The Money thing

I change, you change and they change

The last few weeks, let’s rather say MONTH, have been a true roller coaster of learning, growing, swimming (some days only floating) and letting go on the wave of life. My journey!

It was incredible … NO – Wonderful, bitter sweet, painfully beautiful!
All the changes I always wanted in my life, have been manifested and it took me a lot of few moments to see. Changes I wanted to implement and just to BE happy.

 

On this road of change, I stumbled upon new ideas, life styles and people and different believes. A diverse spectrum of creation itself is happening.
What gotten me thinking the most lately is, the various systems we living in.
We all know that these systems are opted out for WANTS – NOW and becoming a slave to money. Society is addicted to all of this. We have been bread towards such a behavior for decades if not centuries. And are now over all surprised, when we look at our children and find the first wake up call and seeing what has happened (so I hope). Like a fine web this structure has been build throughout our lives.
For example, all these in store cards of major retail chains, targeting the masses with the slogan:” you cannot afford to buy, get a card and pay off. “
Now look into your purse and tell me how many cards of these do you have? How many credit cards?
Even with this so called world recession going on, have the banks and retail chains stopped marketing for the masses and underpaid to make these cards attractive?

NO! On the contrary, have heard an advert the other day: get your car on credit approval and drive TODAY – start paying in January!
Lord help me here! January? The worst month of the whole year!!!!

Now that we realizing how enslaved we are, we are more than willing to make changes in this respect.
I remember how for several weeks and month the big financial markets have been occupied. Wonderful how so many people pulled together and showed the support.
BUT – actually it starts at home. Like with everything,

We as society need to change our way of living and perceiving. Our own values, and the world’s values. We need to stop allowing media and cooperates to tell us who we are and why we are and how we are.

This permanent pressure of should and should not. Compromising, true living of ones own life, love and all that is.
Children growing up in a society, where parents both work full time and true love and attention gets replaced with a I-Phone, Wii and more worldly goods. Yes of course this is what kids see and want, as it is shown where ever they go.

Sure this is how life is happening today. But can it be changed?

Easy! hehe
Define what your true needs are, everything beyond that, is a want. Then define, if you truly want it now or it can wait (or you just want to have it now to keep up with the Jonses).
Our world society is thriving on making us wanting everything - NOW.

YES, it is rough and yes it is a HUGE transition.
But start reducing those in store cards and credit cards (yes yes I know, you cannot purchase a house or car if your do not have a credit record, well better non than a crap one). Do not give your hard earned money away for silly interest, on clothes you still paying off, which are already last season.

We all need to eat and live. But how is the question. Scale down to the YOU, you are. Those who will not understand, do truly not matter.
YOU need to sleep peacefully at night and not worrying how you will pay rent on an eight room mansion (where you only occupy two of them).

Remember the old days, when we girls gotten irons, bedding etc for our birthdays? Oh I so hated it! And yet I was grateful that I had it at the end.
Remember, when we saved money to buy our first bicycle or new clothes?
We do not need to have it all  - TODAY! This is where we give our financial power to the banks and corporate.

What we need today is, to remember that things are not people. Things, will not give us love and things will definitely not change the world.

YOU CAN!

For me? I will pay off my Woolworths in store card and close the account.
My motto from now on is: if I cannot afford it now, I do not need it.

Wishing you love and peace on this insanely beautiful journey

Love, light and lightness

Moments that matter

Good Mornings,

what a few days it has been since Friday afternoon.

My kitty Sally was very ill, of chronic kidney failure and was on her way to leave this lifetime. So my son and I went on Friday afternoon to neighbouring village and gotten the: "letting go" remedy from a holistic vet. This remedy would help Sally to let go and pass peacefully.
Saturday morning, Sally was sitting on the kitchen floor, one could see not well. So I picked her up and took her downstairs. Showed her our log house and the forest. Stood there for a while and let her soak in the view of the high trees. Later took her up and laid her on the bed and gave her some more remedy and tea. Again speaking to her: that my son and I are safe and she could let us go!
By 2pm that Saturday she passed.
My son of five told me several times: Mami, it is ok. You can cry. But Sally is now fine and playing with Harry and the rabbit.


Why I am sharing this is: to enjoy the moments and appreciate the beings crossing your path and traveling with you.
Even though I found, we all KNOW to be in the NOW and the moment. We are more than often not, getting in-tangled in "shoulds" and buying just another five minutes of what we think (or others think) we have to do or think.
I have found now, that since Sally was sick and dying, that I became more mindful about what matters. Started DOING and saying things that are truly me. AUTHENTIC.
LOL even am learning to play again with my boy .... Lego! Often in the pace of society (not life) we forget not only what truly matters, we even forget how to be in the moment and how it is done. Just like playing for example.

So today, I wished that I have taken more time out to cuddle with Sally, which has taken so excellent care of me emotionally. With such unconditional love. Today I wished, that I would have not said so often to my son: go and play, I am busy..give me five more minutes. But it is in the past now. Nothing I can make unhappen or change.

Today I understand, that no matter what - it is always possible to just stop and take time out to make matters and moments count. Nothing else actually is important, than these moments. Enriching our lives, filling us up with love, gratitude and appreciation.

Oh and one on the side, Universe is helping me in re-learning and being in the moment. At our new  house, I do not have internet right now ... so lets cuddle and play and go to the beach.

Have an AWesome day and feel the moments

Let go of the old core belief

THIS ~~~~ has been a major thing for me, and let me explain to you why. Because, once released - you live truly happily ever after.
As you all know, on this wonderful journey, we meeting and greeting people and situations in our lives to learn, grow, become aware, accept, allow and let go (lots of let go).
Good things and not so good things or challenges will give us the ride of our lives.
Now how sometimes, it all seem just so unfair and things are getting worse and worse instead of better?


Hej, take it with a pinch of salt, this is Universe handing you another opportunity to RELEASE!We as humans on this journey tend to re-create situations, which make us feel the way we used too. Sadly it is often not so nice and I would like to call it, just for this time---suffering.

Imagine, you are a small child and have had a rough upbringing or a rough experience, which shaped your belief system. Your fear. Lets say for instance, your parents never had time for you, no matter what you did. You always felt not good enough for receiving their love. This now, is one of your core beliefs and fears.
Not being good enough to be loved and love.
What will happen now, that you will carry THIS feeling of knowing and understanding throughout your life and will create all the time situations to feel this way. Comfort the pain we know. With years going by, of course your physical body will start too, showing strain. Giving you signs of discomfort and wanting you to become aware of the suffering within. Some bodies go so far, that one has no more control over the weight, the stomach has ulcers and and and.
No matter what you will touch in your life, subconsciously you will sabotage it already from the beginning.
Yes, this is how it works. Like Shrek said: We are like onions ~ have many layers.

Now what can you do to get hold of this fear? Easy ~ start your journey of becoming aware. Remembering who you truly are.
Knowing, that this too shall pass (oh man, now I said it myself LOL)
Along on your journey, you will invited people and situations into your life, which will assist you in getting down to the nitty gritty and be able to release those fears. There too, are wonderful techniques such as EFT/Tapping for example.
And yes, these fears and old thoughts are nothing else, than an illusion. It can be changed, as quickly as you breath out.

Once you have let this go and are aware for what it is, your life will change almost in an instant.
Physical pains will disappear, your weight might just sort itself out. You will be able to see life in a very very different way and be able to make better choices. For yourself and for all of us.
No more fear and no more darkness.

Love yourself and open up to all those opportunities around you.
We are here to assist and we are here to path the way.

In love, light and lightness
