It is, of course, Thanksgiving week as celebrated in the USA, a seniment that is echoed in numerous other countries as the focus turns to gratitude and blessings.
Most of us, after years of energy work, know full well how shifting to a state of gratitude can alter not only our emotions, but also the very biochemical balance of our bodies. Being reminded of things we are grateful for can stop us from spiralling into a state of depression or despair when life's burdens become challenging. And so we see an explosion of gratitude journals, and the common sense reminders to 'count our blessings'. Indeed if we look, we can find always find aspects of our lives that remind us of the love, beauty and joy that inspire gratitude - it may not change how things look immediately, however, the shift in emotional state will assist us in reframing situations and inspire different actions or perspectives. Sometimes, we also need the support of others to help us to shift, and this requires vulnerability and moving beyond the programming of 'I have to be independent' or 'I have to do this myself'. We don't llive in isolation, or as is said 'No man is an island'.
I had this exact experience last week with our beautiful Golden Diamonds group & it was a 'breakdown to breakthrough' kind of moment. I was feeling unseen, unacknowledged, fed-up, exhausted and it was a real 'What's the point?' moment. My Inspirer archetype had gone completely AWOL and was missing in action. By allowing myself to be vulnerable and to express this, the group was able to hold the space so gently, and with such love and honour. They reminded me of the vast creativity that has been birthed through my service to Diamond Light World over so many years, the elevation of frequency we have all benefitted from, this year's journey through 2 major surgeries without a sense of humour failure (despite it being a time of minimal income too), and ability to always come back from the edge. This wasn't done in a patronising 'look for the blessings' way, rather they each served as mirrors of love and an expression of their own gratitude.
This was on Wednesday evening, and we left the group with such a feeling of gratitude and love for each other and how powerful the Golden Diamond members are in a multitude of ways. On Thursday afternoon, I had an inspiring Colour Reading with a new client whose unsolicited comment was "What you actually do goes above and beyond what you charge for your services". It was another moment of deep gratitude.
By Friday morning, my Inspirer was back in full swing and I literally have the framework together for a brand new, high frequency Diamond offering to be launched in the next week. It will be the first new 'program' after a 12 month journey back to health and mobility.
So, if you are struggling to find the blessings in your life or things just seem dark, don't hesitate to reach out to a trusted friend, colleague or even a helpline if needed. There are so many truly compassionate individuals who will remind you that there are unseen blessings - even if you can only find one to sustain you!
And if any of you are able to support at this time with a store purchase (see the new Gift Card option below!), or a session booking, my gratitude and blessings will truly be countless, like grains of sand!
Have a truly heartwarming Thanksgiving week, wherever you are in the world.
From my heart to yours
