Simplify For Less Stress

Leave a comment

Let me start this chapter by just saying, that I do not denounce material wealth in anyway. We are in physical bodies to experience and enjoy money and what it buys. However, when our pursuit of money leads us to be out of balance with the rest of our being, it can cause what any imbalance can cause, stress and disease.

Why are we so compelled to buy the latest model automobile or electronic device? Is it to make life easier for ourselves? Or is it to show others how successful and trendy we are?

Let’s see, if we work harder to keep buying things that will make our lives easier, aren’t we still working harder than ever? And how does having more material things really make our lives easier?
This success oriented myth has been swallowed by us hook, line and sinker.

I always wonder how the Europeans, that I have known, work less than Americans, but enjoy fuller, richer lives on less money. If you have ever had the opportunity to see how most Europeans live, then you know that they either live in very small homes or flats. Most TVs are about 19” and all other appliances, furniture, automobiles, etc. also tend to be small. Why are Americans so obsessed with bigger is better, or even more expensive is better.

The secret to less stress is simplicity. We MUST learn to live our lives in a more simple way.

Don’t Be Manipulated!

Leave a comment

It is important to start thinking with the heart, as opposed to, thinking with the brain to know how to make decisions.

Always ask yourself, “What makes me happy?”.

When we think with our minds, we need to filter through all the thoughts and opinions that we have ever been exposed to. Just imagine your mind as a murky sea of thoughts, thousands of them traveling aimlessly in different directions. How can you come to a clear decision with all that confusion in your mind?

But when feeling with your heart, you will feel either an expansion or a contraction with every question asked.

At the time of our birth, we come into our bodies with no judgements about anything except for physical discomfort or pleasure. Like a sponge, we start soaking up other people’s judgements, ideas and opinions, and personalize them. These are the concepts that we need to release and let go of.

In our society, we are continually bombarded with manipulative advertising and propaganda (disguised as “The Nightly News”), to influence the way we think and behave.

Fear is our greatest enemy. Fear is used to sell products and services, as well as, controlling us, so that we conform to be a passive society.

Most major corporations are run to make huge profits at our expense ( literally and figuratively ). We must become aware of the incredible deception that keep us away from our spiritual legacy and stay submerged in perpetual debt.

We will only find personal freedom if we break the chains of this thought and outside manipulation.

Saint Germain: Why Your Soul Feels Trapped In Your Body – Channeled by Alex of Avalon

Leave a comment

As our vibration rises, it also expands. The expansion (which is the 5th Dimensional Being realized), is in a way conflicting with our 3rd Dimensional being, or our old paradigm limitation.

The limited thinking is that our bodies are what they are, in the way that what we see is reality. However, being made out of molecules that in Quantum Physics reality, move and can shift, now becoming multi-dimensional beings. Our bodies, both physical and ethereal (chakras, emotional, spiritual and astral), are expanding and making room for our expanded souls.

We can visualize our bodies expanding to make room for our expanded souls, without gaining weight. It is allowing space for our larger souls.

Taking Your Power Back

Leave a comment

When we do not face our emotional baggage, it manifests in our bodies. So, our bodies and our emotions will tell us the issues to look at.
Where do you hurt? What Chakra is associated with that pain or condition?

A client had experienced an altercation with a person. She kept telling me that her stomach hurt. I told her that her stomach was related to Solar Plexus Chakra, and that she felt an ache in her stomach because this situation made her feel powerless. The Solar Plexus relate to willpower and being in your power. Once she became aware of this, her stomach stopped hurting.

It is my experience, that all negative emotions result from feeling a lack of power.

I have had many clients say that they have a hard time dealing with a certain person. I bring to their attention that they feel this way only because they lose their power when dealing with this person. Then I ask, what would make you feel empowered or in control of the situation?

There are many ways that we can take our power back from another person or situation. If someone calls us on the phone and keeps pushing our buttons, we can either limit our conversation to say, ten minutes, or limit the conversation to only certain subjects that do not irritate us, or we can just stop talking to them altogether.

When we can define our boundaries, we start gaining our personal power.

Now, another way of looking at this is when someone pushes your buttons, ask yourself, “Who does this person remind me of?”

I had a client whom I had a difficult time dealing with. Whatever I said or did, did not satisfy her. I just couldn’t make her happy.
I started getting very irritated with her and vowed that I would never see her again.

When I asked myself, “Who did she remind me of?”, I thought, “Oh my God, she acted just like my mother.” My mother was very critical of me. Either I couldn’t do anything right, or I could definitely do it better.

This client actually gave me a gift by bringing this belief to my attention. I promptly worked on releasing these thoughts about myself.

Four months later, this client called for another session. I thought to myself, “I know I decided to not take her back, but as an experiment, I would take her back to see if the work I had done would result in a different experience. Sure enough, she was not at all critical and did not complain. But was very happy…and so was I. At that point, I made the connection between how we feel about ourselves (our belief system), and what experience we choose to bring to us.

Thoughts are energy. When we believe a “truth” about who we are (thought-energy), we attract a situation that proves our belief to be true.
If we can change that belief to a more positive one, we can change our experience to a more favorable one.

By doing these two things, (creating boundaries and changing old negative beliefs), we are able to take back our power and stay in our power.

Becoming Aware of Your Emotional Baggage

Leave a comment

Honesty with ourselves is a priority. We should ask ourselves:

What do I really want?

Why haven’t I ever received it?

What do I need to change in my beliefs in order to receive what I want?

When we become totally honest with ourselves is when we get insight into the problem. We create the awareness needed to emotionally evolve and move forward in our life.

When we do not face our emotional baggage, it can manifest in our bodies creating disease. So our bodies and our emotions will tell us what issues to look at.

Where do you hurt? What Chakra is associated with that pain or condition?

A client had experienced an altercation with someone. She kept telling me that her stomach hurt. I told her that her stomach is related to her Solar Plexes Chakra, and that she experienced an ache in her stomach because this situation made her feel powerless. The Solar Plexes Chakra relates to will power and being in your power.

Once she became aware of this, her stomach stopped hurting.

Forgiveness

Leave a comment

We have been told time and time again, that when somebody did us wrong, we needed to forgive them. That through forgiveness, we would be able to move on. I agree. However, the forgiveness is always directed toward the person who has hurt us. I only half agree with that.

I’ve been writing about our belief system, and how our lives reflect what our beliefs dictate. And so, the person who has “hurt” us was basically acting out exactly how our belief system expected them to. So why are we so shocked and surprised?

“Every man I get involved with, cheats on me!” or “I always attract someone with a substance abuse problem.” When we don’t change what we believe about ourselves, these can be beliefs that will keep on giving.

Everything we believe will ultimately happen.

When you become aware of what negative situation you are experiencing, you can then have the ability and awareness to walk away from that situation. If you keep walking away, you are sending out the message that this is no longer an appropriate experience for you. Or, that you no longer need this lesson in your life.

Getting back to forgiveness, I have noticed that the person who is doing the forgiving, that many times the ego is hugely present. “I (and that’s a really big “I”), forgive you” (that’s a small you, if you haven’t already guessed). “I am the better and bigger person, and I forgive you.” Is that really forgiving? Forgiveness is allowing yourself to detach from the emotional attachment that the ego thrives on.

The best way I have found to detach myself from holding on to the hurt, is to forgive myself. Is this messing with your mind? Let me explain. If it is our belief system that attracts someone or a situation into our lives that will act accordingly to our beliefs, then we are actually, a willing participant in what we experience. And by taking responsibility for ourselves (and our beliefs), we can begin to change our way of thinking and then change what we are experiencing in our lives.

Forgive yourself for everything you have participated in, that gave you heartache or embarrassment. Forgive and love yourself for the magnificent being that you are, and go on to experience the beauty and opportunities that life has to offer. Forgive yourself first, and everything else just falls into place.

Perception

Leave a comment

Perception is the way that we interpret what we experience. This is directly tied into our belief system. It may as well be one in the same.
Our beliefs tell us what is “true” (I have quotations around true because our truth is tainted or influenced by our beliefs).

When you observe our society, you will see an art critic saying about a piece of art, “This is genius!” But when you look at it, it doesn’t make any sense to you, so your reaction is that it is bad art. Who’s right? You or the critic? It could be that both of you are right.

We all feel that our perception is the correct one. When is it not right? When it has a negative influence on our life.

Years ago, I found myself having my heart set on purchasing something that I had to have. I was experiencing angst because I couldn’t afford it. I decided to meditate to calm myself down and get centered. When I came out of my meditation, I saw that what I couldn’t live without, didn’t have any hold on me anymore. If I didn’t buy it, I wouldn’t stress.

What had happened was that when my perception had changed, the stress and angst were no longer present. So any negative situation can be simply by changing the way we look at it.

Experiment with this. Think of a situation. How many ways can you approach it? This is the beginning of awareness and of being creative with the way you observe things and then thinking outside the box.

Looking at a situation and making the right choice, will always keep you in your power. We all have the right to take care of ourselves and be happy.

Our DNA Has the Capability to Keep Us Healthy

Leave a comment

Our DNA is our individual blueprint. It takes complete care of our bodies. Our bodies are constantly combating infection, viruses, diseases such as cancer, diabetes, etc. Our bodies are always trying to bring balance back to our system. DNA has the capability to keep us healthy. Our DNA works at a very small percentage of it’s potential, approximately only 30% allowing for disease to set in. If our DNA worked even at 60%, we would stay healthy.

What suppresses the DNA is our emotional baggage. As we work through and let go of this emotional baggage, our DNA starts to work more efficiently. When our DNA works more efficiently, not only do we stay healthy, but our Being (energy) vibrates at a higher level, thus allowing us to open up and work with the energies of ascension.

Many people are having a difficult time with these ascension energies when they don’t release old beliefs. They react with anger, depression, confusion, violence and despair.

It is very important that we become aware of these negative emotions and work to release them. Then we start to enjoy better health, as well as, a healthier way to respond to situations. As we grow more emotionally balanced, we see it in how other people see us and respond to us.

Joy

Leave a comment

Lately, I have been taken by surprise by an overwhelming feeling of joy that overtakes my body. It didn’t happen because I have just met the love of my life or that I have just won the lottery. At first, I would just observe it and make a judgment like “I must be losing my mind!”, because these moments happen when I’m usually doing something mundane, like the laundry or washing the dishes.

I have realized that as our vibration reaches higher levels, we are given glimpses of another way of being. Joy happens to be our natural state of being. We are spiritual beings of joy.

If you have ever read Louise Hays’ book “Heal Your Body”, you will understand that most dis-ease that our bodies develop comes from a lack of joy in our Being. Not being in joy conflicts and disrupts with our natural state of being.

I was giving a session with a client who was getting ready to move to another city and was having trouble renting out her house. She exclaimed “ I’m tired of having to earn everything in my life”. Basically, she saw everything in her life as a struggle (another good example of “ a belief”). Recognizing this, I said to her, instead of seeing this as a struggle, find the “joy” in where you are going. Find the “joy” in finding the right person to rent your house.

Just this shift in our perspective can change how we view a situation (from bad to good), and the belief that timing is everything, helps us to have trust and not try to force what we want to happen.

Be sensitive to the signs and omens. Ride the wave with zero resistance. Stay in the moment as this lifts you up and gently lets you back down and then back up again. Acquiescence allows what you desire and intention to manifest. Have patience with joy. In Shamanism, the rabbit totem teaches you to know when to sit patiently and to know when to run.

Personally, If I want to create a change in my life, I will allow it no more that three attempts at it. If it doesn’t work, then I change my approach and try it again. We are co-creators, so be creative.

Don’t be afraid to tap into your creative self to come up with a solution.

When I was in my early twenties, I would read the biographies of very successful people. Every time I finished a book, I would try what the person did to become successful. Of course, none of those methods worked for me. What is one person’s path will not be another’s.

A few years later, I started following my intuition and my heart and my life became more successful. I realized that each of these people whose biographies I had read, had also done the same thing – They dared to follow their “gut” and succeeded.

When you follow your heart, how could you not feel joy? You do, because you are in the flow. When you have awareness you have joy. When you are doing what you really want to do, you have joy.

The Ascension Process

Leave a comment

Are you ready for the ascension process that is happening right now? Planet Earth, along with every human, animal, plant and mineral upon it, is being nudged to raise its vibration.

As more light comes onto the planet, we experience “growing pains” that are forcing us to let go of the old paradigm and our own personal issues.

Along with outdated concepts on community, government, religion and economy, the way we react and respond to all things is being challenged.

We often find that current and past life influences have imprisoned our emotional and mental state, prohibiting us from raising our vibration along with our planet and Universe.

When we resist releasing old patterns, we cease to be in the flow of the Universe, and we experience stronger negative backlash within our lives.

Letting go of these patterns allows our vibration to rise, resulting in an increased feeling of joy, happiness and inner peace. And inner peace alters the way that we react to our personal challenges and to others.

There are many ways and techniques to process and release old issues. Find someone you feel comfortable with. However, beware of anyone who says that they can heal you without any effort on your behalf. Nobody can do the work for you.

Each of us incarnated into a physical body specifically to do this very important work: releasing the old so that we can create the new. When we work through current and past life issues we are able to heal ourselves. It is also important that you are committed to doing the work and to accepting the healing without resistance.

Many times we resist growth. The reason for this is that the Supreme force (or God) consists of everything – good and bad, light and dark, and every other polar opposite. Think of it this way, you have spirit and light and on one end of the spectrum and darkness and density on the other. Since we are in a physical body (density) we are spirit and matter combined.

As we become more saturated with light and as we evolve, the duality of our being begins to separate in the different directions of polarity, causing resistance. And that is when we feel anxiety and depression and an all-around feeling of uneasiness in our body.

But this uneasiness is only temporary and soon gives way to a feeling of peacefulness and wellbeing, until the next release. Just know that with each release it becomes less and less intense.

Ultimately, we are not pulled back into the drama of our lives, but experience a stillness that allows us to view things in a more detached way.
