I’ll Keep You in My Prayers

August 31st, 2010

How many times have I heard someone say that? Probably thousands.

I have to wonder though, just what are they doing when they are keeping me in their prayers. How do they hold me in their prayers. What image do I take in their mind as they pray for me?

It’s occurred to me recently that the image one holds in their mind as they pray is probably more important than the actual prayer itself.

After I read the book Mirror Therapy back in July, I began doing this meditation. It’s not something from the book, but it uses things I learned about in the book.

So if you ever hear me say that I will pray for you… this is what you’re signing up for.

The basic premise is, once I go into a relaxed state, I see my “soul mirror,” which I’ve constructed in my own imagination and is unique to only me. When I look in my soul mirror, I see my soul looking back at me. Basically my soul looks exactly like me, only perfect. Glowing. Beautiful. Untouched. Unharmed. Ageless. Angelic even.

I imagine my soul looking back at me with complete love and acceptance, smiling with warmth. I send love and light into my soul mirror and my soul radiates love and light back at me.

Now, I choose another person. Someone whom I am wanting to “pray” for. I see their soul looking back at me from their own unique soul mirror. Just like mine, their soul looks like the perfect, ageless, beautiful, angelic Being that they truly are. They are smiling out at me with the same warmth and love as in my mirror. I behold the image of their beauty and perfection and once again send love and light into their mirror, bathing them in love. I feel the same energy radiating from their souls back to me.

I have come to believe that when Jesus walked through towns and healed people, it was a variation of THIS prayer that he used.

I’ve heard some current day gurus philosophize that the reason Jesus could heal people in that way was because he didn’t see the malady. He saw only the pure, perfect child of God that is the reality, and therefore by the laws of consciousness, the lesser vibration of the diseased had to rise and meet that of the healer. He literally injected them with love, light, and complete faith in their well-being.

My grandmother was rather ill a while back and I said I’d pray for her. How could I do her any good at all by holding the image of an ailing person in my mind and begging for her health. The first thing that comes to mind is that, you should always hold the image of what you want to see in your mind. So right there has me seeing her healthy. The second thing is, I would never request her healing or regained health. Those are back-words for disease. I asked that she maintain her healthy balance and be vibrant and happy.

Only I didn’t ask. I didn’t see her perfection in her mirror and say, “Dear God, please bring my grandma her healthy balance and make her vibrant and healthy.”

If I said that, I would be praying to a God that is outside of me. The divinity is within.

Within the act of SEEING her as who she TRULY is…. her SOUL… and seeing her in that perfect state of Being, the request exists. Only it’s not even a request, because to request something implies the possibility of the lack of fulfillment, but in praying this way, I find that there IS no possibility of lack of fulfillment. That IS her soul. It IS perfect and whole and the total sum of all she has the potential to be. It already IS fulfilled.

I believe that seeing the souls of the people I pray for and knowing that what I see, literally already IS sure amps up the “faith” part of the equation.

When I pray for you, I do not see what you could potentially be or have. I see a representation of the divine force within you, and encourage you to recognize it for yourself by projecting love to it and helping it grow.

*How do you pray?

Manifesting Amazing Health

August 17th, 2010

It’s truly amazing to me, the depth of health and wellness that I am feeling within my own body!

Before, I couldn’t eat anything until at LEAST eleven o’clock every morning. I would always say, “I just can’t eat in the morning. I’m not a breakfast person.”

Turns out, I AM a breakfast person. I wake up hungry now! Not raw or achy or acidy… but hungry!

I used to have a headache every day. I know it sounds like I must be exaggerating some, but on my honor, I am not. Every single day for the past several YEARS, I have had a headache every single day. Some days I was able to shift my focus and virtually forget the pain, leaving it only a dull annoyance in the background of my day. Some days I was incapacitated, on the couch, praying for relief.

As of today, I haven’t had a headache in FOUR DAYS!!! That’s incredible to me. I’ve been involved in multiple car accidents in the past and my back is a little crooked as a result. I’ve always attributed my headaches to my back and neck… but I was wrong.

At this point, I don’t know for sure if it was the sorbitol or the aspertame in my gum, but it’s VERY clear to me that one of them was causing me to have a daily headache.

I’ve been completely off my gum for two weeks and two days as of this morning, and I have to say, I feel better than I have in probably 6 years.

Even at the peak of my diet and exercise changes, when I was at my “healthiest,” there was always this undertone of “I don’t feel good” that was in me. I felt thin and healthy and happy… with a headache and cloudy thoughts and burning with urination and bowel issues and sore, achy muscles, and stomach pain etc…

I thought that was just how it is. Just how the body works.

It’s NOT!

I feel healthy and vibrant and happy and AMAZING, quite frankly.

I woke up Friday last week feeling amazing. Better than I can ever remember feeling. Then Saturday morning, I was absolutely STUNNED to find that I felt even better than the day before. THEN… the same thing happened again on Sunday… and AGAIN on Monday!!

Each day I was impressed with the raised level of healthfulness I felt, thinking I must’ve finally reached the end of the poison and the beginning of my healing , but each day I was blissfully amazed at how wrong I was and how I now feel even GREATER than the day before.

I had never imagined that I could feel this good in my own body. Never.

Back on July’s New Moon, I’d started to thank God for my health every day. I was focusing on my health and body for the cycle, and it sure seemed logical to think and thank about it.

“Thank you, God, for the great health I possess and the knowledge I’ve been given so I may consciously perpetuate mt wellness…”

It wasn’t an affirmation really… but a prayer. I mean, I said it pretty much in those exact words, every single day at least once… Well hell… I suppose it WAS an affirmation. LOL

I gotta say though… As I say those words today, no sentence has EVER been truer for me, right now, than THAT sentence. It literally became more and more true and real as I said it.

And yes, I was beginning to feel a little skeptical as I seemed to be getting sicker and sicker as I prayed gratitude for my health, but I hung in and kept in my mind, the ideas that…

It’s darkest before the dawn…

Sometimes we have to do some tearing down before we can build…

I must be heading somewhere amazing if I’m to measure it by proportion to how awful I feel now…

Everything happens for a reason…

Everything, good or bad, is pushing me in the direction of something I’ve expressed a desire to have, be, or do and I must be patient so the Spirit can reveal itself to me…

But mostly, I held on to… This too shall pass.

It’s awesome.

And I don’t mean… wow, that’s awesome. I mean… I sit here at these keys feeling loved beyond reason and humbled and completely awed…. in indescribable A W E at the miracle I have been witness to and the power of my words and my connection to the all powerful creator of WORLDS that I am in, that is in me…. And even as I say those words, I feel mostly how inept they are in describing the most powerful feeling I’ve ever experienced.

As I typed the above paragraph, I paused in thought and looked to Mother Nature outside of my window to find my words as I often do, and there, bobbing by and headed into the woods about 15 feet away were about 25 wild turkey. I sat in this very chair yesterday telling my uncle who’s in from CA that I haven’t seen a turkey here in about 3 years. “I miss the turkeys..” I’d said.

So as I sit trying to find words to describe the indescribable awe I am feeling with regards to the astounding power of my words, I have the power of my words march right past my window.

It’s just awesome. A w e s o m e.

Intending to Love My Body~ Cycle Conclusion*

August 14th, 2010

I feel good.

Happy.

Peaceful.

Healthy.

From the New Moon last month (July 11, 2010) until the New Moon this month (August 9, 2010) I had intended to focus on my body. To quote…well… Me…

My official intention is: I want to realize the beauty and perfection that is my body so I may love and respect it in kind*

The habits I intend to practice daily for this month are~

Get up at the same time every day

Walk

Look good 2 feel good

Take my supplements

Eat well & with intention/purpose

Drink 8 glasses of water

No more than 2 cups of coffee

Be aware of my posture and the general state of my body

* * * * * * * * * * *

Boy did THAT intention come to pass. I didn’t get a chance to practice all the daily habits that I’d intended to, but I’m going to go ahead and give my self a free pass on what I missed.

I didn’t get up at the same time every day. I was up days at a time, ill. Free pass.

I didn’t walk every day. See above explanation. Free pass.

I DID “look good to feel good.” Not every single day… but each of the days I was capable of getting out of bed!

I didn’t take my supplements every single day, but I did manage it most days and I learned that I have a magnesium deficiency and have taken steps to correct it :)

I think I did really well eating well and with intention and purpose. I would have to say that this past month I was definitely more aware of what was going into my mouth.

I must confess that I haven’t been counting the glasses of water I’ve been drinking. I have, however, purposely increased the amount of water I consume and I believe I’ve met or exceeded my intended. Had a lot of sorbitol in my system to flush out.

The coffee is a funny one. I really wanted to cut WAY back on the amount of coffee I was drinking. I had actually reached a place where I sort of wanted to quit drinking it altogether. The thing is, I LIKE drinking coffee. That’s why I decided to just cut back to no more than 2 cups a day. I’m a believer in realistic goals. You can always set a new goal once you reach a realistic goal. Well! I quit drinking coffee. Mike suggested it might be irritating my stomach before we knew about the sorbitol, and I had agreed and began drinking tea. I had a craving for a cup of coffee about 4 days ago, but I didn’t even drink half of it. It just didn’t taste good to me and I happily poured it in the sink and brewed a cup of tea :)

I have been taking notice of my posture a lot more. I try to sit and stand up tall and straight. And as far as being aware of the general state of my body… yeah… I think I’m covered. LOL

* * * * * * * * * * *

I lost 13 pounds total from my sorbitol ordeal, but I’m actually happy to report than I’ve gained back 5. My official goal weight is 8 pounds less than my current weight… so it feels a little weird to be happy about weight gain, but it really feels like a sign of health and recovery. My appetite has returned full scale, but I’ve been eating mostly fruits, veggies and nuts, so I’m sure my body is just finding it’s balance again.

I’ve also started riding my bike with one dog in the morning and then again with the other dog in the evening. The exercise feels really good.

Overall… I would have to admit that I absolutely feel better in and about my body after this past month’s intention. It was one hell of a ride, but I would have to count this cycle as a complete success :)

As I write this, it’s 10:30pm… so my official intention(s) for this next cycle will have to wait until tomorrow to be written. See you there~

My affirmation until Monday, 8-24-10 on the Full Moon~
I AM a miracle in motion~ Only more miracles can come from me*
