2 Ways to “LET GO & LET GOD” – Surrender Control

Have you every desired something SO much but found it almost impossible to “let go and let God” as everyone suggests?

Then this post is for you!

I am going to share 2 ways to practise the art of letting go and letting God. One is a mindset shift and the other is advice that I bet you’ve not heard before. (Psst…it a theme here on The Elegant Life:)

January is a month where everyone is focused on goals, dreams and DOING.

Plans are made, goal are being set, memberships to gyms are being bought, and the focus is on pursuing, trying and desperately wanting their desire to manifest.

I know this pattern well as it was my “go-to” strategy my whole life! Set a goal, make a plan, push, pursue, obsess…you get the picture!  The energy I was giving off was one of desperation and lack – not very elegant and definitely not a high frequency for manifesting!

This is completely opposite from what I do now and teach my clients to do.

And…this is exactly what Buddha did before he experienced enlightenment and true happiness.

Many people know the story of how Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree and awakened, however not many people know WHY he ended up sitting under that tree. He was in the same trap I was in and perhaps you find yourself too?

Watch the video above, at minute 2:54, to hear the real reason Buddha sat under the bodhi tree.

2 Steps to “Let Go and Let God”

Step 1: Surrender.

As you can see from Buddha’s story, pushing, trying and pursuing does not serve us. We must understand the Elegant Principle of the Universe:

As soon as you state your intention, Divine Consciousness sets to work to orchestrate everything needed to bring you your desire.”

The problem arises, for most women, when they don’t see any change in their reality and thus start doubting, feeling down, and obsessing even more on trying to figure out “the HOW”.

Spiritual Women who live elegantly, instead, focus on just BEING & await Divine Inspiration.

Do not attach. I’ll repeat that, “Do not attach to the outcome”. 

Should we even have desires? Yes! Desires are feelings and feelings come directly from your Soul, which is your connection to the Divine. So yes! You wouldn’t have those desires if you weren’t intended to experience them!

However,  instead of obsessing, spend your time & energy visualising your dream. See it vividly, in the greatest detail. FEEL it. Then…

let go and let god

Step 2: Get on With Living Your Life (filling it with JOY & PLEASURE)

I know I know, I harp on this regularly, but trust me, it’s the secret of experiencing The Elegant Life!

If someone would have told me this years ago, when I was in the obsessing mode, I would have thought, “Yeah, easy for you to say!” It was only when I reached mental and physical exhaustion that I finally said,

Screw this! If success means I have to work this hard and be disappointed countless times then I don’t want it. I’m done. I’ll just do this as a hobby out of enjoyment instead of trying to make it a business.”

After I made that conscious decision I felt the weight of the world drop off me.

I began feeling my creativity come out more. I did things I was too scared to do before, out of fear it would “upset” my followers.

I felt the pleasure in what I was doing again- the same pleasure I felt when I first started that business!

And what began happening? Opportunities just flowed into my life like magic. Calls for interviews in top national and international magazines and newspapers, ideal clients coming to me from referrals...the list went on and on. I learned what Buddha did and I invite you to learn it too…

The more you let go and let god (aka surrender) the more you allow Divine energy to do it’s work and flow through you and your life.

All that obsessive energy will be gone as will the manifestation of things and experiences on that same frequency.

Instead, you’ll be resonating at the levels of PEACE & JOY which are just under that of enlightenment – levels that bring in high vibration, exquisite miracles.

Please share your stories of when and how YOU have “let go and let God” – I know it will help so many women.

Do you know there are certain areas of your life where you need to Surrender? Share those too.

Recommendation

If you would like a perfect way of focusing on your dreams the elegant way and feeling joy and inner peace now, then I highly recommend The 6 Phase Visioning Meditation.

With so much love,

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 Negative Energy is Holding You Back & How to Clear it

“I would do that if_____________.” Have you ever said this?

I would do that if I felt better.

I would do that if I didn’t have to look after my kids.

I would do that if I lost 20 pounds.

I would do that if my boss wasn’t so…

I would do that if I knew how to……

How many times do we as women turn away from our Calling? Loads. How do I know this? I’ve been coaching women from around the world for 10 years AND I used to be a woman who consistently rejected her soul’s true Calling.

For those of you who have followed me you may be thinking, “What? Look what you’ve done over your lifetime? You’ve taught around the world, lived in France, written a book, created multiple online businesses? How can you say this?”

Well…

Underneath everything I have done in my life, there was always, always a yearning to really connect with the Universe and have a huge impact on people’s lives. I am not sure I even knew WHY, I just had this strong, innate desire to! (aka “my Calling”, but I didn’t know this back then)

Throughout my life I accomplished things that consistently allowed me to do my Calling to a certain level yet deep down there always felt like more. I got side tracked the odd time due to my incessant need to prove myself; that I was good enough & worthy enough.

I used to feel such comparison with my sister who was the natural achiever. She didn’t have to try, she was just naturally gifted at school, piano, poetry, speaking. You name it, she won an award for it. And as a result I felt less than. Not special enough. Not appreciated enough.

So as many women do, we go on with our lives living with a certain amount of negative energy and limiting beliefs within us.

And this holds us back from acknowledging & knowing our Calling as well as feeling worthy enough to accept our Calling…

And therefore, we move through our lives feeling:

  • held back
  • anxious
  • unfulfilled
  • nervous
  • resentful
  • exhausted & overwhelmed
  • scared
  • frustrated

You name it! And the reason why is because we KNOW we are meant for more in our life.

Our soul feels it. Craves it. Desires it. Yearns for it!

But…we come up with fantastic, very logical reasons why we can’t, and these very logical reasons keep those yearning feelings pushed down for a while, but…

They’ll always come back again, because a Calling is a Calling, and you were created to fulfil it, so the feeling will never leave you.

You may never DO your calling, but it will always BE there, yearning to be fulfilled. (That’s the definition of a tragedy in my opinion)

How to Move Forward When Negative Energy is Blocking You

The FIRST question to answer is…How did I go from feeling completely happy, fulfilled, blissful, whole and connected to the Divine after my life changing year in France

to feeling hopeless, totally disconnected, profoundly depressed and completely lost 14 years later?

How is that even possible? Well…I had reached a level of evolution and was required to evolve some more. In fact little did I know, this evolution was to be THE most profound spiritual experience I could have ever believed or wished for.

What happened?

Well, I’ll save that story for another time, but the short version was that a friend of mine asked if I would allow her to practise a clearing technique on me.  She was training in it and needed some practise hours.

In the middle of our session she found an area that had some negative energy blocked so told me to “tone”. It’s like saying , “Ahhhhhhhhh”. The problem was that I couldn’t. I literally could not get a sound out! Watch the video above at minute 3:00 to see me demonstrate this bizarre experience.

After multiple tries my friend said, “Erin, when you finally release this you’ll be free”. I’ll never forget those words because at that moment that is really what I wanted – to be free from all the horrible unhappiness and depression I was feeling inside.

The BIG Clearing that Occurred!

After the session I went home to England and felt better, more open, but still felt that yearning to clear what I hadn’t been able to. So, when my friend emailed me a couple of months later saying that there was going to be a 6 Day Retreat where we would be doing A LOT of clearing my hubby and I said, “YES!”

This too is a long story that will be told (definitely at The Elegant Life Retreat I’ll be hosting in late May) but for now I’ll give you the short version.

One day during the beginning of the retreat I felt extremely down.  I felt like I was so far from ever being able to feel the way I desired, that I didn’t “get” how this Universe worked and that the connection with my Divinity was almost non-existent.

The negative energy inside of me was huge. So much so that I went up to my room and wrote in my Journal all the frustrations I was feeling. I really didn’t want to go back down for the afternoon session but my husband came to get me and persuaded me to finish what we started.

We did another clearing and while I lay there afterwards I had THE most profound experience of my life. My physical body dissolved and I was at one with Consciousness – the energy of me was in union with the All energy- Divine Consciousness. I struggle to share what I felt because it is indescribable, but I sometimes say, “I had a near death experience without dying.”

I remember feeling like, “I never want to leave here” and I could hear my physical self saying, “Wooooowww”.

negative energy

Right after this I went up to my room and had downloaded to me Universal truths of how this Universe works, why we’re here, what we’re supposed to be doing and HOW to do it, how to manifest the life we want, how to experience this feeling of bliss consistently and more.

I had a KNOWING that:

a) We are part of this all encompassing Divine energy

b) We all have a Calling and when we clear the clutter and negative energy that exists in us we are able to live out that Calling and live Heaven on Earth.

When You Clear Negative Energy Your World Opens Up

Since that time 6 or 7 years ago, I have opened up even more and fully accepted who I was created to BE in this lifetime- A Spiritual Teacher of Divine Truths.

Last year I was told by Consciousness that The Elegant Life needed to expand even more. It needed to help women awaken and come back HOME to their Divinity, to assist them in reconnecting with Consciousness but also to fully accept and LOVE who they’ve been made to be and what their Calling is in this lifetime.

I’ll be sharing more about this in the coming weeks. (Squeal!)

A Gorgeous Sign That I am Truly Fulfilling my Calling

This summer, I travelled to the location I had been guided to host The Elegant Life Retreat in order to test it out and see if it really was the right location.

All I can say is….WOW! I will share this most exquisite story with you another time but if you watch the video above from minute 10:00-14:00 you’ll see a video I took in this location that gave me shivers, warmth, & utter surety that yes, Erin, this is it. This is it. And you are on the right path of fulfilling your Calling.

Now it’s YOUR turn! If you’ve been feeling a deep desire to BE more, DO more, or EXPERIENCE more in your life this is the time to Find Your Calling and Clear any Negative Energy that is blocking you from doing that.

I’m SO excited for you!

Life is about to get really, really Beautiful.

With so much love,

How to Find Your Calling – PART 1 & PART 2

Forget Finding Your Purpose! You Need to Learn How to Find Your Calling.

Do you ever wonder whether or not you’re living your PURPOSE? Or whether you even have a purpose?

I have spoken to SO many women who either feel lost and confused about what their purpose is or simply depressed that they still haven’t found it.

The simple, elegant truth is that it’s not your purpose you should be focusing on, it’s your Calling.

You see I too used to focus on discovering my exact purpose in life. It felt finite – a place to find and then achieve. (Former Type A Personality for ya!)

When I finally had the Spiritual Truths downloaded to me, after attending a Spiritual Retreat, I understood that the only purpose any of us have is to expand Consciousness.

The Universe itself is continuously expanding. In fact, current research by cosmologists indicates that the universe may expand to eternity!

Now, since we come from this Source, this Consciousness, we too innately have within us the inclination to expand.

So, our Purpose is to expand Consciousness, but the way in which we help this Consciousness expand is through our Calling.

Each of us has our own unique Calling that is signature to us.

What IS a Calling?

The dictionary definition is: a strong urge towards a particular way of life or career; a vocation.

A more Spiritual definition is: The signature programming of your soul by which you help Consciousness expand itself.

An Elegant description would be: Something that you innately share with others that causes them to Experience, Be or Realise something.

2 Steps to Find Your Calling

Step 1:

Look back over your life and remember the happiest moments of you sharing something.

Notice how without you consciously “doing” anything, people experienced things like beauty, love, freedom, wholeness… just by interacting with you.

Can you remember feeling lit up, fulfilled, joyous and totally present? This will give you clues into your calling.

Has anyone ever complimented you on something that felt easy for you?

Has anyone ever said something to you that stuck in your head for years?

For me, I was raised in the Catholic faith. I didn’t connect with all the rules and protocol but I did connect with Jesus. He seemed to embody the characteristics of a kind, loving human and I looked to him as a role model as to how I wanted to be.

Then my mind was expanded by a powerful experience involving my puppy.

While my family was visiting some friends, my puppy ran off after being put outside by my father for peeing on the friend’s sofa. When we went to let him back in the house we couldn’t find him. We looked for DAYS, in a forest that surrounded this friend’s secluded home.

I was devastated.

Out of desperation, the mother of the family said, “Gosh, too bad we don’t know a physic.”

My mother instantly remembered one that she had heard about back where we lived. They called this physic and she described exactly where he was (on top of a hill in a field that used to be where a crop of hemp had grown, in a clearing like a small animal would rest in.)

Our friend knew exactly where this was so we drove the long distance to get there, decided to created a straight line and all walk forward.

I walked straight then all of a sudden heard a whimpering sound.

“Lucky?” “Lucky?” I cried out.

More whimpering came until I peeked around a tree and there, in a clearing, on a little patch of flattened out grass was my precious puppy.

I ran to him and called loudly to the others. We were beyond overjoyed!  I really could not believe that he was exactly where that lady said he was.

From that pivotal moment, I began investigating how people could know things when they were in a completely different place.

What did this lady tap into in order to know this? I wondered.

And so my Spiritual understandings evolved.

As I evolved I found that I adored helping people. Every time I helped a classmate with something they struggled with I felt so whole, so fulfilled, so overcome with JOY & happiness.

When I was a teenager, a meditation teacher who could read people’s energies and auras, pointed to me and said,

“You. You my dear are going to do some beautiful things in this world.”

“I am?” I thought. I knew I wanted to be a school teacher, but what was going to be so special about me?

I ended up becoming a a high profile teacher who could turn around troubled children, help extremely shy children become unbelievably confident and help the average child become their best, most confident self.

Now, during my life I experienced quite a bit of trauma; abuse of all kinds, divorce, grief…and through all of that, the feeling that grew was DEEP empathy for people.

My constant statement was:

“You can never judge someone as you don’t know what they’ve been through.”

Later, I found myself in France, yearning for happiness. That’s all I wanted, but after going through one of the most difficult years of my life, I didn’t know HOW to be happy.

This is when my yoga teacher “friend”, Guy, introduced me to Buddhism. It was here that I learned how to embody the attributes of abundance, compassion, peace, health etc. Embodying these attributes gifts you an inner fulfilment so great that you begin to glow from the inside out.

I was finally able to walk around BEING these attributes instead of just wishing for them.

It was at this time that an internationally renowned Buddhist Lama honoured me by giving me the Spiritual name “Karma Changchun Paldra”, meaning “Radiant Light of Enlightenment Mind”.

meditation in france

I later became a parenting coach, helping stressed, overwhelmed, & exasperated parents to be the parent (and person) they desired to be.

The one comment I received from all my coaching clients and friends was always, “You are SO easy to talk to!” or, “I haven’t shared this with anyone, you are the first.”

And so on and so on and so on…can you see a pattern?

  • I LOVED helping people.
  • People have always, always opened up to me on a deep level after being in my presence for only a couple of minutes.
  • I experienced great trauma which gifted me the ability to understand people in a completely compassionate way.
  • I was gifted teachings that allowed me to understand  how to be happy and feel fulfilled.
  • The Universe provided opportunities for me to learn & understand Divine Truths
  • I was given the natural ability to teach & inspire

Now, let’s move on to exactly how to state what your calling is.

Step 2:

Write in a brief statement what people naturally experience as a result of being in your presence or when they interact with you.

Complete this statement:

People Experiencing _________.

Other forms of this are:

People Realising _____________.

People Being _____________.

Word that might fill in the blank are:

  • freedom
  • love
  • beauty
  • abundance
  • unity within family
  • everything is possible
  • oneness with God/Source/the Divine

For me, I would write:

People experiencing unity & oneness with their Divinity.

In a retreat I’ll be hosting in May I’ll be going more deeply into how to find your Calling and how to weave it into your entire life and career, but for now, go through these two simple steps.

It will give you the ability to consciously come to every relationship or person you encounter and KNOW & FEEL that you are fulfilling your purpose AND your calling.

With so much love,
