So what it is that is so hard about making positive changes in our lives? We often see how quickly people can pick up habits that cause problems in their lives, often not on purpose of course, but in reaction to dealing with something terribly painful, our incredibly stressful or both. Often times people are unable to handle intense emotions and feelings, especially if they’ve never allowed themselves to feel them before, or if they’ve been raised to believe that it’s a bad thing to express your emotions, they might have an extra hard time with this and with good reason.
I’ve seen and heard it way too many times people get shunned or judged for just being human and having real-life human experiences that we ALL go through in one form or another. And last time that I checked, the entire point of this so-called movement was to embrace what is often rejected by the social norm, to accept people as they are, where they are and to come from the heart, so that we may face the dark with courage.

Our bodies are excellent examples of complexity theory in how we can see it divided into various systems that are responsible for carrying out certain functions for the body to keep it going for optimal health. We have the nervous, endocrine and immune systems to name a few and each has smaller, organized structures within them as well, which have smaller structures, which have smaller structures, and well you get the picture.
Learning to say no when you really cannot help someone or when it would cause you to go without or suffer in some way is not rude or mean. In fact, it is simply showing you self-love and putting yourself first, which is vital to even being able to be a genuine giver!
You see (no pun intended) when we invest our time merely constructing the “how” rather than doing the work that will get us there, before you know it another year has gone by and the only thing that has changed is that we’ve merely gotten better at explaining what our hopes and dreams are.
When we think of spells, we might naturally gravitate towards witchcraft and wizardry. The casting of evil omens or good fortune depending on the kind of myths, legends, and stories we’ve heard and from what sources. We might take a more lax stance on it, not thinking much about it all other than spelling is something we were taught in school as children and if we could remember how to spell long difficult words we could get blue ribbons to show for it. Or we might take a much more serious stance on spelling if perhaps we have received our stories from ancestors of past whom have always intertwined respectfully with the forces of nature and thus know the powers of symbols, sound and intentions when it comes to manifesting creations within the mind, psyche, heart, and physical life.
Purpose in and of itself is not something we ever need to find or discover, but rather simply acknowledge is ever-present and unfolding through our own creative expressions. Unfortunately, this is not something we are taught in school and many of let go of our instinct to follow our joy at a very young age. We simply stop creating from that place of authenticity and rather let the outer world begin to mold us instead. And while that not entirely a bad thing, we as humans need a serious wake-up call in how we are living and dying because in this day and age the terms are becoming synonymous.
Sadly, true Amazonian medicine elders are a dying breed. To be in the presence of a genuine master is a treasured experience, and those of them still with us exemplify the virtues of living a life aligned with nature, devoted to spiritual development, and focused on the well-being of others.
Most of us might not be able to write out Schrodinger’s equation, but many of us have at least heard of Schrodinger’s Cat. With the familiarity of this unfortunate feline, one must also be aware of the fact that anything truly IS possible; just as Quantum Mechanics shows us by demonstrating this cat can exist in multiple states simultaneously.. i.e. dead or alive.
When creating the lives we want for ourselves, we need to keep envisioning in our hearts and our minds what we DO want, not putting focus on that which we do NOT want. Again, it’s all about the energy and where our attention goes is where things will grow in our lives. Where we put the most attention is where we will see our manifestations literally come to life!
The Universe is not out to punish us; it is merely responding to the vibration we put out which is determined by the types of thoughts we are having. If we feel that we are being pushed, this is not always a bad thing and sometimes just takes a simple shift in our perspective.
If you’re anything like me, you may have a hard time asking for help when it comes to personal stuff. If I can’t reach something off a shelf, sure I’m good with requesting some assistance, but when it gets a bit deeper than that, I tend to wanna handle everything on my own; retreat inward and soak on it in a little “me-time” solitude. My mental cave is always warm and welcoming with popcorn made and a Netflix marathon ready to go. But sometimes, when the popcorn’s run out and your ass is asleep from too much couch-potato-ing, you reach a point where your ego allows you to understand that your ONLY way out to reach a solution is another’s perspective.
Non-attachment isn’t dimming your fire or passion. It isn’t denying how you feel. It is merely taking the steps necessary to discipline yourself to not stay IN one emotion, because we’re not meant to. Our natural state is neutral (no coincidence they are such similar words) and to remain balanced; and practicing non-attachment allows us to live a more balanced life.
We are all our OWN worlds, and we decide what we. When you respond to another’s opinion or perspective you are merely interacting with their world, not your own. And this is such a useful tool in helping you work out conflicts and karma in your current relationships and ancestral lineage.
The first step is living an authentic life, is being conscious that you are presently not. If you are the type of person who has continual chaos in their lives, but always looking outward blaming the world and other people for your problems, rather than taking account for your own thoughts and behavior, then you may not care too much about being “real”. Why? Because you’ve subconsciously learned that it’s safer to change and morph yourself around external situations. In other words, you have learned to live RE-actively, rather than PRO-actively. But, I ask you…which one sounds more powerful?
