A Tune Up ~ Attunement ~ Grace

 I Affirm, "The more that I attune & align my energy with Appreciation and Gratitude, the more the Universe will Deliver my visions, my hopes, and my dreams. My greatest hope is that this, aligned with the collective consciousness, will serve to make the world a better place for our children to fully discover their truth and fullness of their gifts.  I fully Trust and have Faith in the Divine Spirit to deliver my aspirations aligned with the highest intention of my Soul's Journey. I release all blockages so that all that remains is love."

I have consistently stated, often with angst, for the past many years that I had been learning the lessons of Temperance, and that this had been the most difficult of all lessons to learn. 

I stand corrected. Faith and Trust ... oh boy! And yet I understand the many concepts and theories, it is not making it any easier... from my head to my heart; surrendering fully to Trust and Faith, is challenging me to my core. 

The phrases that I had, in the past, replayed over and over again in my mind, the ones that I thought that I had lost along with hope, are in there, I can feel it... all awaiting to be brought back to life. This, sadly, was all replaced and lay in wait behind anxiety and panic attacks. Not a very comfortable trade-off.  Although the panic attacks have stopped, the anxiety remains in tack. Having never experienced either, ever before, what a strange existence I was being made aware of. Faith, Trust in Spirit, and Hope were the only road back. 

"Everything will work out as it should. If there is a will, there is most definitely a way. There is always a Greater Plan. and my cousin's favourite, God doesn't give you what you cannot handle." (To which I have been responding 'Wanna bet?' But again, here I stand, or sit, or lay; I remain here, vigilant and dedicated to a journey that I would say or teach, that I DID, in fact, sign up for, so there much be a reason. There must be a greater lesson to continue my reflection upon this today, so I will spend that time doing so.  What is the greater lesson? How is this to help me along my soul's journey? What is my greatest hope for today? What is my greatest intention for today? To hold space for this and continue on with awareness fully conscious. 

Our reflection is perspective, always based on the messages in which we have learned, and if we are patient, messages that we re-learn.  With this, there is a strong message ending this week to remind myself that I am worthy; that I OWE it to myself to graciously accept compliments, accolades, and most of all praise, from another or others, for a job well thought out, earned, and deserved. This reflection of not being good enough, or enough, or doubt, shame, blame, or guilt, is just not mine to carry around anymore. 

Out with the TRASh.

GONe... just like that, back to the moment of clarity and peacefulness within. As I move into today, I do so with so much joy, a healthy attitude, and love that runs through my veins so vigilantly. Always knowing. 

LOVe knew all along. 

This seems to be a place of remembrance and recovery, as the most incredible feelings of self love, blessed joy and fulfillment motivate and inspire me to begin my day from this peace. This messages comes with a deep understanding that in holding onto the chaos, deceit, masks, and lies of someone else, that have placed a great stress upon my own sense of truth and well-being. I have spend the past year working through this madness, which included anger and self pity at times. I work through all of this until it broke me down to tears. I surrendered to this gift, knowing that the true gift is in forgiveness <3 

It's TIMe.

To promise. To commit to learning from the many lessons and challenges to destroy my fears. This is what sets us free. Fear sits in our root and sacral chakras, always ready to warn or halt our sense of security. Back to Faith. So the time has come to take a leap, to understand my own relationship with money and finances, to own it, be responsible for it, and to finally understand what holds me back; to see with clarity what I had been drudging along my journey. If, and this is my vision, if, I want to bring my vision forward, I know that I must become re-acquainted with, and understand my relationship with money. In order to destroy my fears of what I may be holding on so tightly to, I must acknowledge that the unknown is a GOOD space to be, so that I can able to commit to a friendship amongst faith, the unknown, and wealth. 

CHALLenge Accepted. 

The final two messages go hand in hand with this. Establishing Boundaries and Practice saying NO. My new awareness is to ask what need is being served by always saying "YES! or SURE!" Are my responses based in love? a need? a want? success? what then? This takes me back to the inner awareness of "I am choosing to do.... because...." This can be applied to any scenario, situation, experience, challenge and opportunity. 

Boundaries. Boundaries make others take care of themselves, while at the same time challenging and empowering ME to do the same.  I am being called to, at this time, define my personal, divine space.  

HAve an amazing day, filled with self-reflection, awareness, grace, peace and love. Always be whole and complete, authentic to your own journey. Find happiness, grace, and  hope wherever you may be. 

Much love, Lori-Lynn

Faith> Love> GiveYOURGift> Release

Happy New Years Eve Day!  My thoughts and awareness as I close out the year. 2020, what a ride. From where I began to where I am now, I would never have believed anyone if they had told me that I would have traveled down and up and around and through, with so many sharp turns and turns that seemed to be leading right off the cliff. Oh my!

But alas, here I am. 

What have I learned most? to carry me through into 2021. If 2020 gave us the opportunity to go within and to discover what is most important in our lives... Introspection.  2021 is inviting us to move from focus into action... becoming Masters of our own lives. Master Manifesters, with Golden Bones, dreams and desires. And I smile. Most of all because I have learned to Trust; to have Faith again. To Surrender to the greatest love of all and to know that everything will work in favour of our highest values and intentions set. 

I have discovered that as I lost my sense of hope, I lost my sense of faith and trust. This, at its core, is essentially turning my back on God's Love. There it is. The Ho'opanono. "I love you. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." back to faith and back to love.

There is the part of 'letting go,' completely, of all that does not serve me, allowing the weight to just fall away. When I was living blindly in a state of cognitive dissonance, held back by limiting thoughts and beliefs, there was always worry and stress. Worry and stress that I was not enough, not good enough, that there was something wrong with me, that I was different, or unique, or both... to now knowing that I am okay with that, with me. That I am no longer fearful of others bullying, which as I grew older, it tends to be done so most discreetly. So I recognized what I needed to let go of and allowed the shroud to fall away; to dissipate into the healing vortex of love and compassion, not just for myself, but for all that use judgment, expectation, and conditions, when it comes to life. 

As I move forward into 2021, I Step out on the wings of Faith. The shift came for me when I began to truly understand that we all have a story, that we all have had hurdles, and that we can all heal. This begins with forgiveness. Once I truly made up my mind to forgive, the road to forgiveness became crystal clear. So as I begin my journey of 2021, I step out in faith; rather than seeing the past challenges as hits against me, I see them as lessons and opportunities, of growth... always towards the love, with the sincerity and honesty of Faith in God, the Divine, the Creator. 

Love Me, first, is to love God, which when we accept this love as full and complete, is when a love that is full and complete steps forward to allow us to surrender. Surrendering to the love within myself motivates me to release all of my insecurities and barriers. 

And so I will continue my process of beginning each and every day by reminding myself of something wonderful about ME. That's funny, as so many think that I am confident and self-assured. I wasn't... for a very long time. I would say that the hardest part of that was that I lost hope that 'Everything would work out,' even when so many 'things' did not just work out for me. 

I was then able to see where and what my role in this was. And so, I took it on, head on, to Empower my thoughts, awareness, mind, each day, and throughout the day, replacing the limiting 'push me down further' thoughts with positive, affirming, supporting, and healing thoughts. I am committed to taking each opportunity possible to love ME. 

What does this mean to me at my core. As I contemplate this, I understand that it goes hand in hand with my gifts and my talents;  my extraordinary ability to connect with others and to see beyond the mask. I can just close my eyes and listen once I have detached from the ego. Once I have connected with the Divine, my guides, and the guides of my clients, I allow the messages to flow. This is the area that I have discovered the greatest faith and surrendering was the only way to get here. What I know is that my gifts are not solely mine, for they were gifted to me, at a soul level, to learn and understand a great deal more... which I can open up fully and trust my journey. 

I had one final message and it does come prior to Surrendering. I talked about it a bit. Releasing. I teach that when we release, we always do so with kindness and love in our heart. We release with the intention of healing; transforming that stale or blocked energy into a powerful energy used to heal and provide insight for others. This energy always has so many lessons within it. 

So I commit to releasing each and every day... or as necessary... why wait... allow. Release the worry. I commit to sitting in trust and a commitment to my own journey, and aligning my journey with the journey of others, all the while recognizing what is my role and responsibility. Worrying only prevents me from hope and truly believing, which halts the envision process, and, prit near puts the brakes on creating; bringing to fruition that which I had learned to most focus on. I commit to breathing in and envisioning what CAN happen, who I can be, who I am, at my core, what my values, goals, wishes and dreams are. 

The moon reminds us of the illusions that are all around us. For me. The sun is my energy and the moon reflects my emotions. This was a huge acceptance and understanding. 

I have learned and continue to learn to conquer the stress, knowing that I am truly blessed. There is no blame. only awareness and forgiveness. all from a place of love. 

Much love, namaste, joy, and blessings for an incredible and sacred New Year! 2021 Lori-Lynn

'If' ~ and Turning the If into an Intention, Vision, and Reality

If, by Rudyard Kipling

"If you can keep your head when all about you, are losing theirs and blaming it on you.  If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too;   

    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or being lied about, don’t deal in lies... Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

    

    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:  If you can dream—and not make dreams your master.

                                                                    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;   

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

    And treat those two impostors just the same;   

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

    And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

    To serve your turn long after they are gone,   

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   

    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,pon 

    If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   

    And—which is more—you’ll be (Successful, my child!)"

These words went round and round in my head last night, as always I strive to be a better person (even when it does not seem to be my goal); to fulfill my destiny, and to find the love that I am seeking... a partner that fully supports who I am at my core. I am not desperately seeking just anyone, or anything; I am peacefully learning to understanding myself fully in the world, to know exactly what my compromises are. I will then put my wishes and hopes out to the Universe; that I serendipity will follow and I will connect with 'the one' that both matches and challenges my soul's journey; as I will theirs.

Upon clearing and meditation, I am once again reminded to Focus; a reminder to know what it is that I am choosing to focus upon; to seek the time, and the awareness, to sit in peace and open up to all thoughts, ideas, visions, and to ask for clarity. To Surrender then to the outcome of the possibility. For me,  on this day, I am being asked to go back and to re-write  (I suppose is the correct term) the vision. I do know that my vision board IS aligned on a physical level... to now re-define the terms and values to match my present day circumstances. Finally to Trust and Believe that the path that I have previously traveled, was to serve my fullest potential as I move towards new beginnings... that by creating a full heart, that is ever overflowing with love, potential, and prosperity... to understand and respect that there is value in my gifts; which flow through the hands of the Divine Spirit/God/The Creator. There are no mistakes; only errors in judgment, and choices made from limiting beliefs. These mistakes are meant to serve. Allow them the Grace. 

The Second Message that I received is in regards to a rather unbounded perspective on Protection. As a society, the past many years have harrowed many many messages, far too many, that lead us, or perhaps, have taken us away from the fullness of our being. Distraction and Chaos. I ask each day to only 'Do and BE my very best.' The first step is to GIVE myself the best that it deserves; to STOP 2nd rating who I am and my worth. This can be so disheartening. If I give my best, if I live my best, and if I love my best... what more could I ask? Set my intention during meditation and to hold this awareness in my heart. 

The final message, most interesting, is a renewal of understanding prosperity and abundance; perhaps then to separate it, rather than lumping it into one full swoop. Prosperity means so many different things to each and every one of us... even within households. I am being asked to look deep within my own heart for blockages and limiting beliefs; all that may be holding me back... in EVERY area of my life.  To visualize and meditate in order to release. 

I am committed to this mediation each night before sleep.  It truly does allow for an expanded awareness and has assisted me in releasing blockages. I do a similar meditation with clients, but have found this to be just as effective. This journey and my writings are my truth back to knowing that it is safe to own and set my own values on prosperity and abundance. To set these as intentions and then catapult it all out to the Universe... to allow; to surrender, and then watch as serendipity matches my own vibrational pull based on my new beliefs. 

My final thoughts brought forth one last message for today. A reminder to teach our children not only about the fullness of financial prosperity, but also the broadness of the abundance in every area of our life. To do so, is to empower future generations. And Children are our future. Teach them well. Teach them the prosperity of love. 

    A life lived well, is a life well loved, with truth, honesty, and integrity. Always, thank you for allowing me into your life, for but a brief moment most days, to share my journey, so that perhaps a spark may open something within YOU that in turn creates a wave of love, prosperity, joy, happiness, and lessons to be learned... the important ones... and they are ALL important as we walk forward. <3 

    Peace and Love. Lori-Lynn 

2021 Self-Awareness and Focus; Trust and Truth

 

It is most definitely time to soar. 2020 is almost behind us. What a ride that has been. For me, it's been a shift in my reality, my awareness, and my focus; to a place where I need to surrender to my own Truth... and Trust. 

I have I given this so much thought and contemplation over the past many days, which turned into weeks, and forward into months. It remains clear, this pandemic has allow for a couple of very different perspectives to come forth. As I see it, for me, it's been a time of great healing, within and a combination of the Mind, Body, & Spirit. Alignment. 

For me, it has been my choice to gain the necessary skills and mindset to be the most successful person that I can be. What I have discovered over the past several years, is that for me, and this definitely does not apply to everyone, but it does apply to me... it is at the core of who I am. And what is that, you may ask? 

PASSION Passion that I am doing what I love to do and doing it with passion and excitement, and drive, and joyfulness... always with a paramount amount of passion. 'They' say that if you do what you love, all will fall into place. What I have learned is that this is only part of the equation. There remains work to be done to live my life with passion. As I have discussed endlessly, it's been the loss of hope that broke me. Hope. 

A feeling of expectation, desire, passion, for a certain outcome to come to fruition.  True Hope comes with a feeling of Trust. I close my eyes and allow this to settle deeply into my heart space; to fill my awareness, thoughts, and actions, to that which I choose, with a passion, to permeate my entire being, outstretching to my aura and aligned with the Universal Laws... all in Divine Timing. No resisting and Zero Limits. that is Trust. 

My next step is to ask for Divine Guidance, aligned with my Spirit Guide. What is the Greatest Ideal of Myself today?  What do I most want to achieve? What brings me the greatest hope? 

The first message is to find my focus. But I believe that there may be more to this than I initially felt. The message is meant to create a space so that I can discover my true passion; to find my passion, with complete honesty. This, while in meditation or holding space, begs me to open up fully, to all ideas, thoughts, wishes, dreams, and visions, all the while taking in my past decisions and even feelings to break down where I thought that I was being honest... but truly, no so much.

Being completely honest, is something that we learn... well, more so, we learn the opposite. We learn what others believe or feel or perceive will make us happy and then we begin to walk that pathway. So as the New Year approaches, so does new awareness, ideas, visions, and hope. The message of Focus is a reminder of the ups and downs, the challenges that we may have faced. Look inward into the highs and lows. Focus says to remind myself 'whose' I really am and not WHO I have come to believe that I am. Truth is... I am a child of God, Unique, Blessed, and Perfectly Created. Allow that to settle in. 

I don't belong to anyone; only aligned with the Divine Highest Creator... and it is within this alignment and focus that a new perspective is planted. 

The second message that comes to me is one of Prosperity, Abundance, and Wealth. This honesty within can have such incredible insight into where I am. Holding Space to become aware of what wealth means to me and how to achieve my dreams and visions. Allowing the Universe to 'make it happen,' can only be achieved when we truly believe and trust... right down to every bone, tissue, fibre, and cell... all within our consciousness, sub-consciousness, and unconsciousness. 

Understanding and knowing where our beliefs about money and prosperity comes from, again, is paramount. Today, I am being asked to study money; to ask questions... the questions that allow me to be comfortable to how money works. Money, is an exchange, like any other exchange. For me, it's the value that sometimes perplexes me and this is where my block lay. So with this, my challenge for today is to destroy and recreate my fear; to transform this energy AND to be okay with the unknown.... this, for me, is the avenue to build wealth; as a Master Manifester. 

The final message that came forward is that in regards to MY gifts. Again, it is the awareness that although it is MY gift... it was given to me by the Creator, the Divine SPirit, by God. It reminds me to use it appropriately and for the highest good of all. It also reminds me to give gratitude. 

This is where my thoughts brought me today and I am grateful. I am now on my way out for a peaceful walk with my puppy-baby <3 Much love to all and have an amazing day! Lori-Lynn
