I embraced my path, and now my life is falling apart!
Did you begin your spiritual path hoping to be more happy, centered, and successful, with more rewarding relationships, work, and abundance? Have you experienced your life falling apart instead?For me, and for many of my clients this is a common experience. Our dissatisfaction with life begins our spiritual search, and we become happier with the search, and then WHAM right when we get going life falls apart. What's going on here?My own thoughts are that when we truly commit to ourselves and expressing that self in the world, we come to a point where we must let everything that doesn't align with that true self go. Actually, all that doesn't fit is going anyway---it's our attachment to the old stuff (even if it was unhelpful old stuff) that hurts.I've gone through several of these clearing experiences over the years, and each time I've wound up more happy, centered, successful, with more rewarding relationships, work, and abundance. Now, I've learned to welcome the painful chaotic parts of this process, knowing that something better is right on the other side.Sometimes a kundalini experience accompanies the releasing process.What are your thoughts? Have you experienced this burning and rebirth process?Elaine
Is it true that if I don't feel good I can't create what I want?
In my Heart's Desire class and Attract Your Ideal Mate class I've had many questions around the importance of feeling good and raising energy in order to create what we really want. The typical teaching goes: Happy energy is good, Unhappy energy is bad. Usually clients feel like they are doomed because they don't feel good much of the time.In my own life I've created wonderful things that I truly desired when I was feeling awful. For a certainty it is much easier to create when we are feeling good. But, if we happen to be feeling bad (angry, sad, doubtful, guilty, exhausted, etc.)that's just the way it is in that moment, and there is nothing wrong with that.What's more important here than trying to feel good so we can be in the right "space" to create what we want is to authentically experience whatever we are feeling in the moment. There is no need to be afraid of an authentic experience! By acknowledging our feelings and feeling them in the moment they will pass. In many instances just the acknowledgement of what we are feeling will help us locate the subconscious belief that could be generating the negative feelings.It's important to remember that all feelings are temporary. It's a relief to know that the bad emotions are temporary as long as we don't repress them. But, it is also true that the good emotions are temporary, too. I'd suggest letting them all flow by not pushing away the bad ones or trying to hang onto the good ones. By allowing our emotional state to be whatever it happens to be at the moment, we can make sure we are spending our energy taking loving actions from intuitive guidance and focussing on heart's desires, which is what is at the heart of the conscious creation process.Elaine
Why are all these old boyfriends showing up now?
Have you ever had the experience of deciding to change your life, and then suddenly all sorts of temptations appear to throw you off track?In our Attract Your Ideal Mate class we warn our participants about half way in that once they make the commitment to attract an Ideal Mate, many of their previous relationships will make another appearance. This happens with such regularity that we've made it a topic of the course. In one such instance a participant was contacted by several old boyfriends within the same week.What's going on here? We think what's happening is that Spirit/God/theDivine (how ever you want to call it) is arranging another opportunity for choice. Some think of it as a test of sincerity to choosing a new way of living (in this case, a new kind of relationship), but I wonder if it's not also an opportunity to achieve closure with old relationships before moving on to the rewarding next one.Has this happened to you, either with relationships or with other big life changes?Elaine
Uncomfortable in a Cluttered Space
One of my former clients recently asked me why she felt so uncomfortable in a cluttered space. Physical clutter is energetically draining. As we open up to our intuitive guidance more and more, we notice how our energy is drained. Once she removed all clutter from the room, and also as many objects as possible, she found herself loving to be in that space.What are you experiences with spaces, clutter, and the feeling of comfort within rooms? Has your intuitive ability increased the more you put yourself in a cleared space?Elaine
