I Believe!!

I seem to be going through a process recently of really challenging my own beliefs about
myself, about my purpose and how I am doing on my path. I seem to be attracting the
opportunity to sit and witness the energy that is generated when a person is so locked on their
own perception of the world that they forget to allow for another opinion or feeling.

I find myself quite put off by this energy – the evangelistic attitude which keeps challenging
what I think, how I think and feel and then minimizes (and even belittles) when my life
philosophy or opinion does not fit with what they are saying… I realize that is something I
need to come to terms within myself too.

I like to think that I am an easy going and supportive person who allows everyone to have
their own opinion, their own voice and their own version of reality… in fact I consciously work
on that. But occasionally I get into thinking or saying something like “you can’t do (say / be)
that!!” While I can tell myself that this is coming from a loving and supportive place – I realize
that I am falling into a trap of judgment, labeling and seeking to control someone elses’
reality.

I recognize that my disapproval or control seeking is actually an attempt to ignore or not take
ownership (and therefore responsibility) for a belief, judgment or thought which I have –
right or wrong.

What I have also noted of late is that the word ALLOW keeps coming up for me in and around
these experiences of challenge and introspection. I know that I am receiving the answer and
guidance I need when I need it – I just wanted to share this experience and see if there is
anything I have written here that strikes a cord for you.

In closing I would like to quote an affirmation I came across recently…

“I radiate and attract whatever I choose to accept. I now choose to accept the highest and
best in life. I now choose and receive the best health, success and happiness. I now choose
to accept lavish abundance for myself and all. This is a rich friendly Universe and I choose to
accept its riches and hospitality and enjoy them now!”

There is NO try!!

I just finished a session with a client where the topic of self care practices were discussed, dismissed and investigated!!

My client was telling me about all of the practices he had tried over the years – meditation, breathing exercises, journal writing, etc.  He recognized that all of these practices were of value but they just did not get him to where he wanted.

I guided him into looking at why he was just ‘trying’ — was he not worthy of a solid commitment – did he not feel passionate enough about some form of discipline to follow it through and adopt a stick-to-it attitude?

The truth is when we keep running from one habit or practice to another trying them rather than really doing them at that time – it does not really allow for the development of a real felt sense of what can be achieved and whether that discipline is right for us or not.

There are many methods and ways to drop into your own sense of self — your own sense of worth and in turn what it is you need to feel at peace and in joyful expression.  It is important to find what speaks to you at the level you need and be with it.

Rather than thinking that you need to conform to other’s definition of practices that allow deep self connection – it is time to feel your way into divine right practice for you.

As Yoda says — “Do or Do Not….there is NO try!”

Until next time!

Love,

There is no source of illness…

I love the Abraham-Hicks wisdom — the following quote really resonates with what I believe and the work I do with clients…

If there is no source of illness, why are there so many sick people?  It is because they have found lots of excuses to hold themselves in vibrational discord with wellness. They are not letting it in. And when they don’t let it in, the absence of it looks like sickness. And when enough of them do it you say, “Oh, there must be a source of sickness. In fact, let’s give it a label. Let’s call it cancer. Let’s call it AIDS. Let’s call it all kinds of terrible things, and let’s imply that it jumps into people’s experience.” And we say it never jumps into anybody’s experience. It’s just that people learn through trial and error, and — through banging around with each other — patterns of thought that don’t let it in.
