Are you Opened or Closed – Chris Cade

Here’s a quick and simple “test” to see how open you are in a given moment:
Is your body physically more open or closed?
For example …
- Are your arms crossed? Is your body hunched or curled over?

You are probably feeling defensive and closed.
- Are your arms outstretched or facing upwards? Is your body upright?

These are more open and welcoming postures.

“Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.” – Chinese Proverb

The other thing to consider is how your body feels in a given moment. When life is going your way, when it’s smooth and flowing, you typically feel relaxed. It’s your natural state.

On the other hand, when life is tough and there’s challenges, usually you’ll feel tense and constricted. This is a sign that you’re not aligned with your True Nature.
Same is true of your body. When it’s tense, that’s a sign that it’s out of balance and not as “open” to the world. When you feel relaxed, there’s an inherent openness that welcomes all of the world into your experience.
As always though, don’t take my word for this. Try it out. :)

Notice what you’re thinking and feeling when you cross your arms or certain muscles in your body feel tense. Similarly, when you feel totally relaxed and at ease, notice what your body posture looks like.

Forcing the Issue – Chris Cade

by Chris Cade

As you know, I have a passion for rapid personal growth. Since most of us transform our lives relatively slowly (if at all), there’s a real benefit to knowing how to make transformations quickly. Since we have a limited time on Earth then it serves us to know how to optimize our lives.

This doesn’t mean that it’s in our best interests to always be pushing ourselves to be faster, better, and more. That’s not what I’m suggesting. What I am suggesting is that if life is our schoolroom, how can we make the most effective use of that experience? How can we allow life to serve us as fully as possible?

One way is to “force the issue.”
Or to phrase it differently: We can enter into situations in which a learning experience with growth is the inevitable, eventual, and guaranteed outcome of a particular experience.
We could go into those situations both willingly and unwillingly. For example, we experience this during times of extreme duress when our preferred outer-world options are limited or even eliminated. It could come in the form of being fired from work, the death of a loved one or a relationship that ends, an unexpectedly severe and debilitating illness, or any other number of unwanted yet extreme situations.
These “force” us to choose either a path of growth or a path of destruction. We’ll learn from both directions. That’s inevitable. It’s eventual. And growth is a guaranteed outcome. It may not be growth as we think of it in a “positive” sense. Destruction might cause us to go into a place so dark that whatever we learn is pushed down into our subconscious. Still, learning happens through every experience. The more extreme the experience, the more severe it is, the greater the growth.
Ideally as we live a more conscious life, the path of destruction fades away and growth comes to the forefront. Rather than curl up into a ball and wait for the metaphorical pounding to stop, we can stand up and step forward. This is not easy. It takes a lot of courage, willpower, and strength. It takes dedication to your growth. And it is incredibly rewarding.

On the other hand, what if you don’t have to wait for life to hand you those situations? What if you could create them yourselves?

You can. One way is to limit your options. This is a way to “force the issue” in your daily life. Here’s a few examples…
Eating healthier: Throw away all your unhealthy food. Buy healthy food.
Breaking an addiction: Get rid of what you’re addicted to. Lock it up. Hide it. Do anything you can to make it incredibly difficult to access.
Starting a new business: Quit your job.
Getting some rest and relaxation: Tell your employer (and anybody else necessary) you’re taking a day or few off. Continue reading “Forcing the Issue – Chris Cade” »

How Our Subconscious Works In A Nutshell – Greg Frost

Feb 19th, 2012

By Greg Frost

The human mind can be separated into the conscious and the
subconscious mind. Only a small minority has ever managed to tap
into the subconscious mind, understand and utilize its power fully.
Because the subconscious mind never needs to rest, it is boundless
and unlimited in its ability to bring you success. However, if you
do not utilize it, it will be left to atrophy. Everyone has
tremendous mental capacity; it is up to you to make the most of it.

If you leave it, your subconscious mind will be like a garden that
is unattended – the weeds will take over. Use affirmations to your
advantage at the optimum times when your subconscious mind is
listening.

Be the person you admire

Make a list of the attributes you most admire in others and
incorporate these into your own life-one by one. When you surround
yourself with positive images or sounds, your subconscious mind
will imprint those images or record those sounds in your head. I’m
not talking about your conscious mind, but rather the subconscious.
Your subconscious mind is lying there dormant within you, just
waiting for you to tap into its power.

The Conscious Mind

The conscious mind is the one that you are perhaps more aware of.
It is the one you use to make decisions, choices and conclusions,
or to put forward logical arguments and sound deductions. In order
to succeed in life and get ahead of the competition, you would be
well aided by the ability to use your mind more fully. This
involves engaging the subconscious mind.

The Subconscious Mind

The subconscious mind takes instructions from the conscious mind
without questioning, and takes action to achieve the directions
through constant repetition and affirmations. It has one main
purpose: to achieve the goals that you set with your conscious
mind. Without such goals, it will not be called into function, and
will simply be a dormant power left untouched.

This is an important thing to take note of, because the
subconscious never acts on its own without direction. It is unable
to reason, and simply accepts all the information that you feed it
because it is unable to distinguish between what is reality and
what is not. One of the best ways to affect it is by surrounding
yourself with positive affirmations and convictions that will move
you towards your goals. Negative information and environments do
the opposite, and it is best to eliminate them.

Be the Person You Want to Be

Your subconscious mind never rests, even when you are sleeping. You
can be the person you want to be by tapping into this power. Make a
list of the characteristics and attributes you wish to achieve, and
slowly integrate it into your life. There are many techniques for
engaging the power of the subconscious mind, by making the
conscious direction to keep it clear and without negative
affirmations. A negative affirmation will result in your own
self-destruction, as the subconscious acts on achieving the
affirmations that you set it out to.

When you learn how to utilize and control the power of your mind,
greatness is attainable. In order to be a winner, you must first
think like a winner, and leave the rest to your subconscious mind
to achieve.

The positive cycle of forgiveness

from sparkpeople.com

OK, be honest. Do you hold grudges? Do you allow old drama to determine your behavior? Is there someone you just can’t seem to forgive? Grudges and a non-forgiving attitude do nothing but harm both parties. You might feel like you’re “winning” by not letting someone off the hook, but you’re only increasing your own worry and stress. Bitterness can lead to hate, which can sour a life. Today, write a letter explaining your point of view to the person you feel resentful towards. Clear the air; forgiving him. Even if you don’t send it, it is an excellent way to relieve tension. Forgiving someone does not absolve them of the wrong that you experienced. It can simply free you to live a life that isn’t anchored to the hurt and resentment of past events.

What wealth do you possess?

There is a long-standing tradition for Buddhist monks to rise each morning very early and set out to collect alms bowls, and go out into their community to collect donations of food, usually merely rice or a simple curry. Surprisingly though, none of this food is eaten, as the monks are typically well-stocked at their monastery. Why? This age-old tradition is still in existence simply to allow the nearby townspeople to experience the joy of giving. Do you have resources or talent that you can use to help others? Hoarding what you have wastes opportunities and fails to leave a positive mark on the world. Whether you have money, talent, time, knowledge, or energy, each should be shared. No one is better off by keeping wealth–tangible or intangible–to himself or herself.

Love Yourself – From Chris Cade

Every once in a while, the Universe does something awesome – right now, right this second was one of those awesome things.   This morning I posted a blog post about the importance of being a friend to yourself and loving yourself. Just a few minutes ago in an email, I received this from Chris Cade.  Talk about synchronicity!

A couple of days ago was Valentine’s Day. All across the world, people experienced a variety of emotions. Though there’s three primary ones I’ve noticed seem to be most common:

(1) A deep affection and love (usually towards others)

It seems that by giving ourselves a “reason” to love, it activates that part of ourselves that finds reasons to experience, express, and share our love.

This is not unlike a sentimental photo that reminds us of a past moment we cherished. “Valentine’s Day” can act as a symbol to look inward and live more fully outward.

(2) Indifference

For me, most Valentine’s Days pass with irrelevance. Every day is an opportunity to experience, express, and share love. Rather than having to “find” a reason, I focus on removing the inner blocks so I naturally experience those reasons more frequently. with each passing day.

(3) Anger, depression, sadness, aloneness, etc.

For those of us who feel most separate from others, the love we see others express reminds us of the ways in which we don’t fully love ourselves. This pain of not loving ourselves can sometimes even feel like a physical “hole.” What

When I think of how to express and share more love in the world, what comes to mind first for me is this timeless spiritual principle:

“You cannot give what you don’t already have.”

Don’t have a dollar? Surely can’t give one. Same with love. If you don’t feel it for yourself, it’s impossible to authentically express and share love with others.

That’s why LOVING YOURSELF is so important. Once you fully love yourself, only then can you step into the world as a more full expression of love.

And no matter how much you may love yourself, there’s always more ways you can explore that more fully.

Today I have a present for you. It’s a PDF mini-program called “Loving Yourself” and you can download it directly from my website here:

In it, you’re guaranteed to find either a few new things to try, or reminders to live what you already know to be true. Check it out… :)

Your Chance to Pay it Forward

Shining your light on a friend’s shade

You can’t turn on a country music station without hearing a song about someone down on their luck. But what about those around you? Think about how much it means to you to receive a note in the mail from a caring friend when you’re going through a hard time. Use those warm feelings to compel you to spread the love to others. We all need such encouragement and often we forget that it’s okay not to be the pillar of strength when life has us by the tail. Throw your arms around someone today who might need a good squeeze, send a card to a co-worker who needs cheering up, or bake a special treat for your ill child. Friends are precious, not just in the sunshine of life, but especially in the shade.

Stop Begging! Start Manifesting!

by Brian Wong

Do you remember that first spark of hope you felt when you watched
The Secret? I clearly remember the desire that filled my heart,
knowing that – Yes, I can make my dreams come true – FINALLY!

But how many of you soon saw that hope dwindle into frustration?
How many of you (and be honest now) started muttering things like:

- “It seems to work for other people, but I just can’t get it
right.”

- “I’m frustrated that sometimes I can get it to work, but
sometimes I can’t. What’s the trick?”

- “Why am I having so much trouble?”

- “I think the universe is against me.”

- “I’m trying very, VERY hard but still nothing is happening!”

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. About 97% of people also couldn’t
make the Law of Attraction work for them the first time round.
Think about it, just like anything else, you have to practice many
times before you see success. A child doesn’t learn to walk without
falling over a couple of times, right?

But in practice, everything is easier said and done. When you’re
frustrated, it’s hard to stay positive. And it’s especially harder
to stay positive when the evidence all around you is screams
negativity like the unstable economy or senseless acts of violence
such as those recently seen in Mumbai.

And do you know what happens when you fail to stay positive? That’s
right – you start attracting negative things in to your life.

So how can you make the Law of Attraction work for you – without
getting frustrated? How do those who successfully implement the Law
of Attraction do it with such confidence and finesse?

Well, here’s three quick tips so you will never feel frustrated or
tired of begging from the universe, because you know how to start
manifesting like a pro.

1. Allow Yourself To Receive

Just like a lost child who approaches a police officer and asks,
“Excuse me Sir, can you tell me how to go to the post office? Can
you? Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you?” Well, if the child goes
on and on asking, the police officer can’t even give an answer,
right?

Small steps that lead us to achievement

There are natural consequences that accompany every choice we make in life. Some opportunities inevitably pass us by, but we can take advantage of others. Many people feel powerless, but this is rarely the case–some opportunities just require a little thinking outside the box. Today, reflect on the doors you are opening in your world and which ones are closing. You have the power to create the life you want if you are willing to set goals and take steps toward them. Rarely does fulfilling our hopes and dreams happen overnight, but you can take one tiny move towards them each day.
