Go Within to
Connect With Your Soul
VALERIE BLAKE LOWER
MID-SUMMER IS HERE as I write this, just before the celebration of Llamas or the
first harvest. It is hot and breezy and the earth is full and green with vegetation.
Crop stands are piled high with this yearís corn and tomatoes and cucumbers.
I love smelling the sun that ripened these good vegetables. In them, I can feel the
rich vibration of the earth, as she nurtured these wondrous creations. I take a breath
and remember to connect with my vibration each day.
As many of us have experienced, to get to this place of peace and tranquility I had
to go through some life changing experiences. I had to go from a place of constantly
being connected to what was going on "outside" of myself and feel so much
pain, that I had no choice but to go within in order for my spirit to survive.
Years ago, I was in management at a then very successful company. Many changes took
place and there were lay-offs for three years in a row. I looked around me at the
pain people were feeling, at the loss of enjoyment in job satisfaction, and how everyone
was so scared that they would be next. I was just beginning my spiritual journey,
so I didnít fully know all the principals of how things worked. What I did
know for sure, was that I was done with the corporate world after being in it for
15 years, and I needed to do something about it. To make a long story short, I laid
myself off. I saw that my salary could be distributed to help five people stay who
wanted to stay, and I could get a severance package that would be nice, and all would
be well.
I learned in that moment by going within and trusting the outcome, that I could create
what I wanted. I had a wonderful adventure from then on, finding what I love doing
in life and gaining even more than when I made a larger salary. The bumps in the
road led to more wondrous things to emerge. I claimed having a wonderful, loving
husband, and now I do! I wanted to live in a nice home on a lake, and I do! I wanted
to have my healing practice and write my articles and books, and I do! I wanted to
continue to have an incredible group of friends, and I do! And the list goes on.
Here are some ways I created this:
Yoga poses and stretching: It takes anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on
which poses I do. It helps me connect with my body and remember who I am and how
I feel each day. I am able to feel the coursing of the energy flowing through my
body, waking up, getting ready to help keep me in balance for the day. It quiets
me when I know I have a lot of busy-ness
Meditation: Come into that place of quiet and peace where you and spirit are at one
with your mantra. Where you can feel the loving kindness of the universe, so you
can know deep in your core that you are deserving. You need to feel and know that
you are worthy of receiving everything your heart desires.
Create your affirmation: Youíve probably heard this before, but only write
in the positive and begin your affirmation with "I am now." Bring it into
the present. If you write, "I am going to live on a lake," you will always
be "going to" and never actively live on that lake.
Visualize, visualize, visualize: Bring it into your conscious reality. I lead exercises
in the Creating What You Want in Your Life Playshop to not only help visualize, but
to help anchor your affirmation into your soulís knowing. Thereís a
lot of energy to be unleashed when you really anchor it into your being!
Just knowing that you get to have what you want because you are born, courageous
enough to have agreed to do this journey here, just knowing you deserve to live your
dreams here and now is the start to creating those dreams into reality. By listening
to the vibration of your soul, by going inward, you are connecting with a very precious
being who has all the answers you need. You get to co-create with the Divine and
bring to the world the essence of all that is you while receiving all that is yours!
Enjoy listening to the vibration of your soul! I assure you, you will NOT be disappointed!
