You Can't Go Anywhere Until You Are Somewhere
Ever feel like you're constantly chasing the next big thing? New job, new relationship, new you? While setting goals is important, sometimes we forget to appreciate where we are and where we have been. We're so busy chasing the next achievement, we miss out on the joy of the present moment.
You Can’t Get There Until You Are Ready
There is one thing that overwhelmingly comes up in the healings I do for others - people can not be moved into a place they are not ready for. I can try and heal them, clear them, advise them, and tell them their likely path but it won't help them be somewhere they aren't.
So, why bother? Because you can't go anywhere until you are somewhere first. When I offer healing to someone, I am a grounding presence that assists them in the ability to have more of the present moment. Most of the time, we are trying to propel ourselves forward to someplace other than where we currently are. We are always on the go, moving towards new goals, executing plans, and "improving" ourselves.
Living in the illusion of greener pastures is just that, an illusion. We can't put ourselves in alignment with our highest good unless we take the time to notice what is happening right now. This is the real reason a lot of spiritual practices talk about being still and meditating or praying. It is because most of us don't slow down long enough to listen to ourselves and integrate what is.
Start From Here
Assess and assimilate where you are now. This gives you a sense of direction. It will also give you a place to push off from later. A solid sense of where you are now is like looking at a map for directions. You need to know where you are. Otherwise, it is all just random roads and landmarks.
Give these techniques a try:
Write down a list of what you have accomplished today. It could be as simple as getting up this morning.
Set aside some time to nurture yourself, as you are now, without changing anything.
Intentionally work with your breath (try box breathing).
Make a gratitude list.
Look for simple things that create a sense of awe throughout your day.
Figure out your next goal and draw a timeline. Include everything that has brought you to this point. For example, if you want to be a parent, include what has happened to prepare you to take action on that desire.
Set Goals to Your Heart’s Desire
Let the universe know what you would like to co-create. Once you are truly sitting in the present - mentally, energetically, spiritually - have fun setting new goals! You are not in complete control, but that is the fun part!
Meditations to Help Support Your Journey
You just finished the book. Or the course. Or the training you've been looking forward to for months. And somewhere in the back of your mind, a question is sitting there: now what do I do with all of this?
This ten-minute guided meditation is built for exactly that moment. Using light and the energy body as a guide, it walks what you've learned out of your head and into the rest of you, your heart, your gut, the places where information turns into something you actually live by.
You'll be guided into a grounded, quiet state, then gently taken through your energy field, from the crown, where new understanding first lands, all the way down into your heart and your gut, where it settles and becomes real. By the end, what you learned isn't just something you know. It's something you carry.
This is for you if you tend to collect insight faster than you put it into practice, if you've ever finished something meaningful and felt the shift fade a few days later, or if you simply want a quiet ten minutes to let something new settle in before life picks back up.
What you'll walk away with: A calmer, more settled feeling in your body, a clearer sense of which parts of what you learned are actually true for you, and a simple way to return to this practice any time you finish something that mattered.
