2. Acceptance

2. Acceptance

.... Acknowledge and accept where you are now.

Acceptance sounds so easy, but it is difficult. Most of us struggle with our feelings when we try to accept where we are in life.

Many of us have glorified ideas of where would be and what we would ‘have’ at this time.

It may be a project we thought we would have completed by now. It may be a physical goal that we set for ourselves. You may have enthusiastically adhered to your new year’s resolutions for the first 8 weeks of 2017. Only to find another area of life taking up your time and attention and quickly your resolution for better health dropped away.

I’m GUILTY!! I am not immune to the old ‘I thought I would be better now, achieved more by now, and be happier by now’ realisation.

Now, I’m not going to ask you to bounce out of bed tomorrow and go finish the unfinished jobs, re-join the gym, quit your job, get a new job or end a toxic relationship. No No No! Quite the opposite.

I want you to sit with it. I just want you to look at where you are right now, in all aspects of your life, job, relationship and health. Just observe, and notice how you feel about each area……….

Are you buzzing with excitement? because you did make changes and now you feel proud and exhilarated.

Or do you feel pangs of regret in your stomach? or even sadness? As some other life blocks, may have come out of nowhere and knocked you sideways. That’s ok. Feel that…. Just acknowledge whatever comes up for you.

Next, after acknowledging how you feel, and how things have turned out. I want you to consider this, this is the biggy……ACCEPTANCE!

I know I know, it pinches a little, right? and you may find yourself screaming f$%^, S#@$, pooh!!! That’s ok, I get it.

Moving on from that outburst. I want you to notice what feelings come up for you next? Have you accepted where you are? Have you looked at what didn’t go to plan? Can you recognise what other obstacles got in the road? Have you realised ‘why’ it didn’t happen?

Great! Cause next I would like you to sit with acceptance.

I accept that I allowed life to get in the road, that I chose to eat 3 pieces of peanut butter toast and gulp a large coffee every morning than eat healthy option of muesli or eggs.

I accept that my bed was way too warm, to drag myself out to go for a walk or get to the gym as I promised myself I would.

I accept that I ate copious amounts of chocolate when trying to push down emotions I couldn’t deal with as they arose.

But you know what, now that I’ve aired my confession, I feel great! Own it. I stuffed up! Never mind. This is where I am now!

BUT…. There is more to ending 2017 with grace…

Step 3. Letting go…. it’s so freeing! Coming soon….

Love and light,
Margaret

5 Steps To Letting Go Of 2017 With Grace. Step 1. Grieve

November 17, 2017 Margaret Moore

Step 1. Grieve

Grief is a heavy emotion, it really lowers our energy levels, when we are feeling deep loss and sadness.

Grief isn’t just for people or fabulous pets. You can grieve for relationships and friendships, and your hopes and dreams not coming into being.

When people we love pass over to the spirit world, it is incredibly sad for us; those that are left behind. For the person provided a myriad of things, love, friendship, care, acknowledgement and support. Having this person pass is a tremendous loss, and it can be very hard to process. Grief is a complex series of emotions. My advice to help the process is to simply allow yourself the time and space to grieve and to feel your emotions wholeheartedly.

Allowing yourself to feel, lets the emotional energy leave your body and not get stuck in your energy field (aura). When emotional energy stagnates, it can inhibit your growth and progress, and eventually lead to disease in your physical body.

Let the emotion out!

For those are grieving for your beloved pet, this can sometimes be more difficult than saying goodbye to our human loved ones. You have often lost a best friend like no other. Pets offer a space of unconditional love and acceptance. They provide solace for us. They are loving beings that we can tell anything to, things we can’t tell anyone else. Pets are the best therapy!

If you have lost your precious pet, my advice is the same, please allow yourself to feel.

I know this sounds relatively simple, but for a lot of people the feelings of loss and grief are just way too strong and overwhelming to process. Many people stuff these emotions down over and over again. Which will eventually lead to physical disharmony in the body.

Act of love- As an act of love to your loved ones lost. Light a candle. This can be a small tea light or a grand candle that you may wish to light many times in their remembrance. It is a lovely gesture. I promise they will be very close to you when you light this candle in their honour.

Once you have lit your candle, I’d love you to focus on the light at the centre of the flame. This is pure energy, healing energy. Focus on the bright light and allow it to penetrate into your body via your eyes. Soak up the light! This will do wonders for healing your heart. Let the light come in.

Sometimes we can’t feel our own light within when our emotions run high. This is one of those situations where you need to allow light in from other sources. The light is healing to you at an energetic level. Ways in which you can actively receive healing light is through candlelight, meditation, moonlight and sunlight.

I am sending you love from my heart to yours, to help you in your time of need and in your space of sadness. I honour those who have moved on to spirit, both our human & pet beloveds.

With love,
Margaret.

Step 2 Acknowledge and accept where you are........coming soon.

Strength

August 17, 2017 Margaret Moore

Strength. True inner strength has beauty within. It is the calm you see in someone's eyes that says “I have been down dark roads; I've climbed mountains of varying degrees of difficulty. I have gotten up and soldiered on when all my soul wanted to do was stay hidden in the safety of my blankets.”

It is an inner knowing, that they can deal with life when the going gets tough. When they feel pushed beyond their limits by people or commitments.

They’ve cried on the kitchen floor full of sadness and doubt, not knowing whether they have the strength to get up once more. But soon the floor feels cold and too uncomfortable to stay. So, they rise up, tentatively, but once standing they know they have only one choice; that is to keep going.

I love looking into people’s eyes and discovering their inner strength. These people have stories; they have wisdom to share.

Letting Go

June 30, 2017 Margaret Moore

Letting Go....

Hanging on is easy, letting go is hard.

It is easy for us to hang on to people, things, events, circumstances, and for a lot of us we are unaware we are doing it. What we may notice however is that we always feel two steps behind achieving our dream or having the life we dream of.

You may think you aren’t hanging on to anything, so check in with yourself by asking, “what stops me from doing what I love & following my dreams?” Your answer to this question IS the “thing” you are hanging on to.

E.g. For me, it was “The guy I loved, left me.” Bingo! Something I’m holding onto. Not him. But the him not wanting me part. The message I took from this situation was “I’m not good enough!” *wrong! I know that now.

Now that YOU know what you are holding onto, we need to find out what message, doubt or fear you have created about this person, time or event. This can take some digging, and I ask that you take the time to think about it, what subtle, subconscious message has arisen from this? sabotaging opportunities, people and events? Holding you back from reaching for your dreams or stifling a dream before it even gets the wings to fly?

My “I’m not good enough” message affected many situations, relationships and curbed many opportunities over the years. It has whirled around at the front of my mind at times, stopping me from starting something new, as this fear of not being good enough held me back. And subtly, the message was there even when I was unaware leaving a part of me hurting and feeling small. It has taken 10 years to realise that I was holding on to this message. And it isn’t easy to acknowledge the part I have played in keeping this inner message alive. It isn’t easy to look back at how things could have worked out.

Doing the inner work to clear negative thinking patterns, which clears the pathway for positive thinking takes time, commitment and honesty. It takes bravery and courage. But it is worth every minute as it gives you the chance to move forward, closer than ever to what you have always dreamed for yourself.

I ask you to forgive yourself too because if you had of known better you would have done better. You would have released this intruder thought back to the universe when it first presented itself. For it doesn’t belong nor is it welcome in your place of personal power, the kingdom of your mind.

For your mind is your most powerful tool, along with your heart, both so closely interconnected. Do not let these messages hold you back for one more day.

Free yourself from the pain, and the recurring thought. Be willing to move forward with open arms, ready to embrace new opportunities.

HOW?

You do this by replacing it with a more positive message. An affirmation of that which you are “divine, capable, loving & strong, creative, expressive, talented and wonderful” pick just one of these words to replace your old inner message, and you will be one step further along your journey of self-love and acceptance. Replace “I am not good enough” with “I am enough” or “I am deserving of true love”.

You are the master of your own mind. Be assured of this. You are in control of this, you have full control. Your mind is yours! Will you choose now as the time to start using it for your highest good?

Next, I will talk about your dreams and letting them out through the back door, to soar high in the sky, into the world of attraction, where people, places time and events will take place to give life to your dream.

But first, we must weed the garden of your mind, of past messages, and feelings of inadequacy. I know you are more than that, I know you can be that somebody. I know you have the vision of your highest self. I know you have a picture of what that dream looks like.

How much do you want this? How much will you believe?
I’m watching, I know you CAN!

Love and blessings.

Being Happy

June 25, 2017 Margaret Moore

To be happy.
To perpetuate more happiness into our vibe and how we feel.

The whole “happiness” feeling is based on feeling joy. Feeling Joy comes from a feeling of having all that you need. But you don’t need me to explain just how little a human being needs.

It’s all our ‘wants’ that get in our way of happiness, in fact 'wanting' is that which actually keeps us from happiness. So, if it is happiness you desire, spend more time wanting less, sounds easy?

Spend more time looking around, focussing on all that you do indeed already have.

A bed with blankets to rest at night. A loved one to hug. A pet coming towards you for a cuddle. A warm fire place, or a heater keeping you warm on a cold night. How about clothing, do you have seasonally appropriate clothing? Are you comfortable?

Is your body free of pain? if so give thanks. And if not, give thanks for the pain which is letting you know of some disharmony within, giving rise to opportunity for growth. Inner growth, asking what is to be learned from this?

Is it a lack of self-love that has you feeling sad or unwell? Is it a lack of love? (aha, not love from an external source love from within.) Do you have any? This sounds like a sad question, but it needs to be asked. Do you have love for you? We all feel that we have so much love to give, we love our partners, families and kids. But do you show yourself the same forgiveness and kindness that you show others? Do you? Honestly?

For without self-love, it seems very hard to find happiness. At least true happiness that is. We all know the voice. The voice within us. Is your inner voice saying nice things? Or is it rubbing salt in an already open wound?

Watch your thoughts, they will be very telling of just how close or how far you are from feeling true happiness.

It’s not easy but it is possible to change your inner dialogue. It is possible to start treating yourself with the same amount of kindness and respect you show to others.

How about we try together, to be kind to ourselves. Show love and acceptance to all that we are, now in the moment. And give less energy to that which we wish we could be. How about accepting all that you are capable of right now?

Maybe it’s a gentle smile to yourself in the mirror next time you pass. At least that will be one person that has smiled at you today. Hehe!

Honestly, show kindness to yourself this week. Show love. And even forgiveness. You are more than OK just as you are, right now in this moment.

Love & Blessings to all.
Margie.
