Stop acting like a girl version 2

Updated

Question of the day,

Authenticity, what is it? How do you put yourself out there? How do we know when we are being authentic or when we are acting the way society expects us to act? After all we have had some great teachers that have been taught by great teachers how to kill our truth. Hide that dam joy, stop acting like a girl.
You will never get anywhere in this life if you can’t compete with the men. Well baby I competed and I did pretty good. In fact I proved that I work harder and have less fears than most. Well at least I pushed past them and got the job done. I look back at some of the positions I put myself in. Ya, HA HA I got that. But seriously. I walked on a cat walk four stories up two feet wide with no safety harness. I use to climb the three story ladder to fix siding while the guy held the ladder because he was too scared to climb. I proved myself. Which is why I also moved up in the Management hierarchy.
Move to present day and I am amazed how women over the past thirty years have competed in this world. Yes I have to use the word competed because that is what we did. I am now aware that we do not have to compete in fact competing is what has kept us down. Competing is the negative side of business.  Now yes women have moved mountains in the past thirty or so years, but I want to say that I believe that there is a definite shift happening with women in business whether you are working in a major corporation or are an entrepreneur. The call for your authentic self is being screamed by the universe and it is so important that it is heard.
I recently attended an event I was surprised to find myself at and from that I took a major leap on my journey. As a woman in business I have found that I deal well with men but have had a hard time dealing with women. Really I always found it hard to believe too. Until just recently that is. I took a deep look in the mirror as I was driving around, my soul mirror, don’t worry my eyes were on the road. I was so amazed how someone treated me. This woman was a supervisor to me at the moment.
 The basic premise of the conversation was that she had a statement to make and I was trying to discuss it with her. I was being agreeable, at least I felt I was. Till I came home and explained the event to my husband and he started to get upset. I sat there and thought to myself pay attention. I raised my hand to get my husbands attention and said “really I want to understand this.” So he began to explain and I have a new perspective. The reason this woman was upset was because I was in her eyes challenging her. I was not authenticating her power. She needed to be heard.
I then saw one of the reasons we as women have difficulty in the workplace. Not that we can’t move up that has changed a lot in the past thirty years, but how we relate to each other, women and men. Learning to communicate authentically without taking away another’s power is key.  When we listen consciously to what someone is saying without waiting to be heard ourselves, we empower everyone.
This is where one aspect of our loss of femininity comes into play. Our natural ability to nurture has been overtaken in the workplace by the natural Masculine trait of protection.  We trade that nurture (listening) for the protection (hear me roar) in the work place. I would like to challenge women to take a deep look in their soul mirror at their behaviors and see for themselves.
In the past when I was in my mind having a discussion, and the other person was getting upset with me. I felt it was their problem they just didn’t get it. I was supposed to just listen not respond. Ah I see so this is an ego problem. I stepped on their ego, that was my understanding of the situation. Unfortunately that was my weakness, I liked to “discuss” or let myself be heard. So can you see it was not their ego in the way it was mine. Yes my sweet little ego getting in the way. Because what I had to say was important. Damm it, I matter!
Well I have found that there is a much better way. And especially as women this way is very powerful for us. You want to be successful? Then learn to listen, really deep understanding listening.
As we move into the next shift of business we will see more and more women in positions of power. This shift will also be a new wave of consciousness. We will be doing business in a more authentic way and we will be amazingly successful at it. Because we will now begin realizing that using our feminine powers is not a weakness. Being feminine is not a weakness. Being feminine is being authentic and being authentic is what will lead all of us women and men to success.

The next question, what is being feminine?

Reiki and the Unified Field

Reiki has many benefits, as you may well know, but bringing all those together helps with one main thing. Reiki is a tool to assist us in connecting with the Unified Field where all possibilities exist. Where health is, where we can find peace, Love, and abundance in all areas of our life, and where we can heal from our past and create our future. Reiki is the answer to many of our questions.    Your first question may be what is the unified field? And that is a great question. Over the years this field has been called many things, but science has now come to an agreement on the one-word well two words, Unified Field. And yes science, Science has come to prove the reality of energy healing. It has also come to be proved that you do not need anyone but yourself to do it. The thing you may need to start with is a teacher/consultant to help with the tools and techniques that assis t in getting you to a point where you have the information and confidence to heal yourself....

Voices in my Head

  Voices in my head. I often get the question, Have you always been a medium? Psychic? The answer is I don’t know. Because I have always had this conversation going on. I just thought it was my imagination I guess. I thought everyone had this constant dialogue with what I thought was those two little men sitting on each shoulder. Like in the old cartoons…..   If you see me talking to myself, I’m not. As I got older, I tended to use them to make decisions, not that I listened very well in my teenage years. But I can remember sitting and listening to the back and forth discussion about the pros and cons of situations. I always felt like I was a little girl sitting at her grandfather’s feet while he bantered with his old friends. Sitting on a long white porch with the breeze through my hair smelling the grass, water and flowers. You mean everyone does not hear this conversation? Life has had some very hard events for me. I wonder if I had learned to trust the voices how wou...

How I see vibrations of energy

    This is how Energy works, It is sometimes in its Own Time.               I actually wrote this article in 2018 Its time has come.    Explaining how energy works, universal energy is probably one of the most difficult things I do. And it is not that the concept of energy is difficult but the process of this glorious power that we have at our disposal is so marvelous. That putting it into mere mortal words takes so much away from it. You see energy is best felt than explained. And we as humans have been programmed by generations to have it conceivable by the mind. Universal energy though is processed through the heart. The heart is a marvelous organ that pumps our life fluid through the body we possess. But it is so much more than that. Thanks to science, they have found the secret to the heart. That the heart processes information just like the brain, in fact, the heart has some of the same types of cells and neurons. I am no...
