I see what’s happening around the world as Windows of Opportunity. Some Windows of Opportunity are subtle and tiny, while others are glaringly obvious. What’s happening in the world definitely seem like the latter. We have a chance to shift the way we respond. To stop fighting against what’s not working, and instead learn how to invent new things that do.

If you’re on a mission to create change in your life or in the world, but you’re not seeing results, it might be time to do your Inner Work.

Often when we run into roadblocks, we blame the world. You may tell yourself, “They’re not ready for what I have to offer.” Or, “I don’t have the resources I need to make this happen.”

And those thoughts may be partly true. But it’s also likely that you have some barriers within yourself that are tied to unhealed trauma.

In this blog, you’ll read the stories of 4 women (names have been changed to protect their identity) that illustrate how unhealed trauma can show up. And then you’ll learn about a coaching modality that can help you move forward if you engage in these behaviors.

During the process of creating change in your life or in the world, it’s easy to feel stuck.

Maybe you’ve tried to motivate yourself but it didn’t work.

I remember when I was in college and taking a fitness course, I tried to motivate myself to lift weights by promising myself a new bicycle. But that didn’t work. Once the class was over, I went back to my old routine.

What DID work, was figuring out how to tap into the flow.

Your thoughts and beliefs are like lenses that color the way you see the world. But sometimes you don’t realize you’re still wearing those glasses. And that can hold you back from living with joy and making the kind of difference you’re meant to in the world.

Love, connection, peace, rest, joy.

These are a few of the responses I got when I asked: Other than money, what do you need most during the holidays?

The one word that wasn’t mentioned, and which I think is crucial is “hope.” Hope is the thread that ties together all of the other things that we want and need most during the holidays, because no matter what you wish for or need, there is also the hope that it will manifest.

If you could create a miracle, what would you create? We’re conditioned to believe that only the chosen few have this ability. But what could happen if we looked beyond that fairy tale?

One thing that some of my clients who are actively working to ascend have noticed is that they are experiencing flare ups of physical and/or emotional issues that they thought were resolved. This doesn’t mean that you’re on the wrong path. It may be a message from the Universe that if you re-visit past trauma, it will help you ascend.

Do you buy into the belief that the only way to get what you want is by working hard? If you’re feeling tired or burned out, it may be time to try something different.

Of course, you’ll have to put in effort in order to accomplish your goals. But the hard path is not always the only path to get there. Two of my favorite metaphysical teachers recently shared information about achieving your goals with more ease.
