TIME TO FIND YOUR JOY!


When do you actually stop and take inventory of your happiness? Have you ever? Is it something that you have ever even thought about? I'm going to share my most recent experience that created an amazing shift for me and hopefully, it will help you question where's your bliss?
My company AQUAMANTRA is all about creating your reality. We are the creators by what we think, what we say and how we react. Whether we can go with the flow or we fight it all the way? I've always been an optimist, and will gladly admit that sometimes the glass is overflowing for me... I like it that way. Recently, some things have been happening however, that have given me grave reason to question what is it I'm creating for myself? I've never actually had any issues with money as in receiving it, but recently I noticed a pattern of people not paying me back, people not performing as promised, people lying about what is happening. It started about 3 months ago, and since then it has made my job/life that much more challenging. Keep my little company moving forward has been a lifetime of challenges, a choice you make an entrepreneur forging the way.. not really knowing the right way, just the way moving forward. So when you introduce new people who are supposed to support you into your mix, and they don't do what they promised, then you have to watch over them and support them and train them and educate them, on top of an already challenging job. I didn't actually take into account my happiness in all of this. I was beginning to get very frustrated with everyone, including my husband even though he had nothing to do with any of this. Last week, I had to take a closer look at what I was creating, why was I creating this? And most importantly, how can I shift this so I'm not attracting these people or experiences to me.
I've had the privilege of listening to Wendy Kennedy who channels a collective of light being called the Pleadians. They usually have good information to listen to so I took some time to download the 2 hour free radio program on the radio show Journey's with Rebecca : http://www.journeyswithrebecca.com/archives_09.html - and what I learned on there, was not entirely new information for me, yet the delivery was profound because I was ready to receive it. She talked about how life is layed out like a harp and each chord represents a different 'frequency' or vibration that we are vibrating to. When we are on the lower chord, that is what people, places and experiences we're willing to receive. When we're on the higher chords or frequency's that is what we'll receive and we are the only ones who can generate that shift. I know its just that easy... I guess I just needed to receive the awareness that I HAD to make the shift or my life was going to keep attracting drama. The drama actually started for me in February when an awnry person in my organization tried to create a coo and kick me out of my own company I generated. She attacked me, my skills and my efforts and created a sense of unrest and mistrust within my organization. I spent the last 4 months, trying to make everyone happy by bringing other people in to help and in the process, lost any joy in my creating because I was deferring my potency to others. Its no fun when people blame you for their own insecurities, I see now my mistake was allowing that energy to permeate into my organization and my experiences. So now... I am listening to the download and it talks about manifestation. Imagine a sky scraper and we're on the the rooftop. When we want to manifest something we hold in our hands a boomerang that is our vision, mine is to align with people who want to take our company to the next level and who want to make this world a better place than when they arrived. So I toss out my boomerang and wait for universe to bring it back. But what happens? People throw accusations at you, you start to question what your own dream is, you might work harder and do everything you can to please everyone ( which by the way never works!) and then... you look up and you're on the 32 floor. The boomerang comes back as promised and your stuck on the 32 floor, saying where is it Universe? Where's my dream? And then you have to get back up there and throw the boomerang again. So what the Pleadians recommend is to raise your frequency, how do we do that? Find our joy, find what makes us happy and do that. For reals? That's all we have to do? That can't be that hard... so I stopped and took a moment to do an inventory of what brings me joy and what I discovered was that I didn't even know what brings me joy anymore. I have been working my whole life, dedicated to making a difference but hadn't stopped to find out what it was for me? Get your pads out and start writing you'll be surprised. Then its no wonder we're not getting everything we want, our frequency is on that lower chord dishing us crap cuz that's what we're creating! If its not rewarding, why the f@! are we doing it? So the next day after I discovered this, I was dedicated to my Joy. I woke up and let my puppies jump in bed and hug and kiss me for 15 minutes. I soaked in the pure unconditional love and allowed it to permeate through all of me. Then I thought of 5 things I'm grateful for and really got into the space of that, so grateful. I was committed to finding my joy. If I have joy, then whatever happens outside of me can't drag me down because I am spreading love and happiness around me, how does it get any better than that? The next day I worked, and there was some stress but I focused on being happy and just bringing joy to even that accomplishing, cleaning up the mess that had been created by the people who attempted to work for us. Then comes labor day weekend. We had no plans and not a lot of money, but by Thursday I had plans for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Saturday, I told my friends my job that day was to find my joy! It started out on my friends patio sipping mimosas and eggs Benedict with Salmon. We meandered over to a little boat to cruise the harbor, the sun was deliciously soaking us up while we scooted around the harbor. We saw Sea Lions right next to us, jumping fish and jelly fish swimming all around us. Later we jumped in the ocean and swam around I was definitely finding my joy, as you can see the big smile on my face in the picture. I had a moment where it looked a bit challenging to get hoist myself back in the boat with no landing on the back. I sat in the water and held on the edge, pondering what it would take to get me in the boat easily. Just then a speed boat scooted by us and created a few waves, my captains, cursed the guy and got upset, while I stayed present in my awareness and thought, I'm going to use the gravity of the wave to hoist my big ole booty in the boot. Everyone was focused on that boat and launched myself with the help of the amazing water, right into the boat. They said he was rude I was grateful. My joy frequency was working for me! We cruised around, we picked up dinner and had the most amazing feast! The next day I watched a movie I had wanted to see for a long time, then cruised down to the Del Mar race track for some races and a free Ziggy Marley concert - which was a full house of love and peace energy. I'm going to be riding this wave a lot longer and promise to remind myself daily, is this rewarding? or bringing me joy? Or is this dragging my frequency down? I highly suggest you listen to the download and make an inventory of what brings you happiness. Its really quite simple and funny if you think about it. Hmmmm. Do things that make me happy and bring joy to the things that you don't necessarily love to do. How we approach it, is how we will receive it! Man, I must've said it 50 times this weekend. I Love my life... It's been a while since I said that. THANK YOU Mrs. P
Follow your bliss and the boomerang will come back.
Love and Blessings, M-Alexandra
