Resonating With Your Higher Self

Resonance " the response of a body to vibrations of it's own natural frequency".
Ever since I came across the phenomenon of resonance it has intrigued and inspired me.
There are many books written an all sorts of resonance but here I am only looking at how we can use resonance to 'enlighten ' ourselves. To solve our problems and generally have the life we truly deserve.
When vibrations are in harmony or resonating together they begin to amplify.
We can use this knowledge to help ourselves to 'amplify ' our vibrations.
The cells of our  bodies vibrate in response to the thoughts and emotions we are feeling .   By learning to focus our attention and pick the thoughts and feelings we choose to experience we can directly affect the way our bodies vibrate.
 And , YES YOU can choose your thoughts and your feelings.
 If you have been reading my posts or coming along to my classes you will be well used to relaxing your mind and body or in other words choosing your feelings.
 When you choose to relax you allow your body to vibrate at a higher frequency than when you do not relax and hold on to your tension.
 How do you know that you have raised your vibration,  EASY you feel much better and this good feeling lets you know that you have raised your vibrations.
Cool Isn't It ?
Each tine  you choose to focus on higher vibrations you connect to your 'Higher Self'. You begin to resonate with that higher aspect which is more closely connected to your wisdom , your truth , your love. Being more tuned to your higher nature you naturally recognise better appropriate actions to take , You are drawn to people and places that help you. solutions begin to 'appear' all by themselves.
This is how life is meant to be, it is not meant to be an up hill struggle , it is meant to be a down hill flow.
So begin to tune in to your thoughts and feelings. Choose ones that awaken positive vibrations and watch as your life becomes more harmonious ,your body feels great and your life becomes more and more FUN.
If you want to PRACTICE this ART of learning to LET GO of your limiting beliefs and Tune in to your Positive Emotions join us at the next Workshop which is happening on Saturday 21th of March in Blackrock Community Centre Cork. You can email me at taichmcilraith@yahoo.co.uk for more details or to reserve a place.

 We will have a fabulous day connecting with higher and higher aspects of ourselves and leave the wotkshop inspired and energised to live our best life.

Finding Solutions

                                                  Pupa developing into a Butterfly

“We can not solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them."-Albert Einstein

And I would add not at the same level of emotion. solutions are always at a higher level to the problem. 

In order to become a butterfly the caterpillar must be broken down completely, then there is a period of quiet secluded work until the butterfly has fully developed inside the cocoon and is ready to take off into a completely new life. 

When we find ourselves with a problem this is the time to  remind ourselves to withdraw our attention from the outer world, to become still inside ourselves , to acknowledge our confusion and Let Go of trying to Figure Anything Out.

 We need to STOP AND REST when we have rested begin to Imagine How We Would FEEL If We Had A Solution. 

We need to  Feel the EASE in our body that a Solution would bring , feel the HAPPINESS all the cells of our body would experience and really feel those sensations right now. 

Acknowledge right now that the Solution exists and that by feeling these warm happy emotions we are Resonating with higher level where the Solution awaits. 

Then we just go about our day noticing all the aspects of our life that are working beautifully and relishing those aspects. Finding joy in every way possible and resonating with our higher consciousness. Sending LOVE to ourselves and everyone and every thing we encounter through out our day, knowing that as we Resonate with Love,  Love will direct us to Solutions even  beyond our Imagination.

 

 

 

 

 

Telomeres and Well Being

The stress and strife of daily life have a direct effect on our health. Most dramatically, our very chromosomes are affected by stress. Telomeres are the end tips of our chromosomes, little caps that protect our DNA( the pink tips in the image above ).
Telomeres play an important role in cell division, and get a bit shorter every time a cell divides. In studies, subjects with inherently stressful lives -- notably mothers of special-needs children and spouses of dementia sufferers -- showed extraordinary wear and tear on their telomeres. The stress-induced disruption to their cells' life cycle actually caused them to age faster. But an enzyme called telomerase maintains and repairs the telomeres, prolonging the life of our cells. Increasing telomerase is a way to slow telomeres' unraveling. And guess how we can we do that? Meditation.

The effect appears to be attributable to psychological changes that increase a person's ability to cope with stress and maintain feelings of well-being.
"We have found that meditation promotes positive psychological changes, and that meditators showing the greatest improvement on various psychological measures had the highest levels of telomerase,"
said Clifford Saron, associate research scientist at the UC Davis Center for Mind and Brain

To me the most interesting information here is that what seems to matter most is one's ability to cope with stress and maintain feelings of well being. 
Whether through Meditation , T'ai Chi,  Releasing,  Open Focus or as in my case a combination of these Arts. What is important is to find what works for you , what keeps your spirits positive and loving so your sense of well being is enhanced and your life can unfold in the most positive way for you. when this happens you contribute in the best possible way to the whole of humanity.

Cangratulate Youeself

It is really important ( in my opinion ) to become conscious in this lifetime.What a privileged it is to be born in a time when so much 'hidden' knowledge is now readily available to anyone who wants to develop their consciousness.
I am congratulating myself for being so lucky to be alive right now and you should too.
We have so many opportunities open to us. Teachers are sharing methods for awakening and so many people are working on higher levels of thought and consciousness that it is easy to find like minded people.
Think how amazingly lucky we are to have all this available to us.
Sit back for a minute and reflect on how fabulous it is that we can connect through this medium.
We are obviously connected because otherwise you wouldn't have opened my page. So I feel very lucky that you have chosen to read this, I also feel very glad to connect with you because you too are working on your consciousness. You and I are on the fascinating road of self discovery. We have come to realise that this life time is a gift a prise if you will and we are about to make the best use of it.
Each time we choose to look deeper into our nature, each time we stop to really feel into this moment, each time we open to our heart and really listen to it's guidance we are enriching our own life and because everything in this universe is interconnected we are simultaneously enriching our universe.
So Congratulate yourself, bask for a moment in your wonderful nature soak up how amazing and wonderful you are, let that feeling spread all through out your body and Know that in that basking you are nourishing those emotions for our whole universe.

Now isn't that worth Celebrating .

 With my deepest Love , Ann
