‘Tis the Season for gifts — here’s one I recently received and here’s one for you…

 

Wow what a year – it’s been a while seen I’ve added a new post, but let me assure you, there hasn’t been a dull moment since I last did!  I once heard “it’s better to wear out in life from overuse, than to rust out from non use” – I highly suspect that will be me   And if you’re not interested in me per say, please bypass all this and read below on for what’s in it for YOU

I recently experienced one of my life’s dreams which was to jump start my nieces’ and nephews’ lives by putting on a self-empowerment seminar for them, sharing the sciences and philosophies which have significantly changed my life.  These are the key foundational components I also share with my coaching clients.  I figured these young adults didn’t need to wait 48 years (and perhaps maybe never) to learn how to really take charge of their behaviors and create the life of their dreams.

Originally, I thought I’d share some money making strategies since — “show me the money” seems to be the initial attention getter BUT the plain fact is that 80-90% of life’s successes come from our own psychology.  This is what we think of our ourselves, what our beliefs are, which are our possibility filters, which impact our results.  This being said, it made so much more sense for me to teach them how their minds work so they could put it to work for themselves and not against themselves. Teach them how to use this amazing bio-chemical computer to accomplish whatever it is they want. Because here’s the deal, let’s say you want to have money to travel the world, or to have an great relationship but you believe at a deep level, that “no one in your family has ever achieved this, so why would you,” you could spend a lot of money and time trying to learn strategies to accomplish this but your results being sabotaged by these in congruencies between your conscious mind and your unconscious mind.  That’s why it’s important to get it right in the mind first.

In teaching them, I had hoped they would have some major shifts in consciousness, which is simply a combination of knowledge and action —  and by George they got it!!  They loved the learnings, and they loved the teacher   This was huge for me and although I thought I was giving them a gift, the real gift was for me, and, to share in that heartfelt experience with them.

And here’s a little something for you:  All things at their core break down to energy and I’m sure most of you would agree there’s a lot of doom and gloom energy out there right now about the economy, the environment, and political issues.  But I am here to remind you that it does not have to be your reality.  You can observe it but the key is that you can transcend it:

Here are three steps to transcending the heaviness and negativity which I was recently reminded of by Dr. Terry Cole Whitaker:

1)  Remember who you truly are

You are in this world but are not of it and you were born with mystical powers.  Your thoughts, words, emotions, and desires are universal powers.  It’s everything that the “Secret” talks about…. We are not our minds, we are not our bodies, we are souls, a divine slice of the omnipotent power that makes life possible.

2)  Understand that there are universal principles and laws of life.  And if used wrongly, gives us negative results. 

We co-create our experiences.  All negative words and thoughts are destructive.  What you do is always going to cause an effect.  What we think about and focus on is what we create.  What we give out we are going to get back — so choose wisely and focus on what you want and not on what you don’t want.  Everyone has the same power but it’s what we do with it that counts. 

3)  We need to control our minds and act righteously or use it in a right way to give us what we want (as long as it is safe to us, safe to others and safe to the planet).

We can not believe the minds, thoughts, and mindsets of others who do not know who they truly are.

You have a fabulous future ahead and what it is going to be, is up to you and our Divine Source.  “You were born with potential.  You were born with goodness and grace.  You were born with dreams and ideals.  You were born with greatness.   You were born with wings.  You were not meant for crawling, so don’t.  You have wings.  Learn to use them and fly.”  — Rumi, Sufi Mystic and Poet

When the student is ready — the teacher will appear.

 

I had heard this saying many times before and have recently experienced it first hand.  Around this same time last year, I worked through several processes to discover/rediscover what my passions are, all with the idea that I would work in this area and do what I really enjoy doing.  And although I was happy about the changes I had made in my life over the past seven years (leaving the corporate world of business), and had been enjoying all that I had created, I still felt unfulfilled in the area of career.  Some of the freedoms that I’ve enjoyed during this time have been: more time to read, to learn, to explore, and to think and be.  I’m so grateful to have learned that some of our greatest and truest guidance comes from within, so I started to pay attention, listen and trust how I was really feeling and through all of this had decided that I wanted to teach, develop, motivate, and inspire people.  And Coaching others would be a perfect place to start!

 

Shortly after I had made this decision, I stumbled across a workshop in Los Angeles by Christopher Howard Training, called Breakthrough to Success.   Within three months, I found myself there, not even knowing what it was about but felt drawn to go nevertheless.  That weekend changed my life because there I was, right before an organization that teaches transformational tools, which are considered the latest generation of tools to effect human change. I felt very strongly that these were the perfect tools to enable me to be a highly effective coach.  For the remainder of the year, I Fast Tracked the intensive courses in Neurological Repatterning, Neuro-linguistic Programming, and Ericksonian Hypnosis, and am now certified in these areas which is awesome!

I loved learning about how the mind works and how it impacts our behaviors. We all know that we have minds, but we “are not” our minds.  Thus learning to control our minds and to focus it is truly the key to help us get what we want in life. 

Did you know that in every second, about two millions bits of information is hitting your five senses and that your mind can’t possibly process that information?  So it gets generalized, distorted, deleted, and stored in the unconscious mind and all in an instant.  Your unconscious mind is the warehouse for all your emotions, beliefs, memories, decisions, attitudes, one’s sense of time and space.  And be it right, wrong or real, that information is stored at the unconscious level which is why at times we have blocks/issues/obstacles in becoming more of who we want to become because our unconscious mind is not aligned with our conscious mind.  This all being said, it is very important to know that 5% of the time, we operate at the conscious level, and 95% of the time at the unconscious level.  Which means, in order to truly effect change, it must be done at the unconscious level which is where all learning, behaviors, and change take place.  I may be going on ad infinitum about this, but to bring this all home, the tools I mentioned above are designed to work with the unconscious mind, which is why I’m very excited about using them in my coaching practice. 

And now that I am working with clients professionally, I am thrilled and encouraged because I know that just as quickly as these disempowering beliefs/decisions/experiences, etc., have been stored in the unconscious mind, we can just as quickly remove them!  ….and replace them with empowering meanings that better serve us all in our lives.
