the power of our thoughts

Beloveds,

I had a powerful demonstration yesterday of the power of our thoughts. Way of Mastery suggested taking two pieces of metal and bending them ( in an L shape) so they can be held loosely. then ask someone to think negative, self critical, hateful thoughts. We did this during the class I taught yesterday. A student created negative thoughts while I stood maybe 12 feet away while holding the divining rods. I then walked toward her and the rods began to twist at a distance of about 7 feet. Then she thought positive, loving thoughts and I stood almost 30 feet away. The rods began to move almost immediately as I approached her. We repeated the experiment four times with similar results. For me it was a very transformative moment as I graphically witnessed the power of our thoughts to affect our energetic fields enough to move metal! For me, it makes it more significant that I keep my thoughts uplifted and aligned, recognizing what a significant impact all of us have on the field of energy that connects us worldwide. No one can think a thought without it impacting the field. This is not some airy fairy new age idea. This is a fact you can prove to yourself. Does this give you a sense of you own power? I hope so. We are all so incredibly creative and magnificent. Each of our thoughts contribute or harm the collect. Do not dismiss your own significance. Join me in seeing the challenges facing our world now resolved with ease and grace, in seeing each of us finding our way home and knowing absolutely that we are lovable, loving and loved. If just our blog family did this for one minute everyday, I guarantee the earth would shift to a better, more magical place. Want to come play the world altering game with me? If so, spend just one minute a day imaging your life and the world exactly as you dream of, as Utopia, as a world of Love. And I encourage you to add your comments to this or any other post. By doing so, you have the opportunity to more actively energize the field of connection between us and within yourself.

I am posting this blog on my last two posts as it fits so perfectly with the theme I am recognizing more and more clearly.

election has been called

It seems the decision is final. I ask all of us to come together in love and support, energetically lifting our government leaders as they face the challenges of these times. This is a time for cooperation and connection. May the next four years bring us ever closer to peace and unity.

Read this just now after posting the above last night. It fits perfectly with what I AM knowing.

authenticity and/or compassion

I am really struggling with a question and feel it is particularly pertinent to women. I am finding more and more that there are certain energies I experience as hard to be around. Some of the people exhibiting these energies are acquaintances. I experience the energy as draining. It usually involves my perception that either the person is caught feeling like a victim of circumstances or I experience them as in my business or they are looking to me to save them energetically or in some other way. Now I have done these thing over and over a million times myself yet am generally not in that place now. Several people helped carry me through those times and I am very happy to support them or anyone, as long as it does not feel like an energetic drain, where the person unconsciously or consciously is not taking responsibility for their feelings. I feel uplifted holding space for another to explore their challenges. I feel drained when the other person is holding others to blame for the challenge. That is the easiest way for me to describe when I find it easy to hold for another and when I find it almost impossible. I think as women this is a crucial question. How do I free myself from care-taking and rescuing while remaining compassionate? How do I not add to another's suffering or hit them when the are already feeling down yet remain true to my own needs? I still blame and project  myself or course and did it twice big time in the last week. It took me years to understand that I was not taking responsibility but now I do it less and less. This question is really creating a feeling of separation inside as I twist and turn with it. When I choose not to interact in these circumstances, the person invariably seems hurt, rejected and confused. The dilemma, stay true to what keeps my energy uplifted yet does not feel compassionate? Or be inauthentic and stay when I really don't want to? I'd love feedback on this. Still very much in process and not expressing this very gracefully as I am writing in a hurry and in the heat of the moment.

want a white president, this is hysterical!

this definitely gave me some belly laughs- hope it strikes your funny bone too:

anniversary, gratitude and world meditation

Two years ago on November 1st, I first posted a blog on this site. A friend of my then husband had a blog and encouraged me to start one. To this day, I don't know why. It seemed a bit surprising to me as we had little direct contact with each other yet I felt an energy that really supported me in beginning this blog. This is still such a mystery to me. I thank you Chris for your support. Then my husband took the ball in his hands and just set it up for me while I was still dithering. Trust me when I say this is NOT typical behavior for him. It was a mini miracle delivered from the Universe with the help of the two of them. Thank you Georg for whatever inner impulse had you do that. It helps me rest in faith that this unfolded as surprisingly as it did. This blog is the embodiment of what I have come to realize is, from my perspective, the last critical step toward awakening to the remembrance of our own unlimited power and magnificence. We must find our passion and purpose and extend it in whatever way is unique ours. It might be gardening, raising a child, writing, educating, creating beauty, whatever speaks to your heart. This sharing of our essence catapults us into our own KNOWING of our divinity. So I thank all of you for joining me and supporting me in my own journey of rembrance. We are over 60 countries strong at this point and growing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I came across this world meditation yesterday night. Since it happens to be occurring exactly now, I thought the coincidence was too great to not take it as a sign that I am meant to pass it on. I did the long meditation and had moments of delicious worldwide unity including a very unexpected and outlandish encounter with Hitler (it was a positive encounter.) It was fairly powerful for me. My sense is that the more we do these kind of meditations, the greater we strengthen the field of transformation and the smoother the whole process is. See what you think.

Day of the Dead

Beloveds,

Today is the day of the dead and I want to take a moment to acknowledge all of those who have crossed to the other side and all those still in grief for those who have left the physical plane. I would like to celebrate my mother Ann for sharing all the love she had with me, my father Joe for doing his best and blessing me with what he valued most, education. I sending blessing to my Nanna for her love and delicious cooking! I wish to acknowledge my wasband's father Ernest, knowing that he did absolutely the best that he could. I send love and light to all of those whose beloveds have past over recently and to anyone grieving for a loss. I will light a candle to honor this day.

joy practice for November

So a new month to notice joy. What I am aware of is that this practice definitely increased my awareness of joy in my life. In the beginning some days it was not easy to come up with a lot and one day it was downright difficult. But it got easier and easier as I began to develop a joy filter, seeking to witness joy. I also notice that much of what I would have anticipated would bring me more joy only added a smidgen while other experiences that I may not have fully appreciated before brought me lots of joy. For example, buying things usually has an even shorter shelf life for happiness than I realized, nature and being in holy relationship definitely are my two greatest sources for joy. That includes being in holy relationship with myself and is probably my single greatest source of joy in terms of frequency while I must admit being in holy relationship with another brings me the greatest sense of joy overall. No surprises there. I also see that being on purpose with my intent to be an emissary for the Universal awakening of unconditional love is my fastest growing source of joy. I have frequently read that seeking liberation for just ourself will never work. Until we include others in our quest, it will never be fulfilled, I have read, and now I see that it is true for me too. I now know that the statement that we are all one is not just hot air.
So I will repeat my initial instructions from when I began this practice on October 6th (refer to blog on that date for many samples of what brought me joy last month.)

Because times are so intense it is easy to get stuck in "the problem" whatever it may be. To antidote that I am creating a forum (or maybe a monologue) to share our joy. I will post five or more things I am finding joy in each day. I'll do it for as long as it feels good. Feel free to add your list in the comments or to do it at home on your own. Know that if you choose to do this you will be adding to the aggregate joy of the planet and right now she needs it. It will train our attention to focus on joy and thus, by law of attraction, our joy MUST increase.

I would be delighted if you would like to add your joy list in the comments!!!
