OH!… the changes! Life has been quite eventful the past month, I owe it all to my conscious vibration and the Universe, of course. We are all energetic beings, although we have what appears to be a solid body, we are actually vibrating atoms. Meaning we are able to consciously (and un- or sub-consciously) vibrate or manipulate matter to work for or against us. I choose to work with it.

For starters, I threw in the solely ’self-employed’ towel because I set out to build my business as much as possible in a month, knowing that after 30 days I would need to be gainfully employed again. After about 36 days I was blessed to be given a teaching position at a preschool here in the city. I’ve been doing that for the past few weeks and it’s been a blast! It has proven to be a bit of a challenge… well more than a bit, but it is one of the most rewarding experiences I could have ever manifested!

I’ve always wanted to be a teacher but after attempting to earn a bachelors in Early Childhood Education, I realized the basics needed weren’t basic at all. Most universities and colleges require an extensive amount of nonsensical courses (no offense – I do realize teaching is not babysitting and you do need to have structured, formal education) to appear on your transcript which I didnt feel were necessary — I mean really, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to nurture a child. It does however take patience and everyday I’m becoming more equipped.

In addition to being blessed with a new schnazzy ’career’, my Intuitive Wellbeing Counseling services (or Healing Arts) have been growing! The Universe has a magnificent way of aligning those who are intuned — I recently provided an incredible author, Jason Matthews, with a Psychic Divination Reading a.k.a, a Tarot reading.

I was led to Jason’s site via his wife’s site, New Moon Manifesting. It’s an incredibly informative site about harnessing the power of the New Moon and making it work for your intentions. I then meandered on over to Jason’s site and found his awesome manuscripts (that are downloadable for free!) for his novel. To make a somewhat long story short, I offer FREE Tarot readings (called FREE Tarot Fridays!) on Fridays of every week and Jason inquired about one. He enjoyed his reading so much he posted a blog about it and even donated! Thx Jason!

And the great news doesn’t stop there!!

I’m not your traditional marketer or networker.. I do it guerilla style, if you know what I mean… One afternoon, I stopped to get gas in the city and had been placing my business cards in libraries, metaphysical bookshops and such but had an intuitive nudge to leave a card at the filling station I was at. So I did! I slipped in the plastic module that holds the gas card applications — in hopes that my intuition served me right (which it always does, you should try using it sometime ;) ). The very next day, I received a call from a woman who was seeking just what I have to offer, Conscious Childbirth Education!

We chatted one Saturday afternoon about her desires for a natural pregnancy and homebirth and I informed her of the Conscious Childbirth Education Workshop that I offered. She was ecstatic to have found my business card at the filling station because just a few days prior she’d discussed with her spouse how much she wanted to have a natural, conscious birthing experience.

Now, we all know that everything is not all peaches and roses and what not, but I choose not to dwell in the negative (anymore) because it doesn’t do much good for your well-being. With that said, of course there have been mishaps and “setbacks”. I look at them as signs to slow down [re-evaluation] and change courses [growth].

As some of you may be aware I was planning on participating in the wonderful NaNoWriMo in hopes of writing my first novel. Apparently the Universe had other plans for me. The second day into typing my soon-to-be novel, my laptop was completely destroyed!! I’m talking cracked screen, wet keys, destroyed. But once again, the Universe is always working in your favor if you allow it.

The evening that I discovered my laptop was demolished I was at a local coffee shop that I absolutely, never go to (I don’t drink coffee, so it really seemed ‘random’ that I’d even be led there). When I walked in I saw a friend of mine who happens to be a computer whiz and rebuilder. I sat down and conversed with him, proceeded to open my laptop only to find that it was completely dismantled – he then spent the next 5hrs copying my files from my hardrive onto a disc… What a Godsend!

You see, I could’ve looked at that experience and been devastated or even temporarily paralyzed because of it, instead I chose to view it from the eyes of a Creator and saw beautiful alignment not tragic inconvenience. Life happens, things appear to be gloom and doom but there is ALWAYS a silver lining, you just have to recognize it.

The Universe is magnificent and always aligning to our vibration, no matter what. When situations arise that seem ‘to good to be true’ it’s best to be appreciative, give thanks and give back!

What is your energetic vibration aligning to? Are you aware of your manifestations? Take the time to consciously manifest!

For those of you who know me, you know that ELEVEN is just about one of my favorite numbers! And tomorrow marks the first time in 99yrs (1910 was the last) that we will encounter the rare phenominal, auspiciousness of this master number!! (2+0+0+9=11)

So what does this all mean? Well if you aren’t familiar with numerology you might wanna brush up on your math. Numerology is very basic mathematics with incredible outcomes and meaning. In general, 11  is a wonderful time for creation or manifesting.

I’ve personally been intrigued (ok…more like obsessed) with 11/11 or 11:11 or just plain old 11 since my father’s ‘passing’ in 2003 on November 11th. I never saw eleven the same way.

I began to see it as a serendipitous, melodic flow of life. It would appear on digital clocks, on signs, in messages, even in shadows (if I was delirious enough LOL). Basically, it consumed me and it still continues to. Not in a negative way, 11/11 has been a number of positive changes and growth for me and many others.

Since it is a power (master) number it also has very confusing energies attached as well. Master numbers are highly charged with productive, potential in turn creating inner tension for the manifestor. It can be used for destruction, rebirth and such. All in all, it’s a cycle.

Eleven is a great number for using your intuitive abilities as well, being considered the psychic’s number. I can remember like yesterday the day of my father’s death, there were signs pointing to the soon-coming change but I ignored them. (I mean really, I don’t think anyone at that age would equate their chest pains to the pains of someone who lived over 20miles away!)

Gaining insight can greatly enhance life’s quality! You will begin to acquire you desires, set goals and obtain them, and life a more SPIRITUALLY fulfilled existence.

Now “there is no one way to get to God”, in other words, you can find what methods work best for you for receiving insight but these are just a few examples:

  1. Begin by centering yourself. Clearing your mind through some form of meditation will help to eliminate mental chatter. You can’t possibly decipher chatter from insight. That’s why mediation is key! 
  2. Then, ground yourself through visualization. When you enter into the ethers, essentially you are no longer on solid ground. It is pertinent to keep your base rooted so that you’re not out of balance. 
  3. Once you’ve cleared your thoughts it’s important to raise your vibration in order to receive intuitive insight. That can be accomplish through simple intention or breathwork. Here’s a proven technique: Inhale for 4counts, hold 4counts, exhale 8counts, repeat 4-5 times. 
  4. Then you want to open your chakras! Chakras are how we receive extra sensory perceptions or ESP. I’m an empath/feeler (clairsentient) and psychic (claircognizant) and receive most information via my 2nd and 7th chakras (although I implement the 4 Clairs in everyday life and intuitive consultations). Clairaudients (hearing intuitives) get their info via their throat chakra, clairvoyants (seer) work with their 3rd eye chakra and claircognizants (clear knowing) download info via the crown chakra. We all have psychic abilities that need to be honed so practicing with opening chakras is a wonderful technique to finding and fine-tuning your abilities. Chakras can be opened by visualizing them expanding outside of your being. Imagine them spinning clockwise in vivid colors corresponding with each chakra.
  5. Lastly state your intention. What is it you wish to gain insight towards? Become clear on your question or concern and verbalize it. (You can mentally verbalize as well, some feel that if the vibration actually is given via words then it is more potent. Either way, thought vibrates, find what works for you!)

After you’ve cleared the chatter, grounded and vibrated higher, you’re now ready to receive. Now the fun begins!!! Just sit and let the information come through! It’s really that simple. Let it come through without analyzing. Take notice of the feelings you have while receiving. What visions are you seeing? What words are you hearing? What do you just ‘know’??

***

Now that you’ve tapped into your intuition, use tomorrow’s positive energies for grasping what it is that you truly wish to manifest in the next coming weeks and months. Visualize your desires, document them and feel the flow of positive emotions that accompanies acquiring your goals.

Tomorrow’s energy will only increase up until November 29th, 2010 (remember.. 2+9=11) so take the few weeks to really become clear on what it is you wish to see come into fruition!!!

If you are in need of aid, pointers, guidance I am here to help. My Wellbeing Services are available to anyone that may feel they are ready to take that next step in their spiritual path of growth. If Spirit tells you, act on it!

Happy Manifesting!! 11-11-11

Good Evening! Usually I don’t blog this late but I’ve had a LOT on my mind. Some of you may be wondering WTF is a hi-schmatus.. and some of you know my sense of humor by now to know that I’ll just make up a word for poops and smiles ( a.k.a. shits and grins).

Basically the past month has been full of researching, networking, typing, daydreaming and part-time manifesting. I’ve been over-poweringly distracted by the web; facebook and wordpress in particular. So now it’s time to take a step back, re-evaluate my desired future and begin working in that direction. The operative word being WORK!

The world-wide web can be quite the distraction. An hour can turn into 6hrs and next thing I know I haven’t even showered. So in an attempt to gain some much needed structure in my self-employed existence I think this is the perfect time for a hiatus.

But don’t worry! I will STILL be somewhere on the web… I have volunteered my writing skills to the National Novel Writing Month. NaNoWriMo is a worldwide month-long event starting November 1st until the 30th. It’s a time to put your writing skills to the test and finish a 50,000 word novel in just 30 days.. OUCH! 

It will be a great time to exercise my creativity (and my fingers) and put my daydreams to use. I hope you guys will follow my progress and check up on me for NaNoWriMo. Follow the link and you can even start your own!

In addition to writing my first novel I’ve been instructed (via ‘the guides’) to design a tarot deck of my own — now that’s the ouch part! I’m very optimistic about the outcome; it’s the process that kinda scares me. For some reason, water colors are the ‘chosen’ medium and upon doing a reading on the situation, the first card will be Four of Hearts. Anyone who’s familiar with the tarot knows Four of Hearts or Cups or Chalices (take your pick) is a card of re-evaluation, a break from distraction. I could not question any further. 

I’m not quite sure when I’ll finish the deck (not exactly worried about that right now) but I must start tout de suite!!! There is a sense of urgency in the matter, probably because of my lack of artistic creativity the past year. Either way, it will come into fruition — no rush, just discipline.

Lastly, I am working on expanding my Wellbeing Services. The independent certification for Childbirth Education will take almost two years to complete! So I offer Birth Doula services at a great discount until I decide otherwise.

In due time, Intuitive Wellbeing Counseling will be the bulk of my work — but until then I have to get it in where it fit in –LOL. I enjoy doing readings for people and massaging achy bodies and educating on staying well with herbs! It’s my life! And I want for it to be this way for a long time! So please contact me with ANY inquiries. I’m HERE to help!

Well.. that just about sums up the reason for my hiatus from the blog. In the meantime, you can always find me on the NaNoWriMo site and my Wellbeing Services are always available. The Consciously Birthing 8 Week Challenge is still live and in affect and I’ll be reporting in December for the final weigh-in. If you’re still interested in joining, that’s great! Just email me or check out the earlier posts to get up to date.

Ok. Well bye for now and I look forward to coming back to my baby, Consciously Birthing.

Spiritual Peace and Many Blessings!

all hallows eve

Samhain, or better known as Halloween (or Hallowed Evening) is one of the most acknowledged, yet misinterpreted, holidays celebrated in the world. The origin of the name Samhain (pronounced sau-an – I know…weird!) is Celtic, but commemorating death has been a tradition for many indigenous and modern-day cultures. What’s even more fun about Samhain in particular is performing ritual work — honoring those who have transitioned to another plane of existence.

Ritual work can be anything that you chose but it’s helpful to take the days leading up to Samhain to coordinate your work. The holiday spans three days depending on cultural background – celebration can begin October 31st or October 29.

Samhain has never been for dealing with evil conjuring, worship of negative spirits or such as many religions would like to believe. I’m sure there are people who prefer to use the mysticism of October 31st for such reasons but the origin is truly heart-felt. Marking the end of summer/beginning of winter, it is believed to be a time when the ‘veil of consciousness’ is thought to be thinned, allowing communication with the dead to be heightened.  

What ever your personal belief may be we all have loved ones who have left this physical realm, if nothing else, why not take the day to send deep thoughts of love to their spirits. Not to say that Halloween is the only day in which you can communicate or even honor the dead, obviously any day of the year can be auspicious if you allow it.

I’m particularly excited to conjure up my own little ‘couldron’ of esoteric goodies! To sit around a fire and feel the energies meandering this earthly realm.  With the holiday taking place in exactly one week that gives me (and you too ;) ) plenty of time to ponder the importance of ritual work and get to plotting!

Happy Halloween!

Remember to always protect your Being from lower vibrations with some form of invocation whether it be prayer, crystals, etc. Research, find and apply the methods that work best for you!

rising sun emporium tea baths

Hello! and good day, Namaste, Shalom, Hotep to all who grace the Consciously Birthing pages! Every week I like to post about an item that I’m particularly fond of — simply titled “Item of the Week!”. The items posted each week are related to wellbeing, pregnancy, spirituality, eco-living or something along those lines, and I’m always open to an item that you’ve had great success with as well!

This week’s item is called a Tea Bath sachet. They’re perfect for those who love to submerge their body into a soothing bath after a long day. Tea Baths have been used for centuries, providing much relaxation to sore and achy muscles.

Rising Sun Emporium specializes in the study, consumption, education and distribution of herbal remedies so it’s no surprise; they offer Tea Baths as well! RSE’s Tea Bath concoctions are made with 100% organic dried herb and 100% organic cotton muslin cloth ’steepers’.

The way they work is very simple: Take a pot (2-3 cups) of stove topped boiled water (microwaved water will not be beneficial, but that’s another blog in itself) , remove from heat and drop in the Tea Bath, steep for several minutes, add to bath water.

See! That was easy!

Tea Baths are a great way to benefit from the herbs healing properties, soaking directly into your skin and to your blood stream (also aroma-therapeutic!). They can be used for relaxation, stress relief, antifungal, respiratory and reproductive health just to name a few.

Rising Sun Emporium has quite a few Tea Baths to choose from, all with different healing properties. RSE will even whip up a special batch for YOU depending on your specific health needs!

Got a bad case of cramps? Try the ginger-dandelion-nettle-chamomile mix, it will stimulate blood flow while soothing your womb; providing immediate relief. Having trouble producing adequate breast milk supply? There’s a fenugreek-alfalfa-nettle-raspberry Tea Bath. This herbal mix will give your body proper nutrients while boosting milk supply and they’re definitely safe for baby too!

Each Tea Bath is packed with evenly distributed dried herbs and placed in a drawstringed muslin cloth bag. You can use them up to two times but the bag is completely REUSABLE! — just compost the herbs and wash your cloth bag. Simply reorder the Tea Bath mixture once you’re ready for another luxurious bathing experience.

RSE offers a variety of bags and since they come in set of 2 they’re only $11! For both Tea Baths! Once you’ve experienced a Tea Bath experience you’ll be hooked. It’s positively one of the most natural ways to pamper and heal yourself.

Happy Bathing!

I’m running off an hour and a half of sleep. Guess that’s the life of a doula.

***

I received a call last night. It was my guy, semi-ecstatically informing me of his sister’s arrival at the hospital. She was in her final moments of pregnancy.

I was — in shock! Not a negative shock, more along the lines of anticipation shock (if possible). It seemed as if this came out of nowhere! Regardless of knowing for the past 9 months that she was with child and one day soon would have to birth this child. That day was today.

As I mentally ‘prepared’ myself to take on the role of doula, thoughts of inadequacy fumbled through my head. Was I beginning to doubt my capability of supporting her? Did I feel intrusive?

Hours passed. I kept myself busy by making jewelry — finishing one piece, beginning another. Sensing my untimely insecurity my guy did what any caring individual would. He gave me a pep talk. 

He’s always been a great cheerleader even if it’s somewhat tactless, it was exactly what I needed to get my arse in gear.

I affirmed a few things, packed my bag and locked the door behind me. It was 3am and somehow I was wide awake. Arriving at the hospital 15mins later I speed-walked my way through the entrance, up the escalators and onto an elevator, managing to find the exact floor.

Walking down the corridor to her room seemed an eternity; while everything I learned in the books vanished from my memadex. I knocked and slowly opened the door.

There she layed on the hospital bed — monitors beeping, IVs dripping, florescent track lighting. This is the moment we’d all been waiting for.

We giggled and chatted for a few until I witnessed her first contraction. I cringed with pain. Whew! That was a contraction huh? That really looked —– UNPLEASANT.

The pain subsided and we began giggling and chatting again until BAM! – another contraction. I cringed again. At this moment my Self is saying to my body, “WTF are you here for if you’re just gonna stare??!”.

BAM! – another contraction! I jumped up, got close to her and proceeded to massage and comfort her. Whew. that was ok.  …She thanked me.

Eventually, the nervousness diminished, allowing me to provide her the loving support she needed. Hours passed as we watched the clock, the tube and the contractions. Several hours into active labor growing tired (rightfully at 5am, she’d been there since late the evening before) she asked for an epidural.

I cringed… again.

The only epidural I’d witnessed were on video. The whole idea of having something slither down the spine made me nauseous. But I was curious to watch. At that moment I said a prayer for her and baby’s wellbeing.

The nurses propped her in the assumable position and did their work. Her boyfriend and I watched as they pricked her with needles and threaded epidural loveliness (a.k.a. a catheter) into her spine. All done! They taped her up and layed her down. 

Whew! (again). That was easy!

Eventually her contractions numbed and she was able to nod off for a bit. She awoke at 5:34 to a ‘broken water’. I double checked the good news and paged the nurse.

From then on out the labor was uphill. She dialated quickly and by 8:30 was pushing. No forceps. No episiotomy. No cesarean. Just plain old intuition!  Five pushes later (to put it lightly) — It’s a GIRL!!!  Beautiful, bright and alert. 

One by one, family started to arrive at the hospital to witness their first grandchild, niece and daughter! Of course, my guy was proud as can be –adding uncle to the roster is a huge feat! (Besides, we get to live vicariously through her until we decide to have our own LOL.) 

At the end of the day (or more like the beginning ;) ) she was nursing her newborn daughter, Chloe, and bonding like mother and child. Her glowing skin was a sight to see as she thanked me for my support. In return I thanked her for her support and gave her the biggest love hug!

Experiencing my first doula job was necessary and quite surreal. Positively, the more I immerse myself in the profession apprehension will dwindle, getting over the ‘hump’ is the key.

I thank you, Jess for letting me be a part of your labor. Your first was my first and my first yours!

Best wishes with Chloe and Daddy =) …and I’ll definitely be over soon for some postpartum fun!

Tomorrow begins the much anticipated, at least for me anyway, Consciously Birthing 8 Week Challenge!

This 8 Week Challenge is the perfect way to lose that last bit of weight right before the end of the year (for those who haven’t reached that New Year’s resolution yet).

In the coming weeks, you can be sure to find loads of positive affirmations, practical exercises and possible tips. Since the Challenge launches tomorrow, I thought it’d be beneficial to give ourselves a push!

Affirmations are words that are rephrased into the present tense; in a sense ‘tricking’ the time-space continuum into thinking the projected outcome has already come into fruition! Or simply by retraining your subconscious mind — it really is a neat ‘trick’.

While affirming, it is important to feel the positive emotions that accompany your desire. Smile while you affirm your wishes. Feel the flood of contentment from reaching your goal. (Truly, our emotions are the indicators of how much we want the new reality.) 

Of course, there is that lag of time where your subconscious doesn’t quite believe what it’s being told, but in due time that will be broken. Invoke those positive emotions into your words and soon you’ll SURELY be believing and honoring yourself through words.

Below, I’ve listed some great affirmations to get the mind exactly where it needs to be in order to begin fostering change. Write them down if you wish. Carry them on your Being. Repeat them often.

ENJOY!

 

I NOW see myself as being healthy.

I make positive, healthy choices for myself.

I love the way my healthy body looks and feels.

I AM beautiful.

I enjoy eating healthy, live (raw) foods.

Healthy foods make me feel and look amazing.

I enjoy exercising.

I AM strong.

Being active makes me glow from within.

My body loves the benefits of exercise.

I AM grateful for my beautiful, healthy body.

Everyday I am closer to my ideal weight.

My body is a powerhouse! (or a ‘brickhouse’ LOL)

I AM maintaining my ideal weight effortlessly.

 

Come up with your own affirmations! Remember — keep them in the present tense. It doesn’t do much good to say: “In 8 weeks I will be thin.” That means’s nothing to the subconscious except for “In the future I will be thin.” And the future can be a far out reality.

I hope you find these helpful! Be sure to check back in the following weeks for more tips throughout the Consciously Birthing 8 Week Challenge!

Happy and Healthy!

This week’s item is Cannibus sativa! A.K.A… HEMP!! 

Derived from a cannibus plant, magically it is transformed to provide us with a plethora of everday uses. It is durable, edible, industrial, usable!! So why are we still using petro??

Now, there is a considerable difference between Cannibus sativa (industrial uses) and recreational or medicinal cannibus – from size in plant once it reaches maturity (usability) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels. Although there is THC found in the sativa strand it is not enough to produce any sort of chemical reaction.

Hemp was originally grown in Asia and parts of  Africa, but it’s cultivated on just about every continent nowadays. In Japan, hemp is predominately used for paper and fiber – while other countries like South America make an abundance of hemp seed oil.

Unfortunately, the United States is slow in it’s efforts to ‘reduce, reuse, recyle’ and we are still unable to grow this miracle plant!! (Unless you’re under their jurisdiction and have a license.)

Personally I love hemp (if you couldn’t tell *wink*) and have found it to be a huge benefactor. You can check out my hemp jewelry collection on Facebook!

You don’t have to be ‘granola’ to enjoy hemp. Familiarize yourself with this God-given plant and incorporate it into your daily life. I’m sure you’ll say to yourself, “Why wasn’t I usin’ this before?!”

Light the path on your journey – Healing begins with you!

Have you ever had an immense longing to have something be a part of your existence? Say for instance, a trip to a world-renowned city or a hybrid car with heated seats and GPS or maybe just a healthier physique — and upon realizing your dream you were stumped.. with no idea how it would come into fruition.

One of my favorite ways to manifest dreams is through vision boards. Vision boards are a simple, fun technique that only requires your vivid imagination, your hopes, your dreams – and a little glue.

The way vision boards work is by pulling your ideals out of your head and into your sight — whether it’s peripheral or smack in your face. Having a vision board to refer to often brings your wants into manifestation sooner.

So ready to start manifesting?! Grab some scissors, glue, poster board, literature (mags, books, brochures, etc) and your deepest desires!

Once you’ve got yer hankerins in yer head get to cuttin’! Cut out anything that you wish – pictures, phrases, words, numbers, etc. Found the same phrase twice? Use it again! The more, the merrier – it’ll surely serve as an indicator that you really want it.

Now, there are several ways you can compile your board. You may choose to make different boards for different wants or you may choose to have several themes on one board all intertwined. Personally, it depends on what I’m wanting to manifest and the type of attention I’m wanting to give to each desire. Often times I’ll just put all of them on one board and group accordingly.

Placement is another aspect I take into consideration. The desires I wish to manifest sooner get top (or center) placement on my boards and vice versa (it’s just a personal preference and I’m not quite sure if it has any metaphysical weight to it but it’s possible).

Making a vision board doesn’t have to be rocket science. If it’s becoming a chore then put it away for another day – when your Spirit tells you to come back to it. I mean really, what’s the point in working on your dreams if they turn into dreads? Invite your friends over, make it a Goddess party, have some gourmet munchie food (thx MamaJess!) and turn up the music!

Enjoy the process - that positive energy serves as an indicator to the Universe and yourself that you’re in alignment with your wants. And believe it or not, it’s a form of invocation. *big smile*

Well, I hope this post serves it’s purpose and you find yourself cutting and pasting, making your dreams a reality. I would post my board but I do have preconceived notions about sharing that sort of information. Once I’ve manifested then I’m more likely to spill the beans!

There’s no right or wrong to creating your board, so get to it!!

Happy Manifesting!

We all have life lessons to learn. They’re like this nagging, persistent thing that rears it’s ugly head, at what seems to be the wrong time — every time. The peculiar thing is these lessons are, what you might call, Karmic or predetermined.

For instance, I can, 100% without a doubt, state that I have reincarnated to learn patience (and that’s just the beginning!). How do I know?  Well for starters – I can be extremely anxious when I am not ‘flowing‘. I use flowing as a way to describe the way I view life (because indeed it’s all RELATIVE).

Life to me is like an improvisational play. You are well aware of the plot – your present existence on planet Earth – but the line by line thing is kinda fuzzy. And just like in improv there’s no need to know lines, you just have to be aware of the story and it molds together and unfolds in the most unforgettable, comedic, ironic, ‘coincidental’ way.

Truly there are no coincidences and EVERYTHING, absolutely everything – from losing your virginity to losing a parent -  has it’s place and time in life. Our individual, yet collective experiences gel us together in a type of improvisational flow.

So back to the meat (or tofu) of the matter, flowing is simply realizing that things, situations, circumstances and such occur at the right time no matter what – ‘let go and let God’ and resist the urge to force square pegs into round holes.

How do you know if you’re forcing things to work a certain way and not flowing with Universal law – because life just plain ole stinks when you resist. Things are harder to manifest; you push only to have it crumble. Imagine a pregnant woman trying to induce labor midway through her pregnancy – it can be done but the outcome WILL NOT be what she asked for.

Emotions are great indicators of resistance as well! Depression, doubt, indifference can be crippling – causing further resistance. It’s all about flowing WITH the Universe and not against the inevitable. Now that doesn’t mean to be lazy and stagnant – those are forms of resistance as well. Life is vibrant, moving, creation and  requires the same from us.

***

In the end, my lack of patience is my wanting to speed things along when obviously the Universal timer has not yet “DING”ed (it’s a great thing I’m aware because knowing, is indeed, half the battle).

It can be difficult for me to slowly watch things manifest, which is the most opportune time to focus elsewhere. So in the meantime, I’m gonna continue with my studies and get out here spreading words of positivity, love and humor while the Universe keeps on brewing what is in the near, awaited future.

Patiently
