Does the thoughts we think & believes we belief effect our life experiences ?

19/11/2017

As I practiced yoga in my garden, the inspired hit took over and before I knew it I had the camera on and rolling with this Facebook live video to explore this important and valuable topic. Scroll down to play the video. 

My heart whispers there is no time like the present, no need to over think it ! 

I usually weave into big life transformational topics like this one some part of my own authentic story to demonstrate.  

What I share in this video is part of the roots of how I / we created and attracted into my life the opportunities and inspired action steps to bring about and co-create our 'dream vision' which is Vibrant Living Retreat & Mountain View Massage Day Spa . 

Before we took over Vibrant Living property I was doing my own inner personal development and transformational journey for a few years. At the same time I organically build up Mountain View Massage Day Spa in Hanmer Springs. Along my journey I realised I had  many limiting belief systems and thoughts to let go of if I was to align my energies with my dreams and open up to new possibilities for creating them into my manifested reality. 

I was realising that I had to build up my self esteem, self acceptance, self trust and self belief as a entrepreneur, way shower and pioneer of new approaches to life, health, wellness. Later on I began to discover that there was even bigger visions for this life waiting for me to open to when ready on a soulful level beyond my comprehension and required  my inner faith. 

Making this video stretched me a little more as I revealed a little of my story about getting drunk after my own wedding ceremony in 2008, waking up the next day feeling anxious, confused and ashamed of my behaviour.  After that experience in 2009 Steve & I went on a road trip for a 10 day honeymoon which was absolutely required by moi. On the trip I started to read a book called " Integrity is everything" . This book for the 1st time enlightened me to the facts of universal principles like LOA and that I could create the life of my authentic desires and dreams; that anything was possible when I believed it could be and acted accordingly and got into vibrational resonance with it.

A few months after reading this book I left my employment position which was working in the Hanmer Springs Spa beside the hot pool complex not far from where I live and run my wellness business from currently . I left there in 2009 feeling the fears & excitements intensely about stepping out onto what felt like the big unknown as yet path of the entrepreneur, with hope in my heart and finger crossed I could pull it off somehow.

With so much to learn and unlearn I messed up along the way, I took a few roads that I had to find my way back from, discovering in the process more deeply about my own truer values, visions and deeper passion or bigger 'WHY's'.  On my honeymoon road trip, once I recovered from my yucky ungrounded hungover anxious feelings, I made a strong commitment to myself to never abandon myself again by  getting lost in alcohol in a vein attempt to escape some emotional discomfort and relinquish all self responsibility.  Thankfully 9 years later I have kept my promise to myself, I still enjoy a lovely organic glass of wine or 2 but always from a place of enjoyment and not as an escape.

In 2009 I started to discover to empower myself and to heal the wounded healer within. As I grew up being a peace maker for my wonderfully dysfunctional family there was self worth and self respect to restore. I had to find a way to come back into inner trust with my heart, resolve any past issues unresolved energetically and ignite my fire of creative expression in the world however imperfect or irrational it may seem to myself or others. 

The wellness tools I share in my wellness retreats is many of the same  BODY-MIND-SOUL tools I discovered along my way that helped me to release my limiting beliefs and low self esteem thinking. Instead I began to focus on new thoughts and beliefs that supported the creation of the life I truly desired to experience each day.

Step by step over the years I was learning how to calm my egoic  little self perceiving itself in separation and with all its self doubts, concerns, worries, fears, inner conflicts and resistance tendencies and walk instead more deeply into my soulful ~ visionary path with confidence, ease and trust of life to be at my back every step of the way.  " I trust myself and I trust life to support and protect me " has been one of my affirmation I have used over the years . 

I find it helps me to relate to my dear ego self (the  little me self ) as the student of life and my inner wise self  ( the bigger or higher self ) as the master self leading the way and guiding me along day by day when I take the time to quite my mind and listen to this inner still voice.  This inner wise self or higher self has a much bigger view of my life path and  soulful purpose as does all higher selfs.  If it was just up to my Ego self I would not be jumping on camera so much or stepping into new unknown territory. My ego still has its insecurities and hang ups just like everyone has, I have just learnt the tools to not let it take over the driver seat of my life 24/7.

I sincerely hope and trust you find what I share in this video below of some support, insights and encouragement along your life path  amidst the challenges and confusions of life on our earthly planet. 

If I can help join some dots of understanding and insights in a practical down to earth way that brings hope, encouragement and inspirations, then I am delighted and my soul is super happy living on divine purpose. Thanks you :-) 

Vibrant Love & Abundant Blessings ,

    Mary Jo,  Steve & the Vibrant Team !  

    Our Blog is a resource for us at Vibrant Living to share the good news, news; that which supports our human empowerment, V.L. updates and wellness inspirations to seed new possibilities,  insights, hope and connections. 

    Most of all we intend to share the good vibes that enhance living a vibrantly empowered and creative life in body-mind-spirit. 

    Vibrant Living is our dream vision coming to life and it is our greatest honour and joy to have the capacity to offer our wellness services in our beautiful retreat sanctuary in the alpine village of Hanmer Springs, New Zealand. 

    We acknowledge we are living in some of the most wondrous and crazy years on planet earth. Years that are proving themselves to be years of great changes, life transitions and transformations. Years that  at times will challenge each one of us individually and collectively to dive deeper to the very core of us, with the aim to crack open our hearts, release the past and reveal something new and liberating.  

    We are each in so many different ways being challenged to review our understandings of life as we thought we knew it; uncover our highest values and core beliefs about ourself and our place, direction and purpose within this life. 

    However in the midst of the challenges, chaos, stressful living, over whelm, anxieties, daily pressures and shocks to the body-mind-emotional system is a great opportunity to grow in ways beyond anything we have realised.  Hence the wellness industry if one of the fasting growing industries on the planet as more and more people want to empower there health, fitness, vitality and general well being. 

    " When things seem to be falling apart, what if they are actually falling together " .

    At Vibrant Living we are here to be of support to those that resonant as a bridge of  authentic light;  lighting up with care, vibrancy and compassion the opportunities to release the old daily habits and paradigms that does not work anymore or are simply outdated in our modern world that is in fact birthing a new cosmic 26,000 year cycle of energies and vibrations onto our planet earth.  There is a much bigger picture to current events and we are each being asked to play our unique and relevant parts. 

    We are in a new galactic cycle in which humanity is being encouraged to co-create a new template of living that restores personal empowerment,   harmonious living, innate abundance and sustainable wellness in body, mind, emotions and spirit.

    It is a great paradigm shift and a very rewarding one for those who choose to open to the new possibilities and make heart centred & gut guided choices with trust being redeemed in ones own life guiding source once more to follow ones passions, purpose and joy.  

    Vibrant Living just happens to be ours and we feel blessed each and every day to embrace this beautiful gift of life and be of divine service to this glorious life we are co-creating.
