Lesson 74: Be With Your Things

Today is all about sitting with your items that haven’t been used for a while and allow all the sensations to arise without judgement. If there is too much “weather”, stop the exercise and go do something that feels good instead. You can sit with as little or as many items as you want – a photograph, a ring your mother gave you, some clothes, stationary, but whatever it is, see what comes about.

I am sit sitting with some stationary. They sit in a bag and I am pretty sure they are from over 10 years ago. I used to like to write letters to friends or write in notebooks and adopt a lot of colourful pens. They made me feel happy at the time but now I don’t see any practicality to them. They are childish and I used to hold onto things because they were “mine”. I had this really obsessive way of owning my things and this continued into adulthood. I definitely want to give them away, but I haven’t had time really going through my clutter recently. I’ve pretty much tried clearing thoughts. I’m fairly neutral towards these items as they don’t serve me and they will go towards good use by some teenager out there when I donate them. Fairly simple exercise today.

Day 73 - A Year to Clear - Tune Into Things

Lesson 73: Tune Into Things

Today is all about tuning into possessions that you hold. Does thinking about them or holding them just don’t have the same feeling you once had towards it. This can be anything from a ring your mother gave you, maybe a photo with old friends, that birthday present you got when you were 18. Whatever it is, you will feel some good feelings or maybe some discomfort.

Today I am to tune into a physical item and see how it makes me feel without judging whether it’s good or bad.

I know I have some items from my ex that I still have but not on display. I am still contending whether it’s worth keeping for the memory or not, or do I just let the past die. I like looking at this canvas he made me with some fun memories we had on it together. I feel good towards how I felt in those moments, but then looking at him, I obviously have ill feelings towards him. In regards to the item itself, I don’t really judge it as good nor bad. It’s why I find it hard to get rid of as it’s kind of neutral. I don’t place it on display and I never would again, so I’m not sure if keeping it actually is worth it? I guess I keep it around because it was heartfelt at the time and that’s always a good thing but the question still remains of, should I really keep it though?

Day 73 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - Fear and Joy

Lesson 73: We All Will Have Fear and Joy...

Everything we experience go through cycles. We love and we hurt, we feel joy and feel pain. We truly find that we awaken when we can open ourselves to the first passage of the heart which is pain and raise our consciousness towards it.

Today is all about how we can become whole as we become more awake. If you aren’t awakened, why do you think that is? If you are think about how you did it.

I feel like a broken record but I truly felt awakened when I was angrily asking the Universe what the point of everything was when I just had an abortion. I think that was my lowest point and when I got answered by the Universe as it sent two angel fish my way, I knew there was something bigger than me and my life really changed. I have been working through my pain ever since. Not just in relation to that abortion but all past memories, toxic relationships, habits and trauma. It’s still a working progress. I don’t think I am whole yet but I am certainly on my way. I think when you can recognise your pain and actually become aware that you need to work through it, that’s when you really open yourself. Yes, it can definitely be a tough ride as you face some truths but it’s worth it for overall sense of wellbeing. I feel like when I can conquer even my lowest of lows, it shows that I can do just about anything!

Day 72 - A Year to Clear - 5 Simple Truths About Energy

Lesson 72: 5 Simple Truths About Energy

“• We are energy beings.
• As energy beings, we are connected to everything and everyone. There is no separation.
• Fear and attachment vibrates at a lower frequency than love and joy.
• Limiting beliefs and negative emotions can stick to things, people, and spaces.
• Not everything we feel is ours.”

— Stephanie Bennett Vogt

So, after years in the business, Stephanie has created 5 simple truths for clearing. I have to think about what really grabbed my attention.

I think they are all very good truths. I have talked about we can be the limiting factor in our lives and if we continue to have such narrow-minded views on ourselves, then that mentality will really drag us down in life. I don’t ever want to look back having not really tried every creative idea I’ve had. I may be into my 34th year, but I know I have so much to achieve.

I truly believe that not everything we feel is ours. I know when I’m at work, and people are hostile towards each other, I can really absorb all that anger. Sometimes I have to leave to take a walk because that energy is in the air. It really impacts my body physically – almost like a wave has hit me and I feel that anger flowing through me. A lot of empaths would truly know what I’m talking about. It’s an odd feeling but it does happen.

I truly believe we are all beings that are connected to each other. When I discovered sacred geometry, that really changed the perspective I had on life and all living things. That truly down to our make-up, we are all connected. Look it up and it might change your life.
 

Fear and attachment vibrating lower than love and joy was something I was thinking about. The way I was thinking about it was, do people with irrational fears and over attachment actually have those vibrating higher than love and joy? I am not sure why my head went there but it was more like a question I need answered. I get that pure love and joy is like the most uplifting feeling but I was honestly just thinking, what if people are so lost in fear and attachment so that’s all they know? Could fear and attachment actually equal love and joy or even surpass it? I am in an odd thinking mood tonight.

Anyway, how do you resonate with those 5 simple truths?

Day 72 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - The First Passage of the Heart...

Lesson 72: The First Passage of the Heart...

So, today is about going back to the first passage of the heart which is pain. We tend to distract ourselves from really exploring this passage of the heart, and understandably so. If we don’t truly deal with our pain, it doesn’t allow our hearts to be open to receive. We can all work through our pain if we just allow the love and light in.

Today is all about thinking about what personal catastrophe, tragedy, personal chaos etc you’ve experienced lately and in what they have truly taught you about yourself. How have these experiences been a gift towards you? If you feel you’ve already passed through the passage of pain, just recognise where you are and appreciate the moment you truly surpassed your pain.

Right now, I don’t feel like I’ve been through a recent situation to have me feeling pain. If I’m thinking about where I am in life right now, my life has been going pretty good in comparison to last year. I think I still have lifelong pain that I hope to resolve soon via hypnotherapy. What I am still experiencing is chaos at work. With no real direction and manager from a recent restructure, I am still waiting for this to be implemented and have been in limbo for nearly 4 months now. I cannot deal with this type of environment. I need busy and a bit of stress to truly feel like my contribution to the company means something.

What I am learning is a decent amount of patience or lack thereof on my part. I am trying to overcome it but it just gets to me some days. I need answers and I need them now! I don’t like the thought of not knowing the status of my job and where it’s going. This experience just reinforces the fact that I value structure and a method of doing things. I think when everything is in order, it makes for a productive environment when it comes to work. If anything, this experience has highlighted the strong features I have in myself. I guess if I’m looking at this from passage of the heart, then this pain point does show that I can get through anything, even when my patience is pushed. So, I should really hold onto these characteristics to combat other situations.
