TRUSTING YOURSELF – Page 17

The famous philosopher Socrates said “Beware the barreness of a busy life”. I think that’s a very interesting quote! Have you noticed these days how busy we all are? Much of our attention is focused on the outside, what needs to be done today, tomorrow…or right NOW.

Our brains are moving in a thousand different directions. How do we mangage our jobs (or lack thereof), families and responsibilities? How can we create and manifest more money? Find the love of our lives? Be FREE? Why is this or that happening in our lives?

As the holiday’s are quickly approaching we find ourselves with even more “busy-ness” and yes, stress! Wouldn’t it be great if we could all experience a peaceful, Norman Rockwell painting type of holiday? Or how about just have a moment when the world wasn’t buzzing in our heads so loud it’s almost deafening? I call that ‘loud head’ btw…not exactly a psychic term but I think it describes it pretty well! 🙂

It seems to me that the “barreness” Socrates is talking about is in many ways our own spirit. The joy of being safe in the body, at peace and in alignment with the earth, the universe and our very own selves. Occupying the space of our INNER SANCTUARY!

There is much talk about centering, alignment, creating (manifesting), being in the body etc. There are different beliefs & modalities as to how to get there, how to BE and how to manage it all in this world of “busy-ness”. It can also feel very unsafe to be in the midst of it. The reality is that it is a challenge at best with our busy lives to merely sit down, let alone quiet the mind and be still. After all there’s so much we need to DO! So what’s the bottom line? Well, read on dear ones!

All of this has to do with YOU taking CARE of YOURSELF! Actually taking the time to heal yourself, rejuvinate and bring back YOUR energy so you have access to it! 🙂 This of course means ALL OF YOU! MIND, BODY, SPIRIT AND SOUL!

Not only CAN you do this but WHEN you do this, you will find you have more energy, less effort and things will begin to manifest themselves. Here are some interesting questions for you to ponder…. Do you care for yourself, answer to your own needs, nurture yourself and take as much time for YOU as you do for others? Do you take the time to quiet your mind, make your body safe, focus on your essence and what makes YOU happy? Do you feed your spirit & soul just as you feed your body?

For me, the answer lies in finding my INNER SANCTUARY. It’s really amazing how your “reality” will shift when you take time out of your day to access your inner sanctuary. It is a place of peace, a time to step out of the “busy-ness” of daily life. A place of safety where you can begin to clear whatever you have taken on from others. It is a place to re-discover all that is YOU and get in alignment with the flow of your desires & dreams.

Getting grounded and making the body safe is the first step. When you are grounded, releasing all you have taken on and focusing on the flow of energy you can effortlessly move into your INNER SANCTUARY. Your own personal place of peace & calm. There is a true joy in feeling YOUR energy flowing in YOUR body! This is how you care for your spirit! It’s how you heal, rejuvinate and access the unique essence that is your true self.

As I mentioned in the beginning, the holiday’s are quickly approaching (in the States Thanksgiving is merely 2 weeks away) and it will be even more important to find time to care for ourselves. We will be inundated with added obligations from family & friends. It can be an overwhelming and stressful time for many. When you have the tools* and take time to care for your spirit, you will experience more joy and the true spirit of the holidays!~Shine Your Light~Debbie

In recent weeks I’ve had the opportunity to look at fear. It’s not that difficult in this economy as so many people are afraid of losing their jobs, homes, businesses. There is fear of the unknown, fear of making the wrong decision, fear of being alone, fear of being IN a relationship, fear of change… One can even be afraid of success! I’m sure you get the idea. Many people don’t even know they are living with and focusing on fear. I know and have read many very capable, SELF AWARE people who in some area of thier life, are living from a place of fear and they don’t even realise it.

You could be in toxic relationship for fear of being alone. Stay in the same job you hate out of fear you can’t create a new opportunity. You might not allow a relationship to flourish or take a step (make a change) toward something (or someone) as it’s SAFER to continue on the same path. You might be afraid to venture out to a new place, discover a wonderful new activity or meet new people and make NEW beautiful friends.

If the sun was afraid of the storms, we wouldn’t have rainbows! If the rainbow was afraid of the clouds it wouldn’t shine it’s multitude of light prisms arched along the sky, proud and colorful! OK that’s a stretch but think about it for a moment…Who knows better than YOU what’s right for YOU? What step would you like to take that might be controlled by some underlying fear? Is there something you’d like to create but are afraid it (or YOU) will be rejected or might, dare I say, fail? Could there be a time in your life when you got hurt and there’s a fear that if you take a particular step it might happen again? What would you do if you actually succeeded in the thing you desire most? Think for a moment about what it is your heart truly desires and notice if any fear about it comes up. Sometimes I sense a little voice that says “oh, you can’t do THAT!”

In his inaugural speech FDR said “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” I don’t know about you but I find truth in these words. When you are in fear you retreat or hide and in many ways it can stop your growth or colour your decisions.

So what is this thing called fear anyway? Fear is an ENERGY! I suppose I should begin by mentioning that there IS fear related to REAL danger with regards to your survival. It’s the picture that says “RUN! THE LION CHASING YOU IS GOING TO EAT YOU!” Now that kind of fear sets you to running. It is your body’s natural fight or flight response and rightly so…it’s called survival! However since you aren’t going to get eaten by a lion in the near future, at least one would hope not, I’m talking about the ENERGY of fear. The interesting thing is that the energy of fear can produce the same reaction!

In a clairvoyant reading I see the energy of fear as a reaction to some already present form of invalidation, programming or pain you haven’t let go of. It can even be SOMEONE ELSE’S ENERGY (fear) IN YOUR SPACE. The “why is it there” is completely different for each individual as each person is not working on the same thing BUT the bottom line is; When these pictures or energies are stimulated, fear takes over and they can become your TRUTH and get in the way of your decisions. Fear pictures challenge your SAFETY and ability to TRUST yourself! You might find yourself running for your life or unable to “advance” as a wise FDR once said.

At this point you may be asking “so what do I do about it?” You can CLEAR IT! 🙂 I teach a wonderful meditation technique called grounding. It is a simple yet powerful tool for clearing energy. Grounding makes the body SAFE and when your body feels safe you can begin to release and clear all that is not YOU. If you are not familiar with grounding, creating intent and focus on clearing while in meditation can work as well. Then fill up and vibrate your entire being with what it is YOU want! Once you’ve cleared, you have the space to TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH (in yourself) and move forward again!

When you are grounded, you are not only SAFE you are able to clear. When you clear you can then begin to vibrate more in alignment with who you are and your own truth. As you move forward again, you begin to TRUST yourself more and more! The more trust in your ability to create your hearts desire the closer you will be to receiving what you want! Allow your own, personal rainbow of light to shine through the clouds:-) FEAR NOT! “THE ONLY THING TO FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF!”
