I woke up this morning and was not feeling that well - the room was spinning a bit and I was feeling very tired. I did my meditation and centered myself and did not push myself to walk as far as I usually do - just did a short walk - and then took care of myself. Asked my body what it needed - strong black dandelion tea and a simple slice of toast. I did this all day - just kept on checking in and giving myself what I needed when I needed it. Oddly enough - I was still able to do quite a bit of work and start working on the webinar. Since I stated this self coaching journey for change - I have asked myself to just keep on taking daily steps. This has been building up to this webinar thing. I took the plunge a few days ago by putting a post on Facebook asking for people to offer to volunteer to be part of a test group. Phew - ok - step one done. That was enough for one day - especially as over 45 people put their hands up - that is a lot! Many want to know how to do this themselves... ok - so I have a choice there- I can give into the fear and freak out - or I can just take it one step at a time. I found myself taking lots of deep breaths - doing one step - and then backing off and going to do something else. Then taking more deep breaths and taking another step - and then walking away. I am no techno whizz... I have a small notepad thingy - you know - the smaller than an ipad thingy - sitting in my desk drawer... got it for free through my car insurance... and I have no idea what I am supposed to do with it. I put things on it and I tried it out about 3 times..and then put it back in the drawer... too hard basket. So - if that freaks me out - running a webinar, making my own website and writing a blog - that's nightmare stuff!!!! Now - do you understand why the room was spinning this morning and I have been feeling like I have been whipping around a roller coaster?? This stuff scares me!!!!! I am lost. I have no clue... I just have this idea and this desire to make a change. The choice here is to give into the fear - or to move past it and invoke the courage it takes to keep on taking those next steps!! So - I am daily invoking that beautiful Divine and loving Cosmic energy (call it by whatever name works for you). I am starting my day by connecting to that energy stream and pulling it into my body. Then - many times in the day - when I talk about taking those deep breaths - I am again breathing in that Cosmic supportive Divine energy... and connecting to that aspect of me who can already do this. My beloved Hubby - Adrian Hanks - has a great name for this aspect of ourselves - he calls it "The Future potential Self". So imagine going forward in time and there you are - a greater version of you - the you who can already do all of these things - who is a whizz at webinars, for example. Tap into that self - imagine going into that self and feeling what it feels like in there..breathing it in... and then letting that self take over and coach you in what to do. On that energy stream - this has already been done - and done well - therefor - it exists and therefor - you can do it - and you have done it. So I keep on tapping into the "me who can". I let my future guide me into taking the next step. So - keep it simple - just do it one step at a time. Invoke the Cosmic Divine Energy stream - this is instant courage and support. Invoke your future positional self - the me who can and has already done it. Take the next step. Breathe - relax - reward yourself... and then do it all again when you are ready... one step at a time. So back to that webinar - today - I did not one - but two test calls. My lovely hubby already uses the platform zoom - so decided to use that one - as I have help on hand. So he did a call with me and could come into my office and show me what to do. Then my lovely friend Marianne from Norway was on hand - so we did another test call. Tomorrow -I go one step further and I will run a session with some clients using it. Then Thursday - I will run a small group balance on it with just a few more people... and then.. I will set another time - that works better for more people... step by step - and the future will reveal itself. Oddly enough - I am feeling so much better tonight - had a nana nap on the vortex mat after lunch... and then ran those two test calls... ahhhh...breathing again... see - it wasn't that bad! Much love Arleen

Today I was soaking in the bath, reflecting on what has been happening in the last few days and what to write about... what have my lessons been? I have had a wonderful weekend of love and romance with my beloved hubby, and then yesterday we had a stand at a health expo. I gave a session to a lady and much of it was about looking at what she had managed to do in a day - instead of focusing on all the things she could not yet do , or had not managed to fit into the day. So often we do so many amazing things in a day and instead of celebrating what we have achieved - we berate ourselves on all that we have yet to do. This gives us a sense of never being about to get there - and being angry and frustrated with all that we have yet to do. This pulls our energy down. A wise person once said that life is a journey - not a destination. We are supposed to enjoy the journey and revel in the discover of each step we take - delight in the sights and the experience...instead many of us complain that we are not there yet. Like children in a long car trip... are we there yet? Are we there yet?? Stop... look around you - enjoy the ride... look at the scenery - its so beautiful.. enjoy the experience of getting there...because... there is no there..its an eternally evolving journey - not a destination. Celebrate all that you have done to get here...take the time to really appreciate the effort it has taken you to get this far. Reward yourself along the way. This will give you the energy to keep going. If you whine and complain along the way - its becomes so hard and tedious and you end up wanting to give and and just go back. This is like someone who takes on the challenge of swimming across the English channel... they swim and swim and swim and swim... and its foggy and misty so they can't see the shore yet, so they don't know how close they are...and they get frustrated so they turn around and go back. Had they just kept on going they would have arrived at the shore... it was foggy and they could not see it - that does not mean its not there. Once they get there though - they have achieved this part of the journey - but - if they are adventurous - they could keep going and explore the wonderful world on the other side. On the other hand... its a good idea to have a goal and a destination... and to aim for it - absolutely. This gives you the direction to focus on. But, if you keep looking back at all that is not right and all that is wrong in life - its like walking backwards on this journey... and that does not work out that well, as when I do that - I tend to trip over things and fall over and walk in circles and bang into things. You have to keep your goal and your destination in mind... but - along the way - enjoy the process and celebrate each step you take - celebrate all the little victories you achieve... and these are the building blocks that take you to the mayor goal - the big victory. The building is built from hundreds of small bricks... not one huge one. So many people live life backwards.... they complain about not being where they want to be - and about all the things that they did not get and all the things that are wrong in life... but... they are not focused on what they want..they are focusing on all the things they do not want - so they then move towards those things they do not want - as they are walking backwards. You move towards what you look at - or what you focus on... if you want more good stuff - then focus on all the good stuff you already have achieved - on all the good stuff that is already in your life... at everything that is already working - at all the things that you have going in your favour... and hold that focus and celebrate it. Feel the gratitude for it...this acts like a powerful magnet and pulls more of it to you and pulls you in the direction you want to go because that is what you are looking towards and focusing on -while celebrating and enjoying the journey - it gives you energy. So today - look at all that you have achieved... celebrate all these mini victories and you will see how many are actually large major victories. Feel how great that is.... and then use that energy to pull you along the journey towards what you want. Much love Arleen Its my 11th Wedding anniversary with my beloved hubby really is scoring high on brownie points this year - with a surprise date to the Sydney Symphony Orchestra performance of Stravinsky's Firebird, among other beautiful pieces. What a special romantic and beautiful evening. I was once a classical clarinet player, and have a music degree - so music is very very special to me. When I listen to music like this - its not just sounds going over me - but through me and into my cells. The music really touches my heart and I feel the music with every fiber of my being. I can be totally transported to the spiritual realms... and into heightened states. I become very present with the music. I realised that there are many times a day I let this happen in other areas of life - but - why am I not striving to become more conscious of the effect of being so present and connected to more of life in even more areas? When I eat something that is really wonderful - I let the flavour and the smell and the taste really come alive in me... I totally awaken to the experience... its an amazing thing to do - I call these toe curling ecstatic experiences. You know the food is really good when my toes curl up. When I am outside - I lift my head to the sun - with eyes closed - and really connect to the energy of the sun - feeling it penetrate my cells and bring the energy into any areas of my body that need its life giving energy and warmth. When I see a beautiful flower - I really take the time to look deep into it.. to touch it and really feel it... to smell it and let that sense wake up different areas in my body. When I see a beautiful dancer moving - I see in wonder.. I let their performance touch my heart and my soul.... they move me. When I look deep into the eyes of someone I love - I reach in there right deep into the soul to see them - really see them.. for who they really are... no thoughts in my head - just a full sensing.... So I find myself thinking - why not do this for more things in life - for the more ordinary.. the more mundane...?? How will this impact me?? So I tried it out today...I went with my hubby to watch his eldest son play a footy match... and while I am a great fan of this beautiful young man - I am not the greatest footy fan... so why not just sit there in deep appreciation and just be present and see what happens?? I found myself in awe of the dedication of these young men doing their thing... the energy moving through their bodies - the absolute focus and presence it takes to be able to catch that ball and kick it... the delight and the pain they experience... the love they feel for it.... the sun in the sky...the smell of the grass - the delight of the supporters... the absolute focus and dedication of the flag holders... In all of this I found myself becoming more at one with it all...more accepting of it all.. more in awe of life... and more in connection with the pure essence of life that is pulsing in every moment in everything... my mind became calm and clear and my heart opened.. and I felt very alive and present.... fully there... with very few thoughts running through my mind - just a beingness. I did the same with a cup of tea.... the warmth from the cup... the smell...the feel of it in my mouth and going into my body... my bodies reaction to it... and with it all a deep appreciation for all that had to happen so that I could have that moment of bliss with tea. I have been doing this with many things today... just really taking a moment to be fully present with something I am doing or someone I am with - or something I am seeing.... It brings me into a much deeper sense of being and knowing... I am totally there ... in all the deeper aspects of my soul... its really beautiful. Try it out - just be there and really experience - with all your cells and senses...and see what happens... let you food move you - really be present to the taste - really smell it - look at it - taste it....experience it.... Watch someone - anyone.... and really be there with them in that moment - really see past their clothes and how they are doing whatever they are doing... and sense into them... the deeper being that is there.... Look at a flower... really look into it - feel it - sense it... feel how it makes you feel and the impact it has on you - touch it...smell it...experience it. Life can be such an enlivening and yummy experience. Much love Arleen I was not too sure what I was going to write about today - until my daughter tagged me in a Facebook post about a young boy who gives strangers flowers because he likes to make them smile. In our family - we have random days... we love to give things or do things for strangers - to see them smile. For me this all started a long time ago when I saw the movie - "Pay it forward" about a young boy who comes up with a school project to change the world - where he would do 3 things that really meant something - and in exchange - those people who received - would pay it forward to 3 other people and so forth. So I have always held that idea that sometime in my life I would love to do this for others... and I have managed to do so in a number of ways. The reality is - I get huge pleasure from this - so its not actually just one sided about selfless giving - because there is always a form of receiving that happens in giving. I did not realise this until I started to do it. I thought originally - wow what a lovely altruistic thing to do...but I discovered that I got a huge amount in return for giving... and I became hooked. I get a real kick out of seeing people happy - and I love to do secret things where people do not know its me - but I know.... and I can just imagine the delight they get... it can be something little - it does not need to be some huge thing that costs a fortune. I love to give flowers to strangers - in fact its become a family game... where we get a feeling that someone somewhere needs flowers... so we buy a bunch or pick a bunch and then go look for the owner... its wonderful...and the stories that come from them when they tell you why its them who needs the flowers on that day. It can be doing little things like handing the cashier an extra $5 to be deducted off the next persons shopping and not hanging around to see their face. Or popping a little gift into someones post box - just because.... or writing a letter to someone...sending a card to someone... anything really - and as simple and small as smiling at someone and saying hello. I have discovered that in this gift of giving - I receive so much... the joy and the delight is contagious and so uplifting. My heart expands and I feel good... so really - giving is self serving in so many ways when done from this space. It does not work this way if we give from expectation or resentment - that brings us down - but when we give with no expectations and no requirement - it is so freeing and rewarding. I have been deeply blessed in my life where people have given to me like this - or helped me in some very beautiful ways that have made a huge impact on my life. I am always grateful for these experiences. I sometimes found it so hard to accept and oddly - those where I felt guilt or doubt about the gift -things turned sideways with it all. Those where I was able to truly receive in the mode it was offered have taken me so far in my life. So we need to see how we are giving and how we are receiving. Are we doing so out of guilt? Do we feel obliged? Do we feel resentment at any level? Are there strings attached? Is it all open and clear about what is expected? Are there expectations? Its ok if there are - we just have to be clear about it so that the energy flow is there. Its the hidden stuff where we are not clear, that leads to trouble later, and all sorts of confusion and upsets. So when we give - lets be clear about our intentions behind it, and likewise when we are receiving. This will free the energy flow so much more. So today - think about this and watch yourself, and our own motives. There is no right and wrong here - but an awareness that clarity and openness will go a long way to releasing old patterns and blockages about giving and receiving. Much love to all Arleen Today I am having fun with that little devil called "Procrastination". Some days I feel like I just can't get into things and that its a bit of an uphill battle to get moving - the world is made of sludge...and moving in it is just more difficult than other days. So - I pulled myself together and sat down to do some balances - and I was the first priority... priority - Release of Toxic Structures. The up end of it all is that I was talking myself down today - not up. I was feeling sludgy - so the world was sludgy - and instead of helping myself by stopping and connecting - I talked myself down. In the balance - I needed to express my emotions - and so I stood by my window and just started to talk it through... I feel flat, I feel irritated, I feel impatient... I feel frustrated.. I feel annoyed.. I feel etc... and at the bottom was me talking me down... saying some rather unpleasant things to myself... and this - was not really the adult me talking at all - this was a teenage me. In digging deeper I find that is not even my voice - its a voice from my past that I have embodied. If I am talking to myself like this at a deeper level - then of course the world is going to feel like sludge and feel difficult. There is no way I can feel like someone who can be highly functioning with that going on inside. The teenager just gets into -why bother? Its too hard? You're not going to succeed anyway etc.... and with that comes the good old sabotage patterns of procrastination - finding distractions and putting things off and then of course feeling worse because you have not done what you set out to do - and then you are in the hamster wheel of beating yourself up. That is not a wining story. So then I needed to connect to a higher being... I have a huge being of light I connect to - I just felt the energy of this being infuse me and hold me.... making me lighten up!! In this space I start to talk to myself differently - I talk myself back up. I am , at my heart - a good person - good things happen to good people. I have what it takes to create the life I want to live. I love my work and people seem to love it too and seem to benefit - well they tell me that - so it must be true - because they keep coming back for more - that can't be happening just because they want to be nice!! I have a wonderful family and they love me too. Life is actually very good and the sun is shining - and its beautiful, and there are wonderful birds that come to my window every day - and sing just outside my window - what an amazing place to live and work from. My health is improving. My work is improving all the time. I get paid to do what I love in an environment that I love, working with people I love. I am supported by Diving Beings of Brilliant light... I am not alone. I tap into this support and feel so much love and so much support... its ok... I would never be given anything I cannot handle - so the help is there - I just have to let it in. Next question I need to ask myself - "Lesson to learn and new choices to make"... ahhh yes.... I am not alone so I don't have to do anything on my own - there is an entire Universe of Divine beings there to help me each step of the way. If I talk myself down - everything feels down and then appears to be doing down. If I talk myself up then things go up and life goes up too. So - I now choose to accept the Divine help and support that is there for me, and that will show up in any number of ways that are perfect for me. I now Choose to talk myself up and to be more loving and compassionate to myself...after all - the one who feels down is younger me....and she deserves my love, understanding and compassion. So - where are you involved in similar patterns of self talk? It is helping you or hindering you? What can you do to change how to talk to yourself? What can you tap into to feel better about yourself and your life? Next time you see dear old Procrastination - stop and take some time to listen inwards - what is the inner conversation? Help the one inside to come back upwards...don't step on them...help them. Much love Arleen Today I had a balance with my dear friend Dimitri, who just does Life Alignment for his own growth and pleasure... but he is a very gifted practitioner. We have regular swap balances... as I do with a few other practitioners like Reni Armbruster. These dear people help me keep on track - and I highly recommend that you find a group of people that you can receive swap sessions with - especially if you are a practitioner of sorts yourself... its so good to receive as well as give. My balance today found old anger and resentment and a good dose of fear still stuck in there... this was old stuff - stuff I have been working with for some time.. but there was this resistant sticky layer that was still sitting in there. I knew it was there - I saw it on my morning walk as my head went wafting off into an old story that was pretty negative - and I caught it and found myself thinking - "wow - I am still telling myself this story?...That means I am still holding onto it and therefor will find it perpetuating in my life... do I really want to keep on playing a stuck old records that has an outcome I don't even like???" So we went deeper into it - finding the location in the body where it was sitting and then shifting the final layers into the light... this does not mean that the old pain body is happy to let it go. No - our ego loves our old negative fear based stories... they are designed to keep us into the "devil we know" vs "devil we don't know" so - called safety patterns... safe for our ego - as it loves this gooey stuff... but not good for soul development, happiness and progress. This is where consciousness comes in - connecting to the highest aspect of ourselves that can lovingly take the other side into hand and guide us into better choices - gently - and sometimes - not too gently - talking to us... "Arleen - listen to yourself...you're telling the old story again - you know that what you focus on becomes a vibration that brings more of this to you... is this what you want to attract? Is this the lower vibration you want to sit in right now?? No..it is not. So - what can you focus on instead? What story can you rather tell yourself? What can you look at to shift gear right now???" So I stop and take a breath and reconnect - coming back into the present moment - and then reassure my smaller self, and start to focus on all the good things in my life - and all the positive aspects - and soon - I am feeling pretty good...and then - I become inspired and energised again. Yes - this takes a bit of work - it takes a bit of effort - but my day is so much better for it.. and the results show... things do get better...my health improves... my energy levels improve - and I get happy!!!! So its time to let go of these old stories - and yes - it will be a work in progress.. we have invested a lot in these old stories - well - our ego has.... and is somewhat addicted to them. So practice things that make you feel better... find the stories that are uplifting... let yourself day dream into good stories instead of having nightmares in your daily mind. See how this changes your day and your daily performance. Its worth the effort.... you - are worth the effort. Much love Arleen All work and no play makes for a dull day. If we are working from a "work hard" program - we drive , drive , drive and don't stop to play and relax. Thankfully this is a lesson I have been learning along the way - but - to do it without guilt... that can be another thing. Mostly - I get it right now - and can take breaks and rests without guilt and without that old voice that nags about working hard... if you don't work hard you don't get anywhere in life - etc etc.. There is a better phrase to learn - work smarter - not harder. This refers to working with the right attitude...working with a plan...working with the right mind set. Also - working from a place of passion... of heart... which then results in not working so much as in being and flowing... and playing. So it all about balance really... if you work hard and are in a grumpy space - you will never produce the right kinds of results - and will take longer over it all...and - what you produce will have a lower energy - and be of a lesson quality. If you are tired - take a break. Just stop - take a walk...stop for a while and just breathe... reconnect to the beauty in life. Day dream for a little while... for me - I connect to my cosmic energy place... the flow of life. Here I just rest a while... I let the problems go into something bigger than me - some place where the solutions already are - and I just let go for a while. No - I don't have it perfect yet - I am a constant work in progress... but... the more I do remember to do this - the more things start to work out. You cannot think with a super stressed mind... you go into fight and flight mode then and its just about survival... and that is not a thinking place... its a super stressed panicked place. So deal with what most urgently needs dealing with and then just stop... breathe... have a glass of water - take a walk if you can.. stop and smell the flowers...watch an ant.... look at the birds - the sky... lift your head up towards the sun...and feel it shining on your face - imagine it filling you up with energy. Hand the problem over to something bigger than you... your soul... your guides... your God - whatever works for you... and just let go for a while...cry of you need to - stamp if you need to - get the emotions out of the way by expressing them in a safe way... let go..... Sometimes I just lie on the earth and feel the support of being held....and I remind myself - its ok. Let go...let God - wonderful saying - that actually works. Then... in time...solutions start to find their way to you... things calm down... amazing things can happen then. The creative part of your being will come up with the solutions - and it could even be that the solutions find you - because you stopped long enough for them to catch up with you. So take time daily to just stop... smell the roses... feel the sun....let go....breathe - reconnect. Much love Arleen Hello there. I am a day late writing this blog post.... I was relaxing after a great massage yesterday, and just needed to rest. Yesterday I did a balance on my vision board for the word - receiving... which developed into the phrase "I am open to receiving my good". I was testing weak on this statement. This means no amount of positive affirmations etc would work fully, as I would be somehow blocking the flow or sabotaging the ability to receive, or say yes to the wrong offers, that were not for my highest good. In the process of the balance I was able to see that I did not fully trust that those giving were doing so without an ad-gender, and so I would find myself in doubt, hesitant, not fully trusting, and then overcompensating to make sure that I gave back to them in full plus interest, in whatever ways I could. This all links back to those previous balances with the hidden guilt I was carrying and also to the linked issue of deservabilty. It was never enough for me to just say thank you - I had always felt I had to then somehow make it up to whoever it came through, in all the ways I could imagine...for fear of punishment and anger. So receiving became an form of dis-empowerment for me, not empowerment. I will do it and I will do it myself - became safer. This backfired a lot in my past. I have been working on this for some time now - so in many ways it has really changed - and lately the offers coming through have been very pure and of serving the highest good for all involved... but still - I found myself overcompensating. So this time I went even deeper and worked with what I found there - to melt away the old programming and fears... and really open to receiving "all that is mine by Divine Right". We each have a flow that is ours to receive by "Divine Right"... and to receive this we need to be in the flow of energy - to be in the flow of BEING an expression of our true selves. So here I came across my next belief.... that "I have to work hard. It can't come to me easy." I know many people have this program running amok in their heads. So this was all linking to a previous balance that Reni Armbruster (the amazing Life Alignment practitioner and teacher in Switzerland - a great inspiration in my life and beautiful friend), and I worked on just a week ago - about going into the flow of life - into the flow of the energy of the universe... and there is no effort there- there is huge loving support there.. and its easy to be there. In that balance we tapped into this amazing energy and just allowed it to flow through us... and that is most likely what led to this blogging journey I am on. Part of the homework from that - was to tap into this energy ten times a day - which I have been doing. It is amazing what has happened in such a short time since doing this as a regular practice - and its this energy I am tapping into in my longer morning meditations. So - since letting go of the hard work - and tapping into the flow... and then letting go of old guilt and pain etc., that is not mine to carry - and now - opening to receive from good sources for the highest good of all... I have been receiving. People who have long owed me money have started to pay, others are paying me in advance, others are booking into courses and booking sessions, I have booked into some shows to promote my work, I have this website and blog up and running - and an offer to make it all a lot more professional when the time comes, an incredible astrological session, and then my beautiful hubby has offered me regular massages (and he is amazing), and then breakfast in bed this morning... and the list goes on. So its time to look into these old belief systems around deservabilty and receiving. What are yours? How are they serving you? What can you do to change them? What new stories can you tell yourself about yourself in these areas of life instead? Much love Arleen Today I have been very aware of making conscious choices to support myself and my body for my highest good. This morning it was raining, and raining hard ...and it was cold. This meant that my usual morning walk, which is my exercise, was not an option. It may well have been an option for some really brave people out there- but for me - who seriously dislikes being cold and wet - its just not an option. So - I could have just not exercises - as I have in the past... or - I could make another choice for exercise. Its interesting - being on this path I have taken and being my own daily client - I can already feel the shift - as today I felt the need to exercise! This is new... this is unusual. I either swim or walk, or do both in summer... but... this desire and need to exercise when my favourite options are not available... this is new! So - a choice to exercise - to find a solution... I chose to pull out the yoga mat and do some yoga. I did not let the fact that I could not remember the moves stop me - after all - that would be an excuse -as this is 2016 and we have internet... and it was working today!! So - I downloaded the very useful images of "Salute to the Sun" , popped on some lovely music, and got started...with the curtains closed! I did yoga a long time ago and right now - it would be very amusing to watch me attempting to do these moves- as simple as they are. However - a start is a start and I actually felt really good afterwards... even remembered a few other poses after a while, so popped them in. This has made my daughter somewhat inspired to do yoga with me on the weekends... ummm... she is a ballet dancer and does yoga at school... so this will be fun... I will grunt into a semi-position while she wraps her leg somewhere near her ear... oh well - what is life without some humour?? The point here is that it does not matter so much what you do or how great you are at doing it - just made the decision to do it and start...and you will get there eventually - and in making the start - you feel pretty good!!!! Another area I have found myself making conscious choices in in diet. Now on the whole I have a pretty good diet anyway - low sugar and low junk food and mostly organic. However... sometimes I have been eating for comfort and eating out of habit, or taking a quick easy option even thought its not really what my body needs. Today I found myself being a lot more aware of eating for nourishment. What does my body really need vs what does my ego want? I found myself not needing to eat breakfast at all. I just wanted tea, and followed this later with a juice (freshly made). Then later went into lunch - but again - not the fastest option - but just stopped for a moment and asked my body - what do you really need? It did not take long to make - but it was a much better option with much better energy results. How often are we charging around and just grabbing something to fill a gap and not actually being conscious about what it is we are doing? I never did that much with my children when they were growing up... I always made sure I had healthy snack options for them so that if we were in a hurry - a solution was there...so why not give myself the same level of care? Think about it... if the external world is a reflection of my internal world... if I do not take the time to care for me - what am I going to attract as a reflection in my external world? A world that seems as if it does not have time to care for me and will put me last , or lower in the order of priorities!!! So again - it comes to conscious choices here. What do I want to attract in my life and in my world experiences? I want to feel loved, cared for, nurtured, provided for, secure, safe, happy etc.... This means that in order to attract those things as world external experiences... I have to make sure I do these things for myself. So I need to love myself... treating myself the way I do for those that I love and care for... this means making sure I get play time, enough sleep, am warm and comfortable, am eating healthy food which is good for me (yes with the treats as well - but predominantly healthy).... and so the list goes on. I have to become as good a caregiver towards myself, as I am for my children and other beloveds. Much love Arleen I was very privileged to receive an Astrological Alignment from the very gifted Jeanette Jones (www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008275803075). Wow... this is going to take a few months to fully integrate. I really got to connect more deeply to all that I am. I met more of these amazing beings that are walking by our side - day by day and moment by moment. They are so fulled with love for us and really want to just help us... but - we have to let them. This is the reality about help. There often is a lot more help out there than we would like to think... part of us can be so stuck in our story of having to do it all by ourselves (note - there should be music here..singing..All by myself.....). What useless old programing that is!!!Time to toss that one. Ask yourself for a moment here - when last did you openly and willing allow help to come to you? How often are we wanting help from a specific person in a specific way - instead we could be opening up - asking for the help and allowing it to come in any of the many hundreds of ways the universe is sending it to us. We ask - it gets sent - but its not in a format our ego wanted - so we ignore it and complain about it...and ask again - so it gets sent again - in another form - and so on and so on and so on...... Yes - we do have to be discerning - not all help offered is ideal for us in our setting. Just yesterday I was approached by the most wonderful couple talking about a business idea - which is a great one... however - not on my path. So - if any of you are looking for a great business idea - let me know and I will put you in touch with them - they are very special and will help you all they can. Another thing I was made more aware of through today's session - is the stuff I carry that is not necessarily mine. I was carrying guilt... not mine... genetic...inherited... but with this in my vibration would attract situations where I felt I was somehow to blame no matter what was going on... had to be my fault some how.... and then of course would attract situations where I would get blamed for things and suspected... again - without real cause - but... it you carry a vibration of guilt - even if its not yours - then its very easy to be suspected of things you have not done. With this also comes the feeling that you do not deserve to succeed or be rewards - you must be punished... so that becomes the attraction and the sabotage. Along similar lines is carrying the pain of generations - the pain of woman, or the pain of men. Some of this pain was my own yes - but much of it was not.... So - what to do with it? I let it move through me and let it pass... the guilt surfaced - I faced it and called on help - realised its not mine and let it move.... the pain came up...intense too... some of it was mine - I owned it and l expressed it and then let it move through, and the parts that were from eons back - owned it - acknowledge it for what it as - expressed it and let it move through me. It is not that easy to do as it does hurt...but - take comfort in the fact - that once out - you feel so much better - so much lighter and with so much more energy...and also - much clearer... and in letting go of this old stuff - you are free to attract a new way of being, and new experiences. The guilt one I have been working on for a few years now - it came up first in a balance with Jeff Levin in Module 6 Life Alignment training. That freed me so much already... today I took a deeper step with it. What I noticed after the balance with Jeff was that guilt would come up - and I could see it - it sometimes still had a grip on me - but I knew what it was. Also - when others tried to blame me for things that were not mine - I could see it.... and I could find ways to gently express that - and sometimes in firmer ways when needed...I am sorry - but this is not my stuff and I am not to blame. So how much stuff are we all carrying and letting filter our experience of the world - that is not even ours? Today - think about all the things you take on that are not yours to take on or carry. For each thing that you identify - put an item in your pockets and walk around with it..and make it heavier if its very heavy to carry. Get a bag or backpack if needed...physically do this. How is this helping you to carry all this stuff around with you? How does it impact you...energetically, emotionally etc?? What do you want to do about it? Do you really need to carry it? If not - time to toss it. We are all so much bigger and so much more powerful than we can imagine... and we have so much help there for us as we go along... tap into the help and the love that is there for you!!!
