Make their day

"Use every man after his desert, and who shall 'scape whipping? Use them after your own honour and dignity: the less they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty." – Hamlet, William Shakespeare

When was the last time someone made your day – or you made theirs? In the national bestselling book, FISH!, by Stephen C. Lundin Ph.D., Harry Paul, and John Christensen, the fishmongers at the world famous Pike Place Fish Company in Seattle do it daily. They do it by throwing fish and joking with their loyal customer-fans, and by just having fun.

To grow spiritually is to recognize interconnections.

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 14:30:00 +0000

Religions stress the concept of our relatedness to all creation, live and inanimate. Therefore we call other people “brothers and sisters” even if there are no direct blood relations. Moreover, deity-centred religions such as Christianity and Islam speak of the relationship between humans and a higher being.

On the other hand, science expounds on our link to other living things through the evolution theory. This relatedness is clearly seen in the concept of ecology, the interaction between living and non-living things.

In psychology, connectedness is a characteristic of self-transcendence, the highest human need according to Maslow. Recognizing your connection to all things makes you more humble and respectful of people, animals, plants, and things in nature. It makes you appreciate everything around you. It moves you to go beyond your comfort zone and reach out to other people, and become stewards of all other things around you.

Growth is a process thus to grow in spirit is a day-to-day encounter. We win some, we lose some, but the important thing is that we learn, and from this knowledge, further spiritual growth is made possible.

Growth is also acquiring a deep and profound respect of all living things, acceptance of yourself and who you are and tolerance towards others. Everyone is on a journey, everyone wants to experience certain elements of life and the feelings associated with them. It is up to us to be tolerant when others do not live their lives as we live ours. Tolerance and acceptance are the greatest gifts that we can give to others and possibly the hardest to achieve.

Learn not to judge what others do, within your own boundaries, you are not necessarily right, you are just coming from a different place!

To grow spiritually is to search for meaning.

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 16:44:00 +0000

Religions that believe in the existence of God such as Christianism, Judaism, and Islam suppose that the purpose of the human life is to serve the Creator of all things.

Several theories in psychology propose that we ultimately give meaning to our lives. Whether we believe that life’s meaning is pre-determined or self-directed, to grow in spirit is to realize that we do not merely exist.

We do not know the meaning of our lives at birth; but we gain knowledge and wisdom from our interactions with people and from our actions and reactions to the situations we are in.

As we discover this meaning, there are certain beliefs and values that we reject and affirm. Our lives have purpose. This purpose puts all our physical, emotional, and intellectual potentials into use; sustains us during trying times; and gives us something to look forward to---a goal to achieve, a destination to reach.

A person without purpose or meaning is like a drifting ship at sea.

Having said all that I must add that sometimes the purpose we are following is not always the one that we are here for.

Our life's purpose is the true purpose of our life and to find this we need to search deep within ourselves and be totally honest, however hard it may be.

Can you honestly say, beyond a doubt, that you are truly following your life's purpose??

I am in the process of writing a short book with guidelines on finding your life's purpose which I hope will be of use to many people out there who are floundering in their attempt to see themselves as they really are and to identify what their own thoughts and beliefs are and which have been impregnated so they almost feel like their own.

This is a difficult process no matter who you are or how advanced you think you are. This book will be published soon.

To grow spiritually is to develop your potential.

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:48:00 +0000

Religion and science have differing views on matters of the human spirit. Religion views people as spiritual beings temporarily living on Earth, while science views the spirit as just one dimension of an individual.

Mastery of the self is a recurring theme in both Christian (Western) and Islamic (Eastern) teachings. The needs of the body are recognized but placed under the needs of the spirit. Beliefs, values, morality, rules, experiences, and good works provide the blueprint to ensure the growth of the spiritual being.

In Psychology, realizing one’s full potential is to self-actualize. Maslow identified several human needs: physiological, security, belongingness, esteem, cognitive, aesthetic, self-actualization, and self-transcendence. James earlier categorized these needs into three: material, emotional, and spiritual.

When you have satisfied the basic physiological and emotional needs, spiritual or existential needs come next. Achieving each need leads to the total development of the individual. Perhaps the difference between these two religions and psychology is the end of self-development: Christianity and Islam see that self-development is a means toward serving God, while psychology view that self-development is an end in itself.

Whatever your view it is important to realise the benefits of developing your potential in life in order for you to achieve all that you possibly can.

This is not an easy journey, but it has incredible rewards, it begins when you start to take a look at who you really are, what you believe in and why. Open yourself up to the truth behind your beliefs, are they truly what you believe or have they been beliefs passed on from others, and that includes family.

The hardest part of this journey is to identify your true beliefs. Once this is established you can begin to work towards your development from there.

Growing Spiritually is about looking inwards!

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 17:19:00 +0000

Introspection goes beyond recalling the things that happened in a day, week, or month.

It is about looking within and reflecting on your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and motivations. Trying to understand why you felt a certain way when something was said or done to arouse your emotions beyond the normal is not easy but it is definitely worth the trouble it takes.

Make it a regular thing to examine your experiences, the decisions you make, the relationships you have, and the things you engage in. Believe it or not this will provide you with useful insights on your life goals, on the good traits you need to sustain and the bad traits you would be better off discarding.

Once you understand why you react in a certain way hopefully you will be able to control your reactions when suddenly in the midst of such a situation.

Like any skill, introspection can be learned; it takes courage and the willingness to seek the truths that lie within you. No matter what you find remember to be objective, be forgiving of yourself, and focus on your areas for improvement.

Sometimes what is behind a reaction is hidden deep where we have buried it in order to try and forget. On the surface it appears to have worked but on an emotional level the problem remains until it is healed and forgiven.

You are not alone, please remember that, and if you need evidence then take a look around you when other people react to what you would consider a situation where such a reaction was not called for!! We are all struggling to rid ourselves of our own demons, self doubt, pity, or something else, no matter what it is the only way to release it is through looking deep within the very essence of our soul by taking note of our reactions to life.

If you take this on please let me know how you get on, or if you need help in any way get back to me I will do my best to help.

Trusting your feelings.

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:13:00 +0000

Trusting your feelings is being aware of your 'gut' reactions and recognising the truth of who you are. Your feelings are a confirmation of who you are and have a way of making you understand the truth behind your reactions to others and the feelings you experience when they say certain things to you.

Not sure what I mean then listen to this amazing audio from Abraham-Hicks which will help you understand.

Enjoy Your Life: Change Your Point of View!

"Two men look out through the same bars: One sees the mud, and one sees the stars."- Frederick Langbridge, A Cluster of Quiet Thoughts

If you’ve placed second in a writing contest, will you jump for joy and push for better results the next time or will you be discouraged and find an excuse not to join again?

In life, you are always filled with choices. You may opt to have a pessimist’s view and live a self-defeated life or you may decide to take the optimist’s route and take a challenging and fulfilling life.

So why nurture an optimist’s point of view? And why now?

Well, optimism has been linked to positive mood and good morale; to academic, athletic, military, occupational and political success; to popularity; to good health and even to long life and freedom from trauma.

On the other hand, the rates of depression and pessimism have never been higher. It affects middle-aged adults the same way it hits younger people. The mean age of onset has gone from 30 to 15. It is no longer a middle-aged housewife’s disorder but also a teen-ager’s disorder’ as well.

Optimists typically maintain higher levels of subjective well-being during times of stress than do people who are less optimistic. In contrast, pessimists are likely to react to stressful events by denying that they exist or by avoiding dealing with problems. Pessimists are more likely to quit trying when difficulties arise.

They persevere. They just don’t give up easily, they are also known for their patience. Inching their way a step closer to that goal or elusive dream.

Optimists are healthier and live longer

Medical research has justified that simple pleasures and a positive outlook can cause a measurable increase in the body's ability to fight disease.

Optimists’ health is unusually good. They age well, much freer than most people from the usual physical ills of middle age. And they get to outlive those prone to negative thoughts.

So why not be an optimist today? And think positively towards a more fulfilled life.

Why not look forward to success in all your endeavors? Why not be resilient? Like everybody else you are bound to hit lows sometimes but don’t just stay there. Carry yourself out of the mud and improve your chances of getting back on the right track. And why not inspire others to remove their dark-colored glasses and see life in the bright side?

2012?? and Life in General

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:34:00 +0000

I am so sorry that I have only just got around to posting again on Soul Energy Rising, work has taken over and as money is a necessity, it has to be done. Thank you so much LLnL for your comments on my last post and sorry I did not get back to you. It is so nice to hear from someone who appears to be travelling the same road as I am even if we are a distance apart.

I am often looked upon as very strange because of my outlook on life and my openness. I must admit to being a bit of a loner and I love my own company, I learned several years ago loneliness comes from within and a sense of not knowing, not loving, ourselves, not accepting unconditionally who we are. When you turn this around and accept yourself for who you are and love yourself for who you are, you will begin to shine, you will attract into your life those who are drawn to the wonderful energy you put out and you will have soul mates, a variety of them to share your life and the greatness of this universe we live in.

I am about to make some very controversial comments about this wonderful world we live in but I really am fed up with hearing all of the scaremongering that goes on in order for others to make money out of people's fear.

It is said that in 2012 the world will end??? It is said that we are destroying the world with our technology our 'emissions' into the atmosphere etc?? It is said that the earth will run out of resources that keep us alive??? It is said that we will run out of water???

Let me just say that there is no sign, in reality, that the world will 'end' in 2012 regardless of what is being said. The earth is a living entity and like all other living entities it has cycles in its life where changes occur in order for its life to continue.

All of the things happening around the world are natural changes, occurring because this wonderful world is alive and kicking. We are just a tiny part of this universe, this world, and do not, regardless of how important we may think we are, have a say in how the world changes, it is something that is way beyond us and our knowledge. The earth will always provide for us, there will always be plenty of resources to enable life to go on as it does.

Take a look around, never mind what politicians are telling us, look at what is around you, look at all that the natural world has to offer us and all creatures that live on this earth, therein lies the truth. As far as water is concerned, can anyone tell me where this water is going if it is running out?? We are drinking water that the dinosaurs drank, remember the water cycle, where does it go - it does not disappear into the atmosphere, it remains here within our world so that we will always have enough.

For anyone worrying about our world please feel safe in the knowledge that this universe and our world will provide all that we need whenever we need. Stop listening to and reading the 'news' that is determined to keep us down with worry, start believing, loving and enjoying this beautiful world we live in knowing from the depths of your soul that all you need will be given.

Prosperity

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 11:47:00 +0000

I have been reading a lot recently about out general attitude to prosperity as you have probably noticed. Interestingly enough we are usually standing in our own way of abundance and prosperity. Our ingrained information from childhood defines much of how we think now. If you have constantly heard such things as 'money doesn't grow on trees' or 'no we can't afford it' then you too have probably built up a belief of not deserving, unobtainable and many more such phrases.

As someone who, as a child, believed that God was a part of us and lived within us, but was discouraged by all for thinking this way, I must say I have drifted far away from the church, any church and their teachings. To this day I have kept my belief that God is within each and every one of us. I also believe that almost every church, religion, sect or even coven on this planet, and please forgive me if you think otherwise, is more about control than about God.

My vision of God is of a loving Father who wishes each and every one of us health, wealth and happiness. I have always worked alone as a healer, I have always felt an incredible connection to God and those in my soul group who are there to help me, but I have found it very difficult to see the truth in the preachings of those I have come across professing to be religious. I am calling them preachings as it seems to me that they always want to 'get you on their side' or 'teach you the right way to think'. I am not condemning anyone for the way they think and their beliefs I just think that things need to be looked at on a far grander scale than most religions do.

Ok I have drifted off a bit as to what I began to say. The reason I mention God is because the books I am reading on prosperity have very much to do with God and our connection, expectations etc. of God. The way we look at our lives and our beliefs in regard to God has much to do with how our lives are. We need to change the way we look at our Universe, our connection to God and the abundance that is offered to us if only we would take it. I must admit as I started to read I was a little taken aback at the constant references to God and initially thought oh no not another preacher. Having said that, you are not committed to doing anything other than reading the book and taking what you need from it. That for me is the most important thing - I am a free spirit and do not wish to 'belong' to a body of people who think in a certain way and have no time for other thoughts. I am at one with, my own connection to God, my spirituality, my life, and live with good intent. My beliefs are my own which I do not impose on anyone.

Anyway to get back on track, help is at hand, and we can change our way of thinking and believing. Taking certain phrases, that will help us towards prosperity and abundance, and saying them consistently over time, even if at first we do not quite believe it, will work on your subconscious beliefs and make changes in your life. Some things will change immediately, some things will take longer but we can use our own innate wisdom and understanding to change our life.

So if you are interested in turning your life around have a look at the book on Prosperity on the front page of my website www.soulenergyrising.com and begin!!

Being Poor is a Sin!!

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 11:47:00 +0000

As mentioned in one of my previous posts being poor is a sin. I am reading the most incredible book about the laws of prosperity. As someone who has read The Secret and other books along these lines I have always been stumped by the fact that I cannot seem to find the way to do the things that they appear to take for granted that everyone should know.

Thinking it was just me I started to ask around among my friends who had also read The Secret and they had experienced the same thing. Now don't get me wrong The Secret was great and I even bought the DVD but at the end of the day I did not know how to get started on my way to where they were. I needed - literally - a step by step guide on how to start.

Well believe it or not when you need something and you ask for it, it usually appears. This is what happened to me. Completely out of the blue, someone I know introduced me to this book and said they thought I might need it.

Wow do I need it and I feel that there are many others out there who need this sort of advice.

You see it is not just about wishing and hoping that something good will happen, it is doing something about it. It is about knowing what to do in order to create your life as you want it.

IF you are interested in this book and a chance to change your life forever then please take a look on my website, http://www.soulenergyrising.com, it is on the front page, and order this amazing door to your future.

Being in the Present

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 13:59:00 +0000

What does it mean 'Living in the Present'? Does it suggest that we should have no concern for the future or that our past is irrelevant? Does it mean we have to forget about our goals and dreams and accept all that happens now in the present??

These are natural, sensible and enquiring questions to which the answer is a loud and clear NO! To live in the present is not about having to forget the past or give up on your goals and dreams, or that you passively consent to anything that comes your way.

Living in the moment is about learning to let go of attachment to or aversion to things that have happened in the past without projecting them into our future. It is about creating and defining goals and working actively towards them without worrying about how we will achieve them or imagining what happened before can happen again. If we can create and define our goals and dreams. and trust wholeheartedly that if we work towards them they will manifest without us worrying about how, we are in the present even though we are working towards the future.

The first thing to understand while attempting to live in the present is that our minds are often full and not always focused on the goals we have set, this is quite normal. What we need to train ourselves to do is to be aware of what is happening in the present moment. When we find that our minds are no longer focused we need to bring ourselves back on task, whatever it might be.

Living in the moment is a skill that can be learned so don't give up if it doesn't come to you easily, please persevere. The more you encourage yourself to live in the present, the moment, the more in control and happier you will be with your life.

Creative Inspirations

I have just created a Lens on Squidoo, here is some of what I have written - for more check out http://www.squidoo.com/soulenergyrising

Our very being calls out for a healthy, wealthy and happy life and we dismiss this continually as we continue with the humdrum of life all around us. However, we can change this if this is what we want to do. If you want to turn things around then take time each day and sit and dream. What I hear you say "A waste of time", never! The power of daydreaming is absolutely incredible and if you can sit and imagine yourself doing something or being something then believe me it is possible. "If you haven't got a dream, how 'you going to make a dream come true". Check out the fabulous book on the front page of my website - http://www.soulenergyrising.com - now this is a lady who knew all about dreams - its called "The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Catherine Ponder, and then follow her guide and dream to your heart's content - with results.

Reaching Out!

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 19:38:00 +0000

Hi there,

So, I have done it, I have joined Twitter, this is something that I had been thinking about for ages and never got around to it.

The advantages, not sure yet but in order to grow and develop in every way you have to reach out to others that you might be able to help. Just a few words can sometimes make all the difference to what is going on in someone's life so maybe, just maybe I can help someone out there.

I have been working hard on my website www.soulenergyrising.com and although it is now out there I am continually building it up so that it gets bigger and better for all of my members.

I find it so exciting to be able to offer people so much information and books etc. etc. on an ongoing basis. I know how much I have spent over the years on finding information or buying books to help myself grow and develop as a person.

On that note I have just been introduced by a very good friend about the most fantastic book on prosperity and the really annoying thing is it has been around since 1964. I obviously wasn't supposed to know about it until now but it really blows you away.

If you have read the 'Secret' then this actually tells you how to do it, really tells you!!!!!!!!!!!

Take a look it is on the front page of my webiste - incredible, amazing and sooooooo easy it will blow your mind and hopefully give you the desired health, wealth and happiness that each and every one of us deserves.

Did you know IT IS A SIN TO BE POOR - believe it and read this book.

Something New and Exciting!!!

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 12:45:00 +0000

Hi everyone,

After many months of hard work I have done it!!!!!!!! Yes I have created my very own website. It is a culmination of many years of gathering information, books, advice etc. on mind, body and spirit topics i.e. alternative therapies, natural medicine, alternative lifestyles and much more. I had dreamed of doing something like this for many years and it was only when Dad died that I suddenly realised that I had to do something about it.

I did not even know where to start initially and have learned so much on the way. I have actually built this website myself using Joomla - for anyone who has not heard of it, it is a free web building program but you really do build it yourself. Looking back to where I started and my website now I cannot believe how good it is. I love it, I love the way it looks, what it has to offer and the fact that it is all mine!!

It is a membership site with loads of free ebooks, articles, advertising, horoscopes etc. at a very small fee. It is a site that is going to be updated constantly as I find books, courses, articles to add to it. I am still adding things that I have accumulated so there is much, much more to come.

Take a look here www.soulenergyrising.com and tell me what you think. However, I am only accepting positive comments as there is no need to say anything if it is not to your taste - you know the saying 'If you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all'.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Humility and Self Respect

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 18:59:00 +0000

As I move through life I am always surprised at the lack of humility that surrounds me. I realise that competing with others or getting stressed trying to prove that we are better than anyone else is fun for some, but what are the consequences. Is the feeling of superiority over someone not a little empty? How do you really feel after achieving this 'success'.

There is a very apt Hindu Proverb that sums this up for me really.

"There is nothing noble in being superior to some other person. True nobility is being superior to your former self."

Accepting that we are human and we are prone to make mistakes, how else shall we learn, is a huge learning curve. It is one that can take us decades to learn, but well worth it in the end. Life is so much easier when we forgive ourselves and others for mistakes made. It enables us to move forward. By being who we are, no better or more important than anyone else, we attact genuine respect and friendship.

"A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is by saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday." - Alexander Pope (1688-1744)

Have respect for yourself and others and take pride in doing things well. A good balance of humilty and self confidence will enhance your life and those around you. Accept yourself for who you are unconditionally.

"He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals." - Ben Franklin (1706-1790)

Past Lives!

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 17:49:00 +0000

I have been very preoccupied since the death of my father and must admit that I have not taken the time out to write on this blog. However, I am now, I feel, back on track and will be adding posts here on a more regular basis once again.

When in England I came across a book on Past Life Healing which caught my eye. Firstly because I trained as a Past Life Healer several years ago and secondly because it was claiming that you could do this on your own. Now I know there are several differing opinions with regard to this and I know that there are people who regress hundreds of people at the same time in large centres etc. It was therefore with great skepticism that I read this book and I was reminded once again that this is somewhere that only a few people can go with confidence without any help. Even though there were ways described that one could regress into past lives it was obvious that the people involved also had the writer there as a 'safety net' I am relieved to say. In order to deal with what happened in previous lives and to achieve a clear picture as to the relevance in your life today you need to be able to talk it through, have a sounding board, for want of a better word.

You see, in my humble opinion, it is necessary that someone is there to guide you because of what may or may not have occurred in your past lives. Sometimes there can be quite frightening things that happened and they can be very hard to deal with if you are doing this on your own. It is an incredible experience and it does make a difference to your life in the present but please make sure if you go down this road do it with someone you trust and feel secure with.

Anyone have any other opinions on this I would love to hear from you.

Concious Living

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Sat, 17 May 2008 16:15:00 +0000

It is very strange how we develop on our journey through life. I have just come across an article I wrote several years ago about Concious Living and on the whole I still think and feel the same way.

This is what I wrote then:

"What is Concious Living? - I have heard it for many years as I have gone further and further down the spiritual path. Unfortunately many people I meet are of a different mind to me. I truly believe conscious living is about being here on earth and living the life we were destined to live. That may mean experiencing some things that are unpleasant and painful but they are part of the learning curve of life – our reason for being here. We are here to learn lessons that we decided upon before we were born and there will be many people – soul mates – who have agreed to help us on our way.

No doubt on meeting certain people in our lives we have the feeling that we know them but push this aside as we know that here on earth we have never met them before. Remember the gut feelings – believe them – live with them consciously.

We are here to learn to live now – not in the past and not in the future. Why worry about what might be when the outcome is unknown. Why worry about the past – it is over and unchangeable. Living in the present is conscious living but it is also really living. Many people on the spiritual path forget they are here on earth to experience the many emotions that human beings are capable of and that means the anger, frustration, sorrow, envy as well as the joy, happiness, excitement and love that abounds on this earth."

What I have learned since is that everything I believed in then but did not voice is vitally important. You see what I believed then was that the emotions that we feel are the ones that guide us on our journey, that without emotions to guide us we were not really living. I had met many people, as I trained to be a healer, who professed to be very 'spiritual' but for me they were emotionless - it was almost as if they lived within their heads and had forgotten the importance of their physical being. When asked they even confessed to experiencing very little emotion - they were above it all. This is fine if you are living in a world of contentment which you have reached by experiencing the powerful emotions of love, joy, happiness, gratitude etc. but if you are denying emotions then this is not living - this is existing!! Food for thought I think!! Perhaps more on this later.

Something to make you think!

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Thu, 15 May 2008 07:13:00 +0000

Here is a poem I wrote a couple of years ago and one of my pictures. This picture is called Trust and will hopefully stir up some emotions from deep within. We need to trust in ourselves and not go into denial - this poem and picture are reminders of just that. The poem is called:

No more denial.

Don’t deny how you feel
Don’t deny what you see
Open your heart and you can always be free

The world all around you
Is waiting for a chance
To see you express what
Others see at a glance

Deep within you
If you are true to yourself
Is a desire to be loved
As you know you deserve

Why deny all the love
That is waiting to shine
Through your heart to be
Met here in mine

Think not of the past
Or what might be
Live for today
Take a chance, be free

To feel, to express all
Emotions, desires
Is to be honest and not deny
All that your soul requires

A lifelong romance!

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Thu, 08 May 2008 18:27:00 +0000

'To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance',
a brilliant and often quoted remark from Oscar Wilde.

The majority of us are under the illusion that we are not good enough, unlovable, not worthy of love and the list goes on...... Why? Most of the time it is due to our upbringing and the information we have gathered over time that we take on board as part of ourselves. Why is it that out of one hundred remarks where 88% are good, do we always remember all of the 12% negative remarks and cannot even remember the good ones?

Until we change how we feel about ourselves we will remain in the position we are in at the moment. If we think that we are worthless and unlovable we will attract just that into our lives. If we are fearful and insecure then we hide away from life and miss out on all of the wonderful opportunities that life has to offer.

So as from today I want each and everyone of you to change the way you think about yourself!!

To love yourself is not selfish it is imperative. At the end of the day you have to live with you for the rest of your life so make yourself someone you love living with and others will also feel this too. Do you want to spend your life with a misery or someone who sees the good in all?? Ok so from now on love yourself, be kind to yourself, look after yourself, your body, your mind and your spirit. Accept yourself, faults and all, for who you are and love that with all your heart. Say to yourself continually during the day - I love and accept myself for who I am unconditionally - the more you say it the more you will believe it and eventually what seems quite alien now will be a part of you and very natural in no time at all. Say it loud in front of the mirror, in your head while on the bus, train or wherever, just say it and say it over and over again.

Try this for the next week and notice the changes, subtle and succinct, that take place in you and how you feel about life, as the week continues.

Get back to me and let me know.

A state of confusion!

I thought perhaps a little explanation about my beliefs, re yesterday's posting, and how I came to feel the way that I do. I am most definitely one of the 'lucky' ones, I have been working for several years, quite successfully, on finding out who I am from the inside out. It all started, quite innocently, when I decided to start attending a meditation group on a regular basis. From there it developed into taking a two year course to train as a healer and then to compliment this a course on past life healing. During these courses I was given the opportunity to seek my own inner strength and to use my inner knowledge to become the person that I am today. This is not an easy journey, it is fraught with disapointment and frustration - it meant rethinking all of my preconceived ideas (usually passed on from parents, school, friends etc.) and beginning to develop and establish just who I really was, how I felt about things and how I wanted to react to things. During this time I devoured book after book on healing, past life healing, and all of the many alternative therapies and remedies available.

The reason that I felt a need to clarify this is that many people are triggered into seeking something that gives them the inner strength and knowledge to be able to cope with a crisis, a loss or illness. Whatever it is it can be the turning point from which there is no going back and, although daunting, it will be one of the most incredible journeys ever taken. So anyone who feels they have reached that point, don't look back, look only forward and know that this journey will make you the person you were meant to be, you will be wiser, calmer and much more appreciative of life itself and all it has to offer. I wish you well.

Life After Death?

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 18:29:00 +0000

As someone who truly believes that we live on after death, the death of my father has hit me much harder than I imagined it would. I apologise for those of you who visit and receive feeds from this blog as I really have not had the heart to write anything. I know deep in my very soul that we are eternal beings and that my dad is somewhere beautiful and much, much happier than he was over the past six months or so. What is so distressing is knowing that I can no longer pick up the phone and see how he is or even nag him when he hasn't been eating properly or taking his medicine. Funny how, just knowing he was there was enough and now he is not. I have been arranging his belongings and his funeral almost from a distance, if you know what I mean - just doing and not thinking at all. We had had a long distance relationship over the past four years as I live in Mallorca and he lived in England but the connection was always there.

How do I feel? I really don't know or rather cannot explain it. How do I cope with grief? I don't know the answer to that either as I am still trying to understand how I feel. Each and every one of us is different and each relationship shared by two people is individual to those two people. I do know that I miss him, now I know he is no longer there, I am distressed that I didn't get to see him before he died. I last saw him in January. I also feel guilty that I didn't do more, although I don't know what I could have done.

I am truly grateful for having had him as my dad and sharing a great part of my life with him. I am also grateful that my belief in life after death is so strong and I know that I will see him again when my time comes.

My heartfelt thoughts go out to anyone who has lost someone they love, keep the memory of them in your hearts and know that this is not the end for them, or us, but the beginning of something new.

Success or not!

If you want to succeed at anything you need to understand that you have the potential to reach your goals. You do, however, need to choose your direction wisely, there is no point in wanting to be a recording artist if you do not have any singing ability. If you love working with wood and have a real talent for producing excellent carpentry work then making furniture would be successful and you have the potential to learn and achieve success in this field.

Ok, everyone has failures or has make mistakes in the past but these are just stepping stones on your journey to where you need to go. Make your future decisions from the lessons learned in the past.

Remember to succeed you also need your dreams and aspirations, you need to be able to visualise where you want to be and what you want your life. Allow your mind to dream, think big and really feel the emotion you would feel if your dreams came true.

Now go forward and live the dream, paths will open up.

Change!

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:30:00 +0000

For several years now I have been reading information on what others have to say about the incredibly vast subject of Mind, Body and Spirit. I have read up on Nutrition, even done courses, Healthy Exercising, even participated in such like and Spiritual healing, am a trained healer. I have come to the conclusion that no matter how unimportant it seems, every tiny piece of information on these subjects helps someone out there. We are all so individual that what one person says might make no sense to us but another says the same thing in a different way and the penny drops! This is why there is so much information out there, it is saying things in different ways to reach many different people. There is also the point to take into consideration that each of us is on a different stage of our journey so we will need to see things from where we are right now. Right now I am very interested in, as I mentioned in my last post, the fact that so much is being written now on how we are responsible for changing our own world and the way we think will reflect our world. This is an incredibly simple concept but an incredibly difficult one to put into place for the majority of us. I think in today's society we want a quick fix to whatever is going on, be it at work, home or in our lives generally but if we want to change our way of thinking and change our world we need to take the time necessary. If we plant a seed we do not expect the plant to have grown within a day, it needs time and nurturing, so how come when we start some of these new ideas and exercises to change our way of thinking we expect it all to be sorted within a week. When you decide to go down a particular path on your journey that you feel is difficult, don't turn back, always give yourself time to walk to the end of the path, no matter how long it takes and throughout it all be positive and believe in yourself. So if you are ready to change, however small that change is, do it and move forward no matter how scary it seems. Change is good! Change is positive! Change can be in any area, the way you eat, the way you exercise, the way you think whatever and wherever the challenge is you can do it. The only one stopping you is YOU!!

Finding Our Own Power To Be Who We Really Are.

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 16:40:00 +0000

Before we can find our power we need to know what it is. Before we can begin this journey we need to know where it is. Before we can move forward we have to believe in the power within.

We are all very powerful beings blessed with the power that guides us and makes us who we are. We possess the power of thought and thought can change the way we live our lives.
We possess the power of our soul that is deep within our very being.
We possess the power of our inner self, our faith, our belief, our spirit.
We possess the power of will, our own willpower.
We possess the power of emotions, which can create our world.

So why do we often feel so powerless? Why do we not believe in our intuition? Why do we hear that inner voice and ignore it?

For the moment, in this world, we are behaving as we have been taught to behave. We accept what has been said to us over the years about who we are and what we can or cannot do.

Now it is time to reconnect with our soul, our inner self, our being, our spirit. Now it is time to listen to what we as individuals really want. Now it is time to create the world as we want to see it.

It has been said, in relation to the law of attraction that we need to think only about what we want, and never reflect on what we don't want. The universe reacts to the thing we are thinking about not whether we want it or not, so it will be created.

A very beautiful and knowing soul, Mother Teresa is known to have said that she would not come to a war rally, protesting about war but was more than happy to attend a peace rally. You see by concentrating our energy, our thoughts, our emotions on war and how we want to stop it we are in fact asking for more of the same. If, however, our energy, thoughts and emotions were concentrating solely on peace and, on mass, as a collective consciousness, imagine how powerful that would be.

So in order to start our own journey we must believe in our own power, in the power of our own thoughts and the effect they have on our emotions. Believe it or not emotions are a little like our own personal guidance system, they tell us when things are good or bad - there is no in between, either our thoughts make us feel good and the emotion rises and bursts out making us feel so good, or it sits deep within our soul and makes us feel secure, content and loved, or they give us that awful sinking feeling deep within the pit of our stomach and we feel anxious.

Your journey is about connecting with the powerful being you are and changing your world. The first step is connecting to your very soul, listening to your inner self and the knowledge you possess. Be aware of your emotions, control your emotions by your thoughts, lift your spirit by thinking of something beautiful, exciting, amazing, it doesn't matter what as long as it lifts you up and gives you that wonderful happy feeling again. Do not let the 'bad' emotions take control, you are in control. Know this, believe it and use it to create your life.

Using Visualisation to Create your Dreams

noreply@blogger.com (power4life) — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 18:34:00 +0000

Take time everyday, it need only be 15 minutes, and visualise your dreams, see that wonderful new house, the sexy sports car, the fabulous designer clothes, feel yourself walking around your brand new garden, behind the wheel of your new car. Feel and experience the emotions involved when visualising these dreams of yours. Your emotions are your creators. What you feel denotes what you want and if you feel joyful and full of an overpowering feeling of happiness then this is the right message to send out the the universe. Try to keep this positive feeling with you at all times. Be grateful for who you are and everything that you have. Express your delight at being here on this amazing planet experiencing this life and all it has to offer. You are a born creator, you create your very existence, so start creating one that you really want.

This amazing excerpt comes from a book written by Wallace D. Wattles in 1910 called The Science of Getting Rich and sums up what I mean.

'There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made,
and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates,
and fills the interspaces of the universe.

A thought in this substance, produces the thing that is
imaged by the thought.

Man can form things in his thought, and, by impressing
his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing
he thinks about to be created.'
