For Happiness, Peace & Ease, SURRENDER!

“Life is the dancer, and you are the dance”~Eckhart Tolle

Many people struggle and fight their whole lives to find happiness, peace and ease. It doesn’t really matter what the fight is but it translates into a feeling of constantly being at war. There is effort at every turn and let’s be frank here, if you are looking for the negative side, it’s always there. For every positive there is a negative and you have the choice to sound the alarm, arm yourself and go into battle or you can SURRENDER.

Surrendering doesn’t mean giving up and losing nor does it make you a victim of your circumstances. Surrendering means putting down your weapons, letting go of ego, giving up the fight and accepting that which IS. Accepting that which IS in present time takes your energy out of the battle and frees you. It brings a sense of happiness, peace and ease which only comes from bringing all that you are back to you and accepting there is something going on which you cannot control. To be sure there will always be something you can go into battle for but when you surrender and let go of the fight itself you have actually just won the battle!

Are you in a constant battle in your life? Do you feel like you always have to ‘fight’ to get what you want? Are you struggling on a money quest, to find love or to lose weight? Are you fighting your body or resisting illness? Is there peace and ease in your relationships (including the one with yourself) or do you find yourself in effort and either ‘people pleasing’ or trying to live up to someone else’s vision of who you are? Are you in a battle with an addiction to sex, love, drugs, alcohol or some other type of obsession?

Whatever you are fighting and/or anytime you find yourself struggling the more you fight it, the less chance you have of winning the fight. I want to make it very clear here that I’m not referring to those who have an illness and are doing everything possible to fight for their lives. That is a very different kind of fight. Most of the people in that situation have accepted what is happening and take the necessary steps to heal their body and spirit. I’m also not referring to the things we must fight for globally like human rights, truth and justice. We all must take a stand and fight for those things. I’m referring to the battles which exist in your mind that imprison you. The internal dialogues and battles which take root and cause you to constantly feel like your fighting to become visible and valuable in the outer world.

Not one thing said here has anything to do with giving up. It’s just the opposite. Happiness, peace and ease comes from being one with your life in the present moment. Being one with your life is accepting what IS then doing something about it. If you are at war fighting your circumstances you’ll have very little energy left for anything else. Your circumstance (or growth period) is not who you are. You don’t live your life, life lives through you and your choices. It is when you give up trying to fight and control every little thing that comes up that you will feel a sense of ease.

Surrender to who you are and the feelings in your heart. Throw in the towel. Raise the white flag. Imagine how life will be when you win; And you do win the very second you decide to let go and surrender. Imagine a life full of happiness, peace and ease. Are you ready to step on to the dance floor, full of joy and BE the dance?~Shine Your Light Debbie

On the road to success do you get in your own way? (Part 1)

It goes without saying that we all want to be successful. We dream big, imagine what life would be like and sometimes we even start building a foundation for success yet for some reason there are times we become stuck or blocked on the way. The people who we perceive as successful were not without challenges and pitfalls; they persevered, climbed out of the pit and turned stumbling blocks into stepping-stones. How did they do it you might ask. The answer to that question is simple. They got out of their own way by focusing on success instead of the energies which come up time and time again as they moved closer to their goal.

Of course there are many reasons why you get close to success and movement seems to abruptly stop just short of your goal. This is precisely the time to take time in meditation to see what’s happening. I’ve listed here the top four energies which I continually see come up during reading sessions and workshops. It’s interesting to note how easily it these 4 energies take over. If you don’t take time to acknowledge and clear them out it is YOU who get in the way of your own success.

Fear of Success

In a recent workshop on creating one of the students left trembling and in tears. I spoke with her a few days later and asked about her experience. She told me that in the workshop she created something so BIG that she became overwhelmed with what she had just put into motion and it frightened her to the very core. The truth of what happened was that all the energies about how much her life would change, what she would have to let go of and who she might have to leave behind in the process came up. At any point on your road to success pictures and energies will get stimulated and you can move through them and let them go or you can hold on tightly. Worrying about ‘what’s next’ is also a fear which should be addressed. Once you’ve put into motion your success it’s in motion! If you allow the fear to control the outcome, you’ve gotten in your own way. Let go of the fear and allow success to unfold before your very eyes!

Limiting Beliefs

Is there a limit to how successful you can be? Did someone once tell you that for some reason you weren’t good enough or smart enough to be truly successful? Were you programmed to believe your life should unfold in a certain order or what your particular role should be Did you identify with what they told you and at some point it became your truth? I see this a lot when I read women. They are in a struggle to meet the programming of being a wife and mother vs. a successful business woman following their dreams. In a sense they are limiting their experience to one or the other. There are many people, not just women, who hold on to the belief that life is supposed to be a certain way. If you believe what others have told you about what your role should be or you put limits on your success you are getting in your own way. Turn your attention within and discover what makes you tick, what YOU believe about yourself and know that you indeed can succeed no matter what. Find those things YOU are enthusiastic about creating in your life. Your idea of success might very well be completely different from someone else’s. Welcome support from others, ‘divorce’ the naysayers in your life and in the words of a dear friend ‘believe you can achieve’ and you will! Read More

Looking from the Seat of Your Soul….

: Photo courtesy of Kate Janes ©All Rights Reserved

Entertain for a moment that you are sitting in a comfy chair and looking through a window. What you see on the other side of the window is your life. A glimpse, if you will, into the physical aspects. This is one time it’s OK to be a “voyeur” and do a little self stalking As you watch the scene before you also take notice of the inside details and the window itself.

Perhaps the window frame is beautiful with lovely curtains. There is comfort from your easy chair and it feels good to be right where you are. Consider for a moment this is the seat of your soul and this is you BEing. What you see on the outside is life as you have created it. What do you see? Is it bright with gardens growing different types of flowers? Or is it rainy and muddy? Are there rolling green pastures teaming with life? Or is it black & white lacking color and vibrancy?

As you watch yourself through the window notice your emotions. Notice if you are merely working to make a living or living to do what you love. Do you see passion, love and enthusiasm filling each moment? Or do you immediately want to close the blinds and not look at all? Closing the blinds not wanting to see is common. The world outside especially with the current state of affairs may not be something you’d like to look at but in reality this is your life and how you’ve created it with your choices and reactions to outside influences.

Many times people don’t want to take responsiblity for what’s going on in their lives and yet at some level, it was created by them. They have left the comfort of their easy chair to go outside and have forgotten how beautiful it is inside. Some have forgotten, in a sense, that they have the choice to navigate life from an easy chair, and to be in agreement or alignment with what is created.

What do you see when you look out your window? Do you like what you see? Is it full of joyful enthusiasm and zest for life? Does the outside match YOUR inside? Do you find yourself REACTING to energy or are you GENERATING your own? When you are in alignment with who you are and generating your own energy you create your life based on what YOU want.

It’s not that there will never be stormy days and times you won’t want to shut the blinds tightly. You can’t control the weather or the actions of others but you certainly can choose to react in alignment with your dreams and vision of how you want life to be. When it’s stormy you can choose to see beams of sunlight behind the clouds to find the bright spot in the storm and when the storm has passed you might even see a rainbow!

If you have gone outside put your umbrella away and come back INSIDE! Take a seat and notice how beautiful, safe and comfortable it is inside. Align yourself with what’s inside then look outside your window and see what you see. Find the sunbeams playfully hiding behind the clouds. See life clearly and if you don’t like what you see, picture it how you want it to be and watch it change like magic! ~Shine Your Light Debbie

In Spirit We Trust….

In a recent conversation with Elliott Eli Jackson author of “From God to You the Absolute Truth” regarding a challenge I was having, Elliott asked me ’what do you desire?’

A short time later he said ‘once you have stated what it is you desire, let it go and let spirit do the rest. That simple question and statement prompted an illuminating and very empowering moment.

After a few minutes of thinking about exactly what it was that I desired, I responded. It felt good to actually SAY it out loud…Then at the end of my statement came the words ‘but what if….?’

The very instant the words ‘but what if…’ came out of my mouth I realized that much of my attention had been outside of me trying to ‘figure out’ what was going on!

While those may not have been the exact words, the exact words really don’t matter because it is more about knowing & trusting that spirit is involved and taking care of things in ways we can’t fathom. The healing begins when you trust yourself enough to state what YOU really desire.

Although it seems simple, which it is, it may not always be easy! There are energies and pictures that come up as you state your truth. Many of those energies are based on fear, judgement and invalidation. None of which are YOURS!

Have you noticed that when you begin to focus on what you desire your thoughts immediately shift to ‘but what if…?’ You may notice fear that you aren’t good enough to HAVE what you desire.

It could be that you are afraid of hearing the answer or that you might make a wrong choice. You may notice invalidation of your body to attract the right partner or that what you desire isn’t what someone else desires.

Whatever comes up for you, the ’what if” energy doubts are NOT your truth so you can’t solve them, however you can certainly CLEAR and let them go!

Your inner voice will lead to your truth so trust it! Trust that your spirit self and the universe will take care of HOW to make your deepest desires reality. You are a child of universal spirit and worthy of all your dreams.

You KNOW what YOU desire! Why not state it and focus on that vibration clearly with no ‘ifs’, ‘ands’ or ‘buts’? There is no fear, judgement or invalidation in this!

Decide what it is that you desire and align yourself with it. Communicate your desire clearly…state it out loud! If you notice any energy of doubt or fear just let them go and allow the universe & spirit take care of the rest!

Trust in spirit and your inner wisdom. Trust in yourself for you are wiser than you may give yourself credit for! Trust the universe and that all good things are already on their way to you!~Shine Your Light Debbie

Lift the Veils & Clear the Mists!

There is a great awakening happening in the world. Our very consciousness is changing and we are becoming more aware. Many are awakening from a deep slumber and as you know when you awaken from a deep sleep you can be “in a fog” for a short time.

As in nature, when the landscape is enveloped in the fog, it merely takes the sunlight to burn through the mist to unveil the glory the fog had once hidden.

When you clear your mists you find that where you once had doubt, you are empowered, if you were in lack, you can see your abundance. Fear falls away and you uncover your strength and courage. You are no longer shrouded or limited by your surroundings.

In one of my favorite books “The Mists of Avalon” by Marion Zimmer Bradley a traveler could take a barge out into the sea and arrive either at Glastonbury of the monks or the Holy Isle of Avalon simply by will if they were aware of where they wanted to go and wished to do so.

Although a fiction book, there is a great deal of truth to clearing the mists that surround you. As those mists are lifted they unveil not only who you are but help you to see more clearly that which has been there all along. All it takes is YOU deciding to turn silently within.

Begin to shine from the inside out and you will become clearer in thought. You will find what YOU really want! You uncover your truth and your own will!

“When you are in doubt, be still and wait. When doubt no longer
exists for you, then go forward with courage. So long as mists
envelop you, be still; be still until the sunlight pours through and
dispels the mists—as it surely will. Then, act with courage.”~White Eagle

There indeed may be doubt and it does take a bit of courage to begin clearing those mists. Sometimes they envelop us like a warm blanket and it feels safe. Many times it’s easier to travel the path you know, surrounded by mist but when you “dispel the mists” you may just find something wonderful!

So be still. Sit silent and turn your attention with. Allow the sunlight, the very energy of the universe, to burn away any mist! Lift the veils! Awaken to a new day to see what is revealed………….!

It is YOU in all your glory! Your beautiful loving spirit! You may even find a sunlit path that has always been there just waiting for you to see it! Shine your Light~Debbie

Tune in..Turn on..to YOU!

A few days ago my horoscope said “…keep in mind that you’ll be happier if you can enjoy the rainbows without needing to find a pot of gold at the end of each one”. That statement was interesting to me because of the reading requests that have come in seemingly fast and furious about the pot of gold! Now of course there’s nothing wrong with wanting that pot of gold BUT what happens when all your attention and focus is on winning the prize vs. living a miraculous life in the present?! When the future prize becomes more important than what’s going on in the here and now you could actually be missing an opportunity of a lifetime!

I want to be clear that what I’m talking about here has nothing to do with not having dreams, hopes or creating something new. It’s not about all the wonderful work you are doing spiritually. It is not about creating and manifesting all that you want for your life. What I’m referring to is when the pot of gold becomes THE ONLY THING and becomes so specific that you are not living the full spectrum of your rainbow life from the inside out! Living life “in the body” in present time is an amazing experience! When you focus on ONE particular person place or thing and it consumes your thoughts, not only is your attention outside yourself but you are probably in effort. Not only that, you have consciously or unconsciously created a limit and what is called a perfect picture.

If your quest has become specific to a person, place or thing instead of the bigger picture and being open to what comes in you may find yourself a bit unhappy. It’s easy to figure out because very simply…it doesn’t feel good! You are attached to something, someone or a specific future outcome and not the present time experience. Life is a process and when you allow that process to happen you can live the rainbows every day! If the pot of gold becomes a perfect picture, and you will only accept that as your reality, you are limiting your life experience. Would you give up a date with an amazing person because you are waiting for George Clooney or Jennifer Aniston to call? Would you give up $50,000 because you are waiting for 1 million? OK those are a stretch but I’m betting you can think of something in your life that you’ve made a perfect list of what it is, what it should look like or what needs to happen before something else can happen!

The universe works in very mysterious ways and when you have a full spectrum of experiences, like the colors or the rainbow you may decide to change what your pot of gold looks like! So while it is true that an experience might not lead to the pot of gold, it is growth and will certainly allow you the freedom to re-create what that pot of gold IS and what it means for you! Check in with yourself and see if you have inadvertently placed any limits on yourself. If you are in a place where you are feeling frustrated that you are not getting EXACTLY what you want and you dismiss other possibilities, it’s a sign you’ve created a perfect picture! You have the freedom and choice to change and heal…if you choose to.

There is a rainbow of light that lies in the very core of your being! Tune in to it! Tune in to YOU! Turn on from within! Tuning in to your very unique vibration is like turning on a light switch! Perhaps the particular pot of gold you seek is already there just waiting to have a light shine on it! Once you tune in the healing begins! Clearing limits and perfect pictures allows you to live all the colors of the rainbow and the world is your oyster! When you are in TUNE, grounded and in the flow of your own energy you live from your truth and can create or re-create your reality! You open yourself up to limitless possibilities and with limitless possibilities, there is choice and freedom! So what colors of the rainbow do you want to experience? Shine your Light~Debbie Taitel

Bring it ON! Handling your growth with ease!

“One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.” ~Nietzsche

I’m not sure I agree that you MUST have chaos within but to be sure, sometimes spiritual growth can certainly feel and look a lot like chaos before you give birth to the dancing star that is YOU!

Life itself is a journey of growing and changing. You are born, you learn, you grow up, you have experiences both good and bad, easy or difficult. The only thing that remains the same is that you are growing and changing! One moment you are walking on your path, other times you take a side road. There are times when changes & growth happen smoothly and effortlessly, other times your growth is so rapid it leaves your head spinning! If you do any kind of energy work whether it be meditation, yoga, prayer, law of attraction, reiki or any other type of what I call energy work, you are setting the tone for BIG changes in your life! If you don’t do energy work I have some news for you, the fact still remains that your growth WILL and IS happening. What I will be talking about in this blog is what is called a “growth period“. Specifically, what it is, how to handle a growth period & move through it smoothly, with ease.

So what is this growth period and why does it happen? Very simply, a growth period is exactly what it sounds like. A space in time when you are growing and changing, sometimes very rapidly. A growth period can last an hour, a day, a month, a year or even a lifetime! When you do energy work and start to consciously, with intent, living life from your own truth you are actually speeding up the process! Things begin to shift in your personal universe and I might add, they are shifting in a BIG way in the universe itself . You may be experiencing the growth of the planet as well as your own! Yes, ‘shift’ happens and while in the middle of rapid growth and change it can feel a bit uncomfortable, out of control and yes, chaotic!

Now all of that doesn’t mean that when things are moving along like a free-flowing stream, you are joyful, in alignment, in your flow and creating, that you are NOT in a growth period. You are ALWAYS in a growth period! It’s just a fact that some growth periods are merely more challenging and chaotic than others. If you are working on clearing a particular set of energies or pictures that have defined you for a very long time it can feel really… ’gnarly’ as you clear them out ! You are literally RE DEFINING yourself and bringing in more of your spiritual essence! You may want to notice how smoothly things go AFTER the chaos! So, I say… BRING IT ON AND LETS GET GROWING! There are things you can do and a few things to keep in mind that will help you move through your growth period with ease.

One of the first things to become aware of is that you are IN a growth period! It is not YOU or who you are. Now I know that is a simple concept but sometimes when things get chaotic, energies are releasing and it seems as if your inner world is imploding, and your outer world is exploding, it’s easy to forget that YOU ARE NOT YOUR GROWTH PERIOD! You do not need to be the effect of it! To be sure, you are growing and expanding as spirit but you are certainly NOT the growth period itself. What’s happening is the release of many old energies, concepts and untruths that you have lived by. In essence you don’t need to be in the middle of what’s releasing! Find your amusement with the process then allow the energies to go! Keep the focusing on your own vibration, truth and alignment…..GO WITH YOUR FLOW!

DON’T RESIST YOUR GROWTH PERIOD! Yes, dear readers, I put that in caps! Sometimes you may not necessarily be enjoying the process! OK, I know none of you would be resisting your growth period but I, for one, find resistance to the process when I’m feeling uncomfortable and consciously don’t like what’s happening! If you are not feeling good or enjoying the process just know that this too shall pass! Recognize that you would not be in the process if you weren’t working on growing and clearing something. There is always a reason even if you aren’t aware of it while in the middle of it. Also keep in mind you would not create a growth period you can’t handle! It’s the resistance that can get you ‘stuck’, not the growth period or process! What to do? Take your attention OFF the process and clear the resistance! :-)

Now at this point it’s a good time to address a question that comes up frequently in many of my clairvoyant readings and meditation classes. The question is about the other people in your life that can’t or don’t want to take the same steps you are. They may also resist you as you are taking your growth steps. What then?

You all know that many people resist change whether it applies to them and/or possibly YOU. After all you are SO wonderful…don’t ever change! A few of my personal favorites are; I like things just the way they are! I can’t handle this/you anymore! You are not the same person I first met! Why do you do that anyway, what’s the point? They may even try to make you wrong for you wanting to take your own growth steps. In any case the thing to remember is that you are on YOUR journey and it may not necessarily be THEIR journey. They could be in a completely different place than you are. See them for who they are, allow them the space to be where they are.

When you are in alignment with your truth and vibrating from that place that is an invitation for them to come join you! You may or may not be able to take someone with you on your journey. It’s really up to them to take that step rather than you pulling them into it. Where they are for them is the perfect place and exactly where they want to be and what they want to be doing. The only person you can be responsible for is yourself and how you react to their choice. You may even want to take a moment to clear your resistance to them not wanting to take the same steps you are taking! Hemal Radia, Manifesting and Law of Attraction , posted a response to this very question in terms of using the law of attraction. His response wonderful and I encourage you to read it!

OK back to what is turning into a novelette rather than a blog post! Going through a growth period is not always easy on your physical body! Remember, in spirit there is no time or space and that’s where the work begins. Your body however exists in time & space and needs some time to adjust. Be gentle and GIVE to your body. Everyone has a different way to do this. It may mean a massage, spending time alone, a bubble bath, crying or laughing for hours! I often get emails after someone has had a clairvoyant reading that they want sleep all the time. Well, go with it! Whatever your body wants! If your not sure, go with the rule of thumb…when in a growth period… more food, more sleep and more of ANYTHING & EVERYTHING that feels good to the body!

There you have it! So if you find that Ben & Jerry (ice cream) are your best friends, you want to sleep all the time and things feel completely out of control….you may be in a growth period! None of that was very complicated was it? Perhaps a bit long but not really complicated! Here’s the short version: When in a growth period remember you are not your growth period! Find your amusement! Let go of and clear the resistance! Remember this too shall pass! Give to the body! And if all else fails, I have only one word…..*C*H*O*C*O*L*A*T*E!!!!!! Enjoy your growth periods and thanks for reading! Shine your light~Debbie
