The Real Meaning to Giving More Deeply

I woke up this morning with this message “Give more deeply of yourself.”  Immediately, my ego went into over-drive with my victim story.  “What more can I give.  I already have so much going on.  What more do you want from me?”  Thankfully, the loving guidance of my essence came swooping in to remind me that to give more deeply of yourself isn’t the same as doing more!

So the question was, “How could I give more deeply?”  As I took a moment to reflect, I saw how tired I have been now that the holidays are over.  When night comes, I feel wiped out.  I reflected on how some of my silly bedtime rituals of tickle bugs and other important nonsense with the kids have been cut way back.

What I was reminded of was presence.  Maybe you are like me, where you find you have moments of presence and then it slips away. Suddenly you find yourself thinking about what else is on your list of things to do.  Rather than stay in the moment, you find your mind going off into some other place.

Others of you may rarely find presence if you are like I was, an ultimate multi-tasker.  As a parent, I found it challenging not to try to do twenty things at once.  There is so much going on at once that you become good at juggling or sink.  Many of you may feel like that is also the reality of your job as well.  This is where you get addicted to living at a pace that keeps you away from your presence.  Then you find yourself in those rare spare moments that you have, checking your email rather than just being present.

This is why it is important for all of us to ask in each moment “Am I giving deeply of myself?”  In other words, are you fully in the moment?  Are you playing full out in the everyday components of life?

Don’t forget about yourself either.  Are you giving deeply to yourself as well?  Are you listening to your needs?  Are you listening to your feelings and how they are loving guiding you?  This is where many fall short.  You simply aren’t willing to give yourself this loving attention because your ego had you believe there is too much other components to your life that need your attention.  What you are really saying to yourself is that your needs are not that important.

Now ask yourself this, if your needs aren’t that important, can you really be present?  You can’t. If you can’t be present, you really can’t truly give of yourself as you desire. Your needs are going to find some way to be addressed, unconsciously or consciously.  If your needs must find an unconscious way to be met, you will find your efforts being sabotaged.

This is part of the transformation that is occurring this year, to let go of old habits that keep us away from living more fully connected to ourselves.  You give more deeply when you are fully present with yourself first.  Being present with yourself is what allows you to be fully present with others.  This is how we truly and deeply connect.  It is through present connection that you tend to find the fun just by truly being where you are.

You have so many gifts and so much love to give!  Allow your emotions to guide you back to your truth. Your truth has huge plans for you!  What you are hearing allows you more fully understand your essence, which in turn, supports you to truly share of yourself.  You can be more open, more exposed, and more vulnerable.  In doing so, you will find yourself more deeply able to give in ways that bring you the joy and fulfillment your heart craves!

Here’s to you giving of yourself more deeply!  Please share the ways that arise within you to share of yourself in this loving and generous way below.  By giving of yourself through sharing, your heart may inspire another to give more deeply in the same way!

With love and appreciation for your giving heart -

Celebrating the Light!

I had the pure pleasure, on Sunday, watching my kids participate in a Christmas play.  It was so fun seeing them dressed up and sharing their lines with joy and pride!  What was fun about the play was that it had a casual tone, where the story of Christmas was broken down at a level so that even little kids could understand.

Interestingly, what stood out the most in this play was a story of faith.  The type of faith that is required when the guidance you are being given doesn’t make sense to your rational mind.  Then continually finding trust day by day when you don’t know for certain what your future entails.

This process of trust and faith reminds me of what is required of us when we live emotionally conscious.  Your feelings are filled with intuitive wisdom.  Your feelings will give you guidance that may not be the most comfortable step to take.  Often times, the guidance you receive will not make sense to your rational mind.

Living emotionally conscious requires great faith.  At times you probably felt like you were stumbling along in your own darkness.  The point is you kept making steps in the darkness, even though you weren’t exactly sure where it would lead you.  Where this is all leading you, my friend, is back to more of you:

• Your Gifts
• Your Truth
• Your Inner Treasure

Leading you out of this darkness is your light.  Your light is the part of you that wants you to see the gifts to every single part of you.  The light within you is what allows you to recognize how aspects of yourself that your ego rejects are the exact aspects you need to serve the world.  These aspects will simply react differently when they are treated from a place of love rather than fear.

As we now enter into the darkest day of the year, in the Northern Hemisphere, we celebrate the light moving forward.  That is why the Winter Solstice is such an honored time of year because we are welcoming in the light, both the light of the sun and the light within you.   The light within you will continue to encourage you to see all aspects of you through love rather than fear.

So whether you light the menorah, wrap up your Christmas tree in lights, or want to honor the sun for bringing forward longer daylight hours, what is clear is that this is a time to celebrate light.  This time of year is a celebration of finding the light in the darkness.  The light is always present to guide you, regardless of how dark it may seem.  Light, like love, always exists.

This holiday, celebrate the light within you and the light within others.  Trust in your light and it will shine even more brightly.  In return, you will be sharing your light with others without even knowing you are doing so.  Naturally you light comes pouring forth simply because you had the courage to have trust and faith.

This holiday season, may you remember:

*You too are a miracle.

*You too are a beacon of light.

*You too are meant to use your love and light to serve the world.

*You too are an instrument of peace and love.

 

May your light shine brightly in trust, faith and love this holiday season!

Dance to Your Heart’s Song

I know turning 40 usually means checking out wrinkles and freaking out about aging.  I see the fine lines (some deeper than others truth be told) but they just seem so boring compared to the song that is in my heart that wants me to jump in and DANCE with reckless abandon!   There is a song that is playing in all of our hearts.  Some of you may be just hearing it for the first time, while others of you know it so well, yet you’ve been hesitant to go  all in or maybe you haven’t felt adequately prepared to learn a new, more intricate dance move that is an integral part of your song’s full expression.

There is a way, however, to figure out what is being called for you to do next that is coming from your song.  All you need to do is being willing to see the one area of your life that your heart has longed to create change toward and hasn’t been able to make it happen.  This is your next step, the next move for you to master.   You do this by following these steps on how to more fully      dance to your heart’s song:

1. List out the reasons and ways you have tried to make that change happen that didn’t work.
2. Honestly reflect how those attempts have made you feel.  Oftentimes we get into a story that turns us into the victim or poor me.  If you see this, this is great for two reasons:  a) because you are not denying it & b) because that is where you have room to claim more of your power.
3. In what way would it feel good for you to take more responsibility toward creating the change that you desire?
4. What is your song leading you to do next?
5. How does it make you feel when you listen to your song’s lead?
6. In what way do you try to tear apart and void out messages in #3, 4 or 5?
7. What is getting you closer to your goal, following #2 & #6 or sticking with #3, #4 & #5?
8. Claim and affirm your choice.  Set up reminders that support your new decision and new level of responsibility toward your life!

Here is how this has played out in my life recently.  I have longed to create greater financial stability and savings in my life.  Even though I tried to live consciously regarding how I spent money, I didn’t feel like I was getting where I wanted to when it came toward saving for our retirement and college or being able to comfortably afford international travel with my family.  My past failed attempts made me feel like saving and investing weren’t my forte and so I put them on my husband to worry about, after all, he did that naturally =)!  “Plus,” I told myself “I trust I will always be taken care of by God/Universe.”  Yet, deep down,  a part of me knew I wasn’t doing my part.

When I asked myself how I can begin taking more responsibility, I came to realize the power I had to set an even stronger tone in my family toward living in greater alignment with our core desires and values.  When I listened more fully to my song, what I heard was an even stronger desire to serve and lead at a new level.  This made me feel energized, alive and excited about my path.  My song gave me even greater clarity.  Right then, I knew the old reasons that told us we were already doing enough were really just excuses.  My husband and I set new boundaries around our spending AND that we would affirm our songs by asking each other two questions each night: Did you serve today?  Did you lead today?

I can’t tell you how inspiring it feels to take action toward living in even greater alignment to our hearts’ songs.  We celebrated by going down to Lake Michigan with a bottle of wine, chips and salsa, talking for hours.  It was a super inexpensive date indeed, but one of our best ever!

No matter what age you are, you too can listen in more closely to your heart’s song.  Listen to what it is reminding you about yourself and how you can live your life.  Then DANCE full-out along with it!

Dancing together in love, leadership and service,

 

PS: Ever read Oriah Mountain Dreamer’s “The Dance”?  I have it in my office and encourage you to check it out for additional inspiration to DANCE to your heart’s song!

 

 

Move out of Control and into Flow

Oh my goodness, so many of us love to control, plan out, and analyze– all of which are great qualities to have. Yet, let’s face it, too much “thinking things through” can also lead to stagnation and even boredom. Rather than letting our logical, rational brain have full control of our lives, we need balance.

To achieve a more balanced state, we need to consciously choose to shift gears from always pushing or forging ahead to opening ourselves up to a state of allowing, which is often called “flow.” From a flow state, there is room for spontaneity, intuition and creativity to come forward.

If this sounds too touchy-feely, or all fun and games, it isn’t. Although a flow state is known to occur for more artistic types, athletes, sales people, even doctors have shared how they enter a “flow zone.” In this zone, you feel “on,” where you trust what is coming forward from inside of you and lose yourself in the process. The result is you are more effective at what you do.

My guess is you are wondering “How on earth do I make that happen?” Well, here’s the deal – you can’t make flow happen. Flow is an authentic state that cannot be forced. There are, however, ways you can encourage more flow states in your life.

Here’s my top 3 Ways to Shift from Control to Flow:

#1 Listen to Your Feelings

I can’t say this enough – those who are in the know when it comes to personal growth recognize emotions as a HUGE, POWERFUL ALLY! Too often times, you ignore or set aside feelings because, well, you don’t like what they are saying. Let’s face it, feelings, especially those that challenge you, can occur at inconvenient times. A much easier approach is to ignore, deny or try to rise above what you feel. In doing so, however, you are not aligning yourself with your authentic self. Instead, you are subconsciously judging and unconsciously choosing fear. Your fear is in what these feelings mean to you, or what they bring up within you that you don’t like.

There is another choice, which is to listen to your feelings from a higher consciousness perspective. From a higher consciousness perspective, challenging feelings are viewed as a signal with an underlying message that is present to support you. In this way, you can stay true to how you feel without getting lost in fear or ego drama. What this is doing is actually moving your internal energy from a place that doesn’t serve and stifles you to one in which your internal energy flows in congruence with your higher self.

From a higher consciousness understanding, your feelings are present to get you back in alignment with your authentic self. Challenging feelings indicate you are buying into fear more than your truth. They also give you the direction you need to move back in alignment with your authentic self. By learning to follow the higher consciousness message, you create internal balance. From this place of internal balance, there is room for passion, new insight and energy to come through – all of which are present to support you to live from a flow state more and more often.

#2 Prioritize Your Essence

Listen to your essence – that authentic, wise, love-filled part of you. What does that aspect of you desire? This part of you often gets ignored (sometimes for years!). Let’s face it, you have responsibilities that are always seeking and winning your attention. I am not talking about being irresponsible here. You still have things that need to get done yet, who says joy, play and your essence can’t come first?

#3 Practice Allowing

What do you like to control or plan? What would it be like for you to let go of the grip a bit? Rather than go, go, go how about rest, observe, listen and witness? Make room for spontaneity and see what life can bring you.

Just compare the two pictures and decide which feels more fulfilling, abundant and power-filled.   Allow your essence to be your guide that you trust over your ego’s need to control and in turn experience more of you and the life your heart desires to create!

Thank you so much for connecting with me here. I am happy to be on this journey with you!

Surrender to the Green Beans

One of my early spiritual teachers shared with me a story about her process of training to become a shaman.  She had traveled all over the world, learning from amazing spiritual masters.  Part of her last leg of preparation was working in a spiritual community, where each member of the community performed a certain task that would benefit the whole.  This task was assigned based on the inherent gifts each member had, as well as what would task was believed to most benefit each member’s spiritual growth and evolution.  With all her travels and through everything she had learned, she had secretly hoped she would have an “important” function.

What did her role turn out to be?  Her very important and oh so exclusive role was preparing shuck beans!  Umm, not exactly what she imagined.

Still she took on the task, thinking quickly it would be changed.  But after a few weeks of doing this, she grew incredibly bored and decided to mention something to the person who assigned tasks.  He assured her that preparing the beans the best place for her and where she was meant to be.

She would then go back to doing her work but she wasn’t enjoying it in the least.  She decided each week, she’d check in to see if she could be assigned a different task, something that would expand her gifts.  And each week, she was told again and again, green beans are where you are meant to be.

After months went by with the same rejection week after week, she reflected on how her strategy of trying to assert herself into a different position was not working.  She decided to dedicate herself whole-heartedly to preparing the green beans and let go of what she thought she ought to be doing instead.  She found herself becoming lost in the process she had learned so well.  At first it felt like a form of meditation and then it blossomed even further to have its own melody.  Soon she found herself signing as she performed her tasks.  Others noticed how happy and at peace she was.  It was then that she was told she had completed her task well and it was time for her to share all she has learned out into the world.

Although her heart had known for a long time she was going to be a spiritual teacher, she had not received all the lessons that would make her teachings fulfilling to her.  Her ego was trying to push and force the change that her heart so deeply wanted to create.  Yet, the heart’s language is not push, it is flow.  It is an internal melody that is found when you surrender to your current reality.

So many times when we reach this point when life isn’t working out as planned, we turn our backs on the tasks before us.   We want to say, “To hell with it!”  Or maybe you fall back into an old pattern of behavior that isn’t working, yet feels comfortable to you.

Do not confuse surrender with giving up.  The tasks are there for a reason –  to prepare you to share your gifts.  This doesn’t mean life is going to stay this way, as your ego would like you to believe.  If your ego, is like mine, it wants to get on with it and keep moving forward.   However, if you find yourself stuck, yet again, that is a sure sign there is something you are missing that will support you to move forward.  That is when you are being called to find acceptance in what this moment is trying to teach you.  Ask yourself “What do I need to learn about why my relationships, career, finances, physical health or whatever your current challenge is in this present moment?”

You will find your spirit/essence/authentic self is guiding you, once the pushy, assertiveness of your ego is witnessed.  Then it is your choice as to which voice you are going to follow.  When you whole-heartedly choose your essence, your ego’s job has been completed with this task and let’s go of the deep grip it had on you.  That is when you realize that your essence will always be the more difficult voice to trust, yet it is the only path to reap the rewards of your heart’s desires.  Til this day, I have kept a jar of baby food green beans on my meditation table to remind me to surrender to my own life’s unfolding by choosing my essence rather than my ego to be my guide.

The Tree by Carlene Roberts

It started as a seed,

And at first was mistaken for a weed.

It felt so very small,

But always stood up tall.

When left alone to grow,

Its life energy began to flow.

The earth offered nurturance and love,

And the sun offered light and warmth from above.

The rain gave it nourishment,

As the wind offered encouragement.

All these combined to create a life force,

And then the circle of life simply took its course.

And then one day its strength and life burst forth with such might,

Its splendor and beauty beheld such a sight.

Then it merged with the earth and they became one,

It reflected the light and warmth back to the sun.

Its leaves gave the rain and wind a voice,

Together they had all made a choice.

They had joined together and turned the seed into a beautiful tree,

And it was indeed a breathtaking sight to see.

For as they all joined together as one,

They had created a harmony that could not be undone by anyone.

So if ever you feel weak and small,

Or feel like you’re about to fall,

Look around you and you will see

The strength and beauty of this tree.

Believe in yourself and don’t give up,

And realize that you’ve just hit a bump.

Stop and just simply be,

Find your life energy and set it free.

Then stand up to what you fear,

And pull your loved ones near.

There is more to this life than just you and me,

There is more than what you simply see.

Open yourself up and feel the power,

That exists even in the smallest flower.

And you will find the strength to stand up tall,

And no longer be afraid you’ll fall.

For within us all lies beauty, strength and light,

That you don’t find just with your sight.

Open yourself up and join as one,

And let your guide be the sun.

Don’t think about tomorrow,

Be true to yourself and it will follow.

Think of the seed that turned into a beautiful tree,

And let your spirit soar free.

And you will feel yourself straighten and stand up tall,

And never again will you feel small.

Remember it all started with a seed,

That once was mistaken for a weed.

QUIZ: HOW MUCH OF YOUR ENERGY GOES TOWARD WANTING TO BE LIKED?

The desire to be liked, well-thought of and respected is a common desire in women and men alike.   However, too many of you are likely giving away too much of your energy and yourself in order to have this desire met.  This desire may be consistently present in all areas of your life, or just focused on one area such as with those you interact with at work, your friendships, your intimate partnership/marriage or even random encounters with others.    When this occurs, it means you have an energy leak on your hands that is keeping you away from fully expressing your highest version of you!

Take this quick quiz to determine how much of your energy you give away to be liked and what this means for you.

The following questions should be answered with the following choices:

Often (The majority of the time)

Occasionally (About half the time)

Seldom (Rarely – less than a handful of times a year)

1. How often do you alter your behavior or words to come across as more likeable or accepted by others?
2. How often do you worry about what you said after having a conversation with someone?
3. How often do you feel misunderstood?
4. How often do you feel a need to self-protect?
5. How often do you feel concerned about others potentially judging you?
6. How often do you struggle with remaining present and focused on another when conversing because you feel self-conscious?
7. How often do you feel apprehensive to share how you really feel?

What your responses mean:

If the majority of your answers were responded with “Often,” this means:

Your energy is subconsciously geared toward fear of your true self rather than self-love, acceptance and approval.  To live your life more freely and at peace, it is time for you to address what you really feel about yourself.  Ask yourself: What are you judging about you?  What aspects of yourself do you not fully understand and therefore hide?  It is time to unravel the shame you carry toward you!

If the majority of your answers were responded with “Occasionally,” this means:

Certain situations are energy leaks for you.  Although you have worked through some blocks in the past, there is still a core aspect that needs your attention and nurturance.  To understand more about your ego block, ask yourself: What types of people or situations trigger your defenses?  What is the sense of lack that you believe in during those moments or situations?  Although you don’t feel completely drained by your energy leaks, it is important for you to find the leak in order to have the internal energy to empower you to be your highest version of you!

If the majority of your answers were responded with “Seldom,” this means:

You are living your life authentically because you have very few times when your energy leaks toward fear.   This means you know and are connected to your inner wisdom and truth very intimately, which is a beautiful way to live!   As a person committed to consciously evolving and growing, you will still encounter fears.  Keep utilizing F.E.E.L: Feel Every Emotion as Love to guide you back to your truth when those occasions happen or you find yourself in an emotional “growth-spurt!”

Additional Optional Recommendations

If the majority of your answers were “Often,” personal support would be a great option for you.  Currently you have core beliefs that are more aligned with your false self rather than your authentic self, which personal support can help you shift.  If you are interested in personal work with me, please fill out my evaluation form and I’ll get back to you shortly. http://michellebersell.com/evaluation-form/

If the majority of your answers were “Occasionally,” you won’t have energy to give toward your potential, when your energy is being leaked.  Nip your energy leaks in the bud through my F.E.E.L. Virtual Mastery Home Study Program.  This is the perfect program to support you to pull the blinders away from your ego blocks!  http://www.michellebersell.com/feel/

If the majority of your answers were “Seldom,” keep doing what you are doing!  Find continued inspiration through events (both live and virtual) with like-minded people to keep your spirit recharged and energized!

Live Emotionally Conscious – Live Exceptionally Well,

How to Gain Greater Inner Confidence

I have the ability to appear confident when inside, I don’t feel that way.  It sounds like a good thing, but is it?  The period in my life in which people commented the most about how self-confident I was, was actually a time in my life that I felt the most insecure.  Here lies the problem – when you are trying to project the image of confidence, you don’t feel it inside you.  In fact, whatever you are trying to project about yourself comes from a place of lack within you.  On the other hand, when you truly feel confident, you don’t worry about projecting confidence.  You feel confident and that is all that matters to you.  Energetically, this makes a world of difference as to how well you are able to make deeper, richer and more meaningful connections in the world.

So, today’s tips are not about how to fake confidence but to really gain inner confidence.  Inner confidence allows energy to flow from you.  The result is you authentically feel good about who you are and the gifts you bring to the world through your presence, without even trying!

4 Steps to Gain Greater Inner Confidence:

1. Take risks – Be willing to do things you aren’t good at, where you lack skill and where you have the opportunity to learn.  That is after all what expansion is all about and what your spirit really enjoys experiencing.  It is a part of living that leads to exhilarating moments that make you feel alive.  Ego worries about messing up or being perfect, shut you down, make life boring & predictable and not fun =(

2. Don’t judge or compare yourself to others.  Judgment is ego based.  We all have to start building up a skill.  Image if you saw a baby learning to take her/his first steps and you were critiquing the kid on not doing it right or well.  Keep this image with you as you take your next step toward your heart’s desire.  Remember notions such as  “ I should know how to do this by myself” or “This should be easier” are ego messages.

3. Don’t try to project something that you are not feeling: This is an advanced step to take when you want to truly live emotionally conscious and authentic.  Your tendency is to pull out the false self when you feel fear.  We all do it.  Instead, allow yourself to be who you are in that moment.

One of my long-time mentors is Sonia Choquette.   I remember a story she shared a long time ago.  She was doing a presentation in front of business people, which were typically not the type of people interested in having a psychic speak.  She started off by saying to them “You scare me.” In turn they responded, “You scare us!”  They shared a big laugh and most importantly Sonia’s willingness to be authentic allowed them to connect.  If she would have pretended to be confident, the energy would have been much different.  The reason is because there would have been unconscious defensiveness that would have inhibited the relationship formed, as well as the degree participants were able to receive Sonia’s guidance.

4. Honor what you authentically have got going for you: Another advanced step is to set aside what you feel you lack and focus in on that which you are authentically feeling that feels supportive.  Maybe you aren’t feeling confident, but you feel excited or perhaps more attuned to others, even humble.  Honor the gift this feeling brings forward within you and the uniqueness of the connection it offers.

What these steps do is provide you with ways to authentically gain inner confidence.  What you are doing through these steps is choosing your essence/authentic self over your fears and ego blocks.  The more you do, the more inner confidence you generate, the better you feel and connections are made easier and effortlessly!

How to deal with annoying people

Get the latest Flash Player to see this player.

Ahh, we all encounter someone from time to time that pushes an internal button and, like most of us, you will find the person annoys the heck out of you.  Recently, I was asked to appear on FOX to answer how to address this common, yet irritating issue.  To find resolve, follow this 5 step plan to let go of your internal button:

1. Understand Your Reaction: What is my reaction about?  What am I defending?

2. Me, be defensive?: You defend that which feels vulnerable.  What is that vulnerability in you that you don’t want others to see?

3. Acceptance: How can you apply greater acceptance and  non-judgment to that vulnerablity?  What is the benefit to you having this vulnerability?

4. Tell the Difference between Truth vs Falsehood: What about having that vulnerability isn’t true that feels inappropriately put on you?

5. Honor More of You: By acknowledging the truth vs the falseness to what is pushing your button, you are able to honor yourself more fully.  In other words, you create further acceptance of yourself, which allows you to more honestly discriminate what is and is not your truth.  As you share your acceptance and clarity with the person who once annoyed you, you will find your internal button diminishing right before your eyes!

Live Emotionally Conscious & Exceptionally Well,

Good vs Bad Ego

I received a letter last week that I felt was very poignant to being able to raise your consciousness & utilize all your internal power to support you to live an even more fulfilling life.  The letter was from Asma Raja, in which she wrote to me perplexed as to my interview I shared last week on Fox News where I stated that the ego has a purpose.  From what she has learned about the ego from Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth is that the ego is bad news, something we need to work to cease through meditation and prayer.

Let me first start out by stating that I truly love Eckhart Tolle’s work.  He very clearly shares the numerous ways in which your ego wreaks havoc on your life.  Tolle’s work is vital to awakening people to recognize how much the ego has been allowed to manipulate our lives.   The awakening Tolle brings forth in his new book is much needed, yet it is only a beginning.  There are more steps to take toward emotional consciousness because the problem is not with the ego itself, it is in your overuse of the ego.

After reading Tolle’s book the typical response is a desire to blame your ego for your life’s troubles and challenges.  Believe it or not, this desire to judge your ego actually comes from your ego!  Remember, even Tolle shares that the ego causes separation.  The ego is what creates this view of separation and then judges what is a good part of you and what is a bad (or not good) part.  In this case, your ego wants you to believe that the ego is bad and you should work to raise your consciousness high enough in order for it not to exist.  The ego knows that as soon as judgment occurs, a battle begins in which you consciously and unconsciously try to fight off that which you judge.  In doing so, the ego wins because your energy is being used up to try to rid that which you judge rather than your energy going toward more of your potential being revealed.

F.E.E.L.: Feel Every Emotion as Love™ encourages you to raise your consciousness beyond the ego standpoint to see everything, including your ego through the eyes of love.  Through the standpoint of love, you recognize the purpose as to why your ego exists.  Your ego exists as your ultimate guide back to claiming your fullest potential. Working with, rather than fighting against, your ego, you recognize how your ego is present to serve you to recognize more of your truth, light and gifts you have to offer.  Utilizing this viewpoint of love accelerates your efforts, along with the meditation and prayers you offer.   Then negative emotions, fear and ego are no longer toxic when you are no longer reacting to them.   The result of love consciousness is you now have tools that give you greater insight, clarity and energy, which have been squandered away and hidden by judgment.

Love is always the path to end the separation that your ego wants you to believe in.  If we want to end the separation in the world and create peace, we must find peace within ourselves.  This peace occurs with understanding that there is not one single part of you that needs to be judged – not your ego, your negative feelings or your fears.  Once you recognize and apply this degree of love to your life, you are living the next step toward emotional consciousness.  Only then the ego sees that it is no longer needed and lets go of its hold.  This is the peaceful way of resolving ego tension so you can shine more fully and abundantly with greater ease!
