I have always loved the peaceful, blissful state I'm in when receiving bodywork such as a massage treatment. I used to receive a massage fortnightly from the most lovely therapist in New Zealand (my home), she had a beautiful aura and touch and I really looked forward to that hour of bliss where I could just allow myself to be safe in her hands. That was 4 years ago now and since then my little family and I have uprooted ourselves from New Zealand and moved to Sydney, Australia.
Well today I received my first massage since then from a wonderful, sensitive and in tune therapist based in Rouse Hill, NSW. What was so satisfying about this treatment I received was she immediately tuned in to my needs, and pin pointed exactly where I am emotionally, spiritually and in her words (after sharing with her my journey to date and the search I am on now) she states "I get from you that you are disconnected". It really was what I needed to hear because the journey I am on at the moment is really making me aware of what I want and in what parts of my life I feel that disconnection.
I guess when you embark upon a journey, be it a spiritual journey, or personal development or any journey of personal transformation we could be forgiven for expecting it to be enjoyable and wonderful all of the time without pain, but I am realising now that as I become more open that I am seeing the disconnection that I have allowed to manifest in my life. I confess this is a little painful but I definitely feel relief in this realisation because now I can do something about it.
Massage has always allowed me to connect back to my inner wellness and peace so I look forward to allowing this therapy back into my life.

Letting it Flow
I've had the most relaxing and peaceful day. Last night I listened to an excellent video of Abraham-Hicks, and 4 times more since then, you can watch it HERE.
The teaching on this video is really about letting go of your resistance and beginning to go with the flow. I've always felt I need to 'Make' things happen in my life, when in reality there is nothing for me to 'make' happen, I just need to get into vibration of what I desire and offer that vibration.
When we live in resistance it causes unhappiness, stress, anger, resentment and all the negative emotions we can think of, I have experienced all of these and more the past few weeks, allowing life to pile up and beat me around and in turn the loves of my life end up with the result of that negative emotion. But when we stop paddling our canoe upstream and allow it to turn downstream and go with the flow all of these resistant emotions disappear.
I have to say that in just 1 day I have felt the positive effect of letting go, and this is all without feeling like I've lost any sense of direction, in fact I feel more in tune with my direction than I have in a long time.
Bliss and Blessings,
Carmen

The Universe Answers
Why am I so surprised each time the Universe answers and shows me the solution to my questions at a particular time?. When I am going through something in my life and I find myself searching my own limited consciousness for the answer - then! the Universe hears me and offers to guide and help me through it. I am an expressive person anyway but I find myself just floored when this happens and it's all the time. My awareness is expanding and I'm seeing these signs around me everywhere.
Let me explain:
I would normally put the emotions I'm having down to being hormonal (but am now realising this is more likely to be resistance than the old hormonal excuse). There is a belief that I carry about the relationships I have. To make a long story short, I have lived being consumed with what people think of me. In relation to my husband, I think at a subconscious level it is of great consuming concern what he thinks of me, I seem to yearn for his approval. I know that this comes from my childhood because I was the same with my father, I don't know why because I have wonderful memories of my upbringing, but I think it may relate to the fact that my wonderful mother was always there for myself and my siblings, and I see now she was the connection between us children and our father. He was a very hard worker and business owner so I guess he was at work a lot. I acknowledge now that my low self esteem required approval from those that I love. This is one of many emotions and beliefs that I must release before I can truly love myself for the ME that I am.
So in the midst of having a pity party this morning over this exact belief I received an email note from our friends Abraham-Hicks which reads:
You have to care more about where you're feeling and how you want to feel, than anything else. You have to care more than what your husband thinks. You have to care more than what your mother-in-law thinks. You have to care more than what your neighbors think. You have to care more than what your church thinks or your government thinks. You have to care more than what anything that is outside of you thinks, because by caring about how you feel, you can shift your vibration.
And when you shift your vibration, every relationship shifts. Every single one.

Wow, how much did I need that. I am now aware of the effect this belief has had on my life and the effect it would have had in my future, had I allowed it. I avidly listen to Louise L. Hay's 'You Can Heal Your Life' and series of audios, I'm listening all I can to The teachings of Abraham which really was the trigger for my true awakening to my source energy and the vibration I offer to the Universe.
My journey is wonderful, exciting, blissful and ongoing....life takes a whole new meaning when you follow what your heart is telling you, when you listen to that which is drawing you back to the blissful perfect life that has always been with you and living in a way of just simply knowing, and as Louise L. Hay would say "listening to your inner ding". When my 'inner ding' or intuition says "this is right" - then I know this is right for me, even when I cannot explain it. This is a whole new acceptance and understanding for someone who used to require logic and reason.
Bliss and Blessings,
Carmen

*** Here is my lifepath, and if you know me personally you'll see how spot on this is, even to the point where it identifies the roadblocks I experience in finding my life's path and direction, and the important aspects I must focus on. I have actually printed this on nice paper and laminated for a reference.
Your Life Path is 23/5
The key to your personality is freedom.
Carmen, you love travel, adventure, variety and meeting new people. You possess the curiosity of a cat and long to experience all of life. You love to be involved in several things at the same time as long as you are not tied down to any one area. You like change, new things and new horizons. You make friends easily; your personality is upbeat and often inspiring and attracting people from all walks of life.
You have a way of words and an uncanny ability to motivate others. You can be in sales, advertising, publicity, promotion, politics or any profession that requires your communication skills and understanding of people. You likely lack discipline and order. You can also be impulsive, doing or expressing things you regret later. Freedom and a need for adventure sometimes is not properly controlled by those born with this Life Path, causing problems with drug abuse, overindulgence in food or sex, or generally abusing the gift of life. You are sensual and love to taste all of life. Sex, food and other sensory experiences are essential to the enjoyment of your life. You find it difficult to commit to one relationship, but once committed you can be as faithful as an old dog.
You are multi-talented and possess a variety of diverse abilities. However, discipline and focus are the true keys to your success. Without these many of the tasks you begin will remain unfinished and you will fail to realize the true fruits of your abilities. With hard work and perseverance the sky is the limit. You may have been perceived as a wild child by adults and a source of concern by your family. However, do not be obliged to hurry your choice of career. You are often a late-bloomer and need to experience life before you can truly know and commit to your heart's desire.
Carmen, your challenge is to learn the true meaning of freedom. Change is constant in your world requiring adaptability and courage. Try to maintain an exercise program, keep your body in shape and limber. The flexibility and durability of your body will promote security and confidence within you.
You yearn for freedom and self-employment attracts you powerfully. Your challenge is to settle into one area to cultivate your ability sufficiently to earn a living and attain success. Once you find your niche the motivation and inspiration you supply others will bring you much in return, you will find your friends and colleagues supporting and promoting you on the road to success.
