Lesson 79: Weather Maps

Today is about noticing the different spaces within your home and workplace. How do they feel? What do you notice about yourself in the different spaces and does certain areas cause you discomfort and are there places that make you feel quite relaxed. Do you notice the weather of these spaces?

My work space is good when the sun shines. I chose a seat next to the window I could see the outside world but also get a lift from the sun. It’s really quite refreshing as I’ve never really had a window seat until now. It’s also good to close my eyes and meditate at my desk sometimes. My work environment is quite varied. If there is tension in the air, you can feel it. I try to avoid those moments where I feel uncomfortable from the emotions or feelings of others.

Inside my home I still need some work. I have yet to create a space I fully feel comfortable in. that’s not to say that I can’t relax but I am still trying to make it fit to me. I’m like halfway there. Lots of stuff that needs to be released and I want to bring in plants to bring some extra peace to my home. I can’t wait to have a week off to just really switch off from the world and work on the look of my home more. This is coming up soon and I’ll be so relaxed and relieved to do this. Got to get some inspiration going within my home so it’s something I look forward to as well.

Lesson 78: The Pain State Often Takes Months...

Pain is not necessarily an overnight occurrence. It can take weeks, months or years. I know this all too well with my pain lasting years but I feel like I’ve gotten to a point to truly let it go. What’s done is done and it’s time to move forward. It’s through this passage where we really learn – sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. No matter the progress, we still learn each part of the way.

Today is all about asking yourself if you’re tired of your pain and are you ready to move onwards? You can ask the Divine today to speed up your healing process if you need to. I personally am going to a hypnotherapist to help with some past trauma that I have held onto for years. This includes stuff from childhood. I could have easily worked through this on my own because I am so much self-aware now and on my spiritual journey, though I feel like I need a little bit of help given some memories are from over 20 years ago. Some parts of my life, I’ve worked through things and learned to accept them, really letting them go. That’s not to say I wouldn’t have been able to do them on my own, but I do want to speed up the process. I hope my hypnotherapy goes well and I can continue living as the beautiful self that I am.

Day 78 - A Year to Clear - Connect With Home

Lesson 78: Connect With Home

A new week equals a new theme – “Connecting With Home”.

What do us humans react really well towards? Love! So with this week’s theme, it’s to take a moment to think about our homes are exactly like us humans. When it receives love, it feels good and therefore you feel good. I think if we make a space that’s true in our own best interests, then we feel really comfortable, happy, calm and relaxed in our home. I know for me, I still have some work to do to create my happy home. Some things take time, some things take money, but eventually, I will achieve it. Could take me some time but I have the vision, and I will get there slowly. No rush. I feel like when I get there, it will be oh so satisfying.

Lesson 77: Check In WEEK 11 - Sensing Energies

Today is a weekly check in of the past week. It was really much a state of seeing how energy flowed and it’s impact. I sat with an object and was fairly neutral towards it. I don’t feel good or bad about it but I am finding that’s how I am towards most objects. I usually have a good attached memory and it’s more about whether I want to part with it or not. I tend to find a lot of objects tend to fill up space when I can just open that space up. I don’t usually have this impulse that others may have to get rid of something. If anything, this course is really cementing the idea of slowing down and really taking on compassion towards yourself and your items and thoughts. I think my space is pretty good and don’t feel negative towards it in any way. I think if you do feel some off feeling, it’s really about digging deep to find out why that is. No judgement, just find the root cause and have compassion towards yourself.

Day 77 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - You are Not Alone

Lesson 77: To Recognize That You Are Not Alone...

Today is all about recognising that you are not alone in your pain. Walk around, choose a spot where there are other people around and watch their distractions. Pain is experienced by everyone. To recognise that as a collective we all share or feel pain.

I personally see people putting on brave faces for the sake of others. I know I have done it and I see it now. Whether it’s just a coping mechanism or we generally do not want to tell people our problems, we hide behind those masks. Maybe we should talk about it more, so then we see or experience for ourselves, we are better equipped with dealing with it. We should be able to talk freely without judgement but that isn’t always the case for a lot of people. I know that I am definitely not alone in pain but I’ve never really sat and observed others in this way. It is amazing what having a bit more awareness can do for you. I always tell myself not to take on other people’s problems though – just listen, try and be there for that person and give advice if you have anything helpful and constructive.

We are all one in pain though we also all have the ability to move through that pain.
