CONFIDENCE
My name is Lynn and I have developed confidence in my knowledge about energy flow and in the results of the changes that have taken place. And so, it was decided that perhaps the experiences that helped me along the way would be interesting to others. Each story indicates just a little bit of how my confidence has grown.
The best way to develop confidence is to have a thought, create words to describe that thought and then, having what it takes to pull those words into an action or item that can be noticed by others.
As you read my words, listen to my voice, and take in the essence of each story, I hope you recognize your own ability to connect your thoughts, words, and actions to your growing confidence.
Balancing
Success in my life builds confidence. Discovery of what I do not like or want in my life builds confidence. An amazing concept – as long as I change my thoughts about myself, it builds confidence. Wow – and I had the mistaken belief that just discovering the best of me and building upon it was the answer. But really, it is discovery about all of me that counts. Confidence needs to combine with comfort in each of my bodies and when I add trust in myself, that blends with the senses of every type. Quite a learning! When I was a teenager, I compared myself with others. They had more stylish clothes or had an athletic ability, or a musical talent, or seemed really intellectual or were more fun to be around. I felt like I didn’t have it and they did. Comparison is not a good idea I have discovered, because how could I compare to others, if I am only gazing at the physical beings? There are no Olympics to discover who succeeds, as it is all about the individual, and for my case, me. If I am using my physical body in movement during an experience, such as walking, bending or squatting, and I am hearing my thoughts and am feeling the emotion about the experience, then it is an accomplishment. I have let go of dark and let in the light and learnt something more about myself, even if I considered the experience to be a failure – ‘didn’t like it and won’t try it again’ is a valid teaching about myself. Doing a ‘job’ in confidence, which means I would be doing it without telling anyone else about it, means that I have been gifted with someone else’s confidence in my ability to keep it to myself. It is like I am able to gain confidence in myself by receiving it. My criteria for balancing confidence, comfort and trust: All I do requires honour and respect, and needs to be prefaced with common sense, or it might not be practical. It means an understanding of food and the components of good healthy eating and its timing. It means listening to the words of my channeling, and my ability to make decisions as to my participation with others. It means I recognize what I like and don’t like or won’t tolerate. Now, I have something new for those listening and/or reading. If you recognize a similarity in your life and are willing to share that story, please send it to contact@energiesoftheuniverse.ca. Can you share a story about when you realized something inside you had shifted — when trust, comfort, or confidence began to grow? #55-Confdence-009
Relaxation
Throughout my life, I have been drawn to varying forms of nature. I am pretty sure all of us are drawn to various forms, but I am drawn to rocks, whether they are stones for the pocket, or those for gardens, or of course, mountains. I had the pleasure of hiking the mountains in Ireland a few years back. That produced feelings like I’ve never had before. Standing on top of the mountain, I felt like it was a gift to be there – the utter feeling of being ‘loved’ by the earth itself will never be forgotten. It is hard to describe – but I felt so inspired within myself and felt that anything was possible for me as long as I kept stepping through life. To this day, I find that if I am a little tense or upset by something, I just need to drive by a mountainous area, and I can feel my body relax and the negative feelings will disappear. When I was young my grandparent’s cottage, was nothing but rocky terrain – flat rocks so easy to walk or lay upon. Family around also assisted of course, but the confidence in myself and the relaxation received by the rocks into this body of mine were amazing. It is also a wonderful memory that comes to mind quickly. Put the rocks with water and wow – beautiful combination for this woman! The one and only gem that I have as part of my life, is the amethyst. It happens to be my birth stone, but I seemingly have always been attracted to it. I grew up in Toronto and was drawn to amethyst, so it was a big surprise and a plus for me to move to Thunder Bay, which is where we have mines of amethyst. Exciting, yes indeed. We have both positives and negatives in our world but my feelings about the mountains, the rocks and the amethyst come together for me as a form of protection. Not that they can rid of the negatives necessarily, but they provide such a feeling of goodness and confidence within me, that they just disappear. I have amethyst in my home, in my vegetable garden and each of the pots for the flowers in both front and back of my home. I believe it provides energy to all. Colours play a role in my relaxation or stimulation too. My front-of-home flowers are bright red, bright yellow, with purple and white combos. They say ‘hello’ and ‘welcome’. My backyard though holds planters with soft yellow, peach and other softer colours. That is where I relax in the summer days and evenings, while eating or reading or just plain enjoying nature and the bird sounds. In this negative world, relaxation might be a challenge at times, but for me, it is similar to a circle. Confidence only embraces me when I am feeling relaxed and with a look at a mountain, the feeling of a stone in my pocket, with seeing nature grow abundantly with the assistance of the amethyst or when I combine nature of other forms of colour, I feel relaxation. And that brings me full circle, to Confidence. #55-Confidence-008
Abilities
I am understanding that every person on earth is born with a special ability that will guide them through their lifetime plus another one or two to assist along the way. A gift, I guess you would call it. An interesting topic of thought for sure. I am no exception of course, so this story is about my ABILITIES. As I was growing up, it was a wonder to me how people figured out what they wanted to do with their life and how to go about it. How would I do that? With guidance from my parents as to what type of schooling I would be getting, based on finances available of course, it was soon discovered that administrative work would be mine. I enjoy this ability and it is coming in handy these days. However, along came the opportunity of learning about energy healing. I have written a story about the hands and how magical they are. I did so much of that healing with these hands of mine, that I started feeling the changes, some of what appeared to be more damaging than healing, but that lead me to have emotional releases so the healing could take place. I had never heard of such a thing previously, but I sure ended up experiencing them. It introduced me to past life situations that were still affecting me in a lot of variant modes of my thoughts, my feelings and my prejudices. For example, I wasn’t able to light a match and I was deeply opposed to pornography and sexual abuse. A lot of little things that just add up to who we are emotionally. I needed to change those thoughts with positive actions so set about to do just that. What happened then? I discovered I could channel. That simply means that I am able to hear information from specified energy forms, that would enlighten me about myself and the world I live in, and I could, if I wanted to, provide the information to others. Well, it was a gift to me to channel, and I began to learn a lot about life. But I was not confident enough about me and the ability I had, to want to be exposed to many others. It was rather hard to describe what channeling was, so I basically was willing to keep it to small groups. That was then and now I am able to channel through writing out the information and voice channelling comes easily. I gained confidence in my ability usage and here I am today. Wondering why I gained confidence is interesting to me. It is not just using my ability many times I discovered. I required the ability to receive information from one level of energy such as the universal and make certain the content and the message is able to be understood at the earth level. It is an ability that goes along with the channeling. I thought of the infinity symbol. The universal energy goes counterclockwise, and the earth energy goes clockwise, and my personal energy is the meeting point between the two. So, I am picking up information and guidance from the energy of the universe and utilizing it on the earth. Just like magic. Another ability to go along with the administrative, healing and channeling ones I know about these days. My confidence is pretty secure now within me. I like the feeling! #55-Confidence-005
Fear
The very basis of us as humans is the fact that we are born with abilities which means we are able to build our life on the usage of them. The trick about being a human is that we were not informed that we arrive on earth full of feelings that were not released during our past lifetimes and produced the emotions we now have. Well, it has taken me quite a number of years to find out the truth. Sometimes we might want to use a token of ourselves that could be called an ability, but something holds us back. It is Fear and that is the title of this story. So, my first question was “How do fears become eliminated?” Good question of course. But before I could really eliminate them, I needed to understand how they were formulated and how deep were they inside of me. My first discovery was that all people on earth have a fear of exposure of their inner thoughts and I am no exception. I keep my fears hidden for as long as I allow them to be hidden — it is up to me. I needed to allow my thoughts to come to the surface but I also needed to know if my inner thoughts were positive or negative. More importantly, would I still feel loved if my thoughts were exposed to others. Boy, quite a learning! Because I am ‘detail oriented’, I wasn’t going to just fumble about with something so meaningful to me and yet seemed so entangled. Soon I began with a list of all l had an interest in – such as healing without doctors and medication, natural foods rather than processed foods, love without abuse in relationships, spirituality, and that list was quite long. Then I started another list to find out what fears I had that could come to mind easily – lighting a match, talking in public, being scrutinised by others, were just the beginning. All my fears seemed to bring harm or disaster to my position in life and my inability to receive recognition for whatever I do. Fascinating for sure. But me being me, I figured that I also needed to discover what body part the fear inhabited and what I found out was very interesting. Where did I ache or have physical challenges? It could have been my arms, legs, heart, brain or voice too of course, but most of mine are in the neck. That is because I seemed to have been physically abused over many lifetimes because I wanted to listen via my channeling ability and share the information with others. A somewhat simple request that caused fear in others to the point of their abusing me for having that desire or ability. The neck is the home of the tonsils, thyroid gland, lymph glands, ability to swallow food, the ability to breathe. In other words, the ability to live, essentially. Living by expressing my ability to channel is what I wanted, but fear of reprisal was almost choking me. This is the logical reasoning – putting my discomfort with the ability that causes fear in others, which is turn, causes fear of them in me. So, how does this come together? To rid of the fear within me, I needed to recognize my inner thoughts, then alter them to indicate that I am the one who is in charge of my body and my mind and my emotions. Big step there. But it was an eye opener to recognize that I could really rid of my fears so I could have a better understanding of my abilities and their usage and feel more confident. I have succeeded in life for sure! #55-Confidence-007
Love
There is a word that we use on earth that has many meanings it seems. LOVE is the word. Does it mean between people and their relationships or people and things called possessions or desires? So many ways to think of the word itself. Are we able to have confidence in ourselves because of whom we love, or does it only come about when we love and understand ourselves and begin to really feel comfortable and perhaps confident in that comfort? This is a story entitled LOVE, but it is really about my interpretation of the word itself. When I was young, I felt a form of love for my family – Mom, Dad, my two sisters and brother. It extended to my grandparents and to my aunts and uncles. It was the type of love that was caused by familiarity and appreciation of my surroundings. Acceptance of everyone is included. It was something that just ‘was’ as I grew up. It felt good and natural. Then I grew up and started thinking about romantic love. That sure is a different topic altogether. Who would it be and how would we meet and what would he be like and on and on I could go. Well, the lesson there is twofold. Number one, it happens at the right timing, according to my storyline for mating – I was not in control of that one. Secondly, it was a connection that happens just like magic. I could meet many interesting people, but the one was like a magnet – just wanting to be closer physically, desiring to know more about him and of course, finding him attractive to my eyes and other senses. Love of my children is like no other love available while on earth. It is both magic and a necessity of course, because raising children is not always smooth sailing and it is the love I feel deep inside, that travels through our journey together and all it provides. Love though shows in other aspects of interest in my life. Love of dance, love of water, love of trees that provide shade on a hot day. Love of reading. A feeling of love when seeing a rainbow or a beautiful form of nature via waterfalls. So, I discovered love could describe how I felt with forms of nature, but yet again, it was a magic connection and not something that I could control in any way. A feeling from my heart would describe it. Love of myself is the biggest and best achievement in my life! That came about when I learnt to stand up for myself and no longer tolerated disrespect from others. Add to that stance in life, I found that gaining knowledge about energies, and every level of energy has been open to me, I could learn more about myself. I have an understanding and acceptance of energy enhancements and it is the best of the best and has allowed me to adopt a far healthier attitude about life itself on earth. I have been able to find comfort in finding my ‘place’ in life. I do not know how the word love will be formulated in my future, but it will hold all I have learnt so far in my life and then be magnified by how confident I am about letting the love come from my heart to my world and the world in general. #55-Confidence-006
