It's Almost Official!

It looks like I may have a business up and running in the very near future!

In the last few days, I have been in negotiations with a friend of mine who is selling a wavemaker. This scenario pretty much never happens, so I'm taking it as a sign that I need to jump on it, and get started! There are a lot of emotions running through me when I think of how long I have waited for this opportunity to work in the holistic field as my OWN BOSS!!!!! Definitely excitement, but a lot of nervousness, as I know that my life will change in a big way! 

Looks like I will need to jump on the wavemaker before I scour the world for my new clients...

Limiting Self Expression and the Throat Chakra

The idea of 7 Steps of the Soul came about because I wanted to create a business centered around the understanding that everything is energy. And we can remove barriers to growing by dissolving "stuck" energies that are in the way. Part of those energies are the 7 chakras of our being. Those energies can spin too fast or slow, causing us to be off-balanced, and sometimes risk emotional and physical consequences. With 7 Steps of the Soul, I plan to work with people in many ways, but ultimately balancing out the 7 chakra system in our body, causing a more harmonious existence.

If I'm going to work with other people, you bet your ass I have to do this work on myself first. The chakra that I have always had the most trouble with has been the throat chakra. If you have any knowledge of the 12 Core Dynamics which describes our layers of conditioning, the unbalanced throat chakra is closely related to Limiting Self Expression. I have spent much of my life playing it "safe", to make people happy and not stir the pot. For some reason, I never felt worth it enough to express myself without any inhibition. With much work around this, I have come far, but still struggle from time to time. This blog is a great exercise for someone worried about what others think!!! And it doesn't seem to be a coincidence that the first moment I get sick, it goes straight to my throat. Interesting, yet very telling...

Let this be a reminder to say what you are feeling as often as you can, make decisions without thinking about who will not like it, and to live for yourself as much as possible. And if you find yourself having trouble, at least be conscious that this is something that needs to be worked on...you do deserve it.

Gangy Goes Wavemaker

Wow...what a weekend. Andrea has been my best friend for much longer than half of my life, but has just now jumped on the conscious energy bus! For some reason this visit was different than usual, and I am not sure why, but I didn't realize how happy I would be to have her fully understand what I'm striving to do, and put it in to her daily life! 

It seemed like the theme for this weekend was doing work on "Being Judgmental". It's never really easy for people to grasp the idea that every time they judge someone, there is a mirror there for something they are not liking to see in themselves. Once you understand the concept though, picking up how often we do it and why becomes simple and so beneficial to taking a good look at yourself. 

One of my greatest judgments is still that extremely wealthy people are unspiritual. I mean, how can you just spend ridiculous amounts of money on cars, or eat every night at a steakhouse where a side of asparagus is $13.00? I have worked on this judgment for a long time, but it still seems to linger every once in a while. I have done an enormous amount of work on this, and I now know that I use this way of thinking to attack wealthy people because they mirror in me that I don't have that kind of money. And I have extreme jealousy that they can spend money on  anything they want while I still struggle and have to pick and choose what I will buy. True is, I would LOVE that money!!! I wouldn't spend it on cars or steakhouses, but definitely a beach house and sushi! And I would still be spiritual...

So, to sum up being judgmental, it is always easy to put blame on someone else so you don't have to look at yourself. But it is a much more beneficial practice to examine your judgments and then work on yourself. You see, if I keep this judgment, then why would my energy ever attract any kind of wealth? It will never! So being judgmental can be a beautiful gift to understanding your own insecurities! I recommend everyone take some time in the day to examine their judgments, and use them to grow!
