Beyond Fear

Each time a challenge arises in our life, it's only normal for fear to come up. The problem with this, is that we can then avoid taking healthy risks in our lives. Learn how to move beyond this fear.

Overcoming fear is crucial to taking healthy risks in life, as fear can prevent us from moving forward.

Moving Beyond Fear

In the recent weeks and months we have witnessed much political up-cries as our leaders are being asked - demanded - that they consider how policies and political influence needs to stand for what matters; that they need to think far into the future. It is not only the economy that needs an uplift but perhaps more so, it is how we think. We must open our minds to what needs to change is at the forefront of everything. Gravely the violence, the prejudice, the racism, the fear and the lack of knowledge that we have witnessed is but a microcosm of what needs to change; of what is changing. Our lives stand for something; they matter. They inspire and drive conviction; to be a never-ending voice that teaches our children; that retrains our way of thinking and the beliefs that we hold so that we may all live in light; no longer in the darkness that has shrouded our minds for so long. This is our global awakening; this is our new world. This is your opportunity, your time, your free will that will choose what will be. When you feel uncertain; and there is much that is still unknown, remember to decide what is in your power to choose; to reclaim, to live awake, because in this time everything that you have ever wanted and desired now is before you. It is of your choosing. Only you can choose this. You are not alone, everyone has their own path to walk forward in. The life that you once lived is forever changed. You embrace the present. You may witness all of the moments of your life as you look forward and feel grateful of these many joys that are possible because you choose this. Everything becomes significant. Everything becomes a possibility and something worth asking for. Your life and what you live begins now. Choose your life. Live in peace. Begin this now. I hope that you will have the experience of listening to the full episode; there is much here to inspire and uplift and to help you set your course into the future. Namaste! xo

The world is changing and we must open our minds to what needs to change, stand for what matters and live in peace; choose your life and live awake.

As we are expanding, releasing, and letting go of who we used to be, allowing for a new version to emerge, there will be moments when we cannot see the path forward.

I invite you to join me as we take a deep dive into Trust and Surrender.

Advice For Your Growth Journey

Start your day with this morning's motivation that encourages you to let go of shame, fear, and self-doubt, reminding you that you are safe and capable of embracing your inner strength.

Embrace your inner strength by letting go of shame, fear, and self-doubt - a morning motivation to remind you that you are safe and capable.

Morning Motivation Embrace Your Strength

This one is for people pleasers. A reminder to say what you need to say. In a world where “likes” are a barometer for whether or not we are showing up in an acceptable way, we try to please, attract and impress as many people as we can, and then live in fear that someone won’t approve or respond in the way we had hoped or expected them to. We’ve gotten so good at dividing ourselves into smaller and smaller pieces, that we end up stretched thin, pleasing no one, with an empty tank. Life is way too short to try and please everyone.

Stop people pleasing and say what you need to say; life is too short to try and please everyone in a world where likes determine acceptability.

Say No To People Pleasing & Yes To You!

Prayerfully asking God to give us the courage to face and not to turn away from what is dark and confusing. To let us look upon that we do not understand without scorn or fear or judgment. To help us to have the heart that He meant for us to love others with. To allow us to see the spirit in those who fear that theirs is lost. And to let us be the light that sees the best in others.

Praying for courage to face darkness and confusion without judgment, to love others and see their spirit, and be a light that sees the best in them.

Prayer: Seeing through God's Loving Eyes

When life doesn't go as planned, it can lead to disappointment, fear, anger, sadness, or a range of emotions. You may find yourself clinging defiantly to the way that things "should" have been. This inner conflict between what is and what should have been can keep you emotionally stuck. Releasing the "ideal" you've created allows space for both to coexist and ultimately bring acceptance and peace.

Letting go of expectations brings peace amidst life's uncertainties - acceptance, not resistance.

When Life Doesn't Go As Planned

When we hurt it is because we have allowed someone to affect us negatively; to cause us harm, to feel doubt, fear, insecurity, or discouragement, when really each time that we experience someone's negativity, they are simply showing us their reaction, and their feelings and thoughts in that particular moment. How often do we allow others to hurt us? Your decision must be to step back, to step away from taking on whatever hurts may be directly or indirectly pointed at you. You wouldn't choose to be hurt. You would choose to be love and to feel loved. So begin with this. Become great at this. This is the ability to love yourself and to trust wholeheartedly in your goodness, your infinite power, your truth. with love Namaste!

Don't allow others to hurt you; step back and focus on loving and trusting yourself instead.

An Invitation To Rest (3 Mins)

How tricky our ego can be. She feeds off of fear and scarcity, And leaves pain and suffering in her wake. Her desire is to keep us safe, But in doing so, she keeps us small and imprisoned. And the only way to true freedom, Is to recognize the ego when she appears, understand why she’s there, and let her go. So the intention of today’s meditation is to give you a practice to identify and let go of your ego, so you can continue the never-ending practice of transcending beyond her into a space of connectedness and love with your true self.

Recognize and release the ego's grip on fear and scarcity to find true freedom and connect with your true self in meditation.

Let Go of Anxiety, Worry and Fear

We train our mind by what we tell it. What we say to ourselves becomes what we believe. We retrain our mind to believe in our self by holding the feeling first of something that we believe to be true - a positive aspect of our self - so that we can identify what this feeling "feels like". This is the first part of our retraining. We then work with envisioning and feeling successful of whatever we doubt. In this way, we focus on the positive outcome of what we desire instead of the fear or doubt. This meditation is best experienced in its entirety to allow for the full effects of its teachings. Please use this meditation often to anchor your new feelings of confidence and to retrain how you think. Namaste!! with love, dorothy

As we move along the path of awakening and freedom, as we allow our consciousness to expand and our vibration to be raised, we are wise to be very conscious about protecting our consciousness so that we are not pulled down to the lower vibrations of fear, worry, and doubt that is running amuck in the world. In other words, we are wise to use discernment as to who we share our insights and revelations with, and even who we choose to hang out with, so that we may integrate and embody our expansion.
