Take Your Foot Off the Brakes and Fly

“We put on the brakes by playing the safety game.  We fly by playing the curiosity-about-our-lives game.” – Jennifer Hough

Dear You:

Have you ever sabotaged yourself without even knowing it?  And sometimes you knew it and you did it anyhow?

I am also awed by the degree of freedom, assistance, flow and opportunity that is made possible when we take our collective and individual feet/foot off the brakes of our lives.  I want to share some of the ways, on this journey of Awakening, that we can take ourselves out of second gear, and go straight to 6th. Oh, and how to prevent the resistance in the first place!

This concept is particularly evident for me this week, having just come off an amazing conversation with our Flight School group. I am always awed by the vulnerability and courage of our clients like you.  Heck, I’m awed by my courage, but honestly I feel as though assisting others necessitates that I am constantly letting go of safety mechanisms. Comfort is so overrated when we can fly!

Brakes shmakes.

Here’s how we put the brakes on.  See if you recognize yourself (and, by the way, I humbly share this, knowing full well that I got the t-shirt, having done most of these ‘brake-putting-onning’ techniques in the past… LOL):

THINKING WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS ALONE:  Why would we… it’s so much slower.

THINKING THAT AWAKENING IS AN EVENT, VERSUS A WAY OF LIFE:  An amazing belief system if you want to step AWAY FROM your natural flow as a Creator.  Everything in life is constantly expanding…. be comfortable with being uncomfortable.

GIVING POWER AWAY TO GURU’S:  As though we are less than. That’s impossible.  Creation doesn’t make mistakes… you cannot be less than. You are only a compliment to the whole.

So how the heck can we take our feet off the brakes when we’ve had so much practice protecting ourselves, and being independent?  So glad you asked…. LOL.

Here are some suggestions:

GET YOURSELF REALLY TIRED OF DOING IT ALONE, AND TRYING TO PROVE YOURSELF:  Start including the genius and input of others

OWN THAT YOU DO NOT GET LIFE DONE:  You are a creator; if you are not creating, expanding, learning or making life more fulfilling,  you are going contra your natural state. Iif we are born creators, then by definition you can never be done… so stop trying to get somewhere.

KNOW THAT EVERYTHING IS MAGNETIC, SO IF YOU FIND A TEACHER WHOM YOU PERCEIVE IS A GENIUS AND MADE JUST FOR YOU… IT’S BECAUSE THEY WERE, and that you are a genius at the same level.  You are complimentary geniuses if you like. Sometimes your genius could use a little love and assistance or validation to fly and be free. You are not less than those who help you. The universe thought each and every one of us was a good idea, whether we are an inspiration or a catalyst; you will be both at different points in your life.  Just be grateful that the people who can assist you to remember yourself, got the cosmic phone call.

It’s a start.  There are so many more things to share.  But today, consider, chew on, and roll around in these points and see what resonates.

I am here with you in the spirit of “equal genius”, and my piece of the puzzle sees and acknowledges your piece of the puzzle.  

Perfectly imperfect… and loving every minute!

I always thought that I had to find the right person…

I know I’ve shared this before, but I think it’s worth revisiting. Thinking about my journey, I regret none of my previous relationships. Studying the laws of physics has given me so much clarity around my time with dear partners from the past.

I always thought I had to find the right person. Nope. Not about that. They find you. And that is based on a few important shifts in thinking that changed my life.

1. LOVE JUST IS – love is in and through everything, available at all times. There’s nothing to create as, if it really is love, then it’s already unconditional. Love that feels conditional is actually more about acceptance or approval.

Upgrade at a cellular level

Upgrade at a cellular level

I just finished a powerful 4 days at our Embodiment Workshop and VIP day here in Asheville and my heart is so full from all the shifts and clarity that happened for myself and for all of us collectively and I wanted to share something with you…

When we upgrade at a cellular level, ‘going direct’ with consciousness, we become part of its flow and push to expansion. We remember our natural state – to move forward and out.

Everything happens for us because consciousness works that way.

I had a dream about holding onto control…

I had a dream where something really spectacular was being built, but all of the recently purchased construction materials I thought I needed, fell into the water as everyone continued to build this awesome vision.

There was a flow to the water like a tide, and it pulled all of the old materials, or the materials that I thought we needed, even if they were new, out to sea. I remember scrambling in my dream to keep the old materials because I thought we needed them. I was telling everyone to get the old materials from the water. And then, at some point, I realized that nobody felt the same urgency as me.

At first, in my dream, I felt unheard, but I realized that was just my ego. I haven’t remembered a dream in a while as I’ve been integrating with some changes. So I knew that this dream was really important.
