How to Realize Abundant Prosperity: The 40 Day Prosperity Plan

Written by John Randolph Price

ere is a program for realizing abundant prosperity in your life and affairs. According to the mystical Christian principles, on which this program is based, it takes 40 days for consciousness to realize a truth.

A break in practice during the 40 day period will release the energy being built up around the new ideas. Therefore, there must be a definite commitment to faithfully follow this program each and every day for 40 days.

If you miss even one day, start over again and continue until you can go the full period with perfect continuity. Here is the course of action:

• Establish a specific date to start your program, such as the beginning of a particular week. Count out 40 days on your calendar and mark the completion date.
• On the first day of the program write the statement shown below in your spiritual journal:

This day, (show actual date), I cease believing in visible money as my supply and my support, and I view my current world of effect as it truly is… simply an outpicturing of my former beliefs. I believed in the power of money, therefore I surrendered my God-given power and authority to an objectified belief. I believed in the possibility of lack, thus causing a separation in consciousness from the Source of my supply. I believed in mortal man and carnal conditions, and through this faith gave man and conditions power over me. I believed in the mortal illusion created by the collective consciousness of error thoughts, and in doing so, I have limited the Unlimited. No more! This day I renounce my so-called humanhood and claim my divine inheritance as a Being of God. This day I acknowledge God as my supply and my support.

One Statement Each Day Will Keep Lack & Poverty Away

There are ten statements of principles below. Read one statement each day. This means that you will go through the entire list four times during the 40-day period.

After reading the daily statement upon arising or before going to bed in the evening, meditate on it for at least 15 minutes, focusing on each idea in the statement with great thoughtfulness and feeling, letting the ideas fill your consciousness. Following each meditation period, write down in your journal the thoughts that come to you. Be sure to do this daily.

Since you have already received an all sufficiency of supply (all that Infinite Mind has is yours now), you can prove this Truth to your deeper mind by sharing your supply on a regular basis while you are working with the Plan. Giving is an esoteric science that never fails to produce results if it is done with love and joy, because the Law will shower you with a multiplied return. But if you tithe (and I really prefer the word “sharing” to tithing) as a mechanical and calculated method to please God, unload guilt, meet a sense of obligation, and play a bartering game with the Law, no one benefits, not even the receiver. Give with love, joy, and a sense of fun, and the windows of heaven will be thrown open with a blast!

The Statements of Principle:

1. God is lavish, unfailing Abundance, the rich omnipresent substance of the Universe. This all providing Source of infinite prosperity is individualized as me the Reality of me.

2. I lift up my mind and heart to be aware, to understand, and to know that the Divine Presence I AM is the Source and Substance of all my good.

3. I am conscious of the Inner Presence as my lavish Abundance. I am conscious of the constant activity of this Mind of infinite Prosperity. Therefore, my consciousness is filled with the Light of Truth.

4. Through my consciousness of my God-Self, the Christ within, as my Source, I draw into my mind and feeling nature the very substance of Spirit. This substance is my supply, thus my consciousness of the Presence of God within me is my supply.

5. Money is not my supply. No person, place or condition is my supply. My awareness, understanding, and knowledge of the all-providing activity of the Divine Mind within me is my supply. My consciousness of this Truth is unlimited, therefore, my supply is unlimited.

6. My inner supply instantly and constantly takes on form and experience according to my needs and desires, and as the Principle of Supply in action, it is impossible for me to have any unfulfilled needs or desires.

7. The Divine Consciousness that I am is forever expressing its true nature of Abundance. This is its responsibility, not mine. My only responsibility is to be aware of this Truth. Therefore, I am totally confident in letting go and letting God appear as the abundant all sufficiency in my life and affairs.

8. My consciousness of the Spirit within me as my unlimited Source is the Divine Power to restore the years the locusts have eaten, to make all things new, to lift me up to the High Road of abundant prosperity. This awareness, understanding and knowledge of Spirit appears as every visible form and experience that I could possibly desire.

9. When I am aware of the God Self within me as my total fulfillment, I am totally fulfilled. I am now aware of this Truth. I have found the secret of life, and I relax in the knowledge that the Activity of Divine Abundance is eternally operating in my life. I simply have to be aware of the flow, the radiation, of that Creative Energy, which is continuously, easily and effortlessly pouring forth from my Divine Consciousness. I am now aware. I am now in the flow

10. I keep my mind and thoughts off “this world” and I place my entire focus on God within as the only Cause of my prosperity. I acknowledge the Inner Presence as the only activity in my financial affairs, as the substance of all things visible. I place my faith in the Principle of Abundance in action within me.

Being Grateful for Where You Are

BEAUTIFUL! This week’s message from Shanta Gabriel…

Being Grateful for Where You Are We are drawing on the compassionate and timeless wisdom of The Gabriel Messages to provide insight and inspiration that we can apply every day of our lives. For this week’s issue, the message from Archangel Gabriel suggests a new way at integrating situations in your life. The Gabriel Message card for this week All that you have learned and all that has happened to you brought you to where you are now. Be grateful. In an interesting demonstration of Angelic intervention, this card was chosen after my asking for the perfect message for all concerned and also one that I had not done before. After I received this card, I remembered that two people I respect had given me the same compliment about my work the day before. I had forgotten they even said it. This did not allow me to fully receive their compliments into my consciousness so I could acknowledge myself for how far I have come. I realized in that moment how important my ability to receive would be in 2016. As much as we were hoping for a jack rabbit start to 2016, it feels like we are somewhat coerced by retrograde planets to review our lives and integrate our past into our present in harmonious ways. The 12 Holy Nights gave us an opportunity to go back through 2015 and gather information, remembering the sometimes vague activities and feelings of a year that was often challenging and tumultuous. Doing this integration before setting the new intentions for 2016 was an interesting process for me. I did have to admit at the end that I learned a tremendous amount and grew as a human blending divinity into manifest form within me during the last year. This year it is my intention to relax and breathe more deeply while I learn to receive from Life. I know that I can expand into this receptivity with the support of the Angelic Dimensions. I look forward to experiencing the new levels of Harmony and Beauty that are available to us all in this new year. Archangel Gabriel is telling me that 2016 is a year rich in Inspiration. I love that idea and have agreed to spend more time receiving from the deep well of guidance that we all have available for us in this precious time. It feels so expansive when I am inspired, as though anything is possible. Inspiration opens my mind and heart. It also raises my vibrational frequencies so I have an expanded perspective on my life and feel much lighter. I can also listen more deeply to my Higher Self, and feel more willing to do that. When I take this sacred time regularly, there is clarity about when to take action in all areas of my life. I feel like I really need the nourishment of Inspiration every day. Without inspiration, my intention for 2016 is to wait before I go into action. This is such a powerful teaching for living in 5D for me. This process brings in a beautiful element of the Sacred Feminine when I wait for guidance to be received before I bring action to life. My Soul’s voice active within my Higher Self communicates through my heart. When I pay attention to this voice, my heart’s intelligence speaks with greater authority, and I am able to hear its wisdom with more clarity. My heart inspires me into action, and I now allow myself the space to receive in order to experience the Divine Timing inherent in this process. Here is my prayer for the New Year: Divine Presence, Thank you for bringing me through this past year with such Grace and Love. Please help me to integrate all that I learned within my being so I can use the lessons to empower my life in 2016. I know that even when I am not actively paying attention, you are working with me, and guiding my way, and I AM Grateful. I willingly commit to listening to my Soul’s voice with greater dedication. I ask my Higher Self to help me pay attention to the guidance that is being offered from Source. Help me to remember that I need to slow down to receive the wisdom within me. I AM now creating space within me to receive in a greater way ~ receiving your guidance, receiving more love, and receiving all the support that is available to me in all areas of my life. I recognize clearly that I AM never alone. Help me to be more aware and perceive the presence of my support system on Earth as it is in Heaven. For my life and all that I have learned, I am grateful and blessed. And so it is. Shanta Gabriel January 10, 2016 www.ShantaGabriel.com

The Gabriel Messages #56 All that you have learned and all that has happened to you brought you to where you are now. Be grateful. Dear One, You have come to a time when acknowledgment of yourself is necessary. There needs to be a truce between the warring factions of your mind. One part of you is diligently watching to make sure that you never make a mistake. When you inevitably do, it leaps to chastise and remind you about all the ways you are wrong. This judgmental mind is never happy with your progress. Nothing you do could ever be good enough. It is relentless in its pursuit of your wrongness. It is time to tell this part of your mind to take a vacation. It needs to lose itself in the beauty of nature, and leave the rest of you alone. You are on this earth plane to learn. Making mistakes is one way that people learn lessons. It is impossible to do things right and perfectly every time. The Divine Presence does not expect this of you. What is necessary is that you follow your heart and your inner guidance. There is much wisdom within you. But it is often like a small voice calling in the wilderness, drowned out by critical and judgmental thoughts. Yet it is listening to this quieter voice that would most serve you in your life. This voice is telling you that you are a child of a loving God, and that there is nothing you can do which could stop the flow of Infinite Love. There is also society’s voice that demands you live up to certain expectations. When you are in alignment with your Higher Self, there is a flow of love-filled energy that allows you to step into a way of being which is totally connected to the Divine Power within and around you. This energy is inviting you to be rather than do. You are being asked to let go of the confining armor of society’s expectations and of your judgmental mind that has been conditioned by it. You are being asked to look with compassion upon yourself, and to notice the many things you are learning at this time. It is a powerful time on Earth when, although there is great suffering and fear, there are also incredible opportunities to break through into great love and peace. Practice: What you see in the world is colored by how you see yourself. Can you see that, in the past, you took the steps that seemed appropriate for you at the time? Do you notice that there were times when your heart told you to make a certain choice, but for various reasons, you did not follow your intuition? All these experiences have assisted you in learning lessons necessary for your growth. It is time to totally forgive yourself for behaving in ways you judge as wrong or bad. You would have made different choices had you known better, but you acted from your awareness at that time. Forgive yourself and get on with your life. Do not waste any more precious time in self-criticism. You are making choices in this moment to create your future. All that you have is this moment. Let the past go, and do not fear the future. Know that you are exactly where you need to be for your perfect lessons in life. It is up to you to lift the mantle of judgment and allow yourself to grow into who you would most like to be. Imagine acting in ways that bring you joy. Imagine your world surrounded in love. Know that you are a good, honest and caring person and give yourself the loving respect you deserve. Your imagination can set a powerful intention for your life when you use it to visualize a new and more harmonious way to be. When you set an intention, all the forces of the universe align themselves to manifest that which you visualize. It is wise to be careful how you use this powerful tool. You do receive whatever you focus on, if your focus and desire are strong enough. It is a Universal Law. Remember to be grateful for your life. It is an incredible gift to be in a physical body. With this body you can do so many things to enjoy this world of beauty. Be grateful for all that you are learning now, even if, at times, it feels uncomfortable. Be grateful for all that you have, even if it does not seem to be enough.  Gratitude awakens your mind to the greater truth within all things, and lifts your spirit into appreciation and joy. So remember your message from Archangel Gabriel today: All that you have learned and all that has happened to you brought you to where you are now. Be grateful.

NEW FREQUENCIES ARE WAITING…

Brenda Hoffman’s message for this week…I LOVE IT!

 

New Frequencies are Waiting Posted: 04 Jan 2016 08:00 AM PST Channeled by Brenda Hoffman for http://www.LifeTapestryCreations.com Summary of Brenda’s January 1, 2016, channeled, 15-minute “Creation Energies” show at  http://www.BlogTalkRadio.com / brenda-hoffman:   Twenty sixteen begins a new phase of your words and actions. Instead of promoting fear, tell others of your joy and miracles large and small. It is time to claim your god/goddess/star role – becoming a beacon of joy for others. Those of you who have not yet created your earth security dream will – for it is meant to be. “Create and Celebrate” is the title of last week’s “Brenda’s Blog” – her weekly, channeled blog forwww.LifeTapestryCreations.com. Brenda’s “Creation Energies” show and “Brenda’s Blog” contain different channeled information. Dear Ones, We wish to address the anguish of those who have not yet created their earth dream. You will – not only because you wish to, but because it is time to move beyond the earth in your skills and interests. So it is that you will create your dream in the near future. This prophecy indicated creation of your earth dream by or near the end of 2015. And so it is and so you will. You have known that you are not alone for we, of other frequencies, are fully able to tune into your frequency whenever we wish. We have done so for eons. Now you are moving to new frequencies you do not necessarily understand or even comprehend. Perhaps you catch a flicker of something or someone out of the corner of your eye. Perhaps your dreams are so vivid it is difficult for you to awaken. So many indicators informing you that you have initiated your exploration of other frequencies. But as was true for those of you born of earth prior to the first computer, this is a learning phase. If you remember, you required computer lessons prior to operating and understanding that new technology. Have you ever attempted to find a radio station/frequency dialing throughout the possibilities. Perhaps you caught a word or musical note here or there. But when you tried to tune in, to find that station, it was not possible. You were too far from the original signal. So it is now for those of you who have yet to create your earth dream. You catch bits and pieces of different frequencies but are not close enough to grasp that frequency. You will – as soon as you create your earth dream. For just as is true with learning a musical instrument, there are stages to progress through before mastering a song. Your obvious question is, “What is stopping me from creating my earth dream?” With that thought, you revert to the 3D concepts of not good enough, intelligent enough, or worth enough. All of which have absolutely nothing to do with your earth dream creation. You are merely deciding to wait a bit until you are fully conscious of who you are. For that which would have provided security six months ago is likely not as important today. Your next question has to be, “When will it be right for me to create that dream? Will I continue shifting my dream for weeks or months or years – never to create my final dream?” Our response is a resounding, “NO!” All that is happening is going to happen within a few days or weeks. There is no other preparation required of you other than to be yourself. Discovering who you truly are and what and who is important to you. Many of you are thinking that your dream has not changed much in the past months. So why are you not creating it? What is WRONG with you? Absolutely nothing. You are in the correct place at the correct time. You are merely deciding when you wish to introduce yourself to your earth creation. Of course, that last statement seems silly, even teasing about something which you are very serious. You have done this and that. You have returned to earth over and over again to prepare earth and earth beings for this time, this transition. So where are your rewards for a job well done? A question you must ask yourself. For your earth creation time started the last few days of December. If you have not yet created your dream, you have a logical and mystical reason for waiting. A reason you will know once you begin your creation. Perhaps it is because you are afraid others will be jealous. Or that you can no longer hide your skills once you create your magnificent miracle. Or that you are waiting for someone to catch up to you. Or that you are afraid to let go of your 3D life. Or something different. It does not matter, for you will soon allow yourself to know which reason is true. And you will do so in short order because the larger part of you is ready to move forward. It is a bit as if you have collected your graduation certificate, but wish to have one summer without adult responsibilities. You will create your dream when it is right for you. And such will be MUCH sooner than you expect or realize. For now, just follow the joy of your inner-being and all will fall into place. There is no need to berate or compare yourself to others. For you are exactly where you wish to be and will move forward when the time is right for you – most likely, within the next few days. Not because it is a should, but because your inner-being is ‘chomping at the bit’ to get started with your new frequencies and segments. So be it. Amen. http://www.LifeTapestryCreations.com If you would like to receive Brenda’s blogs when posted, please click the Subscribe Button on the upper part of her Blog and Subscribe page and then click the – Subscribe to Brenda’s Blog by E-mail – line.

Mantra Remedy for Holiday and Post-Holiday Stress

Mantra Remedy for Holiday and Post-Holiday Stress

by Lalitha Devi | Dec 25, 2015 | Energetic Updates

 

Every year we hope the holiday season will bring us lightness in the heart and the joys of sharing, but these expectations go unfulfilled more often than not.

The truth is that when you add to your usual hefty load of tasks—traditional holiday shopping, late-night cooking, overeating, holidays card writing, festive email replies and more, there’s barely any time left for enjoyment, contemplation, wonder and love.

Tools for Better Thinking

For thousands of years the great sages of India and other spiritual traditions have delivered nearly magical sets of sounds that can shift your mood, heal a hurt, change your breathing, enhance love, calm the heart and more. These sounds have been traditionally called mantra, which loosely translated from the Sanskrit means “an instrument for auspicious thinking.”

The effectiveness behind mantras is well known to those who practice traditional yoga. When you give the mind a positive sound for concentration, an unexpected door to peace and quiet opens up. Even more importantly, energy builds in the body and the mind is refreshed.

Mantras bring you both material and spiritual benefits.

While we can find innumerable mantras in the Indian traditions, the most common and well-known is ‘OM’, for eons considered the primordial sound of creation. Many yogis and mantra practitioners can hear OM in deep meditation.

Chanting OM after a long and hectic day can prepare you for a sound and refreshing sleep.

Mantras are available to you at any time you need to feel more centered, they’re sound-based tools for well-being and can be chanted aloud. But when chanted mentally—they have been known to be more profoundly effective.

It goes without saying that you can mentally chant mantras anywhere and especially on your train and plane trips, or at any time when you are not driving a vehicle. In fact, mantras can temporarily change your consciousness and take you to subtler states of awareness.

These sounds cannot be used when your intense concentration is required. But they are rescue toolsfor regaining your peace after work and refreshing your mind during the holiday season.

Happy Holidays!

Eat Consciously

This is really important…the way we eat affects the way food nourishes us…Enjoy!

 

7 Simple Choices To Inspire You Eat Consciously

by Katrina Love SennDecember 25, 2015 

Did you know that there is a strong connection between the kinds of foods that you eat, how you eat them, and how you feel afterwards?

Especially at this time of the year, when food is in an abundant supply, it is even more important to focus and pay attention to the food that we consume.

Your relationship with food is an intimate one. And, just like any kind of important relationship in your life, the more conscious that you can become of it, the more joy and happiness it can bring.

At the height of adrenal fatigue, hormonal imbalance, and other chronic health problems, when I was sleeping for up to 20 hours a day and 60 pounds overweight, I became aware that I had been stuck in a chronic pattern of unconscious eating.

Due to my busy schedule and tendency to cram too much into my day, I would habitually override my body’s natural desire for proper nutrition by skipping meals. To compensate for this, I would unconsciously eat food on the run, during meetings or while I was working.

Here are the seven ideas I employed to transform my own eating habits. I hope that they can inspire you to eat consciously

1. Take 3 deep breaths before you start eating.

Before you eat, breathe deeply. This can positively affect how you think, feel, and act around food. Breathing deeply is a powerful way to quickly center yourself, so that you can let go of distractions and be fully present to the process of eating!

2. Before eating, give thanks for your food.

Another thing, I like to do before I eat anything, is to express gratitude for the food that I am about to eat. This expression of gratitude can be an internal, personal practice, or it can be a practice of verbally expressing appreciation to your fellow dining guests.

For example, before you eat, you can express gratitude to mother nature for growing the food, and thanking that food for helping you to create a healthy, strong body. As another example, you can personally thank whoever prepared the food for you. If you cooked it yourself, take a moment to acknowledge yourself.

3. Sit down comfortably to enjoy your meals.

Don’t eat when you’re feeling distracted or emotionally unavailable. Aim to eat when you can comfortably sit down to really enjoy your meals. Instead of eating in your car, at your desk, in front of the TV or your computer, take a moment to sit down and bring all your focus and attention to the food. This can help you to consciously create the body and health that you truly desire.

4. Use cutlery (not fingers) to eat your food.

This should be self explanatory, but healthy food usually requires the use of silverware! Understand that most processed foods are designed for convenience (can you imagine trying to eat crisps, chocolate bars or lollies with anything other than your fingers?). Whenever possible, aim to eat real food, from a bowl or on a plate, using cutlery.

5. Chew your food properly.

Did you know that digestion actually begins in your mouth? Most people eat unconsciously, and as a result they forget to chew their food properly. With each chewing action, you increase the proper break down of your food, using your teeth and the saliva in your mouth.

6. Slow down and really taste your food.

Remember that there is no need to rush the process of eating. Contrary to what you might have experienced growing up, eating is not a competitive sport! Let yourself slow down and relax so that you can really enjoy all the different tastes and flavors of your food, and fully delight in each mouthful that you eat.

7. Stop eating when you’re full.

Remind yourself that you don’t have to eat everything on your plate! Eat as much or as little food as you need, knowing that if you get hungry later on, you can always get something extra. Listen to your body, and trust your inner wisdom to guide you as to how much food you need to eat to feel fully satisfied.

When you pay attention to eating using these seven ideas, you can break old patterns of unconscious eating and literally transform the way you live forever.

As you become more conscious of your food choices and eating patterns, just like I did, you will be able to start to build a much healthier relationship with food. You will be able to enjoy the process of mindfully eating food, while also savoring all the many different tastes, textures, and flavors of food.

Conscious eating is a beautiful way that you can make inspired food choices that enhance your long term health and wellness.

You are Love…

Yes, Fear Is Inhibiting Your Love Life. Here’s The Fix

by Sherianna BoyleDecember 26, 2015 

 

Love is difficult to capture in words because it encompasses so many things. A dictionary might say it’s a feeling of deep affection or a strong affection for another person. Yet love is far more than a feeling; it is a force, an energy. Love is not only something you send to or receive from others; it is also an energy you connect to and experience.

Love is not something you want but rather a calling to who you are.

edefining Love

Think of love as formless, timeless, limitless, boundless, abundant energy swirling around within and around your body. Authors such as Richard Gordon and speakers such as Christie Marie Sheldon have established this phenomenon in recent years.

In love, anything and everything is possible. It doesn’t matter whether you are awake or asleep, young or old, poor or rich. You already have love, and different than having food or water, love does not come in a limited supply. Love is not something you want but rather a calling to who you are. You are far more than what you physically can do or see. Love is in you, around you, part of your creation.

What About Romantic Love?

People often confuse passion with love. Each of us is inundated with images of passionate sex, passion for looks, money, possessions, fame, power, and attention. Let me set you straight: Love does not crave any of those things, because it already is everything.

This universal love is also respectful of who you are and what you need. It is capable of removing what you don’t need while retaining what you do. Similar to how you might pull the weeds from a garden without disturbing the root system of a plant, love releases negative emotions while supporting your intuition and ability to sort things through.

Don’t Believe These “Love Lies”

“Love lies” is a term that captures a branch of self-limiting beliefs about love. Self-limiting beliefs stem from feeling “less than” or being told (by yourself or someone else) you are not enough. Love lies spin off these beliefs. As a result, you may find yourself being rather sarcastic, consumed by negative thoughts, or bitter about love.

Love is energy, you are energy, therefore you are love.

eft unrecognized, these little lies help build protective walls, hardening the energy around your heart. This makes love seem obscure, sketchy, and rather elusive.

Nothing gives me more satisfaction than exposing a love lie. It is like finding the clues to a mystery or solving a puzzle. Here are some untruths I have come across either in myself or in my clients:

• You either have love or you don’t.
• You have to wait for love to come to you.
• Love isn’t for everyone.
• Love means “taking care of someone else.”
• If your family didn’t tell you or show you that they loved you, then you pretty much grew up without love.
• Love hurts.
• Love shows up only when you are a size two or have lots of money.
• You need love.
• It is rare to find true love.

As you ponder these statements, know that what makes them false is that each of them is dependent on love coming from somewhere or someone else. Lie, lie, lie, false, false, and more false. Love is inside you. People and circumstances reflect what you feel inside.

These lies are based on your fear of losing love or perhaps never getting a chance to have it in the first place. (FYI, never having love is complete bullshit. Love is energy, you are energy, therefore you are love.) Love does not come toyou, it comes through you. You don’t need love: You can’t need something you already have.

I must confess that for most of my life, I confused choosing love with taking care of someone else. It didn’t matter if it was a friend, boyfriend, relative, or complete stranger; love was always a way for me to reach out and give something to someone. It never occurred to me to find love within. Yet the love within yourself is the strongest source.

How Fear Disconnects You from Love

So if this wonderful universal love is inside you and all around you all the time, why can’t you feel it? Because fear has gotten in the way and blocked your access to it.

You are probably used to thinking of fear in a very literal sense — being afraid of spiders, for example. But the fear I am talking about in this book is an even bigger concept than that. I’m talking about fear that’s such an inherent part of your life that you don’t even realize it’s there anymore.

It controls your decision-making, negates your ability to love yourself, and forces you to be less, do less, feel less. This type of fear shows itself in a variety of ways — such as insecurities, anger, stress, anxiety, blame, doubts, jealousy, lack of self-worth, and straight-up bullshit lies.

Are You Subconsciously Living in Fear?

But, Sheri, you say. I’m not afraid of love! I’d do anything to have more love in my life! I believe you, but I think you might actually have some subconsciousfear in your life. How do I know? Well, Dr. Bradley Nelson, author of The Emotion Code, reports that human beings are only about 10 percent conscious.

In other words, you might only be aware of about 10 percent of what is influencing you. Your fears might be lurking in that other 90 percent. The good news: Choosing to access universal love will help you clear out those fears and reclaim the path to love.

Tuning into love in the midst of negativity is like pulling the plug on fear. It will drain away and love will prevail.

The tricky part is that your conscious mind is influenced by your subconscious mind. The subconscious is the invisible part of you easily swayed by images and subliminal messaging. When you veg out in front of the television or computer, fear, negativity, and toxicity are more likely to reach you. Fear works like novocaine, numbing your ability to experience love.

You may be subconsciously buying into beliefs, illusions, and fantasies that play off a “lack of” or fear mentality rather than love. The truth is, love and fear do not mix. In fact, negativity hates love. It is its worst nightmare. Tuning into love in the midst of negativity is like pulling the plug on fear. It will drain away and love will prevail.

In my healing practice, I have discovered that two of the greatest fears human beings have are that they will never really know what it is like to be truly loved by others — in other words, that they will never “find love” — and that they will never know how to love themselves.

When you are afraid you won’t find love or keep love, you may end up “chasing love” or going overboard to find it. For example, you might want to “be nice” but then overcompensate by regularly doing things that others are more than capable of doing for themselves.

In other words, you try to “find” love via nice deeds. For example, I have seen grown, intelligent women sprint home after working all day to cook dinner for a boyfriend who could be cooking for himself.

Unfortunately, when you “find love” under these circumstances, it’s attached to fears of not being worthy of love. Universal love is never attached to worthiness — but you can see how well-meaning but fear-based actions can easily cause you to misinterpret the universal love.

Now, if you are like me, you are probably thinking, Crap, this choosing love thing is going to be HARD. You may be realizing how much of your life has been driven by fear and how difficult it will probably be to undo. I get it; I have been there. In the beginning, I was all geared up to take on the challenge.

What I have learned, and what I hope you will learn from my choices [notice I don’t say mistakes; I don’t believe in them] is that choosing love actually comes from a place of non-effort. What do I mean by that? The more you try, the less you actually feel. It is the trying that leads to tension.

Love happens when you sense and feel the direction. Something inside of you softens, listens, and trusts the path you are choosing regardless of the outcome. So don’t worry about the workload. It’s all gonna go smoothly when you give up trying to control love, I promise.

Subconscious Fear Thwarts Your Efforts to Choose Love

Science is finding that if you have a subconscious belief that you are fat or unworthy, or that life is unfair, your subconscious mind will knock out your efforts — unless, of course, you release these beliefs and build new ones (which we’ll do in this book). Your subconscious mind will return you to your “original state” of feeling fat or unworthy despite your efforts to change them. Only truly releasing those beliefs will allow you to build new ones.

Choosing love aligns you with your soul. Your soul is the part of you that remembers where you came from (love). So to choose love means to bring your soul back into your body. It is the blocks of fear that get in the way, and as these blocks are removed, you will be able to experience love’s power.Excerpted from Choosing Love Copyright © 2016 by Sherianna Boyle and published by F+W Media, Inc.

May the Spirit of Peace Be With You: Solstice 12.21.15

A message from Hillary Skott, Astrologer…Enjoy!

May the spirit of Peace be with You: Solstice 12.21.15

December 21 -27. 2015 The Solstice marks one of the four power points of the year as the Sun moves into ambitious Capricorn. Christmas day we have a super full moon in sensitive family loving Cancer. There is mystical connection to Neptune and a inspiring contact between Jupiter and Mercury. It’s a powerful time to get clear and certain about what you wish to accomplish and attract.Now is the time for your New Years resolutions.  There is real umph behind your wishes now- get clear, set goals. Be practical while trusting that life is truly magical.

The Capricorn Solstice marks a time of withdrawing our energy to gather our resources.  We can go within to get clear about what it is we would like to welcome into our lives in the year to come.  Capricorn is a stable, persistent, energy that likes the finer things in life. Often hard won with a long focused climb to the top of one mountain after another. We need this Saturn ruled energy to help lay solid foundations to build our empires on. Saturn wants you to ask yourself what your legacy will be. What will you leave behind of yourself when you leave this earthly dimension?  This time of year is perfect for serious ponderous thinking.

On Christmas Day there is a lot going on astrologically with a emotional Cancer full moon. A lucky trine between truth telling Jupiter and communicator Mercury and a harmonious trine between ultra spiritual Neptune. I imagine our ancestors and loved ones on the other side will be close to us this day. Bask in the Love and connection. No doubt we will all be feeling grateful and blessed this day.

You may need to carve out a little alone time to connect to your guardian angels.  What messages are coming through? Uranus is moving direct after 5 months retrograde.  Sudden flashes of uncanny intuition are likely.  Your special part in the grand scheme can be suddenly seen and forward movement is effortless now.  Or at least the beginning of  brave strides in bold new directions. Directions you may have known you need to take for awhile but have been resistant to. Write this stuff down so you don’t forget.  The ideas that tend to resurface have meaning- don’t ignore them.

Honor yourself this during this special time of year.  The more you love you the more love you have to share with others. Seek peace and you will be a source of peace for others.  Peace, Love and Harmony are worthy pursuits. Commit to bringing more of these higher qualities into your life.  Please listen and share this powerful guided meditation by Orin on the Spirit of Peace.  May Peace be with you.  May Peace be with us all.

Can You Hear What I Hear?

From Shanta Gabriel during this beautiful season…Enjoy!

Messages from Archangel Gabriel .

Can You Hear What I Hear? Receiving the Gifts of This Holy Season Dear Ones, Hark! The Herald Angels are singing. Can you hear the Angel voices? They are inviting you into their midst. The Angels are calling you to rejoice in the Divine Love and Light streaming onto the planet during this special time called Christmas. Can you hear the Angels whispering to you? Listen with your heart. Allow your whole being to be receptive to these Divine Messengers who have watched over you throughout your soul’s existence. They are here now with one voice singing the idea of Unity within all beings. Making a joyful noise, they offer you the gifts of Divine Light and a Love beyond your understanding. Receive it into your heart and shine this blessed Light out into the world. Just be receptive now and allow Divine Grace to fill your being. This is one of the Angelic Gifts being offered at this time. Grace is needed to sanctify the Earth, and to bring greater coherence, respect and an honoring of the gifts the Earth supplies in abundance. It is time for the people to offer to themselves and to their planetary home the nurturing it needs to sustain life. When humans honor the Earth, they also honor the elements of themselves that make up the Earth. Your Birthright In fact, it is your birthright to live in harmony with the Earth, to feel Divine Love in your being and the power of Life Force surging through you in ever-increasing waves. Allow it to spark every cell in your body and increase love in your being. As you do this, you glow as a radiant light. It shines forth from you and you become the Light to the World that the earth needs right now. It is a choice for you to make moment to moment, and it requires you to create an intention to receive the harmony you want in your life, and a mental flip of the switch within your thoughts to create it. Becoming a Light to the world is not arrogant. When one carries conscious awareness of Higher Truth, it becomes your duty. As the apparent darkness of chaos and fear are so obvious, what could you need more than Light? At this holy time the Light of the Christ energy is more available than ever before. This blessing carries the energy of Divine Love into your heart and out into your world. Feel this Light in you that holds the divine qualities of Wisdom and Love, and share it with others. Radiate Light to your government and the world leaders. Send it to areas of chaos in the world, and to those who work hard to ease the suffering in those places. Transmit Divine Light to the environment, and to all the living beings that are not human on this beautiful planet. Don’t forget to shine the healing Light onto yourself and your families. This energy activates and reconfigures the power that inspires you into Divine Right Action. It is one way to bring harmony and overcome despair within yourself and the world. And then there were Angels As you celebrate the gifts of this Christmas season, there are many who remember the Angels during this time more than at any other time of the year. Legions of Angels are gathering ever nearer the earth now, drawn by the prayers and the thoughts of so many people. This is a tremendous blessing that opens your heart to more love and allows your mind to receive a greater level of Grace. It is a good time to take a moment to honor and connect with your Angelic guides. Ask for personal assistance in all areas of your life and listen – really listen, as the Angels whisper in your heart. They want you to follow your heart’s message and feel the guidance available to you from the spiritual realms. There is an Angelic representation for the Soul of the Earth and the Heavenly Realms. Your guardian Angel can work with these Angelic beings to bring more harmony within you so you can feel more connection to your Spiritual Source and more inner balance. Your Guardian Angel Your Guardian Angel has been given the duty to help you to live in alignment with your goals and intentions for this life. Through your personal guardian angel, you can learn to live in greater peace with yourself as a prerequisite for Peace on Earth. This Angel is also offering to you the ability to feel Oneness and Union with your most Divine Self. As you have grown into adulthood, your Guardian Angel waits for you to ask for help.Consider that it is now time to ask. Your Guardian Angel has been with your soul since its incarnation, offering guidance and protection so you may find your Divinity and fulfill your spiritual destiny. This beloved angel has intervened on your behalf to relieve your karma and wants nothing more than the fulfillment of your soul’s imperatives. Take time to feel gratitude for this Divine Messenger who lovingly cares for you and has watched over you throughout your life. Archangel Gabriel and the Realm of Archangels At this holy time of the year, there is also more awareness of the Archangels. Archangel Gabriel holds the empowerment for the winter season, and stories abound of his intervention throughout the ages during the darkest nights. The Archangels are given Divine charge over all communities, nations and seasons. During the 12 Holy Nights beginning December 24, the Archangels freely erase all boundaries between nations and factions. The Light of True Peace prevails in the Heavenly realms, and can be called forth onto the Earth. Join with the angelic host to spread this Light through your own life and pray for healing of all nations and families. Use this pervasive light from the Archangels to bring greater consciousness through you and all beings on earth. This energy can make a true difference, bringing Peace within all hearts. The realms of the Angels are available as never before during this precious window of time. The Twelve Nights of Christmas There is a stillness of this season that pervades the northern hemispheres as the earth sleeps in the darkest time of the year. People know the sunlight will return, and it is the same with the spiritual realms. With faith, you believe that in the darkest times, the Divine Light will prevail. There are ancient traditions that honor the return of the Light following the Solstice. As you allow your soul to rest in the depth of the darkness, you can symbolically come into the clarity of the Light and receive a much-needed gift by creating a personal ritual for this time that has meaning for you. Consider the beauty of the symbols within the Twelve Nights of Christmas. You can use the time from December 24 through January 5 as an inner journey to give birth to the sunlight in your being, and illuminate the darkness within and around you. As the Archangels use this powerful time to end separation, they create an opportunity for true world peace when the empowered energy is focused on peaceful coexistence. The Twelve Nights of Christmas act as windows to your soul’s purpose and can empower your new year. Many traditions light a colored candle for each night. The Twelve Nights can be used as an opportunity to go back through the 12 months of your year and honor your achievements and the lessons learned. Each night can feature a spiritual hierarchy and a virtue that you would like to bring into your life in the New Year. It is a special time to pay attention to your dreams because they could be prophetic during the Twelve Nights. There is also an opening for the clear light of understanding and insights from the Angels that can work through you. More information about the Holy Nights is available at ShantaGabriel.com here. Some Christian traditions honor the 13th night, January 6, as Epiphany. As the twelve nights progress, you can set a goal for true clarity and wisdom to enter your mind and heart during the twelve nights. Is it not appropriate for you to receive a clear epiphany about your life as well? Give and it shall be Given Unto You It is a wondrous tradition to give freely during this Holy Season. Your generosity of spirit and willingness to give opens the energy centers within your body so that God’s Infinite Love is experienced. This Divine Love is unconditional and flows so freely, all are blessed by its presence. When hearts and minds are touched in this way, there is a healing. You will never be the same. You can keep this sense of loving gratitude and willingness to give within you throughout the year by setting the goal to do so. Peace on Earth and Good Will Prevails By creating your personal traditions and meaningful ritual for this Holy Season, you can use the spiritual support that is available to you. With this support and your clear intentions, you can experience transformation within your being and blessings in your life. Do not let the material world overpower the beauty and depth that truly exists during this special time. Remember that the Angels are available in this Holy Season and be grateful for their presence. Once again these messengers from God are saying, “Rejoice! Awaken to the birth of the Christ Light within you, and praise God for the gifts and blessings abundantly available to all.” Let this Divine Light fill you now. Allow it to enlighten your mind and heart, and illuminate every cell and fiber of your being. Your willingness and open-hearted acceptance of this Divine Love blesses your body, mind and spirit. Receive this gift and allow the Light of the Christ to be born within you this Holy Season. Let this Light shine forth from you so there may truly be Peace on Earth and Good Will between all beings. And so it is.

Glorifying Senseless Violence

Reposting a worthwhile message from Anodea Judith…

GLORIFYING SENSELESS VIOLENCE

By Anodea Judith

How many times do we have to witness the senseless killings of fanatics with guns to realize this issue goes much deeper than gun control, deeper than a women’s right to control her own body, and deeper than a mental health problem? We have no right to be surprised when it happens.

Until we address the deeper systemic level of this problem, gun violence will continue to massacre innocent lives and make everyday life increasingly dangerous.

For starters, every time there is a killing, it dominates the news—for hours or even days– iterating every gory detail, showing bloodied victims on stretchers, police cars lined up like a grade B movie, TV journalists invasively interviewing grief stricken family members, and newspaper headlines making the killers globally famous, if not infamous.

As horrific as these killings are, the 12,234 deaths and 24, 751 injuries by gun violence so far this year are a small number compared to, say, iatrogenic deaths from medical mistakes, which number close to a million a year by some estimates.

But bad news makes good news. The networks know that fascination with horror garners attention like no other subject.

Then there’s the issue of glorified fictional violence in movies and television shows, again mostly with guns. Even a carefully chosen movie is preceded by 20 minutes of shoot-em-up previews, featuring every kind of weapon imaginable, wielded by men trying to look manly as they shoot and dodge bullets, while their femme fatale runs for her life in high heels.

And let’s not forget the factions that are literally making a killing on weapons sales, perhaps the biggest culprit of all. The United States is thehighest exporter of weapons worldwide, almost doubling Russia in 2014. The combined arms sales of just the top 100 weapon manufacturers worldwide was $395 billion in 2012 according to Stockholm International Peace Research Center. The Small Arms Survey research center estimates there are 875 million small weapons in circulation worldwide, 4.5 million sold annually in the US alone. Do we expect these guns not to be used?

Gun control is vitally necessary, but it’s merely a stop-gap measure to limit the bleeding while the deeper slaughter continues. Until we remove violence from the center of our news, our entertainment, and the economy, these senseless killings will continue their bloody rampage on innocent life and our common good sense.

Love and light.

5 Common Hair Problems & Foods That Help Reverse Them

Good Advice…Enjoy this helpful info!

5 Common Hair Problems + Foods That Help Reverse Them

by Dr. Bindiya Gandhi

November 25, 2015 5:27 AM

I field a lot of questions and complaint about hair loss from my patients. Many of them want a quick fix or an answer as the “why,” but it’s not as simple as they’d like it to be.

I know how frustrating it can be to lose hair and feel totally helpless because I’ve dealt with thinning hair for many years. In my case, the stress of medical school, residency and life in general played a big role in my issue, but there are so many reasons why someone might be losing hair. From nutrition to hypothyroidism, hormonal changes to autoimmune disease, it’s rarely a simple discovery.

I used to beg physicians to check my thyroid function, sure it was the root of my problem. But every time, the results came back normal. It took a while, but through trial and error, I finally figure out that a poor diet was causing my hair woes. It took a few months of eating healthier, more nutrient-dense foods, but eventually my locks regained their health.

If you feel like your hair is changing quickly and you’re concerned, here are five common hair issues, what might be causing them and how to reverse them.

1. Thinning hair

If your thyroid, autoimmune and hormonal testing comes back normal, thinning hair might be a sign of protein, zinc or selenium deficiency. Since zinc promotes cell reproduction, tissue growth and repair, not having enough in your system can definitely damage your strands’ ability to grow.

Similarly, selenium functions as antioxidant, enhancing your immune system and supporting the body’s ability to continue functioning properly, including hair growth.

What to eat: Foods high in zinc include anything of animal origin, like seafood, poultry, red meat and shellfish. Eggs and milk contain zinc, but in smaller amounts, and nuts, seeds and legumes are good sources for vegetarians. Brazil nuts, organ meats and tuna are high in selenium, and of course all are high in protein.

While you can take supplements, I always caution against them since high levels of zinc have been linked to prostate cancer in men.

2. Prematurely grey hair

Hair that’s going grey prematurely is probably attached to a body that’sdeficient in vitamin B12. Since healthy, strong hair relies on a constant supply of blood and oxygen, it’s crucial to maintain optimal levels of B vitamins since they’re essential to the formation of hemoglobin, which brings around the body. If your B vitamins are low, it’s likely that the blood and oxygen supply to your hair is suffering.

Luckily, prematurely grey hair can be reversed if you get those B12 levels up.

What to eat: Foods rich in B12 include shellfish and crustaceans, liver, meat like beef and lamb, fish such as salmon, sardines and tuna, and dairy like yogurt and milk. Vegetarians are extra susceptible since the most common sources of the vitamin are in animal products, so they may want to take a daily supplement to make sure their levels are healthy.

3. Dull hair

It doesn’t take a glossy magazine ad to let us know that shiny hair is a sign of health and vitality. But you don’t need to spend money on hair dye or special products for shinier hair — just load up on protein- and iron-rich foods.

Since hair is made primarily of protein, it makes sense that including it in your diet will help maintain healthy growth and shine. Without enough protein and iron coming into your body, it’s hard to replace hair that falls out naturally. Just make sure the protein you’re eating isn’t high in fat: high-fat diets can result in increased testosterone, which has been linked to hair loss.

What to eat: Iron-rich foods include beef liver, spinach, oyster and bison. Stick to lean proteins like fish, chicken, soy, low-fat daiys, eggs and almonds. (You can take an iron supplement but I don’t recommend it unless your doctor has checked your ferritin levels. Iron is a Goldilocks-level delicate mineral: a little too high or a little too low can cause serious issues.)

4. Dry hair

The most common causes of dry, brittle hair are external: heat styling, chemical dyes, chlorine. But if you’re not guilty of any of these and your doctor has cleared you of medical reasons, you might want to incorporate more fatty foods into your diet.

If your hair is dry and brittle to the touch, it may because your scalp isn’t getting or producing enough natural oils to moisturize your locks as they grow out. Load up on essential fatty acids, something the body needs but can’t produce on its own. Focus on Omega-3s, which help blood circulation and cell growth, and help hair follicles absorb nutrients better so they’re moisturized and strong as the strands grow.

What to eat: Try incorporating foods like salmon, walnuts, chia seeds and flaxseed into your diet. Another trick I like is to use coconut, almond or olive oil as hair masks. Massage the oil into your hair overnight and wake up with smoother, softer locks! You’ll notice your dry hair get softer when the appropriate essential fatty acids are included in your diet.

5. Dandruff

Dandruff — also known as seborrheic dermatitis — is a condition that causes a scaly, dry, itchy, flaky scalp, and it’s most common in people who are low in zinc and essential fatty acids. Remember: zinc promotes cell reproduction, tissue growth and repair, so having enough will guarantee the skin on your scalp is in good shape.

What to eat: Quinoa, beans, nuts, lentils and oranges are high in zinc, while flax, almonds, leafy greens, whole grains and eggs are great sources or essential fatty acids.
