In turbulent times we ask ourselves if we can stay present, make good choices and feel free. We may find ourselves struggling, feeling angry, scared, stressed and powerless in the midst of it all. We understand the concept of breakdown/breakthrough yet sometimes find it challenging to stay fully present through the ups and downs. We dream about freedom, talk about it, have fleeting moments of it but are not sure how to make it a sustainable experience. We ask ourselves if freedom is it even possible?

At the same time science is proving the oneness of us all, that we are not separate from anyone, anything or our source. There is the growing awareness that what we experience on our inside is affecting everything we experience on the outside. We are coming to realize that we are shaping our lives by how we think, feel and behave. We are also learning that all the insights, resolutions and answers we want are available to us when we stay connected with ourselves and source. What if we knew that what we are cultivating on the inside is what we are realizing on our outside? What if we knew that freedom is not dependent on anyone or anything on the outside? Take a deep breath and ask the powerful question what is the nature of experiencing freedom from my inside out?

Freedom from the inside out is NOT about looking for a way out or trying to fix ourselves. It is an undoing while engaging in empowering ways to live our lives. It is not about needing to be happy or in a state of equanimity at all times. It is about knowing that we can always choose to make a shift. It is not about trying to get perfect, right and done nor focusing on what seems wrong with us and trying to fix it.

Freedom from the inside out IS about knowing that the relationship we cultivate on our inside is being realized on our outside. it takes the courage to do what many people are not even willing to talk about for fear that that their lives will fall apart. It is about letting go of the patterns of tension and constriction that we use to hold back. It is about awareness of our perspectives, thoughts and emotions as we learn to embrace, interact and release them. It is the willingness to keep our energy in motion as we practice new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. It requires letting go of having a certain outcome, trusting that the most beneficial experiences will manifest in all their perfect ways. It is about seeking and discovering the easiest and most fun ways to dissolve, resolve and evolve whatever is holding us back.

We are coming to realize that the more responsibility we take the more freedom is available to us. We recognize that everything appearing in our lives is happening in it’s perfect timing. We realize that our wants and needs are part of the pulse of evolution that is propelling us forward. We know that our source wants the very best for us and is guiding our lives. We begin to see ourselves in new and expanding ways while empowered to share our gifts. We recognize that we are being a catalyst for the changes we want to see in our world. Once we get the hang of how this works it propels us to move forward and never go back!

A value process for connecting with ourselves…

Gather four pillows. Designate each pillow as a specific aspect of yourself. One pillow for the aspect that guides you. The remaining pillows represent emotions, heart and body. Begin a dialogue with each aspect. You may  find that your emotions are angry about how often you avoid, deny and control them. They may want to scream, cry and hit the pillow in anger about feeling abandoned, imprisoned and denied by you. You can respond by telling them your side of the story. Continue interacting, feeling and expressing.  Let each aspect interact and express in a similar way. Allow them to know the changes you will make.

As your own best guide you are empowering yourself to see the internal environment you have been creating. With a new sense of clarity you can guide all aspects of yourself in a new and expansive way. You can engage in creating safety, unconditional love and freedom from your inside out.

Everything becomes a map to freedom, with wonderful gifts that can guide you.

To your freedom,

People ask me, “How do I let go of the guilt I have?”

I say, “Well, first describe to me what guilt is for you.

”They say: “Guilt is doing something wrong.”

 I say:  “Doing something wrong is a behavior, right?”

They say:  “Yes.'”

I say:  “Okay, now describe how guilt feels to you.”

They say:  “It’s a mucky feeling in my gut”

I say:  “Describe the feeling,”

They say: “Tight, stuck and miserable.”

I say: “Point to where you feel it the most.”

They say:  “Right here.”

I say :  “How did it get there?”

They say:  “I guess, I put it there.”

I say: “How?”

They say:  “Tightening up around my chest and stomach.”

I say: “And then what happens when you’re tight and constricted inside?”

They say:  “I feel terrible”

I say:  “Is feeling terrible something you deserve? Is it a punishment for something you did?”

They say: “Yes, I hadn’t thought of it that way.”

I say:  “Would you rather be feeling miserable and guilty…or  creating resolution?”

They say: “ Resolution of course! But how do I get rid of that terrible feeling of guilt?”

I say:  First of all, trying to “get rid of” it doesn’t work.

What does work is…

• Admit and greet the guilt.
• Embrace it.
• Breathe into it.
• Talk to it.
• Move and circulate the energy in and out of it.
• Vibrate into it.
• Let it know you won’t abandon it.
• Let it talk to you, and keep conversation going back and forth between you and your guilt.
• Express and feel the guilt…
• Let any shame vibrate and move through you.
• Let it move and circulate.
• Be willing…
• Let go of  holding on inside.
• Allow the guilt to dissolve, resolve and evolve.
• Be willing…
• Freedom is closer than you think! 

Admitting and feeling the guilt can be overwhelming at first…

and if you’re willing to embrace, vibrate and stay with the feeling

 all the way through…

I guarantee you’ll  find a loving, forgiving place inside.

Suddenly you’ll remember you’re a loving person, ready to learn from your experience.  

You will have literally let go of the holding back…

and are ready to apologize to yourself, and whoever else is involved.. (either in person or telepathically.

THE GOOD NEWS IS:  

The part of you that was holding guilt in place…

is free now…

Free to be the part of you who reminds you…

to accept, love and embrace all your experiences,

no matter what the evidence.

To embracing guilt and setting yourself free.

“Resisto” is an endearing name the children in my life used for describing resistance to the love and fun that’s always available in any given moment.

The image to the right is from a children’s manual

I made for a 2 day children’s experience where

the children were introduced to “resisto”.

They giggled and easily understood who he was.

Have you ever noticed yourself resisting love?

Have you ever wondered if resisting love is inherent in the human condition?

Is resisting love, “just how life is”?

Good questions!

Some deeper questions might be:

• How am I selecting situations perpetuating resistance to love?
• How am I distorting things to prove it’s not safe t0 open to love?
• How am provoking the people in my life so they avoid loving me ?

Allowing love seems to be a challenge we all face at one time or another. 

Have you ever found yourself :

• Wallowing in self pity because someone isn’t loving you the way you think they should?
• Wondering why others seem to be getting all the love and you aren’t?
• Complaining, criticizing, shaming, guilt tripping, and not loving yourself?
• Wishing that you lived in a more loving home situation?
• Wanting to be part of a more loving world?

Well, I’ve spent plenty of time doing that and things changed

one day when I heard someone say,

“Why would anyone love you, if you aren’t  loving yourself?”

I thought to myself, “Good point!”

I immediately remembered how much I whined and fussed

about not having the love  I said I wanted.

Dang, I was blaming everyone on the outside

when it was really an inside job!

Needless to say, a passion was ignited in me to

discover how I could truly love myself, no matter what the evidence.

It was then that I made the decision to

accomplish what seemed like an almost impossible feat for me,

letting go of resistance to loving myself.

You may be wondering what I mean by “sustainable people.”

The definition of “sustainabe” in Wikipedia includes:

• “The capacity to endure.”
• “How biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. For humans it’s the potential for long term maintenance of well being, which in turn depends on the maintenance of the natural world and natural resources.”

With everything we’re hearing about the need to support the sustainability of our planet, I rarely hear about how we can cultivate a sustainability that radiates from our insides out. 

From my perspective, sustainability begins within each one of us, and if you really want to restore the sustainability of our planet, you need to look at how to be sustainable from your inside out.

 If you’re still wondering what I’m talking about, or wondering how to do it, start by asking yourself the following questions:

(1) How am I treating my planet in the very same way that I am treating myself?

• How am I exhausting the resources of my body?
• How am polluting myself?
• How am I ignoring my own wants and needs?
• How am I using myself like a machine that I will take care of sometime in the future? 

(2) Am I being part of the resolution or am I part of the problem?

• Am I someone who makes a problem out of the solution?
• Am I bringing resolution to the relationship I have with myself, or am I pushing my issues out and pointing my fingers at other people?
• Am I asking how I can be part of the resolution, or do I use problems to drain my energy and the energy of the people around me?

 (3) Am I remembering that I have nucleus effect? That the choices that I make my choices have effect on everyone and everything around me? 

• Am I taking 100% responsibility for the issues in my life, and issues I see in the world?
• Am I making choices for myself that support my experience of sustainable health, sustainable relationship and sustainable abundance?
• Am I willing to observe myself and the others around me to acknowledge the effect that I am having on myself and others?

(4)  Am I willing to ask myself these following two questions and allow myself to listen for the answers?

• What is the nature of experiencing sustainability from my inside out?

• What is the nature of experiencing sustainability as an integral way of life in the world?

Becoming a sustainable person requires:

• Embracing sustainability as a natural aspect of your being, and the world around you.
• Renewing your energy by staying rested and using our personal energy wisely.
• Giving your body what it needs, including  food, water, air and movement.
• Listening to your emotions and not pushing them away to “get things done”.
• Following your heart and doing the things that you love.
• Allowing the bodily felt sense of love to move through you.
• Connecting with yourself and the mysteries of life.
• Taking quiet meditative time to listen to your inherent knowledge, and allowing it to guide you in being sustainable from your inside out.
• Being present for the opportunities that are yours to be part of the resolution

These are the kinds of questions that lead to a sustainable kind of wellness, a whole being wellness that allows you to feel  connected, energized, empowered and free. 

To being part of the resolution,
