&lt;p&gt;      Yesterday I talked to a friend who does transformational breathing workshops, to be reviewed at http://www. oxygenesis.org. She told me about a new healing modality for the subconscious called Psych-k. At first glanc it seems to be quite similar to EFT, except you don&amp;#39;t need the tapping any more. Just trusting the higher power to heal, speak pure intention, is the tool. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course that&amp;#39;s the tool in every modality, in the doctors white coat, which is supposed to impress his godliness on us, as well as in the highly advertised pill. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems the question is only when are we beginning to trust that we are all right by nature?&lt;br /&gt;And beyongd the intention and the trust? What&amp;#39;s the minmal practice?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Desmond untiringly declares: conscious breathing is the bottom line of all pracitce. Which makes sense, because even the old greeks knew that pneuma = breath is one with pneuma = spirit. And to&amp;nbsp;their insights I add: Transformational breathing opens you up to subconscious blocks and gives you a tool for releasing them in the same instance. So that you know&amp;nbsp;breathing is IT&amp;nbsp;and you find a way to stick with IT. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next workshop is in Janauary right here in Negril, Jamaica. Hope to see you there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mikael&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.: If you sign up tell Lois I recommended you. I am sure she&amp;#39;ll give me a discunt for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;I have a story to tell about my sister-in-law.&amp;nbsp; She had a rash on her hands that the doctors could not help her.&amp;nbsp; She kept thinking the worse that there was no cure, and it got so bad she told her family she was going to die from it.&amp;nbsp; When she surrendered and gave in, or stopped&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;opposing&lt;/em&gt; what she thought was bad,&amp;nbsp;she found some over the counter ointment at the dollar store that took it right away.&amp;nbsp; As long as we think&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;we&lt;/em&gt; have to fix something &lt;em&gt;we&lt;/em&gt; get in the way and cannot hear that small voice.&amp;nbsp; As the saying goes, Let Go and Let God.&lt;br /&gt;Your friend, Tina&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

Health and happiness aqre unavoidable if we only folow through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No wonder, that negative attitude makes everything appear as stressfull and stress has been discovered as the main culprit in causing illness, while a positive attitude, and the expectations for the future that follow, makes us relaxed, happy, healthy and content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check the Attitudinal Healing website:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;URL: &lt;a href="http://www.localcommunities.org/servlet/lc_ProcServ/?dbpage=page&amp;amp;GID=01004011550953856176805252&amp;amp;PG=01004011550953862994211414&amp;amp;x=15&amp;amp;y=12"&gt;http://www.localcommunities.org/servlet/lc_ProcServ/?dbpage=page&amp;amp;GID=01004011550953856176805252&amp;amp;PG=01004011550953862994211414&amp;amp;x=15&amp;amp;y=12&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S.: Where are the tags??? I must have messed up somewhere???&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      The simplicity of the solution can elude many, because we&amp;#39;ve been so well trained to look at things a certain way.&amp;nbsp; Acculturated to give away our power, practiced in ignoring the truth so that we are good marks...&amp;nbsp; Programs like Avatar, More to Life, the Forum, etc, are very useful for underlining the truth, and giving us a chance to unlearn the falsehoods we allow to limit us.&amp;nbsp; Unlearning the lie is an important step toward living the truth.&amp;nbsp; Generative thought, the practice of simple manifestation, will be our way through many of the destructive situations in the world.&amp;nbsp; Bright blessing for all those unlearning lies, for all those practicing truth, for all those sharing light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace,&lt;br /&gt;Crow &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      yes well hehe its people think they need to figure it all out...Just stop thinking about the situation and&amp;nbsp;be there now-find the feelings that represent the resolved state of what you were trying to figure out previously!!! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Wow!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks a lot, wildindigo. You seem to have it all figured out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I thought I had it figured out myself, too, until I went to this Avatar program&amp;nbsp; in Florida for the last two weeks, and learned that I was only thinking about it, not really feeling and living it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But what they teach there is exactly what you suggest: how to make the change of the beliefs and how to come to stay changed. I mean free form doubts, traumas, addictions, and hang ups. It really worked so that my mind has been free and empty for the whole time since I came back. And i know that i am in charge of my mind, and that&amp;#39;s it, And i got the tools to change any negatives or limitations.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But how would I have made the change without this course. How did you get there?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I imagine someone who is in the middle of the confusion will just say, oh crap, how people do devieve themselves, or something like that. What do you think?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Anyway, I&amp;#39;ll be off for some more time and share more about Avatar when i come back in September.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mikael&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Do you have problems in your life?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Business problems...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Financial problems...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Health problems...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Relationship problems...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any other kind of problems?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you do...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&amp;#39;s my simple three-step formula for completely&lt;br /&gt;eliminating them from your life:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step #1 - Completely eliminate the word &amp;quot;problem&amp;quot; from your&lt;br /&gt;vocabulary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first step to completely eliminating problems from your&lt;br /&gt;life is to completely eliminate the word &amp;quot;problem&amp;quot; from your&lt;br /&gt;vocabulary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &amp;quot;Oxford Advanced Learner&amp;#39;s Dictionary&amp;quot; defines the word&lt;br /&gt;problem as:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;A thing that is difficult to deal with or to understand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By its very definition, the word problem implies difficulty&lt;br /&gt;and, more often than not, is accompanied by all sorts of&lt;br /&gt;destructive emotions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather than call something a &amp;quot;problem&amp;quot;, why not call it what&lt;br /&gt;it really is...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &amp;quot;Oxford Advanced Learner&amp;#39;s Dictionary&amp;quot; defines the word&lt;br /&gt;situation as:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;All the circumstances and things that are happening at a&lt;br /&gt;particular time and in a particular place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&amp;#39;s exactly what a problem *really* is, isn&amp;#39;t it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A so-called problem is nothing more or less than a given set&lt;br /&gt;of circumstances and things that are happening at a&lt;br /&gt;particular time and in a particular place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What makes a situation a &amp;quot;problem&amp;quot; is the difficulty *you*&lt;br /&gt;assign to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A problem isn&amp;#39;t really a problem...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s a situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You make a situation a problem by how you label it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By simply re-labeling a problem as a situation, and&lt;br /&gt;*meaning* it, you remove the difficulty and destructive&lt;br /&gt;emotions associated with it and put yourself in the&lt;br /&gt;necessary state of mind to constructively deal with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you&amp;#39;ve reduced a problem to what it really is...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just another situation in your life...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You&amp;#39;re ready for...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step #2 - Forget it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&amp;#39;t talk about the situation...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&amp;#39;t think about the situation...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forget it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;When you forget it, it will be gone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&amp;#39;s exactly what happens too...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Forget it&amp;quot; is easier said than done, isn&amp;#39;t it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trying to forget something is a bit like trying not to think&lt;br /&gt;about pink elephants...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more you try *not* to think about them, the more you&lt;br /&gt;think about them, don&amp;#39;t you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you forget about pink elephants?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simple...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about blue elephants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you change your focus from pink elephants to blue&lt;br /&gt;elephants, the pink elephants disappear all by themselves,&lt;br /&gt;don&amp;#39;t they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step #3 - Focus your attention on the situation you want,&lt;br /&gt;not on the one you don&amp;#39;t want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a Creative Power within you that makes your life&lt;br /&gt;into the exact image of that to which you focus your&lt;br /&gt;attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you focus your attention on the situation you want...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&amp;#39;s exactly what you&amp;#39;ll have...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The situation you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you focus your attention on the situation you don&amp;#39;t&lt;br /&gt;want...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&amp;#39;s exactly what you&amp;#39;ll have...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The situation you *don&amp;#39;t* want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the way the Universe works!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather than focus your attention on an undesirable situation&lt;br /&gt;you might find yourself in, focus your attention instead on&lt;br /&gt;a desirable situation you&amp;#39;d prefer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should you find yourself in an undesirable financial&lt;br /&gt;situation, ask yourself what it&amp;#39;s opposite would be...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a desirable financial situation would be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine yourself as if you were already there...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In that desirable financial situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep your attention focused there...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On yourself in that desirable financial situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moment you begin doing this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You&amp;#39;ll begin moving toward that desirable financial&lt;br /&gt;situation and that desirable financial situation will begin&lt;br /&gt;moving toward you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the same time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You&amp;#39;ll find, as I have, that the undesirable financial&lt;br /&gt;situation will begin to clean itself up or disappear all by&lt;br /&gt;itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There you have it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&amp;#39;t let its simplicity deceive you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best strategies in life are the simplest. :-)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      How would you like your life to be different in one year?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More patient?&lt;br /&gt;Better relationships?&lt;br /&gt;At one with the world?&lt;br /&gt;Wealthier?&lt;br /&gt;Better educated?&lt;br /&gt;More fit?&lt;br /&gt;Different job?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ancient Egyptians thought that words were magic. They believed&lt;br /&gt;that if you write it, surely it will happen.&lt;br /&gt;P.S. Follow the Egyptians - write it down. That&amp;#39;s much of the power&lt;br /&gt;of my holographic reality creation system - writing down what you&lt;br /&gt;really want, including the emotions you are generating.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      The #1 Predictor of Human Behavior? No, it&amp;#39;s not upbringing,&lt;br /&gt;or personality type, or socioeconomic class. No, it&amp;#39;s not&lt;br /&gt;math scores, or self esteem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The #1 Predictor of Human Behavior is PAST BEHAVIOR!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are creatures of patterns. If we have done something in&lt;br /&gt;the past, we are likely to do it again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If someone has a history of being kind, they are likely to be kind.&lt;br /&gt;When a person has habitually been rude, they are likely to be&lt;br /&gt;rude in the future. If you have believed in scarcity, you are likely&lt;br /&gt;to think the same thoughts now, unless....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. Given the patterns and tendencies, do we really have&lt;br /&gt;free will?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hint - I just went upstairs and did something totally different -&lt;br /&gt;because I decided to do it! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      THE SECRET&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Creator gathered all of Creation and said,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it. It&lt;br /&gt;is the realization that they create their own reality.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The eagle said, &amp;quot;Give it to me, I will take it to the moon.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Creator said, &amp;quot;No. One day they will go there and find it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The salmon said, &amp;quot;I will bury it on the bottom of the ocean.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;No. They will go there too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The buffalo said, &amp;quot;I will bury it on the Great Plains.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Creator said, &amp;quot;They will cut into the skin of the Earth and find&lt;br /&gt;it even there.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grandmother Mole, who lives in the breast of Mother Earth, and who&lt;br /&gt;has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes, said, &amp;quot;Put it&lt;br /&gt;inside of them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the Creator said,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;It is done.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yes, you are right, they all start with &amp;quot;In&amp;quot;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intuition&lt;br /&gt;Inspiration&lt;br /&gt;Intelligence&lt;br /&gt;Innate&lt;br /&gt;Instinct&lt;br /&gt;Insight&lt;br /&gt;Inner&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does that tell us about ourselves?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It tells me that guidance and light come from within. &amp;nbsp;Trust that&lt;br /&gt;guidance more in your lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;U can just read this quotes and ull easily get some new insigt...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Getting Clear on Your Goals and Dreams&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We all have things we&amp;#39;d love to be and do. &amp;nbsp;The benefits we&lt;br /&gt;are pursuing all come down to an emotion that we are trying&lt;br /&gt;to create through our accomplishments and goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you want to gain some clarity? &amp;nbsp;Invest some energy and&lt;br /&gt;focus into figuring out what emotion you are really after.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then go straight for it, and feel it now!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. &amp;nbsp;The emotion you want is your real goal, and you can have it&lt;br /&gt;right now. &amp;nbsp;If you can cultivate the desired emotion without&lt;br /&gt;the accomplishment or item you think you need - you can have it&lt;br /&gt;all!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Letting go of the story liberates the spirit&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In many recovery programs you are asked to share your story on a regular basis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This sharing of my story was a very important tool of liberation. This is what it did for me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;After recounting my story a few times I began to listen to myself and hear myself speak. I soon found that my story was quite different every time I told it. In fact it turned out that it was impossible to tell the same story twice even though I thought I was talking about me and my life, the only thing I thought I knew really well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eventually I saw that the story changed according to my feelings and attitudes of the moment and according to my intention deriving from my momentary internal situation. There was no me as my story, there was only my attempt to express a part of my truth, which wasn&amp;#39;t very true at all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;This opened me up to letting go of my story, so that when I heard Pema Choedron say, that you can do without your story, because you&amp;#39;re o.k. the way you are, it was easy to drop the story and recognize the freedom that lies beyond the limits of defining myself by a few experiences that were exciting or traumatic enough to remember. I became open to stop identifying with the analyzing part of mind and to begin to see myself as something bigger, beyond words, something called open mind, knowingness, or spirit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eventually I could see that the story is only a means of separating myself from others, to create the illusion that I am different, better, or smarter, but after learning to let go of judgments it became clear that there really is no difference at all. That it is only my fear of inferiority that tends to create these differences in order to give me the illusion of being better, while in fact everybody is just doing the same thing: trying to feel better with wrong or insufficient means.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;After a few more years I became able to stick with the idea that I am spirit and know that as spirits we are all the same, yes, not only exactly the same, but one universal mind expressing itself through humans as love, intelligence, knowing, creativity, truth, peace and beauty, something we might call &amp;quot;the goodness within.&amp;quot; The rest is fearful thinking.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;In the english speaking world most people seem to have an ide what spirit is. Maybe inb Germany too. Maybe it&amp;#39;s just me who went through life so ignorant that eh couldn&amp;#39;t connect with spirit at all. Or know what people mean when they talk about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please help me out. I think it&amp;#39;s really important to have a clear idea about spirit. Even though it might be different from everyone else&amp;#39;s idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So for a start let me quote the most simple definition of spirit I heard, and it is the on that got me started in finding out what spirit is in me:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;Spirit is that which is most important to you.&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt; (Bjorklund, P., What is Spirituality, Hazelden Foundation, 1983)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&amp;#39;s it. You might think of team spirit,&amp;nbsp;community spirit, or Christmas spirit.&lt;br /&gt;Yes, with team spirit I could identify. Whereas my german idea of spirit = &amp;quot;Geist&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;meant more something like mind or reason. On the thinking level, that is, not with any &amp;quot;spirit&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;esprit,&amp;quot; as the French say.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;And even though I am leaving the topic now, i would like to add: It seems that the German community spirit had been too traumatized, too disappointed by the Nazis, so that a whole generation, or even two, could not think of spirit as something worthwhile considering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
