Lesson 295: Disappoint

Within this lesson Stephanie Bennett Vogt talks about Cheryl Richardson's book The Art of Extreme Self-Care and if you want to live a genuine, “authentic” life then you should actively go out and disappoint people. This seems like it may be an extreme measure in our lives as disappointing people may cause conflict, make people upset and creates waves. What is mentioned is that we do this all the time without realising and we don’t generally intend to seek disappointment. The challenge is to do it with intention and with awareness.

This week’s theme is “Supporting Release”. I am eager to know how disappointing people, supports release. Is it about doing away with all kinds of judgement so we build ourselves up better? Is it so that we can learn reactions off others, so then we know how to engage? I am not sure how this will work, but let’s see hey!

Lesson 294: Check In WEEK 42 - Embracing Mystery

The week was to really embrace the unknown and not overthink the outcome. It’s about the acceptance that things will work out. Whatever feelings that arise from wanting to know, it’s about working through those feelings and embracing patience. It’s about relaxing your mind and not overworking your mind to think about results. It’s about letting go and allow the flow of events to occur. Sometimes you just don’t need to know every single detail and control the situation. There is no need for added stress in your life. One of my favourite sayings is that everything will work out the way it’s supposed to and that rings true to this lesson.

Lesson 294: Those Who Are Embarrassed...

“Those who are embarrassed or don’t like the terms guides, angels, entities, can use the idea of their higher selves, or Divine self, or another idea that is less personal, less characteristic. The guides don’t care what we call them.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today we are to think about higher beings and the Divine. Some people call those good entities angels, guides, God, the Divine, the Universe etc. Do you believe in these beings? If you don’t use those names, then what do you call them?

I believe in the Divine but I also refer to it as the Universe or Universal Power. I think there is a collective power but not controlled by just one God. I have always thought when I was younger that there is a group of beings – Gods and Goddesses that used their power to create this world and other worlds in other realms and dimensions. I know I have guides in the form of spirits that comprise of ancestors, animals, humans that may have lived on this earth and higher beings. I also have angels that have come to me also.

In terms of whom and what have come to me through my mind’s eye include- the Hindu God Shiva, Odin, angel Ezekiel, Gaia, Lilith, my grandma, my grandpa, a celtic ancestor, the Horned God, fairies, an eagle, stag, dragons, fox, an Atlantean named Gamma, Jesus, Apollo, Horus, Isis and so many more. I think whatever comes when you need that inspiration and guidance at the time.

So there’s a bit about what I have encountered on my spiritual journey. What do you believe in?

Lesson 293: Embrace Your Not Knowing

Today we are to embrace what “not knowing” means to us by completing the following sentences:

• What happens to me when something doesn't add up, make sense, or is downright mystifying is______

• It is safe for me to hang out in a state of not knowing because______

• One thing I can do to ease my discomfort around not knowing what to do (the answer, what my next steps should be) is______

• I know that things always work out for me, no matter what they look like on the outside, because______

******

My answers:

• What happens to me when something doesn't add up, make sense, or is downright mystifying is that it sends my mind into a noisy chaos.

• It is safe for me to hang out in a state of not knowing because I know that everything works out the way it’s supposed to.

• One thing I can do to ease my discomfort around not knowing what to do (the answer, what my next steps should be) is to slow down and breathe through it.

• I know that things always work out for me, no matter what they look like on the outside, because I let it go and the Universe will let things flow.

Day 293 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - Our Guides and Angels...

Lesson 293: Our Guides and Angels...

Love holds a high vibration. Our guides and angels continuously hold this for us though we forget to every day. Our vibration is constantly changing and reforming. Today we are to think about if we were a guide or angel, what advice would you give to a human? If you were a guide or angel, what would you tell yourself?

If I was in spirit guiding people, I think I would want to encourage people to always see the light in every situation. There is darkness everywhere -that cannot be denied, but that doesn’t mean we have to stay there. It’s about bringing the light, even in those times when we feel lost. There is always light in a situation and something we can transform and learn from.

I think we need to definitely awaken to a higher consciousness. There are so many ways we are living that isn’t in tune to our higher selves. We have the ability to influence each other in positive ways but society dictates much of our thinking. We need to break away from that in order to achieve our collective consciousness that connects us to the Divine.

We need true connection with each other rather than separating ourselves from one another. We are very much disconnected on an emotional level even though we live in a world where the internet brings us closer together. We definitely need to think beyond our immediate environment. We need to take care of ourselves and nature. We destroy the one thing that is meant to nurture life.

In terms of advice for myself – I talk to higher beings every so often and I know what I need to work on in life. I connect when I need to in order to get answers on larger questions. I use my tarot for my muggle human stuff. I guess the advice above is what I’ve been told also. There is much work to be done on earth for people that awaken. If everyone could awaken, it would be much easier. The challenge is non-believers and those that don’t believe in much more than this life.
