Heart VS. The Mind

August 20, 2015 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

struggle photo In all battles in situations regarding the heart vs. the mind, go with your heart! The heart doesn’t lower itself to the contradictory, noisy, chatty thoughts of the mind. The heart just waits silently, quietly prompting us to take the high road in making life decisions. Many times our mind is so loudly complaining that we don’t even know that our heart is voicing to us as well.

It’s much easier for your mind to catch up with your heart, than for your heart to catch up with your mind. It’s our mind that wants to get even. It’s our mind that gets hurt. It’s our mind that sends us out in many directions to try to get the right answer. When in reality its the heart within us that does have the answers. But our minds don’t always like or want the answers the heart is giving us. So we dance… until one day we are ready to really allow ourselves to face what is going on. Waking up to what’s personally going on that’s called responsibility, and that’s when we take charge of our lives again.

I hope you are doing great. I’m working on many projects. I feel it’s time for changes and renovations. I feel that in all battles of the heart, the mind seems to speak out to us the loudest. Yet when one goes with what the heart is feeling/expressing, verses what the mind is controlling one to do…making our final decision from that heart base of the matter, is a much better course of action in the long run.

Change is inevitable in this life. It’s a constant here on the Earth plane. It’s easier to go with the flow of life. It’s the ego which sends us swimming upstream, which can make us very tired.

We get opportunities every day to clear the problems and toxic emotions in our life’s of course. Doesn’t it feel these days like many things are coming out to the surface at the same time?

From this point of view it seems imperative we awaken and stay more conscious and present. We need to remember that our subconscious mind memory keeps re-playing these patterns and stories. We have the power to transform our lives and set ourselves free from these grooves we keep repeating; if we take 100% responsibility for what is happening in our lives. In doing so we return power to ourselves to take charge of our lives in positive supportive directions.

We have free will, so we can also choose to keep suffering, complaining, blaming, seeing ourselves as a victim, etc. If that behavior makes sense to you, keep on doing it. Worst case scenario, you will have to repeat the same patterns. You have to come back, undo and bring problems back to balance.

Please, remember that you chose to come to this Earth plane, and before coming here, you chose your obstacle course to work out and the “difficult people” in your life, because those things would give you the opportunity to correct unresolved errors, to grow, to learn, evolve and transcend.

You also chose the most difficult school in the Universe (Earth). You made it, you had the privilege to have been chosen, and your teachers are constantly appearing in your life (your children, your boss, your mother in law…) But, now you are complaining?

You can find enjoyment and get everything you need while you do your job (erasing subconscious problems) to get to the next level. It’s your time now to re-member!

Now I am here to remind you and show you to keep alert to these inner callings to change. It can be easier than what you have been encountering. The way to start this change is to allow your mind to quiet. Meditate, close your eyes, and be aware of your breath going in and out. In quieting the mind you can get in touch with ‘Your True Self- Pure Consciousness’. From there changes occur and blessings flow into your life.

I have always been grateful for Aloha: which means…The Breath of God Is in Your Presence!

When our Heart, Mind and Spirit are in alignment without resistance…that’s when we achieve balance.

Easy Tips For Physical And Mental De-Stress

October 6, 2014 by Linda Crane 2 Comments

Stop “trying” to eat healthfully START doing it 100%. Why? because “trying” to do something can be stressful. Feeling good and healthy is a large part of “Living The Good Life”. We learn about this when we aren’t feeling well. Not eating well causes us to struggle mentally and physically. Eventually we will have to get more creative to regain what we may lose from less healthy habits. This can cause that emotional roller-coaster which produces fatigue and feeling drained from those highs and low’s. By choosing more healthy foods to keep your life on a better even track, you can meet challenges in your daily life more “easily and stress free” to accomplish your goals. Less stress and more peaceful living is of great value for experiencing more happiness each day.

“Easy Tips” for Physical and Mental De-Stress Each Day.

On the physical health side: It’s known that we are products of our environment, our thoughts and our habits. “Think a thought, sow an act…Sow an act, reap the habit,…Sow the habit, reap the character,… Sow the character, reap the destiny.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

I like Dr. Joel Fuhrman M.D. and agree with what he says about eating nutritiously for health:

“This will take strength and effort, but the pleasure and rewards will be priceless”!

1. “Go Cruciferous“! Cruciferous vegetables are your best defense for fighting cancer! Examples: broccoli, cauliflower, kale, brussel sprouts, cabbage, bok choy, arugula, collard greens, daikon, mustard greens, kohlrabi, radishes, rutabaga, turnips, watercress.

2. Salad is the main dish – and the secret to successful weight control and a long healthy life.

3. Low-nutrient foods fuel overeating behavior – “Flood Your Cells With Nutrients”!

4. Eat For Health…put an end to type II diabetes or heart disease – and get off medications! Dr. Joel Fuhrman M.D.

For Mental De-Stressing:

Take a “5 Minute Fix of silence and quiet” to enhance your mental focus and happiness. Give your brain a chance to be off duty…by inviting more quiet into your busy life. This will assist you in being more productive while making healthier decisions.

If you lose those moments to de-stress then you also lose the chance to process and integrate things you have learned… heard… and done. Helpful ideas show up when you turn off the noise. Many people get good insights when taking a bath or while taking a shower without any distractions.

You’ll discover as I did that without distractions; you will have more space to think, relax, brainstorm, and enhance your ability to move toward achieving those things that make you feel happy.

The Following Points Are Helpful For Me:

1. Turn down the volume and stop living with chronic noise.

These are some small changes that give my brain the opportunity to focus and reflect, so I can make healthier decisions. When we turn down the volume we can tune into another person and experience a connection in a relationship that we can’t get from a life awash with noise, chatter, and distractions.

2. Take regular breaks from social media just 5 minutes at a time helps to allow more quiet time into my life. This helps me to be calmer and more energetic.

Constant noise around us adds to the rise of blood pressure and it affects how well we remember things too. Studies on quiet and the brain show that in a noisy environment (ex: a crowded restaurant) affect short term memory in that it becomes overloaded, because the brain circuitry that processes recall and speech is the same one that handles noise. Ever notice that when you are driving and you become lost you’re likely to turn down the volume on the radio? That’s because when it’s noisy in your environment it’s tougher to concentrate and find your way. It works the same way for trying to find your way in life…when there are too many distractions it’s harder to focus, plan properly, and delays occur for coming up with the right solutions.

If you are usually distracted by TV, background noise, or a vibrating cell phone, you miss out on your brain being off duty. Usually when my brain is quiet I come up with those great hunches. When your brain is constantly going it is much harder to process what you have learned, you are less attentive to what you have heard, what you have done, and your recall is not as sharp.

3. When less distracted and less stressed you’re more likely to keep up positive habits. Here are a few ways to invest in calmness:

When you are first driving out in your car wait 5 minutes before turning on the radio.

Instead of flipping on the TV right away you can choose what to read by getting your news on line. It’s better than being forced to process all the days distressing range of stories to watch and fear.

The following has never failed me for decades. This is my knowing that has become my personal program so I don’t have to tune into the media hype all the time. You may want to try my approach. Be positive and consistent with this for it to work for you as well.

I just know and believe, that I will find out everything I need to know… at just the right time I need to know it…and will be able to do whatever I have to do… with plenty of time to do it.

4. Set Boundaries for yourself. Example: Refrain from checking your phone during meals. You’ll digest your food much better. Without constant threats of interruptions your more inclined to do something productive for your brain like daydream to invent design your present and future.

5. Meditate which is about quieting the mind and helps you to get inspired. In order to have new fresh ideas come to you…give your mind calm quiet moments. Take deep…relaxing…slow…belly breathes in through your nose…and out through your mouth…to experience calmness, and feel more centered. This will enhance your health and focus.

And when you are eating foods packed with nutrients, and include the mental habits to achieve happiness and calm; you’ll become more inspired and productive. Your brain will love it too.

Life’s small moments can only add up to something more meaningful when you give yourself the chance to reflect on them!

Expectations

September 30, 2013 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

Manifesting that which we desire requires a lot of TRUST and CONFIDENCE. When we think that we are not receiving answers to our prayers or we don’t see results, it is not because we are not heard. God is not a Concierge! Walt in Breaking Bad TV series, felt that he was good at what he did and he felt alive when he did it. He said so in the last episode. Yet it led him down a path magnetized by his thoughts and he went with his expectations. There has been a lot of breaking bad in people’s lives which made Breaking Bad TV show such a popular series we can learn from.

Many times we think of God as our servant and we demand what we want, how, when, what color, and at what time we want it. And the how’s (if we are not partnering with God) can really lead us off our paths and get us into a lot of trouble. That is not how the universe works. It is necessary to ask without having expectations. Have no expectations! Expectations ruin relationships. Our real relationship is first with our Creator then our life shows genius and is said to be in the flow. You get things that are beneficial to you in a positive life enhancing way E A S Y. Things come to us with ease. We are creators of our own life experiences AND we are also co-creators with the Divine. We are relating to everything and everyone in our world all the time. We are just to ask for that which we think is correct for us, and then let go, and see what happens instead of forcing our will. The mind only has limited information to give us.

Why should we ask, let go, have God as our partner, and have patience? Because we are clueless to what really is going on. With all our advances and great developed minds on the planet our Doctorates and PhD’s. we still are not sure how to solve problems. Research has shown that the mind is only able to experience 15 bits of information per second at any given time, out of 11 million bits of information going on around us in any given moment. Fifteen bits of information per second is really tunnel vision wouldn’t you say? Making decisions from that perspective is really why we fall short, and at best is a shot in the dark to reach your target expectations.

The secret is to put it out there for what you desire to see happen without your limited expectations. ASK, TRUST, and LET GO, and be opened to receiving from even the least expected person or place. From our finite mind perspective that isn’t easy for us to accept, so we flounder until we

“get with” the way of compassionate action with ourselves, the way of the heart, and work with the Universal Consciousness/God that knows what is best for you, much better than you think is best for you. The Creator sees all the pieces of your puzzle and knows how they all fit into perfect alignment.

Our problem is that we have expectations, we want things in advance and we are very impatient and inflexible. The ONE SOURCE/God knows exactly what is perfect and right for us, how to give it to you when you need it. We think we are the ones creating the opportunities through our work, our spouses, our investments, but all these are different ways and roads through which things manifest. When a door closes, it is because another is going to open automatically. One thing we can all be sure of is this planet is one of change, and with all of our twists and turns having pilot (God) who can get us back on track is a wise decision.

To my way of understanding, the TV series Breaking Bad had a lot to do with getting off track with ones life, and what it takes to get back on track again. Did you ever ask yourself how did I get so off track with my life? We have all gotten off track. It’s easy to do these days. We are going to have to give ourselves a wide range here on planet earth, being flexible enough not to force things when they don’t feel right to stay on track in one’s life.

Our worst nemesis is when a problem arises is to worry. In doing this, we get stuck and trap ourselves, and we end up attracting more of what we don’t want. TheBreaking Bad TV series is full of examples of getting stuck and creating more of what you don’t want. One thing leading to another it’s about how situations we get into from our thinking mushrooms/escalates from one thing to the next and multiplies. We are magnetic beings bringing forth the pieces of our creation. We are creating all the time. Expectations have a lot to do with our creations. Some creations are good some are bad. Abundance and prosperity have to do with our consciousness. Through our thinking, controlling, manipulating, we give permission consciously or unconsciously for everything Breaking Bad to manifest in our lives. We can break family patterns that are no longer useful or benefit your life.

If you feel you have gotten off track then Self-I-Dentity through Ho’oponopono sessions are available to you and a great way to start your life Breaking Good. Please contact me and visit: www.lindacrane.com for an appointment.

Looking forward to hearing from you!!

Healing Therapy

February 20, 2013 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

“Would you like to experience a spiritual visualization meditation”? If so, then the following process is a good form of healing therapy. There is no cost or prescription required. And it may help you to align with your life purpose.

As you attune within, and indulge yourself often into this vortex of creation, clearing, and plenty, its healing therapy, and vibratory frequency will shift you into a positive direction and raise your level of consciousness.

To familiarize yourself with each point of this energizing meditation; it’s best to go through the entire post before beginning.

We can get out of balance so easily each day. In this meditation you will become acquainted with a large 6 pointed star that generates an extremely, intense bright blue/white Light. It is intense in vibrant color, but not in heat. In fact, it’s very comfortable and inviting to be in its presence. The creation meditation that you are about to explore is an easy, fast, and potent process for realigning positive experiences back into your life! And this happens naturally as you work with this healing therapy. As you continue doing this fresh, invigorating, clearing process, this vortex of creative plenty will continue to be a blessing in your life.

It’s recommended that you allow yourself a few minutes for each part of this clearing meditation. To see results; it’s best to be in a quiet place where you feel comfortable without distractions, in a comfy chair, or propped up on your bed, so not to fall asleep. Your intention is to stay awake, be accepting, and to do the meditation for 5-10 minutes. That’s all that is required.

FYI: Power is built up doing the visualization over days. My suggestion, and what has worked for others, is that you give it your good try for at least 9 days. Why 9 days? The number 9 holds within it the vibrations of accessing information and wisdom, through to completion, from meditation, going within, and receiving guidance towards your desires and goals.

A by product of doing this meditation for some people has been a diminishing feeling of impatience as a result of doing this process. There’s no time limit on how long you can work with this visualization meditation. In a month you could have a new dynamic set in your life. The sales advertisement jingle for winning the lottery comes to mind. It states the phrase, “you have to be in it to win it”. The same holds true about receiving results from this meditation. It’s your choice to put some energy into doing the process.

Note: Respect yourself by not doing this visualization while working, driving, reading, watching t.v., or playing heavy loud music. No subliminal music during the meditation please. None of these is beneficial for your outcomes while in this visualization process. In some cases soft instrumental background music is acceptable, if necessary. Sacred energies do best on your behalf, when you give them your attention.

Healing Therapy Meditation

Let’s begin by reading on, and stating to yourself or out loud: ‘I am now ready to receive a divine clearing of energetic transformation on every level of my being. I ask that this healing be for me, that I am safe, and this is for my high good. May I live my divine purpose. And So It Is’!

You begin this meditation by engaging your senses that are just right for you: by imagining, visualizing, sensing, feeling, or just allowing yourself to know, that a bright, large, 6 pointed star is spinning at the top of your head. This star is now becoming a vortex of a very bright bluish/white Light. This vortex spins in just the perfect direction for your particular needs after it enters through the top of your head and then through your energy systems. You may notice that this vortex may change direction after awhile from that point, as it moves through your energy fields. Sometimes it spins in a circular motion to the left and somethings is spins to the right.

Imagine that this great power of Light is in the shape of a vacuum funnel moving in a counter clockwise direction down through the top of your head and travels into every cell, tissue, muscle, organ, sinew, and space within your entire body. As you allow this Light in, it becomes part of your being as it merges with you in this clearing spiritual meditation.

Now start to become aware of a spiraling dazzling blue/white Light vortex of energy that is moving slowly through your mind. It’s presence is extremely comfortable, potent and nurturing, and it surrounds you. Allow this moment to be just for you. It’s simple, and without any rushing….just be there in the embrace of this beautiful Light.

As this spiraling vortex energy of love completely engulfs you for a few moments with it’s healing essence, the Light gracefully moves through your emotions, bringing with it calmness and peace; while at the same time it releases your stress and pent up emotions.

Now just bathe in that lush, soft, and potent energy vortex. It feel so freeing. It feels so good. You may feel as if it’s almost too good to move on from this abundant, powerful, gentle, and healthy place. So stay a while longer if you wish!

This energy vortex will know just the right moment to move forward into its next destination; which is, whatever area in your life that you are experiencing problems right now. You don’t have to know all the details. Allow it to help you. This is your time…so rest into this loving healing therapy.

This energy vortex of sparkling blue/white Light is all wise and it knows how to assist you. Imagine that your blue/white Light is very perceptive and has the answers for your next steps, the next directions for you to make progress in your life. This blue/white Light carries foresight and wisdom. It is your guiding energy for whenever you call it forth, and just relax in it, to help you with its gifts.

This Light encompasses all healing vibrations of just the perfect energies that you require.

Welcome forth the strength of this healing energy now, in the same way you would ‘welcome your favorite celebrity’!

Invite it to now move through your energy field, to move freely around your physical body, releasing, dissolving, and clearing up all that has been negatively affecting you. This tremendous vibration of energy has your best interests in mind and heart. It’s purpose is to unleash and bring forth your good will and blessings.

The “powerful star vortex” has a stillness and calmness about it that is all its own. It absorbs and cleans like a vacuum for you; as it now pulls out, and dissolves the mental, emotional, and/or physical pain you have encountered. It dissolves tension, frustration, and problems from the lower negative vibrational frequencies that have been held within and around you.

Now visualize, or meditate by seeing, knowing, and feeling that the debris in your mind/body and life are now being ‘loosened and swept up’ through this vortex vacuum, (its energy has a similar look of a funnel tornado), sucking up into the vortex your negative, unwanted energies into the clearing blue/white Light. Yes!!! It feels really good to now bloom, expand, and breathe!

Your work is to enjoy “relax and let go“ into this blue/white vortex of Light. State to yourself that you request these spiritual healing energies, and that you are accepting the positive good that is working through you now. Take a few minutes to enjoy this experience!

Receive the Grace, and Love that you have activated from these higher frequencies of Divine Abundance, Well-Being, Truth, Trust, and Peace stirring now within you. Sense your feelings!

You will know when this vacuum of blue/white Light has finished its clearing for you. Trust this process as it moves through you. You may feel lighter, like a weight has lifted from you, or you can have a multitude of different experiences unique to only you through this clearing.

Before this meditation comes to its close; imagine that these plentiful good energies from within you, are being shared, and absorbed, down into the Earth from the soles of your feet. This assists you in grounding yourself back with Mother Earth.

Upon completion of this meditation, you will have the impression or idea that this clearing process is completed for the day. Now take a few moments to slowly bring your attention back into your space and body. It’s important to take a few steps, and walk about after this experience to center yourself. Stretch and move your body. It’s a good ideas to take notes afterwards on how you felt and what you experienced. Each time you do this meditation you may receive a bunch of different information. Taking some notes is helpful to recall your journey. It’s interesting what you may find. Enjoy your day!

Further comments on this visualization meditation:

Life does not have to become continually difficult. The meditation is simple and straight forward. This clearing beautiful blue/white star vortex of Light, holds the qualities of truth, and freedom that comes forth from the Divine Creator/God. It will instill within yourself, a higher vibrational healing frequency. This will assist you in eliminating health issues. This is a healthy adjunct while working with your physician.

We all have the power to open, deepen, and sharpen, our unique inherent abilities to work within us for self empowerment, and to get assistance when needed. As a race of humans beings we experience greater awareness to enhance our potential. We are more in touch with our abilities to open and access more advanced energy frequencies then in our past history to transform our dross into light.

By absorbing, and allowing the vibrational essence of this 6 pointed star vortex of blue/white Light energies into your being; it equates to giving a gift to yourself. This generous, loving, warm, caring, healing vibration will clear away, and depart from your energetic system; the self sabotage, and outworn patterns of behavior.

These fabulous energies for healing good, allows you to step forward to greater tangible awareness for your life’s vision. (This is about that vision you were not able to make tangible before).

Repressive energies occurred because of feeling stuck, a lack of your heart being opened to the proper degree, lack of acceptance of yourself completely, lack of awareness, requiring better understanding, judgmental attitudes, and lack of self-forgiveness of what has been present.

The lack that plagues your life can be better understood by its characteristics likened to that of dark thick grime on windows. That film is the toxic energies, of worry, doubt, fear, anger, jealousy, guilt, blame, pride, grief, and lack of confidence and self trust.

This visualization clearing will enhance greater harmony into your life. Once you have your vision, a blueprint in place, you can begin to bring your abilities forward and the pieces will form into your life much easier. Everything moves forward from one small step at a time.

The 6 pointed star meditation, is a “sacred spiritual tool” that I experienced while being inspired and guided from the Divine Creator. With every new journey you are always given the means to meet and prosper from the challenges. Particularly now with the financial, economic, environmental, and political shifts happening in our world, as well as, those shifts within your personal world; you are to claim your heritage of happiness and abundance.

There has now come into this earth plane a new evolutionary cycle that began on December 21, 2012. Now it has taken hold and is underway in 2013. Your growth, our Country’s growth, and planet Earth’s evolutionary development has new choices before us. Do you like the choices that are before you? If not, this healing therapy will assist you to change them.

Here are some shared responses from doing this healing therapy meditation:

I can get through my day much better. I’m more aware as to what is to be done, and I’m following through to a greater degree
I now experience less anxious feelings
I feel more sturdy within myself, less nervous
I am less critical and self demanding, and I’m responding more with the flow of life

Astrology 2012

November 14, 2012 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

Clarity through, Astrology 2012, for the purpose of awareness, in the here and now, can bring about positive changes. Once we become aware of what is going on in, through, and around us, we can see the bright side. Astrology 2012, brings out how important “coming to awareness will be at this time, because it really is “a life changer” and we get to understand things at a much deeper level which can bring about stability and creates moving forward in our lives.

Over the last 3 days have you felt unusually intense, emotional, off your mark, unsettled, ungrounded, scattered, out of sorts-strange? Well you just may be experiencing the heightened energies of the November 13, 2012 New Moon/Eclipse in the deep, hidden, intense, sign of renewal, Scorpio.

How do you get a renewal? Something has to end that is no longer useful like: thoughts, situations, events, circumstances, persons, places and/or things, so that something can be transformed for a rebirth to occur. Eclipses bring about transformation, and evolution on a large wide scale. These massive changes can also be welcomed if you are looking forward to change as a betterment in your life. If not, well, change anyway it comes, shows up to be dealt with. The question is how will you handle it??

If you are recognizing these energies within yourself, you are not alone. Eclipse’s can affect the shadow side to our nature, the unbridled energy that can just at the wrong time rear its head “I wish I didn’t do that…” in noticeable ways of effecting ourselves and others. Have fun with the intensity if you like, just note it’s best not to hurt anyone in the process. It’s much harder to come out from under poor judgement/mistakes at these times.

We have a real whammy going on right now all at once. The Sun is in the sign of Scorpio, it’s a New Moon (the dark of the Moon), and Mercury is Retrograde in Scorpio as well. You can be affected on many different levels by Eclipses. A fight, waring within yourself or with others can be felt more intensely during this timing. Getting aggravated is easier during this Eclipse. The affects of Eclipses can be felt long after its passing. Eclipses in many cultures were thought of as being “omens”, that carried fear and in some fashion obliterating what was in its wake.

Are you going through any unresolved issues at this time? Feeling stuck, unfulfilled? These unresolved energies are held within our physical, mental/emotional bodies. That is where the brunt of these burdens are stored, felt, and experienced at these stressful times. It’s a good time to face and unearth to the surface, long held stagnant energies. Face them through being aware of your programs that keep replaying through negative habits or unhealthy life style, and give them the change needed to transform into something positive. This Eclipse in Scorpio can really lend us a hand in changing to a positive direction.

To reach a deeper understanding of our essence it’s important to comprehend that energy is just energy; we can surrender to it and allow ourselves a deeper understanding of its self expression in our lives by doing the deeper work that transforms the old programs holding us back from achieving anything we choose to be, do, or have.

7 Things You Can Do To Give You Support During Intense Eclipses:

1) Be Aware that problems become escalated at the level of our Ego’s.
During these times our ego’s get riled up. To avoid the very deep pain that can come from this; When you sense your ego is trying to be in control: Focus your breathing at your Heart Center. BREATHE deeply focusing on long inhales and long exhales. Do this several times until you feel more centered. Then ask yourself is my ego feeling lack of being approved of, a lack of feeling in control, or lack of feeling safety/security. Then ask yourself could I give up my lack of feeling approval, lack of feeling control in this situation, or the lack of feeling safe and secure, and move into having the feeling of what I’m missing.” Feel, visualize, sense or know what it’s like having approval, having control, and/or having safety and BREATHE into that feeling at your Heart Center.

2) Understand that emotions might run high at these times, and that our abilities of discerning the best course of action can become distorted. Do your best not to become fearful, instead stay centered in your heart. Important issues regarding healing, matters concerning your own personal evolution and spirituality, completion of projects, receiving insights, significant changes, uncovering hidden information, becoming more resourceful, are some areas that can come out of this timing: Eclipses can remove something from your life that doesn’t work or no longer useful, and replace it with something more suitable for you.

3) Practice Allowing & Letting go: The art of surrender does not mean you give up, but rather that you let go of what does not serve you any longer. Let go of those old thoughts, people and situations that can not help you expand, evolve, grow stronger, wiser, and healthier. Blame and guilt are better left behind as well. If you have become too rigid, then try something new. Go with the flow.

4) Reduce Stress: Energy blocks are the main concern for the physical mental/emotional body. They can be released in various ways. Take a walk each day, take baths with essential oils to help you relax. The Essential Oils of Peace & Calming, Valor, Vetiver for grounding, Sacred Frankincense and Dream Catcher are all wonderful choices. German Chamomile, and Australian Blue are great for physical pains. Get as much restful sleep as possible. A good nights sleep is very important so you can think better and make good decisions. Get your personal Bach Flower Remedies to help you cope with the changing circumstances. Have an intuitive life reading to help you cope and give you guidance and direction on your particular concerns.

5) Minimize Risk: Be cautious with risky activities involving sexual encounters and use caution concerning money matters that involve possible money investments. Check it out before your leap.

6) Meditate: Powerful times for meditating are during Eclipses, New Moons, and Full Moons. We can receive more powerful insights and messages from our guidance during these times. A suggestion is to focus on your heart center while meditating to open it and connect you to deeper levels within yourself to expand your awareness, support your life and show you the way to improve your personal life path.

7) Gratitude is the Attitude: It’s hard not to be happy and thankful when your life is changing, evolving and blooming in a more fulfilling direction, because you allowed your self the changes needed to develop, and from the experience feeling that a richer expression of yourself has emerged. That is exactly what can occur during these times. Go for the gusto and let yourself expand and shine in ways you were not able to discover before now. The Eclipse can be a good thing in disguise.

A Better You

August 3, 2012 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

There are some key steps that can give you advantage to reaching your desired goals in becoming ‘a better you’. It’s all about how you relate to your own experiences. Your emotions will make or break you. So it’s sound advise to break the bounds and chains that have held you back. It may seem easier said than done, yet you are living in times of change, in a rapidly changing world. That’s actually a good thing; because a time of change and action can catapult you into your new arena for self empowerment. When that seems too overwhelming take several slow deep breaths. Then have an intention set to your own personal channel for ‘a better you’: “I am inspired and blessed each day with ease”.

Actually you are already the better you inside just waiting to be acknowledged and let out of the illusions and negative thought patterns, old programs, and habits, that have clouded the real essential nature of your true self. Your true self is “peace and joy“. There is nothing more natural than knowing and living out your true nature. It’s time to emerge from the doubts and fears that have been holding you back.

How are you approaching life? With fears or in loving ways? Fear and love are two opposite sides of the scale of emotions. Fear locks you into limitation. Love sets you free. When you continue the same old ways of doing and being; you become complacent and comfortable with the way you have been. Some people say ‘that’s just the way I am’. Accept me the way I am.

If you are really happy with who you are that’s a different story, but if you are longing for a better way, ‘a better you’, then you will have to do something different than you have done before. That requires moving out a bit from your comfort zone. By just changing one (1) thing in your life, you will change many things easily and naturally automatically just from being in that new flow.

Here is a 7 Step Plan to ‘a better you’:

1. Get to know who you are. From doing that one process of discovery and unfolding; you will develop a passion for life and living ‘a better you’.

2. Develop a relationship with your inner wisdom, which is the God of your understanding within you. Focus on your spiritual heart center, located two finger digits to the right of the center of your chest. This is the location where your spiritual heart resides. Focus on that center. Imagine an intense white light shining there and then set your goal to be ‘a better you’. Do this each day for about 10 minutes.

3. Be persistent on your focus in life with determination and a single mindedness of purpose. Invest in your self discovery and inner strength, by embracing yourself where you are and move beyond it. You can change your approach to life and enjoy it for what it is right now.

In being really okay with what is going on right now, you are being truly accepting, and that will turn the tide of the stuck energy. When you don’t like something have you noticed how it never changes? You can’t change it without being neutral with no emotional charge on what is playing out in your life now. I didn’t say you have to like the way things are, but you do have to accept the situation, and when you understand this, the stuck energy will have the space required to move out.

4. It’s necessary to find a way within you to forgive yourself and others. Only you can give yourself this gift. Many times it’s easier to forgive others, but we don’t forgive ourselves for doing something we regret having done. Don’t regret your days. The blame and guilt trap never works.

5. Think positive statements about your perplexing situations, example: What have I learned from this experience? What is the best way to approach this situation? What is my best plan of action to get out of this problem?

6. If you are asking why did this happen to me, nothing will get solved. That is termed as a negative why statement about yourself. In doing that your subconscious will bring up garbage from your past and re-stir the pot of negativity. Good feelings are not brought about through negative why questions. This just keeps you in an endless loop without closure to your problem.

7. One of my wise teachers taught, “who cares why”. It’s done! it’s the past ! You can’t bring it back; so think what can I do to solve this so I can move on. If you are going to use why statements always keep them in a positive framework. Here are a few examples: Why am I so abundant? Why am I so happy? Why is everything going my way? Why is 2012 such a prosperous year for me? Why has it been so easy to be ‘a better me’?
