Are you pushing away the very thing you want most? (Say what?!) …

Today’s topic is one that keeps coming up over and over as we learn what it really takes to manifest the BIG stuff!

So I have a question for you… Do you ever feel like you’re pushing away the very thing you want most?

Now, when I say “want”, I’m talking about your desires that come from within, not a “want” from a place of lack or Ego.

Here’s the truth: Whether you desire something simple or big, the CREATIVE PROCESS to bring it into your physical reality is the EXACT SAME!

Stay with me…

Think about something simple you want, let’s say planting a new section in your garden. (Easy to manifest, right?) Now think about something that feels big to you, perhaps having 10 new clients or acquiring $1M. (Does it feel ‘harder’?) Again, the manifestation process is the exact same – Thoughts to Feelings to Action turn into Results.

SO why do we have such an issue bringing in the BIG stuff???

When we go from the simple to BIG, our perception changes. We get in the way and start thinking it’s going to be hard, we question it, or have doubt or fear around it. This is RESISTANCE. And when we have resistance, we push it away.

The key is to change your perception of your BIG desire! When you learn to change your perception, you will change your reality!

This week’s VLOG is all about understanding why it seems so much harder to manifest the bigger stuff.

This is a big one to get!!

Just remember: Bottom line – change your perception, and change your reality!

The #1 manifestation challenge and how to overcome it

The #1 manifestation challenge and how to overcome it

Do you ever feel like you are “doing the do’s” (vision board, guided meditations, etc.), yet things just aren’t coming to fruition?

This is likely because you are coming from a “lack” consciousness.

It’s easy to manifest when things aren’t too far out of our comfort zone. It’s when we are in unfamiliar territory with our desires, that things can seem more challenging.

But, here’s the deal. It’s the exact same process. Our thoughts turn into things.

Thoughts – Feelings – Actions -Results

So, what’s getting in your way? YOU are! (please don’t shoot the messenger!)

In this week’s VLOG, I pinpoint how you can move the needle and make the subtle shift from “lack” consciousness to a consciousness of presence. 

Get out of your head and move into present moment awareness. Be still. Be here. Be now. Because, if you are in the past or future, you aren’t here to receive!

Yet, when you are in present-moment awareness, it has everything you desire on the feeling level.

So, how often do you practice being present?

Watch now and learn how to overcome the biggest manifestation challenge most people bump up against. It’s time to get out of your head and recognize that there is no lack. You are already whole here and now.

Letting go: How to fully process your emotions so they don’t get stuck in your emotional body

Letting go: How to fully process your emotions so they don’t get stuck in your emotional body

When it comes to dealing with unwanted emotions…it’s safe to say that most of us don’t process our feelings very well.

So, this week’s VLOG is about how to fully honour and process your emotions, and let them go, so they don’t get stuck and lodged in your emotional body.

As we expand and begin to recognize our wholeness and abundance, at some point we will bump up against our ‘stuff’, which in turn will bring up all sorts of ‘unwanted’ feelings.

And, since emotion is energy in motion…those feelings you don’t process and let go of, will end up taking you out!

So, what do you do when feelings of grief, sadness, shock, anger, sorrow, guilt, or shame start to ruminate inside?

Most of us do one of two things…

  • Indulge in the story and give it energy by feeding it and keeping it alive, or…
  • Repress and ignore it, which keeps it alive and gives it energy.

Both of these patterns feed the emotion and affirm it in our energy body.

To return to your wholeness and live your most expanded self, you want to…

…fully feel the feelings, with NO story, NO label, NO judgment. JUST THE FEELING. This is where the ego dies.

You must separate the story from the event, so you don’t become the mind/body connection to the event.

Honour ALL of yourself, even the unwanted emotions. This is the path to becoming a powerful, conscious creator!

Watch this week’s VLOG to find out how you can feel it to heal it. Then reply to this email and let me know what you think.

 

HARNESS YOUR POWER by Applying the Universal Law of Cause & Effect

HARNESS YOUR POWER by Applying the Universal Law of Cause & Effect

by | Awakening, Own Your Truth, Radical Self Care

Lately I’ve been talking a lot about the importance of being in your power. This means living more deliberately; creating abundance in all areas of your life, love and business. But here’s the paradox. Most of us don’t realize that we are already abundant, whole, and powerful beyond measure.

We’ve forgotten.

I want to shine the light on the Universal Laws that have the potential to significantly affect your power and abundance in business, money, and relationships.

Think of it like your cheat sheet to life. They govern the universe… and you can learn to use them to your advantage!

Today, let’s talk about the Law of Cause and Effect.

The Law of Cause and Effect states that every effect (result) has a specific and predictable cause. Every cause or action has a specific and predictable effect. This means that everything that we currently have in our lives is an effect that is a result of a specific cause.

Let’s break it down…

The Effect is our result – the reality or what we’ve created in our lives. The Cause is what caused it.

It’s easy to make the connection between cause and effect when it’s obvious like a dropping a glass (cause) and it breaks (effect). It’s also easy to see the cause and effect when the results are ‘good’. That outcome was what we wanted so we caused that to happen.

BUT what about when we DON’T like our results?

That’s when it becomes easier to blame someone or something else, or justify the outcome with excuses.

Yet when we do this, we are violating the Law of Cause and Effect.

So what? You might be thinking.

Well coming back to being in our power. When it comes to Cause and Effect, there is SO MUCH POWER when we take 100% responsibility!

Knowing the old saying, we reap what we sow, puts the power back in our hands to sow (cause) something different.

Not happy with your current reality around money, clients, relationships, or health? Choose an area you want to change the most.

With love, know that you have created this reality. Now go back and pinpoint the cause of this reality.

Remember: Thoughts turn into Feelings turn into Vibrations turn into Results

So if you reverse engineer – from the effect to the cause – you will see you need to look at your thoughts around this topic.

For example, you might want to make more money in your business, but the idea of creating more financial abundance brings up thoughts of worthiness.

Of to get the result of more money in your business (effect), you first need to shift those thoughts of worthiness (cause). This will help lead you to the results you seek.

Now that you understand the Law of Cause and Effect, you can shortcut your efforts and begin to work directly with this law, instead of against it, by being more aware of how you are creating your own reality.

DO YOUR FEELINGS GUIDE YOU OR TAKE YOU OFF COURSE?

DO YOUR FEELINGS GUIDE YOU OR TAKE YOU OFF COURSE?

Do your feelings guide you on your life path, or take you off course?

Actually, they do both!

The key is to learn to know and recognize the difference between real feelings and misleading feelings; between being guided on your life path, or taken off course.

Let’s start with being taken off course…

There is a lot of misleading information out there about using your feelings to guide you in making decisions. You often hear, “Well, how do you feel about that?” or “Let your feelings guide you.” This can be great advice OR it can be the worst advice… you must look beyond face value.

There are times when feelings are not a good guidance system; often they’re run by your ego.

Consider these common “feelings: ”I don’t feel like getting out of bed today. I don’t feel like attending that workshop I signed up for. I don’t feel like working today. I don’t feel like having a salad for dinner, but I DO feel like deep fried chicken and a big bucket of fries. I don’t feel like going to the gym, but I DO feel like laying on the couch instead.

These feelings are clearly sending poor messages… or are they?

Let’s dive deeper…

Consider the example of not wanting to get out of bed. You may be tired, but the truth is that you need to get your ass out of bed.

OR

Maybe your truth is that it’s in your highest good to actually stay in bed and honour your body because you’re truly burnt-out and need some down-time.

Can you FEEL the difference?

It’s not always obvious. And sometimes the lines can get fuzzy and you may blur the lines with your thinking, feeling, rationalizing, justifying, and guilting… and then come down hard on yourself.

If the latter feeling is your truth and you get your ass out of bed, you’ve completely dismissed and ignored your feelings all together. You got out of bed because your guidance system was based on what others think; what you “should” be doing (ie. going to work despite being sick or run-down).

Overriding YOU and what is most important to you and your well-being, is a surefire way to keep you off course from living what’s in your highest good.

To learn to listen to your true, guided feelings takes work. It means learning to recognize and know what’s true for you; to be tuned into YOU.

It’s getting clarity so you can know exactly what to do in each and every moment.. to be guided to live your highest path.

When I was studying as an acupressure therapist, we had a saying, “your body is always talking to you, are you listening?”

So just how do you learn to listen and to know when your feelings are a good guidance, and when they are veering you off course?

My mom used to say, “I have a gut feeling.” Call it intuition, a little nudge, a knowing that’s coming from that deeper part of you that is guiding and supporting you. These feelings never steer you wrong.

Sometimes it’s obvious, but other times it’s not so clear. So you need to learn to tell the difference between your ego and your essence. As you practice, you can begin to sense if it’s a fleeting feeling (your ego) OR a knowing feeling (essence) from the quieter, deeper, guiding part of you.

Let me share an example with you. At the end of January, I had a strong feeling to pull my retreat out of my 3-month High Powered Living program. Why? I had no idea at the time. It didn’t make sense. Every intellectual thought I had told me to hold a retreat for my group. But the feeling I had was undeniable, so I knew I had to listen. (I’m sure my mom was looking down saying, “Way to use your gut, Janine”.)

Fast forward one month and the Covid-19 pandemic hit… and it all made sense.

Knowing the difference between your real feelings and misleading feelings guides you with greater ease through life.

And who doesn’t want a cheat sheet?
