In Times of Uncertainty

Image
www.lisasantabarbara.com In light of our current Coronavirus crisis, the fear of uncertainty can be overwhelming and intrusive for making conscious decisions that are in our best interest. You can experience intense fear and anxiety which can be debilitating to our emotional state. This is the time to take responsibility for your own fears, using the tools, techniques and methods you’ve acquired along your life journey. Through your fear; generate your ability to exercise a sense of deep introspection. This morning I was feeling my fear running me, I was feeling my anger running me. My feelings; your feelings are not wrong they are part of us as human beings. This is a practice that I do in times of intense feelings/ emotions or anytime that I’m triggered with emotion. How to use introspection in times of intense feelings/ emotions :   1. Who is the One who can and cannot see the fear/ anger 2. Become the awareness of that One who sees, Be Awareness. 3. Observe th...

Jar of Good Things Lisa Santa Barbara                                        www.lisasantabarbara.com                                          “This January start the year with an empty jar. Each week add a note with a good thing that happened. On New Year’s Eve empty the jar and read about the amazing year you had”. I saw this on Facebook and loved the idea! What a great way to begin a new year, new possibilities and new intentions.This past Christmas I gave my loved ones a Jar to start their own ‘Jar of Good Things’. I’m not sure if they’re committed to doing it, at the very least they are inspired to do so.   I began 2020 with taking note of good things that are happening. I’ve discovered that during these few weeks ( we are only in January) ,...

Defining Love ~ The Ending of a Relationship

Image
Today I write about a blog in consideration of what I learned about Love in my recent ending of a three year relationship.... In my own process of self-inquiry, self-reflection and taking responsibility for my own feelings, thoughts and behaviors. I have discovered amazing insight into my own unconscious beliefs about Love. The Beginning: I met him online and slowly we started to get to know one another. Not spending  much time with one another, going slow.  During this time, I listened to his experiences and words... I chose to unconsciously see him the way I wanted him to "Be" for me. In other words, I took some of what he told me...some of what I wanted to see in him and the rest I made up to fit him into the person I wanted to Believe he was. All unconsciously... up until now. Part of my story is that I always look to see the best in others; we are all intrinsically good at our core. And do to my belief I can look past others short comings, as no one is perfect. I...

Creating The Conditions ~ Heartrepreneur Magazine

Recently I published an article in Heartrepenueur Magazine, called Creating The Conditions. Here is part of the article: I’ve been a massage therapist since 2001, and a life coach since 2013. In both arenas I support others in the process of healing. Since 2010 I’ve been working in pain management doing massage, and our intention in the office is to create the conditions for the body to heal itself. The body knows what to do, it’s fascinating and intelligent. It compensates for the injured part and is always seeking balance and homeostasis.  In the pain management office, there’s Chiropractic care, decompression machine, physical therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (tens) unit and massage. We are creating the conditions for the body to heal itself, and the patient/ client has their role as well. It depends on the client to support the healing by how they take care of their body. Taking care of the physical body with proper hydration, sleep, nutrition and ex...

The Purpose of Relationships

Image
This has been coming up for me a lot lately, insight, introspection, deep calling of inner knowing. An awareness of how much being in relationship is truly meaningful to your Soul's realization. When your relationship is new, exciting and fresh. We have a tendency to create a perception of that person, by what they tell us about themselves and the story we make up to fit what we want to see in that person. I call this a perceptual image; you put your all into the relationship your highest dream of what you are to that significant other. Its a mix of how well the other lives up to your ideas, and how well you saw yourself living up to his/ hers. As time goes by you begin to see a piercing of this image. You see the image you envisioned was an illusion of what you were told by this person and what you wanted them to be for you. And more importantly you see  Yourself in relation to this person/relationship, it becomes clear on where your unconscious beliefs are about love and ...

My goal over the next several months is to find more ways to support and serve others to what they truly want. My skills in coaching clients is supporting others to transcend what no longer serves them, the art of Self Mastery.

Unconditional Love

Love heals all things .... All minds are joined..... All things are possible.... You are the spark of the Divine... Infinite Unlimited Being... Love at times has been a challenge for me, receiving love, feeling unconditionally loved, loving and accepting myself.  In my journey of transcending, I have come to compassion, acceptance and truly trusting and loving myself.  Seeing myself like never before, and for this I am grateful. When I think of unconditional love, my children come to mind. The deepest kind of love, a love that never wavers, a love that is difficult to put words too. I see only the love and light they truly are, even when they don't see it in themselves. No matter what they are experiencing, or going through I see only Love. I feel unconditional Love for them, through them and from them... There is nothing more powerful than this..

The Story Teller

We all have The Story Teller within us, he/ she is called many names. The new name I'm calling mine  is 'The Story Teller'.  Let me explain about the Story Teller, it is the part of us that is our inner critic, saboteur, ego, small self and it does 4 things. It protects us, avoids, controls or makes someone right and its insidious in how it does this. There are means to be aware of its insidious ways; here is one of the ways that has created space for  giving me awareness.  Noticing the Story you are telling yourself... about EVERYTHING! Challenge yourself, your story...How true is it REALLY? Do you know this 100% for sure? Is this 100% based on facts? or something you are making up to fit a scenario you "think" is happening?  Fear is #1 in the Story category and our unconscious fears are the biggest obstacles. What is an unconscious fear? A fear that is completely out of our awareness, we don't recognize it as fear. We are so accustomed to believing this ...

The Dance

Hello Blog, I have not been writing lately. I've been very busy with a personal family circumstance and then experienced a vacation that has been long overdue! Today I'm writing about "The Dance"... recently my sister came to stay with me during her recovery from surgery. So I purchased a movie that I thought would be inspiring and uplifting that we could both benefit from. It's called The People vs. The State of Illusion,  during the movie there were many 'stand out' moments. One of them is regarding what they call Content to Process shift- The Dance. Most of us in conversation, circumstances or situations are noticing and giving attention to the content of what is going on. A shift occurs when we notice the process, this is the part we are unaware of.  Take notice of the process, the interaction - become aware of how we are focused in relation to it... the process of how we interact tells a deeper story. When we become aware of this, it gives us ins...
