Insightful Inspirations

Have you ever reacted to something someone said or did and justified it with “well if it was just his one thing, I wouldn’t care, but there is this and this and this”? Then you list out all of things that have ever happen with this person that relates to this situation that is happening now. This is a big sign your energy drain is clogged! You are carrying that past around with you and not letting it go. The next time something goes there in that same energetic pattern, be it that person, that situation, etc., it catches on that clog and adds to it, instead of washing through. It piles up on you and pretty soon you are reacting to things that are happening now based on something that is already over and done.

How do you just let go of all of this?

Awareness is the biggest gift of all and you are giving that awareness to yourself every time the past comes up.  Notice the entire story that is coming out here. Notice the things you could list in relation to this issue. These are all the issues that want to be healed right now! Bring them up. Look at them with fresh eyes and all that you have learned since that happened. Sink into the past feelings that want to clear out now and let them have permission. Then notice how that shifts everything.

Insightful Inspiration of the week

Find an issue that has been piling up on you. Someone or something that brings up the past every time you encounter it. Spend some time with what comes up. Really noticing it, feeling it, having the wisdom of it. This is your chance to heal your past! It is really that simple. Give it a try. This isn’t going to solve all you past traumas at once… but it is so much better than adding to the plug.

Sometimes I find that we have trouble being decisive. People often call me to help them make a decision. I try to careful not to tell them what to do or how to do it… that is their choice to make. But walking that line of giving enough information that might help them tap into their own clarity better and make decisions with confidence and ease. Decisions seem to be a constant dilemma we all deal with in our lives.

Making decisions isn’t always easy, but my guides are always telling me that we give it too much credit. We are just choosing what experience we would like to have, nothing more. Why do we fret over things as if they are life or death then? Our egos! Making a decision and moving forward with it without looking back or regretting it later is a huge gift you can give yourself. It helps you be present rather than always looking into the past and future about what you did or didn’t do right or wrong.

Insightful Inspiration for the week

Work on being decisive this week. Make decisions and move forward with them. Notice when you are judging yourself about them or trying to control the outcome of them. See if you can let that go. If not, ask yourself why you are getting hung up there. What are you really afraid of? What do you need to make you feel okay with this decision? How can you give that to yourself? As doubt and fears come up, notice. This is your key to the things blocking you from what you want. Work with it with love and see how this shifts your energy. As always, I encourage you to share your ideas on this with me and others on my facebook page.  

What do you need? Have you ever really asked yourself that? Not what do you WANT, but what do you NEED?

This can be a very profound exercise. If you sit down and write down what you need to survive, your goals might shift, your fears might change, you might be able to live a life that is free.

Think about this… not just food and water. But could you survive without your house? You car? How about love? Connections with friends and family? How about your accomplishments? What if you never “accomplished” another thing? How would you feel?

You might start to notice that what you fear of loosing (i.e. your house, your spouse, your life…) All is really a deeper fear of loosing something more.

For example, lets drill down on something as an example. Let’s say you are afraid of loosing your job. (normal fear in a day like today) Why are you really afraid of loosing your job. Drill down… Are you afraid of loosing your house? What would happen when you lost your house or your material things? What would happen if you lost those things? Maybe you are afraid your family will loose security. So the real issue is you are afraid to loose your job because you are afraid to loose your security. Take that a step further and ask yourself, does your job really make you safe? Not if you are afraid of loosing it.

So just take a moment and think about what you really need. Ask yourself the question twice. Do I REALLY NEED this or do I just want it? It is okay to just want something, but when you take the NEED part out, it gives it more freedom. More room to grow, rather than having you hold on to it so tight you won’t let it do anything. Freedom comes when we are no longer afraid of loosing those things that we THINK we need and realize that we always have what we need and always will. Then look at all the great stuff we WANT to have, that we do have! This is a place of gratitude, but also a place of letting go.

What do you think? Share some of your needs?

I need love. I know that is the one thing I can not live without. Love from friends, family and life.

I send that love out to all of you and hope you will comment.

Have you ever noticed how much time you spend trying to convince someone of something you believe in?  For example, your political views or perhaps you describe in detail how you came to a big decision. Maybe you are trying to explain to someone how you are doing “well” or spend time describing how something came about for the “better”. Maybe you are just telling someone how they could lead a better life by allowing themselves to shine from underneath their self consciousness. 
It is as if we are trying to convince someone else of what we think, so they can turn around and confirm it for us. If they can’t confirm it for us, we continue to struggle to explain, convince, describe, etc. in order to get them to see our way. Why can’t we just be confident enough in ourselves not to have to explain our actions or describe our decision making process?

This goes beyond just trying to get someone to believe in what you do. Have you ever gone around telling everyone how “fine” you are despite something major happening to you? For example, if you lost your job and you tell everyone around you it is for the best, it will work out in the end, or you are excited for the new opportunities. Maybe you had a miscarriage and you tell people you can try again, or it wasn’t meant to be. It is as if we are talking to ourselves too. Trying to convince ourselves that what we are saying IS what we believe or better yet, that if we tell the person in front of us, they will mirror back what we need (that they agree we will be better off, etc.) and that will in turn make us feel better. 

My inspiration for you this week is to notice where you are telling others things, you too, need to hear. Then try and tell yourself them more often. If you find yourself telling someone else who lost their job it is for the better, also notice where you might need that same reality (even if you still have a job and are just nervous you will loose it). If you find yourself telling someone to be themselves and not worry about what other people think… tell yourself that too. Our world is a reflection of ourselves and if we take notice, we can create a very healing experience that brings us back to being who we were meant to be.
Have fun seeing your reflection!
