Did you know that the frequency of JOY is even higher than LOVE?
Being in the state of JOY gives you the energy, motivation & clarity to BE, DO & ENJOY everything your Soul desires!
Think about it…
When you are in complete JOY
you:
Have more energy
Easily do movement activities
More quickly/efficiently perform tasks
Feel fulfillment
Are more care-free about things (flexible mindset)
Are more open to trying new things
Are inspired to love yourself & others – it feels natural to you
I could go on and on, but can
you see the difference in what JOY gifts you (and others)?
So, the BIG question then is HOW to ascend into this state, right?
Well, I share the Elegant HOW in this week’s video!
On Monday, January 20th, it’s my 48th birthday! So, in honour of this, I’d like to gift you a 48% off coupon code to use towards The Joy Formula that I mention in the video- YAY!
I only do this kind of SALE once a year on my birthday so be sure to take advantage!!! The coupon code is only valid until 12 Midnight EST on January 20th so act now and begin feeling JOY… today!
The Coupon code is: JOY2020 (Feel free to share this with any friends, family or even on your social media accounts!) The more the better! We want to spread JOY everywhere this year!!!
How would you like me to show you how to make these remaining moments of 2017 truly meaningful so that you move into 2018 with a whole new frequency, a frequency that allows you to step up and into your most elegant, exquisite life?
You may have had a year that didn’t turn out the way you expected it to.
Your dream may not have manifested.
You may have lost someone. Or you may have had to let someone go from your life.
Or, you may have gotten a new job! Received a promotion! Moved cities or countries! Whatever happened (or didn’t happen) in 2017, let’s make 2018 even better!
Step One – To End the Year Right
Reflect on what has transpired over the past year.
Take out a piece of paper and draw a line down the centre.
On the left side write, “What Things Served Me This Year”
On the right side write, “What Things Didn’t Serve Me This Year”
Complaining about what’s wrong in my life instead of focusing on being thankful for what IS good
These are just some examples that clients have told me. Your Soul will tell YOU what worked and what didn’t.
Step Two – To End the Year Right
Underneath your chart write this question:
“Choices I CHOOSE to make in 2018 are:”
Based on the answers in your chart, decide which items would have the most positive impact on your life in 2018.
I recommend listing 2-5 choices. No more. Just making ONE important choice is powerful enough, but try and go for at least 2.
Step Three – To End the Year Right
Be sure that you are following me on either Instagram or Facebook so you can learn when my New Years Facebook Training will be.
In this training I’ll be sharing my FULL process to end the year right. My hubby and I do this every single year and it is just gorgeous. We look forward to it!
So, be sure to follow on either Facebook or Instagram or…even better… be sure you are on our email list by opting in to any of our free gifts on this site. The most popular is the Ebook “The 5 Things You Need to Remove From Your Life TODAY to Manifest the Life You Want.”
I’ll see you next week with my December Favourites Video! My November Favourites was very popular so I’ve decided to continue with the Favourites Series every month!
It was a moment I’ll never forget… I felt complete bliss and fulfillment of every kind.
I was lying on the floor, covered in a warm blanket, listening to some peaceful music at a Spiritual Retreat when IT happened.
A Moment of PURE Fulfillment
Indigo and purple lights began swirling rapidly in my mind’s eye, faster and faster they swirled until I was no longer in my body, I was an energy, in union with Source Energy.
It felt like everythingness and nothingness all at the same time, and it was pure BLISS.
I’ve never really known how to fully express what happened to me but just recently I read in a book by Osho, that the Buddha describes “Nirvana” as meaning:
You have ceased to be; you are just an infinite emptiness like the sky. And the moment you are that infinity, you become full of stars, and a totally new life begins. You are reborn.”
Osho goes on to say,
Bliss is not something that you invent but something that you discover. Bliss is your innermost nature.”
Are You Craving Fulfillment, Bliss & Joy in Your Life?
The most popular question I receive from women is this…
“Erin, how do you find pleasure and personal fulfillment when you’re dealing with everything else going on in your life?”
Some of the “things” women mention are:
a parent recently passing
children getting ready or already having flew the nest
juggling the demands of raising children and work or running a business
health issues
Here’s what I always answer:
“Your level of fulfillment, success, health & bliss is directly related to the distance of where you are now to where you are in terms of knowing and embodying the fact that you are Divine Energy. That you are part of the the Source of All Energy – God.”
(Watch me fully explain this at minute 1:35 in the video above)
If the distance is wide between these two then your manifestations will take longer and your experience of life will be one of multiple growth opportunities so that you finally KNOW and EMBODY the truth of what you really are.
How do I know this? My gap used to be HUGE! Yet I felt I was a spiritual woman and a seeker of truth.
How to Close the Gap Between Where You Are Now & True Fulfillment
Six years ago I was in quite a state.
I was the mother of a newborn, after having a horrific birth experience (watch the video at minute 4:05 where I describe what made this such a medieval type birth!) with a 4 year old just starting school and an international online Parenting Business to run.
During the pregnancy of my daughter I was struggling with a few personal issues that made me fall into a depression, but after that birth experience I fell DEEP into depression.
Why? Because I felt completely abandoned by God. I had spent 3 months preparing myself to have a stunning, spiritual hypnobirthing experience and the fact that it went completely and utterly opposite from what I visualised made me…well…I’ll be brutally honest here…I gave God the finger.
I was done.
My world, my marriage, my body started crumbling down and I nearly lost everything after certain things took place.
Then a friend of mine told my husband and I about a Spiritual Retreat that was focusing on clearing our energy system.
It was at this spiritual retreat, after one particularly intense clearing session that I experienced what I described at the beginning of this post – nirvana and self-realization.
I walked out of this Spiritual Retreat reborn – literally. And life has never been the same…it’s been better than I ever dreamed – all of my desires, dreams, wishes have come true or are coming true as we speak…with elegance and ease.
What if I told you that I have created a Spiritual Retreat just for YOU that has never existed before?
For 3-4 months now I have been putting together the most beautiful, luxurious, elegant and sacred Spiritual Retreat that has never existed.
At this Retreat you will be doing the EXACT clearing sessions that I went through, with the SAME facilitator and oh, so much more!
I won’t go into all the specifics here, you can find them over at The Elegant Life Experience Registration Page HERE.
I talk about it in more detail in the video above at minute 9:30.
If what you read on the Registration page resonates with you, creates a feeling of excitement or desire, please know that this is a sign from the Divine that you need to be there.
Because you are a follower of The Elegant Life I am giving you “priority registration”. Please don’t spend time “thinking” about whether or not to go as I am only accepting 20 women for this Experience and there are ladies here in Dubai just waiting for the page to be open.
I am also doing many speaking engagements in the next few months and that will most definitely lead ladies to register.
This Experience will be THE BEST GIFT you will ever give to yourself! Trust me on that one! I cannot WAIT for women of every religion, faith, and belief system to evolve and elevate like they never knew possible!
There is an Early Bird Price as well, so be sure to take advantage of that. And better still, if you decide to come with a friend and share a room, your ticket is even less!
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!
Next week we move on to something really powerful. See you next week!
Love,
P.S. If you enjoyed this post and can think of another woman who could benefit from it, please share it with her. Or, simply share it on your Facebook feed! That way more and more women can be touched by The Elegant Life. Thank you!
Ladies!!!! I cannot tell you how excited I am to be back blogging, vlogging and supporting you.
I had an absolutely wonderful 2 month holiday, but there were some challenges that appeared, and I want to share them with you so that you can see how a Spiritual, Elegant woman chooses to move through them.
My kiddies and I first flew to London. I had the opportunity to stay with one of my best friends and visit with my other two besties as well.
How wonderful it was to be openly welcomed, hugged, and cared for. Having close girlfriends was once only a dream. After spiritually evolving so quickly, people I called friends suddenly dropped out of my life. So to meet up with these three beautiful women again meant the absolute world to me.
My kiddies and I swiftly left to travel from London to Calgary. However, due to an unknown Canadian government rule for dual citizens and some extremely unhelpful Air Canada employees, except for one angel, we missed our flight.
The saga that took place is a story I’ve told so many times over the summer, so I won’t go into it all, however we ended up flying to Toronto, only to be held up in security, and then another set of security only to have to run like cheetahs to the terminal which was literally just closing.
We finally landed in Calgary and soon after, my daughter got the flu and a chest infection.
When my hubby arrived he and I went for a special Reconnective Healing session. My intention was “for anything and everything that was still within me, blocking my Divine light, to transmute and be cleared.”
I had been given the clear message before I left for holidays that The Elegant Life would expand even more this year and I needed to ready for it, so when this Reconnective Healing Session entered the picture I said, “Yes”.
While receiving the healing, I heard messages in my awareness like this:
It’s over, Erin. Done. It’s finished now.
“Hmmm, don’t know what that means but… okay”, I thought.
Overcoming Challenges of Health
Later that week I began coughing and feeling unwell. I ended up having to go on antibiotics but still didn’t get better. I was coughing so much that I was bringing up some pretty nasty looking stuff (releasing, clearing, yep!)
I still enjoyed some special moments while my hubby was in Canada with us, but on the final day, when just my kiddies and I were to board a flight from Calgary to London, London to Istanbul then Istanbul to Bodrum…I broke. I asked my sister to please take me to the doctor.
Turns out that this pneumonia was in the exact spot as that pneumonia. That year I had A LOT to clear (oh, just a bit to get over…abuse, grief, restraining order, divorce…) It seems there was a bit left to clear:)
I was prescribed two different antibiotics, got a strong IV to give me energy, and off I set for our flights.
After my pneumonia was fully gone I felt renewed & so much lighter. And what I will share with you next week is what transpired the following month in August.
Stunning is not even the word to describe it….You see, when we clear old programs, old beliefs & old stories within our energetic system we allow more space for all of the intentions we have asked for to elegantly float on in…feeling like we’ve just been touched by magic. Mark your calendar and be sure to join me next week for that post!
Overcoming Challenges: How YOU Can Elegantly do this!
This summer has been a doozy for many people. People are going through major obstacles & challenges and I wanted to share wisdom on how you can see your way through anything. And how after you’ve moved through it, you will see and experience the miracles you were meant to.
As Spiritual women we have TWO choices:
We can experience obstacles and challenges and feel like a victim.
We can say, “Ah, I see there is something to CLEAR within me.” Then, as we clear, we really listen to Divine Inspiration about what we require to do to help us move through this with ease. And, along the way, we energetically become a match to that which we desire.”
When we incessantly talk about our challenges & complain about every thing and every one we simply create more blocks to our light as well as the miracles waiting to manifest.
We don’t learn. We don’t grow. We don’t evolve.
No, we stay stuck, all the while ensuring that more drama will occur.
Because remember: like attracts like. So if you are being negative, more negativity will be brought to you.
This is where free will comes in. It’s not the Divine trying to “punish you” or “test you”. It is simply the Divine allowing you the free will to choose how you desire to live.
Either way, in the end, whether it takes 1 month or 10 years of experiencing the SAME issues over and over again, you will one day get fed up and turn towards LOVE & JOY – and that is the only thing Divine Energy is interested in. Not the time limit.
YOU decide how swiftly and consistently you experience peace and happiness in your life.
I know that is a tough one to swallow, but as I mentioned to my hubby this summer as we were walking,
“Have you ever noticed that whenever you have a problem you’re there?”
So, if overcoming challenges (the Elegant Way) has been on your mind lately, please hear this…
The Universe/God/Source is responding to YOU.
Do you feel emotionally chaotic inside?
Have you always struggled with setting boundaries?
Is there one issue that continues to come up in your life? What is it?
If that issue were not an issue anymore, what would your life be like? How would you feel? What would you be doing? What would you be enjoying?
Do you find it difficult believing in yourself? Your worth? Your capabilities?
Do you find it difficult to give yourself permission to slow down, relax, pamper yourself, go on a retreat, go on a girly holiday, get a spa treatment?
Do you have health problems that keep you from doing work you love? Do you worry that if you get healthy you’ll have to work too hard?
Do you struggle with your weight, feeling beautiful or loving yourself?
Do you struggle financially?
ALL of these issues have a certain frequency and vibration. So because that frequency is being sent out to the Universe from you, unconsciously, what gets sent back is similar experiences or feelings because that is how the law works.
Now, what’s the reason behind the law being set up this way? It’s to provide you with free will. No judgement, just support towards you evolving.
What? How is giving me all this grief supporting me, you ask?
Each experience will come into your life so that you have the OPPORTUNITY to choose a different way and finally become who you require to become in order to begin experiencing the life you TRULY desire.
I love this poem from a buddhist book I received in France….
“Autobiography in Five Chapters”
1) I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost…I am hopeless.
It isn’t my fault. It takes forever to find a way out.
2) I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I’m in the same place.
Bit it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
3) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in…it’s a habit
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
4) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
5) I walk down another street.
-Portia Nelson
This Buddhist book then goes on to say:
The purpose of reflecting on this is to make a real change in the depths of your heart, and to come to learn how to avoid the “hole in the sidewalk,” and how to “walk down another street”. Often this will require a period of retreat and deep contemplation, because only that can truly open our eyes to what we are doing with our lives.
Yes going on a retreat as I did 7 years ago can completely transform your life, however, it is also in the daily practise of what I call, “Coming back HOME & Aligning with Elegant Flow” that you will begin to experience life differently.
Simple Ways of Aligning With Elegant Flow
Every time you see and hear yourself reacting to life in a certain way (and experiencing a certain outcome) become CONSCIOUS of it.
Then, make a CONSCIOUS choice to change your reaction.
Apologise or make it right somehow.
Repeat, “I love you, __________.” (Insert your name here)
Do something to raise your vibration. You can learn 14 of my favourite ways HERE.
Or, do The Elegant Clearing Process™, which can be learned after you’ve gone through The Art of Living Elegantly™.
Spiritual, Elegant Women CHOOSE to live elegantly, and yes, it is a daily process. But the more and more you choose to live this way, the more life becomes elegant.
The Elegant Life is:
When life flows.
Elegantly moving through challenges.
Desires manifest almost effortlessly.
Your heart is almost consistently in a state of Peace & Exquisite Joy & Bliss.
You feel you have beauty and purpose in your life; your Calling is absolutely clear.
You have a deep connection with who and what you really are.
I promise you this… once you become the woman you are required to be by consistently making different choices than you habitually do, whatever your soul has been desiring will come into your life SO easily & elegantly you’ll be absolutely shocked and amazed.
I experience this personally over and over again and so do my clients.
Do we still have challenges in life? Yes, of course, because we are all constantly evolving, it’s never finished. But the process is smoother and quicker, which is really nice, trust me on this one!
If you feel ready to go deeper with this learning and begin the pilgrimage of coming back HOME to elegance, beauty, love, abundance and joy go HERE to learn The Art of Living Elegantly.
With Love,
Erin
