10 Tips to Rebuild, Rewire & Recreate Yourself

The moment arises when we are ready to make bigger life changes.  Sometimes change seems to happen without us and we may feel confused or frozen in our tracks. Sometimes we are unsure exactly how to respond to abrupt change, that is, which mountains to scale, which direction to turn or to how to let go of what no longer serves us.  Consider 10 Tips to rebuild, rewire and recreate yourself;

1. Draw Power from Inside

Everything shifts as it dawns true power comes from inner navigation rather than from outer attractions and attachments to people, position, potential promotion, material goods and prestiege.  In other words, this is key to reclaim and strengthen relationship with our truest virtues, vivid visions and untapped potential.

2.  Speak Truthfully

One who speaks from the heart, does not hold back, regardless of judgement, rejection or loss of popularity, is aligned with Soul.  As we shift away from ego agendas, we realize being honest with ourselves and others is the only option to be real.  Journalling and reading entries to self can encourage us to take it next level.

3. Focus on a Calling

This is not the same as what we do as a job we are pushed into or we allow someone to choose for us.   It emerges from intuition, a sixth or spiritual sense.  Its up to each of us to take chances, join the dots of our own path, do what others tell us cannot be done.

4. Be Loyal to your Values

This implies we are aware of our ideals and live in integrity.  This comes from deepening self-awareness and being willing to let go of relationships and situations that are not out of sync. Whether we call them pillars, commandments, guideposts, habits, principles or core values, they quietly guide our decisions and actions. The best are easily understood and shared in practice.

5. Live from the Heart

As we sget out of the head, (stop questioning, doubting, over-analyzing), and live more from the heart, we find effortless productivity soars, confidence and self-worth increase, and we grow into magic manifestors. This is part of the process of discovering oour gifts and offering service.  I pray we all come to trust intuition over the logic and practical reasoning of the intellect.

6. Study Inspiring People

Inspiring men and women affect us based on artistic genius, being fearless warriors, prodigious scientists, businss titans, inspiring humanitarians, Nobel laureats and individuals who inspire us to love and accept ourselves and our visions.   Principles they live by, behaviours, discipline and rituals stand out or draw us in to recognize qualities in ourselves that are ripe to blossom.

7. Learn to Meditate & Visualize

Notice the body. Feel your breath. Take note when your mind is wandering. Varied approaches exist.  This is about becoming an astute observer of your own thoughts and feelings.  Gradually expand your awareness to include body sensations, and sounds in external environments. Embrace everything that arises with non-judgmental awareness. Continue practicing mindfulness meditation for at least 10 minutes daily, gradually increasing the duration as you become more comfortable with the practice.

8. Invest in Self-development Events & Courses

Call it synchronicity or intuition, something mysterious guides us to commit time, and energy to events and courses. Maybe its a yoga teacher training, a children's illustrator workshop, a writer's masterclass, an artists' internship, a free offering that crosses our path, guidance from inspiriting specialists with no strings attached. Take advantage of what presents. Let your soul be your pilot.

9.  Enlist experts

At different stages of life, we invite in teachers and guides that invite us to evolve and flourish into more expanded versions of our true Self. That may include; performance coaches, healers, breathworkers, spiritual counsellors, hypnotherapists, dream coaches or whatever resonates with our stage of consciousness.

10. Self-examine

To pay attention to yourself invites looking deeper into the psyche, to realize what unfolds in our external world reflects the state of our inner world.  Begin to realize the subconscious mind and conscious mind are the same mind.  The only reasons we see a difference is because we artificially create a division. The part of the mind we are not willing to look at is the subconscious mind. To explore this unknown, do shadow work, get up early, strengthen resolve, do dream work, and take steps to align with personal destiny. 

On reflection, as a wiser woman, I realize this is a lot.  At times, the process, was uncomfortable, even terrifying.  Yet, is was also electrifying, fascinating, rewarding to make my own breakthroughs. It dawns that deep personal change is often painful simply because it is transformational.  We cannot grow into all we are meant o be without leaving behind versions of ourselves we outgrow. Older versions of you experience a kind of death so your own new realities can emerge. We are taught change comes with suffering but the nature and duration are up to each of us.

Every morning, I see aspects of the external world continue to sleep or remain unchanged while the way I see myself, my behavior, even my very operating system are completely restructuring.  The more I focus energy, time and attention on my vision, the more major fears fall away and new situations emerge to replace them. Much of my previous conditioning to please, to be liked and conform, while betraying true self, just dissolved.

Trust the Alchemist Within

Notice the alchemist within knows the moment arises when nothing and everything happens. Without effort we never get here. Yet, with effort, nobody ever reaches it. As we reach the peak of our effort, it dawns our effort is futile. Suddenly, all that we can do is done, and no need exists to do anything else.

This said, nobody can drop "it all" part way. Wisdom arises within like energetic activations based on experience. The hero's journey must come full circle- quest must be undertaken to completion for the fruit to emerge energetically. So, go to the extreme. Put everything, total heart and soul, into it, until it dawns effort is not going anywhere. Effort is itself a teacher. Only then, it drops on its own accord. Meditation happens, not as the result of efforts, but as a happening. As efforts drop, suddenly meditation is. This is not a state we enter into but radiance surrounding everything. It fills the whole earth and sky. True meditation cannot be created by limited human effort. The truth is infinite. It cannot be manipulated. It happens only in full surrender. Without surrender, true meditation cannot happen. That is, its about no-self — no desire, not going anywhere — when you are just here-now, not doing anything in particular, just being present, it happens.

Dream Analysis of the Week- Cosmic Mermaid

Dream:

Entered body of water from land and swimming across/ through water toward an island in distance. Storm arose. Rough water. Fishing boat appeared with fisherman that resembled Jesus. He fished me out with tail and took me closer to island where I got back in water. Fog set in. The fishing boat disappeared in to the mist. Mermaid grew legs when on island. Approached small white house. Knocked. Radiant lady with halo holding newborn baby called out to me. I entered room, saw her breast feeding. She said I could stay the night in lighthouse and pointed next door. I gestured namaste, then climbed nearby lighthouse stairs. Came to open area with book, burning candles, skull, crystals, sacred geometry and dried herbs. At midnight, the items on table levitated in a circle, rotating around geometry.. Connected with higher self and knew what to do. Levitated to sleep above book which I read in my sleep. Next morning, lady with baby and I took fishing boat back to land. The water was clear. Night storm had subsided. I did not grow back my tail. We went to enter a bus somewhere. i paid driver with crystals. I had no watch but felt like I had misplaced one. The driver of flying bus drew my attention to glass case with watches. I shapeshifted to see I am busdriver and crystals. Driver pointed to watch with Winnie the Poo floating inside some some liquid with food and chatacters. I entered the watch, communed with the characters and reset time cogs.

Insight:

Many versions of self exist. Everything we encounter is a version of Oneself.  How we respond to each reveals the nature of shadows and/or soul fragments. Encounters with water reflect our emotions. If its stormy, we may be bravely exploring reasons for discomfort as well as creative endeavours. We are getting clearer on how we feel and responding in greater integrity with the soul.

Note you are your own divine saviour (nobody can rescue you from any situation but yourself).  In scriptures, a fisherman echoes resurrection and immortality as well as connection to the inner spirit.  It echoes diligence and a focused mind

A mermaid represents metamorphosis and transformation is taking place or about to take place in our midst. The shapeshifting of tail to legs is a metaphor for developing precisely what we need to move forward.

New babies may echo our return to innocence as much as the possibility of new projects on the horizon you might view as your "baby". The age of the baby may indicate how long your project has been incubating. Nourish the budding vision that is blossoming through you.   Each of us also nourish our own inner child even if it appears to be external as a metaphor. A mother is symbol of love, purity, nurturing. We are forever connected to the source of love energy.

A lighthouse is like a beacon, a symbol of rising awarness within. It also echoes one must gain knowledge to make wise decisions going forward.  A lightbulb is going off pointing to new relationships, changes, and projects on horizon.

Reflect on where you give power or authority away in a given situation. A busdriver is someone you pay for transport or directions

Crystals remind you that spirit guides have your back and are in constant communication with you on an energetic level.

Watches invite paying closer attention. This is an invite to be more natural and less concerned about others' expectations.  Reflect on self-containment,  self-created limitations and possible options to branch out.

5 Reasons to Lucid Dream

Its widely agreed that lucid dreaming has many benefits and yet how do we get here and practise consistently?  Consider 5 Reasons to lucid dream;

1. Know Power of Intention

People are motivated to do things because of an underlying intention.  As we make the intention conscious (or grow aware of it), this creates momentum for the experience to take shape in our lives.

2. Strengthen Memory

Good dream recall  strengthens memory. This essential to lucid dream. This starts with the firm resolve to recall your dreams. Dream journaling helps. A proven technique is to wake up a few hours earlier, stay up for fifteen minutes or so, then go back to sleep with the intent that “I will wake up in my dreams, I will remember my dreams.” 

3. Be Willing to Explore Techniques

Eastern and western techniques exist to help orient the dream journey.  Taking supplements, using technology that tracks brainwaves, visualisation and specific meditation techniques are some of the options available.

4. Feel the Urge to gain mind mastery 

The real point here is not to gain mastery over your dreams but mastery over your mind.  By gaining mastery over your mind, you grow fearless in the dark. The nighttime lucid dreams and yogas can illuminate, eliminate fear, the primordial emotion  of samsara.

5. Interested in Universality

The practices of the night lead us to this unified field and awaken us to the universality of the human condition.  In truth, when we go to sleep, we actually going to meet every other sentient being on this planet, at this deepest possible level. We’re going to sleep together and rest in the same luxurious bed of the primal mind. Our job, when we arise each morning, is not to forget this nightly reunion.

What is Wholeness in practice?

Notice a key question that arises in this moment is: can I see, observe wholly without division? To observe through the lens of wholeness is sanity, lucidity, clarity. To watch how our mind is operating - to observe, not correct it, not shape it, not say, 'I must become whole or act to feel whole, or take steps to be sane,' may feel insane. It depends how the mind watches. Does it watch with judgement and analysis- form a conclusion, a condemnation, or refer to memories? Wholeness is as mind freely observes. Tremendous joy and vitality arise right here without us. Tune in.
