De Corazon a Corazon, from My Heart to Yours Accepting Your Nature and… Moving Forward

April 1st, 2011

This morning started with sunny brightness behind my light green curtains. The day was clear and so was my schedule. I was planning to focus on completing this article and later to work on my new book. Then phone rang and a cheerful voice from California started its 30 minute conversation.

The picture of me that I was receiving did not make any sense and the conversation was becoming difficult. It felt like I was trying to find a little space in the wall of words to share what was really happening here in Chicago, but California was having a good time sharing what it thought about me and my life, so there was no real space, attention or authentic desire for the heart to heart conversation. I felt a huge energetic pit hole opening in front of me and employed all my senses to help me stand on my feet while watching my spirit falling lower, and lower, and lower. The cheerful voice kept explaining how un-enthusiastic, ungrateful and undirected I was and how much it has given and invested in me. It was becoming frustrated and confused with me (after all that has been done for me) that I was still me, being and doing what I felt was right and representative of my values.

Even though it was almost impossible, I successfully managed to interrupt the flow of cheerfulness for a few seconds to insert my two cents into a monologue that the cheerful voice was having about me. At the end of this short encounter I felt lost, sad and disempowered. Moreover, I felt like a failure and it did not feel good. I felt like I did not want to be talking to this cheerful voice ever again. Ungrateful? I did not think so. It was necessary if I wanted to preserve my sanity, dignity and my personal values.

Then I found myself wondering what was the hook that kept me in conversation I was no longer enjoying? Would I ever have courage to let go of my visions of amazing potentials in the future, so I can stop these low frequency encounters in the now? I wanted to forgive myself for being a human being and allow my Soul journey to be a flow of joy verses the path of struggle to be understood during these forceful get-togethers.

Wanting more of… (love, money, ability to offer your services, traveling the word, receiving education or teaching others) is an issue of identification with what we do, what we have and what we imagine others may think of us. We look at these issues through the looking glass of achievement consciousness while missing the fact that discrimination point between the two (achievement and under-achievement) is a very subjective matter. What some of us perceive as an underachievement may look like the wildest dream of success for somebody else. At the same time, someone’s success picture may be the biggest dread for you. If you want to feel successful, it is important to identify what it is you are looking for first (verses what is the others’ opinion about your path to success).

If you serious about being YOU and living YOUR life, take a piece of paper and write the answers to these important questions:

What do I perceive as an underachievement? I feel I did not do enough because…

What makes me feel unsuccessful? I feel I could…

Why do I feel that way?

Look into who’s words are you writing on your paper right now? Do you recognize anyone’s voice in your head?

Who in my life used to say that over and over again?

Who’s opinion about this matter did I internalize?

What is it that makes me feel successful? I feel successful when….

Sometimes a process of “measuring” where you are in your life and where you want to be becomes an issue of its own. Noticing the distance gets you off the original focus into false need to do something to gain support from outside, leading you into the false relationships and not-self interactions. For some people, being on the moon and not on the sun is a failure! For others, not being able to pay the bill this week feels like a struggle, but they know that they can overcome the challenge and they keep an optimistic attitude supported by their creative actions.

Being able to dream and desire is a great life force energy that is fuelling your progress. Being fixed on the speed of this process or attached to the way it “should” be happening creates a distraction. Often a tendency to force an outcome instead of letting the process to unfold naturally brings about feelings of frustration and underachievement. Shifting your focus from the process to the lack of the anticipated results can make you doubtful and uncommitted to the course of action which has been joyful and desirable at the beginning.

Our body/mind/spirit system is a key instrument of measurement that helps us evaluate all the data we collect. Unfortunately, we often feel overwhelmed by the amount of intense mental and painful emotional information that we receive. In an attempt to reduce this overwhelm, we make a subconscious decision to partially withdraw from receiving all that information. Such inner decision made in a state of defeat, becomes part of our defense mechanism that helps us survive the intensity of our life by avoiding intense situations or over-reacting and throwing a temper tantrum.

If your life is full of frustration, disappointment, blame, guilt, isolation, struggle, anger, and even outrage while you are trying to find your self-worth in the eyes and opinions of others, you may be stuck in the net of false values and not-self concepts. This feeling produces fear of “non-survival”. When you clearly know that you need to disengage from the project or a person, but you are postponing this action, your mind is giving you thousands of reason why you should not trust your guts. When we resist our authentic knowing, we also become the worst critics of ourselves, calling ourselves crazy, dumb and stupid while trying to suppress our own clarity and truth.

When we do not allow ourselves to be authentic, we start judging ourselves or someone who we perceive an obstacle to our natural being. There is an important distinction between judging something that looks like a reactive response and noticing it in a neutral way. Judging usually comes with an emotional attachment, a charge. Charge is the energy that has been stored by your body as a warning signal. It is there to keep you from getting into something you perceived as a “negative” experience in the past. We are actually trying to push something that reminds us about challenging issues in the present or past situations. The act of judgment often substitutes the action required to change unwanted situation or behavior. It is like judging a part of yourself, that you do not like, instead of doing something to transform it.

It is extremely valuable to catch yourself as you begin judging. Notice it, acknowledge that it is just a habit and switch your attention to something useful. As you begin noticing when you use this habit, the judgment becomes less effective in its function and finally dissipates. The judgment is taking your attention from positive changes and focuses you on what is not working. When the judgment is gone, you can put your energy into forming a new habit instead of investing in a fight with your inner Judge, loosing your attention in the constant battle against yourself.

Are you choosing where and how you are or are you being “pulled” into events, interactions and decisions? If you act out of need or lack, you will eventually accumulate tension that will wear you down. Notice what are you hungry for or what part of your body feels worse when you are not acting on your truth can help you identify where the “frozen” memories, pains and other charges of the past are stored in your body.

Are you looking for attention, love, admiration, feeling loved, wanting to be heard and appreciated?

Are you craving loyalty, support, perfection?

Looking into “missing” feelings and cravings for “more of… “ can help you be more conscious about choices you make. Notice how things, events, people around affect you. If what you see and feel happening is not what you want to be part of, you do not have to feel guilty about it. It is totally Ok to not be attracted to some events, relationships, or experiences. It is up to you to make a decision and not become engaged with something that does not feel right to you. You have a choice.

In my perception, life is a mysterious dance of Souls that come together to experience, to grow, to be. I love dancing and I see dance patterns in everything: from choosing the place to dance, to attracting the right partner, to having a joyful experience with it. In conclusion, I would like to share a few of my dance rules with you.

Timing is everything. You cannot co-create the dance when you are off beat or dancing a sequence that your partner is not aware of.

It is your dance. Acknowledge your nature, your gifts, and your ability to enjoy the dance of life as it comes to you. If you are not ready, do not let anyone lead you into something you are not equipped to handle yet.

Dance is an inner process, not an outer performance. Dance to experience the inner joy and do not invest your energy into impressing others.

Competition is a different activity. It takes a lot of work to compete. Dancing is not about competition. There are always better dancers on the floor as well as people that are learning from watching you dance. Let your heart dance and your legs follow.

Ambiance is important. Allow the music of life to move you forward. Dance in places that feel good, and leave an environment where you feel out of place.
Apply these rules to your dance of life and allow love, joy and the beat within to move you around your dancing floor. Life is too short to dance someone else’s sequence. Find your own flow and connect from de Corazon a Corazon, from heart to heart, to heart.

Killed by the Cupid or Valentine’s Day Survival Message

April 1st, 2011

The day is fast approaching and some of us get very creative and playful. It is like getting an official permission to be romantic, sexy and expressive about our feelings. Some of us become a bit antsy and even frustrated in response to the pressure to show up in the most intimate, and, at the same time, vulnerable caring way.

What am I going to give her, so she understands my message?
What should I give him, so he feels I really care about him, but do not support his life style?
How can I impress her if I do not have much cash to spare?

Most of our relationship schooling happens by observing our parents’ life, work, and how they relate to each other and to us. As this process unfolds, we are taught how to respond to similar situations with certain behaviors that may be very caring and nurturing or unsupportive and demanding of ourselves and others.

Every parent wants his/her child to accomplish something great in life and be more prosperous and successful than he or she is. We are often viewed by our parents as a final opportunity to realize their dreams. Often, we internalize their views of us and identify with their dreams, aspirations or accomplishments. We may not agree with, value, or accept these dreams as our own yet we still feel responsible to fulfill their expectations.

As parents continue to express the urgency to realize their partially unfulfilled desires, our young growing minds and hearts internalize this pressure and eventually transform it into tendencies to act on it. We act much faster then we are ready in order to relieve the pressure of their expectation. We start making decisions based on someone else’s belief vs. waiting for our own clarity. In addition, we are culturally conditioned to compete and “to be better” that often feels out of balance, unnatural to our core understanding of who we are, and extremely exhausting.

Most of us are deeply identify with the “not-self” patterns of early childhood conditioning supported by later experiences in life that match the same story. We constantly looking for love, approval and appreciation that we did not receive when we were young. This lack of support and unconditional love creates a feeling of insecurity limiting our natural expressions of creativity and love.

Love is caring, trusting, feeling safe and accepting. What we call love often feels like worry, control, intimidation, threat or submission and looking for approval that can give us a sense of lost parental attention or love. When you can recognize your true vibration in each moment you express your love, you will be able to be present and express the high vibration of creative flow with your unique flavor instead of figuring out how to please others based on your past experiences. For example, trusting your inner timing can help you lift off the pressure to make a decision when you may not be ready and clearly communicate your state to the person you love. Recognizing an outside or an internal pressure and allowing yourself to shift your attention into what you already have instead of what is missing, will help you activate your inner resources for making the most optimal choices in the present.

Emotional Dependency: Feeling Good When Feeling Bad

When you are living the dreams, ambitions, and life models that belong to your parents, teachers, or partners, you live according to what you think is expected of you. It creates stress and imbalances in your body, mind, and spirit, affecting all general aspects of your life.

A state of emotional, mental or physical imbalance, experienced over a substantial period (even for a month or so) eventually becomes our second nature. As we internalize our tribal dos, shoulds and do nots, our body/mind system identifies with these demands and changes our priorities according to other people’s needs and desires instead of following our own inclinations. We create an illusion of comfort through helping others, while a deep inner resentment and eventually a bottomless un-satisfaction begins to build up disrupting the graceful flow in our relationships.

Even if we have the best childhood and the most loving, attentive parents, we still experience the moments of shame or guilt and emotional manipulation during our first, most important years of development. Every critical interaction, every moment we feel that we are not living up to our parents’ expectations makes us a bit less confident and promotes the habit of pleasing others in order to prove our self-worth and experience acceptance and love. As we go through schooling, marriage, and raising our own children, we emanate these lower vibrations of fear, concern, and self-doubt. We start to worry about kids, or complain about life to people whom we love because these behaviors were the modeled ways to express love and compassion in our families.

Do you feel supported and cared for by the closest people in your family or by your romantic partners?
Are you taking your true Valentine to dinner next Monday or are you stuck with somebody that makes you feel insecure and worried just as your father (mother) did?
Do you like yourself when you are with your partner or you feel just the way you felt with your father (mother) and could never figure out how to please him(her)?

Lacking true, unconditional love and genuine interest in our lives, we look for people that may fulfill our need for inner safety and acceptance. Mistaking this need for a true love, we create all kinds of co-dependent relationships that remind us of our family of origin or reflect our own state of neediness. Even though these relationships keep us unbalanced, unhealthy and unhappy, they provide us with a familiar environment that we have learned to navigate.

What happens when your dialogue escalates in just a few minutes?
What drives you into states that are not only unpleasant, but also have long-term implications?
What makes you scream and cry while talking to the people you love the most?

Whatever drives you into a conflict-based conversation is often behavior or belief that has been modeled by your parents, spouses, or society at large. Eventually, this type of interaction becomes a norm and this way of being grows to be your own pattern. Your body becomes dependent on the level of stimulation that the conflict energy gives you. Why the heat during your conversation rises and your good intentions die in a conflict you did not mean to create? When people generate situations where there is no way out or they find the way to pick fights regularly, they are looking for pressure that allows them to interact more. This exhilarating rush makes them want to continue arguing and finding new hooks to engage their partners into a process through which they are getting internally stimulated.

The conflict, though unpleasant, may satisfy your dependency on the familiar chemicals released within your body while you are feeling lost, unheard or guilty. If you or your partner are addicted to these feelings, the fight helps create much-needed stimulant that paradoxically helps you feel better when you are really feeling worse. Becoming aware of these tendencies is one of the major steps in self-recovery and change that will allow your inner pharmacy to produce sustaining chemicals like endorphins to support your

The more we allow ourselves to be a part of and co-create this type of environment, the more we become dependant on the energy produced by the conflict we create. This behavior forms a pattern, or habit to be charged by the energy of an argument. This need carries itself over to other areas of our lives. We subconsciously begin to seek activities and relationships that require additional pressure, struggle, and drama. We become reliant on the sensations created by this chemical over-production in our system, and our inner pharmacy starts working over-time to support our need for this emotional drug.

The Solar Plexus which is the emotional center in a body is one of the major driving forces behind these actions. This is the center of self-acceptance, self-honor, and self –worth. It is where we feel a deep emotional guidance regarding our relationships and situations that are difficult to resolve. It gives us positive ideas of how to live a life of connection and love. We often do not recognize the simple truth of the Solar Plexus; any feeling is just a feeling. It allows you to really know what is out there by measuring your environment with your emotional barometer.

How to Avoid Living Not-Self Life?

We, humans, are deeply social and are specifically oriented on living and interacting with other people. As we interact with others, we regularly hear and often identify their ambitions as our own, whether we resonate with them or not.

Do you ever blurt things out of pressure, instead of speaking your truth and clarity?
Do you always know when it is your time for action feels?
Do you say “yes” to things and people that you are not interested in spending time with?

We have been living in our three-dimensional world for thousands of years. We started as simple patterns of energy and information and then evolved into more complex beings with multifaceted systems of energy and information. We now connect with the planets and each other at the level we still do not fully recognize. Today we are able to relate to ourselves as energetic beings more and more, letting this new experience unfold in front of our eyes. We witness tsunamis of love and hurricanes of destruction at every level, both personal and transpersonal that we produce. We are able to recognize that our every thought, every belief, every attitude delivers our energetic signature to the bigger picture of life.

It is important to know who you are and embrace all parts of you so you can role model the way you want to interact to others from the clarity and certainty of your uniqueness while letting others deal with their goals, objectives and timing.
It is up to you to stop watching and listening to the old program installed in your early years by some of the struggling individuals in your life. If you stop judging and blaming, you can use your energy to accept and live with what is real for you in the moment, change the situation or relationship, or find what is ideal for you. Give yourself permission to be different and make a conscious choice to be at peace with that.

It takes courage and practice not to be ashamed, feel guilty or try to cover up whatever makes you unique. The more you notice yourself being unique and different, and acknowledge that these are your gifts, the more secure, stable, and strong you will grow. This is just a suggestion, a new thought that you may want to incorporate into your thinking of yourself. If you come back to this thought a number of times, it will become your second nature.
You are the “right” person for your life, having the “right” experiences that were meant for you. You are “spot on” in your life journey. Accept your way of being and relate to yourself and create your life from your knowing.

Creating Your Life from Your Knowing

Notice when in your Valentine’s Day you experience big happy smiles or pressures to perform, the need to be noticed, the drive to talk even if you do not know what to say. Allow these pressures to be what they are, just the pressures. Know that you always have a choice in how you respond to the pressure: to let it flow or to identify with it and try to fix it.

It often takes more courage to let the pressure pass through your body then taking responsibility to carry them, but the choice is always yours. When you acknowledge your true essential nature, you will start releasing your old conditioned ways of being (like adopting other people ambitions, dysfunctional relationships and struggling with un-satisfying projects) and be YOU, say what YOU want to say, and find your voice of creation.

My life work is about helping people find their voice and communicate from inner guidance, innovation and personal power. It is my dream to serve you with my love’s creative expression through Soul paintings, YouTube videos and alchemical energy session for expansion. No one can give you the power to create love. It is your birthright, an innate authority given to you already. You already have a strategy and a power of co-creation within your universe. Use your light and beauty to illuminate love and creative force in others, so you can enjoy being the Valentine every day.

Got 2 B Free

I know you are a great teacher. You are a guiding light. You are an amazing coach and an authority on your topic. Yet… Do you ever feel like you have no way of reaching your own daughter or your spouse? If you feel lost even though you think you are the compass, I want to share a few stories with you.

Here is a story of a young man who tries his best to be a good husband for his ex-wife, current wife and the kids from both marriages. He gives them all they want. Working long hours, he supports their ideas and needs, yet BOTH wives decide to leave him. The last conflict makes no sense to him. She is so obsessed with the idea that she decides to vacate his home in the middle of the winter with his little daughter that he treasures and loves.

Here is a story of a devoted wife who cooks, and cleans, and takes care of the house in addition to working full time as a doctor. She takes great care of the kids and makes sure her husband’s needs are met and exceeded only to find out that her efforts are not noticed, appreciated or even needed. He is an interesting conversational partner, a happy fellow, and an entertainer by nature. Unfortunately, the only time he is not enthusiastic or attentive is when he is around her.

And here is another story. She is the mom. Her daughter hated the idea of college, yet mom dragged her through 5 years of higher education. The daughter could never be consistent with her efforts, yet mom invested a huge amount of money into buying a business the daughter dreamt about. The daughter lost her interest in a process after a year or so and stepped out of the business and lost all that she had. Mom gave her all her time and support as the daughter experienced life through sharing her time, money and energy with addicts and drunks. Gradually, the daughter spiraled down, going through a few abusive co-dependent relationships resulting in huge personal and financial losses. Loving her unconditionally, mom continuously supports her adult daughter, who is still in denial and often chooses to hide the truth of her un-sustainable self-destructing tendencies.

These people are real. They show up in my practice with no survival strategy, no hope for progress, no way to restore their integrity, often wondering:

How could it happen?

Did I lose my perspective?

Am I irresponsible mother (spouse)?

Am I to take control and stop my financial support? Will that keep her isolated from all the “bad” influences in the world?

Am I to let her probe the density of world’s drama and be an observer of it?

Should I allow her (him) to be free and explore the life lessons as she (he) chooses?

Should I be a controlling force in her (his) life and how can I be that without creating even bigger conflict?

If you are asking these questions as well, you are not alone. There are many people today who are awaken by the waves of the upcoming Shift in consciousness, pondering these same questions. These people are in the process of deep re-structuring of their life and their relationships to reflect their need for intimacy, respect and trust.

The Shift, as I know it, is leading us into a deeper perceptive about personal responsibility, personal space, and freedom of choice that are integral part of the new level of current awakening. We are learning about our personal need for freedom of Being and discovering that it includes the process of letting others BE no matter where we want them to go.

Each relationship in our life is a litmus paper of our inner freedom. It is a mirror of our ability to live on purpose, allowing our Spirit to be fully present in every interaction we experience with our spouses, partners or children. We can be the brightest Lightworkers with the most enlightening messages for others while being limited by our 3D environments and interactions. Our physical reality will always limit our ability to hold 5D awareness and unlimited perspective of our divine nature unless we learn to live in both worlds at the same time

How do we stay limitless, free and open even in the moments of deepest discord in out personal lives?

How do we apply the brightness of our creative light to our darkest moments?

How can we stay loving and unconditionally inspired by the Essence of who we are while commanding our life from certainty and wisdom?

Our physical bodies are the vehicles of our consciousness. As we grow and develop, our bodies are being exposed to many experiences that help us learn how to navigate the physical world. As we move forward, we collect and store the information that allows us create some simple rules that are important to our survival. Most of these rules are learned through incidents of fear and moments of non-survival. Based on these early endurance lessons, we develop defense mechanisms that allow us to plot a course through or completely avoid fearful and painful experiences in the future.

This information creates our body treasure map. The body continuously communicates this acquired wisdom through emotional overwhelm, mental knowing and physical sensations. Every time you feel unsafe and insecure, the old memory inside is triggered to protect you. The body’s defense mechanism then reaches for pain stored within one of the events and sends the full blown sensation into your awareness. You feel awful and automatically stop what you are doing (like making the same mistake again). The side effect of such defense strategy is an uncomfortable or even painful sensation you experience every time your body tries to get your attention in attempt to address the current safety matter.

Being unconscious and unaware of the real purpose of such communication, you may respond with the fear that it may happen again and again. This fear becomes a pre-course to any inner communication that follows after the first painful event.

How can you hold your ground without losing your Essence?

How can you stay true to the high vibration of Unconditional Love at your core?

What helps you be aware of the old pain coming to the surface and how can you consciously disconnect from the future related fear (either yours or someone else’s) that you may be experiencing in the current moment.

Asking these questions helps you become more aware of your so-creative role. Seeing what is happening from this awareness level helps you experience any distress without being scared of it. It helps you recognize that fear can only rule you (or your opponent) in the moment if you are not aware of it. You need to see, acknowledge and address of the fear feeling before you continue your interaction. Understanding WHAT YOU ARE AFRAID OF is the first step in this process. Admitting and transparently sharing this truth with your partner is the key step in opening the doors of mutual acceptance and cooperation.

Sharing your own fear and uncertainty creates a level of honesty, transparency and intimate communication that is impossible when one of the communicating partners holds the status of superiority. There is a difference between being certain, clear, and powerful verse being forceful, superior and controlling. Certainty and clarity creates a sacred space of mutual respect and open communication while dominance and demand creates resistance and rejection.

You cannot be overpowered, trapped or limited. You are surrounded by big powerful spirits who may look like small children, silly spouses or people in distress. These labels are just the roles people play in order to test their birthright to be FREE. Look deeper and see what kind of movie you have chosen, what role are you playing and who your supporting actors are. You are free to change your role, re-write your script, and even change the genre. You are a Free Spirit – enjoy your creation.

If you are thinking about New Year resolution, here is a relating idea that can really improve your life.

1. Remember details of your last conversation with someone you care about, somebody who gives you the biggest headache. Find the most challenging moments you experienced with this person and identify what was so scary or painful in these moments.
2. Ask yourself: What was (and still am) I afraid of? What he (she) is afraid of?
3. Share the source of your deepest insecurity first. Allow the energy of your intimate communication and trust to dismantle any need for defense and let the walls of rejection crumble.
4. Be patient. Each one of us is a big Spirit on a mission to Be and Become. Allow some time for your partners and children to just be in their process without the need to prove or explain themselves to you. Then share your fears and ask for their support in your feeling more connected and in “the loop” with them.
5. Be the guiding light. After all is said and done, less should be said then done. Do what is right. Stay in your course. Express your truth. Role model your certainty, love and cooperation from the deep knowing of what is right for you.
You cannot know how to Be or Become anyone, but you. You cannot live anyone’s life, but your own. You cannot make or prevent anyone’s mistakes, only your own. All you have is You. Treasure yourself.

All you are is Love. You cannot make a mistake when your heart radiates love. You are asking questions, but they are not for others to answer. They are for you, to bring you back to being aware, being you, and living your life according to your truth. Being afraid is normal. Share your fears with love and acceptance and allow others to share theirs without judgment. Let go of your defenses and see their defenses go down.

Remember you are just a piece of the bigger puzzle. Where you are in the moment is perfect. You are needed there to complete the picture for everyone you meet on your path. Never settle for less then you are. Your truth and your flavor are essential for our human puzzle. Do not make changes. Be the change you want to make. Be the blessing for all who chose to come into your life. Live your wildest dream. Practice the freedom of being you. Enjoy the most amazing experiences in 2011.

The Marriage Puzzle: To Be Or Not To Be?

April 1st, 2011

My relationship movie channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/lanapritzker?feature=mhum

This month I had a pleasure of being invited to a beautiful wedding. This invitation came over just a few weeks after the one of my young clients showed up in my office with a huge uncertainty about herself, her future life and most importantly, a big confusion about her previous relationship. This is what she sent me after this session:

“A “happy bride” seems to be one of those statements that are oftentimes assumed to be true. After all, the ring is finally on the finger that was once empty and the gruesome search is over. I am very blessed, indeed, to fall into the blissfully “happy bride” category. This would not have been the case without you, my dear mentor, teacher, and friend.

You taught me to believe in myself, embrace life around me, and channel out negative energy effectively. I can picture my former self as a bride, and trust me, it’s not pretty. Your training and devotion to my progress has made me a stress free bride and allowed me to actually enjoy this absolutely fantastic process of planning my big day. My friends who always told me I’d be a bridezilla are now calling me bridezilla “wannabe” (which I take as a compliment).

But the most important thing I received from you was your gift of understanding and acceptance. I often think of you and feel your warmth and hear your words of wisdom whenever life throws me a curve, and that is the best gift of all, a timeless gift. My fiancé is eternally grateful to you, the woman who brought out aspects of my Being I never knew existed. He believes that without your guidance I just could miss out on a great love story, ours.”

This letter is not about being grateful for finally getting married. It is rather about being grateful for finding the true self and making a decision with confidence and joy of knowing you are choosing what is right for you. For me, this letter is about finding peace with your own Being and sharing your true essence with someone who can understand, appreciate and support what you respect and cherish about yourself.

Working with many couples who were planning to get married (www.themarriagepuzzle.com), married couples and those who were on the verge of separation, I had a unique opportunity to notice the common patterns that showed up again and again in every interaction I observed. These were common habits of “pleasing others” and resenting it at the same time mixed with the need “to be right” and the need to prove yourself. These behaviors were considered by at least one person in each couple to be a necessity for peaceful co-existence that naturally occurred at the beginning of the relationship. Yet as relationship progressed, the habit of not communicating transparently, keeping your truth to yourself and doing things that did not feel right in order to stay in relationship actually ruined the relationship or attracted the wrong person as a partner. This strategy did not work in a long run.

When you act out of pressure or out of the need verse acting according to your heart desires, love and understanding, you create a pile of resentment that is really hard to clean up as it keeps building a wall around your heart. Each of us is a inimitable Being who’s unique flavor really makes humanity more interesting and enlightened (in spite of what your parents told you). You are distinctively programmed to BE YOU and interact with the world in YOUR WAY. This is the biggest gift you can give to your family, your community and humanity as a whole.

As we interact with people in our environment (in order to fulfill our needs and desires), we hear some opinions and criticism that usually reflect these people’s emotional state and the state of mind. Unfortunately, we internalize some of these opinions and create habits that protect us or compensate for our feeling of being “inadequate”. When we unconsciously act from this internalized feeling, we often enter into unpleasant situations that reflect our fears and create unproductive relationships. Building relationships that thrive starts with consciously understanding and accepting your true nature and living accordingly. When your relationship with yourself is changed to loving and accepting, it begins to show up externally: you visit the right places at the right time and co-create synchronistic events with the right people who you attract easily.

Honoring yourself for your individuality is the most important and challenging task for most of us. If you would like to check in with yourself and see how your inner relationship affects your external life, I invite you to spend a few minutes contemplating the questions below. As you are reading these questions, please mark “yes” or “no” for each one of them to help you become more conscious about things you may unconsciously hide or compromise about.

Do you try to convince everyone that they are wrong?

Are you driven by the need to be right?

Are you staying involved in and holding onto relationships, jobs and places that are not good for you?

Are you manufacturing interpretations to avoid telling or facing the truth?

Are you avoiding confrontation or rocking the boat with another person?

Are you experiencing pressure to be able to answer everyone else’s questions?

Are you acting in a hurry and thinking that you can free yourself of the pressure by getting things done faster?

Are you depleting your energy by not knowing when “enough is enough”?

Do you feel enslaved and victimized?

Do you feel a need to prove yourself to others?

Do you have a tendency devalue yourself or your services?

Are you being disappointed by your love life or preoccupied with finding love?

Are you feeling doubtful and indecisive about your direction in life?

Are you trying to attract attention?

Are you anxious about the manifestation of your desires?

If you answered “yes” to most of these questions, checking in with your most important values and seeing if your values are supported within your relationships will give you some deep insights about why you do what you do and feel what you feel. Just write down your 5-7 major values and check every relationship you feel off about against this list. Simple awareness and understanding how the need “to please others” or “prove yourself” influences your decisions and how this affects your life can help you eliminate resistance, minimize painful experiences and assists you in making decisions without relying on outside authorities. It can help you value yourself, be available to yourself and be able to do the best for others without damaging yourself and disregarding who you are and what you value.

I invite you to become aware of your unique place in the human puzzle and see that it is perfect for you and people you attract in your life. It is time to call your power back from every compromise and every resentment pile you’ve created. I invite you to take back your attention from everyone you are wanting to fix and everyone who is trying to fix you and put your attention on yourself. I invite you to open your heart to yourself and give the love that you are so eager to share, to yourself.

This holiday season give yourself a gift you want to send to others, allow yourself to receive all the love and attention you are so willingly send away and add the joy you are creating for others to every aspect of your own life Allow yourself to speak up, to wear what you want, to do what you care about and to be true to yourself while being truthful with others. This is the biggest gift you can share – the gift of HAPPY, HEALTHY, TRUTHFUL and TRANSPARENT YOU!

The Alchemy of Pleasure: How to transform pain and suffering into happiness and delight

April 1st, 2011

My relationship movie channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/lanapritzker?feature=mhum

Just recently I’ve conducted a workshop during which we have been exploring aspects of personal alchemy. We’ve experimented with ways to transform the led within our life into the gold of loving relationships, connection to our inherent nature and expansion of consciousness. Today I would like to share my findings about the mystery of personal Alchemy and how to apply your innate abilities to transform the energy of struggle and frustration into the energy of pleasure and intimate relating in your life.

I absolutely love the slogan on Jim Self’s website: “Alchemy is the ability to transform one possibility into another.” Fortunately, we all are true alchemists whether we consciously know about it or not. Moving through the day, taking care of yourself or your family members, having a relationship… All these tasks require a high level of alchemical mastery. Without consciously thinking about your alchemical qualities you are constantly transforming one possibility into another.

Just remember:

How many times you transformed a conflict into a peaceful resolution?

How many times you uplifted someone from being in despair into the state of hope?

How many times you transmuted suffering by shifting your relationship onto neutrality or pleasure?

Often my clients say that they experience non-appreciation, non-recognition, and dis-honoring of their spirit by others. Let’s be honest with ourselves and acknowledge that there is something that makes you feel the worst. Let’s explore how you can become effective and masterful in the areas that still create disharmony in your life.

Do you experience any luck of appreciation in your life and within your relationships?

Are you appreciating, recognizing, and honoring your spirit?

Are you modeling this appreciation to others?

How many times your conversation with family members end up with accusations and criticism instead of appreciation, recognition, and honoring? If you live with someone who is not worth your appreciation, recognition, and honoring, you may want to ask yourself: why am I still together with this person?

Sometimes we just forget how to share our appreciation, recognition, and honoring with each other. If you are missing such soul connection, I recommend you to have an appreciation talk using simple ideas below:

1. Create a list of qualities that you appreciate in yourself. Read it out loud and with passion to yourself. Sense how each quality feels in your body and notice how your spirit is smiling within.

2. Ask your spouse, partner/child to create a list of qualities they appreciate in themselves. Ask them to create as big of a list as they can.

3. After a good meal (not instead of before it!) have a conversation about your mutual qualities. Simply ask your partner to listen to you sharing what you appreciate in yourself . Ask him or her to simply listen without commenting on it as it will allow them to get to know you from a new perspective. Notice how you feel during and after this conversation.

4. Do the same for your partner (even if it is your child). Notice how their face changes as they share their view of themselves. See their Presence coming alive in front of your eyes.

If you feel you’d rather talk to someone more neutral then your spouse, ask a friend to share your mutual appreciation. Even though this seems to be a simple exercise, having this conversation will create a profound awareness in how you feel about yourself and each other. You will experience an amazing feeling of being seen by yourself and people you are close with. This validation will create an energetic wave within your personal Universe affecting every relationship you create.

The Law of Attraction acts through you all the time. You are an attraction point for every experience, every relationship in your life. From the Soul perspective, you are never wrong in your decisions or actions. Every event or relation you are experiencing fits perfectly within your personal Earth Drama script. The more frustrating and painful your relationships are, the more awaken and sensitive you become. This helps you recognize when and why your Spirit is gone and raises your awareness about how to make your Spirit dwell in your body. You begin noticing when you feel suffocated and when you feel exhilarated. You start looking for uplifting, loving, supporting experiences and you start asking soul level questions:

What am I about?

Where is my place in the human evolution?

What can I do to help higher consciousness descend fully into my physical form?

There are 6 major patterns of suffering that are present, at least to some extend, in every relationship:

1. Repression
2. Denial
3. Shame
4. Rejection
5. Guilt
6. Separation

These archetypal behaviors create lower vibrational states of fear, anger, resentment and suffering that are based on dishonoring your feelings and suppressing your truth in order to be loved. When we repress our feelings, deny our needs, or become ashamed of ourselves (and people that we love), we lose part of our spirit in a process. When we reject someone, feel guilty of something, experience ourselves as separate/abandoned, we enter (and often get stuck) in emotional states that are way below our natural enthusiasm and interest in life. This creates energetic stagnation of unsatisfied desires and patterns of mental, emotional, and physical suffering.

Do you want to transform the pain of the unconscious nightmare into pleasure of fully awaken consciousness?

Awakening begins with answering your own healing questions:

How can I stop repressing my heart feelings?

What would make me trust that my Soul journey is directed by Divine Will and the challenges I am experiencing are never bigger than what I can overcome and learn from? How can I hear Divine Will that is talking to me through my family members. What can help me remember that I am old enough now and it is safe to take a breath of life and take charge of my life.

How can I stop my own denial? How can I start listening to what my body is telling me and act on my intuition? How can I access my higher mind and act from the wisdom of knowing verse the need to fit with the crowd (or even one person’s opinion about me) ?

What am I ashamed of? Are these my own feelings and words or am I just repeating what I’ve heard from others who were manipulating my behaviors by shaming me in the past? What are the words I WANT to use to describe me and honor and appreciate myself with? If I am looking for true love, can I experience an unconditional love toward myself and model it for others?

How can I stop rejecting others in fear that they may reject me? Do I notice when I become judgmental toward myself or others? Can I look for an underlying feeling, an insight into the truth of each individual I meet? Can I see that everyone I am attracting into my life has a piece of the puzzle that helps me learn something new about me? How would our relationship look like if I already graduated from this life class and acted from the epiphany that was hiding inside each of my interactions.

How can I stop feeling guilty? How can I find my own vibrational tone and stay in my emotional vibration even if someone I love is scared, angry or resentful about my thoughts and actions. How can I understand another person’s pain without getting sucked into it? How can I forgive myself for holding a higher vibration and being at least neutral while others are falling apart? How can I understand that I am just feeling low in a moment and forgive myself for taking some time out from the drama for recuperation. How can I forgive others for being who they are and letting them be. How can I understand that everyone’s journey is their own business and let them manage it on their own? How can I stop fixing myself, the world and individual people in order to feel better?

How can I stop a habit of separation? How can I allow myself to see, speak and be my truth? How can I notice that each person has his or her own piece of the Truth and only collectively we hold a bigger picture? How can I be honest, transparent and intimate with myself and others in a way that creates an environment of truthful open communication and unrestricted energy flow? How can I be an ambassador of higher truth we call Oneness? What would it take for me to commit to being true to myself in every relationship I create?

Learning to notice what vibration you are in by becoming aware of this low vibrational patterns matrix (Repression, Denial, Shame, Rejection, Guilt, and Separation) is a major step in seeing what kind of space you are creating for yourself and others. They will also help you train yourself to set a higher vibrational environment for your personal and collective growth. Being aware of what triggers you into these six vibrations gives you a deeper understanding of your Soul Journey and the role of the players you invite to share your experience. You start seeing your relationships from your HIGHER Self perspective, having a totally different experience.

In biology, the evolution is viewed as a process by which all species develop from earlier forms of life. According to this theory, natural variations in the genetic material create new and different organisms that develop as a result of such changes. Traditionally, evolution is seen as the path of advancement of the matter. At the same time, if you deeply look into our current genetic variations reflected by “indigo” adults, “rainbow”, “crystal” and transitional new children, you will notice that we are experiencing an evolution of consciousness that drives our body (our current matter) into higher vibration. All these magical telepathic skills, entrepreneurial traits and ability to receive and process different types of sensory data by children labeled with ADD/ADHD/Autistic tendencies, can also be seen as the signs of higher consciousness evolving our physical matter in order for us to safely go through the Shift and be able to successfully bridge the Heaven and Earth.

If you see the changes within current physicality of the human species as a reflection of the process that allows our higher aspects to fully descend and stay present during this life time on Earth, you will understand how matter just follows the consciousness that needs the body for new experiences and further evolution. You will also see every experience, every relationship that results in a physical pain or transformation as a process chosen by your evolving consciousness. Your Soul is working hard to create a vibrational shift within your body from being powerless or victimized by the circumstances of life into fully grown powerful Spiritual Being playing a Human Role for its own advancement.

If you want to see your personal role in the Shift, look at one of your hardest experiences.

I invite you to and write a little letter to your consciousness:

1. Look at the most challenging lesson of your life and describe it shortly.

2. Read it and start looking for the powers it gave you, the gifts that came into your life because of this experience. Write how it changed your way of forming and sustaining relationships with others.

3. Look at the part that helps you see how this experience impacted your life. Did it take away your power or did it give you more understanding and commanding force to be a cause in your life ? It will help you become aware of your position on your consciousness map. Notice: Are you being stuck in this experience of the past or it illuminated your consciousness and gave you a new observational platform for making future decisions and acting on them?

5. Find some new aspects within your current life reflecting how your consciousness grew from this past experience. Look for some new ways of appreciating what happened for its impact on your life. Use this letter to express a gratitude to your Soul and wonderment about your magical Self for growing and changing so rapidly.

Your consciousness is not separate from Oneness we are all part of. Every time you see the truth behind the story created by your experience, you recover a piece of your Soul left behind. The more whole and complete you become, the more of your grown up consciousness is reflected within your relationship with yourself. This new vibration starts affecting different layers of your creation, including your relationships with others. Your heart, connected to your higher mind, fills with recognition, appreciation and honoring yourself. It makes your personal physical container stronger and a sweet spot of your magical self within it even bigger. This alchemical shift allows you to drop a pebble of your life purpose in the ocean of love that you are, creating a scalar wave that amplifies your impact within your family, community, country, global consciousness and Cosmic collective, transforming pain and suffering into happiness and delight.

Love is Love and Sex is Sex.

September 21st, 2010

Being a little child is easy… You want something and you scream… Immediately everyone pays attention and you get what you want (just because your expression is loud, annoying and invokes pity and worry). Or you smile. You open those big magical child’s eyes and they melt anyone around you. And you get what you want.

Being a little child is simple… When you do not want something, you scream… Immediately everyone pays attention (just because you are loud, irritating and persistent) and they let you be. Or you run away and hide behind the chair and they forget about you.  Or you change the rules of your game if it does not work for you. You make new friends every day. You break up with old ones every day. You love them, you hate them, you forget about them at the end of the preschool day and you are free to make new choices tomorrow.

Being an adult is not that straightforward. You have to fit, you have to perform. You have to know what is right. And you cannot change the rules or use your childhood tools as often as before. You cannot scream, cry, or run all the time. You’d be called irresponsible. You’d be accused of being childish. You have to “be accountable and dependable” for others .So when you feel like a lost child, you hide the truth and you go about your business of being an adult. But the truth of being lost never dies. It settles in and it waits for you to grow up enough so you can look yourself in a eye and be 100% honest about it.

The energy permeating the Earth these days is incredible. We are in a huge cleansing wave that washes away all that is unsustainable in our life structures. Whatever you were hiding inside that had no energy to survive the Shift is showing up and your outside structures that held it in hiding are falling apart. Every hidden dissatisfaction, every repressed desire, every unsatisfied need is being brought to the surface and illuminated by the light of your Soul.

The vibrational quality of this wave is what we call Unconditional Love. The love I am talking about is not an emotional label or a human expression of longing. It is not an action of caring, nurturing or needing to be taken care of. It is not a mental understanding and forgiveness based on previous agreements and contracts with others or yourself. I am talking about pure vibration, electricity, magnetism, gravity… a pure force that could be measured as a wave form. This energy is huge. It is a vitality of a spring flower rushing through the dirt. It is a force of Mother Nature destroying an old forest by fire. It is the Cosmic Mother washing her sloppy kids after millennia of playing in a mud.

This powerful energy awakens those who are unaware of being unaware and makes them wonder. It awakens those who are attentive of what is happening around them and make them active participants in the Shift. It awakens those who are conscious of their role and path and make them practical leaders, teachers, role models. But most importantly, it awakens everyone to every aspect of life they identify with and make us question if this is what is ours.

This vibration of Love acts like Crazy Glue that binds people together. All of a sudden you find yourself falling in love. This loving tenderness moves through your body looking for something similar from the past that it could identify with. The closest experience of what is happening now is similar to being in love with your first grade teacher, wanting to marry your mom, or share your most riches with your friend form the third grade.

This energy of unconditional love and non-judgmental connection cannot be explained on a human level because we do not have any words for it. There is nothing you can label it with. It feels new, re-freshing, and innovative. It feels like you are 15 again and you can change the rules, rebel, experiment and explore the only way we know how – through falling in love and becoming lovers. All we know about love between adults is a sexual expression and that is what may be happening in your life right now. You experience a deep longing and a need to be engaged with your sexual energy.

Because this experience of love vibration is very different and so much bigger then anything you’ve ever experienced before, it cannot be fully experienced within the paradigm of our traditional relationship structures based on obligations, old contracts and guilt. These routines are unsustainable because they are just coping mechanisms that allowed us to survive, but they did not feed our body, mind and spirit. As a powerful vibration of current energy moves through us, it creates an evolutionary impulse that cannot be stopped unless we restrain ourselves through traditional ways of holding our true nature tamed.

These coping strategies create a web of self-destruction by weakening our physical body through repression and denial, deteriorating our emotional system through shame and rejection, and devastating our relationships with patterns of guilt and separation.

Each of these strategies has a potential to mature when we are willing to look into and take responsibility for resolving our deep seeded longing for Love, unconditional acceptance and pure unselfish connection with our wild divine nature.

How to start your growing process?

We start by recognizing every unsatisfied emotional, physical and mental need that we repressed. Being transparent about your deeply hidden sadness, disappointment, and lost hopes, you move into clearly seeing your habits of self-denial. What are the true reasons for your hidden sadness, disappointment, and lost hopes? You stop blaming others for what you are experiencing, you take your attention off how THEY did not give you what you want and you make yourself available to yourself. This is an amazing opportunity to play a new game where you change your character into being resourceful, wise, and powerful force in your own life.

It is time to become 100% honest about your ability to stand on your own feet without leaning on anyone else. This will help you rapidly grow into your current age by letting go an idea that someone is, can or has to be your surrogate parent if you claim to be an adult.

You then look into what you repressed and denied yourself of and notice if you carry any shame around it (feeling something wrong with you, not being good enough, not fitting in). Shame is one of the first emotional patterns we experience as little kids. Our parents are rarely 100% aware that their parenting strategies that are repeatedly based on manipulating our behaviors by shaming. We feel unloved and rejected and we learn to criticize and shame ourselves and reject others before they reject us.

The truth of the matter is that you’ve never made a mistake in walking your evolutionary path. These unresolved issues and unfulfilled desires are there to move you, shake your world, give you an experience of contrast, and make you feel alive. The more you hide form yourself and your truth, the less alive you feel. Eventually your survival instinct kicks in to save the day. You explode, you allow, you experience what you were longing for and for a moment you feel one with your Soul.

You never fall in love with a person outside of yourself. When you like yourself when you are relating to something or someone outside of yourself, you simply fall in love with what resonates within. This recognition makes you breathe, smile and relax into being you. You fall in love with being free of repression, denial, shame, and rejection. And then you feel guilty… You feel like you betrayed someone that leans on you… Or someone you lean on. You feel you’ve separated from Divinity when, in fact, you just found your lost Divinity.

Journey into your untamed godly nature is an amazing journey. It is a passage of self permission, self sustainability and self admiration. It is a pathway into your Soul through allowing yourself to be 100% honest about your nature … first with yourself and then with those that are close to you. It is a journey of intimate connection with your body that leads to recognition and allowing of the human needs to be fulfilled while your energy is being focused on your Soul Journey.  It is an exploration through which you are finding your self-worth, let go of greed and learn to stay present to vibrations of love in every single moment.

How do you stay present?

There are many moments in our life that are passing by unnoticed. Focusing on how much pleasure you can experience in every breath, activity, conversation, touch, smell, and connection without the fear of how and what may or may not happen later is the key. It is about understanding and forgiving yourself for being human while understanding and forgiving others for playing along and being supportive actors in your human drama. It is about showing up in your life 100% and making decisions based on what supports you in your journey.

It is about finding ways to powerfully move your energy independently from what others may or may not offer in a moment through movement, breath, energy and body work. It is also about asking for what you want clearly and openly and allowing the energy of your desire to move freely through your material plane. Life never gives you something that you cannot handle. It only opens it treasure chest when you are big enough to invest your energetic currency into your universal Love bank. So, be curious, open and grateful for what is showing up in your life as a response and be adult enough to recognize the changes that are magical manifestations of desire to grow up happy.

Being honest and transparent with yourself… look into what is missing in your relationship, so you know exactly what you are looking for outside of it. Then, being completely clear and courageous, make a commitment to shift your relationship be a perfect match to your desire (in my coaching practice I work with couples to make it happen) or honestly accept your resignation if it is not possible. This will help you make decisions that support a new stage in your relationship while supporting your own growth.

Love is Love. Sex is just a part of what we, humans, call Love. An important part though. Our life force energy is generated and sustained via fully expressed sexuality, yet this is just one way of self-expression. When creative life force energy is not appreciated, recognized, acknowledged, and supported within relationship, sex seems to be the only way to get this energy moving. On the other hand, when someone really understands your creative genius and supports your creative growth, you fall in love with them and you find the way to express it.

We create Love in many different ways… Sex is only one of them. Love is what we are looking for, the feeling of being at Home. We want feel love, to feel loved. This is the energy that creates kids, writes songs, builds cities and dances tango. We are made in the God’s image and can it is our birthright to play with creative energy of Love, including human expressions and interpretations of it, making our drama on Earth worth our while.

Designed for Perfection

September 12th, 2010

Are you aware of how your relationships initiate the most important and challenging lessons in your life time. Today I would like to share with you my insights about the ways we form our human puzzle. This article contains some practical tools that, if practiced, may help you successfully build your relation-SHIP, navigate deep emotional waters, and experience tsunamis of Love.

Doing thousands of individual and family readings over the last 10 years helped me clearly see behaviors through which we interact with the world and synergize a remarkable system of road maps revealing our inner natural drives and potential areas where our decisions may be influenced by others.

When we consciously live according to our true nature, we visit the right places at the right time and co-create synchronistic events. When we unconsciously act from our need to protect ourselves internalized in the earlier years, we form behaviors that compensate for this constant strain. These habitual ways of being become a strong attraction filed that often leads us into unpleasant situations that reflect our fears and create unproductive relationships.

Ancient energy systems recognized our body as an instrument of measuring overall wellbeing while focusing inwardly.  As many generations before us experienced the intensity of life on Earth and the need to stay alive conditioned our ancestors to change their ways of using inner system.  They shifted their focus and began using their energy centers to perceive outwardly as a survival mechanism.

The change from inner knowing of what is right for us to focusing on what others may feel about us, dramatically changed our relationship with the outside world and ourselves.  This collective shift contributed to our inability to focus and trust ourselves for guidance.  Disconnected from a feeling state, we had to make decisions based on what we think. As you might have noticed in your own life, decisions based on reasoning (less evolved intellectual process of figuring things out based on previous personal experiences) often over-ride your natural survival instincts and lead to misfortunes and pain. For a moment think about:

How many times did you know that the project you were getting into was wrong for you, but signed up for it in spite of your knowing?

How many times have you felt uncomfortable about someone, but created a partnership or formed a relationship based on your calculations?

How many times have you known exactly what would happen if…, and continued doing something that did not feel right?

Honoring ourselves for our individuality is the most important and challenging task for most of us. As we enter agreements with people we love, we often lose our true identity and ability to honor our own interests and life purpose. It is time for us to become aware of how our inner environment affects our external life. This awareness will help us to synchronize with the Shift in every area of human life that is taking place right now and start making little changes that will affect your relationships and ability to stay in sync with Earth changes in a very BIG way.

I invite you to spend a few minutes contemplating the questions below. As you are reading these questions, please mark “yes” or “no” for each one of them.

Do you try to convince everyone that they are wrong?

Are you driven by the need to be right?

Are you staying involved in and holding onto relationships, jobs and places that are not good for you?

Are you manufacturing interpretations to avoid telling or facing the truth?

Are you avoiding confrontation or rocking the boat with another person?

Are you experiencing pressure to be able to answer everyone else’s questions?

Are you acting in a hurry and thinking that you can free yourself of the pressure by getting things done faster?

Are you depleting your energy by not knowing when “enough is enough”?

Do you feel enslaved and victimized?

Do you feel a need to prove yourself to others?

Do you have a tendency devalue yourself or your services?

Are you being disappointed by your love life or preoccupied with finding love?

Are you feeling doubtful and indecisive about your direction in life?

Are you trying to attract attention?

Are you anxious about the manifestation of your desires?

If you answered “yes” to most of these questions, you may benefit from listening to some of my YouTube presentations.

Releasing Emotional Stress http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz1IMVyPJIY

From Longing to Serenity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZKSpmZ134c

Trusting Your Inner Guidance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6AAjPe8YFw

In these short videos I share some recent downloads about why we do what we do and feel what we feel and reveal some unique strategies for stepping into and sustaining your wellbeing, romantic relationships or financial commitments consciously.

We are all born with natural talents and abilities that meant to be your “ticket” into the collective drama we play. As you become aware of the bigger picture, you eliminate resistance and struggle that in turn minimizes painful experiences and assists you in making decisions without relying on outside authorities.

The shift we are experiencing now is teaching you to value yourself, be available to yourself and provide the best you have to offer to others without damaging yourself. Becoming aware of your perfection is the first step in this process.  How can you do this?

Make a commitment to:

  1. Finding 3 little (or big) things that you really appreciate about yourself every morning (even if it is you always taken for grated) and say it to yourself as you are taking shower or washing your face.
  2. Repeat this process in the evening. If you are completely stuck, open a dictionary and look for the words that describe you or your behaviors. If you become critical and cannot find anything you love and appreciate about yourself, make a commitment to change 1 little thing in a way that you can be Ok with this aspect of yourself and cultivate this new change for at least 3 weeks (21 days)
  3. Share something good about yourself with at least 1 person a day. Learn to appreciate yourself in public and educate others about something they can learn from you or benefit from being around you.

Calling your power back and opening yourself to receive all the best that is there for you is the next step in which you embody what you have been learning all your life.

How do you do this? Commit to:

  1. Calling your attention back to yourself every time you start thinking about something or somebody that makes you sad, worry, angry, frustrated. Notice where you are and what is around you. Doing so at least 3 times a day you will unplug from collective anger, frustration and resentment and save your inner power that is used to fight with or defend yourself from your “inner ghosts” .
  2. Cultivating your voice power. Every time you are in a shower, take a breath and send your sound down through the core of your body. When the sound reaches your sacral area, you will gain and learn to maintain the tone and power that will allow you to be heard.
  3. Being truthful. Breathe evenly (4 counts in, 4 counts out) for a few seconds to synchronize your heart and breath before you speak. Tell your partner what YOU feel and what YOU want. You do not need to explain or prove yourself. All you are doing is sharing your truth. Every time you are able to continue breathing evenly as you are communicating your truth in the MOMENT, you gain your power to co-create your experiences the way you desire to experience them

As you recognize, acknowledge and accept yourself, you will also notice the energetic data collected by your body from encounters with people, organizations, and circumstances in your life. This data was “programmed” into your body to remind you to be extra careful, doubt your ideas, and not act on your inner knowing in fear of having pain or rejection you’ve experienced before.

These limiting believes and over-reactions are not you. They are your learned “defensive” strategies and conditioned responses. If all you know is what other people have said about you, you cannot notice your gifts and huge potentials because you just do not know what to look for. Without knowing and appreciating who you are first, you cannot really fully relate to others.  This inner work is about adding joy to every aspect of your life and allowing yourself to be true to yourself while being truthful with others. It has a potential for a great wisdom and understanding of what is yours versus what is “theirs and let go of attachments that keep your energy supporting 1000s of different demand.

Knowing your gifts and talents, loving yourself without any conditions and shifting your attention into being yourself creates a strong foundation for building a successful relationship while being true to your nature, dreams and values.

Mastering Energetics of Love: Who Else Wants to Grow Up?

September 12th, 2010

So… You are tired of taking care of everyone’s needs. Or better said, you are tired of not being taken care of. You carry a load of frustrations, disappointments, expectations. You feel like crying, screaming, running away. Anything he says is a trigger. Everything you say is an effort. Is he ever listening? Are you even there to ask?

I was truly shocked this month with the issues my clients brought to the sessions:

  • My sex life sucks. I did not have an orgasm in 20 years and I do not care anymore.
  • Her body is like dead. She does not care. I have to look for someone else, but we have small kids…
  • My marriage is dead. I am dead.  I cannot live like that anymore. I want to feel alive!
  • I told him I do not want another child right now. He betrayed me and ejaculated, but I did not even notice.
  • I love him and I am leaving him. I finally found someone who can give me what I want – normal sex life.
  • She always wants something. She makes me feel small. I do not know how to be a man anymore.

You asked for something new, something different, something big?

At this time the Universe guides you into something bigger then your past experience. Here it is.

Anything that is not in alignment with your big desire is showing up and you are ready to face it.

Does it feel too big to handle?

To scary?

Almost catastrophic?

Take a breath!

The waves are huge, yet you are bigger! You are big enough to ride the waves. And you have permission to be as big as you want. It is time to Grow Up!

As I look into my clients body response to the triggers we identify together, I see the same issues coming to the surface again, and again and again: the issues of not being taken care of, listened to, appreciated and loved in a way that feels personal and connected. As we look into the basis of dissatisfaction and resentment, there is always a trigger that is rooted in the previous experiences of not being taken care of. Our conscious mind is linear. We remember our past and we project the negative outcome we experienced before into the future. Based on this memory and the charge associated with the past event, we create an attraction field that pulls in people and circumstances that help us justify our story, our feelings and our defense strategies again, and again, and again.

When you a not being cared for as a child or satisfied in your needs later on in your relationship, you feel unsecure, unprotected, and unloved. You feel a need to protect yourself, so you create defense mechanisms, behaviors that are based on your need to protect yourself from getting into situation, similar to an event that made you feel unsafe in the past. Then you use your interpretation of the past to justify your emotional charge and behaviors that come with it. The more memories and unresolved trigger points you hold in your consciousness, the bigger your inner army needs to be. This energetic army often becomes both the source of overwhelming outbursts and the source of energetic depletions within the current situations that remind you of the past.

If your physical needs did not get satisfied during the early childhood, you may experience the same issue at the emotional level later on, in your teens or through your first sexual experience. First seven years of your life you are learning how to exist on a material plane and take care of your basic survival needs. You learn to communicate with your parents and caregivers in a way that gives you maximum nurturing with minimum risk. This is the time of creating approaches that will become your major behavior strategies for life. If some of your strategies do not work well, your needs may not be satisfied. This situation creates a time loop that will stay in your life until the need is taken care of and you complete your first learning cycle in the school of life.

If you suppress the need in response to parental unavailability, it will repeat its educational process in the next 7 year cycle that has to do with your emotional development. This time you would need to find your way through the maze of human interactions and moral structures that hold the human puzzle together which adds another story flavor to your desires and needs.  This next level in personal development dictates how you will protect yourself and deal with the situation at hand using emotional manipulation. One may become a needy co-dependent nudging child who’s energetic currency is being invested in attracting attention and love at any cost. One can also become a ”bully” who is constantly attracting negative attention and presence of others in one’s space. One can also feel so lost and abandoned, that he/she may choose the loneliness as a way to create an artificial isolation, succumbing to addiction of feeling sorry for oneself, un-needed and abandoned.

So, what is your role in the relationship you are experiencing?

Are you an orphan that is still feeling lost and unprotected?

Are you a controller, a bully that gets someone’s love and attention even at the expense of the conflict?

Are you a magical child that creates with the Angels and Fairies?

Are you the Light that is projecting its innovative ideas on the screen of reality or are you a jack-o-lantern, projecting creepy images and insecurities onto relationships with others.

If what is unfolding in your life and your relationships is scary or simply is not what you desire, look into how what is happening is similar to what you have been experiencing before. Instead of judging and blaming the other, look at what exactly are you missing and complete this vicious cycle to your satisfaction. Notice when you are asking your partner to be your mother, and a father, and a healer, and a care taker. Notice if you are acting from a little child’s powerlessness and dependency or you speak up your truth from the Love, the certainty and the knowing that you are.  Notice if there is a resentment that is building in both your partner (who may resist playing a paternal figure in your life) and you (who is still missing out on being taken care of.) Once you see the repetitive pattern, you need to complete this unfinished business for yourself in order to move on.

I include a very simple, very practical way to complete your childhood cycles at the end of this article. It will help you take care of each and every one of your unresolved needs and unsatisfied desires experiencing 100% satisfaction if you choose so. Even before you are done with your full list, you will find yourself in state of equilibrium and maturity that was not available to you before. You may notice your inner dialogue changing from blaming, complaining and/or self-criticism to thinking: “ I see where I am and I see where you are. I am Ok with where we are. I do not need to change you in order to be Ok. And I do not need to change myself in order to fulfill anyone’s projections or ideas about me. I love you and I let you be. I love myself enough to let myself be. I know my truth. I respect my truth. I am whole and complete just the way I am.”

The Shift we are experiencing is about stepping up our energy and take responsibility for the patterns that need and want to be transmuted. If you are facing something big today, know that you are BIGGER then anything you are facing and Universe is seeing and recognizing your bigness.

Our ability to create depends on how much we are present to ourselves and others how big we are about asking for what we want and receiving what is given to us with Grace. Focusing unconsciously on unfulfilled childhood needs makes us Conforming, Judgmental, Needy, Lonely, Isolated, Over-reactive, Co-Dependent. It makes us feel Dumb, Fragmented, Lost, Disoriented, Dislocated, Anal, and Disordered. Our relationships become Chaotic, Mediocre, Inauthentic as we grow to be more and more Absent  from our Hectic, Superficial,  Grasping, Flaky existence.

Growing up is about consciously acknowledging your needs and taking responsibility for fulfilling them. It is time to take charge of your creations by accepting your unique role in creative process and choosing co-creators that see and respect your truth. Your Presence is the best gift you can offer to humanity in these amazing times of rapid transformation. It is also the most important parenting goal – to model how to be an authentic presence in your world for your children. Shifting from co-dependency to independency first and then finding your way back together as interdependent, cooperative, wise Beings that are present enough to see perfection in every unfolding moment and transparent enough to communicate their desires. The path out of the misery into authentic relationship is through open recognition and articulation of your needs and understanding how you can support each other while loving and supporting yourself 100%.  This is the only way you can celebrate each other truth and personal growth without any attachment to the story of how this process should be happening because it is happening exactly the way you are creating it together.

Mastering the Energetics of Love starts from finding your younger selves lost in time and bringing them back home to the Love that you are. Make it real. Make it material. Make it yours. Choose to focus this month on shifting from dreaming and hoping into living in the Fairyland where your needs are taken care of and your desires count. Focus on shifting from illusions that create disappointments, bitterness, anger, frustration, and isolation to awareness of your knowing and oneness with creative power. You are the Key to transmuting your personal and family Karma. You can become a role model of what you were always dreaming about and make it happen today.

Homework for Grown-ups

  1. Make a list of what you need, want and strongly desire in your relationship or in life in general. Then go through your list one thing at a time and complete the need or experience in a way that satisfies you 100%.

There will be items on your list that could be simply purchased or easily experienced. Please do it right away. No excuses. No settling. Just go for it!

You’ve been waiting for this for a long time. It is your day and you are allowed. You have been giving, and giving, and giving. It is your time to give it to yourself and know how it feels to receive what you want when you want it.

There may be needs and desires that would take some effort to take care of. No worries! Just remember that your mind is a great tool to create and experience anything you want in the present moment. In fact, your body does not know the difference between the fantasy and reality. This is what some relationships are all about – ignoring the real and living in the fantasy world, hoping it will all change some day. Well, you can change it right now. The experience of having what you want will change you forever.

  1. If you need to talk to someone or create an experience with someone who is not physically present or available, create a special safe comfortable space in your mind. Invite this person to share this space with you for your conversation of experience. Create a mental picture of what you would like to see happen in this interaction. Add as many details as you can to make it real, involving as many senses as you can to feel it happening. Once you have all that you want present and experienced, choose the colors from your quantum experience to integrate this new reality into your inner album.

The colors represent emotional frequencies and your body will benefit from all the colors that may show up in your experience.  You may see them, feel them or just know what colors you may want to choose. Every time the color shows up for you it has a different quality and vibrancy, so this easy format will allow you to download a spectrum of supporting frequencies that are missing in your radiant aura. This in turn will create a new attraction field that is a vibrational match to your desired experiences and the level of fulfillment you are looking for.

  1. Find Simplicity and Quintessence in every Complexity you’ve created in order to feel loved and accepted. Orient yourself to finding what Being YOU means to you.
  2. Create the space and time to experience the truth of your desires and look for making your life bigger and more fulfilling.

You are big, powerful, and you are important. Allow the Freshness, the Innocence, and the Authenticity to be your guardian angels every time you speak. Allow the Exquisiteness of your Presence to anticipate things into existence while being detached from any particular outcome. Celebrate every moment of your process and allow your partners to celebrate theirs.

New Human Energetics – Becoming the Bridge between Heaven and Earth

June 23rd, 2010

This Solstice energy is incredible. I had to postpone my article for Lightworker.com in order to digest and share the download I’ve received through the energetic mail. So here it is, hot from the Angelic press.

The day before Solstice I woke up with an amazing vision. I saw a beautiful crystalline Christ Consciousness grid surrounding our planet and floating its light right into the antennas extending from the planet Earth. When I look closer, I realized that I was seeing myriads of people channeling light and love between the Heaven and Earth, being conduits of energy and information exchange that was happening at that moment. Each person seemed to be radiating, glowing, and expanding. Yet, everyone appeared very connected to the planet and grounded. Then my attention was drawn to the individuals. Looking closer and closer, my awareness expanded into the center of one person’s body. Right at that moment I became aware of the reason for my vision being so magnificent and so radiant.

At the center of each person’s torso I saw a shimmering miniature blue Earth surrounded by Golden Glow of the Soul energy. Every person in this vision had a baby Earth inside their Solar Plexus. It felt like humanity was pregnant with the New Earth. Everyone became a mother-father unity, carrying this child of Unconditional Love.

I experienced a feeling of a strong collective bond growing between the crystalline Grid and the Earth as the waves of excitement and determination that unified everyone involved in this co- creation went through my body.

As I opened my eyes, I felt a huge spin and warmth moving through my 3rd chakra as the download of the bigger picture was continued and I begin to hear the words:
“Honor Thyself as You Honor thy Mother and Father”, Honor Thyself as You Honor Thy Neighbor”, “Honor Your Heart Desires as You Honor Desires of Other”.

As I continued hearing these words, I realized that this download was part of the huge mutation that is taking place right now. Just recently I’ve attended Jim Self’s amazing weekend in Reno. As we were witnessing Archangel Metatron’s and Archangel Michael’s Life Channels, we were given the task to activate and sustain the new chakra system within our physical form. We were asked to become a bridge between 3 dimensional physical world and other realities and dimensions. The Solar Plexus was used as a grounding point for this new Energy System and our awareness of how we impact the world with our relationship to ourselves became even more evident.

The old traditional 7 Chakra System was given to us as a navigational tool, a personal routing system for our Spirit to navigate the physical reality. It meant to provide a practical guidance and help our Soul remain aware of the Energy flow in the density and duality of the 3D world. Being in a small child’s body, vulnerable and exposed to all kinds of dualistic experiences, we learned to defend ourselves by fighting, hiding, escaping, and manipulating people and environments. Our 7 Intuitive Guides on a path of evolution, exploration and compassion mutated into 7 Sacred Layers of Protection. We learned to use them to survive, fight for love and power, feel other people’s emotions, control the outcome and try to explain what is unexplainable. This practice takes us out of alignment with the energy, guidance, and Source. In this short video clip I am sharing the energy and information of this Solstice download because I really want to give you this download personally. I hope this video connection will allow you to enter the stream of consciousness that I am sharing.

The Shift is happening and it is happening now. You can feel it in your every day life, relationships, and opportunities that present themselves as your Life Work. You may be noticing that anything that has no substance or true meaning in your life is falling apart, including your closest relationships. You may even notice how explosive and intolerant you are about something that did not bother you that much before. These states are the signs of the new 5D energy moving through you, looking for the opening in your system while old defense mechanism is trying to scream, run, fight or hide from it.

The Shift we experience is all about changing the way we fuel and run our physical bodies. It is about opening to the 5D sources of energy and information and aligning your physical form with this new fuel. In a way we are getting an upgrade: the old, not working parts of our life are about to experience a major renovation or to go to the junk yard.

The major issues of our misalignment are created by:
1.    Our need to look for love, approval, or need satisfaction outside of ourselves. It makes our relationships look like a battle field as we create a swing between the conflict and its resolution via sex, gifts, or even forgiveness. This old model is based on our need to know that we are loved through analyzing the feeling of others instead of looking into the issue of your self worth.
2.    Our need to have things work our way that creates a lot of emotional turmoil and dissatisfaction. We become addictive to triggers and emotional energy of human drama that is being imprinted, internalized and dealt with using personal defense system formed between ages of 0 and 7 years old. This defense system continues to support our conditioned responses that often undermine our desire to improve our relationships.
3.    Our fear of not being able to survive the intensity of our interactions. We are conditioned to honor others before we honor our own needs and heart desires. Honoring yourself becomes one of the major tasks as the NEW Earth is being born in your Solar Plexus and NEW Human Energetics are grounded within your continuously upgraded physical form.

Learning to communicate clearly from the inner certainty, strength and wisdom will help you share your emotional clarity and peace with others. Talking from the place of deep respect of your own truth create s the openness and helps others to share their truth and process of ascension.

The Solstice energy is the time to plant seeds of your consciousness for the next few months to come. Every connection you make, be it in a marriage, within parent/child interactions, or as romantic or business relation, is a mirror of your inside world.
I invite you to notice if you ever dishonor yourself in order to receive love, fix or protect someone. I also invite you to point your attention toward yourself and look for every opportunity to honor your heart desires and act on your intuitive knowing about what is right for you. The Shift is happening and it is happening in your Solar Plexus! The time to honor yourself as the King and the Queen of your own Universe has come. I invite you to transform the seat of your Soul into a Solar Throne and honor your commitment and creative power to make your relationships with yourself and others work for YOU.

May your Soul Journey be supported and nurtured by this short video clip about my Solstice Vision.
