This weeks quote comes from a book I love by Joan Anderson. She has written several books about her journey of self discovery.
Such is my morning ritual, nothing terribly complicated unless I’ve forgotten to bring logs in from the woodpile the night before. I’m deep into my time-out season of life, where it seems best to be actively passive, involved in little, aware of much. Instinct told me to take myself away and look at all the unwrapped gifts nature has to offer. The natural world is hibernating and so am I.

My Friday quote comes from Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth, pg 161.
The beginning of freedom from the pain-body lies first of all in the realization that you have a pain body. Then, more important, in your ability to stay present enough, alert enough, to notice the pain-body in yourself as a heavy influx of negative emotion when it becomes active.

Ask and It is Given Learning to Manifest Your Desires By: Esther and Jerry Hicks (The Teachings of Abraham) is a book that has the potential to transform your life. I’ve read other books by Esther and Jerry Hicks and I have found them very useful and filled with insights. Wow, I wish I’d picked this book up sooner. Everything happens for a reason and in this time, this moment I was ready for the book’s message and it’s exercises. For years I’ve heard people talk about raising your vibrational level, of shifting your energy to transform situations in your life. I have meditated off and on for fourteen years and in the last few years, since attending a Metaphysical Church I have come to have a much deeper understanding of how this works and how I can create these changes in my life.

Recently I was reading a passage from Neale Donald Walsch’s book, “Home With God” and I was struck by the words. His books are all messages from God/Spirit, if you have read any of his many books you are aware of this. The passage that grabbed me follows. It leaves much to think about as we go through our day and life.

Louise Hay you can Heal your life.
I have written about this movie, “you can Heal your life” previously on my site. I watched the interview portion of the dvd with Louise Hay again tonight. I was looking to gain some additional insight for my own life. As I listened I was touched over and over by her words and her inspiring thoughts. I replayed the interview about four times so that I could get each of these quotes. Her words and her thoughts are so deeply moving and inspiring that I wanted to share them here on my web site.

The True Power of Water By: Masaru Emoto is a book that I find deeply interesting and that I recommend. It is one of several books that Masaru Emoto has written on the effects of vibration, energy, prayer and thought on water. When I was flipping through it this morning, reading randomly I came across a piece I wanted to share. Along with this is a YouTube video with Dr. Emoto
A family that subscribed to our magazine conducted an interesting experiment. They put the rice in two glass jars and every day for a month said “Thank you” to one jar and “You fool” to the other, and then they tracked how the rice changed over the period. After a month the rice that was told Thank you started to ferment, with a mellow smell like that of malt, while the rice that was exposed to You fool, rotted and turned black. Pg 97

Last week my 25 year old daughter, Monique, called me from Kentucky, tired, overwhelmed, frustrated and worried. She was preparing for the “GRILL”, which was the test all employees have to take to move forward in her company. There were topics from “accounting” to “everything you think you might need to know”. You went from department to department being “grilled” about what that particular department did, and their relationship to other departments. The goal of the “griller” is to hit you and hit you hard. One in particular had a reputation of making the “grillee” cry. The pressure was on. As an employee she works an average of 55 hours per week, plus she’s a new mom with a three month old son. She and her husband share duties, but as most women know, we are usually the overall caregiver of the family.
So, here we are two days before the “grill” and she’s a wreck. With both she and her husband as recent college grads they both found great jobs, she at a national car rental company, and he at a multinational company. They both make a decent salary, but with car notes, rent, baby everything, and huge student loans, they frankly needed the money passing this test would provide. Needless to say, a lot was riding on the outcome of this test.
