Energy – what would you do to have more of it? May 22, 2009

Spring is finally here in full force.  We’ve got cloudy and rainy days, yes, but everything is green again and the lilacs are out!  A sure sign mother nature’s arms are open and ready to embrace summer too….ah a most promising time of year….

For Canadians, surviving the long, cold, dark winter is a triumph worth celebrating on a patio the first sign of spring.  I know I slowed down this winter.  More indoor activities, long sleeps, early to bed and later to rise type days and lots of creamy hot homemade soups! 

This spring I discovered Cell Food. 

Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, and you should not act on my advice alone, but if it feels right for you to look into and seek your doctor’s advice, then by all means pursue it! 

It’s actually a series of sychronicities that brought me to owning a bottle of Cell Food and testing it out with some water one day in early May, but within 6 hours I noticed a SIGNIFICANT difference in my mood, energy level and mental capacity.  For all of you who work in an office setting, I’m sure you’re very familiar with the 3pm ‘wall’ that one hits and ponders yet another hit of caffeine to make it through the day.  I didn’t hit the ‘wall’ on day 1 and haven’t hit it since!  In fact, even my need for a second morning coffee waned.  So did my emotional appetite – you know the one – ‘I’m bored.  What’s to eat?  I don’t feel like working yet, maybe I’ll go get something.  Boy oh boy someone in the office is eating something that smells good.  Maybe I’ll go get me some!’

In fact, I’ve almost had to re-train myself to learn what my new tired is! 

I had no idea how my energy level was affecting my life, my choices, my thoughts, my actions, my perception and my reality!  It’s amazing what having the energy to take on your dreams will do for boosting those dreams!

I’m not saying that this Cell Food stuff is for everyone.  But it’s worth asking yourself, what is your Cell Food?  What rejuvenates you and helps you make the choices you want to make and take the actions you want to take?  What renews your spirit and energy and inspires you to go forward confidently in the direction of your dreams?  What actions can you take today that will help you sleep better, feel more alert, and be more excited about your life?  What’s holding you back from taking these actions or pursuing these life-giving activities?  Are you sitting in the backseat of the car of life, or are you driving with the wind in your hair and the radio blaring?

Whatever your choices and actions are today, I hope they inspire you to new levels of personal connection to the Divine.

Blessings,

Pamela

When I am 50… January 17, 2009

Came across this simple yet powerful video and decided it was a beautiful way to start sharing thoughts, dreams and perspectives on all that is yet again.

May we all take a step back from our lives and see how we make choices….then confidently, from the heart, live in peace with intention.

Namaste,

Pamela

Resistance… March 2, 2008

Let’s start with the concept that we are the Creator of all things in our lives.  That each feeling, emotion, encounter, and thought is something that we have created with our Divine Purpose in mind.  More and more lately I have struggled with powerful feelings of ‘not enough’.  I know I share this lot with many people, and that inspires me to listen to it and learn from it all that much more!  Resistance to what is creates so much unrest in our lives.  When we don’t ‘like’ feeling down, or not getting what we wanted from a situation.  That resistance is energy, our energy, and it is speaking to us with great power.  The same place where all your power comes from.  Because without judgement, power is energy and energy can feel good or feel bad, but it’s all still our energy.  Ask yourself today, the next time you feel resistance to anything in the moment, what that resistance is trying to tell you.  How can you graduate from that situation with love and joy?  How is this connected to your Divine Purpose?  Stop and listen in the moment to whatever your heart is trying to tell you and if nothing appears, be thankful for that as well.  Being ok, no matter what shows up in your life is truly the key to peace.  Sooner or later when you practice speaking with yourself about your feelings of resistance you will notice how strong your inner voice is and how much it has to tell you.  Always be patient with yourself and ask gentle questions as an observer and be grateful for whatever answer comes.  Always practice gratitude in the moment.  Because this moment is your life!

Another large source of resistance comes from past memories, or future anxieties.  I often ask myself when I’m feeling hurt by any particular situation if I remember feeling that feeling before, and when, and how does that feeling serve me now, and how I can infuse the situation where I feel hurt with love and joy.  It’s not easy, because our patterns are very strong.  Most of our core beliefs come from memories that were created before the age of 7, so if you’ve been unconsciously practicing a pattern for more than 30 years, of course one movie or one book isn’t suddenly going to remove that pattern from your life entirely.  (Or maybe that’s my judgement, and maybe it will!)  The joy truly is in the journey.  Of recognizing those patterns, being grateful for the awareness of them.  Learning from them and then consciously choosing new patterns with fresh intent.  But moving forward with goals and intent and visualization can be severely hampered if we bring the past into it all with us.  I often see people getting very excited about re-claiming their personal power, but I also feel the hurt and anger and disappointment in themselves for ever having let it go.  And they are determined that no one will take that power away from them again.  No one took it in the first place, we gave it away.  And carrying that hurt and anger into our future where we set a new intent that no one will have the ability to do it again, sends a message out to the universe that we want to keep experiencing the hurt and the anger and sure enough we will encounter situations where we feel that someone has taken something away from us again.  I see this time and again as a pattern in my life.  Do you see it in yours?  So how do we free ourselves from such a situation?  Consider for a moment where your personal power comes from?  Who are you really?  Without the job title, the relationships, or any material aspect of your life, who are you?  Really sit and ponder that for a moment.  Perhaps write a few ‘I am’ statements and see what hits the paper first….then gently take a look at them without judgement – are any of those statements of the material world?  Are any of them adjectives?  Keep revising and brainstorming until you are comfortable and confident that the statement of who you are is something that will never change, something that is constant, and something that is not of this material world.  Then meditate on how it feels to be connected to that Divine Spirit that is you.

Connect to that sense of who you truly are on a regular basis.  Touching your heart center, the top of your head, or deep breathing will usually trigger it for a lot of people.  Then when you experience resistance in your life to any situation, talk with that resistance and talk to it from that constant and very powerful source of who you truly are – which never changes and is always available to you and something that no one can alter in any way shape or form.  Perhaps the resistance, or the bad experience, is another opportunity to dialogue with who you truly are.  And to remind you that your Source has not depleted in any way, but that you have reconnected to it as a result of this experience.  Would that bring you peace and joy in a situation?  If so, then you know you are on the right path my friend.

We are all on a path….learning….growing….loving….feeling….observing….creating….but who we truly are is the constant throughout it all, and the joy in discovering that bit by bit, piece by piece, present moment to present moment, is the art of life!  I’m very excited to see that Eckhart Tolle has a new book out and that some people who participated in ‘The Secret’ have expanded upon their understanding and sharing of the Law of Attraction and developed another movie titled ‘The Opus’ coming in March 2008.  We are all expanding upon our awareness of how to navigate and there are many great tools to guide us along the way, but none so powerful as your own inner voice.

More and more I realize the value in the quiet moments of just listening….

May you listen and hear the wisdom of your heart today!

Blessings,

Pamela

Pretending… December 3, 2007

Pretending is a beautiful thing – it is the product of an active imagination. I love it when my little nephew gives us all air band instruments to play and we prance around playing our imaginary instruments and performing in our little air band. It’s jolly good fun! I’m so lucky I have a little nephew to dream up such things and remind me that I used to freely dream too. Take a moment for yourself today and really dream – really imagine some wild and outrageous possibilities! Freedom, love, health, wealth and true peace – you can dream it. So what if not so pretty alternatives are still there when you’re done your little dreaming session? In the moment that you’re dreaming, they do not exist – only your dreams do. And that moment is the present moment. And it is yours to explore any time you choose. Take the imagination a step further if you will. Imagine that all realities are imagined. That you are imagining the reality you are in right now. And in a different time/space continuum, but still in this present moment, other realities exist AT THE SAME TIME. Any reality you can imagine. So if the choice is yours to imagine, what picture did your heart create?! Did you save the world with your rockin’ ability to sing? Did you write a novel that inspired others? Did you have free time in your schedule to volunteer with the needy? Did you just sit for a moment of silence in the sun listening to the waves of the ocean in your seaside fortress? Let your imagination take you anywhere and everywhere. It’s God’s gift to you. Available all the time!

And if you’re wondering what led me to this inspiration, below is my daily dose of Notes from the Universe:

Couldn’t you just pretend with the job or occupation you now have, whether or not it even pays or is recognized by others as a job, that you’re receiving a salary of millions each year for doing it? That everyday your peers, partners, or supervisors are left in awe by how you deftly handle each challenge and setback? That there are backroom discussions going on (sh-h-h-h-h….) even as you nonchalantly read this email, about retaining you no matter how high the cost? That shareholders are beginning to whisper among themselves about your legacy, and board members are each hoping to bump into you at the water cooler? That the competition has just hired a management consultancy firm just to keep up with your innovative style?

I think you could, even if you work in your pajamas, and I’d highly recommend it. Especially the “millions each year” part.

See you in the teller line -

Unquestioned Assumptions… September 28, 2007

We all make assumptions. It’s a part of life. I’m not putting assumptions down at all, I think they are very useful to me sometimes. Usually assumptions are coupled with a splash of experience, and a dollop of hope or trust. Like how I assume that if I put my lunch in the fridge at work where 40 other people put their lunch, that it will still be there, untouched and ready for me to eat when I go back to get it at lunch!

But what about the assumptions that are not based on experience, or even coupled with hope and trust? What about the assumptions that are born out of fear, or simple acceptance? “New studies report that more than 20 minutes in the sun is bad for you and anything under SPF8 is useless to you as a sunscreen.” Suddenly we’ve got people out there who literally don’t spend more than 20 minutes in the sun and scramble to find SPF 60 to put on their skin everyday! All because a news report said so?!

Or how about the diet industry? Carbs, no carbs, all protein, no wait balanced diet, lots of water, not too much water, eggs good or bad?, and so on and so on.

Or what about that feeling you get when it’s Friday?! You are tying off your list of maybe not so exciting things you had to do this week and making plans for numero uno! That’s right, 3 whole nights and two whole days to do what you want, go where you want, see whom you want and so on. (For those who work Monday – Friday days – if you have a different schedule, then imagine the feelings that are aroused in you when you’re about to get your break of a couple days…)

I love Fridays! TGIF! There’s a light-heartedness in the air no? Most workplaces allow you to ‘dress down’ – maybe wear jeans and perhaps maybe that helps you to feel a little more like yourself instead of Mr or Mrs Suit. But who says that only Fridays are reserved for this feeling? Who told you that you must suffer 4 work days out of the week, and on the 5th you’ll have a little respite and then for two whole days you are your own!?! I mean, if we are dreaming big, if we are the masters of our own design, if we weave the story of our life into a way that allows us access to that TGIF feeling every single day of our lives, would we make the choices we are making right now? Are we just NOT QUESTIONING the assumption that it doesn’t have to be like this? Are we afraid of having the TGIF smile on all the time? What will it be like to be different? How will I feel if I do X and not Y anymore? Who will I be? How will my friends and family view me? How does that make me feel? How would I feel knowing that the best I could possibly imagine, is real in my life right now? Right now. Real, in your life, right now…

Oh there are lots of things to question…

You know that feeling you get when you’re on vacation and not just the weekend? You’re away, exploring, on an adventure, someone else is cooking your meals and cleaning your room for you, all your worries are left behind, and you have nothing in particular as a goal except to enjoy yourself, rediscover sleep, and re-fuel before going back to the grind?! Who says that feeling cannot be accessed every single day of your life, no matter where you are or what you’re doing?

I know a very special person who worked in a post-conflict country for a year and who faced life-threatening danger often, and he considered it a vacation every single day! Everyday he felt joy for seeing the ceiling when he woke up in the morning and everyday when he heard others complain about the hardships of living and working in this environment, he laughed and reminded them that he was on vacation! We can adopt any belief about life we choose my friends…and it will certainly shape the experiences you encounter…

Question some assumptions in your life today – gentle questioning that opens doors to ideas, creativity, and your Heart’s voice….

-It’s ragweed season and so I am going to have allergies. That’s an assumption no?

-Once I’ve been promoted to a certain salary level, then life will be ok for me and my loved ones.

-You’ve got to put in the time to get the dime.

-I can’t swim.

-I can’t anything…

-I should anything…

Or how about the big big big ones, that not only involve your life, but the globe and all it’s inhabitants?  How about the assumption that the ozone is depleting?  Or that there is much suffering and poverty?  Or that no matter what we do it never seems to get any better?  What happens if you lived life assuming the opposite?  What would you see?  How would you approach things?  What if the world were a place of birth and rebirth for you?  How would you feel knowing that the planet is an unlimited resource when you align with it in respect and harmony?  Would you like to connect with others who are questioning their assumptions about the world as they knew it from memory and creating a vision for how they feel about seeing it with new eyes?  Check out the Consciousness Project today then…

Enjoy the journey!

The Transformational Book Club! August 3, 2007

Anyone want to join The Transformational Book Club with me so that we can read and discuss these books? Seems like an amazing deal – although fall always gets so busy, am more tempted to join The Spiritual Cinema Circle and watch a few movies instead – hehe….

7 habits… August 3, 2007

Do you know why there are seven habits of highly effective people? Because Stephen Covey said so. That’s why. Plain and simple. He took the world as he saw it and wrote it into a book and defined seven habits of highly effective people.

We all have that power. To define our world as we see it, but even more so, as we imagine it. So what will you see and imagine today? And how will that translate into your behaviours? And how will you ‘write your book’ today? Express yourself, the world needs to hear your voice too.

Light,

Pamela

Gregg Braden – The Divine Matrix July 30, 2007

Ah the internet – what a lovely resource…

Check out the ideas behind the work of Gregg Braden, author of such thought-producing books as The Divine Matrix, The Isaiah Effect, The God Code. He also holds workshops and such around the world to help us all understand what is happening in the world today.

This 10 minute clip will truly awaken a sense of what is out there, and what is inside as well. Grab a tea and sit back and enjoy! Although this is part III, you could look up the other parts on youtube if you like, but I found this one quite interesting, so I thought I would share…

The Tipping Point! July 30, 2007

I feel like a one-sided book club sometimes! If anyone else is interested in starting a virtual bookclub for the fall, let me know. I would love to delve into books and then share ideas, impressions and feelings about what we’ve read as a group – and boy oh boy do I have some interesting suggestions for a fall reading list! www.freeteleconference.com hands out free US telephone numbers to use as teleconference calls too – if you want to meet up by telephone. But I digress…

I read The Tipping Point this weekend – a great little book by Gladwell – the author of Blink!. It discusses what causes movements, be they in sales, marketing, epidemics of disease etc. Some great stats and stories to back things up, but all done in a manner that anyone can read and understand. It makes a lot of sense too. If you run your own business, or are thinking about it, or very passionate about the business you work for, this book has some insights for you! Are you a Maven? A Connector? A Salesman? Do you know of any in your life?

In this day and age of so many media vehicles and messages, we are constantly confused and overwhelmed with all that is out there – which is more than enough to fill a few lifetimes, no?! That’s why we turn to our peers and people we trust for information and direction. Do you buy a car without asking friends and family what they have liked/disliked about their own vehicle purchases in the past? And we all know someone who knows a lot about cars, and for sure we are going to ask that person before we dive in to a $20,000 purchase or more.

It’s interesting to learn more about ourselves, peeling off more layers of the onion so to speak. A great weekend read. I highly recommend it!

Fire the grid! July 17, 2007

I was on an amazing teleconference last night, and when the website and project is up and running I am so excited to share it with everyone! In the meantime, there are some amazing projects afoot that I wanted to share with you all so that you too can experience a sense of peace, a sense of togetherness, a sense of healing. It really is already there for all of us, and connecting to what is, in this present moment, is a beautiful gift we have all been given. Imagine if all the problems in your life right now, are there only because you perceive them to be there. And in perceiving them to be there, you unconsciously keep them in your life, until such time when you are able to imagine that that problem is no longer there. That is why I love present moment awareness and really enjoyed reading ‘The Power of Now’. If you truly stop and quiet your mind and all the 60,000 thoughts that course through it on a daily basis, even for a moment, in that moment, is true peace and love. Nothing else. Everything exists, but it just exists, it does not present you with any requirement to action in that moment, other than to observe it from your place of peace and love. What a beautiful gift to have and to share. Then take that gift of imagination from peace and love, and join with millions of others around the globe who are also experiencing it – at the same time, although time is a concept in our minds as well.

Here is a grass roots project by one lady who had a life changing experience and discovered some beautiful truths and is sharing them with the world: www.firethegrid.com Even though 11:11GMT has already passed us by today, allow yourself to feel as though it is has not. That you are joining millions and millions around the world in a common prayer to mother earth. Imagine if for a moment, that the problems we perceive in the WORLD are also there because we observe them, and that the same healing power we each possess is alive and well in mother earth too, and millions are connecting to it. Imagine if you spent an hour in peace and love and imagined better than the best your mind will think possible for mother earth, here in this moment. May you feel the power of the wave overcome you with joy as a new understanding is upon us all.

Peace and Blessings,

Pamela

Thank you! June 19, 2007

Imagine for a moment if you were to notice in the moment you were feeling other than peace, exactly the emotion, and what triggered it, and then in the next moment you were able to thank your inner self for showing you the next layer of the onion to peel off?!  If someone says something that upsets you, then you know right away that you are experiencing a limiting belief associated with that feeling and you can tap away (see EFT tapping in “Grab a Coffee”) or write in your journal, reframe it, or meditate on it for a bit and find peace with it.  Whatever your style – whatever works for you, but you have it within you to do it, are you aware of that?  You don’t have to replay painful situations over and over and over again – you are only a victim as long as you choose to be.  Hard words to hear sometimes, but great power in them, because there is such great power in each one of us!  Let your light shine today. 

Limiting Beliefs June 11, 2007

Beliefs are something we carry deep inside of our souls, and they are formed at a very young age, but they shape what manifests in our lives today. Have you ever considered delving in to what your beliefs may be? Finish the following sentences with whatever comes to mind first:

“Money doesn’t grow on…”

“A penny for your…”

“It takes money to make…”

“Success doesn’t happen…”

Now how do you think your answers to the above are shaping your life? Consider re-framing those standard sayings with a flood of positivity that makes sense to you and see if you can come up with that line first when you see these statements again.

Embrace the beliefs you hold, because they have kept you safe and have brought you to where you’re at today – but if you’d like to go somewhere else, then thank those beliefs and let them go and embrace new ones on a frequent basis.

May abundance overwhelm you today and always.

Disclaimers June 11, 2007

I was just pondering today the idea of disclaimers – and I have no idea why to be honest…

But have you ever found your blood pressure rising the moment someone says – ‘no offense’ or ‘with all due respect’?  How is it that we feel it is okay to say whatever we want as long as we put in some sort of polite disclaimer that lets the person(s) listening know that they are not supposed to take offense or feel disrespected by whatever we say?  I mean, if you feel that strongly about saying something should you not also be willing to accept the consequences of how others react to it and allow them whatever reaction they choose???  The disclaimer seems to me to be more for the person saying it – to make them feel better and not the other person.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this…
