FIVE STEPS TO CREATE CHANGE

With all of the amazing energy pouring into our planet right now, this is the time to make changes in your life.  Use this magnificent opportunity to focus your mental Attention and the Intent of your Being to transform your life.  Attention and Intention are a powerful force.  Then just add a little action and the changes begin.

There are Five Steps To Change that can help make the process easier. 

1. The first step to change is awareness of what you want to change. 
2. The next step is to understand the current system you are using.
3.  Then discover which part of your current system is not working toward what you want.
4.  Create a new step or habit for that part of your system.
5.  Be Persistent.   
 
Although these Five Steps can be used and adapted for almost anything you would like to change, let’s use the example of applying The Five Steps to the clutter in your home from the mail you receive.

The goal is to change the habit that is creating the problem, and then clean up the mess the old habit created.  In the example of the mail clutter, you are changing the habit or system that creates the unopened piles of mail, so no more mail is piling up.  Then you can begin to more easily clean up the old clutter.

The secret is that you are creating a new habit, which takes about 21 days.  So be patient with yourself and persistent for about 3 weeks.  Very soon your new habit will become natural and you will easily handle the situation in a smooth and comfortable manner.

Below are each of the five steps explained a little more fully.     
 
1. Notice the clutter, where it is and how you would like it to be.  Like the mail piles up on the kitchen table and goes unanswered, misplaced and the pile continues to grow until you finally clean it up or just put it all in boxes to get out of sight and the next pile of mail begins again.      
 
2. Notice what you currently do with the mail.  You manage to bring it in and put it on the table.  Good, that part is working.  Then it just sits there unopened except when it is essential like to find a bill and pay it.  The rest of the mail just continues to pile up along with the stack of already opened mail that needs to be filed.     
 
3. Notice the part of the system that is not working. In this example, the clutter is created once you leave it unopened on the table.     
 
4.  Create a new step for that part.  Now that you know where you old habit starts to not support your goal you can decide what is the best way to change that step. Maybe you will find that it helps keep a wastebasket right near the table where you set down the mail.  Then when you bring in the mail you can easily go through it and quickly throw away all the junk mail.  Then perhaps you might decide to have a little box or holder right there where you can put the mail that you need to handle, like bills or correspondence.  And another holder for other non essential mail you want to look at more leisurely. 
Great!  Did you notice, with just this simple change you have now already discarded the junk mail and sorted the rest of the mail for easier access.  Congratulations!!!  Well done!!   
 
5. Be Persistent.  Continue to practice your new habit each time you bring in the mail.  As part of your new habit you will also need to Create a regular time when you take care of the mail you have put in the different boxes.  The more often the better!   Once you choose when to take care it, stick to the plan.  Remember, you are creating a new habit, and that takes about 21 days.  Perhaps your plan is to go through the little holders of sorted mail on every Saturday morning.  Or perhaps you will decided that a better time for you is Tuesday evenings while listening to some favorite music or maybe the news.  Or you might decide that your best plan is every day after dinner to spend 10 minutes taking care of a few of the items.  Whatever it is, find a system that works for you and stick to it. Maybe you will also choose to have a small file close by to file away the bills and paperwork that have been completed. Maybe you will find it is helpful to immediately put the catalogues and magazines someplace where you will see them and enjoy them during the week.      
 
Now you are off to a great start and making a wonderful change in your life. 

Remember, consistent little steps create great change.

11-11-11
What is it all about? 
There has been a lot of talk and speculation around the impending 11-11-11 (Nov. 11, 2011) and its significance. Of course one of the significant things is that it is Remembrance Day, and while we do not want to focus on war, the more we can be aware that there are much better, and life affirming solutions, the more we can move that direction as a society.

All of the hype around 11-11-11 has been fun and interesting, with several theories suggesting this is a portal into a new world. Portals and best theories aside, what I do know is that 11 is a master number about new beginnings and illumination. So when you put three 11′s together, it has to be a good thing. 

Regardless of the significance of this particular date, it has attracted a lot of attention, and as such there will be millions of people around the world meditating and praying for peace and love on this  day…now that definitely is a good thing!

Have you ever heard the expression from A Course in Miracles the “every behavior is a call for love”. Seems like a simple enough statement, but there is certainly a depth of meaning to that. Think about it, really think about what that might mean. It can change the way you look at the world, maybe even makes it a little easier to forgive self and others.

What excites me about this time, is that all of those millions of people will be responding to the call WITH LOVE.  How great is that, millions of people focused on love? Please join me in the call of love tomorrow, in what ever way you are able to. If you are unable to participate in a live event in your area, do a little search online for 11-11-11 meditations, 11-11-11 activations or 11-11-11 events, and you are sure to find something that resonates with you that you can take part in from home.  One of the sites I would recommend is www.templeofsacredsound.org where you can join Jonathan Goldman to do a verbal meditation for love any time of the day. He recommends 11:11 am or pm, but please go there anytime today and send YOU LOVE around the world and out into the universe. For that matter go into the temple everyday if you would like to. 

My Angel Friend Bonnie has written excellent words for today’s event. I thought I would share her words here.

My message from Spirit has been similar. In addition, I have been “told” that there will be a “Spiritual Enlightenment Download” from the heavens. It has been said that this craziness that we have all been feeling (especially in the past 3-4 months) is aligning us for this phenomenon!

Today is a special. With so much focus on the “Laws of Attraction” out there via websites, books, lectures, etc., most of you are probably already aware of how your thoughts can manifest actions… results. Be careful what you think, especially today as the Universe is in WARP SPEED today with your thoughts. The vibration of 1.11.11 is all about the frequency of the number one. In numerology, the one is beginnings, foundation, new beginnings, individualism, leadership. In Angel Therapy the number 111 brings up the thoughts into manifestation quickly! So with all of the “ones” today, know that your thoughts will become reality (good or bad) depending on what you think. THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS!

You might even consider: lighting a blessed candle (yes you can bless it yourself); meditating; looking at old family photos with loving thoughts and memories; calling a friend and talking about your love and friendship (not a gripe session); listen to one of those modivational cds that you have put away; listen to music that fills your heart and soul with good thoughts and feelings.

Blessings Dear Ones. Be gentle and loving to yourself and those around you. Remember, YOUR THOUGHTS become your REALITY!

Beyond the Physical
We are Beings of Light

We are all beings of light, spiritual beings having a human experience. We are filled with divine grace and power that is ours for the asking.

We are all beings of light. Put another way, we are spiritual beings having a human experience. As children, most of us know this, but other human beings who have forgotten what they really are and who cannot help us to know ourselves train us to forget. As a result, we are led to believe that magic is not real, that our invisible playmates do not really exist, and that we are limited beings with only one earthly life to live. There is enormous pressure to conform to this concept of ourselves and so we lose touch with our full potential, forgetting that we are beings of light.

At this time, many of us are reawakening to the truth of who we are, because we are living amidst such large-scale changes in the world. We need to access this light in order to not only survive but thrive as we shift into a new order of consciousness. As the changes around us proceed in rapid progression, we will want to be able to trust our own ability to sense what is happening and how we can best respond. We are no longer living in a predictable world in which we can trust external authority figures and prior ideas about reality to guide us. We need to be able to access the information that will help us navigate these uncertain waters, and the ultimate authority resides in our awareness of ourselves as beings of light.

It is through our connection to this light that we know things beyond what the visible world can tell us, and we see things beyond what the physical world reveals. In order to access this wisdom, we can simply allow ourselves to remember that we are not limited, as we have been taught. In fact, we are filled with divine grace and power that is ours for the asking. A daily practice of tuning into this vast potential, conversing with it, and offering ourselves up to it opens the door through which we can reclaim our true identity, taking ownership of the calling that the time has come to create bliss on earth.
