Holiday Magic

The holiday season can be challenging. This year is no exception. Third dimensional reality displays unsettled feelings about the economy, terrorism, and political infighting around the next election. If we aren’t careful, we can easily get pulled into the drama. In fact, many of us on our path to higher consciousness unconsciously allow the thoughts of the masses to influence our emotions. How many times to you find yourself sad or depressed for no obvious reason?

This time of year should be a time of joy and a time of renewal. Almost every spiritual tradition supports this, but where is this joy? Are you having difficulty decorating your house or buying holiday gifts this year? There seems to be a pervasive sense of lethargy hanging in the air. Even the sales figures for Black Friday weren’t up to expectations.

Let’s use our thoughts to become the change! We can create a truly great experiment together. Set aside a moment to go within to that place where love resides inside you. Look in that safe place where you store your treasures, right behind your heart. This is where you find the joy that can light up this holiday season for you, and when you flip that switch, you send your light out into the world so that others can see it and remember the truth about why we are here. It can become a domino effect. When we remember that joy is a vibration it becomes easier to connect with and activate that within. When we forget that joy is a vibration, we tend to forget that we have a choice in creating it.

The real purpose behind this holiday season isn’t the giving of gifts or the fancy parties. It is the remembering and rebirthing of your own personal truth. Who you are really is light, a reflection of Spirit who shines through you.

You are both unique and powerful as the creator of your reality, and this season offers you the opportunity to use your personal gifts to do just that. The magic of this season lies in our ability to create JOY. As you remember the feelings of joy, they become contagious, and you are able to share them with others. As you share joy, it grows within you, multiplying the energy of it. Enjoy this grand experiment by taking a moment each day simply to become joy and observe how your joy spreads.

FLEXIBILITY

I thought I WAS flexible! That is when the Universe decided to show me all the areas where I wasn’t. For several years I have dealt with knee pain and the inability of my right knee to bend past a ninety degree angle (can you say ‘inflexible’?) Over time I have tried many healing methods to correct this with little or no change.

Recently I was made aware of just how rigid I had become relative to schedules and my own timeframes when I was in charge of hosting a healer at my office. It seemed that every appointment was delayed, changed or conflicted, and I found myself getting more and more stressed, until the point where I just had to let it go. I gave up. In that moment I realized that each and every person got exactly what they needed when they needed it, and the only one who was stressing was ME. That’s when I realized the degree of inflexibility I had reached! In that moment, a physical change occurred in my body. While I still can’t bend my knee completely yet, I am now able to get it past that old ninety degree point. Who knows, maybe tomorrow I will be able to sit in the child pose and get back to my yoga practice!

Tied in with this lesson is the idea of complete surrender—I now call it ‘free-falling’. As I let go of my rigid thoughts about how things should be, I am freeing myself from the restraints I was placing on my reality and miracles are showing up, more and more every day!

The Way Things Happen

We have choices all the time—how we will react, what we will do based on the situations at hand. Three years ago, a worker fund a thriving hive of honeybees under my log cabin, right under my bedroom. I had to call a beekeeper to remove them. The man gave me a piece of the comb, and it was the most delicious honey I had ever tasted. At the time I wasn’t living there full time, and when I did move to my mountain two years ago, I decided to take up beekeeping as a hobby. Last week I harvested five gallons of amazing honey, and almost immediately, sold 2 gallons of it. My sweet bee-ladies are paying for their keep!


I had a choice. I could have looked at the invasion of the bees as a nuisance—even tried to kill them (ok, that was never an option for me!) Rather I chose to support their existence on my land and help them to thrive. In return they allow me to taste the ‘sweetness of life”.


What choices are facing you today? How will you look at them? As a loving observer or as a judge? Just sayin’~

Questions That Can Change Your Life

Did you ever consider that your life can be influenced by the quality of the questions you ask? Depending on what you ask and how you language the question can make a difference between a positive answer and a negative one.

For example, if you ask “why is everything going wrong?” rather than “what if everything is changing for the better?” you place yourself in a negative energetic place rather than a positive one. Where your attention goes, your energy flows, so if you are focused on the negative, that is what you will create in your reality!

Why not make your questions open-ended? This is a tool I was taught in my early days of sales training. We were told that the most important thing we can do is to listen to the customer, and ask open-ended questions. If you ask a yes or no question, you get a one word answer—very little information flows back to you. But if you ask a leading question, you open the conversation to allow the other person to tell you everything you need, and sometimes things you didn’t eve know you needed!

Here is how you can apply this tip to enrich and change your life for the better—begin every question with ‘What if…?” This opens the door for the Universe to bring you answers that potentially will exceed your expectations.

An example is “what if I could do ___?” Ask this question and listen for the answer. You just created space for being able to do whatever you were asking about without limiting yourself in any way!

Another way to use this tool might be to ask “what might be the result of____?” or “how could I benefit from doing____?” All of these questions allow you to ponder possibilities.

I suggest that you set aside time every day to work with questions. Use your journal.Get into a quiet space where you have about ten minutes and won’t be disturbed. Write one of these questions (or something that is appropriate to where you are in your life at that moment). Then sit quietly with that until you get an answer. The response might come in the form of a ‘bright idea’, or a fleeting thought, but you might look up and see a sign on the side of a passing truck that gives you the inspiration you were looking for. Don’t limit yourself or the Universe—be open to all possibilities. Give yourself permission to expand!

LOVE NOTES!

It’s LOVE month, and the bug question is: how we can each have more love in our lives—not just in February, but all the time. First, we must fully understand that love has to happen within before it can manifest in the outer world. Second, love is simply energy, so the Law of Attraction is in operation around love just like any other form of energy.

Here are a few tips for creating more love:

1.Go back through your personal timeline, and think about every love you have ever had. Start with your mother/father, then your kindergarten crush, high school romance, every love you can think of regardless of how significant. Expand this search out to encompass all significant relationships. With each one say, “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I forgive you. I love you. Thank you.” Even if you don’t think there is anything that you can remember that requires forgiveness on either part, do it anyway. We never know how we affect another person.

2.Take fifteen minutes every day to tell yourself how much you love YOU-every part of you.

3.Write a note to three people who have meaning in your life and mail it (yes—stamp and post office kind of mail—we just don’t do enough of this anymore, and it always makes us feel good to get a hand-written note in our mailbox, doesn’t it!)

Now, let’s expand on each of these exercises. In our timeline, every relationship that we can remember has significance because it shaped a part of us in some way. Odds are the ones you will remember are the ones that had a negative impact, although some of them may just be pleasant memories. As I was doing this exercise, I actually remembered a boyfriend when I was 18 years old, who dumped me for another girl. Until I did this exercise I had forgotten him, and when I did the forgiveness piece, all those old memories came flooding back—my wounded heart, the negative effect on my self-esteem and much more, plus I was able to see the larger picture of how I had allowed this to stand between me an love for the rest of life!

Since love must begin inside ourselves, the second exercise will assist you in believing that you really do love yourself. In the beginning, it will bring up for you all the pieces of you that you don’t love so that you can heal. It’s a process.

Finally, by giving love to others, you open a place in your heart where the Universe can supply you with what you are giving away. The love notes will open your heart in a way that may surprise you!

JOURNALING - ! A GREAT TOOL FOR CONSCIOUS GROWTH AND CREATION!

One of the most powerful tools we can use for personal growth and conscious creation is absolutely free—it only requires a pen and a notebook! Journaling is a great way to clear your mind, focus your thoughts and manifest what you desire. Here are some pointers to get you started, or if you are already journaling, to hone your skills and improve your technique.!

First, let’s examine the how’s and why’s of journaling. I suggest that you will achieve your best and most satisfying results if you do it longhand (hence the reference to pen and notebook), although many use the computer or free blog sites. Writing your  thoughts in a notebook with a pen or pencil engages both hemispheres of your brain in a more complete way than typing on a computer. I find it easier to journal in the morning, when my mind is fresh. Try making a commitment to yourself to do it every day. Julia Cameron, in her book The Artist’s Way, says to write three pages every day.That’s a great initial commitment.

When I first began journaling, I bought the smallest notebook I could find, because I was sure I wouldn’t be able to come up with enough words to even fill a page. Within a week I graduated to a college-ruled version so that I would have more room to chronicle my thoughts!

Why is journaling an effective tool? Where we put our attention is where our energy flows, and where our energy flows is what we create on the physical plane. Journaling focuses your thoughts and gives you a channel for your energy. One important note here is to make sure that you don’t allow your writing to become a ‘bitch session’ however. Why? For the exact reason that journaling is such a great tool for manifesting! If you focus on what you DON’T like about your reality, you will just create more of that. Keep if positive. Even in the suggested topics that follow, you can explore seemingly negative areas of your reality in healthy ways allowing for inner healing.!

Here are some suggestions for topics you can use to get you started:!

1. Who Am I Really?!
2. What Are My Core Negative or Limiting Beliefs?!
3. If I Had 5 Imaginary Lives to Lead Now - What Would They Be?!
4. Who Are My Poisonous Playmates? (Friends who squander your time and energy) and why have I allowed them to stay in my life?!
5. Who Are The Crazymakers In My Life? (People who a.) control you; b.) break deals & destroy schedules, c.) discount your reality; d.) create blame and drama; e.) hate schedules and order except their own) and why haven’t I fired them?!
6. List 20 Things I Enjoy Doing. Next to each one put a date that reflects the last time you did each one.!
7. What Am I Angry About?
8. What Am I Ashamed Of?

Finally, close each day’s entry with something I call Attitude of Gratitude. List at least five things you are grateful for at the moment. This is probably the most important thing you will do. Focusing on your blessings creates even more of them!

Letting Go, Really?

We all struggle with trust issues—some of us more than others. How often have you heard the phrase, ‘Let go and let God?” How often have you tried, but later found you were still trying to control the situation yourself?

Nothing can really happen until we do, in fact, let go, give up, surrender. What if this lifetime is just one alchemical experiment after another, until we finally reach the proof that God and the Universe just want what is in the highest good for us and our souls? Recently, I have come to the conclusion that this is the case.

This week, I am visiting with my three month old grand-daughter. Babies are the perfect metaphor for this. When she is hungry, the food appears. When she is soiled, her diaper is changed almost immediately, and when she’s sleepy, someone is there to rock her gently to sleep.

We have been told that this is the way for all of us to find Heaven, like a little child. But somewhere along the way we have forgotten and lost our trust that God will provide everything we require. We just keep on trying to control every situation, refusing to trust in what we have been promised.

All our lessons in conscious creation run counter to this truth. We are told to visualize, to imaging and give thanks that we already have what we need. And this is PART of the process, no doubt. But what if God and the Universe know even better than we do what is for our highest good? What if God is just waiting for us to stop struggling and allow for the highest good to take place?

Give it a try? Let go FOR REAL? Relax and release all your expectations and allow. You will be surprised!

Find The Joy In The Holiday Season!

Holidays can be difficult times for many. This year is no exception. Third dimensional reality displays unemployment, sickness, and governmental upheaval. If we aren’t careful, we can easily get pulled into the drama. In fact, many of us on our path to higher consciousness unconsciously allow the thoughts of the masses to influence our emotions. How many times to you find yourself sad or depressed for no obvious reason?

 This time of year should be a time of joy and a time of renewal. Almost every spiritual tradition supports this, but where is this joy? Are you having difficulty decorating your house or buying holiday gifts this year? There seems to be a pervasive sense of lethargy hanging in the air.

 Let’s use our thoughts to become the change! If everyone who reads this blog participates, this could be a truly great experiment. Set aside a moment to go within to that place where love resides inside you. Look in that safe place where you store your treasures, right behind your heart. This is where you find the joy that can light up this holiday season for you, and when you flip that switch, you send your Light out into the world so that others can see it and remember the truth about why we are here. It can become a domino effect.

 The real purpose behind this holiday season isn’t the giving of gifts or the fancy parties. It is the remembering and rebirthing of your own personal TRUTH. You are both unique and powerful as the creator of your reality, and this season offers you the time to use your personal gifts to do just that – to create JOY. As you remember the feelings of joy, they become contagious, and you are able to share them with other. As you share joy, it grows within you. So take a moment each day to become joy.

And just in case I don’t tell you enough, I am deeply grateful to each of you for the joy you ignite within my heart and in my life. Thank you!

Abandonment

Abandonment is one of the deep-seated fears that many of us hold. It’s been reinforced by wounding from people, places and situations over time to the point that like a thorn in our finger, we go to great lengths to avoid touching anything, in order to keep from stimulating that wound and feeling the pain again.

 Abandonment is an illusion that began when consciousness took motion or became. Everything is just energy. We all know that. But it is merely potential until motion is interjected into the equation. That is what (meta)-physicist Albert Einstein discovered many years ago. When the energy of consciousness took motion and became form, we appear to have reacted to this. Again, the laws of physics say that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

 Some souls, probably not all because not everyone seems to deal with fear of abandonment, chose to perceive that we were being abandoned by the Creator. Another way we could have looked at this would have been that we were being set free by the Creator to play in the park and enjoy that freedom. Do you see this dichotomy?

If you, like me, have been dealing with fear of abandonment, I suggest that it is time to explore the possibilities that what we might have thought of as reality might just be a mis-perception!
