Resisting Growth…Resistance is futile!

As many of you know I’m a runner. I don’t run fast, I will never win in a race unless of course it is to beat my own personal time and yet I keep running. 🙂 Yes, I run in the rain, sleet & snow and somehow get through it feeling that I have accomplished something and can move on to what’s next.

This morning, despite the wind warnings, I headed out for my run saying as I walked out the door “wind, you can’t stop me today, bring it on!” As I was running against the wind like a mime merely running in place, I began to resist it and get angry. Once the resistance kicked in and I started to get angry it seemed as if  the wind was holding me back even more!

Now of course I can’t control the wind so why was I resisting in the first place? It was only making me angry and miserable! At that moment I decided to slow down a bit and stop resisting. It was OK if the run was going to take a little longer and the benefit was I could enjoy listening to my Ipod!

The moment I stopped resisting, the run seemed to get EASIER! Well, maybe not easier but at the very least I was enjoying the process! As you probably can figure out, when I turned around at the 1/2 way point, the same wind that I had been resisting, was pushing me along. I was running more comfortably, smoothly and a whole lot faster! In fact, almost 5 minutes faster than my “normal” 4 mile time! Hmmm…AH HA! 🙂

It was then that I started thinking about what happens when you resist a GROWTH PERIOD.  A growth period  is exactly what it sounds like…. a period of growth AND you are always in one! The thing about a growth period is that you may not necessarily be enjoying it! It’s OK not to enjoy it but are you RESISTING it?

Well, I have one and only one thing to say about that….WHAT YOU RESIST, PERSISTS!  You don’t necessarily have to be enjoying your growth period BUT if you resist, it will take longer to move through and that could even mean years not weeks or days! 

Think about what’s going on in your life right now. Are you enjoying your current growth period or do you feel like you’re running against the winds of change seemingly standing still? Are you happy or angry about what’s going on in your life? Are you in effort and resisting ALL or any part of your present time situation?

Whether it’s your love life/relationship status, job, income, (or lack thereof), or even your body weight, if you find you are in resistance to any or all of what’s going on in your life…CLEAR THE RESISTANCE! LET IT GO!

Grounding and meditation is a great way to let go of resistance. As you clear, you will find that your growth period will immediately begin to have movement and flow. You’ll move through it faster and before you know it…you’ll be in a  BRAND NEW (and hopefully more enjoyable) growth period!

Clearing resistance works with WHATEVER or WHOMEVER you are resisting as well! So what the heck! Let go of the resistance and go with your flow! Breath in the good air, breath out the resistance! Run with the wind and allow it to gently push you along!  🙂 Thank you for reading!  And by all means…..Shine Your Light~Debbie

HELLO PLANET EARTH!

In light of recent planetary events I wanted to take a moment to say HELLO!  The winds of change are blowing and there is anticipation in the very air we breath! The seasons are changing and in many parts of the world we are anticipating the coming of spring. 

Energy is clearing on our lovely planet and the earth is indeed in a “growth period.” I’ve talked about the “shift” that’s happening in prior blogs and not only are we in the middle of it but it IS accelerating even more so!

So, in light of all these events, how have you been feeling lately? Frankly I’ve been feeling a bit “off” in the last few weeks. Life for many of the people I’ve spoken to (or given readings to) over the last few weeks IS accelerating and bodies are not quite feeling comfortable.

Personally I have found myself trying to put the brakes on! Slow down! You’re moving to fast….! And if it’s not your life doing it, it may seem as if things are moving along for others around you very rapidly. 🙂

Well dear ones, if you’ve been feeling slightly “off”, say hello to the great planet earth! A few weeks ago the earthquake in Chile was strong enough to shift the earth’s axis! According to NASA the earth is spinning faster and the day got shorter by 1.26 millionths of a second.  

While this might not seem like a big deal, check again! When you “ground” you ground yourself to the earth!  At some level, whether consciously or unconsciously you are connected to the energy of the earth and when it makes a change it’s time for you to UPDATE your connection!

Grounding is YOUR very own personal connection to the earth and it is something that you can do with awareness. It makes your body safe and allows for release of those energies that are not inherently YOU.

You may pick up energies from others as you go about your daily life and grounding is a safe way to release. As you can imagine if you have not updated your connection with the earth with its monumental changes, your physical body may not be feeling very comfortable.

Why not take a moment right now to notice of how your body is feeling. Do things feel out of control more so than usual? Have you been eating more or less than normal? Queasy stomach or dizzy?

Do you just want to stop the ferris wheel of life and sleep for hours? Are people around you or are you seemingly BUZZING? Are you feeling a bit spacey or like things are surreal.

Maybe you aren’t sleeping well…or at all. You might be feeling stuck or having difficulty letting go. It could also very well be that you are manifesting & creating at light speed and in all that excitement it might be a wonderful time to come back to earth (so to speak) and enjoy it! 🙂  No matter how you are feeling, just take notice for a moment.

Now that you’ve checked in with your body it’s time to check in with the earth! Are you aware of your connection? Have you updated it recently? If you already know how to ground that’s great! If not, intent goes a long way!

Check in with the earth and see how it’s doing. Then use your fabulous imagination to picture YOU connected from the base of your spine to the center of the planet. Yes, it is as simple as using your imagination!

Now notice what that feels like! You don’t need to get caught up in the ‘how’ or the ‘distance’; Just BE connected and allow your grounding to do its job! 🙂

Of course, there’s a bit more to it than what I just walked you through but wasn’t that easy for a start? Grounding is one of the most powerful, yet simple, techniques you can use in your daily life.

Right now with all that is happening on the planet, it’s more important than ever to care for yourself at every level. MIND, BODY, SPIRIT & SOUL. 

Being grounded, feeling safe and turning your attention within IS caring for YOU. When you have conscious awareness of your body connected to the earth you can let go of the “stuff” and bring more of YOU in.

In this blog I gave you some simple guidance on grounding. BUT if you are interested in updating your grounding or learning this very simple tool for the first time, I will be offering a FREE 45 minute guided meditation teleseminar on Sunday March 21st at 4PM CST!

Teleconference phone number and access code details will be posted on the sidebar under  “UPCOMING EVENTS”  and on Facebook ‘Clairvoyant Readings by Debra’ Events.

I hope you will join me for the teleseminar! In the meanwhile, check in with YOU, all that you ARE and all you are BECOMING! Shine your light~Debbie
