Changing your thought processes is not an impossible process. It starts with one step: what is it that is not the highest reflection of me? Is it:
The list could go on and on. The one thing that all these things have in common is: they can be changed, or perhaps a better term would be 'healed'. Can it be changed overnight? Perhaps, but not likely. However, the most important key to success is: recognizing that there is something about yourself you desire to change, it is admitting that you are better and greater than these thoughts/behaviors, and that they do not accurately reflect who you truly are! (By the way, if you do think they accurately reflect you then: you are wrong. We know better!) Okay, so you admit to yourself that there are things about yourself that could be improved, and let's be fair here: choose just one. If it is that you complain to much, or swear too much (and only you can decide which one you feel needs priority healing over any other issues), then let us begin with that one issue. The challenge is to not do that (complaining or swearing) for two to four weeks. This is not a new idea and is currently underway in your world already, but we seek to have you expand this and use it to your advantage. To begin with this will be a challenge and you will try hard to beat it, to win, to reach that 2 or 4 week margin (whichever one you decided on), and you may struggle to get past day one. Don't give up. Keep trying and trying and trying, even if you spend two months on day one! Established patterns cannot be changed overnight, but the process of accepting into yourself that these are patterns you no longer choose for yourself is a huge step, for soon that will trickle through to the deepest part of your thought processes and then the switch will be flicked. You will cease trying and simply do. Does the switch flick that easily? Yes. All the forwork, all the 'failures' are simply a part of the process of making a change. If it was as easy as changing overnight, then it would not have been a big problem in the first place, but when these are bigger issues for you, then it takes time, and those failures are the opportunities to tell yourself: "I am not this thing, I am not the swearing/complaining, it does not reflect who I am and I reaffirm this to myself, and I will try again." Each time you are given this opportunity to reaffirm, you make the resolve stronger, you make the change more permanent. These are not failures, they are steps towards success! When that switch is flicked you are easily able to achieve the goal. If, however, you err, and complain/swear, go back to day one and start again without any resentment of sorrow. It does not matter if this process takes a month or a year. This is a personal challenge that you undertake willingly and lovingly. When you have succeeded in this you will, from then on, always be aware of what you say and do, but the complaining/swearing will no longer be an automatic part of your behavior. Now that you have conquered that, move on to another issue you find you could improve/heal. Don't make it something you will have trouble keeping with. If you work full time but you want your challenge to be 'cook healthier meals', first think about how much time you have to devote to meal preparation. It may be that to start with you choose a challenge of 'add a salad to the nightly meal', so that there is something raw and healthy on the table. You may experiment with different dressings and ingredients in the salad. Becoming aware of salads and their ingredients is the first step of becoming aware of healthier meals and paying more attention to what you put into your body. A journey is made of small steps. You do not need to make giant leaps! One success teaches you that you can achieve these goals. One success is all it takes.
As the energy of the world changes, you may be called into new areas, to enhance your awareness of who you are and what you are capable of. You may find yourself drawn to study, so that you may develop more confidence in yourself as well as gain new knowledge. You may find yourself drawn to spend more time sitting quietly and introspectively, so that you may understand your own energy, and understand the flow of that energy. When you understand your energy and your flow it is easier to understand what affects that energy. You may find yourself drawn to adopting a pet, though this is only even to be done with the full commitment to care of the pet for the duration of its life. It is a serious thing indeed to care for another being. The adoption may be to encourage you to release and share the love you have held so tightly within, as well as bringing more joy into your days. You may find yourself paying more attention to your immediate surroundings, and enjoying creating a tidier more organized space in which to thrive. You may find yourself paying more attention to what you eat, so that you can have a healthier body, and a healthier future. It is difficult to achieve progress and chase goals when you run out of energy or begin to feel unwell. To keep pace, it is wise to nurture your body. You may find yourself reading more, drawn to books that inspire and uplift, so that you can raise your energy level and keep it high. You may find yourself drawn to positive people. Positive people help you to be positive, help you to see the good in life and in people. What you focus on you attract, so if you focus on positive you attract positive. The world is changing. Learn to pay attention so that the guidance you are being given does not slip by you unnoticed. Your Guidance are doing all they can, but you need to listen to them, to be aware so that you do not miss their messages. This is the time to consider a new way of living, a new way of being. It is a journey of discovery, a path hitherto unknown. So ask for guidance and assistance, and it shall be granted. Whenever the energy of the world changes there are people who fear, who panic, but this is not a time for fear and chaos, this is a time of exciting self discovery!
This may indeed seem a very strange topic for us to touch on, but we believe it is important we talk about this. First we will begin by asking you a question: can an economy go up and up and up and never drop? We know you want to say 'yes', but we also know that you understand that an economy cannot continuously climb. Why not? An economy is like a living energy, it flows, it moves, it rises and descends. However, every time the economy descends there are great cries of doom and gloom and financial ruin. And so, every time the economy drops, you panic! If an economy drop could cause you financial ruin, we would ask why you are sailing so close to the wind with your finances? Why are you risking it all? Your financial situation should not be drastically affected by an economy descent to the point where you lose it all. And yet, so many people do just that, invest too much, borrow too much, and then when the economy drops they lose everything. If they had been more conservative they might have still been okay. Their risk was caused by greed. We are not giving you financial advice here, because we really don't care about money at all! It is your obsession with money that lands you in trouble. It is your belief that you must have this that and the other that causes you to over extend yourself financially. You survive an economic downturn by never putting yourself into a situation of complete financial risk in the first place. It's as simple as that. What is it that you truly need in life: a place to live, food to eat, clothes to wear, income to pay the bills. Do you really need the latest cell phone, that flashest television, the biggest house, the latest car, the dearest clothes, the fine food and wine? Reality: no, you don't. You don't have to drink alcohol every day, you don't need a beer when you get home or a glass of wine with dinner. But society has persuaded you that you do. Work out how much you spend on these things in a year and you will be surprised. You could grow your own fruit and vegetables. Not only would this save you some money, but being outside in the garden is good for you. Spending time with your hands in the dirt is a simple and humbling experience. Getting back in touch with the way your grandparents lived is not a bad thing it is a very good thing! The panic that an economic downturn causes is a mental issue. You allow people to persuade you that the world is all doom and gloom and that there will be massive unemployment and crime rates will go up etc. Why must that happen? If too many people focus on those things they will indeed happen, but you will be partly responsible for bringing it to yourselves. Do not worry about what other people say. You can only control yourself. If you have been sensible you should hopefully be able to withstand an a descent in the economy without losing everything. If you do lose things, well, maybe this is an opportunity to learn how to achieve what you desire patiently and not try to risk it all to have it now. Sometimes the slower approach is not only the safest, but the best. There is, in truth, plenty of food in the world, plenty of housing, plenty of water, plenty of love, plenty of joy. But, it is what you focus on that you will continue to create for yourself. You can dig a vegetable garden, you can plant a fruit tree. You can simplify your life. You can save quite a bit each week by forgoing your expensive coffees. You can cook meals at home and not eat out so often. You can reduce (or even give up) your alcohol intake. You can give up the luxuries in your life that you do not need. Every little thing that you can do will have a benefit. The greatest change you can make, to help yourself, is your attitude. Life is what it is because of what you focus on and what you 'put out there'. If you choose to be peaceful, to find joy in the smallest of things, to be helpful to other people, you will change your life. You will attract that peace, that joy, and the pleasure of helping other people and of receiving help. Economies move and shift. The only fear is that which is created by humanity. Why choose fear? Fear is because of a belief in lack. There is no lack. There is only abundance. What you bring into your life is your own choice. Your choice to feel fear at the descent of the economy is just that: a choice. Don't buy in to the fear of other people. The world will still be here tomorrow. The sun will still rise. The water will still flow. Children will still laugh. We are not asking anyone to bury their head in the sand, we are not encouraging anyone to be naive we are simply saying: choose your attitude. Tighten your belt (as they say), simplify your life, and choose your attitude. It is truly as simple as that. So many of you commit to this spiritual path of enlightenment, of seeking greater wisdom and understanding. You work hard, you grow, you achieve a great deal, both personally and for the world. Then you have a difficult time, and you struggle, and you don't have the energy to help the world, to do global healings or healings on humanity. You feel guilty because you are not doing this, you feel as if you are failing. Please don't feel that way. When you are struggling, and yet you feel you were making such great progress, it may be because you are in a spiritual transition. If this is the case, they you have no choice but to ride it out. However, may we give you some guidance:
Your focus needs to be on helping yourself, not on helping the world, at least at such times as these. It is better that you focus your energies on yourself, so that you are able to achieve the next level, and then be in a far better position to help humanity and the world. If you try to help the world when you are in chaos, then your help will not be very great. Once you have allowed yourself to walk the path of your transition, and achieved that growth, then you will be of great benefit. Do not feel that focusing on yourself is selfish, for the more of you that lovingly walk through these transitions of growth and of levels, the more of you will be in a fabulous position to assist the world towards a greater ascension process! Transitions can be painful, they can leave you feeling scattered, shattered, confused and alone. Those feelings are simply a part of the journey. Be gentle with yourself. Nurture yourself. Ask your Guidance for help, and ask them to envelope you in their love as you work through this process. And then, pay attention, to what rises within you. You may find resentments, angers, irritabilities, came forth in waves. Recognize them only as an opportunity for release. Let them go. Do not examine them, or hold on to them, simply release them. You no longer need them. Each time you get irritable, simply choose to be patient -- no matter how hard you find that. Be patient, allow it to pass. Sometimes the level you are moving towards demands that you leave some of your 'baggage' behind. You cannot rise to that level while weighted down by your own issues. You need to release them, and heal yourself of them, so that you can step to that next level. There is no rush to achieve this. There are many levels. You do not have to deal with all of your issues on the very first step, or even on then next ten steps. The 'dealing with your issues' is a process, one step at at time, and it will always be done at a speed and in a manner that you can handle. For the truth is that you are the one choosing the journey and choosing to deal with these things. It is your Soul's call to go higher, to achieve more. You don't have to if you choose not to. And if you want to stop and pause a while, that is perfectly fine. You do not have to achieve full enlightenment in this lifetime. Your goal may have been to simply make some of the steps involved. You can pause any time you want to. You can stop any time you want to. It's your call. Some people even choose to take a 'breather' before they tackle the next big hurdle. Pay attention to the call of your Soul. Pay attention to your Guidance. Always act from a position of love in all that you do. And pause any time you feel the need to.
with the greatest of love Obesity has become a problem. But, the cause of the problem has not been addressed, and this is mostly because many people will not believe the answer. People often over eat because they are searching for something. They hunger for something. They yearn for something. And so they eat ... and they eat ... and they eat ... and the do not find that which they yearn for. They will not find what they yearn for, because it is not a material thing, it is: soul connection. People seek to reconnect with the Soul part of themselves, not that the body and Soul are separate, for they are the same material, one densified into physical being and the other not. How can we possibly say that you eat because you yearn to touch your Soul, to find your Self? How can we make such a rash claim? It is not rash. It is the truth. You seek to reconnect with, to find who you are. Why is obesity more common these days than say ten and twenty years ago? Because more and more people are awakening, and what this has caused is a wave of realization. As part of humanity wakes up, the rest of humanity becomes aware that something is missing in their life, something vital. Those who have awakened and those who are awakening as we speak, are lifting all of humanity, all of the life forms upon the Earth, and they Earth herself -- for it is all inextricably connected and intertwined -- to a higher vibration, a higher level of living. This means that many people are left feeling confused, as they do not understand what is going on. People over eat because they think their hunger is a physical hunger, they believe that their craving can be satisfied with food. And they are left feeling continuously dissatisfied. What you need is to touch your Soul, and in so doing you will satisfy your hunger. Soul satisfaction is what you yearn for, and many of you know that in the midst of a meditation, or a moment of contemplation, satisfaction can be found, and yearning melts away. It would, of course, help, if you did not devote so much energy to taste bud delights! A chocolate bar can be enjoyed once a week, as a treat, it does not have to be something you eat every day. When you find you satisfaction, you will not even want the chocolate bar. Open your mind to the possibility, to the reality, that the physical world is not all that there is. There are two sides to every coin; there is the material and the immaterial, just as there is the light and the dark, the sweet and the sour, the up and the down. There is another side to your existence, and it is there that you will find understanding, not just of the world, but of yourself. To know yourself, you must know all of yourself. Embrace that you are Soul. Embrace that you are love. Embrace that you are Light. Embrace, that you are a work in progress, an evolving BEing. When you come closer to knowing your Self, you will begin to understand the patterns of self destruction, the patterns of poor health, the patterns of resentment, and you will be able to take a step towards changing these patterns into something more beneficial to you. We are not saying it will be easy, but it is achievable, one step at a time. To heal, one must first understand oneself. With understanding comes healing, comes wisdom. What you seek is not the satisfaction from a wedge of chocolate cake, what you seek is the satisfaction of your Soul's reintegration into your daily existence. Obesity, will never be addressed, until you have embraced your spiritual reality, and allowed yourself to love who you are, for you are -- as are we all -- a glorious, glorious being of Light. We are bothers and sisters with you, no greater and no lesser. We are simply beyond where you currently are, just as one day we hope that you will be where we currently are, looking back and wondering how you could ever have felt so lost and alone.
With love It is time to pay attention to your thoughts, and to your responses to other people. How often do you catch yourself thinking thoughts of resentment or anger towards another person? How often do you dwell and obsess about ‘negative’ things that have happened? How often do you thoughts go round and round about similar things? How often do you attract more of the same, so that those thoughts can continue to go round and round and round? This is where the change needs to be made. Stop the negative thoughts. Each time you catch them starting to go round, replace then with something positive, something about the kind of future you would like to have. If, for example, someone ignored you when you spoke to them, instead of letting the resentment start to go round and round in your mind, simply acknowledge ‘oh…they didn’t listen to me…ah well….I envisage a future for me where people do listen, a future where I am happy and feel fulfilled.’ You see the difference there? The old pattern will drag you down and keep you in the mud, so to speak, but the other, envisaging the future, feels much more positive and filled with hope and excitement. This tactic can be used every time you catch yourself thinking negatively. It is a universal truth that what you focus on you draw to you. You may focus on love and patience and expect that from your partner, but it may come from friends and family and not your partner. It may be that the reason they continue to push your buttons is so that you can continue to learn, to recognize your buttons and to resolve them. Learn what you can, and you may find that once you stop resenting your partner’s behavior, it stops arising as much as it used to. With regard to your responses to other people, this is an interesting thing for you to watch. Observe how you respond when people criticize something that is important to you. Observe how you respond when you yourself feel criticized. Observe how the people you are with interact with you. Observe your physical, mental, and emotional responses to them. When you feel those old buttons being pushed, pause, take a mental and emotional step backwards, and think for a moment. That is all it takes to break the cycle. Think carefully about the best response and then speak, calmly and clearly, words of wisdom. Often other people are not used to you standing up for yourself or for what you believe in. They will, at first, be surprised that they did not get to walk all over your beliefs as they used to. In the past when someone has condemned you or your beliefs, or something you care about, you may have felt the anger immediately rise, your resentment may have kicked in, and your mind may have started getting into ‘verbal attack mode’, whilst perhaps you also felt a light sweat break out over your body because there was a part of you that was afraid to stand up for yourself. Maybe you got into an argument, maybe it got all nasty, and maybe you walked away feeling ‘crushed’ and ‘valueless’. How about we replace that with, you speaking quietly and calmly to the person, putting across your views, or simply saying that you acknowledge that not everyone else shares your beliefs, but they are yours to hold, and you embrace them, and that you fully support and encourage that person in whatever beliefs they hold. Smile. Walk away. The way you have spoken has been gentle, and it has not inflamed their desire for a good argument, and you have acknowledged their own beliefs—whatever they may be—and because you spoke so calmly and confidently, you have left no room for debate. You expressed yourself clearly. This often ends an argument, because an argument cannot progress if inflamed passions are not fully involved. Now, take a look at the two responses in those paragraphs. Does not the second leave you feeling lighter, more in control, more in the embrace of your own power? This is all as simple as flicking a switch and then paying attention. You may find yourself slipping back into old reactive patterns, but the more you become aware that that is what you are doing, the more you will be reminded to choose the new way, the peaceful gentle way. The result will be: more peace and gentleness for all involved, and the full embracing of your own power. Do you think it is worth trying? We do!
