The art of living⊠is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive.
We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to move through our tragedies and challenges and to help each other move through the many painful episodes of our lives. By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our own transformation. We overlook the greater gifts inherent in our wounds â the strength to overcome them and the lessons that we are meant to receive through them. Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise.

Speak your truth
Have you ever been at that place of knowing with every fibre of your being that you are enmeshed in a situation that doesnât honour your spirit? And you canât see how to create your exit in such a way that deep, healing, new, fun, meaningful and validating experiences can come in?
At times like that your communication with yourself can seem muffled to the extent that it can feel like you are in an energetic fog. In this fog it is difficult to hear and really step into your wisdom and truth, to see your options and know precisely what it is you need to do to navigate your way out of it.
You may not have necessarily thought about it in these terms before, but as a Spirit, at times like this, what you are really after is a quantum leap in your self-awareness, ability to see yourself, capture and become the vibration of a new and relatively less encumbered you.
Becoming aware of this â your desired quantum leap enables you to cut your way through the fog, sometimes on your own, at other times with others you âcoincidentallyâ encounter because on some level you intuitively sense they can help.
Additionally, the more consciously you can allow yourself to become aware of your desired quantum leap, the more you can begin to acknowledge your truth â your inner wisdom, desires and needs that resonate with you on the most core, fundamental levels of your awareness and being.
Once you allow yourself to stand in the energy of your Truth, no matter how naked and vulnerable you feel (in comparison to the relative safety of the life situation that keeps you safe yes, but also stuck!) It can become addictive. You find yourself wanting to do it more and more because it makes you feel aligned. Your body and being begin to recall the primordial energy of limitless possibilities available to you as it now searches for a more conscious form of creative expression.
Immersed in that new space now, you begin not only to hear your deepest wants and needs, but you begin to dare to imagine the possibilities. Even if you feel uncertain and fearful, you begin ever so slightly to allow yourself to become excited because you sense there is a whole other outcome that is possible for you â an outcome outside of the limiting one that you have grown so accustomed to.
How do you begin to honour this âwell of wisdomâ and truth bubbling within your depths? The answer is simple.
You speak your truth.
Yes, there is fear but you feel the fear and do it anyway! Why? Because when you speak your truth, you unwittingly give your entire body and being permission to energetically shift.
In this way you also begin shifting your relationships, not only to the situations that kept you stuck but to the people and unconscious dynamics that formerly âheldâ you in that space or role.
People will sometimes struggle to make sense of your seemingly new-found convictions. This is simply a reflection of your reality and truth beginning to shift away from the pre-defined limits and roles you â and they â unwittingly accepted because you felt you had no other choice.
Never underestimate the sheer magnificence, beauty and wisdom inherent in your spiritual self. Being able to speak your truth is synonymous with trusting yourself and your ability to continually evolve, heal and grow. It is the same as knowing that all is right in your world when you step into your brilliance and give yourself permission to shine. Ultimately when you speak your truth in this way, you give yourself permission to be spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically free.

Remember how blessed you are
We all have something bad crossing our paths from time to time and although it might feel like the end of the world, remember that it could be worse. If you have only R1000 to your name, remember that there is someone else that only has R100 to their name. If you feel you have been betrayed by a loved one, remember that someone else has lost a loved one.

The sanctuary is within you
What has happened is in the past, finished, over and done with. And each moment of what is happening right now is also in the past as soon as it has happened.
Never mind what-is. Imagine it the way you want it to be so that your vibration is a match to your desire. When your vibration is a match to your desire, all things in your experience will gravitate to meet that match every time.

There's Not One Truth Or One Religion That Is Appropriate
Have you ever known someone whose life was not based on what you thought was moral or appropriate behaviour? And yet, they continued to win. You know why? They don't listen to the other side of the argument and mix up their vibration. They focus upon and hold themselves in alignment with what they wantâand the Universe delivers to them what they want.
It doesn't matter how many others stand back and claim injustice, foul play, or inappropriate, the Universe always answers your vibration. And it doesn't have anything to do with what anybody else is doingâor thinks about what you're doingâunless you change your vibration because of what they think about what you're doing. That's why a variety of medical remedies work differently on different people. That's why a variety of religious intentions work for different people.

Abundance
Do you know that everyday you are unconsciously reliving successes or failures? By playing these positive or negative tapes over and over in the mind, you are literally planning and practicing your future.
Thoughts form habits.
When you learn to discipline your thoughts and concentrate on the positive, youâll be creating the habit of success.
Success, happiness and self-satisfaction come from within.
Believe without exception that, âI can do it!â and you will.
Success and happiness also depend on your willingness to persist when the going gets tough.
Often, giving up too soon is the reason most people fail to find their most satisfying successes.
Your belief in yourself determines what youâll accomplish.
Your mind is always programming itself to keep you happy and content in the world youâve created. Beating yourself up about negative habits only tightens their hold over you. And feeling guilty only makes them stronger.
"You can replace old habits by creating new, more positive ones. Research has shown that it takes about twenty-one days to change a habit."
- Sharon A. Michaels

A simply quiet life
Simplifying your life does not only mean cleaning out your cupboards, re-organising your store room or getting rid of excess stuff. All most of us want, is a quiet life. By that I don't mean you must not travel, be adventurous or have a busy life. I'm talking about having a quiet, peaceful mind, a mind that is at ease with where you are in life, that can handle whatever is thrown at you.
Decluttering our minds is one of the most important aspects of living a simple, fulfilled life. If your cupboards are neat and organised but your mind is still in a place of turmoil, you won't feel any better. We all have problems that arise in our lives and important decisions to make and problems are much easier to handle when we have inner peace.
Inner peace is obtained by taking a good look at what's going on in your life and deciding what is important and dumping all the rest. By clearing out "unnecessary" thoughts and problems, it leaves us space to deal with only that which is necessary. We often fill our minds with all sorts of irrelevant things which makes it impossible to see the big picture.
If you're contemplating moving house, don't sweat the small stuff like, "where am I going to put this in the new place" or "I won't have space for my desk and computer" or "the new bathroom is so small". Life has a way of working out those small issues and we are all actually very adaptable beings. Once you've made a decision, just do what you have to do and the rest will fall into place.
Inner peace also comes from deciding which problems you can actually do something about and which you cannot help with except by giving constant support, like a friend or a family member that might be going through a difficult time. If the problem is of a financial nature and you can help, that's fine. If not, let it go and know that things happen as they must. To tell you the truth, you are not actually responsible for the rest of the Universe, even your own adult child, but love and support is something that we all have an abundance of and that's the best we can do.
All problems and decisions are the same - changing jobs, getting divorced, financial security, loss of a loved one - look at the big picture, let go of what you can and move on. Regrets and living in the past serves no purpose. All we have is now, tomorrow might never come, so let's do the best with NOW that we can.
