    • Time To Change

      Posted at 10:55 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on October 13, 2017

      How often have you said to yourself:  “I really need to do xyz” or “I really need to stop doing xyz.”  Speaking for myself,  thousands of times.  The “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts” put pressure on us and imply that yucky feeling word…guilt.

      Each and every time we think and/or say those words we add to the negative expression of ourselves.  That need to do or don’t do, the very thought of those words causes negative feelings in the body.  In that moment, there’s an immediate feeling of not being who or what we are supposed to be, whether we’ve set the expectation or someone else has.

      The thing is, we are always everything we are supposed to be all the time, in every moment.  There is never a second that goes by where we are anything but.

      It’s about changing the energy around the “need” to do something to one of gentle intention, the feeling of having a choice about the matter rather than a pressure to accomplish whatever it is you’re wanting to accomplish.  Sometimes we may not have a “choice”, it just has to be done.  That’s fine, but take that energy you’d usually create as pressure to do it and soften it, love it and allow it to flow through you and into what it is you’re doing.  That is acting out the vibration of love.

      So, go wash those dishes, get ready for work, get that degree and take the time to change your thoughts and feelings around how you do those things.  It’s your choice.  Much Love xox

    • Merging with the Collective

      Posted at 11:25 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on March 3, 2015

      “When we quit thinking primarily about ourselves and our own self-preservation, we undergo a truly heroic transformation of consciousness.”

      ~Joseph Campbell

      The inclination of us humans is to hold on to what is familiar and comfortable as opposed to opening up to novel or other ways of being.  With the ever-present urge we innately have for expansion, at some critical point holding on becomes less appealing and a greater sense of awareness about our true nature and our place in the cosmos emerges.  This transformation is the shedding off of old beliefs, thought patterns and behaviors as we merge with the ever-present consciousness of who we really are, thus raising the collective consciousness of divine love that is the beginning and end of everything.

    • Finding Our Bliss

      Posted at 9:25 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on January 18, 2015

      I love the question “Are you happy?”  When asked, it begs the follow-up question “What makes you happy?”

      How many of us can answer that truthfully?  In other words, how many of us know?

      We’re here to discover our bliss.  We’re here to love ourselves enough to live the life of our dreams.  Rather than dim down our strengths that can help us realize our goals, we have the opportunity to nurture them and journey through the process of watching them manifest.

      Here’s to you and your dreams!

      xoxo

    • Loving Ourselves

      Posted at 12:12 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on December 10, 2014

      I have some experience with the challenges around this topic.  My inclination had always been to put others’ needs first before mine, to minimize my needs so as to accommodate others.  While that is absolutely necessary in life, a balance needs to be created between dispensing our energy and energizing ourselves.

      We need to get in order to give.

      How do we replenish ourselves of the energy we give away?  Through loving ourselves.  That’s it.  The love we give away must be equal to the love we show ourselves.  Otherwise, we end up depleted and defeated.  The challenge here is that often we hold the belief we don’t deserve it.  For some reason, we don’t feel as worthy of receiving as those who receive.

      As we live our lives, we often lose touch with the loving, divine beings we are.  We are made up of pure love.  The energy that fuels us is love energy.  That love energy is what makes up the universe.  That universal energy is flowing through us and is everywhere, all the time. It’s an unbroken cycle.  If we lack the love for ourselves that we endeavor to give away, we disconnect from that universal love. We temporarily break and disconnect from our source.  Without source energy flowing through us, we deplete our own.  We cannot give what we don’t have.  So if we truly want to share with and serve others with our love, we must connect and replenish with the love of the universe.

      Make sense?  Let me know your thoughts!

      Love To You!!

    • Feel Rather Than Think

      Posted at 8:22 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on June 8, 2014

      The connection between what we think and what we feel is well established.  But then, why do so many of us walk around feeling bad? If we know that what we think creates our inner environment, isn’t it intuitive that we’d think only good things?

      This is the Great Challenge of life.  Our lives have the potential to be a seamless flow of natural joy, joy that is always present, but blocked by our negative thoughts.  When we cultivate awareness of who and what we are, we can more easily take notice of the things that we identify as non-joyful because they cause us to feel bad.  Once we’ve identified what makes us feel bad, we can then look at our part in it.  In so doing, there is opportunity for change and spiritual growth.  That is what we are here for.  

      I intend to feel good today.  

      Love to you!

    • Lesson One: Live In Awareness

      Posted at 12:37 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on January 17, 2014

      I have a sister blog called Lessons In Love:  Twelve Principles For Daily Living and wanted to share a bit here….please visit LIL to read more….xoxo

      What does it mean to be Aware

      It means to have the knowledge that you and everything contained in all there is are one.  There is no separation between you, me, nature, the stars, and so on.  All of it is the collective “We”.

      We are, I am, the Alpha and the Omega.

      With this awareness, there is no separation from anyone or anything.  When the “I” becomes “We”, our entire world takes on new meaning.  There is a shift in perception that re-creates the bond with the infinite divine that was fully present in our awareness before birth, and is challenged in the face of the duality of this world, only to be fully present once again through re-experiencing our true nature.  We may have this experience here, in our body, if we choose to.  In our physical and nonphysical form we have, and always have, free will.

      My experience in both near death and this life on earth is that we are seamless forms of consciousness, only here we are not always aware this is so.

      How do we cultivate awareness?  First, by acknowledging the possibility that what we see isn’t all there is.  What we experience in physical form is only one part of the story, and no matter which part we experience, it is just as important as another.  There are no exceptions, but, we always have free will to choose what kind of experience we have.  We have the ability to change our reality at any moment in time.
