My Friend Wayne

I am sure you may, or maybe not heard, that just a few weeks ago, I had the honour of seeing one of my long time mentors and (friends) Dr Wayne Dyer. I have followed Wayne's work for over 20 years now and this was the first time I had got to see him and meet him in person.
It was amazing... I am so grateful for this opportunity and I wanted to share some of the wisdom that was gifted us over that weekend.

Wayne was sitting comfy in a black lounge chair, surrounded by books, notes and his props so to speak. The day had begun and I was so aware, so present in the moment that the rest of the world, the rest of the room just dropped away. It felt to me like he was having a conversation just with me, but this time it was not via my phone and you tube. Here we were, my friend Wayne and I, sitting down and having a chat.

He started with his usual banter and humour and within the first half hour he had talked about sex, penis', periods and said the word F#@K. I knew I liked him for a reason. This man has talked with the likes of Deepak Chopra, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jackson and now me, in amongst it all he is still real, grounded and above all honest. A man with integrity, I love that.

We quickly moved into getting into a sense of awe and taking look at what a tiny speck we really are in the universe. It really put things into perspective and Wayne reminded me that "everything I think is a problem is not, it is just a thought." This got me thinking about the small minded things I worry about sometimes. I would be willing to change that.

He introduced me to 2 of his 8 children, daughter Skye, who sang beautifully the song "I Am Light" originally preformed by India Arie, and then to his youngest daughter Sage. Wayne spoke of her conception here in Brisbane and did his best to embarrass her, and she spoke of her bumps she had as a child and how, with the support of her loving parents she spoke to the bumps and got them to leave. It was great to meet his family.

Our day progressed beautifully, I got a hug, a photo and lots more conversation which included such amazing stories and information like...
"I am doing nothing - I am being done"
"If you don't have a temple in your heart, you will never find your heart in a temple."
"Soul is Light."
"Never place anything into your consciousness that you don't want to manifest."
"God's one and only voice is silence."

He also introduced me to Anita Moorjani. What an inspirational and real woman she is. Her story is beautiful and almost overwhelming. She is the author of the book "Dying To Be Me" which is her journey from cancer, to near death, to true healing. Her message was profound.

Day one came to and end and by day two my excitement was even greater, there was much to learn.

We talked about creation and how creation is impossible as all things have always been. We simply choose things so why not pick the ones that align us with our source. He spoke of God and how there is no place God isn't, how sorcerers are people who live of source and how I AM is the name of God. He spoke of the goal of the soul, to be free to expand and experience the infinite and the theme song of the soul is "Don't fence me in..." He spoke of family, marriage, children and dying. We heard from Anita again and she said "Love yourself like your life depends on it, because it does."

As the weekend ended and my time with Wayne was over, I was left with the thought "What are you marinating in?" What was I soaking myself in, thinking about and being in my life that was creating the life I have?

It has taken me 2 weeks to write this, because it has taken me 2 weeks to begin to process all that was gifted to me in those 2 days. There is so much more to share, to know and to learn. The one thing I know for sure, and I will share it in Wayne's words...

YOU MUST BE WHAT YOU CAN BE!

And so must I.

 

If you want to know more about this, experience some of the gifts I received, share in some meditation around these ideas and more, please join us

Do only dead fish go with the flow?

Some of you may have heard my rant about this at some point over the last few years. Yep, I think it is time for one final rant. Then I'll stop, maybe.
It all began as I innocently scrolled through my Facebook feed one morning. You know how there are some things you tent to just skip past and other just jump off the screen at you? Well this morning, the post below did just that.

It came from a Brisbane woman I heard speak and found quite inspirational, although I did feel her go, go, go energy and go' get 'em attitude a little bit daunting. Hmmm, this was why.

ONLY DEAD FISH GO WITH THE FLOW! 

Yep it pushed all my buttons. For me, this post said that those who go with the flow are lazy, are waiting for the world to hand them something and are not motivated. This is so not what being in the flow is all about.
When you are in the flow of life, you are connected to life itself. There is an infinite intelligence to all life. There is nothing we have to do to make grass grow, to make the river flow or to make the sun come up in the morning. In fact, if you try and make these things happen, people think you're nuts. Just imagine sitting outside your home, in the wee hours of the morning saying "come on sun, you can do it, come up an hour earlier today? Please!" Yep, it is not going to happen. The world around us unfolds as you should. You do nothing for this to happen, but does that mean you are lazy? NO!
In fact, when you understand the flow, when you align with the flow, it all works to your advantage.

Byron Katie says," The only struggle we ever have, is the struggle against what is." When you want things to be different than what they are and you fight to change them, you find yourself not getting too far and stressed to the max. For example, if it is raining outside, and you don't want it to be raining, you can try and stop the rain. Good luck with that. You can yell at it, ask it nicely, and do all sorts of positive affirmations around it, but the rain will stop, when the infinite intelligence decides it will stop. All your doing will not make it so.
However, if you notice it is raining, you may still have a preference for it not to be, but you can grab your umbrella and move forward into your day, a little soggy maybe, but still in action and still moving without the force, struggle and energy going to a cause that really is not going to serve. And besides, you will get a free Aura cleanse.

Being in the flow is not lazy or unmotivated. It is being focused on the larger picture, knowing you are put here on this planet at this time for a purpose and being in alignment with that purpose. It can be hard work, it can require discipline and it can require great courage. It is not a cope out, but an opening to your truth.

So what is this infinite intelligence?
It is that energy that grew you for the first 9 months in your mothers womb, it is the same energy that grows your hair and mine, it is the flow of the universe.

You do not have to push for it to happen, you do not have to try and make it stop.

Infinite intelligence is the expansive energy from which we all came and we will all return. Some call it God, some Buddha or Krishna, some universal truth, the Great Spirit or Source. Whatever you call it, it is. Science may be able to tell us where the command centre in our brain is that moves our little finger, but science has yet been able to find the commander. That is infinite intelligence.

Here are a couple of ways to get in the flow of your life...

• Stop struggling against what is. My favourite way to do this is ask, "What if this is all okay?" It is a very simple question, but in asking it and allowing, we are able to move forward with a much gentler and easier energy. And moving forward allows you to find your flow.
• Drop the idea of how it has to be. We often get so caught up in what something is supposed to be like. Who said? How it is, is how it is. The sun will come up, when it comes up and all unfolds as it is supposed to. Drop the need to be CEO of the universe and have it all happen in your time, in your way and how you think it should. All is okay!
• Meditate! In all honesty, this tool is so much more powerful than most people will ever know. Spending even 5 minutes in stillness at the beginning and ending of your day is profound. All secrets are in the stillness and when you place yourself in this stillness, you place yourself in the flow of life itself. You align yourself with infinite intelligence and life unfolds for you.

I know for me,  when I am in the flow, all good comes to me, life is fun and easy, I take gentle care of myself, I am nicer to live with, I am in my abundance and I am joyful.

Have you ever watched Finding Nemo? Marlin finds himself in the EAC dude, and when he stops struggling and allows himself to go with the current, he lands exactly where he needs to be.

And, only Salmon swim up stream, and we are not all meant to be salmon.

So call me a dead fish if you will, I am staying in the flow. This little angel fish was never meant to be a salmon anyway.

If you have any comments, questions or inquiries, I would love to hear them.
Please feel free to share this with anyone you know who is struggling with life itself.

Be Blessed
