The power in your vulnerability

There is a deep and profound connection between our power and our vulnerability.  Only when we are fully in our power can we be truly vulnerable, and being vulnerable connects us with our true power!

Being vulnerable is one of our primal fears and many of us will do anything to avoid it. How we relate to our own vulnerability is hugely important in terms of who we are and how we live, however.  Masking how we feel to avoid being hurt, rejected or made to feel ashamed can push us to living our lives one step away from where the authentic action is.  It also sets up a vibration of fear that means the universe cannot deliver what we really want.

There’s a huge difference between taking a risk and being reckless – the same kind of difference there is between plucking up the courage to tell someone how much they mean to us and jumping in front of a fast moving express train!  It’s also about walking a delicate line between expressing our feelings yet still taking responsibility for them.  Being vulnerable means

1/Not pretending we don’t care when we do, and that we do care when we don’t.

2/Asking for help when we need it, but not demanding that other people rush to our aid.

3/Admitting when we’re afraid, sad or scared – but not expecting anyone to rescue us.

4/Being true to our authentic selves and allowing others to be true to their authentic selves.

When we are in our power, we know that no matter what happens or what anyone does, nothing can erode or diminish that part of us that is sacred and eternal.

Quantum Creating at the speed of light

Quantum Creating at the speed of light

When you are totally in the zone, you can manifest at the speed of light. Here’s a true story that shows just how quickly it can happen.

I was having a meeting in London and explained to a couple of people how Cosmic Ordering and manifestation worked. They asked me if there was anything I’d like to manifest right then and there. Off the top of my head, I mentioned wanting to meet a celebrity I’d always admired. They gasped and said, ‘But we know her! We can introduce you!’

Already laughing in amazement at that incredible coincidence, we went out to catch a cab to our next destination. At one point, the cab stopped at a red light and standing on the pavement by our window was sat the person I’d mentioned wanting to meet less than an hour earlier! My friend opened the window I met her then and there!

You know what it’s like when you feel like an unstoppable force, when you power through obstacles before they’ve even had time to take shape and when absolutely nothing that happens slows you down for a second.The fact is that you can create at the speed of light – but we don’t always want to. We can be slowed down by all sorts of things that I talk a lot about here – by our beliefs and ideas about what’s possible in general or for us in particular, but it can come as a real surprise to know that we can be just as much slowed down by not wanting to get too far away from happiness we have known in the past!

This might come as just a bit of a shock, but here’s how it works. As I’ve explained, to be at your most powerful, you have to be totally in alignment with your intention and attention going full steam ahead. Having our psychic energy perpetually hauled back to deal with unfinished business or buried pain is something that we’re all familiar with. In fact, an entire culture of therapy is built on that idea. But you can be just as distracted and get pulled away from now, your future and what you want to go on and create by being totally happy in the past!

I’m sure you’ve all known people who seem to have got stuck in a time warp. A friend of mine was very struck by a teacher she had at school who never veered from a look that she had clearly arrived at in the sixties and had stopped right there. It was obvious that the way she did her hair and makeup and the clothes she wore had made her feel beautiful at the time she first chose them, and she probably associated a lot of very happy memories with the whole package that she fondly relived every time she recreated it on a daily basis. No problem with that, apart from it was twenty years on!

The way she looked was a direct physical manifestation of what we can all do – keep going back to when we felt good or had brilliant times instead of putting our intention or attention on what we are creating in the present and for our future. This is why so many people’s lives seem to tail off after a certain age – especially the age at which our culture can tells us that it’s all over and we have nothing to do but sit and look back over what we’ve achieved rather than setting ourselves new goals and dreams.

Enjoy all of your good memories by all means, but when you are working with manifestation, know that now is your point of power and trust that the best is yet to come!

Check that you are moving full steam ahead.

1/Stalk your thoughts and speech to find out how much time you spend thinking and talking about the past and how much you spend thinking and talking about now and the future. In particular, be alert for energy shifts. Do you light up when you recall taking the lead in the school play when you were 15 and deflate when you think about what’s in your life right now?

2/Sit down and make a list of all of the changes that you’ve made or that have happened in the past five years – everything from moving house, changing jobs, learning new skills or making new friends. The more you can put on that list, the more you have trained yourself to orient towards the present and future. If it’s totally blank because not one single thing has changed or been added to your life in the past five years, it’s little wonder if you feel a bit stagnant!

3/Be honest about whether you believe that you’ve already had the best of life, or whether you think the best is yet to come.

4/Do you have a raft of goals, dreams and desires that relate to your future? It doesn’t all have to be about travelling around the world or giving up working as a dental assistant to train as a chiropractor. It can be as small as a novel you’re looking forward to reading, a film you really want to see or a nearby place you really want to go and visit. Make sure your present and future is crammed with goodies of all shapes and sizes that you can’t wait to get to.

Loads of love,

Soul SOS: Help Me Find My Purpose!

We’re told that we all come here with a specific purpose or soul path and gifts we have to share with others. If we’re operating from a spiritual perspective that sounds completely logical. So, if that’s the case then why are so many of us feeling lost and don’t seem to have the faintest clue about what we’ve come here to do? We then spend years beating ourselves up about this because we tell ourselves that unlike others, we have no path or purpose! What’s more once we get into this mindset we end up doing nothing – and where does that get us? Nowhere. It also doesn’t do anyone else any good either as if we’re not aligned with our purpose then the world or other people don’t get to benefit from what we could bring to it. So, we can say reconnecting to our purpose is one of the most important spiritual tasks we can undertake.

Notice I said ‘reconnecting’. Because the thing is when we’re young, most of us DO know our purpose but we don’t see it as that. It’s that thing we loved to do but we got told it wasn’t appropriate for us in some way – either we should have ‘grown out of it’ or if we wanted to fit in we had to stop doing or talking about it. Or we were told we couldn’t do it for some reason – that we would never be good enough at it or that we wouldn’t make a living from doing it or that our parents sadly could no longer afford to pay for us to do it – or for us to do it in the first place. So, we gave it up and in doing so we gave away not just our purpose, but a huge part of who we are in the process.

We may find our minds straying back to that ‘thing’ when we’re sitting at the job we loathe  What have you given up that you used to enjoy and now you come to think about it, the thought of having given it up makes you feel miserable? Chances are that contains in some way the key to your purpose. Think back to your childhood and especially your teens. Chances are something you loved to do back then will lead you back to the path you’ve strayed from. Now, if you wanted to be a professional athlete and are now in your ‘30’s or 40’s, I’m not saying that you may necessarily be able to train to be an Olympian. But there are many, many jobs connected to sports that could turn out to be your soul calling – sports psychologist, sports photographer, sports journalist, physiotherapist or even training to run a marathon – all these paths and more could be open to you. The idea is to take that first step back on the path and then to trust that the universe will then lead you in the right direction.

For some of us, just expressing our purpose is sufficient and we won’t actually have to be earning a living from it. But it’s funny that once you set off on this path, it very often takes over and brings you not just soul rewards but financial ones too. So, don’t just sit there and wonder what your purpose was. Remember it by reconnecting to what you loved in the past and understand there’s no such thing as taking a wrong turn on this journey. It doesn’t matter where you start it – all paths lead to your purpose in the end.

Your Intuition Doesn’t Lie – How to Spot a liar

Our psychic and astrologer Helen reveals ways to spot a liar.

Chances are your intuition is spot-on when you get that feeling someone is telling you a porkie. There’s that uneasy inner feeling that things somehow just don’t add up. Usually this is because what the person is saying to us and their body language is at odds and they are sending us mixed signals. Our intuition then kicks in as it is usually far more observant than we are in reading contrary messages. Psychologists tell us that 93% of all communication is non-verbal! So, if your intuition is saying that someone isn’t being straight with you, what are the other signs to look for that backs this up?

Truth tellers go straight to the point. If you are being given a long-winded explanation with lots of detours and prattle but little specific details or facts this could indicate the person is trying to deflect your attention from the truth
Liars tend to fall back on denial as in ‘I wasn’t cheating’ as opposed to statements like ‘I’m in a relationship with you, not anyone else’.
Liars put things back on you – ‘You’re paranoid’, ‘You know how you always react’, ‘This is the reason I didn’t tell you this’
Liars will try to deflect you or change the subject. Watch out for statements such as ‘You know how it is with my work’ or ‘I’ve had a hard day and now you’re interrogating me’
General terms are another heads-up the truth may be getting stretched – buzz words to watch out for are ‘always’. ‘never’, ‘everyone’ and ‘nobody’
If someone isn’t telling the truth they are thinking of ways to disguise it. This means they have to come up with a plausible-sounding excuse which takes time. If someone starts speaking more slowly or takes longer than usual to reply this is another sign they may not be telling you the truth
Not telling you something you need to or are entitled to know is the same as lying despite what the other party may claim
Despite what you may think, when someone is lying to you they may make eye contact – liars do not always avoid meeting your gaze but they may give themselves away by coming across as restless, nervous, twitchy or start fiddling with something, so pay attention to the rest of their body language

The fact is, none of us like being lied to. When we find out we have been this makes us feel gullible, stupid and insecure as trust in the other person is destroyed. Follow up on your intuition with these tips and above all, if you know you are being lied to, try to be as non-confrontational as possible in your responses – although this can be hard. Statements such as ‘ I always give you the courtesy of telling you the truth and all I ask is the same in return’ or ‘I don’t know why you feel I cannot handle the non-edited version of events’ may serve you better than out and out statements such as ‘You’re a liar!’. Unfortunately, liar’s pants are rarely on fire so let your intuition guide you when it comes to discovering the truth.

Change Your Life in Five Weeks! Week One – Kicking the Habit

When we feel stuck suddenly change doesn’t become a scary word any more. It becomes something we yearn for. Very often however, whether we want to change one area of our lives or take a totally different path, we sit around and wait for ‘something’ to happen to shake us free – forgetting the fact that if it’s positive change we want – we need to become agents of it!

Bringing about lasting change requires commitment and also breaking down what changes we need to make in order to create the transformation. Surprisingly enough, major changes can be kick-started by us by taking five simple steps towards shifting the energy in our lives. These steps may not in themselves appear to have any relevance to the area of our lives we want to change, but as with everything, we are working with energy and when we begin to change the energy in one area, others quickly reflect this. Ringing it the changes doesn’t mean you have to change everything at once and sometimes it’s best to take it in stages, which is why I’ve come up with a simple five week process that requires you to just concentrate on one key area a week but taken together, the five stages can add up to a radical and very positive shift. So, if you are ready and willing to welcome in change, let’s begin.

Week One: Kicking the Habit

What habits are keeping you stuck? Doing things the way we have always done them is one of the major obstacles to allowing change into our lives. First, make a list of every habit you’d like to change or which you feel is keeping you stuck. This can be anything from watching too much TV, not taking enough exercise to always frequenting the same places. Then make a counter-list of all the things that you’d love to do – if someone waved a magic wand and told you that you couldn’t fail. However, you don’t do them because you fear you’d not be any good at them, you’d fail, people would laugh at you or fail to understand why you’re pursuing them, or else you’ll end up with nothing. Now, look at your list and in the week ahead choose three things from all of it that you will change. This could be trying a new coffee shop on the way to work, or taking that first step towards pursuing that activity or vowing to eat/drink/watch TV less and do something else instead. You don’t have to tackle every single item on this list – just three and then just make small adjustments.

That’s it. The thing is, when we step out of our habit zone we start to think differently. Spend week one adjusting your habits – even in a small way and get ready for another mind-changing exercise in week two!

Create Your New Love Karma in Just Four Easy Steps!

Are you bogged in grief, sadness and loss over a relationship that didn’t work out the day you hoped? Or are you in the position where you’ve come to believe there is no-one out there for you? Or perhaps you’ve come out of a long-term relationship and dread being thrown back into the dating game? If so, read on as this article is written for anyone who wants to ensure that history doesn’t repeat itself when it comes to relationships!

Creating a new love karma is easier than you may think and can be broken down into three key steps.

First: Allow yourself to fully experience the complete range of emotions you are feeling. Whether these are anger, sadness, rejection, loss, grief, betrayal, loneliness, fear, frustration or an entire gamut of others – give yourself permission to feel what you are feeling. If you try to suppress your emotions, this won’t lead to true healing. No matter how long the process takes – and remember there is no statute of limitations on this as it will be different for everyone, allow these emotions to run their course. When you have worked through this stage you will discover you have arrived at a stage of acceptance and once here, the feelings will dissipate.

Second: What have you learned from this? This is the key stage to creating that new love karma and a new relationship future for yourself. Many people would also say that you first have to forgive the other party and yourself for what went wrong. However, realistically, while you may be able to forgive yourself, you may have been through an abusive relationship where forgiveness at this time is not possible for you. If this is the case, forgive yourself for not being able to forgive and concentrate instead on what you have learned.

We all need to understand that every relationship we enter in to represents an opportunity to learn more about what we need in a relationship for it to work. When we see love as a learning experience, no matter what transpired, we are able to emerge from it with a fresh perspective. It is only when we don’t learn that we are destined to repeat the cycle until we do. So, look closely for patterns that have repeated themselves in your relationships, whether you fall for a similar ‘type’ each time (whether they look alike or not), and the qualities you now know you need for love to last. When you are ready, and only when, you may like to get rid of any old love letters, photos, gifts etc or anything that reminds you of your ex. As you begin to heal you will find yourself thinking about them less and less and this is a key stage in attracting new love as you can’t move forward if you’re continually looking back!

Third:  Beware demonising. When we fall in love we can idolise our lover or project our desires onto them. When things go wrong it is easy for lovers to ‘demonise’ each other and loose the love that was there or take responsibility for our part in it going wrong. Take an honest inventory of your part or patterns within your past relationship and commit to making changes. Be honest in the way you communicate about the past rather than exaggerate the negative. Remember the positive connection in balance without writing a story that is all about a bad guy/girl/trans. When we look back at love with honesty, our own responsibility and an awareness of the mutual chemistry and soul lessons we can break long held love karma and heal. Otherwise we may begin dancing around that wheel again.

Fourth: When you have taken all the time you need and not hurried the first three steps, you are now empowered and ready to begin the process of attracting in someone new. Above all, don’t focus on the qualities your previous partners didn’t have – as all you will do is attract more of the same. Instead, focus on those your ‘love karma audit’ as I like to call it, has identified you do need in a lover such as honesty, kindness, generosity, faithfulness. Then ensure that you nurture all the qualities you are seeking in a lover, in yourself. Like attracts like after all.

We all have the ability to create a new love karma at any point so don’t think you’re doomed to repeat the past – or to remain alone. Karma is all about our ability to learn from our past, and our presence of mind in the present!
