Creating Effortless Abundance for Yourself

I'm thinking of offering a short workshop on this topic.

The workshop will be short because the creation of effortless abundance is very simple.

The world in which we live is comprised entirely of energy. Everything is energetic flow that manifests for us as apples, cars, people, buildings, money, a new table... bed linens, brocolli and on and on.

That energy is essentially love. It is the primal force of all being. It is unconditional love energy that is divine in origin and in nature. It is divine energy, divine love, divine grace.

The more of this unconditional love that you can flow through you and into the world, the more effortless abundance you will experience in your life.

That's really all there is to it.

The abundance will take on so many different shapes that you won't always recognize right away, "Oh, this is more of that delightful abundance!" It will be smiles, laughter, sunsets, flowers, money in the bank, money in your pocket, great music, fun movies to watch, engaging dialogue, a wonderful new friend, work that feels meaningful and so on and so on until you can no longer even begin to imagine what 'lack' might feel like or be like.

"Lack? What is that? How is that even possible?" This is what you will be thinking and feeling inside of you and it may or may not come up into your conscious mind.

If I do give a workshop on this topic, I will endeavour to bring the experience of unconditional love very clearly into the workshop participants, so that they can recognize it when it is glowing within them and also notice when it is not. I will also speak of all of the different ways in which we block this energy, this flow of divine love within us and what we can do when these blockages occur.

I'm happy about doing this because it means sharing this vibrant love with others and this is something that I love to do with all that I am.

Effortless abundance outside of you is the reflection of the effortless abundance of divine energy, unconditional love energy, within you.

It is so simple.

Another Way to Help the World Now

I invite you to take a deep breath before reading this, for it is not easy reading. It is imperative in me that I post this however. This is deep and big and rings my truth like a bell.

With this very violent group of people in Syria and Iraq, the world is watching with horror as atrocities are committed and experienced by the innocent.

Day after day, this is brought to my attention by my friend Lui, who cannot seem to look away. I believe that there are many people on this planet right now who are horrified, but cannot look away.

People don’t know what to think about the horrors. They are appalled. Some people want to destroy this group which is so violent. Some just wish that they were not doing as they are doing.

I know that this is all happening for a reason. Everything serves the awakening of humanity. Everything serves our highest good. But I couldn’t understand it. I couldn’t understand why it is happening in this way.

Yesterday, bored at my computer during the work day, I found a film on Netflix to watch, just to pass the time. It is called ‘Waiting for Armageddon’ and it is a documentary film about Evangelical Christians who are absolutely convinced and totally believe that the prophecies of the Book of Revelations are coming to be on the Earth. They believe that all the ‘true believers’ will be raised up to Heaven with Jesus, the Christ in a “rapture.” And after that, the unbelievers will mostly be killed in horrible ways, through acts of terrible violence and God’s wrath.

I only watched part of the film and then my work day was over and I had errands to run.

When I returned from my errands and had eaten supper and watered my garden, I came back inside and thought again about the beheadings and torture and other atrocities being committed by the group that people know as ISIS. I felt again the confusion and I wanted to understand. So, I asked for guidance from Yeshua. I said, “Yeshua, please guide me. Help me to understand the purpose of this group. Why are they doing what they are doing?”

The answer was immediate and incredibly clear. It is as if I were channeling Yeshua. Well, as I frequently do channel Yeshua, I guess I was. Here is what came through as the answer to my question:

“They are showing all of humanity its darkness. They are showing all of humanity those parts of itself at which it does not dare to look. To fully understand, change the pronoun. Change ‘they’ to ‘we’ and ‘he’ or ‘she’ to ‘I.’

And I have done this before, on a more personal level and felt the power of this exercise of changing the pronoun. So I did that. They are killing anyone who does not believe as they do. We are killing anyone who does not believe as we do. They are incredibly cruel and judgmental. We are incredibly cruel and judgmental. And I knew in that instant that it is so. And that their actions, showing us our darkness, are necessary at this time. And I was able instantly to feel unconditional love for them, as I feel unconditional love for all of humanity in all of our darkness.

A few moments later, I sat down at my computer and decided to watch the end of the documentary film about the Evangelical Christians. And as I was watching, one of the comments from a person interviewed was, “They believe that everyone who does not believe as they do will die, and they are glad about this…” or something very similar to that. I don’t have the words exactly, but that was the meaning of it. And I said, “Wow. Look at how I have shown myself so clearly the truth of what I realized, through Yeshua’s guidance and grace which I had requested.”

All time is now. It is all happening right now. So, the brutalities of the Crusades, when Jerusalem was knee deep in blood from those killed, according to accounts of people who were there, the incredible cruelties and injustices of the Inquisition, when people were burned alive in front of their own children because they did not live their lives as others thought that they should, and many other atrocities, too numerous to mention – all of these are being shown to us in the actions of the group called ISIS. And so what is our response? What can we do that will be the highest response, the most wise response, the most loving response?

We see ourselves in them. We take full ownership and responsibility for the darkness that is our legacy as human beings. We change the pronouns. ‘They’ becomes ‘we.’ We do this. We have done this. And as with all of our process through these times of Ascension, we accept that which we are, that which we have been. We accept all that we are. We – with courage – see ourselves in them. And we forgive ourselves for our darkness, our fear, our cruelty, our arrogance. We send unconditional love to those aspects of ourselves that behead children, rape girls in front of their mothers and do many other things that seem impossibly horrible. It isn’t easy. But it is our darkness. We face it and we accept it as part of what it is to be human. It is not ‘them’ – some demonic monsters out there whom we can condemn and do our best to destroy. It is we. It is us. And it cannot be destroyed. That is why it is still there, showing itself to us as it must do, especially now.

Finally, we send unconditional love, the divine love that is the Christ Consciousness come to Earth, the love that we are, that we have brought ourselves to be through years of work in awareness and ruthless honesty with ourselves.

And as we do this, we heal the terrible wounds that are represented by these actions, these actions undertaken by the group called ISIS. These wounds are in us. They are our darkness. As Yeshua conveyed to me, they are showing us our darkness. They are not separate from us. They are an aspect of us. So we bring ourselves to acceptance and unconditional love.

For me, this is the best, the highest, response to these happenings. I feel this in my heart.

How You Can Help the World Now

The news these days is pretty grim. It is easy to become discouraged, dismayed, even disheartened.

I encourage you to take heart. You make a difference. You matter.

Although it is not what our minds believe, your energetic being is helping to make the world what it is in every moment.

Therefore, the more balance, peace, gratitude, love for all and acceptance of all that you can bring to the world right now, the more the world will be filled with these beautiful energies.

It is now right now, when things seem bleak indeed, that your wisdom and love for all that is will make the difference. Join me, if you will, in shining these energies out into the world.

You might say, "Sorry, Lu, I don't know about this. I feel pretty crappy what with the violence in the Middle East, the Ebola crisis, violence in America's heartland with poor people battling on the streets with heavily armed police officers and so on and so on." Here is a method that will both help you to feel more able to cope with these energies carried to you with the grim news, and to shine more balance and love for all that is out into the world.

Sit somewhere with your feet flat on the floor or ground. Take a conscious breath or two to bring yourself fully into the moment - the here and now. Now, feel your wisest self, the part of you that is pure love. You might call it your soul-self, or your higher self. Feel it around you, as a kind of conscious aura, and feel it within you as well. Just tune to your highest, wisest, most loving and peaceful self.

Now, as you inhale, pull that loving and peaceful energy in through your heart center and feel it filling you. As you exhale, send that beautiful energy out to every cell in your body. Again inhale and pull that energy into your heart and exhale and send it radiating outward. As you do this a few times, you will feel much more balanced, peaceful and loving. As well, that energy - coming in from your divine soul self - radiates out into the collective consciousness and energetic mix that is our world. And every little bit makes a difference. Energy is like that. It permeates and changes the mix.

By the same process, any fear, anxiety, judgments about what is going on, or shame about any aspect of your being will cause you distress and those energies will go out into the mix and add to what is already there in that frequency of discord. When you feel fear, anxiety, shame or judgments, take a moment to feel what it is that you are experiencing. Accept it completely. It is part of your being and therefore it is allowed and acceptable. As you accept it, the energy will shift a bit because any resistance you were holding to it will slip away.

When you have completely accepted it, take a nice deep breath and then on the exhale, send unconditional love from your heart center to that fear, anxiety, judgment or whatever it is that you are experiencing. As you do this, you clear your energy so that you can bring through even more of that wisest, most peaceful and loving part of you to share with the world.

This is good work! This is not an easy time for us. Yet, this is the time that we have prepared ourselves for. All of our work to bring ourselves to peace within, to wisdom and to grace has brought us now to be enabled to help the world by shining our highest energies out to all of humanity.

I am thrilled to be able to help the world in this way. I hope you will join me in this energetic work. You can also hold a simple vision of how you would like the world to be - peaceful, perhaps, with justice for all peoples of all nations. I have an image of people of all faiths and all colours, shapes and sizes together in a circle with hands held and smiles of love and joy on their faces. Hold your vision. Never mind if it seems impossible. We are shining the divine light of God's love from our souls through our bodies and out into the world. Anything is possible!

Becoming a Master of the Game

We came here to play the game. This doesn't mean that we are not sincere, not well-intentioned. In fact, we came here to transform the game from the inside out.

And the game is changing rapidly. It used to be that we were immersed in a limited awareness and our goal was to love anyway.

As we approached the new era, which began on December 21, 2012, we asked of ourselves that we not only love anyway, but love all and love well and shine a light of love on all the world.

The game is transformed and we are now emerging from within it. We are becoming masters of the game.

How do we do this, exactly?

When we are no longer trying to get out of limitation, which is the game board, essentially, we profoundly change the game to the point that we achieve mastery.

The you that is playing the game is immersed in a state of limitation. You are limited as to what you know and can know and you are limited by your physicality and the laws of physics within which the game is being played. Yet the you that chose to play this game also had a hand in creating it. There are no victims here. And no losers of this game either.

The 'game self' wants freedom and wants to reduce or eliminate the limitations under which it labors and which it endures. The 'higher self' to use a short-hand expression for the magnificent being of light and love that you are as a soul, chose the limitations of this game and values them very much. We wouldn't have come here if we didn't want to experience this and add our light and our love, our courage and our radiance to this game board.

So there is a fundamental conflict of interest, shall we say, between the 'game self' and the 'higher self.' The 'higher self' holds infinite patience and compassion for the 'game self's' longing for freedom from limitations. The 'game self' once she completely accepts her limitations, completely accepts them as part of the game, and so aligns herself with the purpose and intentions of the soul or 'higher self'. And this profoundly changes the game. By accepting the limitations imposed upon her, completely accepting them, even appreciating them, as the marathon runner appreciates every kilometer traversed, she changes the game in her own experience and becomes a master of the game.

And this is also true for all of the experiences of the game. Acceptance of illness, of accident, of pain, of fear and of apparent loss... and on and on. If you have resistance to it, you are out of that frequency of mastery which is exemplified by true appreciation and gratitude for every experience of the game.

When you hold the frequency of acceptance, of appreciation, of gratitude for all that you experience, you have indeed stepped outside of the perception of limitation as victimization and you have then freed yourself and become a master of this game. It is in this way that we step out of the illusion of limitation and become that radiant light and love that our souls have always been.

When this occurs, we have changed the game from the inside out and our purpose here is complete.

Invoke

It's very simple, but it is the opposite of what we are used to experiencing, so give yourself time to get a feel for how this works.

You invoke that which you wish to experience. Let us make an example of the word pleasure. Lately, I am invoking pleasure and play into my experience.

As you say the word 'pleasure' just allow yourself to feel the frequency that is pleasure in your being. You don't have to localize it to a certain part of your body, or even to your physical body. Just allow yourself to feel the subtle energetic signature of 'pleasure.'

As you invoke the energetic vibration of pleasure, more and more, you will be able to feel much more clearly the way that it feels for you. Don't look for it outside of you. That's what we've been doing, and that is what is changing. Trust that it will be expressed for you in the world around you as you become more and more clearly able to feel the energy of pleasure within your being.

Any word carries its own energetic vibration. So you can do this with, for example, justice, wellness, health, vitality, joy, abundance, and on and on.

You are invoking the experience of this chosen vibration in your being - NOT in the world around you. As you are able to hold the vibration of what you have chosen in your energy field (aka energetic body, light body, being, beingness) you will begin to experience it in the world around you and will therefore have manifested it into your life.

Invoke it first within your internal experience. Enjoy it there! It is real. It is a feeling and a frequency that you can revel in and enjoy. Then thrill to its manifestation in the world that is always a mirror of your internal being.

Energetic Being

So, this is the way it is now, for me, and I suspect for you as well. We are creating our experiences through our energy. I refer to frequency, meaning, the particular vibration of my energy in the moment.

Whatever you are being energetically, you will create the expression of that being in the world around you so that you can see what you are being in the world around you. It sounds circular, and it is.

So the within the context of this creationary circle of being and becoming, an awareness of your energetic being is the important thing. Become aware of what your frequency state is. Is it anxiety? Is it resentment? Is it joy? Is it peace with what is? Adjust as you see fit to do so. The adjustment is a choice. You simply change your frequency state. You take a breath and adjust it. You 'tune to joy' as I say in my book 'The Frequency of Joy' which you can find at www.lulu.com

So this is new for us. We used to know beyond a shadow of a doubt - you may or may not remember this knowing - that things happened and we reacted and responded and so what was outside of us made us feel in certain ways and 'be' in certain states of being - scared, happy, assured, self-conscious and shy, etc. But it's actually the opposite of that. What we are within our energetic being, which is both within our physical body and surrounding it, is mirrored in our experience of the world. And this reflection is happening very fast now - instantaneously or almost instantaneously. You will notice it if you begin to pay attention to it.

Here's an example. I opened an investment account at a big Canadian bank and I thought, "Geez, this is going to be complicated and difficult and challenging." And my energy contracted, of course, and shifted into a certain amount of anxiety whenever I thought about that investment account. It became a problem. The account was blocked because of an error made when I filled out the required paperwork, but nobody informed me of this so the problem became compounded over weeks. Yah. Like, no kidding, right? Duh! So yesterday, I finally realized what I was creating here in this situation and shifted my energy and my belief about the experience of having an investment account at a big Canadian bank. Within hours, I had received a phone call from a very nice representative of the bank who solved all my problems and offered me a bonus and other perks for signing on. Ta-Da!

Try it for yourself. Just notice when you're holding energy about a situation that is not peace, not trust, not joy... and then shift it. And then watch what happens. It's actually pretty cool and fun to do this!

And this is the practice now. Call it practice or play or whatever you like. Work with any residual states of being that are not in the flow of joy. These might be states of grief, shame, guilt or disablity (as in my banking example - I thought I wasn't sophisticated enough to have an investment account...). Whatever comes up, simply send a beautiful flow of unconditional love from your heart to that energy within your energy field. That will clear it right up without any judgment, which would just add to your energetic burdens anyway and would be counter-productive.

If something comes up for you and brings an emotional experience that feels like it needs to be fully acknowledged, then go ahead and give it your full attention, your full regard. This attention and the 'gaze of unconditional love' as I call it, that level gaze of complete compassion and non-judgment, will probe it, lance it clean and allow you to delve with love into whatever the wound is. And then it too will be cleared. And these days it is very fast and easy to do this work because we are literally lightening up. We are becoming enlightened and so our ability to clear the wounds and the stresses that are residual from past traumas and hurts is enhanced. Just delve into your own energy field with love and light in your heart for your own self.

Our energetic being creates our emotional, mental and physical experience of being in the world. Our emotional, mental and physical experience does impact our energetic being to some extent still. Be aware of how you are responding to what IS around you. Shifting your energetic being will actually shift what IS around you. So, by being aware and awake about your energetic being, you adjust your own being AND the experience you have of the world. It's a win / win.

Wait there's more! As you do this, you change the world.

You bring more love into the world when you send unconditional love to your own self and to all that is.

So, as I sat on my exercise ball the other day, just before starting another set of reps with the five pound weights, I worked to bring myself into that radiant unconditional love frequency, that perfect peace and stillness within, which is a correspondence with the rhythm of this Universe and the love that is all that is. It didn't take me long to get there, but still I did need to focus on it for a moment. And that is the practice of working with your energetic being.

This has deep implications around the experience of abundance and joy in your life as well, so play with this and enjoy your eternal becoming Self.

You are the Master Story-Teller

Time is becoming a dance. It is an illusion that we have been living within, that time is linear and only moves in one direction, from back to front, so to speak.

I have visited and spoken with my younger self in many instances. As we do this sort of internal time travel, we have such an impact on our own being as a younger version of ourselves. We change the story.

I sat and spoke with my younger self as she went through a period of intense self-doubt. I was there, feeding her the information about her value, her place in the grand scheme of things, and her inherent wisdom which emerges at the perfect time. This energetic message was delivered to her and I could literally feel her receive it, for she is me and I am her. This changed her. This changed my story.

I went back to a time when I was feeling so alone, deeply grieving and profoundly in need of support. I changed that story. I gave myself the support and the companionship that I had found so lacking at the time, as a younger version of myself. I felt the shift as that younger self received the love and support and realized that she was not alone and that she could and would get through the dark times in which she found herself. Again, I felt her shift. I changed the story of my life. I went back in time and changed the story.

And you can do this. Simply see yourself as you were. Then bring your compassion, your wisdom to that version of yourself. Treat your younger self as you would a dear loved one who needed your support, for that is exactly the case.

I went forward in time. This is so exciting! I went forward in time and connected with a future version of myself. One way to begin this, to establish this connection, is to simply sit comfortably with your eyes closed and then ask your future self to send you love. Oh, you will feel it! Ask your future self to bathe you energetically in the wisdom and knowledge that is yours in that future self. You may even begin to bring through verbal messages from your future self.

The multitude of selves that we are, past and present and future and different pasts and different futures, all woven one into the other as a fifth dimensional creation of experiences ... these are our new playground. These multitude of stories are our stories. Each of them is laid over and on top of the truth of our being, which is unconditional love. Love incarnate. Love as the God I AM being this story.

Story and story-teller.

A Powerful Tool

Gratitude is one of the most powerful frequencies that you can experience.

When you experience gratitude, you are telling the Creator-Being-You-Are that you would like to experience more of .... whatever has inspired your gratitude.

Radiating gratitude brings you more to be grateful for. Radiate, and then step out of the way of yourself as Creator.

Surrender to the flow of moments. Allow yourself to be supported. Enjoy.

See what you will experience when you use gratitude as a frequency of creation.

Present Perfect Tense

Sometimes, it really is perfect.

I wrote a poem about that sudden realization of the perfection of all things. I experienced it last winter one day and wrote the poem. It broke me open and rained blessing upon blessing into me so that I was changed.

You can find the poem on my 'other' blog: www.hereandnowwithyou.blogspot.ca

Most of the time, however, I am not in that divinely inspired bliss of knowing the perfection of all things. It would be awesome if I was in that, but perhaps I would not be able to be in the world for very long if I sustained that sense of perfection because it is a kind of transcendent bliss.

There is a more quiet and easy to maintain sense of the perfection of all things, however. It is in the heart and the mind. It is a sort of a hum. Whenever the events and experiences of our days jerk us out of that peaceful sense that all is perfect as it is, we can remind ourselves that indeed, it is all perfect. And  ---- boom ----- a quiet boom, there we are. Back in that hum, we proceed.

I don't get vacations in my part time work. So, for 3 years and three months, I did not have a vacation, except for the occasional long weekend. Since I don't work full time, it didn't seem so bad, but at one point I really wanted a vacation! And of course, I created one for myself. I ended up with almost three full weeks of vacation and didn't even have to worry about being paid while I was not working.

I wanted to enjoy the free time that was suddenly available to me. So, I went out one day on a long scenic drive. It was Autumn and the sky was graced with clouds and sunlight. It was one of those dancing days, of sun sparkles and purple grey clouds against sky blue sky. But I was so intent on having it be perfect that it wasn't.

I went outside of my knowing that perfection of all things because I was wanting it to be perfect instead of knowing it as perfect.

I came home disappointed.

I have set out - in a rush - to run errands in the village and on the way there suddenly realized the infinite perfection of it all. It is not that we have to be 'on vacation,' or at our complete and total leisure that we suddenly see the beauty and perfection of our world, our lives, ourselves. It happens in the instant that we stop wanting it to be in any way different than it is right now.

You Are Supported

I was walking in the peaceful morning one day, not so long ago now, when I suddenly heard a voice within me say, "Allow yourself to be supported." And I promptly burst into tears.

When we have an emotional response to something that seemingly would NOT normally provoke such a response, we can be very sure that we have touched upon something that lies deep within us and seeks release. And since we all want to be clear and free and joyous, this opportunity to allow release should not go unfulfilled.

So that morning, as I walked, overcome with my emotional response to that very simple statement, I dug down into my reaction. I had not felt that I could be supported. I had not felt understood. I had not, in fact, felt that I even belonged on this planet. I had felt - not abandoned willfully - but left to fend for myself and I had felt that this fending for myself was terribly terribly difficult and distressful. That explained my reaction to the message that came from deep within me. "Allow yourself to be supported."

So, I breathed into the emotions and released them slowly. I breathed deeply again and again. I repeated that simple suggestion, invitation really. "Allow yourself to be supported."

Over the past months, since that day, I have been supported in ways that I could not have foreseen. Money flows to me effortlessly. I have so much money compared to what I used to have and it has involved no extra effort on my part, nor any change in my work. I received a three week paid vacation from my part-time job (part-time jobs don't usually give any paid vacation) courtesy of the United States Government when they shut down last October. My days are flowing and easy and relaxed. I am truly supported. I feel it. It feels so incredibly good! I feel supported. I don't have to know how or why. I just am. I just am completely safe, supported and provided for.

And I just wanted to share with you how good it feels to be supported. We have to allow ourselves to be supported. We have to release any block that lies within us to being supported. And we have to realize that being supported does not mean being dependent upon or beholden to. It does not mean that we are not free. We are supported by the world itself, by the Universe, by God. We are supported in our freedom, our creativity, our joy, our process of emotional release and increasing clarity. We are supported in all that we are and all that we choose to be. This support is frankly magical. It feels like the love of God at work in my life.

So I invite you to allow yourself to be supported. I invite you to realize that you are supported and if you already know this and feel this, then just bask in it and flow gratitude and acknowledgement of your blessedness out from you to share with the world.

Connecting to your Own Guidance

We all have wisdom within us. I love to look for the wisdom in the people around me, because invariably I see it. And it is so lovely to behold!

Often, there is uncertainty surrounding the inner wisdom that keeps it from coming through clearly.

When I connect with my own guidance, my own knowing, my own wisdom, I almost always experience great success. I ask a question to which I do not 'know' the answer with my mind's knowing. I simply ask the question and then sit quietly for a moment. The knowing comes through as a quiet voice from within me, explaining and providing the answer to my question.

In spite of the success and clarity that I have experienced, as I have accessed my own knowing over the past months, there is still a lot of resistance within me, contemplating 'getting it wrong' and 'being mistaken.'

My advice to myself is the same advice I will give to you: Breathe and do it anyway.

Ask the question. Listen quietly for the answer. Trust what comes. Rest. Repeat.

Practice accessing your own wisdom to become more and more aware of the exquisitely personalized guidance that exists within you. It is timely, relevant, sensitive to all that you are, aware of the complexities of your situation and loves you beyond all reckoning.

Life as Project

When I worked as a teacher and co-director in an alternative school, a school of child-centered education, holistic and organic, we used learning projects as the basis of our pedagogy.

The idea of projects appealed greatly to me and I began to see the various fields of endeavour of my life as projects.

The thing that I really like about a project is that is is an ongoing experiment. It is a process of trying things out because they are interesting. It is not a 'have to.' It is done for the sake of doing it.

So, in the context of a project, there is no success or failure as we usually define these. There is learning. As part of my vast project of creating a garden on these ten acres where I live, I planted some hollyhock seeds that I bought from a woman on Etsy. I could have purchased hollyhock plants at the plant nursery, but I prefer the single bloom heirloom varieties and in the plant nurseries, all they offer are the double bloom modern hybrids. I planted 24 seeds and 3 tiny little plants emerged. 3 out of 24 doesn't seem like a very good outcome, but I have learned from this experience. I planted the seeds a bit too deep into the soil. I'll know to do it differently next time.

And so it is with all projects. There is development of the project. There is learning and becoming. There is growth and development. The project has a beginning and it may eventually come to an ending of sorts as well. But it is more likely to be an organic part of the whole that you are. There is change, shift, adjustment and redeployment. The flow continues.

I have come to see all that I undertake as a series of projects. I have so many projects now! And all of them enrich my life. Each of them adds to my experience of the world.

In a very real way, my whole life is a project.

Let it Take Me Where it Will

I let go and let the divine I AM take me where it will. This is surrender of small self and of ego to the larger Self that I AM.

And it is not done by some act of will. It is a surrender because I know that only this will take me to where I am true to myself as I am now.

The practice is non-attachment and allowing things and experiences to fall away from me, allowing experiences to be what they are and then fall away. Allowing energies to slip away effortlessly, to clear out, to ground out energies that are not mine. The practice is to be in non-judgment and in compassion and then to leave that experience, whatever it is, and to move on easily and completely to the next one.

I do not say that this is always easy, but this is the way forward for me now.

Healthy Habits for Ascension

Well, they work well for me. I don't claim to be anybody's guidance. You are always your own best guidance. But these are things that have really worked well for me, so I present them here for you.

Firstly, I have been moved to bring my divine essence into the soles of my feet. I know I have mentioned this before, but it bears repeating because it is such a powerful exercise in becoming a spiritually being embodied. This has really shifted my sense of myself as God also. It is visceral and fully embodied within me.

Then there is the practice of radiating unconditional love for ALL. This has changed everything for me. I live in a different world because of this.

There is also the practice of staying in the here and now. If I stray from this, I gently bring myself back to it.

Another practice is to slow oneself down, breathe slowly, and put oneself into alignment with the rhythm of the universe. When you feel it, you know you're there. It just feels infinitely peaceful and calm. In that alignment is divine grace and you can feel that divine grace as well, when you are in alignment with the rhythm of the universe. It is almost as if the universe has a heartbeat and you are slowing and aligning yourself with that sacred rhythm.

Another way of being that can be profoundly helpful is to realize that I don't need anything or want anything to change from what it is in this moment. It is to delight in the unfolding, no matter what it is, whether it be pain, or ease, being busy, being happy or feeling empty in the moment. These are all experiences. We came here for experiences and at the level of the soul all experiences are of great service to us.

Surrendering into the now in this way has brought me into an ease and wellness that I had known only as a vague potential.

These are some practices that you might like to try. For me, the practice is the journey and wondrous grace and joy unfold from these practices. There is nothing else that I would rather be doing and no other way of being that I would prefer for myself.

All that We Are

Our physical bodies are bio-chemical and electro-magnetic vessels of wondrous complexity and efficiency. Through our physical bodies, we respond to the energies around us constantly and for the most part, without conscious thought about this response.

Our physical bodies respond, change and transform themselves to align with our energetic being.

Our emotional bodies are the realm of our emotions, of course, but they are also a sort of playground between ourselves and all of the other beings that we encounter and experience in this Earth realm. Our emotional bodies are like spongy reactive buffer zones between us and the people and animals around us. They provide rich catalyst for our soul's evolution. They challenge us to bring more and more love into our being. Our emotional bodies are where we feel and respond to the world.

Our mental bodies are shifting from third dimensionality to fifth dimensionality. As third dimensional mental bodies, they are comprised of sharp-edged and judgmental thought forms based on lack, separation from all others and fear. As the new fifth dimensional mental bodies come online, they are much softer thought forms that are expressions of the love that is centred in our hearts. The heart center loves unconditionally all that is, and is in unity with all that is in its wisdom. The mental body as a heart / mind combination, expresses that love through creations, intentions, ideas, thoughts and expressions.

And we are changing now. We are changing rapidly and completely. So take the time these days to center yourself within your physical, emotional and mental bodies. Take the time to focus on your breath for a few moments every morning and afternoon. Center yourself and move and express from that center.

Let us, at this time of unprecedented change, be all that we are. All that we are.

Love Your Life

Do you love your life?

Do you really, really love your life?

I mean everything about it.

Not because it is easy, or because it is exactly what you said you wanted...

Rather, because it is a wondrous thing, this being in the world. Every single challenge, every effort, every project, discovery, realization and experience is amazing, is LIFE, is Being in the World.

Souls line up to come here. Souls wait and then prepare themselves and then come in to this amazing creation, this incredibly cool game, to play and be and be moved and challenged in ways that can happen nowhere else in this universe.

And what we are doing here now on this planet, on this Earth, in the world of becoming is nothing short of miraculous, wondrous and unprecedented. Yes. Unprecedented. We are changing the world. Now. Here. We are changing the universe. Because the world is part of the universe and the world is holographic, as are we. So we change ourselves, we change our world. And when we change our world, we change the universe.

I mean, how cool is this!? And how amazing does it have to be for you to get excited about being an integral part of it?

So I ask you again.

Do you love your life?

Practice

I am practicing being in the moment at all times. At all moments, being fully focused on what I am doing and being in that particular moment. What am I feeling? What is my frequency?

What this does is to free me.

I feel that I have all the time in the world because I am never out of the moment.

This is key.

I intend to master this being in the moment.

Practice will bring me more of this wonderful freedom.

Physical, Emotional and Mental Well-Being

There is a practice in this ascension project which has brought a sense of unity in all of my various aspects of being, the physical, emotional and mental.

Always, we can align these three as we breathe deeply for a moment or two. This is an immediate and most welcome adjustment that we can make to our frequency. Breathe a vibration, or a colour, or a frequency into first your mental body, then your emotional body and then your physical body. Try it, for example, with the word 'peace.' Breathe in and then as you exhale, spread peace throughout your mental body. Breathe in again and as you exhale, breathe peace into your emotional body. Don't worry about where that is or what it is, just intend to do it and you will. Breathe in a third time and as you exhale, breathe peace into your physical body.

You can do this with any word... courage, love, blessing, health, balance.... you name it, you can do it.

But wait! There's more.

In the physical body, I am practicing bringing the divine essence of myself into the soles of my feet. This is the most grounded and grounding part of my body, and so bringing the divine essence of myself into the soles of my feet grounds the divine energy that I am in my purest essence right into the physical. I take it from my heart center as I breathe in and then send it all the way down to the soles of my feet on the exhale.
In the emotional body, I am practicing being in unconditional love for all that is. Whenever I feel that I am not experiencing unconditional love, I stop, check in and toggle to that frequency of unconditional love in my emotional body. I associate the emotional body with my heart center, so I send unconditional love from my heart center into my emotional body and just flood my emotional body with that unconditional love for all that is. It is like bathing in the essence of bliss and joy.
In the mental body, I am practicing being in the now moment, focusing fully on what is now, on what I am experiencing now. I don't have to like what I am experiencing now. I simply have to be fully present with it. This practice brings me into complete acceptance, which allows unconditional love, which is the energy of the divine essence of myself. So this three-faceted practice is really all ONE.

You can come up with your own practice and probably already have. Enjoy the flow. Enjoy the process and if you feel like it, you can try my practice to see if you like it for yourself.

For Others Are Your Self

We are truly all One. Others are reflections of your being. They are your teachers, your mirror, your playmates in this beautiful game.

I invite you to make it your intention to be fully present to each person as you interact with them, whether you do so in an email, a blog post, a telephone call or face to face. You have this wonderful opportunity to be fully present to them and with them, bringing the divine Self that you truly are in to the interaction and sharing that with them, simply by being. You don't have to make a point of saying anything about it. It is an energy which is shared.

As you do this, you see, you are being fully present with yourself, for others are your self.

Interestingly, as you give your full attention to another person who is speaking and being in their truth, you will feel heard, you will feel recognized.

Just Be

There is a tendency to try, and then try, and then try some more. It doesn't even matter what we are trying to do, just so long as we are trying to do something.

Let that go.

Let that go.

Take that liberating breath. Fill your lungs and then exhale relaxation into your body.

We can float from experience to experience.

We can let go of the need to control anything. Acceptance is key.

Just be.

Being in the moment without trying to change it, without trying to change yourself, feels so wonderful that I never want to leave it.

Appreciation for What Is

It's one thing to bear with it all.

It's quite a different energy within us when we are grateful for it all.

As a person who has lived with depression, chronic pain and various health issues for the past 35 years, I have a lot of experience with endurance. I have spent years and years enduring living in a body until I could finally be released. I said 'Yes' to this, but it was a "Yes, I will endure with as much grace, courage and wisdom as I can until I am released from the suffering." It was not an appreciation of the experiences of being a body. There are always pleasures. Even when in pain, the numbing effects of alcohol or drugs can be appreciated. But this numbing is an attempt to get away from an experience that we have chosen to have. We would not be having the experience if we had not chosen to do so.

So, there is a whole other level of 'Yes.'

There is the possibility of appreciation for and gratitude for every single experience that we have ever had in the physical realm within which we make our way.

Yes, what an honour and a pleasure it is for me to experience this, to be this. This every moment being and becoming is a miracle of self-expression and creation.

Physicality itself is the gift of the present moment. It is not 'that which must be borne so that I can do what I came here to do.'

It is more something along the lines of this:

Wow. I get to be here on this amazing planet, part of this amazing collective of human beings, exploring physicality, expressing all of the love that is in my heart here in this world. I get to be this littleness enjoining the limitlessness. I am transforming the littleness, the limited physical world, transforming it with the love that is in my heart. I am the self who stands separate and alone in the world of form and feeling, and also I am the observer of that self. I say yes to every single moment, to every single experience. I appreciate every moment. I am grateful for every experience.

That is the crux of the matter. Appreciation is the essence of the shift from bearing it to something very different. I appreciate the ache in my back, the throb in my feet, the sunlight blinding me as I look westward at day's end.

I appreciate every experience. I appreciate all that is.


When we say 'Yes' to all of the experiences, everything changes, our experience of everything changes, because we shift something deep within us.

Wow

I read a weekly news magazine called Macleans. It is Canadian as I am Canadian.
It gives me a look at the world. They cover international news quite well and trends in cultural and social aspects of the world around us.

I keep coming across articles in this magazine that fill me with joy. For the news is good. The news is so very good.

Peace is breaking out all over the world. Former enemies are talking to each other and working to create agreements that can last.

People all over the world are coming up with amazing ways to solve problems, be they social, environmental or technical.

Information is spreading and the idea that everything should pretty much be freely shared is gaining ground.

I keep reading about people taking more responsibility for themselves, coming up with grassroots solutions and making the world a better place.

Check out www.globalgoodnews.com but really, it is everywhere!

I love the world. The world is recreating itself right before our eyes and it is marvellous.

Soul to Sole

Breathe deeply into your heart. Again, breathe deeply and lovingly into your own heart.

Feel the soul of you, that which is divine in you, as it expands and brightens in your heart.

Breathe again and as you exhale, send that sacred soul energy that resides in your heart all the way down your body and into the soles of your feet.

Your root chakra is an energy center that comprises your legs and feet as well as the very bottom of your torso. Feel the connection to the Earth and to all living things that is in your feet.

Breathe normally now, and focus on your feet. Wiggle your toes, move your feet, and give your attention to that part of your body.

Feel the divine being that you are, your soul wisdom, the compassion and unconditional love that is your soul's essence. Feel this filling your feet.

Imagine that this energy of your soul is a golden light. That golden light fills your feet and your soles are holding that energy and then sharing it with Earth.

Bring your soul down into your soles and feel the joy that becomes your everyday experience!

Creating Through Frequency II

Most of the time, we begin our day on our own terms. At the very beginning of the day, we are in a relative state of flow and we would love for it to continue like that.

What happens is that we begin to pick up other people's vibes, or frequency state. And we allow that to change the way we feel. If someone around us is feeling hurried and bummed out, we often begin to feel more hurried and bummed out. But it isn't ours. It's theirs.

Choose a frequency. It might be calm. It might be excited and happy. It might be joyful. Be in that frequency no matter how the people around you are being. Try it. See how it feels. You don't have to change the way they are being, you just have to not allow the way they are being to change your vibe. If you are feeling sad or anxious and you are with someone who is feeling calm and accepting of all that they experience, you might decide to take on their frequency. But usually, choose your own frequency state and see if you can hold that.

There is a reason why we tend to match our frequency state to the frequency state of the people around us. We want to fit in and be accepted. We don't want to be outside of the group. This is a very powerful instinctive desire on the part of all humans. We want acceptance by others. Matching their frequency is usually a pretty good way of making sure that we will be accepted. But this is a fear-based need. We are afraid that if we don't match their frequency, we will not be accepted and then we will be on our own. That might have been true a thousand years ago, but it isn't true for us now.

So, clear that fear by being aware of it when it comes up in you and sending it a golden light of unconditional love on your breath as you inhale and exhale slowly three or four times. Send acceptance and love to that fear and then let it fade away. That leaves you free to choose your frequency and to practice holding that frequency.

One of the most powerful ways to choose a frequency and to stay in that frequency is to straighten your spine and speak from your heart. Bingo. You'll be in your truth and from there you can consciously choose your frequency.

The frequency that you are radiating will bring to you more of that. So if it is happiness, you'll experience more happiness. If it is anxiety, you will experience more anxiety. So, it is really important that we become more and more aware of what we are ... energetically. What are you? Are you calm? Are you nervous? Are you joyful? Are you worried, troubled, judgemental, angry.... Grateful, happy.... whatever you are, that is what the always becoming world around you is going to give you more of. This is always true.

So, check in with yourself. How am I feeling? What is my frequency state right now? And is it mine, or am I picking up the energies of someone else and taking them on as my own?

As you begin to take responsibility for your own frequency, you become a conscious Creator of your own experience, your own reality.

Be True to Where You Are

Right now, today, be true to whatever you are experiencing.

This seems so simple and yet it is the most powerful practice for all of us at this time.

We can be here and now and in acceptance of where we are and what we are and what we are experiencing.

In this is the ground of transformation and the becoming one thing that used to be another.

Be true to your experience. Be true to your feelings.

This is your impact, your strength. This is your ability to change the world. Right here.

Right now.

Five Questions

You have five questions to ask. What is your first question?

Why am I drunk / drugged / distracted / numb?

You are afraid and you are trying not to face your fear because you think that it will destroy you.

What am I afraid of?

You are afraid of being nothing, of being meaningless, of being void. You are afraid that you are nothing in a world that means nothing and that you have no worth, no value, no connections, no truth that is really true.

How can I move forward from this? How can I save myself from this!!??

You can ONLY move forward from this by facing your fear. There is no other way. The only way is to face your fear fully, without trying to get away from it. Once you have done this, truly done this, you will be free, more free than you have ever been in your entire existence.

How can I face my fear?

You must breathe deeply into your heart, breathe deeply into your body, do this three times. You must allow the fear to make itself known to you, allow yourself to feel it, allow yourself to face it fully. You must make the declaration: I am afraid of … and name all that you are afraid of. You must not allow yourself to run from this, to distract yourself from this. You must spend time with this, looking at your fear until you can look at it with complete acceptance, complete neutrality. Then, you must go further, accepting yourself as one who has this fear within them, accepting that this fear is yours. Then, send love to yourself, who has this fear and send love to the fear also, as an experience that has served you as you become the person who transcends fear. When you have truly done all of these things, you will be changed from within.

Last question…

What is there, after the fear?

After the fear, there is the choice to be made as to where you want to go next in your evolution as a soul in human form. You may choose to approach the divine, God, the Creator. You may choose to explore the mysteries of life and of the world. You may choose to explore the pain and suffering of others. You may choose to explore compassion or pure love or the darkness of the world. When you have faced your fear, you can explore anything, look at anything, approach anything. When you have faced your fear, you are free to apprehend and become whatever intrigues you or calls to you. But forever after, whenever something repulses you or makes you feel afraid / uncomfortable / sickened within you must go towards it, face it, come to accept it and to love it for giving you yet another experience for that which you are as a soul in human form. For if you do not do this, you will once again be trapped in fear.
