Open Heart Surgery
Over the last eight weeks I've been in recovery from a kind of open-heart surgery. Not physical. I haven't been to the cardiologist. It's been more emotional and spiritual—where The Divine has been my highly gifted surgeon.
These weeks have been some of the most intense of my life. It's almost as if when our dog, Lucky passed away after 16 amazing years, he opened a portal to a next level consciousness of Love and Freedom like I've never experienced before.
I can say that now because I've crossed into the other side. The first six+ weeks felt nothing like love or freedom. In fact, they felt like death. And, in a way, they were.
In order to move through the portal I had to let go of almost everything I believed to be true about myself. I let go of friendships, clients, money, resentments, the need to be liked, seeing myself as good and talented, attachments to control, doing, urgency, blame, right/wrong thinking, and so much more.
It's been painful… humbling… vulnerable… and the most liberating experience of my life! I would not change one ounce of the entire journey.
GOING BLIND
Grieving Lucky showed me things I was blind to about myself—how closed-minded and closed-hearted I had become. And, I had no idea. I couldn't see it.
I'm not judging myself. This is part of the dance of being human. We're unaware, until we aren't. I was where I was, doing the best that I could and that's beautiful. Just as beautiful as where I find myself now.
I have come home. I've found a place of safety, love, and peace that isn't dependent on anything outside of me and can never be taken from me. The wildest part is that I'm residing at this level of consciousness most of the time. And, when I'm not, when I become aware that I've closed my heart, I easily tend to it.
I meet my vulnerability with love.
That statement right there. It. Is. Everything. It's the key to True Prosperity.
INNER FREEDOM HANDOUT
A month ago I wrote about the importance of feeling our feelings. What I didn't realize then, that I see so clearly now, is how I wasn't allowing all of my feelings to come to the “party.”
I easily welcomed anger, blame, and righteousness. Sadness, fear, and hurt…not so much. They didn't make the invite list. In fact, I would've told you they didn't exist because I was so used to repressing them.
That has been the biggest revelation and healing on this journey. I have deep sadness, fear, and hurt, and that's ok. The anger was protecting them.
What I've learned is that I can be with those feelings and survive the pain of them. They merely represent a misunderstanding I'm believing inside. They are messengers of freedom. I know that now—and I'm so grateful.
(By the way, truly feeling a feeling only takes 90-seconds. I share more about that in the handout below.)
I created a handout on experiencing Inner Freedom as part of my Summer Camp for Coaches program. We're embarking on a 40-Day Prosperity Game where the focus is on rewiring money beliefs and expanding our understanding and experience of True Prosperity.
This handout is foundational for humans and far beyond the focused subject matter. It speaks to principles and practices of healing and inner liberation.
I share this because I'm including the handout for you below. If you choose to download it though, please don't just read it. Be slowed down, present, and open as you do. Take Ted Lasso's lead and “be curious, not judgmental.”
Five months ago had I received this handout, I would've been closed-minded. I would've thought, “I know this already. I do this already.” And how naive I was then.
Yes, I understood the principles, but I wasn't living them as fully as I could. I'll probably write that again a few years from now about where I am today. Because that's how evolution works!
All to say, wherever you are is perfect for you. And, if you're open, this handout can change your life. It's changed mine.
If you have any questions about it or anything I've shared, feel free to reply and let me know.
I'm recalibrating at present. My sense is new, alive teachings and offerings are on the way! The first inspired one is below.
With loving,
Amber
No dance experience necessary for this event.
This style of dance is about slowing down, attuning to your body, awakening your senses, getting super present and following your body's impulses to move. You'll get out of your head, into your heart and experience the magic of your body.
This is about building the communication freeway between your mind and form to create greater trust in your life. You'll connect to what your body most needs and honor that. For example: You could lay on the floor the entire session in your own embrace. That could be profound, if that is the healing your body needed.
We will open ourselves to the richness—the pleasure, discoveries, insights and more—that are only found in the deep present.
