Lessons from my Sat Nav

September 3, 2009

Who would have thought that my Sat Nav would be more than a directional guide!

My Sat Nav and I have a different kind of relationship. When she works, she works – and is treated like a queen, given much praise and appreciation. When she doesn’t, she is begged and stroked to work!

When I am going to a place I have been to before, I tend to take my Sat Nav along with me to remind me of where we are going – but when we are going somewhere new – it frustrates me no end in that it will not connect and I often have several pieces of paper with me to get me where I need to go!

Yesterday, I was going to one of those new places – and spent some time just sitting quietly asking Spirit and the Creator to help my Sat Nav. When I then got into my car, rather than rushing off to my destination straight away, I slowed down and allowed the Sat Nav to connect first.

This may sound like a technical ‘How To’ instead of a Spiritual Blog – but how many times in our life do we rush off instead of taking the time that we need to ensure we have everything? Life is very fast paced at this moment in time – and we are often not taking a breath before we start something new.

So before you start something new, even if it is something that you have done before – then take a breath and wait – it will then be a lot easier for you :)

Loosing a Loved One

August 27, 2009

From one plane to another….

Today my cat, Tabs went home to Spirit.  Tabs had developed tumours and was starting to suffer with them.  She was no longer eating properly and therefore the decision was made for her to go home to Spirit.

It is amazing how many emotions we can feel in just one moment of time when an event like this happens.  Tabs was my one true companion when we lived in Spain, and I remember the sadness of leaving her there whilst she was in quarantine – and the big ‘meow’ she gave me when I picked her up from the airport.  I remember that it was a combination of a telling off and a hello at the same time!

Tabs was very much an independant soul, and when she wanted a cuddle – she did, and if she didn’t they she let you know.  If she was hungry and I was asleep – I would get a few whacks on the nost until I did wake up!  Whenever she slept with me, she would take as much of the bed as she could – but would also snuggle in with me at the same time.

I know that she is no longer in pain, and I know that she will be back to visit me soon, so whilst I am loosing her from the physical  side of life – I know that spiritually she is with me.

Out of the Ashes comes new growth

July 31, 2009

How can an event that leaves you shattered help you grow?

Since I started my Spiritual path, I knew that I wanted to help people rediscover who they were, and clear away old baggage that stops them from living the life that they desire to!

Until I can do this full time, I am working as a Project Manager for an online company.  Whilst here, I am giving 100% to make sure that I am doing all that I need to – and have been working towards a more ‘Senior’ position.  I applied for the role, and for two months I waited to hear back – and nothing.  Then I was told that the department had decided on a different direction, and I did not get the position.  I sulked and became miserable for such a long time – that I forgot what my real mission in life was!

I connected with Spirit, and asked what had happened, and the response came that the new position didn’t  matter – as it was not what I was here for!  I could have kicked myself for feeling so low – but it reminded me that whilst we may not always know what the next step to take is – Spirit have a better plan for us in the long run, and that out the of the ashes, new growth does come.

Expectations

May 5, 2009

When you set yourself up to react in one way…. how can you change that?

So the title of this blog may seem odd – but I was given a clear lesson in the Law of Attraction and expectations in a way that I did not expect!

I was set to participate in a day of sittings recently, from 11am to 5pm, and this would be the first time that I had done a full day of sittings!  I was excited, but nervous.  Not nervous in that Spirit would not be ther, but more that I would not be able to complete the day or give my full to people – basically I was worried that I would not have the energy to complete the day!

Whenever I spoke to friends about what I had coming up, they would share my concern and really confirm what I was thinking.  What made it worse,  was that I did not go tobed until midnight the night before, and then I woke up an hour early – still in this panic mode!

Just as I was getting ready to leave, and still in this panic mode – I caught myself.  I realised that my fear of not being able to do something was only setting up the one vibration that would actually stop me working with Spirit.  So I changed it.  I brought myself back to the present moment, I didn’t worry about the future, and relaxed knowing that I would work with Spirit, and have a great day.

That is exactly what did happen.  I changed the thought from fear, and let go – which then changed my thoughts to those of trust and faith.  The day did go well, and I was not knackered or exhausted at the end of the day – so all was good.

The power to change your thoughts and create your future is within you – all you have to do is to remember that its there!

Inspiration from the Oracle Cards

February 28, 2009

When using the Oracle Cards… trust what comes out!

I use oracle cards often, for myself, for others, and to give messages as gifts to others too!  Here is an amazing experience that I had – which has helped me to trust what comes out the first time!

It was my mums birthday, and one of the things that I wanted to do was to give her a Soul Coaching card as part of her birthday card.

As I was shuffling the deck, asking for a card for my mum, one flew out of the pack!  I had my eyes closed at the time and didn’t think that it was the card for mum, so I just put it back (eyes still closed!) and continued to shuffle.  I was then told to stop, and as I opened my eyes, the card that had flew out of the pack was sitting at the top – as it had also turned out so that it was staring at me!

It has made me trust exactly what comes out of the Oracle cards, and from that I am able to work more freely and trust that the messages the cards are there to give!

Following Your Dreams

February 7, 2009

If you don’t do it now… when will you?

Late last year, I was having a conversation with my cousin over MSN about what how she wanted to be a holiday rep.  Through the conversation she was telling me how she wasn’t sure if it was possible or if she could leave her family.

For me, it brought up memories of when I dreamed of doing that job!  This was probably a dream from when I was 11 or 12!  I applied and got a chance to go to a group session where they explained what was going to happen, and then if I got through the first part of the day, I would then move on to a interview.  I didn’t make the interview part, despite having all the right ideas – I was not ‘loud’ enough in the group to be heard, and therefore they did not think I would be be able to work in the group situations in a holiday resort.  My dreams dashed, I decided not to pursue it any further.  I am always left wondering ‘what if’.

I met with my cousin at Christmas time, and did a Oracle reading for her.  I was just amazed at how the cards were talking of a new career, the sun and changes coming up.  I looked at her and we both knew exactly what it meant for her – and a few days later she told me how she had completed the application, and now had her interview date!

I sent lots of positive energy her way for the interview, no matter what the outcome, and I was so thrilled when she called me say that she had got the job!  She was so thilled on the phone that I was just as joyous – I’ve planned to go visit her no matter where she is! Lol!

It is important to follow our dreams, and not let one person or situation hold us back.  If you find that one door has not opened, then you may find that another will.  If you feel within your heart that you are being called to complete your dream, then go for it.  Sometimes a ‘dream’ is a way of the Universe giving you a hint on what you should be doing or going towards, but also – do you want to look back on a life time of ‘I wished’ or do you want to say ‘I did it’.

I don’t know if I will complete the dream of being a rep myself – but you never know – with the knowledge that it can happen – I may find myself doing it – just in a different way!  I certainly have a few ideas now on how that can come about :-)    I am certainly glad though that my cousin followed hers!

The Airplane Metaphor

February 6, 2009

Please put on your own oxygen mask on before helping somebody else.

When on an aeroplane, we are always told that if the emergency oxygen masks drop down, put your mask on first. If the brain is starved of oxygen, you can get confused or pass out. Then you would be unable to help yourself or your child.

How many times do we do this in our day to day life?  Look after ourselves before we help another.  When put in the context that if I do not look after my own well being – how can I then help another to achieve what they want to do?

Listen to your own Spirit – what is it saying to you?  Are you taking on too much?

The Universe likes to laugh!

January 14, 2009

I was in a bit of a mood over a really silly thing that had happened.  As I thought about it, and built this thought up – I noticed how it just exploded into lots of silly things that I would do, and how upset I was.  I was walking to work … and thats when the Universe / Spirit decided to have a laugh – I did not see the dog poop on the path!  I slid a little bit as I trod straight in it, got my balance back and just thanked myself for not falling over!

I laughed quite a bit, then I realised what I was being told (excuse the language but…) “Think shitty thoughts and you will get shit back!”

I realised that I really need to just get over myself as life is too short for me to be moody over something little!  Since my crappy moment, I have smiled and focused on all the good that is around me!
