Frenzied Pace

“Frenzied Pace?” Anyone familiar with the frenzied pace life can take? I asked one of my guides for advice on how to open my heart because she answered “Open your heart” in response to my question prior to this one. Oye! If I could tell you how many times I’ve been told this AND how many times I’ve been told to tell others this in readings. So let me crack the code because my guide told me a way to access or start this process. I believe most of us are living off the reptilian brains and experience life through fight or flight. Our current living conditions make for a very over stimulating place! There are many ways to reprogram, choose to change or shift into an open heart or as I may say it, “living from feeling or discernment and action” in place of living from reaction and judgment. Also, do you see how I layered and asked an additional question to get further to the root of the response? Yes you do! Ok, so my guide showed me how we do things in a frenzied state. Then she showed me how we can just as easily choose to do them from a place of calm. We can get the same result while staying in alignment with our bodies, minds and souls. In this scenario we are talking about opening our heart to ourselves. Being gentle and compassionate with who we are. Our nature is to be calm. Observe where you find yourself frenzied. Is it at home, at work or out with friends? How can you choose calm in this situation? If you can’t choose calm, how can you ask for support? Ask during the heat of the moment to yourself. What can I do to experience peace? Keep asking with each new situation until what is needed unfolds. I find this type of learning comes in waves. Go with the wave! Wave back at it too! I recognized when I drive the car I can be quite stressed. If you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. I am in a metal box on hard pavement with hundreds of others whizzing by, billboards, children and music adding to the mix, perhaps heading to a, foreign to me, destination. This is a lot for one person to do. Not to mention what perhaps was going on before we even reached the car! Packing a lunch, making sure teeth were brushed and hair combed, phones were answered, and spills were mopped, you get the picture! Now when I am driving the car I am so relaxed I almost fall asleep! I never realized how stressed I was when I drove the car. Who knew? However, driving in a city is a Limbic system in overdrive! So now, if you see me on the road, honk loudly because I am catching up for lost time and letting in my inner calm!

Creating Joy

Wow, the Universe works in mysterious ways! I wrote this, then left to work away from home. While away, I had just this very thing I am writing about happen! This is about you. It is about taking care of your self. It is about choosing to shift only toward joy. If something “takes you down” STOP! Stop in your tracks and get back with and to you. If it is a person who stops you in your tracks, even if they are close to you, stop! Stop engaging with them. Let them come to you when they want or need you, then decide what is right for you at that moment. If it is a situation, how can you change it up? How can you allow a new experience in place of what keeps happening? Stop trying and remember to ask. “Show me how to change this situation so I find my joy & flow.” “Show me if I am to be part of this situation any longer.” “Support me to use wisdom to choose people and situations, which fill me up.” When people say or do things that make you upset. Let it go! It’s not yours to hold. Instead, turn back to yourself and allow space for you to release it. Get it out of your head and push it through and out of your heart. Then ask yourself what would support you right now? Act on it. Don’t judge it. In doing readings lately the message is “to be,” to slow down and take a break! The good news is they’ve also been instructed to release the guilt and allow themselves to receive the break as a much, needed departure from being overly occupied. Which brings me to a point and the theme of my next article. A friend and I spoke today and it came to me that distraction is the source of our separation. If we are able to stay connected to now, “to be” we achieve a constant connection to source. So go be! Release those who trouble you. Life is meant to be joy filled and easy. What step can you create this week to add to your joy?

Energy Update "When everybody......"

“When everybody got what they wanted peace arrived with no effort at all” What if everyone got their highest good met? What if we gave up suffering and chose to allow ourselves to feel what we want to feel? See nobody can make you feel anything. That perception comes from our experiences in life and many of us conformed to our societal demands (whatever they have been for each of us) and some of us shaped to fit somebody else’s agenda. When we ask ourselves what do we want? We might think of some things. However, if we keep asking at every turn, what do we want? And we narrow it about career, relationships and health, if our life were pure pleasure, joy and ease, what would that look and more so feel like? I’ve been traveling the past two weeks. Prior to leaving town I worked on intentions (manifesting) for my career. I’m delighted to report a lot has come from getting excited about my career and setting personal goals/aspirations. Then I followed my flow, my bliss and from this knew just what events to take in and which ones to dismiss and voila! I had two fantastic opportunities, in alignment with my intentions to the Universe, come my way prior to my departure. Now I am looking to other areas of my life using my career as an example. I find myself “cleaning house”, fleshing out just how I want to feel from relating to others and about my health. I find making decisions about where to place my energy and where to keep it for me takes courage and an active relationship with my heart and joy to guide me. I have had my moments! However, I care enough about myself to explore my deeper needs which for most of us, the root of which, is simply the feeling of joy and of course love. Trust yourself this week. Ask yourself, “What brings you true joy?” Then love yourself to the good feelings this brings. Then reap the benefits. Its all about the law of attraction! Go claim what’s yours. ….And? if everyone got what they really wanted, the world would have peace.
