Happy Holidays and an Amazing Blessed 2014

Instead of New Years’ Resolutions, I recommend Soul Resolutions this Year!

How many times have you committed to new year’s resolutions only to find that the new year has barely begun and by January 5^th, the 10^th or maybe, if you’re lucky by February 1^st, you have broken all of your promises to yourself. Looking ahead at every new year like a blank canvas, where all things are still possible and where you safely project all your hopes of a better future with more success, better discipline and all annoying issues resolved has become your yearly beacon of hope. 

Having failed, yet again, you sink back into your behavioral slump, maybe interrupted by a quick stunt in mid-June (just in time to get in shape for bikini season), just to wait again for the New Year to roll around with the offer of its immaculately clean canvas.

 If this strategy is not working for you, and really, as an old soul there is no shame in admitting that (you have been at it for a few thousand years), I recommend you change your approach.

A few years ago, I was caught in the vicious cycle of New Year’s resolutions myself.

Not too impressed by my progress, to say the least, I boycotted New Year’s resolutions all together, since they really always ended up making me feel horrible about myself. In the beginning, I just skipped them without replacement.

It was a relief, since I got to skip the whole self-loathing portion of the cycle.

After a while, I noticed the desire for self-improvement in certain areas nudge me first quietly than more noisily until I paid attention.

So I sat myself down to strategize a plan that would work in the long run.

One thing I knew for certain was that I did not intend to drag certain soul/karmic patterns with me for the next ten lifetimes.

There was the heavy burden of chronic soul guilt and the trauma from 1372 and the unresolved heartache with my twin flame and my rejection of earthly matters to name a few.

So I came up with some soul resolutions. I was going to take whatever steps necessary for the rest of this life to resolve as many karmic issues as possible and to put down the burdens and heal the trauma.

Good news, I can do the work throughout the year, as I become aware of it and if I miss a few weeks of intense application it doesn’t matter since I am working towards a larger goal.

Another benefit I found is that the soul resolutions don’t change from year to year like my ego/personality New Year's Resolutions did.

When I fall of the wagon, it is easy to get back on reminding myself that I am really already tired of these circumstances and that I do not wish to drag them with me into any future lifetimes!

If nothing else, I recommend trying a new approach. What do you have to lose?

Develop your Intuition… Continued!

I promised to continue the “Intuition Series”. I am currently working on that one.

In the meantime, here is one important step to add. Stay tuned for more to come.

It is important to have reliable resources to help us decode symbols that show up in our dreams, meditations and visions.

The Universe will communicate with you in a language that you can learn to understand. Don’t discard a vision just because you aren’t quite sure of its significance yet. Remember the saying, one picture is worth a thousand words. Be curious and play detective. The more you practice the more fluid you will become, until it becomes second nature to know what your intuition is telling you.

When it comes to symbols, we need to distinguish between personal symbolism and universal symbolism.

A personal symbol will only make sense to you.

For example, if you see a white cat in a dream or vision and you don’t recognize the cat, you would research the meaning of the color white and the meaning of cat.

If the cat turns out to be Fluffy and is your favorite companion in the world, the meaning changes dramatically. You have to ask yourself in the context of your vision, who is Fluffy? What are Fluffy’s characteristics? Is the information about Fluffy or is Fluffy being used as a symbol?

The same is true, if you’re shown objects, locations, situations that have a unique meaning to you.

Play with the pieces of the puzzle until they fit and you pick-up a resonance of truth and coherent meaning out of it.

Be willing to be patient and have fun with it.

One good website I recommend for decoding symbols is:

www.whats-your-sign.com

I suggest adding a few books that feel right to you, so you can compare.

More to follow on this topic soon.

Funny Story!

Hi Everyone!

Happy belated Thanksgiving and I apologize for yet another delay in writing more new posts.

I have been suffering from writer's block and I have been stuck in "THE VOID"

(not my favorite place to be...).

Finally, I am in the flow again and I hope to have some original posts ready by next week.

In the meantime, I want to share this email with you, written by a very talented client who is a stand-up comedian named Adam Miller.

Adam always finds creative ways to motivate me to keep writing when there have been no new postings in a while...

So here it goes, it was titled "Kind of funny Story"-email:

(And thanks Adam, it worked :-)!)

                                                    

As we all know, I have had and do have plenty of weaknesses I have needed to work on, but, I also of course have strengths.  One of the things I have always been good at is adding insight and perspective, either one on one or in group conversations.  Even when I was a kid I just knew what the answer was even though I didn't always know how or how I understood it...

Anyway, I was at Cs workshop this past weekend and the group was talking about sympathy vs. empathy and whether or not there are truly victims in our reality.  After they went around a little bit, missing the bullseye, and contaminating the room with confusion:), C asked me if I had anything to add.  So I did.  And then, of course, as always, (bats eyelashes) there was a line of people waiting to talk to me after :)...

This is the jist of what happened as best as I can remember it:

First guy approaches with slight trepidation.

First guy: you know, I just wanted to say in regard to your comments…(takes a knee)

Me: (graciously) that’s ok sir, you don’t have to kneel…

First guy: (rising, quivering just a little) I really appreciated what you had to say...I really liked your observations...It touched me and made me think…(eyes tearing up) you’re an unprecedented genius and I wish I was you(or something like that)…

Me:  (buffing my nails)  yes, yes, of course, I know, no problem, glad I could help clarify for the group...(blows on nails)… 

First guy tries to offer me his baby

Me: (graciously) sir please, that’s ok, I don’t want your first born child, keep it…(burps)  I ate earlier anyway…anyway, as I was saying,  yes, wisdom beyond my years, that’s the way humans normally put it, yes, ha ha, so true, funny story actually, the sages used to whisper that through the walls of my mom’s belly to get me to stop kicking… (brushes back hair with hand and pulls eyelash off and blows it)

First guy leaves glowing.  C approaches.

C: You know, I am really glad you spoke up.  You really have a gift for communication.  You really have a lot of insight…(eyes tearing up) I think you're the most brilliant and wonderful man who ever lived(or something like that)...you're like so super cool it's ridiculous. I only apologize we didn’t adorn the couch with rose petals before you sat down…please understand, I was busy preparing for…

Me: (graciously extending hand)  it’s ok, I’m practicing humility now( she kisses hand)…it’s good for me to go without them. 

Slight pause.

C:  (trying to comprehend such colossal spirituality) It must be hard not being able to tell all these people…

Me:  Tell them what?  The reason Father made them?

Catalina:  No, that you’re the actual real life, one and only, in the flesh messiah.

Me:  (buffing nails and looking in my pocket mirror)  Oh, ha, that!  Well you know, you learn to live with it.  Anyway, thank you so much, glad I could say something to help...anytime. 

C:  (nervous but summoning the courage) Do you think perhaps you might want to start teaching my class with me? 

Me:  Um...maybe. (starts returning a text message)  I guess I’d be open to it…let’s do lunch. But I can’t Tuesday through Sunday…those are my rest days. 

I cross the room, elegantly plucking my eyebrows.  Girl approaches.    

Girl:  I really liked what you had to say.  It sounds like you have really read a lot of Nicole's articles.

Silence. 

Me: (fumbling mirror, dropping it and kicking it across the floor…putting nails in mouth)  huh?...oh…you know Nicole?…well...um....I mean...you know...I mean....yeah...I mean...some...I mean...I read a lot of stuff...I mean, mostly I channel everything...I mean, mostly I already know everything...I mean...um…

Girl:  yeah, I could really tell.

Me: Mmm-hmm.   Yeah...mmm-hmm…that’s great…well...I…shit!...fine…you got me!  But just the stuff about all you whiny babies stopping seeing yourselves as victims!!!  But I had to get that from her you understand?   I don’t have any personal experience with that!  :)

The girl was O.  She was really cool.  We had a lot of fun.   I may have exaggerated the story just a tad.
