Live your life in Alignment

When we live our lives in alignment everything seems to fall into place a little more seamlessly. Our spirit feels fuller, our bodies feel lighter and our path is right where it needs to be. 

Living in alignment simply means connecting with your higher self to tap into what your true calling is. Now, that does not mean that you have to live a perfect life. It means that you will fall, you have heart break, you will experience the trials and tribulations of life BUT with a little more grace. We are able to display "grace under fire" because we understand that life can be messy but what comes out on the other end is a beautiful work of art. Its the master piece of your life. The messy parts of life are our biggest teachers, we dive a bit deeper into who we really are and observe our strength and confidence.

Practise is the best way to live a life in alignment. This can be done through tapping into your body and deciphering what feels right when making decisions as oppose to simply going through the motions, making decisions based on what we should do or what others are doing. We tend to smother our quiet little whisper that is our spirit guiding us, giving us little clues and patterns of what our life's work is meant to be. There is no one-size-fits-all that works for everyone when it comes to exploring our inner calling, it takes some experimenting to see what feels right. A great place to start is quieting the mind, through mediation or getting out in nature and explore where you feel most connected to yourself. 

Once you feel where your sacred space is continue to visit it as often as possible, dont feel rushed into making decisions, wait and see what feels right for you. Once you start making decisions from true discernment it becomes easier and quicker to make decisions that come from your true, highest self. 

Focus on your goals and your feelings that you want to experience rather then the journey. Our life journey weaves in and out, has peaks and valleys and when we focus on our journey we might think that a little twist and turn is a sign that we are not on the right path but its just a minor set back or a different plan that our higher self has set out for us but our lower self is not yet aware of, so roll with it and explore. Remember, your mind is clouded with so much external conditioning that sometimes this prevents us from truly connecting with our self. When we have that feeling the "something is missing" generally its that we are out of alignment. 

Living from your heart not your head

What's the story you are telling yourself?

What's your story?

You are perfect....You are stunning....You are radiant.... Does this resonate with you? Is this the conversation you have with yourself when you are looking in the mirror? What do you tell yourself?

In a world that is showering us with images of outer beauty and dictating what it means to be successful; a beautiful house, a beautiful car, 2.5 children, the perfect husband, perfect skin, perfect hair, perfect clothing, perfect smile (heaven forbid you aren't smiling at all times). It is no doubt that we feel inadequate, we are striving for something that does not exist. What if I told you that being perfect was just being you, including all your flaws and all the struggles. These are the things that make you special and unique. Nobody else on this planet knows what it is like to be you. Nobody has the privilege to know what its like to walk in your shoes. This is your story....you can create it. Just like art, we can design our lives. Struggles are inevitable, they are events, they are chapters in your book of life that have a beginning and an ending. We can decide the meaning we attach to these struggles. We can decide the lessons we learn from them and then we can end that chapter and move on to the next.

So, ask yourself "Is the story I am telling myself bringing me peace and joy or is it bringing me turmoil and self loathing?" Its time to give up who you think you should be and connect with who you really are, the true authentic women you were born to be. Its time to remove the layers and let your radiance shine bright.

The Power of Words

"Sticks and Stones will break your bones but words will never hurt you"...FALSE! 

We are increasingly learning about the power of words and the damage it can do to an individuals psych-e or the damage it can do to an entire nation. Many experiments have been done demonstrating the harm that can be done by simple words. As demonstrated in the insert above both jars are filled with rice. The jar labelled 'hate' was told negative hateful words, on the contrary the jar labelled 'love' was told kind, loving words. The 'hate' jar deteriorated faster and filled with mold. This can be said for the words we use to each other, further the words we use to ourselves. We can simply change our lives by changing our words.
