Let me tell you something, kid...

Let me tell you something, kid. Working sucks, okay? Working sucks! And it doesn’t matter if you’re in a bank, a department store or a doughnut factory, because once you’ve been there long enough, the only thing you’ll care about is when your next pay increase is, how many vacation days you’ve accrued and if your health insurance is gonna pay for the cholesterol medicine that keeps your heart pumping no matter how much shit you’ve worked through it. Then after you’ve gained 20 or 30 pounds because you’re so fucking uptight all the time, you wake and discover you’re working for your father-in-law in a position with a gratuitous title and you’re totally replaceable. And not only is the new guy better at your job, but he’s got a better car and better jokes and better hair! So not matter what you do, you make sure you make a lot of money doing it because it all sucks! And that is one lesson I, as your mentor, can teach you. (from Meet Bill)

Last weekend I watched the movie Meet Bill for the first time, and the quote above really stuck with me, because this is how I absolutely do not want to feel. What a horrible predicament.

Work life is something I’m still trying to figure out. I’ve been employed full time in the adult world for 3.5 months now, and although I’ve gotten into a regular routine, I still haven’t completely figured out how to cope. What’s to cope with? Well, giving up 45+ hours per week in exchange for a comparatively measly paycheck while living with my parents and having very little free time during the week has been a huge live change for me. Previously, I was working almost 30 hours per week (between two jobs I enjoyed, for the most part) while taking seven class credit hours, and I lived on my own less than 10 miles from anywhere I needed to travel on a regular basis. And I always had a solid group of friends nearby.

This is a major life transition, but when I look around, I see so many others living similarly. Sure, not all are living with their parents and commuting 2+ hours each day. But we’re all united in being trapped in an office for 8-9 hours each day. That’s a lot of time! Especially when so many people don’t get a great deal of fulfillment in their work.

I think everyone strives to find a job that makes them feel fulfilled and doesn’t actually feel like work. But there are so many people who end up settling for stability. There’s nothing wrong with that, as most of us need stability in income, health insurance, etc. But is that worth settling into an unfulfilling job? Obviously, it depends on your situation. But for so many of us Gen Yers, we’re young enough that most of us aren’t responsible for supporting a family, paying mortgages, etc. Therefore, it’s important that we continue to explore what’s out there and what lifestyle will make us happy. For some, it very well may be a 9-5/6 job that has a steady income and affords traveling, shopping, etc. For others, it may be working for yourself, doing something you love on your own time.

While I’m still trying to figure out what will ultimately afford me the lifestyle I want and cope with the daily 9-6, one thing I do know is I do NOT want to end up like Bill and believing working just plain sucks, so it really doesn’t make a difference what you do. Because I think it does make a difference, and it should.

How to REALLY Manifest What You Want a.k.a. Law of Attraction Secrets You Won't Hear Anywhere Else

I’m writing this post because so many well-meaning, conscious, spiritual people are missing some significant information and tools when it comes to Law of Attraction and being a conscious cocreator of your life with Spirit.

One of my wonderful Facebook friends recently wrote a post:

“If you examine your history, you cannot help but repeat it! Law of Attraction says it is so:

‘Whatever I am looking at, I am including in my vibration.’ — Abraham”

This sparked a controversy with 19 people weighing in, many fully agreeing and many others, myself included, objecting to this as an oversimplification and stating that, even though it is true that our focus does permeate our vibration and thus create, it is actually NECESSARY to understand and heal our past in order to learn what we need to from it and be able to truly free ourselves from its hold on us and move on into something even better.

We have to put our attention on our intention BUT if we are not aligned strongly and consistently enough with our intention, if we are trying really hard to make it happen but it’s just not working, that’s a sure sign we need to do some inner healing work before we do any more manifesting and attracting and creating. It’s inner, not, outer time, first.

I feel so strongly that so many New Age, metaphysical folks are so hyped up about positive thinking and “just focus on what you want,” they are missing something vital:

For most people, with most long-term issues, simply striving to be positive and focus on their intentions is NOT enough to bring about the desired results. We need to learn from our past, and use that wisdom to create our best future, while living in and enjoying the present.

So here I go on my soap box again.

The Abraham work and all the other good Law of Attraction stuff out there is not intended to be interpreted as “Ladeeda, we can just be positive 100% of the time and only good things will come to us. All that yucky stuff from the past – I’m done with that now and all I have to do is think good thoughts and I will attract all my desires. Abracadabra!”

So allow me to bust that myth and empower you with a much more in-depth and practical approach:

1- Our past is important. Just as our current emotions are indicators of the distance between where we are at and where we want to be, our past is one of our teachers as well. We can – and indeed need to – turn our wounds into wisdom. Some of our life experiences we may label “good” or “positive,” we feel we were successful and these we can apply to continue to utilize and build upon what worked for us, while the so-called “negative” experiences or failures are also useful in several ways.

For one thing, we can clarify more clearly what, exactly we DO want by contrasting it with what we do NOT want anymore. This applies equally well to health and lifestyle choices, work, home, community, as well as relationships.

Secondly, we can learn psychologically and spiritually: What was my lesson in this?

Thirdly,we can discover, with proper reflection, which may include prayer, meditation, journaling, counseling, or even insightful conversations, that there was truly a silver lining, a gift in every experience we have had. Sometimes we don’t see it at the time, it feels horrible, we may even be devastated that that relationship or career didn’t work out, that we had that disability or lost our house, but ultimately, when we see through the eyes of Spirit and Love, we will always find that everything happened for a reason and we can find something to be grateful for, even if it’s just the ability to make a different choice next time.

2- Until we learn our lessons from the past, we are going to UNCONSCIOUSLY repeat them. This is true of humanity when we look at larger societal choices as well as on the personal level. Ignoring our past and zapping it like it didn’t even happen is not the solution. In fact, ignoring our past and stuffing it over there, oh, that’s too messy, I don’t want to deal with that right now, does not free us from it, it actually dooms us to repeat it.

3- The Abraham work says that our DOMINANT thought is the one that runs the show, and I agree with this. The catch is: Our dominant thought is seldom a conscious thought, so we cannot expect to simply push a button and “There, I’m only going to think good thoughts, feel good feelings and make good choices from now on.”

We have to heal all those billions of subconscious beliefs that we are carrying around which arose out – what? Our past experiences and programming, of course.

I do agree that many people spend far too much time simply repeating their “story,” which actually keeps them stuck in it and keeps giving it energy. There is a big difference between looping an old version of a reality we no longer want, whining about it, being a drama king/queen, vs. actually being willing to visit the past (with support if necessary) with the intention of looking in the mirror, releasing what no longer serves, with forgiveness, finding the lesson and gift in it, and moving confidently forward into a better life we are creating for ourselves, from the inside out.

Do we need to look at our past? Absolutely.Do we need to keep telling it over and over? Absolutely not.

4- We need to process stuck emotions. Sometimes we need to move some rage. Shake off some old energy. Sometimes we need to express ourselves to someone, forgive, be forgiven, and it doesn’t matter if they’re alive or dead or whether their human self is willing to hear a word we are saying. We just talk to their Higher Self, soul to soul. We look in the mirror and show them a mirror as well. I have an extensive guided meditation and energy healing journey that I guide people through called the Healing Past Relationships Journey (soon to be available as a CD/MP3 audio) which facilitates this soul-to-soul communication, energy exchange, forgiveness and healing. Or you may be able to do it for yourself, perhaps by writing a letter or through ceremony. We need to visit our past just enough to learn from it and to heal it, not rehash it or keep talking about it for decades.

We also need to forgive ourselves. And forgive God!

The work I do as an energy healer, intuitive, hypnotherapist and life coach focuses on identifying the current condition of your Body, Mind, Heart and Soul and creating a complete, intuitively guided healing program that empowers you to remember who you really are, to love and heal yourself completely, and to clarify your vision and reawaken your passion, power and life purpose — to create the life and love of your dreams. I am a Law of Attraction coach, and people often begin working with me when they realize (see with Real Eyes) that they are working so dang hard on themselves, have been for years, yet something is still stuck. They are willing, finally, to do what it takes to really succeed, so we go places, often in the first session, that completely amazes them.

5- We need to heal core issues and heal on all levels.

For example, some of my recent clients have improved their relationships, found lasting love, launched their heart-centered business, created more harmony in their parenting or other family relationships…..In every case, we needed to do some deep CORE ISSUE healing at the level of the SOUL and the ENERGY FIELD, the kind of healing that is more difficult to do by one’s self when we are emotionally caught up in our “stuff,” scared, frustrated and depleted.

I do sometimes have clients who try to turn the sessions into talk therapy and keep going on and on about their problems. They are stuck in their story. So I ask them, “Do you want to talk about it or do you want to heal it?” If they keep wanting to talk about it, they are not ready for the kind of healing I do. If they want to heal it, I can help them heal themselves but we have to go much deeper than just talking. Deep omnidimensional energy healing at the soul level i.e. soul retrieval, regression, rebirthing, hypnotherapy/NLP, ceremony, forgiveness work, can be extremely helpful, especially if a person is unable to break free of an old belief/energy. We shift the energy & belief at the original cause and core. I channel empowering self-healing techniques they can do on their own to continue the healing and keep building the positive energy.

We don’t ever have to be 100% healed, nor is that even possible so long as we are human. But we need to be healed enough to be free to focus on what we do want, move forward and create from an aligned, clear, positive state of being and love.

6- ALIGN, ATTRACT, ACT.

People so caught up in the Law of Attraction who simply read a few books, go to a few workshops, watch a couple of movies, often fail to understand that trying to get into ACTION mode before you are ALIGNED does not work. Law of Attraction works – once we are aligned with our desires. If some part of our subconscious mind or energy field is still playing the tape of a limiting, negative belief, we are not going to be able to just attract what we want, no matter how many affirmations we say or vision boards we make!

7 – I want to make one more point about the past and this concept of time. We can only live in one time: the present. We need to heal and learn from our past and draw upon its power, we need to envision and align with our best future, and yet we can only live right here, right now. All times exist in this moment of choice: now.

I personally feel we need to spend MOST of our attention right here, where we live. In this body. On this planet. Enjoying this life to the fullest. Mindful. Heartful. Soulful. Bodyful. Beautiful! When we work with the concept of time as fluid and simultaneous and quantum rather than linear, we find that every moment is a portal home.

We can also change our past shamanically, redream it. This helps us create our best future as well. This can be done through shamanic trance healing and/or conscious dreaming.

We each have the power to facilitate miraculous healing and success beyond our wildest imagination. We don’t have to spend years healing the past. We can heal it in an instant, or it may take several months or longer, but if we go deep enough and work at the level of the soul, core beliefs and original causes, the quantum and cosmic fields and on all levels, if we do this work with a vibration of love for ourselves and all beings, we will grow into being who we came here to be.

I love the Abraham work but sometimes a phrase taken by itself does not present the complexities of the spiritual nature of the Universe. True healing and conscious creation of our lives will always involve navigating the territory of our past with loving kindness and forgivness, with an open mind and a willingness to learn and grow so we can create an even better future. And we can do this today.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (3)

Huh, this seems to be the only kind of post I have time for right now! Ah, working in retail.

meme hosted by J. Kaye

Books I finished this week:

The Maze Runner by James Dashner: Eh. I liked it, will read the next, but it’s no Hunger Games.

Books I am currently reading/listening to:

I am re-reading Push by Sapphire. It’s as gritty and beautiful as I remember. I read it a while back when I was fresh out of high school. I found that while fluffy stuff like Sloppy Firsts no longer appeals to me after 15 years, meaningful things like Push (the basis for the movie Precious) really stay with me. When I’m done I think I’ll re-read another old favorite, like Kindred by Octavia Butler or Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. I don’t actually own copies of those anymore (my cousin Jerome in the Philippines has them, I think), so will have to re-buy.

I’m also reading Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. I love this guest post he wrote on Joe Scalzi’s blog.

Books I haven’t started yet, but recently acquired:

+ through Vol. 5

What can I say, the husband is on a huge graphic novel kick and I promised to read them all, too.

Also acquired from David Y at last night’s YABC meeting:

+ through Vol. 9

Let’s just hope I get some reading done this week.

Scarred Secret

The little baby girl sat quietly in the corner of the sofa where her mother knew she would be safe.  She wasn’t quite big enough to play alone with her brother and sister.  There was something different about this little baby girl; she wasn’t like her brother and sister.  She held onto her bottle and never once moved from her stop until her mommy came to check on her an hour later.  She was still in the same spot her mommy had put her.  She was such a good little girl.

 When the little girl was two years old she was allowed to play in the sandbox in the back yard.  She could only play there by herself because the other children would throw sand at her and make her cry.  The little girl didn’t know why the other children treated her so badly… she just wanted to play with her siblings.  When she did get to play in the sand, she would build little mountains with her small bucket and shovel.

One early summer afternoon the little girl was playing alone in the sandbox when her mommy came to get her for lunch.  After eating the peanut butter and jelly sandwich her mommy put her down for her afternoon nap.  She was such a good little girl.  She always did what her mommy had told her to do.  Sometime later that afternoon when her mommy came to check on her, the little girl was foaming from her mouth.  Her mommy called her daddy and they took her to the hospital. 

At the hospital the little girl’s parents were told that she had a severe case of pneumonia.  She would have to be hospitalized and given mass doses of penicillin.  They didn’t know how long she would have to stay, only saying that the little girl was very sick.  The little girl was placed in a crib at the hospital.  She began to cry because she wanted to be with her mommy.  She cried harder as she watched her mommy walking away until she was completely out of her sight.  

The crib was white and positioned close to a window so she could see outside and look down at the cars below.  The little girl’s tears finally subsided and as time went by the little girl was standing up in the crib making big circles on the white headboard with a colored crayon a nurse had laid in the crib.  She longed for her mommy to cradle her but she was still to sick to go home.  Many years later the little girl found out that she had been near death and that the doctors gave her only 72 hours to live if the medication did not work.  The doctor called a specialist from Philadelphia to help save the little girls life. 

Several years later the little girl was old enough to start school but first she had to have her current shots.  Her mommy took her to the doctor and she received all the shots required for her to start kindergarten.  She was such a good little girl… she didn’t make a peep when the doctor gave her the medication.  The little girl loved going to school but she always came home crying because the other kids teased her.  She did not understand why the other kids teased her and made fun of her.  She knew she was different but she did not understand.

The teasing continued as she went from First then Second Ward, Schull David and finally Mahoning Elementary School.  The kids continued teasing her throughout her elementary school years.  She didn’t have any friend’s at school because everyone teased her.  During recess she would ask her teachers if there was something she could do to help because she knew that no one would play with her.  All her teachers were nice to her so she enjoyed erasing the chalk board or doing the little monotonous things that helped the teachers through her elementary years.

The little girl came from a very poor family and there were lots of brothers and sisters.  Her mommy had her hands full taking care of seven little kids.  The little girl had an older brother and sister, a younger sister and three younger brothers.  The kids wore each others clothes, and this particular little girl wore her older sister’s hand- me-downs.  She always looked like a rag-a-muffin and she didn’t even know that she did.  She was sad that she didn’t get the nice new clothes her older sister always got but she was happy with what she had to wear.

When the preteen girl entered junior high the teasing got worse.  The kids would call her names and often times the teachers would have to tell them to stop the teasing.  One day in the counselor’s office, the girl asked why the kids would tease her so badly.  The nice lady counselor told her that the kids teased her because she had a birthmark (otherwise known as a port-wine stain) on the right side of her face.  That explained why the kids called her “diaper rash” and “purple face” girl.  When the girl got home from school that day she asked her mom why she had that mark on her face and her mom told her she was born with it and that it made her special.  Nothing else was ever said about that “special” mark.

Seventeen days before her thirteenth birthday, her mom had a baby girl.  Her mom told her that she could come to the hospital when she was released and hold the baby in the back seat for the drive home.  Oh how she loved her baby sister.  Often times she would make believe that her baby sister was really her baby.  She was so happy.  For the very first time in her life… she had something that no one could take away from her.  She had someone to love and through this little baby she would be loved in return.  She was so proud to help take care of her baby sister anytime her mom needed help.

As the teenage girl entered senior high school for the first day of her 9th grade education she approached her older brother who was surrounded by other boys his age.  One of the boys shouted out “who in the world is she… she looks like she just got ran over by a Mac truck.”  She ran away crying to the bathroom because her brother laughed with the other boys.  Her experience in high school was the same as she had in junior high only at a much more cruel level. 

During her four years of high school, she made several friends but she never had a best friend.  Friends came and went as the four years rolled by.  She had a couple older, a few her age and several younger friends.  During her senior year she missed 38 days of school.  She recalls being called diaper rash often by several of the boys that were in her senior class.  She couldn’t wait to graduate from high school.  No one asked her to go to the senior prom or outing and she never dated anyone she went to school with.  She had an occasional date but nothing was ever serious. 

In her heart all she really wanted was that “fairytale” marriage with a house, a white picket fence and at least a half a dozen babies.  That would never happen for her or for anyone she ever knew.  She was a hard worker… started working at a sweatshop shortly after turning sixteen.  Within three months she had advanced to floor girl.  She was energetic, enthusiastic and labored six days a week at the sweatshop.  After cashing her paycheck each Friday she gave all but twenty dollars to her mom to help pay for things the family needed that the food stamps would not pay for.  She worked as a floor girl at the sweatshop until her family packed up and moved to another state. 

She chose to move with her family out of state because she was so close to her mom.  When they arrived at there destination, she began doing all the house chores and even managed to do some yard work.  Other families nearby saw the kind of work she would do and soon she was doing things to help other families in the neighborhood.  Often times she would see pity in many of the people’s faces she encountered.  It was apparent by there constant stares.  She would hang her head in shame and do her business.  She was very shy and embarrassed by how she was treated.  She just knew she was different.

TIME WAITS ON NO ONE….

I tell this story because it is about me.  I am that baby girl who sat in the corner of the sofa with my bottle and never moved from my stop.  I am the little girl who played in the sandbox by herself.  I am the little girl who nearly died from pneumonia.  I am the little girl who has seven siblings.  I am the little girl that was teased day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year about the birthmark (port-wine stain) on the right side of my face.  It covered my entire right cheek from my nose to my hairline and from my right eye down to my upper lip.  I live with permanent scars inside of me from the torment that others caused me for the first eighteen years of my life. 

I have had five laser surgeries since 1996 to have the birthmark removed.  The first laser treatment cost me $1000.  It was also the only one that I had the most unbelievable pain you could ever imagine having without taking one aspirin.  During my consultation with the doctor she said that the pain would be minimal, more of a minor inconvenient pain that would only last for a few short hours, that there would be minimal swelling and that it would feel like a rubber band hitting my skin.  She also stated that I would be able to wear make-up after five days of recovery time.  Because she said it was virtually painless minus the few short hours of minor inconvenience I agreed to have the laser surgery under those terms.  

Have you ever taken a rubber band or has anyone ever slung a rubber band and hit you in the face?  It is far more painful then anyone might realize.  I was zapped 256 times with the laser gun.  Half-way through the first surgery I was literally in tears.  I had goggles on but the tears fell anyway and everyone in the room saw that I was flinching and crying due to the severity of the pain as the doctor gave me another zap.  I laid there without saying a word until she finally said she was finished.  That was one of the most painful twenty minutes of my life and I laid there and let her do that to me.  Till this day I can’t believe I paid her cash for that torture!  When I returned home, I put ice on my wound.  Little did I know that I would literally burn for three entire days and swell until I could not see out of my right eye.  I kept ice on my wound for 72 straight hours.  The doctor said I would have minimal pain and swelling.  She was so wrong; I couldn’t wear make-up for 2 weeks.  The results were 30% removal of my birthmark.

The only thing I failed to do was actually ask someone who had had that type of surgery if they experienced any pain.  The doctor had plenty of before and after pictures of dozens of people.  The results looked promising.  I was the only one who had a birthmark (port-wine stain) on my cheek under my right eye from nose to hairline and down to upper lip.  Depending on the location of the birth mark, laser surgery has different levels of pain.  The doctor was clearly in the wrong for telling me I would have minor pain and swelling.  When I tried to contact her over the weekend on her pager I could never get through.  Finally that Sunday, three days into burning, pain and swelling she called me back telling me that her young child had gotten a hold of her pager and turned it off.  How convenient was that for her.

In 2002, after years of searching, I found a dermatologist who said she would try to do laser surgery on me at the cost of $150 dollars per treatment. (Due to the off-chance the laser surgery would not work on me.) I told her my story about what had happened in 1996 and she promised me that the machines were new and improved and that I would have less than 50 zaps to my face, minimal pain and swelling and I would see results within 30 to 60 day.  I have since had 3 other treatments and my birthmark is not 70% gone.  Sadly, the scars remain.  Even thought my birthmark is 70% gone… I still see all of it.  Instead of it helping me… It has made me feel more uncomfortable about looking at myself in the mirror.  I am no longer that same face in the mirror.  I see pain and marred scars. 

Everyday is a new beginning for me… I am trying desperately to reach out to others.  It is very easy to do so behind this vast computer screen.  You can’t see me therefore, you can’t judge me.  You won’t stare back at me and you won’t whisper to others about me.  You can’t because I won’t allow you to do that to me.  I am the Mystified Spirit looking for hearts to love me unconditionally.  You can do that because you can’t see me.  This is a good thing.  For now… it works for me.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (2)

Books I finished this week:

So, after about 2 weeks of not-reading and utter job depression, I finally picked up Ballad: The Gathering of Faerie and finished it off. It rocked even harder than Lament, mostly because the main protagonist is none other than James, bagpiper extraordinaire. Of the long laundry list of faerie books I’ve read in the last year, this is the only series I’ve actually enjoyed–this, and Juliet Marillier’s Wildwood Dancing.

I also read Death Note, Volume 1: Boredom and Death Note, Volume 2: Confluence, for YABC. I bought those two, but instead of buying all the rest of the manga, although I really want them, to save money and be simultaneously entertained the husband and I are watching the anime, which is *so* much better than reading it. They did a bang-up job on the North-American voice acting so it’s extremely watchable in English.

Books I started this week:

I picked up James Dashner’s The Maze Runner in ARC form a couple of weeks ago, and while it has my attention it’s also giving me the same annoying *give me some answers, dammit!* feeling that you get from watching the first 3 seasons of Lost.

Books I haven’t started yet, but recently acquired:

Louisa May Alcott has a new biography out in hardcover. I snapped that one up right away!

Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel is one I snoozed on–and thus missed getting a first edition, first printing, sigh. I think this is the 3rd printing already… well, I hope it’s that good!

Downloaded the new Malcolm Gladwell, What the Dog Saw, from audible.com. I usually wait until car rides with the husband to listen to things like this, as we both enjoy them, but with my crazy schedule lately we may have to listen separately and discuss later.
