Letting Go.

Letting Go.

It is easy to let something go.

Sometimes we feel it is very difficult to let things go. We hold on to it (whatever "it" is) because of some emotional attachment we have to it. 

I would like you to think of the things that you have let go of already in your life, even things that you didn’t necessarily want to let go of. I know we have all let go of many things, things such as - anxiety, fear, past relationships, resentment, negative thought patterns, jobs we disliked, bad habits, depression, stress, emotional connections, friendships and businesses – even old ways of thinking. 

You did it - many of, if not all of those types of things you let go in the past, and you know what? 

You can do it again.

The choice to stay attached to something that is unhealthy for our Spirit, body or emotions is just that – an attachment. 

At any point in time, you can say to yourself – I let *this* go. 

And that is it!

Now this doesn’t mean that you are going to love the choice of letting go of a bad habit or an unhealthy relationship. Remember when we live our lives in an intellectual manor – rather than attached to unhealthy emotions about something not good for us – then we are living in a truthful and loving manor to ourselves. 

Know that it is a choice. We can choose to let go of something - in the most loving and kind way that we can sort out, or we can create a lot of other negative emotions such as worry or stress or anger when letting go – that too is a choice.

It is also true that when we let go of things that are not of our highest good – then we really are opening a space up in our lives for something that is. Funnily enough that new thing could even be that the very thing you are letting go of. 

Sometimes what you release turns out to be what you need, in which case it will come back to you. 

For instance owning your own business and feeling you are charging too much for your service - then you let go of that idea and realize you are really not charging enough. So you raise your prices and wind up selling more things than before - why you ask? Because people feel that energy and respect you have for yourself to ask for what you are worth! Holding on to limiting ideas, is a perfect example of that. 

So is holding on to an unhealthy relationship. If you let go of an unhealthy relationship/friendship then the friend understands - wow I really shouldn't have been uncaring, insensitive, mean, or unloving to this person. Then before you know it your friend or loved one changes their attitude towards you and apologizes. Now I am not saying this always happens, but if it is meant to be - it will.

You really never know what the Universe has in store for you once you let go of something unhealthy for you!

If our time is filled working a job that we really dislike, being in a relationship that is unhealthy or having a friend that is draining – we are allowing our valuable time and valuable energy to be spent on these things, when we could choose to just – let go –. 

So what - if you have to spend some time with yourself, I know being alone is a fear that many people have. Use that time to figure out what really would make you feel happy, fulfilled or loved. In fact I would suggest that we do that anyhow from time to time. 

Spend the day just with you, pampering you, allowing you to feel good, happy, healthy and loved by YOU. 

When you exhibit love for yourself, you are creating the energy of being in love with yourself. I don't mean this in a narcissistic manor, but a healthy manor and you therefore are attracting other things, people, jobs, situations - etc that are also on the same energy pattern as you.

So today -- I am choosing -- and I am letting go of all things that are not healthy for my Spirit.

How about you?

Namaste,

Expect Nothing, Appreciate Everything.

Expect Nothing, Appreciate Everything.

I wanted to share this thought with all of you today. It is something I have kept in my own heart and gently reminded myself of throughout my life.

When we have a simple appreciation for everything in life, from the most major of things to the silliest of things - then we are in a state of bliss.

Even when we are going through the "crap" that life always seems to throw at us... - By learning to find the appreciation for it while you are going through it. That is how we keep feeling that bliss, no matter what stuff is going on around us.

By finding that still quiet side of ourselves (that may be a small part right now) but is in everyone one of our hearts - knowing that nothing. Yes - nothing - can truly allow you to move into a space that is not of love --- UNLESS --- you allow it to - that is when we feel the bliss.

For an example, and I am sure many of you reading this have experienced something similar in your own lives... 

How many times in life have you had an experience that just seemed awful to go through? Then when you reflected on it in the future, you found hidden blessings that came from that experience? I know for me - I can tell you many stories of things happening in my own life that when I finished going through all of it - I reflected and was actually grateful for the experience. Typically when I reflect on a "bad experience", I find some new appreciation or really just feel like, wow, that whole experience is such a blessings because out of it came something wonderful.

I think the trick to this is to be in that state of appreciation and not feel upset or angry or annoyed or any of the other myriad of emotions that come from the ego while going through the negative experience. Just accept all of the stuff that we have to go through, finding that still quiet place and being anchored in that, in your heart - that is the trick to really feeling blissful in your life!

I know this doesn't usually happen for people - in an instant - but why can't it? 

Why can't you just say to yourself - I am done with the drama, anger, judgement, frustration etc etc, and I am flipping the page and starting a new chapter. It really is that simple. When you slice and dice it all up, if you decide to let go of those fearful feelings, those judgements, those things weighing you down  - there really is a moment in time that you simply have to let it go.

Why not let that moment in time be right now?

So why not set a conscious decision for yourself - RIGHT NOW - and get centered in your heart and not let all the perceived problems of the world bog YOU down. That is what really happens when we let the lower side of us take over, we get bogged down and feel bad, or get sick, or whatever negative stuff that happens around us. If you just allow all that stuff to happen, kind of like a movie, and do not engage in the drama of it all, then you start to awaken into this feeling of bliss, this feeling of non-attachment and letting go - it is quite a peaceful place!

When we are in this space of love and appreciation for everything around us, even the crap - our attitudes change, a softening occurs and our hearts open wider allowing the love to flow in and radiates outward.

Many people are searching for that *true love* but have neglected to find that true love for themselves and their surroundings. Therefor they are unable to simply radiate love to find love, or get hooked up in relationships that are destructive because essentially when we let the lower side of ourselves be in control - that is what happens.

Appreciating the love and the negativity - all of it - and not expecting anything other then appreciation and love to flow into your heart - allows us to feel the bliss that comes from being in this state of appreciation.

I know, it seems hard, but it really isn't - it is a choice, we can choose to be blissful through the crap, or we can hold on to that which is all unreal anyway, the lower - ego side of ourselves.

Now, let me be the first to tell you, all this I am speaking is straight from my own experiences and understanding of life in general. I am no saint when it comes to this, but I work on myself continually. I get that we are human beings, we have egos - we will until we die, but we can choose to let the ego side of ourselves be in control - or we can choose to allow ourselves to be happy, blissful and peaceful at any given time. The more that you practice this sort of behavior, the easier it becomes!

Just some pondering's for your morning, afternoon, day or night!

My Business Is Prosperous

My Business Is Prosperous

I got the inspiration for today's blog from a little affirmation card that came from one of Louise Hay's affirmation decks. I love the simplicity of the message but at the same time you can take it to many levels and apply it to your life in general.

So the affirmation on the card goes like this:

My Business is Prosperous

I rejoice in other people's successes because I know there is plenty for everyone.

What comes to my mind after the initial warm fuzzy feeling I get after reading the card is:

The thoughts that we put our focus on.

In my last blog, I spoke about keeping your thoughts on the positive side of things and manifesting yourself prosperity. This takes it to another level, a level outside yourself. Because, sure, that affirmation works for me ----> And it works for YOU too!

It has been my experience through social networking websites and getting myself out there through my radio show, my websites, Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Blogger, etc... Whatever sort of venue that I put myself on to meet others.

A simple rule is: the more I connect, network and communicate with other successful people ---- the more successful I become.

I think a lot of this has to do with how confident and positive you really feel about yourself.

I can tell you, I have a girlfriend that I have known for a million (in internet time) years... and she and I both make jewelery, we both pretty much started to sell our jewelery in our businesses at the same time. Through our connecting with others, and us helping one another out with ideas, brainstorming, positive reinforcement or just being there for the other - BOTH of our jewelery businesses are thriving and we BOTH have more clients all the time because of this. The whole worry about someone "taking" your business - has no place in an attitude that says we rejoice in other's successes --- because if you start to think like that. You will look for reasons to feel like that, and therefore create a moment of seeing that.

I could give you a good example of what I mean here.

So my girlfriend (I am gonna pimp her store out at the end of this blog too) Sloan is her name, she and I have our little Facebook pages of our shops on Facebook and someone that has been a client of mine sees her page and meets her. Then my client buys something from her too...

Now I could look at that two different ways. I could think to myself (which I totally don't)

"Wow, that client of mine went to Sloan and could have bought something from me - I lost a sale."

:(

Or

I could look at it like this (which is often how the story goes)...

"Wow, that client of mine went to Sloan and got something from her -- oh and it was that garnet ring I was eyeballing!! Lucky girls, they both are, I am glad they connected with one another!"

:)

"...Oh and, look ---- one of Sloan's clients just bought something from ME!"

See, it is your perception in the whole idea of this scene I just shared with you. I think that Sloan's client would have probably bought something from me either way --- I really think when people shop they feel a connection to a certain thing, or they don't --- so it is not about you or someone else as much as it is about what the shopper is looking for. Besides - there is no room for "loosing a sale" because before you know it --- The Universe pays you back!

Now I do want to point out that perception is an energy, its an energy of thought. If you are perceiving the world in a worry, fear, loss, stressful way. Then quite simply, that is what you are going to see. If you perceive the world as an abundant place for many people to be prosperous, and lots of prosperity for all, then quite simply - that is what you are going to see --- and --- therefore ---- BECOME!

So ask yourself next time you see someone succeeding at what they do (or even at what you do too) How can I pat that person on the back and congratulate them? And how can I allow that happy energy for another inspire me to be the great and inspiring person that - I AM?!

See, it goes right back to having that inner confidence!

Instead of spending your energy in a negative or worrisome way - maybe look for a buddy that you can connect with, and continue your journey of prosperity with!

Thanks Sloan's ~ My sweet and ever LOVED Spirit~Sister,,, for allowing me to share a little of ourselves with others. I get lots of business questions, and although I am not a business advisor - I can see many principles that you and I naturally do, could help just about anyone in their work!

Money, Money, Money!!!

Want to know how to make more money, be more prosperous and feel worthy? There are a couple simple steps to get you moving in that direction --- read on to learn how simple it truly is!

----------------------------------------------------------

Of course the title of this blog caught your eye, most of us are looking to have more money in our lives! Have you ever read anything by T. Harv Elker? He is a wonderful author that is inspiring and helpful in teaching one to use those inspirations. One of this thought's and ideas that I love I wanted to share with all of you here...

Decide you're worthy.

If you say you're worthy, you are. If you say you're not worthy, you're not.

Either way you'll grow into your story.

I liked this thought for several reasons. I find that a lot of people that come to me for intuitive readings or guidance are stuck in this rut of feeling they are not good enough or they are not worthy of things, whether that be success, money, happiness, love or whatever. Some people have even said to me, how do you do it? How do I make myself worthy?

Well for one I start off with saying it, even if you don'™t believe it at first, say it! Affirmations are funny like that, we don't usually believe them at first or well, quite frankly, we wouldn't need them in the first place if we did, right?'

So say it, keep saying it.

I am worthy.

Then you start to do the things that make you feel confident and secure in what you are worthy of. If you want to be worthy of success you need to start taking a stand and believing in yourself. To be quite blunt and truthful no one is going to do it for you, so if you choose to be worthy then you are. If you choose not to be then you won'™t be.

Make good choices, because whatever you chose to be - you are.

I choose to be worthy, how about you?

((hugs))

Love <3

Did you know, that whenever you feel love, you literally begin to glow? You probably did.

But did you know that the glowing is actually made up of zillions of minute sparkles? And that these sparkles receive as much energy as they create? And that because of this energy exchange you completely stop aging and look younger? Abundance is immediately drawn to you? Healing powers fill you? Muscles are strengthened, pounds are shed, and your vision improves? Lingering questions are answered? New friends are summoned? Old friends are poked? Problems are solved? And maple syrup tastes more maple-y?

All when you feel love.

It's true -
The Universe
