Pondering Life Questions With My Son…

The other night before bed, my 12 year old son asked me, “If heaven is so great, and you always tell me I’m a big ball of love and light that came from there and will return there after I die – then why do we come here? Why not just stay in heaven forever?”

Whelp. I guess he’s definitely my kid. At this point my husband would have said, “go ask your Mom.”

Why do we come to Earth? Perfect, let’s dive into this at 10pm on a Monday night.  I do love this question though and thought it worth sharing our conversation.

I began by explaining it’s my belief that it’s our Soul’s choice to visit Earth. I believe the larger aspect of us, which you might call your Soul/Higher Self/Awareness/Consciousness, chooses when to incarnate (I believe we incarnate for many lives), to which parents, which part of the world, and which circumstances. I like to think of it as going to an amusement park or choosing to play a game. But of course Earth steps it up a notch by being a wildly immersive, multi-sensory, all-inclusive game.

The game of Life.

Know Yourself As The Observer

I often talk to clients about finding peace among all that’s going on “out there” and “in there.” Something to try:

If you could picture yourself as a bit separate from what’s going on around you.  A bit of an observer – noticing the emotions, thoughts, sensations, smells, and sights of all that whirls and swirls in your awareness.  Both inside and outside the body.

Take a moment to stand still.  Still the body, slow the breath, and feel the weight of your feet on the ground.  Notice that when you stop – life continues to proceed and unfold around you.
There is nothing you have to DO.  Life is unfolding FOR you.

Now let go and take a step further back in your awareness.
Who or what is the still presence observing all that’s inside and outside?  Who or what is observing the emotions, thoughts, images, people?

The KEY to Real Change and Happiness…

Are you craving something different but not sure what?

Are you overwhelmed with thoughts of the past, anxiety over the future, or just plain indecisive?

Do you long to feel a connection to your purpose here on Earth?

Are you seeking more happiness? More peace? More adventure?
What a wonderful space to be in!
You’re starting to question life and your place in it.
Questioning and being curious is the SWEET SPOT.
Your Soul is knocking – maybe it’s time to slow down and listen.

How I Shifted From Anxiety To Intuitive Knowing

This is a little longer post, but there’s a message in it that I hope you enjoy.

We seem to live in a world of instant gratification, combined with a constant stream of suggestion and influence.  From Amazon to Instagram to InstaCart – we see image after product after lists of “10 Ways To A Better You…” An endless stream of THIS WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY. 

Think about all the information thrown at you in one day.  

Where does that stream of suggestions and news and ideas we absorb actually GO?  They take on an energy of their own and float around in our minds on an endless loop of INNER chatter.  Running in the background, behind the scenes, noticed and un-noticed by us. 

It’s no wonder so many people feel anxious and depressed.

Learn To Awaken & Trust Your Intuition

I’ll be teaching a 3 part class this Fall all about Awakening and Trusting Your Intuition.

Each of us has an inner guide – our Spirit/Soul/Connection to Source – and it often gets buried as our human mind and outside sources become our go-to navigators.  Rather than going within for peace and confidence and direction, it can become habit to do a quick Google search, read the news, ask a friend or family member, or read a book.  But we each have the gift of our own inner voice.  Have you been listening to yours?

Set Your Station To RECEIVER

As a curious person by nature, I can spend hours pondering metaphysical concepts, the Universe, and all things seen and unseen.  I know a lot of you reading this can relate.  But one day I read a quote about a group of people studying a map for years and years….yet never actually taking a trip.  This struck a chord with me.

While it’s a joy to ponder and plan and wonder about life – isn’t the whole point to experience it?

I started looking at how I was energetically living my life.

I came to know we are spiritual beings first and foremost – projecting into this body suit for a bit. This means we are energetic beings, we vibrate at various frequencies, and we are constantly creating and in motion.  We’re tuning into different frequencies all day every day whether we realize it or not.

Feeling Uninspired Lately? Remember the Bigger Picture.

If you’re feeling off balance, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your spark – here’s a great shift in perspective that I often give my clients as a visual:

Imagine your life – from start to finish – as a book. I’ll use myself as an example.  The character in my book is named Nicki.  I’m playing her part – as a mother, wife, friend, etc.  Look beyond the book and notice the presence holding the book, reading it, and experiencing the story from start to finish (birth to death).  Who is this presence viewing the story?  This is your Soul.  And your connection to the Great Spirit.  When the story of Nicki ends someday, this presence will continue on.

See how I am both the character in the story AND the presence looking at the big picture and the full book of my life?  I’m both.

Guided In The Moment (And The Middle Of The Night)

I woke up to the sound of my husband snoring around 4:30am today (the struggle is real dealing with a snoring spouse).  I tossed and turned for a while and then just settled into my thoughts.  Although I wasn’t feeling anxious, my mind was jumping around a bit – thinking of different activities to do with the kids today, etc.  

After an hour I moved downstairs to the couch.  There’s something comforting about being able to lay and look out the window.  I closed my eyes and told myself to find the space of peace I find during meditation.  My breath slowed, my mind followed.

Feeling Anxious or Overwhelmed? Do this simple Daily Energy Routine!

“Everything Is Energy” will likely be engraved on my gravestone someday.  Because my poor husband and kids have to listen to me talk about it all the time.  That statement and maybe “She also loved tequila.”

I’m constantly learning more about energy, the unlimited power of our Mind, the loving beams of light that connect us all, and just how permeable and changeable our reality is.  When we realize we are made up of light energy – we realize how vast and powerful we are.

Our bodies are energy, our emotions are energy, the world that looks solid around us is actually moving energy.  Light. Vibration.

This is a great thing because we can clear our energy field (auras, chakras) of gunk like fear and anxiety.  When we replace that lower vibrational energy (remember thoughts are energy) with the light and love that surrounds us, we experience less stress, more peace, and a body that can heal itself.  All you need to do is believe it’s possible.  What’s the biggest barrier here?  The limiting thoughts of the Mind.
