Ever find yourself walking along in life and then it starts to look like you are going to go through a storm? It gets so scary and things look like its history repeating itself - and part of you just wants to run back to the old safety you know. All those old voices and programing from the past start to shout and scream at you - go back - go back to where its safe - just do all those old things... then you will be safe!!! Then I find myself looking over my shoulder - oh so tempted to go back... and sometimes I even start to move backwards - I turn around and start to go backwards... I hear those inner voices clamoring for my attentions about how things are going to get worse... you can't take this risk!! You can't win! You can't be happy! You have to fix it for everyone else first or you won't be safe!!! This is when I have to take a few huge deep breaths and just stop.... take stock of where I am.... really check in. I have to connect to my higher self - to my course... and in this dark place that can be so hard - because my past and all my old programs are so loud and they really cause a huge din. They want my attention - they want me to go back to them... they want me to be safe with them - because "better the devil you know then the devil you don't"!!!! Stop!!!!! Take stock!! Breathe!!! Connect!!! What if the devil you don't know isn't a devil but paradise??? Remember - what I am seeing around me in that moment is the result of my past actions and thinking... not my current action and thinking. So is this what I want to keep on repeating? Is this what I want to keep on creating? Its like a stuck record... if I don't change and keep taking these steps forwards and write my life in a new way - I will never experience anything else - I will just keep on repeating my past - my old thoughts and patterns will just keep on proving themselves. I have to give a new way a chance! I have to keep on reminding myself that the old way is what produced my current reality. New patterns take some time to manifest - they don't necessarily manifest immediately - there is a gap. So I have to give it the time it needs to manifest and just keep on taking the next step - just keep on holding the new focus I want to move towards. Its like driving at night... we can't see very far ahead of ourselves- just as much as our light beams shine on. We have our end destination in mind and we keep on driving towards it...even though we can't see it yet - and even though its all dark and scary around us - we don't stop and turn around and go backwards! So this is life as well... just because its new and things are happening around us is not a sign that its not working - its the sign that there is change - we are entering new territory - and yes - its new and that can be scary - and yes - sometimes we pass through a storm - but they do blow over. So instead of giving up to the old and going backwards... how about loving ourselves and supporting ourselves on our great and exciting journey forward? Giving ourselves the comfort and reassurance we need to just keep on taking the next step - holding the goal in mind and aiming for it - one step at a time? This is the only way we are going to manifest the desired outcome and the only way to stop repeating our old patterns! So today - stop - and take stock... look at how far you have come - rather than how far you still have to go... look at all the things that are showing you just how well you have done - and how things are actually working for you. Don't let the scary things stop you - let them propel you forwards - as they are temporary and they will pass.. just like a storm - and oh - its so beautiful when the rainbow comes out and the sun shines again!! Take shelter in your loving heart and the arms of your angels as they walk with you and encourage you to just keep going!! This too shall pass and then... a new life is there for you with wonderful new experiences. Much love Arleen

All my life I have loved the idea of magic. I have always wanted a magic wand and wanted to be able to cast spells... I have always believed that there must be some type of magic in life. To me - life without magic - is boring. So - when I find life feeling a bit dull - ts time to cast some magic - to look for the magic in life. Then again - why wait for it to become boring before doing this? Why not make magic part of your every day life? Why not make magic some you do and create every day too? What is magic? Its that little bit of mystery and delight and sparkling stars that make a difference... and that bring joy and that make interesting things happen... its whatever you want it to be. Its the twinkles in life. Its the delight in someone's eyes, or smile, that warms your heart and brings that suddenly uplifting feeling... you can call it love too if you like....but I just love to call it magic... I love to think of how thoughts and words can cast a spell over something and make a difference. Traditionally - there are always words involved - a spell.... So you have to think it - you have to use your mind with intention. You can have a wand or you can use your hands... or any other action.... and again - its all about intention. So - magic - is focused intention... focused words and actions - to bring about a particular result. Now - these days I do have a wand!! In fact I have two - my vortex wands... beautiful wooden wands with vortex cards in them that are designed by Jeff Levin... and they hold the frequency of the Merkaba...but - these are my healing tools - and although I sometime use them to make magic - and they are delightfully magical... they are not what I use daily for casting my spells... so don't panic if you don't have a vortex wand like I do - you can still cast your magic - with your mind and your focused intention. Just think about the results you want in life...and set some intentions about it - be playful... cast a spell of your own... but - it must be for good... for your own good - for the highest good of all...magic - although it has been used for dark - should really not be used for dark - as it does have a spring back effect... what you cast on others always comes back to you - so cast good!! What you sow you reap - so sow consciously... so that you reap what you would love to reap. Tune into the magic around you in your daily life - our world is full of it. Its spring time - and flowers are bursting forth from bulbs and trees and plants - things are coming alive.. feel the magic in that!! Feel the life force in that and let it infect you - let it cast its magical spell on you too - to enliven you and bring this growth of energy into you too. Close you eyes and look up to the sun and feel its warmth touch you - warm you... breath it in and let it infuse you with light and love and warmth - that is magic!!! Then send that feeling out into the word to all who need it and want it... never force it though - it needs to be received in free will... remember - you can lead a horse to water - but you can't make it drink - so never force your magic touch onto any who really do not want it - allow them free will and then you too have free will. See the sparkles of life and delight in life - in all around you - see into others and allow yourself to see their soul... that is magic.... and let it touch your heart...now that is deep magic!!! Let your own heart grow and expand with it... allow the delight of life to touch you today!!!! Much love Arleen Have you ever found yourself wondering ..."What is the point of life?" To me - after so much soul searching... and searching everywhere else... it has come to mean - to be more me - to live my life in as much fullness of expression of me as I can - and to get happy. All the books I have read... all the courses I have been on - they all point to this... be who I am...and be happy with that - and just get happy. I see how much pressure I have put myself in in the past... do this ...do that.. please this one...please that one.... and really - it did not make any difference to those people in the long term. You cannot make someone else happy... not really. You can appease them with your actions etc... and you can lift them up with good things... but you can't make them feel happy - its something they do for themselves... they decide to allow happiness in. Yes - I do love to do things that bring a smile to people...but why do I do those things?? I do them because actually - it makes me feel good inside... it brings me great joy... so see how much me there is in this?? Am I doing it to make them happy? Yes - in part - because I love to see someone smile... I love joy and I love to spread it and infect people with it... but - like all infections - it can't get in unless that person wants to let it in. Our defenses have to be down to let something in. If a door is closed and bolted shut... you can put in huge effort to smash it down... but in many cases - all you get is a massive bruised and painful arm! So if this applies to others - of course it applies to me too. If my door is closed and bolted shut - nothing is going to get in until I LET IT IN!!!!!! So its time to check my doors... all those internal doors and external walls. Have I got huge high walls of resistance around me? Are some of them called Worry? Doubt? Self hatred? Lack of self worth? Lack of deserve-ability? All of these things are blockers and they stop the good stuff of life from coming in - they block happiness, and love. They act like beaters - raining misery down on my back. They can stop me from achieving success - because if I have those blockers in the way and they are active - then our comes good old sabotage to mess things up... "You can't have this... you have not done this or that!!!" "You can't be happy ,because Tom is not happy!!!" "Blah Blah Blah..." Really??? Since when? These are just more stories we have brought into, to stop ourselves from getting or having what we want. The sun shines regardless of how many clouds are in the sky. These blockers are like those clouds in the sky... the good stuff - as in the sun - is out there - constantly... but - we can cloud over and block it - or we can blow those clouds away and let the good stuff in and start to feel better immediately...regardless of what else is going on in the world. Yes.. sometimes we need to go through expressions to wash those clouds and misery away - but... then... we can stop and breathe and reconnect to the sunshine of life again... its there!!! Somehow - when I do let go of the "stuff" that is bothering me... either by just dropping it, changing focus, or expressing the stuff.... then I find that calm clear space - and start to breathe, and then the sun starts to shine again (even on a cloudy day)... and I can find that spot of warmth inside myself - and out there in the world.. its starts to reflect it back at me.... and life gets better... and just keeps on getting better...because that is why I am here.. to be me.... and to be happy! Much love Arleen You are good enough. You really are. So often in life - we tend to judge ourselves on all the things we do - on all our achievements - and when is enough enough? Its like we have to prove something to someone? Who are we proving this to? Yes - we go through life - and we get graded in school, and in so many other areas of life - we get an A, B, C etc... and for so many this seems to then become the rest of their life - am I an A person - or just a B or C - and if so - is that good enough? What does this good enough thing mean? What is this being enough all about really? What does it matter? How much shame is attached to this? Have you ever given a compliment to someone and seen them turn their head away and brush it off... its as if they can't take it in...its too much - or perhaps they just think you are being nice? I remember this used to be my story, and sometimes - it still is. Once in a while the old insecure inner child one surfaces and I just don't take it in. In those moments - I can't take it in - the shame of the old one just is so big and the old pain blocks me from being able to receive the gift of another's approval, love or gratitude towards me. Somehow - the old internal guilt , fear or shame, does not feel I deserve this praise, because I am not enough... not good enough, not worthy enough, not whatever enough - just not enough!! Do you know this old story? In my life - it used to drive me to push harder and harder and harder, and give more and more and more of myself until I had nothing left. So I went inside and found a little girl who was dealing with others who were projecting their guilt and shame onto her. They did not feel good enough and so - she could not. She spent years trying to make it up to them - trying to fix them, until she realised she could not fix them - they had to fix themselves. She had to understand that the fear that drove them may well have been relevant for them in their time - but it was no longer relevant to her in her life. So basically - it was not about her - but about them. The world never stopped when I stopped trying so hard. No one suffered. The only one who had been suffering was me. All of this resulted in the me back then not being able to accept things, or compliments, or love from others... because somehow inside I felt flawed. So I had to go back to the one who felt that way and reassure her that she was perfect as she was... good enough as she was - in fact - more than good enough. She needed to know that she did deserve to have good things in her life. She needed to learn that is was ok to be loved - because who she was and is, as a person - was worth it... deserved it. Slowly - bit by bit - and day by day - this me - learned to lift my head up - and to look people in the eye - without flinching back. To allow myself to be seen for who I really am - a beautiful being - worthy of love and respect. Slowly I learned that what I give to others is worth a great deal, or they would not be wanting that from me. Slowly I learned that I am a very loving being - and I deserve to be loved in return - and that is was ok to accept that deep love from others. Why else would these amazing people love me if I was not worthy of being loved? Why else would they be sticking around to be with me if I was not worth it? So I was able to start telling myself and really feeling it - I am enough... I am more than enough. This then allowed me to start to interact with the world around me in a much more deep and rich way. I allowed myself to really take it all in....deep inside - and to allow myself to really feel the love and the nurture from others and the world... you really have to let it in deep and let it touch you - they way - you are touching others. This is the blessing of life- the in breath and the out breath - the giving and receiving - its a flow! So today - just be you - and know just how special you are. Make a list if needed... of all the qualities you have that are so special and are you... of why you are enough - and of why you are lovable.... fall in love with you... you are worth it. You are enough. Much love. The thought that comes to me today - is that if I want to be honoured and respected in this world - then it has to start with me. If I can learn to honour, love and respect myself - then this will become something I attract from others. It always has to start at home - with me. I find myself contemplating how many things and actions I have done in the past that do not really honour me - but are done because I am trying to please someone else. Trying to gain someone else's approval and to please them. This is not honest. This is disrespectful of them - as its not done from a clear open-hearted willing place... and its disrespectful to me - as its not what I really want to do. Its not me being in my truth. The reality is - that we cannot make someone else happy - we cannot change ourselves enough to ever make someone else happy. It never works - because within ourselves we start to bubble and brew - and we find this internal pain and anger - because we are not being ourselves - we are not being honest. We cannot find our own happiness by pleasing others either. Again - because that internal part of ourselves will become restless and start making an internal fuss... and this shows in our vibration - and no matter how hard we try and hide it - we never can - it will be felt. If I think back and reflect - I can see how hard I have tried in the past - to be the peacekeeper. I have bent and twisted to try and appease others - but it does not work. In the end its me who breaks... I bend to far and.... snap! - something inside of me breaks. This is my distant past I am talking about - not so much the current me - however - I still feel that tug of my inner child who demands that I bend and twist to appease others. That inner child has been terrified of upsetting people. In her childhood reality - that could well have been dangerous... it would have made the bigger people angry and then it got very stormy in her world... so she was truly doing her best to keep the storms at bay. This was all, of course - her perception of how her world was... and some parts of it truly were stormy... but - we are no longer there - her and I. Its now up to me to remind her and to keep her feeling safe by showing her the world I really live in. Its easy for her to forget and to put huge pressure on me to appease - as she gets really terrified... but... I - the big me - knows better now. I know that my world is mostly a calm one, and that I am in fact surrounded by so many loving people. These beautiful people are not going to hurt me. These people really want me to just be me... and they love me for being me. But - I have to keep on reminding myself that this is how it is... and in this way - remind her and show her what a lovely world we live in, and to just keep on being me. After all - this is the greatest gift I can give this world - and myself - is the gift of being me. I am a beautiful, loving being. I am mostly a very happy being (except when I am not being me). The gift of my loving heart and my insights into this world - mostly by studying myself- is what this world really wants from me... its why I am here - to just be me. This is why we are all here - to just be our wonderful radiant selves. When I truly honour myself and my truth - then I walk a very beautiful life and I feel great - and then mostly - the people around me feel good too. Yes - there are times - when being me requires that I do not do what someone else's ego wants me to do. This will cause that ego to perhaps flare up and get upset with me.... but - this is not them being their full selves...and who shall I honour more - their ego, or their true selves? Who shall I honour more... my ego or my true self? I honour us both more - by being true to me, as in this way - I am being true to them too. So - there may be a brief ego storm - but - it will pass and the sun will shine again, and I will be safe in the calm center of my full being... it does not have to touch me or blow me off course- no more than a brief storm bothers me when I am snuggled up inside sipping hot chocolate. In fact - we will both be much happier for the loving truth - we will both grow from it. Much love to all on this beautiful southern spring day!! Hello there - while this is my 17th blog post - it is the 30th day of this challenge I set for myself. I have just been away in Melbourne - taught a great workshop which was very deep. I came back feeling high - but also very tired - so went to bed very early last night and slept in this morning. I am feeling tired today... so I started my day with a relaxing bath. This is one of those days where it would be so easy to just allow myself to let go and not do much more... and sometimes that is the right thing to do...but today - its not... Today I need to keep on going. I need to get back into my routine and give myself the right things that will bring my energy levels back up. I know that eating fresh fruit and raw food is good for me - but honestly - I don't feel like doing that..however - its the right things for me today - so - I am doing it - despite my ego wanting to reach for the quick and easy fix. My ego really wants to be lazy... I did give myself good rest time and I did lie in a bath, relax and read - but to continue is not the right thing. I know there are things I need to do today - and doing them will make me feel good... so I am sorry dear ego - its not a total laze out today - its a compromise. There are things that will make me feel good, and that I need to do to lift my field.... ahhh - but can you see how I am having to talk myself into doing them? Yes - it takes that extra reach - that decision to choose the things that best serve me, and then to reach for them - to strive for them - against my other self wanting to give in and just sleep and read and eat junk. Its the eat junk thing that gives it all away as being the lazy cop out!!! Sleep yes - I have listened to my bodies need for that and I have given it what it needs. Relax - yes - I have given that to myself as well... but cop out - no.... there is this part that does want to cop out - that wants to reason with me and say -"well you have done so much and just come back from teaching - and and and".... and its actually wanting to avoid taking the next step. It has fear... its actually afraid of the growth that is happening and the changes. It does not want to take those next steps yet - as its all feeling too much too fast and too big.... let me rather stay back in the discomfort I know...hahah... there is it.. the fear that the ego holds of growth. So - with much love and compassion for that side of myself - I reach out and in - to the me who can stand up and who can take the right actions... my Higher Self... and this self lovingly makes me herbal teas, and leads me to the ginger which always gives me an energy boost... who gives me the time out I need and also knows when its time to get up and get moving - as when I move I feel good. This same self got me jogging on the spot while running my bath and touching my toes and doing some exercises... and yes - I do feel much better for it. Its this same me that is making me sit here and write the next blog.. saying -" keep on going - you can do it.... just keep on taking the next step - just one more step today - come on - you are doing so well - just take another step today and then you can rest and relax again.. and reward yourself - you have it in you - yes - you can!!" This lovely self takes my hand away from the quick fix junk and reaches instead for the quick fix and easy to eat fruit... see - its still fast and easy - just better for you dear one. This voice - is the voice of loving compassion - leading me forwards to be a better me every day.... this is the one to listen to.... and so I will. let your voice lead you today - even if just for an hour - listen to that other you today and see what steps you can keep taking to take you to a better you. Much love Arleen I have mentioned before that I am married to a wonderful man. He is someone I call my beautiful beloved... unless I am out of my center - then I can call him all sorts of names - and some of them none too flattering. The same goes for all the other beautiful people in this world. The truth is - when I am grumpy - I see the world through my grumpy glasses - and then - you are all just horrid things that annoy me. Well - let's take that truth deeper - if I am the grumpy one wearing grumpy glasses - then I am the one filled with horribleness and I am seeing my own internal workings reflected back at me... and you are all just mirrors... a reflective surface that I am projecting my stuff onto. Thank you for bearing the brunt of my grump! I am not saying that there are not truly horrid things out there in the world - there are. There are people out there that are so out of their center - and who have forgotten who they truly are - and are being that horribleness they feel inside all over. But that is the key - they are not being present to their true self - they are not being centered in their beautiful spirit being. If we were truly centered in our spirit self - we could not actually do those horrible things to others. Bringing this back to myself... I have noticed that when I am telling myself old stories and replaying bad experiences from my past - over and over in my head - then I seem to attract the moodiness in others... and my experience of them - and of myself - is a reply of that old story in some way. I have also noticed that when I am in my body as a more spiritual being - more aware of my full self - then I seem to tell myself good things in my head - and then - the people around me seem to reflect that - and I experience more of their beautiful selves. So the key seems to be present. What does being present mean? For me - its being in the moment. Being aware of all that is around me in an awakened way - in this state - life is magical. Its beautiful. Its alive. I am aware that I am a spiritual being having a physical experience. I can feel the energy of this. I can feel the life force in all that is around me. My mind is a good place to be. I am aware of my thinking and I am conscious of what I choose to think and dwell on - knowing that its a creative magnetic force that draws more of what I dwell on to me. My dearest beloved husband is often at the receiving end of my thought experiments. Thank you dear one. I noticed once - that as I lay in bed thinking negative thoughts - my hubby rolled over away from me - and he was fast asleep. I did not think much of this at the time.. but - then I started to think of something really quite beautiful and suddenly he rolled back over towards me. I wondered if this was just coincidence, so being the curious being that I am - I consciously shifted my thoughts to negative again - not of him - just something negative... and he rolled again... Poor chap - I continued with switching thoughts in random combinations for some time - and he responded to each positive and negative with a roll towards and away from me. I did repeat this experiment over a few nights just to check if this was the case every time... it was. This showed me - to my mind anyway - that there was definitely some form of force at work here. So take this deeper - if I am projecting something negative towards life - then life responds by reflecting that negativity back at me (in this case one could think of it as a form of rejection)- and then if I am projecting something positive towards life - then life responds in a positive way back to me (Acceptance). So - am I subconsciously impacting on all those around me with my own thoughts? Does this mean I should try and think about those people I am interacting with in a higher way, or just think more positive thoughts in general? Will this impact on how I experience them and life in general in the future? You will have to try this out for yourself to figure it out - but for me - I can say that yes - this is very true. When I expect the worst from someone - I get it - one way or another. If I am in a downer mood - then all sorts of things go wrong for me. Likewise - when I hold a positive thought towards someone - or just any positive thought if I struggle to think of them in a positive way - then at best - I get a neutral reaction from them, or they just are not on my radar - or... I get something positive... either way - win win... for them and for me. Now - they do have free will and free choice - so this is not a case of mind manipulating them to give me what I want. What I find is that the situation changes to a more positive one for the highest good of all. That phrase - "Highest good for all" - is the outcome I try to hold in mind - and no - I am no saint and far from perfect - so this is not my everyday always experience.... this is just something I strive for... WHEN I REMEMBER TO DO SO!!! Its got to be a conscious act and eventually - I believe - with enough practice - will become more of a habit. Lets face it - we became negative through practice - so fair enough - it may well take some practice to become more positive. Much love Arleen I do not think I have ever really understood what it really means to be free before. I have always understood the concepts and spoken about it - but to really feel it - that is something new. We talk about freedom in so many ways - emotional freedom, freedom of expression, financial freedom etc... but - what does it really mean? I went into my deep morning meditation the other day - all of 10 minutes - and in the middle of it - I suddenly thought - I am free - and I really felt it. Its a feeling and a mind set - its got nothing to do with what I do or do not have in my life. Its a feeling - that no matter what happens out there - and no matter what I am bound to in various contracts ... those are external things - and are not impacting on my soul - on my life force. In essence - I am energy. Energy is free. You can channel it and you can hold it and do things with it - but.. in and of itself - it is free. Any thoughts of being tied down or bonded in any way - are thoughts. Yes - I have rent to pay and that is a contact..but even so - within that contract - I am free if I feel free. I choose to honour the contracts - but they do not need to feel like a form of bondage that strangles me. In the past - they have always felt like they have huge weight - likes balls and chains and shackles - and I have felt dis-empowered... and freedom was something that could only be attained once this contract was complete or that bill paid - or this thing done. When this happens - then I am free to do this or that - and when this happens - then I will feel free.... so there have always been all these conditions I need to meet before I can feel free. Of course - with this sort of thinking - then the magnetic attraction of thoughts comes into action and just draws more and more bondage to itself - and freedom remains an idea - but not something that can ever be attained. What if we are just free anyway?? We are energy - we are souls... and souls are always free. What if the feeling of freedom is the first step to attaining freedom in all other areas of life? This is the feeling I really connected to the other day. I am not my beliefs or programming. I am not my contracts... I am not stuck.. it just has been feeling that way. There are no real chains and metal balls hanging off my body - its all just concepts. These things are given weight - and we give them that weight.. and then they feel heavy and we can become burdened under their weight. But - I am energy. I am soul. I am spirit. My thoughts become my reality. So - if I feel free and think free - then I am free...and no paper contracts can feel like a heavy burden - unless I think them that way. This does not mean that I do not honour them - I do - but in a very different way. I do so without the agony...without the pain and burden.. and perhaps... they then are removed and dismantled from my life a lot faster if I detach from the old meaning I have given them... if I remove the weight and burden of them. I see that I can be in a physical prison - but I can still be free. I think this is something Nelson Mandela learned... they put him in prison and they made him do physical labour - however - they never took his mind - they never took his freedom - he always had that - and that was why he could be there and find peace, and why peace eventually won over... because he was already free. Freedom is a state of mind , and it results in a feeling of being free... and then - the more we feel and think this way - the more our lives will begin to reflect it in all other areas. So my freedom does not occur when various burdens and contracts are lifted off me - my freedom is already there - and the more I can feel that and think in that way - the more various burdens and contracts will dissipate and be lifted off me. Hmmm...this is rather delicious and I think needs a lot more time to be spent feeling it. Much love Arleen As I sit here and contemplate what I have learned over the last few days that I need to share with you...the words - "Trust - Everything is OK" - come to mind. I am feeling good. Things are working out. Things have been up and down. But - everything really is OK. My bank account is not yet overflowing with $$ - but I have enough for now. I have a lovely home to live in. I have good food to eat. I have clients sending me messages about how well things are working out after balances. I have a wonderful family and very special friends who are all very supportive. When I reflect on all these things - I can see that everything really is OK. Things are working out. I cannot see the solution to everything yet... but I can feel its OK. I can feel into the future , in a sense, and feel that its going to work out - its all going to fall into place and its going to be OK..because it is already OK. In fact - if I really reflect on how things actually are - right now in this moment - things are pretty good... and in many areas - things are actually great. This is the feeling I must keep hold onto and nurture and keep on reassuring my inner frightened child - we all have one of these inside us telling us panic stories of what if this and what if that???. So who do we let rule our lives? The frightened inner one or the stronger soul being that is also who we are... the adult self if you like...give it any name that works for you - but here I am talking about that part of us that is calmer and knows, and is much wiser... the one we can trust. For me - its my soul self... the one who is connected to the greater Cosmic Energy flow... and this I can trust completely. Its this part of myself that I need to connect to as much as I can - and especially when things go off track... when I feel the fear and the panic coming up to the surface... and wanting to drive me. When I become aware that there are many parts of me - and although they all have their roles in my life - I become aware that some of them are better suited to some jobs than others. I would never let a frightened child drive a car... so why would I let a frightened child drive my life? So when I feel the feeling of the frightened panicky one taking over...I need to connect to her... I check in with her and I ask her - what do you need? So there is an observer me - always watching now - observing how things are going, and this one can ask the questions... Become aware of this in yourself... can you sense that part of you who can observe and question? You want this one to become more dominant as they can really help you. Then as the frightened child responds - the observer me can provide what is needed where possible... and that could be a reassuring voice from the stronger me - the adult me... or a call for help from an Angelic Being who I can then tap into for energetic help and inspiration. It could even be the common sense me who say - you need a mechanic/plumber/doctor - call for help. These are those moments where I breathe - and just pause for a few minutes... this pause and connection... helps put everything into perspective - and then - I get the right part of myself driving and directing/creating my life - and I get better results!! This is where I am able to start to tell myself a better story...and then start to create a better outcome - and then yes.... everything really is OK..because this I can trust to work for me. Much love Arleen What an interesting day!!! I did my first mini webinar group balance today. I had 9 wonderful people hop online with me so that I could try out the group balancing on webinar - and I am delighted to say that it worked out rather well. I was a bit nervous - not from the point of view of doing the balances - I do that well and I have no issues there - but just more from doing it all in a new way - where I am not that familiar with the technological side of things. So I just kept on taking deep breaths and affirming that technology and I love each other and all will be well... and it was. I felt a huge emotional uplifting after the session... and shed a few tears of huge gratitude for all the help and support I am getting through this process - I was so deeply touched. I have some other ideas now that I will apply for the next one - a larger group one - next week!! So - one more thing done!! This wonderful feeling then got blasted to hell by an interesting event that happened. I will admit I felt a huge energetic hit and fell right off my nice little center... So - back to the steps - express the emotions and get the steam out of my being. Beloved hubby was on hand so I just did a nice vent for a while and talked it all out of my system. I followed this by writing a few letters - not to anyone in particular -but just about the issues that this brought up... and then followed that with another discussion with the dear hubby again - who helped me see more into the whole situation and to find a good solution. Followed this with another talk to another good friend - who again has helped me see deeper into it... and keeping on breathing. No where do we need to tackle these things alone - as there are some really lovely people out there who can be these beautiful sounding boards... and there are also thousands of Spiritual beings who just love to help out... call on them!!! All is well... all is well - and handing this over to spirit to be dealt with. There is so much help out there for us when we need it and its very much a matter of reaching out and letting it in. By doing these things the steam gets a chance to be released and then the calmer me can come back into the center of my being - and from here - I know I can make the right choices and take the right actions that will serve the greater good. If I just acted immediately - then it would have been an ego re-action - not a soulful response. So I find its really helpful to just go to a safe place and vent and express the emotional stuff that gets triggered - and then reach out and just talk things through for a while to one or two really good safe neutral people who can help ... more I find that they just need to listen and reflect - they don't need to solve or fix - although often they have great insight and ideas... but - what I find will happen is that through doing these things - I can reconnect to the higher aspect of my being - and this aspect of me can take good responsible actions if needed. Many blessings dear ones Arleen |
