Not taking it personally

(archived from  November 24, 2009)
It takes a lot of strength to stop taking things personally. 

To realize that every time someone responds or engages you 
in a way that makes you feel small, 
they did so because they feel small, 
because they are hurting somewhere inside. 

We tend to attract people to be close to us whose insecurities feed our own. 

No, we do not attract these people because we are emotional masochists 
who want to see just how much abuse we can take. 

We attract these people who challenge us because WE 
~ in our infinite and highest intelligence ~ 
know how to create opportunities for our own growth and healing. 

So... 
Take a deep breath into your root chakra. 
Feel your strength rise as you exhale. 
In this way and others, we tap into our power. 
Let's tap into our strength. 

We connect to our higher essence 
so that the outer influences of 
the damaged 
do not cause stress in our beautiful lives. 

And we remember that we are here to grow and to heal 

...and we thank those people who we have allowed to be our catalysts 
(whether or not they are aware of the positivity in their contribution). 

Sending so much Love, Light, and Gratitude to you ALL for your Love and inspiration.

Why is “Youth Akro Skills" a great way to learn Life Skills?

Why is “Youth Akro Skills" a great way to learn Life Skills ? The United States of America’s National Education Association (NEA) knows that the best way to get students to learn and retain information is to have them being physically active and engaged while learning . “ Teaching that emphasizes active engagement helps students process and retain information. It leads to self-questioning, deeper thinking, and problem solving. Engagement strategies like repetition, trial and error, and posing questions move the brain into active and constructive learning. And such activities can lead to higher student achievement.” - National Education Association Active learning is particularly effective with material that is more abstract and subjective. Active learning also helps bridge language barriers for learners and teachers who speak different native languages from one another. When teaching Life Skills in a 7th grade classroom in Fiji, I get a lot of blank stares from my stu...

Speaking Your Truth, Healing, and the High Value of YOU

Image
Your value that was lost each time that you were violated and each time you were physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually wounded, was only invested . Each time your truth was silenced , every time that someone in your life failed to hear about how you were feeling , you earned interest on your value that had been invested. And each time trying to tell your truth made you unsafe or got you rejected , your interest rate went up . Whenever your emotions and your truth have gone untold, unheard, dishonored, your interest has been compounded . A l l of the value that you once felt you lost is available to you now , with all of the interest it has accumulated over the years. You can access your invested value by hearing your own truth , by being fully present to yourself and by using your adult foundational tools to heal yourself . You heal by knowing and acknowledging that you are now safe . You find your grounding , your foundation. You begin to r...

Manifestation Mastery #1 - Clearing Negative Emotions Toward Myself

Image
In the last Manifestation Mastery Workshop , I shared the Transmute Method for clearing difficult emotions that block manifestations. Some examples are: fear, anger, blame, judgment, worry, guilt, jealousy and victim mentality. This morning as I did my meditation practice and connected deeply into my Spirit and physical body  I  became aware that I was carrying some guilt and judgement toward myself that have been preventing a fuller manifestation of my well-being. I was emotionally triggered because I ate some food yesterday that caused a congestion reaction in my body. I was carrying guilt for allowing myself to be in circumstances where I was not supporting my own health in the past. Some of you may be aware that at various times in my 40 years of life, I experienced health issues including chronic, frequent migraines, cancer and tumor scares, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, chronic fatigue and more. At those times, I used my Divine Creative Power to create guilt ...
