1. Be aware of your energy. The more familiar you are with how you mange and shape your energy the more you can be in charge of what happens and your responses to events and people. During an interaction feel the energy in your body.  If there is something that feels unpleasant, especially re: a power issue, you can place your hand over your solar plexus, your midriff, and say “you have no power here now.”

2. If you are aware that you have been attached to through energy cords, use imagery to detach them. Gently extricate them and send them lovingly back to the one who “corded in”. Also intend to gently and with care return your energy to the place the cord was released from. Return to your center.

3. Create strong healthy boundaries through your energy filed and refuse to engage. (It takes more than one.)

4. Know that you have a choice. Become mindful, present to the moment and calmly choose your response– which can be to not engage.

5. Make it a practice to get quiet, work with your mind power, center and ground your energy via your breath.

6. Keep your energy strong through making it a habit to frequently intentionally flow strong, vibrant energy through your body, filling in any empty spots and smoothly out any irregularities.

7. If someone habitually drains your energy, intentionally (and wordlessly) flow energy toward their feet, in your mind say “ you can do this for yourself”.

Here is a link to an excellent piece by Daniel Pinchbeck on the oil spill, our transitional times, opportunities and challenges, as well as some great comments on our power and collective transformation. 

It is long but very thought provoking, eye opening, scary and hopeful if you read all the way to the last two paragraphs! Lots of food for thought in the comment section as well. What do YOU think?

 False Evidence Appearing Real

 FEAR! False? Not real?

 How can we say that?

Everyone knows we all feel fear and it’s real!

What this acronym hints at is that there is a lot of fear that is unnecessary….perhaps most!

According to Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now, fear is always a projection of something that might happen, not something that is happening now.  When we let our mind wander into the future, we create an anxiety gap between what is real and what we are projecting to be real.  The future is not real.  Only the present is real.

 Fear is a psychological condition that is separate and separates us from who we really are.  It comes in many forms such as nervousness, unease, worry, dread, anxiety and more.  If we allow it, fear can grip us so tight that we lose touch with our inner and true self.  Fear separates us from our true power and our inner source.

 Fear manifests in our minds through our ego self.  When we identify with our lower mind, the ego runs our life.  When we let fear take over, we yield our personal power to others.  When we identify with our heart, we can become the creator of our lives.  There is no place for fear in the heart.  When it comes down to it, fear is not real. 

 Although fear may seem to have many causes…stay tuned, more to follow on Thurs. re: the causes as well as the antidotes for fear.

Energy is your personal power. When you allow others to control you, when you attempt to control them, when you cannot forgive, or when you focus more on the needs of others and sacrifice your own, you are giving your power away.

 “Where attention goes, energy flows.”

 Unresolved issues from the past bind energy that could be flowing through your life! Fear of the future dissipates energy that could be filling you with joy! Bringing your energy into the present allows you to create the life you love to live.

What is your typical habit of mind?

Where is your energy focused?

Do you focus on your  strengths or your weakness?

Are you focused on what is right or on what is wrong?

Are you focused in the present?

Through focusing on (feeling) what is strong, right, present and flowing we can bring power to what we would most like to change. Doing the opposite weakens and drains energy so there is nothing to bring to creating more of what you DO want!

In the last post we talked about power VS force, consciousness and what  personal power means to each individual.

Here are some questions that can help you begin to shift your sense of  personal power throughout the day and become more in charge of your life experience.

 What is your predominant emotional tone?

 Do you check in periodically with yourself and note  how you are feeling and what your energy level is?

 Is your breathing full and easy, bringing in lots of oxygen and energy?

 How are you feeling in general?

 How do different daily situations affect you?

 Which ones generate stress, anger, sadness, frustration?

Do you take time to identify and release difficult feelings, thoughts, physical tensions from your system?

 Can you take time and create a space between a stressful event and your reaction? Would you like to be more responsive and less reactive?

 Most of us need to practice becoming more aware of what is happening inside and discovering and practicing ways to release stress from our systems. The choice to do so is a huge step toward claiming our power to create lives we love to live.

 A key concept in learning to live from the inside out using energy and consciousness is understanding the difference between personal power and force. Personal power means different things to different people and even different things to the same person, depending on many factors, including: life stage, level of consciousness, personal experience and predominate belief system.

 When you hear the words “personal power, “what comes to your mind? When we have asked that question in our classes we hear responses like:

1.  Presence
2.  Balance
3.  Choice
4.  Being present
5.  Knowing
6.  Happiness
7.  Inner Peace

 These answers bring up another question for exploration: does personal power come from having these feelings or are these feelings an outgrowth of embodying the essence of personal power in your core?

Once you answer the previous post’s questions re: creativity, you may want to take a deeper look at how you can approach life with more creative awareness. Reflect upon these more specific questions to gain a deeper insight into your patterns.

 What is necessary to bring a creative style to your life and to cultivate it?

 Do you have a space of your own where you nurture your creative nature and drive? How can you create one?

 Do you have the physical energy to fuel and birth your creative output? If not, what needs to happen to build that energy?

 Do you have the emotional energy – the passion – to fuel and develop your creativity? What needs to happen so this can develop?

 Do you take the time to nurture your soul, the place where creativity originates? How can you decide to change this and make time to breathe soul into your life?

Shift now, avoid the rush!

 Using tools that clear, balance and strengthen your personal energy will help ensure that your energetic requests are ones that you want to show up in your life.

 In spite of having a great deal of knowledge regarding the topic of conscious creation, many people still have difficulty making the process work for them. This can lead to discouragement or to abandonment of the process altogether.

One reason for the difficulties in learning how to consciously create is that navigating the inner landscape and the world of energy requires different attitudes, approaches, and tools than does navigating the exterior world. Another is that it generally takes time to learn and integrate new ways of being. It is possible to have huge shifts in no time at all, but most of us will probably need some degree of persistence, patience and perseverance as we adopt new attitudes, methods and world views. It took time to form the patterns you now have, so it may take time to shift into new patterns and frequencies and sustain them. Soon enough the new patterns and frequencies will become Self reinforcing, especially if you adopt a light playful attitude.

 The specific approaches we cover in Session 5 of 12 Keys to Life and Self Mastery help you to move beyond some of the common pitfalls to co-creating in your life.

 You will learn how to:

• Effectively affirm and support your truest desires
• Identify the hidden dynamics that block your desires
• Set intentions that universal energy can readily respond to
• Discern between willingness and willpower; shift to ease in creation
