Pure Intentions. Positive Results.

This has always been a tag line for my wellness center...   and this goes way back!  I have always felt, if your intentions are pure, you will always realize positive results.

As a Reiki Master Teacher, one of the first things I learned is to stay pure of intent and always work towards someone's highest and best.  In the same token, you should always remain pure of intent and work towards your own highest and best.  What is your highest and best you ask?  Let me explain.

Your highest and best is your perfect version of yourself.  Your best self.  The self you imagine in your dreams where you are happy ...and at peace.   

You may imagine yourself thinner, more successful, married to someone  who is more attractive...  (and Jay, my love - if you are reading this, this does NOT apply to you! LOL)  These things, your more superficial wants, may not always be for "your highest and best".  Everyone's higher self looks different.  Everyone's higher self also may look different than what...  well, what you may think.

I will give you an example of this.  When I first began my working career, there was a job I really really wanted.  I sent all sorts of good energy to this job, I had multiple interviews, I thought I had it in the bag.  I thought the job was perfect for me and for my highest and best.  It seemed like such a perfect fit.  Then...  I did not get the job.  I was devastated.  What went wrong?  Why did the positive energy not work?  Well...  Take outcome out of the equation.  Send pure intentions for THE perfect job not THIS perfect job, since - it may not be...  allow flow and then another job, better than I could have imagined, fell into my lap!

When you were younger your parents "knew best" - or so we thought.  I will disclose and say "most" parents knew best.  But, overall, and you get where I am going with this, they wanted what was best for you.  As we get older, we take this responsibility on for ourselves.  Sometimes we do very well with it?  Annnd....  Sometimes we do not.  Sometimes we get clouded.  Sometimes it is due to stress or anxiety, or even may be caused by what we eat.  (Yes, truth be told - and there will be posts following on nutritional health as I discover the good, the bad, and the ugly!)  When we get clouded, we lean towards taking the easy way out.  We choose the path of least resistance.  Sometimes this proves to NOT be for our highest and best.

Energy workers that are reading this know that we always work with clients for their highest and best.  We remove ourselves from the equation, remove outcome and let healing happen.  This is what we also need to do for ourselves.  Our higher selves, our perfect versions of ourselves are always trying to emerge.  We need to allow the process.  If we allow, and this means getting quiet enough to listen...  we can physically feel the flow of energy.  The freeing energy we feel when we KNOW we are in the right place.  Subsequently, there are other times when we also know, we have brought ourselves NOT to the right place, and we can recognize how that feels too.  Right?  Not so good, and definitely not in the flow.

Now...  there are also times, when you are kinda sorta clear and you kinda sorta feel in the groove and on the right path, only to find you are really not in a groove at all, but in reality, you have found yourself in a rut - some more worn than others.  They can look similar - they can feel similar, but none the less are very very different.  You know who you are...  we have all been there.  And, contrary to some beliefs...  you can get yourself out!  Yes! You! Can!

This is where the pure intentions, positive results come into play.  It may be hard to align yourself with clear thoughts and pure intentions when things get in the way, however, once you realize that you need to make a shift, do just that; make the shift.  Yes, it is that easy.  Start with one step at a time.  You can do it!

As I am talking about allowing, and getting into the flow, this does not mean you can't have goals, or have something to focus on, this simply means that you cannot get so tied up in all of it that you get lost in the minutia.   When the book, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" came out...  it was great, because yes...  it's all small stuff!  Always know that moving forward, even in the smallest of steps, is still moving forward.  Stay pure of heart.  Be true to yourself and follow your dreams.  We tell our kids every day...  You can do anything you want to do.  If you put your mind to it, you can achieve it.  Remain positive.  Stay focused and if you feel you are ever started down the wrong path, it's okay...  turn around, and start again.  It is never too late to change direction.

Stay true to yourself at all times.  Remain focused and move forward in love and light.  Pure intentions.  Positive results.

Be Well,
Mary-Anne
