Energy Coach Online

Sometimes I feel like I’m in the ego management business — in the midst of finishing a new book, preparing to launch The Shadow Effect, building two new websites, creating an amazing web space for my coaches, leading workshops and trainings, making brochures, Twittering and updating my Facebook status, mothering, and more. It can be overwhelming and bring up the most earthly behaviors — mine and others. Of course, I’m in denial when they’re mine and appalled when they’re somebody else’s. That’s the way of the ego, the way of the shadow and its mighty defense called projection.

I woke up this morning asking, “What’s the answer?” How do you get through life each day when you’re in overwhelm, when there is more on your plate than you can handle, or when life is just not behaving as it should? I needed some solace (peace) so I went digging around in my next book The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse to find it. I thought I’d attend one of my own lectures. And right there on page 12, I got relief. Even though the book is not out until September, I wanted to share what shifted me with you.

It is your soul’s journey to bring into balance all of what you are — the coexistence of opposites, the divine integration of the sum of all the parts. It is the soul’s journey to enroll the ego in the quest for the ultimate victory — the evolution of your own individual consciousness. But the journey must begin by choosing between two forces: one has the power to lead you to new heights; the other can keep you pinned down to a past that is filled with limitation and dread.

Don’t be fooled. You’re living either an ego-driven life or one that is soul centered. The soul discerns with a laser like sharpness. The ego judges and rejects with disdain and aggressiveness. The soul takes responsibility.

The ego blames and transfers responsibility. The soul moves through life with grace. The ego moves through life with sloppiness, chaos, and drama. The soul feels good about who it is and what it wants and needs to sustain itself, to grow and evolve. The ego never has enough; it can never leave well enough alone or see beyond the current circumstances. It is entitled, confused and feels stuck.

The ego is tirelessly swimming against the current, while the soul sits back and floats in the direction that life is moving in. You’re either being guided by your soul or driven by your ego. At any time, you have access to either of these lifestyles, and to all the experiences and emotions they bring with them.

After reading these short paragraphs, I realized that all there was for me to do in the midst of the turmoil was to choose the journey of my sweet soul — to tune in, to listen even more deeply and to stay committed to a higher vibration — the vibration of love, peace and success…my soul’s success.

So of course I’ll ask you like I asked myself, “What can you do this week to make this human experience more loving, more honest and more soulful?” I hope you remember that, in the midst of an ego attack, you too can choose a higher vibration. It is the only true path to your soul’s success.

While I was listening yesterday to Jennifer McLean’s  Healing With The Masters  and her special guest Stephen Lewis on self-healing with the spiritual technology of the AIM Program I remembered that I came across his name about 2 years ago in Wayne Dyer’s  program”There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem”. I did check it out on the Internet then, as I do almost always when something catches my attention, but “sans plus”. I probably was not ready for it.

Now that it is surfacing again in my world I feel quite excited. If our glitches and stuff  holding us down can be released by being exposed to programmed frequencies, how revolutionary and how great is that!!! Although I have obviously not tried it yet, but do intend to “get on the tray” as soon as possible, I feel in my gut that this could be the answer to humanity’s eternal search for healing and general well being.

There is so much false promise of a better, more abundant, happier life out there, available to us for a bunch of dollars; but most of it feels phony right from the start. This one feels like a real thing to me.

And although my European mind got irritated and confused by all the legal jargon in the application my intention to get on that tray is still strong.

N.B. The AIM is generously providing free participation in the program for children with Autism and Down Syndrome.

Stephen Lewis seems to be an authentic guy with a great sense of humor; two qualities I admire deeply.That’s why I am bringing here his article on healing.

As for Jennifer McLean I feel her as a great healer and a natural interviewer who knows how to listen to her guests, ask pertinent questions  without having the little white dog of her ego interfering. Her program  Healing With The Masters is going on for 2 more weeks, so don’t miss it.

What Is This Thing Called Healing
By Stephen Lewis

I keep avoiding every request to write an article on, “Just What Is This Thing Called Healing”. The problem is, it’s too big. Healing is inextricably bound to spirituality and both are inseparable from consciousness. The problem with consciousness is I don’t know where it begins and there is no end. Just as there’s always more and greater consciousness, ultimately, there is always more and greater healing until, at last, one heals the rift of his separation from the universe… and from his creator, and even then we must heal our collective separation from our universe. But, that’s for later, for now, we best begin at the ridiculous and work our way up toward the sublime.

First of all, if you have a shaving cut you will not need to go on disability, and should not quit your day job. The consciousness required to heal it is of the most primitive type, e.g. the limbic system. (Remember the classic neurology joke. The limbic system is in charge of the 4 F’s: Fight, Flight, Feeding, and Reproduction).

Leaving limbic man behind, let’s consider healing the “bigger stuff”, like cancer, brain damage… any of the heavyweights. Now, it’s absolutely true, that we heal with consciousness, but one does not have to be more conscious to heal an untreatable disease or to repair irreparable damage. In fact, one may be totally self-involved (which is diametrically opposed to conscious), and yet routinely perform apparent “miracles” of healing. Healing ones body is not necessarily a function of higher consciousness, but rather, a function of more focused consciousness.

In simple terms, if you focus on healing something, you will probably do it. This, at its most basic level is a function of the AIM Program of Energetic Balancing. You are compelled to focus on healing each and every imbalance (If it’s in our database), 24/7… Until you have healed them. Again, that is healing ones body. In fact, there is almost no choice offered you, because healing ones body is survival and survival as we know is a very basic instinct. It is part of a package you should have gotten at no extra cost when you came here.

All that being said (or written) we do have a choice to make and we are, ultimately, the result of the power of our intention.

Here is the way it works. There is nothing random or accidental in the universe… or in its inhabitants. If you are born with the propensity for cancer, heart disease, etc (hereditary, ancestral, past life, karmic… ?) and even if your propensity becomes an active reality at the level of you that is truly eternal your propensity your disease is not causal, but is a symptom of a deep, deeper, deepest problem. It is a symptom of a fundamental disease of your soul, and that disease of your soul can not be healed by you without increasing your consciousness.

I believe that to the extent that your (our) consciousness is not total and quantum, there is a fragmentation, a disharmony between your soul and the composite soul of the universe… which I call God.

I believe that as long as this disharmony exists we will develop “symptoms” which we call diseases. We may heal these “symptoms” such as cancer, heart disease, MS, but as we heal each one new “symptoms” will appear, and so on and so on, until each of us perceives or understands that these are symptoms and that the real disease is the choice we have made, and continue to make to separate ourselves from everything and everyone in the universe.

That separation is your only disease, and it is volitional. It is the cause, everything else is an effect.

So, this gives rise to an entirely new class of questions. Who separated each of us from our universe? What perpetuates that separation? How do we break this cycle? How can we regain our soul, rather than spend our lives waiting for the next symptom? Easy, or, at least, easily answered. As always, “the devil is in the details.”

Each of us has his very own personal and private abyss, and it is just that… a “seemingly” bottomless pit that we can never fill. It’s a scary place, the abyss, and so, considerate beings that we are, we isolate it. First we try to hide it and, if that doesn’t work, we protect others from it. We build walls, put up fences, post signs, “DANGER KEEP OUT” and “NO TRESPASSING.”

I think the contradiction here is becoming apparent. Your abyss is your illusion. In fact, it’s only threatening to one person in the world, and that would be, uh, you.
I can fly in your abyss. I can soar and glide. I can play in your abyss. I can love be loved make love and love you in your abyss. Again, your abyss is an illusion. It’s my abyss that’s frightening. And so on and so on…

Your abyss is what separates you from your soul, and from the personal and collective souls of everyone else. Well, the good news is you can fill your abyss, just as you can heal your soul. The bad news is, you can not do it alone. You need the help of me and a few billion others who are ready, willing and able. All you need to provide is a little courage.The courage that is required is to face whatever it is you keep in your abyss, whatever it is you fear. Tear down your walls and fences. Remove your warning signs. Invite every curious creature in the universe to peek into your abyss and feed and pet the monster who lives there. Put a ribbon around its neck. Monsters don’t do well with ribbons. There are a lot of curious creatures out there, and you know what’s going to happen? It’ll get over crowded, they’re going to fill up that void and you’ll have nothing left to hide from and no place to hide in. You will have healed your soul from it’s “original disease”, and, obviously, once that’s gone you can’t have any new symptoms. I could go on and on but I think you understand what I mean. All I can close with is, hopefully, we shall all find the courage to join hands and join forces and join souls… in the oneness.

BINGO.

I guess most of us have discovered Abraham by now, I personally enjoy him very much.

Here is another from a series of  quotes from Abraham’s newest book, Money and the Law of Attraction… Learning to Attract Wealth, Health and Happiness available for worldwide delivery on August 12, 2008.

I Don’t Need to Have Money to Attract Money. . .

You do not have to have money to attract money, but you cannot feel poor and attract money. The key is, you have to find ways of improving the way you feel from right where you stand before things can begin to change: By softening your attention to the things that are going wrong, and by beginning to tell stories that lean more in the direction of what you want instead of in the direction of what you have got, your vibration will shift; your point of attraction will shift-and you will get different results.

Those who work from home and those who own their business will probably resonate with Mark Silver’s article on  discipline versus flow.

 I did, because I am one of them. There are times when procrastination kicks in, especially when the sun is shinning and we would much prefer to be digging in our garden (provided we have one) then answering emails, creating products or writing bills.

Doing business from our heart is what Mark is all about.  I quite enjoy his articles; they are in line with my vision of business, the one that appeals to my heart.

Discipline Versus Flow in Your Business

It’s Wednesday morning, and a stack of to-do’s in your business await you. You need to get on your marketing, you need to deal with the bookkeeping, and those pesky clients keep needing things from you.

And you don’t feel like doing any of it. Instead, you want to just read a book.

So, what do you do? Is it better to apply discipline and push through, or do you ‘go with the flow’ and go settle in with that book and a hot cuppa?

For clarity’s sake, I think I need to dig a little deeper into what we’re actually talking about.

What is ‘discipline’?

Well, the Oxford American Dictionary says, among other things, that discipline comes from the Latin root meaning “instruction, knowledge.” And, our modern meaning states “an activity or experience that provides mental or physical training.”

Think of the word ‘disciple.’ Broadly speaking, it’s an attempt to follow what’s true, through learning.

Okay, so what is ‘Flow.’

One definition of flow is to ‘circulate continuously within a particular system.’ When we say “go with the flow” we general mean: “accept the situation as is, rather than trying to alter or control it.”

The state of flow is often flung about as an ideal place to be in business. That you should feel an continuous feeling of ease and movement from one thing to the next.

That’s nothing to complain about. However, it does require a certain level of discernment.

Professional Wrestling: Novel and Tea versus the To-Do Army.

You’ve still got that bunch of stuff to do, and you still want to just flop out on the couch. And after reading a buncha word origins from the Latin you’re no closer to choosing. The couch feels snuggly, but a cop-out, and the tasks feel oppressive.

Sounds like it’s time for a little discipline.

The Sufi Teaching on Discipline

The spiritual path is hard work. It just is. But, not in the way you might think.

The hard work comes in being vigilant about the ego. The ego is crafty sucker, always trying to get control, impersonating God, and a variety of other slippery things.

Discipline is required, but not blind, unthinking discipline. It’s the discipline related to learning, to being a disciple. And this learning is about being able to discern between the voice of the ego and the voice of your heart.

Because, you see, there are no hard-and-fast-rules. The ego could be telling you to push through your to-do’s, and your heart could be guiding to relax with a novel and tea. Or vice-versa.

The outer circumstances will give you absolutely zero clues on which way to go. It’s unfortunate, but true.

And, the inner landscape can be a little tricky. As a client asked in the Opening the Money flow course: “Whenever I ask in my heart, I hear something like: ‘that’s a lesson for you.’ Is that really a message of the Divine?”

After I asked I few more questions, nope, it sure wasn’t. So how do you discern? And, you don’t have all day to do this- the minutes are ticking by alarmingly fast, and you still haven’t decided: tea or tasks?

Well, quick! Let’s take a look.

When we are comming from the heart and not the mind the communication has a completly different quality. The reclusive founder of HeartMath, Doc Childre, opens his new website with Heart-Based Living, a paper showing how we can transform the earth by the awakening of heart-based intelligence.

Heart-basedliving.org - By Doc Childre

an excerpt

In the last few years, more people than ever - from different backgrounds and walks of life - are talking about the heart. More company mission statements make a point to mention the importance of the heart in leadership and customer care.

More speakers, articles and books, both spiritual and non-spiritual, are referring to the heart. Whether people mention speaking from the heart, listening to the heart, connecting with the heart, or following the heart, it is a clear sign that there is increased energetic awareness of the importance of the heart in all of life’s decisions.

This desire for more heart is a growing momentum, one that people seem to be drawn to by the nudge of their own intuition or conscience. It’s being experienced by millions who are coming into more global awareness and feel an internal need for the deeper connection and nurturing of spirit that comes from heart-based interactions.

This interaction can be within a person’s own mind and heart or between people who are trying to build community to facilitate personal growth and planetary peace through cooperative interaction. To read more or download Heart-basedliving.org

 I have not been listening to my favorite Hay House Radio for sometime, but then I listened to 2 last Michael Neill’s shows and during both of them had an aha effect. They are called “The Three Obstacles to Wealth and How to Think Like a Creator I recommend them highly.

Then today I came across this email in my Inbox; I am posting it as it came. Yeah, you figured it already, I am a fan.

  CLEAN PAIN, DIRTY PAIN

“Laughter is the highest form of prayer.”

-Reinhold Niebuhr

In her wonderful new book “Steering by Starlight”, Martha Beck tells the story of how her Down syndrome son Adam proudly brought his new watch to school, only to see it broken by a friend who accidentally dropped it on the floor.  Their teacher felt so bad on Adam’s behalf that she continued to scold Adam’s
friend for the rest of the day and on into the next.

As she tells the story in her book…

“…while the class was working quietly on a project, Adam approached (the teacher’s) desk.

‘Ms. Morrison,’ he observed politely, ‘it was my watch.’

‘I know, honey,’ Ms. Morrison groaned, feeling just awful.  ’I shouldn’t have let you lend it to Jared.’

‘No,’ said Adam, frowning with frustration. ‘It was *my* watch.’

‘And it was awful that he broke it.  I’m so sorry.’

Adam began to laugh.  Then, for several seconds, he thought very hard, the way he does when he absolutely has to make himself understood.

‘Ms. Morrison,’ he said very slowly, ‘it… was… *my*…watch.  Not… yours.’

He looked at her intently to see if she’d get it.  And then, for Ms. Morrison, the light dawned.

‘Oh,’ she said.  ’You mean I should let it go?’

Adam burst out laughing again, heaved a huge sigh of relief, and went happily back to his seat.”

What I love about this story is that it so clearly demonstrates the difference between what Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) pioneer Steven Hayes calls “clean pain” and “dirty pain”.

“Clean pain” is inherent in life itself - the things we love will be broken or lost, the people we love will die, and our own bodies will grow old (if we’re lucky) and die.  Yet along with “clean pain” comes the ability to bear it - the strength inside to bear whatever life throws at us and come out the other side stronger than before.

“Dirty pain” is much more difficult, because it is self-generated and self-maintained.  It is the suffering we create for ourselves in the privacy of our own mind, spinning stories about what it all means and why our pain is “different”.

It’s the pain that comes from thinking that our lives ended with the life of the man or woman we love, or the hundreds of daily assaults we put ourselves through in our thoughts when our body only had to experience one assault, one time.

“Dirty pain” is so painful in part because we are not biologically designed to combat it.  All the adrenaline in the world won’t help you fight an imaginary dragon, and so instead the slings and arrows of our outrageous fortune find new targets in the people and world around us.

But the good news (you did realize there was going to be good news, didn’t you? is that simply recognizing the difference between the essential pain of being human and the self-generated suffering of your thoughts is the beginning of the end of that suffering.

No matter how scary a movie you may be watching, the second you remember that you’re in a movie theatre being “entertained” by flickering images on a screen, the bulk of that fear will drain away.  And the moment you begin to notice that you’re not afraid of what you think you’re afraid of - you’re afraid of what you think - your own fear of life will begin to fade and be replaced by the essential bliss of existence.

What I have learned since I first began to study for myself the nature of what it is to be a human being over twenty years ago is that the old adage is true:

Pain is inevitable;
Joy is available;
Suffering is optional -
But you’ll have to provide it for yourself.

With love,
Michael

 I  am very fond of Abraham’s work; here is an excerpt from Esther’s and Jerry’s workshop:

Always, when you know what you don’t want, that’s when the rocket of desire is born of what you do want. That is the fruit of your experience. Now pluck it and savor it and enjoy it.

 Visualize it, and find the feeling place of it. And live happily ever after, once you get the hang of this.

Excerpted from a workshop in Spokane, WA on Wednesday, July 7th, 1999

I haven’t read it yet, it is still in the mail, but since the 12Keys2Bliss course was inspired by it, it certainly is worth reading.The book is called Everyday Bliss For Busy Women.
