What about the ego?

November 23, 2011 By Sheila Unique Leave a Comment

Have you been going through a time of struggle and question lately? I know I have been. With the changes in my business I have been doing a lot of inner work as I clear through many issues.

You often hear me talk about messengers who have messages for us. One showed up today with an interesting message. A very good friend of mine, Larry Koftinoff, shared this in his weekly newsletter and I wanted to share it with you…this is the section he wrote about the ego. You may find his writing opens a door in becoming aware of what we may not be aware of:

“Love is demanding. It demands that you forsake the ego… the stories… the illusions… all discriminating thought must be surrendered. The ego creates a barrier or a veil that between you and reality as it is. The ego finds its work in continually interpreting reality… always finding ways to distort the truth… always wanting to be elsewhere than where it finds itself. Its nature is that of a commentator… always analyzing the experience and trying to distort what is. It will tell you that “mmm… you like this” or “you don’t like that” or “I hate my job” or “I wish I would lose some weight”…. never quite satisfied with what is… always wanting to comment.

The ego is quick… before you even realize it has coloured your perception of an experience… it has done its quick work and contaminated the experience… it has come in because your nature of patterned experience has allowed it.

Think of the ego like a servant… standing at the gateway to your heart and allowing in only a small percentage of truthful experience. Some say that it could be as little as 5%… as one awakens… it slowly gets up to 10, 20 30 ,40% and more. This servant is doing its job… analyzing at light speed every action, every perception, every emotion, every experience and then it will compare it to its data banks and spit out a commentary before we realize any of this is going on.”

Can you relate to what Larry has shared? Can you relate to the commentator inside who is so quick to ‘judge’ whatever is or isn’t happening around us? The ‘judging’ is part of the reactions.

As you go about your weeks ahead, start to notice what your commentator may be saying. Every day brings about opportunities to learn and grow. There is no good nor bad, right or wrong. We start from where we are now and move forward with awareness.

Projecting Energy

October 26, 2011 By Sheila Unique Leave a Comment

This past Friday, my daughter, Brittany took our 2 year old granddaughter, Calli to the museum. Of all the displays there, Brittany shared something that transpired at the dinosaur display. The display houses huge dinosaurs, each dinosaur having a recording of what it sounded like. When they left the display, Brittany didn’t give it another thought until bedtime when Calli seemed to be bothered about something. Calli had been different in some way all evening and then needed to have the light on to go to sleep.

Our family went out for breakfast Sunday morning and shared in the story of the visit to the museum. Brittany asked me if Calli was affected by the dinosaur display. I connected to the energy and started to share that Calli wasn’t initially bothered by the display but was very much affected by the energy that was being ‘projected onto her’. I explained that whoever was standing to her back right side was ‘projecting a fear’ about how children would be scared once they started to hear the loud scary sounds the dinosaurs made. Brittany confirmed to the back right side was a lady who was concerned about the little children and how they may react when the roars of the dinosaurs started. Brittany also works with energy and could feel what I was picking up allowing her to see what the change in Calli’s behaviour was reflecting.

If you become aware of a change where you notice your children are ‘reacting’ in some way, what is causing the reaction? I ask you that question to share with you there are many elements involved when reactions surface. What are the ‘reactions’ highlighting as the underlying issue? This story is about a child but not only directed at the learning for children.

Any time there is a change in behaviour where someone is bothered in some way, the behavioural change will not be coming from something physical as much as it will be coming from something non-physical, which would be energy.

Think about something that you are afraid of…afraid of hurting someone or giving the wrong impression, for example. How would you feel if that happened? How would you feel if you saw someone else do that? Knowing what that would feel like to you, would you make an effort to make sure no one had to experience that?

Using the example with Brittany, will every child walking through the door to the dinosaur display be scared of the loud roaring noises? Could a person who has fears around children being scared be bothered when children come in for the first time? Becoming aware of the feelings involved and the energy around those feelings will make a huge difference in resolving the changes in behaviour.

All I am showing you are the feelings of people can easily be projected onto others. Becoming aware of this reality will make all the difference when you go to do something. How do you feel…is it your fear or their fear? Is it your bother or their bother? Where the projection comes in is ‘thinking’ that the children will be scared or another person will be hurt. Will they be?

What you become along the way!

Think of the issues in your life right now. They may involve a painful back, financial strain or they may involve attracting the wrong partner. Issues where you’ve had coaching, counseling and even family and friends helping you to get through them…and they still seem to be there. Yes, those ones. How do you feel about the reality that the issue is still there?

Lately I’ve caught myself saying to my clients, ‘you’re clearing all of this because of the pain in your back (or because of something someone said – whatever it was for them).’ One lady I was working on had pain in her knee. What I ended up clearing were issues around her children. That happens all the time where someone talks about pain of some kind and the clearing goes off in a totally unexpected direction. The result is the person feels so much better about the issue and the pain is gone. I started to observe the personal transformation that goes on for my clients when clearing through one or more issues.

I was gifted a book called, ‘fight for your dreams’ by Les Brown. He said, “What you become in pursuit of your dream is more important than the accomplishment of your dream.” A little more reading and he went on to say, “Oddly enough, the most important thing is the person you become while in pursuit of your dream – your character development, your spirituality, courage and faith; the experiences you have along the way, good and bad; and the relationships you develop. All these things come together to create a new you.”

Well those words made sense to me because when I think of all the clearing I have had myself around money issues or around relationship issues with myself…I know I am a stronger more richer person because of what I have walked through. You are no different from me.

When you look down at your sore knees wondering what else you need to do to clear the pain or when you get your credit card statement where you have reached the limit of funds and wonder where your next payment is going to come from…think about the learning and growing you are experiencing as you face another day! What works and what doesn’t work. What feels right to you? Whether you clear your life issues through the messenger of the pain in your feet or the messenger called your mom/dad/co-worker, you will be clearing life issues.

If you have pain on any level in any area of your life, you still have something that you are not at peace with. What is that for you? Whenever you have conflict in your life, you can see a reaction through your body in the form of pain, your mind in the form of thoughts and emotions, and your spirit as unrest. What is being communicated to you through your conflict? As you come to know what those messages are, the growth happens and you start to experience the perfection in the world around you.

Can you look back and see the growth because of an issue in your life? You bet some days you can’t see any growth…I’ve been there. I still have days like that where I’m clearing feelings hate and anger. Those days are less and less and in clearing through the hate and anger you do become richer and feel more peaceful inside. Have you experienced something like that?
