Radical Forgiveness-Colin Tipping

I am reading the book ” Radical Forgiveness”  by Colin Tipping.

It is fascinating to me how books arrive in my life.   Books that are part of my spiritual path seem to come to me in weird ways sometimes.  They fall off a shelf in the bookstore, or I am 15 feet away from the rack and I focus on one.

I believe these books find us, or put another way, we attract them when we are ready to progress to them in our journey.

The Radical Forgiveness Book came into my life for almost free when I was listening to a webcast and he was the featured speaker this particular evening.  I almost did not listen as it was one of those evenings I was tired, and not wanting to do much.  I decided it would be pretty easy to just sit back and listen to someone talk for an hour.

I think of it as the spiritual version of tuning out to the television. I wish I could credit whoever was organizing this web cast, but I had been listening to so many around that time, I am sorry to say I cannot.

At the end of the talk which was very good by the way,  the first so many people to zip on over to his site could get a free book and pay only shipping.  Well,  loving a bargain,  I zoomed  over and signed up. It even required me to put in my bank account routing numbers to get the book. Something normally, I would never do.  I knew it would be OK, and a few days later,  I got the book in the post.

Radical Forgiveness is an amazing book.  I found it too be very powerful and the perfect next step in my personal growth and healing journey.  It is a book that you have to do, not just read in order to benefit from it’s message.

Colin teaches a process of forgiveness that goes far beyond our traditional concept of it.  It is based on the idea that if we create our lives, then we also create or co-create the situations that are traumatic to us or that annoy us the most.  That we do this in order to grow and progress on our path.

He makes the case that we often keep having the same types of issues and relationships in our lives until we can get the message of this particular pattern, whatever that might be.  That struck a cord with me. There are a few issues in my life, I have not been able to get beyond, no matter how much I work at it.   They pop up again and again in relationships, and in other areas of my life.

In his 13 step process,  he shows you how you can transform situations in your life, and stuck emotions that you might not even be aware of.  In doing the  step by step process in the book, you can transform the situation in really powerful ways.  The release and forgiveness just seem to come naturally, without trying if you allow the book to do it’s work.

I have started to use the process often, and it has really helped me to unhook from a lot of victim thinking,  I was not even aware of.  I have been able to see things from a much different perspective, especially my judgments towards others.

This book is about a real shift in thinking from being victim to being one with everything and everyone.  It is really about taking responsibility for everything in your life and accepting it is all perfect and in divine order.  I have  let go of some  very charged emotions from the past.  I am feeling very appreciative of this book as a help to continue this process of releasing.  I can feel much lighter after doing a session of Colin’s 13 steps in “Radical Forgiveness.”

This book will not be for everyone.  It is hard to think that misfortune, or earthquakes can be perfect.  It takes a lot, to see consider that someone having something terrible happen to them might be part of their chosen path.

If you can set aside any judgments, and allow yourself to do the 13 steps on areas in your life you are ready to transform,   I think you will find it a very powerful and useful book.  It is going to be part of my spiritual arsenal for some time to come.

If you want to visit Colin’s website, you can go to http://www.radicalforgiveness.com/

If you do decide to purchase the book, or if someone throws it in your car window onto the seat, please let me know your experience. I would really like to hear about it.

Spiritual Resources on the Web

Here is a rather interesting site I literally stumbled came across the other day you might enjoy visiting in your travels around the web.  I thought I would share it with you.
This site has lots of information about spiritual healing, angels,  healing energy, dreams, and lots of other topics.  It is quite metaphysical, and therefore not for everyone.

If you are open to angels, and metaphysical topics, I think you might  enjoy browsing around the site.

Grief-How To Keep It From Stopping Your Dreams

Grief is such a part of our world, especially these days.  No matter how positive you are grief will come up for you. It is a normal reaction to loss.

If your dog dies, a family member develops an illness, or dies, or if you experience a change  in yourself you consider a loss, then you will experience grief.  It is a normal human response to loss.

It also can run counter to the positive, and joyful presence we are trying to achieve in manifesting our dream life.

So, what do you do?  Not grieve.  Change your mindset, or think about something else.

Well it is true that putting the most positive take  you can on your grief is helpful,  it is not the whole story.  If you are grieving,  do what you can to make your story positive. You can tell yourself you will feel better in time. You can make your story as positive as you can.

It is very important though, that you don’t block the grief. It needs to be released and experienced.  If you don’t release it,  it will actually create more resistance than if  you do experience it and release it.

The average person if probably grieving to a degree all the time.  All our losses in life bring it up.  Even smaller things like not being able to do as much as  you did when you were 10 years younger, or breaking your favorite bowl can bring out grief in us.

There are a couple good ways to release grief.

• Using EFT- The emotional freedom technique of tapping is really useful to release grief.  Free information can be found about how to do this on my site and elsewhere.
• The Release Technique- check it out in the  resources tab- a great release method  for any emotions that you are experiencing. (Click on the resource link tab at top of page for more information)
• Journaling
• Therapy can sometimes be good- or just sharing with a good friend and allowing yourself sometime to let it out.  cry, shout , or whatever you need to do so  you can get resume with your joyful life sooner.
• Spending some quiet time and just let the feelings surface and be expressed.

It is often a misunderstood concept in law of attraction that negative emotions should not be felt and experienced.  If they are there, ignoring them will not help. In fact, it will slow you down even more.  Better to look at them, see what is there,  find ways to change your story to something more positive, and release the emotions that you need to. This will free you to be less resistive of the dreams that are waiting out there to come to you.

From Feeling Bad to Feeling Good.

The Downward Spiral Away From Your Dream

How many times when you are trying to manifest your dreams, do you find yourself in a negative spiral in spite of everything you know about law of attraction.  It seems it takes a constant effort to be going down the road of getting closer to what you are wanting, instead of towards what you don’t.  I have been working on law of attraction for a long time. I have attracted some amazing things into my life. Yet, I still  find myself often in a downward spiral of thoughts even now.

I often don’t even realize that I am being negative. It still feels so normal to me.  My mind is rolling along criticizing someone or something- kind of going on it’s own.  I don’t feel great for sure. I have gotten off track.

Recognizing Where You Are.

When I recognize  I am moving away from manifesting my dreams,  I am grateful.   Because, then I can turn it around.

That is the first step. Becoming aware that you are doing it.  I find that in order to have this awareness,  I need to surround my self with ideas often that remind me of how I want to be thinking and feeling.  This really helps to undo years of programming of being the other way.  You  know, the life sucks and then.. stuff most of us grew up on.

Helpful Resources To Stay On Track

Some of the daily inspirations  I use are books, and CDs, and inspirational quotes.  I will give you some links at the bottom of the page for some of my favorites.

I try to listen to or read something on law of attraction every day. This reminds me of  the direction I want to be heading in, and often it is enough to turn things around for me.

Once you recognize your direction is off, here are some things that might help.

Find a thought that feels a bit better.  Don’t try to go from suicidal to joy. It won’t work.  Do find a thought that feels a step or two better. For example, the other day I was worried about a loss of income in a certain area and what would I do.  I started worrying  about what could happen.  Fear stepped in.  I had to consciously work at finding some better thoughts. I had to remind myself that I had job skills I could use if I needed to, and that they could fill in until things got back on track. I had to also remind myself that about other resources I have  that could help the situation.  I felt better after doing this. This is how you know. You will feel some relief, and a bit  better.  Your panic will go to mild anxiety, for example.  You will have some relief.  From here, you can keep looking for better and better thoughts.

Thoughts  of appreciation are also great for this.  Think of at least 10 or more things to be grateful for.  Spend a whole day being grateful for things.  Express gratitude even for situations that don’t feel that great .  Being grateful really helps turn things around. Appreciate whatever you can find to.  If you can’t think of something, make it up.

The third and very powerful thing to do is to turn your story around.  Listen to your mental story. The one that is going through your head. The not so good one. Start from what you don’t want,  decide what you do. Start telling this story in your head.  Act as if it is true.   You will know by how you feel, which story is the one you want to tell.  When you tell the negative story, you will feel it in your energy.  When you turn it around, you will smile and immediately feel better.  Don’t worry if the story is not true. It will be if  you keep telling it.

Have fun with this.

Here are the resources I promised.

Until next time,

The Focus Wheel- How It Works

If you follow Abraham’s teachings as channeled through  Esther Hicks, you might have heard of the focus wheel.

The focus wheel is a great way to get back on track when you are in a feel bad place.  It is also a good way to get into what Abraham calls the Vortex. There is a lot floating around right now about the vortex.  It is getting in the flow.  When things feel good and you do, you are in the flow most likely.

I have been on several forums lately where I have heard the vortex mentioned. It seems to becoming a slang term for those of us who are tuned into this stuff.

I am in the vortex.  I am getting into my vortex.  I am working from the vortex.  All a way of saying I am in the flow, and I feel good.

I found this video on u-tube that explains the focus wheel and how to use it.

There is also a link there to get a free focus wheel worksheet that you can use.

Rather than try to explain it, I will put the u-tube link here.

Abundance-Some thoughts About The Flow Of Money

Money

This post is about something I was thinking of as I was driving to the stores today to Christmas shop.  Like a lot of us, I do some of my best thinking in the car.  I guess when you read this,  you will be the judge of whether this might have been an example of best thinking, or just my monkey mind rambling on.

I was having a conversation in my mind about currency, and the law of attraction. You know, the green stuff.  I was thinking about something I have read a lot by several law of attraction guru’s that goes like this.

The concept  that money is to be used, and not saved when you are following manifesting or attracting principles is what was on my mind.  That in using your money when you receive it,  more will flow to you. It is a way of saying to the universe that you trust the money to keep coming.  You will allow it to be used,  and passed on by you.  You acknowledge that the money does not belong to you,  yet you have been given it to use by the universe.

This goes against all the common wisdom in our culture to save and prepare for the future. To put aside as much as you can for retirement, and  to accumulate it as wealth is what most people would like to do with money.

Sometimes when I think of money, my mind glazes over.  Today I was thinking about it in an abstract way.   I am sure if an math wizard read what I am about to say and took it  literally, he or she might  think I am off my rocker.  Yet, I think I am really on to something about money flowing, and the  whys of  not  hanging  on to it.

I was thinking of how money is a combination of the amount, and the speed of the flow.  If you have a certain amount of money- lets say $1000.00,  and you save it you actually have less in a sense than when that money is flowing fast from one person to another.

For example, lets say that we have 10 people and  $1000.00 between them.  Person 1 is given the whole $1000.00.  He  decides to stick it under his mattress because he is worried he might lose his job, and not have any money to get what he needs.  Where does this leave persons 2 through 10. With nothing.

In the second situation, lets say person 1 gets the entire $1000.00 as as in the first example.  This time though  he goes right out that very day and starts spending it.  He gets  something person 2 made for $200.00,  gives $300.00 to person 3 for a debt he owes,  and he then distributes the rest among most of the other people for services and goods. .  He spends all the rest within  a few days.  Perhaps he even just gives some of it away to one or more of the 10 people who needed something.

Then the other people do the same. They pass it right on.  They don’t hold on to it, and they keep it going around. It seems to me, the faster the money circulates the more there is for everyone.  As long as no one gets greedy, or fearful, it continues to work.

So the amount of money available is the actual amount of money times the speed of flow. If the money circulated 10 times around in a week it would be 10,000.00 that was spent or payed out.  If it stayed with person 1 it would remain just the original $1000.00 and no more. If it was circulated 20 times in that week, it would be $20,000.00 spent.

In example one- what did the 10 people have- nothing. One person had the money and what was he getting for it.   He  really had no security. He will continue to worry that someone will find the money, he will be robbed, become ill.  What does the saving really get him except worry. Nothing.  He  really he had nothing, just like the others.

In example two-what did the 10 people have. They had food, goods, services, and it would continue on as long as the money kept circulating around. And the faster it flowed, the more they could have and buy with it.

I am not suggesting that we don’t save any money.  Most people would want to save a little of all they have.   Yet, by spending and using the majority of it as it flows to us, we are helping lots of other people.  We are not worrying about where tomorrows money will come from. We are just trusting it will come. And in the process of helping, we get material things, food, our cars repaired, and good feelings if we are gifting it.

The more we fear and hoard, the less there is for everyone. The more we trust and flow with it, the more there is for everyone.

Think about it. No more guilt about spending money.  You are helping lots of people have more by passing it on to them.

What are your thoughts about this?

Jounaling- Will It Help You Reach Your Dreams?

Journal writing is a great way to work on issues and changes you need to make, so that you can manifest more of your dreams.

There are so many types of journals, and ways to keep one.   Which type is best?

Here are a couple of types of writing that can help you get to your dreams faster.

A GOAL JOURNAL

Keeping a goal journal is very important to reach your dreams.

Keep a list of 4 or 5 dreams and goals you are working on, and  check in on them regularly.  Make sure they are worded in the present, and based on what you want to have for  your end result.  You also could have a goal that is an interim step to the end result that you are working on, and break your goals down into smaller steps.

Review your goals often.  The Release Program in our resources section can help you towards your goals.  You can find information about this in the right side bar menu.

A DIALOGUE JOURNAL

Keeping a journal in dialogue form is a very powerful way to work on your goals.  Write to a part of yourself, and then answer back from another part of you. You can dialogue with your higher self.   You can also dialogue with a part of you that you feel is working against you in getting to your goal.

For example,  dialogue with the part that keeps eating, or shopping, or starting arguments.  Find out what this  part wants from you, and how to meet it’s needs another way.  Work with it.

When doing dialogue journaling, it is important not to judge any parts of yourself.  Be very gentle.  You can debate,  and still be respectful of  that part and it’s voice.

In dialogue journaling,  sometimes some powerful negative energies can come up such as self hating voices that seem to want to harm you.

You may need to seek the support of a professional counselor or therapist if it seems like you are  releasing more intense energy and emotion than you are prepared to handle right now.

This type of journal can be very helpful.

I like to do a dialogue writing  with my higher self often when I am faced with a decision.  I do not question where the information comes from or if it is valid.  I always find it is useful.   I do not always follow exactly what my higher self might suggest. It is always a choice.

FEELINGS JOURNAL

Keeping a feelings journal is another good way to release emotions that may be blocking your dreams.

Again, make sure you do not judge.  Be as gentle and nurturing as you can possibly be with these parts of you.

Strong emotions and crying may ensue.  Think of this as a good thing.  Getting the emotions released is helping you free yourself to work to your goals.

Allow yourself the time to let anger, sadness, grief ,and other emotions surface.  It is not negative thinking to let them out.  It is more damaging to you to not let them out, because they will hang around, go underground and block your dreams, perhaps without you even knowing about  it.

Emotional Freedom Technique

The emotional freedom technique is a really powerful method to clear up blocks of any kind.  Try it on some of your lesser issues first.  Gradually work up to more intense and  deeper issues. If at any point,  you feel the releasing is too intense, then you may want to seek out an EFT professional.  I would caution you  in using it on post traumatic stress, and abuse issues without additional support being available to you.  It can stir up some powerful feelings at times.

This amazing technique can clear up an issue in a few hours.  You can use it over and over on the same issue until you feel the emotional charge of that issue is gone.

Using this method can help you in any area you are struggling-finances, health, relationships, past trauma, or just about any issue in your life.

This video will teach you the basic method of using EFT

Is giving key to abundance?

Does giving have an effect on your abundance?
A lot of people feel that giving is very important in allowing your abundance to flow freely. I have heard this opinion offered by many people with examples of how many of the wealthiest people in the world were very generous in giving to others less fortunate than themselves.

It is true that many wealthy individuals have felt that giving was key to their own abundance. They gave freely, and often.

I have to say that I like the idea. I feel that we are all here to have joyful experiences, and also to help others as we can.

Giving can show that we trust our abundance to continue to flow as we need it. It is a way of demonstrating that more is always coming to us, and it is safe to let go of some of what we have. If we accept the idea that our flow does not come from us, but rather from our creator, then passing some of it to those in need shows our trust in our supply and in our creator.
Giving makes us feel good, and can raise our vibration.

It is not necessary to give so much we deny our own needs and pleasures. If we don’t have a lot of money to give, there are still many ways of giving. We can give our time and attention. We can share or pass on things we know longer need or want, without being so concerned about the monetary value.

These days I find I am much less concerned about my stuff and what it is worth. I am more likely to just give something away I know longer need to someone who needs or appreciates it and not be bothered with advertising or selling it. I know that more is always just around the corner and that it is safe to create space. I love letting go of things.

I have noticed other changes too. I no longer react when I get a fund raising call. I used to get angry and upset. Often in the past, I would not take these calls, or judge the person on the phone for bothering me. Now I may give or not, and either way it is a conversation. I can say no or yes without getting bothered either way. I don’t feel guilty if I say no and I don’t fret about if it was a legitimate charity or not. It is only money and it is for using, and for giving. I am much less attached to it.

I can’t honestly say I have noticed any correlation with my giving and increased money coming to me, or any thing like that. I do, however think it is connected to our abundance. Perhaps it is just the attitude it allows us to have that makes a difference.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this one?

The Release Technique-My Story

The Release Technique that you get as part of the Abundance Course  is on the top of my list of all the programs or products I have ever tried. I am already past middle age, so this is a lot of programs and products  I am talking about.

I have gotten so much personally out of this program. I am so excited about it.  It is something  I will  use everyday for the rest of my life.

The first time I experienced how much it can help to clear blocks was when I was trying to get my house rented.  About 15 months ago, I was trying to rent a property I was unable to sell. I had it listed for a long time, and just could not find a tenant.  It is a big house,  4 baths, gardens, and a lot of land so I knew it would have to be the right family to rent it. I was worrying financially.  It was September, and I was concerned about heating it, and on and on.

I released on it with the tapes I had ordered a few weeks before from the Release Technique.  I actually got mine on Amazon.  I wish I had ordered them from the program, because there are things for support they offer I did not get.  It was a collection of CD’s, and book.

Well, anyway- I am getting sidetracked here.  I was telling you about releasing about my house.  I was very frustrated and getting negative about the whole house thing.

After releasing on it,  I got a call that very weekend from a couple that were interested in it and were moving out from another state.  I met with them. They have turned out to be the absolutely perfect people to rent it. They are very happy there and so am I to have it rented by such nice folks.  I have since had many experiences like this using the Abundance Tapes.  I really believe that it can help us to remove blocks that we are putting in our way. Blocks, that maybe we don’t even know about ourselves.

If you have anxiety, financial issues, health, or just feel things are not going your way I hope you will check into it.  I am putting the link below.  You can just click on the box and it will take you to the  website for the Abundance Program.   Please see my privacy and disclosure post for more information too on my connection to the Release Technique Website.
