Break down into Break Through!

At times when challenge is staring us in the face the easy way out is to throw in the towel and say,'I quit'! When the pain seems overwhelming and the task in front of us to big, to huge and just too darn much! What does one do when this feeling of dread is the guiding force and their only seems to be one way out?

The question to ask oneself is to set the intention for divine guidance. The first step of the Law of Attraction is to ask and this first step can be taken when anything is desired, including answers to the question, 'Now what?'

When in the asking process, allow yourself to feel the emotion of pain, anger or frustration. Contrary to many thinkers many would say just get positive. However when one is in the muck and can't seem to climb out of the ditch the most simple way to get unstuck is to briefly observe where one is. ACCEPT and acknowledge that you are experiencing the opposite of what you want Be in the pain and EMBRACE it. Be OK with feeling out of sorts to whatever degree the emotion is being experienced because it is only from this state of awareness that one can begin to shift away from it.

Once you have allowed yourself to feel the emotion and you can label it, then you can RELEASE it. This 3 step process may take some time to integrate however as with all new things their is a learning curve time frame. So go easy on yourself. Know that you are exactly where you are meant to be and you have been given an opportunity to grow and expand your own conscious awareness.

When we ACCEPT and EMBRACE what is by briefly observing it we are then in a position to RELEASE it to the Universe. This means asking the Universe, the first step of the Law of Attraction, to release all pain, anger, and frustration from the situation you are in. As you do so you will begin to feel the emotional charge around the undesired feeling begin to dissipate.

You can then begin to shift your emotions from fear, anger and frustration to those of hope, optimism and peace. Once these feelings are attained then and only then can one begin to feel love, appreciation and ultimately bliss.

When one is in the muck and a well wisher says, 'Just snap out of it,' it can feel offensive, frustration and it can feel like this person doesn't care. Or to a greater degree one may say to themselves,'this person has no clue how bad it is so who do they think they are telling me to just snap out of it.' The result is that you feel worse off than you did before.

A way of this unpleasant place is to ACCEPT that their intention is in the right place and to begin to embrace the feeling that goes along with knowing that someone cares enough that they want to assist you. They may not have the resources or knowing of how to assist you in a manner that feels good, however they really do care on some level. This is the process of EMBRACING the fact that someone does care. Then it becomes once again easier to RELEASE all attachment to the outcome of wanting a specific result, i.e. a shoulder to cry on or someone who will listen without judgment or opinion.

So, know that when we communicate with others that they are human beings having human experiences and that they will speak and act from their own context window. When you use the 3 step process of ACCEPT, EMBRACE and RELEASE you will find that any question can be answered by integrating these 3 steps into your thoughts, in turn into your daily rituals.

Eventually, as with all repetitious habits this will become your new context window and the emotional charge of break downs will be easier to transition into break thoughts. Celebrate the breakdowns and briefly feel the emotions so that you can move towards the break thoughts. Every time we acknowledge what it is we don't want we can give birth to what we do want.

Asking, attention and allowing are the 3 steps to the Law of Attraction and in the first step incorporate the ACCEPT, EMBRACE and RELEASE and you will have greater clarity in allowing the Universe to deliver to you what it is that you desire.

One final thought is that what we want is feelings, not things, so set the intention that during your breakdown you want the feeling of clarity and in turn the Universe will quickly and easily deliver to you the break thought. The break through will be another hurdle jumped. For some a baby step for others crashing through a brick wall. Just remember the 3's - ACCEPT, EMBRACE and RELEASE and all will be given unto you.

Jealousy...A Call to Action!

When one is faced with the perceived emotion of jealousy it can torment one or it can be a wake up call. You choose because we are always at constant choice and we can decide what to do with our emotions. Jealousy can be powerful when we use it to serve our highest and best interest.

So, what do you do when you feel the emotion of jealousy. We are all human and have at some point in our lives experienced it, and for many of us it feels unpleasant and keeps us locked in the place of fear and the feeling of scarcity. Jealousy can turn many of us into monsters in that we react in ways that seem completely out of character for us, and yet for some reason we feel this emotion so strongly that we do things, say things and act in ways that are counter productive.

In observing the emotion of jealousy I invite you to view it in a way that serves you and your higher purpose. Briefly observe the emotion when it comes up and ACCEPT that you are having it. Be OK with experiencing this human emotion, and be still in the moment you feel its intensity. Say to your inner voice, 'I accept the fact that I am feeling jealousy, and I am OK knowing that this feeling will pass in due time. This feeling is a gift and and lesson for me to experience and I do so with an open mind and a open heart so that the next time I experience the feeling of jealousy, I am able to quickly recognize it and just as easily give it to the Universe to shift the energy behind it.'

Then move to a place of embracing the jealousy. You can say to your inner voice, 'I am human, I feel emotions and although at this time this jealousy feels unpleasant, I'm going to EMBRACE it. I know there is a deeper meaning for me to be feeling this jealosy and I recognize that it is out of alignment with my higher purpose, however I'm going to fully feel it and embrace the fact that I am a human being having a human experience'.

Once you have embraced the feeling and have allowed yourself to internalize it you are in a position to RELEASE it. Give the feeling of jealousy to the Universe using the words,'This jealousy serves me in a way that it is a wake up call. I recognize that the thing that another has, the characteristics, qualities or experiences that another has, that I want, is a direct reflection of something that is missing from my life.' And with this set the intention to let the Universe dissipate the intensity of the emotion and at the same time allow the lesson to be learned and the wake up call to be a call to action.

When we experience an emotion like jealousy it is a direct reflection of something that we see that is missing or in misalignment with our selves. When we experience someone with an object, a relationship, a situation or some other type of abundance that we want, yet currently it is not in our vibration or our reality, we react in a personal manner in that we think we want what they have.

Realistically ask yourself what is it that you really want. Is it the thing, the relationship, the situation or the abundance that you are wanting? Ask yourself again and recognize that what you are wanting is the FEELING that you think the stuff or experience will bring you. The truth of the matter is. that it is the feeling that you really want to experience. Most of us are attempting to fill a void. Society dictates to us that if we have stuff (the job, the house, the car, the spouse, the money) then we will be happy.

When you look upon another and they are in a situation that you want and you find yourself jealous about, recognize that it may be a call to action. It may be the Universe delivering to you what you've been asking for. Universal nudges come from what seems like strange and out of the blue places, however when we are ready to move forward in the evolution of our lives the Universe will give to us opportunities, experiences and challenges to move us forward.

Take opportunities like deep feeling of jealousy and use it in a manner that serves you. Ask yourself what the feelings you want to experience are and the Universe will turn your jealosy into a call to action. Instead of staying stuck in the comfort zone use the previously mentioned 3 step process and allow yourself to recognize when the Universe is delivering to you exactly what you have been asking for.

Use the jealousy as a wake up call and in recognizing the feelings that you want to be experiencing ask the Universe for opportunities to be in alignment with your highest and best interest, those that allow you to be in service, to be a divine expression of love and to be connected to others that are of the highest vibration.

Any emotion can be a wake up call and jealousy is a powerful one in consideration of the manifesting process. Be open to the possibility that from this emotion a perfect next step may be being birthed. A new opportunity may present itself or someone may come into your life that can give you the next piece of the puzzle.

With this limitless amount of possibility thank the Universe for the feeling of jealousy and to the person, thing or event that was the trigger for the jealousy. Knowing that you attracted it and now it's up to you, as to what you are going to do with the emotion. Give it a meaning that serves you and one that is a call to action. Then take the next step knowing that you are being guided, you are safe and you are protected.

Insanity...a Time for Change!

Einstein said that the definition of insanity of doing the same thing over and over again. This statement makes more than logical sense and if we all lived our lives by this life would be so much simpler and a ton more fun.

What is it that you do just out habit, just because its the way you've always done it, or because it feels safe, comfortable and it is known? Why is it that we do things that we know have in the past given us unpleasant results, and yet we continue this perpetual treadmill that continues to keep us locked in our boxes?

Think about it! We live in a box, we drive to work in a box, we talk on a box, we watch the box, we educate in a box, and we eat from a box! That's allot of boxes! Well, this observe is saying, 'Get out of the way BOX, the circle is taking its place!'

Imagine living life in a circle and how much more flow we would each experience. We live on a big blue and green circle, the cycles of life are in sync with the circle of the moon, we stand in circles and it feels so much better, and a happy face is drawn in a circle.

It's time for us ALL to start thinking and living life from a circle. A continuous symbol that has no beginning and no end, that is equal in all aspects, comes in many different sizes and shapes and when 2 are joined together they create the symbol of infinite.

Let's build homes in a circular shape, classrooms in a circle, offices in a circle, let's eat meals communally in a circle and let's join hands in a circle to embrace the many aspects of all of the circle. Let's have board meetings in circles, let's embrace one another with arms in a circle, and let's create a new paradigm of the circle!

Why? Because we need a new way, and we need it now! The earth is crying, the water is screaming, the children are dying and Spirit is calling. In each of our own way we can stop the insanity, create a new worlds one that is fun, fabulous with more than enough for all!

So, invite of the moment is to focus on the circle. Start with a baby step. Replace one box in your world with one circle. Watch mountains move, and things begin to shift. Little by little, we are each accountable and responsible for the preservation of the planet for generations to come.

Here's to the circle! Be in BLISS!

Napping...and the strangest thing!

Conveniently the weather is less than undesirable so the chance to catch up on some book reading, napping and contemplation has been offered. And this observer felt compelled to have a day of what some would call nothingness. Of course we know that there is no such thing as nothingness, so it definitely was something.

When listening to our inner guidance systems and our intuition guides us to something that is in our highest and best interest, it would make logical sense that when we act upon this intuition our we are more in alignment with who we truly are.

One can only be productive when one finds balance so when we are called to rest, rest. It is Sunday after all and even God rested on the 7th day.

The strange thing of the day is that in having an pre-lunch nap and then an early afternoon nap that the dream happened to be the same. Bizarre...in this observers mind it would seem to be this way.

The dream was about an individual who the observer had what we call a high school crush. And this was over 20 years ago. So, why is it that images of this individual came into the observers dream not just once, but twice, and both within a matter of a few hours?

Interestingly that a few months ago this observer attended the 20 year high school reunion of what was her graduating class and said individual was there. Without any contact with the individual during this 20 year time frame it was a wonderful experience to briefly interact with this individual in an adult role.

So, coming into present day why is it that this individual entered into the observers dreams twice in one day? And why is it that the observer felt compelled to take an afternoon nap when the observer has not done so in years.

Just some food for thought that has this observer confused and curious at the same time? Wondering if the said individual will come into the dream space again and if some message is being delivered that the observer should pay attention to.
