Is it Necessary to Crash & Burn?

The universe has an interesting way of sending messages and answers our way. At times these messages come gently and others, well, we need to be hit on the head until we wake up and smell the coffee! The real question; Are you aware of the messages and answers that are being given to you?

Last year I had a reading from the amazing Sheryl Blumenthal. Yes, I do readings but it is challenging to see myself as clearly as I can see others. 🙂 I knew her reading would be a powerful healing but I had no idea that the messages she would communicate had been given to me many times before.

During the reading I experienced a series of pictures flashing before my eyes of each instance this information was delivered to me and I either couldn’t have it or wasn’t listening. So where does the crash & burn come in you might ask? It’s in the ‘crash’, hit me in the head with an anvil to make me listen part and this time, I listened!

Each one of us has a different ‘crash & burn’ but no matter how it comes it makes us stop and listen to those messages we may have missed or realize the prayer has been answered even though we thought it wasn’t. It’s about life lessons & miracles that we consider trivial until something happens to make us finally sit up and take notice.

Crash & Burn comes in many forms. It could be illness in your own body or that of someone you love. Death of a loved one. An accident of some sort that makes you aware of your body due to injury or surviving an event that by all views should have been fatal. It could also be in terms of a relationship ‘break up’ or personal economic disaster. It could indeed be all of the above at once or within a short period of time.

No matter what the crash is for you, it’s the thing that happens that makes you say ‘Wow, where have I been? Have I been sleeping? Why didn’t I see that before?’ ‘Thank you God! I’m happy to be ALIVE!’ The crash brings you to your senses! It really does in effect wake you up, shows you where your attention has been (or hasn’t been) and hopefully allows you to re-evaluate what you value & where you’d like to have your attention.

Is it really necessary to crash & burn? No! As you increase your awareness, awaken & listen to the messages you are receiving you can begin to use the information to heal. Healing is a process and it may be that you need to clear certain things before you can truly ‘hear’ or ‘see’ what you are receiving about something else.

All of this is about bringing your attention back to YOU! When your attention is outside yourself seeking things, answers or worrying & obsessing about this or that, you are no longer listening to your messages and honoring who you are.

The crash & burn makes you aware of those things that are really important in your life but so do the gentle messages that are being given to you every day. Listen to the gentle messages, recognize and honor who you are. Cherish & value the people you love, the love in your heart and life itself!~Shine Your Light Debbie

Judgement, Fear & the Twilight Zone…

The energy of judgement is very prevalent in our society. I’m sure you’ll all agree that being judged by someone else doesn’t feel very good. 

We are judged by our looks, the color of our skin, body type, personality and even our religious beliefs among other things.

Living in Chicago and having the opportunity to watch as our politicians go on trial for corruption is interesting. 

Some are convicted and others, as in a more recent and very public case, are not. What seems to be missing is the actual TRUTH.

The energy of  judgement and being judged by a jury of your peers is something to be aware of even if you are not actually in a courtroom. It is an energy steeped in fear which causes division and limits.

I think most of us, on one level or another, are on trial every day. Much of the time WE put OURSELVES on trial and in doing so try to  “prove it”.

You  prove to your boss or clients you are doing your job, prove  your  love (proving is not expressing 🙂 ), prove to your parents you are doing the right thing  and in many instances, you even have to prove to yourself that you are beautiful and successful.

The ‘prove it’ trial of self judgement is the most energetically ‘charged’ of them all! Do you have judgement about your body? How much money you make? Whether you are good or better than someone else at what you do?

Is your personal jury deadlocked and stuck on a picture that you can’t or shouldn’t do something  because  you’re not good enough or you don’t deserve it? If so, what or whose information are you using to compare or prove it to?

You may be acting as both judge AND jury all in one and I’m just guessing but I’ll bet that YOU are your toughest critic! That being said, it’s worth taking a look at where that judgement comes from.

Take a step back and as a neutral observer notice if your judgements are based on truth or someone else’s picture/information on what it should be according to them?

There is a Twilight Zone episode that illustrates my point. In “Eye of the Beholder”. Janet Tyler is in hospital waiting for the outcome of her latest operation to be revealed. If not successful, she will be forced into a segregated area where others of her kind are kept.

This is a perfect example of how taking on someone else’s information creates fear & judgement. Were the witches on trial and put to death in Salem really witches or was it based on fear, gossip and incorrect information? 

If you feel the need to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, how about finding what is true for YOU? I can tell you with a great deal of certainty that the way we judge ourselves and others comes from fear, pictures and concepts outside of us.

You can’t stop someone from judging you but you certainly don’t have to take on that judgement and live from it. Journey within and find  neutrality to free yourself from  judgement.  Find the space between the darkness & light to see  truth. ~Shine Your Light Debbie
