Goodbye 2019

by | posted in: Love Yourself Now | 235
The last Full Moon of the year, of the decade, is upon us. Are you ready to say your final farewell to the stories of the past that have kept you stuck, and move into the next decade with the grace and courage you know is within you?

If you’ve been reading my weekly Mindful Moment for a while now, you know I keep talking about the shifting energies of 2020. From all I have learned from my wise teachers, 2020 will bring big transitions. 

They say that 2020 is a time where we all are up-leveling, and will experience higher frequencies of energy. This includes things on the world stage. This could be a time when things fall apart, only to allow the energy to rebuild to support the new decade. 

The energy of this Full Moon offers you the opportunity to free yourself from past burdens, stress and anxieties. You get to choose what you will leave behind, and what you will carry forward into 2020. 

Use this Full Moon as a time for letting go of anything that you no longer wish to take with you into the new year. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself wanting to retreat, recharge and restore your energy around this Full Moon, too. It’s an excellent time to offer kindness and respect to yourself and your life journey. 

This isn’t a time for judgement, rather a time for a deeper reflection. Ask yourself what habits, patterns or behaviors are you ready and willing to let go of to make way for a new way of being. 
December is always a busy month, so self care is essential. If you need support, now is the time to reach out to a trusted friend or professional and get the help you need. 
The time between the December Full and New Moon is a time to let your intentions for the new year begin percolating. Allow yourself to daydream, visualize and see yourself living the life you truly desire.

As the New Moon on December 26th comes around make the time to solidify your intentions  and step into this new decade with confidence. I’ll share more about this potent New Moon next week. 

The December Full Moon is in Gemini and will fall on December 12 at 12:12 am Eastern time (12/12 12:12 for those of you who are interested in numerology). 

I’ll leave you with 5 questions to journal with on this Full Moon. 
1. What am I ready to release for good?
2. What do I no longer wish to carry forward?
3. What do I know to be true right now?
4. What do I need to acknowledge regarding my relationships?
5. What do I need to acknowledge regarding my finances?

I’ll be asking myself this series of question on 12/12 at 12:12am as I sit under the Full Moon with a cup of hot cacao to open my heart to the intuitive lunar energies. I invite you to join me.

Infinite ∞ Love,
Lyn

Grieving with Gratitude

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 0

Here’s a real life situation, that at some time or another, we all face — grieving a loss of something we love. It may be a person, a situation, an end of a relationship, loss of a job, or in my case, loss of a beloved pet. There’s nothing quite as painful as the heartbreak of loss. 

If you’ve been following me for a while now, you may have heard the story of Rambo Ram Dass, my pit bull spiritual warrior. I call him my spiritual warrior because he taught me some of the most important lessons during my healing journey. He helped me regain my spiritual strength, and lead me to reconnect with my healing practices. 

He and I had an energetic connection. We talked through spirit rather than words. When he would go off exploring on the farm, he rarely would come when called. Instead, when I called him through my heart energy, silently, he’d come trotting up the path towards me. 

Over the past 3 months he had been ill, swollen lymph nodes, infection in the lungs, enlarged heart. And on Saturday, while we were visiting the vet for another treatment, he died in my arms. He was 5 years old. 

Now, I’m not going to lie, the last couple of months have really sucked. But when the weight of grief begins to settle in, I try to catch it, recognize it, thank it for allowing me to feel, and then I do my best to turn that sorrow into gratitude. And here’s the thing, research is showing that transforming sorrow into gratitude, while challenging, can have strong emotional and mental benefits. 

According to a decade’s worth of research on gratitude by Robert Emmons of Berkeley University, it’s clear that no one “feels” grateful when faced with the loss of something dear to them. What is clear, is the difference between “feeling” grateful and “being” grateful. In my case, I don’t “feel” grateful that my sweet dog has died, but I AM grateful for all that he taught me, all the joy that he brought to my life. 

So, while I can’t will myself to feel less sadness about this loss, I can honor these feelings with making the choice to be grateful for our time together. 

Another aspect of the research tells us that being grateful helps us cope with crisis. Cultivating an attitude of gratitude builds up our psychological immune system that supports us in hard times. The science shows that when people express gratitude they are more resistant to stress. 

So don’t push away the sorrow, after all, life has it’s disappointments, frustrations, losses, setbacks and sadness. Life includes suffering. When we view life through an attitude of gratitude, we are not denying our suffering. Instead, we realize the power we have within us to overcome and transform the suffering into finding closure and letting go of difficult memories. 

Emmons found evidence of these 3 conclusions:

  1. Gratitude can be an overwhelming intense feeling.
  2. Gratitude for the gifts that others easily overlook most can be the most powerful and frequent form of thankfulness.
  3. Gratitude can be chosen in spite of one’s situation or circumstance. 

Healing from grief is a process, and I’m on the journey to healing my broken heart. I’m truly grateful to have loved this pup so deeply, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. And gratitude, I’m finding, is the cure for this broken heart. 

How has gratitude helped you deal with crisis or loss? I’d love to know. Just hit the reply button and send me a reply message. I always appreciate hearing from you.

Building Your Solid Foundation

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 101

Here’s a question… How strong is your inner foundation? I ask because yesterday as I was working on the details of the IGNITE 2020 Retreat I pulled an Oracle Card to guide me — and what came forward was a card about building strong foundations. I chuckled with a warm heart because the card is in absolute alignment with the fundamental intentions I’ve been holding for the retreat. It was another confirmation that Spirit always guides me to the truth. 

The card reminds me that we all are a beautiful work in progress, yet every so often it’s a good practice to check our foundations. You, dear one, have everything you need to cultivate your extraordinary life. The thing is, sometimes you loose focus of your foundation, your core values, ethics, and beliefs of your inner being, 

Every month in my lunar ceremonies, both the ones I hold publicly, and the ones I do privately, I advocate for looking at the fundamental intentions that are guiding us. We are changing everyday, and it only makes sense that our intentions change along with us. Checking our foundation is a way to review our intentions and to clarify if they still hold value. The question is are they still true for you? Will they stand the test of time and serve as the sold base for which you construct your life from here forward?

5 Questions to Ask Yourself as You Inspect Your Foundation
1. What actions are you taking to align to your values, belief and purpose?
2. How do you practice self-awareness?
3. What can you let go of or say no to that would strengthen your foundation?
4. Where are you ignoring signs or situations that no longer serve you?
5. Who are you spending time with?

Now is the time, dear one, to build upon your strong foundation. To remove what is no longer of benefit to you, and to strengthen that which is leading you to your prosperity. Each one of these building blocks of your foundation hold the brilliant energy of your intentions. Now is the time to own your dreams and to remember that no matter what, you are always more than enough. The design for your life is taking shape, and sometimes it’s helpful to do an inspection. 

I invite you to address the cracks in the foundation of your life. Go head and remove the broken pieces and reinforce your core moral strength and integrity. Now, dear one, is the time to step into your authentic honesty as you renovate and upgrade your inner foundation. Don’t be afraid to replace that which is no longer structurally strong and solid with that which supports and uplifts you. 

How have you been building your solid foundation? I’d love to hear some of the ways that you inspect and reinforce your inner strength and integrity. Send a reply or leave a comment and I’ll be sure to respond. 

Infinite Love,

Lyn

Living Your Sustainable Life

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 69
I’ve been thinking about sustainability lately, and with the IGNITE 2020 Retreat happening here on the farm in January, I’ve been mulling around about what it takes to live a sustainable life — not necessarily in an environmental way, but in a whole life kind of way. 

I’ve been reviewing my past, looking at the life I lived in Silicon Valley, and at all the things expected of me there. I’ve come to realize that I was not living sustainably, instead, I was living someone else’s expectations of me. 

It’s taken me a while to decompress from that life. To give myself permission to live my unique purpose, and to engage more authentically with myself and those around me. Bottom line is that I finally stopped pretending that I had this “dream life” that everyone else wanted and began living my life fully, unapologetically, and in alignment with my big dreams and my deepest values.
In today’s Mindful Moment I’ll share 5 things that I consider necessary to live a sustainable life.  

1. Let go of toxic people and their expectations of you. Whoooo, this was a big one. When I realized that I was trying to be liked by everyone, I allowed toxic people in to my inner circle. Cutting the cord to them, or reestablishing new boundaries with them, has been one of the most difficult, yet liberating things I changed in my life. These days, my life is so much more sustainable as I surround myself with a smaller group of healthy, authentic and loving people. They don’t have any expectations of me, and support me in being the best version of myself that I can be. 

2. Show up for yourself and your dreams. This was another huge lesson. When I let my inner critic, judgements, and hidden fears run my life, I was always hiding in the corner and not allowing my gifts and talents to shine brightly. Now that I show up for my life – every single day – in whatever way feels best to me, I see my big dreams and audacious visions manifesting in ways I never expected. 

3. Drop out and tune in. For me personally, I had to drop out in order to tune in. I left Silicon Valley and moved to Panama. I stopped playing “the” game, and made up my own. It felt overwhelming, raw, and not so easy to leave a community I had cultivated for over 25 years. But when I began to tune in, I realized that I had a huge collection of acquaintances, with very little real engagement. Now I schedule time to connect with the people that really matter, and spend time in deep and meaningful relationships that uplift and inspire. 

4. Do the work to heal your wounds. Doing my inner work created the space for me to heal old and festering wounds. When I got clear about the issues I needed to confront in order to to heal, I thought I would break in two. It felt uncomfortable, vulnerable, and yet it was the most healing work I’ve ever done. I had to walk through the fire to create a life I could sustain with ease and grace. 

5. Honor your values. For much of my life, I lacked boundaries, I lacked the ability to say no to others. I was the perpetual yes girl. This rarely served my sustainable life, and I found myself scattered and unfocused. When I got clear on my own set of values and began upholding and honoring them consistently, I found that those who stuck around gained deeper respect for me, and for the important work that I’m here to do in the world. 

So, as you think of how you can quit plastic, recycle your glass, and switch to non-toxic cleaning supplies, think also about what you can do to create your own sustainable inner landscape. 

When you begin to look within for the clues, the inspiration, and the wisdom that you carry inside, you create a deeply sustainable life that becomes a integral part of you life journey. 

How are you creating your sustainable life? I’d love to hear some of the things that have helped you most. I always love reading your thoughts and comments, so go ahead and share them in a reply.
