Miri Messages 
  “From Bondage to Living in the Promised Land’


I wrote this message five years ago and it still feels relevant -   Feb. 14, 2012  - 
__________________________________________________________
 
"We are enamoured with our selves ...
with our personal self... our 'me.'

We primp it, we prop it up, we work on making it better, more attractive, more educated, we the hide parts we don’t like and accentuate the likeable pieces.


Always more, more, and more to do.
This personal self is a never-ending project.


Along with the fixing and working on making it better comes the belief that if I do it better - I will be happier, find love, fulfillment …

All by creating a better me.

Do you see how it just doesn’t work? 
Beloved, Please let that project go!"   
Kuthumi

___________________________________________________

We do not need to make ourselves whole.
Remove the blinders, allow the veils to drop.  Allow your hearts to open.  Rest your weary eyes and place your attention on the part of you that is already whole, has never been broken, lost, wounded, in need of fixing … to the part of you that is not struggling.

This part of you is already present. We are made of this substance, already. Connect with the Light, the Essence of who you already are …
I AM that I AM already, here and now.
We are in an evolutionary revolution … a place on the spiral of life that is taking us out of this need to keep fixing and patching and adding more … to realizing that what we are seeking will not be found through this process. 

“God is not found by adding anything,
but by a process of subtraction.”   
 Meister Eckhart, Christian Mystic

The path of Unconditional Love blazes before you.  May you come to remember that Loving Your Self, and that means all of the different parts of your self, is the most important thing you are here to do now.


The Beatles sang it – ‘Love Love Love. Love is all you need.’ Not the sappy, emotional, oh I need you kind of Love... it is 
the Unconditional Deeply Allowing and Accepting Essence of Love that we are all made from.  Bring this forth now.  It IS already within you.  

We all have a personality, in fact, if you look you see that your personality has many aspects to it.... the persona that shows up at work, with a friend, with your partner or your child.  Our personalities are a necessary part of the human experience. 

Personality comes from the Greek word persona.  It means mask.

“Become a Stranger to Your Self” writes Maureen MossLet go of all the props and pseudo selves.  They are being washed away anyway … as you recover your True Essence and become authentically you.

Maybe you don't know how to start.  I would love to help you. 
Please contact me for a Free 30 minute Consultation.  I have three openings remaining for consultations next week.

Are Already Infused with The Light of
Your Divine Essence

  WHY I'M DONE TRYING TO BE 'MAN  ENOUGH' 

Ted Talk by Justin Baldoni 

"I’m just a guy who woke up after 30 years, realizing that I’m living in a state of conflict… Conflict with who I think I am in my core, and conflict with who the world tells me as a man I should be."



The link to his Ted Talk is below - Please share it, especially with the men in your life.   

But before you jump to the link, I was inspired to offer a Reiki Class for men only. Continue reading to see why I was inspired, and then enjoy Justin Baldoni's vulnerable confessions and visions. 
_____________________________

A few weeks ago this amazing man asked about taking a Reiki Class.  He is intuitive, aware, spiritual and wise 

And then I felt the Divine Inspiration to offer a Reiki Class for men. 

I would love to support and gather the men who have felt that they don’t exactly fit in because they are perhaps too sensitive, spiritual, aware, empathic, creative ...  to come together, be recognized and appreciated by me as a representative of the Feminine and The Collective, experience the support of and connection with other men like themselves, experience a Reiki Class together ... and realize that they are not alone.  That in fact, these aware, sensitive, spiritual, heartful, creative, empathic men are the archetype of the new masculine. 


Join with each other, feel the support, begin to 

see yourself as The Gift that you are and 
Embrace who you truly are. 

Reiki One Class
Sat, Feb 3, 10-6pm in Ballantyne

*Learn about Chakras and the energy fields that surround your body
*Learn how to balance your chakras with Reiki
*Learn the History of Reiki & Traditional Hand Positions for giving a Reiki Treatment to yourself and to another person
*Practice giving Reiki to yourself and practice giving a Reiki treatment to another
*Experience Holy Love, a Guided Meditation that connects you  with Unconditional Love and your True Self.  

After this Reiki Class you will be a Certified Reiki Practitioner able to give a Reiki treatment to yourself, to  another person and to pets too!  

Sat, Feb 3, 10-6pm in Ballantyne.  Cost:  $222. 
There will be plenty of time for conversation.

______________________________________________
Back to Justin Badoni's Ted Talk.   Justin says: 

"But I don’t have a desire to fit into the current broken definition of masculinity because I don’t just want to be a good man. I want to be a good human. 

And I believe the only way that can happen is if men learn not only to embrace the qualities that we were told are feminine in ourselves, but be willing to stand up, champion and learn from the women who embody them.

See if you can use the same qualities that you feel make you a man to go deeper," Baldoni says. "Your strength, your bravery, your toughness: Are you brave enough to be vulnerable? Are you strong enough to be sensitive? Can we redefine what these mean and use them to explore our hearts?

Part 1 - Monday evening, November 6, 2017
Part 2 is right below this 😊

I spent the day at the courthouse on jury duty.   I am exhausted….

Truth - I’m feeling a bit frazzled and overwhelmed and my head is buzzing a bit.  



Maybe the buzzing is actually in my ears and it’s the angels trying to get my attention.

A ‘wiser’ person would have given themselves 10 minutes to sit and breathe or meditate or do some self Reiki when they came home.

Not me.  Instead – I ignored the signs of stress... and continued with my ‘to do list’ ... followed my mind chatter.  



Here’s what I notice: 
This is a pattern that I’ve had for most of my adult life…
 

I ignore all the signs my body is giving me to
Pause and Take a Break. 

Instead I say –
“Let me just do one more thing and then I’ll take a break.”

But it’s never just one more thing.   There is always just one more thing after that… and then it’s several hours later...

Who is this phantom I am trying to impress with this insane work ethic?

Who is watching over my shoulder?
 
“Let me just do this one more thing and then I’ll take a break” is a lie and a life destroying habit… and I’ve had it for so long…

For who?  Why?  When did I get on this insane and self-destructive path?

The answers to these questions honestly don’t matter.

What matters is that I AM Noticing Honestly and Compassionately
especially today because my newest Reiki Students and I made a pact to check in with each other, to support and hold each other accountable to do some Self Reiki or meditation for ourselves every day for 21 days.

I know today is the day to break another way that I ignore me. I feel and know in my bones that I AM at the end of this pattern. 


Undoing it is not hard.  I know the medicine:
I just need to honestly notice when I’m falling into the old habit… 
 
and choose differently.
 
Slow Down     Pause     Take a Break

Make a different choice

Because I love and care about myself now….

I AM taking better care of me by being honest, paying attention and honoring what's true for me instead of ignoring when I’m stressed, tired, overwhelmed, frazzled because I have kept going for too long… and I need that pause and that break.

What are you ready to change, to stop doing…
And make a new and different choice for yourself
and your life 


instead of doing the same old thing?

Part 2 -Tuesday evening, November 7, 2017 

Well, maybe it’s not always quite so easy to make a new choice.

I realized this within 30 minutes of sending out the email last night



In just 30 minutes, I stumbled and I am humbled. 


I have a tendency to be on my computer late at night.  There I was ready to walk away and the thought arose - "Let me just check this one thing."
It would only take a minute.  Just one more thing please
I struggled. I wanted to walk away and not do just one more thing especially because the information I was looking for was not really important.

And the thought/impulse won and there I was back on my computer.  

This was an opportunity to 
deepen my compassion and understanding of how challenging it can sometimes be to make a new choice in your mind and then follow through and do it…. especially when the pattern has been in place for a long time.  
It helped me remember that our habits are woven into our brains…
and how deeply woven they are when they’ve been around for a while.
There is science behind this!

 
So sometimes it doesn’t happen on the first try. It can take time, commitment and persistence.  Do not give up or beat yourself up.  

Check out the work of Dr. Rick Hanson.  He makes it so easy to understand how the brain works and the latest brain science of neuroplasticity on his website and youtubes.

So today I’m your cheerleader, and mine too.   Don’t give up.  We can stop 'doing just one more thing’ or whatever it is you are ready to stop doing.
It may just take a bit of time.   And that’s okay. Remember you are undoing years of practice and habit.  Remember you are Spirit in a body 

I AM
 in Love with You

You come to a point in your life when nothing is working ...
And you’re not certain who you are anymore.
Your old ways and connections are not working-
the marriage, the job, even some friendships...
When you reach out for the familiar…. it isn’t there the way it was, or the way you need it to be.

It’s a very uncomfortable time, maybe even scary... to say the least.

Your foundation is crumbling.
 
I was introduced to Reiki and energy healing, the angels and spirituality during this time in my life... when nothing was working anymore.

Little did I know how important energy healing and Reiki would be, and how it would support the creation of a new foundation based in my True Self.  

Reiki supported my healing and transformation, and helped me truly establish the connection with my Higher Self - I AM That I AM.  

While Reiki is healing for the Mind, Body, Emotions and Spirit, everyone practices Reiki a little differently…. like teachers or car mechanics – we all show up a little differently.  ðŸ˜Š  

Some Reiki practitioners are masterful at helping with the physical body issues.  

For me – an important part of my offering is to
connect you more deeply with your Spirit.

For me and through me, Reiki is experienced as a Gateway to Your Soul…. connecting you more deeply with your Spirit.

I call this Soul Infusion.  You can read more about this on my website  www.OpportunitiesForTransformation.com/soul-infusion

".'The Beloved and The Beloved 
inspired by
'The Book of Awakening

Having the Life You Want
by Being Present to the Life You Have
by Mark Nepo

I don’t buy books the way I used to.  These days I just pull a treasured one from the shelf and begin to read it again, opening here and there…. having permission to not start at the beginning.
 
Today I opened to the passage titled - Beyond The Urgency – perfect of course, because there is a part of me that is always feeling an urgency 

to do, 
to speak, 
to correct, 
to fix myself or someone else,
to worry,
to decide, 
to know, 
to do….did I type ‘to do’ twice….  such is this part of my human self. 
 

We have so many parts to our human being self….  

Of course –
and this is the magic and mystery of being human – so many shades and hues and experiences to have and explore.


This is what I'd like to share from his book with you.

Mark Nepo writes:

“I learned this over and over, during the many crisis of cancer.

Unless someone is bleeding or can’t breathe, unless there is some true physical requirement to act swiftly, a sense of urgency is a terrible illusion, a trick that happens again and again, because life inside our skin and life outside our skin are forever different.

It is as hard as it is humbling. When feeling like I can’t sit still, I need more than ever to sit still. When feeling like I will die if I don’t have your approval, I need more than ever to die to my need for your approval…..

Now more than ever when you fear that being who you are is a knife to those you love, you must be strong inside where no one has seen you, for loving from there can only make those you love grow…..

In this way pray to know your place in the human family like you’ve never known it.

In this way, pray to have your True Self inch through the turmoil….

Love yourself the way you love your children or your dog or your dearest friend without reservation.

In this way, today with all its hardships will spill into tomorrow, and decisions will become as clear as streams thawing.”
        ____________________________________________________________
 
I cherish my newly emerging ability to wait till I am clear, to pause until the clouds pass and I can feel with more certainty and see what is mine to do next.  Sometimes I can do this pausing and waiting …. and sometimes I still react too quickly out of habit.  


And BOTH of these ways of responding to life are me
the one who feels this sense of urgency and must act in some way
and the one who can pause and breathe, trust and allow life to reveal and
show me... in its time and way,

~ Sinking into Self Compassion ~ 

Would You Like to Experience
Your Own Heart's Unconditional Love For You?


How do you really feel
When you shame, criticize, judge, or compare yourself with another? 

How much love, goodness, abundance are you open to receiving when YOU make yourself wrong, unworthy, bad, ashamed? 
I did this self-criticism dance for most of my life. 

About 15 years ago Spirit held up a mirror and
 I could no longer deny or ignore what I saw.


I saw that I did not have my true voice. I was not authentic.
I could not express my true feelings or needs. 


I saw that the way I spoke to myself wasn't empowering me.

I was literally chipping away at my self

and destroying my own feelings of self worth and joy,

which was keeping me from everything
I really wanted in my life.


Then I learned how to change all of it.
I can help you change your war against yourself too.  


Sinking into Self Compassion

Please join me in a workshop for 
Self-Acceptance and Self-Love
Sunday, August 13, 1-6pm 

If you are tired of:
* The judging, critical voices in your head that have you feeling like you're never good enough, worthy or okay as you are

* Always being kind, understanding and compassionate with others, and being impatient, frustrated, angry and mean with yourself

* Feeling like there is always something to fix or change about yourself or something to do better

Imagine that you can: 
* Stop being so hard on yourself and silence your inner critics

* Feel more lovable, worthy, and more comfortable in your own skin

* Be patient, understanding, kind, and accepting of yourself -
no matter what!


Miri creates a unique environment that facilitates
deep lasting transformation... by allowing you to
   * COMPASSIONATELY UNDERSTAND how you got to this place
of struggle and self rejection
* LEARN  HOW TO RELEASE your limiting patterns and beliefs
* REPLACE them with kindness and understanding for yourself

You will learn new ways to be with yourself and to talk to yourself that are supporting, healthy and healing. 
From here you create your new life. 

Using Interactive Dialogue, Teaching, Meditation, Art and Music 
I will help you connect with
YOUR OWN HEART'S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR YOU  
Experience the Warmth and Compassion of your own heart
 thawing and opening the frozen places inside of you

You're invited to an Introductory Workshop for 


Self Acceptance ~ Self Compassion

Self Love
Can you imagine how different your life would be if you lived with
Self Acceptance and Self Kindness instead of Rejecting, Shaming, Criticizing, Judging, Comparing and Hating parts of yourself?

Can you imagine how differently you might feel inside yourself?

I know because I lived there for most of my life and was so used to it... until about 15 years ago when my Spirit held up the mirror... and I could no longer avoid seeing how painful my self talk was and how, bit by bit, I was destroying my self and also limiting my life, my freedom and my creativity.  

Learning how to change these toxic limiting beliefs and patterns was one of the hardest, and also most important things I had to do for myself.  I'm not done... but I've come far enough to know that if you want to 
swim in the sea of self kindness, self love and inner harmony I can help you and it will truly transform your life. 


If you’re feeling the call to bring more self kindness and self acceptance into your life and aren’t sure how to begin… I was there and I would love to support you.  

Please join me for this Introductory Workshop
 
Self Acceptance ~ Self Compassion ~ Self Love 

I'll be sharing some of my key processes with you, so that you can begin to
re-connect with and open your Kind and Loving Heart to yourself.  

Using Teaching, Dialogue, Meditation and Music
* Explore WHY it’s been so hard to be kind and accepting with yourself
* Connect to your own heart and truly feel the compassion
and love for yourself
* Learn simple practices for how to begin to bring compassion,
kindness and acceptance to yourself

When: Thursday, July 13, 7-9 pm
Where:  Sanctuary Imports 822 Lamar Ave, Charlotte
Cost: $33.
Our Space is limited. Please email Miri to register
