The Secret To Coping With Change Is To Accept It As Everyday Life

26/4/2020

0 Comments

 
The readings, healings and meditations focus this past month has been around the coming sense that there is change is the air and not knowing what to expect.
 
Change is the element we know, it does feel ok. However, it is because you don’t know what are heading towards that makes you fearful and anxious.

Intuitively we can feel the changes coming because the world fear has reached a critical mass and we can feel the shift in our energy field.
​

So let’s look at the elements of change as a Spiritual being…​

Risk assessment
Resistance to change comes from fear of the unknown. Those of you who know how to manage change have mastered the fear. That mastery does not kick in for every occasion though, so there is always a moment or two where you must assess the risks. Always check in with your intuition vs your instinct. 

Energy Reserves
You need energy to facilitate a seamless change. It is necessary to stop and assess life when change is on the horizon, especially if you are feeling anxious about it. Often we are involved in many dramas or projects that are not for our highest good. So stop for a minute and do a stocktake. What is draining you in this moment? Will you let that go? Is it even yours to fix?

Is it mine?
You might have other events that have exhausted your energy reserves. Ask yourself, do I need to be involved here? It doesn’t mean you never help or be of comfort to friends and family however when you are in the middle of a change this is not where your energies are best spent. Be honest and walk away from energy draining situations. 
**This relates to Karmic Debt which I will talk about in another blog. 

What do I do?
So many factors can interfere with our transition through change. You need maximum energy and focus to facilitate change. It is not always reasonable to assume you will have the energy or the focus required, however, when faced with change you have an opportunity to clear the deck. Assess, what can you let go of right now? Is something taking your precious energy?  


How do I manage in limbo?
Stay focused on your needs. Look after yourself. 
Learn to hear your intuition. If you’re not sure how to do that, here is a link to a FULL BODY MEDITATION. Your body is your link to intuition. 
Let your thoughts flow but you do not always have to follow them. They are not always telling you the truth.
Find your support system, your tribe. You will know them. They boost your energy, not drain it. 
Above all, remember, this limbo is not forever. The wheel always turns. And when it does, you will be ready. 

​Why a strong connection with the Power of Spirit is so important right now
Soul knows the change and has made the adjustment already. The discomfort you feel is the misalignment of mind and emotional bodies. This discomfort is what gets us moving towards realignment and The Universe provides the situations to help us. 
​With each experience you lift your vibration. Old beliefs, emotional attachments to memories and sometimes, even physical pain, dissolves. After this healing experience your Soul, Mind and Body realign, stronger, wiser. You are ready for the next step. This cycle repeats itself constantly throughout your life. Accepting this fact helps you to make those transitions as smooth as possible.
  • By strengthening your relationship with your Soul, and ultimately Spirit, the decisions you make are supported by this power and they make sense as well. No more second guessing. 
  • We instinctively fear change. Here is the Intuition vs Instinct at play. So, when you strengthen your intuition you can make conscious decisions.
  • You can reassess your feelings towards change and with enough in reserve, know you have whatever it needs to step through the door when it opens up to you.

Be The Change You Want To See In The World. Be The Master Of Your Destiny

Sometimes inspirational signs or writing come along at just the right time… 
They make me stop and think about my own world view. Once upon a time I would fear my negative thoughts. I was very afraid they would have an immediate effect and my energy, my Soul, my aura would all be tainted. I was in constant fear I would push my spiritual development backwards. I fought hard to make myself more forgiving, compassionate and grateful.  

Do you know what happened?…
I ended up keeping the terrible people and damaging situations close by until I was able to heal the uncomfortable feelings. Pfftt, never going to happen. I was trying to control others rather than looking honestly at myself. I finally realised that keeping the damaging people and situations close by was doing the very thing I was trying to avoid. I was crippling myself, physically, mentally and spiritually.

So, I went back to the drawing board…
I put down the books I was reading. (which is where a lot of misinformation was coming from). I let go of the teachers and mentors that kept me in a state of fear (it was in their best interests to victimise others to feel power). I talked to my guides, I communed with my Soul, my inner wisdom, found more compassionate teachers and discovered my own path.

Which was lucky because…
One day I was in a situation where I could not reconcile my circumstances and the damaging negative thoughts came thick and fast. I was hating the people who had power over me. They were using their positions of power to bully me and no amount of compassion, forgiveness or gratitude brought a resolution. I was more terrified of my negative thoughts than the bullies. The affirmations, protective bubbles and loving thoughts were useless, plus pushing the thoughts down was making me physically sick. I am an adaptor. If I find myself in a difficult relationship or job, I adapt. People who are psychic, sensitive, empathic know what I’m talking about. We know how to read the room and we think we can control the room. Before you know it, you are floored.

I needed a new strategy…
I remember a distant healing technique I’d learned and I adapted it to this situation. I created an energy vortex coming from my crown chakra and sent my thoughts, all the ugly ones, to the Spirit world. Effectively, I had surrendered my need to control the bullies and let the energy of Spirit do the heavy lifting on this one. It worked a treat.

So what happened?…
As in all situations where I have felt this powerless, the Universe was reminding me it was time to move on. So, I surrendered the whole situation, the way forward was revealed to me and all I had to do was step into the opportunities that magically turned up. A lot was taken out of my hands and the best possible outcome occurred. 

Mind you…
I still had to make the decisions and take responsibility for those decisions but with the power of Spirit backing me, the way was crystal clear. I moved on from the job, money came from all angles and opened up the opportunity to work as a psychic and healer full time. My dream job.
So here’s the verse, attributed to Lao Tzu, I came across that gave words to this process. 

Watch your thoughts, they become your words. 
  • Words have power. Saying the thoughts out loud, however, does give you the opportunity to decide whether you want to keep them.
Watch your words, they become actions.
  • Once you voice your thoughts, if they make sense, you want to try them out. When you act on them they will create a neural pathway like setting something into a mould. 
Watch your actions, they become habits.
  • This is where your neural pathway becomes your best or worst friend and if you’ve ever smoked or craved something you will know what I mean.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
  • If your newly created and nurtured neurons are firing then you will want to satisfy that desire regularly. You will seek out people, social groups and places that accept you and your new behaviours, because it feels good.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.
  • At this point you should be able to see where you are headed. You have enough information and experience to decide whether this is where you would like to go.
I always liked this verse because as long as you are making conscious decisions and tuning in to your Soul Wisdom at every checkpoint, you get to decide. Is this what you would like your destiny to be? 
I’ll say it again… 
YOU GET TO CHOOSE. How fabulous is that. Life is not out of your hands, it is your life, not Spirits, not your teachers or gurus, and definitely not your friends and family. 

One last point. Forgiveness, Gratitude and Compassion are not things you can make yourself do. Sometimes you are in a place where you need to feel unforgiving, angry and selfish in order to move into a more healing heart space. Forgiveness, Gratitude and Compassion are states of being, not doing. You evolve into these states and act without a second thought. When I hear someone say to me they must be more forgiving when they’re clearly angry or I’m don’t like this situation but I’m grateful for the experience or I must be more compassionate then put treat themselves as if they don’t matter, I remind them that these feelings of anger, resentment and shame must be expressed so they may move forward. If you do not experience the so called “negative” feelings you will never know Forgiveness, Gratitude or Compassion in their fullness. They wait for you on the other side. 

​I absolutely recommend using the exercise of the Crown Chakra Vortex as a way of transmuting your troubling thoughts. Or, you could use the Morning Pages which I have up on my website, just CLICK HERE for the link.

What you think, you create. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you become.

I don’t subscribe to the idea of “manifesting” but I do love Vision Boards…
Vision boards are wonderful tools for focus. Once created they are not something pretty to look or to grant wishes. The are the beginning of something creative. So, lets do something a bit different here this week and explore some processes using a Vision Board to help you find your Big Picture.

Materials you might need:
It doesn’t have to be a board on the wall. You can use things like a book or even your phone or computer. The only criteria I am going to insist on is that you can add a picture or two. So find something that will suit you. Here are some suggestions…
-project cardboard (always a favourite), cork board, magnetic board, journal, exercise book, A4/5
-glue, magnets, pins for a corkboard
-colouring pencils/pens, decorations (glitter, material, coloured paper)
-pictures or drawings (a must), a visual aid

Make a list of all the things you think you would like right now or in the future…
Don’t hold back, make it a long list if you like, because this is the first part of the process. Leave your list for a day or so and revise it. Leave it another couple of days and revise again. Every time you revisit your list, look at what you would like to add or subtract. You could even meditate on the list, see what takes your fancy. You could even use the process I talked about in LAST WEEKS BLOG to decide what is important to you. It is necessary to find what is important because when the going gets a little tough you will use the connection to your Big Picture to keep you on track.

Next, prioritise your list…
Sort your list into Be Do Have. Is this something you want to BE, is this something you want to DO, or is this something you want to HAVE? This will help your subconscious begin to work out how to make it happen for you. 
**I want to take a breath here and remind you to constantly revise your list and become as specific as you can about what it looks like. It doesn’t matter if it is still a bit vague though, let things simmer**

Then, create…
​Put together your Vision Board. Stick on your poster or make a picture book, make it look inviting. There is no right or wrong way to build a Vision Board. Colours, different textures, positioning. This process helps you bond with your ideas, helps you fall more in love with them.

This is the intuitive part…
Take time to look/visit your Vision Board every morning and night. Look and allow the feelings of satisfaction this gives you. EVERY MORNING AND EVERY NIGHT. See yourself in the picture and let yourself FEEL what it will be like when you have succeeded. It is easier to stay committed if you can remember how something feels rather than intellectualise it. Ask yourself every time “Is this still my dream, my Big Picture?” 
**adjust your Vision board accordingly and if you think something needs a tweak, do that**

Surrender…
Surrender the process and outcome to your Objective Mind, just let it go. Allow the Divine Power that works with you to adjust your life experiences so they align with your dreams. Allow your Self to be open to shifts and changes in your surroundings, your beliefs, your attitudes and your perspective. Be prepared to let go of the old, make way for the new. Let the Power of Spirit move you through difficult choices and support you when you are ready to step into the new. When the time is right you will know when to act because you would have done the preparation.

If you have any doubts or questions, meditate on them, day dream, check in to your heart. The answers will come to you intuitively, in your dreams or as inspiration. You must give it time. Sometimes our dreams may take days, weeks, months, years. Just remember, they happen in the time that suits your Soul Journey. It is uncomfortable. Sometimes your life will change, this prepares you for it but the decision is still up to you. There are never any rights or wrongs here, you cannot make a mistake or miss an opportunity. Just letting yourself dream about something you know will lift you is a lift to the Soul. Experiment with it. Test it out. Adjust accordingly. Have fun!
Picture
Here is the process, as I see it, as a list or chronology:
You have an urge for something “better” than what you are living right now
You begin to imagine, meditate, daydream what that could look like
You create a vision board/journal to give yourself some focus and clarify what you are trying to articulate
You have some setbacks or you adjust many times because as you live, experience and evolve, you grow closer to your true Self and what gives it nourishment
You realise at this point that the Power of Spirit/The Divine is working with you to help you recognise opportunities as well as boosting your courage to make changes. Your guides and Spirit are your power, not your decision makers. 
You eventually realise after many successes and failures that you are really only seeking peace and therefore begin to seek the people and situations that reflect this Peace and act accordingly. 
You no longer require a Vision Board or a plan to move forward, you live your Soul Purpose every day.
Every decision you make is influenced by your ultimate Big Picture. A state of Peace. ​

Pour love into what you do and you will always be doing what you love

5/4/2020

Do you know what you love?

Finding your purpose, or passion, is not always a straightforward exercise. Sometimes we think we want something because it looks shiny and when we get up close it either doesn’t fit or is a bit tarnished…so we start again. I was taught a very simple way to work out if you really love your idea and how you can move towards it. (Credit to Dr Irina Webster, my Medical Intuitive teacher. I highly recommend her courses). It’s a little bit like Marie Kondo but for your chakras.

I might love it but I don’t know how to make it happen…
I don’t know how many great ideas I’ve had. I know they would work, but I never got around to putting them into practice. And, most of them I forgot to write down *insert facepalm here* thinking I’d remember them because I got so excited about it. Some of them were put into practice and did not last long, some I put time into but they were never put into action because they were not viable and some worked. The thing is, I had an idea and I gave it a go, many times. Out of 100+ ideas maybe 5 worked, or were viable. 

What gets you excited is always a good place to start…
There is no magic in predicting what is a great idea. If my creative Self is giving me a nudge then I start to plan how to put something together. There is a kind of magic in tuning in to your Soul to determine whether or not this will be something you will love bringing to life. When I am coaching clients I always like to check in to see what they love to do or what activity/healing/creative venture has given them an energy boost when they have participated in it. I remember the first time I picked up a deck of Tarot cards, I was in love straight away.

The best part, checking in with your Soul…
Tuning in to your Soul is always a lovely exercise for me. A long time ago I learned how to like the person that I am (all the bits) and when I tune in now I always feel comforted. The comfort comes from the connection I have with the Spirit world, it flows through my Soul and when I give it attention, I get an energy boost. Anyway, I am off topic!

​How to use your chakras to move your ideas from inspiration to reality…

Crown Chakra This is where the ideas flow in. Energy from Spirit sparking your creative mind and releasing ideas and concepts that make sense. This is where  the excitement comes from. You get a real body buzz when something new begins to take shape and you can give it name.

Picture

Brow Chakra (Third Eye) A developed Third Eye is able to discern when an idea is viable or fantasy because it can place it in the future and, if viable, your whole of body responds. Your vibration shifts into a new mode and you can get serious about it because you can see the big picture. If you cannot sense the big picture you will find your Third Eye constantly trying to adjust it and this is exhausting. Develop your Third Eye and you will streamline the sorting process. How do you develop your Third Eye? Meditate…
​

Picture

Throat Chakra When you talk about your idea, hear yourself say it out loud, does it make sense to your ears too?
​
​

Picture

Heart Chakra Hold the idea in your heart. Do you truly love it? I mean, really love it? If you only like it you will not have the motivation to follow through when things get a bit difficult. To paraphrase Marie Kondo “Does it bring you joy?” ​

Picture

Solar Plexus Are you able to bring the idea into reality? Is the material reality we live in able to support your idea? Can you find the materials, the space, the support you need?

Picture

Sacral Chakra Now that your idea is here, it has form and is no longer a concept, how are you comfortable sharing it with the people you want to connect with? This is not a test about whether it is good or bad idea. It is more about how much YOU believe in it and, more importantly, believe in yourself. I say this because you are including a part of yourself in the pitch. By now you have a personal investment and if someone rejects your idea you may find yourself feeling crushed because it will feel like you are personally being rejected. A lot of creative endeavours fail to see the light of day here because we want people to like us, we humans do not do rejection well. 

Picture

Base Chakra And here we share our idea with the wider community. Again, this can be confronting. Here we let our creative “baby” out into to the world to be judged. It is no longer in our control and we must accept how the community at large interprets it. This can be quite confronting because we are now giving the entire population of the world the opportunity to reject us *insert a big belly laugh here*. I can tell you that once you have finally succumbed and let whatever will be, will be, it is a huge relief *big sigh here* 

Picture

​Now for your next big idea…. No time like the present...GO FOR IT!!!

Things to keep in mind so you don’t give up or get despondent 

*Not everything you try will be around for ever and you will always find a clue to what the next adventure is 

*How do you measure success? If you cannot see where you’ve had a win in every endeavour then your measure needs to be redefined so you are not constantly disappointed and giving up. In other words, alter your expectations (not lower them)

*You may find your creative idea gets stuck at any point. This is one of two things. Either it is not time yet to bring the idea to the world, or you have missed something and need time out to let the “fix” come to you.  

*Let all of your ideas flow, even if they are fantasy, it doesn’t matter. Sometimes things look like unicorns to start with and with nurturing (daydreaming) your unicorn develops into something viable 

*Don’t get stuck on “it’s got to look like this”. Let yourself be flexible. Be prepared to change course. The best course of action in this instance is focus on the “Big Picture," the details will work themselves out.

*​Go with the flow If your creative idea, for any reason, stops and cannot be revived then let it go. Be ok with that. It got you to this place and that was probably its purpose

With Love
