Episode 4. Are you the cow or the buffalo? Today we are changing it up a bit, we have talked about the basics of spirituality, what it is how, its made up and how we are all connected by energy. So today, as promised in the intro we are going to start discussing the importance of personal growth, how to change your life and encourage the spark of your own personal power to shine brighter then it has ever been before. And yes it is possible to start changing your life with out spending a cent and yes it really is that simple. Before I start delving into what we an do I want you to ask your self one simple question……. Are you the cow or the buffalo? No I havnt lost my mind just yet but I want to share with you something I heaed I heard a while ago and to this day it has stuck with me. I can’t remember where I originally heard this but different version has popped up recently and I feel its so fitting with how so many of us are facing life every day. When there is a storm the buffalo will run towards that storm and face it head on, they say the buffalo is fearless and hit the storm with brute strength. The but that’s not quiet the case. The buffalo knows that the storm if faced will be over and pass in no time. Its allow the bufflo more time and freedom on the other side of the storm, which they can put use to other magical and wonderful things. The cow how ever will run from the storm, trying to get away from it. The cow will continue to run until it gets tired and slows down, and the storm will eventually catch up with the cow, The cow and the storm continue to move together and before the cows relises its been living in this storm for so long the the peace, sunlight and freedom on the other side seems impossible to reach. And it no longer remembers what it feels like not to have a storm in life. So what does the cow do, three options. Option 1 – the cow can continue to try and keep running until they fall to the ground with an energy source that is completely empty. Trying to make senses of the world, this is where it will feel like shit after shit will keep getting thrown at cow and it eventually give in accepting that this is life now and there is no way out, scaed of the change, even if it could be good. Option 2 – the cow can stop and do nothing and while there may be breaks while each storm passes, the next one will be the same, the cow will rest for a while, gain the strength starts running when the next storm hits and finds itself in the exact same position. Cow may not being going backwards but its not moving forward either. Option 3- the cow can become the buffalo, running towards to storm the cow can start to understand that it actually has options and that it no longer has to run when the face of a storm starts heading its way, knowing dam well that cow has been in that storm before, it can try to understand what it is that it is afraid of, it can makes sense that the surface stuff has nothing to do with what is in the eye of the storm. no longer does cow have to fear or live the shit day in and day out. But how doe scow get out? Like the cow many of us find our selfs, living life dealing with the crap the continues to come, some days we feel like we can take on the world, that we can fix any problem that comes our way and then there are other days where we struggle just to get up in the morning and doing anything more then just breath. For so long, so many of us get use to feeling like were not worthy, like we don’t have the strength to get up again and face another storm. So many of us are sick and tired of the crap and we want to change and get out of the constant running of the storm but were afraid, how do we stop doing what we have done or so long. I know its not easy, I have lived the life of shit, and one day I decided to say fuck this and I did something about it, mind you I had to hit rock bottom before I could raise my head, look up and see the light, I found the courage of the buffalo and I faced my biggest fears head on, not knowing if I would be making it out the other end. when I look back, I now understand that I allowed my fears to take over, I allowed the ego thought and the logic brain tell me that I was not good enough, that I was not deserving to have a life where I could actually find peace in the simplest of things And even though My husband has been nothing but supportive and my biggest rock in self discovery, it is just that ‘self discovery’. I can stand here today and tell you that I have tried and tested so many things and at times I didn’t think I was going to make it through. But with trail and error I’m proud to be sharing this with you, what I have discovered I teach and guid in my coaching session and shadow work interventions is not just about the spiritual woo woo, the therapies and technics that I use are backed by science, it taps into the brain, the unconscious mind where all of our behaviors ...
