Liberating Your Gifts

5/24/2019

Many of us have gifts that we developed in times of necessity. Perhaps even our very survival was at stake. Many of us became empathetic so we could feel what was going on emotionally for others so we could make sure to stay away when they became explosive or aggressive. Others of us developing healing capacities because we hoped that if we could heal the people around us they would treat us better. Some of us became telepathic so we could read the thoughts of someone who refused to speak truthfully and honestly. Some of us learned to make ourselves invisible and go unnoticed in group situations so that we wouldn't be a target for those who felt threatened by people who were more talented and capable than they were. Some of us learned how to take the brunt of abuse and put ourselves in front of the perpetrators, to hopefully prevent others from becoming victims. It goes on and on. They key thing to tune into is: under what life circumstances did you develop your greatest gifts, and currently, do you love and appreciate them?

For many of us, we don't 100% love our gifts, primarily because we didn't develop them in a space of love and joy for the Self, as a celebration of life, beauty, the profound nature of consciousness and the majesty of the universe. However, that doesn't mean we can't change that. What if right now, we can initiate the liberation of our gifts? What if right now we can invite them to be free of fear and separation, domination, manipulation and control and blame, shame and guilt? What if right now, we can imbue our gifts with the frequency love and know them in a new way? What if we can have a new relationship with our gifts? In this moment of now, we can offer our gifts to LOVE itself, to be re-claimed by Being, and available to us to share them happily, freely and joyfully. Our talents and abilities can be purified by the light of the One, by the presence of the Universe, and by Source Consciousness itself, so that we can easily love and embrace them and include them in our expression of Self here and now. I wonder what can unfold as this possibility becomes available for each of us who have had a negative, or mixed relationship with what we're capable of. Next week, on May 29th I'll be exploring this subject matter during my online class. Visit my resources page to learn more.

Beyond Use & Need

5/7/2019

One of the carryovers from fear based learning and love based in punishment and reward is that we learned to make assessments. We bought into the idea that love had something to do with being worthy, deserving or good enough. That was the most commonly given explanation for why you were lacking, in need or cut off from resources, you were not "that" and thus you had to adopt strategies to attempt to be that. The teachers of fear based learning are shame, blame and guilt. How you know that you're doing things right and are good is if they don't have to do anything. If you are doing things wrong or are bad they will let you know. And, you are the culprit for why you are not good enough, worthy or deserving, so you are the one who has to do something about it. Someone else may induced those views by their poor treatment, but somehow that was your fault too. Fortunately we're coming into a time where this insanity can end, when shame, blame and guilt are no longer our teachers. As they are no longer the authority figures in our lives, we can be free of having to filter our experiences through their lenses. We can know love now and initiate our very being and life into this field or classroom of love based learning.

As we acclimate to this new field of love, we can progressively initiate and have our relationships in this space. Our relationships can be free of fear based learning too, and we can truly learn the ways of love with one another, moment by moment, in this living, dynamic atmosphere of being. A few years ago I wrote a blog called Transforming Patterns in Relationships, which I invite you to read to enrich this current exploration. What I wanted to bring forward today, to illuminate and invite love to facilitate the transformation of, is the dynamic of use and need based relationships. I introduced this dynamic in Establishing Love Based Relationships. Today I sense that the next level of healing is available. As a review, one thing we adopted as a way to assess the value of a relationship was to determine whether we had a use for someone (how they could benefit us) and whether we had a need for them (how they improved our lives in some way). In this field of love it's easy to see that these assessments were done in the field of separation, in the field of objects, where we were all separate objects that could hopefully find a good reason to interact and extract something of value from each other.

As we re-unite with our hearts and bring our heart, body and mind into the field of love, we can be free of these mental assessments done in the field of fear and separation. We have something else to guide our interactions, inspire our relationships, and support our coming together and our parting ways, or the natural beginnings and endings that are a part of the unfolding of life. So, I invite each of us to take a look at where use and need dictated whether we maintained or discarded relationships, whether we were deriving sufficient value from them to justify the effort of maintaining them, or whether they weren't worth our effort or time or attention and thus were deemed to be deserving of being ended or terminated. And I invite you to notice this use of language and the feelings that it stirs up in you. As love is known we can acknowledge the deep pain of being treated as an object that would be discarded by another if we didn't offer sufficient value, or if someone couldn't find a use for us, or if someone didn't need or want us. We would be left behind, dismissed, disregarded, abandoned and rejected. And of course to the degree that we allowed use and need to be our masters, dictators or trusted advisers, we did the same to others.

I invite us all to take a deep breath, invite the frequency of love to permeate through our hearts, bodies and minds and re-set the field of relationships, as the awareness of where we once were bound is offered so that we may be free. We can invite this field of love and the spaciousness of being to soften the edges, heal the wounds, and transmute the deep pain of previous assessments we used to determine our worth, value, and sense of deserving or being good enough in the context of relationships. As love dawns, we can see clearly that those are all manufactured assessments allowing manipulation, domination and control to have its way in the field of separation and fear with shame, blame and guilt as the rulers. We are here, here we are, initiating the ways of love, knowing ourselves anew in this different space. May we see from love, where use and need dictated our choices and receive the healing of the pain of that, so that what is available now can be known and integrated, blessing our relationships with beauty, freshness, reverence and peace.

Pleasure Beyond Polarity

5/3/2019

For many, they've only known pleasure as it exists on the pleasure pain continuum, in the fear based reality, where pleasure is associated with reward and pain with punishment. In the fear based reality there is benefit to withhold pleasure, or keep it at bay, in order to have something to move towards or hope for or dream of, once the work is done, once you've made it to your destination and only when you're successful. Then you're deemed worthy of it, you deserve it and you're good enough to have some pleasure. Not too much though, or else you may lose your motivation to keep going and continue to strive for more, better and greater. The yearning for pleasure and the desire to avoid pain are usually the strongest motivators to maintain action and stay focused on what needs to be done to sustain life and survive.

In recent months I've been discussing graduating from fear based learning and being initiated into love based learning, or love based creation, where love just is. It's not a reward, nor can it be withheld. Action arises from the frequency of love, rather than in the hopes of getting it. The whole system of motivation changes, once your acclimated to this new space. For more on that you can read the blog Love Based Motivation. Attention is also freed up, as I discussed in the last blog on Love Based Attention. Eventually, every aspect of our being, every element of life and living is returned to this love and a new beginning is initiated. So, this blog represents the initiation of freeing pleasure and pain from punishment and reward and all meanings, understandings, reasons and justifications for the presence or the absence of pain and pleasure that was born of fear.

Now we can know pleasure and pain in the context of love, from the space of the love based classroom, or love based creation. And the one to play with here, that will be explored in my online class next week in more depth is pleasure beyond polarity. What becomes possible and available when pleasure is freed from fear based confinement? What I know is that energies of pleasure are wild! That which ignites the heart, invigorates the nervous system, calms the body and relaxes the mind can arise spontaneously, for no reason and have it's way! If anything this pleasure likes to defy all rules, bounds, reasons and justifications for being. It just appears, and is just available, with this innocent, wild smile. It offers spaciousness, support with breath, and waves of softening of any tension or holding patterns. It knows no bounds and just gifts, for no reason, helping to free us from all mental understanding generated from the torment of conditional acceptance. It helps to free us from the burden of trying to understand why we were loved sometimes and not other times, why how we were wasn't okay, why we always had to modify ourselves or control ourselves or adopt postures that implied we knew what was going on or had it all together.

We are here, here we are. Beginning to know ourselves in this atmosphere of love, free of the confines of punishment and reward. Knowing what being truly nurtured is. Knowing what kindness, caring, gentleness and presence of being is. Free of concept. Free of confusion. Here we are. We are here. May we come to know pleasure beyond polarity when and as we do and celebrate its arrival with total embrace and deep appreciation, as a natural response to it's profound, luscious beauty and wonder! If you would like to join in for the online class on Wednesday May 8th you can go to the resources page to get the information.

Love Based Attention

4/30/2019

Imagine what it would be like to have love at the base of your attention? Essentially, what would be steering, guiding, directing and moving your attention is love itself, you as a being of love. This shift may be readily available for us, or it may seem to be a ways away. Either way, I invite this moment to be one of pondering the possibility of having love at the base of your attention. Breathe into that.

Now let's talk a moment to acknowledge where we've been, and what we're graduating from. As I've been exploring for a few months now, many of us are graduating from fear based learning. We acknowledge that we're not designed to be motivated by the promise of rewards or the threat of punishments, and the exhaustion and anger at not being able to figure it out or do it right, whatever it is, has taken hold, as an indicator that we've outgrown that approach to learning.

One of the things that comes with the territory is that fear is at the base of our attention, and manipulation and control are the strategies used to determine where our attention goes and how long it stays there. Often for many of us our attention gets fixed in certain positions or directions or in certain moments in time. As your reading this now I invite you to get curious about what it would be like to free up your attention from anywhere it has been fixed, controlled, dominated or manipulated. In the land of punishment and reward, attention was often made to be quite the commodity. We were told to "pay" attention and there was always a threat of something negative, painful or undesired being issued if we didn't. The better we were able to control or fix our attention in the way we learned was best, the more safe we were. If we put too much attention on the wrong things we would get in trouble. If we put enough attention on the right things we got a pat on the back or approval or positive attention from others. Often, someone's else's giving or withdrawal of attention was a reward or punishment in and of itself!

So, here we are, at the brink of change. Where life is supporting and inviting many of us to acknowledge that love is available for us, as a frequency, as a field, as a space that we can more and more acclimate to, live in and know ourselves as. In regards to attention, we can be assisted to surrender the ties that bind, in other words, the people, places or things that our attention has been fixed on out of fear. We can be mentally and emotionally liberated from having to sustain our focus on whatever we were told we had to pay attention to, or else. We can begin to let love steer our attention, sweetly, kindly, gently, beautifully. Our attention can become available to flow, and dance, and include that which is here for us to be with. I wonder how much this can change the way our energy moves in the world, and what we notice, and what we perceive and receive as contributions to the joy of being. Here we are. We are here and now we welcome and initiate love based attention so that we may truly find our flow. Tomorrow evening, May 1st, from 6-7:30pm MDT I'm having my online class exploring the topic of Finding Your Flow. You can go to the resources page to find out more.

Beyond Fear Based Creation

4/23/2019

In recent months, through blogs and classes, I've been exploring Love Based Learning and how it differs from Fear Based Learning. In the online class tomorrow the subject is Love Based Creation and what's available now to assist us to graduate from Fear Based Creation, which involves the use of the mind and emotions to manipulate or control life events to produce better or more personally favorable outcomes. It often involves things like implanting thoughts, or new beliefs, and then feeling into that, with the hope that the better feeling state will result in life circumstances that match that state. Essentially it's the land of self-modification and tinkering, as though we're machines or computers or systems that can be adjusted according to formulas and equations such as different input = different output, installing the right way to think, calling up the right feelings, so that life will go your way and you'll get what you want more of the time. When it takes on a more spiritual framework, the universe becomes this thing that you can get to work for you to bring you what you want, if you ask, and if you're open to receive. So we then jump into the land of deciding what to ask and how to ask it correctly, and whether it's better to be general or specific, and then how to get into receiving mode, or make yourself be more open or available for the universe to be able to find you and give you what you want.

At some point we get tired of fear based creation, where separation prevails, and we have to stay on top of maintaining our identity as the "subject" trying to get life to co-operate or attempting to change how we are by bettering our-self, healing, modifying our-self and becoming this perfected thing that hopefully can adopt the right stance or perspective to have things work out. It's also full of so-that's. So even the adjustments that we attempt to make that are seemingly loving, still have agenda's based in manipulation and control. Doing one thing so that what we need or want will hopefully happen for us.

As we acknowledge what has been, take a moment to breathe and be present with the exhaustion, the confusion and the let-down at trying so many things and still not having life work with us, or desired circumstances unfolding. In this willingness for a new way to present, let's see what can now be known about Love Based Creation and what elements within the atmosphere of love can be named or perceived. What can we now know? May life show each of us, in our own unique way, to invite us in to this field of love where we can initiate creation in a new way. If you would like mentor-ship or coaching, I do offer one on one sessions. You can visit my session page to learn more. May we all be loved, nurtured, resourced and supported to thrive.

Love Based Creation

4/18/2019

A few months ago I posted the blog: Is it time to graduate from fear based learning? Which you can take a look at to provide more context for what I'll be exploring here. Essentially, alongside fear based learning are tools and strategies that we've been given to "create our lives" or have more of what we desire in life and be free from undesired life circumstances. As is typical of fear based environments, those tools and strategies are based in manipulation and control. Even something as seemingly benign as someone saying to "love yourself", it's still has the air of control to it because the reason to love yourself is so that you can have more of what you want and less of what you don't want.

Everything in the fear based environment is essentially a mental or emotionally based strategy that you employ so that you can have the rewards (what you want) and avoid the punishments (what you don't want). What comes alongside this is often statements with little or no true guidance, mentoring or offering of a process to support the building of what someone says you need. So someone may say "you just need to be positive," with no acknowledgment or genuine assessment of where you are and what your history is in terms of the trajectory of your mental and emotional development and the capacities you've developed to manage the environments you've lived in. Or someone will say "just be in the now" or "just be grateful" or "you need to be more present", with no acknowledgment of what it actually takes to develop that, and how much you have to examine and address the foundation of your very existence to be able to do that, which is no small matter!

So, where do we go from here? What is beyond fear based creation? I invite you to read the words Love Based Creation and see what comes to mind. What do you notice, what do you feel? We can't expect ourselves to know how to do this, or even be able to accurately perceive what it is. That is another carryover from fear based learning, that if you just expect yourself to be able to do something and put enough pressure on yourself rise to meet it. For many of us, that rarely worked. Or we achieved the result, but were tense, stressed, emotionally shut down and mentally fixated in the process. So, again we just breathe, show up as we are and tune into the words Love Based Creation.

From this new platform, or base, we can acknowledge what we have in our lives now and explore what we'd like to add or include. We can progressively unravel the "so that" formulas and associations, and gain the capacity to notice what authentically arises in us as preferences, desires or curiosities. And we can initiate true explorations for the sake of the exploration itself. So if it does arise that "I would like to love myself more" it's no longer attached to the so that (insert rewards here), it's just because you know that loving, caring for, attending to yourself more deeply is possible and so you initiate that. If the desire arises "I would like to have more money" then you can go about exploring what you can add to your life to have more money. If it's "I would like to know what I love to do and do it" you can initiate an exploration of finding out what you love to do and acting from the awareness that comes about. Essentially, we can be free of everything someone else told us, promised us or taught us to fear or turn away from, so that there is space to truly discern where you are and what your sense is, and more uniquely find your way and create your life, progressively more inclusive of your heart, body and mind. Next week (on April 24th) I'm having an online class to dive into this subject matter. You can go to the Classes with Christine page on Facebook and find the event, or go to the resources page and get the information there. I wonder what we can now know about Love Based Creation, and how easily, dynamically and joyfully it can come alive through each of our lives.

Beyond Mental & Emotional Manipulation

4/5/2019

In certain environments we may be around people who say, why can't you just be happy? Cheer up. You're okay. Everything's fine. In other words, how we're feeling is not okay. Our authentic response to the environment we're in is somehow wrong, or inconvenient to others. In that moment, if we don't sense the environment changing anytime soon, we yearn for a way to feel better about it. At some point the solution is given. Someone comes along and says, guess what, you can change the way you think and feel about the environment you're in! All you need to do is think different thoughts and then you will have a different feeling response. So basically, nothing needs to authentically change, you just get to think and feel different about it all and thus feel better no matter what! We hear that, and think, yes, what a great idea! I get to take control of how I think and feel and as a result I will get better feedback from the people around me who want me to feel happy and good and satisfied. So, we employ the strategy. Perhaps repeating thoughts like, "I'm exactly where I'm meant to be." And lo and behold, we feel better. That is a "good feeling" thought. And on we go, getting better and better at using thoughts to manipulate our feeling body and we feel good about ourselves because we're really making progress.

At some point as we're moving along feeling better no matter what, we get or are given by someone else the brilliant idea of extending this "practice" outwards. Rather than just employing it to manipulate and control how we think and feel, perhaps we can influence the people around us and make them think and feel better too. How ingenious! How clever we've become. So, we get to work, starting to offer other people these thoughts to implant into their "subconscious" mind so that they can feel different too. And oh, even better, once we do that enough we start to change and modify our behaviors so that we get different results in life. Now we've really gotten somewhere! Not only have we learned how to change how we think and feel regardless of what the environment is like, we now can influence our own and now others behaviors so that we are all making progress, taking control and making things better. On it goes, up the ladder, feeling good about our hard work, becoming more effective, getting the right thoughts in there and feeling good and proud, and then seeing some results. The control and manipulation is working, so we keep going. Employing the strategies more, and more and more.

At some point however, it may show up as a person in our life, or just from within our self, there is this anger, or backlash. Someone doesn't like being manipulated and controlled. It's stifling, un-kind, and even abusive. Even if it's so "positive" and "good" and "making things better." There's something inside us, or someone who shows up in front of us that goes: "go fuck yourself with all your bright ideas." And we're surprised. What is this anger? They, or something within me just doesn't get it! They are being negative, so lets find a way to get rid of them! If it's a person in your life it may be easier. If it's arising within you, then what? The response may be to double down, get stronger thoughts, to negate or be rid of this in-compliant response pattern.

The anger may subside, but then you may notice difficulty sleeping. Your mind just can't stop. Or you notice your body and there is all this tension. Or you notice that you're incapable of appreciating your environment or allowing yourself to feel sad when something occurs that is truly heartbreaking. Eventually there may be a pause. Something that wakes up in your body, a frequency, an intuition, the presence of a different energy that is essentially saying, take a breath, notice your body, pay attention to your breathing and observe the state of your mind. You hear the question: Is this where you want to be? And we allow the grief and sadness to well as the "no" emerges. Then perhaps there is a fear of not wanting to go back to what it was like before the positive manipulation strategy was introduced. You've gained so much by being able to control things and not be powerless over how you feel, you don't want to lose it all now. This voice of love that's beginning to wake up inside of you says "you won't". It's not like that. And so perhaps you begin to listen, and breathe, and get curious about how you authentically feel and whether this new frequency of love can help you change your life circumstances naturally and organically so that you're response to where you are is one of peace and calm, appreciation and acknowledgment of beauty.

As you breathe, and notice what's here, and what's arising, that perhaps wasn't available when you employed the strategy, you can ask for help from this loving field to surrender the strategies and go on a new adventure where you are loved, supported, honored and cared for every step of the way. For a different blog on this subject you're welcome to read Beyond Coping. And, if you would like assistance to shift from strategies of mental and emotional manipulation that you've outgrown, or if you're stuck in the fear of losing what you've gained please get in touch. There is another way that includes your heart, body and mind and is both directive and receptive in regards to life itself and it's not one that I can teach you, but as we are together you can remember it.

Beyond Self-Modification

3/4/2019

The fear-based learning classroom is the land of self-modification. It’s all about what you’re allowed to express and must reject to hopefully earn, deserve or be worthy of the rewards, and what you’re allowed to express and must reject to avoid the punishments. It gets even more complex than this! In addition to having to reject or hold back aspects of yourself and only expressing the aspects of yourself that are approved of, liked, desired or appreciated by those around you, there is also this concept of being “not good enough” or “too much.” Which means, what you inherently contain, even with this initial modification of partial expression and partial rejection, will not do! You have to become someone or something else entirely, someone or something different than that which you are. You must adopt traits, characteristics, or even entire belief systems from the people around you and then present those as “who you are,” and even then it may not be enough to guarantee rewards and prevent punishments! Some of us even went to the extent of rejecting the totality of our Self and becoming whatever the people in the environment needed or wanted us to be. In other words, we learned not to express our Self at all and only present to others what was internalized from them.

Living in this land of self-modification, under the conditions of partial or no self-expression, and partial or full self-rejection, at some point we can’t take it anymore! It’s like our very Being is screaming inside! It’s absolute torture to live this way. That which contains love, which is our very Being is so stifled or almost absent, that we feel starved, destitute, diminished and unfulfilled. We often oscillate between a deep longing to be who we are and express ourselves in the world and a deep hatred of the world or a hatred of other people for doing this to us, or an deep seated anger or rage at “that” which made us this way, whether “that” is internalized or externalized. Either I did this to myself (shame) or someone else did this to me or gave me no other choice then to do this (blame). Either way, we are trapped…Until we’re not. **And just as a side note, what is spoken here may or may not apply to you, so as you read I invite you to ponder the question of how you uniquely handled the “land of self-modification.” How did you cope? What was your strategy?

As I’ve been discussing in recent blogs, many of us have graduated or are graduating from fear-based learning and entering the love-based learning classroom. In this new space, love is. It’s a frequency that’s activated through your heart and body-mind via the presence of your Being. That which you are is here. And your Being, or that which is, ignites your heart and permeates your body-mind with this frequency of love and progressively transmutes carry-overs from fear-based learning. **And again, this is just an attempt to use language to describe what occurs that is beyond nameable, so use your own discernment to determine what resonates or is relevant for you. Either way, what I wanted to explore here is how given where we’ve been, there can be this tendency to enter the love based classroom and go “I am loved just as I am…I don’t have to change anything about me.” If you tune into this statement you may notice that it has the air of reaction to it. It’s actually an attempt to enact the opposite of self-modification, which would be no self-modification. That’s not actually what occurs in the love-based classroom. Instead, one way to put it is that we become reacquainted with this dance of Being and Becoming. In other words, we can fully acknowledge the presence of Being and receive fulfillment and nourishment in that field of love and then we can participate in life from that space or presence. That which we are becoming or showing up as in the world is always changing given the fluctuations in our body-minds and the nature of what’s on our hearts and the conditions of the world and the people in our lives.

We are consistently making adjustments in this play of becoming, or in this action of living, and what we be and do in the world. However, we are beyond self-modification in that the totality of Being is present, full, whole and radiant and unchanging, yet what we are becoming is every changing and thus inclusive of all sorts of modification and adaptation. The difference is that there is no self-rejection, just a participation in the play of expression from this ground of Being, or love-based foundation. In a sense, we have only just begun. This possibility is new to many, if not all of us. Thus the initiation of this new adventure and exploration, where our innocence and curiosity can be revived, and we have the energy to play and navigate life and living in a new way. What is truly possible now? A poem I wrote in 2011 is coming to mind, so I’ll include it here. I’ll also include a meditation I lead with a group of people online called Illuminating Brilliance, which can assist to unify your heart, body and mind through this presence of love. Enjoy! And, if you would like one-on-one support visit my session page. And, on Facebook you can visit my page Classes with Christine, and click on the events tab to see what I have coming up. Here is the poem and the meditation I mentioned...

New Life

Celebrating life
Refreshed and renewed
Centered in love
Letting the light shine
Remembering what it means to truly connect
Breathing in to the space created
Settling, drawing the mind into the present moment
It is here that beauty can be seen, felt and known
It is here that the depth of our being can be accessed
From this inner place of stillness inspired thought arises
Curiosity is sparked, innocence revived
Action flows effortlessly, in tune with what the moment is calling for
One step at a time, evolving towards a fuller expression of Self
Spontaneous waves of joy replace those of doubt
Peace calms the storms of fear
Thank you, thank you, thank you
May the blessings be

Establishing Love Based Relationships

2/27/2019

As I've been speaking to recently, we're coming into a time where it's truly possible to activate the frequency of love in and through the heart-body-mind and establish the unified functioning of the totality of Being. From this new base of love we can explore being with each other in the context of relationships. As we are more and more acclimated to this new inner environment, we can more clearly see and acknowledge where we've been and some of the physical, mental and emotional conditions that previously prevented the presence of this love and this capacity to act from this unified state. I wanted to name some of the fear-based conditions that we may have participated in and how it left us feeling.

The first is where love became an object or a thing and thus we or someone else became an object from which to extract love. We were then introduced to this concept of deserving love. As we look at this condition from the love-based perspective it's easy to see how damaging it would be to attempt to function in that set-up. Confusion, low-self esteem and oscillating between hurt, grief, sadness and anger and rage is a natural by-product of living in an objectified-love environment where we adopted strategies of manipulation and control over ourselves or others in a desperate attempt to attain, deserve, or somewhat sporadically or randomly be magically granted this love.

The second was where love became commodified, and we were now looking at making ourselves useful or valuable in order to be worthy of love. This is where the language of economics seeped into human relating and we started to think in terms of whether we were worthy of a relationship and what we could do to earn it. Or whether we provided adequate value to someone for them to want to be with us. Or whether a relationship was worth the investment. Or hoping that our investment in someone or in a relationship would pay off in the short term or the long run. Looking at this from the presence of Being, it's easy to see how damaging it was to constantly assess or decide upon our worth, value or use to someone else and theirs to us. The commodified-love condition resulted in us feeling worthless, useless, and like we had no value and potentially had no purpose or reason to exist at all! Or still scrambling to invest more into ourselves so that we could at least demonstrate that we were trying and really wanted to be better and one day would get there and finally be worthy of another's investment of their time and energy into us.

So, now is the time for us to acknowledge objectified-love and commodified-love and graduate from our participation in it. We can claim the frequency of love as our base. We don't live to earn, deserve or become worthy of it. Instead, we live from love, progressively recovering from these fear-based conditions through the unification of our hearts, bodies and minds. We can invite this presence of love to heal all the effects of trying to live without it or desperately seek it through any means available.

Through the naming and acknowledgment of what has been and what is different now, we can envision and establish relationships that are love-based and begin to truly relate Being to Being, heart to heart, and become present to what can be generated through the relationship. We'll no longer be performing or trying to impress and prove things to each other or give to get, or offer just to satisfy rather than because we are truly moved to. We can become natural, authentic, ease-filled and available to show up and give and receive that which benefits everyone involved, in tune with what we truly desire to give and truly desire to receive. If there are differences in needs, desires and preferences those can be acknowledged and we can work together to find a way to navigate through that and find solutions. And in all of this, we will each find our own way, and yet also can gain awareness from each other about what's possible to ignite and activate qualities within our Being, or elements within our Self that can now come to life and enhance the nature of living. Here we are, we are here and now is the time. A few years ago I wrote a blog called Transforming Patterns in Relationships where I explored some similar themes. You can also check out my recent blogs regarding Graduating from Fear-Based Learning for a more broad overview of the subject matter. May we all be completely resourced and be invited into love-based relationships now and in the future.

Acknowledging Simplicity within the Complexity

2/20/2019

I recorded a meditation today exploring the theme: navigating from where we are now. What emerged was more silence and spaciousness than words, and yet one thing that was spoken about was simplicity and complexity. If you find yourself to be spinning in a sea of complexity, overwhelm, confusion or just in a condition of being busy or feeling rushed or pressured, the energy transmitted through the meditation can assist you to access simplicity, acknowledge the presence your being and express that which arises through the acknowledgment. A few blogs on related topics that you may be interested in are: Managing Overwhelm, Tuning in Below the Noise and Managing Uncertainty & Instability.
