The stream of thinking has enormous momentum that can easily drag you along with it. Every thought pretends that it matters so much. It wants to draw your attention in completely. Here is a new spiritual practice for you: don’t take your thoughts too seriously. Eckhart Tolle Extract from “Stillness Speaks” I remember this quite [...]

The Gift
Posted in Poetry on July 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Time wants to show you a different country. It’s the one that your life conceals, the one waiting outside when curtains are drawn, the one Grandmother hinted at in her crochet design, the one almost found over at the edge of the music, after the sermon. It’s the way life is, and you have it, [...]

Grab a cup of tea or coffee, sit down, relax and really read this. If you’ve never read the whole thing before, you are about to embark on the magic of one man’s experiences, passion and vision. Perhaps you will feel goosebumps from head to toe, as I did, reading it. Love, Bethie This is [...]
Forgiveness/Self-Forgiveness
Posted in EFT, Louise Hay, Spirituality on July 20, 2008 | 3 Comments »
These are affirmations written by Louise Hay. Anyone working with forgiveness/self-forgiveness and EFT, I think these would be wonderful to turn into an EFT script. They stand alone well as affirmations, if you believe them. If you don’t believe them, you can tap on that too, by saying how you don’t believe you are ready [...]
Isn’t it Wonderful

Isn’t it wonderful to consciously release the last remaining blocks to letting in my good?! Isn’t it wonderful to then envision myself already living my newest, latest and greatest version of myself?! Isn’t it wonderful to really feel into that, breath by breath, thought by thought, image by image, smile by smile?! Isn’t it wonderful [...]

Seth on “The Ancient Dreamers (The Sleepwalkers)” (pt.1) Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment, Vol. 1, Session 893, January 07, 1980.

Smile at Your Habit Energy

Here again, out of Thich Nhat Hanh’s little book: Be Free Where You Are, we have his thoughts on habit energy. I’ve been using his suggestions below along with mindful breathing to move beyond old habits and patterns of thought. It is very simple to do, you can do it anywhere. Just smile at your [...]
The Art of Handling a Storm ~ Be Free Where You Are
Posted in Mindfulness, Spirituality, Thich Nhat Hanh on July 11, 2008 | 2 Comments »
The following excerpt comes from ‘Be Free Where You Are’. It’s a tiny little pocket size book, you could carry with you anywhere. Thich Nhat Hanh spoke at a Maryland Correctional Institute in 1999 on freedom, which really speaks to everyone and this is a passage from it: When a storm comes, it stays for [...]
Dispassionate Stance
Posted in Field Center, Mindfulness, Quantam Mechanics, Spirituality, What the Bleep on July 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Dispassionate – Pronunciation [dis-pash-uh-nit] free from or unaffected by passion; devoid of personal feeling or bias; impartial; calm. Impartial, calm and free! I never thought I could or would find value in lack of passion. Passion in the sense of being caught up and swirling in emotion. Never really realizing that every emotion I choose [...]
Letting Go

I used to carry the below passage around with me many years ago. I received it at a 12 step meeting; it’s author read as anonymous. Since then some circles have attributed Louise Hay as the author. It’s no accident that there is tremendous relief in the sweet surrender of letting go. So many times [...]
