Why Do You Do What You Do?

Why do you do what you do? And when was the last time you stopped to ask yourself that?

Of course, I mean: What is the overall plan? Where are you going with this?

But I also mean: If you die tomorrow, will you be satisfied with the everyday process to date as well as with the end result you are seeking? Are you enjoying the ride? Why do you do what you do in the way you are doing it?

Why do you do what you do? I don't have an answer for you. I can only share with you the question I ask myself daily and say honestly that the reason I do what I do everyday, with family, friends and clients, is because I am interested in the potential for love, growth and spiritual awareness.

So, why do YOU do what YOU do?

Who Owns Your Time?

Who owns your time?

Do you own your time? And therefore do you own yourself?

Does your tribe own you? Do you do what your peers (friends, colleagues, family or neighbors) expect? Can you bear the thought of doing anything that would lead them to decide that they feel betrayed? Do you vacation where they expect you to? Do you eat food that makes you sick because they give it to you?

Does your career own you? Do you do things for your career advancement that are detrimental to your health, your family, your children's development, your self-respect?

Do your parents still own you? Are you still abiding by your childhood standards even when you know they hurt you or undermine your chosen lifestyle?

Do you respond to the fear that lives in your reptilian brain? Does your desire to avoid fear drive what you do and don't do and so own much of your time?

Do your children own you? Do you do what they want or expect even when they don't need you to?

Does the bank own your time and therefore you because you are so far in debt?

Does money own you because you chose it over creativity, time, health, rest, respect?

Do old unconscious patterns from early life own you and create painful situations that keep repeating themselves?

At some point of my life I have answered yes to all of the above. As I mature the trick seems to be able to know which mode I am in at any given moment. And to try to own myself and my time by making decisions that are loving for myself so that I have extra love to give and share. Overflowing, abundant, joyful love.

Anything that comes between you and love, between you and creativity, between you and the life you really desire owns you and your time. Anything that enhances and fosters your creative and loving desires, you own and you create joy when you give it time.

So, who owns YOUR time? And are you happy with the situation?

Love is Easy

It occurred to me today that

Love is easy

Love is flow

Love is life

Love is light

Love is Light

Love is not easy as in 'cheap and easy', nasty. Love is easy as in 'just happens'. As in 'just flows'.

As soon as what you think of as love becomes complicated, as soon as you need to justify it, you are not 'in love' anymore. You are 'in wound', 'in fear' or 'in pain'.

Love just is, just happens, just flows. Anything else might be interesting, but it's not love.

Love is easy: it's the flow of Divine Light made into life. Love is life. Love just is. And just being is easy, it flows.

Are YOU in love or in pain?

Everyday Intuition

What does it mean to be an energy healer, an intuitive, an empath?

In my case it means that I receive a lot of information all the time, which can make everyday life much easier and simpler.

For example recently a friend of mine was looking for a work position in a scarcely populated rural area where very few jobs come up. Last week I woke up from a nap with a very clear voice saying: "look in X town for such positions and tell her it's ok to move there".

My rational mind thought "Right. Sure! " The voice became more insistent and said "Tell her that".

I was secretly going to dismiss the direction to inform her because I did not know how she would take it so the order came really clearly: "TEXT her, NOW!!"
When I hear that tone of voice I have learned from experience that it is much better if I do as I am told.

So I texted my friend with the information. She was touched that I would want to do so. So it was worth it just for that.

She also checked in that town and there was a position. Past the deadline. Phone call: job still open. She applied yesterday.

I guess the 'voice' knew something I did not.

And before you tell me that I knew of the vacancy because I had heard it on the news or read it in the newspaper, forgotten it and stored it as a dormant memory: I don't read the paper or listen to news ever. So it had to come from somewhere else!

Do YOU have a similar experience you would like to share?

The Acid Test

My acid test, the one question I always ask myself when I make a decision is: "Would I do this if I was going to die in a year from now?"

I find that it focuses the mind wonderfully and automatically sets priorities.

Have YOU tried it? Let me know in a comment below: you know I LOVE hearing your story!

Eating Raw

I mentioned in a Thanksgiving post that I dropped from a size 10/12 to a small 4 in 9 months without trying and without 'dieting' (meaning that I was eating as much as I wanted, whenever I wanted and a very varied diet). I was asked how it happened. The answer is really simple:

1- I started eating 90 % raw (that's because I choose to eat some meat, fish and eggs that I prefer to cook and a little bread)
2- I detoxed on and off for those 9 months (I was using Colonix at times but that is a matter of personal choice)
3- I also detoxed through juicing for several days at a time.
4- I did a lot of energy work to heal the negative emotions that came up as I stopped stuffing them down with food. Four years ago I successfully overcame an addiction to spending so I knew I could do it with food as well.
5- I eat A LOT of green leafy veggies (even hide them in my morning smoothie)

I eat 90% raw when the weather is warm.

I eat 70 or 80% raw when it gets cold because

• I find it easier to stay warm when I eat warm food, which tends to be cooked. When my body feels spring coming I will be craving more raw food again and it will be a natural transition.
• Eating is a very sociable activity in my life and I enjoy eating with my friends and family around the holidays.
• You can't beat the smell of soup in the house on a snowy day!

The higher the proportion of raw food the more I can honestly say that I can eat as much as I want because when you eat raw, you get hungry very suddenly but when your body has had what it needs, you just don't want any more from one mouthful to the next. So most people don't over eat on raw. I know I don't.

The benefits of eating high raw have been for me:

• increased vitality : this is why I went raw
  
• end of low blood sugar episodes
• vastly improved moods, generally joyful now
• vastly improved sleep patterns
• clear skin
• weight loss (a welcome side effect)
  
• deeper, more accurate intuition
• easier, faster energy work
• improved taste and smell

I have been eating high raw for 18 months now. It's a lifestyle. This is purely a personal account and my personal opinion. I had the support of a friend when I got started. Now I have the support of other friends who saw how much I changed for the better and who are eating raw or more raw. Support makes a big difference when you start eating raw.

There is a ton of information online. I personally found Matt Monarch's monthly newsletter very informative and helpful. (The Raw Food World)

Feel free to comment! I know uncooked food can be a hot topic!
