Idea for the day
Do you want to start something right away to tap into your brilliance within? I thought so.
What mainly holds us back is our mind, our ego. That monkey mind that prefers to keep us in the same situation because it is known. Even though it isn’t necessarily the best for us, it is what is deemed comfortable to the mind. When things aren’t always optimal for my clients, this is the first thing that I recommend and what shifts them immediately when they do it.
Create an altar, or sacred space just for YOU! This isn’t about what “should” go there. It is what you are wanting to bring forth in yourself. When we symbolically create something to show our brilliance, it is sending a message to our higher power (God, Spirit, Universe, Goddess, etc.) showing that we are ready to bring out our brilliance to the world.
Some examples are a space that isn’t touched by others that may have stones, shells, special objects from our chosen paths, colorful cloth, sparkly objects. It is anything that respresents what you want to bring into your world. This isn’t the place for the family portraits and everything that we have in our homes. This is the place for only YOU to reside. Because we can only fully become ourselves.
Make sure it is out in the open somewhere. When we put it in a drawer, that is in essence what we do to ourselves. If you are not able to find a small space for you in the home, bring it outside!
If you already have a special place, take a look at it. When was the last time you worked with it? That will give you a hint as to when you have worked with yourself. Here’s a story of a woman I consulted with recently. She was having challenges with finances to take the yoga class she really wanted to take. I asked her about her altar, or special space. She noticed it was messy, disorganized and had some things that she thought “should” be there. She knew really what needed to be there. She cleaned and arranged it and added some money (since that was her challenge at the moment to move forward with her dreams of yoga). She wrote the next day to me ecstatic that money showed up in her mailbox the next day to pay for it. A friend offered to help her with some other challenges she had, and she was on her way.
You see….when we make a commitment to who we are….our higher power immediately responds WHEN it is in alignment with our true selves.
Try it. Listen. Observe. And truly let your brilliance shine!
