How do you know?

What are we growing towards?  Consider this…we are continually growing and we are either growing towards being in a state of non-reaction/peace or towards being in a state of conflict.  How do we know?

When we are bothered about something, there is conflict…it really is that simple.  When we recognize there is conflict, how do we find our way to being at peace with it?  People may say they don’t feel they’re bothered about anything and yet they are going in for surgery next month….or work is suggesting they go for mediation around something…or their spouse is talking about hating their job and they find it hard to listen to the same stuff every day.  Those are examples of people feeling conflict coming from the body mind or spirit.

This past week, Sharon and I facilitated a telecall series on depression.  I had invited my daughter to submit some things that she felt were maybe causing her to feel depressed.  She thought about it and didn’t feel she had any issues so she didn’t submit any.

The very next day after the telecall series was ended…she called me.  She so wonderfully asked me to help her with her kids.  One of them was sick again and she just didn’t know what to do with the kids anymore.  She asked why wouldn’t this sickness stuff stop already?  The whole winter the kids had been sick in some way where they ended up at the doctors for something. As she talked I could just feel how depressed she was in what she was saying.  I asked her if it bothers her to have her kids sick again.  Of course it did!  I shared with her how there was such a depressed feeling there. Once we started talking, it was like a revelation for her and she could feel it.  My daughter was in a place where she didn’t ‘think’ she had any issues and got to a place where her kids were sick again causing her to ‘feel’ hopeless and depressed.

I had talked further to my daughter about what she felt depression was.  She had shared how she couldn’t understand how people could sit in their depression and not do anything about it. I’m not going to share the whole conversation but we did clear around an element of control that she was working with.  One of the things about depression or anything anyone around us is feeling….we can’t change anyone around us but we sure can shift what we feel inside.

I know for myself, I had felt I still had a depression type feeling around money.  I didn’t feel I could create money.  That feeling and more had shifted through the telecall series.  I have been walking through some of my money issues with this India campaign going on right now.  Yes there is conflict and the only way I know how to feel at peace inside is to take the ‘not so great’ feelings and clear whatever is causing them…leaving me in a place of feeling at peace with whatever happens.

Our day to day living brings us life stuff.  When we do anything and feel conflict we can grow towards feeling at peace around whatever is causing us to feel the conflict.  Those causes come from within us and that is where they will be resolved.  Energy clearing is definitely one of those ways to clear conflict.

You don’t need to know all the questions to ask….or even all the answers.  That’s where Sharon and I come in. One of the most important roles for you is to become more and more aware of what you are feeling.  Once you feel something…it’s on its way to being healed.

We are always rewarded for our inner work.

First Thoughts?

January 1st just past and I got to thinking of some ‘firsts’ for me this week…here I go.

We put a new sink in our kitchen.  The sink looks great on our new counter.  The FIRST time I went to do the dishes, I noticed how much more shallow the sink was compared to the sink we took out.  Not only was it shallow…it was rounded at the bottom which means nothing in my sink lays flat now.  Everything I put into the sink moves to the middle center.  It was so different from before.  My FIRST thought was who would make sinks like this?  They obviously don’t do the dishes.  Yes I was mad and very aware of my reaction.  As I was doing the dishes I continued to think – the next thoughts had to do with taking out this new sink and putting in another new sink.  That wasn’t possible at this time.  I then started to think a powerless thought where I was kind of stuck with this sink now.

If I couldn’t change the sink…I worked with the next best thing that gives me peace inside…I could change how I felt about the sink.  I did some energy work on how I was feeling about the sink.

Through that experience, I noticed my reactions…I noticed where I went with my thinking…I noticed a pattern in how I went to a powerless place inside myself.  This was for me, for my learning and growing.  I am more at peace inside myself today when it comes to my sink.

Another FIRST for me this week.  The other day, I was walking at our sportsplex facility.  This facility has an indoor walking track which I have been walking on for a number of days now.  This one day there were some young men walking on the track.  I could tell they weren’t there to exercise because they had their coats on.  They were looking around the facility.  When I saw them, my FIRST thought was ‘look at those guys…don’t they know there are people walking and running on the track?’  Along with my thoughts was the judgment of thinking they must be stupid or something?’ That may sound hard to hear but that was my first thought.

Along came a lady who was running in the lane those young men were walking in.  As she ran around them, the lady so gently said, ‘this is a track for running’.  The young men immediately realized where they were and got off the track.

Where was my learning and growing?  When the lady gently said those words to the young men, I wanted to find that gentle loving place inside of myself.  Where was that judgment coming from?  What was causing me to think those young men were stupid.  It didn’t take me long at all.

The Universe or my Divine so perfectly timed those people in my path for my own inner healing.  I immediately wanted to heal the conflict inside of me.  I asked to resolve this issue within me.  I know there has been a shift inside.  I was sure grateful for that gift of heading into the new year.

The word ‘stupid’ was one of the ‘sore spots’ for me growing up.  I often heard how stupid people were.  Those bothers around that word ‘stupid’ came along with me heading into adulthood.  I can now choose to resolve the effects of that word.    I’m working through situations in my life to help me be at peace around the word stupid.  That word has presented itself many times along my journey…and I will know I am finally at peace with that word when I no longer have a charge or react to it.  It’s getting easier every new day.

Depression in a new light, Part 2!

In part 2 of ‘depression in a new light’, I will talk more about the state of depression…giving you a different ‘light’ on day to day life stuff that can cause someone to feel depressed.

What is the state of depression all about?  Some of the dictionary definitions of depression are…a depressed or sunken place or part; a hollow; a condition of general emotional dejection and withdrawal; sadness greater and more prolonged than that warranted by any objective reason; a mood disorder; the action of lowering something or pressing something down; severe, typically prolonged, feelings of despondency and dejection; self doubt creeps in and that swiftly turns to depression.  One internet site says depression is a complicated mental illness that can take the joy out of once pleasurable things and has a dramatic affect on a person’s life.

When we look at the explanation of depression…it may be safe to say we have felt depressed somewhere in our life.

Like any illness or disease, people just don’t become depressed over night!  The feelings causing someone to feel depressed have been there for a while.

There was an amazing post on facebook the other day, ‘Depression, anxiety and panic attacks are not a sign of weakness. They are a sign of having to stand strong for too long.’  How many people in your life have ‘fought’ the battle too long?  You may be one of them.  People stand so strong – energetically – holding things together – being the strong one….and one day their world falls apart.  Where is the strength or the strong in them at that time?

Medically they say depression has to do with a chemical imbalance in the brain.  That is a ‘physical’ explanation. We aren’t just physical beings.  We have a body mind and a spirit – you can’t function one without the other.  They all work together.  The non-physical part of you is your mind and your spirit which play a huge part in what causes depression.  Your mind has to do with thoughts and emotions; your spirit has to do with being at rest or unrest!  What you are feeling can’t be seen ‘physically’.  You can’t look at your arm and say, ‘oh there is my depression, I’ll just take it off my arm and I’m done with it.’

I’m always talking about how our bodies are messengers for us – giving us messages.  When it comes to depression, the imbalance in the brain, what message is the brain giving the person with depression?

When did the depression start?  What was going on in that person’s life at the time? Let’s look at the different aspects of our day to day life to see where an imbalance can show up.

A person is in a long term marriage or relationship.  All of a sudden the partner leaves unexpectedly!  Would that cause an imbalance in the family dynamics taking the joy out of life?

A person has been dedicated to their job for so long, putting in many hours, leading many teams and all of a sudden they are asked to move on or leave the company.  Would that cause an imbalance where a person would or wouldn’t fit into life now?

People can have imbalances in their finances – lose a house or an investment; imbalance in their relationships – the feelings in their ‘heart’ so to speak; imbalance within themselves – everyone is out to get them or everything falls back on them.  People can have a physical body trauma happen causing an emotional breakdown – for example, breaking a leg and not being able to teach dancing or not getting to exercise for a long period of time.  Would that cause an imbalance?  Any one of these everyday life mishaps can cause someone to become depressed.  Why is it some people do into deep depression and some people don’t?  How is the imbalance serving them?

People move through all kinds of challenges in their life…someone who is depressed is ‘moving through the expression of depression as part of their journey.  In the movement, they will experience ‘healing’ within.

The imbalance may be physically represented in the brain…but the imbalance stems from the imbalance in the MIND!  The mind is very powerful and will put someone at unrest in no time.  There are a number of elements that come into play when it comes to working with a depressed person.  A shift in perception is one of them.

Depressed people don’t get up in the morning and think about how they can be depressed all day.  They are ‘moving through’ whatever this depression is bringing them to deal with.  The depression can bring them isolation…can challenge them on all their belief systems…can close the door on some relationships and open the door on other relationships.  Depression, like other sicknesses, illnesses or pains of some kind can also be used to manipulate others to get what they want.  All of these are examples of the kind of healing that can take place inside of someone.  They are experiencing life through the emotional state of depression.

Sometimes people have to hit ‘rock bottom’ in the moving forward process.  Put another way, they have to let go of the fight and the battle that they have been fighting for so long!  One example of this could be the fight and battle around keeping ‘up their appearances.’ When someone finally can’t keep up the appearance of always being the strong one…it could be pretty hard to let that appearance go. For so long, their feelings could have been buried deep down inside…do we really know what they are feeling?

Now go back to the role we play in a depressed person’s life…ask them ‘how they feel’ about whatever they are saying. When they answer, don’t have any judgement at all. Their feelings are about them and how they feel NOT ABOUT YOU.  Even if they say it’s because of you, don’t ‘buy into it.’  Keep moving the conversation forward asking them questions about what makes them feel the way they feel.  Again, this is about them and how they feel.  They will tend to blame everything around them at first…and that is very normal. That will be their perception of the reality of what they feel has taken place in their life. There are many influences causing people to feel what they feel.  Eventually it will be inside where they find their answers.  That is where the movement with questions can help them to ‘heal through their depression’ and see life in a new light!

Fight Inside!

What is it like to really be at peace with something?  I actually experienced a moment or two of that peaceful feeling the other day.

I’m going through a phase in my life where I want to eat at bedtime.  It started out to be the whole idea of bedtime eating – didn’t matter if it was ‘healthy or non healthy’ type foods.  As I moved through my ‘bothers’ around the bedtime eating, I started to get hung up on eating the not so healthy type foods, like chips.  Like any other bother, I would go inside myself and ‘clear’ whatever was bothering me, leaving me in a more neutral place around the not so healthy foods.  This neutral place opens the door for more clarity.  There would be nights where I would go to sleep without eating at bedtime…and then there would be nights where the chip bag comes out.  I’m sure you could guess what happened to the chips!

After working a few weeks THROUGH that one, I experienced a change.  After one of our telecalls, it was 8pm at night…I walked into the living room wanting to eat something.  In my mind it was going to happen and all I had to do was decide what the food was going to be.  As I stood in the living room, I asked my husband what was the big deal about bedtime eating?  Why did people make such a big deal about eating at bedtime?  His reply was eating at bedtime helped him sleep through the whole night.  To him, he looked at bedtime eating as a help, not a problem.

So many times we’ve spoken of how the ‘fight’ is in not wanting to do something.  I noticed how I was going into this ‘fighting mode’ inside myself about how I shouldn’t be eating at bedtime…blah blah blah.  All of a sudden…and I do mean all of a sudden, the fight inside myself stopped!  To my conscious mind, the fight was gone!  Just before that moment of change, I had accepted that I like to eat at bedtime…accepted that eating then was an issue for me…accepted that it would probably affect my weight.  A peaceful calm feeling came over me immediately.  As I stood there feeling what was going on inside of me…I walked over to the couch and sat down totally at peace.  I didn’t get up again until I went to bed.

I have felt many moments of being at peace when I have ‘cleared my energy’ around what I was feeling.  This was one of the first times I could feel what it was like to MENTALLY let go of the ‘fight.’  I’ve cleared many things around this bedtime eating, all of which have helped me feel more at peace inside.  This feeling I was experiencing actually felt like I had ‘walked through’ the struggle and fight which was coming from the mind.

In the end of my book, I share, “Once you accept you are not bothered or affected by the issue or situation, you have initiated a quick shift in your perception and thinking.”  What a gift it is to experience my truth around what that feels like.

As you have walked through issues on your journey…your may have experienced your truth as being totally different from mine.  Your truth will be your truth.  The Divine works with each one of us so perfectly.  Blessings to you always.

Shift in Perception

It was so great to go outside to our new city garbage bin and find it empty again!  Today was garbage day and like every Wednesday we roll out our bin to the alley and the city comes by to empty it.

You might be thinking what the big deal is.  Well last week when I went to roll our bin back into the yard, there was still garbage left inside.  Has that ever happened to you?  My first thoughts weren’t so pretty.  I had a problem and my problem had to do with ‘the city not emptying our garbage bin.’ Notice the words I used, ‘my problem had to do with the city.’

I started to think of some not so nice things.  The mind can sure make things an issue. I was in the house for a few minutes and thought, ‘I’m going to phone the city.’  I got through on the phone in no time and talked to the most wonderful lady I could have asked for.  She had a supervisor out to my house within 5 minutes and I’m not exaggerating.  I hung up the phone from talking with her, had my garbage bin rolled back out into the alley and the supervisor was already there.

I could feel the supervisor was expecting conflict of some kind. Was he picking up on my reactions?  He looked in the bin and saw we had a box lying sideways, along with some loose garbage.  He explained that all the garbage was supposed to be packaged in bags, not boxes. He went on to explain when the garbage truck comes along, the arm of the truck grabs the bins. What may have happened when the arm of the truck grabbed the bin, it could have squeezed the bin right at the place where the box was sitting causing the box to block the garbage underneath.

In our conversation, I could feel the shift in my perception!  I said to the supervisor, ‘we are all learning, aren’t we.’  The energy of that supervisor changed instantly reflecting back the change in me!  He ‘softened’ immediately, if I could use that word.  That supervisor was an amazing messenger for me.  My problem wasn’t the city workers or my garbage bin…there wasn’t a problem!  What was there was a wonderful learning experience for me.

When things don’t go so well for us…or if we have problems, what do we do with them?  How do we go about bringing resolution?  Can we see those challenging people, things and situations in a way that supports us on our journey?  Can we see conflict as a learning opportunity?  Can we go inside and find out how we feel about whatever is going on around us?

As we see the Universe so perfectly aligning everything for our learning and growing…we come to find peace within.

Aligning Perfectly!

Every day I see the unfolding of perfection!  All of the situations in my life are being created for my own inner healing. Can you see how everything in your life is aligning perfectly for your own inner healing?

You bet there are times when things don’t feel so great, like maybe losing a friend or you don’t have enough money to pay your bills this month…and then there are times where you wonder how things come together so perfectly – almost effortless.  Allow me to share this example of what I’ve experienced and how it may open the door for insights into what may be taking place for you.

Sharon and I did our live radio show on blogtalkradio the other day.  We had a few minutes before the show and Sharon was telling me about her drive home from out of town, the night before. She was concerned about driving on the highway, in the dark, while it was raining. Sure enough just out of the city she was leaving, there was a coyote standing in the middle of the road.  She hit her brakes and the coyote managed to move off the highway without any problems.  She said in that moment she got to pay attention because there was 2 hours ahead of her…wake up!

We were chatting a little bit about how we ask the divine for help driving at night. I asked Sharon what was her message with the coyote?  She commented that she had to look in the book to see what the message is for coyotes.  I said, ‘what if your message was as simple as, ‘pay attention because there was 2 hours ahead of you…wake up!’  In that moment I was very aware that there was learning for both of us.

Sharon started to see how easy it is to give our power, our own inner knowing over to others, doesn’t matter who it is.  For her, she got her message and was very aware of what it meant to her.  I came along and in asking her, it brought up something for her about looking outside of her to see how she is wrong.  There was so much healing for her – and yes….all of this before the radio show even started.

Now what does that have to do with me?  Through being with Sharon that morning, I could see how there are times when I do the same.  Sharon was a perfect messenger for me – not only to see how I need to look inside for my own insights…but also for me to appreciate and accept that in others. On my journey, that is something I’m learning and growing through.  Life is a process and I’m so grateful to have someone like Sharon to learn with.

Are you in a place where you are resolving issues around controlling or accepting and allowing? The most important part is being AWARE.  When you are aware that you are controlling others, just acknowledge that because it is in that moment where you start to see how your habits and patterns come to life.  From there…the healing takes place.

If I could also add, just because someone says something, does not make it a global truth for every single person on the planet.  Be with what feels right for you.

Minding the Mind!

Can you be fully present when you do something?  May sound like an odd question…

This past week seemed to be a vehicle cleaning week…must be in the air.  After I vacuumed out the car, I decided to vacuum out the truck.  Little did I know the lesson I was in for!

As I started to vacuum…my mind started to bring up thoughts around cleaning.  It played the same thoughts over and over.  My mind took me out of the now moment and reminded me about the last time I cleaned the truck. It was spotless…or so I wanted to believe.   It was about a week before my husband took the truck hunting with a number of hunting buddies. At the time, I wasn’t aware he intended on taking the truck.  After being in the bush for a number of days, the truck came back looking not so clean.

When I had first started to vacuum, I wasn’t even thinking about the last hunting trip.  In no time, there I was…thoughts started to run through my head about all the work I did for nothing….about not getting to enjoy my cleaning efforts…about how no one will even appreciate having a clean truck.  The thoughts didn’t stop there.  My mind continued to tell me that I was the only one who cared about keeping the truck clean.  How is that for the power of the mind?  Was I in the now moment of being with what I was doing?

Have you ever experienced that?  Have you ever experienced being in a great space where you are feeling the joy of doing something and by the time you are done you wished your mind would  stop already?

The mind can take a perfectly peaceful joyful moment and toss you out of that moment feeling bothered and agitated.  That can happen so many times in a day.  The interesting thing about the mind is most of the time we aren’t even consciously aware of what is taking place.

It was in those first few minutes of vacuuming the truck that I realized first hand what was truly going on!  After about the fifth time of hearing those repeated thoughts, I said to my Divine, ‘I ask You to silence the mind.’  In no time my mind had become quiet and I once again experienced the joy of what I was doing in the moment.

You will know your mind is at work when you start thinking about justifying and exaggerating.  I knew it was my mind speaking when I started to think that I was the only one who cared about keeping the truck clean.  That is not a truth.  Words like ‘everyone is doing….and all the people….no one else…’ are signs that the mind is causing discord.

As you go about your day, when the mind starts to ‘take over’ in a not so wonderful way, I invite you to talk to your Divine…whatever that may be for you…and ask for assistance in quieting the mind.  Then feel the difference as peace takes over.

Needing to Eliminate?

I sit here again another day with this hunger feeling.  I eat plenty but even 15 minutes after I eat a big meal, I am hungry again.  After noticing what is going on for several days now, I know for a fact, it isn’t because I am hungry.  And what else is different this time for me is it’s not in my tummy area where I usually feel the hunger pangs, but in my colon area.  So what is it?  Interesting and when I think about it, when I am hunger, I go and eat something but when my colon is hungry how do I feed it?  I never thought of feeding my colon.  I think of feeding my body, myself, but feeding specifically my colon?  Is that not feeding my body?  Is that not part of my body?

As far as I can remember, I have struggled with my colon and elimination.  I always felt I had to take something to make me go, to have a bowel movement.  I didn’t ever think the colon wasn’t getting fed because according to me, it always had too much in it as it wasn’t eliminating what was already in there.  For a long time, I have not trusted that my colon can work on its own.  According to me, it always needed help to eliminate the waste let alone now think of feeding it some more.  What is my hunger telling me?

Well, when I look at the message my colon is telling me, on a non-physical level, I have for a long time, deep down inside, felt like I couldn’t go life alone.  I never had to.  It seemed like every time things got ‘hard’, I always had someone there to help me through the tough times.  I wasn’t conscious of it before.  It just happened.  So for a long time, my body was trying to tell me to just trust that along the way, it will work itself out.

Feeding my colon, what do I feed my colon?  Well the body feeds the colon the waste it doesn’t need.  All what is not being used by the body, is dumped into the colon to be eliminated.  I didn’t think I had to worry about that.  So when that comes up and the elimination stops, what is the colon trying to tell me?
That brings to mind a story of a young lad who goes to an old sage and wants to learn his wisdom.  As the sage shares his wisdom with the young lad, he notices that every time he would tell the young lad something, the young lad would say “Yes, I know”.   He would share something else and the young lad again would say “Yes, I know.”  So the sage suggested they stop for a tea.  He makes the tea and starts pouring it into the young lad’s cup.  As he kept pouring, it soon started to run over and spill onto the table.  The young lad yelled “stop” but the sage just kept pouring.  When he finally quit pouring the tea, the young lad looked at the sage and asked “Why did you not stop when I asked you to?  The sage with all his wisdom shared “It is just like you with learning,  you can’t keep putting new information in when you haven’t emptied out the old or what you no longer need”.
Where did my elimination system get blocked?  It certainly appears to be on a physical level but what about how the non-physical level is affecting me.  The mental level, my thoughts that come in the form of belief systems, where did I stop eliminating what no longer feeds me or wastes my time?  What am I scared to eliminate that no longer feels right for me?  The body knows what to eliminate from the body, but do we know what to eliminate from our thoughts.  How do we recognize what is right for us and what to eliminate on any level?  The answers are found in the charges that come up along the way in our day to day life.  Once we are aware of the question, our answers will come at the perfect time for us like they have for me.

I know that when I clear those blocks, my colon will right itself.  It isn’t my job to tell the body what to do.  The body is a miracle machine and works perfectly on its own.  I just have to get out of the way and ‘eliminate’ the need to have to direct the colon by telling it when it should or should not go.  I just have to trust that the body will do its job.
How has your elimination systems working for you.

Harmony in relationships begins where?

Thank you to my most amazing husband for the gift he blessed me with!  Allow me to share this everyday life experience with you.

Yesterday, the Universe decided to give me a learning and growing opportunity to walk through.  As always, I timed supper so it would be cooked by the time my husband got home from work. Supper was done but there was no husband.  It’s not unusual for him to arrive a few minutes late, but this was getting on to 15, 20 minutes and more. I thought while I was waiting I would sweep and wash the hardwood floor in the living room.

As I was washing the floor, thoughts were running through my head about what my husband could be doing…where he was and why he hadn’t even tried to phone me to let me know he was going to be late.  I knew he had talked to a gentleman about helping him for a bit, but I’m thinking that couldn’t have taken too long.  I kept saying to myself, ‘I’m not going to be bothered about this…I’m not going to react to whatever this is.’  I would let it go.  He still wasn’t home.

Still trying to amuse myself, I thought maybe I could see what’s up on facebook…that can eat up a lot of time having fun with friends.  Off I went to post a funny thought I had and back to the kitchen I went.  Please know by now this had been almost an hour from his expected arrival and in that time period I had many thoughts of getting annoyed or being mad and many times I talked myself out of not reacting!

I was very aware of MY THOUGHTS and MY FEELINGS!  I was very aware of what was taking place in me all the while my husband wasn’t home.  When I started to feel annoyed about him not calling, I kept saying to myself, ‘there is nothing to react to; I’m not going to react.’  All of a sudden…and I mean all of a sudden, after 1 and ½ hours later…it came to me!!!

My husband was at the doctor’s office!  He had made such a point of letting me know this the night before and then he called me again at lunch time that day.  He went out of his way to let me know he would be late for supper.  As soon as that realization came to me, my husband called within minutes.  The first words out of my mouth were, ‘how come I’m the luckiest woman in the world to have you?’  He lovingly let me know he was on his way home.

How do our reactions affect our rational logic, reasoning and intuition? If I would have reacted by getting mad thinking he was being inconsiderate – freaking out all over him when he called me, it could have created a not so great feeling in our relationship. By working with my reactions, I was able to stay in a peaceful loving state.

When we are in a state of non-reaction, a peaceful calm state, we can flow with what is. We are open to allowing information to come to us instead of clouding that information over with reaction type stuff from the mind.  I’ve referred to this by saying, ‘when we clear our reactions, it’s like the fog lifts and we see with clarity.’

Looking at this from both sides…from the side of my husband – he did everything he needed to do to let me know he would be late. He then went about his day doing what he needed to do.  From my side – I was aware of my reactions and in walking through them, I stayed in a place of not being bothered.  My intuition brought me the information I needed to know.  Did I have thoughts of him getting into an accident and not being able to phone…you bet I did.  Did I have thoughts about getting mad at him and not eating with him…you bet I did.  All the thoughts I had were just that….thoughts.  I didn’t give them power and I didn’t make them right or wrong.  My husband showed up happy as ever, totally oblivious to the process I had gone through.

I highlighted above being aware of my thoughts and my feelings because my journey is about me and how I feel, just like your journey is about you and how you feel. I am responsible to be aware of my feelings and how they affect me.  I allowed my feelings to come up and I also allowed them to leave without moving me into a not so great place.  I knew the whole time it was about me and wasn’t about my husband and what I perceived he was doing. He was the perfect messenger for me.  A messenger that offers me much greatness.   It was an amazing experience; one that ended in much self love.

Have you ever experienced that yourself?

Nope, no problems here!

This story keeps coming to my mind so it must be time to share it.

Last year while we were visiting Jimmy’s mom in the hospital, a nurse came into the room.  Jimmy got talking to her about hunting.  In no time this nurse started to talk about how her boyfriend hunts so much in the year using a rifle and now wants to get a bow and arrow to hunt even more.  She continued to talk about all the hunting things he was doing getting louder and more agitated as she talked.  After a bit I said to her, ‘are you aware that bothers you?’ She so quickly replied, ‘I’m not bothered; I just think he is hunting too much.’

How many people in our lives rant and rave about things that are a huge issue and aren’t even aware there is a problem?  I was one of them! Before I learned about how my reactions changed when I used energy clearing, I was one of those people who didn’t think I had issues.  Oh how I have learned.

How do we know we have a problem?  The Universe is so perfect about helping us to know.  We know we have conflict when we are really bothered about something.  We can feel the intensity when we talk about our problem to friends or family.  ‘They did this… they are doing that…I can’t believe he keeps saying that…she never hears me when…’ and the story goes on.  It’s like we get ‘all worked up’ about it.  Have you ever experienced that?

Every time we share our stories with intensity and emotions…we are feeding the energy of that story.  If we say, ‘I just hate when they do that,’ the feeling of hate goes into the story.  Every time we talk about a body part with ‘not great energy’, we are sending that not great energy to our body part. If we say, ‘I hate what my butt looks like…grrrrr,’ where do you feel that energy goes?  Over time we will start to feel that ‘not great energy’ in the form of pain of some kind.  It would be like the body saying it’s time to deal with your stuff.

Do the things in our life have to get to the place where they cause us pain?  Maybe and maybe not.  The Universe is so perfect in giving us the messages we need to hear to help us move along on our journey.  Our journey is for us…our learning and growing.
