October Spiritual Attunements For Your Soul

Susan Palmer in Sedona AZ does monthly from the .

These attunements will be good for your soul. Especially in these
turbulent times. Give yourself the gift of these attunements.

Here is information on the monthly attunements for Oct.

More information can be found on Susan’s website at
www.SpiritHealerIAM.com

==========

This is the message from the Angelic Realm about the Energy Transmissions for the October Attunements:

Dear Friends,

We love you and we hear your prayers, concerns, and pleas for help from God and the Heavens. We know that this is an extremely challenging time for many upon Planet Earth. As always, we in the Angelic Realm, your Spirit Guides, Angels and Indwelling Divine Self are constantly with you and ready to assist you at all times and in all matters. And now at this watershed time upon Planet Earth, is it up to each of you to “decide”…Will you “choose” to place your “Faith” and trust in God/Spirit, the Infinite, Loving, Abundant Consciousness that created and is maintaining in absolute harmony and perfection the entire Universe?

Or will you succumb to and “buy into” the “Fear” that is now running rampant upon Planet Earth? From dishonest politics, a failing economy, collapsing financial institutions, unsafe foods, terrorism, natural disaster, global warming, 2012, and on, and on, and ON it goes! From morning til night you are being “fed” with a steady, heavy diet of “fear”, from your news media, political leaders, “experts” in all fields, and the advertising company, every day you are “told” there is something new and more for you to “fear.” You live in a pervasive culture of fear, my friends. And the only “antidote” for this “poison” of fear that is now running rampant throughout your world, creating panic and paralysis, and killing the human spirit, is Spiritual Awakening to the Truth of God, Self, and Life by cultivating the daily practise of “faith.”

N.Y.C's Angel

So we come to you this month with a strong and clear “reminder” that YOU are “in charge” of your life. It is your beliefs, perceptions, thoughts, words, and actions that create “your reality.” No matter what may be happening in the world around you, it does not have to negatively affect you, unless you let the “fear” in! As the old saying goes, “There is nothing to fear, but “fear” itself.” And what truly is “fear,” my friends…It is “False Evidence Appearing Real.”

If you think/believe that your life, livelihood, health, happiness, abundance and success is “dependent” in any way, upon any person, circumstance or situation outside of yourself, that it comes from anywhere/anyone other than Source/God, you have set yourself up for hard times indeed, fraught with stress, worry, fear and insecurity…especially now, with so many “problems” facing the world at large and so many established “institutions,” be it churches, political organizations, financial institutions, etc. all now “failing” miserably and very publically. This is currently the “path” of most human beings…the path of Fear. And you are fed an almost constant “daily diet” of it through your news media, and “human conversations.” Is this the path you truly wish to follow in your life, to let the negative mass (un)consciousness, and the “lie” of F.E.A.R determine the outcomes of your future?

Or, will you choose “Faith”..i.e., “In God We Trust”! It’s printed on every piece of money in the USA, but how many even notice this statement that expresses the key to Peace and Prosperity in all things, let alone practise it?! And what is “faith,” my friends. It is not an old, trite religious term of days gone by. “Faith” means to have your “Consciousness Centered in Universal Source”! God/Creator/Spirit, and not your bank accounts, husbands, investments, insurance policies, jobs, national economy, etc., is the “Source” of ALL “Supply,” for your every need.

God/Spirit is the “source,” God is the “true self” that you are, God is the “supply” of all things made manifest in the physical/material realms, and God is the constant, continous Universal Flow of Life and Natural Abundance that supports all of “life”..both the source and the fulfillment of all your needs and desires. God is the Infinite Invisible, expressing Its Divine Self as and through limitless physical forms, including YOU. It is your God-given “spiritual birthright” to have a healthy, happy, abundant life. And so you shall, IF you practise “faith” rather than entertain “fears” by keeping your attention focused on the one and only Source from which all good comes, the True Provider of your every need…God, Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent Spirit.

This is the purpose of the October Attunement transmissions, to send a strong dose of spiritual energy and upliftment to help you develop/deepen your “Faith” so that you can remain centered in the “truth,” connected to Source for all your needs, and do not succumb to the voices of fear, lack and limitation that surround you. For those of you who are feeling helpless and fearful, we offer you a “lifeline” of our very real and tangible Presence, and assistance to help you move beyond fear and develop faith and conscious awareness of the “Spirit” of God within you, your Source and True Self, to cope with these turbulent and changing times. For those of you already striving to “maintain your center” in Source, and the Indwelling Spirit of God that you are, we offer you additional strength, hope, discernment, and support to deepen your faith, so that you may remain in peace, joy and prosperity, despite the storms of life you may see around you.

So please join with us for the EIGHT October Attunement Transmissions. Just as you request assistance from God/Spirit, so too we need your help at this time, for YOU, each and every one of you are the “instruments,” the mind, heart and hands of God-incarnate-in-physical-form through which Creator/Spirit expresses Its Light, Love and Abundant Blessings for a New Earth Rising! …the Angels

COST: Only $55 for EIGHT 45-minute Energy Transmissisons

Turning Towards Grace

By Heather K. O’Hara

“We are so ruled by what other people tell us we must be
that we have forgotten who we are.”
Leo Buscaglia

We all seem to have an endless array of ghosts in our closets…
things that we have said and done and believed that continue
to distort the picture of who we really are. We’ve all, at some
point in time, believed the worst about ourselves and the people
we love, instead of expecting the best.

We’ve all done or said something that we wish we could take back, reinvent, do over… but in the grand design of the universe—these
are the very things that will lead us back to our truest selves.

Life is about turning and then turning again… We do things the way
we do them, because we don’t know any other way of doing them.
When we know another way, we will do things another way—and every negative belief we have, every knee-jerk reaction we have, every unpleasant outcome we have will bring us closer to knowing that there is another way.

Without the experience of doing something that we now realize
we could have done differently, there is no personal growth or
expansion of consciousness. Sometimes we react “physically”
and sometimes we respond “spiritually,” because we are
spiritual/physical beings; and we are all on our way to becoming
the best blend of these two levels of beingness that we can
possibly be.

You cannot separate one from the other; you cannot be only one—
by way of being born into this world you are both and, as long as
you are here, you will always be both.

So, before you do anything, forgive yourself… not for being human,
but for believing that in your humanness you are not perfect. You
are perfect. You are two perfect halves that make up a perfect
whole—and the entire purpose of your existence is to enjoy the
adventure of mixing and blending.

Very few are raised, educated and/or conditioned by other humans
who are fully aware of their own perfection… and yours. Most
haven’t a clue about who they really are, but they all loved you
and guided you and cared for you in the very best way they
knew how.

They didn’t know what they didn’t know and, somewhere along
the way, you absorbed and began to believe about yourself what
they didn’t know—and what they didn’t know is that they,
and you, are perfect beings…

What they didn’t know is that they, and you, are valuable—
regardless of the worth anyone else places on your words,
your actions, or your presence in this world. What they didn’t
know is that they, and you, are important— regardless of
whether or when or where you fit into someone else’s
definition of “significant.”

And, further, what they didn’t know is that they, and you,
are powerful…

Yes, powerful… Powerful enough to mix and blend, mix and blend.

Powerful enough to turn away from what does not uplift you; and turn towards Grace.

Powerful enough to let go of someone else’s story, which you have
innocently believed was your own, and rewrite it—from beginning
to end.

Powerful enough to be different—to think your own thoughts and
to choose your own way.

Powerful enough to fall down seven times and get up eight.

Powerful enough to do and be and have whatever brings you joy!

Powerful enough to throw logic to the wind, to create your own path, follow your own feelings… and live your own dreams.

Powerful enough to replace old beliefs with new beliefs; false
beliefs with true beliefs.

Yes… you are powerful beyond words, beyond description; and
you deserve to know the truth about yourself.

And, the truth is: You are valuable. You are important.
You are perfect. And, you are deeply loved.

Feel this truth… breathe it in… make it your own; spend one minute
—just one sacred minute—remembering who you really are . . .

And now you are turning, my beautiful friend…

and now, you are turning towards Grace.

Are You Lying About Your Diet?

By Craig Ballantyne

Today, I’m going to talk about . And I’m not going to be politically correct. So if you are easily offended, press your “page down” button right now.

Most people are carrying their extra pounds because they eat too much and exercise too little, not because of “bad genes.” And the latest research shows that they’re probably lying to themselves about their .

Researchers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture had 524 men and women – some of them overweight and some of them with a normal BMI (body mass index) – estimate how many calories they ate each day. Their estimates were then compared to their actual calorie intake, as determined by a proven scientific method.

day 1 of 30 - 135 lbs
Creative Commons License photo credit: skampy

The results were shocking. On average, the subjects underreported their calorie intake by 11 percent. So if, for example, they thought they were eating 2,000 calories, they were really eating 2,200 calories. Do that for 18 days, and you’ll have overeaten a whopping 3,600 calories. That’s a whole extra pound of fat.

But here’s the worst news. The subjects who had a normal BMI under-reported their intake by only 3 percent. That means the overweight folks in the study under-reported their food intake by much more than the 11 percent average.

No wonder they can’t lose weight!

To stop lying to yourself (and your trainer), you need to start keeping track – in writing – of everything you eat. That includes each handful of grapes, chips, etc., and all the leftovers you scoop off of your children’s plates and into your mouth.

This should be an eye-opening exercise for you.

If you find – as I suspect you will – that you are consuming more calories than you’ve been admitting to, take action to stop the offending behavior before you gain even more weight.

[Ed. Note: It may be uncomfortable at first. But once you pinpoint the problem, you can begin to solve it. Since losing weight can be tough, make sure you have plenty of support from your loved ones. Or join an online support group. You can join ETR's free SpeakOut Forum and exchange exercise techniques, recipes, and motivation right here. And for an exercise routine that builds muscle and burns fat, try fitness expert Craig Ballatyne's Turbulence Training program.]

Thinking of Acupuncture?

What is acupuncture?

is one of the oldest treatment procedures in the world, dating back over 2,000 years. Acupuncture refers to a particular treatment method of inserting and manipulating very fine at specific points on the body that are believed to be “acupuncture points” that can relieve pain when allowed to release vital energy.

Acupuncture has long been recognized in traditional Chinese medicine as a technique that focuses on a person’s , or vital energy, that flows along meridians throughout the body. During the past few decades, acupuncture has gained tremendous popularity in Western cultures, and has become accepted as a common alternative or complementary therapy method. There are many different kinds of acupuncture, with differing philosophical backgrounds and techniques.

What does acupuncture feel like?

The needles that are used for acupuncture are hair-thin, and most people that receive this treatment report no pain or very minimal pain from the needles. The acupuncture needles that are used are sterile, and disposable, and not ever re-used for another patient.

Accupuncture - P1060368

What is a typical acupuncture experience like?

Typically, a person receiving acupuncture for the first time will be asked to provide a fairly extensive health history, including the condition you are seeking treatment for, and any lifestyle or behavioral patterns. Once you are ready, you will be lying down in a relaxed position. The fine needles will be inserted into the various acupuncture points, and often will remain there for varying time periods.

What are the possible side effects of acupuncture?

There are usually no side effects to acupuncture when it is performed properly. Some people report feeling a very brief stinging sensation, others report a dull ache around the needle site. Most people report feeling nothing during the sessions.

Following acupuncture for treatment of some conditions, patients may report a slight worsening of symptoms briefly before they begin to feel better. Also, brief changes in sleeping or eating patterns have been seen. It is felt that these symptoms occur because the blocked qi has been released at the acupuncture points, and is flowing out, healing the body. These symptoms indicate that acupuncture is starting to work.

Most patients report an intense feeling of relaxation, and even occasionally a mild disorientation following acupuncture treatments. These effects are expected to wear off over the next 24-48 hours.
What are some common uses for acupuncture? A better question to ask is, “What are the conditions that acupuncture cannot treat?”

Acupuncture is recognized as a very safe method of encouraging the body to promote its own natural healing and improve overall function. This functioning and healing is related to symptoms of many different conditions, including addictions (smoking, alcohol), weight loss, asthma, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, headaches, back pain, menstrual cramps, post-operative pain, stroke rehabilitation, acne, allergies, anxiety, high blood pressure, arthritis, morning sickness, impotence, and more.

What are the benefits to acupuncture?

Being a holistic approach, acupuncture treats the whole body during treatment of a specific condition. Acupuncturists believe that illness results from disruptions or interruptions in the natural flow of energy, and by restoring this energy properly, the body can heal itself. Clinical trials have shown acupuncture to be beneficial, particularly in the treatment of pain, but the field of research is growing to include positive results for respiratory disorders, addiction, and weight loss as well.

Using acupuncture to quit smoking or acupuncture for weight loss may help strengthen the immune system, reduce anxiety, and provide more strength to continue the process necessary to make those big life changes.

Because of the very minimal side effects of acupuncture, and the positive reports from so many patients, it should be considered as an alternative or complementary treatment for many disorders. Attempts at healing the body and improving function should not target small, precise areas, instead, the healing needs to address the entire body for best results. Acupuncture can meet that need successfully and aid in the healing of the body.

Matrix Energetics Seminar Review

I attended the Matrix Energetics weekend seminar with in Minneapolis, MN. The seminar runs from Friday night to Monday night.

The seminar is intended to teach us new possibilities on creating our realities. We learn new techniques on how to access the matrix and utilize for immediate .

Dr Bartlett’s seminar has evolved to a new label he calls “

Here is my review of the ME Seminar…

The Mpls seminar was perfect. NO other word to describe it. The structure of the seminar was perfect, Dr Bartlett, Justice, Melissa and Reggie were wonderful. The participants were cooperative and engaging. Lots of transformation going on and at rapid speed.

The highlights for me were two fold – the lady who Dr Barlett pulled
on stage with scoliosis. He showed us how to run the ‘Roadrunner’ up her back like a zipper and shazam, her spine transformed before our eyes! Next was a lady on Friday night in a wheelchair. She was in a wheelchair for only 3 weeks I believe she said because of her back.

Well there was more there than a back issue. She could not even stand up and when Dr Bartlett and William tried to stand her up, her entire body shook. Dr Bartlett worked on her for no more than 5-7 mins and she was a new person! She had a new face and demeanor as she left the hotel. She went from a slumped old lady label to a young vibrant lady who knew she would be getting out of the wheelchair soon!

Not sure what Dr Bartlett did for her, but it was enlightening!

Another ME story out of the seminar. I spoke to a lady from Parkersburg Iowa. Some may remember the Memorial Day tornado in Parkersburg this Summer. Well, this lady was in the tornado where the town was blown to pieces. She said she could feel her house going when she 2 pointed her house in the midst of the tornado and said ‘Stop, Stay” and lo and behold, her house was not blown away! She must be the only home still standing in town!! Wow!

A few other thoughts to share. What I took away from the seminar personally were the new labels of ME. We are experiencing “Consciousness Technology” I am still letting those words settle into my being.

Another thought keeps coming to mind, I heard the quote that ‘miracles are the collapsing of time.’ In ME we see that frequently. Even though I was exposed to time travel and parallel universes 16 months ago, these concepts really took hold of me this seminar. I see these miracles in a new light now. They are not only concepts now, they are as real and natural as breathing for me.

In addition, Dr Bartlett told of how he broke his leg the first day at the Vancouver seminar and was in a great deal of pain. He knew he had to ‘walk his talk’ and find a way to finish the seminar.

He used parallel universes and found a reality where his leg was not broken. He finished the seminar. Sixteen months ago I would have thought Dr Bartlett was only telling a fable, now I believed it. This is not only how I have grown personally, but the evolution of ME. Seminar participants are picking up ME and Consciousness Technology much quicker now.

I am grateful for this seminar experience and I know that I along with the seminar participants will continue to integrate what we have learned and experienced. What a wonderful opportunity and truly God’s grace working in and through us.

I walked away a new person from this seminar. I am much calmer and peaceful. I love the idea that we have new options and can create new realities with our lives. What a wonderful gift Matrix Energetics is.

I am happy for the evolution of Matrix Energetics and the incredible transformations that we witnessed at this seminar. The seminar is fun and fast moving. Lots of hands on practice.

You can experience Matrix Energetics at a seminar. Seminar information is located at www.matrixenergetics.com

The Law Of The Garbage Truck

By Larry Crane

————————————————————

“One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.

We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car backed out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.

Anxious
Creative Commons License photo credit: rickyrhodes

He was really friendly. So I asked, ‘Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital.’ This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call ‘The Law of the Garbage Truck.’

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.

Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So… Love the people who treat you right. And love the ones who don’t.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Have a blessed, garbage-free day.”

– Dan Westfall

Thanks to Dan for sharing this story with us. Thanks, too, to the taxi driver who is a unique person.

The taxi driver knows that any event, any situation, any person you come across is neutral, that is, neither good nor bad until you place the label. Shakespeare said, “Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” Calling something bad, labeling it bad, is making the thing or event negative for you. You go negative on the negative thing and you are joining up with negative. Put it this way. Going negative is getting negative.

Your mind doesn’t like that. It’s saying, “What am I supposed to do? You want me to like it when something comes along that’s negative?” Yes, you’re supposed to like it. Better yet, love it. It’s only negative because you think it is.

The taxi driver knew that. Were a garbage truck running him, he would have lashed out against the other driver. He would have gone negative and gotten negative. He would have ruined his day. He would have put himself in a negative frame of mind, a bad mood. Garbage would have won out. Garbage would have had a victory. Negative, non-love would have gotten stronger.

The taxi driver applied love. In so doing, love got stronger in him and increased his storehouse of positive energy. He remained happy and untouched by the event. It was a victory for freedom, freedom from non-love feelings, freedom from negativity and misery.

Most of the world is applying negativity, non-love feelings, thoughts, actions, and reactions. Look around. That’s why most of the people in the world are sick, miserable, and very depressed.

Life is a decision. Your attitude, your outlook is a decision moment to moment. I’m going to be positive; I’m going to be negative. I’m going to express negative non-love into the world. I’m going to dump my garbage into the world. Or, I’m going to be positive. I’m going to express positive in the world. I’m going to apply love.

Lester Levenson said that in any situation, if you would love more, the situation would resolve in a positive way. The taxi driver knew that.

The taxi driver could have met garbage with garbage. It would have made his day negative. It would have presented Dan with a negative situation. Garbage would have won the day. Look what a difference the taxi driver made by remaining positive and loving in spite of the negative garbage being thrown his way.

Practice love. Practice being positive and loving in spite of garbage pails or garbage trucks. Being positive and loving in spite of what is happening is a victory for freedom, freedom from the garbage truck with all its negativity, stress, frustration, and suffering. Being positive and loving in spite of whoever or whatever is expanding your capacity to love and increasing your happiness.

The story says it right. Being positive is being loving. Being loving is being successful. Positive is the same energy as love, as success, happiness, and abundance. It’s your decision. In spite of any circumstance you have a decision to make. Be positive and loving, or spread the garbage. Which one feels better? Which one provides the best outcome? Which one is better for you, for those around you, for the planet?

Next time something comes your way that you could throw garbage at, remember the taxi driver. Be positive and loving. Stay in the high energy of love and conquer any and all situations. Love is the answer.

Make it a victory for freedom over the garbage. Apply love. Love wins, you win.

Remember, life is ninety percent what you make it. Make it positive and loving.
