Feeling Like a Hanging Squirrel

I thought I must send the following onto you because it illustrates so well what I’ve been taking about over the last few weeks. This is about a client who works in the Middle East and has had some really troublesome things happen over the last year or so. But she has hung in there, listened to me and her own wisdom and it’s all come through for her.

Read on. I think you’ll find her responses enlightening, and remember she’s no differnet from the rest of us, she has the same hopes, fears and desires as we all do, they just manifest themselves slightly differently, that’s all.
As you read the messages, take note of the dates and times between them.
When we pu

t what we want out there, the changes can be dramatic!

Andrew Andrew! when I saw this I thought ‘how does he know!!!’ hhaha.

I have had such drama, lost my job, trying so so hard to get another one, going to every interview, trying my hardest. S….. having a nightmare also, nearly had a nervous breakdown. We are in touch but haven’t seen him in ages. Am hoping to go home soon (ed: to UK) for a break and see him then. It is odd when bad things happen to me, they happen to him and when I feel low I find out he is the same. Get this, once I nearly sent him a text about how I was feeling like a hanging squirrel! Then I didn’t send it as I thought he would think I was mad, only to open an email from him saying he was feeling like going off to be a hanging squirrel! I couldn’t believe my eyes. All in all a very stressful time but trying to get through it with as much positive thinking as I can muster, in between the odd crying fit of being homesick and very worried.

Really hope things are much much better with you!  I CANNOT believe you have been in Canberra 6 months. Hope the move is going great guns!

You take care, All the best, S…….

Hi Andrew, Thanks for your respone, good advice as always. Have you every thought of contacting The discovery channel? They often have really good programs about unusual stuff and I reckon what you are doing would be a nice feature for them? I really really do. I emailed you about this a while ago but I am not sure you ever got the email.

BTW I got an amazing new job, my DREAM job, yesterday – 3 hours after I went to the interview. They loved me and have offered for me to start immediately. I told S…… it is his turn next, good things will happen for him too. And I am seeing him next week in UK I am SO SO excited. Can’t wait to give him a hug and a kiss – and the rest!!! He is such a sweetheart.

Take care

Hi Andrew,  You’ll never guess what re jobs, I just got a counter offer – so now it is I who have to decide on which job I want!!!! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT!! Take care.

If you’re connected you’ll get your messages exactly when you need them.

The feedback from my last report to you has been amazing and I thank you all for your responses. You are great and your insights are inspiring.

One response from a subscriber named Andrew (he must be a he’ll of a guy with a name like that) really got me thinking and I’d like to share my thoughts with you.

Andrew told me how my weekly newsletters come to him at a very synchronistic time and the topics, for him, are really valuable, especially the timing of the topic for what he has going on in his life. He says it’s as though I have been discussing with him his challenges that day and I’ve given him strategies for changes for those strategies. The only thing is, Andrew hasn’t talked to me. I kind of know him but not that well.

So what’s this about? Is this happening only to Andrew?

No it’s not. It’s happening to all of us all the time, if only we spend the time and listen. You see, when we’re tuned in and living in the now, we’re connected to a little thing called the Universe (or God, Buddha, the Creator, Jesus, or whatever you call your higher being if you have one). When we are connected like this it means we are connected to everything around us as well. That connection could mean getting goose bumps when a baby laughs, feeling all warm and cosy when you’re ‘close’ to your partner, or feeling over come when you look at the sun rising. Or it may mean having tears forming when you hear a beautiful and heartwarming story, or getting all chocked up when you see one of those ‘feel good’ videos on the Internet. Are you starting to understand the emotional feelings I’m talking about?

What this means is, and it can be a hard concept to grasp, that when we are connected to the universe and allowing ourselves to ‘be’ in that special space of ‘in the now’ we connect to everyone and everything around us. It’s as if everyone we know, is working for us and we are working for them. This means that there is no judgement, no paybacks and no debt. Any debt or value is not regarded as that, it is stored somewhere in the Universe as karma and is completely unknown to us, and the more we keep connected and doing and working on ourselves and others in this way helps our karma.

Imagine that! A system that tracks our merit points automatically without the help (or hinderance) of accounting systems, taxation agencies, social security numbers or big brother. And it comes about by simply attaching ourselves to a belief that we are connected to each other.

Pretty immaculate, eh!

Until next time,

Have the best outstanding day.

What’s with all the stuff going on?

I’ve had a couple of emails and conversations with people over the last few weeks about all the stuff that’s going on at the moment. And by ‘stuff’ I mean earthquakes and global unrest right down to your ‘stuff’, the crap that you’re going through at the moment.

Well, my first comment is “Get used to it!”, it’s not going to go away.

Have you noticed how quickly we’ve sped through this year? I have, it only seemed like a few weeks ago I was telling people about my move to Canberra, and here I am, I’ve been here just on six months.

What I’d like you to do is think about it this way. What do you think would happen if you got all the emotional stuff that’s going on (i.e. political changes in the Middle East) and all the natural disasters and squeezed them into a tighter timeframe? There would be the perception that there is more happening wouldn’t there? Where 200 years ago we got a tidal wave every  20 years, now we’re getting one every 3 months type of thing.

Now add to this our own personal life and you get some interesting things begin to happen. What I’m seeing and hearing, when it comes down to this singular personal form, is that it manifests itself into our relationships, i.e. things are happening to people every day and the things are predominantly to do with our relationships. The relationships I’m talking about are with our loved ones, work colleagues, friends, our bosses, in fact, any one we have day to day dealings with.

And it’s here that things get tough because in our society we tend to externalise relationship challenges that come our way. What we really need to do is take a step back and look at ourselves and ask ourselves  “Was this of my doing?”, to which we may answer “Maybe.”

But what about the earthquakes in Japan and Christchurch? Was this your doing? No, of course not. All you need do with these global events is examine your life and where it fits into the event, nothing more. Slow down and take the time to think about yourself for a few minutes. When there is an earthquake, or flood, or wind etc, think about how it effects you. Does it effect you? The fact that you watch the broadcasts on TV, is that helping you cope? Do you really think you need to watch that sort of detail? I would say no. You don’t (It’s why I don’t watch TV or read newspapers, except to do Sudoku).

And the same goes for your relationships with partners, friends, colleagues, etc. Most of what they do is none of your business. All this emotional drama that you have in your life comes about because we meddle in other people’s business. So, be kind to yourself. If someone tells you something think about the consequences for you (not them) and be as positive and happy that these people are a part of your life and how lucky are you to have all these fantastic people in your life!

I often think about the modern world and it’s fantastic communication systems. They really are amazing, TV news almost as it happens, the internet, phone systems, incredible! These systems switch us straight through to what’s happening in the world, instantly. Then I think about global communications 50 or 100 years ago. If there was a tornado in the mid-west of the USA I wouldn’t hear about it for weeks or even months. Most of the damage would have been reparied before I even got to hear about it. There wouldn’t be much scope for personal involvement then would there.

Before I go, I would like to give you some significant dates that are coming up soon. We never know how these dates will manifest themselves until the actual event, (if there is an event).

If you’re not into this sort of stuff, tune out now.

• 17 August 2011 Very challenging time for all of us.
• 11 September 2011 Turbulent time
• 27 September 2011 Three days of darkness (not sure what that means)
• 3 October 2011 Dust and fallout
• 17 October 2011 Something or someone is too close
• 28 October 2011 Final day of the Mayan Calendar
• 5 November 2011 Fallout
• 11 November 2011 All those elevens, follow your instinct
• 23 November 2011 Eclipse lots of change.

These dates are for information only. Let’s face it, if something big happens there will be nothing we can do except say “I told you so…..”

Until next time

Have the best outstanding day.

Andrew
