The Lessons of Love and Life

Introduction My male client sat before me, arms crossed and told me straight up, “I am a skeptic, my wife came and saw you and I thought that you must have tricked her in some way so I have come to see for myself”. In my mind I thought, all right then, we better make this a good one! In contrast to his hard demeanor, I could sense that this man held a lot of pain inside of him and that he was really very sensitive. I knew his manner was only a front, an invisible barrier he had placed around himself to protect his heart, regardless of this knowing, he sat there looking intimidating and very uncomfortable. I have been doing my spiritual work for over two decades now and for the past 11 years as part of my full time professional business so I have learnt not to take this kind of reaction personally, how he was feeling really had nothing to do with me. When I tuned in for this man, the spirit of his deceased father came straight in and told me things there was no way I could have known including all of the emotional turmoil my client was holding onto. Through his soul lessons I helped him see how this was affecting his life today and how his behavior and interactions with others was being dictated by it. This closed off, stiff man sitting before me started to cry. He grabbed some tissues from the box on my desk and apologised for sobbing, his body language changed and he transformed into the person I knew was in there somewhere, his unguarded authentic self, someone he was desperately trying to hide and keep hidden from me and most probably a lot of others. Why do we hide our true selves? I am sure you, just like me would prefer to come into contact with this man’s true self instead of the defensive person he presented with. Wouldn’t the world be a much better place if we could all show up without our emotional armour? We show up like this because we are protecting ourselves from others and the perceived emotional threat they may cause us. This inadvertently disconnects us from others and our true and authentic self and its hard work. Its hard work to always keep yourself guarded. To show up how you perceive others want you to be or show up trying to be who you think you should be. It just too dam hard trying to keep everyone else happy, let alone yourself, isn’t it? But, what is far worse than this, is that in the protecting ourselves we can actually create the circumstances we are trying to protect ourselves from, through our own perceptions and behaviour. If you are repeating a negative life pattern over and over again then you are creating them and it’s time to understand how and why. The reason you’ve been missing this is the same reason most people are missing it, because most people don’t know how to make conscious contact with their inner world and understand their own emotional lessons, filters, patterns and behaviours. Therefore, nothing changes and these lessons just keep showing up through life’s issues creating cycles of frustration, anxiety, fear, anger and relationship problems. There is a huge bonus to learning and doing this work, it will also make you more intuitive and connected to more than your eyes can see. However, this is not just about being intuitive, it’s so much more than that, it will give you the ability to know and accept yourself, and help you find your true purpose in life so that you can follow your own pathway in the light of who you truly came here to be. Alrighty then, are you ready? Let’s learn more about what it really means to be you…
