Learning to receive








It is as much a Gift to Receive
As it is to Give...

If we resist receiving gifts from others,
we are denying them their chance to give...
Their chance to shine...

Be gracious in accepting what comes to you,

Show gratitude for that received & be grateful  
that you were able to offer this Ying to their Yang...

Inspiration, insight and finding your authentic self

title_flourish_with_leaves.jpg 291×303 pixels






So how come with all this fabulous knowledge of wealth, entrepreneurship and bettering oneself have I not 'got it' yet?!  Why am I not a millionaire, high flying business woman?  

This is my point!  I have drifted from one change your life book to the next for half my life, each bringing its own gifts and nuggets of insight.  But have I systematically applied them? No. Have I learned the principles? No. Have I sabotaged my chances when they arose? Frequently. And so the story goes...  I know it is not unfamiliar, and that I am not alone in this now.  I know I suffered noteworthy lack of self worth, that I have hidden myself and my talents away from the world for 20 years, feeling small and insignificant for poor reasons...

I have been liberated from a life of self imposed shame, of living in the shadows of life and have stepped, no leapt, into my radiant authentic self - I thank and acknowledge Katherine Woodward Thomas & Claire Zammit of Feminine Power for this [see post below] - they provide the most comprehensive, personal resource experience over 7 weeks that will change your life, for good.  From the bottom of my heart I Believe this, and on the back of my transformation I am writing the next chapter of my life myself!! Up-front, not the biography!!

Flourish - stronger than it sounds!

swirls-fin-black.jpg 500×360 pixels

I have always been 'growth' orientated,... bar the fact that I am 5ft zero!  Growth as in personal development, in myself and in others.  But the term 'flourish' was brought to my attention recently and I dismissed it as girly, flowery, and soft...  How wrong was I?  Being pedantic as I am, I looked it up in the dictionary, and to all intents and purposes that is one iceberg of a word!

To Flourish:
  • To prosper
  • To be successful
  • To do or fare well
  • To be in one's prime
  • To thrive
  • To grow well, luxuriantly
  • To be in a period of highest productivity, excellence, influence...
I believe we could all use some flourishing in our lives, relationships and passions!

How are you going to flourish today?

Feminine Power Telecourse for Awakening Women




Now, where are all the female luminaries in my list of inspiring books / authors below?!!!  Bar Louise Hay, who has saved my troubled self a few times and led the way gently through the dark; truth be told, until I got the link this year to Katherine Woodward Thomas and Claire Zammit's awe inspiring Feminine Power audio I did not even know there was such a thing as female co-creating, spiritual liberators!  I did not seek them out from my false masculine perception that they would be too soft compared to the more masculine 'go get' inspirations I had been subscribing to!

Inspiration






books - Google Images

Or are they???   Reading the likes of these isn't going to lead the way to an enlightend life any time soon, is it?!  Seriously, what are you nourising your spirit with?  What mind food do you consume - with all the doom and gloom and negativity that abounds in the media supressing the enlightened soul?  
We need to counteract such attacks on our evolutionary well-being and stand strong in our conviction that a better way of life can be lived - we all have an active role to play - and as Amanda has highlighed so well below - it is all too easy to get sucked into perpetual misery and the 'my life sucks' mode of thinking...  STOP!!  Take a stance on how much negativity enters your life and start showing up in the light of well being and take action towards the life you want to live!

Here are some books that have inspired me on my spiritual path over the years, in the order they came to me:

* The Trick to Money Is Having Some - Stuart Wilde - Laugh out loud, free yourself from financial struggle...

* Think & Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill - the core principles of wealth, standing the test of time!

* Millionaire Upgrade - Richard Parkes Cordock - brilliant unfolding of entrepreneurial knowledge, written as a story - it's not so difficult if I BELIEVE in a better way of the world...

* The Richest Man in Babylon - George S Glason - should be essential reading on the ways of money management - wonderful tales spinning only the common sense truths!

* & I confess... anything by Anthony Robbins, but I perfer his audio because he is such an inspiring person and dynamic speaker.


Share in the Comments below - some of the actions you intend to take to counteract the mass negativity in the world - we stand by you and with you as you journey - come on over to the ZenChakra Forum and join the conversations, find support and just 'be' in the ZenChakra state of mind!

Across the Ages...

 published by Exley Publications [UK] 1997
published by Exley Gifts [US] 1997

I will be Still & Steady
 
''If, like a Cherokee warrior, I can look at the new year as an opportunity to stand on new ground, then strength and courage are on my side.  I will remember that things do work out, bodies do heal, relationships mend - not because I said it, but because I BELIEVE it''.  [Joyce Sequichie Hifler]

Every day is the start of a new year if we want it to be, a chance to reflect, to make sure we take a stand for all that is right and good, and that the best of our Self shows up each day...  Believe in yourself, believe in the flourishing of the future.

''But it is time to make things right, to stay on the path.  As water runs fresh and free from the woodland spring, so new life and meaning will bubble up from my own inner source.  I will be still and steady, because there is nothing to be gained by showing fear in a chaotic world''. [Joyce Sequichie Hifler]

& the nugget of wisdom here - trust your inner knowing, pausing to gather thought before reacting...  If we don't we are contributing to the chaos - how do you want to show up in life, how do you want life to respond to you?

Let your Love and Light Radiate - it makes the world a brighter place!

Garden of the Gods



Ever feel like you aren’t yourself? Or feel like each day is a repeating, familiar struggle that refuses to change for the better? In order to create change in our lives it is necessary for us to let go and allow. Sounds easy, right? Unfortunately for us, our default button always resets to lack and struggle. We are terrific masters at suffering. Think about it. When sitting at dinner with friends do you go on and on about how much money you are making, how easy the bills are to pay and that the government has finally gotten right? Of course not. We like to complain and be miserable by nature. Get yourself into any group and it is easy to fall into the abyss. Instead of falling into the familiar struggle, tonight or in the morning call on your angels and affirm:


 "Wake me up to see who I really am, and free me of my limited perceptions that I have taken on.” ~ Carol Tuttle


Be prepared to be blown away and SEE who you really are. You will honestly take your own breath away! All it takes is a simple request. Believe, love and trust in yourself. You are a child of God and your life’s purpose matters. And I guarantee you that your purpose by God’s definition doesn’t include struggle, but rather unconditional and eternal love.


Love and Light
Amanda

A love note to yourself



Sometimes I get really frustrated with God. How is it that I can work so hard at something, KNOW what it is I need to do, FEEL like I am doing it.......PRAY, and PRAY and PRAY on it......and retrieve nothing in return?

Then I hear Garth Brooks in my head..”sometimes God’s greatest gifts, are unanswered prayers.” As I struggle to keep my head above water in a most challenging and difficult economy, I find myself asking questions like “is this what God/Spirit wants for me?” Some days I am elated for the simple things that bring me joy. Then I get another bill, or another debt collector, or another one of life's challenges on my doorstep, and I think "God cant possible want this for me!” And off I go into my broken record, starting the pattern of hopelessness again!

How many of you can relate to this story? Despite these many challenges, I see the divine all around me. And if you look, you will too. A dear friend reminded me to ALLOW God’s greatest good into my life. Frustration and constriction never gets you anywhere she screeched! And she is right, Angels are all around us, open yourself up to it, trust and believe. More importantly, PAY ATTENTION. Remember my dear friends, angels come in many forms.......mine came in the form of an HVAC repair man this morning that had to remind me that a smooth sea never makes a skillful sailor. 

Love and light

The counter clockwise manifestation game

In an effort to manifest the material things I desired, in 2007 I built the most beautiful vision board. Chalked full of fancy house interiors, a booming business model, a diamond ring bigger than my head, and to complete the image, a new Maserati. I mean, if we are going to dream big we want to shoot for the stars right?
Law of Attraction Vision Board

SO with high vibration, a stroke of good luck and a little will power I presume that all my wishes will come true, right? OK, not right away. Apparently a week is not enough time. Maybe this takes a couple of weeks.....or maybe a few months?..............then I realized I was now in 2008 and I still didn't have a red Maserati in the driveway. Shoot. Did I want red? Maybe I asked for blue, and now I have diluted everything by thinking it was red. Dammit. Do I have to start over? OK, blue it is. I will focus on blue, a booming business and a fancy house. I don't really need the diamonds.

Now it is the fall of 2008, still no car, I have lost interest in the house, and I cannot fit anything into the Maserati, and to be honest I hate blue! But the booming business I will take!.......BOOM! Economy crashes, housing market plummets and the retail market logs a record breaking fall since the 80's. But that is OK. my vibration is high, I don't need a house, or a car and a booming business is easy........

In walks one difficult client after another. Absolutely no sales, profits below 15%, cutting staff and the cherry on top...overhead out the wazoo! Screw the vision board, I need an effing miracle and a baby Jesus!

The plummet in the economy took a brash affect on me internally. I held on to my beliefs that I could rise above it, but I still had the internal anarchy to battle of self conflict. A constant yes-no-yes-no mentality of, "I can do this....holy crap how am I going to do this?!!"

My answer? Meditation. And this took awhile to get it right. Full of anxiety, frustration and anger I continually went into my space with all the wrong emotions. And the worst thing? I fell into desperation and begging. Not exactly the emotional state you should be in, when the space is meant for manifestation of all things good.



I now feel like I have a handle on my meditation practices, and chakra healing work. But it took me an entire year just to get to the place where I could center myself long enough to focus on more than just what is. Even though I kept TRYING to focus on future possibilities I kept getting hung up on the everyday "what is" of my life. Three years to be exact. Three years at the bottom of the well climbing upwards, but getting caught on the daily hang-ups of life, throwing me back to the bottom of the well.

The goal of meditation and energy work is to get you to a place of absolute belief that everything that is being thrown at you, on your way out of the well, is merely static. No you shouldn't ignore it, but simply acknowledge it and continue climbing. My mistake was that every time that static would hit me, I would let go of the rope and fall.....and I would have to start all over again.

The point is, hang on. Believe, trust, and know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. ( a beautiful light that includes a maserati!) And the closer you get to it, the more static (obstacles) you will face. It is the universes way of testing you. Little things to see if you are ready. Letting go of that rope is proof that I wasn't ready, because I did not believe. In order to manifest you have to believe in yourself, trust that it is coming and know that you deserve it. Otherwise, you are just getting caught up in the counter clockwise manifestion game, and having a go at a good game of tug-of-war, that you'll never win!

The Power of knowing

When I met Jori in the late nineties, it changed my life. Not only did she tell me I was one of her girls in a brothel over 150 years ago, she also introduced me to the likes of Brian Weiss, and Micheal Newton, experts in past life regression and souls.

I'll never forget the day. I had just been fired.....(for the 20th time) and Jori had just gotten a brand new job that required her to be gone over night. Since I had nothing better to do, I agreed to stay at her house and watch Tess, her old  pound mutt, that she adored.

Jori had no TV, and Tess being 13 years old, wasn't much for entertainment. To this day I swear Jori had underlying intentions, but she'll never admit to it! On her end table in the living room was a stack of books......all about reincarnation, life between lives, soul journey and our purpose on this earth.



The first one that I read was Journey of Souls, by Michael Newton.  I ended up reading the book all night and finishing it the next day. It was extraordinary. Dr Newton takes us on a journey about what it feels like when we die, why we are here, karma, Spirit guides, ghosts, soul life, choosing our bodies, and determining the lessons we will learn.

We are living in a reality with many dimensions, and as a soul, earth is one of the most difficult dimensions and also the furthest from our divine connection. I cannot remember if it was Weiss or Newton, but one of the books compared earth to high school....which really put things in perspective for me.

We are here only for a moment of our eternal lives. We are here to learn and grow as a soul, and learn lessons that advance our souls evolution. There are young souls, intermediate souls, and advanced souls, that radiate colors from light to dark. The more advanced souls radiate a beautiful violet color. 

Most souls reincarnate for thousands of years. And each life is specifically chosen down to the parents we will have, our spouses, and the lessons learned. If there are karmic lessons those will be chosen as well. Say for example you were a women who felt you could not do things on your own and always relied on someone else to take care of you. Your next life may be of one alone, so you learn to trust in yourself and your abilities.

Ever wonder why you do certain things, or fear strange things like heights? Those are residual energies left on you from past lives. My girlfriend is a perfect example of this. She fears fire, and has never had a desire to have any children. When under hypnosis she discovered that 400 years ago she had five children that she lost in a town fire.

Many people have the belief that we are here but only once. That when we die, we are dead. I never believed that life wasn't eternal. I could not explain this knowing, but I always believed that there was something more. I believe that is the reason religion has been consistent in all cultures for thousands of years, because at our cores we are all knowing, and it is a guide book to our soul resources and purpose. Many of the scriptures are a window into our divine source and it is there to remind us that we are eternal. 

While here, our memories are erased for a reason. We have lessons to learn, and free will to choose. We may choose the wrong thing five times, but the good news is there are always do overs! We meet up with soul mates who are from our soul groups, and together we help each other learn lessons and grow. 

Because of my soul mate Jori, I was guided to knowledge that opened me up to the spirit world. It helped me understand more about who I am, and that each obstacle I encounter is one of greater importance. I am not money, I am not my fear or guilt, I am not even this body. Simply put, I am......and that my friends, is the POWER in knowing!

Stepping Out of The Shadows...




Our Deepest Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are we not to be?  You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened
about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine as children do. 
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. 
And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.


from A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson.         Now, that's a book I want to read!!
