Reconnecting The Flow

Lately, I’ve been hearing some of my friends experience the feeling of being separated from the flow of the Universe. They describe the feeling of being disconnected as uncomfortably quiet. Interestingly enough, I have felt this way before. I do know what my friends mean. Don’t worry, it’s not permanent! :-)

I thought about being disconnected for a moment and this is what I got:

When you feel disconnected, it’s because you choose to be.

What?! Did I just say that?!

Okay, I’ll start again… When you feel disconnected, it’s because you choose to be. We purposely, though sometimes not realizing it, choose to cut ourselves off from the flow so we can avoid painful issues, avoid the necessary steps for growth, or prevent the possible accomplishments that we are afraid of achieving from ever happening. Whatever the reason may be, perhaps unconsciously, it is by choice…

When you choose to disconnect from the source, you block the flow of the Universe’s energy. You go through life unconsciously, as if you were sleepwalking – just going through the motions without having any feelings. Your sense of purpose, creativity, and ability to be spiritual are not as easy to access. Your hopes, dreams, goals are looking as though they are distant.

Trust that Universal support never really left, but if you can remember that you disconnected yourself from source by choice, you can choose to reconnect. The easiest way to reconnect is simply by stating the intention of doing so. When you are connected to the universe, all aspects of your spiritual being will feel very alive as the flow of the universe pours through your well being and into your life.

First Year Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to me…

It’s been one year since I accepted my life calling. I learned so many things in 2008. It was truly amazing and exciting to learn new things and to grow. I learned many ways to help others and feed my soul. If anyone would’ve told me 2 years ago that this would be what I’d be doing – I would’ve laughed and thought it was so farfetched.

As the New Year arrives, I look back in 2008 to see what I have accomplished and to see what needs improvements. I think about all the clients that I helped, and all the wonderful new friends I’ve crossed paths with. There are still so many lessons I have to learn, and I’m looking forward to learning more things in the new year.

I’m thankful to God, my guides, the spirit world, mentors, teachers, friends, and my family.

Happy 2009!

By now many people are beginning to size up their New Year's resolution options.

Have you thought about it yet?

Realize that any time is a good time for a resolution. Yet the New Year is as good a time as any to gently move into the soul space with heartfelt motivation and shift your consciousness in such a way as to produce transformation. Resolutions work because they traverse the fine line between intention, will, strength, gentle trust, and alignment with what is already set in motion by the universe.

Remember to have some fun in 2009, and most of all let the music of your heart color your experience with joy every day.

Let this coming year be better than all the others.

Here are some resolutions for you to consider:

- Discover something new. Vow to do some of the things you've always wanted to do but couldn't find the time.

- Call up a forgotten friend. There's always a reason why you've crossed paths. Perhaps by thinking of them again, it may be time to reconnect.

- Forgive more often. Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories.

- Walk tall and smile more. You'll look 10 years younger.- Count your blessings every day. Always be grateful and give thanks. - Ask for guidance daily. Ask and it is given!

- Be more loving to others and yourself. By practicing loving yourself, you'll soon be better at loving others. Don't be afraid to say, "I love you" often. They are the sweetest words in the world.

Have a very happy and exciting new year!

No Need For Worries

"A person (usually a child) who cannot sleep due to worrying can express their worries to a doll and place it under their pillow before going to sleep. According to folklore, the doll is thought to worry in the person's place, thereby permitting the person to sleep peacefully. The person will wake up without their worries, which have been taken away by the dolls during the night." - Wiki

We have all had the experience of worrying about something at some point in our lives. Some of us have a habitual tendency to worry. We have all known someone in our lives who constantly worries at some time or another. Perhaps it could be the person you see in front of the mirror.

In order for worry to exist, we have to imagine that something bad might happen. We worry about stuff that hasn’t happened but we create this unreality in our mind.

Worry is another word for fear. Fear comes from our own ego. It is a state of needless fear. Still, most of us worry. Worrying creates an unpleasant effect on your body, mind, and spirit.

There are many different ways of worrying. For example, you might worry about your loved ones driving home in bad weather. Knowing that there is absolutely nothing you can do to guarantee their safe trip, you continue to worry until you finally hear that they've reached their destination safe and unharmed.

The next time you find yourself worrying, imagine the best result instead of anticipating the worst outcome.

Visualize your loved ones’ path surrounded in white light and clearly see in your mind’s eye their safe arrival. Call out angels or guides and ask them to watch over your loved ones as they make their way home. Generate peace and well-being instead of nervousness and unease within yourself.

Keep in mind that worrying does nothing to ensure a positive outcome. Remember that the Universe is always listening – It’s the law of attraction! Be aware of your thoughts at all times.

The Interview With God Poem

The Interview With God Poem

I dreamed I had an interview with God.

“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.

“If you have the time” I said.

God smiled.

“My time is eternity.”

“What questions do you have in mind for me?”

“What surprises you most about humankind?”

God answered...

“That they get bored with childhood,they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.”

“That they lose their health to make money...and then lose their money to restore their health.”

“That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future.”

"That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.”

God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while.

And then I asked...

“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?”

“To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved.”

“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.”

“To learn to forgiveby practicing forgiveness.”

“To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them.”

“To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most,but is one who needs the least.”

“To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings.”

“To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.”

“To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly. "Is there anything else you would like your children to know?"

God smiled and said...

“Just know that I am here... always.”

My Cute Teacher: Charlie

Animals As Teachers

There is so much we can learn from animals. Unlike human teachers, animals can only impart their wisdom by example. We learn by observing them. An animal teacher can be a pet or an animal in the wilderness.

Animals teach us in a variety of ways about behavior, habit, and instinct. House pets represent an unconditional love no matter what our shape, size, age, race, or gender is. They care little for the differences between us and them and simply enjoy loving and being loved. Our pets encourage us to let our guards down, have fun, and take advantage of every opportunity to enjoy life.

Animals teach us about life, death, survival, sacrifice, and responsibility. If you find yourself drawn to a particular animal, ask yourself which of its traits you find most fascinating and think about how you might mimic those traits. Animals express themselves with abandon, freedom, and integrity. It’s natural to be drawn to the wisdom offered by our animal teachers.

Life Lessons: Live it Now!

Sometimes, we may find ourselves wishing we knew what our lives would look like in the future. We may be eager to find out what gifts and challenges are presented to us in the coming months or years. For some of us, we may want to know if the relationship we’re in now will last or if our goals will be recognized. Perhaps we feel like we need help making a decision and we want to know which choice will work out best. We may consult psychics, tarot cards, our dreams, and many other sources in the hopes of finding out what the future holds. I believe that even though we think we would like to know the future in all its details, the truth is that we would probably be overwhelmed and exhausted if we knew everything that is going to happen to us before we actually live it.

Take a moment to look at your life as you’ve lived it up to this point. If you are like most of us, you probably have done more and faced more than you could have ever thought you could accomplish or learn. If someone had told you as a kid of all the jobs and relationships you would experience, along with every ups and downs in your life, you would have become overwhelmed. With your head full of information about the future, you would have had a very hard time experiencing your life in the present moment, which is where everything actually transpire.

In many ways, not knowing what the future has in store brings out in us the qualities we need to grow and learn. For example, it would’ve been difficult to commit yourself to certain people or projects if you knew they wouldn’t ultimately work out. Although, realize that through your commitment to see them through that you experienced the lessons you needed to grow. In truth, your most challenging experiences with their life lessons may have ultimately brought you the greatest rewards. Not knowing the future keeps us just where we need to be—fully living life and in the present moment.
