Mindful Pathways

It is always nice to meet new friends, especially friends who work holistically as I do.  Meet Dr. Kimberly McGeorge, ND, CNH and host of The Secret to Everything radio show, airing each Wednesday 7-8pm EST on Blogtalkradio (www.serenitynaturalwellness.com).  I’ll be Kimberly’s guest Wednesday February 29th as we talk about energy medicine and other health related topics like Radical Self-Care.   ~Janet

“To be in your body is to be present…to be present is to be connected to the divine…” ~Mariel Hemingway

The definition of Mindfulness according to Wikipedia is “awareness”.   We are taught that in order to be “mindful”… our minds have to be in a constant flow of thoughts, ideas, opinions, judgments and impressions.  That is the epitome of awareness…we think.  Mindfulness is actually something of a conundrum.  What if…as an energy clearing statement I like to use says, “Everything is the opposite of what it appears to be?”  What if being mindful actually meant having a clear…still and quiet mind…not just in a state of meditation…but 100% of the time!

Everyone is interested in manifesting.   One of the most common tools being taught are how to visualize and state affirmations.  Those are wonderful tools but being truly mindful is like taking out the sharpest sword instead of using your kitchen paring knife.  You MUST learn this secret to be a powerful and effective manifestor.

The truth is…you are a powerful energetic antennae…receiving thoughts, pictures, sounds, impressions and ideas…from everywhere and everyone.  Because you hear these things “in your head”…you think they come from you.  This is fantastic if they aren’t obsessive or dark…or crazy.  Disturbing and distracting if they are.  So we meditate, pray and medicate our thoughts away…just so we can function from a semi peaceful place and “get through the day”.  What if those thoughts are really the people in the mall?  Your family…friends…or coworkers?

An easy tool to use to determine whose thought is whose is to say the statement out loud or to yourself…”Is this thought mine?” or “Whose thought is this?”.  This question breaks the energy enough to where if this thought isn’t yours…it will 9 out of 10 times…simply disappear.  If you practice this exercise for 3-5 days…you will experience a new stillness that I doubt you have EVER felt….even in the depths of meditation or yoga.

In order to reclaim your personal power and guidance and to have the SPACE to create…you MUST come from a QUIET mind.  Then…there is the space for CREATION and INSPIRATION to flow to you from the Universe.  For God and the Universe want to gift you the most magical existence where you create the magic in your life.

Practice having a still mind 100% of the time and you will find you have been handed another secret key to powerful manifestation.

When we think of mindful living, we tend to think of the life we are living now. We don’t think about our ancestral history, but our history is a large and important part of getting to know our deepest self.  Whether you believe in other lives or not, most of us admit that our cells contain the DNA of our ancestors along with the memory of some of their life experiences, food preferences, heart aches, illnesses and joys.

“Many emotional, mental, and even physical problems have roots in the outer layers of the human energy field. When a symptom is unresponsive to standard treatments for that disorder, we need to look deeper into the energy matrix to find the invisible root that keeps regenerating the problem. The Soul Detective™ method is an assessment method using five levels of healing and a treatment method from energy psychology that rebalances the flow of energy through the meridian system.”

Most of the information above is taken from http://souldetective.net and written by my friend and Soul Detective™ mentor Dr. Barbara Stone, a psychotherapist in private practice.  A multi-gifted woman,  she composed and recorded beautiful words and music to accompany the soul stories in the first 20 chapters of her award winning book Invisible Roots. “Each chapter is a short case history including a song composed for a character to convey the depth of emotion of these adventures interfacing with the spiritual realm.”

Dr. Bernie Siegel, MD has this to say about Invisible Roots:
“I know from experience the truth which this book reveals. I would ask everyone to read it with an open mind and see how it provides you with a better understanding of your life and who you are today. The knowledge it provides can help you to heal your life experience and become your authentic self. Your past created you, but it can be abandoned if it was destructive. Invisible Roots can be your guide to freedom and the blossoming of your true self.”
~ Bernie Siegel, MD, www.berniesiegelmd.com, author of Love, Magic & Mudpies and 365 Prescriptions for the Soul

This article first appeared in Sibyl Magazine, February-March 2012 issue.  I thought you might enjoy reading it too.  

EACH NEW YEAR WE ARE REBORN. The slate is clean. You choose the canvas, the medium, the brush and you’ll paint 2012 with your own colors. The result of your art, the final product, is up to you.

You build your new year one brush stroke, one thought at a time. Regardless of your past history, regardless of the problems you face today, your finances and the quality of your life, you choose how you live your life. You choose the thoughts you think, the beliefs you live by and the actions you take regarding your thoughts and beliefs.

Who I spend time with is up to me. I choose to keep my life positive, forming my inner circle with positive people I love and trust. I choose to live in unity with my loving spiritual family. I enjoy receiving support and wisdom from them, learning something new almost every day. I choose to do the work I am asked to do, remembering to ask them “What do you need from me today?”

My meditation takes many forms, and I often interact with my spiritual family in informal ways. As I opened my eyes this morning, talking with my family, I was reminded it was time to write this article, and I was given the opening words. I walked directly to my computer, because I knew the words would not stay with me for very long, they were intended for now. As the day goes on I might be with them in formal meditation. At the office, I’ll consciously chat with them to ask a question or say thank you. They may touch base with me, telling a little joke to lighten a tense moment. They are as much a part of me as my husband, daughters and grandchildren.

The concept of family is the same whether physical or spiritual in nature. The key words for positive, conscious contact with spiritual family are love, mutual support, trust, and unity. If you choose to know your spiritual family, they will make themselves known to you and be present for you in a way you can accept. They are as real as your breath, and are with you whether you are aware of their presence or not. It is up to you to determine how much conscious time you spend with them. When asked, they teach you whatever you need to learn. My lessens have been confidence and trust, understanding the concept of limitlessness and fully embracing the importance of positive thought. My positive thought instruction continues every day, yet it is up to me to think the positive thoughts that bring positive outcomes into being.

How are you Re-birthing in 2012?  If you can think it and trust, it will be.

Today’s post is by my friend and colleague Life Coach and author Sheri Kaye Hoff.  Please enjoy this excerpt from her new book- Be the Inspiration: 7 Ways to Inspire Your World.  Thank you Sheri for writing this book and including my story along with the touching and inspirational stories of other men and women.  You have raised the bar and birthed a book that is already creating positive change for thousands of our fellow travelers.  I loved reading it and I know others will too.  ~Janet

Sheri Kaye Hoff

Developing your I-story is a key to making an impact in your professional and personal life.  Your I-story is all about you; it is all about your authentic you.

It’s important to know and be who you really are. If I say to someone, “Tell me about you”, that is the question that gets just about everyone flustered. It is because we sometimes have a hard time looking at ourselves or have a hard time knowing what the authentic self is really or what our message really is because we have layers and levels of ourselves.

There are different roles that we play in our lives and different things that we think we should do, but it is important to find the authentic you because that is how others resonate with you in the most powerful way.

It is your story that makes you unique. People like YOU. They do not want a version of you that is a copy of someone else, and it is vitally important to your leadership skills to be that authentic person. It is important if you own your own business. It is important, if you are a co-worker- if you are a colleague.

Be your authentic self because people intuitively know when you are being the authentic you and when you are not.

In my own story I talk about when I was a teenager, my younger brother took his own life. I came home from school when I was 17 years old and I found my 15 year old brother after he had killed himself, and it was a terrible, tragic shock. Prior to this devastating event, we had kind of a story book family. He was not in trouble or even depressed for a prolonged period. It was a total shock. This had a tremendous impact on our community and my family. I floundered for about seven years before I started to effectively put the pieces of my life back together.

This event in my life is part of my I-story and when I became comfortable with sharing that part of my life, my coaching practice grew. People want to know about your pain and struggles. They want to know that you triumphed. They want to know who you really are.

Today’s post is rather long, but I thought you might enjoy an excerpt from my new book, Nurturing Wellness Through Radical Self-Care: A Living in Balance Workbook. The mindfulness excerpt fits well into our overall theme and is one of the philosophies that combine perfectly to help you create inner harmony and a increasingly more positive, relaxed approach to life. I hope you find the information helpful. ~Janet

Mindfulness has become popular in the United States as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). MBSR education began in 1979, developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center.  Mindfulness refers to a calm and peaceful approach to life and has the ultimate goal of creating a mindfulness life-style, meaning a relaxed, intellectually, emotionally, spiritually aware way of life. MBSR combines mindfulness and Yoga, both flowing from Eastern healing and spiritual philosophies. Both mindfulness and yoga concentrate on breathing and the creation of inner alignment and fitness. In our work, we’ll combine mindfulness, energy psychology, journaling and the use of affirmations. I believe this combination of approaches is an exceptional way to create inner harmony and the integration of mind, body, spirit and emotion. The incorporation of the Radiant Circuits, known as the circuits of joy, helps harmonize every system within your body, establishing and maintaining your relaxation response, creating a sense of well-being and inner peacefulness.

During the REB Nurturing Wellness Through Radical Self-Care program, we work to achieve a mindful life-style. A Mindful life-style is defined by the the following ideals:

• Conscious connection to self and creation
• Conscious decision making with clear awareness
• Living a now-focused life
• Living in gratitude
• Understanding the mutuality of all life
• Living in harmony with each other and the world around us
• Positive self-worth and good self-confidence
• A feeling of self-love and connection with life, others and the all living things

The main ingredient of a mindful life-style is positive thought. Positive mindful thought is based in the principles of unconditional love and is achieved when:

• Each thought has a positive intention
• Each thought has positive content
• Each thought produces a positive outcome for self, others and for all life in general.
Information adapted from Pathways to Wholeness by Janet Nestor (2010)

Every word we think or speak is a type of energy and creates either a positive or negative frequency (charge) within and around us. As we mentioned earlier when we discussed the use of the word healing, the frequencies we create with our words and thoughts affect our decisions, relationships, employment, our successes, our failures, our health and wellness. Have you ever walked into a room and just “felt” the negativity so strongly you wanted to turn around and run? Maybe you have approached someone at a social function to introduce yourself and felt a barrier that said very clearly you were not to approach them. Instead of extending your hand in greeting you merely said hello and turned your attention elsewhere. Have you walked into the home of a new friend and instantly felt welcomed, not only by their greeting, but by the cozy feeling and the positive energy that permeated every nook and corner of every room. These scenarios illustrate the diverse experience of coming into contact with a negative, low frequency energetic situation and a positive high frequency situation. The difference is immediately experienced in our entire mind-body-spirit system.

Positive thoughts help us construct a positive life, one thought at a time. Most of us have thoughts that are not entirely positive. Some of us have some very negative beliefs about ourselves and about life. Neutral thoughts do not have a frequency strong enough to create a positive life.

Neutral statement: I feel OK, I guess. It is just one of those crazy days.
Positive statement: I am grateful for today and for the challenges I’ll encounter.

The word “worry” is both a word and a frequency. “Grateful” is both a word and a frequency. Worry has a very low frequency vibration causing us to feel anxious, heavy and depressed. Grateful is a high frequency word causing positive emotional responses that lighten our mood. The initial felt heaviness created by the worry frequency creates concern, and suddenly we have established a negative thought chain. All the created negativity has us moving emotionally down hill at the speed of light. We are caught up in worry and begin to worry about the worry and the anxiety it creates. Unless we break our negative thought chain we stay caught up in it. How many times have I been asked “How do I stop worrying?” I usually say that there is a way out of worry addiction. And there is. It is my hope that the growth opportunities in this book will help you move out of worry and into a new freedom.

Living and learning are process activities. A process activity is one that progresses in natural steps. We learn step one, grasping its full implications. We move to step two, understand it and have the ability to apply it in our daily life. We move to step three, and as we acquire understanding and the ability to apply it to our lives, we move to step four. We move ahead at our own pace, one step at a time, one day at a time. We live in process. Ann Wilson Shaef discusses the art of living in process in her book by the same name:  Living in Process (1999).  She is one of the premier writers in the field of addictions and co-depencency. Three of her notable books are: (1) 365 Mediations for People Who Worry Too Much; (2) Beyond Therapy, Beyond Science: A New Model for Healing the Whole Person; and (3) Co-Dependence: Mistreated-Misundersood.

When living in process, we gradually learn to live our best life. We all want to live within freedom, hope, and unconditional love, but we don’t always know how to make that happen. The first step is to understand what it means to live within these great, high frequency virtues. When we live within freedom, hope and unconditional love, we strive to achieve the following environment within our personal life, especially within our family life. Ideally, each family member will:

• think and act in positive ways
• honor the natural interdependence of family life
• allow independence within family togetherness
• live each day with a hopeful, joyous heart
• develop a positive sense of self, including worthiness
• experience a sense of belonging
• make loving, appropriate, reality-based decisions
• be accountable for their behavior
• ask for support when wanted and needed
• embrace peacefulness
• offer and receive respect
• feel safe
• trust
• enjoy emotional intimacy with family, friends
• enjoy emotional intimacy within our romantic relationship
• feel compassion for dysfunctional family members, current and past
• believe in our personal power and ability to write our own life story
• live within our healthy belief system
• have fun and laugh a lot
• live within a healthy life plan, one day at a time
• love deeply, wisely, with joy and passion
Pathways to Wholeness Janet Nestor (2010 )

During the 90 day Nurturing Wellness Through Radical Self-Care program you’ll use a Mindful Journal Page to record your experiences working with Mindful Meditation, REB and The Nurturing Wellness Affirmations. You’ll be tracking your moods and jotting down a daily gratitude that helps
you create a positive outlook for your day. You’ll be using the Self-Care First! page to help you plan and participate in activities that give you much needed social contact and positive, effective exercise. Exercise does not mean you have to take up jogging or go to the gym everyday. Exercise can mean walking up and down the stairs 2 times in a row, going for a meditative walk each day or doing some deep breathing and stretching. If bed ridden, it can mean imagining yourself going for a walk and enjoying nature. There is some research evidence that indicates that imagining yourself exercising and moving around freely has positive psychological and physical benefits.

During the Nurturing Wellness Through Radical Self-Care Groups at the Center of Well- Being, each session begins with a mindful meditation and closes with each person stating a positive intention for the week. Since you’ll be doing the Nurturing Wellness Relaxation and Release work, you’ll want to stay in balance by listening to the mindful meditations that are included in the Guidebook and writing about them in your mindfulness meditation journal. You can find them recorded for you on the Mindfulpathways meditations page.

New book coming late winter 2012

It was a lucky day when Phil Warren, a Canadian professor of psychology and music came into my life.   Phil and I were members of a professional energy psychology list serve and he was introducing his new baby, Radiant Energies Balance.  At the time REB was a self-help energy psychology with the ability to create a relaxation deep enough to balance the autonomic nervous system and get stressed out folks out of the fight or flight response.  Phil needed professionals to test drive REB in their office, and I and an hypnotherapist from England and a psychologist from France answered the call.  What we ended up with is an brilliant energy psychology that has the ability to multi-task.

Phil’s baby has grown up and is the basis of my new book, Nurturing Wellness Through Radical-Self-Care, a book I had no intention of writing.  I’d been working hard on an energy healing book, The Spirit of Healing, and REB is a small part of that book as it was in Pathways to Wholeness, published in 2010.  I expected The Spirit of Healing to be published in early 2012, however, there was a spiritual intervention and my inner guides wanted this book published first.  I had to gather bits and pieces of work I’d done since 2006 and for about a year, Nurturing Wellness Through Radical Self-Care has been in development, struggling and yearning to be born.  The birthing process has begun, labor is escalating and the birth of the book is imminent.

Nurturing Wellness is dedicated to my two beautiful daughters and to all those who seek a balanced, healthier, happier, more relaxed, self-aware life.  In order to help seekers live healthier, happier, more relaxed self-aware lives, the book combines Radiant Energies Balance, Mindful Mediation, the use of Affirmations and Journaling with an easy to use, self-directed and comprehensive self-care program that has flexibility built into its structure.

Let me leave you with the Napoleon Hill quote that begins the Nurturing Wellness Affirmations chapter and the little poem that ends the book. By the way, Napoleon Hill, born in 1893, was one of the earliest American personal success writers.

 “Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire that transcends everything”   ~ Napoleon Hill

Today

I choose to live in harmony

With self
With life
With others
With nature
With earth
With spirit
With Creation.

Amen

Sometimes crazy thoughts come to my mind just because of the title.  We humans are so doubters.  We say things like: You Raise Me Up?  What? Who raises me up?  I don’t understand!  Why?  When I get Raised Up, how long do I have to wait before I begin to feel better?

Is You Raise Me Up talking about God?  I guess the interpretation is up to you and me.  Maybe it is describing the love of a trusted friend, parent, life partner.  A good relationship, spiritual or otherwise, is a relationship that is dependable, honest, loyal and strong no matter what is going on.  A good relationship gives you and I the courage to grow, fix our mistakes and try again.  It eases the weight of our troubles and offers a loving hand, all without asking for anything in return or passing judgment.  Not all relationships accomplish these ideals, but the lyrics illustrate a relationship each of us longs to experience.

The lyrics are similar to words that I’d use while journaling after a meditative experience, my words being simpler,  but no less meaningful.  The feeling of calm, inner strength are two of the benefits of meditation that I cherish.

2012 is about positive change, being the best we can be as individuals and as a human race.  Happy 2012 and may your year be all that you want it to be.

You Raise Me UP  Music by Rolf Levland, Lyrics by Brendan Graham

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, 
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.

There is no life – no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
 sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.

You raise me up… To more than I can be.

We are so lucky to have the opporutinity to welcome Becky Henry as our guest blogger. She is the Author of Just Tell Her to Stop, an award winning book for families who care for an member with an eating disorder.  She is the founder of Hope Network a wonderful support sommunity.  I recommend her book to clients with eating disorders and also to their family members as it is the only book of its kind on the market.

Families living with an eating disorder can find the holidays extra challenging with all the focus on food. There are so many different stresses and foods that can be frightening for people facing eating disorders.

Two years ago I got to have a conversation with Peter McClellan on his radio show 401k Latte about eating disorders at the holidays. We talked about the huge spreads of food that can be overwhelming and stress inducing. Take a listen:  http://www.kkmslive.com/MP3/PM_12_23_09.mp3

Peter asked some great questions to open up the conversation about how both parents and health care providers can support someone with an eating disorder. A few things we talked about were:

• As family member; put on your oxygen mask first-make a Top Ten list and do 1 self-care/fun thing each day.
• Family members can help by: Learning to let go with love (easier said than done).
• Don’t make comments about other people’s bodies.
• Low fat – Low Calorie diets backfire – they don’t work – 95% failure rate.
• Language from health care providers is important – telling patients to lose weight not only doesn’t help – it hurts.
• Health care providers can ask open ended questions about what a patient’s health care goals are can enroll the patient in the process of making healthy choices.
• The book: Just Tell Her to Stop can be ordered at:  JustTellHerToStop.com
• Weight-ism is alive and well –notice our judgments about sizes.
• People can be healthy at many different sizes.
• Focus on overall health to achieve your health goals.
• Insurance and eating disorders coverage – Academy for Eating Disorders works for mental health parity.
• College professors can add the book to their curriculum as required reading.
• Companies are invited to purchase the books to donate to eating disorders treatment centers.

What have you heard from your health care provider that has backfired for you? What comments have you found helpful while recovering from an eating disorder?

I hope you will focus on what you are grateful for this holiday season and have peace.

Welcome our guest blogger Dr. Indrani Maity, ND DAy.  Dr. Indrani Maity has been practicing a combination of Ayurveda, Naturopathy and Clinical nutrition for the last 10 years.  Ayurveda and Naturopathy encompasses the best of both the holistic worlds of the east and west.  Her unique approach to health and healing have helped many to discover the root cause of their life and health challenge, and to address it effectively.

I’d like to share some possible causes of insomnia, and suggested protocols using Young Living’s all natural products.

“A friend suggested that I try using the essential oil of valerian for sleep, so I decided to do a little research.  The National Institutes of Health has a website devoted to Valerian for Insomnia and Sleep Disorders.  I was just amazed how much clinical investigation there was on the properties of this essential oils.  What I read about valerian was that it was very highly regarded as an all-natural sedative.  What I learned about valerian from using it was that it is calming, relaxing, balancing, and a sleep aid.  Just an aside, Valerian Root is generally regarded as safe (GRAS) for injestion by the FDA.  I would make sure the oil you use is therapeutic grade. “  (John Rosenberger, Moses Lake, Washington)

It is estimated that Americans spend $94 Billion dollars, every year, on our Sleep Disorders!

Lack of sleep builds up a “sleep debt,” which makes people feel tired during the day and may lead to a variety of health consequences. Sleep debt is the cumulative amount of lost sleep. For example, if the average daily amount of sleep you need is eight hours, sleeping six hours a night during the work week creates a sleep dept of 10 hours. If you sleep an extra two hours on Saturday and Sunday, you will still have a sleep debt of six hours. If you sleep only 6 hours a night for a year, you will have built up a sleep debt of 726 hours – a full month of missed sleep.  The prevalence of sleep debt in America is reaching epidemic proportions. More than half of the adult population in the United States is carrying a sleep debt:

• 58% of adults experience symptoms of insomnia a few nights or more per week
• 35% of adults report at least one symptom of insomnia every night or almost every night

Possible Root Causes of Insomnia:

• Toxic Liver – Surprisingly, this is one of the highest known causes of Insomnia that occurs between 1-3 a.m. Liver Cleansing will help here!
• Fear – Most common contributor to Nightmares and Restless Sleep.
• Diet – Certain foods aggravate insomnia and eating past 5:00 p.m. disallows enough time and enzymatic activity to properly digest food.
• Hormonal Imbalance -  Lack of Melatonin and other key hormones can trigger insomnia through hot flashes, depression, irregular heart rate, etc.
• Stress -  Stress must be managed from the Limbic Region of the Brain.
• ADD-ADHD – Children and Adults suffer from sleepless nights because of excess hyperactivity.
• Pain – Annoying; Debilitating; Throbbing.  Pain is a top contributor to insomnia and restless sleep.
• Weakened Immune System – Minute viruses and parasites can keep you awake!
• Excitement/Anxiety – Too much of a good thing can be too much even for the seasoned “Sheep Counters!”

“I use Essential Oil of Cedarwood on my feet before I go to bed and sleep like a baby!  It stimulates the pineal gland which releases natural Melatonin.  I feel this is also good for the brain since Cedarwood is high in sesquiterpenes [brain food].  I have also used Alkalime and Lavender for sleep….love it.” -  (Jackie K., Hemphill, Texas)

“WHEN YOUR SENSE OF SELF IS NO LONGER TIED TO THOUGHT, is no longer conceptual, there is a depth of feeling, of sensing, of compassion, of loving, that was not there when you were trapped in mental concepts.  You are that depth.”   ~ Eckhart Tolle

You are that depth.  You have within you an inner oasis, a place of harmony and love.  It is there to provided you with the comforting feelings of self-love, including the feelings of peacefulness.

We all have a memory, or an experience that defines peacefulness for us.  Can you remember a special moment when things came together perfectly and you felt absolute peace?  Maybe you were a child playing alone in your tree house.  Maybe you were holding your new born baby in your arms.  Maybe you were walking along the sea shore watching the waves roll in and out.  Whenever it was, whatever you were doing, you’ll never forget that sensation, the feelings of unity, joy and safety.  And because you felt it, you know it is possible.  You want to feel the same peacefulness, the same unity and love over and over again.  You desire to live within those feelings.

I have a memory that seems impossible and is little more than a somatic snapshot of awareness – a gift that continues to inspire my journey.  I was a baby, not yet walking.  I was placed on my back on a blanket spread on the ground under a big tree.  I can remember a woman’s legs and her skirt moving about.  Then I was alone.  My whole world was the blanket, the leaves dancing overhead, the warm sunshine and the blue sky.  As I lay there watching the leaves dance about, looking at the blue sky, something happened.  I merged with creation.  I became complete bliss and contentment – perfect peacefulness.  The experience was so powerful it etched itself into my consciousness.  This little snapshot of awareness is always there to remind me of my ideal state of being…the state of innocent oneness.  Perfect peacefulness within.

This new year, 2012, is a mystical year, a year of peace, transformation and rebirth.  Let it be your rebirth.  Shine your light.  Let peace grow within your heart and shine out into the world.  The more your light shines, the better you feel.  The better you feel the more contentment and peacefulness you experience.  The more contentment and peacefulness you experience, the more your light shines … and the process continues to evolve into infinity…each one of us in a beautiful cycle of peacefulness, each heart shining.  The world shifting and becoming peaceful, one person at a time.

Wishing you a Happy Holiday
&
Peacefulness Within during 2012
