THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Is Yours a Values-Driven Schedule?”

November 29, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

It is time. Time for you to get serious about what really matters to you in your life.  Are you being consistent?  Do you say, for example, that family is important to you but do you spend all your time working?  Do you say that your personal growth is important but sports are taking up so much time that you have no time left to work on yourself?  Do you think that taking care of yourself is selfish and so you focus on giving to others until you are totally depleted and have nothing left to give, to others or to yourself?

There are so many ways that your life can reflect choices that do not seem to be consistent with what you believe to be your highest values.  We would tell you that time is speeding up, in ways you probably wouldn’t understand yet, but that you don’t have time to ‘play dumb’ with the time that you have.  In any given day your needs must be met in a shorter period of time than you used to have to focus on yourself.  There are many demands on your time and the days actually do seem to be getting shorter, not just in daylight hours in the Northern Hemisphere!  So let us tell you why it is so important that you take time for yourself, every day.

The Universe and Mother Earth agreed that you were needed on Planet Earth at this very moment.  You agreed to incarnate, under the conditions you chose, to fulfill a mission on Earth during your lifetime.  You agreed with other beings that you would all be on Earth together and that you would assist each other in fulfilling those missions by being the person you agreed to be.

NOW is the moment.  TODAY is the day.  Do you feel that you are being the person you incarnated to be?

When you are focused on urgent and important activities you might allow yourself to get distracted from what really matters to your Inner Being.  Are you so busy that you are not being ‘you’?  Are you so distracted that you are feeling disconnected from your purpose?  These are the signals that you must take control of your choices on a daily basis and line up your energy with your values.

Have you ever examined your values?  Not just what you think you should write on a list that someone else might read, but we are talking here about your deep, essential core values, the ones that drive your life.  Your unconscious mind is operating based on a structure of values that might not match that list you would show to another.  It is a good thing to periodically examine the list that your unconscious mind adheres to.  It is also a good thing to think about what you would like your values to be and to examine your daily expenditures of time to see if they coincide.

Many people slide through their days taking care of urgent things but never getting to the items that feel important to them.  Are you one of these people?

And what value structure are you using to decide what is important?  Is it truly your own or have you adopted someone else’s list without questioning if this is in consonance with your own values?  This is easy to do, especially when you are in relationship with another person or people.  But it is essential that you pause and study how you are spending your time.  Are you giving an amount of time to what really matters that matches its value to you?

Think about these things as you go through your day today.  Who decided what is important for you today?  And how much time do you have for what is really important to you?  Take time for yourself, for apportioning your time according to your values is a sign that you are living a Conscious Life.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: It’s always about the energy! by Rosemary Bredeson

November 23, 2010 — Rosemary

People seem to be growing more sensitive to energies and noticing the energy of a group can really be a protective measure.  I’ve noticed that some groups seem to shift energies from comfortable to dynamic to uncomfortable [for me] and sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint what is happening. Groups of 3 people can have a dynamic based on who wields more power in that trio while huge groups of 200 can have an amorphous energy that feels benign in the large group but contains many subgroups that have their own dynamic.  Have you seen this in the groups in which you participate?

When you are sensitive to the energies around you, you might find yourself gravitating toward those people and groups whose energy patterns are compatible with yours.  You might also find yourself moving away from groups, even those you have been a part of for a long time, when the energy feels as if it has shifted and no longer supports you or your personal growth. This is happening for a lot of people with churches and organizations that, at one time, served them but no longer do so.

People grow.  At least, Conscious People grow.  For those who are pursuing a life of evolutionary consciousness, many groups complete their purpose in a person’s life and that person must make a choice about whether to continue to associate with the group or to move on.  This does not always have to be painful or difficult or done in anger or sadness. This is just the path of an evolutionary person.  Just as you do not stay in grade school for your whole life, some associations complete their usefulness for your personal growth and you ‘graduate’ from them. The graceful way to leave these groups is to bless them on their own way while accepting that your path parts from theirs on the journey.

Have you ever seen someone stay a part of a group only to criticize and complain about that group? Doesn’t that make you wonder why they stay a member?  And what about families that get together for a holiday celebration but the individuals can’t wait for the so-called ‘celebration’ to be over so they can go to be with their friends?  At times, a group or even a family no longer supports one on one’s journey.  It might take a lot of energy to move out of a familiar group or to decide to spend less time with a family that makes one feel uncomfortable.  One alternative to leaving is to see if the group is willing to shift its energy into a space that feels more comfortable to the person considering leaving.

This can be a tall order but it can have dramatic results.  In some cases, just pointing out that old patterns have jumped up again and that perhaps they don’t belong in the 21st Century gathering can cause people to reconsider their behaviors.  Sometimes you can simply ask to be treated differently.  I’ve seen this work with people who tease and joke to the point of causing emotional pain to another but, when requested, stop acting that way.  It might be helpful to think ahead to a gathering where you anticipate feeling uncomfortable and ask yourself how you wish it were different.  Energize that different picture of the gathering, and believe that you can ask others to participate in the new vision.

And even if others don’t want to change the situation, it might be that gaining a perspective on what is going on helps YOU to change how you feel about the situation. Understanding the energy of a group and how it depends on the energy that you bring to it can give you new insights into your participation in that group.  Decide that you can shift or they can shift or you can drift away.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “What is the energy of your group?”

November 22, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

When people gather together there is a new energetic created from the energies that each person brings with them.  Have you ever been in a group and felt one kind of energy and then moved to another group and felt another kind of energy?  This differential is created by the coming together of the individuals’ energies when the people interact.

Knowing that every group you interact with is creating an energy pattern by that interaction should stimulate your awareness of the energies that you participate in.  Examine how it feels when you are in the groups that you normally connect with.  How do YOU feel when in those groups?  Does it feel supportive? Calm? Energizing? Debilitating? Scary?  Sometimes one person can take control of the energy of a group and drag it into a direction over which the others have no control, and this doesn’t mean that that one person is necessarily the one who is doing all the talking.

Next time you are in a group, start to notice who is setting the energy pattern for the group and how does it feel for you.  Are you in a business meeting?  Notice who is setting the tone, the energy for the meeting.  Is it the speaker or is someone else in the room creating an energy?  What about a family gathering?  Next time your family is together, notice who sets the energy pattern for the family.  It might be the most silent of the members but everyone else is responding to their energy field.  Notice your social group the next time you are together.  What is the energy of this group, especially when they are relaxed?

Living a Conscious Life invites you to become aware of the energies around you at all times.  In examining the energies of groups, you must also look at your contribution to that group energy – are you participating?  What kind of energy are you putting into that group?  How are you feeling?  Are you holding back and letting others set the energy?  You are always at choice when it comes to the energies in a group.  You can put out the energy of the Light or you can hold all of your Light inside yourself.  You can join in with an energy that you might or might not resonate with or you can distance yourself from the group and the group’s energy.  In some cases, a group dynamic can shift with time and, while at one time you felt that you did resonate with the group energy, it has drifted away from an energy that you feel is compatible with yours.  This indicates that it is time for you to reconsider whether or not you wish to remain a part of that group.

Be proactive about examining the groups to which you belong.  Pay attention to the energies of the groups.  Many groups are shifting their energies at this time and you must stay conscious of the shifts if you are to get the most support from the groups of which you are a participant.  Family dynamics can change over time, too.  Be aware of the dynamics in your own family, or your extended or adopted families, and examine the energies as they exist in the present moment, not influenced by what has happened in the past.  Do you notice that people in the family seem to be holding onto patterns from the past without allowing themselves or others to grow beyond those old patterns?  Are people continuing to bring up events from the distant past so that those old energies become reignited in the present?  This can be a pattern in families, particularly those that don’t get together often and the holidays can often bring up old energies that have not been completely dealt with by the parties.

Make sure that you are living fully present to the moment.  Allow the past to be in the past.  Allow those events that have not yet taken place to exist outside the present moment and interact with others with the energies of the Now.  Pay attention to how you perceive the energies of any group that you find yourself in.  Ask yourself if this energy supports your personal growth, and if the answer is ‘no’ then remove yourself from the group, even if the group numbers only 2 people.  Protect your own energetic space.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: “Be the Change” by Rosemary Bredeson

November 16, 2010 — Rosemary

I wonder if the recent earthquakes and volcano eruptions are symbolic of the changes we can be expecting among human societies soon?  I, for one, hope to learn to grow and change without cataclysm!

But how many of us are really open to change?  Do we embrace it or do we run from it?

I believe that change is a good thing when it derives from expanded awareness, more intellectual examination of an idea, a consciousness that has evolved.  But the kind of change that follows a rush into fear or a determination to shut down a part of the self, especially if that part is the intellectual, thinking part, is a kind of change that does not advance humanity in its consciousness evolution.  When we are in a state of fear we have fewer resources with which to work than when we are in a more relaxed state of awareness.  And when we choose to stay in fear we give away our power to those who would take it from us.

This is the dynamic that bullies bank their efforts on.  Make us fearful and they can take what they want from us.  Big bullies on big playing stages can convince us to give up a great deal of our personal power if they can make us fearful enough.  The only way to counteract this energy is to stay in our own power, refuse to cower in fear, and retain a connection to our thinking self.

Have you ever seen someone in fear who seems to lose their intellectual abilities and be able only to focus on that which they fear?  I watched our dog, Tara, play with a mouse today and the mouse finally stayed cornered and shivering, essentially giving up in fear, when I blocked its path.  [Unfortunately, Tara was still in the corner the mouse had left, still trying to dig it out – hadn’t noticed the mouse was gone.  Obviously we need to get a cat!]  But the mouse probably could have gotten away if it hadn’t been intimidated by a small Lhasa Apso and a large human being.

We sometimes do the same thing that mouse did – stand in a corner, shivering and cowering in fear – when if we stepped up and figured out a solution we could get ourselves out of that corner.  This mouse scurried right by the dog who was continuing to dig for it in the other corner of the room.  Maybe all we need to do is to face our fears and then get in touch with our inner power to overcome those fears.

No one can take away your inner power unless you give it to them.  Remember that your strength does not derive from a gift from others.  Your strength resides in you and all you need to do is to remember that it is there.  When changes come, look inside yourself to see how you can best benefit from those changes.  Do not be in fear of change.  Use the energy of change to become more empowered.  You can change that which no longer serves you and strengthen your resolve in those areas that you do not wish to change.

You can decide what to do with change energy.  Decide to expand your awareness and advance the evolution of human consciousness.  Join the group or groups that support you in this.

As Gandhi said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Are you ready to grow?

November 15, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

The energy around the world is being stirred up by the tides of change.  People in all countries are feeling that change is coming, but, in most cases, there is no clear understanding of what that change will be.  A natural reaction to the uncertainty of change is to move into fear, but we would tell you to hold back, do not allow yourself to go into fear.

When the Planet Earth erupts in change energy there are many potential ways that that change can become manifest.  Let us talk first of the energy of groups and what changes are coming in them.

Groups have been formed among human beings since the first tribes banded together during early human history.  There is safety in the numbers when groups are formed.  There is also a kind of leadership that is created when a group faces a decision point.  Often that leadership role was chosen by a battle or competition between strong group members and the strongest, often physically, was the one who became the leader.

In later human history, groups were formed around intellectual pursuits and the smartest or wisest person became the leader of the group.  When survival was not the most important reason for joining together, people from other ‘tribes’ would join a group whose ideas were appealing, no matter what the background of the people in the group and no matter the diversity of its members.

Lately, we are seeing that people are joining groups, banding together, so that they may fight a perceived enemy.  Ideologies seem to be the reason for connecting with others, not a desire to join for survival or intellectual reasons, but because there is an emotional component to an ideology that unites the group members and they use this passion to aim their energies outward toward ‘the enemy.’  In these groups, the leaders percolate to the top on the strength of their voice, the loudest becoming the leader.

The energies in the changes that are coming on Earth will affect the groups that have been formed around ideologies because those ideologies will begin to collapse onto themselves.  People are getting smarter about Life.  Humanity is evolving in its consciousness and awareness.  No longer will the person who shouts the loudest be allowed to make decisions for those who are intellectually curious and thinking individuals.  You will start to see that people are ‘waking up’ to what it means to be fully human.

This is a good change for Planet Earth!  When people start to ‘wake up’ they look around and see what needs to shift to support their awakening.  They no longer accept that they must follow blindly those around them who are shouting loudly.  People begin to think for themselves and make decisions around what is best for them and their family and they also begin to consider the society around them.  Philanthropy, generosity of spirit, and giving to others follows the awakening of a society.  This will be happening first where people are spiritually connected to the Earth and to people around them.  Where individualism reigns these changes will be more difficult and slower, but the energy is also there to bring this change about.

Ask yourself if you are living a Conscious Life.  Are you attaching yourself to groups because of a blind loyalty to an ideology or are you looking for like-minded people who are also intellectually curious and thinking individuals?  Examine the groups of which you are a member – are you being served by the growth of the group or does it seem to be stagnating your personal growth?

More and more people will be dissociating from those groups that do not stimulate and support personal growth and seeking that stimulation and support elsewhere.  This is how the energies of change can manifest in your life and the lives of those around you.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Give Yourself the “All-Clear” Signal by Rosemary Bredeson

November 9, 2010 — Rosemary

It is so important to remember to breathe when we feel distressed!  And certainly being surrounded by stress, strife, discord, anger and hatred will make us feel distressed!

What do you do when you feel the atmosphere around you becoming charged with energy that doesn’t resonate with you?  Do you try to fight back? Do you remove yourself from the situation?  Do you try to change the situation in some other way?

For most of us, the desire arises to make a change in a charged situation, but you must start to examine what you are trying to accomplish.  For some people, their desired outcome is to achieve harmony, keep the peace, end the discord because it feels so uncomfortable when the energy is that discordant.  For others, they want to jump into the discord and ‘duke it out’ until things are resolved, loving the fight as much as they love to win.  And some people choose to remove themselves, allowing the situation to resolve or not independently of their participation.  Do you know your own style when you are feeling that a situation around you has grown uncomfortable?

We must all become more aware of the energies around us.  We feel them but we do not always take the time to identify and classify what we are feeling.  Energy is just energy.  It is not inherently negative or positive, good or bad.  We can, however, judge it compatible or incompatible with our own energy field.  And how much work are you willing to do to clear your own energy field of all the energy that is not compatible with you?

Here is the work for today’s human being – clear the energies.  Clear your own field first, clear your environment, work to clear the Earth of energies that do not sustain her.  If you do not know how to clear energy, then learn, for this skill is needed immediately to keep you healthy and moving forward in your development.  I’ve worked with many clients who simply need to have someone else’s energy attachments removed from their energy field in order that they might feel stronger and clearer.  Carrying around someone else’s energy, especially if it is severely discordant with your own, can drain you and eventually even make you sick.  Removing the influence of that incompatible energy can have an amazing effect on how you feel.

And I’ve worked with clients where, as soon as we did this clearing work, other people could sense that something had happened.  This is not to judge others, for energy cords are usually unconscious attachments, but this clearing can be powerful for both parties because each person is holding only their own energy afterward.

When you get caught up in discordant energies around – for example, when people are fighting or there is a backbiting situation at work – then it becomes difficult for you to be in your own energetic space, clear about the vibrations that are compatible with you.  Do what it takes to clear your own energy field.  Allow in only that which is compatible with the energetic level that you wish to experience.  You CAN be in charge of your own energy field if you are just conscious about it!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Find that place of peace within!

November 8, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

When there is strife in a culture then people lose their way to the Light.  Dealing with friction takes so much energy from a population that many forget how to be at peace within themselves.  We hope you learn that finding a place of peace within your inner being is the only way to reduce strife and friction in the world around you.

When is the last time that you felt fully at peace?  Do you remember how to arrive at that place whenever you wish?  If you do not know how to find a place of peace within you then you must first practice conscious breathing.  Start by deciding to breathe deeply.  Yes, it is the decision that starts the process.  Once you have made this decision you must focus all your attention on your breath.  Follow the in-breath down into the depths of your body.  Allow the out-breath to take with it any tension from your body.  Begin this process with a focus on relaxing your body before you try to still the mind and relax your mental processes, for it is by following your breath that you will reach a point where your thoughts can begin to release and ease.

After you have relaxed into your breathing you can create a visualization to help you find a place of inner peace.  If you do not usually see pictures when you do a process like visualization, you might try to create a feeling or a sound or some kind of sensory experience of a place that feels peaceful within you.  Once you have created a place to go to in your mind where you feel totally at peace, then you can return here whenever you are caught up in the feelings of friction that might surround you.

Sometimes it is just by knowing that you have an alternative to the world around you, even if it is created in your imagination, that can give you confidence in your ability to withstand the energies that bombard you each day.  For you must understand that you ARE being bombarded by all sorts of energies every day.  We are not speaking here just of the energies in the airwaves around you, although there can be ill effects to some sensitives from the electromagnetic energies that permeate the atmosphere.  We are also saying that each individual that you encounter in a given day is giving off an energy or energies, some of which are not in consonance with your vibrational level. When you are living a Conscious Life, you must become aware of your energy situation at all times.

Being conscious of your energy situation requires that you understand that everything is energy – your body, your chair, your computer, your thoughts.  Everything you touch in a day has an energy and you leave your imprint on that item as it leaves an energy imprint on you.  Every person with whom you come into contact is also creating/receiving an energy imprint in that interaction.  Adding this to the thoughts that you generate in a day shows how much energy is actually being inserted into your personal space.  When you listen to disturbing news or have a painful interaction with another person, or when you have a delightful exchange with someone you love, you are shifting your energy signature in the world to reflect that interaction.  Become conscious of this energy situation so that you can learn to clear your own energy and disconnect from someone else’s.  In this way you can avoid becoming a part of the strife or friction around you.

Learn techniques to help you with this.  If you need help, work with someone who understands these energy situations.   Go often to the place inside you where you can feel peace so that you can radiate that energy around you.

And remember to breathe!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Decide to Believe or Not – It’s up to You by Rosemary Bredeson

November 2, 2010 — Rosemary

How many times do we have to hear that we create our own reality with our thoughts and beliefs?  Isn’t this message getting a bit tired?

Unfortunately, we must continue to hear this over and over again because there is always another level to the work we must do to gain control over our thoughts.

Have you been working with this concept for a while?  I have.  I learned many years ago that the mind/body connection is very strong.  I had no idea that this was so until I examined some ways in which my mind was controlling my body – in an unconscious way – to my detriment.  I fixed that problem and became a believer in the power of the mind.

There are many books out there that talk about the power of the mind, e.g., Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, a classic.  But the place where we must really begin is to understand that we CHOOSE whether or not to attach our energy to a passing thought.  Sometimes it’s easier to feel that what we think is the result of what is going on in our little world but the truth is that the cycle begins with our thoughts, beliefs and expectations.  We human are learning beings and we are constantly seeking opportunities to learn our lessons.  Whatever we are thinking is bringing the next lesson to us.  If we allow ourselves to attach to negative thoughts we stay stuck and often miss an opportunity to learn a lesson while we stay in the ‘woe is me’ energy.  People who lead fulfilling lives have learned that ‘woe is me’ energy does not propel them forward in their personal growth nor do the problems get solved with that energy.

Now I am not saying that a reaction to a particular situation might not come up as ‘woe is me’ but it is attaching to that thought, staying with that energy, that can paralyze us and keep us from forward progress.  What to do instead?  Recognize how powerful we are and catch the moment before we attach to that thought.  Think instead, ‘I am feeling put-upon and disturbed but I know that I have resources I can tap into to find a solution, or set of solutions, to this problem.’  Keep focused on moving energy THROUGH a situation rather than attaching and getting stuck IN a situation.

The beliefs of generations before us are instilled in us as if they are the Truth with a capital ‘T’ about the world around us and these can be trickier to dislodge because we have to unearth them as influential energies.  We don’t spend much time analyzing why gravity works but we believe that if we drop something it will fall to the ground.  Generational beliefs operate much as gravity does in our lives, but we must learn to analyze the source of those beliefs and choose to embrace or discard them from a conscious position.  Sometimes this requires the assistance of a counselor who can ferret out with us/for us where these beliefs are functioning in our lives.  The effect can be insidious but, once identified, can be dealt with very efficiently.

Understand your role in your reality.  Think empowering thoughts.  Work to clear limiting beliefs.  Identify the source of what you believe and make a conscious choice whether to continue believing that.  THEN you will be living a Conscious Life and your reality will coincide with what you desire it to be!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: What is Your Current Reality?

November 1, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

We are poised to help you with the changes that you need to make in the coming days.  We wish to help you see what the changes are that you must make if you are to grow as a human community.  Are you ready to make that growth happen?

First we would have you consider what your reality is.  Are you stuck in beliefs that were formed by others before you or are you fully present to the current moment?  Your reality is created in every moment depending on what you believe about that moment.  Do you believe you are incompetent?  You will be incompetent in this moment.  Do you believe that the world is not supportive of you?  You will feel that you are not being supported in this moment.  Do you believe that other people wish to help you?  You will receive help.  Do you believe that the Universe is a benevolent place?  You will be the recipient of that benevolence.

Consider what you believe and shift your beliefs to coincide with your desires for the reality in which you exist today.  This is Step 1 in Conscious Living, back to the basics of creating consciously your own reality.

Next, examine your thoughts in every moment.  Are you empowering yourself with those thoughts or are you accepting the role of victim?  Are you understanding your relationship to the Universe as a whole or are you thinking that you are disconnected and alone?  To live a Conscious Life you must become aware of your thoughts.  Observe yourself thinking those thoughts.  This distance from yourself as the thinker allows you to perceive the unreality and false aspects of some of those thoughts.  Allow yourself the freedom to examine every thought you have in a given day.  What feeling does that thought generate?  What call to action is inherent in that thought?  Does it make you want to connect with others or to isolate yourself from the community?  Do you understand that there are thoughts that can have beneficial effects on your body but there are also thoughts that cause harm to your physical self?

Learn how much you can control your thoughts.  Just because many thoughts arise unbidden in your mind does not mean that you cannot control those thoughts.  It is not the rising up of the thought that creates discomfort in you – it is your attachment to that thought, your energizing of thoughts that do not expand you, that causes you distress.  Take charge of your thoughts.  Learn to observe and assess them before you embrace them.

This may take some practice for you but you will lead a more fulfilling life when you are not controlled by thoughts that cause you to contract rather than to expand.

Planet Earth has welcomed to her surface billions of people at this time who agreed to co-create the present day reality.  If you feel yourself disconnected from Mother Earth and/or from the others who inhabit her realm today, then you are stepping into a false existence that is not the true reality of 21st Century Life on the Planet.  Be responsible for your node in the network of the human community on Earth.  Own your role.  Participate fully in your own Life for you owe it to all other humans.

And you start this by taking charge of your thoughts and beliefs, something fully within your power to do today!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Smile and the World Smiles with You

October 26, 2010 — Rosemary

Seems we’re always getting messages about being happy.  Why are so many people feeling unhappy if it’s just a decision that we make?

Maybe the word ‘just’ holds the clue in the sentence above.

Making a decision to be happy seems counter-intuitive to what our society tries to make us believe.  Think of advertising.  ‘We’ll be happy if we just _________’ – fill in this blank with the product being advertised.  Or we convince ourselves that there’s just one more thing to acquire, one more person we need in our life, one more achievement we must accomplish, and THEN we’ll be happy.  This keeps ‘happy’ just outside our reach, because there’s always one more product, perfect person or achievement before we can REALLY feel happy.

What if we all, collectively, made a decision that we are going to feel happy RIGHT NOW, in THIS moment, with whatever we have, whoever is in our life, and whatever we’ve done so far?  Think about the energy involved in making that collective decision!  Imagine if we all looked around at each other and smiled from that place of a decision to be happy!  Wouldn’t that be a great feeling?

OK, so this sounds impossible, but is it, really?  I think about what it felt like when almost 200 people created a healing chi field of energy in Colorado Springs and then listened to the qigong master telling us to ‘feel the inner smile.’  We were only standing in a hotel ballroom with our eyes closed, but happiness was there in that moment.  And it felt good!

Maybe it is too much to expect that every single moment will feel like a happy moment but every time we become conscious of the present moment we can feel happy about something in that moment.  I remember my parents standing in the middle of Wilmett Road watching our burning house.  It seemed like such a huge tragedy, and I was thinking of my melting prom dress in my bedroom.  But Mom & Dad laughed about how the neighbors were bringing him martinis and her iced tea!  They kept saying, ‘Everything will be okay.  Things always work out for the best.’   How could anyone look at a burning house and find anything to laugh about?  Yet my parents laughed about iced tea and martinis!

There is always something around to make you smile.  If you are willing to open your eyes until you find it, you can have a glimmer of a smile form on your face.  Then share that smile.

One surefire way to feel happy is to help someone else.  When you move your focus from what’s wrong with/miserable in your own life and instead focus on helping someone else, you distance yourself from the energy of lack and want and connect yourself with the energy of giving.  There is a higher vibration in the energy of giving to others and this will ‘feel’ better.

The Law of Attraction says that we attract what we focus our attention and our thoughts on.  It’s pretty clear that if you are focusing on what you lack, what is not working in your life, then that’s the energy that you are sending out into the Universe.  When you shift your thoughts and attention to what makes you feel happy, you will attract more of that into your life.  It’s really very simple, even if it is not so easy.

So make a decision today to send out the energy of happiness.  Share your smiles.  Every time you catch yourself thinking about what makes you unhappy, shift your focus.  Even if you have to smile first and shift your thoughts afterward, it’s worth a try, isn’t it?

I’ll hold the intention that you will have happiness inside you today so that you can smile as you read this!  Happy smiles to you!
