Numerology and Inner Healing

The quest for healing can be about seeking out ways to bring about ways to live a simple, healthy, uncomplicated, and comfortable life. However, to truly heal we often must become more aware of ourselves, our actions, and the way in which we lead our lives. Utilizing spiritual tools, like Numerology, we can become more self-aware and begin our own personal healing.

However, there may be roadblocks in your path. You may have to do a lot of examining of your thoughts and your life. How often do we hear negative phrases, or stories, about how bad life is? After a while this information takes on more and more power in your life. Many of us have living and healing that we want to accomplish. If you want to heal, then it’s time take action. Roll up your sleeves and begin the work that you know you want to do, rather than giving a greater percentage of your power to the negativity in life.

True healing can only come from within you. Of course, we need to recognize that important health information can come from our inner voice, yet it can also come from the world around us, or it may come from the loving advice of friends and family. When you come to understand that changes need to take place, you will realize that healing involves doing. Our healing is about attending to our selves and our inner needs. But again, it's not about ignoring the world, it's recognizing that we need to address our own issues if we truly want to effectively be able to be of service to others or the world at large.

Numerology can help you to recognize your strengths and your weaknesses. Unless we embrace ourselves in total, we won't be able to claim our full power and step up to our true potential. Indeed, working with our own Shadow can be one of the most healing things that we'll ever do.

Next, we'll discuss how to work with your Soul Number to find ways to nurture and listen to your inner voice. After all, pushing aside your inner wishes, hopes and dreams can be a source of conflict, stress, and tension, which can prevent you reaching your goals and accomplishing the healing you deserve in your life.

Joy, Celebration and Numerology

As we normally feel happy and joyful when we celebrate, I’d like to look at how we allow joy and happiness into our lives when we celebrate, especially on a daily basis. I feel that looking at how we feel about and express ourselves is also important. As is passion and creativity in our lives. Feeling naturally happy and joyful doesn’t have to be difficult at all. It can basically mean that you appreciate the simple opportunities to celebrate that life has to offer.

Is feeling joyful difficult for you in times of stress? Are there particular times when you attack yourself and then feel depressed? At one time or another we all may find ways to be critical of ourselves. Is self-acceptance difficult for you in times of stress? Are there particular times when you attack yourself? Are there certain situations that trigger your inner critic? Self-criticism can become self-destructive and sabotaging. It’s important to identify the times in which we hinder ourselves, because our ability to accept and have faith in our abilities is weakened.

Within Numerology you probably are aware that your Soul Number reflects how you see yourself. Do you see yourself as happy and satisfied with your life and open to celebration? Do you see that you have pursued those dreams and desires that you soul calls out for?

Ask yourself about those inner dreams or personal desires, that if achieved, would be reason to really celebrate? This question can enable you to look within and come to terms with your own abilities and desires. What are you drawn to do or have a calling for? Honestly, listening to the call of your soul, especially through the help of your Soul Number means finding ways to do the things you feel drawn to, even if you feel that you are not necessarily good at them. If you feel drawn to acting, then find a way to take part in local theater. If you feel drawn to painting, find a way to allow yourself to paint or at least to foster creativity within you.

Numerology and Manifesting

Today, many people desire to change and manifest their dream life. They want to make sweeping changes, and break away from old patterns and habits, but can be lost at where to actually begin. We’ll look to your Soul Number as way to understand what your inner needs are. Often, we feel stuck or challenged because we’re not listening to our inner voice. We have a vague feeling that something isn’t quite right, but tend to ignore the voice inside that has hope for the future.

Your Soul Number can offer guidance on changes that can bring happiness and growth, and help you to manifest your desires. The information your Soul Number can be simple, yet vital, to follow. As you follow its guidance you will begin to feel better and better about yourself, as you’ll be developing a connection to your core authentic self.  However, you can’t just wish for the change. You may have to remove, and let go of, the obstacles that prevent you from remaining and being motivated. Finding ways to stay motivated can be an important first step in making life changes. For instance, simply asking for friends and family to remind you about your goals, can be of great benefit to your cause.

Of course, we all have varying needs around connection. Staying motivated may require personal diligence and patience, without as much need of reminders from others, especially for those with Soul Numbers that revolve around practicality, structure and leadership. People with Soul numbers of 1, 4 and 8 often have inner struggles with these issues. These people, and those like them, often enjoy when situations and events remain stable, grounded and manageable. They are not afraid of hard work, but at times they may be resistant to change.

For those with Soul Numbers of 2, 3 or 6 it may be easier for you to look to your friends and family for support and advice. You tend to look to others for cooperation and feedback, and their ideas and suggestions at this time may provide a cornerstone for your change. For instance, they might suggest that you find a friend or partner to help you to draw up any initial plans, especially if you are focused on starting a new business venture. The ideas of another may help you to notice gaps or oversights in your thinking.

For those with Soul Numbers of 5, 7 or 9 it may be easier to implement changes in quick, small steps. You may not need as much outside support as the others do. However, it can be vital to not over-think your plans, and be willing to take important risks. At times, you can get caught up in the “What IF?” game, and you need to find ways to assure yourself that you’re on the right path.

In order to manifest some new change in your life, you may look to the following questions for inspiration and direction:

•     How will I feel if I make no changes?
•     How will I feel if I change?
•     How will others feel if I change/stay the same?
•     How will I feel later if I give in to my sloth?
•     What is in my ideal life?
•     Who is in my ideal life?
•     What will I be doing in my ideal life?

Understand that the qualities represented by your Soul Number are generally hidden from others. They don’t know, understand, or see them in you. You may know something about yourself that nobody else knows yet! Spread the word about your desires and ideas, so that you can build and create the life that you want! This is especially true for people with a Soul Number of 5 or 7 and 9. The qualities represented by these numbers tend to be more personal, humble, introspective and deliberate. People with these numbers may need to make room and time for others, although they may suffer without regular quiet time alone.

"Never let life impede on your ability to manifest your dreams. Dig deeper into your dreams and deeper into yourself and believe that anything is possible, and make it happen. " ~ Corin Nemec

For some us, such as the more introspective among us, it also may be difficult to find the right words to ask for the help that we might need. But, if we look within and find a way to voice our true and innermost desires then we can begin to find a voice for our soul in the world. With help from the guidance from our Soul Number, we can begin to communicate our desires with the world and we can begin our journey to our ideal life.

Numerology and Intuition

Q: How can I use Numerology to develop my intuition?

A: I recommend that you work with a friend, partner or significant other as you work with the guidance from your Core Numbers. They are a reflection of who you are, and who you can become. Others may see things in us that we can't or are still unable to see. Working together with the insights that your Core Numbers can provide will help you both to hone and sharpen your intuition. In addition, you'll have someone to verify your insights.

The Core Numbers help to indicate what matters to you. When you deny that something is important you’re denying a part of yourself. You’re shutting down your inner voice, which wants to find a way to express who you are in the world. By not listening, you’re missing out on parts of your full and true self. When you're feeling stuck or blocked, you're not trusting your instincts. A partner may be able to help you work through any perceived difficulties or obstacles that would prevent you from acting on the guidance from your inner voice.

As you work with your Core Numbers you can begin to learn more about those things that inspire passion within each of you. By following your instincts, desire and passion, you can begin developing a connection with your intuition. What inspires you? Follow your inspiration! In particular, you can heighten your intuition by developing a closer connection to your Soul Number, which represents your inner feelings, drives, dreams, and aspects of your spiritual strengths and sensitivities. Together, you may remember past inspiring activities and events that had long been forgotten.

For instance, if your Soul Number is #1, then your inner voice, the voice of your soul, calls for creativity, artistic expression and individuality. At one time you may have taken art classes or music lessons, and let life events stop you from fully pursuing these interests! Yet, you take great pride in your abilities. Inwardly, you may have a strong desire to be recognized for your talents. Yet, outwardly you may push away feelings of worth and the compliments of others. Find ways to express yourself, and allow yourself to experience how the process and the end result makes you feel. You'll come to feel empowered as you learn to trust "your gut", and seek out those activities, events and people that fuel your passion.

In her book on intuition, "How to Rule the World from your Couch", Laura Day has this to say about trusting your own power and intuition: "Living as we do in a culture of 'experts', my greatest pleasure is to make you become your own best expert. In doing so, you also become an expert for your families, friends, companies, and culture. Pardon the cliche, but together, we really can create a better world. This world really, truly starts from your personal and individual experience-your very own power and ability to create the world that you want. When you know how easy it is to create this unique world, what is born is not insatiable desire, but rather unstoppable generosity."

You can do it! Choose a partner, or find a way to develop your intuition on your own. You become your own expert, your own intuitive guide! As you do so, you can also inspire others to do the same. Today, many of us may be unaware of, or unable to listen to, our inner voice. We may keep our inner dreams locked away, unable to bring them to fruition. Your Soul Number is part of the key to unlocking the mysteries of your soul. What does your Soul Number mean for you? What ideas, or wishes, have you had in your mind and put off as impossible? These dreams can be a part of your Soul Number. Your Soul Number is about tuning into your inner voice.

Numerology, Intuition and the call of your soul

By allowing yourself  to consciously develop skills in intuition, you can create a more colorful, creative and vibrant life. With a keen intuition, you can be better prepared and able to achieve the goals that you desire.

Numerology, can be an invaluable guide in your quest to become more intuitive. Your Core Numbers represent a vital calling from your soul, that needs to be answered. Right now, we'll focus on working with your Soul Number, as it represents the needs of your soul, inner dreams and desires. When we fail to listen to the call of our soul, we often close off a part of our hearts. When we close our hearts, we shut ourselves off from life. By opening your heart you open to new possibilities, and life becomes richer and more colorful. This begins a process in which you develop the capacity to honor and listen to your heart. As your heart opens, you can gradually begin to develop the capacity to listen to your soul and then you can begin to value and honor your inner desires. Listening to your soul is about honoring yourself, your dreams and your wishes. It's about becoming the person that you want to be.

Working with, and listening to the guidance from, your Soul Number is a way to begin to listen to the secrets hidden within your heart and soul. These secrets can be the key in helping you to become the person that you aspire to be. You may feel a weight has been lifted off of your heart, as you begin to work with the guidance that your Soul Number provides.

As you begin to work with your Soul Number, you'll come to realize that it is one of the best tools in Numerology, as it can help you to get in touch with your own personal and powerful intuition! It can be an invaluable ally in your quest to develop and foster your intuition. It's a direct line to your inner being. It can't be any clearer than that! For instance, if your Soul Number indicates that learning is important to you, then you may find that simply by expanding away from the nightly news and reading about subjects that interested you as child can be exciting, stimulating and fun.

You can take gradual steps, but the guidance offered can be a way to open up to many possibilities that you might not have imagined before. What if, by reading about a new subject, you were lead to join a discussion group where you met someone that was interested in your writing, singing or other talent? What if it lead to a new career? The possibilities are staggering. Ultimately, you can be your own guide. By listening to the direction and guidance from your Soul Number, you can begin to become more of who you believe yourself to be. You can begin to open up to your heart and the world.

You can develop your intuition. It's true! In our world today, many people, may be unaware of, or unable to, listen to their inner voice. They may feel like it is an impossible task to find a way to listen. Unfortunately, this may cause them to keep their inner dreams hidden and locked away, unable to bring them to fruition. However, there is a way. Although your inner voice may still be small and quiet, working with your Soul Number and other Core Numbers can help you to find a place in your heart for your inner voice. Working with this guidance is a way to tend to the needs of your heart, and believe more in yourself, your abilities, and your desires.

Over time, and with some patience, you will begin to recognize the message that is hidden in your heart. Following your own personal guidance, from your own numbers, will be a way to provide initial guidance and support. Once you know what your soul needs, you can begin to feed, support and nurture it. As you find ways to support yourself, you’ll begin to feel more centered and connected to your world. And, what was was hidden will begin to be more clearly seen.

You can help to foster your intuition by working with some of the following questions:

• How have these numbers offered guidance during challenging times?
• Am I connected with the characteristics that are represented by each of the Core Numbers? (If not, why not?)
• Which emotions do I associate with my Soul Number?
• Which emotions do I associate with my "secret" dreams?
• Which dreams have I forgotten about, and why?
• What calling have I been ignoring?
• How can I begin to be more creative in my life?
• How can I add more color to my life?
• Who has encouraged me in my life? What have they encouraged me to do?
• What motivates and inspires me?
• What does my heart need?

Numerology and Intuition

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up" --- Thomas Edison

Numerology can be an extremely powerful and valuable guide in your quest to develop your intuition. Today, many people may be unaware of, or unable to listen to, their inner voice. They may keep their inner dreams locked away, unable to bring them to fruition. Then they may wonder why they don’t seem to be intuitive.

Developing your intuition means that you must find ways to really listen to your soul. What does your soul need? Is it trying to tell you something? Do you notice certain repeating night time dream images? Do you have secret wishes and desires that you hide from everyone, including yourself? These wishes and desires are important clues to living a life that matters. These desires, and ways to achieve them, are described by your Soul Number.

Your Soul Number is part of the key to unlocking the mysteries of your soul. It is one of the tools in Numerology that can help you to get in touch with your intuition. As a core part of your inner being, it represents your inner feelings, drives, dreams, and aspects of your spiritual strengths and sensitivities. Because it is a reflection of you, it can help you to identify and highlight paths that your soul is drawn toward.

For instance, if have a Soul Number of 1 then your work to begin listening to your intuition, and opening to the needs of your soul, revolves around accepting your inner talents. First, recognize yourself as a creative and inventive individual! Then, act on the thoughts that pull you toward bringing something new into the world.

Developing intuition is really about finding a way to listen to the needs of your inner self. Have you ever had a gut feeling about something, but then for some reason you pushed the thought aside? That feeling is what you should be listening to. That is your intuition. By paying attention to your inner guidance and the support that your Soul Number provides you can begin to unlock the mystery of your life, and take a step toward developing your own intuition. Right now your inner voice may be quiet, but it will get louder and clear as you begin to work with it in your life.

Numerology and Healing

True healing often comes first from a place that is deep within ourselves. Important guidance, that leads to better health, can come from our inner voice. Guidance can also come from the world around us, or it may come from the loving advice of friends and family. The need for healing comes about when the need for change arises. When you come to finally understand that changes need to take place, you will realize that you can heal your life by making those real world changes.

Our healing is about change, attending to our selves, and meeting our needs. Because many of us get caught up in simply being busy, you may have been denying your needs for some time. Numerologically, your inner desires (represented by your Soul Number) may be unmet and unfulfilled. In any pursuit of greater health, it is important to find ways to nurture and listen to your inner voice and to have your needs met. Pushing aside your inner wishes, hopes and dreams can be a source of conflict, stress, and tension, which can lead to greater problems later on.

There are many ways to tap into healing in your life. Find out what works for you. Any method or tool that works for me, may not necessarily work for you. For some, working with the tools that Shamanism provides may be the answer. For other, it might be through Yoga or Tai Chi. For others, it might be through deep soul work. While many may find that a reliable therapist is an important ally on their path to healing. Whatever you do know that having spirit is important. Also, determination, grit, persistence, willpower, stamina, inspiration and drive all play a vital role in healing.

Remember that the ability to heal ourselves lies within each of us. It is a matter of tapping into this incredible resource, to make the Mind/Body connection, to reach within ourselves and discover how much power we have over our bodies and ourselves. However, sometimes we may need to first reach out for help in starting our healing process.

Never underestimate the power that medicine and psychology have in the Western world. In fact, psychology may be one way that we begin to look deeply at personal patterns that no longer serve us, which can facilitate healing and growth. Within the world of medicine, you may wish to seek out doctors like Bernie Siegel or Andrew Weil who focus on you as a person.

The choice is up to you. You can choose healing by finding ways to meet your needs, rather than pushing them aside or trying to forget about them. It's about living a life that matters. It's about find a way to be the person that you want to be.

Names and Naming - part 5

Within Numerology, your name is a potent and powerful symbol of your personality and the potential of what you can become. Your name can be a significant influence on your self-esteem, confidence, and sense of power. Your name is like a top quality clothing. Some people will easily grow into their names, while others will strain to fit. Does your name fit you? Have you grown into your name?

Your first name is the most influential part of your whole name. It has a constant effect on your daily life. For most of us, our names were given to us by our parents. They had a reason for giving you the name that they did. Do you know what they had in mind? Were you named for an ancestor, family friend, saint, or world hero? Did they know what your name meant? Are you happy with your name? Do you want to change your name?

According to some ancient beliefs, the name was a living part of the person. It was alive and as important as the spirit, personality, body and soul of that individual. For them, the name was a source of strength. The name for an individual was much more than a simple identifier, and it was chosen with due consideration. Your name can have a deep and powerful effect on your life. Children with odd or different names, such as Talula Does the Hula, can be ridiculed.

Suppose you work with a young man named Jason, and you want use Numerology to begin to understand him. First, you should know that we are more than our numbers. Secondly, you should probably try to get to know him, before you begin to use any system to label him. Finally, you should understand that we are trying to symbolically learn more about this person. With the right approach, you can more successfully use Numerology to learn learn about Jason, and perhaps learn about ways to more successfully relate to him.

In Numerology, every part of a name, first, middle, last, and even nickname can be turned into some number. You could do the Numerology Soul Number analysis and find out that his name works out to a #5. Reading about the Tarot cards, like the 5 of cups (or the others 5's), can help you to uncover the symbolism of the five.

Your research would let you know that Jason could be a curious person who may enjoy travel. Perhaps, you could get to know him better by talking about different places around the world that you would like to visit. However, please understand that this is one layer of information. Suppose you go deeper, talked with him a little more, got to know him better, and found out that his parents named him because of "Jason & the Argonauts". His parents were adventurous, and they wanted their son to have that same spirit. In understanding this, you might get to truly understand who Jason is and wants to be.

Our names distinguish us from the rest of the world. They are our "calling cards." Knowing some small unique detail about individual names could be a great icebreaker at your next party. It can help you to better connect with others, and maybe even give them a quick glimpse into another aspect of their personality. At the very least, it's a simple way to meet new people and to take conversations to a level deeper than; "What do you do?"

By learning about the strengths and weaknesses represented within names you can be able to improve yourself by intentionally choosing to build skills that match the positive influences of your own name. Hopefully, your work with understanding names can lead to deeper levels of personal growth and development. With a little elbow work, you can utilize Numerology to understand the qualities, characteristics, and traits that are symbolic of your name, and become the you that you were meant to be!

Your Core Numbers and letting go

How can your personal numbers help with the process of letting go? First, your Life Path, can help with the process of letting go, by helping you to focus on all of your important goals, especially those related to the long term. Do your present circumstances help or hinder you on your path? If you feel weighed down by some situation then perhaps it is time to find a way to let go.

Your Outer Number can help with the process of letting go, by allowing you to see yourself the way others might see you. It can help to give you a fresh perspective. By understanding it, you can learn to be more conscious of the way in which you lead your life. You might then be able to find ways to grow past personal limitations and restrictions. You might use your Outer Number as a conversation starter when you ask significant people in your about how they see you. Do they see you as courageous? Where do you shine? Where do you hide? Where are your pitfalls?

Your Outer Number can help you to better see both your strengths and your weaknesses and especially those traits that you don't recognize as even having. Your Outer Number is also those characteristics or parts of yourself that you feel comfortable sharing with the outside world. As you mature, you can begin to let go of this mask and allow the world to see the real you.

How you see yourself relates to your Soul Number. It illustrates your inner strengths, dreams and desires. It is those parts of yourself that you keep to yourself and may not be comfortable sharing with people that you are not close to. Your Soul Number can help with the process of letting go, by helping you to let go of habits and characteristics that no longer support you.

With your Soul Number you can reconnect with your inner dreams and let go of the critical voice that says you can't achieve them. Many people keep their dreams or desires hidden. You might want to use your Soul Number to open up a conversation with the significant people in your life and see where they might be able to assist you in stepping closer toward your dreams. Don't let your dreams take a back seat in your life for very long, as this can devalue your soul and erode your self confidence.

Your Maturity Number can help you in the process of letting go, by helping you to make choices that allow you to be as successful as you can be. It can guide you to solutions that correspond to your path in life and your goals and inner desires. With it, you can see which decisions are best for your overall psychological health and growth.

Your Destiny Number can help you in the process of letting go, by allowing you to see the choices that you have made that are supportive of your ultimate goals and dreams. When you feel that you have unmet desires, listening to the guidance that this number can provide can help you to make the course corrections that are necessary for leading a more fulfilled life.

Numerology and Letting go

Letting go, means that you understand you are not perfect. We all make mistakes. Nobody is perfect. Have compassion for yourself. Give yourself some freedom and learn to let go of your judging or critical voice. You may wish to work with a tool like voice dialogue, in order to truly access some your inner voices and to figure out what it is that you may really need in order to let go of the people, situations or habits that no longer support you.

Letting go is also about allowing yourself to become more rational and realistic about your own capabilities. There are certain things that you simply can't do. There are things that are outside of your control. There are also situations and events that you are not responsible for and you have no obligation to change them.

As you delve into your process of letting go, you might want to ask some of the following questions:

* How do I see myself? (represented by your Soul Number)
* How do others see me? (represented by your Outer Number)
* What are my strengths, and how can I best use them?
* What are my perceived weaknesses, and how do I let them limit me?
* What do I want to achieve? (represented by your Life Path)
* Am I willing to take responsible risks? (represented by your Maturity Number)
* Which strengths do I need to cultivate the most? (represented by your Destiny Number)

Take some quiet time to jot down your answers to these questions. You may want to talk with a close friend or a well qualified therapist to help you to learn more about yourself and begin the process of letting go.
