As everyone knows, subconscious beliefs affect us and activate energies that we may not prefer. These tend to be deeply ingrained beliefs from our conditioning. These beliefs even tend to have beliefs sprouting from them so that it is hard to find these core beliefs.

This summer’s seasonal energy is about choosing more of Who you are. Within the theme of becoming more of Who you are this year, we are all finding that this has been a tough summer. Everyone is deeply immersed in their outer world working on their desire which is coming to some level of fruition. The deep work in the outer world is a good thing, and it is having everyone question what they believe.

Beliefs is a key to unlocking your dreams this summer. Unlocking comes when we release old, limiting beliefs and choose higher-vibrating beliefs that we can use to play the game of life. Another way of saying this is that this summer is challenging us to put a new program (beliefs) into our computers (ourselves), the program of Who we prefer to be. This, of course, requires deleting the old program off the computer so that the new one can run.

A new program, or belief, is not just a belief. It is truly a new program with different features and capabilities. We just saw the movie Inception. In the movie the main characters have the ability to enter into another’s dreams (during slumber) and to plant ideas, or beliefs into them. Their task in the movie is to get the heir to a huge energy company to take his new inheritance and break up his father’s company. Before the task, the heir plans on leaving the company as one, giving his company a monopoly on energy. After the inception of the idea (which they plant deep in the subconscious mind during dreaming), the heir has changed his mind. He now sees his father as having approved of him; he now feels that his father wanted him to be his own man and he is now ready to change everything about his company.

If you haven’t seen Inception, I recommend it. It is very appropriate to this summer’s energetic theme, which everyone is living now. It paints several great pictures of what a single belief can do, how many levels of your life a belief can affect and permeate. It shows how destructive a limiting belief can be and how powerfully beneficial and freeing an empowering belief can be.

If a belief serves you, it is empowering – unless you believe that it is and you are not seeing it clearly.

Notice whether your beliefs serve you, truly. As a co-creator we need to be very aware of the affects our current beliefs have on us and we need choose new beliefs that serve us.

Love & Light,
Kalyn

My teachers once said to me that it isn’t often in life that I will know things. When you do know something, they said, then use that and act upon it.

It’s not that this was an esoteric secret, it’s just that I’d never thought to think about the fact that there are things I know inherently somehow, things that I have a good idea about and many more that I just don’t know.

So many things in life are uncertain. Most of the time, at best, we make an educated guess, we do our best and hope things work out. But sometimes we know. And when we know, then we also know what to do and where that will lead us. This was their point, when I know, then I should let nothing stop me from using my knowingness.

Today is the anniversary of the day I was born. You may call it my birthday, but since I celebrate my birthday at a different time of year I think of this as a time of year when life seems to open to me. And this week has opened to me.

This week we met my father and his wife in Mexico City and we flew to the Campeche and Yucatan area. We are spending time together, of course, but part of the intent of the trip was for me to see some of my roots, some of my father’s heritage.

The trip has been, unexpectedly, very tourist-like. We have gone and seen Mérida, Campeche, the pyramid sites of Edzná, Uxmal, the city where my dad was born called Ciudad del Carmen; we also went to a small ecological area called Celestún. We saw some family in Ciudad del Carmen and drove around the neighborhood where my father grew up and went to school. We saw his local church and another church who had acquired their land as a donation by one of my father’s uncles. (This uncle had bequeathed quite a bit of land, donating several plots of land to various religions, no doubt to cover his basis!) The only thing that we didn’t get to do was to see my grandparents and great-grand parent’s graves.

Even with all of these sites, nothing stirred me, nothing touched me or felt like it was a part of me or my past. It was as if I were the complete stranger to these places that I am.

Still, I came to a place of knowingness several times on this trip.

Watch This

I used to watch everything: the time, the correctness of things, how well and quickly I did things and more. It was endless.

Keeping a mental record of time so that everything was done on time and correctly was really a bit uptight. Generally it got me to my appointments five, ten or fifteen minutes early since I kept watching the time to make sure I didn’t arrive late.

What a life! Living under the thumb of what should be, when it should be by and how many minutes passed on my watch while it did!

Then I embarked more deeply onto my spiritual path. I began relaxing, letting go and trusting. I even received a beautiful watch as a gift for my birthday and wore it, but I slowed my time down. When this watch broke, over ten years ago, I stopped wearing it. Even though I looked for a new watch to replace it, none of the dozen watches I bought “did it” for me, so either something happened to them or I decided I didn’t really like them. My wrist was bare.

And, without a watch, I stopped watching time, my life and my doings.

For so many years I have been living life, making appointments and getting things done without monitoring watches, metaphorical or real. I have been taking care of things, completing more projects and making it at the right time to appointments. The ‘right’ time is not necessarily the agreed upon time, as things happen for everyone such that sometimes my being ten minutes late or early are right in the flow of the arrival of the event.

I have now spent years asking my sweet, sweet husband, Kris, what time it is – because I do keep in touch with time. This has been quite a different experience from my former watching years. Not only had it turned my husband into Big Ben at times, but I only watch time at the right time, like before I need to give class. And, I only ask a few times and then make it to where I need to be at the right time.

So, after Kris time keeping with his current watch, his watch has begun to tell time too quickly. That is to say, his current watch is speeding up and asking to be retired. Although his birthday isn’t for two more months, I decided it was time to get him a new, gorgous watch for his birthday. As we shopped around and found the watch he wanted, something in the display caught my eye! A beautiful watch! A unique, silver-colerd, decorative bracelet-like watch… just my taste! At the rist of breaking my even dozen set of un-worn and un-loved watches, Kris bought me a thirteenth watch.

I love my new watch, I guess it was time to have one again. I have been wearing it for the last couple of days and have enjoyed looking at my wrist to know the approximate time, as a watch with only 12:00, 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00 keeps me guessing a bit. Needless to say, I’m back in the flow of time.

I awoke this morning wondering how it is that I have made it to appointments and kept life on schedule and on time with no watch for the last ten years. Because one of my first thoughts as I brushed my teeth and was waking up was about putting my watch on.

And the answer came in a heartbeat. I have stopped watching time and have been keeping in tune with it instead. I have stopped keeping watch over my life and my doings and I have instead begun keeping them. Keeping them has meant taking care of my life and myself, doing my best to do what I need to do without measuring for success or judging the incorectness of things. Instead I have been loving and appreciating my life, my gifts and my experiences as best I can so that I see improvements, expansion and love coming forth. These later things are the ones I now watch for.

The You On A Tropical Vacation

On vacation we just aren’t ourselves. That is truly one reason we go on vacation.

Because everything is energy first, different places hold different energies, which is really why we go to them. After all, we are looking for a change of scenery, a change of pace. These truly mean that we are looking for a different rhythm, different from our daily routine.

We tend to be attracted to beautiful, magical vacation spots because, after all, they are relaxing and revitalizing. On a good vacation we rest, we let go of our daily concerns and worries and we enjoy ourselves. In other words, we stop being the version of us who worries at home. We leave the version of us that perhaps saves money at home and the version that is busy being uptight. On vacation, at least to some degree, that goes because we are taken with our new environmen, and it’s energy.

Getting away for a trip, especially to a location with a higher vibrating energy, lets us become a version of ourselves that we like more. We can’t help it because we get more into our flow. We tend to slow down on vacation and explore more of ourselves through our interests, the activities,, the food and even the shopping we do. Haven’t you ever bought something wild, like a flowered Hawaiian shirt, that you normally wouldn’t buy at home? It’s because you are tapping into the more lively or colorful you.

Dawn of a New Day

As I come out to my ramada in my front yard for breakfast, I see that I am not the only one begining a new day. I see that the chickens are looking for breakfast and exploring their world… though their area in the front yard hasn’t changed. I see the plants and trees in the front yard waking up, looking for a drink of water and stretching and opening their leaves.

It is a new day with new opportunities, and yet some of the old baggage from yesterday seeks to follow me. This I do not like. I see that worries from yesterday and unresolved issues accompany me, opening to the new day just like the leaves on my plants. This opening is unwelcome.

Today I want to be the real me. Today I want to connect with my Soul, my true spirit. I want my authentic self to shine her joyful, light-hearted and imaginative self through. She is unlimited and has amazing days, whereas the baggage lady has dull, heavy and difficult days. This is not me, not by any means.

One of the trees we planted two seasons ago calls to my attention. It is a golden honey locust so called because the new growth on this tree is yellow-gold and only turns green when it gets a bit more mature. She is getting full and has golden coloring all around her edges… and I wonder, when will she be fifteen feet high? When will she be a fully mature tree? When will she truly be a successful transplanted tree? And I realize I’m asking when she can be judged as a complete tree. But she has called to me to point out that I am seeing her in an incorrect light. She was an end-of-season sale tree that looked like she might not make it to see the next season. She had few leaves and branches and, at best, she was a three and a half foot tall twig. In establishing herself in the ground she has not grown too much and is only about five foot now, but the ghostly twig of two seasons ago has vanished and in it’s place is a beautiful, shinning little tree.

And she tells me that it is not the destination, but the journey that is what matters, that the now moment is what counts, not what could be in the future. And I see that there is no telling how she will develop tomorrow or next season, nor does it matter. The truth is that when she is golden and reaching for the sky right now then there is no doubt tomorrow she is going to grow taller. That is because today is all that matters and today is a beautiful day to drop off any old baggage and limitations.

Today is a perfect day to be who I truly am: to have a golden glow around me, the ghosts of yesterday’s baggage forgotten. Letting everything that passed yesterday flow, like water flowing down stream. Once that water is gone, it is gone. Why do we, as humans, try to hold on to memories, ideas and other things that have passed? Why do we try to hold on to water? No wonder we only manage to strain our muscles and cuase ourselves stress.

No water holding for me today. Today I will allow yesterday’s bagage to flow downstream and I will focus on the golden glow of today. I will allow life to bring me gifts, joy and for my now moment, leaving the past and the future to the river of life.

Resistence-Free

“Your dreams are inevitable – how long it takes them to arrive is  just dependent on how much resistance you choose to hold.”

-The Oracle

I love what this world is coming to!

Yes, there are a lot of problems in the world, most of which are getting worse, but they are only getting worse because people have resistance.  You can just imagine what that the Law of Attraction does with that resistance!

The world is truly coming to a place where authenticity will be easier to find within ourselves and where being in our flow will become more and more normal. Authenticity is already natural, though most of us lose site of this and we become normal and in-authentic, like most others. So, you might say that our world is coming to a place where it is becoming easier to return to our natural state of being. That natural, authentic state of being is resistance-free, at which point our magnetism for attracting is huge.

Resistance is a block to our energetic flow. Resistances block the energy of our Source coming down to us, impeding our receiving that energy.

Why not have a resistance-free reality? Why not notice what is bothering you, what is rubbing you the wrong way and release the resistance? Why not allow yourself to be aware of the reistance you have to yourself, flow what you don’t like and come to a place where you love yourself? Love is the most powerful magnetic attractor.

Life is simple. Realizing a resistance-free reality is simple. Us coming to the place where we choose this isn’t necessesarily easy. But the world is helping us, with all its problems. The problems make it easier for us to realize we don’t need problems or resistance. Just joy and love.

And in joy and love we come to live a resistance-free reality!

Why is Resistance So Hard To Let Go Of?

The truth is there is only one reason: we don’t want to let go. Generally we don’t want to let go because we have a misperception within us that incorrectly thinks that if we are not resisting then we won’t get what we want? As if closing the door will allow new friends to come in! Sounds silly, I know, but that is what resistance does.

Stop and think about what you are resisting. I’m very sorry to say that most of us are resisting something all of the time. We are resisting being loved because we think we’ll be hurt; we resist having the life we want because subconsciously we are afraid of what we want. For example, I have a student who has a strong desire for a relationship. However, she is also very weary of men and their motivations. Under these circumstances, how will she be open enough to allow men to be themselves and to come forward in a relationship? Her resistance keeps her from allowing men to get closer to her. On the other hand, if she chose to let this resistance flow away then she would find several men knocking at her door.

Nothing to Fear

In my above example, my student resists relationship because she has been hurt in the past. However, why fear what you don’t want or what has happened in the past? Why resist what you desire  in the present? The only reason to resist your desires is because you are assuming that your desire will include something painful or unwanted. Why make that assumption? Why not paint a dream for yourself of your life the way you want it minus what you don’t want?

Your Source Energy does not seek to bring you a great life with a little torture on the side! Your Source Energy is you! It is important for you to know what you do and don’t want. Resist neither of them and then have the resistance-free and joyful life you dream of!

“Yours is not a life of perfection, but rather a life of refining.

To seek perfection is to seek something non-existent. Refine your thinking and the way you see your life by recognizing that things do not need to be perfect they just need to be improved.

To refine your energy and your self recognize your mistakes and appreciate them.

Allow mistakes to show you how to improve yourself, your life.

Don’t avoid, be embarrassed by or judge your mistakes because this will limit you.

Use your mistakes to improve your life just a little each day and you will find yourself moving to new levels.”

Today I allow my Source Energy to support me, as I take care of my family.

Today I allow my Source Energy to send me joy, as I laugh with  my daughter.

Today I allow my Source Energy to bring me health, as I prepare a healthy meal for my husband.

Today I allow my Source Energy to bring me desires, as I dream about my life.

Today I allow my Source Energy to bring me energy, as I attract the life of my dreams.

Today I allow my Source Energy to bring me challenges, as I unravel what gift my challenges hold for me.

Today I allow my Source Energy to bring me love, as I love my life.

Today I allow my Source Energy to bring me experiences, as I allow myself to experience them.

Today I allow my Source Energy to bring me sensations, as I allow my being to sense them.

Today I allow my Source Energy to bring me change, as I become Who I truly am.

Today was a wonderful day for no good reason.

Once upon a time – a terrible, uncomfortable and not so-fun time- I used to think that I needed certain things to be happy. There were  things I thought I needed like money, to be intelligence and to be loved by the right people. In other words, if I was doing things “right” then I knew I would be blessed by life. I would have a good life. Yes, I’m saying that I thought that these things outside of me would create happiness inside of me…

Well, once upon a time I was very unhappy. The things that I thought would make me happy or make me feel good were there sometimes and missing at other times but either way I was unhappy and certain life was not only not blessing me, but punihsing me daily! Ouch!

Tonight I watched Grey’s Anatomy and it was a wonderful episode. In the show everyone, of course, has their issues and their problems, but in today’s episode they put all of the ways life is “supposed to be” aside and instead allowed for a wonderful day. They each allowed for theirselves to let go of what they were grasping for in life – being a good doctor that doesn’t lose patience, being a person with money and such- and instead focused on what was there for them. Now they were enjoying something special and feeling good about life, regardless of what was wrong.

Today my daughter and I watered the plants. While I think life should be such that all my trees would be flourishing, I allowed myself to feel sad that two of our trees, including my favorite that I picked out at the nursery, are very likely dead. Very likely. Then I let this flow. And then I enjoyed the beautiful trees that we have.

Today I made lunch and dinner while trying to take care of 10 other things. While I think I would be happier with a maid and a cook, I let myself feel bombarded with life. Then I let this too flow, at which point I easily focused on the joy of the connection I feel with my family and I felt gratitude for the love in my life.

Today we went for a walk with the dogs. While I’m sure I should be walking more to get more exercise, I simply didn’t care. Instead I looked at my three year old and saw that she was really enjoying the dogs running and playing together so I told her that we should run and catch them. She thought this was great and laughed and laughed.

Sure, some things went “wrong” today and there were a few things I didn’t like. If I need to take care of something I will, but in the meantime I’ll let these things flow.

I’ll focus on the things that life did bring me today, the things that brought me joy. The things that made for a wonderful day. Today I allowed for a wonderful day.

Life isn’t perfect and it will never be what we think it should be. Nevertheless, in our Golden Flow(TM) we can allow for a wonderful day more and more often.
