Your Mind Body and Soul

Giving Thanks For Your Future…

Dr Carol Look, EFT master is back!

Can you tell I love Carol Look and her EFT work?

This is a very good EFT sequence on gratitude and increasing
your abundance.

Giving thanks for your future is an exceptional process for speeding up your manifestations, and super simple to use by itself as well as with EFT.

First, identify what you want your future to look like in several different areas. In other words, “paint” the picture in your mind and feel the emotions of having received what you want. Choose a few areas in your life, maybe what your new beautiful home will look like, or what it might feel like to have the exact schedule you want in your career, how it will feel and what it will look like to have financial abundance in your life…

Then write a list of what you “have” in the present tense. Below are some examples:

I am living in the perfect home for our family, I wouldn’t change a thing.

I am finally at my ideal weight and it was so easy getting here.

Then take the above sentences and make them into your “Thank You Universe” list by adding the phrase “Thank you Universe for bringing me…” and start tapping! (Many of you already know this “abundance game” from my Attracting Abundance with EFT book.) Those of you who are willing to try this for a few days or weeks will be amazed at how quickly you notice good fortune, positive “coincidences” and serendipity in your life.

Your list that you will use for tapping might sound like this:

Thank you Universe for bringing me the perfect home that meets my family’s needs…

Thank you Universe for bringing me simple ways to reach and maintain my ideal body weight…
Then tap on the designated EFT points while you say your list out loud!

Why is this technique so effective? Because we are combining two profound, yet simple tools, both of which have given myself and my workshop students and clients astounding results in all areas of success and abundance. Giving thanks for your future is incredibly effective by itself, as is EFT. Combining the two techniques will speed everything up for you! While tapping when you are giving thanks for your future, you release all the blocks, “yes, buts” and negativity in your way, and allow your energy system (your vibration) to be open and ready to receive what you have been asking for.

Gratitude is the best medicine for a life of lack,
and EFT is the most efficient tool to speed up
your journey so you land where you want to be.

Try the EFT setup phrases below to get you started…and then play around with the “Thank you Universe” sentences until you come up with ones that fit your life…and give thanks for your future!

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 I don’t have what I want yet, I deeply and completely accept who I am and how I feel.”

“Even though I don’t have what I want yet, I choose to give thanks as if it’s already here.”

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 don’t have what I want yet.”
Side of Eye: “But I’m doing everything right…”
Under Eye: “I want it right now.”
Nose: “I don’t know how to speed this up.”
Chin: “I don’t have what I want yet, and I feel impatient.”
Collarbone: “I don’t know how to feel better about this.”
Under Arm: “Maybe I’ll act “as if” and give thanks already.”
Head: “I really want what I want right now.”

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

Eyebrow: “Thank you Universe for bringing me the perfect home for my family.”
Side of Eye: “Thank you Universe for bringing me the perfect work schedule.”
Under Eye: “Thank you Universe for bringing me my ideal body weight.”
Nose: “Thank you Universe for bringing me such peace and harmony in my family.”
Chin: “Thank you Universe for resolving that issue at work.”
Collarbone: “Thank you Universe for clearing up that physical problem in my body.”
Under Arm: “Thank you Universe for bringing me the ideal clients I wanted.”
Head: “Thank you Universe for bringing me the perfect solution to my challenge at work.”

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Fun Facts!

It’s Fun to Know: The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has been held every year since 1924 (except for a two-year interruption during World War II when the helium and rubber used in the balloons was donated to the war effort).

The first Macy’s parade featured animals from the Central Park Zoo. Inflatable characters came on the scene in 1926.

The parade was televised nationally for the first time in 1947. When you watch it on TV this year, you’ll be watching a crowd of about three million people lining the parade route.

Wishing you all a Very Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Blessings to you and your family & friends~~

The Power of Words

I love this article by Barbara Giamanco.

It is exactly what I think and how I feel about the economic times we
are experiencing.

We cannot allow ourselves to get caught up in all the economic turmoil
and chaos. Change starts with us and our thoughts.

Let us monitor our thoughts positively and project this to our family
and friends. This is how we will change the world – one person at
a time.

So yes, be grateful and be positive in your thoughts. You are more
powerful than you think.

God Bless and be sure to take positive inventory of all the gifts you
have and have been given!

================

By Barbara Giamanco

In a world so full of “me first” attitudes, it is no wonder we see so much turmoil and dysfunction in the world around us. The financial fiasco being played out on the national stage is evidence that something is seriously wrong. Day after day, words of disaster come at us from all directions — words that instill fear, panic, and negativity. News of foreclosures, more bank failures, bailouts totaling billions of dollars…it is no wonder the confidence level of people in our country is the lowest it has been in 28 years. That has to change, and it can if we commit ourselves to changing what “we think about” and “what we say” to ourselves and others!

Anybody living in Atlanta since Gustav hit the gulf coast has seen evidence of what happens when people get themselves into a place of panic and fear. Gasoline was in short supply here, and the result was closed stations and long lines at the pumps of those stations that had gas. We also began to see evidence of what happens to people’s behavior in times of stress. People trying to cut in line, fistfights and angry words at the pump, and a general attitude of I’m going to get mine first.

In Corporate America, we see people suffering from a severe affliction that I like to call the “corporate coma.” People aren’t walking through their work lives with joy and ease or a sense that they are valued for who they are and what they contribute. Instead, a type of malaise has settled over employees in companies everywhere. Today’s economic fears and negativity, encouraged all too frequently by the media, only adds the proliferation of “what’s the use” attitudes. The result is an apathetic, largely checked out workforce who up to go through the motions in order to take home the paycheck.

Those of us working outside those corporate halls are not immune to feeling invisible, unappreciated for our gifts and talents, or feeling just plain beaten down by the constant demands of business and life. The constant barrage of negative information coming at us can erode our confidence, if we let it.

Big change is sorely needed in our world, and it starts with each one of us. What’s happening nationally doesn’t have to be our world locally. We have all heard it said that we are what we think about. I’d like to take that a step further and say that we are also what we “talk about.” What we say — the words we use — largely determines our success or failure.

What are you saying right now? Are you complaining about what you don’t have or what you do have? Are you blaming the economy or others for what’s not working in your life right now? If you are, that’s an attitude that will get you nowhere and it never will. James Arthur Ray in his book “Harmonic Wealth” says, “Energy flows where attention goes.” Whether you realize it or not, our words are powerful, energetic forces that have the power to harm or heal. They can either empower or disappoint. They can lift up or drag down. Choose your words carefully. Ask yourself if they help you or harm you. Banish words that keep you and others rooted in mediocrity. Commit to yourself that you will not be one of those people who use “the economy” as an excuse for not accomplishing your goals. Have a positive mental attitude, plan what you want to accomplish, develop your skills, use positive words, and stay focused on the action you need to take to achieve the success you desire.

Finally, remember to maintain an “attitude of gratitude.” If you find yourself sinking into feelings of fear and worry, I encourage you to stop for a minute to take stock of all the gifts you have in your life right now, because I’m betting there are plenty of them if you just take a minute to look around. Create a gratitude list and refer to it often. Remaining grateful for what we have is a surefire way to keep us on a positive track. And remember to say “thank you” to others around you for a job well done, a business connection made, or a helping hand offered.

A positive mental attitude backed up by positive and inspiring language is one of the single biggest determinants of success. So shut out the noise. Ignore the negativity. Stay focused on your goals, speak positively to yourself and others, and watch your success soar!

How To Look Younger: Tackle Wrinkles Without Surgery

How can you wade through mountains of anti-aging and anti-wrinkle products that are supposed to make you look younger longer? Is there any information about what works? Actually, there is quite a bit of research these days about how effective various products are in the battle to stay young. This article examines three of the most popular options that you might be considering.

Botox: Injection of the botulism toxin (Botox) has long been used to fight wrinkles, crow’s feet, brow furrows, and frown lines. By temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause these obvious signs of aging, Botox has earned a top spot by many celebrities and every day people alike. Botox fans claim it’s like getting a non-surgical facelift every few months, just with a quick injection.

Restylane: This injectable dermal-filling formula is made from non-animal sources. Research is showing that one set of restylane injections can last six months or more. Because the chemical is recognized by the human body, it is absorbed more easily, with less chance of rejection or unpleasant side effects. Restylane is known for it’s quick effects, and quick administration. A set of injections in a small area can take as little as five minutes. This formula has become popular for treating frown lines, lips, brows, and more, in a way far less expensive than cosmetic surgery.

Juvederm: A fairly newly approved treatment, Juvederm is getting rave reviews in the wrinkle-fighting world. Like it’s sisters, Botox and Restylane, Juvederm can reduce fine lines, wrinkles, brow lines, crow’s feet, and other signs of aging. By acting as a filling agent for the areas that have lost collagen firmness, Juvederm helps particularly with areas that may need “plumping,” such as the lips.

Deciding among these three products may depend on what you are looking for in terms of results. Botox has been around the longest, and remains a quick “pick-me-up” for aging skin. Restylane and Juvederm are “dermal fillers,” injections of a collagen gel material that does not relax the facial muscles, but rather they fill in areas that are wrinkled due to collagen loss in the skin. Botox treatments are said to last approximately four months, while Restylane is reported to last for up to six months, and Juvederm is reported to last the longest, sometimes showing results for up to a full year.

Non-Caucasians have less risk of hyperpigmentation with Juvederm as compared with the other treatments. All of these injectable products come with some risk of mild side effects, usually just some bruising or tenderness at the injection site. More rare complications of the Botox treatments may include a change in facial expression due to over-relaxing of the facial muscles around the treatment area.

Fighting the war on aging is not easy, but there are many products that have been developed to help you maintain your youthful good looks as long as possible. Treating your skin properly for your entire life helps, but too many of us wait until the damage is done before we even realize what we’ve done. Check with your dermatologist to help you make the right decision in your fight against aging. Properly caring for your aging skin can definitely make a difference—you will feel younger when you look younger!

This week’s prayer visualization ….

On this week of Thanksgiving in the U.S., let’s hold a special prayer of gratitude that includes all peoples around the world. Many of us in recent years have seen how a focus on gratitude and “counting our blessings” can change and uplift our individual lives. We are realizing, I believe, that such a change in mental focus breaks through the rut of negative expectations and reconnects us with the divine, thus opening us up again to guiding intutions and the positive flow of synchronicity. In a miraculous way, our gratitude for our many blessings brings even more blessings. So let’s all join for a powerful prayer visualization for a great wave of gratitude to sweep the world as we begin the holiday season.

What Can Deep Breathing Do For You?

You can live without food for weeks, without water for days,
but without oxygen, you will die in a matter of minutes.

If you want a healthy body that is full of energy, the
habit of deep breathing is the key. The more oxygen you
put into your lungs, the more energy you will have.

Your body runs on oxygen, and this will provide your
body with more of it.

What can deep breathing do for you?

* Give you more energy
* Reduce stress
* Improves your immune system
* Improves your mood
* Aids in elimination of toxins
* Rejuvenation of the glands

Breathe From the Diaphragm

Many people have forgotten how to breathe properly.
When you watch a baby breathe, you notice that their
belly expands with each breath.

This is how humans are supposed to breathe, from the
diaphragm. The baby’s diaphragm is creating a suction
that pulls oxygen into the lungs.

As we get older, many of us unconsciously switch from natural
deep diaphragm breathing to shallow chest breathing.

To experience diaphragmatic breathing, place your hand on
your waist. Take a deep breath and expand your belly; your
hand should move outward as you inhale and inward as you
exhale.

If you practice this, you will find that it gets easier and easier
to take deep, full breaths from your diaphragm.

Make deep, diaphram breathing a new habit and watch your
stress level dissolve.

10 Ways To Raise Your Energy and Help Change The World

How is that for a title??

Attention grabbing or what?!

I agree with Ian Legg regarding ways to increase our vibration and help change the world.

We start with ourselves and hence change the world.

Ian quotes one of my favorite enlightenment authors Dr David Hawkin’s book Power vs Force. Some fascinating information in this book on how we can raise our own vibration. What has high vibration and the reverse.

Just reading this post will increase your vibration and give you good information on what you can do to make your life better.

I recommend Dr Hawkins books – all of them!! There is a “In The World But Not Of It” program in the sidebar of this blog to your right for you to peruse. Read it if you are so moved to be enlightened today!

Blessings to you ~

=============

By Iain Legg / Creator of The Super Mind Evolution System

1. DON’T give away your power to people. Take responsibility for your life. If things aren’t going as hoped in your life, re-examine your deepest beliefs. Swap limiting beliefs for empowering ones.

10. DO help other people. Join activist sites like Avaaz.org that collect petitions to help humanity. Forgiveness, compassion and understanding are good vibrations. Maybe even learn to spread love and heal people from a distance with the power of your mind…

Billion Dollar Meditation

Here is a Manifestation Meditation I recently came across. It hails from the Manifesting Super Gold Pack by Barry Goss and Heather Vale Goss.

It is a beautiful manifestation meditation and appropriate at this time.

This meditation takes approx 15 mins and should be done every day.

I send blessings to you ~~

========

The Billion Dollar Meditation

Start by relaxing every muscle in your entire body. Imagine a warm, healing energy and light caressing and entering every single cell inside of you.

When you are deeply relaxed, repeat the sound ” Ahhhhhhhh ” out loud, or in your mind. This is the same sound you would make if you had a big epiphany or were watching the most exquisite sunset. Let the sound come out effortlessly, releasing and relaxing your being deep inside.

Let the sound flow gently and naturally out of your lungs and vocal chords. Don’t force it out. Let is relax you deeper.

Then imagine a golden liquid light running up from the base of your spine, through your heart and showering out the top of your head.

As it fountains out the crown of your head, the liquid light cascades down over your entire body. You become a fountain of energy bathing in golden vibrant goodness.

With each in breath, the energy flows up your spine to the top of your head. With each out breath, it flows out your crown, cascades down around your body and drenches your skin, muscles, bones and cells with warm golden healing energy.

After 7 minutes of bathing in your golden shower, take the remaining time to imagine hundreds of millions of dollars ( in $100 bills ) floating down from the clouds above, dumping all over your neighborhood, entering your house and filling up your room!

Visualize yourself swimming through the money, touching the millions of dollars around you! Look outside your window and see how EXCITED and ECSTATIC everyone is! It is raining millions of dollars in everybody’s home! There is more than enough for everyone.

Let yourself experience this abundance and feel that you have more money than you could ever spend or ask for. Experience the feelings of JOY, SECURITY and EXCITEMENT this money brings to you.

Allow this feeling of being infinitely rich to sink to the core of your heart, mind and soul! Know that you are a God-Being and you deserve it!

As with all manifestation techniques, keep in mind that juicing up your emotions — really FEELING the joy and excitement outlined in the meditation — is the best way to kick the attraction power into high gear.

** In order to fully maximize the power of this meditation, set a strong intention to maintain this abundant feeling and vibration all day long! It feels good to bathe in these feelings of abundance all the time!
