You Feeling It?

Negative thoughts - negative actions - hurt us all.

Sometimes it is not possible to escape - when people around us - people we work with - groups of people - a foreign country
Yes it all effects us at some point.

Everything in the Universe including us is energy - we all have an energy field that surrounds us - a good example of this is standing in the checkout at the local market. All at once you feel something and turn around to see someone behind you - NO you don't
have eyes behind your head - rather that person just invaded your energy field.

There are two kinds of energies, physical and non-physical. Our bodies, homes, businesses, and all the things we can see with our eyes in the physical universe are made up of physical energies. Non-physical energies are energies that most people cannot see. Although we cannot see non-physical energies, we can feel them, and non-physical energies DO affect us. Thoughts, feelings, emotional energies, our body's natural energy fields, our spirit, our soul, angels, demons, and all spirits, including your spirit guides, are made of non-physical energies.

Negative emotional energy is a non-physical energy that every person and spirit generates. We also generate positive emotional energies. Positive emotional energies are good for us. Negative emotional energies are not. Anger, fear, joy, surprise, disgust, love, disappointment, blame, hostility, anticipation, optimism...these are all emotional energies. The emotional energies that make us feel bad are negative emotional energies. The emotional energies that make us feel wonderful are positive emotional energies.
Whether you know it or not, negative emotional energies affect you
Whether you have the ability to sense and feel negative emotional energy or not, negative emotional energy will have an affect upon your life. There are emotional energy fields in and around each one us, and in our living and working environments. Whether we are aware of it or not, we easily "pick up"emotional energies from people we live and work around, or from the places that we visit. This daily intake of both negative and positive emotional energies has an effect on our bodies, minds, spirits, and even our personalities and moods.


It is unrealistic to think that we can rid ourselves or the world of negative, but a good balance is important in our business as well as remaining healthy.

So take a moment and smile, compliment someone, try to find the positive in situations and not the negative.


There is Nothing You Need To Do To Deserve Happiness

There are no 'minimal requirements' for you to fulfill before you can claim happiness. You deserve happiness simply by virtue of having been born. That's it. Nothing more is required. Be happy.

You can't rid the world of sorrow, but you can choose to live in joy.

Sorrow is with us not because we are bad at stopping it, but simply because it's part of being human. What matters is not whether good or bad things happen - both will, but your relationship to them. Just think back over the last 24 hours, - what had you taken hard that you could have taken lightly?

How bad things may look right now means nothing, - it's how good they can be with God's help that counts.

In life you can absolutely count on one thing, - everything can turn around in one day, in one minute sometimes. Don't you dare to give up, - you might be a moment away from a windfall.

Start Your Day With A Positive

It is amazing how far you can go when you are not blinded by your own perceived limitations....



"The more grateful I am, the more reasons I find to be grateful." Believe.

Why Your Life Been Going In Circles

"Things" start in spirit. Allow me to demostrate: See your shirt, touch your shirt, it did not start out as a thing. It started out as a spirit. It was an idea, then the idea became a drawning. Then the drawing became a pattern and the pattern became a shirt and you became a customer. Now you have a shirt. Althought your shirt did not start with fabric, it started with a thought. If you can get it into your spirit, then you shall have it....

You are a product of your thinking; you become what you think, remember this and be well.

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE?

Now let's Be Really Honest- Unconditional Love Is Not Obtainable! ACTUALLY UNCONDITIONAL LOVE IS THE WRONG GOAL TO HAVE...

I see it everywhere in the spiritual community. Unconditional love towards everyone and that will solve the problems of the world. Remember the 60"s? Wasn't that the goal unconditional love. A lot of people tried to obtain it and there was still a war, severe drug use, and other issues to tend with. Through trying to obtain unconditional love created more tension. It became "were right and you are wrong". It became about forcing a belief that love is the answer onto other people. It created resistance.

The reason why I am writing this blog because this fantasy of unconditional love is another dishonesty that removes people farther from their true self. People do not even love them selves unconditionally so how can we love everyone else without conditions.

HOW PEOPLE DO NOT LOVE THEIRSELF UNCONDITIONALLY.....

1. Not happy with your looks. You know wanting a little plastic surgery, to lose weight, wear better clothes,etc. That nit picking that we do about ourselves is the farthest that we can get from unconditional love. Yet, we outsource looking for validation that we are worthy through a relationship or hoping that someone will compliment our looks so that we can temporarily feel good about ourselves.

2. When we call ourselves stupid or downplay our intelligence because we are uncomfortable with where we are academically,etc. you know how we constantly call ourselves a failure because we have not achieved all that we desire.

3. Not being grateful and thankful for where we are at today. We are always looking for tomorrow to be that magical day that we will feel better. FEEL BETTER TODAY!

4. Trying to be a perfectionist. When we set up an imaginary standard for ourselves that is no where near being obtainable. Then we are actually shocked when we do not measure up to our definition of perfection.

5. Stating that we can not be happy single. Always looking for love to validate us. We need to look for love once we validate ourselves. Then you will have the perfect love because it is the love that you are vibrating to the universe that you will receive in return. Do not ask someone to tell you that they love you if you are not willing to look in the mirror and tell yourself that you love you.

I could go on and on about how we forget to love ourselves unconditionally. Now I will talk about how it is impossible to love another unconditionally.

Every person has unspoken and spoken terms and conditions that they expect from others. This is the start of conditional love. When we are in a relationship, we have decided how we want to be treated by our partner. When the partner fails to meet our expectations, we fall out of love with that person or we are hurt by them. Well, if you love your partner unconditionally, it would not matter how they treated you, you would not have any expectations and you would love them unconditionally. THAT AIN'T REALITY! We naturally have conditions. Society has conditions on how we should be treated in a relationship. We naturally do not let people walk all over us. That is what unconditional love is. NO BOUNDARIES! People do not live that way and they should not.

A LIST OF OTHER CONDITIONS PEOPLE NATURALLY HAVE....

1. We love our friends and family only if they are treating us well.

2. We like our job as long as we are validated on the job with fair pay or compliments from the boss. No one works for free and puts up with an abusive work situation too long.

3. When people are rude to us, we defend ourselves. Unconditional love means loving the person even as they are abusing you.

4. We do not love pedophiles conditionally or unconditionally.

5. When we are a victim of crime, we do not love our perpetrator.

6. We even get mad at God when we do not get what we want. We even have a conditional relationship with our creator. How lovely. Even God does not receive our unconditional love so how can we give that to a person.

SOLUTION TO UNCONDITIONAL LOVE..............
Work on self acceptance that it just does not matter how we feel about what other people are doing. We even stop caring if people like us.

1.Study Byron Katie's work. She can help you peel off the layers and let you see who you really are. Her work will stop the need to outsource for acceptance.

2.Meditate this will free up the noise in your head. You will get a better perspective of yourself.

3.Accept how you look. ACCEPT YOURSELF PERIOD!

4. Be grateful.

5. Stop trying to fit into a perceived metaphysical perception of how " enlightened " people shouldbehave. There is no gold standard for how a spiritual person should behave. YOU ARE HUMAN FIRST ANDYES YOU HAVE FLAWS! Love those flaws.

6. If you do not like a person. Investigate why. It is usually because there is a part of you that needs to be dealt with and that is ok. You do not have to like anyone but at least you can know why you do not like them.

OFCOURSE BEST TECHNIQUE IS THE MIRACLE THAT CAN REALLY BALANCE YOU EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY!

Your Perspective: In 37 Seconds, Experience A Paradigm Shift

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 details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.

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

Although the other man could not hear the band – he could see it in his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days, weeks and months 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 besides 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 is why it is called The Present .’

Love vs Fear

There is an old saying that love heals all - but that is false for many reasons. Love is defined differently for each person so love is not a universal feeling therefore, there is not a universal definition for love. Love is just a perception and its truth is different for each person.

I hear all the time from many of my callers that when a person likes or loves someone that they will......... pursue, respond and verbalize their feelings. I have to say that so many people are afraid when they are in a love relationship and that causes them to be quiet and to just do nothing. Yes! Someone can like you and do nothing about it.



WHY?............
When we say that a person should act a certain way that is our standards and not the universal standard or perception. For a lot of people, love becomes over shadowed by fear. Fear of love, acceptance, being hurt, past traumas,etc. It all comes to the surface when we start to have feelings for someone. The truth is that people do put their feelings first. Love does not conquer all! If a person is afraid, they can sit quiet and analyze for a long time before they express their feelings.

Love is too vulnerable of a feeling for some people. Love does not make the pain of the past disappear. Deciding to heal the past and get rid of the fear is what makes things better.

Remember your definition of love is your perception and please leave room for the person you are interested in to be their self. It will ease the stress of the situation by ending the need to have an expectation met that is not reasonable for the other person to meet.

A "Love" Lesson

For some of us finding that "one" true love is a battle.

Recently through the loss of a family member I was taught an important lesson in love.

Sometimes things in life come hard. Such is this lesson in love.

My Aunt & Uncle had been married for 57 yrs. He retired from the Navy and they started a new life in a small Midwest city. My Uncle was the type of person that you did not have to ask to do something for you, he just did it.

For the past 6 months he has been fighting cancer. He never gave up that hope of being. Even when the Dr's told him he had little time left he never once complained about anything. He took it all in stride knowing his time was soon ending.

My Uncle lost his battle July 3rd. He passed away at home just the way he wanted to. My Aunt holding him as he took his last breath.

For myself and all my family it was sad to see a man widdle down to nothing. Many a nite I asked God why, why he had to suffer so. I never got my answer, yet I did.

What my Aunt & Uncle had was a 50 plus year love story. They raised a daughter, they have many friends, traveled the country and done more then most ever will. They never stopped giving to eachother.

The lesson I learned in this is the simple fact that we all can have that great love & happiness in our lives. The one thing they did that most never do is talk. They talked about everything right up till he left us. His last words to my Aunt....."I love you"

Lets all love a little more...

How Big Time Savers Follow Up On Good Intentions To Save

Is one of your top ambitions is to save money? Well, you are not the only one and many folks just like yourself don't really know how to get started.

The fast track towards saving more as experts suggest is that we are more apt to meet personal money saving goals by breaking them into small, manageable steps. Start to bring your lunch to work, for instance, this can be a step towards reducing weekly food cost. Whether it is from earning more money or cutting back, declare how you plan to save to make it easier and take action on those small steps.


Experts asked how they manage to put so much money away and they often mention four strategies:

1: They slowly stared. Overcoming the initial idleness that stops many of us from saving can be the hardest step. That's why saving just a small amount to begin with can get you on the path toward bigger savings. Nikki McBride, a 30-something communications assistant in Los Angeles, couldn't afford to put away a big chunk of her salary when she was in her mid-20s, so she started saving 3%. A few months later, she raised it to 4%, then went to 5%, and she a last arrived at her goal of 10%. Today, her net worth is more than $80,000.

2: They read about financial and economic news. --Successful savers are in the habit to pay attention to financial news. It seems to help keep them generally aware of and savvy about money as well as teach them about basic principles of investing.

3: They save regularly, often using automated systems. Online banking makes this technique easy: Sign up for monthly transfers into a brokerage or savings account. You can also transfer funds directly from your paycheck. Do yourself a good deed by checking with your human resources department -- you might be able to set up an automatic savings account through your employer in addition to your automatic retirement savings.

4: They find saving contentious. Successful savers -- naturally feel more pleasure while stock piling money away rather than spending it, since they know they are building financial security and they can spend it at last someday. If you don't feel this way about saving, you can teach yourself to. Focus on how much financial security will benefit to you each time you add money to your savings accounts.

Hit And Miss Kitchen Tips: This Can Mold and Get Slimy Faster

Don’t rinse produce before you’re going to eat it. Otherwise, it can mold and get slimy faster, eewww.

Okay, I'm all for saving money in the kitchen so I did some research on the subject and came across a site recommended "Just for Dummies" way to save money in the kitchen. So the tipster wanted to convey, share a list of suggestions to help cut cost of family meals and stress that every tip helps when you’re trying to save money in the kitchen. Some suggestions are practical, helpful and then others are....read them.

Keep lettuce fresh longer by rinsing and drying it thoroughly. Cool. Okay, she wants us to try to get all the excess air out of the bag we store it in, good. Lettuce keeps for as long as a week this way if it’s dry before you place it in the bag. Alright.

Now this one idk...Tipster recommend us save the bits and pieces of leftover pie crust in a zip-top bag in the freezer. Then when we have enough in the bag, we can make another pie crust or two from the thawed pieces. Really?

Another suggestion is that you, dear reader, use half the amount of meat called for in recipes. Add inexpensive vegetables or pasta to fill in for the missing meat. By now I'm thinking a school lunch lady is our beloved tipster.



Stretch ground beef. Stir in cut-up bread crusts, oatmeal, homemade breadcrumbs, cracker crumbs, or plain cereals. Our tipster thinks this a great way to use up stale crackers. So she is suggesting that we season fresh ground beef with tasteless stale crackers? Is it something to consider doing?

Please comment down below and share with the rest of us how you save money in your kitchen.
