Everything is Perfect!

There was a Mind, Body & Soul event locally and I organised a workshop on Meditation.  I also offered tasters of Spiritual Response Therapy which most people have not heard of and don’t understand how life changing it is; clearing “blocks” and “negativity” in a client’s Soul records.

I sat in a corner of the stage amongst colleagues offering tarot readings.  It was a very hot day and there weren’t people at the event but most of the tarot readers had clients.  Luckily someone I already knew came to me for a “clearing of energies”, but no-one new.  I trusted that everything was “perfect” and was very grateful to receive guidance from a tarot reader as we chatted! 

Then I announced that there was going to be a meditation workshop in another room.  Two ladies that I hadn’t met before joined me and one of them said how she had enjoyed the meditation and wished to find a local meditation group.  Two weeks later she joined my weekly meditation class.

She was a single unemployed mum of two children and had been experiencing a struggle with her next door neighbour who was creating a lot of noise and disturbance. During the meditation she received an amazing gift of her animal guide, who gave her inner guidance. It was an Elephant, who can teach us that gentleness, commitment, and communication in relationships is very powerful and necessary to keep relationships alive, trusting and loving, whether it be friends, family or partner.  They are the embodiment of strength and power.

She returned the following week and said that her attitude had changed, so when her neighbour made a noise, she turned up her own music and sang loudly, blotting out the disturbance from next door.  She had got in touch with her inner strength and power and had communicated with her neighbours that their noise was unacceptable.  She felt back in “control” and had informed the local council who were going to deal with it. I don’t believe in coincidence and it turned out that one of the other members of the group happens to work for the local council and gave her even more advice on how to handle the situation!   I explained that  things just work out in ways that amaze us, even when it looks like nothing is happening or the Universe is sitting on its hands while our life is falling apart, everything is working perfectly.

Her intention of finding a meditation group and of a solution to her situation was powerful and started the process of creating miracles.  We aren't always aware of the best and most wonderful way things can happen. Sometimes it seems like the Universe is working against us but it’s really creating the best solution for us. That's why it is important to release all attachments to outcomes and know that it is our intention, fuelled by our willingness to believe, have faith and trust in the Universe, that allows the outcome will be exactly what we ask for and it all works out, often in amazing and surprising ways.  She’s now put out her intention of the perfect job…. I’ll keep you posted!

Fear

I have blogged before about the fact that my family has two dogs.  Bella is a Doberman and Vito is a large Yorkshire terrier.  Bella has her name because she is “beautiful” inside and out , but she’s very much a typical dog- she loves digging holes, chewing bones, playing and most importantly, eating. Vito has his name after the “Godfather” and he believes he’s in charge!

When my man said that he wanted a “guard” dog and a Doberman would be best, I shook my head and said I preferred a docile, intelligent chocolate Labrador.  Yet he insisted and rang me a few weeks later to say that he was at a breeder with our youngest son and there was a lovely litter of Doberman’s.  He was so intent on this breed that I relented and went to visit the breeder with our son a week later. 

At the top of the stairs there was a scramble of puppies all climbing over each other to meet me and bite the furry waistcoat I was wearing!  Yet one of them sat up very very straight as if to say “I’m a good girl” and that was the one my heart reached out to. 

We collected her when she was ready to leave her mother and Bella joined our family.  Having never lived with a Doberman before I had no idea how loving she would be and how close she liked to snuggle into you.  I completely fell over heels in love with her. 

She was very jealous of our other dog and several times she would grab him by the scruff of his neck and “rag” him, which was very scary to experience and we had to discipline her until she understood that this was unacceptable behaviour.  There was plenty of love to go round and there was no need for jealousy.

We took her for training as she became aggressive when meeting other dogs and this was fine whilst she was with the trainer, but when I took her out she continued to “protect” me and was aggressive to other dogs.  But at least the training helped her ignore joggers, cyclists and other walkers.

I relied on my man to walk her until recently when the responsibility became mine.  What had she come to teach me?  To face my fear.  Fear of not being able to control her aggressiveness and fear of many other things in my life.

 

Each morning I wake up with the knowledge that I have to take them out and every day I have to face my fears.  I take full responsibility by keeping Bella on the lead and putting a muzzle on her.  I keep alert and when seeing other dog walkers, I steer her into a different direction.  Each day is getting easier.  Slowly I am taking back control of my life and Bella is teaching me how.

Inspiration

Peter Andre is my inspiration for how he conducted himself in his split from his wife Katie Price.  His family devotion to his brothers, parents and children, including Katie’s first child, Harvey, is totally admirable and he’s just won the award for “best Dad” for the 2^nd year!

  

He knew that his marriage to Katie needed to be released, although it caused great pain and has taken him 2 years to feel “himself” again with the enormous support of his brother, family and management team.

The spiritual principle of surrender, which is letting go, is not the same as giving up and feeling defeated, which is what many clients feel when they have to continue to let go, long past the point where they are comfortable with the process. And they turn that into a process of stripping away everything from their life until they have nothing left. Then they wonder what they can possibly let go of because they don't have anything left. Now the real work can begin.

One client has been struggling to keep his marriage for the last 10 months and it has been very difficult. Then a few weeks ago we talked about allowing the marriage to end. As soon as he decided to let the marriage go he felt a huge weight lift from his shoulders. Then came a sense of freedom and joy, as opportunities for change that were not possible even a week before, began to appear.

We cannot let go of everything until we understand our attachments from the level of our beliefs, what we think about ourselves and what we think others will think of us. Wherever we resist release there are strong beliefs that are asking to be released. We see this in a material way but the real issue is energetic. How much of ourselves is centered or invested in that? What does letting go mean to our belief system? How do we feel about ourselves after that is done? What new beliefs do we need to create to not feel that we have lost everything and instead, gained our spiritual and emotional freedom, when we let go? These are questions to ponder now after the eclipse on 1^st July, as we let go until we can surrender to a new life and manifest the promise of the future.
