A Random Act Revisited

December 6th, 2010

Saturday…

Mike went out in the garage and pulled the wheels off of his truck and put on the wheels with his winter snow tires. While out there doing that, he revisited the memory of when he bought those rims several years ago, and the good deal he’d gotten.

Seven years ago…

Mike was looking for a nice set of rims on which he could mount his winter snow tires for his truck, so come winter and spring, he could just pop the wheels off and on instead of having to mount and remount tires on rims each year.

He ended up finding an entire van for sale for $500. The van was rough. Was probably worth the $500, but not much more.

He knocked on the door and spoke to the owner. He told the man that he was only looking for rims for him winter tires and that those were perfect. He offered the man $250. The man said he didn’t want to sell just the rims and that Mike would have to take the whole van.

Mike said he’d take the whole van, but that $250 was all he had, and he wouldn’t pay $500 because he would keep the rims and junk the van anyway.

The guy took him at his word and gave him the entire van for $250 assuming that Mike needed the rims and was really going to junk the van. He’d hoped to get more for the van, but it’d been sitting a long time and he’d pretty much lost hope so he was willing to take the $250 and let it go.

Sunday…

We got about 6 inches of snow. It was Mike’s weekend to be on call and he got called yesterday afternoon to an accident scene about 2 miles up the road.

He got on the scene and hooked the truck he was going to be towing. The driver rode in the tow truck too, happily unharmed in the accident. They drove just another mile east and the man directed Mike into his driveway.

Mike immediately recognized the house as being where he’d bought that van all those years ago. He turned to his passenger and asked, “So how long have you lived here?”

“Oh, at least 20 years,” the man replied.

“Then it must have been you who sold me that white van all those years ago.”

The guys eyes widened in recognition and he smiled and said, “Wow! It IS you. I didn’t even remember that until you said it!”

They chatted a moment and Mike told him about how he still had those rims and he’d JUST been remounting them onto his truck the day before and had been thinking about that day.

Then, in a beautiful demonstration of kindness, Mike worked the tow bill around the best he could so the guy paid as little as possible for his tow and accident scene clean-up.

I thought this was a really neat story and wanted to share it. It’s not every day that we’re given the opportunity to repay a kindness that’s been extended to us by someone we don’t know.

And it was SO synchronous the way it happened. It was nice that Mike got the chance to revisit the memory and appreciate it again right before being presented with an opportunity to reciprocate.

Isn’t Life divine?

Half Moon Book Review *)

November 28th, 2010

Today’s Book:

The Power of Intention
Learning to Co-create Your World Your Way (Gift Edition)
By Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

I received this book for free from Hay House Publishing in exchange for my honest review of the material. These are my authentic thoughts and feelings on the following book. I wasn’t paid to BS you all :)

I must open by admitting that I’ve already read this book. I mean, prior to receiving this copy and doing this review. I picked this one up and read through it probably…. two years ago.

The funny thing is, I didn’t think a whole lot about it then. I didn’t dislike it. I got something from it. I always take something with me when I read or listen to Wayne Dyer. But I wouldn’t have GUSHED about it had you asked me two years ago.

This time around, I feel the need to gush.

I know. It’s the same book. Same words, same order, same same book. But, I’m not the same :)

I am most definitely in a different Spiritual place than I was a mere two years ago. My relationship to God has evolved and changed, and this time the words in this book just resonated differently with me.

I love the way Wayne writes. You can feel him coming through his words. I’ve listened to him lecture and find his voice very smooth and relaxing, and I can almost hear his voice reading his books to me. Maybe that was kind of weird. LOL Oh well, it’s the truth.

Your relationship to God, aka The Universe, aka The Field of Intention. That’s the short of what this book is about. That’s the smallest nutshell I could find.

How to find It, how to relate to It, how to enhance It, how to flow with It, and create the life of your dreams IN It. Who you are. Who you’re not. Why you are. Why you’re not.

It’s all here. Plus!!

I was also completely blown away by the utter beauty of this book. A gift edition to be sure. I know *I* am honored to receive this book as a gift, and I’m positive that if you gave this book to someone as a gift, they too would adore it.

Each and every page is bursting with beautiful colors and design. But it’s tasteful, not distracting. The business of the art doesn’t take away from the message. In fact, I think it enhances it. It’s absolutely gorgeous!

I’m actually re-reading it now. I mean, again. For a third time. Total. LOL _sigh_

I would recommend this book, but not just to anyone. I think this is a fantastic read, but is best suited to someone with some previous LOA, intention/manifestation experience and knowledge. Not a starter book, but for a Spiritual seeker whose already well on their path. Maybe someone coming to a fork and in the process of shifting and evolving. Or even someone SEEKING an evolutionary experience in their relationship with God aka Intention.

Happy reading!

I am super excited to announce the winner of my FREE copy of Abraham-Hicks’ newest publication, Getting into the Vortex Guided Meditations CD and User Guide.

*Bethel* It’s all yours!!! I have your address and will mail out your book in the morning. It will probably be in your mail box within 3-4 days. Congratulations!! I hope you love it as much as I did!!

I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to everyone who entered and linked me up out in cyber world, and to my BFF, Ash who picked a random number and decided the winner for me so I didn’t have to literally write them all down and draw one from a hat!

The Manifestation Process

October 24th, 2010

I want to thank everybody who participated in the full moon group meditation even though I didn’t send out another reminder, and I want to apologize for falling off the grid and leaving you all hanging.

I’ve been laid up in bed for the past three days with the most awful headache and I just couldn’t bring myself to be sitting up and on my laptop. I was however available and did participate at the predetermined time because I KNEW that there were going to be some of you there.

It ended up being a blessing because I found that my head didn’t hurt so much while I was meditating and I spent much of the following day in meditation because it was the best pain relief I could find.

I’ve already received some emails about the newly showing success and I want to take this opportunity to remind you all of what to expect. It’s a four part process that when remembered and worked from will create amazing things in your life.

The “Full Moon Group Meditation” is officially a monthly meeting. I hope you’ll all join us for the next group meditation on Sunday November 21, 2010!

* * * * * * * * * * *

Step 1~ The Intention

This is best done by sitting down with pen and paper and really deciding what you want to see. It’s best to only focus upon one area of your life at a time, but you can actually combine several mini intentions into one overall goal. For instance, by deciding to focus upon increasing ease and joy in your relationships in general, you can focus upon virtually ALL people with whom you relate. That’s many mini intentions all wrapped up into one single focus.

Step 2~ The Alpha Reflection

When you send out your desires into the Universe, you will generally see an almost immediate show of recognition. For instance, if you were intending an increase in money, you might find $5 the very next day.

This is what I like to refer to as, the alpha reflection. It’s simply the Universe reflecting back to you that which sums up your intention to let you know that your manifestation muscle has been flexed and is now creating expansion for you.

Step 3~ The Omega Reflection

This is what happens due to you previously recognizing what you do not want in your life by observing it. It’s the sum total of what you have previously believed to be true before you decided to intend to change things.

**It’s important to note that we never actually change THINGS. It is us who changes and then the reflection of life shifts to reveal that change that happened within. **

So, after you set your intention and the Universe reflects the Alpha, it reflects the other end of the scale, which I like to call the Omega.

The Omega is God giving you a chance to change your mind and keep your previously held beliefs in play. It’s the equivalent of a patient parent saying, “Now honey, are you SURE you don’t like this outfit anymore? It has fit you well up until now and if I throw it out, then it’s gone. Are you sure you want me to pitch it and get you that other one you think you want??”

And here’s the trick. When God asks you if you’re sure it’s the new way that you want by showing you ONE MORE TIME what the old way looked like, it’s your job to say yes by not reacting to the old way in the old way. You now must say yes by reacting in the NEW way, because if the new way is how it is, then the old reaction doesn’t exist.

If you react in the same old way, you are canceling out your intention because you’re telling God that the old way is fine and you’re proving it by acting it out again.

Step 4~ The Manifestation

This one is pretty self explanatory. It is the step in which the new beliefs begin to manifest for you for real. It is when the changing of your world becomes obvious and you see it differently and in turn you feel differently about it.

Now the best thing you can do is take a moment every single time you recognize a new piece of your manifestation taking shape and say a prayer of gratitude for it.
