MYSTIC MESSAGE: from The Divine Feminine: Giving — A New Way to Think About It

Dear Ones,

We would talk to you today about the concept of giving to others.

There is a teaching that Giving is greater than Receiving but, to many people, this has become an admonition to avoid receiving and a judgment against giving to oneself. We would like to discuss changing your thinking regarding this concept.

Now, we are not going to say that it is not a good thing to be a giving person, for it IS good to give. But if you allow yourself to consider giving to others as more important than giving to yourself you will find yourself depleted of resources for the next person in line after you have given all you have to give. This is not just about physical presents but also your time, your energy, your resources, your thoughts and beliefs, your body. There are so many ways that you can give yourself away until you have nothing left to give. We want you to change your thinking about this.

Giving to others is a wonderful energy that creates a high vibrational frequency for all involved. That means that the recipient of gifts also has their frequency raised by the experience when the giving is of the proper energy. But, and this is a big ‘but,’ if you give out of resentment or a wish to be doing something else or an anger, at someone else or at yourself for getting yourself into yet another situation over which you feel you have no control or for which you wish you had said ‘no’ instead of ‘yes,’ then you are giving from a low vibration energy that impacts others as well as yourself. What are you truly giving under these circumstances?

Do not give when you feel yourself in a negativity associated with a lower vibration, for others do not deserve that ‘gift’ of negativity. Whatever you are feeling projects outward into the Universe and impacts those around you. When you are feeling anger or hatred or resentment you project a vibration that taints the very air around you. It is not kind to subject others to that low vibration and you certainly don’t want to do that in a gift-giving situation.

Rather, lift yourself up by thinking of something positive about the situation or the person or the gift before you connect with another. And it is best to do this before you are committed to the giving. Are you feeling forced to buy a gift for someone you do not particularly like? Then ask why you are doing this. If it is an obligation, such as a family member or a work colleague, and you feel you must do this, then find something positive to consider to lift your energy level. Did they once do something for you? Can you give them something for their smile? Do they support a cause you believe in? Are they a good parent? Will your giving a nice gift raise the vibration of the relationship?

Sometimes the giving is not of a gift but of yourself and your own resources. Ask yourself why you are in this situation. Be very honest with yourself. Perhaps you are already committed to this situation at this time but can you make a conscious decision to say ‘no’ next time? If you feel you have given away your power to another by accepting blindly their beliefs, adopting their thinking, subjugating your own desires to theirs, then you must seriously examine the relationship. Why are you willing to make a gift of yourself if it depletes who you are?

Give to yourself the respect, honor and resources that you deserve. Give to yourself the time you need to replenish your energy so that you can be generous to others. Take care of your needs so that you remain in a position to give to others when they are in need. Be very careful about giving away your own power to others – it is your most precious resource.

And keep yourself thinking positive thoughts so that your energy is always at a high vibrational energy. Give this to yourself and you will be a more generous giver to others.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Dreams and Visions and Goals, Oh My!

Where do you stand in the realization of your dreams? Do you create visions and goals for yourself? Are you a New Year’s Resolution fan, but have you abandoned them by February?

There is not much in our culture that supports our desire to live our dreams. Kids are taught ‘It’s just a dream’ when they come to Mommy or Daddy after their night visions. But many indigenous cultures believe that Dreamtime is Reality and what we call reality is a collective illusion. If that is true, then we can dream a new reality into existence.

Do you take time to dream? Back when I was a programmer, in the ancient days of room sized computers, there was a designer who used to sit at his desk with nothing on it except his feet while he stared off into space. Everyone knew not to disturb Bob when he was sitting this way because he was thinking through the program he was working on, essentially dreaming it into existence. The boss would just walk by his office, not bothering to stop in but also not judging Bob as not working just because he wasn’t writing or typing. Eventually, Bob would whip out the program in record time and it was always almost perfect the first time it ran. He created it first in his mind and then he manifested it in the computer. It was a very elegant programming style!

I often find myself so ‘busy’ that I don’t take time to just dream. I have to program that time into my calendar so that I can be as creative as possible. If I am constantly focusing on fixing problems I am energizing problems. If I am always looking at the details I am missing the information available about the big picture. And, conversely, if I create the dreams but do not take any action to realize them then they are not energized and dissipate like vapor in the wind.

Have you ever done a vision board? You cut out pictures and words from magazines and glue them to posterboard, then post this in front of your desk so that you can energize what you have desired and created as a vision for your life. Many people have realized exactly what is on their vision board. My friend is doing a workshop wherein he will help people to create a digital vision board so that it can be their computer wallpaper or screensaver they can keep it in front of themselves while modifying it as circumstances warrant. There are many ways, such as, video, to create a vision for your life.

Why not try one this week for yourself? Take some time alone [you don’t want anyone else’s energy or dreams or visions to influence you] and let yourself dream your future. What would you love to see in your life in the next year? Picture yourself a year from now [or 6 months or 3 years, whatever feels right for you] looking back and describing what has come into your life. Speak to yourself in the present tense of already having this in your life. Feel the energy of having your dreams come true. Welcome with gratitude those dreams.

You don’t have to create the vision board but it’s a powerful tool. The important thing to do is to create the vision! Even if you are not a visual person, create the feeling of having that dream in your life and allow yourself to be emotionally and mentally in that place of acceptance of your dream come true.

Let’s all support each other in realizing our dreams. Next time you meet someone, instead of asking them, ‘What do you do?’ ask instead, ‘What do you dream for yourself?’ You might be surprised by the answers you receive!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Dream the Fulfillment of Your Life Purpose!

Dear Ones,

What kind of planner are you? Do you write out specific goals and work doggedly to achieve them? Or do you have an idea and then ‘go with the flow’ to see where you end up? Do you share your goals and dreams with others or do you hold them as secrets inside yourself? What are your visions for yourself, your life?

Many people spend a lot of time lamenting what they have or don’t have in their lives when, if they spent the same energy thinking about what they want to have they could actually be moving in the direction of manifesting that in their life. This is the only useful aspect to developing dreams, visions and goals for any aspect of your life.

If you wish to lose weight, for example, yet spend all of your time thinking about how you don’t weigh the amount you wish you weighed, then you will always be striving for something that is distant from you. If you wish you had more money in your bank account you will be energizing the amount that is there [or not there] without energizing manifesting energy for what you want to have there. If you are constantly talking about wishing you had a relationship/job/business/friend//car/whatever that is not in your life at the moment then you are energizing the lack thereof.

Some people do not have dreams and visions for themselves. Or, if they do, they are nebulous and far away. We wish you to change that for yourself.

But don’t write down goals and then beat yourself up if you do not achieve those goals. Dreams and visions and goals should be constantly reassessed as new information and circumstances arise. The first step is to create the dreams and visions and goals that are in alignment with your Life Purpose.

Do you know your Life Purpose? Do you have a plan for achieving this? Have you examined the dreams you have for your life to check their alignment with your Life Purpose? This is the work of the world today.

Many are focused simply on what they are lacking: money, food, a home, a job. And there are many who are existing without these things. What if your Life Purpose were to make a lot of money so that you could support those who are needing help? Others need an education so that they can be self-sufficient but they do not have access to the education they believe they need. Are you an educator?

Sometimes dreams can intersect. For example, if you are one who dreams of owning a business and someone else who has a dream of selling their business, there could be a match up of dreams that would benefit both parties. But if you are constantly energizing the lack of the business you wish to own, and/or they are constantly energizing the lack of a buyer for their business, you could both miss an opportunity to realize a dream.

Do you see how this works? Create the dream, the vision for yourself and your life. Energize that dream by joining with it emotionally and mentally. Believe that that dream is realized somewhere in the Universe and you are getting closer to arriving at that dream. Welcome the dream. Be grateful for the manifestation of that dream. Feel what it feels like to be in perfect alignment with a dream you can realize. Stay in gratitude and see the dream as present in your own reality within the Universe.

And believe that all the resources that you need to realize that dream, like the person who wishes to help you achieve your dream while they achieve theirs, are actually present right now, ready for you to accept those resources and enjoy the dream.

Dream yourself into your success TODAY!!!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Share the Vision

What is your typical response when you feel fearful? Do you hide? Do you lash out? Do you run? Do you analyze? There are many ways to respond to fear but most of us stay in the fear and then choose an action.

What if you feel the fear but dialogue with it? Use the fear as a signal instead of trying to ignore it or trying to run from it or attacking it. Our emotions are powerful pockets of energy in us. Because we’re human we have the capacity for great depths of emotion and, we hope, the wisdom to express those emotions appropriately.

Now what if we channeled all the energy of our emotions into the creating of our reality?

The truth is that we are doing this all the time, whether consciously or unconsciously. What we attach our thoughts to following the feeling of our emotions is energized by the energy of those emotions. It’s like hooking up a huge battery to something and letting the energy of the battery activate whatever is hooked up to it. Wouldn’t you like to energize something you actually want to attract into your life rather than attaching that fully charged battery of energy to something that you don’t want?

Fear causes us to focus on what we are afraid of, what we are afraid will happened but don’t really want to have in our life. And the energy of fear can be a powerful battery to charge up the vision of what we don’t want to have. [Did you know that you cannot have fear of something without creating a mind picture of just what you don’t want? Your unconscious mind can’t make sense of a thought about what you fear unless it creates this mind picture of what you are fearing. That alone energizes what you don’t want in your life!]

Now imagine hooking up a positive vision for your personal future to a huge battery fueled by the emotion of joy. Can’t feel the joy yet? Then ramp it up by thinking of something that, in the past, made you feel great joy. Amp it up within yourself. Add all the senses to this exercise. What did you smell? What could you taste? Hear? See? How did it feel? Keep cycling through the senses as you increase the joy. You are charging a battery with some good ‘juice’!

Then switch what you are picturing to a picture of that positive vision that you created. Pour all that Joy Energy into the picture of that vision. Use all your senses to feel, see, hear, taste, smell that vision. How will it be when that has already come into being? Stay with it. Imbue that vision with joy. This really energizes and magnetizes that vision for you.

When you take that vision to others and share it, they, too, can share in the joy and can add their battery to yours to give even more energy to that possibility. This is how a positive vision for the future can imbue humanity with hope. Lots of people getting together to energize a shared vision of a positive future can make things happen.

Start using this technique in your daily life and see if your outlook doesn’t improve. Create your positive vision and share it. Help others energize their positive visions. Spread the joy!

And help humanity have hope because one person shared a positive vision of the future.

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: You Can Create the Future for All Humanity!

Dear Ones,

What are your thoughts as you approach the days to come? Are you in fear of something you don’t understand or that you can’t see clearly? How do you let fear act in your life?

Many people worry about things that have not happened yet and they share their worries with others until those ideas take hold and create an energy of their own. Fear follows this dynamic. But all along the ideas were not reality, just someone’s picture of a possible future reality and they grabbed the attention of others to drag them into fear of this possibility along with the originator of the idea and soon there are crowds of people believing that this will be real in the future and that they should fear it. This all started with one person’s idea of what was possible in the future.

What if that one person deliberately set out to gather crowds of people around them so that they could control the future? What if that one person knew exactly what would happen if they could generate fear of a potential happening, enough fear to energize that very possibility? And what if that one person had something to gain by having those crowds actualize that possibility?

If this all sounds rather sinister, that’s because it is. Generating fear in large numbers of people is an ancient way of controlling a population. Creating someone or something to fear focuses attention away from the actual realities of the moment and distracts the crowds from the truth of the moment.

Now what if someone who was wiser and more caring decided that fear is not healthy for a population and that the people would benefit more from seeing a positive possibility than from fearing something negative? Imagine the energy that could be created around that positive possibility?

That, Dear Ones, is what a Conscious Human is called to do. Create a positive possibility and energize it. Share it with others so that they can feel uplifted and expanded. Generate hope that things are not as dark as they seem. Move people into feelings of empowerment because they can envision themselves becoming more empowered and can, thus, energize that vision for themselves. What could humanity create if huge numbers of people engaged in this activity?

This is your task today. Generate positive visions for yourself, your personal life, and for all of humanity. When you feel yourself drifting into fear ask yourself how you have given away your power to someone else’s vision. When you feel strong use that energy to increase the energy vibration of your positive vision. Use your own feelings as a gauge for what you are being asked to do in the moment.

Allow yourself to be a tool for the creation of a positive future for humanity. Do not give energy to the negative. Understand what is going on around you but do not become attached to it. Disconnect from situations and people that you feel bring you down from your higher visions. Do not allow yourself to attach to fear but use your feelings to point you toward your direction of growth.

All this is available to you today. Create the vision, share it and energize it. And you can do this from the comfort of your armchair!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Are You Ready to Live Your Life Purpose?

What a pep talk! As we move forward with our lives isn’t it easy to get caught up in all the urgent tasks that we forget about the important ones?

I know that my life is better when I spend a sufficient amount of time in my spiritual practice. I meditate, journal, ask for guidance. And if I fill up my schedule so much that I don’t have time for this then I suffer, sometimes even physically. Meditation can improve how I feel. Journaling can calm an emotional upset by allowing me to tune in to inner wisdom and see a situation from a different perspective. And have you ever used a tool such as angel cards or tarot when you need words of wisdom and they seem to magically know exactly what you need to see/hear? I can’t count the clients who say that this has happened to them. ‘I keep drawing the same Goddess Card over and over. Guess I really need to focus on that area in my life.’ ‘I was asking what I should do and a card popped out of the deck while I was shuffling. It was exactly what I needed to do!’

People say these things all the time. And yet we often wallow in the misery of our situation without using the tools that are at our disposal.

When we focus on our problems we are playing small. When we focus on our inner greatness, what I call ‘inner splendor,’ then we can reach out for something bigger in life. We can reach out with our Self to manifest our own destiny, the Life Purpose we were born to achieve. We need to first, though, believe that we deserve the HUGE mission for which we were born.

No one is born to sit in a corner and stick his thumb in a pie like the Little Jack Horner of nursery rhyme fame. YOU were born to fulfill a Life Purpose that is greater than that. For all the clients that I have helped to discover their Life Purpose, the answer is always something larger or greater than they had anticipated. They might already be on the right track to manifesting that purpose, but there is an added piece that takes them beyond what they could see before. There is a focus that helps them to grow in leaps instead of baby steps. There is greatness in them that must be exposed.

It is my wish that every person who encounters these words learns what their Life Purpose is so that they can accept the enormity of their pre-birth commitment to the rest of humanity and step up to the plate to fulfill that commitment. These are times that call for greatness, not for blindly following what has been taught in the past. The past is the foundation for the present but it cannot define the person you were born to become. Only you have the information inside you that defines you. Staying small does not serve you, your purpose or the Planet.

Are you willing to discover that Life Purpose? Are you willing to commit to fulfilling that Purpose once you have it defined for you? Are you ready to show the world that you are here, that you have shown up to be who you came here to be?

Answer ‘yes,’ please. The rest of us have been waiting to say, ‘Welcome!’

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Live Your Greatness!!!

Dear Ones,

Are you ready for there to be changes in the world around you? Have you thought about how flexible you can be with your life? Learning to live in flow with the energy around you is imperative if you are going to move into greatness in your life.

Why do we say ‘greatness’? Because each of you, Dear Ones, is a great human being. Inside you is a magnificence that the world has never seen before and will never see again. That magnificence is YOU. YOU were invited into the Planetary Space by Mother Earth and the Universe. All of the other beings on Earth at this time requested your presence. Everything that has ever happened on Earth has led up to this momentous time so that YOU could be a part of it. The World thanks you for showing up.

Now, have you accepted the magnitude of this? Are you ready and willing to show up in your greatness? Or are you content to play small, hide in the background, just get by?

Everyone around you has the same calling to demonstrate their greatness in the world today. No longer will people be agreeing that they are worthless or sinners or ‘less than’ or undeserving. Each human being must open his or her heart to the energies of Love that are begging to be spread to others. Each human being must learn who they were born to become and then must become that. Every inhabitant of Earth at this time must throw off the shackles of shame and guilt and agree that they are uniquely designed to fulfill a Life Purpose that is theirs alone.

Are you willing? Do you know who you incarnated to be?

Ask yourself if you are so busy doing things, keeping busy but not growing personally and spiritually, so that you can hide your talents until some unspecified future date. Examine your beliefs about yourself and evaluate their source. Did they come from your family? Your school? Your religion? Your country, society, environment, friends? These outer influences are not connected to the source information that is programmed into your own DNA. No one outside of you can live your life for you. No one has the right to limit your greatness.

You have an inner splendor, a brilliant light to shine in the world. You have a mission to fulfill. You have a whole world of people waiting for you to turn on the beacon of that light so that they can see their way to their own inner greatness. When will you shine that light for them?

Get out today and shine some light. Be who you came here to be. Play LARGE. Answer the call that has been echoing in your heart since you were born.

If you are afraid, then face that fear. If you are excited, then do it now. If you need some help determining your Life Purpose, getting rid of limiting beliefs, or letting go of negative thoughts, then get some help. Get help, too, if you feel you cannot disconnect your energy from those who would try to control you.

You are the one who has your mission to fulfill in this lifetime. You are the one who has a Life Purpose that you can choose to live or can choose to ignore. But the rest of the world is counting on you to show up and LIVE. Make the decision to do this today and everything that you need will be given to you. Everything that must happen will fall into place to support you.

Live your richest life today so that others may have your support in living their lives to the fullest.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: The New Consciousness and You

Are you ready for the New Consciousness?  Gratitude and Compassion, based on the concept that we are all connected, that none of us operates on the Planet alone.  It is time for us to step up to this concept and to share it widely.

When you feel you are struggling with life, with certain circumstances or situations, with finances or work or relationships, can you have compassion for yourself and your struggles?  Maybe this is where gratitude starts.  Go gently with yourself in your troubles.  Make sure you are not beating yourself up or judging yourself to be ‘not good enough’ or spending your focus on the ‘why me?’ question.  Start by getting yourself into the energy of compassion toward yourself.  Then start looking for something to feel gratitude about.  Move from compassion to gratitude, even if, at first, you can only feel gratitude for the fact that there is a lesson to be learned in this situation, as there is in every situation.

Stay with gratitude.  Don’t let worry or fear or lack creep into you.  Keep gently bringing your focus back to gratitude.  And I’m not talking here about ‘I’m grateful that I’m not worse off or that I don’t have so-and-so’s problems’ – I’m saying find at least one thing that you can be grateful for in your life today.  Think of one person who loves you. Or one whom you love.  Think of the car you drive or the view outside your window or the rain for the flowers or the smile on your child’s face when they hit the baseball.  It doesn’t have to be something grand and it doesn’t have to be the same kind of thing that you’re upset about or missing.

Bring in the energy of gratitude and you bring in what you desire.  It’s pretty simple.  The converse is true, too.  If you cannot find anything about which to feel grateful, then the Universe has trouble connecting you to things that would elicit that energy in you.

I am sitting in my office in our beautiful home in Colorado Springs watching 13 deer cavort in the yard while the sun shines on newly fallen snow.  I am grateful.  For the deer, for the snow that will put the grass to sleep for the winter with extra moisture, for the sunshine that makes this day a bright one.  I am grateful that I am warm and comfortable inside as I work.  And I will soon be with my grandchildren so I am grateful for that opportunity to be ‘Grandma Mimi.’  And am I sad that I am leaving this home for a move across the country?  Not really.  I feel complete with this house and have released it to the next family to enjoy it. I am grateful for the time that this has been our home and I am ready to move on to the next phase of life.

What can you find to bring you into a state of gratitude?  Look around you in this present moment.  What do you see?  If you have been worrying about paying the bills or finding a job or meeting that perfect someone, can you find something that you DO have in your life about which you can feel gratitude?

Now how does this connect with compassion?  I believe we must come from a place of compassion for ourselves and each other so that we connect these energies in all that we do.  No one is disconnected from the energy of the human community, no matter what we might think or want.  When we start with that understanding then our choices in life become easier.  When we learn to have compassion for ourselves we will become more compassionate members of the human community and will have compassion for others.

Think about Compassion and Gratitude in your life this week.  How can you grow in your understanding of both energies? How can you share these energies with others?  Practice both and watch the Universe say, ‘Good for you!’

MYSTIC MESSAGE: from The Divine Feminine: Gratitude and Compassion – the New Consciousness

Dear Ones,

There is no one among you who has not been touched by another human being.  Nor is there anyone who has not touched another person’s life in a positive way. Even if you cannot think at the moment of someone else whose life you have   touched, they are there.

Did you smile at the mail carrier?  Did you help a lost child find their parent in the grocery store?  Did you put money in a charity collection box?  Did you send a birthday card or a thank you card or a sympathy card?

Every act of kindness that you have ever offered has been a touch of positive energy in another person’s life.  And you, too, have been the recipient of kindnesses from many other people.  Who smiled at you?  Complimented you?  Sent you a birthday card?  Bought you a meal?

It is easy to feel gratitude when you allow yourself to focus on what has come to you in your life.  It is easy to feel compassion when you see another’s need and decide to take what action you can to help alleviate that need.  Both of these energies will be needed during the coming times when every human being on Planet Earth will need help from another and will be called upon to help others.

Take time to connect to the feeling of gratitude when a kindness is extended to you.  Remember that energy of gratitude when you are wishing for something else or some other kindness to come to you.  The energy of gratitude is a great magnet to attract that for which you can feel grateful.  Where many people lose their way is in waiting for something to come into their life before they feel the gratitude.  Feel the gratitude first.  Feel grateful that that which you desire exists in the Universe in the form that is in your highest good and will come to you at the perfect time in the perfect manner.  Stay in gratitude rather than in the feeling of lack or wanting.  Trust that you are taken care of, that you have what you need in this very moment.  Feel gratitude for that circumstance that is bringing you lessons you need to learn for your own personal growth.

Does this mean that you must lie to yourself about your feelings if there is something that you are lacking?  No.  But it is your focus and your emotions that you can control.  Are you focusing your energy on that lack?  Are you feeling angry or sad or worried about the lack?  Then you are not in a receptive energy and the lack will be all that you can see.  But if you shift your focus to this present moment, to what you do have, and feel gratitude for what is going on IN THE PRESENT MOMENT, NO MATTER WHAT IT IS, then you are in the energy of receiving and the Universe can answer that energy by bringing to you that which you desire.

Now take this attitude of gratitude and extend it to helping other people.  If you find compassion in your heart, true compassion and not pity, then you will be led to help others.  Be grateful for the opportunity to help other people.  Be grateful for the chance to share from the abundance that you have in your own life, even if you feel that you lack money or resources or food or the perfect mate or the perfect job.  You are breathing the precious air of Mother Earth.  The Sun is in the sky.  You are reading these words.  Find at least one thing to be grateful for and then give from that place of gratitude for the opportunity to give.

This is true compassion. This is what humanity is being called to experience and to share.  The evolution of human consciousness has reached the point where each individual must decide for himself or herself whether or not they are going to operate from the exquisite energy of gratitude and compassion or to choose to isolate themselves from the connection to other human beings and operate as if they live in a vacuum.

When you are faced with the choice, Dear Ones, please choose compassion.  Be a part of the elevation of human consciousness to higher levels than have been around you before.  Lift yourself as you help others and you will be a bigger beneficiary than the people that you help.

Gratitude begets more opportunities to feel grateful.  Think of this as sending thank you cards to the Universe before the gifts arrive!  And compassion begets compassion.  Give and you shall receive.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Banish the Darkness!

Have things ever looked so bleak that you thought there was no way out of the dark pit you were in?   Were you ever so low that you thought you’d never climb up?

When something happens or circumstances and people and situations seem hopeless we can easily let ourselves focus on nothing but the problems and the darkness that we feel.  It can take a Herculean effort to pull ourselves up out of that pit when the temptation to wallow in the darkness is so great because we just can’t muster the energy it would take to shift.  Or, worse, we don’t even believe that we can make a shift.

Often when we are wrestling with a problem we think that we must continue to focus on that problem, thinking about it, dwelling on it, talking about it, telling the story over and over again.  We begin to frame our life in terms of the problems and we sink more deeply into the darkness.

We can, however, take some action to lift ourselves up out of that darkness.  I’m not talking about sticking our fingers in our ears and saying ‘la-la-la-la-la’ until we can’t hear even our own thoughts, even though at times that can be very tempting.  But we can instead decide not to attach to thoughts of the problems.  If we keep thinking about the problem then we stay in the space where the problem occurs or occurred.  The solutions live elsewhere.  If we attach to the vibration of the darkness brought about by a problem then we cannot see into the Light that illuminates the solution for us.

The first rule here is to realize, ‘I am not my thoughts.’  Say that to yourself right now:  I am not my thoughts.  A corollary to this is: I don’t have to believe everything I think.

Too often we fixate on a thought, especially a thought about a problem, and we find it almost impossible to move our thinking off that point.  But it is never impossible to make that move, although sometimes it feels very difficult.  A slight shift in our thinking helps us to open the darkness a crack and start to see some Light.

Try it the next time you find yourself dwelling on a problem that you face.  Ask yourself what you would rather be thinking about than that problem.  Maybe it’s a person who makes you laugh, or a movie that you saw or a book that you read or music that you enjoy.  Just for a minute, allow yourself to think a different thought.

That’s all it takes to start the shift.  The problem might still be there but you have started the process of opening yourself to finding potential solutions rather than keeping yourself stuck in the problem thoughts.  Then it is possible for you to do the visualization to fill yourself with a colored Light that helps you to shift your vibrational level to a higher one than the level of the problem.  Now you are starting to reach into the dimension where the solutions lie.  Now you can be open to searching for solutions instead of focusing on problems.

We all experience darkness in our lives at times but to banish the darkness we must commit to ourselves that we will seek the Light and avoid attaching to the thoughts that keep us in the darkness.  Make that decision today!
