Are You Ready For The Coming Change?

Whether we want it or not, change is coming. BIG change. As more and more people wake up to the corruption that has become an integral part of our world, the crazier the world seems to become. We are so close to the tipping point it has become obvious to anyone even a little sensitive to others. The world is ripe for change.

Survival will come down to one thing: how willing we are to let go of the world we have always known. The powers that be have done a great job of convincing us their system is just the way things are--that all hell will break loose if their power structure is not kept in place. This is the ultimate lie. What their power structure holds in place is their own wealth and power. It also keeps you from taking responsibility for yourself and reclaiming your own power.

Growing pains are typically associated with change. This is why so many people you know have been dying lately. We all sense that something new is coming. Some people are so entrenched in the system they believe chaos is inevitable when the old system ceases to exist. They are afraid to live in a world they do not understand and cannot anticipate. Their downfall is their unwillingness to step up and create their own world.

Now is the time to rethink how the world is run. Do we continue to argue for its limitations, or do we tap into our hearts and begin to create new ways of functioning where everyone benefits? The more willing we are to let go of the things that no longer serve us, the easier our transition will be. Living in flow requires the ability to let go. Clinging to anything that no longer serves is a block that will hold us up and keep us from the abundance we all truly deserve.

Are you ready to welcome the coming change, or will you make it more difficult on yourself by clinging to old ways of doing things? The choice is yours.

Beyond Karma

While I believe that what goes around comes around, I'm not a big fan of most people's concept of karma. Karma is thought of by many as having to pay for mistakes you have made in the past, sometimes mistakes you have made in past lifetimes. I will confess that there are times when I can see someone else's bad attitude catching up with them and take a secret satisfaction in the way it plays out. That said, I don't believe karma is one endless prison sentence. Life isn't about paying for past mistakes. It's about making mistakes and learning from them so that you can go on and learn something new.

Karma is one of those religious concepts that can hold us in bondage. It does this by making us feel that the poor treatment we receive in life is something we deserve. When we feel we deserve poor treatment in life, that is what we receive. We block our own blessings!

Moving beyond our perceived karma is more a question of changing our frequency. That said, there are a good many things we need to overcome in order to be able to do that. For me, it is the journey of forgiveness. We have to be able to forgive ourselves for our own transgressions and mistakes. We have to be willing to forgive others for the pain they have caused us. We also need to be able to forgive the experiences, or traumas, we have endured as well as the energies that surround us in our environments. Moving beyond all these experiences changes our frequency/energy.

Karma is not so much about punishment as it is about controlling our state of BEing. Energy does carry over into the next life. Your choices in this lifetime determine where you end up in the next existence, based solely on the frequency you carry with you. Do what you can to rid yourself of blocks that come with living life. Choose forgiveness, and you will have the ability to move beyond your present problems into a new and beautiful life.

Healing Thru Forgiveness: An Invitation

Several years ago when my youngest son was still in high school, I realized I would have some extra time on my hands in very short order. I didn't want to be one of those moms who have nothing left to accomplish once their children are grown. I decided to figure out what my dreams were, and I set out on a course to fulfill them. In the process, my writing progressed into the blog you see before you, designed to help people connect to their hearts and the voice of God within. Still, there seemed to be more I wasn't getting. In just the past couple of weeks, my thoughts and desires have melded into one perfect whole I am calling Healing Thru Forgiveness.

The concept is just what it sounds like, using forgiveness to heal. It isn't exactly new and different, but as I look back on my life I realize I have been preparing for this possibility most of my existence. I have encountered many opportunities to forgive and to be forgiven. In the process, I have learned to heal myself and others and forge ahead to much more positive outcomes and possibilities. They are ideas that don't require any special healer other than yourself, and I am happy to share them with you so that you can become a happier, healthier you.

In a nutshell, the process involves identifying all those blocks you need to work past (others, yourself, your experiences and your programming) and actively and consciously let them go. There are many ways to do this. I plan on sharing them in this blog, writing about them in book form, developing workshops, and acting as facilitator to help you work through your own process. I can't wait to see the changes, both in myself and in you!!!

Sometimes it takes a lifetime for an idea to come together and make sense. It is time for all of us to come together and heal ourselves. When we heal our own energy, we in turn become the frequency that heals the whole world. Join me?

The Power Of Ho'oponopono

I came upon the principle of Ho'oponopono a number of years ago. In a nutshell, it is an ancient Hawaiian prayer of healing and reconciliation that is comprised of four distinct parts: I'm sorry, forgive me, thank you, and I love you. From personal experience, I know this to be an extremely powerful healing modality that not only changes you but can change everything around you as well!

First and foremost, Ho'oponopono takes personal responsibility for yourself and your world. The thought is not that you have forced those around you into certain actions. Rather, the frequency you carry has impact on the world around you. You are accepting responsibility for your BEing.

In the first step, I'm sorry, you acknowledge the role you have played in creating the circumstances around you. You acknowledge you have not been carrying a frequency that has been helpful. You become willing to let it go and unblock the stuck energy you have created and allowed. You feel that frequency, understand it, and clear it.

The second step, please forgive me, clears the energy from those it effects. In energetic terms, it addresses the other being who has been harmed by the energy you carry and asks the other person's energy to resolve the tension/block through forgiveness.

The third step, thank you, acknowledge's the other person's part in the healing. The other's energy has allowed the blocked energy to give way, and this is your way of appreciating that person for helping you resolve it.

The fourth and final step, I love you, is designed to reinforce and strengthen this newly healed relationship. It allows your heart to fully open up to the person you had been separated from and claim whole and healthy relationship once again.

Energetic blocks come to us from many directions throughout our lifetimes. Often we are unaware of the cause because we are busy trying to live life based on what we think we know--what we have been taught.

When you find yourself at odds with a fellow human being, understand that something has caused an energetic block/separation. By following the simplicity of the Ho'oponopono prayer, you have one more tool to create flow in your life once again!

Clear The Clutter!!!

Spring cleaning. It is a ritual performed by many in the modern world. Gives us a chance to deep clean our homes--clear the cobwebs, wash out the dusty cupboards, get rid of trash we hang onto in the belief we will need it again sometime. It's a chore none of us relish, but we do it because we know how it will feel when we're done. Clean. Fresh. Renewed.

Our homes should be our sanctuaries, but in the chaos of our lives we often don't take the time to weed out those things that are no longer of use to us. I'm as guilty as everyone else on this score (probably worse than most as I do have some horrible packrat tendencies).

The funny thing is, when I do take the time to weed things out, I feel so much better afterwards!!! Cleansed. Refreshed. Surprisingly, free!!!

The thing most people don't realize about clutter is, when you have too much stuff in your life, it's hard to receive anything new. You just don't have room for it!!! This is true for homes, and schedules, and even thoughts. You reduce the blessings that want to come to you when you stubbornly cling to old things that have overstayed their welcome.

As we go along in this process of connecting to our hearts and empowering ourselves to create better lives, I will give periodic reminders to Clear the Clutter from our lives. That way, we have the ability to stop and think and rid ourselves of all that is unnecessary so we can receive new blessings!!!

May your blessings be abundant as you create new space for them!!!

Recognizing Blocked Energy

If you've ever listened to abundance gurus talk about the idea of flow and allowing things to come freely to you, you may have also come across terms like blocked energy. Typically blocked energy may be defined as anything that keeps your energy stuck outside something else and keeps your energy from flowing freely. In a nutshell, blocked energy is a literal separation!

Blocked energy is extremely common in our world--so common, in fact, that you come across it every day without giving it a second thought! For example, if you run across someone who is different from you in any way and you feel yourself pulling back, that is blocked energy (and you are doing the blocking). Maybe the person is morbidly obese or challenged in some way and you feel yourself repelled. Maybe the person is a different religion or sexual orientation from you and it feels threatening. Sometimes we even pull away because we feel unworthy of the love and attention we might receive from someone else, or we are afraid of being hurt. The point is, recognizing blocked energy can be this easy!

If you take the time, you can also explore blocked energy on a deeper, more subtle level. This takes a bit more introspection and investigation on your part. The best place to start is when you are in a relaxed, meditative and expanded state. Begin to explore the relationships you have in your life. It may be a family member, a friend, a coworker. Can you embrace this person, flaws and all, or is there something about this person that makes you pull away? Ask yourself why you would pull away. If the answer you receive from the universe is that you are not pulling away, ask yourself why the other person or thing is pulling away? Asking questions will help you discover what exactly is holding you back.

Picture yourself beside a wall that encloses a beautiful garden. You know there is great beauty and solace within, yet you cannot venture inside. You are blocked! This is the exact feeling you get when your energy is not allowed to flow freely!

Why would we want to recognize blocked energy? Blocked energy is a signal from the universe there is an issue you need to work on! Ideally, we want our energy to flow freely in order to take full advantage of all the gifts the universe has to offer us. When you are blocked, you are limiting what you can receive!

Recognize your blocked energy, and you will be able to resolve the issues that keep you from receiving the abundance available to all!
