10 Tips to allow reality to shift
Human experience is about reacting and responding to events arise in day-to-day life. Every moment, we each have choices about what to perceive and how to feel. That is, notions of 'success' and 'failure' are shifting based on how we understand and apply our true potential. Our physical experience of relationships and activities changes based on level of consciousness.
Imagine, for a moment, you have the power to close the gap between 'here and there', to resolve your perception of separation between who you are and what you wish to be. You might imagine this gives you the ability to create miracles at will, to instantly manifest what you want, when you want it. Yet, what if there s more to this process? What if its not about controlling outcomes? Reflect on these 10 tips to allow your reality to shift;
1. Choose to enjoy something where you are
This includes being okay with experiencing illnesss, conflict, emotions, imbalance or whatever shakes you up. Being okay with things involves stepping outside events, being willing to see everything as an observer. Only then are you more objective, able to see blessings right now.
2. Intuit what is occurring serves a Larger Agenda
When you think things do not seem to be going well, it is helpful to take yourself out of the picture. This helps you realize seeing things personally is an incomplete way of looking at life. This enables you to view work or anything you do as serving the Soul's (not ego's) agenda. It is also ego (personality aspirations) that can get in the way of the Larger Soul (divine) Agenda. Every happening can be used to serve the agenda of the Soul. Seeing this way consistently is moving through stages of belief, hoping, faith, awakening, awareness and knowing.
3. Remember what acceptance feels like
Accepting what you see as your human conditions is not about being resigned or giving up. It involves the willingness to be aware of the nature of your own resistance, why it exists and how it limits life. Seeing reasons for resistance allows one to surrender to what exists beyond this.
4. Know you experience what is for your highest good
From the moment you discover the feeling of non-resistance or non-opposition linked to acceptance, you are open to infinite future possibilities. This is about letting go of what the logical mind thinks it wants, and making room for the experience of what mind does not yet see.
5. Recognize the basic instinct is not survival
This is huge. The basic urge to see inter-connectedness and divinity in all things is conditioned out of humans at birth when they adopt the illusion of separation. Yet, the feeling of Oneness with all life cannot be completely forgotten. Glimpses of the Stars, Sun, Velestial bodies and oceans evoke awe in everyone. Deeper insights about air, water, fire, energy arise in time.
5. See perfection in whatever is occurring
To master oneself, one stops arguing or resisting what is happening on all levels. When we stop arguing with ourselves and love life, we can relax and savor every moment, come what may, laughing and crying more because we simply allow emotions to flow and be as they are. Inner peace arises as a feeling as we see and accept perfection in everything including, ourselves.
6. Grasp the subtlety of Law of Attraction
The world appears in our perception to reflect qualities inside ourselves. The more needy or insecure we feel, the more we wish to accomplish or acquire in the external world. And yet, with acceptance of divine perfection comes a surrender to one's Soul purpose. What arises is something unforeseen yet better than what was envisioned when attached to results.
7. Explore how long you can stare
Ever see how long you can stare at your reflection into a glass mirror? Why turn away? The eyes are windows into the soul because they echo how authentic you are, how blissful the truth is. The eyes reveal everything we see is identical to something we have already done in some form. Everything is understood. Stare at something or someone long enough and true being reveals itself. You fall in love with your own wholeness. This is why so often people look away. What if staring at yourself is a guide to living more authentically (from the soul or heart)?
8. Know nothing is unclear to the Soul
This is the stage where you are not only excited to get out of bed every day, but as you grow more conscious, your actions align with the desire of All of life. Awakening to your own Soul vision paves the way to evolve into grander versions of the Self. This is not about inflated (ego-driven )versions of ourselves, but being on purpose with the Soul vision of the most expanded version of you. Feelings are a reliable guage.
9. Recognize miracles are within reach
At some stage, it grows apparent miracles are within reach and each of us is a miracle worker. Each of us has within us everything required to live a life of complete happiness and fulfillment. Sometimes our filters simply get in the way. Thus, the processes of letting go, unlearning and shifting from seeing quantity to quality of life are milestones within reach for All.
10. Know you exist for reason that transcends physicality
With perfect timing, you begin to reflect on the purpose of life, the purpose of this moment and what you choose to do with it as part of a bigger picture. At some point, it dawns that life is a spiritual rather than a purely physical experience. Every moment is a window or stargate of opportunity to decipher and mould the agenda of your spiritual self that can only be experienced in the realm of the physical. The whole point of creating a physical life (incarnating) is to have a vehicle for living out a spiritual agenda. How do you feel about where you are as a worldbridger?
Let the universe do its thing
People ask me many questions and forget the universe is always doing its thing. A common query is, why hold an event in Greece? Synchronicity guides you when you allow it. Intention is an invisible field of energy that links everything. You are the force and can recall what it is to go with the Flow.
For anyone who has read my books or knows the story of how I met the man who became my husband in passing on a public bus in a foreign country, my life experience reveals the more I trust my heart, the more the universe gives me reason to trust. As Neale Donald Walsh reminds us, everything that unfolds in our lives unfolds in perfect order, including all souls involved, so we grow exactly how we are ready to grow. Only perfection exists. You accept and see it, or not.
If ever you listen to the mind, it echoes that following intuition is a risk that evokes fear, doubt, and creates a like vibration that repels or blocks what the soul reaches for. Yet, to trust the heart is to be divinely-guided, based on knowing a wider sense of things the mind cannot grasp. Being guided by vibrations of the unknown allows you to notice strings of synchronicity, manifest what the heart knows is real for you.
So, why the workshop? It all began with an invite to a wedding of a family friend I've known since childhood. This plants a seed. The familiar "What if?" scenario plays out in the mind. As it is, the bride is Greek and its easier to organize the wedding in Greece than to get relatives to travel. For anyone who has seen the hit film, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," I am currently unsure how much input the bride and groom are actually having in the event itself, other than the honeymoon destination, but humour is definitely felt in frequent emails being circulated to any friends and family interested in the event, whether or not confirmed guests. The humour never ends!! The bolded end message on every email impacts my subconscious- Go to Greece- OPA!
Next, my dad decides to attend this wedding, which is like the seed becoming a seedling. My kids have not yet seen him this year and he is not coming to Australia again for a while. My daughter just started walking. Both kids love to hug grandpa! Greece is closer than Canada. We can acculumate air miles! You get my growing interest in embarking on an adventure with two kids in tow!?
The child-like spontaneity within me is never really lost, and can you imagine this feeling is intensified by by watching the Mama Mia musical film. Its no coincidence it was made on the Island of Rhodes, go figure! It feels like I am walking into a fairytale until I recall that like everyone, I am always creating my own.
On top of this, a Facebook friend in Athens hears that I contemplate coming overseas and puts me in touch with her friend, who happens to be the owner of a seaside hotel, the perfect venue for a weekend workshop. Travel to this venue from Athens itself is easy. The route allows participants to savor key landmarks and breath-taking sea vistas. As well, they offer me amazing group prices for accomodation, to arrange babysitting for my kids, as well as to arrange a bus to take participants to nearby sacred sites of interest to my event. Key websites put the event 'out there.' People even find me through unforeseen channels. I do not have to know how this happens. I simply surrender to the universe and express infinite appreciation. (Details easily fall into place:)
All-the-while, I am guided to a website about ancient Greek ruins. It mirrors geometry I just painted in my watercolour book. On impulse, I flip back through recent paintings and begin to see a map of images guiding me to specific sites in Greece. Incredible! Low and behold, the first image I click on linked to the hotel site shows me the ancient ruin pictured on the cover of the Greece tour guide in my lap. (The invisible energy field gives clues I see as a string of synchronicities.)
This said, I head out to a local Saturday market and notice the sign along the road to pick Chestnuts is in both Greek and English. How often have I passed it? The original seed that grew into a seedling is now like a tree planting roots, growing branches and leaves that tickle my funny bone. No wonder Greek recipes are coming into my scope and I feel impulses to cook more greek food. I am drawn to listen and dance to greek music, even watch a Greek film. Why is it now I am just noticing I am growing greek eggplants in my backyard? Why am I reading a memoir about a Greek woman living in Melbourne who is teaching me to rediscover edible "weeds" in my garden? Greek connections keep arising, turning my life upside down or right-side up, depending on how I view things.
On top of all this, the Greece chapter in my coming book, related to timeless wisdom of ancient cultures, symbols, sacred geometry and being in the Flow of the universe, is related to what is unfolding. I am evidently taking this book to a whole new level. The book is writing itself just like the universe unfolds itself without "you" or "me". My travel to over sixty countries continues to allow me to expand into more. Even flights that open up offer a route only the divine could orchestrate. Infinite abundance strikes again. Sense momentum building?
This is just the tip of the iceberg of what I am experiencing. When it comes to synchronicity, people you tell about events you view as "inter-connected" do not always feel the same way as you do or see exactly what you see, but what matters is what you know in the heart, what you tune into and feel is real. The human is conditioned to tune out or ignore inner knowing. Letting the universe do its thing is allowing the universe to provide evidence for what you as a smaller version of the universe, knows is not only possible but real.
We are all divine creators or "Gods" choosing a human experience. On one level, the purpose of our lives is what we decide. We choose how to respond to everything that unfolds whether or not we accept part of us creates it for soul growth. On another level, the human exists to align with highest being. Many routes exist to be here. Something beyond you is a reliable guide. Let the universe do its thing. Do what feels is right. Know everything unfolds perfectly. No such thing as coincidence.
Whatever your view and choices, no encounter is unplanned, no event, relationship or opportunity separate. Everything in the universe runs under universal law. You notice it or you do not. Align with what you love, with what ignites a glow inside. Being conscious of growing momentum, inner harmony and wholeness is knowing miracles are the norm. Hear the inner music.
3 Ways to know truth for yourself
Everything in life is a pointer that invites you to experience greater clarity. Imagine you are a mirror and choose to polish it. Ask yourself what it is to feel liberated. This is grasped in relation to its opposite. You measure heartfelt wisdom through direct experience. Explore how it feels.
1) Let go of your reasons. You are your own judge and jury. Life gives you all the evidence to confirm what you value. Be aware of how you navigate through life. What represents your compass and reference points? Let them go. The helm of the ship knows how to steer itself.
2) Allow the Self to disappear. Be aware of what you cling to and how you create stepping stones or maps to follow in life. Ponder the possibility that you do things for no reason. Only the truth knows why things happen. The mind can only imagine ideas of the truth. You cannot change something using the same level of consciousness that creates it. Something sees beyond.
3) Say nothing. See everything. Nature is an infinite spectrum of miracles. You are a telescope. What you see is limited by filters. See them as they are and they dissolve instantly.
Miracles can be obsolete
Miracles strike many people as extraordinary events. You may associate them with healing the sick against the odds. You may sense they symbolize a natural sign of forgiveness, freedom from fear, or overcoming obstacles. You may feel they inspire awe and appreciation, remind you of being loved. Whatever your view, you may feel what you are taught abot miracles is increasingly irrelevant. How could that be?
What happens as you realize every moment has the potential to be a brilliant moment, that every day has the potential to be a brilliant day? This means miracles are not maybe once in a lifetime experiences. What happens as you begin to sense miracles are ordinary and normal, that being one is like seeing through the lies you tell yourself? Deep down, you know everyone has the power to do great things. You know you have the power to touch people you have never met. In fact, you already are. This is about being open to recognizing truth amongst all the lies. Awaken and Be your Dream.
"Miracles are not contrary to nature, but contrary to what we know about nature."
