<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Many studies have proven
that colors have an effect on your mood. But you don't need a scientific study
to tell you that. Simply walk into a predominately blue room and then walk into
a red one. How did your mood change? Chances are, you felt happier and calmer
in the blue room then you did in the red one. That's because red is a more
energetic color than is blue. But you probably didn't consciously think about
it. Instead, your mood simply responded to it. But you can consciously use
color to affect your mood by meditating (visualizing) the appropriate color at
various times throughout the day.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Before starting your
color meditation, you need to know what the meanings of some of the main colors
are, and what they tend to do to your mood.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.8pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: large;">Red<o:p></o:p></span></span></h2>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As noted above, red is
an energetic color. It wakes you up, makes you alert, and may cause
aggressiveness. It is the color of passion-sexual and otherwise. Meditate on
red when you need extra energy, courage, or confidence to complete a particular
task. Too much of a focus on pure red, however, can make you irritable or
feverish. Therefore, you should not meditate more than a couple of minutes at a
time on red.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A shade of red, pink is
a gentler, warmer color than is its bolder counterpart. Pink is the soothing
color of love and affairs of the heart. Meditate on pink when you want to open
your heart to love, or when you want to expand the love that you already feel
for someone or something.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Universally considered a
tranquil color, blue is the one you should choose to soothe your frazzled
nerves. There are, however, many different shades of blue that have differing
effects on your mood. Royal blue is a more energetic shade of this color, with
a meaning similar to red. Navy blue denotes seriousness. Baby blue or sky blue
will calm you down. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The color green represents
nature, renewal, and healing, just like grass and foliage. Meditate on green when
your emotions need some renewal and you would like to start over.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.8pt; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Representing friendship,
yellow is the color of happiness and optimism. Think of the warming rays of the
sun on a lazy summer day. This is the way that meditating on yellow should
affect your mood, making you happy, content.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When you feel you need a
boost for your mood, pick one of the colors associated with the desired mood. Several times during the day, close your eyes and visualize a
ray of that color coming down from the ceiling, entering the top of your head,
and coursing slowly throughout your body. Visualize the inside of your body
becoming the color that you have chosen. If you have trouble imagining the
color itself, think of a particular item of that color. For instance, for red,
think of an apple. For green, think of the grass. For yellow, think of the sun.
Soon, you will have no trouble at all vividly seeing these colors in your
imagination.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I use these color

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">These days you
can find material on the Law of Attraction everywhere. It is in bookstores, TV,
DVDs and the Internet. But do you fully understand how it works? Do you ever
wonder why some people can use it effortlessly to gain what they want all the
time while others cannot get even a simple result from it. More importantly
though do you understand why it only works sometimes for you or not all?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Because you can
think and because you can feel and express emotion you are a creator already.
Through your ability to think and feel you are using the Law of Attraction
every second of everyday to attract to you the life you are currently living.
By virtue of your dominant thoughts and feelings you are attracting everything
that you have ever experienced and ever will experience into your life. You are
a creator. However, chances are you are an unconscious creator. If you wish to
become a conscious creator - a person who deliberately attracts and creates
their life the way they want it to be - then you need to understand how to use
the Law of Attraction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It is not
necessary to understand all the intricate inner workings of the great law but
it is essential that you develop a deep understanding of how to use it
properly. Many people do not understand how or why gravity is created but they
still know not to step off a ledge that is 10 stories high!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The very first
thing you need to do is create an intention. Having an intention is not only
the first step in attracting whatever you want, it is also the most important
and the most powerful. Without having a solid concrete intention you can expect
to achieve little and you never live the life you deire to live. Your life will
drift along on the oceans of change while you are carried this way and that
depending on the desires and the intentions of those around you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Law of
Attraction can be summed up simply in a short yet powerful sentence. If this
sentence were totally understood the rest of this article would be unnecessary
as would all the current and unwritten works that teach this law. The truth
behind the Law of Attraction can be quantified in this short statement: You get
more of what you focus on in life!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This means that
whatever you give your attention to with thought and feeling you energize. As
you focus your energy through your thoughts and feelings you are activating the
Law of Attraction and setting it in motion. Through the Law of Attraction you
then begin to attract into your life more of what you are concentrating on
regardless of whether it is wanted or unwanted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">You are mostly
using the Law of Attraction unconsciously. Sometimes you use this to your
adavantage but most times you are activating this law to bring you things that
you do not want. For example, as you focus on lack of money, bills and debts
you will attract more things that require you to spend your money, more bills
to pay and more debts to clear. If you focus on the problems or arguments in
your relationship you will attract more reasons to argue and more problems to
worry about.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Conversely, if
you direct your focus to those things that are working well within your
relationship you will attract more things that work well and create more
harmony between you and your partner. If you focus on the positive aspects of
your finances like having a roof over your head, a car, a job and money to pay
the bills then you will attract more of these into your life. Basically, if you
feel grateful for the things you have you will attract more of them but you
will also attract more things to be grateful for!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In addition you
can also create a focus for yourself. For instance if you desire a better job
or higher income you can begin to imagine what that would look and feel like to
have. As you focus on that mental image everyday you will begin to attract
situations, circumstances and people that bring that vision closer to reality
and ultimately into your life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It is your
ability to focus you attention on something that makes you a creator. By
focusing your attention you activate the Law of Attraction. However, it is your
Intention that unlocks the door to using the Law of Attraction to deliberately
create a life that is pleasing to you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Setting an
intention is very powerful because it forces you to direct your focus on what
you want and not on the lack of it. If your try to use the Law of Attraction to
create more money in your life without setting a concrete intention then you
will tend to focus on the "wanting" feeling which is in fact just
focusing on the lack of money in your life. Most people fail to manifest
anything consciously simply because they become frustrated and disheartened due
to a misdirection of their focus - they are concentrating on wanting instead of
what it would be like having!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">List three
things that would bring you joy if you had them in your life today. Under each
of these desires write a few reasons why having it would bring you joy and make
you happy. Once you have determined the reason state the emotion you are
feeling that is assosiated with it. For example I intend to have $20,0000 in
additional income because I could treat my wife to new clothes more often and a
family holiday and this would make me feel like a better provider and give me a
sense of pride, joy and accomplishment while making me feel safe and secure in
my marriage and home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Taking these
simple steps means that when you think of your intention to attract or create
an additional £20,000 in income you are focused on the goal itself and the
feelings of having it rather than on the lack of it. The more intense your
feelings of having it are the faster it will manifest. Now please note I am not
saying that the more you want it the faster it will come! Wanting something can
actually keep it away from you. Why? Because by wanting you are focusing on the
lack! Focus your feelings on having it and you will attract it into your life
with a speed that will surprise and perhaps even shock you. This is a knack but
once you do it, it becomes easier the next time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and every night read the list of intentions and the reasons for wanting them.
Visualize what you will be doing when you have these things and most
importantly of all FEEL how you will feel when you have them. When you generate
the feelings associated with your desires you have already activated the Law of
Attraction and the manifestation of your desires has already begun!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better.<br />
<br />
Most of us are familiar with this quote by renowned French psychologist, Émile Coué. Indeed, the method of auto suggestion (self-hypnosis) that he created is still being used today. Repeating daily positive affirmations is supposed to effortlessly bring you your heart’s desires. Many people are discovering, however, that affirmations not only fail to work, but sometimes bring the exact opposite of what they intended.<br />
<br />
What’s going on? <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Repeating Affirmations as True May Cause Doubt</span></strong><br />
<br />
Repeating daily positive affirmations can sometimes bring negative results when you don’t believe your words. <br />
<br />
This is because the value of affirmations lies not in the words, but in the feeling behind the words! Positive affirmations work when you feel the truth of what you’re saying. They don’t work – or backfire – when your words instill doubt in your heart and mind.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Doubt Destroys Success!</span></strong><br />
<br />
Having doubt either hinders or completely destroys success. <br />
<br />
As usual, the Holy Bible says it best in one of my favorite verses:<br />
<br />
<em>For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be though cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. – Mark 11:23</em><br />
<br />
The problem with most affirmations is this: you state them as a present fact knowing that they are not true right now. Yes, if you repeat it often enough, faith may rise up in your heart. But until then…you don’t believe what you’re saying. In this case, such repeated repetitions, even if positive, will cause you to focus on what you still don’t have.<br />
<br />
The result? <br />
<br />
Your positive affirmations won’t work and can even cause the opposite of what you want to manifest.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">How Does this Work?</span></strong><br />
<br />
It’s a subtle process, but it goes something like this:<br />
<br />
You repeat this affirmation several times a day: “I’m 120 pounds and feel GREAT!”<br />
<br />
But you weigh 260 pounds and feel awful.<br />
<br />
So each time you repeat this positive affirmation, your mind calls you a liar. In fact, you can’t help but remind yourself how far away from 120 pounds your body really is. Each time you repeat this statement, you focus on your weight problem and how tough it is to lose weight. You become discouraged. You start eating bigger helpings at dinner. You add cake, cookies, pastries, and other goodies to your diet.<br />
<br />
Your affirmations for having the perfect figure haven’t worked. In fact, you’ve gained an extra 10 or so pounds!<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Secret to Making your Affirmations Work</span></strong><br />
<br />
The secret to making your positive affirmation work, then, is make the statement true for you – no matter how removed from reality the end goal actually is.<br />
<br />
How do you do this?<br />
<br />
In the book, Law of Attraction: The Science of Attracting More of What You Want and Less of What you Don’t, Michael J. Losier advises us to re-phrase your affirmation like this:<br />
<br />
I am in the process of…<br />
<br />
Put this phrase at the beginning of your desire/affirmation.<br />
<br />
For instance:<br />
<br />
I am in the process of losing 50 pounds.<br />
<br />
I am in the process of weighing 120 pounds.<br />
<br />
I am in the process of finding my dream job.<br />
<br />
I am in the process of having $50,000 in my savings account<br />
<br />
I am in the process of being financially stable.<br />
<br />
Using, I am in the process of, makes any affirmation true for you! This phrase will take away your doubt and resistance to the idea of having your desire, and your positive affirmations wills start to work for you!<br />
<br />
Try it and see. <br />
<br />
Do you have a tip for making affirmations work?<br />

Ten years ago, <em>The Purpose Driven Life</em> was released and became the bestselling nonfiction hardback of all time. It still holds that distinction. So why release a new edition? According to author and pastor, Rick Warren, this book is for the new generation, those who were too young to read the original book. <br />
<br />
But the message is the same and as timeless as ever: “It’s not about you,” Warren writes. He goes on to explain that because we were made for God’s purpose, we must “begin with God.” And until we realize this, we will never discover our life’s purpose. Upfront, Warren points out 5 biblical verses that spell out what our purposes are. He then presents a 42 day spiritual practice that, if you follow it (reading one short chapter a day), you will discover why you were born and what your mission on this earth is. <br />
<br />
Warren’s writing is fresh, instructive, and inspirational. I believe that one of the reasons this book may transform your life, as it has transformed so many others’, is that it forces you to really think about and investigate your purpose. You have 42 days of immersion in biblical principles to do it, each chapter building upon the previous one. <br />
<br />
This new edition of <em>The Purpose Driven Life</em> includes two new chapters. There are also links to a 40-50 minute audio message at the end of each chapter that really help to drive home the teachings of each section. If you want to discover your purpose and transform you life, I highly recommend this book. If you want to help transform someone else’s life, give them a copy of <em>The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth am I Here For?</em> <br />

<em>Lifesigns: Tapping the Power of Synchronicity, Serendipity and Miracles</em>, Alex Marcoux, Littleton, CO: Jenness, 2012, 224 pp
<br />
<br />
In her new book, <em>Lifesigns, Tapping the Power of Synchronicity, Serendipity and Miracles</em>, Alex Marcoux tackles a mysterious, intriguing, and sometimes frustrating topic. All of us have experienced signs from the Universe – although many people choose to call them, “coincidences” – but interpreting these experiences is another matter. Ms. Marcoux, however, suggests that we can do just that, developing a sort of two-way communication with the Universe that will guide us every step of the way.<br />
<br />
In the introduction of <em>Lifesigns</em>, the author writes:
<br />
<br />
“What if we knew the Universe was giving us messages through synchronistic, serendipitous, or even unexplainable events? What if all we needed to do was develop a language with the Universe to interpret what Source is telling us? Wouldn’t we pay more attention and view life with awe and wonder if we could identify the signs as they emerge in our lives? Wouldn’t life become easier and richer?” <br />
<br />
Yes, indeed, life would become easier and richer if we could converse with the Universe, and my life has also become richer for reading this excellent book. In <em>Lifesigns</em>, Ms. Marcoux tells us not only how to interpret these signs from the Universe, but how to call for the signs. By doing this, you truly become part of the process.
There have been so many times in my life when I’ve been overwhelmed by synchronicities, with no way to interpret them, that I felt I was going crazy. Next time that happens, I will refer to this book. <br />
<br />
In case you haven’t figured it out yet, I highly recommend Lifesigns: Tapping the Power of Synchronicity, Serendipity and Miracles. This is the best book about interpreting synchronicities that I have ever read!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Halloween is not only a time of costumes, parties,
trick-or-treating, jack o’lanterns, and candy. It’s also the time when the veil
between the living and the dead is thinnest. This means that you can more
easily contact the dead. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
But how do you do that? It’s easier than you think. Here are some methods to help you contact your department loved ones – or anyone else you want!<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Contacting the Dead – 3 Easy Ways</span></strong><br />
<br />
Contacting the dead is usually harmless. But because the veil between the living and the dead is so thin on Halloween, evil spirits can also creep in. So before you summon spirits, you need to ask for protection. This can be as simple as saying a short prayer:<br />
<br />
<em>Dear Lord. I ask for your protection and ask that only good spirit come through to me in this session. Amen.</em> (You can use any deity you’d like.) <br />
<br />
You can also visualize a white or purple light streaming down upon you from heaven, then circling your body through the duration of the session. <br />
<br />
After you have asked and received protection, you can proceed to one of these methods of summoning spirits.<br />
<br />
1.<strong> Meditation</strong>. Go to a room where you will not be disturbed for at least 30 minutes. To set the mood, you may light candles and incense and play soft music, if you’d like. Sit in a comfortable chair, back straight, feel flat on the floor, with your hands (palm up) on your lap. Touch your thumb and index finger together on each hand. <br />
<br />
Inhale slowly to a count of three. Hold breath for a couple seconds. Then exhale to a count of four. Repeat several rounds, concentrating totally on your breath. Whenever thoughts intrude (and they will), simply return your attention to your breath. <br />
<br />
After a few minutes, start noticing your thoughts. Notice how they arise from nothingness and how they return to nothingness. Don’t engage your thought or try to hold onto them in any way. Simply let them come and go. After a few minutes of this, start noticing the space between your thoughts. <br />
By this time, your thoughts should have calmed down quite a bit. <br />
<br />
Now…every time there’s a space between your thoughts, ask a question of someone who has passed on. Think your question, as opposed to asking it verbally. Then wait for the response. Now that your thoughts have settled down, you should be able to hear the spirits. They actually talk to you all the time, but your mind is usually so busy, you don’t hear them. This Halloween, you can actually listen to them!<br />
<br />
2.<strong> Scrying</strong>. You can contact the dead using a reflective surface like a crystal ball, a black mirror, or even a glass or bowl filled with water. Staring into a reflective surface is believed to induce a state of altered consciousness. <br />
<br />
Just like with meditation, go to a quiet room where you won’t be disturbed for at least 30 minutes. Then…put your scrying object – crystal ball, black mirror, etc – on a surface at a level where you can comfortable look at it when sitting in a chair. Position an armchair so that it’s facing the table. Light a candle and put it on a stable surface somewhere behind the chair. Again, you may light incense and play soft music, if you’d like. Turn off any lights. The room should be totally dark except for one flickering candle.<br />
<br />
Sit in the chair, close your eyes, and begin breathing slowly and deeply. As you breathe, relax your body and clear your mind. Relax and breathe for about ten minutes. Then open your eyes, and gaze into the scrying object. Look deeply into it, but with a softened gaze. (Let your eyes go out of focus). <br />
You may instantly start seeing images, or you may see a mist form before images appear. You may also see nothing the first time around. (However, some people do see images in the very first session.) Don’t try too hard, and don’t scry for more than 20 minutes in the beginning. This is a method that takes practice. But you may also be one of those lucky people who see something immediately, especially if you do this on Halloween. <br />
<br />
3. Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP). You can listen to recorded sounds of spirits. This method is amazingly easy. All you have to do is turn on a recording device, ask the spirit a question, and then shut up and let the machine record silence for the next few minutes. When you play the recording back, however, you may be amazed to discover that you’ve recorded a spirit’s voice. (You will not hear this voice while recording, only during playback.) Though easy, the EVP method doesn’t usually give you a lot of information. Rather, you will probably just hear a word or two. But it’s probably enough to let you know your loved one is alive and well – at least in the spirit world!<br />
<br />
There are many more ways to communicate with the dead, but these three are probably the most common. (Yes, I forgot to include the Ouija Board!) Do you have any favorites you’d like to add?<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
I’m about to undertake a self-improvement challenge that is far more difficult than any weight loss plan. Starting on June 1, 2012, I am putting myself on a 30-day mental diet. And I invite you to join me. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
That’s right. For 30-days, I am going to break my ingrained, life long negativity habit. After these 30-days are up, I am going to be negativity-free…permanently. Notice, I didn’t say that I’m going to “try to” break my negativity habit. I said I’m <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">going</i> to do it. See how positive I’m already <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">being</i>?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What’s involved in a mental diet?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
A mental diet involves only thinking positive thoughts. If you think this will be easy, for you if not for me, think again. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
You see, negative thinking is automatic for most people. In fact, I’m so steeped in negativity that I don’t even recognize my negative thoughts. See if you recognize yourself in any of these scenarios:</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span>Your boss asks you to give a speech in front of the Board of Directors, and you think, “I can’t do that. I’m terrible at giving speeches!!!”</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span>A driver cuts you off on the freeway and you automatically judge him (or her) as being rude and selfish.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span>A co-worker makes a comment that you feel is critical of you and you get defensive, feeling that the co-worker is either jealous or out to get you. </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span>You look in the mirror at your overweight self and get depressed, thinking that you’ll never be able to lose that weight.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Do you recognize the negativity here? No? Well, some of it is subtle. In fact, you may think that you’re just stating a fact when, in fact, you are being negative. For instance, is being terrible at giving a speech really a fact, or is it a negative concept of yourself? See what I mean?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stopping Negativity</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Of course, it’s unrealistic to think you will be able to stop all negative thoughts instantly. They will creep in. But the key is to change the negative thought to a positive one as soon as you recognize it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
But you need to be vigilant in catching negative thoughts. And the only way you can catch them is to recognize them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Here is a passage from the classic, consciousness-raising book, “Three Magic Words,” about what kinds of thoughts to ignore on a mental diet:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
“What are these thoughts that we are going to refuse to entertain? They are any thoughts that might in the smallest or greatest manner cast into a pessimistic or poor light yourself, your family, your friends, your social group, your state, your nation, or the entire human race. They are, in short, negative thoughts of any type, regardless of whether they seem personally aimed at you yourself, or even at an inanimate object.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
This is a tall order, but we can do it if we really try.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Why go on a Mental Diet</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Perhaps I should have explained the reason and benefits of going on a mental diet upfront—thoughts are <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">things</b>. What we think about, day in and day out, is what we will produce in our lives. Whatever we think about ourselves, we will become. We can, indeed, change our lives by changing our thoughts. As Dr. Wayne W. Dyer says, “Change the way you look at things and the things you look at changes.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
So while it seems that we may be in denial when we say that the world is a peaceful, loving place (for instance) we are actually creating this world according to our thoughts. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
So won’t you join me for this 30-day mental diet? I would love to hear your experiences! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

You Decide<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
I am always being told that I look familiar or that someone has seen me somewhere that I’ve never been. When this happens, I usually just tell myself that I must have a twin out there that <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>lives close to me. But there have been a few experiences that make me think it’s more than that. Could I be bilocating without remembering it? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Difference Between Bilocation or Astral Travel</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
As I understand it, bilocation is where your astral body, etheric body, physical body, and your consciousness are in two or more places at the same time. By contrast, astral travel is where just your astral body and your consciousness separate from your physical body. During a bilocation, then, other people can see you, whereas during astral travel, they cannot. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Since your consciousness, in both bilocation and astral travel, also goes with you, I would think you should remember the experience. And this puzzles me because, in the following experiences of what (perhaps) may be bilocation, I didn’t remember any of it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

(This was when I still smoked). It was cold, and I was wearing an ugly putty gray coat. A girl from the factory was on her break, too, and she told me that after break, she was going to the medical clinic to have a drug test. Break ended, and she left. When she returned, she asked me if I had been at the medical clinic because she had seen me there, and I had been wearing the same coat. Of course, I had never left work. Also, I mentioned my ugly putty gray coat earlier for a reason—it was not stylish, so I doubt very many women, even those who may look like me, would choose such a coat to wear!</div>

One day, a guy at work asked me if I had been pulling out of a particular gas station at around 5 pm the previous evening. When I said no, he said he saw a woman who looked exactly like me, wearing my trademark (at that time) ponytail, pulling out of the gas station. Now here’s the kicker…the woman was driving the exact same car as me, and her car had a dent in the bottom part of the trunk, too. Only <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">hers</i> was on the opposite side!</div>

Instead, I had my hair cut in a cute bob style. One day, my neighbor commented that she had seen me pulling out of a side road and that I was crying. Of course, I had been no where near this road she described. Nevertheless, this woman apparently looked exactly like me, had the same haircut, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and…she was driving a blue Kia Sportage. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Now, if this is not some type of unconscious bilocation, I must actually have a twin who always looks like me (right down to my hair styles throughout the years) and drives the same vehicles that I drive. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
This is STRANGE. So, do you think I’ve been bilocating? Have you ever had any experiences with bilocation or astral travel?</div>

This chaneling is a bit long, but oh, so fascinating. Let me know what you think.<br />

There is so much I want to tell you, but again, we start softly. We honor the energy in the room. We create a bubble around us of wisdom, so those who wish to hear will do so. We speak to many, not just those in the room. I want you to honor this moment, for it's for you. This is not idle information. This information has a profound, Human stamp on it. It means that whatever I'm telling you, you have created. I'm aware that this message is being given in two languages [Spanish and English]. The information is complex, yet simple. So we need you to listen to understand concepts prepared in advance for you by those on this side of the veil who know who you are.</span></div>

If you are indeed an old soul, it is affecting you, and each of you has a different affectation. That is to say, each one of you will have a different way of responding to the energy. Old souls have something very interesting. They may be old souls, but that means that each of them has a vastly different experience of lives. So each of you is going to react separately and uniquely to the energy of the planet's shift. However, all of you are feeling something interesting.</span></div>

They could prophecy a problem ahead on the track because it's part of the circle. It's well known in time, and those who might give a name to it would call it fractal time. In past Human history, some of the difficult parts had actually created the termination of humanity. Some have resulted in a start-over of humanity. The energy that you are in now had a duality in its potential. You could have started over or you could start something the planet had never seen before.</span></div>

Therefore, you change the past as you move toward the future. This is not an easy concept to understand; however, it explains so much to the linear mind of how these things can be.

What else do you think could change the magnetics of your entire planet? It has to recalibrate, and in order for it to do so, it's going to need help. Your solar system is the engine of magnetic change for this planet. If you know anything about how the solar system works and the energies of it, then this will start to make sense.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In your solar system, the core is the sun. It sends out what is called the solar wind, which is almost entirely magnetic. It's a magnetic energy that literally blasts out from the sun and contains only what was generated from the sun. That magnetic energy has a name - the heliosphere. It "blows" that magnetic wind against the magnetics of your own earth, and that changes your planet.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For if the energy is always the same on Earth, then very little will ever change. For those who wish to get technical, you might say the magnetics of the sun blows against the magnetics of the earth and you will have two interacting magnetic fields. This creates something called inductance, which is a mystery to science. It's the "soup" of overlapping magnetic fields that allows for energy exchange of information and amplification without a power source. It's well used on Earth, but the attributes are seen as mysterious.</span></div>

You may call them solar storms, but they're just a recalibration for you, and they will worry you. This is because there are many sensitive electronics on and around the planet, and these instruments will react. You count on the magnetic field of your planet to remain the same, but it can't remain the same when there is a giant solar storm happening. Certain kinds of communications will be disrupted. Perhaps even the power grid could be interrupted.</span></div>

It is happening through intelligent design, the love of God and the Creator, changing things for your consciousness. It is a new way of thinking that is developing, literally touching the very DNA field of each Human. This changes the information within the DNA and allows the Human Being to capture and enhance attributes of a new reality it never had before.</span></div>

Everything your scientists have seen in physics happens in pairs. At the moment, there are four laws of physics in your three-dimensional paradigm. They represent two pairs of energy types. Eventually, there will be six. At the center of your galaxy is what you call a black hole, but it is not a single thing. It is a duality. There is no such thing as "singularity".</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UcGiddVqWOY/T4Y_peLC_rI/AAAAAAAAASk/uuEWGNamlIQ/s1600/military.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" qda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UcGiddVqWOY/T4Y_peLC_rI/AAAAAAAAASk/uuEWGNamlIQ/s400/military.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Piercing the veil that covers terrifying and chaotic world events is easy once you start waking up to your spiritual essence. While you’re still asleep, however, it’s almost impossible to see the manipulations of the shadowy figures that control our world, because they’re so <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">good </i>at mind control. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
But once you accept the fact that there are people (for want of a better term) working behind the scenes to enslave us, you can wake up easily. You begin to see, for instance, that all the seemingly random, but chaotic, events begin to make cohesive sense. You begin to see how you’ve been hypnotized into your belief of separateness, an “us against them” mentality.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">War is Good</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Case in point…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
I watched half of the American Music Association Awards recently. In the brief time we were watching it, they gave two or three mentions and tributes to our fighting men and women in uniform. Of course, these mentions garnered wild applause from the audience. Most of the people watching the show at home probably felt really patriotic. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Me? I saw through it as another manipulation, probably priming us to accept an upcoming war with Iran. (The globalists own everything, including the media, so it’s not difficult to insert your messages in every media outlet). This particular message said: war is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">good</i>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">War is Bad</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Now don’t get me wrong. I fully respect our men and women in the military. It’s the concept of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">war</i> that I disagree with. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
I can’t even hazard a guess at how many millions of innocent people—including our heroic troops—have been killed in wars perpetrated by corporate greed and just greed in general. There are many types of greed, you know. Greed for natural resources. Greed for money (because war puts money in the pockets of those who build tanks and other weapons of killing and destruction). Greed for power. Greed for territorial control. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
The shadowy people at the top don’t care about human life. They don’t bat an eyelash at the death and destruction they cause. Instead, they encourage an “us against them” mentality that has, in the past, caused the public to support any war they said was necessary. Then they send our troops into battle with the same “us against them” mentality.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">Waking up </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
But there are strong signs that more and more people—including our troops—are breaking free from this “war is good” spell that we’ve been under for thousands of years. (The globalists’ “war games” are not the only spell from which we’re waking up, but I’ll leave this for another time). More and more of us are starting to see that there is no separation between us. Rather, we are all <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">one</i>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Not long ago, I was so upset by the blatant signs that America was fast becoming a fascist country and that the NWO was upon us, that I couldn’t sleep. My mind was racing with all the dire events that I was sure would happen to us and the world. I wanted to run, but there was no place <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">to</i> run.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Then I had a brief mental flash that I consider to have been a vision: I saw troops everywhere putting down their weapons. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
I believe that this, indeed, will happen. As the whole world wakes up to the real spiritual essence of all of humanity, the troops will refuse to fight and kill any more people. Indeed, one of the most important ways to defeat the globalist agenda is for the troops to do exactly that—refuse to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">fight</i>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
And I believe they will.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
In the words of an old Monkeys’ song, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Zor and Zam*:</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Two little kings playing a game</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
They gave a war and nobody came</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
And nobody came</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
And nobody came</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
And nobody came</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
And nobody came</div>

The Coming Revolution, written by Richard G. Lee, is a book
that I would read again and again. I don’t know if I knew that Dr. Lee is a
pastor when I requested this book to review. I don’t know whether or not it
would have mattered. Although I am not traditionally religious, I do believe in
God. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But it doesn’t really matter. Dr. Lee does not preach at you
in this book. He simply tells a story about our heritage—and what a brave
heritage it was. Our forefathers were godly men who founded our country on
principles of faith in a higher power. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He gives quite a history lesson in this book. I don’t know
if I ever knew some of the information he shares, but it was very interesting. But
he doesn’t use this just as a history lesson; rather he uses it to draw a
parallel between the atrocities perpetrated on our forefathers by King George
of England and those that are perpetrated on us today by our leaders. His words
convinced me that we are, indeed, on the verge of another American Revolution.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

But Dr. Lee does not believe that it will be fought with
guns or other weapons, but with our votes and other (less violent) means. </div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text1;">As the name implies,

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text1;">But from what I
have read so far, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A Year with Jesus</i>
is a well-written book full of encouragement for Christians everywhere. Each
date starts with a passage from the Gospels. This passages is followed by an
explanation by the author. Mr. Nettlehorst has a talent for explaining Jesus’
words in light of the time period from which he lived. I think that the entire
New Testament, including Jesus’ words—is so difficult to understand if you are
missing the historical context to the text. Nettlehorst provides that missing
link. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text1;">In the process, he
gives you true comfort. I imagine that Jesus would be (or is) truly happy with
Nettlehorst’s book. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
Happy New Year 2012!<br />
<br />
This is the year that the Mayan's spoke of. No, it doesn't mean that the end of the world is coming. Rather, it means that a new era of peace will reign--a new earth. <br />
<br />
Can't you see the signs of it already? The Occupy Wall Street is now worldwide. The Arab Spring toppled its dictraitorous (I just made up this word) leaders. A couple of days ago, 500,000 Syian protestors took to the streets, protesting the unfair policies of their ruler. People are awakening. They are telling their governments and their dictators...<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">ENOUGH IS ENOUGH</span></strong><br />
<br />
The needs of the people should never be subservient to the selfish needs of the governments!<br />
<br />
<strong>People MATTER.</strong><br />
<br />
Indeed, people and love is the only thing that really matters. <br />
<br />
So as you protest for freedom and equality in 2012 and beyond, remember this what Margaret Meade said:<br />
<br />
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."<br />
<br />

</div>
</a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If you need protection, comfort, and even guidance…you
might want to call on Archangel Michael. He does not mess around, as I found
out recently. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I have never been one to pray to angels, much less
Archangels. But desperate situations lead to desperate measures. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Earlier this month, a controversial bill was passed
and will soon be signed by President Obama. This bill is called the National
Defense Authorization Act and it really destroys American’s Bill of Rights. For
instance, this allows for the possibility that Americans can be “indefinitely
detained” if they are expected of terrorist activities, associating with
terrorists, or even committing a “belligerent act” against the United States. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Besides the fact that this bill will deny Americans
expected of such crimes the right to face their accusers and the right of a
speedy trial, the language is so broad that it could include average protestors
or anyone who disagrees with the United States’ policies. (I have read, in
fact, that the U.S. has defined protestors as “low level terrorists.”)<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, I got really upset and started obsessing about
what this bill could mean for this country and the world. I started imagining
the United States turning into Nazi Germany. I imagined them busting into my
house in the middle of the night and arresting me for my belief that all men
and women are created equal and have certain inalienable rights. As I’m a writer,
I have a vivid imagination, and I could actually feel myself and others being
rounded up and sent to detention centers (concentration camps) and even <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">death</i> camps. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Of course, I was also reading all the online
articles about this subject and watching all the scary YouTube videos which
even added to my fear. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In my mind, this horrible incarceration and death of
American citizens was a done deal, and I was scared <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">to death</i>. My fear was so great, in fact, that I actually considered
suicide. </span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Archangel
Michael to the Rescue</span></span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Instead of killing myself (or going totally insane) I
remember something that I had recently read about Archangel Michael by Doreen
Virtue. This Archangel is the head angel and sits on the right side of God. He
is the warrior angel and is the one that is said to have thrown Lucifer out of
God’s kingdom. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Archangel is frequently pictured with a sword and a
shield, signifying both his role as a warrior and as a protector, but as one
that cuts the bonds of anything that no longer serves you (such as fear). But
you can also call on Archangel Michael for help in any situation. Apparently,
he is the “all purpose” Archangel. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So I figured I would pray to him. I prayed that he
would bring peace to the world and that he would bring me peace. I asked him to
cut my bonds of fear. I asked him to calm me down. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Oh my GOD!</span></strong></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next day,
the woman who had been desperate and suicidal (me) woke up feeling “the peace
that passeth all understanding,” as the bible says. This has been several days
ago, and I STILL feel totally peaceful. All of those feelings and mental
pictures of doom and gloom are entirely gone. I know that God has everything
under control. I know none of what I visualized will happen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So if you are ever upset or scared, call on
Archangel Michael. He will help you. Trust me. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Watch my video below for a little more explanation
on my experience.</span><br />

<em>Adventure in Everything</em>. Matthew Walker. Carlsbad, CA: Hay House, Inc., 2011, 205 pp.
<br />
<br />
In <em>Adventure in Everything</em>, Matthew Walker writes:<br />
<br />
“The purpose of this book is the significance of adventure and how pursuing some aspect of it in everything you do will help you attain the quality of life that has just been described.”<br />
<br />
After reading this book, I would say that Walker succeeds in this.
Drawing on his experiences as a mountain climber, Walker shows us how we can take what he learned about his breathtaking adventures and apply them to our own life.
But being the teacher that he is, Walker doesn’t just instruct us in how to have <em>Adventure in Everything</em> and then let us go. Rather, he includes detailed instructions in each chapter (homework, if you will) that shows us how to implement these techniques.
<br />
<br />
At only 205 pages, this book can be read in one sitting. But its teaching can inspire you forever. I highly recommend <em>Adventure in Everything</em>. <br />

Use the link below and order it for a Christmas gift for yourself or a loved one this year.<br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">KINDLE FIRE</span></strong>
<br />
<br />
The Kindle Fire is a combination of the Kindle reader and an iPad, only much cheaper. With this product, I can instantly download zillions of books and search the web. Awesome!

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">EMPOWERING WOMEN: EVERY WOMAN’S GUIDE TO SUCCESSFUL LIVING</span></strong>
<br />
<br />
I have never heard of this book by Louise Hay, but it seems like something I’d like to read!
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">HOPE: A GUIDE TO SACRED ACTIVISM</span></strong>
<br />
<br />
As I am becoming more aware of the disintegration of human rights in our world, I’ve become more interested in becoming a social/political activist (this from a woman who spent most of my life feeling that nothing I could do would matter).
Anthony Harvey has written this book about sacred activism (a term which he coined). I saw him interviewed by Lilou Mace and knew that I had to purchase this book. Apparently, he espoused a way of being that bridges both the “I’m above it and the world is totally my perception and I will go to hell if I participate in worldly stuff crowd” and the “I don’t care what it is, I need to protest it with hate and violence crowd.”
<br />
<br />
This is a book that I need to read and, perhaps, you should read it also. (Please watch theYouTube video of Harvey’s interview below and then order the book). With sacred activism, we may be able to transform the world!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Sal5q2ov6cE/TuJeI6C4DvI/AAAAAAAAAP4/DD5PlvjiW9I/s1600/Full+Lunar+Eclipse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Sal5q2ov6cE/TuJeI6C4DvI/AAAAAAAAAP4/DD5PlvjiW9I/s400/Full+Lunar+Eclipse.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There will be a full lunar eclipse tomorrow,
12/10/11, at 4:45 am Pacific Time. At this time, the full Moon will appear to
be burnt orange in color. The total lunar eclipse will last from 6:05 a.m.
until 6:57 a.m. (PT) where the full moon will be totally darkened. If you want
to see it, you should put it on your calendar. This is the least full lunar
eclipse until 2014.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If you are into astrology, you must be asking what
this full Moon lunar eclipse means for you. Well, that depends upon your
astrology chart. Any eclipse—solar or lunar, partial or full—adds power to the
planets. An eclipse of the Moon, however, affects people on a personal level. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I expect this full Moon lunar eclipse on December
10, 2011to be a doozy for me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Full
Moon Lunar Eclipse and Me<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In astrological terms, when the Moon is full this
means that the Sun and Moon are in opposition. Generally, during this time the
masculine (Sun) and feminine (Moon) are in conflict. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I was born during a full Moon (go figure) with a
Sagittarius Sun and a Gemini Moon. The full Moon lunar eclipse, therefore, is
mimicking the condition that was present at my birth (minus the lunar eclipse).
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Moreover, my Sun is in my 5<sup>th</sup> house (of
creativity, gambling, children, etc) and the Moon is in my 11<sup>th</sup>
house (of friends, hopes, and wishes). I expect, therefore, that there will be
tension between my creativity and my hopes and wishes. As I have recently gone
to full time writing, this is the area in which I expect this stress to play
out. For instance, my creativity may not fulfill my hopes and wishes. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Whatever happens, I know it should be interesting!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Do you have any experience weathering a full Moon
lunar eclipse?<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Mercury is still retrograde, and I should have been
more careful with my computer documents. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Last night, I had a computer virus that forced me to
restore my computer to an earlier date. The instructions to do so said that my
documents would not be disturbed. Boy was it wrong. I lost all but my most
recent documents. This means that I lost my book that I had almost completed
writing! <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">My mom was an astrologer and I know I lot about astrology.
Therefore, I should have known something like this could happen and I should
have saved my important documents elsewhere. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Mercury rules communications, technology, and
mechanics of all kinds. When Mercury goes retrograde, all of these matters are
confused. Thus, you can expect confusion in appointments, computer glitches,
and even transportation breakdowns. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">How retrograde Mercury impacts you depends upon the
sign it is in and which house in your chart it is traveling. </span><br />
</div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mercury
Retrograde in Sagittarius</span> <o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Right now, Mercury is retrograde in Sagittarius. I have
a Sagittarius Sun with a Gemini Moon. As my 6<sup>th</sup> house is
Sagittarius, Mercury retrograding here means that my daily work would be
impacted in some way. It is also opposite my 12<sup>th</sup> house, the house
of solitude, so this would impact the work that I do alone.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So, the moral of this story is:<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Even though you know astrology doesn’t mean that you
necessarily pay attention to its warnings! <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Do you have any stories about how this, or any other
Mercury Retrograde, period has affected you?</span><br />

<br />
In the introduction of his book, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Shift Happens!</i>, Robert Holden writes:<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Shift Happens!</i> is
about is about personal alchemy and inner transformation. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Some people “go”</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">through
life; and other people “grow” through life. Shift Happens!</i> celebrates your
unlimited potential to grow, blossom, and evolve—in spite of everything. It is
a book of hope. </div>
After reading this book, I would agree. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Shift Happens</i>! is, indeed, a book of hope. <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Weaving together story after story, many taken from patients
that he treated in his role as a psychologist and happiness coach, Dr. Holden teaches
heart-warming stories of hope and healing. I truly felt a “shift happening” in
my spirit as I read this beautiful book.</div>
This book is also a fast read with easy-to-understand
concepts. <br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ditch the Doldrums: 9 Keys to Health and
Happiness in the New Year<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by Mark
Allen and Brant Secunda</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Adapted from their bestselling book,
"Fit Soul, Fit Body"<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<br />
<br />
Are you stressed-out, overweight, overworked,
uninspired, or plagued by negative emotions? Don't worry -- anyone can achieve
health and happiness by trying out some new behaviors and attitudes, and
working at it step-by-step. Here are nine ways to achieve a fit body and soul
in 2012.<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Key #1:
Balance your responses to the six types of stress. </b>Chronic stress produces
high cortisol levels that don't go away. Chronically high cortisol will make
you sick, physically and emotionally. Stress can come from multiple sources
including these six: negative emotions, too little sleep, poor diet, overwork,
toxic chemicals, and inflammation. The antidote for stress is balance. Look at
each of these six stress triggers individually and work on finding small ways
to reduce excesses and achieve more balance in each area. Seek more laughter,
calmness, and clarity in your life. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Key #2:
Quiet the mind.</b> Ignoring external chatter and focusing on one thought or a
single repetition is an extremely effective tool for dissipating emotional
stress and helping shift negative thoughts. Learning to quiet your mind also
helps to reduce cortisol levels in your body and increase DHEA, a feel-good
hormone that promotes feeling of serenity. Quieting your mind can help you
sleep better, eat more healthfully, and keep work and life pressures in
perspective. One of the best ways to quiet your mind is to exercise, especially
outside.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Key #3:
Transform fear, anger, and jealousy. </b>Good thoughts lead us to incredible
awareness and experiences. Olympic athletes know this, which is why they psyche
themselves up before a big event. Each day brings personal "Olympic
moments"--for instance, an important meeting, a big workout, a tough but
necessary talk with a friend, or a commitment to a daily spiritual practice.
Fear, anger, and jealousy hinder our optimal performance. Bite off a smaller
chunk of tasks that seem overwhelming. Get perspective on the real significance
of your troubles and reactions by being out in nature. Accept the fact that
challenge is normal and life is not controllable.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Key #4:
Reconnect with the spiritual world of nature. <o:p></o:p></b><br />
<br />
Who hasn't been touched by a rose in bloom or
trees coming to life in the springtime? Having a sense that you and Mother
Earth have a special relationship lets you know that everything is as it should
be, which makes our souls happy. The more you connect to nature, the more open
you will be to its wisdom and calming influence.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Key #5:
Honor yourself.</b> Self-love is the best way to honor yourself, and the most
immediate tool you can use to fortify yourself against negative emotions like
fear or self-doubt. Learning to honor and love yourself instantly transforms
"need" into "peace." One of the factors that eats away at
self-love is boredom--boredom with work, boredom with your own repetitious
behaviors, boredom with life. Try to find what's new in the old; seek out new
ways of thinking and behaving. Draw strength, support, and affirmation from
community. <br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Key #6:
Know and set the quest.</b> To get somewhere, you first have to know where you
want to go. What physical goals are you striving toward? What kind of person do
you want to become? Having these answers sets your intentions, helps focus your
efforts, and provides you with tangible ways to measure the results. Set small
goals. Set yourself up for success; for example, schedule your workouts at a
time when you'll be most likely to do them. Turn your attention away from
negative thoughts.<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Key #7:
Live what you ask for. </b>Asking for a healthy soul but choosing unsupportive
friends will only prevent you from finding peace. Asking for a fit body, but
eating junk foods, will only sabotage your own success. Surround yourself with
actions, thoughts, and people who will empower you and allow you to achieve
your personal success. <br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Key #8:
Slow down to get faster.</b> In the modern world, most people feel they must
push their bodies and souls to the limit to make any gains in fitness, or in
life. Slowing down allows your body to run more efficiently. Apply small
focused changes that are gradual versus intense.<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Key #9:
Invite your inner cave man to the table. </b>Our bodies weren't built to
withstand the rapid changes we've witnessed in our food industry. The hunting
and gathering we once did has turned into drive-throughs, super-sized meals,
and chemically laden foods our organs don't have the ability to use or process.
Eating the right amounts of carbohydrates, fats, and protein based on ancient
genetics keeps you from eating either too little or too much, both of which
cause us to hold onto unwanted and unnecessary body fat. Drink lots of water
and eat whole, unprocessed foods. <br />

Spiritual gifts are a wonderful way to say Merry Christmas
to a friend or a family member. But what kind of Christmas gift should you
give? That depends. I normally list about 5 books that I recommend, but I know
that not everyone likes to read.</div>
So…<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
I will recommend 3 spiritual CDs or programs that I have
personally listened to and I think they are <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">great.

yourself—please order through the links below. As I am an Amazon Associate, I

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">3 Spiritual Gifts for
the Holidays<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Living a Life of
Inner Peace – Eckhart Tolle<o:p></o:p></b></div>
This CD is a recording of a live
presentation by Eckhart Tolle and I absolutely love it. I have listened to this
CD several times, and I always get something new out of it. This CD is
informative to both those new to Tolle’s teachings and to those wholly familiar
to his teachings. Throughout it all, Tolle’s warmth and humor shines through.
He is a great speaker and what he has to say is truly enlightening.<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 117.0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Getting in the Gap – Dr. Wayne W. Dyer<o:p></o:p></b></div>
This is a book and CD set from the
Father of Motivation, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. The book explains “getting in the gap,”
which is the space between your thoughts where all miracles are born. The CD
takes you on an exercise to help you get into the gap. I thoroughly enjoyed
this journey.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 117.0pt;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 117.0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Meditations for Meditating – Dr. Wayne W. Dyer<o:p></o:p></b></div>
“Meditations for Meditating” is a
CD adjunct to his book, “Manifest your Destiny.” Indeed, this is one of the
many spiritual gifts that keep on giving. On this CD, Dr. Dyer leads you in a
morning and an evening meditation, using the sounds of creation. I won’t tell you
what these sounds are (I don’t want to spoil it for you), but soon after I
started meditating with these tapes I experienced a huge synchronicity!<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 117.0pt;">
<iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=mysttour-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=156170315X&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe></div>
So order of these spiritual gifts
this Christmas—or any other time—and let me know what you think!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I’ve always known about angels, guardian angels, and Archangels. But I had never paid much attention to angel communications, angel rescues, and the like. Not surprisingly, then, I had often skipped right past Doreen Virtue as a possible “find” on my spiritual reading list. Boy was I wrong. </div><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Angel Therapy Handbook</i> is wonderful. While reading it, I felt as though Ms. Virtue was my personal coach, showing me how to set up my own angel therapy practice. <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">She starts by describing the purpose of angels in general and your guardian angels and Archangels in particular. One reason that I had never spoken to my guardian angels or Archangels is because I couldn’t see the reason to do so. When I prayed, I had always prayed to God. In <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Angel Therapy Handbook</i>, Ms. Virtue tells you why talking to angels is a great option that you should use <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">in addition</i> to praying to God. </div>Ms. Virtue then delves into all the various angel therapy methods, the same methods that she teaches in her workshops. Remember…Ms. Virtue also trains and certifies angel healers, the classes of which (I’m assuming) are not cheap. The point is this: in this book, you’ll probably learn most of what she teaches these students, and at a fraction of the cost. <br />
<br />
Included in this book is also invaluable advice in how to pick your expertise, develop your professional reputation, set up an angel therapy practice, market your services, and start giving lectures, workshops, and speeches on your topic.<br />
An added bonus is that this book is written in a clear, easy-to-understand style and is a fast read. After all, I read it in 2 days which probably amounted to about 4 hours. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
If you want expert advice in talking to angels for yourself as well as for others, I highly recommend this book.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Today is Black Friday and people are filling the shopping malls in search of the perfect deal on the perfect Christmas gift. The current headlines on this shopping frenzy is that one Los Angeles woman let loose with pepper spray, shots rang out in a NC shopping malls, and fights have broiken out between Black Friday deal shoppers in many malls around the nation.</div>Wouldn’t you rather avoid all that?<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">You can if you do at least some of your shopping at Amazon.com this year. You can even maximum the return on your gift buying investment if you gift your Black Friday deals aficionado with a spiritual book (or 2 or 3).</div>Below are 4 books that I have personally read and think are fabulous. <strong><span style="font-size: large;">If you want to order them, or any other product through Amazon, please order through any Amazon link on this blog. </span></strong>As I am an Amazon Associate, I get a slight fee when you make a purchase through me.

<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success</span> </b>by Deepak Chopra<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">This is by far my favorite book by Deepak Chopra. In easy to understand language, Deepak outlines the 7 spiritual laws that, if followed, will make you successful in all areas. The highlight of each law is a list of action steps that you can take immediately to make your dreams a reality. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success</i> can be read in one sitting, and it is so effective at helping you accomplish your goals. It is also so small that you can make it a stuffing stocker for Christmas. You simply cannot go wrong by purchasing this book. </div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=mysttour-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=1878424602&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe><o:p></o:p></b></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">Law of Attraction</span> </b>by Michael J. Losier</div>Law of Attraction by Michael Losier is another great book. Losier succinctly sums up the basics of the subtitle: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Science of Attracting More of What you Want and Less of What you Don’t</i>, and he gives you clear instructions on how to do this. He also tells you how to find out what it is you truly want, as most of us don’t know what that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">is</i>. This is another books that can be read in one sitting but one that you will return to again and again as you begin to manifest awesome things in your life. If you follow the directions in Losier’s book, this may be the last Christmas of financial struggle for you.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">Think and Grow Rich</span></b> by Napoleon Hill</div>If you have never read the classic book, Think and Grow Rich, you have to buy it. Long before the term “law of attraction” was coined, Napoleon Hill wrote about this then mysterious power. I think the book is more than 50 years old and it’s still in print for a reason—the principles outlined in this book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">work</i>. This is a book that is also small enough to be a stocking stuffer this Christmas. <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=mysttour-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=1612930298&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">The Attractor Factor</span></b> by Joe Vitale</div><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Attractor Factor</i> is another effective, easy-to-read book that will help you to manifest your desires. If you don’t know who Joe Vitale is, you must have lived under a rock for the past 10 years or so. Once homeless, Joe is now called “Mr. Fire” for his ability to motivate others. The Attractor Factor would be a great read for you and a great Christmas gift for a friend. <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=mysttour-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=0470009802&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe></div><br />

I just came across the wonderful piece about gratitude. It explains this process so well--which makes sense because it was given by Archangel Gabriel--that I had to share it with my readers. (Please excuse the funky formatting. I copy and pasted it and could not figure out how to remove this formatting. <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">AA Gabriel channeled by Shanta Gabriel</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></strong>Gratitude is an attitude that can profoundly change your consciousness. When you live your<br />
life in thanksgiving, it can affect your being at a biological level, training your mind<br />
and body to live in a higher state of health and wellbeing.<br />
<br />
The creation of new attitudes of thanksgiving in your life attract new streams of<br />
light-filled energy to bless all that is honored in this way. When a blessing of<br />
thanksgiving is made in any moment, it confers light-filled Divine energy upon the person<br />
who sends it, as well as the situation being blessed. In challenging times it may seem<br />
difficult to find something to feel grateful for. In spite of this difficulty, one way to<br />
create a positive change in your life is to give thanks for what you have now. You can<br />
even give thanks in advance for what you want to create. This allows a shift in your<br />
consciousness so that you begin to attract new beneficial energy into your life.<br />
<br />
When you find nothing else, you can give thanks for just being alive so your soul will<br />
evolve. It is a gift to be in a human body and your body is a miraculous instrument.<br />
Consider the fact that you have a heart within you that needs no conscious assistance on<br />
your part to continue beating. Remember that you don’t have to tell your digestive system<br />
to do its work.<br />
<br />
All of these body parts are functioning in a wondrous Divine plan of perfection. When you<br />
turn your attention to these systems within your body, when you begin to give thanks for<br />
the incredible processes that continue 24 hours a day within you, they will function at a<br />
higher level. Your focus of attention with gratitude and blessings will bring more light<br />
and strength into your vital organs. For extra energy, consider filling these organs with<br />
a healing color such as pink or green, which brightens them with Divine Light. For fun you<br />
can then imagine a smile on a body part such as your liver or your heart. This will not<br />
only bless your organs, it will lighten your mind.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Your Body and Science</span></strong><br />
<br />
Dr. Emoto in Japan proved that beautiful crystalline structures were created when words of<br />
peace and love were placed on a glass filled with water. Imagine what grateful thoughts<br />
and words of kindness can do to your body with its high percentage of water content.<br />
Science has also proven that the cells of the body can become healthier when one has<br />
thoughts and beliefs that are positive. The subconscious mind hears all the words you say<br />
to yourself and interprets them as truth.<br />
<br />
Athletes have used creative visualization as a powerful asset in their respective sports.<br />
Studies have shown that the mind makes very little differentiation between the act of<br />
physical practice and the mental visualization of a highly trained athlete. It is<br />
extremely valuable to remember this and apply it to your own bodies. The act of giving<br />
thanks for your wondrous, healthy, strong and flexible body can lead it to respond in<br />
positive ways that assist in creating new healthier cells. Your body contains a Divine<br />
Blueprint of perfection that can be called forward into present day experience. It begins<br />
with giving thanks for your body right now, just the way it is, and adding the ideas of<br />
what you would like to create within you.<br />
<br />
When you give thanks for your mind that is clear and serene, for a brain that functions<br />
with balance and precision, and especially when you give thanks for the Divine Light<br />
continually empowering your thinking processes, there is a positive response within you.<br />
Your gratitude will bless your mind and allow it to function at a higher level of<br />
vibration. These simple acts not only change your mind, they inspire your emotions to<br />
respond with delight. Imagine the idea of delight, and the thought of this, sometimes less<br />
than familiar feeling, will spark a new level of inspiration in your being. Your<br />
imagination is an influential tool of empowerment, and it can be used for ill or for the<br />
good in your life.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Gratitude is the Attitude that will take you into your Heart</span></strong><br />
<br />
Consider the idea that your thoughts are like prayers reaching out into the Universal flow<br />
of life. When you use your thoughts consciously, they become prayers that shift your<br />
perspective so you can see a greater picture of what is actually going on in your life.<br />
Prayers of gratitude are very powerful, and stimulate an increased flow of spiritual<br />
energy into every situation. This force can create miraculous change for good in your<br />
life. It may take a little effort to find something to be grateful for when you are<br />
feeling down, but prayers of thanksgiving can help create a beautiful shift in your mind<br />
when you do so.<br />
<br />
It is vitally important for your future to nurture compassion for yourself, the mistakes<br />
you made as you were learning about life, and forgiveness for the person you were in the<br />
past. Be grateful for all that you have learned and all that you are. This act is a good<br />
beginning for a peace filled and happy future. You can open new doors for tomorrow with<br />
your grateful thoughts today.<br />
<br />
No matter how it feels, you are never alone. You are here on earth to remember your<br />
connection to the Spiritual Presence in your life. You are meant to live a happy, abundant<br />
life with deep fulfillment. In order to do this, it is necessary to step out of the<br />
challenges life presents and into the flow of God’s love, which will bring you more<br />
creative solutions. There is one place where you can always go to feel the power of Divine<br />
Love, and that is in your heart. Gratitude is the attitude that will take you into your<br />
heart. It does not matter if you see nothing in your life for which to feel grateful, just<br />
the act of giving thanks opens a door in your heart to allow Divine Love in.<br />
<br />
Sometimes it seems as though prayer is difficult or there may be negative associations<br />
with organized religion from childhood. Perhaps some suggestions for prayers of<br />
thanksgiving can be useful. Here are some possibilities for prayers that may help you to<br />
lift your thoughts and connect your heart to the One Heart within all beings:<br />
<br />
Divine Presence<strong>,</strong><br />
<br />
Thank you for the abundant beauty of Nature that inspires me and offers the many blessings<br />
to all who will receive. Thank you for helping me to honor your Creation in every way I<br />
can.<br />
<br />
Thank you for this day. Help me to see the blessings in my life, and learn the lessons<br />
given to me to learn. Show me what I need to know in order to grow into a more kind and<br />
loving human being, and take care of my responsibilities with grace and ease. Help me to<br />
share the gifts you have given me in a way that adds more value to the world.<br />
<br />
Thank you for my mind that is clear and expansive. Thank you for helping me to be open to<br />
new ideas that can bring good into my life. Thank you for my amazing body that is strong<br />
and flexible, and for the organs within it that are functioning with perfection. Bless<br />
each cell and fiber of my being so that it is filled with your Divine Light.<br />
<br />
Thank you for the forgiveness growing in my heart and the compassion within me for the<br />
person I am right now. Help me to also have compassion and understanding for others as<br />
they walk their own path in life.<br />
<br />
Thank you for helping me to live my life in peace and harmony, and to be a radiant light<br />
for Divine Love in the world.<br />
<br />
For these and all my blessings, I say, “Thank You God.”<br />
<br />
May this time of Thanksgiving fill your heart with a new awakening to the Loving Presence<br />
within all things and bless every area of your life with pure Gratitude.<br />
<br />
So be it. Be it so. Amen.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Celtic Jewelry Christmas Gift Ideas</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">If you've been thinking of the perfect Christmas gift to get a loved one, you might think about Celtic jewelry. It is absolutely beautiful; the pieces are endowed with a lot of spiritual significance. If you order these from Amazon, please order through the links here as I am an Amazon associate and I will get a small commission. Plus you will be supporting my blog!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">About the Celtic Peoples</span></strong> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">I don't know much about the Celtic people, but I have always been attracted to their symbology as depicted in jewelry. (I wonder if I had been a Celt in a past life?) </div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">What I do know is this: the Celts were tribal peoples that lived in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, Europe, and Asia Minor. Each tribe or sect of Celts had its own customs and spiritual beliefs so they are really hard to categorize. However, they all had a large number of mythis and deities (gods and goddesses). </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
So if you are attracted to the Celts and to Celtic jewelry like I am, ask your hubby to buy you one of these this Christmas. I plan to ask my husband to do so. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">The CelticTriquetra Knot</span></strong></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Celtic Triqetra Knot has 3 interlocking knots that symbolize life, death, and rebirth. It also symbolizes the progression of the Goddess as virgin, mother, and crone. The Celtric Trigquetra Knot also symbolizes the forces of nature (air, water, and earth). For many cultures and spiritual tradtions (including Christianity) the number 3 is very powerful. </span></span><br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">The Celtic Tree of Life</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">A popular celtic symbol is the tree of life. Indeed, this symbol is filled with spiritual significance. In the Celtic Tree of Life, the roots symolize connection to the other world. (Note, too that the roots--our connection to the other world--are the foundation of the tree). The trunk symbolizes connection to the mortal world. The branches that point to the sky symbolize connection to the Universe. In short, the Celtic Tree of Life represents the entire mortal and otherwordly nature of humans. <br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=mysttour-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B00332FHUK&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Blue Topaz Pendant</strong></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">This one does not have any spiritual significance that I know about. I only chose it because it is beautiful and because the blue topaz stone is December's birthstone. This would be a perfect Christmas gift. It would be even better if your beloved's birthday is also in December (like mine).
