Your Universe is Talking to You




When all falls apart around you…….YOUR UNIVERSE IS TALKING TO YOU. Do you listen?

We have been given free will and then there comes a time when you just simply have to be willing to step aside, get out of your own way and let the universe have its way. You need to STOP, LOOK & LISTEN, CORRECT and TAKE ACTION - NEW and INSPIRED ACTION. Of course I’m talking to myself here.

In my typical Taurean way I have been doing everything I can to avoid doing what scares me (I am someone who believes that I cannot write well (see my belief system? I wonder who told me this when I was growing up?) and that is … ‘blogging’

You might relate to this. What are the things in your life that you are avoiding?

So this is what I do to avoid what the universe is telling me to do. I spend hours reading other people’s (mostly my favourite author’s books and blogs) newsletters. I sign up for all the summits from The Healing Masters, EFT World Summit and goodness knows what all, and then to top it off I record hours and hours of interviews that I listen to at night when I don’t sleep.

All the above – I believe I need to gain more knowledge and learn more in order to be able to do what I do- in other words I need to qualify and re-qualify over and over again or so I thought...until my Universe made me STOP this craze by crashing my computer!

I lost a lot of my information - including interviews I saved on iTunes. No problem, I thought I still have the information on my iPod – until my iPod crashed and with that blow my energy hit the floor!! “Thank you Universe! Thank you so very much!” I mumbled under my breath as I started a mini-meltdown. Then I started to breathe and consider everything I know how to do.

So what now? How do I deal with this situation? How do I deal with this low energy vibration? Well, I start to put some of the knowledge and wisdom I have into practice and this is what I did.

Firstly I asked myself questions to find out what caused this all-fall-down scenario.

I tap into my own inner wisdom using a technique that I was introduced to in 1982 called Muscle Testing. In a nutshell, Muscle Testing provides you with ‘yes’ and ‘no’ responses when pressure is applied to a chosen muscle – usually the arm muscle – ‘yes’ is a strong muscle response and ‘no’ is a weak muscle response. You can ask questions about anything requiring a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response.

Following are the questions I asked myself and the yes/no responses that followed after I Muscle Tested my questions.

· is there something I need to clear?......... Yes.

· what? is it an emotion?........ yes

· is it fear? ........no

· is it not feeling good enough? ........ no

· is it rejection? ........ no

· am I depressed? ........yes

· am I sad? ........yes

· am I angry? ........yes

· is unforgiveness an issue? ........yes

· am I incapable? ........ no

· am I insignificant? ........ no

· do I need to check for more issues? ........ no

· do I need to work on anger? ........ yes

· do I need to work on forgiveness? ........ yes

· do I need to work on sadness? ........ no

· will sadness be taken care of when I work on anger and forgiveness? ........ yes

· this anger – is it from my childhood? ........ no

· is it current stuff? ........ yes

· who am I angry with? my sister? ........ no. My mother? ........ no. any of my friends? ........ no. Myself? ........ yes. My x-partner? ........ yes. God? ........ yes

· how do I deal with it? do I meditate? ........ no

· do I go for therapy? ........ no

· do I do EFT? ........yes – ok

EFT is an acronym for Emotional Freedom Techniques a Meridian tapping process which gives you emotional freedom from unresolved emotions trapped in your body and energy system. EFT is:

· an Energy Healing technique and balances your body’s energy system

· is used to make dynamic and lasting change

· an emotional version of acupuncture

The tapping on the face and body is combined with verbalizing your identified issue that you want to resolve, change or heal. EFT is safe, easy to apply, and is non-invasive.

Tapping Points I used (refer tapping points picture above)

Points on the face

EB = eyebrow

SE = side of eye
UE = under eye
UN = under nose
CH = chin

Points on the body
CB = collar bone
UA = under arm

TH = top of head

Following is a shortened version of my EFT tapping session releasing my anger followed by a gratitude tapping session.

EFT statements:

KC= Karate chop - Even though there is a part of me that is sooo angry…... and it is so unfair and I am sooo angry at the world and myself......... I am willing to accept all this anger and accept that I am not the anger, and I choose to bring healing to this angry part of me.......

I am okay and I can accept myself and that part of me.

KC= Karate chop - Even though there is this angry part of me, it is not bigger than me......... It is not more powerful than me and..... I am willing to trust myself to feel it...... and I honour what my anger is telling me..... it’s unfair – I have been wronged

KC= Karate chop - Even though there is this part of me that experiences rage and toxic anger and I am not going to let them off the hook........... I am open to the possibility that I can fully love and accept that part of me sometime in the future.

EB = Eye Brow – I choose to believe that what I am sending out...

SE = Side of the Eye - is what I am getting back ... everything I do or think is contaminated with it even my relationships.... Causing more pain and anger

UE = Under the Eye - I choose to remember this ... I’m exactly where I’m meant to be

UN = Under the Nose - at least once in a while...

Ch = Chin - I choose to calm down and surrender to it ... what could be more normal?

CB = Collar Bone - to breathe deeply ... and relax a little.....realizing when there is no way out of this suffering, there is always a way through it....

UA = Under the arm - and imagine myself smiling ... in a good way...

TH = Top of Head - and people will smile back at me ...that make me feel good ... accepted ... and part of life out there...

Back to questions again: Have I released my anger........ Yes

· Have I completed my forgiveness? ........ yes

· Anymore work I need to do today? ........ no

My energy vibration on a 10 point scale: low energy 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 high energy vibration. (refer to intensity meter picture above)

· Is it a 10? ........ no

· Is it a 9? ........ no

· Is it a 8? ........ yes

· Do I need to do more tapping to bring my energy vibration up to a 10? ........ yes

· Will gratitude tapping do it? ........ yes

Tapping on all the tapping points

Exciting news...Paradigm Shift Training has a FB space now!

Hello and welcome!

Thank you for taking the time to find out what I needed to tell you.

Before I get into it, I want to thank you for being my Face Book friend. I wanted to give you some information and the only way to do it quickly and efficiently was to ask you to click through here.

As you probably already know, my name is Annette du Toit and I am the Master Trainer for Paradigm Shift Training.I am also very interested in complimentary therapies like EFT and Muscle Testing, as well as therapies like The Emotion Code and so forth. I didn’t want to overload you with information so ‘I’m keeping it short and if you want to know more about me please feel free to go to the website, or ask me right here.

Recently there have been huge changes in my life and I have “surfed” them gracefully. However, while surfing the waves of life, I realized that my business and personal lives are so intertwined I can’t tell the difference anymore. As we know this can be unhealthy and as a Trainer of Trainers I am consciously aware of these things. This has resulted in the decision to move all the Paradigm information to its own page on Face book.

Please, I value your friendship and ask you to click on this link and make sure you become a Page fan so that we can keep our relationship going, here it is http://shrvl.com/62eKh. By the way, I don’t mind if you want to stay connected to my personal Face Book page, I need you to know though that the special quotes and information that comes out of Paradigm Training won’t be happening in my personal space like it used to before.

The website address is www.paradigmshifttraining.com. Alternatively there is this space, my new blog, PST! It’s Annette that you can follow and post comments or ask questions that I promise to answer.

I thank you for understanding. Here is that link again, the one that will take you directly to the Paradigm Shift Training Face Book page: http://shrvl.com/62eKh.

Your body is speaking to you... Listen!

Hello L,

My understanding of your question is that you want to balance your endocrine system and get back into good health but you feel you are sabotaging yourself and want to know what is holding you back from achieving what you want to regarding your weight and health.

If my understanding of your question is correct, my first response to your question was that you have lost your best friend… then I consulted my trusted friend Louise Hay’s book Heal Your Body.

Your body is speaking its mind and wants you to know that –

1. Thyroid is about Humiliation and ‘I never get to do what I want to do’ and ‘when is it going to be my turn? Your Affirmation is: I move beyond old limitations and now allow myself to express freely and creatively.

2. Blood pressure – high: Long standing emotional problem not solved. Your Affirmation: I joyously release the past. I am at peace.

3. Overweight is about: Fear, need for protection. Running away from feelings. Insecurity, self-rejection. Seeking fulfilment. Your Affirmation is: I am at peace with my own feelings. I am safe where I am. I create my own security. I love and approve of myself.

4. Fat is about: Oversensitivity. Often represents fear and shows a need for protection. Fear may be a cover for hidden anger and resistance to forgive. Your Affirmation: I am protected by Divine Love. I am always safe and secure. I am willing to grow up and take responsibility for my life. I forgive others and I now create my own life the way I want it. I am safe.

L, starting now Love and accept yourself exactly as you are – be hugely grateful to your body for giving you this amazing feedback to heal your life. These are all precious gifts. They are also messages from the universe – wake up calls. Are you living your life purpose? Do you know what your life purpose is?

My intuition tells me that you are also telling yourself the following:

  • I am not being validated.
  • I am not supported.
  • I deserve exactly what I get.
  • I am not acknowledged.

Now there isn't a magic pill to solve all this mind stuff in a flash but there is a way to address these issues in gentle. self-loving way.

I invite you to attend a Heal and Love your Life Workshop where I will re-connect you with your best friend, teach you how to work with Affirmations that you ‘resonate’ with, show you how to test your inner truth, provide you with tools for life and much more. If you want more information on the workshop please go to our website www.paradigmshifttraining.com

I trust this information has been helpful to you and wish you well on your journey to health.

Namaste.

Two minds - which is the driver?

Dear T

Your question:

‘I need a Mental Breakthrough Strategy that can be custom-fit per client, in cases like these where a Psychological Broaden and Build strategy doesn't have the desired effect. Please, could you possibly suggest some Right Brain Breakthrough stimulation exercises for these people that get so trapped in the analytical/logical/thinking trap that cause them to get in their own way and in the way of their own progress?’

First, thank you for your question.

I’ll jump right into the driver’s seat and share how I would deal with the scenario if I were in your position. This is my approach.

This particular client/learner has clearly got one foot on the break and another foot on the accelerator pedal – not just in the car learning to drive but also as she is driving down the road of life thinking ‘why haven’t I gotten to where I really want to go and gotten what I really want to achieve - like mastering my driving skills?’

I would explain some fundamental information to her; - if you can imagine an iceberg (see picture above)
and imagine that the mind is actually two minds just like an ice berg with its smallest part - about 5% visible above the water and a vast part of ice - 95% invisible below the water. Imagine what’s above the water as your conscious mind and what is below the water as your subconscious mind.

As the saying goes - we only use 5% of our brain capacity – our conscious mind. Well, in reality, this is exactly what the situation is - the
conscious mind – the tip of the iceberg only operatesabout 5% of its capacity in a day whereas the subconscious mind operates the other 95% of capacity a day.

The
subconscious mind handles anything the conscious mind is not paying attention to – notice how you multi-task? You learn to drive a car, listen to the instructor and observe road signs, change gears, steer the car, etc?

What’s happening is that your
subconscious mind is handling all the details while theconscious mind is busy thinking and making decisions about where to turn and how to change gears.

Now, if 95% of what is happening to you is coming from the programming of your
subconscious mind - who or what is actually in the driver’s seat of your life?

While you
think - (conscious mind – operating at 5%) – that you are the driving force in your life with your conscious wishes and desires and affirming that you are qualifying for your driver’s licence - in reality your subconscious mind is running the show and rules your life with self sabotaging beliefs blocking your success!

Your life is a blueprint of your
subconscious mind. And your subconscious mind is a storehouse filled with programming from your childhood and compounded throughout your adulthood.

The Mission, before getting into the driver’s seat, is to discover your self-sabotaging beliefs about yourself as well as your fears that will stop you from obtaining your driver’s licence. We need to connect with ‘your truth’ the 95% programming of the sub-conscious mind.

Let’s have a quick look at what beliefs are:

Beliefs are thoughts you adopted as your truth as to ‘who you are’ - mostly negative. Negative beliefs are unhealthy to say the least. They create disharmony and stress in your body that lead to dis-ease and will sabotage your efforts to obtaining your driver’s licence.

Where and how did these limiting self-sabotaging beliefs originate?

The answer is simple. When you were growing up you received an incredible amount of ‘programming’ or ‘conditioning’ from the people around you such as your parents, authority figures, teachers, well-meaning religious instructors and the media.

So, when looking at your results, ask yourself these 2 questions:

1. ‘What would a person have to believe about themselves in order to create this result’?
(Result = you not achieving your drivers’ licence.)

2. ‘What do I believe about myself to create this result’?

As Carl Jung said, ‘Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate’.

This is where I tell you that while no-one ever told you what or how you were programmed or how to access your programming - the good news is that you can re-program and re-establish a new blueprint, a different life script being driven by YOU.

It’s simple. Like all things you only need to know how to connect with your subconscious mind – your inner power - your truth. The great news is that it’s easy to learn how to access this part of you. Simply turn the key and open yourself up to new possibilities to knowing that you have unlimited potential locked up inside your subconscious mind.

I have combined two amazing techniques – Muscle Testing and Meridian/EFT Energy Healing Techniques with a specific way to ask for and establish your truth locked up in your subconscious mind and then apply EFT. EFT short for Emotional freedom Techniques, is a method of using light tapping of acupressure points on the body while repeating certain affirmations to effect rapid emotional and behavioural changes.

By applying these techniques you will be accessing universal knowledge and making quantum leaps into an exciting and inspiring inner and outer life - ‘living your TRUTH’.

The only requirement is that you be prepared to learn something new, trust the process and have fun doing it!
