Conscious Identification

The very essence of everything we want is that state of being that says, “I am in the right place at the right time.”

Right here, right now, we have the choice to personify this state of being and in so doing, be-come that which we are wanting. Law of Attraction, because it is law, then has no choice but to transform this energy into a new form, into our physical experience, one that matches our state of being.

Be.

Become.

Be, Come.

Be, it comes.

It is Law.

Circumstances, conditions, contracts, debates, bills, rainclouds, questions nor their answers control the freedom you have in any moment… in any moment… to embrace this choice with a resounding, “yes”.

I choose to feel wellbeing right here, right now.

Sense your allowing, sense your willingness.

It is when we find ourselves believing that our freedom is controlled by circumstances that we limit our perspective of our vibrational state of alignment with who we really are; beings of wellness, wellness being.

Reiki says, All is Well, and so the path of the conscious healer is one in which contrast is seen as just that: contrast.  And the beauty of working with Reiki is that it matter not what we do, what we believe and what we expect, it goes to that place within us that has no words and it resonates with who we really are. And so, it feels like a natural shift and we are able to notice ourselves being different without the need to control what we think.

We realize that contrast is just that when we see it in the presence of Reiki.

The path of the conscious healer is one in which we realize that the essence of everything is Source energy and because of this, because we are all connected to this original energy, we can all relate to this vibration.

So what is this vibration, that transcends language, culture, beliefs - circumstances, happenstance and synchronicity?

It is the vibration of unconditioned love.

The belief that circumstances control freedom is identification with form, it is our physical mind, which only understands linear cause and effect reality, assuming the role of “I”.

“I” can only do/be/have if/when.

“I” am this/that/the other

It is when we find ourselves limited by this identification that negative emotion occurs.

It is not the form that causes identification nor is it the act of identification that causes negative emotion… It is our chosen or accepted relation to the form and to the reason for our wanting to identify with it that produces our reaction to it. (read that again)

So from our state of Being, we can identify with something consciously and because it is a conscious choice it is imbued with Source, with wellbeing.

Our identification is deliberate and so it is experienced from our place of detachment: it is what it is, and I am letting love in.

If our reaction is negative, if we feel worry, anxiety or old patterns creeping in it is an indication that our freedom is calling, it is our Source self saying, re-cognize me, be unconditional, be unconditioned. Love.

By being present to our negative emotion, by allowing it to be while allowing you to be, we are allowing our freedom to be, even in the midst of contrast. In this moment we are Source becoming aware of it’s unconditioned nature.

And so we come to realize that what we focus on is what we get and that “on” does not mean the object, person, circumstance or expectation but rather our relationship to it.

Right here, right now, we have the choice to personify the essence of everything we want by simply choosing to be here, now, in this moment and allowing ourselves to know that right here, right now, I am the right place at the right time.

You see, when our identification with form comes from our place of being here, now, it is imbued with the energy of Source. It is creative, it is energy moving, changing, evolving….. becoming, now.

It feels safe and contained instead of afraid and controlled. It is the absence of doubt, of worry and of anger. It is pure, positive energy, and with Reiki we come to know that it is like magic: we can relate with it to anything for the experience of wellbeing.

The word Source suggests origination. There is only one moment in creation. There is only one original energy, it is Now, and it is here. And we are all in it. All separate moments, is this original moment from a different vantage point.

When we realize that even in the most dire conditions there is still a liberation to be had in the deliberate choosing to give that which is not seen validation, we give ourselves immediate evidence that Source energy, the essence of everything is truly abundant, Now.

The very essence of everything we want is that state of being that says, “I am in the right place at the right time.”

Right here, right now, we have the choice to personify this state of being and in so doing, be-come that which we are wanting.

I am the right place at the right time.

The Nature of Appreciation

The first manifestation of Healing usually occurs as a shift in perspective that includes a sensation of relief, inviting us to linger here, basking in the upliftment of knowing without circumstances having to deliver this knowing, that right here, right now all is well.

Notice that this is the first manifestation of Healing: shifting perspective is a natural succession of an asking to be healed, we do not need to force our perspective to shift so healing will occur, this is like drinking a glass of water before pouring in the water. Yes if you believed that water would suddenly appear in the glass it would, so by all means, carry on drinking that empty glass of water while you work on that belief…. My bet is that it’s going to be an effort. But if what you are wanting is to experience your true nature as an eternal being, recognize that this state, because it is your NATURAL state, requires no effort…. it’s natural.

Healing, in the light of knowing that you are naturally well, that all is well, is the visceral understanding that broken does not mean bad: contrast is a vital aspect of this life experience. It is the art of loving what is while transcending what is. Healing is allowing.

There is a broader, non-physically focussed aspect of our Self that has no doubt that All is Well, there simply is no question.

There is also a denser, physically focussed aspect of our Self that believes in the reality of our temporal experience in which there is contrast which in turn poses us with the question, “is this well?” Allowing ourselves to include our non-physically focussed self into the answering of this question gives us the opportunity to realize greater and greater levels of unconditional love…. to see ordinary miracles from moment to moment.

Both of these aspects of Self, when seen as equal in value, allow us to further enhance our experience of both our eternal nature and our temporal nature as physical beings.

That part of us that is non-physically focussed has no reason to question the expansion of love. With no equal and opposite expression, why would this consciousness even be so that we could sit here together and discuss it and feel it and marvel with it?

And so we realize that in order for love to expand, in order for us as eternal beings to realize our potential (and how much fun is this?!) we choose to be here, now, in these temporal bodies in a reality that appears to be susceptible to chaos, to chance…… and we live, on the edge of illusion to create a living, evolving channel through which Love itself, the energy of Source… of our original wanting….. that creative spark that says, YES…..to be love, to be loving, to be loved…. to love love…flows freely, without effort.

“All you need is Love……”

*dancing*

Healing in the light of knowing all is well is the allowing of unconditional love to be expansive within our awareness, that is to say, healing is the allowing of new desires to be born out of contrast in a state of appreciation.

Appreciation is that which allows to be right here, right now, physically focussed on all that is within our perception while being non-physically focused in the sheer Joy of realizing it is all a beautiful illusion….

Appreciation anchors energy in the physical and it is the energy that returns it to Source. It is that which allows us to experience our temporal nature as sacred and that which allows our eternal nature to catch a glimpse of itself… through contrast and through alignment with that which we know is everlasting.

And so I remind you: The first manifestation of Healing usually occurs as a shift in perspective that includes a sensation of relief, inviting us to linger here, basking in the upliftment of knowing without circumstances having to deliver this knowing, that right here, right now all is well.

Affirming the Reiki principle: For Today…. I inhabit appreciation for all that is and all that is becoming.

All is being well in my orbit.

Why is Contrast Necessary?

Reiki is the energy of unconditioned love flowing through us as Wellness Being.

This energy of Wellness Being is accessible to us in the heart of every moment through our willingness to inhabit our true Nature as eternal beings having a physical experience.

The art of channeling Reiki is the art of allowing ourselves to experience the ever-expanding Presence of Wellbeing in ANY moment.

As channels we are aware that what we are channeling is a frequency of unconditioned love and that this invites us to suspend our physical mind’s desire to condition (how/why/where/when) the flow of love with spacetime laws and boundaries. Channeling is allowing without attachment.

What this means, in a nutshell, is that we choose to identify not with that which we are experiencing but rather with our sense of continual expansion in which we recognize healing and being healed as a natural succession of expressing desire.

Abraham-Hicks remind us that one of the most important questions we can ever answer without lying is, “am I enjoying rockets of desire that have yet to be launched?”

The degree to which we can answer “YES” to this question is the degree to which we are detached from our illusion.

This may sound paradoxical: how on earth can you be in alignment with something and detached from it at the same time? Am I not supposed to be focusing (attached to) my undivided attention on that which I am wanting?

When we viscerally understand the concept of detachment, that is to say when we experience detachment as a whole body awareness not just a mental concept, we are now free to experience the spark of Joy that propelled us into saying YES to being here now having this human experience without worry and without a lack perspective.

Living within the agreement that “For Today Only, I anger not, I worry not” (the first Reiki principle) is not to say that what we are agreeing to is manifesting a contrast free environment in which our aim is to never experience “negative” emotion.

Instead what this principle invites into is an experience of ALL emotion from a vantage point that does not identify with that which it is experiencing: *I* am not the worry/anger/anything *I* feel.

Detachment is dis-identification with form. It is the felt knowing that as eternal beings having a physical experience we are engaging within a reality that SEEMS real in order for us to realize the ever-expanding nature of unconditioned love.

The translation of Rei mirrors Einstein’s philosophy that says, “everything is energy and beyond that supreme intelligence” - the universe is the energy of supreme intelligence.

What I would like for us to come to viscerally experience, is that WE are the energy of supreme intelligence RE-COGNIZING it’s true nature: *this* is the leading edge.

Detachment allows us to experience our eternal nature as it invites us to re-member that the essence of all desire is to reach a deeper feeling experience of unconditioned love. Everything we want is just outside our comfort zone. Why? Because without contrast, how could there be evolution? Without contrast how could we, the energy of supreme intelligence, recognize the ever expanding nature of unconditional love?

Are you enjoying rockets of desire that have yet to manifest?

I invite you to listen to the Reiki for Life: Being Reiki conference call we had on the 17 September.

We did a wonderful Energy Awareness Practice in which we experienced ourselves attached to our emotional experience and then detached from our emotional experience, which gave us the contrast necessary to realize our eternal nature as ever expanding beings of wellness.

Envision Quest℠ for the Experience of Observing Energy

Reiki invites us to experience our eternal nature as we come to practice the art of observing that which we feel instead of identifying with that which we feel.

As you observe the following image, infused with the healing energies of Reiki, allow yourself to fully relax and follow the rhythm of your breathing. Inhale deep relaxation and as you exhale become aware of how your body responds to being in deep relaxation.

Use the affirmation below the image by saying it out loud and hearing your own voice. There is great power in the spoken word and even more power in hearing your own voice.

Affirming: As I enter the present moment and allow what is to be, I discover my eternal nature within all of my experiences: I am the observer of all I experience: which experience do I prefer?

This affirmation leads us into the quantum realm of possibility with a sense of deep inner knowing that what we are experiencing here is a very real affirmation of our inherent wellbeing. Take a moment to soak up this energy and give yourself the gift of returning to this energy throughout your day.

The following audio is a clip from one of our Being Reiki conference calls and it invites us to experience the difference between identifying with what we are feeling and observing it.

Please enjoy it and pass it on

I chose this image of a frog that I took while on a walk in the mountains (in Stanford, near Cape Town, South Africa) as frogs symbolize transformation, fluidity and adaptation. The energy of Frog teaches us to go with our flow, so to speak, with a sense of grace and ease.

If you are feeling a calling within you to experience the art of Being Reiki within a light-minded group of conscious creators, I invite you take a look at this exciting Reiki for Life Certification Program with Shireen Freeman and Nina Ferrell.

Do You Believe in the Power of Belief?

One of the things I get most excited about is finding evidence that our leading minds and scientists are discovering that the root of all ancient wisdom and spiritual healing practices is indeed a collective reality: we are all connected and there is power in belief.

One of these leading minds is Gregg Braden. You can visit his site here.

I came across a video on youtube in which he talks about his book The Spontaneous Healing of Belief. When I watched this clip I couldn’t help but draw parallels to the teachings and being of Reiki - very exciting indeed!

Take a look at the video here.

Reiki invites us to release attachment to outcome during healing. It asks that we detach from the story we are witnessing and instead occupy a greater knowing in the present moment in which we are able to viscerally experience the concept that All is Well.

In this way, we enter a paradox in which we allow ourselves to not know (mentally) in order to Know (in the heart of our every cell) a timeless wisdom at the core of every Now.

Here we find ourselves in a vast, new (ever-expanding) relationship with Source energy: each and every time we enter the present moment in the wake of quieting the mind, we invite ourselves to experience deeper connection, more vivid communion, more ease of being in the flow of Source energy.

From this space of being we are able to more consciously choose which energies we prefer to animate our experience of Life. It is always when we trust the energies we prefer that we are now free to believe them without doubt.

One of the things we spoke of together in our August conference call is that all of creation happens in the channel of our perception and that there is immense power in our belief.

I want to remind you here that since energy cannot be created or destroyed, it only moves in and out of form, when we find ourselves wanting to see our world through a perspective of unconditional love, of enhanced wellbeing and ever-expanding abundance of Being in joy, we are only to allow the current energies to return to Source and be willing to have it transform itself in the channel of our perception.

Allowing.

Willing.

To experience how these energies are tools for sensing and channeling Life Force energy, you can do the guided energy awareness practice from our August call here.

Reiki assists us in detaching from current perspectives through the energies of Appreciation (Abraham-Hicks explains the difference between gratitude and appreciation here) and Humility (that state of being that feels connected to all that is in a divine fabric of unconditioned love). When we detach from our current perspective with the energy of Humble Appreciation we allow energy to transform in a way that resonates with the divine order of the Universe.

During the Reiki for Life Certification Program we will be investing our time in cultivating living relationships with the energies of Appreciation and Humility and experience for ourselves just how powerful these energies are in our personal transformation into greater wellbeing.

Remember, as conscious healers who believe we are here to experience more joy in the knowing that there is nothing to fix, what we are healing is our own temporal belief systems. When we recognise our beliefs as temporary we are free to re-iterate the ones that bring us joy and transform the ones that are waiting to lead us into greater joy.

Isn’t it wonderful to know that in this exciting age of information, science and spirituality are coming together to affirm what we already know deep inside our hearts? Isn’t it refreshing to give our logical minds proof that it is indeed OK to surrender doubt and find comfort in the knowing that what we choose to believe is supported, always, by the Universe?

In fact, we are so supported that even when we choose to believe that we are not, even that is supported. This is a great deal of freedom right here.

I look forward to connecting with you on Thursday 17 September at 11am EST for our Being Reiki conference call.

Creative Energy

Hello Friends

I’ve BE.en feeling a wonder-full flow of “rising from the ashes” today.

I’m aware that collectively we have been witnessing our own synergetic flow of transformation in relation to that which we are experiencing together in response to our agreeing to being part of a collective shift…. a conscious presence in evolution.

Where before have we been so aware of our evolving nature?

When we were fresh to flesh… through our young, curious and ever un -doubting eyes…. when what we believed was unquestionably worthy of our undiluted trust and knowing… When we allowed our curiosity to guide us into uncharted territory… when this felt so safe and so free.

We doubted not our inner tug to discover. Learning was something we experienced akin to breathing. When not knowing was a delicious portal into knowing.

When allowing the return to the Unknown to be a sweet fragrance was akin to watching the sun make rainbowed windows through the lashes of squinting eyes.

When a moment encapsulated an entire lifetime of awe, when we touch the heart of our inner child through our willingness to See … we witness this moment in motion….

with just the want to not know “it” like we’ve seen it before….

This is where we know our evolving nature: in the space between our knowing that Knows, where our egoic self is recognized as record keeper and not expected to know what it is recording before it has been shown what to record.

This feels like an accelleration of Time.

The creative spark in You understands that when there is a pure positive stream of energy flowing unconditionally through your channel of perception it resonates with the energies in the band of Inspiration.

The creative spark in You understands that undiluted attention given to what Inspiration inspires creates a wake of precision akin to genius. And on the out breath of realizing our deliberate embodiment of this energy, in the earthing of our awareness deep into the heart of our every cell - lies in eternal invitation to experience the perfect wellbeing in every drop, in every ripple.

Right Here. Right Now.

You are the drop.

You are the ripple.

“I am the am beyond my thoughts. I am the creative spark, the will to say YES to joy. Anytime, Anywhere. I am.”

It’s more than ok to not know - it liberates the ego from the unnecessary responsibility to control perspective.

Let us BE the composer of a Life we Live to Sing.

In Lak’ech; I AM another Yourself

How does Unconditioned feel to you?

It’s a windy evening here in Cape Town (South Africa) and the moon is just incredible! There is a beeeeg ring around it in the clouds with a bright star at the edge of the ring Such a gift we gave ourselves when we chose to inhabit this physical existence

That was one of the things that came up during the Reiki share for some of us and I suspect a LOT of us - a calling to be more deeply aware of our bodies.

During our call we did an Energy Awareness Practice in which we became aware of our inner energetic body. We were able to sense and channel this Life Force energy simply with our Free Will, Intention, Attention and Allowing.

(listen to the call here: http://envisionjoy.com/2009/08/reiki-life-preview-calls/)

It became apparent to us during this practice that our bodies are portals through which we are able to make contact with Life Force energy and we realized that by connecting through the body in this way, it was easier for us to enter the heart space of deeper allowing, deeper connection and deeper trust, which in turn amplified our ability to feel wellbeing in the present moment.

I was excited about sharing an experience I had the previous evening, after our Reiki Share, which gave me a way to viscerally understand the concept of Unconditional Giving | Unconditional Receiving (if you remember, this was something that came up in the reading after our Reiki Share as something for us to focus on to bring us into alignment with who we really are).

(listen to the call here: http://envisionjoy.com/2009/08/reiki-life-preview-calls/)

Lets take a peek at each word (so as to draw a holographic agreement of terms) and see where it leads us.

At the beginning of our call I point out that Rei-Ki are two kanji (images) that conjoin to form a bigger picture, or Ideogram.

These images each have several layers of meaning: from the mundane (physical/literal) to the esoteric (non-physical/metaphorical).

This is how I’d like to look at the word Unconditional

On a mundane level, Unconditional means (and here I turn to the trusty dictionary)

“not limited by conditions; absolute”

With this in mind, lets see it’s esoteric meaning, and it is here that we turn inward, through the body, in order to experience our broader, non-physical perspective and wisdom.

Breath in deeply and allow yourself to focus on the rhythm of you breathing;

Relax - allow each breath to invite you deeper and deeper into relaxation; feel the tension leave your body….

now from a place of feeling present… intend for your awareness to inhabit your heart space - wherever you find your attention, follow it to your heart centre, focusing on your breathing….

imagine that you are floating in a gravity free environment….

notice how you physical body responds to your imagining…

continue focusing on your breathing….. allowing yourself to be exactly where you are in the stillness of your focus…. you cannot get it wrong….

you are freely floating in a gravity free environment….

in this space you are unconditioned….

notice how your emotional body responds…. focus on your breathing….

How does it feel to be unconditioned?

What are you able to do? Watch and SEE what your imagination is showing you…

notice how it feels to watch yourself occupying this space, as if you were reading an absorbing book…

you are unconditioned

ask yourself how it feels… listen… see…. watch….

This is your personal esoteric meaning to the concept of Unconditional. Allow this word to trigger this state of being. Use your Intention.

If I had to write a formula for Intention it would look like this:

I = UD over D squared FW

Intention is Unconditional Desire over Detachment amplified by a Free Will.

There is freedom in detachment. There is a freedom in being unconditioned. There is freedom in intention.

There is freedom in the balancing of these energies. The balance, is weightless.

A “pure” desire, as Abraham reminds us when they speak to us of the power of a pure thought ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBmuc8_GySQ&feature=PlayList&p=880794B9823B4227&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=19) is an uncontradicted one.

A pure desire feels like, “I want it, I got it, it’s coming, I know it!”

This is the energy of Unconditional Desire: it is a desire held for the Joy of it. It is held in the glory of its apex, it’s zenith - the grand finale - because it feels good.

We are unattached to it: there is no fear of it stopping or it not being enough or right… we enJoy our present moment, it is our greatest gift to our Self

How are you enjoying inhabiting your body?

In our next call we will be exploring our bodies more deeply as channels for Life Force energy.

Notice how your body is responding to your consciousness (awareness of being aware) and how your perception of physical energy corresponds to your Intention.

Intend for yourself to inhabit your inner energetic body and respond to it from your heartspace: say Yes Your will is free and your Inner Being honours this - intuition is unattached to weather or not you say yes

Following your breath is an amazing and ever constant invitation to enter the body - happy breathing!

Our next call is this Thursday at 11am EST.

Reiki for Life Conference Calls

Getting off the Skateboard

One of the things that has been coming up for me lately, and I know I’m not alone in this, is the very strong calling to inhabit the Present Moment more and more and more…..

This has always been my ‘foundation’ so to speak but in the last couple of weeks I have had some pretty amazing encounters and experiences that have taught me the very real benefits of choosing deeper presence.

Sometimes I get carried away with my Mind’s incessant demands to figure things out and ensure everything is in perfect order “right now”. It doesn’t feel so good but there I am, as if on a skateboard tied to a speeding car!

The good thing is that I am finding myself noticing when I get on the skateboard before the car starts revving it’s engine and I’m relieved in the choosing to step off and say, ‘no thanks, not today’

So what is different now? What in me has shifted to allow me to recognize myself getting onto the proverbial skateboard? In the past it would’ve been a jolting speed wobble or a bug in my eye that would have me stop and realize what I was doing: trying to control synchronicity.

When I entertain these questions I realise that what is present now is a deeper Trust in the Now moment, in the adage that says All *is* Well and as it should be.

Trusting more is leading me to release the need to control and I’m really pleased with how things unfold with grace when I do.

One of the other things I would do while on my skateboard weaving through oncoming traffic, is try to convince myself that this was FUN! See? Isn’t this just so much fun?! No? What’s wrong with you? Where is your sense of adventuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure? /while narrowly missing the bus.

When I tried to get off the skateboard I was scared. Wouldn’t I demolish my knees? Wouldn’t I be putting myself in grave danger of being run over? Wouldn’t I lose my sense of adventure only to find out how sloooooooow it would be to walk instead of holding on? Surely I would regret it?

I think the thing that has made the most difference is my WILLINGNESS to embrace the moment. I find that is has led me to breathe more, think less, feel deeper and appreciate that much more authentically.

And to the great astonishment of the driver of the car - my ego - I do not have to tell myself to do these things! It is in my doing them that I realise what I am doing - and how easy and effortless it is! Willingness and Trust allow me to recognise when I’ve got my foot on the skateboard. They also allow me to recognise my power to choose - indeed my will *is* free! But most deliciously of all, they allow me to celebrate each and every time I recognise when I am about to go speeding off on a rather uncomfortable ride!

Another thing I have noticed is that when I do choose to get on the skateboard now, the driver is actually HAPPY to take the scenic, gentle route! I still get to have my kicks and enjoy the ride and it’s so much more joyous when I know I can say, “ok, thank you, I’ve had enough for now - check ya lata!” and get off feeling empowered! I have a whole new perspective on the “joy ride” of consciously creating!

It is my vision for each of us to recognise our true power as conscious creators as we balance our interaction between heart and mind and find our joyous rhythm.

In Joy

Shireen

PS I would love to hear your comments and feedback regarding being present - it’s always a blessing to share this space with those who resonate.

Being in the Heart-Space

If you are anything like me, and I am taking an educated guess at saying we are very much alike in many ways, our path of healing is on the edge between the Headspace of thinking and sorting and deciding and the Heartspace of loving, being and allowing.

Our personal work is the bringing together of Heaven and Earth, so to speak, through our conscious presence.

It is our work to occupy each of these planes with equal acceptance, know that our focus is determining where our energy is flowing.

It is our work to remember that there are no wrong feelings - and no right feelings either. Only feelings we want and feelings we do not want. The key here is to look upon all the may feelings we experience as pleasing and not pleasing to us through the same eyes of acceptance.

It is only when we allow each of them the right to be (and in so doing release attachment to them) that balance is achieved.

It is our work to remember that we can take anything into the Heartspace, all is welcome here.

It is our work to look upon our disconcerting emotions and realize that they are serving us in some way. It is only when we identify with what we are feeling, that is to say when we make them ours and base our self-identity upon them, that we solidify them and grant them power to determine our choices.

Feel around the difference between, “I am angry” and “There is anger within me” and “I can sense anger.”

Can you feel the opening the last one creates? It invites us to see anger for what it is: a vibration, and nothing more. It is as it is.

It is when we make it ours that we place the burden of being something we are not upon ourselves. When we see it for what it is we can choose to receive what it is offering us from a more empowered place.

Our feelings are merely indicators of our alignment to what we are wanting. Indeed, when we accept this and choose to observe rather than react, we open the doorway of possibility and now we can feel the power of our choice.

There is never an ultimate solution outside of us. It is always within us. And it is rarely a cause and effect, “if this, then”, type of solution. It is indeed a state of BEing that invites us to linger just a little longer in the Heartspace - where we FEEL that All is Well.

It is.

I am encouraging you to observe your feelings without judgement. All are beneficial. All are pointing you in the direction of what is most pleasing to you. All are offering you the choice to see clearly where you want to be.

Remember, nothing is ever done to us. Only for us. We do not have to dig up reasons why we think we have to change our vibration. We do not have to make a list of things we must change within our beliefs. These things come to us naturally when we are living in the moment of what we are wanting.

In other words, as we bask in the energies that we are experiencing, knowing that they are all assisting us in lining up with what we want, what no longer serves us will be made known. We do not have to know what is no longer serving us in order to live from a place of alignment.

And when they come, when we realise what we are needing to let go of, rejoice!

Be lighthearted in the unfolding of your ever expanding awareness. As we become more and more aware of our limiting beliefs, we are becoming more and more ready for change.

The healing occurs in the moment of realization. We stunt the healing when we berate ourselves after being aware. We resist feeling good when we believe there is a price to pay for being who we really are.

Yes, as we awaken to our divine nature we will see more and more clearly where we have taken on beliefs that defy this truth - celebrate! The more times in a day that we catch ourselves playing a role that is not who we really are the more evidence we are giving ourselves that we are awakening.

This is what we are never going to get done, and what we cannot ever get wrong. You see, the players and circumstances may vary but the same message will underline our experience until we ‘get it’ so to speak.

There is never a need to feel as though we are taking two steps forward then three steps back.

Contrast is here to let us know how close we are to personifying our divine and inherent nature - we are beings of wellness, we are wellbeing.

And All Is Well.
