  • Trust your intuition

    “Trust Your Intuition”  by Hazel Butterworth

    1 – Why is intuition our First Sense?

    People often refer to intuition as our 6th sense, it is something in addition to our five physical senses.
    I refer to it as our First Sense as it already exists within us.

    Intuition is the ability to connect and communicate with Infinite Intelligence and Pure Consciousness, it is innate within us and resides within our Soul Spark, (that part of us that is part of Source itself)  hence it is our FIRST SENSE. We were born with this inner knowing of truth and the ability to stay connected to Source. We are already aware and able to read the vibrations within and around us.

    Intuition is infinite supply of wisdom, possibilities, potential, creativity, knowledge, and inspiration, that is available to you all the time, especially when you have a strong connection between your Soul and Source/Universe/Divine intelligence/God, whichever term you are comfortable using. Awareness is key to the effectiveness of your own intuition. Tuning into this wisdom is an option.

    Intuition is your own Personal Inner Guidance System. It is your SOUL SPARK communicating with the subconscious and superconscious to give you clues consciously, to help you stay true to your purpose/mission. Being able to read the signs and clues is one thing, taking action is your choice.

    Intuition is     the part of you, that knows your truth and is aware of your blueprint, or map, of why you are here and what your purpose/mission is in this lifetime. It is your TRUE SELF your Authentic Self, the pure true you, your Soul Self.  It is the part of you that knows everything about you and who you are meant to be in this lifetime. Follow your intuition and learn to trust your intuition,

    Intuition is the ability to know something without understanding the logic of it. It is a form of unconscious intelligence that is always available. Because we are born with FREE WILL, we have the option to make choices for ourselves. These choices are driven either by EGO or by Soul.
    Ego is the logical rational mind – Soul is the intuitive all knowing awareness. (pure conscious awareness) Trusting intuition is making choices that feel right, even when logic says no.

    Intuition is energetic, it is vibrational. It is the ability to recognize if the vibration of the moment is aligned with Truth, Love, and Authenticity. If it is aligned, it feels good, if not you sense a discord or disharmony on some level of your being or physical body. Trust your gut instincts, it will always steer you for your highest good. Intuition can show up in many forms of communication.

    2 How can we see intuitively?

    After we are born, we perceive and learn about the 3D physical world through our five physical sensory awareness gifts of taste, touch, smell, hearing, and seeing. We learn as we grow. We also have the potential to perceive the nonphysical invisible world through the gifts of our Clairs- a heightened energetic expanded sensory awareness or extra sensory perception ESP. Because we learn about this later in life, we refer to it as our 6th sense, an addition to our regular physical senses.

    We can see intuitively through our clairs…. A heightened sense of energetic awareness that is beyond the physical. Consider intuition as the innate ability to communicate with your Soul and source to know the truth, and the clairs as additional tools available to help you, just like Angels, and Spirits can be guides to assist you. Intuition can be present through the clairs as a validation process.
    Clairaudience (clear hearing), Clairvoyance (clear seeing), Claircognizance (clear knowing), Clairaugustus (clear tasting), Clairsentience (clear feeling), Clairaliance (clear smelling), Clairempathy (clear emotions) and Clairtangency (clear touch know as psychometry)

    We can SEE with the Minds EYE, the 3rd eye
    We can have a vision, idea, or inspiration come through to help you to see a solution, it may show as an image or simply an awareness.  When we dream our eyes are closed and we see with our MIND eye, when we are awake we see with our physical eyes. When we meditate we see with our mind eye.

    We can see and communicate intuitively (with conscious awareness) be being able to intepret our thoughts, emotions, sensory awareness of energy vibrations. We pick up the vibes that speak to us.

    We can see intuitively through the MIRROR of LIFE… see what life is reflecting back to you.
    life is always showing aspects of yourself, these are clues and messages. What are you sensing about a person? Eg if a person is saying something but you get an ill feeling, your intuitionis talking to your to pay attention. What is it about this person or situation? What is your intuition trying to convey to you? Pay attention, look, listen, OBSERVE.

    We can see intuitively through introspection, awareness and understanding of ones own mental and emotional state of being. .. awareness of how we feel, what we currently understand about ourselves and the outside world, and how we are responding or reacting to life.

    We can see intuitively by Meditating, by being curious, asking questions, observing, contemplating, reflecting and exploring meditation will help you to discover more about who you are and who you are becoming. Conversations with your higher self, or Soul Self can reveal so much. Tuning into your sensory awareness and allowing the messages and soul guidance to come through.

    3 Where can we feel intuitively?

    Feeling the vibes of truth.
    Everything is vibrational energy in motion. We sense these vibrations in many ways. It could be an awareness, like a sudden sense of curiosity to question something, or the urge to pause and check in with our higher self. It could be a physical sensation, like a sudden shiver through the body, or a feeling of off balance.

    Intuition shows up in many ways. It is a sense that something feels right or does not feel right to you. It could be about a situation, a person, something that is being said, a decision you are making, an idea, a statement.

    Each person can experience truth differently, the most common ways to feel intuitively are
    Gut instincts, butterflies, or angry bees in the stomach, excitement or fear.
    Truth bumps show up on the skin that look like goosebumps
    Hairs on arms stand up on ends
    A sudden shiver or sense of fear, anxiety, or apprehension, that makes us feel out of sorts.
    Freeze- Feel like you just stopped in your tracks, maybe your eyes stare or hold their gaze
    Feels like an alarm or red flag grabbing your attention.
    A sudden change in temperature
    An awareness of a presence beside you
    Sensing heat on a shoulder or a part of your body
    Picking something up physically and not wanting to hold it or being drawn to physically touch something.

    When you begin to sense these sudden reactions in the body, or have an awareness that something does not align or add up, or something simply makes you be more curious to ask questions, pay attention. What is happening in that moment, where are you, who are you with, what are you doing, what is being said, what are you feeling, what are you experiencing and sensing?

     We can see intuitively through our Head, Heart and Hara centres, these are our thinking, feeling and action centers
    TUNE into Head, Heart, Hara, be aware of what you are thinking, feeling and what your gut intsincts are telling you.
    What is your intuition sensing?

    4 How can we receive intuitive guidance?

    We can receive guidance in many ways, Subconsciously or consciously.
    I refer to this communication as SOUL WHISPERS, In the stillness we can hear our SOUL WHISPERS
    when we quieten our minds and tune into our hearts and souls, we can experience the gentleness and loving vibrations of our soul self. Tune into your inner wisdom so you can live your life on purpose with purpose, easily and effortlessly, through synchronicity. Allow your intuition to guide you and trust your intuition implicitly.

    Consciously we can go within and communicate with our higher selves
    Or I call it “go direct to source”
    We can meditate, journal, or engage in introspection and reflection.
    We can ask ourselves questions, or ask our Soul for insights and messages.
    We can ask to be shown our truth, ideas, and solutions.
    We can ask for guidance and surrender to allow the answers to flow.
    We can communicate with any part of our body or aspect of our being.
    We can connect with ourselves in any lifetime, past or present., to receive guidance or inspiration.
    Active listening when we speak, hear and feel the words we speak in our mind and from out mouth
    PRESENCE< be present in the moment. Be aware of your thoughts, emotions, actions, as well as all your sensory awareness and perceptions. What are you preceiving or aware of in this moment.
    Observe yourself and others,

    We can invite our guides and Angels to be with us and help steer us for our highest good.
    We can connect with past loved ones for guidance and maybe have conversations we did not have when they were alive. Now they are in a place of Pure love compassion and understanding, free of judgment, anger, resentment, or criticism, so these Soul conversations will be informative.

    Subconsciously we are receiving messages intuitively all the time, we are just not aware of them.
    We are not able to recognize what life is showing us, what our Soul is trying to communicate to us.
    It is our responsibility to expand our self awareness and be able to recognize for ourselves consciously what our Soul guidance is communicating to us.

    Be on the lookout for intuition communicating to you in one or some of the following ways.
    Repeating patterns or repeating words or images. Sometimes I hear a phrase in a song that keeps repeating and I keep singing, so I sit with it and see how that fits in my own equation, what is this showing me about myself? I explore words and phrases for clarity and deeper understanding.

    Animals You may see a cow three times, whether in real life or a picture, you may realize wow a cow keeps coming to my awareness. What does that represent? You may even dream about a cow.
    To help intepret what animals represent look them up in the book Animal Spirit Guides by Steven D. Farmer PhD.

    Dreams are one of the most powerful ways to get insights and messages. Upon awakening journal your dreams, not the whole story just the main points, for example, house, rainbow, pig. They may be random, or they may be connected and make sense. Then interpret your dreams either by journalling and asking for clarification, or looking them up in the book The Dream Book by Betty Bethard

    Numbers are a language that holds insights and messages. I often get numbers as messages
    a great resource on line is https://sacredscribesangelnumbers.blogspot.com/p/index-numbers.html

    Songs can messages, a random song may pop into your head and you start singing. A few weeks ago I heard and started singing out aloud “Happiness, Happiness, the greatest thing that I possess. I thank my Soul that I possess, more than my share of Happiness’ a song I heard as a kid by Ken Dodd. The present situation was quite a downer, things were not going too well.. as soon as I started singing this the dynamics and energy of our group suddenly changed to fun. It was a great reminder of how to stay upbeat. All was ok, Ego was just complaining for a moment and it was a way to get out of Ego and appreciate where we were and how fortunate we were in that moment. Intuition can be communicating to help uplift you.

    Body language can guide you to insights. Illness or injuries can show up. Communicating with your body can give you insights, listen to your body, if it aches pay attention, ask what it needs to restore balance and harmony. The book The Secret language of your Body by inna Segal is a great resource.
    I know when my right kneee give me jip, something is about to change in my life, usually a major move, it could be physical or energetic. Currently my knee is bothering and trying to get my attention.

    Soul whispers can be simplistic ways to guide you back to Happiness and keep you on track with your Soul purpose and mission. Soul whispers will help you find answers to your questions, inspire you to live your life from heart and Soul, give you access to infinite consciousness, possibilities, and potential, and will always communicate with you. Sometimes it is so subtle you miss the signs or messages.

    I ask that my messages come through clear,  with a clarity that I will understand. I get most of mine abstractly, through numbers, images, phrases, songs, journaling, dreams, and meditation.

    Sometimes when people are in the shower or in nature they get most of their messages, everyone is different. Pay attention to when you receive your and how you receive them.

    Messages will show up many times, or get louder. Illness is your body shouting at you, getting fired from a job, or a relationship ending can also be messages to pay attention and go within for answers.

    Intuition is making conscious what is not conscious to you currently

    Intuition creates conscious awareness.

    5 What blocks us from receiving information?

    Mostly Ego gets in the way of intuition. Ego operates on logic, it is dualistic, right wrong, big small. Ego is always trying to fit everything into tidy boxes. Always putting things away and storing information. If it is not logical it ignores it or discards it as NON-SENSE. Ego is important to us and has a role to play,  but controlling us is not one of them. Having an open mind and learning to understand Ego is essential to allowing intuition to flow effortlessly.

    Not logical – Soul helps you to make sense of the non sense and by trusting it, even though sometimes there is no logic, it will guide you for your highest purpose.

    Beliefs and old programming or habits get in the way.

    Past experiences, whether successful or unsuccessful can predetermine actions thus ignoring what intuition is communicating to you.

    Ignoring the clues or messages because not paying attention or missing them completely.

    NOT acting on the messages received.

    Not trusting intuition or gut feelings in the moment.

    Having a closed mind, not willing to be open to anything that is not tangible.

    Influenced by others’ beliefs or a conflict of beliefs of others or your own.

    Fear of making wrong choices, go with what appears to be logical.

    Fear of being different from friends or family

    Being too busy, getting caught up in daily dramas

    Narrow-mindedness, not willing to explore new options

    Impatience, giving up because you did not get an answer right away. Perhaps it is not time for it, when the time is right, when you are ready, the answers will show up.

    RECOGNIZE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EGO AND SOUL-SPEAKING

    EGO Logic makes a list of what ifs, would have could have should have. It second-guesses everything.
    EGO always wants to be right and is self serving.
    Ego competes and compares, it criticizes and judges.
    EGO mind is head controling everything, ignoring intuition and gut instincts, Logic wins.

     

    SOUL guides you lovingly, there may be some hard lessons to experience, and difficult situations to navigate in life but when you trust your soul, remember, you will always be guided for your highest good. There is always a silver lining to clouds, always an answer toSoul will always guide you to stay true to yourself, true to your life path, true to your life purpose and true to your mission. Life will become synchronistic and flow with ease and grace. You will always find your answers, go within  and ask for guidance.

    TIPs

    I work intuitively, I write intuitively and I speak intuitively. I allow words to flow through me as me.

    Today for this podcast I began with Ego – my logic mind, I looked at the questions and began to work out how I would answer them.  Then intuition took over and I began to write what I was guided to write.
     I know when Ego is talking (Bossing – telling what to do) and when soul is speaking (Guiding me)

    When I speak I cannot work scripted, I cannot have exactly what I am to say, I speak intuitively I allow the words to come through me in the moment. I have the concepts I am to talk about them tune in to my inner self to be guided by Soul when it is my turn to speak.  

    Practice, practice, practice.
    There are many opportunities to practice tuning into your inner wisdom and opening your communication channels.

    Being aware of Ego/Soul talk is a great help, being able to distinguish between the two energies. Many people ask how do I know if it is Ego or soul talking… that you have to practice for yourself.

    Ego often feels heavy and fearful, demanding, or sharp.

    Soul is a much lighter energy, that feels invigorating, exciting, motivating, energizing.

    Fear and excitement have the same feelings, butterflies in the tummy. Pay attention are they butterflies or angry bees? Are they trying to get your attention to say something is not quite right?

    Find out which of the clairs is your way of sensing, pay attention, do you hear the non physical, do you see beyond the phsyical etc.

    I am mostly claircognizant, I get a knowing or understanding. I do not see spirits but I know they are present, I sometimes sense a presence or heat around my soulders. I sometimes say things with such conviction and directness that I know it is not me or Ego speaking. It is a very definite sentence, the tone of my voice will have subtle change.

    Muscle Testing can guide you intuitively and validate a decision. By making statements, your body will recognize what is true for you.No second or third tries. Take the first response, as the first response is your intuition/soul speaking.

    When making purchases, often you begin with Ego, what you want or don’t want, then all of a sudden your list goes out the window and you say “This is for me” it can happen when buying a house or car. All of a sudden it just feels right, it feels like that one, that’s your inner soul recognizing truth for you.

    EASY FLOW LIVING – when you live an intuitively inspired life, life happens for you, life becomes synchronistic, and life flows with ease. You become a magnet for living your most authentic life filled with Joy, LOVE and abundance. Everything is aligned, you live your purpose and fulfill your mission.
    Intuition brings clarity to everything, it helps you to realize for yourself what is true for you, it takes away the doubts and fears of what is best for you, as you learn to trust and surrender to your intuition to guide you.

    EVOLVE WITH EASE – when you expand your awareness, learn your lessons, embrace your experiences, and gain your wisdom, you will evolve with ease. You meet every experience from a place of love, compassion, and understanding. You surrender and free yourself of being driven by EGO, remove all resistance, doubts, and fears to be able to live life “free to be you”
    You become more self reliant, resilient and confident.

    EMBODY YOUR TRUE SELF – when you become your true self, others no longer define you or control you; you make your own decisions aligned with your purpose and mission; make wise choices guided by your intuition; lead by example by walking your talk and inspiring others; trust your inner knowing to lead and guide you, surrender and allow life to flow to you. You become your true authentic self.

    TRUST YOUR INTUITION and live an inspired life = EASY FLOW LIVING is LIVING  LIFE –
    Aligned with your true authentic self, to fulfill your life mission
    With clarity of who you are and how you can serve humanity
    Authentically and with integrity
    Trusting your inner voice and gut instincts to alert and guide you
    With the ability to stay focused and live in the present moment, awake and aware
    Standing strong in your own decisions, not defined or controlled by others
    Being curious and asking questions for yourself and of yourself.
    Surrendering and allowing life to flow with synchronicity, living with flow
    Free to be yourself and to always be yourself unapologetically
    Infused with inspiration, motivation, creativity and open to possibilities,
    Experiencing and realizing your own true potential in this lifetime
    Connected and comunicating with Source
    Actioning the messages received from intuitive resources, through writing, meditaions, messages or Clues that show up in everyday life. It could be a song, poem, phrase heard,… anything
    Listening to your inner voice not Ego
    Recording your dreams and interpreting them
    Paying attention to the present moment with expanded awareness and understanding
    Being open to whatever life presents and accepting it as the perfect experience for you at this moment
    Being aware of the 4 levels of consciousness To me, By me, Through me, and AS ME
    Being aware of REIKI precepts, Just for Today and reading ENERGY of the moment and people
    Trusting your own vibes and being able to sense the vibes around you to see if they are aligned.
    Going within for answers, connecting to your Soul Spark, your inner self.
    Knowing that what goes out has a ripple effect in the outside world.
    Intuitive people are very conceptual, they have an easy way of explaining things.

  • Energetic Evolution – we are all energy.

    We are the same frequencies of Light, Colour, and Sound
    We are the ESSENCE of LOVE, TRUTH, and CONSCIOUSNESS
    We are PURE SPIRIT experiencing Life in this human form.
    We are all EXPERIENCING the DUALITY and POLARISATION
    of EGO and SOUL
    We are all feel the effects of Karma and are responsible/accountable for our own actions.
     
    WE ALL HAVE A PURPOSE TO SIMPLY “BE” WHO WE CAME HERE TO BE,
    which means, some came to live from Ego, some to live from HEART.
    This is the yin yang effect of opposites and extremes, the duality, and the polarised.
    hot/ cold, evil /good, control /out of control… judgement/ accepting,
    forcing/ embracing, resistance /easy flow. etc
     
    The dynamics  of life that we have all been experiencing lately,
    is  how EGO has been driving humanity and the effects of being driven by Ego.
    Ego cannot control humanity, try as it may, it cannot sustain itself.
    It incites wars and perpetuates fighting amongst each other that only destroy and diminish life.
     
    Man and Ego work from a limited thought process and are confined to always “be better” than the rest;
    in control of everything, greedy, manipulative, demanding, insensitive, cruel.
    Man is not more poweful than Mother Nature or the UNIVERSE.
     
    Balancing… yin and yang together is wholeness.
    We cannot have one without the other, they co-exist as one.
    just like the two sides of the coin = together they are the coin.
     
    Learning to live with Ego but not be controlled by Ego
    is a process many are discovering for themselves.
    Ego has its place and serves a purpose.
    It is our responsiblity to learn how to navigate Ego and work in harmony with it.
     
    ENERGETIC EVOLUTION-
    The pendulum is shifting and we are moving towards a SOUL GUIDED humanity.
    Living from Heart and Soul, with kindness, benevolence, and sovereignty.
    Living in harmony with each other, facing challenges, creating solutions, together, for the benefit of everyone.
    Living inspired, intuitively, inclusively, encouraging each other to succeed; encouraging creativity, expression; encouraging innovation.
     
    LOVE COMPASSION UNDERSTANDING is the foundation and essence of who we really are.
    Our Souls are sparks of the universe, they are the same energies, frequencies and vibrations that exist in everything. This is our connectedness, our connection to source. (Universe God, Creator)
    We are all of the same source, we are ONE.
     
    We are reminded that the outer world is really showing us
    what we are experiencing within our own internal world…
    the battles we have within our own minds..
    the beliefs we are forcing upon ourselves…
    the limits we set for ourselves..
    being afraid and arguing opinions
    forcing yourself to be someone you are not,
    just to fit in or pelase others.
     
    THE OLD PARADIGMS that have been ruling us are no longer working.
    Life is changing, and though it may seem like chaos it is shaking the very essence of humanity
    and waking people up to realize, hey.. I AM LOVE, PEACE and JOY at the very core of my being
    I AM CONSCIOUSNESS, TRUTH and PURE LOVE
     
    What I create within me will expand into my external world.
    This is the ENERGETIC EVOLUTION
    realizing we are all energy in motion and we each have the responsibility
    for ourselves to create those vibes within us.
     
    We each contribute to humanity and living peacefully.
    We each contribute to creating JOY in the world.
    We each contribute to the wellbeing of humanity.
     
    WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP HUMANITY?
    GO within and connect to your HEART and SOUL
     
    STOP
    Fighting yourself
    Limiting yourself
    Lying to yourself
    Manipulating yourself
    Being afraid
    Doubting your intuition
     
     
    START
    LOVING yourself and TREATING yourself with kindness

  • Embrace Life from a SOUL Perspective

     

    How you “see” life will determine
    how you navigate each day.
    From a Soul perspective
    we are ALL ONE
    We are Eternal Omnipotent beings
    with Infinite potential and Limitless possibilities.
    We are here to experience Life,
    to learn, grow and to EVOLVE,
    As we learn we evolve,,,
    if we do not learn from our experiences
    life will repeat itself over and over
    until we change our perspective and learn to navigate
    from a SOUL PERSPECTIVE, not EGO.
    AS ONE Humanity
    We are here to learn LOVE , COMPASSION and UNDERSTANDING.
    HERE and NOW.
    To BE PRESENT with presence
    HERE and NOW
    To Co CREATE UNITY
    HERE and NOW
    To ACCEPT, EMBRACE, ALLOW
    HERE and NOW
    To live form HEART and SOUL
    HERE and NOW
    To FREE ourselves from LIMITATIONS and EXPECTATIONS
    HERE and NOW
    To RESOLVE and DISSOLVE past traumas,
    Old Beliefs, Programs, and Patterning
    HERE and NOW
    To AWAKEN to our TRUTH
    HERE and NOW
    To BECOME SELF AWARE and REGAIN our SOVEREIGNTY
    HERE and NOW
    To TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for oneself
    HERE and NOW
    To BECOME the OBSERVER and step out of the DRAMA
    HERE and NOW
    To Live LIFE in JOY, PEACE and BLISS
    HERE and NOW
    To live in BALANCE and HARMONY
    HERE and NOW
    SOUL POWERED- Life is happening FOR US, to help us EVOLVE
    EGO POWERED – Life is happening TO us, I have no choice or input.
    What we see on the outside, is really a REFLECTION of what we are experiencing within ourselves and what we ourselves are PROJECTING into the outside world.
    What we are seeing is like a movie playing out FOR US, so that we can see ourselves, for ourselves.
    It is easier to see the movie, than to try to see the movie when you are in it.
    Which is why we say, “The answers are always within”
    Go within to connect, communicate, and create.
    What we create within us, is the world we experience around us.
    If, we live with Love Compassion and understanding,
    we will experience a life of Love, compassion and understanding
    If we live a life of judgment, criticsm, division, blame, EGO
    we will experience a life full of EGO
    Remember
    What you put out, comes right back to you.
    What you think, how you behave, sculpts your life
    If you wish to change the world you live in,
    start within yourself.

  • Infuse Kindness into every action

     

     

    Kindness is LOVE in action.
    It is a voluntary choice
    to be considerate, caring, nurturing,
    towards others, self, and the world.
    Kindness is given from the heart.
    It is a smile, a gesture, sincerity
    It is often unspoken,
    only felt with the heart.
    Being kind to others
    helps them feel valued
    Being kind to yourself
    helps you feel worthy.
    Kindness is contagious
    it gathers momentum
    as it spreads around the world.
    Just like a snowball
    kindness gathers momentum
    as it touches everything along the way.
    Kindness can change the world.
    Kindness can change our lives
    Infuse KINDNESS into everything
    you say, or do.
    FEEL the warmth
    FEEL the LOVE.
    Starting TODAY
    lets ALL create waves of kindness
    and infuse the world with LOVE.

  • Love Compassion and Understanding

     

    Love Compassion and Understanding.

    When we can meet every experience with Love Compassion and Understanding, we have learned our lessons.

    When we continue to resist or do not learn from an experience, it will keep repeating until we do learn. It may show up in many different forms, or through many different experiences, but the core lesson will always be the same.

     

  • Be the Observer

     

    Observe –  Objective
    Pay attention to; take notice; be watchful; be present but take no part in what is happening.

    Observation – . Soul driven.
    facts collected; facts are the truth. Neutral, no bias or agenda

    Judge – Subjective
    Form an opinion or give an opinion; estimate worth; come to a decision. Bias based, competition, comparison.

    Judgment – EGO driven.
    An opinion; power of discrimination; faculty of mental perception; criticism.

    Be the Observer, be able to recognize when Take a step back, step out of the equation and observe what is happening to you and around you. It is from this vantage point that you will be able to see the bigger picture.

     OPINIONS
    Everyone has FREE WILL to think for themselves.
    Everyone has an opinion – their own thoughts, perspectives, or beliefs based on their own experiences and knowledge gained.

    Their opinion is THEIR OPINION…. FULL STOP.
    Their business is THEIR BUSINESS…FULL STOP.

    Thats it, we each have our own and its OK. It is simply an opinion, a perspective. Full Stop.

    Set yourself FREE. Only if you allow others opinions to affect you will they have any control or influence over you. You do not have to agree, disagree, defend, convert, comment, approve, or disapprove. Thank you for sharing your opinion.

    Yes I have my own opinion, thank you for asking.

    Will I share it? No, not always. What I think and feel is my business, it may be similar, it may be different and that`s ok. Sometimes it is a matter of agree to disagree; simply accepting each others opinion. without trying to convince one or the other that theirs/yours is more important, right or wrong. Only when we get caught up in Ego do we create issues, arguments or get offended.

    Ego always wants to be right or defend itself. It is ok to have different opinions

  • Be the change you want to be

     

     

    It is important to realize that if you want to make changes in your life, you must begin on the inside first. The outside world is a mirror reflection of your inner world.

    If there is chaos on the outside, look within to see what chaos you are experiencing in your own life and within yourself; what chaos you are experiencing within your own world; what chaos within your thoughts and emotions. Check in with your own contradictions, perhaps you say one thing but do the opposite, for example I will stop eating a certain food, then you eat some at the first opportunity.

    If there is confusion, look within to see how you are confusing yourself, maybe you have mixed emotions or cannot make a decision, maybe you want to do something but are afraid to try.

    When we want to change something in our own life, be it where we live, our jobs, our friends, ourselves, attitudes or habits, we often start with a desire or wish, then visualize what it may look and feel like, collect pictures, make a vision board or start saying affirmations to help create a focus on the desired outcome.

    What many people do not realize is that

    WE must BE THE CHANGE. We must be the catalyst that creates the action to bring about the changes we desire. Nothing happens unless we do something. It is our own responsibility.

    What does that mean ?

    First, it means we have to be willing to change.

    Second, have a clear detailed vision of what the end result would look and feel like.

    Third, start thinking, knowing and trusting it is already on its way or it already exists.

    Fourth, take action steps to make it happen. Each day take steps that will bring your desires closer. Taking one step is better than no steps. We do what we can with what we have, NOW, TODAY.

    If we want to be a square, we can no longer be a circle. When we change the inside first, the outside will follow. If we want to be loved, we must give love, starting with ourselves. If we want to be appreciated, we must start appreciating ourselves. We create our own happiness in life.

  • Invisible, Visible Me

     

     

    We are more than just our physical bodies, the physical is the visible us, the rest is the invisible.

    The four aspects of our Spirit /Body need to be balanced in order to create good health and wellness, self healing, peace, joy, happiness. Just like the four legs on a chair, each one is equally important and depends on each other. If one leg is missing, the chair is off balance and cannot function properly.

    FREE WILL and FREEDOM TO CHOOSE enables us to EVOLVE or stay the way we are.
    Question is Are you happy ?- YES / NO

     

           THE VISIBLE YOU    1/4 of your being

    THE BODY – is your physical body and your  five senses which enable you to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch the physical world.

    Needs – good nutrition, beneficial exercise, adequate rest, fresh air and water.

     

           THE INVISIBLE YOU     3/4 of your being

    EMOTIONAL ENERGY FIELD – your feelings that range from Fear and Anger to Love and Joy,

    Needs – to give and receive love, forgiveness; compassion, empathy; to laugh and experience joyful relationships with self and others; to experience and process all emotions freely.

    MENTAL ENERGY FIELD – your thoughts, attitudes, beliefs intellect, knowledge, imagination, analytical self, programming, patterning  and habits.

    Needs – supportive attitudes, beliefs, positive constructive thoughts or viewpoints, positive self-image. meditation, calming the chitter chatter by quietening the chaos in the mind.

    SPIRIT ENERGY FIELD – your essence and sense of being; your relationship with yourself, your creativity, your life purpose; your relationship with a Higher Power, the Universe, Source, Creator or GOD. whichever term you choose to use to describe Life force or Life source; connected to all that is.

    Needs –  peace, calmness, intuition, awareness, openness to your own creativity, inspiration, inner knowing, understanding, and connection to your Heart and Soul.

    When all needs are met ALL aspects are able to work harmoniously and effortlessly with each other in synchronization to create the healthiest, happiest and most EMPOWERED YOU.

  • Which “Healing Path” to take?

     

    In the past, when faced with making decisions on which is the best Healing Path to take and which medicine is the most effective to take, most people only had two choices Traditional Western Medicines or Alternative Medicines. We had to choose one or the other as they did not always work well together. This was sometimes a difficult decision to make and was often based on fear, “What if this does not work, what if this does not agree with me, what if I make the wrong choice, what are the side effects, what shall I do, which is the best choice for me? “

    Today we are fortunate to have  many choices available to us that will work effectively with both Traditional and Alternative Healing Medicines. These choices are referred to as Complementary Therapies, they can work independently on their own or can be used to complement, enhance and support Traditional or Alternative medicines.

    Complementary Therapies aim to heal the whole person, they are sometimes referred to as Wholistic or Holistic Medicine. These therapies are based on the body`s innate ability to heal itself, the interaction between the body, mind, and soul, and the interconnection of the energy systems within the physical and non physical body sometimes referred to as Chi or Prana.

    Complementary Therapies help us to understand –
    -how we function on an energetic level,
    -how our thoughts, words and deeds impact us,
    -how our emotions, past pains, and traumas are stored within us,
    -the importance of releasing and letting go of these past issues,
    -the importance of achieving and maintaining good health,
    -how our underlying belief systems limit us,
    -how our intentions can make a difference in the results we achieve,
    -how we can be more involved in our own healing process,
    -that we have more options to choose from.

    Complementary Therapies share some philosophies  –
    -illness occurs when the body is out of balance or dis(at)ease,
    -The body can heal itself and maintain a healthy state if given the right conditions,
    -The whole person should be treated, not just the disease or the symptoms,
    -The gentlest of therapies must be tried first before harsher ones,
    -There is no quick fix, since healing and balance take time,
    -Natural products are preferable to synthetic ones,
    -The only person that can heal you – is you, practitioners can only assist you,
    -Love and laughter is the best medicine- if not working quickly enough
    then increase the dosage,
    -You must keep all your health care providers informed of your choices to ensure that you
    are using your medicines and treatments safely.

    Complementary Therapies teach us  –
    -to focus more on what we can do for ourselves,
    -to take more responsibility for our lifestyle choices,
    -how everyday items can be used to help the healing process,
    -how colours, touch, sounds, smells, taste can contribute to our well being,
    -many simplistic, effective techniques that we can implement for ourselves,
    -how to create our own combination of health care systems available to us,
    -to trust in our inner knowing, instincts and intuition,
    -that some of the oldest of remedies are as still as effective today,
    -that sometimes what seems impossible can become possible,
    -to discover more about ourselves and what we can achieve for ourselves.

    What I like most about complementary therapies is that we have opportunities to study and learn how to implement these techniques for ourselves.  Some courses offer certification to become a practitioner so that we may help or assist others as well as ourselves, some courses offer certification to become a teacher. Some practitioners have spent years studying their profession in order to become qualified to practice or teach what they have learned.

    The increasing use of complementary therapies has begun to trigger scientific research which is now producing scientific evidence about their safety and effectiveness, as well as historical data. Technology can now see energy fields by using Kirlian photography; it can record the changes in electromagnetic energy when a practitioner works on a client; it can see the vibrational patterns created by sound and watch as they create wonderful geometric designs that change when the sound is altered. Sometimes, these therapies are less invasive and more cost-effective than conventional medical treatments. Nonetheless, it’s still important to ask about both potential benefits and potential harms of any therapy. All practitioners recognize and respect the medical profession and will always encourage clients to seek medical advice for possible options and choices available.

     

    Complementary Therapy Practitioners – how to find the right one for you
    -Ask friends and work colleagues for word of mouth referrals,
    -Ask your doctor or pharmacist for a referral,
    -Research local listings for holistic practitioners in your area,
    -Research the therapy by name and look for list of recognized practitioners,
    -Contact the professional association closest to you and ask for members,
    -Look for healing fairs or wellness fairs in your area and explore the event,
    -During your first visit ask the practitioner about their training and qualifications,
    -Ask your practitioner if they teach or where you can learn more for yourself,
    -Choose a practitioner who willingly shares their knowledge and teaches you
    how  you can implement some of the techniques for yourself.
    -Choose a practitioner or teacher whose main goal is to help you empower yourself and
    not be dependent on their services,
    -Choose a practitioner or teacher you feel comfortable with, someone with whom you are
    willing and able to be open, honest and candid with,
    -Choose a practitioner who is willing to help you find answers and solutions, even if they need
    to refer you to another practitioner who is better qualified or better able to help you,
    -Choose a practitioner who you feel will respect your privacy and confidentiality and can trust.
    -Choose a practitioner or teacher who supports you and genuinely cares.

    Complementary Therapies can be grouped together, they can be
    Boiologically based – such as herbs, botanicals, vitamins, organic based, probiotics, nutrition.
    Energy based – such as Reiki, accupuncture, energy medicine, electromagnetic forces, sound, colour, vibrations, biofields, kinesiology, acupuncture,

  • Thoughts, words and deeds have a vibration too

     Florence Scovel Schinn    – over 100 years ago
           Florence Scovel Schinn understood that
           our Thoughts, Words and Deeds are 
           made up of vibrations of energy. 

     

    FlorenceScovel Shinn   1871 – 1940   

    An artist and metaphysical teacher in New York in the early part of the 20th century.
     Her writings and teachings are as applicable today as they were when they were written
    almost 100yrs ago.

    I would like to share some thoughts about a book that was loaned to me several years ago, called “The Game of Life”    by Florence Scovel Shinn.

    Also check the web for more info and insight about other books written by Florence. 

    Up until now I have learned a lot about how our thoughts and words are in fact frequencies of sound and vibrations and how if we become aware of these we can consciously choose the vibrations we send out. We are like sonar beacons and what we send out will indeed come back to us. If we change our thoughts and perceptions and align them with the perfect good that is within each of us, then we will have the ability to change anything we choose to change in our life. 

    Energetically thinking has become a large part of my teachings and coaching, helping clients and students realize the importance of their thoughts, words and deeds. The Game of Life is a great book to read as it explains the process very well. 

    Upon reading this book I discovered that this lady, Florence Scovel Shinn presented almost 100 yrs ago, the philosophies and teachings that we are only now becoming aware of and putting into action. Most people have only been made aware through the media with the help of Esther and Jerry Hicks, Jonathan Goldman, Steven Halpearn, Law of Attraction, The Secret, Michael Lossier, Louise Hay and the many people Hay House has published,  Reiki and other alternative or complimentary therapies which apply the principle of “Energy follows Thought” and that use INTENTIONS. 

    100 yrs ago, it was known how our thoughts are instrumental in our health and wellbeing..

    100 yrs ago people were applying these principles and were becoming consciously aware.

    100 yrs ago people were beginning to take charge of their own destiny.

    100 yrs ago there was an understanding of the energy and vibration of thoughts and words. 

    What progress will the next 100 yrs bring.? 

     If, as a nation, we can all understand how to effectively create our own Universe and, how we can all effectively and collectively create a better life, better health, better everything…

        “What a wonderful world this would be”
     

    “Most people consider life a battle, but it is not a battle it is a game.” quotes Florence
    It is a game which cannot be played without the knowledge of spiritual law. It is a game of Giving and Receiving. This means that whatever man sends out in word or deed, will return to him; what he gives he receives. Whatever man images, sooner or later he externalizes in his affairs. 

     Florence talks about the Power of the Word . …

    ” changing conditions by changing the words you use”

    … she says

             “Any man who does not know the power of the word

                   is behind the times”   

      This gave me a chuckle..behind the times.. 1925?

     I wonder what she would say today about our conscious awareness and efforts to improve our lives.  This book was written in 1925 and yet still today so many people are oblivious to how powerful this energetic exchange of thoughts, words, and deeds really is.

     

    The object of The Game of Life is to see clearly ones good and to obliterate mental pictures of evil and failure. This is done by impressing the subconscious mind with a realization of good. 

    “The invisible forces are ever working for man who is always

     “pulling the strings” himself, though he does not know it.
     Owing to the vibratory power of words, whatever man voices, he begins to attract. People who continually speak of disease will invariably attract it”     

    The book explains a lot about the spiritual laws and has many affirmations that can be used to bring about changes in your own life and those around you. It has some references to Bible passages which are then explained metaphysically. I like the fact that Florence explains these metaphysically. 

    Florence makes reference to 3 departments of the mind, the subconscious, the conscious and the superconscious.

    The subconscious is simply power without direction. It is like a stream or electricity and does what it is directed to do. Whatever man feels deeply or images clearly, is impressed upon the subconscious mind, and carried out in the minutest detail.

    The conscious mind has been called the mortal or carnal mind. It is the human mind and sees life as it appears to be. It sees death, disaster, sickness, poverty and limitation of every kind, and it impresses the subconscious.

    The superconsious mind is the GOD mind within each man, and is the realm of the perfect ideas. In it, is the “perfect pattern” spoken of by Plato The Devine Design, for there is a Devine Design for each person

     

    “ There is a place that you are to fill and no one else can fill, something you are to do that no one else can do” 

    Many people are in ignorance of their true destinies and are striving for things and situations which do not belong to them, and would only bring failure and dissatisfaction if attained. 

    Some quotes…. 

    “Getting into the spiritual swing of things is no easy matter for the average person. The adverse thoughts of doubt and fear surge from the subconscious. They are the “army of aliens” which must be put to flight. This explains why it is so often darkest before dawn” 

    “No man can fail if some one person sees him as successful”  Such is the power of the vision 

    “A person knowing the power of the word becomes very careful of his conversation. Through his spoken word man is continually making laws for himself” 

    “What man says of others will be said of him and what he wishes for another, he is wishing for himself. If he wishes to aid someone to success he is wishing and aiding himself to success” 

    “The body may be renewed and transformed through the spoken word and clear vision and disease be completely wiped out of the conscious. The metaphysician knows that all disease has a mental correspondence, and in order to heal one must first heal the soul. The soul is the subconscious mind and must be saved from the …wrongthinking…” 

    “Continual criticism causes rheumatism as critical inharmonious thoughts cause unnatural deposits in the blood which settle in the joints” 

    “False growths are caused by jealousy, hatred, unforgiveness, fear etc. Every disease is caused by a mind not at ease. Unforgiveness is the most prolific cause of disease. It will harden arteries or liver and affect the eyesight.” 

    The enlightened man endeavors to perfect himself, to send out good will and blessings to everyman and the marvelous thing is that if one blesses a man he has no power to harm him” 

    “Goodwill produces a great aura of protection about the one who sends it and no weapon that is formed against him will prosper. In other words…love and good will destroy the enemies within ones self, therefore, one has no enemies on the external. There is peace on earth for him who sends goodwill to man” 

    “There is no competition on the spiritual plane. What is mine is given me under Grace” 

    This inspirational little book helps you to achieve a sense of purpose and belonging through understanding that life is not a battle but a game of giving and receiving.

    “ By studying and practicing the principles laid down in this book, one may find prosperity, solve problems, have better health, and achieve personal relationships, in a word ..WIN… the game of life?”     ….. Dr Norman Vincent Peale 

    Check out this book, discover many affirmations to help you change your life, discover the spiritual Laws, discover how you can help change the world a little piece at a time. 

                                      The game of life is a game of boomerangs –

    our thoughts words and deeds return to us sooner or later with astonishing accuracy.
