Swine Flu: Trust Your Body and Consciously Refocus

Good Morning Everyone!

I'd like to give you an New View on the latest fearful topic: swine flu.

Let's talk about life and all the subjects in life like a buffet. The biggest buffet table in the world. It has every subject on it possible. Everything gets to be here.

As you scan the buffet table for things to "eat", your eyes notice many things you don't like: liver, brocoli, lima beans, tapioca, fill in here what you don't like.
Now, do you stand there dwelling on that spinach and how much you hate it? Of course not. Your eyes notice it, and they keep moving until they find something that looks delicious and appealing, right?

Same thing with all the subjects in the world. Just because the news puts it in front of you, doesn't mean you have to internalize it. Doesn't even mean you have to believe it. You can note it; thanks for sharing, and keep moving your focus to something that pleases you. You have the free will to do that.

So technique number one is to refocus yourself onto a subject that gives you pleasure and joy - makes you feel Good. What might that be? Well, what makes you happy? Playing with your dog, or noticing what's growing outside, or an idea you're working on, or music, or dance, or....come on, you can do it. Find your bliss.

Technique number two is remembering how strong and resilient your body already is. Think back on how many cuts, scrapes, bruises, breaks, flu, colds, and other dis-eases you have already recovered from, because your body is connected to Infinite Intelligence and knows that its default position is Well. Prove it to yourself, restore your own faith in your own body.

Technique number three is to support your body in its wellness. Wash your hands. While you are washing your hands, play. Have fun with it. Take a three minute mini-spa break for this. Smell the lovely soap, enjoy the warmth of the water, spend that time mentally (internally) feeling and enjoying the deliciousness of these few moments of pleasure and a break from whatever it was you were doing. Take these moments to envision a new adventure, a new joy, something lovely.

Technique number four is to enjoy and appreciate the lovely, nourishing foods that you have to eat that supply the nutrition that your body uses to create a strong immune system. Notice and appreciate the colors, textures and taste of these miraculous foods, and appreciate that your body knows exactly what to do with these nutrients for a strong and healthy body.

Technique number five is to consider other epidemics and that more people stayed well than did not. Focus on that. The Wellness.

Technique number six is to constantly refocus yourself back into alignment with Well Being. When you notice your thoughts drifting off into fear, worry and doubt - put that puppy back on the paper of Well Being, deliberately and consciously. Take responsibility for where you are focusing your Life Force, and consciously change your own channel.

The Law of Attraction says that what you focus on will get bigger and bigger until it finally manifests into your reality. Pay attention to what you are focusing on, and find the Good Stuff and stay there.

There is so much more Well Being than not; find it and appreciate all that Good. Much like you'd find that chocolate cake on the buffet table and participate in enjoying that.

Thanks for reading!

Cleaning Up Your Vibrational Signature - Part 3: Changing Your Focus

Good Morning Everyone,

Turn OFF your televisions!

I repeat, turn off your televisions. If need be, for awhile, eliminate news radio, gossips, your old friends, and whomever or whatever is the old channel that you have been listening to that is a steady diet of negative and toxic vibrations. Listening and seeing toxic vibrations is just the same as eating chemical toxins. They are poison. They take you places you do not want to go.

When you entertain them, this is your point of focus in the now moment; and this is what you are busy creating more of.

In this third part of Changing Your Vibrational Signature, we are going to focus on changing your point of focus. It is important that you "get it" that doing or having the same vibrational signature (internal attitude), is always going to get you more of the same of what you are experiencing right now.

Are you sick of lack of money, ill health, disease, war, what? Then you must turn your focus away from what is and refocus yourself towards what is wanted.

This is why bad things happen to good people.

Each of us is responsible for our own internal attitude, countenance, vibrational offering. As you watch a television commercial for diabetes, what are you focusing your Source Energy on? Sickness! When you passively sit with talk radio on and listen to a steady stream of negative thoughts, criticisms, what's bad, what's wrong, who's to blame, ask yourself where are you focusing your Source Energy? Guess what you are going to experience in your life?

How to shift that focus:

1. Increase your awareness of how it feels to you.

You sit in the break room at work and listen to the same people saying the same things day after day: how disrespectful their children are, their husband is drinking, their mother is sick, doctor visits, diagnoses, treatments, a litany of stuff that cannot possibly feel good to you. Yet, you sit there and take it in. Why? Is it because you think it is impolite to leave? Who cares? This is your life! What you take in,you are focused on. What you are focused on is what you will get more of and what you contribute to the world.

What can you do?

Excuse yourself. Go outside and take a walk around the block with the intention of breathing fresh air, seeing something lovely, enjoying the feel of your body as it loves to move, breathe, see and hear and feel....Now notice how you feel inside. Better, of course. You feel more ease even Good.

2. Change Your Focus Deliberately.

So your wife is ranting and raving at you. Your boss is saying snide remarks. What can you do? Excuse yourself. You do not have to be there. You don't need to make a grand exit, having the last word, getting your dig in. Rather, you can say, "Excuse me, I just remembered, I need to..."

You are sovereign in your life. You get to say where you are, what you are present for, what you will listen to, and when and where you will place your focus. When you do excuse yourself from any situation, deliberately refocus on something that is lovely, good, uplifting, positive. Have a plan. Have some subjects at the ready that you can turn to, already prepared, that will help you shift your internal state. Like what? Well, the smile of child, the day at the beach, the taste of those fresh peaches last summer, the night sky, a lovely poem, or an inspirational quote.

So, your assignment this week? Change the channel and focus on what feels Good. Next installment: the art of focusing on what is wanted.

This is applied spirituality. This is being the conscious and deliberate Creator that you Are.

Cleaning Up Your Vibrational Signature - Part 1

Good Morning Everyone!

A cold, but Sunny! morning in Ohio. Yikes, we are all in a deep freeze right now. Knowing that everything is for the Good, I wonder the Good and Perfection that Nature has in mind with such a cold time. Is it killing bad bugs? Realigning new cold set points for fruit trees with a wonderful harvest to follow? Or strongly encouraging us to S.T.O.P.?

Last evening I went out with some new friends to a meeting. When we were driving home around midnight, everything was literally frozen in its tracks. Water dripping earlier in warming sunshine had frozen mid stream. Full S.T.O.P.


But even at midnight there was a significant number of cars on the road. We never S.T.O.P. When I got home, I offered the open door to my cat, Woody. "Want to go outside?" He looked at me as if I'd lost my mind, then changed his and tentatively stepped out. He took a few sniffs, shook his feet and hightailed it right back in. I tend to look at the beasts to see what a natural movement would look like without a human mind to interfere with common sense. Except for meals and potty breaks, even Woody the cat is hibernating, laying low, stopping.

But our relentless human mind will not let us be still. It pokes and prods with its incessant messages of lack and fear: better get out there, you're missing something; better go and try to make some money; better go, go, go and do, do, do.

We are beings. Being is ising. We vibrate, we are. This is the composite of Who We Really Are.
We are either ising contentment, joy, creativity, with our unique signature of areness - or we are ising our uniqueness in lack and fear driven by the dictates of our human mind that tells us there is simply not enough. So, where are you this morning?

What are you focusing on this morning? Is the task to which you are applying your focus (your Spirit) something that delights, invigorates and enlivens you? Or are you doing this thing because you mind told you that you should, or ought, or better had?

Nothing comes from nothing. Good begets Good. This is law.

The awareness of why you are doing whatever it is you are up to is paramount now. We are being raised into Light and Life; the results are going to come faster and faster. With your mind you are the focuser of where you are going, laser sharp and lightening fast.

If you are coming from a place of lack, it will get bigger. If you are motivated from a place of fear, that fear will magnify. There is no more time for "I'll get to it later".

Taking care of and cleaning up your vibration is today's work! Right now.

Like putting your clothes away as you use them, taking care of your vibration as you are aware of negative emotion in each moment, over time and without a whole lot of angst, you raise it bit by bit, day by day and soon you are experiencing a whole new life with a whole different set of choices available than those from where you began.

It's the New Year. If you made only one resolution and followed it through this year, cleaning up your personal vibrational signature would be the ONE.

Your assignment is to simply become aware of how you are feeling. Notice. Pay attention. Keep a journal or a log of how you are feeling and why you are doing whatever it is you are up to. What are you talking about and why are you saying it? For these are the things you are giving attention to and therefore, matter. They will become manifest more quickly. Notice, for now.

In the following posts I'll be giving you some very real and practical tools to use to deliberately change your personal vibrational content.

This is will be Your Good Year if you consciously and deliberately apply your Spirit.

Thanks for reading!

Expansion: There's Always More

Hello Everyone,

In a time where the appearance is that everything seems to be contracting and shrinking, crumbling and failing, we can look to Nature to see the True Way of all things, including humans.

Yesterday on Yahoo News there was an article that showcases a discovery of over 1000 NEW SPECIES on the planet.

"It doesn't get any better than this," Stuart Chapman, director of WWF's Greater Mekong Programme, was quoted as saying in a statement by the group. "We thought discoveries of this scale were confined to the history books."

This illuminates for us two things: there's always more and our good is always at play, even though it may appear to the contrary.

The Universe and the World that we live in are limitless, contrary to popular human belief, which is the point. Our outdated and antiquated human beliefs out of limited human thinking are being challenged to change, expand and grow into the divine and limitless beings that we are.

I have often noticed how Truth is learned in the paradox and irony of life. Here we look at a crashing economy and numerous other "negative" news, but up pops an article that is to remind us to LET GO old thinking and allow the expansion into Infinite Possibilities.

Certainly this is not the time to constrict and contract, thinking safety and security first. It is the exact time to expand and grow.

Recently I took a trip to Ohio in preparation for moving there at the first of the year. In some ways it is "going home" but not exactly to the places where I grew up. I visited a small rural town called Rittman. Rumor has it that my great grandparents lived for a time in Rittman, as great grandfather worked for the railroad. Rittman today is home to Morton Salt and other smaller businesses, but definitely reflects an impoverished community limited by the thinking that pervades the town. One gets a sense of enduring something until they don't have to endure it any longer. What I saw was an empty paper box factory sitting right on the RR tracks ready to go...for a new paper box factory that now uses recycled paper and has gone green. Who else can see the possibilities for expansion and new opportunities? I made the suggestion to the realtor who was so gracious as to spend an hour with me showing me around her town.

On the plane flight from San Diego to Chicago my seat mate was relaying the story of a friend of his in Indiana who had been laid off from a car manufacturing plant, yet still receiving 90% of his salary. "Wow," I said. "What an opportunity. What is he doing with this once in a million chance?" My new friend shook his head, "Nothing. He's waiting to be called back to work."

I nearly drooled. To be supported at 90% of your former salary and have 40 hours a week freed up to do what I wanted to do would be heaven. This fellow could, if he had the consciousness to see, retool for a new career, study something he loved and find a brand new life waiting for him.

My grandmother used to say in every cloud there is a silver lining or it's always darkest just before dawn. Those two sayings identify the consciousness of "there's always more" and "our good is always at play". This is faith. This is Truth. This is the Infinite and Eternally Expanding Nature of Reality of which we are all part and parcel. You nor I have been excluded from all the Goodies; we can, however, exclude ourselves by clinging to the old limiting beliefs, dwelling and focusing on the negative, rather than shifting our focus internally and externally with the intention to see the Good, the Fullness, the Opportunities that lay at our feet.

In these times and the times ahead expect to see more things falling apart, in order to see the new opportunities open up. Will you have the eyes to see and the ears to hear and the consciousness to embrace the new?

It is all up to you. You have free will choice to focus where you choose.

Becoming A Selective Sifter of Information

Good Day Everyone,

Today is part 2 in becoming the master of your own reality. Today we're going to talk about becoming a selective sifter of all the information that comes your way.

How do you know what to pay attention to and what to let fall through the sifter. Good question and very good to master.

First of all, the most important thing is to be tuned in to your internal guidance system. This is otherwise experienced by you as your gut. When you are taking in information from any source, friend, family, CNN, the newspaper, your IGS will be monitoring it for its relevance to you. Specifically, it will be monitoring your focus for things that are for your GOOD. That is its job. It is constantly telling you by how you feel if what you are focused on is on the path for your GOOD.

This is because your IGS is your Godchip and is always in Well Being and living out the results of your desires - It is actually enjoying your dreams already. So there's your IGS skipity doo dahing in your dreams and fantasies, having a really GOOD time.

Now, let's say say your fantasy dream is that you want to be wealthy, prosperous, and financial stable. Your IGS is already experiencing the FEELING of that success, your very dream come true. You, however, are glued to the financial news on CNN watching the Dow plummet, you're reading everything you can about the banks failures and who's to blame. You FEEL your stomach turn sour, your neck is tight, a migraine is coming on. Those FEELINGS are your IGS NOT joining you in those thoughts. In other words, you are feeling the pain of that gap between your human mind focus/thoughts and your Godchip, which is in complete and utter fulfillment of your desire. That gap, the absence of GOOD (your Godchip), does not feel good to you.

Now, let's say you have that same desire for wealth, prosperity, and financial stability. You now focus yourself on stories of people that have achieved financial prosperity, their methods and strategies, or you simply imagine how wonderful it would feel to be there. The longer your focus is on the success of what you are desiring, the better you feel. New ideas join these thoughts, as you feel that success more and more. That you feel GOOD is telling you that you are closing that gap between your human mind and your Godchip who is living that success and its fulfillment.

Ok. Now it's every day life, you're going about your day and you have the radio on. The news comes on and it's about some doom story. What do you do? You change the channel. You find something that feels GOOD to you. Try on some up beat music and sing along or find a talk show that FEELS good to you, or better still, turn it off and CHOOSE some thought that raise your vibration.

Now let's say you've paid for a seminar and the lecturer goes off on a tangent describing to you all manner of traumatic failures, because these people just didn't follow his advice. What do you do? You have several choices: 1.) you can go to the bathroom and come back when he starts talking about positive stuff; 2.) you can tune out, write a letter to your sweetheart and tune back in when he gets to the GOOD stuff; 3.) you can listen and simultaneously edit saying things to yourself like, "This is only true for someone who places his authority in you, buddy, not me. I know about the Law of Attraction and I know that I control my vibration."

In absolutely everything in every minute of your day you have to be aware of how you are feeling. If someone in the break room is talking about how miserable he/she is or how sick someone is, or whatever misery is being hashed out, you get to LEAVE. You have the freedom, the right and the responsibility to change your mind and not be available for vibrations that do not FEEL GOOD to you.

It is very simple: garbage in yields garbage out. You don't have to voice anything to anybody; that is not your job. Your job is your vibration and your control is over your focus. Have some standard comments ready such as, "You know what, I just remembered, I have to make a call. If you'll excuse me." Or "I'll be back...." The point is you have made a choice FOR yourself, not against them, so you have no judgment about what they are talking about, all you know is, it's not for you.

My personal favorite, "Gotta Go!"

These are dramatic times that offer the perfect opportunity to become a very selective sifter of the data that comes in to you. These times are perfect for becoming the master of your focus and teaching yourself that you are, indeed, in complete control of how you FEEL. Master this, and you've pretty much mastered your life.

Next week we'll talk about what to focus on.

Remember, apply, apply, apply. It doesn't work if you don't use it.

Thanks for reading!

8 Steps to Changing Your Focus

Good Morning Everyone,

We're going to work on deliberate focus today and perhaps for a few weeks to come.

I know, the news is really competing for your focus and attention, big time. You almost can't avoid it, unless you put yourself into a cave. But we're not advocating that. What we're going to be doing over the next few weeks is showing you how to be the one to choose your own focus and therefore your own vibration and how to be a selective sifter of the information that you are viewing. We're NOT going to let the time and tides dictate your vibration. You get to choose.

This is going to take application and practice on your part for it to be effective in your life. The point of this, is to feel good, keep feeling good and optimistic, and to keep moving forward in the goals and projects you have in process and or to help you choose your new direction and focus and stay consistently and deliberately focused on what you choose.

So let's get started.

Let's begin with the headlines of any news media. Today for example, on Yahoo, it is all about the
Dow. And they give you just enough information to set your teeth on edge. Thanks, right?

Ok. What can you do with that information? Here's what I recommend:

1. You can simply bless the information. A sort of "thanks for sharing" type of thing. This is not getting yourself involved in it or reading any further; yet it probably still rankles and causes you some level of concern. You feel some dis-ease. What we want to do is change that dis-ease, into something that feels better to you right then and there.

2. So you feel that knot in your stomach and acknowledge it as fear. You might say to yourself, "This is scary." "I'm worried." or anything similar. What is important is to truly feel that feeling and acknowledge it. "Yep, I'm scared about this economic thing. I'm worried about what this could mean for my family, my job, etc." Be specific. Be clear. Be Truthful with yourself.

3. Now. Breathe deeply. Do it again. Breathe deeply. Again, if you need to to calm, even a tad.

4. Now you're going to reach for some better feeling thoughts about this. You might say things like, "In the past, things have gone up and down, and they always work out." or "There are lots of ways for money to come to me, my job is only one way, out of an infinite number of ways."
or "Isn't this interesting. I'm wondering if now just might be the time for me to follow that hunch I had the other day with respect to..." or "I know that my good is at play." You keep reaching for thoughts that ease that knot in your stomach. When you find it, and you can viscerally and literally feel the ease and relief, you've just changed your vibration on that subject.

5. Now you stabilize yourself there. Breathe in deeply. Relax into the new, better feeling place.

6. Now count your blessings. Let's tally up all the "haves" in your life. And I mean ALL of your "haves". You have your health, you have access to Internet, you have .....and keep on going. Do this every single day without repeating anything twice.

7. Now feeling better, choose deliberately to turn your focus of attention - your nuclear Source Energy - to what feels correct and right and fun for you to proceed with today, and give it your Full Focus. Is it your new book? Is it a new customer? You know where your good is, so follow it. Don't be tempted to look at the ick. It has nothing to do with you, unless you make it so.

8. Don't look back. Remember the story of Lot's wife who was turned into a pillar of salt when she looked back? Well, don't do it. Keep looking forward and upward. Keep working on that thought until it has become really positive and you have no fear about the subject of this economic turmoil.

These are the times when we are challenged to NOT look at all the icky stuff, but rather keep our eyes focused on what we desire to create, not what is. This is applied spirituality in action.

Next blog...being a selective sifter.

Thanks for reading!
