You’ve heard a “half” truth, its goes something like this, “Love is the absence of fear”, “You can’t feel love and fear at the same time.” Sounds good and it is a simple answer, but the truth is that love is a complex emotion and is the only emotion that seeks to understand your fear. Love can heal and transform your fear into value. In our world of duality, love has its own shadow, it is the fear of loss. The more you love someone or something, the more you fear losing it.
Most people are so afraid of fear that they take a short cut and decide to resist love because they fear they may get hurt, disappointed, etc. This allows fear to diminish your ability to love. When you understand that love has its own fear to deal with, then you can let it be part of the equation. It is only love that has the power to transform fear.
The next time you feel fear around issues of love, you can make a conscious choice to say to yourself, “OK, fear I feel you but I am not going to stop loving!” When you commit to love in the face of fear something magical happens. You become more empowered and your ability to love and be intimate deepens. Fear has many purposes, one of it’s purposes is to show you what really matters to you in life. When you are afraid of losing someone or something, aren’t you really telling yourself how important that person or thing is to you?

During the course of every person’s life there are many crossroads to encounter. It is during these times that we have an opportunity to change the course of our future. What exactly is a crossroad in life? A crossroad is an opportunity to change at a depth of your being, change that happens at a Soul level. A time of crossroads can mark a turning point in your life that can help you create more meaningful success, deeper intimacy-love and awaken joy from the depth of your being.
During the time of a ‘crossroad’ you can change the course of the future and open to new experiences that weren’t possible before. A crossroad can challenge you to explore the unknown (future) and to try something different, a different approach to the way you live your life. While at the crossroads of transition, you often feel suspended, unable to act, held in a cocoon, separated from yourself and your life. It is time to pause, to self-reflect and turn inward for answers. It is a time to be honest with what is and isn’t working in your life. A crossroads offers you the opportunity to bring major life changes into being. It is a time for letting go of ‘what was’ to embrace and reach for ‘what can be’, to reinvent yourself from the inside-out.
During times of transition it is like crossing a bridge that is too high to see what lies on the other side. You know you are moving forward, moving up, but still haven’t traveled long enough to reach the peak of the bridge to glimpse the new territory you are about to enter. These times of transition involve letting go of the familiar forms of security to embrace the unfamiliar. It means stepping with total trust in yourself, your spirituality and the world to be there to guide and direct you. Transition is a time to change your relationship with the world, knowing that life is here to support you, if you’ll let it. I will discuss three keys that can help you during times of transition.

Soul∞utions for Addiction
What is the true nature of addiction? All addiction is an attempt by our ego to gain a sense of passion and connection from life. The journey of the addict and the spiritual are very similar, they are both seeking the same thing, passion and connection or more simply put ‘oneness’. The purpose of passion is to become ‘one with’ to blend or merge together, to feel a union and oneness.
The passionate artist or musician, loses him/herself in their craft of creation.
The artist moves beyond space and time into the creative dimension and blend or merge with the creative-spiritual force of their Soul and Spirit. They become one with the canvas or musical instrument. It is easy to see this in the act of sex, the sexual drive is the attempt to merge and ‘become one’. It is believed that during an orgasm you are actually momentarily connected to the beauty and power of your Soul and Divine Consciousness. Albeit fleeting this connection is so desirous that the sex drive is the most primal part of our nature as human beings. Passion assuages lonliness and separation, while providing a sense of connection, onenness and belonging.
The Soul’s passion is to become one with God-Goddess, to experience “Oneness”. The passion of your Soul, the yearning to become one and to feel connected is the spiritual journey coming home to the Divine, returning to God-Goddess. When our ego is in charge of fulfilling this desire, it finds an activity or experience (i.e., food, alcohol, drugs, sex, etc) to try to belong, connect and momentarily experience oneness.

5. Stop Judging your Emotion Nature.
As children we learned to define positive emotions as love, happiness, peace, gratitude and joy, and negative emotions as anger, fear, guilt, shame, pain and loneliness. The way emotions feel and function are the root of these categorizations. It is true that all emotions either expand or contract, depending on their nature.
“Positive” emotions are expansive in nature and allow us to relax and feel greater freedom. Likewise the typically labeled “negative” emotions constrict, pull in and feel tight. They often signal that something is out of balance in your life, like the warning lights on your cars dashboard, telling you to slow down and check under the hood. This is a very good thing to have available and isn’t negative.
The problem arises when we judge and label our emotions as positive (good), or negative (bad). Emotions aren’t negative or bad, they can all become positive resources to help guide and direct your life. You can develop composure, not being lead by your emotions, but having dominion over them.

4. End your Tug-of-War between Fear and Love.
You’ve heard a “half” truth, its goes something like this, “Love is the absence of fear”, “You can’t feel love and fear at the same time.” Sounds good and it is a simple answer, but the truth is that love is a complex emotion and is the only emotion that seeks to understand your fear.

Secret #3 - Learn to Dance with Chaos.
We judge chaos as bad and wrong and we set up whole societies with laws, rules and regulations to minimize chaos and that is a good thing. Surely, living chaotically 24/7 would be overwhelming and unproductive. However, most have such fear of chaos that we hold ourselves back from some of the most beautiful positive chaotic experiences in life. Unfortunately, most people have developed a resistance to all chaos and we have replaced it with control. Being in control is good, and experiencing chaos is bad or so we are conditioned to think/believe.
The truth is you need to be willing to dance between the two in order to have a successful life. Often what is missing from peoples lives that is most important to them can only be accessed by dancing with chaos. Passion, creativity, wisdom and intimacy are some of life experiences that require a certain amount of chaos to fully experience. Avoid chaos and have difficulty experiencing so much of what brings personal fulfillment into your lives.
All change produces chaos. In order to change something in your life you must be willing to go through a period of chaos. It is easier to see chaos with bad changes (i.e., getting divorced, losing a child or losing your job) but likewise good changes also produce chaos.(i.e., getting married, having a child or starting a new job). Chaos isn’t bad, it is a necessary part of being able to change.
