Unhealthy Patterns

There can be unhealthy patterns in our home, but worse than those are the ones we hold onto in our bodies. Judgment, shame, blame, guilt, and hate; these patterns are so dangerous to our well being. When we are focused on how we have been "wronged" we tend to attract more opportunities to feel like we have been wronged. These negative feelings grow over time and like a junk room in our home, that impedes the flow of chi to our home, these negative feelings we hold onto impede the flow of opportunity, growth and love to our life. We can't live our authentic life being loving, accepting and forgiving because we walk around angry all of the time; trying to control everything and everybody. It's funny, control is really just an illusion.


What is worse than holding onto these unhealthy patterns is when we give them to our children and fill them with hate too. They take our wounds as their own, along with our limited perspective. Is it really fair to poison our children with these limited perspectives? Shouldn't we teach them how to think critically, looking at different points of view so they can learn? We don't share these limited perspectives with our children because we don't love them, we share them because we think we are protecting them. But wouldn't sharing love, acceptance, forgiveness and teaching them how to listen to themselves serve them better?


If we all would look at our enemies with compassionate eyes and from a different perspective, we might find out that we are more alike than we would like to admit. Once we realize that people that have hurt us are hurting inside just like when we are hurting inside we have hurt others; we will see with different eyes and show compassion and understanding. The world won't be such a mean scary place, because we see the beauty in it.


Go easy on yourself and others. Look for the beauty around you and notice how more beautiful things show up. Here is to peace.

Happy Independence Day!

We all celebrate July 4th, America’s Independence from Great Britain. We claimed our independence and were no longer limited or contained, we could grow and take charge of our destiny, for better or for worse, we were now in control of where we could go.

What a concept! Why don’t we break free from the old ways of thinking, the limited thinking of I can’t do this, I can’t do that and move into I can on do anything …. When you get really honest with yourself about what you want to do, you will attract the way. So I will ask you, if you could do anything with your life, what would it be? Don’t think about the practicality of it, what would fulfill your needs, on a soul level? Don’t concern yourself with the money, or the how, just feel it, and if it feels right then you will know that you can create it.

If you look back at your life, you will see how you have drawn circumstances and opportunities to you. Think about how you just knew something would happen and it did. (Good or bad things) That knowing you had in that moment attracted it to you. The fact of the matter is you can create it however you want. So, what is it that you would like to create?
