Hello Anna!
My name is Merri and I’m a fellow CGW alumni. I came across your blog and website a few months ago and I found this post yesterday. Thank you so much! This has been the story of my life since I’ve come into personal development, I’ve been waiting and asking for someone outside myself to tell me what to do, but no more!
Thanks again and good luck with your new job!

I love how you are able to say things in such a wonderful, clear, conscise way, Anna! I enjoy reading your articles, they help me sort through myself and gain wisdom and clarity. So thank you.

I stumbled upon this article at the right time for myself, I think. I’ve been doing some work on uncovering conficting or unhelpful core beliefs recently, and this really drummed into the realisation that I’ve grown up in a world where I strongly picked up the desire to deny my true self in order to be socially accepted (comes back to that damned people-pleasing…), and that lead me to have the complimentary (although it set me back hugely) belief that i need to obtain permission from an external authority figure for any major decision or change i wanted to make, because i wasn’t enough of an authority on myself, and i couldn’t rock the boat too much.

so, working on working through and letting go of those, now…

Hi Joseph,

Thanks for your comment – I’m really glad you are enjoying the articles. As for your question, I’m not sure. It could be a cleansing.

If you feel like you are unbalanced, then read this article: http://www.psychicbutsane.com/positive-thinking-and-healing/how-to-avoid-spiritual-addiction-stay-grounded-on-your-spiritual-path

Some people found some of the suggestions uninspiring but they are really great for balancing your energy and shifting your focus.

Oh I also have another comment and question that someone can hopefully answer.

I think I’m for sure one of those “lollipop” people with the upper chaks engorgered and once before (and now today and probably more often since it’s now my focus) I really concentrated on feeding my root chaks anddd I feel this immense I could say pressure welling up in my lower gut and I almost feel like throwing up but it’s like the pressure from this isn’t coming from my sotmach (like it usually would) but from a level deeper (the root one?) and I’m not really sure how to work with this or what it means… is it an energy clensing or a powering up? How can I play with this… anyway cheers for now and thanks

I’ve been reading your blog now for about 5 hours straight.. post after post after post and it’s amazing stuff. The bit about you being great for those finding a career and (I think it was) working on root chakras is bang on! I’ve recently entered a new relationship and wanting to be able to share some fun things (like trips) and thinking more about my future (in detail and what it wil take from a material vs spiritual standpoint) has led me to see that I really need to get my butt in gear (which I have been trying (yes there is no try) to do in my career that’s running along side uni for over a year now) and reading all these blogs is really helping me break through. One HUGE realization (at least for me) I just had is that I may choose to do something or not to do it however I will NEVER let fear dictate this again in any of it’s sneaky forms. I no longer welcome fear in my life.. I’m eradicating it and for sure not acting on it because it does not serve me at all… so my new phrase gleaming on my white board is “what are you actually afraid of” followed by… “ok, now what do you want?”
I really want to thank you and everyone you collaborate with for these fantastic materials

A little known (at least to most people I talk to) guy that also really helped me is J Krishnamurti so I’m plugging him to a lot of people and thought I’d share him here to check him out

Cheers,

Joseph

nice. yes, it is difficult to master if from the time you were born the mainstream world says this is the way that it is. We’ve gotten so used to thinking about things in a way that is not condusive to happiness. I think of all the time wasted just wondering whether or not there is another world when I could have been developing a closer tie to it. It’s irritating. I know this, the way into this type of more magical living totally depends upon how willing you are to acknowledge the questions that are in your heart, make your own hypothesis, than see. I mean it’s the crux of the scientific method. Propose something based on an assumed outcome and then test it out. I’m in a stage in my life where the “intuitive wheels” so to speak are turning. So many little signs, arising every day. At any moment now, something else really significant seems to be about to take place. I am appreciative of this inner knowledge. I just wish that we could all open up more to this. I think it would make the world an easier place. For those who believe in the Christian story of Adam and Eve, it’s almost as if something happened back there to close off access to an Edenic system of living. It’s as if we closed the door on an inner temple and have so many layers to get through just to open it back up. I wonder how many people really belive they can fly. There’s a song about it but do people really believe it? I do. I just think we’re closed off to the inner placement or belief that allows it to happen. If I were born and raised to believe that I couldn’t walk, and was systematically kept from trying somehow, then I wouldn’t be able to walk. I feel that generation upon generation has been told “no” you can’t, you shouldn’t, you won’t. Anyways, I’m glad there are sites like this that continue you to provide confirmation. Sometimes its hard to keep your heart open, up and engaged in world of the light–it always helps to have these type of help posts along the way. peace.

Excellent article. Hits the nail on the head for me (and, I think, a lot of other people) who spend a lot of time seeking spritual advice because we are seeking permission, instead of just getting on with doing what we want.

Great post, but I have some questions. I’ve been doing my best to manifest finances. I moved to AZ in 2007 because I thought I was listening to my “gut or intuition” that nudged me to move to the Southwest from the Midwest. Well, for the past 2 years, I’ve struggled with finances. I thought I’d be able to land temporary assignments or something (have 3 degrees and work experience). I did land a writing gig, but it wasn’t and isn’t enough to pay the bills (my hours were just cut — making $10) a day.

I keep asking questions such as “what did I do wrong?” “why does it take so long?” (gardens do not take that long to grow) “was it a mistake to move to AZ?” “was I wrong in thinking that I was supposed to move to AZ?” “are there forces beyond my control that are against me in AZ?” “am I over thinking all of this?” “what can I do better?” Needless to say, I have not received answers to my question. I just paid Dec. 09 rent and other bills and do not see how I can stay or even move (thinking about going back to school for a M.A. in Counseling — programs are in other states — not sure). Sigh…this is all very frustrating.

I give myself permission to be, do, or have what I want. I just finished two screenplays. Never in my life did I ever think or consider writing screenplays. I really would like to see where I’m going or at least be given an inclining of my next action step.
