The Importance of Compassion

Here is another example of synchronicity. I've been trying (unsuccessfully as of yet) to get through 21 days without complaining and I think the reason I and most of us have such a hard time with such tasks is a lack of compassion. When you gain more compassion for others, it's easier to stop yourself in the act of complaining. It's getting a little easier for me, but it's such an ingrained habit that I'm being more compassionate with myself and giving myself more time to learn. So, enjoy this and let me know how your own efforts are going.

April 7, 2008 People Who Don’t Get It

Compassion for All
You may be someone who understands the true nature of reality, perceiving deeply that we all emanate from the same source, that we are all essentially one, and that we are here on Earth to love one another. To understand this is to be awakened to the true nature of the self, and this understanding is a blessing. Nevertheless, people who just do not get it are seemingly everywhere and, often, occupy positions of power. It can be frustrating and painful to watch them behave unconsciously. We all encounter individuals such as this in our families, at work, and in all areas of public life. It is easy to find ourselves feeling intolerant of these people, wishing we could be free of them even though we know that separation from them is an illusion. It helps sometimes to think of us all as different parts of one psyche. Within our own hearts and minds we have dark places that need healing, just as the heart and mind of the world have their dark places. The health of the whole organism depends upon the relative health of the individuals within it. We increase harmony when we hold on to the light, not allowing it to be clouded by judgment, anger, and fear about those who behave unconsciously. It is easier to accomplish this if we don’t focus on the negative qualities of individuals and instead on how increasing our own light will increase that of the overall picture. When dealing with people who seem very unconscious, it helps to remember that everyone must find their own way to awakening, and that the experiences they are having are an essential part of their process. Holding them in the glow of our energy may be the best way to awaken theirs. At the same time, we are inspired by their example to look within and shed light on our own unconscious places, sacrificing the urge to judge and surrendering instead to humble self-inquiry.(This is an excerpt from the new DailyOM Book.

Can You Do It?

While tuning in to CBS Sunday Morning on Easter Sunday, I noticed an interesting story about a small town where a church pastor was giving out bracelets to remind people not to complain. The objective is to go at least 21 days without a single complaint. Well, most people thought it was impossible and and there weren't many success stories yet, but I think it's a great concept. As a law of attraction follower and practitioner, I really need to stop all complaining because I know it sends out the wrong kind of energy signal. As someone on another forum so eloquently put it once, complainers are crap magnets. Or something to that effect. Just think of the negativity that fills your whole being while in the act of complaining. Not what most of us are after.

I thought since this is the first day of a new month, I would start the day trying to go without complaining. And I've got to say, it's much easier said than done. I've already had to stop and restart a couple of times. And it's only been one day! How many of you think you can do it? Can you go a whole 21 days without a complaint? Good luck and wish me the same.

Until next time, be prepared for the best!

Quantum Success

I just started reading this book by Sandra Anne Taylor and it's fantastic. If you're like me and thought you'd read everything there is to know about the law of attraction and The Secret, you haven't until you've read this book. It explains not only how quantum physics works, but how you can make it work in your favor instead of against you. It's much more than just positive thinking. You've got to make it a way of life. And once you do, your life will change in so many wonderful ways. Mine has already. I'm so grateful for this book.

Also, it helps to know EFT or TAT to get some kind of way to clear your old negative beliefs and replace them with new ones. I'm working on this aspect now and everything is just going so much smoother in every area in my life. I even did my first successful healing on someone else--I'll save that topic for another post. For now go out and get this book. It's so worth it.

Until next time, be prepared for the best!

Earth Hour

Here is an excellent idea to promote earth abundance. And it's free and easy to participate. Think of ways to have fun with this. Until next time, be prepared for the best!

ONLY 10 DAYS UNTIL EARTH HOUR


The momentum is building for Earth Hour—8 to 9 pm, March 29, 2008—the global movement to shut off the lights for one hour to make a bold statement about climate change. More and more individuals, businesses, and even cities are planning to participate. Together, we’ll deliver a powerful message to the citizens and leaders of the world about the need for action on climate change.

Earth Hour is an opportunity for each one of us to take action, influence others and start a wave of change that alters the course of climate change. But turning off your lights is just the beginning. What can one person do in the face of a global challenge? Here are some easy tips to help you make a big impact:

Make it Happen

It’s easy and free to be part of the Earth Hour movement.

* Be sure to be counted. Sign up for Earth Hour and commit to turning off your lights on March 29 from 8 to 9 pm local time.

* Urge your friends, family, colleagues and contacts to show their support. It’s easy to engage and inspire. Use or modify our sample Tell A Friend e-mail.

* Blog about Earth Hour. Add an official Earth Hour web banner to your blog, website, or online page. Or start a conversation about climate change when you wear Earth Hour stickers.

* Spread the word. Earth Hour could be just the excuse you’ve been waiting for to knock on doors on your street or in your building. Ask them to go dark. Create your own event, such as a neighborhood Earth Hour celebration.

Reach Out, Speak Out, Go Out

Shutting off non-essential lights for WWF’s Earth Hour on March 29 will give you some time to think about how you can be smarter about the Earth’s resources.

* You don’t have to sit alone in the dark. Talking about protecting the planet for future generations can make for a very pleasant evening. Couple your conversation with some organic chocolate (dark, of course!) and make Earth Hour a night to remember.

* Earth Hour is on a Saturday night. If the weather’s good, try a picnic under the stars. Ask your favorite restaurant or bar to dim their lights and participate in Earth Hour. And if you’ll be at work, take a look at our tips for businesses and restaurants.

* Plan a get-dark party for Earth Hour. The younger crowd can host a slumber party complete with scary stories, hold an acoustical jam session or bring friends together to do some dancing in the dark. Don’t worry about decorations—it will be dark!

* Check in with a local astronomy club about star gazing events. The night sky provides its own light show and here’s your chance to take a break and soak up the view.

* You can still text in the dark. Make a list of all the ways you are going to reduce your energy consumption: unplug unused appliances; change to compact fluorescent bulbs; properly inflate tires; adjust your thermostat. Text your list to others and challenge them to make their own lists. Check other lists for ideas you may have forgotten.

The Earth Hour idea has captured the hearts and minds of people all over the world and I hope that it has captured yours. I look forward to participating in Earth Hour at the same time as thousands of dedicated WWF supporters like you. Thank you for being a part of this amazing event.

Sincerely,


Richard Moss

Firm up your plans for being part of Earth Hour.

You Are Wonderful!

Here is a useful exercise from energy healer Rebecca Marina, who is also wonderful for generously sharing so many useful tips. Do check out her website and youtube videos for more info. on self healing. Enjoy.

1.Do you know what's wonderful about you?



Early this morning, I was sitting on the
balcony, listening to the roar of the waves
when my cell phone rang.

It was a lovely lady from New York
(you know who you are) just calling to
tell me how much she liked my website.

She also said one of my youtube videos
made her fall off her chair laughing.
(sorry, I forgot to ask her which one)


The call made me feel so good, that someone
would take the time to tell me what they
liked about me... I decided to pass the
feeling on.



I looked over the balcony railing to see
if I could see any living person to say
something nice to. (my kids were still snoozin')

I did see Juan, the yard man, but he was
too far away to hear me. so, I just sent him
some nice thoughts and good energy.
In just a few seconds, I heard the sound
of happy whistling.

(BTW_ your thoughts are almost as powerful
as your words.)

Watch this demo to prove it.

Wouldn't you like to get up every morning and hear
something wonderful about yourself?



There are 2 ways to get this.

A. Look in the mirror and tell yourself
something wonderful.
(I suggest you tap while doing this)



B. Tell as many other people as you can -
something wonderful about them.
What you put out, you get back multiplied.


(Start tapping as you read this and accept
the honor that is given)



You know what's wonderful about you Dear Reader?

You take the time to care about
self-development.
You care about helping yourself and others.
You are serving a purpose, even if you don't
know what it is yet.

You have the ability to light up someones world.

No one has the exact gifts you have or the
capacity to use them like you do.

You are unique, no one else can compare to you.

Love, Rebecca

Choosing To Be Cheerful

Today while I was trying to overcome some of my blocks to success, I uncovered a hidden core belief--that I'm not cheerful and outgoing enough to be a successful EFT practitioner. This belief that somehow you need to be super charismatic and charming to be able to help people overcome depression, lose weight, quit smoking, perform at peak levels or whatever else they need help with. I know EFT works wonders, but a part of me is still afraid to go into business for myself.

So with this new core belief uncovered, I tapped on "Even though I'm not a cheerful person...I choose to be cheerful and friendly." Then I let some humor in which always helps with any type of healing and added "Even though I've always been kind of a grouch...I choose to be cheerful now." It not only put a smile on my face but I could really feel a shift in my energy. I now believe I'm a cheerful person. How can I not be? I'm grateful for all the good things in my life and the good that's on its way to me, and I've made a conscious decision to be cheerful.

Yes, it really can be that easy. There are many other issues I've been working on in the last couple of weeks and I'm happy to say, all those little nagging inner voices of the past are finally loosening their hold on me. Right now I am my own practitioner and am happy with my success. I can hardly wait to start helping others. And so far, my bulldog, who was getting aggressive with my Boston terrier and was very fearful of certain situations is getting calmer and more relaxed with each round of tapping I do on him. So far, two success stories. I'm counting on more soon.

Until next time, be prepared for the best.

More on Energy

Here is a Daily Om that shows how the law of attraction works with energy--and the importance of energy therapy to clear your path to abundance. Enjoy!

Undistracted Energy
Pure Thoughts
If we make no effort at all, our thoughts usually scatter in a vast array of directions. They start and stop and move in surprising ways from one second to the next. If we try to follow our thoughts without controlling them, we will be amazed at how truly inconsistent they are. Yet, if we apply our minds to a specific task, especially one that interests us, they gather together and allow us to focus our attention, creating great power and energy. This is what is known as pure thought, because it is undistracted.

The law of attraction—like attracts like—influences all energy, including our thoughts, and this is what makes pure thought so potent. Our undistracted thoughts create a powerful magnet that draws similar energy into our vibrational field. As a result, the longer we are able to hold positive thoughts in our minds, the more powerful the positive energy around us becomes. We don't need to focus on action and controlling so much when we are surrounded by energy that draws what we want toward us. We can simply respond to the opportunities that naturally come our way. When this is the essence of our experience, we can go with the flow, knowing that we will be okay.

If pure thought is a body, it is our emotions that supply the heart that can really bring it to life. Our thoughts and feelings exist in relation to one another, and they form a feedback loop through which they communicate and empower each other. When we hold a thought in our mind without being distracted, we have achieved pure thought. When we have a positive emotional response to that thought, we enable it to dance and move and breathe itself into existence.
