Two forces at work

There are two big forces at work, external and internal.
We have very little control over external forces

such as tornados, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain.
What really matters is internal force.
How do I respond to those disasters?
Over that I have complete control.
-- Leo Buscaglia

There is only one purpose for all of life....

There is only one purpose for all of life, and that is for you and all that lives to experience fullest glory; your highest potential.

Everything else you say, think, or do is attendant to that function. There is nothing else for your soul to do, and nothing else your soul wants to do. The wonder of this purpose is never ending.
Should there come a moment in which you experience yourself in your fullest glory, you will in that instant, imagine an ever greater glory to fulfill. The more you are, the more you can become, and the more you can become, the more you can yet be.
The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew.

Seek, therefore, not to find out Who You Are, seek to determine Who You Want to Become."
-- Ancient Script

Be Thankful

BE THANKFUL

By Author Unknown

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference.

It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.

My responsibility

My responsibility as a multidimensional human being and citizen of the universe is to anchor a strong vibration of love, joy, gratitude, and appreciation. Any other emotion only adds to the collective anguish.

Keeping a diary with a purpose

Positivity Revisited

A diary can play many roles. It can be a confidant, a vehicle of self expression, a tool that facilitates clarity of thought, or a repository of dreams. A diary can also be a powerful source of comfort during challenging or traumatic periods. When you record those insights and incidents that clearly demonstrate you are on the right track, you can return to your words days, weeks, or months later and find uniquely soothing reassurance. A diary with a specific purpose can be a good tool for keeping track of experiences before the passage of time can skew your perception of events. It reflects the immediacy of your life and thus provides you with a landmark to return to when you begin to doubt yourself. If doubt does arise, simply open your diary to reaffirm your experiences. The confidence, surety, passion, and bravery you felt in a single moment is preserved, giving you a means to recapture those feelings in any place, at any time.

Your diary serves as a repository of personalized encouragement. Since a diary is, by its very nature, as individual as you are, you should give some thought to the type of diary that will serve you best. A synchronicity-and-connections diary might describe those instances where seemingly random occurrences came together in a meaningful way, propelling you forward. Or you may find strength in the pages of a pride diary that makes note not only of those times you felt proud of yourself but also precisely why you were pleased with your efforts. And a cause-and-effect diary can help you become more decisive by reminding you of all the wise, life-affirming choices you have made. Your diary should be small enough to be readily portable and on hand whenever possible because the faster you put your thoughts down on paper, the more authentic your declarations are apt to be.

Regardless of the type of focused diary you choose to keep, your recollections will create a positive feedback loop that helps you cope with doubt in a constructive way. Reading through your diary when life seems uncertain can show you that your misgivings are unfounded. As you draw consolation from your uplifting words, you will know without a doubt that you are indeed living your purpose and following the path that you committed to before birth.

What message did you most need to hear?

"One word frees us from the weight and pain of life; that word is love."

--Sophocles

In exploring the enneagram, Riso and Hudson have identified ‘lost messages’ that we needed to hear as children but didn’t. The absence of these words may be at the heart of our most basic fear. And unconsciously we may still be seeking to hear these words from others. Review the following messages and note if any one touches you more strongly than the others:

1. "You are good."
2. "You are wanted."
3. "You are loved for yourself."
4. "You are seen for who you are."
5. "Your needs are not a problem."
6. "You are safe."
7. "You will be taken care of."
8. "You will not be betrayed."
9. "Your presence matters."

"Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are -- chaff and grain together -- certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away." -- Dinah Mulock

Be here and now

Be here now

"This moment is the moment of reality, of union, of truth. Nothing needs to be done to it or to you for this to be so. Nothing needs to be avoided, transcended, or found for it to be so."
-- Da Avabhasa

Creativity, connection, soul, inspiration and intuition are available only in the present moment for the present moment.We choose how actively we take part in the cosmic dance of life. We can become wallflowers, mere spectators to life, if we get trapped in the patterns and habits of the past. Or we can choose to dance by being present and open to the energies, the opportunities and the guidance available to us each moment."


Each today, well-lived, makes yesterday a dream of happiness and each tomorrow a vision of hope. Look, therefore, to this one day, for it and it alone is life."-- Sanskrit poem

"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment."-- Henry David Thoreau

First snow.

We have snow ! As I look out of the window I see rooftops covered in a blanket of white snow, sun peeping through grey white clouds. I'm resting and recouping after a most enjoyable and full week .

My dear friend Penny from England was here for a week and left yesterday. Of course there was lots of chatting and sharing over dinners and leisurely breakfasts . Then there was Sanna and Emil's wedding on Saturday. My contribution a yummy chololate truffle cake which entailed certain amount of planning and braving public transport to get it to the other side of town in one piece. A particularly tricky task as it turned out since my right leg ( an old skiing accent injury ) had started to really give me trouble. I'm having my knee X-rayed today. All healing welcome and appreciated.

After seeing " The Secret " I am paying partcular atention to my thoughts, inending and manifesting simply the best for the higher good.I especially like the knowing that "There will come a day when all the superficial concerns fall away ". In a sense, I think, " why wait, why not NOW ? " Lovely thought, don't you agree ?

There will come a day

There will come a day when your innermost imaginings will become your outer reality.

What are you choosing to imagineright now?

There will come a day when your habits will be so firmly ingrained that they'll carry you along without you even thinking about them.


What kinds ofhabits are you working to develop?

There will come a day when you'll suddenly encounter a magnificent and wonderful opportunity that's just perfect for you. What are you doing todaythat will prepare you to make the most of that opportunity?

There will come a day when all the superficial concerns fall away. What areyou doing in this moment to give real meaning and purpose and substance tolife?

The things you do today affect not only today. They build you and prepare you and position you for all the days that will come.That makes this very day your most important opportunity. For the person you choose to be today is the person who will carry you forward toward all those days that will surely come."-- Ralph Marston

Intention for today .

I intend to create a world that is always in support of me and for the highest good.

YES !

Financial tip of the day

When I notice anxiety about my finances arise , I take a deep breath and use an affirmation—a few words or phrase—to redirect my thoughts in a positive and encouraging way.

“I have everything I need at the moment”

or

“My world is full of abundance.”

Using affirmations usually helps disperse worries and amxiety and help me feel confident about my life and what you I have.

Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot.

In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.

-- Oscar Wilde

Fear, panic , anxiety , depression

Last night, just before going to bed , I watched " Boston Legal ". One of the lawyers there was suffering from night terrors, a form of sleep walking during a nightmare and probably caused by stress. He woke up standing on a ledge outside his bedroom window hundreds of feet above the ground !!

So these fearful thoughts were on my mind just before going to bed and I couldn't help thinking the thought " What if this happens to me and I try to jump off my balcony naked as the day I was born " !!!! hehehe I 'm laughing now , but I seriously considered moving a chair or something heavy in front of the balcony door. That's the power of fear for you !

The text below is written by Mark Myre and I think it makes sense. I would add these comments to his 2 fear / anxiety buster suggestions:

" What am I feeling right now? " I would suggest , before naming the feeling , simply stay with the feeling and breathe through it .

" How can I feel just a little bit better? "I would suggest , question the thought form by asking "Is so? "

This works well for me when fear rears its ugly head especially in the middle of the night .



" Anxiety and depression are symptoms. Somewhat like hunger pains.
Dealing with life - (which includes depression and anxiety!) - involves awareness of the present moment. Life didn't happen last night while you were watching TV. Life is happening right now in this present moment of time as you're reading these words.

You don't deal with your anxiety yesterday. And you can't deal with it tomorrow. You can only do the best you can in this present moment. For example, what are you feeling right now as you read these words? And is there any way you could feel just a little bit better?
If you keep these two questions in mind, you'll be laying the foundation for a life free from depression and anxiety.

* What am I feeling right now?
* How can I feel just a little bit better?

That's where it begins. Of course, there are MANY things you can and should do if you want to feel better. But keep in mind it's always a moment-by-moment thing. If you'll be responsible for what you're feeling *right now* - that will go a long way towards preventing the crisis or the avalanche or the sabotage of depression and anxiety.
Not being responsible for what you're feeling right now is like building your house on a sandy foundation. You never know when your life will come crashing down around you.

While you can end your current depression and/or anxiety by taking various actions, you KEEP IT FROM COMING BACK by accepting responsibility for what you're feeling in the present moment.
Accept and embrace WHATEVER you're feeling right now. Then release it so you can reach for a slightly better thought/feeling. It all happens right now! "

Personal power

Personal power and authority issues are connected to the third chakra. The colour of the third chakra is YELLOW. The third chakra furthers the development of self-esteem and personality, separate from your tribal identity. This is where you learn to draw and maintain strong boundaries and a personal code of honour.

Affirmations help in healing and balancing process. I confess I have always had problems with authority figures , which is why I find this particular affirmation so refreshing and helpful.


I am the main authority in my world. No person, place, or thing has any power over me, for I am the only thinker in my mind. As a child, I accepted authority figures as gods. Now I am learning to take back my power and become my own authority figure. I accept myself as a powerful, responsible being. As I meditate every morning, I get in touch with my own inner wisdom. The school of life is deeply fulfilling as I come to know that we are all students and all teachers. We each have come to learn something and to teach something. As I listen to my thoughts, I gently guide my mind toward trusting my own Inner Wisdom. I grow and blossom and entrust all my affairs on Earth to the Divine Source. All is well. I am the author of my life.

-- Louise Hay

Ask and is is given.

Ask and it is given

Since Every Request Is Granted, There Is No Competition
Each point of view matters; every request is granted; and as this amazing Universe unerringly expands, there is no end to the Universal resources that fulfill these requests. And there is no end to the answers to the never-ending stream of questions—and for that reason, there is no competition.

It is not possible for someone else to receive the resources that were meant for you, and you cannot selfishly squander resources that were intended for someone else. All desires are answered; all requests are granted, and no one is left unanswered, unloved, or unfulfilled. When you stay aligned with your Energy Stream, you always win, and somebody else does not have to lose for you to win. There is always enough.

Sometimes our physical friends have a difficult time remembering this truth because they may experience some shortage in their experience, or observe it in the experience of another. But what they are witnessing is not an evidence of shortage or a lack of resources, but instead the disallowance of the receiving of the resources that have been requested and answered.

Step 1 has occurred: The asking is in place.
Step 2 has occurred: The answering is in place. But
Step 3, the allowing, has not occurred.

If someone is not receiving what they are asking for, it is not because there is a shortage of resources; it can only be that the person holding the desire is out of alignment with their own request. There is no shortage. There is no lack. There is no competition for resources. There is only the allowing or the disallowing of that which you are asking for.

Ask and It Is Given is the bestselling book by Esther and Jerry Hicks on the teachings of Abraham.

"You cannot be joyful without spreading your joy. You cannot be sad without spreading your sadness. You cannot be well without spreading your wellness. You cannot be sick without spreading your sickness. You cannot be poor without spreading your poverty. You cannot be prosperous without spreading your prosperity. Whatever you be, you exude to the ends of the Universe. The entire Universe benefits by that which you be."Expressed by Abraham-HicksSelected by Jerry and Esther Hicks

Birth , birthing a new life, a dream

Birth marks the shift from one dimension to another. New life, new ideas, new forms come into being.

Rosh Hashanah starts in a few days , 22nd September. The Kabbalists explain that our souls are born anew at this time. Just as a child’s physical DNA is encoded at birth, a person’s spiritual DNA is rewritten for the year on Rosh Hashanah. And it is rewritten according to our desires !!! good news .



Some of my favourite affirmations .

" I love , trust and approve of myself "
" I am responsible for my well- being and health. "
