Lesson 230: Choose Yourself

Today we are to look to see how we place ourselves first…. Or should place ourselves first.

  • It is absolutely essential for me to choose me because______
  • What gets in the way of me choosing me is ______ (and what I can do about it) ______

---------

 

My answers: 

  • It is absolutely essential for me to choose me because no one else is going to place me first in their lives and nor should they.
  • What gets in the way of me choosing me is not having enough time and what I can do about it is, looking to adopt a schedule that allow for “me” time.

Lesson 229: Your Aura, or Energetic or Subtle Body...

Our aura and energy can be ours or expand to include others. The thought of “One” means that we merge with others – an intertwining flow of energy and auras at any given moment. Today we are to “merge, dance and play with everyone” in our energy and aura fields. This is how we expand and can drop boundaries.

My Friday consisted of having a day off work, doing a whole bunch of house work to move energy around in my home and went to dinner with friends. I personally place energy shields up so that I am not absorbing other people’s energy. Why do I do this? Because I have left myself open before and absorbed so much negative shit out there that I got physically ill. I think this exercise would work well if you are in a good environment, though I don’t recommend it when you’re surrounded by negativity or toxic environments. It is not pleasant to just pick up on other people’s issues, especially those that you can’t help. If you left yourself open to other people’s energy, you may pick up on a stranger’s challenges also and then you really can’t help them.

I know the lesson was to do this with everyone, but I really feel it should only be with those with good energy. There is no point absorbing something bad and drag yourself down if it can be avoided. It should be a lesson of just feeling good, spreading your energy out and taking in what’s good.

Lesson 229: Just Imagine

What if the path you are experiencing now will take you forward into a life so magical and fulfilling that you cannot even imagine it.
— Lena Stevens, "The Power Path

Today we are to absorb the quote.

I think in life sometimes it’s hard to believe and even imagine that the path we are on is magical. I know during times of trauma, you may question why everything is coming down around you. I think it’s okay to go through the cycles of emotion and feelings whenever we experience any event in our lives. I know I’ve experiences those moments when I really question the point of anything. I have since learned that what we live through is building us for a better life moving forward. We may go through hardship, but it’s in those moments that we learn a lesson and know how to handle those situations if we’re ever faced with it again. I think we are stronger for it. I really like the quote because we can’t really fathom a magical path as we can’t predict the future as a clear set path. I think we can’t imagine our lives for sure and the random occurrences that present themselves are the magical parts of life.

Lesson 228: When You Are Beginning to...

As we’ve opened ourselves to the heart of compassion, we’ve opened ourselves to holding it for ourselves and others. With opening ourselves to connection, it’s about recognising that we are all the same energy. There is no need to compare one with another when we are all the same. Today we are to meditate on the fact that we are “One”. What comes to mind when you breathe into it? Do you find a calmness settles in? Is there an opposing force to this? Explore it today.

When I closed my eyes, I immediately was greeted with green mountains and light shining down through a cloud. I felt like the oneness I was experiencing was that of nature. How we are all connected through energy but also recognising that it’s Earth’s energy. It was very calming and peaceful. I didn’t get oneness with people in my meditation. I got more Earth energy and that of animals. Not to say I don’t connect with humans, but in this instance, I needed to be reminded of the environment around me. It’s the same oneness if we delve deeper into connection.

How did you go with accepting you are part of “One”?

-----------------

  • One thing I would like to opt-out of today is being around others.
  • It feels really good to say no to things I don’t want to do.
  • Saying "No, I'm sorry, it doesn't work for me" is easy because I live my life the way I want to.

I had a very relaxing day of just movies with myself and nothing more. It’s all I wanted to do to feel good.
