Contributing Positive Energy

2013-09-23T18:34:00.001-07:00

People resonate constantly with energy. One person in a room resonates at their own comfortable energy. As you add more and more people to that room, the energy compounds. If it's a positive energy, that can be an amazing thing. But if it's negative, the result can be catastrophic. The key is to not absorb the negative energy, but to acknowledge it and then let it pass through you. That way you only contribute positive energy to the world.

Blame

2012-09-26T21:59:00.001-07:00

Blaming the outside world, removes any personal responsibility for our lives. To take control of our lives, we need to share the blame.

Skewed View

2012-09-26T21:40:00.001-07:00

Our view of the world is so skewed by negativity. The fact that the vast majority of people on this planet, are not murders, rapists, abusers or just plain mean...seems to be completely ignored by most. I think it's pretty frekin amazing that 7 billion people, can get along as well as we do.

Healing With Music

2012-09-10T18:10:00.005-07:00

It's been said, "Music soothes the savage beast." What is your beast? Is it a sad heart...a negative thought or maybe something else? Only you know exactly what it is. No matter what it is, music has the ability to lift you out of your funk or give you a different insight. Why? Because your heart has the natural ability to sync itself up with the beat of a song. Doesn't matter what style of music. Learn the one that resonates most positively with you, and you will have a another valuable tool, in your arsenal against negativity.

Shoulds

2012-09-03T10:06:00.001-07:00

How many "shoulds" do you have in your life? Maybe you should work harder? Maybe you should call that old friend? Maybe you should eat and drink less? There are countless things that we tell ourselves we "should be doing." The problem with "shoulds" is that they are generally based on ours or more often somebody else's, ideals. Ideals are great but are not always based in reality. And it becomes very easy to overwhelm ourselves with a stack load of tasks that we can never hope to accomplish. Rather than making something a "should," ask your self.." Is this really important to me?" Don't try to pretend it is, if it isn't. Yes, try to do the right thing, but do the right thing that is in alignment with your being...not just an ideal.

Breath In

2012-09-02T10:40:00.001-07:00

Breath in / Breath out.
It's our lowest common denominator.

Doubt

2012-09-02T10:39:00.001-07:00

Paths of doubt, lead nowhere. Even a wrong path, can lead you to your destination.

Life's Gift

2012-09-02T10:35:00.001-07:00

Life's gift is the present. Live in the now.

Being

2012-09-02T10:33:00.001-07:00

Stop being what you or everyone want's you to be and try just being.

Maintaining Positve Energy Flow

2009-11-27T14:06:00.000-08:00

"The two states of being and doing are a perfect example of ying and yang. One does not use much energy in the "being" state, so if a person remains in it too long, there is a build up and they will feel restless. And as the "doing" state does require energy, a person that remains in it too long, will end up feeling burnt out once resources are too low. Keeping these two states in balance, is key to maintaining a positive energy flow."

The Evil Walter Mitty

2009-11-26T09:27:00.000-08:00

"Remember Walter Mitty? He was the fictional character in James Thurber's short story The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, who constantly daydreamed. But there is a evil version of Walter that makes up most of our personalities. When faced with a pending difficult situation, almost all of us tend to play it out in our minds before hand. Why? Because we feel that by being prepared, we can have control over the situation. Unfortunately, we have no control over any external forces and the constant "playing out in our mind" can actually create more damage than the actual situation ever will."

The Now

2009-11-25T19:15:00.000-08:00

"If we were meant to live in the past or the future, the present would never have been created. Yesterday we were sure "it" was the now and tomorrow, we will believe that "it" is the now. There really seems to be nothing but "now." So why do we persist in not living in it?"

Why Habit

2009-11-24T19:15:00.000-08:00

"Most of us are creatures of habit. But why? Even if an action causes us discomfort, we sometimes continue to repeat it. Perhaps we do this until a lesson is learned. Maybe that is why adversity is our greatest teacher. Instead of asking why "you" keep doing the "wrong" thing, ask what it is that you should be learning."

1 Step Program

2009-11-23T19:13:00.000-08:00

"We have all heard of the "12 Step Program." But for most of us, the hardest program is the 1 Step Program. This is because all it involves, is starting. And that, is always the hardest part."

Fear of Embarrassment

2009-11-22T19:12:00.000-08:00

"The fear of embarrassment is one of the strongest obstacles we will face in our lifetime. The most common result of this fear is "inaction" which blocks our creative process. We feel this fear because we are afraid to fail. But failure is part of the learning process. We are not born with success. We learn it."

True Mediation

2009-11-21T19:12:00.000-08:00

"To be in a true meditative state, is to be in harmony with our true nature. This happens when our thoughts, our actions and out breathing are all in sync. And this can happen whether we are sitting quietly in a lotus position or whether we in a group of people at a party. As long as we are mindfulness of our existence, we are meditating."

Forced Thought Resets The Process

2009-11-20T19:10:00.000-08:00

"Thought gives rise to the process that is responsible for the end results. If one keeps forcing the thought, the process keeps resetting and never has a chance to follow through. Trust in the process."

God Is Not A Warm Fuzzy Feeling

2009-11-19T19:11:00.002-08:00

"The human mind is capable of creating any reality it chooses. Can one truly say they "know" God? When one experiences a feeling of warmth or contentment, this does not mean that the "spirit" has revealed itself unto them. Is our human mind even capable of experiencing, such a incredible experience as God? I am not saying "what is." Just that it's something we should think about."

Why Control Is So Important

2009-11-18T19:11:00.000-08:00

"The need for control is a survival instinct. The more "in-control" we feel, the longer we feel we will survive. Unfortunately, most insecurities stem from this, because deep down, we know we can never truly have 100% control over life. We do however, have control over how we interpret it."

Get Familiar With The Positive

2009-11-17T19:10:00.000-08:00

"We need to stop our love affair with the negative. The only reason we maintain this unhealthy relationship, is that we are so familiar with it. For a much more healthy existence, try becoming familiar with the positive. "

De-Attach

2009-11-16T19:08:00.000-08:00

"If one is attached to something, they will always act from an externally motivated view. De-attach and one is forced to become internally motivated."
