Learning to embrace inner power

Wow, that wasn’t what I expected the angels to talk about! They’ve never rambled about conspiracy theories before. I personally tend to avoid the topic, not because I’m naive but because my philosophy is that God is God and I don’t wish to “worship false idols” by giving my power away. I still do, in many subtle ways. I catch myself all the time. However, when I can avoid doing so, I will.

I’ve seen one too many “miracles” to believe we are powerless. Years ago a dear friend was house sitting in CA when she awakened from a nap to see towering walls of a wildfire approaching. She started hosing down the roof, realized the futility of it all and just sat and prayed. She lost consciousness and woke up a block away, just fine, with no one around. The house was spared.

I recall a news story that came in during the tsunami of 2006. A man rushed to load 28 orphans into his boat. He saw the tsunami coming and, remembering that Jesus had calmed the seas, prayed, and miraculously all lived.

I’ve seen people whose faith has healed them of fatal diseases, financial disasters, and even seemingly irreconcilable differences with others, the last being the hardest to accomplish since it takes relentless unconditional love and patience, often for decades.

In my own life I try every day to live in a way that is harmonious to my body and current lessons, but at the same time not give my power away by fearing things. I try to focus on what I truly want rather than what I don’t. It really makes a difference.

For example, several years ago I had a horrid case of shingles, feared it and got it a few more times! Not fun. The turning point was when I broke out on both wrists with it (looked like shackles!) the night before I was scheduled to fly out and speak at a conference three days later.

I had a choice. Freak out, get worse, cancel my speaking engagement, or deal, send it love and heal before I spoke. I chose the miracle! I bandaged up the wrists in apple cider vinegar soaked gauze and pictured myself speaking three days later with clean wrists. I did eat the right things, take the right supplements, etc., but instead of having this for six week, it WAS gone in three days and I spoke bandage free! Now if I see a little patch popping up I simply say, “It’ll be gone by tomorrow” put on a little lysine ointment on to soothe, and it is gone within a day or two. Belief is an amazing thing.

I don’t care for every regulation that I must live with or everything I must do to function in society but what I can’t change, I embrace with love and without fear. I can’t control chem trails or even offensive perfumes in a crowd, but I can put “filters in my aura” so I don’t take in unwanted frequencies, and I can strongly remember a scent I prefer so as to avoid disempowering myself with overreactions. Likewise, I don’t enjoy doing taxes, but if I want to embrace a frequency of abundance, I need to focus on the joy that I can “share!” rather than grumbling about having to!

Likewise, I don’t focus on conspiracies. I don’t have time. They exist. So do a lot of other undesirable things. I don’t like all the food at the buffet, as the angels remind me, but I don’t give the unpleasant dishes my power! I simply select the ones I do like. I’m working in my own life, one thought at a time, to focus on the things that make me feel good, enliven me, and empower me. It truly is a much happier reality.

I’d rather do my spiritual exercises in my head, than allow difficult lessons to play out in my outer world. Am I perfect at it yet? Nope! Nonetheless, every thought gives me a choice, and with every good feeling thought I choose, reality gets better, and better!

Here are a few pointers how to focus more on what you do want, when the mind wants to runaway focusing on what you don’t.

1. Say “STOP” when you have a runaway mind

When my mind is spinning around on something negative or fearful and I really want to think better thoughts, I will literally say “STOP!” to my thoughts. If I can say it out loud, I do. If not I say it inwardly. Just interrupting the brain-loop can effectively give you a chance to become more conscious, breathe, and choose a higher, happier thought.

2. Focus on what you want or at least on high vibe thoughts

The more often you fantasize, daydream, and allow yourself to happily think of what you want (without focusing on the fact that it isn’t here yet!) the more you raise your vibe and empower desired realities.

For example, if you want a relationship and you think about it with joyous anticipation, that’s the right vibe. If you think about how it will solve your loneliness, not so much.

If you want health and you dream of all the fun you’ll have when you have it, great vibe! If you feel bad about where you are now, or impatient, not such a great vibe.

If you focus on all the fun things you’ll do with money and give thanks for everything you have now until you feel wildly abundant, that’s a great vibe. If you focus on what you can’t do not, not helpful.

If you focus on the freedom of your spirit to create, the joyous power inside of you and the fact that the creator of universes is in charge, that feels great! If you focus on fearing controlling souls or organizations, the puts you at a disadvantage.

If you can’t create a high vibe thinking about what you want, then just focus on any high vibe thoughts. You’ll know they’re high vibe because they make you feel good. For example, thinking of hiking, cooking, animals, music, people I love, or meditating are high vibe thoughts for me!

3. If you feel afraid, comfort yourself in a healthy way

If fear is gripping you, give yourself a hug or get one from a loved one. There is nothing like comforting touch – yours or others – to biologically calm the fight/flight reaction. Breathe slowly and deeply. That does it too. Wrap a blanket around you and ask the angels for comfort. Talk to your inner child with love. Call a friend. Use a therapeutic modality like hypnosis (there are inexpensive hypnosis downloads at www.selfhypnosis.com). Nurture yourself kindly and slowly the fear will cease.

We were all raised in a world where we were taught to fear outside forces that could control us. We are all learning a deeper truth as we move into 5D thinking. Some day in the future children will be taught to train their minds to think good thoughts, from a young age and what a glorious, harmonious, happy, healthy world that will be!

Until then, may the Faith be with you – because faith is a force, that moves mountains, and certainly creates realities that you’ll love to live!

After all, you are nothing less than a wave of light upon an ocean of love – eternally connected to and empowered by that Source of all!
