I have really had freedom on my mind a lot lately, so I want to ask you:
How free do you feel in your life right now?
Do you feel a sense of freedom as you look around at your life or do you feel restricted?
Do you feel free to be yourself? Do you feel free to live life “your way”?
Looking back, in the past I experienced way more restriction than freedom. This showed up in how I approached new experiences, how I expressed myself and it especially showed up in my career as I had suppressed my true desire of doing the work I love by choosing an "acceptable" career.
The thing is, when you have patterns around restriction, it tends to show up in many different areas of your life.
Take a moment to ask yourself, what situations in your life do you feel restricted in? In what ways do you hold your true self and desires back?
Even noticing that there is restriction there in the first place is a great start towards creating freedom.
In spite of all of this self-restriction I experienced along my journey, I always felt a deep and strong desire to be free. The one thing that I loved about University as I pursued my previous Engineering Career was that you were free in a lot of ways. You created your schedule, you chose if you showed up or not. Of course I did, but I didn’t have to, I chose to.
And the one thing I had the hardest time with in regular jobs were that you had to show up at a certain time and leave at a certain time. Maybe it’s not a big deal to everyone but it always bugged me. What if I wanted to stay up and watch my favorite show? What if I wanted to sleep in? Too bad, no freedom here.
Now I look around at my life and I am so pleased to see that I have created my life to be based in freedom. This was always one of my most important values. I love that I can go to sleep when I want, I love that I can wake up when my body just wakes up. I love that I make my schedule. I love that my work is a true, authentic, free expression of who I really am. I love to experience this true freedom every single day.
And the thing is, this freedom I now experience every day did not happen by accident. I didn’t just magically have this life given to me.
I created it, on purpose.
Just how did I do that?
I created it from within.
I realized that if I was experiencing restriction in my outer life, I MUST HAVE restrictions within me.
And if I am ever to experience freedom in my outer life, I must first create freedom within.
In Light Your Path Coaching, we create freedom from within. We identify the specific energetic patterns that are causing the restriction in our outer reality and we shift them for good using the Intuitive Healing Process. This always creates a sense of lightness as you are releasing energies and patterns, restrictions that are not really you. This is what we do to create freedom from within.
Your Light Your Path *Shifting Higher* Action Step:
Now because freedom is one of my most important values, I want to help you at least begin opening up to experiencing more freedom in your life.
To start opening up to freedom, begin by giving yourself a couple of minutes to answer the following questions to yourself. Be honest, you can’t change what you aren’t aware of.
1. What is one area of your life that feels way more restrictive than you want it to?
2. In what ways are you holding yourself back? In what ways are you holding your true desires back in this area?
3. Now likely things have been going ahead unconsciously in this area. Begin now to bring your conscious awareness to what is going on here and open to having it be a new way. Ask yourself: What would I love to be experiencing instead? What would true freedom feel like in this area?
4. Now there may be many different conflicting energies within you around allowing freedom in your life. But can you at least start by giving yourself permission to open to a new level of freedom in this area? And wouldn’t it be nice to have support creating that freedom?
If so, express your permission. “I give myself permission to open to a new level of freedom in _________ (area you are looking at). I allow myself to be supported in creating this new freedom.”
A baby step but that’s how it all starts.
Our lives are meant to be incredible, we really can experience freedom in our every day. I know this because I am living a life based in freedom now and my life looks nothing like it used to when it was shaped by restriction. Allow your journey to freedom to begin.

Building An Unshakable Foundation
Copyright 2009 Fia Crandall
Is there something shaking your foundation in your life right now?
Does life seem to be forcing major changes all around you?
When this happens it can make us feel fear, insecurity and sometimes even shock.
We so often feel secure in our lives when the outer situations make us feel secure. But that security is an illusion as many of you have come to find out. We feel comforted by our "rocks", our home, our relationships, our job, our financial situation. But what happens when one of those rocks starts shifting or disappears altogether? All of those "rocks" can not give you a true and unshakable foundation. Why do you think it is so hard on us when any of those rocks changes?
In the last couple of years many of my old, steady "rocks" have disappeared. I know what it's like, when this happens it can feel like we lost our foundation. It can be unsettling and scary.
Have you been experiencing your old "rocks" shifting or disappearing?
What if you could feel stable and secure no matter what was going on in your life?
What if you had new rocks? What if your foundation looked a bit different? What if it was an "energetic rock" that could never really be destroyed or fall away?
An unshakable foundation can only be found and created within. An unshakable foundation must have you and Spirit at it's core. Anything else can not give you unshakable security.
Open to having a new foundation. Imagine your foundation was built up with trust in the Universe, self-love, self-acceptance, belief in yourself, honouring of yourself, truth, freedom, and joy. And what if that were your foundation regardless of what the outer situation in your life is like?
And if you find yourself in a major transition right now, can you open to seeing that you still have a foundation regardless of what is happening around you?
Sometimes outer situations have to change. Sometimes relationships have to end. Sometimes you must leave a job or be laid off. Sometimes you must leave a home you love.
But if your foundation is rooted in trust in the Universe and belief in yourself you can see that whatever is happening in your life is for your highest good.
Highest good? Even when it feels as scary and emotional as this?
Yes. If something is leaving your life, take a moment to imagine why. I've come to see this "highest good" concept is not just the Universe deciding your fate in a way you may not like. It is the highest parts of who you are, guiding your life. Sometimes we will hold onto things that no longer serve us. Sometimes we can deny our true desires, holding onto what is out of false security and comfort.
But your Higher Self will cause things that no longer serve you to leave your life if you don't do it yourself.
Out of love.
Highest good means the best possible outcome. Not some imposed fate. It is the best possible outcome.
As our personality selves, we can't always see the big picture. We can't see how good life can be so we make the best out of what we have. This is good in some ways but can hold us back tremendously in some cases.
Open to seeing your higher foundation. Look at the trust you already feel, in life, in yourself. Bring up your inner knowing that everything is always working out, even when we can't see how at the time. Bring up your knowing that the Universe is friendly and lovingly guiding you even in the scariest of times.
Let that be your foundation. Build your foundation from within, I bet it's already partially built. Embrace it, strengthen it in whatever way you can. Let the foundation of your life be trust, truth and light. And when things are really being stirred up in your life you can rest in the true comfort of this foundation.

In Times of Fear, Remember the Inner Creates the Outer
By Fia Crandall, Intuitions
It is so normal in our society to look outside ourselves for so many things. And when we hear fearful things going on in the world around us it is easy to get caught up in it. It is so easy to give in to the fear that so many are holding.
But I want to remind you of who you really are. You are an infinite being, you are more than just your physical body, your mind, your title, your ego. Those are a part of you but only a small part.
Remember who you really are. Take a moment even right now to look within. Let your thoughts fall away and focus within. Notice that there is an energy there.
Remember it? Maybe you only notice it a little bit and that's fine. But maybe it's time that you acknowledged this deeper, bigger part of you. This part of you that always KNOWS that all is well, that you are taken care of, the part of you that only knows love and abundance.
It is only us that can limit our abundance. No one outside of us can do that to us without our allowing of it. And we limit our abundance so easily by allowing restrictive thoughts and going into fear.
Feel the energy of that fear and nervousness. It wants you to shrink down and feel lower than you are. It wants to lower your vibration.
And what does that mean? It is an illusion. And one you don't have to buy into.
You are not alone and you are not small. There is a deeper, wiser part of you that is your true source of abundance. And you aligning with this energy of abundance and love will help you let go of fear and begin to move into trust. And it is this shift of energy that will help you create abundance in your outer reality.
No matter what.
Remember, the inner creates the outer. If you hold fear, the Universe brings you what matches your energy, which means more to fear. If you hold trust and the vibration of abundance, you can manifest that in your outer reality. No need to fear your thoughts, just lovingly notice when you are in fear or nervousness and remember that the inner creates the outer and that you have a choice in any moment to remember spirit. To remember that your true nature is only abundance.
