What you Focus on Expands

What you Focus on Expands, what you obsess over Destroys.

This has been a hard lesson for this little Spirit to learn.  Discerning between pinpointed Focus and the Attachment of Obsession can be difficult when caught up in the moment.  The element of Need occurs when Attachment is in play.  The Need, implies that you are lacking something, which sends mixed messages to the Universe when you are in process of manifesting abundance.  If the Attachment grows and the Need takes over, that is when Obsession occurs.

For Example:
When one is focussing on Love in a healthy manifesting way, one is focussing on ALL THINGS in the NOW that trigger the Love sensation.  When this practice manifests the desired Love Mate, then we must take care in not transferring all of our Love attention onto the new Love Mate, neglecting all other things in that Now that created the space for the Love Mate to occur. 

When all pinpointed focus becomes centered on one thing, for instance, the new Love Mate, we fall spiralling into Attachment, false beliefs of Need and consequently into Obsession.  This cycle will not only destroy the health and well-being of the Love Sensation within your soul that you created by focussing on the Love of all things in the Now, but in turn will also destroy the health and well-being of the Love sensation between you and the object of Need or Obsession, the Love Mate.  The beautiful, pure, Divine Love sensation that occurred between the two of you in the beginnings of the relationship then turns obsessive, fearful, jealous and toxic.  Phew. 

So then the trick to a healthy, Divine Love relationship is to continue to appreciate and Love all things in the Now, adding in that special Love Mate.  If you've been through this cycle in some way and I'm sure you can relate.

In this moment I am extending gratitude to the Lost Love Mate, for teaching me this difficult lesson.

Here's to manifesting Love in your life.  And if you are truly blessed, you may encounter your Twin Flame.
I send you blessings of loving, pearly pink light to give you a Boost of Love as you continue on your journey.

Blessings.

Walking through the Fire of Transformation

OMG! How have almost two whole months gone by since I have blogged?  As Chinese astrology, Vedic astrology and the big "Mayan calendar" ending all indicated, 2012 was destined to be a transformational year and thus far it has not disappointed me in the least!

You may have been, or are, experiencing what appears or feels like destruction within, or on the outside of your own personal world.  Rest assured that while Prozac may seem like the only solution, your body is responding to universal changes.

While the end of the Mayan calendar indicated the total destruction of the world, the Vedic calendar pointed to a huge transformational change globally in truth, spirituality and relations.  The Chinese Year of the Water Dragon also indicates massive transformation, revealings of hidden truths and emotional shifts on a powerful scale.

I personally haven't blogged because the power of these forces effected me to my core.  I truly felt like I was being ripped open and turned inside out. Old hidden emotions surfaced and were processed, hidden truths about my character were revealed to me helping me to move past old wounds and change patterns of behavior ultimately revealing to me a truer version of myself.

I share all of this, only to share that if you are struggling, feel like you're going crazy, experiencing pain or disappointment... YOU ARE NOT ALONE.  And what lies on the other side will be worth the pain. Allow the transformation to occur to you.

This video really helped me to understand and walk through the process.

We start the 5th month soon.  I cannot wait to see what's in store then.

Opening Your Intuition

I am a fan of Twitter personality @Lesism.  A spiritual writer who blogs of his Awakening and his experiences in the few short years since. 

I was reading a lovely blog entry at Lesism.blogspot.com about battling depression which I have recent experience.  He talks about listening to the toxic gibberish of the ego which he has experienced as occurring in the base of the brain vs listening to your Higher inner voice or intution which he experiences in the 3rd eye chakra region or frontal portion of the brain.

I read this experience with curiosity.  I have been actively working with chakras as well as the intuitive senses.  While I do not at all disagree with @Lesism, I beg to dig deeper.

Where does intuition lie with the body and the energy field? The answer to that varies from person to person and even experience to experience.  In some cases, I just Know. I don't know how I know, and often I manage to THINK my way out of believing the "knowing".  In other cases, I Hear the answer.  My higher inner voice is speaking to me and if I am NOT listening to the idle toxic chatter of the ego as @Lesism describes, I can here the soft clear answers of wisdom.  I also FEEL it, mostly as a twisting in my gut for no or a lightest in my heart for yes.  Tingles, goosebumps, hair standing on end are all intuitive responses from within.

Remember, the more you pay attention, the more you will be open to guidance. The more guidance you experience and Trust, the more you will get more guidance from your higher inner self.  It has a wonderful snowball effect.

A fabulous book for seekers of opening intuition is written by MIT graduate who studied the psychic arts with the precision of a scientist, but wrote the book in simple terms. Campy as the title is, YOU ARE PSYCHIC is the best intuition opening manual I have come across.

The Power of Surrender

Inevitably, when I find myself suffering angst, pain, or grief I discover that I am attempting to swim upstream carrying a whole lotta stuff that I have convince myself I need.  In simple terms, I am battling the natural flow of my life and most likely I'm making it as hard as possible.

I insist, as they say, upon not only acting in my own production, but I'm demanding set design be my way, the sound and lighting, the schedule to run on my timetable and I'm directing all of the other players with an iron fist leaving no room for creative flow, improv or outside input. In short, I lock God in the Green Room and then wonder why everything has exploded into a dust storm under my brilliant instruction!

And so, when I am feeling most emotionally uncomfortable and distraught, I must ask myself, what am I not surrendering to?  What am I fighting for in my life that just isn't falling into place? 

Now, this is NOT to say don't fight for your heart's desire.  It's merely to remind you that if you are pushing on the door to your absolute exhaustion and pain, then you are probably pushing on the wrong door. Look around you, because usually there is a window open somewhere nearby. :)

Breathe, journal and take a walk outside.  The answers will come. You may not like them, but trust that there is a bigger plan.  And remember, "More will be revealed".

ACCEPTANCE vs ACCEPTABLE

Gratitude and Acceptance are key.  You will hear these words in many forms by a majority of Spiritual  Gurus out there.  However, Gratitude and Acceptance of a horrible circumstances can be a real challenge, so what is this all about and how do you make this valuable manifesting principle work within the confines of your life.

As I pondered this principle this morning, considering my own challenging circumstances what occured to me is there is a clarification necessary. 

ACCEPTANCE of your current circumstances is NOT a proclamation that they are ACCEPTABLE.

The purpose behind the principle of Acceptance is to get us out of NO, to get us out of the negative thoughts that go along with complaining internally about this current circumstance so that we can make the necessary adjustments with high vibrational energy and manifestation tools to make changes to our circumstances.  However, accepting our Day as it is Today, does NOT mean you have to allow that to be your ACCEPTABLE tomorrow.  Make your proclamation to the Universe, "I Accept that this is the challenge that I face today and I am DETERMINED to do whatever it takes to make my Tomorrow more acceptable to me." 

Gratitude for a challenge that has you completely bogged down is somehow a more challenging scenario, however having the vibrational energy levels of Gratitude coursing through your energy field and your day, is paramount to manifesting that "Acceptable Tomorrow".  Search for things in your day to be grateful for, no matter how small.  Repeat your gratitude list throughout your day and focus your mind on visualizing whatever it is that will make your Tomorrow more Acceptable than your Today.

RELAX - Your best Work is Play

One of the key elements to the book and movie THE SECRET, is to always FEEL GOOD.  For some of US, this is far easier to say than to do on a consistent basis.  If you are in a particularly stressful time in your life (as many are, that are seeking) or if you suffer from clinical depression, it can be really hard to keep your vibrational energies in the upper levels where you can honestly say that you feel good. 

Here are some recommendations when you are not feeling so good-
1. JOURNAL - get the junk out and onto paper. If its really bad, have a ceremonial burial or burning of the pages to destroy whatever is bothering you.
2. WALK - Walking in a forward direction is a YES activity (see my Power of YES blog) repeat gratitude affirmations and/or simply announce YES while you are walking. Pay attention to things of beauty on your walk. The elevated vibrational levels of beautiful visions will elevate you also!
3. MEDITATION- A chakra light meditation or an Angel meditation are also powerful tools. Call the Light in or your Angels to help heal, energize, empower you.
4. PHYSICAL - Workout, run, Tai Chi, Yoga are all great ways to alter ones energy and mood.

Now, let's say you just can't get yourself to use any of these tools, or worse, you tried them but its just not quite enough to snap you out of it.  Then we move into new territory.  You see, all of these things could be construed by your inner self as work and your inner self is typically between 3 and 6 years old.  So if you are meeting such resistance to the list I gave, now we need to appeal to your inner child.  The inner child wants to play. The inner child does not care what you think you are supposed to do, it wants to do what is fun or different or 'not allowed'. You know what your inner child wants to do. How often do you let it?

Go to a music store and strum a guitar no matter how bad it sounds. Buy paint and glitter and make a really silly but outrageously fun picture on $1 poster board. Write a silly poem in the voice of your 5year old inner child, marvel at the simplistic wisdom comes out of this neglected part of you! Take yourself to a toy store, or the zoo, or the children's science museum, a botanical garden or to the beach to make sand castles.

When all else fails, do that thing that you've been telling yourself you're not allowed to do (keep it lawful and within confines of your moral standards of course) but cut loose a little! Blast your stereo and dance around your house fearless, like a child. When you are struggling to feel good, it means your soul is crying out to you for something it is not getting, something you are not doing.

Let's fill every day with a symphony of laughter and joy.  What a wonderful world that will be.

The Way of the Jedi

I took my son to see STAR WARS - The Phantom Menace today. I am continually amazed by the powerful insight of this series in regard to energy and the unseen workings of the Universe. 

There are so many subtle reminders in the STAR WARS series, my favorite is Yoda's famous quote in the original Star Wars which I will paraphrase as-- Do, or do not. There is no Try.

However, what struck me today as so important was when Obi Wan's Jedi mentor is speaking to a 6 year old Anakin Skywalker.  He says to the child, that to become a Jedi will not be easy.  The training will be difficult and rigrous.  However the determined young Skywalker is unwavering in his desire to be a Jedi. 

If you are reading this Blog, you are on your own path of a Jedi. Many will fall away and not reach the goal. They give up and blend in with the flock and melt into mediocrity. The way of the Jedi, to tap into the Universe, to raise your energy levels well above the average, to rise above the crowd to greatness, will take unstoppable determination, powerful conviction and blinded focus. 

Stay on the path young Jedi. If you are here, you have been chosen to rise above the flock. The Universe needs you. Your purpose is greater than anything you have thus far dreamed of. You are being called on a quest.
