THREE WAYS TO END CONDITIONING

To regain control of your life we need to see how conditioned we are and have grown up... this I call fixed behavior :-)(patterns) either negative or positive...there are 3 ways to change negative conditioning: Reflection, Contemplation, Meditation!
Reflection: to stand back and take a look at yourself and your actions like an outsider, reconsidering actions of the past, and breaking it down and then deciding how to act next time.
Contemplation: this involves thinking or contemplating about one or a few things you want to change or that need a new outlook, contemplating  negative habits and using your God given intuition to find out what it is all about, and persisting until answers come, those answers will move your energy in a new direction.
Meditation: is a search for awareness that is NOT conditioned, it takes your restless and confused mind and leads it to clarity, by hooking into your intuition, and connecting with Spirit... when we meditate we move upstream going beyond the material; and beyond the mind of thoughts, to finally arrive at stillness, where everything is easy... meditation works best when done daily :-)

Controlling Behaviour

How do you know when you are helping someone or trying to control their lives? every day i listen to people who interfere into other peoples lives, unknowingly obviously, because we are raised to always try and rescue people... this however is breeding a generation of victims, control freaks and too interfering individuals, not trusting other people or themselves enough to make decisions...my rule of thumb for this is: *only give advice when asked other wise just listen *let the other person come up with some solutions first before giving yours - this is very empowering! *do not live in the ego thinking you know best, sometimes we learn the most through mistakes, so let the people around you make them... *be aware of your own fears, as usually we project them on to others...we all have our own lives to live...concentrate on YOURS, and let others concentrate on THEIRS. :-)

Timing

Timing, its something we all either accept, fight against, get frustrated with, or just give up on... :-) the key to understanding timing is that usually things don't fall into place on OUR time, but on the universes time, when the time is right...but somehow we feel the need to push and pull, and do whatever we can to have things our way :-) usually when just accepting blockages as signs that the TIMING is not right yet, then we can see life, blockages, open and closed doors as positive things, to help guide us in the right direction...when the timing is right then everything falls right into place...if its meant to be it will be!

Take some ACTION

It is simple, in this day and age, where technology and a 24 hour service provides us with plenty of options and opportunities to take action and change our lives...sometimes it is sad to see or hear about people who just cant get into action, due to self-esteem problems, lack in motivation, laziness, manipulative ways, or just plain sabotaging themselves and the people around who allow it...if you want something more out of life, point that finger right back at yourself, and do something about it... talent and potential is everywhere, sometimes being used and sometimes not...but the difference between the people who are happy and those that are not, is very simply a case of taking responsibility, for YOUR own actions...not blaming others or finding excuses! if all that people see is problems, they will never see the solutions...so start by looking at how you can Change, take responsibility for yourself, and then TAKE ACTION, and make things happen :-)

Hello From Heaven

My realization when it comes to the afterlife and people who have passed on has changed a little in the last while...I've had  a very strong breakthrough personally and i feel the reason why we don't cope with loosing people or dealing with death is due to our belief system...I feel the way we are brought up and the way we see death is actually holding us back... we grow up with the notion that when someone passes on they are gone, they are dead, and not apart of our lives anymore... but the reality is that many people who have lost people still feel their presence, some even see them...and what became very clear to me was, that conflict of thought and feeling can cause confusion...in our minds we tell ourselves they are dead, they are gone...but in the meantime only their physical body has gone, and they still live on, we can feel them, we can connect with them, some of us can see them...and they can help us... since i understood this concept and understood in what turmoil we can be in due to a certain belief i knew i had to share it... when someone dies they are not gone, they have just transformed to the next stage...and you will see them again, whether here or when you make that transformation :-)Death needs to be seen differently...it is a birthing process to another phase or level, it is sad, and an ending, but with every ending in anyone's life, comes a new beginning!

Animals

Whenever i go away and i have to bring my cats to their cat hotel KATMANDU, i really notice how empty my life and the house is without them.... have you noticed?? my cats are my everything...my friend and entertainment during the day when i'm working...they keep me balanced as they force me to get up from my desk and feed them :-) they make me smile when they want to play... they are my heaters at night at the moment... and the best part is they always there to greet me when i come home ... i have seen the healing effects animals can have on our lives...i have experienced it personally...and many people i have met say the same things... love your animal...and maybe support a charity to help others help the animals who aren't as lucky as mine or yours. Life at the moment is about give and take...and to have a broader perspective and a bigger picture!!

Mercury Retrograde

Many of my friends and clients already know what is meant by the phrase MERCURY RETROGRADE... well let me tell you, its an astrological aspect that happens 3 times a year and can be described as somewhat frustrating :-) from today 2 August to 26 August we will experience this... what Mercury Retrograde basically means is that the planet Mercury is in reverse... so how does it affect you? Well all communication is reversed during this time period, this includes physical communication, electronic communication and sometimes transport... what i have found is that my computer, phone, internet and electrical appliances all act up... needless to say it is very important not to buy anything electronic during this time period as you will be buying a dud! It is also very unwise to make any deals, or sign any contacts over this period as plain and simple, not all will be understood...if you do find you have signed a contract over this period, or bought something, it usually then only gets cleared up or sorted out during the next Mercury Retrograde... which will only be in January :-) if you work with people or are in a relationship be wary of MR as there may be some disagreements... rather just accept that we are all in reverse for a little while, and relax :-)

inner beauty

So i was thinking the other day while i was having cappuccino at a coffee shop...each and every one of us spends at least 30-60 minutes to get ready every morning... that's a lot of effort going into our looks and making sure we look good or acceptable...to some this is more important than others... so many of us look really good and beautiful on the outside... and a lot of effort goes into that...so what happens to us internally? it is so important to us how we look, and making a good impression, but we neglect our inner beauty and well being very often... if we just give ourselves the same amount of time each day on our inner well being, self love and inner beauty we would feel more at ease with ourselves! Mostly our dark side comes out due to jealousy, not feeling good enough, and self-esteem problems...this has nothing to do with other people but everything to do with self... listen to what you need and give it to yourself...focus as much on your inner well being as you do on your outer well being for well rounded happiness and success

Faith

Today i want to give you my view point on FAITH, not religion, not a following, not the church or a dogma, but pure faith in yourself, in a higher energy, in a Purpose and a Plan... I believe and i see how we get tested every day, whether it is small or big... but many of us are still living on FEAR, fear of the present, the past, the future, just by the way certain people talk, are and act shows there is no trust in themselves or a higher energy... it is time to see the miracles in everyday life, its time to turn our attitudes around into a more positive outlook, as no matter how negative or bad a situation may seem, a positive outcome is always assured...the process depends on us though... so before you run around wild with worry and fear, stop, look and listen to your heart, your intuition where that higher energy resides, and connect to the now to bring yourself into focus again.

Technology

I have to laugh as we are so reliant on our technology, and when it does not work it is amazing how we act about it... i look at myself sometimes and it takes a lot of control and stalking of my spiritual self not to let my inner child throw an absolute tantrum :-) take the Vodacom crash the other day it was uncomfortable to say the least, but the whole of South Africa did not know what to do... our phones, our e-mail and our internet...we don't only use it for business but for our entire social being :-) during and after that crash I'm sure many inner children lost  the plot... it is under this kind of technology pressure that our childish true self comes out and this is possibly the biggest test to then act from your higher self instead and see another side to it rather than anger... one job that i would never do and take my hat of to is CALL CENTER people...

New start

Today was such a great day, a fantastic idea that I have had for so many months is finally falling into place, thanks to people who believe in me and my idea! Never underestimate the power of working together and taking a chance,
Not only on life but most importantly on yourself :-)
