Chinese Proverb

CHINESE PROVERB

“If you want to be happy for a lifetime, plant a garden”

If your soul needs soothing or your spirit rejuvenating, get yourself out into nature. Treat yourself as you would a garden, pulling out metaphorical weeds, planting beautiful flowers, and building and sculpting until you have created a thing of beauty.

Your life will begin to blossom as you chip away at outdated beliefs, weed out negative habits and replace them with seeds of opportunity.

How to Calm and Relax Your Anxiety, Panic or Stress

This video shows an easy method to calm and comfort ourselves during stress. It is a natural response to stress to place our hands here.  Dropping a plate, winning a contest, making a big mistake are a few that trigger stress and this natural response. Now that we know it calms us we can use this method to bring quick relief. It feels very good. Relax your shoulders, breath slowly and enjoy. This is also a a position used in Reiki for self care and treating others. So you can help your family and friends release tension also by placing your hands lightly on these two areas of the head while standing to the side of them. Isn't it wonderful to know we have a natural way to help ourselves release stress and also comfort ourselves and others?

History of Law of Attraction 1879-Present Day

The New York Times, 1876

The New York Times published an article on April 6, 1879 using the phrase "Law of Attraction".

The New Thought Movement, 1904–1910

Thomas Troward, who was a strong influence in the New Thought Movement, claimed that thought precedes physical form and that "the action of Mind plants that nucleus which, if allowed to grow undisturbed, will eventually attract to itself all the conditions necessary for its manifestation in outward visible form.

William Walker Atkinson (1862–1932)

In 1906 used the phrase in his New Thought Movement book Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World, stating that "like attracts like." The following year, Elizabeth Towne, the editor of The Nautilus Magazine, a Journal of New Thought, published Bruce MacLelland's book Prosperity Through Thought Force, in which he summarized the principle, stating: "You are what you think, not what you think you are."

Science Of Getting Rich 1903

Written circa 1903 by Wallace Delois Wattles
With Introduction by Rebecca Fine



The Science of Getting Rich published in 1910 is a
Timeless wisdom and a practical, step-by-step
prosperity program from a long forgotten classic.

Charles Haanel - 1912

The Master Key System, which was originally published in 1912, sold over 200,000 copies before it was banned by the church in 1933 and was then lost to the public for some seventy years.

The Master Key System lays down the foundation of the principles of creative manifestation through the Law of Attraction, as Haanel understood them. You will learn how to develop and use the creative instrument of your mind—creating true abundance in your life and opening up to the limitless possibilities of the truly creative life.

Theosophy, (1915–1919)

The phrase "Law of Attraction" appeared in the writings of the Theosophical authors William Quan Judge in 1915, and Annie Besant in 1919.

The Law of Success in 16 Lessons, 1928

Before the release of Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill released The Law of Success in 16 Lessons (1928) which directly references the Law of Attraction, by name, repeatedly.

"Think and Grow Rich", 1937

Richard Weiss, 1969

Richard Weiss explains in his book The American Myth of Success (First Edition 1969) that during the New Thought movement, the "principle of "non-resistance" was a popular concept taught in conjunction with the Law of Attraction.

21st Century

In 2006, a film entitled The Secret (2006) based on the "Law of Attraction" was released and then developed into a book of the same title in 2007. The movie and book gained widespread attention in the media from Saturday Night Live to The Oprah Winfrey Show in the United States. The same year Esther and Jerry Hicks (who provided much of the original source material for The Secret) released the bestseller, "The Law of Attraction".

Author and business man Kevin Trudeau produced an audio compact disk program called "Your Wish Is Your Command" in 2001, which deals with the same subject of thoughts manifesting reality.

In August 2008, Esther and Jerry Hicks's book Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth & Happiness appeared on the New York Times Best Seller list.


Considered leaders in the field by enthusiasts, Esther and Gerry Hicks provide workshops all over the world on the Law of Attraction.

My favorite book by Jerry and Esther Hicks is Ask and it is Given available above.

Our Brain And Law Of Attraction

Our Brain and The Law of Attraction

Law of Attraction is mysterious unseen force. Our brain is involved in the process by determining what revealed to us by what we focus on most of the time. There is a tiny group of cells the size of your little finger tip located in your brain called the Reticular Activation System or RAS. Your RAS is a station for incoming sensory impulses. It is an automatic mechanism inside your brain that brings relevant information to your attention according to your beliefs and perceptions.

There are millions of information bits at any one time in our present experience. However, our brains can only take in 125 bit's of information at one time. Most of what is going on around us is not even seen or noticed. I have examples of this further along the article. The RAS not only selects certain stimuli, it removes 99+% from our very perception.

  The human brain sees and hears only what we are conditioned to see or hear. Our brains delete whatever information is not in line with our set of beliefs, biases and prejudices. We focus on our perceptions and set the RAS to make decisions.

The mind sees only what it is trained to see. If the mind is not open to it, it will pass by unnoticed. Deborah Moen

Sometimes it may be your own doing through your perceptions and belief systems, sometimes it is brilliant marketing or propaganda that has snuck in there.

It is interesting to note that the RAS is responsible for revealing what you ask for and it also reveals to you what you fear or hate or do not want. It reveals to you what you focus on. 

For example: When you are thinking I do not want to eat candy, the RAS hears only that you are focusing on "candy" and your attention to candy will be sorted as an important conscious bit of information to notice "candy" everywhere. Candy will be in your face 24/7.

Another way to focus on your desire to eat less candy would be to say or think, I "allow" a healthy lifestyle or I desire nutritious foods. Your RAS will sort that information as important and all opportunities in your experience that represent healthy eating will be easily noticed.

This phenomena works with everything. If you fear spiders and focus on that, chances are your RAS will seek them out and you are going to spot them everywhere. When you have your mind on a new car you will begin to see the exact make and model in places you never saw them before. You will see that particular car everywhere. If you fight against cancer, war, gangs, the government you will notice and experience more of the "fight" than the solution.  If you think the world is out to get you then you will notice all the incidents that prove this true. If you are worried about parking, your RAS will affirm there is no parking by blocking available empty spots from your awareness. When we are confident a parking space will show up our RAS will seek it out. You do not have to believe in this for it to work. This mechanism is working whether you are aware of it or believe in it or not.

The FEDEX White Arrow

A FEDEX truck. We see them everywhere.
Have you noticed the white arrow in the logo?

Look closely between the green letters E and X
Most people have not noticed this white arrow.

The mind sees only what it is trained to see. When the mind is not open to it, "it" will pass by unnoticed. Deborah Moen


 Abraham Lincoln said, "If you look for the bad in people you will surely find it".

BUT...If you look for the good in people you will surely find it. The choice is yours. This is where these tiny little cells in our brain called the Reticular Activation System can with awareness and retraining, help us achieve success and attain our goals and help us recognize all the goodies that come along on, what I used to call, the conveyor belt of life. 


When we are aware of this function of the brain and set out to understand it and retrain our beliefs and responses to life, we begin to notice that the right book, just the right phrase we catch on TV, a phone call, or a billboard will magically show up.

The Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria

 The Niña, The Pinta and The Santa Maria came across the ocean in the breaking waves. It is said the natives were blind to the ships because they had no-thing in their experience to reference them to. This is a feature of the RAS.

The RAS and Law of Attraction

The film The  Secret began a surge of awareness of universal law called the Law of Attraction (LOA). But successful people throughout history have been aware of a phenomenon that like attracts like. There are those people who interpreted The Secret

Those who have studied Law of Attraction know that it is working whether you know it or not. The law of gravity is working whether you are aware it or not.  One of the main keys to an abundant life is living in a state of allowing, releasing resistance, finding relief and better feeling thoughts, becoming appreciative with our life now and experiencing happiness and joy.  The Non-Physical part of us is always in this blissful state. Getting the mind used to this way of thinking takes practice. But once you begin to notice the subtle and not so subtle differences that occur as a result of this practice, you will know come to know a happiness and peace  aligned with your spirit.  This alignment is downloaded into our RAS brain function and begins to assist you in seeking those things you desire automatically.  

 I will leave you with this story 
Author unknown:

A wise old man sat by the side of the road. A traveler approached and inquired about the village that lay ahead.

"What kind of people live there?"

The old man asked, "What kind of people lived in the town you just left?"

The traveler responded, "Oh, they were awful people, thieves and villains...liars and cheats."

The old man said "Well, that's exactly the kind of people in the village up ahead."

Presently another traveler approached and asked, "What sort of people live in the town over that hill?"

The old man asked him what kind of folks he had left behind.

The traveler replied "Oh they were wonderful, warm people - the kindest folks ever." And the old man said.....

"Ah, well that's just the kind of people you'll find up ahead."

The Immortal I   A Unified Theory of Psychology, Neurology and the Kingdom of God
  by Eugene B. Shea

Healing Cancer Pioneer-Royal Rife

Joshua Parker spoke on Living Energy Secrets free Teleseminars Series about Royal Raymond Rife who invented the Universal Microscope in the early 1900's. He was honored for his ability to kill cancer cells with sharp voltage spike waves similar to  frequencies on AM Radio. In 1934, 44 prestigious doctors honored him at a Banquet named The End To All Diseases. A USC  trial was performed with his machine on 16 late stage cancer patients. 14 of them received 100% cure during the trials and the other 2 were 100% cured in 60 days after the trial. But something happened. The drug companies put an end to Royal Rife's therapies and credibility. You may read  more at  http://www.royal-rife.com/

Core Beliefs-Still Cutting Off the End Of the Ham?

 Generational Core Beliefs

A Story- Are You Still Cutting Off The End of The Ham?

A newly married young woman, while preparing an Easter dinner for her husband, cut off the end of the ham before putting it in the pan to roast, just like her Mother had done before her. One afternoon while her Mother was visiting, her daughter asked her why she had always cut the end off the ham. The Mother replied that it was what her Mother had always done. Mother and daughter decided to pay a visit to Grandma to find the answer to their question.


So the following Sunday, while visiting Grandma, they asked her why she had always cut the end off the ham before putting it in the roasting pan. She replied, "I only had a small pan and it was usually too small for the size of the ham!" This story beautifully illustrates what can happen when we blindly follow tradition without asking the appropriate questions.

To follow without questioning the traditional ways of our parents and grandparents, is like unnecessarily cutting off the end of the ham.


There are other beliefs we blindly follow such as:

• I can't trust anyone but family.
•  I am selfish to ask for a better situation.
•  I am poor and there is never enough mone.y
•  I get sick every flu season.
•  I am stuck in this job, relationship or situation

You may want to dump your box of beliefs out onto the floor, sort them out and throw away those beliefs that are keeping you from your joy, happiness and success.

The Four Candles Ceremony

Ceremony

Ceremony and Ritual create the space and opportunity to pause in our busy lives, to reconnect to the sacredness of life and power of being alive. Ceremony brings families, friends and communities together and allows a space where we can pause to open our hearts and reflect. Ceremony can help us rediscover ourselves and heal disconnectedness amongst families. Ceremonies can be detailed with regalia and interconnected rituals or it can be as simple as singing to the setting sun.

I have taken The Four Candles Story (author unknown) and presented it as ceremony for my family and my students. It is truly a lovely ceremony that your participants will love to share with their family and friends. Print out copies of The Four Candle Story/Ceremony to share with them. You will be creating a beautiful space for healing and communion with our spiritual selves.

Here is what you will need:

1. 4 long tapered candles and holders
2. Lighter or matches
3. Music ( I play Ava Maria afterwards for reflecting) I have included the music below. Music tends to open the heart and creates a spiritual space for reflection.
4. Festive table runner or decorative cloth (optional) and copy of The Four Candle Story/Ceremony

Ceremony for the Four Candles Story :

  A few weeks or days before the ceremony make an announcement through that you are offering The Four Candles Story/Ceremony and invite the participants to come. Note: this could also be an intimate simple ceremony at the dinner table with your family. Do add the music for inspiration. No need to go all out but if you want to here are the details.

On the day of the ceremony:

1. Prepare by setting the table with the table runner or cloth, 4 candles and lighter, before your participants enter the room
2. Set up the music so it is easy to play after the Four Candle Story/Ceremony.
3. When your participants are seated welcome them the ceremony, turn down the lights and begin lighting all 4 candles
4. say the following

The Four Candles burned slowly.



Their ambiance was so soft you could hear them speak...




The first candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit."


Then Peace's flame slowly diminished and went out completely.


5. Extinguish The Candle of Peace


6. Say the following:



The second candle said, "I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable."


Then Faith's flame slowly diminished and went out completely.


7. Extinguish the Second Candle of Faith

8. Say the following:


Sadly the third candle spoke, "I Am Love and I haven't the strength to stay lit any longer."


"People put me aside and don't understand my importance.


They even forget to love those who are nearest to them."


And waiting no longer, Love went out completely.


9. Extinguish the Third Candle of Love
10. Say the following:

 Suddenly...
A child entered the room and saw the three candles no longer burning.


The child began to cry,
"Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end."

Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy,


"Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn,


we can re-light the other candles."


With shining eyes, the child took the Candle of Hope


and lit the other three candles.


11. Light the 3 candles with the fourth candle of hope


12. Say the following:



Never let the Flame of Hope go out.


With Hope in your life, no matter how bad things may be,


Peace, Faith and Love may shine brightly once again.


13. Play the music while the candles are a glow ( not too loud but audible for all to hear)


14. After the music has stopped playing allow a few moment of silence and allow time for discussion or fellowship. This is a nice time for refreshments or dinner. How about a toast to PEACE, FAITH, LOVE and HOPE.

Ceremony offers an outlet for expressing that which our busy lives seem to have no room for. We can create space and include  ceremony into our lives to nurture our spirit, open our hearts, celebrate life and to ease the stresses we experience along our life's path. - Deborah Moen

ACUPRESSURE - EASY AND EFFECTIVE

Note:
Names have been changed.

Abby had insomnia due to some radical changes in her life which caused stressed. 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.

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.

samples of pills for insomnia
from the doctor's drawer

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.

 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.

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.

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.

Important *Always consult your general practioner 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 opportunites 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.

WHEN NOT TO USE ACUPRESSURE     Note: There are other safe alternative therapies that can be used in these cases to bring relief to insomnia.

1. Do not apply acupressure to any open cuts or where there is swelling or inflammation.
2. Avoid scar tissue, boils, blisters, rashes and burns.
3. Do not apply pressure on varicose veins.
4. If the recipient has high blood pressure or epilepsy do not apply pressure to the top of the head.
5. 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.
6. If a person has a serious illness like cancer or heart disease. have them obtain a doctor's approval before giving any bodywork.
7. 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.
8. 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. Acupressure in certain areas can cause uterine contractions and can inhibit or endanger pregnancy.

Here are some Jing Well points. Do not perform #7 if you are pregnant.

LEFT HAND RIGHT HAND

PALM RIGHT HAND (SAME FOR LEFT HAND)

DRAWINGS BY DEBORAH MOEN

• Press on each point, beginning at #1 using the tip of the thumb or index finger. 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. Do not bend the thumb or index finger back at the knuckle. Practice on an orange or lemon.

• 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. Especially on 7,8,11 and 12. Concentrate on the tip of your finger while pressing and you may feel the energy there.

•  Begin at the base of each finger and gently squeeze upward towards the tip of the finger. 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. Then proceed to the next point.

• Practice makes perfect. The more you review this technique by doing, the easier it becomes. This treatment is so relaxing and it is a form of meditation.

 FYI-LOCATIONS AND INDICATIONS  BE SURE TO CONSULT YOUR GENERAL PRACTIONER FOR ALL CONDITIONS LISTED BELOW.  This article is expressly for those who want to try an alternative method for their insomnia. This alternative method is one of many that brings relief to stress and pain.

QUANTUM TOUCH

Richard Gordon is the Author of Best-selling  Your Healing Hands: The Polarity Experience and Quantum-Touch Techniques and Developer of Quantum Touch Workshops.  I was listening to him on my favorite source of free internet seminars Living Energy Secrets. I liked him immediately because his opinions about healing are similar to what I have researched myself. He says quoting a great spiritual healer,  "A great healer is someone who was very ill and got well quickly". He went on further to say that in his opinion anyone who claims to heal others is mistaken. All they are doing is providing the resonnate energy to allow others to heal themselves.

ENTRAINMENT IS RESONANCE
A physics phenomenon of resonance, first observed in the 17th century, has an effect on all of us. Entrainment is defined as the tendency for two oscillating bodies to lock into phase so that they vibrate in harmony. It is also defined as a synchronization of two or more rhythmic cycles. The principle of entrainment is universal, appearing in chemistry, pharmacology, biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, astronomy, architecture and more. The classic example shows individual pulsing heart muscle cells. When they are brought close together, they begin pulsing in synchrony. Another example of the entrainment effect is women who live in the same household often find that their menstrual cycles will coincide.
In electronics,when you have two similarly tuned oscillating circuits vibrating at similar frequencies, the slower circuit rises up to match the speed of the faster one.


BODY AWARENESS and BREATHING
Quantum touch has the best exercises I have experienced  for "feeling the energy". It teaches profound body awareness and is easily learned in a day by attending a workshop, watching the DVD or reading the book which has full instructions.  "Running the energy" combines body awareness with breathing  and makes this a powerful healing method. Of course it is through practice we increase our understanding of Quantum Touch.


TRANSFORMING POSTURAL ALIGNMENT
With Quantum Touch you can literally align the bones in the body. The manipulation of the skeletal structure is so harmonious, the bones seem to melt into place.

I practiced this technique on my grandson. He had injured his back and complaining of pain. I noticed one of his vertebrae was sticking out. I touched it and he affirmed the location. I began running the energy and I felt this warmth all through my body. I pointed my fingers softly towards the areas and I sensed something changing. He told me it felt really good and that he felt it move down his back. I moved my fingers towards the lower back and in a short while he began telling me, "It's like gasses bumping into each other!" His hands started to make crashing gestures mimicking what he was feeling in his back. He announced the pain had run down into his tailbone and out his legs and feet. I felt his back and the lump was gone.

This method has been effective for bowed legs, uneven hips and shoulders, and chronic conditions like scoliosis. It can even mend broken bones.

Chiropractors and physical therapists use this as an advanced technique. Reiki practitioners call it Reiki empowerment or turbocharging the Reiki. Quantum Touch can be learned by anyone, children, adults and seniors and can be used on animals and plants.



FACILITATE A WORKSHOP

I was pleasantly surprised to receive the Workshop package though Living Energy Secrets, free online seminars, and find it had an opportunity to facilitate workshops. Facilitators make $40 for each person. You are also allowed $30 per person for any costs you incur giving the workshop. All you do is show the video which has practice periods. You stop the video and everyone practices the easy to follow techniques. This is a wonderful opportunity to share healing. You can get the workshop set on their web site. QuantumTouch.com.

AUTISM - THE HORSE BOY

A Review by Deborah Moen

The Horse Boy on DVD or in Hardcover through Amazon.com.

See this film about the autistic child who was befriended by a horse and healed by Shaman in Mongolia. This is a powerful story.

"In our culture, without wit-nesses, this story would be hard to believe, reliant as it is on the power of primitive and little-understood ceremonies." -The Horse Boy













 Even if you do not know a person or family touched by autism, the information in this movie may astound you and shift your understanding of healing and empowerment.
Shamanic healing amplifies that which is already within the person seeking healing. A Shaman sees the perfection in everything. In our culture, we institutionalize and set apart these individuals with so called "neurological abnormalities"



Different cultures use different ways to create a space of healing for their client or patient. The fire lit caves of the medicine men, the crisp white coats of medical practitioners, all of them, set the healing stage for the client or patient to begin healing.

 Miracles are unexpected events. Most people do not even recognize a healing when it takes place before their eyes because they have nothing in their experience to reference it to. It is not the healer but the patient's body, mind and spirit that does the healing. If there are any references to dark forces within the patient it refers to the conditions brought about by that person's thoughts, perceptions and feelings. Those conditions are not forever. They can be transformed.

A great healer is one who got very ill and healed quickly.-Lazaris



“Once you’ve seen enough people with cancer, or snake bites, or dementia or whatever, healed – and the doctors scratching their heads and saying we don’t know where the tumour’s gone, you come to realise it’s a pretty valid system.” -The Horse Boy



 “It’s outside of our ken because although we did have some of these systems in European culture we destroyed them. In the Middle Ages we burnt every village herbalist, let alone shaman. People might think all this is airy-fairy, but bushmen are very practical people: they live in the desert . . . they don’t do anything unless it serves a practical purpose. " -The Horse Boy
