Overcoming Challenges: How to Do it The Elegant Way

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.

To read how I manifested these 3 beautiful friends read, “How to Elegantly Attract Quality Friends”

Overcoming Challenges at the Airport

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.

Well… turns out I had pneumonia.

Now, those of you ladies who have read or watched the Series I did on, “The Making of a Spiritual Woman: A Pilgrimage that Began in Paris” know that I had pneumonia at that time as well.

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.

overcoming challenges

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:

  1. We can experience obstacles and challenges and feel like a victim.
  2. 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?”

overcoming challenges

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:

  1. When life flows.
  2. Elegantly moving through challenges.
  3. Desires manifest almost effortlessly.
  4. Your heart is almost consistently in a state of Peace & Exquisite Joy & Bliss.
  5. You feel you have beauty and purpose in your life; your Calling is absolutely clear.
  6. 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

The Making of a Spiritual Woman: Video #22 (Pneumonia & The Buddhist Temple)

Chere Diary,

Am I superficial because Guy’s clothing style turns me off and he doesn’t have the thick, dark hair I desire?

I’m feeling really confused and just want to be alone for a while.

Last night Sandra, Guy and I went to the movie, “Le Pire et la Meillure” with Jack Nicholson.  It was a great movie.

After the movie Guy asked if I wanted to come up to his place, but I was so into being alone that I said no.

I know Guy felt my state of confusion because the next day he asked me what I was feeling yesterday.

I explained (kind of) and he understood that I needed time alone.

The next morning I woke up and felt fantastic.  God, I LOVE being alone, doing what I want, when I want.  I watched program after program on TV, listened to music, sang, ate…

Then later I went for a walk with Sandra and Guy.  After the walk Sandra and I went back to her place and cooked while listening to Andrea Bochelli.

We ate, talked and drank tea until 6am!!

We covered every topic under the sun.  It felt amazing to connect and bond with her again.

The next day Guy came to pick me up because I have la grippe (the flu); he said he’d take care of me.

He treated me like I’ve always dreamed.  He prepared a beautiful meal for me and prepared sage tea for me since I also have my period; sage tea is supposedly good for women who have their period. What a guy!

He then cuddled me, prepared a pillow and blanket for me and told me to take a nap. Then he meditated beside me and all I felt was complete compassion and understanding.

I woke up and he gave me a back, neck and face massage with tiger balm oil. I wanted to cry and out of my mouth almost came,

“Why do you care for me so much???”

He stares at me with such love in his heart.  I know exactly how he feels and that I am the ONLY one for him. Something I never felt from Matt.

I respect myself for realizing what I needed from Matt and that he wasn’t giving me.

It’s so important to know who you are and what you really require.

Got to go to sleep as I feel so sick and exhausted.

_________________________________________

Chere Diary,

What a week I’ve had.  I have never been so sick.  I literally lay on my back for a week without moving. Except to go to the doctor.  I have pneumonia.  I’m getting better now with the medication, but this week Sandra, Guy and I had planned on going to the Buddhist Centre in Bretagne and I really didn’t want to miss it.

I went but spent most of the time sleeping in the car or in different rooms in the temple.

One night I felt a bit better so Guy asked if I’d be well enough to come to the special ceremony they were having. He said he had a surprise for me.

I DO love a surprise so I mustered up some energy to go.  He was very proud at being “dressed up” but it SO wasn’t attractive.  I like a man who has real style. God Erin, this is terrible of you! You shouldn’t care about this!

All of a sudden, Guy walked on stage and said,

Cette chanson est dédiée à une personne très spéciale. Elle s’appelle “la Paix” en l’honneur de son nom et de son essence.”

(This song is dedicated to a very special person.  It’s titled, “PEACE” in honour of her name and her essence.)

Guy had always loved the fact that my name, Erin, meant Peace.  He said it was my essence and that I exuded it.

How in the world could this man love me so much and all I’m thinking right now is, “His pants are too short and that orange vest has got to go!”

Later that night I lay in bed and thought to myself, “Guy is getting so unbelievably serious and with my state of mind lately, I have to end things.”

I feel like I’m staying with him because he loves me so much and I don’t want to hurt him.  But, even though he has helped me heal and grow and open up to what I really want from a relationship, I know deep in my heart that he isn’t THE ONE.

I just got out of a 9 year intense relationship and the last thing I want to do is get into something else that I’m not fully sure about and miss all the other gifts that my time in France can give me.

Plus, I miss just being with Sandra.  I miss being carefree and not having someone intensely stare at me all the time.

I promised myself that “This Year is For Me” In fact, I wrote it at the beginning of this journal and I have to honor myself.  No more doing things to make or keep other people happy.

When he drops me off at home I’m going to tell him.

Join me tomorrow HERE when I share what happens when we as women honour our desires and true knowingness inside…the Universe responds VERY quickly with “gorgeous” gifts – pun intended:)
