From Frustration to Freedom: A Channeled Path to Inner Peace

Photo by Stepan Konev on Unsplash

Hello and welcome. This is Sophia.

I am opening up this space here for channeling a message that is relevant to the right person. So I invite you to come in, take a deep breath, and arrive fully into this moment. A message that's relevant to you will emerge. Take what resonates and leave what doesn’t.

Let's go on this channeling journey and see what amazing gifts and messages await us.

Close your eyes.
Get comfortable.
Completely relax.

Your mind and your body arriving in this moment, feeling awake, alert, and relaxed. For the next few minutes, set aside all your ideas and projects, anxiety and fears, memories, inhibitions, pain, and tightness. Anything that your mind is being drawn to, just let it be. Don't engage in it.

And know that in this moment, all is well.

Know that everything you're experiencing is happening for you. It's happening for your path forward. You are being supported. You're being guided, and you are being helped on every step. Every step of the way, there are guides—benevolent beings, life force energy, universal energy, the chi—moving in the direction of expansion and growth, healing, and transformation.

What lens you pick and choose for your life is all up to you. You can choose the lens of peace and brotherhood, optimism, pragmatism—or you can choose to stay in the lower energies of fear, distrust, anger, resentment, jealousy, envy, and even things like frustration and impatience. These pull you down.

And yes, there will be moments when you feel frustration, when you feel impatient. The task at hand is to not stay there—to help yourself with tools to come out of that state as fast as possible.

When impatience arises, you recognize it as impatience. And then ask yourself:
What is behind this impatience?
What is it here to teach me?

There's always a lesson. There's always a message behind everything.

Impatience is showing you that you're not at ease with what is. You're wanting to push through, speed up. You're rejecting the process as it appears.

Your task then is to take a deep breath and accept the process. Do what you can to speed it up, but be at ease with how things unfold.

There is divine timing. There's intelligence in how things develop. And anytime things take long, things get delayed—reflect back on the seeds that you have sown. Take responsibility and use events as a mirror, as a status report of how things are.

If you're getting delayed, then you may have sown very tiny seeds of delaying someone—just in a very small way.

If you're getting a lot of stoplights on your road and you're getting impatient, it's important—the combination. If you're at a red light and feeling impatient, then what have you done in the past? You don't have to know exactly, but know that you have sown seeds of obstruction and blocks for others.

However, if you're at a stoplight and you are at ease, then you've sown seeds of ease for yourself and others. The context is very important.

If you look at the red light and think:
"I'm being protected."
"I have a moment to take a deep breath."
"Oh, look how beautiful the trees are."

If you're in the present moment, then that red light is facilitating your enjoyment of this moment. You can pause and observe the beauty around you.

However, if you feel frustrated or impatient, then this red light is serving as a mirror—showing you your inner state, the state of your mind. And when you get that status report, your task is to take a deep breath and come back into wisdom.

Come back into the knowing that all is happening in its own time. Come back into the awareness that you can only focus on, do, and influence what is within your control. The red light operates on other factors, and it's there for your protection.

With this change in attitude, with this understanding of the process, you relieve yourself from low-energy states—frustration, impatience, anger—whatever pulls you down instead of uplifting you.

Your task is to help yourself come back into the wise state, which you already know you have. You're already wise. You already know that impatience and these low-level energies are not beneficial to your path, to your purpose here in life. To stay there is not beneficial. To move out of it is.

So don't be concerned if you do fall back into old ways of being. Just practice coming out of it. Recognize:
"Oh, there it is again."
"Ah, I'm throwing a tantrum again."
"Here it is."

And have this two-minds effect.

• There’s the mind that is throwing a tantrum, being impatient.

• And then there’s the mind that can watch you being that way and help you out of it—like a loving brother, sister, friend, or your future wise self.

Whatever identity feels good to you, use it. This observing self can recognize what's happening, acknowledge it, and guide you back onto the path of peace.

Every time you come out of those low-energy states, you are taking a stand for inner peace—for your own peace and, as a result, peace on this earth. That is where it begins—in these small micro-moments where you are able to take action.

This is your practice ground. And when you are a master, that is what leads to enlightenment. You can practice right now, in each moment.

Your best tool is the breath, the pause—that moment between the feeling, the impulse, and the action, so it's not a reaction but a response.

So, my friends, this is my message for you today. I hope you found it helpful. Again, as always, take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and make changes in your life bit by bit.

Thank you so much for being here. I appreciate your time and attention, and I'll see you next time. Bye.

Being self-referential leads you to your True North

Peace and blessings be bestowed upon all.

What does it mean to be self-referential?

Self-referential means referring to your own self—referring to your true inner self.

Wading through the wild jungle of societal norms, parental voices, and made-up voices of other people that are cluttering your mind at any given time... walking through all of that and carving your own path is being self-referential. It means referring to your own inner guidance, referring to your own self for advice, for wisdom, for insight, for direction, for choices, for next steps—and of course, for your goals, your vision, the dream and the intention that you have for this life.

Being self-referential is freeing. Because you can never go wrong referring to yourself. Even if something you do or say turns out to be—quote unquote—a mistake. There are no such things as mistakes. You learn from it for your own personal growth.

You can take ownership for it. You can take accountability for your own actions. And there's no one else to blame—and that is freeing. You know that you have carved your own path.

Conversely, any good steps, any good words, any good actions you've taken are also because of your own efforts, your own initiative, and guidance. You can learn to accept praise and learn to celebrate your own success without deflecting it to somebody else.

No person is an island. Yes, we are working together. Everyone is interdependent. But when it comes to success, if you deflect it to the rest of the world, then you're not owning the fruits of your own labor, of your own genius, your own intellect, and your own intuition.

So, being self-referential is freeing in that way. When you refer to your own self for next steps, you're truly living in alignment with yourself. By taking small steps each day, asking yourself, “What do I need? What do I want? What do I do?”, you're moving bit by bit forward on your path, in the direction of your dream life. And in doing so, you are living your dream life now. Every time you reject an outside opinion—an outside voice telling you what to do or influencing your decisions—every time you reject that, you're living a life in alignment with True North.

It happens in moments. It happens in every single action or inaction, day by day. It’s not some glorious future phase where alignment with the true self is complete and done. It's a gradual process of becoming more and more in tune with who you are—who you truly are—and then expressing that out into the outer world from the inner world.

Now, let's talk about this thing called doubt. There are two versions of doubt.

One is when doubt emerges from a lack of trust in your inner self—a lack of trust in your own intuition, intellect, experience, skills, and talents. That one clearly comes from not knowing your true power, your true capabilities and your true talents.

The other flavor of doubt is not really doubt. It shows up looking like doubt, but it is actually cautious hesitation—or procrastination in some cases. It’s consciously delaying something. That kind of hesitation may appear as doubt, but it's actually an inner warning signal, an inner red flag that goes up and asks you to pause before taking action or saying something.

It’s like a red light at an intersection, or the bar that goes down at a railroad crossing—stop. It’s asking you to pause, to reflect, before you move forward, because there may be impending danger or discomfort if you continue on that path.

So, when you feel a lack of energy, a lack of inspiration, a lack of the excitement you used to feel about something, it's your inner compass guiding you. It's asking you to take a moment to reflect on where you are and where you want to go. To see if your current path is in alignment with your vision. Because inwardly, we all know what we want. It's just layers and layers of covering up that make us feel like, “I don't know what I want to do with my life. I don't know where I'm going. I don't know what I should do. I don't know the purpose of my life.”

You do know. Inwardly, deep down, you do know.

We’re just not able to access it because of these layers. And what are these layers? These layers are habitual patterns, habitual practices of not asking yourself for what you want, not asking yourself for direction. They are patterns of being scared of the consequences of taking responsibility for your own actions—so you delegate or deflect responsibility to someone else. That way, if something doesn't pan out, you can avoid the blame of that “failure”.

But life is full of experiences—learning moments. Being scared of that unhooks you from your own growth and development on the path.

These layers are made up of other people’s voices, past experiences, shame or guilt (felt from within or imposed from the outside), and memories of times you acted from your true self and were reprimanded, punished, or faced negative consequences because you were not in an environment that supported your way of being. You were not in an environment conducive for your true self to blossom. It was, in fact, shut down—beat out of you.

But now, as an adult living your own life, you can reclaim that part of yourself. You can nurture it. You can cultivate, take care of, and encourage that little blossom, that little flower of your true inner self that is wanting to flourish. It just needs the right conditions. Give it the right conditions and watch yourself shoot out of the ground, blossoming like a tall, flourishing tree—very fast, like bamboo grass growing rapidly with just the right amount of nurturing, encouragement, and trust.

Trusting that your inner guidance is here for you, helping you move toward your True North.

Being self-referential is a powerful way of being. It’s a rebellious way of being. It’s a bold way of being—even if the way it looks is very quiet, soft, and gentle. It’s still bold.

Every time you say no to a request—when you truly want to say no—you are being self-referential.

Every time you cater to your own needs, you are being self-referential.

Every time you look within for answers, ask yourself for guidance, do stream-of-consciousness writing, journaling, introspective exercises, or self-guided or guided visual journeys, you are being self-referential.

And you do not need to do external research when you are being self-referential. You are in tune with your intuition, with the universal energy that contains all the information you need. You can tap into that infinite portal of wisdom and knowledge.

Being self-referential also attunes you to little nudges, little hunches, little premonitions that you are continuously being alerted to.

The biggest hurdle? Second-guessing. Doubting.

Don’t second-guess yourself. Your choices—your decisions that come from alignment with your True North—may not always make rational sense. But that’s okay. They don’t have to be rational. Because they are not rational. They are something even better. They are tapped into an infinite portal of universal knowledge and wisdom and experience that is beyond the rational human mind. It’s a supercomputer of supercomputers.

If you rely on that as your inner source—your guidance system, your navigation system—there is nothing to question or second-guess. When you know that, it helps you become more confident.

There’s help. There’s support. There are guides. There are mentors. There are energies wanting to support you for your highest good.

So start going deeper on this path of being self-referential. Maybe you’ve already done a lot of work in this area—keep going.

If you feel disconnected from being self-referential, that’s okay. In fact, that’s great, because now you know what it feels like not to be. And now, as you step into being self-referential, you will know the difference. You will feel the relief, the calm, the peace, the contentment that begins to grow in your life experience.

Even though it may feel chaotic or a little bit uncomfortable at first—because any new growth has growing pains—it doesn’t have to. You can be gentle. You get to choose how you approach it.

And you won’t go wrong when you rely on your inner ethical compass, your moral compass, with an intention rooted in a wholesome, benevolent, non-harming way of being. That is your path to doing good—for yourself and for others.

So ask yourself: In what ways have I not been self-referential?

Think of one, two, or three incidents when that happened. In what ways did I delegate responsibility to others or allow others' ideas about how I should live my life to influence my decisions?

There is no judgment here. Just awareness. It’s just knowing.

Know what you’ve been doing. Know the patterns you’ve practiced. And don’t judge yourself. You did nothing wrong. It’s all part of the journey—stepping stones on the path of your life experience. There’s no judgment in that. It’s important, don’t judge yourself for it because you did nothing wrong. Everything you’ve experienced is all stepping stones on your life journey.

Once you’ve reflected on that, ask yourself: What are some things I need to do differently? Where can I be more self-referential? Pick any of these questions. You don’t have to answer them all. Just see what arises.

Where do I need to be more self-referential?

What change can I anticipate in my life when I am being self-referential?

Take a couple of minutes to reflect. Not a huge process—just a few minutes of honest reflection. Use bullet points, doodles, full sentences, lists—whatever flows naturally as answers. Just jot it down.

And then, ask yourself this:

What is stopping me from relying on my own self?
From my own talents?
From my own ingenuity?
From my own initiatives?

What is stopping me from being self-referential—relying on my own inner guidance system?

With this introspective process, you will unearth a gold mine of awareness, of insights—and possibly, some new action steps and new ways of being.

A new way of being that is in alignment with your True North.
That helps you live a life of meaning and purpose.

It’s simple.
It’s fulfilling.

Emotionally.
Spiritually.
And financially.

Your Intuition is Guiding You Right Now

Your intuition is guiding you — always. Think back to all the choices and decisions you made that were guided by intuition — this inner-knowing and sense of direction. And think of the times when you pushed through something even when your heart was guiding you otherwise.

Take a piece of paper and create two columns. In column one, make a list of 2-3 occasions where you listened to your intuition. In column two, make a list of 2-3 occasions where you didn’t listen to your intuition.

Now ask yourself: What is my intuition guiding me to do? What does my heart want to do?

Allow the clarity to flow through you.

Your True North - the secret to your successful business and life

Peace and blessings be bestowed upon all.

Today, know that all is well. In this moment, there is peace. In this moment, there is Stillness.

Know that there are things happening under the surface, below the soil. The seeds that you've planted are growing stronger and many have already burst through the soil–new shoots, new buds, new leaves, new flowers.

Your attention and focus needs to be only on your part: what you can do,
what you can be, what you can think and feel, all of that in alignment with your True North, all of that in alignment with the mission, the goal, the purpose, the meaning that you have determined for your life.

Let nothing come in the way–not distraction, not procrastination, not delusion, not self-sabotage.

They will come up. And your task is  like a master ninja: navigate through these obstacles.

There is no obstacle from the outside world. It's all within you. The game is happening within you. The inspiration, the ideas, the creative flow, the channeling, the connection, the deep sense of purpose, all of that is within you.

And all the hurdles mental, emotional physical, they are also within you. The environment does play a role, yes. But it doesn't need to have power over you. You can mold your environment to fit your needs. And even if you feel you can't change your environment completely, that's all right. You can always change something. You can change your mind, your ideas, your imagination and you can actually change something in your physical. You can adjust, organize, tidy up, clean, declutter, streamline, simplify, let go, donate.

So, there is a lot in your hands literally. But a lot more in your mind. The mind is the precursor of all things.

So work with your mind. Work with your ability to transform your thinking. Work with your ability to calm your mind to become still. And make it non-negotiable to do the one thing that you know will bring you forward, will propel you into the version of yourself that you want to be, into the person you want to become.

Repetition is helpful. Remind yourself who it is that you are becoming, who it is you want to become and embody that persona that self now.

This clarity is a work in progress. Let's start with what you've got. Start with what, in this moment, you can determine as–the self, the new being, the new persona, the new identity that you want to embody.

Start with what you've got. You could always develop it, refine it, make it more accurate and more clear. But lack of clarity should not be an obstacle because there's always some clarity. There's always some iInformation, intuition, inner-guidance, some inkling that you have in this moment. Trust that. Build upon that. Perhaps you only need to know what you know. You don't need to know everything. You don't need to know the whole path.

So, do your inner work, work with your mind and bring attention always back to: what is your zone of influence?

When worries come about the world around you, about the economy, politics, society, people, all these things. Those are things that are beyond your circle of influence. Bring attention back into what YOU can influence.

Anytime you allow your mind to wallow in self-pity, in worry, in doubt, in confusion, inaction, procrastination–all of those things are slowing you down from that which you already are, from realizing and becoming aware of this infinite being, multi-dimensional being with infinite potential, infinite power and access to creativity, abundance, information, ideas, resilience, wisdom, compassion, and generosity. You have all of that within reach.

So see how you can help yourself create structures or routines or patterns in your day that can be conducive to this wholesome way of living. It's a constant process of refinement. And with each step, it gets better and better–each conscious step. And then it becomes fun, becomes a game, becomes a very, intriguing process filled with curiosity, with creativity, with fun, with joy and lightness.

And then in the process, on the way, on the path you enjoy the journey. And that is the most valuable gift that you can give yourself is to get to this place where you're enjoying the journey. without the need to get to the destination. There is drive, and there is propulsion towards that goal but there's no need, there's no attachment or desperation around that goal.

And that's hugely important because when you become fixated on the goal, on the future, on acquiring and accomplishing, you divorce yourself from the present moment, you divorce yourself from that which is wonderful right now right here.

And then you are not fully enjoying the process. Things that you're doing become means to the end, and that will slowly deplete your resources. It will deplete your energy, will drain you of this life energy. And sooner or later, you'll start to resent the process. You will start to resent the goal, start to resent yourself, your environment, the people, and all of that starts to fall apart.

So it's immensely important that you keep this awareness of your desire and your goal in mind, embody that persona, that future self right now, right here; visualize and in your mind's eye you've already accomplished all of that. And from that place, you take action, and that action then is in flow, is in alignment is, is without confusion, it just happens. You just take action one after the other. And you enjoy life. You enjoy this journey.

And then along this path, you start to touch, influence, inspire others. Through your true, authentic self you pull in, you attract those that are ready, that are primed for this moment, for this moment of impact and transformation in their lives. The intersection of your authentic self and this person needing, wanting, desiring that transformation–that happens when you have helped yourself to come into alignment with your true north.

And so it's a magical, mystical, beautiful, synchronous dance of the universe, bringing you to those that want and need what you have, your gifts to offer.

And allowing you to attract those people instead of going after them. You just do your thing, right? You do your process. You do your inner work. You do your creative effort. You do your automatic action. And the folks will be drawn to you.

The flower blossoms in its fragrant, colorful form and the bees and the pollinators, the butterflies, the hummingbirds, they are drawn to the flower. Flower has what the hummingbird wants and needs and craves. And it will find the flower.

And so in this equation, you are the flower. The people and the clients and the partners are the hummingbirds of this world. They will find you because they're pulled by your fragrance, your gifts, your skills, your colors, your authentic self. No masks. The flower is not putting up a mask. A sunflower is not putting up the mask of a rose. Neither is the rose trying to be a daffodil or is a daffodil trying to be a daisy or anything else. They are being their authentic self and the right pollinator is matched to that flower. That's the principle of life, of nature.

And your gifts are designed in such a way that this group of people, their potential, their desires, their transformation is unlocked through the key that is your gift.

Therefore, this match is serendipitous. It's without effort, without force, without pushing and going against the flow. It's the opposite of all of that. It's in harmony. It's in balance. It's in beauty. It's in synchronicity. It's alignment. 

It's the coming together of all the ingredients that are needed in this recipe–the right components to build this formula of healing, of transformation, of impact of whatever it is, that is your gift and whatever the impact is going to be on the people, the environment, the animals, whoever your target audience is in this in the sense. And again, it doesn't necessarily have to be people. It could be the environment. It could be systems. It could be animals. It could be the land, the water, the air. It could be innovation for certain problems, solutions for certain problems that are larger than just affecting humanity –hoever your audience is, whoever is on the other side of your benevolence. And perhaps your gift is sharing your wealth meaningfully, the right causes that are in alignment  with you.

And instead of willy-nilly donating or contributing you find a powerful, impactful way of making your wealth create change, create relief, create space for beautiful growth, for blossoming, heal, transform and innovate. So, it's not necessarily just about your business activities or your personal relationships, but also the impact you can have as an abundant wealthy being.

How your wealth can contribute, how your life can contribute, how your work can contribute. Because in the end, it is about you coming in alignment with your true gifts so that these gifts can then be a source of influence and transformation for others. Whether you're an artist creating beautiful art and having an impact on minds of people and hearts of people. Or you are a spiritual healer having a spiritual, transformative impact on the lives of people. Or you're a scientist or an author impacting people with the power of ideas and research.

Literally any field that you may be in. It is how you can be in complete alignment with your true north so that your authentic self is automatically having an impact on those who are uniquely fit to receive that impact, uniquely fit. Like a puzzle piece. Uniquely fit like a puzzle piece.

And that's why it is so powerful and so important that each one of us gets into alignment, finds the true north, allows themselves the permission to be their authentic self because each one of us is a piece of the puzzle that is so badly needed.

For our physical, emotional, spiritual transformation and ascension.

And it is going to be through the individual that this transformation happens. Each individual then creating a collective of transformative entity.

Without the individual, the collective is nothing.

It falls apart, right? Right away. And sometimes an individual Journey. Sometimes, it's a collective journey. Sometimes, it's one person doing their own thing. Sometimes, it's people coming together to do that thing.

As long as we allow ourselves to get in touch with our iIntuitive, creative, powerhouse that is within us, that is guiding us to come in complete alignment with our true north, then we are on the right path.

And it's surprising sometimes that it takes decades of trial and error, of suffering, of stress, of disconnecting ourselves from our inner channels and our inner flows to come to that point in our lives when we are ready. When we do not care for these made-up societal norms and ideas and expectations, we disconnect from that external pressure cooker that we often find ourselves in and become self-referential. Become self-guided. Become that creative leader of our own lives, breaking inertia, stepping into momentum and driving forward for peace, for our own inner peace, fulfillment and contentment.

And if you are at that point right now, Bravo! You have paid your dues to get to this point. You have suffered enough. You have disconnected yourself enough from yourself, from your true self, from your higher self, from Source, that  intuitive guidance that is with you the whole time.

And you're ready! You're ready to step out and step into your most blissful, most euphoric, most creative, powerful self.

And drawing to you with ease, with flow bounty that is yours.

And all of these leads to self-mastery, self-leadership, self-compassion, self-love, becoming self-referential, Intuitive and the most brilliant, radiant being that you already are.

You are Worthy

Peace and blessings be bestowed upon all.

Take a deep breath. Know that the world belongs to you. There isn't a thing you need to change about yourself to be worthy. You are worthy inherently. You exist, and so you are worthy.

Your worth doesn't come from your skills or looks or what you do for a living. It doesn't come from you being a good kid and following what everyone says. It doesn't come from you, ignoring, silencing, or sacrificing and what's good for you and who you are.
Your worthiness is innate. You were born worthy. You don't have to prove to anyone anything. You don't have to explain yourself or justify your choices.

You can do whatever you like to do for a living. It's your choice. Not your parents. You can live wherever you like to live, even if it's away from your childhood town. You can dress how you like to dress. You can learn any language you like, even if it's not related to your college major or professional goals.

You can play any instrument and learn any instrument you want to learn. You can play any sport, any sport you desire. You can also choose not to play a sport and not to play any instrument or not learn a specific language or not do anything you do not want to do.

You don't have to get a Master's. You don't have to get a PhD. You don't have to change your hair, your clothes, your job, or your boyfriend or your girlfriend to please your parents.

You have the permission to be you; not that you need anyone's permission.

Free yourself from the shackles of others’ ideas about what's good for you. Chart your own course. Be your own guide and cheerleader. This life is for you to explore and express your true, authentic expression of who you are.

Drop the “shoulds” imposed by a false sense of obedience to the norms of society. Do no harm to anyone including yourself and allow your creative gifts to flourish and prosper.

Become the intuitive channel that you already are.

And open up to the gifts that are bursting to flow through you.

Embrace Your Gifts

Peace and blessings be bestowed upon all.

Know that you are an infinite being. Your ability to create, manifest and transform is beyond any limits. Your access to infinite source is right here available to you. You need only open yourself to the possibility of infinite guidance, ideas, and inspiration being yours to access right now.

When you block the flow you are already receiving, the flow turns into a trickle. That's when you feel fearful, scarcity-minded and a bit without hope. You do this every time you say, “I don't know, I can't, Maybe, I'll try, Perhaps, Only if.” The flow slows down when you dam it with thoughts of doubt and worry.

You block it by not acting on the little small nudges.

You block it by slowing down your consistent action. By judging it as too easy. Ease and flow are signs of your abundance. Do not judge it as not good enough.

If it's easy and there's flow, receive it graciously.

When you open up to flow, you take action on your nudges with full faith, full conviction, full confidence. You move forward boldly without worrying about what other people think.

You show doubt and hopelessness, the door. You surround yourself with people who inspire and uplift you. You create with love, out of love.

You Embrace Your Gifts. You recognize your talents. You allow yourself to flourish, to receive, and to prosper.

I hope these words help you relax any tension and tightness you may have been feeling in your mind or in your body.

You are in charge of your well-being. You may not have been loved, encouraged, or supported while you were young, but now you are in charge. You can be the cheerleader for yourself and support your own journey.

So, move forward. Take action on your Divine nudges. Keep listening to the sound of flow and the feeling of ease.

You are here to create peace, joy, and abundance. 

Simplifying is a bold act

Peace and blessings bestowed upon all.

Simplifying is a bold act.

It's not just about reducing for the sake of it. It is a conscious action in the direction of your goals and your chosen life. It opens up the field of vision so you can lighten the burden and see where you're going.

There is this practice in gardening for propagation that I want to point out:
You take a stem, let's say, of a flourishing salvia plant. For it to grow into a new plant, one removes the bottom leaves - this is where the new Roots will grow out. And one also removes any blooms or big leaves on top so that the energy of the plant goes towards growing roots so that the plant can be established for the long run.

To grow something new in your life and to see it get established with roots, remove the things that are taking up your energy. Remove them so that your energy can go towards the thing you want to grow.

So, ask yourself. What am I trying to grow? What are the things that are pulling my energy? What do you need to let go?

And the things that you need to let go can come in many forms.

It can be things - that which takes up physical space and resources.
It can be projects - that which takes up your time.
It can be activities - that which takes up your time and energy.
It can be relationships - that which takes up your emotional, mental, and physical energy.

It can also be things that are either unfinished, undecided, undedicated, or untimely.

Examples of unfinished can be projects and relationships. Undecided are decisions that are not taken. Undedicated are items whose purpose and use is not yet dedicated for something. Or untimely delays in implementing ideas, promises, decisions, or that which you had planned to do.

Taking action towards your dream life is then like gardening. Remove the excess that's taking your energy. And make space for that which you want newly established. 

Step into your inner alignment

Peace and blessings, bestowed upon all.

Worries dissolve.
Flow state reinstated.
Creativity, laughter, and fulfillment are yours to experience.

Today, let go of old patterns of delay and procrastination. Today, do those things you already know need doing. There's a lot that's under your influence. Leave the rest to Faith.

Your path lies before you.
You need only take the first step, and that first step is the action that you take easily.

Step into your natural cadence, pace, and rhythm. Enjoy the creative journey. Do what you need to do out of love out of “this is my natural state, this is my optimal, authentic, creative state”.

Each day, do more and more of that which is in harmony with your true being, and that which brings you in harmony with your inner nature. Align the inner and the outer. Your inner self or higher self wants nothing from the outer world. Instead, it only wants to give to others and wants to give its most authentic self.

It resides in a state of love and abundance and is already flourishing.

When it is flourishing, it needs nothing. All it naturally does is create, bless, heal, and amuse. It's in a state of bliss and joy.

The question I have for you is this: Are you going to open up to the possibility of living a life of flow, peace, authentic creation, and live a life of joy and true freedom? Or will you continue to allow false concepts of how to live hallucinate your senses?

Will you live a path of your inner truth? Or replay the lies and fears over and over in your mind. You can free yourself. It's truly your choice.

How does this play out in your everyday life? It's the little things that's truly big. It shows up in the small, everyday choices. Mainly: what thoughts you think, what ideas you expose yourself to, and what actions you take - what you do from moment to moment.

We, your guides, your helpers are here with you every moment. Call out to us and with any request we will help you.

Drop shoulds. Replace with: I can. I want to. I get to. I choose to. I prefer to.
And drop, saying yes when you actually want to say no.

Step into your inner alignment. Follow your inner flow, go with ease, abundance, peace, and love.

This is all yours right now. 

Write Unapologetically

Write unapologetically. Write as if everything you write is gold.
Write knowing that only good will come out of it.

Let go of your fake high standards. They only keep you stuck in an old pattern of perfectionism that is filled with lack.

The lack mindset is the poison that can kill your soul.
The flow of your writing comes from a deep source of infinite wisdom and knowledge. You are to tap into it.

Bring forth your gifts for the world through the magic of words and writing.
Writing is your path to peace, love, and enlightenment.

Be bold.

Don’t worry about what “they” will say. ”They” don’t exist in real life.
“They” are only a figment of your imagination pulling you down from the exponential path you are on.

Write knowing that every beautiful experience can be re-lived and created and recreated through your words.
Write knowing that the divine, Universal energy wants to flow through you and your pen to become the catalyst for your inner transformation and mult-dimensional expansion, healing and freedom.

Do this everyday…several times a day.

Write and you shall secure your freedom.

Messages From Within

For years, I’ve been asking my inner-self for guidance.
For years, I’ve been receiving both specific and general guidance.

Specific guidance has been about what I should I do next that’s tailor-made for that particular moment in my life.
General guidance has been guidance that would be beneficial for anyone who is on the path to peace and self-actualization.

I am now sharing this guidance in the blog category: Messages From Within

Today, I will share the specific guidance I received that’s relevant:

”You are opening up to your real mission in this life: to uplift people and show them the way to peace and love. By interviewing people the way you are planning, you are assisting in a big shift, a huge transformation that people on this Earth are thirsty for. Remember that we want you to succeed so we will help guide you every day, every moment.”

Here’s today’s guidance for you:
”You are trying to create the new while also wanting the old to help you. But the old will only hinder you on this new path you are going on.
So create the brand new. Let go of the old. Let go of old chapters.
Ask yourself, ‘What will help me simplify my life?’”

Welcome to “Messages From Within” and I know that it will be fruitful for you in accelerating on your path and your life’s mission.

Be You

Be you. Being yourself, being authentic is your secret to success and abundance.

Anytime you second-guess yourself, know that this is not you. It’s not coming from your true self. Your true self doesn’t judge you. It doesn’t say you should be anyone you are not.

Yes, being your true self can be challenging at times. Especially, if the culture and society you live in doesn’t accept you and your way of being. Then, see if you can go to a different place if that’s possible right now. Be among those who will accept you and love you for who you are. But if you can’t change where you are and if it is dangerous to show your true self, be safe first. Do what’s best right now so you can be safe. Then in your mind, go to a place where you can freely be yourself. Visualize this.

In your mind, be free because no one can take away your freedom there. Then see yourself in a place where you can be yourself in safety and complete freedom.

Be guided from within.

Don’t Judge Your Desires

The desire that’s within you is there for a reason. It is through this desire you will become the version of yourself that you truly want to be.

Inside this desire is a treasure trove. Just like the oak nut is the seed for a beautiful, healthy, strong tree, so is your desire a seed for all that you are to embody.

It’s your desire that brings out the many aspects of yourself - good and bad - that you can become familiar with. It brings out our fears and doubts and greed and anger and impatience and self-judgments. We can become aware of it and allow these to pass and fade away. Through the very process of becoming aware, the dissolve.

But your desires also bring out your aspirations, the enthusiasm and excitement for that which you truly want to do. It fills you with energy and determination and creativity and innovation.

Your desire is your guide.

Don’t judge them.

Make sure they are coming from your true, pure heart. A truly genuine desire doesn’t harm anyone. If the desire blatantly harms or hurts someone then, of course, rethink your path and course of action.

But if it is truly your genuine pure heart’s desire and it comes from that place of benevolence, then you can trust it.

Universe, God, Divine Force, whatever you want to call it, wants to experience life through you, through your desires.

Let your desires be your guide and let them help you become the best version of yourself that’s already within you.

Rewards Of Simplicity

Simplicity comes with a lot of benefits. The less clutter, the less unresolved things you have hanging about both in your mind and in your surrounds, the more mental space you will have.

Simplicity leads to greater mental peace.

Be bold in letting go of that which you know no longer serves you.

Ask yourself:

Why are you holding on to it?
What will happen when you let it go?
What stagnant, stuck energy will you free up?
How will you feel when you make changes to simplify your life?
How does it feel now that you have streamlined and simplified your belongings?

One of the reasons we do not take action towards simplifying is because we feel that it will be too much to handle. It feels overwhelming, burdensome.

And yes, some aspects of simplifying are not easy. Taking decisions, choosing, discerning, letting go - these are not easy.
The can be physically and emotionally draining and can take mental bandwidth - bandwidth that in our tired, busy lives we may not have.

But if you take it piece by piece, step by step, its totally doable. Take away any time pressure you may be feeling from this process. If you had all the time in the world, how would you go about this simplifying process? You would feel no pressure, right? So take that pressure off and take one thing at a time.

With every decision you make, every item you let go, every part of your life that you simplify, you will gain tons of energy back.

You will be rewarded for the effort you put in. You will feel lighter, you will have more clarity. You will feel calmer. You will feel more energy.

Your mind will be spacious, expansive, and free of worries and burdens.

Let go of mental and physical clutter.

And you don’t have to do it alone. Seek help wherever needed. You will help someone else feel useful. That’s a really important gift you can give someone.

Your Today Is The Result Of Your Yesterday

About | Contact | YouTube | Free Masterclass

Don’t let the past be in your way.

Just because certain things happened a certain way in the past, that doesn’t mean it needs to happen that way again because you can change your mind. From your mind you create your tomorrow.

Your today is the result of your yesterday.

It is the mirror that’s showing you the results of your yestermind - a mind of yesterday. You look around and you will see some things in your present are good. Some are not pleasant. So let it be and get busy creating a new version of your new life in your mind.

Today’s reality is just a mirror of what you unknowingly and unconsciously created in the past.

Do leave the mirror alone. Let’s say you have a hat on or a dress on and you go check it out in the mirror. If you don’t like it, what do you do? You go and change the hat or the dress, right? You don’t go and break the mirror or change the mirror. In the very same way, go and change the mind. Go create a new scene in your mind about your day, your life, about every part of your life.

Practice it and see the life around you change. See your conversations, your reality, the people and even animals; see your entire life transform.

But it starts with your mind.

Don’t let what you see in the mirror throw you off. Change the vision in your mind and then see the mirror reflect that back to you.

Opening to new beginnings with ease.

If you are able to trust the process of this journey of life, then you can ease into the ebb and flow that at times feels disconcerting.

If you know that everything changes, you will understand that the difficult times will end someday and you will thus, not be too disturbed. You recognize that this is temporary and deal with it the best you can.

If you know that everything changes, you will cherish the good times, be present with the moment and enjoy it the best you can.

This is the ebb and flow of life. Change is one of its core components.

Embracing this will free you of a lot of heartache.

Know that like a sturdy ship, you too can navigate the undulating waves of this ocean of life.

Beginning is The First Step

Written by Sophia / Abundance Through Imagination

About | Contact | YouTube | Free Masterclass

Beginning is the first step. Taking that first step starts to shift things. With one small action you begin to carve out a new way of being.

Be happy that you had the courage to do something new and different than the old routine. Because that’s not an easy thing - to begin, to take the first step.

Now, carry on. Make this path your focus. Do what you know can be done. Don’t worry about all that you don’t know. You only need to take the right next step for this moment. And then the next moment and then the next moment and so on.

Just like going on a foggy road, you only need to see the road a few meters, a few yards ahead of you. It’s not necessary for you to see the whole path to your destination.

As long as you have the next few yards visible, make progress, keep forging ahead.

The only thing you need clearly is the vision of your most miraculous life in your mind. And keep that vision alive.

One way to do that is to make up a scene that implies that what you want has already happened. This is a method taught by Neville Goddard. And if you want to learn more check out the book, the Power of Awareness that Neville Goddard wrote.

So the scene can be made up of anything that means to you that your desire has come to fruition. So if you are dreaming of a car, then see yourself putting keys in the key hanger. If you are dreaming of a partner, see a closet where it’s your clothes and their clothes.

You don’t need much emotion for this scene.

Just see the people, things, and events clearly in your mind.

The Process Of Getting Clarity | Free Flow Writing

Written by Sophia / Abundance Through Imagination
I help you create abundance in your life using the law of assumption and Neville Goddard teachings.
About | Contact | YouTube | Free Masterclass

See yourself already having clarity in a scene. Then journal and ask your inner self specific questions.

The answer will come if you free flow write. Write without censoring or editing.

Then take one step from that guidance that speaks loudest to you.

Stay with the question gently in your mind until you have what you are looking for and then take an action to move forward.

It can be as small as organizing a small section of your home or desk. It can be looking up something on the web or emailing someone.

The action should feed and be natural and automatic, not forced.

Once you have gained clarity, write it down in your journal or on a piece of paper and have it somewhere visible.

The World Is A Mirror Of How You Are Within

Give yourself what you are looking for from others. Be your best friend. Be your own mentor and guide. Be your own beloved.

Looking for attention from others? Give yourself attention.

Ask, “what do you need?”. What changes do I need to make? Your self is looking for care and attention from you.

Looking for others to notice you, to give you approval? Give yourself approval. Notice the good things you do, think and say. Notice yourself first.

Wanting someone to love you? Love yourself first. Give yourself the love, understanding and acceptance that you are looking for from someone else.

Care for yourself. Give yourself attention. Practice approval. Love yourself. Give yourself understanding.

And please stop criticizing yourself. Stop saying things to yourself that you know your best friend would never say to you.

Stop undervaluing yourself. Stop ignoring the good you are doing, no matter how small it may seem. Stop disrespecting yourself in ways small and big.

What you are looking for from others, first give it to yourself. Then, you will not want it anymore from others. And as a side effect the world will give you what you have been giving yourself.

The world is a mirror of how you are within, like a quiet still pond, it reflects back to you what you already are.

Let Your Desires Guide You | A message for your next phase

Written by Sophia / Abundance Through Imagination
I help you create abundance in your life using the law of assumption and Neville Goddard teachings.
About | Contact | YouTube | Free Masterclass

Your sea* phase is beginning. You will be guided to the next phase, in your dreams, by people and by intuition. It will come so naturally.

*Sea: here sea is a placeholder for expansive, light, flow state. It could also be literal for those who resonate. But generally it stands for a phase in which you are fluid and expanding your horizon.

Let your desires guide you. Honor them by action upon them. Be in flow. Be at ease. Slow things down - the chatter in your mind. Sit still at times throughout the day. For a minute or five minutes.

Invite in ease. Know and trust that ease is your birthright. Flow is part of who you are. It’s not lazy to go for ease - its being in flow with life, with nature.

A hint on your path: do now rather than later. Do not postpone a thing that your heart is guiding you towards. Make the move when inspired from within. And come back to trust that things will materialize in the highest good.

But you have to take an active role. The action needs to come from within, from guidance within. It cannot be forced. It cannot be something you think you should do or others say you ought to do. As soon as doubts or questions arise, pause. These doubts and questions are telling you that it’s not the right time. You will know when it feels just right, when all internal and external resistance fades away.

Then you are truly acting from inner guidance. And don’t put too much expectation or pressure on that one thing. Because it is only a stepping stone on your journey. Just like when crossing a tiny stream, you step on many little stepping stones. Similarly, the next step you take is one of many stepping stones.

Literally, take it step by step with ease.

Let go of time pressure: There’s plenty of time. Your experience of time is bound to change as you step in flow and then there you experience timelessness. Time will no longer have a hold on you. You will transcend both space and time and enter a new dimension of possibilities. A dimension “where” things take place instantly and you experience it without the constraints of time.

This is available to you - you have to let go of your deep attachment to the notion of time. This will make you lighter, free of burdens and more at ease with what is.

You have everything you need within you.

You Miss 100% Of Shots You Don’t Take| Wayne Gretzky

Written by Sophia / Abundance Through Imagination

Last month, World Cup Soccer took place. In one of the matches, Brasil vs South Korea, Brasil won 4-1. What’s interesting to note is that Brasil took several chances towards the goal for each one that worked. It was not one goal for every 4 attempts. There were multiple attempts by several players.

So for me, that’s a message: Have a simplified, clear vision and then keep making multiple attempts.

”You miss 100% of shots you don’t take.” - Wayne Gretzky. But when you take that shot and miss, keep trying.

If you’ve already tried something, and it didn’t work, there are potentially many reasons why. Maybe it was just bad timing. So try again. As along as your goal is beneficial to people and to yourself in the highest good, and doesn’t harm anyone, keep trying.

You failed a driving test, that’s okay. It’s just a status report on how your skills are at the moment. Pay attention to what led you to fail - what areas you lost points on, then go back and practice. Do this over and over until you finally have your driver’s license.

Life gives you more than just second chances. As long as you have a breath, there is still a chance for change, transformation, for progress.

Give it yet another shot.
