The power of $15mil

This time last week for more than half an hour I sat with the thought that I was the winner of $15 million! Someone in Kiama had won Oz Lotto and I had a ticket. When I walked into the hairdressers they were talking about it and I stopped in my tracks and said ‘I’ve got a ticket’. While I sat in the chair having my hair cut I thought of what I would do with it. Buy the healing centre I had been focused on for the past 25 years, start the two foundations I had also been planning for a very long time (I even have names for them), fix the things around the house that need fixing, maybe move but that would require some thought, donate money for research into Cystic Fibrosis (one of my granddaughters has CF) and so, so much more….

What a wonderful feeling it was knowing all the things I could do. How empowered I felt, how motivated, how alive.

Then when I did check my ticket, alas it was not the winning one. My bubble had burst. The difference in how I felt was interesting. It was as if my power had been taken away. Why was that? Why is it that we associate money with power? This would then infer that if we have insufficient money we have insufficient power. An interesting conundrum if the only way we can have power is to have an abundance of money. This brought up memories of childhood, an old belief that I had picked up from my parents, which when I realised I quickly removed it with ThetaHealing® and installed a different one. We had also been talking at the hairdressers about people who had won large amounts of money spent it all and ended up worse off financially than they were before they had the win. What is it that makes people do that? Is it an unconscious belief that makes them get rid of it because it’s uncomfortable, because they don’t know who they are with all that money or so they just feel the urge to buy as many things as they can until it is all gone? Interesting!

When I arrived home there was a real estate agent brochure and on the front cover was a property that would make a fabulous healing centre. What was I meant to read into that? So many questions that day! Now the picture of the property is stuck up on the wall behind my computer for me to look up at all the time. I still have the power even without the money. Instead of sitting here feeling un-empowered | that I can do nothing | what difference can one person make| etc….   I am now fired up/empowered to manifest all that I thought I could do with that $15 million and how I can put it in place. And how would I feel if I did have $15 million ~ I would feel I could do and achieve anything I set my mind on!

Self-Responsibility

We hear that word bandied around but what does it actually mean? It means taking ownership of your decisions, your words, your actions, and all the consequences that come as a result. It means acknowledging the role you play in both the successes and failures

The importance of loving yourself

“The fundamental problem that most patients face is the inability to love themselves.” Bernie Siegel MD

I remember reading his book Love, Medicine and Miracles back at the end of the ’80’s and it resonated so deeply with me, something shifted inside.

Women of my generation have been taught to be perfectionists

We were taught that we need to be all things to all people

We were taught that to do something for ourselves,

to think of ourself was selfish … the very worst sin you could commit it seemed

Then you had people screaming that women can have it all

You could have children, be a mother AND have a high powered job

You could do anything and everything a man could do

What happened as a result of those high expectations was a generation of women who exhausted their bodies and their spirits trying to pack in all that they thought they were supposed to do

Be the 1950’s housewife with the perfect home & perfectly behaved children
and at the same time compete with men in the corporate world.

What an unsustainable, insurmountable goal that was!

In order to attempt to juggle all those balls in the air women had to sublimate their own needs to the needs of others.

When that happens our emotions have to shout louder and louder in order to get out attention

and because there is no time or space to focus on ourselves, plus we’ve been taught that to do so is wrong
thoughts and emotions get pushed further and further down
and that’s when the physical symptoms begin

[I read that martyrs experience chronic resentment – that was so me when my children were younger!]

When you look at this very simplified explanation you can see the problems this created,

both in my generation and the generations to follow.

Each generation tries to rebalance the wrongs they felt the previous generation inflicted upon them

I see the same things manifesting in my clients,
each generation having their own set of issues
and most of them say they feel stuck.

At the crux of all of it is the need
to be seen and heard, to be validated and acknowledged

and how quick the turnaround and change begins when that happens!

Focusing on yourself is not selfish,
experiencing pleasure is not selfish,
they are both crucial for vibrant health!

Money is the Root of All Evil …

Did you hear that when you were growing up? Perhaps you heard ….. ‘Money doesn’t grow on trees’, ‘we can’t afford it’, ‘I don’t know how we’re going to pay these bills’, ‘you need money to make money’, ‘you have to work hard to earn
