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.
Energy Connections
Why do some aspects in life feel important? What is the importance? Why am I smiling and have a warmth in my heart when I resonate with an object of importance? When I gaze back at different aspects of my life, it is interesting to note what had appeal. I now believe they are Energy Connections – That is the title of my story this time. Energy Connections. When I was introduced to Reiki, a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy, I connected with it immediately for the healing of myself and others. BUT, it turned out to be the beginning of recognizing the connection to everything I enjoy about my life. It expanded to my five senses, and it meant that when I looked at something that drew my attention, there was a ‘connection’. I wasn’t sure it was an energy connection at first because I was new to the concepts of energy. As an example, when I am purchasing my flowers and plants for my boxes and pots, my attraction to red geraniums came about at the first planting and has been with me ever since, which is many, many summers. It needs to be red of course. But then again, I have red highlights in two rooms in my home. I feel a connection that brings a smile to me. Red clothing, not so much. Another faction of my life is the enjoyment of birds and their many songs, sounds and colours but the owl is the most prominent. It doesn’t matter if it is real, or a photo or a painting, the owl is my draw. They tickle my fancy. When I was just a child, I had connection with a stone I picked up, and I was able to throw it at a target and get a bullseye connection. The thought, the stone, the destination and my success is just another energy connection. I haven’t used this one much at all since then. Another connection is with food. Broccoli in a salad, apple slice that provides both moisture and taste, an orange that is juicy and sweet. It is a positive connection most times, but potato chips and chocolate are taste sensations that depict the negative aspects of energy, so it is best for me not to think of them as a good energy connection. Mainly because they are savoured when I know I am emotional, otherwise I do not even think about them. I also seem to have a connection with the moon. Even when I was a child coming home in the car, I felt like the moon was following us because it was there coming in the back window where I was sitting all the way home. Loved it and still feel the same way as an adult! Energy connections happen without my thinking about what each aspect means to me. It just is and it is wonderful. I now recognize how valuable all my energy connections are to bringing me a sense of myself, a confidence in knowing what is important to me and in the understanding that everything is energy and therefore there is a connection between us, via my five senses, my heart and the feeling of the connection energy-wise. #55-Confidence-004
Hands are Magic
This story I am about to tell you, is one that comes from my heart as well as my tongue, not because it is amazing, or unusual or a fun happening. It is because it literally has changed my life. I became more of me. I was enchanted, intrigued and blessed, all at the same timing. The title of my story is: Hands are magic. My hands convey energy from the universe, which in turn means healing for me on earth. It is a story of my introduction to energy healing. I was introduced to Reiki, which is a Japanese word for Universal Life Energy, in 1986. It changed my life and how I was living it. You see, I was fascinated with it because it could heal all of me – not just my physical body but the other bodies as well – those being mental, emotional, sexual, financial and spiritual. I did not need to think about anything at all, as the energy through my hands will go to the place in my body that requires it. Just like magic. It comes into me via the top of my head and down into my hands. And it’s free. Now, that is a gift for sure! The confidence in myself increased, the ability to heal myself and others has increased remarkably. I have my hands 24 hours per day and my body is attached to them, so anytime I wish, ha-ha, I am able to have an increased amount of universal life energy. Not only a gift to myself but a sense of confidence arrives with it. Life does not get better than that! These magical hands are able to heal plants, pets and people – whatever they require to be healed at that timing, of course. The healing ability via my hands is a gift to me and all I need do is respect the process, ask for energy healing, wait a few minutes with my hands on the place of my choice and let it happen. Whatever my bodies require at that moment is what will be touched by the energy. Magical hands that heal me. A beautiful story to share. #55-Confidence-001
Breath
I ask myself what is the most important aspect in my life? Something I have a tendency to not even think about it until lately. My life depends on my ability to breathe. This story is about my noticing how important it is – for me and all who are living on earth. Where do I get it and when and how and all other questions that could be asked to understand a little better how fortunate I am, not having experienced breathing challenges. So this story is entitled Breath. Do I take my breath for granted? Do I consider my breath to be a gift? Wise questions at this timing because the air quality is altering and it means life. Along with my learning about energy itself and the healing that is possible, the breath can definitely be taken for granted. It really is a gift, and it is provided to us when we are born and will be taken away when it is time to leave the earth. It provides me with a sense of confidence in the world as I know it, my connection with the universe, as well as a sense of confidence in myself as a person. It seems like an interesting connection, but I just think of how I would feel if I had a challenge with breathing – I wouldn’t feel much confidence or comfort then. My breathing provides the air to come into my physical body, and it means the beat of my heart, my physical mobility and the very essence of me. Rather important! Sometimes I can take breathing for granted until the air is polluted with smoke and all of a sudden, it is not taken for granted. A wake-up call for me perhaps, to cherish my very breath. The air helps me think, it helps keep my emotions at a comfortable level and I understand that it keeps my blood flowing and my energy flowing. So, there are no detriments to my need for breath. So how can I cherish the air more? By breathing deeply and allowing it to do its job fully. I do deep breathing each morning and evening. So many ways to do it of course – breathe through the nose in and out, breathe through the mouth in and out, or a combination. 1.I stand and put my arms out to the side and take deep breaths and that involves my heart, so the blood and the energy in my body flow better. In through the nose and out through the mouth works wonders in that stance. 2.I sit on the floor, so as I breathe, I am receiving some of the earth energy at the same timing. In that situation I do the breath in and out of the mouth. 3.Every now and again I join with others to deep breathe and do it to forms of music to help the breathing keep going. In that situation I am laying down, and it might last for 30-45 minutes. That really has the inner body alert and altering. I have found that the deep breathing cleanses the body in many ways – thoughts, emotions and physical challenges are all assisted in a positive form. Each type of extra breathing I do increases my ability to breathe more efficiently on a regular basis. I understand it cleanses the body in some fashions and that is an added gift. I am important to me and therefore am assisting myself in one of the most basic aspects of my life. #55-Confidence-002
Thoughts & Physical Beings
Lately I have wondered how my body became what it is today. Yes, I could say it was just from living day after day after so many years, but that didn’t seem to be an answer that was legitimate. So, after pondering about it all and gazing at others and recognizing we all look different in some ways, I came to the concept that it was about my DNA and family traits. Then I was thinking about me personally and that I allowed my body to become the result of my thoughts. Does that sound a bit odd? Maybe it is, but this story is all about Thoughts & Physical Beings. What a title for my story! I figure they go together because my thoughts are definitely influencing my body. Due to the changes in energy vibrational rates of the earth and therefore me, it makes perfect sense that my body will be able to look and be younger! Why? Because as I eliminate emotions, my thoughts become more positive rather than being burdened by those emotions, and I have more pure energy within me. An increase in energy means a decrease in my emotional baggage or it should work that way if my thoughts go along with that influence. Those emotions are what cause the challenges in my physicality. That is a fact. Our emotions will attach themselves to varying parts of the physical body and that is why we have diseases and other ailments. So, accepting positive thoughts and ridding of emotions definitely allows my physical body to be healed. Assisting this idea along, I recognize that my physical body is the only place I have to live at this moment in timing. My body is my home. So let me fix that. Here come the thoughts to assist. Fact – if my body is in bad shape, it is not a good home to be living in. How did it get that way? By being taken for granted perhaps. My goal was to gaze at my body with improvement of it in mind. But it meant I needed to change a few items in my life to rid of the baggage first and use the extra energy supply. I needed a mission in order to accomplish this step, which I decided was ‘Allow the energies to change in the world and I will do the same thing’. First, I changed my food intake to just what nature offers me – fruits, vegetables and proteins. No grains because they are genetically modified and harm rather than help. Then, I asked my body what movements it would like to do. My body and thoughts made the decision that swimming would be a priority and walking a second option and biking being the third. Weather dictates the bike riding possibilities, but it is still in my options. No need for me to be a couch potato – from now on, I can do some type of physical movement on each day. So many options to choose from that allows the body to move and feel the flexibility within it. Even snow shovelling became part of my new thoughts – are maybe that is just a definite that needs to be done – but it now part of me being active. Now that my mission has taken many steps in the right direction, I am indeed feeling more flexible, more confident in my choices, and am toning the body itself, but most important, is that my thoughts are becoming clearer and more readily understood and implemented. I have discovered that my thoughts do influence my physical body and go hand-in-hand with how I am aging. And I am also receiving comments about how young I look for my age. Yay Team! #55-Confidence-003
