Creating Positive Relationships in Your Life
by Candace Warren



When you think of the relationships in your life, do you feel joy, happiness and gratitude? Or do you feel sadness, resentment or jealousy? Whatever you feel is created by your thoughts. Most of us have thoughts by default and d not realize we can change them. Our thoughts may be focused on what we do not want or they may be scattered. Purposely focus your thoughts on the relationships you will create in your life (or anything else you envision). Do you feel joy? That feeling of joy will attract more joy into your life. If you allow negative thoughts in, you will attract more negativity into your life.

Start by acknowledging the relationships in your life and be grateful for them. When you arise each morning, start saying all the things for which are grateful and all the people for whom you are grateful. In fact, be grateful for the life you are creating and act as if it already exists. Consistently say you are grateful for the wonderful relationships that you have in your life and they will appear at the right time. As the wonderful relationships appear, the negative relationships will naturally disappear from your life without effort. Be consistent, do no skip a day.

To help yourself visualize the life you are creating, find pictures that reflect your image and make you feel happy and joyous. Look at the pictures as much as possible everyday, especially before going to sleep. Tape your pictures in a notebook to carry with you for consistent viewing. Or post your pictures on a board in your home where you can look at them throughout the day. Write words that express happiness, gratefulness and joy on your board, along with your name. Do this everyday.

Manifesting change in your life may take up to 30 days. That is short compared to the time people spend creating negative relationships. For 30 days straight be grateful for everything in your life and everything you are creating in your life, as though it already exists. Look at your visualization notebook or board when you get up each morning, throughout the day and before you go to sleep at night. Somewhere in that 30 day time period ideas, people and events will start appearing in your life. Pay close attention and if any of these feel right, then act on them. Carry out interactions with that idea, event or person that will eventually lead you to the relationships you are creating in your life. Let go of your fears and listen to your inner voice. Also, continue to be conscious of your thoughts and the minute they are negative, change them to positive. After ninety consecutive days of being grateful and visualizing the creation of your life, your positive and faithful thought patterns will be a natural part of you. Continue being conscious of all thoughts, until gratefulness and positive thoughts are who you are. Then you are and can just be.

You are in the driver's seat. Only take thought trips that are full of gratitude, joy and happiness and your feelings will match your thoughts. Remember that your life is a reflection of your feelings which manifest from your thoughts. So, drive carefully.

Have you seen "The Secret" movie or read "The Secret" book? The following is a summary of what the Secret teaches us about relationships.

You can completely transform any relationship, no matter what it's like right now. Every single relationship you have is a reflection of how you feel inside about you. You are a magnet attracting to you all things, via the signal you are emitting through your thoughts and feelings. Every relationship you have and every interaction with every person is a reflection of your own thoughts and feelings in that very moment.

To transform every single relationship you ave in your life:

Fall in love with YOU! (You must love yourself deeply).

Make lists of hundreds and hundreds of wonderful things about you. Keep adding to it every day.

Know that you are perfect. (Do not think any negative thoughts about you).

Know that you are worthy and deserving of anything and everything you could possibly want in your life.

Focus on the wonderful things in every person. Look for only those things.

Do not blame or criticize anybody, ever.

Set an intention that you are going to see the best in everything and everyone.

Make your happiness the number one thing in your life. (Happiness is an inside job.)

Free yourself of the responsibility of trying to make other people happy. (Respect and love them enough to allow them to take care of their own happiness).

Get your attention off those things in others that don't make you feel good.

Appreciate and love yourself in every moment you can.

Do not expect others to behave in a way you want, so you will be happy. Release yourself forevermore and know that you alone control your happiness and that it is a choice, no matter what anyone else is doing.

Love and respect yourself completely.

Know that you are PERFECT right now.

Enterprising Empowerment

----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------
From: EarthMama


Has your confidence been high or have you felt very energetic & upbeat lately?

Well this could lead you to pursue goals with a feeling of empowerment. Enterprising ideas could come to you in this an energetic state, inspiring you to make the most of your endeavors. There has never been a better time than right now because the universe supports your intentions and confidence, bringing to you the people and situations that will enable you to reach your goals perhaps in ways you never dreamed of (trust me on this because I am personally experiencing it right now!). This is the power of confidence, both in yourself and in the universe. It makes you a magnet for all of your heart's desires and opens up the best avenues to bring them to you. As you move toward your goals with confidence, know that they are also moving toward you.

As we make steps to realize our goals, we are bound to encounter challenges and frustrations along the way. Instead of accepting them as the universe rejecting you or trying to stop you, see them as redirection—gentle nudges to help you stay on the right path. The situations these challenges bring help us refine our goals and narrow down our options to only the very best. Your feeling of empowerment can help you see that these situations actually give you better information to build from and more streamlined tools to use. Being enterprising means that you are willing to enter into the unknown to create something new, different, and perhaps surprising. Your confidence, combined with your willingness to face the unknown and follow the directions life's experiences offer, make you truly empowered to reach literally all of your goals.

Teaching From Experience

----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------
From: EarthMama



While walking along your current path, you may find yourself taking on the responsibility of guiding or teaching others. You may even be in a position that you can be trusted to shape and inform younger minds and that they may be able to benefit from the wisdom of your experience. Trust is an essential ingredient between a student and teacher, especially when we venture into the realm of life lessons or spirituality. So when one of us feels we are trustworthy and have something that can be learned from our personal experience, that is a valuable gift we have to offer. Today, and every day for that matter, you may be able to share some of your wisdom to help another, regardless of age.

Technology has enabled us to learn from others and share our wisdom through many different channels; whether writing a book, leading a seminar, posting a blog, or even just sharing your personal experience with a given situation in conversation we can share our ideas and thoughts with others. We may choose to teach professionally to make a difference in someone's life, or we can volunteer with an organization. We may be moved to campaign for a cause or for public office. If you are inspired to share your personal wealth of knowledge to help others through the challenges of life, opportunities are seeking you just as you are seeking them. When you find the situation you seek, you stand to learn as much from others as they can learn from you...remember that the best teachers remain students throughout their entire life! Following your heart to guide & help others could lead you to a place you had never even imagined, and your life will most certainly be enriched because of it.

Universal Principles

----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------

From: The Rememberers

'Universal Principles'

1. Energy

The basic component of the Universe, energy, occurs in either materialized or unmaterialized form. All that we see and feel is an expression of energy.

Energy is synonymous with love. When we resist the flow of energy, or love, we experience discomfort. When we align with the energy flowing around us, we feel joyful and at peace.




2. Infinite Intelligence, or God

Within all energy is an intelligence that is infinite, eternal and purposeful. This Infinite Intelligence, which we sometimes refer to as God, or simply love, is the source of all creative expression and the essential power in the Universe.

The way we view our Infinite Intelligence, or God, is precisely the way we experience life.




3. Oneness

Since the essence of everything is pure loving energy, in the truest sense, we are One. When we feel our connection to our Oneness, we feel the power of who we really are.

Our Oneness, love, is indivisible. Whenever we attempt to withhold love from anyone, we withhold love from everyone, including ourselves.




4. There Is Nothing Outside Of Us

In order to have our human experiences, we created the apparent reality that we are living outside the Oneness; that there are things and people that can affect us without our consent.

The truth is that there is nothing outside of us; all that we see is our Self.




5. Perfection

Our Oneness is perfect and expresses this perfection as unconditional love and support. Whatever unfolds is God happening. When we see other than unconditional love unfolding, we are not seeing clearly. We create unclarity to have the experiences that we came into the human form to have.

When we are ready to see with greater clarity, we embrace whatever is before us in unconditional love, trusting that the Universe, in Its constant expression of unconditional love, is sending us the perfect support. With practice, our clarity grows, along with our appreciation for the unconditional love and support that is always present.




6. Beliefs

Under the guidance of our Souls, we intentionally adopt the beliefs we hold in order to provide ourselves with the precise experiences we are having. These beliefs help us hide our power so that our journey as humans can unfold as we planned before we entered this realm.

The urge to explore life as a human beyond the limitations of these beliefs is a signal that our Soul Selves are looking to guide us in finding and reclaiming the power we had previously hidden, and to awaken us to the truth of who we really are.




7. Intuition, Feelings and Power

Our Infinite Intelligence communicates to us through our intuition, which we access through our feelings. The more willing we are to feel our feelings, the more able we are to connect with the power that resides in them.

The true power in the Universe is a totally peaceful power.




8. Mutual Support

Our Universe functions as a mutual support system in which each and every thing in existence relates to and affects every other thing. Every person and circumstance in our lives is there to support us by reflecting back to us the present state of our consciousness.

The prevalent belief that we are naturally competitive and adversarial is just a mirroring back to us of our acceptance of that belief. The more we look for the support that is present in each event and circumstance in our lives, the more we appreciate how perfect the Universe’s support for us truly is.




9. The Mirror Principle

Everything that we see and feel is a reflection of the state of our own consciousness. Every person we attract into our lives is showing us a perception we hold about ourselves. Every feeling expressed by another mirrors a feeling deep within us.

This reflection is a gift, for it allows us to be aware of the beliefs we hold , and the power that we have hidden in them.




10. Nonjudgment

We have been carefully taught to evaluate and judge much of what we experience. However, right and wrong, good and bad are just beliefs, places where we have hidden a lot of our power.

The truth is that everything that occurs is just another event or circumstance. Judging something keeps whatever we judge the way we judge it. Also, judging anyone or anything tells us that we are judging ourselves in the same way.

Judging creates discomfort within us that can only be relieved by opening our hearts, first to the judgment and then to the person or thing we have judged. Expanding this openhearted energy leads to the joyful feeling of unconditional love for ourselves as the wholeness and completeness of who we really are.




11. Purpose

Our Soul knows our purpose for this lifetime and initially supports us by helping us hide our power and our knowing so that we may have the experiences we came here to have. When we are ready to reconnect with infinite intelligence, our Soul supports us in uncovering our power and our knowing. We are always on purpose, and we are always perfect support for experiencing and expressing ourselves in accordance with our purpose.




12. Comfort and Discomfort

Our bodies are magnificent instruments that we create to support us in having the experiences we come to the human form to have. Our bodies are created and maintained in consciousness. They mirror the state of our consciousness, which includes the collective consciousness beliefs in how to look, act, age and die.

Unencumbered by our beliefs, our consciousness is unlimited, as are our bodies. The natural state of our consciousness is perfect ease, as is the natural state of our bodies. The limited beliefs we have about our bodies are there to love and embrace just the way they are. This opens the energy held in the beliefs as it opens the energy in our bodies from that of dis-ease to ease.




13. Abundance

Abundance is our natural state. Everything we experience is part of the abundance. When limitation appears, we are seeing a reflection of our beliefs in limitation. Opening these beliefs provides us with a clearer view of our abundance.




14. Giving and Receiving

Giving and receiving always occurs in balance. It is important to receive gratefully as it is to give voluntarily, generously, and with no expectations. Our willingness to keep the energy flowing in and out of our lives supports the energy in expanding.

The corollary to the principle of giving and receiving is that we give only to ourselves. Since we are all One, when we are giving to another, we are giving to ourselves.




15. Nonattachment and Freedom

Our perceived need to hold on to anything or anyone demonstrates our belief in shortage and personal incompleteness. Holding on to anything -- people or possessions -- blocks the flow of energy around our experience with the person or object and reduces the joy of the experience. It also inhibits new people and new things from coming into our lives.

As we open our hearts and expand our trust in the natural abundance of the Universe, we give ourselves and everyone else the gift of freedom.




16. Expressing Who We Really Are

Each of us has one or more talents we love to express. When we are fully and freely expressing who we really are, we feel joyful and fulfilled.

Since how we see and feel about ourselves is how we see and feel about other people, feeling more love for ourselves is the most mutually supportive focus we can have




17. Means and Ends

Means and ends are the same. The action and out come are one.

To enjoy a life that works perfectly, we see and feel the perfection of everything and everyone, including ourselves. To experience the natural abundance of the Universe, we feel and express gratitude for everything just the way it is.




18. Harmony in Relationships

Every relationship in our lives reflects our relationship with ourselves. Every person we attract is there to support us in opening our hearts and reclaiming our power.

When we feel love for ourselves, and the perfection of ourselves, just the way we are, we attract loving and harmonious relationships with other people.




19. The Universe Handles the Details

Taking care of the details of our lives is generally considered a rational-mind activity. However, when our rational minds are active, we shut out our Infinite Intelligence, which has the capacity to handle the details in ways that are vastly more supportive of us and everyone else.

As we learn to relinquish our rational thinking and surrender to our intuition -- our connection to Infinite Intelligence -- we discover how easily, effortlessly and spontaneously events unfold for us.

Practicing Nonattachment

----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------
From: JoeAtom8


Allowing Our Children To Be
Practicing Nonattachment


Parenting asks us to rise to some of the most difficult challenges this world has to offer, and one of its greatest paradoxes arises around the issue of attachment. On the one hand, successful parenting requires that we love our children, and most of us love in a very attached way. On the other hand, it also requires that we let go of our children at the appropriate times, which means we must practice some level of nonattachment. Many parents find this difficult because we love our children fiercely, more than we will ever love anyone, and this can cause us to overstep our bounds with them as their independence grows. Yet truly loving them requires that we set them free.

Attachment to outcome is perhaps the greatest obstacle on the parenting path, and the one that teaches us the most about the importance of practicing nonattachment. We commonly perceive our children to be extensions of ourselves, imagining that we know what's best for them, but our children are people in their own right with their own paths to follow in this world. They may be called to move in directions we fear, don't respect, or don't understand, yet we must let them go. This letting go happens gradually throughout our lives with our children until we finally honor them as fully grown adults who no longer require our guidance. At this point, it is important that we treat them as peers who may or may not seek our input into their lives. This allows them, and us, to fully realize the greatest gift parents can offer their offspring -independence.

Letting go in any area of life requires a deep trust in the universe, in the overall meaning and purpose of existence. Remembering that there is more to us and our children than meets the eye can help us practice nonattachment, even when we feel overwhelmed by concern and the desire to interfere. We are all souls making our way in the world and making our way, ultimately, back to the same source. This can be our mantra as we let our children go in peace and confidence.

Mistaken Idenity

----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------
From: spiritofrebirth


A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside.

"Your son is here," she said to the old man.

She had to repeat the words several timesbefore the patient's eyes opened.

Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly saw the young uniformed
Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man's limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement.

The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed.All through the night
the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward,holding the old man's hand and offering
him words of love and strength.Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away
and rest awhile.

He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was oblivious of her and of
the night noises of the hospital - the clanking of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night
staff members exchanging greetings, the cries and moans of the other patients.

Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only held
tightly to his son all through the night.

Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had
been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.

Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her.

"Who was that man?" he asked. The nurse was startled, "He was your father," she answered.
"No, he wasn't," the Marine replied. "I never saw him before in my life."

"Then why didn't you say something when I took you to him?"

"I knew right away there had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his
son just wasn't here. When I realized that he was too sick

to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed me, I stayed."

The next time someone needs you ... just be there. Stay.
