Call it ghost busting, call it exorcism, isn’t it all simply thought form deactivation? The question is — these “entities” — are they simply thought forms we keep reactivating by our attention to them? Or do they have an existence independent of having attention placed on them? Does anything? Do we?  So when the medium clears the space, are they actually “banishing a spirit” or are they simply raising the vibration of the residents so that they no longer sense the spirit? Doesn’t everything exist on its own little parallel plane, and depending upon our vibrational resonance in the moment we either tune into it or not just like radio stations?  Consider that even one little distant thought might be enough fuel to something keep alive and active . It’s truer than most know that our thoughts live on. They impact our future experience. The moment I really KNEW that, how I thought changed on the spot.  It taught me to ponder on whatever I want to keep alive. It taught me to give no attention to whatever I’m ready to let pass.

Last week I had a carpal tunnel flare up on both wrists at the same time. One morning sitting on the floor to meditate, I realized without using my hands and using only one leg trying to get up, I was like a turtle on its back. I made myself laugh out loud. Necessity is the mother of invention. I rolled up on the other knee as graceful as a drunken wombat and was good to go. This evening was the first night in about 2 weeks that I did any kind of working out. I’ve been trying to do things that don’t have me moving my right leg at all. Tonight I did some barre stretches and hand weights. I do yoga everyday but it has been really limiting to stay off the right leg. I would have thought after basically lying around for over a week and doing very little physical activity that I would be well rested, yet after exercising just under an hour I have more energy than I’ve had all week. I miss it when I am not moving my entire body. At this point the leg feels fine, just a little stiff. I’ll be glad when I can sit cross legged again. It never occurred to me I might not be able to do that my whole life.

10-6-15 UPDATE: I can sit cross legged again!  Not a half lotus yet but… small steps!

We drove to the ocean and just off stair access No. 13 was something I couldn’t identify in the ocean, a couple of hundred yards out. It was sticking straight up in the air and looks like the top ten feet of a golden colored mast with a short spar/yard near the top. It’s not bobbing like a bouy and it’s fairly close in what I’d guess is maybe 25-30 feet of water.

How do you practice “allowing?” You find a thought that feels good and practice it until it becomes your proclivity. There is nothing more important than that you feel good, because when you feel good, you’ve got control of your vibration. And when you’ve got control of your vibration, you are the deliberate creator of your experience.

To attract the higher guidance, ask the higher question.
(1)  NOT “Should I put my father in a nursing home, or take care of him in my house?” Instead ask, “What do I need to know to decide on the best living arrangements for my father?” 
(2)  NOT “How might I encourage my mother-in-law to move out?” Instead “What do I need to know to get along better with my mother-in-law?”
(3)  NOT “How can I improve my work situation?”  Ask more specifically, “How can I improve the flow of work between Joe and me?”
(4)  NOT “What is behind Joe’s drinking problem?” Instead “What role do I play in Joe’s drinking problem?”
(5)  NOT “Why am I the only one doing all the work?” Instead “How can I foster a spirit of cooperation concerning the work?”
(6)  NOT “How can I make people listen when I’m talking?” Ask “What is going on when I try to communicate, but feel others aren’t listening?”
(7)  NOT “Help me understand why I always blow opportunities?”  Instead ask “Help me find a way to overcome my issues and have a happy, productive and loving life.”

What if tomorrow was the most fun, exciting day ever? What if some unexpected something happened and you met some unexpected someone that changed the entire course of your life? How fun might that be? Keep your eye open for it. Expect to be delighted. Sleep on that thought. What if the best possible thing happened tomorrow? What if?

Here’s a fun way to exercise your creative visualization. Found money is one way the Universe likes to surprise us when we’re in the flow. Look at the bills in the image. See them against the white background.
1.  Now see them on the floor in your closet.
2.  Now see them in the pocket of a coat.
3.  Now see them under the socks in your dresser.
4.  Now see them in that secret side pocket in your wallet, or in the glove compartment.
5.  See them on the floor of your garage.
6.  See them on the side of the roadway on your morning walk.
7.  See them on the floor at the grocery and on the ground at the gas station.

Keep an eye out for them. Give it a few days. Report back where it showed up. You can also do this with a lost object. Imagine seeing it in a few different settings, then begin searching then staying on lookout for it. Here are some links to the techniques I’ve written for creative visualization. Like everything else, it’s not magic, it just works if you work it.

Blocking someone is like living with blinders on. Don’t let them send you into hiding. Don’t give them the power to steal your joy.

This week several Facebook friends unknowingly friended a hacker. When I saw the mutual friends, I sent each a note to unfriend and report them as spam and change their password. Then, yesterday at a friend’s computer we checked to see if she’d friended the hacker. She and Dannia had. When I got home, I went to send Dannia a message letting her know, and I saw that she had blocked me. This same friend years ago cut off an entire group of friends, including me. But until the week before, I’d seen her comments on a mutual friend’s FB page. Apparently she didn’t like seeing my comments, so she blocked me. My first thought was, Now that’s creating your own reality! Then I felt a little honored and humbled that she gave me so much power. That wasn’t like her. Not the old her, anyway. I thought how synchronistic the Universe having me at the friend’s computer to see her name, otherwise I may never have known I was blocked.  If someone triggers me to negative emotion, I know there’s something going on in me that could use some reflection. Not everyone is ready to look into a mirror, and it’s none of my business if they ever do or not. It’s just a limited way to live.   Continue reading →

A galpal has been commiserating with me having a knee injury since she fractured her foot dropping a box as she was moving into her new house.  Since she was in a new city in a state clear across the country from “home,” she got to spent the first night there in the local emergency room. She asked me what the metaphysical meanings might be so I sent her some info.  I like to give info like this in writing so friends have it to refer to as they heal, like seed thoughts for contemplation. My experience is when I have an injury or ailment, there is always some aspect of personal growth I can use. The sooner I figure out what that is, the sooner my ailment will dissipate. I wrote her:    Continue reading →

The reason some friends have turned against you and away from you have nothing to do with you. They’ve been removed because they can’t go where you’re being taken next. They’ve already served their purpose in your life. Let them go and keep moving. The best is yet to be and you couldn’t get there if they were still in your life.
