WHAT DOES REALITY MATTER WITHOUT THE FEELING…

About a month ago, I was gifted with this incredible dream that I received from the universe or God if you prefer that. In this dream, I was laying down and I saw a dark sky full of clouds. A voice (I believe it must have been an Angel) came to me and asked: Ariana do you see it? I replied: not really (All I could see was a dark cloudy sky) The voice said: EXACTLY!

They then brought in this child named Matheo. I know Matheo from the charity that I volunteer at where I live in Mexico. Matheo was born without eyes, and so he perceives life from his other senses (hearing, touch, smell, taste), and FEELING.

The voice said: Let us show you what Matheo can see… and all of a sudden the ENTIRE SKY CLEARED. All the clouds were gone and I could see unlimited stars, pure magic, the absolutely most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life (I have goosebumps as I write this)… And then I was floating in the cosmos…

The voice explained to me that because Matheo can’t see he has to FEEL the stars, and that because he feels the stars, he can see better than me. The voice then kept repeating: It’s all about the feeling, it’s all about the feeling, it’s all about the feeling…

When I woke up, I ran to my journal so I could write every detail of what had just happened. I was (still am) mesmerized by this revelation and I’ve spent a month thinking about this: What does “it’s all about the feeling” mean at the deepest level? and how do we apply this into our lives???

I remember back on the days listening to Tony Robbins and his tapes that were available on You tube where he talks about feelings and emotions as being signals. He would say that none of us are after “things” in life, what we are actually looking for is the feeling that is associated with the “things” we desire.

For example, we are not looking for a fancy house, what we want is to have an amazing place so we can invite people over, a place that is cozy, beautiful that we can call home. Which means in this example that what we are really looking for to FEEL connected to others (having guests over) and to FEEL relaxed, safe and at peace (a cozy place we call home that is sacred to us).

And there’s a second part to this which is equally as important: the ENERGY.

Whatever it is we are after in life creates feelings. These feelings (or emotions) are bringing forth ENERGY and this energy which is 99.9999999%... of us is attracting more of the same energy into our reality. When we FEEL good about ourselves, we vibrate in a certain energy frequency. That frequency, just like a radio station tunes in with more of the same like energy, and as a result we continue have that experience (of feeling good in this example) as our reality.

And that’s when magic begins to happen. Magic because you aways ALWAYS get more of what you already are. And to me, the feeling is the SECRET part.

We already know that the more you feel good, the more it feels good. The more you are grateful the more things you will have to be grateful for. The more you focus on what brings you joy, the more joyful things you will have in your life (to bring more joy into your life, read my other blog post: what brings you joy) and the list goes on and on…

Expanding that to nutrition and mindset (what I specialize in) the same concepts apply. When we say for example I want to lose weight, what we really desire (feeling wise) is to feel accomplished, beautiful, full of energy, alive and good in our own skin.

My question for you then is: What if you started to FEEL like that ahead of time? so that the energy of your desire (to lose weight in this case) guides you to your results in a much faster, effortless way???

What if there’s an easier way to get you to our dreams and desires? A way that doesn’t require so much effort, sacrifice and frustration? What if the feeling is the actual secret to a whole new reality, the reality of your dreams???

Which brings me to this final question: What does reality matter without the feeling??? And the answer is it doesn’t.

We are all having a human experience, and feeling your way through life can be so beautiful if you allow for it to be. I am so amazed and blown away to learn that a blind child perceives life through the feelings. To me, it just feels so liberating, to go beyond the senses and to feel the feels. And in a way that’s true freedom.

I started to practice this in my own life: to feel the ocean, the trees and the flowers. To feel the moon and the stars, to feel the beauty and to feel love. And what I can tell you is that as a result, I have never felt more connected to myself, nature and everything there is, it's all about the feeling...

My invitation for you is to use this wisdom and apply it to your own life. Play with the energy of creation and start FEELING yourself into the reality of your dreams.

Use your sixth sense more often, follow the energy and let the light guide you.

If you love this concept and this new way of thinking, you FEEL curious to learn how to apply this wisdom into your life then book a discovery call with me, it’s FREE. In the call, we can talk about what’s important to you and you can see if working together is the next perfect step for you.

WHAT BRINGS YOU JOY???

According to webster, joy is the feeling of great pleasure or happiness that come from success, good fortune or a sense of wellbeing. This definition feels a bit “dry” to me so I created my own definition. To me, joy means to FEEL love and to ALLOW love and joy to flow through.

What I mean by this is: Have you ever felt so in love that nothing else in life mattered? The neighbors didn’t matter, the news didn’t matter, your boss didn’t matter… You were in love, there was joy and you felt it, you let it all in… Or maybe that one time when you were on vacation and you watched the sunset, there was nothing else to do but to look at the nature and the beauty, at that moment time just stopped, you felt love and you experienced joy…

I believe that love and joy are interconnected, and when you feel one you instantly feel the other one too. To me, love and joy are two peas on a pod…

I was asked this question the other day, what brings me joy? And to answer that question I had to go for the feeling first. I asked myself: what am I in love with? What makes my heart feel warm? What makes me feel like time just stops?

This is what came up:

• Watching the sunset

• The perfection of nature

• Reading a book with a cup of tea

• Remembering I am loved

• Playing with my cats

• Simplicity

• Inspiring others

• Watching the moon and the stars at night

• Travelling

Even though these things inspire me in different ways, they bring forth the same feelings: joy and love. And every time throughout my day that I am exposed to any of these things, or even if I take a moment to think about what brings me joy, it feels like my heart expands, and I experience calm, easiness, love and pure bliss.

When we are in a state of joy, there are all kinds of physiological responses in the body: first, we feel amazing, it is impossible to feel joy and to feel stressed, angry or anxious at the same time! Next, our nervous system is forced to calm down and we start to naturally regulate our nervous system.

Our heart also expands, and that brings coherence to other parts of the body which in turn helps with emotional and hormonal regulation. According to psychology today, the heart’s energy is said to reach about three feet outside the physical body and can be detected by someone else seating nearby via an ECG (electrocardiogram), which makes me think: When was the last time you were next to someone that made you feel so good just by being in their presence? How incredible to feel joy through someone else’s heart???

Most importantly, it FEELS good! And it feels good to feel good. The other day I heard this question and it stuck with me: what does reality matter without the FEELING???

What was meant by this question is that underneath anything we desire to experience in life, there’s a feeling that comes with it. And so all the things we may desire (the partner, the car, the house, the job, the vacation, etc…) it’s because of the FEELING that comes with it.

When we are in a state of joy, our mind is also receptive to things we can’t see and sometimes can’t make sense of, yet we can feel it. In other words what we feel is our own energy, and the energy of everything there is. How can watching a beautiful sunset feel so good ? It reminds me once again that the greatest things in life can’t be seen or heard, they are always felt…

But this process is different from person to person. And gaining awareness to what’s around you and the tiny things that bring you joy is step one. Opening your heart and allowing yourself to receive joy is step two. To gain this awareness, I recommend seating in silence, even if for a few moments each day. Allow for time to stop, allow for the appreciation of each moment to come in… breathe into your heart…

And then ask yourself these questions:

• What makes you smile?

• What makes your heart warm?

• What inspires you?

• What makes you feel alive?

• When you were a child, what was one thing you did that was so fun time just stopped?

• What makes you feel like you are in love?

Now, let me ask you this question once again: what brings you joy??? I can say this with certainty that all the greatest things in life come when we are in a state of joy and love. I wish for you to find joy in the smallest moments of your life. And once you are there, may this joy be your guiding light, that will inspire you to accomplishing your biggest dreams.

With love and joy, Ariana
