Spirit is alive!

Even as an energy therapist and hypnotherapist, I still struggle to be grounded. Being in and experiencing the present moment is something that I work towards and I have to admit, the more I practice, the easier it becomes; just like second nature.

During a meditation, I was able to observe how instinctively and subconsciously my spirit strives to be present. My career choices, including that of being a hypnotherapist, makes me focus on the present moment. I work one-on-one with clients. I focus on their experiences and help them achieve the necessary changes to improve the quality of their lives. This requires me to attentive, inspired and be aware of events that occur in present time. My meditation brought this to my awareness.

Spirit always serves your highest good. Trust in your spirit and honor the process that it takes. Even when all seems to be bleak, reevaluate your choices, those that are permanent and those that can be changed. By doing so, you will begin to notice patterns. Through these patterns spirit gives you what you need. Can you observe how spirit tries to serve you?

Lets use my friend as a quick example. He was laid off a year ago and has not found a job in his field but has managed to find part-time work that he doesn't connect with. He has 2 part time jobs. Now, the ego might put pressure, and express disappointment that his career has not flourishing. It might even beat him down and cause him to be stressed, ashamed, and angry. Spirit, on the other hand, created a situation where his essential needs are met (food, shelter) and yet he is carefree. In his previous career he was always worried about performance. Now, in his current jobs, he doesn't worry at all about it. He doesn't have expectations, "shoulda, wouldca, couldma, musta." It's a blessing in disguise. For the first time in his life, he is actually stress free!

Maybe not all our situations and experiences are ideal, but if you change your perspective, you change your life! I welcome you to trust that all is always well. Listen to your spirit. It will lead you to a life of happiness!
