Letting Go of Worry, Letting in a Solution

If there is anything troubling you in your personal life right now, worry about a certain issue be it financial/health/relationships/other, or an unhappiness with how something is going, imagine yourself holding a balloon containing the issue/worry. Really feel it's all in there. Now let it go. 

Ask that the Divine/God/the universe/your Higher Self please handle it in the best possible way for the highest good. Once you've done this, in the coming days, follow any feelings or intuitive nudges that pop up. 

You may get the urge to do something, say something or go somewhere. You may feel compelled to meditate or journal on something in particular. In that moment of divine inspiration you won't necessarily remember your balloon exercise, but later you'll look back and think, hmm how interesting I did that balloon thing last night and this afternoon I made that realisation that has helped me, or I read that book that's been sitting unread for months and turned to the exact page that had an answer for me. 

Letting go of worry creates the space for us to receive divine guidance and insight, offering ideas on new actions to take and creative solutions we may not otherwise have considered. It 'untwists' our hose that connects us to all that we need including opportunities, meetings with those who can help us, synchronicities and miracles out of nowhere.

29 July Star of David Alignment

Today's 'Star of David' planetary line-up features two grand trines, three oppositions, three mystic rectangles and a couple of T-squares all wrapped up in six sextiles - so what does that mean? 

Energetically it feels a bit like when you're driving a dodgem car at the fun fair. It's part zooming around smoothly with so much ease it feels effortless, part carefree happiness, and part side-swipe from nowhere that hits you so hard it jars your neck and gives you whiplash. 

Whatever happened to you or your loved ones today (or in the days surrounding today) it may have been wonderful, shocking, devastating or a miracle. Very likely it was unexpected. Most definitely it was 'written in the stars' and one of those fated things that happen regardless of what you were consciously planning or wanting to happen. Absolutely, whether directly or indirectly, it was heart-opening and soul-expanding, and for some that may also mean something that was heart-breaking. Sending lots of love to those who are feeling that. 

Today's alignment offered a course correction to those who were wavering off-course or taking unnecessary detours. It involves the hard-hitters Uranus and Pluto who don't play games or beat around the bush. They just come right out and change you. The Moon and Water Trine are there, making it very emotional. Yet at the same time the Moon and the Water Trine act like a caring, soothing mother saying "There, there it's all going to be okay," giving you a sense of peace and calm, sending support, love, inspiration, friends and hugs just as you need them. 

July will end having transformed so many of us, and this alignment wraps up so many of the current influences into one big bundle so there's no escaping change or growth where one or other (or both) are due. What's happening for you all right now?

Creating our Reality

Continuing on from yesterday's discussion about Manifesting and the ways in which we create our reality, here is an excerpt from my course Create a Life You Love:

We create our reality much the same way as we choose what we want to watch on television. If you want to watch the MTV Music awards, you know that you have to turn your set on to the MTV station. You don't spend time wondering how the broadcast gets to you when you are in London and the awards are in LA. You don't worry about the ten steps that need to happen between camera, presenter, director, studio and satellite to get the show into your living room. All you know is: I want to watch the show. You turn on the right station at the right time, with no doubt you will see what you expect to see. It wouldn't cross your mind to turn to a sports station and get frustrated because instead of music you can only see football which you don't like at all;yet we do that kind of thing all the time with our thoughts and beliefs. We know we have the power to change the television channel anytime we want, but we have forgotten about the power we have to change and choose our own life.

So, this all sounds easy enough: focus on what you want to see and you'll see it in your reality. Why then aren't we all keeping our attention on our 'Abundance' channel, 'Work I Love' channel and 'Soulmate' channel more often? Well, no-one gave us a life instruction manual when we were born, most of our parents didn't know this is how it worked, and it hasn't been until relatively recently that people are waking up to, and then teaching, this information that is our divine birthright to know. Secondly, we have been living in an ego/fear based reality for a long time, so it has become our unnatural natural tendency to focus on what we don't have, or on obstacles that we believe are in the way of what we want to have. We may desire more money, but all we think about is our bills and debt. We yearn for greater freedom and travel, but keep saying things like 'you have to work to live' or 'you need money for that and I can't see how I'm going to suddenly get that much money'. Any time, and every time, that we indulge in thoughts like that, which bring up matching heavy feelings, we are like someone flicking to ESPN every few minutes, when all they really want to do is enjoy the MTV music awards show. We do ourselves zero favours when we tune in to channels we have no desire to watch. We also tend to focus on irrelevant channels. If you want to manifest a wonderful home or three month trip to Europe, picture it, feel it and let go of the mind's need to logically sort out how it will happen. Don't start trying to manifest the amount of money you assume you'll need, because money usually isn't your Soul's true desire. Place your attention on your true desire, the home or the trip, and let the Universe answer your request in a way you would never have thought of.

The channels you choose are ultimately run by two 'networks': fear, doubt and worry being one, love, faith, trust, being the other. It is your decision in every moment as to which one you want to subscribe to. The simple act of consciously choosing, and committing to, your preferred network is so powerful and often bypasses the need to focus on specific channels. When you have faith and trust, you will more easily spend a day relaxing and having fun, which releases your resistance and allows the flow of all you want to come to you. When you have faith and trust you will more easily give to others, turning your attention away from any lack or 'I'm not enough/I don't have enough' energy, shifting your energy to vibrate with the message "I have a lot to offer" which is like hanging a neon light above you, bringing more clients or the right partner to your door.

The third issue is that we have so many subconscious factors at play, influencing our choices and decisions. We may in all earnestness decide we want to place our attention on the 'Abundance' channel, 'Health' channel or 'Faith and Trust' network, but if we have old programs in our system they will inevitably interfere with our creation process. It is for this reason that simply visualising and affirming what you want doesn't work. If you are asking for more money, but a deeper part of you doesn't feel worthy or associates money with greed or any number of other conflicting messages, you are sending out a mixed signal via your vibrational energy. When your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, subconscious energy and desires don't match, it is like projecting four different films out onto a movie screen at the same time. The good thing is: you don't have to spend a whole lot of time digging into your energy to find what your conflicting messages are.

To break the pattern of tuning in to a channel you are no longer into, and make a quantum leap into a new reality and experience, be it in one part of your life or your whole life, you have to shift your entire energy to align with the new reality and experience. In doing so anything within your vibrational field that is not aligned with what you want will naturally come up for attention and release. However if you don’t realise this is what’s happening you can get disillusioned thinking ‘Hey, I set out to have a clean house and now I find dust all over me!” Well guess what, this is what often happens when you clean house! You don’t want to give this dust a lot of energy, but you certainly don’t want to push it back down, or sweep it under the carpet only for it to keep influencing you. You only need to acknowledge it, address it however appropriate, and keep moving forward with your intention. Eventually the dust will settle and you WILL end up on the other side with a wonderful, new space.

Manifesting and 'Positive Thinking'

The topic of Manifesting has come up on the Facebook page today and its connection with 'positive thinking'. 

This reminded me of an interaction I had the other week with a man who runs a local cafe. As I was waiting for my order I heard him telling his co-workers that he'd been to a meditation evening the previous night and the topic was Manifesting. He seemed to be laughing it off so I, of course, had to pipe up with a "it works you know." He said 'Ah, the power of positive thinking right?" and I said well no not really...it's the power of knowing what is in your energy field, because that's what's creating your reality. He just stood there pondering that, so I picked up my chai latte and made my way out the door with a bye, have a nice day! 

The point is, Manifesting is about so much more than just believe and it will happen or visualise and it will come. Whenever we set an intention for anything new, particularly something that is way above our usual expectations for ourselves, it will always bring up anything within us that is not in alignment with that for attention, for clearing, for release, for transformation. This includes old beliefs, wounds, fears, inherited ancestral patterns (as proven by Epigenetics) and other aspects that are contributing daily to the creation of our reality. 

I am a huge advocate for Conscious Thinking/Feeling/Awareness if you really want to create a life that feels good to you.

Full Moon (and Age) of Aquarius

Mercury went Direct yesterday, and there's a Full Moon on powerful 0 Degrees Aquarius tonight so there are a lot of decisions being made after previous to-ing and fro-ing, conversations happening after recent halts to communication and clarity emerging out of cloudy confusion. 

The Full Moon is making this particular Mercury direct more emotional than most, so your heart and feelings (or someone else's) will be taking a leading role in your decisions, conversations and clarity. 

This can manifest in several ways: finally listening to your feelings despite rational logic or fear telling you to do otherwise, making a tough choice that may upset others but is necessary for your emotional wellbeing, having closure on some matter that may cause equal amounts of sadness and relief, moving forward with a long delayed goal/dream/intention. 

You may be on the receiving end of someone else's need to be true to themselves, which for you doesn't feel good but if you can see it from their perspective everyone right now is needing to do what they need to do. 

Aquarius at this time, as an era as well as a Full Moon, speaks to us of the importance of being who we really are and doing what we came here to do, even if it makes us stand out as unusual, or is unconventional, untried or untested. When we are committed to really following our authentic heart and soul path, it benefits everyone in the long term (and on a higher level), even though it can be challenging in the short-term (and on the surface). 

How are you all feeling?
