Anxiety – A contagious dis-ease for which we have the antidote!

If you listen around you, and particularly within yourself, you will realise that anxiety has become a highly contagious dis-ease. We have become a characteristically anxious society.

The dictionary defines anxiety as a mental state in which a person has a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease about something with an uncertain outcome. When we are not in control but we like to be in control because that brings us the perception of safety, we feel uneasy. It seems that this human condition of wanting to be in control ("Controlitis”, lol) is the mother of anxiety. Controlitis, in turn, is the child Fear, which originated in the uncertainty of not having clarity about how things will turn out in the future, are we going to be able to cope, avoiding the possibility of feeling helplessness...

Does this sound familiar to you?

This powerful triad of Fear, (need to be in) Control and Anxiety generates a pressing need to manipulate events in life, and we become obsessed with wanting to know when, where, with whom or how a certain outcome will occur. However, life presents us with challenges in which, despite our resistance towards and our hardest attempts to control the circumstances, uncertainty consumes us, and the resulting anxiety amplifies the insecurities with which we have been programmed from childhood.

What kind of fear I hear you ask... Well, here are a few examples:

• The fear of not being enough;

• The fear of being rejected by family, friends or work collaborators;

• The anguish due to not having the necessary skills to face challenges;

• The fear of not being as good as the next person;

• The fear of pain... in all of its possible shapes and forms...

My grandmother used to live in an anxious state. I picked it up from her. I used to be anxious all the time, even after the 'event' had long finished.

But then I challenged myself with a question: Why was your grandmother anxious all the time?

And the answer surprised me (well it was also so true, so not surprising really...)

That is how she showed she cared. Anxiety was her way to say that things mattered to her. She got 'addicted' to feeling anxious and that addiction lead her to creating a constant circle of difficulties to feel anxious about! It was so powerful, it 'infected' me. The constant transmitting of messages associated with anxiety and fear on a daily basis can be very contagious.

For years, that was my reality, until I found an antidote.

An easy, simple and effective way to recognize that this addiction to anxiety was based on limiting programs I had at the the subconscious level of my mind which generated the need to control everything driven by fear of being not enough.

The antidote is a process called PSYCH-K® with which we can reprogram the system and understand that it is possible to experience life with more peace, with more joy and serenity.

With PSYCH-K®, we easily, quickly and effectively access the subconscious mind to give it new information, and in addition, we find guidance in the Principles of the ancient wisdom of Mother Nature, to support us in aligning our lives.

For example, how do you think your life would change if you could:

• Change your perception of uncertainty and chaos and see them as a bridge to harmony. (Principle of Nature: Harmony)

• Accept that doing more is not always better and that from stillness and inner peace, we have access to all the resources, gifts and talents that already exist in us and achieve results in a simpler and more effective way. (Principle of Nature: More is not always better)

• Understand that challenges are precious messengers that allow us to shed light in areas of ourselves that were in darkness; When we see them, we find qualities that strengthen us and make us more creative (Principle of Nature: Resiliency)

• Release the need to control the expectations we have about the results of life events to look at them with curiosity and in a more balanced way (Principle of Nature: Balance)

PSYCH-K® is a precious spiritual process that comes to you when you are ready to transform the learned limiting ideas that maintain the addiction to anxiety, and begin to create a more aligned life in which you discover your greatness, remember your divine essence and be the peace you seek.

If it is your time now to become a more authentic version of yourself, get in touch and I can help you change what you choose to change about your patterns of limitation.

Having Self Worth issues? - You have the solution within you

School, parents, society, everyone forces upon us an 'interpretation' of what our self-worth and self-image should be. How we see ourselves and how much we value ourselves is being heavily dictated by our environment. In our current state of society there is a constant and powerful bombarding of conditioning and solidifying (propaganda-type) of what our perception of ourselves should be: advertising, media, news, shop windows, government rules and regulations, how other people look, speak and behave.

Pause for a moment to reflect on the amount of precious time and energy we spend entertaining the need to meet the criteria that others have imposed... And we do this blindly, lead by the subconscious fear of being judged and shamed etc. This fear of being judged (of which we are not even aware most of the time) makes us go through life looking to satisfy the cultural criteria about how we should look or behave, and there seems to always be a need for something else, nothing is ever good enough, and consequently we are never really happy.

Let´s consider some questions:

– Does being thin and wrinkle-free improve the perception about your body?

– Does wearing certain clothes and accessories boost your self-esteem?

– Does having a new car or a big house make you feel better?

Whereas the answer might be yes for these examples, the point is to find out what is the starting point, what is it that truly motivates and drives our behavior.  Do we act based on a loving and accepting self-image and as a consequence we create a life of wellbeing or do we believe our joy and happiness depend on how we look, how much money we have or the things we can buy with it, as well as on the external/social approval we receive based on these? Are we coming from a happy loving space or do these desires fulfil some neediness and fear of lack?

Mother Nature is a beautiful source of inspiration with very simple and effective examples on how easy it is to create a joyful way of being: a lavender plant would not dream of changing its aroma to smell better in the eyes of another lavender plant, a cow would not think of losing weight to please a partner, and certainly you’ve never seen a dolphin want a speedboat to go faster in the water.

These examples could serve as an invitation for us to realize that over the course of our life we have involuntarily learned and stored in our subconscious mind a series of perceptions, behaviors, attitudes and habits from the people and environment around us. And because they are subconscious, first we are unaware of them and second, they create our life. We downloaded these while we were very young and could not properly discern. In other words, we are actually a series of programs that others have believed to be right for us, and now we run them automatically. Certainly, many of these programs are useful and functional for our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being, while others are at the root of our daily limitations, barriers and difficulties.

Here is a practical experiment, in order to recognize if you are running automatic programs that condition your self-image. Let´s think of the last time you bought new clothes, a new phone, or a new tv, and ask yourself some of these questions:

• Did your self-image improve? Did your life improve in significant ways? Are you satisfied with the time and energy you had to put into obtaining this? Did others change their perception about you?

If the answer was “not really”… then you know that the “need” for these items is a program, a way to fulfill our lack of self-worth through material things.

Here is how Mother Nature can provide us with the perfect antidotes to the lack of self-esteem, the distorted perception of ourselves and the feeling of not being enough, along with some of the Principles that make it such a wonderful example of sustainable success.

• Adaptability: recognizing when a change is necessary for us and being able to adapt in a natural and effortless way. 

• Balance: the ability to use the masculine and feminine aspects of your life to achieve a balanced view of things, including the time devoted to work and to your personal life. 

• More is not always better: being able to recognize that you already have enough and that you can make better choices by selecting quality products that last over time.

If you are ready to take charge of your life and change the subconscious programs that keep you from seeing yourself with the eyes of “I am enough” and “I love myself”, so that you can enter a new level of expanded awareness and sustainable wellbeing, you can consider choosing PSYCH-K® as a way to internalize millions of years of Mother Nature´s wisdom.

Why doTERRA? - Pursue What's Pure

They say that becoming a mother is a defining point in the life of a woman. This certainly was very true about me! From the moment I became a mum my entire focus was on the little life that was growing in front of my eyes. “Is this the right thing to do? What if I make a mistake? I want to care for my child’s health properly… ” were some of the thoughts that kept coming to me. Motherhood put me on the path of a truly remarkable journey to self discovery through holistic natural healthcare to a totally new view of us humans as spiritual beings.

I wanted to stay home and be a mum but I had to leave my baby at nursery in order to go to work. Life was difficult. Hard work, long hours spent teaching other people’s children how to speak English. So I started an MLM business to support my income. It didn’t work. I used the products for my family and myself and we had great benefits but I made no money out of it.

The leaders of this MLM company were all successful and smiling doctors with huge patient following so who was I to compete with them?! I was not medically trained so I could not repeat what they did in this business. Furthermore, I did not have many friends as I had recently moved to this town. My family was making jokes about my meticulous use of the supplements and I had to constantly explain why nutrition was so important.

Very soon it became obvious that this MLM company was not going to do much for me financially. The teaching job was only paying a small salary and I desperately wanted to have a bit more financial freedom such as being able to afford a new (second-hand) car or a better flat. I kept looking…and life continued to be difficult. Looking back, it’s obvious how my programs of limitation and scarcity were the reason for all my financial and other struggles…

Twenty odd years later, I had gradually forgotten that my desires existed. I was a mum entirely devoted to her family. Homeopathy, reiki, energy healing and herbal medicine were my ways of dealing with ailments. I identified myself with being a wife and a home-maker who kept the house clean, the children well looked-after and well-behaved, delicious dinner cooked from scratch every day and all the other trimmings that come with a model super-woman who looks after the others but not herself.

This is when the unthinkable happened - my marriage broke down…

I found myself in the deepest darkness of my life... Financial survival was my biggest demon. A single parent with a single income, half of which paid on the rent, no wonder I reached rock bottom. I wanted to die… But I had my children to look after…

Becoming a mother is a defining moment in a woman’s life, they say. So is divorce, I say.

Through the pain of a broken heart, through the doubts and fears, through the confusion and limiting beliefs of worthlessness, hopelessness, lack of confidence and all the rest, some glimmers of hope twinkled occasionally, increasingly, in my darkness-dominated existence. Through holistic practices I did survive to tell this story today and once I picked myself up after lots of intensive mindset work, life started to look bright again. I began paying attention to my own desires, my wishes and I experienced for the first time what it felt like to truly love myself, unconditionally.

Money blocks were being released as well so space was created for new opportunities to appear… This is when doTERRA came into my life, attracted by my love for holistic natural health support. I welcomed it open-heartedly and it brought me a financial opportunity beyond compare! 

I have been using doTERRA oils and supplements (as well as I get paid for sharing my experience) for nearly 3 years now and still get amazed at how quickly these oils support my health and the health of my loved ones.

The most amazing transformation so far has been on emotional level. Because of the essential oils I have been able to forgive, to move on, to delete the left-over traces of resentment, to let go of worry, to transform anxiety, release anger and to fill my soul with light, to embrace freedom and to live fully. My next goal is to leave my teaching job and to focus entirely on helping people achieve the same transformation in their life by spreading the knowledge about these amazing doTERRA oils and the business opportunity that they carry.

It is possible to heal the world, with the right tools, one drop at a time! If you are someone like me, or if my story resonates with you, I'd love to get in touch.
