PLACEBO OR NOCEBO - WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

Astrologically, the predictions seem to centre around the perception that life between July and December will be a little easier for many; easier and less complex as well as offering an opportunity to live more authentically and be authentic, whatever that may mean to each individual.

I have always had an interest in astrology and while many tell me that it is non-scientific and is more a 'playing field' that is based on bias etc, I can't help feeling that energetically we feel and are influenced by the subtle energy of the cosmos.

Whether that is 'true' or not is for each and every individual to decide. 

Each person is the ultimate placebo (some, a nocebo) aren't they? Think about and embrace a belief with all of the senses,it becomes a part of your 'truth' irrespective of what others believe. 

Swallow the blue 'pill' that life offers truly believing in your heart that this blue 'pill' will create a great life for you, that is what you will experience - a great life. 

The converse is also true ie swallow that same blue pill yet BE the slightest bit hesitant, have self-doubt AND BELIEVE that life is hard and will always be a challenge, you create that very scenario - a perceived hard life and challenges throughout life.

So the question is "What do your current life 

experiences tell you about what your beliefs 

are about the life 'pill' you have swallowed?"

The thing is, it has nothing to do with the Pill we swallow and EVERYTHING to do with what we BELIEVE the Pill will do (or not do) -  that holds the power.

This is true of every area of your life - AND 

it is YOU that holds the power; it is YOU 

that determines you internal environment 

and external environment. 

So, if astrology tells me that life is becoming easier and I have the energetic support of the planets to be more authentic, I TAKE THAT BELIEF, EMBRACE IT & ENJOY IT!!

WHEN I SQUEEZE YOU, WHAT WILL I GET?

"One of the simplest ways to discover how you truly see yourself is to take a good look at what it is you are getting back."

Oooh, bit hard to take this sometimes, isn't it?? 

Not always - but sometimes it is, particularly when we seem to be getting negative reactions from people and situations all around us.

It is true though; what comes out of you is what is inside you......it is the Law of Cause & Effect. We bring back to us that which we put out into the world.


It's like when you squeeze an orange, the only thing you can get is orange juice, true?

So it is with each individual.

If doubt is the dominant emotion, then that low vibration, that low sense of self and that negative emotion will return to you time and again, particularly when you are 'squeezed' by some situation or someone.

If fun is dominant inside you then that vibration, that light sense of self and more positive emotion will return similar vibratory experiences.


What comes out of you - what vibration is dominant within you? 


Is it more negative in relation to you or is it more positive; is it a sense of stability and confidence or is it self-doubt, fear, angst?

Here is a little exercise:

Ask yourself the following questions:

If I had a different perception about (whatever the situation is that you are facing) what would it be?

How would I behave?

What lesson am I being offered here?

Am I being offered this lesson over & over again in a number areas of life?

How can I make use of this opportunity to move forward?

Enjoy! Only you can make a difference to how you experience things!

WORRY - A CURSE ON THE BODY'S PHYSIOLOGY!

Being constantly anxious and worrying affects our physiology; it affects the heart, circulation, the nervous system. It unsettles us and creates internal imbalance, often manifesting in reactive behaviour. Anxiety, worry and doubt can knock you around and attack your sense of self and your self-worth.

A great definition of worry is:

"........ a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained."                                                                                     Arthur Somers Roche

Worry is fear and fear is often an incomplete picture or a perception from a past experience believed to be true. Fear is emotion based on incomplete awareness.
 

Fear can be described as 'false expectation appearing real'. Associated worry or anxiety is based on a story that you have told yourself and have repeated over and over to yourself so that it has become a way of being for you.
 

Anxiety then becomes a negative habit of thinking that serves to reinforces a negative sub-conscious message and if allowed to continue, 'worry' really does 'cut a channel' in the brain by way of myelinating neuronal pathways over and over. It blocks us from allowing a complete awareness to emerge.

Constant worry, anxiety depresses the immune system.
 

So here's a suggestion: 

• find what the action was that triggered the fear or worry or angst.

• Write down as many ways as you can think of that, that very same action (that triggered you to feel anxious), actually assists you or someone else in some way. - WRITE all those things them down - don't just think about them - write them down in order to get a complete awareness.

Your perception will alter, your worry / anxiety will decrease.

Your physiology will thank you. You will begin creating different neural pathways in your brain.
