The energy I am channeling
has evolved and is now a high dimensional -
multidimensional energy. It is much more powerful than what is
traditionally
experienced on this planet
as Reiki energy. It is energy of a fifth
dimension
frequency and above and
it's affects on those who receive and experience
it
are utterly amazing!
I limit the number of
people in these monthly groups so the energy doesn't
get too "hot" during the
healing session. Don't get shut out!
~ THE LAW OF
THE SEED
(Author Unknown)
Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on the tree,
(Author Unknown)
Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on the tree,
but each apple has ten seeds. That's a lot of
seeds!
We might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more apple trees?"
Nature has something to teach us here. It's telling us: "Not all seeds grow. In life, most
seeds never grow. So if you really want to make
something happen, you had better
try more than once."
This might mean:
You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job. You'll interview forty people to find one
good employee. You'll talk to fifty people to sell
one house, one car, one vacuum
cleaner, one insurance policy, or a business idea.
And you might meet a hundred
acquaintances just to find one special friend .
When we understand the "Law of the Seed", we don't get so disappointed. We stop
feeling like victims. We learn how to deal with
things that happen to us.
Laws of nature are not things to take personally.
We just need to understand them -
and work with them. IN A NUTSHELL:
Successful people fail more often. But they plant more seeds.
Successful people fail more often. But they plant more seeds.
When Things Are Beyond your control, here's something that you must NOT DO
so as to be happy: You must not decide how you
think the world SHOULD be.
You must not make rules for how everyone SHOULD
behave. Many times, such
thoughts can bring you spiraling down into more
unhappiness.
On the other hand, let's say you expect
that:
Friends SHOULD return favors.
People SHOULD appreciate you.
Planes SHOULD arrive on time.
Everyone SHOULD be honest.
Your husband or best friend SHOULD remember your birthday.
These expectations may sound reasonable. But often, these things won't happen!
Friends SHOULD return favors.
People SHOULD appreciate you.
Planes SHOULD arrive on time.
Everyone SHOULD be honest.
Your husband or best friend SHOULD remember your birthday.
These expectations may sound reasonable. But often, these things won't happen!
So you end up frustrated and disappointed. There's
a better strategy. Demand less,
and instead, have preferences! For things that are
beyond your control, tell yourself:
"I WOULD PREFER "A", BUT IF "B" HAPPENS, IT'S OK TOO!"
"I WOULD PREFER "A", BUT IF "B" HAPPENS, IT'S OK TOO!"
You prefer tha t people are polite... but when they are rude, it doesn't ruin your day.
You prefer sunshine.. but if it rains, it is ok too!
To become happier, we either need to:
a) Change the world, or
b) Change our thinking.
It is easier to change our Thinking!
IN A NUTSHELL:
It is not the problem that is the issue, but rather it is your attitude attending to
the problem that is the problem. It's not what
happens to you that determine your
happiness but rather how you think about what
happens to you!
Quotes That
Fit
When you are thwarted, it is your own attitude that is out of
order. ~ Meister Eckhart
A happy person is not a person
in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person
with a certain set of
attitudes. ~ Hugh Downs
What needs fixing? Truth is,
there is nothing to fix but your own perception ~*~ me

~ Random Acts in 2010.. of the Kind
Variety
"The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention."
- Unknown
A number of years ago it became popular to talk about and practice
"random acts of kindness". That is still an excellent focus of
attention. It is especially true if you are someone who is caught
up in your own world so much that you seldom see the opportunities
that exist around you for lending just a little touch of kindness.
Your actions can be so simple; give the cashier eye-contact and
genuinely say thank you, hold the door open for the elderly person
with a cane, carry something for someone whose hands are full or
thank the people you live with for doing their share of the
mechanics of living.
Think back to a random act of kindness someone did for you and how
good it felt. If you are someone who prides yourself on being
self-sufficient, the next time someone offers you a random act of
kindness, receive it. You will be giving both of you a gift.
Notice all the times you have opportunities to bestow a kind act on
someone and listen to the reasons you don't do it. Some of the
most common excuses are being too busy, not wanting to interfere or
be intrusive, or not knowing what to say or do. There are no right
or wrong ways to be kind. Dare to push your limits a bit and take
the first step.
Today practice a random act of kindness and tell no one about it.
"Character building begins in our infancy and continues until
death."
- Eleanor Roosevelt
Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation
that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT! No matter how
large or small, please record it. It will only take a few moments
and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.

~ Fill Another's Bucket & You'll Fill
Your own!
Are You a Bucket Filler or A
Dipper?
(Author Unknown)
You have heard of the cup that overflowed. This is a story of a bucket that
You have heard of the cup that overflowed. This is a story of a bucket that
is like the cup, only larger, it is an invisible bucket. Everyone has one. It
determines how we feel about ourselves, about
others, and how we get
along with people. Have you ever experienced a
series of very favorable
things which made you want to be good to people for
a week? At that time,
your bucket was full.
A bucket can be filled by a lot of things that happen. When a person speaks
to you, recognizing you as a human being, your
bucket is filled a little. Even
more if he calls you by name, especially if it is
the name you like to be called.
If he compliments you on your dress or on a job
well done, the level in your
bucket goes up still higher. There must be a
million ways to raise the level in
another's bucket. Writing a friendly letter,
remembering something that is
special to him, knowing the names of his children,
expressing sympathy for
his loss, giving him a hand when his work is heavy,
taking time for conversation,
or, perhaps more important, listening to him.
When one's bucket is full of this emotional
support, one can express warmth
and friendliness to people. But, remember, this is
a theory about a bucket and
a dipper. Other people have dippers and they can
get their dippers in your bucket.
This, too, can be done in a million ways.
Let's say I am at a dinner and inadvertently upset a glass of thick, sticky chocolate
milk that spills over the table cloth, on a lady's
skirt, down onto the carpet. I am
embarrassed. "Bright Eyes" across the table says,
"You upset that glass of
chocolate milk." I made a mistake, I know I did,
and then he told me about it! He got
his dipper in my bucket! Think of the times a
person makes a mistake, feels terrible
about it, only to have someone tell him about the
known mistake ("Red pencil"
mentality!)
Buckets are filled and buckets are emptied! Emptied many times because people
don't really think about what are doing. When a
person's bucket is emptied, he is
very different than when it is full. You say to a
person whose bucket is empty,
"That is a pretty tie you have," and he may reply
in a very irritated, defensive
manner.
Although there is a limit to such an analogy, there are people who seem to have
holes in their buckets. When a person has a hole in
his bucket, he irritates lots
of people by trying to get his dipper in their
buckets. This is when he really needs
somebody to pour it in his bucket because he keeps
losing.
The story of our lives is the interplay of the bucket and the dipper. Everyone
has both. The unyielding secret of the bucket and the dipper is that when
you
fill another's bucket it does not take anything out of your own bucket. The
level
in our own bucket gets higher when we fill another's, and, on the other
hand,
when we dip into another's bucket we do not fill our own ... we lose a
little.
For a variety of reasons, people hesitate filling the bucket of another and
For a variety of reasons, people hesitate filling the bucket of another and
consequently do not experience the fun, joy, happiness, fulfillment, and
satisfaction connected with making another person happy. Some reasons for
this hesitancy are that people think it sounds "fakey," or the other person
will
be suspicious of the motive, or it is "brown-nosing."
Therefore, let us put aside our dipper and resolve to touch someone's life in
order to fill their bucket.
That's a wrap for this
week's Energy Currents! Lots of valuable teaching in
here,
please take some time to
absorb them and then put them to practice as you go through
your week! And then watch
your life transform!
In Appreciation, Prosperity
and Joy!
