Feeling the Blues

Everyone has times where they feel isolated and alone even depressed, at these times life can feel a bit like lifting weights, or we can live life believing that at any moment, the axe will fall. We are told by 'experts' that we should 'think positive thoughts but anyone in a real funk knows that not only doesn't help, but can make you feel like a failure creating distance between you and others. Studies show that thinking positively even for upbeat folks only helps a little when things are going wrong, for those suffering anxiety and depression it can actually make them feel worse.

A long time ago New Age professionals decided that we not only should be responsible for ourselves, but we should also take the blame for corporations going broke (redundancy is your fault), being abused as children (karma and past lives which conveniently removes any requirement for the abused to have done anything wrong, reminiscent of the original sin) and in general for life sucking. For some reason we can't just allow for mistakes, poor choices and living in the now, even though it is touted almost as a biblical text. The very nature of spiritual new age dynamics is meant to offer, not salvation, but a choice of our we interact in our lives right now, today and this affects our tomorrow.

So where does this leave us in the area of depression, anxiety or past trauma, the answer is almost too simple, it leaves us in the position of being able to heal and still feel sadness, still feel anger, still feel depressed, still feel alone or indeed to still feel. It is an impossible if not inhumane request that we stop feeling, it is after all what separates us from other species, to have moved beyond survival to a point where we can separate out and explore how we feel about things. If you don't feel you are considered a sociopath, if you don't feel and you don't care, a narcissist, if you don't feel, don't care and explore your personal desires then likely you will be a psychopath, all of which are serious diagnosis. In the modern world we bandy these about as if they are common, but selfishness isn't narcissism, just as not caring what happens to someone doesn't make you a sociopath, unfortunately wanting to rape or kill others will always make you a psychopath so just don't go there.

Back to the blues and what to do about them. Firstly you need to decide if it is a habit, this may sound a bit trite, but if you tend to be negative geared or go into a tailspin over minor things, it is worth looking into why, if it is a habit, good news you can undertake many programs to come past it or you can look at what your contribution is. For example if you live in a general state of anxiety and overspend or don't earn enough to cover your bills, you know that this is probably the cause and can be alleviated by the help of a budgeting professional or by cutting up the credit card. If you aren't happy one day and start bringing your mind to bear on all the past hurts and damages you have suffered, you are clearly giving yourself a signal that nothing today or right now is the problem, that you haven't learned how to deal with setbacks and rejections. For the most part all you need to do in these moments is ask yourself, how much is this going to affect my life really? Allow yourself to feel just that bad about it and no more.

For ongoing problems and difficulty managing your feelings the benefits of talking to someone, friend, professional or a pet are renowned, there are a few reasons why talking to a friend or family isn't always the wisest choice, they try to either fix the problem or jolly you along so they feel more comfortable. Talking to someone who tends to get impatient can push you to feel even more isolated, and who knows, maybe they have heard it all before or too often.

The benefits of talking to someone, friend, professional or a pet are renowned

Besides a professional there are other choices, we all have things we enjoy, but when we don't feel good are disinclined to do these things, so try this. If you know what is causing the issue, (if you don't worth asking yourself honestly) determine how long you are prepared to let it get you down. If it is a general cycle it is even more important to create a finish point. Time limits are great, they give you permission to feel, they give you an end that you, no one else, has set. This time limit could be a day, ten minutes but should never really be longer than 48 hours. (please note we are not talking about major life disturbances here).

At the beginning of your time limit decide what thing you are going to do that you enjoy, this could be cooking, listening to a concert, visiting a friend or going out for coffee, it doesn't have to include others, being amongst friends can be overrated as a feel good when you don't, but if it is something you want to do then do it, Dare I say exercise? While deep in your personal crisis go for a walk, it has been shown that getting out in nature and walking in particular is uplifting, if you never walk then it is a change and change is good if funks are a regular part of your life. Once your allotted time is over, then go for it as soon as possible, it is even worth timing things so you have an immediate enjoyable experience post funk, this is a way to remind yourself that life can be good too and helps to maintain a balance that click in next time, you may find that you give less time to feeling down or that it doesn't affect you quite so deeply while you have something to look forward to. Good Luck out there...

Life Beyond Healing

Healing should be a short term investment in a happier future, yet many get so caught up in the ideal they buy (quite literally) into years if not a lifetime of heartache. I maintain that any program you choose to put grief, guilt, anger and fear behind you should be successfully completed in no more than a year, no matter what you are doing, if you are doing it two, three or ten years later, it is time to rethink your healing strategy. Sometimes the focus on self healing can be so intense and sustained that those who engage in it are not available to those around them, marriages break down, finding a great relationship gets further away, there can be a sense of isolation because the thought in ones mind may be healing, but the focus is always on self. Incorrectly applied your world can become all about you rather than all about living, and yes there is a difference, a very lonely difference.

Life Beyond Healing is not a program for those who are still mired in pain and twisted pasts, if this is you and you cannot see an end, then perhaps try one of the following, but if you have all but completed the process and wondering how to develop your way and your talents, skip past the healing programs.

DNA reprogramming is a short (daily) intense program for those who have had a rough start and simply do not know where all the stuff comes from. it can be great for those in denial and in particular where there are body issues present that reflect ones parents, or grandparents. We have been told by many eminent cellular biologists that there is no such thing as hereditary disorder, there is only hereditary behaviour, attitude and lifestyle. If you don't know what is wrong with you emotionally or where your behaviours come from, this program is directed toward a problem focus cellular memory from the moment you are conceived to now. It is a Trance Therapy of five sessions with an undirected result, while it is amazing for everyone there is an element of surprise and for many a short period of distress as things within you change.

DNA Restructuring Program


For those who are tired of the roundabout and want to resolve healing once and for all with an eye on living truly in the now, Self Actualization is a clear program with a past, present and a future aspect, It deals with the specifics of healing fear, anger, grief and guilt, then moves on to environmental awareness and a more holistic now. It has the awesome benefit of introducing synchronicity through a subtle play on the present and future influences, this is not a projection but an assuredness that any actions taken in the present reflect what you want for your future. Living in the now requires a sense of security which this program provides in spades and is a combination of Trance and Cognitive Therapy.

Self Actualization

And now back to the future. Manifestation is a very real challenge for many, either lacking motivation or flexibility to be creative in the approach to life. If there is a challenging childhood or painful background it is difficult to find yourself and project that into an innovative future, there is the 'what next' moment and, quite often, a feeling of being rudderless without patterns or addictions to guide you albeit into a brick wall. Life Beyond Healing is about your future and in no way deals with a mucky past, but using Trance and Cognitive Therapy based on you as a person you can discover what you have inside that is perfectly capable of creating the future you see for yourself. We never truly dream of something we can't create, in the instance you are not dreaming of a creation but someone else to create it for you, this program is not for you.If you have an ideal in your mind from, and including, career, lifestyle and relationships with family, friends and lovers, If you have a dream that has eluded you, this program targets what stops you, what you need to develop within yourself and recognition of as yet untapped ability. At any one time the only thing you think you can do is what you have been taught to do or what you teach yourself to do, therefore a new ability is always available to you. This program starts with a full aura and chakra reading and an explanation of who you are, energy therapy to correct anything that prevents your forward motion and Trance Therapy to move through and develop in every single area that is required to achieve your dream. This is a wonderfully inspiring program as many are not aware of the depth of a dream, or how easy it is to doubt your own magnificence. A combination of fortitude, confidence, dream accentuation and motivation is all that is needed to get where you are going quickly, Dorothy is uniquely placed to assist you in utilizing the manifestation techniques that are right for you.

Seeking the Divine

A whole lot of time and energy is expended seeking the Divine without a clear picture or understanding of what the Divine is. Much of the time we are chasing an idea presented by someone else, and just as often their perception is different to our own. 

So what is the Divine, in the dictionary you will find it is of or relating to God or a God. You will also find it relates to heavenly or excellent, and just to add to the mix the dictionary defines the verb as learning through intuition or magic.

As in all life, perception is more real than the actuality, so your perception of the divine will impact greatly on what it is you find. When seeking the divine be clear on your understanding of the word and your intention.

My perception of the Divine is really quite simple. Source. that is it, to me Divine =  Source, Source = Pure Energy , Quanta = Smallest, ie nothing is smaller. 

To have Divine inspiration means to me that you are creating from source the purest energy available to you. All energy evolves and is in constant motion without attachment, when it achieves a pattern you can be sure an intention has been applied and the pattern is the action of intention or the consequence of the intention, these become the atoms that make up physicality or the seeking patterns looking to be matched or enhanced.

Any attempt to find the Divine that is beyond source may lead to disappointment, or knowledge without experiential delights. I say delights because that is how it feels to experience the Divine, it is delightful. To experience the Divine you need to be going inward to your own creation, understand your own intention, and agree to allow yourself to be fully engaged with the energy of source. That is Source of Creation.

and to live in the Divine you need to allow that flow of pure energy to enliven and yes evolve you. Not control your evolution but to learn to live with and enjoy the changes bought by an open access policy, why do we age? Because we limit the energy that is available to us, either due to belief or fear. 

It is often said there is a limitless supply of energy at the quantum level. This has pretty much been proven to be true and in more recent times the enormity of this truth has been bought forward for the public. 

" It is currently acknowledged that if all the subatomic particles were to be added up they would produce and inexhaustible supply of energy of unfathomable proportions, exceeding all energy in matter by a facto of 10 to the power of40, or 1 followed by 40 zeros. "M Cade & N. Coxhead, The Awakened Mind, 2nd ed(shaftsbury,UK:Element,1986Richard Feyman  once remarked that the energy  in a cubic metre of space was enough to boil all the oceans of the world.

When seeking the Divine go within, find the source of energy and the information that comes with it, it is information and the ability to communicate that information, from molecule to molecule, cell to cell, being to being, that determines our environment internal and external. the external is simply a reflection of what lies within, discovery and understanding alters the way we manifest on the planet. If you do not like your world, your life, your self, seek the Divine in your self, and your life, your world will all evolve bringing forward the purest of energy and your manifestations will be Divine which in truth is simply that your world will become an extension of your self. there is true joy in creation at this level and there is nothing more inspiring than to know that the path you walk, takes you firmly into your own divinity.
