My favorite suggestion amongst the 6 in the article was to consume hot liquid like chicken soup and herbal tea. Studies have shown this has an anti-inflammatory effect and can loosen a stuffy nose. Also the ingredients that go into making the chicken soup can have vitamins and nutrients that may have anti-oxidants. Here is an <a href="https://www.health.com/chicken-soup-health-benefits-8422812">article published in January 2024.</a> on chicken soup. Next I asked her if she had any eucalyptus essential oil or a rub to help with congestion. I would put this eucalyptus essential oil in a diffuser to help with congestion especially at night. She said she didn't.have any. I then sent her instructions on <a href="https://www.verywellhealth.com/steam-inhalation-for-cold-and-sinus-5213591">steam inhalation</a>.

When I pose these questions to myself, I'm essentially telling my subconscious mind to look for answers and evidence that support this positive reality. This process helps me reprogram my thought patterns, override any limiting beliefs, and encourages a more optimistic and growth-oriented mindset. Ultimately, it leads to personal transformation and success in my life.

The fruit trees were blooming, the grasses lush and green and daffodils emerged lifting their yellow faces up to the sun. The giant oak tree had grown so much that its leafy branches extended to block much of my friend's scenic view out the window. In the image above you can see the oak tree has covered half the window. I could relate to having a view blocked as I have had to make peace with structures blocking my view. One was a carport which blocked my favorite view of the alfalfa fields and the next obstacle was a tractor shed blocking the view of the mountain range. I just made peace with it. Losing our peace is not worth it. Our level of peace is important to our well-being and the well-being of the world. There is a song about peace. "Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me."</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>Let there be peace on earth</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>and let it begin with me.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><b></b></i></span></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><b> </b></i></span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i></i></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Oddly enough, just a few hours after declaring how important our level of peace was, I became angry over something that triggered an old issue from the past. I lost my serenity, my peace of mind so much so I could not sleep. My mind was throwing darts. I hadn't had that kind of anger for years. "Where is this coming from ?" I asked myself. I tried every modality I knew of to bring peace to my mind and body. I let my mind wander to positive images like flowers blooming and birds making their nests and the orioles returning after the cold winter. I felt a shift and became willing to open my heart to peace. By the afternoon I had softened a bit but I still felt stressed. I knew it would unfold naturally. I had faith I would find peace again. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>I had faith I would find peace again.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><b></b></i></span></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><b> </b></i></span></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: large;">Bandit, my dog, barked. I looked out the kitchen window to see one of my neighbors had driven into my driveway. She got out of her car and I came out to greet her. I had not seen her outdoors for months after her husband passed. She looked so healthy and reached out her hand holding some mail the postman put in her mail box by mistake. How sweet that was and how good to see her outdoors. She looked the picture of health. We talked and laughed for awhile. I found we had a lot in common. Both from California. We talked about how our area of Utah had changed. She was expecting family to arrive from Illinois and stay a few days. I was so happy to hear that. I thanked her for bringing us our mail. As I came indoors I felt boyant, uplifted. I had been given my peace back. Thank you God. My neighbor was the angel that delivered our mail and my peace of mind. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>My neighbor was the angel</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i></i></span></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i> </i></span></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">My eyes lifted to the kitchen window again. I noticed my neighbor across the road was outdoor picking weeds and the grasses that bring foxtails. I wanted to dig up more of my carrots and bring them to his goats. I walked over and asked him if I could feed the carrots to his goats, He said "Sure anytime !" </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>Harvesting carrots....Deliver a dozen eggs...</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">On my way back I thought before harvesting the carrots I would deliver a dozen fresh eggs to my next door neighbor. My young hens are laying everyday so I had enough to give her. I called her to ask if I could bring them over and she said "Yes, come on over." I knocked on her front door. She said, " I have something for you. Come in." I took off my shoes and went in. She took the carton of eggs and as usual opened the carton and admired them. I followed her into the kitchen and she picked up a ziplock bag full of a variety of Taylor's tea. "My daughter gave me a whole set of these teas and I want to share them with you." My eyes opened wide and I smiled and thanked her. " I know how you love tea" she added. She pointed out a large 9"x13" pan on her counter filled with uncooked elbow macaroni. "Would you like some macaroni and cheese ?" she asked. "Oh yes, I love your macaroni and cheese." I answered. She told me she was making this for a potluck at the church after Easter Service. " I will bring it over when it is done" </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><blockquote><span><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">I practically skipped home. </span></i><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><blockquote><br /></blockquote></i></span></blockquote><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i></i></b></span><p></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">By this time I felt very uplifted. I practically skipped home. The chain made a clinking sound as the garden gate opened. The shovel sunk into the thawed soil and the carrots easily lifted out. I washed them in a big bucket of cold water then carried them over to the goats. It was something I had wanted to do but the cold temps, snow, and strong winds kept me inside. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>First Came The Willingness To Receive Peace</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><b> </b></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span>First came the willingness to receive the gift of peace, to open my heart, then out of nowhere a</span><span>ll these gifts, all these opportunities to share came flowing to me.</span><span> It felt wonderful. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>Easter Sunday</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"></span><blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"></span></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-size: x-large;"><blockquote><br /></blockquote></span></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: large;">Easter Sunday arrived the next morning.

As a child my mother enchanted me with her stories about how the faeries held tea parties in the garden and sat on mushrooms. When I see mushrooms on the lawn or in my garden or a forest I imagine, in my mind's eye, those little faeries sitting around in a circle giggling and relaxing in the evening. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The history and legends of faeries are fascinating and go deeper into all the nature elementals including the Mermaids, Selkies, Sylphs, Gnomes, Tree People, Leprechauns, and more. </span><br />

<i><span style="font-size: large;">It is said that every blade of grass has an angel hovering
over it, calling to it, saying: “Grow!” The instant the angel calls forth a
single urge to grow, it fades away. In the next moment another angel appears
over the blade of grass, and it calls out, “Grow!” It too then instantly
disappears, while yet another and another and another angel appears, fresh in
every moment, urging the grass to Grow!</span></i></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Thus, every single blade of grass has untold trillions of
angels attending it, urging it to live. So too every leaf, every living being,
and indeed every atom has its angels urging it to move, to fly, to be whatever
it is. Yes, even every wave, every vibration, every nuance of this universe has
its mystery which can be described in angelic terms.</span></i></blockquote>

<i><span style="font-size: large;">Now you begin to realize that there are possibilities for
understanding the world to which you were completely blind, because you
absolutely believed your construct about how things are. Suddenly the
incredible possibility arises that your construct may not be the absolute
truth, and there is another way of seeing things. Then, in the birth of new
possibilities you grow and are pulled forward, as new ways of seeing your life
and the world appear. Then, you look back of where you’ve been with gratitude
at the urgent, persistent whisper of growth.</span></i></blockquote>

She couldn't sleep. Her mind was filled with thoughts and she couldn't relax. Sound familiar? We all experience a sleepless night from time to time but when it continues over a long period of time we begin to lose our natural bearings in every aspect of our life. Her concentration was impaired, her immune system was challenged, she became grouchy, out of sorts and had bouts of depression. Abby wasn't herself. She made an appointment for her general practitioner.<br /><br /></span><div></div><span style="font-size: large;">She came home with a handful of pills to help with depression. The pills caused her legs to become numb, her hands tremble and she experienced dizziness and had to sit to avoid fainting or falling. The side effects of the pills were worse than her original complaint. She returned to the doctor and told him of her reaction to the pills. The doctor slid over to the counter, pulled open a drawer and took out several packages of samples.</span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb-czOGrYcgB8d9yLCKWUEKPQ_gXVVfAJjgPKc-EIscu4vffgY8OjclxJCDVzZfvvZViiLkG4tiV2jR8JJpIPn8Huu-zyQlm1XHQlkNzdU-3SrabnPL-1i490B0Hjt8s3w3ZReLjXzih4o/s1600/P1150880.JPG" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb-czOGrYcgB8d9yLCKWUEKPQ_gXVVfAJjgPKc-EIscu4vffgY8OjclxJCDVzZfvvZViiLkG4tiV2jR8JJpIPn8Huu-zyQlm1XHQlkNzdU-3SrabnPL-1i490B0Hjt8s3w3ZReLjXzih4o/w400-h300/P1150880.JPG" tt="true" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">samples of pills for insomnia<br />from the doctor's drawer</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Abby was shocked at the next batch of pills and asked, "Is this is a hit and miss type of thing?". The doctor rephrased it by saying well, we just need to try some other medicine.<br /><br /></span><div></div><span style="font-size: large;"> Abby decided not to take the pills. Her friend Betsy gladly offered to give her a full body acupressure treatment. Betsy had taken a 16 hour course in Full Body Acupressure Treatment. Acupressure is similar to Acupuncture without the needles. Firm gentle pressure is applied to special areas on the body to cleanse accumulated stress and restore balance to the energy systems within the body. Abby felt immediate results. She was so relaxed at her first treatment she fell comfortably asleep. She received 4 treatments in 2 weeks. Abby looked forward to each session.<br /><br />Betsy also taught Abby's husband to do a simple treatment on Abby's hand at night when they went to bed. Abby would lie down by her husband and raise her nearest hand over to her husband who lovingly took her hand and laid it on a soft pillow over his belly. He then began to perform this simple acupressure treatment. Abby fell asleep after 7 of the 12 points. Her husband continued till he was done with all 12. Every night he helped her. Abby was sleeping through the night. Her husband found that doing the treatment relaxed him as well. Abby also learned how to do these 12 points on herself.<br /><br /></span><div></div><span style="font-size: large;">This is a true story. And what a beautiful story. This therapy helped Abby with all her symptoms. I want to show you also how to help yourself , a friend or a family member.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Important *</b></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Always consult your general practitioner if you are seriously ill. This article is not to diminish the value of conventional healthcare. This report is to educate and reveal the wonderful opportunities we have to chose from. It is my hope that patients ask for safe alternative drug-free therapies just like we ask for better products and services in everyday life. It is time to incorporate the whole body in what we are experiencing as dis-ease.</span></span></div></div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span style="color: black;"></span></span><br /><div><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"></span><br /></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><strong>WHEN <span>NOT</span> TO USE ACUPRESSURE Note: There are other safe alternative therapies that can be used in these cases to bring relief to insomnia.</strong></span><br /><br /></span><div></div><ol><li><span style="font-size: large;">Do not apply acupressure to any open cuts or where there is swelling or inflammation.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">Avoid scar tissue, boils, blisters, rashes and burns.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">Do not apply pressure on varicose veins.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">If the recipient has high blood pressure or epilepsy do not apply pressure to the top of the head.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">Do not apply pressure to elderly, young children, or those with arthritis or osteoporosis. I use acupressure on my 12 year old grandson and he loves it.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">If a person has a serious illness like cancer or heart disease. have them obtain a doctor's approval before giving any bodywork.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">If a person has a fever or any kind of infection, from cold or flu to an ear infection, do not work on them until the infection is gone. Acupressure stimulates the the flow of the circulatory and lymphatic systems and can spread the infection.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">This does not imply to these specific hand points. But for a full body treatment read further. If a woman is pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant, make sure of the areas to avoid.

It is important to trim the thumb and index nails. Be sure to carefully gage how much pressure the recipient can handle by asking "How is this? Is it too hard?" etc. acupressure points are places along the energy channels of the body that are close to the surface. Press straight down using the tip of the finger.

Practice on an orange or lemon.</span></em></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><ul><li><em><span style="font-size: large;">When pressing on these acupressure points the recipient will know if you are on target because the point has a definite tight sensation to it.

Begin your pressure very, very gently like a butterfly landing on the point, then firmly press down. Ask the recipient if the pressure is too hard or too soft. Hold each point for 15-30 seconds. Use slow complete breaths to measure the time. 3 slow breaths are usually 15 seconds. Lift your finger off the point very gently.

<span><span class="text_exposed_show" face=""helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline;"><br />I learned new ways of living and each new response to life was difficult because the old ways had become a habit.</span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span class="text_exposed_show" face=""helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline;"><br />Every time I changed an old pattern of belief or thought, it was like I was having to walk through a brick wall.<br />Waking up in the morning and getting through my day seemed as hopeless as walking through a brick wall.<br />But these were only my fearful perceptions.<br />In time, with practice, I was running free with so much of life before me.</span></span><br />
<span><span class="text_exposed_show" face=""helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline;"><br />Suddenly, I could not see that brick wall which I had painted in my mind. I saw only endless possibilities. I could see that for every response I made, life responded back to me, in magical ways. </span></span><br />

The forest was damp with mist. I was afraid of slipping. I stopped at the top of the trail</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I placed my hand on my third eye and spoke these switchwords with the intention of calling forth help and to open my mind to have faith.</span><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="background-color: #93c47d; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"> <b>TOGETHER DIVINE FAITH </b></span></div>

</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<span></span><span>After uttering the words, I instantly felt I was not alone. Together with the divine I had confidence to make my way down the mountain. Where before it looked to difficult to walk, I could now clearly see stable places where I could place my feet without slipping. I felt relaxed and confident, at one with the earth. </span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">It was a magical feeling throughout my whole being. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Switchwords have a mysterious feeling to them. They work better than affirmations because they pass by the anaytical mind and straight to the subconscious. You can say them silently or aloud, write them in a journal, write them on a bottle of water, and you can chant them. Think of them at the beginning of meditation. Here are some resource where you can begin to learn more about switchwords. The Internet is also full of information. Give it a try if you are inspired. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

There came a time in my late 30's when I needed to quiet my thoughts. My head was so busy it was hard to relax or sit still. I could only look at magazines with pictures because I couldn't even focus enough to read. My life had become unmanageable, I began meditation with a 12 Step group that practiced 5 minutes of silent meditation in their Sunday meeting. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-large;">Silence and stillness was very uncomfortable at first. My palms would perspire, my heart raced, and my mouth went dry. This does not happen to everyone, of course. What helped me was the group allowed us to focus on the St. Francis Prayer in our book. Slowly my fears of being still, dissolved. In time my mind was became calmer and my body felt more relaxed. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-large;">Meditation became something to look forward to. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-large;"> </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">As my mind became clearer, I was able to memorize the entire St. Francis Prayer " Lord make me a channel of thy peace...". See prayer below. You may recognize this prayer with a a few differences. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><b><u>St Francis Prayer - 12 Step Version</u></b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Lord, make me a channel of thy peace;</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>that where there is hatred, I may bring love;</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness;</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>that where there is discord, I may bring harmony;</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>that where there is error, I may bring truth;</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>that where there is doubt, I may bring faith;</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>that where there is despair, I may bring hope;</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>that where there are shadows, I may bring light;</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>that where there is sadness, I may bring joy.</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted;</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>to understand, than to be understood;</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>to love, than to be loved.</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>For it is by self-forgetting that one finds.</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Amen.</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b><br /></b></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Every Sunday, a person was chosen to read the St. Frances Prayer out loud before our 5 minute meditation. One day I was chosen and recited the prayer by memory. I had come a ways from the person who couldn't read a magazine because her mind was too busy. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">My next adventure was attending a special meditation group that met in a small building on the beach. This group had a silent meditation for 20 minutes! The longer meditation added a whole new dimension to my practice. I was able to reach a new level of deep relaxation. It was this practice that sparked my interest and inspired me to begin seeking a spiritual path.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">I also attended a meditation class open to the public at the beautiful Hsi Lai Buddhist Temple in Hacienda Heights, CA. We were guided to breathe deeply and slowly and on the exhale we would count from 10 down to one equaling 10 breaths. We would inhale then exhale count 10, breathe in then exhale count 9...</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">We were instructed to stop if our minds wandered and begin all over again. I was nervous at first but after practicing a few minutes I began to relax and enjoy the experience. The session began with 3 distinct chimes and ended with them. One night we were lead in a walking meditation in a serpentine formation. I had some deeply profound thoughts, creative visions and experiences during this time. It is different for everyone but the benefits of relaxation is well worth the experience. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Where my thinking was limited before, I now see endless possibilities. My relationship with myself grew and I began to know what I wanted to do in my life.. I grew to love many activities such as Tai Chi. I changed from being a dressmaker and became a Fitness Specialist as a Tai Chi Instructor. I utilized meditation in the beginning of my classes to relax the students minds and bodies. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Thank you for visiting, Deborah's Little Gems</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Until next time,</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Be Well !</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"> You can listen to some easy guided meditations on my <a href="https://deborahslittlegems.blogspot.com/p/meditation.html">Meditation Page. </a> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw0WVF31UicWBBEfEm6c-qkPTpnqU_QVLufZJa-q02DlwPZ8wimogKd8rItorJW6s-Wp00CHVLvcrUzoQVz7KCKbw80x8DNYA6w7NUu0Vx9R51qZ6mlEbtuIR-bnAv-yXmOj5GyKk29w8OH9TistPeLP-P8om87KVIDbPcx-P0b05XqBgFX86dWKr-cg/s799/20191031_150951%20(3)%20FB.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="799" data-original-width="600" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw0WVF31UicWBBEfEm6c-qkPTpnqU_QVLufZJa-q02DlwPZ8wimogKd8rItorJW6s-Wp00CHVLvcrUzoQVz7KCKbw80x8DNYA6w7NUu0Vx9R51qZ6mlEbtuIR-bnAv-yXmOj5GyKk29w8OH9TistPeLP-P8om87KVIDbPcx-P0b05XqBgFX86dWKr-cg/w150-h200/20191031_150951%20(3)%20FB.jpg" width="150" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Deborah Moen</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p>Deborah Moon Moen http://www.blogger.com/profile/10118396036741243136noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6872226589718406230.post-86768988245624316082022-03-01T05:30:00.001-07:002022-03-01T05:30:00.146-07:00Experience Is The Greatest Teacher<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;">I took off the blue tarp I had clamped across the front of the coop to stop the wind and snow from entering. I noticed one of the door latches were unhitched by the strong winds last night. </span><br />

The freshly filled water bucket was set inside the coop, the heat lamp was turned on, and the feed was replenished, along with some very desired dried meal worms, and sunflower seeds. </span><br />

It begins with "Just for today" Just focus on today. It is not necessary to be perfect every day of your life. That creates tension just to think about that. So just for today you can quell your anger, focus on something interesting besides your worry. Be honest. Be Grateful, Be kind and compassionate. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="font-family: times;">You will find many versions of the Reiki Principles but they all express a way of life that can benefit us when practiced. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">The principles may have been inspired by Buddha teachings.

<br />
</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
And out of my mouth came " Dear God please help me or I will die." I wanted to live but didn't know how. Everything I tried was useless. Approaching my problem with the same information tumbling around in my mind, would never be a solution. I needed help. I was in an abusive marriage.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;">
<br />
It is very human to do the same things over and over again and expecting different results. It is like banging your head against a door over and over. My dad had a saying, " Does that hurt? Don't do that!" But these episodes oddly enough become familiar and more comfortable than change.<br />
<br />
</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;">After all, think of it. Who would you be if your were that safe, peaceful happy person with no more worry? This could be a very scary thought. Who would I be then? Lions and and tigers and bears....oh my! And I repeated my mistakes over and over again even though it was progressively more painful. I just kept getting up and dusting myself off and trying again.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
<br />
The time came when the dust no longer brushed off. Stress took it's toll on my body and mind. My head was being bashed against walls and car windows as I tried to escape. My safety was threatened on a daily basis, but now, it was worse. I had lost control of my nervous system and when my husband approached me I would go into convulsions from fear. The light of life within me grew dim.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
<br />
One day I thought I would again try to make everything clean and perfect. Mowed the lawn, cleaned the house and had something special for the husband to eat before he went out to party. I looked really nice too. I wore my favorite light green shirt and black stretch pants. I had everything finished and decided to take a walk. My walk extended farther than usual and I found myself inside the expanse of the high school field. My eyes lifted and gazed at the blue sky and white clouds. Then, all of a sudden, as if someone pushed me from behind, I felt compelled to uttered the words, "Dear God, please help me or I will die". It surprised me and I looked around to see if anyone was there. This was the pivotal moment when I asked for help. <br />
<br />
</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;">That moment on I felt strength not ordinarily my own. 20 years I had been living in fear and in the pain of abusive attacks. That night I saw clearer than I ever did concerning my situation. God had given me the Gift of Faith.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
As I stood in the kitchen that night, there was an amber light shining on me from the north facing window and again I was fortified with clarity. That night, during a usually scolding, I saw that I would never change my husband, only myself. it was such a relief and this truth gave me protection from being harmed.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
<br />
That night I gathered my things and left that marriage forever. I stayed in a Best Western and I just seemed to know it was going to be all right. Every thing I needed for my comfort came along, a home, friends, and even guidance from counselors.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">
My husband sought help from AA via a hospital and I was invited as a family member to attend. I agreed because in my mind I wanted to get my husband well. I had no idea I had was part of the problem. I even attended AA meetings to learn more. Later I attended a few Al-Anon & Codependents Anonymous meetings and bought and read the book by Melody Beattie <span style="font-family: times;"><u>Codependent No More</u></span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"> I also bought her book <u>The Language of Letting Go</u> I carried that book with me and it taught all about how to handle my emotions. The corners of the pages turned dog eared after a while.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="font-size: medium;">A miracle is a change in perception. ~ A Course In Miracles</span></i></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Looking back I feel moved to draw pictures, write poetry and marvel at the miracle of how it all came about that morning and how I was ready to ask for help. Help arrived. Everything I needed showed up and it has been that way ever since. </span></p></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />

It is true. The tapping technique saved my life.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Tapping released my fear and mistrust of doctors. I prided myself in being well for 25 years without medicine. December my llama died and I was stricken with such grief. 3 days later, I developed a severe pain and swelling in my left leg. I perceived it to be a pulled Achilles tendon. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">45 + days later my whole leg began to swell. I knew I had to go to the doctor. My mistrust, fear, and pride was so strong, I was resistant to making an appointment.. Guess what I did ? I tapped. I tapped feeling the fear and tapped longer for more emotions that came up. after about 30 minutes of tapping. In tapping we rate the emtions on a scale of 1-10. I rated from a 10++ . After I tapped a few rounds I was rating the issue down to a 1. I was able to agree to a visit to a local doctor. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The doctor ordered an ultra sound and they discovered I had a blood clot from my mid calf to my mid thigh in the main vein ! I was admitted into the hospital immediately where I was monitored with a blood thinning medicine. I also had a CT scan for clots in my lungs and heart. My lungs were clear and so my heart. However the clot was 2 feet long down the side of my ;eft leg. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I am back to normal. It took 1 year for my body to metabolize the clot. I took no pain meds for this. I used tapping for the pain. They prescribed opiates but I did not get the prescription filled. I did take nice slow walks and increase my activities daily. I tap on my emotions also during this temporary challenge. My grief, fear, and guilt have literally been dissolved. I am very thankful that I learned how to tap. </span></p><p><br /></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: x-large;"> <i><b>My grief, fear, and guilt have literally been dissolved.</b></i></span></blockquote><p></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There are many YouTube videos on tapping and instructions on the Internet.

The temps had warmed up into the 40's and the sun was bright in a clear blue sky. </p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">While Harley rolled onto his back in the crispy brown grass, I began listening to the Praying Medic's <a href="https://prayingmedic.com/2022/02/12/supernatural-saturday-seeing-in-the-spirit/">Supernatural Saturday-Seeing In The Spirit. </a> The Praying Medic, Dave Hayes was sharing his experience with seeing in the spirit as a movie, cartoon or a two dimensional image. It turns out I have been doing this for years but I did not connect it to seeing in the spirit. I just enjoyed it like a movie. As he was explaining how he began seeing in the spirit, I closed my eyes. The movie began. I was flying like a drone over a road. Suddenly a massive rock wall appeared before me. I came to a gentle halt and explored the greatness of this ancient looking wall. I could see dust, the angular shape of the rocks and the cracks. The wall was a red-gold like the earth where I live in Utah</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I told my friend and she asked me what the wall meant. I asked God what the wall meant. In a short while, I received the message like a sudden out of the blue thought which seemed audible, "the walls of Jericho". I did not know what that meant so I looked it up. I have not read the bible but I am learning about the bible through The Praying Medic. Here is what I found while researching The Walls of Jericho.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i> "God is more powerful than walls or things that may seem impossible. God simply told Joshua to have the people to march silently around Jericho for six days, and then, after seven circuits on the seventh day, to shout.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><span style="background-color: #f6b26b;">Though it seemed foolish</span><span style="background-color: #6fa8dc;">,</span> <span style="background-color: #b6d7a8;">Joshua followed God’s instructions to the letter.</span> When the people did finally shout, the massive walls collapsed instantly, and Israel won an easy victory. In fact, <span style="background-color: #ffe599;">God had given the city of Jericho to them before they even began to march around its walls</span> (Joshua 6:2, 16). <span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">It was when the people of God, by faith, followed the commands of God that the walls of Jericho fell down</span> (Joshua 6:20).</i></span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i></i></span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: medium;">This was such a gift for me and many people who are worried about how people are being treated like in Ottowa and other places around the world. The story of the Walls of Jericho has some powerful truths</span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">God is more powerful than any obstacle we perceive with our physical eyes.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;"> Everything we want is already there. God has already given it to us. </span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">Follow those messages those ideas that come out of the blue. If you don't know what they mean raise your face and ask God. </span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">The answers come when you are aligned, That means spend time being quiet and still in tthe presence of God's peace so your thoughts do not drown out the message. </span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">We may feel hog tied not able to help but there is a higher plan even if it looks foolish. </span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">We receive guidance in God's time.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;"> Stay aligned with God's Glory have faith and guidance will come even if it seems not fast enough or not enough.</span></li></ul><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Wow! What a great message! It is jam-packed full of goodies. Glad I listened today to the replay. Dave Hayes is a great teacher. I am very uplifted by this experience. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">Thank you for visiting Deborah's Little Gems</span><p></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYByAoSHTUukKSKQaMr9H20x2UqIJYRtu5yVSQanxP08-iwYaDW0kp3kcSsTOkhHfmOnPHa0lA8uE3MJC0q5YlLXvgQbckp5lM3WonDJ2oZWPOEI_7MUX77m60IHZDuHTWFOvfP1FBm8K2E9vpbwUWO2kq3JBoTgtLoyH1ZKWOr1Zi9H3i4xtKgyM1Qw=s799" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="799" data-original-width="600" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYByAoSHTUukKSKQaMr9H20x2UqIJYRtu5yVSQanxP08-iwYaDW0kp3kcSsTOkhHfmOnPHa0lA8uE3MJC0q5YlLXvgQbckp5lM3WonDJ2oZWPOEI_7MUX77m60IHZDuHTWFOvfP1FBm8K2E9vpbwUWO2kq3JBoTgtLoyH1ZKWOr1Zi9H3i4xtKgyM1Qw=w150-h200" width="150" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Deborah Moen</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Until next time </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Be Well !</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">You may also like to read these posts</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://deborahslittlegems.blogspot.com/2015/08/how-to-get-into-present-moment-101.html">How To Get Into the Present Moment 101</a></span></p><p><a href="https://deborahslittlegems.blogspot.com/2022/02/how-i-used-tapping-after-bad-fall.html">How I used Tapping After A Bad Fall</a></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I am affiliated with the Free Tapping World Summit.

I snagged my pant leg on a fallen tree and fell face down. It happened so hard and so fast I was disoriented. I sat on the forest floor and I couldn't get up. I remembered to use the tapping technique on certain areas of my face and collar bone. I was able to sit on the ground and tap. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being extremely challenged) I was a 10. I did several rounds of the tapping and brought myself down to a 2. I did a few more rounds and I was able to stand. I finished the hike and I had no bruising or soreness in the following days. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I have used tapping for injuries, stress, fear, and anger. Veterans with PTSD have been helped by tapping. Phobias such as fear of heights, flying, public speaking are wiped out with tapping. Tapping reduces, pain, bruising, bleeding, and speeds healing.

I could gather some wood and paint flags that represent the countries around the world that were bravely standing up for their human rights. I planned on displaying them outside in the garden to bring about awareness and support. Thousands upon thousands of people around the world are demonstrating their desire to end restrictions that are forced upon us in ways that take away our human rights. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> I loved the idea and hopped out of bed to get my chores done.

<span style="font-size: medium;"> I will share with you what my Feng Shui Master taught me about water blessings and then I will give you a simple water blessing that you can follow.<br />
<br />
<span>It was Spring of 2004. Before my gallbladder surgery, my Feng Shui Master visited me with a special bottle of water. He told me to write the word, "Healing" on the b</span>ottle and cover it with a green cloth and make the <a href="http://www.dwij.org/forum/cerritomni/r10_lang.html">Three Secret Reinforcements</a> over the bottle then let it infuse over night. He told me it would change the molecular structure of the water. Then he instructed me to take sips of it during the day and when it was down to about 2" to fill it back up with distilled water. This was his way to bless the water. I also took affirmations with me to the hospital and used them. I even took them into the operating room with me.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>Immediately after my surgery</span><span> they gave me the initial pain medication, however, after that I did not need any pain relief. My tissue healed quickly and on my check up with the doctor he was amazed when he saw my healed incisions. His eyes opened wide and he took a few steps backwards. He said, "Well let's say you heal faster than most.</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span><br /></span><span>Here is the Simple Water Blessing</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;">
<br />
</span><ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"> Place your hands on the bottled water or acknowledge the water with your gaze. Hold the image of your desired outcome in your mind. You may feel a smile coming onto your face. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Say " I love you water. Bless me with your love." The water responds immediately to your loving words and your image of your desired outcome. Also the water molecules in your body respond to this loving image and your loving words.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">You can write the words <i>love</i> or <i>healing</i> on a piece of masking tape and place the tape on the bottle. You may also prepare a whole days worth of bottled water </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"> Place bottle on a green surface, paper, plate or wrap in green fabric with the intention that green is a healing color. If you associate another color with healing or love by all means use it. The more your ceremony has meaning for you the more effective it is.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span>It is important to note that our bodies and our environment are made up of about 72% water. If we know that words, thoughts, and emotions can change the water then how would it change how we speak to each other or to ourselves? </span><br />
<span><br /></span><span><b><br /></b></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><b>To charge the water </b></span><br />
<br />
</span><ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">simply acknowledge the intelligence within each molecule </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">be appreciative, loving and respectful as you drink it. Convey love, abundance, health, and peace.</span></li>
</ol>
<div>

<br /><span style="font-size: large;">
This little bundle of nerves in back of your brain is responsible for seeking out what is on your mind and filtering out what you do not yet know or have no concern over. </span><br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
</div>
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="182" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/y8tept6G2C8?rel=0" width="300"></iframe><br />
<br /><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">
Not too many people know about this physical component of how things come into our awareness.. Animals also have this which helps them find what they are hunting for. <br />
</span><ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> when we see things that match what we thought or saw just the day before</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> have an answer come to us easily, or see that perfect gift on a commercial we been searching for </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> notice a friend in a crowd we have been thinking of. </span></li>
</ul><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> A part of these experiences are what we may call synchronicity, coincidence, serendipity. We have discovered this physical component of the RAS we can now assume that it is certainly a part within a universal plan to assist us in <em>effortlessly</em> discovering the very thing we are seeking. That is why it is best to let go of the outcome. We attract what we focus on. If we pursue looking for these hidden treasures and find they are "not there" you may focus on that they are not there and this is what will reflect back to us until we let go and allow it to come naturally. It is always a delightful surprise which seems comes out of the blue. Our body, mind, spirit, emotions and our 5 senses are woven into the fabric of our eternal life and work together to bring us our experiences. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />At any one time there exists opposites of good and bad, positive and negative, dark and light. When we are focused our interests, and positive aspects Reticular Activation System (RAS) seeks out more of that. The opposite is true as well. We can focus on abuse, disease, or poverty or we can focus on our abundance, wellness, opportunities and the good aspects of our relationships. Each of us has a choice and opportunity to have a good life.<br /><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /> Back in 1991 I began to notice what was dominantly on my mind began showing up in my reality. One family I was friends with had an orange Volkswagen with a grey fender. I began noticing them everywhere! I became aware of these objects or people or opportunities showing up in my experience and began writing about them, photographing and chronicling the occurrences. I have tubs full of these testimonies in which I was going to reveal to the world. I called this phenomenon "The Orange Volkswagen Theory".<br />
<br />
The RAS, that bundle of nerves in the back of our brain moves before us vibrationally in every movement of our life seeking what we are aligned with. <br /><br />

</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">MY WELL-BEING EXISTS IN THE PRESENT MOMENT</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When I am anxious, sad, frustrated, angry, or negative, or scampering about like a hamster gathering nuts for winter, my mind is drifting to a past event or charging forward into the future like a wild horse. I'll say it again, my well-being exists in the present moment. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">How to get into the present moment? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You ground yourself:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Stop what you are doing </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">feel your feet on the ground</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> notice the temperature of the room on your skin</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> feel your breath go in and out of your body</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> notice something in the space around you like furniture or the color of paint on the walls. If it is outdoors do the same. sit down, feel your feet on the ground, feel if it is warm or cool weather, feel your breathe flow in and out, look at the sky, the shape of the clouds, and notice the landscape the trees and plants. It is just that easy. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />The present moment is the only place where you have the power to change. When you are regretting the past or worried about the future you are not all there. You are shutting off the good available to you. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Take a several deep breaths</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Ground yourself</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My First Present Moment Experience</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was on 4 day vacation in the San Bernardino Mountains, CA. We had rented a lovely cabin by a lake. While unloading the car, I began to worry about what a drag it will be to have to pack up and go home. There I was in this beautiful environment and instead of enjoying it and breathing in the fresh air, I was complaining and dreading the future. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> " Just stop", I said to myself. I had decided right there and then to practice what I had just learned in my Huna class. I trotted myself into the cabin to find a comfy place to sit, and begin my<i> in the present moment </i>practice.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: red; font-size: large;"><i>Important ! Every time. As soon as you become aware of worry, fear or regret you know you are either in the past or the future. This is only an illusion. It is time to take action and get into the present moment.</i> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is how I got into the present moment.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Inside the cabin, I chose an area near the stairway leading up to the loft. I sat down there on a large ottoman. I took a breath and I must say it felt a bit weird and I wondered if this exercise would help me at all. I looked around the room and began identifying everything in the environment around me. I began with the wall and its color and texture. I continued to name each feature in that room one at a time. It was very easy. </span></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">the rug was an unusual pale blue and luxurious </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">my seat was comfy and soft as a marshmallow and the upholstery was a pretty pale salmon color</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">pillows on the couch looked so soft and they were different colors and textures</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">stairway looked mysterious I wondered what it would be like to go up them.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">my feet were on the ground</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">my hands in my lap</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">I can feel my breath flowing in and out</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">By this time I noticed I was calm and content. I was in the present moment ! I now had a tool to use anywhere, anytime that would transport me into the present. I had a great time on that vacation. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The more I used this tool the more I was able to train myself to switch into the present moment where I have power over my life. Worry and fear was a habit I had developed over the years. That was twenty years ago but I still practice present moment awareness.</span><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;">While you bring yourself back into the present moment:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Breathe in and breathe out. Breathe in and breathe out. Breathe in and breathe out. And notice how that feels.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Remember</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> In order to stop that busy head of ours, we must pause for a moment and turn our attention inward to our experience that is happening at that moment. It could be objects or as you get used to practicing try sensing your hands. Use the tool. Bring yourself into the moment where you have access to solutions, guidance and happiness. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You can do this anywhere.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">In the workplace</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">On the bus</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">In bed</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Do it In the park</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anywhere</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i> It works if you work it and it won't if you don't. </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> You will notice it gets easier with practice.</span></div>

Our loving hand goes right onto the back.</span></p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br />In our body are <em>strange flows and fluids</em> that reflect calm, fear, pain and other dis-ease in our body and mind. We can feel these rhythms through the 70,000 sensors in our hands. The only thing is that many of us do not know they are there. There are qualities you may feel when your hands lie along the spine. Movements like choppy, smooth, sluggish, excited, aggressive and shy. </span><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br />Cranial Sacral Balancing gives us a system that has hand positions with very relaxed light touch. There are 70,000 sensors in the hands. Place your hand along the spine and eventually you will feel the flow and rhythm of cranial and sacral fluids.<br /><br /> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">I took a Cranial Sacral Balancing course where we were able to practice on each other. We laid our hands on specific areas of the body. One student was laying hands on my knees. She jumped back as if shocked by electric current and I immediately began to shiver with cold. The instructor came over to see what had happened. I told her my body felt cold like when I was recovering from Gallbladder surgery. She said I was releasing anesthesia from my tissue. Every cell in our body holds memory of our experiences. This is a great therapy for releasing cell memory and trauma within the body. I found the practice of Cranial Sacral Balancing to be very relaxing. <br /><br /><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><strong>Practical Use</strong></span></div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /><br />One night my grandson awoke from a nightmare. He came into my room shaking with fear. After he shared the dream with me we returned to his bed. I helped him relax. He turned over to the wall and I placed my hands lightly, over his spine. I placed one hand on the top of the spine and the other one on the lower spine near the tail bone. <span>I felt a splashing sensation with high sustained peaks going up then down. It reminded me of a dolphin jumping out of the ocean. The wave went up and splashed under one hand and then moved down the spine, splashing into the other hand. It did not take long for the rhythm to slow down. It smoothed out like a soft wave on the shore gently flowing from one end of the spine to the other. My Grandson fell peacefully asleep. You can do this also for someone who needs balancing or calming. </span></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span>The techniques I have learned, the sensations and communication coming from the body have opened a whole new understanding of the body. After taking this class, I am aware of more sensations and I have a calm relaxed feeling while I practice Reiki or any healing modality. I now know the benefits of taking time on each area. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /><br /><span><strong><br /></strong></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span><strong><br /></strong></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span><strong>Related Articles</strong></span><br /><br /><span><a href="http://stillpointbalance.com/sedona-massage-cranial-sacral-therapy.html"><span>Stillpoint Living...

<span style="background-color: white;"><span face=""helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #1d2129;">When I was 6 years old I remember having this momentary desire to learn all I could about the universe. I wanted to know how it worked. I felt that would be the ultimate to know as much as I could about this. Quite a unique desire for such a young girl but that desire manifested and I continue to realize more and more about the universe.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span face=""helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #1d2129;">I knew this reflective response from the universe was in place even before I learned of The Secret and Law of Attraction. I just discovered it on my own. Just happened to have a nice couple who befriended me after my divorce and they had an orange VW Volkswagen Beetle. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span face=""helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #1d2129;"> I began seeing orange VW Beetles everywhere ! </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span face=""helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #1d2129;">I called this phenomena the <i>Orange Volkswagen Theory. </i></span></span><br />

I knew about and practiced creative visualization through Shakti Gawain. Then when The Secret came out I bought the dvd, the book and audio of the film The Secret. </span></span><br />

I wanted to shout it to the world, " Hey look everybody ! You can create a good life !" </span></span><br />
