Empowerment, not blame

There’s a concept in the spiritual/new age beliefs that says that you create your own reality. That whatever is going on in your life – you have chosen or created it, perhaps not on a conscious level, but on a subconscious one.

I do believe this to be true, and I see a lot of people hating this concept, because they think that they are to blame, or at fault for their illness, their bad relationships, their circumstances, or their situation.

But the way I see it, is that if I am responsible for creating what I am currently experiencing, then I am capable of changing it. If I am not responsible, and it is the creation of some outside person, deity or force, then there is absolutely nothing I can do to change it.

I am powerless. I am at the mercy of the whims of the unknown.

So I prefer to see myself as being the creator of my reality. Because I find it empowering to be in control of my own situation. Because even if there is something I cannot change – I can change my perspective of it. I can change my experience of it.

When it comes to health, if there is a dis-ease or issue in my body, I do what I need to do to heal. I change my diet, I see a professional therapist, I change my thoughts, and I nurture and care for myself. I do not blame myself, berate myself, hate my body, fight it and punish it for failing me. Because even though I believe that I created the issue, it doesn’t mean that I consciously wanted that particular illness. It just means that my actions/thoughts/beliefs up to that point created it, so I need to change them in order to heal it.

When it comes to finances, instead of blaming the economy, my job, or taxes, I now look at where I am spending unnecessarily. I look at what I can save, where I can make more money, and learn how to manage it better. I change my beliefs and my thought patterns.

When it comes to relationships, I no longer blame the other person for what is not working. Instead, I go within, turn up the self-love dial, and make sure that I am in complete authenticity with myself and with them. I make changes in my own behaviour.

When we blame, we hurt. When we take responsibility, we heal.

Perspective is everything, and how you see things will be the way you experience them.

What do you think?

Surrender to Wellness…

… rather than fight the illness.

Last night and this morning I have been watching the Heal documentary on Netflix, and then this morning I had a reflexology treatment, during which we were chatting about healing and well-being, and the thought occurred to me that we needed to surrender to wellness, rather than fight the illness.

Because the body only has the ability to heal when it is in a state of rest and relaxation. It cannot heal itself in the fight and flight mode. And let’s be honest, we are in a fight or flight stress mode most of the time. We are always busy, always on the go, always on our phones, always working, always thinking, always worrying… in a constant doing mode.

Then suddenly we get diagnosed with a disease, and what do we do?

We fight it.

We fight this foreign invader in our body. Whether it’s a virus or a malignant growth or whatever. And by fighting it, we actually feed it. We make it stronger. By making it a part of our identity, and our story, we give it life. We make it a whole entity in itself. And we ensure that we will never be free of it. Because that would mean losing part of ourselves.

But what if we surrendered? What if we accepted its presence, and acknowledged that our body is trying to tell us something, and then in a calm, and relaxed manner, began to look at what lies beneath it, what might be causing it. Whether it’s your environment, your diet, the people who are surrounding you, or your thoughts and beliefs and unhealed trauma.

And then we resolve those issues. We change old outdated programming. We lessen the time spent with people who make us feel bad. We change our habits, our diet, and spend more time away from the screen and in nature instead.

There are so many ways to do this. Through complimentary therapies, through meditation and yoga, though EFT, through good conversations with friends. The point is, when you take your well-being and health into your own hands, and take full responsibility for it, you can heal anything.

But most importantly, when you fully and completely relax and rest on a regular basis, you can heal anything.

Your body is amazing, you are amazing, and absolutely anything is possible.

I believe you deserve to be well, do you?

The truth will out!

The last few weeks have been very interesting, energy-wise. In one weekend we had the Summer Solstice, the Supermoon, Mercury went into retrograde and we had solar flares. Not the cheeriest of times for most!! I found the run up to that weekend pretty tough, everything rose to the surface and suddenly all of the situations I had been avoided reared up and I couldn’t ignore or deny them any longer.

I had to face them head on. I can’t say that I did so very gracefully, but I felt better for acknowledging them and seeing the truth of the situations. But also, it gave me the opportunity to look for the solutions too, and all of those things that had been hanging around in the back of my mind were cleared.

Since then, truth and authenticity have been the major topics of conversation in my circles of friends, as we see those who are not being authentic and honest either disappearing from our lives or trying to attack us. It has been a case of constantly clearing the energies, clearing and healing ourselves, and most importantly, sending love and light to those who are floundering and falling into the trap of the ego.

Every day we have to choose between our true selves and our ego. Every day we have to choose anew for if we don’t then ego will find a way to knock us off course.

When material matters are forefront in your mind, you know that the ego is at work. When you are focussed on getting more, having more, or feeling dissatisfied with what you have been blessed with in life, you know that it is ego.

When you are taking good care of yourself, and so are able to help others, and seek to assist and guide them on their path, you know that you are living your truth. When each night you go to sleep, knowing that you have done all that you could have, and that you are thankful for all your blessings, the beauty around you and the love that you are filled with, then you know you are your authentic self.

You are pure love, and you are also one with every living soul you encounter. Treat them with the love and respect that you deserve also. In this time of change and shifting energies, be sure to stay grounded, and connected to the divine source at the same time. And surround yourself with those who are speaking, living and acting out their truth. Let anyone who is not to walk their own path, but don’t get involved in their drama. When they are ready to live their truth, their paths will cross yours again.
