Soul detox

Ive been on the cruise for the last 5 days and it's been an interesting twist of events since I arrived in Australia.  So many signs and things that have shown me that I am on the right pathway.  from the rainbow over the sydney opera house, to the text messages about hummingbirds from friends… it's really been quite eye opening.  It was emotional leaving LA, for many reasons… expectations, hope, wants and desires… but actually I had to let go of expectations because it's our expectations that disappoint us, so letting go of that was the process of cleansing and I decided that I was going to do a cleanse. 

This was a soul cleanse, of things that didn't serve me.  So I am working through my friends Soul Coaching it's a 28 day program and as I am doing this daily I am opening up starting to see patterns that need to be changed, lessons that have been learnt and growing from them.  Detaching away.  Being on the cruise has forced the detachment and it's taken up to now for me to get an internet package and that is only because I need to be in touch with my students and get their homework ready for the practical workshop next week. 

It's been challenging to say the least, but then the more I have done it the better I have gotten, and I found that encouraging.  I have been working out daily and while I was on the elliptical yesterday I had this epiphany, and it was something that some of the people on the cruise had said to me the night before… and it inspired me to write… and so the third and fourth book is in progress and also the 5th too… And the funny thing is, is that time is not a factor, it's going to be simple because the words have already been given to me. 

What Happened is when I stopped and I allowed myself to detox my mind and my soul, I had space.  Space for things that I needed… not things that I do not need any more, and then the signs… Oh the signs!

One of the signs came today… it hit me right between the eyes.  There I am watching the game in the sports bar grading my students homework and I read something that one of them had written about her husband.  Her husband had sent her a card and gifts and in the card it stated how he appreciated her and how proud he is of her for doing the course and doing what she wanted to do rather than what others wanted to do… It was beautiful to read.  I sat there with tears in my eyes just feeling the love that was coming through.  For me words are incredible and they mean so much to me, so to read that was beautiful, knowing that she was appreciated… and it was another sign for me to say… "Lisa, you are doing the right thing…" There have been times I've felt extremely guilty for surrendering to serve spirit and doing what I am called to do but there have been times in my life where I have done what others have wanted me to do, but as I teach my students, you have to be dedicated… and so that is what I am… I always have been dedicated to my work but I feel like I have found my pathway back. 

The signs just haven't stopped… and they keep coming and coming… and now I know it's a release of old energy, not necessarily negative but old, and it's time to embrace the new.  

So you can detox your mind, your body and your soul in so many ways.  Sit in silence, allow yourself to slow down, you don't have to stop… I haven't but I slowed down, and it's given me so much clarity… I didn't want to slow down before because I was afraid I wouldn't like what I saw when I did… reality is, is that I didn't… I didn't want to accept things, but I had too… and slowing down, taking time for me, no one else, has helped me come to terms with so much.  Nothing has been negative, even the things I have had to deal with, because all I have done is showered love onto the situation or circumstance, what ever has come up and I have let it go with love… knowing that love can heal it.  You can't control the situation you can just love it!

So when you are faced with things, sometimes you need to slow down, take a moment and surrender and release.  Allow yourself to have no expectations, and know that you can't control the outcome, because it's already mapped out for us and it's planned… so we just have to allow everything to happen… and trust that it's all going to be okay! 

Sending everyone love from the open seas of the South Pacific!

Doing something for you.

I have to say I am in one of the most beautiful places on earth… Quebec City.  It's so romantic.  I remember a few years ago watching the ice skaters out side my room holding hands and embracing on the ice… and it was then that I fell in love with this city.  Its in my top 3 favorite cities in the world. I am so blessed to be back and grateful for being able to visit this incredible place again.  The connections that I make are amazing no matter where you are in the world.  Even though I speak very little french, and thanks to Marie (my translator) we are able to get the messages of love and comfort across to everyone. 

It doesn't matter if the spirits are english speaking or not, I am still able to connect with them, and share the message.  Last night we had a situation where so many people could connect with more than one message.  It happens all the time.  This is because the spirits are all communicating together to get as many messages out as possible.  So more than one person can take a message.  I love this, and it's important to know that it happens so that you can get your message.  

It's the same in life.  When you read something or hear about something that resonates with you, it's a message for you, to sit up and listen.  People have said that my blogs have helped them because they have seen the signs for themselves in my blogs to help them with their life. 

For me that means I am doing my job.  Of course I have my moment of weakness… jeez, I'm the first to admit that I do… in fact I had a very big moment yesterday, but it's ok… we all have those moments… But you have to remember to stay strong.  Veronica (my alter ego who likes to tell me how to feel and wind me up) started to talk and I started to listen to her… finally I had to say… 'Go Away!!!' and she went.  But it set me off on a path where I started to think and have a big moment of weakness… thankfully I didn't act upon Veronica's words as I know that that would have hurt me again and it's not what I needed right now. 

Funny how our own mind can set us off.  It took me a while to shake it off… but the show and then sitting with the team of people who are traveling with me afterwards helped… just to take my mind away from Veronica.  

We all have a Veronica… it's that little voice that comes forward and winds us up.  So I have had to keep Veronica in check, and I did last night… Finally I said, I wanna dance! So off we went to dance… and did I dance! I loved it.  Everyone was drinking, and they kept asking me… I kept shaking my head and just carried on dancing… blowing away the cobwebs… It felt good just to be free. Not caring about the music, the people, just me on the dance floor dancing away! It was great.  David my tour manager was making sure that I was ok… while still having a good time himself.  When you are on the road, your team are your family, and I am blessed to have them with me and I trust them.  

Sometimes we need to have moments where we blow the cobwebs from us, we shake it all off and we are able to let go and have fun.  I know I can be far too serious, my friend said to me recently as she was rolling around on the floor playing Nerf guns with Charlie that I should come and join them…  (BTW I hate guns and that is the only reason why I didn't)… that I was too serious and I needed to find the fun in me… and I did.  We had a lot of fun with Charlie and I had a lot of fun dancing last night.  I didn't speak to anyone, I just lost myself in the music… ahhhhh… heaven! 

So no matter what, you have to do something that is good for you, take sometime to relax, take sometimes to let your hair down, and have some fun. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it makes you happy.  it could be exercise, it could be music, it could be dancing, it could be cooking or it could be doing something creative… as long and you find that out let for you to get away from things and lose yourself for a little while, you will find that you become you again and you feel free and happy.  I know I did last night. 

I went to bed exhausted from the day and the dancing, and woke up all fresh and ready for a great show tonight.  So I am sitting here, watching the Steelers Game enjoying myself and writing my blog… I'm filling my soul with things I want to do, before a show. 

So with that I will bid you farewell coz I've got messages that are coming through for the audience and it's less than an hour before show time! 

Have a lovely week, and I'll be in Montreal next week!!! Whoohoo!!!
