Grasping For Life

A short distance down the road on my spiritual journey this glove caught my eye. I immediately thought, “grasping for life.”
Grasping for Life

Embrace Your Passion

I embrace my passion and I imagine and feel my passion embracing me. We dance, sing and create the life we love. My passion is in partnership with my heart. Together they are powerful. Beauty springs up before us as we share what we love with the world. All aspects of myself come into harmony.

Invite Your Demons to Dinner

There are times when you feel there so much inner turmoil and stress you really must be crazy. Believe it or not the universe has planned times like this so that you can go deeper within yourself and face your demons. Huh? My demons? Yes, your demons are those beliefs and images that don’t serve you. They are beliefs from the past that you are hanging onto as the only truth.

The challenge is to step into the fire and walk out the other side. It means staying in touch with yourself and your feelings. It doesn’t mean you have to writhe in pain on the floor. You may do that some. You may feel sorrow and loss. This is the time to see what beliefs are behind the pain.

If you lost a relationship are you holding onto the pain? There isn’t one answer here for everyone. You have to find your answer within yourself. Maybe this is a time of transformation to strength the relationship. Maybe you are making space for someone who is a better fit for you. What you need to do now is know that you are ok, you are loved, and there is unlimited good for you. You didn’t lose the only person you could ever love. How can you love yourself better?

Don’t avoid this process by numbing with alcohol, food, or jumping into another relationship immediately. The issues will just continue to re-surface. You won’t grow beyond the current issues until you walk through this fire. Be true to yourself. Be committed to yourself. Be willing to disappoint another to take care of yourself.

I have attached a video from Tom Lescher, an astrologer from Hawaii. He explains the current atmospheric energies well.

This is a great time to receive extra support. Contact me for an appointment.

CHOICES

We all have to make them. Most of our daily choices are simple. Get out of bed, get dressed. Getting dressed can present choice challenges. I’m a woman, it’s not always simple. I try to keep getting dressed simple. Let me expand that to say it’s not hard to choose if I want to get dressed or not. It’s the choice of what do I feel like wearing. What am I doing? What feels good? Many times I would like to have more to choose from.

 

When choices feel challenging, what’s the real issue? It’s the black and white issue, the right or wrong issue. Life just is rarely that clean. Haven’t you ever made one choice, then all of a sudden the thing you didn’t choose looks better. Damn. Now sometimes you can find ways to have both. I like that. I know most of you do to. We find ways, excuses. For example when you are with someone else and you order dessert. Sometimes you are willing to order different things and share. Yea, and that doesn’t always work out now does it.

 

So what is it really? I’m taking this way to seriously. Good ol school training maybe. There’s only one right answer. I guess we can add religious training in there, that’s a big one. We all want to be the one’s that got it right. Especially when our consequences are hell. That makes choosing a hot topic. Yea, sorry.

 

OK, so I’m taking a deep breath. I’m going to laugh at myself now. Yea, go ahead, laugh at yourself also. OMG sometimes I just go off the deep end and actually believe what they taught me in school, life is a test. Sometimes there are multiple choice questions, fill in the blank and essay’s. Thank god for extra credit work.

 

As it turns out, life is just a series of choices. Sometimes my choices feel difficult because I just make them that way. Because even I don’t really trust I can have something better if what I currently have isn’t really fitting well. Let’s face it, even if you know in your heart it’s the best choice you need to make, it’s not black and white. It still hurts. Why? Because I haven’t jumped in with both feet. I’m looking back. I’m dragging my feet. I’m staying entangled just in case I want to change my mind. Because there was still good stuff back there. But, was it enough? Did I try my best? Yes, I did. I enjoyed the good stuff. I can have more. I know I can. I may have to wait a bit and make a few more choices. Like Goldilocks sitting in the different chairs, tasting the different bowls of porridge and beds. Finally finding what feels like a good fit. Even then, after a good snooze she was frightened out of a comfortable situation. She had to make another choice. Sometimes I need a poke or prode to make those choices. Can you relate?

 

I’m making a cleaner choice today. I have my head faced forward and I know I now have room for something that feels good. When I find myself looking back, which I know might just happen. I’m going to turn around and around and dance. I’m going to dance and do those things that make me feel good. I did my best back there. I’m going to create something even better today.

 

In Love and Joy,

Susan

 

 

A fine line.

There’s a fine line between fear and excitement. You feel your heart racing and you can barely breath. This is the time to make a conscious effort to breath and feel the earth. Bring awareness into your body so you stay grounded. The energy of creation is pumping.

Keep focused on the positive. As your energy expands you will bump up against old beliefs and patterns. Don’t go there. You’ll see them and feel them, but just wave and keep going. Keep reaching for joy by laughing with friends, recognizing all you have to be grateful for, and loving yourself. Be good to you. Know the universe is now supporting you in realizing your dreams. Step by step. Allow it in.

Take quiet time to feel and be with this energy. Just notice it. It’s just energy. It can’t harm you. You will create what you focus on, so keep your attention on the positive.

In Love,
Susan

Irritants

An irritant can be transformed into a pearl.  If an oyster can do it, so can I.

Sometimes all we know is that something or someone is irritating us.  We instinctively move to get rid of it by moving away or attacking.  Flight or fight.

An oyster deals with a grain of sand by taking that grain and creating something beautiful.  So the question is how can I transform this irritation into something beautiful?

We can start by asking why is it irritating me?  The initial response is usually finger pointing in the other direction.  We look outside ourselves and blame the other.  We’re human, we tend to do that.  We’ve been trained to do that.  After that let’s turn it around and look within ourselves.  Let’s take responsibility.

This isn’t a black and white world where one size fit’s all.  There’s no rule here on exactly how you need to handle the situation.

For example if the stove is hot move your hand.  If someone is beating you up, get the hell out of there.  There is a whole world full of people.  You don’t have to live with one that doesn’t treat you the way you want to be treated.  The way to the pearl sometimes means you need to leave.  The oyster doesn’t have that option so it creates a substance that smooths the roughness.

How can I smooth the roughness in my situation?  What would feel better? Change most often feels like stepping into a void.  It can feel empty at first and scary.  We have to make a conscious effort to recognize that what is really here is potential.  The void is fertile ground for creation.

It is important to focus on the wonderful potential you have to create.  That irritation was just the motivator you needed to realize you want to create something better.  What is that?  As you ask yourself this question you are inviting the universe to answer.  As you step into the void of unknown you are creating a vacuum to be filled.

Have a beautiful day.

Relationships

People play roles in our lives, they are actors and we have given them a script. They serve a purpose in our journey.

They may reflect something back that you are thinking or feeling about yourself or a belief you’ve energized.

They may share supportive knowledge, wisdom, or insight with you.

They may set something in motion to support you on your journey.

The link below is the wonderful poem based on this topic set to music and pictures.

People come into your life for a reason.

Robert Scheinfeld’s book Busting Loose from The Money Game is so much more than about money. It really is about your relationship to yourself and seeing the illusion of life for the truth of what it is. It helps you to re-claim your power from the illusion.

Claim Your Power

I have read numerous books on creation. This one makes the most sense to me. His method feels like it covers the whole spectrum. It goes deeper than think and so it shall be, or write it down and make it happen. This is about training yourself to see the illusion of life as an illusion. It's about working through your beliefs and images. You aren't sweeping them under a rug and using a lot of energy to hold them down. You are inviting them up. This isn't for the weak. Be ready to commit yourself. Trust that your higher self won't give you any more than you can handle.

Stifled by Perfection

Here I go again, peeling the onion, so to speak. The onion being ME and my spiritual path. My journey in this life.

Perfection. Ugh. We can get caught in it like a web. Wound so tight that we can’t move for fear that we won’t get it right or it will be messy. What is it? Anything you may hold dear. The closer it is to your heart the tighter you may hold it.

How do you get yourself to move? Give yourself permission to make a mess. Give yourself permission to do it wrong? But do it.

Here’s one of my examples. It was an “ah ha” moment. I was struggling years ago to create the perfect class schedule. Yea, I know it might sound silly. I was teaching numerous yoga classes and trying to figure out the BEST days and times. I wasn’t getting anywhere because I couldn’t get it right. I was wound tight around the idea that there was a perfect schedule.

I stopped what I was doing and went to my art supplies. I had a fairly large piece of laminate that was already prepped and waiting. I gave myself permission to make a mess. There was no right way in that moment. Nothing I could do wrong. I painted. I followed a flow of pleasure. Whatever color felt good, whatever stroke felt good. I did it. I let the energy flow.

I’ll tell you it’s an abstract piece. Afterward I sat down and finished that schedule in no time. Done. No worries. Whew. I could breath again. I could move. I had to find someway to get myself moving. Someway to give myself permission to just do it.

I found it interesting how many compliments I received on that piece of art. The energy spoke to people. It was raw, honest and angry. I was angry at feeling so stuck. At that point the anger was healthy. An anger that I could channel into setting myself free.

It takes energy to set yourself free. If you are using a mask of Spiritual goodness you may be hiding that energy. Stuffing it down because there is this belief that to be Spiritual means you are always serene and happy. That’s a load of crap. Life can be messy. Messy can be great fun with the right attitude. Oops, sorry I used the word “right” now didn’t I. Perfection just creeps in everywhere now doesn’t it.

New Page

I finally figured out how to create a book page with the links I wanted.  I’ve been wanting to share some of the great books I’m reading.  Here’s one of several I have going.  What If It All Goes Right? Creating a New World of Peace, Prosperity & Possibility by Mindy Audlin.  Tony gifted it to me and the timing was good.  Have you noticed how that happens?  I’ll stop reading a book for a while, then pick it up when I really need to read what was in the next section.

What if … everything is in divine order right now.  Doesn’t the unknown just scare the bejezzes out of you sometimes?  We hang on, ok I hang on resisting the change.  Ugh.  OK time to let go.  Trust.  Thank you.
