Love Note/How do miracles happen?

We live in amazing times, when we are finally starting to realize the full extent of the capabilities we humans have. And some of the things we’re capable of doing are the type of thing we used to consider miraculous. Many still would.

Here’s an example.

The other day I was sitting in a restaurant having lunch with my daughter when she told me she couldn’t breathe. She said she felt like she had been punched in the chest, but nothing like that had happened and there was no outer bruise. Every time she tried to take a breath it hurt, and she wasn’t getting enough air in.

How would you feel? What would you do if your child told you that?

I know how I would have felt not too long ago. Very afraid for my child.

That fear would have put me into instant red alert status. I’d have revved up the parental action motor, gone straight home, called the doctor, or perhaps tried a slew of home remedies, which might or might not have worked, eventually necessitating a trip to the doctor (or even hospital emergency room), lost work and school time, etc., etc., and in the best case eventually the problem would have gone away. In the worst case it could have been the start of something chronic or led to other problems, maybe even worse.

This time, however, – remember, we’re still in the restaurant – I performed a process that uncovered the two causes of the breathing problem and removed them. Simple as that.

I know it worked because when I was done I asked my daughter to take a big breath and tell me how she felt. She said “Fine”. Never have I been happier to hear that word, which usually frustrates me in how little it communicates. This time it said a lot.

I did the entire process without touching her. No one in the restaurant knew what we were doing (it was done silently). And it took all of 60 seconds.

Sound like miracle? It did to me the first time I learned of this process. Then I found out that anyone can do it. It’s one of those things that we usually attribute to the Divine. We call it a miracle or say our guardian angel must have been helping us. But turns out we all have this power. My belief is that that’s because we’re all pieces or facets of the Divine. But that’s a subject for another post.

Would you like to learn how to “perform miracles”? I’m happy to teach you how. I can teach it to a single individual or a large group. Anyone can do it, no matter what their age, circumstances or abilities in other areas. All you have to do is take the first step by scheduling your free sample session. I assure you, life will never feel the same after you do.

Continuous cleansing, empowering and creating

I’ve been working a lot with intention lately, which used to be known as commitment. One of the neat things about intention is that it can be applied to everything from the most grandiose goals to the smallest tasks (which add up to the grandiose goals). Another is that it’s so simple. No fancy techniques to learn or words to memorize. The trick is to make sure your energy is in alignment with your intention, which requires your subconscious to be, too.

I’m reprinting here the Continuous Cleansing Prayer from Immunics as a way to get you started with intention (or boost whatever you’ve been doing up to now). To learn more about the Immunics process (as simple as intention itself) to boost the power of this prayer and any other intentions you set, contact me through this site and/or go to Immunics.org. I can offer you other simple yet powerful processes as well. Happy intending!

Continuous Cleansing
(the all level immunity prayer)
The prayer isn’t something you say — it’s something you do. When I get the signal:

All my bodies are free of pathology.
All my bodies are free of immune dysfunction.
All my bodies are at full function.
I’m bringing my immune system up to twice the level it needs to be at to handle the toughest challenge I will face today.
I’ve installed all necessary immunological shields.
I’m attracting remedies and antidotes to dysfunction.
I’m leaving behind everything that slows me down.
All my God connectors are in.
I’m installing the reflex to give love and empowerment.
I am attracting warm, happy feelings in others.
I’m merging my results bodies with _____ (people you choose – remove and install the right factors).
I’ve installed discrimination between things (people, activities, and locations) that win and ones that don’t, a reflex to drop the ones that don’t even when I’m succeeding with them and a reflex to do the ones that do even when I’m a beginner at them.
I’m attracting powerful, benevolent allies.
I’m on the best side of my highest possible dimension.
I’m removing all disturbances from the emotional bodies of everyone in the world.
I’m protecting myself and my people from incipient catastrophes.
I’m realizing the loving, world shaping, and God given intentions I’ve carried from life to life.
I’m causing my career and those of the people I love to be what God intends.
I am attracting increased capacity in myself and my group to accept power infusion.
My particle attributes are in balance and at full strength to succeed at God’s work.
All my bodies are in God.
All my bodies are one rainbow.
I am free.

Love Note/How Power Drinks Can Take Yours Away

Thanks to Family Well-Being for the following article:

The energy drinks that seem to fill the coolers of every convenience store and checkout line carry more risks than what we’ve been led to believe. Experts have been cautioning teens and other adults for years against stoking up on multiple cans of the stuff before sporting events, for instance, because it can actually increase the risk of dehydration and contribute to an elevated heart rate even before exercise begins.

Now new studies suggest that the drinks’ caffeine boost can do even more damage to people with high blood pressure – as well as those who mix buzz juice with booze.

Johns Hopkins professor of behavioral biology Roland Griffiths, PhD, agrees. Griffiths has been studying the effect of caffeine on the body for many years, and he says the stimulant is the most widely used mood-altering drug in the world.

Griffiths says energy drink consumers are being misled by advertising for the products.

“The ads give people the idea that they are getting a cocktail of various ingredients fine-tuned to synergisticly enhance energy,” he says. “As far as I can tell, this is bogus. The effects of these drinks are largely due to the presence of added caffeine, and the magnitude of the effect is completely caffeine-dose dependent.”

The first study was presented Tuesday before the American Heart Association’s annual scientific meeting in Orlando, Fla.

In fact, while the drinks are often marketed around images of extreme-sports competitions, marathons or study days, researchers are finding that many high-school and college students are using the energy drinks to keep them awake for longer alcoholic binges.

Another study shows that college students who drink booze mixed with energy drinks are twice as likely to be hurt or injured than those who did their drinking without the aid of the boosters.

This was among the findings of Wake Forest University researchers that were presented to the American Public Health Association’s annual meeting in Washington this week.

The Wake Forest team also found that those students who mix are twice as likely to require medical attention or to ride with an intoxicated driver than students who just drank alcohol.

Additionally, those who mixed energy and alcoholic drinks were more than twice as likely to take advantage of someone else sexually, and almost twice as likely to be taken advantage of, according to the study. It was based on a Web survey of nearly 4,300 college students from 10 universities.

“We knew, from speaking with students and researching blogs and Web sites, that college students mix these drinks and alcohol in order to drink more and to drink longer,” said Dr. Mary Claire O’Brien, an associate professor of emergency medicine who led the study.

“But we were surprised that the risk of serious and potentially deadly consequences is so much higher for those who mixed energy drinks with alcohol, even when we adjusted for the amount of alcohol.”

Just as the time-honored practice of pouring coffee into an inebriated partygoer produces a “wide-awake drunk,” O’Brien says younger party goers may not realize how impaired they are because of the stimulant effect.

“Only the symptoms of drunkenness are reduced, but not the drunkenness. They can’t tell if they’re drunk and they can’t tell if someone else is drunk. So they get hurt, or they hurt someone else.”

Love Notes/Turning the tables on Betrayal

In my type of work, spiritual coaching and healing, I have to be aware of and address many core beliefs that people hold, especially the ones that tend to limit them in some way, like by creating disease or emotional suffering.

So the experience – or perception – of betrayal is something I come across a lot.

I’ve always thought that betrayal is about a violation of trust. You trust someone to give you love, to be there for you, to look out for you, to be loyal to you, and then suddenly they stop doing it. Voila, you’ve been betrayed.

To heal this perception requires understanding that there was actually a deficiency of trust in the first place, not of the person who betrayed you, but rather of yourself, which manifests as (rather than being created by) someone else pulling the rug out from under you. Another case of “It’s all done with mirrors.”

Recently, however, I came across another definition of betrayal, which really made me stop and think, and that for me has brought the kind of depth to working with this issue that invariably leads to spiritual growth – for my clients and myself. So I’ve decided to share it with you.

The new definition is this:

A person betrays when s/he refuses to accept a gift.

Like you (I imagine) I had to stop and re-read it and think about it. A person betrays me AND, more importantly, him/herself, not if s/he refuse to GIVE me what I want, but rather and ONLY if s/he REFUSES what I choose to give him/her.

Kind of mind-boggling (and counter-intuitive), isn’t it?

If this is true, then WHY is it true? And how do I now think about the other acts – the ones I’ve been calling betrayal?

Here’s what I’ve come to. Please remember – as always – that whatever I say is true for me, and not necessarily true for you. Take what you like and leave the rest. And feel free to leave your comments below with your own truths!

In the definition given above are embedded several fundamental Truths. (I’ve capitalized the word here because I believe these are spiritual laws.)

1. The universe is made of love. And God/Goddess – Spirit – Universal Consciousness or Source (whatever name works for you) wants us – as extensions of itself – to experience this love all the time.

2. We cannot destroy or diminish this Divine love in any way. We can, however, because we have free will, impede its flow, by forgetting that we are made of it and have access to it in infinite supply or in some other way convincing ourselves of the opposite of this.

3. We have everything we need at all times (this is probably a corollary of 2.) To believe otherwise – like that we have lost something essential – is to believe in an illusion, albeit a powerful one.

So…

If no one can take anything away from us, because in Reality we always have everything we need, then no one can betray us by taking anything away from us. (Remember, we’re speaking spiritually here, and spiritual needs are at the root of all others.) We remain connected to one another and to the Source of all our good ALWAYS. As eternal threads in the Divine tapestry of life, light and love, no one and nothing is ever really gone or destroyed.

So, what DOES constitute betrayal?

Well, if Spirit wants us to accept the greatest gift of all – Divine Love – of which all others gifts are extensions and reflections, then a giver is doing God’s will, and so is the receiver, since to receive is an equally important experience that Spirit wishes to have through us. Therefore, to refuse a gift is to deny and betray ourselves, the giver and Spirit itself – since in Reality we are all One – by impeding the flow of Love.

You may find this definition challenging. Take your time in working with it; feel the emotions that come up; allow yourself to work with and gently release the judgments and imprints you may have about what I have written here. I believe it will be well worth your while because this new way of looking at betrayal can empower you, set you free and help you open to receive Love in unending supply .
