Being Free

Are you feeling the new higher vibrational energies coming in? Do you experience moments of feeling more expansive and free? Every single person on the planet is being affected by these glorious energies whether they are fully aware of them or not. It is so exciting!

I was experiencing these feelings the last few weeks but it was only fleeting. I decided I wanted to go deep within and manifest feeling totally free. So many times in the past I have felt 'stuck' and a feeling of waiting for something. It felt like something was going to happen outside of me. It's a 'waiting for a bus' kind of feeling that I had been experiencing for quite some time. Not comfortable or empowering at all.

Ok, I said to myself, enough of this, I will manifest total freedom and expansion in myself by myself. I had fleeting feelings of this in my life and wanted them permanently. We can all manifest anything at all - not just material things. All we have to do is 'ask' or 'intend' something we really want with our heart and soul and let it go. (See the post about how to manifest here)

Once I had let go of asking for this personal transformation, I went about doing what I normally do in my daily life. Soon after I started to get insight instructions pouring into my head; an entire process downloaded into me on how to set myself free.

Process for setting yourself free:

changing our bad habits effortlessly

Almost everyone does things that are not in their highest and best interest. What do we do when we want to change them in the most effortless way?

This is the question I asked myself when I decided that I wanted to manifest 'perfect health for me'. Now I know this sounds like a tall order but I just thought, why not?

I love manifesting! It's like being a kid in a candy store. Anything you want you can ask for. Remember, you never know when or how it will happen, but it will. (Read the 5 basic steps to manifesting here).

Once I had let go of my manifestation for perfect health, I just went on doing what I normally do, eating what I usually eat and exercising sporadically. I did not resist doing anything I felt wasn't in my best interest. If I resisted anything I was setting up a battle of wills between my mind and my physical or emotional body and that was not going to get me very far. It is one way to change - by using willpower - but certainly not effortless and can also eventually backfire on you.

We all have many bodies; mental, physical, emotional, spiritual etc. and each seem to have a mind of their own. I knew that to manifest effortlessly all my bodies would have to be on the same page and in alignment. By using manifesting I was also bypassing my mind completely and going right to the divine/my higher self to guide my whole being.

This is what has happened to me with my latest manifestation so far:

Do you accept yourself exactly as you are?

Mmmm.... this post has been most difficult for me to write. The question 'do you accept yourself exactly as you are?' popped into my head more than two weeks ago and I have really been struggling with it ever since. I asked for intuitive clarity and 'let go' to receive the insights. The thing is, I assumed I needed to be able to answer 'yes' to this question before I posted. Silly me.

This is a very big question. To answer 'yes' means we are completely non-judgemental, totally forgiving and loving ourselves exactly as we are with all our bad habits and imperfections.

How can we love another unconditionally unless we do so with ourselves first? It is so much harder to forgive ourselves than another!

So..... how do we go about doing this?

What part of us is the one that is unforgiving? Is it our heart or mind?

Our heart, once open, is only about love and can only pour love into us. It is with our minds that we criticize ourselves. My mind constantly tells me to get up earlier, exercise more, create more, blah, blah, blah. You get what I mean. It is difficult to feel inspired when you always have a judge sitting in your head!

Our minds have been programmed to the hilt by family, friends, church, state and advertising! There is an endless loop of expectations that have come from outside of us running non-stop in our heads.

So how do we stop criticizing ourselves?

We manifest it!

This bypasses our minds completely. We know that we cannot solve a problem at the level of the problem so just go directly to the divine with our heartfelt request. Our hearts are completely linked to the divine and whatever we ask we will receive! We never know how or when this will happen but it will. The stronger our desire the more powerful the manifestation.

Manifesting - 5 Basic Steps

Manifesting. Creating what you desire in your life. How do we do this?

We all have the ability to manifest our heart's desires. It is not difficult. We are the only ones that stand in the way of making it happen.

Many years ago I realized that our thoughts created our reality. I had never heard of this concept before but by observing a close friend of mine, I noticed he always ended up creating what he most feared in life. This had been happening to him for years and he felt very much like a victim. In my own life I had the opposite. I always seemed to manifest what I really wanted and had a habit of looking at life in a much more positive way. I found this all very interesting and started to become more aware of how it all worked.

By consciously practicing asking for what I really wanted, without the fear of it not happening, I discovered that our thoughts and feelings, really do create the life we desire.

One day, when I was preparing for a workshop I was giving on manifesting, I intuitively received the words 'there are five basic steps to manifesting'. On the morning of the workshop I suddenly woke up with these words in my head and immediately wrote them down. When I compared them to what I had written previously in my preparation notes, I noticed that everything was there but completely summarized by just these five basic steps:

Facing Fear

How do we face our fears?

Our automatic reaction for survival in a fearful situation is either 'fight' or 'flight'.

When we are in 'fight' mode we want to attack someone out of fear. This just escalates the fear, damages the relationship further and does nothing to resolve the situation.

When we are in 'flight' mode we want to run away from fear. We may even try to pretend it doesn't exist or ignore it hoping it will magically go away. The fear we feel is still there and stays in our body causing problems for us on all levels; mental, physical and emotional.

Fear is a normal emotional response to something frightening that has happened to us. It is a contractive experience that shuts us down and closes our heart. You cannot feel love and fear at the same time. Fear is the opposite of love, not hate, which is another form of fear.

Is there a more holistic way to deal with fear?

Yes. There is another way that will neutralize the fear and have it disappear right in front of our eyes. The first time I faced one of my fears it was an incredible experience. I decided to confront my father with something I knew he did not want to hear. Even though I loved him very much I was always afraid of his anger.

Dreams

Lately I am finding that my dreams are very powerful, bizarre and feel very real. I often still feel the effects of these dreams during the day which makes it very uncomfortable. So many changes are happening to us right now and this is all part of the new divine energies coming in to clean and purge the old, stuck issues.

Past moments of emotions frozen in time are finally being released. At the time we didn't know how to deal with our trauma but the new higher energies pouring in are allowing them to be healed. The vibrations of these stuck issues are too low and cannot ascend with us to this new, higher place of being. It is happening very quickly but slow enough for everyone to be able to handle it, barely. Everyone in the world is going through these energy changes. The grand shift of the ages is upon us!

My moods and emotions during the day also seems to swing from being very happy and creative and feeling more 'me' than ever to feeling frustrated and low. I am suddenly re-experiencing very old feelings from my past that I thought I had resolved long ago. It's eerie having these old states of mind. It's like time traveling to other times in my life then having it overlay this time period as well.

Survival Mode

Many of our issues are coming up right now. Right in our faces. Our negative traits, inadequacies and insecurities are bubbling up. These traits are not who we really are but the by-product of having gone away from Source. Source/the Divine/God/etc. is ever expansive, total love and pure joy and we have been on a long journey away from this. We have been in contraction mode experiencing much fear and pain.

We have also been in survival mode for a very long time and have adapted and survived the best we could. Everyone has done that. Even the most evil (live spelled backwards) person on the planet has been incredibly damaged and is in survival mode. They have cut themselves off from the light and love of Source and have completely lost their way. They can't even remember what love and light would feel like anymore, or that it even exists.

We are all a part of the Divine/'All That Is' as a Divine aspect and were 'made in God's own image'. What an amazing gift! We have been on a long, long journey exploring and experiencing with total free will and allowed to go wherever we wanted, even away from love and light. It has made us incredibly rich with experiences but not very happy!

Everyone is scarred and damaged in some way. We are finding our way back to who we really are. We are not our issues or insecurities. They must fall away. Who we really are is love and light and pure expansiveness. This is what is happening to us right now - we have gone as far as possible away from Source and we've had enough. We want to go home. Everything that is not love and light is being dismantled and changed as we head back to our higher state of being.
