Gain Number Four: Financial Flexibility

This blog will:

1) Remind everyone that celebrating the gains is equally as important as learning to handle life challenges.

2) Talk about “Gain Number Four”. I am celebrating my gains in order of priority. See previous blogs.

I am celebrating having more flexibility in my financial life.  After a period of being caught in a financial pinch and being under employed, I designed a new career, and finagled free trainings and certifications in the field.  After visualizing for a year on receiving a specific job,  I was offered a position by one of the nation’s largest and financially promising companies.  I opted, for the moment, to remain self employed and keep my options open. It should not be unnoticed by interested readers that this has occurred over the past two years, officially designated as a depression - or close to it.

Primarily, I used the Law of Attraction and the Sedona Method to sculpt this new future for myself.  My blog describes the practical application of these tools in my daily efforts, and I also provide coaching on these subjects.

Celebrating Gains: Gain Number Three

This blog will:
1) Remind everyone that celebrating the gains is equally as important as learning to handle life challenges.
2) Talk about “Gain Number Three”. I am celebrating my gains in order of priority. See previous blogs.
3) Discuss a gain I am experiencing from applying the Sedona Method to release resistance on the subjects of home and community.

Today I celebrate making some progress on my previous releasing efforts, where I addressed the issues of community and home. Releasing resistance is a technique where we allow negative thoughts to wash through us, as opposed to latching onto us and establishing roots. In recent blogs (Aug. 4th and May 24th), I have spent some time releasing on life challenges that have surfaced around the issue of living space. Completely unplanned, I have stumbled into a happy family scene with my friends Mary and Steve.

Some people are just born generous, and Steve and Mary are two of them. I have plopped down in their house, because I need accommodations while I work on a horse project here in Sedona. They have welcomed me on short notice with open arms, assisting me with my cause. Their home is cozy, serene, clean and well organized, providing a nurturing atmosphere for massaging my positive outlook on the world. Our days are full of shared meals, hiking in the sculptured mountains of Sedona and laptop sessions exchanging digital media revelations. Thanks Mary and Steve for this excursion into domestic tranquility and for generally being great friends.

Long Term Problems and How To Make Progress Anyway

This blog will describe:
Feeling stuck and how to get results with releasing anyway.

I expressed a frustration regarding slow progress on an issue to our coaches in a recent support group. “Don’t forget to acknowledge all the successes that you are having. It’s very common to forget to look at the improved mental clarity, the renewed physical vitality, the increased money flow and just grip onto what isn’t working”, they advised. Definitely good advice, but I am acknowledging my gains, which as evidenced in the two previous blogs and my daily activities.

They try again: “What about releasing on wanting to work on this goal?” This advice hits me in the pit of my stomach, right on target. My gut has announced its potency; my emotions verify by flying into irritability and anger. “That’s it, you got it”, I tell them. They are both good at providing the missing nuggets in releasing efforts.

The next morning, I begin releasing on wanting to work on the goal - the goal of getting rid of my father, the incessant hijacker of my abundance by his unappreciated visits to my visualizations. I can feel my frustration over this issue fade. I continue and the process expands into releasing on wanting in general, and again further into releasing on wanting results on my releasing. My stomach opens, my mind opens and the frustration disappears. As I do this, I feel larger and more connected to the world. I have a new found sense of freedom and begin a day full of connections with friends and meeting new friends.
