You meditate regularily. You're keeping your thoughts positive. You go to yoga, are a devotee of Gabrielle Bernstein, and drink the odd green juice.
You're doing everything "right", but you seem to be blocked in some way. Things aren't happening as fast as you'd like them to. You feel a bit scattered, as if all of your energy isn't in one place.
And that's because it isn't.
There's something that most speakers, authors, and motivational peeps aren't talking about. (With the exception of a few, namely Doreen Virtue and Kris Carr)
Our daily choices dictate whether our energy is aligned or scattered. |
And it all has to do with the daily choices we make. The places we choose to spend our dollars. I'm going to get right to the point:
Most if not all big box, brand name cleaning supplies, body products, clothing, and food products are ravaging the planet, as well as it's people, and animals.
Many toxins are found in shampoos, all purpose cleaners, etc that cannot be filtered out by our city's water system. They inevitably leach into our waterways - streams, rivers, and oceans, killing ecosystems, and affecting the quality of our air, our food, and our planet.
Companies like Johnson & Johnson, who own Band-Aid and Aveeno, and Procter & Gamble test on animals. They try out cleaning supplies and pesticides in alarming ways (like feeding dogs pesticides), corroding their bodies, and more.
Most clothing made in China (and beyond) comes from sweatshops, where workers are beyond inhumanely treated, forced to work insane hours to make yet another low quality sweater which may be thrown out in months.
From toothpaste to all purpose cleaner, the more natural & plant based, the better. |
On a manifestation level, when we say one thing and do differently, it's out of alignment with our truths.
When we feel love for the ocean, for animals, and for fair trade practices, yet we consistently put our money towards systems that are killing them, we aren't walking our talk. And as such, we don't take advantage of what happens when our actions reflect our beliefs - groundedness, authenticity, honesty. The very vibrations that help us to manifest quickly, and live joyously.
Please keep in mind, this is not about guilt. Previously, when you've purchased brands like Herbal Essences, Tide, and American Eagle, you didn't know what systems were behind them. You didn't know the backstory to each of those products.
This isn't about perfection either. It's about progress. One step at a time we can live more authentically. And while most of us aren't able to 100% get off these systems just yet (I'm still reliant on the oil & gas industry myself) it's important that we take the first step. That is the most important one.
So now you know the real story, it's time to empower yourself by changing these actions. Making over your entire product list may seem daunting, so start small. Change out one shiesty product for one ethical one every week, and watch your life change.
I promise. Your life will change.
Here's what I'd recommend:
Cleaning Supplies
Substitute with a brand like Seventh Generation, or make your own.
Body Products
Check out Sea Wench Naturals, Aubrey Organics, Jason, or support a local business.
Clothes
Try Ethical Ocean, Riva's Eco Store, or shop at trendy thrift stores!
Food
Shop Organic & Local whenever possible and always avoid GMOs (think non-organic corn, soy, and canola to start with)
I have made a lot of shifts in this area in the last 4 months (I am sure there are more positive changes I have yet to make, as well), but I can FEEL the difference. I'm not necessarily talking about manifestation "results"but more subtle shifts in my awareness which can only help in every area of life including manifestation - as if waking up from many years of being asleep.
ReplyDeleteImagine the shifts that will happen in the world as more people become aware. Very powerful indeed I think the key word is process. The Angels and the Universe/ God whatever phase people want to use to refer to source energy have a plan that has a much more grand and awe inspiring than anything we could dream on our own, and gradually, I feel everyone is being guided to the same light.
I look forward to reading the resources you've provided.
Thank you for sharing, even though it felt difficult for you.
Thanks for the awesome comment Deedre! Im glad you can share that you feel the differences once you switch over - definitely the case for me as well. You rock.
