Here I am sitting on an exercise ball because it hurts too much to sit in a chair to type. My body was screaming at me during the whole month of June to pay attention to the way I was doing life; first by a broken tooth, then a root canal and resulting infection, and finally the pain in my butt. Since my butt is speaking the loudest right now, I will share with you its revelation.

After learning from both the massage therapist and chiropractor that my body was experiencing sciatica, I decided to take a look at the underlying spiritual, mental and emotional causes. I went to my trusted resource, Messages from the Body. Here’s what it told me:

The direction I am going is causing deep inner pain, which I don’t want to feel, so I ignore it.

I am experiencing gullibility and being insufficiently critical in my judgment calls by being over-accepting, naïve and suggestible. I am experiencing a fear of money and the future.

Lo and behold – the underlying causes hit home --  right where it hurts. I have been feeling and avoiding an inner pain about the direction of my spiritual practice. My practice runs in peaks and valleys, and of late, it is experiencing a valley. I ignored the pain and the need for spiritual, mental and emotional healing, thinking I needed to do more in the way of broadcasting my services. I made uninformed decisions about my web site and search engine optimization. I spent way too much money without a return on my investments. My concerns have been about money and the future. All of this manifested as a pain in the butt, which I can’t ignore any more. Too bad foresight doesn’t kick in before hindsight.

With this awareness, I decided to stop ignoring what my body was telling me. I decided to practice what I preach and make the changes to the underlying causes. I used Emotional Freedom Technique and my Internal Clutter Busting method. I called on the Angels and the entire Company of Heaven for assistance. This was a big one and I needed all the help I could get.

I acknowledged that I was confused about why I was here and the direction in which I was going – did I misunderstand how I was to use the gifts given to me by Spirit?

The work began. Layers of erroneous beliefs surfaced and were changed. I received revelations, which I share with you here:

Pay attention and heal the underlying cause(s) of negative thoughts and feelings, because they will manifest into something physical -- either a detrimental life experience or an illness.

In my daily life, I have to stop efforting – stop doing and just be the egoless vessel through which God and the Company of Heaven demonstrate. Stop doing things the hard way (that was my father talking). I don’t have to make anything happen. I just get to be the hollow bone through which the Divine can work.

When I am in that sacred place, using the gifts given to me by Spirit, I have no problem being the hollow bone through which the Divine can work. If I allow myself to be that egoless vessel – that hollow bone in my daily life, God will demonstrate for me all the good I desire and deserve.

I was given these decrees to help me change my thinking and my efforting ways:

I AM BEING. And, since I am made in God’s image and I AM is one of God’s names, my other decree is: GOD IN ME IS BEING. This helps me remember that my thoughts, words and feelings are being acted upon by Spirit, and the only doing I have to do is follow Divine guidance.

I hope sharing my story, decrees and lessons learned will benefit you or someone you know. Your own experiences and comments are welcomed below.

If you decide to use these decrees or any others that I post, there is a possibility they may not work if there are sabotaging beliefs at a subconscious level. If this is the case, I invite you to contact me for a free consultation to determine if Internal Clutter Busting training will be helpful.
