Sunshine month takes me away

Sunshine month takes me away

We’re all going on a summer holiday
As I write this blog, the lads are loading the car, checking the oil and water in the engine. All I have to do now is to finish this, press send and then, as is my habit, check that the water bottles are full, back the car out of the drive and head for the horizon and the rising Sun. I love that feeling, the freedom of the open road and the wonder of not knowing what is around the next bend. I have Canned Heat playing in my head ‘...I’m on the road again’; it brings back so many good memories.

The dawn is such a magical time in all senses of the word. We use the image of the dawn to describe newness, breakthroughs, and new horizons: the dawn of the technical age, the dawn of the industrial society, the dawn of understanding. I see clients every day who experience that sense of coming into the light when, perhaps, for the first time in their lives, they can see things with a hitherto unknown clarity, as the truth dawns on them for the first time.

The person who is awake is always learning
In Ayurveda, my original training, it is acknowledged that the purpose of life is about learning, and that our body’s senses, mind and emotions are all designed to enable this to happen. Learning is a life-long process, though people may stop learning and growing at any age. Some people will cease development while in their childhood and may exhibit the emotional maturity of a seven-year old when they are seventy. However, the reverse may also be true, so that a seven-year old may possess the wisdom of a seventy-year old.

What is dawning on you?
If you are a growing, waking person, and I guess you are or you would not be reading this, there will be dreams, challenges and developments going on in your life that will represent new dawnings of understanding for you. I think about this a lot and review where I am up to. I use the contemplation part of my meditation sessions to do this, so dawnings are...

Time waits for no man
I often heard this one, but it is dawning on me that time passes quickly and it is easy to procrastinate; there are things that I want to do before I turn up my toes. I was reading something by Jack Canfield that suggested writing down the one hundred things you would like to do before you die. That got me thinking, so I have set myself some goals.

Things to be done

My top five are...
 
1) To develop my life and my relationships in such a way that they benefit not only me, but all those that I interact with, especially with my Rie.
 
2) To develop the courses so that I have at least one thousand people a year doing the Ten Steps Program
 
3) To get all the books written that I have in my head
 
4) To record more music albums and maybe do some performing
 
5) To create a purpose-built environmentally-friendly building that is used as a centre of learning, therapy and respite for those on the path of self-development
 
It dawned on me many years ago that the only way to achieve these things is to be focussed on the task and to be consistent and persistent in all that I do to achieve my aims.

What are your five?

You may be able to go for the hundred, though five is a good start. What are the things that it is dawning on you that need to be done? It is time to get them done. Try not to put off till tomorrow what you need to get done today.

Hey ho and away I go
But task number one is to go and enjoy my holiday. Tomorrow, I will wake in Lille France and then heading down through Belgium, Luxemburg and Switzerland to stay in Basil. Then the Italian lakes for a while and then back up through Mont Blanc and Dijon. Watch the site and I’ll keep you posted on progress and try and use this wonderful technology to post some pics on the site.

So pop by Wednesday and have a wonderful week.

Further lessons in positivity

Posted on Friday, June 19, 2009 0 comments so far


So, how good did you tell it?


Since Monday, you have been wandering along the path that is your life.  This week you will either have been travelling with your head cast down looking at the mud and dirt, or with your head held high, looking at the clear blue sky.  If you have been doing our work since Monday, you will have been asking yourself, at regular intervals, to consider something good.  Like any other skill, the more you do this, the better you do at it. If you have been practising the dark arts and looking down, you will have been developing the skills of negativity.  Remember, to get good at something all you need to do is practise how you feel, what you do and what you think.  You become what you think about, you become what it is that you focus upon.



Skill development only requires a persistent, consistent commitment through action.  The universe does not care if you are developing a positive or negative focus; the more you do, whatever you do, the better you will become at it.  So if you want to be a negative, moaning, miserable soul, all you need to do is practise by thinking, feeling and doing.  With consistent and persistent practice, you can become the most miserable person alive.

Alternatively, you could use your knowledge of how the mind works to create some wonderful things in your life.  You could begin today, right now, focusing on what is good in your life.  You might extend that to focusing on what good things you would like to happen next and in so doing, create a wonderful world of expectation around you.  If you are consistent and persistent, you can become the most positive and happy person alive.

This is not naive wishful thinking, it is factual and the easiest way to prove it to yourself is to try it.  Let this be your experiment for the weekend.  Only focus on the positive.  If you hear a negative word or statement come out of your mouth, reframe it and say the opposite.  If you have a negative thought or feeling, reframe it and repeat the opposite.  If you do this consistently and persistently, your experience and your life will change, guaranteed.

Because you have been tuning into the positive, by Monday you will be able to write down a list of all the positive things that were good about the weekend.

See you Monday. Have a wonderful weekend.

Happiness and negativity: your choice

Happiness and negativity: your choice

I hope you are getting the idea about how good Monday is.  But then if you are really in tune with the Law of Attraction, you will have realised how good is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Every day of your life, from the first time you breathed in to the last time you breathe out, is special.  The question is: what have you, do you and will you, do with all the days of your life?

Imagine that every day someone gave you a gift of twenty pounds, what would you do with it?  Well, it goes something like this: some people would rush out and squander it and waste it; some would spend it all on other people and give it away; some would put it in a tin under the bed where it would, over time, grow less in value at whatever rate inflation is running at; some would invest it wisely in projects and enterprises that would allow it to grow.  I am sure you can think of many more alternatives.

The point is that the energy of money is really no different to the energy of life.  Each day when you wake, you are given the gift of life; what do you do with it, how do you spend it?  Life is magical and you are the magician, but to release your magic, you have to take out your wand; you need to take control of your life.  This is the image used when the young Arthur pulls the sword from the stone and becomes King Arthur; he claims his life and starts to live it.  The cartoonist used the same idea in He-man, who pulled out his sword and shouted ‘by the power Grey Skull, I have the power!

You have the power as well.  Every day in every way, you have a choice as to how you spend this wonderful gift of life that is yours.  How lucky are you?  If you spend it wisely, you will grow in all that is good and your sense of happiness and well-being will increase.

I have a story to tell you.  It is a story of nurture and the effects of negativity.

Many years ago when I was a young student, my teacher sent myself and my sister in the community, Barbara, to plant cauliflower seeds.  It was a hot, sunny day and we went out together, talking about the task we had been set.  Barbara was a loving soul who did not have a negative or cynical bone in her body.   I was young, tarnished by life and of a negative frame of mind.  Barbara was telling me that if we planted the seeds with love they would grow better.  We split the plot into two sections, she planting one side and me the other.  Every time she planted a seed, Barbara was smiling and in a sing-song voice saying, ‘Lovely little seed, I love you, please put your head up into the sunshine and grow big and strong’.  Her simple feelings of love and happiness were beginning to get up my cynical nose.  I started saying to my seeds, ‘Ok you little bastards, when you grow I’m going to cut your heads off and stick them in boiling water’.

The outcome was that when the caulis finally grew, all Barbara’s plants germinated and were strong and robust, rich and luscious.  Very few of mine germinated, and those that did were weak and spindly.  Same seeds, same land, same day, same water.  The only difference was the energy that we each put into the planting.  She planted with love, while I planted with cynical negativity.

The lesson for me is that the idea of having ‘green fingers’ is real and I now know why some people make good gardeners.   If I extend that idea to what quantum physic tells us about energy, then I also have the power to nurture myself and those around me so that we all grow strong, robust, rich and luscious.  The fertilizer required is simply positive energy, expectation and love.   That is not wishful thinking, that is intentional action.

Every day, plant the seeds of your life in fertile soil and water them with love, and then watch them grow and enjoy it.
Love you all
