Walking in FAITH.....

Why do we freeze in fear? 

What stops us from living our dreams? 

What is all that self chatter about anyways? 

Why don't we trust our inner visions?

These questions not only plaque my clients but also hit me hard too. There are times in life when you are drawn to follow your heart in any area of life - BUT there is fear, hesitation and even self sabotage. I have had this transition period for the last year to really do what I feel passionate about - Intuitive Counseling and Visionary Coaching and like other pivotal times in my life I have not trusted my heart fully. Thus I get lost in frustration and hesitation. 

I do not practice the very things I tell my clients - trust, move forward in action, and allow the universe do the rest. 

Trust  - Let's look at that - what is trust? Trusting in yourself your heart knows what is right for you. We innately know the answers that lead us to our truth. They are just buried under the past - emotions, experiences and thoughts. Getting clear about the vision you have and letting the past be the past is the way to trust. We have our minds which are a great tool but it is our thoughts that can also get in our way. If you were a bird, a tree or a flower you would just be that with out the mind to second guess how to be, are you being it right, and what else you can be. - So be the vision you have let it in and let the thoughts, judgements, emotions go......

Action - Moving forward in action - what does that mean? Well once you have your vision in mind there are steps to take to bring that vision to life. It does not matter what you do to get in action as long as you do something. There are ways to figure out what is best to do, look to others who have gone before you, research ways to do it. It still comes down to getting into action while holding your vision and trusting your heart!

Allow - let the universe do the rest - How do you do that? Letting go and being open to the flow of life. Many times we are so busy trying to force something to happen, the way we think it should happen, that we miss the opportunity right in front of us that is even better then we could have possibly imagined.

This has occurred multiple times in my life. I have had a vision for something in my life then started out in action but this action felt like hitting up against a brick way. Once I let go and allowed the universe to let things flow to me the situation worked out better then I can ever hope for. 

Let me give you an example. I was going through my divorce some years ago and in a hurry to finalize everything so I could move to California. My ex-husband was not cooperating at all and my lawyer was telling me things I did not want to hear. (Mostly that I could loose 50% of my premarital property and that it could take quite sometime and money to resolve.) I was devastated and exhausted - so I let go and focused on my daily activities. I stopped trying to force it to happen the way I thought was best. I got quiet and peaceful then it came to me. I wasn't buying in to the way things have to go in divorce for others and shared that with my lawyer. I dismissed my lawyer and received partial retainer refund. I opened up dialog with my ex-husband and we resolved our differences miraculously. My soon to be ex-husband and I amicably divorced representing ourselves in front of the judge to the surprise of the judge and everyone we know. I was free and happy, as I planned my move to Los Angeles as a single woman.

Now if you would have asked me weeks prior to this turn of events - that this is how it would work out I would have laughed in your face. I was ready for battle and my husband was the enemy. Instead we ended up friends and resolved all our financial matters in weeks instead of months or years. I allowed the universe to orchestrate things perfectly. I utilized trust, action and allowing. 

It is not something that feels natural to me totally - yet. I recently had this practice hit me over the head in selling my business. I just had to trust - let go of the thoughts that stopped me from action. Then move in action, as soon as I did a turn of events happened!  I am sure would have never happened unless I took the leap of faith to be in action, any action. Now I am moving closer to that vision and I am so happy about the party that I am selling to - it is PERFECT!
