Lessons from the October Challenge

I want to give you a bit of an update on what I have been doing. I started a “challenge” so that I can motivate myself and encourage others at the same time. It's been a lot of fun doing healing sessions for the group and I have made huge progress in my mom's room. Leading others is a great way for me to push myself to do what I need to do.

What have I learned in the last few weeks as I have been doing this?

I discovered that I need to stop referring to the room as my mom's room or grandma's room. She no longer lives in that room. I found a new name for that room that inspires me to get in there. My kids know what I am talking about when I call it the Meadow. Its full name is Michele's Magical Meadow.

I realized I need to stop calling the stuff my mom's stuff. It isn't hers anymore. She left it behind. It's kind of my inheritance. Now, I really didn't want to inherit a bunch of garbage to sort through hoping to find the occasional treasure. At the same time, when I claim it as mine, it makes it easier for me to toss things, donate things, etc like I have trained myself to take care of my own stuff.

Another thing is, although she left all that stuff, I don't actually have to go through it. I could send it to my brother. I could give it to my kids and tell them to go through it. I could toss it all, forget any possible treasure. Realizing this actually makes it easier for me to go through it because now it is a choice. I am excited to find the treasures within the garbage.

I have also discovered that when I get stuck, I can treat myself like a client. This happened today. I went in to clean in the Meadow. I got to a point where my next step is to clean off the bed. The bed wasn't a mess when my mom passed. It's stuff I've piled on as I have gone through other things. Mostly things I haven't known what to do with. Basically, I created a big "box" of stuff for me to go through, only it isn't a box.

I froze. I couldn't really do anything.

I decided to ask myself, “What would I tell my client in this situation?” Wow, that was fascinating. I would ask her to look at what area of her life that pile represented. I discovered it was the overwhelming grief I have been experiencing. I then asked, “How much of that is yours?” My answer was none. I became aware that it was grief my mom left behind, the grief she felt as she knew she was leaving me a mess, grief from the dog, the kids, etc. Some could have even been inherited. I was a bit surprised, but not really. I have been feeling and healing as much as I could when it comes up. I was frustrated it wasn't going away. I finally asked for it to be cleared.

I haven't been able to go back into the room because of timing priorities but I have had ideas about how to deal with the mess. I wasn't getting those ideas before so if nothing else, I was able to get past a stuck place.

Another interesting thing to note about this challenge. I have been having the most awesome experiences after each session. The one on Wednesday was about careers. I'm writing this on Thursday and I had some really awesome things show up in my awareness that I could use for my career. I don't know if I am taking it but it's so cool that it showed up the day after I did the healing! If nothing else, it might open me to some more clarity as I move forward.

The whole thing has been really exciting and I am only halfway through the month! Who knows what else this month will bring!

Big hugs my friends,

Buried Feelings About God

This blog has been so hard to write. I just haven't known what to say.

It's been a crazy time for me. I knew surgery would be interesting, I didn't expect it to wipe me out the way it did. It wasn't just that there was more pain, it was that I was downright exhausted too.

This month, our roof started leaking. I personally, associate the roof with God, higher self, or other crown chakra energy. Of course, being me, I had to look at what was going on.

Water leaks often can be associated with grief or tears. Did I have a lot of grief with God? I didn't really know. I was trying to address it, did energy work on the home and self. It seemed to get cleared and yet, it leaked again.

Then I did a technique from Rachel Archelaus. She teaches Intuitive Art, which is another way to find out what is going on when you just can't find the answers looking straight on.

I was doing this process for issues with reading my scriptures. Why wasn't I reading? My results were interesting. There was some anger, some disconnect, and way over on the side, there was a big ball of sadness. There is that sadness idea again.

I took to healing. Why was I angry? Why was I sad? I have been dealing with a lot of layers but I want to tell you about one.

I was promised in three different blessings that I would heal quickly. A week ago, as of writing this, I was told that in a week I would be able to be off of the crutches, still using the brace. Well, here I am, not only am I still on the crutches, but a spider scare caused me to jerk my knee into a place of great pain so I couldn't put any weight on my leg for a while.

I lost it. I cried about broken promises and feeling betrayed. Promises of a sweetheart. Promises of healing, and it's not going so fast. Promises of a “beautiful home with the necessities of life”. I have so many promises given to me in priesthood blessings that aren't coming true that I feel anger and betrayal. This is showing up in this intuitive art, in my home leak, and in this overall depression I have had in the last little while.

It's hard to admit that I have been angry and felt hurt and betrayed by God. No wonder I haven't wanted to read scriptures and I have not had much desire to return to church when I do get better. I love the scriptures and I love church and I believe it to be true but there are all these hurt feelings.

With awareness comes healing. Now I know where to heal the deepest hurts. I know what I am really feeling so I can really deal with it.

Do you have similar things going on in your life? Feelings you just can't figure out. Maybe you have signs coming at you in your body, your home, or even through different intuitive methods. Are you giving yourself permission to receive the messages and go deep into healing? I sure hope so. If you need help, I'm super happy to help you come to a place of peace.

With love from my heart to yours,

Motivation, Do You Have It?

I have kind of become obsessed with something I just learned. I have shared it on YouTube, on my FB page, with friends, and in multiple comments in various places. It has been this weird key for me that I wouldn't have expected, so I am sharing wherever I can, including here.

You know how so many different personality profiling things put you into groups of four? I recently did one I hadn't done before. For the most part, it was similar information but there were some differences. It was more about how they are in business and more importantly what their key motivator is.

There is one group that Merilyn calls the VisionMaker. They are the people that set goals and visions and that's enough to motivate them. They have the drive to go after what they want.

In consideration of homes, I don't know if they would even come to a blog like mine. They would set a goal, create a vision of what they want their home to look like and go after it. I guess if they were wounded and needed help remembering who they are, they could end up here.

I'm guessing in terms of manifesting, they would take to vision boards and other forms of vision creation like a fish to water. There are so many manifesting tools that are designed to help one create a vision. If you were motivated by vision, then it makes sense that once you knew what you wanted your life to be, you'd go after it. These would also be the people that emphasize inspired action. They may or may not even think of it as manifesting.

The next group is the PassionMaker. They are the people that get really excited about what they are doing and that excitement is enough to keep them going. That passion is what motivates them.

In homes, they very easily could end up here. Easily distracted and not wanting to do things if they aren't fun or they haven't found a passion for keeping their homes in good order. Yeah, I could totally see that they would be drawn to another way to approach the house, always seeking a passion for it. They may not know that's what they are seeking. If they can find their passion, their home would get and stay in order.

In manifesting, it makes sense that they would love experiential manifesting techniques. The ones where you bring in as many senses while they create. Anything and everything to get them excited about what they want to manifest. These would be the people that do amazing at manifesting when they tune into how their dreams make them feel. If they can stir up the passion, then they will go for their manifesting dreams. I can think of a number of manifesting teachers that use this style and they are doing amazing things in their lives.

The next group is called the HeartMaker. They are motivated by meaning and purpose. If they can find a meaning in what they are doing, they'll keep going.

Many of these types are naturally organized, often OCD in their perfectionism. They wouldn't usually be drawn to my work because of the organizing ideas I may or may not present. They would be drawn to the meaning I could help them find, or tips for helping them find or unlock their purpose. For a long time, I thought this was the way to be, always seeking meaning and purpose for life. Looking back, I know I wasn't motivated by it, I was just doing what I thought was the way to success.

In manifesting, they are people that need to really get their why behind their manifesting. It's not enough for them to get a dream. It's not enough for them to get excited. They are the ones that have to see a greater purpose in their manifesting.

Before I tell you about the fourth type, let me say that there is nothing wrong with any of the four types. All types of people need to get a vision, find some passion, and create meaning. We all need all four motivators in our lives. The difference is, a VisionMaker with passion and no vision won't get far. A PassionMaker can have meaning and vision but without that passion, they'll be easily distracted.

I have stopped before mentioning the fourth type because I wanted to talk a bit about how almost all, if not all of the manifesting tools I have ever learned and all of the organizing and decluttering information seems to approach the situation from one of these three ways. I have rarely heard of the fourth being mentioned. Maybe a little in homes, but I seriously can't think of one manifesting tool that really addresses or asks questions that would help the fourth motivation type. I know because this is my type.

I am a PeaceMaker. I'm motivated by peace and ease. I want things to be as easy as possible. I also am always trying to find ways to have peace. Sometimes parenting is really hard because I have 6 kids and they are not all motivated by this peace thing, in fact, I'm not sure any of them are.

A PeaceMaker could definitely end up on a blog like this. Sure they'll want their home clean but they may not realize what they really want is the peace and ease that comes with a clean and organized home. They'll be interested in the home healing because of the peaceful energy that it could bring to the home. They'll hope that having a clean home would help their families to be more peaceful. They might think, “If we have less stuff, the kids will get along better.”

In manifesting, well I'm experimenting with that one. I know that when I asked myself a powerful question it changed my life. “How can I bring more peace to the world?” For the first time in my life, I was motivated to really, and I mean really, get clear about my message. I was motivated to act on the information I was learning and not stay in that procrastination phase of research. The idea that something I say or do could bring peace to someone's life and/or create ease for them is so powerful. So far, every time I have asked myself the question, even writing about it here, I get tears in my eyes. It makes my soul so happy. The results have been this constant little voice in my head, what can we do next to create peace? Is there a video to make? A blog to write? A FB post? What can we do to spread peace? The sessions I was putting off got done really fast because I might, just might be able to give my clients a little peace.

I'm thinking if that question was able to get me to a place where I was moving forward in a new way in my business, what could it do for manifesting in general? What if I asked questions that got me to see the ease and peace that would come from my manifesting? When I asked myself about my book, the thought came, “Well, I would definitely have more peace without that book nagging me.” After that, I actually started working on my book, something I've been saying I would do for a long time. If I could add an element of ease, I'm sure I would finish writing.

I am experimenting with questions designed to get me in touch with peace and ease. I am experimenting in how I can bring peace into my pocketbook. How I can have peace in my relationships. Not just desiring it, I've always desired it, but now actively asking specifically about ease and peace, knowing that's what motivates me.

Did you know that I have a mantra that always seems to center me with myself? I have had it for a while and now it's kind of ironic.

I am the empress of peace, daughter of deity, heir to the throne of the most high.

Enough about me, what about you? Did you see a possible motivation for you? Maybe you can see some of your loved ones might have a different motivation than you. If you want to really learn more about the four types, you can go to https://www.merilyn.com/WowArchetypeQuiz. It's not an affiliate. It's just something I want to share because it has been so profound in my life. At the time of writing this, after you take the quiz, you'll get offered a free class to learn about all of the types. It's so worth it.

Peace in the Consequences

As I energetically brought my home to mind for healing, I saw or rather didn't see the foundation. Where the foundation was meant to be was an empty space. Is it any wonder that I ended up in a pile on the floor of my job? No foundation to stand on in my home. That's just a representative of what is going on inside of me.

As I was healing my Soul, I spoke with a part of me that was angry and hurt. She'd “kicked the leg out from under me.” She had much regret because she didn't know that the consequence would be so great. A hurt and frustrated part of me just wanted attention and to be heard. This created a severe sprain that may even need surgery.

As I was doing these healings, I became aware of a reality that in some ways I wish wasn't. At the same time, I am at peace with it. Our energy creates circumstances and we can heal that energy but most of the time, the consequence has to finish out. Although miracles can happen, there are some areas that either won't have or likely won't have miracles.

If I have a torn ligament or two, the chance of them reattaching themselves is pretty slim. Maybe with the right tools and beliefs, it could happen. Maybe there is a reason beyond my current understanding of why that won't happen. I only know that I had a peaceful awareness that I would have consequences and it could include surgery.

I am reminded of a woman who fell off a cliff. She will be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. There isn't much she can do about it. Healing the cause of her fall won't cure her. A criminal who changes his ways, a true conversion from crime will still have consequences to account for in his life. Does that mean the healing shouldn't be done? Does it mean the criminal shouldn't change his ways?

What if my healing now prevents complications? What if my healing now causes my knee to heal very fast? What if my healing now prevents a repeat injury or other future pains that are common after such an injury? The woman in the wheelchair could find a renewed energy for life, or even prevent future organ damage as a result of healing. The man sitting in jail who has had a reform could get a lesser punishment and even prevent a future punishment that would be far greater. He could even be the means of inspiration for someone else.

I don't believe it is ever too late for healing the soul. The greatest blessings that come from healing the soul are a deep sense of joy and appreciation for life. An opportunity comes to step into the bigness we all have inside of us. For some people, that bigness will come in very small places. A body with limitations can still feel bigger than life. When you feel bigger than life, it doesn't matter what circumstances you are in. You'll find a reason to love where you are. Of course, that will also bring about more opportunity to have circumstances and environment reflect the awesomeness of you.

Even with all of my experience, I was surprised at the missing foundation. I knew that I had been feeling ungrounded and like I was unsupported in life. I hadn't thought to look at what my home was reflecting back to me. I know that sounds silly coming from me. Sometimes we forget to use our own tools.

I feel more supported than ever in my life. For the first time in my life, I can sense angels around me longing to serve me in whatever way. There is peace and connectedness I hadn't had before. I know things are on the right track for me. Won't it be fun to see where this leads?

I would love to support you in your healing journey. I have created a page that lists my Soul and Home healing services. If you feel drawn to check it out, then please do so. If you have questions or comments, feel free to ask them below or send me a message.
