Weekend Book Love

July 23rd, 2010

Happy Friday!!

If you’re looking for some weekend reading, then boy do I have a book for you!

Clearing for the Millennium by Albert Clayton Gaulden

I was drawn to this book when I picked it up.  It virtually jumped off the shelf at me.  Okay, so it didn’t jump, but it WAS sticking out further than the others and grabbed my eye right away.

The first thing that held me captive was the tag line across the top, “We are all fallen angels.”  I’ve been exploring the “fallen angel” concept lately as I’ve been reading A Course in Miracles.
The forward to the book is written by James Redfield (author of  The Celestine Prophecy ~ Another book I LOVED!!) and the word “Sedona” is on the cover.  Those points sealed the deal and into my bag this book went.

I experienced synchronicity after synchronicity while reading this book.  It was an amazing angle on God, angels, the Universe,  LOA, Spirituality, truth, integrity, authenticity, and psychological dysfunction.

Yes, it’s another Spiritually angled self help book, but yet, it’s not.  It’s a story of His journey, of His path, of His realizations.  It’s a story with the same aim as my telling of my own story.  To help anyone on a similar path find their own way Home.

It’s also brought me to a place where I feel compelled to seek and allow contact with my own higher self/holy spirit/spirit guide.  Pick a name of your own.  There are many titles they carry :)

I hope you’ll grab this book and give it a perusal.  It was riveting and took me only about 3 days to read.  I was regretful putting it down when I had to and am a little sad that as of this morning, I’ve finished it.  Yes, one of those books that you enjoy so much, you wish it’d taken longer to read.  Don’tcha just love that?!

Have a fantastic weekend!!

My affirmation until Sunday, 7-25-10 on the Full Moon~
As I focus upon being happy, all other joy filled things in my life expand*

Book Love

July 5th, 2010

Happy Monday Cyber World!

I have been experiencing some really fantastic reading lately.  It’s been a very long time since I’ve felt drawn to read, but as per my recent funk, I’ve been doing a lot of reading.  Of course, it’s really no big surprise that my great and sudden urge to read came right on schedule and has brought me to some of the most wonderful reading material of my life.  Wonderful reading material that I was in exactly the right place for at exactly the right time.

I’ve experienced such leaps in thought over the past two to three weeks, I’ve found it truly quite astounding.

I want to share with you these books.  A seeker is always seeking and new, recommended reading material is generally a very welcome thing, so here goes…
Creative Responsibility by C. Thomas Sikking

Mirror Therapy: A Spiritual Journey into Your Subconscious by Limor Zohar

&

A Course in Miracles

If you are looking for some non-fiction, summer reading with a Spiritual vein to it, these are fantastic.  As a side note, I read the above in the order in which they are written down, and in retrospect I can see that I read them in the perfect order to receive their messages properly.  Properly for Me.

I’m off to the library to see what other treasures I can find!  Have a fantastic Monday!!

My affirmation until 7-11-10 on the New Moon~

My life is a reflection of my thoughts. I will think on Joy filled things*

Happy New Moon

June 12th, 2010

Good morning my friends!!

I’ve been feeling very inspired to make some changes in my life lately.  I could feel it as we were inching closer to the New Moon and so I decided that this is the day I will begin.  I’m going to start my day by cleaning by the front door.  The area inside the door, the porch outside the door, the door itself, and it’s window.  Then I’m going to take my broom out and sweep.

This is a symbolic ritual for clearing a path for all my new manifestations and abundance to get in.  It’s all about intention and focus.  I love the sweeping most.  Knowing that with each swipe of my broom, I’m clearing out the old, stale energy and making clear a path and inviting in the new, creative energy!

Good ground work for beginning a new moon cycle.

I will also sit down today and make a new goal list.  Big things, little things, all of it!  We must acknowledge what we’re looking for or it can’t find us!

Below are three things that are at the very top of my list this month.  These are the things that I intend to focus upon most this cycle.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

Firstly, I’ve been doing some EFT, hit and miss, for a couple weeks now.  I’ve been watching Brad Yate’s Tap O the Morning and I’m going to spin off from that and do my own EFT.

I’ve made a setup statement for Chakra Clearing which I’m going to start doing before my morning yoga.  I figure it would be nice to have a balanced energy upon beginning.  I’ve also made a setup statement for a “Great Day” round of tapping for after yoga and one for before bed to help me sleep soundly and restfully.

I know it seems like a lot, but a round of tapping only takes about 2 minutes, total time.  I think EFT is like any other daily practice.  Super easy to do and in no way time consuming.  We as humans tend toward failure just because we believe it can’t be THAT easy, and then we walk around looking for ways to make it harder.

I am going to commit to doing EFT every day for the next 28-30 days.  Ha! I know, how can you “commit” when you don’t even know how long you will be “committing” for?  I’m going to start today on the New Moon and continue until the next New Moon.  After that, I’ll see how I feel about it.

Secondly, I’m going to commit to doing my yoga every morning.  Here’s another thing that I enjoy doing, enjoy the benefits of, but can never nail down a regular practice.  Today will be day one of my 30 day, every day, yoga practice.  Even if I only roll through a sun salutation once or twice, I WILL do SOME yoga.  My body loves to bend and stretch and my mind enjoys the love and the focus.

The last large burst of self discipline I displayed was just over 4 years ago when I quit smoking cigarettes cold turkey and never turned back.  I feel almost as though it took so much effort that I have no discipline left!  As a stay-at-home mom, self discipline has never been high on my list of needs.  I have all the time in the world and all the things in the world to do.  They all get done when they get done.  I want to feel more in control of myself.  I want more self discipline in my life.  I want more routine.

What better time to focus on what I want to bring into my life than on the New Moon as the light is about to begin building!?

Lastly, for now at least..lol.. I’m going to be more mindful of the energy I project into the things I do.  I’ve got my new morning routine nailed down.  1) Chakra clearing EFT   2) yoga   3) great day EFT    Number 4 on this list is a quick set of morning chores that I blow through in the morning.  *Sift cat litter, feed cats, feed dogs, pick up bathroom, make my bed and pick up for 2 in my bedroom, empty dishwasher, load laundry*

I go through this list so mindlessly that sometimes I’ll stop later in the day and am unable to remember if I even DID my chores that morning.  No more.  I want to be mindful of myself and my thoughts and my energy projection while I complete my morning tasks.

Why shouldn’t I take the 3 minutes it takes to make my bed and focus my energy on it?  Focus upon how wonderful my marriage is and how in love I am and what a great husband I’ve been blessed with.  I mean, I think about those things anyway, why not project all that wonderful energy right into the bed I share with my husband?

And the animals!  When I feed and sift and care for them, why shouldn’t I focus upon how much I adore them?  Or upon their health and well being.

I know deep in my soul that I can literally accomplish anything with desire and intention.  I feel like I’m wasting my energy by just letting it drain out and not projecting it somewhere.  No more.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

I hope you’re taking advantage of this New Moon to begin creating something great in your life!  All it takes is a little focus and knowing what you want.  What are you waiting for?

* * * * * * * * * * *

My affirmation until 6-26-10~ I am a powerful creator manifesting form with pure thought.
