It has come in the form of new or altered perspectives on my childhood and what was actually happening in my younger years. Like many people, I had shaped my memories to fulfil a narrative that I could cope with, something that felt good or manageable. However as I unpack my memories, I find that the reality was a very different story and this has brought such a wonderful opportunity to heal it has been quite exciting and relief.

As an adult and mother seeing things through a child’s eye has been a revelation and allowed myself to start  the forgiveness process as well and changing personal beliefs. As always with Theta, it is a mind blowing experience and one I am looking forward to continue when I take my new certificate course later this year. 

In talking to my clients in February many had similar experiences, changes to what they thought was reality and shaping into fact, new behaviors’ and beliefs as an adult. We are always peeling the layers of conscious thought, feelings and behaviours to become the best version of our selves. 

All to fast February has passed and March is here, what has February been for you? Did you find old memories pop up for healing ? 

March is looking like a month of decision making, which if we change our beliefs we should find decision making easier as we continue on our path of self realization. 

I am looking forward to reaching out in my Q&A session this month and help you onto a path of new understandings.  

As always, many thanks for your feedback and updates on how life is treating you.

Blessings to you all

The post Tarot of the week – Angel Francesca appeared first on Opus Soul Community.

In our life now, in our modern life, my partner and I, we create memories at Christmas time. We have access to shops 365 days a year. You can buy your t-shirts and your shorts and your underpants and your funky ties any time of the year, any time of the year. But in creating something memorable at Christmas, to me anyway, makes Christmas feel special. Now that could be volunteering in the soup kitchen, it could be spending time in a sacred space. The last couple of years, our Christmas presents t each other have been very simple in that we save up and we buy a concert ticket and that is our memory. We will always remember going to that concert. We will always remember seeing that beautiful performance. We will always have it. That’s not something that can be taken away or thrown away, discarded, or simply something that we grow out of.

So, I want you to really think about what is important to you. Is it the giving of a gift? Is it the creating of a memory? What is it that, at Christmas time, really symbolizes or reflects who you are? And it could be that by making a really simply change, you can impact your life quite differently, or create memories that will be everlasting, much longer than something that’d you’d buy and place under a tree.

Our lives in the digital age have become condensed and manipulated to such and extent we are constantly seeking approval, acting out and giving over to much of ourselves to others. In an age of instant satisfaction, we have forgotten how to switch off and just breath! 

I for one can get caught up in reacting to demands being made upon me and I have to consciously switch off and set boundaries to ensure I have some time that is private and of value to me. 

In talking to my clients, it seems many have been really pushed to the extreme end of the wedge so to speak. They are feeling overwhelmed, blindsided and in some cases just plain exhausted. This has left them feeling powerless and out of balance within may aspects of their life. Personally I feel that giving yourself permission to switch off has to be a conscious act, not something to be put off but added to your day/evening/week or weekend. 

How do you get balance back you may ask? Set out some perimeters for your recharge time, schedule it into your mobile device even as a reminder. Your recharge practice could be a short meditation, sitting in the car for 5mins before heading into the office these are all small steps that can bring balance into your life. 

We as humans can’t run 100% for 100% of the time, we need time to decompress and reflect. When we give ourselves time to decompress we gain new insights into our situations and can find the space we need expand our energy into new ways of being. 

Life balance is a personal thing, there is no right of wrong, just be sure you find some time for yourself each day – is it time to put yourself first? 

Enjoy the rest of November and I will see you in December.   

Blessings to you all

The post Live Balance – What is that? appeared first on Opus Soul Community.

Following on from my journey with my Reiki students, there was an interesting question asked about our past and how to explain the past without coming across as a victim. It is a fact that for some, being a victim to circumstances is a badge of honor – something to they talk about constantly, however this has a limiting effect on our lives and can become a stigma over time. 

I have been mulling over the question posed and the answer I came to was – Re-frame the events into something more positive in their life. Instead of an event happening in their life, they can change it to – “due to this event, I have become……..”, this was perceived as more powerful and healing for this student. 

I for one, have Re-framed many events in my life, what does this actually mean? For myself it is taking an event and using words that describe the event in a more positive/advantageous light in my life. This is not to deny the event but rather talk about it in my own terms and who I became due to the event. Every difficult situation will always have a positive and negative process in your life, choose the positive if possible. 

One of the exercises I ask my student to do in the Mindful Manifestation retreat is to write a story about themselves. It is short – 2 paragraphs to be completed within 30mins. In the story you have access to every resource you need, there are no limits. This is a hugely powerful exercise and for some students it puts a completely different feel/emotion to past events. Seeing their life in a different light completely changes their perspective – This is Reframing! 

As we move through another eventful year with global, domestic and personal events taking their toll, think about how to reframe some of the issues that have impacted you – what words can you use to better describe what has happened and the new positive you.  

As always we are constantly becoming the very best version of ourselves and this exercise will help you towards that goal. 

Until the next time. Blessings to you all

The key thing to remember is that Ascension is our Soul growth and in order for our Soul to grow we will be faced with many challenges from this life and past lifetimes. These challenges appear so we may learn our life lesson and to assure our Soul growth! However it does feel like we are on a perpetual merry-go-round, the same challenges just different people!

So how do we stop the cycle, get off the merry-go-round? We stop looking outside of ourselves and start to look within.

We must stop blaming the universe for our miss fortunes but thank the universe for sending the challenge along, adjust our attitude and intension around the challenge and therefore break the cycle.

For my self, I have been faced with my old nemesis of Fear/ Faith. Time and again I have in the past dived into fear based beliefs, drama and self torture, only to find my fears have been unfounded and things work out for the better. June has certainly been a month that I could have slipped into old habits, however I made the conscious choice to look for that silver lining – that ray of hope and the month seemed to end on a high note. 

When the world is in chaos, and there seems to be doon and gloom all around, finding faith that things will be okay, can be a challenge. It is also at times like these when there is so much global turmoil is the time to stop, breath and bring your focus back to self. The world is not to blame for what you are feeling only you! 

Now more than any, is a great time to really stop and open yourself up to change how you react to events and thus learn your lesson. Once you have overcome your challenge there will always be a new one but what have you learned from the past will help you push through the new lesson quickly and with less emotional upset. 

July seems to have started on a completely different footing, it feels lighter and flowing, long may it last.
