Captured Moments

  Whether we were taught how to respect ourselves or not, we can decide for ourselves, in any current moment, how to identify it and consciously apply it.  Maybe our early mirrors (parents, grandparents, extended family, siblings, teachers or friends) reflected their fears, disappointments, anger, disapproval, depression, lack of self-respect or even disgust at who they thought we were, we ultimately have the power to shift and change that self-image into self-respect that TRULY reflects who we TRULY ARE NOW!    When we CONSCIOUSLY invite in our OWN INNER LIGHT with the intent of seeing our old ideas, identifications and definitions of us, it will show us what we have outgrown, no longer need or want and what and how it can be discarded now.  This takes courage and determination and, as we release from these old self-identifications, meaning letting go of who we thought we were, space is created for a newer version of ourselves to enter.   OUR OWN INNER LIG...

  Life can become frustrating, even when we plan to do our best, apply everything we've been learning, stay focused on everything we've aimed for, desired or wanted to fulfill our every striving towards human health, happiness and even to obtain and sustain TRUE POTENTIAL!  Yet, the patterns to life can lead us to think that we have done something wrong, something backwards, overlooked something valuable or let opportunities pass us by.  By accessing OUR OWN INNER LIGHT, we can often see and start to accept that there are patterns of growth and development we have to go to and through to continue moving towards our TRUE POTENTIAL and goal of INTEGRATED WHOLENESS! When we liken our life to an airplane, we begin to see some of the patterns that can play out on our path, in terms of growth, awareness, possibilities and potentials. Life preparations begin as soon as we are born.  Parents, caregivers and/or extended family members act as waves, moving us to and throu...

  When we consciously collaborate with OUR OWN INNER LIGHT, asking it to shine into the areas that we need to see, that may have been in the shadows, we must take four steps to heal whatever is revealed. Our intention must be clear that those 'hidden, unconscious, subconscious' aspects need to and will surface when and as they need to, in order to be released.  OUR LIGHT is revealing to us, maybe through us, what is no longer of service to us. First, we must feel it, then find it, then face it and lastly, free it.  We cannot wish it away, hope it goes on its own, pray it leaves us alone or deny it exists.  It will simply remain there, with the possibility of greater growth, expansion, deeper pain or signs that it is impacting our health in a  myriad of ways. We may have to see why we hid it, denied it, looked the other way or pretended it didn't even exist. Maybe that protected us, maybe it was way too embarrassing, maybe we let it fester so now, it is way ...

When we are developing as children, our influences are all around us.  Parents or original caregivers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, neighborhood friends, school friends, teachers to name a few. We have our own inherent natures, talents, abilities, inclinations and tendencies, of course.  Yet, like a piece of clay, we are being  sculpted into what our families expect, want to see for themselves, prefer to see and will work to mold us into. We utilize these aspects and features and factor them into our sense of self, our self-identity, our self esteem and our growing confidence.  As our personalities continue developing, we might find ourselves going in different directions due to a variety of factors that we might not be aware of and yet they continue to pull us in new directions.  Are they shaping us in new ways, in some improved ways or are they carrying a negative imprint of some kind?  Have we signed up for an ancestral cleansing,...

When we have accessed our Own Inner Light, when we have cleared off old, worn out, negative relationships and old bound up chords, and let go of old hurts and deeply impacted emotions, we need to CONSCIOUSLY ALLOW our own positive, personal, emotional healing to emerge through our own chosen reassurance. This is the integration for WHOLENESS, for balance and for our BEST health, vitality and healing.  When we make this our own current day personal choice, our WHOLE system takes notice and everything changes towards the positive energy and purpose we have always carried. When we clean out and clear out our 'golden pond' (emotional, vital energy) of old, stuck, dark, dank, clutter that is no longer needed, wanted or necessary, we 'level up' energetically and our frequencies change, too. The HIGHER our vibration goes, the better we all feel and now, the more LIGHT we carry, the better we can see.   Our human systems carry so much energy and some of that energy has been stu...

When we accept that Our Own Inner Light can reveal where we are blocked and in need of healing, then our unconscious aspects can push up and out and begin clearing these old stuck and stagnant places.  Once the unconscious becomes conscious, it can't be unconscious again, so says Carl Jung.  What shows us the hold and energy of the unconscious is our OUR OWN INNER LIGHT. It has our very best interests at heart. When it is time to release for peace the old tired blocks, preventing us from becoming our best selves, these shifts and changes will occur. There are many healing techniques that can be and are quite effective. If you imagine yourself as a tall glass of clear water,  feeling quite clear, just as you are and then life has put mud or dirt in it, to taint who you were originally, that has changed your original clarity.  To flush it out, to return you to your original clear state, more clear water has to be added.  In that way, you fill with t...
