I had just finished making a list of the tasks my VA performed for me over a recent 30 day period and it occurred to me to do the same with the work I do with my clients. This list may give you a better idea as to whether coaching is for you at this time.

ISSUES I HAVE COACHED CLIENTS ON IN THE PAST 30 DAYS:

1. Maintaining honesty with a partner
2. Claiming the right to pursue personal goals
3. Bringing personal power and consciousness into a management position at work
4. Uncovering the link between the painful present situation and the story from her past
5. Challenging whether a relationship has what it takes to be the primary one in her life
6. Face how much her ego judges and causes irritation and unhappiness
7. Parenting a 3 year old as a human mom who is neither perfect nor saintly
8. Supporting the spiritual practice she is building for herself
9. Crafting a leverage speech that reflects the nature of her work

13. Releasing the connection to poverty-consciousness that comes with identifying strongly with her mother’s story.
14. Embracing the possibility that a family member’s soul chose certain difficult circumstances in order to grow and evolve in this life
15. Shining the light on an ongoing pattern and habits that no longer serve and asking what it will cost to keep them vs let them go.
16. Tuning into her own psychic, intuitive abilities and deepening the trust in herself.
17. Illuminating for her that coaching with me is not appropriate for her right now.
18. Encouraging him to find the tribe for his music and make sense out of the freak accident he survived during childhood
19. Shifting the thoughts around a blocking issue
20. Dealing with the overwhelm that got her sick and vulnerable
21. Moving toward a new form of ministry and counseling for her tribe.
22. Validating the healing from the difficult life path he has been on which positions him to help a certain group of people
23. Stressing the importance of grounding and centering on a spiritual path
24. Inviting the combination of psychic gifts and artistic talent.

As we approach the 11:11 energetic passage, one thing has become perfectly clear: so much of the old has fallen away that you may not even know where you’re standing or where you’re going.

Now this is nothing to panic about, change is always inevitable, but sometimes change is more dramatic than at other times and this seems to be one of those times.

 Especially for Lightworkers, healers, spiritual entrepreneurs, a lot of the old that’s fallen away has to do with your work. And that has the potential to be confusing, create stuckness and frustration– most especially if you are in resistance to change. And honestly being in resistance to change is pretty easy to do these days! I mean you’ve been going along doing a particular kind of work for maybe a long time, and then suddenly it’s like you fell off the edge of the earth. The old work you were doing isn’t working anymore. It kind of feels like an engine that you can’t get started again. No matter how hard you try.

Here’s the thing, the new energy has actually already shifted and believe it or not, you have shifted along with it. It’s just that your external level of awareness hasn’t caught up with that shift yet.

 It’s really important for you to create spaciousness, quiet and time to settle into listening and observing for what may be next. And it’s entirely possible that you may need someone to help you shine the light to be able to discern what in fact is next. I know that was extremely helpful for me in the dramatic shift in my work recently.

 Another thing you can be absolutely certain of: energy has shifted and it’s moving very fast. And so this is the perfect time to do the work of dissolving shadow aspects, old limiting stories, chronic energy blocks that get in the way of that energy flow. Otherwise it’s as though you’ve built a dam and are trying to hold back all the energy in the universe– that’s only going to create suffering, more frustration, and feelings of inadequacy. Too much energy flowing too fast can be unbalancing and create anxiety, too little energy getting through will result in feeling of stuckness and even, confusion.

 So be sure that you get the support you need to work on identifying and releasing whatever you’re holding that’s blocking the flow of the energy that you’re already aligned with. Or what you might do to slow things down so that you can get your spiritual bearings and take some time to step back for a renewed perspective on things.

 Here’s the thing, Spirit is calling you to do something new– that something may be in your personal life, or in your professional life. Allow yourself to become aware of nudgings and inklings that are like pinpricks of light coming through from the next dimension. And by the way, I do realize that some of you are way beyond nudgings and inklings — in fact you feel like you’ve been hit over the head with a cosmic sledgehammer– that’s how extreme conditions have become for you.

 So whether the messages are whispers or shouts from Spirit, they will give you a starting point.  The tricky thing is that you can’t really left-brain/apply logic to this process. It’s purely intuitive– even if, and especially if, at times it seems totally counter-intuitive to follow the whispers or shouts.

 Remember, the energies are moving super fast right now and it’s certainly preferable for you to be able to walk confidently along the path to your new destination rather than being carried chaotically on a tidal wave.

 The work I’m doing these days is about helping spiritually conscious people to be grounded, centered, and more aware of their true vibrational alignment. Relationships, career direction, finances, health issues, geographical location, the list goes on of the areas of your life that can be affected by these energies of deep change and transformation.

 The wonderful thing is that once some light is shined and you hear the ring of truth about the new vibrational alignment, things click into place very quickly. Once the energy begins to flow, people, opportunities, circumstances, conditions, and yes, even miracles begin to show up in your life. And your new personal or professional calling unfolds before your eyes. It’s quite stunning and magical, really.

 So if you’re feeling a bit lost about what your calling or your life path is at this point in time, it’s very possible that you would benefit from my support in navigating through these transitional times.  If you are clear about what area of your life needs attention, awareness and adjusting I’ve created two programs you will be interested in.

 The Soul to Soul Marketing Mastery Program is the one for you if you are a coach, healer, spiritual-preneur who’s been struggling and you know that your ‘cheese’ has been moved, and you’d like to find it and start attracting clients and money and prospering again! Click this link to read my letter and get enrollment details.

 The Everyday Joy Life Mastery Program is for you if you are a woman on a spiritual path who is struggling and suffering in one or more areas of your life and you know that with the right wisdom, support and tools, you could transition into more Joy, Peace and genuine Happiness in your life. Click this link to read my letter to you and get enrollment information.

 And whether or not group coaching is for you, contact me to discuss the spiritual coaching options I have available for you and we’ll see if we are a good match.

 Bottom line is to do whatever you must do to make a conscious choice to move into the new world more gracefully, more easily, and more consciously,

 Sending you Light, Love and all the JOY your heart can hold!

Emotionally Struggling Teens—How To Make A Difference

 When I heard the news about the suicide of an eighteen year old friend of my young nieces and nephew, it hit me hard. He was a college freshman, had begun to feel depressed while away at school, and now….he’s gone. Irretrievably gone.

 This is so heartbreaking. I didn’t know this young man, nor his family. But I am praying for them and sending them light and comfort. My hope is that the closeness and love of family and friends will get them through this tragic and inexpressibly difficult time. I don’t know how they will cope with this loss. I’ve never been through what they are experiencing.

 What I have experienced is the fear that my son might harm himself. The thought of that time several years ago can evoke a feeling of dread in my belly even now. It was by far the scariest time I have ever been through in my life. Fearing for my son’s safety, trying everything we knew to do, and still not being able to save him from his own pain was horrifying.

 Looking back with the perspective of time and distance, I realize that the gift that my son’s soul gave to him and to us, was the push to act out inappropriately in the extreme. Depression in young people can take a couple of paths that look very different. Some depressed teenagers pull into themselves, and as my husband remarked, are very good at hiding the depth of their pain, they can fake looking good. Others take a different route with the anger that overlays the depression, and behave in offensive, aggressive ways that push people away.

 If you notice, both of these paths have the net effect of cutting themselves off from others. And that’s the danger of teenage depression– that the mask is so effective, you just don’t realize the depth of the trouble the young person is in, or the acting out is so extreme, as in my son’s case, that you write it off as characterological in nature, just a kid gone bad.

 We have to educate ourselves to recognize the differences in behavior, demeanor, emotional expression, performance in school, changes in relationships, and the changes in ourselves in response to the young person’s distress. You can’t fix, and you sure can’t help what you don’t recognize.

 My son’s acting out was extreme enough that it got our attention in an absolutely undeniable way so we were able to make the decision to get him serious and effective treatment. Was that an easy decision? Not at all. To acknowledge the depth of his pain was difficult enough, but to take the steps to getting the right kind of help required us to step out of everything we thought we knew about family and love and healing, and choose to place him where he was going to be safe and was going to be helped.

 And he was helped. And he did heal. And so did we heal as a family. Miraculously so.

 Sometimes it can feel difficult to face the pain of another, particularly the pain of a young person, who in our eyes has “everything to live for”. Their pain-even our unconscious awareness of it if they are hiding it well—can trigger our own deep feelings of vulnerability and fear; or if they are acting out in angry ways, it can trigger our judgment and our desire to create distance.

 We still don’t look at emotional struggles as a process of dysfunction, just the same as the physical processes of dysfunction which we call disease, like cancer, diabetes, or even severe injuries sustained in accidents of one kind or another, But to quote a Website on Teen Depression, “Depression is not just a bad mood or a phase; it is a serious medical condition.”. Most of us have our own deep fears about these kinds of emotional struggles and the mental illness they may point to, and really don’t even know what to do to help.

 Consequently these young people who are in emotional pain, many of them Indigo kids (another story, one you can Google), can feel lost, alone, shunned, and just plain unworthy on top of their already wounded emotional state.

 One thing that you can do to make a difference is to get comfortable reaching out to people, to young people who seem to be struggling. Even if you’re wrong about their struggle, everyone appreciates acknowledgment and attention. Everyone needs to know that he or she is loved and valued no matter what. Everyone longs to hear that they are a good person.

 I have no idea of the story behind this particular young man’s taking of his life. I have no judgment about anyone in his life or what they did or didn’t do. And I don’t even question the plan of his soul because I don’t know what it is–many things remain a mystery. I just know that it breaks my heart.

 So if together, we can become informed enough to make a shift in awareness, and make a shift in commitment, and make a shift in our outward behavior in terms of connecting with people in pain, then we can make a real difference. It might even end up being one of those situations where you make a difference but you never actually know that you made a difference. Because a word from you, a smile the right time, affirming of the goodness of a young person, biting your tongue to quiet criticism, a sincere “How are you doing, really?” could possibly change the trajectory of that young life.

 And that is something, that on the level of our collective consciousness, would mend a lot of broken hearts and quite possibly save lives.

 I’m no expert, I’m just a mom who’s been through a painful, scary time with her kid and would love to see other kids who are suffering get the help they need.

Love,

Jan Masters

PS If you’d like to make a donation to The R.O.C.K. Fund (Recovering Our Cherished Kids) that would be very helpful. I established this fund a couple of years ago to raise awareness around this issue and benefit programs that support emotionally struggling teens/Indigo kids and their families. Every penny you donate goes straight to the kind of program that helped my son and our family. The R.O.C.K. Fund Scroll down to the bottom of the page for the Donate button.

It’s true! If you’re waiting for an outer paradigm shift, give it up. You have already shifted inside yourself. You may need help clarifying what exactly you have shifted into, but you HAVE shifted.

Your mind and your heart are aligned with something new. Maybe you know what that is, maybe you don’t…yet. So if your life or your business feel kind of stalled out, or stagnant, or slumping, perhaps it’s that you haven’t yet caught up with your new vibration.

It can help to have another set of eyes and another heart to read the energy of where you are now.
You are so up close to it that it’s possible that you are having a tricky time seeing the broader picture.

I work very intuitively, as my clients know. so helping you to become aware of where you are standing now, where you are positioned now, is something I can offer you.

When you listen for the possibilities around your new alignment, YOU will recognize the ring of truth. You MUST always be your own ultimate  ‘expert’, your own powerful ‘guru’. My job is to hold the lantern and tell you what I perceive and make suggestions about what to do now to reach your goals, to manifest what you desire.

You decide what resonates and then together we figure out what that means in terms of your spiritual business and the evolution of your soul… and the catching up your personality always has to do when your inner being has re-aligned itself with something new.

If you sense that you have made a paradigm shift but lack clarity about it, ask your Inner Guidance, ask your guides and teachers, and hire a coach or mentor whose energy is a match for yours….you know who that is, trust your instincts. It might be me, it might not…but by all means allow yourself to gravitate toward someone whom you a) like,  b) trust, c) who gets outcomes/results for their clients that reflect your own goals.

To Your Life And Business Success!

Be the Source!

 What is it you really want in your life? If you don’t yet have it the very best way to invite it is to Be the Source of it in the life of another, or many others.

 When you release the demand for what it is you want to Be, Do, Have and find creative ways to bring it to others, the Universe responds to your vibrational alignment and brings it into your manifested reality much more quickly.

Quantum Physics tells us that everything exists as either wave energy or particle energy. Wave energy is energy that holds something in potential, and particle energy is energy that has manifested into physical reality.

 So when you are wanting something–which means it exists as wave energy and hasn’t yet manifested as particle energy into your life yet–if you decide to Be the Source of it for someone, else here’s how that works:

 Your intention and your desire for whatever it is that you want is wave energy. When you intend to help someone by Being the Source for them, you send that wave energy in their direction, and that wave energy along with your intention and your actual support of that person, allows them to manifest that energy into particle form. Manifest into what it is that they want.

 This means that what they want, with your help, manifests into their lives. Does that make sense?

 I have known several people, among them popular coach Robert Evans, who take this business of Being the Source very seriously. This is one of the principles of Robert teaches everyone he coaches. He said it changed his life.

 I take this seriously too. There have been several points along the way during my career as a psychotherapist and spiritual coach that people have come to me to heal issues which I myself was in the process of healing. The work that I did with them was so pure and my intention for their healing was so clear, that healing could not help but come to me as well.

 And I always knew deep inside that this was Spirit’s way of giving me an opportunity to experience the circular nature of healing. I always knew that it was never about just the client, and it never was about just me– it was about the energetic dance the two of did that resulted in mutual healing. Is there a more beautiful thing than this?

 When you take your attention off of yourself and what you want, and put it onto the well-being and healing and happier life experience of another, magical things happen. The truth about us human beings is that we are hardwired to serve one another. That truly is where our deepest joy and greatest satisfaction comes from. The paradoxical nature of this is that when you take your attention off of yourself and your problems and trying to get what you think you lack, and put it on helping someone else to improve and heal his or her life, your life improves almost instantly. Be the Source and see what happens.

 So if you have been working on an area of your life where it seems that you really just are not getting what it is you want, trying Being the Source of that very thing for another.

 Take a moment right now and think of something you can Be the Source of for someone. And then go do it. I’d love to hear your ‘Be the Source’ stories!!

 More on this soon……

 enJOY!!

I got this from my Facebook Friend, Tom Murasso today. It’s a quote  from Abraham and it very clearly expresses what I have been teaching my clients for decades.

“Most of you have been hard on yourselves for a long time.

It doesn’t matter who the object of your attention is when you are loving.

When you love, you are in the vortex.

So find a child and love them, and in the vortex you’ll go.
Find a dog and love him, and into the vortex you’ll go.
Find a flower and appreciate it, and into the vortex you’ll go.

And once you have shown yourself what a lover you can be,
then you can begin turning that lens of love toward yourself.”

Asheville 5/29/09

Very often you will hear someone say ‘Well, you can’t love anyone else until you love yourself.” I never got that because for me loving others has always felt like a very powerful way to open the door of the human heart to Love, period. And that’s what Abe is saying here.

I have used the very same languaging to teach my clients to become aware of the love and caring and compassion they have for others and then ‘turn it around and point it at yourself.” I tell them, “You know how to do this so very well, this business of loving and taking care of. Now it’s time for you to decide that you deserve that very same thing too and flow that love and caring to yourself.”

Having that model for loving right there within you makes it much easier to send that loving energy to your own self, your own heart, your own wounded places, your own struggles.

And Love is the energy on which all of your Joy and Success comes streaming into your life.

So just as in blaming others, in loving others, one finger is pointed at them…and three more are pointed back at YOU. Let the self-love flow…your heart is open and waiting for it!

I Love You!!

A lesson in patience and the path of ease.

 My laptop’s motherboard got fried on Friday. The tech is on his way now. Monday at almost 7 pm. Yes I do love the home service and….it’s been a long wait without my ‘puter.

I’ve been on my husband’s PC but you know it’s not the same! Here’s the thing, once you get how to prioritize bumps in the road, you know to slow down, or go around them. It’s no big deal. I mean, no one’s sick or dead, right? So no big deal.

 Time was, when it would have been a big deal. Would have gotten my knickers in a twist and given me a reason to be irritated, angry, blaming, judging. But I notice that I’m peaceful and calm and yes, we did call Dell a few times to nudge them, but no angst.

It’s important to turn around and look at where you came from and measure progress, growth, evolution. And give yourself an ‘attagirl’ or ‘attaboy’. It’s important to acknowledge how far you have come from that old you. Because sometimes, often, for the ego, enough is not enough. The ego can plague us with ‘not enough’ of so many things, emotional and spiritual progress being some of them.

 So I am pleased, grateful, appreciative for the peace of mind, heart, and belly I have experienced through this minor challenge.

 How about you? Navigating well through things these days? Or need some support letting go of the old patterns and habits that keep you suffering?

 I’d love to support you to live in the ‘attagirl’, ‘attaboy’ energy of appreciating yourself, even as you reach for more progress and more healed.

Contact me if I can help.
