Let Go and Become All You Might Be!

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” Lao-Tzu
“When I let go of what I am”…..not an easy step for most of us to take is it? In order to let go, first we have to have a relationship with ourselves. Does our belief in who we are rely on our name, where we live, our job title or what others think of us? If so, what happens to us when these things are taken away from us or truths are uncovered that we would rather have been kept secret? In order to really discover our true identity we need to go within on a very personal journey of self discovery. This is a trip we need to do alone for only we hold the key to unlock our purpose and we alone make the choices along our path. Too often we hide behind the fear of change forgetting that it was through our inquisitive nature as a child that we learned new things. Had we not followed our inner voice of pure innocence, curiosity and longing to learn we would not be where and who we are today. When we were children, we had not yet taken on the burdens of preconceived ideas, fears and limitations. We knew only that we were here to learn, grow and to expand our awareness of all things. Being one with the Universe, we were and still are filled with endless potentiality. The limits we have in our lives are ones we have placed upon ourselves.
When we refuse to move ahead in our life, whether it is taking a different job, meeting new people, reading a different book, learning anything new so that we can expand our mind and spirit, we lock ourselves in the past. To continually repeat things we know is to stay in the past. After all, that is what knowing is…. things you have already learned. Why do we choose to stop learning and trying new things? Have we decided that this is it for us, there is no more that we need to do or can do in this lifetime? Do we hold fast to the false hope that things will change yet take no action to make it happen? Clinging to the fears from yesterday and refusing to venture into unknown territory only robs us of any joy we could be experiencing today.
Letting go of the past is a huge step forward but we are not through yet. Holding onto yesterday often goes hand in hand with worrying about the future as we huddle where we “know” what will happen next. This worry will stifle our desires and growth from manifesting in our lives. Precious “now” time is spent worrying about things we have no control over. Is this negative energy what we want to manifest in our future? Remember we become what we think! Allowing negative energies today to be part of our being will develop into the worry of the future and once there, not having lived our dreams will become the regrets and remorse of yesterday.
Each of us has the power within ourselves to call upon the Universe and the Divine to create a life of learning, growing and contentment through the expansion of self-love. We need to spend time with ourselves and recover that innocence we once had for life and self. By believing that we can manifest whatever it is we desire in our lives, with the intent for the higher good, we put forth positive energy and love to the world as well. There are no limits to what we can achieve if only we take that first step and believe. How else will we ever know what we could be?
Do you want to be at the end of your life wondering, “what if, should have, could have, why didn’t I”? The one thing worse than failure is never having tried and being filled with regrets. Life is full of lessons just waiting for us to experience. The sooner we realize we have the control within ourselves to break the chains of the past we open the doorway to endless possibilites. The only limits we have in this life are the ones we put upon ourselves. We need to take this precious moment, this time of “now” and live it to its fullest potential. By taking the following steps, we can be well on our way to becoming all we might be!
- Upon rising each day and before going to sleep each night give thanks for your many blessings.
- Take time to meditate if only for ten minutes twice a day (thirty minutes is better). This takes you inward to discover who you really are, your desires and your purpose. You feel calmer and connected to the Divine.
- Think about what really makes you happy, what you enjoy doing then bring that into your life. By bringing joy into your life you will find happiness and through happiness success. This positive energy will attract more of the same into your life.
- Watch those thoughts! Are you always putting a negative spin on things? Rethink in a positive way otherwise you will attract more negativity to you.
- Be aware of the magnificence of Mother Earth. Take time each day to be in nature and truly breathe in its beauty and feel your connection to its energy.
- Know that you are endless potentiality. What is it you desire? Put it out there through your meditations, vision boards, write it in your journal then be prepared for the Universe to provide – not always the way you expect though!
- Let go of grievances, remorse, regrets, anger and hate. There is no room for both sorrow and joy in your heart. These things are past, learn from them and move on. It is not always easy but the benefits are life changing.
- Do not worry about the future. Put your desires out to the Universe with the faith that it will sort out the details for you. Watch for the signs and opportunities when they arise, accept the challenge when it comes and give thanks when things are manifested in your life.

These are things which have brought me to where I am today - practicing Hypnotherapy and Reiki from my Marmora office, providing private and group sessions and workshops along with weekly meditation classes.
Life is a learning field for all of us and we are all on a journey. Through out the trip we cross each other’s path for a reason. I am grateful for all my life’s experiences as I feel it has taught me to become who I am today and I know, the trip is far from over!
Dude, Where’s My Car
February 18, 2010 by Chris Oldcorn
Filed under Growth, • Feature
“Dude, Where’s My Car” was an Ashton Kutcher movie about two guys who lose their car after a night of hard partying. I know that I am the guy who tells you to go try stuff to make your life better however I am not suggesting you try to emulate this movie. This is not one of those situations but does provide a funny opening. Here are some of the beginning lines from the movie (not Oscar material):
“Dude, where’s my car?”
“I don’t know, dude?”
“Ok, let’s think. It was here.”
“Dude, your right. But, where is it now?”
“I don’t know? Dude”
Ok, so I think you get the gist of the movie not exactly Shakespearean dialogue. It would never be an Oscar contender but does provide a good 90 minutes of laughs at two of the dumbest people ever conceived in movie history.
Now, to the point of this column. My school has been under construction with several new buildings that took over two parking lots. The school did not create any new parking spaces elsewhere on campus to make up for the lack of parking. This has created parking chaos. People are actually parking on the grass and getting ticketed by the school for doing so even though there is nowhere to put their cars.
Originally, my attitude was that I would drive around forever looking for a parking spot. My reality was my attitude. I was one of the lucky ones to get parked on the grass and ticketed (I went in to the parking office and got them to rip up the ticket as I have a prepaid parking pass which is supposed to guarantee me a spot). After weeks of complaining and being bitter about parking, it was beginning to make me resent school and anything to do with it due to all of my difficulties with parking. I have to drive to school because I don’t live near a bus route.
I decided to take my own advice. I woke up and said, “Someone is holding my parking spot until I get there.” Sure enough, I went to school and someone backed out of a spot near the door and I pulled right in.
Day One = Success
Since that change in my mindset, I have parked so close everyday that my friends are starting to notice and think I am “lucky.” I don’t think it is “luck” and more of my mindset towards the parking issue. Luck favours the prepared mind. My mind is prepared to be programmed for the life that I want including good parking spots.
Each morning, we get up and have a choice. Do we view the world as ready to help us or hurts us? If we expect it to hurt us, we see every situation as negative. Whether, it is the coffee barista making our latte wrong or being passed over for a promotion at work. If we expect the world to help us, we see the positive in each situation we encounter throughout the day. For example, last week when I arrived at school a guy pointed to where he was parked so I could have his spot. That is a helping world.
So, here is the million dollar question: Do you live in a helping world or a hurting world? The answer to this question affects how your life will proceed from here. The choice is yours.

Balancing Business and Spirit
February 4, 2010 by darcelle
Filed under Business, • Headline
The start of a new year can mean a fresh start and an opportunity to set new goals and priorities. So how can we prioritize and be productive at the same time? By spending time on what matters to you the most and recognizing that it is ok to have some downtime in your life.
One of the most common time wasters is procrastination. We are all guilty of doing it and what it creates is negative vibration which surrounds us until we complete the task. We postpone work, leave the call for another day, or reschedule appointments. What is it we are afraid of? Perhaps work, success, failure or all of the above?
Well the largest time waster can be from lack of focus. I have to say my partner is exceptional with his ability to focus, which is what I value and love about him. So how about the rest of us? Once we have structured our goals for the year, what will keep us on track to keeping those commitments we have made to ourselves. The most successful people keep their focus on their passion and what they want to achieve and do not sway from that. They do what it takes to commit and have created a plan for their day.
Planning is vital in eliminating time-wasting and procrastination. It helps you to accomplish what you set out to do and gives you guidance along the way. So create a plan and then apply action steps towards its achievement. It does not have to happen overnight however if you have a laid out guidance system for what it is you want to achieve in your work day you are more likely to be able to accomplish more than you would have if you did not write it down, or decided it was ok to leave it in your head. Writing it on paper the night before or first thing in the morning leaves your mind clear and gives you the energy and direction you need when you begin your task.
Making sure you understand what your own sabotaging behaviours are will also help you to keep focused and on track. The following list is things you can do to ensure you are taking positive action towards achieving your desired results.
- Focus on your priorities before you start your day.
- Tackle the hardest things first.
- Not answering the phone in the morning or letting people into your office until your difficult tasks are complete.
- Have clear objectives to what you want to achieve.
- Start early in the day.
- Focus on the most productive tasks.
- Make phone calls short and sweet.
- Clearly define your desired results.
- Accept personal responsibility in your life.
- Love yourself and don’t take life so seriously.
- Love life and have confidence.
- Keep on track to what it is you want.
- Don’t give up. Never. If it is your passion. Never give up.
- Keep distractions in check.
- Stay motivated by taking time for balance.
Honoring your spirit and taking time for yourself are true keys to more focused business and life. It is ok to ask for help in trying to achieve your goals. Have a mentor or a focus buddy that will assist in keeping you accountable and on track. Create more balance by nurturing your spirit and taking the downtime necessary for each day.
By spending time each evening to review your day and staying accountable to your results, enables you to see the wonderful accomplishments that have been made for that day. In the end, when you celebrate each tiny step forward toward your goal, you celebrate yourself.

Peace is Within
Nothing on the outside can affect your peace. This is a statement that had a profound affect on my life and it could have that same affect with you. It is something that you need to experience for yourself though. I know that I did.
Personally, I read a very simple book that shared this sentiment with me. It stated that no matter what someone said to me, no matter what someone did, no matter what happened on the outside – it did not have to affect my peace. This was a big statement for me to hear since at the time I was experiencing the opposite. I thought that everything was happening to me. I felt that I had no control over my own experience. And worst of all, I had lost the hope that there was more in life.
I read the entire book in one night. As I read this book, something clicked in me. Some major perspective shifted and for the next two months I experienced this principle fully. All of the situations at work that used to stress me out disappeared. In each moment I was simply aware that they could not affect my peace. I was able to deal with any of the “problems” that occurred by simply doing whatever felt right to do or was necessary at the time. There were meetings that I was a part of in which people were upset and sometimes even yelling. I remember simply observing this behaviour and observing any reaction within myself. Some part of me knew that everything was okay and none of it disturbed my peace. I was blissed out!
This was a beautiful experience that I had, especially since it followed over 10 years of depression. Interestingly enough, this perspective did not last and I lost the experience. I re-read the book over and over but I couldn’t quite experience it again. And that was the beginning of my spiritual journey. At that point, I knew that it was possible to experience eternal peace. If it happened to me, I knew that it was possible for anyone, including you! Reading books never brought me back to this experience although they did help. What most of the spiritual books did teach me is that meditation is a tool to experience peace within.
The beautiful thing with meditation is that it is not about reading about other people’s experiences. It is not about trying to figure something out. It is simply about experiencing life fully right now, experiencing the peace and silence within. All of the peace, joy and happiness that you’ve ever been searching for are already within you. None of it is found on the outside. Meditation can be a simple, effortless way to experience the saying “nothing on the outside can affect my peace.”
Love,

Good Opinion of Yourself
January 20, 2010 by Chris Oldcorn
Filed under Growth, • Feature
“Be a friend to thyself, and others will be so too”
Thomas Fuller
Everyday, we come across people who are miserable and negative about themselves. We think about how much of a downer it is to be around them whether they are co-workers, classmates, friends, or family. Sometimes, I feel like telling people to just snap out of it and look at all the positives in their life. They have a job, friends, family, and nice possessions. I live in North America so the poorest people in my country are staggeringly rich in other countries. However, do we ever stop and ask ourselves if we are one of these people? We acknowledge everything wrong but don’t see their blessings all around us.
Most people don’t realize how negative they are everyday. How do we recognize if we are one of the negatives? Our thought lives and body language. If we think defeating thoughts then we act defeated. If we carry ourselves defeated then we act defeated. The key issue here is acknowledging that we suffer from defeatism and need to move toward positivism. Most people are too hard on themselves. One small mistake and they ruin the rest of their day if not week or longer. No one expects you to be perfect so don’t be a perfectionist. Only seeing what you do wrong and not what you do right is a horrible way to live. It is hell on earth. Spending your time on thinking about how too fat, too tall, or not smart enough is a waste of time. You need to love yourself before you can love someone else. This was probably the hardest lesson I have learned in my life. Without self-acceptance, there is no opportunity to accept someone else.
The opinion that you have of yourself is the most determinant factor of how others perceive you. If you constantly send out unworthy messages, you will receive unworthy responses. You will miss great relationships because they can never really become great without you having a great relationship with yourself. If you cannot have a great relationship with yourself, you do not truly understand how to have a great relationship with others. Being your own best friend is the key to being a best friend to others. If you honour and favour yourself, you can do the same to other people. Compliment yourself just as you would complement those around you.
What really matters? How you feel on the inside is more important than what you look like on the outside. Hold your head up high and shake off your failures. Start your day thinking about your successes and not your failures. Think to yourself, “So far, so good.” Find the good that you do. Say to yourself, “I am strong, healthy, and victorious! There is nothing I cannot accomplish if I put my mind towards it.” Dwell on your good qualities and not your bad. You are empowered and have all the talents necessary to fulfill your destiny.
“Before a person can achieve the kind of life he wants, he must think, act, walk, talk and conduct himself in all of his affairs as would the person he wishes to become”
Zig Ziglar
Action Exercise:
Don’t say anything negative about yourself for a day. You will see how much better you will feel about yourself. When you are at a mirror say, “I am awesome and I will let others know by how I act today.”

Believe to Receive
January 6, 2010 by Chris Oldcorn

“You must believe before you can receive” Chris Oldcorn
Each of us has a special power inside that is waiting to be let out. It is creative, empowering, and filled with unlimited potential. Changing the way you think about your situations, talents, abilities, and relationships is just the beginning of your best year yet! The source that we all originate from has empowered you with unlimited ability to live a greater life than those who came before you.
A great example of this power is from the biblical story of Abraham and Sarah. Abraham came home one day and told Sarah that they were going to have a baby. Both of them were past their prime baby years. They were approximately one hundred years old and this was before any medical technology that could assist them in getting Sarah pregnant. They had to do it the natural way. Sarah did not believe she could become pregnant so she sends Abraham to sleep with one of their maids and have a baby. They raised that child for twenty years while Abraham kept trying to make Sarah believe she could have a child. Eventually, Sarah began to believe that it was possible at the ripe young age of one hundred and twenty to have her first child.
Maybe you have spent your whole life being told that you would never amount to anything, you are as dumb as a rock, or no one will want to marry you because you are ugly. People around you have made you buy into a negative self-image. Today is the day that you will walk away from that negative self-image and believe that you are special. Throw away the coat of negativity and step into your new future filled with unlimited potential.
Your New Year’s resolution should be to perform at a higher level in every area of your life. Change your thinking and hope for a better future in the coming year. No one will believe in you until you believe in yourself. It is not being conceited but having a positive self-image and a healthy feeling of self-worth. You get what you expect whether you like it or not. You cannot receive if you do not believe.
This is the year you become financially secure. The love of your life will cross paths with you. The unlimited potential will rise up and match you with the career you have been waiting for your whole life.

Wish Fulfillment
December 16, 2009 by Chris Oldcorn
Filed under Growth, • Feature
“I wish………………”
How many times a day do we wish for something to be different in our lives? Ten times? Twenty times? Even more? We want better relationships with our partners, family, and friends. Maybe we wish for more of them or less. Friends are god’s way of apologizing for our families.
We live in a society that is obsessed with numbers. I have over 1200 people following me on Twitter and about 1400 friends on Facebook. I don’t know most of these people but they read my columns, blog posts, and other media. They feel a stronger connection if they can digitally connect. I am starting to see what it is like to be in the public eye. I could wish for more privacy but I don’t. The way to help as many people as possible is to be connected to them through various social networking sites.
Wishing is a healthy action. Wishing doesn’t mean that our present life is unacceptable but wishing is adding something to our life that would increase our joy and satisfaction. It requires not only a new thought but also a new attitude.
First, you must think that you are worthy of something added to your life. You cannot attract something if your attraction is turned off. So get turned on!
Second, you have to mentally picture what you want in your life.
Thrid, go and find what you want. Touch it, hold it, and sit in it if you can. You need to have the object in front of you. If it is a situation and not an object, feel how you would feel in that situation. If you want to be loved, you must love yourself first before others can love you.
Finally, always be grateful for what comes your way.
Action Exercise:
Pick an object or situation. Something simple to start. Maybe a good parking spot or green lights all the way to work tomorrow. Once you can see how this works with basic stuff. You can WISH BIGGER. Think of it this way, you have to go on a first date before you get married.
I WISH YOU THE BEST (now you have a head start)!!!

Keeping Life Simple – Living life in love
We’re all on a journey together in this lifetime to discover who we are. We can choose to let go of the clutter that clouds our minds and focus our attention on always acting or reacting from a place of love. Love of oneself, love of one another or love of the situation our lives may be in at any given moment.
When we live our lives authentically and from a place of love we may find that life does indeed become simpler. Where there is love there is freedom, because nothing is excluded, all situations and all beings are welcome.
Sometimes throughout the day we can all encounter someone who is not having a good day and they may choose to project their feelings towards you. And, it’s not about us needing to know why that person is speaking or acting towards us in such a manner, what is more important though, is how we choose to engage in the situation.
We all have our trigger points and if we stop and bring awareness to who we are and how we are feeling when these trigger points arise it’s an amazing opportunity, or it’s a gift, really, for us to meet the experience at a deeper level and inquire what has been triggered, how it is serving us and what is wanting to be discovered.
Make a point of paying attention next time you’re in such a circumstance and choose to keep your heart open and respond from a place of love, instead of reacting in the way you might usually do. See for yourself what happens. When you remain in a state of awareness and let love be the guide, it’s difficult for the ego to survive in that.
Give yourself a challenge over the next month to move from a place of love no matter what. We are all on this life journey together and as Gangaji says ‘mwe are one heart lighting candles all over the world’. Start lighting the candles in the places where you live and please post your experience here for others to witness.
Honour your spirit and walk towards the journey your heart desires.
Always in love,
Lorraine

So, What IS Feng Shui For Your Spirit?
I knew when I started my practise a few years back that most people had only a vague idea of what Feng Shui is all about, but it wasn’t until my teenage nephew totally cracked me up by asking his mom if she was using “Aunt Mary’s Hippie Magic again!” that I realized just how shrouded in superstition Feng Shui really is.
Well, there’s truly nothing magical about it! In very simple terms: Feng Shui is an ancient science based on the movement of energy. It has roots in China dating back about 5,000 years, as well as in other cultures worldwide that have also been studying the art of balancing and harmonizing energy flow. Additionally, modern science has proved that everything from rocks to animals, to our human bodies and Spirits is made up of energy and that all things vibrate in sync with the universal energy that surrounds them. (Check out the film or book What the Bleep do we Know?)
The purpose of contemporary Feng Shui is to find the best environmental arrangement for people to live and work up to their fullest potential, physically, mentally, emotionally and Spiritually, so positive intention ~ an energetic thought form ~ is also part of the energy or life force Feng Shui works with, because everything in our universe is energetically connected.
Too many people still think the chaos they experience is created by external energetic forces, so they come to me looking for quick Feng Shui fix hoping a well placed mirror and a new colour on the front door will make all the difference to their troubled existence. Although adjustments to our surrounding help make us feel better in the short term, I have proven to myself time and again that our thoughts are the energies that create our reality, so in order to apply effective and long lasting Feng Shui enhancements to our environment, clear, heartfelt thinking is imperative first.
When confusing, hectic or disordered thoughts haunt us, achieving this clarity is much easier when using what I refer to Feng Shui For Your Spirit©, which assists in moving energy from our heads to our hearts so we can stop thinking chaotic stuff and start acknowledging how we feel about things instead!
Feng Shui For Your Spirit© incorporates the Bagua Map traditionally used for mapping our homes, in a unique way. I use it as a Soul-searching guide to discover where we’re losing our positively charged life force. The Bagua Map is divided into eight areas (surrounding a grounding centre section), which relate to all aspects of our physical, mental, emotional and Spiritual existence:
WEALTH ~ ABUNDANCE ~ PROSPERITY
FAME ~ REPUTATION
RELATIONSHIPS ~ LOVE ~ MARRIAGE
CREATIVITY ~ CHILDREN
SPIRIT ~ HELPFUL PEOPLE ~ TRAVEL
CAREER EDUCATION ~ KNOWLEDGE ~ SELF CULTIVATION
HEALTH ~ FAMILY
ALL sides of life deserve equal attention and respect, which in turn create balance and harmony, so by creating a personal Feng Shui For Your Spirit© Bagua Map and exploring the positive and negative feelings we hold about each area, we can easily recognize our blessings as well as issues that require the attention of loving energy.
To support Feng Shui For Your Spirit© growth I’ve also developed a card system to be used in conjunction with the Bagua Map or on it’s own. Addressing our inner work allows us a more complete understanding of what we feel in every situation. Meditating on these or other heartfelt concepts found in the Feng Shui For Your Spirit© Card Deck for a few minutes everyday will allow divinely guided energies to create flow in your life.
Accept that this moment is all you ever have.
A peaceful, loving world starts with you.
Generosity is good for your soul.
Trust your inner wisdom.
Stay present.
Loving energy heals all.
Disengage from heartache.
Live free from negative thought.
Gratitude is the only prayer you really need.
Your own ego is the only thing that leads you astray.
Combining these two simple Feng Shui For Your Spirit© techniques makes it much easier to recognize and implement the enhancements we need in our internal and external environments, which help maintain inner peace and create a stress free life!
~ Go with the flow!

Poetry of Being – Perfect Illumination
November 18, 2009 by Nicholas
Filed under Arts, • Headline
As I watched a beautiful fall leaf descending upon the current of a soft breath of air. Mesmerized by its colors of red, orange, and golden brown. Never losing its shape or integrity. I noticed the arrival with no real control, but of design. Bearing a message for me… let go, enjoy… breath, observe, give, receive, love. We are now at the perfect place and time in our lives. All is well… let’s dance.
The brilliant yellow turned into a radiant orange and then red ablaze. This spectacular sight slowly descended, reflecting off white caps, splashing against its face. The glow radiated permeating the sky a florescence in turquoise, resting upon the sands of time. I gazed into this illuminating heart a portal of such beauty … the celestial voice, reverberating of love … Love that flows through each and every one of us.
