Are you afraid
to change? Sometimes
we are so stuck in our life's process that we don't know that we are
stuck. When this is happening, we often wonder why the same
thing keeps happening, over and over. You know, sort of like
Bill Murray in 'Groundhog Day,' being trapped in a time warp.
In most instances, we have not learned how to approach change
differently; we do the same thing hoping for a different result.
One thing we might consider... If the past is in charge, we are not
going anywhere nor are we making room for the change we seek.
When we allow ourselves to remain stuck, it is similar to being
exiled from a life of growth and choice. If you do nothing
different, everything repeats itself as if it is the first time it
happened. Having said that, if you can change even one thing,
that movement alone will create a ripple that will change the
eventual outcome. If you are stuck, make a solid commitment to
change something important to you! During your 'change
process,' move things around in every place you can. Don't sit
in the same chair; move art and/or home decor around; drive a
different way to your favorite grocery store; freshen up some of the
colors that are around you. It will be most important to make
changes in your bedroom. Do what you can to make an entirely
different flow in the bedroom; this is the place you rest your body,
and where you are most vulurnable. From this single place we
may be slipping out of body to grow spiritually. This is most
often where we are when our spirit guides, or teachers, come and
stand with us while teaching us.
If you keep asking for different things,
and if you do nothing to make changes... The God of your
understanding and/or the Universe might perceive that
you like things just the way they are. Don't let fear, or
complacency, rob you of a better life!

Clue #1 What
a long journey it must have been! |
|
|
|
|
|
It is not enough to stop saying the negative
things in your life;
you must also say positive
things about your life. We must be willing to look back and
embrace the components of who we have been, whether good or bad. We
must face each dark shadow and embellish every illuminated
experience. Whatever is in
our past, we are not that person now. We must mesh knowledge and
experience into this phase of our journey.

Take
some time to look at behavioral issues you don't understand.
In some situations what appears to
be a mysterious issue in our life, could turn out to be a well
orchestrated 'soul contract,' or a 'past-life carryover.'
It is true that we should live in the
present and we are the sum total of all things we have been.
Sometimes the ability to bring it all together, to reach the highest
and best good of this lifetime, hinges on the discovery of something
in our past.
A
recent client came to me after having a panic attack that sent her
to the emergency room. There had been other similar events,
but it would seem that this was the one that would get her
attention. Her doctor told her she might not be able to work
again. During our conversation I found out that she had been
on an overseas flight when she suffered another attack. Her
panic was so profound that she wanted to open a door, or window, to
get some air. I can only imagine how horrible this was for
her.
Each
situation will be a little bit different, and yours might not have
this type of answer. As it turned out, this was a full blown
case of past life carry-over. She had brought a situation into
this lifetime in order to deal with, and finally remove,
extraordinary fear and pain. As I sat with her I began to see
a past life where she was a young girl that had been buried alive.
There are many incredible details, but the bottom line was that the
knowledge would be what would set her free. This will not be
the answer for many situations, but it was for her. She had
done the right thing by seeing a doctor and pursuing medical
treatment. In this case, there was more to the story...

Sometimes
we hear someone referred to
as an "old soul."
You
might even feel that way
yourself! Here are
some thoughts that might
help us understand what this
might mean, or what it might
feel like.
For those of us that feel we
have traveled, and made this
trip of life many times; we
are very often
good listeners.
We don't usually become
vested in the problems we
hear, but have the ability
to help others make
effective changes. We
have gone through this
process many times
ourselves, and as a result
have fine tuned our gut
instincts. We have
learned to
trust our gut instincts.
During this process of
traveling thru life, we
reach a stage where we just
feel old. No matter
what our chronological age
is,
we feel old;
no matter how young at heart
we are, we feel old.
Perhaps as a child you had
some trouble adjusting to
society, or just fitting in
with others - or even
working well with our
parents. Others might
have thought of you as a
maladjusted child.
While growing up, you
probably appreciated 'good
things,' and you may have
even enjoyed your own
attachment to those name
brands. Having said
this, you find yourself
caring more for quality than
quantity. You are just
not a materialistic person.
You cry, and grieve like
everyone else, but you
see the bigger picture
in all things, and you don't
fall apart easily. At this
juncture of life, you
are thankful
for almost everything, and
walk in gratitude!
You may seem withdrawn as
you
see the deeper connection of
life.
Your mind is busy thinking
thru ways to help make
changes at a very large
scale. You will
appreciate different
religious belief systems,
but find yourself to be
very spiritual.
Your belief rises above
organized religions, yet
allows you to appreciate
what others think, and feel.
You probably believe that no
belief system gives us the
right to hurt, harm or
control others. You
see that at our core, we are
more 'alike' than
'different.'
You probably believe that
knowledge
is what sets us free;
wisdom
is gained from countless
encounters with every aspect
of humanity;
truth and love
is the spirit that binds
each of us to everything
else. As an old soul
we enjoy people, places, and
things, but often
feel alone
with others. Even
so...there
is a peace and calm that is
within our very core!
Are you an old soul? |
