How do I progress?

Things progress......

Once we have accepted and chosen to love ourselves, we prove it to ourselves daily by making healthy, loving choices for ourselves.
We look at different ways in which we can heal the beliefs, pains etc in our own world. We start by being brutally honest with ourselves, by looking deep within ourselves. Sometimes doing this may be difficult but we need not do any of this alone. There are many trained and talented people out there that can help us.

Once we step on this journey, many doors open and many people and things enter our lives. The key is to stay open. To do so means to look deeper at things, without any preconceived ideas.
There are many different healing modalities and healthy things we can do for ourselves to assist in our healing. It has become very important for us to heal our emotional wounds and to examine the thoughts and beliefs that limit us or blocks us from moving into the abundant life we deserve.
If we feel we do not deserve good things or that life is hard and we are meant to suffer or struggle in any way, then we have a lot of self healing and searching to do, to discover where those belief systems stem from and how they serve us now.

Energy medicine is becoming more mainstream and there is a lot of research on how, what we think and believe affects our physical being and in turn our health. Energy medicine is a valuable tool in moving us through old patterns and for helping us love ourselves. If this is what you may need, the tool you may need, stay open to it.
Take responsibility for yourself, your health and your life. Realize that you may be in the exact position that you are in because of what your predominant thoughts and beliefs are and have been. You may be sick or alone or unemployed because of you, because of what you did or didn't do to help yourself get there. Once you take full responsibility for your life you have the power to change it and there will be many people and opportunities along the way to help you do so.
It is time for you to embrace all possibilities, to stay open to exactly what tools, healing and or people you might need to heal your life on every level.

Where do we start??

Love is the place to start.....

" love is something you and I must have. We must have it because our spirit feeds upon it. We must have it because without it we become weak and faint. Without love
our self esteem weakens. Without it our courage fails. Without love we can no longer
look confidently at the world. We turn inward and begin to feed upon our own
personalities, and little by little we destroy it ourselves.
With it we are creative. With it we march tirelessly. With it, and with it alone, we are
to sacrifice for others." - Chief Dan George

Love is an energy of the highest frequency and we, as energy beings, must embrace it within ourselves to enrich and enliven our lives and the lives of others. Our Soul duty in this life is to love ourselves unconditionally and therefore to vibrate at the highest frequency possible.
We are not talking about an egotistical love here but a deep appreciation of self with all its intricacies, loving even the darker side of our psyche. Love for self of this nature raises our vibrations and that of the things and people we attract. It also helps raise the vibration of all we come in contact with. It helps us to see others through love and to live without judgement, for how we treat ourselves is how we treat the world and others around us. It brings the freedom of allowing all to be as it is. It enables a life filled with laughter, abundance and appreciation. A life filled with gratitude and therefore more things to be grateful for.

This intent of remembering, or for some learning to love ourselves, places us on a whole new journey of self discovery. We may realize all the baggage and false belief systems we have acquired and are still holding on to. Through this love and vibration we see that we no longer need to carry these things and we get to choose the very best for ourselves. This love vibrates out from us and brings with it many opportunities and people to assist us in vibrating even higher and opening our hearts even wider to ourselves. We then acknowledge that the people and situations we attract are mirrors for us along our journey and we accept these gifts with gratitude.

Start your day by looking in the mirror and saying to that beautiful reflection that you love him/her and really feel it and mean it and watch it start to enrich your life and the lives of others.

I wish you enough....

So I got this in an email ages ago and then again a few days ago and every time I've seen it, I've loved it and now I wish to put it here.....and to wish you enough....

"......I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.

I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye"

I will be still and steady...

If like a cherokee warrior, I can look at the new year as an opportunity to stand on new ground,
then strength and courage are on my side. I will remember that things do work out, bodies do heal, relationships mend - not because I said it, but

because I believe it.

But it is time to make things right, to stay on the path. As water runs fresh and free from the woodland spring, so new life and meaning will bubble up from my own inner source. I will be still and steady, because there is nothing to be gained by showing fear in a chaotic world.

-Joyce Sequichie Hifler

Energy flows where attention goes....

I have no doubt that many have heard this phrase before and there are times that it causes a light bulb to ignite in my mind.

I was lying in the bath and thinking about the many things that I have been shifting and healing recently. I have been working on some ancesteral wounds and I thought about my relationship with my mother, and I remembered something on relationships I had learned awhile ago. In relationships, what we focus on is what we attract more of.
In my past marraige I practiced this theory and it was true, if I focused on what it is that I loved about my partner it seemed to attract more of that and when I focused on what pissed me off it attracted more of that behaviour. What I focused on changed my energy from either love to annoyance or worse...we attract what we focus on. Attention is just another word for focus.

In the tub I also realised that recently I had been focusing on the wounds that I had carried for the females in my family and not the gifts that these wounds brought. I initially thought that I had to get rid of the energy of these wounds but through the guidance of a wonderful healer and woman, I remembered that energy can not be destroyed only transformed. In my opinion, how we transform energy is by the focus we apply on that energy. The way I healed and continue heal wounds is by changing me perception of them. I came to realise that I must see the gift in them and to do that I looked at what I loved about myself and what I love about my mother and where those qualities came from. The wonderful qualities I loved about myself were a result of the wounds I have carried...therein the gift of the wound.

Focusing on the gifts changes its energy and heals the wound.....

ENERGY FLOWS WHERE ATTENTION GOES

We are all connected

There are many belief systems out there and I am going to add one more.

I believe that organised religion sometimes fails to let us know that we are all connected and rather insists on teaching us fear and this fear feeds our seperation.
There are two options of feelings that we can choose. One is love and one is fear.

Fear incompasses all the lower vibrational feelings...lack, hatred, shame, greed, envy etc.
Love encompasses all the good feelings...joy, laughter, abundance, happiness etc.

When we realise that we are all connected we realize when we hurt or hate we affect everything and everyone. Mother Earth needs to purge herself of this energy and then it rains or the earth shifts or erupts or floods. As we all lift our vibrations and heal our hurts we lift the vibrations of the planet and help others to find their healing. We can change the world by changing ours a little everyday. All we need to do is start being the change. When we chose a higher purpose for ourselves we move energy in that direction that affects all of us.

If we all globally felt the same deep love at the same time we will create miracles. We have to start believing that we are the creators on this planet and if we do not like what we see then it is our duty to start looking deep inside and ask why! Why have I co-created this and how can I change this within me to assist in the outer reflection.

When we start believing we are beautiful and loving and loved we can start creating more beauty and love. It can be uncomfortable to discover who you really are and what thoughts and beliefs create your world around you but when you move through the discomfort the peace and clarity on the other side is inspirational. I move in and out of discovery more than I would like sometimes but because of it I like who I am and who I am becoming.....Actually I believe I am remembering more of who I truly am through the discomfort of discovery.

I am moving closer to love everyday and because of it I cannot help but wish to share the love and help others discover it for themselves. This is what happens when you realize we are all connected and the bottom line of that thread the core of it, if you will, is love.

I may be running the risk of sounding like a new age weirdo......what the hell.....if thats the hat that spreads the message of love and change, I accept and thanks!! LOOK at yourself and ask frequently, How am I feeling now.....this will let you know what your predominant thoughts are and whether you choose love or fear. Do your thoughts and feelings lift you up or bring you down??? Once you start paying attention you stay present and once you are present you can change the thoughts and feelings and shift your reality to a differnet vibration. Hopefully to a higher vibration.

I said all that to say this....again... we are all connected and we all affect the energy around us with our energy! There is loads of science out there now to back this up!! YOU CAN BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THIS WORLD.......it is not to late!

More words of wisdom..
