Meaning of Conscious Living
Were you taught to believe that striving for perfection is a worthy goal since young? Perhaps, from the time when you were a child, you learnt that perfect scores are ideal. If you did not, you would be penalised even if it was just one mistake out of every ten correct ones. And so, you have been conditioned to believe that you need to be perfect – that is, without a flaw, failure or weakness.
What you crave for is approval, in the strive for perfection. The shadow side is the fear of rejection that you hold. You fear being ridiculed and not accepted for who you are if you are perceived as less than perfect.
Note that there is nothing wrong with wanting to produce your best work or hoping to present yourself in a good light. However, having a perfectionistic streak can have negative consequences. You are in the energy of “striving”, in seeking to meet a certain standard; failing which, you would shred yourself to pieces. The thought of imperfection makes you feel not-whole, incomplete, discontented and ill. The emotion that you experience is shame. There is a strong sense of disapproval towards the self.
A reader to my blog posed me this question: How to Ground Yourself. Well, it can be accomplished in a few ways. I would like to share my ideas in this article.
(Update: I’m republishing this post once again as the ideas are timeless and as I am still being asked “how to ground yourself” today.)
What Is Grounding?
Whenever I get a question about grounding, I am aware that mostly, my clients refer to spiritual grounding.

Are you hoping to get an absolute guarantee or proof that something or some idea will work first before you would consider putting in “trust” or effort?
Maybe it is a new coaching program, business venture, new life direction or even applying the principles of the Law of Attraction.
To set aside your skepticism, you’d like to be assured by an expert, coach or even a pyschic fortune teller that you’d achieve 100% success?
Well, it doesn’t quite work that way.Continue reading
Learn to recognise signs of inferiority complex. An inferiority complex is a state whereby you persistently believe and feel that you are not able to measure up to others. It is a sign of low self-esteem. The thought behind an inferiority complex is “I am not good enough”.
“The greater the feeling of inferiority that has been experienced, the more powerful is the urge to conquest and the more violent the emotional agitation.” – Alfred Adler
At least 95% of people have at one point or another encounter thoughts and feelings of inadequacy. However, you are said to have an inferiority complex should you constantly compare yourself with others. You see yourself as being in second place or falling short. Consequently, you feel poorly about yourself.
Are you drawn to idea of being able to create wealth with little or no money down?
If such an idea is true, it puts you in charge of your financial destiny; no matter what your family background is like.
We all know that money can be used to generate more money. Yet, some of us grapple with the self-defeating money belief that it is the only way for wealth creation. And so, if we don’t have the fortune of being born rich or are not smart enough to earn a decent amount of money each month, we mistakenly think that we are doomed to never get ahead.
Well, in recent years, I found out that while having the capital to generate income helps, having money – in itself – is not what it is that creates prosperity. Hence, it is possible to create wealth with little or no money down.
One of the best techniques I have learnt is about how to do water programming with positive affirmations.
The use of water for healing is nothing new. For instance, in churches, for centuries, blessings of water have often done for the purpose of baptism or for the blessing of persons, places or things. Hence, water programming can be used for just about anything that you wish for.
As such, I am going to suggest that you look into using water for carrying messages of positive affirmations on success, health, relationships, love, happiness and abundance, to every single cell of our body.
How to love yourself when you don’t know how?
It’s exactly what it was like when I first started realising that I needed to love myself but have no idea where to start.
I felt embarrassed that I was clueless and that I should already know this stuff. “How to love yourself” sounded like something that everyone ought to know from young. You see…by the time I became aware about the importance of self-love, I was already an adult, married and with young children.
I even found it surprising (and even laughable) to realise that I was clueless.
Surely, I should be some kind of an expert? After all, as I recalled, relationship matters had been a key focus since my younger days. My attention was on dating, partying and looking for a potential partner. Over cups of latte, I would have long conversations with my girlfriends about relationship issues. As things turned out, I found myself failing miserably in my early relationships. I was in and out of love.
By paying too much attention to your money gremlin stories, you sabotage your plans for prosperity. At the soul level, all of us are gifted with the blueprint for abundance and success. Yet, this individual blueprint can become corrupted by the negative voice inside your head.
“Through consistent sabotage, your Money Gremlin stops you from becoming your best self and aligning with your highest potential.”
For easy understanding, your Money Gremlin is the psychological personification of your limiting beliefs and negative emotions around finances. A Money Gremlin that has free rein is going to lay siege of your mind. You become sieged by limitation and lack. Over time, these money gremlin stories get programmed subconsciously (out of your awareness).

The Money Gremlin is the critical voice that goes inside your head on matters related to finance. If you are to go silent for a while, you will become aware that what occupies your mind is your self-talk. In fact, 80-90% of our self-talk tend to be negative.
And I am guessing that more women than men is likely to have a horrid looking money gremlin. Not too long ago, I had found out from a research study that women tend to be more stressed than men and for most women, our main source of stress comes from money.
With the Money Gremlin in charge, you are having this internal negative dialogue about finances all the time. If you are constantly having money worries or struggles, chances are you are being hypnotised by your Money Gremlin. It happens when you can’t stop thinking and fretting over finances. The non-stop chatter can also cause you to experience insomnia, keeping you awake at night.

Do you struggle with building self worth?
Perhaps, building self worth is an area that you have been grappling with for a long time. There were moments that you feel great about yourself but usually and mostly, you are in your old patterns of believing that you are not worthy or deserving. I have found that women, in particular, tend to undervalue themselves! It does not matter what profession or job they do. Some of my clients are corporate executives. Yet others are entrepreneurs. Many battle with low self-worth issues.
If this is true of you, I don’t blame you if you don’t even want to attend old class gatherings any more. I hear you. What is making you feel sick is thinking about how far behind you are from everyone in terms of success and everything else. Should there be one more picture of your friend’s perfect life being posted on Facebook, you swear that you are going to throw up.
