ON FEAR AND CONFLICT

ACIM 

Chapter 2 VI.Fear and Conflict - 2.

2You would not excuse insane behavior on your part by saying you couldn't help it. 3Why should you condone insane thinking? 4There is a confusion here that you would do well to look at clearly.

A Course in Miracles doesn't ever leave me out cold. I love how simply things are said, with such profound effect. The quote above was from the first thing I read this morning. I had ACIM on my computer table and opened it. The whole passages 1 and 2 state that Fear seems involuntary, even though it is not (according to ACIM) and that fear shows that you have taken thoughts of the body trying to infuse them to your being. Which doesn't work, creating fear. Fear of shame, fear of violence, fear of hurt feelings. So it is insane to cause this to yourself once you know of it, right?

As much as you wouldn't go on an insane rodent killing spree - you should be aware of your thoughts.
Woody Allen said it well at end credits of Vicky Cristina Barcelona, 'Cristina continued searching... certain only, of what she didn't want.'

If you do not want to feel hurt, angry, jealous, timid, burned, then it is up to you to see what causes it, and is that valid.  Many people say yes it is valid it is a human emotion - lets look at that... Human emotions, part of your human existence - if you are nothing more than the body and brain impulses, neutrons in your wave length then perhaps fear is part of you. But if you believe that there is more to you than this body, that there is existance beyond the physical body then ask your self if that existence feels fear?
If you answered no, then perhaps it is time to start body training period to let go of the illusion that you have to be afraid of various emotional of physical dangers.
Know that people aren't out to get you, each and every human being is your brother or sister going through this same human experience. One being not above another, but on a different place from you.
When this is realized, it is so easy to love one another as the sister or brother that they are to you.

QUOTE - LUCK

"Luck doesn't solely belong to the realm of gambling though. Good luck is also: having good health, beautiful friends, green traffic lights, and finding a worm in your apple (instead of half a worm)."

NEWS - WHERE MINDFULNESS MATTERS

WHY MIDFULNESS MATTERS
By Jason Marsh / May 17, 2010
This month on Greater Good, experts explain the benefits of mindfulness--and how you can cultivate it.


It’s been 30 years since Jon Kabat-Zinn launched his Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. What began as a bit of a lark—an attempt by a molecular biologist to bring Buddhist meditation (minus the Buddhism) into the mainstream of medicine—has grown into a genuine social movement, with variations of the MBSR program developing everywhere from elementary schools to hospitals to the halls of Congress. At the same time, a growing body of research has documented the physical and psychological health benefits of practicing mindfulness, even for just a few weeks.

Still, the term “mindfulness” is likely to raise more than a few questions. For starters: What, exactly, is it?

“Simply put, mindfulness is moment-to-moment awareness,” writes Kabat-Zinn in his groundbreaking book Full Catastrophe Living. “It is cultivated by purposefully paying attention to things we ordinarily never give a moment’s thought to. It is a systematic approach to developing new kinds of control and wisdom in our lives.”

Kabat-Zinn has made it his life’s work to promote secular applications of mindfulness. And this month on Greater Good, we’re highlighting why that work is so important.

Throughout the month, we’ll be featuring stories by pioneers who have applied Kabat-Zinn’s MBSR program to different realms, from schools to prisons to childbirth and parenting education to the lives of Iraq war veterans. Each story is unique, but they all demonstrate the profound benefits that can come from cultivating mindfulness: reduced stress, heightened compassion and self-control, and a deeper engagement with the people in our lives. And they all make clear that these benefits can be made available to almost anyone with proper training.

This training can take different forms. Kabat-Zinn has stressed that although mindfulness can be cultivated through formal meditation, that’s not the only way.

“It’s not really about sitting in the full lotus, like pretending you’re a statue in a British museum,” he said in his presentation at a recent Greater Good Science Center event. “It’s about living your life as if it really mattered, moment by moment by moment by moment.”

NEWS - MEDITATION HELPS INCREASE ATTENTION SPAN

Source: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/07/100714121737.htm

MEDITATION HELPS INCREASE ATTENTION SPAN

ScienceDaily (July 16, 2010) — It's nearly impossible to pay attention to one thing for a long time. A new study looks at whether Buddhist meditation can improve a person's ability to be attentive and finds that meditation training helps people do better at focusing for a long time on a task that requires them to distinguish small differences between things they see.


The research was inspired by work on Buddhist monks, who spend years training in meditation. "You wonder if the mental skills, the calmness, the peace that they express, if those things are a result of their very intensive training or if they were just very special people to begin with," says Katherine MacLean, who worked on the study as a graduate student at the University of California, Davis. Her co-advisor, Clifford Saron, did some research with monks decades ago and wanted to study meditation by putting volunteers through intensive training and seeing how it changes their mental abilities.

About 140 people applied to participate; they heard about it via word of mouth and advertisements in Buddhist-themed magazines. Sixty were selected for the study. A group of thirty people went on a meditation retreat while the second group waited their turn; that meant the second group served as a control for the first group. All of the participants had been on at least three five-to-ten day meditation retreats before, so they weren't new to the practice. They studied meditation for three months at a retreat in Colorado with B. Alan Wallace, one of the study's co-authors and a meditation teacher and Buddhist scholar.

The people took part in several experiments; results from one are published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. At three points during the retreat, each participant took a test on a computer to measure how well they could make fine visual distinctions and sustain visual attention. They watched a screen intently as lines flashed on it; most were of the same length, but every now and then a shorter one would appear, and the volunteer had to click the mouse in response.

Participants got better at discriminating the short lines as the training went on. This improvement in perception made it easier to sustain attention, so they also improved their task performance over a long period of time. This improvement persisted five months after the retreat, particularly for people who continued to meditate every day.

The task lasted 30 minutes and was very demanding. "Because this task is so boring and yet is also very neutral, it’s kind of a perfect index of meditation training," says MacLean. "People may think meditation is something that makes you feel good and going on a meditation retreat is like going on vacation, and you get to be at peace with yourself. That's what people think until they try it. Then you realize how challenging it is to just sit and observe something without being distracted."

This experiment is one of many that were done by Saron, MacLean and a team of nearly 30 researchers with the same group of participants. It's the most comprehensive study of intensive meditation to date, using methods drawn from fields as diverse as molecular biology, neuroscience, and anthropology. Future analyses of these same volunteers will look at other mental abilities, such as how well people can regulate their emotions and their general well-being.

FEELING DIFFERENT - WHAT'S THE NORM?

I came across this post on spiritual forums where a question was asked, "Who else is different from the spiritual masses?"

Which lead me to do some thinking - see I have since awakening at 13 felt different. ofcourse I was, I was smack in the middle of school and believed in life beyond earth, meditating, visions, tarot cards and alien contact. And not in the cool, I'll dress up goth style and scare some people. I was the same as ever before, earth tones, jeans and the occasional loud sweater we were so fons of in the 90's. I was so different on the inside I was bullied as well - thorougly bullied [I have forgiven them, and hope that it hasn't added karma onto them, but taken some of mine away] all the way through school. Which ofcourse added to the feeling of being different.

This continued for a long time, this very profound feeling of being different - I realized it is because I don't present the norm of sociaty. The norm of sociaty is, pick-a-religion, pick-a-family, work-like-crazy, get-a-debression, scurry-on.
What I did was not pick a religion, boyfriends, chose studying instead of work - but it turns out being "different" comes with debression as well.

So, I make it to adult age and start working, and find myself different again. I just don't fit in - screams the ego.
Finally after years of 'shut ups' to the ego - I figure it out, at the tender age of 28.

I AM NOT DIFFERENT.

That's the answer. Simple, huh? Well-- getting there wasn't. ;)

None of us is "different". I had come to a place in my Spirituality when few fact had solified, first my Higher Self [my highest form of existence that is a part of god/creator/essence of life] had become more reality than ever, I believed in enlightenment, and saw everyone on earth as part of my family.
Then I came across A Course In Miracles which changed whatever there was left in me.
There was talk of there is no separation, which finally unified everything that I had in me.
This truly profoud feeling of family, brothers and sister in the soul level emerged and I got it.

We aren't different, our bodies are, our ego reactions are, but in the essence we are not different.

We are One. You are as much part of me, as I am You.

Upholding this in daily life is suprisingly easy - as is all, it is light and simple and easy if you let it.
But still as in 3D body it's not 100% of the time.
But we can try, we can uphold Unity and see it manifest.

DIMENSIONS - SOUL FAMILY

I'm reading Suzan Carroll's "Becoming One..." online as PDF. file. It's one of the books I presented before as being free. She herself allowed free access to her books.

She goes through the Dimensions in Chapter 2, explaining very well why crystal therapy works, how each rock, flower and animal is a brother or a sister - part of the soul family.

From: http://www.becomingone-book.com/freedownload/Vol1_Chapter2.pdf

First-dimensional consciousness
is awareness as a point.
The consciousness that resonates to this dimension is
the Mineral Kingdom that both people and planet both in their
bodies. Current third-dimensional science has not proven that
minerals have any awareness as we recognize it, but healers
and shamans have been using crystals as healing tools for
many centuries.
As humans, our first-dimensional consciousness is
unconscious—it is in fact a state of not being conscious of our
five physical senses. However, the first dimension is a portion
of our bodies and represents the minerals, water, cells, and
genetic codes that are the foundation of all physical forms. If
we could access this level of our unconscious, we could
connect with Gaia and all her creatures via the most basic
common denominator, the individual molecules. Perhaps we
could even consciously access our own genetic coding.

Second-dimensional consciousness
is awareness as point and line.
The consciousness that resonates to this
dimension is biological matter, such as the Plant Kingdom,
which covers our beautiful planet, and the lower Animal
Kingdom, such as reptiles and fish. The consciousness of this
dimension does not possess self-awareness. These beings are
only conscious of their species' identity and their need for
feeding, fighting, and procreation. Their consciousness is
based upon survival of the fittest and they live solely within the
awareness of the moment.
Human second-dimensional consciousness is centered
in the lower brain, also known as our "reptilian brain," which
directs the autonomic nervous system to regulate and maintain
life support functions. Our five physical senses are largely
unconscious of this component of ourselves, but with training
(such as biofeedback and meditation) we can establish some
conscious awareness and control. Yogis, for example, are
known to achieve enough conscious control of their autonomic
nervous system to regulate their heartbeat and metabolism.
"Primitive" peoples are much more aware of this
"animal" portion of their physical form and, therefore, have
conscious access to their basic instincts and an awareness of
how they are a portion of a greater whole. Unlike "civilized"
man, they have a constant respect for all life and the balance of
nature.

Third-dimensional consciousness
is awareness of point, line, length, breadth, height, and volume.
The primary consciousness of this dimension is the higher Animal Kingdom
(including humans). Just like our third-dimensional planet, our
third-dimensional body is composed of all the elements of the
first and second dimension: water, minerals, genetic coding,
and biological matter, as well as an individual Soul. It is this
individual Soul that distinguishes humans from the other
members of the Animal Kingdom who mostly have a group
Soul.
The name Gaia is the Greek noun for “land.” In Greek
mythology, Gaia was the primordial element from which all the
gods originated. Gaia was worshiped throughout early Greece
but later fell into decline and was supplanted by other gods.
Like the ancient Greeks, we have stopped revering the land
that gives us a home and we have instead turned to worshiping
power and money. However, what good will those gods do us if
we have no land on which to live? As we remember our
multidimensional consciousness, we will no longer need to
worship anything or anyone. Our consciousness will expand to
embrace all the dimensions from the first to the twelfth, and we
will be united with all life.
Our third-dimensional Earth is locked in a time/space
and cause/effect paradigm. This dimension is a schoolroom
that our higher-dimensional Souls attend by inhabiting
humanoid, physical bodies to learn more about creation. In the
third dimension, life mirrors all that we are seeking to
understand. Therefore, the process of creating via our thoughts
and feelings is slowed down so that we can track the
circumstances of what we hold in our consciousness.
There are different stages of human consciousness
aligned in a hierarchical manner, which often, but not always,
coincide with our age:

FIRST LEVEL
In the first level of consciousness, we are dependent on
others for our survival. In this state of dependency, we do not
realize that our consciousness holds the seeds of the lives we
are creating. We believe that we are powerless over our
environment and that we are victims to the circumstances of
our lives. Our goal in this level is to gain enough selfawareness,
as we mature beyond this child-state, to become
independent.

SECOND LEVEL
In the second level of consciousness, we are
independent. This independence develops as we learn that we
can control our own life. Through our choices and experiences,
we gain trust in our ability to be responsible because we
respect ourselves. This respect is based upon our sense of
personal power. Without this sense of personal power, we are
filled with fear, which reduces us to surviving. Although age is a
factor in gaining our independence, it is certainly not the only
way we gain independence. It is the ability to self-reflect and
learn from life’s experiences that pushes us on to the third level
of consciousness.

THIRD LEVEL
In the third level of consciousness, we are dependable.
This dependability develops as we gain enough trust and
respect for ourselves that we can become responsible for
others. Through life’s experiences, we have learned that we
definitely have an impact, not only on our own life, but also on
the lives of others. Because of our earned self-esteem, we feel
confident that we are reliable. We have “earned” our selfesteem
by taking the time to recognize our victories, no matter
how small.

EXPANDING THIRD-DIMENSIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS
As humans, we have the ability to remember the past
and the future while remaining aware of the present. However,
much of our true SELF becomes lost in our unconscious mind.
This loss leaves us with a feeling of separation from the whole,
a fear that we are limited in our ability to achieve our desires,
and a belief that we have to work hard to accomplish our goals.

ANATOMY AND ASCENCION THROUGH JUNK DNA

I have forever had great interest in anatomy of human beings, it was peaked when I was studying for my Practical Nurse decree and Anatomy came up. The human body is exceptionally interesting!

From Suzan Carroll's "Becoming One - Chapt.1 Awakening to SELF 'Discovering our multidimensional nature'."

This latent potential could also connect us to each other and to the planet. After all, we are currently using only 10 to 15 percent of our brain, and scientists have told us that at least 90 percent of our DNA is “junk DNA,” or DNA with no identified function.
If we can rise above our fear and live in the unity of love [ me: love creating state of unity among humankind ], perhaps we can awaken the vast, untapped abilities of our greater, true SELF. After all, where in nature is an organism only 10 percent functional? The answer is, when an organism is in its chrysalis form. We have been programmed by the world around us to believe that change is frightening. However, we can look into our lives and remember times of great challenge when we were frightened that we might not make it through, yet we later found that that period of change actually lead to great improvements in our lives.
What is Junk DNA? -  What is Chrysalis form?

I have forever had great interest in anatomy of human beings, it was peaked when I was studying for my Practical Nurse decree and Anatomy came up. The human body is exceptionally interesting! If you think about it we are extremely fragile - only a thin film of skin holding our insides in - with the help of the muscles and the skeletal system AND intricate network of alarm systems such as the nerves. There is SO MUCH potential in this fragile casing, most of it in the brain.
I have always been having questions about the brain relating to spirituality - why does humanity in 3D have this urge to use their imagination? Why do we have it? I've played with the idea in my own mind that it is a climbs of the future state - or to but it perhaps better or past state. Think way back, way back when we weren't part of the Earth Experience.

Of course human being in 3D being what they are got things bit garbled.

We have subconscious memories of what we are originally, that translates to what we are here, we are - if you allow me to use some humor here - a poor man's version of us.

What we truly are and know, such as Love, Family, Anatomical Entity and pretty much all else are being garbled by our 3D state and body. Our version of love, was for a long time merely romantic love until lately when we remembered Unconditional Love in a grander scale [of course there have been masters, Buddha, Jesus and 'Gods and Goddess' who knew this and lead by example] we got a climbs of the true nature of LOVE.
Same with Family, our 3D version of family is sister, brothers, mothers and so on, when originally it encompassed All, this is the Soul Family, you are as much my sister, my brother, as any blood relative.
Humankind tries very hard to bring forth their true state in our 3D world - I try very hard.

With that said back to the brain! The sleeper DNA, the waiting to be activated DNA is doing just that it sleep waiting to be awaken.
Every culture in one way or another calls your spiritual awakening, surprise, awakening. You are asleep, and you awaken sometimes gradually, sometimes behind the garbage cans od'ing with drugs. The microcosm, macrocosm applies here as well - as it does with all life [and death] - every cell, nerve and muscle fibre plays the microcosm of your existence - read any medical journal or study any book and you can see the connections, the similarities with human life. They are there for all to see.
The DNA waiting to be activated to me means enlightenments - notice the plural - Enlightenments because to me there are stages of enlightenment we have to go through, get soaked in. A gradual process which every human being does in their own pace and own selection. They aren't as much steps we all have to take, but a room with thousand doors that we all choose ourselves which ones we want to open at which times.
To stay with the metaphor, each door opens, activating more of your DNA.
The complexity of what is behind these doors seems impossible to 3D human beings, especially the last doors unopened. Process is slow - it takes many life times - until slowly it comes closer to an end. Even after our time at Earth is done, our DNA isn't done.
There is much talk of spirit guides and ascended masters having degrees of enlightenment - which has brought me to believe that is where DNA continues it's progress in 5D, 6D and so on in another form than human, in a complicated form of Light and energetic vibrations.

Anatomy of human beings and our brain and DNA is absolutely fascinating, why, because it crosses over after earth and continues to be the link between enlightenment and us.

BEING / GOD TERM EXPLAINED WELL

Being, being the better word for God.... why?

"God has become [through misuse] a closed concept. The moment the word is uttered a mental image is created, no longer, perhaps, of and old man with a beard, BUT a still mental presentation of someone or something outside you, and yes, almost inevatably a male someone orsomething."

"The word Being explains nothing, but nor does God. Being however, has the advantage that it is an open concept. It does not reduce the infinite invisable to finite entity. It is impossible to form a mental image of it. Nobody can claim exclusive posession of being. It is your very essence, and it is immediately accessible to you as the feeling of your own presence, the realization I AM that is prior to I am this or I am that."

~ Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

If someone asks if 'you believe in God' - answering 'what kind of God are you asking me if I belive in?' maybe help to clarify things. ;)

TIPS ON RECOGNIZING TRUE MESSAGES

A Spiritual person - one aware of their blueprint of life, one attuned to the energies of the world within and out - can be thrown off by the smorgasbord of channelings and messages, schools of spirituality out there.

It's not always easy to detect the rotten one in bag full of cherries - I am amazed how many people still fall for, what could be called a benign false channelling.

What I mean by this is spiritual people who channel within the realm of their ego and emotions.

These people dab into things when they aren't quite prepared enough, reasons for ego meddling can be as simple and small as not protecting yourself, not asking for a filter of getting messages only through Beings of Light. Or to bigger problems of tainted emotions, that leak into the channeling.

Here are some identification for a benign false channellings/messages.

• Text entitles aggression or anxiety - True messages are always only of Light, spiritual guides and beings are beyond negativity, bashing and guilt. Here is an example of channelling gone wrong: "You are too gullible and weak, fragile to realise what light there truly exist within you! Let go of your weakness and embrace the true light of your being!" I have bolded the warning sign words.
• Text has a feeling of threat - True Light beings never try an scare you with the end of the world talk, they know there is no end, no time, no fear to begin with, so they will not try an intimidate you. Here is an example: "Your world is dying, things done have gone too far, light vanes in only but few of you. You did your best, but it was not enough. We leave you with this last statement, do what you still can before earth as we know evaporates to war." I have bolded the warning sign words.
• Text flatters you personally - Light doesn't build one above the other, there is no separation between the states of the soul, no one is better than the other. Light beings all acknowledge that we are all equal. Example: "You alone can stand the altar of God and be atoned for the sins of mankind, there is a light in you not seen in others of your kind, you are the leader of this movement of light - it is your duty to rise above others and be the true master of light." I have bolded the warning sign words.

I have always had a very good radar for these - and I know many people who agree with me on these things. I was lucky enough to have a small talk with a experienced channeller when I was 17 who helped me indentify wrongs from right.

Basically be careful of all the things you can identify with you ego - fear, flattery, anxiety, threat and anger. These signs will tell you that the channeller was influenced and the text in its whole is not adaptable to your spirituality.

How to protect yourself and get a clean channelling / message?

• Always begin with protecting your aura - envision a golden orb of light around you emanating from inside you. If you wish ask Archangel Michael to protect it (that is a sure way to stop any outside influence of ghost or disturbed spirits who haven't move on yet).
• Ask that only Beings of Light maybe step forward - this eliminates the identities mentions above. If you are still unsure what being you feel you can ask it 'Are you a Being of Light?' They cannot lie to you, if they do not answer, dispose of them. Ask Archangel Michael to help if you need it.
• Remain passive and calm - your emotions do not belong here, stay calm and listen and experience. Keep your own thoughts at ease, if your ideas and emotions are array then the channelling will be effect by you and your ego, hence qarbling the true message. It is good to have practiced mediation and quieting before channelling so you know how to relax and quiet when channelling.

Navigating the spiritual waters will be easier with these simple tools.

UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS VISUALISATION FOR ONENESS

I did this just now - this very morning of the 19th - and I don't think at all it is diminished by the date. The Unity Consciouness was "launched" on 17th and 18th and is to be upheld as long as there is life.
This invocation / visualized meditation is perfect for when ever you feel separated or anxious, there is light to this that is magnificent. Like always don't get attached to the words - but look at the meaning behind it, feel the origin and love. People view god differently , but we all probably agree that God or Higher Self is Acceptance, Unconditional Love, Bright Forever Lasting Light - same goes for other word Altar of Love or Purity of Heart means the same even though the words can be taken differently.

Let go of the physicality of words - they are sign posts toward the destination, not the destination themselves.

Enjoy, Love, Laugh and Be!

The whole article can be read at http://www.eraofpeace.org/latest-news.php

Please join with me now as we invoke the Light of God on behalf of Humanity and all Life.
To prepare our hearts and minds to receive this influx of Light, let’s join together in one-pointed consciousness. I will lead you through this guided visualization in the first person, so that we will all experience this activity of Light individually, but KNOW that the invocations we make this sacred day for ourselves, we make for ALL Humanity and every particle of Life evolving on this sweet Earth. And we begin.
I AM going within to the deepest recesses of my heart, the secret place of the Most High Living God. There I kneel before the altar of Love and surrender my lower human ego to the perfection of my I AM Presence, my true God Reality.    (pause)

My I AM Presence takes full dominion of my physical, etheric, mental, and emotional bodies, and I AM lifted up in consciousness. The Light of God fills my Being, and I ascend into the Realms of Illumined Truth.

Within this octave of Light, Unity Consciousness flows into my Heart Flame and floods the Earth to bless all Life. As Humanity is consecrated with the Light of Unity Consciousness, specific genetic codings are activated within every person's RNA/DNA structures. These codings contain the Immaculate Concept of each one's Divine Potential. This activity of Light empowers every Beloved Son and Daughter of God to fulfill their Divine Purpose and reason for being.

Through this activation the mind and emotions of every person are purified and realigned with the Harmony of their True Being. This purification paves the way for the conscious mind and the super-conscious mind within every Human Being to merge and become One.

In this state of at-one-ment, Humanity's I AM Presence takes command and the life, body, mind, and soul of every person is quickened and lifted into a state of enlightenment that clears the way for Unity Consciousness and the fulfillment of the Divine Plan.

Unity Consciousness contains a clarity and frequency of Divine Love that transcends ALL obstacles. Held in the embrace of this Divine Intelligence, we comprehend the Truth that we are One with all Life, and we are One with our Father-Mother God. Unity Consciousness contains within its essence our full potential to rise above all human conditions and all self-inflicted pain and suffering, for when we join together as One we become a force of unlimited and unspeakable power.

With Unity Consciousness, I recognize and revere the Divinity within every Human Being. I peer into the heart of every man, woman, and child, and I see a radiant Being of Light abiding within every Heart Flame. As I acknowledge each person’s Divinity, the I AM Presence within their heart begins to expand.

As the I AM Presence of each person increases in power and dominion, the obsolete beliefs and behavior patterns associated with fear and separation, or lack and limitation, begin dropping away. Regardless of the depths of negativity the Human Being has fallen to, his or her I AM Presence now takes control and corrects their course of direction.

I now breathe in deeply and assimilate the Light of Unity Consciousness into my physical, etheric, mental, and emotional bodies. For a sublime moment, I revel in the wonder of this magnificent Light.

Through my I AM Presence I consecrate my Life to be the Open Door for Unity Consciousness until the patterns of perfection for the New Earth are manifest, and all Life belonging to or serving the Earth at this time is experiencing the Divine Qualities of Liberty, Divine Justice, Freedom, and Victory in the Light. And so it is, Beloved I AM.

Quote: At Last my life changing Mp3 Guided Meditation and Visualization down loads are FREE! As a Life Coach I want to provide you with every tool possible so you can have the best life ever!

I always knew the answer to helping people start on this amazing journey of meditation and visualization, was through guided meditation. I found that many people have a problem meditating and visualizing on their own.

I have been using these techniques for eighteen years and I know how powerful they are! I started by experimenting with many different types of guided meditation tapes, some had breathing exercises, others had guided imagery some had music and sounds.

I took the best of everything and designed my own Mp3’s that includes everything that works for me all wrapped up into one!

Scroll down the page there are Seven so far, more coming up.

LIFE PLAN

It has taken me 28 years to come to full grasps with my life plan. I was 13 when I realized I had one, I was 16 when I realized I only knew small parts of it, I was 19 when I came to accept that. And even after that it took steady jumps within every 6 months of each other, for me to get to where I am Now.

The Power Of Now says to focus not in your past or your future but where you are right Now - a fact that I agree with whole heartedly. That said I think the last insight is good to be processed so it can be let go.

My whole life I have been happily agreeing with others, not rattling the boat with a smile on. Sometimes I thought that meant that I was a pushover, sometimes I thought it meant I was timid or weak, even to the extenct where I was very angry with myself for it. But these past few months of intense Spiritual soaking in the light I've realized that to be what I am now, I had to be calm, quiet and agreeing when I was younger.
I didn't know it then, but I know it now.

It never was weakness, timidness, cowardness - it was pacifistic. 

When you are teenager being peaceful is extremely hard, so I imagine my slow/tranguil, undisturped nature helped me to be just that. We all get closer to the end of our cycle on Earth - and lately there has been signs that my karma is coming to an end as well. If I wasn't a pacifist, my karma would not be coming to an end in this lifetime or even next. The end of the cycle is all about PEACE, being a pacifist at turpulent times.

When I was younger, even just 6 months ago, I thought my peace was a sign of some sort of weakness.

I could not be seeing clearer Now - there is nothing weak about me! 

Now that I am at a clear about who I AM and how that is in perfect alignment with my Life Plan, I'm agreeing that I finally am at complite agreement with myself, conscious self, subconscious self and Higher Self.

Why did I write this, other than to get it out of myself to release my understanding and knowledge to the universe?

Trust your Life Plan, you made it, you know it works, you know you don't always get it - UNTIL YOU DO.

THE CONSCIOUS CONVERGENCE 17th & 18th OF JULY 2010 - TAROT READING

This read is based on Why this Conscious Convergence came to be, what difference will it make, what the outcome will be and what will be my role.

If you haven't heard of "TCC" before then click the link below first for a statement about what this weekend will be about.

The Conscious Convergence

This event will take advantage of the Influx of Divine Light that will be expanding through the Cosmos on July 17th & 18th, 2010. This activity of Light is being initiated by Dr. Carl Johan Calleman who is a scholar of the Mayan Calendar and prophesies.

The card not shown but at the center of the cross, represents the atmosphere surrounding the central issue (TCC). Six of Swords (Science): Trusting in intelligence and intuition and setting off into the unknown. Leaving an untenable situation and charting a new course. Passage from difficulty and progress towards a solution. The road to recovery. Travel and exploration.

The card visible at the center of the cross represents the obstacle that stands in your way - it may even be something that sounds good but is not actually to your benefit. The Hermit: Withdrawal from events and relationship to introspect and gather strength. Seeking the inner voice or calling upon vision from within. A need of understanding and advice, or a wise man who will offer knowing guidance. Personal experience and thoughtful temperance.

The card at the top of the cross represents your goal, or the best you can achieve without a dramatic change of priorities. Three of Wands (Virtue): Personal fortitude and strength of character. Accumulated power set in motion towards a distant goal. The initiation of an enduring partnership based on absolute trust. Honor maintained in a time of desperate struggle. Taking full responsibility for a decision, and bearing the solitude of leadership.

The card at the bottom of the cross represents the foundation on which the situation (TCC weekend) is based. Four of Pentacles (Power): Cleaving to earthly power in the desperate fear that it will be lost. Making yourself an obstacle to progress due to lack of originality and a desperate fear of change. Believing that security and identity are based primarily on the possession of material things. Coveting things and people. Living in a cloud of suspicion and prejudice.

The card at the left of the cross represents a passing influence or something to be released. Nine of Wands (Strength): A pause in the current struggle to ready oneself. Preparation to meet the final conclusive onslaught. Forces assembled in anticipation of trials and tribulations. The steeling of the will to stand or fall. A line drawn in the sand.

The card at the right of the cross represents an approaching influence (that needs to be unarmed) or something to be embraced. Five of Pentacles (Worry): Hard times brought on by addiction, wasteful spending, ill health, or an outside event. Rejection, loneliness, and the need for comfort. May suggest unemployment, a catastrophe in personal finance, or a turn for the worse in business.

The card at the base of the staff represents your role or attitude. Ace of Swords: The seed of victory - perhaps as yet unseen. A challenge to be met and solved through the invocation of force. An opportunity to bring reason and intelligence to bear in the pursuit of justice and truth. An excessive power that must not be abused. May suggest new ideas or information that can reveal a solution to the problem at hand.

The card second from the bottom of the staff represents your environment and the people you are interacting with (outside TCC). Five of Swords (Defeat): A success earned through personal degradation. Separation from friends brought about by an unfeeling and coldly calculated act. Temporary victory tainted by dishonor and providing fuel for eventual defeat.

The card second from the top of the staff represents your hopes, fears, or an unexpected element that will come into play. Nine of Cups (Happiness): Contentment and satisfaction in romance, friendship, or other relationships. Achieving your deepest desires and savoring beauty and sensual pleasures. A state of joy and abundance radiating fulfillment and bliss.

The card at the top of the staff represents the ultimate outcome should you continue on this course. Three of Cups (Abundance): A time of merriment and reflection spent in the company of friends and loved ones. The conclusion of a matter in plenty and perfection. The strength of a diverse community being brought together. May suggest a celebration, festival, anniversary, wedding, baby shower, or other joyous gathering.

What better outcome for this weekend is there than Abundance!

LAST OF THE KARMIC DEBT BEFORE "THE JUMP"

A quote got my attention when I was looking through the new channelings at Lightworkers.com.

The reason for this disparateness is as we have explained over the passing years...that there is a group of souls here to usher in the era of peace...to anchor the pillars, and in doing so, make the coming world possible for all to experience.In this deeply embedded quest for light, those of you who have been the grid anchors, divining rods and bridge builders have had an immeasurable amount of karmic energy to sort through. With much other-worldly experience, you have had the role of expunging, cleansing and filtering the outworn energies from the earth's grid and ley lines so that new energies could replace the old and so all others could experience the infusion of new light through a greater expansion of love.
~ http://lightworkers.org/channeling/110634/yout-powers-are-returning-exponentially

This quote is what brought on the question, if we are sorting through great amounts of karma then could it be close to an end of our cycle?
When I say close, I mean few more lives - after all if the world is to either take a jump toward positive or negative then emptying the karma bank account is crucial. Why on both cases?

Easiest first, if thing are moving towards the bad and inevitably the end for large amount of humans then lingering here with plenty of karma doesn't suit me atleast.
And for the positive - if we clear our karma before the "giant leap for mankind" it is easier to help those who need adjustment towards the positive, balanced existance with nature.
I like to think all this that I have went through in my life (and I'm not saying this from scorn or acidly) has been clearing of my karma so that lives after this are rid of it, until the very end of my cycle here.

It is crucial now to not create more.
It's crucial to find balance with people, with nature, with my body - and very importantly with my emotions and the truthfulness.

Hardest liar to spot is ourselves - don't let your ego dictate your state, but calm and relax it and let your light shine through first.

Addition: Tarot reading "Shadow of Truth" spread - Question: "Is my karmic cycle at it's end?"

The card in the center represents the attitude you assume. The Tower: Unforeseen Change. An abrupt change, perhaps leading to a new lifestyle and enlightenment. May indicate great change in business or career or relationships.

The card to the right represents the thoughts and feelings that underly your attitudes. Two of Coins(Change): Balance and harmony achieved in a time of upheaval and transformation. Taking two steps forward for every one step back. Shifting the importance of projects and priorities to keep everything on track. A change in occupation or location.
The card at the top represents how your attitude is evolving and will evolve in the future. Four of Wands (Completion): A chance to rest and rejoice, having successfully resolved a matter of great importance. The blossoming of a friendship or romantic relationship. Conclusions drawn based on hard won experience. Spiritual, material, or emotional rewards for diligent effort.

The card to the left represents how others perceive your attitude. Page of Swords: The essence of air behaving as earth, such as a steady wind: The approach of an unexpected challenge, to be met with clear thought and just action. A person filled with an eager appetite for all matters of mind and logic. The gathering of information through unfaltering vigilance, careful examination, and subtle spycraft. The use of reason or eloquent speech to penetrate the veil of confusion and cut to the heart of the matter.

The card at the bottom represents what you cannot confront or are hiding from yourself. Knight of Cups: The essence of water behaving as fire, such as a rushing river: A passionate romantic, full of charm and beauty, but prone to extremes. Forceful idealism blended with gentle kindness. An eager and intense person, forward with their emotions and tender in their support of others.

The last brought me to giggles - 'prone to extremes', maybe not extremes but I do tend to get very invested very quickly on matters that I take to heart. I know where my Heart Is even if it is dicriped as 'forceful/powerful idealism blended with gentle kindness'.

This reading just confirms my thoughts of the day - universe either confirms or dismisses, it's not big on confirming you are wrong as it doesn't acknowledge illusions. ;)

ARCHANGEL MICHAEL & PYRAMID OF POWER

We will now help you build your Pyramid of Power where you will go in your quiet time and sleep time to receive healing, nurturance, to create that which you desire and to also seek a "Divine Solution" for any situation or challenge that you may face.


Envision, however you perceive, a pyramid of Light and through your intent state that it will be manifested in the fifth dimension. There is a capstone on your pyramid and it contains a spiraling Rainbow Ray of Light which contains all the colors, virtues, and attributes of our Father/Mother God. As you move into the interior of your pyramid, look around: the walls and floor radiate an inner Light, and there are twelve crystal chairs in a circle (you may wish to add more from time to time). There is a crystal table in the center and when you lie on it, it conforms perfectly to your body. There is a magnificent clear quartz crystal hanging over the center of the table. The crystal is faceted at both ends and the upper portion penetrates the capstone of the pyramid. This is the basic structure of your pyramid, however, we suggest that you add your own personal touches as you visit your sacred temple and make it your own.

MESSAGES FROM ARCHANGEL MICHAEL

LM-3-2001 TRANSMITTED THROUGH RONNA HERMAN

☼ CREATING YOUR PYRAMID OF POWER IN THE FIFTH DIMENSION ☼

Beloved masters, it is time to stop pretending that you and your world are not changing moment by moment and thought by thought. It is time to stop denying that a New Age is upon you, and that with every thought and action you make a decision as to whether you will follow the Light or the shadow side of life. Do not project your thoughts into the future, and please allow the past to correct itself, for it will do so as you move higher into the fourth dimension, and all the negative thought forms of Earth's history are brought into balance.

Last month we spoke of using your cosmic resources. Allow us to give you further en-Lighten-ment as to how your thoughts and conscious intent affect the future. There are many parallel futures (or probable futures) for the planet Earth that have been created by the collective consciousness beliefs of humanity. You also have many parallel or probable futures that you have created for yourselves-some weak, some strong-and there is usually one that has the greatest possibility of manifesting because you have fed it the most energy. Anyone who makes predictions usually taps into the probable future that has the most dynamic energy. But due to your free will the future is malleable and can change in an instant.

We also explained how we harvest the energy of the collective consciousness of humanity each year, and after closely examining the "State of the Earth" a decision is made as to which parallel future we must focus on. Earth is still a free will planet, however there have been special dispensations made in order to assist you in the process of evolution and ascension. When you align your intent with Spirit by stating "Thy will be done," or by asking for the "Highest good of all," you give us permission to add your loving energy to that of the whole and it is magnified exponentially. This also means that many of the probable futures with less energy are further diminished or even dissolved, for there is no fuel to feed them. Does this help you to understand why you and the Earth are making such dynamic progress and are taking such great leaps in consciousness?

Many of you are beginning to realize that you do create your own world of reality, and are becoming quite proficient at manifesting what you desire. However, it is still somewhat a hit and miss proposition as you learn to perfect your skills as a master. You are still somewhat restricted by the energies of the third dimension as you tap into the higher frequencies of the fourth and occasionally the fifth dimension. Allow us to give you an example as to how most of you are accessing the different vibratory levels and creating with the energies available to you:

Imagine yourself on an elevator whereby you gain access to what we will call the "Cosmic Shopping Mall." The elevator stops at the mid-third-dimensional floor and you get off. Envision a huge room filled with everything you can imagine, but there is total disorganization and chaos. Most items are defective or incomplete and you must dig and sort through many levels, rooms and compartments in order to find something that you want or that is in good condition. There is a cacophony of sound, much discord and confusion as everyone on this floor scurries about trying to find what they wish to claim as their own. There is a sense of frustration and futility amongst the crowd as they scurry from place to place, and an aura of anxiety, impatience and fear permeates the room.

You get back on the elevator and it lifts you to the mid-fourth-dimensional level. As you get off, you notice that everything is much more organized here. There is still some confusion, but it is easier to get through to the areas where the treasures you are seeking are stored. In some places, the items are incomplete or what you might call "seconds," however as you learn to focus on what it is you desire, you are quickly led to the area where it is stored and you can easily access and claim your treasure. There seem to be many different levels here, and as you acquire the "keys of awareness" you are able to unlock the doors where even more precious treasures are stored.

Gradually, you gain access to many of the things for which you have dreamed and yearned. As long as your intent is pure and your vision is unwavering, you may claim the "stuff of your dreams" and bring it all back into the physical plane with you. After a time, you are allowed back on the elevator as it rises to the lower fifth-dimensional floor. You are amazed as you step from the elevator and your heart soars as you feast on the magnificent scene before you. Everything of beauty that you could ever imagine is here; it assaults all your senses and you know that this is where you want to remain.

However, you know that you cannot, for you are only here to fill your treasure chest of dreams to take back to Earth with you. Anything your heart desires is instantly manifested before your eyes. Everything on this floor is exquisite in its perfection-there are no mistakes or "seconds" here. You find that your desires quickly change and it is not so much "things" that you wish to manifest but qualities, virtues and attributes. Now that you know you may have anything your heart desires, creating and claiming "things" takes on a new meaning.

Does what we have described sound like a fairy tale to you, dear friends? We tell you it is not. It is exactly how you manifest and create in your world of expression. Sometimes you tap into a little of the higher-dimensional energy patterns and it seems like a miracle when your desires are fulfilled. And you wonder why sometimes "it" works and sometimes it doesn't. We will now give you a fail-proof way to access the fifth dimension and its treasures any time you wish.

We have spoken often of the "pyramid" and its power. We have assisted you in building a pyramid in the fifth dimension where you join with your soul family and other star travelers. Hopefully, you visit there often as you join together in loving intent-sending Love/Light and healing energy to the Earth and all humanity. We will now help you build your Pyramid of Power where you will go in your quiet time and sleep time to receive healing, nurturance, to create that which you desire and to also seek a "Divine Solution" for any situation or challenge that you may face.

Envision, however you perceive, a pyramid of Light and through your intent state that it will be manifested in the fifth dimension. There is a capstone on your pyramid and it contains a spiraling Rainbow Ray of Light which contains all the colors, virtues, and attributes of our Father/Mother God. As you move into the interior of your pyramid, look around: the walls and floor radiate an inner Light, and there are twelve crystal chairs in a circle (you may wish to add more from time to time). There is a crystal table in the center and when you lie on it, it conforms perfectly to your body. There is a magnificent clear quartz crystal hanging over the center of the table. The crystal is faceted at both ends and the upper portion penetrates the capstone of the pyramid. This is the basic structure of your pyramid, however, we suggest that you add your own personal touches as you visit your sacred temple and make it your own.

We will give you several examples of how you may most effectively use your pyramid. Let us say that you have a situation of conflict with someone in your life. In a meditative state, go into your sacred pyramid; be seated in one of the crystal chairs and envision the other person sitting across the room from you with the crystal table in the center. Ask the Higher Self of the person to join you and you may wish to have a dialog with this person, but please, place your ego in the passive mode and speak from the heart with your soul as the director. Objectively state your case and then place the situation on the crystal table and ask for a "Divine Solution" and the highest outcome that serves you both. Envision the Violet Flame of transmutation blazing up from beneath the table surrounding the situation as it balances and harmonizes the energies within the thought form/situation.

Now, see the great crystal hanging over the crystal table begin to glow and streams of golden Light flow forth (they will look something like your strikes of lightening that you see in the skies during a thunder storm). First, these streams of "Lightening" will focus on the crystal table and the situation, then they will spread out to each of you as they eventually fill the room. You will have tapped into the energy of the "Divine Source" and you, the other person and the situation will be "charged" with the cosmic life force of Creation. Then, you must relinquish the outcome to the wisdom of Spirit. You must switch to "auto pilot," you might say, whereby you cannot know where you are going or what the exact outcome will be, but trusting that it will be of the highest order.

If you wish to focus on your physical vessel, an illness, or an imbalanced situation, place yourself on the crystal table. State your desire, which may be specific or just a general "tune-up," you might say. Ask your Higher Self or I AM Presence to be your cosmic facilitator and oversee the process as the Violet Flame blazes up and surrounds you and then the beams of Lightening are activated. This will greatly enhance and speed up the process of releasing any residual impacted negative energies within the physical structure and building your vessel of Light. You will find that you will not be allowed to place anyone else on your crystal table without their permission or in special cases with the permission of their Higher Self.

Spend time within your Pyramid of Power when you have a decision to make, and to solidify and energize your visions and aspirations. Here you may use the Universal Laws of Manifestation in their most dynamic form as you become proficient as a master of cocreation. Spend time clarifying your vision of the future in all areas: spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. We have given guidelines for manifesting your desires before, now we ask you to apply them within your pyramid of power and watch as the miracles unfold.

If there is a group situation, say within the family or the workplace, see everyone involved seated in the crystal chairs and place the situation in the center. Ask each person's Higher Self to stand behind them, overseeing the process. Again, place the situation on the crystal table, envisioning and asking for the highest outcome for all. Ask for the "Divine Solution" and then spend as much time as necessary focused on the energy of the situation as you see the Violet Flame magically naturalize it, and the Lightening of Spirit transform it into its highest form.

At times you may wish to be in your Pyramid of Power by yourself, and at other times you may expand it to any size you wish as you bring in great numbers of people and situations, both large and small, that need to be transmuted into the highest form of expression. By accessing your fifth-dimensional Pyramid of Power, you are bypassing the negative, distorted energies of the third dimension, and the conflicting, ambiguous energies of the fourth dimension. It is time you regain the ability to function within the rarified planes of Light where only perfection is possible.

Beloved friends, you are becoming multidimensional Beings of Light as you integrate your Soul Self and gradually become transpersonal. Many of you have integrated your Solar Self, your Galactic Self and are well on your way to accessing your Source Self. That is what ascension is all about, beloveds-reclaiming the many wondrous facets of Self that you left along the way on your descent into the dreamland called Earth. We know how truly magnificent you are and we see your awesome potential. Step into our world, dear hearts; we are waiting to greet you.

I AM Archangel Michael.
