Cat Love



I was recently asking George about why cats are so adored.

Mentioning how much I adore him, I asked George why have cats, in particular, been so adored throughout history, to the point of worship?

George explained it’s because through them we recognise the strengths, the independence, the self-love inherent in us, without the self-consciousness; without thinking we are forming a God-complex about ourselves, without that ego attachment.

We are recognising, in them, what is within ourselves but can justify it as OK by making it about someone else. We’re not being self-conscious about it.

For various reasons, the ego is not happy to admit we can self-love, that we can adore ourselves.

We often have to make it about somebody else to make it OK.

When we do begin our journey with self-love, and reconnect with that, we can also reconnect with mixed and over-whelming emotions that are triggered by belief patterns associated with loving ourselves.

Many of us are taught, from a very young age, how putting ourselves first is selfish. We are programmed to think of others, and look after others, before ourselves.

The programmed belief patterns surrounding self-love can be so deep, the emotions so painful when they surface, that it is easier to continue as is and chose to ignore the damage we are doing to ourselves. We then continue to limit our growth and box ourselves. We enable these belief patterns to continue, develop and root themselves deeper within us and future generations.

I often find myself reminding clients and students, and therefore myself, self-love is not selfish. It is vital. The love we connect with and nurture within ourselves, by ourselves, is critical. It’s time to re-programme ourselves to care for ourselves first. Then share that love and care with others. It’s an old cliché but profoundly true: we cannot share from an empty cup. How many of us have kept trying, knowing we are exhausted, until our physical bodies kick in and force us to rest?

Thinking that Humanity has got to that point where we can’t love ourselves openly can seem sad, but we can. It’s just we can also be very conscious about loving ourselves openly, adoring ourselves and feeling so good about ourselves too.

To exist in love, including and especially self-love, without attachment, (attachment to reaction, result, condition or consequence), is incredibly free-ing. It is unconditional and a release from anything that limits us.

It is everything we love and recognise, within ourselves, at that soul level.

Other cats have previously shared, during communications, how they join us to help us find our own independence in love, to release the need to find love from others and help strengthen our own self-love.

George confirmed this during our recent chat, reconfirming that is the love a cat brings: that self-love, that appreciation for self, that confidence. Everything we ought to be doing for ourselves but find it justifiable to recognise it in others.

That’s why we love these guys so much because that it what they exemplify. That’s just what they are.


Hierarchy



A belief pattern many of us juggle with involves creating a smaller, alternative version of self to accommodate others.

We can create a box for ourselves, consciously and/or subconsciously, through multiple self-deprecating actions.

By encouraging our self to think others are more worthy, more deserving or more important than us, we place them above our self thus enabling self-seeding cycle of low self-worth and low self-esteem.

It isn’t only humans we utilise to concrete these belief patterns either.


Any opportunity to discover ‘perfection’ in another, immediately and effectively limits and ‘boxes’ our own expanse of existence.

We subconsciously or consciously create ‘faults’ with our own self and can try to ‘shrink’ ourselves in an attempt to constrict or limit the effect of our perceived faults on others.

When we do this, we hand over our self’s power. We allow our self to be led by others. Not guided, but unquestioningly led. We limit, or even totally release, any self-belief in our own abilities and strengths to become reliable upon another we see as more worthy, more knowledgeable or more important. We contain ourselves within known comfort zones, effectively releasing and handing over responsibility and control of our own lives.

By placing anyone else on a pedestal, whether sky-high or just 5mm up, we diminish and belittle ourselves.

The first, baby step to change is awareness. Become aware of ‘shrinking’ or adapting your self to accommodate others. Realise your worth, your abilities and affect your world accordingly.


Begin, today, to reprogram your belief patterns and stand alongside others.


This message, received during a recent forest stroll, resonated strongly with this awareness and is one I felt to share to enable understanding for others.

“There is no hierarchy in life.
It’s a simple sentence but so profound when we actually contemplate its true depth.
There’s no hierarchy within species, between species, between food groups; the food pyramids.
There’s no food that is top of the pyramid. It’s what each individual is needing at that time.

Within species, no one being in a species is more important or better than the other. 
It’s the same between species. No species is better or more important than another.

We each have our purpose, we each have our role, our job; our own responsibly to be here and work together. 
Maybe the work you do is perceived in society as more important but it’s not. Without it, society may struggle but that is the same for every role, every purpose within humanity.

Consider the ants, the bees; so, so important. Very different roles to us. They each have their own roles but without them this world would not function.
Ecosystems would break down.

We are all even, all as important, all as functional, all in that ‘hierarchy’ on an even keel.
It’s just belief systems and society’s belief systems that create the self-importance and allow us to put others on pedestals so that we can make ourselves feel less worthy, putting us into our own comfort zones.

When we realise we are just as vital, just as important as all those roles society and ourselves see as as ‘most important,’ we realise we are critical, we realise our self-worth.

We can get the jelly legs to put ourselves up there but, hey, jelly sets hard.
Come on guys, let’s find ourselves.

It’s time to step up.
Step outside that ‘safe’ place, that self-created little box of security. A false security designed by the mind, only providing a stop-gap of stagnancy and slow/no-growth.

Declare your presence. Claim you, your space. Create your world, your reality.
You’re here.”



Human Spirit Day Message

“Celebrate the connectedness of your Spiritual and your Human, your physical and your spiritual bodies.
Embrace the knowledge you have of your physical limitations while rediscovering your spiritual infiniteness.

Reconnect with your physical abilities and all the opportunities they bring while rediscovering those spiritual abilities.
Both are as limited and as infinite as you choose them to be.
Both are intricately interwoven, fully interlocked and working as a team for this lifetime.


Without the layer of physical, you would not be human.

You would not exist here, have purpose here as you do now.


An obvious statement but one to really consider and realise.

You formed your energy to create who you are today. You, the magnificent, powerful Being that you are, created your existence, your Human. You brought yourself to life, to Human life, just as you will bring yourself back to Spirit. You are One in varying stages of your journey.
Remind yourself of this magnificence when doubts consume you. When the Human-ness overwhelms you, take a rest to consider all you have already achieved and what you are capable of.

Dive deep into who you are and discover the channels which lock your Human/Spiritual communion in place. Trace those pathways to discover how they connect within you, for you and for all you experience.

These channels deliver you to your emotions, your thoughts, your memories, your illnesses, your concerns, your light, your power and your strength. Any experience you are requiring exists within these channels of energy.

Journeying through these tunnels, these channels, takes you through yourself and the vast world that you are.

See and feel yourself travelling through your network. Note what comes, what is shown and how you feel.

Imagine yourself travelling, with the wonder of a child, seeing and feeling your way through an extensive helter-skelter that twists and turns throughout your internal self, through your physical self and then expanding deeper into all your energy fields.
Follow these channels and observe where they take you, what you see and what you feel.

Do you revisit the same area?
Do you see colours?
Do you hear sounds?
Does someone join you?

Experience it openly and freely.
Anything and everything.

The experience will bring insight for understanding and healing your Human/Spirit union.
Fully rediscover yourself and enjoy your journey through your layers.

This is a powerful self-check maintenance practise which will encourage your awareness of the powerful union between your energetic bodies.

See and feel the channels of your Human and Spirit bodies connect, fuel and support all aspects of you. They are the irrigation system for your energy. Look after them, cleanse them and keep them open to flow freely between your energetic bodies.

Observe as the energy changes its speed of vibration between your physical, human energetic body and your spiritual energetic body.
The denser, slower energy of your human: thoughts, emotions, and body functionality are as vital to observe as the high-speed, enlightening vibration of your spiritual self.
Without one, the other would consume and overwhelm you. Be open to both as equally as each other.

Use this knowledge and ability with wisdom and courage. Empower yourself with it. Empower others with it. Lend them your hand, for rest, support and/or a lever to help themselves along on their journey.

Happy Travels.”
