The Fear of Change Causes Us To Play It Safe.

I think we would all agree, when there is a major or even a small change happening in our life, whether it is our doing or brought on by someone else, it causes a sense of fear. The "what if's" start bursting forth creating havoc in our life's balance. We start worrying and doubting the correctness of our next steps. We imagine all the possible things that can go wrong, instead of focusing on the amazing possibilities change can bring.

Fear is a natural human instinct. It is in our biology to use the emotion of fear to keep us safe in a dangerous world. We would not want to change this, but perhaps we could see fear for what it actually is, when it appears in our present life.

First of all, recognize that most worries and doubts causing your fear are nothing more than old memories or a learned belief you bought into, or picked up from someone else in the past.

Secondly, understand that the root of your fears can be uncovered and discarded, and replaced by more empowering beliefs.

I have noticed that most of the clients I work with, facing a life change, have either the fear of rejection or the fear of failure.

When we are hit repeatedly with rejection or we have failed or have been told we are a failure over and over again, we tend to perceive or label the experience as something negative. When this happens it becomes a belief of "I am not worthy", "I can't," "I am not good enough", and so on.

Feeling like you don't belong or you are a failure doesn't feel good and it lowers your energetic vibration.

Consider what would happen if you reframed the way you perceive rejection or failure. What if you could see rejection as a learning lesson and failure simply as a temporary setback?

These temporary defeats wake us up and move us in a different direction, more often than not, in the direction of our passion and purpose.

We are not meant to be limited by our fears. We are unlimited beings with enormous potential. No matter what the change or goal you want to achieve, know there are risks involved. But if you always play it safe, you will not grow. Growth only comes from stretching your comfort zone.

There are Universal Laws that govern our lives. Two of these laws govern our ability to attract abundance. The first is the Law of Vibration and the secondary law is the Law of Attraction.

The Universal Law of Vibration states everything is in motion. Everything in both the material and spiritual world moves, vibrates, and travels. Each thought, feeling, desire, though unseen, has its own unique vibration frequency.

The Universal Law of Attraction states every thought sends out a signal and each thought attracts a matching signal back. This creates the experiences, events, and people that come into our lives.

With these two Universal Laws in mind let's consider the steps needed to attract a desired outcome.

1. Intention: Here we ask for what we want. It is good to be specific. "I want more money so I can pay off my credit card debt by the end of the year." Your intention is the seed sent to the Universe, which you need to nurture until you have reached your goal.

2. Why: What is the reason behind your request? In this case it is to pay off your credit card debt right? Not necessarily. Your why is the emotion behind your request. Most likely it is not really the money to pay your debt you want, but the freedom to work fewer hours and spend more time with your kids, when you are debt free. Whatever it is, there has to be an emotional charge backing up your desire.

3. Focus: What you focus on expands. You need to focus on what you want instead of what you don't want. You can't be wishy washy going back and forth with your thoughts. As soon as you start thinking about want you don't want, you start attracting more of what you don't want.  It moves the energy away from what you do want decreasing your ability to attract what you want and increasing the ability to attract what you don't want.

4. Awareness: The best way to keep your focus on what you want is to be an observer of your thoughts. This means you need to be aware of what you are thinking. When your thoughts start wavering toward negativity, worry, doubt, or fear, acknowledge them, thank them for showing up, and choose to change your thoughts to a higher more positive vibration. Do not confuse knowing with awareness. You may know how you react in certain situations, but awareness is being present when the thought occurs, acknowledging it in the moment, so you have the ability to choose a different thought. 5. Alignment: The vibration of your being has to match the vibration of your desire. For example: you want to attract a loving, happy relationship but the vibration level you are in is loneliness, sadness, and depression. It is like tuning into your local radio station and expecting to hear a song playing on a different channel. Now it is not always easy to jump from one thought to another, such as love and happiness, when you have been thinking about loneliness and sadness for a long time. You can however, gradually raise your vibration by practicing love, gratitude, and forgiveness.

David Hawkins Scale of Human Consciousness

I have included David Hawkins Scale of Human Consciousness to help you understand the vibrations we send out. Most humans are around 200 (getting by). To be in the flow of the Universe you should strive for Love or Higher.

Rather you are aiming toward a particular goal, or you are just going with the flow, you are sending signals out into the universe all the time. The Universe never ignores your signals, regardless of the vibration level of your thoughts, attracting the same energy back to you. As you sow, you shall reap. You are a co-creator.

Now that you have the steps pertaining to the Law of Attraction there is one more step you need to take.

Action! When the Universe starts sending opportunities, people, events and experiences to help you achieve your goal, you need to be open to accept them and then take action. Even if it is a small step toward your goal, once taken, will start a continuous flow of abundance that can change your world.

Over twenty five years ago, I received a deck of Tarot Cards as a gift from a friend of my. He knew I was into mysticism, spiritual growth, and self improvement, so he thought it an appropriate gift. And at that time, i knew nothing about the tarot card. One day, when my daughter was leaving for college, I came across the long forgotten Tarot Cards. After my daughter left for college, I started playing around with them. The more I used the Tarot Cards, the more I resonated with them. I knew these cards were a fit for me and I wanted to master in I wanted to master learning them.

The years went by, and countless readings for me and others, my intuition increased. Events, situations, thoughts and problems all brought a Tarot card to mind, that was a perfect fit for the matter in question. The more I related them to my life, personalizing them, the easier it became to intuit the cards. I definitely credit using the Tarot as a divination tool, followed by becoming a Certified Master Reiki Practitioner, the key to awakening my intuition. Let me tell you about some of the things Tarot Card sessions have helped me and others with, and can help you with as well.

Getting Clarity: Sometimes we are so emotionally involved in a situation we can't see anything but the problem. When you are relaxed and centered, you allow Divine Guidance, AKA your intuition, to speak though the cards with only the highest truth. Your intuition is neutral, objective, and non judgmental.

Self Improvement: The Tarot can point out areas in your life, or parts of you, that need improvement. Sometimes, it can be difficult when the cards show us a part of ourselves we don't like or are denying, but the only path to growth is awareness.

Make Decisions: The Tarot can show you where you are in the present moment and highlight options that may be available to you. Seeing where each direction may lead can help you decide which choice is best for you. The Tarot does not tell you the future; it gives you a probable outcome if you continue on the same path.

Peace of Mind: When our Limiting Beliefs keep us trapped in fear, anxiety, and doubt, a Tarot Reading can bring awareness to you present situation, show you where you are headed, and give you an opportunity to change course. Remember awareness of your thoughts creates choice!
