As I’ve written before, your destiny is in your hands, and if you don’t like where you’re headed, you CAN change it.

The biggest factor in changing your destiny is educating yourself – either in skills, attitude, meditation, and so on.

Now, when you embark on a journey to bring your dream into reality, there will be enough resistances and obstacles to overcome, as you pull yourself out of the gravity of habit and expectations from family and friends.  Your faith in yourself is essential at this time, because doubt and fear often become self-fulfilling prophecies.

The birthing of your dream into reality may take you into some interesting landscapes that are almost guaranteed to move you beyond your comfort zone.  That’s a given.   So don’t give yourself an additional handicap by doing or going for a tarot reading or other clairvoyant session.

Having said that, if you do seek spiritual advice for your journey, I have found the Medicine Woman cards to be brilliant.  Rather than focusing on events, they tend to focus on personal and inter-personal dynamics , rather than on the drama of everyday life.  They can be very nicely used as a focal point for your personal introspective contemplations.  Angel cards would also serve this purpose.

So the difference is looking from the perspective of your higher journey, rather than your earthly dramas, which can sound daunting and discouraging.  Look at the following example as a case in point:

What if you came to me for a reading, and I saw that you were going to be involved in a plane crash.  But that you were going to survive, and actually be instrumental in saving the lives of almost everyone else.  That this would be a lesson for you to learn how heroic you can be, and how you can overcome all limitations with your sheer strength of will.

Now, do you REALLY think you’re going to hear any of my reading after I’ve said the words “Plane Crash”?

You’re probably going to be so sick with fear, and not be willing to go anywhere for a long time.  Your ego is hardly likely to be happy that you’re going to emerge a much more potent person at the end of this episode.

No.  Trust me when I say to trust your own higher wisdom.  It knows what it’s doing.  It knows what it wants to achieve in this life time.  Don’t try to second-guess it by going for a reading.  Chances are that you’ll get in your own way.

Now, don’t be afraid of science.  Brian Green actually is very entertaining.  I’ll be building on this, why these extra dimensions are important to be aware of, later on.

Is the ONE thing you don’t want to change, going to be the ONE thing that will help you break through to your next level?

Think about this.  Think good and hard.

Now, read this through fully, then come back to the beginning and do the steps.  Take your time, don’t rush through this.

Find a safe, quiet place, box of tissues close by, notebook maybe, or even infront of your computer, writing stream of consciousness, writing as the ideas as they flow from your mind.

First, explore your issue, probably to the point of tears.  Chances are it will come from feelings of lack of self worth.  Indulge yourself here, don’t be afraid of the pain.

Remember that it is the knife of pain that carves out the cup of joy.

Now that you feel exhausted and cleansed, make a list of positive change statements.  Include these new positive statements in your mind movie or visionboard.  Find images to match.

My one big thing used to be, believe it or not, being shy.  I had trouble asking for help in the form of favours.  I was reluctant to take the initiative in making contact with people, incase they felt I was intruding.  I felt them rolling their eyes when I make contact with them, muttering “good grief” under their breath.  I didn’t feel like I was in their league, and that I was being parasitic of their time and knowledge

I certainly felt lesser to them.  Which meant that my self esteem wasn’t as robust as I’d imagined it to be.

So I felt a lot of self-imposed pressure to try and figure things out on my own.

While that has been helpful in building my self-reliance, I now HAVE enough of  that, so I can move beyond it.  I don’t want to be stuck there.

So I now tell myself that it is now safe to connect with others, who will delight in my originality and energy and motivation.

Your turn.
