Hi,
I'm Nicole Bayliss.
As human beings,
Our lives can sometimes feel like a struggle.
Perhaps your life can feel that way sometimes,
Or maybe there are some areas of your life where you find yourself constantly struggling or battling.
In my book,
A Shift to Bliss,
I write about the core belief that many of us have,
That life is a battle,
And from that belief,
We create a life that is an uphill climb.
This isn't our fault,
Because we created the uphill climb unconsciously.
We have inherited beliefs from our upbringing,
From our parents' reality of life,
And from the mass consciousness that is mostly still plugged into this belief,
And creating the ongoing reality.
But the truth is that life doesn't have to be this way,
And wasn't meant to be this way.
When we shift from struggle to flow,
We enter a parallel universe that not only feels good,
It provides for our every need and desire.
Does this sound too good to be true?
For many of us it does,
Because we,
As human beings,
Find it difficult to believe what we haven't yet experienced,
And so we still have some layers of conditioning to let go of.
My aim right now is to begin the process of shifting you out of the old paradigm of struggle,
And into the new paradigm of flow.
In the Bible,
The story of Adam and Eve is really a metaphor of these paradigms.
By divine right,
Adam and Eve were born into the Garden of Eden,
Which provided for their every need,
But they steered off course by eating from the tree of good and evil,
Giving into ego temptation that didn't serve them,
And were cast out of the Garden of Eden and into the parallel universe of hardship and struggle.
That's where most of the world is at,
Still.
If we want to move into the paradigm of flow,
The first thing we must do is to become aware of our ego.
Our ego is the part of us that is disconnected from our source.
By source,
I am referring to the greater power that exists.
Some may call it the universe,
Or God,
Or the super-conscious,
Or the all that is.
Whatever you want to call it,
It is a collaborative matrix that we are a part of,
And when we connect to it,
We allow miracles to happen.
The ego mind,
By contrast,
Wants to separate,
Cut off from the collaborative matrix.
The ego thinks that it's all alone.
It pushes,
It wants to control,
To manipulate,
And to force things.
And yet this very way of being will create the hard path,
The uphill climb,
To getting where we want to go,
And will even block things from happening,
Instead of allowing them to happen.
The ego operates always from the vibration of fear and scarcity.
Worry and anxiety are the by-product of the thinking ego mind.
Your own regular spiritual practice is necessary in order to transcend the ego mind and the current world reality of hardship and struggle.
Meditation,
Prayer,
Visioning,
Which is imagining all that you want,
And affirmations are a powerful way to transition into flow.
Don't let your ego mind fool you into thinking that you can make this transition without an inner practice.
Being here with yourself is the key to mastering yourself and your created experience.
Beware the ego mind.
You are part of the whole,
You are not separate.
You must work with the collaborative matrix,
Not separate from it.
Our true self is connected to the source and knows that there is a far greater plan for us than our ego could ever imagine,
And when we trust in that,
Life begins to flow and miracles happen.
Beware the temptation of ego-initiated plans.
Ask yourself why you want something.
Is it truly in your highest good and the highest good of all?
Does it inspire you?
Do you feel excited?
Does it have meaning to you?
Does the process of getting there excite you?
If the answer to all of these questions is a yes,
You will not only create a fulfilling outcome,
You will choose your unique,
Sacred path of growth on the way to your vision.
But if the answer is no,
You may want to think again.
We are all creators and we are co-creators.
We are meant to create in partnership with our source.
The source provides everything.
Not only the inspiration and the desire to do or create something,
But the means by which to get there,
And the process will be flowing and enjoyable.
That which is created from inspiration and joy will contain the seeds of inspiration and joy,
And that which is created out of fear and struggle will contain the seeds of fear and struggle.
So beware the temptation of ego-initiated plans.
Think inspiration and not ambition.
If you're not sure what it is you want or how to go about getting there,
Go within and ask the source.
Ask for guidance.
Ask for signs.
The more you connect in with your source through meditation,
Through prayer,
Through visioning,
And through affirmations,
The stronger the connection becomes and the more intuitive you will become.
The path to your highest good is an intuitive path.
The guidance and the answers come from within,
Not from without.
That's not to say that you won't get signs from the outside and the right people coming into your life at the right time to help you,
But it is your connection to the source that creates these synchronicities.
There is a divine plan for every single one of us that is already encoded in our DNA.
Each of us living our full potential in every area of our lives.
In loving relationships,
In abundance,
In perfect health,
And living our purpose.
Your divine plan is unique to you.
The path to your divine plan will be a path of joy and inspiration.
Allow yourself to make your choices through feeling,
Not through thought.
What gives you joy?
What gives you excitement?
Follow that path.
And in the words of Joseph Campbell,
Doors will open where once there were walls.
When we start working with the source,
Miracles begin to happen.
They may be small at first,
But the more we are shown divine intervention,
The more we begin to trust.
If you have a problem,
Surrender it to the source and ask for resolution.
Don't let the ego mind get involved by telling the universe how the problem should be resolved.
Simply hand it over to the source and ask for a resolution for your highest good and give thanks in advance.
Then trust.
That's it.
Keep it simple.
The universe knows far better than you how to fix a problem.
It has ways you know not of.
I also suggest keeping an evidence journal.
Every time a request gets answered,
A problem resolved,
Or a miracle of any sort gets sent to you,
Write it in your evidence journal and give thanks.
Gratitude magnifies and expands whatever it is that we are thankful for.
It also imprints in you the acknowledgement of the universal power,
Enabling you to deepen your trust in the universe.
The universe is a self-organized,
Self-correcting organism,
And we are part of that organism.
To be in flow,
We must trust and surrender.
When we do this,
We feel peaceful and allow natural intelligence to run through us.
Look at an embryo and how it grows.
Look at nature grow.
Look at water flow.
Nature works on the law of least resistance.
Grass doesn't try to grow,
It just grows.
Water doesn't try to flow,
It just flows.
We can flow like that through the state of surrender.
The state of surrender is letting go of any attachment to an outcome.
When we are in a state of surrender,
There is no sense of pushing for any particular outcome,
No sense of forcing or striving or controlling or manipulating.
In the state of surrender,
We know that we are always looked after and that the universe is a loving place.
It has our back and only wants what is best for us if we just let it.
Trust is a two-way street.
When we trust in the universe,
It responds by supporting us.
But if we don't trust,
We disconnect ourselves from it and we are no longer supported.
So say to yourself every day,
I trust in the universe and I trust in the process of life.
I am always supported by a loving universe.
When we surrender,
We feel peaceful.
The feeling of inner peace creates the correct vibration to put us into the universal flow.
Inner peace is the fertile soil in which our hopes and dreams can grow and the process will be enjoyable.
Inner peace doesn't mean getting stuck in a comfort zone.
We can have a vision and work towards it.
We can create positive change for ourselves.
And it's healthy to go beyond our comfort zone sometimes.
But think stretch,
Not struggle.
By contrast,
Our ego mind doesn't want to surrender.
It thinks we are all alone and we must fight for an outcome.
Just becoming aware when your ego is at play and you are not trusting.
Take a deep breath,
Surrender and imagine yourself flowing like a stream.
Meditate,
Pray,
Reconnect first to the source.
There is no point in trying to fix anything with your disconnected ego mind.
The ego mind likes to think and it thinks in terms of lack and scarcity and fear.
And it thinks it can fix anything through its thoughts.
But as Albert Einstein once said,
You cannot resolve a problem with the same energy that was used to create it.
All our problems came from the ego mind and they cannot be resolved by the ego mind.
It is time to transcend that ego mind.
There are no neutral thoughts.
They are either loving or fearful.
The ego mind thinks fearful thoughts but our true self connected to the source thinks loving thoughts.
Become aware of your thoughts and ask yourself in any given moment,
Am I thinking the loving thought or the fearful thought?
And just as there are no neutral thoughts,
There are no neutral choices.
Loving choices align you with the divine matrix and create miracles.
Natural choices will never create fulfilling outcomes and they create more worry and anxiety.
We must continually ask ourselves,
Am I making a choice out of love or fear?
There are going to be times when you feel that you are in the flow and times when you are not because we are all transitioning into a new paradigm and change at a deep level is never quick.
This is where it is important to practice self compassion.
It is also important to gain awareness that you are not in flow and know that in that moment you have disconnected from your source and to connect back to your source.
Every moment that you are in struggle is actually a healing opportunity to get you back into the flow.
As I've said before,
There is no point trying to resolve anything from a disconnected place.
Meditate,
Pray,
Get present.
Examine your thoughts and find a thought that will give you peace,
Not internal conflict.
Surrender.
So let's talk about the most common areas in life where we struggle or battle because wherever in life we struggle,
We are disconnected from our source.
So let's first talk about time.
How often are you fighting time?
Most of us haven't realized that we can work with time.
Quantum physicists are now confirming what Albert Einstein had told us,
That time is elastic.
Time is not the set plane that we think it is.
It actually expands and contracts according to our vibration.
Have you ever had a day where you're feeling really inspired and happy and you achieve a lot within a given amount of time and other days you struggle to get anything done?
Have you ever been so absorbed in a project that there is no sense of time?
Time stands still.
Have you noticed that your day feels easier if you meditated that morning?
Your vibration is affecting time.
How often do you tell yourself,
I don't have enough time?
Start telling yourself,
I have all the time I need because in truth you do.
The butterfly has but moments yet still has time enough.
Choose to work,
Move and be at God's pace.
God's pace isn't frantic.
Think of a flowing stream.
The stream doesn't worry or get frustrated or angry.
If there are rocks in the way of the stream,
The water finds its way around them following the path of least resistance.
So stop fighting time and make it your friend.
Choose inner peace always and you can achieve inner peace through meditation,
Prayer,
Affirmations and loving thought.
So stop fighting time and make time your friend and always choose thoughts of inner peace such as,
What I cannot get done today I will do tomorrow.
If I cannot meet this deadline it wasn't meant to be.
If I get fired from my job then it means the universe doesn't want me to be in this job.
There's something better for me.
If I don't have a job tomorrow the universe will look after me.
Notice how these thoughts are all about surrender and they are optimistic loving thoughts.
Time gives back to us when we use time wisely.
If we choose to waste time doing low vibrational things such as watching too much TV,
Indulging in gossip,
Addictions or anything we know isn't good for us,
We will be given less time.
Make time your friend and it will reward you.
Another area of life where many of us struggle is money.
Most of us believe there's never enough of it and so we create that reality.
When we're in the universal flow however money will flow to us as and when we need it.
Start believing this and you will see it happen.
Money comes from the source.
It doesn't come from your job,
Your partner,
Your investments.
They are just the current channels through which money comes.
Money is a currency.
It has to flow.
If you want to attract more money go and spend some money.
I know that sounds counterintuitive but you are telling the universe I trust you and I know you will provide for me.
Many of us have been conditioned to believe that we have to work very hard or struggle to get money and that we must be frugal with it because we never know when it's going to stop coming.
This isn't true.
Programmed into you when you were born here on earth is the knowledge that you will always be provided for but we've lost this knowledge through conditioning.
We've got to start believing it again by thinking loving thoughts such as I surrender all my worries about not having enough money to the universe.
The universe has my back and I'm always looked after.
If one channel of abundance dries up another one opens up for me.
If not two,
Three,
Four,
Five or more.
I am open to all the channels of abundance and again these are loving optimistic thoughts that create a vibration of inner peace.
This is the fertile soil that creates miracles.
We can expand our income by declaring my income is constantly increasing.
I always have enough money to do what I want.
I am abundant on every level.
My cup runneth over.
And now let's talk about relationships.
Relationships don't flow when love doesn't flow.
The people with whom you have difficult relationships are here to teach you unconditional love.
Ask yourself what is it in me that is stopping me from loving this person.
It may be hurt and resentment or criticism or judgment or all of them.
Deeper down it may be your wounded child feeling unloved,
Not good enough or criticized.
Surrender and let go of all hurt and resentment.
They will block the good from coming into your life.
Forgive or at least be willing to forgive.
This is the most important part of healing yourself.
Start noticing where you are holding blame,
Judgments and criticism towards others.
Everybody is faulty,
Including ourselves,
But that doesn't mean that they or we are unlovable.
Energy is circular.
It all returns to us.
What we give out we get back.
Give out love you'll get it back.
Give out anything that is not love and you'll get that back too.
Beware of power games.
It's very easy to fall into one if you're dealing with someone who's into power and control.
Don't play them at their own game.
Carl Jung told us where there is power and control there is no love.
Be the higher person and by the higher person I mean be humble.
The meek shall inherit the earth.
This doesn't mean being a doormat.
You can create boundaries but also give and send love.
You will be rewarded when you stay humble and willing to forgive.
The universe loves you unconditionally and you are here to learn to love unconditionally.
When you make this your intention you will begin to see miracles happen in your relationships.
It may not be immediate but you will get the rewards.
So try these affirmations.
I let go of all that is not love.
Even though I am finding it difficult to love this person I send them the universe's love.
Even though I am finding it difficult to forgive this person I am willing to start the process.
I forgive myself for withholding love and for judging and criticizing others.
I fill all of my relationships with love.
And now let's talk about health.
The universal flow is within you known as Qi the life force energy.
Qi is weakened by a lack of self love and self approval and by toxic emotions such as anger resentment guilt or shame.
A lack of self forgiveness or forgiveness of others is the greatest metaphysical cause of disease.
The late great Louise Hay told us that cancer's cause is emotional.
Long standing resentments a deep secret or grief eating away at us or a lack of forgiveness.
Hatred towards self or others blocks the Qi.
Love allows it to flow.
For any illness or condition to heal the first step is to accept and love the illness.
How often do you hear of people fighting cancer or any other illness?
This weakens the Qi even more.
Fight nothing.
Surrender.
Accept.
And love.
And say I surrender this illness or condition.
I accept this illness or condition and I send it love.
I release within me everything that is not love.
I release within me all that has created this illness or condition.
I choose to love myself and my body.
I allow Qi energy to flow freely within me.
And now let's talk about the concept of success.
Success for many is a concept that is dictated to us from the outside world.
To be successful we're supposed to earn a certain amount of money,
Own certain things,
Look a certain way or drive a particular kind of car.
The concept of climbing the ladder is based on the pushy energy of the ego.
You don't need to climb anything.
You simply need to expand and become more of the true you.
Too often it's being suggested to women that we need to be more like men in order to get ahead.
This is why a lot of us are feeling the need to escape the world of organizations because it's not akin to flow.
In your divine blueprint you'll be doing work that you love where you make a positive difference in the world.
In fact it won't feel like work because it is something that you love to do and are good at.
When you start on the path towards this blueprint you will find that everything starts to fall into place.
All that you need will be made available to you.
I hear many people saying I'm trying to find my purpose.
How do I find my purpose?
And I tell them you don't need to go searching.
Purpose finds you.
And it finds you when you are in a state of inner peace and surrender.
And you are the proverbial empty vessel.
This vibration allows the universe to do its work and come through you.
All you need to do is start where you are.
You don't need to be anywhere else.
The author J.
K.
Rowling wrote Harry Potter as a struggling single mother while his son was at school.
Dmitri Mendeleev created the table of elements from a dream.
And A.
A.
Milne wrote the story of Winnie the Pooh when he was reluctantly left alone to look after his son Christopher Robin.
All these people created their own personal success with what they had at the time.
Trust that life will show you.
And in the meantime,
Live your life on purpose.
Meditate each morning.
Slow down.
Go at nature's pace.
Think loving thoughts.
Empower yourself through affirmations.
Stay humble.
Don't fall into power games.
Let go of anger,
Resentment,
Blame and judgment.
If you need to forgive yourself or others,
Start the process.
Learn to say no.
Don't take on anything that doesn't feel right or stresses you out or isn't good for you.
Pray daily and say this daily prayer.
Thank you that today may flow with divine synchronicity,
Grace and ease.
And if you're wanting to go deeper and to stay in the flow,
I have created a series of soul potential healing meditations and affirmations available from my website.
I wish you happiness,
Fulfilment,
Peace,
Love,
Wellness and prosperity.
Namaste.
