1 - Discover Your Worth: “No matter how intelligent, attractive or talented you may be — to the degree that you doubt your worthiness you tend to sabotage your efforts and undermine your relationships.” You open up to abundant life only to the extent you believe you deserve it. How good can you stand it today?

2 - Reclaim Your Will: “Until you reclaim your will — assert your power to act upon what you know — even the best plans remain unrealized.” Self-respect comes from doing what needs to be done, whether or not you are in the mood. Can you turn knowledge into action?

3 - Energize Your Body: “If you lack vitality, nothing else really matters; if you have your health, anything is possible.” The only thing you are sure to keep for a lifetime is your body. How might you take better care of your body?

4 - Manage Your Money: “By clarifying your goals and using your gifts, you can make good money, doing what you enjoy while serving the highest calling of your soul.” Money is neither god nor devil, but a form of energy and a practical necessity. Have you achieved financial stability?

5 - Tame Your Mind: “The world is…a reflection of your mind. As your mind clears, you perceive reality simply as it is.” You see the world through filters of belief, opinion and interpretation. How do your beliefs shape your experience?

6 - Trust Your Intuition: “Your subconscious holds keys to a treasure house of intuitive wisdom, clear sight and untapped power.” There are hidden ways of knowing about and responding to the world. Have you accessed your inner guidance system?

7 - Accept Your Emotions: “Accept emotions completely, let your feelings be; just don't let them run your life.” Feelings are natural; you need not fix them, but transcend them. Have you made peace with your emotions?

8 - Face Your Fears: “courage is not in the absence of fear, but the conquering of it.” Everyday courage is not a feeling but an action. Have you made fear your servant and guide, or let it become your master?

9 - Illuminate Your Shadow: “Releasing energy once bound in defense of self-image, you find energy, understanding, humility and compassion.” Self-knowledge generates authenticity, energy and compassion. Do you truly know yourself, or only your self-image?

10 - Embrace Your Sexuality: “Life is not a matter of indulging or denying the energies of life, but observing, accepting, and wisely channeling them.” Making love can be a spiritual practice and a celebration of life. Have you realized your potential for intimacy and joy?

11 - Awaken Your Heart: “Love endures not from words or feelings alone, but from actions that carry you beyond the interests of separate self, beyond reason or motive, to embrace all people, things and circumstances.” Love is an action that opens the gateways to everyday enlightenment. Can you act with love without reason?

12 - Serve Your World: “Service is both a means and an end, for in giving to others, you open yourself to love, abundance, and inner peace.” The final gateway brings meaning to life. How might you make a positive difference for someone today?

Fire the Earth Grid

Global Meditation to heal the Earth

www.firethegrid.com

The Earth needs our help! She is sick, and She needs our energy. Humans from all around the World, from every corner of the Globe are coming together simultaneously on July 17, 2007 11:11 Greenwich Mean time to fire the energy grid of the Earth. Mass citizens are doing this in order to give our Planet the surge of energy She needs to survive these chaotic times, and come through them resurrected anew, with a willingness to bring about the coming days of peace.

As you probably know, The Earth is being harmed by its residents.  It won't be able to stand the poisons that are constantly entering Her environment for much longer unless we help her. Beings of Light, who truly care for this planet, have drawn up a plan for us humans to follow.  So what is the plan? The time has been set for July 17, 2007 at 11:11 Greenwich Mean Time, in which volunteers are to simply sit down and mediate, pray, visualize, (whatever you do) for one hour. It is only one hour out of your entire life. During this time, our combined energies will work to direct energy to the Earth and to each other. I ask you to choose the way in which you deliver your intention. For those of you that pray, then pray for the hour asking for the faith and power to accomplish this tremendous task. Those of you who meditate, meditate and see the intention of your thoughts swirling deep inside our Earth delivering the love and healing. Those of you who have no ritual may simply develop one that works for you. If you sit and repeat a phrase of your intention such as “I offer you my energy to heal this world and its people” Any positive words of hope, love, and desire for change will manifest these thoughts as our new reality. If possible, gather with others during this hour. I have found that the intensity of my meditations heightens when I am sharing the experience with other people.  

You may be wondering if that will really heal the Earth. The answer is yes. We tend to underestimate the power of creation that we humans have been blessed with. We especially tend to underestimate are co-creative power we have as an entire race. This planned sitting of the people of Earth will demonstrate the love and faith we feel for the goodness of our world and its inhabitants. We are the catalyst to the healing of the Earth. A true believer has the power of ten fold. So if you only think you may believe, know that the faith of the others will boost your own faith and the power will be intensified. That is why we must all sit at the same time. We will feed each others power, strengthening the force of delivery and the compounding the energy we send to the core of our home. Each and every one of us is important alone, but together we are a very powerful source of creative energy. Remember we are all a piece of God, and that energy of creation lives in all of us.

Please join us. We are the hope.
