Excerpted from Ch. 4 of 12 Keys for Life and Self Mastery

We form patterns in our early environments that become our automatic reactions and repeated responses to situations and events throughout our lives. We all have beliefs about the key areas of life: safety, survival, relationships, money, self image, power, entitlement, love, self expression and spirituality. If we are to be truly free to create lives that are the unique manifestation of our individual BEING, then it is essential to identify our real values and release what interferes with openly embracing our own strong, passionately alive consciousness.

Information regarding our internal state is always coming to us in several ways – our physical, emotional and mental faculties are always giving clues about our energy and inner being. In addition, our energy system can offer a great deal of useful data if we take the time to learn how to comprehend it.

We can also stay aware of how the various aspects of the mind communicate with us and blend that into our energetic awareness. The conscious mind is aware of concepts and ideas; the subconscious speaks through feelings or lack of them – the body clearly tells us what is happening in our subconscious mind if we know how to listen. Higher awareness tends to speak through imagery, subtle sensing, or an unmistakable kind of knowing when you sincerely request to know the truth of a matter.

The human energy and chakra system are the vehicles through which we develop and encode our life experience into our cellular memory, so they provide us with a very useful, simple and organized way to look at our values and beliefs as well as with a means to understand how beliefs affect the organization of our energies.

Notice what dominant theme(s) repeatedly comes up for you in your life. Herein lies a clue as to a core belief that is strongly affecting the organization of the people, places, and circumstances of your life. Through collapsing that belief and its attendant mental and emotional features you can be free from the inside out, have more energy and be more open to creating more of what you do want in your life .

12 Keys provides a comprehensive guide to uncovering and releasing troublesome beliefs and opening to higher energies that support, nourish and sustain you in the conscious creation of your life.

Caring: An Energy Crisis? is the topic for our radio show Mon., Feb 8, 2010.

Caring for others often means that you put their needs before your own. You may think that you don’t have time to care for yourself as you care for others. The reality is that you don’t have time not to, since a lack of self care will always lead to a depletion of inner resources. On this show we will discuss techniques you can use to build an inner core of energy so that you can have the core strength and resilience to enable you to be more easily present to life and to others.

This will be our first show on Blog Talk Radio and we would love to have you join us on the phone or on the web.

 “Being a friend to your SELF is no mere metaphor or purely sentimental idea. It is the basis of all relationships, because it is a fundamental recognition of soul.”

Thomas Moore

1. Listen to how you speak to your self

Let go of self bashing, become aware of the voices in your head—the overt and the subtle ones. Commit to shifting to kinder gentler thoughts. Stop self abuse!

 2. Make time for real self care (VS self indulgence).

Begin by discerning what is self indulgent and what is truly caring for yourself. What do you need in terms of basic care? How can you begin to make time for these basic needs to build a strong foundation so you can expand in freedom and expression of your best self?

3. Listen more deeply to your true voice and your real needs

How can you give yourself time and space to listen deeply and acquaint yourself with the real you?

 4. Be compassionate with yourself, you are a work in progress

You are continually learning, growing and developing as a human being whether you are conscious of it or not. Become more conscious and aware can smooth your journey. You can only be where you are at any given moment in time—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.  Start from where you are and be tolerant and patient with your learning curve. Actively work at embracing the feeling of ease with yourself rather than having  it remain  an “idle” thought.

5. Make time for enlivening your soul

What brings you alive? What nourishes you at a deep level? Can you commit to providing time and space to find out and then allowing that to come into your life?

Join us on Monday, Feb. 1, 2010 @ 10 A.M. when we will begin a month focused on care givers and new skills for stress management and compassionate self care in the midst of a busy and demanding life.

World of  Subtle Energy Provides New Tools for Self Care

We all sense subtle energy, although we may not always realize it. People called clairvoyants are especially gifted with the ability to see subtle energy. And while it appears to be innate in them, the truth is we all possess this ability. It can be developed by anyone who takes the time to learn the skills necessary and to practice them.

 Most of us may not see subtle energy, but we do sense its existence and respond to it on a daily basis. Much of our language even speaks to our unconscious experience of energetic states and events. Think about: “I feel blue,” “My heart is heavy,” “I feel so empty,” “It’s like I’ve been knifed in the back,” “I feel so full of joy,” “My heart is glad.” These are statements that are actually descriptive of your energy at that moment.

 Biofeedback instruments show that the person who reports feeling blue is, in fact, emitting the frequency of energy our eye sees as blue. The person who reports feeling heavy or sad in the heart is actually experiencing a lower frequency of energy – one which is slower than that of joy or happiness. That person may also be experiencing a constriction of the flow of energy through the heart chakra area.

 Feelings Inform About Energy States

Emptiness is depletion or lack of energy; joy is a fullness of lighter, faster moving energy, and the knife in the back can be an experience of negative thought or emotional energy directed toward that person by another. When you understand the dynamics of energy, you have a deeper perspective and more options available to work with your whole being – thoughts, feelings, sensations and beliefs – in order to shift out of negative states more quickly. In addition, being able to sense and manage your subtle energy allows you to maximize your efforts to create change and attract new possibilities into your life.

  Most people wait for time or external circumstances to change for relief or resolution of their issues. Unfortunately this leaves you in a disempowered position AND it does nothing to erase the effect the negative emotion has on your system. Although a person may feel that the problem or emotional state has disappeared, what more typically happens is that it has been driven deeper into the system so that it is out of awareness but not necessarily out of range of affecting your future experience. To work on an energetic level with the totality of you – your mind, body and spirit – is a major step on the road to empowerment and one that goes beyond learning new ways to simply THINK about things. It helps remove obstacles to true emotional freedom and affords greater access to higher level functions such as creativity, intuition and spirituality.
