PONDER on THIS for Thursday, January 26th, 2012 by Sanaya Roman in PERSONAL POWER THROUGH AWARENESS

Posted on January 26, 2012 by jmaz479

“When you begin to notice situations that are undervaluing you, or demanding too much from you, clear the negative energy. First, remain straight and strong and centered in your body; do not lean forward or backward. When you are with people who drain you, learn to put your feelings into words, even if just to yourself.

Putting your feelings into words is very powerful in cleansing other people’s energy from your space. Do not express anger to other people, but do get it out of your system. Say it to a tape recorder, or to a video camera, or write it down. Any process that brings it out of your body is a process of healing and cleansing yourself of the energy you have taken on from other people.”

Sanaya Roman, in “Personal Power through Awareness”

PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, January 25th, 2011 by Dr. Eric Kaplan in THE 5 MINUTE MOTIVATOR

Posted on January 25, 2012 by jmaz479

“We were not born walking and talking. The first time we walked, we fell. The first words we uttered, we stuttered. The first time we read, added, multiplied, divided, shot a basket, or swung a bat or a golf club, we met with some degree of failure. Yet, we persisted. Remember how awkward your first date was? I’ll bet it wasn’t your last date. Life is a culmination of learning experiences based entirely on obstacles and failures. Remember, it’s the rocks in the stream that give the river its music.

There was once a little boy who armed himself with a bat and ball and went out to play. He began by throwing the ball up in the air and trying to hit it as it came down. However, with every toss came a strike. Time and time again he threw the ball in the air attempting to hit it. After an hour of futility, the boy picked up the ball and said, “Boy, am I a good pitcher.”

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, January 24th, 2012 by Wayne W. Dyer in THERE’S A SPIRITUAL SOLUTION TO EVERY PROBLEM

Posted on January 24, 2012 by jmaz479

“Use your thoughts to keep your energy on healing rather than disease. It is pretty common to place energy on what is wrong and what you don’t want. Thoughts such as, “This cold is going to get worse,” “There is nothing you can do, it’s the flu season and it’s going around,” “You have to get worse before it will get any better,” are all ideas that will help you to manifest what you don’t want. A brief reminder here: you act on your thoughts, and this goes for your body and the bodies of those around you. If your thoughts are on what you don’t want (disease) you will act upon those thoughts and manifest more of what you don’t want.

Anytime you enter an energy field of injury or disease remind yourself that you are bringing the radiant energy of spirit to that space. Stay focused on that faster energy, make an effort to radiate it outward and in a surrounding fashion, never buying into the lower energy of disease.”

Wayne W. Dyer, in “There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem”

“Never believe everything you hear. No matter who says it. Truth can only live in hearts and minds that are free. Dogmatic belief and fanatical adherence to official pronouncements – whether religious or supposedly scientific – have done immeasurable harm throughout history. Keep your own counsel. Study everything that comes to your attention with an open mind. When misconceptions and wrong assumptions are removed, reality shines forth like the sun between the clouds.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, January 19th, 2012 by Alan Cohen in WHY YOUR LIFE SUCKS AND WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT

Posted on January 19, 2012 by jmaz479

“In the film Out of Africa, pioneer Karen Blixen confesses, “My biggest fear was that I would come to the end of my life and realize I had lived someone else’s dream.”…Many people have all kinds of ideas about how you should be living, but they do not matter unless they match your vision for yourself. Well-intentioned as others may be, no one knows your heart and destiny as well as you do.

The disease to please is a prevalent one. It shows up in the son who plays out his parents’ hopes for the childhood they never had; the daughter who marries within the faith although she loves another; the wife who dares not defy her husband’s wishes; the teenager anxiously striving to fit in with peers; the employee sweating to win the favor of his boss; religious adherents trying to be so good so God will not send them to hell. But they are already in hell. If you deny your truth to fit into another’s, you will find yourself there too.”

Posted on January 18, 2012 by jmaz479

“If you want to flow down the eternal river of perception toward your Infinite Self, you’ve got to let go of the branch you’re hanging on to and let the river take you. That means facing your insecurities and fears and really looking at yourself. Sometimes that can be a bit painful because what you see is piles and piles of caca – loads of it. And you say to yourself, “My God, I’m grim. I’m totally assoholic. I need to join Assoholics Anonymous. I am so assoholic it’s painful.” Then, once you can observe how assoholic you are, love yourself. Look in the mirror and say, “Man, this is one of the world’s greatest idiots, but I love him, I love her, and I’m going to change them.”

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, January 17th, 2012 by Marianne Williamson in EVERYDAY GRACE

Posted on January 17, 2012 by jmaz479

“Most of us wouldn’t think about beginning our day without washing the accumulated dirt from the day before off our bodies. Yet far too often we go out into the day without similarly cleansing our minds. And our minds carry more pollution than our bodies, for they carry not only our own toxicity, but that of the entire world. We carry the fear, anxiety, stress, and pain not just of our own lives, but of our families, our nation, and millions all over the planet.

Our greatest weakness is the weakness of an undisciplined mind. We need not let fear steal the morning; we can consciously choose not to allow our minds to be programmed by the worldly viewpoint that dominates the earth. We can set our day upon another course. Each of us has an inner room where we can visit to be cleansed of fear-based thoughts and feelings. This room, the holy of holies, is a sanctuary of spiritual light. The light is not a metaphor, but rather an actual energy of mystical vibration. When we begin our morning within it, the mind receives a radiance that illumines our thinking as we go through our day.”

Marianne Williamson in “Everyday Grace”

“My heart goes out to people who are working hard to release their negative attitudes and painful memories. “Just tell me how, and I’ll do it,” they say to me. We are forever looking for the easy meditation, the easy exercise, that will lift us out of the fog, but consciousness doesn’t work that way. Ironically, there is a simple way out, only it’s not easy: Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness.”

“Can you see all the judgments that you have about yourself? Every judgment is just an opinion – it’s just a point of view – and that point of view wasn’t there when you were born. Everything you think about yourself, everything you believe about yourself, is because you learned it. You learned the opinions from Mom, Dad, siblings, and society. They sent all those images of how a body should look; they expressed all those opinions about the way you are, the way you are not, the way you should be. They delivered a message, and you agreed with that message. And now you think so many things about what you are, but are they the truth?”

Posted on January 10, 2012 by jmaz479

“The truth is the past is nothing more than a memory, and it has no real existence other than what we project on it. We benefit greatly when we no longer treat the past as a determiner of our present our future. This doesn’t mean forgetting your past – the past provides wisdom that can help prevent needless pain and suffering – but it does mean letting go of the painful aspects and struggles of the past. You can begin this process of release by tuning into any uncomfortable feelings the past is creating in the present and stating an affirmation, such as, “I release and let go of the painful feelings I am feeling about my past.”

Posted on January 5, 2012 by jmaz479

“Figure out who you really want to be, what you really want to do with your life, and what you truly desire and begin to act “as if” these qualities already exist in your life. Act your way into your desired life. The results will certainly amaze you. If you want to run the company you’re working for, dress the part, act the part, and visualize the part. It may sound rather odd to you but many men and women who have achieved enormous success have productively applied this strategy. Try it, if it does not work toss it out. Remember, action is what we are judged by, and from thoughts and beliefs come action. Think, believe, then act according to what and who you aspire to become.”
