The power of self-inquiry

Many people wonder which impulses to follow. How do you know when to trust yourself? and when your impulse is leading you astray?

Unless you are already enlightened, that is, you always feel in harmony and manifest instantly, then not all of your impulses are going to come from your higher self-intuitive guidance system.  Some of your feeling-based impulses are going to come from your lower level blockages; your fears, limiting beliefs, emotional wounds, baggage and karmic patterns. As such, humility is a reliable guide.

So, if everything in your life is not in perfect harmony, disharmony is not going to shift unless you are willing to do a bit of self-inquiry. Breathing more consciously is a good start, but you benefit greatly from going further.

As it is, the universe is designed to project and help you work through your emotional blockages as quickly as possible, mainly to create the exact situations that dig up what is holding you back so you face it.  Making blockages conscious with honesty and humility and appreciating the service they perform (blockages are initially designed to self-protect, and always offer valuable lessons), gives the energetic blockage has permission to dissolve.

If in a particular moment, you choose not to face yourself, the universe patiently keeps creating new situations that offer the same opportunity to face your shadow (the unacknowledged and disowned parts of yourself) until yo uare ready to look deeply into yourself and feel what you have not been wiling to feel. This is to be done with unconditional love and compassion. 

As Carl Jung echos: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

Whatever arises in your life, as yourself if you are being guides by higher self or the lower emotions of fear. Ask to be shown what you cannot yet see.  Be receptive to lessons you have not yet recognized and integrated.

Change your perception, change your life

Its common to desire to manifest and experience something different. What is this desire and your perception of circumstances really saying? 

Manifestation is a simply pointer to how and what you interpret energetically. You are a combination of energy systems, seen and unseen. Much like more than one person can view a cloud in the sky and "see" something different, more than one person can interact with energy differently and perceive something different.  Its based on degrees of expanded consciousness. Every encounter and event each human being perceives is a game of energetic alignment with what is already here.

In other words, if you think you can create something different, the ego is in charge and what you think about does not show up based on thought alone. What shows up is based on energetic alignment. You have to imagine and feel you are already doing something for it to materialize. This is a vibrational state of abundance, acceptance and love of all that you are and all you are allowing yourself to see in yourself.

Shift into a new version of you

People only wake up, make changes, new commitments in their lives and expand on their sense of reality when ready. Are you ready, willing to shift into a new version of you?

You can witness what is happening on different levels around you, hold humanity in the heart without violating individual growth processes. What you see is always pointing to messages about yourself, that is, lessons you make available, new opportunities for taking responsibility and taking your life in new directions. Everything is guiding you to new ways of seeing how you currently exist and can live if open and receptive. It simply requires genuine honesty.

Different tools and teachers appear in awareness with perfect timing. When ready to explore how you create beliefs that affect your life experience, you can develop certain grounding and emotional capacity to help you truly appreciate new kinds of experience you are forging for yourself.

Live more authentically

It is common to reflect on how to make life better, business more successful, relationships more fulfilling, and behaviour more effective.  The common thread in all of this that is often overlooked is the nature of perception, thoughts and beliefs.  Imagine shifting to create and live in a whole new way.

• Why are you not yet living your dreams more fully?
• Where are signs and symbols shifting your perception?
• Which among the visions you have for your life would enable you to live with more joy?
• What is the best that could take place as you rediscover steps to be more true to yourself? 
• How are you already expanding to experience more conscious abundance in all areas of your life?

These are some of the topics to be explored in our upcoming workshop outside Athens, Greece June 13-14, 2015. Join us to rediscover how it feels to tap into timeless wisdom, to live more authentically, to be true to your soul.  Watch what happens as you let the universe do its thing.

5 Ways to See Nothing

To see and be nothing requires no effort. It is to be calm and embody whatever arises in silence without judgment. This may feel familiar some of the time or none of the time. If it is not every moment, then you choose to shift attention elsewhere. What do you choose to see instead?

Often, people see an 'obstacle'. This creates a roadblock or resistance rather than allowing life to unfold. Be aware that each obstacle is a gift. It offers ways to understand why you perceive things as you do and the root cause. Consider these 5 ways you create obstacles and forget nothing:

1) Self-talk- Notice where you say, "I would like to [do something], but..." What you are really saying? Look deeper into yourself to see for the real reason you hold yourself back from inner peace, balance and acceptance of what arises. Hesitation is a pointer. You may fear change or allow fear to control you.

2) Redirection- Notice the difference between creating an obstacle because you you do not wish to do something and creating one to point you in a more suitable direction. How does the obstacle help you to see what you are not yet allowing yourself to see?

3) Who? Notice how you feel about the direction of your life when things do not appear to be going to your plan. Who's plan is it really? Explore why you are attached to a particular plan.  Is it really for you? Or, is it someone else's idea of what is for you?

4) How much? - Notice when the obstacle that arises appears to be financial.  Notice what your own thought, body language and words are saying about abundance and scarcity.  Where you focus attention is powerful.  When you focus on what you are not doing, you channel energy into lack.  When you focus on feeling joyful about what you have, then abundance is your focus and this invites more abundance in.

5) When?- Notice when you feel impatience.  Notice whether you wonder when that special relationship is going to enter your life or when your situation will change.  You may resist deeper intimacy or commitment.  You only ever stand in your own way.

Ultimately, to accept who you are, where you are, and love whatever arises is to be in the flow of nothing. To see obstacles is revealing your own illusions and resistance.
