Acknowledge Where You Are Now As OK

ackowledgewhereyouare

I will admit…I’m feeling like I’ve hit rock bottom. Things have not been this scary for me in many years.

So much is going on in the world and the astrological events have us feeling unstable, unsure and disappointed.

Fortunately, Saturn turned direct after its four months in retrograde. Literally, from the second day it went retrograde until yesterday, I have been in a state of questioning. What exactly IS my work? What kind of routine do I want? How do I do what I really want to do? I’m very unhappy with certain things in my life right now.

Saturn has been in my 6th house – the house of work, service and our routines.

I can look back now and see how it made me question everything, it made me weigh all I was doing and make some core decisions. It hasn’t been pleasant.

I over-reacted when things felt out of control and my ‘reality’ seemed unsure.

I know that focusing on my uncertainty and my current frustration isn’t going to get me where I want to be.

This has been a huge opportunity for me to really hone in on how we need to NOT focus on the stuff around us that feels and looks negative.

But, how do we do this?

After my housemate did a tarot reading for me, I calmed down. She assured me that underneath the surface, things were just fine. I think some wise advice for things right now are to take deliberate actions instead of reacting to how things seem to be.

I reached out for help by talking to a few friends.  It helped immensely. We all need that right now. Don’t forget to reach out if you need to. Allow yourself to receive care and support, and be open to unexpected GOOD. Things are better than they seem.  Even if it feels as if nothing is happening – guess what?  It is – even if we can’t see it right now.

The exercise below helped me a lot, so I wanted to pass it along to you.

Here are 3 powerful steps to help you clear any past (or current) gunk so you can move forward:

  1. Acknowledge where you are right now. Acknowledge it on an emotional level. The past doesn’t exist anymore. Who you were is no longer. But, as humans, we hold onto all that gunk and it clogs us up when we try to make any changes. Guess what? It’s all OK. Own it. Own any negative feelings you have right now about money issues, about how you feel about yourself, how you feel about how you make your living, how you feel about any failures, mistakes or confusion. You can’t get clear when the muck of any negative feeling is clogging you.

Do you feel stuck? Scared? Unsure? Powerless?

Write it all down. Create a poem about it. Dance it out. Slather paint on a board that represents it.

Make sure you address all negative emotions that you currently have about your life.

Then step back and say. “All of that is OK. But now I’m focusing on how I want it to be and I’m moving on. And you’re not moving on with me.”

You must release it to the point that it no longer has an emotional charge for you. Because what’s in front of you right now is perfect.

Yes, read that line again: Because what’s in front of you right now is perfect.

How can bad health, or no money, or the insanity of our country’s politics, or the economy be perfect as it is?

Narrow your focus down to just YOU. Where you are, what is going on, IS perfect, right now.

You do this in order to retrain how you think and focus. sunset_choosereality

Regardless of what is going on around you and what others are saying, feeling and thinking, you don’t have to buy into it and make it your vibration. You can choose NOT to focus in on it, always be talking about it, getting all riled up about it. You have a choice, which is what your innate power is – to choose your reality.

To move past what is not feeling good for you currently in your life is to become a vibrational match for what you DO WANT as often as you can.

What are the majority of your thoughts? THAT is what Source will match and bring to you.

The stuff that is upsetting you is upsetting you because that is what you are focusing on. Paying attention to it isn’t going to make it better.  Expecting things to be better, imagining how you want it to be and knowing things WILL improve WILL make it better.

Back to that where you are is perfect statement.

It is where you need to be in order to know exactly what you want.

That has been HUGE for me. Because of how things are for me right now, I have been getting REALLY clear on exactly what I want, where I want to be and what I want to do.

Once you acknowledge the gunk –

  1. You focus on all the positive things you have going on right now and have accomplished and are grateful for in your life.

Where have you succeeded? What do you do well? What in your life is working really well? What do you have that you love? What do you do that you love and are good at?

Don’t limit this list. Get into everything about you that is on track and awesome – even the little things!

 

  1. Go back to that first list and one by one, take responsibility for it. With each one, say, “Yes, this is how I feel about this. I created this. It happened. So what?”

Surrender to it. With no judgment.

So what if you’ve been stuck? So what if you’ve been scared and freaked out about money? So what if you’ve felt a lack of confidence in your abilities? So what if someone made a negative comment about something you did? So what if your parents think you are not as far in life as they think you should be?  So what if you failed at the last 3 attempts to start a business?

Why can you say “so what?” to all of it?

Because the ONLY thing it means is that you weren’t in alignment with what you wanted.

Period.

It has NOTHING to do with your ability, potential or possibilities. Zip. Nada.

Shit happens. Shit happens to all of us. We all go through negative times and feelings. We all get stuck, make mistakes and freak out.

But now….now you realize this and you can just let it all go and stand in a new space… a space of: “Now I know what I want and how to be in alignment with it so I can manifest it.”

 

You know how contrast can make a story, image or poem pop? Well, it makes life pop too. It makes us see and know what we don’t like or want, so we can focus on what we do want.

That is all.

Repeat after me. “That is all.”

Here is a little secret for you: If you let it go and truly release the emotional charge of it, then anyone who might’ve been part of making you feel bad about it, will also stop.

The world can be going “to hell” as we like to say, but things can be blissfully peachy for you – because that is what Source will deliver to you – as long as you take your focus OFF the “going to hell” stuff. 😉

 

Let’s retrain how we think, shall we?

 

What is it Like to Change in Frequency?

What is it like to change your frequency?

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been thinking a lot about what has happened to me and to Randi since March 27th – the day we decided to become biz partners and share the information she was receiving through her channeling.

I have experienced odd physical sensations and I think a lot about Ashley Maple – about transforming into Ashley Maple.

Who is Ashley Maple?

I wanted to share this story with you, as it is a big part of this week’s forum topic: Manifesting in the NOW! (Already a member? Here is the forum topic. Not a forum member? Go here to become one!)

You can read the condensed version of why Create the Leap changed here, but I wanted to elaborate on a few details.

On March 27th, under a big oak tree covered in Spanish moss, in Airlie Gardens, Randi and I did a session for me. I needed answers and was very distraught.

I was guided to pick a word that would be the name to represent the “future” me. I immediately saw in my mind’s eye a maple leaf floating in the air and picked “Maple.”

I was then guided on seeing me in the future and that me would be represented by the name Ashley Maple. Where was she? What was she doing?

I saw her dancing with other women on green grass (like in a pretty park), then sitting in a circle and teaching. Then I saw her in an RV, traveling and meeting new people on a regular basis. She was happy, healthy and always dancing.

The session went on to explain that the future me already existed – but at a different frequency and in a different dimension. And that we have access to any dimension we wish to tap into and we can become any of the versions of ourselves we desire by changing our frequency to match that version. This is how we manifest something we want in our life.

Now, that can all sound very woo-woo sci-fi (especially of you aren’t used to that manifesting lingo). But by seeing that version of me and giving her a name, I could tap into her. It also allowed me to see that I would be OK. Things weren’t as devastating as I felt they were at the time.

As the weeks passed and we were being taught through Randi’s channeled sessions, I kept Ashley Maple in my mind. I would see her in her RV, at gatherings, teaching with Randi and traveling.

I was researching RVs and going to look at all the various models and floor plans and at the nearby RV parks. I was picking the brain of a close friend of mine who was living full-time in an RV.

The more we did with the new work and the more I tapped into Ashley Maple, the more I saw changes within me. Not just with my attitude, but my dreams and my body.

I was having stretches of days where I was dog tired and needed over 9 hours of sleep. I was craving certain foods and not wanting food I normally ate. I was envisioning life in my RV – cooking, eating, doing yoga, walking my dog in the RV park, talking to other RVers and maneuvering my big truck/fifth wheel RV down the road.

I was also questioning all that was happening. Who was I to share this work? Was this for real? How did I get so lucky to actually get to do something I’ve always wanted to do?

And of course the BIG question: HOW was I going to GET said truck and fifth wheel?

The more sessions we did, the more I grasped that it was simply about changing my frequency to that of “Ashley Maple.”

She owned the RV and was doing what I want to do. She already existed. She was already doing her thing. I didn’t have to figure out how to get the RV or how to go from where I was to where she was in a linear fashion, I just had to change my frequency/vibration and become her.

It has been a gradual change. Little things have happened that might not even look like a frequency change, but is part of the process.

It took my close friend over a year to get her life changed around to go from living in a nice suburban house to living in an RV full-time. You have to downsize, you have to only have things in your kitchen supplies that are necessary and won’t break if they go bump while on the road. You might need a storage unit and you’ll switch out seasonal clothes. No more knick-knacks and you don’t need furniture.

I saw myself getting aggravated at not living near my favorite grocery store when I had to move last month but then I realized, as much as I love my routine and my fav shopping spots, when living in an RV, I’ll need to be more flexible in that regard. What I was currently going through was changing my frequency – letting me learn to not be so attached to my fav grocery store.

At first, I wasn’t even letting myself think about driving a big gas guzzling truck all the time. How can I feel that way about big trucks and still manifest one? I couldn’t. It won’t work.

So, one day I started noticing all the big trucks on the road – which ones were big enough to haul a fifth wheel? Which ones did I like? I started noticing the fifth wheels on the highways and what trucks were with them.

I still had a conflict regarding the truck though – I loved my car and didn’t want to be driving a big truck all the time – I wanted to keep my car for when parked here at home.

I knew I had to find my alignment with that or it would block me, so I asked the Universe to help me out. One day as I was driving through downtown, it hit me- when I am parked here at home, I can rent out my truck through Turo and drive the car I have. That switched my feelings about having a big truck and it changed my vibration.

I realized that I needed “time” to take care of all the adjustments. If someone had given me a wad of cash right when I had this idea and I went and bought an RV right then and there, I’d probably be having all kinds of issues right now. I would not have been in alignment, or in the right frequency to be living that life yet.

So, while we are learning to live outside the constraints of time (like learning that it isn’t about the money to reach your goals), we are still humans and we need to adjust things to match up with our desires.maple_leaves_time

I’ve taught this for years, but this experience really brought it home for me in so many ways!

Yes, I could instantly switch my frequency to that of Ashley Maple. We are capable of doing that. We are capable of SO much more than we think! But, it is taking these little steps and adjustments to help me make the changes needed.

 

I wanted to look at this in a practical manner as well. Let’s see how this works in the old typical way verses the Age of Omniscience way:

Old Way

  1. I need 80k or more to buy the RV and the truck (how do I make that kind of money? And fast? Brain goes into the mode of trying to figure that out and probably gives up)
  2. Do I finance it? If so, I need to raise my credit score and show consistent income (I’m self-employed and my income comes in chunks and not with pay-stubs – so I’d probably get denied.)
  3. I need to work 3 jobs and try to put a ton of money away. (ugh)
  4. Do I know anyone who would loan me the money? No…

Even writing these out, I feel heavy and like a loser…those feelings are very low vibrations and will get me NOWHERE!

 

New Way

  1. I don’t need to know HOW – Source has an infinite way of setting this up for me. (Wow, that feels nice!)
  2. I keep envisioning myself in the RV and when I feel inclined to go look at models and parks, I go and I learn more about them. (That is fun!!)
  3. I envision myself living in one and I see where I need to downsize and I go about doing that. (Feels good to make my life much simpler!)
  4. When I come up against a sticking point, I ask the Universe to sort it out for me and I get an idea of how to do just that.
  5. It isn’t about the dollar amount. 80k for Source is no big deal. I just have to be vibrationally “ready.” (I can do that. It’s nice actually to have this time to adjust.)

Writing out this new way feels much easier, lighter and is a higher vibration!

It has been fun to refer to this me that I’m becoming with a name. I can talk about her and feel her and know she already exists. It empowers me – verses feeling like this is a goal I can’t achieve.

Whenever I see a  maple leaf in designs or in nature, I see it as a wink and a nod from Source and it makes me feel supported.

I am simply becoming Ashley Maple. That lets me do this outside the constraints of “time” and the limitations it puts on me.

Bottom line – this feeeeeels waaaaaay better than the old way. I feel more like her each day and know that I AM HER!
