Perhaps you might be seeing a bigger mess then is really there. Maybe there is no mess at all, yet your perception clouds the truth. Some people literally like the mess and choose to wallow in it. There are hidden lessons in the mess. Things are not as they appear to be.

You can release hate, anger, betrayal, shame, guilt or any other useless emotion that your mind wrote a nice story about to support those feelings. Your triggers encourage you to face your fears. You may not understand the lesson for months or years afterwards, if ever, and that’s ok.

Blessed is the one who can bless the mess and move through it with grace and ease.

Change your idea, perception or point of view on what is before you. Ponder how you may have participated in contributing to the mess. Fear expands the mess by feeding it. Love is an expression free of judgment and fear, and promotes the best possible outcome.

Mess is the resolver of stagnation. Shocking the system influences change and movement, which stimulates growth. You don’t have to like the chaos, but you can still love it by understanding its purpose. Hate the mayhem and it will follow you everywhere like a shadow. Love the disarray by becoming the observer of the mess rather than identifying with it. Do your best to navigate through it, move on and don’t look back.

Imagine stepping stones going across a stream of water, where the water is the turmoil and the stones symbolize progress and advancement. Don’t worry about where the stones take you, just trust and keep moving. If you fall in the water, another stone will appear downstream. Just hoist yourself up and keep going. If you get fearful and go back the way you came, you will be repeating the same lessons again. The lessons will look differently each time in order to fool you.

Jumping forward from stone to stone gets easier as you learn to navigate the tumultuous water. In time, the stones become larger, flatter and closer together. There will be longer periods of calmer waters. There will always be a certain amount of turmoil in life but accepting it is paramount to survival.

May we all joyously skip effortlessly over the rocks, helping those having difficulty behind us, on our way, perhaps, to an island somewhere, which is truthfully in our minds and has been there all along.

Scenario: Your boss introduces you to a new client. You say and do all the right things. You do everything right outwardly but you are thinking something else. You are silently making judgments about their appearance, the way they express themselves, their ideas, etc. They walk away not liking you and they don’t know why. This will affect your working relationship and the outcome of your business together, if they choose to stay.

Scenario: You are cheating on your wife and you think you are very good at hiding it. However, she feels the energy of it on some level. Your wife knows something is not right, though, she might choose to lie to herself because of her fears. If you choose to stay with her, the energy of your deceit will affect the quality of your relationship.

Scenario: You are making every effort to be a good parent. Outwardly you are doing and saying all the right things. Inwardly, you are disapproving of their choices and behavior.  You don’t like their boyfriend or spouse.  They can feel your judgment. What you do and say is overridden by an inner knowing on their part. They don’t trust or believe you anymore. Distance is created.

Sensitivity to energy has always existed, but we have become more attuned to it as our frequencies rise. If you don’t have integrity, people will know, it will be felt. Businesses that operate with integrity will be the ones that survive this new age. The same goes with personal relationships. You don’t have to know what is wrong to know that something is wrong. People act all the time on things they don’t quite understand. In fact, some of the most successful people are those who have learned to trust their instincts.

You will be able to fool some people some of the time, but not all people all of the time. It is a game of Russian roulette. If you choose to keep playing games, you will eventually lose. How, remains to be seen.

What Can You Do ?

Stop the judgment. When you are judging others, you are actually judging yourself. If you do your inner work, you will find that the judgment miraculously stops.

Do your inner work. This involves paying attention to what triggers you mentally and emotionally. You take responsibility for your triggers by choosing how you react. Once you transmute the emotional charges, you are free of the trigger and are no longer affected.

Be ok with what is. This is where true peace comes from. No matter what happens, accept it. Deal with it and move on. In addition, setting up appropriate boundaries around yourself and your business, making changes and setting rules may be required.

Trust your gut. Some of the greatest influencers are those who have mastered the balance between head and heart. Recognizing your intuition and acting on it may save you a lot of grief. If something feels wrong, you will usually feel it in your gut. If it feels right, you may feel an expansion in your heart or may feel goose bumps.

See the God in all who are in your realm of experience. We are all cut from the same cloth. You don’t have to like everyone. You just have to respect their right to be here just like you.

Be honest with yourself and others. The energy you put out is what you will attract to you. When you live with integrity, you will attract it and you will cull those lacking in it out of your life. You will see things clearer.

Lies, manipulation and deceit are practices that will serve to hurt you and your business. Technology and social media make it difficult to hide injustices. What is around you is a reflection of you. Be what you want in the world. Receive what you are willing to give.

A few years later after life had thrown a few curve balls, things changed.  My son was older, my marriage dissolved, and I started having dreams and intuitive guidance to get myself “out there” on a more professional basis. I wanted to find a way for people to connect with me and find me, if they were ready. I struggled with what to call my business, since I didn’t want to call it by my name. The primary reason I decided not to use my name was because I serve as conduit for high frequencies of healing. The actual healing is allowed by the recipient.

One day in Autumn, while on a long walk, I looked at the sunset and clearly saw a beautiful phoenix shape in the clouds that seemed to take up the whole sky. The clouds had formed a very distinct phoenix image with its wings outstretched. I knew exactly what it was, and at that moment I felt very moved thinking that this was a symbolic omen of my journey, and that perhaps I had reached a pivotal point in my growth.

For months I continued to labor over what name to use for my business. One day while speaking on the telephone with a close friend of mine, I shared that I had yet to find a name for my business.  She blurted out, “Phoenix.” This naturally got my attention because of my previous experience while taking my daily walk.  It was at that moment it became clear to me that “Phoenix” was the  name for my business.

I still had one more significant experience. While driving along a four lane busy road with a grassy median in between, I noticed a large bird running across the grass. I couldn’t believe I was seeing a peacock running straight for my car. It ran towards my left front tire. I braked and barely missed it. Somehow, the bird made it across the road unscathed. A man was in hot pursuit trying to save it, apparently.

As soon as I got home, I dove into my “Animal Speaks” book to look up the significance of this encounter. There was so much information there for me, but what I want to share with you today is this: “Of all birds, the peacock most resembles the traditional descriptions of the phoenix.” There it was again. If I had any doubts before then, they were now gone.

The energy that works through me is representative of the phoenix symbolically, in frequency, and vibration. From Animal Speaks: “The phoenix is the legendary bird of resurrection that is sacrificed in the fires of life and then rises from the flames out of its own ashes.” It symbolizes a process of renewal and rebirth, leaving the suffering in ashes.

Self love matters, because it is the key to a happy life.

So where to begin? You first start by realizing to what degree you love yourself and how it is affecting your life. Listen to your self- talk for a while. We can be our own worst enemy. Most people are more critical of themselves then other people are of them. Pay attention to how critical you are of others. The more at peace you are with yourself, the more at peace you are with what is around you. You will find less to be critical of when you are more accepting of yourself.

Understand that you were not born this way. You were told things that lowered your self-worth and you chose to believe it. You were taught since you were a child that to deserve love meant that you had to behave a certain way. This is programming. You learned that when you repeatedly did things a certain way, you were accepted or pushed away. This forms patterning. You made mistakes or poor choices and experienced the feelings of shame, guilt, disgust, etc. You convinced yourself you were not worthy of love. You now believe what you were told and what you told yourself and that is the energy you carry with you wherever you go.

There is not one person on this planet that has not been affected to some degree by these things. Now, what to do about it?

The past is the past. Leave it there. If you treated others or yourself badly, own it, make amends and move on. That does not mean that you have to go over board spending a lifetime making things up to others. It means that today is a new day and you are going to start over. You are going to do the best you can with what you know and are capable of. It is a process. It will take time, patience and perseverance. Where close family is concerned, understand that you have history with them. You have to hold your own without taking their stuff personally. They will still see the old you for a while. They will not fully understand your struggles. Give it time. There will be good days and not so good days. Just dust yourself off and keep moving forward. Keep your eye on where you want to be.

You might need to surround yourself with new people in your life. As you grow and evolve, so will the people that you resonate with. There will be those that you leave behind and it is appropriate.

If you have abused your body in the past, tell it you are sorry and start treating it the way it deserves. Your body is pure energy. It is a living biological consciousness. Every cell has awareness in a way that most people don’t realize. If one part hurts, the whole body hurts. If you think ill of it, it hears that. It will live up to what you choose to think of it. Show your body you love it. Feed it well, exercise, think kindly of it and be grateful to it for putting up with you!

You can look at yourself in the mirror and say “I love you” a million times and it won’t make much of a difference if you don’t believe it. It is still a better choice then saying “I hate you”. Just reading those words doesn’t feel good. Imagine what happens when you say that to yourself and when you believe it. Try the “I love you” until it sticks.

Wisdom is the gift on the other side of the lessons learned

—Irene Keating

Step out of yourself for a moment and think of a child that you love. Imagine them coming to you telling you of something they did or said, that to them, was unforgivable. What would you tell them? You need to do the same for yourself.

If you can’t love yourself, you don’t have love to give. If you don’t have love to give, you are incapable of receiving love. This means that your relationships will not be as good as they could be. This means that you will see the world through the filters of your pain and suffering. Everything is tainted. The part of you that sees yourself as unlovable, affects your whole life. It affects how you see and perceive everything. It affects your thinking, your emotions and your reactions. It affects your physical body.

Choose now to stop this cycle of abuse. Yes, abuse…..of your self. Decide now that you are worthy of love and you are going to take steps to own that fully. Treat yourself well. Don’t wait for someone to do it for you. Forgive yourself of everything, always. Learn the lessons from the past. That is the most important thing. This is where wisdom comes from.
