Too many ads — Follow your own INTUITION!!
Much love to Gabby. She has been a light and has Introduced me to so many modalities. But this podcast has gone down a lot AND I have a word of caution. Everyone has already stated the ads are obnoxious with them taking about 25% - 50% of the episodes and I can’t tell what Gabby stands for anymore. It lessens the authenticity for me. Plus as has been said, the content of the episodes has gotten much shorter, especially since the format has changed from the “Dear Gabbys” lecture plus Q&A to the current format of a short interview with a notable guest. Word of Caution: I also want to say to everyone…. no matter what any teacher tells you ALWAYS listen to your own intuition. Learn to act on your INTUITIVE INSTINCTS and inner guidance system. I did Gabbys manifestation challenge two years ago when “allowing” and “surrendering” were cornerstones of her guidance. It worked really fast but I surrendered myself into what became a manipulative, domineering, and hurtfully imbalanced multi-partner relationship with the man with whom I had been in love with for years (and friends with for even many more years). A man of such wisdom and spirituality that it was easy to fall to his influence when in a flow of “surrender” and openness. When it ended the whole situation almost killed me. I was never as depressed nor as suicidal in my entire life. This is not blame. This is a cautionary tale. I would not wish that dark time in my life on my worst enemy. But that deeply deeply suicidal time brought me to one valuable place.. I finally came to this truth…that I want to live. So I put any bit of strength I had into surviving, so I could help others. So consider this review a start: So I say to you…. Do not surrender yourself into something that is not aligned with you. When manifesting and you cant discern what God is telling you, go with your gut. Two reasons I got in that situation… #1 ”Surrendering.” The guidance at the time was, “when you feel like taking an action, you need to surrender MORE.” This was teaching us to ignore our intuition. And then, “even if what comes into your life isnt what you said you wanted, surrender and allow the flow of the universe” because you don’t know how it may be bringing you closer to the life you really want. This stuff is dangerous guys!! The problem with this is that you MUST know when to walk away. This was not talked about much in the manifesting challenge with Gabby at the time. You do need to go through unnecessary trauma!!! By surrendering and allowing, I gave up my agency. I became much more supple and maleable and a strong, very convincing force was able to direct my outlook and mind. I am a strong minded person. So if it can happen to me. It can happen. So instead of Gabby’s mantra, try this: “If you feel like taking an action, get deeply in touch your body and determine if that is your inner wisdom or fear.“ Ask yourself: Is this old programming doing what it has always done, keeping me where I have always been as protector mechanism. Or is this my wisdom guiding me to the best choice for me? Secondly, #2 I didn’t get as clear as I needed to be on what I was a ‘yes’ and ‘no’ for. At the time of the manifesting challenge, I thought I was super clear and specific! But I was soft around certain areas like monogamy. I always pictured just two of us. But I had not explicitly wrote that in my visualization. For me the communal aspects genuinely sounded really really nice to me and I wanted to explore that, but I did not believe that my partner had enough compassion to do it in a healthy way. So I did not get clear on how much compassion and equity I needed in my relationship. The latest manifesting challenge hinges more on clarifying Deal Breakers. I wish that was a stronger component a few years back. But I learned a lot. I am clearer on what I want. And most importantly, I fiercely and mercilessly listen to my INTUITION in all areas of my life. I don’t do a thing without checking in with my body and listening for that feeling of yes or no. For me, it came at heavy cost… lost 3 more years off of finding my mate at the twilight of my child bearing years, lots more trauma to heal from, and just such intense pain. So I say to you all, teachers are just people. Gabby is wonderful and is a great guide. But no matter what, learn how to listen and ACT on your own intuigion. Even if it means walking away from a deep desire. Peace and love and blessings to you all. You are special and meant to be here and to shine your light. Thank you Gabby Bernstein for your lessons and work!
