refinement on the path

What choices do you make to improve yourself (increase your vibration)? Think about what you enjoy. Make time for these experiences in your day, week or month. 

You might start with the observation, "I savor a simpler life surrounded by the great outdoors." Choices enabling this might include:

• Tai chi/qigong practice at a nearby park with friends.
• Riding your bicycle along the ocean.
• A diet of recently living plants and animals for greater chi content.
• Using products that promote a healthy lifestyle (such has supportive mattress and footwear).
• Physical grounding to earth - walking barefoot on the beach.
• Eliminating TV, newspapers and magazines with fear-promoting content.
• Infusing prana to all the cells of your body with each breath.
• Communicating love to your whole being with the inner smile meditation.
• Listening to music that resonates with your being.
• Humming or singing to release your inner joy onto the world.
• Gleaning the best of what comes into your experience.
• Abraham-Hicks daily quotes in your email.

Those around you now sense your joy in the things you do, your appreciation of the world and your energy for what is next!

This is a path of mastery.

what you are

Michael Beckwith, who teaches universal truth principles found in the New Thought-Ancient Wisdom tradition of spirituality, is another great motivator who was interviewed for HWTM-12. A few pearls of his wisdom are offered here:

• God can only be known within - through your attention.
• We are emanations of God and never separated from God - like light waves from our sun. We are the life of God - an evolutionary impulse - omniactive.
• In moments of meditation we recognize omnipresence. (Presence, not an absence!)
• Spiritual practice (yoga, chant, praying, audio inspiration) offers insight beyond perception (filters - such as doubt, fear, anger). It sustains aha moments that free limited perception.
• Be with people of higher vibration to help maintain expanded perception so you can shift with the right conditions.
• Serve the greater good.
• Center your life around what you love or desire to achieve.
• See your goal as already achieved to mold energy. When the condition is right, the potential erupts consciously creating our lives. (Feel - embody - show up.)
• We are a dimension of the soup of God.
• Open yourself to the awe of the universe.
• Laughter is a stepping stone.

what you want

Jean Houston was one of the speakers on HWTM-12 and here are some gems she offered listeners:

• We are the neurons OR the cancer of the planet. We use free will to choose every day.
• Bring in artistry and love for what you do.
• Draw three columns on a sheet of paper and place three headings: "What I want from the universe", "What the universe wants from me" and "What the universe and I want together". Each morning over several days spontaneously fill out a fresh sheet of paper with these columns. Compare all the sheets to gain insight to your path and purpose.
• Sustain the image of what you want in life by using your senses to envision where you want to go. Your activated senses bring the goal into manifestation.
• Remove a block by approaching it from a different perspective.
• Look for your positive patterns of repetition (a method that works smoothly for you).
• Repattern your past by changing how you feel about it! (Accept it to release negative feelings.)
• You are an acorn that grows into a tree; all you need to get there exists within.

up your vibration

Kaitlyn Keyt, five-time Visionary Awarded Inventor, Speaker (recently on HWTM-12) and the creator of VibesUP, a resource for Vibrational Energy Education and Tools, is referred to as an Intuitive Scientist. She reveals the simple KEY to unlocking the mysteries of our universe and solving everyday challenges. Kaitlyn feels common sense and our inner voice are the way back to tapping into our inner genius. 

Nature is a  friend helping us to remember, as she explains about her products: "Gemstones and essential oils send out frequencies of energy attracting  back more of that same energy. This is similar to how a radio works. Essential oils fine tune the beneficial qualities of the gemstone, the liquid crystal coating amplifies that energy and the tiny gem spheres in the coating work like natural good energy batteries, regenerating themselves, delivering the energy on a deeper level, and are powerful enough to charge anything they are around with good, healthy energy and at the same time clearing out non beneficial energies."

These tools exist to raise your vibration and offer incredible healing potential. Explore Vibes UP with the video, Nature Knows. Take the opportunity to bring your physical and infinite beings into alignment by infusing all aspects of your life with powerful Earth energies. 

When we do not believe in ourselves our energy goes outside of us. This keeps us in a limited state of being -- limited heath, awareness, creativity, personal power, even life expectancy. When we began to believe in ourselves our energy now stays with us and begins to build. The more energy we have, the higher we vibrate and the higher we vibrate the more we can tap into the our higher selves and the amazing, powerful, and unlimited beings of LOVE that we really are. Nature is just like a friend taking us by the hand and leading us back to ourselves. Nature is a true and trusted friend at this every important time in our awakening.

Kenny Loggins on relationships

Relationships was the topic of conversation between singer songwriter Kenny Loggins and Jennifer McLean on Healing with the Masters, Series 12.

In recent years of his musical career, Kenny teamed up with two other award-winning songwriters Gary Burr and Georgia Middleman, and the blend of voices is magical. (Watch and listen to "Dream" performance of the Blue Sky Riders.) He talks with Jennifer about how the magic happened and continues:

• Learn to expand in new ways; move into a place in life with convictions of the heart.
• Be present. Be transparent and completely honest. Tell the truth gently.
• Speak the truth and be with someone who wants to hear the truth.
• You need to have a willing partner.
• Start with a social agreement, a method of operation. Integirty is a primary objective. I answer to myself.
• Your first relationship is with yourself because that dictates your relationships with others. Do you love yourself?
• As we write the songs, we see what we stand for. I feel fully alive on stage.
• Live with your heart open. You need to have access to the heart to feel, to write. Just keep saying yes and see where it takes you.
• If you feel a spark, follow it. Explore it!

self healing

Chunyi Lin  is a certified international qigong master, the founder/creator of Spring Forest Qigong, and coauthor of the #1 Amazon.com bestseller, Born A Healer.

He recently spoke with Jennifer McLean on Healing with the Masters, Series 12. Snippets of his experience follow:

• Qigong helps transform energetic expression (pain to feel good).
• Everyone is born a healer.
• Flow or energy (love) has four basic elements:
• Breathing to connect the heart, mind and body.
• Power of mind.
• Gentle simple movements.
• Sound/vibration of voice to help open energy channels in the body.
• Most of the energy we get each day is from breathing. Take 15 minutes per day to breathe in/out 10 times per minute to this reduce stress and blood pressure.
• Normal breathing only exchanges 60% of air in lungs/body. Take slower deeper breaths to activate the love energy in your heart.
• Qigong is about you; it is not a religion although qigong techniques are used in some religious practices.
• Breathing includes the lungs and the skin.
• The voice is a powerful tool (chanting, singing, humming) because over 80 energy points in the mouth connect all over the body.

taking your power

One might wonder what the experience of Lee Carroll translating the Kryon energy is like. This quote from Lee Carroll's presentation, "Lightworker's Guide Past 2012" in Haverhill, MA on August 13, 2011, expresses it perfectly.

"So stay with me in these moments. Kryon is not an authority. There is no proof in these words. There is nothing but love, an energy which cannot be denied by those who wish to feel it surging through the room. It is not a parent-child relationship I have with you. It's a brother-sister relationship, equal in every way. You are a part of the Creator and so am I. You are doing the work. I am at your feet washing them in appreciation, in wonder. I am an informer of subtle energies you may not be aware of. I am an advisor in love. I remain in service.

This is the relationship you have with God, that part of you which vibrates higher and is as your soul energy is called the Higher Self. It is 'higher self' because it vibrates higher.  It is multidimensional and you live in a 3D reality. That means it separates itself from you and you wish to find it. With your pure intent and your free will, you take the hand of your soul which is eternal. That soul has been with you in every single lifetime. It's the same soul. It's a friend. It's you. It's the core you.

And so many human beings walk the Earth without it wondering why they are confused, why they are always in drama, why they cry, why they have no friends and feel so alone. When at the same time, the angels stand outside your box of reality and the Higher Self sits within you - all wishing to touch you, all wishing to hold your hand, all wishing you would simply remove the box and acknowledge God inside.

Could it be that easy? When it comes to human beliefs, human emotions and human thought, there is nothing easy about it. You have got to change the paradigm of your survival and start taking the power which is yours. The Earth is shifting and you change all things depending on how bright you hold your match" (e.g. recognize God within and live that truth).

your expansion

One of the HWTM-12 speakers, Jo Dunning, offered some of the infinite possibilities for our souls’ expansion. If you listened in, here is a short list:

• Each of us is always connected to Source. Depending on our receptivity, we accept the connection to a greater or lesser degree.
• We are connected individually with our own vibration. What we do and interact with affects our vibration - how connected we feel.
• As our personal vibration goes up, we experience a greater connection - more conscious awareness to more easily receive.
• What we do impacts our personal vibrational resonance. We are the sum total of our beliefs, experiences and interactions.
• Spend time outdoors to release stress.
• Change consciousness by being aware where you are when you go to sleep. What is not resolved remains in your field to handle and is also incorporated into your personality.
• Be in peace, harmony, balance by focusing on something you love, a full-hearted loving place where you are peaceful.
• Clear old stories and negative thoughts.
• Address issues when they happen to clear them from your awareness and attention.
• Follow your own inner knowing. Tune within. All of us have intuition, inner knowing; it is subtle and deep within. The mind is loud and distracting you from inner peace and knowing.
• Breathe deep so receptors deep in your lungs feel peaceful and relaxed, reconnect to harmony and balance, decrease stress and discomfort.
• Stay focused and grounded in love and connection.
• Release worldly attachment and focus within - feeling, knowing and greater connection.
• The heart is a launching pad for higher awareness, thoughts, beliefs, experiences, change, and improvement. Find joy where you are to create a potential to move into a better place.
• Hold the knowing that all is well - deep within. The surface holds pain and loss.
• Loving acceptance of a presence we DO NOT like, completes its role of creating compassion for an experience - not judging - so it is free to move on.

Panache Desai

One of the HWTM-12 speakers, Panache Desai is dedicated to awakening in you your infinite potential and cultivating in those around him the same vibrational transformation he experienced. Some pearls of wisdom from his presentation:

• We have been taught to judge our emotions.
• Divine love is transmuting the emotional layer. The soul wants to expand, awaken. Divine love or grace is the catalyst.
• Awakening is an inner call to transmute emotional density into light an luminosity of our spirit so the soul can be reflected in every area of our life.
• Humanity is awakening to its divinity - to self-love and acceptance - to the life we love.
• The spiritual dimension exists within us at all times. It has become covered over by emotional stuff. People don't see themselves as divine; this is the emotional layer covering the soul.
• Painful feelings prevent you from accessing your divine aspects.
• The emotional content feeds every aspect of your being.
• Awaken to a miraculous life by releasing emotional content.
• External issues are indicators to go within.
• Vibrational transparency is the goal; it's the 'I AM" presence.
• Be available for emotions that come to you.
• The path to your divinity is through your humanity.
• Stop personalizing and accept with the spaciousness of spirit.
• Resistance to emotions creates suffering.
• We can shift the way we meet life. Be available, not overwhelmed; remain centered within.
• People are too little for themselves. (people see themselves as inconsequential and unimportant)

It is best to listen to Panache's presentation. He is delightful. These pearls of wisdom only begin to express the power of his message.

truth is...

Truth is the attribute of when the human heart marries the love of God and the result is passion for your spiritual path. Those who have had this experience know your truth. There are multiple realities of truth that all lead to the same place. You are all connected! These connections are like the spokes on the hub of a wheel; there are trillions of them and they all lead to the center and they are called truth. Whatever gets you there!

The sustenance your life is food. The sustenance of your spiritual growth is truth; it is your passion. What are you going to do based upon the truth that you have is the marriage of you and your higher self. What are you going to do? That is your truth.

I have just told you that there is a spiritual truth for every human being in the room. It is isolated, separate and unique. Yet go figure this out, that when you get together somehow those truths meld toward one purpose. There is a commonality in this what we call quantum effect of commonality. There is a commonality  and you can call it the love of spirit if you wish, a commonality where the truth of the day is manifest in front of you and you are okay with that. And together you see one thing because in the connection between the truths there is a similarity and that similarity is the love of God, that higher self that you have -  that you claim to have - esoteric thing seems to straighten it all out. There is your singularity. There is your beginning. There is your end. That is what truth is.

In a quantum state you are with all life no matter what you think happened to it. The spark that was the consciousness of the human being remains the spark of the soul. It always is. For a while it manifests itself as a human being for the test of the planet or whatever you wish to call this here. When it leaves here it is still there. In a quantum state it invites you to join it. In a quantum state, communication is like that.

There is a commonality in this what we call the quantum effect of connection; you can call it the love of sipirt if you wish. Commonality - where the truth of the day is manifest in front of you.

Excerpted from the Lee Carroll presentation, Esoterics to the MAX, given June 16, 2007 at Mt. Shasta, CA.
 

There are as many different worlds as there are perceivers or Beings or individuals. You are not here to create one world where everyone is the same, wanting and getting the same. You are here to be that which you want to be, while you allow all others to be that which they want to be.

Excerpted from the Abraham-Hicks book, The Law of Attraction, The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham.   

music

Jon Griffin spoke with Jennifer McLean on Healing with the Masters - Series 12. Some great tidbits garnered from the conversation follow:

• Intention is your conscious awareness of vibrations you create and give to others plus what you choose to receive.
• Choose what resonates with you.
• Choose to co-create (what you believe is what you see) rather than exercise passive acceptance (what you see you believe).
• Hold an intention while aligning yourself with frequencies to resonate authentically with your core.
• Hold intention and move through frequencies allowing them to move through you - to create different kinds of alignment in your body.
• Every moment is an opportunity to realign, repattern and retune ourselves.
• Shower the ego with love through music.

Another way of making the point comes from the Abraham-Hicks workshop in Virginia Beach, VA on April, 12 1997.  "Your work is to go forth into this physical environment looking for things that are a vibrational match to joy, connecting to Source Energy, and then following with the inspired action."

about God

"I want you to hear something from us. And, what is 'us'? What are you hearing right now? It is a consciousness that is supposed to be that from the other side of the veil and yet we have told you that God does not have a mind. Humanity tends to take that which is God and humanize it. Humanity thinks about what would the mind of God say or do and be, as if God thinks like humanity. I can't tell you how God thinks because there is no synapse, dear ones.

I want to give you information about you and about us.

There is no mind of God; there is only love. God is love. If you could imagine not an emotion but a thickness of being, of reality that was multidimensional, which means it was unseeable --- where you could actually measure the vibration of light and hear it in the air --- where the sonorities of it would ring in your multidimensional ears, which you don't really have when you are on the other side of the veil, and it imbues you as part of the universe, and you don't float. You do not have a situation where you are any place --- you just are. You share the very fabric of the actual atomic structure of All That Is, and yet you have a name. And your soul represents a piece and a part of that which is God --- the piece and the part that can exist in 3D.

But you don't know who God is. No, really! And so that which is All That Is, wants to talk to YOU. How about you?

How do we feel about you? I only can give you your perspective based on your type of thinking, based upon the emotions that you have --- the highest of which are compassion and love --- and they are poor substitutes for the reality of God."

Excerpted from Lee Carroll's presentation, Santa Fe 7-28-13

your word play!

Daily inspiration from Esther Hicks that will change your world: 

• I'm going to be happy. I'm going to skip. I'm going to be glad. I'm going to smile a lot. I'm going to be easy. I'm going to count my blessings. I'm going to look for reasons to feel good. I'm going to dig up positive things from the past. I'm going to look for positive things where I stand. I'm going to look for positive things in the future. It is my natural state to be a happy person. It's natural for me to love and to laugh. This is what is most natural for me. I am a happy person! (Excerpted from the workshop in Sacramento, CA on March 15, 2003)
• You live in a pulsating, vibrating Universe of advanced harmonics. Everything that exists, in your air, in your dirt, in your water, and in your bodies, is vibration in motion—and all of it is managed by the powerful Law of Attraction. There is nothing that exists outside of this vibrational nature, and as you learn to accept your vibrational nature, and begin to consciously utilize your emotional vibrational indicators, you will gain conscious control of your personal creations and of the outcomes of your life experience. (Excerpted from the book - Money and the Law of Attraction)
• "So, why am I who I am, and why am I born to who I am born to, and why is it set up the way it is set up?" We say, "For the fun of it. For the joy of it. For the expansion of it. For the growth of it. For the difference in it. For the desire producing value in it." (Excerpted from the workshop in Tarrytown, NY on October 17, 1998)
• Love and appreciation are identical vibrations. Appreciation is the vibration of alignment with who-you-are. Appreciation is the absence of everything that feels bad and the presence of everything that feels good. When you focus upon what you want - when you tell the story of how you want your life to be - you will come closer and closer to the vicinity of appreciation, and when you reach it, it will pull you toward all things that you consider to be good in a very powerful way. (Excerpted from the book - Money and the Law of Attraction)
• From the Non-physical, you created you, and now from the physical, you continue to create, and we are nothing if we are not Flow-ers of Energy. We must have objects of attention, that are ringing our bells, in order to feel the fullness of who we are, flowing through us, for the continuation of All-That-Is. That is what puts the eternalness in eternity. (Excerpted from the workshop in Silver Spring, MD on April 19, 1997)
• We want you to enjoy the contrasting experience, just like you enjoy the contrasting buffet. And we want you to reach the place (and practicing Virtual Reality will help you to gain this confidence) that whenever you're in front of a buffet that has so much that you do like to eat, as well as some that you don't like to eat, you don't feel frustrated that there are things there you don't want to eat. You don't feel compelled to put them on your plate and eat them; you just pick the things that you like. And the Universe of thought is the same way. You can choose from it the things that you like. (Excerpted from the workshop in Salt Lake City, UT on June 29, 2002)
• When you find vibrational alignment with You, you personally thrive. You feel good; you look good; you have stamina; you have energy; you have balance; you have clarity; you have wit; you have abundance of all things that you consider to be good. You thrive in all ways when you come into Energy Balance with You. Vibrational Relativity - that's what it's all about. (Excerpted from the workshop in Asheville, NC on May 1, 2005)
• Nonphysical is not asking you to ascribe to some specific label or stand in specific corners or in specific synagogues or churches with specific words. You are beings who are blessed and who are deserving of Well-being, and you will find your Well-being in many different ways — and the labels simply do not matter. (Excerpted from the workshop in Dallas, TX on March 13, 1999)

healing yourself

"Genuine feelings of love and appreciation for your body convey a positive message containing essential life-sustaining signals that result in excellent health.

The decision to accept ultimate responsibility for creating your life experience will empower you toward attaining a state of mental clarity and physical vitality.

In order to live well and thrive during these times of transformational change, it is to your advantage to embrace a belief in vital health, and to accept responsibility for the ability to create it.

Unresolved emotional traumas are the real core issues of disease.

Every illness actually serves as a positive message from one part of the self to another concerning your emotional responses to life.

A conscious commitment to live a better life must be made by you in order to induce the necessary changes required to create the ideal conditions of health and well-being over the apparent reality.

Either by clear intent or by way of beliefs, you will eventually manifest whatever it is that you command.

Collectively and individually your cells know how to keep your body functioning, and if there is a problem, your body lets you know.

When you affirm your desire for a safe and healthy existence, your senses open to subtle new attunements that stem from a reorganization of cellular codes of consciousness.

Reality is fluid; time and space are flexible to change, conforming to the perceptions of the beholder.

The belief that "there is not enough time" will lead to a stress-packed life, and heart failure can occur if the command about time is the predominant or strongest message sent to the body. The heart is the body's time keeper; every beat marks a rhythm that is entrained with the cosmos, in tune with the Womb of the Mother, the Galactic Center."

These statements are interspersed in chapter 5 of the Path of Empowerment by Barbara Marciniak. This book will maximize your quality of life with guidance and explanation that is easy to understand and implement. The content resonates with your inner knowing. Each of us is a soup of beingness (consciousness); all the parts function as one. Furthermore, we exist in a larger soup of beingness that includes all others. Each of us is responsible for the vibrations we place in the field. In taking responsibility for personal health we guide the trillions of cells to what we want. You make your choice - every moment of every day - with every thought, word and deed!

becoming a clear channel

There are many accounts of ascended masters (including Paramahansa Yogananda, Jesus the Christ and Babaji) with various interpretations as to true meaning.

Lee Carroll distilled it into six attributes of mastery, which refers to being a clear channel of the Creative Source and healer.

1. Own/believe that you are a piece of God (e.g., Creative Source).
2. Fall in love with all life (understand, respect and see the systems in play).
3. Look in the mirror and love what you see (that which is eternal).
4. Forgive those who have hurt you (throw it away!).
5. Love God with all your heart.
6. Take everything in the first five attributes and give it to someone else (send light to the planet).

You might ask, So, how do I get there? You have to recalibrate yourself! Sit with yourself and analyze what you have to change. Take stock of who you are. Ask difficult questions:

• What do I fear?
• Do I feed my ego?
• What am I angry about?
• Can I stop reacting to what is going on around me?
• What do I judge?

Now, pull in solutions to impossible problems discovered through the questions. Give intent for what you desire: Dear Spirit, I wish to have the solution to the problem in front of me, the ones to follow that I don’t know about and ways I cannot conceive, and I trust Spirit for this.

Implement changes with mindfulness moment-to-moment and day-to-day. As fear, ego, anger, drama and judgment dissolve from your experience, your vibration rises and you experience greater joy...love...connection to the Creative Source. This is evolvement! 

love energy field, part one

Love has many facets and directions. It is human nature to feel beloved feelings for another Human Being. It is Human nature no matter what race, no matter what culture. Humans fall in love with Humans. What a glorious feeling!

Remember the first time you laid eyes on the one that meant so much to you, and all the emotion that followed beyond that time. Now tell me, is that a falsity or is that true? Is it real or imagined? And what is it that happens with your body? There’s chemistry. Your very brain is affected. All these things, together, create energy between the Human Beings that can be felt. And you know of what I speak. It’s pure energy and it’s thick with reality!

And is this also true with animals? How many of you are in love with an animal? Don’t you love the unconditional love you get back from an animal? When you look in their eyes, you see the preciousness there. Are you surprised that the animal feels this? So often, the love is returned. How is it there can be love between a Human Being and a simple animal, some very small and some very large. Here is a creature that has no intellect and cannot even speak your language, yet they have love. What if this energy called love was a universal property?

It’s a very energetic and powerful thing, this love. When even the animals of the planet can feel a Human Being giving it to them, do you think that there is actual energy being transmitted with the emotion of love?

Dr. Masaru Emoto, author of The Hidden Messages in Water, asked Human Beings to direct their thoughts of love into the water and obtained visual proof that the water changed. There is a very strong field connected to this emotion. It can change the chemistry within a Human. It is a field that is felt by the animals of the world. Nature even responds to it. So is it a stretch of your imagination to think of what it might also be doing esoterically? What kinds of effects might it also begenerating around you?  What if you could somehow direct the effects of thisinterdimensional love energy to a place? Would it make a difference?

The emotion that is love and compassion has an interdimensional field. It is like a bright light that illuminates the darkness. Can you allow the thought, for even a moment, that the emotion of love might be able to change your own DNA? This is a profound truth. The energy of love is absolutely universal, that it is global and everywhere.

(Refer to “Kryon Book 11, Lifting the Veil” or the recordings for October 2005 in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem at www.kryon.com.) 

allow to love

Personal and global ascension requires allowing and gratitude. Allowing what you do not like or want happens when you give your attention to what is desired. Gratitude is appreciation for the incredible variety in all things…personalities, clothing designs, architecture, trees, drinking vessels, and so on.

Daily allowing and gratitude bring you to an inner space of love for ALL without bringing ALL into your everyday experience. With this you discern where you want to go, whose company feels good, what foods excite your taste buds, and so on.

Changes ensue along the path of life. Perhaps the spinach you grimaced over is now a favored green in your salad. Perhaps a person you avoided for a “less than” feeling they transmitted with their presence, has transcended the emotional issue resulting in that message.

Rather than avoiding what is undesirable, focus on what is desired. You can always go to a place of inner stillness where your answers await. (One might sleep on it!)

At a recent tai chi gathering on the Intracoastal Waterway, the participants were mostly quiet for the practice. By being the example I desired for the group, speech was minimal. My meditation on balance visualized  everyone in the group receiving a harmonious blend of galactic and earth energies. Group behavior demonstrated greater balance manifested as silence (focused meditation).  The group tuned to living in the Now. Everyone benefited.

Another way of discussing human interaction is this: love all in the grand scheme whether or not you like their behavior. It is perfectly acceptable to love at a distance and not like upon close inspection. Just follow your emotional guidance scale. If the person does not inspire good feelings in you, place your attention elsewhere.

Whatever you are giving your attention to already has a vibration of its own, and as you give your attention to it, you include its vibration in your vibration...and then your point of attraction is affected. (Excerpted from the Abraham-Hicks workshop in Silver Spring, MD on April 19, 1997)

If man understood that "what I create has nothing to do with what anybody else is creating" then he wouldn't be so afraid of what others are doing. (Excerpted from the Abraham-Hicks workshop in El Paso, TX on November 14, 1998)

the way of reconnection

An alternate title is 'Remembering Who You Are'. The way is whatever you choose with attributes including:

• Respecting yourself,
• Loving yourself,
• Expressing gratitude,
• Releasing judgment,
• Participating in the moment, and
• Living your passion.

Your path is daily practice in mindfulness and it begins with a willingness to change. Just like losing excess weight, bettering academic grades or becoming proficient at a skill, each opportunity can bring you closer to the goal.

As you proceed along the path, you discover (remember) the interconnection of all things. Call it interrelationship, co-existence, ecology, symbiotic or any other of the many relationship labels you can think of. Interconnection is the glue at all levels of our being.

A great example of this in daily life is food. When you eat a meal that satisfies you without indigestion, you are respecting your body, mind and spirit. You love yourself when you make good food choices that satisfy! When you eat joyfully and take your time to savor, that is a form of gratititude. The dining experience excludes comment on the flatware, dishes, serving environment and server, so you release judgment. Contemplating each bite - texture, blend of flavors, heat, etc. - is participating in the moment. Choosing foods that bring back memories of favorite food experiences is living your passion.

If your dining experience is food on the run, then respect yourself enough to make small changes to bring your dining experience closer to something more enjoyable to you.

As you work on the bullet list above each day, at some point you will experience greater connection to the world around you. It will happen on physical and non-physical levels. You will find yourself more tuned in to others...what they need, think and feel. This is where the richness of life comes in.

In the words of Maya Angelou, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Now, you have the opportunity to be the change you wish to experience in the world.

How can one person transform the world?

Help is everywhere. Use what resonates with you. As you evolve, you change, so what resonates with you will also change. Pay attention to your gut, intuition, inner voice, or whatever you refer to as  the guidance system that helps you make choices.

In the course of research for a monthly newsletter, I visited inc.com. I glanced at the Most Viewed list to find these articles:

• 12 Great Motivational Quotes for 2013
• 6 Habits of Remarkably Likable People
• 8 Things Remarkably Successful People Do
• 9 Daily Habits That Will Make You Happier
• 10 Things Extraordinary People Say Every Day.

While these topics were not part of my search, they became part of my 'find' for newsletter content. The topics speak to trends in human consciousness. The readers of these articles seek information to spur them to greater heights; that is the basis of the monthly newsletter I create for independent inventors!

You are independently re-inventing yourself, too!

06- reality is 3D, 4D and higher

We are primarily focused on living in a 3D reality. The fourth dimension is time which is essentially an illusion. While our bodies are rooted in space and time, aspects of being are not localized - such as intuition and love. We interact with higher dimensions by using our consciousness to affect time and space in creative ways.

• My body functions as a unit; all parts are simultaneously aware of what is going on within the body. A great analogy is a flock of birds moving in tight formation; they move in concert to the same information.
• Each of us in some manner has experienced love, whether from a parent, a significant other, a sibling or a complete stranger. Love is an act of caring, whether for a moment or throughout a lifetime. This includes the passion expressed in work, home and play.
• Intuition is a knowing without any physical evidence, something you feel in your gut or have an inspiration about. It may be a fleeting image or a repeating image.
• Time spent in a natural setting is about connectedness to the air, scenery, sounds and earth. It invites rejuvenation.
• Synchronicities or events that align to an intention are the normal function of the fabric of being. Observe those who live their passion. 

In the words of Tom Kenyon, "The consensus in the scientific community among neurophysiologists and biochemists and people who who look at what goes on in the body in relationship to hypnotic states of consciousness, altered states is that when you go into one of these states deeply enough and it is a healing experience, regardless of whether it is real or not, there are noticeable measurable changes in your neurotransmitters, biochemicals, hormones, how your entire neurophysiology is responding".

So, whatever label you use for reality, body parts, function, effect or point-of-view, there are interrelationships on many levels that are measurable and unmeasurable. We exist in a soup fluctuating between individuality and oneness...coexisting as particle and wave.

What that tells me, as a corollary, is that there is a default setting when we enter into life. We move along with the wind, so-to-speak, or we can make conscious choices along the path we take. The most influential determinant of your life is your feelings. Ask yourself what makes a great performer, whether athlete, actor, dancer or speaker. It is their love, dedication, commitment and joy in every act; it is their passion!

Two questions I ask myself repeatedly are:

• What is my passion in life?
• What is my passion in this moment?

It is important to focus on a desired outcome so that the overall path takes you there, AND to live as joyfully as you can right now. There is a balance between the answers to these questions that invites change.
