Lesson 252: You Have This Idea of Protection...

Today’s lesson goes as per below":

“You have this idea of protection, of protecting yourself from energy. There is no protection! As one of One, this is impossible. There is no way to be separate! All things vibrate, all things merge, all energy is all energy. This idea that you must protect yourself... this keeps you in fear.”

— Sara Wiseman

We are to think about the notion that we are all One and there is no need for protection. We are to think about that we are not separated…

I personally would like to get on board with this notion that we don’t need protection. The reality of life is that as a human being and even as a woman, I need protection. To say I live with fear, I guess is technically correct, though it’s out of necessity. There are some shit people out there who want to hurt others, so why wouldn’t I consider protection – whether that’s psychically or physically. I am really disagreeing with today’s lesson. I get this whole Oneness… but it’s on an energetic level. We are one massive collective that has the ability to influence each other energetically and spiritual level. But, that’s not to say that everyone is within the consciousness of Oneness – some people just have bad energy based on their bad intent.

I certainly do not believe that we can merge as One or be One on a physical or mental level necessarily. I need to be mindful that I need to protect myself from people that may be predators. They are out to hurt me for whatever motive they have. To say that I don’t need protection is ludicrous. These people have bad energy with malicious intent, so why wouldn’t think about protection. I can’t use my words or actions to merge their energy with mine to change them into a person with good intent. Even though in an ideal world, I’d like to turn everyone around, though if someone came after me to possibly attack me as a woman, why would I think I could be One with them on a spiritual level. They would physically hurt me and do who knows what! I’m probably going off topic but I hope you get my point. I just don’t believe that we should dismiss protection based on the scenario… that’s all!

Ok, I’m done and don’t want to involve myself any further on this lesson. I get what she’s saying but I just don’t agree.

Lesson 252: Check In WEEK 36 - Feeling Good

This week has been about doing things that bring you joy. Taking a moment to even step away from responsibility at home and tuning into what you need for self. We can all take time out to raise our own vibration and we shouldn’t feel bad for it.

A lot of my week consisted of spending time with friends. I really going to the Melbourne Star and doing something I hadn’t done before. I did a tarot reading for a friend and we spent all day talking about spiritual things. I went for dinner with friends and smoked shisha. Even though what I did wasn’t anything major, I find so much happiness in simple things like going out for dinner and being in good company.

There is one thing that I want to do just to get some more relaxation in and that’s to have a massage. Hopefully I get to do it this week instead. I also want to get a lot of reading done. It’s next on my list!

Lesson 251: If You Are In the Midst of...

When we are going through a spiritual awakening, it’s new and not always forthcoming. You can be roaming the world really feeling raw truth. As we open our hearts on the search for our truth, it can be overwhelming. Think about when it gets too much. Is there anything you do to protect yourself or do you take a break from the spiritual side? Today we are asked to simply merge with it all.

I’m not sure I would merge with all things spiritual.. just because it can be an overload. There are reasons why we take breaks, to rest and reset. Today’s lesson to ask us to just merge with it all, doesn’t necessarily sit well with me. You can absorb other people’s crap, you might suddenly go moody for no good reason, you might feel upset … and with all these emotions and feelings, what’s that going to achieve if we are just to embrace it all.

I do have moments like these in which I do not necessarily agree with what’s being taught. I like the idea of being open to possibility but to merge with everything when it can get too much, just doesn’t seem like a good idea. I think it’s wise to protect yourself when it comes to spirituality. There are some nasty things out there, so why wouldn’t you protect yourself? Anyway, I’m not about to do this lesson but if you have a good time merging with everything on a spiritual level, tell me how you go.

Day 251 - A Year to Clear - Take a Salt and Soda Bath or Shower

Lesson 251: Take a Salt and Soda Bath or Shower

On lesson 92 we were given a recipe of a salt and soda remedy that could help with our clearing practise. I personally do not remember it nor do I remember actually using it myself. Haha! So, the recipe is mixing equals parts of sea salt (not Epsom) with baking soda. If you take a bath, pour it into the tub and soak and if you shower, make a paste in your palm and rub it all over your body. This is meant to restore balance.

I guess it’s an easy way to scrub away and clear anything off your body and within your energy field. I personally believe that any scrub can do this and why not use something that you love that has a nice scent to calm your senses. It’s definitely a cheap way of scrubbing your body as well as clearing. There are so many products out there that you can use to achieve the same result. Whenever I use a scrub, I feel more clean than I normally am after a shower, but I feel refreshed – like the scrub has actually taken away the crap that was attached to me and washed it down the drain. Do you ever feel this way? I think if you have the intent, then washing away the crappy energy is something I visualise when I use a scrub.

Anyone want to try this soda and salt paste and tell me what it’s like?

Day 250 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - If You Crack Your Heart Open...

Lesson 250: If You Crack Your Heart Open...

As we crack our hearts open, our outlook and life changes. You may start to make a new path for yourself and this path may not involve those around you. We grow into Oneness and others may not have their awakening until much later. You will start to let go of the old but realise you are ready to at the same time. Today we are to think about the things we are ready to leave behind… people, beliefs, values, thoughts…. Can you really shed it all off?

I have let go of so much and am still learning to fully let go. I have mentioned what I have let go of in previous posts and I’m not sure I want to entirely repeat it. What I will say is that being brought up in Western society is different if I was to be brought up in my family’s culture in Eastern society. I think I had a mix of the both which didn’t really sit well with me at the same time. I think what Western society did offer me was the freedom to truly think for myself. I know with my Asian family, there are limiting beliefs because they don’t choose to expose themselves to the wider world. I am in no way dissing their way of life, it’s more that their way of life does not resonate with me. It’s fine for them because they live it and are happy in it.

I am thankful that my parents decided to move us to Australia. Sure, it wasn’t always great being Asian in a predominant white community, and those times were tough, but I have seen the world evolve to be more inclusive and that’s amazing! I have actually done away with most of what I was taught as a child, just because I feel like it’s what my parents had offered in some form of guidance. As I’ve grown, I have learned and established my own rules in how I live my life. I feel lucky that I have this privilege. Not everyone has the freedom to speak their minds or mentioning a better way. It’s one of those things I wish for – that through our Oneness, we can all be at peace and no one has to suffer. If we can bring that energy about, it would be mind blowing! Maybe, one day!
