If ever you are in a bind and you feel like the world is weighing on your shoulders you can find relief in Knowing.

 

What do I mean by Knowing? Knowing is a feeling that something deep within you can pull you out of your undesirable situation and can give you some relief to help you FEEL BETTER. 

 

Find a quite place where you won’t be bothered (15 minutes) or so and get into a sitting position with your back supported so you are comfortable.

 

 Close your eyes and breathe until you feel relaxed… But don’t fall asleep. (You may want to try this another time if you are sleepy)Listen to your breath move through your body and feel the relaxed essence of your soul. It takes a few times to feel this but be patient; you are now finding out what you are all about and the true colours of your inner Being are waiting for you patiently. 

 

Finding that stillness inside will relax you and help you FEEL BETTER.

 

There are many exercises in relaxing and with a little imagination you can take yourself to a place that makes you feel calm.

 

Once you have entered this state of relaxation enjoy it and just let yourself go. Ask questions that might help your undesirable situation and believe that when you have come out of this state you will feel the answers come to you. The answers may come right after you do this or it could happen a day later or maybe a week later.

 

Be patient and look for signs. Be aware of the moments in your life Now. “Listen to Your Heart” and your answer will come out of the pureness of your Being.

If you close your eyes and feel your breath and make it your habit to, “Listen to Your Heart” it will become your inner guidance system that can be relied on every moment waiting to help.

I read the other day that every thought you think creates your life; so I think I will keep my thoughts happy and joyful.

 

If you meditate on this you will change your life for the better.

 

                    Try it!

Breathe comfortable breaths -inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.Fifteen minutes thinking happy creative thoughts.

 

Imagine and create your life. From this moment the sky is the limit! Imagine, think and create your world the way you want to live it.

 

If you wanted a car you wouldn't want an old broken down car?? You would imagine a new car. 

 

It is the same thing when you imagine your life.

 

Imagine your thoughts are things and by the natural laws of the universe you could change you life!

 

I thought this was great to know and NOW I am a conscious creator!

 

Blessings,

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
Albert Einstein
    Interesting way of looking at life as human beings!

Spiritual HealingDid you know you can heal yourself? Many people might find this hard to believe but it is true. Within in the body you have a spirit and when you breathe and listen it is as though the spirit breathes with you.  When you start to feel this You awakened to all the wonderful things in your life. You feel happy and the essence of love surrounds you and everything is in balance. The whole world wants to know you and you have a beautiful multicolour aura that shines with golden light. But If you live a life of unhappiness and stress, the inner body or spiritual body becomes blocked to “Healing Life Energy or Universal Energy”. This is the energy that moves so freely through your body when you are happy. This Universal energy flows through the body as life-force energy and has many different names like Chi and prana etc. Within this energy system there are chakras. Chakra comes from a (Sanskrit) word which translates to wheel or disc and these chakras cover every area in the body. Most are quite small but there are seven main chakras located along the central line of the body, from the base of the spine to the top of the head. These chakras or discs of energy have corresponding colours and when put together make up the layers of the aura somewhat like a rainbow.  The Base chakra’s main colour is red and has to do with Earth energy. It is located at the base of the spine.The Sacral chakra’s main colour is orange and deals with sexual energy. It is located in the groin area.The Solar plexus chakra’s main colour is yellow and has qualities related to pranic energy. It is located at the naval region.The Heart chakra’s main colour is green and resonates with the flow of unconditional love. It is located at the chest.The Throat chakra’s main colour is blue and relates to self expression and communication. It is located in the throat area.The Brow chakra’s main colour is indigo and helps to balance the higher and lower Being or Selves. It is located in the brow region.The Crown Chaka’s main colour is violet and brings about Divine love and Divine Consciousness. It is located on top of the head. All

Sometimes I get so caught up in the, “Doing” of things that I am lost to what is going on around me. I am so completely lost in what I am doing that it leaves me unaware of my surroundings and it may take a lot of distraction to get me out of this. This mode of, “Doing” tells me constantly that I have to make a phone call, run errands, do the laundry, complete my taxes, prepare for the meeting etc... Of course these may well be things that I have to do and when I am caught in this “Doing” mode my concentration in the having to do them can be really strong! I can go from one job to another not giving a moment’s notice and to appreciate what I am doing. AND before I have even finished my first task I am already thinking about what I have to do next.Letting go of this is not about not “Doing” things. It is about letting go of the “Doing” mode of consciousness - the attitude we bring to our doing. When I am in this state of “Doing”, my body feels tense, especially in my stomach, and I seem to take in any surrounding tension. I don’t really see what is really going on around me only what I am “Doing”. Somehow I filter out other aspects of the present moment. I miss out on the beauty that surrounds me. I become a human “Doing” rather than a human being. Although, I am not usually aware of it; I can get so lost in what I am “Doing”; there is not even space in my awareness to appreciate the fact I am caught in it. Only when I step out of the mode do I appreciate how stuck I have been. Then it seems as if I have been under some kind of spell. However, while I am under the spell, I am under the delusion that I am fully aware. Does this make sense to anyone????Consequently I asked myself the question… How can I wake up and step out of the spell I come under when caught up in the “Doing”???I thought maybe the first step would be to recognize the spell that I am under when in the “Doing trance.I found that before each task I could pause, then after each task pause once again. AND it worked; I became more aware of my surroundings. I felt my productivity was better and I was happier in what I had to do! It gave me time to savor the moment and actually enjoy what I was “Doing”. Notice how you body feels. Does it feel tense? If so take a few deep breaths. Note how your mind feels- Is there an underlying tension or stress? Do you feel over focused or a high strung intensity?  No matter what it is, just take it in. Get to know the feeling of what it feels like to be under the spell of “Doing”. Then just accept it for being there and move on and believe me it will dissolve.  Finally take a few breathes again and really feel your inner body. Let every breath take you within your Self and listen to where it takes you. If you are back to the stressful situation Smile and go back to your breathing. You have now learned how to excuse this undesirable situation with a little acceptance and a smile. It only takes a few breaths to help you focus on what is really going on around you and when you do you will have put your Self right. Don’t be discouraged if you felt it didn’t

The other day I was having coffee with friends and one of them said that she did not want to smile too much or she might get lines. I was a little shocked... smile lines?? They aren't so bad I told her; they show your character-that you are a happy person.

 

Needless to say she was not impressed with my answer.

 

I think the older we get the more interesting we get. My Dad was a doctor for many years and has since retired. He loved his job and worked very hard. He looks fantastic and the lines on his face conmpliment him. He doesn't look like he was dragged down by life. He lived life and was happy.

 

I think that smiling over the years and finding, "YOUR HAPPY" is what it is all about!

 

If you are unhappy and you want to smile, Tools to Life is the perfect place to be!

 

May the Light Shine on YOU today and remember don't forget to Smile!

Here is a visualization and/or meditation exercise for communicating with your subconscious mind or your Higher Self, Spiritual guides, a Higher Power, Guardian Angel and so forth...  Visualization is a great way of talking to your Guardian Angel or Spirit Guides... You can do this lying down (as long as you are not going to fall asleep)or sitting in a comfortable chair.  Close your eyes and relax and imagine you are on the top floor of a beautiful house. It has about 37 steps to get down to the main floor (The number of stairs really does not matter as long as it is not too short or too long.).  Imagine yourself counting your way down the soft plush stairway that spirals down to the main floor. Starting on the 37th step you start counting backwards with each foot softly landing on each step.  Breathe deeply in between each step. Feel happy knowing that there is a wonderful message waiting for you at the bottom. Count down with each footstep no stress, and very calm. Keep breathing in between each step.   When you reach the bottom floor you see a comfortably decorated foyer with several doors. Outside one of the doorways is a Guardian and you ask him or her the question: "To which room should I go to?" Your Guardian gives you a friendly smile and leads you to the door to your room.  You open the door and go in. What you see inside as you step into your room is entirely up to you and your imagination.  Explore the room and look at every detail. Is it neat and clean or is it unorganized and cluttered? Is it welcoming and comfortable with furniture or is it empty and bare? Is it modern or full of old stuff? Whatever you see is fine.  Just make a note of of it.When you feel you know the room, go and find a place to sit down. Now ask to speak your Higher self, Guardian Angels or Spirit guides.  Take a few breaths and wait for them. Once you see them you may have a conversation with them. Ask them what they might want you to know.  Listen closely to the answers. When you are finished, thank them and exit your room.  Be sure to close the door.  Back track to the staircase and back up the stairs, counting up from 1 back up to 37.  When you get to the top step open your eyes slowly. Your journey to your room is complete. Later you can go back to your room any time and talk to whomever you find there.This is a great way to get clarity on a problem by asking a specific question, and going into your room to talk with your Higher Self, Guardian Angel or Spirit Guides.You can redecorate or make other changes to your room.  If it's cluttered, clean it up!  You might find that your life gradually starts to make sense, "more organized" by doing this.  Pay attention to your dreams as they will feel more vivid and they might be trying to tell you something! This is a great exercise for when you are feeling anxious or uncertain
