flower fertilizer

We are at the point in our Spiritual evolution when the time has come to face once and for all, all of the demons that have kept us in bondage. These could be old issues, childhood pain, divorce, bankruptcy, physical ailments or whatever.

The universe is telling us, not just asking us, to deal with this right now. Until we do so, we are limiting our power to create the kind of world we wish to see.

It's no longer acceptable to be stuck in the smallness of our own narcissism when our greatness is really needed. It is time to release whatever we have kept hidden, especially from ourselves.

In hypno-coaching, we begin our work by looking the demons right in the eye. Going back to what I refer to as "original pain work".

In the altered state we can point the flashlight into the dark recesses of our personal past. It's really amazing what waits there. Sometimes an issue is so irrelevant and childish, yet at the time it happened, it effected us negatively. We are still running with that script in our hands declaring to all "see, see what has been done here - it's unjust, it's totally unfair".

It could have been just a comment by a teacher, or something our mother said (mother's words can kill) "you're so fat, why can't you be more like your sister, thin and athletic" ouch! Let's keep that one filed away really deep!

These comments can become who we "perceive" we are. They have nothing to do with who we really are. Who we really are is a spirit having a physical experience, we're here to learn. Even in our most disfuncitonal, painful place, there is always
something there for us to bring back, reflect on, and ultimately, release.

We must be willing to soften, surrender, give up control, not care if we are right or who was really wrong and mostly, to detach from the opinions of others. We can do this by being willing to accept "what is" right now, this moment is here so we can choose again. We are never stuck, or alone. Though this may be the perception we hold on to.

Not every lesson will feel like fun while it's taking place. And there may be times when we resist growth -fiercely. Every situation comes bearing a gift; an opportunity to become who we really want to be and to live the life we really
want to live.

"The only way to grow is to let go. Take out our old shit and fertilize the flowers." Think of how lovely your garden will look when that is done.
