I Got Caught Not Practicing Awareness Today

I am usually pretty good at being in the moment, and practicing awareness.  However, the past little while has been a bit of a challenge for me.  I have had tons of stuff going on and I’ve sometimes wondered how I can do it all.

My Aunt passed away on January 8th, after a very brief yet intense illness.  Her and I were very close, she was my mentor, my confidant, my friend.  We had a “Celebration of Life” for her on Sunday.

As I wrote a few weeks ago, my husband broke his leg in September and has been off work since.  He went for surgery yesterday to have pins removed.

Tomorrow, my son has dental surgery for a growth he’s got on his gums.  Likely not too serious, but they have to knock him out and a mom worries anyway.

This Friday night I am participating in a paranormal investigation.  My first with a new P.A.R.A. team.  Very exciting.  I will let you know how it goes once all is said and done.

I’ve had tons of e-mails coming in and I’m working on booking in readings from those that are still on my waitlist.

Over the past while my horse has been slightly neglected.  I say slightly because I keep him at a barn where they take awesome care of him.  He’s well fed, gets put out in the morning to romp around and is brought in and kept warm and dry at night.  I have been trying to get down to exercise him but its been a challenge over the past while.  He grounds me, keeps me in the moment and I can’t help but Practice Awareness when I am with him but I haven’t been to the barn since Saturday.  Over the last month I have only been down to the barn just enough to keep him from going crazy from lack of attention. Thinking that I absolutly must get to see him on Thursday.

So, here I was, this Tuesday morning, I was happily going along my way and getting ready for the day.  I had booked four clients in today starting at 9:30 a.m.  I got up early, had my workout and shower and was having a cup of coffee before taking my son to school.  My husband had to leave the house and needed help with the truck.  I often will help to lift things into or out of the truck with him, normally not a problem.

This particular morning I was feeling a little rushed, seeing how many emails I could answer before my appointments started.  I was thinking about all the things I had to do, the things I had done, what I needed to get done later, and what I could rush through to get to where I wanted to be.  A typical case of rushing around too much and not being in the moment.

So I went outside with my husband and proceeded to grab one side of a very heavy piece of equipment, and halfway through lifting it I got the most intense pain in my back.  Ouch.  I could hardly move.  I hobbled into the house and tried to stretch it out a bit but it didn’t work.  I then popped a couple of Robax Platinum’s hoping that that would help to relax the muscle.

Suffice to say, I ended up cancelling my readings for the day…I couldn’t even get down the stairs to where I do readings, never mind actually sit with someone without wincing or groaning. 

I said to my husband “I wonder if someone is trying to tell me something?”  I must say, I know we create our own “stuff” ~ good and bad.  He pointed out that normally when I am going to lift something like that I stretch and bend and make a big production of limbering up beforehand and today I didn’t. 

I’m a thinker, always looking for a higher meaning to things.  I considered that my higher self didn’t want me to be doing readings today, or that I was meant to be doing something else with my day.

When it comes right down to it though, its just AWARENESS.  I got too much into my head, and autopilot, and rushing to get things done and didn’t take the time to get ready and lift properly.  That’s it.  Not divine intervention, not a curse, not anything, just ME. 

A great reminder for me to be in the moment and Practice My Awareness.

On Death, Crossing-Over and the Grief Process

It can be very hard to lose someone you are close to.  Whether they become sick, or they pass suddenly, it can be a shock to us.

It is even harder for those that do not know that our existence here on earth is just a very small part of who we really are.  We are all born to earth with our own reasons for being here.  Sometimes we consciously know the reason we are here, more often than not we are not aware of it until after our passing.

When you have lost, or are in the process of losing someone you love, please allow yourself to grieve, and allow yourself to be sad.  Grieve for yourself though.  Not necessarily for your loved one.  Your loved one is fine.  Your loved one is not losing anything. Your loved is going home to be in and of the light again.  They have nothing to worry about.

It is those of us left behind that are losing something.  We feel the loss and separation from the person who has left us.  They don’t feel the separation, we do.  When they go home to the light they are more connected than they ever could have been while in the earth energy.

Do not think of what they did not have the chance to do in this lifetime.  No matter what their age, if they are going home, they are done here.  They have completed what they came here to do, and can now go home, knowing that they succeeded with what they came here for.  They can see us here, they can join us for family events if they want to, they are not ‘missing’ anything.

There are many souls that decided to come to earth during this time of change.  Just as they have come to earth during other times of big shifts and change on the earth.  A lot of these souls are now done here.  The change has occurred, there has been a massive shift in the collective consciousness over the past 10 years.  There are many wonderful, loving souls that came here to assist with that.  They are done.  They now get to go home.  You WILL see them again. 

So do not grieve for them.  Do not feel sad for them.  Allow yourself to grieve for yourself, feel sad for your own loss, to say good-bye.  Tears can be cleansing.  Just remember to be sad for the loss of the love and friendship you had with your loved one, for the space they occupied in your life.  Fill that space with love; use prayer, meditation, whatever it takes to help yourself get through the loss.  Just do not grieve for where they are now, because now they are home.

With love and gratitude for the space you all have in my life.

My Mission, Vision and Values

MISSION

To make the world a better place through love.
To write something that will hopefully remind you of your own greatness.
To share and co-create positive experiences with the other players in the game of life.
To collectively, with you, co-create a heaven on earth experience for as many as are willing to experience it.
To create with integrity.
To trust that those who I am meant to connect with will be in my life.

VISION:

The world is a wonderful place already, it is just that so many here don’t remember our Source and where we came from. With my gifts, I see and I know what is at play in the higher realms of our collective existence. It is my vision to share what I know with everyone who is open to hearing it.  You have the knowledge within you.  In your Soul, your DNA, in your very essence of who you are. Hopefully, something of what I write will resonate with you and remind you of where you came from and why you chose to be here.

That we can all remember Love. In tricky situations, think, “What would love do?” Keeping our egos, fears, and need to be right out of the equation.

A world where I can shine my light so others can see it, and they in turn can shine their light for others to see. As we join and shine, our light will be collectively brighter and, in turn, our entire existence and world will be brighter.

That we have compassion and practice non-judgement towards all souls that are on a different path than we are.

To create a sacred space within my blog, where everyone can go and read, and remember…

VALUES:

I love and appreciate every soul on this earth for what they bring with them. Yes, every one…

I appreciate the game of life for what it is. A place to experience, to love, to grow, to create, and to share.

Relationships With Parents

So many of our beliefs and so much of who we are comes from our parents and our upbringing. Even once we have grown up and have our own lives, our parents still have an impact on us. Some more than other’s of course but there’s always something unless you have consciously looked at it and done something about it.

Everything is energy. We have energy cords to everyone and everything that we’ve ever been involved with. We have energy cords to our parents. Some are healthier than others, but usually they are based on inequality.

When thinking about your relationship with your parents, its important to realize that they are just souls having a human experience, just like you. Often we blame our parents for who they were or what they did or how they are. It is time to think about them and the whole experience you have had with them in a new way.

We did chose our parents. Whatever our childhood looked like, it was something our soul wanted to experience for some reason or another. What you do with the entire experience is up to you.

When you can take the label of “parent” off of the Soul that raised you, you can free yourself up to let go of things that no longer serve you on your journey in this life.

Think about who you are and how you are now. You would not be where you are without your parents. Sometimes thinking like this can bring about some resentment. Other times we may feel “our parents or upbringing was perfect”, why the need for release?

Now is the time to see your parent or parents just as they are, Souls having a human experience, just like you are. Think about how old they were when they had you. Think about what it is that they were going through at the time. Think about the era in which they were raised. Think about them as if they were your peer or someone you know now. Think about what you might have done in their EXACT same position. Try not to judge what they did as good or bad. See them as a Soul that was going through whatever they were going through.

Their life is now their journey, not yours. Yes, their journey impacted you, (likely in a very big way), but you are your Own Soul on your Own path. What will you do with what you have now? With your life? If you childhood was what you would judge as “negative”, try and see how it made you who you are today. Did your parents have a “bad” childhood too? What were their parents like? What can you do NOW, for yourself, to let go of the past and move forward from here?

If your upbringing was “good” and you think of your parents as perfect, how is that impacting you now? Does it make you feel good? Does it make you feel that you aren’t or can’t be as good of a parent as they are? Not that it matters…. all these things are judgements, and we are not here to judge. So just let it go, be who you ARE, and who you want to be.

Is it really serving your Highest and Best Good to hang onto the relationship the way it has been up to this point? Would it not be more beneficial, and perhaps easier if you were able to let go of what came before. Let go of the need for approval from your parents? Forgive them if they made mistakes?

Often on our journey, if we can cut the old energy cords to our parents we can move on from here. This involves releasing anything that you are hanging onto that is no longer serving you.

This does not mean that you need to cut yourself off from your parents completely. Far from it. What it means is that you cut the old energy cords. The ones that have your parent on a pedestal, or that imply that your parents know everything, or know nothing, or are smarter, better or dumber than you. Any judgements that you have of your parents as human beings. Any feelings that these judgements bring.

Sometimes as we grow older, we think we know what is best for our parents now. How they could change their life for the better. We take over the role of telling them what to do. That is not our job either. Remember they are a Soul on their own journey. If you have healthy energy cords between you, you are able to let them continue living their own life, without judging what they are doing. Allow them to do what they need to do, even if it seems “wrong” or “hard” to you.

Try it. Cut the energy cords to your parents in the form that they are now. See your parent as a Soul. Allow more healthy, equal, energy cords to form. Or if your relationship with your parents is something that you chose to let go of completely, then simply do not allow new energy cords to take form – not with judgements or anger. The minute you get angry or judge that your parents Soul does not deserve to have an exchange of energy with you, you are actually reinforcing judging and anger energy cords. Send love in their general direction and let it go. There’s no need to hang on. If you can’t let go, then perhaps counselling to deal with your old issues is in order.

The choice is yours, but no matter what your decide – it is YOUR decision. What do you want to create for yourself?

Now

Just a little something to think about today.

Most of the human race lives in any time but the present.

We walk around talking and thinking about what happened – before now.

• What someone did to us
• how we blew an interview
• how we hurt someone
• what we “should have done” in a certain situation

Or……….we talk and think about “one day…………”

• we think “one day I will have the home I want”, rather than trying to make our existing home a comforting and welcoming place.
• we work so many hours so that one day we can spend time with our families. Meanwhile, our children grow up and leave home. By the time we have time they are gone.

This is not to say our past cannot help us to learn. Sometimes we need to remember things so that we do not repeat painful mistakes.
We may need to think of our future to the point that we don’t behave recklessly.

There is nothing wrong with avoiding painful relationships because of what we have learned. There is nothing wrong with saving up money for a house.

But really the only thing we have fore certain, 100% of the time, without fail, is the moment we are in now. What are you doing with your moment?
