Is Your Idea in Incubation?

February 22nd, 2012

My mind has been spinning. It spins with all of the ideas I have to grow my dreams, of all the people in my life who I don’t get to speak to every day but who I feel connected to all the time, of the list of things to do in my immediate future, of my very fast approaching wedding day, and on and on and on.

Sound familiar?

I haven’t been able to formulate any long sentences, let alone a paragraph on my blog, or personal diary. But it’s NOW, this evening, this hour, this moment that is finally the right time for me to share what’s been evolving in me. (Thank God for sacred moments of stillness).

Ki Healing is taking a back seat for now, while I am working on getting myself married and then right after that plunging full forward on beginning a small online craft business. I am starting an online business making sweet, pretty, kind, cute, loving, healing gifts — primarily in the form of jewelry and accessories. I am fully committing myself to the fulfillment of this new birth, so without a doubt, Ki Healing will be affected.

For this lifetime, I am a healing artist, so that means that Ki Healing will still be available for services and I’ll continue to blog on Ki Healing, however, my direct focus will be on my online shop.

Do expect to see changes to Ki Healing’s focus, too. The topics I’ll be blogging about will likely be more about finding your purpose, and transforming yourself little by little in order to reach your dreams! This is a wonderful awesome powerful live journey that we are on, and I am absolutely convinced that every single one of us has a purpose to live out. I’m also determined that if you have a dream or a recurring nagging idea, that you must take action to make it happen. I encourage you to be the archetypal Fool and set foot on the path of the unknown.

I do have plans to bridge Ki Healing and my online gift shop, but as of now, I don’t have a clear vision on how that will be. The Angels have already informed me that when the time is right that will come. I fully trust that.

It may seem that this is sort of random/out of the blue, but the incubation time on this new direction has taken approximately 6 months before any full sentence structure about the idea could even be formulated. I share that because I think it’s important to the process of Becoming (and maybe even to Being) to notice just how long it can take for a feeling to move to an articulation and then to move to a declaration. Depending on what we are dealing with, this time varies, and we owe it to ourselves to give it the time it needs.

p.s. My Angels have been with me on this all the way and yours are with you all the way, too.

Until next time – Love, Listen, Learn, and Be Free.

Appreciating Your Way to Acceptance

January 11th, 2012

The Question At Hand: How do I learn to accept others for what or who they are? Do things easily get on your nerves or challenge your patience?

One of the keys to learning how to accept people for who they are and how to accept situations for what they are is to consider appreciation.

Appreciation means the recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something (consider this, irrespective of you). I italicized the word “recognition” because all we really have to do to appreciate is just acknowledge a generally good quality and then like the fact that in and of itself, it is a good quality, period. C’mon, is that really so hard?

Think about some of the things that you appreciate — some quiet time, someone offering help, a bonus of any sort, a pet, a great friend, an open parking space in a usually busy area, flexibility and so on, right?

Now try to think of all of the things that you can appreciate about people who challenge your cool. Think of a few life situations that challenge your cool. Take your time.

Answer this now — what qualities or characteristics can you appreciate about these people and situations? At first you may think, “NONE!”, that’s a normal reaction, but try to go beyond that. If learning how to be more accepting, tolerant, calm and peaceful are qualities that you would like to further grow into, then you’ve got to come up with more than “NONE!”. HINT: It will probably help to be objective about  it — think of the qualities and characteristics of the person(s)/situations in the world at large, in general, irrespective of you. What might others, other places and spaces appreciate about the people and situations that particularly challenge you?

Do you think it’s possible for you to appreciate these qualities, too?

When you discover that there are actually things to appreciate in challenging situations and in challenging person(s)/personalities (and this exercise requires you to discover things),  it will undoubtedly help you to limit the blame game and promises to keep your perspective open and clear, as well as your heart open and clear. Why wouldn’t you want that? This is sanity people.

When we can appreciate things and people for what they are, we are practicing acceptance for what is. There may still be comments we want to make, things we want to change, and conclusions to draw, but while we’re thinking all that we can also draw our hearts and minds to what there is to appreciate in people/situations — objective of your personal experience. Again, if it’s difficult to even think about doing this, go back to contemplating the things you yourself appreciate, next take the the leap to contemplating what may be appreciated about this person(s)/situation. Each time that you practice appreciation brings you nearer to embodying the qualities of acceptance, tolerance, calmness, and peacefulness that you desire.

Ahoy! Soul Mates and Twin Flames on the Horizon

October 11th, 2011

I’m finally going to get married. I’ve been waiting a very long time for this. Longer than I thought I would have to wait. My plan was to be married with children ten years ago. But, I was not ready (even though I thought I was) and I just didn’t meet guys who propelled me to be ready. Although it has been a long journey of getting to know myself through many unsuccessful relationships, I don’t regret anything. I’ve had the opportunity to meet many interesting characters and special people who have taught me so much about who I am.

I remember feeling grief over not having met the mate of my soul. It felt as though no matter what I did or focused on, I still felt incomplete in some inexplicable way. That was grievous for me. After enough dejection, I finally came to the reality. The reality was that my life was my own and would not be jump started once I met Mr. Right. I had to do my life by myself. I realized that I had been waiting for my so called prince in order for my life to begin. I had a wide awakening when I realized that doing this was a big mistake. While it was hard to let go of my illusions of the prince on the white horse, I was guided to understand that this was something I had to do if I was going to be the person I aspired to be.

I decided to focus on me, myself and I, to focus on further stabilizing my life. I let go of wondering whether I was ever going to meet my Soul Mate. I decided that I would just let life happen. I determined that if I never met my Soul Mate then there would be some good reason for it. I tried instead to trust God.

From that time to now, things have come full circle, until the next part.  For now, I thought I’d share my findings.

Keep in mind that there are different views on this and always go with what feels right within.

We all want to meet our “Soul Mate”, but maybe we already have and just don’t know it. See, a Soul Mate is not necessarily by definition a romantic love partner. A Soul Mate might just be a cat or a dog … or your best friend. Soul Mate might not be the Knight in Shining Armor, but a steady companion. A Soul Mate may or may not cause sensations in the loins, but will certainly lighten the heart and brighten the eyes. Soul Mates tend to travel meandering paths alongside of each other until the day those paths actually cross. From the beginning, their bond is united and strong. It’s a fortress kind of strong; not easily defeated. The dynamo-of-a-union by definition withstands the test of time. It’s as forever as forever can be. No matter where or when in the universe, if it’s in the books to be with our Soul Mate, we will be, over and over and over again.

Most of the time, when we talk about meeting our Soul Mate, we actually mean our Twin Flame. A Twin Flame is a romantic partner and is your One. So as you seek that special someone, meant only for you, that one that you wait so long to meet, that one whom you’ve undergone lots to be with, or that one that fits you like a glove, you’re most likely referring to your Twin Flame (aka twin soul).

With our Twin Flames there is definitely magnetism and the dynamics run high. The attraction may not be so easily explained. With Twin Flame partnerships, the strength of the bond really depends on the soul agreements we made before being born, our past lives and whatever lessons we have yet to learn. Relationships are one of the most important ways to learn about ourselves, about life, and about our purpose. So, it’s quite possible to feel as though we have met our twin flame (or flames) but we haven’t actually or perhaps we actually have, but the partnership is not eternal.

When we are ready we meet the One that truly holds the key that opens our heart. When we are ready, the “forever-ness” of this relationship depends on our continual willingness to open our hearts, keep growing, and learning tolerance.

Now following some gist check points to consider:

We don’t find love. Love finds us.

It doesn’t always look the way we think it’s supposed to. If it does, be curious enough to question it.

We really do get what we need.

Vulnerability allows for the heart to continue to open; don’t be afraid to take some risks.

Let humility be your friend, if you do, your cup will always have room for more …

Recognize the possibility that you could not meet your Soul Mate / Twin Flame here on Earth, this time around. This can be a sad thought at first, however, each one of us has a unique life path and purpose that we are meant to discover. That path comes with many life lessons, opportunities to learn and to grow. It doesn’t always go the way we want it to, though, sincerely believe that if God has placed the desire of finding your twin flame in your heart, trust that it will come to pass.

More to be added as time passes. Got more to add?
