Clear Relationship Karma and Embrace a Higher Love

From Karma to Grace Being Love – Acting Love How do you realise the ability to be in a place of what I call ‘non-constant interpretation’, rather than being in a place of continual appraisal and judgement… of ourselves and others! Yuk (and yet we all do it, right?) If you can let go of judgement, you can access a state of peace. If you can let go of judgement, and embrace forgiveness – you can access a state of Grace. That place where you literally jump off the Wheel of Karma – and head for the stars! And this time around – you get to stay there 🙌💫 Unless of course you CHOOSE to return, because the New Earth is a place we definitely want to visit. So let’s talk peace (peace talks 😂), it’s a word that’s thrown around a lot, but what would it really feel like? Not to have more peace, but to FEEL MORE PEACE –  you know, to have it trickling through your veins…? For me, a part of having more peace in my life would mean not waking up in the morning at 3 or 4am, continually tossing and turning while I’m trying to mentally thrash things out – it never ever works. And yet, again, we all do it. I’ve been working as a Psychologist for long enough to know that it’s a pretty common thing when the hurts and worries start to add up. And then we reach a point where we’re just over it… we are (literally) exhausted by it! and we’re ready to let go. So I think that part of the answer to the question above, is to be ready for a little peace in your life. To be ready for a calm mind and a gentle heart. And to be ready to practice ‘gentle acceptance’. There’s a lot written today about adopting a ‘radical’ approach. You know, radical compassion, radical acceptance, radical kindness… etc. etc. And I get it, opening your arms wide to the experience, to the challenge, can be a very good mindset to adopt. I definitely understand the concept of radical acceptance when I’m in the middle of a challenging yoga pose! 🙂 However, when I’m a little weary of coming up against the same problem, the same difficult situation, and dare I say, the same difficult person, I’ve found that a gentle acceptance works better. It is situation specific… and I call it reaching. Do we reach for radical acceptance, gentle acceptance, or even radical or gentle change?? I’m a firm believer in change – change something if your current circumstance is not giving you a good life, an opportunity for meaningful engagement, for joy, and an opportunity to express your values. This could mean walking away (radical change), or it could mean changing the way you communicate to yourself about the situation (gentle change), as well as the way you communicate to the other person. Sometimes we need to stay, or we want to stay, and yet… all the while there is this thing that keeps poking at us. What I’ve come to understand better of late, is that pokey thing is Karma. Our relationship Karma. And the antidote to that is to head for Grace. And the path is forgiveness. Woah!! I get it. That’s a big one for a lot of people. I’m not getting into the debate here though. What I am getting into are Energy Threads. One thread has destinations by the name of (Active) Acceptance, Loving Kindness, Compassion, Peace, Forgiveness, Grace, LOVE, DIVINE LOVE and Release from Karma. The other thread holds destinations such as Sorrow, Anger, Shame, Guilt, Judgment, Anxiety, Depression, Exhaustion, Rage and ‘OK, here we go again’. Ouch! So take a breath, and ask yourself – Do I want peace? Do I want love in my heart? – and am I ready to be kind to myself and to others? Am I ready to gently put my ego to the side and open up to my own heart wisdom…. and then, am I to live by that Heart Wisdom!? Am I ready to be free from the energy threads of doubt, fear, anger, and bitterness – by releasing and transforming them? This is mental alchemy, and it transforms both the heart and the mind, as well as the physical body through the change in chemistry you are now orchestrating. Being Love – Acting Love Beyond cognitive mind, beyond emotionally driven heart response (the conscious heart) – beyond this loop, lies Universal Heart and Universal Mind. So, if you can first touch your Soul mind, and allow its light to illuminate your waking, conscious brain… you have the different energy threads starting to zing and ping through your body – and this helps you to see and feel differently – to suspend ‘constant interpretation’. You can Detach – even if it’s only for a moment. Life can then be ‘lived’ and ‘loved’ in that moment… OK, so how do you do this? How do you allow the Light, and allow the Grace and Wisdom of your Soul to influence your thinking, and your day to day interactions (even the ones you have with yourself). Recognise and remember that the eyes of the Divine – the Creator experiencing – is resting within. So simply close your eyes and breathe. Breathe slowly and gently. Focus on the heart chakra and light the energy here with a word and a vision of Love. Spend some time and really feel into it. Let the imaginative forces take you by the hand and lead you to wherever the contemplation of Love takes you. Inviting the creative force into the dance… You have the right to choose in the moment, so why not choose peace, through gentle acceptance, and being kind to yourself. If you tune in, you will notice something different happening in your body. This is not passive detachment in the moment – this is an active choice,...

Energetic Heart Cramp (or Heart Crush Syndrome) is where Panic Disorder and Anxiety begin to impact the Soul body, particularly in the area of the heart center – and the result is literally crushing (hence the name)! We need to Up our protection, our awareness and our energies, or risk being sucked into the vortex… I’ve been working with Anxiety for years now. I’ve also had the ‘lived experience’ of Anxiety. This condition had its way with me for many many years, even though I thought I was a fairly aware and educated person. Turns out… I completely missed the signs. You see, I was pretty lucky, I did well at my studies, and work wise… well, I was always lucky in that respect, at least as far as getting the job goes! But when it starts to get up around 40 jobs or so, well… you really have to start wondering about yourself! To the point that I was almost ready to give up on life. Awareness helped, but was it the answer? It was at around this time in my life that I went to study Psychology. I had wanted to study psychology since my early 20’s, but this was a goal my mind couldn’t accept. My anxious mind that it. So far, I had already studied Nursing, Medical Herbalism and Iridology… but I still felt like something was missing. And interestingly enough, it was in this emotionally and mentally depleted state, that all of my ‘egoic reasons’ for not studying, melted away. And I have to say, that studying Psychology in a lot of ways, was the making of me. For one, I did well – so it gave a real boost to my sense of self, and my self esteem. Secondly, it was also when I had the opportunity to start putting the pieces of the anxiety puzzle together… I had so many ‘aha’ moments it was ridiculous! One of which is that sometimes you have to go do the thing that you fear the most, so you have something to say back to that nagging picky little ‘you’re not good enough’ voice. Fast forward another 15 years or so… And I have now had the opportunity to marry together my own lived experience, my studies in health and mental health, and the thousands of people I have had the opportunity to share space with through my work. I have been listening and observing closely – while they ‘shared story’ with me… and I have to say, anxiety has absolutely exploded in our communities! The world has changed, has it not? On every single level you can imagine, and even on the ones you can’t. As a consequence of my experiences and observations however, I have come to see the experience of anxiety as very different to how it is currently ‘promoted’ or viewed. Whether that be in mental health circles, pseudo-psych offerings, or social media. I understand that at times it is trauma driven… and by heavens there’s a lot of trauma in our societies at the moment (my heart hurts even thinking about it!). It can also be due to generational trauma, inherited pre-dispositions, and it can even be the consequence of drug use. So many contributing factors. However there is also another story going on… and this is where I start to get a little esoteric – so it might be time to tune out if this really isn’t your thing! You see, it’s been my observation (and I’m talking several thousand people here)… that those who are susceptible to anxiety are the more creative, gentle, intuitive, empathetic, and sensitive ones amongst us. And I’m going to go out on a limb here… and say that these souls are also likely to rate quite high on Emotional Intelligence as well as Intellect on some of the more popular personality tests out there. In addition to Sensitivity, Openness, Creativity and Imagination. This is a personality type prone to anxiety, and so I have come to see Anxiety as the Spiritual Quest of our age… Awareness = Opportunity (to do things different) Why would I think that? Well, I now know that the way through (for many of us) is by working with spiritual values and practices, from a physical, cognitive and more importantly – energetic perspective. Because left unchecked, we are at risk of developing what I would call Energetic Heart Cramp and/or… the Energetic Heart Crush Syndrome. This is where Panic Disorder and Anxiety begin to impact the Soul body, particularly in the area of the heart center – and the result is literally crushing. More and more people are becoming susceptible to this. The energy on the planet at the moment is chaotic, and we really need to step up the whole idea of self-care (caring for self) and get our daily practices in order. This needs to taken seriously, and it needs to be approached through physical practices, cognitive or mental practices, and spiritual or energetic practices. We need to up our protection, our awareness and our energies… or be sucked into the vortex, because that is what it feels like. You may also be particularly susceptible to this experience if you work with people on a daily basis… and have your energies mingling and tingling with others (sometimes this is a good thing, sometimes not so much). There are a number of things we can do to protect ourselves however, and a good start is to work on strengthening our vessel (mental, physical and spiritual bodies)… and then fill it up with good stuff! Having the right energies around us will also help to keep us in good shape. From an energetic perspective, make sure you are surrounding yourself with the right colours, sounds and scents. Create a harmonious environment by being more aware of resonant vibrations – this is more individual than most of us realise. Exercising, eating the right foods, and being consciously aware of our thoughts is...
