What's an easy way to forgive?

Greetings to You ~

How do you know whether you need to forgive?  Often when someone or something triggers a negative emotion in you or you place judgment on something that is a clue.

What neutralizes the unpleasant feeling of judgment is forgiveness.

Any time we say something unkind or even think it there is an underlying energy that needs to be released and cleared up.  This is often when resistance comes up because we want to justify to ourselves why we see it as truth.

What if the person or situation showed up as a catalyst to clean up your own emotion and state of well being?

What if you removed the resistance and simply wanted to clean up the energy?

What if it cleared up your own energy and had nothing to do with the other person?

You'd still feel better right?

Ho'oponopono is a healing process from Hawaii that means to make things right and bring balance to things.

This video has an interesting story about using Ho'oponopono that brought about rehabilitation at a prison in the 1980's.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSfbkG97H7Q&feature=related

What if you tried this method to clear up the energy you may hold against yourself or others?  This is what is referred to as energy healing.  There are many different methods of energy healing, this is just one of them.

The key is the willingness to believe that this can work.  The key to anything and all things is the belief you hold.  It's everything.

That's why you choose what makes sense for you.  Choose what resonates for you.  If you aren't open to the possibility of trying, it probably won't work.

If you feel called to experiment and try the Ho'oponopono healing process, here it is.

1. Think of a person or situation you have a grievance with
2. Repeat the words:
• I'm sorry
• Please forgive me
• Thank you
• I love you

The intention is to clear up your own energy to experience more peace in your own life. 

You are what you think about.  Choose the thoughts and actions that you want to project back out into the world.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Peace and Joy ~

Did you Give More Than You Received?

Greetings to You ~

How do you feel at the end of this week?  Do you feel like you still need to get more done?

If you're not feeling balanced then it's likely you expended more energy than you received.  Did you give too much to others this week and didn't receiving the support you needed.  Did you work overtime that you didn't get paid for?

There will always be ebbs and flows in our lives, that's normal.  What's important to realize is when your scales have tipped in one direction putting you in a state of imbalance.

If you feel like you're running on empty do something that will fill you up at a Spirit level.

• Listen to your favorite music
• Take a relaxing bath
• Go for a walk someplace in nature
• Find a quiet space to be still
• Look at something beautiful

Give yourself that gift even if it's for 30 minutes.  Nourish the inner and outer part of you and come back feeling refreshed and more at peace.

Have a beautiful weekend.

Peace and Joy ~

Are You on the Verge of a Breakdown or a Breakthrough?

Greetings to You ~

You want the life of your dreams right?  You want to be shown the way, take inspired action and have doors open easily for you.  You hear about this happening for other people and wish you had the same experience but the complete opposite happens.  Ugh.

You’ve gone through the steps of planning, creating and taking the action that you know in your heart of hearts is moving you toward your goal and life purpose.  Then all of a sudden chaos ensues and roadblocks appear that seem to indicate you’re not on the right path.

You ask yourself, “Why is this happening?”  Is this a sign you should be doing something else?

It feels SO frustrating when this happens and you start second guessing whether this really is your next best step.  “Is my dream really worth all of this angst and trouble?”

Chaos often ensues just before the really BIG breakthrough.  You may be challenged with technology glitches or resistance from people you care about suggesting you shouldn’t move forward.

If the action you are about to take is in line with your dreams and your vision, it’s just a test to see how committed you really are. The chaos is there simply to try to make you stay right where you are.  Staying uncomfortable with your personal status quo.  The ego mind does not want to change, even when your Spirit wants so much for you to continue. 

A great quote was shared recently from John Assaraf.  “If you’re interested, you’ll do what’s convenient; if you’re committed, you’ll do what it takes.”

When you think you’re ready for a big breakthrough embrace the chaos and know you're getting ready to go to the next level.  If you’re committed to the life of your dreams you’ll do whatever it takes.

Ask for guidance and listen to your higher Self, Spirit, Source, your intuition, whatever you refer to as your greater power before you give up.  

Wishing you open doors and breakthroughs.

Peace and Joy ~
