My Spiritual Journey (Continued)

My Dear Friends,

I thought it was about time I updated this page ‘My Spiritual Journey’ as I have neglected it for way, way too long 😦

Many things have happened to me over this past year or so, I have experienced many beautiful things and many things I would rather forget! However, I do realise that life as we know it is not a bed of roses, life comes with its up’s and it’s down’s, good and bad, happy and sad…Life, is as they say, ‘What it is’!. I

I do, however, also know that life is what you make it, life is how you view it and life is determined by your thoughts and your actions, we have choices each and every day, and most of the time we choose the easy route, the route with what we perceive is the least painful, the less challenging, and the one that sits closest to our comfort zone…But hey!, come on guys, the reality is all that you are searching for, and yearning for; sits just outside your comfort zone!….’Fact’

I, like many others am also comfortable within my comfort zone, I like to be alone most of the time, although I am a good socialiser and actually quite like it when I get off my backside and ‘Just Do It’!…But, I like many millions of others, I don’t often take the risks or walk outside my comfort zone because of fear, fear of the unknown…’Will it be ok? Will I be ok? What if?…Etc

My spiritual connection with my higher self, my sensitivity, my empathy and me healing energies have been gaining strength over the years, my intuition is really high and if I would only let go of my ego mind; fully, then abundance flows in my life, my life is filled with joy, happiness, love, and compassion, I go from strength to strength on ‘high’, high on life itself!…But it’s that damn word again ‘Fear’…that always holds me back, the fear of not being successful, the fear of letting people down, the fear of not generating enough income to survive and provide, the fear, the damn fear!…

My channeling has taken a back step of late because of fear, my daily meditations have taken a back step because of fear, my plans for my spiritual retreat have taken a back step or no step forward because of fear…..But why?….What is behind this fear?

So, yesterday I did a family constellation with a real Master, a lady who has been doing family constellations for more that 30 years, she teaches family constellations all around the world and yesterday I came out of my ‘Fear Closet’ and actually did one for myself…and it was amazing 🙂 She opened my eyes, and more importantly, opened my heart to what this fear was/is, she took me deeply into my own family constellation, we looked at all my family, my parents, their parents, brothers and sisters, aunties, uncles,children, grandchildren and the relationships within all these groups, we role-played my parents and as my heart started to open, out came the truths, the things that have been causing my fears, the things holding me back from living my life, from achieving the best from my life and holding me back from my future.

Now, obviously I’m not going to go into details of that was/is causing my fear but suffice to say I confronted them straight on, they were open right there before my eyes, I could see then, look them in the eyes and release them, and it felt great, I felt great….At last, my tears flowed, they flowed and they flowed, I met my fears head on, I took control, I gave the burdens that i have been carrying for years back to them as they were no longer mine to hold, and I stood tall; with a smile on my face and an open heart, once again ready to move forward with my life….

So, my dear friends, don’t allow your fears to hold you back any longer, reach out to someone who can help, message me if you need support, because there is ‘Always’ a way to break free of the chains that hold you back…. 🙂

Worry, Worry, Worry!

Music & Lyrics From Worry, Worry, Worry by the late great B.B King

Worry worry worry
Worry is all I can do
Oh worry worry worry baby
Worry is all I can do
Oh my life is so miserable baby
Baby, and its all on account of you

You hurt me so bad baby
When you said we were through
Oh you hurt me
You know you hurt me so bad baby
When you said we were through
Oh but I would rather be dead baby
Then to be here so alone and blue

Someday baby
Oh someday baby
Oh! someday baby
Oh! oh! oh oh yes
Oh! someday baby

“Ladies. I said ladies ladies if you got a man and the man don’t do like you think he
Should ladies you don’t hurt ‘im. I said don’t you hurt him! man happens to be
God’s gift to women! so ladies you must know that the man is already grown so you can’t
Raise him over again

So the thing to do is throw your arms around him! hold him close to
You! look him straight in the eyes! and then you tell him you tell him, you
Say “now baby you been messing up, but I know you gonna do me better.” and when he
Look at you as if he wanna know when, then you tell him “someday baby.” and if it seem
Like he’s hard of hearing or not paying you much attention or something do like you ladies
Are known to do put your hands on your hips and then you say it again ow! he have to
Be a mighty hard hearted person not to listen to you

But I don’t think it’s fair to just talk to the ladies, I think I should say a few words to the
Men too. so fellas I said fellas! fellas if you got a woman and the lady don’t do like
You think she should
Don’t you be goin’ upside of her head now. you know what I’m talkin’ about, don’t you be
Beatin’ on her. the judgment’s much cheaper if you don’t beat her. and you see if you hurt
Her you only do one thing I said if you hurt her you only do one thing! you make her a little
Smarter and she won’t let you catch her the next time. so the thing to do is throw your
Arms around the pretty little thing! now listen to me, listen to me I don’t care if she
Weigh thirty-two and a half pounds wet or five hundred and fifty pounds on her feet. if she’s
Your lady and you dig her, than she’s your pretty little thing and then you tell
Her! you say “baby! baby I don’t care what they say about you on the next block, your
My little lady and I dig you. let em talk, let ’em say what they want to say”

And fellas, you must know too that the ladies, god bless their sweet little souls, ladies
Happen to be god’s gift to man too fellas. you all agreed? you better say it cause your wife
Is listening. but there’s just one more thing I must say to you fellas, just one more thing
Don’t be too proud to beg. I said don’t be too proud to beg! if you have to fall
Down on your knees to let your woman know that you love her, go on down there
I can see some of you cats got dirty minds in the place this evening what I’m tryin’
To say, ladies love to hear their men say “baby I love you!” don’t
You ladies? I said ladies love to hear their men say “baby I love you!”
Don’t you ladies? so fellas tell your lady that you love her! she might
Think you’re lying though. tell your lady that you love her even if you are
Lying

But seriously speaking, when I goof, when I goof I usually slide up to my woman and I look
Straight at her I have to get my look first I usually say I look like a little puppy begging
For that last bone you been holding out on. I look straight at her and I say “baby! please
Forgive me honey!” and then I wait a few minutes to see how she take it. and then I
Say “baby! please forgive me honey!” and then I stand back far enough so that when
She swings I can duck and then I say “baby! you know when I goofed last week I
Was high “if she let me get away with that then I look at her real pitiful like this say
“Baby, honey you know when you’re high it don’t count. ” and then I tell her, I say
“If you forgive me honey I’m gonna do better.” And if she look at me as if she wanna know
When then I tell her “someday baby ”

Yes someday, baby
When the blood runs cold in my veins
Someday, baby
When the blood runs cold in my veins
You know you won’t be able to hurt me no more baby
‘Cause my heart won’t feel no pain

The purpose of this post today my dear friends was for us to draw our attention through music and the wonderful skills of the late B.B. King to the subject of ‘Worry’, Worry catches us all at one point or more in our lives, and some people worry all the time! Worry about not being worthy, worry about not being loved, worry about loving someone, worry about their relationship, worry about life, worry about our children, worry about our jobs, worry about making ends meet each month, worry about work, worry that we are just not good enough, worry about our safety, worry, worry, worry!

Where does worrying get us in the end?……..Absolutely nowhere!……..I don’t think anyone can give you a perfect answer where worrying brought you anything but more worry and more pain, it certainly did not bring an end to your worrying so……! What’s the point in worrying?….Focus on whats good, whats great in your life, focus on the loving people you have in your life, focus on the beauty you see when you look in the mirror, look into your heart, connect with your inner child, connect with the love that you really are, be the light once again that makes you happy, be the joy that brings joy to your life and to the lives of others, be the strength that resolves problems and not the victim of those problems……

STOP WORRYING…..

If you need help with worry issues, please let me know and I would be glad to help.

Namaste with Love

The Light of God Is Within, Love and Happiness is Within, Don’t Search for them Without!

Published 30/04/2015 by inspiringyourspirit

My Dear Friends,

I was talking with a dear friend yesterday, who is lost, and what I mean by lost is; she is lost on her way in life, she is troubled and holds anger in her heart right now, uncertainty as to her relationship with her husband, her child and her future, this uncertainty and loss of direction has stopped her in her tracks, she is now standing at the crossroads of life with a blank look in her eyes and a furrowed brow and she is finding it difficult to choose which fork in the road to take on her journey of life!

When we sat down and talked, I could see the pain in her eyes and feel that the energy in her body was at its lowest ebb, she spoke of ‘her life, her sorrow and her despair’ and her real uncertainty of where her life was taking her!

Negativity was in each word and each sentence, everything she spoke about and every thing in her life right now had a negative tone or emotion attached, her unhappiness was being controlled by her ego and the negativity was building a wall right around her, holding her captive and playing with her mind, her life and her future.

Deep down inside, in her subconscious mind, her ego mind, maybe in previous lives or old karma attached to her was a deeper problem, a problem that was holding her back, a problem or a past experience, / series of experiences that were now coming to the forefront of her mind and stopping her in her tracks. These past emotions were so strong that she was totally lost, contemplating her life, her relationship and her very future with her husband and her baby!

I listened and questioned and allowed her to speak out the words of unhappiness, her anger and feeling of loneliness, her fear of the future, her fear and hatred for all that is in her life right now, I asked her to think back and think of when these feelings commenced and how she felt when the feelings started, what brought on this change in her life. Questions were answered with negative responses and emotions were negative at every point, the fact that the love between her and her husband had started at the birth of their child, the gap widened, the distance between them as a loving couple became greater every day, the sleepless nights took their tool on both of them, the relationship changed as they now both felt trapped and no longer did they have a life together as a couple, she followed her tradition, she followed her parents, she listened to her friends, socialised only with her friends, she started to lead a separate life away from her husband and her baby was just a part of married life and what was expected of her. She worked late most nights, maybe as an excuse to be away from home as much as possible, she socialised with group friends as and when required but she passed off her baby as often as possible, socialising as was expected of her and playing mummy as was expected of her, but deep down inside was her screaming child, her inner-self, trying to break free of all that was controlling her, holding her down and keeping her captive…Her life, in her minds eye had been taken away, she was no longer that young girl, care free, with no worries or cares in the world, a fun and loving partner and wife and friend to many…In her eyes she no longer had a life, so she needed to break free, break free of these chains that held her down, the marriage that was holding her captive, the child that had taken her young life away, to walk away from her promising career, to walk away from it all, with no plan, no cares… she was ‘LOST’

We discussed love and happiness and she said she has no love, she needs love and she wants happiness in her life, and she needed to break free, to go out into the world and start anew, to look for love, for happiness and a new life….I told her, love and happiness is ‘within’ and unless you can love your self you cannot attract love from outside, happiness also starts from within. Positivity leads to positivity and it attracts positivity, her life right now is full of negativity, she expels negativity and anger and hatred in her words, her actions and her aura, and we need to work on changing this so she sends out positivity, love and happiness, we need to build up that confidence, her child like previous self, one of which was loved by many, the happy smile she once had needs to come back to her face, the furrowed brow replaced with a radiance of love and light. We can do this together, we can make this change, we will make this change, love will shine once again in your heart, you will be happy, you will have a smile, you will reclaim your life, your relationship with your husband will repair and you will love your baby together as a family once more….you will…. you will 🙂

This my dear friends is the start of my friends new journey of life, she has chosen to take the road of family life once again, I will help and guide her along the way and she is supported by the light of God, the ascended masters, healers, and angelic beings at each and every step along the way, all she needs to do is accept that she is love , love is within her, happiness is within her and the support of her husband and child is ‘Always’ with her.

Conquering Our Fears

Published 22/04/2014 by inspiringyourspirit

A perfect and simple image to go along with the last few posts I made on ‘Fear’.

Fear holds us back…End of Story!

And we all succumb to it one time or another in our lives!

This is not just fear of doing something hazardous or dangerous, its not the fear of violence or the fear that we may experience when confronted by a dangerous animal, its the ‘Fear of Uncertainty’, the ‘Fear of Failure’, the ‘Fear of Loosing Face’, the ‘Fear of not being good enough’, the ‘Fear of rejection’, the ‘Fear of humiliation’

If you want to move forward with your life you need to confront your fears and become their master.

Life is good my friends and it can be good to you too if you learn to conquer your fears 🙂

The Day You Realise That You Are in Charge of Your Life

Published 03/03/2014 by inspiringyourspirit

Realisation that it’s time to change.

I was with a friend a couple of times over these past few days, she is going through a really tough time in her life, everything is going wrong for her, her business is failing, she owes money to everyone, she has a foreclosure notice at her door and her life is a downward spiral, in short; a mess.

We spent some hours together and i listened, she told me how much she loves what she does for a living, she explained all about her business, her daughter who is also her business partner, the animals they look after, the shop they work from and their home life. I asked her some questions and held up a mirror to her so she could see who she was and what she looked like when she answered my questions with an open heart, and all of a sudden she realised! She is not in charge of her life, everyone else is…She cannot say no to her daughter who constantly spends money they just don’t have, when her daughter says ‘we need to buy this and that for the shop because if we don’t have it in stock then we won’t be able to sell it’! , they purchase more pets for their shop paying for them up front in the hope that someone will buy them, feeding them everyday and keeping them warm 24 hours a day, incurring the veterinary bills and so on in the hope that they will sell. They are passionate about animals, they are excellent pet behaviourists, they are gifted caregivers to all animals but they have no business sense whatsoever, they; like many others go on day after day on a downward spiral, loosing all hope and in most cases loosing everything.

My friend now realises that she can be in charge of her life, she can make a success of her business, she can change things around from doom and gloom to a brighter and happier way of life moving forward.

She has now started to map out a plan, to speak to her daughter and tell her the facts, to close down the shop and to concentrate on a new business model focussing on their real love, the animals and their care.

I will stick close to her and help her through the difficult challenges she has ahead of her; but she will do the work, she will be in charge of her life and she will make it through 🙂

Remember my friends, if we can help someone realise that they can take control of their lives and make changes for the better, then, we have done a great job for humanity 🙂

Namaste with Love my friends
