Clients and Friends,
Do we really create our own reality? How much control do we have over our life experiences? Most of us feel helpless, inadequate and frankly overwhelmed by the challenging situations and relationships we engage in every day. Does life just happen to us or can we participate in the creation of the life we want to experience?
The phrases “What you put out comes back to you” and “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction” reflect the cultural and scientific law of ‘cause and effect’, karma or ‘the law of the circle’. This ‘law’ suggests that not only every action but every thought we think has an effect in the world and what is happening to me now is a consequence of thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behavior of my past.
If 90% of our behavior arises from our unconscious, which includes unremembered childhood experiences, physical and emotional in-utero experiences (that is the experiences of our parents which we were exposed to) and ancestral energetic patterns carried through our DNA, then our control over events emerges when we bring the unconscious into conscious awareness through intention and then use it to ‘act’ in the world rather than ‘react’ from our unconscious beliefs.
When I have a sudden discomfort I often ask myself: “what was I just thinking”? Invariably I realize my thoughts were negative and when I say to myself “cancel, clear” I watch the discomfort dissipate. If I am experiencing upheaval, challenge or distress this does not mean I am guilty of creating my horrible moment. I cannot know what I don’t know! So there is no guilt, although there may be guilty feelings. If I attend to these I experience resolution and can begin to heal.
Our thoughts are powerful creators when coupled with feeling and intention (will). When I realize how much power to choose my life experiences I give away by living from unconscious habits and reacting to life, I am free to take it back and live consciously. Being fully present means I am willing to face the often uncomfortable feelings underneath the surface of my daily experience and confront my ‘shadow’ side. Creating sacred space is not just about aligning with the belief in my divinity. It is about being fully present to all that I am including my ‘shadow’. It is about being willing to attend to whatever shows up when I realize my divinity and embrace my humanity and allow the history held (mostly unconsciously) in my body to reveal itself to me through my physical and emotional ailments (and my triumphs) and to allow healing to unfold (my divinity embracing my humanity).
My next LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE series will encompass tools and experiences to begin to integrate the practice of creating sacred space. This is where we can find the comfort and safety to fully realize and dissolve the old energetic patterns which may be interfering with the unfolding of our life purpose and our ability to live our best life. In sacred space we will map our minds (brainstorming) and our hearts to reveal the intuitive soul wisdom waiting to guide us. We will explore ways to identify and neutralize ancestral patterns held in our DNA and begin to explore vibration and sound to support our healing. If this speaks to you please join me for this fun and unique program. You can read more about it here.
If you are feeling stressed by life and the outer events happening during this unique time, please consider joining us this and each Friday for a Community Settling experience. If you are interested please register here (via email) and you will receive instructions on how to join the session. If you are unable to join personally, consider listening to the settling posted in the self-help section of my website as a way to support your own self-healing.
Following the governor's "Responsible Restart Ohio" plan, I have opened my office and am now available for sessions using the following updated protocols found on my website. If you are not comfortable with rescheduling, please know that I fully support you and encourage you to reach a place of trust and confidence within yourself before you do.
For those who need additional personal support, I am continuing to offer individual phone/remote sessions. For more information, and to check out what other people are saying, please read about it here, and contact me to schedule an appointment.
May we all be guided by the wisdom of our hearts and find support in our shared experience.
Namaste,
David
