• ability to grow spiritually.

Releasing these patterns may improve your ability to enjoy personal growth including the ability to realize the fulfillment of your manifestations, dreams and goals.

The following is an example which gives an effective method to release old patterns:

• Name the pattern or belief – Speak aloud to give your words power. Write it on a piece of paper. Be specific. Example: “I am not worthy of love. I am not lovable.”
• Identify where the pattern grew from. Speak aloud and write it on the paper. Using the same example, think back to the time in life where these feelings came from. “I feared my Mom did not love me. She was always critical of me.”
• Physically release the old pattern. Write on your paper that you are releasing this old pattern. In the above example “I release my fear of being unlovable. I am a loving person and I am worthy of receiving love.”
• Do a burn – take the paper outdoors and, in a safe place, burn it. Watch the smoke as it floats to the heavens, releasing your intention.
• State aloud your appreciation to your God or Higher Self, your Angels, Guides and Totems. Ask them to be with you as you embrace this change.

There are many, many other ways to release old patterns. If you would like to know more about this topic  Click Here! Attend “Releasing Old Patterns” class on Saturday, March 3, 2012 at 1:00 PM!

Macmillan Dictionary defines “retrain” as “to learn, or to teach someone, new skills that are needed for a job”.  Well, throughout your waking hours you have an inner voice chattering nonstop even though you are not aware of it. This constant stream of conversation may create challenges by distracting and diminishing your ability to be truly “in the present”. Your inner voice may be communicating negative thoughts, preventing you from moving forward and achieving your potential.

Does your inner-voice chatter about how unworthy you are, how difficult a task or goal will be and even saying you will not succeed! The good news is that we all have the ability to train this chatter in a positive way which may elevate, encourage and uplift us.

Here are some suggestions you may want to try separately or in combinations:

• Take a walk – “Earth-walking” is a type of focus that involves tracing your steps in a pattern that repeats until you have come to a state of inner peace. The figure eight, the Infinity symbol, is a soothing yet powerful first pattern to try. You may notice your inner voice is unable to keep your interest for long when focusing on walking a pattern.
• Chanting – Mantras or just singing the song of your soul may give you the power to reach your goals and lift you from the ordinary to a higher level of consciousness.
• Place your hand or a finger on your forehead and say: “Okay, I hear you. Be quiet!” Then put your hand or finger on your heart and say: “I am listening with my heart right now!” This one is great for those times when you are on the run and want to shift your focus quickly – and it is FUN!

Daily affirmations, aromatherapy, meditation or Tai Chi may also work well. By using any of these methods you are training your subconscious mind to focus on the present and be positive.

Your inner voice is a wondrous part of who you are. By replacing self-defeating chatter with positive reinforcement the chatter may become supporting self-talk. It may boost your confidence. The more you practice turning your subconscious into your advocate, the greater success you may experience with your goals, manifestations and desires.

The power of love is legendary, built into folklore, history, common sense and daily experiences. There are many types of love. Some examples:

• Parental,
• Romantic,
• Friendship,
• Spiritual and
• Self-love

The beneficial effects of love take place on all levels and dimensions:

• Physically,
• Mentally,
• Emotionally and
• Spiritually

Hundreds of research studies confirm that negative emotions have negative impact to our health. It also confirms that positive emotions, such as love, may heal us and benefit us the same way exercise and a healthy diet do. Because of all the health benefits, love may actually extend our lives. Research also shows a connection between improved health and spirituality; a higher love or self-love. No matter what path we take, the search for life’s meaning boosts the immune system and lowers risk of disease.

The more we extend our connectedness and practice love the greater our impact to everything around us. When thoughts and actions come from a place of asking for your highest good and the greatest good of all, you are acting from a place of love. You become love in action!

Allowing your energy to tune in to the light of love you begin to resonate in harmony with your “All That Is”. Emotions with lower frequencies transform and begin to vibrate at the frequency of love. You radiate love, giving it freely and benefiting all around you. You become a beacon of love, peace, harmony and hope.  You discover the more you increase your love and radiate it out, the more you can receive.

Meditate and focus on your heart chakra. Focus on love and feel it increase in-depth and strength. You may find yourself relaxing, becoming calmer. Begin with self-love and caring. See love in others and send them your love. The more you practice being open to love and filling your Being with love, the stronger this vibration will become and the more it will grow. YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF LOVE!

Shine On! 

There is no right or wrong way when you are ready to take action to enlightenment or spiritual growth.  You have the potential to develop your awareness.  Humans seem to naturally seek that awareness in a variety of ways.  You have the ability to personalize your spiritual growth by choosing from a wide range of ideas and tools.  The most important thing is to take action.  Try different things – what feels right for you?

Often people search their past, looking for what happened to them and why. They ask “Why am I the way I am”?  It may be wiser to lovingly accept yourself as you are and move forward.  Others may begin to move forward but overload on the massive amount of information available through books, classes and the internet.  After feeling buried in the opinions of others they feel confused.  Seeking and learning are good; however you must believe in and trust yourself.  Choose what feels right for you.

Enlightenment does not mean a complete about-face to what you know and/or have grown up with. You need not set aside your fundamental religious beliefs unless you choose to do so.  Many Lightworkers practice a formal religion as well as taking part in other spiritual activities.  Think of your enlightenment as using your peripheral vision.  Instead of looking straight ahead, you are opening yourself to experience self discovery and love!

There are several actions you can take to bring your spiritual life into focus.  Here are just a few:

• Learn techniques to ground and balance
• Tai Chi – slow, deliberate and focused body movement
• Learn breathing techniques to increase energy flow
• Regular periods of time set aside for meditation
• Spiritual Coaching

So, do you need help coming up with techniques that work for you? I would be honored to guide you on this journey. I offer many different ideas and tips – just give me a call and schedule a Coaching Session.  Remember – The most important thing is taking action!

• Grounding & Video! (lightworkersgifts.wordpress.com)

Grounding is very powerful. It is the action of consciously creating an energy connection from the human body to Mother Earth. Everything is made of energy. When energized, your frequency increases. When grounding your body, the Earth acts as an electrical ground. Just like the third prong on an electrical cord, the Earth absorbs excess energy.

Have you ever felt dizzy, slightly nauseous or “spacey” during or after some activities? This may be your body telling you there is an excess of energy. You have the ability to release this excess by grounding. To avoid this build up it may be very wise to ground before energetic activities. Grounding may increase spiritual awareness. As you ground, your mind clears and becomes focused. You may feel more fully in the present with greater awareness of your surroundings. Grounding may also enhance whatever you are experiencing.

A few examples are:

• a Full Moon ceremony,
• an energy healing session,
• Tai Chi or
• meditation

It may also do wonders for activities such as exercise, special time with a friend or even at work.

For me, I found the most effective way to ground myself is to visualize roots growing from the base of my feet and sinking down to the Earth’s core. For a full description of this, watch my video! Other suggestions are:

• Eating something healthy
• Walking, especially in natural surroundings
• Practicing Tai Chi
• Carrying or wearing gemstones, especially Snowflake Obsidian

There are many other ways to ground yourself.  You may want to try different methods and stick with the one that works best. Bring grounding into the different aspects of your life and notice the difference it makes. You may need to ground several times during the day, depending on your energy level and the activities you are taking part in.

If you’d like more information about grounding, make an appointment today for Spiritual Coaching.

Forgiveness is a decision to let go of negative, low frequency emotions such as anger, resentment, bitterness or thoughts of revenge.  Ignoring the need to forgive and release negative emotions may prevent spiritual development or even cause physical or emotional illness.  Carrying the burden of emotions from being wronged may make you feel like a victim, unable to enjoy the present.

Practice forgiveness and you may begin to feel peace, happiness, empathy and compassion. An easy way to understand this is the phrase “walk a mile in their shoes.” When forgiving with empathy and compassion you may find it is easier to take that first step. Forgive yourself of the wrongs you may have done. You will feel a greater sense of worthiness and find yourself connecting to true compassion with greater ease. The following are some tips on practicing forgiveness:

• Forgiveness doesn’t mean you deny the other person’s responsibility for hurting you and it doesn’t minimize or justify the wrong. You can forgive the person without excusing the behavior.
• For whatever reason the other person may no longer be available to you. Forgiveness may be beneficial if you visualize the person, tell them how you were hurt, release negative emotions and forgive.
• You may be able to mend a relationship with someone you value. However, forgiveness is possible even when reconciliation is not.
• There may also be instances where the other person is not willing to accept your forgiveness. Think of forgiveness and how it can change your life. Release the control and power the offender had in your life.
• The memory of the behavior which hurt or offended you may always remain a part of your life. Forgiveness may lessen its negative grip and help you focus on other, positive aspects of living.
• And what if you are the one who needs forgiveness? The first step is to honestly recognize the hurt you may have caused and how your behavior or words affected others. Take it easy on yourself! You are human and humans make mistakes. Consider talking to those you may have offended. Speak of your regret and ask for forgiveness without making excuses. Keep in mind you cannot force someone to forgive you. Others need to move to forgiveness in their own time.

So, the act of forgiveness with all its benefits is a step toward loving and healing yourself as well as others. Are you ready to let go of old hurts? Then it may be time to practice forgiveness!

It’s a great time of year to de-clutter!  De-cluttering means to simplify. Identify what it is that you want to simplify, your home, your car or maybe your purse. To create balance is to create an unobstructed environment. It might be obstructive but you still love it or use it, so the energy still flows.

There are many ways to de-clutter. Experiment with a variety of ways to find what works for you. The following are some suggestions.

• Put on some good music and breath. Know your peak energy times and de-clutter during these periods. Know your limits and avoid overworking. De-cluttering a small area at a time will give you a sense of success and open the energy flow.
• Take your junk drawer and put the contents in a box. Every time you need something and you take it from this box, put it back in the junk drawer.  After six months you could get rid of this box.
• Take the time to put loose change in your wallet instead of tossing it in your purse, or get a change purse. Make it a habit to clean out your purse once a week (every Monday).
• Make a date with yourself and look forward to a change of energy. Once you achieve this you will find you have freed yourself. Motivate yourself with a small reward.
• Tag Team and make it fun! Get a friend or relative to help you.

De-cluttering your space helps balance the energy flow no matter what space it is you are clearing. It may clear your mind for new opportunities. The opportunities can be a new relationship, a new job, spiritual growth or the sense of inner peace. I choose to create my space and be in the moment and just keep moving from one location to the next.

So, enjoy finding your new found treasures and creating your balance!

New Year’s resolutions are commitments people make to themselves to improve or change their lives in the coming year. These are often forgotten during the first couple months of the year. Using the Law of Attraction and Manifesting is taking your resolutions to a higher level.

The Law of Attraction explains that our thoughts vibrate or radiate a signal and attracts a matching signal back. Whether the signal is positive or negative we will attract likewise. The Universe is fully available to us and our desires when we are open to receive. Manifestation is the belief that stating desires and focusing energy will bring our thoughts, or radiating signals, into physical reality. There are various ways to practice manifesting such as meditation, affirmations or speaking to your Higher Self or Source.
Some tips for turning resolutions into successful manifestations are:

• State your intention – your spoken words are powerful. Be positive!
•  Be specific – State exactly what you desire. Visualize what you want to create.
• Practice gratitude – Live is gratitude for what you presently have as well as for what is to come.
• Release your desires and intentions to the Universe. Allow the energies of the Universe to work mysteries and bring your intentions to fruition.
• Have faith – Know you have been heard. Accept that your desires will be achieved with Divine timing.
• Be patient – Relax! Enjoy your life knowing you have taken steps to successfully create your physical and spiritual desires.

During the time of Winter Solstice you may have looked back at 2011 to see how you expressed your manifestations in the recent past. Remember you create your life; you are limitless! As you become dedicated to your spirituality and surrender yourself to your higher self or God, you will begin to manifest for a greater spiritual understanding. Trust and accept that your material desires will be met.

In the material world where we exist together, what do you wish to create? In the connection of Spirit to your physical body, what will you manifest for your spiritual longings?

And always – SHINE ON!

One of the most dramatic times for me was when I completely lost my Chi. It was a time of recognizing how wise it is to take care of myself and to focus on ME. I developed healthier habits and am feeling the best I have in years!

I recently had an experience where someone gave me a compliment about my beauty. I really had to stop, breath and take this in. I am aware I am a beautiful human being. I make this statement with joy and love for my physical self! This lead right into acknowledging I am spiritually full of LOVE and I have VALUE. Sharing my love and value is a special gift I give others.

As you know, practicing Tai Chi is one of my favorite activities. One of the most profound realizations this year has been the importance of focusing on breathing. Through research I found food and water, although necessary to physical health and wellbeing, are considered negative to the body. This is balanced by focusing on breathing. With stress and tension, our bodies react with short, almost gasping breathes. This affects how our body uses other energy resources – like the food and water. At any given moment of the day I can focus on and practice breathing deeply to strengthen my energy.

Looking back at all my relationships I would not be the same person if I missed any of these connections. Whether old acquaintances or new, each individual filled me with joy, love and growth.

So, before you start your New Year’s resolutions, you may want to take time to review this year. You too may discover “ah-ha” moments in experiences which make you the wonderful and amazing person you are!
