My Mind

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

I’m swallowed up in my thoughts and I fight to release the thinking and yet it’s familiar and real.

Letting go – ah can I and will I feel freer?

So how will I know if I do not allow my feelings to rise while I let my mind wonder off to quietness? I’ve learned that I can see, feel and hear more with less.

Do I dare, dare to try this to achieve another level, another step further than I have already traveled?

I feel the nervousness and yet I must – I know it’s so for my own journey to continue on it‘s path.

Momentum

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

“I would like to take a second to recognize and commend

all those who muster the courage to step out of their comfort zone

and decide to push themselves toward creating a better life.

Emotion creates motion which generates momentum…

and this is what allows you to create the life you want to live.”

by J. Cordell

Peace

Did you suffer greatly sometimes?

 … that was a time for learning.

 

Did you cry a lot?

 … you were cleansing the soul.

 

Did you feel spiteful?

… it was a lesson on forgiveness.

 

Did you feel lonely? Look around you and you will see

people waiting for your smile, just to get closer to you.

 

At times, were you alone?

… it was because you closed the door.

 

If we think small; the small will come.

If we think firmly on the best, on the

 positive and we strive for it; the

best will come in our lives.

 

Were there times you believed everything was lost?

… it was simply the beginning of your improvement.

 

It is not important the time of life when you tired.

Important is that it is always possible and necessary to

restart. Re-birthing is a new opportunity; it is

renewing the hopes in life; and more importantly, it is

believing in oneself.

 

Life calls you; it invites you to a new

adventure, a new journey, a new

challenge. This day, promise yourself:

That you will do anything possible to

achieve your objectives; trust in life,

trust in yourself.

 

Today is the great mental cleaning day.

Throw away all the binds you to the

past; all that hurts you. Discard

everything into garbage; clean your

heart; prepare it for a new life, and for

new love; for we are passionate. We are

capable of loving many times, because

we are the manifestation of love.

 

A Child’s Intention!

Monday, December 14th, 2009
This story is short but powerful. I believe this all boils down to intention and what we want to create. A child and her God-Mother are on an outing with the end in mind. Their agenda was to see Miracle the White Buffalo and to spend the day together.

“Hi Dawn-when Miracle the white buffalo was born, I took my Native American god-child to see the white buffalo-it was also my birthday-so we drove down to Janesville only to find that they were not allowing viewing that weekend-disappointed we started to get into the car when this elderly man appeared and fell in love with my god-child, next thing we know we are being given a private showing!!- Pretty cool huh?-Deb”

Pretty Cool – heck that was phenomenal; how many people got a private showing of Miracle. Yes, I believe it was a miracle a miracle of powerful deliberate intention with the action to back it up.

How many times in your life has something similar happen to you out of the blue to manifest what you had already planned?

Reflect back and think of a time.

Then think of how you placed your own faith in allowing everything to flow into shape. It may not of happened exactly how you thought it might or should of happened but you still got your end result.

Now reflect on how it felt and what you thought, did and said that allow you to deliberately attract your outcome through an adverse situation.

 

What Does It Mean To You?

Blaise Pascal once wrote that there is “a God sized hole in every human spirit, and nothing else can quite fill it.: It is the jumping off point for many a spiritual expedition.
 
Truly the hole within is the one we as individuals allow our brains to fool ourselves into thinking that God is not within but out there somewhere. (if I understand the quote, yet right or wrong doesn’t matter what matters is what my perception is at this point in my life, for tomorrow I may see or understand it differently.)
 
 
What does the quote mean to you?
 

“Perception” and “What Are You Missing Daily?” …something to think about

Washington,  D.C.  

Metro Station on a cold January morning . 

The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes.. During that time approx two thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. 

After three minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule. 

4 minutes later: 
The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk. 
 
6 minutes: 
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again. 

10 minutes: 
A three-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. 

This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.

45 minutes: 
The musician played continuously. Only six people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace… The man collected a total of $32.

1 hour: 
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin valued at $3.5 million dollars. 

Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theatre in Boston where the seats averaged $100 

This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities… 

The questions raised: in a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?

One conclusion reached from this experiment could be this: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made… How many other things are we missing? 

Did anyone notice who did pay attention, who were appreciating the music and wanted to stay?

 

“Slightest Improvement”

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

“My Slightest Improvement Is of Such Great Value”

There is tremendous value when you are able to deliberately cause even the slightest improvement in the way you feel, for even in that small emotional improvement, you may have regained a measure of control.  You no longer feel powerless.  And so, your trek back up the Emotional Scale is now not only possible, but it is relatively easy. 

from Esthr and Jerry Hicks teachings of Abraham

 

Read again replacing you with I:

There is tremendous value when I am able to deliberately cause even the slightest improvement in the way I feel, for even in that small emotional improvement, I may have regained a measure of control. I no longer feel powerless. And so, my trek back up the Emotional Scale is now not only possible, but it is relatively easy.

Read the second version a couple of times and really think about what is coming up for you that did not show up reading the first version.

 

 

Create Your Future!

Monday, October 26th, 2009

“The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created–created first in the mind and will, create next in activity…. The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and the destination.”

- John Schaar, futurist

Are Your Attached or Addicted?

Thursday, October 8th, 2009
 
Quoted from NDW. “you must be willing to lose it all before you can have it all. Detachment is the key. If you are so attached to something (someone) that you are DEEPLY unhappy without it, then you are not just attached, but you are addicted.”
 
I read this comment from a friend on facebook which hit home for me and is a great reminder about detachment and how I find myself totally attached to things or someone in my life. Not a good thing. I wonder am I unhappy without the person or thing. Not really. So why is it so easy to stay attached rather than detach from whatever it is in my life that’s not currently working.
 
This attachment to how I think things should happen or how I think things should come to me or being fully attached to what I want just doesn’t work, so why do I keep doing it? Because I have noticed that as soon as I do become unattached to the outcome and the how to receiving what I want I am surprisingly in receipt of that thing. This is happening more and more lately because I am learning to let go and really let go with some things. It seams other attachments are harder to let go and allow. Why?
 
My intellectual self knows better yet my actions play the old familiar game, like the old shoe or frazzled pair of pants that I can’t get rid of. It’s comfortable to do the same things yet so uncomfortable to continue without moving forward. Once I got a taste of manifesting what I want by allowing I search to do it again and again thought I already know how because I’ve done it.
 
Far too much thinking just be, just allow. Yes just be and just allow. Place the vision in my minds eye and know exactly what I want and feel every emotion that goes with achieving what I want and yes allow it by letting it go. And it will come to me. Thank You.
 
Now, ask yourself are you deeply unhappy and addicted or are you just attached and willing to let go and allow what it is that you want?

“Strength, Courage and Confidence”

Saturday, August 29th, 2009
.
 ”You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face… The danger lies in refusing to face the fear, in not daring to come to grips with it… You must make yourself succeed every time. You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”   Eleanor Roosevelt.
