DON’T SUFFER OVER YOUR OWN SUFFERING

    DON’T SUFFER OVER YOUR OWN SUFFERING

When I lived in California, I studied Siddha Yoga under a very lovely Guru named Gurumayi Chidvilasananda and one of her teachings was to “not suffer over your own suffering.” The long and short of it is to stop wallowing.

One of the foibles of humanity is that we can and do get caught up in our own problems, angsts and importance. If something goes wrong in our little sphere of life it can become the most heinous thing going on. If you aren’t sure exactly what I mean, talk to a teenaged girl and all will become clear.

Sure, things happen that make us angry and feel like asking “why me?!” but let it be known that those things happen to everyone at some time or another as well as by one degree or another. Usually, once they are over, you realize that the event wasn’t really all that important in the grand scheme of things. When we suffer over what we feel is going wrong in life, the emotions that creates will overpower our ability to see the good that is always there, thus lowering our overall vibration and that is detrimental to us. (Not to mention the people around us)

To recognize that we are wallowing is to be able to stop. In Evolution of Self; Journey into Mind, Body, Spirit Balance, we learn that sometimes we need to wallow or be angry, but we find that it is exhausting to do it for very long. (because it lowers our vibrations)

But, when it feels necessary to go through a tantrum, set a timer for no more than 15 minutes and wallow or stomp around as much as you like. (do this in private) When the timer goes off…STOP. Regain your composure and start again. It works every time. You get your frustration out without making yourself look or feel foolish and then get on with your life in a more positive, clear headed, life affirming manner.

Learning to recognize wallowing for what it is gives a very powerful tool to get us to our goal of wholeness. Bright Blessings, Chessie

VIBRATE WITH WHAT YOU DESIRE AND WHAT YOU DESIRE WILL VIBRATE WITH YOU

VIBRATE WITH WHAT YOU DESIRE AND WHAT

      YOU DESIRE WILL VIBRATE WITH YOU
   

There is a phenomenon in the field of physics called entrainment. You may have experienced it at a stop light. Have you ever been sitting at a long light and noticed all of the turn signals seem to be blinking in the same rhythm? Or maybe you’ve been in a clock shop and realized all the clocks were ticking in time with each other? I’m sure you have heard that if several women live in close quarters for prolonged periods of time their moon cycles will occur at that same time?

All of these instances are examples of entrainment. This happens when the vibrations of several things mesh and move together in the same rhythm. This is very useful information to have when you consider that the creative ‘stuff’ of the Universe vibrates too. When we desire to manifest something in our lives, we tune our vibrations of our desire so that entrainment with Universal creation happens and your desires will manifest faster and be more in line with what is worthy of you and what you truly want.

Consider this when you feel frustration about something. Where are your vibrations coming from? Are they coming from a feeling of love or fear? Frustration comes from the fear end of the spectrum of emotions so that it is in the low vibration level. Anything born from this level will manifest ugly, unworthy things that create more of what you truly do not want in your life. If, however, you can let your frustration turn to a more love-based feeling, you will find your vibrations rising to a higher level, one more in tune with the Universe and its creation causing better things to come to you.

Wishing you all the wonderful things you deserve. With gratitude, love and Bright Blessings, Chessie

YOU CAN’T STAND IN THE SAME RIVER TWICE

 YOU CAN’T STAND IN THE SAME RIVER TWICE

Because the rivers’ water is constantly moving, it is constantly new at any given point. Stand in the water and watch as it swirls and flows around your legs. You may be standing in the same place but the water that you initially stepped into is gone. It has been replaced with new, different water. You may be the same, but the river is not.

I have found that change is inevitable no matter who you are nor what your belief system. As your life is the river in question you either grow with it, or you do not. Learning what still works for you and keeping it, as well as what does not and letting it go, so that you have room to grow allows you to keep up with your river.
Growth is better than stagnation. Growth gives you new opportunities, new friends, new experiences and new ways to share with others. Stagnation gives you pain, frustration, illness, and a wasted life.

When you look back at the river of your life what do you want to see in its’ wake? Growth and opportunity taken and applied or regret and remorse? Here’s to every one’s river, free flowing, ever changing and ever giving to all you meet.

JUST WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HAUL AROUND

JUST WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HAUL AROUND
AND HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU WANT TO WALK THROUGH IT?

I have had an occasion to speak to a group of people who told me that they felt compelled to do some rather nasty things to others because some rather nasty things had been done to them.

OK, let’s talk about that. Use your imagination to take all of the nasty, mean and ugly things that have EVER happened to you and see them as a huge pile of manure. Your pile may be larger or smaller than other persons’, but it is your pile therefore it is the most important for this exercise.

Now you have a few choices. You can choose to haul it around for the rest of your life while it gets larger and smellier hoping someone will ‘fix’ it for you (good luck with that one). Or you can choose to use it as an excuse to be mean to others and that is the first aspect of this question we will discuss today.

Every time you use your pile of manure to be hateful (that word means ‘full of hate’ by the way) this it what you are really doing. You are choosing, with great effort, to pull your pile of manure around in front of you and then you are choosing to walk through it one more time. Each time you choose/decide to do this, you get some on you, making you relive the whole nasty business over and over again. Because of this practice, your life is probably not getting any better, is it? Now ask yourself, is that what you really want, to be stuck in Manureville for the rest of your life? Somehow, I don’t think so or you wouldn’t be here.

So, as the second aspect of our question; what is a good, positive, healthy choice for getting rid of your pile?

I strongly suggest that you choose to go through your pile and get rid of it by using it to

1.) Fertilize your learning (as in what not to do again), 

2.) Deciding what you can choose to forgive and thereby dismiss, (i.e., let it go) and

3.) Then decide what is just not worth your notice or worthy of you so you truly let it go (it wasn’t worth keeping in the first place).

Simple? Yes. Easy? Not really but if your goal is the choice to be whole and balanced it is well worth the effort. I did it; others in the program have done it, so can you. I promise you that when you decide to truly look at your life and choose to begin to raise your vibrations to match the vibrations of the Energy of the Universe, this task will not seem as daunting as it might right now.
So, Bright Blessings and Good Choices, Chessie

HATE IS A 4 LETTER WORD AND HAS NO PLACE WITHIN A POSITIVE PERSONS VOCABULARY

HATE IS A 4 LETTER WORD AND HAS NO PLACE WITHIN A POSITIVE PERSON’S VOCABULARY

“There is not a single instance in history where hate has brought joy to human beings. Hate destroys those who hold it in their minds and bodies. If humanity released all hate, fear, and resentment, then no dictator could ever rise, and we would have peace on earth. Peace on earth can occur only through peace within each of us.” (The Secret Daily Teachings)

 

I hear people say that “h” word all of the time and it hurts my soul to hear it. I found while doing research for Evolution of Self that the mere sound of the word does damage to our bodies. Dr Emoto in his book “The Hidden Messages in Water” explains this phenomenon quite well. I also discovered that calling this feeling into our biology creates free radicals which cause illness.

When I say something to friends about the constant use of this word, they laugh and tell me that it is “just an expression”, that it “doesn’t mean anything” but your subconscious doesn’t know that. It creates the free radicals that that feeling causes and goes on with its other business. I know that people ingest things that are bad for their biology all the time and usually it is a conscious choice, like smoking, drinking, eating foods with unhealthy additives, but why choose one more thing as silly as ‘an expression’ to bring down your body?

I am not sure I understand that. People say that they want to be healthy, they want to be pain free, they want to feel good, but they don’t want to give up the things that are making them ill.

I was at my chiropractor for lower back pain, and we were having a discussion about world matters. I made the offhand comment that “it makes my butt twitch” and before I finished the sentence, my lower back went into a very painful spasm. The Dr. said, “I think I see your problem and maybe you should change your vocabulary.” Your body listens to what your brain is thinking and reacts to it before you even are aware of it. You know, like when you see what looks like a bug or something scary and you react to it before you truly know what it was.

I learned that lesson on the spot and I changed my vocabulary. I don’t use that expression anymore. I made a conscious choice to not call that pain into my biology and I advocate that by consciously choosing to not use the 4 letter “h” word you will make a mental step in the right direction of your goal of wholeness. After all that is what Evolution of Self is about isn’t it? That is what you are working for, right? Balance, wholeness, wellness?

Listen to what you say/think and decide whether it is worthy of you, do your words reflect what you truly want to call into your life? If so, great; if not, then choose to better your situation by improving your vocabulary. Bright Blessings, Chessie
