The Physical Sensations of Emotion

Posted on September 18, 2022 by Crystal Nuding

Our emotions. They’re so powerful.

They can make a terrible situation tolerable or make a great situation miserable. All based on what we’re thinking in a moment.

We’re willing to go through a difficult situation for someone we love, while telling them, it’s no trouble and we’re so happy to do it.

And we can also feel unnecessarily forced in a moment by circumstances we feel we have to control, whereby making a perfectly reasonable activity uncomfortable and sticky.

And all these emotions and mental chatter are about one thing…. an uncomfortable physical sensation in your body. That, if you’d focus on (without thinking about) for just a moment and allow to relax, could in an instant, change your whole world forever.

Dr. Joe Dispenza has described emotion as “energy in motion”. I absolutely agree. This recognition is a large part of conscious creation and makes life a whole lot simpler. Yes, please and thank you!

The Trouble With That IS

If we’re constantly living in an overly emotional state we can never relax. We’re always wound up or exhausted. Wired for sound or absolutely dead on our feet.

From this place of emotional living we never allow our bodies a moment to come down from the survival mode we’ve been living in for the past ___ years.

But, when we understand that the ONE SINGLE thing that keeps us feeling emotional is, the way we’re thinking when we’re feeling what we’re feeling.

And if we can just stop. STOP. Relax and breathe. Take our mind offline.

Stop thinking and just feel what the physical sensation of _____ feels like.

What is it? Fear, worry, anger, upset, frustration, irritation?

Where do I feel it? Stomach, hips, lower? Chest, shoulders, throat, head?

Can I sit with and allow my body to feel what it’s feeling?

Can I relax my mind around the stories of the emotion, while honoring my physical body to release this old trauma programing?

These physical sensations are there for us to notice, if we’re willing to notice. And when we do, we’re free. It’s only our mind that keeps these stories and uncomfortable feelings swirling around in our bodies and world.

This is our own personal power.

This is our ability to make good decisions, all the time.

This is our connection to our intuition and highest source.

Power Hour

I’m leading a live Power Hour in my hometown and it’s fantastic! It has been so warmly embraced. People really needed the love and support.

I’m creating a space for folks to come in, set aside their busy mind and relax their bodies around stress and struggle. I guide them through breathing and moving around uncomfortable feelings to allow the emotions to be released without much effort.

The results are physical relief from pain and emotional tension, along with long term mental/emotional struggles being relieved and resolved.

It has been my intention to grow a wider circle of Conscious Creators around me and it’s been such a blessing to watch them show up in real life. Thank you, Lockhart!!

For those of you that aren’t in my area but would like to participate in a Power Hour… email, text, call, message, send a smoke signal or comment on this post.

We can do it individually or in groups.

Get your like minded friends together and collectively support each other in letting go of all your shit.

It’s a beautiful thing.

I love you so much!

Let the Triggering Commence!

Posted on September 4, 2022 by Crystal Nuding

You know what it is, conscious creators. Fuel.

Fuel for the fires of spiritual growth and ascension. Yes, please and thank you! Bring it on.

When we understand “triggers” in this way, we’re never concerned about being triggered. Or triggering someone ourselves.

Which, by the way, happens to me all the time.

I’m a “triggerer”. I tend to speak plainly and in a real way about real things. Not everyone likes that.

Recent Revelations

I was triggered into getting real REAL with someone the other day. Wowza. Did that NOT go over well.

(It happens to the best of us. Everyone in fact. So, quit worrying about it and Aikido that shit, use it to your benefit.)

I will absolutely admit to being triggered into that total realness and was having to breathe through some pretty intense feelings in my body.

After enduring things over and over, one gets to the point of needing to say something. So I did.

For days after the exchange, I was still moving energy around it, questioning everything, and I struck gold. (As is likely to happen when you move the energy and question everything.)

What triggered me about the exchange was an action and way of behaving that I have encountered more in my life than I want and instead of smiling and nodding and pretending to laugh at it, which I normally do, I didn’t.

I spoke my truth and said what I needed to say. I didn’t cuss and I wasn’t ugly. Though, my stern voice, I’ve been told can get a little loud. Who fucking cares? I don’t regret a word I said.

Moving Onward and Upward

And after the interaction, I got clearer and clearer about why I was so irritated.

My own painful memories of a much younger time surfaced for me to notice, acknowledge and release. Yes, please and thank you!

This beautiful soul was the teacher I needed to help me let go of some very old, crusty energy that, were I focused on it because of someone more important to me (say, an original player in the drama) it would have been much more difficult.

But, as it were, this was just a bit player in my life story. Not a foundational character that I can’t live without.

And isn’t this just exactly like most of the frustration and irritation in our lives? They aren’t THAT important. They’ve just shown up to help us uncover more of ourselves we’ve kept hidden because we didn’t know how to let it go.

Conscious creators understand that everything that triggers us in our lives is FOR OUR BENEFIT. And when you look at it that way, it is.

Saying someone is wrong for triggering us and holding them responsible for our feelings will only insure we have that sort of interaction again.

Whereas moving through the energy of the exchange and receiving the wisdom inherent in every situation will move us to a whole new level of consciousness and existence that we’ve yet to experience.

One in which we aren’t so constantly triggered by every upsetting and irritating story that scrolls across whatever screen we may currently be viewing.

Learning to Release the Trigger.

We don’t always have to get so real with folks. And it would have been my preference to NOT have had that exchange, because I care about people and don’t want to upset them. (And this more of me taking responsibility for other’s feelings… ha! See how this goes?)

But, here we are. All is well and I’ve just leveled up. Yes, please and thank you!

Can I see the current drama, trauma and insanity in our world today as an indicator that something better is coming?

What am I currently focused on that is causing me the most stress?

Is there another way to see it that serves me better?

Where do I carry that stress in my body?

I’m here to help folks alchemize that energy and those emotions into pure gold that they get to use. And when we understand that energy is the real currency we begin to see the true power in this.

I’ve described it as carrying around multiple 20lb bags of ice or being lifted and moved along by the steam that powers engines.

It’s all your energy and you get to choose in which way you engage with it.

Are you carrying it or is it carrying you?

It’s so much more fun to buoyed along, than to drag around the weight of the world.

I invite you to experience it for yourself.

I love you so much,
Crystal

On Asking Others

Posted on August 28, 2022 by Crystal Nuding

Have you ever noticed how often we ask others what’s right or wrong? What’s good or bad? Asking and hoping someone else will make the decision process easier for us.

I’m amazed at the little sheep we humans can be needing others to tell us what is acceptable or not.

PRO TIP: No one can tell YOU what’s right for YOU.

One more time in case you missed it. No one else can tell you what’s right or wrong for you.

That’s for us to figure out.

Each of us, individually, for our own selves. Not to be redundant or anything.

When you know how to find out how you truly feel about all things, you’ll no longer be trapped by the group think/hive mind that keeps people in situations they don’t like and wouldn’t choose, if it weren’t for the outward appearance of others choosing it as well.

This is the trouble with social media sites that have the ability to censor real live human beings while allowing fake, controlled accounts to flood the news feed. It creates an illusion of consent that isn’t necessarily there.

What if you knew how to discover your truth for yourself?

What if you never had to ask anyone else for advice or support in “figuring” something out.

What if the answers to all of your questions and wildest wonderings were available to you when you needed them?

Well, you can, you don’t and they are.

That’s not to say you can’t talk out what you need to talk out with whomever you do that with, it just means that ultimately you’ll make your own decision no matter what they might say.

Connection to Your Highest Knowledge

Your physical body is an instrument panel that is constantly giving you feedback based on the experiences you’re living.

Learn to read it and you’re golden. You have the keys to the kingdom. You are in complete control of your life, health and happiness.

When you’re asking another, you assume they know better than you, otherwise you wouldn’t ask them. I know this from my own personal experience.

But, what we really want is peace, ease, joy, health, inspiration and excitement. These can’t always come from other peoples answers.

When we learn to tune in to our own instrument panel for better connection and our higher knowing about all things, our lives become infinitely easier.

My ability to discern has grown exponentially and continues to expand every day.

Truth or manipulation, love or fear, concern or control… important questions to ask ourselves and very easy to determine by tuning into our instrument panel.

I’m here to help you get closer to you.

I want to help you tune into your own instrument panel, not mine.

You’ll get so grounded in your own inner knowing that nothing on Earth could shake your peace.

I’m ready when you are.

Schedule here.

I love you so much,
Crystal

Recognizing Nature’s Way

Posted on May 6, 2022 by Crystal Nuding

Spending time in my garden in the mornings always provides such wonderful insight.

No matter what’s happening in my life Mother Nature soothes and inspires me every time. Even when my first reaction has a negative slant. (This isn’t what I want, this is hard… ya know, that ol’ chestnut!)

As a conscious creator I recognize mental anguish and physical discomfort as an invitation to release myself from a situational (vibrational) loop started by a belief that didn’t serve me.

It’s a powerful thing to understand, which allows us to more easily control our emotions and not be sideswiped by negative mental chatter.

Allowing Support

I’ve been spending a fair amount of time picking off squash vine borer eggs from my squash plants. They are as relentless at leaving them as I am of searching for and picking them off.

But, I’ll tell you. I’m tired. I want to relax. And that gal has no other objective in life than to do what she’s doing. That just feels like an uphill struggle.

So, to more fully support myself and my garden, I’m learning to feed my soil.

I’m taking Dr Elaine’s Soil Foodweb program and am in the process of starting my first (biocomplete!) compost pile so I can make sure the right microbes are in the soil to provide the perfect mix of nutrients my plants need to protect themselves from this sort of attack.

And voila! Nature’s way. Yes, please and thank you!!

We puny humans are no match for Mother Nature so I’m supporting myself by learning how to work in harmony her.

In nature, all systems support each other. Here’s to humanity coming into alignment with this principal and learning how to put it into a sustainable practice.

Reality Check!

As I’m writing this, I’ve run 2 cats and a squirrel (3 times!) out of my garden space. I can’t stop giggling about the irony.

Welcome to humanity, I say.

I’m human! What happens when I’m not looking… happens.

But, If I’m around… I’m going to run out hollering with arms flailing. This is where I am.

When I move the energy around it one of two things will happen… 1) I’ll do something different. Or 2) they’ll stop fucking with my shit. Either way works for me because I’ll feel better first!

I also encourage some things to come into my garden and enjoy themselves… like the two Black Swallowtail caterpillars resting between feasts on my curly parsley.

Aren’t we humans fickle? Rules for some, but not for all?

The trick is to find the value in every single experience and learn for the next opportunity.

We all have different objectives and agendas.

My motto is “For everyone and everything’s highest good. No exceptions.”

And so it is.

Keep Growing!

Another thing I know about Mother Nature’s way is that if we humans just stopped harmful practices, everything would return to balance.

Much like our negative thinking being the only thing that keeps us bumping into things we don’t like or want. It’s only our negative farming and land practices that keep our soil, livestock and human bodies nutrient deficient and depleted. The moment we withdraw our harmful inputs the healing begins again.

As I roam around my garden pulling up baby tree and shrub seedlings that are everywhere, I see how God wants us to just keep moving forward planting our seeds of love, support and connection. Don’t look back at what didn’t materialize or come to full fruition, just keep moving forward planting our seeds.

The moment those seeds put their tiny roots into the soil, they are contributing to the soil community, releasing exudates and calling forth microbes with the sugars it releases from the process of photosynthesis and pulling carbon out of the atmosphere. Super helpful to the soil and all life on Earth.

And the very moment I pull them out of the ground, room is made where the roots have been released which opens the space for more movement through the soil. Oxygen floods into those spaces further supporting healthy microbial life and the plant material is either left in place to provide armor for the soil and further nutrients for the microbes, or put in a compost pile for more of the same. Super helpful to the soil and all life on Earth.

There’s benefit in each scenario. Cool, huh?

It’s About Relationships

No man is an island. No one goes through life alone. We weren’t meant to.

We’re here because of nature, dependent on nature.

In my estimation our ultimate, big picture goal is to live in creative cooperation with one another and all living beings in our environment to create Heaven on Earth.

Plants don’t thrive singularly either. They need their plant community around them, the more diverse the better.

And the microbial life in the soil those plants are living in? They need that same sort of diversity in the life around them, providing the vital, highly bio-available nutrients the plants need, while storing the carbon the plants have pulled from the atmosphere.

It’s amazing! And absolutely beautiful. The perfect system where every “pest” has a purpose and if you’re calling it waste, you just haven’t figure out how to utilize it yet.

LIFE!

Whether what we’re looking at is what we want, or what we don’t want. Our opportunity is right now.

As a conscious creator…

Am I walking my talk?

Am I anchoring in the reality I’d prefer by moving through life in ways that support that?

Or am I acting like there is such a thing as “a problem”?

I get to choose in every single moment.

The time is now.

Take a deep breathe in, audible (Ahhhhh) sigh on the outbreath. Do that a few more times. Feel yourself relax. Allow the mind to come down as well. It’s all energy and it’s all moving.

Quietly connect to that all loving power greater than ourselves. The source of all life.

Ask for higher perspective. Ask for support and inspiration and then, say Thank you!

Now, we listen, in this moment and throughout the day for the answers. The answers will come in the form of feelings, ideas, inspiration, the right person showing up and unexpected opportunities. Be open to them and pay attention to what you’re hearing, noticing and experiencing.

These are super exciting times we’re living in. The shifting of paradigms is intense at times and learning to flow in connection with nature will support you in more ways that you presently know.

Take good care.

I love you so much!

Turn It Around

Posted on November 20, 2021 by Crystal Nuding

No matter what direction you’re headed, you can always turn it around.

Mentally, emotionally, physically… you can turn around your life, your health, your career, your relationships, even the soil and our environment… every single thing can be turned around.

In any given moment, you have within your ability to turn anything around.

What a relief! So, now that we know the bigger picture, take a deep breath and relax. The rest is just details.

Now For the Details

Have you ever changed jobs or moved to a new house and found yourself driving toward the old location? Then what happened? Did you keep driving to the old place? I doubt it, you probably snapped to, laughed to yourself and adjusted your course to your new destination. No big deal.

This is exactly the work of turning around our mental and emotional state. We remember our new destination is health, peace and joy so we turn around as quickly as we can when we find ourselves headed in the opposite direction.

So, the only way things couldn’t turn around is if we are UNWILLING to turn them around. And that’s something we each have to work through individually. No one is creating in our reality. It’s just us.

I decided in my 20’s I would rather be happy than right. I thank God everyday I made that particular decision. Yes, please and thank you.

How To Turn It Around

First, just imagine what it would be like if you could easily do that emotionally and mentally? Just turn it around and get yourself moving in the direction of your own peace, health and joy.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to let go of the old story lines of anger, resentment, dis-ease, frustration, irritation, indecision, upset or overwhelm?

This idea of a mental/emotional detox is actually a life saving perspective and tool for the empaths among us.

If you aren’t an empath, you might think this isn’t important. But be assured, it’s highly valuable for everyone to actually feel what they feel in their own body for the good information it is and to release it and allow it to move. This opens the space for things to be better and more in alignment with your highest values and ideals.

Did you keep every book you ever borrowed from the library? Or did you read it, gather the information and return the book? Same thing goes with our feelings, we experience them for us to gather the information we need about what we’re currently facing. Honesty and discernment are our best tools for sorting through this information for what’s real and true and what’s not.

If you can begin to think about being able to easily say thank you, let it go and turn it around, you’ve got a lot better chance of actually doing it. After all, everything starts in our mind.

Get To The Root

This is the #1 cause for addiction of any sort and substance abuse, trying to numb something or feel something. Mentally and emotionally detoxifying yourself is your own personal entry point into unravelling the programming needed to address those issues honestly.

We should want to (be able to) let go of the old stories we continue to tell ourselves and others. And we can. We can have healthy, happy mental and emotional lives that allows for the familial and community connections all humans crave.

This is how our bodies naturally work when we acknowledge our own feelings and allow them to inform us. And properly using that information is how we detoxify our system mentally and emotionally.

When you allow the physical energy of the emotion to be felt and acknowledged it can then be understood and acted upon. That’s what I call turning it around.

And Even Better

What’s even better than just being able to control your emotions, enjoying physical health and joyful connection with others? Your body will change as well.

Releasing toxic mental and emotional baggage allows your body to begin functioning at a higher level. You’ll notice you feel better and have more energy. You’ll want to do things that are good for your body and you’ll notice that crap food will begin to taste like it. You’ll feel how good it feels to feel good and you’ll be inspired to more action that feels genuinely good. Not trying to numb/feel something to get away from yourself.

You’ll begin to notice how food, tv, show’s, conversations, social media apps, FEEL when participating or engaging in them and be able to make the decision to either stop doing it or move the energy around that particular situation. And it’s up to you in every moment.

The quicker we turn around negative thought patterns or habitual physical practices the easier it will be to create change quickly.

You still have free will to do it the old way, but with my life and experience I’ll go with mine.

I invite you to explore your thoughts and feelings to see how they’re working out for you. What situations or relationships in your life could use turning around?

PS… Yep, we can even turn around climate change. Read Gabe Brown’s book Dirt to Soil (or listen to the linked podcast) to see how turning around our current “Big Ag” model will be a major step toward environmental sustainability.

And, my words, not his… Doing the right things for ourselves and our environment won’t require us to pay major money to corrupt politicians to fly private jets to climate crisis summits. It’s a win, win!

Just Say Thank You

Posted on November 16, 2021 by Crystal Nuding

No matter what’s happening right now, no matter what you’re dealing with, say thank you.

If you’re awake/conscious enough to read these words, you have something to say thank you for.

Even if you don’t think you have something to be thankful for, chances are you have even more things to say thank you for.

When things are good, say thank you.

When things are GREAT, say thank you.

When things are bad, say THANK YOU.

It’s easy to count our blessings and say thank you in good times, but it isn’t easy when we’re in struggle to say thank you. And sometimes, even harder to mean it.

But, say it, even if you don’t mean it at first.

Say it even if you don’t yet understand why you should. Say it anyway. Thank you.

We have all the blessings we have because we appreciated them. And that’s how we keep them.

But, funnily enough, it’s also the quickest way to get through the hardest times.

Saying thank you, moves you toward what you would be thankful for, even if you don’t understand how.

“Be content with what you have, rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”
Lao Tzu

Say Thank You.

When you say “thank you” for your struggle or upset, your mind will begin giving you clues as to how this is going to be of benefit. You don’t have to figure it out. You can’t figure it out, certainly from the space of experiencing the problem.

But, you can say thank you, and that will start you down the beautiful path of understanding.

Even IF it is only to see that we don’t like a particular thing or behavior and will henceforth discontinue use of or association with said thing or behavior. “GREAT! Thank you. I mean that. Thank you for the information. I was on the fence before, but NOW, I get it. Thank you struggle. Thank you upset. You have given me the most powerful information I could ask for.”

Now, don’t use this opportunity to make someone bad or wrong. Just decide it’s not for you and go in a different direction. No need to fight, yell or cuss. “Oh, hey, this is NOT for me, great, Thank you.” (The advanced work is now questioning where this need to continually blame other’s and hold grudges comes from… hmmmmm?)

As a Conscious Creator… there is no need to be mad about it or try to force change. Appreciate it as the good information it provided and move on. Yes, please and thank you. For the rest of your life. Rinse and repeat. Forever and ever. Amen.

What sucks in your life today that you can start saying thank you for?

How wonderful will it be when you gain the peace and mental clarity around your particular situation that will allow you to then issue a true, heartfelt and hearty THANK YOU? Whew! What a relief. Yes, please and thank you.

I love this part. It always happens, once I’ve moved through my initial upset and kneejerk response. We’re human after all. Getting mad at ourselves over our habitual responses just adds to the time it takes to move through the energy. Endeavor to let that go as soon as possible.

And as you do, your “habitual responses” will shift as well. You’re less disturbed by others out of alignment (people that do bad/dumb/mean things) and you begin to support the shift of the whole toward more love, cooperation and harmony.

You’ve got enough to deal with. There’s enough on your plate. Let yourself off the hook first. Then let everyone else in the world off the hook. Bless all hearts.

As we move into the holiday season, I want to remind you that Thanksgiving can be every day. Just without all the cooking and clean up. And when it is you’ll find you have more and more to be thankful for.

Shifting the energy and feeling the peace of 10 Zen monks is actually attainable… without spending 40 years in a cave. You only need be willing to let shit go and say thank you.

Support yourself this holiday season by moving through difficult situations and conversations with ease and grace. You can’t control everything, but you can control yourself, and that can be much easier than you think.

Sign up for one of my subscriptions for steady support in creating actual peace and joy in your life this holiday season.

Close out 2021 on a high note and sail smoothly into 2022 feeling the best and most excited you’ve been in years.

I’m here for it!

Take good care.

Let It GO

Posted on November 9, 2021 by Crystal Nuding

Whatever you’re holding onto… mentally, emotionally, physically or vibrationally, that doesn’t serve you anymore, LET IT GO.

Old stories, old events, old occurrences that you witnessed, participated in or maybe, actually, only heard about. Let that go, too.

If it isn’t 100% relevant in making your life better today, let it go.

So, that means if someone you know did something they probably weren’t proud of 11 years ago, LET THAT SHIT GO.

They don’t want to hear about it. And it has nothing to do with you. That was on THEM back then, but when you bring it up today, it’s on YOU. Let it go.

The only thing you need to concern yourself with, is yourself. You deal with you. If you make it about someone else, that’s YOUR problem. Let it go.

If it isn’t going to make the situation better, let it go.

We’ve all done things we aren’t proud of. And literally the fact that we’re not proud of them is what allows us to learn what we needed to learn, and now we get to move on. So let’s all move on.

There is NOTHING wrong with making mistakes, even making the same mistake multiple times. These things happen and no one is perfect. Let it go.

But, if you need to point out other people’s mistakes while completely ignoring your own, YOU have a problem. You can let that go, too!

When you find yourself dwelling on something someone else has done, stop thinking for a moment and feel what you feel, physically in your body.

Where is it? Stomach, chest, throat, neck, shoulders, etc…

What is the major emotion you’re feeling? Anger, resentment, exhaustion, etc.

Have you ever done anything wrong?

What did you do wrong?

Did you correct it immediately after the first event? No? Why? You’re human?

OH! Good to know.

Now, guess what… we’re all human. Let it go.

It’s So Hard To Let Go

I know, I know. Bless us everyone.

The reason we have such a hard time MENTALLY letting go of what no longer serves us, is that we’ve got enough of that energy stored in our physical body to power a battleship.

So, even if it FEELS big and difficult to let go of, it doesn’t have to be.

It feels like it will be hard and painful.

It feels like it will hurt and be scary.

You know what, it can be uncomfortable. But, that’s only temporary and you’ve been uncomfortable for a long time. What’s a few more minutes?

Mental / Emotional Detox

When we think of detoxing, folks probably think first of detoxifying their bodies, and yes, that is vitally important. But even more important than detoxing our bodies is detoxing our mind and emotions.

I’m always interested in the quickest and easiest solutions. I’ve done long, drawn out and complicated. I’m all in for peace and ease these days.

And when you learn to move the upset you feel physically through your body, you’ll find you’re less emotional, more confident and less easy to upset. It’s a beautiful thing!

I’m great at helping folks mentally and emotionally detoxify their lives.

Reach out for support and more ease in letting things go.

Friendly Reminder

Posted on November 2, 2021 by Crystal Nuding

Good day, my friends.

This is a friendly reminder that you are an infinite being living/playing in a loving world that’s constantly conspiring for your greatest good.

Now… we can see this, or we can see the opposite of this.

And whichever that is, is the way it will be for us. And make no mistake, it will be what you say it is.

So, what do you want it to be?

How do you want the world to be?

Do you want the things happening around you to be for the greatest good?

Do you want all of your previous struggles to be for your benefit?

Can you see how transition can be messy and scary? Have NEVER had a bad haircut? It’ll grow back. Promise.

I will absolutely admit to forgetting this Truth.

Welcome To Humanity

When we think of the idea that God or the Universe loves us like a father, I have to laugh. My fathering experience wasn’t warm, fuzzy and nurturing. My raising felt much like that of a baby giraffe, and consequently, that’s how I’ve lived my life. (More about this in an upcoming blog on Blind Spots)

I’m realizing now, more and more, how often I don’t fully feel like I live in a world that loves and supports me. That’s not a familiar feeling for me personally, and I highly doubt I’m the only one.

But, fortunately, I’m in the business of moving energy and being comfortable with uncomfortable feelings, so I’m not the least bit disturbed. I do move through the emotions of sadness, I’m still human.

I feel the familiar feeling in my solar plexus of being on my own, without support. I hold in my heart the version of myself that has shown up in this moment, needing that support, and I breathe. I say bless my heart. We all came here to have the experiences we have, so we can learn the things we came here to learn.

If I didn’t get that, I wouldn’t be this.

And I came here to be this.

I love you so much.

I’m happy to feel what I feel and have gone through every single thing I’ve gone through to be able to tell you, you’ll be ok.

You too can get through this, feeling more joy and confidence with a deeper level of understanding of yourself, your life path, and the entire situation. The moment you realize it, you can’t help but let it go. Yes, please and thank you!

And that’s all we have to do to make major changes in our lives.

Just let go.

Let got of all the shit that doesn’t serve you anymore. Let go of needing things to be different. Let go of needing things to have BEEN different. They weren’t. It was what it was, and now it’s over. Learn from it and move on.

Stop believing in the struggle. Stop struggling. Set it down, lay it down, feel through it, appreciate it for the great information it was then and is today, and let it go.

There’s nothing to hold onto. Only things to let go of.

We’ve spent a lifetime learning the wrong way of looking at things.

This Un-Learning will be the most powerfully important thing you’ll ever do.

As you do you’ll remember life is a game, and the reality of life is LOVE.

Love IS and everything else isn’t.

Here’s to taking decisive action and letting it go!

God Bless us every single one.

Confessions of a Conscious Creator

Posted on September 29, 2021 by Crystal Nuding

Everybody has problems. Every single person in this world has problems. So I thought I’d share some of my struggles with you.

Oh, hey hey, you say. I thought you were a Conscious Creator? It’s SIMPLE, you say! Create your own reality, you say!

How can someone have struggles if they’re so good at creating their own reality?

Welcome To Humanity!

Being a conscious creator doesn’t mean that you’ll never have another struggle ever again.

It does mean, however, that any struggle you face, you’ll see as a catalyst for your own growth. You won’t be totally upset by anything and it will give you a higher level of conscious awareness as to which direction you should go next to move yourself closer to what you want.

Some folks may think I don’t have any troubles, because I don’t talk about them. I really only complain about petty and non-meaningful things, quickly, and often, in jest.

In all honesty, we’re human, we’ve all got “problems”.

But, if I am really, REALLY upset or worried about something, NO ONE will EVER know.

It’s one of my tricks as a Conscious Creator to move as quickly as I can through difficulties, without including a bunch of folks in a storyline I’d rather not play out.

I’m not saying to not talk things through. What I am saying is be careful who you take into your confidence. Only share with folks that will allow you to move quickly through the hard parts to come to the best decision you can for yourself and your family.

I Confess

I say Bless my heart all the time. There are any number of scenarios that can play out during a day that might frustrate or irritate me. My answer to that is “Bless my heart!”. All day every day. This is what life is about. Moving quickly through the difficult bits. Acknowledging the minutiae and being kind to yourself makes it much easier to get through.

I promise to do better 20 times a day. Though I want to do my best every time, sometimes, I fall short. But, I don’t give myself a hard time. I breathe through, shake it off and tell myself, “I’ll do better next time” and often times do. 🙂

I have aches and pains that I have to stop my mind from making into a thing. My mind can be every bit as unruly as the next person. I just don’t give it any leeway. I understand we are vibrational beings living in a vibrational universe and I tell myself as much when my mind tries to convince me it “could” be something else.

I feel frustrated, irritated and overwhelmed sometimes. My life isn’t perfect. I don’t have everything I want. Many things can seem difficult for me. So, I don’t try to think about, worry over or fix any of them. I tell myself it’s all Energy and it’s all moving and it always eventually does. I don’t rush myself or make it a big deal when it takes longer than I’d like.

I often wish I could use my hands to change things, which is supremely frustrating because I know the most powerful and easiest way to make real and lasting change is by moving the energy. But, that doesn’t preclude me from thinking “I’ve got to DO something!” on a fairly regular basis.

I feel uncomfortable when moving through the energy of… not wanting something because it’s someone else’s idea, even though it may be a good idea. Oh my gosh. This is so childish. Yet, here I find myself sometimes.

I’m sure I could come up with plenty more, but we’ll leave it here for now.

This Is All Human Nature

Move through the energy of all negative upset by allowing yourself to feel what the emotion feels like physically in your body, without telling yourself a bunch of unhelpful stories about what those feelings mean and EVERYTHING changes. Whew. Yes, please and thank you!

I’m working on a Free Course to introduce these ideas and concepts on my newsletter if you’d like to jump in and be part of helping me create that.

I need your feedback. I want your feedback. I’m here to help and I want to know what you need.

Be so easy about things. Don’t make them a big deal. Relax more about it and let unsettled feelings pass before you take any action.

Any amount of effort you give to this endeavor will yield results. And small wins gather much momentum when you focus on them.

Here’s to it!
Much Love,
Crystal

Prayers for Humanity

Posted on September 18, 2021 by Crystal Nuding

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I’ve been PRAYING a lot lately.

I hold the vision that each of us, in our own way, to our own higher power, are calling out for Peace and Love in the hearts of ALL during this most difficult time in our Nation’s history.

The way I pray now is much different than how I prayed when I was younger and had less understanding of the world, how it works and what God actually wants from me.

As a child my prayers always started like this…

Now I lay me, down to sleep
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep.
If I should die, before I wake.
I pray the Lord, my soul to take.

Early Updates

I knew instinctively, at a very tender age that I couldn’t ask God for things that I didn’t also ask for other people. So, I added an addendum to my prayer…

Dear Lord,

Please forgive me of all my sins,
and forgive everyone else in the world of all their sins.

Please help me make it through the night,
and please help everyone else in the world make it through the night.

I remember knowing, even as a small child, that not everyone was going to make it through the night. That when morning came, some people in the world would have passed away and some family would be sad about it. But, I prayed that prayer all the same. The reality of life would not stop me from asking for what I knew to be true and right and good.

I still say that prayer every night when I go to sleep. Same dang way. It always cracks me up and I am infinitely proud of my little small self for KNOWING that I want EVERYONE’S highest good. Whether I know or like them or agree with them or not.

It also has occurred to me that I’ve been praying for years for God to help us through this dark night. Whatever it is, for whomever. This dark night… we will make it through.

Current Happenings

I pray or meditate multiple times per day. When I’m irritated, upset, don’t know what to do, etc… I ask for clarity, guidance and support. I sit down and get still. I ask my higher power to be with me and help me make the best decision. This is also when I find the physical sensations of the emotional upset in my body and let it move. It’s a game changer. Everything is always working out.

I’ve added more addendums to my prayers …

Hey man! Walk with me, talk with me. (loving, friendly, familiar)
I want to see what you see.
I want to hear what you hear.
I want to say what you would have me say.
Be in my heart today, God.
Make me an instrument,
Of your Peace.
Of your Joy.
Of your Love.
All in your good time, God, not my time. 
YOUR will, not mine. 
I am open and available, thy will be done.
In Jesus name, I pray.
SO BE IT AND SO IT IS.

Whatever Works For You

You do you. Find your faith and pray joyful prayers of thanks for the good things you want for yourself and the entire world. Lay in the grass and breathe in Nature, and all the good there is in this world. Take a walk and wave to your neighbors, no matter what sign they have in their yard. Intend to see the world through God’s clear and loving eyes.

Say NO thank you, and turn off any news channel or personality that tries to divide you from ANYONE in your community. We need each other. Life is a team sport. We didn’t come here to agree on everything or to succeed alone. We came here to learn what we can and share it with others.

What I’ve learned and am trying to share is…

LOVE IS
and everything else, isn’t.
God IS LOVE.

This is all you need to really understand, to let go of the negativity and divisiveness.
That mindset and narrative is a mistake, intended confusion. It’s not real.

What’s real is love, connection and community. If the folks you are watching aren’t emulating this you’re watching the wrong stuff.

If YOU are someone that IS projecting something OTHER than LOVE, connection and community, I’d get radically honest and ask myself why.

When people act ugly or say ugly things, it says EVERYTHING about their own state of mind, and nothing about any person or subject they are disparaging.

Energy is running pretty high these days, folks.

Keep breathing and keep looking for ways to calm and soothe the situation.

I’m here to help.
I love you so much!!
