  • Rising Above the Challenges
    Feb 23 2023

    How good are you at letting things go? For some people, this is a very difficult process. The phoenix rising from the ashes is a wonderful analogy for remembering how important it is to rise above it all.

    One of the most difficult things to do during any process is to learn how to keep the faith. It is easy to get discouraged. Without the struggle, we don’t have as much appreciation for the outcome. Great work takes time and if you are going to all of the trouble to create and forge a new life, then you already know it will take some effort.

    This Phoenix Rising from the Ashes is also a wonderful analogy for rebirth. It shows us that we can emerge from catastrophe stronger, smarter, and more powerful than we were before. This meditation is a wonderful exercise for growth and renewal.

    Sometimes we are kicked out of our comfort zone for a reason. Perhaps we were meant for much more. They say we are never given more than we can handle but many of us question that at times.  

    Like a phoenix rising from the ashes our struggles are what make us shine. Emerging from the struggle really gives us an intense and joyful appreciation. Looking back, we realize that our struggles made us the incredible person we are today.

    Acknowledge the fact that in order to attract new solutions, you must sometimes let the pieces fall so you can start fresh again.

  • How to Let Go and Let Life Flow
    Jan 24 2023

    It can be difficult to feel happy if you are resisting life at every turn. This relaxing calm meditation can help you loosen your grip on life and feel better.

    Whatever you resist persists, so learning how to let go can really help you move into a new mindset, a happier mindset.

    We all have a tendency to try and control things. While that may be a good thing in theory, it’s not actually a very practical way to live.

    For example, your current situation in life is the way it is, whether you like it or not. When you constantly feel unhappy or restless, you create a certain amount of resistance, which creates a barrier that keeps good things from coming in.

    Acknowledging the bad things that you have drawn into your life is the first step to letting go of and allowing better things in.

    Sometimes certain people or certain situations are brought into our lives to teach us something. Acceptance and acknowledgment is the key here because resisting only makes you feel worse!

    When you begin to move into a space of grateful appreciation, even for those negative or hurtful things, you begin to move into a space of optimism and hope.
