90% Of Our Success Can be Limited By Trauma 02/28/2024

90% Of Our Success Can be Limited By Trauma Trauma, often lurking in the depths of our subconscious mind, acts as a formidable barrier to our success and well-being. It erects a screen saver, a shield of sorts, that tells us we are no longer safe to take risks or protect ourselves. Despite the integral role of risk in personal growth, we find ourselves paralyzed by resistance, trapped in a cycle of fear and helplessness. This inner turmoil manifests in various ways. We may fear appearing weak or vulnerable, so we resort to procrastination, self-sabotage, or negative coping mechanisms aimed at numbing the discomfort that accompanies our pain. These behaviors, though seemingly protective, only serve to perpetuate the magnetic energy of trauma within us, keeping us bound in its grip. But there is hope. By implementing therapeutic principles, we can begin to dismantle the barriers that trauma has erected and pave the way for healing and transformation. Rule #1: Calm Yourself Through Breath The breath, a powerful tool for regulating our nervous system, holds the key to calming the storm within. Long, slow breaths signal to our fear-driven brain to relax, lowering heart rate, respiration, body temperature, and anxiety levels. Through conscious breathing, we can anchor ourselves in the present moment, cultivating a sense of peace and stability amidst the chaos. Rule #2: Ground Yourself Through Sensory Awareness Grounding techniques, rooted in mindfulness and sensory awareness, enable us to reconnect with the present moment and anchor ourselves in reality. By paying attention to the sensations in our body—what we see, hear, smell, taste, and feel—we shift our focus away from the tumult of our emotions and into the realm of the here and now. This shift activates our neocortex, the seat of rational thought and problem-solving, allowing us to gain perspective and distance from our overwhelming feelings. The Science Behind It: The process of identification, or naming our emotions, is a function of the neocortex. When we find ourselves caught up in the throes of intense emotions, we are operating from the middle brain, where instinct and survival mechanisms reign supreme. By learning to shift our attention to the frontal brain, we create a cognitive separation from our emotional experiences, empowering us to navigate them with greater clarity and resilience. Rule #3: Acknowledge and Explore Your Feelings Acknowledging our feelings is the first step towards understanding and healing them. Take note of when and where certain emotions arise in your life, and explore the underlying meaning and significance behind them. By shining a light on our emotional landscape, we gain insight into the patterns and triggers that perpetuate our trauma, paving the way for deeper healing and self-discovery. In conclusion, while trauma may cast a long shadow over our lives, it need not define our destiny. Through intentional practice, self-awareness, and compassion, we can begin to dismantle the barriers that hold us back and reclaim our innate capacity for growth, resilience, and inner peace. **Adele Anderson: Empowerment Speaker and Grief Resilience Expert** Adele Anderson, an NLP Trainer, Homeopath, and Life and Death Coach, is a captivating speaker and grief resilience expert with a unique perspective on navigating profound loss.

Embracing Brokenness: The Journey of Recovery and Resilience 02/21/2024

Embracing Brokenness: The Journey of Recovery and Resilience In the tapestry of life, threads of brokenness often weave through the fabric of our existence. We encounter moments of vulnerability, moments where the weight of despair threatens to shroud us in darkness. Yet, within these fractures, lies an undeniable beauty waiting to be discovered—a beauty that emerges from the depths of our struggles, illuminating the path toward healing and hope. Recovery, in its essence, is a journey of resilience—a testament to the remarkable capacity of the human spirit to mend and grow, even amidst the shattered fragments of our lives. It is a journey marked by grace, kindness, and compassion, where each step forward is a triumph of the soul over adversity. At times, the road to recovery may seem daunting, veiled in uncertainty and fear. We may find ourselves grappling with wounds that run deep, wounds that threaten to define us. Yet, it is precisely in these moments of brokenness that we unearth our true strength—the strength to confront our vulnerabilities with courage and resilience. For it is in our vulnerabilities that we find the raw essence of our humanity—the tender whispers of our hearts, longing to be heard and understood. It is in our brokenness that we discover the power of vulnerability—the power to connect deeply with ourselves and with others, forging bonds of empathy and understanding that transcend the barriers of pain and suffering. In the depths of despair, hope flickers like a gentle flame, illuminating the darkness that surrounds us. It is a beacon of light, guiding us toward the promise of a brighter tomorrow—a tomorrow filled with possibility, resilience, and renewed purpose. Each day, as we take small steps forward on the path of recovery, we bear witness to the transformative power of grace and compassion. We extend kindness to ourselves and to others, embracing our imperfections with a sense of acceptance and understanding. We recognize that healing is not a linear journey, but rather a meandering path filled with twists and turns, ebbs and flows. In the embrace of community and connection, we find solace and strength—a reminder that we are not alone in our struggles, that our stories are woven together in a tapestry of shared humanity. It is through our collective resilience that we find the courage to confront our demons, to embrace our vulnerabilities, and to emerge from the depths of despair, stronger and more resilient than before. As we journey onward, may we hold onto the beauty of our brokenness—the beauty that lies in our capacity to heal, to grow, and to flourish in the face of adversity. May we find strength in vulnerability, courage in compassion, and hope in the boundless possibilities that await us on the horizon. For in the tapestry of life, it is often the threads of brokenness that shine the brightest, illuminating the path toward wholeness, healing, and grace. **Adele Anderson: Empowerment Speaker and Grief Resilience Expert** Adele Anderson, an NLP Trainer, Homeopath, and Life and Death Coach, is a captivating speaker and grief resilience expert with a unique perspective on navigating profound loss.

Through a comprehensive exploration of grief, overwhelm, and worry, we uncover invaluable insights into the human experience and discover powerful coping mechanisms to navigate through difficult times. Grief, characterized by feelings of profound sadness, loss, and longing, is a universal emotion that touches us all at some point in our lives. From the depths of emotional pain to the numbness of detachment, we explore the myriad facets of grief and the ways in which it manifests in our lives. Through heartfelt discussions and personal anecdotes, we shed light on positive coping mechanisms such as seeking support, allowing ourselves to feel and express emotions, and finding solace in rituals and creative expression. But grief is not the only emotion we encounter on our journey. Overwhelm, with its sense of emotional and mental overload, presents its own set of challenges. From difficulty concentrating to physical symptoms of tension and fatigue, overwhelm can leave us feeling out of control and anxious. Yet, within the chaos, there lies the potential for growth and resilience. By breaking tasks into manageable steps, setting boundaries, and practicing self-care, we can find our way back to a place of balance and calm. And then there is worry, the relentless companion to overwhelm. As a thinking mechanism rooted in anticipation and fear, worry can hijack our thoughts and lead to increased anxiety and stress. Yet, by practicing mindfulness, challenging negative thoughts, and engaging in problem-solving strategies, we can learn to quiet the noise and find peace in the present moment. Join us on this transformative journey as we uncover the power of emotional resilience, the beauty of human connection, and the light that shines even in the darkest of times.

Aviate - Acknowledge the Emptiness:** Just as a pilot must maintain control of the aircraft despite turbulence, in grief recovery, In the early days of grief, the weight of loss can feel suffocating, as if the very air we breathe has abandoned us. It's as though our emotional landscape has been stripped bare, leaving us suspended in an empty void where even drawing a breath feels like an impossible task. Maybe we feel unsteady, as if our feet see now ground below. In acknowledging this profound emptiness, we find ourselves confronting the raw reality of our sorrow. Much like a pilot steadying an aircraft amidst turbulence, stabilizing our emotional plane becomes a crucial act of self-compassion.

Yet, amidst the tumult, it's essential to recognize that these memories also hold the power to be our guiding lights, our compasses through the storms of sorrow.

Effective Grief Communication Strategies, Preparedness Over Scaredness, Curiosity Over Questions With Adele Anderson 01/31/2024

Effective Grief Communication Strategies, Preparedness Over Scaredness, Curiosity Over Questions With Adele Anderson The way we communicate with someone who is grieving can significantly impact their experience. Not always asking direct questions but offering support through statements aligns with effective communication strategies in grief support. 1. **Avoiding Direct Questions:** Many people, when faced with grief, find it challenging to express their emotions in response to direct questions like "Are you okay?" While the intention behind such questions is often genuine concern, it can be overwhelming for the grieving person. They may not want to burden others with their pain or may find it difficult to articulate their feelings in the moment. Research in grief psychology suggests that open-ended statements, like the one you mentioned, can create a more comfortable space for the grieving person to share when they are ready. 2. **Expressing Thoughtfulness:** Saying, "I've been thinking about you, so wanted to reach out to say hello," communicates care and thoughtfulness without putting the grieving person on the spot. It acknowledges their presence in your thoughts and offers an invitation for them to share at their own pace. This approach is aligned with the concept of creating a supportive environment for the grieving individual to open up when they feel ready. 3. **The Impact of Empathy:** Empathy plays a crucial role in effective communication with someone who is grieving. Instead of focusing solely on their emotional state, express empathy by acknowledging the challenges they might be facing. Phrases like "I can't imagine what you're going through, but I'm here for you" convey support without requiring the grieving person to provide specific details. 4. **Studies on Communication in Grief:** Studies in grief communication have emphasized the importance of active listening and providing a non-judgmental space for the grieving person. A study published in the "Journal of Counseling Psychology" highlighted that expressions of empathy and understanding are more beneficial than probing questions. 5. **Non-Verbal Communication:** Beyond words, non-verbal communication is also crucial. Simple gestures like a gentle touch, maintaining eye contact, or offering a hug can convey support without the need for words. Non-verbal cues often speak louder than verbal expressions and can provide comfort to the grieving individual. In summary, your approach of reaching out without directly asking probing questions aligns with the principles of empathetic communication in grief. Creating a safe and supportive space allows the grieving person to share their feelings when they are ready, fostering a more meaningful and healing connection. Segment 2: The Power of Asking Questions One of the keys to unlocking new possibilities in our grief journey is by asking questions. Certainly, employing curious questions can be a powerful way to navigate conversations with someone experiencing loss. These questions are designed to show genuine interest, foster understanding, and open up avenues for the grieving person to share their feelings. Let's explore five curious questions that can facilitate meaningful conversations: 1. **Question of Reflection:** - "I've been thinking about you and wondering if there are any particular memories or moments that bring a sense of comfort or warmth when you think about your loved one. Would you be open to sharing any of those memories?" This question invites the grieving person to reflect on positive aspects of their relationship with the departed and provides an opportunity for them to share cherished memories. 2. **Question of Expression:** - "Everyone experiences grief differently, and I'm curious about how you've been expressing or coping with your emotions. Is there something that has been particularly helpful for you during this time?" This question encourages the grieving individual to express their emotions and share coping mechanisms, helping both parties understand the unique ways grief is being processed. 3. **Question of Support:** - "Navigating loss can be an emotional journey. Are there specific ways you find support or moments when you feel most supported by those around you? I'm interested in understanding how I can be there for you." This question demonstrates a genuine desire to provide support while recognizing that each person's needs may differ. It opens up a conversation about the type of support that would be most beneficial. 4. **Question of Remembrance:** - "Grief often brings a mix of emotions, and sometimes it's challenging to find the right balance between remembering and moving forward. Have there been moments where you found comfort in remembering your loved one, or is it a process you're still navigating?" This question acknowledges the complexities of the grieving process, encouraging the individual to share their experiences with remembering their loved one and finding a balance between honoring the past and moving forward. 5. **Question of Future Narratives:** - "As you navigate this journey of grief, have you discovered any unexpected sources of strength or resilience within yourself? I'm curious about the personal insights or changes in perspective that may have emerged." This question invites the grieving person to explore their personal growth during the grieving process, emphasizing the potential for resilience and strength that can arise from challenging circumstances. By incorporating these curious questions into conversations, we can create a supportive and understanding environment that allows the grieving person to share their experiences, emotions, and insights on their own terms. In speaking with many clients navigating their losses, I have noted a theme. Friends and family often struggle to communicate, and the griever finds themselves consoling others, rather than receiving the support. Segment 3: Surrendering to the Experience In Michael Singer's book, we find the idea of surrendering to the flow of life. How can we apply this principle to our grief? Surrendering doesn't mean giving up; it means letting go of resistance and allowing ourselves to be fully present in the experience. We'll delve into the transformative power of surrender and how it can bring a sense of peace amidst the storm of grief. As we wrap up this episode of Good Grief Relief, let's remember that preparedness, curiosity, and surrender are not just concepts but tools we can use to navigate the challenging terrain of grief. By embracing these principles, we open ourselves up to healing and growth. Thank you for joining us today on Good Grief Relief.

It emphasizes that growth is not a separate entity from pain but often a direct result of facing and navigating through difficult experiences. Understanding the Nature of Growth: Start by fostering an understanding that growth is a dynamic and ongoing process, and it often occurs in response to life's challenges. This perspective challenges the notion that growth is solely the product of positive experiences, highlighting that profound learning can emerge from the crucible of hardship. 1. Acknowledging the Complexity of Emotions: I encourage individuals to explore the complexity of their emotions during difficult times. By acknowledging the range of feelings, including pain, grief, anger, and fear, individuals can start to see these emotions as part of the learning process. Emotions, even the challenging ones, can be powerful catalysts for self-discovery and growth. 2. Extracting Wisdom from Experience: Reflect on the specific lessons learned during your darkest hours. This might involve understanding resilience, discovering inner strength, developing empathy, or gaining a new perspective on life. By extracting wisdom from the depths of experience, individuals can find meaning in your journey. 3. Embracing the Uncomfortable: Growth often requires stepping out of one's comfort zone and confronting discomfort. Just as a seed must crack open for a plant to emerge, you may need to face discomfort and pain to uncover new aspects of themselves. Encourage a mindset that sees discomfort as a gateway to your own evolution. 4. Cultivating Resilience: Resilience as the ability to bounce back from adversity. When we face life's darkest hours this can be an opportunity to cultivate and strengthen resilience. Resilience is not about avoiding pain but about developing the capacity to navigate through it with grace and adaptability. 5. Shifting Perspectives: I encourage a shift in perspective that views challenges as opportunities for growth rather than insurmountable obstacles. This reframing allows one to approach difficulties with a mindset that actively seeks to learn and extract meaning from the experience. 6. Finding Silver Linings: Identify silver linings or positive aspects that may have emerged from challenging situations. While it's essential to honor the pain, finding elements of positivity can contribute to a sense of hope and purpose. This doesn't negate the difficulty but provides balance to the narrative. 7. Highlighting Personal Evolution: I share a personal evolution and growth that have arisen from mine and others experiences with adversity. Real-life stories of individuals who have turned their pain into sources of strength, resilience, and wisdom can serve as powerful inspirations for those navigating their own dark hours. 8. Encouraging Self-Reflection: Foster a habit of self-reflection, so you can contemplate your experiences, emotions, and insights gained from challenging times. This ongoing reflection contributes to a continuous process of learning and growth, reinforcing the idea that growth is a journey, not a destination. 9. Valuing the Journey Itself: Remember life is a continual journey of growth amid life's darkest hours is as significant as the destination. It's not about reaching a point where all pain disappears but about evolving and adapting continuously. Encourage an appreciation for the resilience and wisdom gained throughout the journey. **Adele Anderson: Empowerment Speaker and Grief Resilience Expert** Adele Anderson, an NLP Trainer, Homeopath, and Life and Death Coach, is a captivating speaker and grief resilience expert with a unique perspective on navigating profound loss.

Allow your body the opportunity to heal by welcoming the positive emotions that a smile can bring.

Feel the tension ease, and watch as your blood pressure responds to the simplicity of a heartfelt, albeit gentle, smile. Increased Social Connection: In times of grief, the world may seem isolating. Yet, a smile is a universal language that transcends pain. It invites connection, reminding you that you are not alone. Share your smile, and let it be a bridge to the understanding and support you may need. My friends, in the tapestry of grief, where each thread tells a unique story, let your smiles weave moments of relief, healing, and connection.

Joy and Sorrow are linked like day and night, you can not experence one without the other 02/21/2022

Joy and Sorrow are linked like day and night, you can not experence one without the other There is an old Irish proverb that says, joy and sorrow are linked like day and night. You can not experience one without the other. And I know now that so often, things are not always what they seem, that there is more to our experience and more to this life that what appears at first glance. Mornings have long become a time for reflection, deep learning and meditation, along with strong coffee :) Today's book opened with Dr. David R Hawking talking about 50 years of clinical practice, and grief. Go figure <3 Hawking said there are very few catastrophic events in life that can be more overwhelming than losing a spouse, a parent or a child. The massive and intense overwhelm erupts along with shock, disbelief, abandonment, rage, guilt, self blame, anger, hopelessness, powerlessness, and the utter finality of loss. A little segway: I would like you to imagine that you planned all year for a trip to Hawaii, and when you arrived, it rained the entire time. Is it the fact that it rained, or the fact that you are upset about rain that made your experience? Or you went skiing and the snow was crappy. We could say oh well and carry on, or do we have emotions around the quality of the snow that affects your experience? Or the fact that we have an exam, and we are worried about the exam. So I ask you, is it the fact of the exam or the fact of the worry? Often the fact, or the event itself can not be changed. Rather it is the emotions that we have about the fact that cause us distress. We may not be able to change the fact, but we have control over the way we feel, and that changes HOW LONG and HOW HORRIBLE we feel. David says grief is so crushing because all the TOP OF LIFE stresses are COMBINED and therefore, it can feel catastrophic. And he cautions that we may try to “think” our way out of the grief, but because overwhelm and all the attached emotions are negative in nature, the solution will not come through the intellect. And the next thing he said, thus the segway, I had to really step back, because even though I understand the facts on a philosophical level, I found it harsh to think about it this way, for grief. But I repeat it again softly and gently and with a hand over my heart, because I can’t change the fact, so what do I do now? He says we can greatly shorten the time and relieve the catastrophic pain we feel, if we bi-pass the fact and heal the emotion. The lessons repeatedly turn to, the solutions to our pain will not be found, within the mind. He leads us deeper into the process. When we move our attention inward, we can locate the area where our body typically holds emotion. Where we feel it physically in our body. But then if we look beyond the label, we can begin to understand that it is simply trapped energy. Emotions like all things are energetic. And energy itself, can neither be created or destroyed, it simply changes form. And so we change the energy, which, without a label becomes generic, nameless. Without a label we can no longer embody it for long.. My experience was that I could not think, rationalize or will, my way out of grief. So, I used David's process, finding the location of the feelings, or the energy of the feeling of grief and all those combined emotions and just sat with the energy. And I agreed with myself to explore this energy in every aspect. We can do this by moving our attention inward. Note, this is not the emotion, this is the dissociative representation of the emotion and this is less painful. Find the shape, size, color, dimension, movement, temperature, texture, weight etc. and then I supersized it. Sounds odd, but this is a universal law of similar simalimbus, that I learned 30+ years ago. What is this law? Like Cures Like, or as it was first discovered centuries ago, similar simalimbus. This law as with all “universal laws” have stood the test of time and found in teachings from the beginning of time. Aristotle, Hippocrates, Paracelcus and many philosophers spoke of similar simalimbus. This is the fundamental practice in the development of anti-venom, in Homeopathy and now in emotional freedom to release blocked energy and regain inner peace. Hawkings repeats many lessons because we may; or at least I did; needed to hear it several times before completely understanding and accepting the reality. He goes on to say that our “experience” is several layers removed from the physical body. And if you recall earlier blogs. As we know through anesthesia and amputation, the body is insentient, the body can only be experienced through sensations, which sensations are incapable of understanding their feelingness, it is only through the mind, because we label it. However the mind itself is not capable of knowing it’s own experience, it is only through consciousness and then awareness that we truly understand. And so I followed his process and discovered that the label of the emotional feeling is quite diffuse as he described. I could not locate the feeling inside my mind. We rise up and out of the pain, through consciousness. And to deepen my consciousness I meditate. A practice that has become rich and rewarding and filled with relief and healing. I choose to give myself over to consciousness, where there is no pain. My mantra? I am a violet flame, an infinite being. And what if we could accept this too, would that change how we do everything?. As with any practice as we hone our skills, it becomes easier. So, within a few seconds of repeating and becoming mindful of my mantra, the following vision arose. Saturn-like rings spread outward from my third eye. Pulsing rings of mystical light moving concentrically outward and then a vertical pillar of light moved both upward and downward. Imagine Saturn with a central axis of light. A feeling of unconditional love began to permeate my body, so beautiful I could notice tears of joy gently rolling down my face. I noticed clear butterfly type winged beings descending on my left, within their own light field that appeared like an eye, with rays of light spreading over me. A still brighter light formed on my right and began to descend. The visions shift. Suddenly I am gliding slightly above and over an endless field of wildflowers with a mountain scape far in front. I appear in a flowing gown of gilded white and gold, and ankle length wavy blond hair that flows below a transparent butterfly-wing like cape. As I glide towards the mountain a gateway appears to open and this incredibly bright light spills through the opening that I have now entered. I am not alone, I know this energy. It is Willis beside me and I feel the warmth of his hand in mine. We are now far inside the light, I notice, I have come face to face with two galactic angelic beings. Very tall and thin, and I now appear to be smaller, childlike in size and age, and I know intuitively this first being must be one of my masters. I am not afraid, I feel loved and at peace here, as if this is so normal :) As the master stands in front of me, he reaches into my mind and like playing a harp inside my mind, he is filtering out stuck energy. This process continues through my mind and then throughout my body, and he simply releases the energy back into the universe, like blowing a feather from his palm. And then, fresh buoyant energy fills the space once more. I feel at ease. Relief. Love. And at that point, he leans inward, with loving gentle compassionate devotion, lifts my face with a single finger until our gazes meet, pearing deep into my eyes as if reading my soul, searching for any harmful energy that may have been missed. He seems satisfied. As he nods to the others, they open their hearts and this warm brilliant light is transported from their heart center into my soul. I open my arms and lift my face to the universal sky and just allow this light to fill up my soul. As I open my eyes, I observe a very large protective hand (reiki-like) that must have been present, guiding the entire process, holding a safe space. During this time, Willis must have stepped into the background, but now he has returned and we receive a gift. We are both lifted and cradled in heavenly hands where we rest together for some time Along with this last gift, my vision shifts once more. We are now on an expansive beach with white sand and softly breathing waves. This is so familiar, one of our favorite things to do and so this feels so rejuvenating. We seem to walk and talk for hours on this beach. As the sun begins to set, we come to the end of this beach and we embrace. I am filled with so much love that I feel tears once again running down my face. At 27 years old, Adele Anderson survived a plane crash. That near death and life experience changed Adele’s path and led her on a deeper journey of discovery so that she could help others. Little did she expect she would experience a significant loss later in life. Adele admits drowning in a capsized plane was easier than becoming a widow. Her grief from the loss of her life partner proved deafening, a deep wound that still weeps when the Band-Aid is pulled off, raw and tender when touched. Loss challenged every aspect of her life, but she did find relief through community, neuroscience, nutrition and by embodying a rich spiritual practice. Adele is an NLP Trainer, Homeopath and Soul Coach and has had the privilege of helping those seeking happiness since 2002. Along with being an author, Adele has been on countless stages sharing her messages of hope She knows that life always offers us more than what we see or believe is possible; even when we grieve. How do you find happiness when life doesn’t look so bright? Ask Adele, she will light the way.

How can we feel ok, after the wave of Grief can knock us sideways... again 02/11/2022

How can we feel ok, after the wave of Grief can knock us sideways... again I think I will hurt a little longer. I may need to cry that ocean of tears before I am fully healed. But I wanted to share a beautiful meditation with you this morning. Meditation has many values: offering us new perspective on stressful situations It is a life skill for reducing stress. Allows us to focus on the present and this is where we have control. The focus when we meditate should be positive, so this alone reduces negative feelings. It is said if we can focus our attention for 17 seconds, we begin to affect our physiology, and if we hold that same thought for 68 seconds, then we begin to build a neural pathway that increases our ability to pursue our focus. But di you know that meditation helps reduce stress, anxiety, and depression triggers? Why is that? Slowing our breath slows the heart and reduces blood pressure. And because we are adjusting our thoughts and training our brain to focus on a single thought of wellbeing. Meditation increases our ability to focus on a world that is fast paced in mini bites of information, Twitter, TikToc etc. These things train our brain NOT to focus, where the brains natural strength in to learn a subject in depth, to become the sage, the guru… Harvard Medical says meditation has a positive effect on our brain, we produce learn easier, have greater memory and emotional regulation, because meditation creates more gray matter. So, who couldn’t use more of all this amazing and natural benefits from children all the way through life? What a great life skill meditation offers us. Concentration, kindling kindness, and increased self esteem. We become more aware of ourselves as individuals. For our body, mindfulness in meditation raises our pain threshold, and is addiction resistant. For the creative soul, meditation gives us the opportunity to enter Theda brainwave: We natural pass-through Theda as we drift off to sleep and wake once more, but you may already know that Theda is our download brain wave. Children are in Theda for the first few years of life, and thus we hear those children are geniuses. Theda is a place of deep creativity, imagination, and accelerated learning. So, you can tell, I am a fan of meditation and I have concluded that meditation is a type of spiritual first aid. One way I am transforming my feelings of grief is to practice meditation. I set my timer for 15 minutes and settle into a comfortable position. Palms facing the sky and close my eyes. As I slow my breath and concentrate towards what it feels like to breath from the top of my head to toes externally and then repeat once more internally. Yesterday’s meditation focus was “I am a Violet flame, and infinite being” And as I held this thought in mind, my experience unfolded. I first noticed a small light orb several feet in front of my face, and as I help that single thought, it moved in a purposeful yet magical direction towards the area of my third eye. It seems to be drawn by threads of light and I could feel this pulling inward of this energy that I was watching. The orb settled inside my third eye and looked like an ember being kindled to flame which grew. A beautiful dancing violet flame with wispy feathered light moving upward. A stream of ethereal light rose out of the flame and wen far beyond where I could see or imagine and as that happened, the “I” in me travelled upward too, cocooned in this soft violet flame. At some point as I ascended, this wonderful angel like being arrived, I believe this was Willis as he approached me from behind, wrapping his gentle yet powerful and protective wings around me, as he leaned around my head and kissed me on my neck. As we embraced, we ascended together upward and into the light For those that have been to Nirvana/ heaven or the house of God, you will understand the overwhelming beautiful feeling of unconditional love that permeated all things here. I was then laid on a bed of white feather. (Possibly fallen angel wing feathers) And as I lay there, surrounds by so many loving beings of light, my heart center became like a sun. But in this case, the rays of sunlight were moving inward and filling in all the brokenness that was there. As my heart healed, I felt utterly calm, knowing that everything was perfect. Sadly my 15-minute timer snapped me back into today, but the feelings of wellbeing remained and that utter knowing that everything was ok just the way it is, today. For me meditation has become an integral piece to transforming my grief into deep personal growth. I have a deep desire to assist others through this life altering process and will be offering complimentary bi-monthly 30-minute zoom meetups. So, watch for the event if you would like to join. Then there will be a monthly 2-hour workshop for those who desire deeper tools for transforming pain into natural powerful healing life skills.

Also please rate and review my podcast, I would be grateful to help even one person transform their grief and ease their pain. xoxo Adele /episode/index/show/mindyourfreedoms/id/22106552

How can we put into words our deepest sorrow, grief may be like a deep cut 02/03/2022

How can we put into words our deepest sorrow, grief may be like a deep cut How many times will we be asked, how are you? And then end up consoling the consoler <3. How many times? Many many many times... so maybe we get better at it as we find the words to explain our feelings. How can we put into words one of the deepest and most profound losses we may ever experience. When someone we love dies, grief is unavoidable, unpredictable, and possibly like having a deep cut that even when you tear the band aide off, it still weeps and is rather raw when touched. NOTE: this podcast contains a meditation, so never listen this a meditation when you are operating a moving vehicle So, how can we ease the healing journey, on those days when we are feeling down. From where I stand, I believe self care is a perfect solution. So, let’s take a moment to think of self care in a different way. I would like you to imagine, because you probably already know that putting a “large yellow sticky” over your fuel gage would not be a great plan. It could lead to you to being stranded on a rainy day, out of gas and definitely not where you were intending to go today. But we, as women as notorious for “running ourselves out of gas”! So, I ask y’all to check that gage today <3. Someone said to me the other day. We are meant to give the best of ourselves to the world, NOT THE REST OF OURSELVES And I get it, because when I am a “giver” I love to give, but how much can we give when we feel depleted? When I was feeling the initial deep sense of loss, I hunkered down. I could hardly breath let alone, think of much of anything. So I engaged in small steps. Savouring long hot soaks in calming aroma scented water, that didn’t care if I added a few salty tears of my own. Time gazing at the expansive ocean, watching clouds filter past my views and ocean breeze through my mind. Immersed daily in the musky scent of deep nettled carpeted forest trails. Tuning into restful and calm audio books with an overtone of birdsongs high overhead. But it was the day of Willis’s celebration of Life, that I fully embraced the power of self care to create the experience I desired. I had a deep need to speak without melting down into a puddle of tears. And I didn’t know if I was up to it. It was still so painful, yet I needed to make the effort. No regrets <3 So, I set aside time for myself before guests arrived, to set myself up for success. And that meant focussing on my outcome, for being able to speak clearly, feel confident, calm and in control. I felt I could accomplish my desire by engaging in 30 minutes of self care. That meant unapologetically leaving all the family to continue to do the final prep. Lots was happening. In a hot dry summer with months without rain, June 5 was torrential. Tarps were being raised, location for electronics, mics, speaker were being moved, Table flipped up and all the cloths, glass wear, drinks, sandwiches all being manages by twenty or more beautiful souls. All as the heavens opened and deluged us all. In the flurry of activity, I simply turned away, closed the door to my bathroom and started to pour a hot steamy bath. As the water fell, I began toy focus inward. I always begin with breath. So if you would like to join me now; find a comfortable place to sit and relax where you know you will not be disturbed for 10 minutes And always remeber never listen to these recording when operating a moving vehicle Begin by drawing your attention towards your breath. Pushing hearing outward to whatever is pulling your attention outward. What is the farthest thing away you can hear? Maybe it is people talking, the sound of a car, laughter, a TV in another room, a bird, a dog barking, the fridge turning on, someone else running water at the kitchen sink. Moving your attention inward like a balloon losing air and shrinking smaller, until what you hear is the sound of your breath. Tuning in further, breath being pulled in through your nose. Listen to your lungs expand Wait for the beat of your heart and rush blood pumping outward into arteries, pulsing into capillary and eavesdropping on the oxygen fill cell in your body. Next, visualize breath: Imagine the oxygen we breath to be filled with bright sparking light. You know the ones, the tiny twinkle lights of the holiday season. Simply pause for a moment and close your eyes and Imagine billions of these sparks of beautiful light filling each oxygen molecule. Watch the bright light oxygen under one’s nose, observe as it is slowly inhaled up your nostrils, and as it flows down the throat and clearly filling your lungs. Notice as it brightens the inner chambers of your heart. Trace its path from the heart into arteries, bright white light marking out every artery, capillary and cell of your body. Breath long slow breaths and your body becomes saturated with life giving oxygen. Now feel what it feels like to breath. Notice the temperature of the oxygen as it enters your nose, verses the temperature when you exhale over your tongue and through your lips. Your any pressure as your throat allowing entrance naturally and easily. Measure the expansive opening of your thoracic cavity, satisfying lungs, fueling the constant and consistent rhythm of your heart as it passes through arteries, capillaries and into every cell of your body. Smell the air, taste it’s flavor or become aware of the taste inside your mouth. And now focus on your desired outcome. What do you want and why is it important? Think of focus as gathering and moving energy towards something you are creating. Thinking of calm, means that we are pulling energy from all around us and possibly imagine creating a bubble of calm energy around you, that helps to maintain calm. This is the time to create intention and repeat the sensory process of that intention. What does it look like, sounds like, feel like? When you can fully understand what it is, this is pure manifestation. So delve into sensations, see if you taste it, breath in the scent and this is powerful mind science. Focussing your attention for 17 seconds, begins to change the chemicals and hormones that are flushing through your body right now! The are matching your energetic focus. So if this is stress, you now have the power to change that.. Through our simply little exercise of focussing on breath, I believe you may have experienced a deep relaxation and calm. Recognize if you are feeling energized. We can fill our tank in many ways; when around people we enjoy, reading a great book, or when we simply take time to breath. They say that energy fills the “space between the space”. And Tesla, so long ago and it is now “science” said that there is enough energy in one cubic metre of air to boil all the oceans on the planet. Phenomenal! You may have seen that picture of him, a lightning bolt appearing out of the air and connecting with some instrument he was inventing. Tesla recognized that energy was all around us and his global thinking was to capture and then make available “FREE” energy to all the world. Amazing! So, I would like you to consider energy as a form of self care. And when we focus our energy towards providing ourselves with self care, we are filling our tank and relieving the stress and grief in our experience. I wish you a wonderful day and please know that I am here for you. If you would like a 1:1, Facebook: Linkedin: Insta: /episode/index/show/mindyourfreedoms/id/22015010

Epictetus knew suffering and how his words may help us today 01/25/2022

Epictetus knew suffering and how his words may help us today The Greek Philosopher Epictetus knew suffering. He was brought to Marcus Aurelius’ Rome as a slave, then rose through the ranks to become one of histories greatest teacher, before suffering once more in exile. We can only imagine the hardship of 50 AD for one who lived in slavery and one, Epictetus, who required a cane, due to a lame leg. But, how on earth, does Epictetus play a role in my life as a new-born widow? To understand how, let’s peak into stoic philosophy. It could be one common thread that links 21 centuries of human experience. Stoicism offers us real world, actionable wisdom to build perseverance, resilience, happiness, and self mastery. Stoicisms’ foundation lies in its’ virtues. Courage, Justice, Temperance and Wisdom They sound pretty good at first glance, but I wanted to know how they relate to human consciousness today So, I looked at the map of consciousness in Dr. David R Hawking’s Power Verses Force. David is widely known in the studying human consciousness. After it was discovered that our world and everything in it have definable energy and frequencies, his work was later applied to the law of attraction. And taking it to a personal level, how does these calibrated energy frequencies affect us personally? If you have read Emotos’ water experiment book: called The Magic of Water? It could shed potential light on that subject. The general idea is low frequencies relate more to struggle. For example, apathy could be recognized as a very low energy. With thoughts of apathy, we would feel physically bad. tired, sluggish, tuned out. And this becomes our focus, rather than our ability to see, feel and experience joy, we view the world and our life through a lens of apathy. The bottom line is, the lower we go, the steeper the climb. I believe as do many, that we can control the way we feel by being mindful of where our thoughts are focussed. Here is a grid 200 and below, as shown within the book, Power Verses Force, representing the map of consciousness. Courage 200: Pride 175, Anger 150, Desire 125, Fear 100, Grief 75, Apathy 50, Guilt 30, Shame 20. Consider each state of mind as a stepping-stone out of the one below. Recognize that apathy is a deeper than grief. But grief is still very low and not a healthy place to live for long! And if you did read Emoto’s book and relate that to a human body’s “internal wetness” then you can make your own conclusion. Mine was “yikes”! Quick reference: women are 45-60% water, men 50-65%. What I do understand is that If I am emotionally honest with myself and take full responsibility for thoughts, then I have control over my state of mind and therefore my wellbeing. When we look at Stoic values and compare then to the map of consciousness, it looks like this. Courage becomes the tipping point into greater potential of human consciousness, because 200 has been set as the center of the teeter totter between energy that attracts good things into our lives ( >200) verses the lower frequencies (<200) that also attract, but less desired. Justice is our ability to be fair minded, neutral, impartial and emancipate. Justice represents our freedom at 250. Temperance is having a sense of honor, morality, decency. We set our ontology with intention. Meaning who do I want to be as I move through life. This willingness to be the best we can morally be is intentional and energetically vibrates at a conscious code of 310 (Note: In grief we maintain humor) So we witness grace in action, within grief we can rise above our pain instantly, by engaging in humor. Wisdom provides us with clear thinking and good judgement, balance, insight, understanding and common sense, resonating at 400. But how does stoicism help us recover from grief, or any demanding life challenge? Focus on what is within our control, period. In ways, it reminds me of the simplicity offered by don Miguel Ruiz’ The Four Agreements. Be impeccable with your word, take nothing personally, make no assumptions and always do your best. Because sages through the ages have offered us this wisdom: Release our attachment to things outside of our control. Epictetus goes onto say, that whatever distress is inside the mind, ask if it is inside of our control, and if it is not, then let it go… Our power for maintaining happiness lies in our control of thoughts and actions. And this is true freedom. Do you recall, Mahatma Gandhi wise words? You can chain me, torture me, even destroy my body, but you can never imprison my mind. And yet, if we are not careful, grief could imprison our mind... Stepping-stones may be one key to overcoming the overwhelm of losing someone we love. In coaching one tool used to move beyond overwhelm is the Zorro Circle Can you recall the movie Zorro? In is a great example of “chunking”. Milton Erikson once said, we can achieve anything if we break it down into its simplest most understood form. Bring the overwhelm in, focus in, tune it in, make it manageable. In the movie, Zorro, there is the one scene, inside the cave. The young unruly rake wants to take control of his domain, but fundamentally his life is out of control. The wiser older Zorro takes him into the cave where there is a smaller circle carved into the floor. The young man is put into a harness. He can not move farther, and this defines the inner circle of mastery. Like the young Zorro, we can build our inner strength and inner wisdom by maintaining focus on what we can control, the baby steps to feeling a sense of peace, calm and ultimately to feel happy Because when we feel overwhelmed, we have entered emotional center of our middle brain, where logic, rational and reason do not reside. The middle brain can be a rabbit hole of emotion. Left untended, we could spiral days into weeks. And time goes by, and we wonder how long we can possibly grieve. Stoicism asks us to release anything that is outside of our control. I know absolutely, I can not change the fact that Willis “has left the building.” (I’m an old Elvis fan😊) What can I control? My focus, my thoughts, my actions. My focus today to have courage, to be just, to set my life intentionally and live in balance. Whew, I feel better already, Stay well out there, and remember, I am here for you or a friend or family member who is suffering. Happiness is just a relief call away. /episode/index/show/mindyourfreedoms/id/21877253
