Open My Heart

What do I need NOW to open my heart

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 91

When I open my heart to myself, I open the door to unconditional love.

When I open my heart to myself, I expand my consciousness.

When I love myself, I create my own safe haven, where I am free to fully express myself for who I am and to realize my dreams.

When I open my heart to love myself without qualification, I develop the foundation for understanding, caring for and knowing myself.

My difficulty with loving myself directly impacts the thoughts I have, the feelings I feel, the choices I make, the relationships I select and how I perceive and react to every life situation.

I realize that these feelings are not my fault. My heart has disconnected from my true being in it’s best effort to keep me safe. I closed my heart, I took things personally, I blamed others because I though myself unlovable, not good enough, or that something was wrong with me.

I have learned that the key to self-love is knowing and accepting my true being. I trust in my experience as unique and valuable. I open my heart, I observe my thoughts, I acknowledge my feeling. I quiet my inner critic.

Opening my heart is vulnerable. I release my burdens so that my heart can open even more. My open heart is a conduit to my life force, allowing me to receive and transmit love energy freely and to feel compassion, well being and tap into my own intuitive creativity.

When my heart is open, I feel the warm waves of energy vibrating within the center of my chest, and these waves emanate outwards from my body in all directions.

I realize that the choice is mine. I know it is my divine right to open my heart to my own self-love. I see how this leads to a richer, more expansive life. I have gratitude for my journey. I trust myself to see the guidance given to me by living with my open heart. I listen to the voice in my head that loves me, and does not judge me.

Mid Year Intentions Check-Up

by | posted in: Love Yourself Now | 238

Have you felt like it’s time to kick start your intentions to move your big dreams forward?

Do you want to cultivate the creative power to amplify your desires so that you manifest them in the next 6 months?

At the start of every new year I write out my big dreams and visions that I want to manifest in the coming 12 months.

And while I keep this list of dreams and desires in my journal for easy reference, I personally find that I benefit from a mid-year check up to make sure that I am on track or consider if I need to change course to create that which is most important to me.

Especially in July. July is the midpoint of the year. I like to use the new moon as the time to create this ritual of checking in, and diving into the details that are most important in the next six months of my life.

This is the time that I get really specific and real with myself. I ask myself if the intentions I set in January are still important to me. I ask myself what is most important, what’s my ultimate priority to manifest before the end of the year?

And during the new moon I’d like to invoke ritual and get creative with my intentions. I allow myself to dream big. In the process of dreaming big I try my very best to visualize the intention as if it’s already been manifested. And I tap into my self love, letting myself know that I am worthy of my desires.

And under the dark of the new moon I let it go, I release it and I allow the universe to to take control. But let me be clear here… I don’t forget about it — I just get out of my own way.

I do however check in with my intentions weekly and do the small acts of kindness for myself that move this intention forward.

If you’d like an opportunity to have some support and accountability for your intentions, I’d be honored to schedule a complementary session to get you back on track.

To take advantage of this opportunity send an email to lyn@lynbishop.com with “New Moon Intentions” in the subject line. I’ll be back in touch ASAP with available times. I can’t wait for you to be re-inspired to reignite your most important intentions.

Infinite ∞ Love,

Energy Flows Where Intention Goes

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 2

Intention has the power to change your life.

But what does setting intention really mean?

Setting an intention is activating a part of your receptivity, to your ability to receive. It’s like a roadmap to going to your desired destination. The power of the intention helps you navigate your way to get there. 

Often times we let the day, or the week, or the month, happen organically. And while there is something wonderful about going with the flow, there is something very powerful in setting intention.

When we set an intention we activate our receptivity and our power to manifest and we put out that which we intend to attract or call into our life — and that’s where the real power is.

Intentions don’t have to be just about tangible and physical things they can be about how we wish to operate internally or about what we want to call into our own internal landscape.

The power is to check in with our mind, body, and spirit and really except and acknowledge and activate that desire in our life.

Once you have an intention in mind you want to share it with the universe. When we let our spiritual support team know clearly what it is that we desire that’s when the magic can begin to show up.

I personally find that using ritual to set intentions and communicate with my spiritual support team is a potent and powerful way to communicate my desire. I invoke self-care and journaling, and perhaps most importantly gratitude.

Gratitude is such an important part of the intention setting process because if you’re always wanting and you’re not acknowledging the gratitude in your life, you’re communicating from a state of scarcity.

One of the ways that I practice my intention setting is every morning when I wake up I connect to my heart for a few moments. I breathe and I send myself love and kindness in this moment. I send love to my community and the greater world around me and from that place of love and gratitude I set my daily intention.

In my Love Yourself Now 12 week Journey we learn how to use a daily intention, a weekly intention, and intention for the whole 12 weeks to create the life we truly are worthy to live.

If you would like to learn more about my signatures style of self love coaching reach out and I’d be happy to share more with you. My intention is to be a resource for those of us who wish to create and embrace the amazing life that we’ve come here to live.

Why Mentors Matter

by | posted in: Love Yourself Now, Uncategorized | 54

Who is your mentor?

Honestly, It wasn’t until I began to seriously invest in myself that the big shifts began to happen.

I had spent years, and I do mean YEARS, trying to hodgepodge together the skills and knowledge, the love and compassion that I needed to share my purpose.

These one off sessions and quick trainings put me on my path, but I found myself in a maze of confusion. I felt like I was waisting precious time trying this and trying that, and what I wanted was to find the straight path through the maze.

I found that path when I began to invest in working with my mentors and coaches.

The first real mentor I worked with was Laura Hollick, who helped me align to my true purpose and passion. In her year long program, she guided me to my authentic truth and set me on my path to success. I’m ever grateful to her for teaching me boundaries, and the creative aspects of entrepreneurship that I never learned in my Entrepreneurship Business Degree I earned at University.

Then, I took a bigger step, and invested all of myself into Bill Baren’s Big Shift Coaching Program. Here I was surrounded by beautiful heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to do good in the world. It’s like a B-Corp training on steroids.

But OH MY it was so hard at first. The vulnerability I felt in asking for help and support. And I got my ass kicked with love and kindness as my support team held me accountable and asked me to step deeper into my hopes and dreams. These people cared about me, they cared where I was going and shared what was needed to get there.

What every good mentor/coach knows is that each of us need a good mentor/coach. We all have our own areas of nativity, and a good coach/mentor helps us see through our own hidden fears to awaken us to our “stuff”. We all have it. They help us show up when the going gets tough, and they hold us accountable to our hopes and big visions. They share their wisdom without the bullshit. They give comfort through the uncertainty and ambiguity of life’s daily dramas. Bottom line – they really do care.

When I began to invest in myself, with money, time, accountability, and action, I began to see my own style of awesome emerge even brighter. I saw the difference I could make in this crazy world we live in.

I am incredibly grateful for the wisdom and fierce love shared to me by my mentors, and I can’t imagine *not* making that committed investment in myself ever again.

All you have to do is look at this love puddle to see the care and support that flows unconditionally when being held in accountability and commitment. I am so incredibly grateful to each and every one of them.

So, let me ask again, who is your mentor?

Do you have one? Many? Share in the comments below.

If you don’t have one, maybe it’s time to begin your search… Seek out mentors who are ahead of you on your life path. Those who embody the qualities you want to emulate.

But most of all, make yourself available to learn. Show up, be committed to yourself and give yourself the full investment into your evolution.

Who you are today and who you’ll be in 5 years is determined not by the books you read, but by the mentors you choose. (And the ones who choose you.) I’m sure of it.
