Same issues popping up? Here’s why
Same issues popping up? Here’s why

Have you noticed the thing you have a problem with or the things you have issues with are the things that keep showing up in your life?

Telltale signs are, you hear yourself say,

  • “My problem is this (fill in the blank)”,

  • “I have an issue with (fill in the blank)",

  • "I can't, I haven't been able to, this keeps happening...",

  • "I've been feeling this way (fill in the blank for your feels) for a long time",

  • and "I struggle with ...."

You often talk about said problem, issue, feels or patterns, #1, because you can't help it (because of the momentum you've got going on around it - more on that in a later post), and #2, because it temporarily makes you feel better to know you're not the only human on the planet who's having this experience or feeling this way.

Don't get me wrong, human bonding is good, and it can sometimes help to know you're not the only one, but bonding over what you don't want more-of, is not a habit I encourage.

With Every Lock, Comes a Key
With Every Lock, Comes a Key

I’ve written this in response to the questions I’ve been receiving (either directly or indirectly) about our current global situation:

If you begin from a vibrational premise, then all things can be understood - even those things that seem so big and so “wrong” or beyond “understandable”. From a vibrational lens, there’s nothing ever imperfect happening, in this universe of perfect, individual and collective vibrational asking and answering.

What’s being asked for, is always what’s being answered.

“The problem” is always a solution in disguise. With the problem, solutions are birthed that couldn’t have been there without the problem coming first.

Within the problem are the answers you’ve been seeking, from which you’ll continue to want and ask for more.

What could this “problem” be creating and solving? Responding to and answering?

Life forms and informs you.

If you look at people’s responses (or reactions) to this current situation – it helps you understand that this is simply a manifestation of the fear-based and paranoid culture that we live in. Thoughts and emotions lead to things. They manifest. But a further manifestation of something unwanted (ie., a manifestation that seems more obvious or observable) creates a stronger desire for something wanted. Nothing will make the essence of what you’ve been vibing (and therefore being a vibrational match to) clearer than when something like this happens. It demonstrates to you how you feel, what you *were* feeling and what you believe along with opportunities to choose more deliberately how you now want to feel, and what you now want to believe. It brings clarity. It brings choice. It brings empowerment.

It's All You
It's All You

Most people go through life feeling like it’s more or less random.  

Might that be you?

You’re managing, sure.  You’ve got a pretty good handle on most things –– you get up in the morning and have your beverage of choice, go to work, interfacing with mostly the same people, doing the same things, thinking the same thoughts, hit repeat and do it again tomorrow.  You do all the right things, mostly, and so everything works, mostly.

All well and good, until...

You launch that product or service you thought was really great, and it totally flops.

Your in-laws just. won’t. change. those super annoying habits.

The government, hhmm, shall we say, Trump?...does something that feels out of your hands.

The control you’ve asserted in the past, worked.

The control you’re trying to assert now, doesn’t.

Wtf gives?

Who are you now?
Who are you now?

The stories that replay in your head can be so loud.

The things they said, you thought were true.

The way you used to feel shows up in your now, taking you back to when you were three when your father left, when you were twelve when the kids on the playground made fun of you, or from your more recent past when you chose yourself instead of him.

Echoes from your past,

“Who do you think you are?”

“Get over it.”

“You’re not as good as her or as pretty as her.”

“You’ll never amount to anything.”

“Put up and shut up.”

The voice of scorn, “Your work isn’t good enough”, “No one will ever want to marry you”, “You want too much,” or, “You think the whole universe revolves around you, don’t you?” (Well yes, as a matter of fact it does, thank you.)

Where Has The Love Gone?
Where Has The Love Gone?

Where once there was connection and the warm and fuzzies, now the love between you has slithered away leaving layers of scaly resentment, anger and frustration.  

When you first met, you loved-him-so.  He left sparkles and fairy-dust in his tracks.  He painted your toenails, fluffed your pillows, paid attention to you in ways that made you feel really special, and looked longingly into your eyes.  If someone were looking-at-you-looking-at-him, all that could be seen were big hearts bursting out of your eyeballs as you gazed adoringly at him.  You easily overlooked his "flaws" ("What flaws?!?", you asked), his messes and gruff manor around anything emotional.  "Perfection, manifested," you thought.

Then one day, you noticed something about him that seemed like a flaw in the perfection package. You gave it some thought; maybe you discussed it with your friend(s). You may have decided you should discuss it with him, asking him to stop doing (or change) that thing because it made you feel irritated, bothered, angry or bad in some way.

So he did.  Kind of.

Tiny Boxes
Tiny Boxes

We categorize, pigeonhole and put things in their places.  

We construct tiny boxes and fill them with things that fit into them.  Even with love...

I love you...If.

I love you...When.

I love you...Because.

Do this - and I love and approve of you.

Which can also mean  - I don't love you if, when or because.

What's That Supposed to Mean?
What's That Supposed to Mean?

"What are you making it mean?"

Sounds like a simple question.  What I'm referring to are the meanings you link to experiences and events in your life that you use to define who you are or are not; who others are or are not; and what the world is or is not.  

Meanings involve what you're capable or incapable of and what possibilities or improbabilities lie before you.  Meanings interweave with your beliefs and expectations.  

So how bound are you to those meanings?  

When someone says something to you in that tone of voice - what do you make it mean about you, or about them?  You might make it mean you did something wrong, they're an idiot, they're in a bad mood, or that you're responsible for how they feel.  

When you get (or don't get) something you want - what do you make it mean?  You might make it mean that it's your doing, or someone else's.  Maybe it's just luck, random, coincidence or that this one-time or every time things go your way? Or maybe it's that things don't ever go your way (or rarely do) and that it's someone else's fault you didn't get what you want?
