When we take the time to recognize when we are happy and what that feels like, it becomes easier to recreate.
Those of us on the path of personal and spiritual growth have a tendency to analyze our unhappiness in order to find the causes and make improvements. But it is just as important, if not more so, to analyze our happiness. Since we have the ability to rise above and observe our emotions, we can recognize when we are feeling joyful and content. Then we can harness the power of the moment by savoring our feelings and taking time to be grateful for them. Recognition is the first step in creating change, therefore recognizing what it feels like to be happy is the first step toward sustaining happiness in our lives. We can examine how joy feels in our bodies and what thoughts run through our minds in times of bliss. Without diminishing its power, we can retrace our steps to discover what may have put us in this frame of mind, and then we can take note of the choices we’ve made while there. We might realize that we are generally more giving and forgiving when there’s a smile on our face, or that we are more likely to laugh off small annoyances and the actions of others when they don’t resonate with our light mood. Once we know what it feels like and can identify some of the triggers and are aware of our actions, we can recreate that happiness when we are feeling low. Knowing that like attracts like, we can pull ourselves out of a blue mood by focusing on joy. We might find that forcing ourselves to be giving and forgiving, even when it doesn’t seem to come naturally, helps us to reconnect with the joy that usually precedes it. If we can identify a song, a picture, or a pet as a happiness trigger, we can use them as tools to recapture joy if we are having trouble finding it. By focusing our energy on analyzing happiness and all that it encompasses, we feed, nurture, and attract more of it into our lives, eventually making a habit of happiness. “A habit of happiness”…WOW!! Do we have a “habit” of responding to certain things in a certain way? We chose that way of responding at some point in time to certain events, situations or issues. What occurs out of that is that anything that is similar to that situation that occurs, triggers that emotion all over again. Again, the key to happiness lies inside of you, not outside. To look for exterior things to bring you joy is merely a reflection of the lack of self- love, self- respect and value that is missing in your life. When occurs when you stand in your own personal power is simple. If a circumstance, situation or another person’s behavior in any way steals your joy, your happiness…you have allowed that to happen by giving away your power. Your response to all of life’s situations are what create a peaceful, fulfilling and joy filled life! Healing Light and Love, CAT

Healing Light and Love, CAT Each moment is a new beginning...I repeat, The Point of Power Is In The Present Moment. This is where the changes take place, right here and right now in our own minds. It doesn't matter how long we've had a negative pattern, an illness, poor relationships, lack of finances or self-hatred. You can begin to make a shift TODAY, raising your vibrational frequency.
Your problem no longer needs to be the truth for you. It can now fade back to the nothingness from whence it came. You can do it!! Remember: you are the only person who thinks in your mind. YOU are the power and authority in your world. Your thoughts and beliefs of the past have created this moment. What you are now choosing to believe, think and say will create the next moment and the next day, and the next month and the next year! Yes YOU! I can give you the most marvelous advice coming from my years of experience, yet you can continue to choose to think the same old thoughts, you can refuse to change and keep all your problems. YOU are the power in your world. YOU get to have whatever you choose to think. This moment begins the new process. Each moment is a new beginning for you right here and now. Isn't that great to know? This moment is the Point of Power. This moment is where the change begins. Consciously choose your thoughts. Watch and listen to what you say. If you hear yourself expressing any negative words, stop in mid-sentence. Either rephrase the sentence or just drop it. You could even say "Out." Watch how quickly things change for you as you are changing the frequency of what you are putting out to the universe., lovingly embracing and returning the ego to Source and stepping into your Higher Self/Soul and Spirit. Light and Love, CAT You have all the power within you to get through anything that life throws at you. Instead of labeling with perception, the concepts of negative and positive as it relates to each experience you have in your life, try to see things from a big picture standpoint. Ask yourself, how can this help me to see or learn something? Can I use this to shift my perception? Clear some emotions within myself that have been triggered? Realize something within another and accept it?
Whatever it may be, instead of simply reacting, slow things down and observe. You will find that you have the tools to process emotions and illness quickly when you see them for what they are and explore why they came up. If you believe you will get sick all the time, and believe you have pain because it's all out of your control (victim behavior) you will continue to have it all in an uncontrollable manner until you realize YOU have the power over everything that you attract within your body and within your life! Change your perception, change your frequency! Everything is here to help you!! Healing Light and Love, CAT When I tell someone they are a "spark of Divinity" pure light always, it is not a sentiment that is easily embraced. We are the harshest judges of our past mistakes and behaviors, talking negatively to ourselves and not taking care of our personal needs to step into our higher, true selves.
Life only occurs in the present moment and all that has happened up to this point is in Divine order. Every choice, every experience whether your perception is negative or positive, has been provided for lessons to be learned, supporting your growth and expansion. We are evolving from ego to soul which we have chosen by coming to planet Earth at this time in history. Nothing is random, no person is random, everything is purposefully happening and here to assist you in stepping into your greatness! Love yourself first and foremost. Put your self care as a priority in your life. Pursue what brings you happiness and joy as this is the path to your very soul. Visualize your body filled with light and practice holding that light as that is truly who you are. The journey itself is the most important as we pursue the actualization of Oneness Consciousness with the Divine. That is the destination. Healing Light and Love, CAT Do you enjoy sitting like a pretzel, uncomfortably squirming while every possible thought imaginable comes into your head? At which point, you make yourself wrong because you can't meditate? Sound familiar?
This stops many people from meditation and it doesn't have to be this way. Ultimately, we are simply getting into a state of peaceful "being" which can be done in 5 minute increments throughout the day. AND you can sit normally and comfortably too!! This is Heart-Based meditation created by the HeartMath Institute. There are 5 meditations which are taught during our Heart-Based Living class at The Wellness Sanctuary. We are currently offering this class every other Monday. Checkout meetup.com/WheatonWellness for dates. Simply sit quietly and focus on your heart space. Breathe deeply, 5 breaths, three times until you feel relaxed. Now generate a feeling of appreciation, love and compassion. Think about things you are grateful for and people you love. Send this feeling to yourself and out to the world! Repeat as often as possible. You just meditated!! and raised your vibrational frequency by 10 mhZ. Healing Light and Love, CAT If you have been tuning in, this blog series is a conversation about being intuitive. I have briefly touched on the importance of personal work to evolve into your true, higher self. You cannot evolve without confronting and embracing your ego, and addressing your fixed way of being created for various reasons throughout your life. It is when the false self is dismantled that you step into your greatness. At this level, your vibrational frequency is raised and many of your gifts will begin to surface.
In my experience, the most intense, yet impactful work that we engage in at The Wellness Sanctuary is the Inner Child Workshop. This work is done one on one and in the highest level of privacy. We learn how and why we have created a false self and how our wounded inner child is still running the show. With specific questions we are able to gauge the level of impact at four very crucial developmental stages in our lives. We address the infant, toddler, preschool and school age child. Specific exercises, meditations, letter writing and debriefing sessions assist in reclaiming our inner child, giving them the love, safety and support that was so devastingly absent in our upbringing. Are you ready to champion your inner child and step into your greatness? Text me at 815.263.4537 and let's transform your life!!
