I don’t know if you have ever had a computer virus, but this one absolutely pushed me to the end of my limits.  It is the Alpha Antivirus:  every 2 minutes it would pop up and tell me my computer was infected … there was no way to find it in any of the registries; you couldn’t search for it; it steals passwords so you couldn’t go anywhere online or pay bills or access accounts.  It wants you to buy its software which of course only removes the bug it put on your computer in the first place.  Ingenious and insidious.  It even infiltrated facebook!  Since I couldn’t access the internet, I couldn’t download any anti-virus software specific to this program.  Someone said I needed to buy PC Tools Spyware Doctor; I went to Best Buy and they don’t sell it.  The only place you can get it is online, which of course I couldn’t do since I couldn’t get on the internet.  A catch-22.  I did Reiki and set intentions and everything else I could think of, but this morning when I woke up I was convinced I would have to trash my computer and re-build it.  This would be a pain in the neck for me because I have Vista so I wasn’t looking forward to it.  Lo and behold, I sat down at the computer this morning and no more pop ups, I got on the internet and ordered the program <of course I can’t use it until they send me the license key number but it’s a start>.  I still won’t access my bank accounts since it might still be active on my computer and laying passively in wait for that one perfect click where it gets me!  I hate being this vulnerable.  I have no idea where it came from; my daughter probably, when she wasn’t supposed to be on my computer and definitely wasn’t supposed to ever ever ever download anything to it.   Hmmmm, do you think she learned a lesson this time???????

I have been thinking recently about why curiosity and learning are so important to me, and why I seem to be attracted to such a wide variety of topics.  I think it has to do with the fact that we are already connected to source, so we essentially already know everything we need to know and learning is really just remembering what we forgot.   If we resonate with a speaker, we are just tuning into a familiar frequency.   

Books offer the same opportunity for learning.  They are like gifts wrapped in pretty paper just waiting for us to take the time to open them.  Currently I am reading about 10 books, and have been unable to finish any of them.  It seems like I pick up on the frequencies of the book depending on what I need at the moment.  I get attracted to a title or topic as something I need to learn when in reality it is probably something I already know since I resonate with it.     If I am already familiar with it, then I can relate to it more from a heart based center rather than an ego based mind.  Then I just integrate the frequency and attract what further reinforces the knowledge beyond the actual words.

I manifest abundance, prosperity, health and well-being as my natural birthright.

I easily let go of attachments, beliefs and behavior patterns that do not support my highest good.

I release all thoughts, words, actions and feelings I have ever expressed in any time frame or dimension that are based in lack or limitation.

I am grateful for the flow of universal abundance, which easily and gracefully meets my needs and the needs of others.

I am a money magnet, and my financial needs are being met before they happen.

I have more than enough money for everything I want.

I am abundantly provided for as I follow my path and do what I love.

I receive new money making ideas every day.

With grateful awareness, I receive all the gifts the universe has to give to me.

I am worthy of having my dreams come true.

I do what I love, and I love what I do.

I see my dreams with crystal clarity.

I am a genius and I apply my wisdom.

There is more money being printed for me right now

My financial needs are being met before they happen.

Financial abundance flows to me continually.

I receive unexpected gifts and checks in the mail.

Money falls like an avalanche over me.

Everything I touch turns to gold.

Money flows effortlessly to me.

I enjoy all the luxuries of life.

Resources are abundant around me.

I am generous and giving.

I have everything I need.

I am completely content.

I am always at the right place at the right time, meeting the right people and being offered the best opportunities

I am associated with people of character and vision that believe in what I offer and who have a genuine interest in making changes in their lives.

I have ongoing (passive) revenue streams constantly flowing to me.

Muscle Testing is a form of Applied Kinesiology. Since the body is electromagnetic , we can test the mind/body energy because every cell in the body has a positive and negative charge. Stress interferes with our ability to function effectively, so when we are under stress our muscles go weak.

The process is that very light pressure is applied to the client’s outstretched arms. The arms will either “hold strong” or “go weak” in response to words, images, objects held or silent attitudes being directed toward the client. Direct questions can be asked and the person’s “inner knowing” will give “yes” or “no” responses, similar to a lie detector. It uses the muscle resistance of the person’s arm to test the body’s reaction to various forms of energy.

A fun demonstration is to ask for a volunteer, explain the process to them and be sure it is okay with them to receive both positive and negative energy. I have them hold their arm straight out and to the side, and then ask a couple of test questions so they know what to expect as I push down on their arms.

Then the fun starts. I will blindfold them during the demonstration. Then I hold various items in a baggie close against the midsection of their body. If their body intelligence is in harmony with what I am placing in their energy field, their arm will remain firm, indicating “yes” and I will not be able to push it down, no matter how hard I push. If their body intelligence dislikes what I introduce into their energy field, their arm will weaken and lower when I push down on it, indicating the answer is “no”.

Now, with their eyes closed, I let the person hold the baggie containing something generally considered “healthy” like an apple in their energy field near the midsection of their body. The person’s body reads the energy of the apple, deciding whether or not it would be good for their body to have, and indicates that by the arm’s response. The body always knows what is good for it and what is not, energetically. In almost every case using an apple, when I push down, the arm stays firm, no matter how hard I push down.

Next, I let them hold something next to their mid-section generally considered unhealthy, like sugar, and again ask the body if this would be good for it. The arm almost always goes down.

Then, I have the audience direct a negative attitude toward the person being tested. The person is still blindfolded and unable to see or hear what I am doing. After a few moments of negative attitudes being sent, I push down on the person’s arm which always weakens and goes down.

Now, the audience sends love to the person I’m testing. A few minutes later, the arm is strong and can’t be lowered, demonstrating the power of love and positive energy. So, even when we are angry with someone, we can transform the situation with loving and peaceful thoughts. The most empowering and higher frequency thoughts are those of peace, joy, love, acceptance, trust and willingness. Your thoughts create your reality, so this is a powerful manifestation tool.

The best part of the demonstration is this: I have them hold the baggie with the sugar again, and when the audience sends love to the bag of sugar, after a few minutes the arm is firm and won’t budge. The negative energy of the sugar was transformed with love.

An additional tidbit of interesting information is that the thought that makes most people the weakest is shame, which produces humiliation so it is really important to forgive yourself. Thoughts of guilt and apathy are next, which produce emotions of blame and despair. Also, fear and anger make you weak, which move you away from love and into resentment and hate. So definitely monitor your thoughts and you can turn any situation into a more loving vibration.

I just organized a mastermind group locally and am amused and a little frustrated at the whole process.  I have done this before, but in a 3rd dimensional reality.  This particular group of women are all  in a 5th dimensional reality, so I am trying to create a new paradigm of coaching and teaching so they can resonate with it.  The resistance stems from semantics:  words like “accountability”, “effort”, “working the process” all make them want to run and hide.  Sometimes it’s a lot easier to go back to our comfort zone even if we are miserable there. 

We don’t need to analyze everything:  being the observer is the ideal way to respond when things “come up” and sometimes we get lucky and things change just by being taken out of the shadows and being seen.  I think that when something negative shows up in our lives it is feedback saying we are not in alignment and we are ready for change and for it to be cleared away.   I always look at challenges as opportunities for growth and change.

I believe that if you want to do something, you’ll find a way; if not, you’ll find an excuse.  Knowledge gives us the ability to perceive our reality in a different way, but first we need to accept where we are before we go somewhere else.    We can’t ignore the facts, but we can re-frame them in a more enlightened way.   We already have everything we desire;  we just need to eliminate the blocks that stop us from manifesting it.   So many people resist, which is why so few ever achieve their goals.  Successful people do what unsuccessful people won’t do.  If you feel yourself resisting, just recognize and acknowledge it.  Realize that it is probably unconscious, since 96% of what we do is ruled by the subconscious.  Then just feel your response, emotionally and physically.  If it feels bad, it is an illusion, but you need to feel it before you can heal it.

That’s why I think EssenceWork and SoulPoint are so wonderful.  Conscious awareness doesn’t change the program that was installed at age 5 or before; by analyzing what happened you are just reinforcing it.   Just clear away the blockages, re-install a new program, start with the present moment and go forward unencumbered!  So, we’ll see how all of this unfolds in the next 100 days … it should be an interesting ride!

The theory of cellular memory is that everything that happens to us is stored in the cells of our bodies, including both positive and traumatic events.  Healers sensitive to this phenomenon are able to touch or look at a person and sense the energy of events that happened in the person’s life, thereby being able to  go to the root cause of a physical issue and clear it for the client.  I went to a healer and body worker years ago, who was able to tell me that I lost my mother at a young age by touching my left leg.  Needless to say, he didn’t know anything about me or my life, so there was something that he was able to read in my energy field that told him this.  This and the additional knowledge he was able to read from my body totally fascinated me, and actually got me started in the healing field myself. 

Although the medical community calls this pseudoscientific, there are reports of recipients of organ transplants having unfamiliar memories that corresponded to the organ donor’s life.   For those who believe in reincarnation, there are many reports of events that happened in past lives being brought to the surface during past life regression therapy. 

I just always keep my mind open to all possibilities and have learned never to say “never” …

Your ideal teacher is actually your own life, but sometimes you don’t see the value in that at first so you look outside yourself for someone that you perceive to be at a higher level of enlightenment.  Ideally, you can turn to them when you need help, support and guidance if you have a relationship of mutual trust, honor and love.  Unfortunately sometimes when you resonate with someone, you have a tendency to give away your power to them or put them on a pedestal in exchange for their wisdom.  Resonance implies that if you see the quality in someone else, you have the same quality within yourself <both good and bad>, so you are drawn to the person because they mirror the parts of yourself that need and want to develop. 

Do allow them to share their knowledge, empower and inspire you to gain trust in your own inner teacher when you are ready.  Don’t expect them to spoon-feed you or take action for you.  Do show appreciation and respect to your mentor.   Don’t be afraid to ask for clarity, but be succinct in your questions.  Take notes; if you ask for their advice, don’t argue with it.  Let them know your results, in case your actions and thought processes need tweaking.

Note of caution:   Be wary if a teacher, mentor, workshop leader, coach, or healer seems to have an inflated sense of their own enlightenment and encourages dependence in their followers.  Sometimes it is based on the financial and emotional needs of the teacher, in which case they are not being wise and clear in regards to you and it is time for you to move on.

It also might just be time to sit in your own power and newfound trust in your intuition.  Just recognize that the people and situations you deal with every day have much to teach you if you are open to receive their wisdom.  Everyone is your teacher, even those who teach you by showing you what you don’t want to do.  Just set the intention daily to be wise enough to recognize the teachers and lessons that you encounter, and be open to receiving their wisdom. 

Variations of this are all over the internet, but I like this one:

1. THE GIFT OF LISTENING:  But, you must REALLY listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listen.

2. THE GIFT OF AFFECTION: Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.

3. THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER: Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories. Your gift will say, “I love to laugh with you.”

4. THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE:  It can be a simple “Thanks for the help” note or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime, and may even change a life.

5. THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT:   A simple and sincere, “You look great in red,” “You did a super job”, or “That was a wonderful meal” can make someone’s day.

6. THE GIFT OF A FAVOR:   Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.

7. THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE:   There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.

8. THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION:  The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone, really it’s not that hard, to say, “Hello” or “Thank You”.

9. THE GIFT OF ACCEPTANCE:  Everyone does the best they can with what they have to work with be it their head or their heart.

These gifts cost nothing, yet they may well be the most valuable gifts we can ever offer another person and can contribute toward whole and healthy relationships.
