Button Pushing with Ease and Grace - A guest Blog  by Sharon Lyn Shepard

I so resonate with Sharon Lyn Shepard's take on healing.  I too gave up my healing practice, realizing there is no need to heal when you live in high divine frequency.  As a friend of mine recently said, 'It's not that you don't get sick when you live as an infinite (divine) being.  Its just you enjoy it."   To me that means you have a different perspective.   So Enjoy Sharon's blog and see what your perspective and your Divine Hum is. 



Okay, I’ll say this right up front. This is going to push a few buttons for people. That’s okay, because unless those buttons get pushed, they get stuck in the ON position running on constant repeat. So here goes. If this pushes your button, you can either jump in there and stick it back on repeat with some duct tape, or you can simply allow it to play itself out with ease and grace.

This is something I’ve been experiencing most of my life, especially since I began my spiritual journey. We’ve been indoctrinated into thinking there’s something wrong with us. And then we create an abundance of stories to validate that. Once we spiritually awaken, we go deep diving into our psyches to excavate and heal all these perceived wounds.

I’ve worked as a physical therapist, alternative healer, and spiritual coach. What I’ve discovered is that those who truly choose to heal, do. And those who are still caught up with that button pushed flat out in the ON position, don’t. At some point I had to ask, is there no end to these stories? Do we ever reach a point in which we are “healed”? If so, how do we do that?

I ran across this passage from John O’Donahue this morning and it spoke volumes to me. Perhaps his words may touch a place in your soul that speaks to you as well:
“People in our hungry modern world are always scraping at the clay of their hearts. They have a new thought, a new plan, a new syndrome, that now explains why they are the way they are. They have found an old memory that opens a new wound. They keep on relentlessly, again and again, scraping the clay away from their own hearts. In nature we do not see trees, for instance, getting seriously involved in therapeutic analysis of their root systems or the whole stony world that they had to avoid on their way to the light. Each tree grows in two directions at once, into the darkness and out to the light with as many branches and roots as it needs to embody its wild desires.
Negative introspection damages the soul. It holds many people trapped for years and years, and ironically, it never allows them to change. It is wise to allow the soul to carry on its secret work in the night side of your life. You might not see anything stirring for a long time. You might have only the slightest intimations of the secret growth that is happening within you, but these intimations are sufficient.” ~ John O’Donohue: Excerpt from ANAM CARA~

I have no judgment here for anyone’s particular path, for every soul offers wisdom, and we’ve each chosen to experience things for our own soul’s growth. I’m simply sharing my own personal experience. And perhaps shining a light on a few stuck buttons.

At some point in my life, I got so fatigued with attempting to heal myself and others that I just walked away. I gave up my healing practice and stopped coaching others. I decided there must be an easier way. For the divine within me doesn’t know suffering. And that’s how I chose to live, free of suffering, with the natural ease and grace of life.

Over the years, I played a lot of spiritual shenanigans. Some of them worked to some degree but they were nothing more than games of the mind. Yes, I choose to focus on the good in life rather than the bad. You know, the law of attraction and such as that. There are those who think that’s putting your head in the sand and ignoring all the bad stuff. But, I’m not one who is constantly reaching for the artificially rose-colored glasses.

What I finally realized is that noticing the joy and beauty of life is my natural way of BEing. It’s how the Divine experiences life. It’s the truth of Who I Am, and I was simply getting caught up in the collective consciousness.

Thus, I walked away from all of it and simply called in the Divine. My buttons started popping like crazy. Once I became aware of them, I had to surrender a lot of my usual habits and patterns. It hasn’t always been comfortable, because it means I no longer fit into society’s idea of right and wrong. And stepping out of that requires immense courage because most of the people around us prefer that we remain as they’ve always known us to be.

But after awhile, I noticed a new hum in my life. It’s the hum of Well-being. It’s the hum of the Divine. It’s the hum of my natural way of being. All I need do is remain attuned to this hum, my hum, my authentic Self. I’m aware that the void, or the darkness, is the womb where all my potentials and desires are birthed. I don’t hesitate to spend time in my womb of potentials, I relish it. When I do, new dreams and desires flow into my life with ease and grace.

Yes, there are times when a formerly undisclosed button gets pushed. When it does, I say, Bravo! Because it means more of Who I Am is being revealed to me. But I don’t go deep diving beneath that button to see what pain initiated it, or what I need do to heal it or clear it. I simply allow the button to release itself of its own accord, unraveling all the circuitry that’s been connected to it over the years. All I need do is get out of the way and allow it to clear.

Easy Peasy!

And that’s how life is meant to be lived!
More than that, life is meant to be FUN!
​
Some say I live in the magic of life. I say magic is natural, and it’s the way life is meant to be! For this is the way of the Divine. And this is the lifetime in which we have chosen to realize that we are Divinely Human.

Have fun Divining  Decisions

3/2/2018

​One of the benefits of living in highest frequency as the Divine You is that you usually have clarity about your next step or decision.  You’ve learned that often that’s all you need to know and take action on.   If you don’t have that clarity, you realize it’s not the appropriate time for a decision and you can let ideas brew while you ask yourself,  “What’s the next enjoyable thing I want to do. “  Then go do that.
 
Yesterday was U R So Divine Thursday, and I was fussing a bit about the fact I couldn’t sit down and write this blog.  I wasn’t moved to write about anything!  Nothing wanted to be written about.  I wasn’t clear and focused on a topic.   So I decided to go with the energy and go about my day, knowing when the time was right I would be in tune with what I wanted to write.  
 
Sure enough today I felt playful and the topic of fun ways to make a clear decision came up.   

Of course, first you have to ensure you are in a high frequency as the Divine You.   You have your own unique way of doing that and you can also always fall back on visioning something that brings a feeling of delight, bliss and ecstasy.  It could be a place or an object, something that brings only joy. 

Then you focus on what you want to make a decision on.  You will probably have a few options in mind.  Maybe its as simple as what to eat that is in resonance with your body, or what gift to select for someone. Maybe it's which is the quickest way to drive to an appointment and your GPS isn’t working.  It’s always good begin by practicing and playing with something that won’t ultimately make a difference in a year or so. 
 
Next, connect with the situation.  In the case of those above, with your body, your friend, or the roadways.   Feel their sentient energy, become one.  Let go of the outcome and finally ask a question without expectations for possible answers and see what comes up.  It might be a word, image, feeling or some other sensory perception. 

That may be enough to clarify your decision.  However once in a while it isn’t the appropriate time or   you don’t have time to wait, and you really want an answer. 

Play with Divining the Answer
Here’s where the fun part comes in.  Try one or two of these ‘divination’ techniques.  Keep in mind that you need to have no attachment to, or expectation about the outcome.

1. Use your body as a pendulum   If possible hold on to some of the options.  This will work if you are in a food market or gift store.   First ask your body to show you yes and no without a question in mind.  Most people move forward or back.  Some side to side.   Then hold on to an option and ask if it’s the best according to whatever criteria you set…..  For your bodies greatest good, for your friends greatest enjoyment and use or in the case of getting to your appointment, hold it in your mind and ask your body to show you yes to a variety of routes asking Is this the safest and quickest?

2. If you know how to muscle test using  the index finger and thumb on one hand to make an o ring and then using the index finger  and thumb on the other hand to pull apart the original ring made by your finger and thumb when you ask the question using the same criteria. Get the feel for it by asking your original fingers to hold strong and check how easy or difficult it is to pull the original ring apart.  Then ask a question with a yes or no answer that you know.  Eg.  My name is____.   For this method  it is best if you have something you can put under your arm or sit down with it on your lap…. Somewhere touching you. 

3. Finally perhaps the most fun is flipping a coin. Heads its best, tails it’s a no go.   This works for deciding lots of things.  Whether you ‘should’ go on a trip, buy that dress that’s calling your name, whatever.  Its when you are trying to make a decision but your head is getting in the way.   The secret here going with your immediate gut reaction.  Are you thrilled or disappointed when heads comes up.  Does your gut wrench when you get a no?  Don’t let the coin toss make your decision.  Go with your gut. 
There’s a variation  you can play with if you’re with a friend and trying to choose between two or more things. Have her put two behind her back and you point to one hand.  Notice that gut feeling when you see what she has in her hand.  If there’s another item, repeat until you get down to one.  Be sure to notice your feeling when that is shown?  Disappointed?  Maybe none of them were the best. 
 
Anyway,  I hope you enjoy making your next decision by playing with divining an answer.
