As of Feb. 1,  2010, Just Allow It is going to have a new home in Wilmette, IL.  The address is 297 Green Bay Rd. and is located just South of Jewel Foods.

This location is easily accessible to residence of the North Shore and 15 minutes from the Chicago border.  I will also be available at my current Chicago location.

From finding the location to the point of opening has been a wonderful example of what happens when you allow everything to be the way it is, stay present and follow the flow.  In a future post, I will share more details about this.

“I keep trying but wellness doesn’t come.   What’s wrong with me?  What am I doing wrong?  What else can I do to get well?”

These are all questions that I receive from clients and have at some point in my life asked myself.  First, there is nothing wrong with you at all.  Next, “trying” and “doing” are sure ways to keep you from wellness!

Wellness is located in the same place that you will find peace, joy and unconditional love.  OK…so where is that place?  It’s called awareness, stillness or be-ing-ness.  It’s always there and has always been there.  The problem is that your mind, which is not You but a tool, points you outside of yourself to look for the elusive wellness. Wellness is within you, but outside of your mind!  What??  Confused yet?

When you go outside your mind, which is awareness, then You can observe your thoughts from a very different perspective.  This allows for different possibilities, which have always been there, to show up in your life. Wellness is always there….we just have to allow it to blossom.  There is nothing to do, try or control!  Sorry mind! Your mind doesn’t want to hear this because it thinks it needs to control everything.  That’s why you may find your mind trying to fight you on this.

Tennis anyone?

You may not be aware of it, but there is a 17 year old tennis player getting a lot of attention this week at The US Open.  She seems to have come out of nowhere and is now in the quarter finals after beating three top seeded players.  What does this have to do with Law of Attraction or Wellness?

Everything!!!  Why is she doing so well?  One of the stories about this young lady, Melanie Oudin, is that when shoes were made for her, her boyfriend suggested that instead of putting her name on them, they should be made with the word “BELIEVE” printed on them.  “BELIEVE” is printed on them and she does believe that she can compete against any of the players.

I saw the most beautiful sunrise over Lake Michigan this morning!

I often see the sunrise, but the colors and the flat water were exceptional today.  I was walking my dog, Akiba, and watching the sun come up. We walked behind an area where there were some large boulders.  I could see the sun, which had risen above the boulders, and part of this narrow path of light on the water.  But, I couldn’t see this path of light completely.  It was amazingly stunning over the flat water and I wanted to line up with it.  So, I quickly walked past the boulders hoping that when I got around them I would sill be in line with this amazing ray of light.  When I was on the other side of the boulders, I still was in complete alignment with this ray of light.  In fact, as I continued to walk, I would remain in complete alignment with the ray.

This made me realize a few things.  We are always on “the path”!  No matter how it looks or where we are, we are always moving along “the path”.  And when obstacles appear, it doesn’t mean that we are off “the path”.  It just means that we cannot see “the path” completely.  But rest assured, we are still there!  If you look past the obstacles, you can still see the way to the Sun or Source.  And if you move a bit (shift your perspective) the path becomes much clearer.

Not bad for one sunrise, eh?  That’s one check mark on the list of miracles that I ALLOWED myself to receive today!

How does it get better than this?

How do you get out of the loop that you allow your mind to keep you in?

I recently went through a phase where I got myself into one of those loops and it felt big and I could not shift my thoughts out of it.  I think we have all been there at some point in our lives.  For me, I felt like a two headed monster!  I was submerged in those negative thoughts (and for me the big issue is worthiness) and at the same time, I was observing those thoughts thinking how much I understand the Law of Vibration and the necessity to shift them.  To make it more interesting, I added self abuse thoughts like “I should know better” and “How can I teach this material when I can’t even get out of this with all I know”!

In the past when I found myself in one of these thought loops, the only thing that seemed to help me shift would be when some other big or bigger incident happen to take my attention away.  You know the fastest way to help your finger that hurts is to stub your toe!!! Read on …
