Fasting For Breakthrough

There is no doubt we are in process of change. As I struggle to make sense of shifting energies, I also realize I am not personally where I need to be at a spiritual level. I feel the need to be more in tune--more connected--than I have ever been in order to meet the coming challenges. 

Last night, I made the decision to begin fasting for a personal breakthrough. Beginning today, I am giving up sugar (one of my biggest downfalls), at least for the foreseeable future. In past I have found it not only makes me feel better, but also clears my head. I will also limit my time on social media and other activities that distract me from focusing on what my heart leads me to do in the now.

Intention is key with fasting. The simple act of limiting certain aspects of your life--especially activities that weigh you down--can free your body and mind from those ruts we often find ourselves in. You do need to be sincere in your efforts, however. If you forget and go back to an activity you were fasting from, don't beat yourself up over it. Begin again. The benefits will still be there.

Depending on what you fast from, there will be various withdrawal side effects. For example, when I have fasted from sugar in the past I get really cranky for the first few days as the Candida die off and cry out for the sugar I am not giving them. Cravings can be intense. After a week, cravings are much easier to control, and after two or three weeks they are almost nonexistent as you adapt to the changes. Note that you will always miss whatever it is you are giving up initially. However, as you fill your body and mind up with new activities there will be new insights as you are able to see new perspectives.

If you find yourself in a place where you are not receiving the answers you are looking for, consider doing some fasting of your own. Look at your life and notice where your focus is. Anything that gets in the way of what your heart tells you to do is a distraction. You will probably be able to see things more clearly if you intentionally choose to give that activity up for a while.

We all need answers as the energies change. Make sure you are prepared to meet the challenges that are coming. Consider fasting as a way to ground yourself and get more clear. You may just receive new insights and understandings that help you navigate the changing world!

What Energy Are You?

As this blog is focused on picking up on the subtle, intuitive information you can access in the world around you, I do not often focus on the energies you put out into the world. Today, I feel guided to have you search yourself to discover what lies within.

Just as you have it within yourself to connect to your heart--connect to the Divine--and gain access to the collective wisdom and insight  that is Oneness, you are also a source of information. The energies you carry are conveyed to the world and play actively on it.

At my retail job, there are certain regular customers that my fellow coworkers see come in and quickly run away from. This is because these customers have problems, and this is what they project out into the world. The glass is always half empty. Life is tough. There is never enough sugar to turn the lemons into lemonade. These customers are hard to deal with, so most associates would rather walk away than try to help.

Ask yourself a few hard questions. Are people there when you need them? Do they magically appear when things are going good for you, but when things are rough they are nowhere to be found? How do people treat you? Do you find the world loving and kind or harsh and cold?

I'm going to let you in on a little secret. The world around you is a direct reflection of you. Let me repeat that in a different way. Your world is constantly responding to the energy you put out into the world. Like attracts like. Project your problems onto the world and they will be coming back to you.

Don't like what is happening in the world around you? Change it!!! Each one of us has the ability to change our frequency!!! We can do things for ourselves that raise our energy levels!!! Part of the reason I choose to post something funny every day here on my blog is to remind you to take time out to laugh (or at least SMILE)!!! Laughter is one of the quickest and easiest ways I know to change your energy into something much more positive!!! It relieves stress and tension and helps in so many ways. There are really lots of ways to change your energies in an instant. Listen to music. Dance. Paint. Meditate. Pray. Journal. Play a game with a child. The list is really endless. It just depends on finding something that brings you joy!!!

What energy are you in the world? Understand there is a universal law that what you put out in the world eventually returns to you. Make sure the energy you release is something you want to come back!!!
