I'm Back!

Allow me to re-introduce myself... Yes I will admit, it's been a while since I consistantly contributed to my blog. I know, I know...I need to do better. Like so many of us, I got caught up in the daily grind of life. No more excuses...but I know that everytime I do post a new submission, it really is very much a personal moment for me. It's ironic that I use the word "submission" because it truly is just that for me. I am submitting to Spirit to use me to speak a message that needs to be heard by either my own self or others. You just never know how your personal testimony can be a blessing to someone. So, now that we got all that out of the way...let me bring you up to speed a little bit with what has been going on with me. Basically, a lot! But just know that I am embracing my new season of change. I am learning to shift and flow with what the divine has in store for my life. I know that nothing is an accident and that everything is as it is supposed to be right now in my life. Once I decided to get out of my own way and let Spirit guide my thoughts and intensions..things started to shift for me. Not just in my personal life but in all areas of my life journey. Some things had to go, some people had to be re-evaluated, some experiences needed to be passed on, and then amazing surprising new experiences began to appear! Change is like that...it is happening to me on a very organic level that I know is happening but I am not always aware of until I pay attention and see what appear as coincidences or unexpected occurences that shed light on that which is new. This is a direct result of my shifting with my tides of change. I am so thankful and excited about everything because I know I am in the movement of my progression. Onward and Upward to the next chapter! So excited! I can't wait to see how abudantly the universe will suprise me in wonderous and joyous ways. All I have to do is "ask" and let go...and so it is! Nothing is chance, it is all very much on purpose. "Purpose" being the key word. Stand in your truth and I promise you, that you will attract that which you seek. I share all this to encourage you to embrace the changes in your life, know that it is all part of a bigger picture and trust the process. So join with me! I too am "journeying" and we can bask in the new energy together :) Namaste~

Return to ME

"Can You Trust Yourself Enough?" It's 2012 and the one lesson I recently learned is to trust what I know. Trust what I know is me without a doubt. Sometimes people call this your intuition, your gut, your personal insight on this feeling. Being able to trust yourself is truly living with the courage to stand in your truth and protecting that which is you. To have enough honor and respect for yourself, to not allow someone else to dishonor your spirit is Life Saving. I came into a situation with a new experience I thought was going to be an answer to a financial challenge I had been going through. I accepted this position with the optimism that it was the one for me. After being there for a little while I started to encounter situations that did not flow with my spirit. It was like everything I was trying to do was going against the grain. But whose grain was it? Was it mine or was it the people I was in this new position with? What I found was that it was a combination of both. It's that feeling when you know that "something does not feel right". I kept being stressed and conflicted about being in this experience. I did not feel supported, encouraged or welcomed into this new journey that I was on. But I chose not to listen and work through everything I knew intuitively that "this was not it". Partly this was because I knew I needed to make this financial arrangement work. But that was my biggest mistake. I approached it from a place of "lack", like I had no other options and was tied to this monetarily. What I know is that the universe will give what you need. If your spirit requests it, it will be delivered but you have to approach it from a place of "have". You have everything you need right now in your life. You just have to trust yourself and trust that spirit will provide. You are not alone and the more you chose to not listen to your personal truth, the further you move away from who you are. It's a resistance you feel within yourself that lets you know you are out of balance with yourself. Sometimes the first place we look when that happens is everywhere else outside of ourselves, but the answer is always in ourselves. It's a hard pill to swallow when it all hits the fan and deep down you hear a voice that said "I knew this was not going to work" but you chose not to listen. So my lesson is follow your truth, stay obedient to who you are and pay attention to the signs when they appear. The signs that are saying you are going the wrong way...trust yourself. But you have to trust in talents, your gifts, your abilities to know that you are worth it and everything you need in your life will be provided. Dare to trust yourself and trust that the divine that is bigger than you always has your back. Stay on your path, follow your heart, trust your instincts, and always HONOR your spirit. Trust the Nature of Your Own Soul. Namaste. ~Maureen

Love Always

Someone said "It is better to have love and lost than to have never loved at all." I recently took a leap of faith and opened my heart to someone. The lesson that I learned is that it takes courage and a leap of faith when you decide to love again. I had my heart broken a few years ago and it has taken me a long time to feel comfortable and brave enough to open my heart again to someone. What we also have to remember is just because you chose to fall in love with someone does not mean they will fall in love with you too or at the same time. That's the funny thing about love...it has it's own timeline. I learnt about patience and taking a leap of faith. And how great it feels to have love again, to feel love for someone again. So regardless of the outcome...just do it! I believe their is a healing that takes place when you love, its an energy that fills your heart and you too feel loved. Your heart is full and the energy is exciting to see what comes next in your love journey with this person. And even if they might not both come to love at the same time as you do,... know that it was a blessing to have had the chance to love someone and feel that much for another human being. Have an open heart, and LOVE will find it's way back to you. ~Namaste

Go Thru

Go Thru

“Sometimes, the only way out is thru”.

I heard someone say that the other day and it really stuck with me. I know sometimes we all go through our lives with moments when we feel stuck. Whatever the situation, it just seems like it has taken us hostage. We find ourselves trying to avoid it, get around it, sweep it under the rug but it seems to never go away. The lesson I found is that you have to go thru it. Face whatever the brick wall is and blast thru it. Come face to face with it, confront it, and put it to rest.

I recently took a stress test and found that often times our bodies will hold on to a traumatic experience. It’s part of our body memory and often times we don’t even know what the experience was that put our body into stress. Our brain does not differentiate between experiences of stress whether it be a car accident or a heart break…it just registers as stress and a memory is formed. Often times, turning into some kind of dis-ease in our bodies due to stress. It manifests and comes out like not being able to sleep, ulcers, heart attacks, high blood pressure etc. In my case, I found out that my body stays in “flight or fight” mode due to a traumatic car accident I was in and so has lead to my lack of being able to have a full night’s sleep at night and to totally be able to relax at 100%. Luckily for me and thanks to an amazing doctor I found, I caught it in time and am able to start to heal the process. Had I not had the stress test and consultation with Dr. Berg, I could have ended up having a heart attack down the road from the amount of stress my body was carrying that I did not even know about. So even if we can fool ourselves and others into thinking we have the “stressor” under control, we can never fool our bodies. And if we do not face it and take care of it, it could eventually literally kill you.

The reason I mention this is because, we cannot let the things in our lives that stress us out take control of us. We just have to rip the band-aid off and deal with it. Yes, it is going to sting at first but guess what? We get over it…and we survive. It’s not worth holding onto the stress. Life is too short and there is too much you still need to do in your life to let the stress in your life hold you hostage. You have children to love, family to care for, a career to succeed in, a mate to cherish, a community to support and a world to explore!!!

I challenge you today to “GO THRU” it. Whatever your Goliath is…face it today. Slay your dragon or dragons and put it to rest. You have your BEST life to live and it’s time to drop the baggage and be free. And I mean truly let it go, don’t peel the band-aid then go back and put it back on again. Truly, let it go!! And don’t ever look back on it. The past is the past, all we have is this moment. The “present” is a present. A precious gift we receive every day.

TODAY move lighter on your feet, ease your mind and relieve your heart. Your mind, body and spirit will thank you for it!

Fear-LESS

Spring is always a good time to let go of the old and bring in the new. It seems since January I have been on this path of embracing my Power and letting go of FEAR. The kind of fear I get that feels like a drop in the pit of my stomach…the kind of fear that makes me second guess myself or allow past negative self-defeating thoughts sway my decisions. I know we all feel that way at one point or another. So now, when I feel that type of FEAR, I recognize it and tell my mind and body to choose another feeling. This is a conscious effort. The mind is a powerful tool. I literally have a conversation with myself and say “Maureen, we recognize this feeling and we know what triggers it. We know that FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real and so we know that this is not really the truth of the matter, so let us chose another feeling. Act in a place of Fearlessness”.

That may sound crazy to some of you, but that is what it takes sometimes to shift our energy when we hear those self-defeating thought patterns in our heads. Fear can be what stops you from achieving your best, what stops you from having the love of your life, what stops you from achieving that dream career goal…whatever your “it” is….do NOT let fear take that away from you. Stand in your true power. Know that you already have everything you need to be successful. GOD or whatever force of energy you believe in has you back! You are not in this by yourself. Be fearless, life is too short to not start today! Do not wait until later, or tomorrow or next month or next year. All we have is the present…the rest is not promised. So why not make it the best TODAY you can make it.

When FEAR shows up in your life, I ask you to look at it in the face and say “not today, you no longer have power in my life, and I reject you as False Evidence Appearing Real, right here, right now and always!!!”.

Fear-LESS!! And be Power-FULL !!!


~Namaste

Just Do It!

Spring time is a time to embrace new beginnings. Release old energy and welcome a new attitude. So my challenge to you this spring is to go out there and get what you want. Claim it, and do not let fear stop you from attaining your goal.

Often times, we second guess ourselves and over think a situation instead of just following our natural instincts. We need to trust ourselves more and trust that at our core, we already have everything we need to make the right decision. But we do not know until we try…the worst thing that could happen is someone says “no” but at least we know we gave it our best shot and that’s all we can do. It’s better than not trying and spending the rest of our lives wondering what would have happened “if”…the best case scenario is someone says “yes” and our dream comes true.

I dare you to step in the face of FEAR and chose LOVE. Chose to stand on your own truth and trust that all will be well and it is already DONE. Approach the situation with the end result in mind, let the success you want fuel your intension for your actions. The universe listens to us all the time and will deliver what our thoughts are requesting. So make sure your thoughts are in alignment with your goal/vision. Negative self-talk is like a self for filling prophecy. Turn off the negative messages you have trained your mind to hear and chose to replace it with a positive thought. We are what we think…it is the law of attraction. That is a very powerful thing to have…so use that power for your greater good. Think positive and will your best life.

~Namaste.

Know Who You Are

I read a quote by one of my personal spiritual guru teachers Dr. Wayne Dyer that provided me with the inspiration for this blog. Before I quote him, I want to note that I only write/post blogs that are inspired by a life lesson that has personally moved me. That is why my blog posts are not always on any type of schedule because then the message would be forced so as to meet some kind of deadline. Instead I chose to walk a spiritual path and let the message come when the spirit moves me.

“Understand that you are a piece of God, and since you must be like what you come from, you are lovable, worthy, and God like”. Know who you are.

I am inspired by this quote because after I read it, it resonated with my soul. I indeed was reminded of who I was. Often times we tend to go thru the motions and routines of our everyday lives and forget to stop and recognize who we are when we look in the mirror. I know I am guilty of looking in the mirror and I start to critic what it is I might not like about myself. Wishing I had wash board rack for a stomach for instance…lol. But what I realize is that, in order to truly love ourselves at 100% we have to love everything about ourselves. That includes the Good, Bad and the Ugly. This is in essence because those are the qualities that make us who we are. Our scares from life’s battles are our beauty marks as well. They are what help define our character; they are what tell our ME-story. And as soon as you chose to look at yourself from a place of love, appreciation and gratitude you will find that you will start to breathe easier about not being so hard on yourself.

What we think of ourselves is very powerful. As the saying goes “what a man thinketh of himself, so he becomes”. So if you think you are not beautiful, you will attract that type of energy in the universe and start to confirm your thought. If you think you do not deserve love, you will attract non-loving energy. So, if we can do that with a negative thought... why not turn it around and imagine what we could do with a positive thought? So the next time you are in front of the mirror or are feeling low or feel like someone has put you down or you are beating yourself up about something…remember to think positive thoughts and love yourself in that moment. Love yourself for all that you are and all that has made you who you are. Remember that you come from GOD so there is no way that any part of you is not worth LOVE. God is LOVE and you are from GOD which means you too are LOVE. Remember who you are…stand tall, take a deep breath and ignite your thoughts to imagine what it’s like to return to your SOURCE…bask in that verses your negative moment.

Remember Who You Are.

~Namaste
