<p>When we&#8217;re little boys or girls there are often rites of initiation we go through, sometimes without our knowledge until after the fact.  We get chaperoned to some &#8220;big person&#8221; activity&#8230;.  The older sister offering the younger sister a sip of beer, the older brother letting the younger brother take a hit off his cigarette, the mom taking the daughter to the ladies luncheon, the father taking the son off to hunt&#8230;. you name it.  It&#8217;s part of growing up.</p>
<p>One of my initiations was hunting.  Deer hunting.  Camping out with my pops and his buddies, climbing 15 feet into a tree with a 20 gauge and sitting on a branch while freezing my ass off&#8230; fun stuff for a 9 year old.  It lead to other excursions- frog spearing (and no, frog legs do not taste like chicken), more deer hunts, and raccoon hunting.  Which required dogs.  BlueTicks and Redbones and a lot of preparation and trap setting.  The traps were simple- a beer can with multiple cuts in the top allowing the flaps of aluminum to be pointed inwards.  You wanted the flaps to be large enough to allow a raccoon paw to go into.  The raccoon would want to put his paw into it because it saw the &#8220;shiny&#8221; object at the bottom of the can- a new quarter, fools gold, old costume jewelry, anything that would sparkle and shine under the light of a full moon.</p>
<p>Raccoons are fascinated with shiny objects and will want to bring it back to their den.  They&#8217;ll reach into the can with an empty paw to grab it, but won&#8217;t be able to pull their paw out because the flaps won&#8217;t allow it and will dig into their hide.  Their paw is just too big, while holding the shiny quarter, to be pulled out of the can.  So now you&#8217;ve got a raccoon stuck to a can because no matter what, they will not give up their &#8220;treasure&#8221;.  Even when those dogs are bailing and barking and running towards it.  It might try to scramble away, but it&#8217;s reluctance and adamant refusal to give up what they found in the can is always their demise.</p>
<p>We, as humans, have so much freedom of choice that we can even choose to keep ourselves enslaved and captured by thoughts, habits, actions, and things in the past that just don&#8217;t even matter anymore to where we are headed.  Yet it&#8217;s much easier, almost as if it&#8217;s the path of least resistance, to doggedly affix ourselves to what was.  &#8220;What was&#8221; or &#8220;What happened&#8221; meant something, whether it hurt us or pleased us.  &#8220;What&#8217;s coming&#8221;, and &#8220;What we&#8217;re allowing&#8221;, well, those are just unknown ideas, unknown possibilities.  We may want to &#8220;go&#8221; there or &#8220;get&#8221; there, but we can&#8217;t because we&#8217;ve got this stupid can of what we&#8217;re holding on to, keeping us back.  As much as we&#8217;d *really* like to move forward and progress onwards, we&#8217;re not allowing ourselves to.  We may think we are, but we know that something&#8217;s holding us from where we really need to be, who we really need to be, and it&#8217;s easy to blame the can, not ourselves, right?</p>
<p>The person who said I asked them the <a href="http://shiftedenergy.com/?p=416">3 rudest questions</a> they&#8217;ve ever been asked had a &#8220;can on their hand&#8221;.  At the end of that particular discussion I mentioned that if they ever needed it, I&#8217;d offer them a session of <a href="http://www.repatterning.org/resonanceexplained.htm">Resonance Repatterning</a>.  They took me up on it, and we discovered that the &#8220;can on their hand&#8221; was linked to a pattern of beliefs that had distorted and interrupted their Energy in their meridians and chakras- and that that was caused because they had a pattern in their childhood of being told what and who they were.  When I finally came along in their Life&#8217;s path and asked them those 3 rudest questions, what had actually happened was that they had already reached a point in their journey that on some deeper level, they were no longer resonating with those patterns.  they wanted to change, but weren&#8217;t able to as that &#8220;can&#8221; had become so big.  Their explosion of anger and rage at me was the catalyst that gave this person the conscious notion that it was time to change.  The session revealed the correct modality and follow up actions they could do on their own to ensure their resonance was no longer matching those older issues and that they would move towards a greater sense of coherence in their lives.  Resonance Repatterning is <a href="http://shiftedenergy.com/?p=225">clearing the old channels of Energy</a> to allow newer channels in.</p>
<p>Is there a can stuck to your hand?  Is there something that you can not and will not let go of?  Conversely, and even more so, do you feel that something or someone can not and will not let go of you?!  You have the strength and power to look forward, to allow all that was and all that has been to just be.  You don&#8217;t have to or need to bring it with you on your journey, but it may be disallowing you from it.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in Resonance Repatterning, it can be done in person or by proxy through email and telephone calls.  There aren&#8217;t that many practitioners, but it&#8217;s well worth it.  Send me an email at jhenry@shiftedenergy.com, or check out the following two ladies, both good friends of mine:</p>

Are you ready to ask someone the 3 rudest questions?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_421" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.azpano.com/gal_cherry_creek_fire.html"><img class="size-medium wp-image-421" title="Cherry Creek Fire" src="http://shiftedenergy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cherry_crk_fire2-300x199.jpg" alt="Cherry Creek Fire" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cherry Creek Fire</p></div>
<p>There&#8217;s always times that someone looking for help or advice makes their way into your Life and your Perceptions.  While it&#8217;s &#8220;nice&#8221; to be helpful, at times many are just in a place that you don&#8217;t, and don&#8217;t want to, resonate with.  As an example, maybe a friend of yours is having some relationship problems, maybe a family member is having financial problems, maybe a business partner is having some legal troubles&#8230;. whatever the case may be, they&#8217;ve come to you for advice, assistance, help, a friendly shoulder to lean or cry on, someone to hear them out.  <strong>While it&#8217;s certainly fine to listen, they are usually in a place that will prevent them from really hearing what you have to say</strong>.</p>
<p>Let me reiterate that.  <em>They are usually in a  place that will prevent them from fully hearing, fully understanding, and fully comprehending whatever tip, piece of advice, or comforting words you offer.</em> The only way they will hear and understand is if you can relate to them, vibrationally and energetically.  They are attempting (or perhaps unconsciously manipulating) to get you to &#8220;see&#8221; them as someone with this dis-ease or dis-comfort.  You get me?  When and if you do, then you&#8217;re only doing a dis-service to them, and more importantly, to you.  To &#8220;see&#8221; them as they are presenting themselves means you have allowed yourself to become temporarily disconnected from your Source and stream of Life and Energy.  You have chosen to &#8220;see&#8221; them not as who they could be, their version of their highest self, but as someone, consumed with what ails them, is cutting themselves off from their own Source and Stream of Life.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s step back a bit.  There&#8217;s only Well Being, right?  If you don&#8217;t believe that, then this might not make a whole lot of sense.  It&#8217;s really all about where we allow ourselves to exist- on a material and spiritual, non-physical, level.  <a href="http://shiftedenergy.com/?p=11">There aren&#8217;t any victims, and only we are responsible for where, when, who, and how we are.</a> When we consciously choose the best feeling thought, the best feeling emotion, the best feeling and inspired actions, <a href="http://shiftedenergy.com/?p=93">then we&#8217;re allowing that into our life, that what we create.</a></p>
<p>By choosing to &#8220;see&#8221; someone needing advice, help, in the midst of their often overwhelming problems, and then rendering aide, you&#8217;re bringing yourself closer to them vibrationally.  They won&#8217;t understand your message or advice or solution because you&#8217;re already coming from a point diametrically opposed from where they are, otherwise they wouldn&#8217;t really be coming to you for help, etc, would they?  You&#8217;re in a place they&#8217;re not- there&#8217;s really no way they can &#8220;get&#8221; your message until they allow themselves to match your vibration and energy.  The more you keep giving what they need, the closer you match their vibration until they do &#8220;get&#8221; what you&#8217;ve been telling them&#8230; Now the problem is, you&#8217;re not happy because they still have a problem, they&#8217;re not happy with your bad advice AND they still have their problem, and the problem is still there without any solution or cure.  Sounds like a winning scenario right?</p>
<p><strong>Wouldn&#8217;t it be better</strong> for all involved if you were just a little selfish?  What if, instead of giving them what they need or ask for, <em>you choose instead to:</em></p>
<p>a)  see them as they really are, a vibrant radiant energetic being knowing only well-being.  The who they would like to be, their version of their highest self.</p>
<p>b) choose to continue to be happy regardless of the person asking for your help or advice, and regardless of their problem.</p>
<p>c) Appreciate them for who they really are and that their presence allows in you the reminder to continually choose for yourself the best feeling thoughts, ideas, emotions, and actions.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll be happy (still), by not allowing yourself to &#8220;see&#8221; them as they are presenting themselves, their version of What Is, <em>they come closer to your Energy</em>. Or your Energy just repels them.  They may still have the problem, and go to others for what they perceive you have failed to give them, but you&#8217;ve chosen to see them as something else.  When they sense that you fail to see them &#8220;with their problem&#8221;, this very well changes their notion of who they could be, and when around you in the future, may not bring that problem with them.</p>
<p>You still get me?</p>
<p>In case you&#8217;re still wandering, the &#8220;rudest&#8221; questions I asked are:</p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;Are you Happy?&#8221;</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;What do you want?&#8221;</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;Who are you?&#8221;</strong></em></p>
<p>Big Hugs,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-315" title="huntington beach" src="http://shiftedenergy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/huntington-beach-225x300.jpg" alt="huntington beach" width="225" height="300" />Rob is a surfer kid from Huntington Beach I know.  Even though he&#8217;s almost 34, I still call him kid affectionately as he has the exuberance and energy of one.</p>
<p>We first met in Ft. Stewart, GA.  He had a beat up Honda Accord that he threw all his spare money into- custom manifolds, custom exhausts, custom car stereo&#8230;.  On weekends, he&#8217;d bungee cord his surfboard to the roof and drive off to the beaches between Hilton Head Island and Jekyll Island always looking for some better waves.  I joined him many times and for the most part, we both decided waves were better on the West Coast.</p>
<p>He was a classic kuncklehead.  Never on time.  Always had money problems.  Loved to backtalk and make sarcastic replies.  Women loved, then hated him.  And he was always getting tickets.  His life was a mess, and the longer I knew him while we were  both still in the Army, the more he spiraled downward and out of control.</p>
<p>After I had left to pursue other callings of my own life, Rob did something, well, quite amazing.  To this day, it still impresses me.  Not the fact that he decided to do it, but the fact that he recognized this question, this basic question of life, so early on.  His girlfriend had dumped him after draining his bank accounts (he was a trusting guy, and still is) while he was in Kosovo.  Bungee cords gave way and deposited his surfboard on GA State Route 26.  Then his car was stolen.  His rebelliousness against all military command was the cause of his demotion and several Article 15&#8217;s.  Then he failed a urinalysis test.  All this within a month.</p>
<p>I had been keeping up with him via brief phone calls now and then and talked to him at the tail end of all this.  Rather than be upset, angry, and pissed off at all the things that had gone wrong in that Month of Calamity, he was calm, happy, and well.. aloof.  He told me he woke up one morning, and decided that he could be Happy or Angry.  We talked about it more.  This was NEWS to me.   If he could be happy in spite of all the crap thats gone wrong, then how happy would he be when everything goes right?  He told me all that stuff didn&#8217;t matter- the surfboard, the car, the girlfriend that he had fallen in love with, the thousands that she ran off with.  <strong>All that did matter, to him, was that he stay happy</strong>.  I&#8217;ve heard some of his other friends call him <em>the most selfish person they know</em> because of this.  He doesn&#8217;t care because he knows, without a doubt, that he alone is responsible for his own happiness and he has made that the focal point of his life.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it.  One decision made one morning and Rob&#8217;s life changed immaculately and forever.  Sure, life still tested him and threw him curve balls- but he&#8217;s been happy, genuinely happy, since he made that decision.  He&#8217;s one of the funniest guys I know, and being around him makes me happy.  He has a joyous Energy around him.  He&#8217;s also one of the &#8220;luckiest&#8221; guys I know&#8230;</p>
<p>He&#8217;s gone from being broke and living in a trailer (surfing all day and living off of unemployment after his army days) to being rich and living in a RV.  He owns several construction companies in Southern California and lets other people manage them while he travels up and down the coast chasing waves.  While some people may not equate being rich with living in a RV, to him, it&#8217;s the ultimate expression of freedom- the ability to pick up and move on to wherever he damn well pleases.</p>
<p><strong></p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t that one momentous decision that allowed him to be happy</strong>, it was a series of steps and smaller decisions he had undertaken &#8211; all the things that had gone &#8220;wrong&#8221; in his life and the emotions he attached to them&#8230;that allowed him to climb to the point where he could, <em>by setting his intentions into words</em>, <strong>choose to just be happy</strong>.  Once he did that, all the stuff that had gone &#8220;wrong&#8221; before just no longer mattered to him.  His point of focus was so powerful that morning he woke up and decided to be happy, that he&#8217;s never had to revisit or question that decision and his response.  It&#8217;s become his <strong>normal</strong>.</p>
<p>When I talk to Rob now, he&#8217;s never consumed by all that he&#8217;s achieved.  It&#8217;s just his own personal path of progression and evolution guided by his singular desire to <strong>just be happy</strong>.  All that he&#8217;s achieved has just been his path to his happiness, and every step of the way, he remained happy and joyful.  Think about that.  When I knew him in the Army he had just turned 19.  He did terrible in school because he skipped most of his classes every day to catch waves in the morning.  He never held a job and had no clue what to do after he graduated.  The Army was an easy choice for him because a recruiter promised him he could get stationed in Hawaii.  He smoked cheeba, he chased and abused betty&#8217;s (the californian term for hot babes), he drove and lived recklessly, he was a double fisted drinker and fighter, and he absolutely hated and rebelled against all authority figures.  How could such a walking calamity as he was ever attain what he has in just under 15 years?</p>
<p>He became a plumber in the mid 90&#8217;s after his unemployment ran out.  He earned his license based on his military training, then levied those skills to into a plumbing contracting business which he then sold to purchase a small construction company.  When business boomed for him in early 2000, he bought another, then another.  <em>Somehow, the right people came into his life at the right time</em> to do all this- only so Rob could continue to feel happy.  What makes him happy besides surfing?  Not much- but that&#8217;s the whole point.  Rob&#8217;s Life turned around and provided him a way and a means to do what he loves.  <strong>He didn&#8217;t start out trying to manifest money or wealth</strong> (that was a by-product of his genuine desire to just be happy), but he is now wealthy enough to never have to work another day in his life.</p>
<p>This seems to be the point that most people can never really get right, they just don&#8217;t know what they truly love and enjoy to do.  They doggedly pursue wealth assuming once they have it, then they&#8217;ll be happy.  <strong>Money is not the engine, it&#8217;s just the oil.</strong></p>
<p>He&#8217;s on his way to Australia and New Zealand to catch waves out there for a few years.  I keep telling him that eventually he&#8217;ll find something else that will make him as happy as surfing, and he tells me that he knows. Then he tells me he also knows his life will provide him the means and the way to be happy doing that as well.</p>
<p><strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not about the how and the why- it&#8217;s only about how you feel!</strong></p>
<p>Big Hugs,</p>
<p>J.Henry</p>

<p>Update: 9 July 09:  I spoke with Rob recently.  Although he&#8217;s still setting things up in Cali. for an extended departure to the land down down under, he did have time to scan a book with me over the phone.  It&#8217;s from Brian Kim who has a great productivity blog that Rob and I have been reading for a couple of years.  We both agreed that this is the most simplest way to find out what makes you happy and gives you the ideas needed to do it.  Check it out: <a href="http://www.shiftedenergy.com/briankim/">Find your Passion!</a></p>
<p>Update: 18 August 09: Rob has made it to Kiama, Australia.  Tells me &#8220;The Boneyard&#8221; is where the surf is happening.  Our buddies at Real Subliminal revamped one of their products based on Rob&#8217;s wild success story:  <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=22430&amp;userID=362712&amp;productID=466346357" target="_blank">Extreme Self Motivation Subliminal</a> Check it out!</p>

I think so, and this is how I've broken it down.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-308" title="cloudy_az" src="http://shiftedenergy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/cloudy_az1-300x200.jpg" alt="cloudy_az" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>So far, all the people I&#8217;ve ever known, met, dealt with, or shared experiences with can be expressed in 5 Types.</p>
<p>This list isn&#8217;t meant to be a definitive end all categorization but more of a generalized quantifier.  It&#8217;s my personal list culled from over 20 years worth of dealing and interacting with men, women, and groups from around the world.  When boiled down to it, at least one of the Types is applicable to everyone I encounter.  Some may resonate more with one Type or another, some may exhibit qualities of one Type one day, and another Type another day&#8230;  The more I&#8217;ve used this as a framework with which to interact with people, the more I&#8217;ve learned how to effectively and successfully deal and interact with each Type, offering them positivity and blessings how I could, and how they would allow me.</p>
<p>In no particular order:</p>
<p><strong><br />
Problem focused or Solution focused? </strong>Does this person tend to dwell and linger on how unjust and unfair a particular problem is?  Does this person tend to place blame on someone or something for the events that caused a problem, whether they were responsible for it or not? Does this person even admit that a problem exists? Does this person capitalize on the misfortune of others&#8217; problems? Does this person make the problem personal? Does this person stagnate due to this problem, is it overwhelming and exhausting to them?</p>
<p>Is this person focusing attention and Energy towards a creative solution? Is this person capable of forgiving and forgetting the problems and transgressions encountered?  Despite differences in perceptions, is this person capable of holding and maintaining a way to generate a positive solution for all involved?  Is this person allowing themselves to grow due to this problem?  Is this person transmuting negative into positive- can they make me see a field of roses when all that&#8217;s really there right now is a heap of dog poo?</p>
<p><strong>Default Creator or </strong><strong>Deliberate</strong><strong> Creator? </strong>Does this person have a habit of causing drama in personal and professional spheres?Are lower energy vibrations of Lust, Greed, Anger creating this persons existence?  Is it easier for this person to be who they are now because to be who they really want to be would require some type of upheaval or change, something they are both afraid and fearful of?</p>
<p>Do unwanted things happen to this person, or does this person allow only positive to exist in their life- exemplified by the last few years in this persons personal history.  Is this person setting goals, and can easily tell me where they&#8217;ll be in 2, 5, 7, or 10 years from now?  Is this person sensing me as a welcome addition to their environment and space, or, am I an unwelcome guest/intruder?</p>
<p><strong>Head based or Heart based Thinking? </strong>Does this person make logical, sound, and informed decisions? Does this person easily draw others into arguments?  Does this person exemplify Aristotelian traits-  finding safety and comfort in the known, structured, and stable explanations? Does this person get easily upset, angered, or aggrieved? Does this person change over time? Does this person do what&#8217;s best for only themselves?</p>
<p>Are the subtle nuances of this persons speech (oral or body) indicative of a passion or a drive to something positive, and,  Do they believe it&#8217;s something positive to them? Is this person Socratic- finding safety and comfort in the unknown, unstructured, and unstable explanations, allowing those explanations to change over time and with different people? Is this person capable of doing things for others, freely and willingly?</p>
<p><strong>Self Destructive or Self Constructive? </strong>Does this persons habits and actions cause decay and neglect? Is this persons health (emotional, mental, physical) in a precarious position?  Does this person knock down others or make rude comments about others?  Does this person disrespect themselves and/or me? Does this person often utter negative statements about themselves and their lives? Does this person even know if they are on a path? Does this person play  well with others?</p>
<p>Is this person well-groomed, physically and mentally, have they reached a comfortable balance in their lives? Is this person positively building others with compliments and positive observations? Does this person allow themselves to accept constructive criticism? Does this person have a path to follow, and are they following it? Are others enhanced and grow due to this persons actions and words?</p>
<p><strong>Love based or Fear based Actions? </strong>Does this person undertake actions from a standpoint of lack or need? Do they do what they do to fill a void? Does this person harbor some secret joy at the failure of others? Does this person think the same as the Group? Does this person need proof of Faith as exhibited by some miracle or answer to a prayer?  Does this person hold others in a prison of their hate? Does this person consistently call in  sick, are they always late? Are they plagued with worries?</p>
<p>Is this person capable of composing and directing thoughts towards abundance? Does this person get excited when good things happen to others?  Is this person thinking for themselves? Is this person seeing the miracles of their Deliberate Creation around them, and telling me what they are? Is this person loving life and all that it has to offer? Is this person carefree?</p>
<p>See a common thread in these Types?  The framework used in constructing and idealizing these Types- where I was coming from when I realized one type and another, then a lack of one Type which necessitated another-  is simple:</p>
<p>The only lesson and teacher is love;</p>
<p>We are all vibrational energy beings;</p>
<p>There is only change; and,</p>
<p>We get what we want whether we want it or not and whether we know it or not.</p>
<p>Keep in mind, this list of Types has been under construction for about 20 years.  Maybe someone else with different life experiences than I may quantize these Types in some other Archetypal manner or fashion- but for me, these are the basic vibrations of 20 years worth of dealing and interacting with people.  These Types have remained the same whether I encountered them as a lowly Army private, or now, as a professional consultant of I.T. Policy and I.T. Acquisition.   If they don&#8217;t work for you or seem right to you, then modify them to something that does- this is the 5 Type Modality.  When discovering these Types for yourself, you will also be led to understand and know more about yourself.</p>
<p>When you can see your own 5 Types, or 6 Types, or 20 Types, then not only will you have a good basis of how to interact and react to them, but you&#8217;ll also have a better knowledge of how to interact and react with yourself- along your own personal Journey of Creation.</p>
<p>Need more help or advice?</p>
<p>Big Hugs!</p>

This has to be one of the easiest money modalities anyone can do!
It can be done everytime you use your cash or checks.  The only difficult part of it is, is that you&#8217;ll have to remember to do it.  Once you&#8217;re in the habit of it, you&#8217;ll find yourself doing it every time.
What we give [...]]]></description>

<p>This has to be one of the easiest money modalities anyone can do!</p>
<p>It can be done everytime you use your cash or checks.  The only difficult part of it is, is that you&#8217;ll have to remember to do it.  Once you&#8217;re in the habit of it, you&#8217;ll find yourself doing it every time.</p>
<p>What we give out to our environment, we&#8217;ll attract.  What we offer, will be vibrationally matched.  This is the essence of the Law of Attraction.  We&#8217;ve all heard the sayings about Karma coming back to us 3 times, or 7&#8230; or 11.  We probably all remember this gem from the Bible; you&#8217;ll reap what you sow.</p>
<p>This simple modality is the easiest way to shift your mind set and energies to a state of allowing and accepting what you&#8217;d really like to manifest in your life.</p>
<p><strong>Bless your Money. </strong></p>
<p>Anytime you&#8217;re about to hand someone cash&#8230; buying something, loaning it to someone, donating it to a worthy cause, tipping a server at a restaurant, the kids allowance&#8230;  Bless it, first.  You need not say anything at all, or even let on to the other person that you&#8217;re blessing it.  This modality is for and you alone.</p>
<p>For me, I&#8217;ve found that the easiest way to do this is by visualizations.  I imagine a small sphere of white light, like the size of a cue ball, and contained within are all my blessings and prayers.  Usually, I try to see the other person before me, about to receive my cash, and quickly think, what is living life to <em>their</em> full potential mean, to them?  I visualize a simple stream of white light from my heart into that cue ball of prayers and blessings and let it surround the money I&#8217;m about to hand over, grateful and thankful that my small prayer may  help them towards whatever it is they are seeking.</p>
<p>The last few years I&#8217;ve never had more money flow into my life.  This modality helped, but there were others I used as well.  However, this is one of my favorites because it can be done as often as you deal in cash or checks.</p>
<p>However you choose to Bless your Money will be perfect, for you. Just remember to do so when the time comes.</p>
<p><em>What are we really doing</em>?  We&#8217;re creating a vibration that will, and always will be, matched by the Universe.  Because we are sending out blessings, we are also receiving blessings. 3 times over.  7 times over.  11 times over&#8230; whatever you want to believe.   The simple act of Blessing your Money is really an energy exchange.  You&#8217;re infusing and embedding your cash, something that has become part of your vibrational energy, with blessings and prayers.  Regardless of your current emotional state at the time of doing this, it remains an act of love to bless and pray for someone else- maybe someone you&#8217;ve never seen or met before.  Your action, is then, love based.  Because you have allowed love to act through you, you create a vibration that will attract more love to you.</p>
<p>Wait- this is about Money, right?  How&#8217;d this simple modality turn all new-agey? It works or it doesn&#8217;t, right?</p>
<p>Because you&#8217;ve infused your Blessings and Prayers into the money you&#8217;re handing someone, and money is the physical medium with which you are allowing your Energy visualizations to manifest through, then you are allowing those same Blessings to be returned to you in that same medium.</p>
<p>Cash and Checks worked for me while I was living overseas, but this modality can be applied to any concept of &#8220;Money&#8221;.   Credit Cards, Paypal, you name it.  While the latter may prevent you from dealing with someone in person, or conduct business personally, you can still visualize the person, or even company, and perform the modality.</p>
<p>Play around with it.  See how easy it is.  Then, see how easily it&#8217;s shifting your perceptions about money, and wealth.  It may even assist you in being picky about who you give your money to, <em>whom and what you choose to bless and send your Energy to</em>.</p>
<p>Still don&#8217;t think it will work for you?  Then try this, instead:  Do the modality, and directly afterward make a strong intention&#8230; &#8220;I intend to be blessed with money in the next 24 hours&#8221;, or whatever intention is best for you.  Who knows, maybe you&#8217;ll get a sign or an answer, a response&#8230; you&#8217;ll find a $10 bill in a parking lot; you&#8217;ll get an unexpected check in the mail; anything&#8217;s possible.</p>
<p>If you try.</p>
<p>Intend Big!</p>

For those that&#8217;ll need a few weeks or years (like myself..ok, over a decade) for that tidbit of Universal energy to sink in, maybe, for now, you can just accept it and read on to see if the following resonates with you.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&quot;">Transformation: Step 1</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&quot;"><strong><br />
</strong>Know your starting base- what do you begin with?  What do you bring to the table.  What is positive and what is negative to you?  What would you like to change?  what would you like to improve on.  I&#8217;ve suggested this to others before, it&#8217;s something free to use. MyPersonality.com will gauge just what it is youre bringing to the table.  Where do you fall?  How are other systems classifying you?  What? you cant be classified?  We all feel that way&#8230; then, of course- logically- we&#8217;d all be classified into the same group right?  If you think it&#8217;s unjust or discriminatory to be classified or judged- it&#8217;s happening every day that you are alive. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&quot;">You cant control peoples thoughts or emotions but you can control how you present yourself, act, and react. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&quot;">Indeed, these are the only things you can control.  Because they are things that you can control with your decisions, and only you are responsible for them. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&quot;">Then, if we&#8217;re controlling our own decisions and manifesting and creating our own reality, we should be able to know at what energy our choices resonate and vibrate. Right? That would be important to know, because those choices would attract other Energy of the same resonance TO us.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&quot;">Knowing our own resonance, how we infuse our choices with Energy&#8230;that would be ideal, yes- but, do we know how to shift or change that resonance? Maybe we&#8217;re struggling to reach that point, or, we can reach the point, but then slide into the same energy we had before. Maybe&#8230;.just because it&#8217;s living Life in a different way than we have before, it&#8217;s a little tough at first?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&quot;">Are you Happy? Are you filled with passion? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&quot;">Are you donig your Life&#8217;s work?  If so, do you have that feeling that you could be doing more of, in different ways&#8230;but, and&#8230;</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&quot;">Heal Yourself: Step 2 </span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&quot;">Whatever your views on the field of Chiropractitioners may be, consider this:  When they align your spine to alleviate whatever symptom you may be having, it is aligned to where it needs to be.  The following days, your muscles (and even plain habits of posture) tense up and tighten to force the bones of your spine back into its &#8220;original&#8221; state.  So, you have your spine realigned. Again.  The spine will remain in an aligned state, only until your muscles snap themselves, slowly, back to the unaligned state of your spine.  It&#8217;s the same with our Energy, and what we are resonating with, but to a different degree.  Reiki Practioners, LightWorkers, Intuitives, and other branches of the healing spiritual arts can realign and repattern your Energy.   However, your own patterns, habits, decisions, and choices may bring you back to where you were.  There are some wonderful Energy and Light Practitioners across the world that can help you help yourself to change your own Energy.  If that&#8217;s what youre after.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&quot;">Have a Blessed and Wonderful day.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&quot;">Big Hugs,</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Giving energy to thought of something not working out how we planned or desired can actually hold us back.<span> </span>When it becomes a habit towards a particular thought, it then becomes a worry.<span> </span>Worries are not obstacles, worries are distractions- and even worse, counterintuitive.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">When we concentrate on why things aren’t working out, why we aren’t getting what we want, why this or that has gone wrong… we are allowing more of the same to exist in our environment and we then experience MORE worries.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">If we have faith in ourselves and Source, Spirit- what we’ve allowed to be in our environment… can we really worry?<span> </span>When we worry, we are telling our environment “No, wait- I still want control over this thing that I desire or would like to have… I haven’t FULLY released it from myself yet to allow it to happen.<span> </span>I’m still holding onto the thought of NOT having it, or it NOT being exactly what I wanted or visualized!”<span> </span>And of course, you are allowed to hold onto it as long as you need- if you want to refine the visualization process, you may.<span> </span>But as long as you refuse to accept it in any other way than what you visualize precisely (as well as exhaustively), it may never come to be.   It doesn&#8217;t mean the Law of Attraction does not work.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">When we worry, we are really telling ourselves “I don’t have faith that it can happen”.<span> </span>Achieving what we want is releasing what we want.<span> </span>If we hold onto thoughts and feelings of what we choose, desire, want, would like… we will never get what we want, choose, desire, or would like.<span> </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Perhaps, simply by desiring something or wanting something, Spirit or Source will bring that to us- only if we allow it.<span> </span>We cannot allow it, when we tell it “I want it this way… precisely”<span>.  Source responds to the Energy we imbue our desires with.  Are our desires or intentions dripping with anxiety and desperation?  Ok, Source will return that to us.  &#8220;Oh, you like NOT having this or that because you like to control it by worrying about it&#8230; ok, you can have more of the same!&#8221;, Source responds to us!  If we imbue our desires, intents, wishes, and blessings with the Energy of gratitude for already receiving it, making it present in our life now, the Source will gladly respond in kind, and we will create this or that in our environment.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">“I only want to be in love if the other person is 5’5” , under 120 pounds, makes six figures, has a Masters degree, and so on”<span> </span>What if Spirit would like us to bring someone that is 5’3” and only has a Bachelors degree?!<span> </span>Will we be particular and reject what it brings us simply because we cannot or will not compromise and be flexible?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">We like to worry because it is a distraction that hinders us from what we would really like to achieve… Worries deprive us of our connection to Source.  Worries reinforce to us that we are not in control of the matter we are worrying about, when nothing could be further than the truth!<span> </span>Than why worry?<span> </span>Worries take up our time and prevent us from experiencing something that we would really like to enjoy. That something to enjoy has the ulterior motive of changing our lives in one direction or another.<span> </span>Maybe we perceive that change as positive or negative, but we know it is change. It is an unknown until we can experience it.<span> </span>Maybe it&#8217;s nice living in the groove I&#8217;ve created for myself! Why would we want to change at all? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">It&#8217;s ok to worry. It&#8217;s not ok for worries to engulf your being, your presence, your Energy.  You can live differently if you so choose.  Whatever happens will happen whether you exert Energy by worrying about it or not.  Wouldnt it feel better, for once, to just let it happen in it&#8217;s own way?!</p>

<p>If you are plagued by worries about one thing or another, take 5 minutes out of your day to relax and regain your breathing.  Contemplate this:  The Tao Te Ching tells us to be flexible, like a Bamboo Shoot.  Things that aren&#8217;t will break.<span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">No Worries, I have faith that you can exorcise your worries out of your Life!</span></p>
