How to Connect With the Divine Through RECEIVING

“I don’t want to bother you”

“Aw thanks, but I’m okay, I’m just complaining.”

Ever said one of these statements? Ever heard another woman say them?

Yep, we women have a REALLY difficult time receiving help or pleasure. And it is one of the top reasons we don’t “receive” what our soul truly desires.

Yes, it’s time we take a much closer look at receiving and give it the attention and practise it deserves because your goals, dreams and desires depend on it.

This week’s post and video teaches you two ways to practise receiving – the Human version of receiving AND the Soul version of receiving.  Ready?

Let’s do this!

Over the past five weeks we’ve been looking at the attributes of God/Source and the reason for doing this is so that we can EMBODY these traits. We can’t become more Divine, vibrating at a high frequency, and living an exquisite life if we don’t know exactly what to focus on, can we?

Once we learn how to BE these Divine attributes we can start harnessing the power and beauty of it. Not only to create beautiful transformation in our own lives, but the lives of everyone around us.

Today is the very last post in this Series. (There are more attributes of the Divine but I’ve been guided to stop here, so I will)

The final attribute of the Divine I will share with you is…you guessed it – RECEIVING.

Two Ways to Practise & Embody RECEIVING

1. Open ourselves up to RECEIVE from ourselves and others.

When others offer you help – take it! (Even when it feels really uncomfortable to). When you do this you allow the other person to practise the art of generosity, so really it’s a win win!

I have come a long way on this. I am now able to actually ask for help, but still find it a bit of an effort to receive help that is simply offered without me asking.

It’s such an interesting phenomenon, isn’t it?

The one area I don’t struggle with is gifting myself alone time and pampering time. It is such a part of my personality that I require alone time to recharge. If I don’t gift this to myself I become resentful and angry REAL quick! Can you relate? Most ladies that follow me are introverts or ambiverts so I am sure you “get” this.

However, most of my clients, even though they are introverts deny themselves pleasure. They would never schedule regular moments of pleasure because they believe they must give first THEN receive, only there is never any time left over to receive so they just carry on giving and giving.

Until…

They blow up! They yell at their kids and husband and feel like they are depressed, but aren’t sure why.

The reason why is because it is a natural attribute of the Divine to receive, and if you aren’t regularly receiving your soul will feel out of alignment and depressed.

Or, perhaps depressed is too strong of a word, perhaps “flat” is a better word. Life is “okay”, but it’s not fulfilling or full of JOY.

Can you relate?

So, the first thing you want to practise this week is to consciously allow yourself to receive. When others offer (friends, children, family, your husband or partner) say, “Yes, Thank you!”

And schedule at least ONE pleasure for yourself this week. Tune in to your soul and ask it,

What do you require to ENJOY this week?”

Whatever comes up, whether it be quiet time to read a magazine in the bath, go to the movies with girlfriends, book a massage or begin a new novel, listen and schedule it in your diary. Trust me… you’ll be in BLISS! And in return, resonating the vibration of openness to receive to the Universe.

2.  Be still & RECEIVE downloads from the Divine.

If you are always running around, shuttling kids from class to class, working, volunteering, travelling and such you will not be able to receive the gorgeous downloads from the Divine.

The Divine has already received your requests, desires or prayers, but now it’s waiting for YOU to receive guidance!

Without stillness and silence in your life it will be much more difficult to live and manifest the kind of life you dream about.

The Elegant Life is a life where you create moments of stillness and silence so that you can hear the actions to take.

I will be teaching the elegant morning meditation and rituals that I do every morning and evening at a Retreat I’ll be telling you about shortly.

It is so very important, to turn off the radio, TV, podcasts and music and just have silence in your life.

When I drive in the car,  I sometimes just drive in silence.

When I’m doing things around the house I sometimes consciously choose not to put my lovely music on.

Remember? Spiritual women who live elegantly CHOOSE how their life flows. And yes, I know it’s not always easy. It takes practise, like building a “receiving muscle”, but you will notice a massive difference in the fulfilment you feel as well as the ease in your ability to manifest. Trust me on this one!

Have you ever?

Have you ever experienced magical benefits from receiving?

Have you ever noticed that when you’ve been generous with yourself, gifting yourself something that gives you pleasure that you experience other beautiful experiences or gifts from the Universe?

Have you ever regularly had a morning meditation or ritual and seen and felt the miracles that have transpired because of it?

I’d LOVE to hear about them in the comments!

This is the last post in this series of “How to Connect With the Divine”. If you missed any click HERE to start back at the very first post. I have absolutely LOVED showing you how to embody the attributes of the Divine!

2 Ways to Deeply Connect With the Divine Through: LOVE

Have you ever felt LOVE so strongly that it feels like your body is 100% FULL?

You may look at your child sleeping and feel it, have a beautiful evening with your partner and feel it or meet a new, incredible partner and feel it.

How about Divine love?  Have you felt that? Well, that’s what we’re talking about today – from an Elegant Life perspective of course;)

I’m going to show you two ways that you can elegantly connect with the Divine and in turn elevate your life and the collective consciousness of the planet. Ready?

First, let’s review something about energy.

The Frequency of LOVE

The vibration of Divine Energy is called zero point energy. A famous physicist named Richard Feynman describes it as this:

Zero point energy holds an order of magnitude with greater power than nuclear energy.

One teacup of empty space (zero point energy) contains enough energy to boil all the world’s oceans.

The Frequency of Love is very, very close to this zero point energy, so that is why we feel blissful and full and like nothing else exists when we are in the state of it.

And because we are in that high energy state, we raise the vibration of everything around us due to The Law of Entrainment.

This law states that anything with a low frequency that is in the presence of high energy must rise to match that high energy.

So, I can hear you asking me this now, “Erin, how do I get into that high frequency state of LOVE more often than just every once in a while?”

Two Ways to Get into the Frequency of Love

1) BE LOVE

One of the biggest gifts I received while being a Buddhist student back in the mid 90’s was to meditate on BEING an attribute of an enlightened being.

Every single day I do a specific meditation that I learned back in 1997.  I’ll be teaching the full version to all the ladies who choose to join me at a retreat I’m hosting in May, but here’s the short version.

Part of it includes me saying,

Bless me with the love and compassion of an enlightened being.

Then I visualise the colour red filling my body…so much so that it overflows from me…through every pore and out into the universe.

Another way I BE Love is:

During the day, when I experience frustration, during Dubai traffic for example, I ask myself,

How would Consciousness BE in this situation?

You can substitute any word for Consciousness here: Jesus, Buddha, God…

The point is to consciously make the choice to BE LOVE. It’s one of the fastest ways of coming out of low energy and putting yourself into a higher frequency.

2) DO LOVE

Do what you love. Every day I wake up totally excited and energised to do my work in the world – my Calling.  Do you feel this way?

Have you chosen to be a stay-at-home mom and really LOVE it?

Do you own a business that feeds your heart & soul?

Do you go to a place of work and really LOVE what you do?

If not, it is going to take a lot of energy for you to  get into and stay in the state of LOVE and connection with the Divine.

(If you desire to know what your Calling is, start by viewing these two videos.)

When you are DOING something that uses every natural talent, ability or personality trait that you were given from the Divine you ooze LOVE Energy!

It’s easy to stay in Elegant Flow and feel fulfilled, peaceful and full of bliss in this state.

This week’s Focus:

Spend time contemplating whether or not you are BEING LOVE & DOING LOVE.

Notice the times, situations and people that bring you out of love energy and then make a CHOICE to get back into alignment.

You may need to rearrange things in your life in order to serve you better. What might those things be? Changing companies? Letting people go from your life? Setting clearer boundaries with people? Starting a business?

If you need any personal support in finding your Calling or dealing with dissatisfaction in your life please reach out to me.

You can have a Mentoring Session with me by clicking HERE. My work is very powerful as I am guided by the Divine during our session, and by now you know that any time you directly connect with the Divine, change and enlightenment occurs quickly and elegantly.

Until next week!

 

 

P.S. If you know of any woman who is Spiritual and adores beauty and beautiful things, please forward this post to them or Share on your Social Media channels. I desire to serve and support over 20,000 women this year and with your support that goal can become a reality. Thank you.

How to Connect With the Divine Through: BEAUTY | Spiritual Growth

Ever felt like Spiritual Growth & Personal Growth was really hard sometimes?

Women all around the world are feeling overwhelmed by life right now and to top it all off they are women who strongly desire inner peace! Argh! What to do?

That’s what this Series is all about and that is most definitely what this week’s post is about.

I want to show you how BEAUTY can be used to help you connect with The Divine so that life begins feeling…well… BEAUTIFUL!

And also that life begins to flow more elegantly. Ready?

In last week’s post I spoke about Creativity and how the Divine is constantly intending for something to be created. YOU were intended and created too – isn’t that so special?

Everything the Divine creates is beautiful – yes, even the sometimes challenging experiences that we are gifted in order to help us grow and evolve.

You see the Divine always desires the best outcome, the most expansive outcome for it’s creations, and therefore you wouldn’t be given an opportunity for spiritual growth in your life if it were not beautifully intended to serve you in some way; to help you become more full of beauty and expansiveness.

So, the next time you are feeling like,

Why me, God???”

Remember that the experience was purposefully created for you in order to gift you the opportunity to grow into who you truly desire to be. (aka the most beautiful version of yourself)

If you are currently experiencing something difficult ask yourself these questions:

  1. What is it from this experience that I can learn?
  2. What woman can I become by experiencing this?

The second way you can experience Spiritual Growth and Connection with the Divine is through focusing on YOUR beauty.

I want you to begin having reverence for yourself. Why? Because it is imperative that you tune in to the fact that you wouldn’t be here if you were not intended by God to be here.

You were created exactly the way the Divine desired and intended you to be so please be grateful for who you are and have deep reverence for it.

You can begin a pilgrimage of getting to know, love and accept yourself by:

  1. Remembering who you were as a child. Think back to how you were as a child in terms of your talents, personality, natural abilities, joys, likes etc.
  2. Give yourself permission to BE that person again, albeit, in a potentially more refined way now that you are a woman.
  3. Start dressing in the style that you love. (Watch the video above at minute 12:34 to hear me share a recent story of mine where a Parisian woman solidified this point for me)

So, when we start viewing beauty in ALL things; opportunities, challenges, people, places, and US (both inside and out) we live in resonance with Divine energy, because the Divine IS beauty.

I’ll be spending a full day on the topic of getting to know ourselves intimately, loving ourselves deeply and expressing our inner and outer beauty during a retreat that I’ll be speaking to you about in a few weeks, but for now, focus on the things I’ve mentioned here for a whole week. I guarantee you’ll feel like a brand new woman in just 7 days.

If you can think of any woman who you love and would benefit from hearing about this or any other topic on The Elegant Life, please use the SHARE buttons at the top of this post.  We need more women living from a Divine space of Beauty in this world.

With all my love,

How to Connect With the Divine Through: Creativity

Creativity is often only used when describing someone who is artistically inclined. I used to believe this too…until I had my  awakening experience.

When I speak of creativity from a spiritual perspective I am referring to it as an attribute of the Divine. In this week’s post/video I will explain why it is SO vitally important that we all tap into this attribute.

Ready? (If you usually read these posts I highly recommend you also watch the video)

If we look around our planet the creativity of the Divine is exemplied everywhere.  The variety of flowers, the variety of scents, the fish, the plants, the insects, ovulation, procreation, birth, neurones, hormones…the creativity is even beyond comprehension when you really stop to think of it.

Now, the Divine also used it’s creativity to create Y.O.U. It intended that you be created and so you were! Yes, once you were not here and then…you were!

Out of nothingness you appeared.

And because you were intended from the Source of everything you are part of that Source (just as I mentioned in last week’s video on abundance)

So, in your essence you are Divine Energy. Yet…at the same time, you were created to have certain personality traits, physical characteristics, natural talents and abilities etc. This was the Divine being extremely creative! There is no one on this whole planet exactly like you!  Isn’t that gorgeous???

Since you were specifically created to be you there must be a reason you were created the way you were, right?

As our souls live this human life we have two ways to be creative:

  1. Express all your unique talents, personality traits, interests & natural abilities via your Calling. (To learn more about how to find your Calling you can go back and watch this video)
  2. Use our Free Will (also given to us by the Divine) to co-create whatever life we want.  I’m often heard saying that our lives are our own blank canvas and we have the ability to create an exquisite masterpiece! In the video above  at minute 8:00 I share with you the next experience I am intending to create..mmmm)

Now, by using creativity in these two ways, what are we doing?

YES! We are helping Divine Consciousness expand.  How perfectly set up. How beautifully orchestrated – a true win-win.

When you express yourself creatively you feel in Elegant Flow.  Things manifest elegantly,  you feel totally fulfilled inside and you experience what true inner peace and confidence is.

We as women can often put off expressing ourselves out of the belief that we must satisfy everyone else’s desires and needs first.  Then and only then will we gift ourselves the TIME to create the life WE truly desire.

Well, I’m giving you  permission. I’m tapping you on the shoulder to remind you that you were purposefully created by the Divine and that life WILL go on if you begin focusing on yourself more.

Trust me on this one!

And, as a benefit, all of your relationships will improve because you will be walking around as the Divine, Creative, Happy Energy that you are.

If you enjoyed this post please share it with a woman you love.  We need more women living authentically in this world. Now more than ever. Thank you.

See you next week with the next attribute of the Divine!

With so much love,

How to Connect With the Divine Through: Abundance

Abundance is often spoken about in Spiritual circles however in today’s post I want to talk about it in a completely unique way; how to get into harmony with abundance so that you elegantly tune into God/Divine Consciousness.

Once we are vibrating harmoniously with Divine Consciousness we are able to elegantly manifest anything we desire.

Are you ready to learn about this from an Elegant Life perspective?

Today I felt a bit under the weather, so to honour myself I have recorded a video for you, but not written a matching post. Thank you for understanding. The video is only 11 minutes but it’s a good one. Someone told me they had shivers up their spine while watching it so that’s always a good sign;)

Please let me know in the comments if you’ve ever felt the vibration of abundance.  It doesn’t just have to relate to an abundance of money, it could be of love, nature, anything!

Enjoy the rest of your week and I’ll see you back here next week for another attribute of Divine Consciousness that you can tune into!

P.S. If you missed last week’s video I HIGHLY recommend you read or watch it as it speaks to the POWER of being in harmony with Divine Consciousness. Click here to take you there.

With Love,
