Dramatic Life Changes – in only 7 weeks!

On 16th December 2009, I embarked on a Journey of Personal and Spiritual Growth with a man that I had been introduced to by a mutual friend.

I had no real idea what I was undertaking and very little understanding of the words being used.

This man, Dr Maurice Turmel PhD, talked about “consciousness” and “ascension” and “5th dimension ” and other terms that I was only vaguely familiar with.

However, something felt totally right for me and I got started with the programme, with no real idea of what to expect.

It has been totally life-changing for me!

I have made more progress in the last 7 weeks with my personal growth than I have done in 20 years of personal development work.

Through a combination of Maurice’s fantastic books “Conscious Evolution” and “The Voice“, through Journaling all my feelings (I am on Journal 11 now) and going through the 12 gorgeous guided meditations, I have been able to:

  • Completely clear away the pain, anger, frustration and very negative emotions from a 30 year relationship going back into my childhood – and the biggest surprise with this was a genuine request to try to repair the damage that came from that person and a totally unexpected gift!
  • Deal with and heal  the grief from the death of my beloved Nan within about 10 days- and I thought that would take me a life-time!
  • Discover a long-standing, intense dislike of myself and clear and heal that, so that my eating has changed completely and I am starting to release surplus weight- and this is without any conscious effort on my part.
  • Identify and heal the biggest fear that I had in my life, which was a fear of my own Personal Power. I have been telling people for years that out Greatest Fear is a fear of our Greatness (as Marianne Williamson said in her brilliant pom) but it never occurred to me that it was also MY greatest fear.
  • Finally recognisethe blocks that have been holding me back in relation to MONEY – and it actually had nothing at all to with finances.
  • Find a direction to take my life and business, which incorporates all the things that I have done and created previously and which will be of service and value to a lot of people. I would never have had the confidence to even contemplate that project before . (More details soon)

I have to say this has been the most fantastic programme I have ever undertaken! And, believe me, I have done a lot of different things!

The beauty of it is that it is very simple.However, it does require some work and a willingness to look inside yourself  at your emotions and old beliefs.

The clearing process is through the 12 beautiful guided meditations and Journaling your emotions. Maurice has set up a forum to help with questions and to support you through the process.

Maurice is holding a couple of FREE Preview teleconference calls on Tuesday 9th February 2010 at 2pm EST and 7pm EST and on Monday 15th February at the same times.

If you would like to make some dramatic shifts in your life in the next 6 weeks, then please come along to the Preview call.

I have become a different person in the last 7 weeks and I now feel so much freer,  as I have finally truly identified and been willing to release the garbage and baggage of the past.

This is a great time to to do this type of work as the rising Earth energies are supporting us- and the really great thing is that – once you release this stuff, it is gone forever andf you don’t need to allow any of it to hold you back ever again!

Highly recommended.

I didn’t like myself very much!

I have been working a lot on myself recently, clearing all of the emotional baggage and unhelpful limiting beliefs from the past.

I was doing a wonderful guided meditation a few days ago with a good friend of mine. The meditation took me into a wonderful garden, which was full of beautiful souls.

Just as I walked in, there, right in the middle of MY GARDEN, with a huge silly grin on her face was a person I have been trying to detox from my life!

How dare she invade my beautiful garden and my wonderful meditation!!!!

In the meditation I saw myself forcibly eject her from the garden and put her behind the hedge at the back. However, no matter how much I tried to block her out and to build a bigger and higher hedge, she was still there looking at me. She had a mixture of this silly grin and sadness on her face.

Ggggggrrrrrrrhhhh!!!!!

Needless to say I did not really enjoy my meditation very much. When I finished, I told my friend about the incident and he said some very profound words.

He told I was ot to eject her from the garden, but I was to talk to her and ask her what message she had for me. It might be that she was reflecting back to me something about myself that I was did not like or did not want to see.

Sometimes I really dislike this personal growth stuff!  – Especially when the inward exploration is difficult and uncomfortable, as I knew instantly this inner probing was going to be.

“I want you to write her a letter,” my friend continued, ” and tell her all the reasons that you are grateful for having been in your life and the lessons and gifts she has brought you – as difficult a person she may be and as much as you want her OUT of your life.”

I could feel a huge “procrastination to-do list”  (such as dog walk, email checking, shopping and hundreds of other time wasting exercises) coming on before I tackled this one.

However, I knew he was right and I found some comfort from his final remarks- “Once you have understood the lessons or the gifts, she will just fade out of your life.”

The more I thought about this, the more I realised that this woman does not like herself in anyway shape or form and seems to have gone to great lengths to “abuse” (for want of a better word)  herself in all areas of her life.

She makes strange, ill-thought- out decisions around money, which seem to me to put her in a position of permanent lack. Having done that, she then seems to blame everyone else for her problems and expect her friends or the Universe to bail her out.

The more I thought about her and the things about her that I did not like, the more uncomfortable I became.

I had to admit to myself that I had also done similar things around money and there had been many occasions where I had not been at all kind or loving towards myself.

It would be fair to say I had abused my body with overeating and lack of exercise and had deprived myself of love and fun in a lot of ways.

It became very obvious that she was holding up a mirror to me and reflecting me back to me. They do say that cameras and mirrors don’t  lie. Well, this mirror was not lying!

Once I allowed myself to acknowledge all of this, I wrote it all out in my journal. As the feelings of self-loathing started to surface, I allowed myself to experience them all and kept writing until I could write no more.

I was listening to one of the Abundant Mystic teleseminar series and the lady was talking about Ho’oponopono.

This is a Hawaiian method of healing, reconciliation and forgiveness which consists of 4 short sentences and essentially you heal yourself for your part in this relationship going wrong – or at least that is my understanding of it.

The 4 sentences are:

  • I am Sorry
  • Please Forgive Me
  • Thank You
  • I Love You

I had heard of this before and never really felt that I had got much from it, however it seemed totally appropriate at that moment, so I started repeating those 4 sentences over and over, whilst thinking about this woman and also about the “Mirror of Lack of Self Love” that she had held up to me.

It took a while, but I felt the feelings start to release.

I finally released the last remnants of it at a fantastic workshop I attended at the weekend, where I broke an arrow that had one end placed against a block of wood and the point was in the soft part of my throat.

Too me, it was a symbolic release of all that lack of self love that had built up over years.

More on that very shortly!

My friend was right. Once I could acknowledge and release the lack of self love for myself, the woman concerned seems to have faded from my life. She has certainly not invaded any more of my meditations.

Perhaps it really is true that we learn our greatest lessons from the most difficult people in our lives.  I am very grateful to that lady for bringing me these lessons and I wish her peace, love, happiness, health and prosperity in her own life.

we are very fortunate at the moment that the rising Earth energies mean we can clear all this stuff quicker than we have ever done before!

With abundant blessings.

Clearing Limiting Beliefs from the Past

Clear Limiting Beliefs and Blocks to Success

Following on the theme of Clearing Out the Old and Welcoming in the New, there are a few very effective things you can do to make sure that you have well and truly let go of any old stuff that may still be hampering you in your Success efforts today.

We have just had a NEW MOON on 15th January 2010. This was enhanced by a very rare solar eclipse, which unfortunately we were not able to see in Northern Europe.

The NEW MOON is about new beginnings. Having let go of the things that do not serve you, now is the time to set in motion the new plans and dreams for the coming year.

If you are holding on to Anger or Frustration or Resentment or Guilt or Shame or Pain in any Negative form about a person or a situation from the past, then  that may be stopping you from moving forward with your new goals, plans and intentions for 2010.

One incident may be the start of a repeating pattern, where a similar situation has happened on numerous occasions with different people. However, the energy of the situations and the feelings you had about it and yourself will often be very similar.

So, for example, a current situation around a lack of money flow may have a lot to do with unhelpful feelings from experiences in your childhood.

The good news is that this stuff is quite easy to identify and clear. We are also now helped by the Triple auspicious Full Moon that we had on 31st December 2009 and also by the fact that the energies on the Earth are accelerating.

This means that releasing “old stuff” can be done faster than ever and we can manifest the things of our choosing faster than ever before.

When doing any sort of clearing work, one of the most important things to do is to really allow yourself to get into the FEELING of the matter. The FEELING is even more important than the person or the situation, although that can be a good trigger to get you started.

Get yourself a JOURNAL, which is going to be for your eyes only.

1)     Set an intention that you will allow yourself to quickly and easily identify and release whatever may be holding you back in any area of your life.

2)     Think about something you would like in your life and ask yourself “Why don’t I yet have what I want?” and listen for the answers that are coming. You may want to add onto that “Whose fault is it?” That is often a good question for stirring up old feelings and buried FEELINGS.

3)     As the answers come up, write them down, especially how you FEEL about this situation or any people that are involved. Let yourself really experience those feelings in your body.

4)     Keep writing until you feel those initial feelings start to subside and then notice what is underneath.

5)     Ask yourself “What beliefs do I hold about myself for all this to be true?” The answers will bubble up very quickly.

I started the process in December in a slightly different way. I started with my childhood and simply wrote about my family, my childhood, the experiences of growing up and the main people and situations that had affected me.

Almost immediately I saw a pattern emerging of how I had felt and I could see repetitions of those same feelings right into my adult life today.

These were my perceptions and I am sure my family did not intend for me to react and feel that way.

Very quickly feelings of being unloved, unwanted, not deserving of attention, always being in the way, being a financial burden to people around me began to surface. This was accompanied by feelings of not being listened to, of not matching up to the expectations of my family and a good dose of anger and resentment.

What also began to emerge was not feeling valued by others and subsequently not having valued myself in my working life and personal relationships.

The word that sprang to mind for me was ABUSE.

As a child I had felt powerless and not able to stand up for myself in what might be termed “abusive” situations, where people had shouted at me or criticised me or not supported me.

As an adult, I seemed to attract working situations where I allowed other people to determine my income and whether I would get paid or not and allowed others to take from me and put up with quite intolerable “abusive” situations.

Personal relationships, prior to meeting my wonderful husband Greg, had been very similar. I had put myself in situations where I had agreed to things when I really wanted to run a mile in the opposite direction and had put myself in situations where I had allowed others to “abuse” me or failing that where I could “abuse” myself.

Once I was able to VENT all of this in my JOURNAL, I could then move to the next step.

6)     You can then make a choice as to whether you want to hang onto those feelings or whether you want to let them go. It really is that simple.

If there are other people involved, you probably won’t be able to change them or their attitude, although once you start clearing work on yourself, you may well be very surprised at the effect it has on other people. I know I was!

You cannot change the events of the past; however you can choose whether or not you want to carry around the emotional pain of those events any longer.

7)     Burn the Journals or get rid of them. Once you have released those feelings, you don’t really want to go back over them.

8)     Clear away any residual with some gentle relaxations and meditations. The Pen and Paper exercises and the meditations work very well together because they can help to clear and release even the deepest rooted beliefs. Sometimes you may not want to bring old stuff into your awareness and that is absolutely fine or it may be that some of the memories require professional help to deal with. If that is the case, seek the help you need.

I have been helping people to identify and clear limiting beliefs for some time now, with some fantastic successes, ranging from Becky who cleared her fear in order to accomplish her dream of skydiving, to Jayne who changed careers from a prison officer to a hypnotherapist to many others who have cleared away limiting beliefs in order to do magical things in their lives.

I have put together a short video for you that explains a bit more about Limiting Beliefs and how to identify and Clear them.

I have put together a very special package of ALL of my most powerful CLEARING materials, including the audios from my Personal CHANGING LIVES COACHING PROGRAMME, my best-selling CLEAR LIMITING BELIEFS AUDIO RELAXTION, as well as a powerful meditation to clear unhelpful beliefs that have come down through the generations.

For more information, please check out the links below.

 

Clear Limiting Beliefs NOW!

Clear Limiting Beliefs

 

Take advantage of the fast moving energies at the moment to quickly and easily clear away anything that does not serve you, so you can set your Intentions for 2010 and confidently expect them to come to you, easily and effortlessly, without being hampered by the lingering effects of old, non-serving stuff.

Wipe the slate clean and stride confidently into the new decade!

With abundant blessings.

Blue Moon, Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse – fitting end to 2009!

Last night, New Year’s Eve, 31st December was quite a rarity! Not only was it the 13th Full Moon of the Year (which apparently only happens every 2.7 years) and it was the second Full Moon in December 2009, it was also a Full Moon on New Year’s Eve, which according to the Space Watch Website, only happens once every 25 years, it was also a Lunar Eclipse.

The triple combination apparently only happens once in every 100 years!

This was a fitting end to 2009 and to the decade that has been termed the “Noughties.”

We watched the eclipse through Greg’s new telescope and he took some terrific pictures.

 

Full Moon, Blue Moon, Lunar Eclipse 12/31 December 31st 2009 by Gregory Goldston

Full Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse by Greg Goldston

 

The Full Moon is traditionally about endings. It is a time to let go of what has happened and to look forward to new and wonderful things.

I received a very timely email from my friend Elly Yule of  http://EssencetialLife.blogspot.com about the New Moon and I would like to quote some of what she said.

“This is the night to write down your Gratitude List for the past decade, including the not so good stuff which helped us to grow and learn so much.  Then write down your wishes and intentions for the year ahead and the next decade.  Think and write carefully, as this triple auspicious Moon is very powerful.”

Greg and I decided we would do exactly that. We sat down with a large mug of Tea each and a box of chocolates and began to review the last decade.

The more we talked about it, the more we realised that we have done a huge amount of different things and the wonderful things far outweighed the negative.

When we looked at the span of a decade, the challenges of the last 12 months sort of paled into insignificance.

When we brought the children into this process, it was interesting to note that the things they remembered were ALL good times. They were about holidays, birthday parties, time with family and friends, laughter and fun.

So, if children can so easily remember all the GOOD times, why on earth do we, as adults, focus on all the BAD stuff and things that went wrong and things we felt that couldn’t do or we missed out on?

Maybe that is “grown-up, adult logic” that is based in “reality” and has stopped believing in magic and miracles!

 

YES TO:

Having completed part ONE, we started to look at part TWO – the things we would like to experience in our lives.

The idea of  saying YES TO things seems to have worked very well for us recently, so we thought we would continue in that same vein.

On my bookshelf, I found a beautiful note-book with fairies all over the front of it, which I think had been discarded by a child at some point. Very fitting!

We started our YES TO list with simple things, like

  • All bills being easily paid
  • Ongoing sales and income coming in
  • New clock mechanism for Jacqueline’s pottery clock she made
  • Paying for next exams
  • Half season football ticket for Greg

And this quickly built up to :

  • Trips to London to see several musicals (Stephanie and Jacquline)
  • Hot air balloon trip ( I have wanted to do that for so long)
  • New HD TV (Greg)
  • Photographic trips (for Greg and Jacqueline)

And right up to:

  • Trip on the Hogwarts Express in Scotland (Yes, it really exists)
  • 3 weeks in Florida, including a 7 day Caribbean Cruise on Disney’s latest Cruise ship, staying in the top of the range Walt Disney Suite

It was a thoroughly wonderful experience and it allowed us to start dreaming again and to start allowing wonderful experiences to come into our lives.

That is one thing, I have to say, has been rather sadly lacking in 2009. We had stopped asking and stopped expecting good things to come to us. Not surprisingly, we had got exactly what we had expected!

The YES TO book, is now sitting on my desk, with 4 Tiger’s Eye crystals on the top of it, which are also supposed to be good for bringing prosperity.

I have started to see some quite amazing (and totally unexpected) results from all my emotional clearing efforts, which I will tell you about another day.

Suffice to say, 31st December 2009 has marked the end of some huge, long-standing negative stuff and the start of bridges being built to a much better situation.

I would highly recommend the exercises we have done. The energy of the Full Moon is around for a couple of days yet, so there is still time to do them!

Happy New Year everyone!

With abundant blessings.

Out With The Old and In With The New

Out With The Old and In With The New

Well, as 2009 draws to a close, this is a time for reflection on the year that has gone and for celebration of the New Year to come.

2009 has certainly been a challenging year for the Goldston family. We seem to have struggled with money all year. It has been a year of really tightening the purse strings and reducing the household budget to a minimum.

Yet we have survived. We are still all here to tell the tale. Interestingly, although we seem to have had an almost day to day existence, money seems to have always showed up exactly as we have needed it.

Having said that, I was looking back through the diary and I have been quite amazed at how much we have done on a shoestring budget.

There have been several cinema trips to see great films (in the UK, Orange mobile phone network do a 2-4-1 offer on all cinema tickets on a Wednesday), we have had picnics and fantastic dog walks, the girls have done dancing and trampolining, dancing and various other activities with home education groups and a fantastic trip to see an outdoor theatre production of “Wind in the Willows” – completed, quite naturally, under the torrential rain of British Summer!

The Italian student who was staying with us at the time really could not quite see the appeal of shaking with the cold and trying to eat soggy sandwiches and even soggier salad!

Money Lessons

So, what have we learnt from all this? I think the biggest thing has been far better money management. We have managed on the cash that we have had at any given moment and we have had to plan very carefully what we have bought and whether we really desperately needed “it”, whatever that might be.

In some senses, we have stopped dreaming and wanting and in other senses, we have really had to be very clear on priorities. I think it has taught all of us to be more prudent.

At times it has been quite a temptation to say the fatal dream-killing phrase- “No, we can’t afford it!” and sometimes it has been a struggle to focus on “how can we do that?” If something has been REALLY important, then it has happened- somehow, by hook or by crook, with a good dose of Universal Divine intervention from time to time!

There has been a lot greater co-operation between us as a family as we have worked together to make something happen – and then made sure that we have really enjoyed it.

YES TO

During December, we started to focus on what we could say YES to. A lot of these were quite simple things, such as all bills being paid easily, buying some Christmas presents, phone top-ups, an enjoyable Christmas Carol service, fun and laughter in the house, paying for children’s exams, finding gorgeous advent calendars and catching up with bills from the previous month.

I have to say this worked remarkably well and we have had great satisfaction from crossing things off the list as we have been able to do them.

During December I have been really looking at myself and wondering what I can do to turn all of this around. Focusing on what we can say YES TO and focusing on the more positive aspects of life has certainly helped.

Toxic People

I also began to review the people that I have spent a lot of time with over the last year and noticed that my financial problems seemed to mirror theirs and their problems seemed to mirror mine. So, it was probably a mutual reflection of lack mentality!

However I also started to observe how I felt when I had finished conversations with and mostly we had gone round and round in negative stuff and I felt pretty rotten. I decided I needed to have a “negative, draining people detox” and that has been one of the hardest things I have done this year!

I have had to have a really good look inside myself and look at the beliefs I am holding about myself, money, abundance, opportunities and life in general because those beliefs are reflected in the people and opportunities I have attracted into my life.

Some of it has not been very pretty!

I have been very fortunate to have a very wise teacher come into my life in December and I will tell you more about him in due course.

Healing, Releasing and Cleansing

He is taking me through a programme of feeling-based healing and clearing and it is very long overdue!

I have been busy journaling about my childhood and my adolescence and things that made me angry and upset, as well as how I felt about absolutely everything.

So far I am on my fourth journal book!

I have done these kinds of exercises before, yet somehow they were intellectual exercises.  I had never really got in touch with the deep-rooted feelings of anger, resentment, feeling unwanted and unloved and abandoned and all the other feelings of inadequacy and not being worthy or deserving of anything wonderful in life.

This is actually a very therapeutic exercise to do and I would highly recommend it for getting rid of old, unhelpful beliefs and stuff that you really don’t need.

It is important to get in touch with the feelings and allow yourself to actually feel them. You may find that thinking of a particular person or a situation will trigger off all the memories. The feelings around that event are more important than the event itself.

Let yourself VENT in your journal!

Whatever you wanted to say to the person or people involved at the time, say it in your journal, with every choice expletive you can think of! This journal is for your eyes only and you will probably want to burn it when you have finished.

One person from my childhood took up several dozen pages of my 30 years of suppressed venom! As I wrote I felt the anger and pain increase and it is important to keep writing and express every last ounce of it, as best you can in words.

Once I had exhausted myself and my choice of words, the anger started to subside and I actually began to feel a sense of compassion and understanding for why they acted liked they did. Yes, that totally blew me away!

I came to realise that I could not change what had happened and that person will probably never explore themselves enough to make any changes. However, I do not need to carry around that pain any longer as it does not serve me and has probably greatly contributed to my weight problems over the years. No, that does not mean I have to like that person, however I can now separate me from them!

It is so powerful to clear away old stuff from the past. It is only by freeing ourselves from the baggage of the past that we can then really make contact with those Higher Aspects of ourselves, such as intuition, inspiration and creativity.

Let Go of What DOES NOT SERVE You

I have been helping other people to clear limiting beliefs for some time and I now realise that where we have had the greatest breakthroughs has been where people have allowed themselves to clear away the negative feelings behind the beliefs, rather than it being merely a superficial, intellectual, surface exploration.

Once I started to open myself up to letting go of things that do not serve me, some interesting questions started to emerge, such as “Why I am holding onto the stress of worrying about debts and money and the mortgage and whether or not we are going to lose to house and whether we need to go down the bankruptcy route?” and “How does that really serve me other than to block off my creativity and cause me to be irritable and bad tempered?”

Money and Home

The answer is that none of that serves me. Maybe bankruptcy is the ultimate release, the ultimate starting again and perhaps it is time to let go of this old house that needs a lot of money spending on it in a top-to-bottom renovation.

Once I came to a place of being willing to totally let go and surrender myself to the Highest and Best Outcome, I felt a sense of calm and peace come over me and options started to present themselves. Once I had come to terms with what might be the worst possible eventuality, other possibilities started to pop in my head and I found myself much calmer as I was writing letters to banks and other hassling people.

Death of My Nan

Just before Christmas, my beloved Nan died, after a long illness and I can tell you, it is no fun when you are wrapping Christmas presents and trying to get into the Christmas Spirit, with cheesy Christmas songs playing wherever you go, when you feel like your heart is breaking!

Nan has had pages and pages devoted to her in my journal as I have tried to come to terms with the very mixed feelings I had about her and her life. Up until about 10 years ago, she was an incredibly active lady. She still cooked and cleaned and looked after the children, as well as flying half way round the world (twice) to see her other daughter and family.

She was a total inspiration, with huge amounts of energy and time for everyone. She lived life to the full and when she felt tired, she sat down for a little nap.

On Christmas Day 2000, she fell in the bath and cracked her fibula bone at the top of her knee. She spent a few weeks with a splint and never walked unaided again after that. It was as though she gave up on life and seemed to want nothing more than to sit in her chair and have everyone take care of her.

It was so sad to see this once vibrant woman deteriorate over that time. She went into a nursing home in December 2001 and in time, her not wanting to do anything turned into her being totally unable to do anything and her health deteriorated considerably, with this last year being the very worst.

Inspiration

I remember her as one of the biggest inspirations of my childhood. She was so strong and so capable, yet always had welcoming arms for a big hug.

She was the only person that I felt was a stable, consistent support for me as I was growing. She never once judged my dreams or told me that something was not possible. Although her comments were often a rather non-committal, “that’s nice, dear” there was never any criticism or lack of encouragement.

She calmly took everything in her stride, even when I shouted at my Grandad for his lack of patience with teaching me to drive or my temper or my ingratitude!

There were always welcoming arms and a nice cup of tea and a biscuit or a piece of home-made cake to make anything better – from bruised knees to a broken heart!

Life and Death really does go in cycles

Nanny died on 21st December 2009 and on 23rd December 2009, my cousin’s wife gave birth to a baby boy! Nan’s funeral is on New Year’s Eve, 14 years to the day when my Grandad, her husband died, when I was pregnant with my second daughter!

Blessings and Abundance

As 2009 draws to an end, we can close the chapter on the highs and lows of that year and look forward to 2010. This is a year where I am going to concentrating much more on really experiencing the FEELING of everything I am doing.

As I have been clearing out the old stuff, I have realised how truly blessed I am with a wonderful family, a fantastic husband, amazing kids (and a mad rottweiler that totally fits in with the family!) and how much real abundance I have in my life.

Intentions and Focus for 2010

In 2010 I shall be focusing on things which give me real pleasure and are so much fun to do, such as writing and creating tarot based products. I have got loads of ideas that I am working on.

I have decided to give the Universe some instructions to bring me the exact right people who can help with the marketing and promotion of my products and attracting film makers and TV people to me.

This can free me up to do what I love to do, which is to CREATE!

In 2010 I am going to be working to my strengths and delegating the rest to people who love those things, so that we can create win-win situations for everyone.

As Joseph Campbell said, “Follow Your Bliss!” and that is what I am going to be doing in 2010.

Wishing you a wonderful New Year and a fantastic 2010.

With abundant blessings.

What stops Success?

I made a Mind Movie last week with some of my short term goals, which you can see on the post below.

They were not goals that I would consider to be particularly huge. However they are a step forward from where I am now.

I started to watch the video repeatedly and a very interesting thing began to happen.

And it was NOT the massive success I desired.

As I watched the video, I started to hear a little voice in my head asking me some very unhelpful questions, such as “Why are you bothering?”, “You won’t do that?” “You’ve done all this goal setting stuff before, you don’t really believe any of it is going to happen, so what’s the point?”

As I started hearing this stuff coming up, I realised it was old limiting beliefs and thought patterns, that I thought I had long since cleared, that were making their presence felt.

Hmm, interesting.

I felt so inspired by my Mind Movie, yet at the same time, felt a mounting sense of frustration and almost powerlessness with it.

Maybe all this old junk about my self worth, my value, my deservedness to have money and abundance in my life, was what was stopping me from allowing it to come into my life?

I came to the conclusion that it was high time I did something about it. I pulled out my material on Clearing Limiting Beliefs and blocks to Success and started working with it. In under a week I attracted in nearly £1000 ($1500) of unexpected income!

It may be that you also have some old, unhelpful limiting beliefs lurking about, which are wrecking havoc with your success plan.

I have made a short video for you explaining how to quickly identify and clear any limiting beliefs, so that when you make your Mind Movie with your goals, you can allow the abundance to come into your life in double-quick time.

The Power of Organisation

Published by Amanda under clear limiting beliefs

Sometimes I seem to spend my days going round in circles, knowing all the things I “should” do or I “need” to do to move my life and my business forward, yet none of it gets done.

I have now graduated from a “to-do list” to a “to-do book” which I keep adding more and more stuff to. I then look at it and feel totally overwhelmed.

Then I end up getting frustrated because I have not done anything, so I find myself working on my computer until 2am (besides that all my friends in the USA are happily chatting then) and so I don’t get any sleep and then I wake up tired! And so the cycle goes on!

When I started reviewing all my products and services a couple of weeks ago, I found myself in total overwhelm. I had ideas flowing out of me so fast I could not write them all down. Great excuse for getting nothing done!

Much as I love to tell everyone I am multi-tasking, female superwoman, sometimes it really pays to FOCUS on one thing at a time!

I found that my biggest strength is business is creating products, services and programmes that help people to Clear Limiting Beliefs.

I have had so many testimonials from people who have used them, particularly the Clear Limiting Beliefs audio relaxation, and have told me that something has changed in them.

Something, almost quite magical, that has changed thoughts such as “I can’t do that” or more commonly “Who am I to do something like that?” to “Well, yes I can do that” and ” I deserve the success that could come from that” and “Who can I find to help me?”


Secret Weapon to Organisation.

Two things have helped me hugely in organising my business in the last few days. One has been a large pad of plain white paper and the other has been a pack of coloured pens! And yes, the third one has been switching off all instant messaging services!

I realised there is quite a logical flow to my programmes, from deciding what you want through to clearing the limiting beliefs and taking action to move forward.

It took me a few days to see this progression, but once I did, it became so much easier to decide on the next action steps because it one thing builds on another.

Interestingly this exercise brought up a huge “to-do” list, but I am quickly working my way through it because I can see a point to the tasks on the list.

Drawing out on paper your business, or an aspect of it or a project you are working on is highly recommended. It gives huge clarity and direction.

Have a wonderful day.
With abundant blessings.

Mastering Your Power of Release

Hi all,

When you think about Releasing Limiting Beliefs or Stress or anything that does not serve you in your life, there are as many ways to do this as there are individual people.

Different techniques will work for different people.

I think the most important part is to start with the INTENTION and WILLINGNESS to let go of old stuff.

Overcoming depression- without drugs!

My friend Buz McGuire of the Viral Happiness Expansion Initiative is an amazing man! A few years ago, he was diagnosed with depression and decided he was going to heal himself- from the inside out- without the use of drugs.

Over time he discovered a whole range of ideas, tips and techniques that he could use on himself to IMMEDIATELY and effectively RELEASE unhelpful thoughts, feelings, emotions, beliefs and stress.

These ranged from simple breathing exercises to a balloon exercise to writing exercises and loads of other simple and practical things.

He has gathered them altogether into a truly amazing package called “Mastering Your Power of Release”, which has just been launched.

I was truly privileged to have worked with Buz on this project. I also contributed a chapter on “Generational Clearing” to the companion ebook called “Masters of Release”

Yes, my very talented photographer husband, Greg Goldston, designed and created the cover designs and the banner.

The Power of Release contains heaps of tips for “Mastering Your Power of Release” from Buz’s 25 year journey of personal development.

The Masters of Release contains the best clearing and releasing techniques from well known authors such as Joe Vitale, Pat O Bryan and yours truly, Amanda Goldston.

It is highly recommended.

Changing Lives Coaching is officially Launched!

Hi all,

I am now officially launching Changing Lives Coaching.

I have been truly amazed at the breakthroughs my clients have been having over the last few weeks.

I have also been amazed at the heart-felt true PASSIONS that have been squashed into a corner, on the basis of “I’ll do what I really LOVE, when I have made some money and got some more time etc… etc… etc…”

The more PEACE, JOY, LOVE and FUN we can bring into our lives TODAY, the more we can do things that make our heart sing, the more abundance we can attract into our lives.

To book your “Block Busting” Changing Lives Coaching Programme, and Identify and Clear a Major Block to Success in under 2 hours

The day I stopped SHINING

Hi all,

I have had some fantastic results recently with helping people Clear Limiting Beliefs in about 2 hours.

Greg has not looked back, Pat has taken off like a rocket in his business, Elly is more organised with a structured plan and Ken, in his words” blew off TONS of emotional charge and had so many realizations that I can’t even remember them all.”

 

Healer, Heal Thyself!

Then there comes the point of “Healer, Heal thyself”. That is to say, working on my own limiting beliefs and blocks.

Hmm, maybe it is time for another cup of tea…. and some “Busy Work”!

I knew it had to be done and it was actually a lot easier than I had built it up to be.

Repeating Patterns

 

Do you find you keep coming up against the same block or the same challenges or you keep getting the same old results and you can’t seem to get past it?

Some of the biggest limiting beliefs for many people have been created in an instant on the back of one incident in your past, where something happened and you made a decision in that moment about it.

You have probably noticed similar incidents in your life and most of those are just re-enforcing the beliefs formed by that first incident.

There may a single incident or a series of incidents in your past, when you stopped “shining”, when that natural joy, enthusiasm, exuberance and flow stopped?

It may have been a simple remark by a “well meaning” parent, adult or authority figure or it may have been a remark that was made out of spite and with ill intent. It may have been an incident, where you overheard something you were not meant to hear.

As children we take on board, without questioning the things that adults, siblings and others say to us and that can have a lasting impact on us.

 

The day I stopped “SHINING”.

For me, I have always struggled valuing myself, and allowing money to flow to me. I have frequently allowed people to walk all over me and have said YES to things, when I really wanted to scream NO , and found myself working long and hard in jobs that could only really be described as “abusive”.

I have not really been happy with myself,with my results, my money, my health, my relationships and my overall level of happiness and I could never really figure out what the problem was.

I have a lot of wonderful things in my life; my husband, my children, my dog, friends, and a myriad of amazing things yet….. something missing still.

 

You must have been a beautiful baby…

Yes, I was. White blond curls, big smile and a happy personality.

I have a shiny, silver cup on my shelf that I won as a beautiful baby, August 1968, two months before my 2nd birthday and I have some photos from that same day.

As I looked really closely at those photographs I has an immense feeling of sadness. I felt inadequate, I felt that I did not belong, out of place, a fraud, like some kind of cheat, that the cup and the prize really should not be mine and really quite upset. I wanted to get rid of that cup as fast as I could.

As I probed further into this, I could hear the jealous, spiteful remarks that were being made about me and that the whole thing was a fix. I could hear one old lady saying that her grand-daughter should have won because she was prettier than me and there were other remarks along lines of the blond, brainless child.

As an adult I am reminded of the quote by Eleanor Roosevelt, “No-one can make you feel inferior without your permission”. As a nearly 2 year old I had no concept of that.

That was the day the light went out and I really stopped shining.

Looking back now, I know why I won that 1st prize cup and it had nothing to do with being a pretty little girl, with a mass of blond white curls, nor was it a fix or a sham.

I won that cup because I was shining the brightest. I had a huge, warm loving smile, I was full of joy of life, fun, happiness, wonderfulness and a sheer delight at being alive. I wanted to share that with the world.

I was shining my light and everything flowed to me easily and effortlessly. Plus, from what I can remember, I wasn’t bothered in the slightest whether I won that cup or not. It meant more to my parents, especially my dad, than it did to me.

It was all about other people’s expectations and somehow I felt I had never quite matched up to those expectations.

I could trace of all the feelings of not being good enough, self worth, not deserving, things should not be easy in my life back to that event. Many of the subsequent events over the years have just re-enforced those patterns and those beliefs.

 

When I was SHINING

However, no more than 6 weeks before that day with the baby show, things were very different.

You can see the glow and the natural fun-loving, playful, vibrant, mischievous light in the little being in the picture taken a month before.

That amazing creature was me, playing happily, with the wind in my hair (although Greg remarked that the hair hasn’t changed much! Cheeky so and so!) and not a care in the world. I was living life to the full and enjoying every moment.

I was just BEING ME.

That is one of the very few photos where I am smiling with my mouth OPEN.

I was able to heal and clear the beliefs and the feelings that arose from that event, to choose to take positive learnings from it and to choose a new reality for myself today as an adult, 40 odd years after that event.

It was a very powerful process and having healed the hurts of the past, I decided to allow myself to shine, really shine and to make new choices in the light of the new decision.

Once I went to meet my futures self, there was a whole new wonderful person waiting to meet me.

I was also able to get that cup back out, give it a really good polish and know that it is truly mine, and it always was. I deserved (past) and deserve (now) it for Shining the Brightest.

I have been able to put that on my bookshelf and look at it with a huge SMILE on my face, instead of wondering why it made me feel bad.

Now it is a positive symbol, instead of a negative one.

I now have a choice.

I can allow myself to go back to be ruled by those feelings of pain or inadequacy or I can allow myself to really SHINE.

As a wise person once said (and I am not sure who it was) “Other people’s opinions of me are none of my business”.

A question I have been practising asking myself is “how can I SHINE even more brightly today than I did yesterday?”

Allow your light to SHINE!

With abundant blessings of Peace, Love, Joy and Fun,

Amanda Goldston
