FEEL THE FEAR AND FREE YOURSELF!

By Eoin Scolard

FEAR is sweeping the world. Property prices are falling. People are losing their jobs. Unemployment is rising, everyone is desperately holding on to what they have, and most people really fearful about the future. The papers are full of it, the online media are full of it – and our heads are full of it ! This way of thinking is beamed out to everyone on the planet – as if it’s the truth. The more we talk about it and the more we read about it, the more real we make it.

Yet, if we looked more deeply at it, we would see that it all comes from FEAR. We have enough technology, knowledge and resources for everyone to live a fulfilled and happy life, well fed and nourished by this wonderful planet we live on. We COULD produce enough food so that everyone would have enough to eat each day. But our ego-minds don’t want to believe that. When I use the term ego-mind, I am referring to our “lower self”, that part of us that seems to only thrive on fear-based thoughts. This part of us always wants to believe in lack – there’s got to be something wrong, something to worry about, something or someone to complain about, something or someone to stress about in some way.

We live in this constant state, drip fed by the media -  and all our friends – and we continue to recreate this world that’s based on fear and lack. Who would we be without these underlying beliefs, without stress, without someone to complain about, something to give off about or

FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY ®

By Eoin Scolard

I remember my first experience of public speaking and the FEAR that came with it. I remember agreeing to do it - an ice-breaker talk in Toastmasters, 4 minutes long.  All I had to do was tell the audience about myself in any way I wanted to. It can’t be that difficult, can it ?

But as the day approached, the fear mounts. I haven’t done it before. The closer the day gets, the more insecure and anxious I feel. The fear voices start whispering in my mind....

“Why did you agree to this?”

“ You don’t have to put yourself through this”.

The more I ignore thoise voices the more insistent and clever they get .....

“You’ll make a fool of yourself”

“You’re no good at public speaking”

“You never will be!”

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION IN ACTION

by Jenny Grainger, March 2012

Spring is well and truly in the air and the garden here at Chantry Hill is coming alive again after the winter.  This is our first spring at Chantry Hill so every day we wake up to new surprises such as spring bulbs in the grounds of the property and the surrounding hedgerows.  In fact, the whole experience of living in this beautiful place is just one big surprise which we consciously designed and co-created along with the Law of Attraction (LOA).

After 2  years living together in Dublin, last Autumn my partner Eoin’s daughters were getting ready to fly the nest and we felt that it was time for a change of scene.  We had no idea WHERE we were going to end up but we put all our understanding of the LOA  into action as we started to house hunt.

First of all we made a list of things which we loved about the house we lived in such as the space, the well proportioned rooms etc.  Then we made a list of all the things we didn’t like about it and used each ‘dislike’ to give us information about what we wanted instead.  For example, we were fed up with paying for sterile hotel rooms for our workshops and courses so we wanted a gorgeous, welcoming home with a big room to run these in so that we could create a deeply relaxing experience for our clients.

Next, we put together a Vision Board for our new home with images and words that signified the essence of what we wanted i.e.

SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY CHRISTMAS

By Jenny Grainger

“SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY CHRISTMAS” say the traffic alert signs over the main motorways around Dublin at the moment.  Obviously the traffic authorities are using this as a road safety warning but, when I saw it, I was immediately struck by the other implications behind it.

With only 10 days until Christmas, the shops are full of frantic consumers bustling and stressing themselves out and spending trying to make everything perfect for the festive period, I just want to shout at them –

“SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY CHRISTMAS”.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO CREATE IN YOUR LIFE IN 2012?

by Jenny Grainger 

I write this on a mid-November day and I am sitting in my swimsuit enjoying the warmth of the Andalucian sun on my skin.  The sky is clear blue, the temperature is in the mid 20s, we have just had a delicious lunch on the patio and I am very, very happy.  What a contrast today is to yesterday when Co Down remained dark and the driving rain kept us indoors with the heating on at Chantry Hill all day.  And yet it was exactly this type of contrast which helped me to create today's experience of warmth and bliss.  

 How so?

For many, many years, as a dedicated sun-worshipper, I moaned and groaned about the weather on our little island and how wet and unpredictable it is.  Then, when I started to study and 'live' the Law of Attraction, I realised that this unhappiness or disatisfaction was telling me that what I really desired was to spend lots of time in a warm, reliable, bright climate.  I also recognised that I feel more energised, relaxed and full of well-being when I am in the sun.  I just

FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY!

by Jenny Grainger

What a month it has been!  I feel as if I am in the centre of a whirlwind at the moment and that my life has been sucked up by the storm and is whirling around at high speed around me.  One of my favourite phrases is that "The Universe loves speed" and, WOW, has that been proven to be right in the last 1o days or so.  I am in the middle of another period of huge change and upheaval and it is all happening really fast.  More information will follow when everything is finalised but, believe me, none of this was part of my preconceived idea of how my life 'should' be unfolding this year! 

However, my Vision Statement for the last few months has been very straightforward.....

"I am creating a simple, joyful, healthy life doing the work I love doing!"  

So I have been repeating this statement, following inspired action and surrendering more and more deeply to the organising intelligence that causes the sun to rise, the stars to come out, the seasons to change and me to evolve and grow.  And, trusting, trusting, trusting! 

A few years ago I was deeply impacted when I read a line from "A Course in Miracles" which says

SABOTAGE AND WAR

by Eoin Scolard

You know what’s right for you.

You know what’s good for you.

Yes you do.

We all do.

Physically - we know when we eat too much, drink too much, exercise too little.

Emotionally - we know when we are holding back truth, holding in resentment, holding back love.

Mentally – we know when we are thinking negatively, judging, criticising, belittling.
