Walking in the true meaning of light.

When the time comes for each of us to walk into the light, pain is there. We are being guided to the light of truth every day, more and more. As the light shines on our flaws and our issues it feels terrible. We feel the fire of purification. As much pain as it brings us it also brings with it freedom. In the fire of truth we find our old selves being burnt away and as the ashes of ways that don’t work fall away, a new creature is revealed.

We can stand in the light feeling lighter and freer of all the heaviness that clung to us. We find peace in the light of forgiveness…mainly forgiveness of ourselves, but also of others. We are washed with the light of awareness, both of our actions and the way in which any situation can become an opportunity to learn, grow and change for the better. We are also fed by the infinite stream of the divine wisdom and “knowing”. We learn to listen to our intuition and our inner feelings and to be guided by our inner knowing rather than our minds which seem to get in the way most of the time.,

As each of us clear away the thick fog one subject at a time… we become lighter, freer and more capable of actually giving a true love to others… and we become true receivers. Not just taking from others as if they owe us something and not pushing away things from others in fear it’s attached to some sort of abuse, neglect or price. We find a true balance in giving and receiving.

Our self concept begins to change and we see ourselves as strong and living this life on purpose. Our actions become true alignments with our thoughts and words. We feel better about who we are, bless how we got there no matter our past, and we boldly step into every day feeling alive and excited to see what tomorrow will bring and who will be the next person you can be a blessing to.

In time our self confidence blossoms, our wisdom increases and our light shines truth on others. We feel compelled to share our light with others and help them see the pain and issues in their own lives. We each in our own way become the light of truth and when we shine our light on others they sometime will feel discomfort as they stand close to the flame.

You are doing them a favor and they will sometimes cringe or hide or cry or walk away… it never feels good to have someone shine a huge light on the places you feel broken… but it’s exactly those places where you need to be healed that hurt the most. Like a splinter deep below the skin… if you let it sit there it will fester and become painful for a long time however if you allow the tweezers a sharp quick tug at the end of the splinter, the pain  will be over and the wound can begin to heal much faster.

Heal yourself… and welcome the pain of transformation… only then can you stand in the light and feel truth as a welcomed friend and not an enemy to be feared. The light of truth is always there waiting for you to look into the mirror and see the wounds and accept that they need to be healed once and for all.

Drifting in the Divine Flow

Many of us walk around in the Divine flow and are completely unaware of what it is that we are even in.

The Divine Flow is always on even when we cant see the evidence of it in our lives as physical manifestation. 

Sometimes the flow is deep in the under currents of life where we cant see things that are being orchestrated to manifest in our lives quite yet but it's there.... always moving us ever forward into the next highest expression of who we are to become.

Recent events in my life have been proof of this very flow.

We needed to move from the city we were living in and our desire to move to a  city 30 minutes from where we currently lived was in our hearts. Soon I was inspired to check the online version of a local paper and there it was. A place 7 minutes from the town we wanted to live in and for a price that was far more reasonable than what we currently paid. 

I called the gentleman and he said come take a look to see if it was a fit. My mom drove 2 hours to pick me up and take me to see the place. It was a great match. We wanted 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an office. Plus a fire place and we needed decent storage. We wanted wooden floors and a large screened in porch... and we wanted central air and heat.

Not only did we get everything that we wanted we got great neighbors, great schools and a beautiful quiet location only 7 minutes from the town we love to visit so often.

Everything is so conveniently located, there is a YMCA with tons of activities for us and the kids and parks and shopping and dining and so much more. The Great Spirit gave us exactly what we wanted and more. We had to let go and trust that it would happen which was very hard. I wanted to be in control of where, when and how it happened which stressed me out so much I began to have night mares and had trouble sleeping.

BUT... when I finally said... "ok, I can't do this alone, please help me." And when I really let go of my expectations while holding onto my desires... I was inspired to look at an ad, make a call, take a drive and there was the answer to all of our needs right there.

A lesson learned for me. I always hear "let go or release it to the Universe" but damn it's hard to do that.

I find myself in fear and worry because I grew up in fear and worry and it blinds and binds us. Fear can seem to be an entity unto itself and it can take over our thoughts sometimes. I am not saying it is separate from us I am saying it seems to be separate from us at times, odd for our nature.

I told my daughter that it feels like we are all angels born into human bodies and we forget who we really are. We forget that we are love, truth and compassion. We let fear of separation or loneliness or not getting our needs met, hide our true natures. We have forgotten our ability to connect to each other intuitively and to see situations clearly.

We have the ability to be connected with our higher selves and or our guides. With this we can see and feel the connection with the Divine Flow.

When we are connected and trusting that life will flow to us in abundant ways, magic happens and a beautiful unfolding occurs. We then receive the love and the life that the Divine has been trying to give us all along. It's everything that we have dreamed of and usually more.

Take with you today the wisdom of connection, allowing and trust. Then as you wait, watch for synchronicity and things will begin to appear almost effortlessly in your life.

Under the emotional microscope

     I have recently felt like I am under the eye of a very powerful microscope of the universe. It seems to be poking and prodding all of the parts in my life that I tend to shelter because I, like anyone else, don't like the pain of old unhealed wounds.

I feel some of the things from my past creep up and because of all of the healing I have done with EFT and other modalities I have been able to knock things out pretty quickly, but I do find my self from time to time trying to keep from going down certain painful roads. I ask myself "what am I protecting this pain for?".

My theory is that I protect it because it's the things that hurt the most to touch and also because I don't want to admit on some level that I have "stuff" that I haven't dealt with yet.

As a physic counselor it is easy to help others deal with their issues and point out where they may need more healing, but to look at myself and say I need more healing is at times quite difficult.

The good news is that this happens with everyone that I know both professionally and personally. No one likes to look at their issues or their stuff and admit that they are not healed on some level. So you and I don't have to feel alone in this area. We can look out the window and see that there are people just like us who need deeper healing... and that they probably need it more than they are willing to admit.

So I'll tell you how I deal with this...

First I write down what ever it is that is coming up for me in this area. I will then use EFT (emotional freedom techniques ) to get at the emotions surrounding the issue. I then sit with it and sometimes will meditate. Lastly I will do some positive affirmations that will either let me know if I have settled the issue or not.

These tools are absolutely necessary for me.

EFT was developed by Gary Craig based on NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) and acupuncture points. It entails one learning a basic method of tapping acupuncture points that take the negative emotion out of a situation or issue and it can also reduce or eliminate pain as well. You can get the manual through amazon for a small fee at this link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1604150661?ie=UTF8&tag=eliboo-20

Meditation is valuable which I became familiar with after watching Deepak Chopra's movie called 7 Spiritual Laws of Success. In the movie he talks about balance and the ease and flow of nature. He says we need to get back into balance with the natural rhythm of nature and it will restore our being and the universe will respond with abundance in all areas of our lives.

Affirmations are a key building block for changing the way that you see yourself and the world. At first affirmations feel fake as if you don't mean what you are saying or writing. An affirmation is words that you speak or write repetitively that in time create a belief system in your mind about who you are and the world around you. Such as "I am stupid" or "The world is a mean place". As you go around saying these things all of the time or even most of the time you create the world you live in. Louise Hay wrote You Can Heal Your Life and in the book she teaches the power of affirmations in an easy to understand way. They have changed my life for the better and thanks to her book I now have the tools to continue to grow and to change my life.

Each and every time we use a tool we get better at using it. We become comfortable with the feel of it and the way it helps us and when we need to use a particular tool and when we need to choose a different one. The power of our inner source allows us to know more and more over time what is best for us to use.

Please take the time to actually USE the tools you have at your fingertips. If you never pick them up and apply them then you can't complain that your life remains the same.

Your abilities...

Each of us have the ability to heal ourselves, intuit events, hear our guides, and speak to the ones who have passed... most of us are just unaware of our own connections to our inner wisdom.

The Divine, Great Spirit, God/Goddess, or whatever name you wish to call it, is connected to us because it is us. We are a part of the collection of energies that make up atoms that make up molecules that make up DNA that make up cells that make up organs that make up our bodies. BUT the point being that behind all of the physical "stuff" is the pure intelligent energy that makes us a part of everything. 

Even though the Earth contains rivers, trees, dirt, oceans, lakes, sand dunes, mountains, lava, oil, mud, salt, all precious and semi precious stones, and all the elements... in it's totality we call it Earth. We don't walk around saying we live on tree, mountain, dirt, ocean, lake, river, lava, oil, sand dune, salt, mud planet. 

We are a part of a whole system, we are a part of the Earth, we are a part of the sky... we owe her because she gives us everything that we need to survive. Without her we would have NO where else to go. Seriously WHERE are we going to go? We are not advanced enough to travel the stars or make pilgrimages to other worlds.... this is all we have. And if we did make it to another planet, would we then claim it ours and then destroy it's living, thriving ecosystem too?

We have a connection to all that is, because we are part of all that is. We are connected to each other because we are each other at the very depths of our being. When we reach out and strike another we are striking ourselves... when we say hurtful things to another we are hurting ourselves too. 

So have compassion for others but also for yourself. We need compassion as we relearn our unique abilities... and use them to help others. We are all wise women and wise men... we always have been... we have just forgotten... We need to get back in touch with the Earth and the Divine in everything. If we see the Divine in ourselves and also in everything and everyone, how could we ever hurt, destroy, or violate it? 

Reach inside and listen to your heart. Listen for the strong but gentle voice of the Divine. Your guides await your return. You have never been alone. There are others like you out here. Keep seeking connection to the ones that support your growth and your abilities so that you may grow into who you were meant to be on every level.

This is the time of the Great Awakening... a time for introspection and healing. A time for coming back to life so to speak. We have lost so much of who we are that we have lived as shells without it's mollusk. We may look pretty on the outside but on the inside we are hallow and empty. It is time to become whole again.

This is your journey to yourself... no need to look for something outside of yourself to save you because what you need to heal is in you already. You may need some guidance a long the way but the rest is up to you. Are you ready?

~A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Wisdom Within

Did you know that you have the answers that you seek inside of you?

Did you know that you are the only one that can truly answer the deeper questions in your life?

Did you know that some of the best tools that we have are based on mystic traditions?

When you admit and finally come to realise the wise woman inside of yourself... you are then connected to the deeper river of intuition and soul. When you take a look at that soul and you reach for the hand of the child inside of you that has been hiding and hurt, or scared and angry... you can heal and then the healing brings deeper meaning to your life and also clarity and new meaning into relationships.

Healing comes from within.

Being a wise woman does not mean you know everything. It means you learn and grow as you go. But it also means you take the time to not only learn but  that you USE what you are learning, building your foundations, upholding your truths, and having compassion for others who fall down as you have.

From your place of imperfection should you not give others the same compassion or is it that you can't take your own imperfections without beating yourself up? When you have impatience with others that's a chance for you to look at the impatience that you have with yourself. The way you treat others is the way you treat yourself. It is a mirror. And if you look into that mirror and you don't like what you see then it is time my dear to clean up your internal dialog and your belief that some how you have to live up to some sort of perfection.

YOU are a wise woman... you have the wisdom of all the Divine within you. Answers come to those who keep asking and keep looking and take the time to listen quietly. Wisdom within you can only be heard when you take the time to hear and to accept your imperfections. Wisdom comes when you are ready to hear what the Divine has to say.

Life is a great teacher... you are a great student... as long as you realise we are all students together here. You may teach, you may coach, you may lead... but you are always and foremost a student.

Wise woman student... have compassion towards others and in your compassion others will gain the strength to shine. Help others up but never become the crutch. They have to do it on their own.

It's time for the wise women to take up the tools of our ancestors and not be afraid of who knows or who sees. You have intuition and you know things. This is a gift of the Divine and we all need to be practicing and strengthen our abilities. This is living in an awakened state and it is required for us to move forward in our evolution. Conscious community, conscious evolution, conscious living... wisdom looks like many different things to different people... but the main thing is that you understand that we are all looking for the same end result... freedom to be ourselves in the highest idea of who we have become.

Life is good if you are willing to look deeper. BUT to look within takes courage and it takes strength. However the rewards are amazing.

Poor Me...

It's sad that some of the most wonderful women I come in contact with are so lost in their own self pity and lack of self confidence that they repeat cycles of performance and perfectionism that no one, including themselves, can live up to.

I see this repeated with women whom one may think that they have their stuff together. They are attractive, in good shape, great health, and they have booming careers or are very successful in what ever they do in business however they have awful unrewarding and sometimes abusive or neglectful relationships.

A woman said to me that she can't understand why she keeps attracting the same sorts of men. They seem really into her at first but then they tend to push her away and eventually they label her as the bad one in the relationship. I asked her to tell me if there was any of these men that reminded her of her father or mother.

She said yes that a few of them actually reminded her of her father. She told me the ways that they reminded her of him and we began to sort through why she needed these types of men in her life.

For women the first man in our life usually sets up how we receive love later in life. It's mainly set up by our  father or the first dominant male in or lives. That could be an Uncle or a brother or even a step father... But it sets us up later in life for how we relate to men.

When we had a poor relationship with our father or other male influence, we often times want love and acceptance believing that if we try harder or do more that this guy will accept who we are more or love us more. The problem with that is that no matter our performance, meaning what we do for him, to him, or with him, does NOT mean he will show us more love, or FEEL more love for us.

What women need to understand is that if you have a broken relationship with the influential male figure in your youth then you will more than likely have the same thing happen in your current relationships. (no need to revisit the past, you can rebuild yourself from this point.)

You must begin by working on your own inner self worth and self dialog. A really great place to start is affirmations. I know a lot of people are like "oh they never work".... BUT if you spend most of your day beating yourself up because you have failed at something or fear of failing at something, then you never give yourself anything good to feel about. Let me repeat that... You need to give yourself something good to feel about. (i didn't say it backwards people) You have to say good things about yourself, and point out good things about yourself, to feel good about yourself.

If you change your focus from the negative aspects of you to the good things you see about YOU then you will begin to see and develop more good things to see about yourself. This will not make you egotistical.

Self confidence and self belief is not egotistical. This is about helping you rebuild a foundation that may not have been built properly as a child. You must have a rock solid foundation before you can stack more blocks or the building will crumble. You are the only source of this new foundation. No one can do it for you...ever!

There are many resources about affirmations and one that I love and recommend often is called "you can heal your life" By Loiuse Hay  (click the link to read about or get the book)

The tools are out there but if you never use them then why spend the money to buy them or the time to read them. Tools need to be used and reused. There are many ways to help yourself.... But only IF you are willing to do the work will you see results. YOU can and will change your life, YOU can and will have rewarding, balanced relationships... BUT... You have to take the steps to climb to the top... are you willing to take the steps? And if not now, When?

Talking to our inner child

Taking to the inner child becomes quite the challenge for many of my clients. I see them disapproving of themselves in many ways and saying hurtful things to themselves. They don’t even realize that it’s possible that the voice that they are using comes from whatever adult was predominantly in their lives.

I had a client that kept repeating the same mistakes over and over. He was getting really angry with himself because he saw himself almost accomplish something and then he would fall back or give up. So I asked him “who is telling you that you don’t add up to their expectations?” He said his mother. I asked him “will she love you any less if you don’t accomplish this thing?” And a light went on in his eyes. “No.” he said. “She would still love me the same even if I don’t accomplish this.” So he realized that the only person that was making up these expectations was himself. He was the one that did not accept himself. And then he got it… he got that he was the one creating the mindset that kept him from truly accomplishing things in his life. He had no one to answer to except himself.

He was now ready to talk to that little 5 yr old boy inside and treat that little boy the way he needed to be treated. No yelling at him for not putting away the toys… compassion and guidance comes into action here. He began a new dialog with that boy and allowed the inner child to feel safe, loved and accepted.

This was a journey that took us about an hour but there was so much release and so much healing that happened in such a short time.

I believe in the magic of visualizations and re-parenting of the inner child. Once you give it a safe place to live… the outside world becomes a much better place very quickly.
