Co-creation

We are in a highly creative time, NOW.

You can give yourself a highly effective home study course by using the principles in these books.

Creating Money, by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer

Money and the Law of Attraction, by Esther and Jerry Hicks

Ask and It is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks

And, 

The Tao of Allowing, by G.P. Walsh

Many years ago I taught a year-long course for 16 participants. I titled it Spiritual Prosperity. We met twice a month in my home and used the top three books among several others as our texts. The Tao of Allowing is a most important current addition. We must know we are allowed to allow and receive our good.

We were all Channels and Healers and accustomed to working with the Divine in meditation, prayer, and using our intuition. This Course was about creating miracles in our lives and bringing to fruition our purposes and desires. 

We gave each other support and reported our personal miracles to each other, sometimes daily.

It was a joyful, fun, and rewarding class for me to give– to hear the participants’ stories of receiving the fruition of long held desires that they thought were impossible to accomplish.

I’m sharing these ideas today so you can utilize these thoughts and feelings to co-create and manifest your own desires.

Determine your current, heart felt soul desires first. Ask the Universe of good, your Source, the Divine as clearly as you can, your wishes. Then  Allow it so you can receive it.

Your feelings are your guide.

“There really is only one important question for you to ask: ‘How can I bring myself into vibrational alignment with the desires that my experience has produced?‘

“And the answer is simple:  “Pay attention to the way you feel and deliberately choose thoughts —about everything—that feel good to you when you think them.”- Esther and Jerry Hicks

Happy creating,

Paradise Is Where You Are

Spiritual Prosperity, , , , , ,

“Wherever my travels may lead, paradise is where I am.” ― Voltaire

Esther and Jerry Hicks have been teaching the principles of deliberate creation for about three decades.

I have loved  their “Teachings of Abraham” as they are simple to apply and get results. I’ve felt that they definitely come from a higher place. After all of these years, also, their work has helped shift the consciousness of hundreds of thousands of people. 

I have used their book Ask and It Is Given in classes I have taught. My favorite part is “going up the emotional ladder” and how to shift negatives to positives, knowing how important your feelings are. Their books are all a reminder of the power of the Law of Attraction. ‘What is like unto itself is drawn.”

The little book I’m highlighting today is Manifest Your Desires: 365 Ways to Make Your Dreams a Reality, by Esther and Jerry Hicks, The Teachings of Abraham.

I wanted to share a couple of passages that are some of my favorites. Source is Father Mother God, or the Universe of Love light and well Being without any Religious charge on the word. I also like this little book because of the colors and Nature Art. Every day is a different color, the infinite variety of nature.

Two passages from the book:

I have found in my own experience that taking the time to go up the emotional scale until I am feeling love and appreciation makes all the difference in my day. The Hicks  teach that every morning, when you awaken have a rampage of appreciation, create your own book of positive aspects, and meditate for 15 minutes. I have found that doing this consistently makes all the difference in my awareness to move towards my good and create amazing moments and miracles.

If you haven’t worked with these principles yet, give them a try. We have entered the Golden Age of Aquarius where Love is the Power and Creating heaven on Earth is our purpose.

Have fun and joy in your unique contributions for the good of ALL.

The Golden Age of Aquarius—Continued

A Higher perspective, , , , , , , , , ,

When I was growing up and asked my mom for something I really wanted, she would often say: “We’ll see. Let’s let it unfold.” Combined with that thought was the affirmation I had learned in church from Mary Baker Eddy, which was, “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need.” That affirmation and my mom’s “Let’s let it unfold,” are good ways to understand the Now of our new world. In allowing for our wishes to unfold, we can allow the cooperative components of Universal love to play their part in our manifestations as Abraham, through the Hicks‘ material, teaches. I have seen many demonstrations of Always Meeting My Need just at the perfect time. One such occurrence happened yesterday; I received Summer with the Leprechauns in the mail.

Over the last few years, since about 2011, several of my friends have asked me, “Have you read Summer with the Leprechauns?” I would answer, “No, but I really want to.” I attempted to order it a few times, but the order didn’t go through, and I left it for another time, which is Now. Perfect timing.

Wonderful. So many aspects of our New Earth of communing and learning from the elementals in Ireland are described. The story is very engaging, because the author, Tanis Hellliwell, is experiencing a relationship with a Leprechaun family whose mission is to teach humans the ways of the elementals. I am learning so many new perspectives for helping and healing Mother Earth and assisting the elementals in their work. From the simple ways to chose foods that are good for us and not harmful to the beings that help them grow, to watching what thoughts and emotional energy we send into the world.

I believe this is the perfect time for You to read this book. So much joy and enlightenment.

Another treasure that I just had the good fortune to see is a documentary film on Netflix, My Octopus Teacher. This incredible story would have been unbelievable and relegated to a whimsical “fairy tale” just a few years ago. The viewer gets to experience first hand the relationship the videographer has with an octopus. His skill and sensitivity create such a beautiful documentary that is very inspiring. Our connections with all of creation are documented in a very unique and loving way.

After seeing this beautiful creation and reading Summer with the Leprechauns, I can’t help but feel the urgency for all of us to awaken and realize in a very real sense we are all needed and integral parts of Mother Nature, Divine Love and the elementals .

We are all needed to bring our joy, intelligence and love to be shared by all in our Golden Age, which is present NOW.

Spiritual Prosperity, the Unified Field and You (Part Three)

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” – The Bible (John 1:1, NIV)

That quote from The Bible has inspired many, including me, to wonder “what is the Word that is God”? That question has been like a kōan for me, like “ What is the sound of one hand clapping?” Searching for that “Word” has led me to many spiritual teachings and the Unified Field.

We looked at the main attributes of the Divine last week and the 25 qualities of the Unified Field, and we can draw the conclusion that these are the Words that are God. Though still there is the Divine Mystery of what is “THE Word?”

Esther and Jerry Hicks have discovered in their work with the Teachings of Abraham, that our Source, God, is Vibration, and when we are aligned with this Vibration of our Creator we feel Good. When we feel Good, we attract our Good. Could it be this simple? I believe it is.

So we may draw the conclusion that the “ Word” is Vibration. Movement and Frequencies are Vibrations. Magnetic resonance is a Vibration. The permutations of Frequencies, Magnetism and Vibrations are infinite as our Source, God, is infinite. This is why a favorite melody or song can lift us to a higher state of being. Many spiritual traditions have studied and learned about specific sound Vibrations that heal through the human energy fields: Tibetan Bells, crystal bowls, tuning forks, pianos, guitars and flutes, to name a few. Vibration.

How do these concepts relate to Us and our Lives? Appreciation, Gratitude and Thankfulness are Vibrations that align us with our Divine Source. These qualities are the same Frequency or Vibration as Love. Since Love is the most potent Vibration of Life, we can feel aligned with God through the practice of Appreciation.

I love the Hicks’ expression of having a “rampage of Appreciation.” Often the word “rampage” might be used in a more negative connotation. In my own life, rampages of Appreciation have lifted me out of some very difficult circumstances. One Word of Love and Appreciation can turn us to the direction of our Good.

As you work with your own Spiritual Prosperity, find songs, music, symbols, movements, foods, activities, Art, books or movies that never fail to uplift you with your own unique preferences. Included here is one song that always uplifts me and makes me appreciate my life, The Divine and nature: Morning Has Broken, by Cat Stevens. My favorite lyrics are, “Praise for them springing fresh from the Word,” and “…Eden saw play.” Yes, it is time for us to play.

Appreciate, Love, Sing, Dance or Play. You will be aligned with your Creator and attract your Good.

Flowers never fail to uplift me. Today the photos are of cultivated and wild flowers in Idaho and Wyoming. Petunias are very popular in this part of the world. Their fragrance is so sweet and vivid colors are stunning. The wild ones here are growing at 9,600 feet by God’s Grace. So lovely.

Mastering the Art of Creating, Allowing and Receiving Your Highest Good

Spiritual Prosperity, , , , , , , ,

“The
Good that is for you is your God. Do you not move toward your Good?”
-Emma Curtis Hopkins, Scientific Christian Mental Practice

“As you think thoughts that feel good to you, you will be in harmony with who you really are.”
– Abraham, via Esther and Jerry Hicks

Every thing is created out of the divine qualities of Life, Truth and Love.
– Sananda

We are made in the image and likeness of our Creator, hence we are creators.

We can use these principals to create. Self Love is the key to create, allow and receive our good.

We are in a time on our dear Mother Earth that is ripe with a need for our creativity and the power of our collective consciousness to manifest new levels of health, wealth and needed solutions to a myriad of planetary problems. You have the answers, and so do I. The key, as the Hicks have taught us, is releasing resistance and allowing our good. Allowing and receiving our good is Self Love. Our Self Love will radiate love to others.

When I’m in resistance, I struggle to even remember the definition of resistance. Abraham teaches us that resistance is being in a vibration that doesn’t match our Creator’s vibration. Thinking thoughts that stem from fear is resistance. Believing in separation from our Creator and our good is resistance.

I taught a year -long Spiritual Prosperity class with 15 participants on creating and manifesting miracles and our good. We met in my home for a few hours every two weeks. Part of the class was channeled by me from Sananda and my high self, part was a group meditation and channeling from all in our circle, and part was sharing our miracle manifestations and anecdotes of using and demonstrating the prosperity principles we had learned.

One of the very important principles I learned, and keep learning, is noticing and releasing resistance to my good. In the class, each week I would assign homework that was designed to enhance the practical and useful aspects of the Spiritual principles we were studying. What stood out to me was that usually only half or less of our group did the homework or any practice between our meeting times. We had all agreed that we wanted to increase our good, so I kept asking the Divine why this was so.

I realized that the resistance to completing the homework assignments was the same resistance we all had to allowing and receiving our good– the very same resistance that was keeping out our desires for wealth, happiness and a myriad of unmanifested wishes. Resistance is resistance. To me, this was a huge revelation. The quality and vibration of resistance is not conducive to creating our Good regardless of the form it takes. It can be any of the derivatives of fear in their subtle forms; not the fight or flight fear that is for our survival, but qualities that are invisible to us until we root them out.

This type of resistance might be doubt in our abilities, lack of confidence, unworthiness, procrastination, fear of being criticized or a lack of Self Love, to name a few of the popular ones.

I invite you to look at any resistance you may have to creating, allowing and receiving your good. The best way to release resistance is to notice it, put it in the light of love and turn toward what you want to create. Use anything that you have noticed is a bridge of love-light for you. Meditation, music, exercise, or driving in the countryside can put you back in the receiving mode. A funny paradox is your power is not resisting resistance but transforming it into love. Create. Have fun. Sing. Dance. All of these activities release resistance.

There you have it. You will be in the vibration that creates worlds, which is really fun. This is a time when we are being asked to love ourselves in the highest and best way we know how and then increase that little by little every day.

I thank you. What blesses one, blesses all.

The Amazing Healing Properties of Flowers

The amazing healing properties of flowers

As in the title of this blog, many years ago Sananda told me the earth would be healed by Grandmothers, Flowers and Children, including your child within, who is innocent. Working with him over the years I learned the importance of innocence, our true Divine Nature, the inclusiveness of his teachings and the power of flowers. It’s very easy to understand the healing power of Grandmothers with their wisdom and love for their grandchildren. Today we will speak of the healing power of Flowers.

As shared in a previous article here, Dr. Edward Bach, M.D., was a pioneer in discovering flowers’ essences could help his patients. He stated, “quite simply, flowers heal.” Today, his five-flower remedy, Rescue Remedy, is widely available and used all over the world.

You can easily learn how to make your own flower essences. They are fun to make and easy to use. The video linked here teaches you the basics.

Sananda also taught me that Flowers are some of the strongest beings on earth. Such a paradox seeing how fragile and beautiful they are with almost intoxicating fragrances. He has also taught me that Nova Earth is filled with paradoxes as we move into understanding wholeness and inclusiveness; a shift from duality. He often tells me, “Look toward what you want to create; focus there.”

I would like to help create heaven on Earth, and in my world that means a return to Eden: GARDENS.

Flowers and herbs are the most helpful remedies I have found in the physical world, as they are bridges to heaven or the spiritual world. In an herbal class I took, the instructor had been taught by a shaman who had learned the essences of the herbs with his eyes covered with a cloth. He felt they were holy and that he needed to feel and be spiritually guided as to their purpose.

Flowers can uplift your spirits and just make you feel good, which is a big leap towards wellness. A bouquet by your bedside, or aromatherapy with an essential oil or a flower essence are all helpful to your whole self. Other comforting ways to “feel good,” which we have learned from Abraham and the Hicks’ teachings as being the most important way for us to attract our good, might be walking through a garden.

There are so many ways to enjoy Flowers. They can be dried, preserved with sugar and egg whites and eaten or used to brighten your salad or garnish your favorite dish. I highly recommend watching Chef’s Table “Jeong Kwan,” from season three. Netflix says of the episode: “In South Korea, Buddhist nun, Jeong Kwan, approaches cooking as a spiritual practice. Her meals, including her Lotus Flower tea, have left some of the world’s best chefs in awe.” Watching her make the Lotus Flower tea is a treat and such a great example of enjoying all the sublime attributes of flowers.

When you make your flower essence, make sure you have identified the flower correctly. Some of the most beautiful flowers are poisonous. Also make sure they are organic. Don’t collect or forage from roadsides. I learned this the hard way when I had my sister and her husband for dinner. I was excited to make them one of my favorite rice dishes that contained a large amount of dill weed. I saw large bunches along the roadside and was so excited to collect them. When it was time to serve the rice it had a dark green color and smelled of licorice. It turned out I had collected anise, which looks very much like dill! So, off we went to Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour for dinner.

Water Walking Words 6

WATER, WALKING and WORDS, Part 6

Water Walking and Words, , , , , , , , , ,

Florence Scovel Shinn in her wonderfully powerful book, “The Game of Life and How to Play It,” teaches us that our word is our wand.

Dr. Zhi Gang Sha in his book, “Divine Soul Songs: Sacred Practical Treasures to Heal, Rejuvenate, and Transform You, Humanity, Mother Earth, and All Universes,” demonstrates how chanting “lu la lu la li,” meaning “Love, Peace and Harmony,” can change your life for the better.

I had the pleasure of meeting him many years ago in a workshop he was presenting. I felt and knew then, he was a genuine, real master spiritual teacher. He has many books and International Organizations teaching these simple practices of Words. Positive Words. Singing Love, Peace, Harmony. He has recorded many testimonials in his books of all manner of healings, by doing the simple practices of positive, loving Words.

Why are Words so powerful?

The Bible teaches us:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)

He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. (Psalm 107:20)

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.(Isaiah 55:11).

Our Words are very powerful because we are Divine Children. We are Creators. We are Love, and Love is the most powerful force in the universe. Affirmations and chanting positive Words align us with our Divine Source our powerful thoughts, and keep out fear, doubt and negativity that we don’t want in our Reality. Aren’t you most happy when you are creating? Singing, dancing, writing, gardening and being the Love that you are creates worlds.

When I am in a negative space, anger or doubt, disappointment or hurt feelings, I know I don’t want to stay there. I choose, as quickly as I can, positive “I am” statements. “I am Love. I am Peace. I am as God created me: perfect, whole and complete.” After a time, I can feel the inner Peace that allows the good ideas from the Divine to flow in. Solutions to the problems causing the upset arise. Rest from the worry allows the healing light to come in.  Little by little I see my part in the conflict and can forgive and move on. It really is that simple, though sometimes we are caught up in our “rightness,” which makes it seem not easy. Even one thought in the right direction can bring us to our peace, because peace is always available to us. Esther and Jerry Hicks, in their many books on the teachings of Abraham, tell us it only takes 17 seconds of positive thinking to redirect yourself into the positive flow of wellbeing.

Since we have been created out of Love, and we are still Love, let’s Love ourselves, our friends, our enemies and our Creator. What a concept. Let’s see what will happen when we do.

Mother Nature Demonstrates Spiritual Prosperity Every Moment.

As we learned in the previous blog, the first law of the Unified Field is “Total Potential of Natural Law.”

These Laws are functioning 24/7 without us doing anything. What we do have an effect on in our lives is our creative abilities. When we work with the Unified Field we have the opportunity to experience miracles on a daily basis. We create with our Divine attributes of Life, Truth and Love with knowing we are one with the Divine and Mother Earth.

We create Spiritual Prosperity through our understanding that we are not separate from our Creator, Mother Earth and the Universe of Good. Esther and Jerry Hicks in their many books and workshops on the Law of Attraction teach us how important our feelings are because like attracts like. Remember in the Unified Field, the wave (thought) becomes a particle (material) when we put our attention on it.

We have the ability to create with our thoughts, feelings and understanding that we are an integral part of the whole of Nature and the Universe of Good. We can easily move toward our Good by knowing ourselves as Good and innocent and asking our selves: “Does what I want to create have Life? Does it contain Love? Is it Tue for me?” Often we try to create from past desires, just out of habit, that hold no interest for us in Our now.

I asked these questions of myself to discover what I could add to the body of Spiritual Prosperity understanding, that included my Love of Nature, and I came up with an Elemental Prosperity meditation.

I invite you to sit quietly in Mother Nature. If not available to you right now, look out your window at the sky. First, breathe deeply and notice that the one element that you cannot live without is air. Thank the element of air and the sylphs for doing such a good job of keeping our air fresh. Notice within yourself that there is plenty of air.

Next is, of course, Water. Thank the Water and notice you have plenty of fresh life-giving, clean Water. Thank the sprites and ondines for taking care of circulating the currents of Water and helping it meander or rush into just the right places.

Next thank the Sun. The fire salamanders.  Keeping the fire element for growth, warmth and purification. There is plenty of Sunshine.

Fourth is our dear Gaia, Mother Earth. Where-ever we stand on the Earth is holy ground.  Our Mother Earth. Our home. Thank the gnomes and all of the many and varied Earth Elementals for keeping our Earth safe in the onslaught of humanity’s unconsciousness, which is quickly changing now to caring for our Earth who gives us plenty. Plenty of food, shelter, air, fire and Water. Thank you.

You have just done an Elemental Prosperity meditation and a Rampage of Appreciation, which Abraham (in the Hicks’ Law of Attraction book Manifest Your Desires – 365 Ways To Make Your Dreams A Reality) teaches us is the number one way to attract our Good. When we remove our resistance to our Good (any thought or vibration our creator wouldn’t have– refer to the Unified Field), when we Ask, it is Given. You do need to Allow it.

Breathe deeply in thanks. Swim or shower in thanks, make some hot tea in thanks. Stand on the Earth in thanks, and you will be well on your way to creating the Prosperity you Love. Thank you. You have helped bring heaven to Earth.

There is a super wonderful book, “Sharing Nature with Children,” by Joseph Cornell, one of my top-15 books of all time. It has many fun games and exercises to do with children and your child within. One that I love is lying under a tree and looking up, which I did with the photo above. You receive such a different and expanded perspective. Also, when you are laying there, notice if there are any birds. If not, very soon there will be. It’s a magical experiment to do. It makes me happy every time. Within moments of you being there, the birds will come to join you.

Thank you for Allowing the Abundance, Joy, Love and Creativity that are here for you. We are all creating heaven on Earth. Yay, yay, yay!

Mother Nature demonstrates Spiritual Prosperity every moment.

Spiritual Prosperity Nova Earth

Prosperity for All is the Cornerstone of Nova Earth, Part 2

Spiritual Prosperity, , , , , , ,

Last week we spoke of the Law of Attraction and keeping our thoughts and feelings in qualities that attract our good and Prosperity. It’s also very important to know when we are in a state of resistance to our good so we don’t hold our riches, peace, loving relationships and money at bay. “Resistance is thoughts that are different enough in vibrational nature to hinder your natural connection with your Source.” (Ask and it is Given, E. & J. Hicks)

Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer (Creating Money) also teach us the qualities that are resistant to our good and repel Prosperity. These qualities are:  Greed, Vague Goals, Self-doubt, Belief that there is not enough, Regret about past mistakes, Spending out of obligation, Feeling the world owes you, fear, Worry and tension over finances, Feeling unfocused, Doing what others say to do with money, and Feeling guilty over spending.

The good news is you can change these thoughts and qualities the moment you notice them. One of the processes Abraham teaches us is “pivoting.” When you notice a resistant thought, pivot. Turn directly away from a repelling quality and toward a positive thought. Sananda teaches us also to turn toward what you want to create.

We have the power to create our good in every moment because Love, our good, is everywhere present. Jump off the list of resistant and repelling qualities and onto the list of attracting qualities, and you will see miracles abounding in your life.

I learned so much in the year-long course I taught on Spiritual Prosperity, and I continue to learn the importance and power of releasing resistance to my good. I noticed that my students who did the assigned homework each week made great progress and the ones who didn’t do their homework stayed in the same place. It was a great realization to me that not doing the homework was the very same resistance that caused the lack of good in the first place. So, jump over to the sunny side of the street and reap all of the benefits and your good.

Spiritual Prosperity

Prosperity for All is the Cornerstone of Nova Earth

Spiritual Prosperity, , , , , , , ,

Spiritual Prosperity is our Divine Heritage.

Take away a belief in scarcity held by many on Earth, and take away the fear of “not enough” money, love, food, homes, etc., and you will have a very good starting point for creating great Prosperity.

Spiritual Prosperity includes health, financial freedom, right work, higher purpose, peace and the joy of living. Moment by moment you have the ability to create this for yourself.

I had the joy of being one of the assistants to Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer (Creating Money) at their Creating Money Workshop. One hundred participants sat expectantly waiting for the information and processes to be given as it was discovered that almost all of the participants were healers or teachers in various spiritual or alternative traditions. Money was elusive to us. The workshop did not disappoint. The principles learned are simple and easy to practice. It does require practice, as your thoughts, words, feelings and beliefs about money are creating your reality of it.

To start: Change the belief that money isn’t spiritual, and rescind any vows of poverty you have taken.

Next, learn the qualities that attract money ( from Creating Money). Qualities include your thoughts and feelings. Attracting qualities are: Gratitude and thanks, Clarity of intent, Higher Purpose, Self-love, Joy, Enthusiasm, Delight as Motivation, openness to receive, Connection to spirit, faith trust persistence, Directed Will, Releasing fears, Focus and commitment, following inner guidance and positive affirmations and beliefs about money.

The good thing is you don’t have to be or master all of these qualities, but you do need to be in at least one or two most of the time. They are the antidote to the mass consciousness belief in scarcity and have the power to attract your good and Money.

Esther and Jerry Hicks have written many books on these laws of attraction, and the ones I choose often are appreciation, gratitude and thanks. They speak of having a rampage of appreciation (Ask and it is Given). The first time I read “have a rampage of appreciation,” I laughed, as the word rampage usually meant something negative or angry. I enjoyed the paradox that you can have a very positive rampage of appreciation, thanks and gratitude.

This always makes me happy and uplifted. In this state I receive ideas that lead to all kinds of good.

For years I worked cleaning a real estate office. On every desk there was a small upright sign that said “Attitude is Everything.” I would lean over to empty each waste basket, and as I was standing up I would see the sign over and over again. That was the highest-producing office in the area and a reminder for me to stay in gratitude. The wonderful part of using these principles is the realization that you can change your life for the better any time and any place by simply changing your beliefs and qualities of thought and feeling.
