What is weighing you down?

The answer lies in your emotions. Many of us let our emotions control us. Perhaps that is because there is no recognition that you can listen to their message and choose to respond directly to them instead of running away or trying to ignore them.

Confused. Let me explain. Lets list some emotions and notice what you feel when you connect to them.

Heaviness, weighted, lighthearted, uplifted, overwhelmed, chaotic, balanced, over-sympathetic, burdened, exhausted, energized, insecure, lonely, depressed, happy.

I am going to pick one just to illustrate my point. I choose overwhelmed, because I believe many can relate to that feeling in some aspect of their lives. When you are feeling overwhelmed, notice how you feel. Do you feel full of energy or like someone is standing on your shoulders making your movements laborious and slow? Do you even try to move, or do you feel like you are drowning? As you get in touch with that feeling of being overwhelmed, notice how you respond to being overwhelmed. Do you create a list to attain your chosen goals, do you swim in the ocean of futility, or do you run to an alternate source of comfort to avoid the real issues.

Choices of alternate comfort are often sought as a means to pamper that part of us that does not want to deal with the issue. If circumstances exist that you may feel you can't keep up and you have no viable or tangible source of help (i.e: there is no one else to help me with these tasks, I am on MY OWN, I have no where to turn). A common choice is to turn to a friend, who is always a available and comforts us in a way that makes us feel immediately and momentarily good. That choice is Food.

There are chemical reactions in our bodies that create and respond to certain foods. Sugars, carbohydrates, wheat and gluten, salty snacks are among the top triggers. These foods are held in our bodies in fat cells and they carry the emotions of what we are trying to hide because we do not want to deal with them. We use these foods as an escape for comfort. But the actual emotion that we are trying to bury and forget remains with us and the use of food is only making us feel worse. The only real solution is to deal directly with the emotion and to understand what is causing it and what we can learn from it. From there we can make different choices. It is the difference between being out of control to in control. Even the most together and organized and successful person has a part of themselves that is hurt, alone or out of balance. These are not personal failures, that is a judgement that we assign to it, but is not truth. Our truth is that we can handle anything and we have the tools and strategies and the abundance available to us at all times. Our strength, our connection to our spirit, our mind and our body empower us to own and be who we are really meant to be. But that is a choice. When out of balance, we need to reconnect and recreate harmony. Harmony in our spirit (connection to the Divine), our mind (our thoughts and what we are choosing and attracting into our lives and to believe), and our body (which is a measurement of how effectively we are practicing and achieving that balance.

When we give our bodies food that is nutritious and loving providing nutrients that enrich it and allow it to thrive, we disallow the food the control us.

When we give our minds food for thought that is empowering we feel in control and ready to embrace our challenges.

When we give our spirits freedom to live and we are inspired we allow our true selves to come forth and are at our best.

By choosing these three options, we become lighter, freer, optimistic and powerful. In this way we are choosing that anything is possible and we create unlimited possibilities.

I encourage to experience a LifeLine session to uncover, release and transform the emotions that you are experiencing that are weighing you down. You can be empowered on an incredible journey where you become your best and happiest self. The weight is a symptom, asking for you to notice it and embrace its message.

Blessings in disguise.

Today, I am reminded by the words of Louise Hay, founder of Hay House and Hay House Radio.

Quote, "All we have is a thought and a thought can be changed".

Think about this for a moment. If your thoughts in this moment are not reflecting the beauty and pure love of who you are and what life offers you, then you have a conscious choice to change that thought. By changing our thoughts we bring our energy into a higher vibration and we also begin to see the real truth of who we are meant to be. If you do not feel good realize that the emotion of "not feeling good" is not resonating with your true nature of love, which is ALWAYS in and for best and highest good. So the sadness is a blessing or gift in disguise to awaken you to your true self and allow you to feel happy.

It does not always seem easy to get out of a thought pattern that does not feel good. But it can be. Confront it, head on. If you feel sad, realize, "this is not my truth." Sad is not how I want to feel therefore it is telling me I want to be happy. That is GOOD. Thank you sadness for awakening me to my truth of wanting to be happy.

What will make me happy? Let your imagination go. Visualize that happiness. See it go on for an hour, a day, a week. Feel it. Feel the possibilities in its truth.

Ask yourself, "What did or didn't happen that is causing me to feel sad?" Cry if you need to, punch your pillow, scream. Create, feel, and give yourself what you need for that part of you that is feeling sad. Give yourself love. The part of you that is feeling sad is not the whole you. Acknowledge that. You can choose to feel happy and full of love.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

When I look into the mirror, what I usually see is not what is on the outside but what is on the inside. What is on the inside is a reflection of what I am feeling. What I am feeling is often directly related to what others are reflecting back to me. However what others reflect to us is filtered through our perception of what is really there. (What others see and do is not always how we see what they are doing and perceiving.) We judge and perceive. It is these judgments and perceptions that are usually clouding the truth that allows us to see pure love. Pure love is all that is true. All else is our illusion and distortion of the truth. When we have that muddled reflection it is hard to believe there is a higher truth and that Love is really there for us.

I had a day like that yesterday. I knew, the messages I was receiving were false. I knew that it was my perception that needed to change. As I went through the day, I allowed it to be. I did not like what I was seeing, which is good, because that means that I want something more. Anytime we don't feel positive and great it means that we want and are ready to change. We may not always know how to make that change and the perception that we are stuck or victims keeps us trapped and unhappy.

Yesterday, I needed to listen and to my emotions. Let me try to explain. I am constantly raising my own consciousness to a higher level. I do not want to live any other way than in peace and love. However, by setting that standard, I am often faced with feelings that are inconsistent with peace and love. Annoyed, frustrated, angry, overwhelmed, disappointed, used and the list can go on and on. What I needed was a day to just be human and to be okay with whatever came my way. A day free of judgement, of analysis, of thought. What I mostly felt was tired. I was tired of working so hard. I felt numb. I was glad to go to sleep last night, I needed the rest.

So today, I realize that it is okay that what I see in the mirror does not adequately reflect my true inner self. My LifeLine session was one on forgiveness and acceptance of the "dance of life". The dance reflects where I have been which is the building blocks of my current state of health. It is reflecting what I need to learn and to grow. I have choice in the present moment which shows me the opportunities before me and challenges me to adequately reflect my true inner self. At the end of my session I felt joy at the awesome experience of life and a future of freedom, peace and love.

It is truly a journey. We may all become saints, princes and princesses one day. But the only way to become that is to love who we are so much that it is reflected in each and every action, word and thought that make us who we are. Then and only then are the emotions of annoyed, frustrated, angry, overwhelmed, etc. not even recognized in our perceptions. The blessings are in disguise and the silver lining here is that these very emotions that we judge unwanted are the same ones that teach and challenge us to be their polar opposite. We do not like them because they really do not resonate with our truth and heart's desire which is pure love. Did you really hear that? Those emotions are not really you and that is why they bother you and why you want to get rid of them.

So, as you look into the mirror today, who do you see. More importantly, do you wish to see past your perceptions, through the emotions and find the blessings hiding there for you. You must choose the journey to rise above these emotions and to choose love. Love of yourself. This is what all healing is about.

The reflections in the mirror show the choice between living in love and being connected to Source which is Pure Love or to living in fear and pain.

I work with others to help them to unlock their full potential and why they may not be feeling love and joy in each and every moment. This is not counseling or life coaching. I work with the subconscious and emotions of the body, mind and spirit. Your story and personal information is not shared. That remains yours. You will identify emotions and connect to them but will not need to tell me what situation is behind the emotion. It is possible and well within reach to release trapped emotions that are draining your energy. LifeLine finds the root causes of those emotions at a subconscious level, which means you are not now consciously aware of why they are there. The journey for each of us is unique. The journey is our life and how we choose to live it. To begin your LifeLine journey of transformation contact me: dgagala@comcast.net.

I have payment plans and packages available.

The storybook of your life.

Have you chosen to be sucked into the storybook of your life? Or are you choosing to write a new chapter, creating the beautiful spirit of love that is YOU? You are here to feel and share that spirit and all the gifts that make you unique, not only with yourself but with others. Or are you stuck in past details of what was or wasn't? There are messages and lessons for us to learn from what we find in our story. It tells us who we have been, how we got to where we are now. We need to reflect on the emotions of these chapters in our book to release what is still stuck there. You can choose to understand, forgive, release parts of your story that are keeping you stuck there. *

If the emotions you are feeling as you listen to your story are keeping you down, Why? Why are you not choosing to write a new page in your book instead. Are you ready to let go of what is weighing you down? Are you ready to fly and be the you that is waiting to burst forth and write a new story for who you want to be. Who you want to be is a choice. Loving yourself is the journey that gets you there. Live from your spirit today, it is that part of you that is here now. Breathe in and as you exhale let your actions reflect the you that you want to be.

You have today, you have now.

* For an appt. to help you move through the emotions that need to be released from your past and help you to live more fully present in the now please contact me. I would love to journey with you to help you to become your Purpose, passion and vision. Life is too short to not be choosing to shine!

Infinite Love & Gratitude.

A joy filled life

There are so many demands on our time and 0n our emotions that sometimes we need to remind ourselves to feel joy. Do you feel joy?

We often get so caught up in what we need to do each day. We have jobs, children to care for, mortgages, rising prices, challenging family structures (separations, divorces, multiple marriages, mixed families and extended family members all over the globe). Our society is one of instant gratification. All of these lead to challenges in parenting our children in healthy ways that will teach them the values and strengths that are going to help them to become happy, secure, joyful people that are filled with love of self and of life. We want them to live each moment with joy. We want them to feel and know they are loved and that life is filled with unlimited possibilities for all of their desires.

It is easy to spend all our time and emotions on our kids, families, friends and those we love and care for. We love them unconditionally with our whole hearts. We want the absolute best for them.

But what about you. Don't you deserve the same: happiness, love and life filled with unending joy. Don't you deserve a life filled with passion and unlimited possibilities? Yes, you do.

Did you ever stop to consider that you deserve it. Ask for it . Now. I want joy in my life. Stop to think about ways you can add joy into your life.

When I wake up today, I want my day to reflect joy in everything I do. We are on this earth, on this physical reality to experience life. Choose joy as part of that experience. I am grateful and full of joy that I am alive and want to celebrate living. Smile. Sing. Dance. Laugh. Take a bike ride, go to a game. Bake a cake or cookies or go drop in and visit someone.

Give yourself permission to be JOYFUL.

Infinite Love & Gratitude!

A safe space just for you.

Over the last weekend, I became more aware of my of my own space and how others energy affects mine. Questions swarmed through my mind. Why am I feeling this? Why am I aware of this? Why is this bothering me? What is the message? I went to a dear friend, asking for his help. I was, in my usual fashion, looking for intellectual answers? I planned on a conversation of if this, then what. I wanted to know how to fix what was going on with me. My friend, in his wisdom gave me something much more important. Thank you "PpB".

What he did for me was to take me to a quiet space. In this space, I wanted to talk, to ask the questions, I wanted answers for. My friend, calmly guided me and simply said, "shhhhhh". I went inside, finding a safe, quiet place within. As I did so, I realized that I was creating a safe boundary that would allow me to remain strong, safe and connected to self and the Divine. It was very welcomed. I felt peace and very connected to my true self. I realized that I did not have to let others energy affect me, unless I wanted it to. Also, I became aware that some of what I was feeling were messages that I needed to listen to. It was necessary for me to simply ask, Why is "blank" bothering me.

I learned that it is ok to set boundaries. It is ok to say no to others and keep what is mine, either physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually to myself. It is not only ok but it is important to recognize when you are crossing boundaries.

Sit quietly for about 5 minutes. If something enters your mind, lovingly acknowledge it, say thank you, clear your mind and surround yourself with a bubble of love. Inside this bubble, feel comfort, joy, safety, security and peace. If something else comes in to your head or space, say no thank you I am worthy and deserving to enjoy this space. Enjoy these feelings. Are they new to you? You can come to this place anytime you choose. It can last a few seconds or minutes, whatever you choose or can allow at the time.

If you notice someone or something is bothering you in your day, ask yourself, "Why is "this" bothering me, disrupting my peace, my joy?" What is its message? If you notice the energy is not yours, (i.e. someone else's frustration, anger, etc) let it go, set your boundary. Go into your safe bubble, feel your peace, the safely of your own space. Breathe in that love and connection to yourself. Smile. Be grateful for your inner self, which is your connection to spirit.

Then go on with your day.

How does that feel?

"The Cause", Choosing Love & Healing

Revision

I just got back from facilitating a training seminar on the LifeLine Technique. It was, as always, transforming.

About a week ago, I watched a u-tube video titled "The Cause". I would recommend watching it, but like many things in our lives it is scary, challenging and painful. It is hard to watch, because of the sad story and reality of what happened and happens too often in life. We inflict pain on others. But it is our pain, our internal pain, that we have not known how to deal with that is the root cause of our acting out in unhealthy ways. These cycles of pain are in each of our lives, just to different degrees. On this weekend, the anger and sadness became very real as I really internalized why these emotions and my own purpose, passion and vision are so strong within me.

As I did so, I began to feel compassion and empathy for the perpetrators. I had done this before, but this time I felt a personal responsibility to help. Anger and judgement do not solve problems and do not heal. Many people find themselves in situations which they are unprepared for. Hurt, anger, sadness, depression, anxiety, withdrawal, denial or many other emotions may surface as a result. Often they do not have the ability to deal with the emotions, neither do or did their parents have the support systems to deal with the fear and pain. So they did what most people used to do. They ignored the situation trying to deny and forget what happened. They pretended it did not happen. But they were wearing a mask on the outside. Inside the pain remains.

Our lives are based on energy. Everything that happens to us affects us on an energetic level. When we bury, hide or run away from something in our life that is painful or fearful it gets buried in our subconscious mind. It then comes out as emotions that are stuck in our energy level. They can manifest into physical symptoms and disease if not dealt with.

I have been dancing around the real issues until now. Change is not something we can randomly choose. We must make a conscious, responsible decision to grow up. It is not easy. But our children, our families, our communities deserve to be happy, healthy and full of love and joy. More importantly we each deserve to feel that self love to such a degree that we are overwhelmingly full of joy and happiness. When are you going to choose love over fear and settling for less than your real truth and potential?

Most of us have been brought up to believe that we are not worthy of happiness. We have limiting beliefs and have accepted lives that are less than they should be because we are living out of fear. We cannot imagine a life where we are living our full purpose and joy. Most of us do not have role models that believe that either.

We are capable of sooo much joy and happiness. Life is FULL of potential. The possibilities are endless. No matter what is happening in your life that is not what you want it to be, you can choose to change.


It is easy to judge, blame and lash out at perpetrators. But within each of us is a perpetrator on some level, an inner child that did not get the love it needed. But that inner child can still, regardless of the age, deal with the past and choose to live in the present. A present that is happy, fulfilling and beyond measure in love.

Baby Kelsey from this video deserves for us to honor her memory by the precious life. Many others who live in spirit remind us to choose love and learn to love ourselves and heal anything that is not bringing us joy in life. They have taught me the importance and power of forgiveness and compassion. We are all created from a Divine Loving Universal Energy of Love.

My purpose, passion and vision is to allow others to heal from their fear, pain, stress & challenges. Do not accept second best. LIFE is AMAZING. Choose to live your life with passion and purpose.

My training and the new belief system you will awaken too will empower you to live a more fulfilling life, regardless of the issues you are experiencing. Even if you have financial issues, career issues, weight issues, I can help you.
