Let go and be at peace

The Universe is asking us all to let go of our old ways of being, which no longer serve us so our world can experience a total reset. And, yet it is harder than it may seem to be and you may be fighting/struggling in that process of letting go. For you see, we as humans create and maintain problems because they give us a sense of identity. Perhaps this explains why we often hold onto our pain far beyond its ability to serve us. We replay past mistakes over and over again in our head, allowing feelings of shame and regret to shape our actions in the present. We cling to frustration and worry about the future, as if the act of fixation somehow gives us power or control. We hold stress in our minds and bodies, potentially creating serious health issues, and accept that state of tension as the norm. We sometimes even find our identity in our struggles and pain. We choose to hang out with people who we clearly never feel safe or good about ourselves when we are around them. And when asked to let go of the people who clearly do not serve any purpose in our lives, we make up excuses for us to stay attached. Today, it is time for you and I to surrender and let go. It is time to recognize that there will never be a time when life is simple and there will always be time to practice accepting that. Today allow yourself to recognize that every moment is a chance to let go and feel peaceful. Today, allow yourself some quiet time to see the lessons that you have learned from the relationships, the jobs and the thought patterns that were intended to teach you valuable lessons but now are in truth keeping you stuck; stopping you from moving forward. Today, allow yourself to let go and know If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. Let go and free yourself from the past so you can move forward in a whole new way.

Just for today, I am willing to let go. I let go of childhood fears. I am now a secure, empowered human being. I let go of all people, places, things and beliefs that no longer serve any purpose in my life. I forgive everyone for all past perceived wrongs. I release them with love. They are now free and I am now free to move forward with love in my heart.I now release all hurt and resentments. I am safe and I am willing to change. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Summer Solstice, New Moon Eclipse and six retrogrades-YOU must change

Tonight we have a New Moon Solar Eclipse which will happen just moments after the Summer solstice, Eclipses and solstices are said to mystical moments where the veils are lifted in the play of light and shadow. Such moments are a total reset of our consciousness, as if all of the heavens are pausing for us to take a collective breath. Those two highly powerful events are happening during a month with six planets in retrograde. Retrogrades are a time of deep introspection so that we can reset our intentions and revision our lives. All those profoundly powerful energies are intended to teach you and I how to protect and nurture ourselves by creating healthy boundaries and making certain that YOU are cared for, so you can in turn help others. You can never help others without harming yourself until you learn to set healthy boundaries. As we collectively re-birth a new foundation on which we live our lives by based on the principles of love, equality, peace and balance, we must all trust the unknown while finding answers within. Today, make time to go within and ask for guidance to be re-birthed. Do not go searching for those answers outside of yourself. Do not think that these energies do not effect you or your life. Today, ask for guidance on how you can bring love and peace into this world, while bringing more wholeness and nurturing to yourself. This is not a time to be afraid. In truth, you are waking up to new wonderful possibilities. It is time for us all to dream a better world into being. You have the power to change your life. Today and always that change begins inside of YOU.

Just for today, I trust my inner wisdom. I know that when I create harmony in my heart and my mind, I will find it in my life. The inner creates the outer always. I am a master at creating healthy boundaries that save my time, energy, creativity and emotional well being. I am at peace even in the midst of chaos. No person, place or thing has any power to upset me. I am safe and Life loves and support me in every possible way. Out of this situation only good will come and so it is.

You past is done! Let go of it and move on

Louise famously said that self-approval and self-acceptance in the now are the keys to positive changes. And, we definitely are all being faced with the need to change in this present moment, right now. Today before we experience the transformative energies of the solar eclipse which will occur tomorrow, we need to let go of the past and focus on what we want to create in our lives, now and moving forward. You cannot change the past, so it does virtually no good to ruminate about it. You cannot go back nor can you stay where you are no matter how hard you try or rebel against change. And, you cannot hold onto the past. The only time when past reflection is productive is when you are looking for lessons to apply so that you can move forward. Today be willing to let the past go. Embrace yourself and your life today, set powerful goals for yourself, and work on accomplishing them from a space of self-acceptance and self-approval. It is time to make profound changes in your life-no matter who you are or where you are in your life. Today, let go of your past and all the people, places and things that you clearly know do not serve any purpose in your life except for a false sense of safety and security. Believe in yourself and accept that only you know what is right for you and only you can create the life you desire. You have been criticizing yourself for years, today love and approve of yourself and see what happens. Be willing to let go with grace and ease for you can never move forward when you remain attached to the past.

Just for today, as I move through the layers of other people's opinions and beliefs, I see within myself a magnificent being, wise and beautiful. I lovingly forgive all of the past. I choose to fill my Life with joy. I love and approve of myself unconditionally. I am willing to let go of all that no longer serves me. The past is done. I now turn my total attention to this present moment and create the life I desire. I am safe. It is only change and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

It is time to be healed

Mercury goes retrograde today and for the next three weeks, the trickster planet will bring technical snafus, communication mishaps and cross wiring. However, 2020 being the transformational year that it is, the effects of this retrograde will be felt much, much deeper. And, as we heal the wounds of our collective psyche, our personal traumas will be unearthed as well. This next month will be devoted to learning more compassionate ways to communicate; to deepening our understanding of how to nurture ourselves while finding strength through vulnerability, and understanding how to make this planet a safe home for all beings. Individually our childhood wounds may make themselves known so we can finally process them and finally heal those wounds for good. This is part of the healing that needs to happen. The eclipses over the next two weeks will bring many revelations so stay awake and stop avoiding the healing that is being presented to you. This is a liberating process, not one to be feared so today and during the next three weeks, stay open to the possibilities and allow yourself to heal. Do not run any way from the lessons. Do not find ways to avoid the healing that is presented to you and be willing to change.

Just for today, I am ready to be healed. I have the power to heal myself. I recognize that healing means to make whole and to accept all parts of myself, not just the parts I like. I am willing to learn something new about myself every day. I am willing to change. I am safe, divinely protected, guided and loved. All is truly well in my world. And so it is

Mercury Retrograde in Cancer

Mercury is going retrograde in the sign of Cancer tomorrow and you are in all probability feeling the effects already. This retrograde combined with the energies of Venus and Gemini, which are also in retrograde right now, will stir up some uncertainty and some deeper questioning about the direction of your life. And, Mercury moving retrograde in the sign of Cancer can also heighten your sensitivity and can bring increased power to the words you speak and the thoughts you think. With Mercury retrograde in Cancer, you and I are going to be able to see and feel the power of the words we speak and the thoughts we think more clearly. You and I will be able to see how our thoughts and words impact the way we see the world and how they also impact the world as a whole. For you see, every thought you think, every word you speak, and every action you take, plays a part in the world that we live in. These things affect us the most but they also create a ripple that is felt across the entire world. Today, remember, words and thoughts have more power during this Mercury retrograde, which means you can also use them to set goals and manifest your desires into creation. Use this retrograde period to think about what you wish to create. Know your words and thoughts are powerful tools of creation so use them to your advantage! Now is the time to share what's in your heart through your communication. Your words and thoughts are so powerful. Today use them wisely.

Just for today, I recognize that every thought I think and every word I speak is creating my future. I know that every word I speak is an affirmation. My subconscious is always listening. I monitor my self talk making certain it is supportive and uplifting of myself and others. I have the power to create all that I wish for with my mind and my thoughts. I am truly someone special. I am safe. I am loved and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Give yourself permission to let go and free yourself from the past

Everything is changing. The status quo is no longer acceptable in our outer world, and that includes our personal and professional lives. And, you and I are being given revelations about people and circumstances that we can no longer ignore. Today, it is time to let go of toxic circumstances, people, choices and behaviors, which in reality no longer serve any purpose in your life, even if your monkey mind tells you otherwise. You can no longer hold on to them for the sake of safety and security. You can no longer ignore the the signs, symbols and synchronicities which are messages telling you to let go. If you ignore those messages that you are receiving the Universe will make the changes for you and you in all likelihood will suffer because you were unwilling to let go and change. Today, let go of everything that in reality is holding you back, keeping you stuck and yet they make you feel safe. Today, let go and do what's right for you and nothing less.

Just for today, I am willing to let go. I give myself permission to let go of all the people, places, things, beliefs and habits that no longer serve any purpose in my life. I now choose to release all hurt and resentments. I let go of all fear and doubt and life becomes simple and easy for me. I am worthy of the very best in life and I now allow myself to accept it. I am safe. I believe in myself and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

You can be happy right now just as you are

Most of us have this strange need to NOT take responsibility for our own happiness. We expect it to come from an outside source. And, although happiness can come from outside it is the kind of happiness that is always fleeting. For you see, true happiness, long lasting happiness has to come from within. Today, consciously begin to recognize that your happiness cannot come from the outside world. It must come from within you. And, when you are able to acknowledge that happiness already resides within you, a pressure will release because you’ll no longer feel ruled by your ego’s need for more or better. Happiness doesn’t have to look like a storybook-sometimes there is no happy ending. Happiness is simply the realization that life is just fine as it is and that you can be happy just as you are right now. And, you will experience true happiness when you allow yourself to be content in your true self, recognize the innate greatness of the world that surrounds you, and know that the people and things in your life hold no power over you. You are the master of your own happiness. You are already complete. When you realize this, there will be happiness in everything you do. Today, stop looking outside yourself for happiness. Stop looking to people, places and things to make you happy. Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections and see the blessings and the true wonder that is your life.

Just for today, no person, place or thing has any power over me for I am the only thinker in my mind. I create my world and everyone in it. I recognize that happiness is an inside job and all that I seek is already within me. I am grateful for every experience I have ever had for it has shaped me into the person I am right now and that is exactly who I am supposed to be. I am safe, divinely protected, guided and loved. I choose to be happy and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Life is simple and easy

There are a lot of people who have convinced themselves that life is too hard, and that good things only happen to a select group of people, or that some people are just lucky, and life favors some and not others. Fortunately, that is not the truth. In fact, we are all the masters of our own destiny, and if you put the work in you will undoubtedly see positive results. The choices you make have consequences, and the thoughts you think affect the choices you make. So today the best place to start if you want to change your life is to change your thinking. When you take full responsibility for your thoughts and actions, you can never blame anyone or anything for the way your life is today. It’s not what happens outside that affects your life; it’s the reaction you have to what happens outside that affects your life. You are not your mind, you are the person who can control what your mind thinks. Today, consciously begin to take responsibility for your thoughts and then take responsibility for the life you create. One thought, one decision, one action at a time. You create your world and everyone in it. Today, choose to create the life you desire.

Just for today, I recognize that Life is very simple. I create my experiences with my thinking and feeling patterns. And what I choose to believe about myself becomes my truth. I do not fix my problems. I fix my thinking and my problems fix themselves. I recognize that in order to change my life on the outside, I must change inside first. The inner creates the outer, always. I am a master of mind mind, not a victim of my thoughts. All is well. I am safe and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

FORGIVE!

Forgiving someone doesn’t mean condoning their behavior. It doesn’t mean forgetting how they hurt you or giving that person room to hurt you again. Forgiving someone means making peace with what happened. It means acknowledging your wound, giving yourself permission to feel the pain, and recognizing why that pain no longer serves you. It means letting go of the hurt and resentment so that you can heal and move on. Today, consciously set your intentions to forgive-forgive yourself and forgive those people who are the hardest ones for you to forgive. No matter how justified you feel you are, no matter what “they” did, if you insist on holding on to the past, then you will never be free. Forgiving yourself and others will release you from the prison of the past. Today, give yourself a gift that will ultimately free YOU from the past and help you move on to the future.

Just for today, I forgive everyone for all perceived wrongs. I release them with love. I recognize that the person who is the hardest to forgive is the one I need to forgive and let go of the most. I forgive myself for not being perfect. I am living the best way I know how. I forgive and set myself free. I am safe and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

Kindness

Most people are doing the best they can from their level of consciousness. However, when in a heated moment, we all tend to forget that fact and allow ourselves to feel attacked and in return feel the need to retaliate-to fight back. However, hatred and anger cannot wipe out hatred and anger, only love and understanding can do that. Today, recognize that we are all going through highly emotional times and may not be truly reacting from our higher selves but rather from a place of fear. Today do not wait for an apology from those who you perceive have wronged you. Instead accept the fact that the other person may never change but you can change the way you respond and react. Resentment and seething anger will poison you from the inside. Today, instead of fighting consciously choose to forgive. Forgive the other person for yourself. Let the anger go.Amazingly, sometimes just that choice can change the other person. But, you have to go first. Today do not underestimate the power of kindness-it has the power to change your life and your world. Choose to be kind today.

Just for today, I recognize that the kinder I am to others the more kindness I attract. Divine peace and harmony dwell within me and all around me. I feel compassion and love for all people including myself. I forgive everyone for all perceived past hurts and recognize that we are all doing the best we can with the knowledge understanding and awareness that we have right now. I choose kindness in every situation and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Shocking awakenings

We are at the mid point of Venus retrograde, which is helping us or in some cases forcing us to open our hearts so we can expand our minds. However, that energy may be making you feel overwhelmed, confused and helpless. We are all being asked to re-examine every area of our lives-relationships, careers, health and our role in society as a whole. Today, if you find yourself feeling completely overwhelmed, confused or just plain angry, remember to look within not outside of you because you will not find the answers or the peace you seek in another person, place or thing. We all have been experiencing shocking revelations about ourselves and the world we live in. Today, allow yourself to stay awake. Your old ways of coping and dealing with adversity will no longer serve you. Today, ask a higher power than yourself to help you to usher in a new dawn of love and awakened awareness. Much will be revealed to you on this heart expanding day but you must allow yourself to first listen and then be willing to learn and to change.

Just for today, I trust the power that created me to protect me, guide me and love me at all times and under all circumstances. I have faith in the unlimited loving power of the Universe. I love and approve of myself and I trust the process of life. I am safe and Life supports me in every possible way. Out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

Anxiety, attachments and addictions

Whether we consciously acknowledge it or not, most of us live in a constant state of anxiety. We are concerned with what we may lose, or what we may not gain. We fear the unknown and we also live in grief and regret over what we have left behind. We then attach ourselves to substances, people, places, things in an attempt to fill the empty space within us- in an attempt to quiet our constant anxiety. We also can become attached to blaming people or judging people, to illness, to debt, to being a victim and to being rejected.And when we become attached so tightly we become "addicted" to whatever we have chosen to give our power over to-our power to feel whole and happy. Today, it is time for you and I to move beyond those things that are giving us the illusion that they are responsible for our happiness. Being addicted is giving up your power to a substance, a habit or anything that you have given permission to control your life. Today, you can take your power back. Today you can choose to develop the positive habit of knowing that life is here for you and that it is ultimately your thoughts and beliefs that keep you from feeling safe, happy and loved. Today reclaim your power and recognize that you always have a choice to choose how you feel and how you react. Every moment also gives you an opportunity to break free of the bonds of your attachments; to begin to climb out of the pit of suffering in which you believe that something outside yourself is going to fix your life and make you feel happy and whole. Today, choose to see what you have become attached to and be willing to let go and to know that your happiness is an inside job. Let go of the fear and anxiety; let go of whatever and whomever you have given your power over to and move on.

Just for today, I forgive myself and set myself free. No person, place or thing has any power over me for I am the only thinker in my mind. I create my own reality and everyone in it. I recognize that I always have a choice. I now choose to release all hurt and resentment. I am safe, divinely guided protected and loved. Everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

You cannot return to the past---it is gone and you must change

The eclipse energies, which we are now all experiencing, are opening our eyes to new ways of being. In addition to the oppressive structures of our society, you and I are waking up to aspects of our lives that are no longer sustainable for us. EVERYTHING is changing and there is so much for us to learn about ourselves and about the world around us. And, it is time for us to engage the world with our full power and presence. That means releasing ourselves from other people's expectations of us and it means that it is time to show up and be seen and be heard. It is no longer a time to be tame. It is no longer a time to play it safe. Today, accept that you nor I can go back to who and what we were before we were awakened and that you will suffer if you continue to try. Today, we all must move forward by releasing the past; releasing ourselves from other people's expectations of us and to begin to co-create a better world individually and collectively. This change begins with you showing up completely as yourself. You are a powerful co-creator and today it is time for you and I to co-create a better world together based on our new ideals, new insights and new ways of being. Transformation is inevitable, today begin to be the change you want to see in your world.

Just for today, I am willing to change. I am willing to see how and where I need to change. When I am willing to change, it is amazing how the Universe brings me everything I need to help me to change. I have the courage to let go of all that no longer supports or serves any purpose in my life. I release it all with love. I am now free to move forward with love in my heart. I am safe. It is only change and everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is.
