Through the services of Awakening Your Life, Antonio is dedicated to being a catalyst for raising the Consciousness
of human beings by helping people find freedom from the conditioned patterns of their minds while awakening
the innate power and light of their Essence.
My Mission is to support people in living a life of awakening awareness that honors their Divine Design.
I empower people to access their Divine Design through creating a life of balance between the Yin / Masculine
energy that focuses on the external, physical senses, movement, action, and the mind; and the Yang / Feminine
energy which represents going within, intuition, stillness, slowing down, nurturing, creation, and our hearts.
By using the treasures they discover within as their guide to taking action, I support people in manifesting their
life purpose and living the path of their Divine Design in this physical world.
It is my intention to work with people who are interested in revealing and living their Divine Design and creating
a life of balance between their external world of doing and the inner world of Being.
Human Beings are currently re-learning how to reach deep life fulfillment by shifting their paradigm of living from
one of Doing > Having > Being to one of Being > Doing > Having.
In doing so, I believe all human beings are destined to turn their most magnificent, inspiring dreams into reality!
Those of us who are here on planet Earth are blessed to be alive at this point in human history. This awesome gift
of sentient life during this unique time also carries with it a great responsibility for us, both as individuals and as a
global community.
At the core of who we are is our Essence / Soul / Spirit / Being. At the level of our Being we are connected with
all life. We were not born into this world and universe, we were born out of it! We are a direct extension of God
(or whatever name you are comfortable giving to the Divine Creator or Universal Source).
We are not only an extension of Universal Life Force, each one of us is a unique extension of Life itself! We each
have our own unique gifts that we are born with, our own energetic vibration, and we each are meant to blossom
with our own unique qualities. We are a manifestation from the pool of "all that is", bringing our unique footprint
to this physical incarnation of Life.
I believe our purpose here on planet Earth is to fully express and live out that uniqueness. We are here to
express that Light through who we are here on Earth and that which we have that no other has.
We are here to manifest our Divine Design.
But here is the cosmic joke of life.....
We are also born with a mind which, through our evolutionary process, at its foundation is a survival mechanism
(our ego). At some point in history, having this automatic taking control of our actions mechanism may have
come in handy. But, as we are now evolving to a new level of conscious living with each other where the awareness
of our undeniable oneness and human connections is now more prominent than ever, it is not only divine timing
but essential that we begin to take personal responsibility for the ways of our individual conditioned patterns and
survival mechanism.
It is important to recognize that our survival mechanism is an automatic meaning making machine that, because
it has survival as it root, creates an illusion of separateness from others - thus tricking us into seeing others as our
enemy as a way for that very mechanism to continue to exist. It wants to survive! How it does this is by forming
judgements, opinions, and beliefs about everything in life in a way that supports the survival of itself.
As we grow up, we / our mind's / our ego's are shaped by the experiences of our life due to the ongoing
interpretations we give to these experiences, thus forming a reality about ourselves and the world around us.
These ever-growing and hardening layers of meaning that our mind gives to life eventually overshadows and
covers our Spirit and our Divine Design, often from a very young age.
Not only does the automatic meaning mechanism start to form layers of belief that slowly bury our Essence and
Divine Design, but some of the interpretations we make from our "survival instincts", create thick walls of fear
and disconnection in our lives. These instinctual brain responses that cut off the rational thinking part of our brain
are "built in", most likely having formed from the experiences of our ancestors who were living a fight or flight
existence.
But in modern civilized society and within the context of the "next level" of human evolution that is upon us, it is
critical for us to recognize how these survival reactions keep us from the best parts of who we are and therefore
impede us from fully experiencing, living, and enjoying all aspects of our life and our connection with others.
The other interesting aspect of this cosmic joke is that as we continue to create layers of interpretation about life,
including the interpretations about ourselves that help form our personality, we actually start to relate to this
made-up view of ourselves as being who we actually are. We then fit our "character" into all of the rest of life and
thus create our reality like a Hollywood movie, full of action, drama, ups and downs, with our ego as the star of
the show.
Once the movie begins, our identity begins a self-serving feedback loop that has a "life or death" interest in keeping
the movie going and supporting the reality of the drama. Without the drama continuing to play out, what would
happen to the ego? It would cease to exist. Therefore it will do everything in its power to not fade into the pool of
no-thing-ness .
Putting It Together
The main concept to understand about all of this is that no matter what "life story" we create - no matter how
"positive" or "negative" we interpret the experiences of our life - our interpretation of life is just that, an
interpretation we create that becomes our own personal fairy-tale! We made it all up! The things in life that
happened, just happened. We were the ones that made it good or bad, right or wrong, or called it whatever we
decided to call it.
Without the human brain and its automatic meaning mechanism, a thing is just a thing, a happening is just a
happening, life is just life. It is not until we call it a pretty thing, a bad thing, a good thing, a marvelous thing, or a
terrible thing, and then want to give that thing a label so we can relate to it, that we chain a bunch of
interpretations together that begin to create and unfold our personal version of "reality".
How we perceive life is what life gives us!
4 Steps To Practice in This Dance of Life
1) Responsible Acceptance - Life is what we interpret it to be. If we accept that our perception of life is the one
and only thing giving meaning to life, then we also instantly give ourselves the power to release those meanings
and interpretations that create barriers in our life. Only when we understand and accept our automatic meaning
mechanism ways can we reclaim our power and free ourselves from the self-imposed limitations that are born
from our perceptions.
2) Commitment to Awareness & Choice - Having a mind with a automatic meaning and survival mechanism is
part of who we are. Once we recognize and accept this part of who we are, we can become more aware and
responsible for the ways in which we interpret our lives and actually reclaim our gift of conscious choice over the
interpretations we make up! By taking this step, we empower ourselves to start creating interpretations that work
for us and not against us.
"Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're right!" - Henry Ford
We can also take this a step further by recognizing that no-thing means any-thing unless we make it mean
some-thing. Letting go of our attachment to all interpretation creates an "empty field" where we can start planting
and harvesting the fruits of life that truly fulfill and sustain us.
3) The Truth Within - Now that we find ourselves standing in the empty field of unlimited possibility waiting to be
sewn, where do we find the seeds for our planting? Once we step into our place of clarity without all of the
heaviness of our drama and judgements weighing us down, we can deepen our journey within - beyond our
interpretations - in search of our essence, our Divine Design, and the awakening of our inner wisdom.
4) Grace in Action - Without taking action in life we are only living half of who we are. Action is the Yin release
born out of the Yang going within. Once we reveal our Divine Design and awaken the seeds of our Being, we can
begin planting them in life through our words, our actions, our relationships, and in everything we do.
So......
What kind of world do you want to live in?
How do you wish to perceive and relate to the experiences and people in your life?
How do you wish to start thinking about yourself?
What seeds do you wish to plant?
Summary
Only when we accept and embark on our own unique journey of self discovery, uncovering our essence and the
great gifts of who we are, and then put into action our Divine Design, will we ever find our true joy and
fulfillment.
As a bonus, by taking these steps in our own life, we symbiotically are helping others in their lives too, which
moves us all closer to the collective awakening and transformation of all people!
The services offered through Awakening Your Life are therefore put forth to offer people the opportunity to
achieve greater awareness and clarity, to illuminate their Divine Design, to electrify their power to reclaim their
gift of conscious intentional choice, and to ignite their inspiration and passion into actions that lead to life-long
fulfillment and happiness!
