Questioning Our Intentions
Between now and December 21st, we are being
influenced by the forces of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is a time "of rediscovery -
a time when we renew our aspiration and rechart the direction in which we are
heading in life. Yet in no way is it a time to yearn to return to the 'comfortable'
life of the past. It is a time to harvest the wisdom of our past experiences,
integrate the talent and strength and understanding we have acquired, and
invest them in a thorough overhaul of the personality, so we can push forward
into the future, along the course the soul has set for us." - Carl Japikse from The Forces of the Zodiac
These energetic forces seem to be stirring things up -
physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. For me, modes of operating
and communicating no longer seem to be as effective as they were before. As a
result, I search deeper within myself for meaning, for alignment, and for what
is motivating my intentions. I have come to learn that every intention is motivated
by either a NEED or a FEAR. As such, we are being given the opportunity to go
deeper and really understand what that is.
In recent reflections, I have come to identify that my intention
to experience deep connection is motivated by my need for authenticity. I am
repelled by fakeness, fallacy, and pretense. I strive to speak the truth, hear
the truth, and see the truth. For many years, I have experimented with ways of
expressing this truth - thinking at times that my view was the right way and
the only way. Yet, I am coming to realize that truth is how we perceive it. How we view the world and each other
depends upon our perceptions - which are always formed by experiences, our
memories, and our belief systems. Each one of us may have a different truth. We
may experience each other differently, and we likely view the world differently.
This month, I am working on finding a non-dual solution
to express my authenticity. I am searching for a way that allows me to
discover, honor, and express my truth without it having to be the only point of
view. The way I am practicing this is to share my observations, my insights and
experiences openly and honestly AND AT THE
SAME TIME be genuinely interested in discovering, learning and hearing
other points of view and perspective with EQUAL value, compassion and respect.
It sounds easy, but how often do we really
listen to each other with the same amount of attention and care that we desire to
receive ourselves?
The other experiment I am running is only sharing my opinion
when I am asked. WOW, is that hard! You can't even begin to imagine how challenging
it is to get through one day (especially being a coach)! I invite you to try it
out with me.
These examples are ways to rediscover ourselves and
rechart the direction in our lives. We can do this by bringing that which is
unconscious (our need or fear that is motivating our intentions) to our
awareness. When we do this, we become more clear about who we are, why we are
the way we are, and who we desire to be. With this new level of self awareness,
we are able to make better choices that align with deliberate action rather
than automatic response. For me, this is something I continue to strive for.
Please join me this week in reviewing your INTENTIONS
and shifting your automatic responses to deliberate choices.
- Write down the
intentions you have set about anything (a relationship, work, money,
health, etc).
- Ask yourself
what is the need or fear that is motivating your intention? Write the need
or fear down for each intention.
- Revise your
intention such that your need or fear is really being nurtured and
supported.
- Write down some deliberate choices or actions you can take to honor your new intention.
In the spirit of sharing and connection, I invite you to post your intentions and reflections on my blog at www.jennifermulholland.blogspot.com. That way, we can all learn from one another.
Have a wonderful week and happy holidays!
BELIEVE in the possible. CREATE the possible. LIVE the possible.

SOULFUL SEEDS
"Most people think that making decisions is hard,
especially financial decisions, so they end up burying their heads in
the sand, hoping someone else will make their decisions for them. The
thing to realize is that by not making decisions, we are really making
decisions anyway. We are really deciding that we will continue to do
what we have done up until now."

Feng Shui Tip
 12/3/09
"So
you made it through Black Friday with your crumbling credit intact and
then sailed through Cyber Monday in much the same way. But now you're
starting to worry about how much longer you can hold out before hitting
the mall while adding a deeper dent to your debt? First, remember that
what you spend your time worrying about is also the exact same energy
that you tend to attract right back to you. That said, here's what I
want you to do: Each and every time you find yourself starting to panic
about pulling out the financial stops so you can hit the holiday shops,
stop, breathe and then repeat this affirmation nine times aloud: 'My
ships come in over a calm sea, under grace in perfect ways.' As you
continue to imbed this thought into your subconscious and psyche,
you'll also notice that boatloads of moneymaking opportunities are
heading your way. Grab one. Or five. Calmly. Perfectly. Gracefully.
Then you'll see that your ay-ay-ay has now turned into an affirmative
aye, aye, Captain! That doesn't mean you'll completely duty free, but
it should ease the crunch and provide a little lifeline from the Scovel
Shinn school of smooth sailing!
