Momentum Monday

by

momentum-monday1“Appreciation and love, and alignment to that which is Source, is the ultimate “giving back,” so to speak, for in your pain or struggle, you have nothing to give back. What you are living is always an exact replication of your vibrational patterns of thought. Nothing could be more fair than life as you are living it, for as you are thinking, you are vibrating, and as you are vibrating, you are attracting—and so you are always getting back the essence of what you are giving.”  ~Abraham [Excerpted from the workshop: Money and the Law of Attraction on August 31, 2008]

This is kind of funny. Although I do not believe there are coincidences or accidents, things like this always make me chuckle as I reaffirm that statement. I had this Momentum Monday planned a long time ago. But I wrote yesterday’s post yesterday. Imagine my surprise when I came to the site to write more on this Momentum Monday and saw the exact same concept worded differently.

I love the phrase from Abraham “for in your pain or struggle, you have nothing to give back”. This is so very true. When you’re feeling down in the dumps or trying to deal with the negative things going on in your life, you really don’t have anything left to give to others. It’s hard to reach down deep inside to be there for others when you’re having pain.

But, if you are able to or at least try to get yourself to a point where you can make someone else smile or laugh or ask them how they are (if they seem a bit down themselves), you will find that a) you forget for at least a few minutes about your own difficulties and b) your vibration raises to some degree. Remember that it’s a matter of momentum; so, if you can begin to change your vibration, you’ve begun to improve your momentum and in an upward swing. Let’s say you then go find another person (whether it’s in person or email or by text) to inquire about their health or well-being. That will up your momentum and vibration a bit more. You’ll notice that you begin to feel better too. It almost becomes addictive because you feel better and like that feeling so you want to do more of what makes you feel like that – isn’t that what most addictions are about?

Hopefully you won’t be in this situation this week but if you’re not as happy as you’d like, try to reach out to others and see what happens. Let us all know how it went and what you did.

Have a great week!

Stop Interfering With Your LIfe

by

stop-interferingAs I was watching “The Shift” with Dr. Wayne Dyer (may he rest in peace), it struck me that we really do spend so much time interfering in our own lives.

Instead of realizing that the Universe has heard our “order” and desires, and will be delivering them to us, we start trying to control HOW things happen and WHAT happens. Who are we to think we can out do the Universe anyway? How absurd a concept is that? When we think that things aren’t happening fast enough for us or that they aren’t going to happen at all, then our vibrations actually become lower because we enter the human realm instead of allowing ourselves to be lifted up to the more Universal wavelengths.

I don’t know about you but I do not want to be held back to the human lower wavelengths. How do you stop that? You recognize that things will come to you that need to come to you in order for you to fulfill your purpose in life.  Once you relax into that feeling, the calmness will take over and you’ll allow the Universe to deliver your order.

When you are contemplating something, always sit back and close your eyes. Just allow yourself to feel. Does the course of action you’re contemplating “feel right”  or does it create anxiety inside of you? Obviously, when you take on a new endeavor, there will be a degree of anxiety, but this anxiety should also be mixed with the excitement and joy of knowing you’re working toward your purpose.  If that feeling of excitement is absent, you need to revisit what you’re thinking about.

If the excitement is there, then go for it! But repeatedly ask for Divine Wisdom to show you the way. The Universe will provide you with guidance even more than you’ll find on the internet or by asking others. Ask for the Divine Guidance before you start searching for others to help. This will help ensure that you get the best possible help there is.

Stay out of your own way. Stop second guessing what you’re doing. Follow your passion. If something feels good, it is good and will continue to be good. If you have any trepidation, back off and regroup and head in a different direction. It could still be aiming for the same goal but perhaps with new processes or systems. Listen to what’s happening inside of you. It’s so important that you pay attention to your gut (in more ways than one but that’s a topic for other posts).

Stop interfering in your own life! Let the Universe provide you with the tools and people you need to accomplish what you want to achieve.

Momentum Monday

by

momentum-monday1“You don’t have to go back and deal with childhood issues, because those childhood issues produced a vibration within you that you are still offering — which is producing today issues. You can shift your vibration a whole lot easier when you’re dealing with today issues, than trying to deal with childhood issues. It’s the same vibration. That vibration that was creating childhood issues, now it’s creating today issues. Deal with it in your now. “Which thought feels better? Which thought feels better? Which thought feels better?” ~Abraham [Excerpted from the workshop: San Diego, CA on July 31, 1999]

It’s funny that this came up after my post from yesterday (I think it was yesterday) talking about my fear of change coming from my childhood. The difference, though, is that I’m not going back to “deal with” the childhood issues, just identifying why I am so afraid of change – that is my current adult vibration and that’s what I want to correct.

This is so important for all those who want to spend time analyzing their childhood and it’s effect on the present. When you do that, especially if you’re doing it with another person (counselor, friend, clergy person, relative, etc), you are reliving it and therefore the vibrations (usually fear, anger, resentment, shame – a biggee, guilt etc) will recur and take over your current vibration. You don’t want that at all. You want to create your good vibrations right now and from here on out. Childhood emotions and reactions are self-centered (that is the function and protection inherent in a child) and as children we think everything bad is our fault. Thus the guilt and there is often shame as well. You don’t want those emotions to persist throughout your life. If you don’t release them and work to improve your vibrations, you will continue to exist within those lower vibrations of guilt, resentment, shame, anger, etc.

If you do “go back” to your childhood, get what you need and get back out again. Look at it as a cave that you want to visit and leave as soon as possible. Get the information about the event and then return to your adult state!

If You Don’t Change Direction…..

by

change direction4 “If you don’t change direction, you may end up where you’re heading” Lao Tzu

Or, perhaps worse yet, you might not end up anywhere – you’ll just be spinning your wheels forever.

Do you know where you’re heading? Do you know where you want to head? What is your purpose in life (you’ll hear more about purpose in the upcoming weeks)?

Maybe you’re like me and you don’t like change and would rather just sit around doing the same old thing over and over again without any variety – of course, until I DECIDED I wanted to change something. I could couch the fear of change by saying I only step out after I’ve taken the cautious approach. But, it really is just a fear of new things, a fear of change. That probably comes from my childhood – doesn’t everything? So what, though? Just knowing where something came from doesn’t really do any good. I have to examine what it is about change that scares me. What’s happened in the past when things have changed. I already know the answer to a part of that and all the changes that happened night after night in my childhood simply created intense fear every single night. There is probably more but that’s a good place to start.

Now I ask myself “are you the same person you were then, Terrie? Of course not. You’re an adult now and you really do have more ability to react or respond in a positive way to any situation. You are not a child any longer and subject to your parents and their behavior. You can choose the people you wish to be around.” etc.  Talking to myself and journaling about it definitely helps. It lets me know that I don’t have to be afraid of the changes. Will the fear be gone immediately? Of course not. But with time and discovering more circumstances that have occurred in my life, and with use of EFT (emotional freedom technique), the reasons to fear change will diminish and eventually leave.

I have to look at every situation that irks me or gets my pulse going as a disguise for some sort of change. When I get upset or disturbed by things, I have to look and ask myself “what am I resisting?” More importantly I have to decide to follow my intuition and align myself with the inner spirit and peace (from which I came and am one with), take a deep breath and allow whatever it is into my life and embrace it. That may sound funny but identifying the resistance to something and then deciding NOT to resist any longer is the most important part of your actions. Just let things happen. Trust in the Universe to know what it is that should happen. Then stop fighting the Universe and allow it to bring you what you “ordered”.

In order to grow and experience all that life has to offer, you have to figure out what direction you want to go in. Then the most important task is to take that first step. Decide, then do!

Do NOT stay in one place. Decide which direction you want to go in, take the first step and then trust the Universe to help you take the rest!

My Experiences With Change

by

from-work-to-play---change-happensOver the years I’ve had many opportunities to make the most of change. I haven’t done so very often. But my good experiences with change really began last year when I got a new boss. And the year since then has been filled with many changes. It’s as if this past year has been jam packed with all the things I should have done or absorbed over all my other years….that’s a lot of years to cram into one tiny year.

Fortunately due to my training in the Law of Attraction (both with Reverend Anne Kunath and as a Law of Attraction coach) I have learned to go with the flow, so to speak, and not be as resistant as I’ve been all the rest of my life. I’m a stubborn, red-headed  German and if those characteristics don’t make you resistant to change, nothing will.

So last year I took positive action when I felt my new boss was ignoring me and leaving me out. I used the Book of Positive Aspects as well as segment intending and talked with her and more importantly opened my mind to see what she was teaching us. As I looked upon these changes, I realized how much I had to learn from her and opened my mind and arms even more to absorb everything I could. As it turned out, this was the BEST Boss I’ve ever had in my life. I learned more from her than I ever have in my entire working career.

My changes actually started before I met my new boss. The year of change (better than the year of the rat I guess) really began when I tried the same Tennessee Trek that I finally completed this year. I stopped after 104 miles and this was the beginning of a new life. I had to deal with the back pain that was bothering me so much – that was pretty debilitating but it led me to dealing with the emotions of quitting and then it led me to a new way of eating. A healthier way and my eating habits have continued to be in the healthy mode since then. That helped decrease the inflammation in my back but more importantly it led me to the psychology of eating coaching training that I’ve just completed. Each path was opened up because I allowed myself to stay out of the resistance mode. Remember that what you resist persists.

Things were going along fine and dandy until February of this year when I ended up having a medical issue that required surgery in March. After that I had more problems with my digestive track and was unable to run for 6 weeks. I had to review what that was teaching me and also not resist those restrictions. This hasn’t been easy but I now know that it paved the way for my feet fractures which has completely sidelined me from any activity. Even though I completed the run, I have now been 8 weeks unable to exercise and run. But on labor day weekend, I realized that I had needed that prolonged restriction to rejuvenate my body and get me back into the excited mode of running. A few days or a week’s rest just wouldn’t have done it. Although I’m still not back to running I know that this forced downtime was essential for me to regroup and start retraining.

In all these past few months I’ve gotten a new boss again. This one is another exercise in not showing resistance. I obviously didn’t learn enough last year or I would not necessarily have to repeat this same experience.

This down time has also afforded me the opportunity to review this past year and see what lessons I’ve learned and maybe still have to learn. It is always beneficial for us to do this.

Do your own inventory of the past 6-12 months and see what you’ve learned or what you have resisted. What can you say about yourself and change based on this review?

Tell us about it.
