Make a not-to- list

I recognize that in attempting to create your vision for 2011 many of you have hit a wall. This wall is uncertainty, fear, doubt, my personal favorite "I don't know" and avoidance. I am going to make a suggestion to you so that you can create a door way through this wall. Here it is: MAKE A NOT-TO-DO list. This list contains all the things that you don't want to happen, include people, activities, habits, clutter, unproductive thinking that you would benefit eliminating from your mind and your life so you may move forward. Once you have made this list, write next to it the emotion that put it on the list. Example: I don't want to go out with _______  emotion: Dread, he/she is negative; I don't want to get more in debt emotion: stress, fear, anxiety.
Once you have purged all  these "NOT-TO-DO'S" remind yourself of all your accomplishments, strengths and talents, include your loyal support team.  Lastly, remind yourself that "I am tuned in to my inner source of direction. I confidently rely upon this inner source to guide me perfectly."

Facing Your Truth

What do you do when someone impose their wishes and desires on you? Do you do what they wish or do you stand up for your own truth? In the past, I would do what other people expected me to do whether I liked it or not because I didn't want to hurt their feelings, especially when it was my family members. I remembered feeling awful or frustrated; I was torn between pleasing them or pleasing myself.  Since then, I have learned more about myself: who I really am, what is my truth, what is not truth or what is a lie, my passion, my desires, and my goals.   Thanks to my friend and co-worker Camille Crump for opening up my eyes to see the truth about myself.  It is a process, sometime it is a very painful process but it was done with love. It takes time, willingness to be open, believe in myself, trust and surrender.  I won't say that it is an easy process. I am still working on it.
Many of you might feel the same way as I did. You might feel it is hard to say no to others because you might offend them.  You are only responsible for your own feelings or your own truth, if other people get their feelings hurt; it is because of their ego, not you.  So my challenge to you is to stand up to your truth.  How do you know if it is the truth or the lies you have been telling yourself?  If anything that you believe is true causes you worry, frustration, uneasiness, or any part of it is not true, then it is a lie.  Start with  loving yourself and believing in yourself, you never know what miracles will lie before you, or what emotional freedom you will have.  Because everyday holds the possibility of a miracle.

Follow your Passion

"New year, New You." Yes, I will beat this one until it is February and you have gone back to your old habits. I will begin again in March reminding you of what you are capable of achieving. You have been for warned.
Okay with that said we must first find out what you are Passionate about. I am constantly amazed at how many of us do not allow ourselves to feel this emotion. We may allow ourselves to feel happy, sad, enthusiastic, thrilled and maybe a tad bit of desire(this is usually for a food such as chocolate). Not so much Passion. I must ask "What are you passionate about?", "How do you know you are Passionate?", "What does Passion feel like?"; these are not hypothetical questions I would really like to encourage you to answer these. If you are unable to answer these questions, then I will ask you "How come?" Is it because Passion is one of the highest emotional vibrations there is and you do not feel worthy enough to feel it, or is it because your perception of Passion is ascued by your belief Passion is connected to "Sexual relations?"

Passion is one of the highest emotional vibrations it is meant to be a motivator. It has you acting with precise purpose and will not stop until achieved. Once achieved you have a feeling of euphoria. I don't understand how come we don't allow ourselves to feel this more. I think it sounds incredible.

The reason for the title "Follow your Passion" is if you know what your Passion is it is rather difficult not to follow it. I encourage you to find your Passion.

Be Brave

It is a new year. What goals have you set? Where do you want to be? My suggestion is don't be fooled by illusions of fear. This year may already feel overwhelming, uncertain or a tad unsafe. I would like to let you know that there is Nothing to fear. If you look through the illusion, pass the fear and see the amazing opportunity before you, you will realize that this will make you stronger, more experienced and have a higher developed self esteem.  Be Brave by staying focused, committed and patient. Pray and ask for guidance, and trust that you are being assited.

So am I writing this to help you out or for me? I believe it is for both.

Cancer: a deadly disease?

Last week I received the news from my facebook that my friend passed away due to cancer. He was young mid 20's, he had been fighting cancer for almost a year. He chose to do chemotherapy and died due to the complications. How many of us heard or received similar news about our friends, family members, or colleagues? My family had been through similar experience of cancer with my dad; however, my dad survived and has been cancer free for almost 15 years now. My cousin also has cancer and her family is doing everything they could to make her feels comfortable. Her doctor told them that there is nothing they can do medically to help her; they give her 3-8 months to live. It has been almost a year now, she is still alive.

How is it that people response differently to cancer. Is it the treatment that kills them, or is it the word "CANCER" that make people give up their hope of surviving and call it quits, or is it the environment that they are in?
The cause of cancer is not only physical; it also has emotional connection to it. Here are the emotional causes:"Deep hurt. Longstanding resentment. Deep secret or grief eating away at the self. Carrying hatreds. "What's the use?"" Are these sounding familiar? We all experience some of these emotions, but why are some of us allowing these emotions to control our life and dying because of it.

Isn't it time for a change and letting go of those hurts. A time to look for an alternative way of healing cancer: diets, supplements, essential oils, alternative medicine or CAM, prayer, affirmation, change of lifestyle and belief system(Meme's). The most important part of healing cancer or any dis-ease is healing from the inside or within first. Stop blaming other people and start accepting and loving yourself or own your own truth. Here is helpful affirmation: "I lovingly forgive and release all of the past. I choose to fill my world with joy. I love and approve of myself."

Let the healing begin.

Identification

It has recently been brought to our attention that there is confusion on who is writing on the Inspired Life Sanctuary blog. We would like to take a few minutes to clarify who all is writing. There are three individuals, if you would like to learn more about each one of us please go to our website www.inspiredlifesanctuary.com. To understand our writing styles we would like to state that each of us like to write about experiences or awareness's that we have had or are experiencing. Sometimes it is sharing information on what we have learned whether it is from a class we are taking or from a client. With that said there is also a distinct difference in our tones. Now, to further assist you in identifying who is writing Camille will be adding guidance from Angels/Fairies/Guardians at the end of her writings.She will also end it with:

Surrender & Trust


Guidance: You are a leader (doubting), Peaceful, and Generosity. How did these help you today?

Dare to Dream

As children we can do anything. We believe we can fly to the moon and will create ways to do it. Even though it may appear as if we haven't even left the backyard. As we get older we are told more and more to stop "Daydreaming", to "Get our mind out of the clouds". How many of us have allow our minds to wander off into nothing when sitting at the office, a desk or sometimes in the middle of a conversation? I have.

At what point do we lose that part of us? Does it happen automatically when we turn 18 or 21? Does it happen when we reach our 30's as this is when we are "Suppose to settle down and be responsible"? I can not help but hold onto the thought that we don't really stop dreaming, it is more likely that we are being told what is "acceptable" to dream.

For me Dreams are obtainable possibilities that I aim for. The great things about dreams is they do not ever have a deadline. Dreams also have no limits. When I give myself permission to imagine reaching a dream, that child like wonder and excitement reappears. I love the way it feels so I dare myself to dream daily.

How often do you?

Crystal Skulls

I was in a local metaphysical shop earlier this week to pick up a new crystal (as you can never have to many). I used to love going into this store when it was in a different location. The feeling isn't as welcoming and it smells. Enough said on that.
As I walked around I noticed that they had a few new things one of them being, "Crystal Skulls". I immediately flashed to the more recent Indiana Jones movie and a SG-1 episode, this of course had me chuckling. I continued perusing and was accosted by a young girl walking around with her friend. They were obviously new to this type of stuff, full of questions, side comments and loud bantering. I answered the questions they were kind enough to wait for. I could tell the clerk was attempting to keep them interested. I made my selection, purchased it and was headed out when this same young girl came at me with a "Crystal Skull", "what is this for, why do they have this, what would you do with one, these are so weird." I looked at her with wonder and replied. "Would you like the real version or the Hollywood version?" I lost her because than she walked away asking "What movie where Crystal Skulls in?" I left gladly leaving the clerk with them.

The reason for me writing about this is due to the current belief's that are flying around about the "2012". Did I lose you? I won't go into the connection as it maybe to long for this letter. Needless to say, my questions are "Are you afraid the world is ending in 2012?", "If so how is this belief effecting the life you are currently living?"

Intention & Focus

It's the beginning of the year, do you know where you are going? Better yet do you know where you want to go? When I ask clients what they want they immediately reply "happy", "rich" or "lose weight" . While these see simple and reasonable, the question still remains "How do you plan on getting there?" For most the to do list begins with; if I just do this or if I did that I could do it. The next statement is "How do I motivate myself to do it?". Well first motivation comes from the excitement or value you may receive from doing something. If you are not excited it isn't going to happen, because your heart isn't into it. Now, what are you willing to give up or do to receive the benefits from achieving these? Yes, you do have to give something up.

Here is a challenge my challenge to you; have you ever planned a trip? What did you do to prepare for it? What steps did you take to make it happen? How excited where you to go?
