2011 - Embrace The Changes

Be A Spiritual Trendsetter!

Article: Spiritual Trendsetters by Owen Waters It is time for the world to stop being fearful. Fear breeds fear. Love breeds love. One cancels the other. Which will you choose – love or fear? If you decide to create more love in your life, the approach is simple. Spiritual awareness enhances the natural flow of the universal consciousness called love. By developing your inner spiritual connection, you attract and transmit more pure, unconditional love and all things will be added to you because of this. Your relationships will grow deeper and more harmonious. You will appreciate yourself more, simply for being the child of God that you are. You’ll prosper in your professional dealings as you become more creative and, therefore, more competent and more valuable to the people you serve. It’s simply a choice. To develop love, start by ignoring the fears that face the rest of the world. Don’t let those issues of fear bring you down. That’s what they’re designed to do. If you let them bring you down, they will disempower you. Instead, focus on what will make a difference within yourself. Your domain – the realm under your control – is within you. You can change that which is within yourself. Other people are outside of your domain, so change that which you can – that which is within yourself. Then, paradoxically, you will also effect positive change in the world because you are part of the global mind consciousness. Just as there is an atmospheric belt around the world, there is also a mind belt around the world. This mind belt is constantly fed by the thoughts and emotions of every human upon the planet. People are like radio transmitters and receivers, only the energy is mind energy, not radio waves. You constantly receive mind energy from the collective mind belt, process it through your own consciousness and transmit it back into the mind belt. Mind energy consists of thoughts and feelings. It is a definite energy, even though it is much more subtle than physical energies like light or electricity. Mind energy is conditioned and directed by human will. You can be affected by the collective mind belt or you can decide for yourself how you will react to life’s events. Choose now whether you will be affected by every twist and turn in the game of life, or whether you will be one of the few who create the game. Independent thinkers are the trendsetters in the mind belt. The way you think affects every other human upon the planet. The way you feel affects every other human upon the planet. Because higher frequencies of thought and feeling have much more power than lower frequency ones, the unconditional love that you generate through your spiritual practices has a huge influence upon humanity. Choose the development of love through regular, dedicated spiritual practices and you will be changing the world. Make spiritual growth your number one priority in life. At the end of the day, it’s the one thing that really counts. Owen Waters is the author of Freedom of the Spirit: Four Powerful Steps to Spiritual Freedom. This deeply insightful e-book combines some of today's most proven and time-tested spiritual practices into one powerful and effective package.

Ugh! It's Not Possible.

Go ahead....you can do it!

Plug in to your determined self.

This time of the year is seems everyone has a goal or renewed purpose in life. 

Usually by February that idea has lost it's original appeal. 

What happened to turn off the switch? 

Sometime is was a lack of commitment in the first place. 

Perhaps it was a matter of jumping on the bandwagon; it seemed a good idea at the time. 

Guilt and shame often make us feel like there is no other option; but doing anything for this reason will totally be self defeating and feed the original shame and guilt.

How to stay on track?

Be certain the goal is clearly outlined.

Make sure it is realistic to achieve.

Create honest time lines. 

Keep daily logs of progress.

Avoid people and places designed to sabotage.

Refrain from self defeating ideas in your head.

Share your intent with friends who support your effort.

Renew and nurture your spirit often.

Reality is:

There is nothing you can't achieve! 

Period!

Negativity Is Contagious.

We are hearing a lot about colds, flu and such. But this morning I was reading about how we face a much more deadly issue than bacterias or viruses; negative people. They have the ability to affect everything and everyone around them.

Now this information isn't new to most of us but sometimes we need a reminder to be just as vigilant to avoid negativity as we do the plague.

We all know what it feels like, can sense when they enter the room. Many times the effects have taken hold by the time we realize what has happened to us. Suddenly we feel grumpy, angry and discontented. Our normal perfect world is turned upside down and we had nothing to do with it. Or did we?

Look inside and see if any residual issues linger, for those are the embers negativity reignites. Like most fires, negativity requires fuel, take away the fuel and they die out on their own.

Practice positive thinking and living every day. Don't talk the talk....walk the talk. Become an example. Pass it along to those on your path.

Send out a ring of beautiful white light to deter all negative thinkers. Detach from any and all friends, even family, which choose to live a dark and thankless life.

Practice gratitude with every breath. Live fearlessly. Love unconditionally and promote well-being to all you meet.

This year can be the healthiest one yet, especially spiritually. Inoculate yourself and stay in the light.

Experience The Glory!

We are but a speck of creation in God's eye. The glory and wonderment of being a part of it all is seldom though about. Take a few moments to relax in the "all."

I Couldn't Say It Any Better.

Please, please, please!

 Take some quiet time to really listen to the following series of videos. They are so on target and full of amazing wisdom we need to remember as we start into a new year. It is the past that creates the future.....remembering what is important to not only survive.....but to thrive.

 These are concepts to live by and pass along to our families and friends. What a different world we can create just with respect and positive intent.

After the Ecstasy, the Laundry

One of my favorite books has that title and was written by Jack Kornfield. I highly recommend all his writings as they are full of truths and spiritual guidance.

In it he quotes "the Hindus tell us that the child in the womb sings, "Do not let me forget who I am," but that song after birth becomes, "Oh, I have forgotten already."

It seems quite easy to "forget" our true spiritual nature, become separated from our knowing self. Human life requires much from us and is extremely demanding. Too often we spend our time focusing on the material or our need to be propped up emotionally.

Take time this year to re-connect with self. Listen to spirit when it speaks. Remember....brain and heart are tools for us to use. Only spirit speaks honestly to us.

Create your life with joy and enthusiasm, practice loving intentions and gratitude.

Release negative images and thought which separate you from hearing.

This truly can be the best year of life, if you choose it to be so.

Send love and light to others so they also may find their way...find the calm inside and extend it forward.

Become determined to live 2011 fearlessly and joyfully.
