Why Relaxing Is The Most Productive Thing You Can Do

When we think of qualities and attributes will get us to where we want to be in life, we normally think of things like motivation, ambition, determination, persistence, work ethic, and productivity.  Working 6 or 7 days a week, getting up early, planning, and prioritizing are things that we typically think of when we think of success and productivity.

But what if all of this was only partly true, and that the best thing you can do to be productive in life is actually the complete opposite of all of those things?  Relaxation is something that often gets equated with laziness, but in reality it is one of the most productive things you can do for yourself and your career.

Relaxation allows you to actually get more done by preventing burn out, be more creative by preserving mental energy, keep your mind focused on one thing at a time to improve quality of work, and it allows you to enhance your own energetic state (which is the best thing you could produce).  Here are some more reasons why relaxing is the most productive thing you can do:

3 of The Most Important Things To Remember When You Feel Like Giving Up In Life

Depression is something we all experience at some point in our life.  If you are reading this, chances are you are either depressed, were depressed, will be depressed, or you know someone who is.  It’s a part of the ebb and flow of life and evolution just as much as happiness is.  It’s kind of the elephant in the room for a lot of people, and I know that talking about depression is something a lot of people feel uncomfortable and sensitive about.

I’m not speaking about something that is currently outside of me that I am looking back on.  As someone who is currently experiencing depression in their life, I want to share some insights that have arisen to me to help others who are in a similar situation to me.

First off, don’t be ashamed that you are suffering, and don’t beat yourself up for not being able to get over your depression.  Honestly.  It’s not un-spiritual to admit to yourself that you are depressed or feel like giving up in life. It’s actually more spiritually mature to be completely honest with yourself and face your demons without running from them.  Let’s take a look at some things that can really shift your perspective during times of depression: Continue reading

Our Children Are Awakening!

Our Twin Flame evolution is a sometimes testing journey, and we often have to dig deep into our own internal resources for strength, understanding and wisdom to enable us to continue.  Our children are also affected as we grow, and as parents we need to understand whether our children were created with or without our twin, they play an integral role in our journey back to One.

01 Meditation children - crystal rainbow indigoIt is very common for our children to have similar symptoms to that of awakening, and as a parent and light worker it is becoming more and more apparent the roles our children play in the balancing of energies.  It is as if they too are undergoing a transformation; our children are showing signs of headaches, cold/flu symptoms, sore throats, coughs, aches, pains in muscles and stomach upsets.  These symptoms normally pass very quickly usually within 24 hours – but of course you should seek medical advice if they show signs of ongoing illness.

We shall explain to our children what is happening to us, and to share with them our own understanding – It is not meant that you should give them an in-depth view, just something that gives them the confidence to share how they are feeling too.  It is common for children to align themselves with the twins, for they too are part of the twin family; they may also begin to distance themselves from one of their biological parents.  Therefore it is very important there is a channel of communication between them as you go through your own ascension and healing towards re-union.

Encourage your children to share their dreams, ideas and experiences and you will be amazed how they are able to understand what is happening, as if they remember – don’t forget they too are part of the soul agreement made with the Divine.  In some cases they may be communicating with your twin in higher dimensions, which again is another sign of your Twin Flame journey.  Our children are super in-tune these days, as many of them are crystal or indigo’s – they are super sensitive so we must be open and honest with them.  They are cleansing and clearing their own baggage from this lifeline journey and familial lineage – they will be contributing in some way to the energies of the twins, helping the twins back to One.

indigos2-450Children are an important part of humanities evolution, now with so many Twins waking up, it is important that they share with the future generations the journey they are on, teenagers will probably not buy-in to the phenomena. Be patient, find a way to communicate; it is very difficult sometimes to talk with our children about something so deep and spiritual, now is the time to try and reach out to them and make a difference.

The Twin Flame journey is all about truth and growth – having a positive impact on humanity, when we start our missions it is essential we are able to communicate this with all generations, and what better place to begin the training/practice with our own children.  They too are messengers of love and light, the more they know and understand, the more they can touch the lives of others.  Multiplicity at its simplest form, from the grass roots up – Love is contagious, this is the only thing we should be spreading around the world.

With the energy shifting so quickly and so many DNA codes being unlocked, we’re all undergoing intensive ascension symptoms. It is advisable to increase the amount of water you are drinking to 2-4 litres per day, if possible take the time to take a long sea salt bath as well.  We’re crystallizing so quickly now so the more water your body has the easier the process will be.

427197_374650595885774_296386597045508_1681043_430327049_nIf symptoms in your children are apparent, make a journal entry and keep tabs on it – you will see some patterns appearing.  If you are in contact with your twin, share some of this with them, or simply ask how the children are (if they have them).  If the symptoms do not go away or escalate as always, it is advisable to seek proper medical attention and care.

As a parent of 3 children, and father to 6, I am fully aware of the effects on my own children. I have encouraged them to tell me when they feel unwell, or are struggling and about their dreams – now it is second nature to them to tell me.  Mostly they suffer from sore throats and headaches, with the occasional upset stomach, and the symptoms disappear within 24 hours, or transmute into a combination of all three!  It is important that they feel us close to them, it is important we can understand them, and for that reason I encourage all twins to take note of these words, after all our children are helping us without them really knowing or understanding.

The Science of The Heart: Our Hearts Actually Have It’s Own Intelligence

We all know the difference between good vibes and bad vibes, but what is really happening at a scientific level when we talk about “vibes”?  Or what about when we know someone is a bad person and can feel it in our gut, only to later find out that they are abusive and manipulative?

While there is an energetic and spiritual side to this question, there is also a hard scientific explanation of what is occurring when we tap into the vibes of other people.   With the development of new scientific instruments, intuition is now something being studied using the scientific method.

The electromagnetic field of the heart

The heart generates a powerful and measurable electromagnetic field.  Magnetocardiography is the science of measure the field that is produced by the electrical activity within the heart.

It’s mainstream scientific knowledge that the resonant frequencies of the field of your heart interacts with the fields of others around you.  This effect is super strong within the first several feet in particular, but has been reported to be measured even at a distance of hundreds of meters.

Most of us know that the heart holds an energy system of its own and is one of the 7 main chakras within our energy field, and that our heart centers can interact with the heart centers of others.  But it turns that it’s more than just an energy center for emotions, spiritual health, or even nervous system activity.  The heart almost acts as a second mind with its own sense of awareness.

3 Reasons Why Our Modern Relationships Are Falling Apart

The current divorce rate in North America is higher than ever at about 50%.  Break ups happen all the time, and are quite frankly a part of life.  Relationships are meant to be appreciated and learned from most of the time.  But why are they so hard to keep from failing?  Why do so many people experience failed relationship after failed relationship? What is it about the way we live as a culture that makes relationships come and go with the wind?

Break ups happen all the time and are often attributed to things like financial problems, personality differences, or boredom.  I think these reasons are valid but are superficial to some much deeper problems that lie at the root of all failed relationships.  The actual reasons why people break up usually elude both parties who are both unable to pinpoint what went wrong.

Here are 3 main reasons why so many relationships end up failing.  Hopefully this helps improve the quality of your relationship!

1) Lack of communication and clarity

Communication is the most important thing to maintaining a healthy relationship.  When you let things bottle up in a relationship (even small things) it will get stored within you.  At first, it may not seem like it is impacting you very much, until it starts piling up and building up over time.  By staying silent instead of saying something like “Hey could you not talk to me like that please?”, you end up holding on to how their actions affected you and end up subconsciously resenting them for hurting you.

This remains in your energy field as residual energy, and as it continues to develop over the course of several years from not being communicated properly, you end up getting “sick” of the person and no longer want to even hear from them.  When you do break up from them, you feel totally relieved because you have now released yourself from the burden of carrying around all of those unexpressed thoughts and emotions.  All you had to do was communicate to them exactly how you feel when you felt it, and there would be no tipping point where you would need to break things off for good.

2) Loving from the mind instead of the heart

Most people aren’t actually in love.  They are in love with the idea of being loved.

In past relationships, I used to rehearse instances in my mind involving my relationship that made me feel as though I was loved.  I would repeat phrases in my mind, or visualize past occurrences, and then would get that warm feeling inside.  One of these past relationships lasted for a few months, and was not actually grounded in anything substantial (unless you think texting, Facebook, and Skype is substantial).  I was confusing the thought of being loved with the actual experience of love.  I think this is what often happens in a lot of divorce and break-up situations.  People hang on to the relationship because the idea of not being loved by them is too painful to bear, or the idea of being loved feels good inside.

When someone tells you “I love you”, oxytocin and seratonin get released in the body immediately.  If you keep revisiting this phrase in your mind over and over, these chemicals will be released continuously which is why you still get that same feeling days, hours, or years after the initial event.  Literally, the thought-feeling of being loved is the same biochemically as actually hearing someone say it in real life.  So, often times we don’t even interact with the raw boundless essence of true love, we only interact with the personal idea of being loved and the chemicals it produces.  Below is image showing us what parts of the brain are deactivated by love.

We see “I love you so much!! <3? on our phone, or typed out in an email with a smiley face, and we feel good inside.  We get those warm butterflies when we reflect upon it, and our brains adjust to a new state which is less fearful and more blissful.  We may even think “Wow this person really loves me.  I love them so much oh my gosh, finally someone who truly loves me.”  This creates a superficial sensation in our energy field, a shift in our chemistry, and a sort of mood, which we attribute to the works of the true love that everybody talks about.

Most relationships don’t go past this superficial fake kind of love and into the deep soul to soul connection with another person.  Both people live in their heads as their ego and interact with their partner as an idea within their thought world.  When this mentally-involved love gets old or stops resulting in corresponding emotions for someone, they then figure that they have stopped loving their partner.

3) Lack of trust

If you don’t trust your partner, it is toxic to you because it gives you anxiety and pollutes your mind with thoughts of worry.  It’s also toxic to your partner, who has to constantly defend themselves and try to prove their commitment over and over.  If you keep experiencing lack of trust in your relationship, there is usually only 1 main reason why this is happening:

Someone is insecure.  Maybe they have a history of abandonment and have been emotionally damaged.  This may make them a little more needy than the average person, because they need to know that they are genuinely appreciated and loved.  They will look way too deeply into little things their partner says and does and conclude that they must not love them, even though there is no problem.  Their partner may begin to get annoyed and irritated, which is why this is toxic to both people involved.

It’s kind of like training really hard summer after summer to be on the basketball team. You diet properly, get proper rest, and play the game extremely well.  The coach sees you take a break for a minute during tryouts and then accuses you of not wanting it enough, even though you have already proven to him that you do.  You would feel both angry and hurt.

This can actually be made into something non-toxic and actually spiritually healing of they are both open and transparent about why it is they feel insecure.  It may be a chance for that person to heal from their damage, and maybe their partner can work with them to talk it out and build them back up.  When people say things like “B*tches be crazy”, when they really mean is “My girlfriend is insecure and doesn’t know how to reach out for reassurance. I am either not making her feel loved enough, or she has defense systems in place from past relationships to protect her from getting hurt”.

What lack of trust usually means is that someone doesn’t trust themselves with the ability to go through the pain if the relationship were to end.  They ultimately lack self-trust and the confidence that they can deal with the emotional weight of an ending.  Once again, this needs to be openly communicated or else it will continue to be corrosive for both parties involved.

All of these reasons ultimately have to do with honesty with ourselves and with our partners.  If we are brave enough to be vulnerable and transparent, relationships are much less of a mental headache and more of a spiritual/emotional journey.

5 Ways To Visualize And Create The Life of Your Dreams

If you know about the Law of Attraction, you’ve likely heard that it is important to visualize your dreams in order to draw them closer to you.  While this definitely true, it is important that we visualize properly in order to manifest.  Improper visualization can actually push our dreams further away from us.

Here are a few tips on how to visualize your dreams effectively.  Following these steps will help you  use the Law of Attraction with success:

1) Be specific

In the initial stages of visualization, it’s best to identify as many aspects about this manifestation as you can.  For example, if you want to attract a new car, take the time to figure out the exact model and all of the options that you would optimally want.shutterstock_286247822

We’ve all had the experience of “almost” getting what we want, like getting the right car at the right price but in the wrong color.  As you progress through these steps, the universe will start to bring you what you’ve been thinking about, and if you haven’t thought at all about a key detail, your dream might manifest without it.

Therefore, it is best to fully identify what you want so it manifests properly the first time, and you don’t have to go back to the drawing board after an “almost perfect” item has shown up in your reality.

2) Focus only on what’s wanted

When you are trying to visualize something to manifest (like maybe a new job), stick ONLY to the aspects that you want.

In other words, you wouldn’t want to be thinking during your visualization “I don’t want a lot of meetings” or “I don’t want a boss who’s a control freak.”

shutterstock_291176792Thoughts like these will conjure an image in your mind of a lot of meetings or a controlling boss.  Visions like these make it more likely that the universe will bring you a job that has these exact things that you do not want.

You get the things that you are thinking about, so in this scenario it would be better to say things  like “I want a lot of time to work independently” or “I want a boss who is flexible and understanding.”  Then, visualize working independently and having a flexible, understanding boss.

Manage your thoughts during your visualization to ensure that they focus only on the wanted.

3) Let the universe decide how it happens

Please make sure that you don’t spend any effort or time visualizing how your dream will manifest.

For example, let’s say that you want a 60 inch screen television.  Do not make it part of your vision to imagine yourself going to the store and buying it.shutterstock_326237924

The reason this is important is that the universe can deliver your dreams in an infinite number of ways.  It may be easier and quicker for your dream to come in a way you’ve never considered.

Maybe you’ll win the television in a raffle your friend entered you in without your knowledge, or a coworker needs to move suddenly and simply gifts their brand new TV to you.

Stick only to the end outcome. It is your job to decide what you want, but it is the universe’s job to decide how to bring it to you.

4) Immerse yourself in the vision to feel like you have it

shutterstock_346780844Once you have clearly identified exactly what you want, allow yourself to be totally immersed in the vision.

If it’s a dream vacation, do a google search and look at pictures on the internet of the destination, the airport you’d arrive in and the hotel you’d be staying at.  If it’s a new cell phone, go to the mobile store and pick up the phone, look at it and play with it.  If it isn’t something tangible, simply spend some time fantasizing about having it.

The goal here is to begin feeling like you already have what you want.  Feeling as if you have your dream will bring you into the frequency of actually having it.

5) Let go

This is the most important step and the one most people get stuck on.  After you’ve properly defined what you want and immersed yourself in the vision, you must let go in order for manifestation to occur!

Do not obsess over this visualization any more.  You have done your job of visualizing exactly what you want, now you must send the universe a message that you expect for it to arrive.

Sitting down day after day to visualize sends a message that you are focused on not having what you want.  Focusing on not having something creates a situation where it will continue not to come.

You’ve very likely had several experiences where you wanted something very badly for a long time and you just couldn’t seem to take your mind off of it.  Finally one day you said “I give up on this! I’m ready to move on with my life!” and then WHAM! it manifested almost immediately.

Remind yourself of times like these to help you let go when you are working with your new dreams.  Paradoxically, if you can make it ok for your dream not to come true, it will come true.  Surrender your vision to the universe and then get back to living your life.

Again, to manifest your dream using the Law of Attraction, visualization is important, but you must take care to visualize in a way that draws your dream closer rather than pushes it away.

Please remember to be specific, focus on the wanted, let the universe decide the “hows,” immerse yourself in the feeling of having and (most importantly) let go when you have completed your visualization. If you can complete each of these steps you will be able to manifest your dreams quickly and easily!
