How to Be Your Real Self and What’s Been Stopping You

By Britt Bolnick | Tiny Buddha | In Arms Coaching

“The more of me I be, the clearer I can see.” ~Rachel Andrews

This past year has felt a lot like I was running through a supermarket, naked.

But not as chilly.

As a life-coach for women, one of my brilliances has to do with supporting women in showing up fully as their shining, marvelous selves—and guiding them through all the work of facing fears, looking at self-worth, re-training brains to focus on abundance and feeling powerful, vs. scarcity and victim-hood...

Your soul is cradled in the arms of The Universe in the same way a mother cradles her newborn child. Let the safe, comforting feeling of that embrace fill you with love. ~ Creator

So many of you are always on the lookout for what you do not want. You have been conditioned to do so, to be on high alert for any trouble. But you are evolving beyond that, Dear Ones, so why not change your perspective?

What if from this point forward, you consciously started looking for everything that was right? What if you started seeing the abundance that abounds all around you? What if you started looking at your life through the lens of love, seeing all the love that exists already in your life? What if you started celebrating your own divinity, your own beauty, your own health, and everyone else’s, too?

You see, the first approach will always make you feel like you could be victimized at any given moment, and that it is never safe to let down your guard. The second will show you the proof of the love, support and blessings that abound for you, which will allow you to feel a deep satisfaction for where you are. Both will perpetuate more of the same. Which would you prefer? ~Archangel Gabriel

...all of this talk about a potential rival to the IMF and World Bank have exposed the general public’s ignorance about what exactly these institutions are and what they do.

While most are familiar with the IMF and its predatory lending practices (and those who aren’t are encouraged to acquaint themselves with the “IMF riot” strategy that was developed in the third world and is now being imported to Europe), the World Bank is less scrutinized and less understood. What is it, what does it do, and why is it important for the BRICS to challenge its hegemony in the development and poverty reduction arenas?

For the answer to that, we’ll need to examine the World Bank’s history, both the official history that it touts to the outside world and the real history of its part in plundering the developing world that it is supposedly there to help.

Snake
The more widely recognized chthonic, or ‘earthbound’, and therefore evil symbol of the serpent has given snake a mixed reputation for centuries. The Greeks recognized this as the three Gorgon sisters; Medusa being one of them, Christianity and Islam as the serpent who tempted Eve, and the ‘evil’ of the snake translated itself as bad luck for the city of Thebes which was said to have its foundations built on a giant serpent.

In more enlightened circles, the snake is a symbol of medicine and health. The Bowl of Hygieia, Caduceus and Rod of Asclepius denote pharmacy and healing, whilst in India snakes have been worshiped as Gods with the cobra wrapping its way around the necks of Vishnu and Shiva, and women to this day still pouring milk on snake pits as a gesture of reverence. Nagraj is the King of the Snakes, and many believe the snake to also be a symbol of fertility.
