The Basics

Let's talk foundation. Creating a foundation to come from has been the biggest life changing task I've created for myself. It's also where I start with all my clients.
What is your current foundation? Are you sad, angry, jealous, happy, uplifting, inspiring, a waterfall of all or something else? The point being, do you even know?
Awareness is the key that unlocks change
Until we make a conscious effort to become aware of our current being, doing, thinking, emotional state and the like, we keep doing what we've always done. Awareness is the key that unlocks the door of transformation.
Also once we see what is, now we become the power to create different. So what is it that you are wanting to create different? Do you like how you feel? What would you rather experience? What would you rather create?
I'm going to debunk a myth now.... No one can make you feel anything! I know you want to argue how untrue that statement is. In truth you and only you decide how you desire to feel. You and only you choose how you respond to what someone else says or does. You and only you decide if you will take it personal or as truth.
Let that simmer a moment. Really let it sink in. See if you can see the truth in the above.
Once you get it. Once you feel the possibility that you are the decider, you gain the freedom to take your power back from all the places you've been giving it away. That friend continues our conversation about what real freedom is!
Allow me to share what my foundation looks like:
It starts while I'm still in bed and realize I am awake. I begin with appreciation. I get to experience another day. I get to serve another day. I get to enjoy creation another day. I get to partner with Creator and creation and co-create miracles another day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Then I set an intention for this new day. What do I want to feel? What do I want to experience? What is it I am needing support with? I always remind myself here, that my work is not the "how". I turn that over to creation. I only need know what it is I am wanting. What is desire leading me to. I come from "I am fully supported by Creator and creation and all my earthly needs are supplied abundantly. I always have more than enough of all I need."
From here I move awake, aware, and conscious of who I am being, what thoughts are running through me and what thoughts am I going to give the power of creation to. Sure I forget to be awake as the day unfolds. When I remember I bring myself back to awareness. The more I do, the more I practice, the better I get at being continuously present in the now moment and what I am choosing to create.
Every morning after I go outside to great the day, I meditate for 1 hour minimum. If you don't have a meditation practice I highly recommend you create one for yourself. Learning to quiet the mind is crucial to the inner work that creates the outer transformation. Be willing to start with 5 minutes of sitting and see what occurs. Expand it by 5 minutes until you reach your desired time that feels best for you. Be willing to play, experiment and try things out while you are creating your foundation of meditation.
Next up, I workout. I do some kind of movement. Dance, weightlifting, a bike ride or walk, cardio, core, yoga, primal movement or sometimes a combination of them all! Create it your way. Allow the freedom of what is calling you in the moment to be your guide. Allow the foundation to be your commitment to show up for yourself!
As the day unfolds, I check in. I pause often. I tune inward. I connect to my higher self, guides, helpers, ancestors Spirit, Creator and I ask for support and guidance. Lead, guide and inspire me to be the best version of this one. Support me in being a light that inspires, uplifts, guides and supports those willing to live awake, aware and be the conscious creators of their life that they may create a life they love living. I am becoming the hollow bone that Creator lives through more and more. I am an empty vessel that love lives through more and more.
Before I close my eyes for the night. I set the intention that I will sleep well and wake feeling rested, vibrant and alive and indeed I do!
A master knows they are a forever student with Life. We never get it done. There is always more to see and always more to expand into.
I hope this supports you in creating and living your best life! I'd love to hear about your practice and foundation. I'd love to hear about what you've created for yourself and what you are expanding into. Leave a comment or send me a private message to anita@heartsecho.com
