Free Meditation - to Experience your Boundlessness

3/31/2015

As humans (I'm guessing you're one of these creatures too?) we perceive the world through our 5 senses and we call this "reality". We think if we can't see it, touch it, hear it, smell it or taste it then it doesn't exist.

And yet there are phenomenon such as gravity and even emotions that don't fit into this "see, touch, smell, hear or taste realm". We do sense them, but they don't fit into this "5 sense" reality box. So what if there are even more energies, forces, worlds beyond our 5 senses? Would you want to connect with them? Experience them? Use all realms to your advantage?

This meditation connects you to your boundlessness. To that experience, that feeling and being-ness beyond your 5 senses. You experience a connection to ALL that is, rather than only experiencing life as a separate being, alone in this world, with boundaries through your 5 senses.

Can both realities exist together? Our separate, ego, human selves and our boundless, interconnected, energetic selves. I say yes!! And I say that this is the path to full integration of all that we are, to true happiness and peace. Accepting, loving and knowing both realities. Knowing ALL of ourselves.

So enjoy! ;-) And let me know what you experience in the comments below.

Here's to living a FULL life of both separateness and boundlessness and experiencing the joy and power from both realities xx

Week Eight of our Chakra Cleanse

3/30/2015

This week on our 8 week Kundalini Yoga & Meditation Chakra Cleanse we move onto our Aura.

As you read the information below, begin to connect to how your Aura may be manifesting in your life. Perhaps you feel quite in balance and strong in some of the areas mentioned. Maybe you feel you need a little balance and strengthening. Whatever comes up for you, bring it along to class to consciously work through your Aura to cleanse and bring balance to these areas of your life.

Radiance
Location: The electromagnetic field all around us
Colour: White
Qualities: The aura combines the effects of all the chakras and constitutes their total projection. The aura projects and protects.
Shadow: Shy, withdrawn, vulnerable

WHAT IS THE AURA?

The Aura is the vibrational field of energy surrounding our body and is formed by the patterns and level of development of each of the other Seven Chakras.

The repetition of our thoughts, behaviours and feelings also affect our Aura. We program this field with these receptive thoughts, behaviours and feelings and these patterns attract the events, relationships and experiences of our lives.

WEAKENING THE AURA

Everyone is unique in what stimulates their Aura. Some like bright lights and loud music, it stimulates and fills their Aura. Others get high on silence and calmness. Whichever you may be, we are continually subjected to different environments and so strengthening our Aura and Nervous System helps us maintain self-focus, withstand assaults, and be less reactive.

Our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health are registered in our Aura and in our Arc Line. Our Arc Line runs from ear lobe to ear lobe forming a halo around our head. Disease or Illness is apparent in our Aura and Arc Line before we manifest the physical symptoms of illness and stress. If we purify and strengthen our Aura our diseases can disappear.

Illnesses, invasive medical procedures, accidents, physical traumas, shocks and drugs all disturb the strength of our Aura. When this energy field is disrupted, we lose a sense of ourselves. We can become oversensitive and vulnerable and find it difficult to shut out sounds and energies that previously did not bother us. Taking time to isolate ourselves and nurture ourselves is recommended to rebuild the Aura after serious environmental disturbance.

Serious trauma can give messages to this subtle body that it is not safe to be here. To feel safe, we tend to avoid feeling our body. Being in our body is important to maintain a strong Aura. Therefore our connection and grounding in our First Chakra is imperative to establishing a strong Aura and maintaining a comfort zone of feeling inside our body.

We can become overprotective and avoid threatening situations when our Aura is weak as we experience being used by other people, zapping our energy or we can become too open, clinging to others to fill ourselves up and become depended upon their energy to feel safe and energised.

STRENGTHENING THE AURA & OUR ATTRACTION

Our whole Chakra System combines, working consciously, subconsciously or unconsciously to determine what we project, energetically ask for and attract. This combination creates our electromagnetic, Auric field.

The overall strength of our Aura gives us the sensitivity to magnetise, perceive, respond to, grab and hold on to opportunities. We have to be connected to the Earth and to our body to receive. Yogi Bhajan says that the human Aura can extend up to nine feet in every direction and that the depth of the Aura into the Earth determines our ability to attract and keep money. He says that our Aura connects from our heel and the centre of our foot into the Earth.

One way to extend and energies our Aura is to wear white natural fibre clothing. White reflects all of the colours where as black absorbs all of the colours and reduces the light and size of our Aura.

When we clean and claim our Aura and establish our own personal domain, we can help others more effectively and be unattached to the outcome. When our Aura Vibrates the pure light of our soul, the joy of uplifting others further illumines our Aura.

"Our most effective protection is to shine our own truth so brightly that all negativity is repelled and only the light of love radiates from our being and enters to nourish our core. Our most powerful communication is to radiate the Light of our Soul so powerfully that everyone feels loved in our presence" (Your Life is in Your Chakras by Guru Rattana Ph.D)

LOVE AND TRUST THE DIVINE

"One of Yogi Bhajan's over aching themes was about changing our mode of living from "pain and struggle" to "relax and attract" mode. This shift in consciousness involves both loving and trusting the Divine. Through love of the Divine, we activate the cosmic law of reciprocity. The more we love, the more we are loved. Mutual love arranges our affairs. It is the alignment that creates the magic. Prosperity is also related to trusting the Divine. Yogi Bhajan says that when we trust the Divine, Mother Nature can work for us." (Your Life is in Your Chakras by Guru Rattana Ph.D)

Week Seven of our Chakra Cleanse

3/22/2015

2 Comments

This week on our 8 week Kundalini Yoga & Meditation Chakra Cleanse we move upwards to our Seventh Chakra, our Crown Chakra or Sahasrara.

As you read the information below, begin to connect to how your Third Eye Chakra may be manifesting in your life. Perhaps you feel quite in balance and strong in some of the areas mentioned. Maybe you feel you need a little balance and strengthening. Whatever comes up for you, bring it along to class to consciously work through your Third Eye Chakra to cleanse and bring balance to these areas of your life.

Divine Connection, Reality Shift, Transcendence
Location: Crown of the Head
Organ/Gland: Brain, Pineal Gland
Colour: Violet
Qualities: The seat of the soul. Connection to the Highest Self. Enlightenment. Unity. Elevation. Relationship to the Unknown.
Shadow: Grief. The feeling of being separated from existence and from abundance. Fear of death.

REALITY SHIFT

At the Crown Chakra we are immersed in another reality. The reality of a non-physical world. At the Crown Chakra we are either tuned into the oneness zone or we are oblivious to this expanded reality.

The enlightenment faculties available at the seventh chakra include;

higher awareness and consciousness;
receptivity and communication with the Universal mind;
mystical knowing and transcendental understanding.

At the Crown Chakra the "veil of illusion" is lifted and we see through the dense physical vibration and the illusion of separation between human consciousness and universal consciousness. We leave our rational/dualistic mind behind and rely on our intuition and instincts to navigate time and space, where we encounter the mystery of the Unknown and the world of Spirit.

FROM UNAWAKENED TO DIVINE CONNECTION

It is part of the unawakened human condition to feel abandoned, separated and alone in the world and universe. Rather than feel this fear we use various forms of escapism and victimisation. We look for "god" outside of ourselves in people, possessions and addictions. The only solution to this feeling of separation and loneliness is found within our own being.

At the Crown Chakra we experiences and become aware of the reality that we are not separate. We awaken to the power of Love that is in everyone and everywhere. We heal our separation and abandonment wounds when we connect to the infinite energies that we all share.

We let go of control at the Crown Chakra and are able to let go, surrender, trust, forgive and live in humble gratitude. We fall in love with Love and blissfully relate to the Unseen.

A VASTER REALITY

"Our spiritual journey is not only about aspiring to something better; it is about awakening to something exponentially vaster. We are driven by our inner urge to align our life and to merge our energies with the Divine so that we can expand our existential experience and consciously participate in a reality infinitely larger than our personal earthbound world. In our heart, we desire to live by higher laws and to enjoy our oneness with the cosmos and Higher Love.

At this final stage in our human journey, we explore the transcendent and our relationship with the living universe. Our sense of unity and spiritual communion with the Divine integrates all our life experiences, opens our heart, makes our life whole and delivers us to ecstatic bliss. We find magic in oneness and let go and give God a chance."

Your Life is in Your Chakras by Guru Rattana PhD.

UNDERDEVELOPED, UNBALANCED & UNALIGNED STATES

During your early years, you were subjected to an assaultive environment. The adults who raised you were primarily authoritative, if not abusive. From the child's perspective, they were disapproving, unjustly critical and punishing "god" figures.

Doubt non-physical realities and deny realities beyond what is perceived through the five senses;
Fear of the unknown and feeling disconnected from nature, a higher source and your own soul;
Easily indoctrinated, believing in God or religion based on fear not inner experience;
Fear of God believing God punishes sins and rewards good behaviour;
Low self-concept believing you are weak, inferior and sinful and needing to have others believe as you do;
Mental weakness being gullible or judgmental and opinionated;
Lack of reverence for life;
Ideological & dogmatic needing to be right.

DEVELOPED, BALANCED & ALIGNED STATES

Open to the existence of non-physical realities and energies;
The unknown becomes known having perception of Truth, the Infinite and Universal Oneness;
Experience universal wisdom within self;
No separation between self, outer world and Universe, in harmony with inner and outer worlds;
Able to heal oneself and others by connecting to the healing and power of the Universe;
Experience a sense of cosmic order seeing the overall pattern and Grand Plan;
Experience an expanded perception of reality;
Feel the presence of the Divine realising your own divinity;
Graduate from mystery to mastery.

THINGS YOU CAN DO TO BRING BALANCE

Come to class this week! It doesn't matter if you've missed previous weeks of our Chakra Cleanse, if any of the above speaks to you, come along to class. You can pop in casually from now on for $20 for the Yoga or $15 for the Meditation;

Arms above the head;
Tune In and Ong.

AFFIRMATIONS

I am at one with what is, and always will be.
I am one with the Universe.
God and me, me and God are one.
I surrender to and trust the higher Infinite Power.
I surrender to God's Will. My will is God's Will.
There is always more in an infinite Universe.

Week Six of our Chakra Cleanse

3/15/2015

1 Comment

This week on our 8 week Kundalini Yoga & Meditation Chakra Cleanse we move upwards to our Sixth Chakra, our Third Eye Chakra or Ajna.

As you read the information below, begin to connect to how your Third Eye Chakra may be manifesting in your life. Perhaps you feel quite in balance and strong in some of the areas mentioned. Maybe you feel you need a little balance and strengthening. Whatever comes up for you, bring it along to class to consciously work through your Third Eye Chakra to cleanse and bring balance to these areas of your life.

Perception, Observation, Non-Judgement, Neutral Mind, Intutition
Location: Between the Eyebrows
Organ/Gland: Brain & Pituitary Gland
Colour: Indigo
Qualities: Centre of intuition, clairvoyance, visualising, fantasizing, concentration and determindation, self-inititation, power of projection, understanding your purpose.
Shadow: Confusion, depression, rejection of spirituality, over-intellecutalizing.

The Third Eye Chakra is where we shift from the known to the unknown. Our perception of the world through our senses shifts to our perception of the world through consciousness.

The Third Eye Chakra is where we end duality. We end our perception of right and wrong, good and bad, light and dark and we only see the truth of all that is. We see everything together and have no judgement or labelling upon it. We only see love.

With a balanced Third Eye Chakra we have the opportunity to;

Change channels from a dualistic mind to our neutral mind;
We begin to concentrate and have one pointed focus;
We awaken consciousness from thinking to awareness;
And we become a non-judgemental observer.

To awaken these qualities we need to develop the skills of;

1) Listening
2) Being Silent - not talking and not thinking

MANIFESTATION

The Third Eye Chakra is also the seat of manifestation. Where the Throat Chakra begins the process of bringing our desires into being, our Third Eye Chakra sees them before being spoken about. To manifest our true desires, we must connect with the energy of our heart, otherwise what we manifest is not in line with the desires of the universe. The Third Eye Chakra also allows us to be present so that we can enjoy the journey of life, rather than be focused on the future or the past as we do when we become preoccupied in the mind.

Clearing and balancing all of the Chakras is important for the clear pathway of these Visions to come down into physical manifestation. The Third Chakra also helps assimilate and focus the desires of all of the lower chakras. Rather than being confused by mixed messages from our emotional body or from the logic and reason of the mind, we tap into our instincts and intuition and this becomes our guide.

UNDERDEVELOPED, UNBALANCED AND UNALIGNED STATES

As a child you were not taught to trust and believe in yourself. Instead, you were taught to trust "expert" opinions. Your parents, teachers and preachers were "god" substitutes. You learned to evaluate "pros and cons" with you "rational" mind and not listen to your intuition and heart to know your truth. Your educational program emphasised importance of empirical data and information and reliance on the intellect to figure things out. Spiritual awareness and experiences were completely missing from early formation.

Unable to trust higher knowing, if it can't be measured it isn't real;
Stuck int eh dualistic mind and rational intellect, have to know "why" something has happened;
Have to plan and calculate everything, cannot relax and go with the flow;
Dont trust others, self or the Universe;
Avoid intimacy, heart and feelings, stuck in the mind to avoid emotion;
Control is the essence of power and see being "out of control" as a sign of weakness;
Deny spiritual realms, God is a myth and no life after death.

DEVELOPED, BALANCED AND ALIGNED STATES

Can stay mentally clear, focuses and one-pointed;
Can be an observer and not succumb to drama or stories;
Can intuit what is right and what isn't by listening within and getting an answer;
Expanded perception having an experience of the non-physical dimensions of reality beyond time and space;
Ability to resonate with oneness and universal energies by living in resonance and harmony with cosmic laws;
Psychic and clairvoyant abilties open up;
Creatively visualise and make an impact on reality by planting seeds within your consciousness;
See divinity within self and others.

THINGS YOU CAN DO TO BRING BALANCE

Come to class this week! It doesn't matter if you've missed previous weeks of our Chakra Cleanse, if any of the above speaks to you, come along to class. You can pop in casually from now on for $20 for the Yoga or $15 for the Meditation;
Chant Ong;
Four breaths per minute to awaken the neutral mind;
Breath of Fire - pulse navel and third eye;
Leg Stretches, pressing the big toe;
Root lock to third eye;
Focus at the tip of the nose;
Candle Meditation;
Bowing to the Infinite.

AFFIRMATIONS

Try one of these affirmations for the week. Write it on a sticky note and stick it up in your bathroom or somewhere you will see it daily.

I know and see the truth.
I am the source of my own guidance.
I trust my soul and the Universe within.
I can consciously participate in the co-creation of my own reality.
I see (and accept) the bigger picture and meaning of events.

THIS WEEK’S CLASS TIMES TO CHOOSE FROM

As I mentioned above, even if you have missed other weeks of the Chakra Cleanse you can still come along to class on a Casual Basis. Just send me a quick email so that I can save you a mat mish@meditationwithmish.com.

Wednesdays 7.30 - 9.00pm Yoga
Thursdays 9.30am - 11.00am Yoga
Saturdays 8.30am - 10.00am Yoga

As always I'm really looking forward to guiding you through our practice on the Third Eye.

I definitely feel it worthwhile working through this Chakra in these current times to eliminate the effects of fear that comes from a lack of trust in our own inner knowing.

Come to class this week with a question you want answered and hold that question in your mind throughout your practice and listen for an answer, connecting completely to your own intuition.

Week Five of our Chakra Cleanse

3/8/2015

0 Comments

This week on our 8 week Kundalini Yoga & Meditation Chakra Cleanse we move upwards to our Fifth Chakra, our Throat Chakra or Vishuddhi.

As you read the information below, begin to connect to how your Throat Chakra may be manifesting in your life. Perhaps you feel quite in balance and strong in some of the areas mentioned. Maybe you feel you need a little balance and strengthening. Whatever comes up for you, bring it along to class to consciously work through your Throat Chakra to cleanse and bring balance to these areas of your life.

Communication, Vibration, Hearing and Speaking the Truth, The Teacher
Element: Ether
Location: The Throat
Organ/Gland: Trachea, throat, cervical vertebrae, thyroid
Colour: Light blue
Qualities: The centre for truth, language, knowledge and the ability to communicate effectively. Authenticity. Healthy self-expression and interactions. Inspiring. Teaching. Embodying God’s Will.
Shadow: Lethargy, weakness in expressive and descriptive abilities, shyness, voice problems, insecurity, fear of the other people’s opinions and judgements. Throat problems, neck problems thyroid problems.

THE THROAT CHAKRA AND MANIFESTATION

Our throat chakra is the bridge between the physical and non-physical, the body and the mind, it is the gateway to higher consciousness. The fifth chakra communicates, commands and creates through sound, rhythm and subtle vibrations. The element it is related to is Ether. Ether is vibration. Sound and Ether cannot be seen and yet we can feel and hear it. This is how the throat chakra is the bridge between the physical and non-physical. Ether is the very beginning of the process of manifestation. Manifestation begins in ether, moves to air, then fire, water and earth where it exists in physical matter.

The throat chakra is a neutral messenger, it will communicate whatever is channelled through it from the other chakras. It does not filter or evaluate whether it should say one thing or another. This is where working through the whole chakra system helps us become more conscious so that we can observe and choose what we wish to communicate.

MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS OF SOUND

Sound at the throat chakra helps translate symbols and thoughts into information that can be shared and understood.

Sound is a communicator allowing how we feel and think to be communicated to others;
Sound is a purifier harmonising frequencies within us and elevating lower frequencies;
Sound is a transformer as it can penetrate and transform our vibrations at a cellular level;
Sound is a connector bridge connecting the non-physical and physical realms.

THROAT CHAKRA LESSONS, SKILLS & IMPACT

The Throat Chakra is concerned with the power of sound and how we use it to create our reality and communicate and listen to ourselves, others and the Universe.

Working with the Throat Chakra we learn how to listen to our words, pay attention to what we are saying and choose our words wisely. When we pay attention and take care with what we are projecting through sound we become aware of how our words impact what we attract into our lives. We also gain a centred insight into ourselves and have the ability and courage to speak our truth.

When we communicate the Throat Chakra needs the counsel of our Third Eye Chakra to observe what is happening as the Third Eye is associated with our intuition. It also needs the assistance of our lower chakras to feel our emotions and the state of those who we are communicating with. Our Heart then balances our chakras with the other person so that our vibrations are on the same frequency to hear and understand each other.

Yogi Bhajan said that the “purpose of communication is to make another person hear what you are saying”. We sometimes don’t know what the other person is hearing through their filters. The Throat Chakra helps you come into frequency with the other so that you can hear what each other is really saying. When the Throat Chakra speaks from a loving heart, one’s words penetrate the heart of the listener.

SACRED SOUNDS

We can use sacred mantras and the power of these vibrations to upgrade how we create our reality. Chanting and reciting divine mantras shifts our internal conversation and imprints higher frequency patterns in all of our chakras. The repetition of sacred sounds makes it possible to learn how to talk with ourselves, others and the Universe in honest, truthful, uplifting and spiritual ways.

UNDERDEVELOPED, UNBALANCED & UNALIGNED

"Growing up, you had to be demonstrative and act out to get attention and your needs met. Your parents did not listen to you. You were often reprimanded for stating your opinion, expressing your needs or trying to get your needs met. You couldn't be honest without being punished for being naughty and out of line."

Cunningness using speech and words in self serving ways to manipulate others and get what you want;
Manipulating by not communicating what you want directly expecting the other to guess what it is you want;
Withdrawing remaining distant and uninvolved, staying in the mind to avoid emotions;
Self-protective speaking only when you feel safe;
Risk avoidance from rejection, criticism and judgement or avoiding creating waves;
Copycat adaptive going along with what others want even if its not what you truly want;
Always trying to fit into others wishes and priorities creating stress for yourself losing your own flow and rhythm.

DEVELOPED, BALANCES & ALIGNED

Aware of the vibrational world around you and sensitive to the voices from all chakras;
Empathic tuning into and feeling where others are coming from and communicating, even without words;
Willing to share and speak from the heart, not from the head and intellectualising;
Teaching through example, speaking the truth and being authentically yourself inspiring others to be authentically themselves;
Detached objectivity being able to observe the world and circumstances without a need or desire to manipulate or change it. Able to see the higher meaning and purpose in circumstances;
Supreme reasoning with an ability to understand what is true beyond limitations of time and cultural conditioning and speak with authority without expecting agreement and validation;
Share wisdom from awakened heart and mind interacting with awareness, comprehension and commitment to higher truth;
Make an impact through your higher vibration and intentions.

THINGS YOU CAN DO TO BRING BALANCE

Come to class this week! It doesn't matter if you've missed previous weeks of our Chakra Cleanse, if any of the above speaks to you, come along to class. You can pop in casually from now on for $20 for the Yoga or $15 for the Meditation;

We are going to have the Timber Mill buzzing with vibration this week!

Week Four of our Chakra Cleanse

3/1/2015

0 Comments

This week on our 8 week Kundalini Yoga & Meditation Chakra Cleanse we move upwards to our Fourth Chakra, our Heart Chakra or Anahata.

As you read the information below, begin to connect to how your Heart Chakra may be manifesting in your life. Perhaps you feel quite in balance and strong in some of the areas mentioned. Maybe you feel you need a little balance and strengthening. Whatever comes up for you, bring it along to class to consciously work through your Heart Chakra to cleanse and bring balance to these areas of your life.

Integration, Balance, Self-Love, Devotion
Element: Air
Location: Middle of the chest on the breast bone at the level of the nipples
Organ/Gland: Heart, lungs, thymus gland.
Qualities: Compassion; kindness; forgiveness; service; love. Recognising and understanding these qualities in others. Sacred transformation. Awakening to spiritual awareness
Shadow: Grief. Attachment. Closed to surroundings. Easily hurt. Dependent on love and affection from others. Fear of rejection. Helper syndrome. Heartlessness. Heart problems; lung problems; blood pressure problems

HEART CHAKRA CONNECTION

The Heart Chakra is at the centre of all the other chakras. It is the Balance Point in between the lower chakras and the upper chakras. It has both qualities, the Intuitive Wise qualities of the Upper Chakras and the Grounded Aliveness of the lower Chakras.

It is the connection point between;

mind & body
personality self & soul self
giving & receiving
inner and outer worlds
physical & non-physical reality

At the Heart Chakra is the balance point between the other chakras to open this chakra we need to;

release blockages in the lower chakras (which we have done in our Kundalini Yoga & Meditation classes thus far)
create inner calm in our upper chakras which protect us from worldy pressures making it safe for us to live in the world (which we will be doing in the upcoming weeks of practice together)
and cultivate upward and downward flow in our spine (which all of our Kundalini Yoga & Meditation practice supports us to do)

OUR HEART CHAKRA OPEN & CLOSED

When our Heart Chakra is open and flowing it creates harmony within us as it has both clarity and feeling. We feel connection to each other and to the Infinite. We experience integration of the mind, body and spirit supporting our state of wholeness, peace and love.

Love is a peaceful state of deep inner presence that grows from acceptance, inclusion and allowing. It is inner harmony arising from a lack of judgement over ourselves, others or our circumstances. It is a state of complete flow with life and all that is.

When our Heart Chakra is not open we define love from our 2nd Chakra our Sacral Chakra. We try to get our Sacral Chakra's needs met which are conditional and emotional interactions. We look outside ourselves for acceptance and love. Rather than going deep within and fulfilling our own needs and desires and accessing a connection with the Devine, we project these upon others and think that the pain we are experiencing is outside ourselves and being done "to us" rather than coming from us.

As with all of the Chakras, we need our whole Chakra system to be in balance to help support the whole system. Relating to the heart we can use the fire of anger in the 3rd Chakra (Navel Chakra) to take action for ourselves we can use the Third Eye's intuition to witness our attachments and know how we may be impeding true, allowing love and we can use our balanced 2nd Chakra (Sacral Chakra) to let go, to relax and release our neediness and addictive behaviours within our relationships with others.

We can give up the temporary comfort of relying on others to compensate and cover up our own insecurities and neediness.

SELF LOVE & DEVOTION

To heal and open our Heart Chakra we must also have Self-Love and Devotion to the Devine. Only through self acceptance, self kindness and self compassion can we then truly love another. We must take away all judgement of ourselves and our experiences, choices, actions and emotions before we can do the same for another. Those things within us that we can't love. Those traits we reject about ourselves. Those choices and actions that we judge ourselves for, we will also judge in another. We will never love anyone exactly how they are if we can't love ourselves exactly as we are.

Self Love also brings us into alignment with the love of the Devine. There is no judgement in the Universe only acceptance of what is and a realignment with balance. When we begin to experience ourselves and others as the Devine experiences us, accepting fully however we show up in the present moment "our oneness with the Devine gives us independence in relationships, non-attachement in circumstances and opens our hear tot both give and receive" (Your Life is in Your Chakras, Guru Rattana Ph.D).

UNDERDEVELOPED, UNBALANCED & UNALIGNED

Like most people, you grew up with conditional love, which meant that you had to compromise yourself in an attempt to try to get love, recognition, validation and needs met. You were exploited to meet others' needs and rightfully felt deprived, used and rejected.

Feel unloved and uncared for and build your life so you don't have to be alone or abandoned or you isolate yourself so you can't be hurt again;
Alienate yourself and feel undeserving of being loved;
Evaluate yourself and define your identity according to the outcome of your actions;
Hypersensitivity to criticism or rejection;
Strongly attached to systems or structures to find stability;
Drain yourself for others to get recognition, attention and love;
Feel and create separateness and do not allow love in because you don't trust others and question their sincerity;
Opinionated to cover up doubt and shame, critical, judgemental and blaming.

DEVELOPED, BALANCED, ALIGNED

Unconditional love for self and others, no expectations or requirements to accept and respect others and self;
Able to observe situations and accept them without judgement, just for the way they are;
Acceptance and understanding of your place in the grander scheme of things aware that experiences teach and expand you;

Calmness within the chaos of life;

Experience the unity and purposefulness in all interactions and relationships seeing the bigger picture of interrelatedness and interdependence;
Openness to receive, experiencing a prosperity consciousness;
Experience sacredness and unity of all things and beings;
Experience the energy of love that permeates all life;
Use the power of love for self-transformation and healing;
Live in harmony with environment and circumstances;
Honour the laws and intent of the cosmos;
Live in grace, gratitude, going with the flow of life, achieving balance and harmony;
