The Best to You Today! It is good to take time each week to devote to spiritual growth or giving service to others. If you cannot do a whole day, then even a block of time that is committed every week. Then do not allow the world to make excuses for why you cannot fulfill your commitment. Own this time and treasure it.

Soul song is like a spiritual rain than showers down on your entire subtle body. The drops of bliss will radiate out until the entire surface of your subtle body is covered with these harmonizing vibrations. Even without hearing them, you can ask them to reactivate. Ask the Creator of All That Is to have your High Self reactivate them every 15 minutes.

This time on earth is precious. Because of Mother Earth's transition, many things are being made available that have never previously been taught or given. These Ask an Angel Messages are one of them. We are very honored and pleased that you have chosen to participate. You not only receive blessings, but you then also radiate these blessings out to all you meet each day. Enjoy.

It is important to bless the objects that are close to you every day. This includes shoes, jewelry, purses, cell phones and clothes. The following is based on Fred Payne's recommendations: First connect into the Creator of All That Is. Start behind your heart, up to the top of your head, a few feet above, then on to the Creator of All That Is, back down to where you started, down to your tail bone, into the earth a few feet, all the way to the center of the earth. Then imagine a tube of golden light going up and down this connection. If possible, have your palms on either side of the item. Otherwise, envision your hands on either side of it You can do several items at once.
Suggested wording: 'Creator of All That Is, I am asking that you bless this ___________. Sever all connections to any other detrimental consciousnesses including person, place, owner, Creator, source, influence, user and/or contactor. Transmute any toxin or poison. Creator of All That Is bless this _______________________ and bring in into perfect resonance, rhythm, balance and harmony with all that I AM that I AM - my core, soul, DNA and history. I am asking that this be done now, so be it, we are thanking Thee, and so it is done now.'
Then visualize the golden light coming down from the Creator of All That Is to your heart, then out your arms to your palms and into the object.

It is such a joy to have your participation in the Ask an Angel messages. Mother Earth thanks you. The chanting saints thank you. I thank you. Vibration is the basis of all life and consciousness. Music can change our physiology. That is why music is such a key part of the movie experience - the music and sound actually direct our emotional response to the scene. Most of us enjoy something stimulating from time to time in our entertainment, but it is good to follow up with something music wise that brings your body back into harmony. You can even just sing or hum something to yourself.

            Press PLAY to hear the Soul Song.

There are spiritual goals that we have set for ourselves. With the changing of this age, the possibilities are expanding. Do not limit your spiritual dreams to what you could envision before. Let the Creator of All That Is know that you are willing to reflect more of his glory. You will be amazed at what will unfold.

Remember that Jesus said, 'Where two or more are gathered in my name, lo I am there with you.' All spiritual work is more powerful when done as a team. Have your friends work with you. You can also have a team on the spiritual level. Whether working alone or together, remember to invite in your spiritual team before starting. When done offer thanks and have them respectfully return.

You have become linked to Mother Earth, the solar system, the Milky Way galaxy, its galactic cluster, the Universe and other Universes with these messages and soul songs. Your commitment to these messages and soul songs has started a chain reaction that reverberates throughout the universes. They are very grateful to you and send blessings back in return. Enjoy.

            Press PLAY to hear the Soul Song.

It is a blessing to receive these messages for you each day. Your desire to receive these messages has started a flow of knowledge and blessings. By making this commitment to you and Mother Earth many blessings are being unlocked and sent to me. These in return are sent on to you. It is an adventure in consciousness for all of us. Enjoy the ride!

Many have seen that the spiritual transition of Mother Earth is coming. It has already started. There are concerns about disasters. Many of these are based on the previous consciousness of those living on Mother Earth. However, these changes have been eased by the efforts of light workers around the globe. Do not slack off in your intentions and efforts in these areas. Whenever you listen to a soul song, also invite in the soul, mind, and body of Mother Earth to receive blessings.

            Press PLAY to hear the Soul Song.

The future is not fixed. It can change for us personally based on decisions we make and healings that we have chosen to implement. Mother Earth's future is likewise not fixed and is linked to our evolving consciousness. As we throw off detrimental beliefs and choose joy over suffering, we bring light and power into our own lives. We also are empowering Mother Earth and easing her transition. Be sure to invite the soul, mind, and body of Mother Earth to receive blessings before you listen to a soul song.

There is a request you can make to the Creator of All That Is that aids in protecting you from outside influences. It is a request for 'total personal responsibility within and without.' Most beings with bad intentions toward you do not want to take responsibility for having done things. Thus if they must bear the consequences of their actions, they do not carry them out. Note that this request also makes you responsible for your actions, which is the grown-up more evolved way to act. You will no longer be able to pass the buck.

Here is the technique (from Fred Payne): Connect in to the Creator of All That Is: Start behind your heart, up to the top of your head, a few feet above, then on to the Creator of All That Is, back down to where you started, down to your tail bone, into the earth a few feet, all the way to the center of the earth. Then imagine a tube of golden light going up and down this connection.

Then say: 'Creator of All That Is surround my entire body-mind-field complex with a field of total personal responsibility that is continuously active from both within and without. Maintain this field at all times, in all time frames, dimensions, between dimensions, between betweens, and all universes. Do this now. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is done. It is done. It is done.' Send this request to the Creator and then see or feel it come down to surround you.

It is always good to take time every once in a while and see how your life is progressing health wise, supply wise, in your relationships and spiritually. This can be done every couple of months. Actually writing it down in a journal will allow you to go back and see how things are changing. With the Ask an Angel messages and Phoenix Transformations, things in your life should be taking a shift to going better. It is easy when things are going well to forget that they were not that way before. As always, give thanks for the blessings in your life.

            Press PLAY to hear the Soul Song.

The Bible says, 'In all things give thanks.' That means, oddly enough, that we should give thanks for anything that happens, even if it does not appear to be a blessing at the time. Your thanks can be followed by a request for wisdom to understand how this event will benefit you. For example, you may lose your job. But it could be that that job was keeping you locked in a situation that had negative consequences or where your growth had become stagnant. Ask to be open to what needs to change and be receptive to the angel intuitions you receive.

            Press PLAY to hear the Soul Song.

Immense blessings are coming your way because of your commitment to receive these Ask an Angel Messages and Phoenix Transformations. Each week, their power and effectiveness grows. Your spiritual life is like a tree in a garden, it needs to be watered regularly. The Ask an Angel Messages and soul songs do that. Then the tree needs fertilizer. The Phoenix Transformations provide that. Plants that are watered and fertilized flourish much more than a similar tree that is not cared for. Because you are nourished spiritually by this program, you will give forth fruit that will them nourish others and Mother Earth. So your commitment to soul song is not only a gift to yourself, but to those around you and the world you live in.

            Press PLAY to hear the Soul Song.

I am so blessed that you are participating in this Ask an Angel and soul song program. The Creator of All That Is sends more gifts to those that treasure and use the gifts that have already been sent. That is why the benefits are increasing both for me as a singer and for you who have committed to receiving the blessing. Mother Earth is also receiving benefits. We are all blessed. I give thanks for this opportunity every day. Thank you, Thank you. Thank you.

Your spiritual channels are being opened further by these messages and soul songs. This means that your intuitions are becoming stronger and more accurate. Ask for guidance in a certain area and then be open to the little 'angel thoughts' that pop into your mind over the next few days. To begin with you may not act on them, but then the universe will show you that you should have. At that time, do not berate yourself. Just laugh and say, 'At least I KNEW.' That means next time you will have a chance to change your life for the better. If you do not have any inkling about something, then you can not make a change that makes a difference. Soon you will learn to trust and act on your 'angel thoughts.'

It is very useful to go back and read spiritual or healing books that you have studied in the past. As your consciousness develops, the next reading will reveal something that you were not aware of before. Let the Creator guide you to the book – see which one attracts your eye or that your hand spontaneously goes for. You can be systematic in your reading, or just open the book at random and trust the Creator to take you to the page that will provide new insight.

            Press PLAY to hear the Soul Song.

I am very honored that you have asked to receive these blessings. It is a joy to go to the recording studio for each song and invite in all the beings that assist. It has become a very sacred space in my home. It is good to develop a place in your home that is dedicated to your spiritual endeavors. The consistent effect of your spiritual practices will create a vibration in that area that will assist your future work and nourish you when you need support. Playing the soul song on your computer transforms that area so that your time on the computer will go more smoothly.

There has been great spiritual progress on the planet in the last fifty years due to people like you making a concerted effort to change their own consciousness. This can be seen in such simple things are more 'no smoking' locations where ever you go. (I can remember having to stand in the smoking section of the airplane while waiting to go to the bathroom.) Before every soul song, I invite in not only the soul, mind and body of every listener, but also that of Mother Earth, the moon, our solar system, our galaxy, our galactic cluster, our universe and other universes, You are invited to receive the blessing for the day's answer as is in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is. Thus your support of this program not only blesses you, but also nourishes the entire cosmos. Thank you for your support and commitment!

We often make a scenario in our minds about what will make us happy. The universe will fulfill your desires, so do watch out what you wish for as you may be stuck with it. But when considering what you want materially, remember to also plan for things that will nourish you spiritually. Envision the time to be able to nourish yourself, your family and your friends. If you only desire material changes, then that is all you will receive and there will still be an underlying unmet spiritual need.

Jesus said that where two or three were gathered together in His name, that he would be there with them. This is a reminder of the importance of getting together, even in small groups, for spiritual study. It is never easy with our busy schedules, but each time you do it, you will be rewarded with blessings. Each time you meet it is good to review what you worked on the time before and tell each other about results that have been noticed. Then, of course, it is good to give thanks both for the results and for the opportunity to meet and grow together.

We can use those things which upset us to point us towards areas that need spiritual growth. When considering an issue, first determine if it is your issue or someone else's issue that you have taken on, or it can be both. Some issues that come from others include how we respond to our mate, judgments about people or events, and illnesses. It is important to clear these issues when you are experiencing them.
Fred Payne has provided the basis for the following clearing after you identify where is comes from:'This belongs to someone else. This is the issue of (person's name or 'another').' AND/OR 'This is my issue. I assume full, complete and total personal free responsibility for this issue and all that it is associated with or caused by it throughout all levels of all that I AM that I AM including my core, genetic, historic and soul levels.'
In both cases, end with:'I fully and completely have, I AM, I will let go of this issue and all that is associated with it or caused by it and all of its matter, energy, space, time, form, function and debris from all levels of all that I AM that I AM including my core, genetic, historic and soul levels, now and throughout the eternal now and forever more. So be it, and so it is done now.'
Exhale fully through the mouth, inhale through the nose, then exhale fully through the mouth with the intention to dissolve this issue. Continue breathing in through the nose and out through the month until it is 100% gone.

One of the blessings of learning healing techniques is that you can use them for your friends and family. The joy of seeing the changes in those you love will inspire you to continue in your practices. I feel so blessed that all of you access these messages and soul songs The transformations are also expanding my vision of what is possible. Let me know what you are experiencing.

There is a blessing that you can do each time you get in your car and before you start driving. 'Dear soul, mind, body of my car, of me (and ___________ [name anyone with you in the car]) as driver (and passengers), all the roads we will be driving on until we return (or get to ______________), all the signals we come to, all the other vehicles that are near us and their drivers and passengers, any creatures and pedestrians we will be near, I love you. You have the ability to get us all there and back easily, safely and on time. Do a good job. Thank you, thank you, thank you.'

If you want to grow spiritually, put that request out to the universe. My request after I turned 60 was that I needed to change what I was doing as, if I continued at my present pace, I would not be where I wanted to be when I dropped my body. In less than a month I was invited to a free Fred Payne seminar on Phoenix Vibrational Healing™. My spiritual growth has snowballed ever since. So if you put your spiritual request out there, it will be fulfilled.

Being together with friends that desire spiritual growth helps all of your development. Since we only have so much time to socialize, it is important to prioritize what we do. At holiday seasons be especially careful about over committing you time. If we get overextended, then we cannot express love to those that mean the most to us.

Writings by spiritual teachers speak to students at many levels. That is why it is useful to go back and read them again and again. Each time, as you grow spiritually, you will draw some insight that your consciousness did not pick up the time before. You can open the book at random and let yourself be led to a passage that is appropriate for you now. If you do not find a new insight that you find helpful after a few pages, then try a different place or go to a different book. Audio books can also be used this way. See which disc you are drawn to put in and which track seems best to listen to.

It is important to keep growing spiritually. There are many teachings and techniques being offered these days. Each one probably has some useful teaching, but may also have other aspects that are not in your highest and best interest. The best way to protect yourself is to connect to the Creator of All That Is before reading a book or attending a lecture/class. Ask that you only receive that which is in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator. Also ask for discernment that you may know what, if any, of the teachings to use. If dowsing to see about something, always specify 'This is in my highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is.' You can also check the percentage of positive benefit and the percentage of detriment.

There is a tradition that to grow spiritually one has to leave where they are and go somewhere else – the mountains, a desert, to a new city. But often spiritual growth and opportunity can come one's way while doing daily tasks. Use the concept of living in the NOW. This can be done by 'Nabbing the Opportunity Wisely.' Perform your daily tasks with diligence and joy, and they can yield unexpected treasure. It was while trying to send out the 1099s for our business, that I found out about a free lecture by Fred Payne. Now I am a Level IX Apprentice in his program of Phoenix Vibrational Healing™. But if I had not been filing the forms on time and then had not 'Nabbed the Opportunity Wisely,' I would have missed what the universe had sent my way.

When we worship or meditate together, the power of the group multiplies the benefit both for us as individuals and also for our community. The largest continual group experiment is currently taking place in Fairfield, Iowa There were over 2,000 people meditating together for most of 2009. It was announced on the news stations that the crime rate in the U.S. for 2009 was the lowest it has been since the 1960's. Usually in a recession, crime goes up. They considered this an interesting anomaly, but we know that it is a reflection of the effect of the large meditation group. All of your spiritual endeavors will get a boost from this large meditating group. Take advantage of it.

We have talked about the effect of the large group meditating together in Fairfield, Iowa. In the news this week was a report that the number of police officers and firemen killed in 2009 was the lowest it has been since 1959. It is fun to hear the rationalizations of the police departments that crime is going down because of their gang program or some other project. It is good to remember the power of consciousness. Even if most people do not realize from where the benefit is coming, we can take note of the unexplained changes and give a “Thank you!” to those who are contributing their time and finances to this on-going effort.

Spiritual wisdom and useful ideas do not just come from worship services, holy teachers and holy books. The Divine can speak through every aspect of our life including TV shows, the checkout person at the store, and even our spouse. Each day upon rising offer this prayer adapted from a hymn, 'Creator of All That Is, all today, open my eyes that I may see, glimpses of truth Thou hast for me. Open my ears that I may hear, voices of truth Thou sendest clear. Open my heart so your love shines through, blessing others in all I do. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is done, it is done, it is done.'

A dear friend told us about something that she does at the end of her morning spiritual practices. She connects to the Creator of All That Is and then asks, “What do I need to know for today?” Then she pauses and waits for the thought or voice that comes to her. Having tried this technique for the past few days, I can say that it is delightful. The messages vary dramatically in what they are about, ranging from reassuring to humorous to goal oriented. They provide that little nudge about what to notice or do during the day. You might want to keep a dairy by where you usually are when you ask this question so you can keep track of the responses. Leave space to note how your life manifests around them.

In these times of transition for Mother Earth, it is going to be harder and harder to make time for our spiritual practices. Everything will seem to speed up and require your time and attention. Do not be tricked. This is the time when it is crucial to never miss your spiritual practices. When you see events trying to make you skip, this is the time to chuckle and say, 'You can not trick me, I know what is really important and I'm going to do it.'

If you have the desire for knowledge about some subject, then pay attention to all ways that information comes to you. It can be such things as a TV program, a magazine article, a book, or a conversation. The universe will provide you with the knowledge you need to continue your growth and expansion in that area. The Bible says, “Ask and you shall receive.” If you do not ask or have the desire, then you will not receive. Fred Payne says, “You can not do something about something that you do not even know exists.” It is important not to discard new ideas outright just because they do not fit your current belief structure. With the phase transition of Mother Earth, many widely held beliefs will start to yield to expanded understanding. Be flexible and open to new beliefs.

“When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” This is a statement from many traditions. But the student must then act and grab onto the opportunity. There are forces that do not want you to evolve that will throw apparent stumbling blocks to your studies. Everything from I do not have the time or money to offering an alternative event that is very attractive at the same time (For me it was the Super Bowl – two different years and two different teachers!). Fred Payne says that if you have an event you want to attend, the best way to stop the conflicts is to make your intention to attend non-negotiable. If your commitment is firm, the conflicts will not only melt away, but events will start to support your intention.

A prayer before falling asleep can set up conditions to maximize the benefit of your nights sleep. Something like this works well: “Dear soul, mind, body, genes, history and epigenome, of _____________________ (name yourself and any friends or family you would like to include) I love you. Dear Creator of All That Is, I thank Thee for all that I have accomplished today. Multiply the effect of my (our) nights sleep so that my (each of our) energy, strength, vitality, immunity and longevity are restored to optimum levels. Renew and refresh my (each of our) soul, mind, body, genes and epigenome on all levels, where ever and when ever they may be, so that I (we) may better serve Thee and accomplish my (our) tasks with ease and joy. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is done. It is done. It is done.”

Chanting some Soul Songs or Master Sha's chants can transform mundane tasks like driving, exercising or doing the dishes into a blessing for yourself and those you invite in to receive benefits. (See www.drsha.com for CDs, books or mp3s to download.) The Cosmic Commute is also fun and rejuvenating. If you chant while doing the task, then instead of being more tired when the task is completed, you will be refreshed and rejuvenated.

“It is good in these times of rapid changes in Mother Earth that you draw on the strength of the healing/spiritual groups that you have formed over the last few years. You may not be doing work directly for Mother Earth and the areas in upheaval, but you can invite Mother Earth and the appropriate souls to receive anything in your group work which is in their highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator. Then proceed with what is scheduled for your group, always leaving yourselves open to the guidance of spirit.

The earth is moving these days through earthquakes and volcanoes. But what can we as individuals do to lessen the effects on those near the movements? Or even better, is there a way to lessen or avert the earth movements? There was a chance to avert the most violent changes in the last few decades, and many have assisted with their spiritual practices. Now the changes are upon us and averting the danger in one place can cause consequences in other places. Only with the greatest of care and wisdom should any attempt be made to change the transitions. Now is the time to be able to alert people in advance of the violent changes. Also, after the event, shock, panic & trauma clearings can be of assistance.

Wisdom can come to us through both traditional and non-traditional sources. Teachers can now use media that was unheard of a century ago to reach their students all over the world. Because soul is not limited in time or space, you can receive great blessings from a teaching via live web cast or even on a DVD. Before we had to travel to be with the teacher. Now the teacher can appear in our own living home at the push of a button. But so can other influences. Take care as to what you allow into your home and business, for it can cause problems as well as having the possibility of bringing in blessings. Ask for discernment to make wise choices as to what to watch.

“It is fun to see how spiritual tools develop over time as they are used. Be open to applying techniques you know in slightly different and expanded ways. For example, first I learned how to dowse for whether something was good or bad for me or someone else. Then I learned to ask for the percentage that it is was good and the percentage of detriment.

Today I learned that some jewelry can be a very powerful support for a person – even over 5,000%. Then came the thought that we could check a wide selection of jewelry in groups to see if there was something in that group that was over 5,000% for a particular person. Very quickly it was possible to identify certain pieces that were extremely beneficial for a person.

When you do your spiritual practices, the effect will be more powerful if you do the 'Hello' greetings before starting. There are five types of greetings that are helpful:
1) Yourself: Inviting in all aspects of yourself to receive blessings: 'Dear my soul, heart, mind, body, genes, epigenome, and history. I love you. You have the ability to receive a blessing for ______________________when ever and where ever on all levels from this practice. Do a good job. Thank you, thank you, thank you.'
2) Your Practice: Inviting in the soul of whatever practice you are doing. For example, 'Dear soul song, I love honor and appreciate you. I am very grateful the blessings you bring. Please bring a blessing to my soul, heart, mind, body, genes, epigenome and history for _____________________________ when ever and where ever. I am very grateful. Do a good job. Thank you, thank you, thank you.'
3) Other Recipients: Remember that you can also provide great service by inviting in friends and family, others you are concerned about, and Mother Earth and other aspects of creation expanding out to all universes. For these, use the wording similar to asking for the blessing for yourself, but add the words 'as appropriate as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is.'
4) Spiritual Helpers: You can invite other spiritual beings to assist you. This can include saints, ascended masters, angels and arch angels: 'Dear _____________________ that are appropriate to join me as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is, I love you, honor you and appreciate you. Please assist in these practices and provide a blessing to yourself and to all of those named. If you wish to invite in others to receive a blessing, do so at this time. (pause) We are most grateful. Thank you, thank you, thank you.'
5) Your Spiritual Gifts: If you have received downloads and treasures from the Divine or your teachers, then you need to turn them on: 'Dear all my Divine downloads and treasures. I love you, honor you and appreciate you. Please turn on to provide a healing blessing for all of those named. I am most grateful. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.'
When you are done with your practices, then say, 'Hao. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I bless you on your path. Gong song, gong song, gong song.' (Hao means “perfect health and gong song means 'respectfully return' in Chinese.)

Today it is good to be reminded of the prayer in Spiritual #28: There is a blessing that you can do each time you get in your car and before you start driving. 'Dear soul, mind, body of my car, of me (and ___________ [name anyone with you in the car]) as driver (and passengers), all the roads we will be driving on until we return (or get to ______________), all the signals we come to, all the other vehicles that are near us and their drivers and passengers, any creatures and pedestrians we will be near, I love you. You have the ability to get us all there and back easily, safely and on time. Do a good job. Thank you, thank you, thank you.' You will be pleasantly surprised at how you will “make” more signals than usual. It is also good to make sure you are grounded and in your body before driving. This is especially important if you have been doing spiritual practices or seminars prior to driving.

Each day upon finishing your spiritual practices, ask if there is a message for you today. If you do not receive messages that way, you can open a book and pick a passage or even use a print out of these soul song messages. At the end of the day, if you had some “aha” about how the message was appropriate or helpful, then record it briefly in a daily journal. As you do this and implement the messages you receive, then you will find that the guidance will come also at other times of the day. As always, give thanks for the blessings you receive.

Sometimes the universe unfolds in totally unexpected ways. In these days of transitions, it is best to not hang onto your plans for what is going to happen in your life. Now is the time to be open to pushes from the universe. It is also the time to support your friends and family as they respond to pushes from the universe in their lives. Together one can face what would be overwhelming if attempted alone

When you totally commit to take a spiritual course or attend a spiritual event, then you will be totally supported in attending it. When you waiver about whether or not you should go, then obstacles will keep popping up. Once you have decided to go, then take some action that proves it, such as paying for the course or making airline reservations. When you are dowsing as to whether to attend, be sure to check the beneficial percentage and the detrimental percentage. A yes just means over 50% good.

The expansion of knowledge in spiritual areas is growing very quickly at this time. Mother Earth is approaching her transition and the Creator is downloading knowledge to receptive individuals at an ever faster pace. It is important to test the validity of teachings that you receive, as false or incomplete teachings are coming in as well. Dowse for the percentage of truth: '____________ reflects what percentage of truth as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is.' Be sure and include "as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is" or the answer can be influenced by someone else's belief.

One of the ways that you can confirm your progress on your spiritual path is to note if things in your life seem to be serendipitous. There will seem to be fortuitous coincidences. It can be as mundane as heading for a particular place, finding road construction requires a detour and then noticing another place that provides a little blessing when you stop there. A smile of acknowledgment and a little 'Thank You!' to the Creator are appropriate. Things that are appreciated then continue coming your way. If, on the other hand, there seem to be continuous roadblocks and mishaps, then it would be good to have someone with spiritual insight help you figure out what is contributing to this situation. Possibilities can range from bad feng shui in your home or business to curses from others or self-sabotage.

Our environment supports our spiritual growth. Thus what happens to Mother Earth affects our spiritual growth. When you hear of environmental disasters far away, know that everything is interconnected and that problems elsewhere will also impact you. Here are several things you can do to assist: Before listening to the soul song each day, specifically invite in the soul, mind and body of the animate and inanimate beings in that area. For example, for the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico you could say, “Dear soul, mind, body, genes, epigenome and history of every living thing directly affected by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, of the water in the Gulf and connected to it, of the earth in the Gulf and adjacent to it, of all of those working to solve the problem and in the cleanup, I love you. You have the ability to receive a blessing from this soul song as appropriate for you as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is. Do a good job. Thank you, thank you, thank you.” Anytime you do prayer. meditation or healing work, include them to receive the blessings as appropriate as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is. Remember to sever your connections to them when done. “Thank you for coming. I bless you con your path. Gong song, gong song, gong song.” (“Gong song” means “respectfully return” in Chinese.)

Soul song carries the frequencies and vibrations that start transformation. All of our body is vibrating. By changing the vibrations at the cell and DNA & RNA levels, we then can start to influence the organs and systems that they build. But our cells are vibrating all day long. They need to have the influence of “good vibrations” more than just for a minute. Luckily you don’t have to actually hear the soul songs for them to affect your home and business. Leave them playing on repeat on your computer when you are not there.

It is good to plan regular times to be together with friends where you do something together that nourishes your spiritual growth. It can include meditating together, teaching each other techniques you have learned or sharing of insights on how to solve various problems. You can share areas where you need help and areas where you are progressing. When even two or three are gathered, then it opens the connection to the absolute that allows wisdom to flow your way. Your progress together will be much faster than your progress alone.

Dreams can be a source of messages from the Creator of All That Is. They also can be just part of an unwinding of the stresses of daily activity. One way to make dreams more useful is to ask the Creator before falling asleep for insight into a problem or issue you would like help in understanding. The answer may come in a dream or in that gap between waking and sleeping or just as an intuition during the day. Before acting on any of these insights, it is good to dowse as to their accuracy and, if they involve doing something, dowse whether it is in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is.

Sometimes it is necessary to evaluate what you are working towards, whether a spiritual goal or some other goal. Condoleezza Rice spoke at a commencement ceremony about starting to study the piano at three and continuing on through two years in college to be a concert pianist. She then heard a 13 year old play at first sight a piece she had worked a year to learn. So though she loved the piano, she realized she would never reach the level needed to be a successful concert pianist.

Thus she started to look for something else that she could get excited about. Eventually it led her to international studies and that led to becoming Secretary of State. So be ready to evaluate what you are striving for. Just because you have invested time in it does not mean that you have to continue with it. Was that time wasted? No. At that time, it was what you had decided and it allowed you to learn certain lessons and skills. Once they were learned, you can then move on. Condoleezza’s advice was to pick something you are passionate about.

We are so blessed at this time that so many souls are searching for spiritual nourishment. We are equally blessed that there are so many who are offering teachings. It is necessary though to check about the validity of a person’s teachings. There may be 80% that is accurate, another 5% that is partially true, and 15% that is mistaken as for what is in your highest and bet interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is. That is why it is important when you read or hear something to pay attention your inner voice. Some things will resonate instantly. Others bring a question in your mind. Dowse those. Do not abandon all of a teaching, only those parts that are not in your highest and best interest.

Most of us have a spiritual and healing book collection. When looking for something to read, dowse through that collection to find a book that has a message for you at this time. Then either open it randomly or dowse down the table of contents to find what information will be helpful to you at this time. As we evolve spiritually, we will pick-up on something in a book at a whole different level than when we read it before. We may even have purchased it and never read all of it, but now it has knowledge that will be useful to you. Take advantage of this treasure trove of knowledge that is already in your home.

We need our daily personal spiritual time, but we also need a time together with others to do a spiritual practice together. Studies of Transcendental Meditation show that the effects of group practice can spread out to whole cites, countries, and, with a large enough group, even the world. There is now a large group in Fairfield, Iowa that has been practicing together for several years. The crime rate in the US is now the lowest it has been since 1960. So if you want to help your neighborhood, invite over your friends to meditate with you.

It is good to make a regular commitment to be together with friends to work on some aspect of your spiritual development or for healing work. Remember to invite in your appropriate spiritual guides and teachers at the beginning of your time together. It is when you are with your friends that you can take the time to work on yourselves. So often we give to others but ignore our personal needs. In working on your own needs, you will find that not only are you more effective when working with others, but you will gain skill in working with those issues. Those issues will not be just yours or your friends, but will be the same issues that others will need help with.

A couple of minutes of “set-up” before any mental or physical self-development and before a spiritual practice can multiply the effects. It does not take long and will make whatever you do much more effective. 1) Activate soul power: “Dear my soul, core, mind, body, genes, epigenome and history. I love you. You have the ability to benefit greatly from this practice. Do a good job. Thank you!” 2) Clear and ground yourself. “I am asking that I be cleared and grounded at a level the Christ Council considers cleared and grounded.” 3) Invite in your appropriate support team. “I invite in my appropriate guides, guardians and teachers.” 4) Connect in to your High Self or Creator of all That Is. Start at heart, down spine and out both feet into the earth, all the way to the center of the earth, back up through both feet to base of spine, two flows of energy cross back and forth up the chakras, out top of head to couple feet above (High Self). To continue on to Creator of all That Is – ball of light from High Self above earth, moon, solar system, galaxy, galactic cluster, universe, universes, past bright lights, dark light, one bright light, through jelly like substance that is the law, through pearlescent light to seventh level. Allow the golden light to flow along this channel back and forth from the earth to the Creator or High Self. 5) If appropriate, listen to a soul song. 6) Invite in the soul of whatever practice you are going to do. “Dear soul, mind and body of this _________________ practice. I love you. You have the ability to multiply the effects of this practice as appropriate. Do a good job. Thank you.” Do your practice. When you are done, thank all that have assisted you: “Thank you thank you, thank you. Gong song, gong song, gong song.” (gong song is “respectfully return” in Chinese)

We all have beliefs developed over the years. As our consciousness develops, we sometimes come across other information or theories that can either support, shed a different light on or totally contradict what we believe. What do you do when there is a disconnect between your beliefs and the new input? First, you have to ascertain if the new information is correct. See Things You Can Do Spiritual Practices % Truth of a Teaching for some pointers. Then if you decide that your old belief is no longer useful, you need to pull it and install a more accurate and/or beneficial belief. See Things You Can Do Increasing Money & Supply for belief changing techniques.

Everything has an energy vibration that can respond to things happening to them. This includes each organ or your body, you home and your business. This means that many healing techniques that you use on people can also be applied to homes and businesses. Recently I found that you could do a Personal Life Force Retrieval for a home and for a business. It can even be done for a city or state. Personal life force gets removed whenever there is a trauma. For the state of Nevada there was the trauma of mining and nuclear testing. Life Force can also be removed by someone taking some of it with them when they leave, when violence or arguments occur there, when there is cheating or trickery, and when changes are made without the proper preparation. You will feel their gratitude and also benefit from it yourself if this retrieval is done. Contact a Phoenix Vibrational Practitioner to have this done.

With all tasks, but especially with spiritual tasks, simply starting them starts the flow of knowledge about what to do next. You do not have to know the complete project when you start. When the Creator of All That Is sees that you are taking steps in a particular direction, then the flow of knowledge will open up for you. When friends try your new idea or when you describe it to them, listen to their input but always confirm any suggestions with the Creator. As you have your attention on it, the ideas will come at times that you are not even working on the project: in meditation, while drifting off to sleep, or at anytime during activity. As soon as possible, make a note of the thought so that you can decide later whether to implement it and how to incorporate it in your task.

Take the time to support the endeavors of your spiritual friends. In turn, their insight can help your endeavors. Together you will achieve more than you would have done apart. Because of the great need of Mother Earth at this time of transition, those who take action in their spiritual growth and have the desire to help Mother Earth will receive insight, support, protection and guidance from all levels. We have the chance to take giant steps quickly in our development that would normally take much longer. Take advantage of this time when the support of Heaven is most available and most potent.

I am so grateful to all of you who are using the Ask an Angel message generator. It is allowing blessings and messages from the Creator of All That Is to flow through me. It is providing the Creator with a way to send assistance to us, to those we invite in to receive blessings, and to Mother Earth. Each of us becomes a circle of blessing which expands with our intention. The wording of the request before you listen can be expanded as you see a need.

Are you actually moving spiritually? It is so easy to get into a routine and not notice if we are making progress in areas we would like. The advantage of “New Year’s Resolutions” is they involve looking at your life and thinking about where you would like to be in another year. However, you do not have to wait for the New Year. Set aside several times throughout the year to access your progress. If you have a spouse or significant other, do it with them. Make it a fun occasion – even go somewhere special. The CHERUB Activation Method is a technique that has come to me to help speed us on our path.

We are on a journey together. We will all arrive sooner if we work together. Jesus said, “Where two or three are gathered in my name, lo I am there in the midst.” Even more he said, “If two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father.” Thus we are encouraged to do our spiritual work together. Make that commitment and watch the blessings flow from your time together.

It is not necessary to accomplish a task or spiritual endeavor all at once. In fact we will sometimes not even start something because the entirety of it seems overwhelming. But many large tasks can be accomplished by working on them a little bit on most days. My sage brush labyrinth was built that way. I would work on it an hour a day – for six months! If you want something done, then do a little on it regularly. You will be pleasantly surprised at what you can manifest in your life this way.

Spiritual growth does not require us to give up our regular activity. Jesus was a carpenter before beginning his ministry. In fact there is a benefit to taking some time each day for spiritual activity and then doing other things. This allows you to integrate your spiritual growth while maintaining your ability to perform action. Rapid growth without integration can leave one unable to function or result in your expanded awareness being completely overshadowed by simple events of your daily chores. It is important to make sure you are “back in your body” and grounded before you engage in activity after spiritual and healing practices. (See Techniques. At the end of this section are “Techniques for Grounding and Keeping Yourself in Your Physical Body.”)

One of the quirks of an effective spiritual practice is that it gives you more energy. Then you have the desire to start some new project or projects. Soon, there is not enough time for the spiritual practice. Do not be tricked into missing a few of your practices. It is a false savings of time. It is like not putting gas in your car because you don’t have time in your busy schedule. But if you run out of gas, it puts an even bigger dent in your schedule. Your spiritual practice is like “gassing up.” It recharges your body’s immune system and brain functioning.

You will be presented with many opportunities to do various spiritual practices. We only have so much time, so it is important to choose our practices wisely. If you can dowse, here are some things you might ask about before investing your time and money: As deemed only by the Creator of All That Is
1) What is the percent benefit?
2) What is the percent detriment?
3) For the part that is beneficial, on a scale of 1-10, how effective is it?
4) Is it in your highest and best interest to start this practice or study with this teacher or read this book?
5) Is this the appropriate time to do this?
6) What percentage does the teacher reflect the Glory of The Creator of All That Is while they are teaching? (This can approach 100%) What percentage do they reflect in their normal life? (This percentage will be fairly low – most recent famous spiritual teachers fall in the range of 10-16%. The highest I have found currently living is 34%.)
7) What percentage of their teaching is accurate? (Just because a teacher is not 100% accurate does not mean that you cannot learn from them. They can have useful things you can learn from them. You just must check the accuracy of what they teach before you apply it.)

A teaching can only benefit you if you actually apply it. That is why having a study group with fellow students is a powerful way to increase your understanding and give you practice in applying the techniques. You can even make improvements to the ease of applying the techniques and perhaps even increase the benefits. However, there can be a danger as well from studying together. You can then jointly make some change that detracts from the effectiveness of that teaching. Thus is it always important when making a change to confirm that it is in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All that Is.

Offering oneself to the Creator to provide service where needed can lead to odd tasks. Once I had to start a political party and run for office. Not what I had envisioned as offering “service.”

It is easy to think that if you are not doing something “major” that it is not important. When talking about world peace, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi said that for the forest to be green, each tree needs to be green. For there to be world peace, each individual must experience peace in their daily life. If you are constantly bickering a little with friends or family, then there is no peace in your area of the world. On the other hand, if you are making your area of the world more comfortable and settled, then you are contributing to world peace.

One of the amazing blessings of this age is how much is available via the internet. All sorts of spiritual groups have web sites. CDbaby.com has a “New Age” section that then has sub-categories like Meditation and Healing. You can dowse a CD and see what percent benefit it is to you and what percent detriment. Also check for percent of enjoyment you will get from it. Just because it is beneficial does not mean that you will enjoy it.

When you take the time to nourish the spiritual side of your life, you will find that the other aspects of your life spontaneously will also be nourished. This is not a new concept. Matthew 6:33 states, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Sometimes it is not just doing a spiritual practice, but performing a service for someone else that brings the blessing. We have a very spiritual friend that we assist with his music from time to time. Inevitably, shortly after doing something for him, a blessing comes our way.

Sometimes it is easier to make a spiritual commitment to do something if you start with a limited time commitment. Recently some people committed to doing a peace meditation for eleven days. Sometimes you give up something for a short period of time, such as two weeks. The definite time commitment seems doable, so we start with program. If you don’t find the results to be worth continuing with the practice, you can stop it. However, if the program brings you noticeable benefits, you may find that at the end of the time frame you have built up the habit, like the results, and then continue.

A blessing may not always seem like a blessing when it first comes your way. Later it may prove to be a stepping stone towards something that you treasure in your life or that blesses others. However, it was not Jesus or even one of his disciples who said, “In all things give thanks.” Action to correct wrongs would never take place if one just said, “I give thanks for this event.” However, we can give thanks for the opportunity to do something about it and for our understanding to grow. When something in your life or in the world seems painful, then ask the Creator of All That Is to reveal the correct understanding of it and what, if anything, you should do about it.

“Ask and you shall receive.” This statement holds an important spiritual truth. Many blessings from the Creator come only when they are asked for. The advantage of studying and expanding our knowledge is that then our vision of what to ask for gets expanded.

In Phoenix Vibrational Healing™, there is always a list of the things that will be taught at each level. However, a new student reading the list will often not even know what over half the topics refer to.

Once you know a problem exists, then you have a chance to ask the Creator to do something about it.

It is such a blessings that you have the intention to use the Ask an Angel messages. It was a blessing to me when I set up the framework requiring me to do them regularly for two years. It is a blessing to you as you receive the benefit of the songs and messages. When you invite in others to receive a benefit, then the effect is even greater. Playing the soul songs provides a benefit to the area where they are played, to the homes and businesses that are invited in, and to wherever and whom ever else you invite in before playing it. There is also a benefit to those who assisted with the soul song at a subtle level and to those that they invited in to receive benefits. I am most grateful for the opportunity to be the pebble that started all of these ripples of blessings.

There was a picture in the newspaper of a large Christmas tree covered with gold and diamond encrusted ornaments valued at over $11,000,000. Where was it? In a hotel in Abu Dhabi. It is an extreme example of jumping on the Christmas bandwagon to make more money with no intention to celebrate the birth that Christmas commemorates.

They will certainly treasure those ornaments, which will probably increase in value every year. It could be viewed as a savings account of sorts and also as a parable.

The wealthy man had the most lavish of Christmas decorations, but never experienced the Christ child coming into his heart. He looked forward to transforming his environment each Christmas, but never was transformed in his dealings with others. Whereas there is the couple that decorates their home every year, but with each ornament recalls some family member or friend. These decorations are treasured not for their dollar value, but for the memories they stir in their hearts. And always, a central part of the decorations is the nativity scene and retelling of the story of the Creator sending us the child whose teachings would be treasured for centuries.

If the spirit of Christ was to visit, would the $11,000,000 tree be turned over like the money changers’ tables in the temple? In the hustle and bustle of the next Christmas season, take time for those things and events that touch your soul and which rekindle the wonder of the gift from the Creator.

The Disneyland and Disney World Christmas Day parades were on TV on Christmas Day. In looking back on the program, only the song about the drummer boy even touched on the birth of Christ. The rest was pretty much an ad for the Disney movies, theme parks and cruise ships.

The Christmas gift giving is a great stimulus for the economy. After all, Black Friday, the day of pre-Christmas sales the day after Thanksgiving is so called because that is when many stores finally go from being in the red, to making a profit and being “in the black.”

We need to make sure that we stay “in the black” with our Christmas shopping. Now is the time to think about how you want to celebrate the birth of Christ next year. You can let friends and family know now that they should not buy you gifts next year. You may find that, if you change the emphasis from buying to remembering why we celebrate, then you will be less exhausted and less broke.

The coming of a New Year can be used as a time to consider what changes we would like to see. Magical thinking is continuing to do the same thing but expecting different results. This is as true with our spiritual growth as with relationships and financial endeavors. Are you satisfied with your spiritual growth last year? If so, then keep doing the same things and maybe add things that augment them. If not, then look into other possibilities.

When a child dies, there is usually the feeling that they were cut short and that their potential was not allowed to be fulfilled. Then in middle age, there is still the feeling of a life being cut short. Even in old age, we still feel the empty spot left by their passing. The only time that there is even a trace of the feeling that it is good that a person passed is when they are in a lot of pain or very disabled. It is as if we are fighting the fact that everyone drops their physical body at some time.

A friend and her pre-school daughter were leaving the home where their dear friend Mary had just passed away. The mother was crying and the little girl says, “Mama, why are you crying? Mary is right here above us.”

Instead of fighting or resisting our mortality, it helps us to make better decisions about our life when we remember that our time here is limited and may end at any time. You can start each day by thanking the Creator for another day here and opening yourself for guidance as to what is the highest priority to be done today.

When we skip our spiritual practices for whatever reason, the “dark side” rejoices a little and we feel a little diminished. Those who have the CHERUB Activation method can use it to sneak in a “quick” practice when there is not time for your full program. Say, “Download CHERUB Activation now! Download CHERUB Soul song now!” Place your right hand into the present with a karate shop in front of you. Then ask the Creator to take your last spiritual practice (place your left hand there with a karate chop to your left side), duplicate its effects, and move it in time to the present (slide left hand toward the right until the palms touch). Then do the final CHERUB integration and grounding techniques.

If we do not make our spiritual endeavors “mission critical” in terms of how we prioritize things to do, then somehow they will get pushed aside for “just this time.” The time we dedicate to effective spiritual or meditative practices is not “lost” time. In fact, by taking that time, your body and brain are refreshed and able to accomplish the rest of the day’s tasks with joy and efficiency.

Some techniques, like the Cosmic Commute, can be done while doing other things. However, the deep rest and brain coherence from an effective meditation technique provide benefits that cannot be gotten by any technique that involves activity. The CHERUB Activation Method will multiply the benefits of any technique that you do.

It is true that “all things work together for good for those that love God, who are called according to His purpose.” It is sometimes difficult to see how things can be working for good when problems arise in our lives. Fire sometimes burns things up and sometimes it can be used to mold precious metals into beautiful objects or make other metals into useful objects. Whether you get incinerated or transformed can depend on your spiritual practices and on those you have to help you.

It is ok to admit that you do not understand why something is happening. But you must pray for and search for the understanding, as then it is possible to do something about it. Fred Payne says that “You can’t do something about something if you do not even know it exists.” Always be open to the kernels of wisdom that the Creator sends your way.

As we progress further on our spiritual path, it can seem that more difficulties are thrown in our path. The most recent translations of the Lord’s Prayer all say …”deliver us from the evil one” instead of “deliver us from evil.” The “evil one” does have minions and in these times we need to have a strong spiritual shield to protect us. However, sometimes our “testing” can be the result of not taking time to ground and integrate after doing spiritual and healing practices.

If you find yourself unable to focus on your tasks or feeling irritable after your practices, then that is a sure sign you have not taken enough time and steps to ground yourself and integrate the changes.

The "Come Out Slowly" Step 5 of the Soul Song Relaxation Technique includes several grounding techniques. It is lower down on this page. The first three minutes are coming out slowly and the rest are grounding and reintegration techniques.

Analysis of the Hubble deep field pictures taken of “dark” areas in the sky have shown thousands of galaxies that were unseen before. It now appears that there are over 100 billion galaxies in our universe. That we have consciousness that can become aware of this vastness is an incredible gift.

One of the joys of being where you can see the stars at night is that every sight of the heavens reminds one of the vastness of the creation. It is good to make sure that there are regular times where you can be under the canopy of stars without the lights of civilization or the moon blocking the vision of the vastness of our cosmos. The heavens do declare the glory of the Creator.

There is a verse of a song about the sun that speaks to this:
Then the earth turns round

 Of gold and rose.
Then the stars return

That our wondrous sun

Sometimes our spiritual life can become stagnant. One of the advantages of meeting with friends who have similar spiritual goals is that you can support each other. It is good to take stock every year and see what progress you have made. You can do it as a group.

Write down the things you have accomplished; any person, course or book that has impacted your studies; how much progress you have made on your over all goals; also include any areas where you feel things have deteriorated over the year. Documenting where you have been and currently are can help you clarify where you want to go this year.

If you are not getting the results you want, then ask for guidance on what you can change. If you keep doing the same things, you’ll keep getting the same results.

Some of the greatest atrocities have been done on earth because of a strong belief of self-righteousness. It can be a religious belief or political belief. It seems that almost every religion and political system has been used to justify dastardly actions. These acts have not just occurred in the past, but are being perpetrated today. Once they happen at a particular place, then that energy permeates that area and it is easier for similar acts to occur there.

When you hear of an injustice occurring in a particular place, then you can direct spiritual healing to that place. There are spiritual beings who desire to assist Mother Earth and earth spirits who will help. You can invite them in to assist you. If you do not already have techniques to help Mother Earth, the book The Awakened Earth provides techniques you can use.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi said that war is the result of accumulated stress in consciousness that needed to be released. We know that earthquakes are a release of accumulated stresses in the earth. What is amazing is how people and an area can recover from devastation. What would be even better is if it was possible to dissolve the stresses as they accumulate rather then let them pile up to cause a massive shift.

With people, meditation can dissolve the individual stresses and lead to more peaceful interactions. Can we do something to mitigate the stresses building up in the earth? Certainly we can do things to mitigate our environmental impacts. We can also plan our communities and structures taking into consideration how the earth may behave. The stresses from our civil strife do accumulate in the earth.

We can also do things that bring joy and harmony that can nourish the earth. We can invite in Mother Earth in general and specific areas of Mother Earth to receive blessings whenever we do a spiritual practice. The book The Awakened Earth also provides techniques that can be used specifically to assist particular areas of Mother Earth. Take the time to contribute your consciousness endeavors in this time of need.

In Things You Can Do Protection there is a technique to implement a field of "Total Personal Responsibility" around ourselves. This provides protection from beings with malevolent intent who do not want to take responsibility for their action.

However there are beings and people that "pray for you." This can include family and church members. These people take responsibility for their action and are known as “do gooders.” In fact, they are usually proud of their intent.

You can ask the Creator of All That Is to clear any of the following that are opposed to your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is: prayers, thought forms, intentions, judgments, controls, desire to control, including those justified based on beliefs, those done for our own "good" or good of situations or the world as deemed from their viewpoint, or that are self-righteous. It can even be a thought that we directed toward our self.

A country, people or religion can also be affected by the thoughts directed to them. Some of the thoughts recently directed to Japan in their time of need were not beneficial. If you dowse that it is appropriate, you could also do this request to protect any group or area. Ask that a shield be put up that lets through that which is in their highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is and that anything that is detrimental as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is be neutralized, deflected and/or transmuted as appropriate.

The protection shield in Things You Can Do Protection the "Do-Gooder" technique was directed towards things coming in from the outside. However with a group or area, it could also be coming from within. Sometimes with an individual, it can also be coming from within. Thus the request should be expanded to “anything that is detrimental as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is whether coming from within or without be neutralized, deflected and/or transmuted as appropriate.

Timing is important in all activities, including your spiritual endeavors. There are certain things that you schedule every day, such as meditating before starting your day’s activity. Other things are flexible as to the day and the time.

In general, it is better not to do clearing work for the two hours after midnight. Most clearings of entities and malevolent influences are best done in the daylight.

I have found that some clearings are very time sensitive. Even though I have the intention to do them, they just are not done. Then suddenly, the impulse comes “Do it now!” It is good to dowse the best time and place for doing work on yourself or on someone else. Because we are multidimensional beings, you can have the intention to move your work in time if that makes it more effective.

If you have the intention to do something, but it somehow never seems to happen, then it is time to consider why it is not happening. Two of the possibilities involve outside influence: one is the universe protecting you in some way from your own intensions; the other is some influence that is working to your detriment.

If you can dowse, you can check for “Is some outside influence keeping ________ from happening?” If yes, then check for beneficial or detrimental influences and proceed accordingly. The other possibility involves something from within yourself. Using the pendulum procedure that follows, you can delve into what the issue is.

Consider things like karma, it is not the right time, fear to succeed, fear of failure, fear related to the endeavor, feeling that somehow the activity is wrong, and worrying that your effort will not be good enough. Remember that some of the underlying reasons can be based in events your soul experienced before you were born.

Set up a protocol with the pendulum where you can receive more than just a “yes” or “no” answer. Define the responses before you start. For example clockwise can be “yes” and counter clockwise “no”. You will want a response for “Ask more questions” (back & forth 12 to 6), “Not quite accurate” (back and forth 3 to 9), “We do not know.” (1:30 to 7:30), “Possibly” (10:30 to 4:30), “It does not matter.” (small counter clockwise circle), and “Good but could be better” (small motion 12 to 6).

For most of us, time is something we do not seem to have quite enough of. Then when we get short of time, our spiritual practice often gets short changed. Even if you make time for your spiritual practices, it is good to review how your time went at the end of each day. See where you put your time that you consider well spent and if there are other things you spent your time on that you would like to change in the future. Making note of something allows you to make a change in the future. You can also use this review time to give thanks for the blessings of the day.

“Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10 The key to manifesting the Creator’s power on earth is to “be still and know that I am God.” That is why, whatever spiritual practices you undertake, at least one of the practices needs to be a time of meditation that settles you physically and mentally and then allows time for silence. There is a time and place for other techniques, but this time of silence underpins all of them. The benefits from the time of silence will allow other practices to be more effective.

It is difficult to find spiritual teachings or healing techniques that are 100% accurate and effective as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is. Even teachings that were accurate when given can become diluted or distorted due to changes in language usage or translations or due to interpretations by less evolved people. That does not mean you cannot benefit from them. However, you do need to check for percentage accuracy, percentage benefit and percentage detriment. You can ask, when receiving or reading about something, that you only receive that which is in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is.

Quite often various healing modalities have both benefits and detriments. Anytime you are having someone work on you or attend a seminar, ask the Creator of All that Is to create a filter around you that only lets through that which is in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is. You can also ask the Creator to multiply the beneficial effects by the number of times as is in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator. You can also use these prayers for supplements and other health protocols you are using. See Things You Can Do Blessing Prayers

There are some traditions where it is seen that the path to spiritual growth requires the giving up of worldly things. Buddha was a prince that gave up his kingdom and wife. Jesus said that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Many traditions require a vow of poverty when you enter a religious order.

However, it is not money it self that is the problem. The issue is when we put the achieving and retaining of money ahead of our spiritual endeavors. It is also when we think that we are the source of our financial supply instead of the Creator of All That Is. See Things You Can Do Increasing Money & Supply Clearing Intention for a way to purify our intention regarding wealth and our ability to love wealth.

There is always a question of the accuracy of scriptures. Most scriptures originated before modern recording devices. We appear to have nothing that Jesus himself wrote, only what people remembered and that written many years after the events. Then there is the consideration of how language changes over time and of whether the scriptures were altered by others to emphasize or eliminate things as certain parties wanted them portrayed.

Even if you have the words accurately, there are often many ways it is possible to interpret them. Jesus would speak from his level of consciousness, but each person that heard it would filter it through his or her level of consciousness. The major religions of the world all have more than one sect. Each believes it has the proper interpretation. Often there is physical violence between sects who claim the same origins.

If you have questions about some interpretation of scripture and know how to dowse, you can dowse for the percent accuracy as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is. You can also put your question to the Creator and then be open to the information that comes your way. Ask and it shall be given to you. Remember to take the time to go to a private place to pray and meditate, not before men as that will be your reward.

When we do spiritual work or make spiritual requests, it is possible for other things to latch on to the vibrations before they reach their intended recipient. It is a good idea to make the following request before you begin your spiritual work:

Connect to the Creator. Start behind your heart, down to your tail bone, into the earth a few feet, all the way to the center of the earth, back up to where you started, up to the top of your head, a few feet above, then on to the Creator of All That Is, then back down to where you started. Then imagine a tube of golden or pearlescent light going up and down this connection.

“Creator of All That Is, thank you for this opportunity to do this Vibrational work. Take all of my spiritual work today and surround it with a field of protection so that it arrives pure and as sent. Surround me, all of the work, and all who receive it with a field of anonymity and invisibility. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It is done. It is done. It is done.”

Our bodies are a tool to help us in our evolution. Think of physical issues not as problems, but as a chance to grow in your understanding. Physical issues can open our inner eyes to how the universal laws work - either environmental, karmic, yin-yang interaction and balance, interaction between various consciousnesses and dimensions, or individual and galactic evolution. The fun is in discovering how they interact. There is usually not just one "magic bullet."

Our body needs food and the quality of the food we eat affects our well being. The Gabriel Method makes a good suggestion: eat often (4-6 times a day). Each time you eat make sure to include something with protein, something alive and something with omega 3 oils. Your body will thank you each time you include something alive!

            Press PLAY to hear the Soul Song.

Our bodies serve as our vehicle to accomplish our tasks. Without a healthy body, we cannot achieve all that is possible in this incarnation. Physical problems can serve as lessons, but the lessons can be learned and the physical problems no longer need to keep manifesting. We have emotional issues which come from thought forms which come from belief systems. When the belief system is changed, the thought forms and emotions that underlie physical problems then also change and dissolve. Ask the Creator of All That Is to show you the positive belief that will help you in a particular area. Then the negative-counter belief will become more obvious. Knowing what needs to be changed is the first step in making change.

Dear Ones, Master Sha says heal the soul first and everything else will follow. Though not likely to be in the new medical plan, this theory could help lower medical costs. Use regular medicine for immediate relief of symptoms, but always also work on the issue from the soul level. Sickness is usually associated with a dark area at the subtle level where the problem is. Soul Song helps bring light to these dark areas and start the true healing process.

All of life is vibration. Is it any wonder that soul Song affects the very basis of our physical well being - at the cellular, DNA and RNA levels, even in the spaces between the cells. That is why there is always some space in the soul song between sounds. The silences are just a healing as the sounds themselves. Some time of silence and stillness every day helps nourish our inner body. Thus always set aside some time daily for meditation. Be still and know.

We are always looking for the magic bullet that will solve our physical problems. But, as with most things in life, physical issues usually involve several areas. Be grateful for each aspect that improves and pay attention to the "angel thoughts" that give you an idea as to which direction to go. Master Sha says, "Heal the soul first and everything else will follow." That does not mean you can ignore issues like the foods you eat. Healing the soul first will make you more aware of how various foods contribute to your overall well being.

Recurring physical problems can sometimes make us discouraged and make us think that we are not progressing. See them instead as a prod to not be complacent about your growth, but to keep searching. There is something else that you need to know. Without the prod of your physical problem you would continue at your same level. Give a little chuckle and say - “You again! What else do I need to learn? Thank you for this opportunity.”

It is important to pay attention to little “angel thoughts” or intuitions that you have. They are often just a fleeting thought and you will find your rational mind figuring out why you should ignore it. When you do ignore them, often the consequences show the “angel thought” was right on. This will help you pay more attention to them in the future. This week pay especial attention to the “angel thoughts” about food – what you should eat and what you should skip.

Physical bodies allow us to experience this world. However this world has many pollutants in it that our bodies were not designed to deal with. That is why periodic physical cleanses to remove heavy metals are a good idea. MetalloClear and cilantro help. Chlorella helps move the toxins out of the body. Taking selenium during this time is important; also some charcoal. Charcoal should not be taken if you are currently on a medication as it can lessen the medication's effect. If on medication, take a liquid bentonite like Sonne's 7. Baths with Batherapy or other minerals help this process as well as the detox process that may happen during healings.

            Press PLAY to hear the Soul Song.

Sometimes healings do not happen because in some way the physical problem benefits us. There can be benefits from getting a disability check, from the attention we get from others, from feeling the need to challenge oneself or from providing an excuse for not attempting something. Finding the hidden benefit and then clearing the underlying issue, belief, or fear can facilitate the healing process. This is not the case in every problem, but it pays to ask, “Am I benefiting from this problem?” Find out what the benefit is. Then see if you truly want to keep that benefit.

Our environment is full of toxins that inevitably affect us. Avoiding the toxin is, of course, the best route. Foods do not have the same effect on every body. Eat Right for Your Type outlines the differences that are due to blood type. Blessing everything, including your supplements and water, before ingesting them can also counteract toxic effects on your body. A liver cleanse from time to time is beneficial – especially if you have taken any medication. Many medications are processed by the liver and it can get “full up” of toxins. Always take selenium and charcoal during a cleanse. Charcoal should not be taken if you are currently on a medication

Fred Payne likes to say, “You can not do anything about something that you do not know about.” That is why it is important to constantly be open to the knowledge that the universe sends your way. Put our your request to the universe and see what it sends your way. This is not just for information about physical issues, but for every aspect of your life. Jesus spoke of this in “Ask and you shall receive. Seek and you shall find. Knock and it shall be open unto you.” Do not limit where you think the information can manifest. It can be a passing comment from the checkout person at the grocery store or on the radio.

It probably seems obvious, but the fuel we feed our body affects our health and mental state. Sometimes realizing its priority can make us be more diligent in this area. Our bodies are a gift from the Creator and we honor that gift by taking care of it. One of the simplest things is to make sure you eat regularly. Eat a minimum of four times a day. It is easy to get so busy with what we have to do, that we do not take time to nourish our body, which makes all our activity possible. Those concerned about their weight often consider it “good” to skip a meal. This just makes you eat more later. If you eat 1000 calories in one meal, any extra calories above what you currently need gets stored as fat. 400 calories in two meals and a snack of 200 calories will get burned up as you need it. Plan ahead – take a protein snack with you when you head out on errands.

When looking for underlying beliefs or emotions that can be contributing to a physical problem, it is useful to try to remember when the problem first happened. Then look at what was going on in your life at that time. Or if it acts up from time to time, look at what is going on in your life when it acts up. This can give you clues. Ask a friend for what they think was or is going on in your life around those times. Then use Things You Can Do belief changing tools under Increasing Money Supply to transmute these beliefs and or emotions.

The spiritual healing of the physical body is just the first step. One must also deal with the underlying causes, or the problem will either return or manifest somewhere else. If the cause is environmental, then the irritant must be identified. Is it something you are eating or drinking? In general, tap water is chlorinated and not in your best interests to drink. do not forget to consider the ice in drinks when you eat out or at home. What you sit on, including your car seat, affects the alignment of your whole body. Aston Kinetics has pads that help align your body while sitting. The rule of thumb when sitting is that your hips should be slightly above your knees and your knees/thighs should be rolled slightly out. It may seem obvious, but your shoulders should not be rolled in. This compresses your lungs and internal organs. Backs of car seats and airplanes often roll the shoulders in. An Aston back pad can correct this.

It is even understood by western medicine that beliefs can affect the healing process. This is the underlying mechanism for the placebo effect. The placebo effect seems to becoming stronger, especially in mood altering drugs. It appears that the advertising by the drug companies is making people think new drugs work even better. When people participate in new drug trials, their increased expectations make the placebos work even better than twenty years ago. Thus the new drugs usually do not work better than the placebo. Beliefs about healing also have a profound effect on the effectiveness of even alternative methods. Beliefs such as “Healing is hard” or “healing takes a long time” need to be removed and replaced with “Healing is easy and quick.” Use Things You Can Do belief changing tools under Increasing Money Supply to transmute these beliefs.

It is important to remember that everything we experience, including our spiritual experiences, requires our body. It is easy to get so busy that we do not take time to exercise or feed our body properly. Our bodies are a gift from the Creator to allow us to grow toward enlightenment. It actually honors the Creator to take good care of your body. Dedicate your exercise with the prayer: “Dear soul, mind, body, genes and history of by muscles, bones, circulatory system and respiratory system. I love you. You have the ability to become stronger and healthier through this exercise time. Do a good job. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

The quality and quantity of the water we drink supports or hinders our health. Be sure and drink enough water every day, especially when going through healing processes. These processes, by their nature, are removing toxins from the body. If your stool is hard, then you need more water. The water carries the toxins away. If there is not enough new fluid, then the toxins just re-establish themselves. A tub with mineral salts like Batherapy also helps pull the toxins out. Selenium needs to be replenished, as it is used up in the detox process. Charcoal latches onto the toxins and also helps move them out. Charcoal should not be taken if you are currently on a medication as it can lessen the medication's effect. If on medication, take a liquid bentonite like Sonne's 7.

We would like to think that there is a magic bullet for healing. There are instantaneous healings. However, the underlying issues need to be dealt with or the problem will re-manifest or morph into another area. Master Sha says "Heal the soul first and the body will follow." That is the advantage of soul song - it starts the healing at the most fundamental level.

Diet is a huge factor in our physical health. Eat Right 4 Your Type gives guidelines for eating based on your blood type. The underlying concept is that the four blood types respond well to different foods and have an almost allergic reaction to other foods (the body makes lectins). As with everything, one size does not fit all. You may have some foods that are crucial to avoid and others that only bother you a little. Dowsing for the percentage of detriment or of benefit can give more information that just a simple "yes" or "no" dowse. And remember – always "9961" everything before you eat it.

There is an amazing amount of information on the internet about how various foods and herbs affect particular ailments. It is important to remember that "One size does not fit all." Your blood type (Eat Right 4 Your Type) and your ayurveda type (vata, pitta, kapha) are two factors that also influence how various foods affect you. There also seem to be racial/genetic influences. Do not take "rules" as absolute. Pay attention to how your body reacts after eating something. Dowsing is also useful. Remember that a "yes" or "good" dowse just means it is over 50%. You can dowse the good percentage. You can also dowse the percentage of detriment.

We all know that diet and exercise effect our health. It is also wise to find a good chiropractor and body work person. Aston Patterning practitioners are excellent not only for their work on the body, but also for helping you develop ways of sitting, standing and working that support your body instead of throwing it out of position. Aston Kinetics has pads that help align your body while sitting. I was surprised to find that diet could throw my neck out. My blood type is aggravated by beef.

As people age, the digestive enzymes made by the body are often not as effective as before. This means that the food you are eating and any supplements you are taking are not being absorbed properly.

With the blood type diet (Eat Right 4 Your Type), certain foods cause an almost allergic reaction depending on your blood type. Corn should be avoided by O, B and AB. Unfortunately, high fructose corn syrup is being put in most sodas and many other sweetened foods. This is a problem, because the corn is very concentrated when fructose is made. Thus in one soda you get much more than you would ever eat. Just being diligent about avoiding corn syrup can make a big difference in your health.

With clothing, the body only attunes itself to natural things like cotton, silk, wool & rayon. If you must wear synthetic fabrics, they need to be blessed every time after you wash them. A short version of the blessing prayer is “Lord (or Creator of All That Is) bless this ________________ (food or item) and let it resonate perfectly with my body. Do it now. Thank you.” Repeat it three times. This is especially important for bras. If at all possible, women should remove any under wire in their bra.

Our feet support our entire body. It is unfortunate that most women's shoes and now even men's shoes use a pattern that turns the toes in. You can check a shoe by holding the bottom of the shoe in front of you with the heel down. Then see if the toe is curved into the direction of the arch or relatively straight in relation to the heel. A shoe sales lady who had been trained as a podiatrist laughed when I told her what I was looking for. She said there is no evidence that having the toe turn in causes any problems with the feet. My Aston Patterning practitioner agreed – it does not hurt the feet. "However," he continued, "it throws the entire rest of the body out of alignment." When you walk, the hips and knees work best when the foot and knee of each side point slightly out as you step on that side. Have a friend observe you when you are walking to see which direction your toes point when you are walking. Shoes with the sunken heel can also cause problems. A slight heel is good, as that tips the body slightly forward. Having room for you toes to spread out allows you to spread out your toes when you are pushing off with them while walking.

In the winter, heating systems often reduce the humidity. Low humidity not only causes the skin to dry out, but also causes problems for our lungs. Coughs are aggravated by low humidity. You can keep coughs from getting worse by drinking water every time you cough. If there is a coughing fit, sitting in a room with the shower running will provide humidity to sooth the breathing passages. Make sure your home has enough humidity – especially your bedroom. Running the shower before bed and then letting the water sit in the tub is a simple way to humidify.

When dowsing if something is good or bad for you or someone else, remember that good means it is over 50%. Once something tests good, then you need to confirm the percentage good that it is. You can state: “This is at least 75% good for me.” If yes, then move to a higher number, such as, “This is at least 90% good for me.” Supplements that you take should be at least 90% or better.

With supplements, you need to test how they work together. Start with the statement: “This supplement is the highest priority for me to take.” You can then ask for a reverse indicator and run your hand over all of the supplements until you receive the “no” indication (reverse of “yes”). Then dowse for how many to take and how often and when each day. Start a separate location for this supplement. Now dowse for the next supplement by saying, “When taking the supplements here (indicate that separate location), this supplement is the next highest priority for me to take.” Then continue as you did for the first supplement, adding each supplement to your separate location.

There may thus be supplements that test good on their own, but are not needed when you are taking the other supplements in order of priority. You may also need something that is not in your collection. State: “There is something else that is in the highest and best interest of my body to take.” If “yes,” there are lists of minerals, vitamins and homeopathies, etc., that can be used to dowse.

Some times there are things that we intellectually know that we should be doing for the health of our body. However, there is some internal resistance to taking that action that we know will help us. First, look to see if there is some underlying belief that is holding you back. If it has to do with weight, these beliefs might be, “No matter what I do, I cannot lose weight.” “My family all tends to be overweight.” “Losing weight means giving up things that I like to eat.” Write down all the beliefs that you want to pull out of your consciousness. If you know the Theta Healing technique for pulling beliefs, you can use it. Otherwise, another method is to say the belief 3 times out loud while circling your heart counterclockwise with your right hand. (To begin, start above heart and move hand to the right and down.) Continue circling and say, “Cancel, cancel, cancel from my core, genetic, historic and soul levels. Thank you, thank you, thank you.” Starting with the word “core,” start moving your hand, still going counterclockwise, away from your body. At the word “levels” your arm should be straight, and you end with a flick of the wrist away from you. Repeat for each belief you want to pull. Second, write down positive statements you want to integrate into your consciousness. For ideal weight, they can be like these: “I spontaneously eat the right foods in the proper amount.” “I digest my foods perfectly.” If you know it, use the Theta Healing method of downloading the new beliefs. Otherwise, say the belief 3 times out loud while circling your heart clockwise with your right hand. (To begin, start above heart and move hand to left and down.) Continue circling and say, “Integrate, integrate, integrate into my core, genetic, historic and soul levels. Thank you, thank you , thank you.” Repeat for each belief you want to integrate. To lock in, at the end tap 8 times the spot that is 1 inch to the left and up 1 inch from your navel. (Count accurately!) If you know how to muscle test, test your self for the negative beliefs before (should be a “yes” if it needs to be pulled) and after (should be a “no”). Test for the positive statement before (will usually be a “no”) and after the integration (should be a “yes”).

One of the outside influences our bodies and consciousness experience is the movement of the heavenly bodies. Several times a year Mercury will be in retrograde. Taking account of this influence on communication can make life easier during this time. Since mis-communications increase, it is good to double check instructions and plans to make sure that all parties agree on what has been agreed upon. Be sure to back up your computer files more often, as odd things may happen to electronic communications. This is a time to focus on things that you have had a hard time completing. It is like the apparent movement of Mercury backward is giving you a chance to go back and complete things.

Snuggling time with people or pets has a beneficial effect on our bodies. They have even found that it makes endorphins and lowers blood pressure.

There are times when physical issues become so strong that they demand our full attention. This is usually because we ignored the subtle signs that our body was sending us all along. If the subtle signs are ignored, then we are sent a bigger sign. Either way, whether the sign is subtle or strong, it is indicating that there is an underlying area that needs to be taken care of. This is where it gets tricky – what area? At the end of your daily mediation time, you can ask, “What am I supposed to learn from this?” If the soul lesson is learned, sometimes the issue can start healing.

It is then good to check from the following list and see what percentage of the problem is due to any of these factors: environmental toxins; feng shui effects (environmental placement); food – either what is eaten or what is not eaten; drink – again, what is drunk and/or not drunk; medications and/or supplements; karmic effects; astrological influences; misfortunes sent your way by another being; implants such as dental, surgical or others; ancestral/racial effects; genetic effects; experiences causing shock, panic and trauma; loss of personal life force; separation from your high self and/or soul; influences from another consciousness latching onto you.

Quite often an issue can have several of these things that are contributing to the problem. Once the various aggravations are identified, then it is possible to develop a plan of action. The great thing is that there are techniques to deal with all of these aggravations.

They are finding out that genes are not your destiny. It turns out that stresses in our lives affect the epigenome which surrounds the DNA. The methyl markers in the epigenome determine if a particular gene is repressed or expressed. They are finding that stressors like famine or smoking during puberty in a man can affect how genes express in his children and grandchildren. Thus it appears that for lasting physical healing to take place, that the methyl markers in the epigenome must be changed. This information is coming out on NOVA on PBS and in Time Magazine. The universe is giving us this overview to expand our understanding of what needs to be healed.

Sometimes our physical problems can be greatly improved just by making a diet change. Two things that are crucial, but often get ignored are drinking enough water and eating enough fiber. Not having enough water and fiber leads to constipation and problems in the large intestine as well as other problems. With water, it actually needs to be water or herb tea. Drinks with caffeine, alcohol, high fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners do not hydrate you. In fact, they have the opposite effect. If you follow the guideline of eating something live with your protein, this helps provide fiber as well as other nutrients. The fiber listing on food labels can help. People with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) need to start each meal with soluble fiber. (Help for IBS.com

Artificial colors, especially red and yellow, and artificial flavors are disruptive to all human nervous systems. However, they are even more detrimental to children's developing systems. These artificial ingredients can contribute to ADD, hyperactivity, and weight issues. Refined sugar also aggravates these issues. (There is some evidence that it even feeds cancer cells.) Then the doctor recommends a prescription that was developed for adults and has not been tested on developing nervous systems. Children and adults can be educated to notice how these things affect them. (With my son it was “motor mouth.”) Once they understand how it affects their body, then they will be more motivated to avoid them.

It is good to have an accurate diagnosis for a problem. Medical tests can be helpful, but a person who is intuitive or uses muscle testing can also be amazingly accurate. After finding out what the effect is on your body, then the tricky part is correcting it. Relieving the symptom provides comfort, but does not address the underlying cause. See Things You Can Do Health What Contributes to Issue?

It now appears that you not only have to remove the underlying causes, but also correct the methyl markers on the epigenome that keep activating or deactivating a gene. Right now western medicine does not have a way to do that, so this will require someone who can ask the Creator of All That Is to restore the epigenome to optimum functioning.

Nothing in the “health care” proposals allows for “alternative” healing modalities. Luckily, most alternative methods do not cost as much one day in intensive care. The trick is knowing when to use conventional medicine and when to apply possible alternatives. Most people do not even consider alternatives until regular medicine has given them a “death sentence” of so many months or with very low survival statistics. As with everything, alternatives work much better if you start them before you are at death's door. You may find that with the changes in Mother Earth that friends and family are more open to alternatives that they would never have considered before.

If you are listening to or singing a soul song for personal healing, the “body power” is to touch the area of concern with one or both of your hands. This directs the body power to that area. Leave the hand there throughout the soul song. The “mind power” is to visualize a ball of light spinning in that area. The light can be golden, rainbow, purple or platinum/crystal. If you are directing this healing toward someone else, visualize the light surrounding their area of concern or bring them into a ball of light surrounding you. When done, be sure to thank them for coming, bless them on their path and send them away with “Gong song, gong song, gong song” which means “respectfully return.”

If you find yourself feeling rushed or under pressure to meet some time deadline, then look back at several days and see if this is a pattern. Feeling rushed or under a time pressure on a regular basis will cause problems in your physical body. It is good to figure out if there is something you can do to avoid the “rush.” Some possibilities: 1) If you have to have something done before you can leave, do that thing first. Put it by the door or even load it in the car. Then do other things until its time to go. 2) do not leave so late that you have to make every signal in order to arrive on time. Then you may have to start bringing something in with you to occupy your time if you arrive early. 3) See if you are scheduling more errands than is physically possible to accomplish easily. I found that I tended to plan for one more thing than was possible. To begin with, I made my list and then crossed off one item.

Physical problems are due to problems with flow into and out of various areas of our body. These can occur at the soul level, the mind level or the body level. Often physical problems have flow issues in all three areas. But no matter what you do on the mind and body level, if the soul level still has problems, then the problem will re-manifest or morph to a different area. Master Sha says, “Heal the soul first and healing of the body and mind will follow.” That is why soul song is such a fundamental and powerful tool for healing. “Soul song carries Divine frequency and vibration. This transforms the frequency and vibration of the soul, heart, mind and body and transforms relationships and finances and all aspects of life.” Having soul song playing on repeat even when you are out of the room sets up this transformation of frequency and vibration. Use this powerful tool from the Divine often!

Soul song is a gift from the Divine to bless humanity and Mother Earth at this time of transition. Master Sha says that divine soul song carries divine love, forgiveness, compassion and light. All of life is vibrating. Soul song vibrations and frequencies affect every aspect of our physical being from organs and systems to cells, DNA, RNA and even the spaces between organs and cells. Loud and soft, fast and slow, out loud and silently – all influence different aspects of your physiology. Sing along – play with it, let it flow. Remember that the Divine cannot move through you if you are trying to control the manifestation.

It is good to be vigilant about the foods we place in our bodies. Hydrogenated oils are processed at such high temperatures that a hydrogen atom is added. They form substances called “trans fats.” These are popular in baked goods and packaged foods as hydrogenated oils have a much longer shelf life. However, they have proven to be “stickier” in our blood vessels, causing the build up of plaque. This narrows the path for blood to flow so that a tiny clot that would not cause a problem if the artery was normal size can become stuck. Needless to say, this causes major problems. Even if a product says it has 0 grams of trans fats, this can be misleading. The serving size can be smaller than the amount you eat and something that was 0.45 grams in a small serving becomes 0.9 grams in a larger serving. Read the label. If it has hydrogenated oil as an ingredient, avoid it. Fats take weeks to process out of the body, so a little every day adds up.

It is hard sometimes to know whether or not to avoid a particular food that you like but which might not be good for you. If there is something that triggers a strong allergic response or causes something to recur (such as shell fish triggering chronic fatigue), then that should definitely be completely avoided. Foods to be avoided by your blood type, can vary. Some are more critical than others. None of the avoid foods should be had on a daily basis. Be alert to how your body responds. Water retention, farting, and a stiff neck are a few indicators that you have eaten something that is not in your best interest. You can sometimes use the blessing prayer (Harmonizing the environment #46) on food that you know is a problem. However, this should be used when something cannot be avoided or as a special treat. It should not be a technique to avoid paying attention to your body's messages to you. Some things like trans fats, MSG and artificial color are well worth avoiding when at all possible. Others, you can dowse the percentage beneficial and detrimental. Dowse foods in buffets lines and on menus. By trying to eat something live every time you eat or snack, your body will begin to favor those things which are better for you.

Staying hydrated and getting enough rest are the basis for good health. If you know you will not be able to get enough sleep, then request before falling asleep: “Creator of All That Is, multiply my (and add names of other family members) sleep by the number of times so that I (we) wake up refreshed, rejuvenated and able to accomplish my (our) tasks with ease and joy. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is done, Its is done, It is done.” This technique should not be used as an excuse to regularly cut down on your sleep time. However, it is useful for those times when you will not be able to get the sleep you need.

Physical problems are not always due to things that are under our control. There are beings and people who can be sending malevolent influences our way. This seems to be happening more and more often as the transition of Mother Earth approaches. Luckily, the Creator is also providing individuals with techniques to discover and remove these influences. If an issue does not respond to regular treatment, then one should consult a person trained in discovering and removing outside influences. Always check for the percentage of benefit and the percentage of detriment that you will receive from consulting with a particular person. If not done properly, the attempted removal can cause even greater problems.

A fellow apprentice in Phoenix Vibrational Healing™ taught me a technique to help the body stay hydrated. Step 1 reminds the body of what to do with the water your drink and takes less than a minute to do: Place your hands on both sides of your head. Palms should be resting near the tops of the ears and fingers almost meeting at the top of your head. Move the fingers so your scalp moves around for about 15 seconds. Then a) make a claw with your left hand and encircle your belly button, b) place your tongue against the roof of your mouth, and c) place your right hand on the top of head with the palm at the top of your forehead, the thumb resting a little in front of your right ear and the pinky resting a little in front of your left ear. Then tap the top of your head with the other three fingers about 10 times.

Step 2 should be done every time you drink water. It is called the SOS step. S – sip (do not gulp) O – Oscillate (swish the water around in your mouth) This mixes your saliva in with the water so your stomach will know that it needs to absorb it. S – Swallow. Do Step 1 two to three times a week and do SOS every time you drink water. Thank you Betty for your storehouse of knowledge!

Injuries that involve trauma to muscles and bruising can be helped with Traumeel. Taking the homeopathic arnica montana is also useful. If you know you are going in for surgery, start taking it three days in advance and continue throughout recovery. It is also good to get rid of the shock, panic and trauma as soon as possible. You can call a Phoenix Vibrational Practitioner or utilize the technique on the Phoenix Vibrational web site: Clearing Tools page. This requires reading the background information and then following the instructions for doing the technique. It is a good idea to familiarize yourself with this procedure now, before a traumatic event occurs, so that you can easily make use of it when you need it. This is a very powerful tool that you can recommend to anyone who needs help and is open to alternative healing. Some people have said that the shock, panic and trauma technique gets rid of about 90% of the pain from an injury.

We would like to think that there is just one thing that we need to do to help our physical problems. However, most issues have many layers and several types of required healing. Be open to ideas that are sent your way. Soul song will make whatever you do more effective. It also opens up the connections to the vibrations of the cosmos so that the necessary other modalities will come your way. When checking on the value of some technique or substance, remember to check the percentage of benefit and of detriment.

Heal the soul first, and healing of the body will follow. There is not only the soul of your entire body, but there is also a little soul for every organ and part of the body. This soul has a color. If it is gray or muddy or black this shows sickness even if the symptoms have not started to manifest yet. The start of healing is when its color is restored. Imagining a golden light ball, rainbow light ball, or platinum light ball spinning around the problem area can start the change from dark color to normal, healthy color. Listening to and/or singing soul song while imaging the light ball assists in this transformation.

Take time each day to let your body spontaneously move to music. It can be while listening to soul song or any other music that makes you feel good. You can even sing and move to your own singing. This movement allows parts of your body that have gone “out of frequency” with the rest of your body to become synchronized with the whole body's baseline vibratory frequency. You want to move every part of your torso as well as your arms and legs. Have fun, smile, and send happy thoughts to friends and family.

Digestive enzymes can help you not only obtain the nutrition from your food and supplements, but also make the digestive process more comfortable to you by eliminating gas and bloating. Since every body has different issues, it is important to choose the enzyme combination that is right for you. Go to a store that has quite a few types of digestive aids to choose from. Then muscle test – remembering to check for something that is at least 90% beneficial. Also check for percent of detriment. Then reconfirm every month or so, as your needs may change.

Our bodies are happiest when they get some exercise and movement. Unfortunately, most of today’s activities are done from a chair, whether work or play. In school we are taught “not to wiggle.” However, if you can start moving some while doing things from your chair, your body will be much happier. If you have a walk-around phone, then actually walk while you are talking on the phone. Look at moving the groceries from the cart to your car and from your car into your home as free weight lifting. As people get older, we tend to try to do more things for them. Actually, it is better to let them try to do it themselves. Their bones and muscles will get weaker if they never have to lift things.

We probably all have friends who regularly manage to not eat or not eat enough until late in the day. By that time, their body and emotions are in revolt. The reasons (or excuses) can vary from “I forgot,” to being so busy there was not time, to somehow thinking they are more virtuous the less they eat, or to doing things for someone else that precludes taking time to eat. As their friend, you can help them remember to eat or manifest some food for them. You can also reiterate things they probably already know but seem to forget: 1) The body loses weight best on 4-6 small meals a day. It is not the total calories per day that matters, but the total calories per meal. Anything over what you need at a given meal goes right to fat storage. Eat dessert several hours after your main meal, not with it. 2) You are the most help to others and yourself and the most fun to be around if your body does not run out of fuel. It is never convenient to stop and put gas in one’s auto, but running out of gas takes much more time and can be most inconvenient. We all could use more time, but do not rob from the time to fuel your body. It will cause you to be less efficient and to be less fun to be around (for both yourself and for others). 3) The Creator gave us bodies that need to be refueled. It is honoring the Creator to properly fuel the body we were given. It is disrespectful to the Creator to abuse our bodies unnecessarily. 4) When out and about, keep something in your bag or car that you can use to refuel or to offer to a friend who needs something. 5) If you or a friend have skipped eating, then look back on what caused it and see if something can be changed in the future to avoid this same occurrence.

All that we eat and the supplements and drugs that we take work together. This may seem to be an obvious statement, but very often we just muscle test things individually. Following the procedure in Eating - Smile on the Scale Supplements is a very powerful technique as it tests things as they are taken together. Most of the time we take our supplements with a meal. With those foods you plan to eat on your plate, then see if there is anything in your supplements that should be left out. You might even see if anything should be added. Besides seeing what supplements to take, also check the best time of day for taking them. Foods also can also be time of day sensitive, so check that out sometimes.

With summer there are insect bites. Benadryl cream put on as soon as possible can stop swelling and itching. A homeopathic remedy is cedron (30C). Keep some handy or ask the Creator to transmit it to you vibrationally as needed. That also is supposed to be good for any venomous bite from insects or snakes. Botanic Choice also has a golden seal ointment that is helpful with insect bites. Buzz Away is a natural insect repellent.

Sometimes we are sent a physical issue so that we will become skilled in correcting it. Then soon there will appear a person who wants your help that has the same thing that you had. So it is always good to ask, "What am I supposed to learn from this physical issue?"

This also applies to any recurring physical issue you have. Then it is good to check where you should be putting your efforts: Environmental issues? Nutritional considerations? Emotional? Attack? Karma - yours, ancestors, racial? Physical - exercise, massage, movement, some activity that is aggravating the condition? Reduction of stress? Relationships? Beliefs? Often it is not just one. You can check the percentage that each category contributes to the problem. Sometimes regular medicine will be of help. However, some are better addressed with alternative treatments. Many of them can be addressed by Phoenix Vibrational Healing™ Practitioners.

Vitamin D deficiency is quite common. This vitamin is vital for the absorption of minerals like calcium and the overall functioning of many processes in the body. Low levels have been linked to problems with muscles and bones, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, asthma in children and mental impairment in adults. To get as much vitamin D as you need from being in the sun, you would have to be out 20 minutes completely naked. The more skin that is covered or that has sun screen on it, the more time is required. Due to the thinning of the ozone layer, using sun screen is very important to help protect your skin from cancer causing rays. That means it is necessary for most people to take a supplement. D3 is the best form to take. If you are having a blood test done, make sure it includes the level of vitamin D. This can help your health practitioner recommend the amount of supplementation for vitamin D that you should take.

Fresh herbs can provide trace nutrients and flavors that are beneficial to our body. Pick them close to the time you are going to use them. However, any fresh is better than dry and dry is better than no herbs at all. If fresh, cut them into appropriate size pieces, then put them in the dish after it is done cooking. Leave the lid on so the heat brings the flavor out a little, but remove the dish from the heat. If dry, break them up with your fingers before putting them in.

Part of supporting your body is providing it with rest, nourishment and exercise. These all seem very obvious, but so often seem to pushed to the side with all the other things that are clamoring for our attention. Check at the end of the day: 1. Did I eat regularly and have protein, something live and omega 3 each time? 2. Did I get enough rest, both sleep at night and the deeper rest of a spiritual practice? 3. Did my body get some movement? Tell yourself, “Good job!” where you did well. Where you did not do so well, think about what you can do tomorrow to make a change. Even a small change each day will start you on the path to a body that will help you fulfill your goals.

I learned something more about MSG (monosodium glutamate) this week. MSG enhances the flavors of food that it is in. This can make you eat more than you normally would. However, it also has an additional affect on appetite. It turns off the leptin receptors in the cells. Leptin is the mechanism by which our bodies receive the message that we are full. MSG thus turns off the ability of our bodies to tell if we are full and probably is a significant contributor to weight gain in the United States. Fred Payne has described MSG as breaking down the brain’s ability to communicate with the rest of the body. Most restaurant and store bought salad dressings have MSG. So you eat salad thinking it is good for you and will help you lose weight. Instead it turns off your “I am full” mechanism. A great web site about MSG is http://www.msgmyth.com/. Especially look at the page “Hidden Names for MSG.” You can dowse for “How many radionic units of glutamate in this food?” Since glutamates occur naturally, a small number is ok. The more processed the food, the more glutamates it will have.

It turns out that a simple alternate breathing exercise can lower blood pressure and help irregular heart beat. The study on blood pressure showed an 18 point drop from doing the breathing exercise 15 minutes three times a day. You can do it while doing other activities such as watching TV or riding in a car. The traditional time to do it is before you meditate. Close the right nostril with your right thumb. Breathe out through the left side and then in through the left side. Now close the left nostril using the third and forth fingers of the right hand. Breathe out through the right side and in through the right side. Repeat. You are breathing in on one side and out on the other side. There is no need to count your breaths or the time you are breathing in and out. Just breathe as you normally would.

Both the color and the material of our clothes can affect our health and emotions. Our skin needs to breathe. Most synthetics do not allow the air to move through them. If you are wearing a skirt or loose fitting pants, this is not as much of an issue, but tight fitting clothes should breathe. If you find your body sweating where it is pressing against a chair, it could be either from the clothes you are wearing or the covering on the chair.

Colors also have an influence on us. Not only consider what colors you wear, but those that you sit on and sleep under. Feng shui uses colors to make corrections that minimize negative influences and emphasize positive influences. It also considers your element (fire, earth, water, metal or wood), which is determined by your birth time. It then recommends wearing the color of the element that supports your element. For example, if you are metal then earth yields metal, so you would favor the earth colors of yellow and brown. But better than an intellectual analysis, watch how you react while wearing different colors. You should even change clothes during the day if you find you are being more irritable or less balanced than normal. You can also dowse for a given day, as everything changes somewhat with the seasons and what you need to accomplish.

More and more the advice is being given to eat small amounts more often. This helps keep the blood sugar levels from having large fluctuations. Fluctuations in blood sugar can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease as well as contribute to mood swings, fatigue, irritability and inability to concentrate. Since people have different metabolic rates, those with a fast metabolism need to eat every 2 to 2 ½ hours. Those with slower metabolisms can go 3-4 hours. The time between is also influenced by what you ate last. If you feel a little light headed or famished, then you have waited too long. When ever you eat, there should be protein, a fruit or vegetable (something live), and something with omega-3 oil. When looking at your schedule for the day, pack an appropriate snack if there will be too long between meals.

There is a growing understanding that stress produces chemical changes in the body that actually shorten one’s life and make the brain’s functioning deteriorate. Meditation can help dissolve these stress chemicals. That is one reason that meditation has such a powerful influence on health and brain functioning.

What is turning up about what is stressful is not necessarily obvious. Exercise is generally a stress reducer. However, if you spend a half hour at the gym resenting the time and effort, then the exercise actually creates stress chemicals. This reaffirms the importance of doing what you love.

Stressful situations at work cause the most health problems for the people who have the least control over what they do and how they do it.

When dowsing for what supplements to take, remember to ask when in the day you should take each one. They are finding that the time of day can have significant impact on the effects of prescription drugs. The same thing holds for supplements.

Stress definitely impacts our physical health. See Things You Can Do Health Reducing Stress for how to reduce that stress. But stress can also strengthen us. A plant that never experiences any wind is less strong and resilient than a plant that is blown on from time to time. The breeze causes it to put down deeper roots and strengthen its core. Resentment of the stress can be more detrimental than the stress itself. So when experiencing a stress, you can give a little “thank you!” to the universe for making you stronger.

Our body must be properly nourished to maintain health. One important thing is to eat regularly so that there are not large ups and downs in your blood sugar levels. Interestingly, it is fat that plays a significant role in evening out blood sugar levels. Low fat diets can cause problems with the pancreas and insulin levels. Fat slows down the absorption of food from the digestive tract. Thus if you have a little fat with your meal, there will be a longer time before you feel hungry again. Without fat, the rest of food is absorbed quickly and is quickly gone. Thus you feel hungry sooner and may have too low of blood sugar before you eat again. So eating some fat will help a diet, as it will be longer until you are hungry, and it will also help your pancreas and your emotional stability.

There are connections through the energy meridians of the body from the feet to all other parts of the body. Massaging the sole of your foot can sometimes bring relief for a physical symptom you are experiencing. Feel around with your thumb and fingers for sore spots, and then press on the sore spot with a circular pressure. There are books on reflexology with diagrams of what part of the foot connects to which part of the body. However, if you rub whatever spots are sensitive, you do not have to know intellectually which spot goes to which part of the body. At the base of the toes connects to the sinuses and can give relief for sneezing, colds and allergies.

With the coming holidays, you will have the opportunity to eat many foods that you have not prepared or chosen. It is especially important to do the 9961 blessing: say “9961” 3 times while circling the object clockwise with your right hand. Then say “Intensify and Magnify. Thank you Creator of All That Is.”

Instead of just blessing the food on your plate, you can do everything on the table or in the buffet line. Then you are also blessing it for everyone else who eats it. This can avoid the problem of going back for seconds and forgetting to bless it.

If you do not remember before you start eating, you can move the blessing back in time. Do the blessing, then with your left hand, make a karate chop thinking about the time right before you started eating. Hold your left hand there and karate chop with the right hand into the present moment. Then have the intention of moving the blessing back in time while moving your right hand over until it touches the left palm.

We often have the desire to help those with physical problems. It is crucial that before you do healing work for someone that you confirm four things:
1) that it is in their highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is;
2) that it is in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of all That Is;
3) that there is no detriment for them (check that percentage detriment is less than 1%); and
4) that these is no detriment for you (again, check that percentage detriment is less than 1%).

Sometimes if you get a no for one procedure, you can get a yes for something else. More and more it is best to send all healing codes and requests through the Creator of All That Is. This can provide greater protection for you and them. Because the Creator is doing the work, it also helps your thinking to reaffirm the true source of the healing. This is very beneficial for keeping the ego in check and has the fringe benefit of there being fewer negative repercussions for you.

One of the things that is rarely understood is that some things you might want to clear have booby traps associated with them. The booby trap can be detrimental for the person being healed, for the healer, or for both. Phoenix Vibrational Practitioners have been trained to check for booby traps and know how to clear them so that the clearing can be done with safety.

There is a natural outward pressure in your teeth that tends to push things away. Sugar reverses this pressure. This allows cavities to develop more easily. Sometimes teeth that ache will stop aching if sugar is removed as the aching can come from the change in the flow in the dentinal tubules. When you eat sugar, the bacteria in the mouth form acids. These acids can cause the teeth to hurt and eat away at the enamel making it weaker and the tooth more sensitive. Xylitol does not cause this pressure reversal. It also will actually build up the enamel. Most xylitol comes from corn cobs grown and processed in China. It is preferable to use the xylitol which comes from birch trees.

Remember in giving thanks to include thanks to the various organs and processes of your body. Because they function perfectly most of the time, we tend to forget what incredible processes support our every thought and action. The soul song preparatory words invite in our body to receive a blessing from soul song. If there is some area of concern, you can mention it by name and follow the instructions for surrounding it with a ball of light. You can also ask the complaining part of the body what it is trying to tell you. Then pay attention to those “angel thoughts” about what to eat or avoid eating, who you need to do a forgiveness technique with, and/or something you need to do or stop doing.

Whatever healing modality you are using, you can make it more effective by requesting that two simple things be added to whatever you are doing. Ask that the Creator of All That Is send whatever you are doing back to the point of inception. Also request that it be effective for you whenever and wherever is it in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is.

If you are drinking a cup of herb tea, ask that its influence be sent back to the point of inception of what is bothering you and that it be effective “whenever and wherever it is in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is.” If a prayer, ask that those two things be added to the healing and/or codes. If it is a pill, make the same two requests.

Being able to move your healing in time is a very powerful technique. See a timeline moving from your left side to your right side. Directly in front of you is the present. To the left is the past and to the right is the future.

To move something back in time. karate chop your right hand directly in front of you (the present) with the intention of placing whatever you want to move at that point. Then karate chop with your left hand a foot or so to the left with the intention that it be at the time in the past you want the healing to move back to. (It could be the “point of inception of _______________.”) Take a deep breath, then on the out breath through the mouth, keep your left hand fixed and move your right hand to the left until the palms touch. While moving the right hand, have the intention of moving the healing back to that point.

Moving something into the future, the left hand is in the present and the right hand in the future. The left then moves until it touches the right palm.

It is a great gift to be able to move things in time. Take advantage of it.

It may seem obvious, but dealing with physical symptoms, especially cold and flu symptoms, at the first small symptom can stop it from developing further. This includes such common sense things as making sure you get enough sleep and meditation if you feel the start of something, making sure your bedroom and work areas have good humidity, eating regularly, and drinking lots of water (not caffeinated drinks or alcohol).

Homeopathic remedies and herb teas are especially effective when taken at the first feeling of discomfort. I try to take Cold Calm within a couple of minutes of the first sneeze. Continuing to push as if nothing is wrong can lead to longer and more severe illnesses.

At this time it appears that many people are experiencing physical problems that they have had in the past. It is almost like there is an attempt to suck us back to our previous level of consciousness. Though we have experienced them in the past, now we are more spiritually developed and have more tools and healers to help us deal with the issue. See it as a chance for the old reality to move permanently out of your system. Thank it for any lessons that it may have helped you to learn, invite it to listen to a soul song with you, and then give it to the Creator to move it out of your field.

Our bodies are a wonderful mechanism that performs thousands of intricate interactions every hour. All of these processes are supported or hindered by the presence of the building blocks that they require. That is why what we nourish our body with affects its functioning. Once I put diesel fuel in my gas engine by mistake. The car made it about 3 blocks. Often our bodies do not give us so dramatic of a failure, but the wrong fuel does affect it over time. It seems that the ‘rules’ about what you should eat change every year or so. What to do? First, eat food that you enjoy eating. It you do not enjoy eating the food, even the “healthiest” food will be poison for you. Second, remember that MSG and sugar “fool” your senses. MSG makes things taste really good regardless of its nutrition and it shuts off the “I am full” signal. Young children will eat a balanced diet over the course of a week when they can choose on their own. However, once they eat sugar, they lose this ability to eat a balanced diet. Third, bless everything, including pills and drinks, before ingesting it. Forth, stretch out how long it takes to eat your two big meals. Try dividing it in thirds and waiting 5 minutes between thirds. It turns out that this added time reduces how much “fat” your body will put on from the same calories. Chewing your food 10-20 times before swallowing also slows things down. Taking longer to eat also allows you body time to send you the “I am full” signal.

One of the problems with white flour is the chemical used to bleach it. Even some “brown flours” are bleached and then have color added back. Some bleaching chemicals are used to induce diabetes in rats. So not only are all the nutrients removed, but there are traces of the bleaching chemical. Eating lots of white flour can lead to constipation and malnutrition. The more refined flours and sugars one eats, the more insulin the body produces to manage it. Fat storage is promoted by insulin. This leads to rapid weight gain and higher triglycerides, which adversely affect heart health. However, instead of avoiding white flour and sugar completely, save it for one day a week that you make your “binge” day. Knowing you can have it sometimes will help you commit to avoiding it the rest of the time.

Keeping one’s blood sugar level fairly even helps all kinds of health issues including putting on less fat from the same calories and preventing diabetes. Eating before your body uses up all the previous food is the main method of avoiding ups and downs. This means eating within 30-60 minutes of getting up and eating before you get famished. Another trick is to include some oil either as a supplement taken before a meal or in the food you eat early in the meal. Timing is important as the oil slows down the uptake of the food. This helps avoid bigger swings in blood sugar levels. Waiting to eat with someone or until you finish a task are the main culprits for putting off eating. See what keeps you from eating properly, and then work out some way to nourish yourself before you are running on empty. It could be you need to set a timer to remind yourself to stop and eat or make sure you always have a snack available when you are out and about.

It may seem counter intuitive, but eating breakfast within 30-60 minutes of getting up can speed up fat loss if you are trying to lose weight. For best results, it needs to be a slow carb breakfast. It should include protein, beans and, if you want, some vegetables. Nothing white – no breads, sugar, grains or potatoes and no juices. One person lost about 20 pounds the first month doing the slow carb diet, eating breakfast and having one day a week of “anything goes binge day.” The second month, he ate the same diet, but skipped breakfast. He only lost a couple of pounds. The third month, he started doing breakfast again and lost another 20 pounds. By eating a slow carb breakfast he avoided the morning blood sugar ups and downs. The ups and downs in blood sugar cause an insulin response that leads to fat storage. So weight gain or loss is more than just the number of calories consumed. The kind of calories and the timing are also key factors.

If you find yourself almost tripping or stumbling, then immediately ground yourself to the earth. Take both palms starting at your waist and push them down toward the earth. Do this while blowing air out forcefully through the mouth. Then pull your palms back up to your waist while breathing in through the mouth. You can also say “Get myself back in this body” six times.

If the lack of coordination is still there, then some other influence could be trying to latch on to you. You can then say “Get everyone else out of this body” six times.

If the stumbling happens consistently at a particular place, then check for the obvious things in the environment that might contribute to instability. This includes such things as the shoes you are wearing to a throw rug that catches your toe. There also might be some object in the area that disturbs the area’s energy flow. I once had a red object in my stairwell that caused unsteadiness going down the stairs.

One of the things that are useful to keep a daily chart of is water consumption. Back to the concept of what is tracked can be changed, keeping a chart lets you be accurate about what you are drinking. If you drink caffeine and alcohol, you will want to have a separate place to mark those drinks. Caffeine and alcohol both tend to dehydrate you. Thus, that fluid cannot be counted towards drinks that are hydrating you. If you have days of the week down the side, then have numbered columns so that you can fill in a square for each cup you drink. This will give you a graph the can easily be compared from day to day and over a month. The goal should be to get to 8 cups a day. Give yourself a star on the days you meet your goal!

A fellow apprentice in Phoenix Vibrational Healing™ taught me a technique to help the body stay hydrated. Step 1 reminds the body of what to do with the water your drink and takes less than a minute to do: Place your hands on both sides of your head. Palms should be resting near the tops of the ears and fingers almost meeting at the top of your head. Move the fingers so your scalp moves around for about 15 seconds. Then a) make a claw with your left hand and encircle your belly button, b) place your tongue against the roof of your mouth, and c) place your right hand on the top of head with the palm at the top of your forehead, the thumb resting a little in front of your right ear and the pinky resting a little in front of your left ear. Then tap the top of your head with the other three fingers about 10 times. Step 2 should be done every time you drink water. It is called the SOS step. S – sip (do not gulp) O – Oscillate (swish the water around in your mouth) This mixes your saliva in with the water so your stomach will know that it needs to absorb it. S – Swallow. Do Step 1 two to three times a week and do SOS every time you drink water. Thank you Betty for your storehouse of knowledge!

Welcome - These days of financial downturn can make one anxious. It is important to treasure that which lasts. The universe knows you also have need for money and it can flow to you in any situation if you open yourself to new possibilities. Do not be locked into what you have done before to earn money. Trust your "angel thoughts" that provide fleeting thoughts of things outside the box.

Greetings. It is good to have you hear this daily blessing. The flow from the Absolute to you is a channel that opens more fully through these soul songs. It would be good to note when you started receiving these soul song blessings and then look back in one month, three months, six months and a year to see changes that have taken place. Write down your current conditions and/or concerns for each of the topics. Then note changes at each interval. Otherwise you may miss the differences as the goodness will seem normal.

There is a difference between what we want and what we need. If your wants are not being fulfilled, check and see if they are in your highest and best interests as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is.

These times are making us all reconsider what can be eliminated in our spending habits. When the money starts flowing, as it will, it will be good to remember this analysis. You will then be able to set aside money for future downturns and also to use it to bless others and Mother Earth.

There are beliefs about money that can hinder the flow of money to you. Connect into a meditative state that links you to the Creator of All That Is. Say: "Creator of All That Is I am asking that you research, identify, find, locate, count and number all forms, types, levels, quantities and classifications of beliefs that block, impede and or diminish the flow of financial blessings to me and _______________________ (name people and/or businesses) at our core, soul, history and DNA. Please reveal the positive beliefs about money that will bless us." Write down these positive beliefs. Often the positive belief will reveal the underlying negative belief that needs to be cleared.

Then list any negative belief that you come up with. "Creator of All That Is, I am asking that you educate me and these beliefs as appropriate and that you lift them, clear, dissolve discreate, transmute, incinerate, banish, purge and or cast them to their appropriate place for the number of times, places, ones, throughout fully to completion from all time frames, levels, dimensions, realms, realities, densities, planes, planes of dimensions, inner dimensions, any between - betweens, and all universes from all that I and _____________________ ARE that we ARE including all our souls, cores, history, and DNA. We ask that this be done now, so be it, we are thanking Thee and so it is done now." Breath deeply in through the nose and out through the mouth.

Then say: "Creator of All That Is, I am asking that you download the positive beliefs about finances that will bless us. I am asking that this be down now, so be it, we are thinking Thee, and so it is done now." Breath in through the mouth and out through the nose. Listen/feel what the new positive beliefs are.

Thanks is an important part of receiving blessings, be they financial or other blessings. Instead of dwelling on your lack, give thanks for that which is there whether small or large. Give thanks when paying a bill or buying something in a store or online. Give thanks as you drop the payment in the mailbox or click on the button that pays online. Of course, also give thanks anytime your receive something. It is a circle - in and out. Give thanks coming in, give thanks while you have it and then give thanks as it goes out. Thank you.

Supply is more than just finances. Our needs can be met sometimes without money coming to us first. A friend gives you something or you run into an acquaintance who gives you a lead to obtain something you need. Sometimes the supply is knowledge or an idea. You will read something or hear it on the radio or from a conversation that is the missing piece that you need. This is support of Natural Law. Your support of the changes in your own consciousness and those of Mother Earth then brings support from all levels back to you. As before, give thanks.

It is important not to limit your efforts to improve your finances. Most problem areas of our life require addressing the issue from several directions. Do the things that have worked for you in the past, but also analyze if they are still appropriate or need to be tweaked in some way. Also be open to new ways. Each week see if there is some new approach you can take. Pay attention to your "angel thoughts" which may be a random thought in your head, something you read or a comment from another person. The universe wants to bless you because of your commitment to spiritual growth. do not ignore the little (or not so little) pushes it gives you towards new directions.

Every day give thanks for something every hour. Gratitude greases the wheels for bringing in more blessings. If the current blessings are not appreciated, why should the universe send more your way?

As money becomes tighter and there is less work, an unexpected side benefit is that we may find that we have more time.

Soul song affects the area where it is played, even if there is no one there to hear it. If there is a special need you have, like supply and finances, then you can put the soul song on repeat and leave it playing softly on your computer all day. You can even take one of the soul songs for each day and set up the group of them to repeat. You may turn down the volume completely when you are working at your computer and then turn it back up when you are done.

Supply and finances are affected by our thoughts. If you think to yourself, “I am always having to work. I do not have any free time.” Then you will always have to work and you will not have any free time. Remember to say “Cancel. Cancel. Cancel.” when you find yourself thinking thoughts that do not support your desires. Substitute a positive belief such as “Money and supply come easily for me.” Use the techniques in Theta Healing if you have that book. Otherwise, say the positive phrase out loud 3 times while circling your heart clockwise with your right hand. End with “Integrate, integrate, integrate this belief into all levels of my body mind field complex in my highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is. Thank you. It is done; it is done; it is done.”

There comes a time when it is good to look at where you are headed and if you should continue on that path. Sometimes supply does not come because of what you plan to do with it and with your time. It can also be how you are trying to bring in supply. Your actions, as much as possible, should always come from a place of integrity. If your job does not allow you to act with integrity, then trust that the universe will fulfill your supply needs if you break with that job.

When the universe starts sending supply your way, it will often start out small. It is almost like a test. What do you do with it? Do you express gratitude? “Thank you” three times at the end of the soul song is thanking 1) the Creator of All That Is for what you have received, 2) the holy saints and angels for their assistance in bringing it to you, and 3) your soul-mind-body for being willing and ready to receive it. This triple thanks is appropriate whenever you receive a blessing.

Things that come our way can supply our needs without being extravagant or they can provide extra frosting to our needs. Remember that friends and loved ones are also part of our "supply."

Remember that, when finances and supply start flowing in, do not rush out to spend that which is not even completely there yet. Always set some aside as a cushion for fluctuations in supply. Ask for wisdom in how to spend and invest. If it is too good to be true, then – surprise – it will not be true. And, as the old saying goes, never put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify any investments. Especially now do not speculate unless you can avoid to lose it. Ah - such mundane advice from soul song,

There are four things that work together to increase supply: 1) Playing these souls songs constantly, will move supply in your direction. 2) It is also necessary to remove any previous vows of poverty. Fred Payne has taught his students a technique for doing this. Ask Lois if you need it done. 3) Sometimes beliefs need to be changed. Remember that you not only need to put in the positive belief, but you also need to pull and cancel the inappropriate belief. 4) Giving thanks. See Increasing Money and Supply in Things You Can Do

Discernment is a gift from the Creator that you can ask for. With finances and supply, discernment involves being able to see what to have as your goals. Often there is an underlying belief that one has to work hard to achieve one's goals. This belief needs to be pulled and replaced with something like, “I can achieve my goals effortlessly and have fun doing it.”

The universe does support our desires. As we evolve, the fulfillment of our desires comes ever faster. So – be careful what you wish for, as you will get it. It is good to reassess what you are working towards every six months or so. Do you still want that desire fulfilled? There are two schools of thought about how to have the universe bring things to you. 1) Be very specific and envision it. 2) Acknowledge that the Creator knows your needs at every level and will provide them if you put your trust in that process. For example, if you are looking for a mate, you could list everything that mate should have (do not list what you do not want). The other way is to pray, "Perfect mate of God, over and out. Thank you, thank you, thank you." Both ways work, but can give different results.

Ideas and intuition are an unappreciated source of supply. When giving thanks for your daily blessings, remember to include the ideas and intuitions that have come to you. Another way you can be blessed is by running into someone that then leads to an increase in supply. But you need to act on that contact or that possibility will disappear. So take notice of who comes across your path during the day and, if appropriate, make sure to take steps to see them again.

There are no limits to what the Divine can supply. However, it is not unusual for someone who receives great supply to be so busy taking care of "things" that there is no longer time for the spiritual aspect of their life. Ask for wisdom to know what to put your attention on, as deemed in your highest and best interest by only the Creator of All That Is.

The Bible says, "In all things give thanks." That implies that thanks should be given at all times throughout the day. We tend to have specific times to give blessings – like before we eat and if we have a meditation practice that gives thanks. But giving thanks regularly throughout the day for little as well as big things can free up even more flow of blessings into your life. It is also fun to see the many odd ways that the universe can bring supply your way.

The Universe will bring us what we put our attention on. But whether it will bless us and make us happy depends on how closely our desires are in tune with the Creator. That is why a daily meditation program to bring one in contact with the Creator is imperative. Then not only will our desires be fulfilled, but they will also bring us happiness, contentment and peace.

Sometimes it is good to look at what we want in terms of how many hours we have to work for the money needed to purchase the item. On this planet right now, time is one thing of which there is not an infinite supply.

Then you can decide whether that item is worth the commitment of time.

There are techniques that can help the fulfillment of all your goals, financial and otherwise. Phoenix Vibrational Healing™ has tools to attune you to your goals. Make a list of your goals. Only state positive goals (do not use any negatives like not, never, etc.). Use words like I am, I can, I deserve - which are all in the present tense. Do not use words for the future like I will or I shall. Some goals might include:
I love myself unconditionally.
I deserve to be loved.
I deserve financial independence.
I can achieve my goals easily.

What we put our attention on grows. If you have your attention on lack – then lack is what grows. Thoughts of "if only I had," "I do not have enough to...," and "what will happen if ________ (disaster of your choice)" continually draw one's attention to what is not or what you are afraid of. Mental comparisons in your mind of what someone else has compared to you are also a sure path to unhappiness. There will always be someone who has more of something than you have. As mentioned before, the best way to bring in more of something is to give thanks for what you already have.

Sometimes doing the thing we love requires further education in that field. Once you have made your decision about the direction you want to go, then do not put conditions on it such as: "If I get the money, I will take that course." Instead, the commitment that will be supported is the decision: "'I am going to take this course. Let me be open to ideas about what I need to do to make it happen."

Giving becomes a major concern during the holiday season. It is important not to go into debt in order to give. There are lots of pressures that are often hard to resist. However, those that truly love you do not want you to suffer hardship in order to give presents.

If you do buy something, remember that supporting local stores supports your community which in turn supports you.

You have the choice of whether to dwell on what you have or on what you do not have. Just think a “thank you” as your eyes pass over something in your environment that you are grateful for. Remember to be thankful for none material things as well – the health of the body that moves you, relationships that bless you, and your abilities including being able to learn things, to carry on a conversation, and to be able to give and receive love. It is best to avoid giving thanks for things which “are not.” For example, “I am so grateful that I do not have ________________.” Since the universe ignores the “not,” it will remove the “not” and respond to “I am so grateful that I do have ______________.” This may lead to a manifestation of the thing you were grateful to avoid.

The universe may shut a door on us, sometimes rather suddenly. Then it is good to ask to be able to see the new door that you should walk though. Letting your thoughts dwell on the past situation will slow down the movement toward a new situation. Thoughts along the line of “They should have..., they never...., he did not...” keep you in the past, put all the blame on someone else, and do not help you grow from the experience. However, looking at a past situation and playing the game of “what could I have done differently” allows you to consider changes in your behavior that could help you in the future. Because work situations usually involve other imperfect people, it is important to develop tools to deal with the imperfections in other people. See Things You Can Do Relationships for tools that help both at home and at work. If you practice them at home and with friends, then they will be easier to use at work.

Amazingly enough, there is an unlimited supply. If you receive a supply blessing, it does not take away from someone else's blessing. It is not like birthday cake, where there are only so many pieces. This means you do not have to hope for someone else's failure in order to receive a blessing yourself. It also is counter intuitive that giving away part of your supply should bring in even more or that using it is better than hoarding it. But these concepts have been taught by great teachers throughout the years. So, this is not a new teaching, but just a reminder of truth of what has been taught before.

Even when there are financial and supply difficulties, we have a choice as to whether we spend more time stewing about what we do not have or more time giving thanks for what we do have. Those of us in industrialized societies usually have incredible blessings, from a bed to sleep in, a roof over our heads and even plumbing. Each day give thanks for at least five things that you normally just take for granted from a garbage disposal to curbside garbage pickup. You will be amazed at how many days and months will pass before you run out of things and have to start repeating what you gave thanks for before. (Listing things in a spreadsheet program like Excel allows you to alphabetize the list and check to see if you mentioned it before.)

Sometimes when things are tough, it is tempting to bend our honesty and integrity a little. Instead, this is the time when it is absolutely crucial to act with integrity. You may find it necessary to break off relationships with those who keep encouraging you to bend your integrity a little. Especially with the phase transition happening on Mother Earth and with the large coherence creating group in Iowa, actions without integrity will have much greater “boomerang” karma than before. If you are dowsing about what action to take, one of the things to check is the percentage of integrity associated with that action.

Our supply comes not just from money, but from the gift of time that friends and colleagues give us. It is always good to express gratitude for these gifts, however small they may seem. And it is good, from our side, to do that proverbial “one random act of kindness” a day. Just holding a door open for someone or letting them go first in traffic can start a ripple where they will in turn do something because part of them remembers your gesture. The nature of ripples is that they go out and then bounce back to surprise and bless you. So make ripples that you will be glad to receive the reflection back.

On the news they were interviewing a person affected by power outages in California. Her response was that what they were experiencing was nothing like Haiti and she was very grateful for what she had. This was definitely an amazing gift of wisdom coming into everyone's home via the news. Because the news generally just brings in disaster news, then that is what people think about and what you think about manifests. If you listen to the news, make it a tool of your spiritual practice where you send blessings to those in need and give thanks for your blessings. Remember never to give thanks for that which has not happened. For example, do not say, “I am so grateful that I did not get flooded.” The universe will ignore the “not” and hear the thanks “that I did get flooded.” It will want to please you and send floods your way.

Everything comes from the Creator of All That Is. It is when we think that we are doing the providing that we may find that some our supply begins to slip away. That is the time to stop and reaffirm where the true supply comes from. When you hear others dwelling on their lack, take the opportunity to slip in some appreciation for what still exists to bless them.

Things that require our time are, in effect, also requiring that we give up the money that time could have earned. We have the choice as to whether to spend that time earning money or doing something else. When you do not have something to do that brings in money, then you can make choices to do things with your time that normally you would have paid someone else to do. This includes such things as cleaning your house or making car repairs. This balance between what you do yourself and what you pay someone else to do is very flexible. It is useful to look at this balance from time to time and see if it is serving your current desires or if it has just become a habit.

When your finances are not tight, then you do not have to make as many decisions about how to prioritize your expenditures. When things get tighter, then you start having to make choices about priorities. It is good to start prioritizing things sooner rather than later. You may find that there are some things that were taking resources that you now consider to be a waste. When the flow turns around and you have more resources, then you may direct less resources towards them or even eliminate them completely. This then frees up resources for things and endeavors that you truly value. Doing this analysis even when not short of resources can lead to much wiser spending.

We have all had times where we worked very hard and received very little if anything for our effort. Then there are times where we do little and seem to reap great rewards. It is easy to think that the rewards come from our effort. It is true that we must take action to bring forth results. However, the real source of supply is not what we do, but the Creator of All That Is. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi says that as we become more evolved we can “Do less and accomplish more.” That is because nature will support our activities. Without the support of nature, all of our efforts can be brought to naught. Each day give thanks for the body and mind that allow you to participate in this world. Ask for wisdom to see that which needs to be done and the strength to do it.

If you have an adjustable rate mortgage, it would probably be good check the predictions for when rates will go up. When rates go up, adjustable payments could quickly become unwieldy. Try to avoid the loans that are fixed for 3-5 years and then start adjusting. Unless you are very financially astute, it is good to have other people read the mortgage documents before you commit.

Financial and supply blessings are one of the things that can come in through windows and also leave. That is why it is important to uncover the windows and let the light in during the day and then to cover them again in the evening when the sun goes down. If they are left open all the time, blessings can come in, but then turn around and leave again that evening. There will be no accumulation. On the other hand, if the windows are covered all of the time, then there is no flow in. This applies to businesses as well as homes. Also, if the door is in a direct line with a window or door on the opposite wall, what ever blessing enters through the door then just immediately exits on the other side. There should be no line of sight from the door to an opposite window or door.

Supply can come from new directions. When the universe sends an opportunity your way, do not turn it down simply because it is not what you normally do or what did not work in the past. Now is a time of flux, and we must be flexible in what we are willing to do. On the other hand, if something is not working, then think about what you can change. It is magical thinking to believe that you can keep doing the same thing and get different results.

Every once in a while, surprising information comes about something that you thought you understood. In the last course with Master Sha he mentioned in passing that one of the best ways to help financial blessings flow to you is to do soul dance. So now, the advice is not only to listen to soul song and sing or hum along, but also to move and dance to the soul song. As with soul song, this is not a function directed by your mind. Just let the movements flow. You can do it sitting and just move your torso, head and arms. Even better – stand and move as your space allows. Remember to do the “Hello” greeting: “Dear my soul, mind and body. I love you! You have the ability to move in ways that will heal and transform my ____________________. Do a good job. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Dear Divine, please come dance in my body. Thank you, thank you, thank you.” One of the great joys of the Soul Light Era is that the major tools for our advancement in all areas of life are singing and dancing.

Giving thanks for what we have needs to be integrated into every hour of the day. We usually say thanks before eating, but often will not say thanks any other time of the day. Try to come up with something that can remind you every hour. Before getting up and before falling asleep are also prime times to put in a hearty thank you. Thank not only the Divine, but also remember to thank those you interact with during the day. To all of you, I am very grateful for the opportunity to sing soul songs for you and write these translations. Thank you, thank you, thank you!.

These times require flexibility in our decisions about money and work. You may find it useful to prioritize your spending. Things that you used to consider as useful to spend money on may not appear so useful any more. Sometimes you can even sell items that have out grown their usefulness. Make sure that you will have the money to pay off anything that you charge. Interest fees on charge cards are very insidious, making purchases much more expensive than their original cost. If there is some larger expense that must be charged that you cannot pay off immediately, then put it on a card that is not used for your regular gas and food purchases. Then you will only have to pay interest on the larger expense and not on all your regular expenses.

It is so easy to dwell on that which we do not have rather than expressing gratitude for those things we do have. There is also the tendency to compare what we have to what someone else has. Some of the greatest gifts are supplied by the Creator for free: a body to experience the world with, a world filled with incredible beauty, a sun that comes up every day. What we put our attention on grows. If you have your attention on what you lack, than “lack” is what will grow. I f you give thanks for the little things, than more things to be thankful for will manifest.

It is a joy to be able to constantly receive new knowledge. This is a supply that we often forget when looking at our wealth. Give thanks each day for that which you have learned.

Wisdom is a treasure that is often overlooked. Be grateful for the wisdom that comes your way. Be sure and thank those individuals who transmit the wisdom. It can be a useful tidbit on how to run your computer or fix your car. Support those who take the time to study and expand their understanding of how our bodies and consciousness interact with the cosmos. They will in turn use their new knowledge to bless your life and all those that come in contact with them. The Creator is providing more and more to those who put their knowledge to use.

It is good to take sensible precautions to make sure that your financial transactions with individuals or companies are documented. Do not trust on their word. Make sure everything is in writing. This is useful for both sides so that expectations and payments are clearly spelled out. If a person or company does not want to put the agreement in writing, then it might be better to work with someone else. If you have any questions at all about how the document will unfold over time, such as with a mortgage, be sure and ask someone you trust to explain it to you.

Most of us have to work for our money. Thus anything that we buy, in effect, is requiring a certain amount of our time to pay for it. Today I heard about “Lifestyle Creep.” This is where you get a snazzy pair of pants and then “need” a better pair of shoes to go with them. Then you “need” a new top to complement the pants and shoes. Before you know it, you “need” a better car to go with the new outfit. All of these require a certain amount of time for you to work to pay for them. So it is good every once in a while stop and consider whether you would rather be getting something different with your time and money.

Supply is more than just supply of your physical needs. You will also be supplied with friends, teachers, significant others, and knowledge. All fields of knowledge are expanding. The traditions are still valid, but you will be given insight about how to integrate new wisdom from other modalities to make old systems an even more powerful tool. This is the time to be flexible, pay attention to tidbits of knowledge that are sent your way, and see what works.

That which is given to you should be put to good use. Two things to be avoided are hoarding and frittering. Hoarding is accumulating things and then stashing them away without utilizing them. Frittering is letting that which comes in go towards many little things which provide no useful purpose. Frittering on a large scale is squandering. If you show gratitude for what you receive and show good stewardship with it, then more will be sent your way.

If one door is closed, it is good to consider if you should try to open the same door again, use another door to get to the same goal, or change your goal. Maybe you could even stop for right now and then approach it again in the future. Some things to consider include a) Does working toward that goal bring you pleasure? b) If you achieve it, what then? Now, in one year, in 5 years, in twenty years? c) If you do not achieve it, what are the pluses and minuses? Now, in one year, in 5 years, in twenty years? d) All goals take some of our time. Consider what you did 5 years ago. Rate things as to whether you now consider the time well spent, a necessary task, or now you would rather have done something else. Make up your own rating system. Then look at today as from the future in five years and apply your rating system. It may change what you choose to spend your time on.

It is easy to think that what we do is the source of our supply. However, everything flows from the Creator of All That Is. It is important for us to take action to facilitate the flow to us. But the minute we start congratulating ourselves on our brilliance or cleverness or hard work, then we will discover that even with all of those things, supply will start to slip away.

Giving thanks throughout the day for your blessings not only opens up the channel for more blessings to flow your way, but it also opens up the channel for more joy to flow your way. Voice your thanks out loud. Have fun with the way you say it. Be playful with your variations. The Bible says “The Lord loves a cheerful giver.” When you give of your money or time with joy, much is returned to you. Gifts that are given begrudgingly do not benefit your soul. The Creator also loves joyful thanksgiving. “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise.”

Financial and supply blessings involve not only the receiving of these blessings, but being able to retain the blessings. There are things that allow things to flow in, but to also flow out just as fast, if not faster. 1) On the practical side, one can keep track of where you are spending money and see if it is something you really want to continue having. Determine if you should eliminate it or see there is some other way to achieve it with less money. 2) On the feng shui side, windows that let light in during the day also let the flow of supply chi in. However, they need to be covered at night so the chi does not leave through them. Also, from the front door or the door through which you enter your house, there should not be an unobstructed few of a window or door on the other. A good feng shui practitioner can also help with other aspects of your home that will support finances and supply. 3) Check your beliefs about money and notice your thought processes. Are they focused on what you are lacking or where you want to be? Various soul song messages have addressed changing beliefs, thought processes and affirmations. 4) It may be that you need to get rid of vows of poverty from this or previous lifetimes that are still affecting you. Phoenix Vibrational Healing™ has techniques for doing this.

You can use the soul conferencing technique to Soul Market your business. You still must use the usual marketing tools, but they will become much more effective. For example, you could invite in the soul, minds, and bodies of all of those who would benefit from using your product in a particular area (city, state, country). Tell them about your product – how it is better than others, how it works, how they will benefit from using it, etc. If you want them to read a flyer or go to your web site, give the location of the flyer or web site and then read out loud the flyer or the appropriate page from your web site. You could even ask them for feedback. Does it meet their needs? Is there some other feature they would like to see? Do this soul conference with a different aspect of your business everyday at the end of your meditation/healing program. You could invite in the soul, mind, body of the building where you work, of the meeting room, of the web site, your business card, etc. When you are done, listen to a soul song together, thank them/it for coming, bless them on their path, and send them on their way (gong song, gong song, gong song).

Sometimes when our usual work is not available, the Universe is providing us with time to pursue activities that will bless us in other ways. Do not be so focused on continuing what you have been doing in the past that you miss sign-posts for other possibilities. You can even use some of the extra time to provide service to others.

We are taken care of on many levels, but it is easy to look at what we do not have rather than look at the many blessings that come our way every day. Interestingly, thinking about what we do not have can perpetuate that lack. It is a manifestation of the rule that what you focus on will come to pass. Thinking, "I am always short of money!" will make sure that you are always short of money.

Using the appreciation techniques can turn your focus on that which you have. See Things You Can Do Giving Thanks, That will start the universe moving in the direction of continuing to manifest. Some people suggest being specific about what you want to manifest. That not only limits the manifestation, but also implies that you actually know what will bring you happiness and satisfaction. Think about things that you have really desired in the past - how much do they mean to you now? When you find yourself thinking about "needs," say "Cancel, cancel, cancel." Then replace it with something like "Perfect supply of the Creator of All That Is. Over and out."

There are many techniques that present themselves as helping abundance and the flow of wealth and blessing to you. Be sure and dowse any technique you do for not only the percent of benefit, but also for the percent of detriment. In general, if the technique uses words like “fear” or things preceded by negatives like “not,” “no, “ and “never,” then you would need to change the wording to eliminate them.

If you give of your time or resources specifically because you expect a “return,” then you will probably not receive that “return.” On the other hand, giving as an expression of gratitude or caring will bring blessings. Receiving also requires action on your part so the blessings have a vehicle through which to manifest. Pay attention to your intuitions about what to do.

One of the underlying sources of supply is an abundance of ideas. Though ideas may come your way, they are not of any use until they are implemented.

The nature of most Ponzi schemes is that they offer slightly better returns than other investments. Bernie Madoff is only a very big example. Even here in Reno a reputable investment advisor was taken in and recommended what turned out to be a Ponzi scheme. I remember reading ads in the local paper for another fund that turned out to be a fraud. I remember reading the ad and thinking, “How can they possibly promise such a large return?!” A couple of years later it went under. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is not true.

Adding a little “Thank you!” when performing your daily chores blesses not only your consciousness but also opens up the channels for more blessings to flow your way. Often we see chores as only the work that they entail. They are something we have to do and so we can resent them. However they are often a manifestation of the blessings that we already have in our lives. Dishes need to be washed, but we do have food to put on them and dishes to hold our food. So as you wash them, offer a little thanks for the food that was on them and for the dishes themselves, running water, and a dishwasher.

When camping recently, I became more aware of things to be thankful for. These are things that underpin the comforts in our society, but which we tend to take for granted until we don’t have them. Hot water, running water, electricity available any time, internet available any time, heat, a garbage disposal, sewer connections, a dish washer, washing machine and vacuum cleaner are just a few that came to the fore during my not so rough camping in an RV park in Yellowstone. So a little “thank you!” as you use these items will enliven the channels to keep the blessings flowing.

It is easy to think that our supply comes from our hard work or good ideas. These, of course, definitely contribute to our supply. But sometimes we forget that other support makes it all possible. There is support from the Creator which greases the wheels of coincidence. We run into just the right person to provide us with an idea or connection that leads to more income. There is also the support from friends and family. The person that takes care of the mundane tasks of living may free up your time to work on something that brings in money.

People talk about the “cup half full or cup half empty” mentality. The usual understanding is that by looking at the cup as half empty, you are looking at what you do not have rather than enjoying the half that you have. It could be that the better way of looking at the cup includes both views. Give thanks for the half that you do have. Recognize that there could be more, and then put your attention on things that will complete it filling up. If there is some reason it can never be full, then it would be good to expand one’s vision past the cup. There are many aspects of our life. At any one time, some will be full, some half full and some nearly empty.

When requesting something from the Creator, whether it be financial and supply or any other area of blessing, look carefully at the implications of your wording. One couple was requesting that they make lots of money so that they could then give it to various charities. Since the end result being requested was to have the money go to the charities, it was not necessary for the money to come through them.

Then you must pay attention to the lessons you learn about what does not work. If you keep doing the same thing and expect different results, you are a true believer in miracles.

One of the odd results of making charitable gifts a deduction on your tax return is that the idea of giving in secret goes out the window. It requires you to have a documented trail of your giving whether at church or the Thrift Store. It is very insidious. If you do not claim the deduction, then you pay more taxes and thus have less money available to give. The government also controls who you give to, as the organization must be a qualified non-profit. You might see if sometimes it is better that you give a lesser amount to some cause or person that is not a “qualified deduction.”

You still have flexibility and the possibility of secrecy with donations of your time, as there is no deduction for gifts of time. There is definitely a hidden benefit to be gained by not “doing your good works before men, to be seen by them.”

It is good to have any investments you make be diversified. Thus if one type goes down, another type may be in an area that is more stable or going up. Also a variation in how liquid they are is useful. However, nothing is ever a “sure” thing. There was one investment recently that was touted as “like cash.” Local governments put their cash in it “temporarily” to earn interest only to find that they could not get it out when they needed it. But the bottom line is that it is not our investments that are supporting us. It is the Creator of All That Is that will supply our needs, even if the supply is not from conventional sources. These days it is especially important to pay attention to those “angel thought” intuitions.

There are two parts to financial blessings. One is having the finances and supply come in. The other is managing to keep as much of it as possible for your use and for your heirs. Some knowledge of the ever changing income tax and business tax laws is vital. Making sure that there is a plan for your possible physical or mental disability is also important.

When you pass, if you do not have a trust, then your assets will go into probate. There can be tens of thousands of dollars in probate costs and it can delay your loved ones from having the use of your assets.

We all receive emails that ask us to pass them on to receive some blessing. They often have a statement that it must be done within a certain time to be effective. The most insidious also threaten a negative result for not participating. Besides the possibility that you may be passing on a computer virus or wasting your friend’s time, you should never send these on without dowsing or checking at a subtle level.

Check for the percent benefit as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is and for the percent detriment. Check not only for yourself, but also for anyone that you will be sending it to.

Sometimes supply is blocked to you because of some debt obligation that you have not fulfilled. If supply seems blocked for you, then check to see if there is some obligation that you need to take care of. It can be something that you promised to do or pay that you did not take care of for some reason. It could be that you are in some way tied to another person or business that is blocked.

Sports teams have a “hey we just did really great” routine where they congratulate each other. This actually can improve their performance in the rest of the game. It gets the hormones and chemicals flowing that give them “I am a winner and capable of doing great things” feeling.

You can use a similar technique to build up “success” chemicals in your body. When something goes well, then do something that reaffirms your competence. Speak out loud, even if no one else is there. Do some physical motion that denotes success, similar to the guy in the end zone who just caught the touchdown pass.

Before going to a meeting or making a sales call, take a minute or two to remember an occasion when you did well. Feel those chemicals build up in your body and pump your self up about that success (use the same speaking out loud and physical motions). You and others will then respond positively to those chemicals in your body.

It is interesting that at Christmas time more and more people are buying themselves a gift. This gift may cost more than all the gifts they give to others. It is important to reward yourself. However, as with all gifts, it should not put you in debt with an obligation to pay it off over many months. This is especially vital in this economy where future money may not come as planned.

There is a saying that the Lord loves a cheerful giver. But there is an expansion of that thought: the Lord loves a cheerful receiver. The giving of thanks as we receive, a feeling of joy when receiving something, a laugh of delight on receiving something, these all allow the cheerful receiver to manifest.

Since the universe does work on the “ask and you shall receive” principle, if you are not receiving what you thought you requested, you might check the wording and intention of your request. Also look at how you responded in the past when receiving. See if you have been “a cheerful receiver.” If you feel to change your response in the past, use the moving in time technique from Things You Can Do Spiritual Practices Moving Things in Time.

It is easy to dwell on what we do not have rather than being grateful for the things that we do have. We manifest that which we put our attention on. If our attention is on lack, than lack is what we will manifest. If you want to change what is manifesting in your life, then change your thought.

Consider carefully the wording of what you are asking for and what you “see” as manifesting. You could ask for work and get lots of hard work, but not money for your work. The book “The 4 Hour Work Week” can get you thinking in new directions and of new possibilities.

Time is a gift that is here and then gone. At the end of the day, consider how your time was spent. Are there things that seem especially worth while and effective? Are there other things that sort of soaked up lots of time with little to show for it? If the goal was relaxation, did you feel relaxed afterward? Are there things that you wanted to do, but did not’t get done? Give thanks for the things you accomplished.

Decide if there is an activity that you should be doing less of and think about how to avoid it tomorrow.

The little tasks of a day can easily eat up all our time so that we do not accomplish that which is really important for bringing in money. It is good to have one or two “mission critical” tasks that you aim to accomplish each day.

Every interruption takes more than just the time of the event itself. It also takes a while for your mind to get back to the main task. Limit the number of times you check your email and surf the web each day. Except for mission critical calls, return calls at one or two times in the day. By doing these tasks in “batches” you only have one time at the end to bring your mind back to the main task.

At the end of each day evaluate how much time you actually spent on the main tasks. See what you can do to reduce both the interruptions from others and the things that sidetrack you. By keeping a tally of time on project, time dealing with interruptions and time doing other things, you can track your improvement and keep honing it.

The times they are a changing! If the old method of doing things is still working, then keep doing it. But if it starts to slow down or stop working altogether, then be open to new methods. The web provides the possibility of testing a product and various ways to market it even before you commit to making the product.

Remember the 80-20 principle. Eighty percent of your income will come from 20 percent of your customers. So see how to focus on the 20 percent that provide the most return for your time. Also, 20 percent of your customers will provide 80 percent of your headaches. Think about either changing the way you interact with the problem makers or not doing business with them at all.

That which we keep track of we have a chance to change. If we do not keep track of it, then our memory can trick us as to what the previous condition actually was. But it is important to keep track of the things that matter. You need to track both inputs and outputs. And carefully select the outputs that matter. In weight loss, just measuring the actual weight may hide other changes. You could be losing inches on your thighs and waist while putting on more muscle. You are less “fat” but your weight might not change much. The same holds true for a business. Measure the outputs that matter. It is not Total Sales that is the important number. When I deposited a large check once, the teller indicated she was impressed. However in my mind I thought, “It is not the total amount, it’s what I have left after paying the job costs that is the truly important number.” A person who has a small income but few expenses may have more money in the end than the person who has a large income but lots of obligations.

The equity line of credit against one’s home turned out to be a very insidious loan that distorted what people thought they could spend. In the past, the equity increase in a home was a “retirement” fund that could be drawn on when the house was sold when down sizing at retirement. When the housing market heated up, then that rapid increase in equity seemed to call out to people: “Spend me now! Why wait??” There was even a tax advantage. The lenders convinced people to pay off their credit cards since credit card interest was not deductible while the equity line interest was usually deductible. (Then the credit card would get filled up again…) However, it was still a loan and, even though it was often an interest only loan, payments still had to be made. Then when housing pricing dropped, the house was no longer worth what was borrowed against it. It is encouraging that some people are learning that any debt should be paid off. Then they can join in the Dave Ramsey chorus of “I’m debt free!!!” You can join, too: www.daveramsey.com.

As we progress spiritually, the little “angel thoughts” or intuitions that pop in our head should be trusted more and more and acted upon. It is very easy to have one of these thoughts pop through our consciousness and then talk ourselves out of acting on it. Pay attention to when you act on the thought. Also notice what happens and also to when you do not act on the thought.

As you have more of the “I knew I should have done that…” experiences, you will learn to trust those “angel thoughts.” Even if you do not act on them, give thanks for the “knowing” and commit to acting on it in the future. The supply of ideas and intuitions will increase as you start giving thanks for them and acting on them.

“In all things give thanks” is the key to unlocking unbounded flow from the Creator to you. You can thank the Creator, thank people, and thank yourself. You can thank the various systems of your body. Even going to the bathroom can become a time to give thanks. Each night you can give thanks for the things you accomplished during the day and for the blessings that came your way.

As the gospel song says, “Count your blessings, name them one by one. Count your many blessings, see what God has done.” That which is appreciated multiplies.

Controlling one’s outgo is just as important as bringing in supply. There are little expenses that we commit to that keep us from accumulating to fulfill larger desires. Even $10 a month is $120 a year. Figure out how long you have to work to bring in that amount. Remember to consider taxes you pay. You might have to earn $170 to end up with $120. Then once you figure out how many hours you have to work to support that expense, you can decide if it is worth that much of your time.

There are times when we have plenty and times when everything may be taken away. Pictures of the devastation in Japan from the tsunami show how quickly things can change. It makes one realize how all our possessions can literally be washed away in a few minutes. Sometimes it is natural forces and sometimes human actions, such as war.

The amazing thing is how, if there are any people left, that they manage to remake their life. The gift of our creativity and instincts that help survival carry us through devastation and tragedy. It is a true example that supply is more than just physical items. Remember to consider that broader supply when giving your daily thanks.

When opportunities come your way that lie outside the normal way you do things, do not reject them just because they do not fit what you have done before. Especially in these times, the Creator is using unusual ways to fulfill our requests and needs. Trust your intuitions and dowse where you can, then act accordingly.

The tsunami in Japan showed vividly how quickly every physical possession could disappear. The word possession carries the word “possess.” We usually think of it as we possess an object. However, it can be that the object possesses us. We have to care for it, insure it, and worry about it. Sometimes we do not even own the object, but the desire for it “possesses” us. It is common for us to be defined by the things that we possess or desire to posses.

It is good to give thanks daily as we use objects. One should know that the use is temporary and wisdom is being able to separate “our self” from that which we are blessed to have the use of.

“Creator of all That Is, I thank you for everything that I had the use of today. May my appreciation of your blessings grow every day. Grant me wisdom to use them wisely and guide me that I may be a blessing to others. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

There is a famous bumper sticker, “He who dies with the most toys wins.” It makes us smile because it is quite obvious that you cannot take your toys with you. (However, it appears that you can take your knowledge with you.)

A truer statement might be, “He who spends the most time working to buy toys has little time to play with them.”

When considering buying something, think about how long you have to work to pay for it, remembering to consider that usually the purchase is with after-tax income. Then you can decide if you are willing to give that much of your life to having it.

“Watch out what you wish for, you may get it.” As we evolve and gain more powerful consciousness, our desires are more likely to be fulfilled, and that saying becomes more likely. There is one school of thought that says if you are trying to manifest something that you be very specific. This implies that you have the foresight to see all of the consequences of having your wish fulfilled.

Many tales have someone who is grated a wish, gets the wish, but they left something out in their request that then has unfortunate consequences. It is far better to ask for the broader thing as deemed in your highest and best interest by the Creator of All That Is.

You can wish for particular traits in a mate. Those traits may be there, but others equally important may be missing. A broader request is for “a perfect husband (or wife) of God.” That request allows the Creator to provide all that things that make for a perfect mate.

When you are looking for things to increase the flow of supply, you will probably have several things to consider. They will usually have different costs and time to implement. Make a list of all the things you are considering doing. If you can dowse, check for what percentage each thing will improve the flow of supply. Then you can calculate the cost of each percentage point of change both in time and money. Sometimes a cheap change can bring significant benefit.

One of the fun ways to decide what to put your attention on for changing finances and supply is to make a large list of possible things to do. Make two separate lists. One for changes to make in your environment and one for things you can do business wise.

The environment list can include things like which door you use, where you sleep and where your head is while sleeping, removing clutter from particular areas, covering particular windows after sundown, adding or removing an object, changing colors, and putting out feng shui corrections. This is when to remember little intuitions you have had about making a particular change. Be sure and list anything that has passed through your mind recently. If there are several areas with clutter, then list each one.

Once you have your lists, make two columns to the left of the items. The first column is for what is the highest priority for bringing in more than sufficient finances and supply. The second column is for what is most important in terms of keeping finances and supply from flowing out.

If you can dowse, slowly move one finger down the list without looking at the list. Have the intension of getting a reverse indicator for the highest priority for bringing in more than sufficient finances and supply. Thus you will get a “no” as your finger moves past the highest priority item. Write a 1 by that item in the first column.

Then ask for what is the next highest priority. Do this until you have about ten items numbered. Sometimes an item may repeat, say 1 and 7. That means it needs some attention as number 1 and will require more later on as number 7.

Then dowse for the highest priority item to keep finances and supply from flowing out. Write these numbers in the second column. This list will probably be shorter, 4-5 items. Do this for both the environment and for business activities lists. It is fun to see what items show up and in what order. It is also interesting to see what items are not high priority.

In times of inflation it can be good to stockpile items that keep, such as canned food and toilet paper. Unfortunately, gas and diesel fuel deteriorate with time and most people do not have a place to store it anyway.

It appears the food companies are trying to trick us about how much things really cost. Not only is the price going up for the item, but they are managing to design containers that hold less but appear to be the same. One of the good things about trying to find ways to cut down on costs is that those cost cutting habits then stay with you even if prices lower in the future or when your supply increases.

Recently the technique for increasing the purity of something came up for use with bringing in wealth, sufficient finances, and supply. You hook into the Creator of All That Is and then make the following request: “Creator of all That Is, for ____________ (names of persons to affect) bless the purity of ______________________________. I  love it, appreciate it, thank it and bless it for its gifts and qualities. Creator of All That Is, multiply this blessing for the number of times as is appropriate and in my highest and best interest as deemed only by Thee. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is done, it is done, it is done.”

Do this three times, first for the purity of "my intention about wealth, sufficient finances and supply," second for the purity of "my intuition regarding wealth, sufficient finances and supply," and third for the purity of "my ability to love my wealth, sufficient finances and supply." As usual, you can expand the wording to include others that you have permission to do work on. Adjust italicized pronouns as appropriate.

Vows of poverty, whether in this life or some other time, can definitely affect the manifestation of sufficient supply. It is possible to ask the Creator of All that Is to break all of the vows except those in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator. Due to possible booby traps associated with breaking of any vow, it is best to do this with the help of a Phoenix Vibrational Apprentice.

Our power to manifest desires increases as we develop spiritually. Then it becomes very important to be careful of what we put our attention on and the language we use when thinking about things. Put your attention on what you want instead of what you want to avoid.

“My cancer will not come back” is a statement of avoidance and contains a negative. The universal manifestation mechanism does not process the not. It hears “My cancer will come back.” A good phrase would be "all my cells are multiplying and duplicating appropriately as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is."

There is one school of thought that says that you should be a specific as possible when making a request. The problem with that system is that is assumes you know what is best. You can get results that exceed what you can imagine by allowing the Creator to manifest what is in your highest and best interest. “Perfect supply of the Creator of all That Is” allows the Creator to be unlimited in how your request is fulfilled. You can change supply to whatever area you want to change. For example, you can put in husband, house, job, or vehicle.

There is a tendency to focus on what we do not have rather than on what we have. It is good to have goals that you are working toward. However, the trick is to see it as a goal, not as a lack.

Be open to nudges or even shoves from the Creator of All That Is.

There are those that seem to push our buttons in excess of the actual event. What to do? There are various techniques for reprogramming your reactions. One from Subliminal Dynamics has you work out an affirmation regarding the situation or event. This must be stated in the affirmative. Do not use any words like "do not" or "never" or "not." For example, "I will not get upset when by husband does ____" is phrased in the negative. Instead make a positive statement such as "My husband can do ______ and I will feel OK." Then take your right thumb and move it in an infinity symbol (sideways figure 8) about 6 inches in front of your eyes. Say the statement out loud while following your moving thumb with your eyes. Then close your eyes, keep moving your thumb and following with your eyes and keep saying the phrase out loud. Then just think the phrase while continuing the thumb and eyes movements. Repeat open and closed eyes with the left thumb. Then do with both thumbs, hands clasped together. End by saying the phrase and circling your heart three times in a clockwise direction with your right hand.

Relationships nourish our souls. Pick those you spend your time with wisely. Spend more time with those that uplift you. Remember that everyone blossoms when complimented or when they are appreciated. Thank especially those you interact with every day. It is so easy to take them for granted. It is a quirk of the human mind that we latch onto what someone has done "wrong" and forget the other twenty things they did that day that blessed our life. By verbalizing "thanks" for the good things, it helps to put the "oops" in perspective.

There are times when it is necessary to sever relationships with those that are detrimental to our progress. It is not an easy thing to do. You can ask the Creator of All that Is to determine those with whom it is not in your highest and best interest to interact. Then ask that they disremember, forget, and remove from their memory any thoughts about you except those in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is. This should keep them from calling you or stewing about you. You will probably need to do the forgiveness practice for them so that your thoughts do not reactivate the connection.

The things grow and flourish that we put our attention on. Conversely, if you want something to diminish, do not give it your attention. This is true for relationships as well as other aspects of our lives. If you find yourself thinking about an issue, past or present, where you would rather not be considering that scenario, say to yourself, " ______________ (their name). We are perfect children of God. May both our paths be blessed. Over and Out." End with the sweeping mudra (a mudra is a hand movement or position): Put palms together, pointing up, about one foot in front of your heart. Then while breathing out through the mouth and making a sh-h-h-h-oo sound, push each palm out and off to the its respective side of your body. (You are sweeping the issue away.) Each arm will end up fully extended, still in front slightly but off to the side, with the palm up in the "Stop" position.

Relationships are a part of our development process. If some person or event seems to push our buttons, then that is a sign to look for the underlying cause. Sometimes it is something in your environment. A bed or clothes from a family member, friend or previous relationship can bring that influence, even a health problem, into your current experiences. The blessing prayer can rectify some of these items. Others must just be removed from your life. Babies and young children are especially susceptible. All new and hand-me-downs items they wear or use need to be cleared.

Take the time to be still and do a meditation technique every day. This time of “pulling away” can provide a positive influence on all your relationships. It is difficult to express love when you are tired, so this time rejuvenates your love ability. Remember to allow enough time for sleep. Each night before falling asleep make this request: "Creator of All That Is, multiply my (and add names of other family members) sleep by the number of times so that I (we) wake up refreshed, rejuvenated and able to accomplish my (our) tasks with ease and joy. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is done, Its is done, It is done."

Parent Effectiveness Training talks about the importance of listening completely to someone who is complaining. Then, instead of trying to help them solve their problem, first give them feedback that you understand the issue. When a child hurts themselves, instead of saying something like "Let me kiss it and make it better," begin with "That really hurts, does not it?" or "Does your knee really hurt?" Once they know you understand the problem, then you can work on solving it. Often times, just knowing you understand how they are feeling goes a long way to settling things down and opening up the possibility of dealing with the issue.

It is unfortunate that often what we latch onto in our memories of a person are the negative experiences. Most relationships have many positive moments that could also be treasured. Even in a given day, a person may do ten things that help us, but we are hurt when they do one thing that rubs us the wrong way. What we put our attention on grows. So when we stew about behavior that we do not like, then that brings more of that behavior. When you find your mind returning to an issue, then use the phrase "Perfect child of God, I bless you on your path, over and out." For people that you know, consciously remind yourself of another action that person did that brought you joy.

In a relationship, one or both people may try to use the “miffed routine.” Getting miffed only works if you are miffed at a person who basically loves you and wants to see you happy. And yet, because they love you, they would probably try to resolve the issue even if you did not get miffed. Getting miffed can actually work against your goal. Since it is no fun to be on the receiving end of the miff routine, the person can actually dig in and be less response to resolving the issue. Also, you, as the miffed person, do not feel good while going through the miffed routine. When the miffed chemicals are circulating in your body and the defensive chemicals are circulating in their body, no intellectual resolution is possible.

So, how to break this relationship tool that actually makes both sides feel bad and accomplishes the opposite of your goal? First, both of you have to admit that the miffed routine is uncomfortable and counterproductive. Then when one person starts the miffed routine, there needs to be an agreed upon signal that indicates that it appears that this routine has started. There can be both a verbal and a nonverbal signal. A little humor in the signal is probably a good thing. Maybe something like making a sound like a train whistle, to indicate you are about to get run over. Then the miffed person has to know that 1) they will not be able to engage the other person in a discussion at this time, 2) they can make a one sentence statement of what they feel the underlying issue is, (some other time we will discuss how to make these statements), and 3) when they are not upset, then there will be a conversation about the issue (more on that procedure at another time, also).

One would think that it would be easy to understand what another person is saying and what there desires are. But, even if our understanding is close, it can often miss an important point. PET, Parent Effectiveness Training, teaches a technique the call "active listening." Basically you restate what you understand the person to be saying. Mom: "do not play any CDs before the guests arrive." Child, "Why can not I play any CDs? Do you want it to be quiet?" Mom, "I do not want any mess in that area." Child, "If I put each CD away as I use it can I play CDs?" Mom, "Yes." In this case it is the Child who is using active listening. They restate what they understand the rule to be: "Why can not I play any CDs?" and then expand it with a question about the reason for the rule. Once the understanding concern is understood, then it is possible to see if it is possible to meet the underlying concern in another way.

Husband, "When is dinner?" Wife, "In half an hour. Are you hungry?" Husband, "No - I wanted to see if I had time to go to the store." Without the expanding question the wife could feel rushed, when actually the husband was just seeing how much time there was to do something else.

When the person is expressing a feeling, the restatement of the feeling shows that you have heard what they are saying. Sometimes this is all that is needed. This is especially true for children that have just hurt themselves. Mom, "Does your knee hurt ?" Child - nods "Does it hurt really bad?" Child nods and calms down a little. Just knowing that the mom understands that it hurts calms the situation down. Otherwise, you can then work into problem solving. "Would you like a bandage?" Note that "Oh, that does not look too bad," and "Why are you crying? That is nothing," do not show that you understand what they are feeling and they will keep crying.

This is just a summary of the underlying concept. The book gives many more examples. But the goal is twofold: 1) To show the person that you have heard and accurately understand their concern. 2) Once the concern is accurately understood, then effective problem solving is possible.

In making a statement to someone about something that is bothering you, how you word the statement can make a big difference in how they respond. The goal is to express your feelings, wants or desires without having the other person(s) feel like they are being attacked, accused, or blamed. Statements containing "you" such as "When you...," "You always...," and "You never..." are focusing on them and not expressing anything about you except your judgment. Statements that begin with "I"" have a better chance of stating your needs and wants such as "I feel overwhelmed when I come home to such a mess." Note that it is easy to transform that "I" statement into the to be avoided "you" statement: "I feel overwhelmed when you make such a mess." Watch how you respond when someone uses a "you" statement when talking to you. You will realize that it does not lead to a desire to solve the problem. It makes you start defending yourself instead of making you consider how to solve the problem.

One of the big problems in relationships is that often we have not had an example of how to interact effectively. Television and movies provide very little in good guidelines for interacting and most things we see as young children are also not ideal. We recognize that to learn a sport or musical instrument requires practice, but assume interpersonal interactions will spontaneously develop on their own. Also, as one of my music teachers said, proper practice brings improvement. If you practice it wrong, it embeds the wrong instead of the right.

It may be obvious, but you cannot expect a different result if you keep doing the same behavior. When you look back on your day, consider if there was some time that another individual did not respond in a useful way when you said something. Consider what you said. Then think about other ways that you could have expressed that thought. Consider the suggestions in Things You Can Do Relationships Expressing Your Feelings. Try rephrasing it using those concepts. This then plants the seed for a new phrasing next time. Obviously, the change will not happen with just one practice session. However, it will start moving you into the realm of getting a different result because you are trying something different.

A friend reminded me of a useful technique when talking to someone about an issue or issues that you would like resolved. Remember to not have these conversations if you or they are already upset, tired or pressed for time. Begin by saying something positive about what they have done. Starting out upbeat puts positive chemicals in their body. Then address the issue, remembering to use the techniques of active listening and avoiding "you" statements (Things You Can Do Relationships Do You Understand the Issue? and Expressing Your Feelings.). The goal here is not to attack, accuse, or to determine who was "right," but to develop creative solutions. End with something positive, including thanks for their taking the time to consider your concerns.

Problem solving in relationships, like everything, works best when there are several options to choose from. After the issue or goal is defined, then do the “brainstorming” session. Have a piece of paper or board to write the ideas on. Everyone should put out possibilities. The key here is that no possibility is judged or mocked at this point. Judging turns off the creative process. Once you have a list of possibilities, then everyone can rate them as to which parts of them solve any part of the problem or goal for any of the individuals and which parts are counterproductive. Then it is good to see if any of the possibilities can be combined to take portions that work. Do not think you have to accomplish it in one brainstorming sessions. Sometimes

If you find yourself being cranky on a regular basis with someone you basically love, it could be that the underlying problem is not their behavior but some chemical imbalance in your body. It is important to try to resolve this issue before it destroys your relationships. Sometimes a blood test will reveal the imbalance. If you have access to someone who is skilled in dowsing nutritional/hormonal issues, go to see them. Sometimes you can have picked up energy from someone else when you are out and about. Most of these can be cleared by saying, “Get everyone else out of my body.” Repeat for a total of six times while using the sweeping mudra. (Hands together in pray position about 6-12” from your heart. Push hands apart, away from you and pushing to the side. Ending position has both hands palm up in the “stop” position and arms about 45 degrees to each side.) If you still feel something else is influencing you, ask a Phoenix Vibrations Apprentice to clear you of boogers. Remember that eating regularly also is a daily imperative. Running out of fuel can make any body cranky. For some people, eating sugar or lots of fruit can make them feel good immediately, but causes the body to “crash” as it wears off.

It is easy to hang onto wrongs that we perceive someone has perpetrated on us. It is sometimes humbling to think of situations from their side, and the wrongs that they feel we did to them. Generally, no situation is entirely one sided. You expect them to make exceptions for your imperfections, so you should also make exceptions for theirs. The important thing is to not let the past cloud your interactions in the present. If they are being nice to you now, accept it and complement it in some way. What is complemented tends to grow, and the relationship can start moving in a direction that will bless both of you.

Why is it that we are more irritable with people we care about than with strangers? We behave towards those around us all the time in ways that we would never consider with strangers. It is like good manners apply to strangers, but not to those we know well. One of the ways to lubricate the wheels of a relationship is by remembering to say “Thank you!” Daily life is full of little things that we do for each other and for the “family” as a whole. These tasks, like fixing dinner, doing the dishes, emptying the dish washer, and doing laundry, have to be done. When appreciated, they can be transformed into a channel to express love – both giving and receiving. Drudgery can be turned into a gift. Giving thanks for the items involved in the task also helps to transform it. The washing machine is a true blessing, as are the clothes we have to wash but which we are lucky to have to wear.

Worry about various aspects of our life from finances to family health issues is bound to affect our relationships. If you let one worry thought run though your head without counteracting it, soon there will be hundreds of worry thoughts. They can take up so much of your thinking as to interfere with your ability to do your daily tasks and it clouds all of your interactions with people. When you become aware that you are stewing about something, use the phrase "Perfect ________________ of God, over and out." Fill in the person or issue. Say the phrase three times while you circle your heart area clock-wise with your right hand. End with “Thank you, thanks you, thank you.”

Sometime you may wonder if someone is telling you the truth. It is not possible to dowse if someone is lying to you on a particular matter, but you can check their percentage level of personal integrity. Another thing to check on a person is the percentage of the glory of the Creator of All That Is that they are reflecting. This percentage can change depending on their activity. Thus you can ask what percentage they usually reflect. Then you can check on the highest percentage that they have ever reflected. Healers and spiritual teachers will often reflect more while healing or teaching. This can help you decide if you should study with that person.

The great thing about our individual freedom is that others and we can make a decision to change. Thus, there may be some person with whom you previously did not want to interact for some reason. They could start on a path of personal development that then would make interacting with them beneficial for you. So do not assume that because it is not in your best interest to interact with someone now that that will always be the case. On the other hand, people can also make decisions that lead them on a path where it is not in your best interest to go. Constant vigilance! Pay attention to your feeling which guide you to spend more or less time with an individual.

Time pressures have a huge effect on our relationships. As Mother Earth is moving towards her transition, it will seem that everything is speeding up and creating time pressures. As we have to make sure to make time for spiritual practices, we also need to make time to just be with those we love. Make that time together so it does not require you to do a lot in advance. Your friends will enjoy their time together with you much more if you are not tired and frazzled from trying to make your house perfect before they arrive.

It is easy to overwhelm someone with your opinions or beliefs about something. No one likes to be “lectured” about something they should be doing. Look for windows of opportunity to lead the discussion toward the information you feel will help them. An example of someone else who was helped by what you are suggesting is useful. Waiting until they are complaining about the issue or you notice them suffering from it is also useful. But you can only offer that which their soul is ready to receive. Having a “soul conference” with them about the issue can give the information to their soul, so that when it comes up later in conversation that they will be more receptive.

Often we except others to “read our minds” and know that they have done something to upset us. This leads to two possible misunderstandings: 1) They might be able to tell they have upset you, but could attribute it to something other than what was bugging you. 2) They might not even know that they upset you. In either case, they probably will not change their behavior in a way to correct the situation. It is best not to depend on “mind reading” if you really would like their behavior to change in the future. Use the techniques in Things You Can Do Relationships Expressing Your Feelings to express how things are affecting you.

It is easy to latch onto the things that someone does that bug you. At the end of the day consider what you have said to those you live with. How many times did you complain about their behavior? How many times did you commend them when they did something that pleased you? A person can do many things during the day that are a blessing to you and yet at the end of day you may not have even indicated to them even once that you were pleased. Yet if they do something that aggravates you, you can hold it against them for the entire rest of the day. Make a commitment to be more vocal about the things you appreciate than you are about the things that bug you. For everyone you live with and even work with, make sure that that you have expressed your appreciation for at least one thing every day.

Sometimes we find something coming out of our mouth that, when we hear it, we think, “I did not really mean for that to happen.” This can include such things as swearings like “God damn it” or even something said in jest. Our thoughts and desires do manifest. This is the time to instantly say, “Cancel, cancel, cancel.” Then do the sweeping mudra. If you do not realize until some time later that it was a statement or thought that was detrimental, then you can go back in time and cancel it. Stick your left hand with a karate chop motion to the time right after you said it. Put your right hand with a karate chop into the present. Then with will and intention move your right hand to the left until it touches your left hand. Then do the canceling routine. Always end with “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

There are times when even those that we love “get on our nerves.” Inviting their soul in to hear a relationship soul song with your soul can sooth the relationship at the soul level. You can then have the fun of seeing how this starts to transform the actual interpersonal interaction. Remember also the value of the “soul conference.” After listening to the soul song, your soul can have a discussion with their soul about some issue. Make sure that each soul gets a chance to express their needs, desires, and irritations. At the end thank them for coming, bless them on their path and say “gong song, gong song, gong song” (respectfully return). Then before entering a building or room where they are do the “9961, 9961, 9961 intensify & magnify.

If the same type of issue keeps coming up where ever you work or interact with people, then it is time to consider if the issue has at least some causes that lie within you. Vianna Stiebal in Theta Healing suggests a technique that helps go figure out what the underlying belief is. You take the situation that is causing concern and ask what will happen if that concern becomes a reality. Then you take that outcome and ask what will happen if that happens. Following the concerns back step by step to the real underlying issue. For example, one woman had a concern when she was little that if she was not good enough that she would be abandoned by her family. What would happen if she was abandoned by her family? She would die. What would happen if she died? She would go to hell because she was not good enough. So the underlying belief was that she was not good enough for God. Being good enough for the parents was a subset. See Things You Can Do Increasing Money and Supply Changing Beliefs for techniques for pulling detrimental beliefs.

It is very easy to view oneself as the injured party and to think there is nothing that you did to deserve the treatment you are receiving from someone else. But sometimes you may be ignoring that behavior in your self or even be receiving that which you earned from a previous lifetime. For example, someone could be cheating you in business. It could be that you had performed a similar deed in a previous life. In either case, whether it is “deserved” or not, it needs to be dealt with so your resentment does not percolate around in your consciousness. This resentment will lead to physical problems as well as emotional ones. Use the techniques in Soul Song Messages, especially those in Relationships and Forgiveness. Remember that self-righteous “judging” leads to “instant boomerang karma.” (See Things You Can Do Forgiveness Judgment=Instant Boomerang Karma)

There needs to be a balance between being self-reliant and being dependent in our relationships. Knowing when to ask for help and when to continue trying on your own is a gift or wisdom that you can request from the Creator of All That Is. You can ask other people for advice, but whether you should act it requires discernment on your part. If you find yourself resisting an idea, you need to ascertain whether the resistance is your common sense or whether it is a pattern of behavior that no longer benefits you. How does one make these decisions? Here are some general guidelines: 1) do not make any decisions of import when feeling upset, angry, hungry or tired. 2) See if you can find an example of someone who is following the path you are considering. Do you want the results that they are exhibiting? 3) Make sure your brain is “hooked-up.” 4) When uncertain of what to do, connect in with the Creator of All That Is, give thanks for help in similar situations in the past and ask for discernment to see the action that is in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator. Ask your eyes and mind to be open to answers that may cross your path. Then set a limit on any future time you will spend analyzing the problem. When your mind drifts to that problem at other times, say, “I am open to the perfect solution. Thank you Creator of All That Is. Over and out.”

Sometimes it is possible to work yourself into a thither about something someone did where your underlying premise about what they did was incorrect. Whenever possible, it is good to ask directly to verify your understanding. It can be as simple as, “Why did you do that?” or “Why don’t you want me to do that?” or “Did you __________?” It is especially embarrassing to fly off the handle only to discover that you were upset about a non-event. But it will happen to everyone sometime! So when it does, take note that your upset was needless, maybe even appreciate the humor of it, apologize (if appropriate), and see it as a lesson from the universe about keeping your head – at least until you know all the particulars.

There are things that happen in relationships that cause people to avoid seeing each other in the future. That can sometimes be wise or sometimes it can be an extreme reaction for a minor infraction. In either case, any resentment that you continue to harbor will affect your health and mental happiness. Even if you do not ever want to resume interactions with the person, you need to do the forgiveness techniques so your body and mind can be healthy and happy. It is sometimes useful to describe the situation to a disinterested party and get their take on it. Though it is important to remember that you will probably tilt the description in a way that favors you. You also can only describe the events that you were present at and from your viewpoint. Even so, they may have an insight that will help you see the situation differently. If you discover that when you tell a person something that they tend to fan your resentment, then you need to find someone else to use as a sounding board.

There are times when it helps to let those you love know that you appreciate them. Those times should be in proportion to how often you interact with them. Those that you see every day need to hear or feel something each day that shows appreciation of something that they do. It can be as simple as a smile and hug when you notice that they took out the garbage. It should also be in proportion to the amount you criticize them - compliments should out number complaints by at least ten to one. Remember to avoid the "you" statements when stating your issues.

Relationships are a window through which we can see our inner state. When someone is able to "push our buttons" in some area, then that is a chance to consider the source of the button and if it is a useful button that accurately reflects the seriousness of the cause. Does your response do anything to 1) make the situation better, 2) make the other person feel better or express their needs, 3) make you feel better, or 4) express your needs without calling names or casting blame? While your button is being pushed, you will not be able to consider these questions. But later on, when you are not upset, consider these four points. Then in your mind play out different responses that begin to address each of the points. Be creative, keep a sense of humor, and see it as a game that cannot be won easily but has infinite possibilities and is very satisfying to solve.

Sometimes a person can become “arrested in time” in their emotional development. Some traumatic event happens that makes one become “locked” at that time. Phoenix Vibrational Healing™ has techniques that help free one from this situation. Once this situation has been identified, one thing that can help is to move the emotional body into the present.

With intention, karate chop with the left hand on the left side of your body into the time when the emotional development was arrested. Then karate chop in front of the center of the body into the present with the right hand. On the out breath through the mouth, move the left hand slowly over until it touches the right hand. When you confirm that the emotional body is in the present time, then lock it in with the locking mudra: Hands one foot apart in front of you with fingers slightly curved (like a claw). Move the hands together until the hands are clasped with the fingers interlocking. Then while saying the word “Lock,” flatten the palms and rotate the hands 90 degrees in opposite directions. One set of fingers will be pointing towards your chest and the other set of fingers will be pointing away from you.

You can do this for yourself or for another person, if you have their permission. When doing it for another person, you would say their full given name when doing the two karate chops into time

Relationships have the ability to bless our lives or turn them into a daily emotional drama. If there is more drama in your life than you would like, you might consider: Does some part of you enjoy being able to tell others about your life’s problems? Keep a record of what you tell your friends or clients about for a couple of days. Rate them on a scale of 1 to 10 between whether it is about some problem you are having or about some thing that is going really well. If it is mostly about problems, then you may be getting some emotional benefit from having a problem.

Put yourself on a “don’t talk about problems” diet. Keep the problem description to a minimum and talk mainly about positive things in your life. For example, “I’m still working on the issues with my mother, but did I tell about the great course I took last weekend?” Friends can help you see problems differently, but don’t use them just as problem solvers or someone to listen to your drama. Always remember – what you put your attention on is what manifests in your life.

It is very easy to complain when someone close does something that we do not like. However, they can do twenty things throughout the day that bless us and we never comment on it or thank them. Just for fun, keep a scorecard for a couple of days. Make two columns – one for complaints and one for compliments and thanks. See how you do. Better yet – have the other person keep score for you.

It is easy to say that humor is the essential lubricant for a healthy relationship, but how do you insert humor into your daily interactions? As with most things, there is not just one ingredient for success. 1. Diet should not be overlooked: a) be sure and eat regularly as hunger leads to irritability, b) take a biotin supplement as low biotin makes little things seem irritating, c) never eat just carbohydrates (sugars and grains) as they wear off fairly quickly and leave you no support emotionally – include protein and something live whenever you eat. 2. Make sure you get enough rest, both sleep and the deeper rest provided by meditation. A person who is tired will not see the humor in anything. 3. Plan things so you are not constantly rushing from one deadline to another deadline. (They are called DEADlines…) It is hard to see the humor in anything when you are rushing or feel under pressure. 4. Every day look for something funny in an email, the news or what you see. Then make a point of telling someone about it. 5. Make a commitment to take even 10 minutes a day to listen to, see or do something that brings you joy. Then before bed, give a special thanks for that time.

Thus the best thing you can do to help children, since in the long run they will determine their own life, is help them learn the tools to navigate in this world.

One of the problems with movies and TV is that they show relationships that never happen in real life. Then we tend to judge the relationship we are in against this fictional one that we have seen. Even worse, most relationships we see just show the beginning and nothing about how the relationship works over time. Even when we see real life relationships, most of the time we just see what they show to the world, not what actually goes on as they solve life’s problems, whether effectively or ineffectively.

Here is a possible set of guidelines for addressing an issue in a relationship. First define the issue. Look for the underlying issue – not just the surface manifestation. (See Year 1 Relationships 28 for hints on how to word your statement of the issue.) Second, look at possible solutions. Recognize that what you are currently doing is not working. Brainstorm, write them down, and do not judge while brainstorming. This can be a several day process – let your minds work on it in the background for a while. It is useful to put out truly outrageous solutions. Take a solution to its extreme in each direction. (One woman found that her new husband did not keep the bathroom the way she liked to see it. Solution – separate bathrooms.) Third, try one of the ideas, knowing that it is a trial and the results will need to be rated by each person. Fourth, review the results. You are working for a “win-win” solution, not a winner-loser solution. If not satisfactory to each person, then repeat the whole process. Needless to say, it is much better to bring up an issue when it starts to bug someone rather that “endure” it for six months and then explode. Having this tool for looking at issues will help you start to address things before they become daily aggravations.

I was reminded this week that when brainstorming for possible solutions that no idea should be rated as it is given. It is easy to understand that you do not want to give negative feedback, but the statement “That’s a great idea!” can shut down the flow of ideas as the issue might be seen as solved. Another idea I heard about was to limit the time of the brainstorming session so that the ideas come fast and furious. Everyone can write done as many ideas as they have in five minutes. You do not have to write out the full idea – just enough words to jog your mind about the concept. Then each idea is read out. After considering all the ideas for a while, if you have not come up with something everyone is willing to try, then have another brainstorming session. This session can happen right away or even the next day or week. Allow the universe time to provide you with other ideas.

Couples or friends that have interacted a lot tend to fall in a groove of one person making a decision for particular circumstances. These can be from what clothes to buy or wear to what restaurant to go to or which movie to watch. It may be that the other person truly does not care about that event and actually prefers not having to think about it. But sometimes it is just that one has gotten in the habit of letting the other person have their way in particular things, however the one allowing this to happen may actually have some preferences that never get manifested. So, if you are the one getting to make the decision, it is fun to ask every once in a while, “What would you like?”

It is easy to bring the responses from a previous relationship into a new relationship. These reactions to events can even come from patterns developed as a child. If someone tells you that you are over reacting, it probably means that the strength of your response is not just from the current event. How does one free oneself from these previous conditioners?

Both in law and in interpersonal relationships there is a penalty for not telling the truth. In law, sometimes the only charge that ends up sticking is lying while under oath. In interpersonal relationships, the untruthfulness often hurts more than the actual action that was being covered up. It erodes at the underlying trust in the relationship. On the other hand, if one flies off the handle at the truth teller when they say what actually happened, then the truth teller will be less likely to be forthright in the future. If a child admits to doing something and you start yelling at him, he will tend not be so truthful in the future. A better response might be, “Thank you for telling me what happened. How can we avoid this in the future?” Maharishi Mahesh Yogi said it was important to tell the “sweet truth.” Instead of saying, “You look awful in that color!” you might say, “I think you look better in that blue outfit.” If the intent is to be mean or hurt someone with the truth or not care whether it hurts while self-righteously thinking, “I was only telling the truth,” then there is a detrimental effect on both parties.

Money concerns can affect relationships. With couples, there needs to be an agreement about how much of the communal funds gets allocated to various areas. Depending on how much money there is, these breakdowns can be to $1, $10 or $100. In the 50’s, money was so tight for my parents that they budgeted down to a dime.

There also needs to be an agreement on how much debt, if any, to incur. Off course, the less debt there is, the better it is. I love hearing the program where families get on line together and shout, “We’re debt free!” Debt usually involves paying interest. We look for a bargain, then charge it, pay interest and end up paying much more. Before buying something on time, figure out what your actual final cost will be. Is it still a bargain and still worth it? Teach your children how to make this important calculation.

Even starting with good intentions, it is possible to lock yourself into detrimental behavior patterns with someone you interact with regularly. Basically, we train each other like Pavlov trained the dogs to salivate when a bell rang. One party gets upset. The other tries to mollify them. The first party learns that if they get upset, they can influence the other person's behavior. Then they find that they have to get more upset in order to get the response they want. The mollifying party is then locked in this cycle of having to constantly try to "fix" whatever is the cause of the upset. The irony is that this often works only if the second party basically loves the first party and wants to see them be happy. See Things You Can Do Relationships Ending the Miffed Routine for a technique for breaking this pattern. This pattern can also become established if the second party is afraid of the first party and tries to mollify the first party to avoid punishment. This is a much more difficult issue to solve as the person in "power" has to be open to the idea that there are ways to interact other than threats and violence. If they are willing to learn other problem solving patterns, the techniques in Things You Can Do Relationships may be of help. In cases of domestic violence, the only solution may be to end the relationship.

Sometimes we let people lean on us for things, and think that we are doing them a favor. But by depending of you instead of learning to do it themselves, they miss the opportunity to blossom into their fullness. Letting them do things on their own has two blessings. One blessing is for you, as you no longer have that responsibility and drain on your time. One blessing is for them, as they become self sufficient and less dependent.

If you find yourself resenting having to continually do something for a friend or family member, it might be time to consider weaning them from their dependency. It will be a gift to both of you. Before discussing it with them in person, invite their soul in to listen to the soul song and have a soul conference with them.

If you want more of something in a relationship, then whenever a little of that characteristic is expressed you need to show your appreciation for it. If it is never expressed, you could plant the seed gently. For example, “Look at those lovely flowers! I like receiving flowers – why don’t you surprise me sometime?” That is much better than expecting them to be a mind reader and not giving them a clue about your likes and dislikes. You should never expect that one person will be able to fulfill your needs in all areas. That is the value of having friends with different interests.

It is so easy to over commit on our time. There are several ways to get more time – some are more useful than others. Cutting back on sleep is the least productive. Then you are tired and less efficient at the things you do and also more likely to get sick.

Look for things that only take a little time here and there such as reading the paper or things on the internet, talking on the phone, and watching something on TV. There may be other things you would like to get done so you could scale back on the extraneous stuff.

Taking time for your spiritual practice which refreshes you can actually can make you more efficient and healthier. You will actually gain time as you won’t take up time worrying about things, trying to unwind, or being sick.

It is good to plan for some “fun” time. However, it is possible to enjoy yourself whatever you are doing. One good affirmation is “I enjoy whatever I do.” Say it three times while circling your heart clock wise with your right hand (clockwise goes UP on the right side).

It is easy to become so attached to a physical object or the way a room looks that it takes precedent over the feelings of a person who uses them. If the object is damaged or the room is messed up, then the person who caused the problem often receives a reprimand in some form that makes them feel bad. Or someone who has lived alone will steer away from a new relationship because it will mean having someone else’s things in “their” space. Any lack of flexibility needs to be dealt with as part of your overall development. Techniques that dissolve stress will often make one more flexible. If there is someone who regularly seems to trigger these issues in you or who you cause such a reaction in them, then a soul conference and forgiveness technique may help smooth things over. The affirmation “Let me (us) see the humor in everything” can also bring a little “lightness” to your life’s situations. (Say it 3 times while circles the heart clockwise with the right hand. Then end with “Integrate, integrate, integrate, this affirmation into my body, mind field complex when ever, wherever and on all levels . Anchor, lock seal.”)

It is odd that we sometimes treat the person we live with in a rude manner that we would never use with a stranger or friend. It is as though being close is seen as giving a license to be rude. In actual fact, it is even more important to be “polite” to those we interact with regularly. At the end of the day look back. Did you say “thank you” to each person that you live with for something they did? Did you compliment them on something that they did well or that you appreciated having done? If not, make an effort to do it at least twice the next day. Gradually it will become a habit that will bless you and your home.

Because tiredness naturally has a detrimental affect on any relationship, it is vital to try to plan for enough sleep. However, life does not always go along with our plans, so we are lucky to have the “multiply my sleep” technique. You should do it every night – even those where you think you will get enough sleep. “Creator of All That Is, multiply my and ____________ (add names of other family members) sleep by the number of times so that I (we) wake up refreshed, rejuvenated and able to accomplish my (our) tasks with ease and joy and to serve Thee with gladness. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is done, it is done, it is done.”

Not every person has the same talents. That may seem obvious, but we often expect the same things from one person that another person had. Some people are good at cars, others are good at computers, and a few are good at both. Some people are good at fixing things around the house, while others have no clue. It is good to know not only what other people’s strengths are, but also what yours are. Then plan things that draw on each other’s strengths. Complementing the strong areas can build self confidence, so a person may try something new. But do not berate them or yourself for not being competent in all areas.

Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) emphasizes the importance of “active listening.” When someone expresses a concern, our usual first response is to try to supply an answer. Instead, the first response should be to make sure you understand the actual concern. The husband asks when dinner will be ready. The wife could then start feeling anxious about it not being ready “on time.” A question will often clarify the need. “Are you hungry?” Husband, “No, I wondered if I had time to get something out of the shop.” Sometimes, just asking the clarifying question will let the person know you have heard their need. The child falls, bumps into the table, and then starts crying. A typical response is often a kiss or a hug and “There there, it’s ok.” A question can often settle things down much quicker. You, “Does it hurt?” Child, “Yes.” You, “Where does it hurt?” This sequence will often bring the crying to an end. The child just wants it to be known that it hurt. I had a child completely stop crying through this technique once. The mother arrived and instantly the child started crying again. The child wanted the mother to know that it had been hurt.

Sometimes when a person’s behavior changes it is because they are being psychically attacked. If someone you love begins behaving differently, then have a Phoenix Vibrational Healing™ Practitioner check into the underlying cause. The sooner you catch it the better. Often we tend to think it will get better on its own and we try to wait it out. These things are best dealt with sooner rather than later. Light workers will often either be attacked themselves or someone close to them will be targeted. That is why it is especially important to do the protection prayer request.

There is a famous series of books where each book describes the same events, but from the view point of a different character. You think you understand everything after reading the first book. However, each successive book reveals another side and expands your vision of what was going on.

Interpersonal conflicts often occur from seeing an event from an entirely different viewpoint. What makes the situation even more difficult is that our memory of an event is distorted somewhat by the way our brain processes and stores memories. Then there is the question of whether our response is in line with the supposed offense.

You think someone made a pass at your spouse. Do you see the person again? If you think they are in no way attractive to your spouse, then it can become a joke between the two of you to see if any more overtures are made.

If you think there is an actual possibility your spouse might be interested, then you have other issues to address in your relationship that probably have nothing to do with the other person. Unless you address that issue, never seeing that person will not avoid the same thing happening with someone else.

If you are trying to make a change in your life such as losing weight or starting an exercise program, you are much more likely to stick with it if you have someone doing the program with you. Check with your circle of friends and see who else is interested in making changes in the same area. It will be a blessing to both of you. With the internet, you do not even have to be in the same city to support each other.

When you are feeling under pressure to get things done, it helps to look at each of the things and see if they need to be done instantly. Sometimes you are rushing to meet a deadline that is only there because you yourself made the deadline. By separating the list into “must be done” and “I’d like to get this done,” you can direct your attention first to the “must” list. It is easy to do the “I’d like” list first and then you are up against the wall with the “must” list. This discussion is under relationships because feeling rushed adds problems to almost every relationship.

Sometimes when feeling rushed and pressured, you can ease the overwhelmed feeling by a couple mental tricks. For example: Are you rushing to do something you really want to do? Then you can remind yourself that you really want to be where you are going and give thanks that you can go there. Does where you are going provide work that supports your needs? Then give thanks that you have work. Are you going to get something that you want or need? Then give thanks for the things that fulfill your needs and for the supply that allows you to get them. Saying the thanks out loud is very effective. You can even sing your thanks or speak loudly. You can do a couple of the Cosmic Commute tension relievers.

Expectations can affect whether an interaction makes us happy or irritable. It is very easy to say, “Take it as it comes, neither anticipating nor resisting change.” It is entirely different when actually engaged in activity.

One simple way to keep events or the lack of them more to your liking is to let the people know what you would like to happen. Do not depend on them to “read your mind.” If you want something special to happen on your birthday, then let the other person know.

It is interesting that we can actually increase the chances that someone will forget a special event by thinking, “You better not forget our anniversary this year!” As with prayer, somehow the “not” gets lost, and you end up sending that person, “You better forget our anniversary this year!”

Several things can help the family gatherings that many find emotionally draining.
1) If it seems appropriate, invite them in for a forgiveness blessing and soul conference before the event.
2) Pull-in your aura and subtle bodies to within 1” of your body before the event and request that they stay pulled in until you are away from everyone.
3) After the event, do the sweeping mudra (a mudra is a hand movement or position): Put palms together, fingers pointing up, about one foot in front of your heart. Then while breathing out through the mouth and making a sh-h-h-h-oo sound, push each palm out and off to the its respective side of your body. Do this while having the intention to sweep away anything negative related to the event and people who came. Each arm will end up fully extended, still in front slightly but off to the side, with the palm up in the "Stop" position. (Both 2 & 3 can be moved back in time if you forget to do them at the right time. See Things You Can Do Blessing Prayers Forget to Bless? for the technique for moving an intention in time.)
4) If you have made the commitment to be at the event, then do not stew about having to be there while you are there. Have the intention of enjoying whatever happens. However, see what you can do to make things different for the next time. Maybe plan a trip that will relieve you of having to be there. Or maybe think of some way of rewarding yourself for “doing your duty.”

Everybody likes to be told that something they did was appreciated. It can even be something that they do not do that you appreciate. So make it a point to thank the people that you live with each day for something that you appreciate about their actions that day.

You can also thank the objects in your life that make you life easier, such as your car and the washing machine. And don’t forget to thank yourself for the things you did that bless you, even for the ability to do your tasks.

Good communication underpins every good relationship. Recently my husband and I noticed that several times a day one of us would misunderstand what the other intended. This is so out of character with our relationship that we looked at each other and had the simultaneous thought: Mercury must be in retrograde. However even the days leading up to it can also bring inconsistencies in conversations. Mercury goes into retrograde about three times a year. It actually pays to mark a calendar for the year so you know when to be on the alert. Then everyone should be especially careful in the next few weeks to double check what the other person means. A good reference is at www.findyourfate.com They have a calendar for each year.

Since mis-communications increase when Mercury is in retrograde, it is good to double check instructions and plans to make sure that all parties agree on what has been agreed upon. Be sure to back up your computer files more often, as odd things may happen to electronic communications.

This is a time to focus on things that you have had a hard time completing. It is like the apparent movement of Mercury backward is giving you a chance to go back and complete things. So as with all things physical, understanding the pluses and minuses can help you deal with them and maybe even see the humor in situations where communications have obviously broken down.

We often like to think that we can take care of everything our self. While that may be true, it is also true that often we are more powerful working in combination with one or more others. Each person can provide an area that they excel at and then there is the synergy of bouncing ideas off each other. In a recent Nova program it was interesting to see how often there was a team of two or three people that together published a paper. Quite often the team is much more powerful and effective than each of the individuals. The Beatles never achieved individually what they had accomplished together. It is good to remember that each person of the team has value and needs to be appreciated.

It is very easy when one is tired or sick to become cranky and short tempered with our loved ones. It is one of the odd things about close relationships that some how the closeness allows one to be rude in a way that one would never be to a stranger.

It requires a firmness with oneself to not fall into the trap of snapping at a loved one when in reality it is our own body and emotions that are responding to inner tiredness or sickness. It helps to say out loud to a loved one what your body is feeling and that you are feeling irritable. Then you also may be able to suggest something that they can do to help you feel better.

It is easy to respond to a person’s statement about a problem by offering a solution. But before the solution stage is reached, it is good to practice the Active Listening Technique of Parent Effectiveness Training in Things You Can Do Relationships Do You Understand the Issue? Restate what you think the person was trying to express. Usually you will have part of it, but not all of it. Sometimes you can completely miss the mark. So offering a solution when the problem is not clearly defined is not useful. Often times, the person just needs to know that someone understands their predicament. Then they are able to come up with possible solutions themselves.

It gives a great freedom to a relationship if both parties know that it is ok to make a mistake. Since none of us can be perfect all the time, trying to not make a mistake makes all of one’s actions constrained. It is easy to latch on the one thing that someone did wrong out of a whole weekend. Then instead of remembering all the things they did for you that you appreciated, you latch onto one thing that was not perfect. Soon, instead of being spontaneous, one hesitates to consider if their action is going to unintentionally offend the other person in some way.

It brings much more joy into both of your lives if instead you mention every day something that you appreciated that they did. What is appreciated will be repeated. Soon you will find that they are doing more and more things that you appreciate.

When someone you know starts being cranky, sometimes they can have taken on the energy of other people. It can come from objects in stores when shopping or from interacting with others or even being near them. There are two techniques that you can use on yourself or your friends.

The first is a variation of the “Get myself back in this body” grounding technique. This time you say, “Get everyone else out of _____________’s body.” (If for yourself, “…out of my body.”) Say six times, each time emphasizing another word or phrase.

The second is the sweeping mudra. With the intention of sweeping away anything that does not belong to them (or yourself), put your hands together in prayer position a few inches in front of your heart. Then on the out breath, push the hands out and to the side. Do the techniques in this order. First you are getting them out and then sweeping them away.

When we love someone, it is sometimes hard when we feel like we are being criticized by them. Then we get defensive and things deteriorate from there. These situations can often be defused if one of the parties stays steady instead of emotional. If you find yourself reacting defensively or angrily when another person says something, there is a re-programming technique that can help. It was explained in Things You Can Do Relationships Reprogramming Your Reaction.

When you find yourself getting angry with someone you love, it is good to step back and see if most of the problem lies with the other person’s actions or if there are contributing factors. This is especially true when your response is stronger than the actual behavior of the other person would seem to warrant.

The contributing factors can be anything from hormonal changes, running out of food, being tired, taking on another person’s emotions, lingering resentment from previous events, or actual attack from another being. It can even be a combination of factors. Once you figure out what the contributing factors are, then you can take steps to prevent them in the future and also offer a little apology to the person you over responded to. Several techniques are in Things You Can Do Relationships When Someone Irks You.

We sometimes have thoughts or speak words that we do not want to manifest. This can be a simple as swearing, “Damn…….,” to voicing some concern about a particular negative thing happening. Our thoughts and words create little vortices that draw in the energy to manifest them. If you catch yourself thinking or saying something you do not want to manifest, then say “Cancel, cancel, cancel” with the intention to dissolve that thought form.

If you do not become aware of it until latter, you can move the intention to cancel back in time. Make a karate chop thinking about the time right after you said or thought what you want to cancel. Hold your left hand there and karate chop with the right hand into the present moment. Then after moving your right hand over until it touches the left palm, say, “Cancel, cancel, cancel.”

Movies and books give a very distorted view of relationships. Since the daily mundane interactions of life are not very exciting, they are not part of the story. The stories never talk about how you resolve who will take out the trash. Then there are the chemicals one’s body makes when falling in love. It turns out that, like most addictive chemicals, your body becomes used to them and after about three years, they no longer have the “I am madly in love” result.

So when the “I am madly in love” chemicals wear off, do not think it is due to a flaw in you or your loved one. Every physical body will become resistant to those chemicals. However, there are other chemicals that are produced in long term relationships, like those made while cuddling, that are very satisfying on an emotional level. They just are not “exciting” like that of new love chemicals that are the heart of movies and books.

We should not expect even those who love us dearly to be able to read our minds. The simplest solution is to tell them what you want or need. For example, “I would appreciate some help with the garbage on trash pick-up day.” If the situation does not allow an out right statement, then indicate appreciation when they do something in the direction you desire. Or if you see someone else exhibiting the behavior you want, you could comment on it in a positive way.

It is always good to indicate your preferences early on. If you wait several weeks or months or even years before indicating that something is amiss, then your pent up resentment will usually make your request more of an accusation. Needless to say, none of us responds well when we feel accused of something. Often, when someone loves you, they will be more than happy to accommodate your wants. If they can’t for some reason, then it starts a conversation about alternative ways to meet both of your needs.

“Do you think we could try _____________ for a few days (or this coming week)?” This phrase can be a very useful tool when trying to change how you and someone else do things. Making a commitment for just a week is much easier than making a commitment for ever. The key is doing the follow-up after the trial period. All parties need to be able to express what they found good and bad about the change.

In general, it is best to start with what each person found to be good or at least neutral. Then after each person has a chance to give their positive statement, move on to having each person state any negatives. There should be no discussion during these two rounds of statements. Each person then knows that they will have a chance to speak and not be interrupted.

Then based on the feed back from all involved parties, you can discuss what was said and how well the experiment met each person’s goals, you can prune and tune the experiment, and then try the modified plan for a few days or a week. When the results are positive for all involved, then you could put off the review for a month or two.

There are times when one considers whether to continue with a relationship or to end it. I heard a lady ask Maharishi Mahesh Yogi about couples who were divorcing. She asked Maharishi to speak to all the meditating couples that were divorcing and talk about the value of staying together as a couple. (As a side note - I noticed from watching people ask Maharishi questions over the years that it was very perilous to ask a question in such a way that it was leading to the answer you wanted to hear.) He said that as people meditated that their vision became clearer. As their vision became clearer, then sometime they saw more clearly the valleys in their relationship. Other times, the mountaintops became clearer. Thus there was not one solution that fit every situation.

Certainly the tools in the Relationship section of Things You Can Do can help whether you decide to stay together or part ways. Whenever you find yourself thinking about the relationship, you can also say, "Perfect spouse (friend, neighbor, etc.) of the Creator of All That Is. Over and out!" This allows the manifestation of a change without any pre-conditions.

If you are on a spiritual path, then ideally the relationship should not hinder your spiritual growth. If it constantly puts stress in your body and/or mind in some way, then you have to see if the Things You Can Do tools can help. Physical abuse should not be tolerated either on yourself or any children.

You can always dowse for the percent benefit and percent detriment of continuing as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is. You can even check for these percentages if you change a particular thing - live somewhere else, work somewhere else, etc. You can also check for timing - now, next week, next month, next year, etc.

One of the stories to come out of the Japan tsunami involved an older man who had gotten to safety. Then he decided that he really wanted to have the picture album of his grandchildren. He went back, was caught in the flood, and his body was found clutching the picture album to his chest. His son said his Dad really loved the grandchildren but did not even have a picture of him.

When you wear, use or see something that has been given to you by someone, it can bring them to your awareness. As they come into your awareness, send them a little “Thank you!” and bless them in their day’s endeavors.

Things from people you do not want to keep in your consciousness need to be dealt with. The simplest thing is to get rid of the object. Be sure and sever any connection between you and the object by doing a karate chop and them circling the object 3 times clockwise while saying, “Bless love, bless love, bless love.”

If the object is useful and you want to keep it, then you need to do the karate chop to severe any connections to the giver and then do the blessing prayer to bring it into harmony with your consciousness. (See Things You Can Do Blessing Prayers.) When done, check to see the percent benefit and percent detriment that the object has for you and those who live in your house.

One often overlooked relationship is that with your self. What is your inner dialog with yourself? For example, are you criticizing yourself, complementing yourself, complaining about something, or worrying about something? If what you are thinking about is not what you would want to be thinking about, then you can do an affirmation technique to change it. Since you are reprogramming your thought process, it is important to program it appropriately.

The technique is to come up with the affirmation, then say it out loud three times while circling the heart clockwise with the right hand. The affirmation should be what you want. It should not include anything about what you want to avoid. If you know how to dowse or have a friend who can dowse, then dowse the percent benefit of each individual word and the phrase as a whole. Also dowse the percent detriment. Obviously, you do not want to program something in that is detrimental!

Everyday take a little time to congratulate yourself and those you live with on the things that you accomplished that day. There will always be many things that you did not get done. However if you focus on those undone things all the time, you will definitely feel overwhelmed.

It is useful at the start of the day to decide what one or two items are of high priority to get done that day. Then make sure that you do not let other little or big things sidetrack you. If you totally ignore all the little things though, they will start to pile up. Set aside some small amount of time to tackle them. It even helps to set a timer so that you commit to those 15 minutes or so, but do not let it stretch out to take time from the high priority tasks.

One of the hard things in a relationship is how to communicate what you are thinking without having the other person feel like they are being attacked or criticized. Avoiding “you” statements is one of the most effective, but it takes concerted practice. If it seems that the other person responds like they are being attacked when you make a statement, then it is time to look at how you are phrasing and emphasizing the words. When alone, play the conversation back in your mind. Probably there was a “you” statement of some sort in your statement of the problem. “You always…” Try restating the issue making a statement about your feelings, “I am feeling overwhelmed when I have to ….” Did you just make a statement or allow time for the other person to state their feelings and concerns? Because most of us did not experience non-criticizing statements when young, we do not know how to state things any other way. The only way to change is to practice. You have used the other format for years, do not expect it to change instantly or especially when you are feeling emotional. However, you can ask the people you interact with the most to help you. Make it a game – How many times did you use “you” is a conversation where you are trying to express your feelings? They can keep count and let you know when you finish talking. Set up a treat for the receiver of each “you” and even a treat for you when you make a statement without a “you.”

In most relationships there is a division of labor and responsibilities. It is easy, after a while, to just take for granted a task that the other person always does, such as doing the laundry or taking out the trash. The person who is doing the task can start to feel put-upon. Two things can help this situation: One is the obvious of expressing appreciation on a regular basis; the other is taking over the task or helping do it every once in a while. This does double duty. First it gives the usual doer a break, and second it gives the usual non-doer an appreciation of the time and effort that they are saved on a regular basis.

For those thinking about making a commitment to join in a permanent relationship, it is good to consider a few things. 1) When a person marries, they will usually not change much. Be sure that you can live with them the way they currently are. Do not expect that marriage itself or their love of you will change them.
2) If something irritates you a little now, that irritation will usually only grow over time.
3) You need to be comfortable around them both when conversing and when there are times of silence. Do you find the same things humorous?
4)How important are spiritual things to each of you? If you have differing beliefs or practices, can you do your practice and not judge them for being different? Do you feel any judgment from them about your beliefs?
5)Make sure you have similar expectations about how much debt and monthly obligations are reasonable. Will you keep your finances separate and share some expenses or put everything together?
6)Do you like what the other person brings out in you? What do you bring out in them?

It is difficult to point out that a person needs to change the way they do something without them getting their feelings hurt. With both adults and children, there can develop a hesitancy to try something for fear they won’t “do it right” in your eyes. This is especially true where the person basically wants to please you.

One of the problems we all have is that how we respond often mirrors the way our parents responded. Remember how your parents made you feel when you did not do something “right.” If you liked the way you felt, then you were lucky enough to have a good role model and you can imitate it. However, if you did not like the way you felt, then you need to work on a different way of offering suggestions. The goal is for the situation to be a learning experience instead of turning into judgment or ridicule. Use some of the tools in Things You Can Do Relationships and Children. As with all things, if you want different results, you can’t keep doing the same thing .

It is unfortunate, but you cannot dowse whether or not someone is lying to you. For example, you cannot dowse whether the used car salesman is telling you the truth about the vehicle you are thinking of buying. However, you can dowse for a person’s level of integrity in general and also for their level of integrity as regards a particular issue. They may consider themselves as having integrity, so you must indicate whose level of integrity scale you want to use. Dowse for a number that is the percentage of integrity as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is or you can even dowse for integrity as deemed by you.

Giving and receiving advice is filled with peril. Sometimes our response to advice is clouded by our emotional response to the person, either positive or negative. Teenagers are famous for rejecting advice from parents and trusting advice from peers, often to their detriment.

One way to try to separate the advice from the emotional response to the person is to pretend the advice came from someone else.

Before giving advice, it is good to ask the person what they are considering. Then you can expand on the parts where you see them going in the same direction as you think is advisable. After emphasizing the parts that you agree with, then you can touch on your other areas of concern, possibly by asking them questions that lead them to consider aspects they may not have been aware of. End with a recap of the parts where your suggestions go in the direction they were already considering.

There are exchanges of energy and time in relationships. It used to be that there were fairly fixed roles for who did what in a relationship – the wife did the laundry and dishes, the man earned the money. Now relationships have to reflect the current needs rather than a fixed, unbending pattern. Even when one person does something most of the time, it can be a blessing to both sides to have a break in the pattern. What needs to be avoided is where one person gives a disproportionate share of time and effort. This can be appropriate if there is an illness, but otherwise it is good to check with each other every couple of months and see if one side is feeling “put up on.” Sometimes it is not necessary to change who does what, but only to make sure that each person shows appreciation for what the other does.

It is best not to have reflective surfaces opposite each other so you can see one from the other. When they can be seen from each other, it can provide an entry way for unwanted influences.

You circle your right hand clockwise while saying 9961 three times. Then say "Intensify and magnify.

In Feng Shui windows let chi in during the day and let it out at night. To keep the chi in that collected during the day, windows should be covered at night. This also keeps them from acting as a mirrored surface. Mirrored surfaced that can "see" another mirrored surface can serve as portals. At night a window could reflect to a mirror. All mirrors and TV/monitor screens should be covered in the bedroom at night.

Sometimes there are items in our environment that are not beneficial. If you know how to dowse, go around and check everything in your home and office. You may be surprised at what is causing disruption to your areas. If you can not dowse, sometimes a friend or spouse can give a spontaneous response that reflects something that would be better gone. If they have never liked your buffet, maybe they sense something you choose to ignore. Negative items can sometimes be blessed and brought into resonance. Others must just be removed.

Ever wonder why someone you wish was totally out of your life seems to keep popping back in? Sometimes it is because there is still an object in your or their life that continues to link you together. With objects you have control over, you should ascertain which object(s). Then you must make the decision if you can just get rid of the object or keep it and try to clear it. Some objects can be cleared with the blessing prayer. (See Things You Can Do Blessing Prayers.) With objects that they have, you can ask the Creator of All That Is to severe any connections between you those objects. If giving away something, be sure and sever the connections to you. You can do that by circling the object three times with your right hand while saying, "Bless love, bless love, bless love." Then do a karate chop motion with your hand with the intention to sever all connections.

There is that in our environment which can nourish us or deplete us. How do you fell after having driven some place in your car? Do you find yourself getting upset with other drivers? Bless your car before driving in it with the 9961 techniques. (Circle right hand three times around the vehicle while saying 9961, then "Intensify and Magnify. Thank you Creator of All That Is.") When shopping, re-bless the vehicle and everything in it. Also re-bless your house after bringing in new items.

Greetings. Today consider the colors and objects in your home and work place. Those of you that can dowse or use a pendulum can actually check individual objects. Others can pay attention to your intuition and feelings. (e.g. I have never quite liked that there.) In feng shui, it is not just the color in general but where it is in a given room. Sometimes just moving an object to another location will make it positive. It is necessary to make these corrections every year. The Chinese year changes different than the western year, so pay attention to when the Chinese New Year is each year. Sometimes things need to be changed throughout the year. State, "Everything in this room should be here." If no, some objects may have to be removed and/or blessed. "Everything in this room is in its proper position for bringing happiness, health and success." If no - then check for what is wrong and where it should be placed. "This room has every color in it to bring happiness, health and success." If no, try bringing in other colors. The 5 elements also need to be checked: fire, wood, metal, water, air.

One of the trickiest things about our environment is knowing what to keep and what to get rid of. There are some questions you can ask that can clarify these decisions. We went over some of these questions about color and placement. But what else can we consider? Does the object hold you in the past? If you want to move to a new relationship, do not keep pictures of a previous relationship in the bedroom. Does the object make you smile? When was the last time you used the object? If you do not keep the object, could it cause some difficulty in the future? Is the object bringing someone else's karma into your environment? Can it be cleared? Be sure to clear your vibrations from anything before getting rid of it. Circle it 3 times clockwise with your right hand and say “Bless love, bless love, bless love.” Then do the sweeping mudra with the intention of sweeping away any ties to you and your family.

There are places where we feel nourished. The areas of our house where we spend our relaxation, sleeping and meal time should nourish us. Pay attention to what calms you and what causes your mind to start thinking about obligations or chores. Those things should not be visible in your eating, sleeping and relaxation areas. On the other hand, things that take your mind off the task at hand should not be in your work area.

We have so many more things than previous generations generally had. These things are stretching our consciousness, as it takes some of our consciousness to maintain any object in our environment. That is why it is important to decide which things are worth the giving of our consciousness and time. Give special consideration to those things that require regular interaction on your part.

All mirrors and TV/monitor screens should be covered in the bedroom at night. It is a good idea to invite whatever may have come out of them to return before covering them. Have the intention of them returning and use a “herding” motion with your right hand and arm. You cup your right hand, Start with it and your arm slightly behind you and then move it toward the mirror or TV. Bid them good night and then cover it.

Feng shui looks at how energy or chi flows through a house. If it can move too quickly in the front door and out a back door or window, then money and energy will flow in but leave quickly in large amounts. You should not be able to see the rear window or door from the front door. Long hall ways can also speed up chi and disrupt the energy and money flow. There should be things in the hall way to slow down the energy such as carpet and things on the wall.

Our energy patterns become impressed on the things around us. That is why previously owned objects need to be cleared before you bring them into your home or business. Even new things are impressed with energy from the people or machines that made them or sold them. Use the "9961”" code to clear objects. Things that are on your body need to be blessed and brought into resonance with you. See Things You Can Do Blessing Prayers. This, of course, does not apply to a "holy relic" or object associated with a saint. But still check that it is beneficial for you to have around. If not beneficial for you, do not clear it, but arrange for it to be somewhere that its energy will be a blessing.

You can set up your computer to repeat a soul song for the Blessing that you want to activate. You can even make a play list of all seven categories that repeats. You can also add some of Master Sha's Soul songs to the play list. Turn the volume all the way down when you are working and turn it up to play softly when you are not there or will not be disturbed by the sound. This will speed up the flow into your space of whatever blessing is played.

Remember to use the 9961 blessing before entering any building. (See Things You Can Do Blessing Prayers.) This is especially important before any medical procedure. Do the whole building and then any room you will in. It is often good to have a friend do this blessing for you, as you may not remember while being involved in procedures. You can also set it up in advance, sending the blessing before you leave home to be active where ever you will be in the building.

Fred Payne says that it is important to bless all the objects that you have on your body. This includes cell phones, wallets and jewelry. Remember that children need their clothing blessed. You can teach them the 9961 blessing for food. (See Things You Can Do Blessing Prayers.) That way, when ever they eat they can do it. This is especially important whenever we eat food out, as it carries the consciousness of those that fix it and serve it. If they are swearing about something, then the food carries that influence. Safety first with everything you eat!

Your environment should nourish your soul and your senses. The simplest test is to look at a given area of your home or business and ask, "Do I feel good when I look at this or when I sit here?" If the answer is yes – Congratulations! If no – then set aside some time every week to work on those areas. They can be a drain on your health, emotions and finances.

The direction you face while sitting and where your head is while sleeping affect your health and well being according to feng shui. Your best and worst directions are determined by your birth date. Basically there are two categories – East and West. Good East directions are North, East, Southeast and South. Good West directions or Southwest, West, Northwest and Northeast. Then within each four, there are directions for each person that are best for work and for rest. (If you do not know your feng shui East – West directions, contact Lillian.) If you know how to use a pendulum, you can also test yourself sitting and lying in various positions at home and work. Setting up your home and office so that you sit and sleep in positive directions for you can support all aspects of your life.

Sometimes there is a mirror or window arrangement that can not be changed or that you like but which causes energy problems (See Things You Can Do Harmonizing the Environment Reflective Surfaces). You can sometimes correct the problem by asking the Creator of All That Is to make an opaque surface between the reflecting surfaces. With pointy objects that are directing negative energy towards you, you can ask which element to place around it and then have the Creator encase it in that element (e.g. metal, wood, etc.). In every case where you do this, be sure to command that it be sustained and maintained. Check periodically to make sure that it is still working.

In feng shui, pointed objects direct disruptive energy in the direction of the point. This includes the pointed corner of a table or dresser. Rounded edges are not disruptive. Look at your living and work environments and see if there are pointed objects directed at you where you sleep or sit or walk. These “poison arrows” can affect your sleep, your health, money and relationships. You do not necessarily have to move or change the object. Sometimes the point or edge can be softened with a cloth or plant with leaves that hang over the edge.

Be careful of instituting changes to your environment based on a statement in a book that implies that every house or business should use the same correction. Buildings are situated differently and the individuals using them have different characteristics. Someone who knows how to dowse should check the energy level and flow before and after. It is possible to dowse “into the future” stating something like, “Show me the energy level and flow with 6 red objects here.” .

Places that you sleep temporarily, like a hotel room, should have some corrections done before you sleep there. Bless the bed to sever connections to previous occupants and bring it into harmony for you (and anyone else sleeping there). See Things You Can Do Blessing Prayers Cover the TV before sleeping. If there is a mirror facing the bed, see if something can be put over it. If there are surfaces that reflect each other, try to cover one of them.

As with everything, trust your intuitions about your environment. Pay attention to those little “angel thoughts” about the placement of things. If you have never really liked an object in a particular place, pay attention to that feeling. In Feng Shui, the placement of things can change with each New Year. Remember that the Chinese New Year is not the same date each year – it generally falls from the end of January to the beginning of February. You can make changes based on recommendations from a qualified Feng Shui practitioner or trust your intuition and dowsing. If following someone else's suggestions, always confirm the correction with dowsing or a pendulum. There are also changes that can be made monthly. So pay attention to those thoughts of “This would be better over there now.”

Like everything, your environment enjoys being appreciated and thanked. Say it out loud, so the vibrations as well as the thought go out to your environment. You can thank objects for their service – such as the refrigerator, computer and washer. You can thank things for beautifying your home and making you smile when you look at them – such as paintings and furnishings. do not forget to thank your clothes. Thank your car for a safe trip whenever you arrive at your destination. Thank your home for being there to come home to. Remember to thank the building and objects where you work.

Blinds with slates - like Venetian blinds, have sharp edges that send negative sha energy is the direction of the edge. With blinds, there are many edges, so there is a lot on sha energy being sent out. When they are closed, the edges are against the next one and are not detrimental as they are no longer a distinct edge. When open, the best is to then open the entire shade. If you can not do that, then tilt the blind so that the edges point slightly up or down (or with vertical blinds to one side or the other). The goal is to have the edges pointing somewhere other than where you will be sitting or walking.

If there is a TV in your bedroom, it is important to keep it covered except when you are actually watching it. This is especially important at night when you are sleeping.

Stairwells and hallways can cause the chi energy to speed up as it flows through the narrow space. This can disrupt the living area that the hall way ends in or, if the hall leads to an outside door or window, can take chi (and money) out of the house. The trick here is to slow down the energy flow. A throw rug on the floor or carpet with a pattern and things on the wall like pictures, books or awards can slow down the flow. If your eye is drawn to something as you go down the hall, that something also slows down the chi. Do not put in anything that makes navigating the hall difficult.

There are several techniques available for transforming the negative energy from cell phones, microwaves, computers and other electronics. I like two that are free. One web site proves a free colored holographic pattern that you print, fold over several times so you have at least four layers, and then stick on the battery of a cell phone. The site is www.freeshield.com. Another technique involves making a sacred G on the item. It can be actually written somewhere on the object or even drawn with your finger while having the intention that it remain there energetically.

All clothes, bedding and jewelry, whether new or old, need to be cleared of previous influences and brought into perfect resonance with the person who is going to use them. You can do all of your existing clothes in groups: do all those in your closet, then all those in your dresser. If you get something new and realize you forgot to bless it before wearing it, you can move the blessing back in time. With intention, put your left hand with a karate chop motion into the time right before you first used it. Put your right hand with a karate chop into the current time. Then move your right hand to the left until it touches your left palm. Now the object is back in time. Do the blessing prayer. (See Things You Can Do Blessing Prayers Blessing Objects You Use.)

There needs to be chi/energy flow in all areas of a building, be it home or office. Stagnant chi can cause problems in the flow of all blessings into your life, including health, relationships, finances and supply. Things that can help chi flow include lights, plants, mechanical motion such as a mobile or clock, sound, something that attracts your eye to that area, and people walking through the area. If there is a “dead” space created by furniture at an angle, placing a light or plant there can liven it up.

Holiday season decorations bring a smile to our faces. It is good, all year round, to have things that our eyes light upon that bring a smile to our face. It is hard to do one's whole house or business all at once, so start with your entrance – the one you actually use, not your “formal” entrance. When you walk in and out, what you see there should make you feel good in some way.

The next place in priority is where you sleep. What you see when you are getting ready to retire and first thing when you wake up should be comforting in some way. Once these areas make you feel good when you see them, continue on to do the other areas. It takes time. So treasure the areas that are done, and tell the other areas that you will also get to them.

All kinds of new things will have come into your environment from the holiday season, from gifts to food and cards. Remember to 9961 your whole house. (Harmonizing the Environment #4) You circle your right hand clockwise while saying 9961 three times. Then say "Intensify and magnify. Thank you Creator of All that Is.” Do your whole house by imagining yourself over it and encircling the whole house. Things that you are going to wear or have close to your body need to be blessed.

The following is based on Fred Payne's recommendations: First connect into the Creator of All That Is. Start behind your heart, up to the top of your head, a few feet above, then on to the Creator of All That Is, back down to where you started, down to your tail bone, into the earth a few feet, all the way to the center of the earth. Then imagine a tube of golden light going up and down this connection. If possible, have your palms on either side of the item. You can do several at once. Suggested wording is "Creator of All That Is, I am asking that you bless this ___________. Sever all connections to any other consciousnesses including person, place, owner, Creator, source, influence. Transmute any toxin or poison. Creator of All That Is bless this _______________________ and bring in into perfect resonance, rhythm, balance and harmony with all that I AM that I AM - my core, soul, DNA and history. I am asking that this be done now, so be it, we are thanking Thee, and so it is done now."

When you are cleaning something is a good time to say a little “thank you” for the fact that that object is in your environment. You can also consider if you want to keep that object in your environment. Is it worth the time and space that it takes up? Is it useful? How often? Does it make you smile to see it around? If you decide to not keep something, thank it for the time it was of service to you and separate your consciousness from it by circling the object three times with your right hand while saying, "Bless love, bless love, bless love." Then do a karate chop motion with your hand with the intention to sever all connections to you and those in your household.

With feng shui, the Chinese science and art of arranging the environment to support one's health and endeavors, it is important to make annual corrections. There are even monthly corrections that can be made. These corrections involve the placement or removal of certain objects and/or colors in the nine areas of a building. Start putting these corrections in during the month of January. Feng Shui Design Associates in Reno provides annual update information. It is also available on various web sites, though you need to verify that the updates they recommend are accurate and appropriate for your situation.

Every year in feng shui there are directions where activities in that area can cause problems. There are usually two or three problem directions. That means no moving of the earth outside your house or business on these sides or remodeling inside. If it absolutely cannot be avoided, then find an auspicious day to start the activity. These areas need a “salt water cure.” Information on how to do the salt water cure and questions and answers about it can be found on FengShuiWeb If you do not have a feng shui practitioner to consult, the site also gives more information on the other corrections for each year. Do not postpone doing these corrections.

Colors not only influence our mood, but also have an influence in how things manifest. It is important to always pay attention to your intuitions about the placement of various objects and colors. The annual and months influences can mean that you need to change something that has been there for a long time. If you have the feeling to move something, do so. If you can dowse with a pendulum, you can check your changes. Otherwise, just be very open to the subtle feelings you have about the placement of things around your home and business.

It takes a little time and commitment on your part, but it is important to open window coverings during the day to let in light and the flow of chi. Then in the evening, when it gets to be dark, they need to be covered again to keep in the chi that came in during the day. This also keeps them from being reflective surfaces that can cause problems as portals. If you have window coverings that have slats that turn, like venetian blinds, then when you open them the edge of the slats should not be directed to people. Either tilt them slightly up or down. Even better is to use the cord to move them all up or to the side. Then they become one large surface instead of the pointy surface that directs negative sha energy.

There are usually places in our home or business that tend to consistently attract clutter. Once you have cleaned the area and “reclaimed” it, see if there is some way you can change things to encourage it to stay that way. If a table collects stuff, move something to it that either does not leave room to put stuff there or looks so good that you will not want to wreck the effect by setting stuff there. Of course, you do have to make another place for that stuff. Be creative. Some places include hooks, shelves, baskets, or even the trashcan.

The opening of window coverings in the morning and covering the windows up again in the evening can become a ritual of blessing for your home and business. Upon opening, welcome in the daylight with thanks and a greeting to everything that it will touch. Then when covering them in the evening, bid the day farewell and wish a good rest to the world and the things in your environment. You can also chant a Soul Song while doing it.

It is not uncommon for people to pick a house to live in that aggravates some aspects of their life. If they haven’t dealt with those aspects before buying another house, they will again choose a house that aggravates the same issues.

Finding little ways to help you organize your things can save you time and enhance your environment. Start with a small area that seems to always accumulate clutter. Then see if there is something you can add to that area to hold and organize the things that usually end up there. Be creative about the containers. You may need one larger container that holds several smaller ones inside. Accordion files can give you many pockets to help sort things.

For those of you that know how to dowse, it is good to remember that a “yes” only means that it is over 50%. You can preface your dowse with, “This is at least 80% beneficial.” (Choose the percentage you are looking for.) Where you sit and the direction you face for various activities can bring blessings or problems in those areas.

You can check various areas of your home and business for different activities. For example: “This area is at least 80% beneficial for finances.” If yes, then check for various directions that you can face while doing the finances. You can also walk around with a pendulum with the intention: “Show me any area that is at least 90% good for finances.” It appears that these areas can change for every 15 degrees on the compass. Thus for small spaces, the areas can be quite compact and very precise.

The directions that are good for you personally to face should be consistent from building to building. However, since it is difficult to know a building's exact directions, it is always best to confirm your best directions in any building where you regularly perform activities. Each building/room also has its own good and bad areas for various activities, so you will have to ascertain the best area for a particular type of activity in that building/room.

Good energy flows into a house or business through the main door that is the entrance. Energy and light and people should be able to flow in unimpeded. It should look inviting and uncluttered. If you feel good as you first step through the door, then that is a verification that you have achieved a good entrance. If your house has more than one door you can enter by, it is good to see which makes you feel better when you use it. You can even dowse to see which works better for you and what percentage good it is. Then favor the best entrance, even if it is not quite as convenient. You should also dowse for everyone that regularly enters the building. What is good for you may not be best for someone else. It can also change from year to year, so check again every year after the Chinese New Year.

Things that you contact a lot like the rental car and the bed you sleep on should be blessed individually with the blessing prayer: Creator of All That Is, bless this bed. Severe any connection to any other creator, maker, owner, sender, projector, user or contactor. Transmute any toxins or poisons. Bless this bed. Bring it not perfect resonance, balance, vibration and harmony with all levels of my body mind field complex until I leave on _________________." If a couple, then bless it for both of you. Then when you leave separate yourself from the bed and room by circling them clockwise with your right hand while saying "bless love, bless love, bless love." Then break your connection to them with a karate chop and a sweeping mudra: hands together in prayer position, then push each palm out and to the side. You could also set up the request that throughout your trip that each thing you come into contact with is blessed with this prayer and then separated from you when you leave it. If you forget to bless something until after you have been using it for a while, do not worry. Send your blessing back in time: Karate chop your right hand into the present and your left hand to the time just before you used the object. Move your right hand left until it touches your left palm, then say the prayer.

Our homes and businesses are subject to stresses from the environment. These include geopathic stress in the earth, electromagnetic stress from electronic emissions, and stresses from water movement. There are many products that claim to help some or all of these stresses. Before you spend your money, you can dowse for effectiveness: The current level of geopathic stress is __________ in radionic units. With __________________ installed, the level of geopathic stress will be _________________ in radionic units. One of the most effective and reasonably priced are the Phoenix Vibrational Healing™ code cards which cost $20.

It was fun to hear someone talking about feng shui on one of the TV shows about building a house. They mentioned two things that we have discussed: 1) Pointy corners and edges direct negative sha energy in the direction of the point. These edges can be on furniture or part of the house structure, such as square columns. These “daggers” need to be softened. If they cannot be rounded, then a cloth or plant can mitigate the pointy energy. 2) The front door is the mouth of chi and brings energy into the house. If a window or another door is directly opposite the front door, then the chi rushes out the other side instead of meandering slowly throughout the building. Things that slow you down also slow down the chi – objects to draw your attention on the side walls, plants or objects on the side, tall objects or plants in the center that you have to go around and that block the direct view from the door our the other side.

When breaking off a relationship with someone, it is vital to clear their energy imprints and ties to you from objects that they used or that you used together. The bed should especially be cleared. Wedding rings or any stones from them also need to be cleared. Metal could be melted down and used in a new piece which should also be cleared with the blessing prayer. Gems need to sit outside in salt water through a full moon and then be blessed. The water should not be disposed of into a septic system (it stays on your property).

There are times when it is good to change things and times when they are best left alone. How do you tell when it is time to change? Always at the start of the New Year. Feng shui uses the Chinese new year. (See Things You Can Do Harmonizing the Environment.) Sometimes monthly changes are warranted. One should also check for seasonal changes at solstices & equinoxes. If anyone moves into or out of your house, you need to check for what should be changed. If things are not going well financially, if your health is deteriorating, or there is conflict in your relationships, definitely check for what needs to be changed. When you experience spiritual growth, then see if things need to be changed to support your higher vibrational rate.

Plants and objects in our environment can experience “shock, panic and trauma” when undergoing change. You can talk to them and explain what is going to happen before you do it and how it will benefit them and you. Something like, “This evening, I am going to transplant you. You will like the new pot as it will give you more room to grow.” They will also benefit from the “shock, panic and trauma” treatment. See Things You Can Do Health Shock, Panic & Trauma.

There are optimum places in your home and business for doing particular activities. These include things like sleeping, eating, working on finances, doing creative things, relaxing, and making sales. You can dowse, “Show me the optimum spot for working on finances.” Traditionally in feng shui the building is divided into 9 squares. A refinement now has each of those divided 3 times. Thus you not only want to know which room, but also which part of the room. Then you need to find the optimum direction for you to face while working on finances. If you know how to use a pendulum, stand with the pendulum in front of you and slowly rotate with the intention of which direction is best for a particular activity. This can vary by 15 degree changes. With every New Year, confirm that this is still the optimum spot and facing direction.

Directions can be very important in feng shui calculations. That is why it is important to have an accurate compass. The larger the needle the more accurate the reading will be. Compasses can be permanently damaged. Compass manufacturers give several pointers of what to avoid: 1) Anything with a magnetic field such as speakers, magnets, and some electrical equipment (especially older TVs) and electrical fields. 2) Extreme temperatures. This includes a hot car. This is because the liquid inside can start to expand and rupture the seal. It is a good idea to check your compass against a known reading before taking any crucial new reading. Temporary inaccurate readings can come from metal objects including keys, jewelry, electrical fields, mobile phones, heavy metal glasses, screws and metal table legs.

Music can bring harmony or discord into your environment. But even the sounds of voices talking bring with them an influence. That is why it is wise to be vigilant about the sounds you choose to occupy your space whether it is your car, your home, your business, or even where you go for entertainment or to shop. Try to listen to something in the car that makes you feel more upbeat when you arrive at your destination. If you do hear news that reveals a problem, which is most of the news, then use it as a tool to guide your spiritual work.

It is good to trust your intuition about what an area of your home or business needs. There are all kinds of theories and systems for optimizing your environment. The bottom line is what actually works and feels right for your situation. If something about an area "bothers" you at some level, then use that as a clue that you need to make a change there.

Be aware that what an area needs will change with time. Feng shui recommends annual corrections as well as monthly adjustments. Dowsing is a very powerful tool that can help figure out what is needed. You can state the issue something like this: "This house (room, office) supports that the flow in of money and supply to ____ %." Then dowse for the percent.

Percent dowsing is much more precise than a simple yes or no. You can use yes or no to bracket the percent. Over 50%? If no - over 25%? You will want to check for all the Ask an Angel categories as well as specific concerns that you have. These can be such things as "This room supports a good nights sleep ____ %."

Then use the techniques in Harmonizing the Environment to make changes. Be sure and dowse the support % after the change. You can even dowse how much a particular change will affect the support % before doing it: "Adding red to this area will improve the flow of money and supply by _____%." You can dowse a whole list of possible changes. This allows you to do the most effective changes first.

There is a constant interplay between trying to keep an area neat and using the area to accomplish something. One of the hardest areas to keep organized is where a project is started and either is not completed or has another phase to be done later. Soon there can be four or five of those waiting on the same table. Then they nibble at the back of our consciousness every time we see them. Thus this is not good not only from appearance but also from the disquiet in our consciousness. Since it can be overwhelming to tackle these areas, commit do a small amount of time to work on putting projects on hold in a suitable container so you will have all the parts when you do return to it. Set an alarm so you know when the time is up. This technique of limiting the time can be a great way to beat down any thing that you do not want to start because it will take more time than you have to finish it.

The internal conversions we have, which we may even voice out loud sometimes, influence our environment. If you are internally cussing and swearing, then you are actually sending negative influences to the object which you are cussing or which you are near when cussing about something else. On the other hand, if you give a little thanks for the dishes and the dishwasher when doing the dishes, that blessing will be there when you eat on those dishes. Send love to your home or business as you enter the property. Let it know that you are glad to be there and that you appreciate that the building and its comforts are there for you. You will feel the property sending its thanks back to you for taking care of it.

When leaving a place that you have stayed whether a hotel room or moving out of your home, it is good to clear any connection with you. For a house, imagine yourself above it and say, “Bless love” 3 times while circling it with your right hand. Then do the sweeping mudra with intention of sweeping away any connections to you and your family. This is also true of vehicles. With anything, before you use it, wear it or eat it, bless it with “9961” said 3 times while circling the object clockwise with your right hand. Then say “Intensify and Magnify. Thank you Creator of All That Is.”

So in summary: clear everything before you use it and break any connection to you when you are done using it.

If you forget or the event happened in the past, remember that you can move these requests back in time. State your request (blessing or clearing) and karate chop down with your right hand in front of your heart. Karate chop down with your left hand just to the left of your body thinking about when you want it to occur. Then, with intention to move the request in time, move the right hand over until it touching the unmoving left land. Grasp the hands together with interlocking fingers. Then flatten the palms while still touching each other, rotate them 180 degrees while saying "Lock!" out loud.

Our environment needs to ground us. One of the problems with high rise apartments and office buildings is that they separate us from the earth. If you are not near the earth where you live or work, www.earthing.com sells products that you can put under your chair or on your bed.

There is an opportunity now to affect the transitions that are happening on Mother Earth. Prior to doing a spiritual practice, you can invite in Mother Earth to receive a blessing as appropriate as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is. If there is a particular area experiencing upheaval, you can mention it. You can also include all beings that live in that area, the plants, the waters, and the ground. When giving thanks for things, remember to include the blessings we receive from Mother Earth and the sun.

One of the advantages of working in the garden is that it helps to ground you. A tub with Batherapy in it is also very grounding. When you do spiritual work or travel, it is important to make sure you get grounded afterward and pacify Vata. Vata is one of the three doshas from Ayurveda, the health science from India. Basically, warm things and moist things pacify Vata. Thus soups and hot tea are good to have when traveling as opposed to dry, cold foods.

While it is good to take into account various advice on the placement of things in your home and business, the bottom line is that the end result should make you feel good. Even better, it should make you smile when you walk into a room or area. Before you rearrange something, dowse as to the percent benefit and percent detriment of the new arrangement. You can check for various aspects such as relationship, finances and health. You can also check for the percent of satisfaction you will receive from the change.

The area under your bed should not have anything in it that stimulates the environment. If you must store things under the bed, then things like bedding that can be folded neatly and have little active energy associated with them are best. Tennis rackets are an example of the worse kind of things for under a bed. If you are trying to get pregnant or bring a new relationship into your life, then store nothing under the bed. For bringing in new relationships, do not have pictures of previous partners in the bedroom. Make sure any art throughout your house depicts the kind of relationship you want.

It is possible to transform any environment by filling it with love and light. Say “Hello” to all the systems and organs of your body, connect in to the Creator of All That Is, then say hello to the soul of every aspect of the building or room that you want to transform. This includes the chairs, pens, floor, windows, electronics – everything that you can see or know exists behind the walls. If you have any “Divine Downloads,” ask them to turn on. Then invite all the souls to chant with you as you walk around the entire space. You can simply chant “Divine Love” over and over or, if you know the songs that Master Sha teaches, you can chant them : “Love, Peace, & Harmony,” the soul songs of Yin Yang and Five Elements and “God Gives His Heart to Me.” Be sure to go outside the front door and to any area people will use if they are coming to your place.

There are several schools of feng shui that offer recommendations for one’s environment. Then there are also other traditions of placement from other cultures. Often times there will be conflicting advice so that one is not sure which to implement.

This is where a pendulum can be very useful. Make sure your pendulum is clear to give accurate answers. You can even use your arm hanging at your side as a pendulum.

Stand in the actual spot of the building you are checking or use the pendulum over a drawing of the building. Confirm what a yes and no is with your pendulum. Ask that you be given the answer that is in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is.

You can ask questions based on the current layout of the building and also do theoretical based on making changes to the building. For example, you could ask for the optimum location of the entrance for a couple living in the house in terms of money, in terms of health, in terms of relationships. Remember to check for how long this will be optimal. Obviously you do not usually make a huge change if it only applies for the next month.

Here is a prayer to bless your home: “Creator of All that Is bless this home. May those who live here be supported in all their endeavors, may their health flourish, and may their relationships nourish them at all levels. May those who visit be soothed in body and mind, and when they leave may they be glad that they came. May we who live here be revitalized spiritually through our self-improvement practices. May the tasks we work on here go smoothly and accomplish things as intended and as in our highest and best interests as deemed only by Thee. May all our activity here bring us closer to Thee and allow more and more of your light and love to shine through us. We are most grateful for this place to shelter us on all levels.

You have the ability to get us there, to all our errands and back home again easily, effortlessly and on time. Do a good job! Thank, thank you, thank you.” Also, remember to 9961 your vehicle regularly, especially when carrying something new: “9961, 9961, 9961 (circling clockwise with the right hand – have the intention to include your entire vehicle) intensify and magnify, Thank you Creator of All That Is.”

Also thank the Creator for allowing these things and people to be in your life. That which is appreciated multiplies.

Things can be both a blessing and an obligation. Since we have a limited amount of time, sometimes it is good to consider simplifying the parts of our environment that require attention to maintain. Some people who now are renting after having to leave their home are finding that renting has a level of freedom that they are enjoying. Owning a house entailed much more responsibility and meant less flexibility about deciding when to move or how much money to put to housing.

Today consider taking some time to mentally thank the people who have contributed to the things that support your environment. This includes such things as the garbage collector, those working at the power company, those driving trucks to transport everything that you buy, those that produce all that we use, and those who work in all the stores we buy thing from, both local and online. It is quite possible that this number is larger for each of us than at any other time on earth. This also means that every object we use has more influences than ever before. That is why it is imperative to bless everything in your environment daily with the 9961 blessings.

During the holidays many objects come into our homes as we decorate and buy gifts.

Thank you Creator of all that Is.” Then request, “Creator of All That Is send this blessing to everything in my home and car each time some object comes into it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

It is healing to have some things in your home that are whimsical and make you smile when you see them. Something that can change keeps it from getting “stale.” A friend has a white plastic Christmas tree that stays up all year, but is decorated for the current holiday, season or event.

Then it not only blessed them, but others who walked down the hall also received enjoyment from seeing what was new.

Antiques are treasured by many. Furniture, books, jewelry and weapons are often collected. Part of their value and also part of their peril lies in the consciousness of their previous owners that lingers with the object. The usual clearing/blessing prayer gets rid of these past influences. But getting rid of all the connections may not be appropriate if some of the energy is useful and beneficial to have around, as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is. That is why we added the word "detrimental" before the "consciousnesses" that we ask to be cleared. This prayer is the first prayer in Things You Can Do Blessing Prayers.

It is always difficult to figure out which things to keep and which to throw away or pass on to someone else. With clothes, putting on something that you haven’t worn in a long time can help make that decision. Just seeing how it looks on you may make the decision to move it out easy, whereas on a hanger you may go, “I still like that.“ Or even try wearing it for a while. I recently put on something and within one half hour knew that I could never wear it again. If you are ambivalent about it, ask a friend what they think. Sometimes clothes are from an earlier time and no longer fit your new self or current needs.

Work towards having everything you wear and own making you feel good when you wear them. If you are getting rid of something, be sure to break your connection with it. Use your right hand and circle it three times while saying, “Bless love, bless love, bless love.” Then do the sweeping mudra. Start with palms together in front of chest. Then push both hands out to the side and away from your body. While doing it, have the intention of sweeping away any traces of your consciousness. Do this whether giving it away or throwing it away.

The Chinese New Year varies each year but is usually the end of January or first part of February. Feng shui recommends making annual changes in your home and business to take advantage of beneficial areas and to reduce any detrimental effects in other areas. Ideally the annual corrections need to be in place by the start of the Chinese new year. Some people even think that monthly corrections are beneficial.

Lillian has taught our entire team how to make energetic feng shui corrections for each year. You can contact any of us to have your home and business done.

A web site that explains what is needed for the year and that sells individual cures and kits for each year is http://www.fengshuiweb.co.uk. You should always dowse or use a pendulum to confirm any cure for your home or office before doing it.

Bedrooms should be restful. That includes the colors and the activity done in them. If at all possible, do not work in your bedroom. Especially avoid tasks that cause pressure, anxiety or involve deadlines. All the windows should be covered when it is dark. If you like having mirrors in your bedroom, then figure out some way to cover them at night. (A shade hung on the ceiling can be pulled down.) If you must have a TV or computer in your bedroom, cover the screen when it is not in use. It is best if the flow of energy from people walking through the door does not run right into the bed. If the bed is in line with the door, some decoration placed to divert the energy can help.

There are several ways to attack areas of your home or business that have become cluttered. The “hide away” technique can give you instant order so you feel better about the area, and then you can later address the boxes that you stuffed things into.

Sometimes we do not start on an area because it seems so overwhelming. This is when the “15-30 minutes a day” technique can help you whittle it down. This allows you to start and do something every day (or whatever interval works for you), but know that after 15-30 minutes you can move onto something else. If you did the “hide away” technique, then you could commit to 15-30 minutes regularly to deal with the stuffed boxes.

The one that requires the biggest time commitment is the “get it done in one fell swoop” technique. If possible, invite in a friend or two to help you. Then their arrival will help make the event happen. You can even do an exchange where they help you with an area and then you help them on another day.

Cell phones seem to be with us all the time these days. For men, having them in a pocket near their balls has been shown to lower testosterone levels and even reduce sperm count. Even four hours a day made a reduction. In general, carrying it away from your organs is probably best.

The most sustained transmission occurs when the phone is being used for phone calls or to surf the web, but there is some there all the time. Using a speaker phone or air tube headset places the radiating antenna further from your brain. A ferrite bead on a wired headset can reduce the field on the wire. (Ferrite beads can be purchased cheaply at Radio Shack – loop the wire through the center.)

The intensity of the radiated field goes down by the square of the distance. Bluetooth is ten times weaker than the cell phone, but it is still transmitting right next to your brain. People sometimes leave the bluetooth device on their ear all of the time, so this counteracts the lower transmission levels.

Even if you are using some device that claims to protect you, you should still carry the phone away from organs and keep it away from your head and organs as much as possible when using it. The protective devices may help the subtle bodies maintain their integrity, but they do not cancel the actual radiation (or the phone would not work as a phone).

The early morning sun is seen by many older traditions as providing a subtle energy that nourishes the human spirit and buildings. In India, their system of architecture says that an east entrance is the best.

There is also the suggestion in some traditions of either greeting the rising sun or to sit facing the rising sun during the morning meditation. Since the sun rise time changes on a daily basis, it may not be possible to meditate at sunrise all the time. However, you will find that even doing it every once in a while will give you a taste of the effect and benefits.

If you are not meditating but are up, give a little greeting to welcome the sun and give thanks for the life it brings to all of us on Mother Earth. Opening the curtains to receive the early light will also bless your home.

When traditional systems of how buildings should be laid out disagree, then it is easy to become confused about what is proper and best for your specific situation. This is when using a pendulum either over the floor plan or walking through the property can provide some insight. Remember to invite in appropriate guides and nature spirits of the area to assist with the discovery process.

Set up a protocol with the pendulum where you can receive more than just a “yes” or “no” answer. Define the responses before you start. For example clockwise can be “yes” and counter clockwise “no”. You will want a response for “Ask more questions” (back & forth 12 to 6), “Not quite accurate” (back and forth 3 to 9), “We do not know.” (1:30 to 7:30), “Possibly” (10:30 to 4:30), “It does not matter.” (small counter clockwise circle), and “Good but could be better” (small motion 12 to 6).

Have a list of possible types of corrections that you can use for dowsing such as color, shape, element, cures, and directions; and then have an expanded list for each type of item. Remember that you can also dowse the percent benefit or detriment and do it for a particular person. Check to see if something needs to be moved in time.

You can bless your home or business by setting up a playlist in your computer Media Player to repeat a series of the soul songs. You can select all seven of the songs categories, or just choose ones from a particular category that you what to improve. Then put it on repeat.

When you are near the speakers, you can turn it down, but then turn it back up when you leave the room. This then gives the building the vibrations of the soul songs. If you want to listen to something else, put it on pause and then start the playlist up again when you are done.

If you have it play in your business at night, then you will receive the benefit all the next day when you are working there.

We know that you should not point a gun or even scissors at someone. However, any pointy object directs energy to where it is pointing. It is good to look are your environment and see if there are objects that are “pointing” at you where you sit, sleep or work. These pointy objects can be the corner of a table or other piece of furniture, the edge of blinds, the corner of walls or edges of open doors, light fixtures, or decorations.

The points direct “sha” energy to where they are pointing. Sha energy is known as “poisoned arrow,” “attacking” or “killing” energy in feng shui and is disruptive and unsettling.

Some ways to correct this is to move either yourself or the object (tilt the blinds), soften corners with something draped over it, or use a plant to block the edge.

Playing music that makes you want to dance while moving about your chores or bounce in your seat while driving is a blessing on many levels. It uplifts your spirits.

Just when we think that we are capable of building to take into account earthquakes and floods, we find that we were no where close to understanding or preparing. There was a sign in one of Japanese towns that was inundated by the tsunami saying that this was the beginning of the tsunami zone. The waters passed that sign by a mile. The higher tsunami refuge that had been built was also overflowed. The seawall that was to protect the city was not high enough. In Haiti, they predicted very accurately how big the quake would be several years before it happened. But buildings were not reinforced to prepare for it.

Then things are made worse by human factors. We find out that three safety engineers working with nuclear plants like the one having problems were fired over thirty years ago because they raised the issue of what would happen if power was lost.

Sometimes the problems have nothing to do with mother nature, like the cruise ship that had all of its backup generators in one place. When there was a fire, it took them all out.

In our own lives it is good to have extra food and necessities and a plan for how to contact family members. It is obvious that sometimes whatever can go wrong will go wrong. That is why it is important in these times to pay attention to any intuitions you have. It will help you to avert that danger not yet come.

There needs to be some “softness” in our environment that makes us feel nourished and comforted. Sometimes a precisely organized environment does not allow us to unwind or express our creativity.

There are ways that we arrange our environment at home and at work that can either decrease or increase how long it takes to do something. Some things are left out, easy to get to, others require bringing them out of where ever they are stored. Obviously, those things you use regularly should not require much effort or time to get to.

Since our time every day is finite, it pays to look at repetitive tasks and see if you can rearrange things so they take less steps or less effort and time. One trick is to get a package of sticky colored dots. For several weeks, put a sticky dot on every item when you use it. You can then prioritize how convenient it is to use things based on how many dots they accumulated.

In Things You Can Do Protection a technique was given for protecting yourself and your home from self righteous “do gooders” that think their prayer work or even curse is right and justified. However, when the earlier version was used, it became clear that some things were still getting through this protection request.

It appears if you invite the person into your home or business or pay them, that the wording did not exclude their intentions toward you. Thus the request was expanded to “anything that is detrimental as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is whether coming from within or without, invited in or given payment, be neutralized, deflected and/or transmuted as appropriate.”

It is difficult sometimes to find the right balance between keeping things clean and in order and having areas in your home or business support actually getting projects done. If you always focus on getting things done, then picking up is never done, and soon you are less efficient getting things done as it is harder to find things and to find a surface you can work on. On the other hand, too much time and focus on keeping things orderly can inhibit accomplishing anything other than an organized environment. It helps to set aside either 15-30 minutes a day for picking up or several hours at the end of each week or project.

When we as individuals have medical procedures done, there are Vibrational techniques that can assist. These include getting rid of the shock, panic, and trauma, sealing up auric leaks, and reconnecting severed meridians. It turns out that when a building is remodeled, it experiences problems similar to a person undergoing a medical procedure. If you are living in the building that is being remodeled, you can feel out of sorts because of building is being traumatized.

The bottom line for any changes in your home and business environment is that when it is done it should make you smile when you see it. It should also be functionally useful. A white couch in the family room is not going to encourage relaxing behavior.

Does what you see when you approach or enter the building make you happy to be there? If you are entering from the garage, then you need to treat the garage itself more like an entrance and less like a storage space or have the storage part visually separated from the part you use as an entrance.

The area around the door you actually use to enter also needs to be treated like an entrance. It is very common to have a wonderful “entrance” that is never used except for visitors and to have the usually used door come in from the garage into a utility room. Using a door “activates” that area. Make sure it is activating what you want to manifest.

The traditional teaching of feng shui about toilets is that the lid should be closed at all times except when sitting on it. It appears that this was true before the advent of modern plumbing. It still holds true that the lid should be down while flushing is going on. This is carrying stuff away from the house and you do not want good things sucked along with the bad. However, having the lid up when not in use is not necessarily a detriment. Some areas actually benefit from having fresh water sitting there. As with all things, it is good to check the percent benefit and percent detriment rather than simply following a rule.

Edges of objects direct energy in the direction of the edge. This can be a large edge, like the corner of a building, or a small edge, like the many edges of Venetian blinds. In general, this “pointy” energy is detrimental. It is best to sit without those edges pointing to you. Blinds have become very common and those edges can be over 90% detrimental. Simply tilting them a little, either upwards of downwards, lowers the detriment to around 20%, but does not totally eliminate it. Most blinds can be pulled all the way up or to the side. This then makes a much larger surface which has almost no detriment. You can also place something like a plant between you and the edge. Use the line of sight test. If you can see the edge, then it has an effect.

Somehow, our possessions seems to multiply to fill up the space we have. They may even increase more than the space. Many people have storage units to take care of the overflow. People whose houses are destroyed by some calamity have an opportunity to bring back into their life only the things that they enjoy or that benefit them in some way.

If you decide to move some items out of your life either by discarding them, selling them or giving them away, be sure and break your ties to them. You can even do this technique for items that were removed in the past by thinking of them and doing the process.

Circle the item 3 times clockwise with your right hand while saying, “Bless love, bless love, bless love.” Then do a karate chop across the front of your body with your right hand and then with your left hand. Finish with the sweeping mudra – hands in prayer position with flat palms together about 6” in front of your heart. Then with the intention of separating yourself from the item(s), with a loud out breath, push both palms away from you and out to either side.

When you have workman do something to your home or business, you will need to clear their influence from the property each day when they leave. Have the intention to sweep away their influence from the property while performing the sweeping mudra: palms together about a foot in front of your heart and breath in deeply; then with a loud out breath through the mouth, push each hand out and away and to the side with the palms ending in a “stop” to each side about shoulder height and your arms straight.

It seems obvious that you need to clear the influence of others from a used object. However, it may not seem that a new object needs to be cleared. A new object does have the imprints of others on it from the people extracting the raw materials, to the workers assembling, shipping, stocking, and selling the item. Then there is the influence from the various places where it has rested on its journey to you. There also appears to be an influence from the bar code that virtually everything has these days.

Saying “9961” three times while circling the object clockwise with the right hand (or even imagining yourself circling a large object like a house) clears most influences. Objects that you are going to wear or carry need to have the more extensive blessing prayer done. See Things You Can Do Blessing Prayers.

You come in hopes of resolving past grievances. It is a gift from the divine to you that you are forgiven. In turn you can bestow this gift on those who have harmed you. Think of the person who has injured you in some way. Invite their soul, mind and body to hear the soul song with you. Then bless them on their path. Your forgiveness allows them to depart from you. You will be amazed at how far they can travel from you instead of being tied to your resentment.

Try it with at least three people - inviting their soul, mind and body to join you in listening. Then follow the Forgiveness - Soul Conference tool in Things You Can Do.  So simple and yet so powerful. You will be able to tell the difference and offer thanks for the healing.

Blessings to you. It is by holding on to past grievances that we continue the karma from them. Forgiveness dissolves that karma and allows us to continue on our path to grow and evolve instead of being locked. The Lord's prayer emphasizes this. "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." Somehow we tend to focus on our sins being forgiven, rather than that our forgiveness is linked to forgiving others ourselves.

The phrase "I forgive you" has fallen from use. When was the last time anyone said that to you? Or when did you say it to someone else? Somehow we have fallen into a culture of "getting even" or justifying our actions because of something someone else has done. Terrorism is the extreme manifestation of this. The Hatfields and McCoys is an American example. As the laws of karma are changing with the ascension process, those of us moving on with the ascension process will find it imperative to embody the forgiveness modality rather than the get-back. Try it first while driving. When someone cuts you off, say "I bless you on your path."

Forgiveness underlies the removal of karma. Doing acts of virtue can clear karma. The divine can see these acts and erase black marks in the akashic record. That is why Jesus suggested doing good acts in secret or the praise of men would negate the karma removal benefit. Those who are forgiven much will be very grateful, which can lead to even more blessings. It is a circle of blessings. These songs are part of that circle. Enjoy.

Resentment is very devious. It gives you a feeling of self-righteousness. "How dare they do this to me?" This then justifies your negative thoughts or intentions to them. There is then a spiraling circle of darkness. Remember that your forgiveness frees you from this spiral. But do not feel that they have gotten a free ride. "Heaven is most just" and they will still have to learn their lessons. Though freed from their tie to you, they still have all their other deeds. Remember to use the steps outlined in the Soul Song Listening Instructions below. "Blessing them on their path" is very crucial.

It is possible to justify almost anything and often in the name of God. How often we forget the admonishment, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." Judgment also has an ironic way of coming back to get us. A friend calls it "instant boomerang karma." By self-righteous judging, we bring that same judgment on ourselves. Humor can dispel the illusion of righteousness. Do the affirmation "Let me see the humor in everything" three times while circling the heart clockwise with your right hand. Then say "Integrate, integrate, integrate this affirmation into my body, mind field complex. Thank you Creator of All That Is." Do this every day until you see it manifesting in your life.

Guilt can be as much of a problem as judging others. This is a judgment of our self. It is useful to learn from mistakes, but not to dwell on them. You can use the forgiveness technique for past things that you have done. Invite in the soul, mind, body of yourself at that age. (It could even be your present self, for a current issue.) Then do the forgiveness technique in the soul song Listening Instructions.

Forgiveness has gone out of vogue. We now demand reparations in lawsuits or use past transgressions against us as a justification for current bad behavior. Needless to say, neither of these help our soul's evolution. In fact, ruminating about someone that has perpetrated a wrong against you or someone you care about can bind you even after death. Perpetrators of evil go to not so nice places after death to help learn their lessons. If your thoughts are always about their bad actions, then you are stuck there with them. The forgiveness techniques allow you to move on, both in this life and the after life.

There is great freedom in letting go of the past. Our culture does not value forgiveness. It encourages getting even or bringing “justice.” If we carry out the justice, then those actions have consequences for us. Bless them on their path. Heaven is most just, they will have to bear the consequences of their deeds. You, however, do not need to make sure that they pay the price.

There comes a time when our spiritual growth requires us to move past the guilt that we feel. Often this is guilt we have taken on because of something someone else has laid on us and we accepted at some level. Besides doing the forgiveness process, our beliefs must change. Try to get to the core belief underlying the guilt feeling. Go back in time to when you first remember feeling that way and see what people around you were saying. (“You never do anything right!”) See what “conversation” you have with yourself about this issue. Theta Healing is a book that helps identify core beliefs and has a technique for transforming them. See Things You Can Do Increasing Money and Supply  "Pulling Negative Beliefs" and "Changing Beliefs."

Beliefs arise from four different levels: core, genetic, historical and soul. Core beliefs come from this lifetime and usually involve trips that were laid on us as children or even as adults. We have very little resistance as children to programming placed on us by others, especially if it reinforces a belief that is carried genetically or historically. Tradition has that genetic karma is passed down for seven generations. This turns out to be true for genetic beliefs as well. This is why it is so difficult to break out of family influences. Luckily, the Creator of All That Is is more than happy to pull and cancel these detrimental beliefs.

With the opportunity to use the forgiveness technique and soul song you can choose which events you want to continue to shadow your thoughts and consciousness and which you want to resolve and let go. Observe your thoughts. Are they about what is currently happening or are they about some event in the past? Phrases like "You always...," "Not again," "I can not trust you any more..." indicate that events in the past cloud the view of the current event. Remember that the technique works both ways. You ask them to forgive you and you forgive them.

Forgiveness is always a gift whether from the Divine to you, you to others, or others to you. As with the giving and receiving of all gifts, it is appropriate to express gratitude at the time. But to continue to tout the fact that you have forgiven someone lessens the gift and will eventually negate the forgiveness, as it keeps the issue alive in your consciousness. That is why it is important to "bless them on their path." They can leave you, and you can move on in your spiritual development.

The soul conference technique in the Soul Song Listening Instructions can be used for someone you want to forgive or whom you want to ask to forgive you. Some times we can think that something is "unforgivable," that it is ok to hold on to a particular injustice. But whatever you put your attention on, you become. So by dwelling on that wrong, it colors your entire vision of the world and holds your soul at that level of development. Forgiveness is not just a gift to the person forgiven, but it is an even bigger gift to yourself. It allows you to continue on your path rather than become locked-in and stagnant.

Jesus asked "What do you think is easier? To say to this man, your sins are forgiven or to say take up your bed and walk?"  What is interesting is that forgiveness can hold the key to healing. The two are often interlocked. If you have a health situation that seems to resist all attempts to alleviate it, you might look to see if there is resentment of some person or event that lingers in your consciousness. There are other things that can contribute to chronic issues such as beliefs, curses, and environmental toxins, but it is always good to take a look at the possible interaction of resentment or a grudge.

Grudges can come through our genes. Yes genes can transmit more than just physical characteristics. They can be about many issues involving everything including an individual, a family, a country, a sex or a race. We have expanded the wording for the request before you listen to the soul song to include this concept: "Dear soul-mind-body, genes, epigenome and history of..."

They are finding that there is a "net" that forms in the brain around a memory that locks it in. Thus people continue to respond to a stress that is no longer there, but is still locked in the memory. Mediation techniques such as TM seem to dissolve this "net" and allow the body to respond to current situations without the coloring of previous experiences that are no longer relevant. The forgiveness techniques also dissolve this "net" and allow you to be in the present rather than locked into the past. Take advantage of them.

It is good to go back and read the messages in the Things You Can Do – maybe once a month. As your consciousness expands, you will see deeper levels of the messages. Also, as your circumstances change, different parts will “speak” to you or be relevant. Forgiveness is a huge part of the healing process. It is one of the few things that can dissolve karmic debt.

If we do not get rid of our resentments in this lifetime, then they can hold up our evolution after we pass over. If the resentment is strong enough, it can even hold you wherever the person goes that you have not forgiven. Assuming that their behavior sends them to not such a nice place, then you are stuck there with them until you let go of your resentment. It is so much easier to do it now through soul song. That way you not only get the benefit after you pass over, but the rest of your life on this planet will be freed of that influence.

It is such a gift that this tool is being provided to speed up your evolution. Remember that forgiveness is a two way process. We need to invite in those that have hurt us and forgive them. But we also need to ask for their forgiveness, as we can have hurt them as well - even if unintentionally. Once you embark on the forgiveness process, you will find it a little humorous when you hear people complaining about events that happened years ago. Know it for what it is and work to eliminate those past complaints in your consciousness.

Jesus walked this planet offering teachings that transformed a religion of fear, rules and punishment to one that reflected love. Part of the Creator's love was offering forgiveness which was not offered because we deserved it, but because we were loved and cherished. However, this forgiveness is only bestowed if it is requested. Soul song enlivens the presence of the Creator in your consciousness. When you invite in a soul to listen with you and ask their forgiveness, you are not only requesting their forgiveness but also that of the Creator. The Creator then can dissolve the karma related to those actions.

Hatred or disdain can not only come from something you have experienced and not forgiven, but can also come down from ancestral and racial memories. These can be judgments on everything from religion and nationality to gender and sexual practices. Thus in your forgiveness and relationship practices, you can not only invite in a particular individual, but you could also do a session where you invite in a broader category where you sense underlying judgments and resentments.

It is useful to take time to observe the conversations you have with yourself – the little thoughts that occupy your time when not focused on a particular activity. Then decide if that is what you want to spend your time thinking about. Any repeating “replay” of a past event or how you will “get even” in the future is not useful and is usually detrimental. Using the Relationship Soul Songs and Forgiveness Soul Songs with those people and issues can change that “inner conversation.”

“Judge not that you be not judged” has a not so hidden warning. It can be seen to play out in high profile ministers and politicians who righteously condemn a particular behavior, but are then later caught doing it themselves. Judging usually also involves being unforgiving about the behavior. Thus, practicing the forgiveness techniques can save you from the boomerang karma connected with judging.

Recently we added words to the listening technique: “Dear soul, mind body, genetics and history of _________________________...” The genetic and history links can affect us in all areas but especially in forgiveness. Things that our ancestors have not forgiven come through and have repercussions for us. The Bible and other sources indicate that this goes back seven generations. If you find something irritates you, but you have not actually had a significant interaction regarding the issue, person or group, then it is quite possible that this belief or feeling comes through your ancestors or history. Luckily we have the technology to resolve these issues, what ever the source. The wording can be something like this: “Dear soul, mind, body, genetics and history of all German's and me, I love you. You have the ability to receive a healing blessing through soul song for any resentments and actions between us. Do a good job. Thank you, thank, you, thank you.” Then do the forgiveness techniques.

It is so easy to hang onto resentments. Some people encourage you to hang on to them and sometime you may serve that function for someone else. Now that you know the forgiveness techniques and the "Perfect child of God, I bless you on your path. Over & out," you have the ability to break these cycles of encouraging resentments. When others encourage continuing the resentment, acknowledge that you remember the incident, but indicate that you are dealing with it and that you do not want them to dwell on it or bring it up again. You can choose whether or not to share the techniques you are using. When others are stewing in resentments, you can use "active listening" to show that you understand the issue and their feelings. (See Things You Can Do Relationships Do You Understand the Issue?) Then either 1) do not continue the discussion or 2) share a technique for dealing with it.

If there are recurring thoughts about how someone is taking advantage of you or how you were victimized, these thoughts can make your body sick.

Thoughts of revenge or how to get even show an underlying distrust of the cosmic justice system. The Chinese say, “Heaven is most fair.” Everything is recorded and every debt must be repaid. It is not our task to make the repayment come due. Though it will happen that, as you evolve, actions against you have larger repercussions and the payment seems to come due sooner. It also works for you as well. The “instant boomerang karma” seems to bounce back to us sooner as we evolve. This is so we can learn the lesson, even smile at how the system works, and move on with our new knowledge.

Not a one of us is perfect and loving every moment of every day. Thus we need to be both forgiving of others and of ourselves. When you find yourself thinking about some grievance you have regarding a friend or relative, then do not deny it or push it under the rug. But look at the bigger picture. Have they done something for you at sometime in the past? Is there a preponderance of favorable events or unfavorable ones? Regan is being quoted now as saying that if people were with him 80% of the time, then they were not his enemy. You will have to develop the percentage that works for you to decide which people to continue seeing and which ones you do not make an effort to see. But do not expect perfection from anyone – even yourself. You will know when you are making progress when you can see the humor in situations that previously bugged you.

Recently I heard about the “unforgivable sin” which turns out to be blasphemy. I do not know if this is correct, but the concept that everything else can be forgiven leaves great hope. You can even ask forgiveness for not being forgiving. If the Creator can forgive such a wide range of our faults, then we in turn should not hang onto grievances that we are holding. We who have the opportunity to be forgiven much should not be parsimonious with our own forgiveness both to others and to ourselves. “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us” definitely links our being forgiven to our forgiving others.

The forgiveness of the Divine is usually linked with the Divine's love. “For God so loved the world...” The question then arises as to whether we must love someone to forgive them. For us, there is more an aspect of compassion rather than love. There is also a foregoing of judgment. There is also the fact that if you truly love yourself, then you will perform the techniques of forgiveness because you understand that giving up resentments is the only way that you yourself can be healthy and evolve. Another question is, if you forgive them, do you then have to interact with them? Not necessarily. You bless them on their path. That path may or may not need to cross yours. If you do interact with them, having the “glasses of resentment” removed from your eyes will ease the interaction.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son...” “Love came down at Christmas.” God did not send his son because we were perfect, but because we had the potential to reflect more and more of the glory of God. Christ gave us techniques that can speed us on our way to being able to do even greater things than he did. How is that possible? Because part of what can be done is a reflection of the beliefs of people and an acceptance that something is possible. Christ started out with people who had never experienced healing or forgiveness. Now we know it is possible and even more can be accomplished.

For the New Year we often make resolutions. So often, these resolutions last no longer than the next week. Sometimes all it takes is a scheduled “reminder” to get you back on your resolution. Today read all of the forgiveness messages in Things You Can Do. Then make a list of the people, events, nationalities, races, etc. that trigger resentments or bitterness in your consciousness when you think of them. You may find yourself adding things to your list through the year as memories come of something else or from new interactions. This year, each week on Friday do a forgiveness technique for at least one thing from your list.

There are various techniques for letting go of things like resentments or other things that use the word “release.” Fred Payne says never to use this word when you want to let go of something. If you went to a car dealer where you were leasing a car and said, “I want to release this car,” you would walk out with a renewed lease. So “release” does not get rid of things, but keeps them near you. It is much better to use phrases like “I let go of ...” or “Clear ...” or “I break and dissolve …” or “I send you on your way and bless you on your path.”

The longer you are in a relationship, the more there are things to forgive – such as “slights” or temper outbreaks or forgetting to do something. Thus when someone you have known a long time does something, you see it not as what is actually going on now, but clouded by memories of previous interactions. A person may have changed and grown in their behavior patterns, but you still react based on their immature behavior of the past. This regularly happens to parents and children, but it also happens with spouses, siblings and friends.

How does one develop the ability to see these actions based on what is going on now rather than what has occurred before? The first step is to recognize that you are having a negative emotion response. Right away you can do the clearing breath: breath in through the nose and out through the mouth while imagining the emotion moving away from you. You can even move your hands to sort of shoo it away. Then later when you have time, do a forgiveness technique for the person and those type of issues that upset you. (See Things You Can Do Forgiveness)

Jesus said, “Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.” You too can forgive those who did not realize that what they did would offend you in some way. But this raises the question about someone who knows their action will bother you and yet they still do it, or even do it because it will offend you. Ideally, we will get to the level where no matter what they do, we remain steady inside. But until we get there, remember that getting upset rewards them. (They can see they succeeded in bugging you.) At least pretend not to be bugged, as it is no fun to pick on someone who does not respond. Later you can do a forgiveness technique. It may get to the stage where you will not need the forgiveness technique, as you will have completely risen “above” their petty game.

Often times the problems that come into our lives are not due only to actions of others, but due to the need on some level for us to learn a lesson. That is why in the forgiveness techniques there is something that can be added at the end. You can thank them for the lessons that they helped you learn. If you have learned the lesson, then that issue will not manifest itself in your life again. If something like it continues to surface, then it is a notice from the universe that there is still something for you to deal with in regards to that issue.

When things do not go as we planned, it is common to resent the person or people who threw a monkey wrench into our “master plan.” It can be a company not shipping something on time or a friend canceling a planned meeting. You can stew about it or see it as part of the play of the universe to see how flexible you are. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi said, “Take it as it comes, neither anticipating nor resisting change.” A key thing here is to see if there is something you can change in the future to get a different result. It is magical thinking to keep doing the same thing and expect a different result.

A man flew his plane into an IRS office building, taking his own life as well as inflicting damage to the building and the people inside. This anger at the tax system had been growing in him over thirty years. Such a great resentment does not end when one drops the body. Can one help those who have passed over, easing their transition and helping their soul progress?

Many traditions hold that it is useful to pray for those who have passed over. Some even charge large sums of money to perform rituals purported to help.

There are some techniques from Phoenix Vibrational Healing™ that can assist. These include clearing them of unwanted influences (boogers), clearing of any curses, and freeing them from vows, pacts, promises, etc. that are no longer in their best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is.

It is very difficult to forgive someone who constantly directs negative comments and thoughts toward you or someone who has taken something from you through intention or negligence. You can, of course, do the forgiveness techniques, but you also need to protect yourself from their assault. See Things You Can Do Protection.

Perfection is not possible either in our own actions or in the actions of others. Even though someone may do 98 things right, we can find ourselves dwelling on the 1 or 2 that irritate us. We expect tolerance from others when we are forgetful, tired or sick, but often want perfection from others all the time. Sometimes we can take an action as a personal affront, when the person is just responding to another aggravation in their life. You can ask yourself some questions that may help put the situation into perspective and offer possible solutions: Were they like this all day or week? Are most of their actions helpful or neutral? Is something else worrying them or irritating them? Are they tired, hungry, or sick? Do they feel a time crunch? Do they behave this way to others or just to me? Does their life have a balance between chores and fun?

Resentments can linger for years. It seems amazing that our mind can recall so clearly someone’s behavior that aggravated us in some way. Luckily, soul healing is not limited by time. This is true for both physical issues and relationship issues. Use all of the techniques that you know including the forgiveness soul song. Do a healing for three times: 1) Direct them to the time ten minutes before the event or problem. 2) Then do it for when it was actually happening. 3) Then do it again for two weeks later or the time of best understanding. Sometimes that time can be in the future.

The concept of “no fault” divorce is that you can end a marriage without having to prove that the other person was “bad” or “at fault” in some way. This idea of “no fault” can also be applied to the ending of other relationships. It may not be beneficial for you to continue interacting with someone, but there is no need to make a list of grievances in order to justify the separation. Hanging on to those grievances will slow down your own spiritual progress. If you find grievances popping into your mind, then you know that it is time to apply some of the forgiveness techniques.

Karmic debts are a record of our service - both good and bad. Bad karma ensues from bad actions and thoughts. Their repayment consists of experiences that serve as a “lesson.” The more serious the bad action or thought, the more severe the “lesson.” However, in our karmic bank account, we can also accrue virtue for good actions and thoughts. These can be used to “pay” the bad debt. When a “lesson” comes our way, we may become aware of someone we have injured in some way. This is where the forgiveness techniques can help ease the karmic debt. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi said that the debt is always owed, but that its effect on you will change through meditation practices and life supporting actions. For example, if you owe someone $5 and you only have $10, then paying that debt is a real pinch. However, if you owe $5 and you have $10,000, you still must pay the debt, but it is not a pinch.

There has been a tradition in many religions and cults of blood sacrifice to ask for a particular result or to request forgiveness. This shows the understanding that actions bear consequences. However, to think that your actions can be atoned for by taking the life of something else is a warped understanding of an underlying truth. Life is of value. The heart and blood do provide the underlying basis of maintaining life. There is some strength that comes to you from ingesting the life essence of something else, be it vegetables or meat. That is why a giving of thanks for food before eating is beneficial. It is a great blessing from the Creator that the world we live in provides nourishment for us.

However, to perform a killing with the intention of erasing karmic debt has the opposite effect. It just increases the karmic debt. Any immediate result will have to be repaid 100 times over.

Jesus offered himself in order to demonstrate the true potential of God Consciousness. Those who killed him were not doing it to obtain anything other than a removal of his presence from this earth. But the death of his body was not the complete reality. As a manifestation of God Consciousness on earth, he could not be killed. The body of Jesus only contained a fraction of the true essence of his expanded consciousness. It is this expanded consciousness that we can now access through the ritual of communion. It is by imbibing that consciousness and then reflecting it in our lives that forgiveness takes place. The offering of ourselves to perform service, through the Christ Consciousness in us, multiplies the effect of our service and pays off our karmic debt much more quickly.

Sometimes your reaction to an individual can be much stronger than your interactions with them or their behavior warrant, either positively or negatively. These strong feeling can come from our previous interactions with them in some other time or even be racial or ancestral memories. People on opposite sides in wars or religious conflicts can still feel animosity even if they never interacted with each other personally. Once you identify a race, nationality or religion that irritates you, then invite them in the for forgiveness practice. Remember that it is a two way process – both sides usually need to ask forgiveness and well as forgive.

Memory is useful in helping us respond quickly and effectively to situations. The problem is that the memory process was developed for helping us survive in a much different environment. It also does not store a complete record of an event, but only parts that is thinks will be useful in the future. Then there is the tendency to put ourselves in a “good light” and to see the event through the colored glasses of our mind's time saving categorization process.

Most adults will see a black man in a bank waving a banana in a threatening way as holding a gun. A child will actually see that he has a banana. With friends and family our minds will always see and judge an interaction clouded by previous encounters.

Meditation can help dissolve these judgment patterns. The forgiveness techniques are also a powerful way to clear the memory banks. Phoenix Vibrational Healing™ also has “negative emotional charge” clearing techniques. The Emotional Freedom Techniques have also been helpful for people.

Forgiveness is a gift of healing to ourselves. We think that our offering forgiveness is a blessing to the one forgiven, but it mainly is a blessing to ourselves. Resentment creates areas of stress in our body. It is impossible to heal these areas until the resentment is resolved through a forgiveness technique. It even creates stress in the epigenome. The epigenome surrounds the DNA and determines which genes are activated or turned-off. Just as the epigenome can be stressed, it can also be restored to a healthy state.

Some times it is the judgments of our own behavior that need to be let go. You can do the forgiveness technique for yourself. Some times it is a behavior that does not even affect someone else. We judge our self because we have not performed up to our own expectation in some way. We need to forgive our self for not being perfect in some way. It is useful to look at the source of our self judgment. Have we adopted the expectations of a parent, friend or spouse and made it our own? Then it helps to do 1) a forgiveness technique with their soul about laying this expectation on you, 2) a forgiveness technique with your soul for a) taking on an unnecessary expectation and b) for your self judgment for not meeting the expectation, and 3) a re-programming of your self to accept imperfection.

When people are upset about something, there is a tendency to swear. “God d…. it!” or “F… it!” or similar phrases come out of people’s mouths. Things You Can Do Protection Canceling Words gives techniques to help cancel these statements if you make them. However, if someone else makes them about your actions, business or possessions, then that “curse” can have an effect.

If it is an object such as food or your car, this can generally be cleared by circling the object with your right hand three times and saying, “9-9-6-1, 9-9-6-1, 9-9-6-1. Intensify and magnify. Thank you Creator of All That Is.”

If directed at yourself, this needs to be cleared. A sweeping mudra upon leaving their presence can help. (Hands in prayer position in front of chest. Push both hands out and off to the side with the intention of sweeping away everything to do with that person, event, and/or place.)

Some swearings you may not be aware of. These need to be cleared on a weekly basis. A prayer along these lines is useful: “Creator of All That Is, if I am affected by any swearing or ill intent directed my way, sweep it way (do the sweeping mudra) when ever, where ever and on all five levels of my being. Transform it to love and light. If my actions or inactions caused these to be directed to me, open my awareness to see if I should change my behavior in such a way as deemed only by Thou as appropriate. In either case, whether their ill intent was deserved or undeserved, I bless any senders of ill intent on their path. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is done, it is done, it is done.”

Now that you know the forgiveness techniques, it may be appropriate to perform them for/with someone who has passed over. The issues between you can burden both of you in your continued consciousness. Their soul may or may not choose to forgive you. However, your soul can be freed and not be burdened with this continuing discord. You may still owe some karmic debt, but the payment will no longer be a pinch. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi gave an example of a karmic debt being like owing $10. If you only have $20, it is a big pinch to pay it. However, if you have $100,000, you still owe the debt, but it is not a pinch to pay it.

Sometimes when we offend someone, maybe while driving, we can send out a message to them that we are sorry and did not mean to do it. In some cases, we may not even be aware that we did something discourteous. If it happens rarely and unintentionally, then our request to be pardoned will be fulfilled. However, if we consistently drive in a way that causes problems or irritates others, then the asking to be pardoned is not accompanied by a true repentance. Repentance means not only acknowledging that what you did created a problem, but repentance should also include an effort to change your behavior so it does not continue to make uncomfortable waves.

Normally, just because you ask someone to forgive you, it does not mean that they will not continue to harbor some resentment about your action. It is possible to reduce the extent of this resentment by inviting their soul in to listen to the soul song with you and then again asking their forgiveness and blessing them on their path. Some action “dedicated” to them may also help lessen your “karmic debt” regarding that issue. If it is not appropriate or possible to do the action for them, then doing it for someone else with the intention of “dedicating “ it to them will also work.

There is part of all of us that would like to be perfect. When we make mistakes, it is easy to take ourselves to task - “That was stupid!” “ What an idiotic thing to do!” “I looked so foolish!” When you find yourself chastising yourself, then say - “Cancel, cancel, cancel.” Then do an affirmation such as, “Let me see the humor in everything.” “I am worthy of love just as I am.” Say it out loud three times while circling the heart clockwise with your right hand.

It is good to be gracious when someone apologizes to you. Understand that when you forgive them, it does not relieve them of their karmic debt for that action. But it does free you from being tied to them where ever they go, both in this life and when they pass on. Hatred and anger directed toward someone for their misdeeds can tie you to them, keeping you from your progress towards the light..

Actions that are done with an underlying feeling of self-righteousness can generate unfortunate karma that will return to you. It is very tricky to carry out actions that you justify based on your belief system or on what you believe your God wants you to do. It will be good to do a forgiveness technique for your self for times when you acted in self-righteousness and your behavior was a detriment to others and the environment. Then invite in those that you wronged with those acts performed in self-righteousness and ask for their forgiveness.

“Judge not that you be not judged.” Somehow we think of “judging” as involving important things like people’s sexual behavior or acts of violence. However, “judging” is also reflected in little condemnations in our daily lives. Getting “miffed” about something is a form of judgment. You judge a behavior as offending you in some way. Since you judge that behavior as being inappropriate, it justifies you acting miffed. Being miffed is no fun for either party and generates emotional chemicals in both bodies that take a while to dissipate. Never try to resolve issues with those chemicals surging through your body. Usually the trigger incident has little to do with the underlying feeling which could linger from childhood experiences such as not feeling one is smart or loved or good looking or not having ideas of value. See Thing You Can Do Relationships Ending the Miffed Routine.

There are some times when anger seems appropriate such as when there is a continuing issue affecting others or the environment that needs to be corrected. The earth and children are two victims who may have no way to help themselves. Though emotional appeals may seem to be the most effective, with most governmental organizations and businesses they often achieve nothing. Logical presentations backed up with evidence and using existing law will often accomplish much more. If the law or rules need to be changed, then keep pushing to make that happen. However, one must be careful to avoid performing "unjust" acts in the name of eventually bringing justice. People with "righteous indignation" have committed horrific crimes. Ask for wisdom to carry out your battles in ways that do not require forgiveness.

Forgiveness is a stepping stone to the future. Those who do not forgive are stuck in the past. The future for them involves getting even or making them pay. Thus doing the forgiveness technique allows you to step into your future unencumbered. It is like taking a ball and chain off. You feel lighter and can move quickly and with ease towards your goals. The forgiveness technique is a beautiful gift to yourself. Treat yourself often!.

It appears that some physical problems in this life time can be the result of grudges and resentment coming in with you from previous experiences. Sometimes you will get an intuitive insight into the previous experience. Other times another person may give you the insight or it can remain a mystery. Whether a known or unknown experience, the forgiveness technique can facilitate the healing process. Invite in those involved in the experience. Wording something like this will work when the individuals involved are unknown: “Dear soul, mind, body and history of any being involved in the underlying issues aggravating ____________________ (list your concern – physical or other). Listen to this Forgiveness Soul Song with me and stay for a soul conference. Thank you for participating.”

In the soul conference, you will want to ask their forgiveness for anything that they may be holding against you. You will want to forgive them for anything they have done to you and those you care about, let the issue go between you, ask that you both be educated as appropriate, give any possible karmic retribution over to the Creator of All That Is, ask that they disremember and forget anything directed to you unless it is in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is, bless them on their path, and ask that the appropriate guide escort them away. End with “Thank you, thank you, thank you. Gong song, gong song, gong song.”.

It is said that karmic things are passed down for seven generations. It also appears that grudges can be passed on. When you do a forgiveness blessing, it not only blesses you and those forgiven, but it also blesses those that follow. They are also freed from carrying that grudge. If you find yourself thinking uncharitable thoughts about a race, nationality, occupation, group or behavior, consider whether you have actually had any interaction with them to warrant those negative feelings. If it appears to be not based on any present experience, then the forgiveness technique needs to invite in those who are influencing your feelings. After you are done and bless them on their path, ask the Creator of All That Is to sever any connections you have with them except for those in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator.

Some relationships span several lifetimes - either of one's own or relationships from ancestral or racial links. Feelings of distrust or discomfort around an individual could be due to their activities in this lifetime or from previous times. Quite often those from previous times involve a cycle of one side being the offender and another where the victim is now the offender. These cycles can repeat several times.

So any forgiveness technique needs to both offer your apologies for actions of yourself, your ancestors and/or race and to offer them forgiveness for what they did to you, your ancestors and/or race. They may not be ready to forgive you, but on your side, you are breaking the resentment cycles that connect you together.

It is also useful to look at what brought about your interacting in this lifetime. Sometimes a desire of yours gets fulfilled and that fulfillment leads to your interaction with that individual. So it is back to "Be careful what you wish for - you may get it." Then you are stuck with it and other things attached to its fulfillment.

Sometimes a friend or family member will bring up some issue on a regular basis. They may not even be aware that having this unresolved issue causes unease in their consciousness. When you mention it, they will more than likely say, “Oh, that doesn’t bother me.” Then say, “You may think that it doesn’t bother you, but you mention it regularly.”

Some of the techniques in Things You Can Do Relationships may be helpful. Also, it could be that listening to a Forgiveness Soul Song and doing a Soul Conference can help them resolve it. You will know that it worked when the issue does not keep recurring in their conversation.

Usually we think of forgiveness being needed if we do something wrong. Sometime though, people can resent it when you are right about something or do well at something. This resentment can come from various things from being jealous that you succeeded to you’re being right making them be wrong. Your good score could even have changed the grading curve and affected their grade.

Two areas need to be cleared for doing well and creating resentment in others. A prayer to the Creator of All That Is clears both.
1) Ask to be forgiven for and cleared of any smugness or conceit from having done well.
2) Clear the emotional ties that linger from the resentment sent your way. Ask the Creator to bring in any soul that harbors resentment toward you. Ask for their forgiveness for any unintentional consequences of your behavior. Ask that they be educated and freed from this memory and allowed to continue on their path with appropriate guides and protection. Bless them on their path and say “gong song, gong song, gong song” with karate chops and sweeping mudra.

It is a mystery how those who commit grievous acts can ever be forgiven by those injured and how they can ever change their ways. Though this physical body is just a temporary manifestation of our light soul, it does feel pain and suffer. You can condemn the act and still have pity on the troubled soul who committed the act. It is not necessary for us to revenge the deed; the law of retribution and of karma will make sure they get their comeuppance.

However, it may be necessary to take action so that they cannot continue their actions. The trick here is to take action to prevent further atrocities without the intent of revenge. Thus we arrest murderers so they cannot murder again.

Can they change? Jesus certainly thinks there is some value to blessing those that curse you and praying for your enemies. Sometimes they are themselves the victim of some sort of possession or curse. Ask the Creator of All That Is to clear them as appropriate, educate them, and provide them with appropriate guides.

The odd thing about resentments is that thoughts about the person who we resent keep percolating around our thoughts. So the one and the things we are upset about shadow all our other activities. It “spoils” many of one’s waking hours and does nothing to fix the problem or to get even or teach them a lesson.

The only good I ever heard of thinking constantly about the enemy was in a story from India. One of the demons was always out to get the higher being and constantly thinking about how to get him. Thus the demon was thinking about the higher being all of the time and became enlightened.

However, for us, stewing about resentments is not beneficial. Phoenix Vibrational Practitioners have a technique for clearing Negative Emotional Charge (NEC). Often the reason we respond so strongly is due to previous similar situations in this or other lifetimes. Clearing the NEC can be very helpful. Doing the forgiveness techniques can also bring relief for the resentments that waste our time.

When you ask to be forgiven, there must be the intention that you will try to avoid similar behavior in the future. Sometimes however, someone feels hurt by something you do, but you had no intention of hurting them. Invite them in to a soul conference. Listen to an appropriate Soul Song and then explain that you had no intention of hurting them. Listen to their soul’s feedback about why they were bothered. Consider if you can modify how you say or do something.

Later, when neither of you are tired, rushed or hungry, have the same conversation with them in person. There is the possibility that they are responding based on previous experiences. Then it is good to do Phoenix Vibrational Healing™ clearing for Negative Emotional Charge.

Anytime you find that you get really upset about something, it is good to do a Negative Emotional Charge clearing for that issue. (This is available from a Phoenix Vibrational Practitioner.) The source of upset can be from this life time, while you were in the womb, or even from your previous existence. It is often a combination of the three. The Forgiveness Soul Song and Soul Conference Techniques are also usually of benefit in these cases of upset. They can be a great blessing. Take advantage of them.

Little resentments have the ability to keep kicking around in our consciousness, and then they grow with every returning thought about it. Soon you find that you are not speaking to someone because of some thing relatively small that they did. Or a person can do something and you find yourself instantly outraged. Then you continue thinking about it and it “ruins” your next few days or even weeks. Either way, whether from an instant rage or gradual build up, it disturbs your inner equilibrium. In a sense, you have now given that person the ability to disrupt your life even when they are not around.

You can do the Perfect Child of God technique: If you find yourself thinking about an issue, past or present, where you would rather not be considering that scenario, say to yourself, "______________ (their name). We are perfect children of God. May both our paths be blessed. Over and Out." End with the sweeping mudra (a mudra is a hand movement or position): Put palms together, fingers pointing up, about one foot in front of your heart. Then while breathing out through the mouth and making a sh-h-h-h-oo sound, push each palm out and off to the its respective side of your body. (You are sweeping the issue away.) Each arm will end up fully extended, still in front slightly but off to the side, with the palm up in the "Stop" position.

Just because someone is close to you and loves you does not mean that they can read your mind. When you have a desire for something to be done, then express that desire so the other person knows. If you do not want them to forget your birthday, then give a reminder in time for them to get something for you. You might even say what you would like, so that you not only are remembered, but you receive something you truly want.

Needless to say, it is not fair to be unforgiving or angry when someone cannot read your mind. The technique of asking a question to be sure you understand what the person meant will help you so you do not have to be a mind reader about other people’s thoughts.

Since none of us are “perfect” in all our actions, we will naturally do things that those we live and work with may see as offensive. The miracle of relationships is that most of the time our friends, family and co-workers forgive our imperfections. They may even laugh at them. It is good every once in a while to thank a person who obviously accepts your imperfections. It does allow you the freedom to grow and develop when you are not constantly being judged.

“Judge not that you be not judged.” This Biblical advice was linked to the idea that you could be complaining about some minor infraction that someone else was committing while committing a major infraction yourself. The Universe does seem to have sense of humor about things that we judge. More often than not, a person who is very judgmental about something will eventually be “caught” doing the same thing.

If you find yourself thinking judgmental thoughts about someone or some activity, there are a couple of things you can do to break that judgment cycle and save you from “boomerang karma.” You can say the phrase “Perfect child of God. Over and Out.”

Then, in your mind’s eye, you can circle them clockwise with your right hand while saying, “Bless love, bless love, bless love. I bless you con your path.” Finish with the cut away – sweeping mudra. Say “Gong song, gong song, gong song.” (Respectfully return in Chinese) With the first “Gong song” make a karate chop with your right hand from left side above your head down to right side below your hip. With the second “gong song” do a similar motion with your left hand starting on the right side above your head and ending on your left side below your hip. With the last “gong song” do the sweeping mudra: palms together about a foot in front of your heart, then push each hand out and away and to the side with the palms ending in a “stop” to each side about shoulder height and your arms straight.

Remembering the past is a two edged sword. If you do not remember, you will likely commit the same mistake again. However, if you remember when others or you made mistakes, you can fall into the trap of judging when the same mistake happens again. Imperfect behavior should be a chance to learn, not a chance for recrimination and for brow beating yourself or others. Look at what led up to the situation and see if there is something you could do in the future to change the outcome. A sense of humor is also very useful in turning a mistake into a learning experience.

Forgiveness is a necessary component of dissolving karmic debt and avoiding taking on the karma of others. When we don’t forgive someone, whether for an actual offensive or a presumed offense, then there is an emotional cord tying us to them. They and their current ups and downs then constantly affect us at very subtle levels of our being. Their karma is entwined with ours.

The most extreme case I have heard of was related by a person who could contact people after they had passed over. The Nazis had killed a woman and her family. Upon death, her hatred of them kept her soul with the perpetrators in the lower, punishment regions.

So take note when you find yourself thinking negatively about someone. That will give you a list of people to do the forgiveness techniques for. Remember, it does not absolve their karma, but it severs the connection tying their karma to yours.

We talk of people doing things while “under the influence” which usually refers to alcohol and drugs. However, people can also perform acts while “under the influence” of other beings or influences. It is amazing how often the picture in the news of someone who committed an atrocious crime looks “possessed.” One of Jesus’ healings was the casting out of a whole legion of demons.

The possession can be not so malevolent, just something that makes the person not seem quite his/her self. Phoenix Vibrational Healing™ Practitioners have been trained to remove these unwanted influences safely. It is a great gift you can give a loved one to have these cleared. You will probably need to do a forgiveness clearing for acts done “under the influence” by yourself or by others.

Sometimes we think that someone owes us an apology, but they think that they have not done anything wrong. You can invite their soul in to hear a Forgiveness Soul Song and then have them stay for a soul conference. You can explain why you feel they did something wrong. Then pause and let their soul respond. If you actually feel forgiveness, you can forgive them and bless them on their path. Otherwise you can just thank them for coming and bless them on their path.

However, if you find yourself still thinking negatively about the incident, you will need to deal with the issue. You can listen to a Forgiveness Soul Song, then connect in to the Creator of All That Is and explain the difficulty you are having with forgiving in this instance. Ask that the person learns their appropriate lesson and that you be freed from the need to take care of the consequences yourself. Thank the Creator and then listen to a Forgiveness Soul Song again.

In some cases, we expect a person to forgive us because they will benefit from our interaction with them. For example, they are hoping to get your business, so they should not mind the fact that you were late. It sometimes seems like cell phones have made people less concerned about being late. They can get a hold of you to let you know, so that in some way seems to allow them to be late.

Naturally, the best course is to behave and plan in a way that does not lead to having to ask for forgiveness. Consider the past week or month. How often were you late and had to make apologies? Or is there something else that you regularly find yourself having to apologize for? If there appears to be a pattern, then think about if you want to continue that pattern or if you can make some changes, so the need to apologize for that thing disappears.

Sometimes a person takes offense at something we do or say, but we had no intention of giving offense. It is often possible to see that they are upset, but feel that you did nothing wrong. Sometimes it helps just to say, “It was not my intention to hurt you or make you upset.” Then, if they are still upset, suggest that you talk about later when they are calm.

Later you can play a game of trying different wordings and ways of conveying the concept that upset them. Sometimes the solution can be adding something before the statement that explains your underlying concern. For example, the upsetting statement could have been, “When’s dinner?” This could make the one fixing dinner think you are rushing them or complaining.

You could give more information with your question: “Do I have time to ______ before dinner?” The person getting upset could also ask a clarifying question before getting upset: “When’s dinner?” “Are you hungry?” “No, I wondered if I had time to ________.”

It can be revealing to consider what things upset you when other people do them. Then see if you ever engage in the same behavior. If you think not, ask someone else if they have ever seen the behavior in you. Needless to say, most of us are not totally free of that which irritates us. Thus when forgiving the other person, also do a forgiveness process for yourself for when you have done the same thing.

It is not uncommon to be very judgmental, not because of the other person, but because of not forgiving one’s self for having done the same thing. The most blatant examples are conservative ministers and politicians who rail against gays, but engage in that behavior themselves.

War causes those on both sides to have to perform actions that they or those affected find disturbing. They now call this Post Traumatic Stress disorder. Almost all of us have at sometime been involved in a war. The memory can also be passed on in the genes or epigenome. The forgiveness techniques can help resolve some of these issues.

You can also, at the soul level, facilitate a meeting between someone you know and those they have interacted with in war. Then play forgiveness soul songs for them to listen to. If it seems appropriate, you can even facilitate their souls speaking of this issue to each other.

Each year we celebrate the birth of Jesus. When he came, the angels sang. However there is some discussion as to what they sang. For the shepherds to understand them, they would have sung in Aramaic. The most ancient scriptures we have are in Greek. An Aramic translation is “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and good hope for mankind.” The Greek translators argue over whether it is “peace on earth, good will to men” or “peace on earth to men of good will” or “peace on earth to men on whom his favor rests.”

Whatever translation you favor, the answer lies in what Jesus did and said. The real peace that Jesus brings is not peace on earth or between individuals on earth, but between a person and God. Before Jesus, only the priests could make offerings and enter the Holy of Holies. Jesus broke the veil separating the individual from direct communion with the Creator of All That Is. Truly something to celebrate!

There are relationships that do not seem to heal between family members and friends. Not all relationships are useful to mend or continue. You can do the forgiveness techniques to relieve the tangled knots between you.

However, whether to actually encourage interaction between you is something to pray about and dowse. Be sure and check both the percent benefit and the percent detriment for each of you. Also check for the benefit to spouses and any others involved. It could be that it is ok for one of you but not for the other. The answer may be to not pursue the relationship now but at some future time.

Sometimes it is difficult to ascertain if you are thinking about someone negatively because of thoughts from your consciousness or as a response to thoughts being sent your way by the other person. If your thoughts involve defending your actions, then more than likely the source is outside yourself. Either way, inviting them in to hear the forgiveness soul song and staying for a soul conference can help alleviate your mind turning things about them over and over.

You can also ask the Creator to clear the Negative Emotional Charge between the two of you. Phoenix Vibrational Practitioners have techniques to clear the Negative Emotional Charge.

If the thoughts are being directed to you, you can ask the Creator to create a shield around you that takes any negative thoughts coming your way, sends the thoughts to the Creator to be transformed as appropriate for the sender as deemed in their highest and best interest by the Creator, and sends a feeling of being loved back to them. You will know that your work is successful when your mind rarely turns to them.

Forgiving someone does not give them license to continue doing things that bother you. On your side, you need to see if there are any things you can do to prevent thoughts from influencing you negatively. It is even possible for family members that have passed on to still try and influence what happens to you “for your own good.”

You can connect in to the Creator of All That Is and then request this clearing: Clear any of the following that are directed to you that are opposed to your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is: prayers, thought forms, intentions, judgments, controls, desire to control, including those justified based on their beliefs, those done for our own "good" or the good of situations or the world as deemed from their viewpoint, or that are self-righteous. You can also ask that any of these that you directed towards yourself at any time be included in the clearing. These should all be cleared back to their inception.

If it is appropriate, you can even request that they “disremember you.”

When someone responds negatively toward a person in a way that is out of proportion to what was done or even seems to have no basis at all in the current behavior, then it is possible that their response is more rooted in the past than in the present. There are racial memories, ancestral memories, national memories, things carried in the genes and epigenome, and your own previous existence.

A soul conference after listening to a Forgiveness Soul Song can sometimes soften the memories affecting their behavior. You can ask them and the Creator for insight into what underlies their resentment of you. Sometimes it can be nothing personal, only that you were a member of the group that caused them problems. Once you understand the issue, then you can use an appropriate technique to resolve it. If they are unwilling to accept your request for forgiveness and or understanding, then see if it is appropriate to have them “disremember” the incident(s).

We like to think that we don’t let things “bother us” or that we have “gotten over” them.

The pain of feeling rejected can linger for years. It can be from schoolmates, family, friends or a spouse. How does one regain self confidence? The reprogramming technique in Things You Can Do Reprogramming Your Reaction is very useful.

You can even move the reprogramming back in time to events that happened in the past. For example, use a phrase like “the kids in school can reject me and I will feel good about myself” in the reprogramming. Then karate chop your right hand in front of yourself (the present), karate chop your left hand back in time to before the rejection at school, and with intention move the programming back while sliding your right hand over until it touches the left hand. A Phoenix Vibrational Practitioner can also do the Negative Emotional Charge clearing for you.

Pay attention to the things the universe is trying to teach you. Often you will remember that a fleeting thought went through your mind that might have allowed you to avoid the problem. Then give thanks for both the intuitions and any new understanding.

I recently learned the limits of how deep of snow my van’s all wheel drive would handle. As my husband pointed out, it happened in the sunshine, when we were under no time pressure to be somewhere, when we were close to the tools available to get us unstuck and a five minute walk from our house. When you learn the lesson, then you will not have to ask forgiveness from yourself or others in the future for blowing it.

When listening to a soul song, pay attention to the thoughts that you find running though your mind. The soul song will often bring to the surface something that needs to be cleared.

Recently while listening to a Forgiveness soul song, I remembered a couple of interactions with my former mother-in-law. In looking back on them, I felt that I had not acted in the most loving manner to her. I took the opportunity to invite her in for a forgiveness soul conference.

So, when the soul song brings a person or event to the surface, use the various Things You Can Do techniques to deal with it.

Sometimes the behavior that irritates us in friend or family is caused by an underlying emotional need in them that is not being met or they are responding from a previous event that caused shock, panic and/or trauma. There is a very powerful clearing tool on the Phoenix Vibrational Healing™ web site: Clearing Tools page. It clears imprints and energies of shock, panic and trauma. If it seems appropriate you can do the technique with them, either in person or on the soul level.

The Negative Emotional Charge clearing is also extremely valuable for clearing both past and current emotional triggers. All Phoenix Vibrational Practitioners can do this technique. You can also use the reprogramming techniques in Things You Can Do Reprogramming Your Response. That way, if they continue their behavior, it does not push emotional triggers in you.

When you do not forgive someone or are angry with them, it sets up an attractor field between you and them. Things that affect them are also attracted to you. In most cases, this is not a good thing.

There is one story from India about a demon who was obsessed with attacking the manifestation of God. Because that goal occupied his every thought, he was thinking about God all the time and became enlightened. So I guess that if you are obsessing about how a saint wronged you, you might be attracting blessings your way. However, most of the time it is not beneficial to have other people’s influences come your way.

People often talk about the great sense of freedom they felt after forgiving someone. That is partially due to the dissolution of the attractor field. You literally are freed from the burden of their influences in your daily life. Do the forgiveness techniques for anyone or thing you regularly find yourself stewing about in your mind.

A minister lost his job at his church because the congregation was upset that he agreed with a book about who ends up in hell and what hell is. Basically, he agreed that a loving God would not condemn millions of people to eternal damnation just because they had never heard of Christ. It seems that groups in every religion often have disagreements as to how to interpret their scriptures and what brings “salvation.”

We do know that the prayer that came from Jesus says, “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Our being forgiven seems to be linked to our forgiving others.

There are very few lines in the Lord’s Prayer. Most of the lines either make a statement about God or request something of him. Obviously holding a grudge is an important enough impediment to our spiritual growth that offering forgiveness is the only action on our part mentioned in the Lord’s Prayer.

            Press PLAY to hear the Soul Song.

Just because we know that we will be forgiven, we do not have a license to perform action that we understand to be wrong. The tongue in check response is that it is much easier to ask for forgiveness than to get permission.

As to what is actually wrong, there is a guideline from the new Testament: Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

In this statement there are no rules about do this and do not do that. Thus there is a wide spectrum of what people consider “wrong.” We can even perform action that we think is “right” at the time and then later come to view it as “wrong.” (or even think “wrong” and then come to view as “right”)

As our consciousness and heart expand, we are held more responsible for our actions. We also have more power to accomplish good and to do things to mitigate past behavior. Forgiveness is a tool for growth, not an excuse to act inappropriately.

Can forgiveness be given to a person who does not request it or who does not regret their action or who apologizes insincerely?

On the cross, Jesus asked for forgiveness for those who crucified him with the words, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Those who crucified him did not request forgiveness and, at that time, they probably did not regret their action.

So the first two situations have Jesus’ example of being able to receive forgiveness. As for someone who apologizes insincerely, you can forgive them. In fact, it is best for your own spiritual and mental health. However, you do not have to continue to interact with them in a way that allows them to repeat their behavior.

            Press PLAY to hear the Soul Song.

When we make a mistake, we ask the offended or wronged person to forgive us. But there is also the concept of atonement and trying to make amends. Then we may think that we have done enough, but the other person may still feel there is “something due.”

Quite often, no matter what we do, there is still resentment held within the other person that will show itself whenever something else goes wrong. It is like coming to bat with two strikes already against you. With just a slight misstep, you have made the third strike and you are sitting on the bench again. The other person’s resentment is much greater than the current behavior warrants.

Inviting their soul in to hear the Forgiveness soul song and stay for a soul conference to discuss the issue can some times start to unravel these old resentments. Address not only the original offense, but also you need to forgive them for holding on to the resentment and to forgive yourself for resenting their resentment.

Then, as a game, you might make a list from 1-10 of “bad behavior.” This list will be different for each person. Then make a list of reactions from mild to extreme, also 1-10. After a situation has calmed down, you can both consider it and rate the behavior and the reaction. If the reaction is a 9 and the behavior a 2, then it can help the person see the inappropriate pattern. Recognizing it is the first step to doing something to correct it.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” When Jesus lay down his life, it was not just for his friends, but for those who were his enemies and for those who had never met him.

Though it may not require more love, it is sometimes harder to forgive “those who despitefully use you.” Road rage shows that one of the more difficult things to forgive is rudeness when driving.

When you find yourself thinking resentful thoughts about someone, including when you are driving, counteract it with “Perfect child of God. Over and out. Bless love, bless love, bless love. Blessings to you on your path.”

Then do the sweeping mudra. (a mudra is a hand movement or position): Put palms together, fingers pointing up, about one foot in front of your heart. Then while breathing out through the mouth and making a sh-h-h-h-oo sound, push each palm out and off to the its respective side of your body. (You are sweeping the issue away.) Each arm will end up fully extended, still in front slightly but off to the side, with the palm up in the "Stop" position.

When something negative happens to you, it leaves a “Negative Emotional Charge” or NEC. There can also be an Physical and Emotional Shock-Panic-and-Trauma or Emotional SPT. Both of these exist not only from your current lifetime, but for when you were in the womb, and for previous experiences of your soul. Though the forgiveness technique can resolve things between you and the person(s) involved, it reduces but does not eliminate the NEC or emotional SPAT.

Phoenix Vibrational Practitioners have techniques that can clear these. Also, just knowing what they are called and where they can come from allows you to ask the Creator of All That Is to clear them and all of their ramifications from when ever, where ever and on all levels.

The question comes up about what steps one can take to stop behavior from continuing that is detrimental to you or even your country. We may forgive an action, but not want the action to be repeated. Jesus took the commandment “You shall not murder and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment” and expanded it to include “whoever is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment.” When bringing a gift to the altar, he said to go and reconcile with your brother first.

Thus angry thoughts can interfere with our connection to the Creator. Certainly revenge is to be left to the judgment of the Creator. However, actions taken to prevent further bad behavior can be appropriate as long as they do not involve anger, revenge or self-righteousness.

Can someone ask to be forgiven but not be repentant? Yes. Then the question arises as to whether the forgiveness has an effect. What does forgiveness do? In some way, it seems that one is hoping that by asking forgiveness that they will avoid some repercussions from their action.

Usually there are two types of forgiveness requested. One is forgiveness from the person or persons wronged. The other is forgiveness from the being whose laws or order has been broken.

We have already discussed the fact that when the wronged party offers forgiveness it is really a gift to one's self. It frees them from their ties to the offending person and frees their consciousness from thinking about it. So the forgiver can benefit whether or not the offender is truly repentant or whether they even repent at all.

However the law of cause and effect requires that an action have repercussions for the performer. Understanding the error and having the desire to avoid it in the future are necessary for a request for forgiveness to have an effect on the offender.

There is so much violence involved in every country’s history that every person comes into the world with national, racial and genetic issues involving giving or receiving violence or acts of subjugation. If your response to a person is stronger than current interactions warrant, it could be that you are responding to these other issues. Using the forgiveness soul song technique along with a soul conference can start resolving these issues. Buildings and land can also hold these memories. Inviting in their souls can also be beneficial both for them and for any person using the building or land.

Forgiveness is a gift either from a person offering forgiveness or from the Creator. There is generally nothing that you can do that can really make yourself “deserving” of the forgiveness. However, there is some value to performing service with love and the desire to be of help.

If you do it “to be seen by men,” then your reward is just that, recognition by men. But if you do it with a genuine desire to be of assistance to others, to animals, or to Mother Earth, then blessings will grow and flow your way from those seeds of helping that you sow.

What occupies our thoughts both takes up time and affects the chemicals in our bodies, which in turn affect our health and mental balance. Thus when you allow yourself to keep mulling over in your mind how someone wronged you or misjudged you or how you can get back at them, you are giving this person incredible power over your time and health. Needless to say, that is probably the last person to whom you would willingly give any power over you.
1) Notice if you have any recurring thoughts about people or events where you feel victimized, misjudged, or the need to try to “get back.”
2)Consider if there was any behavior on your part that contributed to the situation. (Chinese proverb: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”) If so, then you can decide if you want to change something about your own behavior in the future. Depending on the circumstance, you can also decide if it is appropriate to talk to the person about what you did and apologize.
3)Do the forgiveness techniques involving Soul Song and soul conferences. The goal is to free yourself from that person’s ability to steal your time and affect your health and emotions. You could also have a Phoenix vibrational Practitioner do clearing for Shock, Panic and Trauma and Negative Emotional Charge.
4)This step should only be taken when the emotional charge of the situation has been greatly reduced using step three. It could be that there is follow up that needs to be done, especially if there was a crime involved and there is the chance that they will repeat it. The goal here should be not to gain recompense or revenge, but to help others.

Dear Ones, our emotions can overshadow that inner peace which we treasure. Though they do provide some "excitement," the goal is to still remain steady at your inner core.

When tired, it is easier to let time just slip away doing that which does not benefit us.

Our brains can only function as well as the fuel we give them allows. That is why it is important to be careful when dieting. It is much better to eat several smaller meals than one large and several tiny or nonexistent. It is not the total number of calories per day, but the total per meal that matters. Any excess calories in a given meal will be stored as fat. The small meals should always include some protein, something live, and something with omega-3 oils.

Depression can overwhelm us at times. It is important to take action to counteract it so it does not snow ball. Biotin helps nutritionally. Music that you love is one of the strongest tools for shifting consciousness. Dancing to the music helps shift the chemical balance in your body. Master Sha's CDs have the power to shift as well. They can even be played softly at night in a room where you are not sleeping. Leave one on repeat when you leave your house so that influence will build while you are gone.

There are many things that affect our emotions and mental state. Luckily, we have control over many of them. One of the most obvious is what we eat. White flour and refined sugar not only affect our moods, but they contribute to many disease states especially those involving the lungs. Foods that are less processed provide better nutrition and do not "aggravate" our bodies. Artificial colors are also "aggravations." Remember to try to eat something live with every meal or snack.

Feelings about one's self-worth underlie all of the other emotions we have. If these feelings belittle our self in some way, then they need to be uplifted. This is a two step process: 1) to remove the self-defeating belief and 2) to install an uplifting belief. See Things You Can Do Increasing Money and Supply  "Pulling Negative Beliefs" and "Changing Beliefs." The same technique can be used for any belief you want to alter, such as "I am not smart. I am not wanted. I am guilty and should be punished." Another technique is to invite in the soul-mind-body of the belief you want changed to listen to the soul song with you. Listen to the soul song together. At the end, say "Thank you for coming to listen to the soul song. Depart now from by core, my genetics, my history and my soul. I bless you on your path. Gong song, gong song, gong song. It is done. It is done. It is done." ("Gong song" means "respectfully depart" in Chinese.) Pause a moment to watch the belief depart from all four levels. Then invite the soul-mind-body of the positive belief you want replacing the departed one to hear the soul song with you. Listen to the soul song together. At the end say, "Thank you for coming to listen to the soul song. Please remain and fill any place emptied by the departed belief. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is done. It is done.

Rest is not only the basis of activity, but also the basis of our health and emotional stability. There are so many activities tugging at our time commitments that it is easy to find ones self going to bed later and getting up earlier than our bodies would spontaneously do on their own. Not surprisingly, when we are tired we find ourselves snapping even at those we love. So it is good to build in extra times of rest. Daily, be sure to include meditation. It has been shown to cut the time to recover from sleep deprivation dramatically. Weekly, set aside one morning that you allow yourself time to sleep in. Then when you wake up, prop yourself up in bed, meditate and allow yourself to fall back asleep. Repeat this until you feel rested.

Emotional/mental balance is greatly influenced by whether one has enough omega-3. Omega 3 affects brain functioning, is anti-inflammatory and improves blood flow. It comes from leafy greens. Fish have it from eating plankton. Beef and poultry have it if they are grass fed. Grain fed usually means corn or soy and instead is higher in omega-6. Omega-6 comes from seeds. Heat and hydrogenating turn what is a beneficial substance into a detrimental one which increases blood clotting and inflammation. Healthy omega 6 oils actually facilitate the transfer of oxygen into cells – a very necessary function. Hydrogenating oils turns them into trans fats which cause plaque build-up in the arteries. In nature, animals eat seeds in the fall to put on fat to prepare for winter. Unfortunately our diets have increased in omega-6, including seed oils like sunflower, while decreasing omega-3. This causes both emotional/mental problems and weight gain. If you take an omega supplement, check the ones that are “complete” for where their omega 6 comes from. Increase leafy greens. Choose organic canola oil, coconut oil, cold pressed seed oils, or the neutral olive oil. Favor dairy and meat products that are grass fed. Chickens fed flaxseed have increased omega 3, which transfers to the eggs and meat.

It is one of the anomalies of science that we see something as bad, like butter, and substitute something that is even worse, like margarine with hydrogenated oils. It is one of the signs of the changing of the age that trans fats are finally recognized as detrimental and that they are now being phased out of foods.

The brain's functioning is affected by its supply of brain chemicals which are dependent on both the minerals and vitamins that are the building blocks and also on being properly hydrated. Water and proper oils facilitate the movement of the needed things into cells and the used up things out. Do not drink distilled water, as all the minerals have been removed. When receiving healing work or when losing weight, the body needs much more water than usual to facilitate expelling toxins from the body.

When we are around other people, sometimes their emotions and energy become entwined with ours. There are a couple of things you can do to minimize this. Before entering a building where you will be around others whose energy you do not want mixed with yours, such as Wal-Mart, ask for your aura and subtle bodies to be drawn in to within 2” of you body. “Dear aura and subtle bodies, draw in to within 2 inches of my body and stay there until I am back home. Thank you. Do it now.”

Also, when you leave the building, you can do the sweeping mudra. (Put palms together, pointing up, about one foot in front of your heart. Then while breathing out through the mouth and making a sh-h-h-h-oo sound, push each palm out and off to the its respective side of your body. You are sweeping the issue away.

When you feel pressure to have to get something done, it puts a cloud over all of your mental and emotional enjoyment of life. This is especially true when you see the pressure as coming from outside yourself and not something you want to do. Taking responsibility for your life and having others take responsibility for what they do to you can help. (See Things You Can Do Protection Total Personal Responsibility.) Acknowledging that part of the pressure may come from your desires lets you see that it is not all being forced on you. Then you can decide if you really want to fulfill the desire that is putting the pressure on you. If you decide to continue, then you can say something like this while circling your heart clockwise with your right hand: “I choose to fulfill this goal of ________________, I can complete it easily and with joy. The Creator of All That Is supplies me with ideas, energy, and the resources I need to complete it. I see the humor in every situation. Anchor, lock, seal. Thank you Creator of All That Is”

Brain functioning depends an amazing amount on what we eat. Many of the behavioral and concentration problems with children and adults can be linked back to what they eat. Almost all breakfasts and many other meals and snacks ignore the guideline of including 1) something with protein, 2) something live, and 3) omega-3 oil. Breakfasts also tend to break “the avoids” of 1) artificial colors – especially yellow and red, 2) artificial flavors, 3) refined sugar, 4) corn syrup, and 5) wheat. Breakfast cereals are real culprits. Ever since they had to start listing the ingredients in order of quantity, they try to disguise the amount of added sugar by using four or five different kinds of sweeteners. To get an idea of how much sugar there is, compare the grams of sugars in a serving of cereal to the grams of sugars in cookies

“Rest Is the Basis of Activity” was a song written by a Transcendental Meditator. The idea was that meditation, which is a withdrawal from activity, actually is preparing you for activity. Both daily mediation and sleep are a key part of maintaining our emotional and mental balance. Sometimes we know when going to bed that we will have to get up before our body will be completely rested. When that is the case, make this request before falling asleep: “Creator of All That Is, multiply my (and add names of other family members) sleep by the number of times so that I (we) wake up refreshed, rejuvenated and able to accomplish my (our) tasks with ease and joy. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is done, Its is done, It is done.”

Music that makes your body want to move to it and makes you smile inside is a great rejuvenation tool. It is unfortunate that much of the music that is being listened to today is played back in very low fidelity, such as iTunes. If you listen to MP3s – at least listen to those that are recorded at 256k baud or better. CDs have an even better bit rate. DVD A and BluRay have the possibility of even better reproduction depending on the quality of your amp and speakers. The benefits from the music increase as the quality of the playback improves.

It is common for people to keep replaying in their mind a situation where they made a mistake or where someone does something to them that they do not like. Usually this just keeps them ruminating about something with no benefit. Instead, one can use these events, which happen to all of us, as a tool to prepare us for future events. In your mind, try saying or doing something different in the replay. Come up with at least ten phrases or actions. Remember to try different approaches – the humorous, the educated, the flippant, the sarcastic, the religious, etc. Think of some movie role and play it out as that character. Also try things that would be more disastrous. The role playing not only helps you see other possibilities, but can also reminds your inner self that life, in many ways, is just a play.

People who help you see the humor in things are invaluable. Cultivate their friendship. Remember that just the process of laughing is healing both emotionally and physically. If you have the choice to watch or listen to something that makes you fearful versus something that makes you laugh – always lean towards the humorous. It is good to look back at your day and see is there were times of laughter in it. If not, figure out how to include some the next day.

We have all heard that doing something for someone else can make us feel better. Sometimes seeing other's problems might take us from looking at the hole in the donut to making us more grateful for the blessings we have. But it is also important to do something for yourself regularly. If you ignore your needs, in the long run you will not even be able to help others. So as always – balance. Some time for others and also some time for yourself.

When we are upset, it is almost impossible to stop and consider why and what it is accomplishing. But later, when not upset, it is useful to consider the reason. Ask yourself these questions: Was my response appropriate to the level of aggravation? (Too little, just right, too much?) If I had seen someone else respond as I did, would I have considered it appropriate? If it was not appropriate and “too much,” why did I overreact? (Possibilities include tired, hungry, mad about something or someone else, indigestion, a supplement or drug, time of the month, taken on someone else's feelings, under time pressure, sick, reacting to previous thing this person did rather than to what they are currently doing, missed meditation.) Having a friend or spouse help analyze it is sometimes helpful. Only when you know the “why” is it possible to start fixing it.

When we get upset when something happens, it is good to reflect on that response later after the issue has played out. Sometimes you will find that you responded strongly, only to have the matter be a non-issue in the long run. You were worried that something would not work, and actually it was just fine. Or someone can tell you something that upsets you only for you to find that they gave you the wrong information, so there was not need for you to be upset. Do not judge yourself about this, but chuckle at how you became involved in the “play.” Being aware of it is the first step to breaking the pattern.

Intuition becomes a very valuable tool as we evolve and learn to trust it. There will be situations where afterwards you think, “Luckily I did …” That is the time to give thanks for the intuition that gave you the impetus to do that fortuitous thing. As with all things that are appreciated, our intuitions will grow as we start to both act on them and recognize their value.

If you find yourself being grumpy or irritable, sometimes something that you are taking as a medication or supplement can be depleting your biotin. It is important to take enough. Thorne has one called Bioton-8 that has 8,000mcg. Most ones available at the super market do not have enough to do the trick. Dowse how much you need. If one a day does not help, then increase it to two a day.

A friend recently told me that he has learned not to sweat the small things. When I asked how he determined what the small things are, he replied, “If I wake up in the morning and can get out of bed, everything else is a 'small thing.'” A little time of giving thanks before getting out a bed or while showering can positively influence the rest of the day.

Emotionally, there are people who are “projectors” and those that tend to be “receivers.” “Projectors” can influence the people around them for either uplift or depression. It is like they are emotionally contagious. Lean towards those relationships where you find yourself feeling upbeat after the interaction. If you are especially susceptible to others feelings, you need to protect yourself before going out in public. As well as the techniques in Thing You Can Do Protection, you may find that there are physical objects that lend protection. Feng Shui Design Associates sells items called “pulsors” that I have found to be useful. Some of your jewelry could also provide protection – dowse to see what works for you.

The ups and downs of our emotions can have several sources: Are we hungry? Are we “crashing” from lots of carbs? Is something we have eaten or not eaten causing some imbalance? Have we “picked up” on someone else’s emotions and taken it on as our own? Are we tired or rushed? How is your hormone balance? Are we ruminating about some resentment over and over in our mind? Are you in pain? There are hundreds of causes. The first step is admitting that how you are feeling and interacting is not optimal. Then go about solving the problem very systematically. Have blood work done. Consult with someone who can dowse into possible causes. Ask a friend or family member if they see any pattern. Sometimes keeping a diary of what you eat and how you feel and act afterwards can give some insight. Of course, you can use the soul song practices, but you should not ignore physical aggravations.

It is good to look at our inner conversations from time to time. They will often reveal issues that can cause detriment if left to fester. You can take one day and keep a pad of paper with you.

Master Sha suggests singing soul songs or doing chanting throughout the day while you are doing tasks like driving and doing the dishes. Besides the spiritual benefit of the practices, it also serves the purpose of keeping your mind from stewing about various issues. If there is some person or event that pops into your mind, then invite their soul, mind and body in to also receive the benefit of your chanting or soul songs. Remember that everything has a soul, including the project you are working on and your business. So you can invite in the soul of your project or business to receive a blessing.

What we wear can affect our emotions and mental balance. This includes jewelry as well as the color and fabric of our clothes. It is good to check each day before getting dressed to see if that garment/color makes you stronger that day. If you know what you will be doing that day, put that awareness into your checking. What is good for job hunting may be different than what is good for going shopping. Also the jewelry should be tested to see if it makes you stronger. You can muscle test, or you can just pause a moment to ask mentally and feel for the response. For rings and bracelets, check for which side is better and for rings, which finger. Check before you put it on, then confirm after it is on. Remember that there are levels of “stronger.” Your muscle test can feel stronger or you can even ask for the percentage.

It may seem obvious, but how we say something matters. Yelling as you root for you team or when you are very pleased about something may be appropriate, but yelling when you are trying to make a point or convince someone to do something is usually counterproductive. A question can seem like the inquisition or a friendly inquiry. If things are not going well in your relationships, look at how you are making your statements. Replay a situation that did not go well in your mind and try saying your lines with different inflections. Say them out loud. Pretend like you are trying out for a movie part. Have fun! Sometimes, of course, you have to actually change what you say. (You can play with that, too!) But other times, how you say it can make a big difference.

One of the simplest things you can do to maintain mental balance is to make sure that you eat regularly and stay hydrated. Of course, you need to eat something that will not contribute to your mental imbalance. If you follow the Gabrielle Method guidelines of something live and some protein each time, that should help. Seeing the hunger not yet come and preparing for it can prevent the irritability melt down later on. Grabbing an apple and nut bar before you leave can be a real blessing later on. Somehow, with all the emphasis on weight in our culture, not eating is seen as a virtue. However, not eating TOO MUCH is the real goal. Eating small amounts 4-6 times a day is much better for mental stability and better weight.

Taking time for fun things that nourish your soul and heart is an important part of maintaining mental and emotional balance. If you only do things you have to or feel you should do for others, you deplete your inner store of bliss. When it is depleted, you cannot do the things for others as effectively. At its most extreme, your body and mind will have you get sick so you can justify not helping others. By taking time for yourself, you actually are benefiting others. You will remain healthy, be more cheerful, and be more creative in your assistance.

Being grounded contributes to our emotional balance and protection from outside influences. There are two areas of yourself that need grounding. One is emotional/spiritual. Three techniques to help with that are given under "grounding techniques" on the Phoenix Vibrational Healing™ web site: Techniques.

The other is our actual physical connection to the planet. If you are not sleeping or working on the ground floor or have been in a car or airplane a lot, then you are losing your connection to the planet. Walking on the ground, especially barefoot, can help. You especially need to be grounded while sleeping. A grounding pad can be helpful and is available at www.earthing.com.

Art Linkletter passed recently at 97. He credits living so long with laughing so much. Laughter is a great medicine both for the body and for emotional balance. When you are sick and watching videos to pass the time, be sure and pick funny ones. If you are feeling down, watch a funny video. Observe how you feel while watching any TV show, movie or video or while reading something. If it makes you feel anxious or scared, then you should decide how much of that you want in your consciousness. Then choose future viewings and reading accordingly.

If you find blocks in your activities or goals, it is good to check if it is in your highest and best interest as deemed only by the Creator of all That Is to continue in that direction. This is a tricky question. It could be that it is not safe to pursue the endeavor because that activity has been blocked for you in some way. This can come from several areas including that you or someone else in the past “banned” it, that you have the memory of previous attempts in this area ending disastrously, it could activate a curse or even trigger a booby trap.

If you get a “no” to it being “in your highest and best interest” to continue, then some further checking might help clarify why. Check: “It is safe for me to continue with ____________.” “The things hindering ____________ come from myself? From others? From others that are working in my highest and best interest as deems only by the Creator of All That Is?.” “How many things are hindering ___________?” “How many of these are in my highest and best interest to remove as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is?” “It is a good use of my time to pursue _______________ as deemed only by the Creator of All That Is.” It could be that it is appropriate to remove the blocks but not pursue the activity. Those blocks could be keeping you from other activities as well, and those other activities could be appropriate for you to pursue.

For major issues, it is good to have someone else confirm your answers. Guidelines for preparing yourself before asking questions are on the Phoenix Vibrational Healing™ web site: http://www.fredpayne.com/healing/techniques.html under the sub-heading Preliminary Instructions Prior to Accomplishing Many of the Clearing Procedures Contained on This Web Site.

Sleep and dreams are important for our mental well being. The even deeper rest that comes during mediation nourishes us emotionally and physically. One of the problems with sleeping pills is that they change our dream patterns. Sleeping pills provide rest without the full benefit of the mental and emotional unwinding that dreams provide. Many times when sleeping pills are stopped, then the body tries to compensate by dreaming more. The person feels they did not sleep well, and then they go back to taking the sleeping pills again. Helping someone understand that more dreaming is a good thing may enable them to break this cycle. More and more there are reports that people are consistently not getting enough sleep. What is often overlooked in lack of sleep is the toll it takes on one mentally and emotionally. Meditation can help one recover sooner from not enough sleep, but it does not eliminate the need for sleep for most people.

Rejection leaves deep impressions on us. It can be actual rejection or even perceived rejection that did not actually enter the other person’s mind but we took the action as rejection. It can be in many areas such as romantic, job related, making a team or being part of group, or by a friend. Rejection can be about things ranging from how we look to our abilities to our actions or inactions.

There are things and people that “drive me up the wall.” The trick is not to let this feeling hang around after the incident has passed. This is much easier said than done, as once our buttons are pushed it is hard to switch them off.

The sweeping mudra can help. Hands together in prayer position, then push the palms out and off to each side with the intention of having that incident “be gone!”

You can also “program” yourself for such future events so your buttons are not pushed: Make up a sentence about how you will react in the future such as, “John can get upset and I can feel ok.” (Statement should be free of any negatives – eliminate no, not, can not, will not, never.) Then take your right fist with the thumb pointing up about six inches from the point between your eyes, move it in a sideways figure 8 and follow your thumb with your eyes. (This moves your eyes through all their outer positions and activates corresponding parts of the brain for reprogramming.) Say your statement three times out loud. Repeat with the left hand, then with both hands clasped together. Repeat all three with your eyes closed. (Still move the eyes!) Then repeat a third time, eyes closed and statement repeated silently. You will find that you will react much less in the future. In six months or so, if you start reacting more, repeat the process.

Emotional steadiness and success in activity comes from a balance between the various activities of your life – work, chores, play, exercise, and time with friends. All work and no play not only makes Jack a dull boy but also makes him less effective at work. After focusing on something for a while, the mind stops progressing quickly to the solution. Doing other activities such as showering, meditating, and exercising seems to allow the mind to explore other paths in the brain in the background. You may even get the “aha!” experience while doing the other activity. Other times, when you go back to the problem, you will be fresher and able to pursue new avenues toward the solution.

Biotin helps maintain our mental stability and balance. If you seem to be overwhelmed by a task or cranky, it could be that you do not have enough biotin.

Nothing throws our emotional and mental balance off more than being under a time pressure deadline. This is especially true of a deadline when you see that you are going to miss it and be late or not make it at all. A deadline that you miss is missed. However, you can look at what led up to missing it and other situations like it to see if there is something you can do in the future to make your time goals.

Things you might consider: Are you being realistic about how long it takes to do something? If you always under estimate, by how much? If it always takes twice as much time, do your estimate and then multiply by two. Have you planned to do more things in two hours than is physically possible? Play a game with yourself. Estimate how long each task will take and then see how accurate you were.

Have you left with so little time that you had to make every signal? You may find that you can change your whole feeling of being rushed by just leaving 5 minutes sooner than you would have in the past.

One of the simplest ingredients that is often overlooked to emotional balance and overall health is getting enough rest. If you have to regularly depend on an alarm to wake you in order to be to work or appointments on time, that is an indication that you have scheduled your life so that your body is not getting enough rest. A meditation technique that gives your body deep rest twice a day can be an invaluable addition to your rest-activity schedule. Try to plan one day a week, or at least once a month, where you allow yourself to get all the rest you need. When you wake, prop yourself up a little, do your meditation technique for a few minutes and allow yourself to fall back asleep. Allow yourself to fall asleep in the afternoon. Vacations give us a chance to add a longer, deeper rest. However, we tend to plan our vacations so that they are go, go, go and we come back more tired than when we left. Plan a vacation that actually gives you some extra rest time.

The emotions and thought forms of others can linger on things they have touched including things they sat on, slept on, or wore. That is way it is important bless all things coming into your home or business with “9961, 9961, 9961 (circling clockwise with the right hand – have the intention to include your entire property) intensify and magnify, Thank you Creator of All That Is.” When someone moves out of your house, be sure to clear their influence and bring everything into resonance and harmony with who ever is still in the house. It is even good to clear after a visitor leaves. Clothes that have been worn by someone else need to be washed and then use the blessing prayer to bring them into resonance with the new wearer.

Doing something for someone else can help lift our own spirits. However, helping them does not mean that you have to take on their problems emotionally. When you are finished talking to them or being with them, then you need to clear their energy out of your field. After they are gone, then say, “I bless you on your path. Gong song, gong song, gong song.” (Respectfully return in Chinese) With the first “Gong song” make a karate chop with your right hand from left side above your head down to right side below your hip. With the second “gong song” do a similar motion with your left hand starting on the right side above your head and ending on your left side below your hip.

Supplements that we are taking for our benefit can be detrimental to our mental stability. When checking our supplements, it is good to not only check if they are beneficial for you, but also the percent of benefit. Then check if there is at least 1% detriment. If so, then check for the percentage of detriment. It is interesting that something can be over 90% beneficial, but still be detrimental 20-50%. For example, calcium may be very beneficial to you, however the formulation or capsule, fillers or other ingredients may be detrimental. You then need to find something that contains the beneficial ingredient in a form that is not detrimental.

Keeping your blood sugar at an even level throughout the day is a key part of maintaining emotional balance. The goal in the morning is to eat some protein and something live within a half an hour of getting up. If you do a meditation program in the morning, than eat within a half an hour of finishing meditating. This is amazingly hard for most of us. I find myself doing just “one more thing” before eating. Those who drink coffee in the morning often find it hard to eat if they start drinking the coffee before eating. Watch yourself and see what keeps you from nourishing yourself within the first half hour. Then you need to have some protein and something live and some omega 3 oil regularly throughout the day. The timing is different depending on your metabolism and what you are doing. For some it is every two hours and for others it can be somewhat longer. Pay attention to how your body feels as it runs out of food and start eating before that happens. You can also dowse and see what the ideal time for you is.

We all have tasks that need to be done. While we may not have a choice on whether or not to do the task, we do have a choice about our attitude toward the task. When we feel resentment about having to do a task, this resentment affects our mental well being negatively. On the other hand, we can dedicate the task as a gift of love and service. It can simply be a gift to your self. If the chore involves activity that benefits someone else, then it helps to see them as a representative of the Divine on earth. Jesus said, “Whatever you do to the least of these, you do to me.” This cannot only involve tasks generally seen as charity work, but also the tasks performed for family and friends. A helpful thought might be, “If I were doing this for Jesus, I would be honored to do task. I would do it with joy and love. I am blessed to have you in my life. I do this with joy and love.”

It is good to have a system to remind you of things so you do not have to keep the task constantly in the fore front of your consciousness. Take advantage of the latest technologies and use calendars in your phone and computer to be your reminders. Most even have how long in advance they remind you. Make sure that the reminder allows time to get there or to buy a present and send a card if it is a special occasion. You can even use the pen and day timer technique.

One of the keys to emotional-mental well being is getting enough sleep. Lack of sleep is also linked to low immune response, to poor brain functioning, and to one’s ability to lose weight. On a diet program, people who did not get enough sleep lost half the weight of those who slept more. Children under five need ten hours of sleep at night or they will tend to be fatter five years later. For them, naps had no effect on the increase of weight, as nap sleep is different than night time sleep.

Some pets seem to have the ability to bring their owners more emotional balance. At an RV park recently, many of the people there mentioned that they had the RV so that their pet could travel with them. One of the traditional stories in India has a hero arrive at heaven’s gate with his dog. The gate keeper explained that he could come into heaven, but his dog could not. So the hero turned around to leave, valuing his dog more than getting into heaven. He was then called back and let in with his dog. It had actually been a test. If he had abandoned his dog in order to get into heaven, they would not have let him in.

Group emotions from sporting events can be very strong both for the players and the spectators. Testosterone goes up not only in the winning team, but also in their supporters. It has been shown that your effectiveness increases if you relive in your mind a time when you were successful at something before you engage in sports or a public presentation. On the other hand, remembering a failure then increases the chance of not doing well. Thus taking control of what you think about before doing something can greatly improve the outcome.

Friends are a valuable support team. However, sometimes they can be a drain. If you find that with some friends you feel worse after being around them, then it is time to see if things can be changed or if you should move them out of your circle of friends. Whether it is a friend or a stranger, you need to make sure you are clear after being around them. You can help people without depleting your own energy.

A little reflection in the evening or before falling asleep can be helpful in three areas.
1) List some of the things that today brought your way that you are thankful for.
2) Write down things that you need to do. Then your mind knows they will be taken care of and won’t have it keep bringing them to your surface thoughts.
3) Note which things you did that day that went well and consider what made them go well (and give thanks).
4) Then look at things that did not go so well and think of what you might do in the future to improve the result. Sometimes you can ask someone who lives with you to help you change in some area. . It can be a simple as having them encourage you to go to bed on time and not tempt you with something on the TV.

One of the amazing things about dogs is their positive affect on their owner's emotions and even blood pressure. When mothers nurse a baby, a chemical called oxytocin is released. It is known as the “cuddle hormone.” When spending time petting their dog, both the person and the dog release oxytocin into the blood. This is similar to the spike seen when a mother nurses. Oxytocin reduces anxiety and increases feelings of contentment. Cuddling your mate and sex also tend to produce oxytocin. So cuddling your mate and petting your pet definitely have emotional benefits. This, of course, will be a complete surprise to everyone…

It is very easy when someone is cranky to respond back with a sharp remark. Sometimes they are cranky for a reason that has nothing to do with you. Because you care for them, you want them to be happy. When they are not happy, you can feel that you have failed in some way or that they are blaming you, and then you say something sharp, too. Having two people upset instead of one obviously does not help the situation. How can one remain calm with someone else is upset? One re-programming technique is useful. Work on the wording for how you want to be reprogrammed, for example “_________ can be upset and I can feel ok.” If one person in particular is the usual source of your reaction, put it their name. If your response is more general you could say, “people can be upset….” Then take your right thumb and move it in an infinity symbol (sideways figure 8) about 6 inches in front of your eyes. Say the statement out loud while following your moving thumb with your eyes. Then close your eyes, keep moving your thumb and following with your eyes and keep saying the phrase out loud and then silently. Repeat open and closed eyes out loud and silently with the left thumb. Then do everything with both thumbs. End by saying the phrase and circling your heart in a clockwise direction with your right hand three times.

Children will often see if they can get a different response from the other parent. Nations can be tested after leadership changes. New leaders can also try to prove they are important and must be paid attention to. Whether children or countries, a firm outline of consequences for various actions is important. It is useful to consider what the other person is trying to accomplish and why. Also check for the level of integrity of the other side. It is very difficult to deal in a straight forward manner with someone who says one thing but does another. In most cases, the emotional or angry response does not achieve the desired outcome. In planning your response, keep in mind your final desired outcome and judge all plans based on how they move in that direction.

When learning something new, it turns out that getting enough sleep afterwards greatly affects how much we will retain. It is not just sleep deprivation the night after we learn something, but sleep deprivation 48-72 hours after also affects long term retention.

Some memories are consolidated in the first stages of sleep and others need the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stages, especially those that occur near the end of the sleep cycle. That is why it is important to get enough sleep each night. The last REM cycle it stronger and longer than the earlier REM cycle. This deeper REM cycle affects long term memory retention.

Studies showed that 6 hours of sleep for 14 nights produced the same cognitive problems as 2 nights of acute sleep deprivation. However, the 14 night group was not aware of the cognitive decline while the 2 night deprivation group was aware of the decline.

Thus not getting enough sleep on a regular basis can fool us into thinking we are functioning ok. Meditation also had been shown to improve memory. Thus the best combination for memory retention is sleeping long enough and meditating.

When I played the organ for the Christian Science Church, I heard a phrase that struck my fancy: “Angel thoughts.” They used it to refer to those intuitions and insights that flit through our mind that prove to be useful. It can be as simple as the thought to go home a different way and you discover you missed some traffic congestion caused by an accident.

Sometimes you will have a thought, not act on it, and then shortly see something that does not go right. Then, instead of kicking yourself, say to yourself, “At least I knew and had the chance to avoid it (or take advantage of it). Next time I will pay attention!”

In this time of transition you will find more and more of these “angel thoughts” to come and to be useful. You can even use them to solve a problem. Fred Payne says that if you pose a question to the universe before going to sleep, that you will often get an answer upon waking or while doing your morning routine.

Food is the fuel for our body and brain. Unfortunately, this fuel is becoming more processed and has many additives that are not naturally occurring such as artificial colors and flavors. Research is showing that difficulties in focusing and hyperactivity, including ADD and ADHD, are directly linked to intake of artificial colors and flavors and MSG. Children are especially susceptible, but it also affects adults. So if you or your children are having difficulty focusing, consider what fuels you are giving your brain.

Low levels of vitamin D can make one feel depressed. Thus if you or some one you know is feeling depressed, it would be good to have their level of vitamin D tested. It is also part of the testosterone pathway, so low vitamin D can lower libido. It is also part of the calcium absorption process. Vitamin D in the past was gotten from the sun. However, between our indoor life style and trying to avoid skin cancer by using sun screen or covering up, most people do not get enough vitamin D from the sun. (A daily dose takes about 20 minutes exposure to the sun if most of your body is bare.) The D3 version seems to be best. There are liquid versions as well as pill versions. If you cannot take supplements, there is even a vitamin D lamp that provides vitamin D without the tanning/burning aspect of the sun. However, it costs over $400, so it is not practical for most people.

There are times when we can be emotionally out of balance. One of the causes can be that we have either run out of food or eaten a food that causes imbalance in our system. When it is lack of food, often the last thing we want to do is eat. This is where a friend can ask when you ate last. You can also ask yourself when you started feeling out of sorts. Check not only when you ate last but also what you ate.

When complimenting someone, including children, make sure you are re-enforcing the underlying trait that you want to grow. Complimenting the achievement of an “A” is re-enforcing that you want only the highest achievement. However, if one later does not get an A even though they worked very hard, they may not realize that there are other things they gained.

If you instead compliment them on their effort, the time they committed to that class, and how much they learned, these things will be valuable in whatever task they undertake. As well as praising something, you can ask the person how they feel about it. “Did you feel you learned something?” Helping them learn how to evaluate their work will also help them to be less concerned about what other people say and be more focused on the actual results.

We can free up our mental processes and time commitments by seeing if there are things that we are doing that can be eliminated. First question is, “Do you enjoy doing it? Does it excite you?” Those are activities that can stay. Second question, “Is it required to bring in money?” If so, is it possible to have an assistant (locally or “outsourced”) take care of it? If not, then it will probably need to be done. Third question, “Is it an obligation?” Then you consider what benefit there is to continuing to fulfill the obligation. Fourth question, “Does it provide some benefit to you?” If you decide to continue tasks in the third and fourth categories, can they be done by an assistant? By asking these four questions, it is possible to eliminate some things that you are doing. The goal is to get more and more of your time commitments to be answering “Yes!” to the first question.

There needs to be a balance between working under a deadline and working on a task without a near timeline. Feeling “pressured” can make us more focused and one pointed, but it can also make us more stressed. Some studies indicate that “pressure” in and of itself is not a problem. Those who feel they have some control of how the situation is solved are much happier and healthier than those who have their activities restricted by outside rules or people.

The problem with having lots of time to complete something is that often the task expands to take up all the time without the result being any better than when done under a quick deadline. Experiment around and see what balance of a deadline and unlimited time allows you to be most efficient while maintaining mental stability. It may vary with the type of task.

Some things like payroll tax forms, require a specific amount of work. This work itself will not expand with more time, but you may find that you allow yourself to be diverted to other tasks when not under a deadline. You can also make your own deadlines, which then give you more control and makes you happier. For example, the tax form is not due until the 31st, but you aim to have it done a week sooner.

The 4 Hour Work Week has a technique called the Compliment Sandwich. It is used to register a suggestion with a supervisor.
1. You compliment them for something.
2. You bring up your suggestion without using the words “you” or “you always.” You also say things like “I feel” (it is harder to argue with feelings), offer a solution, and end with “why don’t we just give it a try for a week (or a few days).” (This gives the feeling of no long term commitment.)
3. Quickly offer a compliment about something else.

This technique will also work with friends and family. Somehow, with family, it seems the general technique People use is just to start with the complaint, to offer no solution and to give no compliment about something else.

It does take a little forethought. You have to plan ahead and have a mental list of things to compliment them on so that you can use them when you need the Compliment Sandwich. It helps to plan the wording of your request in advance. Tact can be practiced and learned.

Words can both hurt and heal. Often it is not the words themselves, but how they are said and the emotion they carry. Even the words “Thank you” can be said with sarcasm. Sometimes no words at all are spoken, and it is just the body language and a little sigh that convey the import.

Consider the way friends and family respond to your various expressions, both verbal and nonverbal. Are you getting the response you would like? Also consider how you feel after the exchange. Is that feeling what you were hoping to achieve? If either their response or your feelings are not what you wanted, then it is time to consider trying other methods of expressing yourself. Practice different methods when by yourself. Be playful – try saying something in several different ways and using different words and emphasis. Pretend you are writing a script for a movie. Play both parts. If you keep doing the same thing, you will keep getting the same results.

Let your friends and family know when you appreciate something they do. Do it often. It is easy to fall into the habit of taking things for granted and then only mentioning things that bother you. Keep a scorecard for a week. How many times each day did you compliment something or show appreciation? How many times did you indicate discontent or criticism?

Needless to say, the positives should out number the negatives by at least 10 to one. If it is the other way around, is it because the other person’s behavior is actually 10 to 1 negative? In that case, there needs to be a major shifting in how you interact together. Review the Relationship and Emotional/Mental messages to see what tools will help.

Usually, it is not that the behavior is 10 to 1 negative, but that you only comment on the negative. That can be changed with practice. Keep daily score until you achieve at least 10 positive to one negative ratio.

Grief and disappointment are things that take time to heal. Do not expect it to fade quickly. There are techniques that can help the process.

If the symptom is crying or any other strong physical symptom, then let the awareness go to the physical sensations in the body. Then while letting the attention be on that sensation, breath in deeply through the nose and then breath out forcibly through the mouth. Repeat until the physical sensation subsides. This technique takes advantage of the link between emotions and the physiology. By letting the attention go to the physical rather than the mental, it allows it to dissolve while “saving the psychology.”

You can also help feelings of depression by a simple change in your shower technique. For whatever reason, a cold shower helps lift feelings of depression. (It also helps stimulate the immune system, which can be weakened by grief and disappointment.) Start with a couple of minutes of your usual warm/hot shower. If you are shampooing your hair, shampoo it while the water is warm. Then turn the water colder for the rest of the shower. Make it as cold as you can stand. When you are not rinsing something on the front side, have the cold water hit your upper back and neck. (This also helps fat loss!) You should actually start to feel chilled, even getting goose bumps. This is a great daily technique for everyone that will lift your spirits, boost your immune system, make your skin feel “younger,” and if you are dieting, speed fat loss.

It can happen that with the best of intentions we commit to serve a religious person or organization or to serve some other organization. The desire to serve can be so intense that a part of our soul stays with a physical manifestation of that organization. In most cases, it is no longer beneficial to maintain that commitment and being separated from part of our soul is usually detrimental. Phoenix Vibrational Practitioners can lead you through a process to break currently detrimental vows and commitments. They can also do a retrieval for your personal life force and any fragmented parts of your soul.

There are times when news of events in the world shows us Mother Earth in upheaval and local residents experiencing loss of possessions and life. What can we do to offer support? Before your spiritual practice each day, including listening to soul song, invite in the soul, mind and body of those affected by the event or trying to help those affected. Invite in Mother Earth and that area of the world by name. “Dear soul, mind, and body of all of those affected by ________________ and of all of those trying to help those affected by ______________________. Dear Mother Earth and all the countries affected by _______________. We love you. You have the ability to receive blessing on all levels from this practice. Do a good job. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” Then do your practice.

It can be chanting while doing chores. Imagine a golden or rainbow light ball surrounding Mother Earth as you chant. You may chant, “Divine Love Peace Harmony Rainbow Light Ball” for several minutes. When you are done, say: “I bless you on your path. Hao. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Gong song, gong song, gong song.”

When there are world events that adversely affect certain areas of the world, it almost seems wrong to be continuing with one’s usual daily uneventful activities. There certainly is no way that if you were to start “suffering’ that it would improve their situation.

We can help on two levels, the physical and the spiritual. The internet makes it very easy to contribute money or things to the relief effort. As with all things on the internet though, you need to make sure the money is actually going to those you intend. In Things You Can Do Spiritual Practices Including Earth Events there is a technique to include the area and people of concern in your regular spiritual practices. This is very useful as most of our lives are already full to the brim with time commitments. The additional wording before your spiritual practices takes very little of your time.

It is especially important that you no not miss your spiritual practices at this time. It is one of the most useful things you can do to help current world concerns. Individual stress aggravates the stress in communities and spreads out to the country and world. You cannot have world peace without individual peace.

We can easily these days have more things to do then we have time. Or it seems that the things we have to do eliminate time for the things we want to do. You can do some affirmations that can reprogram yourself.

Write out the wording for each affirmation: With any affirmation, make sure that it is worded in the positive. Do not use words like “no,” “not,” “never,” and “without.” Some affirmations that can be used by everyone include: “I enjoy whatever I am doing.” “I see the humor in life’s situations.” “I make wise decisions about how to use my time so that I have time for myself.” Say in out loud three times while circling your heart clockwise with your right hand (starting at your right tit, you will move up and then to the left). If you meditate, do the affirmations at the end of your meditation program. Otherwise, do them before going to sleep. Do them every day for three months. Then do them once a week.

It is easy to take for granted the things that family members regularly do that contribute to the running of the household. They may do ten things a day that help, but forget to do one. Then we latch onto the one that was forgotten rather than complementing those which were done. If you forget to thank them before going to sleep, then do it early in the next day’s routine.

Sometimes it is beneficial to swap chores. It can be for a day, a week or a month. If you see the other person is getting swamped, you can take up the slack for a day or two. I always feel especially pampered when my husband cooks for me when I am busy.

When our bodies run out of fuel, our emotions become less stable. Things irritate us that should just be something to take care of. We snap at people we basically love. So eating regularly is not just a benefit to your self, it is also a benefit to those you interact with.

There are things to consider the next time you find yourself saying, “This is the first thing I have eaten in 6 hours (or all day or since this morning).” Figure out what contributed to not taking regular nourishment. Maybe you started in on something before eating and then just went from that task to another. Do you feel somehow “righteous” because you ate less or sacrificed eating time to do something for someone else? When you were planning your day, did you remember to include time to stop and eat? It can be a different thing on different days.

Eating regularly is one of the best gifts you can give yourself both emotionally and physically and also give those who interact with you. If you have a friend or spouse who tends to not eat regularly, see if there is something you can do to help them take the time to eat every 2-3 hours.

What we keep track of and put attention on gets take care of. It may seem like an obvious statement, but we often forget its simplicity in helping us accomplish a goal. If you find yourself wanting to do something, but it never or rarely happens, then consider making a chart where you can keep track of daily activity that works toward that goal. If you keep saying that you will get more exercise, then have a column for each exercise you do or want to do. There could be a column for walking (include time shopping and cleaning), stretching, something aerobic, something muscle building, and the total time for the day. Then write down the minutes you spend on each activity and the day’s total. Then compliment or reward yourself for each thing you write down.

Exercise programs are often encouraged for overall health. However, it appears that the time necessary to achieve benefits can be much less than the 30 minutes a day generally advocated. Programs of only 5-15 minutes three times a week have been shown to give great benefits. The 4 Hour Body gives several examples of routines that can be short but give great results. Setting aside 30 minutes every day can be daunting. The advantage of only committing to 5-15 minutes several times a week is that then you will actually do it.

It is easy to develop habitual ways of reacting which do not actually achieve one’s goal. Magical thinking is believing that you can follow the same interaction patterns but get a different result.

If you have something you would like to be different in a relationship, look at how both of you feel ten to thirty minutes after your interaction discussing it. Do you both feel ok? Do one or the other of you feel unsettled in some way? Then consider where you are in a week or a month. Has anything changed about the issue that was discussed? If either the immediate result or the long term result are not satisfactory, then start playing different scenarios in your mind to see if another approach would bring better short term and long term results.

If you find your thoughts about another person always seem to judge their behavior in some way, then they will feel judged even if you do not say anything. Since none of us likes to feel that we are being “judged,” this causes a constant underlying tension in the emotional relationship. The quirk in the nature of judging is that quite often we either find ourselves doing the same behavior or have ourselves been judged for doing it in the past. It is like the fundamentalist preachers who rail against homosexuality and are “caught” in the same behavior themselves. So it is very precarious to judge a behavior. You are almost certain to find yourself doing it. So how do you stop the cycle of judging? One step is to do the forgiveness technique for whatever and who ever you are judging. Also, when you find yourself thinking a judgmental thought, say, “Perfect child of God, over and out.” If you find yourself doing the judged behavior, see the humor of it, and then bless yourself the same way, “Perfect child of God, over and out.”

One of the insidious things about our modern lives is the way more and more things start to fall into the “must be done” category. This takes away from time for spiritual endeavors and relaxation. See what is occupying your to do list and see where there may be possibilities of simplifying or changing priorities. It could be that you may need to change your spending habits in order to shorten your required work time. Also see where something may be taking up time, but when you look back on that time, it did not accomplish what you consider to be satisfying on some level.

One of the quirks of the way our bodies work is that when we miss a meal, we will be initially hungry, and then the feeling of hunger goes away. However, if we do not eat regularly, then it causes wild swings in our blood sugar levels. This is both very bad for our system and can be a contributor to diabetes. It is also bad for our emotional stability. Thus you must use your mind to overrule your body saying, “I am not hungry.”

The real key is when you feel slightly irritable when someone asks when the last time you ate was. If you know that it has been three hours since you ate something, then eat even if you “do not feel hungry.” There probably was a time of hunger that you ignored. The best thing, of course, is to eat at the time of hunger, instead of trying to do one more thing.

Fast carbs are carbohydrates that the body assimilates very quickly and which are quickly used up. They strain the pancreas, leading to diabetes, and cause emotional highs when consuming them and then emotional and physical lows when they wear off. Fast carbs include refined sugars and grains, most desserts, breads, crackers, and juices. Most fast carbs were not in the diets of people a hundred years ago.

The slow carb diet eliminates fast carbs six days a week with one “binge” day when anything goes. One of the best slow carbs is beans. Both traditional Mexican and Indian meals generally have beans in them. By including beans in several of your meals each day you get the benefit of fiber and help stabilize the emotional ups and downs of fast carbs.

Both children and adults will get upset to try and get their way. The problem with giving them what they want when they are upset is that it reinforces that behavior. Once the upset chemicals start flowing in the body, they cannot usually be turned off right away.

It is best to set up the guidelines about what will happen when they get upset sometime when they are not upset. Make it clear that you are willing to discuss their concerns and desires, but will not do it when they are upset. It must be clear that they will not get what they want while they are acting out. Set up a prearranged signal, it can be a particular gesture or a phrase. (The gesture or phrase should be something you do not ordinarily use; a little silliness is ok such as, “There she blows!”)

The signal will mean
1) I know you are upset,
2) I will be glad to listen to you when you can talk about it calmly, and
3) I will not engage in further discussion of it at this time. Then you can use the active listening techniques when you discuss it later. (See Things You Can Do Relationships Do You Understand the Issue?)

There is a computer program that seems to be able to affect underlying emotional and physical issues. It is called SRC4U. (Spiritual Realtime Corrections 4 You. Website www.SRC4YOU)

Its effectiveness shows that disruptive vibrations get locked into the body’s field and can be neutralized by sending other vibrations. The program does not send any physical vibrations, but the program accesses a data base of over several hundred thousand defined vibrations from various healing modalities such as acupuncture points and meridians, Bach flower remedies, and positions from various schools of yoga, tai chi and qi gong.

The intention of the programmer seems to activate the various vibrations when the program calls for them. Then the intention of the person using the program influences what vibrations are called and to whom they are sent. It shows the power of intention. It serves as a reminder that whatever technique we use, it will be much more powerful when our intention is precise and directed. This is especially true for the techniques using soul song.

Your messages and their soul songs can be the basis of a powerful relaxation technique. It will dissolve stress and expand your consciousness.
1) Read Your Answer
2) Do ONE Start of these 3:
    a) LONG START 8 minutes
        Preparation and CHERUB Soul Song
Listen to this the first time, to activate it in your consciousness. Then you may use as time allows - I like to do it at least once a week. Press the PLAY button below.

3) PLAY Your Answer's soul song.
    After listening with eyes closed, sit for 1-5 minutes. When you are aware that your mind is thinking about something, think a few of any soul song syllables a few times, and soon your mind will spontaneously start thinking about something else. When you become aware that you are thinking about something else, either think the soul song syllables again or go to the next step.

4) You may do any of the following:
    a) Press PLAY again for Your Answer's soul song and repeat the 1-5 minutes of silence in Step 3. You can do this several times.
b) Click the angel button to Ask Again. If you Ask Again, read the answer, then press the PLAY button for that message and repeat the 1-5 minutes of silence in Step 3.
    c) Continue with a meditation practice of your own.

End     When you are done, go to Step 5: Come Out Slowly.
To begin with, it is probably best to not exceed 20 minutes after doing one of the START sequences.

5) Come out Slowly. 7 minutes
Safety first! Though you are thinking in this process, your whole body has slowed down. If you get up quickly, you can feel irritated and may find yourself snapping at people you love. The first 3 minutes are coming out gradually and then there are reintegration and grounding techniques.

Listen to this "Come Out Slowly" recording the first time few times. After you are familiar with it, you can do it slightly faster on your own.

Hand Positions can add power to your practice. You can do the Body Power hand position from the Listening Techniques below or go to Meditation Mudras for other positions you can put your hands in while doing this technique. These hand positions increase the "Body Power." You may even be able to feel the energy flow from your fingertips. You may switch between any of these hand positions while doing the practice.

CHERUB Activation CD
    This CD provides several versions of a relaxation technique that incorporates all of these steps so you do not have to press a PLAY button at various stages. One version uses 7 Song Songs. However, current technology does not allow the CD to have Your Answer's soul song.

Soul Song Listening Instructions

The Ask an Angel Soul Songs are one to two minutes long. You will receive the maximum benefit from listening to the soul song if you do the following activations:

Soul Power Activation Request:  "Dear Soul, Mind, Body, genes, epigenome and history of _________________ (list any friends or family members you want be included and Mother Earth) and myself, I love you. You have the ability to receive a Soul Song blessing of love and light . Do a good job. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Body Power Activation:   While listening, put your left palm a couple of inches from your heart with the fingers pointing to the right and the palm down. The right hand palm goes near the tips of the fingers of the left hand with the palm facing left and the fingers pointing straight up. You can also dance, moving your hands as the spirit moves you.

Mind Power Activation: Visualize a golden light ball slowly spinning around you or your area of concern.

Sound Power Activation:   The soul song activates "sound power." You can also hum or sing along. Harmony is always fun.

Every once in a while, surprising information comes about something that you thought you understood. In the last course with Master Sha he mentioned in passing that one of the best ways to help financial blessings flow to you is to do soul dance. So now, the advice is not only to listen to soul song and sing or hum along, but also to move and dance to the soul song. As with soul song, this is not a function directed by your mind. Just let the movements flow. You can do it sitting and just move your torso, head and arms. Even better – stand and move as your space allows.

Remember to do the “Hello” greeting: “Dear my soul, mind and body. I love you! You have the ability to move in ways that will heal and transform my ____________________. Do a good job. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Dear Divine, please come dance in my body. Thank you, thank you, thank you.” One of the great joys of the Soul Light Era is that the major tools for our advancement in all areas of life are singing and dancing.

For the Relationship and Forgiveness soul songs, before listening to the soul song say something like this:

Dear Soul, Mind, Body, genes and history of _________________ (name person to be forgiven, to forgive you, or person with whom you want a relationship blessed), I love you. Please come and receive a healing blessing of love and light from this soul song. Do a good job. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

After listening, you can invite them to stay for a soul conference about a particular issue. Remember that this is a conversation and both souls get to state their needs, desires, concerns and irritations. This can be done with a whole group of people as well as with individuals.

When done say, " I bless you on your path. Gong song, gong song, gong song. " "Gong song" is Chinese for "respectfully return."
