Soul Nourishment Series…Day 4!

This is a very proactive day for you! Many times people have things in their life that they would like to change, yet instead of acknowledging what these things are and fixing them, they silently stew. This stewing is in the back of their head most of the time, on a subconscious level and stewing builds aggravation.

Changing little things in your life seems so easy, so than why do you not do it? Well because deep down you know the truth that it is not easy at all and  in fact it takes a bit of work. You must first acknowledge that change is needed, and in order to do some acknowledging you must take responsibility. That alone can make you cringe...for most people is very hard to do. Then there is problem solving. Here is what you are thinking I am sure, "What! Don't I do enough problem solving! My kids, my boss, I am tired of problem solving! I want to watch tv!" Last but not least and this is where it can be tricky, you need to believe that your life is worth the work! It is funny how much time and energy you can put into helping other people solve their problems, but when it comes to your own life, settling is just easier sometimes, then initiating change.

Change is not easy, but it is rewarding, and you have to want change more than you want to settle!

So here it is:

1) Make A List: Make a list of 5 things that you would like changed in your life. Your job, money situation, car, wardrobe, computer, shoes, weigh issue, hair, etc.

2) Write On Paper: Take five sheets of paper and at the top of each page write something different that you would like to change.

3) Address Each Piece of Paper (Or each issue): Under each heading you are going to give some thought to what it is that would help you resolve the issue, or change it for the better. For instance say your weight is page one, something that might make you feel better is losing 25lbs., maybe just looking physically fit, or more tone. If your wardrobe is page two and something you would like to see changed, something that might make you feel better is having updated clothes, clothes that fit, or clothes that flatter your figure. If you do not like your job is page three, what is it that you want? More flexability, more money, vacation, insurance, closer to home? You get the idea here.

4) Make A Game Plan: Make a game plane to clear out the past and bring in the new, gym membership, buying healthier food, running, etc. Acknowledge that change does not come about unless initiated!!!! If you are the one wanting change, and stewing, then you are the one that is going to need to be proactive. You can sit on the couch all that you want and visualize losing weight, finding your soul mate, or working somewhere you love, but I guarantee that it will be coupled with the feeling of aggravation and that is self sabotage at its best! When you have a game plan and you begin to move towards being proactive, you begin to feel an energetic shift. See, this is very key here, your intent shifts your energy and what you are projecting about your situation into the Universe. This little shift is a major component to bringing what you want into your life.

5) Problem Solve: Treat these items as if your boss has given you the list and you are going to have to resolve each problem. Somehow people can do things like this easier if they are asked to do it by someone else, for someone else's benefit. Write down steps you can take to get the result that you want, as if you have to show your "game plane" to another person. Or even better, do this with a friend and do show it to another person!

6) Set A Date: Put a date under each item of when you plan to start moving toward your goal of addressing and changing that particular issue. You can work on a different one every week, or you can do them all at one time, however you choose.

7) Execute!!!! Implement change and note your progress and the steps that you take to get the change that you want. This is important!!! NOTE YOUR PROGRESS! Because you will forget all of the things that you did to implement the changes. Many times people will do several things to initiate change and only remember a handful. If you note all of the things that you do, it is like giving your self a pat on the back upon your review. Review your progress at the end of the month!

Soul Nourishment Series…Day 3!

This is going to be a hard day for many people! But the challenge is not without it’s rewards! Today you are going to commit to taking COMPLETE responsibility for your own happiness!!! I bet some of you are almost laughing thinking, “Are you kidding? That’s it!” Well good, then you should welcome the challenge.

How relieved would you feel if you knew that no one, and I mean no one, could affect your happiness? Not your spouse, kids, parents, boss, no one! Just feel that for a minute…..doesn’t that feel nice? Don’t you almost feel lighter knowing that your happiness cannot be affected by other people?

Hmmm….well, it might be your lucky day. You see this is the deal, most people react to other people, you react to the way that they communicate with you with their tone of voice, facial expressions, etc.  You react to situations that you are in, and your perspective, so today is the day to change all of that!

Here is what you are going to do:

1) Start your day sitting in a chair for 2 minutes or however long that you would like, and go to the end of the day in your imagination and just imagine that you had a wonderful day. Do not go over any details, just how you feel at the end of the day. Imagine that you feel lighter, and happy about the daily events.

2) Throw all of your expectations of what you want other people to do out the window. You cannot punish anyone, by anger, the silent treatment, etc., for not living up to the expectations that YOU set for them. This is waaaaaaay too common and something that I see a lot. It is just not your place, you definitely set yourself up for disappointment here, because the funny thing is, most of the time you do not even tell anyone what your expectations are! Hmmm...that is definitely setting someone up to fail!

3) Do not react negatively or respond in anger to anyone else having a bad day. Do not ALLOW them to affect your happiness. Even if you feel that it is directed at you. Who cares if they are unhappy, it’s not your problem… "Do not take someone else’s unhappiness personally.”

4) Do something that you enjoy today, not just what you feel like you “have” to do. In other words, let the dishes slide tonight, let someone else make dinner, watch a movie, eat out, take a nap.

5) Do not force yourself to do the things you hate and then resent doing it the whole time. If you are working at a job you hate….it’s not anyone else’s fault, you have free will, it’s a choice. So as long as you are staying at a job or doing laundry, shift your perspective and be happy that you have free will, that you are healthy, that you have laundry to do, etc. No one can force you to do something without your “free will consent!”

6) DO NOT engage in any drama and or judge anyone and their situation. This is about your happiness, not about how you can fix other people’s happiness!

7) Do not watch the news or read the newspaper. Those events are 98% negative and out of the realm of your control.

Good luck! Then on to Soul Nourishment Series, Day 4!

Soul Nourishment Series…Day 2!

This will be an interesting day! Today I want you to make a plan to do something that you have wanted to do for a while, but you have not yet done due to money, time, fear, family, whatever!

I want you to check off a “Bucket List” item so to speak! People spend a lot of time and energy talking themselves out of doing something or even planning to do something that they have always wanted to do. The reasons are endless! I don’t have time, my kids are little, I don’t have money, I will do that when I retire. Nope you are going to “plan” it right now!

It might be skydiving, a trip to Europe, a plane ride, a roller coaster ride, taking a Zumba class, learning French, visiting a friend, going to a spa, eat sushi, volunteer at a homeless shelter, etc. I don't even care what it is, just plan something...anything...that you have been putting off!

Here is what you are to do today:

1) Pick something that you have wanted to do for a while, something that you are really excited about or passionate about. Something that you have made many excuses not to do, until now.

2) Set a date to start, enroll or try this new thing. The date cannot be longer then a year from today, unless it is a trip to Europe or around the world. But DO NOT set the date longer then five years out!

3) If money is at all on issue, find a jar, a piggy bank or an empty bottle and label it. Put all of your change in the jar, everyday. Then, if you can, put the same amount in every payday $5, $10 or $50 whatever you are comfortable with. You can even sell things, have a rummage sale or pick up some extra hours, but make funding your excursion a fun focus.

4) Excuses are null and void here, they do not apply, in other words, it is your mission to make this thing happen. Not to name a million reasons why it won’t, because we already know that you can do that just fine! This is a mission to overcome the limits that you have set for yourself.

This is not just a self indulgent moment or exercise, the purpose of this exercise is to start over ruling your old belief system. The belief system that keeps you limited. This belief system of “I can’t” or “It’s just the way it is” affects aspects of your life that you are not even aware of. This is a pattern and a way of life for many of you, this is trained behavior....not the way life works! We are starting with baby steps here and then you will have the confidence to let this new mentality spill over into other areas of your life! Good Luck!

Coming Soon Soul Nourishment Series....Day 3!

Soul Nourishment Series…Day 1!

Today is going to be a fun day. This is going to be about giving to others and acknowledging what you already have (cause let’s face it, you take it for granted that you have a home, etc.). Well it is time to wake up and smell the coffee so to speak!

Today I want you to take the focus off of yourself and what you don’t have and start looking at other people and how you might be able to help them. Many people are in the same boat as yourself, and many people are in a situation that is much, much, worse! Yes, I said it, much worse! Cause if you are reading this article, somehow you have access to a computer and you are not struggling to find clean water to drink…need I say more? This day is not about how you need help but how you can help one other person, you know…pay it forward kind of day!!!

Anyone can do this, whether it is money or time, here are some ideas:

1) Give money to someone in need. You can give $5, $1 or a $100 it doesn’t matter. Not to your kids, or family…this is about giving with no ties and no need for acknowledgement about the giving. Tip someone more than usual, donate some money to charity. However you want to do it.

2) Give some of your time. If you are a professional, donate 15 minutes or an hour of expertise. Donate babysitting time or volunteer!

3) Give clothes or items. There are almost always items around your house that you do not use, wear, or need. This is almost always true with toys and clothes. You can give them to a shelter, someone moving, toys for tots, Salvation Army, whatever!

4) Give food.  Give to someone in need, a dinner or a can of soup, it doesn’t matter.

A lot of times people feel that a can of soup or a dollar is so little that it does not mean much. That is the wrong perspective, this day it is about the intent of helping someone in need, not how much you can give. The intent of helping people is very powerful! Can you imagine if even half of the population did this tomorrow? Can you image the energetic effect that it would have, the love behind the giving and receiving? Powerful!!!!

REMOVE ALL JUDGEMENT!!!! This is not your time to judge why anyone else is in their situation! It is your time to find love in your heart and give from there....that is all....nothing less, nothing more. Giving should just be that..giving!

Would love to hear about what you give, inspire others and post your experience...

"Everyone has Soul DNA," author says

Here is a wonderful article that I was featured in by the Rapid City Journal!

‘Everyone has soul DNA,’ author says

‘Everyone has soul DNA,’ author says

Mary Garrigan Journal staff Rapid City Journal | Posted: Saturday, May 7, 2011 6:45 am 

 

Psychic Jennifer O'Neill is the author of "Soul DNA." She is seen here on Tuesday, March 15, 2011. (Ryan Soderlin/Journal staff)

Information

“Soul DNA,” by Jennifer O’Neill costs $11.95 and is available through her website at www.soul-dna.com or www.jenniferopsychic.com. To schedule a speaking engagement or consultation, call O’Neill at 808-753-0920 or go to info-soul-dna.com

Ignore your soul’s DNA at your own peril, says Jennifer O’Neill.

O’Neill, a psychic who worked for many years in Rapid City before moving to Hawaii in 2007, has written a book, “Soul DNA,” which encourages people to find everything from spiritual happiness to financial success by identifying and using their metaphysical gifts.

“Everyone has soul DNA,” said O’Neill, who defines the term as the God-given abilities and talents that only need to be developed to bring abundance to life.

Her own spiritual gifts were apparent early in life.

“It’s something I just assumed everybody was. I didn’t know any different,” she said of her intuitions about future events and other people. “I just get pictures,” she said, describing her premonitions as memories of the future.

By high school, she was trying to deny her psychic abilities, but the day she was involved in a four-car accident on her way home from school after ignoring a warning about it, she decided that was a bad idea. “There’s a whole burden that comes with seeing these things,” she said.

She believes everyone has intuition, a gut feeling that is often ignored and goes undeveloped in most people. “But you don’t call it psychic intuition, because I think it freaks people out,” she said.

Over the years, she’s alerted many family members and friends about health concerns, career advice and financial issues, and made a living in the metaphysical industry as a psychic and spiritual guide in Rapid City. She and her husband have two children, ages 17 and 21, and live in Kailua, Hawaii, where she works as a psychic and spiritual guide. She also does readings by telephone and email, she said.

“I don’t need you to be sitting here in front of me,” she said.

Ninety percent of people who consult psychics do so because they are confused or conflicted about a decision or making some kind of transition in their life, O’Neill said.  Her job isn’t just to tell them what the future holds, but to show them the route to happiness for themselves, she said.

“We’re really built with all the things to make us successful in life already in us,” she said. “We’re here to learn what those are.”

“Soul DNA” is her first book, but O’Neill says she’s a fourth-generation psychic in the Fahey family.

She was back in Rapid City earlier this spring to visit her grandparents, Pat and Lucy Fahey. Her father is Bob Fahey.  She traces the family’s intuitive gifts to her great-grandfather, a Filipino medicine man.

“It’s sort of genetic, I think,” she said.

While in the area, she did readings for many clients she still has in the area.

“I notice that there is a great need for hope and knowing that things can be easier economically and spiritually in the area every time that I come back,” she said.

“Soul DNA” explores spiritual topics like happiness, past lives, free will, meditation and end-of-life issues, since O’Neill believes that human death is simply the release of the spiritual being from the physical body. She also interprets the Law of Attraction, which she says is one of the better-known of the Laws of the Universe.

The book is getting great response, she said.

“People love the detail and are telling me that they like it better than ‘The Secret.’ I feel that there is a definite void that has been left by ‘The Secret,’ leaving people searching for more, and my intent was to help people fill this void and implement changes into their own life,” she said.
