Up for a Challenge?

   It’s storming outside, one of those really great storms with plenty of steady rain and just enough frequent, but distant, thunder and lightning to make it energizing.  I’m never as calm as I am when it’s raining.  Something inside me feels at peace, and I just want to curl up with a blanket and listen.  I don’t feel motivated to do much of anything but relax; maybe I’ll read a book,  at least until I fall asleep and take a nap, and then maybe I’ll finish up that creative project that I was never able to complete.  The day is mine, if I choose to take it.  At this point in my life, I finally take advantage of the calm I feel during these storms and really absorb it, replenishing my reserve of “me time” and relaxation. When I finally allow myself to do exactly what I want on these days, including nothing at all, I feel so grateful to myself.  Yes, Grateful!  It’s a strange feeling at first, but it makes me realize how often I’ve deprived myself of this peace throughout my life.   Right now, in THIS storm, I feel like writing.  I’ve found that usually what I really have an urge to do is exactly what I should be doing.  Since I’ve begun to follow these inklings, I’ve been guided to much more peace and happiness then I’ve ever experienced before. 

   This morning I had things lined up for my day, a few errands, some planning and organizing, to get lots accomplished, then the storm rolled in… Nature was sending me a message!  I’m altering my plans and I’m taking the storm up on its suggestion of staying home.   Back in the days when we were more connected to nature by trade and life in general, rain forced some much deserved down time.   Contrary to popular belief, we DO need down time, to ourselves, with nothing to do and nowhere to go. A time to clear the mind and refresh the spirit!  The storm has created the time, and my spirit tells me the ‘what to do’ by placing the suggestions in my mind.  I know these suggestions are from my spirit because when I think about doing them, I feel joy and peace, happy and calm, like I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else doing anything else at this very moment.  I’ve just successfully followed my intuition, and I have to say that my intuition is always right!

   Ok, so you try….

   Imagine it is afternoon time on a weekend. You have nothing to do, no pressures or obligations tugging at you to get accomplished. You can do whatever you want.  You’re home alone and it’s storming outside. You don’t have any good reason to fight the elements so you choose to stay home.   Right now, you can choose to do that thing that makes you the most happy and at peace, what is it? If you don’t quite know, think about it…what do you really WANT to do or not do, if that’s the case?  Forget about what you think you should do, or what other people would suggest you do.  There’s no one else around to know about your day and no one will care to ask about it later.   Now, think about what would bring you joy or make you calm down and take away your stress? That’s it!  The idea brings a smile to your heart and you relax at the thought of it. Next chance you get, you should do just that thing! You’ve listened to your intuition and your spirit is telling you exactly what you need to feel better. You’ve moved your ego and your expectations out of the way and left yourself completely open to being inspired.   Just let that inspiration flow and allow yourself to be happy!

Intention Prayers & Requests

About 3 months ago I bought myself a money tree!  It was part of an intention prayer that I made to bring prosperity and abundance into my life!  I potted it and set it out with all the change I had in my wallet and some crystals with abundance properties.  I wrote down all of my abundance wishes on pieces of paper, folded them up, and placed them around my tree!  It's a physical representation of my financial hopes and desires.  Every time I water my money tree I think about the fact that I'm nourishing my intentions to be financially abundant! 
Over the last 3 months my little tree has grown to be twice as tall and my financial situation has slowly but surely improved!  I've had many issues and beliefs come up to be cleared, and I wholeheartedly believe that my intentions and my request to the Universe is being answered!  Ask and you shall receive...and pray and be open to receiving from ALL kinds of places :-)

Introduction to Willow.

This is Willow...the cutest devil cat ever! She can be purring and growling at the same time, now that's a talent! One minute she's crawling in my lap, the next minute she's hissing and running into the other room.  My personal favorite is when she runs up the stairs with a sound that I can only describe as being possessed! She's amazingly affectionate and at times I can do just about anything to her and she doesn't care one bit.  Randomly, she'll freak out and bite me and then instantly knows it was bad and gets all upset (growling the whole time, of course).  She fetches hair ties and then puts them IN her water bowl, for what reason, I have no idea! LOL... When I come home, the first thing she does is smell my shoes and lay on top of them.  If I'm holding ANYTHING in my hand, it becomes something she wants me to pet her with...and if I'm not already doing it, she'll make sure she makes it happen by climbing in my face!  Her favorite "toy" in the apartment is an empty cardboard box that sits upstairs in the loft (she scratches on the inside like she's trying to get out?...quite interesting)  She is the only cat I've ever seen that stands her ground no matter what, she will not run or hide, she may however freak the hell out...it's really like scardy cat guard dog behavior?? Peculiar... I've decided she thinks she's a tiger in a little kitty's body and I'm guessing that gets a little frustrating for her.  She loves crystals, has to sit in the middle of whatever I'm doing ( as evidenced by the pic below), and loves to be around when I'm practicing Theta.  She lays on her back all the time and I love kissing her fluffy tummy when she does...and she won't move an inch! She's not always the nicest to her sister, Daisy, but deep down she would be really sad if Daisy weren't here (ok let's be honest, she can be a huge B to Daisy....poor DooDoo).  And she sure is the snuggliest kitty in the mornings when she crawls under the covers to "spoon"...she's EXTREMELY lucky she's so cute or she'd be in trouble...stinker!!  

She doesn't quite make Sense ;-)

Gratefulness :-)

I've been doing Theta, Theta, Lots of Theta and I LOVE it!!
I just love practicing Theta healing...nothing in my life has made me feel more helpful and positively influential in people's lives.  I feel wonderfully energized after every session and look forward to the next one.  I am so incredibly luck to be able to do something that doesn't even remotely feel like work.  It would be more than I could imagine if this could be the only thing that I do (order to the Universe).  I guess this evening I just wanted to express how grateful I am to have found something I love so much! Yay!!

It's the Will Not the Way...

We've all heard the saying above "It's the Will, not the Way", but I never understood it until now.

We are taught that we can manifest our dreams in one of two ways:

My Will OR God's Will

I've gone back and forth in life feeling like I have to choose between the two.  When one isn't working then I switch to the other and see how that goes.  I either put in 100% effort and tried to force my exact vision to happen, or I put in no effort and left it up to God to decide what I want and what's best.  Finding that neither of these really worked too well, I finally came upon a HUGE realization!!  In actuality, the effective form of manifestation in life is

My Will IN God's WAY

It is our responsibility to decide what we want in life...money, love, happiness...and also to put in ANY effort to get what we want (doesn't matter if that effort actually "works", or is correct, or even the right direction in which to go).  Any  effort will do as long as we are completely open to how/where/when those things...money, love, happiness... come back to us.  It may be from potentially unexpected places.  It's our lack of openness to the WAY we get those things, that keeps us from getting what we want.  We limit God by deciding how we get it.  

So from now one....decide on the WHAT and don't think too much about the HOW...just do whatever it is you know to do from your limited experience, and then be open to all the gifts of the Universe however they come to you. This is true CO-CREATION...

A Change in Communication...

Recently I've been realizing how much I say that doesn't need to be said when I'm conversing with people...

I find myself getting so excited when I feel like I have something to add to a situation that I just HAVE to respond!  It is all to easy for me to analyze another person's situation and determine the perfect direction for them; to see what they're not seeing because they're too close and emotionally involved to see it themselves.  It's hard to resist giving my input in a situation even when it's not requested, and I see now how this can sometimes be the exact opposite of helpful.  At times, I don't have the whole story...sometimes I piece things together and come to conclusions that are not entirely accurate.  When this happens, I find myself interrupting people's thoughts and even stopping them from coming to their own solutions in their life.  The more I've found myself biting my tongue, the more rewarding I've found interactions with people.  I find that when I wait for people to ASK for the question they need answered, I'm actually a lot more helpful to them and I usually know the appropriate amount of information with which to give them a better direction.  I've heard the statement "Most of us don't listen to understand, we listen to respond", and this is so much more the truth for me than I've ever realized.  My good and helpful intentions were always there, but my technique was a little outdated....so I'm making a change!!

It is my intention from now on to listen more and talk less!  I'm going to try to ask more questions and really listen to understand.  I'm going to wait for people to ask for my input before I give it, and when I do it will be without analysis and for the purpose of helping them to find more happiness in their lives.  

Listening more makes Sense!!

Transmuting Fears Meditation

As I was going through my few weeks of overwhelming fear, I happened to come across a guided meditation for transmuting fears in Light/Love.... It's only 15 minutes, and when I was feeling exceptionally anxious and fearful, I just played it over a few times until I fell asleep.  In my experience, this was a very powerful meditation!  I felt very strongly like my irrational fears turned into something that filled me with peace, love and power.  I thought I would attach the link below in case any of you feel like you're going through something that's making you fearful or physically/emotional sick.  Also, if you are trying your hardest to be positive about something that just keeps pulling you down the road of "what ifs", doubts and negative possibilities, this meditation will help to focus your mind back to the positive and increase your power to attract wonderful things into your life.  Here's to living life free of fear!

 Releasing your Sense of Fear...

Psychic pets

Have you ever noticed how your pets just know when you need them?  How they can tell when you're sad? Or when you need to snuggle, or play, or cheer up? How about when they sit by the door when you're on your way home? Have you seen them distract you while you're having an argument with a family member, or maybe they get out of your way? How about when they can tell before you pick them up that you're going to do it, and run away just in the nick of time!?! How they hide from the rain before you are even aware a storm is coming? Have you ever thought about how all of this is possible? 

We all know that animals have a natural instinct for survival, and we agree that we also have this instinct. The behaviors mentioned above, however, are not based on survival needs, these actions are all reactions to you and their environment...your mood, emotions, and energy.  They are important for the animal to know what they of what they should be AWARE.  So what is the explanation for these abilities?  INTUITION, psychic connection, reading your energy!  Animals all are able, to tap into these abilities.  They trust their intuition because they have no logic or other animal telling them they're wrong.  Do you also notice that animals trust each others' intuition as well?  The more they use their intuition, the more they trust it and recognize the feelings.  Puppy's for example, will trust the intuition of other dogs first before they learn what they themselves are actually sensing.  The more they experience the feeling, the more they'll pay attention to it, learn from it, and then be able to use that in the future and trust themselves. When they hone their intuitive skills, they are able to sense our physical energy getting closer, read our intentions, feel our emotions, and sense a change in nature before it arrives. Animals are never taught to doubt their intuition ....WE ARE! 

If animals have this gift, why wouldn't we?  As kids, we are most often taught to trust only what we can see, hear, or feel with our logical senses.  We start to ignore and discount what those indications, visions, voices, and feelings are telling us, and after a while, they go away.  It's too bad that society tells us that listening to the connected part of ourselves is "crazy" or "evil".  We willingly get rid of our intuitive abilities out of fear of judgement from others.  Turning off our intuition and psychic connections is a choice, and we can choose to turn it back on!

In my experience, life is much more magical and fun since I've chosen to pay attention to my intuition...even cooler than that, I can communicate with nature in ways I'd never imagined, and notice that nature communicates with ME.  I started off like a puppy, reading, researching and opening my mind to messages that I hadn't seen before, and after a while I started to notice all kinds of messages coming in many different ways.  I slowly began to trust these messages and when I did, the more they proved to be correct.  Everyday I'm honing my skills.  The more I do it, the easier it becomes, and the more connected I feel to everyone and everything in the Universe!! You can do it too....all you have to do is decide you want to "see", "feel" and "hear" what is not obvious to the eye, hand or ear.  Just ask the question...you may be surprised where the answer comes from! 

We can take a hint from our pets on this one! :-) Accept your gift...we ALL have it. 
BTW...That little "feeling" of recognition or resonance that you are had while reading this, the "knowing" that the message is very possibly correct, the memories of childhood or your own recent experiences with your "sense" of what's going on around you....the one underneath the doubt and resistance....that's  it!!!

And then their was light...Phew!

I'm OUT OF THE TUNNEL...and there was a light at the end of it! Yay!!

My three weeks of walking into the fear and darkness has come to a close...I feel amazingly better and reassured it was indeed a tunnel and not a cave.  :-) This experience has helped me to see how scary and dark our beliefs can make us feel, and it was very tempting just to throw my hands up and try to go back to the way I had done things before.  The good thing is that I couldn't help but to keep moving forward because I'm not the same person I used to be...Theta has transformed me from within so I couldn't go back!  It also was hard not to wallowed in the fear and sadness that I was feeling.  If I had experienced this without having Theta healing in my life, I honestly don't know what I would have done.  I'm so amazingly grateful for the gift of Theta that allowed me to take a chance and hope that if I kept looking deeper, then it would eventually bring me out the other side.    It was rough, scary and VERY emotional, but it was worth it. Right now I'm feeling very optimistic about things.  Thank Creator/God/Source/the Universe/the amazing light energy that is in all of us for helping me through it!!

I know this will also help to make me a better Theta Healer <3

Sense of Gratitude,

Jess
