Astral Projection for Beginners

Friday, April 30th, 2010
Disclaimer: I am writing this article, ‘Astral Projection for Beginners’ from a purely objective standpoint. I have not personally engaged in the activity, nor do I recommend or discourage anyone from trying it for themselves. It is my aim to provide you with an overview of astral projection from a beginner’s standpoint, based upon research provided by others. (Source: Wikipedia)
Astral Projection for Beginners

Astral Projection for Beginners

What is Astral Projection?
Any interpretation of an out of body experience, where the mind or ‘astral body’ seems to leave the physical body to travel about inside of the astral plane or field of consciousness, is defined as astral projection. For beginners, this may either seem like an unfamiliar or frightening scenario, or may be something that is happening to you regularly, without conscious effort. Astral projection is often associated with near death experiences, and has been reported to occur during dreams, surgery, meditation or while under the influence of certain types of drugs. Any time your senses seem to separate from your body and travel through time and space to other places, dimensions or fields of thought, this can be considered astral projection.

Astral Projection Techniques

There are many techniques available for astral projection for beginners. You can read about these and try them for yourself, or you may wish to research further by comparing successful techniques or engaging in forums especially designed for beginners to astral projection and out of body experiences. Depending upon how you learn, you may also be interested in an audio course that provides information regarding all aspects of astral projection, both for beginners and those who are more advanced. You may discover that you can achieve certain types of physical or mental healing, meet with loved ones who have passed, or access the Akashic Records by becoming familiar with astral projection and how it can benefit you. No matter what technique you use to achieve astral projection, keep the following pointers in mind:

  • Relax – you must reach a complete state of relaxation and meditation for astral projection to occur. Any fears, thoughts or questions could interfere with the process.
  • Avoid astral travel at night – for beginners, attempting astral projection at bedtime will likely result in your falling asleep, but you may achieve lucid dreaming…which can be another fun experience!
  • Be patient – learning the art of astral projection is a commitment that may take some time. You must be patient and continue using your favorite techniques with consistency.
  • Extinguish your fears – fear will prevent astral projection almost every time. If you have any fears associated with an out of body experience, but you’re still interested in the topic, further research may benefit.

Dangers of Astral Projection

If you’re a beginner to astral projection, your first question probably centers around the potential dangers of astral travel and if there is a possibility for harm. The answer to this question seems to be based mostly on your level of fear. Must like walking through a dark alley at night, if you give off the impression that you are afraid, you are more likely to be bitten by a dog or attacked by a criminal. Same goes for the law of attraction; what you present to the universe comes back to you in experience. There are dangers to astral projection, but they are apparently rare, occur on the lower levels of consciousness and involve fear. If you are informed of the possibilities and are educated on the easy techniques to prevent harm from coming to your body, your being and your soul, higher consciousness wins every time. Astral projection is about confidence and protection, and that’s all there is to it.

Learn more about astral projection for beginners by discovering secrets and valuable information in this 18-part audio course entitled Astral Projection Underground.

If you have questions, feel free to ask and I’ll do my best to direct you to the answers you are seeking. There are many accounts of astral projection online, and I’d be more than happy to research answers for you.

Simple Tips for Balancing the Mind, Body and Spirit

Thursday, February 4th, 2010
Use nature or visualizations to help balance the mind, body and spirit

Use nature or visualizations to help balance the mind, body and spirit

Balancing of mind, body and spirit has significant benefits in everyday life. This balance can be achieved in a number of ways, and there are several simple changes that can be made immediately to begin feeling the positive impact. Awareness of your current standpoint is vital to the experience and can help give you some idea of how you operate and where to begin to achieve the necessary balance.

What Feelings Are You Choosing?
Our feelings are a choice. It may not feel that way when we are experiencing unfortunate circumstances, but the simple fact is that there are many ways to feel about a given situation. Blessings in disguise, for example, occur everyday in our lives. It seems simpler to blame exterior circumstances for what is happening to us, but when we choose to release negative feelings or find a more positive way to view any experience, it helps to create this balance of mind, body and spirit. Positive feelings weigh less, giving us more energy, vibrance and focus. When these are in place, nice and happy experiences seem to become more frequent.

Who is Making Contributions to Your Life?
What kinds of people are contributing to your current conditions. While it is fully your responsibility to choose appropriate feelings, this is much easier to do when you are surrounded by supportive and uplifting people. Balance of mind, body and spirit can be much more easily achieved when you can laugh and love more easily and without effort. If you are surrounded by people who complain, or if you complain yourself, check this behavior and begin to network with people who make it a habit to be positive. These people may seem annoying to someone who’s used to living a reality of unfortunate circumstances, but the more you realize how much easier this way of life is, the more attractive this lifestyle will become.

Where’s All the Fun?
Do you have any fun? It is vital and essential and mandatory that you find a way to incorporate some fun into your life; on a daily basis! The excuse that there isn’t enough time to do the things you want to do is simply not true. In fact, having fun and releasing stress will give you the benefit of more time in a day. Time is relative anyway, and the addition of events which make you feel joy, laughter, peace, love or freedom will enhance the balance of body, mind and spirit and keep you more focused and efficient for the tasks that you are less emotionally connected to.

Release Stress
Meditation is one of the most effective ways to release stress and find that balance for your entire being. Your physical well-being, emotional sanity and spiritual gwell-being all depend upon a balance. Meditation can be achieved almost anywhere at almost anytime. A ritualistic perspective is not necessary. Whenever you have a few moments, like sitting in traffic, washing dishes or waiting for someone, you can engage in a few moments of meditation. Become acutely aware of each thought as it enters your mind, and then practice ways to let it go, let it pass and let it fly. This practice takes some getting used to, and will become an extremely important and effective tool for releasing stress, remaining calm, feeling joy and recognizing the harmony in all people, circumstances and events around you, whether seemingly good or bad.

Live, laugh and love in peace, joy and harmony.

Countdown 2012 #3, World Peace and Other Radical Ideas

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Why is world peace such a radical idea?

Why is world peace such a radical idea?

Yep. I said it.

World Peace.

Cause I mean, why not? Why can’t we achieve world peace? What if each one of us decides to be more peaceful? Everyone, inside of your own personal self, make a decision to be more peaceful. There ya go.

Done.

Countdown 2012 video tip #3 is a little bit about world peace and other radical ideas. It’s just my attempt at getting us to open up our eyes a little more and begin to see things as they really are, rather than how we want them to be.

Cause what if the world does blow up in 2012? Have you decided where you’re going? Do you know your options? Or are you just taking someone else’s word for something that you haven’t researched for yourself?

Take a little time and start researching some things that aren’t on the news. Use your online time to expand your horizons, rather than playing Facebook games all day. (Ok, I play Facebook games, too. Come be my Farmville neighbor!!)

The point is that there’s much more going on than we want to be involved with. But if we don’t get out there, we may miss the golden ticket.

C’mon. Evolve with me!

Countdown 2012 Video Tip #2

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Some people are starting to look at me cross-eyed when I bring up the Mayan Calendar end date of 12/21/2012. Many of you haven’t heard of these phenomenal and wondrous theories!

Since I’ve only just begun with my Countdown 2012 video tips. I thought I’d take today to share a little bit about where this is all coming from.

According to what’s being said, it’s either going to be the end of the world, or there will be a major psychological and planetary shift toward peace.

I’m opting for the second version. But in order for that to take place, we need as many of you as possible to become aware! Aware of yourselves, aware of your behavior and aware of your role in the collective consciousness.

Awareness is key! Have I said that before??

If you’re completely in the dark about the Mayan calendar and 2012. This video is a good place to start. This is a blog for beginners after all…

Countdown 2012 Video Tip #1

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

I’ve decided to do a series of video tips in preparation for the big day…! This is Countdown 2012.

December 21, 2012 is being hyped and we’re all going to prepare, whether we know it or not. It will be pretty hard to escape all the information that will begin to flood in your direction as this date approaches.

Some people think it’ll be the end of the world.

Some people won’t fall for it after Y2K was a big flop.

Some people will run for the hills.

Some people won’t do anything any different from any other day.

Personally, I do think this day will be significant, but I’m not a prophet, so I’m not about to proclaim that I know the truth. What I do know, is that we are feeling a bunch of shifts as members of humanity. These shifts are what I’d like to talk to you about. That way, no matter what happens on 12/21/2012, perhaps you’ll be a little more prepared after taking some of the advice that the up and coming leaders of the world are offering. I read a lot, and when I find something that works for me, I like to share the concepts.

I plan to keep up with these and release a new tip regularly. Here’s Countdown 2012 Video Tip #1…

Enjoy and feel free to leave comments. (Especially how the heck I can get the glare off my glasses for future clips! Thx!)

Peace, love and joy to all!!

Positive Affirmations for a Positive New Year

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009
Positive affirmations can make changes at a cellular level.

Positive affirmations can make changes at a cellular level.

Positive affirmations may seem like a bunch of words that sound good in theory, but how are they supposed to make a difference when we live in a world filled with negative energy? We turn on the news and it’s bad. We get into traffic and we almost get killed by raging drivers, or we become angry ourselves. We are up in arms over healthcare, government, and religion. We hate our jobs, our marriages are failing and our kids don’t listen. What good can a bunch of words labeled ‘positive affirmations’ do for us?

You’ll be surprised if you decide you have nothing to lose and try out this little exercise.

When a statement of purpose is recorded, in writing, either in a text document or on a notepad, it becomes powerful. Realize that it’s a creation. It’s something that wasn’t there before, but now has existence. It’s matter created from a thought. If you have the ability to read between the lines here, a big lightbulb should be going off.

Even more powerful is the spoken word. Using positive affirmations as a daily mantra will transform your physical and emotional being. Stating words that bring about a general feel-good sensation will lift negative emotions out of the way almost instantaneously. Repeating them daily will begin a change at the cellular level of your body. Continuing this repetition of positive affirmations will create a new habit of bringing about joy into your life by rerouting old message waves in the brain. It’s scientific, my friends… much bigger than mumbo jumbo.

You don't have a sufficient version of Flash Player to display this animation.

It’s always possible to reach for a feeling that’s better than the one you’re currently experiencing. Positive affirmations can help with this. Even if you feel pretty good, making positive statements can make you feel even better. Wouldn’t you like to feel bliss and joy as much as possible? It can be done. If you’re sick of feeling sad, angry, disappointed, irritated, overwhelmed or lonely, find a great affirmation and practice changing that feeling.

If you’re sensitive to the sensations of your body, you’ll notice the flutter or energy surge when you say something powerful and positive. Look around for some positive affirmations that work well for your life, or write down some of your own. I will include a short list at the end of this post.

Make it a habit to recite your powerful statements at least twice a day. You can choose general positive affirmations for joy and happiness, or pick specific statements that pinpoint a problem you may be having in your life.

If you have a problem with emotional eating, or want to lose weight:
~I am now at peace with my body, and I am feeling healthy.
~I crave only foods which are healthy for my mind, body and spirit.
~Losing weight is easy and effortless.

If you are having problems with relationships:
~I am now creating joy and love in all my relationships.
~I attract healthy and loving relationships.
~I feel compassion and love towards myself and others.

If you are having problems with depression:
~Today is filled with joy, peace and happiness.
~I feel powerful, strong and creative today.
~My life is now magical. I see evidence of joy and light.

These are only a few short examples of millions of positive affirmations that can be incorporated into your days. Once you understand the power of positive thinking, you’ll begin to see results that are magical, and you’ll begin to attract only good feelings.

Peace, joy and light,
Jeannie

18 Tips to Attract Wealth, Abundance and Prosperity Into Your Life

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Attract Wealth in the New Year

Attract Wealth in the New Year

So you’re broke. Especially now since we just came around that corner where Christmas resides. And that means it’s time once again to make New Year’s Resolutions. Well, I’m not a big proponent of resolutions just for the sake of making them. That never works. What does work is making a promise and a commitment to yourself when you’re ready. Are you ready to start attracting wealth and abundance into your life?

What’s that?

I didn’t hear you…

Say it LOUDER!

YES! I AM READY TO LIVE A LIFE OF WEALTH AND ABUNDANCE!

Here are 18 tips to help you do just that.
(and they are no particular order)

  1. Become aware of yourself and your thoughts

    Become aware of yourself and your thoughts

    Become aware of yourself. Begin by noticing the words which come out of your mouth, and the thoughts that race inside your head. If you believe that you cannot attract wealth, or that you don’t deserve it, it will surely never come. If you are hanging on to old beliefs that lead you to feel like there isn’t enough to go around, that you might be taking something away from someone else by being rich, or that wanting money makes you greedy, you’ll surely never have any. Fully examine your beliefs about money and come to terms with the fact that abundance is just that…abundance. There IS more than enough for you to have some, and once you realize that, you’re one step closer to prosperity. Stay away from thoughts of envy or jealously over people who do have money. Thinking like that won’t get you anywhere either.

  2. Spend a million bucks

    Spend a million bucks

    Spend a million bucks. I know, you don’t have 5 dollars, so how are you going to spend a million? Write it down. Get out a nice, clean sheet of paper and write 1 MILLION DOLLARS in big letters across the top. Number it if you want, or just start spending. Spend it how you would if it actually belonged to you. Pay off bills, buy a villa, a leer jet and go on vacation, A LOT! You may have trouble spending that much. I know I do. Or…. you might spend it all in 5 seconds. No matter. Either way you’ll have something finite, written down, available to the universe, straight from your heart.

  3. Make a donation to open up money flow

    Make a donation to open up money flow

    Start giving some money away. This is a tough one, but it works like a charm. We find it difficult to make donations when we don’t have much ourselves. How can we give money away when we’ve got a bill that hasn’t been paid for 3 months? Well, we have a tendency to prioritize with our money. I’d be willing to bet, even if you have an overdue bill or two, you still indulge in some of the things you find important. It might be daily coffee at the convenience store, a trip for fast food a few times a week, or scratch tickets. That right there ought to be something of an eye opener! There’s no need for you to re-prioritize, or to feel guilty about those things you do spend money on. Why? Because there’s more than enough to go around!!! If you do what all the financial textbooks say, and save save save, you’ll see that the five bucks you spent on coffee and scratch tickets ended up disappearing somewhere else anyway. Money is not as concrete as we’d like to believe. It’s really just paper and metal. So, take 5 bucks and throw it in the Salvation Army donation plate, or give some money to a street bum. Something will make you feel good, and all fluttery inside, when you do it. And you won’t miss the 5 bucks. I promise. You have to open up the flow. Money comes in. Money goes out. It’s just a thing.

  4. Create a vision board to bring abundance

    Create a vision board

    Create a Vision Board. You know that magazine subscription you pay $20 a year for? Before you throw them in the dumpster, look through them and find things that you really want. Or images that just make you feel good. If you don’t have any magazines, get some. Ask friends. Ask the library. Buy them at a thrift store for a dime each. Or print out some Google images. Plaster those images on your walls, or make a collage on some fancy paper. However it works for you, those images will create new little pathways for your brain to follow. You will be amazed at how some (or all) of these things begin to draw to you.

  5. act-as-if-abundance

    Act as if... (all of the above!)

    Act as if. Begin to visualize what your life would be like if you did have money, and if you were able to travel, or shop at the mall, or buy your dream house. Begin to adopt the attitude that you already have these things, or that you could purchase them at any time. This type of behavior also changes the energy field around you, which will again help to draw your desires to you. By changing your demeanor, and your thought process, you’ll start to attract circumstances which bring you closer to what you want. Retrain your mind and prepare yourself for receiving. As abundance begins to flow in, you’ll be ready to handle it, because you’ve been practicing! Old beliefs might suggest that this is a little crazy, or even egotistical. But how has acting as if you’re broke been working out for you? You don’t have to go overboard with this, or try to fool anyone into thinking you’re something you’re not. Just use visualization and affirmations to act as if what you desire has already come into your life.

  6. Have an attitude of gratitude!

    Have an attitude of gratitude!

    Be grateful. Gratitude is another emotion that fills up the air and creates joy. Discover all the things in your life for which you are genuinely grateful. Maybe you have a favorite family member who’s always nice to you. Maybe your kids are a joy. Perhaps you recently got a small windfall of money that came at just the right time. Maybe your beat up car has been running without incident for months. Think of all the things which could go wrong but don’t, and be grateful! Thank God, or the Universe, or the Air. Just be thankful for what you have.

  7. Send a little love with your bills

    Send a little love with your bills

    Pay your bills with love. Send some love along with the payment every time you pay a bill. Paying bills can be extremely stressful, but feeling that stress is really just a bad habit. It’s a learned behavior. It doesn’t change anything. It doesn’t make more money appear in your bank account. Why choose to feel stress about it? Instead, practice feeling joy that the bill IS PAID, and send some love and gratitude right along with it. Doing this will help you get in touch with some of your emotions regarding money. Clear up the negative feelings and you’ll be more open to receiving.

  8. Abundance comes in many forms

    Abundance comes in many forms

    Realize that abundance isn’t just about money. Abundance comes in many forms, and not always in the form of dollars and cents. When you begin to attract wealth and abundance into your life, notice all the wealth and abundance. Don’t put your rules on it, and ignore it if it doesn’t add to the bottom line on your bank account. Be grateful when you can use a coupon for an item you’ve really been needing. Or if you get a special deal on an oil change. Notice when you have a spectacular day with your family, with no fighting. Learn how to see abundance when it’s present. Practice this and you’ll start creating even more of it.

  9. Money exercise for creating the flow of wealth

    Money exercise for creating the flow of wealth

    Try a money exercise. Make a list of all the bills you owe monthly. Put them into columns from highest to lowest. Next time you pay the bill with the smallest amount, double it. Yes, I said make a double payment. This takes guts, and a whole lot of faith. But in doing it, not only will you get that smallest bill paid off more quickly, in turn freeing up some monthly income, but you will also begin to understand the relevance that money has in your life. You’ll see how easy it is to spend it, and how you’ve still magically got enough to meet your needs.

  10. Spend your play money every day

    Spend your play money every day

    Put fake money in your wallet. Get some play money and put a 50 or 100 dollar bill into your wallet. Next time you’re out shopping, spend it. Find something you’ve really been wanting and visualize yourself buying it. And every time you open up your wallet, you’ll see that money just sitting there. After a while, this becomes empowering. Especially when you can spend it over and over and over again.

  11. Practice positive affirmations

    Practice positive affirmations

    Practice affirmations. The things you say, and thoughts you think shape your life. Even if you don’t realize it, this is happening every moment of every day. When you repeat positive affirmations, out loud, you begin to train your subconscious mind to think in a positive way, and therefore begin to see and recognize the positive things that surround you. We are largely unaware of most of the things going on in different levels of our mind. It’s pretty likely that your mind is saying some nasty stuff that isn’t helping your cause. Maybe those nasty things even come out of your mouth. This is no good. Recite positive affirmations about wealth and abundance when you first wake up, and just before you go to bed. This is just a minimum. Feel free to become obsessed and repeat them a thousand times a day. Positive affirmations will only do you good. Begin with simple affirmations like “money flows to me easily and abundantly” or “my life is full of wealth and joy.” It doesn’t take long before these thoughts will become a part of who you are.

  12. Stop telling your old stories

    Stop telling your old stories

    Stop telling your story. Stop telling your story. Did you get that? I still do it too, sometimes. I’m not really sure what benefit we get out of complaining and talking about how broke we are, or how things just aren’t going well, or how so and so said such and such. Just stop it. This kind of behavior does not bring anything good into your life. It brings everything down to a very low frequency, where wealth and abundance just don’t want to go. Start telling a new story. It’s not necessary to lie, but simply choose better thoughts and talk about those. Stay aware, and don’t ignore the bad stuff, but simply take it in, process it, and figure out how to make it better. It’s ok to ask for advice, but stop drolling on and on about what’s bad. (And feel free to use words that don’t make sense…like drolling.)

  13. Don't take advice from broke people.

    Don't take advice from broke people.

    Don’t take financial advice from people who have less than you. When Uncle Art starts giving you financial advice, don’t listen to him unless he makes as much money as you want to be making. People who don’t know how to live abundantly cannot help you to make good financial decisions or attract wealth into your life. They just can’t. If they could, they’d be living abundantly as well. Don’t bring up your financial troubles to these people, and change the subject when they bring up theirs. Exchanging stories about past due bills, debt and other financial woes doesn’t help a thing. It’s a conversation that will have no positive benefit, no matter how you look at it.

  14. Surround yourself with abundance

    Surround yourself with abundance

    Surround yourself with people who live in abundance. Seek like-minded friends and acquaintances who are also looking to attract wealth and prosperity, or who have already achieved it. People nowadays who understand the law of attraction and how to use it are more than willing to talk and teach and share their ’secrets.’ Even business people. Anymore, the people who you want to surround yourself with will be more than willing to go in-depth about ways you can improve your financial situation and your overall well being. Because these people get that there is more than enough, and if they tell you how to get some, they won’t be giving any of it up. Gone are the days when we have to step on each other and take from our neighbors to gain something. The more we give, the more comes our way. This applies to money, to love, to freedom and to all the other great stuff that’s available to anyone who wants it.

  15. Learn to receive

    Learn to receive

    Learn to receive. When someone offers to buy you lunch, or tries to hand you a $20 when you really need it, to you participate in the “no, that’s ok” or “thanks but I’ve got it” nonsense? That’s old habit stuff. It’s not necessary. When someone offers you something, learn to take it. If you have a hard time receiving, how do you expect the essence of money to find it’s way into your life? It won’t. Open up that pathway by giving AND receiving.

  16. Write yourself a check...

    Write yourself a check...

    Write out a check to yourself. Get out one of your checks and make it out to yourself for a million bucks. Hang it up on the wall. You can get as creative as you want with this. Design a check, or sign it from Donald Trump or Bill Gates. When you’re finished, hang it on the wall where you’ll glance at it several times a day. Just the essence of this check will help get the money energy flowing.

  17. Join a money group

    Join a money group

    Join a money group. Find local people, or groups online, that focus on attracting wealth and abundance. Check out meetup.com or do an online search for like-minded people. Surrounding yourself with this energy, participating in exercises, and discussing goals, dreams and desires will only benefit you. You may find that you’ve also got some special qualities that you may be able to contribute.

  18. Read money books. There are so many great books on money. If you can’t stand reading, splurge a little and spend $12.95 to get an audio CD for your car. Any reading (or listening) material which inspires, teaches and affirms that we all have the power to transform our financial situations, right inside ourselves, is worth taking advantage of. There are many great money books that I’ve read, and many more that I haven’t. You will gain insight and learn tips on how to attract abundance into your life from every sentence that you read. Continue to fill your brain with positive information, positive suggestions and positive affirmations. Only read, watch and listen to uplifting scenarios. Surround yourself with wealth and abundance. Change your consciousness. Work it. Below you will find a list of my favorite money books.

Next Evolutionary Step, Are You Ready?

Monday, December 28th, 2009
What's the next evolutionary step?

What's the next evolutionary step?

It is my belief, and the belief of many others, that we are in the midst of embarking on our next evolutionary step. Many of us are feeling the pull, the changes, the discomfort. Others haven’t noticed. Either way, its happening whether we like it or not, whether we know about it or not. Expansion of awareness is key to leaving behind the stressful conditions we find ourselves in, and finding peace to evolve freely with the universe and all of mankind. We are heading for peace on earth!

The following article tackles a complicated subject and brings it to a simple point. We must begin to increase our self awareness and allow the universe to lead us forward through this next evolutionary step. I am excited for the upcoming book and hope you enjoy reading this information as much as I did.

Your Evolutionary Potential – How To Be In Step

By E. Smith

Within everyone is the capacity to be a powerful center for change… vast sweeping change. Not by changing one self, but by stepping into one’s evolutionary potential to become change.

“We are not separate from our environment.” Everything, including us, in spiritual and physical form is simply a part of the universal evolving ecology. All that is needed for us to be in our potential is simply to come into step with evolution – to simply become what is happening and changing. By doing so we are able to flow peacefully within the river of the changing landscape and see clearly how to interact with life. This frees up enormous energy and vitality to be channeled into life purpose and meaning.

We have lived in an age of evolutionary contradiction in which everything has continued to evolve – yet humanity has invested their happiness and security into institutions for stability and predictability as if they were insulated from change. As long as these institutions have held, people have felt powerful and in control of their circumstances.

But these institutions; banking, religion, business, education, finance, government and marriage were built as permanent fixtures on the ever-shifting sands of evolution itself. Hence, they have become weathered and weakened like a crumbling sidewalk, causing people to feel unsettled and out of sync.

What is happening right now cannot be understood by the human mind – but one thing is clear: The rules we created to live our lives by are changing – even disintegrating. What used to work so well, does not any more – and may become obsolete in the near future. For evolution is about continued adaptation – and we must come into alignment with what wants to happen – rather than what we want to happen.

You don't have a sufficient version of Flash Player to display this animation.

In a world that has enough technology, food, and money – and within an environment that is becoming increasingly fragile, evolution is simply responding in the only way it knows how. Evolution is quickening its pace and guiding us through a broad base transition to set aside our individual needs to become more compassionate to hold a higher, more inclusive vision for ourselves and therefore, the planet.

We are each being tapped on the shoulder – being asked to live with a new sense of awareness and interconnectedness. And it is time to start relying on our intuition and feelings in ways that we could not have done before. We are being asked to experience life through the heart and answer the call as we feel it deep inside for self-reliance, balance, and purposeful living.

The small reward is that we can quickly come into harmony with what wants to happen for our lives to be in our human potential. The larger reward is that we each become a powerful center for change that impacts the people around us as they tap into our evolutionary state and then their potential. This adds velocity and thrust to the global transition of becoming a more heart-centered, and therefore sustainable planet.

There are Seven Evolutionary Guidelines that facilitate the transition to becoming centered in the heart.

1) Allow Life To Come To You, And Act From Intuitive Feelings.

2) What You Need To Evolve Shows Up Perfectly As You Are In Step With Evolution

3) Be Light. Light Is Light. Lightness Spreads Light.

4) Be In The Silence. Silence Is The Doorway. Become A Noise Reducer.

5) Simplicity Frees Energy. Simplify Everything. So Purity Can Work With Purity.

6) Rapid Acceleration Occurs When People Get Into Evolutionary Flow Together.

7) Dive Into The Mystery. Into Not Knowing And Become What Wants To Happen

These evolutionary guidelines are just that – guidelines. They show us how to be in step with our evolution and therefore our potential. They hold no power over anyone. They are simply suggestions for where and how to interact with what is happening in a much more efficient and therefore self-reliant way. The immediate impact is that you can simply follow the guidelines to be in step with what is wanted for your life – saving valuable energy and vitality for creating what is really important to you and the people around you.

All of us are evolving – there is not anything we can do about that. However, when we come into step with evolution, we enter a slipstream of energy that fundamentally changes how we interact with life, moment-to-moment and day-to-day.

The result of being in step is a heightened state of awareness and the ability to be more centered and joyful regardless of our life circumstances. We gain the ability to channel our energy into life purpose and service effortlessly. We are connected to magic, flow and Grace. Being in step with evolution is like the difference between riding a steam locomotive and a bullet train. Both are heading in the same direction, but everyone who can, rides a speeding train.

About the Author: E is an Evolutionary Guide. He shares Evolutionary Guidelines and heart-centering practices with those who desire to be in step with their highest potential. His next book, “The Evolutionary Guidebook” is scheduled for release in early 2010.

Where Does The Time Go?

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009
Does time really go anywhere?

Does time really go anywhere?

I see so many people commenting on Facebook and elsewhere about time, and lack of it.

“Where does the time go?”

“Come on, Friday”

“I can’t wait until Christmas is over!”

That last one tends to get so much support from friends and family. So many people are being pulled through the Christmas holiday by a misconception that has been planted in their heads, and filled with guilt and resentment. “We’ve gotta battle the crowds. We’ve gotta buy everyone gifts. Where IS the time GOING???”

How are so many of us missing the point? Now, I’ve done some research on the history behind the ‘reason for the season’, so I’m not interested in arguing about fact vs. custom. What I am interested in saying is that no matter what season it is, we are missing the point!!!

What’s the big rush? How much will things really change for you once Christmas is over? Won’t there be something else to rush to? Dance classes, kitchen duty, WORK?! You can’t wait for Friday, but then spend all weekend cleaning up a house and yelling at those who dirtied it, so you can waste a weekend, too? Oops…and there’s Monday again. Coming right around the corner. At what point do we pull off the blinders and realize that time isn’t real? Time is something we’ve constructed, likely for a valid reason to begin with, but now it’s been misused, abused and turned into the enemy.

What is the difference between tomorrow and today? Most of us are in a rut anyway. We do the same things and cultivate the same habits over and over and over. The only way tomorrow will ever be different from today is if we are genuinely looking within and paying attention to the whole truth inside ourselves. At that point we grow rapidly as human beings and are able to wake up to a whole new day, each and ever day.

But beyond that, time is an illusion. There is no tomorrow. There is only today and today is a krazillion years long. And guess what. We have that ‘time’ all the time! Each of us has all the time in the world because right now is always in our pockets, in our schedules and in our presence. Is this starting to make sense? Where are you rushing to get to? You’ll never get anywhere but the present moment. No matter how fast you go, how grumpy you get, or how loudly you plead. Forget about tomorrow. Forget about getting through Christmas, or the weekend, or a busy week. Be there, right where you are, right now. Cause you can’t be anywhere else. It’s never going to happen. Let go of the misery you create for yourself and just allow everything to be what it is.

And for the love of peace and harmony….HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS…even if you don’t celebrate it. It’s a day. It’s already come and it’s already gone, for eternity. It’s a slot in time reserved for merriment and good tidings, but shouldn’t every slot in time be filled with those things? Who’s with me? Let’s start spreading joy right now, and stop being concerned with a tomorrow that doesn’t exist.

Telekinesis For Beginners, A Telekinesis How To

Sunday, November 29th, 2009
Mind Over Matter

Mind Over Matter

So you’ve heard the term ‘telekinesis’ but that’s about it. This article aims to explain telekinesis for beginners, including what the term means, and some exercises; a how-to of sorts. I include this article on my holistic healing website to demonstrate the power of the mind. Learning telekinesis will open up other, more beneficial options for you in the realm of healing.

What is Telekinesis?
Telekinesis, also called psychokinesis, literally means movement from the mind. For anyone who knows about The Force, and the Power of the Jedi from Star Wars… that’s pretty much it. It’s the ability to directly influence a physical object or energy with the power of your mind. Once you can master transforming, or moving simple things with only the power of your mind, you’ll have moved even closer to transforming and healing other things, which to you may seem larger. Imagine if you could play a role in healing yourself or others of disease and sickness?

Is Telekinesis Real?
Well the answer to that depends upon who you talk to. Remember, we believed the Earth was flat for a long, long time. Until someone proved it. Then there were still doubters. People tend to refuse believing in something until they see it with their own eyes. Personally, I’ve seen it done, though I’ve not had great results myself. I believe in many things that don’t sit well with the general population, however. Seems sometimes people are afraid to look outside their normal comfort zones. There’s a big universe out there. Just because we can’t yet see it, or in this case, prove it, doesn’t mean it’s not real.

Common Practices of Telekinesis
For beginners, there are a few common practices. One of the most frequently discussed is that of bending spoons. Many people are able to use the influence of their minds to bend an otherwise unbendable (without some vice grips) spoon. This is an interesting phenomenon, and I’ve seen it done by an unsuspecting friend. He picked up the spoon, followed my direction, and wound it around itself multiple times in about 1 minute flat. He was as surprised and exhilarated as I was!

There are other phenomenon frequently discussed when speaking of telekinesis. Some people report the ability to influence random number generators. Self-levitation could be considered a form of telekinesis, as well as teleportation, some forms of healing, the creation of energy fields and mental telepathy.

How to Use Telekinesis to Bend a Spoon
Below is an awesome video explaining how to bend a spoon. Basically, you hold the spoon, conjure up some energy, think really hard, and it will bend. As I said earlier, I’ve seen it done a number of times and it’s really neat. I would highly suggest trying it, but don’t bend ALL the spoons in your silverware drawer. They are really hard to eat with.

How to Develop Telekinesis
So now you’re interested. Did you bend a spoon? I’ll bet you can do it. Learning how to develop telekinesis is not hard. It’s one of those skills that I believe every one of us has access to. It’s an inevitable talent that can be practiced and mastered. The first thing you must possess in order to learn how to develop telekinesis is desire. You gotta want it! The next thing you’ll need is perseverance. This will take practice. It’s not going to happen overnight, but you might get great results right off the bat. Now that will be fun, won’t it?

Telekinesis Exercises
There are some exercises you can do to help develop your talent with telekinesis. With any exercises involving moving or bending objects, you’ll have to begin by honoring the fact that everything in this universe is made up on energy. Even the heavy stuff. All matter is energy. And energy can be transformed! Meditate or think on this for a while. Allow yourself to become one with whatever object you are attempting to move, or bend, or break.

  • Start with a pen, and a quiet spot with no distractions.
  • Find a pen that rolls easily, but set it in front of you on a surface where it will stay still, like a flat tabletop.
  • Roll the pen back and forth with your hand a couple times. This will ‘mix up’ your energy with the energy of the pen.
  • Move yourself far enough away from the table so that you won’t accidentally bump it and make the pen move.
  • Concentrate.
  • Realize that you and the pen are made of the same energy.
  • Visualize the pen rolling across the table.

The first sign that it’s working might be a subtle vibration of the pen. You might ask yourself if you are really seeing what you think you’re seeing. You are, rest assured. Remember, ‘telekinesis is all in the mind!’ If you decide it’s working, it will work. You will succeed. That’s the kind of power we truly have. When harnessed for good, that power can actually ‘move mountains.’ Just please don’t use your newfound powers of telekinesis to move a mountain. Remember what happened in Bruce Almighty when he romantically moved the moon closer to Earth? Not a good idea.

I hope you have enjoyed this article on telekinesis for beginners. I would love LOVE to hear comments. Try it out and tell me what happens; especially if you are successful!! If you are not, I’ll likely try to give you a bunch of unsolicited advice, since that’s what I do best. Share your stories with me and good luck learning how to develop your innate talent of telekinesis!
