CHANGE YOUR LIFE, CHANGE YOUR WORLD:

Ten Spiritual Lessons for a New Way of Being and Living

- by Amoda Maa Jeevan

 

This is an edited excerpt from the introduction to my new book .. I wrote this book because of the imperative for each of us to anchor ourselves within our inner light so that we become the change that we seek .. the ten lessons arose out of a vision I received that revealed the way to do this, step by step and within our everyday lives so that real change can happen.

 


So many of us these days are feeling the strong desire to make changes in our lives that will shift us to a new level of happiness. And so many of us are feeling the urgent call to make changes in the world that will create a brighter future for us all. This book presents the steps for creating everlasting change in your world in the only way that counts … from the inside out. I have called these steps to change ‘lessons’ because this is a spiritual workbook. It contains insights for con- templation and actions to take on a daily basis. Your commitment to the process will lead to a transformation of consciousness that can radically change how you see things and how you experience things. And this will have a direct impact on how you do things. Inner transformation is the key to outer change. However much we may want to save the world or fix what’s wrong, the truth remains that we change the world by changing ourselves. This book is for those of us who are tired of complaining and blaming, and instead are ready to re-create ourselves by becoming the change we want to see. It is for those of us who are ready to do what it takes to shift from smallness to greatness. Because that’s what it will take to re-create our world as we wish it to be.

 

The Ten Lessons in this book arose out of a vision. Although this vision was transmitted to me personally several years ago, I believe it does not belong solely to me, but to each and every one of us. It is a collective vision for our times and it speaks to the inherent knowing in our hearts. This collective vision offers us a road map through tough times. It shows us how to walk through the darkness of fear, doubt, uncertainty, and pain towards the light of our true inner radiance. It shows us that this light has the power to transform our lives from suffering to joy, and the power to transform our world from terror to peace. And it gives us step-by-step instructions on becoming an Agent of Change.

 

What do I mean by Agent of Change? I’m talking about someone who has the courage to take the steps to inner transformation. Someone who takes full responsibility for the experience of their life because they recognize that their outer world is always a reflection of their inner world. Someone who does what it takes to overcome self-limiting beliefs and to replace them with life-affirming choices, because they recognize that living from their highest potential is a gift to themselves and to others. And someone who dives deep inside to discover the truth of who they really are, because they recognize that only an awakened being can bring light to the world. Very often we think that being an Agent of Change means that we need to do something to make things better, that we need to campaign to save the world, fight the good cause, fix what is wrong, or banish the enemy. But all the fighting in the world will not bring us the change we desire. It only serves to perpetuate the same fear-based paradigm that got us into the mess in the first place. To be truly effective as an Agent of Change, we need to change our internal paradigm first – our thoughts, our feelings and our beliefs. In other words, we need to change how we respond to life. Our habitual self-protective and self-serving reactions aren’t work- ing any more. We need a whole new approach.

 

An Agent of Change has the courage to choose a new way of being. It’s a radical shift in consciousness that comes from having the tenacity to walk through the internal landscape of darkness with an open heart. The new evolutionary impulse requires our participa- tion. We cannot sit back and wait for salvation from Heaven. We are required to consciously collaborate in our own awakening by choosing to take the inner steps to transformation. And we are required to consciously collaborate in the planetary awakening of our times through getting excited by the potential of radical change for humanity.

 

One person at a time is how we change the world. When each of us awakens to the miracle of our own power, we shift from being victims of our lives to being conscious co-creators. When we awaken to the power within us, we come into alignment with the power of Creation and miracles happen. But in order to awaken this power, we need to activate an inner muscle that, when used over and over again, creates ripples of remembrance in our body-mind-soul, and plugs us into the field of infinite possibilities.

 

The Ten Lessons outlined in the collective vision and presented in this book are a way of re-activating our true power by awakening us to the truth of who we really are. Each lesson is based on a facet of our true radiant nature and activates a specific quality, or power, that creates inner and outer change. Put together, these ten qualities become like a jewel that expresses the magnificence of who we really are. The transformation starts now … there is no time to waste! Your life is waiting for you to awaken and re- create yourself anew. The world is waiting for each of us to awaken and become Agents of Change in the shift to a new paradigm. We stand at a crossroads and it is up to each one of us to make a choice. We either wake up and create a new world of harmony … or we continue to bury our heads in the sand and we fall into a world of unthinkable suffering. The future is in our hands.

The Healer’s Almanac – Interview with Patty Shaw

by KimberlyCoots on December 30, 2011

I am thrilled to be a Blog Buddy on the very first Day of the Blog Tour of author Patricia Shaw whose book Healers Almanac, Journey into Health with Wisdom from the 21st Century Goddesses!  Launches on Amazon on Thursday January 5th 2012.

 

 

Patty Shaw is an UCM minister, Reiki Master, Spiritual Counselor and teacher and has been interested in the way we heal for most of her life.  When she became a mother she took her own mom’s strategy for health care for the family and added to it by exploring many alternative healing modalities and medicine.  Over the last twenty years Patty has been helping others create happiness through creating health in our body, mind and spirit.  Patty is passionate about helping people whether it’s in her private practice, at her Reiki Clinic or at her School of Akashic Healing where she teaches others how to be spiritual healers.

 

Patty is also co-owner of Coventry Creations with her sister Jacki Smith. Coventry Creations is known for its candles incense and oils that inspire us to make magic the Coventry way.  No matter what’s getting in the way of your success, Coventry Creations has a candle for that.

 

Here’s what Patty and I chatted about the other day when I got to ask her some questions about being a Spiritual Healer. I hope you enjoy it.

 

Kimberly Coots: There is much more to the Healers Almanac than information on alternative healing   modalities; tell us about the goddesses and their messages and meditations.

 

Patty: The goddesses of the Healers Almanac were my muses that lead me down an unexpected path of introspection.  Together we crafted messages of encouragement and enlightening meditations.  I felt connected with something very loving and understanding while I was writing with them.   At times I wondered if I taking dictation from the goddesses themselves. When I was done, I was so in love with all twelve goddesses, that I felt something very special just happened for me.  It is my hope that the readers feel the same love and support as they read their messages and go on the meditations.  In retrospect, I realize that I was being taught to love myself again and that true empowerment is about finding the tremendous value in myself.

Each goddess addresses a different area of life where we tend to shrink away from our potential. These are all important areas we will need to face at some point in our growing up.  Rebecca teaches us about the importance of being responsible for ourselves, while Meredith shows us that living a life in balance promotes success and sanity.  Monica reminds us how to ignite hope, and Katelyn challenges us to show off our individuality.  All twelve goddesses have come to cheer us on and shine the light on what stops us in our tracks and do something about it. They use our own experiences to teach us that we are so much more than what we think we are and give us a real map to follow so we can find ourselves again.  This was the first time I had asked goddesses energy to help me, and look what happened, we wrote a book together!  Goddesses believe in our greatness, not our limits.  I invite everyone to spend some time with the 21st century goddesses of the Healers Almanac and tap into your potential.

 

Kimberly:  What kind of healing work do you do?  

 

Patty: I am energy therapist of sorts and I help my clients work out the kinks and blocks in their energy field that act to short circuit your best efforts to live a happy, fulfilling life. 

With the help of spirit and the many tools I’ve learned, healing becomes a series of myth busting awakenings and course corrections.  Once lessons are learned and truth is embraced and we release fear, we create lots of room for the love we desperately crave to come in.  Every time we forgive, love and let go of destructive or outdated beliefs, traumas from the past and limiting family habits it’s a lot easier to love ourselves. Re-connecting with self love and that we are loved completely is the miracle of healing. Learning the name of what is in the way of self-love is how I help my clients.

Even if the only complaint we have is in our body we can look to the meaning of the illnesses and diseases. We ask; what are you are trying to tell yourself through these aches, pains and conditions?  The story of our illness demonstrates the things we need to change so our body can begin to heal.  Spiritual healing is a very deeply rewarding experience and will help us evolve our soul, heal our body and ignite our life.  When we understanding the reasons behind our challenges and connect back to our higher truth and spiritual expression, new possibilities unfold for us.

Healing is also a lot fun and literally lightens us up as we dump our heavy duty feelings from our heavy duty stories and experiences.  Making time for spiritual healing puts a spring in our step.  The world is a better place when we are happy, our body feels good and we’re in the driver seat again.  Learn more about a healing session with me at www.HealingWithPattyShaw.com.

 

Kimberly: What is your advice to anyone who desires to become a spiritual healer?

 

Patty: The desire to become a spiritual healer, of any kind, is also a calling.  It’s hard to put that down and walk away, but you do have choices and a free will.  My advice is to meditate on it and make sure you are ready for a career in service.  This is a very rewarding career, but it is demanding.  You will be overjoyed by seeing the light return to your client’s eyes and health to their body, but there will be a fair amount of darkness you will trudge through with them.  One is not found without experiencing the other. 

I also recommend experiencing many different kinds of healing modalities to get an idea of the different ways you can approach healing, and there are many, many ways. Find out what appeals to you and how you wish to interact with people.  Are you a one to one kind of person or is working with groups more your style.  Do you wish to be in physical contact with the body or work hands off?  If you aspire to do spiritual counseling, do you wish to be a life coach or help with personal issues? You also need to identify your gifts, develop your skills, awaken talents and overcome your own fears.  You’ll need an education and a supportive network.  Your healing practice is not meant to be an island, so don’t isolate yourself.  Stay in touch with other healers, and the healing community. Continually add to your repertoire of healing modalities that support your talents and gifts. You won’t be able to be everything to your clients, so I highly recommend having connections with other healers who offer complementary services.  Finally, healer, heal thyself, but not by yourself.  Make sure you have your own healing practitioners that you can count on to help you grow, heal and learn.  We are all a work in progress and when you stop healing yourself, you are no longer able to grow along with your clients. One last thing, learn about marketing yourself and being self employed, not as an afterthought, but as an integral part of your practice.
