Being Christ Like- Living The Golden Rule

So I hope I am allowed to voice my opinions and concerns in this venue. In my busy sleep dream state last night we (my Spirit Guides and I) were talking about the true meaning of Christ. The word Christ means: LIGHT. Living in a world where intolerance, injustice along with other non-lit issues are making headlines everyday, it is more important then ever to find the "Christ Light" within you. I always find it interesting that Jesus, Christ, God are slung around some peoples vocabulary's to judge, curse, justify, to pardon or excuse discriminatation and to avoid personal responsibility, to war against others. Often these people are to easily brainwashed controlled by fear, ruled by dictators or even a sin based" Jesus Can Save You" religion. They use these precious words to hide in the dark and to behave quite un-Christ like. I/we worry about their inability to "think for themselves". Better yet, feel for themselves. They can become bitter, angry people who bring hate into this world because they have lost sight of their own light. They fail to understand that the light is something they can embrace. Be not afraid of or intimated by. They have forgotten that they are created from it. Christ Love & Light is already a part of them. Never separate. That no matter what they have done as humans: the Soul part of them deserve to be Light/Christ like.
Becoming more "Enlightened" is the true purpose of human kind. It transcends all religions, sacred texts, hu-man-made laws and rules. It isn't for sale, it can't be earned, there is no sin point system. In the end: No one can save us- we must save ourselves. This greater understanding is what is needed to evolve the Universal Counsiousness. It is: our purpose and destiny. We all must: "Treat each other the way we would like to be treated" For we are all related. We are One. We are the outward expression of Love and the Light Of Christ within this world.

Ah...And Then There are Those Speed Bumps!

So I am moving along quite nicely. Over coming fears and obstacles leaps and bounds. Feels really good, I am finding my comfortable pace. I am catching up with the lead cars....and then "BAM" I hit a speed bump. I literally I hit the ground. I am stunned, embarrassed, hurt and wounded both inside and out. What the heck does this mean? Well after a brief ER visit last night, lots of ice, nice pain medicine and a not so good nights sleep I hear in my morning meditation: Slow and steady wins the race Robin. Stop trying to do it "all or nothing". OK I think I understand this. But why the @#&*^ "speed bump?" I hear: You were using far too much energy out of the starting line. (NO I am not a Nascar fan or a horse racing one either) But I get it....I can see the track. It all makes sense to me know. If I am indeed seeking balance and moderation in my life then the added pressure of making up for lost time is not the way to achieve this. Today I am sore and slow. But I am more focused then ever on the goals: the changes I have set out for myself. I am certain that by slowing myself down, step by step, one day at a time this long term changes will happen. Change is no longer impossible but actually inevatible. Learning that "slow and steady" is fast enough. I know that I will not get lost, instead I will enjoy the view. Awake and aware on this wonderful life journey. And yes my friends, I am thanking God today for the speed bump. With nothing broken but an unhealthy pattern!

Change Happens

So we are plugging along "doin the best we can with what we got" and something or someone from our past jumps out and grabs us. Trying to pull us back, slow us down. To stop us from making the positive changes we are making. Have you ever had this happen? We can often read far too much into this like" is it a sign from the Universe" telling us we shouldn't be doing this or trying that? I think not. How about instead we look at this as our higher self asking us "how much or how badly do we want this? " Maybe there are tests, detours, and yes even saboteurs out there along the way. But they can best serve us during the change process by helping to motivate us. Some people are afraid of being left behind or maybe not being needed anymore. But once they appear on our path remember that you have free will and choice. We can choose to go back with the old ways: which are often unhealthy and energetically draining or we can choose something different, healthier and uplifting. Sometimes CHANGE may mean new friends, new jobs, new relationships. I know that by doing things the way we always have: means getting what we have always got! It is in that moment when we must stand tall, take a deep breath and say: "I am ready for something better." I am willing to do my part, to make new choices. With hard work, disipline I can be the change I wish to see in the world.

It's All About the Balance

So here I am taking the one day at a time approach in creating positive changes in my body, mind and spirit. Eating like a tree is not as easy as you would think. Though I am eating much healthier. I am happy knowing that I am more awake and aware these days of my daily intake. Taking notice sooner of "old pattern's" the quicker I can steady my course.
Daily exercising is tough. Especially when your body hurts everyday. What I want to do and what I can do are not always the same. But I am busy practicing acceptance and loving my body anyway. My body is not my enemy. It is my temple. It has suffered years of abuse and damage. I can envision healing it, easing the pain and filling myself with light from the inside out.
But where it comes to setting healthier personal boundaries, with people who are "clueless' of how their negative energy and actions effect hyper "sensitive" people I am seeing the most results. I AM protecting myself- my energy better. I no longer am the abused child, beaten wife, or victim. I am a empowered survivor. I feel so much better when I am standing in my truth. Saying what I mean. Meaning what I say. Not waiting until the wind is going to "blow' but doing so way before the breeze turns fierce. (( =
I think it is rather funny that I lived for 46 years before I learned that it is okay for the human part of me to be angry at being trespassed against. To express it in a healthy manner is OK. Whew, what a relief that turned out to be. Without guilt. Shame or blame. It is what it is....perfectly normal. It makes me wonder what else I may have overlooked that may be holding me back. I am certain more will be revealed.

Run Like Deer, Fight like Mother bear, Hide like fox, Learn to Strike like rattlesnake.

For those who know me, know I take everything "personally". I am beginning to realize that by doing so I have "unknowingly" been projecting a victim (gives power away) energy out into the world. However, I am standing much taller these days, head held high, eyes wide open. And I am learning that I am more the survivor now.(takes power back) I am getting better at setting healthier personal boundaries, speaking my truth and fighting for injustice in this world. For all injustice effects the Spiritual parts of me of us all. I no longer can run away, tuck my head in the sand, pretending that it is ok for people who I help and humbly serve with love and light to continue to control or abuse me.
Oh and recently someone asked me the million dollar question: who told me that is wasn't okay to be angry? Until that moment, I thought anger was unhealthy. Anger was used in my victim past to control and abuse me. But I know that some anger is healthy for the human part of me. So today I am owning my anger. I will feel it. Find my balance with it. Knowing that it is okay to be angry by the disrespect, inconsideration, rudeness that some people project in the world towards me. I am fuious (like a mother bear) that the more good I do everyday, the more likely there will be a lost soul who will try to knock me down or out of the game. Today I am standing with a fist in the air, shouting to the heavens, I am still HERE and no matter what happens I will keep doing and being what I am....LOVE in this world.

One Step At A Time

So when you begin a new wellness program it is easy to become overwhelmed. You have a lot of new materials to process and assimilate into your new daily practices. If you look at it all at once...gulp... you can cause the "stall and delay" effect. Freeze and resist moving forward. (old pattern) I decided that it will be best for me to make these changes slowly. Add a few things at a time and not try to do it all at once. Yea, me! I am already working in a more balanced fashion. Breaking that all or nothing girl pattern. lol
I can honestly say especially with food allergies I must practice awareness and patience. With exercise and new daily supplements I must practice willingness and discipline. With my spirit I must visiualize in meditation the "results I wish to see". My focus is now on the "creation" process. Step by step with awareness, patience, willingness and discipline I will have no choice but to succeed. I often hear "just keep swimming, just keep swimming..." I know that giving up is not an option. I deserve to be happy energized and healthy. Everyday in everyway I am working towards a healthier ME.

Maker's Diet & The Shaman's Way

So I have been asked to share what this is. First I wish to say I dislike the word diet. It has too many visions of failure or sabotage associated with it. Let's use the words "healthy eating plan."
It is very much like the shaman diet we ate in Peru. Fish, chicken, soups, eggs, nuts, beans, fresh papayas, mango's, bananas/plantains , figs, dates, apples, pomegranates, coconut(the meat, milk and oil) dark leafy veggies, olives, onions, avocado, rice, honey, sea salt, pepper, olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice. We drank teas and aloe juice.
Quite honestly, I never felt better. Even under the most challenging of physical conditions Hey, it was 105 degrees in the shade everyday. Nothing was cold. Everything was either warm or warmer. But eating this way I had more energy, felt more alive. My blood felt more pure flowing within my being. Oh yea, and everything was prepared with song and prayer. Maybe that was the magic ingredient. But I remember feeling more awake and aware. Like someone lifted the fog out of my brain. Lately when I am meditating I have been asking how I can loose weight and get healthy once and for all. And I hear: Robin just eat like they did in the bible. Oh, and everyday I use frankincense, sandalwood and myrrh oil on my body. Smudge with white sage. Now I will start singing and praying as I prepare my food. I think we just may be on to something.

Gasp....Eat Like A Tree?

So lately I am having allergic reactions to everything! E-pi pens and Benadryl are my new best friends. Can't leave home without them. Now it is hard enough to eat 3 times a day, a few snacks blah blah and walk on the treadmill for a half hour. Yes, Robert, I am fantastic, I am marvelous, I love myself. I am still going to take care of me first! Finally find balance in 2009.
But it seems as though now I have morphed into yet another level of freaky hyper-sensitivity. There is a message in all of this I know it. So I ask in meditation and I hear: eat the foods that are in the bible: I find The Maker' Diet and it makes since to me, next I hear: eat like a tree. Now I really am confused. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE TREE'S. Tree's eat threw the root system and the leaves. Ah, I get it, the root chakra is out of sync. This all makes since. I know as a Shamanic Healer that if a child is sexually abused their root chakra will not function properly. So mine should be wiped out big time.
Now I can pay close attention to "feed it" and care for it properly. Maybe this can calm both the physical pain and the emotional pain. I will begin a daily practice to ease this. And will keep you posted.
