Manifestation is not the goal – it’s the fruits of something much larger.

October 18, 2013 by kwanyinhealing

How do I get what I want? How can I reach my goals? How can I manifest my desires?

Excellent questions, all. But why is it so difficult to get these energies to work for us?

Good news – it’s not because they aren’t working . . . it’s because we’ve got it backwards. Manifestation is the fruit…but it’s not the objective. By focusing on manifestation as objective, we inadvertently miss the mark.

We are, by nature, creators. It’s our role as part of the divine.

In our daily conscious vibration, we are aware of being body, emotion, and mind – the threefold reality of our earthly incarnations. We work from the level of the mind to bring ideas into the world, and, when melded with purpose and desire from the emotional level, we overcome whatever obstacles necessary to see this take form in physical shape.

Our souls, too, have a threefold nature. The “casual body,” really the very highest vibration of the mind, is the lowest part of the soul—it’s where body and soul connect (hence the causation of this vibration). The “heart” of the soul, most of it, is the Buddhic plane, the level of Intuition, and the highest part of the soul reaches into the Atma, where the divine and divine creation meet. Note the power of realizing this nature. The mind—our usual “go-to,” is the lowest part, corresponding in a sense to our lowest chakras and the creation of sexual energy. Most of the soul is heart/intuition, placed over mind, and the “mind” of the soul come from the divine. See yourself this way, from the soul level, and already your paradigms and approaches will need to change to meet this new sense of reality.

And the highest vibrations, the Divine? The highest is pure potentiality. The middle is the divine spark. And the lowest is the emergence of form – again, similar and corresponding to the casual body and to sexual creation. But this is the meaning behind the 333 vibration, the number of ascension and mastery. We are a threefold creation of a threefold universal totality. And it all flows from pure potentiality through divine spark into form. That’s also why Intuition comes in a flash, corresponding to the divine spark. Literally, what we imagine can come into fruition – and manifestation is indeed the fruits, the child, the end result of recognizing and living in/vibrating to the reality of our divine nature.

This is reflected too in the Hero’s Journey. Joseph Campbell notes that the journey is not to escape the ordinary world for the magical world of spirit, but rather to face our challenges and to bring back the Ultimate Boon to share with the Village. And the highest of ultimate boons is Awareness – the realm of the Atma, or union with the divine. This is the real nature of manifestation.

So don’t settle for the status quo. Don’t bury your desires. Don’t justify your fears and uncertainties. For these urges aren’t crazy thoughts or unrealistic dreams – they are urging you to go for them, because this is your unique path to discovering the divine for yourself, and then sharing that unique experience of the divine that only you can have with the rest of us. This is the point of manifestation. The fruits come from the union with the divine.

So be joyous and manifest!

Moving past Stress and Overwhelm

October 18, 2013 by kwanyinhealing

When we feel overwhelmed, we need to understand that overwhelmed is a feeling, and feelings can be changed by changing our paradigms.

“I’m just overwhelmed!”
“All I do is work!”
“Something’s gotta give!”

Any of that sound familiar? You’re not alone.

I. The first and most important point is that “overwhelmed” is not a situation. It is not just how things are. No. It’s a feeling. You are feeling overwhelmed. Perhaps for good reason–but it’s still a feeling, not an objective reality. And feelings can be changed–if you want to change them. Why “if”? Because often people like to feel overwhelmed. No, overwhelmed is not a nice feeling, but being overwhelmed often gives people a sense of importance, a work ethic, an identify. And that they like. I know people, and you do too, who would find a way to be frazzled if living in luxury on a Pacific island. Overwhelmed is a feeling, and if you want, feelings can be changed.

II. Next come three areas commonly ignored, three areas to stop and examine.

1) Stop trying to do everything yourself.

Ego, pride, embarrassment, and probably a few other emotions commonly stand in the way of this simple and frankly obvious point. You are not, whatever you try to tell yourself, the only one who can do what you’re trying to do. Stop going it alone. Whether lending a hand, or offering advice, or even just encouragement or camaraderie, an ear to listen…let other people help you. In fact, ask them to help you. And if you just don’t want to, face up to the reality that you’ve not overwhelmed, but stubborn. Forget the lone wolf argument–people are social creatures, and interaction with each other is how we are wired. Even people like me and you, who like our quiet alone time. Let others help you–they will be delighted.

2) Stop trying to control everything.

Or put another way, instead of asking yourself “What should I do about this?” ask yourself “Why do I have to do anything?” The Universe will continue without your aid. People will still breathe in and out. The sun will still rise and set. You are not the Boss of Everything. Let it go. Life will become so much easier, and run so much more smoothly, when you simply allow it to do so. Life existed before your arrival, and will continue when you’re gone.

I love the beginning of Ken Blanchard and Spenser Johnson’s “The One Minute Manager”: Typically, a manager is seen as someone torn in multiple directions, finger on every pulse, but a good manager is standing around the office with little to do–because everything is running smoothly without the manager’s immediate input. We tend to think of “making” things happen, by force. Instead, allow things to happen.

3) Stop taking on too much.

This ain’t rocket science. If you’re feeling overwhelmed because you have too much to do, you’re taking on too many things. Duh. Stop it.

Sure, I get that there’s a lot to do, and that a lot of it is important. But it makes no sense to daily plan what can’t possibly happen and then beat yourself up for not accomplishing what had no chance of getting down from the start.

If you’re doing too many things, do fewer things. Prioritize. If that means less than you want to do, fine. But decide which to do and do it, and feel glad of a good day’s work.

Remember–overwhelmed is a feeling; you at least will stop feeling overwhelmed.

III. And finally, there’s a difference between time management and getting unstuck from what we’re managing.

First, time management. Lots of help available here. Probably at the top of the list is Stephen Covey’s approach, laid out in his book First Things First. This, however, is far more than allocating the 168 hours of each week into the various pieces that make up your time life.

Covey suggests turning first not to the clock, but to the compass, that is, not to juggling minutes, but considering principles. Where do you want to go? What are your objectives? What is important to you in this life? Those are your organizing principles. Thus, your “big rocks” get placed first, then medium rocks, then smaller rocks, then pebbles, then sand. But don’t let a sandstorm keep you from getting to the big rocks. The important things–like relationships, or your children, or someone who needs help–take precedence.

OK, that’s an important start–but you’re still left with only so many hours in the day.

You need a paradigm shift.

Six Days, Six Sessions, Six Paradigm Shifts

I see a lot of people, through my website, Facebook, YouTube, referrals, introductions and so forth, and I see many of them struggling with exactly the same six blockages — these six sessions topics. Watching this is painful. I want to help. Kwan Yin Healing has a mission, sharing that life is supposed to be happy, healthy, fulfilled, and not someday, but now, today. You need only learn how.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

Each of these are at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, roughly 60 minutes.

Registration is free: http://www.kwanyinhealing.com/six-days.php

Share this with your friends, family, and associates, via email, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, stagecoach, carrier pigeon, smoke signals, semaphore or Morse code — they can register too, same link, no cost.

Sure, I trust many of you will find in these seminars the message and results you’re seeking, and continue on from the Kwan Yin Path to join the November launch of the Kwan Yin Journey. But even for those who, for whatever reason, choose not to pursue this yet, my vision is for you to still gain valuable, actionable content you can apply to your life immediately.

Love and Light,

Listen to your Heart — but How?

October 16, 2013 by kwanyinhealing

Our emotions are mirrors of what we’re thinking and attracting in each moment.

As such, these emotions are useful indicators, a feedback loop showing just where we’re stuck and why.

Once we get that we are not our thoughts, we can understand our emotions as the feedback mechanism reflecting our thoughts, but even once we wrap our heads around that concept (ironically trying to understand a larger world than our heads with must our heads), we still are likely to have trouble separating ourselves from our emotions. E-motions—emissions that move us to action (or at least responses)—seem to be much more than that.

This crazy guy again, with a short video about Emotional Challenges and Fear–click image to play.

We can understand our physical pain, as in placing a hand on a hot stove, is not us, but something we experience as important feedback. That’s a harder distinction, however, when that feedback is continual. People in chronic pain, for example, often struggle to remember that they have pain, and not that the pain has them.

The same is true of emotional feelings—they are feedback. But it’s damn hard to take an objective view of a difficult emotional time while living through it at the time. Still, to the degree we can recognize that challenging emotions are reflections of poorer quality thoughts, we begin to have the tools to address these tough emotions with better thoughts creating better quality emotions. When we feed our bodies poor quality food, we don’t feel as well. When we feed our psyches with poor quality thoughts, likewise, we aren’t going to experience good feelings.

We understand from meditation that we can find peace amid our thoughts; we sit quietly, let the mind come to rest, and slowly calm the mental turmoil–yet we have tremendous difficulty doing this emotionally. Try this—do a heart “meditation.” Forget about the mind; sit quietly with your heart energy, and let it grow calm. Don’t think about it or “listen” for messages—that’s going back to thinking about it. Just let it be still, and just be. It’s a powerful refocusing. Your whole body energy will shift noticeably, and you’ll find distance from what had seemed sticky emotional trials.

Let the heart come to rest, and feed yourself better thoughts; at first, the negative emotions will continue to taint the results. . .but keep at it—gardens don’t grown abruptly. Keep pursuing better feeling thoughts, and gradually you’ll find yourself in a better emotional state.

Living Abundance — being time rich in limitless, prosperous love

October 13, 2013 by kwanyinhealing

When we think of abundance, the first thought is often of money. And abundance includes that–but money is a different vibration than abundance, and the confusion keeps people from realizing either.

Money is a concept, not a thing. It’s an accounting construct. It helps quantify value, presenting an effective medium of exchange and a way to store economic wealth. Like the Zen saying reminds us, “the finger pointing at the moon is not the moon.” Likewise, money is a measure, not abundance itself.

**Set an intention! Sounds good, right?** And it is…but just like spring planting, not if the ground isn’t prepared for that intention to prosper. Before love can manifest as intention, we need the ability to transform, and even before that, we need an accurate awareness of what’s happening in our lives and minds–which can be quite a challenge.

**Set a specific amount and a specific date! Also good advice . . . but it’s not the first step.** That’s a plan…not the goal. Here’s why.

What is it you want? More importantly, why do you want it? If it’s an increase in income, is it to compete, is it for security, is it for travel or a new house, is it to send the kids to college — what is it for you? Then, whatever your answer, why do you want what you said in your offer? If you want security — why? What would that do for you? If that’s so you can move forward in confidence with your dreams, for example, then in turn, what does that movement do for you? And whatever that is, what does the new answer do for you–why do you want that? Keep going…at some point, you’re going to start to see (1) what’s really driving you and (2) that this is your path to anything being possible. Do it–you’ll see.

Do the same for what you love, and why. **As adults, we’ve trained ourselves to ask for not what we would love, but for what we believe is possible.** Consequently, we limit ourselves to a scarcity mindset before we even begin. And, intention will never work well when it’s not congruent with what we truly love at our core. Again…you’ll see. Do it. Find yourself again.

**Abundance is limitless, not an amount.** I don’t want a certain number of trees in the forest or stars in the sky — I want to see them without end, countless. That’s abundance. Think “river.” It’s not that a certain amount of water is coming, but that it is continually coming. If we panic and try to hold it in fear more will never come, we’ll have a flood. And if we live downstream from scarcity mentality, we’ll have a drought. Outflow and service is as important as inflow. So is purpose–if the bank doesn’t limit the waters, we’ll have a swamp instead of a river.

The same is true of resources like time. **We literally have all the time there is–all of it!** How cool! Yet we continually insist it’s a scarce commodity. It’s not–we just make careless choices. Lay out your ideal schedule, and then follow it. Whatever isn’t fitting, you shouldn’t be doing–stop taking on other people’s stuff, learn to delegate effectively, and turn to community instead of being a one-person show.

**Similarly with love–“love is all there is” is literally true, as light, information, love, energy are all the same.** Reality is made of love. That we’re even able to disconnect ourselves from feeling it is perversely amazing, and shows the tremendous power of our creative minds–power we can use to more effective ends.
