WHAT DO YOU FEED YOUR MIND?

"I then remembered why I avoid the 'news,' if that's what you want to call it. Our 'news' is a misnomer, and it's more like 'the ongoing train wreck you can tune in to at any time when you want to divert yourself from your purpose and your happiness... lose your faith in humanity... and go from feeling like things are pretty good to feeling like the world is going to sh*t and why bother going on, I mean really?'"
-- Ali Brown

Our beliefs create our reality. If we wish to live happy, healthy lives, it's vital that we feed our minds healthy, nourishing material. The negative, sensational focus of today's 'news' media hardly serves to enlighten us about the true state of the planet. Let's open to our limitless potential by keeping our focus firmly on what uplifts us.
-- John Robson

"The world is not dying. It's not falling apart. It's changing. I personally believe that pessimism is an indulgence, despair an insult to the imagination. There are wonderfully positive things out there."

DO YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF?



"We cannot rise higher than our thought of ourselves."
-- Orison Swett Marden



What do you believe about yourself?

If you are experiencing a lack of something in your life, chances are that you hold a belief in your subconscious that says you aren't worthy of having that quality. Write in your journal the answer to these questions for yourself:
-- John Robson

Where are you not good enough, not worthy enough?
How willing are you to receive?
-- John Robson

"We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit."
-- e. e. cummings

We have only to put our problems before Him with a humble and faithful heart and to believe with the simple faith of a little child, and we are promised His guidance and help. If our problems are big, then our prayers should be equally big! And the minute we believe that He has answered our prayers, they have been answered, perhaps not as we wanted or expected, but answered nevertheless. And they are right answers, too.

PERSONAL POWER



"The deep root of failure in our lives is to think, 'Oh how useless and powerless I am.' It is essential to think strongly and forcefully, 'I can do it,' without boasting or fretting."
-- Dalai Lama

Angeles Arrien says that whether we are male or female, we need to develop three kinds of power. People who hold these three powers cannot be ignored.

Power of presence - Being really present in each moment
Power of communication - Speaking my truth
Power of position - Being willing to take a stand
"A man's true state of power and riches is to be in himself."
-- Henry Ward Beecher

"We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces; we become the powerful force ourselves."
-- Leo Buscaglia

=====

BEING GENUINE



"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

When we don't know who we are -- or if we are afraid to be who we are -- we betray ourselves. We pretend to be who we think we are. Our self image is made up of our experiences, desires and other people's ideas and expectations of us.

Maintaining this false self is a betrayal of ourselves. In all deep spiritual journeys, there is the experience of betrayal. Betrayal always tells us to adjust our life to be more authentic. What we identify with is all important.

There are large betrayals (e.g., your partner leaving you) and small betrayals (e.g., disappointments). They are all experiences of being wounded for the purpose of breaking down the defenses of the personality. When we allow the wounding and accept the betrayals as divine gifts, we greatly benefit.
-- John Robson

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
-- Dr. Seuss (via Elena)

"What you must dare is to be yourself."
-- Dag Hammarskjold

=====

THE CHALLENGE OF RELATIONSHIPS



"It doesn't much signify whom one marries, for one is sure to find out the next morning that it was someone else."
-- Samuel Rogers

Despite our passion for romantic love, relationships are not the easiest way to find love and peace. They are, however, one of the most effective for finding our blocks.

Relationships naturally bring out into full view our desires, attachments and unconscious programs - our likes, dislikes, belief systems, judgments, compulsions, conformities, etc. Relationships challenge us because they take us deep into thoughts, feelings and experiences we have suppressed for a lifetime. That's why they provide the very best arena for personal growth!
-- John Robson

"Human relationships are the perfect tool for sanding away our rough edges and getting at the core of divinity within us."
-- Eknath Easwaran

=====

THERE IS LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS



"Each difficult moment has the potential to open my eyes and open my heart."
-- Myla Kabat-Zinn

"Even the most daring and accomplished people have undergone tremendous difficulty. In fact, the more successful they became, the more they attributed their success to the lessons learned during their most difficult times. Adversity is our teacher. When we view adversity as a guide towards greater inner growth, we will then learn to accept the wisdom our soul came into this life to learn."
-- Barbara Rose

"No matter what difficulty you are facing, it is coming from Divine Light to bring you to a higher place within. Write down every conceivable reason that this situation can contribute towards your growth. Write down every way this experience can possibly set the stage for serving to uplift others. When you are complete, and have come to the other side of this experience, you will then know 'why' it happened."
-- Barbara Rose

"The period of greatest gain in knowledge and experience is the most difficult period in ones life."
-- Dalai Lama

Gary Zukav and Linda Francis

[MajestyJo]

A newhuman species is being born that looks at the external world of things, interactions, and experiences as a mirror that reflects an internal world of intentions, emotions, and thoughts.

Authentic power is the alignment of your personality with your soul. It is being fully engaged in the present moment. You cannot align your personality with your soul withoout becoming conscious of your emotions.

The creation of authentic power confronts you wit the unhealthies part of yourself--the part that blame, criticise, judge, resent, envy, and hate others, yourself, and the Universe. These are the parts that must be acknowledged in order to change them.

An authntically empowered personality is so powerful that the idea of showing power through force is not even part of his or her consciousness.

We are continually processing energy that flows through us. We experience those processes as emotions.

Energy continually flows into the top of your head, moves downwaard through your torso, and the returns to where it came from. The energy that flows through you is always pure and wholesome.

You cannot grow spiritually without learning ho to detach from your emotions and understand them as products of the way energy is processed in you own unique energy processing system.

Each emotion is a signal from your soul. When you ignore or repress emotions, you lose important information.

Gary Zukav and Linda Francis

[MajestyJo]

Your emotions are your best friends because they do not leave you. They bring to your attention what you need to know.

Your emotional landscape is as unique as your body, your aptitudes, and your interests.

Emotions are classes in the Earth school. Some classes are about fear, and some are about love. The Universe is your tutor, and your classroom is your life. The main course in the Earth school, Authentic Power, is the same for everyone, but different students need different courses in orfder to complete it.

You cannot change all of the people that make you angry, sad, or jealous, but you can change yourself. You begin that process by looking inward.

No matter where or how energy leaves your system, it produces an emotion.

Energy leaves you in fear and doubt, or in love and trust.

Painful emotions are flags that call your attention to what you need to change in yourself.

Every emotoin is a physical experience. Recognizing how and where energyy leaves your energy processing system is the foundation of spiritual growth.

When energy leaqves the processing location in your chest in love and trust, you are open and connected to all Life. When energy leaves it in fear and doubt, your chest hurts. "Heartache" is more than an emotional state --it is a physical condition.

Emotional pain of any kind is a reminder to stop and look inside.

Physical pain in the vicinity of your solar plexus is produced by fears that you cannot provide for yourself, defend yourself, or do what you need to do. When energy leaves the processing center near the solor plexus in fear and doubt, you feel it "in the pit of your stomach.

Painful sensations in your chest are produced when you fear that you cannot love or be loved.

When you fear you cannot express yourself, or that you will not be heard if you do, you feel a constriction in your throat, or you have a hoarse or weak voice, or your neck or shoulders become tight.

The energy center at the base of the torso connects you with the Earth. When energy leaves this center in love and trust, yhou feel at homme on the Earth.

As you come to understand your energy processing system and how it works, you can understand your emotions, even those that are difficult to deal with.

Think of your emotions aspresents, waiting to be unwrapped. Unwrapping is an important part of your spiritual journey.

Energy leaving your energy processing system in fear and doubt causes painful sensations.

Feeling your emotions is a physical experience.

Spiritual grown requires you to become aware of everything you are feeling, all the time.

Medical treatment is emergency care for the symptoms that have developed over a long period of time. The symptoms in the flower on the planty. Treating the symptom is picking the flower, while the plant remains untouched.

Emotional awareness is preventative medicine, because physiical dysfunction results when you release energy in fear and doubt for years.

Releasing energy in love and trust produces health and vitality.

Meditations for Emotional Awareness by Gary Zukav and Linda Francis

[MajestyJo]

We are all souls temporarily utilizing our bodies, which are our vehicles for the journey. The engine of the vehicle is the energy pprocessing system. Emotions are the instruments that tell us how the engine is functioning.

Scannng your energy processing system at each location, moment to moment, is emotional awareness. Ignoring that information will eventually cause your vehicle to break down. No illness is sudden.

The more distressing the emotion, the more painful are the sensations in your body, and the more compulsive are your thoughts.

If you think you are a person who feels nothing, or very little, think again. Everyone feels physical pain. If pain is continually present, it begins to feel normal.

(How true that statement is!)

It took me a long time to get in touch with my emotions, to recognize them for what they were, and where they came from; because from the age of 3 years old, I started shutting down when I saw my brother killed.

[MajestyJo]

The difference between not feeling pain and believing that you do not feel pain is the difference between being able to enjoy yourself, create freely, and live without fear, or not.

People who think they feel nothing are especially bound by the fears they think they don't have.

If you feel nothing, know wthat painful sensatiions are there whether you feel them or not. Keep looking. If you don't make this effort, the sensations will eventually break down the barriers you've constructed.

You cannot create a life of fulfillment, joy, and meaning while you are barricading yourself from others and from the opportunities Life offers you.

Walking through your emotional landscape without paying attention to what's there is like walking through a meadow without paying attention to what's growing.

Before you become aware of your emotional landscape, all you can see are the intense emotions that grip your attention now and then.

The more familiar you become with your emotions, the more easily you will be able to see how they remain the same, even though the circumstances in which they appear change. The circumstances that trigger your anger, for example, may change, but your anger does not.

Energy leaves your energy processing system in ways that are specific to you. As you practice putting your sensations and thoughts together, you will recognize repeating combinations, enabling you to connect the dots and plot the map of your emotional landscape.

August 1

You are always in the present moment. If you are not aware of this, you have no power because you are under the control of external circumstances.

August 2

When you are aware ofr the present moment, you have access to all possibilities than the present moment offers.

August 3

It is not possible to become aware of the present moment by examining, studying, or thinking about extended circumstations. The more you become absorbed in these activities, the less aware of the present moment you are.

August 4

Your inner landscape is the anchor of your experience. It is richer than your outer landscape, no matter how magnificent the sunrise, how awesome the night sky, or how immense the turbulent ocean that is rushing toward you,

Always good to look at again. They say stay in today and some would say this is an old post, but to my way of thinking, if it is brought to your attention in today, it is applicable and there is something there that you need to address. If you can't get a message from it, perhaps it is something you need to pass onto someone else.

Words like these never grow old. It is about me remembering them and applying them to my life to make for a better today.

If you want to be strong, be patient, thoughtful and understanding. Anyone can be rude, but it takes real strength to be kind and polite.
If you want to be strong, be persistent. Enduring strength does not come in an instant, but is steadily built over time.

If you want to be strong, get in the habit of taking action. The strongest people are those who act while others only talk or wish.

If you want to be strong, be humble. Put your focus on doing, rather than worrying about getting credit.

If you want to be strong, be joyful. When you enjoy what you're doing, you are far more effective.

If you want to be strong, be yourself. The real strength you have is in the authentic person you are.

Anyone can feel more at peace and more energized through the process of forgiveness. This process reminds me of throwing off weights when riding in a hot air balloon so you can go higher up. Old anger, fear, and resentment are dead weights that slow us and drain our vitality. When you forgive the world—including yourself—you become lighter and much less fearful.

To quote Zig Ziglar, "People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily."

Love the quote. Remember after coming into recovery, regretting that it took me so long to get there. They say if you don't feel remorse the next morning, perhaps you are not an alcoholic.

“Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it’s only good for wallowing in.” Katherine Mansfield

“Hope” is the thing with feathers by Emily Dickinson

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

The Pledge

A pledge we make, no wine to take,
Nor brandy red that turns the head,
Nor fiery rum that ruins the home,
Nor whiskey hot that makes the sot,
Nor brewer's beer, for that we fear;
And cider too, will never do--
To quench our thirst we'll always bring
Cold water from the well or spring;
So her we pledge perpetual hate
To all that can intoxicate.

written by Frances E. Willard

A wise woman once said . . . There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right; pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life; getting back up is living. ~ Author Unknown
