That is why I am creating a "Series of Challenges" for you to last  365 days.

My Series of 365 challenges for you Fri July 1, 2011
by Sunni Boswell
With the dawn of the new moon moving us into the second half of this year, I decided to become more proactive in my life and in the lives of others, should they want me to and that includes you, yes you. So I begin with the passing of time, we are all guilty at one period or another of simply not knowing where the time has gone, let alone, what we were feeling during that time. Let's start with Challenge #1:
Challenge #1
When time has a way of creeping up on us, ask yourself, were you aware of the passing and what is it that you were able or not able to feel? What is your brain telling you? What are your emotions telling you? What is your body telling you? What messages are you getting? I challenge you to begin to start becoming aware of your feelings, your emotions and whether or not or where they may be relating to your body. Is it your belly, your shoulders, your legs, your chest, your heart? Are you getting headaches, unexpected twitches, skin rashes, eczema, arms? Begin to become aware of the mind body connection and let me show you how to bring in the spiritual aspect and understand how all three are interconnected and without the allowing of that connection, we become blocked on many levels. But it all begins with awareness and our breath...

Challenge #2 Sat. July 2, 2011
Thank you for coming to us. Whatever drives you to seek out our help, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you personally. And, when consulting a psychic practitioner, understand that if you feel as though you are not connecting with them immediately or within a few moments, it is not the fault of the psychic, but rather could be blockage from you. We need to be open in order to be receptive. Now, that doesn't mean that you need to walk into a session with your thoughts on your sleeves, so to speak, but rather, to be open to understanding that the psychic is picking up on you but that it may not be something that you think relates to you at that time of your consciousness. Even if you may think that you know yourself so much that if a psychic isn't able to pick up on it, try not to pre-judge and think they are not connecting to you. We pick up all sorts of energies from you, good or bad and some coming from the people around you in this life and in other lives. We can't help it sometimes, that is how energy reading is. And keep in mind that if you are blocking yourself by being skeptical, negative or feel as though you know more that what the practitioner is telling you, then perhaps your should stop to take a look at yourself and start looking into learning how to receive messages and guidance for yourself and not taking up other people's time just so you can prove them wrong when after all, you did seek out their advice. So, if you are out there and trying out various practitioners and not able to find what you are looking for,
I challenge you to be kind to your practitioner and understand that most of us really do work from the highest of integrity in addressing the messages and your concerns at that time. And, to begin looking into ways of receiving information. One way is to call on me...

Challenge #3 Sun July 3, 2011
In order to move on with our lives, at whatever point we are in them, we need to begin to look at what blocks us from moving forward. One quick way is through forgiving. Forgiveness is the key to truly love of others. When we can bestow unconditional love to others, regardless of the hurts and the anger, we open up a pathway to clearly move forward with our lives and theirs. So many of my clients who come to me, and those who are yet to come to me can learn so much from the simple word - "forgiveness". There have been many times in my life that I have learned to do this and you can too. It seems too difficult sometimes to be able to forgive others for things that our friends, family and co-workers have done to us, and even the things that we have done to ourselves and others. Anger, fear, shame, blame and guilt drive us into not being able to forgive. Try to let go of those emotions and see yourself as strong and steady, grounded like a tree and just allow those remarks and emotions to simply slide and drip off you like water gliding down and into the earth back into the universe to be recycled into fresh energy. Why waste that glorious energy of yours by being so reactive to your emotions and others at the time.
I challenge you to become proactive and see yourself as a beautiful tree allowing the watery beads of emotions and reactions to simply roll off you and into the earth to recycle out. Notice how much better you begin to feel....

Challenge #4 Mon July 4th, 2011
Happy 4th of July everyone! If you celebrate the day of Independence for the US, may it be a joyous and meaningful day to you, whatever the meanings may hold for yourself, that is.... time with family, friends, gathering for parties, barbeques, outings for watching fireworks and recreation. Let's take a closer look at independence though and how it pertains to you on a more personal level. Is there a nudge within you telling you be more independent from others, family and co-workers, grown children, spouses, parents and you don't know how to go about it? Are you able to voice and express yourself from your inner circle of influence, or do you just go along with what everyone else wants, not wanting to make waves or changes and keep everyone happy for your own acceptance? Or, on the other hand, are you so independent that maybe it concerns you that you do not go along with others when you think you should? Do you get criticized for not agreeing with others and doing the same as they do? Just how independent are you?
I challenge you to create an independence meter for yourself and figure out just how free and independent you are in comparison to others and ask yourself if you really are able to live out your own choices and trust in yourself enough to know that you have the right answers within you to make the right choices. So start today by asserting your own personal independence in a positive way and see how you will begin to feel stronger....

Challenge #5 Tues July 5th, 2011
The day after a major holiday filled with celebration and hoopla can sometimes be a let-down.  We have built up so much expectation and energy in anticipation and eagerness awaiting the time and experience. Some may have spent time, emotional and physical energy and money planning to travel by car or air,  and then planning the festivities, shopping for decorations, and food, making the food and drinks,  preparing a good time for all. The day after can feel like we were sucker punched overnight or woke up with a bad hangover, so tired and beat, and then  for this year unfortunately , have to face the rest of the week getting back into the routine as though nothing happened.  So I challenge you to  be good to yourself today and this evening by taking it easy all day long. Drive around without being in your usual rush. Order dinner in or let your partner do the cooking and the clean up, watch the kids and put everyone to bed.  Allow yourself to pamper you with a long luxurious bubble soak, with candles and wine if that is your choice. Allow yourself an opportunity to relax and rejuvenate yourself. Try to make a point to journal about the past weekend and reflect on what was important for you and if you achieved it or not.  Notice how you feel about the turnout of the events, what would you do differently next year, and how you will go about beginning to set an intention for your desires of the outcome....

Challenge #6 Wed July 6, 2011

Since we just celebrated the nation's declaration of Independence from Britain, and the challenge of looking at your own personal freedom to make your own choices, let's take time today to look further at the notion of freedom from  opinions and beliefs that may no longer serve you in other areas of your life, such as in the topics of race, religion, cultures, politics, viewpoints, practices, etc. Take a look at "tolerance" in your life and in the lives of those you immediately affect through your own viewpoints and beliefs, such as your partner, your children and of course yourself.
The dictionary defines the word tolerance as:
1. a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one's own; freedom from bigotry.
2. a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward opinions and practices that differ from one's own.
3. interest in and concern for ideas, opinions, practices, etc., foreign to one's own; a liberal, undogmatic viewpoint.Just how tolerant are you?
Have you been raised to not be accepting of others because of  certain beliefs or fears? How far has tolerance taken you in understanding others or yourself in social situations. Do you take for granted that others are unconditionally tolerant of you? How are your children being taught to learn tolerance? There is a fabulous museum in Los Angeles called the "Museum of Tolerance" that has a multitude of multi-sensory exhibits that explore various social in-tolerances of others throughout history. www.museumoftolerance.com. They offer public tours and volunteer opportunities.
I Challenge you to take a look at how you perceive tolerance and what you are doing to exercise the meaning in your life. Try writing down the things that you are not tolerant of and why and what you can do to allow yourself to be more accepting. And if you live in the LA area or are visitng, take the time to go and experience intolerance in a multi-media way, see how you feel, what comes to your mind and your emotions....

Challenge #7 Thurs July 7, 2011
Love is a deep and vast word in both meaning and feelings.  Just what does love mean to you? How do you express your love to others and to yourself.  Do you feel you yearn for it and never seem to find true love? Are you in love right now? Maybe love has a higher meaning for you in that you love all things and others and they love you in return? Are there only certain people you allow yourself to love, on an intimate level? Do you feel that love can only hurt and disappoint? Do you allow yourself to be loved? What is it that you love, things? People?
I challenge
you to define love for yourself. The more that you have a clearer notion of what it means for you, the clearer you will be about how to attract and maintain it. Understand that self-love is the key to the door of beginning to have true love....

Challenge #8 Fri July 8, 2011

Survival and sustenance in this world is absolute.

We are all yin and yang within our lifetimes, it is realizing and recognizing when the subtleties change within us so that we can achieve the balance we so need in our daily lives.
"Our hearts are our brains for our emotions"....Sunni's quote for the day
Clearing allows us to be able to assess what is really within us...
