One of my favourite topics is about free will. Do we have it? Or do we follow a programming? When we're hypnotized by fear and put under pressure, it's easy to feel like we're making choices freely. However, these decisions are often driven by deeply rooted programs and a sense of scarcity rather than actual free will. When fear takes over, our mind tends to default to old patterns of behavior and thinking. These patterns, or "programs," are usually developed from past experiences, societal expectations, and a survival mentality, which can limit our ability to make decisions that genuinely align with our higher self or true desires.
To live in alignment with divine will, it's important to free ourselves from these limiting programs and the societal pressure to conform. Divine will, or guidance from a higher power or inner wisdom, often shows us the authentic and right choices. But when judgments weigh us down—whether they're our own or imposed by others—it becomes difficult to hear that inner guidance. Society often tells us how things "should" be done, but following these outer expectations can lead us away from what is best for us. Simple: do not conform. Free will and divine alignment go hand in hand when we release the pressures and judgments that confuse our decision-making. This doesn't mean ignoring practical considerations or responsibilities but approaching them from inner peace and clarity rather than fear. When we make choices without the burden of fear or societal pressure, we can align our actions with our true purpose and the greater good, leading to more fulfilling outcomes. In the end, living in alignment with the divine will is about trusting ourselves and our inner guidance over the external noise. It requires us to let go of fear-based thinking and the need to conform, allowing us to live more authentically. Or you can say to follow your intuition.

A gong bath is a form of sound therapy where participants are immersed in the healing vibrations of gongs. Here are ten reasons you might need a gong bath:
In life, not everything is meant to be a treat, and that’s perfectly okay. We often see others' best moments online, which can make us feel like life should always be easy and rewarding. But the truth is, life is a mix of ups and downs, good times and challenges.
Expecting everything to be fun and easy can set us up for disappointment. The tough moments are just as important as the good ones because they help us grow and learn. So, it’s great to enjoy the fun times, it’s also important to accept that not every moment will be a treat, and that’s part of what makes life meaningful. Generational trauma, also known as intergenerational trauma, is a concept where the emotional wounds of one generation can be passed down to the next through behaviours, patterns, and even DNA. When we talk about trauma being passed on genetically, it refers to how stress or trauma experienced by parents can cause changes in their DNA, which might affect their children and grandchildren. This means that the trauma your grandparents experienced could influence how you respond to stress today. It's like your body has a memory of the trauma, even if you didn't experience it yourself. However, it's important to note that while trauma can be passed down, healing can also occur and be passed to future generations. To fight generational trauma, awareness and therapeutic practices are important. Understanding this, can empower individuals to break cycles of trauma through therapy, mindfulness, and other healing practices. This understanding is important because it allows for both compassion and proactive healing, ensuring that negative cycles can be interrupted and new, positive ones created.  For plus 20 years, I’ve been practicing the Sedona Method and incorporating surrendering techniques into my daily life. These practices have profoundly shaped who I am today, giving me a constant sense of peace and clarity. The Sedona Method, with its simple yet powerful approach to letting go, has become more than just a technique for me—it's a way of life. By consistently surrendering my worries, fears, and attachments, I've cultivated an inner calm that remains steady regardless of external circumstances. One of the most significant impacts of these practices is how they’ve altered my perception of others’ opinions. There was a time when I would get caught up in what others thought about my choices or my life path. Now, I find that these thoughts rarely disturb my peace. The practice of surrender has taught me that other people’s views are just that—their views, not truths that I need to hold onto. This shift has given me the freedom to live authentically, in alignment with my values and beliefs, rather than being swayed by external judgments. This journey of surrender and letting go has been transformative, providing me with tools to navigate life in a simple and easy way. It’s not that challenges don’t arise; they do, as they do for everyone. But my approach to them has changed. Instead of resisting or getting overwhelmed, I lean into the practice, allowing myself to release what no longer serves me. This ongoing commitment to surrender has allowed me to maintain a steady sense of peace, regardless of life’s ups and downs, and for that, I am deeply grateful.  Life is full of choices, and often, the most meaningful decisions are the hardest to make. There will always be reasons not to pursue something, especially when it involves stepping out of your comfort zone or facing significant challenges. These reasons might seem logical or even necessary at the time, but they often serve as barriers to personal growth and achievement. The truth is, anything worth doing comes with its own set of obstacles, and it's easy to find excuses to avoid taking action. However, when we look back at our lives, it's not the moments where we avoided difficulty that stand out, but those where we faced it head-on. Overcoming challenges gives us a sense of accomplishment and helps build resilience. These are the moments that shape our character and define our journey. Whether it's starting a new project, pursuing a passion, or making a significant life change, the satisfaction we feel from overcoming obstacles far outweighs the comfort of staying within our limits. At the end of the day, action is a choice. It's the choice to focus on the reasons for doing something rather than avoiding it. While it's natural to have doubts and fears, the decision to move forward despite them is what makes all the difference. By choosing to act, we open ourselves up to new opportunities and affirm our commitment to growth and self-improvement. In the end, it's these choices that lead to a life of fulfillment and purpose.  Finding happiness in our circumstances often comes down to how we view our situation. When we focus on small moments of contentment, we realize our cup is more than half full. This positive outlook helps us deal with life's challenges better. By appreciating what we have, even when things aren't perfect, we maintain our mental and emotional well-being. It's about recognizing the good in our lives and letting that gratitude guide us.
Empathy is key to this mindset. Understanding and sharing the feelings of others helps us connect on a deeper level, creating a sense of community and support. Empathy isn't just about listening; it's about genuinely caring and showing kindness. When we empathize, we create a ripple effect, encouraging others to do the same. This shared compassion boosts our own happiness by reminding us we're not alone. Combining gratitude and empathy leads to a more fulfilling life. When we appreciate small joys and show compassion, we create a positive environment for ourselves and others. Our cup isn't just half full—it's overflowing with potential for happiness and connection. This approach helps us face difficulties with grace and find joy in everyday moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. Ever wish you could make your dreams a reality? Of course, we all have and do. It might sound out there, but hear me out—sound healing could be the key to unlocking your inner manifesting powers. We're diving into the fascinating world where sound meets manifestation. As per the prior blog, we all know that vibration can do marvellous things, such as reducing pain. You have all heard of the law of attraction—this idea that what you focus on, you attract into your life. Sound healing takes that concept up a notch. It's about using sound vibrations to amplify your intentions and bring them to life. Whether through chanting, singing bowls, gong sounds or even listening to specific frequencies, sound can help you tap into the power of manifestation. So, how does it work? Think of sound as a supercharged amplifier for your affirmations and intentions. When you combine sound healing with manifestation techniques like visualization and positive affirmations, you create a potent cocktail of energy that can help you attract abundance, success, and all the good stuff you desire. One of the coolest things about sound manifestation is its versatility. You can tailor your sound healing practice to focus on specific goals or areas of your life where you want to see change. Sound healing can be your secret weapon, whether you're looking to manifest more money, better relationships, or a greater sense of well-being. Ready to give it a try? Start by incorporating sound healing into your daily routine. Set aside some time each day to listen to sound baths, practice chanting, book a sound bath or repeat affirmations while focusing on the sound vibrations. The more you immerse yourself in the practice, the more powerful your manifestations can become. So, if you're ready to take your manifesting game to the next level, why not try sound healing? It's a fun, accessible way to amplify your intentions and bring your dreams to life. Book one today!  Lee is talking about making ‘sacred’ art. Sound good to me :) |
