Tools--The bridge

I have been looking for "The Bridge" recently. I feel I have so much to say and so much to give but because I am in my own little world most of the time I have not been able to find a way to reach those that I can give to.

I have been asked by spirit/my higher self to be very, very quiet lately. No steady job, no projects, no volunteering, no-thing! I have followed the breadcrumbs and they have lead me to my own personal Christmas!!! There are so many things that happened and so many ways that I got there so I won't go into all of it, but I indeed found my 'bridge'.

I am a spiritual counselor/life coach and have been having tremendous success with people when they are lead to me. But I haven't been getting a volume of people coming to me. I know it's because I haven't been reaching most people to get them to connect with me in the first place. I knew that there needed to be a 3-D level on which I could relate and feel good about that I could reach them at in order to connect us. However, I hold honesty and being true to myself in such high regard, I was never willing to be fake or 'sell out' in order to bring people to myself. I always saw that as something that wouldn't get me the people I really should connect with anyway, and that I certainly wasn't practicing what I preached if I did something I was uncomfortable with to enable me to make that connection.

I used to be in advertising sales a long time ago and I was great at it. I told people only what they really needed and what I really knew in my heart was beneficial for them. Beyond that, I was not a 'salesperson.' I was much more of an advertising mentor or counselor really. And my clients believed me and trusted me because they knew I was not trying to sell them something they didn't need just for my own gain. Well then my boss got greedy and started giving me sales goals to hit. And they got higher and higher because he knew I was good. Well, that's when it went downhill. I no longer enjoyed what I was doing because I could not please my boss while being true to myself and my clients. I got uncomfortable and the business was getting collecions calls anyway, so I left.

Sorry, I digress.

The purpose for that brief story was to illustrate just how uncomfortable it is for me to fit into the 'old' systems of being motivated by greed and money only and not being true to one's self.

So anyway, back to the 'bridge'....

I finally found a way to reach people that was something I could get into and get behind. A way to reach them where I didn't feel like I was 'hooking' anyone or being less than real with them or myself. So many people it seems do not want to put in the work it takes to be well and whole. That's why going to a spiritual counselor/life coach is not so appealing. It is much more appealing to people to go to the doctor, lawyer, psychic, healer, etc. who can give them the magic answer and sprinkle fairy dust on them to make everything all better without them having to put in one bit of effort. Well, that's not how it works and WE all know that, but I'm finding most people don't. So they go to doctor after doctor and healer after healer and teacher after teacher to give them the magic pill. "It's got to be out there!" they think. "I'll just keep looking until I find it!" Not realizing that without committing to some hard inner-work, they will never be whole. It is not something anyone can do for them. All of the people they are going to can serve as tools on their journey to themselves, but ultimately it is their journey.

But could they use a little help to see past this? Do they just not know that that's not the way it works? If someone really sat down with them and opened their eyes to the fact that the secret of harmony is to do your own work, would they be so grateful? I think so. I think so many would be so grateful to be leveled with and to be given the chance to understand sooner than later that magic pills don't work and finding and living your inner truth is all that will.

So I wanted to find that 'bridge'--- to help ease the time spent in suffering for all of those who just don't know any better. To those that watch tv and read newspapers and listen to their government and believe that their world is only what is fed to them. It's the story of the 2 elephants who were chained to poles as babies and as they grew they were given weaker and weaker leashes until they had none but they never strayed from the area they were able to go into when chained because that is all they knew. They had no desire to find out what else was out there because they had no idea anything was. They needed someone to point it out. They needed someone to wave from the other side so they could wipe their eyes and go "Woah!, did I just see something exist that is beyond the reality I think I am in?"

So I DO want to help, I DO want to be the one 'waving' from the other side. I DO believe that people must do it themselves but I also believe that it is only fair to show them the possibilities that exist before we expect them to just find their own way completely. We could eliminate so much time and struggle. People could find their true destiny and harmony and brilliance and love so much faster if they at least KNEW there was something else out there.

I do not advocate any of the brainwashing techniques that are out there to keep people controlled in a false reality that seems to keep them boxed in. But I choose not to focus on being angy at it. I choose instead to focus on what I DO want--which is to help people see the greater reality that IS available to them. MIND EXPANSION--- vs. mind control. It is as Mother Theresa once stated when asked why she did not attend anti-war rallies. She answered that she will not attend anti-war rallies but as soon as a Peace Rally was formed she'd be there.

So I am using my newfound bridge to wave at everyone. When they see me and say "Woah-- what is that, I must have a look over there, beyond my reality..." Then I can begin to share with them the tools and techniques that will open them up to the existence of their true radiance and brilliance, to being true to themselves and sharing their gifts and joy with the world to uplift us all and bring our collective vibration up that much higher, catapulting us into the new world of peace,love, and harmony.

What is MY bridge? Hawaiian Orace Card Readings with "intuitive counseling" and Wedding Ministry.

Two 3-D ways that I can reach people without the scare of 'spiritual counseling'--(i.e. you must put in work before I can help you--I am only a catalyst to your healing- you must do it on your own). Because in these two things, I am really doing spiritual counseling/life coaching anyway. Just reaching them in the first place where they are at, in a way that I am comfortable with. With a tool that I feel is real for me and I am not selling out with.

Anyone else looking for that "bridge"?

What will yours be?

Sorry for the incredibly long post. If you have gotten this far, bless you. :)

With warm Love and aloha for all!!!! :) Yay!!! Amanda
