The Intricate Past #livinginthepast #yournewstory #Spirituality #now


Remembering the old story about Lot’s wife, I imagined turning into a pillar of salt about a million times for looking at, mulling over, rewriting, and sifting over the DEVISIVE PAST. Why can’t we just let go of the past like two ducks squabbling on a peaceful lake? A second later, they float away gracefully, never looking back.
Getting over the past is an intricate problem most of us continue to battle. The problem with NOT getting over the past is that we waste so much time angry, in our depressed minds, and simply not being open to the awesomeness that COULD BE if we would just open our hearts, minds, and specifically our eyes to the present.
As a life coach, I often see how the past can stymie and stop someone cold in his or her tracks—just as that pillar of salt—unable to move forward with any strength or direction. How do we overcome what should be the simplest task: releasing and letting go?
We think of our mind often as our physical brain. This is an incorrect thought. The brain is a measurable physical organ. The mind is immeasurable.
The mind can stay encapsulated in the body, stuck in the never-ending stream of stories from the past. It has another option. The mind can climb on to a bridge above the stream of stories and simply observe. This observer mind is accessed through self-inquiry, silence, and listening to your own thoughts without judgment.
When we can become advanced enough in our own self-discovery, we learn to access the most important part of the mind that will lead us out of the past and into peace.
My own journey of recognizing how the past and my past stories have overwhelmed my life and took over my mind like a fast growing cancer is completely documented in my latest book, “Your New Story, Your New Life.”  The key to the change is in the book’s subtitle: The Metaphysical Mind.

The Prisoner of the Past #releasethepast #spiritualadvice #personalpower #newthought

I watched the sunrise at the beach. Immediately I recognized a brand new day arising in my soul. Soft pastels of blues, pinks and yellows mused with the ocean’s tide, so close I could touch it. The amazing then happened. A new world sloped downward and opened a pathway for me to enter. The heavens were mine for a moment.
What I speak about is a gift for anyone who wants to share in the magnificence of creation. You don’t have to be spiritual to observe the powerful thrust of ocean meets new day. You do, however, have to open your heart to the experience, to the present, to the now.
More and more I am tempted to leave my cell phone, camera and past behind to experience the moment. Too often I reach forward toward a moment, only to plan for its capture for Facebook or Instagram. I realized this morning that I could never really capture any feeling.
I certainly couldn’t take a picture of beauty. I could, perhaps, snap a photo of the eyes of someone gazing at the same love I perceived as the bright orange sun snuck up so quickly and effortlessly. Had I closed my eyes for five minutes, I would have missed the entire event.
During the moments just prior to the sun showing itself to the world, I began to feel the pulse of life surging through me. It was as if my body had to begin to move. I started stretching and doing yoga moves that mirrored the waking of the world, my feet wet in the sand and body merging with the earth. I finally understood a sun salutation. As I left the past behind, I walked into the present moment and let it impress upon me its entirety.
When you allow yourself into the perfect moment of the now, you don’t have to forget about the past. There is no past in the authentic present. Today, put away your devices and let go of the idea that every moment has to be for something in the future. You are missing the precious feeling of the now.

THE INNER BRAT: an unbalanced ego #egobalancing #spirituality #spiritualadvice #healthyego

If you have been following the last few blogs, I have been writing about the Ego. We have decided that the ego can be either healthy or unhealthy, balanced or imbalanced. One sign of an unhealthy ego is what the author and speaker, Christian de la Huerta calls “the inner brat.” I have called it in my writing the “inner child who always gets its way.”
You can recognize this part of your ego or in another person quite easily because it appears like the scenario below:
Child: “Mommy, mommy, I want this toy. Please mommy!”
Mother: “You have enough toys. Play with the ones you have already!”
Child: Begins to whimper. “But I want Thomas the Train.”
Mother: “Sorry, not today.” She speaks quietly because they are in Macys.
Child: Crying now. Sits in the middle of the department store floor and won’t budge.
Mother: Tries to get the child to come with her, nicely.
Child: Resists. Begins to rant. “I want Thomas the train now! I want Thomas the train! Thomas! Thomas! Thomas!”
Mother: Now embarrassed because the child is acting out in a large crowd, takes the toy from the shelf and shoves it in the child’s hand.
Child: Immediately stops crying and smirks…
When a child consistently gets what he or she wants, that child learns to control people by bad behavior. The parent loses control. Every in the room becomes controlled by this bad behavior.
That same child can exist in all of us. For those of us who have not dealt with that imbalance in our lives, we may still have that “inner brat” that won’t accept no for an answer from anyone. When we accept this imbalance as this is just me and I can’t help it, then we admit we have no control over ourselves. We may have learned to control others. But, what is more important: self-control, or the ability to manipulate others?
If you experience this feeling about to erupt, you can do yourself a big favor by stepping back from the situation and asking yourself a few probing questions:
  1. What am I missing here?
  2. Is there a delicate lesson to be learned by me not getting what I want?
  3. What will I be if I let go of this feeling?
Of course, you cannot get to this problem if your pulse is pounding out of your chest and your face is flushed. Before you ask the questions, you must take consistent breaths, with your inhales and exhales equal in length and longer than normal. This, of course, will lower your blood pressure and move your body toward a calmer state, so that you can adjust your mental state to more of an observer than one who is actively in the problem and unable to solve anything.
The “inner brat” can be a challenging imbalance, especially if you have allowed it to exist in your for a long time. When I child gets what he or she wants, it only satisfies that current need. Begin to realize that getting what you want right now, in this moment, may be satisfying, but it never challenges you to become a better, more balanced person. The child never learns his lesson that not everything in life is meant for us at any given moment.
Ask yourself this important question: Do you want to appear to your friends and family as that child in Macy’s? If you don’t, begin the process of letting go of the need to control everyone and get everything you desire in the moment you desire it.
Life comes to all of us as we accept the present as the perfect moment, in the perfect time, as peace and love.

You Are the Face of God #truth #spirituality #faceofgod #spiritualadvice #spiritualreality

If your prayer is to walk on the pathway toward peace, then ultimately you will want to be a human conduit of Spirit’s incredible nature flowing through you, as you, in every moment of every day. As you acquiesce to this Divine flow of energy, you become like the Divine, i.e. having the face of God.
In one of the dreams of Ezekiel in the Bible, he has a vision of God having four faces:
Each had the face of a human being, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. (Ezekiel 1:10)
I believe this was a metaphor that God has many faces, each embracing the multiple attributes of humankind and, also, our animal friends. Ezekiel imagined God as a compassionate human, having the strength of an ox, the fierceness of a lion, and the ability to fly and soar high like an eagle, able to see in an omniscient way. All of these attributes are within us as we allow Spirit to encourage each of our steps, every moment of each day.
Some would think this is an impossible feat. But, you may also think that the Apostle Paul’s suggestion of taking each thought into captivity is also improbable. Trust me, this is not easy, but it can be done.
I do it on a daily basis. Sometimes, I have to backpedal a bit to be the observer, but I do find that each thought is very calculated. Every thought comes from either an old trigger, some kind inspiration, or a desire or need.
Living in the present moment, believing that all is happening for the grand purpose of your growth and the growth of all humanity is the only way to find peace in each moment. This also begins with finding that inherent place in your mind that can actually observe everything you do and step away from it occasionally to evaluate and learn from your own humanity.

What Is PTG? #posttraumaticgrowth #PTSD #Scienceofmind #psychology #spiritualadvice

Most people have heard of—or experienced—PTSD: Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. A simple definition of PTSD would be a traumatic incident that happened during one’s childhood or life, may inhibit psychological growth and often causes severe depression, especially when triggered with a similar situation.
PTG, however, is positive change experienced as a result of the struggle with a major life crisis or a traumatic event. Although the University of North Carolina at Charlotte has recently coined the term posttraumatic growth, the idea that human beings can be changed by their encounters with life challenges—sometimes in radically positive ways—is not new. In fact, these kinds of positive changes have been tracked for years.
Posttraumatic growth tends to occur in five general areas. Sometimes people who face major life crises:
  1. Could develop a sense that new opportunities have emerged from the struggle, opening up possibilities that were not present before;
  2. Experience a change in relationships with others. They can also experience an increased sense of connection to others who have suffered in a similar way;
  3. May have an increased sense of their own strength;
  4. Develop a greater appreciation for life in general; and
  5. Some individuals experience a deepening of their spiritual lives, often involving a significant change in their belief system. This is the part of the study that has been monitored for quite some time. In fact, it has been discussed in psychological circles that any kind of spirituality often can help heal and sometimes lessen the impact of a tragic event, even to the point of helping encourage a person to overcome obstacles to become a powerful influence in the world. Most motivational speakers have lived through PTSD to tell about it and help encourage other people to look for their greatness within.
NOTE: This study does not by any means suggest that some one who has grown as a result of struggle will not at some point still struggle with PTSD. This study also does not suggest that pain or trauma of any kind is a good thing.
Ultimately, this new idea or coined phrase, PTG, a good thing. I believe we can always look for the rainbow after the storm. In particular, when something presumed negative happens to me, I always ask how I can get out of the way of the pain to see the lesson that I need to learn.
The difference for me as a spiritually evolving human being is that I now believe that EVERYTHING happens for a reason. And the likelihood of me looking for that reason, even in the midst of the difficulty, is in all actuality why I heal faster and have a more positive attitude about life in general.

Finding Authentic You #authenticity #love #spiritualadvice #livingtruth

Living an authentic life takes practice, mostly because we all have learned to live according to the ideas and social etiquette of the world. Finding what you really feel can often take silence and peaceful moments to go inside and discover the real you. This is the reason I suggest practice, even though in most cases you would think true authenticity would actually sound like a contraindication to contemplation. In all actuality, finding your authentic self comes from asking yourself the hard questions—the ones that take time and thought to answer. The questions I recommend are below:
  1. What’s happening here? What am I really feeling?
  2. What can I do to get my ego out of the way for this lesson to come forth in my life?
  3. Is there a greater good that could be happening here that I cannot see?
You might look at these questions and think that they seem simple. But, when you apply them to a painful experience, you may feel otherwise. For instance, you may wake up one day feeling that you have found the love of your life or the perfect job. By the end of the day, the relationship or job has all but disintegrated. You step slowly away from the point of change and wonder how life could have transformed so much in so little time. This is the moment for the practice of authenticity.
The last time this kind of changing event happened to me, my man friend had told me he loved me. One week later, when I was on top of the world, he told me that he wanted to also begin seeing other people. Of course, that was not fine with me, and I broke up with him.
On the way home from his house, I had to ask myself the questions above, talking to myself as if I were a wise counselor who understood the truth and was sharing it with my human ego. I felt as far away from God as I could have ever felt in that moment. However, by the time I reached my own home, I experienced peace—something completely different. This is what I did to achieve the change.
I asked myself the first questions. What am I feeling? What is happening here? To answer authentically, I had to know my truth. I had to understand that I was one with the Eternal Spirit that had created me and, also, created my man friend (that was the difficult part). We each were learning specific lessons. I didn’t know what Luis was learning, but I could be certain that if I opened my mind, I would discover what I was to learn, as I got out of the way of my own ego emotions.
I realized that what was coming up for me was rejection. I ultimately felt: not good enough, handsome enough, buff enough to keep a good man. But, when I began to share the truth about Who I Am with myself, I realized that if I am made of God, and Luis is made of God; we ultimately could not be rejecting each other, because cannot reject God. If we were not rejecting each other, then we were in each other’s life to teach each other a lesson. What was that lesson?
I focused in on that very thing for the rest of the evening. Interestingly, I did not shed one tear during the process. I knew inside that my life would be just fine without him. I was more angry at his choice than sad about my life. I felt deceived and rightfully so. But, what Luis did was not my concern. What I felt, what I believed, what I would do with the situation was all mine with which to grow. And grow is exactly what I did.
So, today, your lesson is to look for the good in all situations. Ask yourself the three questions above and listen in the silence for the answers. Your entire life will change as you implement this process of self-talk.

Precrastination: Is It Worse than Procrastination? #precrastination #procrastination #guilt #spirituality #SOM #cognitiveprocess

The very new term coined by Pennsylvania State psychologists from a study published in Psychological Science defines precrastination as the tendency to complete or at least begin tasks as soon as possible, even at the expense of extra physical effort. The Precrastinator will quickly empty the dishwasher and throw all of the Tupperware lids in a cupboard, causing an avalanche of lids and bowls to fall to the floor as the first person opens the cupboard door. Won’t this cause more work later? Or, the precrastinator may park in the first spot that she sees, even if it is far away from her destiny, only to cause her to have to walk farther each way? These kinds of behaviors would fit under the new psychological category as Precrastination.
Familiar adages also warn of the hazards of precrastinating:
  • Measure twice, cut once.
  • Marry in haste, repent at leisure.
  • Look before you leap.
I would add, by doing a task right away, you don’t have to remember to do it later, such as bill paying. I know, as soon as I get my mail, I put bills directly into my banking Bill Pay function the day I receive them, so I can shred the bill and get it off of my desk. I like a clean desk, my list of to-do’s checked off, and do not like the idea of any job or chore looming over my head. Yes, I suppose, I am a precrastinator.
Yikes. I don’t know if I like this term, right now. I certainly know I have never been a procrastinator, which is a person who delays or postpones an action for various psychological reasons. If you are procrastinator, you know why you wait to finish things. I have had clients who are afraid to put the final period on anything because they are perfectionists and afraid to be incorrect. Some clients just do not have a good perception of how long any activity takes. And others like the control procrastination has over others, when the task involves getting something done for another person, such as a partner or spouse.
Studies would show that the reason I precrastinate is because of reward! I get a sense of great satisfaction from doing the chore and getting it over with, so I don’t have to leave it on my metaphorical plate for later. When, though, can this behavior be detrimental? This is the big question for psychologists.
I’ll give you an example in my own life when I’ve had to work against my desire to get something done quickly. Sometimes, I will have the need to complete a task before, organically, it is ready to be done. For instance, let’s say that I am working on a new book. Knowing that the editorial process can be quite daunting, I might hire two editors and also edit the book myself. So, when I get all of the edits back from the editors, I make one clean sweep of the book and assume it’s done.
However, the better choice would be to set the book aside for a week or two and reread it with the new edits to make sure that the edits had achieved the right resolve. In the past I have been quick to get the job done and have been left with more errors than expected and have had to delay publishing because of my Precrastination.
Can you find places in your life where you are too quick to get something done, only for you to open the metaphoric cupboard door and have an avalanche of stuff fall to the floor?
Maybe it’s time we precrastinators take a little more organic time to complete the said tasks and stay in the NOW as we do these chores. Each task can be a pleasure when you fully immerse yourself into the process, instead of just doing something to accomplish it. Where is the true gain in completing something half-ars?
