In the meantime!!

Well it has been a while since my last post, but I am back now for today at least.

So there are some things in life which you just cannot deal with when you are ready to deal with them, either because there are other factors i.e. people involved that hold the process up or just because something or other will not come together. I know you have days like that, and quite frankly if you don't then I would really love to be your friend!!

So what is the best way to deal with those annoying things which cannot be completed or dealt with when you decide it should be done, well I have "invented" a universal cookie jar called "in the meantime" and mentally I put things in there that I have no control over (it is quite a big jar as you can imagine!!!) and when I have mentally put the "whatever" in there I let it go and then get on with my life leaving the universe to sort it out for me. It is a real stress releaser and works wonders when there is just so much in the "to do" box to achieve.

So give it a try use the cookie jar today and see how much your stress decreases, your worry decreases and your happiness and attention to the now increases.

So if you ask yourself the question "is there anything more I can do with this ..." and the answer is no then put it in the cookie jar and say something like I hand this over to the universe to sort out.

Let go and see what comes back to you - you may even experience a miracle!!!

Letting go

A client called me the other day and asked this question "Mia how do I let go" and "how will I know when I have let go".

Excellent questions as letting go is not really a tangible thing to do well not when it involves emotions, thoughts, and pysical aspects such as pain for example.

So here are a couple of methods which I use and coach others to use, however they are just guidelines so have fun and make your own version up.

If the mind thinks it is not tangible it makes letting go appear more difficult than it actually is, so one method is to close your eyes and imagine to your best ability that you have a huge balloon in your hand and you are able to put the issue you wish to let go of into that balloon then blow it up with helium, tie a beautiful ribbon onto it and imagine yourself letting it go.

If you don't mind getting in tune with your inner child, then go and do it for real, I have done this on many occasion, buy a helium balloon and go to a local park or really open space and write your "issues" in indelible marker pen all over the balloon and then let it go. Doing it in reality is a little more difficult and many have said that they actually feel the emotion leaving their body, and then get really emotional which is just great. Try it, it brings about a huge sense of freedom.

Another technique I have used with clients is to write the words of the issue or write out the whole issue onto paper and then go into a safe place and burn the paper fully, it is said that your messages get sent to the universe in the smoke. With this one my messages on the paper have done there best to blow away from me and I have been seen running around the park chasing the peice of paper to ensure that it burns fully. I have also had paper which has refused to burn which led me to spray an accelerant onto it. But please use your noddle when doing this, but the message in there is that you are resisting letting the issue go. So bare that in mind when using this method.

As for knowing when you have truly let something go, I have found that when someone else asks for assistance on the very subject which you have let go of or when you are faced with the very same scenario which you were letting go of and you find that you achieve a much better outcome. Total result which ever way it goes.

So get out there on the next full moon and use either or of the above techniques, or make your own up and remember it is not just about letting go, it helps if you do other processes such as forgiveness, and visualisation.

But good luck and have fun. You really do not have to carry around bags of rotten old vegetables with you every where you go. Just think about that.

Mind chatter

Today I took some time out from my chattering mind and sat by the canal, just watching other people go about there day and allowing myself to have no thoughts, none, nada, not one, wow how difficult is that?

I only managed stillness on the odd ocassion as the mind always wanted to think something about what I was gazing at even if it is just an observation about looking at a person.

It was an amazing process, and revealed an awful lot about myself and how others are.

Then I thought, oh there I go again thinking!

What if I throw a thought in the way of a question out to a complete stranger, just to see what happens, and then I remembered what an Aboriginal had taught me - when you throw a boomerang out it will come back to you. But I was really interested to see the response of the stranger to whom I had randomly thrown a question to about something going on in my life currently, which to date I have not come to a conclusion or answer about.

My theory behind using a complete stranger was to see their response as they are not emotionally involved in the process or experience, and it was really interesting.

Having had that experience, I decided to continue on my journey to explore for the truth and answer if there was one even.

So off I went again to another place, to continue my game but this time watching out for universal answers to my question.

I saw two swans, loads of butterflies which were all extremely close to me, ducks, swallows, and a buzzard. Now the buzzard was the one which really caught my attention as it was flying so low over my head I could see its eyes, this is very unusual for a buzzard. So I knew that this was symbolic to my answer.

Even the experience helped me remember so much about what I love about life, and then something else got my attention.

I was walking very slowly by the canal, and a little girl no more than 5 years old ran in front of me, stopped dead and looked me up and down, and then ran off. It was the most bizarre thing, as it was so accurately done there was no mistaking the experience for anything other than what it was. Her mother passed me seconds later and looked as me apogising like there was no tomorrow. First thought was I wondered the reason she felt the need to apologise and that was clear she felt so embarassed about the way the inocent little girl had stared me up and down.

I laughed and thought it really amazing, but there was a very strong message there for me personally and I got it. Sorry too personal to share with you at this stage.

Wow so what a truly amazing day, the message of buzzard which again is personal to me and therefore only I will understand its meaning, hence no explanation, and then the little girl.

The reason I am saying all this too you is to allow you to see that there are always signposts and directions for things happening in your own life if you just wake up and look for them.

All this from my morning statement of "Wow I am having a fantastic day" and clapping my hands before I get out of bed.

Setting my day up for amazing fantastic experiences to happen all around me, and for me to be observant enough to get them. So amazing.

Try it, if it does not happen the first time just do it again and again and eventually like anything it will become more natural and familiar to you. Enjoy.

The Weather

Wondering what the topic of the day would be soon became very clear, yes it is the weather. I spoke to a few people today and within every one of those conversations the weather appeared to be an issue for each and every one of them.

Now I have a few theories when it comes to the weather, and all of them relevant, but today's story goes a little like this.

"Hey Mia what is up with the weather"?

"Julie I have no idea what is up with it but, I believe that the weather is just being the weather, it doesn't look as though it has got the flu or anything to me".

"Yes but it is awful isn't it Mia"

"Julie I think the weather is beautiful"

"Mia are you in this country"?

"Yes Julie I most certainly am, but let me just try something I am going to the 15th floor of this building which I am in at the moment, and hey Julie the weather is the same up hear you know! and hey without the weather british people would have little to converse about, It's too hot v it's so miserable, wet and cold and the poor weather gets blamed for an awful lot of misery don't you think, my other thought is you choose to live here so quit moaning about the weather it is part of Britain being Britain".

"Oh Mia it just makes me feel so miserable"

"Julie please explain how is that at all possible? that in actual fact is a total impossibility"

"Well Mia it is so grey and windy and wet"

"Yes Julie I totally agree with you, however it is your choice to feel miserable nothing to do with the weather, so just for a second I would like you to close your eyes (obviously this was in verbal dialogue, so if you close your eyes now you will not be able to read the rest of the conversation!!) and just imagine that you have no fears of flying etc and you are 35,000 feet in the air drifting through the expanse of clear blue sky with the sun shining out across the expansion of nothingness with white fluffly clouds below you - wow how different does that make you feel, begin to feel the warmth of that sun upon your body, the colour blue embraces you to feel uplifted and calm, you feel bright and clear like the sky, oh my, doesn't that feel so wonderful Julie, now just come back into the now".


"Oh I really wanted to stay there it was so much better than looking at our weather Mia, but I do feel brighter"

"Julie you can go anywhere you choose in your imagination, and by doing that it can shift your perception and how you feel in a moment"

So off Julie went thinking about the expanse of blue sky of sun which is always there but is just not visible to us today here in the earth plane, but it is never not there.

Shift your perception today, and allow that warmth of the sun and the clear blue sky shine from within you, and see how much better you feel within yourself.

People, the weather is just doing what the weather does, so quit going on about it, it does not matter how much you go on about it, the weather is still going to do what the weather does. And if you put as much focus on your inner sun and brightness as you do the weather then you would not even take any notice of what the weather is doing, and be in a state of uplifting harmony.

So if you choose to be happy and bright guess what, the weather is still going to do what the weather does, so is it not better to choose happy and bright over dull and miserable?

I know which one I am.

No beginnings and no end

I was speaking with a client the other day, and they said that they had become stuck in a particular area of their life, or at least that was their perception, and had no idea where to begin in putting it right or making it better.

I get asked this a lot and have often found myself saying the very same thing on occassions in my own life, and then realise that I know the answer well at least a bit of it, or enough to get me moving again.

A shamen that I had the honour of working with taught me that there is no beginning and no end and that life is a wheel that continues to move like the earth rotating around the moon or whatever way round it goes, but I think you get what I mean.

So based on the theory that there is no beginning or start and no end as it is a continuous cycle of events, then just by taking action where you are at the current time of thinking that something should be done is the only thing which you should and can do, then you have "begun" another journey to a different destination which holds a different outcome for you.

Of course then there is the other issue about what ending is it that you really wish to create, but if you are looking for the best place to start then stop right there as there is no start, it is just now and now is the only place to begin.

Patterns from the past

Hey you know what it's like when you have a story from the past which just keeps on making itself known to you, when you really thought that you had dealt with it and moved on.

Well have I got news for you....

....it is energy and the reason it is still causing you issues or is replaying aspects of it out in your life now is because there is something which you still have to learn from that experience.

I have a profound way of dealing with such issues, actually I have a few really profound methods, but the one I would like to share with you is the one which I have used with 5 people in the last couple of days.

All of them have contacted me with similar stories which was the first bizarre thing, and then I shared with each of them one of the methods which I use personally, and each of them were relieved that there was something so easy and not complicated to fix these pesky experiences.

Each person was so excited with what I had shared with them, that they were encouraged by that excitement to begin straight away.

I am not saying that your situation or experience is simple, nor am I saying that it is not emotionally overwhelming, but what I am saying is that there is a way to fix it.

So contact me and I will share this amazing method with you - go on what have you got to loose? and what have you got to gain?

I will leave it with you to make the decision which could just change your life for good.

New Moon Eclipse

If there is going to be a day which is seriously good and wonderful for taking our past or at least the bits we are not happy with and kick it into touch once and for all, metaphorically exploding it out into the ethers then this is it.

The New Moon eclipse gives us the opportunity to spring board into our future. It may offer a life changing experience or maybe just something important - or it could be something which completely and mind blowingly turns your life upside down!

The Archangel in charge of the eclipse is Muriel, and the moon is going through Cancer which is about nurturing, home, all things associated to family, emotions and sensitivity and it rules the stomach and breast areas of the body.

Eclipses are really important, they are portals in the ethers which come together and offer us the opportunity to leap through them from one reality into another.

The New moon also brings her gifts in allowing us the opportunity to make wishes, this is available to us each and every month, but this one is extra special because of the eclipse. So take full advantage of this FREE universal service which is being offered on a plate to you.

And for those who have the gifts of reiki build that crystal grid and get wishing.

God/dess luck to everyone and enjoy Grandmother moon she has so many blessings to offer us.

Patience and detachment

Both two very interesting words, so how do they work in a full sentence when you are about to become so frustrated you want to scream and then some, and the more you become frustrated the more it seems to be going in the wrong direction as in not getting better or going how you desire it to, and the more it goes wrong the more frustrated and aaargh you get.

Mmmm I believe that is where patience and detachment come into there own. Breathing helps as well, but for now the lesson is to be patient and detachment from the emotions that are making you feel frustrated and aaargh.

So when things like being stuck in a traffic jam due to an accident and you are on the way to a really important client and about to close the deal which means that you are financially secure for the next however many months, or a computer just won’t do what you desire it to do there are two choices and many blessings.

Actually there are always two choices in anything, now the first choice is that you can react or you can respond. Now as you guessed the react brings about negative feelings like frustration, anxiety, tension, stress, overwhelm, etc. Whereas, respond brings about relaxation, freedom, calmness, clarity etc.

So just based on that I know which one I would choose.

Then there are the blessings so for scenario 1 above it could be the blessing that it is not you who has been involved in that accident and that you will still get to your appointment, maybe not when you choose to but you will, or that the accident has actually stopped you from having an accident by making you either slow down or stop completely.

Scenario 2 offers the blessings that maybe to stop blaming the computer for just doing what the computer is programmed to do, and accept that it is doing what it is doing because it is a computer, and drop into peace, peace being what it enables you to drop into because it is going wrong or not doing what you desire it to do. And what if it is allowing you to see your response to such a dilemma, and it is that response in which you should be taking notice of not what the computer is doing.

So next time, that you have a lift glitch, a computer glitch, a traffic jam, a long queue at the post office maybe just maybe it could actually be sending you a message.

Be patient and detach your emotions from the situation, this releases the negative vibrations which will hold it in place for longer and allows new lighter fresher vibrations to speed things along without all the drama from you being attached to it.

How serious should life really be?

So what have you done recently that was fun and how long did it last for before you had to be serious again?

Or have you been serious for so long that you have almost forgotten what it is like to have fun?

And yes I am talking about that inner child that still desires to have fun.

When was the last time that you walked in the rain and allowed yourself to get totally soaked through, it is a great refreshing feeling. Go on I dare you to try it next time we have a downpour.

When was the last time you sat on a swing in the park?

Or even got the colouring book out and just coloured for a couple of hours?

Your inner child is still a child and still requires nurturing through life, don’t leave him/her in the closet and forget all about the fun they so love to have.

It is great fun, to have a toy box and keep your colouring books in, or a kite, or even a skipping rope. Go on who is stopping you from still enjoying life. Children never go around being miserable when they are having fun. Watch a Disney DVD Hook is a great one for magical inspiration. Sorry the video would not upload so here is the link:

When was the last time you had a picnic, or made a tent and just sat in the garden with your thoughts, or sat in front of an open crackling fire (obviously safety rules do apply to that if you are outside) but it is great. When I was in Australia I learnt from an aboriginal that the natural thing to do when they moved to new ground was to light a fire. It connects you to life, and it is so true.

Just for today, play and have some fun, laughter is a good therapy on its own, but allowing yourself the time to play is so uplifting. Go on give yourself permission today to do something with your inner child.

Having a bad day?

So it is one of those days where everything is going wrong, and you feel that there is nothing on your side.

What if that was perfect, what if that was exactly what was supposed to have happened or be happening.

Then you say so if that is the case what is the point?

Well there is always a purpose to everything which happens, whether you are aware of it or not.

That purpose could be that you have to learn something which is going to benefit you now and in the future.

Even the wrong things in life are in actual fact - perfect and right. They are timed in precision with Universal Law.

So does this happen to you and if so how do you deal with it all? what do you do? Post a comment and let me know your story.

So who are you?

who am I?

What is my purpose?

Am I happy with every aspect of my life today?

Have you ever thought about that question or something similar?

And what answer did you come up with?

And what steps have you taken to ensure that you get a different outcome?

Well I know from experience that you can work all the hours god gives you, you can earn a stupidly huge amount of money for your efforts, you have the house of your dreams, the partner of your dreams, and still something is missing.

Does that sound familiar to yourself or someone that you may know?

So how can that be if you have everything that life can offer you and then some and still feel that something is missing?

The answer to that is within you, it does not come from money, partners, career, houses, or anything material for that matter.

I met someone through coaching who had the above in ways that were almost impossible to imagine and this person continued to produce amazing results in many areas of life, and then came to me and said "but I am not happy - I do not feel fulfilled - I still feel empty".

So if this is something you are or have experienced, then please do get in touch.

Listening and hearing skills

So here are the tips to increase your listening and hearing skills:

Focus
Pay attention to what is being said to you, do nothing else give it your 100% attention.

Tone of caller
Listen to the emotion of the caller through the tone of their voice.

Ask relevant questions
This gives you the opportunity to let your caller/person know that you are hearing and listening to exactly what they are saying, and also to get a better understanding of the situation.

Do not interrupt
Allow the caller/person to finish what they are saying before you begin speaking.

Do not pre-empt
You have no idea what is going to be said so do not pre-empt any conversation listen to what is being said to gain full facts.

Re-cap
Go over facts and confirm what you have already understood of the conversation get clarification.

Always have a pen and paper
Take notes of important facts, so that you can re-cap correctly including the name of the person you are having the conversation with.

Ask for a repeat
If you miss heard or did not understand fully then ask them to repeat what they have said to ensure that you allow 100% comprehension.

Even if you don't get to do every one of these tomorrow, incorporate at least one of them that you may not already use and encourage others to do the same.

Then we may all get to have pleasant telephone experiences.

Are you hearing me?

Have you ever been in the position on being in a conversation with someone maybe an individual on a personal level or with a business associate or with a company and they do listen to anything you are saying to them, or in fact not hear anything you have said to them.

How many people in this world have the gift of having ears and not just one, but two but never use them to their full potential?

I have come across so many people who readily do not listen to what is being said to them, and they only hear the story in their head about the situation, and I have been contacted today by a client who asked the very question “what is the reason nobody listens to what I am saying to them”

So do you use your listening and hearing skills to their full potential?

If not then what is the reason for that?

The meanings are clear so what is the reason people choose not to use these profound skills? – is it because they are more visual than auditory? Or is it something to do with responsibility? maybe it is about them not paying attention in a way that is necessary in order to hear and listen to what is being said?

Listening is to pay attention, or take note.

Hearing – is paying attention, take notice of, be informed, be made aware, find out, gather information, understand, consider.

It is a real art and skill to be able to fully utilise the potential but not impossible, the meanings are self explanatory but the outcome appears to be somewhat lost in the fog.

If your skills are not as good as they could be then what are you going to do about that?
I will leave those questions with you, and Monday I will post 8 steps to increase your listening skills.

Until then enjoy your day, and enjoy life that is what it is there for.

What is Divine Manifesting

In every moment we are manifesting,through every choice and decision that we make, and with every feeling, thought, and reaction, and with every desire which you set into action.

It is your consciousnes, awareness, understanding and also your inner light which determine what you are going to manifest and then experience in the physical.

Divine manifesting is not about compromise, it is about creating the life you love, experiencing satisfying relationships, and a good quality of life, pleasurable activities, and fantastic work.

It entails creating a life of love, harmony, joy, peace, inspiration, freedom and wholeness.

It comes with finding the inner space from which all divine manifesting takes place, this centre is filled with illumination and stillness, and it is in this space that you connect with your Divine self.

Despite what your beliefs are about the "Divine" I guarantee you with all my heart that this is the only space that allows you to manifest, despite where you think you have or may have manifested from before.

So just take those blinkers off for a moment, and think about what you have just read.

To create all those wonderful harmonious things into your life and replace the old tatty out grown aspects that no longer serve you but you continue to hang onto because that what humans do, then ask yourself this question:

Am I ready to awaken to the life that awaits me? Yes or No?

Is there something in my life that I am still not completely happy about? Yes or No?

Be honest with yourself because the only person you will be lying to you is yourself.

Then get onto my website for more information of how I can assist you to get to that inner space and create that happiness or balance, or love, or new job that you are passionate about and have always dreamed of having, any of those thing which you are so longing for, let me assist you onto that pathway of satisfaction, peace and harmony.

Give yourself the opportunity to expand yourself on every level of your body and mind.

This blog is going to be packed with information and help for everyone who desires to find a better life for themselves and that could be in terms of quality or satisfaction, or something they have been looking to achieve for many years but have not been able to for whatever reason, or for those who just find life interesting, maybe they are already happy and satisfied with everything in their life currently, but they just may know someone who isn't and they can recommend this blog and my website to others.

It is still a work in progress but please stay with me for the journey of a lifetime, you will not regret it.
