A pal and I were talking about a decades-long mutual friend. They know them to be serious and somber. I know them to be a kooky goofball. We each bring out different facets of the people we encounter. It’s kinda cool we can control that by how we are with them, huh?

I pulled out a prototype self hypnosis cd I made in 2007 giving the mechanics of releasing endorphins into the bloodstream. A few minutes into the suggestions, the cd skipped. I smiled. It skipped again. And again. I began giggling.  So it worked! Even though I didn’t get to hear the whole cd, endorphins got released.   I’m always making hypno cds for myself  for whenever I want to reprogram a thought quickly.  This one, though, is purely for pleasure.

“Just as you’ve focused yourself into a place of sadness over loss, you can focus yourself into a better feeling place.”  Abraham-Hicks.   I know if I continue to focus on loss and grief, I will amplify my feeling of loss and grief. If I turn my attention to some silly something that gives me a few moment’s relief, that helps me step up the emotional spiral so I can attract even better feeling thoughts, and then more of them, and then more of them.  Before I know it, I connect back to who I really am and realize there is no loss and, with that understanding, there is no grief.  If I focused myself into it, I can focus myself out of it.

I seem to have lost my patience with perpetual complainers. Yes, I know the government is imperfect. Yes, I know there are selfish people conspiring. Yes, I know that many people lack integrity. Yes, I know that western culture is materialistic and superficial. Yes, I know that the opposite sex has disappointed you. Yes, I know you question the existence of God. But what is your REAL complaint? What are you really trying to express about the lack of love, attention, attunement, satisfaction in your life? What lives below your projections onto the ‘system’ as the cause of all your challenges? What created your glass half-empty perspective? And, perhaps most importantly, what are you going to do to convert all that negative energy into positive action? When are you going to stop hiding behind your victimhood? What are you going to do to accept realities you can’t control and find your beautiful smile? And how can I help you to believe again? Jeff Brown

From this moment on, no matter what has happened in the past between us or to us, individually or together, I seek harmony and well-being.

From this moment on, every word I say and every action I take will be motivated by love and will reflect to my partner that I seek harmony in my life.

From this moment on, I will not speak or act before first asking myself if what I am about to say or do will bring harmony or cause conflict. Continue reading →

“Sometimes love finds you when it’s ready and when you’re ready too. How that happens is anybody’s guess. Love is the great mystery stew, its secrets well kept, its ingredients known to providence alone. While both people are being prepared, marinated, skewered, cooked to readiness in the fires of life, the cosmic alchemist is turning the pot, reverently preparing the base for the lovers who will meld into it. Only God knows when the stew is ready to be served. Divine timing.” Jeff Brown
Andrea says in the meantime, fall in love with everything around you, everyone around you, don’t make the mistake of waiting for just one person who will love you back. That you love is what matters. That you love.
