Fear…..Fear….Fear…(3)

I am glad you came this far because that means you have already achieved the first step and you are now ready to deal with your fear.
(I would suggest you deal with one fear at the time and that you take your time, this is an important point, we can never rush through inner work and everyone has its own adequate pace, respect yours).
Our next step is to “make space” for our fear, by accepting it. Say to yourself: I am afraid of …….., so what? That is ok, I am ok with being afraid of ……….. .
By doing that, we become two distinct things, one is we and the other one is our fear. Great!
Next, let’s deal with what has by now become a very real and conscious emotion:
Talk to your fear, remember you are not one anymore, at this stage there are already two of you, so tell it: I know you, I feel you, but I will not give away my power to you, I am in control here. I am going ahead and doing that which I must in spite of you. You may come with me but I am the one in control. Repeat it every time you feel you need to.
Be firm, be persistent and believe in yourself. You will be amazed with the results.
Much later you will realize that these fears, partly your old weak spots, are now the ones which became your greatest strengths.
Be aware that as you conquer one fear, another one will present itself but just like exercising a muscle, it gets easier and easier
Hope to have been of help and I would love to hear of your experiences regarding this. Drop me a line anytime.

FACING STRESS: The "TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES" OF OUR LIVES

I truly believe that the best way of overcoming stress is to face it!
It is advisable to find a therapist who can help you to do so.
Not all therapies follow this methodology to help us face our inner problems, the same ones that lie behind our daily stress, but the CranioSacral Therapy does exactely that. And how does it work?
Guiding you through the messages your body sends you CONSTANTLY!
The messages can be pain, compulsive behavior (like smoking, eating and drinking too much), migraines, insomnia, chronic diseases ...
Just make yourself available to relax and "hear" the message that any parts of your body sends you, especially those who need and require your attention.
And all this happens with the intensity you can give and receive ....

Learn more in the next article: Does CranioSacral Therapy apply to you?

Start listening now ... to your body messages!

FEAR…..FEAR….FEAR…(2)

Hi there.
So, lets ask ourselves what am I afraid of? I bet your first and immediate answer is either nothing, or not much…Well, stop and think again, take as much time as you need, relax, take slow deep breaths, try to keep your mind serene, keep breathing and allow the answer to slowly surface.
Think back to the various moments in your past where you thought things went wrong and check again which ones went so horribly wrong because you reacted purely out of fear. Clearly this work requires you to be completely honest with yourself so you can identify and allow fear to float into your consciousness.
Do not rush through this, you might have to try it more than once, remember that some fears are old and very well buried in our unconscious minds; you need to be brave and willing to “accept” their existence. Also, it all takes place within you alone, so unless you choose to share your experience with someone else, which you may, it will remain private.
I leave you to practice this till my next article,next week, where I will describe one of many ways of handling the fears you have come up with.
Love & Light

FEAR…..FEAR….FEAR…(1)

Why are we all so prone to it?
It all starts with a simple fact: we are all born with the seed of fear already. It is part of our human make up and it is necessary to our preservation system. Without it our survival with be at risk. Try and imagine what we, human beings, would get up to without that tiny little seed…..
Fear his healthy! Yes, as strange as it might sound …..Fear is healthy.
Our difficulties start when, unconsciously, we feed and nurture that seed. From being tiny and healthy, it grows like a weed to huge proportions of an amazing power. That is when fear becomes unhealthy, debilitating and even paralyzing. It inhibits us from having happy stable relationships, prevents us from success, from growing and evolving and from living our lives to the fullest.
This is the type of fear which we need to understand, recognise and deal with or it ends up controlling us and our lives.
It is most important that we become aware of our fears before we can start dealing with them. Most of us “carry them around” and are influenced by them without realizing it.
In my nest article we will suggest to you an easy technique which helps us gain awareness and recognise some of these fears.

STRESS: FRIEND OR ENEMY?

Stress can be considered a reaction to the pressures of day-to-day.

If a certain level, different for each individual, is exceeded things just go wrong!
Stress can be physical, emotional or mental.
Someone suffering from stress for a prolonged period, will lose its vitality and increase the likelihood of contracting diseases. Boredom, fear and depression will gain ground to settle.
Common symptoms of stress difficulty in sleeping, headaches and migraines, unjustified fears,anxiety, chronic fatigue, stomach pain, digestive problems, colds, outbursts of anger... a long list!
Over time these reactions can affect both the professional and the personal aspects of life.
Now, it's also true that stress is the starter of any positive performance: it increases the adrenaline without which we can not have a performance assertive and successful.
Therefore, it is up to each one of us to define what the optimal level is and to keep stress on the positive side.

If you can not, pelase, ask for help!
And that is the subject of the next article.

Until then keep an eye on adrenaline, do not to let it turn into stress!

HOW TO MAKE A NEW MOON WISH

1. If you have a Wish List from last month, read it over, to see which came true- then thank the Universe. If it's clear one or two wishes are no closer to coming true, consider revising them. What on your list have you edged closer to?
2. Decide on your Top Ten Wishes or Intentions for the coming four weeks.
3. Be as specific, (and please include World Peace!)
4. Write them down - either on a sheet of paper with a pen, or with coloured pens, pencils and so on. The more energy you invest, the better your results are likely to be.
5. Read them out to the Universe then either bury or burn your list, or set it aside so you can check it this time next month, to see how your wishes worked out.
THIS IS THE CRUCIAL BIT: Really really FEEL how you would/will feel if and when the wishes come true. Hold those feelings.
6. Get on with your week, safe in the knowledge that you've expressed your wishes to the Universe. Do all you can to make them come true.
7. Important: If you wish and wish and wish and your wish doesn't come true and you don't actually even seem to be edging in the right direction, then it's time to contemplate if it's the right thing for you.

NEW MOON WISHES AND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

The Law of Attraction is said to be one of the cosmic laws governing us humans. It states that what we put out, we get back. Like attracts like. What we expect, turns up. So a negative attitude invites negative events. A positive one, positive events.
It actually says in the Bible (Matthew 21:22) “You can ask for anything, and if you believe you have it, it’s yours”. Long before I heard about The Law Of Attraction, I puzzled over this sentence. Now it all makes sense!
A New Moon wish harnesses this cosmic law. It focuses our intentions, which is the first step to making dreams come true. What’s more, we’re told that when it comes to the Law Of Attraction, it’s vital to focus on what we do want rather than what we don’t, and a New Moon wish list does that.
Remember, when we’re moaning and complaining about life, we’re focusing on what we don’t want – therefore according to the Law Of Attraction theory, the less we complain, the less we have to complain about!
From an astrological point of view, the New Moon is an ideal time to make a wish because the two luminaries – the Sun and Moon - are aligned.
A really important step in making your New Moon wish list is to check in with yourself to see how making the wish makes you feel. If you make the wish with a deep down feeling of defeat, as though you already know this wish is impossible, then you’re in serious trouble!
Your emotional reaction to making the wish shows you how likely it is to come true.
According to the Law of Attraction, if we fear something will never happen, it’s a lot less likely to happen. If you feel hopeful or even confident as you make your wish, your chances are great! And once you have made the wish? Trust that it will come to you, if it’s what’s best for you.
