Self Sabotage

How to handle self sabotaging thoughts:

If your subconscious mind begins to try to self sabotage you, thank it for its concern and then ignore what it's telling you, just like you would do with a parent trying to give you advice whose opinion you didn't care to follow at that moment. It is just your mind running an old program that it has had success with keeping you stuck (feeling safe) and you do not need to listen to it anymore. It's similar to mindfulness meditation. The thought flows in, and then move your attention away from it. Over time, your brain will stop trying to self sabotage you. It's hard work, especially to find awareness in the moment, but with practice it gets easier and easier until you "smoke the monster out" and move onto the next thing you're working on reprogramming.

Energy Release

-
Today I was listening to Cory Muscara on the Know Thyself podcast. He is a former monk and described that when he meditates, his body will typically twist and turn and move, releasing all of the stored energy in the different parts of the body. He said most people will try to maontain a perfect posture which prevents that energy release. I've heard this described by people before who have said that during meditation they found themselves twisting their upper body all the way around as a big energy was released. This does not surprise me, however I felt like I probably have never really experienced this before, outside of obvious things like exercise. That was, until I woke up in the middle of the night in a twisted position and wanting to turn over and having the thought "dont move too much, you will wake him." I already felt like people who move a lot in their sleep are more stressed, traumatized, etc., however I used to think that it was just because they couldn't s...

The Call for Expansion

Lately, time has been moving a little differently to me. In March, I made the decision to quit my corporate world job and to pursue my passions for the first time. Since then, I live mostly in calmness. I live most of my days doing only things I enjoy. It is truly odd to live this way after grinding for so long, feeling stuck. There's this weird thing happening, like I have become more aware. I am more aware of subtle changes, of people aging, of things moving forward in this unstoppable fashion. It's almost like a part of my brain is becoming attuned to time from a non-linear standpoint. The universe is sharing very strong and clear messages that I am required to change now, that I am being asked to sacrifice different behaviors to make space for my next mode of being. Of course, I cannot deny the universe what it is asking of me. I signed up for this before I was born, I have to follow it to completion or else I will have to experience it all again. I am the conduit, in Reiki...

Transition

I did it, I finally left the corporate world a week and a half ago to chase my dream for the first time ever.  It took me so long (my whole life) to figure out what I was meant to do on this life, but once I figured it out, I had to follow my heart and go for it.  I an officially doing Reiki, meditation, sound therapy and yoga full time and I'm so excited. I know I am here to be a healer, to help lift the level of the sea, to spread love and healing to all those around me.  I imagine there will be challenges along the way, but I know I can make this work because it is what I am called to do. 💗
