Many of my Facebook friends comment on my continued positive response to the difficulties that I encounter in my life. The people that have known me a long time and know me well, remark on how I’ve changed over the years and continue to stay in a peaceful state regardless of the many challenges I face. People ask me all the time how can you continue to see the best in others when the world is falling apart? The reason I continue to see the positive aspects in life is because I choose to. We live in a world of polarity and for every piece of goodness we experience, there is difficulty we could have chosen. For every bit of chaos that lands in our local or global world, we can still choose to focus our attention on the goodness that exists. We are our attention and what we put ...
In daily life, we often create stories around false beliefs we hold that do not always serve. You know, the story about you not being good enough, not thin enough, not kind enough, not productive enough. We all have stories, and they often revolve around lack. Whether a romance has recently ended or you’ve just received a devastating health diagnosis, maybe you’ve always wanted to be thinner, richer more at peace. Regardless of your situation, you have most likely created a story around your lack. It’s time now for you, to lay down your stories and move into your life. When we lay down our stories we don’t forget the people have lost, nor do we forget what we need to do to take care of ourselves. We simply believe that we are more than our stories, more than our circumstances. And so we wish to lay them down and ...
For many people, one of the most tangible results of living a spiritual life is the ability to manifest your wishes and desires into the physical world. Go online and you’ll find a plethora of suggestions and practices to put into place in order to bring your most treasured desires into form. You will find step by step instructions as to how to create your personal dream board. You can chart the new and full moon each month and say prayers and invocations. Or if you prefer, you can make a list your hopes put them in a bottle and send them out to sea. Just this week a student asked me what she was doing wrong as she didn’t seem to be able manifest a romantic partner. She listed all of the actions she had taken, and spoke of her frustration as no-one had appeared yet and said she ...
There is nothing of greater importance in our life then our relationships and few things charged with more emotion and personal history. Shocking but true, our relationships are always a work in progress and we are, too. While we are meant to enjoy our beloveds when life goes smoothly, it’s truly the tough times-the moments that pinch that provide us with our opportunity for conscious growth. Most of us however miss that opportunity during moments of conflict as we get trapped in our feelings and negative thoughts and spiral into the distraction of creating more chaos. How many times have difficult conversations with your partner led you into a highly charged negative state? Have you found yourself irritated with your children when you feel unappreciated? Do you find yourself resentful of your siblings as old stories play repeatedly in your over active mind? When relationships are not going well, we ...
Everything carries frequency, even words. Perhaps the easiest way to begin to live an abundant life is by watching the words you use and making sure that the energy that fuels your words words carries high vibration. You may never have thought about words holding a certain vibration but you most certainly have had the experience. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? Can be said by an exasperated parent when their child knocks over a glass of water and spills it all over the floor. Those very same words can be spoken by a loved one when they are curious as to what is on your mind. It’s the tone, the vibration that’s behind the words that are spoken, that is what you experience. The energy, is your key as to whether their words carry the low vibration of irritation or the high frequency of care and concern. The beauty is, you ...
As a spiritually responsible being you know how important it is to take care of the physical aspects of life. For instance you would never allow your checking account to constantly be in the red. Being overdrawn financially is messy, it’s irresponsible, and it represents living in lack. But what about your spiritual bank account? Every day when you wake up your energetic bank account is full. You are physically, mentally and energetically rested and you are able to create unlimited abundance. Whether you end your day in the black or in a deficit is up to you, and most people don’t realize how their actions even those they identify as “just being human” effect their spiritual bank account. As you head out for your day excited about supporting your clients you may get stuck in traffic, and start to stress as you’re running late for the healing you are ...
Your work first and foremost, is to take care of you. How are you doing at that job? Are you taking time for quiet and rest and meditation? Are you asking for help when you need it? Are you speaking your truth? Here’s the big question; do you allow yourself to receive or are you always the one that is giving? When I ask these questions of my students most of the time I hear: “Who has the time for rest or meditation?” “I’m so stressed & I’m so tired that I don’t know what my truth is…” “Who can I ask for help, everybody’s always coming to me?” “I don’t feel comfortable receiving from others, aren’t I supposed to be the one that gives?” If you recognize yourself here, you need to begin to put yourself in the center of your universe. Constantly putting others before yourself doesn’t serve ...
Operating From A State Of Resistance You are a vibratory being and your willingness to be in a state of “allowing” versus the state of “resistance” is the key to you developing an abundant life. As you are reading this blog post, these words may not be foreign to you. However, understanding the state of resistance and how you currently may be allowing it to block your ability to grow your business, to develop deep meaningful relationships and fill your bank account until it overflows, may still elude you. In addition, learning how to shift the paradigm from being “resistant” to being in a state of “allowing” may not be clear to you. When I speak of “resistance,” I’m talking about the human quality within you that chooses not to access your higher knowing in response to irritating moments and during difficult interactions with others. Resistance often comes in the ...
Do You Expect Others and Situations to Change Before You Can Be Happy? Even though you believe the words: “Be the change you seek”, are you still waiting for peace to arrive? You may be convinced that you’d be happy if your family appreciated you more, if your bank account was full, or if you could finally take the two-week break that you need so badly. But, if you believe that your happiness will only happen when circumstances change and others shift their behavior, you are giving your power away and that will leave you feeling inadequate, and powerless. Although you may wish to live in the higher realm of who you are, if your actions speak to your belief that your peace is reliant on anyone other then you, you are mistaken. If you wait for life to change around you, you will spiral down deep in the depths ...
Being kind and compassionate are spiritual values that matter greatly to those of us on a spiritual path. You may believe that you work from a heart centered space or perhaps you make a point of sharing your values with your friends and children, encouraging them to move forward in their higher wisdom every day. Yet when you get home after you’ve spent a day battling traffic, healing others, and listening to your employees concerns and you’re tired and exhausted, can one unkind word from your partner send you over the tipping point? Are you able to respond from your heart or do you snap back with harsh words and lots of unkind thoughts? While you may speak of the importance of being open to abundance, does that belief go right out the window when your bank account is in the red leaving you filled with fear and anxiety? As ...
