My Heart Goes Out to You

Published on by Nancy De Andrade, Ph.D.2 Comments

Heart

My heart goes out to and with those who suffer in silence.

Those who must keep it together so they can keep going on. Those who have no shoulder to cry on. Those men who are not allowed to cry but nonetheless feel deeply. Those women who do not let their children see them cry.

To those who have to put their own needs last because others need them. Those whose family depend on them and they are afraid. Those who cannot cry or they’ll lose control. Those who are waiting for the right moment to let go.

My heart goes out to those who sacrifice their own happiness for the good of all. To those who are in battle and cannot afford to be vulnerable. To those who hold their emotions tightly contained in their chest because there is no other place that would hold it.

To those who hurt inside but do not have someone to share their pain with. To those who carry their pain for years and become used to feeling it. To those who feel all alone in this world.

My heart goes out to you.

How to Clear Your Energy Field

Published on by Nancy De Andrade, Ph.D.1 Comment

Cutting Energetic Cords

 

 

Energetic cords are connections we establish with other people at an energetic level.

When we engage in a relationship regardless of its type, business, romantic, or friendship, we connect with the other person in a way that benefits the exchange of energy between us. Through these connections or cords we exchange feelings, thoughts, intuitions and energy. I’m sure you have experienced or heard of people who know when someone is about to call or arrive.

We connect with people all the time, some are fleeting encounters, other last longer. Some of these connections are healthy and some are toxic. The toxic ones are the ones we need to sever. There are other types of connections we can cut that are really old, and/or just don’t serve any purpose.

Clearing these energetic cords is like clearing up the traffic on the freeway. When we cut the cords that no longer serve us, we are free to move in whatever direction our soul guide us. We detach and are able to move freely and get clarity on many situations.

The first step to cutting these cords is to set the appropriate, loving intention and center yourself.

Then we proceed to do a visualization/meditation where we begin connecting with the person with whom we would like to sever the toxic energy cords. We do not need to sever all cords and connections with people, just the cords that do not serve us any longer.

Next step is to visualize the cords by scanning our body from head to toe and noticing the areas that feel like something is there. This might come as a feeling of pressure, tingling, heat, or an image. Notice these and where they are located in your body and write them down. You can have as little as 1 cord or as many as 100. Don’t judge it, just notice it.

Once you have noticed all of the cords attached to you, begin to cut them one by one. For this you’ll need to identify each cord’s material composition. Is it made of wood, metal, rock, etc? What shape or form does it have? Is it like a chain, a tree trunk, wires? Once you have identified the material, chose a specific tool that will help cut this cord completely. For example you may use a diamond sword, or a chainsaw, or perhaps scissors. Follow your intuition on what tool will work best.

Take your time as you proceed to cut each cord, visualize the cord completely dissolving so there are no remains attached to either you or the other person.

Imagine the area that held the cord in your body, lovingly healing and sealing completely; the same as the other person.

The final step is to surround yourself with a violet orb of light and ask to be healed completely and sealed so you don’t attach again. Do this for the other person as well.

That’s it! There are a lot of details I left out that might be addressed in individual bases.  If you find this technique difficult to perform, there might be information needing to come through before you cut the cords. Seek assistance and support to understand this exchange of energy and get clarity about this process.

Wishing you much love and freedom in your journey.

Supplement Anxiety Treatment With These 7 Natural Remedies

Sharon was at a job where she felt unappreciated and overworked. Not only was she not making enough money to survive, she also had no time or energy left to look for a new job. Her sense of loyalty and responsibility, along with the paralyzing fears she faced at work kept her from leaving that unfulfilling job.

She loved what she did, and the people she worked with, but hated the feeling of anxiety she experienced every time she thought about going to work, every time her supervisor came to talk to her, and every time more demands were put on her plate.

Padres conscientes entienden el poder de la transferencia emocional e intelectual y trabajan en sí mismos primero para evitar transferir creencias o hábitos defectuosos.

Cuando trabajas en ti, transfieres esa consciencia a tus hijos y los inspiras al crecimiento.

Number One Reason Why Affirmations Don’t Work

Published on by Nancy De Andrade, Ph.D.Leave a comment

I Love My Life

How many times have you used affirmations that didn’t worked? Want to know why? Read on.

What are affirmations?

Affirmations are sentences of encouragement that are generally repeated to assert a positive belief. Examples are, “I love and approve of myself”, “I am amazing” or “I am healthy and happy”.

Imagine a situation in your life that you want to change. Then imagine saying some affirmations that say the opposite of what you are experiencing. For example,  you may be feeling depressed and may start saying affirmations like, “I am a happy person”, “I love my situation exactly as it is” or something like that. Do you think that repeating these sentences over and over it is really going to get you to feel better? (or change whatever you want to change?).  It sounds more like you are lying to yourself.

 I’m going to tell you the number one reason why affirmations don’t work and how to change that.

Affirmations without the appropriate feelings are useless.

It’s not exactly that affirmations don’t work, it’s how they are applied that renders them useless. When you say an affirmation that feels far from the truth, what you are actually doing is reinforcing what you don’t want or have. Let’s say you are in need of money and begin saying an affirmation like,

“I have $10,000 in my bank account now”.

Feel into that. Does it feel true? Does it feel realistic? Maybe it does for you but for the majority of people it sounds too far fetched, surrealistic.  Yet some people keep doing them, like a mantra or a prayer, even when it doesn’t feel right in the hopes that if they say it enough times, maybe it’ll manifest.

What you really need to do is change the wording to match the desired feeling. Words carry power according to the emotion they elicit. If I said, “I have $10,000 in my bank account now” and it does not resonate as truth, it is not going to work. If I change it to something more credible such as, “In the past, I have been able to manifest money coming into my life and I believe I can make it happen again” or “I don’t know how but I believe that everything is going to be OK, I can relax” or “Even though I do not know at this moment what to do, I will keep my hopes up and my eyes open for clues” or “Money is already there, all I have to do is align with it” these affirmations may sound more credible and the goal more achievable, therefore releasing some of the stress and changing your mood. When you change your mood and emotions, you change your vibration.

What is vibration?

Vibration is the feeling you get when you enter a room and you feel immediately at home or immediately awkward. Perhaps you may have felt a “weird vibe” or a “cool vibe”, you may have connected with someone like you’ve known them for a long time or rejected someone without knowing them because they give you the hibijibbies. Vibration is the energy you perceive around people or situations. Your feelings tell you what kind of vibe it is.

When you are trying to manifest a desired outcome, you need to be in the same vibe as the outcome you want. It’s like when you are going to talk to someone important, you rehearse in front of a mirror and imagine what the other person will say. You get yourself in the mood, either serious, relaxed, happy or stressed (your choice). Your vibration will attract or reject the desired outcome.

How to make affirmations work?

Affirmations will work when you change their vibration. If the affirmation you are repeating does not have a good vibe for you or does not feel good, change it to something that feels more realistic and achievable. Take one step at a time. Change the wording of your affirmation until you can feel it in your body. The wording that resonates best and makes you feel more at ease is the one you want to use.

The purpose of affirmations is to shift your negative beliefs. If you are repeating affirmations that do not resonate with you, nothing is going to change. Practice writing different affirmations until you find the ones that resonate with you best.

I believe in you. You’ve got this.

Seven Habits of Highly Conscious Parents

Published on by Nancy De Andrade, Ph.D.Leave a comment

OHM PlayHighly conscious parents are those continuously developing their awareness and consciousness. They cultivate attitudes and principles that help them raise their children consciously. The following habits of highly conscious parents require practice and awareness. The more you practice these habits the deeper your relationship with your kids grows.

1. Highly Conscious Parents Review the Past Only To Learn

Highly conscious parents make peace with their past. They do not blame or hold on to their past to justify their present actions. They look at the way their own caretakers communicated, discard what doesn’t work and keep what works.

2. Highly Conscious Parents Look at Themselves in the Mirror

Highly conscious parents understand that their child’s behavior is, a lot of the time, a reflection of their own behaviors and attitudes. They check themselves to see if they are behaving in a similar manner and they make corrections to themselves first.

3. Highly Conscious Parents Choose What to Transfer

Highly conscious parents understand the power of the emotional and intellectual transference and work on themselves first to avoid transferring faulty beliefs and habits.

4. Highly Conscious Parents Live Their Own Life

Highly conscious parents avoid living vicariously off their children. They mentor their children by demonstrating how to live in awareness, consciousness and happiness.

5. Highly Conscious Parents Listen Attentively

Highly conscious parents understand that they do not know it all and that the generations to come have a fresh perspective that can prove valuable in many situations. They listen to their children attentively and practice seeing life from their eyes.

6. Highly Conscious Parents Know That Love Conquers All

Highly conscious parents manage their frustrations by focusing on their love for their children. They also understand that self-love is the best medicine to cure doubts and fear and they inspire their children to do the same.

7. Highly Conscious Parents Dream Together

Highly conscious parents sit with their children and create a vision for their future. They integrate their children into the manifestation of their dreams and enjoy the process of creation. The best way to consciously raise a child is to be aware and conscious of your own personal growth. You are your children’s mentor and guide. When you work on yourself, you transfer your awareness to your children and inspire them to grow as well.

Why Are Business Moguls Meditating? (and why you should too)

Published on by Nancy De Andrade, Ph.D.3 Comments

Did you know people like Phil Jackson, Russell Simmons, Ray Dalio and Rupert Murdock meditate daily?

Oprah, Steve Jobs (RIP), Deepak Chopra, Bill Ford, Arianna Huffington, Padsmaree Warrior and many others also have daily practices of meditation.

What are they getting out of it? How does it help them be successful?

Business Meditation

First off, you can imagine that these are seriously stressed people. Meditating helps you recharge your batteries and regain energy. More energy= more productivity.

Second, when your mind is calm, you can find solutions easier. Imagine this metaphor: Your mind is like a lake and solutions are found at the bottom of it. When the waters are turbulent, you can’t see the bottom. You need to calm the waters to see the bottom crystal clear. Calm mind= better skills to solve problems and more creativity.

Third, after being in stillness you feel more hope and compassion and can gain perspective into any situation. Stillness= better relationship with people= better leadership.

In short, meditation helps improve your creativity, productivity and leadership skills.

Come back soon for the release of my e-book where I explain in more detail what successful business people are doing to enhance their spirituality, be better leaders and be more productive.
