Quote of the Week

“Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, some day far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”

Rainer Maria Rilke

Change

Hello to Each One of You,

Happy Official Spring!

“The Universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it” Marcus Aurelius Antoinius

Change is always in motion and yet we are not always used to it or comfortable with it. It is the one guaranteed event that we are aware of and even then it can take us by surprise. The question would then be; how do we keep our equilibrium with the mass changes we are experiencing and come to the realization that we are creating them ourselves!

I have had the question posed recently that if this is what I am experiencing is this not reality? The answer is yes and you are creating that reality through your thought process. We will pulse thoughts throughout the day and often we are not even conscious of those thoughts as we have been playing them for years and now we are no longer sensitized to them. It is like watching a movie over and over where it doesn’t hold your attention because you are so familiar with it.

These thoughts we are pulsing are creating an electric energy going out into the world and that energy sent out is also attracting like energy and bringing this back to us in the form of experiences. Depending on the frequency of the thoughts meaning the magnetic impulse of the thought and the frequency as in how often together with the emotions attached to the thoughts will bring the energetic reaction back to us in a more powerful way. For example if I am pulsing thoughts of not enough abundance and a powerful emotion of fear is attached to that thought and I am repeating it constantly I can quickly bring about the experience “reality” of “not enough” in my life. This is how our thoughts create our reality.

If this is true why then do we hold an intention and often times that which we are holding does not come to fruition? The power of intention is based on complete alignment of mind, body, soul connected state to create experience. If we are choosing to experience abundance in monetary form yet our background might be many experiences of lack then we might begin to have the emotion of fear around lack which can then block the manifestation of abundance in the form of money. Looking more closely into the emotions that might be underlying the thought in the intention is key to moving into that experience which might be a new one. If we have emotional barriers to this new experience these barriers need to be released in order to allow ourselves the experience in our “reality”.

The next issue is our understanding of our reality itself. Often people ask if this is what I feel is this not the truth of what is happening? Again the answer is yes and we can see that in this massive change we are going through globally why are some people experiencing tremendous fear and loss and others are experiencing a level of expansion and feeling possibilities even while these changes are occurring.

The answer is that our judgment around what is happening is also affecting our experience. Again back to the issue and quality of our thoughts. If we are perceiving these changes on a global level to be precarious and life threatening as is appears on the news we will be feeling FEAR and the creation of our days will begin from that level. If we are choosing from a level of emotional fear we are not always choosing from our highest level we are choosing from a more contracted state and this will lead to lower level decisions. I have chosen to not watch the news as it has altered tremendously from when I was a child and it was called “straight news” and has now altered into mostly opinion from many people not educated in making these opinions.

As a culture we have become interested and often obsessed with the negative, from fright movies to gore to horror and in that fascination we become addicted to news watching it off and on all day. This is planting some very fear based thoughts into our minds which will feed from this input for days. This leads to sleeplessness, thoughts of fear of lack of abundance even for people who might not be experiencing any lack in their own lives but are now pulsing thoughts about someday soon not having enough!

This is how powerful our thoughts are and how we can lead into judging our experience and then finding it hard to work our way into creating different experiences that might correspond more closely to our intention.

So how do we work our way out of the fear thought process and alter our outer reality? The answer is to cleanse the thought process and release the old negative emotions that block and clog our choice of intention. There are two methods that work powerfully to alter our outer reality by altering our inner quality of experience. Breath Work allows us to break free from the incessant chatter of the mind and have the experience of peace of mind, body and soul.

When our consciousness is altered to this degree we are no longer held hostage by crazy thoughts nor identifying so much with the 1000 or so thoughts a day we might have. We experience freedom that we usually only hear about and imagine. We are in a state of awareness as to receive the answers to questions we may have been asking. These answers have always been within our being and yet without freedom from the overactive mind we cannot always hear the answers that are within. We get to process emotions from the physical body which can sponsor illness and mental turmoil and let go of the past which can have a powerful hold over us.

EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique is another powerful tool to immediately release negative emotions around past experiences and traumas that might bubble up for us at unexpected moments and take us out of our daily life experience thought doubt, fear and worry. EFT releases these emotions and allows us to see the past with equanimity and without pain. When we can see the past calmly we are no longer hostage to the past. We are then able to be fully present and create from that place of joy, and peace which is powerful and key to attracting the experiences we are choosing!

Meditation is another powerful tool to create life from the inside out with consciousness. Over the years as my own practice has grown, I have noticed my ability to choose my response rather than be in instant reaction, has grown. While I still have buttons that get pushed I am able to go inside for direction and still choose the action that love sponsors through meditation rather than reacting from fear. The practice of meditation allows us to feel and be filled with the love that alters our being. Being filled with the love and the peace allows us to respond versus react when things occur. Responding instead of reacting will alter any situation quickly and positively when we are choosing the most loving action.

If we rely on our minds only for guidance we can be turning circles in possibilities of reaction and vying for an outcome. When we come from that loving place the outcome is already within us. We remember we are loved and we are safe and once again everything is calm. Meditation helps us to live from this state and alters our “reality” instantly!

Come breathe and alter your state of consciousness allowing you to create health in your mind, body and soul! Classes are every Monday and Friday evenings at 6:30 to 8:30, your will find you release tension stress, old emotional baggage and alter your body’s physical state of health just by breathing in a different pattern!

Happy March 2009

Happy March! Spring is almost here!

March 2, 2009

Hello to Each One of You,

“Sometimes even to live is an act of courage” Lucius Annaeus Seneca

It does take courage to be here. It takes courage to be in relationship and risk it all to be loved. We think we are risking that the other in the relationship may not love us at some point but alas it is our own love that is more elusive! We risk it all to know ourselves in relationship because as much as we think it is about the other person and what they do, it is really about us and our response versus reaction to who they were. No matter where we go there is no escaping the Self. No matter how we try to get away, numb out, escape; drugs, alcohol, tv, food, more relationships, work, there we are in it the whole time!

The amazing thing we get to experience by being present is how much of our present is being dictated by our past programming. Somewhere in the core of our being when we came into these bodies we experienced fear, pain, the illusion of lack; not enough love-attention and the ultimate illusion of separation. That somehow we are alone in our experience and/or separate from the One. The ego is born and magically saves us by creating survival tools that help us move forward and earn the love we need to survive. We will do anything for some of that which we need to continue on, our will to survive is that strong! Then suddenly we are grown and in these adult relationships which require new tools but we are still using the old ones based on the past. We re-create relationships that help us play out the original illusion that somehow we are not good enough, loveable enough, worthy enough etc. and we are again in pain and fear just like before. The past repeating itself. The old moans being moaned again!

How do we move past this? One powerful step is to stop blaming the other for our pain and looking within to see how we co-created these relationships. Who were we in the room? How did we attract this level of relationship? What were we attracted to? How did we expect to be loved in the relationship? How did we see ourselves showing up in that space? Did we want our love to be accepted? Maybe we wanted our love to alter someone else’s life? Save someone? Finally we felt like we would be loved in the space as it wasn’t like that in the past? What were the dynamics? The only way to be free and conscious is to look within. Our journey is about our own consciousness not the other person, (they have their own journey expanding).

One tool that is powerful is to identify and understand our buttons and where they came from. The greatest work I have done has been on my own buttons and I realized I had many all programmed early on in my life experience. My parenting partner helped me to know they existed just by showing up as himself! I am in gratitude that he showed up in my life to help me better understand myself. The work of understanding my buttons has helped me re-program them and I have found new freedom. In that new space the old behaviors of those around me have altered and don’t even show up anymore. Hence it was only there to help me become more aware. Once I was my energy altered, that in my consciousness altered as well.

We work together like dancers. Sometimes it may not seem as graceful as a dance and yet it is. There are movements and reactions to moves and then it builds together to create these elaborate performances which culminate into the dramas of our lives. We ruminate on them, hold onto the pain and discomfort of them and retell them. I have done this. I now know where it has led me which is away from the truth of myself and further into illusion. It is all perfectly choreographed and all we have to do is show up. There is magic and it will always teach us something more, about ourselves!. The goal is to remember to love. Precious little is said about the glory of the most loving!

I invite you to look within and discover your buttons to do the greater work of reprogramming them and finding your own freedom! Your joy is needed in this world and how you live affects those around you. How would you like to touch the world? The answer to that question will lead you to your deeper work and ultimately your joy!!

Breathing alters our being, even though we think other things do it better and faster breath raises our mental, physical and spiritual health by transforming the old negative patterns of the past into positive. We get to cleanse our bodies of negative emotions and illness when we breathe!

Come to breath classes every Monday and Friday evenings at 6:30 – 8:30 and find your joy and re-create your health, this is your birthright!
Your Light adds to the world!
