What you think?

Have you ever been in a place where you were going to tell someone how you thought they should do something…didn’t get to tell them for whatever reason and then watched what that person did resulting in an even better outcome than you expected?  I know that’s a long winded question.  Let me put to you this way.  Have you ever just let your family or friends do something you thought wouldn’t work out, didn’t saying anything, and then some time later you observed it totally worked out even better than you expected?  What did you notice in that experience?

One issue in my face right now is ‘telling people what I think they should do’.  Do you ever do that…tell people what you think they should do?  I’m talking about these kinds of examples…when your husband feels drawn to go the bank at 10:30am and you stop him saying he should go later when you think it would be best; your children want to take a night class and you talk them out of it because they should maybe get a job first then think about classes; your friend wants to buy a special gift for their friend and you talk them out of it.  What about the times you ‘talk yourself out of doing something?’ You are in the grocery store and you really feel like buying butter but you don’t because you think you have lots at home (you get home and there is no butter).  Have you ever done that?  What did you observe from your experiences?

Think about not trying to change someone’s decision.  Do you find that easy to do?  If you need to say something is what you have to say for their benefit or for yours?  When you want to change someone is it so they feel better or so you feel better?  You can’t change someone but you can change how you feel about someone. What you feel is in your energy.  What is causing you to get someone to change so you feel better?  Where do you have to make the changes so you feel at peace inside?

There is a lot of effort in trying to ‘make’ people do what you want them to do.  There is a lot of effort when fighting the process of going inside and resolving whatever may be causing you to react! There is no effort in being at peace with whatever is going on around you.

When people take the ‘judgement, bother or reaction’ out of anything and everything….what is left?  Think about that for a minute….when you remove your ‘judgements, bothers or reactions’ from someone or something…what is left?  It is within yourself where you will find peace.  How will you know?

Self Empowerment

Self empowerment acknowledges you yourself as the leading authority when it comes to your own life. Self empowerment is an inside job! You see, you are the only person you take to bed with you every night and the only person you wake up with every morning. You are the only person who you take with you everywhere you go 24/7/365 and that makes you the leading authority of your life and of your Self. Whether in business or personal life, you know in any moment of time if you have a great business connection with someone you just spoke to; you know if all of a sudden you feel sick or if you are bothered about what someone says or doesn’t say; you know if you are being honest or that you sense integrity in someone else. That awareness and inner knowing moves you through life with a sense of empowerment. Then when people suggest things to you there will be a presence of what feels right in any moment of time.

Self empowerment comes from within! From within you will find your intuitive sense which is your inner knowing. You will best feel and work with that intuitive sense when you are in an empowered place where you do not have any reaction to what is going on around you. You then can observe and act if you choose, from that place of what feels right to you. As you go about your day to day life, you can start to observe where you are bothered about things. What is really causing you to be bothered? The answer to that question will be found within. Your answer will be about you and what you are feeling about what is going on. You can’t change people around you but you sure can change how you feel. You will always be rewarded as you move through your bothers and live life from a place of that inner knowing of what feels right to you.

Self Empowerment is one word in a collaboration of sharing for a larger project! The Evolutionary Business Council is made up of amazing thought leaders who are spreading prosperity and empowerment globally. Appreciation…forgiveness…magnificance…manifesting…negotiation…vibrant…power of choice…creation…inspire…army…asset…compassion…choice-control…expansion…freedom are some of the other words my fellow leaders have much to share about. They are sharing amazing wonderful insights as we collectively and collaboratively all work towards making a difference in the world. As each one shares I’m excited to share with you. The world is brighter because we are all a part of it….each one of you makes the day complete. Wishing you all the very best!

What about the ego?

Have you been going through a time of struggle and question lately? I know I have been. With the changes in my business I have been doing a lot of inner work as I clear through many issues.

You often hear me talk about messengers who have messages for us. One showed up today with an interesting message. A very good friend of mine, Larry Koftinoff, shared this in his weekly newsletter and I wanted to share it with you…this is the section he wrote about the ego. You may find his writing opens a door in becoming aware of what we may not be aware of:

“Love is demanding. It demands that you forsake the ego… the stories… the illusions… all discriminating thought must be surrendered. The ego creates a barrier or a veil that between you and reality as it is. The ego finds its work in continually interpreting reality… always finding ways to distort the truth… always wanting to be elsewhere than where it finds itself. Its nature is that of a commentator… always analyzing the experience and trying to distort what is. It will tell you that “mmm… you like this” or “you don’t like that” or “I hate my job” or “I wish I would lose some weight”…. never quite satisfied with what is… always wanting to comment.

The ego is quick… before you even realize it has coloured your perception of an experience… it has done its quick work and contaminated the experience… it has come in because your nature of patterned experience has allowed it.

Think of the ego like a servant… standing at the gateway to your heart and allowing in only a small percentage of truthful experience. Some say that it could be as little as 5%… as one awakens… it slowly gets up to 10, 20 30 ,40% and more. This servant is doing its job… analyzing at light speed every action, every perception, every emotion, every experience and then it will compare it to its data banks and spit out a commentary before we realize any of this is going on.”

Can you relate to what Larry has shared? Can you relate to the commentator inside who is so quick to ‘judge’ whatever is or isn’t happening around us? The ‘judging’ is part of the reactions.

As you go about your weeks ahead, start to notice what your commentator may be saying. Every day brings about opportunities to learn and grow. There is no good nor bad, right or wrong. We start from where we are now and move forward with awareness.

Projecting Energy

This past Friday, my daughter, Brittany took our 2 year old granddaughter, Calli to the museum. Of all the displays there, Brittany shared something that transpired at the dinosaur display.  The display houses huge dinosaurs, each dinosaur having a recording of what it sounded like. When they left the display, Brittany didn’t give it another thought until bedtime when Calli seemed to be bothered about something. Calli had been different in some way all evening and then needed to have the light on to go to sleep.

Our family went out for breakfast Sunday morning and shared in the story of the visit to the museum. Brittany asked me if Calli was affected by the dinosaur display.  I connected to the energy and started to share that Calli wasn’t initially bothered by the display but was very much affected by the energy that was being ‘projected onto her’.  I explained that whoever was standing to her back right side was ‘projecting a fear’ about how children would be scared once they started to hear the loud scary sounds the dinosaurs made.  Brittany confirmed to the back right side was a lady who was concerned about the little children and how they may react when the roars of the dinosaurs started.  Brittany also works with energy and could feel what I was picking up allowing her to see what the change in Calli’s behaviour was reflecting.

If you become aware of a change where you notice your children are ‘reacting’ in some way, what is causing the reaction?  I ask you that question to share with you there are many elements involved when reactions surface.  What are the ‘reactions’ highlighting as the underlying issue? This story is about a child but not only directed at the learning for children.

Any time there is a change in behaviour where someone is bothered in some way, the behavioural change will not be coming from something physical as much as it will be coming from something non-physical, which would be energy.

Think about something that you are afraid of…afraid of hurting someone or giving the wrong impression, for example.  How would you feel if that happened?  How would you feel if you saw someone else do that?   Knowing what that would feel like to you, would you make an effort to make sure no one had to experience that?

Using the example with Brittany, will every child walking through the door to the dinosaur display be scared of the loud roaring noises? Could a person who has fears around children being scared be bothered when children come in for the first time? Becoming aware of the feelings involved and the energy around those feelings will make a huge difference in resolving the changes in behaviour.

All I am showing you are the feelings of people can easily be projected onto others. Becoming aware of this reality will make all the difference when you go to do something.  How do you feel…is it your fear or their fear? Is it your bother or their bother?  Where the projection comes in is ‘thinking’ that the children will be scared or another person will be hurt.  Will they be?

What works now?

Do you remember as a child using different strategies to get things you really wanted?  You may have batted your eyes and got to ride your bike for an extra hour.  You may have whined and snivelled getting your own room at last.  Did you ever bride your sister or brother not to tell on you?  What about paying your sister to clean your room so you could go out with your friends?  If you had a big family, I’m sure you got creative!  Now that you are grown up, do those same strategies still work when trying to get what you want?

It has been my experience, whining and snivelling doesn’t work when talking to a loans officer.  Batting my eyes doesn’t work anymore when trying to get out of a parking ticket. The paying money thing does still have merit at times!  I don’t think I’m alone when it comes to having to change the way I do things.

There is more to ‘getting what you want’ than meets the eye.  Your energy plays a huge part in determining the outcome of any situation.  If you ‘expect to get what you want’, people will feel it.  If you have any hesitation with what you want, people will feel that hesitation and uncertainty.  Believe it or not, they may not know you are feeling hesitant but they will sense something ‘doesn’t feel right’ about going ahead with the deal.

Yes, your energy communicates louder than you know.  You only have to become aware of what you are feeling, become real with those feelings and then move into a place of clearing the blocks that are preventing you from getting what you want.  Now that you are grown up, there are wonderful new strategies available for you to consider.  What has worked for you?

Asking for Guidance

Are you the kind of person who asks others for help when you have a problem or challenge ahead of you?  Are you the kind of person that asks for inner guidance on how you may resolve your issues?  You may seek that information in a number of ways like talking with a friend or person you met, praying or meditating.

Are you aware that you can access any information you need, get any answer you need, when you need it?  It is as easy as asking, and then being open to how the information may come to you.

If the Universe wanted to give you information in response to your questions or request for guidance, how do you feel it would come to you; what would you expect?  Information comes through many forms and one common form is actually the people in your every day life. Those people may have the information you are looking.

There will be times when someone lets you know there is a phone call for you or lets you know you are required to attend a meeting.  There will be times when your information is addressed specifically for you and comes right to you, like your mail delivery for example. What about the times the Universe has information for you and that information isn’t specifically addressed to you. How would you know it was for you? 

To give you an example, if you wanted to find a tutor for your child, you may ask your family or friends if they know of someone. If they don’t know of a tutor, you may go about your days wondering who you could get.  Then one day you are standing in the supermarket waiting to pick up some fruit when all of a sudden the gentleman next to you is talking to a lady about the best tutor he has ever worked with.  Does that gentleman have some information for you?  That can be one way showing you how the Universe works to give you the information you are looking for.

In your day to day life, the Universe aligns everything in divine perfection for your learning and growing.  It communicates in ways that you will understand.  You only have to be open to what those ways may be for you. 

What are the ways you continue to get your information from the Universe?

Self Empowerment

What’s the big deal about self empowerment…why would anyone care?  Self empowerment acknowledges you yourself as the leading authority when it comes to your own life. Self empowerment is an inside job!  You see, you are the only person you take to bed with you every night and the only person you wake up with every morning.  You are the only person who you take with you every where you go 24/7/365…that makes you the leading authority of your life and of your self.  What would make that important? 

You know in any moment of time if all of a sudden you feel sick or if you are bothered about what someone says or does.  You know in any moment of time when something doesn’t feel right and its time to make a move.  You know in any moment of time if something changes within you or about you.  All you have to do is become aware.  That awareness opens the door to feeling self empowered.

Why would you want to be your own leading authority?  Have you ever noticed how people readily give you advice on what they think you should and shouldn’t do to resolve your problems?  You see, those people may feel it’s easy for you to do what they suggest, but they are not in your shoes; they don’t know all your fears or all your failures or all your bothers; they have not walked the life you have nor can they.  You are the one who can know how the people, things or situations link together giving you your learning and growing opportunities.  You are with you 24/7/365 and know everything about you.

Every person has issues to deal with because every person is growing in some way.  Your issues and problems are for you to grow through not for someone else to do it for you.  No one can do your inner work for you.  Everyone will have to deal with some issues that money can’t buy or fix.  So if you have to be the one to count on, if you have to be your own leading authority…where can you begin to make a change in your life to feel more empowered on the inside?

Team Players

I’m from the province of the greatest football fans in the world. Last night the Riders lost another football game. While we were listening to the game on the radio with family and friends, I witnessed people getting all upset about what was going on in the game. They were upset about the plays that were called by the coach, missed catches and penalty after penalty definitely added to the frustration. I asked one person who was very emotional, ‘what bothers you about them playing like that?’ They replied, ‘we’re missing the ball and we can’t even kick a field goal.’ In that moment, I could feel the energy! This person was literally in the game with the players and was literally trying to make things happen.

As I was lying in bed this morning, I thought about that experience with the group last night. It made me think…how are we at handling our own teams in life? How are we at playing with our own players and calling our own plays? You bet it is so much easier calling the plays for others…been there!

We have teams that naturally form, like our families, birth and through marriage. We have teams that come together, like the co-workers in our jobs or members of the different associations we belong to. We have teams that we create through our business like our clients, for example. Then we have the team where we are all part of the collective humanity. All of these teams involve players of all kinds.

Do you always get to choose who you want on your team? Did you choose your family? Did you choose your clients? Regardless if you do or don’t, how do you play with the members of your team?

Everyone on your team has a special gift or talent. If you were going to play a game with them, what ‘game’ would you pick them as your partner? If there was a contest with a great prize for the team who knew the most about country and western singers, my mom would be the first person I would pick to be on my team. That lady knows so much about country and western singers, it blows me away. If there was a contest with a great prize for a physical sport of some kind, my mom would be the very last person I would pick. Does that make my mom not a good team player? Does that make my mom a looser? My mom, like the other players in my life, has amazing gifts and talents. She may not be the best person to compliment another person, but she sure can sew an amazing wedding gown.

Every person in your life right now is on one team or another…maybe even many teams. It may not be your team and it doesn’t matter. What matters is the teams you pick to play on. Are you finding the team that is right for you or are you still trying to play on someone else’s team…someone else’s team that no longer brings out your gifts and talents? Are you playing like a team player and are you calling your own plays? Is your team fun to play with….or are you on that team to win? Every team offers us learning; every player offers us learning….what have you learned from your teams lately?

What you become along the way!

Think of the issues in your life right now. They may involve a painful back, financial strain or they may involve attracting the wrong partner.  Issues where you’ve had coaching, counseling and even family and friends helping you to get through them…and they still seem to be there. Yes, those ones.  How do you feel about the reality that the issue is still there? 

Lately I’ve caught myself saying to my clients, ‘you’re clearing all of this because of the pain in your back (or because of something someone said – whatever it was for them).’ One lady I was working on had pain in her knee.  What I ended up clearing were issues around her children. That happens all the time where someone talks about pain of some kind and the clearing goes off in a totally unexpected direction.  The result is the person feels so much better about the issue and the pain is gone. I started to observe the personal transformation that goes on for my clients when clearing through one or more issues.   

I was gifted a book called, ‘fight for your dreams’ by Les Brown.  He said, “What you become in pursuit of your dream is more important than the accomplishment of your dream.”  A little more reading and he went on to say, “Oddly enough, the most important thing is the person you become while in pursuit of your dream – your character development, your spirituality, courage and faith; the experiences you have along the way, good and bad; and the relationships you develop. All these things come together to create a new you.”  

Well those words made sense to me because when I think of all the clearing I have had myself around money issues or around relationship issues with myself…I know I am a stronger more richer person because of what I have walked through.  You are no different from me. 

When you look down at your sore knees wondering what else you need to do to clear the pain or when you get your credit card statement where you have reached the limit of funds and wonder where your next payment is going to come from…think about the learning and growing you are experiencing as you face another day! What works and what doesn’t work.  What feels right to you?  Whether you clear your life issues through the messenger of the pain in your feet or the messenger called your mom/dad/co-worker, you will be clearing life issues. 

If you have pain on any level in any area of your life, you still have something that you are not at peace with.  What is that for you?  Whenever you have conflict in your life, you can see a reaction through your body in the form of pain, your mind in the form of thoughts and emotions, and your spirit as unrest.  What is being communicated to you through your conflict?  As you come to know what those messages are, the growth happens and you start to experience the perfection in the world around you.  

Can you look back and see the growth because of an issue in your life?  You bet some days you can’t see any growth…I’ve been there.  I still have days like that where I’m clearing feelings hate and anger.  Those days are less and less and in clearing through the hate and anger you do become richer and feel more peaceful inside.  Have you experienced something like that?

Opening Up the Voice Channel

by Amethyst Wyldfyre  (thank you Amethyst for putting your message forward)

Recently we’ve been supported to release multi-dimensionally through the ecliptic energies of the past couple of months. Old karma has been surfaced along with a multitude of past life memories of traumatic experiences. We are being asked at this time to use the bright shining light of our conscious awareness to transform and transmute all of these karmic & past life experiences, freeing our soul parts and bringing them home to rest in the one heart.

Recent client work has included a multitude of trips back to the pool of remembrance. Working with powerful tools assists and facilitates the release of old anger, blame, bitterness, regret, shame and fear from experiences that were in some cases pretty horrific. All of the many ways that humans have been cruel or violent to one another have been surfacing to be looked at and cleared from the luminous field.

In particular there has been a strong calling for clearing at the throat level – Throat chakra issues such as inability to speak, fear of speaking in public, inability to express in any format, speaking in a modulated tone, repressing or editing a truth that wishes to be expressed, fear of writing creating in any way, fear of being seen or noticed while sharing experiences etc. Many of these issues are directly rooted in past life trauma experienced as a result of being persecuted in one or often more previous lifetimes for being a “voice” for Spirit. Crystallized in the energy field I often find nooses, guillotines, hoods, gags, garottes, or clear impressions of the client having been beheaded or having their throat cut or tongue removed.

Healing around the throat is of particular importance to women (although there are definitely men who have these issues too). The silencing of the Sacred Feminine and the suppression of Divine Feminine wisdom is now at an end – unfortunately for many the energy of all that persecution still lives in their energy field and the mere thought of speaking about psychic experiences, sharing messages from Spirit either verbally or in writing, voicing the truth of being one who “receives” guidance is not only terrifying – it’s down right paralyzing. The time for healing these old wounds is here and now. The wealth of women’s wisdom is no longer even able to be suppressed for the Divine Goddess energies are surging through our Planetary matrix and will no longer be silenced.

Now more then ever we need to hear all voices, it is time to let all points of view be heard and be held in the larger vessel of the Global Heart. There is room there for uniqueness, there is room there for individual expression, there is room in that One Heart for all of us to come into harmony and peace with each other and all of our relations. Divine Union is no longer a mystery or an experience reserved only for the elite few who choose to separate themselves from the rest of the world in search of nirvana. Divine Union and by extension H.O.M.E. (Heaven On Mother Earth) now is accessible to all – it is a choice and a reality that is being experienced by more and more of our brethren every single day. The more who choose to embrace their own awakening – to be willing to release and let go of all of the past – the past experiences of this life as well as of all those previous lives – the more we experience a collective raising of the vibration of the entire planetary matrix.

If your soul is calling you now to awaken – if you have already awakened and you feel in need of validation – if you are coming up on your own ghosts of the past and would like a helping hand – please know that there are many now who are here to share their gifts of service. Reach out, get help, allow yourself to receive, allow others to serve as they express their own true calling, take the steps to acknowledge where you are stuck and using that awareness to find out what options are available to you that will boost you out of that stuck place and get you on your way again. When your car goes off the road into a ditch you wouldn’t hesitate to call CAA/AAA – when your life is off track – there’s a CAA/AAA for the soul out there just waiting for your call to spring into action and give you an assist! Make that call today – one day you too will be on the other end of the line, because when you are aligned with your true destiny there is always a component of desiring to be of service to others that is inherent in the journey that deep gratitude that makes you naturally want to give back to the bowl of life.
