Day 69, Tiara Tuesday, October 27, 2009

I must, must, must mention how great of a day for me (one of the best of my life so far) last Saturday, October 24th was.  I must give my Aunt Loretta most of the credit.  That foxy redhead.  Words can't even express.  The feelings are anchored in my heart.  And I must thank myself, her, everyone who was involved and all the love energy that came together (including my own...people we must remember if we aren't able to let love in and feel love and share love because we are keeping our hearts closed...things like this can't by Universal Law happen for us) I'm sure because I purposely have put it out to the Universe by participating in the 100-day open-heart challenge.

Okay, I'll say this.  My Aunt still may have had the party for me she did.  Everyone may still have shown up like they did.  However, since I technically only have control over me...I believe I would not have allowed myself to enjoy it as much as I did had I not been preparing myself to give and receive love more easily with this challenge.

Okay, thanks for reading this.  Now I feel like I have a couple of gifts that I desire to share with you that may help anyone who reads this with keeping their heart more open and able to give and receive love at a grander level than ever before.

First:

I love these two Brad Yates videos.  Before seeing them, I had a time a bit ago where I realized that I was doing exactly what he mentions: withholding love from my body and myself because I wasn't yet what I felt I want to be.



While the above video is about having the sort of can't love my body until, the one below that Brad Yates did is about understanding regardless of what commercials or collective consciousness, etc., would like us to believe we have to believe is how we should determine our self-worth...our value is already guaranteed because we are divine and eternal.  Thank you so much Brad.



I also have an amazing friend, Emmanuel Dagher, who is an amazing heart full of love and has lots of things he has put out into the universe to help us remember how loved we are.  The below is what he calls his minute of transformation.  Here is the link to one of them.

Then there is Rebecca Marina.  The audio from the Lakshmi transmission she mentions in the following video is the one that rocked my world.



Be like a newborn baby and recieve and grow stronger.

If I could give you any suggestion about the Lakshmi audio, it would be to find a way to download it to something that allows you to listen to it while being in as relaxed a position as possible.

Wow!  And as I am writing all of this it almost makes me feel like I wish it was Thankful Thursday since I am realizing how many ways I am gifted love via all of these gifts I am sharing here.  I think one of the greatest gifts I am receiving from my 100 day challenge is how I am expanding my definition of what love is or what a gift is or how loved and blessed I am.  That I feel I had a huge belief that the one and only barameter of whether or not I am valuable or loved or worthy or anything like that is how much money I have.  While I would love more money, I can see that if that is all I focused on I would think I don't have a very great life.  And that would so not be true.  I am so grateful.

I know the last thing I want to share is tut.com is pretty well known in the spiritual circles.  Still, this particular letter from the Universe really inspires me.  So that is why I am sharing.  Enjoy!

I do believe, Lori, that if people would just start by saying "it's fun," when it seems hard; "I'm happy," when they seem sad; and "I know," when it seems as if they don't, they'd finally discover that it really is, they really are, and they always have.
Works for me,
    The Universe

Day 20, Tiara Tuesday, September 8, 2009

Just got back from The Bonnie Hunt Show taping. I really enjoyed it. As far as the open heart "journey" goes, I love when things like going to Bonnie Hunt present themselves in my life. In many ways, I feel like the more you live from an open heart and stay in the love...the more fun opportunities present themselves to you in your life where you really just need to show up and enjoy. And then be quite grateful to the Universe and yourself for. As amazing as God and the Universe and all of it is divine and wonderful, the universe can not bring you what you have not opened a door for it to bring you via your vibration and consciousness. So remember to love yourself and appreciate yourself too.

Okay, that was sort of the fluff. I feel like what I am going to write now is pretty amazing and could potentially enhance the flowing and glowing well-being in most people's lives.

You know I wrote earlier about squidoo and focus and lenses and eyes and pupils and seeing divinely and all these "vision"-type metaphors. One of my favorite is "when the pupil is ready the teacher appears". Notice I purposely wrote pupil, as yes, it is a synonym for student, but it also is an eye/vision word.

As I've mentioned, I've been flirting with physical body appreciation and love and perhaps a product I could create and for sure one2one sessions with people who wanted help with this. Ever since I first read the 7 Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra, which to me was my real herald into spirituality, it totally rang true to me that I should be able to effect any change or create anything with the power of my mind. I am still not as adept at it as I would like, but I am so convinced (and even more convinced with the advent of the collective consciousness with the Law of Attraction) that I continue to practice what I think is possible.

As a quick aside before I get to the meat of this, I have to say that there appear to be two spiritual practice types. Those who practice with the inclusion that their physical body is their temple and so have not really let it go or have always had a great body image and those like me who always felt I was too fat even when I used to be a size 6 and now I would feel like that was thin and awesome...who always felt I had a weight problem (and who sometimes contemplates that it is interesting how my weight issue also seems to correspond with another wait issue, a tendency to procrastination...which still can be synthesized down to not enough self-love, confidence, esteem...choose your name of choice).

Anyway, I love the internet. You know I used to hate email. Okay hate is a strong word, but I was less than fond of it. Now I love the way Twitter and Facebook and Squidoo and YouTube and the like with one post can reach everyone who might be interested in what I have to say and then if they see it great and if they don't that's okay and when they see it is great. And vice-versa. I can see and read about so many different things I may not have otherwise searched for or knew was available and what is going on with others in their lives and the like. And I can do it at a time that works for me. In other words, it's all good.

And I love how this affords the opportunity to knowing one person then means I am soon introduced to someone they know that I am happy to know about and so on and so on. This sort of thing happened with Brad Yates who is now promoting a project he did with Steve G. Jones on confidence. Steve G. Jones is a very awesome and effective hypnotherapist. So knowing Brad who then decides to work with Steve, leaves me confident to check Steve out. And then add him as a Facebook Friend. And now I see what Steve has to offer. And before I know it, I've bought (see I don't like to be sold, but I love to buy...which is the mantra of Jeffrey Gitomer I learned from his book Little Platinum Book of Cha-Ching) one of the many, many titles Steve offers, which happens to be on body appreciation.

I loved the download. It seems powerful and effective. And to be a great answer and tool. And because I am ready for this, a powerful and effective tool showed up. When the pupil is ready... I think I've listened to it four or five times already. Here's what I feel will not only help me flow and glow more gloriously with well-being, but may enhance yours too.

I wrote that it had occurred to me while listening to a teleclass I took on abundance that one of the things they need to remind people of the most is that they deserve wealth. That hearing this got me to thinking about how many of us whether we conscioulsy picked up these beliefs or not do feel we deserve to be poor and deserve to be fat or ugly or any of the things that are in disharmony with well-being because we know we are bad and have done bad things and deserve to be punished and God never said it would be easy and our religions say we are born sinners and can never really trully be saved and any number of bizzare when you really take a look at them in the light of awareness things that we have just bought into through our lives and day-to-day living.

And as I was listening to this Steve G. Jones download for about the third time, a thought popped into my head that I have and so others probably have some beliefs that are something to the effect that it is wrong to be listening to a hypnosis tape which is brainwashing me into believing something that isn't true about me and how dare I think that it can be effective without me having to diet and starve myself and eat foods I don't particularly find enjoyable and then beat myself up about how much I should exercise...kind of like the way they treat fat people on that show "The Biggest Loser". If you are overweight, isn't this what you deserve. How dare you let yourself go? How dare you not follow all the rules of eating healthy and blah, blah? Or as I mentioned in a previous blog post, how if eating ice cream is truly bad then you would have a judgment about it whether a thin person or a fat person is eating it. And yet, I know, even for myself I have these judgments. If I see a thin person eating so-called fattening things, I think nothing of it. But if I see an overweight person, I judge them.

Anyway, I was thinking about how I had this awareness of a belief that it was somehow wrong or could be considered wrong to listen to hypnosis with the expectation that I will morph into my ideal body size with repeated listening. That's when other thoughts started flooding in.

That's when I started thinking that a loving...no...a divinely loving Creator of all that is...the I AM THAT I AM, which divinely loving to me is even a step above and even more of a higher, finer loving vibration than unconditional love, which unconditional love by definition is love not based on any condition...well, this divinely loveing Creator would in my opinion NEVER and I mean NEVER EVER expect me or anyone to think I deserved to be poor or ugly or fat or sick or homeless or hungry...you get the drift. That this loving Creator would actually prefer we think thoughts of the truth as often in every amazing moment of NOW as we would allow ourselves to think/feel in every amazing moment of NOW.

That if we have beliefs or feelings in our consciousness that say we somehow deserve to and should think/feel/identify with ourselves in a particular way that is in disharmony with flowing and glowing well-being because that is how we seem to appear to ourselves and the world in the physical...that those voices or those "this is what you should's" are not from the Divine but from some human belief that you picked up somewhere along the way that you are in no way, shape or form obligated to hold onto or ever feel or think again.

So if affirmations or hypnosis tapes or EFT or ho'oponopono or anything like that helps you to reidentify yourself and think/feel in more amazingly wonderful present moments of now things that are aligned with love and flowing and glowing well-being (and not fear...remember where love is fear is not and fear is not where love is) this must reasonably be perfect for you.

I mean I think it is amazing that the Divine loves us so much that we are allowed to lie to ourselves for as long as we desire to lie to ourselves, but I just can't imagine that the Divine has ever expected us to have to lie to ourselves out of some perverse desire to see us, his children, suffer.

It is just these sort of lies (beliefs and feelings in disharmony with flowing and glowing well-being which is the truth of who we are...our true Divine identity) that may be in our current personal consciousness that ho'oponopono is designed to also assist you with dissipating.

Phrase 1: I love you. Designed to be directed to the Divine to connect with LOVE.
Phrase 2: I'm sorry. Designed to ask LOVE to forgive you for your error in thought/feeling...the lie you've convinced yourself is true about you and/or your identity and/or even the identity of another child of the Divine and ultimately in disharmony with flowing and glowing well-being.
Phrase 3: Please forgive me. In the eyes of LOVE, the Divine, this is not for the Divine necessarily since the the Divine loves you more than unconditionally forgiveness technically does not exist in the mind of the Divine. It is for you. For you to forgive yourself for somehow picking up this disharmony in your consciousness. And it is the cue for Divine LOVE to clean and dissolve this vibration from your consciousness.
Phrase 4: Thank you. With the dissolving, a void is left in your consciousness. The thank you is to thank Divine LOVE for cleaning, dissolving and filling the void with a vibration in harmony with flowing and glowing well-being.

Others are welcome to see them selves, me and anything any way they like. For me to stay in harmony with my true identity and to flow and glow more fully and brightly with well-being, it is for me to see everyone (including me) and everything as Divine, which in truth it is.

To sum up: 1. You deserve to be flowing and glowing with well-being as much as possible in every amazingly magnificent moment of now that you are able to allow yourself.
2. This means thinking/feeling about you (and others...which I suggest work on you first and then how you perceive others and everything...for there really is no distinction between what is sacred and what is not for it is all Divine and therefore, sacred), identifying you as being flowing and glowing with well-being in as many moments of now as you are able to allow yourself. And if for a while you need to have a crutch (which I don't really like the vibe of that word) or whatever they call that stick they use when a tree is growing to help it grow straight and strong in order to have more of your moments be moments where you think/feel more in alignment with flowing and glowing well-being...then you go girl (or boy, as the case may be). Remember where love is fear is not and fear is not where love is.
3. In the absence of using a tool like affirmations or EFT or hypnosis or visualization and the like, ho'oponopono is a magnificent tool. This tool practically screams out for you to bring everything in disharmony with flowing and glowing well-being so you can connect with Divine LOVE to clean, dissolve and replace this disharmony with harmony.

And so it is.

As a P.S. I want to formally congratulate Mike Dooley and www.tut.com for having their 7th year anniversary today. For those who do not know about the inspiration Mike Dooley had 7 years ago to start writing emails to those who wished to receive them as if they were inspiring messages from the Universe to the recipient. And you can also become a member of tut.com as membership has so many more priveleges in addition to those fabulous emails.

And 090909, as I write this which is tomorrow, is the big day for the global observance of the currency cleanse. I would be so thrilled to have as many energy workers as possible to participate in the event and see what love can do for the health of our global fiscal fitness. To find out more about the currency cleanse, please visit http://www.friendsofthelawofattraction.com/Currency_Cleanse.html

Thank you. I love you.

Day 16, Friday, September 4, 2009

Have you ever had one of those nights where you felt inspired to create something, but since it was bed time and you SHOULD be sleeping...instead of just getting up and doing it, you keep going over and over it in your mind?

Can I get an, "AMEN"? Amen!

I love Brad Yates' EFT ho'oponopono video. I added it to the Currency Cleanse page on the friends of the law of attraction site 'cuz I value it so much. Then I found out that he doesn't say it in the video in the same order as they refer to it in the Zero Limits book by Dr. Joe Vitale and Dr. Hew Len. Also, in the book they are specific about directing the words, "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." to LOVE, the Higher Power.

So I wanted to make a video but I do not like being on camera, I didn't really want to ask anyone else to be in it and I have limited editing skills. What is the answer? Why not have it be semi-serious in the sense the information is solid, yet why not make it a little cheesy and hopefully then a little fun. You know put a little joy and smile into it.

And ta da. Today I created that video. It actually came out a little better and was a little easier than I thought even though I forgot a few things I had wanted to put in it and would have liked to have made it a bit shorter. Still, all in all...just for my own joy and pleasure...and then hopefully yours...I share my video creation with the internet universe.

In case you think I have forgotten about my pet projects, currency cleanse and the big idea of adding donate buttons on every website so people can easily practice inspired giving from the heart...anonymously...with no expectation...I haven't.

To see my video, you need to go to the Currency Cleanse page. You can magically be transported by clicking here. Once there you can click on the appreciation and giving page to find out more about the inspired giving.

Anyway, ain't life grand? Technology too? And as I am feeling good and loving life, I am also flowing and glowing with well-being. And so it is.

OMG

Okay, I am always a little sad when I use OMG, but it had to be done.

I got an email from Brad Yates today mentioning his new program Confidence Beyond Belief that he created with Steve G. Jones, Hypnotherapist. As I was watching Steve's video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8sBTx3ODO8&feature=channel), he started mentioning exactly what it seemed I was eluding to earlier. Circumstances and/or anything in the outer world do not define me. It is how I feel about me, knowing thyself, knowing the truth of who I am in the eyes of the Divine, that defines me. Thus, whether I'm on an island doing nothing or in the most raggedy of clothes or even appearing to be homeless from an outer perspective or if I live in a mansion and have a billion dollars...none of that changes how loved, blessed, confident, etc. I feel...I flow and glow and radiate.

So a shout out to Brad Yates and Steve G. Jones for helping me nutshell.

I am flowing and glowing well-being (whether I see it or not) and ALL IS certainly and always WELL. I love you. Thank you.

Day 10, Saturday, August 29, 2009

This morning, despite being happily awakened by a phone call from my oldest son, well...let's just say I don't jump right out of bed feeling thrilled that anything great is going to happen today or...well...I'm not sure of the words to say.

Yesterday, I took a break from being on the computer. I had some wonderful moments, like filming the wonderful water show going on in my front yard. Children amaze me. It's been hot in our area (hotter than normal...hot enough for air conditioning). And while the kids weren't at a five star resort or at the beach or what most would have to feel is the place they need to be in order to feel like it is worthy of them, etc., these kids were having so much fun. There were many screams of delight. I can only assume that in their minds none of that mattered...only the pleasure and joy of the moment.

Anyway, what I didn't even intend to write the above paragraph. Interesting. What I felt inspired to write about today was how I can be. Getting an insight into my knee-jerk ways. I was on such a high Thursday feeling how great an idea I had been inspired and entrusted with. And then yesterday and even this morning before I faced my computer (I know it sounds funny as I write it) expecting there would be someone, somewhere who would ridicule me for having such an idea. And as I write that, I can see how sad if something like that runs me. For I'm sure every idea must have those who will ridicule it or tell you it's stupid or whatever. So one can see why I was in not the best, most aligned with divine love well-being place this morning.

So, I made the coffee and I gingerly powered up my laptop. First thing I do is check my msn email, which is pretty much dedicated to the daily messages from the universe, tut.com. They only come Monday through Friday, but I didn't see yesterdays. And I have to send out love and appreciation to Mike Dooley because Friday's message put me right back into love.

Remember, I'm on an open heart challenge. How much can I come from my open heart and love in each moment during these 100 days?

As I went through my sort of routine (although I am not a fan of routines and I do try to change it up), not one word of ridicule. And my mind started getting into peace and thinking more about my idea and if it truly came as inspiration, then it is a divine and sacred idea. It is important for me to remember that for starters.

And then I started to think about what our world might be like it I asked for help to spread the word and everyone had some sort of web presence that had a donate button on it. And everyone practiced giving 10% of the wealth that flows to them...just because...no expectations...to those who when asking their heart they felt inspired them that day. And they were able to do so because everyone had a donate button they could access. And as this progressed, maybe the donate button actually became the choice of having a "gift" button or inspired giving button or something like that. And that with the inspired giving button PayPal included the software so that the source of the gift was left anonymous to help ensure the gift was given from the heart with no expectation.

I started thinking about the well-being this would enhance in our globe...amping this vibration. And the well-being it added to our global fiscal fitness because it would encourage wealth circulation from a place of love and peace and giving...some of the highest vibrations definitely in harmony with love, an open heart and well-being.

That in truth, I should feel such immense from my open heart appreciation for being entrusted with such a divinely inspired, global enhancing idea. Even more importantly, I should feel humbled because I need the help of spreading the word and participation from others, etc., in order for the "big vision" to become manifest.

In closing, what I am really doing is asking for help. I am asking for those who read this to visit http://www.friendsofthelawofattraction.com. I am asking for those who read this to participate in the currency cleanse on 090909. I am asking for those who read this to check out the currency cleanse page and the appreciation and giving page. I am asking for help spreading this message. I am asking the universe to help me attract those who can help make this divine idea a manifested reality. You never know how the web of who knows who can help get the word into the hands of those who can help.

I thank the divine for entrusting me with this idea. Somehow, I figure I may not be the only one. And I thank all of you...anyone and everyone who was giving enough to help me spread the word or do whatever they feel motivated to do to help this vision manifest.

Namaste.

Day 7, Wednesday, August 26, 2009

So today would have been my dad's 76th birthday. Happy Birthday, Dad. Thank you for the blessings you helped my soul experience. I hope wherever you are in your soul's journey it is filled with love and blessings. My dad passed over ten years ago.

So, if you are reading this, where's day 1 through day 6? I had already set up a google account for blog spot under a business my son and I share, http://www.beerchillin.us. What's a so called spirituality fanatic doing with a business that more or less promotes beer? That's another story. And the real gist of our business is we sell beer steins and promote beer as a way to chill...not to get drunk. And the stein as a way of enjoying your sudsy beverage in a way that makes you feel rich as you drink whatever beer you enjoy. As a way to celebrate and toast to the good life.

Since the account is in my name, when I decided to do this blog Google wouldn't let me cancel this account to set up another. And try as I might to get them to and/or figure out how to add the blog I started be part of this account...I couldn't figure it out.

This seemed a great compromise since I was only five days into the old one and everything I've written I have also posted to my CCOR (co-creators of reality) page.

After today, this blog and my CCOR page will track again. Whoo hoo!

If you are interested in my CCOR page, you can click here.

If you are interested in the CCOR page for the 100 day open-heart challenge, click here.

Today, I was excited to see that Dr. Joe Vitale's book Attract Money Now is available to download in digital form for reading. If you would like to get your own copy, click here.

I read it. I loved it. And yet, to be honest, I was a little sad by it 'cuz he includes everything I've been feeling and sensing as truth but didn't have the confidence to write myself. And there is a part of me that feels like why try? Why reinvent the wheel when he has expressed it so wonderfully. And it sort of makes me rethink what it is I feel like I have been going for with the business I wished to start. And so there is some sadness.

And yet, part of me feels like in as much as it has derailed me a little, I still feel committed to living more from my heart. And that what Dr. Joe Vitale describes as Dr. Hew Len's philosophy of life where you actually get to the point of not even needing intention (except that I still must have to have the attention to follow what Dr. Hew Len teaches, eh?) is such an open heart place.

Also, as I was writing stuff (if I read a how-to type book, I like to write out things that sort of shout-out to me as something I want to remember from the book as a way of reinforcing the teaching), it occurred to me that while my time reading the book and spreading the word is well-spent, I am still in love with the whole ho'oponopono concept and how it applies to living with an open-heart.

Dr. Hew Len basically puts it out there that in every moment I should be silently saying the 10 ho'oponopono words (I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.) to myself and to the divine. This tracks with my intention to be 100% impeccable. And to be more like God consciousness in the sense that Dr. Hew Len doesn't limit what I see as divine as being simply other humans. It's all divine. It's all energy.

What occurred to me in the context with the Law of Attraction is that if in evey moment I simply practice as Dr. Hew Len describes and continue to repeat (or as much of every moment as I am able and think of it consciously until I get to every moment) the 10 words, well, when is the point of attraction? Right. The point of attraction is in the point of attention, which is in the present moment.

It stands to reason then that if in every moment I am continually reciting the 10 words (and maybe, I cheat a little, but don't think it can hurt 'cuz I like to repeat what Brad Yates says in his ho'oponopono video and you can see a lot of this and more if you, click here) and pepper in the "Thank you for the blessings I have. Thank you for the blessings I am receiving" then in every moment I am vibing more and more in harmony with divine love.

And as I vibe more in harmony with divine love, then what could there be to fear. What must show up...what I must then start attracting on a moment to moment basis is only going to be more and more in harmony with divine love. Sometimes I like to misspell harmony and spell it har-money, as harmony with the divine is harmony with all aspects of well-being, which include health, wealth, beauty, love, joy, peace, etc.

I mentioned too, that ho'oponopono is simple. It's easy to remember. It almost makes it easier to have me be told to just do it all the time 'cuz then I don't have to remember when to do it and when not to do it. And here's what seems like it will be the other benefit: it helps me let go of resistance. It is helping me let go of deciding if what is showing up is something I should like or not, instead it simply frees me to love it and then say next. Or as the prayer implies. By repeating it, it frees me up to either forgive myself for whatever was in my consciousness that I attracted it into my awareness. Then I appreciate it and love it and bless it and send it on its way for the next best, more in alignment with divine love and well-being experience to show up.

And I have to say that this sort of thing has opened the door for me to love a seeming virus threat and love it out of my life. And it opened the door from unexpected cash to start flowing in from places I so didn't expect.

Okay, so all in all, the book was worthy of the read. I would recommend it. And how can you go wrong with such wonderful information shared freely and requiring only an investment of your time.

It's going to be exciting to see how my life is different at the end of the 100 days. On day 83 I will turn 50 in earth years. I've always had a feeling I would live past 100 physical years in this lifetime and in a fabulous and fit and full of well-being way. This could be an awesome way to herald in the second half of this glorious incarnation.

And so it is.

P.S. Brad Yates has a wonderful (at least in my opinion) program he did in conjunction with Dr. Joe Vitale that incorporates EFT, called Money Beyond Belief. Probably the best $49 investment I've made in a long time. One of the things included in the program is a short audio to tap on embracing change. Had I known at how helpful just this short audio would be, well... If you are interested in finding out more about this program, please click here.
