Fear is such a prevalent force in so many people’s lives and in society as a whole. Choices we make based on fear rarely create outcomes we enjoy. When we let go of our fear, open to love and begin to trust the process of life we automatically live in a totally different world.

The Toltec tradition is based on the concept that the world is a vast energy system.  We can use our emotions like a barometer.  Low pressure usually means unsettled weather and rain while high pressure indicates clear, sunny weather. Fear indicates trauma and drama on the horizon while joy and love indicate smooth sailing.

My favorite story about my time as Don Miguel’s student is when I told Leslie, one of the advanced students that all the stuff we were learning seemed like brain washing. She looked at me, smiled and said, “Your brain needs washing.” How right she was.

I wasn’t aware at that point that I was responsible for my emotions and that the events in my life were all emotionally neutral. It took me a lot of ‘brain washing’ to realize that I didn’t need to change my life in order to feel good, all I had to do was change my thinking.

The irony was that until I changed my thinking the events in my life were likely to continue to be reruns. Once I changed my thinking and began to tap into love more often than fear my life became a magical adventure rather than a boring rerun of the same old trauma and drama.

This morning I climbed to the top of the addition I am putting on my home. I stood where my desk will be and was blown away by the view. Owning a home in Hawaii would never have been part of my life had I not changed my filter system. Having a three story addition built to my specifications was no where in the picture. Barely paying the bills and hiding my car from the repo man was part of the life that fear built. I enjoy my present life a whole lot more.

Take time to let go of your limiting beliefs and see what happens to your life. I can guarantee you will love the results.

Until next time with lots of love,
Susan

This week I opened up my latest class, The Art of Allowing. Until Sunday you can join as a Charter Member. Check it out, it is a wonderful ‘brain washing’ tool.
