No Shadows Without Light

There can be no shadows without light. We hear about the shadow self, the darkness we experience and how we must look for the light or find our way to the light. The light is always there and constant, it just happens we face the wrong direction when we see/experience the shadow or darkness.

Our own light cast a shadow, so we are never without light, what we are is off course and not going in the right direction. The fix is simple “STOP” and just turn until you see the light and continue in that direction.

What about this shadow/darkness. While it can seem so insurmountable or daunting to get back to the light, this happens because we keep heading further and further into the shadow or darkness. This is why we are here for each other, why we have a spiritual family or circle. We are not to judge or preach but to hold space and get that person to stop.

We are to hold space and get that person to stop and realize they have just taken a wrong turn and help them find the right direction. We never do this by following them further into the shadow or darkness, we hold our ground in the light and hold space in the light inviting them to deal with or figure out what they need to in the light of the divine. No one will ever see what they need in the darkness and shadows deceive, healing and progress only can happen in the light.

Fear exaggerates

On By casadelcuranderoIn Inspiriation, Living A Radical LifeLeave a comment

Fear exaggerates even the smallest of things. It will magnify your insecurities, amplifies the negative self-talk and creates so much emotional static you will  think whatever problem or obstacle in front of you is huge. You will be consumed with getting through the situation that you might not see that you can simply go around it and continue on your path.

Is it dark?

13418542_10202308645672940_4105461760306272612_oThe darkness can seem overwhelming and insurmountable but this is just a perception because the darkness like the light is only what we make it.

The darkness can be a time to go inside rest and renew your spirit and your resolve. What do you do with darkness? Stop and disconnect, Turn off the social media, make a plan to replenish your soul with good food, reading and nature.

Sometimes the darkness comes from an unhealthy place either externally or internally in the way of actions, words, and thoughts. This is when the darkness is unhealthy  and counterproductive.

So what do you do with this type of darkness? You first stop what you are doing notice the darkness and say “Stop, end of this story,” then you replace the negative with four positive statements or truths about the false condition. You don’t have to dispell the darkness you just have to change it’s energy to a positive vibration.

Your Helpful Words Hinder

635903296903544511-17105702_201211-orig-deepak-chopra9-949x534You have heard this, read it or even said it, You can’t find love until you learn to love yourself.

To suggest this is to imply that someone can’t love what other perceive as your imperfections but that one person might see as the total traits that make you who they fall in love with. To suggest only a person who accepts everything about themselves first can then find love is unfair to that person because you have suggested a limit to that person’s happiness. The individual who comes into someone’s life might just be the person who helps that person heal or deal with those traits that have caused them trouble in their life. You know sometimes it takes the power of two to help you love all the things about you. Just look around and at yourself, how completely healed and in love are people or you but yet have a relationship?

Make sure your words are helpful and you are just not repeating the phrases and facebook quotes that you read before you understand the nature of the human journey. If you truly can’t be helpful without judgment then just don’t say anything.

It’s better to be silent and have people assume you’re a fool than to open your mouth and erase all doubt.

Claim your body

When people suffer abuse it robs them of their personal power. The abuse affects how they see themselves and how they see their body.

There is a shaming that happens both on an emotional level and a physical level. Internal work, the soul work, and understanding the process of the person abused can help to free a person of some of the issues associated with this abuse but if the body is not part of the process then no unity can be found in healing.

Internal work, the soul work, and understanding the process of the person abused can help to free a person of some of the issues associated with abuse.

The body has to be part of the process and the negative feelings attached to the human vehicle our soul travels in must be addressed.

If you don’t claim your body then your soul is lost inside. Understanding the power of your body and taking control of it once again brings unity to your healing.

If you are always operating from the mode of Fight or Flight when you are triggered then it is time to take control. Set your intention to pay attention to the trigger when it starts before your body reacts. Now that you are aware of the trigger started choose to step back and examine the trigger and learn to Heal or Deal with it calmly and normally. This can be accomplished easy or hard it depends on what you believe it will take.

Be Radical With Bounderies

Be radical with your life! Don’t let the unjust boundaries of life and others stop you from living a magnificent life.

Don’t fear being great or listen to the voices of those who do fear greatness. Be the force of nature you are destined to be.

Spiritual Radical

PhotoFunia-1456708100It has been 5 months to the day that I experienced my near death experience. I was given a choice to stay or to come back. I came back because I felt I had things to do still and people to come into contact with while in this mortal realm.

You don’t get an instruction manual when you first come into this life, nor do you get one when you come back in after a near-death experience. So I have been feeling a little lost and not integrated fully after my return. All the old patterns of my past life were no longer suited for this life.

I had the good fortune of having a conversation with one of my friends, who happens to be one of the wise sages I know while on this journey. He had recounted hearing how patients who have undergone successful treatment for cancer find it harder the year after the treatments. The reason being that they had invested so much energy and time in fighting and surviving that when that is over they need to learn how to live again.

This was a huge insight into my feelings after returning. Up to the point of my near death experience, I was fighting to survive and not living for the most part. Now I have all that energy and knowledge to turn it into living a fulfilling, abundant and spiritually radical life.

If you feel you need to fight to survive in your everyday life then you are not living your true life. Your true life should be as a Spiritual Radical, break the bonds of conformity to old dogma and confines to fully free your soul to live and experience your journey on your terms.

Free Will or Will Not

We have free will. The ability to choose every moment how we want our lives to be, so when you make bad choices don’t blame it on circumstances, other people or society. It was a choice by you that activated the energy to create the result. THINK before you choose.

Embrace it or be lost

av1zd6o8hodkx1uve6cwOnly when you embrace what you consider your imperfections will you be whole. At this point you have taken the parts of you that you did not think fit into who you are and now have filled the holes that left you feeling empty. -Francisco E. Alvarez-
