Shifting from Fear to Faith in the Midst of Adversity

Reading Time: 3 minutes Shifting from Fear to Faith in the Midst of Adversity In a private FB group to which I belong I was deeply moved by a woman going through so many problems compiled by environmental disasters and tipped by the troublesome political climate to the point that –even when she had great faith, a faith I could feel deep in her core—she was feeling desperate, fragmented and gripped by fear for herself, her family and her community. Let us call her Mary. If you are going through multiple problems while feeling the pressure of these scary, troubled times getting to you so that you are losing your center of serenity, this is for you with love. ~~~~ Beautiful Mary, I feel the fear in you and I feel the faith in you. I send a prayer for you to shift from fear to faith with ease and grace. As I hear you describing what is going on in your life –the adversity, disease, financial insecurity, compiled with environmental disasters in your region and overwhelming political transgressions to our democracy, I see [Read more.]

Fear: the enemy of self-love

Reading Time: 2 minutes What is the greatest enemy of self-love? FEAR! Fear constricts your mind and energy field. Seriously!As a shaman, I can tell when a person is experiencing fear because the energy field contracts to about 3 inches from the physical body. But not only that; it becomes more solid and looks like a tomb. Not a pretty image, but one that gets the message across. Fear can kill you! Actually, in the Spiritual Warrior shamanic tradition it is said that it IS fear that often kills you, not a dangerous situation. Fear kills you because it closes off your vast repertoire of alternatives, creativity, courage and spiritual protection. Fear often leads to low self-esteem, stress and stress-related diseases and accidents. Literally speaking, fear makes you stupid! I mean it. It closes off your cellular receptors to the external environment and reduces your brain activity, so that all your energy is booked to your fight or flight response. If the threat is not real, what a waste of energy! If it is, being stupid is not the best way to face it. [Read more.]

There are no Small Choices in Life

Reading Time: 6 minutes Life offers you millions of opportunities to grow. When you reject these opportunities you make choices that are Capitulations. These Capitulations build up massive restrictions that eventually limit your potential. The Fork on the Road Life offers you millions of opportunities to grow your potential, express your Unique Essence, live out your Life Purpose and create the quality of life that your Soul desires.  Most opportunities, however do not come with a large tag saying I’m an opportunity. Take me!” Quite the contrary is often true. These opportunities often come in the guise of tough decisions, problems to be solved, scary challenges and change. When you meet one of these undercover opportunities you are standing on a fork in the road of your life. On one side of the fork stands the Worn-out Road, the easy, familiar road of your past. It is narrow with learned limitations and limiting roles. But it feels safe because it’s a known. Your logical mind only recognizes as true what it knows from the past; so this road feels real. On the other side [Read more.]

Love, Joy and Imagination Reduce Stress in Problem Solving

Reading Time: 6 minutes Learn how love, joy and imagination reduce the stress in problem solving. When you get scared, your logical mind wants to take over in order to make sense of chaos. You stress yourself in an attempt to control life. There is an easier path. Love, joy and imagination allow you to respond to difficult challenges with the tools to thrive and the alchemy to transmute limitations into mastery. So life has dealt you an unexpected bad hand of cards. You are diagnosed with a serious disease. Your elder parent shows signs of dementia. Your daughter is pregnant out of wedlock. Your son drops out of high school. This is not what you had planned. Your mind immediately labels these unexpected events as bad. Now you are scared. Bad things are scary. The unknown is scary. When we are scared, our logical mind wants to take over in order to make sense of chaos. We have been trained to use logic in order to solve problems. Having diagnosed the event as a problem, you summon your logical mind to solve this [Read more.]

2012: Is it the end of the world?

Reading Time: 2 minutes People see what happens in Japan and cry: “The Mayan Prophecies are real! 2012 is the end of the world!” Panic spreads in social media. This is fear talking, not Mayan wisdom. 2012 is not the end of the world. It is the time to come home. I am writing this series of posts in response to the fear that is spreading in social media and across the USA, perhaps across the world, as a result of the earthquake in Japan and the Pacific Tsunami and the resulting nuclear disaster. There are a lot of people now connecting these disasters and those of the last years with the Mayan Prophecies about 2012 and believing that this means the end of the world. I am a shaman and Spiritual Teacher with a  long Spiritual Practice. I do not call myself an expert in Mayan Prophecies, but I have listened to the Mayan and Native elders and to my Spirit Guides, as well as to my own self-wisdom. As a Peacekeeper and a Rose Warrior, I am here to help dispel fear [Read more.]
