Know true joy through true sorrow.

Aug 04

MasonDoesn’t it seem like every inspirational, amazing person out there has a sad story to tell about their past? People like Oprah and Louise Hay have these amazing, struggles from the bottom to the top, stories to tell. It seems like you have to come upon hard times in order to truly be an amazing person. Go figure!

I am not saying everyone has to suffer to be good or amazing. But it is difficult to know yourself if you haven’t experienced the spectrum of life.  You have to test yourself on these levels to truely know yourself! See the article I just wrote on testing your “good and “bad“.

As the a spiritual person, I am often seeking to be higher vibrating, more open, and a better, lighter person. But in doing so, I can not deny myself the opposites of those things on some level. I can not pretend they don’t exist in my world, because they do. Rather than ignore them or reject those “bad” things, I choose to learn from them, experience them if I must and allow it to teach me to go higher. It is that concept of  knowing true joy through true sorrow.

Insightful Inspiration of the week

Test yourself on something you would label “bad”. Perhaps it is an emotion, like anger. Perhaps it is an idea about how much money you “need” vs. what you can’t live without. Just dig in on a topic you have put on one side of the spectrum and believe you must at all costs not cross. What would happen if you did cross it? What are you telling yourself about this? Can you let that belief go a little bit? Remove the resistance to that opposite end, maybe even experience a version of it.

This is an awesome time in your life to rise higher, meet new challenges and be even more authentic than you are today. But you can’t do it without exploring all sides of the situation first. Have fun with it. Push yourself and be that next level of YOU.

Have an awesome week. As always comments are welcome or start a discussion with me on Facebook.

Chakra Communication – First Chakra and Seventh Chakra

Jul 02
2009

Again, if you aren’t familiar with Chakra’s review the post on first and seventh chakra’s first. There are more on communcation of the chakras in past blogs as well.

Grand CanyonThe communication between the seventh and first chakra can be a very powerful one. This is our connection with ourselves as part of a whole. A whole what? A whole universe, consiousness, community, planet, you name it, you are part of more than youself, yet you are alone in your experiences as no one sees it the way you do.

This communication can be a powerful force in helping you understand who you are in a complete and balanced picture. It can give you the strength for follow all of your energy centers forward, because you trust yourself to be safe in the infinate power that is all of us. Neverending and always changing.

When this communication is blocked you feel victimized by the world. You feel disconnected from yourself as it relates to the rest of the world, you feel isolated, lost and sometimes completely depressed.  When I read for people and this communication is blocked (which it often is one of the most blocked spaces) the person generally lacks enthusiasm to keep going. They don’t know which direction to head and sometimes they are downright afraid to try.

You might feel like you don’t belong here, that you are a stranger on this planet. You may have a “get them, before they get you” attitude. You might feel competition and insecurity around people who seem “better” than you. Bottom line is, you feel threatened by how separate you feel from the rest of the world.

Insightful Inspriation of the week

Notice where you are blocking yourself to the wisdom that is yours to have with the divine guidance of all that you are part of. Do you feel competitive and protective of your ideas? Do you feel like you have to get ahead before someone else does or there won’t be room for both of you? Rest in the knowing that when we are in alignment with giving our gifts to the world, it is our unique gift to give and no one else has this to offer. They may do it similar to you, but it isn’t the same, and those that need your gift will receive it and you will receive you rewards for sharing that gift. There is plenty to go around of what we all want, because none of us want exactly the same thing.  This week, share your self authentically and openly, without fear that someone will take advantage of it, or abuse it. Give without expecation of receiving and allow things to unfold as they will.

Do you feel alone and as if no one understands you? No one does understand you completely. No one sees the world though your eyes. Your perception is made up of a complex matrix of your personality, experiences, concepts of the world and soul purpose. You are not meant to be understood fully, as you are unique and divine in your difference. Embrace the safety of knowing no one knows anyone on this dimension completely. No one is understood fully, yet there is nothing to understand. Let go of the need to convince others that your perception is accurate. It is… and so is everyone else’s no matter how different it is from yours.

This weeek, just feel safe to be who you are and have peace in knowing who you are as one individual and one as a collective.

As always, I encourage you to comment and discuss!

May your foundation be based in authenticity and peace.
