Truths

There are all kinds of truths and no one truth is more permanent or real than another. For truths are just beliefs that we hold (either individually or collectively) about our selves and the world around us. They have been reinforced over time through the thoughts we continue to have which creates the illusion of permanency.

But truths are created, not static and therefore can't remain unchanging. They are forever evolving as we ourselves grow and expand. Therefore the truths we hold today may not be our truths tomorrow. And since we are the creators of our truths and get to live them everyday, the question is are your current truths serving you?

Freedom

All people are unique and as such we have our own minds, hearts, bodies, and individual journeys. Because of this, people may not always behave the way we expect which can be difficult at times to accept. But the highest expression of love is to allow others to be who they truly are: No judgments. No expectations. Just freedom to be and live the way they choose.

When we can do this we are in a state of 'allowing'; allowing life to unfold naturally which frees everyone involved to behave and be as they truly are. And in doing so we are granted the same freedom to express our true authentic selves which opens all doors to our greatest potential.

The Beauty in Mirrors

We all have innocence and good within us waiting to be seen. We can feel this goodness when we are with someone who mirrors our highest potential back to us. You know you are in the presence of someone who is doing this when you feel alive around them. They make you feel so comfortable that you are free to be your real, authentic self, without judgment. Someone who no matter what, sees you and accepts you just as you are.

This is a real gift that each of us can give another and has the power to change lives. But when we hold judgments towards someone we loose sight of that person’s true essence. These judgments stop us from seeing the good in a person which is inherent in each of us. When this happens, each person is left depleted and the beauty in the mirror has faded.

Growth

From childhood we are continuously developing our consciousness to become more of who we are. We are in a constant state of expansion and letting go; letting go of ideas, understanding, and beliefs to create more space for new & broader perspectives to come in. This is a natural process that is always in play. So why are so many people uncomfortable with change? Maybe because our discomfort is the momentum needed to push us to the next level of awareness. For without constriction (discomfort) there would be no expansion (growth.)

Positive Sensitivity

Often I hear about how people's sensitivities (to either energy or other people) can make life more challenging. This can only be true if there is something within us that is allowing that struggle to come alive. In other words, we are all sensitive in our own way; but to have a reaction to our sensitivity means something within us has been triggered. And when we look at it from this perspective, there is nothing outside of us to blame for our distress.

This is such a strange concept for many people to grasp (especially for those sensitive people who have been programmed to believe that their sensitivity is a weakness.) But the very opposite is true; our sensitivity is a source of power because it can bring forth information about our surroundings plus be a wonderful mirror of what is happening within.

So the key to using your sensitivity as a source of power is to recognize that everything starts from within and ripples out (not the other way around.) And that our sensitivity is meant to empower us not drain us. From this perspective we can shift from a place of 'reacting' to our environment to being responsive!

My Thoughts on Forgiveness...

Forgiveness is an act of kindness that we may extend to ourselves or another. Yet it may be one of the hardest lessons we have to learn, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. It requires great strength, understanding, compassion and patience. It is a state of complete acceptance of ‘what is’ and transmutation of any previous judgments or fears.

It is also the transcendence of any self-judgment through forgiveness for oneself. We are all here to learn forgiveness. To do so, there has to be something within our lives to forgive and this is not always easy. But to truly forgive another, we have to forgive ourselves. For forgiveness is not about freeing us from being judged, it’s about freeing the judgment from us so that we can be free!

Encouragement

No one can deny you anything. You can only do that to yourself. But this is because you don’t fully see the power that is in you just waiting to be discovered. The same creative energy that builds mountains is within you - whether you are aware of it or not. There is nothing you can’t have or achieve if you only believed it were so. In fact, there is nothing lacking in you at all except awareness!

All parts of the mind want to be fully witnessed and integrated back into wholeness. This includes both the conscious and unconscious beliefs. Since the unconscious beliefs are hidden, every time we bring awareness to the unconscious mind we are moving one step closer to wholeness. Then the energy stored within the unconscious mind can be freed up to create that of which you truly want. It’s like a chemical reaction; when the unconscious and conscious beliefs meld into one, energy is freed up to create.

Let me give you an example: Say you have a conscious intention to manifest a new job that inspires & motivates you. At first you feel enthusiasm and encouragement about the upcoming change. But unconsciously you believe that it is impossible to make a living in a job that you love. Since the unconscious mind is a million times more powerful than the conscious mind you soon give up on the idea before it has even arrived.

The end result is you are left feeling discouraged and defeated about your creative abilities. A stalemate of energy between the conscious and unconscious has just blocked your creative flow. In essence what you have done is moved your energy farther away from that of which you intended because of your unconscious beliefs. You have just ‘reconfirmed’ to your unconscious mind that you cannot have that new, inspiring job. And through the Law of Attraction, what you believe you achieve!

This is called a “vibrational contradiction” where you intend for one thing but attract another. The blocked energy needed to create is not available for use which inhibits the flow of creation. But if you had a tool to bring the unconscious beliefs back into alignment with the conscious intentions, you would then have the power to manifest anything you want. That very tool is awareness and it holds the key to creative freedom.

So if awareness is the key and the unconscious mind are those beliefs not yet witnessed, than it only makes sense to explore the unconscious mind and reveal the hidden gems within. Then the limiting, self-defeating beliefs no longer have the power to block your creative potential.

An inspiring quote by John O’Donohue captures the power of witnessing: “One of the most beautiful gifts in the world is the gift of encouragement. When someone encourages you, that person helps you over a threshold you might otherwise never have crossed on your own.” This is because when someone encourages us they see in us something we cannot – our untapped potential. It’s like they shine a flashlight on our creative potential and witness for us what we have yet to witness in ourselves. The result is nothing short of miraculous!

So if you are feeling discouraged or unenthusiastic in life it is only your beliefs that are in your way and awareness is your key! BreakThrough and BMC are powerful tools that help shine that light of awareness on your unconscious mind. And in doing so, you will begin to feel the freedom and passion that comes from exploring your untapped potential!

May you find the power within to create the life you really wish to have.

Namaste,
Angela
