Jaké jsou zdroje nízkého sebevědomí?

2012-01-01T08:03:00.001-08:00

Perfekcionismus – nejsem takový (tak dokonalý), jaký bych měl být.

Pocit viny – přestoupil jsem určité nařízení a nesu za to vinu.

Stud a zahanbení – něco jsem udělal špatně.

Pasivita – měl jsem to či ono udělat a neudělal jsem to.

Psychické trauma – jsem tím či oním poznamenán.

Nekompetence – jsem neschopen, neumím, nevím, neznám, nevím si rady.

Odmítnutí – nepřijali mne mezi sebe, vyhostili mne, zbavili se mne.

Pocit oběti – neprávem mne odsuzují, špiní, zostuzují.

Selhání sebeovládání – nezvládl jsem svá pokušení, své vášně, touhy, snahy.

Sociální izolace – jsem společensky mimo – ti či oni mne mezi sebe neberou.

Jak poznat způsoby vymývání mozků? (Kathleen Taylor)

2011-02-12T06:26:00.000-08:00

Je to pár jednoduchých fíglů: vyvolat strach, okamžitě nabídnout zázračný recept, do propagandy zapojit oblíbené herce zpěváky nebo sportovce.
Krásně o tom píše Kathleen Taylor v knize Brainwashing. Jaké postupy používají manipulátoři, když chtějí lidem něco vnutit. Je jedno, jestli jde o prášek na praní, prášek na klouby nebo politický program.

Nejdřív je třeba lidi vyděsit: „Cholesterol zabíjí! Hrozí vám infarkt, mozkové příhody! Okamžitě si ho nechte zkontrolovat!“. Když je člověk vyděšený, přestane přemýšlet a snadno se s ním manipuluje. Vzápětí přichází uklidnění: „Nebojte se. My už to vyřešili. Máme pro vás úžasné léky. O nic se nestarejte. Musíte je jen celý život pravidelně užívat.“

A když chybí klinické studie, objektivní důkazy o účinku, tak se to nahradí důkazem sociálním. Člověk si pomyslí: když to bere hodně lidí, je to drahé, tak na tom musí něco být, to nemůže být podvod. Ale může!

Princip nedostatku – jakmile se někde objeví „limitovaná série, do vyprodání zásob, akční cena…“, tak si můžete být jisti, že toho mají plný sklad. Potřebují vyvolat hysterii. Jde jim jen o to, aby lidé nepřemýšleli a rychle jednali. Je proto potřeba udělat pravý opak: zastavit se a přemýšlet. Nenechat se strhnout davem a nepodlehnout manipulaci.

Buď se chcete léčit, anebo uzdravit (MUDr. Jan Hnízdil)

2011-02-12T06:22:00.000-08:00

Ze zdravotnictví se stal velký byznys. Medicínsko-farmaceutický komplex zaměřuje pozornost na klientelu, která je solventní, ale v podstatě zdravá. Je pro ni potřeba vymyslet nějakou nemoc. Vzniklo nové vědecké odvětví, které se zabývá medikalizací, tedy vytvářením nemocí z přirozených problémů každodenního života.

Když moji babičku bolelo koleno, tak věděla, že to prostě přehnala, že si potřebuje odpočinout. Dala si priessnitzův zábal, dva dny odpočívala… a byla zase v pohodě. Používala selský rozum.

Dnes ale s tímtéž problémem, pod tlakem propagandy, utíkáte k doktorovi. Ten vás hned pošle na rentgen, nad snímkem se zamračí a poví: „Člověče, vy máte artrózu, vy se musíte léčit!“. Automaticky dostanete prášky proti bolesti. Pomocí nich se sice zbavíte bolesti, ale tím i varovného signálu, aniž byste pochopil informaci, kterou vám to koleno chtělo sdělit. Pokračujete v přetěžování kolene – námahou, nadváhou, stresem… a s pomocí léků se velice rychle dopracujete k těžkým a nevratným degenerativním změnám, ke zbytečné operaci. Z člověka, který přišel s problémem, se stal pacient, s diagnózou. Obchodní trik se podařil.

Work on polishing the qualities you want in a relationship

2011-01-08T00:30:00.000-08:00

Write down the qualities you want in a relationship. See if you have those qualities, and work on polishing them. The person you attract will then be attracted to those qualities in you. See those qualities in people around you, and appreciate them. Notice you are attracting more and more people in your life with the qualities you want in your life.
One day you will likely at-tract to you a Beloved that reflects these qualities. If you are willing to BE all that you WANT, you are on the path to the conscious loving relationship your heart hungers for.
Divine-Feminine Institute

I've always wanted to meet someone adventurous & exciting. My life used to be anything but exciting. In fact i spent most days on the couch watching TV, dreaming of meeting a man that would bring excitement to my life. Of course, it never happened. Why would someone like that be attracted to someone so dull?
I've since gotten up off the couch & started seeking my own adventures. Diving,sailing,jet skiing. As a result, I've now met some fabulously exciting people. I'm now surrounded by the types of people I always wished I could attract. This is only due to the fact that I've now become one of them. I'm the type of person I want to be around.

Ignite the Greatest Light Inside You

2010-12-30T09:23:00.000-08:00

Realize that you ignite the greatest light inside if you are willing to reach out to the darkest and most neglected parts of you.

I invite you to do so now, at this very moment. Please take a look and see whether there is a negative emotion or thought inside you that shows up constantly and needs your attention. First realize that this dark emotion or thought is part of being human. Imagine that this dark area inside you is a child that has been neglected. You might find him/her hiding in a corner. Is it a boy or a girl?

Take a look and see whether you can find him or her, whether you can make contact with the child. Start with eye contact and then stretch out your hand carefully. Look at the child tenderly and see how hard he or she has tried to survive. This child is filled with joy and passion for life. However, he or she had to endure so much that the power of joy and passion has been distorted. The original energy of the child has become trapped in all kinds of masks and survival mechanisms, due to which their life force began to work against itself. But now, the child is allowed to be who he/she truly is. Please stretch out your hand and let your light shine. Welcome the child with your eyes.

Let the child come to you, in his/her own pace. Wait patiently, hold him/her in your arms and press him/her against your heart. What the child needs to relax and recover is to be seen and soothed by you. Observe how you shine with warmth, love and understanding when you are in contact with this helpless and agonized child. Inviting your darkest part in, welcoming it and bringing it home, brings out the lightest part of you. You understand how this child feels. This understanding heals. The child in the dark represents the part of you that has been carrying a lot of pain without being able to understand why. By surrounding this pain with understanding and compassion, you shine your light on areas that used to be the source of negative emotions and thoughts. At the moment you embrace the agonized child inside you, you become a human angel. You bring light into the darkness, which is exactly what humanity needs right now.

Humanity doesn’t need saints and guru’s who teach from a pulpit or pedestal, but real flesh and blood people who have experienced darkness and light by themselves and are able to embrace both without judgment. You become a human angel at the moment you dare to face and accept your own darkness. This will make your light pure and powerful. Life shall support you. You will be drawn to opportunities and places where you can reveal your highest self in an easy and natural way. You don’t have to work for it. You don’t have to pretend to be somebody else, since it is your own unique vibration and energy that inspires people and brings joy to them. It is you!

You represent the love of God in your unique way, because you are willing and able to face and embrace your own darkness with understanding. People experience openness, tenderness and inspiration in your presence, in the way you listen to them. Whatever you do in expressing and manifesting your highest self on earth, it will invite people to shine by themselves and believe in their own unique power and talents. To give the highest of you encourages other people to do the same.

Huna Kupua

2010-08-22T01:54:00.000-07:00

Huna Kupua
by Serge Kahili King

Huna is a Hawaiian word meaning "secret," but it also refers to the esoteric wisdom of Polynesia. Kupua is another Hawaiian word and it refers to a specialized healer who works with the powers of the mind and the forces of nature. In that respect it is very similar to the Siberian Tungusic word "shaman."

The understanding of Huna described here comes from the kupua tradition of the Kahili family from the island of Kauai, through Serge Kahili King, who was adopted as the grandson of Joseph Kahili and trained in his tradition.

The Seven Principles
The basic assumptions of Huna are these:

1. The World Is What You Think It Is.

2. There are no limits.

3. Energy Flows Where Attention Goes.

4. Now Is The Moment Of Power.

5. To Love Is To Be Happy With (someone or something).

6. All Power Comes From Within.

7. Effectiveness Is The Measure Of Truth.

The Three Selves (or Four)
Another set of assumptions used in Huna is that human behavior and experience can be explained and changed through the interaction of three (sometimes four) selves, aspects or functions:

1. The High Self (Kane, Aumakua), inspires.

2. The Conscious Self (Lono) imagines.

3. The Subconscious Self (Ku) remembers.

4. The Core Self (Kanaloa) wills.

The Four Levels of Reality
A third set of assumptions coming from the kupua tradition divides all experience into four levels or frameworks of beliefs about reality which can be summarized as follows:

1. Everything is objective (Scientific reality).

2. Everything is subjective (Psychic reality).

3. Everything is symbolic (Shamanic reality).

4. Everything is holistic (Mystical reality).

The kupua (Hawaiian shaman) learns to move in and out of these realities in order to change experience more effectively.

One Little Glimpse of Eternity

2010-06-30T08:50:00.000-07:00

by John Harricharan

It was many years ago. The boy was not more than

ten years old as he stood beside the man that early

morning. They were both standing on the shore of

the Atlantic looking east toward the rising sun. The

chill morning air caused a slight shiver to run through

the boy. The man, seeming to know, without even

looking, took off his jacket and draped it over the

small shoulders of his son.

They walked up to the water's edge as the man spoke:

"You see that wide expanse of water?

It is made of billions of gallons, and each gallon

is made of tens of thousands of drops."

The little boy seemed curious.

"And what are the drops made of?" he asked.

With a smile, the man replied: "The drops are made

of smaller and smaller drops, and each in turn is

made of bits and pieces of things

that make the very world we live in."

"What am I made of, Dad?"

the boy asked after a short while.

"Am I made of the same stuff as the ocean?"

The father smiled as he replied: "Everything is made

of everything else, and everything is a part of other

things. As you stand here this morning, you are a

part of this land, this shore, this ocean. Look at that

tree, the sky. They are parts of the very me and the

eternal I. There is a force that keeps us together.

Some call that force God, others, Allah, Jehovah, or

Love. There are a thousand names for this force, but

it doesn't matter what it's called. It just is. As you

grow older and wiser, you will find the stirring of this

mighty force within you.

You will know that it's always there,

and that you're safe and happy within it."

The boy, with a puzzled expression, looked at his

father and asked: "How can this force,

this God, be within me and at the same time

be in everything else I see?"

"Because," the man replied, "God is everything and

everyone. God is in you and in me, in those gulls

you see over there, in the sand under our feet and

the lilies of the field. God is everywhere and

everything, and there cannot be two of everything.

God is a part of you just like the

drop of water is a part of this ocean.

Remember this well and you will grow up to have

a sense of peace, joy and understanding..."

Decades have passed since I stood on that shore with

my father. I have since traveled to many countries,

lived in various cultures, and experienced deep sorrow

and great joy. I have seen the best and the worst of

my fellow human beings, Yet, through it all, I could

hear the voice of my father telling me:

"God is everywhere and everything,

and there cannot be two everything."

As a young boy, I grew up in a small village of Hindus,

Christians and Moslems. I learned at a very early age

that all people are shipmates on the common voyage

of life and that one cannot sink one's shipmates

without sinking oneself. As I studied the Vedic

writings and compared them with the words of the

Hebrew prophets and the teachings of the New

Testament Apostles, I found that the common thread

that ran through everything was love.

The greatest commandment ever given was

"Love your God and love one another" -

all others are simply variations on that theme.

Channeling Your Future Self

2010-06-22T12:55:00.001-07:00

Teacher:
DL Zeta

Your future self provides one of the most valuable forms of feedback you can receive. If your future self is able to connect with you in consciousness, this is proof you are taking steps in your present moment to develop a wise and advanced future "you." This future “you” is able to offer guidance and reassurance that the steps you are taking in your present moment are aligned with your spiritual purpose. In this way, your future self is a wise
source of comfort and assurance.

In addition to providing important feedback, your future self is able to bring you information and guidance for your present moment. Much of this information arrives in the form of "channeled" information. Channeled information is received into your consciousness as "energetic downloads" that your conscious mind over time learns to translate into words, images, concepts and inventions. You may experience these downloads as moments of sudden insight and inspiration, or as the arrival of previously unknown information into your consciousness. This information may arrive through different “channels,” including automatic writing, conscious or unconscious verbal “trance” channeling visionary art and energy healing. These are just a few ways in which you might experience these downloads.

Those who receive channeled information often identify the source of the material as coming from beyond themselves. However, in many cases, channeled information arrives in one's consciousness as the direct result of bringing one's energetic vibration into resonance with an advanced future aspect of one’s being. This communion with your future self might take place on the subconscious level - or if your conscious mind and that of your future self are aware and awake, you will both consciously recognize the exchange that is taking place.

It is important to note that these downloads and exchanges can take place whether you are consciously aware of them are not. If your conscious mind or ego is firmly in control, it will claim credit for the ideas and information you receive from your other "selves." If your ego believes itself to be limited in terms of its capabilities, it may choose to identify this channeled information as coming from an entity or being totally outside the self. If your ego is in a state of surrender to your spiritual purpose, it will humbly recognize the guidance and assistance it receives from other aspects of your being.

Your Future Self and the Akashic Records

One of the gifts you can receive through conscious communion with your future self is greater access to the "future Akashics." The Akashic Records are the etheric library that houses knowledge of all that ever has been or will be. This library contains all events and responses concerning consciousness in all realities that exist within the universe.

Whenever you align with aspects of your self that exist in other locations within the time/space continuum, you become more powerfully focused in consciousness. This powerful focus allows greater access to the knowledge contained within the Universal or Cosmic Mind. It is this access to the records of all time that make clairvoyance and all forms of psychic perception possible.

Your Future Self Holds the Key to Your Life Purpose

Your future self holds the "roadmap" for the path of spiritual development that stretches before you. By tuning into your own future consciousness, you are able to download this map, which provides you with the next step on your spiritual path.

This self can help you see how events unfolding in your present moment are helping you grow and expand. Because your future self has already traveled the stretch of life experience you are presently traveling, it can help you better understand your life purpose as it is unfolding within your present moment even though they may feel challenging and difficult at the moment. As a wise guide and mentor, your future self can help guide you to each new step on your journey of becoming. It can help you attune to the higher vision of each person, event and situation that arrives in your life.

Letting go of the old you

2010-02-26T21:24:00.000-08:00

The transition from ego based to heart based consciousness progresses along a number of stages:

1. Being unsatisfied by what ego based consciousness has to offer you, longing for "something else:" the beginning of the end.

2. Becoming aware of your ties to ego based consciousness, recognizing and releasing the emotions and thoughts that go with it: the middle of the end.

3. Letting the old ego based energies inside you die, throwing off the cocoon, becoming your new self: the end of the end.

4. The awakening of a heart based consciousness within you, motivated by love and freedom; helping others making the transition.

Jeshua channeled by Pamela Kribbe

Think backwards

2009-12-29T14:12:00.000-08:00

When you're planning to travel, where do you usually begin that planning? You begin with the destination.

You cannot know what direction to go unless you know where you would like to end up. So a successful plan begins with the destination and works its way backwards to the point where you begin.

When you desire to reach a specific goal, the same kind of approach will work very well. Start with the end goal, and develop your plan backwards from there.

When you're clear about the goal, you can easily figure out what would be the last step necessary to reach that goal. When you know the last step, you can determine what the step before that will be.

You can develop your plan, step by step, from the end to the beginning. When you do, instead of wondering what the best first step would be, you'll know precisely what to do first, what to do after that, and what to do after that.

However ambitious the goal may be, there is something you can do right now to get off to a solid start. Visualize the goal, work backwards step by step, and you'll know precisely how to begin.

-- Ralph Marston

HOLISTIC BUSINESS

2009-11-26T23:07:00.001-08:00

Joe Vitale is a brilliant teacher of prosperity in business. He's got one of my articles - an outline to Holistic Marketing on http://www.mrfire.com/article-archives/guest-articles/holistic-marketing.html

Holistic Marketing Must-Do's:
1.Set the example of your work – where is the benefit of what you have learnt to you yourself? Demonstrate that in the world.
2.Get regular treatments yourself – or dose yourself with flower remedies, get swaps etc.
3.Visualisation. Visualise the good effect of your work on dozens of people every day. That draws them just as fast as advertising.
4.If you are a healer, send healing to your clients after their sessions too.
5.Meditation. Spend at least two minutes a day visualising yourself where you want to be next year. Do this until you feel deep, pleasant emotion because then you are starting to manifest it.
6.Use affirmations.e.g: 'My work is loving, effective and much sought-after.'
7.Prayer. Ask to be shown how to reach people – and what, if anything you need to amend.
8.Address prosperity issues – to do with spirituality and wealth. Work out what your issues around finances and marketing are and do what you can to heal them.
In a nutshell – live your therapy or work. If it's not working for you, why are you trying to sell it to somebody else?

Decide who you are and what makes you and your business special.

Set yourself a silly annual goal like testing out all the crème brulees in the country or seeing all the pre-Raphaelite paintings. If you have a life, you'll resonate that in your business.

If people say you charge too much say: 'My fee includes this, this and this…what do you want me to leave out?' Remember, your fee is about the time you took to learn all this.

If other people are doing better than you check out your own resistances to success. Good affirmation: 'What God does for others, He now does for me – and more.'

Social World/Human nature responds to:
Passion;
Attention-getting devices – campaigns, special offers;
Sound-bites - attention spans are short;
Name of business – make it catchy;
Humour;
Repetition.

Mailing List
Start a customer newsletter including. quotations and articles. Give out for free whenever you can. Email is easiest. And send to radio stations, newspapers, TV too.
Start with the old favourite, the Tip Sheet: a concentrated list of 6-12 ideas around all aspects of your subject.

E.g.
Ten practical uses for aromatherapy oils
Ten things you can do to help yourself with acupressure
Ten ways to relieve stress
Ten tips for a prosperous life

Establish Yourself as an Expert
Have feedback forms that can be used for testimonials on leaflets or your website.
Notice what magazines are writing about and how it pertains to you and suggest new angles.

Contact radio stations – 'I'd love to talk to you about what I'm doing' – most have slots for therapists/life coaches.

Letters to the Editor…read more than any other part of the paper. Positive letters WILL get published - whenever you see an article in your area of expertise, ADD TO IT with a letter. 'Readers might also like to know that…Tell them why you're commenting as an expert. 'As someone who…I was delighted to read….I do the same…

Write for your association magazine.

Write columns for websites.

Articles, newsletters, conferences in our field. MBS etc.

CDs of meditations/tips/ideas to help people.

Volunteer work…hospice? Prisons?

Holistic Marketing Must-Do's:

How to Make a Harmony Wheel

2009-11-26T23:06:00.001-08:00

How to Make a Harmony Wheel
Picturing your own prosperity is a powerful way to bring it to you and one of the best ways to do that is to create a Prosperity Wheel. This is a visual image of what you want to create which acts as a constant reminder to think about abundance and happiness instead of misery and lack.

Many spiritual teachers such as Catherine Ponder or Shakti Gawain recommend Prosperity Wheels (also called Treasure Maps) to help create what you need in your life.

Firstly you need to find or buy a large piece of paper or poster board, preferably coloured. Strong colours make a stronger impression on the mind. Make the wheel as big and bright and colourful as possible. Drab small images bring drab and small results!

In her book Open Your Mind to Prosperity (De Vors) Catherine Ponder suggests the following colour schemes:

Green and gold for finances, jobs and career success.
Yellow or white for spiritual understanding and development.
Blue for education, intellect, writing books or articles or studying for a degree.
Yellow or orange for health and energy.
Pink or warm red for love, marriage, happiness in human relationships.

Once you have chosen the colour of background which best reflects your goals, find a picture of yourself looking happy and healthy and looking straight at you and stick it in the centre of the paper. Some people prefer to put a spiritual symbol there instead of themselves but I find that the Prosperity Wheel works better with the spiritual symbol (whatever inspires you) placed at the top to help channel spiritual prosperity to you.

Next work out exactly what you do want in your life, whether it's love, a new home, a car, a job, a holiday, a baby or whatever. This is vital. Prosperity wheels actually work and if you put something on one that you don't really want, you can end up with a problem.

Words and Pictures

Then find colour pictures that reflect or represent the things you want in your life and stick them on the paper around your picture. Draw lines from you to the pictures, like the spokes of a wheel, and write on them the embodiment of your dreams, such as 'I now have a loving, faithful, kind and honest partner and we love each other.' Be sure to write these 'affirmations' in the present tense. Remember how literal the Universe gets - if you want something now, you have to inform the Universe that it is already planning to send it to you.

Finally, write the all-important Universal Disclaimer on your wheel. This goes as follows:
These things or something better now manifest for me, in easy and pleasant ways, for the highest good of all concerned.

This is important so that you do not get the cash for that longed-for holiday through a court case or insurance after breaking a leg or you do not get anything which would hurt anyone else. You need to be very clear. Be warned that a prosperity wheel is a very powerful thing and it needs to be made and used with respect. It is vital that you ask for things for the highest good. Otherwise you are practising magic rather than spirituality and the consequences for you and others could be unpleasant.

Caution!

Be very careful that you only ask for what you truly want and consider the consequences of asking! Do not go crazy and put up a picture of Russell Crowe, Jennifer Aniston or any other famous person and ask for them to be the new relationship in your life (though using their pictures to denote the type of looks that you like is okay. Just make it clear in your link to the picture that it's the type you are after).

Never ask for a relationship with a married man or woman even if you are in love with one. That really does create bad Karma.

One man who was looking for love actually married a woman who was already pictured on his wheel, even though he didn't know it at the time. Her picture was on a poster on the wall behind him in the picture he used of himself. He had put his wheel away by the time he met her and only realised after they were married.

That was an example of synchronicity or even destiny BUT even if you do want to go out with someone famous, don't ask for it specifically and don't push the Universe - it doesn't have a sense of humour. God, on the other hand, does and the two together can mean that you get exactly what you asked for and you won't like it!

If you do ask for something unrealistic such as Mr. Crowe or Ms. Aniston, it is actually possible that you could find yourself having a fling or even in a partnership with a famous person who has dumped a very well-known and beautiful husband or wife for you and may even be in the process of a costly and public divorce. This might or might not be Mr. Crowe or Ms. Aniston themselves - but if it couldn't get them, the Universe would still be doing its best and would turn up someone else semi-well known, from another country and (probably) with an ego the size of a house.

Then you might end up with stepchildren; you will have to move across the world, the tabloids will constantly compare your face, figure and background (unflatteringly) with your predecessor who will probably bitch about you in public. You will constantly fear being replaced; you may have to live with a bodyguard watching your every move. You would certainly never dare go out of the front door without full make-up and designer clothes (and that's just for men!) and the day after there was a huge feature on the two of you in Hello magazine, you'd get dumped. Would you really want that?

What would be even worse than all that would be for you to find that you really didn't like your movie star after all, and it had all been for nothing.

Just thought you'd like to know all these things!

Ask For Yourself Only.

Do not ask for things that do not concern you. You may only represent your own life on a prosperity wheel. It is perfectly fair to put up pictures of loved ones affirming love and happiness between you because that is part of your own life. But making a prosperity wheel for someone else without their permission is interference in their life of the highest order.

If a friend or loved one is sick and you want to picture them surrounded by health and love and light, still get their permission first. The only exceptions are if your spouse or your children are too sick to help themselves.

Film stars aside, make sure your pictures represent what you really want.

My ex and I once wanted a larger home the Midlands. We had a dual prosperity wheel with a picture of us in the middle but my ex decided to put a picture of Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland on the wheel in the place of the new home.

Within two weeks we had received an offer from old friends to join them in a venture of buying and restoring an old and very large house in Scotland. Rather swiftly, my ex took the Scottish picture down and replaced it with one of the kind of houses that we really wanted. He also added the words 'in the Midlands' on the spoke of the prosperity wheel leading to the house - and the perfect home turned up within months.

NB Unless your partner is 100% with you in prosperity work, don't put a joint picture on your wheel. If you do, then their energy will pull against yours and the wheel almost certainly won't work.

I also know of a woman who desperately wanted a baby and planned her wheel down to the last detail. But she never actually made it. When pushed as to why she hadn't followed through, she realised that the wish for the baby was a fantasy; she was not ready for a family and there was work to be done in the relationship with her husband before they went ahead. Without the promise of fulfilment the wheel offered her, she might not have thought the situation through and got pregnant much too early.

Another woman put a picture of herself holding her baby niece in her section on 'good health and happiness in family and friends' and five months later found herself pregnant. She had not wanted children that early in her marriage and she was taking contraception - but she had put out a message to the Universe that she wanted to hold a baby, and it delivered.

However, the stories I have of successful and happy outcomes of prosperity wheels far outweigh the mistakes. I know of new confidence, financial windfalls, babies, new jobs, homes and great relationships, all of which came for prosperity students who made a wheel.

I once made one for a magazine article and asked a friend if I could feature her. She said yes – and approved all the pictures. This was a wheel to attract romance. Within two months she was going out with a male friend of mine. The Universe saw that I had made her the wheel therefore her prosperity came through me.

The relationship lasted for more than two years and was very healing for both of them – but now it's time for her to make her own wheel to attract her true life-partner.

Usually a couple of things on your wheel will happen swiftly, as though they were only waiting your permission to manifest. Others take more time - maybe even up to a year. They can only come when your subconscious mind can accept that you deserve them, so there is often more inner work to do.

If something doesn't happen, you need to examine whether it would be for the highest good of all if it did come. If you are stuck, it is sometimes worth getting someone else's point of view on the issue. That's why prosperity support groups are so valuable.

Placement

Where you place your wheel is also important. Many teachers say it should be hidden away so others cannot deride it or interfere with it. However, one woman had one of her dreams come true simply through a friend seeing what she was asking for and revealing that they knew how to achieve her goal. This one is up to you.

However, the Feng Shui of the place in your home, where the wheel is, can be important. There are areas of houses which do not have the correct flow of 'chi' to promote prosperity everywhere. If you do not know the Feng Shui of where you live, your best bet is to put the wheel next to, or on the door of, the main door into a room. This is known as 'The Gateway of Chi' and is a neutral area which will not interfere with the energies of a wheel.

Finally, look at and enjoy the pictures of what you are creating in your life. Change them as they become real or as you realise you no longer need them. When you feel you have had enough of looking at the wheel, take it down and either dismantle it or throw it away and make another one. Don't be surprised if it goes on working long after it has been taken down.

Psychic Space Clearing Meditation

2009-11-26T20:54:00.001-08:00

The major advantages of keeping your psychic space clear are:

~ You don't attract problems to yourself.

~ You avoid what may seem like accidents.

~ You find that you say more appropriate things.

~ You feel more centered and directed.

These may sound like small advantages but they will make your life much more manageable. This exercise of Psychic Self Care, if practiced twice daily, will become automatic for most people within 6 months to 1 year. I think of it like the automatic pumping of my heart now, I don't have to think about it, it just works.

Step 1:

Make a quiet time for yourself, if you meditate do this just before you begin, it will only take a few minutes and the advantages are well worth the extra time.

Step two:

Request your highest guides to be with you as you relax, take 3 deep breaths.

Step three:

Picture a rose with a long stem in front of you. When you have the rose there place another behind you, then one on either side, one above your head and a 6th just under your feet. Don't get discouraged, use your wonderful imagination, the roses can be open or closed and any color is O.K Keep breathing.

Once you have mastered this move onto:

Step four:

Put your attention on the bottoms of your feet, imagine yourself opening a place in the bottom of your feet in the center, as you do this you can feel the energy begin to tingle there. Next imagine like the roots of a tree going from the bottom of your feet down into the earth, feel the cool earth and the rock as you move easily through it all the way to the center of the earth. Now allow the energy from the center of the earth to come up through the bottom of your left foot and into your ankle, calf, knee, thigh and into you pelvis and lower abdomen. When it gets to this point direct the earth energy down to your right thigh, knee, calf, ankle and out your right foot back into the earth.

Step five:

As you continue to run the earth energy, direct your attention to the top of you head, and imagine yourself opening a place in the top of your head, as you do this you begin to feel that tingling just like you feel in your feet. As you do this feel the Light Energy of your Highest Self begin to move into your head, neck, shoulders, down your arms and back to your pelvis.

Step six:

As these two energies meet, direct the Earth energy to mix with the Light energy and this mixture move up the front of your body, out the top of your head like a fountain and imagine this mixture of Earth and Light Energies pouring over your entire being.

Step seven:

Continue this for about 3 to 5 min.

Step eight:

When you feel complete, imagine the Light energy moving up your spine and back out the top of your head and the Earth energy moving from your abdomen and pelvis down your legs and feet and back into the earth. Be sure to imagine that the bottoms of your feet and the top of your head are closed when you finish this part of the exercise.

Step nine:

Be sure to look for your roses you planted in your auric garden. If they have wilted or lost their stems (grounding cord) then imagine them full and complete and grounded again.

Pleiadan Workbook by Amorah Quan Yin

Transform Fear Into Creativity

2009-11-26T09:17:00.000-08:00

You literally have all the tools inside you to assist in your own health and well being. You can reduce your stress, release fear, focus better, and learn to harness your body and mind to facilitate the health and life changes you want.

By Michele Meiché

1. How can you get over what you fear? You can transform it into creativity. Fear is a very powerful energy. In fact, it is an energy in motion – An emotion. I have found the best way to harness this energy is to use it positively. You can write, draw, go for a walk, run, or even swim. The main thing is not to dwell on what you fear. I have a 3-minute rule. I use this with many of my clients. I say allow yourself 3 - 30 minutes to mull things over and dwell; and then put the fear away and do something proactive and uplifting for yourself. I also suggest listening to my CD Transforming Fear into Creativity and to do the meditation processing on it. I do this, myself, once a day; sometimes more depending on what new challenge I am experiencing. We all have fear. Fear is natural to a degree and doesn’t go away; however it can be a powerful tool if it is harnessed right.

2. Ever notice how hard it is to get out of a bad mood? It is easier to get out of a bad mood by not getting into one! How you might say? You can set the tone for your day at the beginning of the day.Your day literally starts before you get out of your bed. Start your day by not rushing…. Take a little extra time getting out of your bed and do a 3 minute focused meditation. After awakening don’t just rebound out of your bed. Lay there for a minute or two, close your eyes, focus on your breathing and slow your breath down. Tell yourself "I am in the flow of my day. I am calm and centered inside." Now bring your attention and focus to the top of your head and notice how you are breathing. Begin to notice the part of you that is observing you. If thoughts come in your mind that’s ok, focus on your breath and keep it at a slow stead pace. Repeat to yourself " I am in the flow of my day. I am calm and centered inside." Now you are ready for your day. You are now your own stress management consultant. And, if by chance the day is hectic at least you will be relaxed and centered inside.

3. Your breath is a wonderful tool for relaxation and it is free. It is said that when the breath is steady the mind is calm. The next time you are feeling rushed or stressed over some situation try this exercise; better yet, try this exercise for 21 days and notice how you change your overall attitude in life. Take about 10 minutes for yourself, go somewhere where you can have some quite time. Now get in a comfortable relaxed position. Allow yourself to take this time to focus on relaxation and rejuvenation. Close your eyes. Now with your inner gaze focus on the heart – lung area of your body and begin to slow your breath down. Allow your breath to slow down. Now begin to breathe in for a count of 3, lightly hold for a count of 3, and exhale slowly all the way out for a count of 3. Allow yourself to breathe all the way into your stomach-abdomen area. Do this 5 or 6 times. Now allow your breath to go back to its natural rhythm and simply watch your breath. Notice how you feel. Focus on each inhalation and each exhalation. If any thoughts come in your mind, simply bring your focus back to your breath. Now see how much more calm and relaxed your are. You can now decide to live in a relaxed and healthy way, And, like anything else practice makes perfect.

4. Many people now see success coaches to help them accomplish their goals.This can be costly and time consuming. You can be your own success coach by visualizing and rehearsing your success twice a day. It is best to do this at a time you have for yourself and this process. First, I would suggest writing down your goal. Write this down in the present tense as if you were already living your goal or dream.Next, you will need to get into a comfortable and relaxed state. It is much easier to create positive changes in a relaxed state. This state also begins to quiet " The Doubter "part of us all. You know the part that says you can’t do this! Now, close your eyes and get in a comfortable relaxed state. Slow your breath down. Breathe in for a count of 3. Hold your breath, lightly for a count of 3. Exhale all the way out for a count of 3. Do this for a couple of times until you feel more relaxed; then visualize yourself experiencing your goal or dream. Notice how you feel and use this feeling to connect more with your goal. Next imagine yourself achieving your goal and living your dream. Research has shown that most people that succeed in their goals can see themselves achieving their goals and living their dream. This is most noted with athletes, who use the power of visualization and focus to meet their goals. If you can see it, and believe it; you can achieve it.

Daily Prayer: This I Know

2009-09-20T13:13:00.000-07:00

Everything on the earth has a purpose and a reason for its existence.
Every human being is a warrior and every warrior has a song written
in his/her heart and that song must be sung or the soul forever
remains restless.

This song is always about serving the Great Spirit and helping the
people. This song is always sung for the people. Many times I need to
learn much about the difficulties of life.

I need to know this, so I must experience it. Then I can be of use to
the people. Because I am experiencing difficulty does not mean I have
left the path or that I have done something wrong. It means I'm doing
the will of the Great Spirit during these times of testing. I need to
pray constantly to keep a good attitude.

Great Spirit,
this I know -
You will never leave me, only my doubting makes it seem like You do.
This I know -
Your love is always dependable, only my doubting makes it seem like
You do.

Today remove the doubts from my belief system and allow me to stand
straight and see You with straight eyes.

Spirituality and the Presence of Dragonfly

2009-09-15T20:35:00.000-07:00

Spirituality and the Presence of Dragonfly
by Estee Taschereau

Dragonflies are ancient insects dating back over 180 million years old.
In the USA alone there are over 650 species of dragonflies in the US alone. These amazing creatures have been a symbol of grace
in teachings of Feng Shui, and a symbol in shamanism for transformation and seeing in a new light.

Dragonflies spend their first two years in the water as nymphs.
Then they climb from the water and transform completely into winged insects with great agility and speed.
Their agility in flight is similar to that of the hummingbird,
another powerful totem spirit.

During its two year incubation cycle in the water the dragonfly sheds up to fifteen skins. The dragonfly also holds the qualities of the water,
contributing to its grace.
Water holds deep seated thoughts, emotions, and the yin quality of introspect.

Since the dragonfly life cycle encompasses both the waters and the sky
this creature is tied to our own transformationa....l abilities. The key is to remember that any transformation,.... to be complete, takes time.

Dragonflies possess the spectrums of color in their transparent wings
and their vision. We can bring focus to the great spectrum of luminous colors available to us through our higher spiritual presence. The multi-faceted eyes of a dragonfly also show us that anything can be seen from different perspectives, even the illusions of life.

In our own spiritual journey we can bring in many spiritual totems to represent a quality we seek to embellish in our life.
The totem of a dragon fly can mean gaining greater understanding
of our life long transformation process, with patience for what is known
and yet to be discovered.

The dragonfly totem is a great focal point for a meditation.
You can bring in the transformationa....l quality of the dragonfly,
with clarity of perception within the moment, and the grace of the overall transformation we create in our lives.

Begin With Gratitude

2009-09-03T13:06:00.000-07:00

Begin With Gratitude

A day that begins with gratitude is a day that you'll

be able to fill with positive progress. When you're

sincerely appreciative of where you

are and what you have, you'll

greatly expand your own possibilities.

Begin with a thankful thought and connect

yourself with the abundance that is all around you.

There is always something for which you can be

sincerely thankful and the simple act

of being thankful ignites a

productive momentum in your world.

Make gratitude your first response and it will soon

become an empowering perspective from which

you can achieve great things. Rather than

looking for something to criticize, look for things

to genuinely praise. Make the most positive

qualities the first things you notice in people,

in your surroundings, and in the

situations which come along.

By focusing your thoughts on the positive aspects

of your life, you cause their influence to grow. Be

grateful, and your gratitude happily

creates even more things in your life

for which you can be grateful.

The appreciation for what you have gives more

value to all that you are. The blessings you

enjoy are blessings precisely because

you see them as such.

Tap into the great reservoir of real value that is

already available to you. Live with gratitude,

and you'll create even more reasons to be thankful.

Ralph Marston

For Someone Who's Grieving

2009-08-04T11:22:00.000-07:00

Something has left your life and changed it. However much you may wish otherwise, you will never be the same. What has happened to you may be the most heart-..wrenching experience you have ever known. Perhaps you have lost what you thought you could not possibly live without. Perhaps something has been taken from you that has given your life deep meaning and great joy. Perhaps you have been given news that threatens to be your undoing.

But you can heal. You can be whole again. You can be you.

The best way to handle your feelings is not to "handle" them but to feel them.

You may receive unhelpful messages from others about how to deal with your feelings as you go through this chaotic time of your life. You may receive such messages even from yourself. Here are three examples:

1. "You must be strong now." Sometimes you're expected to be strong for your own sake, and sometimes it's for other people, usually those in your own family. "Be strong," of course, has another translation: "Don't show that you're weak by putting your emotions on open display."

2. "You're handling this very well." The translation here is, "You're not crying and acting upset in front of others." It's reported that an entire generation took important cues about handling their loss from Jackie Kennedy on national TV in the days following JFK's murder. Her private, reserved way need not be yours.

3. "Cheer up. You'll be over this soon." Many people know how to respond better to happy faces than sad ones. They have special difficulty when those faces stay sad for a long time. In a subtle way they're saying to people like you, "Hurry up now. Let's get this part over with." They're saying this more for their own comfort than for yours.

If you hear these or similar messages, you will do yourself a favor to ignore them.

You may experience feelings you'd expect. You may be angry, if not enraged. You may be unusually anxious and not understand why. You may feel a real sense of relief, as if a burden has been lifted from you. Afterward you may feel embarrassed that you felt so relieved. You may feel guilty, unexpectedly so.

Another sensation you may experience is this: almost no feeling at all. You may feel empty and numb. That's a common reaction at first. It's a sign that your body may be protecting you for awhile, until you are more ready to process all that has occurred.

But you cannot escape your emotions.

Your choice is simply this: you can experience your feelings and move through them as they surface, or you can put them off until another time. But you do not have the choice of putting them off forever. Somehow, sometime, your feelings will demand your attention. By then they may be even stronger and deeper than now.

REMEMBER: the best way out is always through. The best way to get beyond your feelings is to experience them as fully as you can and as often as you need to. Sometimes it makes perfect sense to act a little crazy.

If your loss has been severe, and if your pain is intense, you may have cause to lose your reason. You may feel and act not quite normal. That happens naturally when everything around you feels abnormal.

If there are signs this is happening to you, keep the following ideas in mind:

*First of all, try not to panic. You're actually in good company. Lots of people pass through "the crazies," emerging with all their faculties fully intact. Remember that you sometimes need to fall apart before you can come back together in a healthier way.

*Select one person whom you trust for their honesty and their maturity, and ask them to be your gauge. If you want feedback about how you're responding, or if you want assistance with your decision-..making, turn to that person. Don't attempt to follow everyone's advice -- it won't work.

*Talk things out. Speak whatever is on your mind. You may find that some of your thoughts are irrational, but you won't know that until you've heard yourself saying them out loud. Sometimes it's only after you've spoken opposing ideas that you know both thoughts cannot be true at the same time.

*Keep a journal about what's going on inside. Then go back in a few weeks or a few months and see how your thinking is changing. Notice the ways you're growing.

*Take yourself lightly at times. While your life may feel justifiably heavy these days, it's still possible you may begin to see the humor in some of the things you've said and done. Smile at yourself, and be forgiving. Remember your stories so you can retell them one day as a way of helping others, just as Helen Hayes has done for you.

The Crystal Children: Transmitters of Multi-Dimensional Light

2009-07-31T10:57:00.001-07:00

We greet you, beloved fellow inhabitants of the Multi-Dimensional Earth. We rejoice with you that so many of you have now completed your transitions and are now willing to help others to make their transitions into the higher frequencies of consciousness.

Our Work With You

We, as the Crystal Children, incarnated on Earth to assist you to raise the frequencies of consciousness on the Planet. At first there was only a small group of us, but we worked with those of you who were ready to make your transitions and ascend into multi-dimensional consciousness. And, as you made your transitions, we held you in our energy fields. We helped you to remember a time when you had experienced this energy before, in ancient Egypt, in Atlantis and in Lemuria. And we helped you to keep your balance as you made this difficult journey back to your true identity as Human Angels. This was difficult for all of us. For you, making the shift was intense and demanding spiritual work. For us, it was equally arduous. We had to deal with the demands of incarnation into a human body while also assisting the Planet in its shift to the Higher Dimensions of Light.

The Crystal Children and their Spiritual Mission

We need you to understand that although we are perceived as children, we are Masters of Multi-Dimensional frequency. When we incarnate into your families, we take the bodies of children, but our energies reach far beyond these limits. A Crystal Child has a huge aura, relative to the average person. The aura may extend from five to ten miles in radius. Sometimes even more, depending on the strength and center of the child. In our Higher Dimensions, we are constantly monitoring the energy levels around us, and using our energies to help to balance and shift these energies. This work accounts for why so many of us are over-energised and anxious at times. We are filtering through our awareness the energies of those around us. This was our choice and our mission to assist the planet at this time. But we need you, as our parents and caregivers, to be understanding of how much work we are doing of which you may not be aware.

Masters of Light

Crystal children are Masters of Light and Sound Frequencies. They balance frequencies in their immediate area, and globally, by transmitting through their bodies and their auras whatever colour frequency or ray is needed by the planet or by that area. Most often this is the Gold or Magenta rays, which are primary in the Ascension process. Crystal adults are also part of this process, but generally find it easier because once they have made their transition they have a better idea of how to balance their energies and care for themselves. Crystal children have to rely on their parents and caregivers to understand why their energy may fluctuate and why they have special diet and other needs. So, parents of Crystal children, we ask of you to understand how important it is to nurture us and care for us in ways that enable us to carry out our work for you and for the Planet.

Love and Support

As Crystal Children we require love and support. The more love you transmit to us, the more we are empowered to transmit our Higher Frequencies to the places on the Planet where they are needed. We, as Crystal children, always choose parents or siblings who are Indigos, because we need that energy of the Spiritual Warrior to support us. We need you to believe in us enough to support us by refusing to drug us or force us to conform to conventional 3D ways of being that are against our multi-dimensional natures. And if you can support our being - we in turn can support you in your changes.

August 2004

In this period the first wave of transitioners have stabilized into the 5th and 6th dimensions. This is good news for us, because it means that there is now a significant group of Crystal Adults to assist the Crystal children to hold the energies on the Planet and to help to create the New Earth. And because this group has achieved stability, many more people will be able to start their transitions in the near future, and many more will join us in creating the New Earth. But the good news for us is that we can now direct more of our energy and light into being what we truly are on the Physical level- Masters of Love and Peace. So, soon you will begin to truly experience the healing powers of the Crystal Children as Bringers of Peace and Love. We will speak to you of this next month. Thank you for being with us and working with us!

Blessings of Peace to You All!

It has been noted that there is a considerable increase in the number of children being diagnosed as Autistic and Asperger's Syndrome. There are theories that it is due to a negative reaction to the immunizations required today. Others believe it could be the increase in toxic substances and environmental causes. Many have prophesized that the new children coming to this planet have unique characteristics to aid planet Earth in its ascension process. These children have been termed the Crystal Children.

What are the major attributes of the Crystal's?

The name "Crystal Children" is derived from the chakra that these children mainly operate from which is the Crown Chakra. The color associated with the Crown Chakra is a pure white or deep purple and its function is the direct connection to Source. Therefore, the Crystal children are completely aligned with God. This explains the fact that the Crystal's are highly evolved spiritual beings caught between the third, fourth and fifth dimension. The ones labeled autistic are hovering in the fourth and fifth dimension and can hardly relate to the third. The Crystal children, the same as the Indigo's, are highly intuitive and psychic. However, the Crystal's take it one step further by possessing an innate ability for telepathy, performing hands on miracle healings, and telekinetics. Their spiritual abilities and development is on a deep and profound level. Is it any wonder they cannot relate to us mere humans?!

You will know you have met a Crystal child just by looking into their large, dreamy, intense eyes. They emit a calm, loving presence. You can sense as they read you energetically and size you up. If you pass their authenticity test, you will begin to feel them slowly warm up to you. Don't rush it. If you come on too strong they will immediately retreat. If you sit back and wait, you will feel them open up to you and can enjoy their lovely, jovial personality. It makes you feel warm inside just being in a Crystal child's presence. People, especially other children, will flock to them to bask in their goodness.

The Crystal children are wired in a unique way. They are so sensitive that they cannot assimilate fully into the dense harsh world of our planet and society. Many times they become burdened and over stimulated by loud noises or angry words. They will retreat further into themselves if they perceive that the world is unsafe. They have enhanced senses, utilizing all of them and may develop strong sensitivities to foods, sounds, dense energies, environmental stimulations, chemicals and scents. If they are out of balance or if their aura is too strong they have a tendency to short out electric equipment such as computers, cell phones, radios, lights, etc. They absorb energies of those around them. It is necessary for them to learn psychic hygiene at a young age.

In addition, the Crystal children are very creative, loving, and affectionate and filled with wonder and awe. They have a million questions and tons of new ways of doing things in various and innovative ways. If the children feel you are authentic, loving, kind and filled with integrity they will open up to you like a flower. They will welcome you into their private world and share their uniqueness with you. The Crystal's become very interested in specific topics of interest and will learn as much information as they can and will eagerly discuss it with anyone interested.

However, if a Crystal finds you or their environment to be too harsh or negative they will rebel in a harsh and furious way. They will either retreat into their private world or become violent and volatile. Finding ways to keep them balanced and content is extremely important. They have a tendency to relate better to adults or children older than they are, rather than to their peers. They will connect with peers if they find others on the same frequency.

The Indigo child's mission is to shake things up with their refusal to conform to societies standards by being outspoken and rebellious so that the old system is destroyed and a new Earth is created filled with peace, balance and integrity The Crystal's purpose on the planet is to realign balance to our planet. They are directly aligned with Source that they can tap into the Divine resources.

Our role as parent, teacher or role model is to create an environment where these children can flourish. Being a public school teacher I must admit that it is a challenge to understand children that seem so removed from the norm. We are being challenged to change our perceptions of our role as educators. Teachers needed to be educated to the needs of our new children. The children require the sacredness to be their authentic selves and have room to explore their essence.

We can change the world only one soul at a time. The change begins with us. We, as parents and educators need to start with ourselves. We need to clear out the clutter and chaos from our heads and hearts. These children look directly inside of us and can tap into what is there. The children have amazing healing abilities and communication techniques, which are authentic only if they are directly from heart to heart or mind to mind.

We can in turn heal our children of imbalances by going directly to Source and linking our hearts to be healed and filled with Divine love and light. We then take the love that is filling our essence and transmit it to our children. It is the perfect gift to our children and to all of life.

If you are feeling disconnected from your child strengthen your connection with Source through prayer (where you speak to God) and meditation (where you listen to God). During meditation go directly into your heart and call on the name of Source, ask for all the places and spaces in and around you to be filled with Divine love and light and for your energy centers to be repaired, aligned, balanced and strengthened. Feel as the light and love flow freely into your being. Once your connection is strengthened with Source and you are aligned, begin by going into your heart; listen to what it is telling you. Travel up through your heart to your higher self, then travel across to your child's higher self and continue up to Source, bring it back down into your heart. Begin by communicating directly from your higher selves to your child's higher self where a true connection can be aligned and you may truly do the work of your higher purpose.

The Crystal child has an important role on this planet in creating a New Earth. You, as parent and/or educator have a Divine role as well, you were chosen to guide these children into adulthood. Through compassion, understanding, love and authentic bonding you will fulfill your mission as an Angel on Earth.

The Illumaniti's Plan for the Starseeds

2009-07-23T22:47:00.000-07:00

This is the First half of 2012 part 4 The Illumanti's (ill-um-naughtys) Plan for the Starseeds There was something I wanted to share in this particular part of my 2012 video series in which I talk about the hollow earth and its core. It became apparent to me that I needed to share this first then the hollow earth and its core could make more sense to people. I was thinking that maybe as we begin our journey to the hollow earth that it represents layers of things that we must unearth. For so long we have looked outside us and this is where we now find our selves now. There is something pressing me about the starseeds and the illumantis plan to use them for their agenda. I am not sure how going to find the right words for this.It is not a simple thing to share but here I go. I came across some information on my second trip to Sedona that has rocked me a bit. I came across some kind of encyclopaedia from a secret base on all things paranormal this was from the secret service of classifications of the bizarre, how they interpret it, they have a better understanding because they horde the information. It explained what each project meant i.e. Bluebook, Montauk, Monarch and so forth. I did not really look at those though as it was not so much important to me. It was interesting to see that they knew of all the star beings making contact with people. What was more interesting was their definition of how they saw them, how they classified them, what was most important to them, how they could manipulate the contact to work for their advantage, how they could intercept and eaves drop on the contact and channeled insight, how they could keep tabs, and how they could duplicate the vibe and pose as them. They were most interested in whether the beings in contact with humans were service to self or service to others. I did not realize at the time but it was a major clue and kept being highlighted in my brain of all the things I saw in this. Then I came across who is behind all this - the puppet masters pulling all the strings on the so seeming dark side. They had revealed their plan. This book was only meant for certain people to see, that is for sure. Now what if this book is not true I thought. it does not matter. I have to talk about it because if it is then it must be known. It mentions how they understand time travel and how they have created a window of time that will allow them to pull off this plan. The term window of time is interesting because in the Anastasia books, she mentions about having to carry humanity across the dark window of time.

In my last video, I spoke about how in order to be free from the dark one must understand them to even put yourself in their shoes to think like them. Hmm, if I was the Illuminati and this was my agenda and addiction, how would I go about it? This is a scary thought but all detectives will tell you, you have to do this in order to fully understand. So few dare to do this, after all, how does one make sense out of crazy? Yet in this world we know that one can make loads of dollars and cents off of the senseless and innocents of others. So where is all this leading? War marshals know that all they need to do to take out their enemy is plant certain ideas of doubt and confusion, lack of trust is to give more to one and less to another and then all you do is sit back and watch their targets destroy themselves. Just watch the old Twilight Zone episode called The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street to further grasp how this works. It might even be on YouTube. As you see, they have got the people to do all the work. The same thing is being done to us now. Like how we jump on or kill each other if someone tries to share what is really going on and challenge the zombie moron sandwich program. We learn to do this early on in school picking on anyone who is different. What I have learned about the Illuminati is they focus more on people and beings who are more into Service-to-Others rather than Service-to-Self, as the STO has more potential and ability to influence and manipulate many others. Actually this is what Hitler was, he was convinced that he was the good guy and he was helping the world rid it of evil, and he got others to believe it too. Many think Hitler was evil but I feel that he was a puppet. What about the people who funded and encouraged Hitler? How come they are never mentioned? So man is losing faith in their leaders. They are aware of the puppet masters but still cannot recognize them. Have we ever asked where our marionette strings are coming from, who is pulling them? What are they subtly influencing us to do that we are not aware of? As man waits to be saved, like slaves, we have been taught to put our faith in leaders, educated people and beings in the sky outside of us. Are they good or evil people ask? The light workers work hard to have others not fear the star beings. Do you not think that the Illuminati are very aware of this and is planning to use this as well? They are very aware of the starlight children; they know they will start to be coming out of the closet. From my own personal experiences of working with people being abducted, it seems to be of people who are having contact with star beings whether they are aware of it or not. The Illuminati is able to track this, then abduct them and disguise themselves in alien form as they do all kinds of experiments to them in their underground bases. Sometimes people manage to see past the veil and see them in human form, humans doing this disguise as ETs. They do this in hopes to override the positive contact, to fear but also to learn more about the star children. Why? Why, why it is very much like the child that says why, but why; and keeps asking till they either piss off the person they are asking or stumble upon the core issue but then gets glazed over with some excuse like oh thats just how it is. Tangent, ok back to the why the star children. They are the ones who are the pioneers who will stop them, yet they also hold the energy which is the ideal illuminati crop, the exact same thing that very little children have which is why they are heavily targeted on in their twisted rituals of mass ugly. It is 12:12 right now, I am seeing that way more now than 11:11. I think 12:12 is the next step up. I hope this is all making sense this is incredibly difficult to write. In a way, the Illuminati knows we would feel alone, needing to share and struggle, to make all this public and bring other like minds together - we are helping them bring out everyone as technology is where everything and everyone is monitored. This way they do not need to round us up at all. When this hit me in Sedona I felt like I was kicked in the gut and had the wind knocked out of me. No, it cannot be. Is this why they are not going after certain people because we are too scattered so they have us bring ourselves together for them? If that is so then what do I do now? So many of us think we are helping but can end up doing just the opposite. How does one know for sure? It was such a scary place to be in guys. I wanted to just stop doing everything and just disappear from others lives. But this is fear. Should I allow myself to not do something because of fear, is that not terrorism? If I do do something then that could help them to. Ok, great, a catch 22.

Now what kind of parent would we be if we bailed our child out of every mess? Don't our parents say, well dear, I love you but you got yourself into this mess, you must get yourself out of it; you must claim responsibility and clean it up? If someone or something comes and saves us whether it be deity or alien, even politicians - how do we learn? Is that not a great disservice and taking everything we have ever gone through here on earth all in vain a total waste? That is like cheating on your final exam, having your parent sit in and do it for you. I truly feel that god does not answer our prayers the way we would like because he sent us - we are our answer and his answers. He gave us everything we would need - 2 hands, 1 brain, 1 heart; it is up to us what we chose to do with it. God has more faith in us than we do in him it seems. God knows we can do it, so why cant we see that? Homer Simpson says that alcohol is the cause and solution to all of life's problems. I have my own spin on that - we are the cause and solution to all of life's problems. In the document that I found in Sedona the illuminti say that their plan must be well underway by 2012, why, because 2012 is when they have to leave or heal. Could 2012 be the date that these ill intent beings are scheduled to leave? Will they try to take as many as they can with them? Do we feel like we are running out of time because in truth it is not us running out of time but them, and they have integrated out their desires with ours? That we are taught to care about their agenda and that their end should also be our end too? So many are conditioned to fight and defend the system to take down anyone who threatens it. This is the prisoner who snitches on the other prisoners who are planning on making a break for it and come back to free the others. Only because the snitch is comfortable in prison and believes there is no hope so why bother to try. Ok, but some do not see that and they go on the trip, they leave their Geppetto to go with the circus cronies who play on our ideals and expectations only to find it is a trap and they turn into jackasses who will be sold for slavery and made into various things. I am just trying to think of the con beings that will come - how tantalizing will their tails and promises be, what neat tricks called miracles will be done to get people to come with the aliens posed as the so seeming savior. It reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode called To Serve Humans. Here the people are completely trapped on this other world and become clone drones appetizers, kept in fear to feed their addiction. Could this be the birth of the grays and how it started with them? This could be also referring to people being taken to this other so called Earth, how many of you have heard about that? Now just think about that for a minute it is saying that some will make it, others will not. But are we not all one and what happens to one of us happens to all of us? Case and point what is occurring on earth. If this happens then it fragments us again. I think this is another trap a rather clever and subtle trap at that. To quote Lilo and Stitch Ohana means family and family means no one gets left behind. How many future probabilities have we done this that we are having to deal with all these various beings that are fragmented versions of us mirroring very important things to us? So we do not repeat the same thing again that we fragment ourselves yet again.

Remedy for Midlife Discontent

2009-07-02T03:57:00.000-07:00

by Christiane Northrup

Recently, I received a question from a craniosacral practitioner. She told me that many of her mid-life female patients are discovering that they are unhappy with their marriages. They are intelligent, kind, devoted wives and moms, yet are disconnected from their husbands. She asked what I would recommend to help them sort out their feelings. I have a lot to suggest.

First, though, it’s important to understand the reason this is happening at midlife—women are heeding their inner wisdom and wondering “What about me?” We women are socialized to identify with our roles as wives and mothers. And, depending upon what you saw your mother do, you may well engage in behavior that puts your own authentic needs last while you go about the business of tending to your husband and children.

If you’re to remain healthy, this pattern has to change. My advice is this: Focus on yourself and your own needs (what a novel idea!).

To do that, go to Marshall Rosenberg’s Web site on non-violent communication and look at the list of human needs. These include reassurance, touch, rest, sleep, self-development, pleasure, understanding, validation, etc. Many women have been shamed by their families for even having needs, let alone asking that these needs be met. A harried stay-at-home mom needs to learn to say, “I’ve had a very long day. I need 30 minutes alone to take a bath. Please assist me by doing the dishes and feeding the dog so that I can take the time I need.” Notice there is no pleading, no whining, no justification. Just a straightforward articulation of a need.

Here’s another important point: Most women have been socialized to put their husband’s needs and desires ahead of their own. Worse still, we’ve been socialized to believe that a man can fulfill you (as in Jerry Maguire—“You complete me”). This is a myth, pure and simple. Women need good friends to hang out with, to talk with, to travel with, to have fun with. Your husband simply cannot do for you what girlfriends can.

Rather than think that you need a new man, you need to become a new woman. You need to put your own fulfillment and pleasure first on the list. Yes—we get enormous pleasure from providing for others. But you have to make sure this doesn’t disintegrate into self-sacrifice, which inevitably leads to resentment.

The whole reason I wrote The Secret Pleasures of Menopause and The Secret Pleasures of Menopause Playbook was to help women learn how to put fun and pleasure back into their lives. Believe me, the vast majority of husbands would just love it if you became playful and happy instead of waiting for them to make the first move. Here’s the bottom line: A turned on woman is what turns on a man. And when I say “turned on,” I mean turned on to life, not just to sex.

You can rejuvenate a marriage by first learning how to have a love affair with yourself. One of the best resources I’ve found in this regard are the books Mama Gena’s School of Womanly Arts 101 and Mama Gena’s Owner’s and Operator’s Guide to Men, both written by Regena Thomashauer, the founder of the Mama Gena’s School of Womanly Arts in New York City. I have seen many marriages completely rejuvenated when a woman learns how to embrace pleasure as a way to take the world by the tail. Trust me. This stuff works!

p.s. For any woman who is married to an abusive or completely self-absorbed man who doesn’t respect her, it’s sometimes best for her to cut her losses and get out, if possible.

FIXING THINGS THROUGH THOUGHT

2009-06-16T05:30:00.000-07:00

by Gina Lake

A lot of our thinking is an attempt to fix things that can’t be “fixed.” For example, we might try to fix the past by trying to do it over mentally—imagining other ways it could have or “should” have gone—or trying to defend what we did by thinking about it. We replay the past as if doing that can change it. The mind tries to fix what it cannot fix. Or we might try to plan something down to every detail, as if doing that can cause it to go the way we imagine or want it to. Although some planning has value, the mind overdoes it, as it is often driven by needless worries and fears. It plays “what if” scenarios and tries, through thought, to avoid the messiness and unpredictability of life, however impossible that may be.

The mind also spends a lot of time trying to fix things that don’t even need fixing. It imagines, or anticipates, problems where none exist and, therefore, spends precious energy trying to fix something mentally that doesn’t even need fixing. For example, it might imagine that you will fall on your face while speaking to a group when you don’t even have a plan to speak to a group or when you have never had this difficulty before. Even if you’ve had this difficulty before, thoughts about this right now can’t change what has happened or will happen. This is called needless worrying.

The trouble with trying to fix something by thinking about it is that it doesn’t work! We can’t change the past by thinking about it (although we can still learn from it), and we can’t correct something that isn’t happening right now. We can only “fix,” or affect, real life—what is happening right now—not some mental idea of life. We can think and imagine all we want, but it won’t change the past or affect the present in the way we might like.

The other problem with trying to fix something by thinking about it, besides the fact that this doesn’t work, is that these kinds of thoughts do affect our experience of the present and our experience of life when we are thinking them because they take us out of real life and put us into our own made-up mental world, which for many people is full of worry, fear, and other negativity. We try to manage and control life through thought, and we are programmed to believe we can do this, but the truth is that we can’t. Being able to see this is your ticket out of hell and to freedom and to seeing that life is already just fine the way it is and that life—including you—never needed fixing.

The egoic mind imagines a problem and then imagines a solution. And when we get caught up in this, we feel like we have a problem that must be solved before we can be happy. But it has all been imagined! When you drop out of involvement with these thoughts and into the simple experience of this moment, you discover that this moment is fine the way it is—and you are fine the way you are. Life never had to be any different, and either do you. You can be the “imperfect” human that you are. In fact, you weren’t designed to be anything other than the human being you are. You are doing this human being thing perfectly!

The beauty is that we are all evolving toward being more loving and more aligned with the spiritual being that we actually are, whether we realize that or not. So, you can just relax and enjoy the ride that life is taking you on. All it asks is that you choose love over fear and hatred, and being positive over being negative. Fortunately, we all learn that being loving and positive is the only sane choice, since the other possibility only leads to suffering. So, we can’t really make a mistake (and, therefore, nothing needs fixing) because we are all being swept along toward seeing the truth about ourselves and about life—that we are all One and it is all good!

What is Shamanic Healing?

2009-06-16T05:16:00.000-07:00

Shamanic healing is a spiritual and medical practice based upon the belief that all healing includes a spiritual dimension. ‘Shaman’s enter altered states of consciousness to communicate with other realms of reality. The ‘Shamans’ journey is to help the client to rediscover their connection to nature and spirit.

Shamanic medicine is a tradition dating back 25,000 years. The ’Shaman’ is responsible for the health of those who see him or her. This is a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual balance. Shaman’s are the mediators between the physical and the spirit world. The spiritual healing methods of Shamanic are now receiving increased and significant attention in today’s society, as Shamanic healing affects the energy field of a person.

To better understand how a ‘Shaman’ heals it is important to understand some of the basic concepts of what Shamanism is. It is a specific set of methodologies for accessing the spirit or energy field of anything or anyone. The ‘Shaman’ heals by working unseen/inner/spiritual reality to crate changes, which in turn crate changes in see/physical/everyday reality.

The essential perspective of the ‘Shaman’ is:
1. Everything is alive. Everything has spirit and awareness.
2. Energy and matter are the same. Everything is vibration. Everything that exists is an energy system within a greater energy system.
3. Everything that exists is connected to everything else in a web of energy or life.
4. Unseen/inner/spiritual reality affects visible reality.

Working within this system of perceptions, the ‘Shaman’ strives to create balance and harmony of the spirit. This can be focused on the client or a group. This also can be applied to anything that exists.

What distinguishes the ‘Shaman’ from other types of healer are his methods. The journeying, or Shamanic state of consciousness, allows the ‘Shaman’ to send out their consciousness to obtain information from the spirit world. This information is retrieved and used for further insight or healing. Example: a ‘Shaman’ might assist in healing a broken bone by opening up an increased energy flow to that area, or help a person half from an emotional depression by restoring energy lost as a result of a traumatic event.

By using Shamanic practices a wide spectrum of healing is possible. Traditional ‘Shaman’ healing is done by journeying to the bat of a drum or rattle to visit a teacher/spirit/totem for guidance or wisdom. Shamanic healing takes place in many forms, depending on what the spirits recommend. This can include plant and mineral spirit medicine, through ancestral memories, soul retrieval; extraction and soul escorting.

‘Shaman’s employ many different healing methods besides those acquired during journeying, these are herbs, visualization, and hands on, use of aroma, gemstones, and basic psychology. The ‘Shaman’ will use their lore of nature along with the ability they have to read auras and apply the knowledge of chakras to heal. The ‘Shaman’ understand the necessity to use both nature and spirit in healing. All of the above used in any combination may be used, along with journeying to heal. All depends upon the situation.

In summary, the practices of Shamanism involves making conscious connection with that which is spirit or life that which is sacred — all things. Healing can be accomplished through this connection by working directly to create greater balance and harmony of energy and spirit, and bringing back to the ordinary world awareness from the spirit world.

To do healing works of any kind a ‘Shaman’ will typically journey to the spiritual cause of problems. A particular problem of everyday life might have very different spiritual causes. In other words, illness that looks exactly the same symptomatically in two different people might be the manifestation of different underlying situations. In one person, depression and fatigue can be caused from a spiritual injury to the heart; while the same symptoms might be caused from excessive worry in another.
And once the ‘Shaman’ gains understanding, he/she has a variety of ways of working the client with the desire of healing.

An Exercise to Share Energy between Humans, Dolphins, and Sirius

2009-05-28T02:33:00.000-07:00

Sasha & Atun through Lyssa Royal
September 1, 2001 - Ixtapa, Mexico

Sasha: Greetings. This is Sasha. Perhaps you have heard of us through the channel. We are one of the primary beings that work through her [Lyssa]. We are female, from the star system you call the Pleiades. We are here to facilitate another energy that will interact with all of you this night. But first, we wish to tell you a little story. We are going to simplify it greatly. We do not want to get lost in the details. This will assist in setting the stage for the information to follow.

During the ancient days on your world, when those you call "the Gods" walked the planet freely, there was a lot of conflict. We are speaking of the days when your species, Homo sapiens, was being developed. Your extraterrestrial forefathers, of course, were primary responsible for the development of Homo sapiens. There was a period in which your primary forefathers did not wish for you to achieve sentience or consciousness. During this time, there were other beings from the stars that silently worked for the liberation of the new human species. This was the original template that originally created the idea of slaves and masters.

We know that you all know that dramas play out on many different levels. Though there may be a drama on one level there is always a counterpart on another level. Simply put, the drama always has a purpose. So if you look at the drama of humankind in its early development, it is easy to get caught in the idea that there are "good guys" and "bad guys." But if we spiral that to another level, let us speak of it from there.

When a species is born, it cannot be handed its freedom. The awareness and consciousness of freedom must be awakened from inside. So often new species get caught in dramas to provide a way for them to then raise themselves to an awareness of their own freedom. So, you see, there is always a reason for drama.

During this early time when man was learning to become free (but struggling with it), there were a group of entities from the stars who agreed to be guardians for mankind. Though these beings came from different star systems, their primary orientation was from Sirius. They began to interact with your planet on many levels. One was directly through humanoid form [as beings from other worlds]. Another was through incarnation on Earth into the human species. These became the leaders and heroes of ancient times. But also, these beings chose to incarnate in other forms on your world -- bodies that could hold a high frequency.

These bodies were those of the cetaceans. The consciousness of the cetacean has a very long lineage. The primary reason for its initial existence was not only as a guide (not just for humankind), but also as a frequency that would uplift the whole planet. So it is quite literal when you hear the dolphins say that they have been waiting for you. Though "waiting" for you is not understood by them in the same way as it is understood by you. They are not impatient. They simply swim the dreamtime with you, in which time and space does not exist in the same way. On a subconscious level, they continually remind you of your True Self and your divine spark. They also remind you of your freedom. The irony of course, is that many human connections with dolphins are made through those that are captive.

The reminder of captivity allows humans to touch their feelings of captivity and thus turn it around to help them achieve their freedom. The higher aspect, the group soul, of the dolphins (as it is more connected to Sirius than Earth), is more magnificent than you can imagine in your heart and mind.

For those of you who wish to participate in the following exercise, please sit comfortably and allow the representation of the Sirius energy to blend with your group field. I will assist in balancing the frequency, because it can be quite an electrical energy. We will bring this entity through the channel's body. Then from her, it shall be dispersed into the group field. In this way, it will be less of a shock. Is this something you will allow? [Yes.]

Sit comfortably. We will bring this energy through and he will guide you further. [Silence as the energy shifts.]

Atun: Our arms embrace you through infinity. You may call this energy "Atun." You may picture the form of light that I embody as follows: We give this to you only to help you bring in the frequency. We are approximately 16 feet tall in your measurement. We have long, thin arms and long, thin legs. We have a large elongated head, with a blue/white energy field with a tinge of gold. This is our celestial image. It is from this energy that cetaceans were born upon your world. And yet, we are simply just another form of you. We do not differentiate.

Take a moment now to breathe into your hearts the celestial energy that we represent. You may simply picture it as the star Sirius. The picture is not important, it is just for assistance. Breathe this celestial energy into your heart through the top of your head. When you breathe it out through your heart, send it to the dolphins. They will breathe it back to us, creating a triad between us so that our breath echoes through eternity. Forever joined we are.

Take a moment to feel the triad between us. We come not to share information but to share experience - to experience another aspect of ourselves. Let us show you another aspect of you. We are told that in a moment, your group is going to engage in an outdoor activity. For that activity, we ask that you continue to connect with this triad energy. There will be much electrical energy. If it is too much for you, you may ask your Higher Self for adjustment. We will be embracing your group, and your guides and masters will be present as well. This experience is merely for all of us to enjoy the blending. Continue, even if it is just in the back of your mind, breathing the triad between Sirius, you, and the dolphins. Breathe in our energy from the cosmos and breathe it to the dolphins. The dolphins will return it to us. The cycle will continue.

Now we ask you to hold this energy as you silently walk outside and seat yourself comfortably in a place where you will be protected from the environment. We ask you to walk quietly because as you are leaving we will be disconnecting from the channel so she can join you outside. When you go outside and sit, remember your reverence exercises that you have been doing. Continue to breathe the triad between you, Sirius, and the dolphins. Simply, open yourself to your celestial aspects. There is no need to "work" tonight. Let yourself receive. Receive more of the beauty that you are.

With deep gratitude, we thank you for the invitation this night. And you may quietly go to take your seat outside by the sea and continue. Open yourself to the cosmos.

Bo, a Baby Dolphin

2009-05-28T02:30:00.000-07:00

Hello Children,

I’m a dolphin. I’m only four months old. I live in the waters surrounding a beautiful island called Bimini in the Bahamas. I have a couple of helpful hints for you that just may just give you enough courage to start living your lives like you would if you weren’t so afraid.

Look, I know it’s hard to be a child. I’m only four months old. A four month old dolphin is kind of like a six year old human child. I’m very smart and I’m also very stubborn. I have to swim by my mother’s side and sometimes that rule that makes me really mad

I have a twin sister named Fiona. She’s a very good sister. She does everything my mother asks her to do and she never complains. She never even complains about staying by our mother’s side!

I’ve got a bad temper. Even though I’m only four months old I think I should be able to live my life the way I want to. I sometimes feel like I’m in prison. I have to follow all the rules that my mother asks me to follow and I have to stay close to my pod. A pod, by the way, is a dolphin community.

I just wish all the adults in my pod would listen to me. I’ve got really good ideas. I really do know more than most four month old dolphins. I know more than Fiona. She really has a lot to learn.

At least Fiona loves me enough to listen to my ideas. Fiona and I have very long conversations about angels and what life would be like if all dolphins listened to their angels.

My friend Bly, who is a very wise adult dolphin, said many of you, who are reading this letter, have problems like I do with life. She said that many you have been called stubborn, angry and willful. Bly said some of you get in trouble with your teachers. She told me that often your parents have no idea how to raise you because you are so different from other children.

Bly said you are all very, very smart. She said most of you have every intention of being good but something goes on in your mind that makes you say things like “I don’t believe you! or “You’re wrong!” or “You don’t know what’s best for me!” You say those things when adults ask you to do things that don’t feel helpful. In other words you don’t believe that following their instructions is going to teach you anything new.

Bly said you are just like me. You always want to learn something different. She said your parents ask you to do things like eat your dinner, go to bed on time, do your homework, listen to your teachers, spell correctly, talk politely to people you don’t like, keep on studying for your test even when you know all the answers, sit up straight, make your bed, clean your room, and wear clean clothes. If you don’t do those things your parents ask you to do them until you do. It’s so boring isn’t it!!

But you know what else Bly told me? She said most of the time adults really do know what’s best for you. I, for example, really must swim by my mother’s side. She doesn’t make me swim by her side because she’s mean. She makes me swim by my side to keep me safe.

Bu gets hurt by a shark and learns about Courage

I’m very small. I don’t know much about keeping myself away from sharks. Sharks eat dolphins. I saw my friend get hurt by a shark. My friend was about twelve months old. A one year old dolphin is like an eight year old human child. My friend, whose name is Bu, is just like me. He’s very independent and he’s very smart. He goes off on adventures all by himself.

One day Bu’s mother said he could swim one mile away from the pod. She said he should never swim further than that because he could get into trouble with sharks. Instead of swimming one mile he swam five miles. He found a big school of fish so he began to catch them and eat them. Bu forgot that his mother had told him to swim one mile and immediately come back because the pod was about to swim to a different area of the ocean to hunt.

When Bu didn’t return on time his mother got very worried. She sent a search party out to find him. Five dolphins found Bu but it was almost too late. A big shark called a hammerhead shark bumped into Bu and bit him in the side. The five adult dolphins chased the shark away but the shark turned around and swam back towards them. They took charge and they really scared the shark. They didn’t fight the shark. They didn’t chase it and they didn’t get angry. The dolphins sent the shark a navy blue color I call Courage. They sent the navy blue color from their hearts.

The navy blue color is called a Ray of Joy. Joy is what you feel when you are so happy that you get up and laugh and play and run around. Joy is what you feel when you are getting along with your family and you’ve just been given permission to do something new.

There are about twenty Rays of Joy. Courage is one of my favorites. My friend Bly sends me the Ray of Courage when I’m afraid I’ve been badly behaved. Whenever she gives me Courage I become brave enough to do whatever it is I’ve been asked to do.

You know how it goes. Sometimes you are a bit afraid to behave because if you do your parents or teachers and other adults won’t realize how very definitely you have another way of looking at life. You are afraid they won’t have any reason to listen to your opinion.

When Bly gives me Courage I feel very joyful and I say to myself “I’m very important and I’ve got very strong opinions. I’ll ask that adult to please sit down and talk to me later. Right now I’ll do as I’ve been told. I do know that even children as smart and full of great ideas as me have a lot to learn from adults.”

You know what! The more I behave and do what my mother and Bly ask me to do the more freedom they give me. So ask your parents to give you Courage if they notice you are upset about something they’ve asked you to do. If you feel really grumpy about being asked to do something, give yourself the Ray of Courage. Just imagine yourself being surrounded by navy blue.

Calm, focused, centered dolphins scare sharks

You are probably wondering why the shark swam away when the five adults sent him Courage. Sharks don’t like to receive Rays of Joy from dolphins. The Ray of Courage really makes them anxious. Sharks want dolphins to be afraid of them. A fearful dolphin is a weak dolphin and sharks want dolphins to be weak.

Before adult dolphins send a shark the navy blue ray of Courage they give one another Courage. They become very calm and all their fear of the shark disappears. They became focused. They focus clearly on the shark’s behaviors. They also become centered. When you are centered you are very aware of your body and you move your body efficiently. No shark wants to mess with a calm, focused, centered dolphin.

Bly said some of you put up with mean children and sometimes mean adults called bullies. If a bully ever bothers you send the bully Courage but don’t forget surround yourself in Courage first. That bully might get worried and walk away.

Bo hits his head, heals himself and learns about The Blessing

I want to tell you another story. This is a story about my first attempt to leave my mother’s side. I was only one month old. I was only about three feet long. I was one of four new born dolphins in my pod. One, of course, was Fiona. The others were named Skip and Grip. Fiona, Skip, Grip and I loved to take turns swimming around in circles. Our mothers always supervised us when we played.

I love swimming in circles! One day I got a bit bored so I left my mother’s side and began swimming in circles around her. Everybody else in my pod was relaxing. I kept swimming faster and faster.

A terrible thing happened. I got dizzy and bumped into my mother. I really hurt myself. I hit my head so hard that I got what you call a headache and I began to cry.

My mother asked for help. She said very loudly “My son Bo just hit his head and he’s very upset. Will you please help me help him feel better.” Everybody in the pod surrounded me and sent me a beautiful forest green ray we call The Blessing.

I was really afraid I was going to die. I had never had a headache before and I thought my head was going to blow up. But the minute everyone gave me The Blessing I began to calm down. Then I began to notice how my head really felt. There was one spot over my right eye that hurt. I felt better when I realized that was the only painful spot.

I heard a very loud voice telling me to fill that spot above my eye with the forest green color of The Blessing. That voice was the voice of my friend Bim. Bim’s one of my angels.

Bim is a very big whale who lives in another place called Vu where dolphins and whales live. Dolphins and whales who live on Vu are different. They don’t really have bodies. They don’t eat and they don’t hunt. Dolphins and whales who live on Vu are never afraid.

Bim and his friends are what you call angels. Angels help dolphins and people learn to live happy lives.

Bim’s my best friend. I really think he knows me better than my mother. He doesn’t ever get angry with me even when I’m badly behaved. I really trust Bim. I know he loves me very much.

I filled that painful place above my right eye with the forest green color of The Blessing and the pain went away. I became very centered. When you are centered you are very aware of your body. You notice how your body feels.

I began to move my head back and forth and up and down. I felt nothing but happiness when I realized I wasn’t going to die.

I told everyone in my pod that I felt better. I thanked them very much for their help. I also thanked Bim for his help.

My mother gave me a big kiss and so did Bly. They said they were very proud of me. They said that I proved to every other young dolphin that even the very young can heal their own bodies and take care of their biggest problems.

All young dolphins and children really need to do is learn to listen to their angels. Bly said you all have angels and many of you are good at listening to your angels.

Bly said that sometimes there are problems between you and your parents because your parents have forgotten how to listen to their own angels. You have to realize that parents have a lot of responsibility. The biggest job in the whole wide world is taking care of young children and young dolphins. Parents must work very hard to provide us with food. They also must keep us safe. All that hard work can make a parent tired. Sometimes when you are tired you are so grumpy that you don’t have enough patience to listen to your angels.

Bo says he’s sorry for being self centered and feels very loved

I’m listening to Bim more carefully. Bim helps me remember to be kind to others. Sometimes I get so self-centered that I forget about everyone else in my pod. I even forget about Fiona. When you are self-centered all you care about is yourself.

Sometimes all I feel like doing is swimming in circles and leaping out of the water. Bim says that playing hard is very good for me but there are times when playing isn’t a good idea. I was being self-centered when I swam in circles and hurt my head so badly. Everyone in the pod was relaxing. Dolphins need to relax. They love to relax and breathe very deeply.

I learned from that very bad experience of hurting my head. I learned that being self-centered and playing when I was supposed to be relaxing was very hard on not only me but everyone in my pod. I did something very grown up when I realized how my self-centered behavior of playing during the time for relaxation upset everyone else. Nobody complained about my behavior but I knew I disturbed their rest. Dolphins need to rest so they have enough energy to catch fish.

I said I was sorry to everyone in my pod. I gathered them all around me and said “I’m very sorry I disturbed your rest. I was very self-centered.” Every single pod member came up to me and gave me a big kiss. I began to cry and told them I felt loved.

Then everybody began to cry. We weren’t crying because we were sad. We were crying because we felt so much love for one another.

I noticed that everyone had beautiful love - light coming from their hearts. There are many kinds of love - light. This love - light was a warm red color. We were surrounded in this red love - light that was very similar to the red of a big red delicious apple.

Bim says being still and breathing deeply helps you listen

Bim started to talk to all of us and we all listened very carefully. We all breathed deeply and kept very still.

Bim said “You’ve taken a big step. You’ve learned that being still and breathing deeply helps you listen to one another. When you listen you learn a great deal about love.”

Then Bim told the grownups that they had learned a great deal about helping the very young learn to love. Bim said that by giving me nothing but love, when I hurt my head, the adults helped me learn how my self-centered behavior affected them.

Bim said that I felt so much better after being given The Blessing that I was able to listen to Bim more carefully. As a result I helped myself feel even better. I also realized that I wasn’t being kind to everyone else by playing when I wasn’t supposed to.

Bly said that you have the same ability that I do to give yourself and others the lovely navy blue Ray of Courage and the soothing Ray of The Blessing. She said that you can quietly breathe deeply and listen to your angels. She said that you can also learn to be kind and considerate to everyone in your world.

Bly said you are very smart, gifted children. She said you are going to be special leaders when you grow up. She said some of you will be very great parents who lead your own children the way my mother and Bly have led me. She said some of you will become community leaders and even political leaders. Some of you will be wonderful teachers. Bly said you are going to change the world!!

Blue Dolphin

2009-05-28T02:25:00.000-07:00

Blue Dolphin Essences have a history that Avatar Sathya Sai Baba is going to explain. There are Lemurian myths about mer people and dolphins living their lives among Lemurian human beings. The mer people and the dolphins came from a place called Sirius B. Sirius B is a 5th dimensional place of loving, higher consciousness. It is an ocean planet and in the oceans live mer people who are part human and part dolphin. The oceans are also populated by many species of dolphins and whales.

There is a lovely red aura surrounding Sirius B. The red auric layer is surrounded by a blue layer. The red aura represents the red ray of unconditional love. The blue auric layer is the color of the lamp of pure love.

All of the residents of Sirius B are ascended. The mer people and cetaceans of Sirius B know how to love themselves as they love another.

There is a kind of a hierarchy among the residents of Sirius B. There are avatars on Sirius just like there are on earth.

There are avatar dolphins and avatar whales on Sirius B. The avatar dolphins are known as blue dolphins. These blue dolphins have a blue aura representing the lamp of pure love. Some of these Blue Dolphins came to earth to instruct early Lemurians on how to love themselves as they love another.

Lemurians came from many lineages. All Lemurians were influenced by the love teachings of Sirius B's dolphins and mer people. The blue dolphins, however, became the spiritual leaders of Lemuria's humans.

Some blue dolphins incarnated as human beings. All of earth's human avatars originally came to earth as blue dolphin's from Sirius. Jesus and Sai Baba began existence on Sirius B and were among the first blue dolphins to become incarnated as human beings. Jesus' mother Mary was a blue dolphin from Sirius B.

Just keep in mind the quality of being able to handle life's challenges by learning about self love. This is earth's blue dolphin instruction being carried into the New Age.

If you feel a memory of your own early learning about self love, perhaps you originated on Sirius B as a cetacean. It may be you were an early Lemurian who learned from these cetacean instructors from Sirius.

Perhaps you know the lesson of loving yourself as you love another. If so let that learning come back into your consciousness. Contemplate on your past and have a lovely time remembering your lessons in loving yourself as you love another.

The Holy Presence
by Bly, a dolphin

The Blue Dolphin Consciousness of love is what many of you call the Holy Presence. The lilting, magical Holy Presence you may have experienced if you have visited us in our watery home has a Lotus like feeling. A lotus flower symbolizes the Holy Presence that sits in the third eye. The third eye holds the presence of your guardian angel. Your guardian angel sensitively leads you into learning about your own Holy Presence many of you now call your higher self.

My higher self resides on Sirius. My Sirian counter part communicates with me very clearly through my third eye. Everything I share with you about The Rays is really a very blessed gift of wisdom from my higher self. My higher self holds the consciousness of love, the Holy Presence, that you as human beings so often falter in comprehending.

You all have the potential to learn from your own consciousness of love or your own Holy Presence. Your Holy Presence is of course held by your very own higher self.

Your guardian angels do their best to guard you from harmful interference of disturbing frequencies or dark beings until you are able to discriminate between the frequency of your higher self and the frequency dark forces. This ability to discriminate must be carefully learned through dealing with life challenges.

The human race is presently experiencing a consciousness evolution. Those of you who have percolated along through life without fully comprehending the consciousness of love are suddenly experiencing life from a different perspective. Life is beginning to expose you to healing practices that call you to learn to love yourselves more. When you love yourself more you focus on healing your fear. And you find others to guide you in your self- healing either through training with others or one-on-one healing sessions.

Many methods are being communicated through well prepared people who have agreed with their own higher selves to share the unique wisdom of their higher selves with others. My Be the Peace book and my Coat of Many Colors course are my gift to those of you who love to learn the way my friend Kathryn Jensen chooses to instruct others. Kathryn's higher self and my higher self have an agreement to help me help her serve you with this particular presentation of how communicate with your own guardian angel. Your own Holy Presence communicates through your guardian angel.

My methods and my expression of my higher self’s wisdom are likely to appeal to those of you appreciate the lilting, magical essence of those you call dolphins. We would love to have you come to Bimini in the Bahamas to swim with us. Our waters are becoming more and more accessible thanks to the efforts of dolphin swim facilitators we approve of. We are very consciously devoting ourselves to helping certain facilitators become more conscious of our mission.

Our Mission Statement

We, The Blue Dolphin Community of Bimini ask for all human beings and all dolphins to commit to creating world peace.

We commit to helping you communicate with your guardian angels. The guardian angel who loves you so holds your code to becoming the peace you are.

We commit to helping you purify yourself of as much fear as is best for you and your current stage of evolution.

We commit to loving you

The depth of your inner peace holds the code for living.

May we all live happily, lovingly and consciously.

We hold you in our Holy Presence. We ask that you hold us in yours.

We are yours in service

Walking Inside A Painting

2009-05-05T00:16:00.000-07:00

Take your notebook and paper to your local art gallery - or call in at a gallery while you are holidaying. Sit quietly in front of a painting that you find yourself drawn to and permit yourself to become a part of the scene. Do some relaxation exercises to warm up and to get yourself into the mood. Then permit yourself to be transported to the world of the artist. Wait until words rise from deep within. Only then begin to write.

Do not stop to think. Just write about where you are and what happens. You could write directly in the Bravenet forum I have provided or add your piece afterwards. Please identify the imagery you have chosen if you do this.

Silent Witness
done after walking inside Fredrick McCubbin's 'Lost'.

A silent witness, careful not to allow a twig to creak, I watched her, a diminutive figure enveloped amid the tall grey gums. Spires of yellowed grass cover her ankles as she weeps in her pinnie. The poor creature is clearly disorientated. She is hopelessly lost.

Will I approach and direct her, knowing that my intervention will be misinterpreted, that she will become even more frightened and the subsequent events will indelibly change history? What could I say to this young girl, a clay faced stranger in this wild foreign land? She has no clue. She stand pathetically weeping instead of looking for trails, the marks amid the bush that would lead her safely back to the small tent I saw in the valley little more than fifty meters away.

So close! Yet so far away! She may as well be a million miles from those clay faced men drinking outside their tent. She is inept, vulnerable and as helpless as a fledgling eagle separated from its mother.

I turn to walk away, silently, under the cover of the mute surroundings. I will return to my people and warn them of the arrival of more of these people. This group may perish but others will follow. I have seen these clay faced people on our land, people who leave huge scars across the earth, faceless people who will one day be as lost and disorientated as this child.

Heal the Polarity Within

2009-05-04T23:44:00.000-07:00

Jennifer Hoffman
Wednesday, 21 January, 2009

We have come full circle in humanity's journey from separation to integration, from total focus on the material to re-integration of the spiritual and from polarity to connection. We can see the effects of polarity in the world we live in but our greatest challenge in overcoming polarity is to create balance within, to heal and release those areas of our life where we experience life's ups and downs, joys and sorrows and remember who we are and our true mission of spiritual mastery.

Wherever you are on the roller coaster of your emotions at this moment is where you are experiencing polarity. Polarity is an excess of any energy and the opposite of polarity is reconnection and neutrality, when we are in the flow and not experiencing huge swings in any direction. Any aspect of your life that is out of the vibration of joy and unconditional love indicates where you can choose connection over polarity, balance over chaos, transform your thinking and create connection to the miracle vibration that is your true destiny. We choose to experience pain to remind us of our need to reconnect but there is an easier way to create this path.

Each of us is an aspect of the Creator, a spark of divine consciousness that together, creates the entire experience of God on earth. We have chosen polarity as our vision of being disconnected and now it is time for us to go home, to remember that Creator spark within, reconnect with it and to make it the focus of our life. There is no divine mandate that says we have to suffer; instead, there is a divine mandate that says that we can enjoy life, appreciate the beauty of our earthly home and learn from joy instead of from pain. But each of us makes that choice from within.

As a human family we are ready for this moment, as we have had every possible experience of polarity and all of the pain associated with it. Every choice has unlimited options, those that we see and others that enter our consciousness when we make reconnection our first choice. At that moment we are given unlimited possibilities for our path and we can choose the most joyful, peaceful and miraculous ones that will bring heaven on earth into our lives, remove us from the vibration of polarity into reconnection and unconditional love. When we do this for ourselves we enable it for all of humanity.

The Twelve Truths

2009-02-12T12:45:00.000-08:00

1. You can heal yourself by surrendering to love. It really is that simple. Only LOVE truly heals !
2. The long sought for Unified Field is a psychic energy field of love and soul consciousness - which lies not only beyond time and space but ALSO beneath our deepest fears.
3. The so-called laws of science and physics are essentially observer dependent - in that the consciousness of the observer determines what can be truly seen.
4. This Unified Field of love and soul consciousness is the absolute constant of the universe - in that, within it, time and space do not exist.
5. The near-death experience is, in reality, a state of soul consciousness - which lies beyond our present state of ego consciousness.
6. Our life is a clearly defined quest, not a struggle, to emerge from our present state of ego consciousness and reunite with our authentic self and our original state of soul consciousness.
7. Beneath our deepest pain and grief is a state of love, joy, and soul consciousness (the Unified Field).
8. Jesus was divinely human - an evolutionary forerunner for a state of soul consciousness we will all eventually surrender to.
9. There is no such thing as an ugly soul - we all come from a place of love, joy and soul consciousness.
10. Relationship is the true test of who we really are - and every love relationship, regardless of the pain, is a gift on the journey to find and embrace our authentic self and our authentic vocation in the loving plan.
11. Most long term therapy is thinly disguised co-dependency - we all have the capacity to heal ourselves if we will say YES to ourselves and not be controlled by fear.
12. Darwin had it wrong - evolution is fueled by social cooperation and altruism - not violence and survival of the fittest. We cannot escape our destiny and it is divine!

PLUTO MOVES INTO CAPRICORN

2009-02-12T12:38:00.000-08:00

Pluto in Capricorn
Merriman Market Analysis
Pluto, the God of the underworld who rules such mundane experiences as death, power, debt, and taxes, has moved into the domain of Capricorn, which is the realm of government, authority, boundaries of nations, and is signified by the psychological concepts of ambition, caution, resistance, responsibility, and an urge to make a clear distinction between right and wrong or good and evil. When these two principles interact with one another, it promises to be a very serious time. Pluto is a force that gathers like dark clouds prior to a severe storm. You can feel the electrical force building up in the atmosphere. You know the storm is coming. Inside of Capricorn, a cardinal sign, the storm finally strikes with all of its fury and force. Depending on the degree of preparedness, there could be great damage and destruction, or just a very close call, which in the end results in very little damage and very great thankfulness. And even if there has been great damage, the rebuilding effort that follows may actually result in conditions or situations that are better than they were before the storm. The storm leads to healing and a stronger structure from which to go forward again.
Pluto’s orbit around the Sun is a very long 248-year cycle. Pluto represents the principle of reform, and Capricorn the principle of structure and boundaries. Structures and boundaries will likely be transformed in a radical way, and this will have extremely important relevance to investment decisions, and well as political and economic ramifications.
History of Pluto in Capricorn

If we look at a list of all the periods when Pluto transited through Capricorn in the past 2500 years we will see many other themes besides stock market turmoil and military status transformations.
1. March 7, 449 BC – December 3, 428 BC
2. March 29, 204 BC – December 27, 184 BC
3. January 1, 42 AD – December 7, 61 AD
4. January 16, 287 – November 24, 306
5. February 21, 532 – November 22, 551
6. January 2, 778 – December 1, 796
7. January 8, 1024 – December 20, 1041
8. December 31, 1269 – November 1, 1287
9. January 2, 1516 – December 21, 1532
10. January 7, 1762 – December 1, 1778
11. January 26, 2008 – November 19, 2024.
There are common themes that characterize many of these eras dating back to 449 BC.
In 449BC Athens and Persia came to a peace settlement (known as The Peace of Callias). The years of Persian threat had ended. In economics, the themes are higher taxes resulting in class warfare, violent protests, and even revolutions against the government or those in power. But there are also many instances in which those taxes were used to advance human rights and construct important infrastructure needs for communities.
In 41AD Claudius succeeded Caligula as Roman emperor. In AD 42 the first revolt against his rule took place. The attempt of rebellion was easily put down before it ever really got started. However it revealed that the instigators of the uprising had possessed connections with very influential nobility in Rome.
Immediately after the failed rebellion of AD 42, Claudius decided to distract any attention from such challenges to his authority by organizing a campaign to invade and conquer Britain. He also instituted judicial reforms, creating in particular legal safeguards for the weak and defenceless.
1516 – 1532

The Protestant Reformation was a reform movement in Europe that began in 1517, though its roots lie further back in time. The Reformation can be said to have begun in earnest on October 31, 1517, in Wittenberg, Saxony (in present-day Germany). There, Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the All Saints’ Church, which served as a notice board for university-related announcements.[1] These were points for debate that criticized the Church and the Pope. The most controversial points centered on the practice of selling indulgences and the Church’s policy on purgatory. Other reformers, such as Ulrich Zwingli, soon followed Luther’s lead.

1762 The Social Contract (Du Contrat Social) by Jean Jacques Rousseau expresses antimonarchist views that aroused such passions that Rousseau took refuge in Switzerland to escape prosecution. “Man is born free yet everywhere is in chains”; “The body politic, like the human body, begins to die from its birth and bears in itself the causes of its destruction.”
In 1763 - The British pay taxes at higher rates than any other Europeans and have received little tax support from their colonists. They begin to take a harder line with the colonists. The revolutionary era began in 1763, when the French military threat to British North American colonies ended. Adopting the policy that the colonies should pay an increased proportion of the costs associated with keeping them in the Empire, Britain imposed a series of taxes followed by other laws intended to demonstrate British authority that proved extremely unpopular. Because the colonies lacked elected representation in the governing British Parliament many colonists considered the laws to be illegitimate and a violation of their rights as Englishmen. The American Revolution followed the sugar tax imposed by Britain.
Historian Theodore Draper wrote:
“If there was a year of decision, it was 1764. The way had been prepared the year before with the official end of the Seven Year’s War and the promulgation of the first measures which the colonies considered hostile to their interests. But it was in 1764 that the colonies began to find their ideology of resistance and to rally their forces”.
In 1763 The Rothschild banking empire had its beginnings in a coin and antique dealership opened at Frankfurt-am-Main by local entrepreneur Meyer (or Mayer) Amschel Rothschild, 21, whose father, Moses Amschel Bauer, was an itinerant money lender.

BEGINNING EXPERIENCES IN THE HIGHER REALMS

2009-02-02T05:57:00.000-08:00

From The Ascension Primer
by Karen Bishop

Everyone's experiences are different because we each create
surroundings and realities that come from within us. And this
alone pretty much sums up the higher realms; the higher
realms come from within.

As the ascension process serves to release and purge much
inside of us that is not of the light, we then begin to experience
much more of a higher way. It is a very natural process and a
beautiful one at that. As much of the density begins to be
cleared away, a great and shiny clarity is revealed that, if you
let it, can serve as a perfect roadmap for being in the higher
realms.

This chapter lists some interesting experiences you may be
having upon reaching a higher vibrating reality. But generally
speaking, reaching a higher vibrating reality involves finally
seeing clearly what really is. It is not interacting with other
energy forms and experiences through your ego or inner child.
It is not being attached to anything but Source. It is simply
being and experiencing energy.

Below is a list of new ways of being that usually arrive when
we begin to reside in a new and higher vibrating reality. Many
of these greatly surprised me as they were so much simpler
and better than I could have ever imagined. The old rules and
ways we were told of the higher realms were derived from an
ego-based consciousness that existed behind the veil, and were
some of them ever wrong! And the majority, but not all, of
any channelings only derive from the individual who is
channeling the information. Anyone can tap into any energy
pocket they choose that is vibrating as they are and get about
any kind of information that matches their belief system. Who
knows about the accuracy. Through the ascension process, we
go there. In this way, it is quite different indeed..

1. You reach a certain level through your
ascension process where you no longer desire or
resonate with any kind of healing. And like a
reformed smoker, you can get frustrated when the New
Age arena continues to focus much of their energy on
healing. As we begin to vibrate higher, we no longer
need healing. Healing serves to basically introduce us
to a lower vibrating energy that is no longer any kind of
a match to us. It can take us "back" where we no
longer are. And it can really bring in a lower vibrating
energy that we need not ever focus on again. Where
we place our energy and focus greatly becomes our
surrounding reality more than ever in the higher realms.
Why would one want to continually focus on lower
vibrating energy? This energy can feel like something
from another world where you are no longer residing.
And receiving a healing after you have "gotten here"
can also short circuit your system.

2. You no longer have the same connection
with your physical family. We chose to be born into
a physical environment in order to support the
development of necessary traits that we chose to
embody in order to support our soul purpose. In
addition, most of us agreed to uplift the planetary
vibration through transmuting the darker and denser
energies. After our prior incarnation is complete and
we are done and have arrived in a higher realm, our
purposes with our families are now obsolete. The cords
are basically severed. We are no longer connected
through issues. We are done with this experience.
Therefore, our family members can suddenly disappear
from our lives for no apparent reason as there is no
longer a connection to them. But if we continue to
simply love them and have that as our connection, we
can continue to maintain a relationship based on joy
and choice. And after we arrive in a higher state of
clarity, we are also able to clearly see who they really
are and how they operate, which has absolutely nothing
to do with us.

3. Your lifetime friends suddenly leave your
life. Same as above. And sometimes we re-unite with
friends we haven't seen for eons. And this energetic
pattern is also true for geographical areas on the planet
as well. When we are done with a particular purpose,
we are done. In the higher realms it is all about joy,
fun, experiencing, and creating with no attachments.
This is why we may also get to go back to old friends
and geographical homes as we are now uniting for a
different purpose.

4. You suddenly see what it is all about and
always has been and it has nothing to do with
"karma", "contracts", "life lessons", or "Earth as
a school". These are things that someone made up
and many of us bought into. We needed a story to
explain why we were so uncomfortable and we needed
it to be spiritual and purposeful so that our suffering
would not be in vain. When the fog finally lifts and we
rise above it, we are no longer seeing through limited
thinking of a lower vibrating consciousness. It is all
about energy and using it to have an experience. We
wanted to play games. We made up stories. At times
we came to the planet to try and alter it through our
higher consciousness that we placed in form (our
bodies). We were bored at times. The purpose of Earth
and of existence is to create through form. We were
never trying to get anywhere, continually trying to go
back home. We wanted to play, have fun and
experience. And we weren't serious all the time!
Spirituality is about joy, fun, creating, and playing. It is
absolutely not rigid, full of rules, or judgmental. It is
about freedom, love, and laughter.

5. You are no longer interested in spiritual
gatherings, group meditations, or the New Age
arena in general. You have come to realize that
intentional spirituality is not really real and does not
stick. The truth of the matter is, we are spiritual 24/7
no matter what we are doing. Forced spirituality
removes us from the world and places us in artificial
situations where we are not really being, but "trying" to
be. In the higher realms, we are simply living our lives
and experiencing. We are not continually wanting
something else and trying to place ourselves in
situations that we think may bring us closer to Source
because they seem to be more spiritual. It is far better
to have the presence of your being here in the world
rather than in a pocket of distanced and artificial
"trying."

6. You get rid of all your spiritual and selfhelp
books and no longer desire to learn
anything new. Congratulations! You have arrived in
the state of being. You are also done learning as you
are readying to provide your energy through your
special gifts and talents by simply being in a space
where you greatly enjoying being. Being in the
moment relates to this as well. And expanding and
growing always comes from experience, not from book
learning or mental awareness. We can now get any
additional information we need through connecting
directly to Source. In addition, if you are no longer
craving any new information, you are most likely done
in this universe and preparing to go to the next level.

7. You crave simplicity and can barely
tolerate anything complicated. We have released
so much that we are much more in a state of simplicity.
In the higher realms, one does not need to make
anything happen or to do one thing in order to have an
outcome. There are no hoops to jump through or
complicated processes. When we are being a vibration,
we simply and naturally draw it to us. And remember,
in the higher realms we are simply being, creating, and
experiencing. No planning, agendas, opinions, or
having to prove something or do something in order to
receive something.

8. Negativity feels downright awful. In the
higher realms, there is no contrast or negativity. When
we reach a higher state, we know intuitively that life is
about joy, passion, and creativity and we never have a
thing to complain about. Negativity comes from
powerlessness and this state does not exist in the
higher realms. And continually talking about anything
in a negative way brings it to life and makes negativity
a real experience and reality. It gives it fuel and allows
it to exist.

9. Drama is a thing of the past. When we
reach the higher states, we can clearly see that we had
been most certainly existing in a "play". As we are now
living and viewing things from a higher level, we no
longer need dramas and stories to unfold around us
due to unintentional and unconscious creating. We no
longer desire this emotional state of powerlessness as it
no longer fits where we are. And we are much too tired
and apathetic, as a perfect by-product of the ascension
process, to have the energy for this kind of thing!

10. What you think about seems to arrive in
record time. This effect really becomes evident during
energy surges. It is perfect training for practicing
positive thinking. We are so used to receiving realities
as if from no part of our own. We are coming to know
that we can really consciously create now with
purposeful intent for our best outcomes. And having
things arrive for us in record time can be a great
opportunity to become very clear in all aspects
regarding what we are trying to create. It can be fun to
continually tweak our creations until they are perfect.

11. You now wonder why you used to think
you had to surround yourself in white light or
clear any energies. In the higher realms this is a
waste of our time. Again, it only serves to focus energy
on what we do not want, thus giving it energy and
making it real. When we are vibrating high, lower
energies cannot possible affect us or gain access to our
space as they are not even a close match. With like
energies attracting like energies, we are now free and
clear to create, enjoy, and experience. This ties in with
the dimensional hierarchies as well.

12. "Saving" has no place in the higher
realms. Saving anything only serves to deny it of its'
rightful experience of growing and expanding and trying
something new through the contrast that is spurring it
on. Saving is interfering and comes from ego. If one
were to check in at a higher level with the mountain,
the person, or the animal that is being saved, one
would surely see that all is in divine right order and
these things do not need saving. I have done this
many times and always with the same outcome.

13. Putting yourself first is mandatory. Plain
and simple. We cannot pour from an empty pitcher.
Giving yourself away is disrespectful to yourself. The
best way to uplift the planet and really serve is by
sharing who you are through your special passions,
gifts, and talents and continually doing what you love to
do. After you have mastered putting yourself first, you
will naturally move on to service.

14. You no longer have the desire or need to
make things happen, to "try" or to "fix" anything.
At higher levels, we always know that everything is
always in divine right order so nothing needs to be
fixed. We also need not intentionally make things
happen as simply being them will draw them to us
along with intent. The old masculine involved doing
and extending ourselves. Through the ascension
process we become so weary that we cannot extend
even if our ego got in the way and encouraged us to!
We also know that we have to accept things and be OK
where we are before we can create anything new. In
the higher realms, we clearly get that we need to
accept where we are and be there, before we can move
ahead. Resistance only blocks the flow of Source
energy and short circuits us.

15. All your needs seem to be continually and
miraculously met. At first, this space may seem
strange and new, but after you get used to it, you don't
expect anything else. It becomes a way of being and
lasts. This occurrence is especially prevalent in regard
to money. If you have reached a higher level and are
really on track with your soul purpose, you will
absolutely and totally be supported. I know because
this has been my own personal reality for several years
and I used to really struggle financially before I
"arrived." This support never goes away.

16. You have no issues with the current
people in your life. This is similar to #2, but in the
opposing direction. Your relationships will now revolve
around companionship and projects with no "issue"
related hooks. You love, admire, and adore each other
for who you are, with no dependencies. When we get
to the space of no attachments, we are then free and
clear in all ways. This is where the fun, joy, and love
really come in.

17. You no longer relate to mental and
analytical processes. In the higher realms, we
interact and exist in relation to feeling. We come to
know that we only need to feel our way to anywhere.
And besides, our brains and thought processes are
barely working anyway. This is the beginning of really
using our intuition or rather connecting more highly
with our souls or higher selves...another step in getting
our ego out of the way. And in the higher realms, there
is no right or wrong, good or bad, or black or white.
Things either feel good (vibrating high) or they feel bad
(vibrating low). Everything simply is.

18. You no longer care what anyone thinks
about you. You also may not care about what anyone
thinks about anything! You do not care what anyone
thinks about you because a lot of your ego is gone. In
addition, in order to fulfill our soul purpose (which is
also our passion and joy), we can't be feeling insecure
or powerless with the possibility of being knocked out of
our grooves from an ego posture. Becoming worn
down and tired, again, gets us out of the way and we
begin to say, "I simply do not care anymore!" Perfect.

19. You finally realize that there is no dark or
light. There is only light. All energy is always going in
the same direction with a higher level purpose of
supporting the light. The appearance of lack of light
only exists to ignite the light or provide the contrast
needed to spur us on to create and bring in more light.
In the higher realms, polarity is no longer needed once
we realize this and have integrated it.

20. Your health improves. And this involves
your physical, emotional, and mental health. With all
the purging and releasing, we have literally been put
back together so to speak, in a more solid way. And
then, just like the earth herself, we will move forward
once we have been restored. We will then begin a real
"morphing" into a higher level form of human and
beyond.

21. You get to retire. You begin to experience a
flow to life at a slow, leisurely pace where you need not
do anything you do not really wish to. Everything falls
into your lap. You life consists of much basking,
savoring, creativity, a strong connection to Source and
gratitude for the simple things in life.

22. You have no agendas. I have not used a day
planner for years. The rare times I need to make an
appointment (usually for my hair!) or be somewhere at
a certain time, feel extremely off and confining. One of
the reasons I discontinued giving personal soul readings
was because they were scheduled. In the higher
realms, we naturally meet up with who and what we
need to connect with through synchronicity and the Law
of Attraction. Occasionally, I will find myself conversing
with a stranger and end up giving them a reading...all
very naturally. It's all about being in the moment and
trusting.

23. You have no responsibilities. And when you
do, it feels so downright awful, wrong, and confining
that you can barely tolerate it. This is why the first
wavers are going first as they are primarily in their 50's
and their children are grown. It was all perfectly
planned. To ascend, we must be totally free and clear
with no attachments. After much of the purging and
purifying is done (for awhile, at least), what is then left
is the purer gold nugget of the real you. In the higher
realms we need only wear one hat. We do not need to
scatter our energies in places that are not a pure and
clear reflection of who we are at the highest levels...or
our soul purpose.

24. You have no more fear. In the higher
realms we have mastered trust. Having already been
through so much and come out alive, it must mean that
there is a higher plan going on. Besides, we're much
too tired and weary to do it all on our own anymore. At
some point, we have learned to let Source in and help
us out.

25. When something unpleasant occurs, any
corresponding emotions come and go in record
time. A dramatic event happens in our life and we're
over it almost immediately. No holding on. Being in
the higher realms is being in the moment with no
attachments. We know we can start fresh and new in
any given moment and create a whole new life,
scenario or space to occupy. We have become masters
at releasing.

26. You are rarely connected to your
surrounding environment. Or the environment that
was created from the old consciousness. You find that
you spend much of your time in your own personal
sanctuary at home and that you spend much more time
than you ever did alone or with a very small circle of
close friends. The outside world and many of its'
inhabitants are not yet vibrating where you are. You
just can't do it anymore and are much more
comfortable out in nature or spending time with
animals.

27. You have an unquenchable thirst for
creativity. After so much has been swept away within
ourselves and in our lives, we may find ourselves in a
space of boredom. What do you do now that most of
your needs are met and you are so very free and clear?
This is when the creativity comes barreling in. In the
higher vibrations, it is all about creativity. We have
come into form to experience and create. When you
arrive in this space, you will feel like you are almost
manic with your creativity. The enormous amount of
energy that is now running through you demands an
outlet. And now that you are no longer in a space of
healing, fixing, trying to make change, or shift the
energies, it's time to have fun and create, create, and
create!

28. You laugh a lot and find many things
amusing and funny. Lightheartedness is a natural
state of being in the higher realms. Enough said.

29. You have a heightened love and
compassion for all living things. The higher states
can at times overwhelm you, but they feel so good.

30. Incredible peace is a mainstay. Great
peace seems to be about all there is for you at
times...and these times are frequent. Being still in the
simplicity...watching a spider crawl down it's web in the
sunshine...basking with your cats...being one with a
sunset or even with a bug on the earth. All regular and
frequent occurrences.

31. Your inner child seems to have
disappeared. Although you still love to play and frolic.
In regard to childhood wounds and issues, you no
longer see things from this point of view. What is now
left is simply the healthy aspects of your inner
child...seeing things with awe and wonderment and the
original innocence. And oh, is it wonderful! This is why
it can be so much more comfortable to hang out with
our little ones...they get it.

32. You begin to have an understanding
about how all is connected. You understand that
there are no mistakes, all is in divine right order, and
there is never and was never anything "wrong."

33. You are much more connected to your
soul. You and your soul or higher self are now much
more one. Your human personality that operated from
a disconnect and from beneath the veil is seemingly no
longer running the show."

About Soul Retrieval

2009-01-31T13:55:00.000-08:00

by Katie Weatherup

SOUL RETRIEVAL IS DEAR TO MY HEART. It is a gentle, graceful, and profound healing practice. This information will better help you understand your soul retrieval. In the description that follows, I am using a shamanic framework to describe and clarify the nature and experience of the soul. This article will help you understand and possibly engage with the unseen world by presenting a framework that our conscious minds can understand. You don’t have to believe in or agree with this framework to have a soul retrieval.

The soul, as referred to in soul retrieval, is the energetic essence of your being. It encompasses the intangible aspects of your being, including gifts, qualities, and aspects of who you are. It is the you that transcends physical experience. Pieces and parts of that soul essence can sometimes become separated, trapped, and/or lost. If you imagine the soul energy as a sphere, when soul loss occurs, there are voids and areas that are missing.

Soul loss is part of the human experience. It’s designed to protect our nonphysical essence from various kinds of trauma. If something traumatic is happening, such as a car accident, physical violence, or an emotional assault, the last place we want to be is fully present in our bodies and in the experience. Instead, part of us goes away to avoid the trauma. Psychologists refer to this as dissociation. The shamanic community calls it soul loss. Either way, it helps us to survive the various kinds of trauma that happen in our lives.

Lots of kinds of trauma can cause soul loss. Examples include accidents, surgery, sexual violence, and combat trauma. Whenever someone says, “I’ve never been the same since my accident/that relationship/my surgery,” they are describing a soul loss experience. Trauma that causes soul loss can be subtle and different for each person. Being teased or shamed can cause a sensitive child to lose soul parts.

Whatever the trauma, the protective mechanism of soul loss causes part of our life essence to leave in order to protect itself from being damaged or traumatized. The soul part leaving sometimes carries away some of the memory and immediacy of the experience. In the normal course of events, the soul part would return on its own after the trauma had passed. But sometimes the trauma is so severe that the soul part goes so far and fast that it can’t find its way back and gets lost. In cases of chronic trauma or abuse, the soul part may not know it’s safe to come back. There’s no time in shamanic reality, so the soul part doesn’t know that twenty years have passed and the violent stepfather is no longer in the picture.

Another type of soul loss occurs when a part leaves because it doesn’t fit or because it is sent away. This could be an aspect that is shamed or punished; for example, a girl might send away her anger. Sometimes we send soul parts away because they don’t fit into our adult lives, disowning our impractical passions.

Finally, soul loss can happen when parts of our soul are taken by or given to the significant people in our lives. As human beings, we struggle to maintain good physical and emotional boundaries. The concept of good energetic boundaries is not something that occurs to most people. When soul parts are taken or exchanged, it invariably happens on an unconscious, energetic level. People who have had soul parts taken unknowingly take soul parts from others. While there’s no judgment or blame, this does put people in an inappropriate energetic relationship.

Picture a mother, already diminished by her own soul loss experiences, looking at her child. She might think that if she could just have some of her child’s vitality and energy, she would be able to cope with her life. On an energetic level, she reaches out and takes some of the child’s essence. The child may resist at first, but eventually it is easier to give up the soul part than keep struggling. Or perhaps the child feels sorry for the parent and gives up their soul part willingly. Again, I want to emphasize that this isn’t deliberate. When I retrieve soul parts, parents are always glad to give up their children’s soul parts once they realize what they’ve done.

In a romantic relationship, the people involved often will trade soul parts. Our culture’s love mythology implies that when we love someone, we give them our heart and our soul. It’s easy to mistake a lack of energetic boundaries for closeness and connection. People often unconsciously give their lover some of their own vital life essence along with their love. This exchange makes both people more dependent on each other, less able to stand on their own, and thus less likely to leave. It can feel safer and more connected to both parties, but in reality, both people are diminished.

Whatever the source of soul loss, the effects are much the same. Soul loss will diminish a person’s sense of well-being and joy in life. It can cause a lack of vitality and interest in the world. People often feel depressed, listless, and as though the world was all gray. Soul loss can lead to gaps in memory. People can feel fragmented or spacey or even like pieces are missing. Sometimes people become accident-prone or keep falling into the path of misfortune. People with soul loss can spend a lot of energy working through events of their past and still feel impacted by them. In extreme cases, soul loss can cause a lack of sense of self, suicidal tendencies, and vulnerability to physical illness.

Impact of a Soul Retrieval

The experience of soul retrieval varies from person to person. Some people experience soul retrieval as life-changing: a sensation of being filled up, a tingling or a heat. Other people feel a subtler impact. Often a much greater effect is felt some hours after the soul retrieval than immediately after the work is completed. I felt the largest impact at dawn the day after my soul retrieval.

The shift in your life can be subtle. Some clients have reported that they felt very little at the time but found that they felt more solid in themselves, less tired, more sure of their choices and path following a soul retrieval. Things that would have been nearly impossible seem fairly straightforward after a soul retrieval.

In terms of emotional impact, soul retrieval is very gentle. Even when parts are lost due to severe trauma, they come back unharmed. When people get back memories of the traumatic events that caused soul loss the memories are factual, with no emotion attached. After a soul retrieval, people often want extra downtime, to reflect and just be with themselves. If people have a strong emotional response to soul retrieval, it’s almost invariably one of profound joy and celebration. “Dark night of the soul” work and emotional catharsis are valuable, but they are not generally part of the soul retrieval experience.

Because soul retrieval is so gentle, people are sometimes surprised by how much of an impact it has. Afterwards you may find it much harder to accept situations where you are not being honored, regardless of the economic or emotional advantages of being in that place. For example, I used to be very good at swallowing my truth and not speaking up. After my soul retrieval it became much more uncomfortable to be silent than it was to speak, so I began saying what I needed to say to those around me. It was a good change, but it happened very quickly. A soul retrieval has the potential to put you on the fast track of interpersonal growth.

If you get soul parts back from another person, this can impact your relationship with them. In some cases, returning the soul parts instantly improves the relationship. Tensions and conflict may dissipate overnight. In other cases—if a marriage is teetering on the edge, for example—a soul retrieval could precipitate its end. Any relationship where the other person is invested in controlling my client is likely to be made rockier by a soul retrieval. This is because a soul retrieval makes the recipient stronger, more complete, and harder to control or manipulate.

Those individuals who have ended a major relationship and are having trouble moving on are perfect candidates for a soul retrieval. Very often a soul part is left behind with the former spouse or lover and returning that part to my client frees them to move on. If someone who held your soul part has died, returning that soul part has a powerful benefit for both of you. It frees the soul of the other person to move on, unburdened by energy that they can’t use. For my client, it can release them from a fascination with and a pull toward death.

About Power Animals

My soul retrievals include bringing back two power animals. They help support you following the soul retrieval. Power animals are spirits who appear in shamanic reality in animal form. It is believed that when a child is born, a benevolent spirit in animal form looks at the infant and sees how helpless they are. That spirit takes pity on the child and becomes their ally and protector. Often a person’s power animal will be an animal that they have a strong affinity for.

In ordinary reality, a power animal is a source of protection and power. It’s your power animal’s job to make sure that the idiot driving way too fast doesn’t hit you and that if a rock falls out of the sky it lands next to you, not on you. They work on our behalf to keep the physical world safe and positive for us. A strong connection to a power animal provides a source of energy and support and enhances the flow of your own energy.

The power animals I bring back may or may not be the ones that you expect. If I bring back an unexpected power animal, it doesn’t mean the one you expected isn’t your power animal; it almost certainly is. It just means that these are new animals coming into relationship with you. The more work we do to heal and grow, the more spiritual help is available to us, hence more power animals.

Honoring Privacy

When receiving a soul retrieval, you have the option to share or not share the events and experiences in your life that may have led to soul loss. The work is completely effective even if I don’t get any information from you aside from your request that I do the work. If you choose not to share knowledge about your life, my spirit guides will honor your privacy by not showing me things that you haven’t shared. They may give me symbols that are meaningful to you but not to me.

When people choose to share, I get more information and detail during the soul retrieval. I can also sometimes address family themes that need healing or do other types of healing work if the person has talked to me about their experiences. But sharing isn’t required.

If any information I receive about the soul parts I find conflicts with your intuition, trust yourself rather than what I told you. I was molested at five. Because I had no memory of the event, I didn’t list it as a cause of soul loss. Therefore, the person doing my soul retrieval got a vague and different story about that soul part. I knew the loss of this part was related to the molestation because I got the memories back with the soul part. So trust your own experience rather than my report; sometimes I am given a different story as a placeholder.

How Soul Retrieval Works

When I begin a soul retrieval, you’ll lie down quietly. While I am doing the soul retrieval, set your intent to release anyone else’s soul parts you may be holding onto and ask that they return to the appropriate person. Simply stating this intent clearly and/or asking your guides for help is sufficient.

During the soul retrieval, I go into an altered or trance state while lying down quietly and listening to a drumming CD. I shift my awareness into shamanic reality, meet my guides, and begin the work. I begin by locating two power animals that will support you through the reintegration process.

After meeting your power animals, I ask your spirit guides if there is a message or information for you.

At that point, the true soul retrieval work begins. I step into a shamanic void and wait for the soul pieces I will be bringing back to light up, showing me how many there are and where they are located. My horse then carries me to each of them in the order that my guides agree is most appropriate. At that point I work with the soul parts in whatever situation I find them.

If the soul part is alone, I talk to it about how you are ready to receive it back and would like it to return. I give it space to tell me its story. Sometimes the part talks to me about why it left, sometimes not. I note the surroundings in which I find the soul part and how old it appears to be.

If the soul part is a part that is held by someone else in your life, I offer a soul retrieval for the person holding your soul part. My hawk will go forth and bring back the soul parts that this person lost that caused them to take your soul part. It’s not a complete soul retrieval, but invariably after the shamanic aspect of that person has their own soul part returned, they are willing to relinquish yours. In shamanic reality, the person holding your soul part has better access to their higher self. So however disconnected from their love and compassion they may be in ordinary reality, they often experience those emotions in the shamanic world.

Once I’ve gathered up the three to six soul pieces that my guides have identified as the most critical, I stand on a cliff and cast an energetic net into your past lives. (Please note: You don’t have to believe in past lives. Again, this is part of a framework for understanding the experience.) I pull forward any soul energy that was left behind or trapped there and add it to the other parts I am bringing back. For some clients, there is a huge amount of life essence from past lives, for others only a small bit. These parts come back just as energy without a story.

Before I return the soul parts to you, I do an extraction. This simply means removing any energy that has taken the place of the missing soul parts that doesn’t serve you. I gently remove black, stagnant energy, creating space for the soul parts to go into.

If I am doing the soul retrieval in person, I then return my awareness to ordinary reality with the soul parts held in my arms. As I sit up, I lean over and blow the soul parts into the heart chakra and then into the crown chakra. I seal the aura with my hands or with a rattle and let the client know the work is complete. I like to give my client some time to sit with the experience before I talk with them about it.

If I am working from a distance, I return the soul parts to my client with my awareness still in shamanic reality. I blow the parts in and seal the aura.

I then share the details of my journey. This completes the soul retrieval.

After the Soul Retrieval

I recommend you spend some time talking to your soul parts. There are three questions you can ask each part in the days or weeks following your soul retrieval:

* Is there anything you want to tell me about why you left?
Your soul part may or may not choose to share information.

* How will you be of service to me?
Soul parts always come back with gifts and ways that they will help and support us. It could be anything from helping you to be creative and passionate and play more, to helping you stand up for yourself, to helping you find your car keys in the morning.

* What can I do to make it comfortable for you to stay?
With this question, understand that you are not in danger of losing your soul parts again unless your life includes the same kind of abuse that caused the soul loss. For example, if someone lost a soul part as a child due to physical abuse and is currently in a physically abusive relationship, the soul part would provide a great push to leave that relationship. If the person chooses to stay, the soul part would likely leave again. Also, depending on the answer, negotiation may be required, since a three-year-old soul part may want things that are impractical for an adult—for example, a young soul part that wants ice cream. If you are now lactose intolerant, you could remember what it was like to eat ice cream instead of actually eating it and making yourself sick.

With these questions, just find a quiet time and see if answers bubble to the surface. There’s no way to do it wrong; you’re really just talking to yourself, after all. If you don’t get answers, that’s okay. Regardless, it’s good to welcome your soul parts back and celebrate their return.

I recommend that people wait 24 hours before talking about the soul retrieval experience. This is because often the work is felt most strongly some time after the initial return of the parts. Since soul retrieval doesn’t translate easily into words, talking about and analyzing the experience can take you out of it. It is said that in Western culture we suffer from premature evaluation. Also, if you put words to it too soon, you risk remembering the words you used rather than what the soul retrieval felt like.

Following a soul retrieval, you will continue to experience spontaneous soul return of soul parts coming back on their own, now that the process has been activated. This is part of why most people only need one soul retrieval, rather than ongoing sessions.

By understanding soul loss, there is an opportunity to move through the world with much healthier energetic boundaries. It is good to become conscious of not giving away your soul parts, no matter how deeply you love someone. You can also set your intent to release any soul parts that you may have collected from others as you go along. When you release those parts, you free yourself of the burden of unusable energy. You also improve your energetic relationship to the people whose soul parts you have and place yourself more fully in right relationship with the universe.

8 steps to make 2009 your best year ever

2009-01-26T21:34:00.001-08:00

by Melissa Kitto & Richard Lassiter

Happy New Year!

It’s New Years Eve. It’s the perfect time of year to set new goals and direction for your life. What would you like to be, do or have in 2009? What really inspires you? The key to fulfillment is doing the things that really make you happy. If you see a person who really loves what he does and is happy and joyful it means he is living his spiritual purpose. If you went and did the things he is doing, you would probably be miserable! It’s his spiritual purpose - not yours.

Each person is here on Planet Earth for spiritual growth. Each person has a unique life purpose. On our recent survey, the most popular topic that people said they want to learn about was: Discovering their Life Purpose. Discovering your life purpose is actually quite simple. It’s so simple you might miss it. Here’s the secret to discovering your life purpose. Drum roll please!

Do what you truly want and desire.

That’s my challenge to you for 2009. Instead of limiting yourself because there’s not enough time, there’s not enough money, my parents expect this of me, my children need me to do xyz, the economy is bad etc, etc, etc. Why not do what you truly want and desire?

Learn to look within and follow those inner desires. When you do, you will be guided toward the right path for you. If you feel stuck right now, you are resisting that inner guidance. It is always within you. It always has been. Here are 8 practical steps you can take to set a new direction for yourself this year. Take some time today or on New Years Day to write down some goals for 2009.

1. Ask yourself what you really, truly want
Take some quiet time to look within. I don’t mean a few minutes; I mean take the time you would take if your life depended on you figuring this out. It does. If you don’t know what YOU want; if that isn’t very clear in your mind, you are existing, not truly living.

Write down your big dreams and goals. Be honest with yourself about what you want. Don’t limit yourself! Imagine you had no limitations because you don’t. In reality, limitations are illusions you have chosen to believe are real. They are not real. The only limitations you have are the ones you think you have. If you want something - you want it! It’s OK! It’s beyond OK. It is your spiritual responsibility to yourself to go after your wants.

Many people have concepts around money. They may have been taught that, “Money is the root of all evil.” Money is just a tool. It’s a form of energy. We live in an abundant universe. In order to have more abundance, organize yourself to offer some kind of service to help other people. Then, you have an energy exchange. The more people you help, the more abundance you will attract.

In Step 1 write down what you want in ALL areas of your life. Don’t be ashamed to include material and financial desires as well as relationships, family, travel, career, hobbies, friendships etc, etc. Remember . . . NO LIMITATIONS.

2. Now craft these desires into a goal statement
What is the end result, or desired outcome, that you would like to have? Make it as specific as possible. For now, don’t worry about HOW you’re going to reach the goal. As a matter of fact, if the HOWS start coming into your mind at this stage, cleanse and cut that energy for now. That’s not important. If you have the desire within, you have the ability to accomplish the goal. Otherwise, you would never have been able to conceive of the goal(s) in the first place. Your goals are the spiritual spark from your inner creativity.

3. Rewrite the goal in the present tense, as if it has already occurred
This will change your mindset. By writing the goal in the present tense you are making it real and believable in your mind. You are creating. For example, read these two goal statements and compare how each one makes you feel:

:: I will build an extension on my house
:: I have built an extension on my house

Notice the difference? When I read the first example it feels like a distant hope or wish that may happen someday. When I read the second example I feel powerful that I have accomplished something. I visualize the house having been built and imagine what I am doing in my house! Belief is a powerful creative energy.

4. Add to your statement how you will FEEL once the goal is accomplished
When you add the feeling to your goal you will raise your energy vibration to be much more attractive. An example of adding the feelings to your goal is: “I am so happy and grateful that I have a beautiful new home that I feel relaxed and peaceful in.”

5. Sense the timing in which you can accomplish your goal
You may be able to sense the best timing for your goal through your psychic sensitivity. Or, you can check with your guidance month by month. Or choose the time you want to have it accomplished, and then recheck with your guidance if it is realistic. (You aren’t tricking yourself into thinking about HOW are you?)

6. Write down the action steps required to reach your goal
This is a critical step! Don’t miss this one. Write down the steps you will need to take to accomplish this goal and when you will do them. Start from the end date and work backwards. For example, we have a goal to reach 100 people at a lecture in Sydney, Australia in June. So, we know we need to send press releases to the media in April. We need to book our flights in March etc, etc.

Motion beats meditation. A huge misunderstanding about the Law of Attraction is that if you just think about what you want it will mysteriously appear in your life. I’ve never yet seen bags of money fall out of the sky. (Although if you know how to make that happen, let me know.) You need to take action! Don’t just think about it - do something about it! Don’t worry if you don’t have all the resources or education you need yet. Just start moving and your guidance will help you find the solutions you need. If you do nothing - you have nothing.

When your Spirit Guides see that you are committed and you are taking action on your goals, they will back you with new opportunities beyond your wildest dreams. They cannot move into action on your behalf until you do. It would be contrary to their contract with you. Your job is to keep taking action and never allow doubt to creep in. Your Guidance will create what we call the “magic of the how.”

7. Read and visualize your goals daily
It’s so easy to slip back into old habits or to be negatively influenced by your environment. Read your goals daily (at least) to remind yourself of where you are headed. Stay in a positive frame of mind about yourself and your life as much as you can. Negative talk, self-criticism and doubtful thoughts will sabotage your success. Think only positive thoughts about yourself and your life.

8. Keep rechecking along the way
Circumstances and timing can change. Maybe you find that you change your mind about wanting a certain goal or that the desire for it has dissipated. This often means there is something even better for you around the corner. Your angels have a bigger picture than you do about your spiritual purpose. Trust your hunches and follow your desires! Keep moving toward that feeling and make 2009 the most wonderful year in an ongoing series of coming years. It is time we lived our spiritual potential on all levels. Welcome to the Age of Balance.

The Emotional Connection to Tension

2009-01-26T21:33:00.001-08:00

While most bodywork experts agree that tension and pain in the body are largely caused by how we move (or don’t move enough) throughout the day, a growing number of practitioners cite emotional stress as another factor. Deb Shapiro, author of Your Body Speaks Your Mind (Sounds True, May 2006), says that understanding how parts of the body connect to certain emotions can help us get in touch with neglected areas of our subconscious.

“And the great thing about that is tapping into the root of the problem on an emotional level can heal chronic pain,” she says.

Here’s what your tension spots could be trying to tell you.

Neck
The neck is a two-way communicator: You take in life-sustaining food, water, and air through the neck, and at the same time, emotions, feelings, and thoughts are expressed outwardly through your voice. Stiffness here can indicate resistance, usually to other ways of thinking.

Shoulders
This is where you carry the weight of your responsibilities, whether it’s work, family, or mortgage payments. Creative energy flows from here, moving into your arms and hands, where it emerges in what you do in the world. Tense shoulders can also indicate resistance, perhaps to the responsibilities you feel you must maintain, or pressure that’s put on you to perform.

Upper back
This area, the reverse side from the heart, is where you can store repressed anger, resentment, guilt, or shame.

Mid back
Your core allows you to bend and move, representing your ability to be psychologically and emotionally flexible. Stiffness in the mid back can reflect an inner stiffness, holding on to a fear, or inability to go with the flow.

Low back
This part of the body supports your weight from above, and it’s related to your notions of survival, security, and self-support. If you’re feeling insecure—or as though you’re unable to meet other people’s expectations—that pressure can manifest in the low back.

Butt
Although seemingly soft, the glutes are often the most tense and clenched muscles in the body. This area has to do with elimination and release, so control and power issues are often held here.

Hamstrings
These muscles are connected to the knees—which we use to bow down to a higher being—and so tight hamstrings can often mean that a deeper level of surrender is needed. The thighs and hamstrings also hold on to past conflicts, such as traumatic childhood memories, anger, or resentment. This area is also closely associated with sexuality and intimacy.

Boost your self esteem with positive affirmation

2009-01-26T21:32:00.001-08:00

When you consider that low self-esteem is usually the result of negative messages being absorbed by the subconscious, it makes sense that feeding your mind more positive messages can make a powerful difference!

What stops most people is the uncertainty of what to say, and how to word affirmations for optimal effectiveness. Below you’ll find some simple tips to help you write effective affirmations for improving your self-esteem.

1) Present tense

First, it’s helpful to word affirmations in present tense, not future. You wouldn’t want to say, “I will learn to love myself” because that makes it sound like you’ll get around to it “someday.” Instead you could say, “I choose to love myself.” The wording of that affirmation does two things: it empowers you with the addition of the words “choose to,” and it puts the timeframe in the present moment.

2) Believable

At the same time, your affirmations should be believable to you. If you tried to say, “I am a wonderful person with a lot to offer the world,” you may not really believe that, so your subconscious mind might reject it. Instead, try to focus on a process rather than an end result in your affirmations. Say something like, “I am learning to embrace my uniqueness and share it confidently with others.”

3) Use the right tone

When you recite affirmations, you can do so aloud or just mentally, but you should focus heavily on the TONE you use. Rather than saying the words without emotion like you were reading a newspaper - really inject an element of love and tenderness into them. Your subconscious mind picks up on the emotional aspect of what you’re saying more than the actual words. Imagine the difference between saying the words, “I really love myself” with a tone of love and compassion, or sarcasm. Which do you think would have a greater impact on your subconscious mind?

4) Repetition

Once you’ve got some affirmations formed to work on your self-esteem, try saying them several times a day. Remember, your subconscious mind is constantly playing back old, negative messages - so you want to counteract those as much as possible. Keep reciting your more positive thoughts on a regular basis - especially when you become aware that you’re thinking negatively about yourself.

5) Give it time

Finally, remember that it will take time to change those old, negative messages in your mind to something more positive. It may take a few weeks or even months before you’ll notice an obvious difference in how you feel, and you may be tempted to think it isn’t working. Keep with it, and you will begin to see a difference eventually! Most likely it will be a gradual change. Little by little you’ll start feeling more positive, and notice that you’re feeling a bit happier and lighter. That’s your signal that it’s working!

Learning to Love Yourself

2009-01-26T21:31:00.001-08:00

Loving yourself can be difficult when you have limiting and derogatory messages playing in your subconscious mind. Most of these messages are recorded during childhood, but their effects can be far reaching! Did you know that you’re still being influenced by the things your parents and others said to you decades ago?

When someone told you that you were no good, you believed them. When someone told you that you’d never amount to anything, you believed them. When someone told you that you were stupid or learning disabled or weird, you believed them. And you still believe them to this day - even if you’re not consciously aware of these underlying beliefs.

Is it possible to overcome old messages and replace them with new, empowering messages? Yes! Here are three good ways to start:

1) Romance yourself. Think about the last love affair you had. At the beginning you and your partner probably devoted a lot of time, attention and affection to each other, right? You felt passionate and swept away by the beauty of your partner and he/she probably felt the same about you. One of the best ways to learn to love yourself is to enter into a similar process - with yourself! Treat yourself like royalty! Do things that make you feel happy. Hug yourself. Sweet-talk yourself. Buy yourself nice things. Spend quality time with yourself simply because you deserve it.

2) Explore your existing beliefs. You may suspect you have old, limiting messages rattling around in your head but still be unsure about what they are exactly. In order to discover the beliefs that are holding you back, you may need to go on an expedition. Begin exploring your existing beliefs by writing in a journal. Give yourself prompts or questions like these: “My earliest memory of feeling stupid was . . .” “My mother always made me feel . . .” “My father always treated me like . . .” and so on. The idea is to think back to an earlier time in your life and see if you can discover when and where your limiting beliefs got started. Then, challenge those beliefs. Are they still true? Were they ever true? Decide what you WANT to be true, and begin to replace the old belief by focusing more on your new and improved beliefs.

3) Emphasize your good qualities! When you have low self-esteem, you tend to keep focusing on the things that are “wrong with you,” and dismissing the things that you have going for you. Start to turn this around by praising and encouraging yourself in your self-talk. When you accomplish something, congratulate yourself! Say things like, “Wow, I’m really proud of myself for doing that. It wasn’t easy, but I pushed through the rough spots and gave it my best shot.” You can also make a point of simply giving yourself positive self-talk daily.
Recite affirmations like these: “I am a valuable person. I have a lot to offer the world. I’m talented and successful.” The more you do it, the more you’ll come to believe it!

10 Things Happy Couples Do

2009-01-22T01:47:00.000-08:00

By Mark Goulston, M.D.

Happy couples know that the real relationship begins when the honeymoon is over. They know that unless you maintain the garden of love, its beauty will wither and die. Now discover the 10 things that happy couples do:

1. Go to bed at the same time. Remember the beginning of your relationship, when you couldn't wait to go to bed with each other to make love? Happy couples resist the temptation to go to bed at different times. They go to bed at the same time, even if one partner wakes up later to do things while their partner sleeps.

2. Cultivate common interests. After the passion settles down, it's common to realize that you have few interests in common. But don't minimize the importance of activities you can do together that you both enjoy. If common interests are not present, happy couples develop them. At the same time, be sure to cultivate interests of your own; this will make you more interesting to your mate and prevent you from appearing too dependent.

3. Walk hand in hand or side by side. Rather than one partner lagging or dragging behind the other, happy couples walk comfortably hand in hand or side by side. They know it's more important to be with their partner than to see the sights along the way.

4. Make trust and forgiveness your default mode. If and when they have a disagreement or argument, and if they can't resolve it, happy couples default to trusting and forgiving rather than distrusting and begrudging.

5. Focus more on what your partner does right than what he or she does wrong. If you look for things your partner does wrong, you can always find something. If you look for what he or she does right, you can always find something, too. It all depends on what you want to look for. Happy couples accentuate the positive.

6. Hug each other as soon as you see each other after work. Our skin has a memory of "good touch" (loved), "bad touch" (abused) and "no touch" (neglected). Couples who say hello with a hug keep their skin bathed in the "good touch," which can inoculate your spirit against anonymity in the world.

7. Say "I love you" and "Have a good day" every morning. This is a great way to buy some patience and tolerance as each partner sets out each day to battle traffic jams, long lines and other annoyances.

8. Say "Good night" every night, regardless of how you feel. This tells your partner that, regardless of how upset you are with him or her, you still want to be in the relationship. It says that what you and your partner have is bigger than any single upsetting incident.

9. Do a "weather" check during the day. Call your partner at home or at work to see how his or her day is going. This is a great way to adjust expectations so that you're more in sync when you connect after work. For instance, if your partner is having an awful day, it might be unreasonable to expect him or her to be enthusiastic about something good that happened to you.

10. Be proud to be seen with your partner. Happy couples are pleased to be seen together and are often in some kind of affectionate contact -- hand on hand or hand on shoulder or knee or back of neck. They are not showing off but rather just saying that they belong with each other.

Even if these actions don't come naturally, happy couples stick with them until they do become a part of their relationship. They know that it takes 30 days for a change in behavior to become a habit, and a minimum of six months for a habit to become a way of life and love.

The message from the Grandmothers

2009-01-22T01:11:00.000-08:00

January 2009: This is Why We Have Come

“Grandmothers, “ I said as I came to stand before twelve large, very imposing eagles, “I think I’m a little discouraged. I’ve been sick for a while and have been questioning everything. There are so many spiritual groups at work now,” I said, “so much channeling of information, so many ideas, teachers, etc, that it seems like we’re living in a spiritual marketplace. With everybody doing this and that, and a lot of it good,” I added, “I wonder if what I’m doing with spreading your message is still worthwhile.

“The Grandmothers eyed me and stood patiently by; clearly they were waiting me out. “I just wonder,” I said, “do you still want people to work with you? I mean,” I stammered, “do you still want me take your message to new people?” I was terribly uncomfortable asking this question, well aware that I was seeking reassurance from them, something I hated to do.

“Nodding knowingly, the Grandmothers gave me a penetrating look and then replied, “We do not care if people work with us or not. We are not looking for people to call to us.” I blinked and stared at them, wondering what this meant. “There’s a great deal of work that needs doing now on earth,” they said, “and our particular job is to infuse the energy of Yin back into this planet. We have come to awaken everyone to the presence of the Divine Feminine,” they said. “And we offer the empowerment into the energy of yin so you can experience this presence and be a vehicle for the Great Mother. So you can move out of separation, and into union with the Divine. This is why we have come.

“Our work with each of you is personal,” they said. “We have no theories to give you, no predictions or promises to make, except that if you answer our call your life will be filled with joy and you will no longer feel lonely and separated from the Divine. If you are tired of living separate from God, tired of feeling cut off, worshipping from afar, longing for union, longing for something better, then call on us,” they said. “We have come for this. Now is the end of separation,” they said and firmly folded their wings/arms against their chests.

“Your lives are much more difficult that they need to be, and when we see you in distress, it hurts us very much. Your pain is so unnecessary. The truth is that you are living in an exciting time,” they said. “Your birth was no accident. You were born for this time. Now!” they cried. “You were born to be forerunners, way-showers for the time when humanity comes together with the Divine.

“We invite you to experience this union we speak of,” they said. “It’s nothing that you need to think about, talk about, or read about, though of course you can do all that. You can experience it!” they said. “This is why we have come…so you can live in union with God, live within the weave of love. So you can greet the Divine within each person you see. This is why we have come,” they repeated. “This is why we call you together and why we offer our empowerment. Our gift is freely given,” they said.

They laughed and said, “But you live in a culture that is based entirely on buying and selling, on salesmanship and marketing, and this has made you so wary, so distrustful that you don’t recognize the truth when it is staring you in the face. We aren’t asking anything of you,” they explained, shaking their heads in consternation. “We have come to give to you. We do the giving,” they said. “You do the living. So if you want to be happy, if you want to live at one with the Divine, then call on us.

“We never lie. We speak only truth and give only love. We are here for you,” they said and gave me a soft look. “We adore you. We know all your flaws and fears,” they said. “We know everything about you, and we adore you,” they repeated. “You don’t have to live in isolation, separation, and worry any longer,” they said. “That time is over. We are now making the turn to the light. Now you can live in the light all the time.

“At this very moment stand all around you,”, they said to me, “beside you and behind you, under you and above you. Enfolding you. We will always console, comfort and uplift you,” they said. And then they lifted their heads, stood especially tall and said, “We are the Grand Mothers. And we have come for you.”

Somewhere over the rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo 'Ole

2009-01-14T05:35:00.000-08:00

Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwo Ole

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?

Well I see trees of green and Red roses too,
I'll watch then bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more than
We'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?

Sometimes

2009-01-12T02:05:00.000-08:00

When I'm alone I hear the unspoken word of a friendly foe.
When I'm alone I hear nothing but the footsteps of my own fleeing sanity.
When I'm alone I hear the voice of the child, “Say it isn't so.”
When I'm alone I hear the the insults of my own vanity.
But only sometimes.

When I'm with you, you say you love me, but my mind does not compute it.
When I'm with you, a room cluttered with chairs separates us from the truth.
When I'm with you feelings of sorrow give it proof.
I hear friends speak of nothing on the realm of the happy kingdom.
I hear the sounds of laughter coming from very corner.
I hear the waves of friendly salvation as the rising of the sun.
I hear the voice of the child saying, “Come home, sweet Martyr.”
But only sometimes.

Sometimes I'm weak.
Sometimes I'm strong.
Sometimes I see.
Sometimes not.
Nothing lasts forever.

I wrote those on one of those nights I feeling really depressed.

Morning

2009-01-09T01:57:00.001-08:00

Morning

I was waking and heard a silver flute

when dawn was spreading its wings on the scenery.

I was waking and leaving my dream

where faeries danced in the chamomile.

When the sky became crystalline

and the curtain fondled the window sill,

my body was caressed by this morning breeze.

And through the window a martin flew into my room...

The Course of Miracles

2009-01-08T01:32:00.000-08:00

Mým jediným cílem je klid mysli, klid boží

Mou jedinou funkcí je umět odpouštět

Neudělám jediné rozhodnutí, aniž bych se předtím neporadil se svým vnitřním hlasem (šestý smysl, intuuice, hlas Boží...)

eudělám jediné rozhodnutí, aniž se předtím poradím se svým

vnitřním hlasem (kterému se rovněž říká šestý smysl, intuice, hlas

boží apod

Neudělám jediné rozhodnutí, aniž se předtím poradím se svým

vnitřním hlasem (kterému se rovněž říká šestý smysl, intuice, hlas

boží apod.)

"Kdybyste se mohl ocitnout na místě, po němž jste vždycky toužil, kde byste si odpočinul, uvolnil se, jaké místo by to bylo?“ Odpověď zněla: „Havaj.“ Tony poté manažerovi navrhl, aby zavřel oči a představil si, že je na Havaji, cítí se uvolněně a odpočatě, v souladu s teplým pískem, modrou oblohou i nádherným mořem. Pak dodal: „Víte, nemůžete se cítit uvolněně a odpočatě, v klidu a míru, pokud jste naštvaný. Pokud nebudete schopný odpustit – a nejen konkurenci, ale i onomu člověku, který od vás odešel, nebudete schopen najít moudré rozhodnutí. Když jim odpustíte – necháte celý incident odplout a zmizet."

"Nothing real can be threatened,
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the Peace of God"

Forgiveness offers everything I want.
Today I have accepted this as true.
Today I have received the gifts of God.

-A Course in Miracles, Lesson 122

Father, today I leave creation free to be itself. I honor all its parts, in which I am included. We are one because each part contains Your memory, and truth must shine in all of us as one. -A Course in Miracles, Lesson 243

How foolish are our fears! Would You allow Your Son to suffer? Give us faith today to recognize Your Son, and set him free. Let us forgive him in Your Name, that we may understand his holiness, and feel the love for him which is Your Own as well.
-A Course in Miracles, Lesson 240

Father, we would return our minds to You. We have betrayed them, held them in a vise of bitterness, and frightened them with thoughts of violence and death. Now would we rest again in You, as You created us. -A Course in Miracles, Lesson 249

Father, You have one Son. And it is he that I would look upon today. He is Your one creation. Why should I perceive a thousand forms in what remains as one? Why should I give this one a thousand names, when only one suffices? For Your Son must bear Your Name, for You created him. Let me not see him as a stranger to his Father, nor as stranger to myself. For he is part of me and I of him, and we are part of You Who are our Source, eternally united in Your Love; eternally the holy Son of God.

We who are one would recognize this day the truth about ourselves. We would come home, and rest in unity. For there is peace, and nowhere else can peace be sought and found. -A Course in Miracles, Lesson 262

I am under no laws but God's.
I am the light of the world.
That is my only function.
That is why I am here.

I am here only to be truly helpful.
I am here to represent Him Who sent me.
I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do, because He Who sent me will direct me.
I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He goes there with me.
I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal.
I must have decided wrongly, because I am not at peace.I made the decision myself, but I can also decide otherwise.
I want to decide otherwise, because I want to be at peace. I do not feel guilty, because the Holy Spirit will undo all the consequences of my wrong decision if I will let Him.I choose to let Him, by allowing Him to decide for God for me.

It is impossible to see two worlds

Lesson 130
“It is impossible to see two worlds.”

Perception is consistent. What you see reflects your thinking. And your thinking but reflects your choice of what you want to see. Your values are determiners of this, for what you value you must want to see, believing what you see is really there. No-one can see a world his mind has not accorded value. And no-one can fail to look upon what he believes he wants.

Yet who can really hate and love at once? Who can desire what he does not want to have reality? And who can choose to see a world of which he is afraid? Fear must make blind, for this its weapon is; that which you fear to see you cannot see. Love and perception thus go hand in hand, but fear obscures in darkness what is there.

What, then, can fear project upon the world? What can be seen in darkness that is real? Truth is eclipsed by fear, and what remains is but imagined. Yet what can be real in blind imaginings of panic borne? What would you want that this is shown to you? What would you wish to keep in such a dream?

Fear has made everything you think you see. All separation, all distinctions, and the multitude of differences you believe make up the world. They are not there. Love’s enemy has made them up. Yet love can have no enemy, and so they have no cause, no being and no consequence. They can be valued, but remain unreal. They can be sought, but they can not be found.

Today we will not seek for them, nor waste this day in seeking not what can be found. It is impossible to see two worlds which have no overlap of any kind. Seek for the one; the other disappears. But one remains. They are the range of choice beyond which your decision cannot go. The real and the unreal are all there is to choose between, and nothing more than these.

Today we will attempt no compromise where none is possible. The world you see is proof you have already made a choice as all-embracing as its opposite. What we would learn today is more than just the lesson that you cannot see two worlds. It also teaches that the one you see is quite consistent from the point of view from which you see it. It is all a piece because it stems from one emotion, and reflects its source in everything you see.

Six times today, in thanks and gratitude, we gladly give five minutes to the thought which ends all compromise and doubt, and go beyond them all as one. We will not make a thousand meaningless distinctions, nor attempt to bring with us a little part of unreality as we devote our minds to finding only what is real.

Begin your searching for the other world by asking for a strength beyond your own, and recognize what it is you seek. You do not want illusions. And you come to these five minutes emptying your hands of all the petty treasures of this world. You wait for God to help you, as you say:

“It is impossible to see two worlds.
Let me accept the strength God offers me
And see no value in this world, that I
May find my freedom and deliverance.”

God will be there. For you have called upon the great unfailing Power Who will take this giant step with you in gratitude. Nor will you fail to see His thanks expressed in tangible perception and in truth. You will not doubt what you will look upon. For though it is perception, it is not the kind of seeing that your eyes alone have ever seen before. And you will know God’s strength upheld as you made this choice.

Dismiss temptation easily today whenever it arises, merely by remembering the limits on your choice. The unreal or the real, the false or true is what you see, and only what you see. Perception is consistent with your choice, and hell or Heaven come to you as one.

Accept a little part of hell as real, and you have damned your eyes and cursed your sight, and what you will behold is hell indeed. Yet the release of Heaven still remains within your range of choice, to take the place of everything that hell would show to you. All you need say to any part of hell, whatever form it takes, is simply this:

“It is impossible to see two worlds.
I seek my freedom and deliverance,
And this is not a part of what I want.”

Not Taking Things Personally

2008-12-14T02:15:00.000-08:00

Several years ago I was in a group setting where we were practicing EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). EFT is a healing and energy balancing modality which stems from the core belief that "The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system." And "Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and diseases." (For more information kindly visit http://www.emofree.com.)
Through a process of tapping on the meridian points of the body, these energy disruptions or blockages can then be released and re-framed.

When I first began experiencing the discomfort of the higher energies hitting my blocked energy spots from toddler rapes, abuse, and much life trauma, this process was greatly helpful in the beginning stages. (Please note that as we progress through the ascension process, many kinds of healing only serve to take us back into spaces where we are no longer vibrating, and thus, healing is no longer needed and is even detrimental. Also, we eventually see that nothing needs to be "fixed" or is wrong once we reach a certain vibration. Our new little ones receiving vaccinations is another example of energies that are totally out of alignment and way too much of a stretch. The vaccinations contain very low level energy and this energy is extremely uncomfortable to these new and higher vibrating babies...and the vaccinations exist in another reality altogether! I am not suggesting or telling anyone what to do here, in this regard. My grandchildren still receive vaccinations, as my daughter feels that this is the right thing. It is always best to go with what feels right to you at the time, as this will place you in alignment with yourself.)

While we were tapping away one evening, something suddenly became vibrantly clear. One of the many wonderful things about EFT, is that is serves to give a person the clear and "real" version of things (without the human mis-perceptions and density). What became so blatantly obvious was that what holds us back so many times, is the human pattern of taking things personally. This is because we tend to view things from our ego stance, or dis-connect stance, or rather, through the filter of our blocked energy. We think that everything is about us.

"How can we not take things personally, when we only attract what we are vibrating in the first place?" you may wonder. What holds true for all of creation, or how creating works, is that we create from both sides. For example: Most of you who are reading this, realize that we are most certainly going through a spiritual evolutionary process while here in form. What created this process, and why did it begin in the first place? It is being fueled from the outside and from the inside. Our positioning in the universe, and the positioning of the planets, is creating it on the outside. So are the solar flares, and basically all of the cosmos. This is resulting in a raising of our vibration.
At the same time, we as human beings, and all the non-physical beings, are summoning this process from the inside. So then, everything is happening at once...culminating in one big creation that meets in a portal of creation in the middle.

Did the chicken lay the egg, or did the egg lay the chicken? Which came first? In all of creation, everything happens at once when vibrations reach a certain level of frequency. It is then that manifestation occurs when things culminate through like energies attracting like energies. Similar to always having everything we need, the pieces come together more easily when there is less density. So then, do we attract our experiences, or do our experiences attract us? And how does this relate to not taking things personally?

As we vibrate higher and higher, we shed off our density, or the lower vibrating aspects of ourselves. Higher and lower energies cannot exist in the same space, and we are now residing in a higher realm. We only react to things if they trigger something within us that is a match in vibration. As we begin to vibrate higher, we then begin to embody higher ways of being, and not reacting to the outside environment is one of these ways of being. Just like all of the nature kingdom, we eventually come to a place where we simply are. The more purified version of ourselves is composed of our special gifts and talents, our connection to Source, and not much else. In this way, we can be shining our brightest light the majority of the time. Everything else belongs to someone or something else.

There are times when we must visit the lower vibrating aspects of reality, as all of the earth is not yet in the same space of vibration and evolution. As always, we can spend time in the denser vibrations, but not for very long, as it is just too unpleasant and at times intolerable. This is the way it was intended. One way to "survive" while dropping down and visiting the lower vibrations is to simply shine our light as brightly as we can. This involves not taking things personally, or reacting to and becoming involved with the dramas that may be occurring. When we interact or respond to these lower vibrating dramas, we then become a part of them ourselves, and only serve to fuel and support them. In addition, reacting to any lower vibrating dramas (or creations) activates them within us as well (just as receiving certain types of healing does). Eventually, the energies that we have not yet released or balanced within us, simply become dormant. So when we are in a higher vibrating reality, they do not become activated; similar to the process of natural selection.

By simply being who we are at our highest levels, just like a flower would do, for instance, we are then able to raise the vibration we are in, as well as maintaining our own. Staying centered with who we truly are, while maintaining a connection to Source, is the best way to survive any visits to the denser realities. Most things on the outside eventually do not ever belong to us....period.

When we attract situations in our lives that create an emotional response, or charge, this is because we have a corresponding energy pattern that is connected to our dis-connect or ego selves. As we begin to evolve, we can still attract situations or see them unfolding around us, but if we have no particular feelings or emotions about them, then we are free and clear to be who we are at the highest levels. Not taking things personally is one way to do this. Energies we encounter are not always about us. This is one of the reasons I love writing the energy alerts. The energy alerts serve to show us that we are all one, having the same experience. In this way, we need not take things personally. When we all experience the same thing at the same time, we come to know then, that we have not done anything wrong, are not attracting a bad experience because we have an "issue," and everything is as it should be. We are just vibrating higher and going through the same stages of ascension at the same time. All is in perfect order, as this is what we came to do.

A man saw an old woman stooped over on a beach covered with starfish.

He asked her what she was doing, to which she replied, "I am throwing the starfish back into the sea; if I don't, they will dry up and die."

Laughing, the man said, "But Old Woman, there are so many starfish on the beach, you can't possibly make a difference."

She picked up a starfish and threw it back into the sea. Then looking at the man, she said, "I just did to that one."

The next day, the old woman visited the beach to check on the starfish. She saw the same man and his children throwing the starfish back into the sea. "Hello, Old Woman," he said with fulfillment in his eyes, "we are here to make a difference to a few more starfish."

Make yourself depression-proof

2008-05-06T01:10:00.000-07:00

You can make yourself recession-proof by making yourself depression-proof. Just apply these simple guidelines to your life, and find a calm and peace that you had forgotten could exist within you:

Do not associate yourself with negative people, naysayers, energy vampires and chronic critics;

Do not live beyond your means...there is no competition worth entering where you must worry daily about meeting huge bills. People do not generally steal and cut ethical corners when they do not have constant pressure upon them to "live bigger and spend more". It seems foolish to give the bulk of your money to a group of faceless creditors;

Do not become addicted to listening to the constant litany of negative news in the media -- read some good books and listen to some enjoyable music instead;

Dedicate some time to learn something new every day -- set aside time for hobbies and things that you enjoy...reward yourself;

Take a walk and get some fresh air every day -- don't stay cooped up and suffer from "cabin fever.";

Eat healthier, non-processed foods, and take time to prepare some of your own meals;

Exercise daily. In fact, develop an exercise regimen -- it will help you to feel alive and energetic;

Plan things ahead of time in order to avoid last-minute panic and stress. Determine in advance when you will shop, run errands, get your automobile serviced, etcetera;

Cultivate a circle of trustworthy friends in whom you can confide (no losers allowed in your circle!); and, most importantly,

Treat others as you would have them treat you - with respect, dignity and grace.

Simplify your life, and enjoy the journey!

Universal Laws

2008-05-01T20:12:00.000-07:00

Drs. Milanovich and McCune in The Light Shall Set You Free (1998) state there are 12 Universal Laws, and 21 sub-laws, that describe ways in which cause and effect are related. The Universal Laws can also be viewed as guidelines for behaviors that will enhance our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual growth. Dr. Bailey works with her clients to help them understand and apply these laws to their lives.

The Universal Laws are all inter-related and are founded on the understanding that everything in the universe is energy, including us, and that energy moves in a circular fashion. At the microscopic level, we are a whirling mass of electrons and energy atoms spinning rapidly. In fact, everything in the world is comprised of energy and we are intimately connected with this sea of energy, this sea of whirling electrons.

Our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions are all forms of energy. What we think, feel, say, and do in each moment comes back to us to create our realities. Energy moves in a circle, so what goes around comes around. The combined thoughts, feelings, words and actions of everyone on the planet creates our collective consciousness, it creates the world we see before us.

The exciting news is, because our thoughts, feelings, words and actions create the world around us, we have the power to create a world of peace, harmony and abundance. In order to do this, it is essential that we learn to control our thoughts and emotions. Understanding the Universals Laws help us to do this.

1. The Law of Divine Oneness:

The Law of Divine Oneness helps us to understand that we live in a world where everything is connected to everything else. Everything we do, say, think and believe affects others and the universe around us.

2. The Law of Vibration:

This Universal Law states that everything in the Universe moves, vibrates, and travels in circular patterns. The same principles of vibration in the physical world apply to our thoughts, feelings, desires, and wills in the Etheric world. Each sound, thing, and even thought has its own vibrational frequency, unique unto itself.

3. The Law of Action:

The Law of Action must be applied in order for us to manifest things on earth. Therefore, we must engage in actions that support our thoughts, dreams, emotions and words.

4. The Law of Correspondence:

This Universal Law states that the principles or laws of physics that explain the physical world – energy, Light, vibration, and motion – have their corresponding principles in the etheric or universe. “As above, so below.”

5. The Law of Cause and Effect:

This Universal Law states that nothing happens by chance or outside the Universal Laws. Every action has a reaction or consequence and we “reap what we have sown.”

6. The Law of Compensation:

This Universal Law is the Law of Cause and Effect applied to blessings and abundance that are provided for us. The visible effects of our deeds are given to us in gifts, money, inheritances, friendships, and blessings.

7. The Law of Attraction:

This Universal Law demonstrates how we create the things, events, and people that come into our lives. Our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions produce energies which, in turn, attract like energies. Negative energies attract negative energies and positive energies attract positive energies.

8. The Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy:

This Universal Law states that all persons have within them the power to change the conditions in their lives. Higher vibrations consume and transform lower ones; thus, each of us can change the energies in our lives by understanding the Universal Laws and applying the principles in such a way as to effect change.

9. The Law of Relativity:

This Universal Law states that each person will receive a series of problems (Tests of Initiation) for the purpose of strengthening the Light within. We must consider each of these tests to be a challenge and remain connected to our hearts when proceeding to solve the problems. This law also teaches us to compare our problems to others’ problems and put everything into its proper perspective. No matter how bad we perceive our situation to be, there is always someone who is in a worse position. It is all relative.

10. The Law of Polarity:

This Universal Law states that everything is on a continuum and has an opposite. We can suppress and transform undesirable thoughts by concentrating on the opposite pole. It is the law of mental vibrations.

11. The Law of Rhythm:

This Universal Law states that everything vibrates and moves to certain rhythms. These rhythms establish seasons, cycles, stages of development, and patterns. Each cycle reflects the regularity of God’s universe. Masters know how to rise above negative parts of a cycle by never getting too excited or allowing negative things to penetrate their consciousness.

12. The Law of Gender:

This Universal Law states that everything has its masculine (yang) and feminine (yin) principles, and that these are the basis for all creation. The spiritual Initiate must balance the masculine and feminine energies within herself or himself to become a Master and a true co-creator with God.

Sub-laws

In addition to the 12 Universal Laws there are 21 sub-laws of the Universe that are governed by the Higher Self. Using Milanovich and McCune’s stellar work, Dr. Bailey works with her clients to understand and apply these laws to their lives by first differentiating between the voice of the ego and that of the Higher Self, and then by practicing techniques designed to align one’s self with her or his Higher Self.

The 21 sub-laws are actually human characteristics that relate to the Universal Laws. These characteristics are: Aspiration to A Higher Power, Charity, Compassion, Courage, Dedication, Faith, Forgiveness, Generosity, Grace, Honesty, Hope, Joy, Kindness, Leadership, Noninterference, Patience, Praise, Responsibility, Self-Love, Thankfulness, and Unconditional Love.

Frequency Alignment

2008-04-04T12:21:00.000-07:00

You are in each moment choosing your own frequency alignment. You are choosing which reality you will experience. The spotlight is on you as you, yourself, consciously align with the energies of Love, you are also serving Spirit in the best possible way. Frequency is contagious. For many eons, the frequencies of fear have been a contagion upon your plane. Now the frequencies of love are entering in and the long awaited and prophesied shift is occurring..

It is the shifting within each one of you that is creating the shifting in your outer world. The new station is moving much closer to being fully functional. As you, yourself, are able to tune this new station in, align with its higher frequency, you will be assisting many others in their alignment as well. You will be emitting a strong signal for others to pick up..

We know that some of you, having read thus far, are still having fearful thoughts about what may happen in your world and to you personally. Know this, Beloved Ones, the more clearly you are aligned with the frequencies of Love, the more your life will flow with grace and ease. It cannot be otherwise..

The more of you who align together in the frequency of love, the more your collective planetary shifting will occur with grace and ease. You will not notice that anything is amiss. Do not concern yourself with that over which you have no control. Instead, focus completely on finding your peace within..

Inasmuch as possible, remove yourself from all sources of stress, antagonism and fear. Seek nurturance with those who resonate at the frequencies most close to your own. If you find yourself needing to change locations, change your personal relationships; do that. That which causes you unhappiness will keep you also in the lower frequencies of fear. Although you live on a plane of free will, we in the higher dimensions are here to assist you in every possible way. You must ask, though, you must call it forth.. you must desire to move higher than fear!

Radiating Your Essence

2008-04-03T10:40:00.000-07:00

What is your essence? Do you know?

by Scott and Shannon Peck

We can know someone’s essence by describing their core values. For example, someone may exude joy, generosity, creativity or love.

You can also learn someone’s essence by describing their energy. For example, what are the top words you’d use to describe your core essence and energy? Some people’s energy is calm or peaceful. Others exude the energy of compassion or giving. Here are words describing people’s primary energy that a group came up with at a recent workshop: big and beautiful, sweet and praising, pure, enthusiastic, authentic, feminine, highly aware, unifier, innocent, beautiful, poised, loving and principled. There are a million words to describe people’s energies.

Have you come up with your five yet? Please do, because the first step of radiating your essence is knowing your essence!

Our unique essence often remains hidden because we don’t identify it or celebrate it. How would you like to live in a world where everyone celebrated your essence? They would be acknowledging, celebrating and honoring the primary qualities that best describe you. By doing so, it would continually remind you of who you really are, how valuable you are and how you are being perceived by others in successful ways. How wonderful would that be? And how wonderful would it be for you to be the one doing that for others.

One way to get started on celebrating your essence is through observing your inner talk. Rather than judging or condemning yourself with inner statements such as, “I’m not pretty or handsome. I’m not important. No one cares. I’m not loveable or capable,” you’d practice inner love talk that celebrates your true self – based on how you have identified your core self. For example, you’d remind yourself, “I have inner beauty. I am good. I am valuable and loveable. I am a treasure. What I carry in my heart is beautiful. I am love. I am worthy of expressing my radiance.

The reason we are so confident that you can easily celebrate your essence once you identify it is that everyone’s true self is basically composed of goodness. It’s time to go back to the roots of our original goodness and call it forward to shine.

No doubt, as you contemplate radiating your essence, the first thing that comes up is the negative response from those you anticipate won’t appreciate your lovely efforts of sharing with them your radiance. In fact, the mere thought of these people may even make you cringe in anticipation of their inevitable criticism.

So how do you get past that one? Here’s one way:

Rely on your inner radar to tell you when it’s safe for your essence to shine. It may be with only a few people that you feel emotionally safe enough to share your unguarded inner self. Those, then will be the ones you will begin with radiating your essence. When you are around these people, dare to summon the courage to somehow shine forth.

For instance, if you identify yourself primarily as a nurturer, a healer or a clown (those three words are a good description of Shannon’s essence), be sure to express that deliberately and even exaggerate these qualities when you are with one of those people with whom you feel emotionally safe. Notice how far you can go without drawing back. And notice the response you get. Since these are persons who accept you as you are, ask them for feedback on what they most enjoyed in your essence sharing. As you do this, you’ll gain more confidence in being the real you.

Scott shares his primary core self by his energies of warmth, embracing others with his strength of empowering them to go higher and his desire to unify and bring people together. When he’s doing this, he feels he’s living at one with his true self. When he doesn’t radiate this essence, he (as all of us do) feels lost, uninspired and doubtful about his value. What if we or you, fail to radiate our essence? This would be a terrible loss – to the universe. On some days we forget who we are. We all do this. But our desire and commitment to remember to practice who we are at a nine or ten will bring all of us to a higher vibration of love.

It’s better to give yourself lots of room to make mistakes and goof up than to continue the pattern of holding back. It would be a great loss if everyone on the planet shared their radiance at a six rather than at a ten. Practice being a ten yourself and sharing with others what you yourself would love to receive of their radiance. It will begin a new wave of love on earth! Welcome to the heart of love.

Strayed from the Sacred Way

2008-04-03T10:33:00.000-07:00

Elder's Meditation of the Day - April 3

"We know that in all creation
Only the human family
Has strayed from the Sacred Way"

--OJIBWA Prayer

How have we gotten so far off track? What has happened to us? What is happening to our family? How did it happen so quickly? Every individual needs to answer these questions for themselves. What do we need to do to start living the Sacred Way again? Pray! Today I will start praying. I pray the Creator will lead all Native People to a great healing. I pray we'll be free from alcohol and drugs.

I pray we will return to the culture, to spirituality and to unity.

My Mother, help us to heal ourselves.
Make us strong again.

Sometimes (Nothing Lasts Forever)

2008-03-30T10:54:00.000-07:00

I feel the world breathing its ugliness into my mind.
I feel the evil spirit of indecision eating at my soul.
I feel the nightmares of misty voices of faces I can not find.
feel the day's emptiness of a forgotten life taking its tool.
But only sometimes.

When I'm alone I hear the unspoken word of a friendly foe.
When I'm alone I hear nothing but the footsteps of my own fleeing sanity.
When I'm alone I hear the voice of the child, “Say it isn't so.”
When I'm alone I hear the the insults of my own vanity.
But only sometimes.

When I'm with you, you say you love me, but my mind does not compute it.
When I'm with you, a room cluttered with chairs separates us from the truth.
When I'm with you feelings of sorrow give it proof.
I hear friends speak of nothing on the realm of the happy kingdom.
I hear the sounds of laughter coming from very corner.
I hear the waves of friendly salvation as the rising of the sun.
I hear the voice of the child saying, “Come home, sweet Martyr.”
But only sometimes.

Sometimes I'm weak.
Sometimes I'm strong.
Sometimes I see.
Sometimes not.
Nothing lasts forever.

I wrote those on one of those nights I feeling really depressed.

Balance

2008-03-08T05:40:00.000-08:00

"Balance is implicit in the Red Road. When you're on the Red Road, you are in the center. Yet, you do not go to either extreme, and you allow both sides to exist. This is accomplished by continually postponing surrendering to temptation, whatever it may be. It is saying ..later' instead of ..no.'"
--Dr. A.C. Ross (Ehanamani), LAKOTA

The Sacred Path of life has a middle, a left side, and a right side. As human beings, we are designed to walk this middle path as much as we can. As we walk, we will stray to the left and to the right and come back to the middle. Straying to the left or right side is as sacred as being in the middle. Sometimes we call this straying our mistakes. We are designed by the Creator to walk to Sacred Path of life, and realize that our mistakes are the source of lessons. These lessons give us our wisdom. It is not wrong that we are tempted. What matters is what we do with the temptation.

Great Spirit, today, let me enjoy the Sacred Path of Life.

Do you Acknowledge Your Emotions?

2007-11-14T12:25:00.000-08:00

Many of us believe that we need to keep a tight lid on our emotions. We fear that if we ever allow these emotions to be expressed, they will do serious damage.

But if we summon up the courage to truly feel our emotions, we discover that they don't last. The monster in the closet turns out to be a pussycat. In fact, if we are willing to experience our emotions completely, without resistance of any kind, they burn themselves out in only a few minutes.

The only thing that keeps emotions alive within you over long periods is your unwillingness to acknowledge them.

How much does a miracle cost?

2007-11-12T13:05:00.000-08:00

Tess was a precocious eight years old when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money. They were moving to an apartment complex next month because Daddy didn't have the money for the doctor bills and our house. Only a very costly surgery could save him now and it was looking like there was no-one to loan them the money. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother with whispered desperation, "Only a miracle can save him now."

Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Store with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door.

She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too intently talking to another man to be bothered by an eight year old at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster. No good. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it!

"And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. "I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages," he said without waiting for a reply to his question.

"Well, I want to talk to you about my brother," Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. "He's really, really sick ... and I want to buy a miracle."

"I beg your pardon?" said the pharmacist.

"His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?"

"We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you." the pharmacist said, softening a little.

"Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs."

The pharmacist's brother was a well dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of a miracle does you brother need?"

"I don't know," Tess replied with her eyes welling up. "I just know he's really sick and Mommy says he needs a operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money. "How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago.

"One dollar and eleven cents," Tess answered barely audibly. "And it's all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to."

"Well, what a coincidence," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents -- the exact price of a miracle for little brothers." He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her and said "Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need."

That well dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in neuro-surgery. The operation was completed without charge and it wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well. Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place. "That surgery," her mom whispered. "was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?"

Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost... one dollar and eleven cents... plus the faith of a little child.

On the Love Frequency of Heart

2007-11-04T07:22:00.000-08:00

In the dying age of a patriarchy a pattern of domination and control was developed. The use of power and control, which employed fear, blame and manipulation, was glorified. The society was ruled by the paradigms of greed, anger, war and money – under the hypocritical mask of so called SUCCESS.

This control was based upon an illusion of INDIVIDUALITY and separateness, the fuel was fear and guilt. The main question for survival have always been this one: Would I survive without the stronger? But they instead of protecting the weaker, the stronger were enslaving them.

Giant global economical chain corporations are literally forcing us with their commercials to CONSUME unnecessary products and services, BORROW „bargain“ money from banks, and SPEND gas for delivering comodities which can be provided locally. Why apples from abroad are advertised to be better and more delicious then those home-born? And how is it possible that they are even cheaper, even if they were transported many hundreds kilometers?

It is not any more PARANOIC to ask if there is a kind of collusion among those in positions of leadership... with the aim of interests and agenda of a (how big?) greedy elite.

However this system is becoming unmaintainable – more and more people are asking the rulers „unpleasant“ questions and trying to change their lifestyles into greener. And not only basic sustenance for survival is on the horizont, but even more! There is dawning a COMPLETE ABUNDANCE – for those who can in their hearts resonate with the love frequency of so called feminine aspects – discretion, receptiveness, care.

But is there enough for everybody on the planet? The answer is: definitely yes! There are so many people all over the world, and each of them has different needs and dreams. Not everybody wants to be o rock star, someone prefers having a comfortable flat in a historical centre of a city to a house with a pool and dobermans…

If you think that there would be shortage if everybody were allowed to get what they want, than it would be a real paranoia. Why do you consider that everybody think and feel the way you do?

The upcoming age of “Goddess“, of the preference of the right brain hemisphere, love and care, isn't about “matriarchy“ of competitive female fighters and the rule from the „kitchen cockpit“; it is about LOVE. About REAL LOVE which doesn't pose any condition for being able to love, but LOVE which LOVES for being you just you, for being what you are.

The female energy of our hearts radiates love, unity, cooperation and ONENESS. The aim is not any more taking, competing, degrading and saving, but sharing, respecting, nurturing and caring.

Let's shine this uplifting and loving energy together. Since by helping others we are being helped too…

Find your garden!

2007-11-04T01:50:00.000-07:00

Let me tell you a story about a guy who found his garden.

I think he has demonstrated tremendous courage. He had a long-standing but unhealthy marriage, with a wife who had been his best friend for over a decade. He was firmly established with friends and family in Maine, all the while knowing his spirit was sort of dying there. He hated the cold, he hated the energy of the city he lived in, he was truly sick and tired of his work and his life.

He tolerated this (suffered?) for a long time. And then he left.

He left the marriage. He left the work. He left the friends and family. He left the city, and the climate.

He had the courage to replant himself in a garden which is actually right for him. He thrives in the sun and the feel of Florida. He explores new and fresh aspects of what he can do for people professionally. And best of all, he plays music every day. He has new, freer friends. While everything isn’t perfect, he is finally in the right place and he feels it.

Now that’s courage.

What plunge are you longing to take? What garden do you long to grow in?

Examine Your Goals Carefully

A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.

"Not very long," answered the Mexican.

"But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American.

The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.

The American asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, play the guitar, and sing a few songs... I have a full life."

The American interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard, and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."

"And after that?" asked the Mexican.

"With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."

"How long would that take?" asked the Mexican.

"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the American.

"And after that?"

"Afterwards? Well my Friend, That's when it gets really interesting," answered the American, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start selling stocks and make millions!"

"Millions? Really? And after that?" said the Mexican.

"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings doing what you like and enjoying your friends."

And the moral is:

Know where you're going in life...

You may already be there…

About Two Wolves

2007-11-02T01:46:00.000-07:00

An old Grandfather, whose grandson came to him with anger at a schoolmate who had done him an injustice, said, "let me tell you a story. I too, at times, have felt a great hate for those who have taken so much, with no sorrow for what they do.

But hate wears you down, and does not hurt your enemy. It is like taking poison and wishing your enemy would die. I have struggled with these feelings many times."

He continued, "It is as if there are two wolves inside me; one is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not také offense when no offense was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do so, and in the right way.

"But the other wolf, ah! He is full of anger. The littlest thing will set him into a fit of temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so great. It is hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit."

The boy looked intently into his Grandfather's eyes and asked, "Which one wins, Grandfather?"

The Grandfather solemnly said, "The one I feed."

Two Men at Hospital

2007-11-01T01:45:00.000-07:00

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.

One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.

His bed was next to the room's only window.

The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.

Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it. In his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days and weeks passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.

It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.'

Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.

Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money
can't buy.

'Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present.'

Footprints

2007-10-31T01:40:00.000-07:00

One night a man had a dream. He dreamt he was walking along the beach with the God. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to God.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints, he also noticed that it happend at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really botherd him and he questioned God about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow You, You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed You most You would leave me."

And God replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you..."

The Blind Men and the Elephant

2007-10-30T01:36:00.000-07:00

It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.

The First approached the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
“God bless me! But the Elephant
Is very like a wall!”

The Second feeling the tusk,
Cried, “Ho, what have we here,
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me ‘tis mighty clear
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear!”

The Third approached the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
“I see,” quoth he, “the Elephant
Is very like a snake!”

The Fourth reached out an eager hand,
And felt about the knee.
“What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain,” quoth he;
“’Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree!”

The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said: “E’en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a fan!”

The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Than, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
“I see,” quoth he, “the Elephant
Is very like a rope!”

And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!

John Godfrey Saxe (1816-1887)

The hundredth monkey

2007-10-29T01:34:00.000-07:00

The Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata, were provided with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. ... The monkeys liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant. … One of the monkeys found she could solve the problem in a nearby stream. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers, too. …

Let us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes. …

Let's further suppose that later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes.

THEN IT HAPPENED!

By that evening almost everyone in the tribe was washing sweet potatoes before eating them.

The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough!

When a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind.

Two Brothers

2007-10-28T01:28:00.001-07:00

Two brothers worked together on the family farm. One was married and had a large family. The other was single. At the day's end, the brothers shared everything equally, produce and profit. Then one day the single brother said to himself, "It's not right that we should share equally the produce and the profit. I'm alone and my needs are simple." So each night he took a sack of grain from his bin and crept across the field between their houses, dumping it into his brother's bin.

Meanwhile, the married brother said to himself, "Its not right that we should share the produce and the profit equally. After all, I'm married and I have my wife and my children to look after me in years to come. My brother has no one, and no one to take care of his future." So each nite, he took a sack of grain and dumped it into his single brother's bin.

Both men were puzzled for years because their supply of grain never dwindled. Then one dark nite the two brothers bumped into each other. Slowly it dawned on them what was happening. They dropped their sacks and embraced one another.

The Butterfly

2007-10-27T23:54:00.000-07:00

A man found a cocoon for a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through the little hole.

Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and could go no farther. Then the man decided to help the butterfly.

He took a pair of scissors and snipped the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily.

Something was strange. The butterfly had a swollen body and shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.

Neither happened. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and deformed wings. It was never able to fly.

What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand, was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the small opening of the cocoon are God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.

If God allowed us to go through all our life without any obstacles, that would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been.

Not only that, we could never fly.
