Is Anything Stronger Than Love?

Dear Bev,

I carry a lot of fears.  You talk in your CDs about ways of releasing fears.  I’m curious, the feeling of love is stronger than fear – is anything stronger than love?

ChoicesWhat a great question!

As I reflect on this I would encourage you all to consider the power of CHOICE, and the conscious role it plays in your life. Many of us spend a great part of our lives stuck in old patterns and styles of thought. These patterns are actually holding us back. Sometimes we are aware of them and sometimes we are not.

Growth is consistently becoming aware of all the aspects of ourselves. We need to feel those aspects, acknowledge them and then actively move into ways  of releasing them. All of this involves pivotal moments of Choice.

How do I use Choice? I can tell when I am stuck because I feel grey or unhappy or worried…there is an aspect of unrest that is showing up. I have taught myself to “Stop Look and Listen” rather than just distract or give in to acting out the distress. This took a lot of willingness and time to really get there. When I was young I would mostly distract. Not now…it is too important to me.

Choice is about feeling what is going on in the body and the mind and then looking towards moving into Choice. For that I play with any of the following…and this is just some of the techniques:

  • I stretch a lot and enjoy yoga. This opens me up to aspects of myself. The more open I am and the more oxygenated I am, the more I can move to higher aspects of who I am.
  • I enjoy continuous writing. It allows me to get in touch with what is going on and what is really important to me.
  • I practice releasing techniques.
  • I love to meditate as that brings in calmness and an awareness that helps with choice.

Grounding is vital. We cannot make wise choices when we are not grounded. To be grounded means we are in our body. When we are not in our body, we are swimming around in our heads and often old stuff surfaces.

Choose an affirmation to say in those moments such as:

  • Every moment has Choice.
  • Choice is the Engine of my Personal Power.

Connecting to the choices we have in each moment can bring us into self-growth in a very powerful way. Slow down and breathe and take a time out. Go into your heart for yourself and others.

What if you live your life from a place of conscious awareness and that became more important than everything else you do?

Choice is a key part of your Mastery. Take this month and play with all the aspects of this message that has meaning for you.

CHOICE!!…it belongs to you. It’s a gift we have been given. Pay attention at all times. Choice is right here in the moment.

Remember that only you have the ability to Choose your awareness—no one else.

HOLDING POWER

happy 2013For those of you who are earnest about self-growth, the development of HOLDING POWER is essential.

What do I mean by holding power? It’s your ability to stay consistent with your growth in the face of the external world and all its challenges.

If you collapse into old ways, look at what meaning you are still giving a situation. For example, if you want to be brave in a certain situation. but you hide instead (whatever hiding looks like for you) then you are still giving a meaning to a thought that is old and limiting to you.

HOLDING POWER involves the following:

  • Being aware of a belief
  • Being present in the moment so you know what is happening
  • Having ways of calming yourself if you feel stressed so you can choose differently
  • Knowing how to challenge and change your relationship  with an old style of thinking
  • Step by step building a momentum of consistency

Each one of these stages is important for you to know about and have strategies to move forward.

As I move into 2013, I am focusing on “HOLDING POWER” for you.

Enjoy playing with the different aspects of this theme.

Consistency of practice is key.

This year the newsletter will be a combination of written and video.

You can all make a New Year’s Resolution or have a Wish list of what you would like to create, but the bottom line is being clear about whether or not you sincerely want to change, and then building strategies of HOLDING POWER.

May this be a year of meaningful growth and an increasing mastery of health and happiness.

Best Wishes

Bev

A Day to Remember

Know that I do every practice exercise I share with you. As you are playing with them, I am as well. I personally need the reminders and practices to stay on the course of what is important for me. I find practices help me build the consistency of ‘inner muscle’ I want in life. I stay committed to my self-growth so I notice, I practice, and I self correct. So here is this month’s Practice Exercise which I first did in Japan while working...

Take a day and choose to commit to notice and find delight in all the small things. Take nothing for granted. Exaggerate your noticing and enjoyment. Really be present. You may have a picture of yourself really vibrating with aliveness. Take a good look, and recreate that feeling inside you. Wake yourself up. For example: While drinking water think “wow this feels good...I love it!!”. Really open yourself to being appreciative of all the little things around you in your life.

If you forget, just correct without judgement, and go back to noticing and smiling with appreciation. Behind this is a very powerful part of you that can determine the ‘colours’ you experience inside.

Testimonial

My daughter, Trinity, attended her first Children’s Empowerment Workshop and she loved it! It has helped her deal with some of the real anxieties that all children go through - from the not so nice kid at school, to the imagination that runs away with her at night time, when we are getting ready for bed.

She practices her rooting and the different breathing techniques that she has learned, and has become stronger and more confident in dealing with different situations.
