- Are you still holding onto your past?
- Do you find it hard to live in the present and to create the future you have always dreamed of?
Then Maybe What You Need is a ‘Detox’ of the Soul …
I have just come across this great book by speaker, movie maker and writer Debbie Ford, who is also the best-selling author of The Dark Side of the Light Chasers and The Shadow Effect with Deepak Chopra.
What’s great about this book is that it provides simple but effective daily practices to help you activate some of the ‘key agents of change’ to help you navigate through releasing emotional and spiritual toxicity from your past, challenging you to become grounded in the present, and inspiring you to activate your greatest gifts to create your ‘ideal’ future.
7 Key Lessons and Insights from Within …
Insight #1: You must understand that divine consciousness (your soul’s journey) and human consciousness (your ego’s path) coexist and are operating within you all the time.
Insight #2: You are designed to reinvent and recreate yourself, over and over again for the evolution of your own soul.
Insight #3: There is a ‘golden essence’ within you that has been covered within ‘human clay’ of past upsets, hurts and disappointments. While this clay provides you protection and safety, it keeps you separated from your divine essence. Therefore the job of every human being is to break through the clay and reveal their true ‘golden essence’ to the world.
Insight #4: You must recognise that there are thousands of life-draining beliefs and if you attach to any of these negative beliefs, and call them your own, they become your limitations. That’s when you literally “Ease God Out” (EGO).
Insight #5: All real change requires risk. You must take risks everyday of your life. You must get up each morning and ask not “What can I do that is the same today?”, but in fact the complete opposite: What can I do that is different?
Insight #6: Your soul’s mission is always to serve you in the grandest way it can and to support you in growing and evolving in new ways. Therefore, are you going to follow the path that you’ve always known? Or are you going to roll the dice and bet all your resources on a power greater than yourself, a source that literally has the power to change everything in your life?
Insight #7: The world is waiting for you. To follow the call to new, uncharted lands, you must first be willing to trust the possibilities that exist within you. The opportunities and possibilities are endless when you honour your soul, value yourself first, and commit to follow the inspired guidance of your heart in each moment.
