Receiving Messages and the New Year 2019

I had an eye-opening experience last month with my Honda SUV.  For fourteen years, this awesome car has always taken me where I want to go! With 191,000 miles on it, it started leaking oil; my car mechanic said it needs a new engine. Whew!  Time to buy a new car.

I considered getting a used Honda, but, to stay in my budget, I’d need to get one with some 50,000 miles.  I’d prefer a car with less miles and didn’t quite know what to do.

I started noticing a few timeswithin a two-day time span, the Chevy emblem and Chevy cars.  It dawned on me that I’m receiving a message through synchronicity.  I asked God to give me a clear sign indicating if I ought to consider a Chevy.   Sure enough, in the yoga class I went to that day, our yoga instructor shared, as part of his inspirational words, “Why not consider alternatives?  Think of other options available to you!”

Wow, that’s a clear message! I thanked God for answering my prayer for guidance!  

I remembered there’s a car dealership five minutes from where I live but didn’t remember what car manufacturer they are.  I drove buy it, and it turns out to be Chevy dealership!.  In speaking with them, they told me about the Chevy Trax SUV.  It turns out I bought a 2018 Chevy Trax with only 11,000 miles that was within my price range. 

I’m grateful to be aware of synchronicities in my life and to receive guidance.  By being more aware –  living a more conscious and mindful life –  we’re better able to live more authentically, be more true to ourselves, follow our inner guidance and live with more joy and peace.

Would you like to cultivate this type of living for yourself in this new year ahead?  What will 2019 bring to you when you increase your awareness to life’s messages, and follow its guidance?    

Messages and guidance come to us in many ways:  through music lyrics; a friend’s words they happen to share; seeing emblems, logos or numbers; seeing a sequence of numbers frequently; getting a feeling or nudge from inside; “hearing” words of wisdom pop into your head; reading a billboard; and so on.

My invitation to you for this new year ahead is to be open to receiving – and listening – to your guidance and messages.  Take note of what comes your way.  Intentionally create a new year that brings more joy and peace, love and abundance, by being open to this guidance!  This is my wish for you this new year, and for always!. See below for two tips on this.

Happy New Year! Many blessings to you always……and in all ways!

Empowering Tips and Tools – How to be open to receiving your guidance and messages:

1. Be aware of what’s going on! This sounds obvious, but really, most people are so busy they don’t pay attention.  So, increase your awareness, and be with an open and relaxed mind about it.
2. The natural tendency of life/universe/God is to give answers to questions.  So, ask questions and in a relaxed manner, be on the lookout for answers.  Trust and be open to receive.
3. Live in the present moment and also being more mindful will help you be more aware.

Is it really true that it’s almost Thanksgiving?!  I feel I’m still in September.   Whew!…..Time continues to go fast.

This reminds me of how I like to remember to live in the present moment;  time goes fast; it is what is is, and out of my control, so why not live in the now moment?   Through this, you may find yourself having more moments of gratitude because you’re focusing on the present moment.

For instance, what if you were grateful for being able to get out of bed, being mindful of the now moment of rising up for a NEW day?  Or, while eating, being grateful for the taste of it, having money to buy the food, and how easily accessible it is?

Having an “attitude of gratitude” helps you be more positive too!  You tend to see things as more being the glass half full instead of half empty.

With Thanksgiving around the corner, certainly this is the time of year we are more aware of gratitude.  But why not take on the practice of having an attitude of gratitude all through the year, several times a day!?  I’ve been doing this practice for several years, and now pretty much several times a day, finding so many things to be grateful fore.  It helps me recognize the abundance I have in all areas of my life.

Write a comment below on what people, situations and things in your life that you are grateful for.  It would be awesome to hear from you!

Surrendering is a powerful life practice!  It allows you to create inner peace, go more with the flow of life, and deepen a sense of trust and faith.  As Maryann Williamson, in her book A Return to Love,  puts it so well:  “Surrender means the decision to stop fighting the world, and to start loving it instead.  It is a gentle liberation from pain.”

I recently went through a very unexpected shock about something in my life.  I was so upset for awhile, and remembered the importance of allowing myself to feel my pain and upset, then – letting it take its course – letting go of it and then surrendering.   For me, I remembered that God/Universe/Spirit is always with me, and all of us, and that God knows best for me.  I only see from a tiny vantage point; God “sees” from the FULL vantage point.   In the end, it turns out my upset became a huge gift for me.  I’m grateful for having this experience!

We don’t always know what’s going to happen – how can we?  Life is full of surprises, and if we can relax with what is, surrender into the trust that all IS INDEED for our good, then we can relax more.  This doesn’t mean we won’t have upsets in life; sure we will.  Life is full of ups and downs, but as I recently experienced, once I allowed myself to process through that upset (the emotions, the pain, the ego), then releasing this, and surrendering to God – ah, it allowed a more completion of the full experience of my situation. And also, realizing there IS a gift in everything.

Below, there are two tips on how to surrender.

Empowering Tips and Tools – Surrendering

1. Recognize that you’re not the one in control of everything.  There are some / many things out of our control.  Relaxing with what is / accepting what is, helps you to surrender. (It takes practice to do this, but it does work!)

2. Write in a journal all your feelings about the situation you want to surrender. Include what is the worst that can happen, and just allow that ego/fear to express.  Once you’re done with this, take a brisk walk to “walk off”  the energy of your upset.

Have you noticed when you resist something that you don’t like, that you get more upset, nervous or stressed?  Perhaps it’s the heavy rush hour traffic, and as you get upset about it, well!…..the traffic is still there!  And you’re still upset!

I learned many years ago that resisting what is does not gave me peace, and am well aware that I prefer peace over the upset I get when resisting.  Over the years, bit by bit, I’membodying more of this knowing by allowing myself to feel the upset for just a short time, then consciously releasing it.  Sometimes, it takes me breathing in deeply to help me to let go of resisting, and just accept what is.  As a result, I’m calmer and at peace when I’m in a situation I don’t like; I’m more quickly able to be accept what is the more I practice this attitude!

Let’s take this topic of peace versus upset a little deeper:  What you may have discovered is that as you surrender more to what is, you experience more of the “go with the flow of life” modality.   Surrendering doesn’t mean you’re passive; it means you’re more trusting and that you have faith; faith and trust that what’s happening is as it should be. I’ve come to believe that God/The Creator/Source knows what’s best for me, and when I get out of my way (surrender) that things come to me with more grace and ease. (I realize it’s not always easy to surrender and trust though!  It takes practice and a trusting/releasing attitude).

So, next time you find yourself upset over something in which you don’t have any control over, ask yourself if you’d rather be at peace or be more upset.  See below for two tips that will help you with this.

Here’s to your confidence, joy and peace!

Empowering Tips and Tools to help create more inner peace:

1. Take a deep breath in and out, and ask yourself: Can I change this situation? If not, then allow yourself a few moments of upset then, as you release your breath, intentionally release your upset. Imagine it leaving your body.

2. Talk to yourself about the benefits of being at peace and of accepting what is by looking at whatever benefits you ARE getting from the situation you’re resisting.  For example, you may say:  “Here I am, at work and I’m miserable. But I sure appreciate being able to pay my bills!  Um…maybe I’ll take positive action to find another job where I’m happier”.

There is a “river of life” that explains the cause of each person’s experience.  Although unseen, this river of life, the undercurrent, the ever-present Creator – to use an analogy-  is always pulling gently for you to go in a certain direction, to allow the goal of fulfilling  your life’s purpose.  It is as if The Creator, the higher consciousness, is in charge – and It is –  since there is a unity, a oneness, in all life.  A “part” of this oneness experiences certain life occurrences, while another part of this oneness experiences something else.

Imagine there are rocks in a river.  Water runs into and then goes around these.  It’s the same with human consciousness, you.  You experience your life’s’ occurrences as the water in the river, running into, and then going around, experiences, challenges and opportunities, and making your way down the river; you’re carried by the ever present undercurrent (The Creator, higher consciousness), all the while also experiencing the rocks of your life.

When you go down the river in a relaxed manner, you can then move around the rocks (life’s experiences, challenges and opportunities) easier than if you’re resisting them.  Imagine being in a boat and riding on this river, going along with the current but trying to avoid the rocks.  You can do this, yes, but it requires more paddling, and therefore more energy.  Letting go of the oars can yield a smoother ride if you trust your boat will gently glide over those rocks that are under water.  If there are rocks that stick up above the river’s stream, it’s best to steer clear of it.  The same is true in life:  it’s better when you can steer clear of obstacles (rocks above the water) that don’t serve you; and it’s important that you’re aware of any obstacles that may exist in your life.  You can use the “oar of trust” to steer you back to the right direction, which is your designated path of life, your life’s journey.  In this way you can begin again with your travels on the river of life.
For instance, this drug has the potential of this tool so as the end consumer s. cheapest viagra price cialis wholesale The results of a clinical trial that tested the efficacy of psychotherapies.

In the same way as the planets align with their own orbits naturally, you too can align with your own path and life purpose, and be ever mindful of what your path and life purpose is.  You can establish a routine of dedication to your path, in which you glide through your life with the faith of a mustard seed, ever holding onto this faith with a persistence and consistency that will keep you on the path you’re meant to follow.  Following your heart is the way to keep on your path.

THE CYCLES OF LIFE

This morning I woke up all full of energy and anzty to get going.   Realizing that I want to dive into the high positive energy of spring and summer as much as possible, with more hiking, outdoor concerts and BBQ’s.  I started thinking of ways I can make the most of this time of year.  It’s so refreshing to switch from the more quiet, cold, and almost hibernating winter time, into this more active season!

Of course, winter time and its gifts of creating a space for inner contemplation, quiet and regeneration is important.  And through this, we then cycle again into a new season, inviting us to come out into a different, more active level of living.

This reminds me of how – just as there are cycles of different seasons throughout the year – we ourselves experience cycles in our own lives.  All of us experience ups, when everything seems to be going just right.  And we also experience down times, with difficulties and challenges; sometimes we wonder if we’ll ever see happy times again.  And….. we do once again have happy times come our way again.  Ah, the ebb and flow of life.

Hopefully you realize that through the difficult, dark times of your life, if you’re aware and you’re willing to see the gift in it, the difficulties will yield greater personal growth and increased wisdom.  (No wonder older people are considered wise – because they ARE!  They’ve endured manyups and downs).

Remember that all cycles of life – as is all of the yearly seasons – are temporary.  Enjoy life as best as you can in those more challenging times, and remember this too shall pass.

Here are two tips for embracing life’s cycles:

• Remind yourself that whatever you’re experiencing is NOT permanent.  Write down a reminder note of this and put         it in a prominent place.
• Talk to a trusted friend who can support you through difficult times.  Perhaps seek professional help.  Again, remember this is only temporary.   Be loving and kind to yourself.
