Shift in Perception

September 12, 2012 By Sheila Unique Leave a Comment

It was so great to go outside to our new city garbage bin and find it empty again! Today was garbage day and like every Wednesday we roll out our bin to the alley and the city comes by to empty it.

You might be thinking what the big deal is. Well last week when I went to roll our bin back into the yard, there was still garbage left inside. Has that ever happened to you? My first thoughts weren’t so pretty. I had a problem and my problem had to do with ‘the city not emptying our garbage bin.’ Notice the words I used, ‘my problem had to do with the city.’

I started to think of some not so nice things. The mind can sure make things an issue. I was in the house for a few minutes and thought, ‘I’m going to phone the city.’ I got through on the phone in no time and talked to the most wonderful lady I could have asked for. She had a supervisor out to my house within 5 minutes and I’m not exaggerating. I hung up the phone from talking with her, had my garbage bin rolled back out into the alley and the supervisor was already there.

I could feel the supervisor was expecting conflict of some kind. Was he picking up on my reactions? He looked in the bin and saw we had a box lying sideways, along with some loose garbage. He explained that all the garbage was supposed to be packaged in bags, not boxes. He went on to explain when the garbage truck comes along, the arm of the truck grabs the bins. What may have happened when the arm of the truck grabbed the bin, it could have squeezed the bin right at the place where the box was sitting causing the box to block the garbage underneath.

In our conversation, I could feel the shift in my perception! I said to the supervisor, ‘we are all learning, aren’t we.’ The energy of that supervisor changed instantly reflecting back the change in me! He ‘softened’ immediately, if I could use that word. That supervisor was an amazing messenger for me. My problem wasn’t the city workers or my garbage bin…there wasn’t a problem! What was there was a wonderful learning experience for me.

When things don’t go so well for us…or if we have problems, what do we do with them? How do we go about bringing resolution? Can we see those challenging people, things and situations in a way that supports us on our journey? Can we see conflict as a learning opportunity? Can we go inside and find out how we feel about whatever is going on around us?

As we see the Universe so perfectly aligning everything for our learning and growing…we come to find peace within.

Aligning Perfectly!

September 7, 2012 By Sheila Unique Leave a Comment

Every day I see the unfolding of perfection! All of the situations in my life are being created for my own inner healing. Can you see how everything in your life is aligning perfectly for your own inner healing?

You bet there are times when things don’t feel so great, like maybe losing a friend or you don’t have enough money to pay your bills this month…and then there are times where you wonder how things come together so perfectly – almost effortless. Allow me to share this example of what I’ve experienced and how it may open the door for insights into what may be taking place for you.

Sharon and I did our live radio show on blogtalkradio the other day. We had a few minutes before the show and Sharon was telling me about her drive home from out of town, the night before. She was concerned about driving on the highway, in the dark, while it was raining. Sure enough just out of the city she was leaving, there was a coyote standing in the middle of the road. She hit her brakes and the coyote managed to move off the highway without any problems. She said in that moment she got to pay attention because there was 2 hours ahead of her…wake up!

We were chatting a little bit about how we ask the divine for help driving at night. I asked Sharon what was her message with the coyote? She commented that she had to look in the book to see what the message is for coyotes. I said, ‘what if your message was as simple as, ‘pay attention because there was 2 hours ahead of you…wake up!’ In that moment I was very aware that there was learning for both of us.

Sharon started to see how easy it is to give our power, our own inner knowing over to others, doesn’t matter who it is. For her, she got her message and was very aware of what it meant to her. I came along and in asking her, it brought up something for her about looking outside of her to see how she is wrong. There was so much healing for her – and yes….all of this before the radio show even started.

Now what does that have to do with me? Through being with Sharon that morning, I could see how there are times when I do the same. Sharon was a perfect messenger for me – not only to see how I need to look inside for my own insights…but also for me to appreciate and accept that in others. On my journey, that is something I’m learning and growing through. Life is a process and I’m so grateful to have someone like Sharon to learn with.

Are you in a place where you are resolving issues around controlling or accepting and allowing? The most important part is being AWARE. When you are aware that you are controlling others, just acknowledge that because it is in that moment where you start to see how your habits and patterns come to life. From there…the healing takes place.

If I could also add, just because someone says something, does not make it a global truth for every single person on the planet. Be with what feels right for you.

Indications of Inner Growth

June 21, 2012 By Sheila Unique Leave a Comment

Right now it feels like we seem to be going through a questioning stage again. What is our purpose in being here on earth? Is it to make it through the days hoping everything goes okay? Is it to work towards being a great person and then we are done? Is it to keep taking schooling? I often talk about how we can get caught up in ‘what is our purpose…what should we be doing with our lives?’ How can we live more purposefully?

Consider this…everyday people come and go, things show up and situations occur. What purpose do these serve us? Have you ever thought about that? What purpose do the people, things and situations in our life serve? How come sometimes we have not so nice people to work with…how come we get speeding tickets when we seem to have no money…how come the government raises the taxes? Everything happens for a reason. Everything offers us an opportunity to learn and grow. What we do with those opportunities makes all the difference.

How do we know we are growing? How do we know we are changing inside? We learn new things everyday in our daily experiences. Allow me to share, from my experience, some of the key elements I feel are true indications of inner growth.

Think of moments of time when everything felt so great like we didn’t have a care in the world….life was wonderful. Now think of moments of time when we felt like our world was not so fun. Those no so fun moments included moments of reactions. Our reactions show us we have inner conflict of some kind. We don’t like something or we don’t care for it…whatever it is we are bothered in some way. Reactions are about us and how we feel. We know we have experienced inner growth when we no longer react like we did before. The changes have to do with our ‘reactions’ to the situation. What bothered us before, no longer bothers us…indicating there was a change in how we feel.

Once the reactions are out of the way…there are additional ways indicating a change inside:

The situation where we reacted before will not present itself again; or the next time it does, we will not react at all;

If we can talk about our issue and our tone changed or we’re not as emotional as we were (in other words we didn’t react like we did before);

If we learn from the experience and can see our role differently in how we can bring resolution, we are moving forward and there is change;

Change can also show up in the length of time our ‘reaction’ lasts. If we used to get mad and stay mad for a week, we may now get mad and stay mad for a day or two. Then one day the issue will be gone and we won’t even react.

Changes are usually very subtle and we may even be the only ones noticing them which is why I share ways you can look for inner growth yourself! Moments of inner peace transform into hours of inner peace. This is one way of living more purposefully.
