Journaling.

I once went to a 2-week workshop where journaling was an important part of it. Every morning when we got up we were to pick a card from an angel deck, read it and journal on it. It was not regular journaling, though. We had to journal with our non-dominant hand. We were told that because we didn't have as much control with our non-dominant hand, it made it very easy for Spirit to come through. The information that came through was absolutely amazing. Now granted, it was sometimes very hard to read, but as soon as the message was finished, since it was still fresh in my mind, I would rewrite it with my dominant hand (in this case, it is my right hand). That way I could go back and read it later if I wanted. The information was so helpful for me, that I went back and reread it very often.

You can do the same thing with any deck of meditation, or self help cards. There are so many available today. You don't even have to go to a special store to get them. Even Barnes and Noble, and Borders carry them. But if you don't want to invest in the cards, all you have to do is to sit very quietly for a few minutes, take a few deep breaths and start writing with your non-dominant hand. If you have a particular problem you are working on, concentrate on it before you start writing. More than likely, you will get the answer.

Happy Journaling!!!

I just wrote an article that made me extremely sad, unhappy and grateful - all at the same time!

I did a little research and discovered that mankind has spent 83% of our time at war since 1479 BC. That means we have only had 17% of our history at peace. What the hell does that say about us as the human race? Can we change this? Is it in our genes? Are we doomed to fight or do we just like it? Is it all about believing we are right and we are going to force our will on everyone else? Isn't that why we go to war? Isn't that true for religion and politics? Is any one reason better or worse than the other?

Take a look at the blog - see the wars and then decide if there is anything we can or should do about this as the 'Human Race'.

If we take this information and examine it as 'innate' behavior for the human race then we must come to the conclusion that if we were made in God's own image, God must love to fight, kill and force his will on others. So why does the Bible, Gods book, preach love, forgiveness, long suffering, patience when we, who were made in his image spend 83% of our time fighting, killing and forcing our will on others.

What is wrong with this picture?

There are times when I think that all I am trying to do is unappreciated by all those I am trying to help and just when I think it is time for me to call it quits something happens to change my mind. Today was one of those times....I have been trying to get people to come to the website, both to follow it and/or to be a participant and it seems that I have been swimming upstream for so long that I have forgotten what it means to just 'go with the flow'. I also just spent a couple of hours working on an email list so I could send out an email announcing our website when all of a sudden I hit the 'Save' button and the website drops me like a rock in a pond! The ripples of emotions at that moment become waves of depression and threaten to overwhelm me! I have to get up from my chair and the only thing I can think of is 'What the .....?' am I doing here? It seems that at every turn I am trying to do something good and am getting NO support and even the flippin computer is working against me - Oh Woe Is Me!!!

Just when I start to doubt all that I am doing my phone rings and someone is calling me to tell me she has decided to jump into this pond with both feet and swim with me. What am I to do now? I am really tired of trying to do all of this on my own and yet...? So now with this phone call, that gives me even more to do because now someone else wants me to help them bring their gift to the world, but didn't I just decide I was tired of this and feeling unappreciated? Somehow the Universe is testing me or am I testing myself? I have heard that God will not ever give you more than you can handle and just when I think I have reached my limit, and I can't or won't handle anymore, here is another 'bone'. Oh - Woe Is Me!

Just at that moment a song comes on my computer (sung by Karen Drucker) with the words "You are the heart, You are the hands, You are the voice of Spirit on Earth, and who you are and all you do, is a blessing to the world". Is this a coincidence - I think NOT - especially since I don't believe in coincidences. Maybe it is and I am just deluding myself, but again, maybe the Universal God is trying to tell me something?

I guess I need to accept that ALL the things that happen - happen for a reason. I am not real sure what the reason is at the moment, but I have decided to keep going a little longer and maybe the full picture will come into view. I am trusting that all will be revealed because it seems that each time I think I have reached my limit, I find my limit has been expanded just enough to continue on. And, as I continue on, my life becomes a little more fulfilling and for that I am filled with gratitude.

Thank You...

Reversal of Cards is one of the, if not the biggest debate about Tarot Cards. Does a card being reversed automatically mean that a good card is now bad and a bad card is now good? Does it mean that the flow of energy coming from the cards is blocked and will no longer be able to finish, or that the energy flow is now less then what it was? Or are the cards reversed because that is the way cards are shuffled, and picked up. Regardless of what you believe it is better to be informed.

All of these questions come down to a couple of things. It depends on the type of deck you are using and if that particular deck gives you a meaning for the card if it is reversed. It also depends on the reader; there are some who use decks that do not have a reversal meaning yet the reader will interpret the card if it reversed.

I personally do not use the reversal in my readings. I believe the cards are able to tell me, and the seeker, what we need to know without having to interpret a card that is reversed, and possibly scare someone. I believe there are enough cards in a Tarot deck already so whatever needs to be said will be said. It is up to you if you do decide to use card reversal during a reading.

To illustrate we will use the death card (as it seems to be a favorite). The death card symbolizes change, the end of something. If you go with a reversal then this would be saying you are at a stand still and you are not going to finish what it is you are trying to finish. This would be ok, except in the Tarot deck there are already cards that are able to tell you that you are at a stand still, I believe a card does not need to be reversed to bring that to light.

If you do want to use reversal just remember you just now doubled the deck you are working with. If you are unsure about reversals the best advice I can give you would be to work without them and let the meanings be just that.

I wish to express my appreciation and gratitude for your willingness to share your time with me. Thank You.

Have you ever heard of RUNES and what they signify? Have you ever been curious about this area of divination? This seems like a good place to share some information with you about RUNES. I will use this forum to introduce you to the "world of RUNES" by giving you a brief bit of background info; and then later, through other articles on this sight, explore what each RUNE represents. I hope you find it interesting and that it will encourage you to dig deeper, ask questions, make comments, and feel compelled to learn more about this fascinating area of metaphysics.
In Divination - regardless of the tools - and in this case, using RUNES, works because in the system one is using the individual Rune represents the whole in some unified way. At the moment of 'random' mixing, because of intent, the Runes order themselves to mirror the reality of the seeker.
Runic divination, "Rune casting", is not "fortune telling". Rune casting works deeply with the subconscious. The Rune pouch with its runic symbols represents the entire universe. As one poses a question, one's entire conscious and unconscious mind is focused toward that question, so that the Rune lots selected are not truly random selections, but rather choices made by the subconscious.
Rune craft operates on an ancient form of psychology. Even back in Viking times, there was a remarkable understanding of the human psyche. They recognized cause and effect, and the interconnectedness of all things. The word to describe this interconnectedness was "wyrd", which was eventually perverted into the modern meaning of "weird". It did not originally mean something unusual or strange. Rather, it referred to the far-reaching effects of that which one does. The concept of "fate" was also not as we know it now. Instead of a helpless predestination, "fate" meant a destiny created by one's earlier actions. Wyrd was pictured as a web, like that of a spider. The symbolism is excellent. When the spider steps onto a thread (a path) the vibrations affect the entire web and that which is contained within the web, just as our actions affect our immediate world and those around us, and the actions of others affect our lives.
When one does a runic reading, one usually addresses a particular issue, and examines the past, the present and the "future", or rather "what will be if one follows the path one appears to be on". The future is always perceived as mutable, and/or changeable. The runic reading is done as an evaluation process, not as a fortune-telling session. One has an opportunity to look at what has occurred in the past (regarding the issue being questioned), what is occurring right now, and what direction one is headed. A Rune Caster does not see the future. He/she examines cause and effect and points out a likely outcome.
It is a methodology for examining the path one is on and what the effects might be, by making use of one's subconscious (i.e. an "intuitive perception"), unfettered by limited conscious belief systems. It is a manifestation of one's subconscious. All "intuitive perception" is such.

Johrei is the practice and process of sharing universal energy for the benefit of all. Johrei was introduced to America in 1953, and Johrei Fellowship centers exist throughout the United States. The impetus for all the activities of the Johrei Fellowship is the inspiration of one man, Mokichi Okada, who was born in Japan on December 23, 1882. In his later life those around him, who recognized his vision for a new civilization and worked to bring it about, called him Meishu-sama which could be translated as "Master of Light."

Mokichi Okada's inspired writings are practical, simple teachings of common sense that offer guidance in order to achieve health, spiritual upliftment and happiness. Johrei has been compared to Reiki, which also had its' beginnings in Japan. They are similar in many ways but Johrei works with the energy of fire while Reiki works with the energy of water. Johrei also takes healings a step further into the understanding that we all can increase our health and happiness by bringing beauty into our lives and eating naturally grown foods.

In his lifetime, Mokichi Okada built and inspired the creation of magnificent art museums, filled with inspirational art pieces that he collected. He believed that all art of a higher inspiration or vibration should be shared with everyone and not just cloistered within the collections of the privileged few. He designed exquisite gardens and structures that he envisioned as prototypes of an ideal community. In addition to the art museums and exquisite gardens, Mokichi Okada started 'Nature Farming' which is now not only being practiced in Japan but all over the world.

Johrei's healing energy is given by a Johrei practitioner directing that energy through the palm of the hand at various parts of the body. There is no 'laying on of hands' as there is in Reiki. Although Johrei can be received where ever you are - you do not have to be within the immediate vicinity of the practitioner - one is encouraged to receive Johrei at a Johrei Center as the vibrational energy is much greater and has a much more profound effect on the receiver.

For more information or if you are interested in receiving Johrei please visit our website at www.fromme2youonline.com.

In March 2006 a film called "The Secret" presented the "Law of Attraction" to the world, sold at a tremendous pace and gained widespread attention from the media with Newsweek, Larry King, Oprah and others discussing the information in their respective outlets. In September 2006 Hay House published a book, "The Law of Attraction" by Esther Hicks (Abraham-Hicks), which reached the New York Times best-seller list.

If you're reading this, I'm confident you've seen the film, read the book and are either working with the 'LAW' or at least attempting to learn the process so you can actually CREATE YOUR DESIRES.

The Secret movie makes it look easy, doesn't it? Abraham does too. So why is it still so HARD to get what you want? Why do most people feel like they're creating a manifestation mountain to climb instead of creating their desires?

You're thinking good thoughts. You have a positive attitude. You're doing all the right things... right?

Maybe not...

Are you trying to make everyone else responsible for your 'reactions' instead of taking responsibility for your 'actions'? Are you holding onto your own power or are you giving it away to whoever pisses you off? Are you taking good care of your physical body and your physical mind? Are you taking good care of your emotional body and your emotional mind? What about your physical heart and your emotional heart?

Laziness, and a lack of focus, has affected us. It's causing a massive problem, since many of us fail to exercise our mind and/or our body. Scientists and many other experts are trying to find the cause of this problem, but they are trying to combat our lack of drive and clear thinking with drugs. Many of us are trying to drown ourselves in liquor and/or food. We believe it does not matter what we drink or eat, because according to The Secret, we are what we believe ourselves to be. So, if you believe you are thin and apply the Law of Attraction, you will be thin. It doesn't work that way! If we desire to be thin we cannot live a healthy life by eating and drinking whatever we want and avoiding exercise and good nutrition, no matter what we tell ourselves. What we are failing to realize is that no matter what the Law of Attraction tells us, if we fail to take care of our body and mind, it will only lead to low self-esteem, lack of confidence, poor health, more bad behaviors, stinkin thinkin, and ultimately the death of our desires.

We must have a balanced diet and exercise to keep the mind and body healthy. When you eat and drink healthy, you keep the body and mind from becoming sluggish and it boosts your self-esteem and confidence. When one keeps the body and brain functioning healthy by accepting responsibility for ones own actions and reactions, the mind will flow with greater ease, new ideas will develop, you will stay focused, your attitude on life will become more real and the laziness we have come to know intimately will begin to fade, thereby reducing stress. Once you reduce the stress you can transform your body and mind to a healthier state. Your mental power and acuteness will skyrocket and you will begin to implement into your daily life, a more realistic idea of your true self-image, not the one you have been pretending to be. Building your true self-image will teach you to trust yourself and your decisions and you will begin to feel better about the choices you make.

You will begin to feel energized and motivated - you will be ready to face the many challenges and problems that you previously encountered while thriving on stress. Your lethargy or laziness is replaced with a new sense of self-worth and a more realistic self-image. You will bring personal transformation into focus and you will begin to look at yourself and others in a different light.

We have the power to transform our life overnight but it is not realistic to think that we can do this. Changing your way of life requires a huge and uncompromising commitment.
Once you start working towards better physical and mental health, you will find that your confidence and self-esteem are strengthened by your personal accomplishments.

The Law Of Attraction Is NOT Easy! The Law of Attraction does work but it takes some practice and the same uncompromising commitment you just made to yourself. There is definitely a learning curve to all of this manifestation business!

You see The Secret, and Abraham have only given you part of the formula to conscious creation. Don't get me wrong. The mainstream attention of the Law of Attraction has certainly raised conscious awareness, but it was just a taste, a kind of "LOA 101" and for those of us that are hungry to move to the next level may find there is little information available. My years of searching and study turned out to be a long, hard road, and I have had several ideas that did not work out the way I thought they should or would, but I believe I have finally put all the pieces of the puzzle together. Still, it has taken me years to learn, so if you're caught up in day-to-day living (survival) and are limited in the time you can devote to self-empowerment then come visit my blog often as it is devoted to helping all of us learn how to make The Law of Attraction work for us on a daily basis.

So many times I compare my garden to my life. Where do I want to put my garden? Where is my life going to go? My garden can be hilly, rocky, smooth, wet, dry, hot, cold and all those adjectives apply to my life as well. What I plant in my garden can also have the same outcomes as what I grow in my life. Do you plant things the deer will eat as soon as they are planted? Do you plant delectibles for bees and hummingbirds? Will they flower or are they just ornamental? These are all things to consider when doing your plantings as well as what is best for your life. Does feeding your 'dear' benefit you? Does attracting buzzing bees and whirring hummingbirds make you feel closer to nature and Mother Earth? Things you might want to look at and feel before expending all the energy that will be required to maintain a healthy relationship between you and your garden.

Just another thought From Me 2 You Online.
