YOUR THOUGHTS ARE REAL.
THAT DOESN'T MAKE THEM TRUE.

MODULE 3: THOUGHTS

OUR UNCONSCIOUS THOUGHTS ARE OUR BELIEFS

MODULE 3: THOUGHTS, BELIEFS, CODITIONING, PATTERNS

My signature Story and my WHY revolve around this subject of thoughts and how they really can create our reality. Words are spells (spelling) and words translate thoughts and thoughts, thoughts carry vibration, when thought often enough and chronically, become beliefs. And we humans are so heavy with beliefs that we can't see the forest for the trees.

We are not our thoughts. We have thoughts. Big distinction.

We can learn to be the observer of our thoughts.

We can learn to be the witness of the thousands of thoughts we have daily. This is what Meditation is really good at - getting us to a place where we are just observing without judgment or emotional attachment.

Most unconscious thoughts are about fear, lack scarcity, overwhelm, judgment, criticism, blame, guilt, shame, unworthiness, anxiety, doubt, worry... I could go on. Our culture perpetuates it almost as much as our own ego. Constantly on the look out to justify why you feeling and thinking that person was wrong or unjust or whatever.

This keeps us in the loop of the ego - the loop low low vibration of merely survival.

We are here to thrive. Thriving is our birthright and it's all Source Energy wants for us - regardless of the situation. Whatever label you give a situation, person, place or thing (good, bad, right, wrong) are part of our human survival mechanisms. Once we label things we can devise a plan to "figure it out" or avoid it or judge it. We humans don't grasp the concept that life happens for us. Life is simply life. Life has no judgement. Life has no agenda. Life is neutral. Humans give it labels to make sense of and to control. That's all. Once we drop the labels - of allll kinds - we can allow life to be what it is in this moment. That is thriving.

An added bonus in this Module will be information on Nutrition (SEE MAIN PAGE) and the ways Ayurveda can assist when we nourish our bodies with good food, spice and in right combinations. We discuss your true nature, cravings and what foods align with your unique body design. We will uncover your special doshic balance of elements that create your being (and everything on the planet). Elements of Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth and how to use them to your advantage.

MORNING ROUTINE

Good Morning Sweet Soul!

Ok, lets recap a moment:

Morning Ritual includes:

- Waking to bring your awareness to feeling good for the day ahead. The very first thing you do before or just as you open your eyes.

- Getting out your tongue scraper and actually using it

- Drinking a huge glass of water to flush your system

- Taking a moment to write down (or at least call to mind) what you are grateful for

Today we will continue with your next addition to your daily routine with Meditation.

Our Inner Landscape can feel all noisy and abrupt and loud - we use Meditation to not silence the racing thoughts, but to turn the volume down a bit. Your Meditations will expand to be separate items to practice weekly.

Listen to the Audio file provided for your weekly Meditation. Or find one that you enjoy practicing.

HeadSpace and GAIA are great places to find inspiring practices.

Celebrate yourself for jumping in feet first and doing the work to transform your life into one that is full of joy, peace and ease. I think you're powerful.

JOURNALING

Gratitude, Appreciation + Intention Setting

We all have something we can be thankful for and something we can celebrate in our own lives.

It can be simple or profound.

Start all your practices with 5 long, deep and steady inhale + exhale, placing hand over heart as you breathe.

List 5 things you are grateful for and that you can appreciate in the current moment.

JOURNAL Prompts:

What general thoughts do I have consistently about myself and my life?

Write out all the specific thoughts you can think of about money, relationships, career, family, yourself. Spend some time focusing on how those thoughts feel in your body.

Where on the emotional spiral do they land? to find this, click link and then the emotions tab.

This will be your task for the next half of your life.

Beliefs are just thoughts we keep thinking. That's all.

Your thoughts are real - but that doesn't make them true.

Additional Thoughts Inquiry

Let's get even more curious about your thoughts. Our thoughts create our reality so it's important to get clear on the thoughts you consistently think,

Journal Prompt:

1. Write down all the negative thoughts (about you and your world) as you hear them in your mind. Tune into and be aware of hoe the body feels as you bring these to mind.

2. Write down the thoughts you have that help you to feel safe, positive, excited, worthy, grounded, joyful. Write in this way:

The thought I have that makes me feel safe is...

The thought I have that makes me feel worthy is...

This is so helpful to use the full sentence so that the vibration of it remains high and curious. Tune into and be aware of how the body feels as you bring these to mind.

3. Write down all the positive thoughts that you have about yourself.

Tune into and be aware of how the body feels as you bring these to mind.

This will be a practice every day until Source Energy calls you home.

This work does not end. Good luck. Keep going.

I love you so much, it's crazy.

MOMENTS-IN-BETWEEN

Get Creative

Being Creative has so many meanings for each of us.

Take a moment and write down 3 things you could do this week that you want to do, simply because you want to.

Maybe you want to plant some flowers, write a letter or maybe you want to create a piece of art. Gather your tools and get to it!

Send me an email with a photo of what you have done this week!

DAILY PRACTICES

AWARENESS

Bringing awareness into our moments is a practice in and of itself. It requires us to make an inventory of our inner landscape. Go back to the emotional spiral (or print it out for future reference) and see where you are vibrating.

With this awareness of what your current emotional set point is, ask yourself:

What could I (do, say, think) to elevate my current mood set point?

MOVEMENT

What are you doing to create deliberate movement in your day?

MEDITATION

The goal of Meditation is to turn the volume down on your thoughts - you will never get the mind to completely shut off - this is a futile attempt. BUT meditation is key to re-center your thoughts to a higher emotional set point.

When we are practicing mindfulness, we are actively interrupting the pattern of all things daily stress related. We desire a different way of being, and so we must start to interrupt our normal patterns of behavior and Meditation can be a transformative tool for this,

Practice allowing 5 minutes at various points in your day to sit still, eyes closed and notice everything coming into your senses.

Meditation for this week

Allow yourself to get still, and tune into your breath, its natural rhythm. Either sit or lie down and hit the play button on the audio file for you Mediatation this week.

EVENING ROUTINE

Practices and rituals to prepare for the best nights sleep and to prepare for the best day ahead - your chance to start over.

Our circadian rhythms are invaluable to our overall health, yet many of us never think twice about them. All of life has a routine or when to wake and when to rest. Keeping a regular and peaceful routine is going to not only help you sleep more soundly, but it has the ability to assist in weight loss, regulating the nervous system and keeping all systems go.

1 Hour before bed

The most effective time to start preparing for bed is about 830pm. Why? Because by 10pm, our bodies intuitively get a "second wind" and will prevent you from getting a restful sleep.

So, about 830pm, remove yourself from any electronics - tv, phone, computer - and make it an evening ritual that resonates with you. Watching tv or even reading in bed before sleep are detrimental to our bodies ability to rest well.

Book-ended Hygiene

As in the morning, so like the evening, brush the choppers, floss, wash the face - all the things. Brush the hair and put on clean comfortable, loose fitting pjs. Maybe light your favorite candle or put on soft relaxing ambient music.

Get on the floor - or in the bed

For stretching, maybe simply lie in Savasana, and prepare for meditation/reflection on your day.

Allow the body to soften and unwind. If it was a particularly rough day, practice saying super nice things to yourself - allow whatever needs to surface to come up and with the breath, let it all go from the mind and body. Maybe do a light overall body shake and visualize all the crappy things that may have happened to shake loose from your whole body.

Now is a great time for written reflection as well.

Reflection

What did you find hard today?

Where did you feel yourself resisting what is?

It could be as simple as aches and pains getting out of bed or as difficult as dealing with a situation in the office.

How did you meet the challenges the day brought?

Are you going to use the same techniques tomorrow or would you prefer to do something differently?

What would that look like?

What big or small celebration came your way today?

Write about how it made you feel and focus your words in the present and most positive way possible.

930-945pm Land of Nod

Call to mind the best feeling thoughts you have - about your day, someone you love or the anticipation of being able to start over again in the morning or the excitement (like on Christmas morning) of the possibilities tomorrow might bring. Close your eyes. Off to the Land of Nod you go!

A Movement - of love & authenticity.
