Lesson 87: Speaking Silently

Ok, ok. The lessons that I don't want to do are often the ones where I say "I don't need to answer these questions. I already have these answers inside me. No need to go searching."

Well, there is always something to learn. And each time I have done the lesson anyway and gotten something from it.

This week's lessons are about my inner guidance.

How attuned are you to messages coming from your own body?
I feel pretty attuned to the messages coming from my body. This does not necessarily mean I always listen to them. Sometimes I silence them because some other part of me wants control. It is usually a brute part of me. 
How could you strengthen this kind awareness?
I believe I am currently doing that. I spend a lot of time specifically coming back into my body to feel and experience it.

Lesson 17: Open to Transform

Image
Spend a moment examining any areas of your life where you've experienced a persistent struggle. I would say these areas include finances and body/consistent healthfulness.  Before I go to the next prompt in my course, I would like to restate the assertion I fell into in my last blog: The places where I'm stuck are places where multiple, conflicting thoughts/beliefs are fighting for the same place in my head.  Have you truly been willing to change? Obviously, in the places I've been stuck, no. Or did you perhaps want to change the circumstances without doing the internal work first? Mmmmm...I think it's more like, the fear or whatever is keeping me stuck, is at least as strong as the desire to change.  How would you describe your own Willingness to Change when it comes towards receiving greater wealth into your life? I believe I am willing to change now. Hence, doing this course. Is your emphasis more on changing circumstances and situations, or are you trul...

Lesson 21: Check In WEEK 3

Image
I notice I am having some resistance to this week. One of the days I really enjoyed the questions. The rest of the week, I've had a bit of an internal eye roll that says something like "I love change. God, leave me alone!"  Well, it could be this stubborn insistence is part of what keeps me from changing the parts of my life that feel stuck. Let me try these questions in a fresh light... How do you resist change and how do you embrace it? When I look back over my life, I definitely have experienced and embraced change. But, there are areas that I stubbornly hold onto. One example is my evening routine, which is not particularly healthy, productive, or positive. It mostly consists of numbing activities. It's like a stake in the ground of my life that I've been thus far unwilling to pull up. Why? Well, it feel nurturing and nourishing on some level. It was my experience as a youth when my family would spend time together, so there are emotional connections ...

Let's get real

Alright, time to get real... I have been doing network marketing for one month now. When I write that, I get some movement in my abdomen. I have come to a place in the last few days where I am questioning moving forward with this company, etc, etc, etc. I recognize this for what it is: My Resistance. My resistance is quite brilliant. It has conjured many very reasonable excuses for not moving forward. One excuse, for example, is the ingredients in these products are sometimes not up to the standards that I have held in the past for products I use internally or topically. This seems like a very good excuse. A very good one, right? Is this in alignment with my beliefs? Do I agree with this? I have turned away other products for the exact same reasons in the past, and so on. I laid down in a moment of exhaustion (from my brain circling, and also from just having done some pranayama that moved energy that I'm now wrestling) and put my hands together in prayer and asked my...
