I met my first humming bird the prior weekend up in the mountains and chose to experience the moment rather than take a photo. I ran into my second one at the botanic gardens, they never stop, though you can make it out below.

Botanic Gardens

I hear from time to time that, it's easy for me as I have nature on my door step to relax, that is true, I made a choice to move here. What people forget is that nature is everywhere, I was in the middle of of New York city not so long ago and right next to all these office buildings was open space, with grass, trees, plants and flowers and benches to sit and relax.

Most towns and cities have parks and botanic gardens that are free or low cost and are easy ways to connect with nature. I took a trip around the local botanic gardens which are simply stunning, I observed young and old enjoying the beauty, the color, the aromas, including some in wheel chairs that were finding peace in these surroundings.

Enjoy the photos over the next few days, and then venture out into your own town and see ways to connect with nature.

Abraham Book

The new Abraham book is now out in bookstores and online, it is called the Vortex -Where the law of attraction assembles all cooperative relationships.

I heard Abraham say at a seminar that this is their best book so far, after I get a hold of a copy I will let you know.

Changes

One advantage of the recession is that it forces people and businesses the opportunity to evaluate what they are doing and make adjustments accordingly, when times are good there is a reluctance  to examine things. Some of those changes result in closing stores, different parts of the operation, laying off people, selling off things that don't work etc.

The changes at Starbucks have been well publicized, one good thing that has happened in my opinion is that they have changed their food. They have eliminated all the artificial, flavors, dyes, fats and the big one, high fructose corn syrup and it looks like they  did it  without raising prices.

This may not have happened without the recession and it appears to have come as a result of listening to their customers. If enough people ask, it is given.

This will bring a smile to your face!

Feeling good?

It's just wrong that......

I have been hearing a lot of people commenting about what's wrong at the moment, from what I can gather all of it appears to be the truth. Some people can recite in one conversation several things going wrong at the moment. It is very stressful and it is holding them in a place of resistance and from that place it's quite a challenge to feel good and do well.

Do you want to do well?

Focus on what you want, focus on what is going well, focus on every little success you have past or present, read things that uplift  you, watch things that uplift you, find every reason to be happy that you can.

When you are there and have the taste of all of that and the feeling of all of that why would you choose to go back to focusing on all that is going wrong  and what comes with that.

Or put another way, you really enjoy the feeling of having ice cream and someone offers you tripe instead, which you find to be awful. Why would you choose the tripe which would make you feel bad?

Just a thought.

How Can I feel good when....

The  main topic that is causing a lot of emotional stress here in the USA is all the talk, fear and proposed legislation around the health care changes. The proposals have the aim to have most people insured in the country, there are apparently anywhere from 40-50 million people without health insurance right now. The bill currently being given attention in congress right now has just over 1000 pages and to do this it will cost money, how to pay for it all is the main sticking point.

With all that in mind, I'm asked how can I feel good when this is all going on, how can I feel good when I will have to pay more, how can I feel good when, I have to subsidize others who make different health choices, how can I feel good when my taxes will go up, how can I feel good when Obama is spending money like a drunken sailor. These are the common ones that have been coming up.

All of those have at their core what people don't want, don't want to pay more, don't want higher taxes, don't want all this spending, don't want to subsidize all those people drinking sodas and beer, or smoking it's not healthy.

The first step therefore is to start focusing on what you do want as opposed to what you don't want to ease some of the resistance. How does this sound? I want to have as many people insured as possible, I want to maintain my own coverage and access to health care, I want this to be financed in such a way as to be deficit neutral, I want to test this out on a small scale to see if it works well or not then roll it out throughout the country after it has been proved that it does. I want to let my congressional representative to know what I want.

How does that feel?

For most it will feel easier, for some they will still be stuck on what they don't want. Then I would ask them to do some research on Massachusetts, where 97% or so of the population has coverage now, with reasonable, premiums and deductibles and where there is no rationing of health care and no riots in the streets about health care. They do have a problem that costs are rising at a high level (as they are world wide). That might take some of the fear away?

I can feel good about it all  when I think about what I want, I can feel better that enough people might prevail on congress to fine tune the Massachusetts model for a year or so until the costs are under control and then expand it through out the country.

At the end of the day if I'm forced to have health insurance and higher taxes, I know the universe will balance things out so I can come out even, I know this as that's the way it has been working for  me as I'm open to receiving prosperity from any source at any time.

That's how I feel good when these things come up, I invite you to align with that or something similar to free you up to see what else is going on in the world, it's a fun time.

People Lie 3

That is probably not the correct headline, though it keeps this little series linked together. Abraham was recently in town and as usual, actually more than usual it was a great time, more about that later though.

I saw the lady and recognized her, couldn't quite place her though, anyway she was called up to the hotseat by Abraham and within seconds I knew she was the same lady who was called up last year too. What was memorable about her was Abraham spent a lot of time with her last year and it was a struggle, she had some issues going and was mystified as to why it was happening. Despite all the probing by Abraham, she was not biting, or recognizing where she was going wrong, and near the end of time she did open up a little about something.

Well she was up there again and the issues had gotten worse as they will if not addressed, doctors had been no help and her life in her words was fun and skippy. Now you should know that no one in the real world is like that all the time, myself included. Yet despite the lengthy probing, she still would not open up, Abraham did manage to get her to accept that she must be  out of the  vortex (Abraham's new word for alignment). they even gave her a couple of areas and everything was prefect she said.

When this happens and I believe this to be the case here, people feel such shame or wrongness about having negative or less than positive thoughts and feelings about others they close it off, or are so used to that they don't know they are doing it anymore, or to admit to it would cause some great punishment (as if that pain is not enough punishment).

This lady is clearly suffering and it will get worse until she or anyone in a similar situation is willing to acknowledge the internal anger, anguish and other emotions about different topics in her/their life. From that point a solution can be provided to move forward and be released from that suffering.

The truth will set you free from that suffering, one step, one issue at a time. As Abraham states if not don't worry it (the issue) will get bigger.  

People Lie 2

On a recent flight, my seatmate was a doctor and we had a good chat about our different healing worlds. It reminded me of a TV show I enjoy called House. Dr House investigates challenging cases and starts with the premise that the patient lies and sends his team out to see what the lies are which help solve the case.

I asked my seatmate doctor if runs in to that often and he replied a lot of the time. People lie about what they smoke, drink and eat which makes his work difficult, sometimes impossible, yet the truth can make treatment easier.

In my line of work, I run into this as well, if I can pick something up I will probe a little and see if the client will go there and sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. It just takes longer to get results if it's the latter. Other times I can feel something off and can't get to it as it's hidden, when energy is hidden, it's hidden! Probing can help open it up, it just takes time.

Hiding something like how much you drink, eat or cheat creates tension in the body, that tension becomes pain or disease in time. I asked the doctor if he would judge the person if they told the truth that they were having a problem, he said on the contrary he would be more sympathetic and offer solutions. I feel that would be quite common in the medical field and certainly true in the alternative world.

Keep in mind the truth will set you free and there are always solutions.
