Emotional Alchemy
See if this scenario sounds familiar. You're under a lot of
stress. You feel irritable, angry, or depressed, and you
wish with all your heart that you could "snap out of it" but
you just seem to be attracting more of the same. Every
attempt to jolly yourself out of the blues just seems to
frustrate you more. Nothing changes, your emotional state
is like a snowball rolling downhill and everyone is walking
on eggshells around you. If that scenario rings a bell, then you might need some
emotional alchemy. Originally, alchemy was the art and
science of transforming base metals like lead into the
precious metal gold. Today in magic, alchemy is the art of
transforming anything from a lower to a higher state. So if
your emotions are hanging out in the lower tones and you
can't get any relief, try some alchemy. Surprisingly, emotional alchemy doesn't require candles,
sage, wands, or firebowls. It's much simpler than that. All
you have to do is reprogram one single part of yourself. One
of my good friends has a saying, "What wires together fires
together." In terms of magic, this means that your body,
mind, and Spirit are wired together in certain ways, and
under stress these three parts tend to respond in the same
way all the time. To see how this works just look for a stress indicator. This
could be a fidget, a facial expression, the need to eat,
fast talking, waving your hands, smoking a cigarette, or
drinking a Coke. These are all responses that occur when
you're under stress. Let's take one example - drinking a
Coke - and see how mind, body, and Spirit wire together. If
you tend to drink Coke when you're under stress, here's the
sequence of what might be happening: * Mind: Has the thought "I can't do this."
* Body: Automatically reaches for a Coke with the right hand and takes a drink.
* Spirit: Checks out and leaves body.
* Result: Feelings of anger, depression, irritability Mind's thought automatically causes the body to grab the
Coke with the right hand and causes Spirit to leave. Every
time you are under stress the same sequence "fires together"
over and over again - and Spirit, the part of you that
guides you through life toward your birth vision, is
constantly absent. Since Mind is like a computer, it can't
change its program. Only Spirit can do that. You end up with
a broken record, with mind repeating "I can't do this" and
body drinking lots of Coke. It's becomes a cycle that is
almost impossible to snap out of unless you bring Spirit
back into the equation. So how do you rewire this strange sequence so you can
transform your emotional responses? Just change one small
part of the wiring. In the example above, you might notice
when body reaches for the Coke with the right hand. Stop.
Switch hands. Reach for the Coke with your left hand. This
automatically causes Spirit to stay in body and be present -
it forces you, Spirit, to be present. Only Spirit can make
those kinds of changes. And when Spirit is present, you are
able to handle the stressful situation differently. In fact, just bringing Spirit into a stressful situation
changes things - automatically. This is the alchemy at work.
Suddenly, even if just for a moment, you feel lighter, less
burdened, and even happy. Now if you pause in that moment
and notice the difference, the change will become more
permanent. You, all three parts, will develop a memory about
this new feeling and a new set of wiring will be created.
Now when you find yourself in a stressful situation, you'll
have a choice. You can do the same old response of feeling
depressed or angry (right hand reaching for the Coke) or you
can change the game plan and reach for the Coke with the
left hand. Emotional alchemy doesn't mean you'll choose the happier
path every time. It just gives you a choice. So if you want
to expand the number of choices you have in your life, look
at the situations where you get in trouble and figure out
what's wiring and firing together. Then unwire and rewire
just one piece of that equation and you'll have a new
choice. Imagine what would happen if you did this in every
area of your life. Hmmm . enjoy! *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Imagine that each person on this planet carried with them a teaspoon of soil or rock from Mt. Everest. Certainly Mt. Everest would shrink! Those individual teaspoons of material from the tallest mountain on Earth now in the pockets of billions of people also wouldn't mean much. Well I suppose each of us could put that small amount of mineral material into a bottle and keep it as a souvenir. But like most souvenirs we collect, we tire of dusting them and they become added to the already crowded drawer or box of meaningless, useless items. A teaspoon of dirt, in a jar, in a drawer, that by itself, means little.

I have a deep and abiding belief that there lies within every person the capacity for greatness. I don't mean the old adage that you can become anything you want to be -- I'm more receptive to Peter F. Drucker's admonition to not "waste time trying to put in what the creator left out." But the potential of almost every person is far above his or her level of achievement. That so few rise to their potential does not in any way diminish the validity of this belief. We often see some obscure person rise apparently from nowhere to leadership of a cause or a movement, giving proof to the idea that this capacity lies dormant within each and every one of us.

Wayne Dyer - 20 Abundance & Prosperity Quotes
Dr. Wayne Dyer has been an inspiration for me for at least two decades now and below I wanted to share with you my favorite 20 quotes of his that relate to creating abundance and prosperity:
"There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there's only scarcity of resolve to make it happen."
"Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into."
"There is no way to prosperity, prosperity is the way."
"Within you is the divine capacity to manifest and attract all that you need or desire."
"We are Divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive."
"You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being, not because anybody says so, not because you're successful, not because you make a lot of money, but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason."
"When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous."
"The measure of your life will not be in what you accumulate, but in what you give away."
"Successful people make money. It's not that people who make money become successful, but that successful people attract money. They bring success to what they do."
"Self-worth comes from one thing -- thinking that you are worthy."
"Prosperity in the form of wealth works exactly the same as everything else. You will see it coming into your life when you are unattached to needing it. "
"Our intention creates our reality."
"Love what you do."
"Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life."
"It's never crowded along the extra mile."
"I will grow. I will become something new and grand, but no grander than I now am. Just as the sky will be different in a few hours, its present perfection and completeness is not deficient, so am I presently perfect and not deficient because I will be different tomorrow. I will grow and I am not deficient."
"Heaven on Earth is a choice you must make, not a place we must find."
"A non-doer is very often a critic-that is, someone who sits back and watches doers, and then waxes philosophically about how the doers are doing. It's easy to be a critic, but being a doer requires effort, risk, and change."
"Anything that has been accomplished by any other human being in the physical realm is within the field of possibility."
"Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it."
Use Your Reset Button to Change Your Vibration
At every moment you can tell if the vibration that you are sending is either a positive one or a negative one by identifying the feeling you are experiencing. At every moment you have a feeling and that feeling is causing you to emit or send off a vibration - and in the 'vibrational' world there are only two kinds of vibrations; positive or negative. So as you talk about what you don't want and make negative declarative statements, in that moment you are sending out and emitting a negative vibration. Law of Attraction then matches it by giving you more of the same.

When Will Love Find me?
Love. You may notice that I made that an entire sentence. That one little four-letter word can easily be a sentence on its own, an entire book, or the meaning of life. I doubt there has ever been a person on this planet who has not at some stage pondered the meaning of this little word. Men have lived for it and men have died for it.
Ending the Internal Conflict
If you read personal growth or self-help books at all, including mine, you've been taught to identify what you want to have. You've been instructed to focus your intention on what you want because what you think about is what it drawn to you. This idea was best expressed by the late Earl Nightingale who said "You Mind Moves in the Direction of Your Currently Dominant Thoughts." This is an idea that can be traced back thousands of years and appears on every writing on religion, spirituality or philosophy. The Bible says, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."

I have never heard my Angels telling me that I "should" do something. Yes, they'll apprise me of a situation but it's stated as fact. They'll never say that I should do anything in particular about a situation. They leave it up to my common sense and free will to figure out whether I want to use the information they give me or not.
