Lesson 173: What Clearing Can Look and Feel Like

“Don’t turn away. Keep your gaze on the bandaged place. That is where the light enters you.”

— Rumi

Today’s lesson is Stephanie Bennett Vogt recounting a tale of how a Thanksgiving holiday didn’t go to plan. I don’t want to recall the story because I want to state the overall message. As I’m doing this clearing course, it’s changed the way I approach things in my life. Basically, when something usually upsets you, it’s about how you can take another approach in your reaction. You can let the anger brew, the sadness or the frustration take over. The alternative is to look at the situation as an observer. How can you let that “storm” inside dissipate? It’s about being aware of those feelings that make you feel bad and help to clear them. Face the feelings and help clear out that negative energy. We can all take a step back with any reaction we have. It’s analysing your feelings and turning them around. I like to just imagine white light cleansing the space where my feelings are. I think by letting it go, it opens me up for more positive vibes.

I think this clearing course has really allowed me to take another approach in my feelings but also give me more understanding for others. I think when I don’t let my emotions take over and can be more aware, I don’t feel all that shit energy hang around. The more I clear the negative, the more I can attract good things. We all have the power to do this and bring in that mindset into our lives. We just need to be more aware and move forward when we have to.

Lesson 173: It is Not Normal or...

“It is not normal or necessary for the body to be pure at all times. This is a misbelief. Even for optimum health, this is not required. The body is of the earth, and the body’s highest function is to be able to process what the earth life provides.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today we are to think about if we are too restrictive when it comes to our diet and health, and if it serves us well or is it something we create as a form of distraction?

I struggle with keeping a diet because I love different flavoured foods too much. Whenever I am on a diet, I find that it’s restrictive and I honestly can’t cope. I am not the slimmest and don’t claim to be either. I don’t complain about my weight anymore and just accept myself as I am. Sure, I could probably be slimmer but I’m not too worried about it either hey.

I guess I only ever went on a diet to serve others – like I wasn’t good enough if I wasn’t skinny, which just simply isn’t true. I know it would be a good healthy thing to do but I don’t think it actually made me happier in any way, so why was I doing it?

I think for me if I keep walking and dancing, then that levels out what I eat so I don’t stack on too much. I think I agree with Sara Wiseman’s lesson that we don’t have to be “pure” at all times. I think we could do things in moderation and not over indulge.

How much do you do for your health and do you put strict guidelines on yourself?
