No matter what the source of our blocks and
whether we are able to fully articulate them
- we can make progress toward clearing
them. These simple tools can provide you
clarity and insight into helping shake those
disruptions and keep yourself on the path to
your higher self.
1. Gratitude
This is the most powerful tool in your
arsenal. The vibration of gratitude has the
power to overcome just about all negativity.
Every time you start to feel overwhelmed
or anxious take a moment and recite a
gratitude prayer or make a habit of keeping
a gratitude list.
PRACTICE IDEA: Every morning or
evening write three (3) things that
you are thankful for that day. This
can be a very simple list. The last
two days of my gratitude list are:
Today, I am filled with gratitude and
appreciation for 1. Great smelling hay
for my animals; 2. Friends to help
unload the hay; 3. Great nail artist
who painted peacock feathers on my
nails. Today, I thank the universe for
providing me with 1. A morning breeze
to enjoy while meditating; 2. An iced
latte made with my favorite gano-cafe;
3. My kids doing their laundry.
WISDOM & SELF-GROWTH
Everyday we deal with blocks and disruptions
in our own energy, flowing from any number
of sources . The great news is that you
hold the power to clear these blocks and
restrictions and get back on course to your
true divinity.
You can write these on sticky notes
and put them around where you can
see them, or you can keep these
bound in a journal. I am guilty of
jotting these down on random scraps
of paper on my desk. I get to enjoy
them as they pop up at the perfect
time, this way. It doesn’t matter how
you collect or deliver your gratitude.
The act of being thankful will propel
you through many blocks in your
energy with vibration alone!
2. Journaling
Writing your thoughts, ideas, experiences
can be a cathartic expression of the energy
that doesn’t serve your higher self. When
you have an outlet for the energy that is
not congruent to your vibration, you release
the energy and emotion feeding the block
into the Universe. The Universe is a master
at redirecting energy to the most useful
purpose - so give that which doesn’t serve
you back to be use for a divine use.
PRACTICE IDEA: As part of your daily
practice journal for 5 minutes (or
whatever amount of time you have
available). I prefer to do stream
of consciousness - I just write
whatever comes, even if it doesn’t
make sense in the moment. Then
when you go back and read it later,
it invariably speaks to something
