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.

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 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.

Life Is But A Dream

We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion.
The great task in life is to find reality. 
-Author/philosopher, Iris Murdoch

How real is the world you’re looking at?  How solid is the chair you sit in?  Very solid, is likely the quick answer.  Yet as quantum physics has proven, this is not the case.  Science now proves that nothing is in fact solid.

As Albert Einstein said, “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”

Although we often don’t think about it consciously, it’s only through our physical eyes that your phone in your hand appears solid, and your foot in your shoe appears solid, etc.  Everything around us, including “us” ourselves, is moving energy.  Levels of vibration; waves of light.

I’m going to dig a little deeper, and look at the question: how real is our reality?

My son used to get terrible night terrors.  My husband and I would find him thrashing and crying in the middle of the night; reaching out at something that wasn’t there.  Yet his eyes were closed.  He was clearly asleep and didn’t realize he was dreaming.  He was experiencing something that terrified him enough that he cried.  My guess is either you or someone you know has experienced the same type of nightmare.

But soon enough morning comes, we open our eyes, and here we are in this reality.  Yet didn’t that dream you just had seem real?  That night terror was real enough to my son that his body was physically reacting.  Although he never left his bed, and he never opened his eyes.  It was all in his mind, in another part of his consciousness.

So we shake off the fog of sleep, get up, and go about our day.

 

However – what if this reality we look around at, the one science has proven is not in fact solid but constantly in motion, is just another form of dreaming?  Another layer of consciousness?  A type of illusion and an elaborate imagining of our powerful Mind?

Waves of Love

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. 
I will meet you there.
-Rumi

Take a moment today to give your body permission to go slack and fully release all tension.  Close your eyes and let out a long, slow breath.  This isn’t a meditation, but a time of purposefully remembering who You are.  With the intention of dropping your awareness of the body, remind yourself that you are a wave of vibrating, moving energy.

You’re surrounded in a sea of information – it is all around you and inside of you.  It is higher consciousness. It’s Source/the Divine/God.  It is a thought away.  By dropping the rigidity of the body and the repetitious thoughts of the brain, you are free.  This freedom is who each of us really is.  The body is only an image – or a projection – formed when we open our eyes again (this is discussed in quantum physics).

Freedom vs. Resolutions

I’ve never really been in to New Year’s Resolutions.  Despite the fact that media and marketing wants us to believe a new year is a time to punish our bodies, or make us feel guilty about what we have or haven’t done, it seems most people have wisened up to the idea that resolutions don’t seem to work.  And they usually don’t feel good.

What if as the new year unfolds we instead acknowledge all that we already are?  What if you gave yourself permission to forgive yourself for anything you’ve done (or not done) in the past and accepted that you are right where you’re supposed to be?

Relax and feel the freedom in that.  Letting go of expectations is liberating and allows true creativity to flow from Soul and Spirit.

What if instead of fighting the body, we realize we aren’t the body?

How Does A Healing Session Clear Emotional Thought Patterns?

Much of our day is spent on auto pilot mode – the state of being when we allow our minds to revert to the thought patterns that are most familiar to us.  If we aren’t aware of our thoughts, they just love to take over.  Our fearful thoughts are like my kids with their Halloween candy.  The more candy they eat, the more they want.  Yum!  The more fearful thoughts we think, the more the mind creates them.
