I haven’t been doing much posting here lately…….so many other things calling for my attention. But I did want to wish everyone a happy and healthy 2018 and provide a little inspiration to get the new year off to a good start.  Please pardon the cramped spacing. Having techno problems. :-) Happy 2018!

 

PICKS FOR TODAY:

# 1 –

 

# 2 – Wisdom from Louise Hay…..

“When people come to me with a problem, I don’t care what it is – poor health, lack of money, unfulfilling relationships, or stifled creativity – there is only one thing I ever work on, and that is LOVING THE SELF.
I find that when we really love and accept and APPROVE OF OURSELVES EXACTLY AS WE ARE, then everything in life works.”
Louise Hay, “You Can Heal Your Life”
 –
# 3 – It’s hard to outdo Rumi!

–
# 7 – And some stimulation from Abe to end on….

True healers know that wellness is the order of the day, so they do not allow themselves, even for a moment, to see anything other than that. So, the power of the healer is in the power to influence the one who needs to be healed into a vibration that allows the healing that they are summoning, (that they could get, even without the healer, but they can get faster with a healer’s influence). — Abraham

Mother Nature, be real, cherish the moment, kindness, treating gout, and some Abe


 

PICKS FOR TODAY:

 

# 1 – Your smile for the day. :-)

Image may contain: plant and nature

 

# 2 – Some stimulation…..

“Stop being nice, start being real. Nice is a concept. Don’t be nice, don’t be polite, be real. Be real in the moment, then you are considering the whole situation and beyond. Being considerate is often not even taking care of yourself. All these are subtle ways of society to control you.

Be real, speak your truth with caring and loving. Be real, that is all. Nice is a personality trait, considerate is another personality trait. You are not your personality. Your personality is just a bunch of conditioning, that is all. You have a different personality for different situations….you have a personality with your parents, a personality with your boss, a different personality with your partner.

That is all false; it is not you. Be real, that’s all that’s needed in every situation.” — Alcazar

 

# 3 – Always good advice….

No automatic alt text available.

 

# 4 – One of the four rules for living from Lao Tzu….

“Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.” – Lao Tzu

http://blog.sivanaspirit.com/sp-gn-rules-of-living-lao-tzu/

 

# 5 – Check out the latest from Self-help Health, especially if you or someone you know is suffering from gout…..

https://selfhelphealth.wordpress.com/2017/09/28/natural-ways-to-prevent-and-treat-gout/

https://selfhelphealth.wordpress.com/2017/09/19/the-almond-uric-acid-gout-and-stroke-connection-free-event/

https://selfhelphealth.wordpress.com/2017/09/17/a-great-way-to-eat-more-sweet-potatoes/

 

# 6 – And some Abe to end on…..

Make the best of where you are and do your best to line up your Energy from where you are, because any bit of struggle or any bit of regret only holds your cork under the water and doesn’t allow you to connect with the Energy that would allow anything to improve. — Abraham

Truth, letting go, “Worlds Apart” commercial, thankful, 528 Hz, and Abe


 

PICKS FOR TODAY:

 

# 1 – Oh, this is a good one to reflect on….

“Truth is a pathless land” said Krishnamurti. If you’re following someone else, you’ll never find it!

https://selfhelphealth.wordpress.com/2017/07/10/using-solfeggio-frequency-528-hz-for-repairing-your-dna-opening-your-heart-and-more/

 

 

# 6 – And from Abe….

Some things you’re not letting happen right now because the timing isn’t perfect for you. Some you’re not letting happen because you are very aware of where you are. But all things, as they are happening, are happening in perfect order. And if you will relax and begin saying, “Everything in its perfect time. Everything is unfolding. And I’m enjoying where I am now, in relationship to where I’m going. Content where I am, and eager for more,” that is the perfect vibrational stance. — Abraham

Judge nothing, Misguided Monk, peace, more listening, Your Hidden Riches, and Abraham


PICK OF THE DAY:

Love the part about us and the common potato :-)

 

TIPS FOR TODAY:

# 1 -Short and sweet and it fits well with the pick of the day!

 

# 2 – Also short and sweet….a video titled The Misguided Monk.….

 

# 3 – Ah so….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

# 4 – A thought-provoking post from Tama Kieves along the lines of “less doing, more being”….

The Universe Wants to Talk to You: Do You Want to Listen?

The ego has a thousand goals. Are they really yours?

The fast-track Western world reveres productivity, measured by what we “get done.” But I invite you to consider becoming undone, letting go of ill-fitting self-definitions, freeing yourself from beliefs and patterns, becoming naked, available, and present to your present life. The Universe wants to talk to you. Do you want to listen?

Sometimes you have to stop scoring points in the life you have in order to win at the life you desire.  A Course in Miracles teaches, that “the vision of one world will cost you the vision of another.” Albert Einstein said the same thing: “You cannot solve the problem at the level of the problem.” Are you so busy maintaining the structures of your existing life, that you can’t hear when Great Love is calling your name?

We don’t always realize what we’re not getting done by getting things done.

The other day, I decided to give myself a mini-retreat on my back porch. I’d hurt my neck so I thought maybe I should drop my tasks and spend the day listening to my body and myself. Immediately I heard a perky voice within dictating glamorous, acceptable ways to relax. Maybe you should go to a spa and get a hot stone massage. Hey, you could read that new book about scaling your business. Since you’re not on the computer today, why not organize your meditation space? Even in the domain of my time off, I had a checklist waiting to devour me. I spent the day in a ratty tee shirt instead, “doing nothing,” being, listening, and receiving. It was one of the most productive days I’ve had in a while.

Read the rest of the post here: http://tamakieves-mojo-message.viprespond.com/June2014

 

# 5 – Here’s an offer I took advantage of and thought you may want to also. It’s an opportunity to receive a free copy of the upcoming book Your Hidden Riches: Unleashing the Power of Ritual to Create a Life of Meaning & Purpose (a $25 value) by Janet and Chris Attwood, best-selling authors of The Passion Test. You do need to cover postage though….$6.95 in the US, $19.95 international.

The book release isn’t until Oct. 21st, but there are several free items you receive right away….access to Janet’s “I Want for You What You Want for You” Meditations on Love program,  as well as access to a moving video created last year describing prophecies from ancient cultures about our current times called, “An Ancient Message for Modern Times.” Then in September you’ll receive Janet’s newest ebook, “Maro Up! A Japanese Billionaire’s Secret to Success” written with the ‘Warren Buffet’ of Japan, Wahei Takeda. So there’s stuff to keep you busy while you wait for the official release of Your Hidden Riches, which has already gotten advance praise from the likes of Don Miguel Ruiz, Jack Canfield, Dr. Daniel Amen and Mary Morrissey. You can sign up for your free copy here.

 

# 6 – This reminds me of how they say we try to make God into our image, instead of the other way around….

When that which is god — or that which is that which man wants to call “God” — is being understood by man, man has to translate it into the format he understands. But this Energy, this Source that man is giving the label of “God”, cannot be quantified in anything that man understands. And as man attempts to do it, the distortions are enormous.—Abraham

Tolle’s advice, this moment, your thoughts, Super Mind Music sale, Spring Forest Healingfest, and the new moon/solar eclipse


TIPS FOR TODAY:

 

# 1 – 

 

# 2 – A short, but stimulating read from Dr. Sue Morter….

This Moment is Medicine

The true you has nothing to prove, to accomplish, to gain, or to lose. It has no where to go, and there is nothing that does not already exist within. We can learn to live from that place. 

Whatever is happening in your outer circumstances, the true You can fall back into the fabric of all that exists, and be caught and supported every time. The real you is part of an eternal flow that is happening constantly and continuously. When we are identified as this true self (when we are living in conscious awareness of this truth), we know that there is purpose, we know that there is a full-flowing reality happening right through this very being. We know that the circumstances occurring in life are happening to reflect to us in what way we can steer differently or more specifically to stay anchored in this essential, centered self, regardless of circumstances. 

In truth, what science and what the ancient texts are telling us, repeatedly, and have always been telling us, is that there is one journey before you. It is the journey of moving from the protective outer shell to the inner core. That is the only place that there is to go. When it looks like we need to go and achieve something, we can go and achieve it, but do not confuse the accomplishment of an outer goal with fulfillment. Don’t confuse it with your destiny. Don’t confuse it with your purpose. It’s just entertainment. It’s just how you’re expressing and how you’re creating, and what you enjoy experiencing. The vibrational frequencies that you enjoy experiencing are why you pursue the things that you do. 

 

 # 3 – Something thought-provoking about thoughts :-)…..

some people believe that they are what they think
but its not true
shrug that thought off in a blink
whatever it is that you think you are
you’re most definitely not
you’re so much more than a temporal, mechanical thought
Sri Gawn Tu Fahr

 

# 4 – It’s new moon time again and there’s a solar eclipse involved with this one. Here’s M. Kelley Hunter’s (of Helia Productions) take on things….

NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE at 9 TAURUS, 
April 28, 11:14pm PDT, April 29, 2:14am EDT, 7:14am GDT 

Has April been one of the most intense, challenging, exciting and enriching months of the year? I hear a chorus of agreement through the ethers! 

This solar eclipse gets us down to business to follow up on the momentum of change. Emphasizing pragmatic issues of Taurus, we are asked to question and redefine our definitions of security and what’s sustainable in the long run. Though not a total eclipse, it will have its impact, especially under such a literal-minded earth sign. In the push and pull of the Big Change pattern, so strong this past month, we consider: what is worth our investment of time and energy, not to mention money? Let’s use our common sense to answer this question. There are hopeful signs that things are going in a good direction, even amidst the chaos and angst, and we’ll see more such signs in the next couple of months. Substantial developments are on the road to making a real difference. It’s a great New Moon day to celebrate the basic, simple things in life. It doesn’t take much, but we do need the essentials: good food, water, shelter, clothing, beauty and companionship. A creative flair makes the simple very special. 

For many, financial concerns take center stage, as anything we “plant” now can take hold. We look for the most fertile ground, as former fields of opportunity have dried up. Mars, still retrograde in Libra, continues negotiations, with new terms being discussed under the ripple effects of the eclipse. We are all increasingly impacted by the overarching developments. Slowly but surely, we take concrete steps forward as circumstances inform us about realistic solutions. As we look back on it, this has been a truly amazing month. Some things have clearly changed. Let’s appreciating what we have accomplished. We start the month on the beginning of a growth curve, after a Taurus eclipse that has changed the ground beneath our feet, metaphorically and/or literally. 

 

# 5 – Mind Power MP3s is having a sale……all their Super Mind Music Albums are $9.95 or less until 4/29 (tomorrow). Go to the home page and click on “Store SALE” in the header menu to find out more.

 

# 6 – Beginning on May 19th you can try out the audios and videos of the popular Spring Forest Qi Gong self-study course without having to buy it……
The course teaches an ancient Chinese “practice” that can help take away stress, pain, and sickness from your body…leaving you with more energy.

ALL PICKS!! Nature, close enounter, love, abundance and Abraham on worth


Well, without planning it, today is an ALL PICKS DAY!!

PICKS OF THE DAY:

Double wow!

“Nature is our chapel.”–Bjork

And right after coming across that picture on Facebook I came across this. Talk about synchronicity!

“What if our religion was each other
“If our practice was our life
“If prayer, our words.
“What if the temple was the earth
“If forests were our church
“If holy water – the rivers, lakes, and oceans
“What if meditation was our relationships
“If the Teacher was life
“If wisdom was self-knowledge
“If love was the center of our being”

~ Ganga White

And about a minute later I came across this…..beautiful music and images. Lends a whole new meaning to the term moving meditation…

http://www.collective-evolution.com/2014/02/24/look-where-we-live-breathtaking-video-footage-from-the-iss-will-leave-you-in-awe/

And then I found this, which I found fascinating and amazing!

http://themetapicture.com/photographer-gets-too-close-to-predator-then-something-amazing-happens/

And then this….

 

And this pick is from Children Of The Sun. They are starting a series on finally letting go of the sense of lack that has been keeping/delaying many of us from our birthright of true prosperity. What’s nice about the COTS events, recordings, etc., is they are offered on a donation basis, so they are not out of reach for anyone….

Know your Source of Supply

The one Universal Law that expresses; we are always taken care of and provided for, is so simple and profound that it is one of the most challenging truths to embrace.

Let’s feel into a few more…

  • The Divine Presence is the only acting intelligence in your life.
  • The Divine Presence governs all manifestation in your life perfectly. It is the power producing it and the force sustaining it.
  • To know the Divine Presence as your only source of supply is to be instantly prosperous.

If you live by these principles, you automatically enter into the truth that brings all freedom. Your life becomes a path of non-stop opening doors.

“When one dislodges from his soul the octopus grip of human habits and hereditary beliefs, replacing impossibility consciousness with the realized power of faith, one gains over the natural order a supernatural sovereignty.”

Read and find out more here:

http://childrenofthesun.org/2014/03/04/activating-prosperity-code-1st-phase-begins/

And the final pick for today is this quote/wisdom from Abraham, which works so well with the COTS focus. All we need to know/realize is abundance is our birthright and just allow it to flow to us….

Worthiness, in very simple terms, means I have found a way to let the Energy reach me, the Energy that is natural, reach me. Worthiness, or unworthiness, is something that is pronounced upon you by you. You are the only one that can deem yourself worthy or unworthy. You are the only one who can love yourself into a state of allowing, or hate yourself in a state of disallowing. There is not something wrong with you, nor is there something wrong with one who is not loving you. You are all just, in the moment, practicing the art of not allowing, or the art of resisting.—Abraham

Enjoy!

Growth, yummy cauliflower, your song, money and fun, and Abraham


PICK FOR THE DAY:

TIPS FOR THE DAY:

# 1 – Some great looking and sounding recipes using cauliflower….

http://www.rawfor30days.com/blog/2-scrumptious-new-ways-to-eat-cauliflower/

5/4/13 Note: I tried the 1st recipe the other day and loved it…ate the whole thing in one sitting. The “sauce” is great….could be used on a variety of things or as a salad dressing, especially on a nice, crisp spinach salad. Next time I will make a double recipe!

# 2 – A great tradition! May we all remember our song and find people who are willing to sing it with us, to us, and for us!

A Child’s Song By Alan Dana CohenThere is a tribe in Africa where the birth date of a child is counted not from when they were born, nor from when they are conceived but from the day that the child was a thought in its mother’s mind. And when a woman decides that she will have a child, she goes off and sits under a tree, by herself, and she listens until she can hear the song of the child that wants to come. And after she’s heard the song of this child, she comes back to the man who will be the child’s father, and teaches it to him. And then, when they make love to physically conceive the child, some of that time they sing the song of the child, as a way to invite it. And then, when the mother is pregnant, the mother teaches that child’s song to the midwives and the old women of the village, so that when the child is born, the old women and the people around her sing the child’s song to welcome it. And then, as the child grows up, the other villagers are taught the child’s song. If the child falls, or hurts its knee, someone picks it up and sings its song to it. Or perhaps the child does something wonderful, or goes through the rites of puberty, then as a way of honoring this person, the people of the village sing his or her song. In the African tribe there is one other occasion upon which the villagers sing to the child. If at any time during his or her life, the person commits a crime or aberrant social act, the individual is called to the center of the village and the people in the community form a circle around them. Then they sing their song to them. The tribe recognizes that the correction for antisocial behavior is not punishment; it is love and the remembrance of identity. When you recognize your own song, you have no desire or need to do anything that would hurt another. And it goes this way through their life. In marriage, the songs are sung, together. And finally, when this child is lying in bed, ready to die, all the villagers know his or her song, and they sing—for the last time—the song to that person. You may not have grown up in an African tribe that sings your song to you at crucial life transitions, but life is always reminding you when you are in tune with yourself and when you are not. When you feel good, what you are doing matches your song, and when you feel awful, it doesn’t. In the end, we shall all recognize our song and sing it well. You may feel a little warbly at the moment, but so have all the great singers. Just keep singing and you’ll find your way home. —

# 3 – In my 4/18 post I inadvertantly used the link in Tip #2 again in Tip # 3 as the link to a great article by The Wealthy Spirit author Chellie Campbell on money and fun.

I’ve since corrected the error, so people visiting that page now will be directed to the right place. But I wanted to be sure that those of you who viewed the page previously had a chance to read it, too, so am using it as a tip again today. Plus, it ties in so nicely with today’s Abraham quote (Tip # 5)!

# 5 – Joy your way to joy!

“Life is supposed to be fun. You said, “I’ll go forth and choose. I’ll look at the data, and I’ll say yes to this and yes to this and yes to this; and I’ll paint a picture of the things that I want, and I’ll vibrate about them because that’s what I’m giving my attention to. And the Universe will respond to my vibration. And then I’ll stand in a new place where a whole new batch of yeses are available, and I’ll say yes to this and yes to this and yes to this.” You did not say, “I’ll go forth and struggle into joy,” because from your Nonphysical Perspective you know it is vibrationally not possible. You cannot struggle to joy. Struggle and joy are not on the same channel. You joy your way to joy. You laugh your way to success. It is through your joy that good things come.”— Abraham

Enjoy, “Zippy”
