3 Powerful Steps to Forgive the Past, and Create The Life You Desire

[Salenta Fox | PWN]

It turns out you really do create the world around you by the vibrations and energies you emit and send out all day long. To create a different experience it is said, you have to ‘be’ different, but how do you do this?

The past few months, I’ve been dedicated to creating this new experience in my life and taking things to a whole new level with precise consciousness and awareness in this area. To be different, means you have to start doing things a bit differently than before. Here are the three gems I’ve picked up on the way.

First, there are no secrets. 

No matter how hard you try to hide, withhold, and keep down, you are a transparent being and people can see you NO MATTER WHAT. They know what’s going on. The more aware your crowd becomes, the more the issue of hiding just becomes laughable. People ‘feel’ what’s going on even if they don’t know ‘exactly’ what they are seeing. Even the most unconscious person still see’s, unless they are choosing not to.

I’ve been through some ‘stuff’ like most people, and some of it’s not too rosy. There was some abuse in my life that I kinda just swept under the rug, I don’t think I even really acknowledged how bad it was or how much it impacted my life.

I essentially was hiding it, even from me, but it was not hidden at all. I was still vibrating it, it was still in my energy field and aside from attracting other situations into my life that hurt me also, others could consciously detect this too. Having it still linger was influencing my NOW experience. Needless to say, to create better experiences now, something had to be done.

Lesson here, be upfront and transparent from the beginning, this means with YOU FIRST.  This is only the first step and if you only stop here, you could make things worse, not better, so keep reading.

Second, forgiveness is key to releasing the past, and this means forgetting too. 

Yes, forgiveness. And no, this is not church. But all those religions have it right because this is a universal truth. Forgiveness has a power greater than most even comprehend. 

I attended a conference in Bermuda a year or so ago all about “Energy”, and the science of it. Dr. Vitaliy, a Russian scientist has been studying energy for almost 3 decades and as he was explaining the energy fields around the body, and demonstrating on someone from the audience, he first tested and showed all the imbalances in the man’s field, then, to my surprise, as he was showing us how to bring the man back into balance, before he did anything, he asked the man to first ask himself for forgiveness. Now remember, Dr. Vitaliy is a scientist, so this really surprised me! The man did it, the Dr. tests him again and suddenly just like that, the man is all balanced, nothing more needed to be done.

Miracle? Maybe, or this is just natural law at work. 

So, after you are aware of what is going on, and what is still lingering in your energetic field or consciousness, you have to forgive it.

It’s in the forgiving that the magic happens and it can be released, just like that, instantly.

Forgiveness is as simple as becoming quiet for a moment and telling yourself, “I forgive you.” I like to say it at least 3 times and feel it, so I know it’s worked.

To forgive, you have to forget about the wrong. I know you have heard this before, but how do you do it? A mentor and friend of mine was explaining to me that if you do not forget, then you have not truly forgiven.

Forgetting means not talking about it anymore, not thinking about it anymore and replacing the past negative thoughts and story, with positive thoughts around the same person that hurt you. So instead, when you think of that time in your life, or that person, you reprogram yourself to think of a good memory or time related to the person or time in life, no matter how small that good was.  This way you start to vibrate the good feelings instead of the hurt and wound. The wound is forgotten and replaced by a fond memory. I know that sometimes you might have to dig hard to find something good, but there always is something.

When you forgive, forget, and replace, you release the negative energetic imprint surrounding you and being emitted from you. It gets replaced by a lighter energy, essentially you are healed and you start stream and emitting this new energy, thus attracting to you, new experiences as well.

You will be vibrating this new energy, and as you vibrate it, you will pull more goodness in, more healing, and more love and will attract more of it into your life.

This takes healing to a whole new level. This is the science of healing, and changing what you are putting forth, thus changing what you receive back in your field.

Third, the power of the word. 

You create with your words. You can believe this or not, it’s still true. Gravity is going to work despite your belief, this concept works in the same way, as with everything I have said in this article. Your belief in it is not necessary, but helpful, as the mind is a powerful thing.

Your choice is to work within this law, or work against it, either way you are creating.

So start speaking what you desire.  Only speak in terms of what you want. Stop speaking about all the sh*t that happened in the past, let go of those stories and start telling stories that describe the life and experiences you desire now.

Forgiveness means forgetting what happened. This means changing the story, let go of the story, stop talking about what you don’t want, to start talking about what you do want.

To demonstrate just how powerful your stories are, and the energy they carry, let me tell you a brief story (no pun intended 😉 )

I was ice-skating and I am still a beginner, but after about 30 min I had gotten my feet under me, and I was feeling and skating pretty well. I started speaking about an incident in my marriage around why I stopped liking skiing because of this traumatic incident, as I recounted it, I noticed my feelings changed dramatically, and I was not feeling good, my body became tense, a thickness developed in my thought and sternum, and to my surprise, I also noticed my skating changed dramatically too. I started skating again like I had 30 min earlier. The negative emotion brought forward by the story had not only effected how I felt in my body but my outward experience and performance too.

I stopped this immediately and started focusing on more positive things and realized in that moment just how powerful that story was, and I decided I no longer needed that story. I no longer needed to feel so low, so overcome, and so bad. I chose to feel good and light and limitless instead.

To recap. 

There are no secrets, if you know the dirty truth, then others do too, maybe it’s time to clean house. You are emitting that vibration of what you are hiding and it’s not hidden at all, and you are most likely still attracting similar situations to you.

Second. Forgive yourself. You are infinite and good and nothing you have done cannot be forgiven. You are divine. You are pure. And it is not only okay, but imperative that you allow yourself to be forgiven. It will change your life, your health, and what you are sending out to the world. You are worthy of good things.

Thirdly, release the negative stories and thoughts keeping you trapped in lower vibrations. Your words are powerful creators. To change your experience and what you get back, you have to change the input. Start speaking about what you want, and never stop. Speak in the positive, “Please keep your clothes in your closet or in the hamper”, not the negative, “Don’t leave your clothes on the floor.”

You are powerful. You can change the experience you are having on this earth, and you can do it all by being more aware, releasing the old and the shmoots, and speaking the life you do desire into being, by leaving the old behind you.

This will not only change what you bring forward to you in your experience, but you will feel better, be lighter, more free, more alive, more vibrant, and happier because you will be focusing on what you desire, the good around you. What you focus on expands.

Taking your performance to the next level

[Kristina Lloyd | PWN]

“Okay, first things first. Do your splits.”

Coach Vicki Rackley Neuman orders competitive pole dancer Lauren Manzano down to the floor. We’ve just been whisked thru the back doors into our rehearsal space at Pink Pole Party in Burbank, CA and Vicki wastes no time in getting straight into training mode, a trait she is proud of. Timekeeping is of utmost importance to her, and there are things to be accomplished in each training session, there’s “no messing around.”

On the floor, Vicki quickly manipulates Lauren’s body into ever-more challenging split stretches, working to increase her split to 180 degrees for some of the more difficult tricks planned for Lauren’s routine for PSO Nationals in August 2015, just a few weeks away. Vicki encourages Lauren to go farther and deeper into her stretch, she whispers for her to breathe. Lauren concentrates and pushes herself. Later, Vicki diagnoses Lauren’s body as having no physical limitations to achieving her split other than lack of practice.

“Repetition wakes up awareness,” says Vicki, whose goal in starting DANCE INTEGRATIONS in 2011 was to integrate the kinesthetic awareness and emotion that dancers have into more disciplines, because she believes this to be beneficial to all walks of life. “There’s nothing you can do that dance will not make you better at,” she says. “Dance translates into everything.”

As a professional Level 10 national gymnastics judge, Vicki has a keen discerning eye, using this technical expertise to help prepare competitors and performers find their best performance. “It’s beneficial for all dancers, gymnasts, singers, actors, and pole artists to have that objective eye.” She works in all styles of music and choreography, including theatrical movement.

Her particular expertise is in performance enhancement. “Viagra for movement,” she says, laughing. “Performers need a coach,” she continues. “They can only feel their performance. They need a third eye to help them to do it more correctly. And to push them to do it again and again.”

When Lauren starts to work her routine on the pole, Vicki makes her repeat her opening trick several times, commanding her to keep her legs straight. “Put your mind where it needs to go right now. It’s a competition. Hit it like a pro, Lauren.” Lauren takes a breath and works her jackknife from the floor for the 10th time.

In the trick, Vicki touches her knees, her feet, her wrists, reminding Lauren to strive toward perfection in length and precision and the spacial relationship best suited for the competition she is preparing for. She steps in close and talks to Lauren about the competition mindset, which Vicki knows all about. Lauren drops to the ground, and wipes her hands to have another go at it.

As a girl, Vicki was an Arizona state champion gymnast, and later she turned her love of acrobatics into high school cheerleading, and began her unofficial choreography career creating routines for the pom squad. When faced with the decision to continue into college cheerleading or take the opportunity for a dance degree, Vicki chose the latter, and that cemented her career.

While in college, the gym where she practiced gymnastics offered her a job as a choreographer for the kids dance program, she realized how important choreography was. “Choreographers are completely underrated,” she says, and says the process is what is important. She then began experimenting with different types of dance applications and taking risks in expanding the boundaries of what was possible, even conducting ballet classes on the balance beam.

Later a professional ballerina, she was instrumental in starting the premiere Los Angeles dance company, the Los Angeles Ballet, and remains on the board today.

Her journey into pole started about 9 years ago when she started taking classes at Sheila Kelley S Factor and found a personal joy in the unique expression. But she has found resistance within the gymnastics community toward pole. “They think pole is a joke, but I don’t care because I love it.”

But she stresses that the competitive world of pole is not regulated and needs respect. “The judges are not professionals,” she says, and she feels strongly that unless there are paid professional judges and a formal structure in place for judging, the sport cannot be taken seriously nor be considered for the Olympics.

“There is a new pole artistry coming out of the Slavic countries in girls with dance backgrounds,” she says. She stresses the artistic side of it. “We need to make a bigger deal of the artistry of the pole.”

On the pole, Lauren finally nails her superman death drop into reverse jackknife after several attempts to make it to Vicki’s specifications, and she breaks into applause. “Good! Love it, love it, and love it. That’s exactly what you need to be doing every time, Lauren!”

Beaming at the praise, Lauren takes a short water break, her eyes twinkling. “A tough coach is the best tool in your arsenal if you’re competing,” she says. Back on the floor, Vicki claps her hands and Lauren snaps into action.

“Now onto the spinning pole!” And back to work they go.

Pole dance in gravidanza, come fare

Ho avuto l’occasione, qualche anno fa, di essere contattata da una rivista dedicata alla maternità per parlare di pole dance in gravidanza. Mi sono quindi messa a cercare testimonianze in rete per capire come le poler affrontano i loro allenamenti quando sono incinte. Difatti, poiché non esistono ancora ricerche medico-scientifiche che confermino o smentiscano che fare […]
