Unfinished Lessons

By Colleen Lilly On October 29, 2008 No Comments

A lesson we are all familiar with.

The lesson of repetition.

Today is a poem on this life lesson.

How we repeat habits, relationships and situations
over and over again.

Fortunately, we do have programs available to us
to put a halt to these repetitve lessons.

Some of these programs include EFT, The Sedona Method,
Matrix Energetics, Psyche-K to name a few.

I encourage you to look at the lessons you are repeating
and examine them. Ask yourself why and take action to make
changes.

Check out any of the programs I have mentioned and
begin anew.

==========

Have you noticed how we repeat
lessons that are left unfinished?

We marry the same person again,
we work for the same boss over and over,
we move into the same environment time and again,
we suffer the same illness repeatedly.

Although the names and places have changed,
the hidden messages of the lessons left unfinished
come again and again.

There is no escape from these cycles
of growth that revisit our daily lives
disguised behind different masks.

We may not even recognize them,
as once again we escape the frustrations
they cause by denying them.

Let us face our fears,
and by so doing move through them
to the light that lies beyond,
released at last of the heavy load
holding on engenders.

Put On Your Gratitude Glasses

By Colleen Lilly On October 28, 2008 No Comments

Lori Radun has written a thought provoking article on the gift of gratitude!

What would our lives be like if we had ‘gratitude glasses’ on?

If our world was always rosy and we perceived ‘bad’ or ‘unhappy’ circumstances in a new light?

Our personal vibration would be higher and we would no doubt be happier!

Try on some gratitude glasses.

I love this article!!

Seeing Life through Gratitude Glasses

By Lori Radun

Your boss calls you in his office today and hands you a $2,500.00 bonus check because the company had a good year. Are you thankful?

You go in for your 20-week ultrasound. As you watch your growing baby on the screen, the doctor informs you that everything looks great. Your baby boy is healthy. Are you thankful?

Your husband comes home with a dozen roses. He remembered your anniversary! Are you thankful?

Of course you are. It’s easy to be thankful when everything is going great. When we’re on top of the mountain, and we’re having a beautiful day and our blessings are easy to see, we are thankful. And we should be.

New Glasses

As you sit across from your attorney, he informs you that bankruptcy is your only recourse. Your dream and your business are going down the tubes. Are you thankful?

You and your husband have been going through a rough time in your marriage for over two years. You barely speak to one another anymore. Are you thankful?

If you answered yes to these last two scenarios, you are way ahead of most people. It is not easy to be thankful when we’re sitting in the valley. When life seems to be handing us a bunch of lemons, we usually feel bitter or victimized.

Let’s assume there is a new product out on the market. You can pick up a pair of “gratitude glasses” at Target for $19.99. These glasses enable you to see life in a whole different way. Here are some of the benefits you can expect from these “gratitude glasses”:

* There are no problems.

With these glasses, you have no problems in your life. Everything in your life is an opportunity. When we perceive life through our fears, unpaid bills and conflict, for instance, become problems or challenges. However, these glasses enable us to see life with loving eyes. The unpaid bills are an opportunity to learn more about financial responsibility. Conflict is an opportunity to learn how to love more deeply.

* There are no mistakes.

With the gratitude glasses, mistakes disappear. These glasses help us understand that we are doing the best we can at any given moment, and so is everyone else. We all make decisions based on who we are at the time. Instead of viewing choices as “mistakes,” why not look at them as an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and other people?

* There are no annoying people.

Put on the gratitude glasses and suddenly all the annoying people in your life become your friends. You’ve heard the saying, “Mean people need love.” Your new glasses now give you the ability to release your anger and understand the annoying people on a much deeper level. You begin to appreciate your differences and the judgments disappear. Your love begins to transform not only you, but others as well.

* Change is good.

You pick up your gratitude glasses and put them on, and suddenly you embrace change. You are thankful that life does not always happen as planned. You stop trying to control life, and instead let life unfold. Change is exciting, fear of the unknown is gone, and you can’t wait to see what happens next. Your faith is strong and unstoppable.

* Pain has a purpose.

Whether it is physical or emotional pain, it’s hard to go through life without experiencing it. But with your gratitude glasses, you see that your pain has a purpose. Your physical pain tells you that something in your mind or body is not working well. Your emotional pain is a wake-up call to the transformation that is possible. Without the valleys, we cannot appreciate the mountain tops.

These inexpensive “gratitude glasses” offer so many more benefits, but what if you only received these five advantages? Would you purchase the glasses? Would you wear your gratitude glasses all the time? What if I told you the glasses were yours for free? All you have to do is shift your energy by changing your thoughts.

When we allow ourselves to wallow in victim and fighting thoughts, our brains release catabolic hormones that are destructive to our entire physical system, and ultimately, our success. By wearing your “gratitude glasses,” you shift your thoughts to positive and constructive ones. Thinking thoughts of thankfulness and love makes an energetic shift in your mind and body, and the results will be astonishing.

A life coach just gave you a different way to look at life. Are you thankful?

Holographic Healing Reviewed

By Colleen Lilly On October 27, 2008 No Comments

Sunday night I had my first experience with holographic healing.

The teleconference was 70 minutes in length and held 130 people.

Reggi Shelley, a certified Matrix Energetics practitioner offered the holographic healing session.

Reggi started out explaining what would happen. She said she would pay attention to the energy of the group. Whatever shows up for her is the direction she will go.

The direction she goes is not always where she expects to go. She listens to her guidance.

morning-meditation.jpg

Reggi advised the energy of the group was taking her in a spiritual space. A sacret energy.

Reggi made a conscious connection with each of us. Creating a oneness and eliminating the distance between the callers.

She then said she entered into the hologram with each of us. Now I confess I do not know what this entails. I imagine she was holding a ball of energy in her hand and entered this space. Only Reggi knows.

We were released of Karma, past life issues and contracts.

Next came the healing of physical issues consisting of hips, heart, shoulders, brain, etc.

Finally we were given the energy to handle all the high vibrations entering the planet.

The session took 70 minutes and it felt like 20 minutes! I am amazed at how fast time flew. Wow.

As Reggi closed out the teleconference she noted the sacred energy and stillness of the group. Yes, I could really feel it. So much so that I did not move for another 30 minutes.

The sacred energy was very peaceful and warm. I did not want to miss a moment of it. Finally I did get myself to bed and stayed in this space as I slept.

I woke this morning to more peacefulness. I still feel peaceful and am grateful for the holographic healing.

While I do not know how holographic healing works, I equate it to prayer and electricity. It works, but I cannot explain it!

I am still feeling the affects of the session and look forward to another session next month with Reggi.

In the meantime, I have signed up for a Matrix Energetic 1-on-1 session with Reggi this week. Can hardly wait!

Talk to you soon about this upcoming session!

God Bless ~

The Winds Of Change

By Colleen Lilly On October 27, 2008 No Comments

The winds of change.

Here is a picture of a beautiful sugar maple tree in my neighborhood.

The winds of change blew in this weekend.

winds-of-change-003.jpg

Here is the same tree on Monday morning after weekend winds of 40-50 mph.

The winds of change.

We are stripped of our ‘leaves’ and left naked.

winds-of-change-004.jpg

The Fall season brings on change in more ways than we know.

We are stripped of the blooming Spring and Summer seasons and left with the bareness of Fall.

In one short weekend, this tree went from full Fall bloom in its magnificent color to a handful of leaves on the gangly branches.

We are left with contemplation of where we have been and where we are going.

From whence we have come as to wither we go.

May you enjoy this season of change.

May you embrace the changes in your life.

Make change easy, do not resist it.

Blessings to you ~

How To Achieve The Law of Attraction

By Colleen Lilly On October 27, 2008 No Comments

Kate Nowak has written a thought provoking article on the manifesting money or abundance into your life.

She outlines some thought consciousness changes in bringing money to you.

Assume you have already won the lottery or a financial windfall. See, believe it and live it as though it to be true.

Give thanks for all you do have and will have.

I really like the simple exercises Kate outlines here. I always believe simple is best. Keep it simple!!

===========

By Kate Nowak

Though the words “Creating a More Prosperous World Through The Practice of Blessing” are written on the masthead of the Prosperity Experiment website, the truth is that creation is already finished. There is nothing left to create — not even prosperity. There is nothing left to create because everything in time and space already coexists in the present moment. It’s been done already. All that you have ever been or ever will be, already is. It exists now.

When you get right down to it, creativeness is really nothing more than becoming aware of what already is. To become more prosperous you simply become more aware of what, in a pre-physical state, is already all around you. By understanding that; by grasping that, as Neville Goddard states: “The whole of creation exists in you, and it is your destiny to become increasingly aware of its infinite wonders and to experience ever greater and grander portions of it,” you step from unawareness into awareness and as you do, you change your world.

Of course, the father struggling to feed his family of five is not going to be impressed with the news that all he could ever want or need is available to him right now, though he can only see a very scant and limited portion of it. He wants to know how to get the greater and grander portion; how to change it from pre-physical to physical, not in some future time but right now, while his children’s hunger is keen.

So how does that father go about experiencing the abundance already all around him? More importantly, how do you go about physically experiencing the abundance all around you? The answer is found in the way you look at yourself. Your concept of who you are determines what you see, what you do and what you experience in your world.

money-4.jpg

As a way of better understanding how important your assumption of you is to your world, spend some time with this visualization: Imagine for a moment that you’ve discovered that you are in possession of the only winning lottery ticket for a multi-million dollar lottery. (If you have an issue with gambling, simply change this scenario to one of envisioning a massive and unexpected windfall of some other kind, a gift or inheritance, perhaps.) Really imagine it, getting into it, imagining the joy you would feel were you to realize you were the recipient of a massive windfall.

Once you’ve got that thought securely in your mind and are enjoying it, then further imagine that as the solitary winner, you have opted to put the ticket in a safe place and refrain from stepping forward to claim your prize for a month or two. That will give you time to consult tax attorneys and financial advisors, change your phone number and mailing address, and take whatever other steps are necessary to insure your privacy is secured and the money can be managed in the best possible way.

Now consider that is such a scenario, even though you wouldn’t actually have immediate access to the money, as the single winning ticket holder, you would know full-well that belongs to you. It’s yours. No one can take it from you. As a lottery winner, you are a multi-millionaire right now, even though your bank balance for the time being has not changed one iota; even though you have nothing to show for your monetary gain. Nothing, not even the absence of the money in your bank account at this very moment can keep that truth from you. In other words, even though you have not yet received the actual money in hand, you have assumed the thinking of someone who is already wealthy. And that assumption alone will change you.

In such a situation as I’ve just described, where do you think most of your attention would be? Would it be centered on lack and limitation? Of course not. Your attention will always gravitate toward your dominant thoughts and, in this scensario, it would most certainly gravitate toward thoughts, feelings and emotions that reflect great wealth, abundant supply and seemingly limitless prosperity. And simply because you are correctly assuming the money will be waiting for you when you are ready to step forward and accept it, your attention will keep you on that prosperous mental pathway. The same thing happens whenever we make the correct assumption that even though we may not see our good, anything and everything we could ever need or use is already at our disposal and is only awaiting our acceptance.

As Neville Goddard also explained: “The assumption of the wish fulfilled is the ship that carries you over the unknown seas to the fulfillment of your dream. The assumption is everything; realization is subconscious and effortless.”

Here’s a little “experiment within the experiment” I heartily recommend. Every evening as you write out your list of eleven things to be grateful for, instead of writing about those things you already know you physically have, begin expressing gratitude for eleven things you desire and have asked for, but have not yet received. As you give thanks for what is yet to come assume that it has already arrived.

st-maarten.jpg

Make certain the list of the eleven things contains those desires you are most passionate about having; those desires that burn brightest in your heart. Think of them as being already present in your life and then spend time expressing your thankfulness for each one separately. But don’t just write the words the way a less-than-interested student might complete a dreaded assignment. But really, truly, emotionally experience your expression of gratitude, allowing it seep into every pore, sinking deep down inside of you, and radiating outward from the core of your being until you are a pulsating, vibrating beacon of gratitude.

Emotionally invest yourself in being grateful for what already have, even if you don’t see it yet. And as you write and think of all you’re grateful for, let your gratitude grow like the radiating light it is. For instance, if it is a successful, prospering business you want, then begin giving thanks for it now, but just don’t limit yourself to statements like “I am grateful for my successful business.” Go beyond that. Express thanks for the supportive friends you have who stand by you and encourage you as you grow your business.

Give thanks for an ever increasing income, the new larger office spaces your success affords, the expanding number of customers or clientele who support your business, tell their friends about it and help it grow.

The manifestation process is magical, indeed, but it is not magic. It is, instead, designed to work flawlessly with universal laws and the orderly workings of the physical world. More often than not, we do not leap into our dreams, but grow gently into them, and the way we do so is by whispering into our thoughts and expressions of gratitude the assumption that what we want has already come.

It is only when we assume we are blessed and press forward to give thanks for the blessings, that we finally are we able to open our eyes to the blessings all around us. It is only then that we can see they have been there all the time.

What is Holographic Healing?

By Colleen Lilly On October 26, 2008 No Comments

Tonight I get my truly first touch and go with Holographic healing.

I signed up for a a 1 hour telephone healing session with Reggi Shelley. Reggi is a certified matrix energetics practitioner who travels with Dr Richard Bartlett to ME seminars. Reggie assists Dr Bartlett in teaching matrix energetics.

I do not understand the label holographic healing. I like many on the call will be experimenting with the concept of holographic or holograph healing.

I imagine Reggie will take all our ‘prayers’ and ‘wishes’ and put them in a self made hologram or bubble to be dispersed and touched by the holy spirit. Or in matrix terms, send the hologram into the matrix for transformation.

This is my expectation tonight.

More details and follow up after my first holograph healing.

Best Ways To Stop Smoking

By Colleen Lilly On October 23, 2008 2 Comments

Quitting smoking is one of the hardest things you might ever have to do. Once you become addicted to smoking, quitting can be a monumental task, and one that takes much time, effort, and determination. It can be one of the best things you ever do for yourself, and something you should strongly consider, but, you are the only one that commit to doing this—it’s not something that someone else can make you do.

You probably already know all of the many reasons that you need to quit smoking. Surely you don’t need reminders about the health and financial benefits to quitting. You already know that if you quit smoking, you will be able to improve and repair your health, including your heart, lungs, and overall fitness levels.

You already know you can save tons of money—and with our failing economy, what better reason do you need to quit smoking? And, think about how you appear to others—nonsmokers prefer to interact with other nonsmokers, so quitting can improve your business and personal life as well.

Our society is becoming less accepting of smoking, and smokers are finding themselves increasingly having to sneak around to get their fix. If you are ready to undertake the challenge of quitting smoking, then you should know about the many programs that are available to help you be successful in quitting smoking for good.

Smoke kills

Once you develop the desire to quit smoking and you are ready to commit to the process, you should know the options that can help. Many people have experienced tremendous success with hypnosis to stop smoking. This strategy is one treatment that can help you develop the strength to get rid of the nasty habit once and for all. Being hypnotized can often help you remove the need and desire to smoke, which can help you break the habit of picking up the cigarettes every few minutes.

Acupuncture is another treatment that has shown promise for people to quit smoking for good. This is considered to be a very effective way to quit smoking, one of the best ways to stop smoking for good. Somehow releasing the energy from the targeted pressure points can help with smoking cessation.

If hypnosis or acupuncture are not enough to get you through, there are several effective medical treatments that are now available to help you quit smoking. Medications such as Zyban and Chantix can help with the side effects of withdrawal from the nicotine addiction. Using Chantix or Zyban for smoking cessation can be a way for you to get through the most difficult early stages of quitting smoking for good.

Don’t let smoking keep such a hold on your life, think about quitting smoking for good. Smoking cessation is possible for you and the benefits are truly too many to list. Get started toward a healthier lifestyle today and whether you choose hypnosis to stop smoking, Zyban for smoking cessation (or another effective medication) or acupuncture, there are many alternatives to the unhealthy choice of smoking.

Releasing Financial Stress From Your Body

By Colleen Lilly On October 23, 2008 No Comments

These are tough financial times.

Our emotions and bodies feel it.

EFT is a simple and wonderful way to relieve the stress and pressures of financial scarcity thoughts.

Here Dr Carol Look, an EFT master offers a clearing EFT sequence on abundance.

Go ahead and clear yourself today with EFT. It only takes a moment.

Take a deep breath before and after the tapping sequence and feel the difference!

Remember the universe is always abundant and open to our receiving.

Have an abundant day!

=========

by Dr Carol Look

My client showed me a letter from her company announcing that they would no longer be honoring their severance package agreement with her. My client said “and after I read this I got a really stiff neck and now have a crick in my neck and shoulder…” Of course she did…

A stock broker said he couldn’t keep up with his clients’ financial worries and constant phone calls asking him what’s happening in the world economy — after all, he had his own concerns about his family finances. After a harrowing few weeks following the volatility of the stock market and feeling guilty that he was helpless to control the losses his clients were experiencing, his old “back problem” came back again. Of course it did…

Another client said she is so worried that her husband might lose his job that she’s put on more than 5 pounds from emotional overeating. Of course she has…

These stories shouldn’t surprise us. If there is no safe place to express and release our financial stress and worries, they can “show up” in our bodies. It is critical that in turbulent times such as the ones we are living through that we have a way, a place and a method to express our fears, worries, and helplessness. Otherwise, the emotional stress and conflict gets “downloaded” into and absorbed by our bodies. EFT is of course one of the most efficient and satisfying ways to deal with these worries and pains.

Make sure you consult your physician to see if there are any medical reasons for your physical complaints that need attention, and then tap every day to help relieve your stress and worries about your financial life so your body will feel calm, you will sleep deeply, and you can still enjoy your life one day at a time. Even though your physical symptoms are totally real and can be measured with sophisticated medical tools, many of these challenges start in the mind with worry and stress.

Try the EFT setup phrases below to get you started…

1. EFT SETUP PHRASES:

The EFT SETUP Phrases for this topic are as follows:

While tapping the karate chop spot on either hand, repeat these phrases out loud, (or change the words to fit your exact situation).

“Even though my feelings of helplessness about the future of my finances are showing up in my body, I deeply and completely accept my feelings and who I am.”

“Even though I feel the financial stress and anxiety in my ______, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway. ”

“Even though my financial worries seem insurmountable, and the stress is showing up in my body, I choose to feel calm and to think more clearly.”

I have indicated where to tap while saying each of the phrases below. You may repeat the positive round more than once if you wish. (Those of you who are new to EFT may view a chart of the spots on my web site under the EFT pages.)

***Now for the phrases that focus on the problem***

Eyebrow: “I feel helpless about my finances.”
Side of Eye: “All I can do is worry and watch.”
Under Eye: “My worries and stress are showing up in my body.”
Nose: “I feel so worried about what’s happening.”
Chin: “I have so much financial “pain” in my life.”
Collarbone: “I don’t know how to feel better.”
Under Arm: “I am so worried and can feel it in my body.”
Head: “I feel so helpless and my body is so tight right now.”

***Now for the positive focus on the solution***

Eyebrow: “Even though I’m worried, I choose to think clearly.”
Side of Eye: “I choose to slow down my worried thoughts.”
Under Eye: “I choose to remember I have enough.”
Nose: “I appreciate so much about my life.”
Chin: “I could be more positive about my abilities and my future.”
Collarbone: “In spite of the situation, I have a lot of joy.”
Under Arm: “I choose to feel joyful even though I have financial worries.”
Head: “I choose to calm down and feel clear and peaceful.”
