Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - Bringing about Balance - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

Our personalities are characteristics create our sense of individuality and uniqueness in the world. Why do we need to develop them? What is the purpose of change? Why is balance so important?

Many of us reach a stage in our lives when we come to understand who we are. We recognise our traits, strengths, challenges and how we manage and behave in life's various situations. Who we are at work is not who we might be with our family or who we are when playing sport or our shopping.

What we must do to reach our goals is grab hold of who we are in these situations and start to bring about balance. If we are always competitive, serious, upset, anxious or any particular trait we need to learn to restrict our reactive behaviour and start to have control of what is happening inside. To attract a better quality of family relationship we might need to think about different ways of being proactive and create a sense of unity. If we have a competitive nature at work, we might need to work better in groups or allow someone else to lead to get the promotion we are wanting.

Often reaching our goals is realised by having a balanced and controlled approach to what we are after. Overcoming our predictive natures and doing something in a different way and out-of-the-box could be just the trick!

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - Constancy to Purpose - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

The same ingredient in anyone's cake of success is constancy to purpose. When do we fall away from our desires? Why is it so hard to reach that next level? What is constancy to purpose about?

One of the challenges in life is achieving a desire, a goal or a different existence with something than to what we have now. We have dreams, ambitions and yearn for some way of making a difference in our lives and the lives of others.

Generally, in the process of a goal, we might make one or two steps towards it or in fact go right up to a point where we are almost there. At that final hurdle something out of the blue happens. An unexpected occurrence happens that we have never counted on and would have been impossible to foresee. The universe sends a challenge so big for us that it goes from being another hurdle to an 20 foot high fence causing a block.

For most people, one look at the fence and we back away even knowing that their dream was just on the other side of it. Rather than pursue any attempt at getting over the fence, the ego kicks in our heads saying that told you so, that it's all too hard, we never could do it and we were never meant to have it. Boom. We resume to our victim status. The dream fades and the work we did before the fence disappears into thin air as if we never tried.

The universe never sends us a small hurdle or a large fence we can't overcome. However, in the grand design of life and the perfect order of light, it knows that we have a lesson to learn and a strength to find in order to maintain our goal and share it. Therefore, that big hurdle is a perfectly placed fence required to give us the grounding to cherish and receive the gift of our desire. The fence is necessary part of the process and run for it, jump it and land on the other side of it with certainty. It's all designed for you. Stay constant to your purpose.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - About Lifting Energy - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

Levels of energy can have direct effect on our consciousness and effect our results in life. How do energy levels get low? How do we start to move to a higher energy? Why do we focus energy?

Low levels of energy, mild to moderate depressive states, anxiety and high stress can be indicated through certain reactive behaviours. These indicators will include under or over eating, easily angered or irritated, inability to sleep well, can’t concentrate on work or activities, discomfort in social situations, a tendency to fluster easily around people and financial over-spending. You can also see in someone or yourself sadness, a lack of interest in life, low self esteem and poor self-image.  
 
These kind of reactions cause a disconnection.  The disconnection from your true self and the life you really want to live starts to affect our results and remove us further and further away from the goals we want to achieve and the challenges we want to overcome. This distance causes a spiral effect of low energy and satisfaction in life.

The best way to start to regain you energy is to firstly claim back your true self. Start to remind yourself of the good things that you appreciate in your life and that you have already. Also, write down your goals, find images of the kinds of things you would like in your life, don't react to negativity and move your thoughts towards proactive behaviour that move you closer to your true self and your life of desire. While the initial steps will seem hard and small, you need to persist. The ripple effect of your desires will move through the universe growing and growing. The universe will start to send signals and move itself around so that your goals transpire and your true self is returned. Remember, you need to work, push hard when you don't feel like it and learn lessons along the way that you will need when success and energy are back in your hands.

 

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - The Foundation of Appreciation - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

Appreciation is very hard to begin to feel. How do we truly appreciate something? What does appreciation mean? How does appreciation build a foundation for a better life?

For some reason appreciation has come into  life. It's a really simple thing to talk about however, to get to a deeper level of appreciation takes a shift. The important shift in the beginning of reaching appreciation requires a different first step.

Appreciation is difficult to feel until we actually remove ourselves from the focus.  Appreciating something just because it is there, is very different to appreciating something because it benefits us or we have it.

For example, a big step in helping us achieve a fuller sense of appreciation is to start to appreciate people walking down the street. In the appreciation of a total stranger, we begin to see them in a different way and feel a connection with that human. The feeling of connection with that person is far greater fulfilment than appreciating someone because they did something for us.

Another example of appreciation is to take stock of what we have in our lives already that we overlook in our bid for more. Instead of consistently wanting more money, better job and or more happiness, have we stopped to really, deeply look at the £2 in our pocket that will buy  the hot chocolate, get the friendly smile from the lady that makes it, keep our hands warm and give us that brilliant start to the day? This is not a small example because in the appreciation for these moments and what we already have, we build a foundation for more into my life and more appreciation. That connects.

Soul Coaching & Kamic Astrology - Building the Picture of the Real You - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

Inside all of us is a different person to the one most people know us to be. Why do we hide our inner-self? How do we portray ourselves to others? What ways can we get the true-self to shine through?

One of the hardest challenges for us in our personal work and elevation is the ability to allow our true-self to come through. It's very easy for us to have an outside layer or wall which we create to protect ourselves based on our current life experiences, pressures and challenges.

Our outer-self is something we build in an effort to move us forward in life. There are tricks or tools as human beings we learn to ensure we don't get hurt, pained, unloved and so on. However, the trick is that these outer-self protection tools are indeed the very things that stop us from getting what we truly want and earned. These little tricks we think are helping us are the very things that give the same result and outcomes and hold us back.

These reactions and tricks of the ego conceal our true-self. The true-self is the real you. It usually lies a deep breath away. It's not far but far enough for the ego to intercede and block it. It is good to start to remember to take that breath, have that time and really dig deep in that few seconds to think what is best in every situation to become in tune with the real self. Once we start making decisions and actions from this space, the world and universe around we will start to attract what we're really wanting to have and to share.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - The Art of Restriction - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

One of the key tools is soul development is the art of restriction. What is restriction? Why restrict ourselves? When and with whom should we share or restrict?

Restriction is the ability to notice or become aware of yourself. It is the acute strength to see a pattern or behaviour or reaction and be able to move against it. Restriction is the muscle we build to push against our normal and natural reactions in everyday life and create an option or choice for ourselves to do something different in a proactive action with absolute certainty.

For me, I noticed that a lot of my reactions come from a thought flashing through my head. These thoughts varied. Some were like, 'They think I'm stupid,'I'm not good enough', 'I need to prove myself or impress', 'They are going to leave/abandon me'. and so on. From these points of low self-esteem we disconnect from our true selves and react in manner that brings us those results.

The art of restriction is to hear that voice in our head that pulls us down, think about what affect that has on our words, actions, confidence and energy, and then stop it. It would really smash that ego and reaction if we did something completely different to what our immediate action and impulse drove us to do. Take a breath, think and then act in a different way to usual and break that cycle. Restrict on hurtful relationships, restrict on wasting money, restrict on harmful words and so on and start to see light come into our life.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - Everything in Perfect Order - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

The universe provides in a perfectly organised and divine order. What are the ways we can tap into this order? Why does everything have order? How does this order impact us?

In a universe where energy for the soul is endless, it would make sense that we are able to tap into this power or light when we wish and receive in moments without any realisation of time or space. However, in true soul work, we need to earn  and share our abundance or desires to truly move our soul more towards this light. 

Each point along this journey to our desire, we receive rewards for our spiritual work from the universe by placing us in the right situations to earn or to share. If the reward is a challenging situation on the journey, we must earn our way to our desire, for example, by finding certainty or pushing against our ego. If the reward a situation of opportunity along the journey we have opportunity to share  with others which pushes us forward towards our desires and be like the light.

In the perfect order of the universe our desires are achieved by providing us opportunity to connect with the light increasingly and develop the relationship with the universe's energy. Always remember that where we are along our journey is the right spot for us and where we are meant to be. Remain in a state of appreciation that these challenges and/or opportunities are strengthening our soul to prepare us well for all the abundance we want to receive.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - About Finding the Light - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

Finding the light or finding the good in every situation is a great challenge. What is the light? How do we become thankful for every situation? Why do we need to see the light in even the worst of situations.

Life and the world is full of bad things happening to good people all the time. It is hard to find the purpose of someone having a serious illness, losing their job or not living in peaceful countries. To understand or find the reason why we are thrown into discomfort are sometimes beyond us.

In times of immense challenge and despair, we need to look for the good or the light. We are given these challenges as opportunities to work hard against our ego. This is the chaos in which we can dig deep to find what true power we have inside to bring rectification. It is our chance to be proactive and demonstrate our good, strong, sharing, true nature rather than react and fall into a spiral of anger, fear, despair, pity or other negative emotions.

Life gives us a chance to fall. The further we fall the higher we bounce back and the more light and good we become. Our intention and behaviour during darkness is what leads to the success of our desires. We have  more chance of success from hard challenges than having things too easy. From the opportunity to learn something about ourselves, face a challenge and the chance to earn our way out of hardship, we are given a space to be thankful.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - About Living in Prosperity - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

Prosperity is a word that conjures our imagination into a space without limitation and to dream freely. Why do our dreams stop in our mind? What is abundance? Are abundance and prosperity far away places we believe belong to others?

As children. many of us are taught stories that success is only due to those who live in sacrifice. We were taught that if we work hard, save and watch pennies, then we would have financial reward. In reality, many of us work hard, watch our money and save but never seem to get past living from pay-to-pay. If we do venture into abundance than it seems to be that we can't work hard and be wealthy without our relationships going downhill or our stress levels increasing.

Prosperity is releasing all the old myths, legends and childhood advice and turning it on its head. Having abundance of everything belongs to us in full and is a part of energy, creativity and what we feel inside is our true desire. As we have started to learn, having it all is within our potential.

Through injecting certainty, making proactive steps, gaining clarity, sharing the rewards and working against our normal behaviour, we start to move towards an elevation that brings us into a realm where we are able to attract our dreams into our reality.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - Miracles are for Everyone - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

Miracles are thought of as being something that are for the very few and inexplicable. How is it that we all have miracles everyday? What is an everyday miracle? Why are the sent to us?

Albert Einstein was best known for his logical, mathematical work. Einstein's theories of physics, cosmology and relativity are all respected for the order they unveil in the world of science. However, many of these kinds of thoughts in universal design already existed in spirituality. In fact, Einstein did much more work in spirituality and the soul that he is less known for than he did in science. He once said, "There are two ways to live your life - one is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is a miracle."

In our lives, to start to see everything as a miracle is when we start to see the order in which our lives are happening. A miracle is the extraordinary in the sense that it is amazing in its pure sense and probability. If we believe that our ambition, goal or desire is probable, and we believe it can happen, then it will.

It is not for us to decide how the miracle will happen as this is the journey of the miracle. The miracle is sent to us so we can experience the reward of the journey and learn more about ourselves along the way. We only need to have certainty in the force and energy of the creator. Us. Get precision and belief in our desired miracles and watch them become reality. There is never any need to give up a dream. If we are open to the journey, the miracle is open to us.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - Getting Certainty - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

When the decision comes and the idea is inspired, the ability to gain certainty about the desire can be a struggle. How do we get the esteem, the confidence, impetus and strength to put our dream into reality? Is there a way of gaining an absoluteness about the things we want to achieve?

When an idea comes to our head, hearts and souls, it can be very easy to brush aside> ideas and desires that are a real expression of who we truly are often intimidating or overwhelming. We can perceive them as out of reach, beyond our capability and not achievable, even though we were the ones who were given the idea to deliver. Our big purpose, our raison d'etre and all the great things that exist inside can be squashed seemingly as simply as they were created. Those magnificent dreams, passions, desires and wants are a wonderful thing however they can often be dismissed due to the various reasons. As quickly as we have the light of inspiration, we bring up as all the rubbish relating to why we are not good enough to achieve the idea or good enough to earn the success they will bring.

Getting certainty about the realisation of an inspired desire is a must. It is hard to exist with our ticket to ride on Earth without really pushing ourselves and stretching beyond our comfort zone. It is also important not to get to focused on detail. The world we live has miraculous and infinite ways of bringing to us the tools we need at every right moment and point when we are ready, so we can desire big.

The key to beginning to set upon the journey is to do what we can, get some quick wins and start sending pulses out to the people and environment around us regarding the direction we are heading. When we light our passion and we can open to the possibility of creating our desires.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - Stretch Our Boundary - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

Often, we live in a great deal of comfort in how far we believe we can extend ourselves. Wouldn't it be great if we could push just that bit further? How much more could we achieve if we stepped past our comfort zone? Can we make our lives as big as possible?

It's a real challenge in our day to day lives to see our potential beyond what we are doing. Each day holds a certain amount of routine and expectation. Within this routine we build a boundary or a barrier to what we could possibly be really achieving. We often dream of great things we could do but have a fear of putting these dreams on the line and turning them into reality.

What is a great desire to have in five years time? The challenge is not about creating a goal or aspiration as that can be something we do each day or each week, but to dig deep and commit to something that is big enough to hold for five years is a real stretch. The stretch is one desire we can really focus on beyond our daily and weekly routine.

To create a true desire it must be something that we ultimately share with other people. On top of pushing the desire to be a big stretch we must almost push past the boundary of whom we are willing to share the desire. We must push past the family, the friends, the neighbour and out into the community. The bigger the desire, the bigger the share and stretching ourselves to our full and true potential and fulfilment. Only then, real change is going to come.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - Dealing with Ego - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

The core of every development is dealing with our own ego. What is ego? How do we deal with ego? Why do we need to overcome the ego?

Ego is known as the opponent. It is the little voices in our head that throws of our course for reaching true fulfilment. The ego is to be treated as our very own opponent and to beat it, leads us on to happiness and free will. When we are led to think we are not good enough, not ready, find excuses or utilise reactions instead of pro-activity then our ego grows and leads us back to our usual outcomes.

To beat ego we must be aware of how it works and in what ways it sabotages our success. It generally appears best at work when we are, for example, thinking of ourselves, materialistically, for the moment, out of jealousy, fear, vengeance or confusion and to win. Truly successful and fulfilled people act for the greater good, exist with inner peace, focus on what is to be overcome, come from a place of forgiveness and compassion and can cut through reactions into an act of positivity.

The ego often appears as someone seeking acceptance, wanting to do the right thing by others, be noticed and be popular.  As an act to reach fulfilment, there are times when we need to say no, say what we truly think, share who we really are and allow ourselves to makes mistakes or ask for help. In this way, we can move to let go of sympathy, resentment and bring in a victory over addictive, negative behaviours.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - Changing Addictions - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

The patterns we hold on to are deeply engrained into our everyday behaviour. What ways can we identify addictive behaviour? How can we rectify it? Why do we need to let go of old ways?

Addictions aren't necessarily always related to the things we can clearly see. Often, addictions relate also  to actions, behaviours, emotional responses and pay-offs that are not visible. Addictions do not have to be of the drug, sex and monetary kind.

Realising true and ongoing fulfilment requires change. Change is a concept with which we all struggle. Sitting back and having a good hard look at the way we conduct our self, the choices we make and the reactions is a difficult challenge. To identify ourselves under the microscope can be very confronting and require a lot of hard work in letting go.

To gain ongoing fulfilment in life and achieve what we were put on this world to do requires us to create a while new system for life. Many addictions of behaviour in process of changing might include seeking acceptance, doing what other people would see as the right thing, afraid of not being liked, being seen as incompetent and responding to situations with fear, anger, insecurity or as a victim.

Theses are some of the ways we are addicted to behaving regardless of the situation. It really goes to show that no matter what happens in this world, the only thing we can do to make improvement is change ourselves. We need to make proactive decisions to be aware of these feelings and to act in a very different way.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - Our True Purpose - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

Behind our curtains, masks and barriers, lies our true purpose. Have we ever thought that there was something more to life than what we are doing right now? Ever thought that our true desires are beyond us? How would we ever achieve such things?

We all have a key purpose and we have earned the right to be born. Life has meaning and purpose and we are here to achieve something. Nothing here is random or accidental. There is no coincidence and we are born into a divine order. The universe has provisions for a grand design.

The fact that we have such an opportunity to reach our true purpose is the joy of being alive. We are here to create change in our life and share the abundance of its success with others. We are not here to be someone else's idea of what is right or wrong, good or bad or success or failure. It is our responsibility to accomplish our change for our purpose. We have earned the right to earn.

What is it here we are meant to do? Deep down we know what it is.
