Today I'm grateful for... #140

Looking at him and feeling pure love

Spending time in sunny parks sitting under trees

Going for walks, feeling one with my city, immersing myself in the energies around me

Exciting adventures into new territories, feeling a whole scale of emotions between excitement and anxiety, and savouring every flavour of them

43Things. The maintainers not being around much – at least not in a way that’d show to us – has been worrying for the past year or more but I’m grateful for whatever time 43Things will be online. You guys are amazing and the atmosphere is so conscious, positive, growth-oriented and aware here.

Certain 43Thinger’s unbelievably sexy Latin American Spanish accent. It’s the culmination of everything Spanish should be! It’s at least million times sexier than the accents of Benjamín Vicuña and Roberto San Martín combined. And that’s an almost unreally huge compliment when it’s coming from me. :D I wish I could kidnap him and keep him as a pet. Don’t tell him that :D

Only two weeks till I get my darling puppy! She’s the most adorable, calm, curious being. I love her, I love the breeders (which is important since we’ll be seeing each other a lot and going to breed shows together). It feels so meant to be. There are some things that suggest I’ll have to work on her a little more than I thought I would, but I feel I can handle it and help her to grow into a perfectly balanced happy adult dog. :-)

Healing. Being able to allow healing come through me, and being able to allow someone’s illness and pain taken away must be the most changing experience of my life. I’m currently spending a few hours a day focused on becoming a better healer, but will probably start spending even more time on this soon. My current “main” patient has a hopeless case of cancer – her treatments were recently stopped and she was given up on by the medical community. I never know whether I’ll be able to help someone or not because I’m always committed to the highest good of the patient, and I can’t know what that highest good is. So far everyone has been helped, but I know at some point there will be someone whose highest good is not to heal. It is very difficult to let go of wanting to help someone and wanting to get a certain outcome, but if I don’t do so, the energy flow stops. My mind can’t be there to control the situation; something else has to take its place.

Embrace the daring adventure my life is meant to be
Dreams...

I took a long break from having dreams, and that period served me well. It left me feeling content and complete in the present moment without having to add anything to it in order to be happy and at peace, but now I’m feeling drawn to start having some sort of a vision for my future again. I believe I’ve got my health to the point where it’s not likely I’ll die any minute so I think it’s okay for me to start dreaming a little again instead of having to be spiritually mature all the time and simply stay present accepting unconditionally whatever hell I am in. :-) Regardless of what happens, I’m happy already, but life is an exciting adventure and if I’m physically able to, I’d like to explore everything the world has to offer.

In my current dream vision, I spend May, June, July and August in Finland, and otherwise travel abroad. I actually wouldn’t mind spending the whole year in Finland because I love living here right now, but my health can’t handle the long winter anymore so going abroad is the best option. In this vision I’ve also created a job for myself that I can do anywhere. Currently I’m investing to make a living (although at the moment I mostly try to keep the inflation from eating what I have, and am not too focused on making more money), but it is definitely not my passion, but simply something that has worked well for me for purely financial purposes. However, in my dream vision as I have more energy, I’d like to switch to concentrating on things I’d really enjoy doing and try out if I could make a living out of them. I’ve a lot of experience running popular websites, forums and blogs, which I think would serve me well while trying out being a professional blogger. It’s tough to make a living that way when you write in Finnish, but I can’t see any harm trying. There are also several authors and bloggers writing in English (whose work isn’t copyrighted) that I’d want to try translating into Finnish. If I get good at it, maybe I could be brave and try translating Healing and Recovery by David R. Hawkins into Finnish… it’s a book I’d recommend for a lot of people I know but they don’t know English well enough to read it, so translating it would be a very personal project.

My biggest passion at the moment would be to become a healer. I can’t see myself making a living that way, though, because I wouldn’t want to ask for much money from people who are in a bad place with their health and lives and truly need my help. So in my dream vision I’d spend a few hours a day healing people almost for free, and would then get passive income online.

Generally though, the vision I have for my life is very simple: I want to connect with more kindred spirits, enjoy the sun, spend a lot of time with dogs, go for long barefoot walks, enjoy a healthy body that is able to run again, switch between spending time in big cities and in nature, improve as a healer, raise my level of consciousness, grow as a human being, have discussions with fascinating people, let love flow freely through me, eat healthy food, embrace freedom, treat everyone with kindness and compassion, swim in warm tropical seas, have a little romance in every day, take one step at a time, honour my opportunity to live by living my life fully. I want to do what I’m meant to do, not what I used to think I wanted to do. I’ve completely let go of the idea of being an author and a doctor, and am just open to all possibilities. I want life to be able to use me for what it needs me most for.

Since I’m only about to get my first dog ever, I obviously can’t know yet how terrible or good I am with dogs when it comes to my own, but from the experience I’ve with dogs so far, I feel very drawn to that direction as well. For the past couple of years, I seem to have started to have a strange connection with animals, and especially dogs – many have wanted to follow me and I’ve been able to go for walks with them without leashes, sometimes with as many as six dogs at a time. I don’t ‘speak dog’ all that well, and although I know the basics of dog psychology, I’m definitely not that great at it either. But I’ve found it easy and effortless to connect and communicate with dogs through using energy, and have had no problems controlling a few dogs without leashes. It could be that I’m about to discover that I’m absolutely horrible with my own dog and end up ruining her completely, but if not… maybe someday, someway, I might work with dogs some way or another as well.

I feel no pressure to do or be anything special anymore. I wake up with a lightness in my being every morning, not needing the day to make me happy, not having to accomplish any goals. But I couldn’t lose my love for life and adventures, wanting to embrace the unknown, discovering new sides of the world. Currently I feel most drawn to meeting a lot of people, improving as a healer, and, as silly as it probably sounds to most people, connecting with dogs. Some things are very challenging in my life at the moment, but these three aspects of it are going amazingly well. I’m definitely exactly where I’m supposed to be.

Pure coconut water and green smoothies

June Bootcamp 2013: Half Done, Just Begun
Goals for June

I’m super excited about summer and this time of the year when we’re somewhere between summer and spring is my favourite. The weather has been gorgeous, sunny and summery lately and I’m savouring every minute of it. I want this summer to be all about spending time in nature, getting plenty of fresh air, soaking in the energy of the sun, and generally enjoying the magic of Finnish summer days here in the north where the sun rarely sets and it’s light almost 24 hours a day.

Some goals for June:

Eat wild plants daily

Improve as a healer

Get plenty of sun and fresh air

Swim in the river every morning

Invite more fascinating people into my life

Puppy proof my apartment and vacation home

Try to grow a palm tree out of the seeds I took with me from Spain

Nourish my body, mind and spirit with excellent food and water, good books, barefoot walks, and long discussions with interesting people

Dogs

Summer

Inner peace

Organic strawberries

Discussions with strangers

The scent and beauty of blossoming bird cherry trees

A long barefoot walk in the forest, feeling one with nature

Having enough energy to clean properly for the first time in years – I love how my apartment looks and feels now! It’s so clean, decluttered, inviting, full of light. Cleaning is like meditation.

May 22nd, 2013

Someone still somehow thinking I’m not a strange spiritual weirdo who has completely lost the last small fraction of her mind that was still remaining? No worries, I’m sure this entry will push even those that are now unsure about my sanity and on the edge way over it. :D

I don’t even know what to say anymore – how could I possibly put into words how cheerful, happy, peaceful, grateful and alive I feel? This past month has been the best month of my life by far. But the feeling is difficult to put into words because everything that I used to describe as ‘happiness’ feels very superficial and fleeting compared to how I feel now. Actually it isn’t even a feeling, but rather a way of being. I’ve never been as intensively alive as I’m now.

I’ve had an abundance of wonderful things happen, but listing them wouldn’t tell how I feel, and I feel that they aren’t the cause, but perhaps the result, of being in a constant flow of cheerful, luminous, loving energies. Waves of such powerful joy go through me that I can’t help but to smile all the time. I’d want to wrap everyone I see in the streets in unconditional love, acceptance and hugs. (Those that I know I can fortunately actually wrap in those and hug them endlessly. :D)

One of the most incredible experiences of my life has been energy healing. It’s the kind of a thing most people haven’t heard of, and those that have usually think it must be nonsense (or have gone to an energy healer that isn’t very good at what he does), but when you experience it directly, perhaps especially as a giver, it is a very real, changing, powerful experience.

I started to notice this skill appearing during the time I was having life-threatening heart problems, probably because I wasn’t much in the ego during that time but simply present in the moment in deep acceptance of what was, and now I’ve been consciously developing these skills with teachers that have gone further on this path and are a lot more skilled than I am. It’s an amazing feeling to go into meditation, in a way step aside as a person and a personality, and let this powerful, healing, unconditionally loving energy flow through me into the person I touch with my hands.

I don’t feel like myself when I do this and couldn’t take any real credit for these skills. Of course I’ve put a lot of effort into inner growth and consciously chosen this path, but still as a person who has a name and a life history I couldn’t heal anyone; I can only step aside as a person and let healing come through me. Nowadays the feeling of not being here as a personality often remains otherwise as well, and instead of me there’s an unconditionally loving, accepting, soft, feminine, motherly energy in my place, that, curiously enough, actually is clearly more me than my personality ever was. This energy feels very individual, but it isn’t personal in the same way as who I am as a person is and I can’t take real credit for it.

May has truly been the best month of my life. Not that I still don’t have ways to go, but it suddenly hit me today that I’ve become the person I once dreamed I could be. I don’t know how far I’ll go on this path to become a healer, but so far I’ve never felt more in the right place at the right time as I do now.

Thank you, Life, for everything.

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future.

Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

Love

Living without fear

Wonderful new people to hug and connect with

Befriending my new neighbour and her adorable chihuahua

Learning from dogs how to live in the present moment, fully engaged in life

Having a warm home to live in, healthy food to eat, and clean water to drink

Being able to look back in awe at the distance covered, the perils faced, and the heights attained

Having discovered a strong current to be in a flow with, letting it effortlessly carry me along, ending up in places I feel in my heart I was supposed to explore and learn from

Having started a little project of trying to compliment at least 10 strangers every day, mostly women. I feel that the energy between women is often quite toxic, competitive and negative, so spreading a few genuine compliments here and there and making a few people smile feels good. It seems I’ve been able to make a few strangers’ days too. :) We don’t generally talk to strangers in Finland so people are usually very surprised, sometimes negatively, when someone talks to them, but so far it seems I’ve only made people smile instead of creeping them out.

Feeling overwhelmed with gratitude when starting to write this entry, knowing I couldn’t put into words how I feel, or mention even a fraction of things that are going well in my life at the moment. I have my challenges that are pushing me to see how far I can go and many things are far from perfect, and yet, the imperfection is exactly how things are supposed to be right now. What a wonderful journey my life has been so far! In December and the following months it didn’t seem likely I’d live to see the spring, but here I am, and enjoying the adventure more than ever.
