Tapping Into Abundance with EFT
20 Mar 2003
Using the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to Remove Blocks to Prosperity
Hi!
My eight-year-old son, Karson, is a magician. He has mastered the fine art of manifesting his abundance. I marvel at his ability to magnetize everything he wants into his life. Yesterday Karson informed me that he is manifesting $18.00 for a new Lego set. I have watched this child's process with great interest because his ability to get exactly what he wants is quite inspiring. All he has to do is ask for it and within a few days it shows up. I am sure by this time next week he will have his $18.00 (he just may charm me into it soon.)
What is Karson's secret? How is it that he gets his desires fulfilled in record time without stress and worry? Karson believes, without limitation, that he will create what he wants. He doesn't worry about whether it is right, whether he deserves it or even entertain the thought that it won't happen. He knows he'll get it and he does.
How easy it is for children to believe with such conviction that they will get what they dream about, especially if no one tells them that they can't have it, or they shouldn't have it or that people in China are starving and they should be satisfied with what they have.
How many of us adults can manifest without limitation? It requires complete faith and belief that it is possible. Most of us struggle with deep conditioning that we can't have what we want. We don't deserve what we want. We have to work hard to get what we want. We struggle with believing in instant miracles, placing "real life" blocks to how and when what we desire will show up in our lives.
Creating the money we need to live the life we dream of is the biggest block that I see in my practice. I have many clients who know what their heart's desires are but who do not believe that they can live out these desires because they don't have the money. Or they feel guilty for asking for something that isn't "realistic" or practical.
The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) can be a powerful tool to help you move past limiting beliefs, conditioning and emotional blocks to manifesting abundance. EFT can quickly remove from your subconscious mind and your energy field blocks that you may have to magnetizing your prosperity.
I have listed below some sample EFT setups to use to help you explore your beliefs about money and prosperity. Try some of these setups and see what issues may come up for you. Then use EFT to remove your limiting beliefs.
If you are unfamiliar with EFT, visit www.joyfulmission.com and download my free manual, "EFT for Everyone" and learn how to use this remarkable simple tool today. I have seen EFT change people's lives in a minute!
Examples of some common Limiting Beliefs relating to money and prosperity:

"Even though I don't know how I am going to make more money."
"Even though I believe I'll never get out of debt."
"Even though I know I will lose money when I get more of it."
Our money beliefs are deeply rooted in our culture and our collective consciousness. In my experience, it may take a lot of tapping to get to the root of your money beliefs.
Personally, I still find aspects of limiting beliefs about abundance in my own consciousness. I was raised in a very hard working family. I am still clearing my beliefs about needing to work hard to make money. Be patient with yourself if you find that you are having to tap a lot to clear experiences and root beliefs that are keeping you from experiencing prosperity!
Tap a little on these issues everyday! I recommend that you tap at least 15 minutes everyday on anything that you need help with.
If you have any questions or if you think you need more help, please don't hesitate to contact me, karen@joyfulmission.com. I look forward to hearing from you!
Love,

How To Love Like You Will Never Be Hurt
How To Love Like You Will Never Get Hurt
20 Jun 2003
Hi!
Well, Christmas sped by and, in the blink of an eye, the grocery store has been converted from a wonderland of red and green to the sweet combination of red and pink. Valentine's Day is dawning and we will soon be inundated with commercial messages of undying eternal love.
Personally, I hate Valentines Day. It is one of those female holidays where what women want and men deliver is quite different. I have watched many women bite the dust on Valentine's Day, a 24-hour reminder that we haven't been loved the way we think we want to be loved.
I am a deeply sentimental fool. I hate that our expression of love for each other is limited to one day a year. I would like every day to be Valentine's Day. Why wait for a special day to live out love? Love is a frequency of energy that is available for us to dip into at each and every moment, if we choose.
LOVE IS A VERB
Even though according to the dictionary "love" can be used as a noun, I believe that love is a verb. Certainly love is a feeling. But living love requires action, courage, commitment and letting go of attachment.
We all struggle to love unconditionally. Unconditional love requires that we love like we are never going to get hurt. Whether we are parents, friends, or romantic partners, life is an ongoing lesson of learning how to love without attachment to the outcome.
Being a parent, for example, offers us a great opportunity to experience unconditional love. The best parents I know love their children for who they are. Parenting with unconditional love requires the strength to set clear limits and boundaries, while still accepting children for who they are and acting as if they are capable of living their own lives.
Parenting with unconditional love also requires that we trust that our children can deal with their emotions and the truth. And that our children will deal with difficult lessons that we can't always save them from. We can only offer love and sanctuary. Love isn't about rescuing. It is about trusting that a person can handle what has been thrown their way.
When it comes to friendship and romantic partnership, love must become deeply selfish. Real love is not sacrifice. Whenever you think you are sacrificing yourself to "love", you are actually expressing the expectation that what you really deserve and desire from love won't find you. How many of us compromise in the name of love? How many of us accept less than what we desire because we feel that we don't deserve or can't have all that we want.
I am a champion for love. I believe that we can have love in the form that we want if we allow for space for love to find us. When we fill our lives with compromise in the name of "love", we don't leave a space for true love.
THE COURAGE TO LOVE
In friendships and romance, how many of us are in relationships that are less than fulfilling? How many of us have the courage to ask for what we want from our partners? How many of us have accepted a level of love that hurts us or forces us to live out our lives based on someone else's expectations? How many of us hold on to this distorted love because of society's rules or out of guilt?
Great acts of love require great acts of courage. It requires vulnerability, honesty and receiving.
How many of us hide from real love because we don't believe that we deserve it? Love can be delivered to us magically and unexpectedly, wrapped in beautiful paper with a lovely bow. I have watched real love slip away so many times because the recipient of this gift has been afraid to open it because the timing is "wrong" or the circumstances don't allow for it.
LOVING YOURSELF FIRST
When we feel hurt by what we think is "love", it is because we are looking to others to validate our own self worth. When we feel unworthy of love, it is difficult for others to love us the way we think we should be loved. And when we hang on to unsatisfying love just because we feel a desperate need to be loved, we leave ourselves open to heartbreak and disappointment. How can others make us feel loved when we don't love ourselves first?
The greatest act of love is to love ourselves first. It is in loving ourselves unconditionally that we set a standard for how we want to be loved by others. Do you love yourself enough to demand the love you deserve from friends and partners? Do you love yourself enough to receive the love you deserve?
Now, don't get me wrong here. I know this "loving yourself" thing presents a challenge for most of us. During our lives we have internalized many beliefs and patterns of self-sacrifice that discourage unconditional love from finding us.
I can attest to the power of these beliefs. Out of a fear of getting hurt, I used to see myself as the Stone Queen living in the Castle of Anti-Love. If anyone tried to love me, they had to swim across a moat filled with monsters (no drawbridge here), and then they had to bust through the portcullis while my guards poured boiling oil on them. Then, if they actually made it that far, my pursuer would then have to run down an alley filled with flying arrows to make it to the tower where they would find me, the Stone Queen, glaring at them with scorn. Their next challenge would then be figuring out how to bring the Stone Queen back to life. Have you ever locked yourself away from love like this? Many people do.
Needless to say, when people failed to enter my Anti-Love castle I saw that failure as proof, once again, that I was fundamentally unlovable. I wonder sometimes how many people gave up trying to enter my castle. How many times did I turn away real love while I sat feeling so sorry for myself? Have you ever done this in your life? Is there ANYONE on this planet who hasn't done this at one time or another?
I am still learning how to love. Everyday I have to confront the Stone Queen in the mirror and remind her that WHEN SHE LOVES HERSELF she becomes the Queen of Hearts. When the Queen of Hearts flashes her beautiful smile to me in the mirror, I know that I am love and all that I deserve will find me, if I choose to let it in.
LIVING YOUR TRUTH
Real love demands Truth and Integrity. In order to live love we have to live in truth. Many times, for example, we feel that we love people in our lives, but we relate to them in ways that do not serve the highest good for either person in the relationship. To really love means not only to feel the love, but also to act in the best interests of ourselves and those persons involved. In a parenting relationship, a romantic relationship, or a friendship, there are ways of relating that honor each individual's needs and ways of relating that are not correct for those involved. Again, understand that I am not talking about sacrifice here, but truth.
If you love someone, but you feel compromised in the way you are relating to that person, do you have the courage to release him or her from the relationship? Even if it "hurts" that person in the short term?
A courageous friend of mine asked me one day if I could look at the people in my life with the Eyes of Love. She pointed out to me that if we can't see our children, our partners and our friends through the Eyes of Love we may continue to hold on to them or to our current way of relating to them, but we will simultaneously be blocking Real Love from finding them. How cruel is that?
Are you holding love hostage by living out a love that is a lie? When we pretend to love someone in a way that doesn't feel correct to us we are not honoring our truth, and probably we are not honoring the other person's truth either. Furthermore, by holding love hostage we may be keeping more appropriate forms of love from finding our partners, friends, or children. In many cases we fail to express our truth in relationships because of guilt, fear of the judgement of others or because of our fear that we will hurt someone. If you are holding on to a particular way of relating to someone you love because you don't want to hurt them, what are you holding them back from experiencing?
Can you look at your partners and friends with the Eyes of Love? If your relationship with them is not serving your highest good or their highest good, can you set them free to find Real Love? Setting someone free is sometimes the greatest act of courage and love, even if the other person doesn't see it that way in the present moment. Sometimes great acts of love can be the catalyst for profound personal growth. In time, your partner may even thank you, because what you are really doing when you let go of an incorrect way of relating to someone is this: you are living your truth and you are allowing the other person to live their truth. You are living love.
LETTING GO OF ATTACHMENT TO THE OUTCOME
Lastly, Real Love requires letting go. When you really love, you love without knowing how the story will end. It is about loving for the sake of loving. Listen, I know how hard this is! I can't even read a mystery novel without reading the last page first. I don't like entering into things when I don't know how they are going to turn out. Don't you always want to know that the story will have a "happy" ending?
But, in the name of love, I am learning to let go. When I look at my children, I realize that no matter how they "turn out," I will always love them. This is the closest I have come to experiencing unconditional love at this point in my life.
When I get lost in wanting a specific outcome from a relationship, I think about God. Does God stop loving us when we goof up? God doesn't care if we are artists, if we don't go to college, or if leave our suburban lives to become psychics in Sedona. He doesn't even stop loving us if we hurt others. The love of the Divine is unconditional.
If we can accept that we are a holographic representation of the Divine, then I have to believe that can we learn to love without attachment. Perhaps this is the greatest spiritual challenge of being incarnated.
So, as Valentine's Day approaches, take the chance to love like you will never get hurt. Love without conditions and attachments. Love yourself first. Have the courage to take loving action.
Live Love!
Love to you!

Emotional Energy
Emotional Energy
20 Mar 2005
Hi!
I am so grateful to have children. My children have always been my greatest teachers.
Today I picked up my seven-year-old daughter and my nine-year-old son from school. As my daughter joyfully leaped into the back seat she cheerfully proclaimed, “I cried in P.E. today. I missed Daddy (Her father lives in another state and they don’t get to see each other very often.)”
“But,” she went on to tell me, “I liked crying because then I got to be happy again and everyone in my class and my teacher hugged me.”
My son piped in with, “Yeah, that happens to me sometimes. I just think about it for a little bit then I go on with what I’m doing.”
My children’s resiliency and matter-of-fact acceptance of their emotional state kind of amazed me. How many times to we, as adults, get lost in our emotional states, react inappropriately to situations or simply put our emotions aside? How many of us would have the courage to break down and cry for a moment in the middle of a group of people?
So many of us, me included, have been struggling with intense emotional energy these last few months. It seems as if, on a global level, we are all processing and releasing old limitations and emotional wounds.
I personally have struggled and resisted this process in many ways. I tend to over-analyze my emotions as a way of avoiding dealing with them. If I can come up with a logical reason for my feelings then I can kind of make them go away. How many of you do that?
AVOIDING EMOTIONAL ENERGY
Most of us have developed powerful strategies to help us avoid our emotional energy, especially when we are experiencing emotions that are uncomfortable and even painful. Some common ways to avoid feelings are rationalization, finding other “more important” things to be upset about, shutting down and engaging in addictive behaviors (And I don’t just mean the ones we consider bad. An addiction is any kind of behavior that takes you away from being fully present with an emotion.).
But, I believe that we have a fundamental misunderstanding about emotions. Emotions are not just an experience we can avoid. Emotions are energy. We have to process emotional energy; let it run it’s natural course or else we run the risk of misdirecting emotional energy and having it hurt us in destructive and chaotic ways.
In the Human Design System, there is an energy center called the Emotional Solar Plexus (The large triangle on the right side of the chart. For more information about the emotional solar plexus click here: http://joyfulmission.com/joyful_mission_00000d.htm).
That is how vital emotional energy is to the human personality. We actually have our own energy system for processing emotional energy!
LIGHTNING BOLTS AND HOT POTATOES
Emotional energy is like lightning. Once lightning strikes, it will take the path of least resistance to get to the ground. Emotional energy will do the same thing.
Here’s an example for you. The other day my youngest daughter and my step-daughter got into a fight over who stuck their tongue out at the other first. Big fight. Big feelings.
At first I tried to make them give each other an apology and scolded them for not working it out. Instead of calming down, they got even more mad at each other and retreated with great flair to opposite ends of the house. Both of them were crying hysterically.
So, I tried a different parenting tactic. I went to each of my daughters individually and simply listened to each side of the story. Within about two minutes they were both hugging and kissing each other. And they went right on playing as if nothing had happened.
All they really wanted was someone to listen to them. They just needed to express their feelings and have them respectfully acknowledged. They really didn’t need me to fix anything, just hear them out.
The intense energy between all of us can be like an emotional Hot Potato. We all juggle powerful emotional energy that is simply longing for appropriate expression. When we can’t find an outlet for the energy, we start lobbing it at each other until it finds some kind of an outlet.
How many times as adults do we throw emotional Hot Potatoes at other people instead of dealing with our emotions appropriately? And how many times do we deny other people the gift of appropriate emotional expression because it is too uncomfortable for us to deal with?
I find that if I simply allow my kids to tell me about their feelings, the fight will go away or be handled very quickly. They really don’t seem to care much about the actual issue. They just want to have their side of the story, and their emotions, really heard.
You know, a hot potato can be hard to handle. But when it cools down enough, it can be a delicious meal. Allowing someone to express their emotions freely is a true act of love and sometimes courage.
And, the freedom to appropriately share emotional energy is a true building block to intimacy.
Imagine how all your relationships would change if the people around felt that it was safe to share all their feelings with you without fear of getting shut down, being judged or punished.
What if the people in your life felt like they could share their emotions with you without having to make excuses, cover up, lie or blame? What if they could communicate their feelings effectively?
How would that one simple shift in how you handle emotional energy change the way you relate to all the people in your life?
ACCEPT YOURSELF
And, what if you could then extend that same level of acceptance and understanding of emotional energy to YOURSELF? What if you could make it okay to completely accept your own feelings without shutting down, judging or punishing yourself?
As I mentioned, emotional energy is like lightning. We can experience it, and let it run it’s full, natural course. Or, we can stuff it and deny it.
But, imagine what happens when we stuff and deny emotional lightning bolts. They don’t go away. They ricochet around inside of us until we blow up at something that seems sometimes insignificant, or we manifest physical symptoms, depression and even serious illnesses.
I can’t tell you how many times I have had clients that have manifested huge grief reactions over seemingly insignificant events in their lives. It is not uncommon. Usually, with a little detective work, we find an old emotional wound that needs to be expressed and honored. With a little self-love and acceptance, the old energy can be released and you can move forward.
I am still learning to do this myself. But I have discovered that if I simply and lovingly allow my emotions to follow their natural course, they dissipate rather quickly. And, somehow, even though this experience can feel intense, sometimes painful and uncomfortable, it is much easier to just go through it than to avoid it and suffer with it for years.
Think of emotional energy as a balloon, blown up fully but not tied off. You can either let it go and it deflates quickly or you can release it a little at a time, squeak by squeak.
Would you rather take a deep breath and let it go or squeak by, suffering for a long time?
There is nothing wrong with either way. It is simply a matter of deciding how you want to experience your life.
Just like spring offers such an amazing contrast to winter here in Minnesota, painful emotions offer a powerful contrast to the experience of joy. It is through my experiences of pain that I have a deeper understanding and appreciation of all the blessings and happiness in my life.
Allowing yourself to feel the full range of the human emotional spectrum can
make your experience more fully alive and authentic.
Take care of yourself today! Go outside. Experience the richness of spring! Enjoy being alive!
Love,
Karen

20 Mar 2005
Hi!
I am so grateful to have children. My children have always been my greatest teachers.
Today I picked up my seven-year-old daughter and my nine-year-old son from school. As my daughter joyfully leaped into the back seat she cheerfully proclaimed, “I cried in P.E. today. I missed Daddy (Her father lives in another state and they don’t get to see each other very often.)”
“But,” she went on to tell me, “I liked crying because then I got to be happy again and everyone in my class and my teacher hugged me.”
My son piped in with, “Yeah, that happens to me sometimes. I just think about it for a little bit then I go on with what I’m doing.”
My children’s resiliency and matter-of-fact acceptance of their emotional state kind of amazed me. How many times to we, as adults, get lost in our emotional states, react inappropriately to situations or simply put our emotions aside? How many of us would have the courage to break down and cry for a moment in the middle of a group of people?
So many of us, me included, have been struggling with intense emotional energy these last few months. It seems as if, on a global level, we are all processing and releasing old limitations and emotional wounds.
I personally have struggled and resisted this process in many ways. I tend to over-analyze my emotions as a way of avoiding dealing with them. If I can come up with a logical reason for my feelings then I can kind of make them go away. How many of you do that?
AVOIDING EMOTIONAL ENERGY
Most of us have developed powerful strategies to help us avoid our emotional energy, especially when we are experiencing emotions that are uncomfortable and even painful. Some common ways to avoid feelings are rationalization, finding other “more important” things to be upset about, shutting down and engaging in addictive behaviors (And I don’t just mean the ones we consider bad. An addiction is any kind of behavior that takes you away from being fully present with an emotion.).
But, I believe that we have a fundamental misunderstanding about emotions. Emotions are not just an experience we can avoid. Emotions are energy. We have to process emotional energy; let it run it’s natural course or else we run the risk of misdirecting emotional energy and having it hurt us in destructive and chaotic ways.
In the Human Design System, there is an energy center called the Emotional Solar Plexus (The large triangle on the right side of the chart. For more information about the emotional solar plexus click here: http://joyfulmission.com/joyful_mission_00000d.htm).
That is how vital emotional energy is to the human personality. We actually have our own energy system for processing emotional energy!
LIGHTNING BOLTS AND HOT POTATOES
Emotional energy is like lightning. Once lightning strikes, it will take the path of least resistance to get to the ground. Emotional energy will do the same thing.
Here’s an example for you. The other day my youngest daughter and my step-daughter got into a fight over who stuck their tongue out at the other first. Big fight. Big feelings.
At first I tried to make them give each other an apology and scolded them for not working it out. Instead of calming down, they got even more mad at each other and retreated with great flair to opposite ends of the house. Both of them were crying hysterically.
So, I tried a different parenting tactic. I went to each of my daughters individually and simply listened to each side of the story. Within about two minutes they were both hugging and kissing each other. And they went right on playing as if nothing had happened.
All they really wanted was someone to listen to them. They just needed to express their feelings and have them respectfully acknowledged. They really didn’t need me to fix anything, just hear them out.
The intense energy between all of us can be like an emotional Hot Potato. We all juggle powerful emotional energy that is simply longing for appropriate expression. When we can’t find an outlet for the energy, we start lobbing it at each other until it finds some kind of an outlet.
How many times as adults do we throw emotional Hot Potatoes at other people instead of dealing with our emotions appropriately? And how many times do we deny other people the gift of appropriate emotional expression because it is too uncomfortable for us to deal with?
I find that if I simply allow my kids to tell me about their feelings, the fight will go away or be handled very quickly. They really don’t seem to care much about the actual issue. They just want to have their side of the story, and their emotions, really heard.
You know, a hot potato can be hard to handle. But when it cools down enough, it can be a delicious meal. Allowing someone to express their emotions freely is a true act of love and sometimes courage.
And, the freedom to appropriately share emotional energy is a true building block to intimacy.
Imagine how all your relationships would change if the people around felt that it was safe to share all their feelings with you without fear of getting shut down, being judged or punished.
What if the people in your life felt like they could share their emotions with you without having to make excuses, cover up, lie or blame? What if they could communicate their feelings effectively?
How would that one simple shift in how you handle emotional energy change the way you relate to all the people in your life?
ACCEPT YOURSELF
And, what if you could then extend that same level of acceptance and understanding of emotional energy to YOURSELF? What if you could make it okay to completely accept your own feelings without shutting down, judging or punishing yourself?
As I mentioned, emotional energy is like lightning. We can experience it, and let it run it’s full, natural course. Or, we can stuff it and deny it.
But, imagine what happens when we stuff and deny emotional lightning bolts. They don’t go away. They ricochet around inside of us until we blow up at something that seems sometimes insignificant, or we manifest physical symptoms, depression and even serious illnesses.
I can’t tell you how many times I have had clients that have manifested huge grief reactions over seemingly insignificant events in their lives. It is not uncommon. Usually, with a little detective work, we find an old emotional wound that needs to be expressed and honored. With a little self-love and acceptance, the old energy can be released and you can move forward.
I am still learning to do this myself. But I have discovered that if I simply and lovingly allow my emotions to follow their natural course, they dissipate rather quickly.

Dear Christiane,
Attention - Parents, Grandparents, Educators, and Anyone Who Loves Children:
The Time To Make Important Decisions About How You Raise and Educate
Your Children Is Right Now. Mark October 28, 9:00 am Central Time on
your calendar!
"Give Me Three Hours Of Your Time And I Will Show You How The Hope For
The Future Of Our World Is Sitting Undiscovered In The Heart Of Your
Precious Children (And How You Can Help Your Child Unleash His Hidden
Magnificence)."
Have you noticed that kids today seem different? Do you have an amazing
child in your life who just doesn't seem to fit in? Are you and your
child struggling with school, homework and discipline? Does your child
have intuitive insights and a wisdom that seems, at times, beyond her years?
You may have an Indigo Child.
Many educators, psychologists and child development experts will tell
you that kids today are different. Professional counselors,
psychiatrists and psychologists are being flooded by families in crisis
with "difficult", "hyperactive" and out of control children.
More and more children are being diagnosed and pharmaceutically treated
for Attention Deficit Disorder, Asberger's Syndrome and other
psychological disorders. Many of these children are put on Ritalin by a
school system that feels a need to control them.
Children today ARE different!
Undeniably, children truly are different today. We see the evidence
everyday in schools, at home and on the news.
Some people believe that these "new" children have come to Earth now to
help create deep social and spiritual changes. Others believe that these
children as expressing signs of distress related to our high divorce
rate, premature exposure to sex and violence or too much pressure in
school.
Parenting Indigo Children is Challenging!
Whatever the source of this behavior, if you are a parent of one of
these children, you are probably feeling overwhelmed, despairing and
exhausted. Indigo Children take an enormous amount of emotional energy!
Listed below are some of the defining characteristics of Indigos. Use
this list as a survey, to determine whether your child fits these
characteristics:
. They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like
it).
. They have a feeling of "deserving to be here" and are surprised when
others don't share that. Self-worth is not a big issue. They often tell
the parents "who they are".
. They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without
explanation or choice).
. They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line
is difficult for them.
. They get frustrated with systems that are ritual-oriented and don't
require creative thought.
. They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in
school, which makes them seem like "system busters" (nonconforming to
any system).
. They seem antisocial unless they are with their own kind. If there are
no others of like consciousness around them, they will turn inward,
feeling like no other humans understand them. School is often very
difficult for them socially.
. They will not respond to "guilt" discipline ("Wait till your father
gets home and finds out what you did!").
. They are not shy in letting you know what they need.
-from The IndigoChildren by Lee Carroll and JanTober
These children, although very challenging at times, are profoundly
gifted and, when properly guided, can be very powerful. If we, as
parents and educators, do not learn how to help these children manage
their emotional energy (as well as our own), our experiences can be very
trying and even extremely damaging.
Parents And Educators Have To Know How To Raise and Educate These Kids!
These kids learn differently. They are very, very smart. They are
compassionate, powerful, dynamic, spiritually and emotionally gifted.
These kids are our future.
As a parent or an educator, you WANT to do right by your children. You
WANT to raise strong, healthy, empowered children but you might not know
how. Old parenting and educational strategies and styles just don't work.
Let's face it. These kids are different. To do right by our children, we
have to understand them and then revolutionize our parenting style and
our educational system.
The old ways just don't work anymore.
To raise strong, successful, happy and healthy children you have to
learn new skills and knowledge.
If you are looking for new, effective ways to raise your amazing child,
then please join me, Saturday, October 28, 2006 at 9:00 am for a special
3-hour teleseminar, The Indigo Revolution.
During this teleseminar you will learn:
. How to understand your child's behavior and why they do what they do!
. How to effectively discipline your child and strengthen your relationship.
. How to really listen to your child.
. What is Attention Deficit Disorder and how you can treat it without drugs.
. How to parent for high self-esteem.
. How to have together as a family.
. How to raise an internally motivated child.
. How to "peer-pressure proof" your child.
. Learn how to handle intense emotional issues with grace and calmness.
. What is the special purpose of your Indigo child.
. How families and school systems must change to help these children.
. Embrace parenting as a spiritual journey.
. Get your kids to cooperate at home and school without yelling,
screaming and begging!
. How to use EFT to help your children.
. How you and your child interact based on your unique Human Design.
. And much more!
Look, I know how tough it can be to raise kids today. I am a single
mother of four children, a nurse and a child development specialist.
Over the last 20 years I have noticed big changes in children and families.
When I first started teaching parent education classes, very few parents
had really big problems and struggles. Even fewer parents had children
with Attention Deficit Disorder.
In the last parenting class I taught, over one-third of the families had
children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. The families in this
class had big struggles and these were highly educated and very
motivated parents who had an enormous number of resources available to them.
When they learned about Indigo Children, they were shocked and relieved
to finally have answers for what many parents already knew what was true
in their hearts. These children aren't a problem. They are the answer.
And we, as parents and educators, have to start looking at what is RIGHT
and what is PERFECT about these kids. When we focus on growing what is
working and continuing to find solutions that are healthy and empowering
for this magnificent new generation of people, we will all be working
together for a more perfect and beautiful world.

If Only We Believe
If Only We Believe...
To believe is to know that every day is a new
beginning.
It is to trust that miracles happen and dreams really
do come true.
To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,
To know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of
the man in the moon.
To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,
The innocence of a child's eyes and the beauty of an
aging hand, for it is through their teachings we learn
to love.
To believe is to find the strength and courage that
lies within us when it is time to pick up the pieces
and begin again.
To believe is to know we are not alone, that life is a
gift, and this is our time to cherish it.
To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just
waiting to happen, and all our hopes and dreams are
within reach...
If only we believe.

Are You Here...
It is said, to "take no thought of tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself". Another way to understand this is to realize that "only this moment exist".
One moment ago does not exist (did it exist? - you interpret that it did, yet no one else can interpret in the same way that it was so.)
One moment from now does not exist (will it exist? - how will you interpret it to happen? - how will you create it?)
I entertained a thought a moment ago to sit down and write this, yet the moment I was writing in is not the same, and the thought has been changed by it; the doing of it has changed it. By translating the thought to text, it has become something else...it has become more...and it has also become what has past already.
In other words, in this moment I have created a summation of what was prior to it. Everything I have done or thought before becomes everything that is right now...nothing else. Everything I now see in this moment, I created...I made it so. I drew it to me.
I can not summize what happens next until I have reached that next moment...so in fact, the next moment can not be reached from here. I do not arrive...I must be present. The present is the only thing that is possible.
Therefore, yesterday is imagined as happened and tomorrow is imagined as will happen...and in both cases, I can only hold an image of either...which are truly and uniquely, completely my own. Images therefore can be changed...meaning images of before and images of later are only a reference I decide them to be.
To center into my present, I become one with it and realize nothing else may exist here that I do not allow here, and it is not so much an allowance, as it is a creating.
I create, with absolute authority, "this very moment"...one after another after another after another...
Are you here......

100 Quotes From "The Secret"
Mindful~Heartful
Date: Oct 18, 2006 9:06 PM
Thank you Rob!
1. We all work with one infinite power
2. The Secret is the Law of Attraction (LOA)
3. Whatever is going on in your mind is what you are attracting
4. We are like magnets - like attract like. You become AND attract what you think
5. Every thought has a frequency. Thoughts send out a magnetic energy
6. People think about what they don't want and attract more of the same
7. Thought = creation. If these thoughts are attached to powerful emotions (good or bad) that speeds the creation
8. You attract your dominant thoughts
9. Those who speak most of illness have illness, those who speak most of prosperity have it…etc…
10. It's not “wishful” thinking.
11. You can't have a universe without the mind entering into it
12. Choose your thoughts carefully – you are a masterpiece of your life
13. It's OK that thoughts don't manifest into reality immediately (if we saw a picture of an elephant and it instantly appeared, that would be too soon)
14. EVERYTHING in your life you have attracted – accept that fact – it's true.
15. Your thoughts cause your feelings
16. We don't need to complicate all the “reasons” behind our emotions. It's much simpler than that. Two categories – good feelings, bad feelings.
17. Thoughts that bring about good feelings mean you are on the right track. Thoughts that bring about bad feelings means you are not on the right track.
18. Whatever it is you are feeling is a perfect reflection of what is in the process of becoming
19. You get exactly what you are FEELING
20. Happy feelings will attract more happy circumstances
21. You can begin feeling whatever you want (even if it's not there)… the universe will correspond to the nature of your song
22. What you focus on with your thought and feeling is what you attract into your experience
23. What you think and what you feel and what actually manifests is ALWAYS a match - no exception
24. Shift your awareness
25. “You create your own universe as you go along” Winston Churchill
26. It's important to feel good ( ( ( (((good))) ) ) )
27. You can change your emotion immediately – by thinking of something joyful, or singing a song, or remembering a happy experience
28. When you get the hang of this, before you know it you will KNOW you are the creator
29. Life can and should be phenomenal – and it will be when you consciously apply the Law of Attraction
30. Universe will re-arrange itself accordingly
31. Start by using this sentence for all of your wants: “I'm so happy and grateful now that…… ”
32. You don't need to know HOW the universe is going to rearrange itself
33. LOA is simply figuring out for yourself what will generate the positive feelings of having it NOW
34. You might get an inspired thought or idea to help you move towards what you want faster
35. The universe likes SPEED. Don't delay, don't second-guess, don't doubt…
36. When the opportunity or impulse is there – ACT
37. You will attract everything you require - money, people, connections… PAY ATTENTION to what's being set in front of you
38. You can start with nothing – and out of nothing or no way - a WAY will be provided.
39. HOW LONG??? No rules on time – the more aligned you are with positive feelings the quicker things happen
40. Size is nothing to the universe (unlimited abundance if that's what you wish) We make the rules on size and time
41. No rules according to the universe – you provide the feelings of having it now and the universe will respond
42. Most people offer the majority of their thought in response to what they are observing (bills in the mail, being late, having bad luck….etc..)
43. You have to find a different approach to what is through a different vantage point
44. “All that we are is a result of what we have thought” - Buddha
45. What can you do right now to turn your life around?? Gratitude
46. Gratitude will bring more into our lives immediately
47. What we think about and THANK about is what we bring about
48. What are the things you are grateful for?? Feel the gratitude.. focus on what you have right now that you are grateful for
49. Play the picture in your mind - focus on the end result
50. VISUALIZE!!! Rehearse your future
51. VISUALIZE!!! See it, feel it! This is where action begins
52. Feel the joy – feel the happiness :o)
53. An affirmative thought is 100 times more powerful than a negative one
54. “What this power is, I cannot say. All I know is that it exists.” Alexander Graham Bell
55. Our job is not to worry about the “How”. The “How” will show up out of the commitment and belief in the “what”
56. The Hows are the domain of the universe. It always knows the quickest, fastest, most harmonious way between you and your dream
57. If you turn it over to the universe, you will be surprised and dazzled by what is delivered – this is where magic and miracles happen
58. Turn it over to the universe daily… but it should never be a chore.
59. Feel exhilarated by the whole process – high, happy, in tune
60. The only difference between people who are really living this way is they have habituated ways of being.
61. They remember to do it all the time
62. Create a Vision Board – pictures of what you want to attract – every day look at it and get into the feeling state of already having acquired these wants
63. “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.” Albert Einstein
64. Decide what you want – believe you can have it, believe you deserve it, believe it's possible for you
65. Close your eyes and visualize having what you already want - and the feeling of having it already.
66. Focus on being grateful for what you have already – enjoy it!! Then release into the universe. The universe will manifest it.
67. “Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve” W. Clement Stone
68. Set a goal so big that if you achieved it, it would blow your mind.
69. When you have an inspired thought, you must trust it and act on it.
70. How can you become more prosperous?? INTEND IT!!
71. 'checks are coming in the mail regularly'…. or change your bank statement to whatever balance you want in there…. and get behind the feeling of having it.
72. Life is meant to be abundant in ALL areas….
73. Go for the sense of inner joy and peace then all outside things appear
74. We are the creators of our universe
75. Relationships: Treat yourself the way you want to be treated by others – love yourself and you will be loved
76. Healthy respect for yourself
77. For those you work with or interact with regularly – get a notebook and write down positive aspects of each of those people.
78. Write down the things you like most about them (don't expect change from them). Law of attraction will not put you in the same space together if you frequencies don't match
79. When you realize your potential to feel good, you will ask no one to be different in order for you to feel good.
80. You will free yourself from the cumbersome impossibilities of needing to control the world, your friends, your mate, your children…..
81. You are the only one that creates your reality
82. No one else can think or feel for you – its YOU – ONLY YOU.
83. Health: thank the universe for your own healing. Laugh, stress free happiness will keep you healthy.
84. Immune system will heal itself
85. Parts of our bodies are replace every day, every week..etc…. Within a few years we have a brand new body
86. See yourself living in a new body. Hopeful = recovery. Happy = happier biochemistry. Stress degrades the bod.
87. Remove stress from the body and the body regenerates itself. You can heal yourself
88. Learn to become still – and take your attention away from what you don't want, and place your attention on what you wish to experience
89. When the voice and vision on the inside become more profound and clear than the opinions on the outside, then you have mastered your life
90. You are not here to try to get the world to be just as you want it. You are here to create the world around you that you choose.
91. And allow the world as others choose to see it, exist as well
92. People think that if everyone knows the power of the LOA there won't be enough to go around – This is a lie that's been ingrained in us and makes so many greedy.
93. The truth is there is more than enough love, creative ideas, power, joy, happiness to go around.
94. All of this abundance begins to shine through a mind that is aware of it's own infinite nature. There's enough for everyone. See it. Believe it. it will show up for you.
95. So let the variety of your reality thrill you as you choose all the things you want… get behind the good feelings of all your wants.
96. Write your script. When you see things you don't want, don't think about them, write about them, talk about them, push against them, or join groups that focus on the don't wants…. remove your attention from don't wants… and place them on do wants
97. We are mass energy. Everything is energy. EVERYTHING.
98. Don't define yourself by your body – it's the infinite being that's connected to everything in the universe.
99. One energy field. Our bodies have distracted us from our energy. We are the infinite field of unfolding possibilities. The creative force.
100. Are your thoughts worthy of you? If not - NOW is the time to change them. You can begin right were you are right now. Nothing matters but this moment and what you are focusing your attention on.

Thank you Rob!
1. We all work with one infinite power
2. The Secret is the Law of Attraction (LOA)
3. Whatever is going on in your mind is what you are attracting
4. We are like magnets - like attract like. You become AND attract what you think
5. Every thought has a frequency. Thoughts send out a magnetic energy
6. People think about what they don't want and attract more of the same
7. Thought = creation. If these thoughts are attached to powerful emotions (good or bad) that speeds the creation
8. You attract your dominant thoughts
9. Those who speak most of illness have illness, those who speak most of prosperity have it…etc…
10. It's not “wishful” thinking.
11. You can't have a universe without the mind entering into it
12. Choose your thoughts carefully – you are a masterpiece of your life
13. It's OK that thoughts don't manifest into reality immediately (if we saw a picture of an elephant and it instantly appeared, that would be too soon)
14. EVERYTHING in your life you have attracted – accept that fact – it's true.
15. Your thoughts cause your feelings
16. We don't need to complicate all the “reasons” behind our emotions. It's much simpler than that. Two categories – good feelings, bad feelings.
17. Thoughts that bring about good feelings mean you are on the right track. Thoughts that bring about bad feelings means you are not on the right track.
18. Whatever it is you are feeling is a perfect reflection of what is in the process of becoming
19. You get exactly what you are FEELING
20. Happy feelings will attract more happy circumstances
21. You can begin feeling whatever you want (even if it's not there)… the universe will correspond to the nature of your song
22. What you focus on with your thought and feeling is what you attract into your experience
23. What you think and what you feel and what actually manifests is ALWAYS a match - no exception
24. Shift your awareness
25. “You create your own universe as you go along” Winston Churchill
26. It's important to feel good ( ( ( (((good))) ) ) )
27. You can change your emotion immediately – by thinking of something joyful, or singing a song, or remembering a happy experience
28. When you get the hang of this, before you know it you will KNOW you are the creator
29. Life can and should be phenomenal – and it will be when you consciously apply the Law of Attraction
30. Universe will re-arrange itself accordingly
31. Start by using this sentence for all of your wants: “I'm so happy and grateful now that…… ”
32. You don't need to know HOW the universe is going to rearrange itself
33. LOA is simply figuring out for yourself what will generate the positive feelings of having it NOW
34. You might get an inspired thought or idea to help you move towards what you want faster
