Intuition Fruition

Where do your opinions come from?  About yourself - about the world around you?  How did you come to perceive this world, this universe in the way that you do?  I remember when I was young, I would have these little intuitive "blips" (if you will) little things that my heart, my soul was telling me.  I would express these "blips" but others would seemingly discount them.  Deep down, I knew them to be true, now this wasn't truth as in fact, however, this was the kind of truth that comes from feeling versus thinking.

These blips didn't give me all the answers, but they did give me my first insight to universal truth.  This is what I'll call it for differentiating purposes.  Fact truth v. universal truth.  Thinking v. feeling, however not to be necessarily be confused with emotion, as emotion can be triggered by thought.  As I was saying, the thinking world around me made me question these blips.  Inside there was a part of me who knew this to be true, that these blips were not just around for no apparent reason - I knew that they were truth, but I began to question myself and doubt these blips.  I still had these truths inside of me, but I questioned them.  I came into an internal conflict with myself and due to the inner belief I had that I was "wrong," the affect that this doubt has on me propelled me into further doubt.  There were times where I was able to dismiss this doubt, but after a couple of happenings where I was "proven wrong" by my own set of standards on what was "right" and what was "wrong," my self doubt grew and the internal conflict grew to the point where I froze in fear - not knowing which guidance, which "route" to take.  I found myself consumed with thought and unable to take action.  It was here that a series of events led me to question these beliefs.  Where did they come from?  Was it social constructs?  Was it my peers, my inner circle?  Was it in the past?  Was it a stranger's experience?  Was it things I was seeing on TV, taking in others' opinions and facts as fact, when my heart knew otherwise?  When you want to find the truth that lies inside you, ask yourself these questions and dig deep to find the root of these beliefs.  Your heart is your best guide and these blips I was getting and still get come from this same space.

The first blip that came to my mind, one of the first universal truths that I had come to me dealt with an object(s) of value to which society has placed such value on.  I knew that this was something that was structured as collectively agreed upon, and although I didn't realize it at the time, I had the knowing that this was illusion.  It was something that did not exist in "nature" and it was an egoic construct and at any time, said construct could be changed.  It can be compared to time as is on a clock.  Time doesn't exist, but time does exist.  Natural time doesn't exist but the time that we have created does exist.  Time that we have created.

Of course, when I opened up about this universal truth, I was met with the belief system that this is the way things are and the way things are is truth.  This truth was not something that came from something that I had read.  It didn't come from society that's for sure!  It did not come from anything that I watched on TV...no...it came from inside of me.  Seemingly out of thin air!  Like I said before, this rejection of these blips among other things led me to dismiss these truths, but then I found these truths again at an older age.

Looking back now and seeing how I have gone through several realizations - it was this truth that came back.  That truth that had been there all along, the truth that never left but was pushed to the back-burner.  I had the truth all along, I just was not allowing myself to see this truth and live this truth due to the "truth" I thought to be the truth!  It was my intuition, my heart, showing me what the truth really was.

As yourself where this belief is coming from.  See if it could have an origin in someone or something else.  If it stems from outside, feel how this belief feels - decide who you will trust.  Can you trust yourself?  Will you allow yourself to trust yourself?  Trust is a key ingredient.  If it's origin is on the inside; now this sounds cray cray, ask yourself if THAT stems from outside of you.  Keep going with it.  In the end - you'll arrive at your destination.

There is so much more that I could say about this, because it encompasses so much.  I wanted to focus more on intuitive knowing than belief systems about ourselves; it is all connected though.  BUT for now, you'll just have to wait for more. <--- There is a lil hint of what's to come.

Y.O.U. Spells YOU!


What you seek can only be found within yourself. You have the power to be as you wish to be, live as you wish to live internally. It is in that place where your universe resides. The universe, YOUR universe only lives inside of YOU.  External circumstances are a reflection of the internal circumstances.  Seeking control through these means as a way to control external means is yet still control through external means.  External circumstances do arise due to internal circumstances, however these external circumstances cannot be completely dictated by internal circumstances.  Connection is everything.  Your connection to yourself and your connection with nature. Connect with yourself internally and let nature flow you through the present moment to your next destination.  

The universe is infinite, you are infinite, love is infinite.  As inside, so outside. As outside, so inside.

Meditation Myths and Tips for Starting Out


There is so much information out there on meditation. This kind of meditation and that kind of meditation.  When it comes to the topic, things can get quite confusing! 

I first became interested in it quite a few years ago. I would go on YouTube, find something that suited me for the time being, and then make an attempt. I was expecting this vivid journey, visions, an "out of body" kind of experience maybe. Since I obviously did not achieve this the one or two times I had attempted it. It kind of fell to the background in my life. It was something that would pop up, and then as quick as it came up, it would be gone. 

A few years ago I was desperate for some peace. I couldn't live my life the way that I had any longer. I was making myself miserable. One day, I decided that I would try it out again. No expectations. I was just going to do it and I made it a point to myself to keep on doing it. 

So began my practice of meditating. I started out with guided meditations on YouTube and graduated to basically anything I wanted along those lines that made me feel good. 

Along my journey I have learned a lot about it and although I am no expert, I wanted to share a few myths and give some tips about meditation. Especially for beginners. 

Ready set go!

1.  In order to meditate, you need to sit in the lotus position (Indian style or the more complicated, more pretzel looking version)
        
        -There is no right or wrong way to "sit" if you want to try to meditate. You can do it standing up, laying down, or any other position that feels most comfortable to you.

2.  You must not think about anything. Whatsoever. No ifs ands or buts. 

        -As I said before, there is no right or wrong way to meditate. There are different kinds of meditation. Whatever is easiest for you to do and whatever is best for your situation and what you are trying to achieve is always going to be okay. I have found that whatever comes more natural is what I shall do. If my mind won't shut up, I'll mantra it out. Other times my mind is more at peace, and I'll focus on trying to not think of anything. Other times thoughts are coming and I can't focus well and I'll just let my mind wander without judgment on my part, being the observer of said thoughts.

3.  You need to focus on your body too. And start with relaxing one body part at a time. 

        -Although I love when I can achieve this kind of relaxation, it's not necessary in order to meditate. It does feel good when you have your body relaxed in such a way as well though.

4.  You need to have a quiet place. No distractions. 

        -It is helpful to be in a peaceful area when you do it. But it's not necessary.  Let's say you're on a walk and you hear city noises in the distance, but your focusing on your walking, maybe even your breathing too, or your mind is clear during this time. You're meditating and you don't even know it!

 5. You need to do all of the above and maybe some other things (it all depends on the source of your information) in order to be successful at meditation. 

     - Success in meditation comes when you're no longer concerned with your success at it.  But for real though, there is no success or failure at this. Try it out and just keep going with it!

If you're first starting out and you have an over active monkey brain, try you-tubing guided meditations. This helps with your focus. With time you'll find it easier to do. Then try out isochronic tones and binaural beats. Some of the beats also help focus.  

If this is something that you are new at, don't give up!  Keep on going, keep on trying!  All it takes is 5 minutes a day to keep your monkey brain away 😉

You'll find success when you stop thinking about whether you are successful or not.

Friendly Update

Hello everyone!  My apologies for not having posted in a while, I was pretty busy and lately I have been taking some time for myself.  BUT I am slowly starting to get back into action.  I will admit, I have been sort of lazy.  I have tons of stuff in the vault just waiting to get out though!  Whether it is on here, my website, or one of my Facebook pages, I have so many things I need to get out there into the universe!

I spent some time today re-vamping my website, the desktop version and the mobile version - man this stuff is time consuming!  I finally took off the "pardon my dust" message at the top, as I feel like I have things set for the time being and everything seems to check out on both the desktop version and the mobile version.  If anyone has any trouble using the website please let me know so I can take care of the issue.

Since I am pretty busy during the day, I hope to get some posts drafted and scheduled for publication some time this week.  I have some blog posts and more coming your way!  In the meantime, have a gander at my website, and, if you've traveled here from the blogger website, check out my Facebook pages and Facebook group!  The links are below!  As always, I am also ready and open for coaching sessions, email me for a free 30 minute session!
