Lesson 242: The Ripple Effect of Happiness

With any emotion and feeling, we have the power to influence others with our energy and vice versa. If you’re happy in a room and people start picking up on that, do you notice their mood change? This is the ripple effect. Same goes for when someone is feeling angry, you might feel that energy come through to you. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you will automatically feel another person’s feelings, it can mean that there is an option for you to possibly change that mood around. If you’re feeling low, you might encounter someone’s positive energy and turn yourself around. I think what’s important is to check in with how you’re feeling. If you’re low, what can you do to raise your vibration? If you’re happy, how can you spread that around?

Sometimes you feel happy for no reason, just ride that wave. If we can be self-aware of the environment we’re in, it then allows us to adjust ourselves if needed, or turn someone else around. Sometimes when you feel off for no reason, take a moment to pause and look around what’s happening in the room. You may just need to shake up the environment to allow a positive flow.

Lesson 242: Once You Reach Heart of Connection...

As you reach Oneness, you feel your old self or parts of your old patterns start to shed away. Connection allows you to open and expand. You will start to let go… of everything. Today we are to think about a time in our life when we let everything go and if there are parts of our lives now that could use some letting go.

I think as I developed in my spiritual journey I started letting go of old feelings that held me back. My medium teacher did hypnotherapy with me to let go of thoughts that definitely held me back. I had issues with my dad not really being a father though I’ve let that situation go. I believe that he has no power to bring me down, so I can try to build a relationship with him. If it goes south again, I don’t think it would bother me as it did as a teenager. I let go of limiting beliefs that I needed to be skinny to please someone. Comments people have made over the years are quite damaging for an impressionable child/teenager and it consumed my life because I wasn’t “perfect” in my body shape. I say fuck that! I am just me and if people have a problem with my body, then that’s on them. I couldn’t give a shit about what they think of me. I accept myself so they should too.

The biggest challenge (in which I thought I had fully dealt with) is this notion that I am unlovable and not deserving of love. In the past month I was struggling to see that I deserved love. I think the dating climate of the modern world is challenging and there is room for people to not be genuine. So I think I felt defeated – like how am I supposed to meet someone when every encounter I have, people just want sex. Now, there’s nothing wrong with that but I state in my dating profile that I’m not after that. I just felt like this dating world is crushing my hopes as it felt like I am never going to meet someone. From there, I had these defeating thoughts that maybe no one will love me and maybe I had done something to warrant no success in love. I had to revisit this in my shadow work and just re-wire myself to say “I do deserve love” “I will find love” “If I do good deeds, good things will come”. So with my guides, I took that limiting belief and sent it back out to the Universe as I don’t want that in my being anymore. Sometimes you got to recognise what needs releasing in order to change up the energy in your life.

Right now I think I’m good for letting go what I need to. What about you?

Lesson 241: Happily Grooving

“It seems obvious that your closest friends might influence your mood, but the study found that. . .the happiness of a friend of a friend of a friend boosts your chance of being happy”

— Carolyn Y. Johnson

So that quote came from an article that was in the British Medical Journal. It tells of the notion that someone else’s happiness mood can be contagious. It goes back to what we’ve been learning in this clearing course all year – we are a direct correlation to the surrounding environment we’re in. If we create a safe, happy environment, then we feel good in our energy. The idea of this quote as well, is that there may be energy floating around in the air. Someone in your building may be setting off good vibes and that reaches you, so you’re in a good mood. You might find you wake up good for no particular reason, maybe because a friend or family member received good news, so you’re tapping into that. This lesson sort of ties in with the other posts I do for my spiritual awakening course – that through connection and Oneness, we’re all intermixing energy that can influence each other. If you feel happy for no reason, ride the wave and spread it out. You might not realise who you might be helping today just by putting a smile on your face, looking confident or being encouraging towards others.

Lesson 241: One of the Most Common Results of Oneness...

When we expand through Oneness, things that seemed important don’t seem as crucial anymore. Things that really sit at surface level and have no depth – for example material objects, status, fake friendships, pleasing others. Today we are to think about if the level of connection we have are at a good level and if your life’s work is what makes you fulfilled and content.

I think it’s important to know what your life’s work should be. I mean you can ask your guides, Gods, Goddesses etc for an answer but sometimes they are just there to guide and not give a direct answer. It’s important to find work that resonates with you and not just do a job. I mean I am currently working towards my dream of having a successful business that captures my spiritual side. I do have a day job to pay the bills as I slowly chip away at the larger dream. I think it’s important to realise your own dreams and ensure that you aren’t living to someone else’s expectations.

The relationships I currently hold could probably use some expansion. I want real, deep connection. Sometimes strangers I meet feels more real and connection than people I’ve known for years. That’s just due to the path I am on and there are things I want to talk about so they can unfold in my life. I want to hear people’s stories so I can learn and grown as a person. I don’t care for surface level shit anymore like what’s the latest make-up trend, what is in fashion, what’s the hottest meme right now… I want more! I want to be learning from every person I meet. I think relationships can be ever expanding if people are open to it. I realise that not everyone is and that’s where I can be limited with that particular individual – and that’s okay. I just seek and then I find.

How satisfied are you with the relationships currently in your life and is your life’s work what you actually want to be doing?

Lesson 240: Oneness, Heart of Connection...

Oneness allows change to happen in sometimes rapid ways. When we realise Oneness and the heart of connection, it gives a chance for you to expand in ways you couldn’t have imagined. Today we are asked “If you knew your life would change when you realized Oneness, would you still change?”

I am not a person who is resistant to change. I know that life is cycles so change is always imminent. It’s how we adapt and embrace the change that makes the difference. I think I was at a point in my life when change was needed so when I realised Oneness, I was in a transformation. The part I find difficult is basically how my own morals and values I used to know were challenged. It’s adjusting your mindset to a new way of thinking. I think there is always room for adjustment and seeing what comes into your life. I believe there is more change to come. I don’t think my current path is it. I think there will come a time when I will change again and I’m okay with that.
