Free To Be You and Me

Free to Be You and Me. Remember that children's movie that encouraged you to be yourself. No matter what? I don't remember all of the details, but I remember the message resonanted with me.

July 4, is the day of freedom for America. To be free is to feel no attachments, no pressures and to be so in love with yourself that you are free from failure, fear or judgement. To be free is to feel so intuned with yourself, and not care what anyone else thinks. To live at peace.. at least part of the time. Freedom is to be able to say what you want, do what you want and live how you want to. How gifted we are to live in the United States the country that proclaims to hold such freedom. A country where everyone wants to come to. What is great about freedom, is that you have a choice. You can choose to be happy.

Choose to look at your life differently. Choose to send out joy and gratitude regularly and watch the universe support your every thought and intention and wish. It is your choice. Choose right action and get right results. No one can ever control our mind, that is the best gift of freedom. You are free to be and think who you want to be. In essence we are all free!!

Inner Liberation through Zen

I recently started a zen meditation practice. I have been meditating pretty regularly but it was not consistent or disciplined. I figured if I went every week to a structured setting, I would get better results. I wanted to learn to stay in the moment and listen to my innner wisdom. It was pretty powerful every week. The first time I "sat" the term for sitting in meditation everything in the room turned into white light. The whole room was vibrating as energy. I felt high. Though the experience was powerful, it was minimized by the teacher. You don't minimize the highs or lows, you just observe.

The teacher is a zen monk and runs a pretty tight ship. There is no talking since we are there to meditate. Just bowing and acknowledging each other when we arrive. We walk in meditate and 'try to ease the world from suffering', by 'easing the suffering in ourselves'. This type of meditation is different because, we meditate with our eyes open, and stare at a wall. I want to give myself at least 8 weeks to solidfy the practice and then see if I can do it on my own.

I have noticed a lot of 'stuff' coming up. Feelings of joy and bliss and sadness and trauma. It is neat to watch these feelings come up and realize they are just feelings. It is hard work, but I am beginning to see the results and crave the weekly time to just become still. I have noticed I am staying more in the moment and beginning to have more gratitude and being appreciative of being in the now. Start discipling your own meditation practice. I am in the process of starting one myself. If interested let me know.

Free your mind of Limitations

I recently appeared live on a metaphysical TV Show in Santa Barbara. There was a producer who saw me at a holistic fair, doing readings and offered me to be on the show in the future. I thought it was a nice gesture, but on the exact date she promised, she contacted me. We connected immediately and made a date for me to appear. Funny I thought I would be nervous, but I wasn't really. I had been doing my meditation and had been learning to be in the moment. I also had been avoiding appearing on TV shows in the past, because I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with my work. I realized that I had to free my mind of limitations. Spirit had kept bringing me these opportunities and I felt I should go with the flow. It was a blessing in disguise. I realized that if I didn't like it at least it only aired in Santa Barbara.

This manifestation came out of the blue. I realize that every time I try to create my life the way I wanted, spirit threw me a curve ball and said.. uh no.. this way. I am learning to get out of my own way and to let spirit free my mind. There is probably more that is out there, it is not necessarily fame and fortune, but an energy drive or creativity, that is beyond my comprehension, the God Force.

How are you holding yourself back in relationships, life, money or freedom? You can free your mind through meditation, affirmations and listening to spirit. You have to listen to your gut, your body, those whispers, it is God talking to you and it could be an amazing call. Listen to your inner voice and free your mind of limitations, you never know where spirit may take you!!
