Divorced Women Living in Heart Consciousness

December 9th, 2010

When you live from love everything changes. Can you live from love now?

Can you stop living from the mind and the ego and start living from the heart?

No one is coming to save you. Only you can save you. The biggest wound on our planet is that we do not love ourselves.

We are being called, especially as divorced women, to come and sit with ourselves and connect to our feminine spirit. I like to call this my Goddess. This connection to your heart allows you to feel love. Even when others don’t reflect love and worthiness to you, you can feel the sweet, tender heart consciousness that is you.

This is the path to heal from divorce.

Help After Divorce – Forgiveness or Powerlessness

November 3rd, 2010

“I can never forgive him. What he did was wrong and I can’t change that.”

Do you find yourself caught in “right” and “wrong” thinking? Are you the one judging people or situations and aligning yourself with what is right?

I do the same thing. I have done this ever since I can remember. My mother did it. And she taught me to judge what was right and what was wrong – primarily by telling me all the things I did that were wrong. Needless to say, I grew up basically believing something was wrong with me.

Divorce Support: Going Back or Moving On?

October 14th, 2010

Do you ever think about going back… or even “wish” you could go back? As miserable as I was in my marriage, I admit that those thoughts have come up.

After all the pain and hurt and blame, why do you dwell in the past? Why are you unable to let go?

I speak to countless divorced women with thoughts of going back. In fact, they seek advice or coaching about going back.

Divorce Support: Self Care Strategies to Gain Prosperity

September 13th, 2010

If you are not happy with your body right now, it’s a consequence of your own choosing, it’s not the circumstances of your life. How you feel about your body holds the wisdom to help you make changes in your prosperity and abundance.

On a scale of 1-10, how do you rate your relationship with your body? Read the rest of this entry »

Scared of Feeling Lonely After Divorce?

July 12th, 2010

The conversation about abandonment and being alone comes up frequently in divorce support circles.

This fear is probably the number one reason women stay in abusive marriages far too long. If it’s not fear of being lonely, it’s fear of being without financial support. These two things direct our choices and create our reality.

One woman shared with me an obsessive fear she had of abandonment. This was a strong, independent, successful woman with an unexplainable hysteria about being left alone. She sought professional help for years with no resolution.

Liar! Cheater! Divorce Support for Women Who Struggle with Trust

June 5th, 2010

The pain of a broken marriage ripped apart by an affair is a pain so bitter and so deep, women can struggle with trust for the rest of their lives.

And it doesn’t have to be a physical affair that causes trust issues. Sometimes it’s lying that sends us to the edge.

I’m not sure if my ex cheated on me, but I do know I gave him plenty of opportunity to do this. Not only was I emotionally and physically unavailable, but I had a long list of expectations for him. And he never measured up.

And so I resented him like crazy. Read the rest of this entry »

How to Get Divorce Support from Your Family When You Have None

May 25th, 2010

I was lucky enough to have a massage today and I learned about something about family support I want to share with you.

My massage therapist is also an energy healer, so she is very intuitive about my “physicality”. I was having a lot of discomfort in my shoulder blades. Shoulder and neck tension is fairly common, but the remedy she offered was pretty uncommon.

We carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. That is where I feel my stress and tension.

As she was working on my shoulders in a fairly traditional massage movement, she asked me if I feel supported by my family. I said that I couldn’t remember a time when I felt supported. In fact, I feel like I support everyone else.

Do you feel like you support everyone else and you are the last one in line? Read the rest of this entry »

Transition from Divorce to a New Life

May 7th, 2010

My oldest son has reached one of life’s transitions. He is graduating from college in a few days. As destiny would have it he is also ending his relationship with his special girl.

Endings and beginnings are the juice of life, but sometimes it is years later before we look back and taste the savory wisdom.

There is so much uncertainty and discomfort that comes with breakups & transitions.

Divorce is one of those “transitions” that hits the top of the emotional charts… Read the rest of this entry »

Let Go of Clutter and You Are Letting Go of the Past

March 17th, 2010

I’ve been sick this week with a severe belly ache. And although I know the pain is real, I had to consult with Louise Hay to find out what thoughts might create a belly ache for me.

I love using Louise Hay’s book, “You Can Heal Your Life” when I have a physical ailment. She offers you a guide to the emotional and mental source for physical issues. Plus she offers you an affirmation.

The probable cause of my belly ache? “The Fear of Letting Go of the Old and No Longer Needed.”

HEALING YOUR BROKEN HEART WITH MOVEMENT

February 23rd, 2010

After the divorce, I didn’t want outside activities. I really sought refuge at home. I certainly didn’t have any exercise routine before the divorce, so the idea that I would start exercising, in a public place, wasn’t even on my radar.

In fact, I had some strong resistance to exercise. I did not like to sweat and I was very uncomfortable when my heart started beating fast.
