FINDING BALANCE

A REMINDER

Leading a balanced life means finding a way to enjoy your hobbies, family life, work and your inner spiritual needs.  This is a never-ending process that requires you to re-assess your values, priorities, and personal growth.  Often times it means learning from your mistakes and learning how to flow with a new mindset.

Finding balance involves your Internal vs External needs, knowing the difference between them and addressing each of them separately.

External Balance refers to:

Work:

  • Work goals, enjoyment, work relationships and time spent doing work.
  • Saying “NO” without regret is important for your work balance. Trim where you can, delegate others to help you and use technology like Business Apps to help you organize your work load.
  • Turn it off “Disconnect” on days you are not working or hours before bedtime.

Friendships:

  • Nurturing, satisfying and socializing are important to finding balanced work friendships.
  • Reflect each day on how you are experiencing them.
  • Journaling can help reveal work-life patterns that may need to be adjusted.
  • When is the last time you had a deep moving conversation with your friends, partner or family?

Internal Balance refers to:

Mind

  • Keep your thought process positive.
  • Meditate to silence and ground yourself, there are many ways to stop and focus inward each day.
  • Spend time alone from the hustle & bustle of daily life.

Health

  • Insert physical activities into your day. Even a short walk helps.
  • Add Joy or fun to an activity. This helps release endorphins, serotonin and dopamine.
  • Develop healthy eating habits
  • Explore your world – travel

Emotions

  • Prioritize “Me Time” say yes to yourself without resentment.
  • Turn off social media and Tune In.
  • Allow all emotions to flow in & out of yourself without judgement.
  • Treat Yourself
  • Expand your awareness of all things, be a avid student in search of knowledge.

Creating balance in life is knowing what is important to you and what is not. Creating a well-balanced life is crucial for your health, happiness and well being so that you can live your best life!

The Power of knowing the “Why”

Motives drive our intentions and so it is only logical that the two are fused by design. It’s great to have goals, dreams or aspirations to move us forward on our journey but it is more powerful and important to know the “Why”. The “Why” brings clarity and is the key to fulfillment. The “Why” is our thread to our subconscious, the root to going within. Why do we think this way? act this way? desire this or need that? These questions bring us closer to knowing who we really are and they become the basis to the values and morals we set up as our individuality.

Now is a great time for introspection. When you ask yourself, why am I feeling like this? saying that? or being triggered by something or someone else? the answers may be surprising and self healing as to what they tell you about yourself.

Developing clear motives will help you define your path and life experiences. Knowing when and why to think, feel and act will be like a magnet for miracles to happen. Clearly defined motives driving your intentions is the Law of Attraction that will create the potential for growth in your life.

In the end life is all about being loved. A deeper understanding of your needs could be your next miracle. The “Why” is the buried treasure within you and it’s time to do a little digging. The “Why” will bring you closer to the happiness you seek!

In Unity while uncovering deep truths,

Write On!

Today my writing prompt said “What do you want to be when you get older & why?”

Well, I’m pushing the 60 + age group and I’m still wondering about who I want to be when I get older. That should tell you something about who I am. I believe we are living in a constant state of learning. The key is to stay open and flexible to all life brings towards you, after all there are teachable moments in those times. Who I want to be is a greater, wiser, lovelier, kinder person. I want to be the face of wisdom, the rock of Gibraltar, the mother of compassion. All I have to figure out is when will I recognize that I am old. What is the age or time that speaks STOP your old now! Will it be when my body gives out, when the ambulance is called or when my children no longer come to see me? I really don’t know, but until that time I will continue on my hero’s journey of self discovery and pick the flowers, turn over the rocks, bath in the Lake and close my eyes so my ears can hear the waterfall.  I will remember to write again on my 140th birthday and let you know how I made out. 

Sincerely,

Jacqueline

7 STEPS OF AWAKENING

This article is an amalgamation of information from my own personal journey and from an article I read on the Center for Creative Consciousness by Jonette Crowley.

Steps:

  1. The Urge/The Call: This is where you come to understand there is more happening out there then meets the eye. Sometimes it is triggered by a crisis or stress but it is a moment you begin to question everything around you. “Who am I” is an urge you are compelled to explore.
  2. Research: You begin doing research doubting what you have been taught. Time is put in to collecting information, reading, analyzing and developing questions. New ideas and beliefs are introduced in regards to the Political, Educational, Financial/Economic, Health Care and Religious systems we have here on Earth. This can be unsettling to others close to you as they begin to hear about your theories.
  3. The Mirror: This step can be broken down into 2 different areas as you search yourself for answers. Mentally and Emotionally. Mentally you become disillusioned by the world and others who may not choose to question their world but desire the status Quo. You find yourself pulling away from family & friends feeling lonely and isolated at times. This is a time to get rid of limited thoughts and negative belief patterns. An example of a limited thought would be, when you put God in a box and surround him by religious dogma that says only priests can pray for you. You alone can have a personal relationship with God, without anyone else’s permission. Go ahead ask him for help! As for negative beliefs, you are the creator of your own life. You are a divine, sovereign being, anything less is not in your best interest. Do not let fear, control or manipulation from anyone interfere with the decisions you make that benefit you and your family. My saying has always been, Positive mind = Positive thoughts = Positive Life! What we think, we become, so think great things about yourself. Self care activities at this time would include meditation, journaling, connecting with nature, connecting with other realms for guidance (Angelic, spirit guides, ancestors…), listening to music. Be truthful with yourself as you insert space to be with your thoughts. Emotionally you begin the “Dark night of the Soul” also known as “Shadow work” where you emotionally purge all that does not resonate with you. Past traumas surface to be looked at, acknowledged and let go. This is a time where the sense of self and Ego are at odds. Ultimately the Ego must surrender! Physical symptoms may appear during this process. Let it go – Let it flow! Healing follows. Be active with self care like exercise, yoga, walking in nature, Breatharian works and creative hobbies. This is the time where you need to surrender in order to move forward in your awakening process.
  4. New Beliefs: Based on all your research and questioning you develop new beliefs or strengthen those that resonate with you. You try to reorganize your life by seeking confirmation that you are on the right path. You begin to understand your connection to others and you seek spiritual alignment. A balance between your mind/body/spirit emerges. Energy, vibration and frequency begin to show up as synchronicities, coincidences and manifestations. You begin to open up to the possibility that the universe hears and is responding to you.
  5. Perceptual Shift: Self acceptance and self love increases as you realize you are not alone. Connecting with others of like-mindedness helps to ground you. Your faith is ever increasing and your fear is almost non-existent. You now realize that no one person has all the answers, you just have to find those that work for you! You begin to have a more Universal view of life with cosmic connections.
  6. Self Realization: Reference is inward not outward. You have all the answers you seek. You know you are divinely made and that you are the creator of your life. As you step into your role, mission or purpose, you are allowing the flow of life to guide you. Acting with compassion, forgiveness and unconditional love are the three most important parts of your continued spiritual evolution.

As you work through these steps of awakening there is always “THE QUANTUM STILL POINT”. This is an inward place at the center of your being where you can move towards at any time. A grounding center. It is your home, your sanctuary.

7. Awakening: You are here when you feel you are in the process of spiritual enlightenment. You believe you are a multidimensional person, with a consciousness that is ever expanding. Your desire is to serve others and heal the world. You are awakened to the world around you and still seek peace and unity for Humanity! You know who you are and you desire all life move forward in a positive way.

The Presence of the Divine

There is a force that runs through everything. An energy flowing throughout the cosmos, breathing into each and every moment. There is an unseen flow to our experience and it is ready to ignite the force within you!

Within the darkness of our universe this energy flows onto each planet, to each star and through the plasma of our sun. Light particles bring forth this energy to earth by sun rays, felt on the face lifted up in gratitude. The warmth of this energy can be felt as it touches your skin and goes deep within. Frequency and vibrations attach to your DNA, changing you at the core of your being. A new human, strong, capable, loved by the divine.

The presence of the divine, is a gentle energy, like a soft blanket cuddling you, even as you read this. Your body fills with this energy giving you life. Feel it in your fingertips, your toes, in the beating of your heart. Your creator calls for connection. Your soul remembers and responds. It is time to acknowledge, heal and move forward in a new way.

This is a time to feel good about yourself and how far you have come on your life journey. It is also a time to explore where you want to go and what your future life looks like. What will you do next? or what will you create next?

The presence of the divine in you, once acknowledged and or remembered helps you shift your life, your future. As you create the world around you shifts.

Once you remember who you are, ( a divine being in a human vessel ), you will be able to start the healing process. Higher vibrational energy will clear a path to reconnection of any and all dis-ease within you. With some diet adjustments, possibly some plant energy food, pure water intake and a positive focus, you will be able to see, experience and do many things you thought impossible. Limitations will be released, chains that once bound you will be released. Your limitations are related to the vibration you carry. Change your vibrations and you change everything that you experience!

This journey is about rising up, meeting challenges that you face on a daily basis. This journey is about becoming your higher selves. It has never been about changing scenery, getting rid of the bad people or about leaving everything behind to find a better life. This journey is about the presence of the divine within YOU! You are the shift in consciousness, you are the saviour. It begins and ends with you, and it is your destiny to complete it!

As we teeter on the edge of creating a NEW YOU, my question is; are you going with the flow of energy, connecting, acknowledging, balancing and releasing what does not serve you? or are you kicking and screaming with resistance because you fear change?

What is a spiritual awakening?

No one person can fully define a spiritual awakening because it is different for everyone, although there are commonalities that occur.

It starts when you realize there is a dimension of yourself beyond your ego or personality. It is the moment you allow your higher self or spirit to guide you. The spiritual awakening is a lifelong journey.

To awaken is to know yourself fully. The real you. The one created, perfect, whole who is loving and divine. Knowing you are a being of love is to trust that love is creative. Trust is an essential aspect of your spiritual journey. To awaken is to learn you are energy. A unified field of mind, body, spirit energy vibrating.

You are living in an ocean of energy that scientists are proving are governed by the law of vibration. Our thoughts can alter the properties of things around us. Dr. Masaru Emoto’s book “The hidden messages in water” explain that human consciousness has an effect on the molecular structure of water. You are 70-80% water. When you were born you were 99% as a fetus, 90% as a baby and it decreases as we age. Water serves as the transporter of energy throughout your body.

If vibrations of frequencies like music and emotions have the power to change the structure of water, how powerful are our thoughts? What we think can have profound effects inside and around us.

To awaken is to know, (not believe which implies hope which implies doubt) there is a divine unseen, energetic field of love that surrounds you. The intensity of awakening varies from quiet, calm periods to chaotic intense periods of change. It is important to honour this ebb and flow of transformation.

To awaken is to know everything else is an illusion to keep you in fear.

Do not fear!

“The Universe does not hear what your saying,

it feels the vibration you are offering”
