			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> While working with one of my healing clients, an idea came to me to help better explain how the principle of, as Abraham advises, &#8220;reaching for better feeling thoughts&#8221;, actually gets us where we want to go. The analogy I saw in my vision is of a tree. If you think of a tree, you see a strong, sturdy trunk with many branches evolving into even more branches and finally ending in either leaves, flowers or fruit. </p>
<p> The way this was shown to me, the trunk represents your core belief; in this case, your belief in your happiness and your ability to give yourself happiness and feel good. The stronger that belief, the larger the trunk of the tree. Obviously, if your belief is not that strong, then the trunk of your &#8216;tree of good feeling&#8217; will be correspondingly small and slight. Now even with a small tree, you can still find your way to happiness, but it won&#8217;t be as plentiful as with a big tree, and you won&#8217;t feel it as intensely and abundantly. </p>
<p> What you want to do is to get your level of belief in yourself and your happiness so strong, that you have a continuously larger and larger trunk. When this happens, you will have more and more branches. Each branch representing another circumstance of your happiness. One branch is your job, lets say, and each successive branching off this main branch shows you the different types of good feelings you get from your job. There&#8217;s the &#8220;I like my job&#8221; branch, then the &#8220;I like and enjoy my co-workers&#8221; branch, and so on. You get the idea. </p>
<p><center><div id="attachment_882" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img src="http://tolemac.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/tree-clipart-4-300x259.jpg" alt="Tree of Good Feeling" title="Tree of Good Feeling" width="300" height="259" class="size-medium wp-image-882" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tree of Good Feeling</p></div></center></p>
<p> By looking at the separate, yet combined and attached, branches of each aspect of your life, you can begin to see how you can create new branches of happiness at will, by looking where each branch takes you and adding on new branches as you find the new happiness there. I see this as a great way of showing yourself the abundance of happiness you actually <em>do</em> have in your life, and by looking at it in this way, you then bring in even more happiness in all ways.  </p>
<p> You can use this imagery for any aspect of your life to see how abundant that aspect is. Use it to see how much love is in your life at this moment, and how much peace, and joy, and well-being, and prosperity. Anything and everything can be applied to this process and you&#8217;ll get immediate understanding of where you are at with each of them. May your Tree be evergreen in all ways. =)</p>
<p>Bright Blessings,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s another idea for a new type of affirmation that I came up with a couple of days ago and completely fell in love with the concept.</p>
<p>What you are wanting to do here is to remember that you are one with Divine Source Energy. Because you are one with all that is, and as an aspect of Source, you have the abilities of Divine Source Energy as well.  With that in mind, here are some examples of how to use this knowing in an affirmation:</p>
<p>Because Divine Source Energy only knows love,<br />
<strong><em>I</em></strong> only know love.</p>
<p>Because Divine Source Energy only knows happiness,<br />
<strong><em>I</em></strong> only know happiness.</p>
<p>Because Divine Source Energy only knows peace,<br />
<strong><em>I</em></strong> only know peace.</p>
<p>Because Divine Source Energy only knows complete health,<br />
<strong><em>I</em></strong> only know complete health.</p>
<p>Because Divine Source Energy only knows joy and freedom,<br />
<strong><em>I</em></strong> only know joy and freedom.</p>
<p>Because Divine Source Energy only knows prosperity and abundance on all levels,<br />
<strong><em>I</em></strong> only know prosperity and abundance on all levels.</p>
<p>Because Divine Source Energy only knows vibrational alignment with its desires,<br />
<strong><em>I</em></strong> only know vibrational alignment with my desires.</p>
<p>Now add your own and really play with this. I have dozens and dozens so far, and more on the way as I think of new ones to say every day. The more you say these types of affirmations, either out loud or to yourself, the more you will begin to really feel them working. The ones I have listed are examples, and I listed them as they came to me. If they work for you, great! If not, then change the wording and the structure to suit what feels best to you.  </p>
<p>Combine these with the <a href="http://tolemac.net/blog/2010/04/14/morning-affirmations/">Morning Affirmations</a> I posted the other day, and the <a href="http://tolemac.net/blog/personalized-affirmations-just-for-you/">Personalized Affirmation</a> sets and you are giving yourself a real boost of energy and positive thought. As always, make sure you&#8217;re <a href="http://tolemac.net/blog/2008/11/20/staying-grounded-during-times-of-crisis/">grounded</a> first, so that the affirmations can have a fuller effect. =)</p>
<p>Bright Blessings!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> I&#8217;d like to give you an easy and straightforward process that you can do every morning. What this does is begin to set the energy of the day, and set your personal energy, to a higher vibration. Many people don&#8217;t realize how they are affecting themselves and their day by simply hitting the alarm, rolling out of the nice warm bed, and going to the bathroom, or making coffee, or whatever, before they are even in their bodies and fully awake. </p>
<p> This leads to the morning getting off to a rather chaotic start, where you do something hilarious like brushing your teeth with some ointment instead of the tooth paste, yet millions do this very thing every single day. I want to show you how to simply and easily change that habit into one that will serve you better and have you feeling better throughout the day. If you&#8217;ve been a regular reader of my site here, then you know that the first thing I recommend for anyone, at any time, is to get <a href="http://tolemac.net/blog/2008/11/20/staying-grounded-during-times-of-crisis/">grounded</a>. Using the grounding techniques when you first wake up get you back into your body fully and completely, and get you back into the center of your head, where you need to be to function properly. Now let&#8217;s talk about affirmations.</p>
<h3>Your Words Have Power</h3>
<p> The whole idea behind using any affirmation is three-fold. The first step is to begin to get the positive statements into your head, both on a conscious and subconscious level.  This starts getting you used to saying positive messages about yourself which breaks up the habit of saying negative messages about yourself. This, in turn, will help you to be aware of when you <em>do</em> have negative internal thoughts. Then, you&#8217;ll be able to catch those negative thoughts and turn them into positive ones.</p>
<p> The second step is to allow the affirmations to activate the feelings each one invokes in you. When I say &#8220;your words have power&#8221;, that&#8217;s not an idle esoteric bemusing. It&#8217;s the truth. Why do your words have power? Because we assign &#8216;emotion&#8217; to each and every one of them. Now, the emotion may not be very big, say for a &#8220;common&#8221; word such as &#8220;and&#8221;, but there is still some emotional content there. Of course, for the words that have deep meaning, significance and relevance to our lives, the emotional content is huge! This is one of the reasons why one affirmation doesn&#8217;t work for everyone. We all have different levels of emotion and energy infused with each word or statement. What may have tremendous impact on you, may have little to no impact on me. </p>
<p> The third step is to allow the positive emotion that comes up from the affirmation to change your energy and vibration. You see, the idea is not to just say the affirmations &#8220;by rote&#8221; like you did in school, but to actually feel the emotional and energetic shift that takes place when you say them. When you are fully conscious and aware of that energy shift, you feel the good emotions even more. By having your attention and focus on allowing those better feeling thoughts and emotions, you become more in control of you. You are now deliberately creating how you feel. </p>
<h3>I Choose How I Feel</h3>
<p> Once you accept that fact, that you choose how you feel, you will begin to see how you&#8217;ve allowed your emotions to have their way with you, as it were, since forever. Very few of us are taught these things when we&#8217;re young and can use them to gift ourselves an amazing emotional life. I wasn&#8217;t taught this until I hit 30, so there was a lot of releasing of old patterns that had to take place, but the more I did these types of processes, the faster I was able to let go and be in charge of myself and allow myself to feel good. That is the whole point here, to feel better. </p>
<p> By deliberately and consciously choosing to feel better, no matter what may appear to be going on around you, you are actively deciding how your life is in the moment, and will be in the following moments. <a href="http://www.abraham-hicks.com/lawofattractionsource/index.php">Abraham</a> calls this being in the &#8220;Vortex&#8221;. This simply means that you are in alignment with your self, fully and completely and it feels really good when you do. Using the Morning Affirmation process is a great step in getting you there on a regular basis. </p>
<h3>The Process</h3>
<p> So, the clock has just gone off. Instead of bolting out of bed, keep your eyes closed and ground yourself. Be in the center of your head. Breathe easily. Now, begin to say, either out loud or to yourself, any or all of the following affirmations:</p>
<ul>
<li>I give thanks and gratitude for the love that flows to me, through me and from me.</li>
<li>I give thanks and gratitude for the joy that flows to me, through me and from me.</li>
<li>I give thanks and gratitude for the peace that flows to me, through me and from me.</li>
<li>I give thanks and gratitude for the appreciation that flows to me, through me and from me.</li>
<li>I give thanks and gratitude for the healing that flows to me, through me and from me.</li>
<li>I give thanks and gratitude for the positivity that flows to me, through me and from me.</li>
<li>I give thanks and gratitude for the prosperity that flows to me, through me and from me.</li>
<li>I give thanks and gratitude for the wealth that flows to me, through me and from me.</li>
<li>I give thanks and gratitude for the generosity that flows to me, through me and from me.</li>
<li>I give thanks and gratitude for the blessings that flow to me, through me and from me.</li>
<li>I give thanks and gratitude for the love that flows to me, through me and from me.</li>
</ul>
<p> My current favorite affirmation that I say throughout the day, but most definitely first thing in the morning before I get up, really helps set the energy for the rest of the day:</p>
<li>I give thanks for this wonderful day. Miracle will follow miracle and my life is filled with love and wonders and joy and prosperity.</li>
<p> In just 5 minutes, you&#8217;ve completely changed your emotions, your energy and your mental outlook. Now you are in control of who you are and what you are becoming. In keeping with that idea, I highly suggest that you use an alarm clock that has a music option, instead of the typical buzzers and ringers. With music waking you up, you are much more relaxed and not in that immediate &#8220;WAKE UP!&#8221; mode the buzzers put you in. Your body will thank you for not having to deal with the adrenaline rush every morning.</p>
<p> One other thing to note here, you don&#8217;t have to use these exact affirmations. Change the words, or the entire structure, to suit you. As long as the affirmations you do use have meaning for you and feel powerful to you is all that matters. Just do this every morning, and repeat them throughout the day if that feels good to do, and you&#8217;ll notice the change in the first two weeks. You&#8217;ll wake up with a smile on your face, and you&#8217;ll be ready to go into the day with excitement and enthusiasm.  </p>
<p> If you&#8217;d like more affirmations to use in creating a better life for yourself, you can own a set of <a href="http://tolemac.net/blog/personalized-affirmations-just-for-you/">Personalized Affirmations</a> made specifically for you based on whatever <em>you</em> are wanting to work on. =)</p>
<p>Bright Blessings,</p>

<p>You can use this blessing at anytime really, but it is particularly good to use at the end of something. A job, a committment, a relationship, a project, whatever. This will help you to let go of what has ended and to bring back to you your energy that you have used or given away during the process. Simply substitute &#8220;old year&#8221;/&#8221;2009&#8243; with whatever you are releasing. This is best done from a meditative state. Look with your inner sight at the object of release, and say&#8230;</p>
<p><em>Hello, old year of 2009. I see that it is time for you and I to part. In my minds eye, I look back and I see all that you and I accomplished together, and I am grateful for those things. I see all that you and I did not accomplish, and I am grateful for the lessons of those things. </p>
<p>It is with this gratitude and thanks that I now release and let go of all that we were, knowing that I have grown from the experience; knowing that I am different than I was and that I no longer have use for what was, but instead look at the present state of what is and look forward to what will be.</p>
<p>I release and let go of all of the negative emotions that I had in 2008, no matter what might have caused them to surface. I recall back to me all of my energy that I spent and sent out in negative thought and feeling. I recall back to me also all of the positive energy that I gave out, knowing that only I can use my own energy. </p>
<p>I fully release and let go of the people, events and things from the past year that no longer serve my highest purpose. I release them joyously, and with a glad and grateful heart for the lessons learned. I wish them well, and I wish them gone from my life so that I may invite in new people, events and things that are better aligned to who I am now. </p>
<p>I now say Goodbye to you, 2009. You were what you were, and I am thankful for the many things I experienced and learned during your time. </p>
<p>So mote it be!</em></p>
<p>I wish you all the very Brightest Blessings for the New Year!</p>
<p>Deep Peace, Prosperity, Health &#038; Happiness!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i>Reprinted from my Blessings of The Winter Solstice, 2008 post</i></p>
<p>I offer up this blessing:</p>
<p>Great and Eternal mystery, Great Spirit; God, Goddess, All that is; The Infinite Radiant Is. I thank you for this light and this life. For this beauty way. I thank you for this season of deep contemplation, reflection and retrospection. It is this time of season that offers us the opportunity to grow inwardly as we await the coming of the outward growth of Spring.</p>
<p>In this time of the short day and the long night, I give thanks for all that I have achieved this past year, and all that I will achieve in the new one. I offer up prayers and blessings of gratitude, and thanksgiving for the lessons I have learned; the relations of all varieties I have helped, and that have helped me to grow.</p>
<p>I thank you for this time of stillness so that I can once again hear my heart beat in time with the true rhythm of the Universe.</p>
<p>As we move forward from this Solstice day, I give thanks for the renewing energy that fills all of our lives with the mounting warmth of the new Sun and the new year.</p>
<p>In Gratitude; In Thanks; In Peace; In Wonderment; In Joy I say Ring Out Solstice Bells!</p>
<p>Brightest Blessings to all!</p>

<p><center>Now is the solstice of the year.<br />
winter is the glad song that you hear.<br />
Seven maids move in seven time.<br />
Have the lads up ready in a line.</p>
<p>Ring out these bells.<br />
Ring out, ring solstice bells.<br />
Ring solstice bells.</p>
<p>Join together &#8216;neath the mistletoe,<br />
by the holy oak whereon it grows.<br />
Seven druids dance in seven time.<br />
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming.</p>
<p>Ring out these bells.<br />
Ring out, ring solstice bells.<br />
Ring solstice bells.</p>
<p>Praise be to the distant sister sun,<br />
joyful as the silver planets run.<br />
Seven maids move in seven time.<br />
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming.</p>
<p>Ring out these bells.<br />
Ring out, ring solstice bells.<br />
Ring solstice bells.<br />
Ring on, ring out.<br />
Ring on, ring out.</center></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scientists have found that all our problems can be placed under one heading: Seriousness.</p>
<p>Seriousness is the leading cause of everything from Cancer to Reincarnation. Scientists have already discovered a new source of healing this condition. It is a psychic energy point located between the heart chakra and the throat chakra.</p>
<p>It is called the Clown Chakra.</p>
<p>If people are feeling miserable, if they have financial problems, if their relationship situation is the pits, if they are in ill health, if they have a need to sue people, if they find fault with their brother, then obviously, their Clown Chakra is closed.</p>
<p>When this happens, the scientists have observed under a high-powered microscope that the cells of every organ display a sad face, and when the Clown Chakra is open and functioning normally, the cells display a happy face.</p>
<p>The scientists realized that if a person is ill, it is because his mind has projected guilt onto the cells of his body and has forced out the love that is normally found within each cell of the body. The cells are therefore saying, &#8220;I Lack Love,&#8221; or &#8220;ILL&#8221; for short. The scientists also discovered that all disease is due to the fact that the cells are out of ease or dis-eased.</p>
<p>When the Clown Chakra is opened and working (or rather, playing) properly, the psychic mechanism sucks up misery, pain, anger, resentment, grievances, unhappiness, etc., and converts the energy into tiny red heart-shaped balloons.</p>
<p>The red heart-shaped balloons contain Love and Joy. These balloons are directed to the dis-eased cell or situation, and a happy face appears instantly. When the light enters the darkness, the darkness is gone. Sometimes these red heart-shaped balloons are called endorphins, due to the fact that when anyone experiences them, the feeling of separation ends. They experience being back home with All That Is. Hence they are no longer an orphan. This is the well-known end-orphan effect.</p>
<p>So, if you think someone is attacking you, Clown Scientists recommend that you visualize sending that person red heart-shaped balloons filled with Love and Joy.</p>
<p>Remember to always keep your Clown Chakra open&#8230; and remember to keep laughing.</p>
<p>Beware! Seriousness causes reincarnation.</p>

<p><em>Sending you bright blessings and many red heart-shaped balloons!</em> =)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This is a small excerpt from my forth-coming book on energy meditation. Enjoy!</em></p>
<p>&#8220;The first thing that happens in any creative process, whether that process is designed to manifest something in your life or to change something in your life, is that a <em><strong>decision</strong></em> has to be made. You have to <em>decide</em> what you want, or want to change. This decision includes the parameters of what the change/creation will look like, feel like, etc. Nothing happens until you <em>decide</em> you want it to happen. Once you&#8217;ve made the decision and decided what the specifics of it are, then you can move on to the second step.</p>
<p>The next part of this process is <strong><em>belief</em></strong>. You have to <em>believe</em> many things in order to achieve what you&#8217;ve decided you want. You have to believe, first and foremost, that it&#8217;s possible. If you don&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s possible to have what you want, all the decisions in the world will not make it so. Secondly, you have to believe it&#8217;s ok to have what you want. You can believe it&#8217;s possible to have it, but if it&#8217;s not ok for you to have it, it&#8217;ll never happen. This includes believing that you deserve what you want. This is you giving yourself permission to have.</p>
<p>Then you have to believe that you can have what you want easily and cleanly. You can believe it&#8217;s ok to have it and that it&#8217;s possible to have it and that you deserve to have it, but if you believe you have to struggle to get it or that it&#8217;s hard to achieve, then it&#8217;ll take forever to get it and you&#8217;ll wish you hadn&#8217;t decided you wanted that particular thing, because of all the hassle and grief you went through to get it.</p>
<p>Lastly, once you&#8217;ve made the decision, and you&#8217;ve gotten your beliefs about it in order, you have to be <strong><em>willing</em></strong> to allow yourself to have it. Without the <em>willingness</em> to change, or the willingness to let yourself have what you want, you will throw up huge resistances to achieving it. This is where the fun begins, because now you get to look inside yourself and see what is blocking you from being willing to have what you want. What form is the fear inside you taking that is causing the blockage?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve seen this over and over again in my healing clients, as they go through the process of deciding and believing and then not manifesting because they were not willing to either have what they want, or to let go of something they are holding onto that no longer serves them, or both. Once you can clean that up, and using C.E.M. will help you do just that, then you can be willing to allow yourself to have more and more of what you truly want and to make any and all changes that you&#8217;ve been wanting to make.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>It may take some time and some practice, but once you&#8217;ve gotten it down, you&#8217;ll become unstoppable in manifesting anything and everything that you want. So&#8230;</em></p>
<p>Make the Decision,<br />
Have the Belief,<br />
Be Willing to allow it,</p>
<p>And it is yours. =)</p>
<p>Bright Blessings,</p>
<p>Ross &#8211; &#8220;Tolemac&#8221;</p>
