The following post was written and posted by a student on her blog after attending my LOVE: Let it Flow meditation workshop. I loved it so much that with her permission I’m re-posting her photos & personal thoughts about what she discovered. She took the pics while walking home after the workshop….the universe works in wonderful ways! Thank you Claire!!!

(I took the above picture walking home from the el today; it was part of hundreds of valentines strung along the fence at a local school. Thank you, anonymous student!)

“…and whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should.”

I shared this quote a few days ago when I felt lost — when I couldn’t find the energy to tell you so in my own voice. Simple as that. I was having a difficult time believing that anything was unfolding, much less the Universe. I felt stopped up and stuck, kicking and screaming at the bottom of the proverbial winter doldrums barrel. Perhaps that sounds a bit melodramatic — but it wasn’t a great week.

Then I saw the Max Ehrmann quote, and it gave me pause. I knew something was unfolding, even if it was happening in the background and was not yet clear to me. And I had to have faith that given time, patience, intuition, and the love of the Universe, I’d be clued back in when the time was right.

As you may have guessed, the time was right today.

I went to a meditation workshop this afternoon at Yoga Now, lead by the bright and vibrant Debbie Taitel. It was, in keeping with the upcoming “holiday,” a meditation workshop about love. Was there chocolate to be passed around and chit chat about potential Monday evening plans? Of course. But the real focus of the afternoon was about love as an energy, love as a vibration, and the love that we have for ourselves. After all, if you don’t have authentic love for yourself, how do you give it out to anyone or anything else? Common sense, right?

Debbie asked us if we loved ourselves unconditionally. I was in the front row and didn’t look behind me, but I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who shook my head “no.” Which, truth be told, breaks my heart. (Oh em gee, no pun intended!) Do you love yourself unconditionally? Do we even know what that means? In various ways, I feel like I’ve said this all before. We compare, we measure, we “should” ourselves to death. We say, “I could’ve done better,” or “I hate it when I…” or “I’ll never be…” You can play that game all day long. But what about unconditionally loving our humanness?

I’m not saying that we should naively sail on through our lives, patting ourselves on the back and exclaiming our unrelenting fabulousness. That’s not love; I don’t even know what that is (maybe narcissistic personality disorder?)! What I am saying is to love our beings, to love this unfolding, even when it feels less than desirable (to put it mildly). As I was walking home from the workshop, I felt my mind begin to play its regular games; the self-doubt, the self-criticism. I was judging decisions I had made about the day, about my weekend, decisions that, when it comes down to it, hold very little bearing on the grand scheme of things. And right there, crossing the street, I thought to myself, “I love you, no matter what.”

I love you, no matter what.

But just because I said it once (or twice) doesn’t mean from here on out, I’m good to go. Building a true love for ourselves takes time, I think. And I know that I have a tendency to tie my blog posts up into nice little bows, but I don’t have a bow today. I do, however, have a different perspective of what I’m capable of. And isn’t that how change begins? The idea of loving myself and loving my process of “being” unconditionally is one of those propositions that makes my head hurt because I just can’t.completely.grasp.it. Kind of like astronomy, which I took twice (for fun, both times) and still do not understand. It’s just…out there. Literally! 😉

That being said, the Universe is unfolding as it should, in the same way that I am unfolding as I should (not “should”)…even when I have weeks that make me feel like I’m moving backwards rather than forwards. I am moving how I need to move. I would not have gone to that workshop today if I wasn’t ready, in some capacity, to strengthen the love that I have for myself and for my human experience.

So…I’m going to try.

Generally what you believe to be true, becomes truth but what if somewhere embedded deep in that belief is a limit of some sort? What if there is a ceiling that stops you from living to your full potential? You may not even realize there is a limit because you see your dream so clearly. If you can see it but can’t figure out why you can’t get there you could call it a glass ceiling. The interesting thing about a glass ceiling is that you can see through and beyond it!

Throughout history dreamers have shattered the limits of what they were told to believe and have not only forged a new path for themselves but for the world as well. All of our greatest politicians, inventors, scientists, sports legends, artists & performers disregarded the limits placed upon them either by themselves or by society.

They had a vision and had to let go of any doubt or thought that they couldn’t make a difference or achieve their dream. They have made what was once thought of as impossible, possible by believing in themselves, truth and justice. By believing against all odds and what others told them they could go beyond the limits and create great change not only for themselves but for others.

Can you imagine if Rosa Parks or Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had a limiting belief and lived their lives based on the status quo? Or if Michael Jordan had the belief he was a failure because he failed so many times…or if Michelangelo thought that painting a fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel was impossible.

I could go on and on with examples but you really want to know what this has to do with you don’t you? 🙂 Limiting beliefs energetically STOP you from moving forward. In many instances they create self sabotage in the sense that you defeat yourself before you even try. What you believe can help move you forward or stop you dead in your tracks! Many times you are not even aware of a limiting belief until you go looking for it.

If there is something you deeply desire in your life, whatever it is, take time to examine what you believe about it. Take time to look at what you believe about yourself! If there is something you think needs to happen before you move forward, that’s a limit! If you don’t think you are good enough, slim enough or valuable enough, THAT IS A LIMIT!

Sometimes it is as simple as raising the bar for how much you can have in your life. When you believe without any doubt that you can have it (or achieve it), that you deserve it, and your worthy of receiving it, you begin to clear the limits placed upon you. When you stop believing and worrying about what everyone else thinks about you and begin living your best you, the limits clear.

Dream your Impossible Dream, clear the limits held in your beliefs, shatter the glass ceiling! Go beyond what you believe to be true, believe in YOU and reach for the stars! You are worthy! You deserve it! There’s nothing that can hold you back but what you believe you can achieve!~Shine Your Light Debbie
