FOOD FOR THOUGHT - TIME OF YOUR LIFE

Source: desktopaper.com

Another beauty from the fab folks at Insight of the Day - a poem by Linda Ellis to assist you in reflecting on the year past and this new one just birthed.

Linda Ellis is a speaker, author and poet. You have probably seen her work in a poem called The Dash.

Lots of food for thought here to reflect on how we dance  life. Do let me know what you think about it.

Time of Your Life

 

Do you reflect upon the years gone by
as you prepare for yet one more,
with promises and resolutions
that you have made before?

 

Do memories of people and places
once as sharp as any knife
now blend in bits and pieces
in a kaleidoscope of life?

 

Do you squander precious minutes
seeking reasons why you're here, 
contemplating your life's purpose
year after passing year?

 

Persuade yourself to understand,
it matters not the reason.
Your purpose is to seize the life
in every passing season!

 

Learn to see things differently.
Let your thoughts and actions change.
Allow your views of past and present
to slowly rearrange.

 

Let your spirit start anew;
become focused and aware
of the moments and the blessings
that surround you everywhere!

 

Do not permit past memories:
the where…the who…the how
to become more important
than the ones you’re making now.

 

Live life in person;
inhabit every day.
You may not like where you are now,
but you’re there anyway!

 

A lifetime is a puzzle,
every failure, each success
adds another jagged piece
to fit together with the rest.

 

To finish the picture
and view the masterpiece whole,
fill the time of your life
with your heart and your soul.

 

Acquaint yourself with your feelings
and heighten your senses.
Experience living.
Put down your defenses.

 

You don't have to know why
you are you, and I’m me.
Believe it is what it is
and it’s how it should be.

 

You did not choose your date of birth,
nor do you know your last,
so live this gift that is your present,
before it becomes your past.

5 Daily Practices to Help You Forgive - It Will Cure Whatever Ails You

Forgiveness will cure whatever ails you.
Iyanla Vanzant

The number one topic our customers ask us about is forgiveness. We get hundreds of calls to our office and hundreds of comments on our social media pages each day from people who want more advice on how to forgive—their families, friends, partners, coworkers or just themselves.

It was in early 2000. I certainly heard about Iyanla for many years, but didn't get the chance to meet her until I talked to our attorney. 

Ken, who was also Iyanla's attorney, had some insight about Hay House and Iyanla working together, so he arranged for us to meet. After a brief meeting in Los Angeles, I was very moved by the ideas that Iyanla had. So I flew to DC to find out more.

I had dinner with Iyanla and her daughter Gemmia in Georgetown. I remember that evening so clearly. I loved every minute of the time and conversation we shared.

Iyanla and her daughter were amazing. When I saw how passionate they were about helping others to heal and grow, I knew we shared a similar vision. We kept in touch after that, with more ideas on how to bring Iyanla's message to Hay House.

Then the unthinkable happened. Gemmia was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. And on Christmas morning the following year, Iyanla hugged her daughter for the last time.

As a parent, I couldn't imagine the painful journey Iyanla now faced. I remember some of the words she wrote at that time: "My daughter wasn't the only one who died that day." Iyanla named her family, her marriage, her ministry, her faith in God, her purpose and so many other things among the fatalities. "Most important of all, when my best friend, my middle child, took her last breath, my sense of self died along with her. I was a woman whose dance card was suddenly filled with death and whose heart has shattered into a million pieces."

But somehow, she turned around and did the unthinkable. Iyanla dug deep, learned how to see beyond her wounds and pick up the pieces. Somehow Iyanla found forgiveness and peace—even after all she had been through.

Iyanla is a great teacher. She tells it like it is. She lets us know how we get caught up in our stuff, how we get stuck in our relationships and our drama of what other people have done to us. She says we're too quick to judge and too slow to forgive. But what I love about Iyanla and her new book is how she gives us a plan to put into action: 21 Days to Forgive Everyone for Everything.

As Iyanla says: "You cannot unhear what you have heard. You cannot unsee what you have seen. What you can do, however, is stop wishing that whatever happened in the past hadn't happened."
And she ought to know.

Reid Tracy , Hay House (Present Moments)

5 Daily Practices to Help You Forgive
Iyanla Vanzant

What I have learned during my 30-year sojourn through the science of personal and spiritual growth and healing is that forgiveness will cure whatever ails you. The other thing I am totally convinced of is that while forgiveness ain't easy, it's the most important inner work you can do within your mind and heart.

Most of us were never taught that any experience that comes into your life comes by energetic invitation. For this reason, it is imperative that you learn how to keep your energy clear. The practice of forgiveness is your ticket to clarity, vitality, and freedom.

Over the years, I have received hundreds of thousands of letters written by people from all walks of life. Many reveal excruciating stories of sorrow and suffering. At one time, I would write long responses, offering condolences and possible explanations for the tragedies people had endured.

Then my daughter passed away, and I was inconsolable. I ended a 40-year relationship, and I was enraged. I was forced to move out of my dream home, and I was ashamed and degraded.

If you know anything about my life story, you know that I have been to some very dark places. Through every experience of my "life breakdown," the only thing that made me feel as if I was still in possession of my right mind, with the capacity to make it through the darkness, was forgiveness.

Even when I didn't know whom to forgive or why I should forgive, I said the words. I wrote them in my journal. I cried and screamed, pouted and sometimes I even stomped my feet in resistance, but in the end I learned to forgive everyone for everything, including myself. In the process, I discovered something extraordinary. I discovered peace.

My new book Forgiveness: 21 Days to Forgive Everyone for Everything is my loving challenge for you to come out of the darkness and into the light. In it, I share my practice that will help you to clear the decks of your mind and heart to create the space necessary for you to live with more love for yourself and others.

1- Still Your Mind — Begin your day by stilling your mind for at least 5 minutes. You can also listen to one of your favorite meditations.

2- Begin a Forgiveness Journal — Get yourself a Forgiveness Journal and a special pen and start writing. Give yourself permission to be radically honest with yourself about yourself. Write your most heartfelt thought or memory to access your innermost thoughts and beliefs.

3- Read a Forgiveness Prayer — Read a Forgiveness prayer twice a day—once silently and once aloud. Hearing this prayer will align you with the Holy Spirit, as it is the presence of the Creator that responds to our slightest request. Here is a sample of a Forgiveness prayer from my book:

Dear God:

Today, I ask for and open myself to receive a new image of myself. I recognize that in Your eyes, I am perfect as I am. I understand that if there is anything about my body that I choose to change, You have empowered me to do so. I have the power of free will. I have the power of choice. Today, I am choosing to change how I see myself, change how I speak to myself, change how I present myself to the world. I am choosing to see myself as You see me. I am choosing to surrender, release, and heal all negative, toxic, unloving thoughts about my body and to accept myself as Your beautiful creation. I ask, if there is anything within me that is not pleasing to You, that it be lifted. I ask that all habitual, unconscious thoughts, beliefs, and memories about my body be brought into alignment with Your thoughts, beliefs, and plans for me. I ask for the strength and courage to make any changes that are required so that I will accept myself, honor myself, and love myself as You do.

  I let it be!  And so it is!

4- Relax and Restore — Listen to my Gratitude Meditation that I have included here. This meditation will help to restore your mind and heart to balance.

5- Be Sure To Do something good for yourself today!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Commit Yourselves to Causes to Make a Difference



Source: 4.bp.blogspot.com

We are more apt to judge ourselves to be valuable as individuals when we have committed ourselves to causes that allow us to make a difference in the lives of others.

Our ability to make a favorable assessment of ourselves is based on the fact that we have evidence of our worth in the form of the gratitude we have received for our contributions.

As part of something larger than ourselves, we can promote the values most important to us through positive action. We not only give voice to the principles we hold dear but we also ensure they can flourish by providing a foundation of selflessness. Since we feel useful, we can clearly see that the world would be a very different place if we ceased to exist.

The aid and succor you give others today will help you understand how important you are. DailyOM

BE INSPIRED - My Day's Work is Over

My Day’s Work Is Over

from Napoleon Hill Yesterday and Today Issue 348

My Day’s work is over and I am ready to relax my body in sleep. I have summoned my Cabinet of imaginary Counselors around me that I may consult their master minds in planning for the morrow.
I can all but hear the immortal Shakespeare who sits at my right, as he says: “To thine own self be true and it must follow as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.”

And, I can all but hear Lincoln, who sits at my left, as he says: “With charity for all and malice toward none.”

Source: Hub en Gerie

And, I can all but hear proud old Socrates as he says: “And you, too, judges, must face death with a good courage, and believe this as a truth, that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.”

And, I can all but hear that master philosopher, Emerson, as he says: “Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.”

And, I can all but hear the Man of Galilee as he says: “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.”

The Counsel Table around which I gather, with these great men of the past each night, is an imaginary one, but the messages which they left behind them are real, and I am using this method of burning them deeply into my consciousness, that their influence may find its way into the pattern after which my character is being built.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT - The Power of Your Charisma

THE POWER of your charm might win others over today, which may make you feel captivating. Using your appeal to get the things you want might make it seem as if you have control over others, but your magnetism coupled with an ability to listen to people could be the reason why you are able to effectively influence people.

Listening carefully to others by using several of your senses may increase the amount of charisma you exude today. As you interact with others, you might want to listen not only to their words but also to the cadence of their speech and their intonation.

Also, look at their body language and facial expressions to glean additional information about their true feelings. Being able to read others in this way can contribute to their perception that you are available to them due to your awareness of their needs.

CHARISMA is only useful if we are conscientious about the people and environments around us. Relying solely on our personality can be risky, for we are more apt to put our own needs before those of others.

IF WE  train ourselves to be more attentive to the external signals of others, however, we can use the appealing aspects of our personality to better persuade and influence them.

CHARM, after all, is about understanding how to best meet the wishes of others. By understanding the true nature of your appeal and learning how to use it in a positive way today, others will be willing to listen to and accept your ideas. DailyOM

FOOD FOR THOUGHT - What is The Golden Rule?

Call to ACTION Action - Assignment #33:
from Napoleon Hill Yesterday and Today, Issue 343

This week’s assignment comes to you from the desk of Napoleon Hill. It is a great fit with the readings for this week, and good philosophical food for thought. Read on and then journal your responses, ideas, thoughts as you consider what Dr. Hill has to say to each of us below.

A suggestion:
Look around in your community and find some man who you know lives for the purpose of accumulating money. Find some man—and alas, you can find such men—for whom any amount of money is too little and no amount is too much.

He will almost certainly be a man who has little conscience about how he acquires his money, for conscience can be a hindrance when your horizon is nothing but a line of empty money bags to be filled.

Observe this man. Look for warmth in his soul; you will not find it, unless the subject of discussion is money. Watch for a warm, human welcome in his smile; you will not see it—he smiles like a shark. Notice how little he displays an enjoyment of life.

Oh, he may go through various expensive motions of enjoyment, but that is something else again. In the humane sense of the word, such a man is not really human. He is an automaton—a money-making machine. Yet many will envy that mechanical man. They will point to what they call his success.

Can there be success without happiness? Any really human person knows the two must go together as partners in a worthwhile life.

No man who thinks that happiness lies in having too much ever will be happy. No man can be truly happy until he translates the words of the Golden Rule into deeds, and shares happiness with others.

Moreover, the Golden Rule was not meant to be enforced like taxes. The sharing of happiness brings happiness when the sharing is voluntary, with no other object than to give. Source: Grow Rich! With Peace of Mind. Ballantine Books. 1996. Pg. 186.

WHAT IS THE GOLDEN RULE---REALLY?
by Napoleon Hill

WE SHOULD NOT content ourselves with the merest crumbs from life’s table, and we should not attempt to grab too much.

THE GOLDEN RULE often seems to act as a great leveler in assuring that this shall be so. It creates an ever-present spirit of kindly consideration for the needs and rights of others, so that without thought of gain (which so often is twisted by small minds into grabbing) the mind infused with the Golden Rule acquires a sense of what constitutes its own true ability to give.

GIVING BEGETS receiving: there is a to-and-fro passage of wealth which may not reflect itself in a swollen bank account, but does reflect itself in a mind which has known such wealth. In this lies happiness, peace and health which a man merely rich in money may never know.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT - Prayer to Cleanse the Currency

I JUST FOUND Peggy Black's Prayer to cleanse the currency and it hit me like a ton of bricks when I started reading it I felt such a powerful connection in my chest react to it, I was amazed. It felt right!

I have copied it below and I ask you all who feel this is right for you to use this Prayer and share it as widely as possible. Careful now, this is nothing religious eh. It is simply an intention directed to the Universe, Source, God or whatever name you use, for the upliftment of the whole in which you participate.

Why is this so important? Because the majority of us have money problems and that is abnormal. The Universe is there to provide all our needs, financial included yet money and the lack of it is our biggest bugbear. Something's screwy with that and this seems like a great way to fix it.

Here's a perfect example of what's wrong with us financially speaking. I heard a conversation quite recently where one woman was insulting the other saying that she wants no dirty money like the other woman has from prostituting herself.

What struck me about their conversation is that both women are homeless, live in a shelter for homeless people and obsess about money and talk of nothing else all day long. Both are tight-fisted and manipulative and cannot resist each other's company. My instinctive thought was while listening to them was "There's nothing dirty about money" and since I have my own challenges/fears with not having enough and where am I going to get it to buy such and such... see it's the same fear. When money "rears its ugly head", see again... that folks is the barrier we have created AGAINST prosperity and abundance.

Test yourself by writing down a few thoughts whenever you think about money and you'll see I'm HAHAHA right on the money.

We are also very aware that our financial institutions the world over are fucked up, screwing us royally and making money hand over fist yet we the people everywhere don't seem to profit. Those financial crashes aren't happening by accident.

This is our opportunity, yours and mine, to do our part in cleansing our financial aura for the good of us all. This is transformation and transmutation, and attracting abundance right here.

Be sure to read the entire Call to Action which follows the Prayer.

PRAYER TO CLEANSE THE CURRENCY by Peggy Black

I call upon the beloved I AM, the All That Is the Divine Source, Angels, Archangels and the Celestial Realms of Love and Light to support and assist this process.

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve with others as we unite to transform the matrix of our financial reality as we cleanse and clear all currency of any energetic discordance.

With clear intention I envision the currency and money being energetically cleansed.

I envision this currency now going out blessing everyone and everything it touches. I envision the power of the Pure White Light and the Violet Flame of Transmutation, moving through all banks and financial institutions uplifting and cleansing the entire monetary reality of the world. With this action of sacred service I join with others to transmute anything unlike the highest and the best financial well-being for all.

I allow this transforming process to include all aspects of my personal financial reality, the money that I earn, spend, save and the money I owe. All my financial beliefs and transactions are blessed and uplifted.

It is with gratitude that I now accept the Divine blessings of abundance of in my life and in the lives of the global family. Abundance of prosperity, health, peace, joy and financial grace I now accept for myself and all humanity. So Be It and So it is

A CALL TO ACTION

I am Peggy Black and this is a Call to Action.

I invite you to participate, with the powerful intention to energetically cleanse all the currency and money. Together we will shift, heal and transform the matrix of the monetary system. Please network this invitation everywhere.

We live in a sea of vibrations, everything and everyone is frequency. We are becoming aware of our true power to influence the Quantum field with our words, emotions and intentions. This truth is especially powerful when we join together as a conscious collective with one common goal and one focused intention for global change.

Imagine that all currency carries a frequency and vibrational contamination of lack, scarcity, fear, and greed that is energetically attached to the money that we receive and use each day. Think of all the places this money has traveled and all the individuals who have touched this currency leaving an energetic trace of their emotional state and beliefs. Be very aware that you bring this contaminated energy into your wallets and your life. You have the opportunity to use your power of intention to energetically cleanse all the money that comes into your life each and every day.

In the sacred space of your mind and heart or each time you go to your store, the bank or financial institution with earnest intention offer this service to the Quantum field, the field of all possibilities. In your imagination, meditations or prayers and when you are at the bank, or the store consciously invite Divine Source, Angels, Archangels, Masters and Celestial Beings to assist in this process of clearing the currency and money of all energetic discordance. Now imagine the currency and money going out blessing everyone and everything it touches. Envision yourself connected to Divine Source, the money matrix and all others doing this sacred service each day with each monetary transaction. Imagine the shift in the monetary system when you along with other conscious, enlightened beings offer this transforming service to humanity.

This service of cleansing the currency can be done anytime and any place as often as possible. As you hold money in your hand and envision its connection to the entire matrix, you can take your check book, a bank statement, your mortgage payment, credit card bills, or your tax statement, the things that would symbolize your financial reality and energetically clean it with Pure White Light or the Violet Flame of Transmutation and bless them with gratitude. Do this service each day. This process will transform all aspects of your personal financial reality, the money you earn, spend, save, and the money you owe. Be creative with your magnificence and power as to how you cleanse the currency and your own financial matrix. Together we create a world of shared abundance and financial grace for all.

Source of Power - The Manner You React to Circumstances in your Mind

Source of Power by Napoleon Hill

You will observe that neither success nor failure is the result of luck or chance. I warn you, before you read further, that the knowledge you are about to receive will forever deprive you of the privilege of resorting to alibis to explain away your failures.

I warn you, too, that you will never again be privileged to say truthfully that life never gave you an opportunity, for you will know definitely that as long as you have the right to form and express your own thoughts you have the potential power with which to change the circumstances of your life to whatever you wish them to be.

If your life is not what you wish it to be, you can truthfully say that you drifted into your present unhappy condition through the irresistible force of Cosmic Habit-force, but you cannot stop there because you shall know presently that time and Definiteness of Purpose, backed by Cosmic Habit-force, can give you rebirth no matter who you are or what may be your circumstances.

If you don't like the life you live then change your thoughts. Bob Proctor

You may be in prison, without friends or money, with a life sentence hanging over you, but you can walk through the front gate and back to the outside world a free man, if you adapt yourself to this force in the proper manner. How do I know this can be done? Because it has been done before. Because your common sense will tell you that it can be done once you understand the working principle and catch the full significance of its relationship to time and Definiteness of Purpose.

You are going to make another outstanding discovery in connection with this force. You are going to learn that “every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent advantage.” You are going to discover, beyond any room for doubt, that every experience, every circumstance of your life is a potential stepping stone or a stumbling block, due entirely to the manner in which you react to the circumstance in your own mind.

Positive Habits Develop Due to Right Thinking

Dr. Hill reminds us that habits are first cobwebs than cables. Habits begin with thought. Positive habits develop due to right thinking and negative habits develop due to wrong thinking. By using self-discipline right now, we can control any negativity that might be seeping into our consciousness.  As any good gardener will tell you, the best time to weed is when the plants are young and easily uprooted. Left untended, our garden will soon be overrun with weeds and produce little that is eatable. When our mind garden is weed free, it is a good time to acknowledge this positive frame of mind and continue to work toward expanding this awareness. One way to do this is to become a “good-finder.” By focusing on the positive rather than the negative, the formation of good habits is occurring. By looking for something to praise rather than something to complain about we will soon find more riches arriving in abundance. By uncovering previously hidden riches we are now capable of finding even more and bringing them home to harvest.  This is the master key in creating a true millionaire’s lifestyle. No amount of money in the world can buy you the joy and happiness you will accumulate when you think positively and cultivate the habit of right thinking. Remember, our thoughts shape our world and, in turn, shape our earthly destiny. If we choose the right road rather than the wrong one, not only will we arrive earlier than most but we will arrive in a better frame of mind. Think positively. Be Your Very Best Always, Judy Williamson, Director,  Napoleon Hill World Learning Centre

FOOD FOR THOUGHT - Never be controlled by the mind of another

Control your own mind, and you may never be controlled by the mind of another.

The mind is the most powerful weapon known to man. It simply cannot be controlled or contained by an outside force, however formidable that force may at first appear.

Throughout history, tyrants have tried to control those who opposed them, but eventually these rulers discovered the power of the imagination was far greater than the threat of the sword.

As Victor Hugo said, “An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.”  NapoleonHill

Raise your Vibration and Become Aware of your Personal Power

Message from the "team"

Galactic Family of Light

Peggy Black and the "team"

The Jet d'Eau (70 metres tall), Geneva, Switzerland

We are here, joining you in the midst of all things. You are to be acknowledged for consciously anchoring the energy from the core center of the galaxy. The crossing of this energy threshold signals the beginning of change in the collective field. Those of you who are aware of what has taken place can celebrate, for you were the physical chalice of all that was being offered.

We realize that many were expecting great and grand sweeping changes once this event took place in your reality. Let us assure you that on our level there were great and grand sweeping changes. These profound shifts will now begin to filter into the physical reality that you are focused upon. The celestial alignment anchoring the new reality of earth into the realms of the 5th dimension has occurred. The higher frequencies and the vibrations of light held in the 5th dimension are now more available to feel and experience.

Allow yourself to be acknowledged for all the active internal shifts and changes you have processed in the last series of years. We assure you that the density that has been transformed from this dimension has been monumental. You have done your personal work in clearing compressed vibrational traumas from your physical body, your mental patterns and your field. You have also assisted and supported the clearing of compressed vibrational traumas from the collective consciousness as well.

We say congratulations and keep up the good work, there is still more to be transformed. We assure you that you are making the difference by bringing your light, love and willingness to this galactic theater. We also assure you that literally the changes are coming forth with greater speed and manifestation then ever before.

In the coming days there will be an increased awareness that your spoken words and emotional offerings are manifesting more quickly. Many of you are now experiencing this very thing as you state your intentions and the results show up in your life without delay. We invite you to begin to consciously clean up just how you use the power of your spoken words. There are no throw away words.

Learn to listen to how you are stating your lack or your bounty, your challenges or your blessings, your gripes or your gratitudes. What you are telling the universal energies will manifest in some expression in your life and experience.

Each word carries the vibration of your personal power and intention. These word/sound vibrations, infused and partnered with the force of your emotional expression, interface with the quantum field of all possibilities and bring forth what has been offered. We invite you to own this awareness and power from your multidimensional perception. This truly is how the act of creation works and you know this in your deepest self.

In the past there was a buffer of time which allowed you to correct many of these false or misqualified statements that you offered without much thought or intention. In the coming times you will be amazed at how rapidly your thoughts, desires and intentions are showing up. So we invite you to claim this personal power as you practice creating life-enhancing realities for yourself, your community and the world.

You will also become aware of the incredible synchronicities that occur to bring about these realities. Recognize and remember that synchronicities are meant to be a part of your experience. They serve as guidelines or markers to let you know that you are "in the flow"; consider them signs along the way. This will become a fun and playful aspect of creating your new realities and experiences.

We invite you to look for and acknowledge these unusual events that are somehow related. Once you begin to train your awareness to see these, so to speak, "miracles" or recognize a seeming odd coincidence occurring, you will know that you are on the right track. Watch for the synchronicities as they show up and celebrate your clarity.

Also begin to notice how your physical body is feeling, for it is also undergoing tremendous changes. Each cell is shifting to hold more and more light frequencies. This does not happen overnight. So be kind to yourself and conscious of the foods you ingest, making sure that they are whole, healthy and fresh. Make a practice of infusing your conscious energy blessings, into any substance you put into your body. Remember you are a transformer of energy frequencies as a multidimensional being.

Drink water, for this holy substance supports the work of the cells and tissues in becoming more crystalline and light filled. We invite you to honor yourself with the gift of being in the nature that is available. Drink in this holy substance of energy and frequency offered by nature for it will revitalize your subtle energy bodies. Be sure that you find ways and methods to relax each day even for small moments or mini rest bits. You are also invited to play, joyfully and childlike. Be sure to incorporate laughter in your daily pattern, for laughter is a powerful healing vibration which resets your energy field.

You are also experiencing altered states of awareness, noticing a subtle shift in your perception. Welcome those experiences; you are beginning to own your true authentic self as a multidimensional being.

The dimensions are much like rooms in a large dwelling; you will discover these dimensions or rooms as you explore the possibilities and allow yourself to move beyond your rigid boundaries. Again we invite you to play with this concept and potentiality.

Allow yourself to explore creating a space for this to occur naturally. Part of the shift in consciousness, the awakening and the ascension is the recognition and the ability to move freely along the timeline as well as from one dimension to another. You have had those moments where you truly do this, however we are inviting you to be aware of when you make this shift and to practice and welcome this ability to unfold.

You will find the perfect method which will support this shift in awareness. Sages and ancient ones have all given clues of how to bring about this shift; our favorite will always be the use of sound vibrations; chanting and drumming will certainly create a shift, as will dancing and meditation. There will come a time when you will able to shift your consciousness and alter you perception just with the desire and intention.

You will begin to explore the other dimensions and timelines with greater ease, each time bringing a new awareness back into this dense dimension of physical reality and duality. You will learn how to be in the altered-state of non-duality and still be present in this here and now. The doors are open for you; allow yourself to cross the threshold into the wonder.

We are welcoming you into the galactic family of light. Your planet and humanity is moving more fully into this realization. It is important that you always honor your physical body and presence in this dense polarity and dimension; however we also want you to honor and welcome your divine multidimensional presence.

Each day invite this divine partnership, anchor this energy to the electromagnetic and geomagnetic field of this planet, and embrace the clear knowing that you are receiving pure energy and support from the one true source of the All That Is.

Remember you are here on assignment to transmute and transform the dense unconsciousness and the misqualified energy that has been offered into this matrix or reality. You are a master and we are just reminding you of your true self. When we invite you to "lighten up" we mean this on every level.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT - Having A Bad Day

Need a lift?

We all have bad days and usually those days contain a gem of a gift waiting to be opened.

Lessons Learned - Bad Days

We all have days from time to time when it feels like the world is against us or that the chaos we are experiencing will never end. One negative circumstance seems to lead to another. You may wonder, on a bad day, whether anything in your life will ever go right again. But a bad day, like any other day, can be a gift.

Having a bad day can show you that it is time to slow down, change course, or lighten up. A bad day can help you glean wisdom you might otherwise have overlooked or discounted.

Bad days can certainly cause you to experience uncomfortable feelings you would prefer to avoid, yet a bad day may also give you a potent means to learn about yourself. DailyOM.com

FOOD FOR THOUGHT - Meditation is Medication

Temple in the Sea, Waterloo, Trinidad

Meditation is medication. I heard myself say that one day as a slip of the tongue while doing The Work from Byron Katie's Loving What Is and it stuck with me.

On reflection, I understood how true it was - when I take my medication/do my meditation I feel solid and centred. Meditation seems to clear away the cobwebs, giving me a clearer frame of mind to face my challenges.

Byron Katie's statement made no sense at the time when I began The Work i.e. there's only ever one thing to do which in fact is the next action you take, even if it's cleaning up after someone at home or at work. Now it does

What you resist persists.

Think about it, you come home and there's a mess made by... and you refuse to clean it up. It's one of your gripes and everytime you see the mess you become more angry until it seems to take over your thoughts.

This is where meditation comes in. It's a perfect companion to The Work. Once you get yourself sorted you will see that it's not a big deal to clean up the mess and get it off your mind!

Meditation provides you with a solid foundation on which to ground your daily activities. Let it become part of your life. You will never regret those daily 5 - 15 minutes of calm. Try it.

Anticipating Joy - Nourishment For The Soul

Food for thought to sup on at your leisure - it's about expectations and anticipating... joy.

I never consciously thought about it in the way Russell Bishop describes in his article however he is absolutely correct. When I think about things I don't want in my life anymore, I demand instant changes because I deserve it which in fact is a lie because if I really believed that I wouldn't be in the current situation nor would I have to insist.

It would be all natural and free flowing.

Of course I feel disappointed and frustrated hurrying up to wait when my expectations are not met, and that right there is the crux of the matter. Expectations lead to disappointment because joy doesn't come on demand.

We have to feel it inside.

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines JOY as the emotion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune or by the prospect of possessing what one desires.

Bishop says that the anticipation of joy would be much more fulfilling (it's on its way to me) and not open to disappointment as in (I deserve it and why isn't it here) and that's where affirmations and visualization come in.

Here's an excerpt from Russell Bishop's article Soul Talk - Want More Joy in your Life? He describes affirmations and visualization as just one means of  moving the odds in your favour. An article not to be missed!

Anticipating Joy

It's pretty simple, really: Shift from expecting joy to anticipating joy. Besides the obviously-simplistic idea that this could be nothing more than semantics, there is actually a huge difference.

Expectations carry with them the sense of entitlement along with a demand for immediacy. "I expected" it is a way of saying I deserved it, and if you're expecting joy today, then not only are you running on the premise of you deserve it, but that you deserve it now and that the source of your joy comes from someone or something outside yourself.

Anticipation, however, carries with it a sense that the joy is coming and you just don't know when. "It's just around the corner" is a whole different mindset from "it damn well better be just around the corner."

The trick to anticipating joy is not that much different from that old Heinz catsup commercial put to Carly Simon's song "Anticipation" -- you just have to hang in there long enough for the joy to come out.

While you're waiting, you stay focused on how good it's going to "taste" when it finally does come out.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT - Reaching Our Full Potential

Picturing our future and facing what we are afraid of allows us to reach our full potential. If we have any doubts about how our future will unfold, those thought patterns can affect the actions we take toward realizing our dreams.  

Knowing what can prevent us and then working to release those doubts makes it easier for us to see ourselves in an optimistic light, which helps to put our energy into our possibilities in a constructive and healthy way. 

The more you see your future as an endless stream of positive opportunities today, the more encouraged and hopeful you will be about what you will accomplish. DailyOM

Be Realistic When Facing Challenges

A realistic attitude can take us far where serious matters are concerned because we equip ourselves to deal proactively with life's challenges when we see the world as it is. 

Though we may be tempted to apply the optimism we feel within to the circumstances we face in our outer-world lives, part of thinking hopefully about the future involves coping constructively with the issues we face in the present. 

This is not to say that we cannot comfort ourselves and bolster our spirits with beautiful visions of a better and brighter future. Rather, we should recognize that addressing our situation directly will prepare us to realize the specific outcomes we hope to eventually achieve through our efforts.  

The realism with which you approach your worldly affairs today will ensure that you can handle any challenge the universe puts in your path. —DailyOM

Share More and More You Will Have

Two stray cats

Your Magnificent Obsession

The more you share, the more you will have.

Now if you doubt this, you can prove it to yourself by giving: a smile to everyone you meet; a kind word; a pleasant response; appreciation with warmth from the heart; cheer; encouragement; hope; honor, credit, and applause; good thoughts; evidence of love for your fellowmen; happiness; a prayer for the godless and the godly; and time for a worthy cause with eagerness.

If you do experiment by giving any one of the above, you will also prove to yourself what we have found is one of the most difficult principles to teach those who need it most: how to cause desirable actions within yourself.

Until you do learn, you will fail to realize that what is left with you when you share it with others will multiply and grow; and what you withhold from others will diminish and decrease.

Therefore, share that which is good and desirable and withhold that which is bad and undesirable.
