Independence- The Achy Dark Side

Tools for Thriving 2016

The Achy Dark Side of Independence

We’re trained to think of ourselves as independent maybe even “rugged individuals”. We can do it on our own.

The positive aspect of our independence is that we can empower choices to break free from situations, people and environments that are binding us into a smallness that’s hard on our hearts. In millions of ways, the dominant culture all around us encourages the idea of our independent separateness.

Think of the models of heroines and heroes that you know. They all chose to bring forth change from a position of independent knowing. They acted on what they felt they must for the benefit of many. This is the upside of choices made from a place of individual, independent being. After all, no one wants to be a slave to anything.

And yet, what is the actual source of their heroic energy?

The source is their sacred union with the vast divine (or God, Yahweh, Spirit, the Sacred, Oneness, the Christ, the Quantum Field, you pick) that we are and surrounds us right now.

The achy dark side of independence is when we think we can do it on our own and separate ourselves from Source. It points to a greater wisdom that keeps calling us to sacred unity and wholeness.

…And yet we resist.

Resistance comes from the conflict inside us between the knowing we are part of something more vast and our conditioned ideas of “I am a strong independent person who can choose on their own.”

How do we eradicate this separation from source?

We first admit our willful separateness.  This begins the instantaneous alteration of our habits of thinking embedded in our minds and the miles of nervous system that run through our bodies.

Once you become conscious of this achy dark side of independence, you can be welcomed like the prodigal son or daughter coming to the home we all long to find and experience again.

Why is this so important?

When we live from a place of independence- “My Will” not “Thy Will” we cut ourselves off from a treasure chest of dynamic wisdom that can revolutionize every moment of our lives.

Reunion with our wholeness, our sacred union with the vast divine is required for transformative healing. The choice to reunite, to give up independent willfulness, produces an atomic delightful alteration of our total body.

Do not look away from the need to surrender your sense of independence. By Nature we are interdependent with one another and all of the life that surrounds us.

You can allow greater access, greater love too flow towards you by bringing down your boundaries of individualism. Every human builds boundaries. It is part of the history of false independence. And no human makes it on their own.

Look back in your life and cross-reference everything you’ve planned or visioned in contrast to what the pure serendipity your life has brought you. Like us, you will find that choices made outside of all your “good plans” are what have brought joy, passion and an abundance of life. That history can remind you of a greater love that calls you to sacred reunion and that it’s okay to let go of independent and will-full behavior and thinking.

You know there is a home fire burning for you. The door is open and embracing love awaits your surrender and joyful reunion.

Love,

Susan and David

There Is A Switch Within You

Do you feel pregnant?

It doesn’t matter what gender you are. Spring is a time when Life wants to pop out. There is a switch with you to let out the life inside that is just waiting to burst forth.

It doesn’t matter what gender you are. Spring is a time when Life wants to pop out. It’s just waiting to burst forth.

What would you like to deliver for yourself into the world?

Much has been written about how to intend and manifest. A lot of which is really about demanding in contrast to allowing what needs to be.

Here’s a blessing to help you open to allowing what needs to be and trusting that you will be attended to in love, by love itself.

Blessing

You are alive today in this timeline so that you may claim as never before sovereignty and pure creative empowerment. You are surrounded by a cacophony, a noise barrage of information that tells you that you are a cog in a great machine in which you have no power.

That is not true. You can within your lifetime know directly that you are present to and alive within the current of life and love that goes beyond everything you have ever been trained into.

Flip the switch

There is a switch within you that you have laid your hand upon but been uncertain to throw. Be assured that your beloved allies and the love that truly surrounds you is just waiting for that tiny movement from your hand to throw the switch and break free from what has shackled you and held you trapped in ever looping time-warping storms from the past or predictable future that you don’t want to really live.

Your destiny can change to possibility RIGHT NOW by throwing the switch that will begin to break you free, to launch you away from what you know is dead and no longer enlivening you.

Your switch may be located in your solar plexus or perhaps on the back side of your heart. But it is there.

What are the magic words that will help your inner hand flip the switch?

They are “I will”.

That means you are willing to go beyond what you have believed yourself to be. To go beyond every single projection ever placed upon you. Those histories only exist within you in a tiny collection of brain cells and nerve endings.

Remember these old patterns will defend themselves and try to tell you that what you long for is impossible to achieve. None of that is true.

You are born to overcome any form of limitation that lives within you. When you say “I will” it is a form of invitation to your sacred nature to activate liberty that is mouth watering, soul tickling and fun.

Practice saying “I Will” as an invitation.

And know that you have thrown the switch so that your inner illumination can cancel the old dark memories that are but a tiny veil pretending to be Mt. Everest. And then see what glorious light filled life you give birth to in the world.

Thanks for journeying with us.

Reprogramming Understanding

Tools for Thriving

Reprogramming Understanding

Understanding in its purest form is a liberating energy. We’ve been trained to experience understanding in ways that keep us living in the comforts of habits that rub us raw.

Isn’t that amazing that our understanding can become conditioned to keep us boxed in.

We are designed to be ever expanding our comprehension of what life is and what we truly are. Some of the outrageous things that are happening in the world around us can be used to break us free from our self-limiting definition of understanding into a liberated life changing relationship to the sacredness of the word.

Understanding is the bridge that our wisdom flows across.

Each of us has a wisdom bank waiting to be turned on in a greater way. We can bring forth a brightness so that we can see, feel and know in new ways what is going on around us and within us.

We even know where the on switch is for our luminous wisdom. Why would we not always turn that switch on?

Once turned on the Light we are will show us what is too small to live in and what wide open path is calling us. Change will naturally occur as we claim freedom, true freedom in ever-greater ways.

Sometimes we keep the light of our wisdom turned off so we can maintain old-fashioned comforts that are in fact worn out and wearing us out. Understanding in ever-new ways keeps us fresh and enables the true nutrition of our wisdom to come present in our bodies and minds.

Today notice how many times you think the word ‘understanding’ or say, “I Understand”.

Ask yourself, am I understanding in new ways or old ways.

Notice what new actions are called for and where your heart is moved to go.

Allow your habits of understanding to become refreshed and updated to ‘Now’.

Keep the word understanding alive, not a habit that shrinks you.

The gift is that you will leave behind what has confined you. We invite you to risk who you think you are, who you think you understand yourself to be and the light of your wisdom will grow you as never before.

Thanks for journeying with us.

We’d love to hear from you below.

Love, David and Susan

Stop Waiting

Stop Waiting

There is an epidemic of waiting.

As you’re reading this, see if you can notice what you are waiting for. How many layers of waiting are running inside you right now?

Waiting takes so many forms that unless we really take time to notice how we are spending ourselves in waiting we can end up living a whole life waiting to live.

Yearning for Sacred Integrity?

Do you feel as if much of your life is filled with activities that don’t match the depths of your true nature?

Are there times when you feel as if you have walked away from yourself and towards something that was not true?

During our journey this summer in the US and Canada and now back home in Mexico we continue to notice that many of us are yearning to live more impeccably in our own sacred integrity.

 

Recently a client broke away from the habitual expressions that were holding her back:

“I decided to work with David and Susan due to constant pain in my hip that had appeared 10 months prior.  I previously sought out two doctors, stretching and physical therapy and nothing seemed to work.I would have to say that I got so much more than I anticipated in my work with Wisdom Rx. I had a team cheering me on, pointing out my brilliance, supporting me in big decisions and offering their unconditional love, every step of the way 

I learned a new way of seeing and will continue to challenge my perception of things moving forward.  And I learned to honor so much more of myself, my process and my life through their guidance.

Early in our work, I asked for “more movement”. Within a month my life totally changed and I am now creating a new business.  I am steeped in excitement and positivity having let go of fear in a very big and life-changing way.  David and Susan helped support that transition and my way of viewing myself in the world.  And my hip pain totally disappeared with that transition.”  J.M. New Jersey

In listening to the wisest part of our being we can ask for direction, information and new understanding in all aspects of our lives.

Our friend, Leo Sofer** the intuitive storyteller, that we introduced you to this spring wrote:

“So much of our modern existence keeps us busy with things that do not bear any relationship to our depths. So we slowly lose touch with the one thing that we yearn for more than anything else.”

In a beautiful audio story with music, he tells a story called Queen of the Sea based on the work of Wisdom Rx. It is a story that gets to the heart and soul of the experiences our client expressed.

We want to share his blog and audio story so you can feel your sacred integrity reflected in it. We hope it will help you connect more to your own true nature.

Take a half hour and feel yourself as never before.

A Blessing from Portland

Sometimes there is a story that must be told.

Each one of you carries a story you are telling yourselves. There is a time in the world and it is now when you have a choice. You can decide to keep the same story going or you can end it. You can close the chapter and know that you will not be abandoned. You will not be left behind.

Whatever beliefs you have that call you to be a survivor will end if you let yourself trust, yes trust, that you know beyond the reasoned conditioning of your mind that you are made of something greater than you have been told.

How do you do this?
