Empowering People to Resurrect their Lifestyle Dreams from their Financial Ashes

So many people say to me that they are waiting for a sign or a message from the Creator, The Universe etc but they never seem to get them. This is an interesting dilemma. Is it that there isn’t a message being sent or is it that the person is not open to receiving it? Or do they just try to over think it or over analyse it.

People really start to doubt the existence of God because they think that it is a very one-sided conversation. But what if God, the Creator, Universe etc spoke through the things around us. Just to clarify, I am not talking about a talking toaster or if suddenly a person on TV starts talking directly to you. It can be much more subtle than that.

Every second we are bombarded with tens of millions of pieces of information but can only handle a minute fraction of all that. We have what is called a Reticular Activating System (RAS), and this is what prevents us from getting overwhelmed and overloaded. Our belief system (BS) helps to program the RAS, so if we are not noticing things maybe we need to tweak our beliefs so that we can. Remember in my last post I talked about how we create in our lives what we say about ourself, well this is a great example. What about if I were to say that God never listens or speaks to me? What would happen there, even if there was a huge booming “God” voice, my RAS would not pick it up. So on the other hand if my belief is that God always listens to me and speaks to me, it will not require a huge “God” voice to get my attention, the message can be subtle and I will receive it.

One of my strengths in life is to notice the little things (The distinction is in the noticing, not concerning, concentrating, obsessing etc, this allows me to notice and then move on.) This strength lies in a belief, and therefore it will influence my RAS. I will be out and about experiencing my day and anytime I have a question or want to know something, I just need to allow the answer to come in the way that it does.

A recent example is when I went to see the movie, Avatar. This is a really awesome movie, and it is filled with many spiriutual messages. One message that was particularly poignant was when the main character Jake was connecting to the tree of souls (Mother Goddess Ehwa) to ask for help, Neytiri said to him that the Goddess doesn’t work that way and that she only maintains the balance of life. Jake says that it couldn’t hurt to ask for help. This scene was a message to me to live without placing restrictions on the ability of The Creator and those around me. How many times have you restricted the potential of those around you or even yourself? I know I used to.

When I was on my first Advanced ThetaHealing™ Course my Teacher, who is an amazing woman, would often talk about the conversations that she was having with God/ The Creator and I sat in awe just wishing that one day I could have the same strong connection as she had. Well, I was teaching the very same course only last year when one of my students said to me that they wished that they had as strong a connection as I had. This comment made me sit up and appreciate how far I had come (yet another important message). How many people would like to be as connected as Vianna is, yet they are unaware of how connected they really are. Maybe Vianna is more open to receiving the messages than others, and if that is the case then it is only a matter of changing your beliefs to be more connected.

With my own connection, I also get messages through music. I will be thinking of an idea and a song will come on with a line of lyrics that provide me with an accurate insight. Now I know people could say that I am just making the song fit into the situation, and you know what they are right… according to them (BS and RAS). According to me, my reality is the one I need to concern myself with. I even had a person once tell me that I wasn’t getting to the 7th plane because I get messages in the form of lyrics. She said that I was working on the 6th Plane where music and tones are used. Lucky for me I am not easily influenced and her comments had no effect, because I know 100% where my messages come from. And you know what, she was only talking through her RAS!

So no matter what form or what media your messages come to you in, as long as you are looking for and open to receiving it, you will. As a novice ThetaHealing™ Practitoner, I never thought that I would be as connected as I am today. I am truly living the ThetaHealing™ Lifestyle, I am constantly connected to the 7th Plane energy and life is amazing. Everyday I notice the little things and give thanks to the messages that I am receiving, however they chose to come. And I find that the messages are a lot clearer when I take my head out of my RAS.

“Whether you think you can or think you can’t – you are right” – Henry Ford

These are very wise words and going in to the new year, they may just be the words that could make the hugest difference in your life. Already people have expectations of what 2010 has in store for them. What are you saying about the year ahead? Will it be the best year ever, will it be more of the same, will it be a year of hardship or a year of love and abundance. In 2010 will you survive or thrive?

In ThetaHealing™, Vianna Stibal teaches us about the power of our words and thoughts. When we are in a Theta State we are able to manifest things into our life at an ever quickening rate. Of course it is only us that sees things as good or bad, so maybe we need to be more cautious and focussed on what we want.

Have you ever noticed that when people say that they are bad at something, they generally are. Take for instance the person that you meet that says “You’ll have to excuse me, I am really bad at remembering names, so I will probably forget yours.” Well, I was a little like that a few years ago. When I was in the midst of depression, I used to say I had the memory of a goldfish… oh, look a rock… oh, look a rock… and so it goes on. Pretty funny, maybe now but certainly not at the time. I had lost a lot of my cognitive ability and I was going through one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. During my discharge from the Military, I had to fill out forms, and complete heaps of complicated processes that if I did them wrong, my future entitlements would be wiped, and subsequently were. I was told that I had no future and that I would always have depression. I was being discarded with little to no help or hope. Not a great outlook for a woman in her mid 30’s.

I remember hearing the quote by Henry Ford one day and its words started a great shift within me. Could it be that simple? I stopped saying that I was depressed, I started to say that I was great at remembering names, and slowly started to reassure myself that my memory was reliable. I had been saying that it felt like my brain had gone away on a holiday. I remember the day my brain came back, it was such a joyous occasion. I actually felt smart again. I completely changed what I said about myself.

During the year after I was discharged from the Army, I studied Neuro Linguistic Programming, I studied with Doreen Virtue and I was well and truly on my path with ThetaHealing™ by becoming a Practitioner. Last year I became the first ThetaHealing™ Master in Australia and this year was awarded a ThetaHealing™ Certificate of Science. All of the courses I funded myself with no assistance from the Military. I knew that my recovery from depression laid within re educating myself, and it has. Each course I complete provides me with the means to recreate my life the way I want to live it. Not too bad for a woman with no future. One of my biggest triumphs is that I now teach people how to use these very tools that have saved my life.

Another insight on being what you say you are, is the idea that people have of being a “survivor/survivour”. Anyone who knows me would know that I love the show called Survivor, but that is as far as things go. How many people do you hear that are Cancer survivors, Abuse survivors etc? For as long as they say that they are a survivor, that is all they will ever be. I am not a Depression survivor. I refused to cap my true potential at that level, I want to thrive and that is exactly what I am doing. What words do you use to describe yourself that are capping your true potential?

These days I have a great memory, I am great at math, I am free of depression, I am an awesome ThetaHealing™ Teacher and practitioner and I am abundant in all areas of my life. Even in my “trying” moments I am exactly what I say I am, so if I am not enjoying my experience I change what I am saying about myself. Thanks for reading,

In our day-to-day lives we do things according to our Values, Vision and Vibration without even being aware of it. If at any time, any or all three are out of alignment, usually the outcome is less than optimal. It has taken me a long time to work out the delicate model that when I am in alignment with, always assures me a very happy day indeed.

I really love teaching ThetaHealing™ and know that this is one time in my life that I truly live my bliss. When I look at why this is the case, I am drawn to the 3 V’s. ThetaHealing™ has the same values as me, the Vision is the same, and the Vibration is amazing. So that all adds up to me having a wonderful existence. When any of the V’s are missing or what I am doing is not in alignment with my 3 V’s, then the flow slows or totally stops, the day becomes clunky and I am having to work hard to get anywhere.

This week whilst teaching a ThetaHealing™ Boot Camp (Basic and Advanced ThetaHealing™ Practitioner’s Course, and Manifesting and Abundance Course, all taught back to back) it became very obvious to me that the 3 V’s can be applied to everyone and everything. My students and I spoke at length about the times in our lives when we were out of alignment with ourselves and the resulting misery or drama.

All too often we allow other things to infiltrate our lives and when they are out of alignment with our Values, Vision and Vibration, there is a huge disparity and we are left feeling low, depressed or overwhelmed. By keeping in alignment with our 3 V’s, we can live the life we truly deserve. But we need to know what they are first. What are your Values, Vision and Vibration?? Maybe you need to have a closer look at yourself and your life.

In her teachings for ThetaHealing™, Vianna Stibal talks about the importance of the 3 R’s. Resentments, Regrets, and Rejections. To be able to clear these is an amazing way to heal yourself. I have cleared an enormous amount of “stuff” using these simple yet effective procedures, and firmly believe that they are the very reason that I am able to be as clear as I am. And now to be able to implement the three V’s adds a whole new dimension to my life. I am better equipped to honor myself and my souls journey, and live without the distractions that I allowed to rule my life previously.

So next time something doesn’t quite feel right, check in with the 3 V’s. When you are in full alignment with them, you will be in your flow.

This time of the year is usually filled with love, joy and the Christmas Spirit, which is great, but many people are left in dire financial situations, after embarking on a huge ‘over’ spending spree. And for what purpose?

Our need to ‘buy’ our loved ones that ‘perfect’ gift drives us to lose sight of what is important in our own lives and ultimately dictates our standard of living.

One of my good friends used to be caught in that never ending bad credit cycle. She always wanted to give everyone what they wanted at Christmas time, and would wear the consequences of her actions for a good half a year or more, as she paid down her credit card only to do it again the next Christmas and the next, etc.

The other thing that she would do year after year was to make a New Years resolution to reduce her spending. That would realistically last until the next shiny thing appeared which would always be during the post Christmas sales. Does any of this sound familiar to you? Or maybe someone you know?

When I asked my friend about her financial goals she just gave me a puzzled look and said that she didn’t know what I was talking about. Her answer shocked me. After a short discussion about what she wanted to achieve in her life I started to explain to her how the use of a budget could actually help her attain her financial goals. Her immediate response was that budgets are evil and they restricted her current standard of living.

Ah, hello! Wasn’t her standard of living already restricted by maxed out credit cards???

My parents instilled in me from a young age good financial skills and knowledge. They showed me how to implement a budget to achieve my financial goals and achieve great wealth, as well as having fun along the way.

By using a budget to my advantage with the ability to invest my pocket money I was able to start my journey to wealth creation from a young age. I had a knack of knowing what I wanted in life and what I was prepared to do to achieve that result. By knowing these two things, a budget is an integral addition to any one’s strategy to create their ideal life.

As I said earlier, my friend sees budgeting as restrictive and as a burden. Her up brining was very different to mine. Money was never spoken of and the family’s finances were hidden from her as a child. So what she did learn about budgeting was from school, which incidentally was the same place where she was told that she was bad at math. This obviously left a bad impression so she rebelled against her own finances. She has a big heart and loves to give, but she is so unaware of her financial situation, that it is sending her broke.

This started me to thinking how many people are there that have similar money issues as my friend. Well it turns out there are heaps.

Most people just manage their finances enough to get from pay packet to pay packet.

What if you could do it a different way?

Merry Christmas.

What’s in a name? Whether people spell/type the word ThetaHealing™ or Theta Healing it  really doesn’t matter except of course that the founder Vianna Stibal has called it ThetaHealing™ and so I guess she is the one who knows better than the rest of us. Just one look at her website will clear up any confusion that anyone has.

Does it make a difference if people don’t spell it correctly? I guess that it would depend on what you want. Do you want someone who is in alignment with Vianna’s work or do you want someone who  spells the name of the modality however they want. Some would argue that this is just a petty issue but my question to them is, would this be acceptable  in any other modality e.g. Rei Ki, Pra Nic Healing, Hypno Therapy or Psycho Logy to name but a few. Some ThetaHealing™ teachers and practitioner’s can’t even get the spelling of Vianna’s name right. Again it looks like a minor detail but is it really?

In Australia, ThetaHealing™ is listed in Magazines as Theta which only contributes to peoples confusion of what it really is. I have had arguments with magazines that I have advertised in, to change the word to ThetaHealing™ with limited success because people are reluctant to change. Why, well apparently it was all set up too long go and no one apart from me has ever had an issue with it. So if something that was done in the past is wrong, it would seem by their thinking that we just have to get over it. I don’t think so!! There is a very simple concept that is ” if you don’t value it, either will anyone else”. So because I value ThetaHealing™ I will continue in my quest to have people spell it correctly, and one person at a time the change will happen.

 This is why all too often ThetaHealing™ is compared to Scientology and other Theta brainwave techniques, because the name Theta is not an adequate descriptor, it is only a part of what we do. We utilise the Theta brainwaves to get ourselves into a Theta State and then we perform our healings whilst in this Theta State. Pretty simple really.

So when people ask me why I am so passionate about this issue, I will ask them why they are not? ThetaHealing™ was instrumental in fully turning my life around, and I truly appreciate Vianna for sharing this modality with the world, so I will represent this modality with the same appreciation and respect. Hardcore?? Probably! Do I know what I believe in and am passionate about? Absolutely! What is it that fills you with the same passion??

How many times in your life do you remember thinking that everything was out of your control? I can remember too many times to list here. All too often I would just say to myself that I was being flexible and “going with the flow”, but I was seriously deluding myself. It just kept me from making a decision to commit to something that I would probably just end up ruining. It was such a life-preserving pattern that was apparently keeping me safe. The only problem was, it wasn’t. In the Military, I was so flexible that I was called upon to do things that others wouldn’t. I saw this as being of service and eventually I would be rewarded for it. This never happened, but what did happen was that I constantly expected to rise to the occasion, a type of performance punishment, until I was totally burnt out. That was a very scary day indeed. I had seen myself as most Military people see themselves, six-foot tall and bulletproof, but on this day I was just over five foot tall and not even waterproof. That was the day that I owned up to my depression. It would be over one and a half years before I would feel secure enough to own anything or even take responsiblity for any aspect of my life. My depression consumed every aspect of my life and numbed me from my harsh reality. I guess that if I had been able to really feel the pain of my life, the outcome would have been a very different one. Maybe it was that numbness that helped me on to my spiritual path. The thoughts such as “I have nothing left to lose…” and “they already think the worst of you…” were main players in my search for alternative treatment. I used ThetaHealing™ to not only get me out of depression but to continually change my negative, ineffectual beliefs as they presented themselves, into positive, empowering beliefs that allowed me to take responsibility of my own life and ultimately my own reality. This has made a massive difference in my life to the extent that my compensation claim for major depression was actually rejected because the Military Specialist could see no evidence of depression. I had done so much work on changing beliefs and healing myself that I didn’t receive any monetary compensation. Was I upset at this? Absolutely, but I had two choices, either fight for what I thought that I was entitled to, or take it as a compliment that I did some awesome healings and get on with my life. And that is exactly what I chose to do! So what do you choose in your life? Do you merely survive or do you thrive? Who is responsible for your life? If the answer does not have your name in it, you have some work to do.
