Lesson 57: Human Acupuncture Needle

“To illustrate how we bring awareness into our clearing practice, consider the principle of acupuncture - the ancient Chinese practice of inserting tiny needles into the energy centers of the physical body to get the chi flowing again to restore balance.

You could say that you’re doing the same thing with clearing, only in this case what you “insert” to bring about change in the stuck places of your home and life is pure compassionate awareness.

In this case, the needle is you.”

— Stephanie Bennett Vogt

New week equals a new theme "Inserting Awareness.". I like that today we are to think about the ways we are penetrating all the stuck feelings and physical items. I’ve had a lot of buried memories stuck in my consciousness coming up for a reason. Most of the time I am not thinking about them, and they have resurfaced, which to me means I’m ready and strong enough to deal with those feelings.

I think awareness has been great throughout this exercise from when it was introduced in Week 2. I think bringing awareness to any clearing or decluttering activity allows you to deal with the connection in preparation for a possible release. Plus everything is in your own time. I know I definitely have mostly thoughts and memories that require healing. When I am able to clear all these thoughts that consciously and subconsciously hold me back, I think it’ll be very freeing and uplifting. I can’t wait for that day. I got a lot of work to do though.

Lesson 56: Check In WEEK 8 - Releasing Old Stories

This week was probably one of my favourite clearing weeks. There was a focus on old stories or stories we tell that shape our reality and fuel emotions. Sometimes those stories really consume our minds and not for the better.

I’ve had a few old memories pop up for release. I know I have to deal with all of them in my own time. They wouldn’t come up otherwise right?

I am starting to feel better as I release these old stories. I feel like releasing my old memories will be a theme for me in weeks to come but if I keep clearing, then ultimately I will feel a lot lighter. That’s the aim at the end of the day, to be cleared of all the mental clutter.

Day 56 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - You Create Your Reality

Lesson 56: You create your reality...

“Lesson 56: You create your reality, with your consciousness, and also with your emotions. When you are in fear, in lower vibrations, your consciousness is constrained. When you are in joy, love, in higher vibration, your consciousness creates effortlessly.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today’s lesson focuses on if you believe you create your own reality. Is this true? Would you change your life if you know this was true?

I believe we do create our own reality. I also believe we are in control of our reality. You can definitely share your experiences with others, but no one will perceive the reality exactly like yours. With our own thoughts, feelings and emotions, we shape our reality, though it will never be perceived the same as another.

It’s very much the same as what I’ve been saying now – no one can make you happy except you, the only limiting factor in your life is you, only you have power to better your life. With that being said, only you can change your life if you so choose. Reality will still exist whether you want to change it or not, and it will exist as your own.

If we all had the same exact thoughts, feelings and emotions then maybe we could share our reality through the same consciousness. All we can do is share our reality as we see it.

Day 55 - A Year to Clear - One Thing About Me

Lesson 55: One Thing About Me

Today's lesson is about completing this statement:

• One thing about me that I love and want to cultivate more of in my life is______

I think everyone knows what I want out of my life.

• One thing about me that I love and want to cultivate more of in my life is creativity. I am writing more which I honestly have never done so much of in my life. I am wanting to draw more or learn to do more technique. I want to master handwriting, write more poems and learn to play piano. There is so much creativity locked inside and I am really trying my hardest to really explore my talents this year. It's going to be one of the best years yet!

Day 55 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - The Wrong Path

Lesson 55: When you see people heading down the wrong path...

I knew this weekend I was going to have a busy weekend with work and mediumship class, which didn’t really leave me with much time to post. Saturday’s lesson goes onto our need to fix others. When we see people going down a wrong path, we usually have an opinion about it right? We usually have our own viewpoints of what is right in another’s situation and what’s wrong based on our own morals and values. We tend to suggest a different way because we genuinely want to help but also tend to forget that everyone has their own path for their own soul growth.

Saturday’s exercise focuses on who have we been trying to fix lately and is it working? If we knew the outcome would be the same whether we tried to fix it or not, what would you do? And then the final question is for whose soul path are we responsible for and if we’re really sure about that.

I try not to fix people’s lives. I know I tend to give advice that I think would really help but I don’t feel like I’m out to directly fix people’s lives. I know from my own experience that I am the only person responsible for my life and therefore need to be accountable for all my actions. I feel this is the way everyone should be. I can listen and offer assistance, but ultimately, it’s your choice to listen and then make choices for what’s best. The only time I feel people should listen to me is when I’ve delivered a message from spirit. I know those times, you really need to listen to what’s being conveyed because it’s not even my advice, it’s that of the other side. There is something larger at play in those instances and I am just a messenger. I know not everyone believes in talking to spirit, but if I’m doing a card reading for you, then the message coming is important. In saying that, I don’t think I’m out to fix you, I’m just giving some advice for your direction from spirit.

I don’t feel anyone should be responsible for anyone else’s soul path. Everyone has a journey they need to go on and have their own experiences and learnings to be had. Sure, you can share your journey with others, though any decision you make in life is yours and yours alone. We’re there for assistance but definitely not fixing. That’s just my opinion. Answering the question if the result was the same, what would you do – I wouldn’t be fixing anyone in the first place but if I was, I’d stop because end result would be the same. Think about people you’ve been trying to fix lately and take a step back to think about why.
