MY EASTER STORY

The celebration of Easter is an opportunity to sort through and choose all those aspects of "The Easter Story" that resonate with you and bring you joy! 

I, personally, recognize that the "stories" of Jesus have been remarkably distorted and mis-used, having been written, translated and re-written by many who were not even present when he walked the earth.  I love the basis of his message, and I think it's a most wonderful story!  For those who were brought up in the "Christian" tradition and exposed to the story of Jesus, Easter can be a glorious time to celebrate the messages that the one called "Jesus" brought to us!

First and foremost, for me, Easter has always been a time of joyously embracing the idea of "eternal life"...that, indeed, there is no such thing as death!  Everything I've read about his life, indicates that this one called Jesus came to know the Truth of who he really was...an extension of the Powerful Pure Positive Energy of Source who had come forth to have a physical human experience.  In his language, we were all "children of God". As he walked this earth, he brought himself into complete Oneness with Source energy and began to teach from that place of alignment.  He knew and demonstrated that the death experience was simply a matter of transitioning back into the Pure Positive Source Energy from which he had emerged. 

I always think of the great Master Jesus as bringing to earth the concept of a Loving, Forgiving God of which we are all a part...another way of saying that we are extensions of Source-level, Pure Positive Energy!  He brought  this ideas of kindness and compassion to a world where humans were throwing people to lions and watching them get eaten...a world in which humans believed in a God that was separate from them...a God who was judgmental and punitive...and to be feared!

And of course, to go along with the idea of a God of Love, Jesus was reported to speak "judge not, lest ye be judged." Clearly, he understood the Universal Law of Attraction. We reap what we sow.
He was asking us to look at life and others through the eyes of Love...through the perspective of Source.  He was asking us to love, no matter the conditions! 

He knew and taught the creative power of thought and belief!  He was one of the first "Power of Positive Thinking" beings. When seemingly miraculous healings occurred, Jesus always declared that it was the person's faith in the Power Within him (God) that healed them...not him.  
Jesus looked at others through the eyes of Source...he did not choose to focus on their sickness but instead, viewed  them as whole and healed and in alignment with their Source.  Jesus allowed himself to become a channel, a vessel for the Power of Well-Being  to flow through him...and in those moments, his vibrational frequency was so high and so powerful that it was able to influence those around him! 

Jesus also reminded us that we all were created in Love, bound together by our shared Source of Pure Love, Pure Joy, Infinite Power and Intelligence...we all come from the same, will return to the same and are never, ever separated or apart from our Creator... "I am in you, you are in me, and we are One in the Father." He did not hold himself separate from the rest of us...he simply had figured it out...he knew who he was...he knew who we were...and he did his best to stay in alignment with who he really was, speaking and acting from that place! 

Despite what everyone else wanted to think and proclaim, he re-iterated over and over again that we, too, were all "children of God".  He was not the only son of God. We are each a wondrous "idea of God"! 
He aligned with Source-level energy and performed what we called "miracles", but he pointed out that, since we were also "creators", we had the same powerful abilities and capacities, and that we would go on, in time, to create even greater things than he!  
Jesus truly was an uplifter, a visionary and came here to inspire and empower others!!!  He came to remind us of what we had forgotten!

The one called Jesus also was a master teacher of worthiness!  As seen through the eyes of our Source, we are assured that we are so very loved, adored, and recognized!
Consider "The Beatitudes":

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Gospel of St. Matthew
 
The one who was called Jesus knew the power of the Universal Law of Attraction:

Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Over 2,000 years ago, we were being guided towards the power of our thoughts, our prayers, and assured that when in alignment with who we really are, we can be, or do, or have anything! 

The one who was called Jesus also reminded us of how we started out and challenged us to return to our original state of being...wide-open, loving, trusting, innocent, fearless, joyful, powerful, creative, imaginative, eager, free, non-judgmental, and filled with faith in the goodness and support of this life:

"Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven." (World English Bible)

As children, we knew how to focus on those things that pleased us.  As children, we simply turned our attention away from what we didn't like.  As children, we spent a great deal of our time imagining and dreaming about wonderful things to come.  As children, we were timeless, living in the present moment, delightfully fearless and unconcerned about the future.  As children, we loved unconditionally.! As children, we remembered our Source and who we really were!

Now, as far as the crucifixtion is concerned, I like to believe that Jesus got a little out-of-whack, and hence, momentarily out of alignment.  I like to believe that since he was here in a physical body, just like the rest of us, he was subject to the same influences we all are...and that somewhere along his journey he decided to push against the earthly powers that be.  I even like to believe that perhaps, he planned to have such a dramatic transitional experience because he intended to demonstrate our capacity to forgive and our eternal nature!

What I choose to remember about the story of his crucifixtion are his final words, which indicate so very powerfully that in the moments right before his physical death...he mostly remembered who he really was...he mostly came back into alignment with his Source (Inner Being)...and blessed us all by saying, "Father, forgive them...for they know not what they do."  Had he been in total and complete alignment, he would have known that there is no reason to ask God's forgiveness...ever!  "Forgiveness" is an idea made up by humans because we are the ones who hold grudges, judge and condemn. 

The crucifixtion set the stage so beautifully for his next performance!  After transitioning back into the Pure Positive Energy that we all come from and are, he chose to quickly come forth, one more time, albeit briefly, and give us his own proof of the existence of eternal life!  Word on the street was that he showed up after his transition into the Nonphysical, once again in a physical body, all healed and whole except for a few scars so that the "doubting Thomases" of the world could see the evidence that it was, indeed, him!  He hosted a wonderful celebratory dinner party ("Last Supper") with his devotees and then re-emerged back into the Non-physical Realm.  Fabulous story, don't you think? 

So, on Easter, I always take a moment to let the one that was called Jesus know how much I appreciate that he walked this earth and brought such a powerful and empowering message to humanity!  And I take time to go on a rampage of appreciation for all those who have walked the earth since and are present right here and now...those who continue to share the divinely-inspired message that each one of us is a magnificent vibrational part of Source energy, who has individually chosen to don a physical body and come to this time/space reality for the purpose of deliberately creating a joyful, expansive, powerful experience that affects and expands all of Creation!  I thank all those spiritual teachers and guides who continue to remind us of who we really are!  And I thank all those who demonstrate the abundance and well-being that is available to each and every one of us!

And I smile as I walk through the woods on this Easter Day, when everything still looks pretty much dead, except for the tiny delicate indicators that Mother Earth is about to explode, blossom, bloom again into breath-taking beauty and life-giving abundance!  I so appreciate how Nature shows us the impossibility of death and endedness as everything recycles, rebirths, renews, transforms and springs forth again!  I honor, with such deep and wordless gratitude in my heart, Nature's demonstration of the resurrection each and every Springtime! 

Easter Blessings,
Carol  :-)

 




  




                       

THE ONLY RELATIONSHIP THAT MATTERS!

The only relationship that matters is your own personal relationship with Source!

Remember, you are, first and foremost, a Magnificent Vibrational Being!

Remember...there actually are TWO OF YOU!  There is the physical you that you are familiar with...the part of you that resides in a physical body with your own unique perspective of life.  There is also the Non-physical You...the vibrational energy part of you that is an extension of Source Energy...the part that some call "Soul", or "Spirit" or "Inner Being."

Most people think that they are either one or the other, but the reality is that the Source Energy you came forth from, the Non-physical part of you, still exists, even while you are here in your body!  It is constantly flowing to you!

It is the relationship between you and YOU that matters!  When the physical you is aligned and in a positive relationship with the Non-physical YOU, you are One with the Power that Creates Worlds!

When we are aligned with our Inner Being...which means we are feeling positive emotions...and we are allowing the Stream of Well-Being and Abundance that is flowing into us every day, all day.  We feel GOOD!  We feel powerful, loving, loveable, loved, free, frisky, content with what is yet eager for more, tuned in and turned on!  (or somewhere in the vicinity of these kinds of states of being)

When we are feeling less than that...not so good...we simply are separating ourselves or pinching ourselves off from that ever-present, life-giving, life-affirming vibrational energy that is our Soul, our Inner Being, our Non-physical Self. This is because, if we are thinking negative, limited thoughts, we are focused in a way that is  very different from our Inner Being. We are holding a perspective that is not in harmony with our Inner Being.
So, instead of being in a state of allowing that wonderful, nourishing Pure Positive Energy to flow into us, we are in a state of resistance and we are vibrating at a very different frequency than that of our Inner Being.

Your Inner Being is calling you "Home" to everything you desire, each and every moment!  You could think of the Non-physical part of you that is Source energy as this massive swirling, spinning, vibrational, magnetic field of Pure Positive energy that contains the power that creates worlds...a magnificent vortex of creation! (This term comes from Abraham and I love the image of Source that it creates!)  It is pure Love, pure Joy, and Infinite Intelligence! It is powerful! This is your vibrational reality...who you really are! This is the realm where you actually reside and come from and this is what you will return to when you experience your transition back into Non-physical...what we call "death".

And, this non-physical vibrational reality precedes all physical manifestation!  It is the powerful creative energy field that contains the vibrational equivalent of each and every desire you have been emanating in your requests to Source. Every preference, every dream, every wish, every prayer for positive improvement in your life, that you have ever thought, even before you came into this physical body, is contained within this vortex of creation that IS SOURCE ENERGY!  Every single bit of the physical reality that you can see, taste, touch, hear and feel, is vibrational energy.  Every single bit of what we call physical reality began as an idea, a thought, a vibration! 

AND...this vibrational reality is always present tense!  Law of Attraction is already amassing all cooperative components to your new request!  What you want is already in the process of becoming a physical reality.  In other words, what is is already old news!  The new and improved condition or situation already exists, just waiting for you to get up to speed with it...waiting for YOU  to be a cooperative component...waiting for you to align your frequency with what it is you desire!

What does this mean?  It means that every time you experience something that you know you don't want, you immediately know what you DO want and a vibrational request goes out (emanates from you) to Source!  You don't have to ask in words because you are always  communicating vibrationally! And the Source receives your vibrational request and immediately responds! 

So, when your experience is one of not having enough money, for example, you know what you don't want (lack of money) and you know what you DO want (more money)!  And if you would relax, chill out, open, trust, have faith, feel hopeful and hold a positive expectation that your request has been received and answered and is already on its way to you, evidence of more money would begin to manifest in your experience!

However, we all suffer from "what-is-itis"!  That is, our awareness of what is current in our physical experience dominates our attention....we stay focused on the balance in our checkbook, the bills that are piling up, the fact that we've never seemed to have enough money, the unfairness that others seem to have more than their fair share of money, and we can't imagine where the money is going to come from, or how, or when!  So, we're feeling mostly frustrated, worried, and fretful...no where near the pure positive frequency of our Inner Being.  So, even if the money or opportunity to create more money showed up in our experience, we wouldn't be able to see it!  All we're seeing is "lack".  We are pinching ourselves off from the vibrational reality of our Source!

So, as you ponder all this, you will begin to realize why our beliefs and expectations are so very important to the creative process! 

The Law of Attraction is always busy giving us more of what we are focused upon!  So, if we do not believe in the power and love of our Inner Being...if we do not believe that our request has already been answered...

...if we, therefore, do not expect to see evidence of what we have asked for begin to show up...then, we are still focused on what we don't want and we are not vibrating on the frequency that is aligned with our Inner Being and hence, we are unable to see what is flowing into our experience.  We simply aren't tapped in, tuned in or turned on!

This is why it is so empowering to wake up each morning and say:

Today, no matter where I am, what I'm doing or who I'm with, I'm going to look for things that make me feel good! 

I'm going to look for evidence that my heart's desire is being fulfilled! 

I'm going to practice focusing on things that make me happy!

I'm going to practice imagining and feeling what I am wanting! 

I'm choosing to believe that all is unfolding perfectly. 

I'm going to chill out, relax and trust in the Goodness, the Love, the Intelligent Knowing, the Power of my Source!...or some version of this!

Now, you are in alignment with your Inner Being.
Now, you are a cooperative component to all that you desire.
Now, you will experience the profound satisfaction of deliberately creating
                                                                   your own desired experience!
                                                                           
Now, you're having a love affair with your Inner Being...the
                                                                                  only
                                                                                      relationship
                                                                                          that matters!
Blessings of Alignment!

FEELING GOOD TAKE PRACTICE!

A dear friend sent me the following email which inspired this post:


"I am continually amazed, horrified, surprised, chagrined...you name it...at how practiced I am at negative, limiting thinking!!! We all are! It's a habit that really, really doesn't serve us anymore. It's particularly triggered when we're anxious or afraid because, after all, we are born problem solvers and it just makes sense to try very hard to anticipate anything else that could go wrong, when we're already feeling vulnerable...it's protective...so we think!"

Staying aware of what we're thinking is almost impossible, largely due to the role of the unconscious mind. However, it is quite easy to stay aware of how you are FEELING...easy as asking yourself, "how am I feeling right now...right now...right now?" THEN, we can either milk the GOOD FEELING and bask in the deliciousness of feeling good or if we're OFF in any way...THAT's when turning our attention to whatever it is we are focused on or thinking about helps. It helps cuz, one, it really brings home the connection between our thoughts and feelings....and two, we then have a choice to either find a better-feeling thought about what we're focused on...OR...change our focus altogether in order to feel better.

Also, we're more accustomed to caring more about what we think than about what we are feeling! Even our "feeling" vocabulary is kinda sparse!  I've found it simpler to check in with myself and ask..."feels good" or "not so good".  If I become aware that I'm feeling "not so good", then I can pay attention to what is it I'm focused upon, what I'm thinking about what I'm focused upon, and reach for a better-feeling perspective.


The hardest thing to overcome (myself included always) is to remember that we are worthy of being happy...that we deserve to feel good...that we were born that way: worthy and knowing that feeling good was what it was all about...babies and small children get this. That's why it's about remembering. We already know, but in our years travelling on our physical trail...being influenced by others who were totally disconnected themselves...taking the path of least resistance which guaranteed our survival...we managed to disconnect from our own guidance system (feelings) and our own knowing (Inner Being).

Seriously, I don't ever remember anyone telling me that I was supposed to be happy...that it was okay for me to care about my own happiness! NOW it's what matters the most...and WITH PRACTICE, I'm getting better each and every day at pivoting...at recognizing what I'm feeling/thinking and shifting my focus or finding a better-feeling way to look at what's right in front of me!"

Feeling good really does take practice!

Caring about yourself enough to recognize that you are worthy of feeling good, deserve to feel good and want to feel good...THIS takes practice!

Hang out with children and let them be your master teachers at all this!
   (young children...up to age 5)

We arrived here on planet earth, in this time/space reality
    totally turned on, tuned in and eager for more!

I know this is what the great master teacher, Jesus, meant when he said, "Except you become as a little child, you cannot know the kingdom of heaven."  He was calling us to remember that we knew...we forgot...and now we must remember again! 

Blessings each and every moment!

FAITH BECOMES KNOWING

Usually, when we talk about faith, we're referring to faith in a religious sense like God or some Higher Power, faith in a particular person, or faith
in something happening.  So, in the old paradigm of thinking, "faith" is believing in something not yet seen...something for which we have no evidence. It's as if we come up with an idea that feels good, about something or someone...then choose to believe it and then hope for evidence. So faith can serve us simply as a belief in something/anything... that makes us feel good!


Instead of asking yourself to believe in something not yet seen, I'm inviting you to try "seeing" with your emotions!  If you go very general and choose to have faith in your own Goodness and in the Positive Potentiality of Life! 


It feels so delicious, wonderful, and empowering to have faith in your own Goodness and in the inherent positive capacity of Life!  It feels soothing and restful and filled with ease. You are Good and Life is Good.  Then, you get to watch everything will fill in with specifics just for you.  The Universe, through the Law of Attraction, will bring you an abundance of evidence of your goodness, your worthiness, your pure positive potential! As a result, your FEELINGs of GOODNESS will deepen and expand.  These good feelings will broaden to include others as you recognize their Goodness and their Potential.







I have great faith in the goodness of Life!  It makes me happy to trust that life is supposed to feel good, even when it doesn't.  It makes me happy to have faith that there is meaning in things that happen...a bigger context into which I can put certain situations or circumstances...so that no matter what is going on, I can relax and trust in the goodness of life, even when it is not apparent.



I enjoy seeing the glass as half-full if it is something yummy and half-empty if it is yucky-tasting medicine.  I love being optimistic and looking for the brighter side of things, turning the prism of my mind, choosing a perspective that makes me feel good!  In short, I've grown to LOVE FEELING GOOD!



Before I knew what I now know...when I couldn't begin to understand why terrible things were happening to others or myself, it always felt better to have faith that there was a reason...and a good one, at that! Often I didn't know what that reason was, but I had faith that things were always unfolding in a way that created an opportunity for me to grow and become more than I thought I was...I was not a victim.  I learned to ask, "Why is this happening FOR me? instead of "Why is this happening to me?"


When we have faith in our own Goodness and in the Potential of Life, we can choose to trust that the answer to our questions and wonderings is being offered and we can allow for the possibility that we  just can't see, or hear, or intuit it...yet.  


Maybe we aren't ready and up to speed vibrationally for the answer (still feeling badly about what was happening or happened)...or maybe it isn't yet time for us to know.  It becomes an opportunity to deepen our faith!



Sometimes we can't receive the "answer" because we are busy focusing on the "problem" or the "question".  Focusing on the problem or question has a very different and much lower frequency than the vibration created by focusing on the "solution" or the "answer".  My favorite and most simple example of this is when we lose something, like our glasses, and, convinced they are "lost", we search high and low and still can't find them.  It's not until we stop focusing on the idea that we have lost our glasses that they show up, often in a place where we had already looked, several times!  As long as we were believing that they were lost, we couldn't "see" them!



Choosing to have faith in the ultimate Goodness of Your Self and Life takes you to a really good-feeling place...one of comfort and a peaceful ease and flow. It's the kind of faith that is the emotional basis of feeling worthy, capable, confident, competent.  Faith in your own Goodness and Potential becomes thrilling because you get to watch the convergence of people, places, situations and, as the Universe orchestrates your rendezvous with things that match those good-feeling vibrations that you've got going! 


What do you have faith in?  It's worth pondering.
  

What we believe forms the basis of all our thinking and therefore, of our vibration!   Our emotions are the feeling response we are having to the thoughts we are thinking.  When we have faith in good things, when we believe in goodness, we can feel good even when the evidence hasn't shown up yet!  And we get to watch as Universal Law of Attraction brings us experiences that match the vibration of what we have faith in, what we believe in...all the time...no exceptions!



It feels indescribably delicious to have Faith in yourself and in your connection to your Inner Being, your Soul, your Source! 


Faith becomes Knowing - Knowing the Goodness, the Power, the Love of your own Inner Being that is You! 



Having Faith is a gift of Love that you courageously give to yourself!    And...no one can take it away from you!


 

YOU ARE A MAGNIFICENT VIBRATIONAL BEING!

YOU ARE A PHYSICAL EXTENSION of SOURCE-LEVEL ENERGY!

YOU ARE LOVE!

YOU ARE JOY EXPRESSING ITSELF!

YOU ARE FREE! ...so free that you can choose to believe anything you want!
                      ...so free that you can choose to have faith in anything you want!






blessings abound,
Carol  :-)
                                            




 

HAPPY SPRINGTIME!

"The Blossoming"...a poem


Consider the sweetness with which the Springtime comes
Ever so gently, with an endless patient strength,
Awaiting the warmth and Light of the Sun.
Contained within itself
All that is needed
To bring forth all the loveliness.
The bulb rests in the cold, dark, hardened soil,
Open, allowing the warmth to penetrate
Stirring the juices of aliveness,
What appears as a pushing, an efforting to become
Is but the sweetest allowing...
A surrender into being the blossom that it is,
Letting itself be pulled to the surface,
Wooed by the Light,
Reaching, stretching, giving in to the changing of its form,
Softening, opening, growing, expanding,
Not knowing what it is becoming,
Yet trusting in that which is drawing it upward, outward
Until, in perfect time, a grand explosion into Being!        
A daffodil!


Consider the sweetness with which your Inner Being moves,
Ever so gently, with an endless patient strength,
Awaiting your tender "yes",
Your relaxing and opening to its magnificence.
Contained within Itself
All that is needed
To bring forth the Loveliness that is You!
Resting deep within you
The very warmth and Light of Love,
The very Source of nourishment and sustenance ,
Abiding quietly within,
Ever-so-gently inviting, coaxing, wooing
The Pure Positive Energy of your "bulb-ness"
To open and soften.
To allow it's Light and warmth to stir your juices
Reaching, stretching, growing, expanding,
Not yet knowing what you are becoming,
Yet trusting in That Which is drawing you upward and outward
Until, in perfect time, a grand explosion into Being!
An Inner Blossoming of your own "daffodil-ness"!
Oh Joy!


Transformational Blessings!

THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL!

This song, "The Greatest Love of All"...a most beautiful gift!

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

I[Chorus:]
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love!



Love is who and what you are!


When you are being who and what you are, you are vibrating at the a deliciously high frequency...If it seems difficult to achieve, instead of "easy", it's only because we are more practiced at being critical and hard on ourselves, or feeling unworthy, or guilty, or some other silly idea we've gotten stuck on.



So, when you become aware that you are not being loving or kind or tender to yourself, celebrate that you are aware of how you are being, and then ask yourself, "What would Love or Kindness or Tenderness say to me?"..."What would Love do?"

                       and you'll always know...

Once you ask...you'll always know!
  

Blessings,
Carol  :-)

MIND/BODY CONNECTION

Your "vibrational response"...what you're thinking and most importantly, feeling about your current physical condition is the essence of your own self-healing power! 

Imagine that you are going for a routine check-up at the doctor's office.  You know that you are going to have your blood pressure taken.  You are anxious about this because of many of the collective beliefs held and strongly transmitted by the media, as well as beliefs you've picked up along the way...
 
Perhaps, someone, a friend or a relative already has high blood pressure.
Perhaps you believe in the theory that it's all in the genes.
Perhaps you are of the "age" when high blood pressure is believed to be a common occurrence. 
Perhaps you are thinking of the things you are presently doing (diet, lack of exercise, etc.) that we've been taught to believe inevitably cause high blood pressure. 
Or, perhaps you view yourself as healthy but know that the purpose of the examination is to find out if anything is wrong with you, and since you believe that what they are looking for, they will find...you're anxious!

So, now, you are told that your blood pressure is high! Further, now that our blood pressure tested high, you are told to monitor your blood pressure by taking it regularly. Now, you are very focused on your blood pressure and  having anxious, fearful, frustrated feelings about your body! Since you get what you think about or focus upon, you are now attracting experiences which reflect the negative feelings you are emanating...more evidence of high blood pressure!

When you really understand that you are first and foremost a Vibrational Being...

and when you really understand that your thoughts and the feelings you are having about what it is you are focused upon determine the vibrational frequency that you are emitting...

and when you realize that the Universal Law of Attraction is bringing to you experiences that match your dominant vibrational frequency...

and when your dominant intention is to tune your vibrational frequency to that of the Source Within you (Love, Joy, Limitlessness, Peace, etc.) ...

and when you understand and decide that nothing is more important than feeling good and focusing on good-feeling thoughts...

YOU will provide the perfect basis for your cells to thrive!

However, we've been well-trained to rely on solutions outside of ourselves.  We've been well-trained to notice the symptoms, analyze our physical condition, and then look to someone else to prescribe a medicine to take.  This is the medical model that we are most familiar with. Now, let's be clear...I am NOT saying there is anything wrong with that model...especially when you whole-heartedly believe that the prescribed medicine, no matter what form it takes, will help you move in the direction of well-being! 

What I AM saying is that YOU have a much bigger part to play in your own health and well-being than you may know!  There is so much available knowledge about the mind-body connection, biofeedback technology, the power of positive thinking and the wonderful ideas of holistic medicine that encourage treating and empowering the person who has the disease instead of merely treating the disease that has the person.

However, we all have a habit of thinking that our well-being depends on something external to ourselves...and so we manifest evidence that this is true!  Our anxiety about our physical condition is heightened further by the numerous and unpredictable side-effects of the prescribed medicine as well as our beliefs in the inevitability of sickness and our need for health insurance.  We've been well-trained to feel powerless and afraid when it comes to our very own personal relationship with the well-being our physical body! 

It's so important to understand that: 
...when you are in alignment and in communication with your Inner Being, with Source Energy,
...when you keep your focus on that which makes you feel good,
hopeful, empowered,
...the cells of your physical body know exactly what to do in order to maintain or re-establish balance.

We call it miraculous, but if we are not getting in the way...not indulging in negative, resistant emotional energy which pinches us off...this magnificent, powerful, life-giving Stream of Well-Being is flowing into us every single minute, with every single breath we take!  The intelligence contained within our cells is limitless!

You could think of dis-ease (lack of ease) as an "indicator" that we are experiencing enough vibrational discord (negative feelings in some areas of our life, and have been for quite some time), for it to show up (manifest in form) as imbalance in our physical body.  Even worrying and fretting and trying to control different aspects of our lives creates a kind of chronic vibrational discord that greatly weakens our immune system.

The Non-physical Source Energy within us...our Inner Being... is not worried or fretting!   It knows that ALL IS WELL! 

And even though doctors prescribe medicine that cures one ailment in a patient, unless the vibrational relationship between the physical Being (patient) and Source Energy is considered...and the resistance/negativity that disallowed the flow of Well-being to begin with is not released, it will show up in the form of another disease! 

So...consider this:  If you aren't busy thinking negative/resistant/limiting/ thoughts, because of their connection to the intelligence of Source Energy (the Energy that Creates Worlds!), your cells are receiving up-to-the-minute guidance about keeping your physical body healthy!

So, no matter what physical condition/ailment you have,
                                 conduct your own experiment in healing yourself! 

Pay attention to what you are thinking about your situation...your own opinions, beliefs, expectations, etc. 

Pay attention to how your thoughts about your situation make you feel!

Reach for a better-feeling way to view your situation...

Change your thoughts (frequency)...and watch what happens!

Blessings of Well-being and Abundance,
