Online Reputations, Hostgator, Sitesell, 1and1 and the "Blue Thumb Award"

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 15:20:00 +0000

Why Michael Barrett Recommends Hostgator and Sitesell and Not 1and1...

Michael Barrett Introduces The Barrett Blue Thumb Award...

Online reputation is changing and morphing almost daily.

As we morph into a more interactive internet that rewards a positive reputation based on the number of recommendations by visitors - to your website or to your offline brick and mortar business - what other people genuinely think and say about their experience as your reader, website visitor, as a customer in your restaurant or as a client buying a new kitchen directly impacts your business.

The number of Facebook likes, Google +'s, Tweets, online reviews or citations increasingly has a greater impact on the perceived value of what you have to offer. As business owners, it makes a big difference if you have 30 positive reviews versus 6 good ones and 4 negatives. And this system is evolving rapidly and a big part of the reason is mobile technology.

Those of us who have not taken what other people say more seriously in the past need to start doing so. Stake your claim now while you can - otherwise don't whine a couple of years from now when you wonder what hit you.

In accordance with my own version of a POOR customer service award I am casting my vote via by designating the first recipient of THE BARRETT BLUE THUMB AWARD to 1and1 hosting co.

Poor customer service in a competitive industry reflects directly on management. How seriously you take that idea as a manager and how much you pay attention to your customers matters more every day.

This is not just a gloom and doom warning, it's also an unprecedented opportunity to grow your business and leading to a dominant position in your market niche in the not too distant future.

By the way, give me a thumbs up would you... Thanks.

Michael Barrett talks about rainbow and how to eat a rainbow.

http://michaelbarrett.co/eat-a-rainbow/

Rainbows are magic to every child and they're magic for adults when we allow ourselves to let the magic in.

Rainbows are like unicorns only they're everywhere.

You can find rainbows in the sky, at the beach and in the kitchen.

How do you eat a rainbow?

Michael Barrett Gratitude Family...

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:04:00 +0000

This Thanksgiving week was a big deal for me.

It was the first time I saw my youngest daughter - Sarah - since 2007, my son - Lucky - since 2009.

And for the first time ever that I got to meet my 7th grand child, Lyla Rose and her father (my son in law) Jonathan Bell.

What a joy to spend quality time and see the amazing people in action and learn a bit more about who they are and how they think and what they are becoming.

I am truly grateful for all the I have and the wonderful children that are part of my life.

What a joy and what a great time for realization and understanding.

Millionaire Mind

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 05:32:00 +0000

Now is a good time to develop a Millionaire Mind.

In today's economy we rarely get good news and for the most part money is no fun. We don't have enough fun. We hear how much money money managers on Wall Street embezzle, how many $ trillion dollars the S&P 500 dropped in the last month, that the nation is bankrupt, etc...

How often do we hear about how many people had fun making money? About how good and healthy it is to be wealthy?

Money and abundance are portrayed as evil. Fact is nobody broke ever gave me a job or helped me financially? The only people who ever helped me financially were people with money.

We have this whole money thing backwards socially and spiritually.

Being rich is awesome. We can help more people and we can live a better life. Poverty sucks.

If you want to have a good time you should attend Harve Eker's Millionaire Mind 3 day intensive seminar. There are a number of them sceduled throughout the Us befire the end of 2011, and they won't cost you anything.

I have 11 eleven times.

Here's a new post on the Millionaire Mind Intensive.

To Be Healthy Are Eggs a Healthy Breakfast Choice?

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 22:12:00 +0000

Dr. Niva Shapira of Tel Aviv University's School of Health Professions says that all eggs are not created equal. Her research indicates that when hens are fed with a diet low in omega-6 fatty acids from a young age -- feed high in wheat, barley, and milo and lower in soy, maize and sunflower, safflower, and maize oils -- they produce eggs that may cause less oxidative damage to human health. That's a major part of what determines the physiological impact of the end product on your table.
Her findings were published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
Cholesterol oxidation: an industry standard?
Eggs high in omega-6 fatty acids heighten cholesterol's tendency to oxidize, which forms dangerous plaque in our arteries. Dr. Shapira's research shows that eggs laid by hens with healthier feed can lessen oxidation of LDL (low density lipoprotein), the body's "bad cholesterol."

To be healthy physically good quality fuel is a requirement.
Eating local farm fresh eggs is a healthy component of a good diet. But are all eggs created equal?
Mainstream corporate farming and major standard grocery chains take the position that all eggs are the same - just like they say all corn is the same.
The facts may be considerably different than we - the consumers - are being led to believe.

Is Congress Smoking Crack – They Want More Money...

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 19:33:00 +0000

Headline: Is Congress Smoking Crack – Demanding More Money To Spend?

America Is Not A Nation of Village Idiots

(Flash back to the Woody Allen movie, Love and Death.)

You’d never know it if you assume that the media and the Beltway pundits actually tell the truth. They think we’re stupid and we let them get away with it. And the fact is they should pointing the finger at Congress – not the people in this country. We are allowing these people to label us and treat us – the citizens of the greatest country in the world – as pushovers, mamby pamby, overweight, middle of the road, spoiled, selfish, naughty children that are lazy and don’t have the initiative or brains to make our own decisions.

There is nothing further from the truth.

We are responsible for our lives and we are capable and generous. This is a good thing not a bad one. This is rooted in FREE WILL which is actually the only REAL lowest common denominator in existence, not ignorance as politicians and the Media would have us believe.

Core Health Workshops Actually Work...

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 20:29:00 +0000

Core Health Actually Works…

Check this out.

I was doing some web work this weekend and noticed these two different pictures of myself and what I noticed kind of surprised me. So I thought I would share them with you to make a point about Core Health and the self development work that I have been focused on for 5 years.

Looking back, it’s interesting to note (July 2011) that when this picture was taken in Seattle in 2006, I have changed so much since that time.

Do you know what a down flame is? I was kind of shocked as I realized what I was looking at.

Take a look at the pictures here => Core Health Actually Works <= and see for yourself.

Talk About The Pot Calling the Kettle Black...

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 21:41:00 +0000

Today There Was a News Headline That Gold Has Now Exceeded the $1500 an Ounce Mark.

I remember when gold was $35 an ounce. It hovered around $35 from 1953-1968. And Washington continues to tell us that there is no need to worry about inflation. There have been huge price spikes in many commodities since January 1.

The very same day that this news came out an email came into my inbox from a buddy of mine in Oregon.

It's curious to me how a politician can be such a pompous ass and continue to get re-elected for 18 years.

The email is a response from a 63 year old Montana resident to the following August, 2010 comment made by:

Alan Simpson, Retired Senator from Wyoming, Co-Chair of Obama's deficit commission where:

"Simpson calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared

"Social Security" to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats."

Here is the response. And this guy is not alone. Who is Simpson kidding appointed in 2010 to co-chair President Barack Obama's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform with co-chair Erskine Bowles.^[1]

"Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight...

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole for FIFTY YEARS.

2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).

3. My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud.

4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and your ilk pulled the
proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age 67.

NOW, you and your shill commission is proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now you morons propose to change the rules of the game.

Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare to pay the bills.

6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again.

Why?

Because you incompetent bastards spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.

__________________________________________________________________

To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" on your incompetence.

Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU

1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?

2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?

3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or, as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcases who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers.

And for what? Votes.

That's right, sir.

You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers.

You know it,
We know it, and
You know that we know it.

And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.

Quite a story...

My comment: You've done a great job on the commission, Mr. Simpson.

Wealthy Boomer - Are You Funny With Money?

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 01:06:00 +0000

If you really want to be a wealthy boomer, you need to be a healthy boomer first and we talk about that frequently.

What about having a healthy relationship with money?

In our search to find the answers over the last 20 years - about how to be the very best people we can while striving for excellence - we have experienced some really amazing trainings, seminars, workshops and certifications along the way.

About 2 years ago, we learned about Are You Funny With Money, one of the dynamic interactive workshops created by Dr. Ed Carlson. Since that time, we were participants in all of Dr Ed's workshops - first as attendees, then again as participants in certification training and now as Certified Core Health Facilitators, we facilitate them ourselves.

Most people go 'weak' around money even when they have a lot of it - Boomers and GenXers alike.

Funny With Money gets rid of "money weakness" and frees us up to be healthy, whole around money the way we were born to be. Abundance is the natural default of the universe.

Yet we have been programmed differently for the most part.

Whether you just want to have a better relationship around money with your spouse, achieve a more stable relationship to money or become a Wealthy Boomer. Consider attending a live event yourself.

Grand Master David and SRC4U Software

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 17:56:00 +0000

Grand Master David and SRC4U Software

Ever noticed how there are turning points in our lives? And have you also noticed that many times we do not recognize those turning points when they are occurring?

Earlier in life, it was easy for me to miss these events - only to recognize them in retrospect. At this stage of my life, it seem much easier not to overlook important moments. As if a new type of radar has been installed in my consciousness that activates in internal notification system to: PAY ATTENTION...

Meeting Grand Master David was one of those turning points in my life. It was also a fundamental point of correction. Coupled with Core Health (the work of Dr Ed Carlson), my life has changed - for the better - significantly in the last two years.

And that's a good thing. It was time.

Doing Core Health Workshops and Heart Forgiveness Workshops over the last year and a half has given me a renewed sense of purpose in my life. Over and over again, we see people shifting, expanding and releasing old emotional baggage and energy glitches that somehow ran their subconscious minds for years without being aware of it.

What we are doing as Core Health Facilitators really makes a difference for many people and is incredibly satisfying work.

Another turning point I can identify right that is taking place right now.

Grand Master David, the youngest martial arts Grandmaster in the world and an exceptional Qigong man, has spent the better part of the last four years creating a software that he describes as a Qigong Enhancement Tool.

His knowledge and dedication to humanity unparalleled and I recognize the magnitude and value of this tool he has created for the long term.

The name of his software is SRC4U (spiritual real time correction) and you can find out more here:

SRC4U FREE TRIAL <== Here

There are two ways to try the software for free:

Download a copy of the free Ultra Lite version to keep.
Download a 2 week trial of the Premium SRC4U version

There are also 4 links to different articles at the top of that page - 3 of them about Grandmaster David.

Health, old technology and 21st century technology are really coming together.

Check this out and try the software for yourself. We'd love to hear back from you.

Having an awesome day in Sarasota, Fl...

Michael Barrett - Eye See You

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 22:38:00 +0000

Authenticity ties to being vulnerable and making ourself known even when we are reticent.

Like dealing with those in authority when we need their approval, or getting on stage and speaking - OR SINGING - in front of a large group of strangers.

Our normal inclination (for the latter) is to head to the bathroom to throw up and run for the exits.

Dealing with authority figures also tends to put the internal clamps on 'the self expression' flow and we tighten up and contract when we're normal. This is normal yet it is not natural.

There is no need to fear getting on stage - or dealing with authority - for a very simple reason:

Contrary to the voice in our heads saying things like:

"Are you nuts?
What do you think you are doing?
You're going to screw this up like you always do.
THEY won't like you."

The people in the audience want you to do well.

They want to shower you with appreciation and recognition for daring to be authentic and vulnerable.

They want to see the real you.

They want to tell you: "I SEE YOU."

What Does a Billion Dollars Mean?

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 15:10:00 +0000

What Does a Billion Dollars Mean...

To YOU?

A few years ago, I asked myself that question and sat down to write about it.

The question requires a look at perspective and value - and when we answer it honestly
it changes the meaning of many things we hear in the media, in the articles about money
and finance and reality itself, in a way.

I've met a couple of billionaires personally and for the most part they are just regular people
who figured out the game and how to attract what they wanted to manifest in their lives.

We have grown so accustomed to hearing about:

how many billions something will cost
how many billions have been spent already
billions in deficits
billions for this and billions for that...

The reality is that a Billion Dollars is a helluva lot of money, even for a politician...

In a way, the younger generation, that has grown up in a world of technology, has an advantage
in that they can see the abundance of the Internet. They have seen start ups in their lifetimes achieve
financial accomplishments unheard of before recent times.

Older generations value hard work - what it means to work hard for what you want. The younger generation
often wants no part in hard work. They prefer instead that technology do the hard work for them.

What we need is probably a combination of both perspectives - a true Billion Dollar attitude:
"Both using the law of attraction to attract what you want creating sustainable wealth (without limits) - manifesting it using technology - and good old fashioned hard work, all the while loving and enjoying our lives fully."

Mentally trying to understand: what does a billion dollars mean requires a different perspective.

Read the post and see what you think...

Negative assessment of the Fed...

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 17:14:00 +0000

Just scanned an online newsletter a minute ago which was focused on a negative assessment of the Fed.

Got to a quote that I thought was humorous, clever and true all at the same time....

David Stockman, President Reagan’s budget director, quipped to The Fiscal Times that

“I invest in anything that (Fed Chairman) Bernanke can’t destroy, including gold, canned beans, bottled water and flashlight batteries.”

And here is a tidbit from a Ron Paul blog post on 6/26/09

Here is Bernanke's response during questioning in front of Congress:

When asked by Rep. John Duncan on Thursday about the fact that a majority of Congress is co-sponsoring Ron Paul’s HR 1207 bill to audit the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke responded:

Ben Bernanke: “My concern about the legislation is that if the GAO is auditing not only the operational aspects of the programs and the details of the programs but making judgments about our policy decisions would effectively be a takeover of policy by the Congress and a repudiation of theFederal Reserve would be highly destructive to the stability of the financial system, the dollar and our national economic situation.”

I have a question:

What happened to that bill? And what happened to the "audit"? Remember when people across the US were up in arms about the Fed just prior to this?

I personally think that any monetary policy that is outside of Constitutional Authority should always:

be challenged and questioned
be audited and thoroughly and objectively be scrutinized

And furthermore, if control of the money supply of US citizens is managed by privately held entities that these entities shall be mandated (at all times) provide:

full disclosure and
independently monitored and evaluated internal controls that demonstrate absolute integrity in all aspects of operation
full access and must be be fully transparent to all operations, procedures and policies
should only be managed by those financial experts who demonstrate that they fully represent the best interests of US citizens

If the Fed make mistakes with our money, they should be held accountable in open proceedings visible to the public. When the Fed takes actions that do not represent the best interest of US citizens completely (as is common to all obligations of fiduciary duty in professional financial relationships) and create financial damages or hardships they should both be fired and make mandatory restitution.

Personally, I think the Fed should be completely abolished.

And I think that we should hire an independent board of advisors to oversee, plan and establish long term investment planning on a national scale for the sole benefit of US citizens and the US economy. It should be an absolute honor just to serve in this capacity and only those voted to be the brightest and the best by their industry peers shall be nominated for a position.

This board should be compensated very well for their time and expertise by sharing a small, residual percentage of the all the net profits generated for the funds and investment packages they create so there is direct incentive to make the funds and investment systems both as stable and as profitable as possible for the long term.

They should also share in any losses.

Performance and results are the only thing that matter.

These funds should be for the express purposes of benefiting the US citizens, to establish long term economic and financial stability and

SHALL NEVER BE AVAILABLE TO CONGRESS FOR SPENDING.

In addition to planning, developing and managing private long term investment and retirement type accounts for US citizens. This body should evaluate and make recommendations to Congress about viability, stability, and performance of achieving balanced budgets in real measurable terms of all Congressional budgets and expenditures.

Both a balanced budget and a shrinking deficit should be mandatory of Congress each session until all US Government debt is paid off.

Financial control should be in the hands of - and for the benefit of - US citizens.

Where would we get such leadership?

How about successful entrepreneurs who made their money themselves?

Develop a training and mentoring program to find and mentor the very best candidates in this country by the sharpest and most accomplished financial minds in this country.

Create awards both in terms of recognition and financially for the best performance. Let them be nominated by their peers and establish a criteria that includes diverse feedback and scrutiny.

In 20-30 years, we would again have the strongest and most stable economy in the world again. The dollar would be the most valuable currency in the world and not simply an IOU issued in exchange for government bonds.

Let's get back to basics and make this happen.

The Fed and their buddies and Congress are draining the financial groundwater dry.

A Healthy Boomer is a Wealthy Boomer...

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 05:33:00 +0000

A Healthy Boomer is a Wealthy Boomer Because

What Good Is Money if We Aren't Healthy to Enjoy It?

How often do we get stuck in a pattern chasing the almighty buck?

Maybe we cut back a bit on time with the family, a bit here and a bit there around

taking care of ourselves physically, emotionally and mentally.

We work too hard and we don't laugh enough. We take life too seriously.

It's time to start enjoying life in a childlike manner again. More carefree, more playful

and more authentically. Kids are authentic because they have not yet learned how to

be phony.

There is non greater wealth than robust health.

Being healthy is the foundation of a wealthy life and a wealthy lifestyle.

What's new in Heart Forgiveness this week...

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 18:16:00 +0000

Heart Forgiveness News in Sarasota...

This week marks the end of a Heart Forgiveness Series and the beginning

of another one.

This is the most effective method I have ever found to once and for all:

Forgive other people and events
To forgive ourselves and
To live without anger permanently

Heart Forgiveness does what other anger courses can never do: release anger permanently.

That's because the workshop walks the participant through the process of both clearing the

energy body of energy glitches around anger, forgiveness, emotional trauma and creating new

healthy energy blueprints.

This is done through a system called Comprehensive Kinesiology.

What's New In Heart Forgiveness Workshops starting on Sept 2 at Rejuvenations.

Another 12 week Core Health Series comes to an end in Sarasota and once again it's sad to see the

participants in the group leave.

As always, we have grown very close. It's like summer camp. It seems to go so fast and then it's

gone for good.

Core Health is such a rewarding process and so interesting. What a legacy Dr. Ed Carlson has

created for future generations.

What a joy to be a part of something so good and so positive.

Stillness Journal - My Personal Spiritual Journey...

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Sat, 15 May 2010 18:30:00 +0000

May 15 am - Stillness Journal entry... my personal Spiritual Journey

This email was definitely a message corresponding to my meditation and stillness this morning. Part of my daily practice of Unceasing Meditation.

Subject Line: Guiding You on Your Path

"Actually, there does not seem to be any particular guidance. In fact, if someone is guiding you, that is suspicious, because you are relying on something external.
Being fully what you are in yourself becomes guidance, but not in the sense of vanguard, because you do not have a guide to follow. You do not have to follow someone's tail, but you sail along. In other words, the guide does not walk ahead of you, but walks with you."

Wow talk about absolutely perfect target marketing from the Universe.

Walking -Meditation

Walked a brisk 2.2 miles in the hot sun in shorts and no shirt (about 35 minutes in total with sun screen - working on metabolism and tan at the same time ~ 10:00 am before the sun is too hot)

As I walked I repeated my Breath Prayer silently.

I also did the cell door opening exercise and filled all 55 Trillion cells, will, emotions, mind , heart and energy body with light, the Presence of God, Joy Wisdom, Power and Love with each in breath and then with the BREATH WIND and blew all emotional debris and junk and cobwebs and tension and confusion out the back of the cell .

Then did the overflow exercise into the cells and overflowed into the will and overflowed into the emotions and the heart and then mind and the energy body with Light, Love, Power, Wisdom and the Presence of God.

Consciously choosing: Living out of and through the overflow...

As I visualized this and felt the warmth and the light within my being, I sensed a powerful connection to the Bliss Breeze blowing through and around me and a connection with the bird song and even the sounds of internal combustion engines.

The sounds of the passing 'racing' motorcycle engines were a thing of beauty as I felt the Presence of God through their sound - almost smiling at the joy and the playfulness and the pleasure of seeing a creation that entertained - so well - the rider and that expression of joy and appreciation of God came through. And I saw it and felt it in the smiles of passers by - some walking dogs with dogs gazing at me.

I felt the connection of God within the loving interaction between a teenage boy riding point on a bicycle for his gorgeous, healthy blond mother who was jogging gracefully in a syncopated and synchronized manner. She ran with a grace that was gazelle-like, the way they bound and express the energy of Life and God through motion and the physical expression of energy.

There was joy in this expression - God's, mine, the mother, the son and Universe around them all playing with the dance and enjoying experiencing it.
I faded in and out of my Breath Prayer and became more and more aware of the me - the being-ness that is part of the big picture and a quiet gentle voicing saying within:

"I am part of God and God is part of me and I am part of everything and the universe and it is part of me."

It all flowed and brought joy and a sense of absolute belonging and serenity and stillness.

I am not alone. I know now that I only ever imagined that to be the case. I never have been alone. It was all a projection on my internal 'holo-screen' - a self made truth that has only ever been true within my head.

Bliss is ever present. Joy is the natural default. Love is currency of the Universe.

Great sweat, great workout, great walk, great activation. Great internal connection. Good to be home again.

Today's profound awareness came in writing an email :

The following is the body of that email:

Did you see my status on Facebook yesterday? Seems like it relates to the Abraham quote today

"The Universe does not know whether the vibration that you're offering is because of something you're observing or something you're remembering or something that you are imagining. It just receives the vibration and answers it with things that match it. --- Abraham"

I just realized something else from that quote:

I never conceived of the Universe and the God Mind as a gigantic sub-conscious mind before this moment. It just records and responds and does not decipher any messages or interpretations.

The Universe simply responds to the energetic vibrational pattern. That is all. No interpretation, no evaluating, no reaction - just vibration.

This is a big learn for me.

This is part of my email response:

Dr. Ed is right about results. Kind of like 'what good is anything if it doesn't work?'.

I'm finding it easier to make simple choices - almost like a computer:

0 or 1

yes or no

weak or strong...

The difficult part for me is remembering to listen and choose - instead of doing without choosing. The unceasing meditation has really helped me be clear about the internal noise and my 'inner voice' and I am much less reactive.

I just realized something else when I re-read this:

When I am 'doing', I have to choose. When I am being, there is really no choice because there already is alignment. In that case, the only choice is to accept what is coming "in your direction" or not. The key to understanding this was the phrase I used: 'instead of doing without choosing'.

Doing = choosing to be in alignment or not. Being = Alignment

Wow... Cool aha.

Here is my related Facebook status:

We only ever have two choices. Ask yourself: Does this make me WEAK or does this make me STRONG? The question is always very simple yet we try to complicate things. We can only choose weak or strong. Choose whatever makes you strong.

What a day of revelation and stillness...

I AM Grateful. I Am Michael Barrett

Core Health Certification and Graduation...

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 23:54:00 +0000

We all have events and experiences in life - life changing moments - that matter a great deal: our first love, getting the cool car we really wanted, getting married, graduating from college, finding our purpose in life...

Well for me one of those moments took place last Sunday night in St Petersburg Florida, I graduated from the intensive Core Health Facilitator training. I AM now a certified Core Health Facilitator, one of 65 in the entire U.S..

Here is my blog talking about the Core Health Certification and Graduation.

I worked diligently when I was in college to get my undergraduate degree switching majors three times after two years of study in each major. And I was really relieved and glad to graduate.

Sunday was a much more important moment for me in my experience because graduating as a certified Core Health Facilitator is the culmination of years of study in energy and natural health.

Truly the training was challenging and intensive yet because I love the work and the subject, it was easy for me to saturate myself in the experience and the learning.

Core Health is the answer western culture has been seeking to in-power the individual to expand their true core of health - quickly, deeply, easily and permanently.

It took me 7 years of college degree. It took me 6 intensive months to go through Core Health Certification process for Levels 1-12. In reality it took me 35+ years to prepare myself for Core Health. It is my true calling and it answers a longing deep within me because I know it is the truth.

I am so proud of this designation because I truly understand what it means and what it took in my life to get to this point.

I am so grateful to Dr Ed Carlson and to the many exceptional teachers along the way. Thank you for guiding me to step back into my personal power. Thank you for believing in me when no one else did. Thank you for your patience with my anger and human frailty.

Bless you all.

Core Health: Freeing and Clearing...

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 07:47:00 +0000

Core Health is an amazing mechanism for freeing and clearing all the layers of junk we carry around with us - the left over emotional debris and general distortions about life accumulated since childhood.

2009 has been a year of transition for me.

A great deal of this transition has been an amazing, joyful and exciting experience. It has been a challenging and demanding year of magical love, healing and clarity with occasional clouds over the horizon.

I found something out.

When we seek to align our inner authentic selves with our outer daily expression of who we are in the world - and really go after it - we change. Whether we like the results of the change or not, we end up different.

In my experience, sometimes change is really an uncomfortable thing at first and until just this moment I have not clearly known why. I just got it...

We avoid change - or feel reticent about it - because on some intuitive level we know that we are going to be different. Different doesn't always feel good or comfortable.

On the other hand, I almost always feel better when the changes are rooted in doing the inner work, growing and expanding.

Because I chose to change my life this year it happened. I have ultimately pulled out of a rut and although the transition was often intense and not what I had anticipated, I AM grateful...

Two big factors in 'putting Humpty Dumpty together again' were Core Health and Heart Forgiveness. I have described these before in other posts as:

a human consciousness defrag program and/or

extreme makeover energy edition.

Using comprehensive kinesiology, Core Health and Heart Forgiveness focus on freeing and clearing all the junk and debris out of our energy and uncovering the true core of health within us.

Thank you and bless you Dr Ed Carlson for being persistent enough for thirty years to figure out Core Health and make it a reality for mankind.

I AM Grateful for the growth and the opportunities to learn more about who I am.
I AM Grateful for my amazing health.
I AM Grateful for my children and my friends and family.

Heart Energy - Strengthening and Balancing 1

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 17:17:00 +0000

As I get further into the significance of the heart chakra (the vibrational and harmonic energy patterns emanating from the heart area), my desire to fully understand this intensifies.

So I keep looking, reading, studying, and practicing how to harmonize the truth I AM in my Core with the person I AM on the outside in the world every day.

The heart is a big deal.

The heart is not only a metaphor for human expression, or a source of emotion, or an organ to pump blood through the human body - and get oxygen to the brain.

It is much more than this.

Science, more specifically quantum physics and biology, is beginning to understand that the heart actually is the central mixing bowl - if you will - for energy (emotions) from the three lower emotional centers in the body where it is integrated with energy (thoughts) from the three upper energy centers. The result from this mixing bowl is 'feelings'.

I wrote about this in my heart forgiveness blog which includes a video where Gregg Braden talks about this subject and says that the 'feelings' act like little beacons - attractor fields - that attract to it more of whatever vibrational patterns are being emitted.

This is a deep subject.

I've been a qigong student and practitioner for over 20 years so energy is a big part of my life. Lately, the focus on heart energy has become a primary interest for me in an effort to learn how to apply self forgiveness in my life.

This is first of series providing practical methods of harmonizing, strengthening and balancing heart energy.

Feedback and suggestions are appreciated.

I AM Blessings.

Heart Forgiveness - Dr Ed Carlson and Gregg Braden meet...

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 11:41:00 +0000

In June of 2009, I met Dr Ed Carlson for the first time.

He was the second dentist I have met who is also a martial artist. The first was Dr Jeff Alexander (warriorspirit.org) who paid his way through dental school as a professional boxer.

Dr Ed is a terrific teacher and mentor who has dedicated much of his life to helping mankind. I was introduced to Dr Ed by a Facebook friend, Pamela Gregory, who has a popular Facebook group called Forgiveness Healing. We have subsequently become close personal friends, have completed our Heart Forgiveness Facilitator certification and are about to complete our Core Health Facilitator certification.

Anyway that's how I met Dr Ed Carlson...

For six intensive months Dr Ed has been my teacher, mentor and friend as I have studied with him. Dr Ed is compassionate, kind and a very bright man. I'm glad to say that he is my friend, he has helped me change my life.

Recently Dr Ed Carlson and Gregg Braden had a chance to meet and share ideas in Tampa. There is a picture of them in this blog along with a video of Gregg Braden talking about consciousness.

Heart Forgiveness - Dr Ed Carlson and Gregg Braden meet.

Have you noticed lately how many people - in different arenas - are all talking about how our energy patterns and vibration...

I have.

I have also been interested in energy for a long time as a qigong practitioner.

Check out the blog.

I AM Blessings,

Heart Forgiveness and Core Health Changed My Life

noreply@blogger.com (tonsofenergy) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:37:00 +0000

Heart Forgiveness and Core Health changed my life in 2009.

Heart Forgiveness answers so many things for me - things like:

How do I actually forgive myself and live without anger?
How do I truly love myself?
How do I uncover my inner power and step back into my personal power that I lost somehow from divorce, disappointment and setbacks?
How do I - once and for all - release all the negative programming, attitudes and emotions that I've been carrying around most of my life?
How do I manifest my true purpose and greatness in this life?

A major plus this year was learning how to open my heart in a new way. In a bio I created, I talk about coming to terms with forgiving myself and how this came up in my life. You can read that discussion here:

What Led Me to Heart Forgiveness and Core Health

There were a number of things that happened this year. Like finding and understanding the beauty of the ocean for the first time and relocating 3000 miles to get certified as a Core Health Facilitator and a Heart Forgiveness Facilitator.

This year's highlights include new things I studied:

Core Health
Heart Forgiveness
The Discourses of St Germaine
Dr Bruce Lipton's work
Dr David Hawkin's "Power vs Force"
Tibetan Yoga
Illumination Intensive
Heart Forgiveness re-Treat

Friends, Extended Family and Family:

Spent a couple of months with my children and getting to know my grandchildren
met a wonderful spiritual family at Ananda Sangha in Palo Alto, CA
and another one amongst fellow Core Health students during the training
established a whole new family of friends worldwide online

It's exciting to launch an entirely different career and it's exciting.

I'm finally on the right path again.

Life is pretty darn good.

I AM Blessings,

Michael

Core Health Facilitator Blog, Bruce Lipton and The New Biology (video)

Core Health Facilitator Blog, Dr Bruce Lipton and "The New Biology" (video)

About six months ago, I met a fabulous lady - Pamela Gregory - on Facebook who subsequently helped me a great deal. She has the popular "Forgiveness Healing Facebook" group. As an EFT Practitioner, she helped me work through a very difficult period. We have become close personal friends.

Because of Pamela's prominent online presence, a young health and fitness professional named Neil Habgood contacted her. Neil was working and studying with the founder of Core Health, named Dr Ed Carlson at the time and as a result of these contacts, we are all (Pamela, Neil and myself) getting certified together as Core Health Facilitators. We complete this certification process in Dec 2009.

This is truly a fabulous system with immense potential to help people in so many different areas. It is exciting, it is cutting edge, it is measurable and it works.

Check out the latest blog and see what you think.

Core Health Facilitator Blog, Dr Bruce Lipton and The New Biology...

There is a great video of a lecture by Dr Bruce Lipton, author of The Biology of Belief, in the post, very worthwhile. Please comment and ask questions.

Getting late after 13 hours of intensive training today and another day tomorrow.

Better get some shut eye...

Take care and thanks for stopping by.
