Life Is About Living

I want to be the best that I can be. I want to do and have and live in a way that is in harmony with my idea of the greatest goodness. 

I want to harmonize physically here in this body with that which I believe to be the best, or the good way, of life. 

Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness" #371

What a world that is, when there are endless desirers, who are allowing the fulfillment of their own desires.  Abraham/Hicks

One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one. Agatha Christie

Energy can’t be erased but it can be changed, transmuting negative into positive, darkness into light. This allows you to make the choices you feel negatively about become positive, while also changing your emotional experience. Physically, the violet flame releases emotions and energy pent up within that make you vulnerable to illness and disease.

The violet flame in meditation uses a combination of affirming thoughts and visualization. Once centered, begin by surrounding yourself with white-and-blue protective energy. You may even want to call on archangel Michael for his protection while you go into this powerful spiritual state.

Then repeat thoughts such as "I am cleansed and purified by the violet flame." Picture a huge bonfire before you, its immensity making you feel small beside it, and marvel as the colors flicker between purple, violet, and bright pink. Sense its warmth while noticing that it will not burn you. 

Step into the flame, letting it surround you entirely while also filling the spaces in your body, your thoughts, even the cells and molecules within you. Once there, focus on the positive things you’d like to create in your life or your hopes for others. 

Visualize the violet flame in the midst of the scenes as they unfold in your mind. You may want to ask that the power of the flame be multiplied to assist those in need.

When you have finished your meditation, be sure to close with gratitude. The violet flame is a powerful tool that should be used consciously and with intent. Forgetting to close with thanks keeps you connected and may lead to the unintentional misuse of this energy. 

It is always a good idea when finished with any spiritual practice to give thanks as this creates closure. Saints and adepts throughout the ages have known how to use the violet flame, but it is available for all to use to raise our awareness and, eventually, that of all mankind.

This is taken from the fabulous DailyOM. If you want inspiration, insightful words to motivate you, this is the place to go.

For the regular meditation practitioners and those who are new to meditation i.e. who tend to ignore good advice, if you decide to practise the Violet Flame meditation, please, please follow the advice provided. This meditation is very powerful on an energetic level. 

When you are in harmony with what is and you have stopped tripping over what others are doing or not doing - even in your family - you begin flowing in the well-being stream. It is at this moment that you focus on what you want. 

Keep On Dancing

If you are feeling like you have gotten a little "off track" with your intentions this year, not to worry. Be gentle with yourself. Take a few minutes to read today's post, and just remember to "Keep On Dancing".

What I have noticed lately, is that things don't always seem to happen for the reasons we think, and that can be perfect for us. I started several projects in the last few weeks, that did not work out the way I thought they would, or the way I wanted them to, thank God.

Because they did not work out, space was created for something much better to come into my life. And so, I was able to better understand, that it is not always about the end result of a choice or a project, but how taking that step to go for it in the first place, makes you feel.

What is important, is that you take some inspired action, because your vibration while you are doing something that excites you, and you are passionate about, is what will bring you the essence of what you wanted in the first place.

It just may not come from where you thought it would. What is so freeing about all of this, is that it removes a lot of the fear around moving forward, fear that you may fail, be disappointed again, or even embarrassed. It gives you the courage to just step up to the plate and go for it, no matter what the outcome.

If you are feeling stuck, and afraid to take the next step, or any step for that matter, you will never achieve the life of your dreams. Life is not always about being comfortable. It is about moving forward, out of your comfort zone.

And the interesting thing about it is, that the more steps you take, the stronger and more confident you feel inside, where it really matters, and pretty soon you begin to realize that there truly is nothing that you cannot do, that anything is possible, just as long as you keep on dancing.

It could be affirmations, life goals, inspirational pick-me-ups from Les Brown's Success is a State of Mind, Tony Robbins' How to Create Outstanding Relationships in Every Area of Your Life, Bob Proctor's You Were Born Rich, Napoleon Hill's Golden Rules, Earl Nightingale's As Man Thinketh, Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth, Sean Stephenson's Get Off Your 'But' or any one else. Follow whatever makes you feel good and start now!

Here is a fabulous autosuggestive technique from the wonderful Bob Proctor's You Were Born Rich. 

"So if you find your faith slipping or if you find yourself running low on this great motor power which accomplishes so many wonderful things, you can do something about it. The following exercise works for me - it has for years - and I know it will work for you too.


Note that when you are giving yourself this "mental treatment" , you should always go off by yourself and speak out loud to yourself in a firm, decided tone of voice."

"PUT YOUR OWN NAME HERE", You are a child of God and the being God made was never intended for the sort of weak, negative life you are leading.  God made you for success not failure. God never made anyone to be a failure. You are perverting the great object of your existence by giving way to these miserable doubts of yourself, of your ability to be what you desire with all your heart to be. You should be ashamed to go out amongst your associates with a long, sad, dejected face, as though you were a misfit, as though you lacked creative power within, as though you did not have the ability to do what your Creator sent you here to do.  You were made to express what you long to express. Why not do this? Why not stand and walk like a conqueror, like a David who slew Goliath, instead of giving way to discouragement and doubt and carrying on like a failure?  The image of Perfection, the Image of your Creator lies within you. You must bring it to the center of your conscious thought and express it to the world. Don't disgrace your Maker by violating that image, by being everything but the magnificent success God intended you to be.

As of today, I intend to start posting on weekends instead of sticking to my five-day schedule or basically whenever I get wifi service since the automatic uploads are not working efficiently. Just a little whine.

I'm reading three books at the same time, chapter by delectable chapter from Napoleon Hill, Bob Proctor and James M. Lynch.

They're all about developing one's innate prosperity consciousness i.e. becoming who you already are and fulfilling your life's objectives.

The ability to read awoke inside me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive. ~Malcolm X

When you're in your natural, prosperous state of well-being everything flows. You can handle any challenge because you are fixed and focussed on what you want: not what you don't want.

One is You Were Born Rich by Bob Proctor and I'll be covering the first three chapters in this post after one pleasurable month of re-reading.

I'm already sharing Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill with you as I progress, absorb the messages and implement the lessons in each chapter. Have a look at Desire, Faith, and Auto-Suggestion.

Reading without reflecting is like eating without digesting. ~Edmund Burke

The third book is James M. Lynch's The Hamlet Secret: A Self-Directed Workbook - a very different and inviting format which encourages you to delve into the workbook.

He psychs you out actually because each exercise is based on a particular premise from Shakespeare's Hamlet which appears "simple and straightforward" but in actual fact that's not the case at all.

If you are honest and true, you will find yourself spontaneously spreading your wings as you progress through the exercises outlined between the covers of this Workbook.

He's the Chief Potential Officer - don't you LOVE that title - behind the Do-It-Yourself Life Coach site. Insights from James' Workbook will come later.

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few are to be chewed and digested. ~Francis Bacon

 

Today, I thought I'd share with you what struck a chord in me from Bob Proctor's You Were Born Rich. 

I'll start off by quoting part of the Foreword by Doug Wead which encapsulates what the book is all about.

Bob Proctor has done it again, taking you step by step to the surprising discovery that success is not always "reaching out" for something that you don't have but rather "reaching over" and rearranging the pieces already there... You can instantly apply the conclusions to your own life. It will begin to impact you long before you reach the last chapter.

Before you can do something, you must first be something. ~Goethe 

12- If we wish to attract money to ourselves, we must begin to foster a prosperity consciousness.

Opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth. ~Napoleon Hill

16- Consciousness is, and always has been, developed through thinking, and regardless of what your present situation in life may be, if you ever hope to improve it and truly become wealthy, you must begin thinking of prosperity in you mind, now.

To believe in the things you can see and touch is no belief at all; but to believe in the unseen is a triumph and a blessing. ~Abe Lincoln

20- It is an absolute law of your being that you must have something mentally before you will ever have it physically!

Most people think they want more money than they really do, and the settle for a lot less than they could get. ~Earl Nightingale

Here's a heads up people: For those between forty and fifty years of age and depending on the company, a one to two million dollar life insurance policy costs between approximately forty and seventy dollars a month! It is that affordable any way you look at it. 

Are really up to me.

And I certainly hope that these tips inspire you to take the high road to become prosperity conscious as they have me. Bob Proctor's You Were Born Rich is absolutely delicious and soenjoyable! 

It took me months to open it and obviously now's the time.  Let me know what speaks to you and why. I love conversation!

Feelings are so much are part of who we are as human beings and yet, we abuse our own nature by refusing to be authentic. 

Far too often we refuse to acknowledge our own feelings, stifle them and take it out on others. All the while denying that we have issues. And who does that hurt in the end? Us!

Feelings pave the way for what is to come in your life so it's necessary to watch your thoughts and more importantly, honour those feelings and get them out of the way.

Feeling guilty because you believe that you should feel differently about a given issue is crap. It doesn't matter who it is that's pushing your buttons, get mad if that's how you feel and let it out.

Run your fingers through my soul. For once, just once, feel exactly what I feel, believe what I believe, perceive as I perceive, look, experience, examine, and for once; just once, understand. ~Unknown

If you're feeling disrespected, say so. Don't swallow it; that's the path to dis-ease which eventually turns into disease when it goes on for a certain period of time.

When that emotional dysfunction becomes a habit, it means that you are paving the way to a future full of pain and suffering and obstacles will become the norm in your life. 

Nip that crap in the bud by bringing the issue into the light and dealing with it. Make the best decision that you can and stick with it. Ignoring these words means that you are setting yourself up for more abuse down the line.

That's normal. When it happens, acknowledge it with something like "you again!" and as Wayne Dyer says move on to a better feeling thought.

You can never have a happy ending at the end of an unhappy journey; it just doesn't work out that way. The way you're feeling, along the way, is the way you're continuing to pre-pave your journey, and it's the way it's going to continue to turn out until you do something about the way you are feeling. ~Abraham-Hicks

While these phrases may be used without harmful intent, they are inherently negative. Children can be especially sensitive to such phrases, which may stay with them their whole lives, adversely affecting their self-image and wounding their self-esteem. 

We can create positive change by choosing not to use these words and phrases as we come across them in our vocabulary. Language is an area where we can exercise our free will, creating positive change in the world around us by simply choosing carefully the words we use. ~DailyOM

How well do you honor your own space? How much reverence do you hold for where you live, where you pray, meditate or worship, where you work, where you eat, the planet?

So often we forget that the sacredness of any place is more about how we relate to it than about the space itself. We have the ability to bring a sense of sacredness to anywhere we are, at any time. ~Mike Robbins
