The light went off. My book, “Walking Through Pain to Purpose: Turning Trauma into Triumph,” was a story of the steppingstones that enabled me to reach deeper, to see more clearly and realize that I had to do the work within at a different level of understanding. The stories within the pages of my book represented my past and the lessons that were intended for my growth. Now, I am stepping into the future. The stairs within that staircase have led me on a journey to a new beginning, of not just to know, but to know how.
It has been a while since my post of last June. New beginnings have occurred both inside and out. My husband Neil and I have moved out of our house of over 20 years in Scottsdale. It is now a beautiful Vrbo home called “The Tuscany.” We moved to Puerta Vallarta last December. It’s a piece of paradise on the Pacific coast of Mexico overlooking the Banderas Bay or Bahia de Banderas. We still have our haven, surrounded by the pines in Munds Park, Arizona. We plan to spend our summers in Munds Park, while spending the winters in Puerta Vallarta.
I was blessed that we were able to create a support system in Arizona to manage our responsibilities there. This gave us the freedom for this beautiful new beginning. Both Jack and Brianna are attending college and loving life. We are grateful that our children are able to visit often, and we can share our summers together.
This was a big transition. After launching my book in April of 2022, and since my last post, I have been in survival mode. So much change! (LOL) I recently gave myself the space and permission to reengage in the work of myself and my growth. I started meditating again, and, in the stillness, I realized that many of the same behaviors that were not healthy for me, were repeating themselves. I wasn’t taking care of myself and was behaving unconsciously in old familiar patterns. The patterns that I discussed in my book; the complaining, the people pleasing, the martyring, the rushing, and the thinking that if things or people on the outside of me changed that all would be ok. I was watching the news and reading material that fed any anger or resentment that I was feeling. I wasn’t doing any work within that would remind me about my goals and who I aspired to be. My meditations allowed me to remember once again, that it was me that had to change in order to heal. Even though I was living in paradise, the same old thinking, was still bringing up the many of the same unhealthy behaviors. I would get triggered and I would react in the same manner that I always had. When I recognized that I had to make this work my most important priority, what showed up for me was Dr. Joe Dispenza!
For those not familiar with Dr. Dispenza’s work, he is teaching others how to use the latest discoveries from neuroscience and quantum physics to reprogram their brains, heal illness, and lead more fulfilling lives.
I have seen Dr. Joe speak many times over the years. I have always loved his work. His more recent work is even deeper. As he continues to evolve, he shares his work by teaching workshops and lectures all over the world. Dr. Joe is changing lives. I can proudly say, this is now my work, every day, I am DOING it and LOVING it!!!!! I knew I was missing something, and thankfully I found it!!!! YouTube is now my new best friend. The good news is, his remarkable work is available to everyone, and it’s free.
I have been studying spiritual teachings for many years, as you know from my book. But what I began to recognize is that I was knowing, but I was not doing. Wisdom cannot be taught; it must come from within us. I understand that now. We must change our unconscious patterns. Incredibly, 95% of our behavior each day is unconscious. Only 5% of our personalities are conscious to us! (Yes, this has been scientifically proven. Google it). If we tap into that 95%, the ability to control our own outcomes becomes a reality. This will not happen overnight. It takes work. We must work each day on our journey within. Just like you must keep working out to stay in shape. Your mind also has to work out, otherwise, it too, will become flabby. Making our inner selves a priority each day can help us be more conscious of what we want for ourselves. The joy and abundance we all long for can become our reality.
I have studied many other teachers with the same message, many are the greatest spiritual teachers and leaders throughout our history. Their teachings all come from the same consciousness and truth. Millions of people around the world know this truth, that it’s all within ourselves! I am grateful that I now understand, we must not just know, we must know how. The energy and peace that radiates within each one of these enlightened teachers, gives me the courage and the will to learn and grow from them and their teachings. Below are some of my favorites that I have been studying in recent years that are popular today.
Dr. Joe Dispenza, Bruce Lipton, Ph.D, Michael Neill, Sydney Banks, Joe Bailey, Greg Braden, Eckart Tolle, Anita Moorjani, Gary Zukav, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Michael Singer and Matt Kahn.
They may have different ways of expressing their message, but the message is the same; we must go within to become our best selves.
In the last chapter of my book, I wrote, “I’m writing to be free.” I realized I was writing to Know it. Now it is time to DO it, so I can actually be FREE. As I mentioned, lately I have been working more with Dr. Joe’s work and meditations. I believe his work helps us more in the doing, instead of the knowing. The meditations with Dr. Joe Dispenza are enormously powerful. I highly recommend them and suggest listening with headphones (better noise cancellation.)
If you are interested in changing your thoughts and behaviors, it is important to do the work both through study and meditation. Just finding that half-hour to an hour each day, can result in opening the door to more happiness and abundance. Dr. Joe frequently expresses that you can do this work through his many podcasts and books. It is my believe that Dr. Joe’s intention is to share this information with everyone who seeks it. So much so, that he’s made it available on YouTube for FREE!
If you are looking for a more in-depth and in-person experience, his organization puts on amazing events. They are not free! I love the work so much, that I have signed up to take his online course and I am currently on a wait list to attend one of his 7-day intensives. Some great friends of mine have attended his 7-day events and have told me of the many miracles that occur. I think it will be amazing.
I have absolutely no doubt that I’m already making shifts in my patterns and behavior. I am so grateful that I gave myself permission to explore this work. Today, I am putting my own happiness first. Allowing myself to learn is exciting. I plan to be an A+ student. I feel more than grateful that I can share it with you.
I pray that my light within shines more inside and out, as I make my spiritual journey, my priority. I hope I love more, I hope I give more and hope I continue to grow more. Nothing is more important than how we feel inside. I think the world would be a wonderful place if everyone knew that they are in control of obtaining such happiness and abundance. Until the next time, my whispers for now…..
May We All Listen to the Wisdom of Our Whispers
With Love,
Lynn
