Embrace All That You Are: Part 6

One of the people I adore, admire and respect is pop star sensation Lady Ga Ga.   She's not only a talented performer and entertainer, but she is outrageous, bold and courageous.   And I Love IT!

In my humble opinion, Lady Ga Ga is one of the few people in this world who outwardly exemplifies embracing all that they are!  

What can I say?  I Love Ga Ga!   She is who she is -- and she makes no apologies for it!

Please know that, I'm no way under any misguided belief that she has no issues.  She's only human after all! However, whatever issues she may have or had -- makes  Lady Ga Ga a shining example of embracing all that you are.  And I adore her for it!

*~*~*~*~*

Recently I was reading a recent newsletter from  EFT Practitioner and Author,  Margaret Lynch (another talented and truly gifted woman I Love to pieces!).  In it she talked about how Rolling Stone Magazine had referred to Lady Ga Ga's then recent release -- The Edge of Glory -- was boring.  *LOL*   

Can you just imagine Lady Ga Ga ... boring?  

To be honest, when I first saw the video for The Edge of Glory, my immediate reaction was how tamed the video was.  I mean ... c'mon!  Compared to all her videos ... it was tamed!  But boring?  No, don't think so!

But Rolling Stone's take on the whole matter was very interesting.    Margaret brought out some very profound thoughts on the subject in her newsletter.  Here's an excerpt: 

"Wow, imagine that!  Imagine being so fearlessly over-the-top outrageous on such a regular basis that performing in a “dominatrix swimsuit” gets called boring.  Seriously!   Just as interesting, they seem to respect this toned down move as actually taking courage…for her, that is. "

 Now the whole point to Margaret's newsletter was to inspire us all to be free and courageous in expressing ourselves with absolute abandonment.  To be ourselves in utter completeness.       She even included a great tapping script to help us get there! (dont' forget to sign up to Margaret's newsletters so you don't miss all those goodies!)

*~*~*~*~*

 Like my friend Margaret, I urge you to take a moment to think how it would feel--how totally wonderful it would feel-- to be that free.   Allow yourself to really feel how it would be to truly Embrace All That You Are and really show it outwardly. 

I'm not asking you to be like Lady Ga Ga (unless, of course you want to dress up in some wild costume  and do some lip synching to your favorite Ga Ga tune -- by all means do it! *LOL*).  No, what I am urging you to do is ... Embrace All That You Are -- Everything you are, then boldly stand in that truth of Who and What you Are!  Allowing NO ONE to shame you or convince you of being anything less!

To help you in this exercise ... pick three people (living or dead) whom you admire.  Write it down on a piece of paper.  Now, on this same piece of paper, under the names of each of those people you chose, write down what you admire about them.  What are some of their attributes that are called to your attention?

Guess what?  Those attributes of those three people you chose -- are the very same attributes IN YOU!

The physical mind has to have a point of reference in order to recognize anything.   So unless you possess those qualities yourself -- you can't see them in others.

Good, bad or indifferent -- Embrace All These Things--because you are ... All These Things!  Give unconditional thanks for them all being in your life!  And express unconditional Love for each and every single one of them.

Try it!  If only just for one day!  Try it!   Let me know how it makes you feel.

If you have any questions and/or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Forgiveness: Part 3 ~ The By-Products of Forgiveness

 There are many  by products of practicing forgiveness.  Here in part 3 of my on going blog series entitled Forgiveness, we will take a look at a few of them.

Good Health and Genuine Happiness
It has been proven that people who practice forgiveness on a regular basis are healthier and happier.

When you live in the state of forgiveness, your body is more relaxed.  Your heart rate and blood pressure stay on a normal healthy level.  This in turn creates a better flow of oxygen to the brain. A better flow of oxygen leads to clearer thinking and the wherewithal  to remaining calm and centered even during stressful situations.

People who practice forgiveness are not blind to the events taking place in the world.  They are not ignorant of the negativity that exists here on the earthly plane.  On the contrary! 

 People who practice genuine forgiveness are very much aware of everything happening to them and all around them.    But instead of living as a prisoner to all the negativity, they consciously make a choice to take (and keep) control of themselves.   Because they  know first hand the damaging results of holding on to any pain, they consciously exert the effort to maintain the energies of forgiveness.  In particularly, the forgiveness of self.  

Clarity and Expanded Conscious Awareness
As you sift through all the pain, releasing it through unconditional love & forgiveness, you begin to see more clearly.    The act of forgiveness literally lifts the veil allowing you to see  everyone involved did the best they knew how at that given time.    Even in the most harsh situations, we now can see how we may have done better -- but were not in a position to do so at that time.   But now we know we did the best we could.  The best we knew how at that given time.  We now see that everyone was doing the best they knew how.

We now can see how we have benefited from all those experiences.  How it has created the person we are today.  How it has led us back to our true selves!

Through the act of forgiving our Self -- we can now take all the wonderful things we learned with us … leaving behind only those things that no longer serves us.   We can now walk upright, shoulders back and chin up.  We now know who and what we are.   

This knowing brings us to the next by product of the forgiveness of self  . . . 

Courage 

Forgiving one’s self -- genuinely and unconditionally -- brings a type of courage  that no one can take away.

Forgiveness of Self breaches the energies of  our self-imposed prison -- freeing us --opening up our eyes to all the lies we‘ve been told and had continued telling ourselves throughout our lives.  

Like a rubber band stretched too far -- we snap back into full awareness.  It is then we become conscious of -- and fully connected to --  who and what we are.  We feel the fuel of  righteous indignation bubbling up, reaching a boiling point … and that's when it  happens.   That's when We suddenly stand up and say with conviction … shouting it to the heavens ... our independence!   It is in that moment ... We take back our power!  We take back what  what is rightfully ours -- OUR SELF! 
We now ... finally and fully ... comprehend that Everything we experience comes from within.  That the choice to live in freedom or to live in a self-imposed prison was always our choice to make.   We finally get it!  

Feels good … doesn’t it?

So what are you waiting on?  Your Self is waiting for You!
