<p>Gentle reminders of different ways to deal with others&#8230;  You may have seen this list floating into your email.  Sure, it may take a few minutes to read, but implementing these reminders may take some of us a lifetime to do.  Too often, we tend to forget those little pearls of wisdom plastered on our &#8216;fridge, or those thoughts scribbled down in a notebook somewhere, or that tidbit of wisdom our parents shared with us.  When the thoughts like this or thought over and over again, they become habits, and when habits are practiced over and over, they become beliefs, a way to live our life by&#8230;</p>
<p>ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully</p>
<p>TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to.. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.</p>
<p>THREE. Don&#8217;t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.</p>
<p>FOUR. When you say, &#8216;I love you ,&#8217; mean it.</p>
<p>FIVE. When you say, &#8216;I&#8217;m sorry,&#8217; look the person in the eye</p>
<p>SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.</p>
<p>SEVEN.. Believe in love at first sight.</p>
<p>EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone&#8217;s dream. People who don&#8217;t have dreams don&#8217;t have much.</p>
<p>NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it&#8217;s the only way to live life completely.</p>
<p>TEN&#8230; In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.</p>
<p>ELEVEN. Don&#8217;t judge people by their relatives&#8230;</p>
<p>TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly..</p>
<p>THIRTEEN&#8230; When someone asks you a question you don&#8217;t want to answer, smile and ask, &#8216;Why do you want to know?&#8217;</p>
<p>FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.</p>
<p>FIFTEEN. Say &#8216;bless you&#8217; when you hear someone sneeze.</p>
<p>SIXTEEN. When you lose, don&#8217;t lose the lesson!</p>
<p>SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R&#8217;s: Respect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions.</p>
<p>EIGHTEEN. Don&#8217;t let a little dispute injure a great friendship&#8230;</p>
<p>NINETEEN. When you realize you&#8217;ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.</p>
<p>TWENTY.  Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.</p>
<p>TWENTY-ONE.  Spend some time alone..</p>
<p><em><span style="color: #a1a1a1;">Now, for my two cents&#8230;.</span><br />
</em><br />
TWENTY-TWO:  Be gentle with yourself.  You wouldn&#8217;t be experiencing obstacles in your life unless at some point you made a decision to change.</p>
<p>TWENTY-THREE: Write your goals down every day for a month.  In the end, only you can motivate yourself to the vision of greatness you have for yourself.</p>
<p>TWENTY-FOUR: There aren&#8217;t any victims.  Whatever you may think is holding you back is actually the subject of your attention.  Stop paying it attention and concentrate on what you do want instead.</p>
<p>TWENTY-FIVE: Being religious is not necessarily being spiritual, and being spiritual does not mean being religious.  Be yourself first, then let everything else flow from that.</p>
<p>TWENTY-SIX:  Thank your enemies for the lessons they bring (<a href="http://www.lyricsdepot.com/beastie-boys/bodhisattva-vow.html">Siddhartha, as translated by the Beastie Boys</a>)</p>
<p>TWENTY-SEVEN: What you resist, persists; What you fear, you draw near.</p>
<p>What do you feel/think has been left off the list?</p>
<p>Big Hugs,</p>
<p>J.Henry</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_505" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.azpano.com/gal_fog_monster.html"><img class="size-medium wp-image-505" title="fog_monster_1024" src="http://shiftedenergy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/fog_monster_1024-300x96.jpg" alt="Fog Monster, G.

<p>One common theme that has consistently been brought up during my various sessions of Resonance Repatterning and Consultations among recent clients from the Internet Marketing world has been Greed.  I offer these types of sessions to this specific market as IM&#8217;ers are very open to the idea of getting their Inner Game aligned to experience profund success in thier Outer Game- this makes them very receptive to the ideas of Energy and how Energy works and flows through us.</p>
<p>Greed isn&#8217;t so much wanting more and more even though we may have so much already- that&#8217;s normal.  That&#8217;s being simply human.  We all foster needs and wants and desires that cause us to expand, that&#8217;s just Life.  Greed is something else entirely- an idea, a perception that has been mis-translated and barely understood.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s ok to want&#8230; it&#8217;s perfectly natural.  Buddha even acknowledges this when he delivered his Lotus Sutra on Eagle Mountain .  He tells all present that have been studying him and his other Sutras that the idea of nirvana and obtaining it, by eliminating desire, is itself a desire- a wanting, a longing.  Only with that desire is one able to expand and grow.  By explaining to others that their quest of not wanting desires, was itself a desire, he allowed an intricate explanation of human nature to be told through a spiritual perspective.  Indeed, the more desires one has, the more one will expand and grow- but they are doing so because of the desire, not due to it.  <em>It&#8217;s an important distinction.</em></p>
<p>Greed is having all you need to be happy, right here and right now and also being able to get to other places of happiness, <em>but not using those resources <strong>and then asking for more to do what you already can.</strong></em></p>
<p>Why would anyone even need to be greedy?  Good question, glad you asked&#8230;</p>
<p>a) Because they don&#8217;t know they are already capable of doing whatever it is they want to do, and,</p>
<p>b) Because they don&#8217;t know all the tools, people, and events needed to do what they want to do are already lined up and waiting to be a part of that action.</p>
<p>Need some &#8220;real&#8221; world examples?</p>
<p><em>Warranties and Gurantees</em>:  Since I  still spend <a href="http://shiftedenergy.com/?p=284">a few hours each week</a> dealing with I.T. policy and I.T acquisitions, reviewing applicable codes, laws, and regulations, warranties and guarantees remain one of the most costly unnecessary expenditures in budgets I see.  Warranties make the purchasing agent and managing buyers have a warm and fuzzy feel good selling point.  If something goes wrong with the hardware or software, hey- &#8220;it&#8217;s covered&#8221;.  Are warranties and extended coverage plans really worth the 1.2 million on an 11 million contract?  No, but we have a great feeling about the product because we can plan our life cycle costs around the fact that we&#8217;ll use this hardware/software for the next 5 years.  Hmmm&#8230; why not expand your I.T. section with one an extra technician ($55,000/yr) for 5 years ($275,000 plus health care, taxes, etc) whose sole job is hardware/software maintenance on that equipment and send that person to the vendor&#8217;s training to become certified on that product (up to $45,000.00 in fees).</p>
<p>The Vendor is exploiting that natural Greed in the buyer.  Selling something extra (warranty) on top of a product also exploits ignorance.  If the product is already a valued product, then it should work, and it should perform.  Selling a warranty with it is slight admission that maybe it&#8217;s not that valuable, or won&#8217;t perform the way the Vendor says it should.  However, The buyer and The Vendor alreadyknow that a small percentage of the prodcut, over a period of time, will break down- it&#8217;s just simple statistics.  The Vendor is simply promising to do what the Buyer could do (with the extra I.T. tech) if &#8220;something&#8221; happens&#8230; see, Greed is a two way street.   The Buyer is purchasing something based on a perception of lack, not abundance- &#8220;this product will eventually break&#8221; instead of &#8220;this is a product I value and it will perform how I need it to&#8221;.</p>
<p><em>The one that got away:</em> We should all be able to relate to this example&#8230;  the girlfriend/boyfriend/job/buisness that we just couldnt hold on to.  Somehow, it left our lives and left us clamoring to get it back.  the loss of it really affected us, and often we didn&#8217;t even see the loss of it coming.  We feebly try to replace it once we know we can&#8217;t obtain it again, yet that action too fails.  Greed in this case is a matter of ignorance, in not knowing that although the original object we lost may be unobtainable, we can still manifest what we would like- and often do once we &#8220;let go&#8221; of that original object.  However, we remain too confused and unclear and focused solely on re-obtaining what is no longer there, allowing our actions to be based on lack.</p>
<p><em>The silver bullet: </em>The myth we create for ourselves that &#8220;everything&#8221; will be all right and ok, when and only when, this one Action is successfully done.  &#8220;I can retire early if&#8230;.&#8221;, &#8220;I&#8217;ll be rich if&#8230;.&#8221;, &#8220;She&#8217;ll be ok if&#8230;&#8221;, &#8220;I won&#8217;t lose my house if&#8230;&#8221;.  It&#8217;s pure Greed as it places the onus of responsibility on that action itself, instead of where it needs to be, on ourselves.  It allows us the subliminal thought process that indeed nothing right now is ok or all right until this action is completed successfully, that I am myself not ok or all right until this one action is successfully ompleted.</p>
<p>There is a common theme in these examples:  <em>How greed is applied and manipulated through our actions.</em></p>
<p>Lack Based Actions and Fear Based Actions are actions we undertake from a point of, of course, lack and fear.  We&#8217;re doing something becuase we know we don&#8217;t have something.  This can only allow struggles and obstacles, hardships and defeat.  Paddling upstream hard enough may eventually get us to our goal, but too often we get caught up in the power of it, and it pushes us further downstream.</p>
<p>Inspired Actions are actions undertaken when everything in our reality tells us to undertake it.  You may be thinking of writing a book, and several people in a month might mention to you that you should write a book or a book, email, pamphlet may come into your reality explaining it&#8217;s never easier these days to write a book and how you can do it&#8230;  Inspired actions are the easiest because they are literally the path of least resistance&#8230; it just feels natural to do it.</p>
<p>When Actions are undertaken with a sense of greed, they tend to usually fail.  When Actions are undertaken with a sense of being inspired to do it, they tend to usually succeed.</p>
<p>Take any field, any career path, any person that is successfully doing what they are doing, and you&#8217;ll notice that they&#8217;re doing it because they love it, because they were inspired to do it, and by doing it, it is inspiring them to do even other and greater things.  They are loving what they do, otherwise they wouldnt be doing it.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not doing what you love, if you&#8217;re not being inspired to do things you love, then why?  Can it be traced back to the state of perception you undertake your actions with?  If so, then why? If things are hard and unbearable and filled with obstacles, then why are you choosing the path of most resistance?</p>
<p>What specifically, is disallowing you from traveling the path of least resistance to your goal, desire, objective?  The easiest objections to this statement are the ones that are probably causing the hardest obstacles to appear.</p>
<p>For exmaple, &#8220;I&#8217;d love to travel the world, but, I have a mortgage payment each month and have to work.&#8221;  His  real desire was to travel yet he couldn&#8217;t because he had a &#8220;normal&#8221; job he didn&#8217;t particularly like- ironically, in the travel industry.  His primary Desire was coming through loud and clear, and he thought that by working for that industry he&#8217;d be able to travel, yet this wasn&#8217;t the case.  So, after four sessions over a three month period, he realized that traveling was his inspired action.  He was able to sell his house with realtive ease in the current D.C. market, quit his job, and is following the detailed mind map of all the places he&#8217;d like to see.  With his knowledge of the travel industry he beaome an independent travel agent to several online companies- a self owned business he can perform anywhere in the world with internet access.  Additionally, he&#8217;s discovering multiple streams of revenue by capitalizing on his travel experiences by writing (and monetizing) different blogs related to travel and specific geographic regions.  He&#8217;s &#8220;working&#8221; about 4 &#8211; 6 hours a day while travleing across the world.  He&#8217;s done all this in the last 5 months.  Do you see how &#8220;Greed&#8221; was actually preventing him from his goal in the first place?  He wanted to travel the world, but couldn&#8217;t, because he didn&#8217;t believe in himself enough.  In the end, Chad&#8217;s doing great for himself.</p>
<p>Another recent example, &#8220;I  need to be at home with my daughter but have to work so much I can&#8217;t.&#8221;  This single Mother of one lameneted her dismay to me at never having enough time to be with her 4 year old.  During the first session with her, she even complained that she should be spending that hour with her daughter instead of me.  Her desire was more time with her daughter, her reality was that she never had that time- and she didn&#8217;t.  Her position required 10 &#8211; 20 hours of overtime each week.  She wasn&#8217;t worried about money, she had that and was quite affluent.  We spent three sessions over a two month period together.  Once she &#8220;gave in&#8221; to her primary Desire, an opening in her firm came open- one that paid a little less and had less responsibility.  At the same time, she inquired into openings at a competitors firm, and was offered a similar position. She approached her Regional Director with a solution to her problem (which alone takes a great amount of intestinal fortitude), allow her to slowly transition into this other position while working from home, or she would work for a competitor.  Guess what that Regional director chose.  While she&#8217;s still working (from home), it&#8217;s only a few hours each day and she can spend the remainder of the time with her daughter.  She was so caught up in the Desire of what she wanted, she didnt know that she alone could provide herself the answer to her steps of Inspired Action.</p>

<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>

Questions to ask to make sure youre getting the value you need...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-326" title="AZ_MTNS" src="http://shiftedenergy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/AZ_MTNS-300x129.jpg" alt="AZ_MTNS" width="300" height="129" />Have you seen the ads in your email? Have you been beleagured by people telling you about Life coaches, Professional Intuitives, or Mentors?  Have you used the services of one already?</p>
<p>Many have been quoting obscure  &#8220;facts&#8221; and &#8220;statistics&#8221; regarding the potential of change when using Life Coaches, etc., in your personal life.  Many Corporations even hire them to teach, train, and motivate their staff.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re considering using the services of one, here&#8217;s a quick list of the 10 things you should consider about the person<strong> before</strong> engaging their services:</p>
<p>1.) Did they come to you or did you come to them?  Were they highly recommended and did you seek out their services, or are they offering their services to the multitudes via some email marketing campaign?</p>
<p>2.) Do they offer a free consultation? Do they have an abundance of material (blogs, ebooks, audio) freely available on their website from which you can gauge the quality of their work?</p>
<p>3.) If they are a professional Life Coach do they belong to any organizations that support and foster the Life Coaching community? They are many &#8220;certifications&#8221; that take only 2 days to obtain- is this coach one of them? How long have they been certified, and how long have they been practicing?  If not, what qualifies them to be a Life Coach? Likewise, does your potential professional intuitive have any certifications or belong to any organizations?  Is it something they are doing full time, or are they still in the process of learning?</p>
<p>4.) Do they explain their particular process of assisting you in an informative manner, and, did they adhere to this when they provided their services to you?</p>
<p>5.) Do they practice what they preach?  Do they walk their own walk?  Do they take their own medicine or simply &#8220;advise&#8221; people on what they think is best for them?  For example, if you&#8217;re consulting with a wealth/abundance/money manifestation Life Coach or intuitive, are they themselves financially abundant?</p>
<p>6.) Do they use terms and phrases that contain the words: No, Don&#8217;t, Can&#8217;t, Never?</p>
<p>7.) Do you receive a good feeling from them? Can you trust their advice? Do they follow through with you?</p>
<p>8.) Do you place value on their work because you pay them?  Would their work still hold meaning to you if you had paid nothing? $500? $1000?</p>
<p>9.) Did they oversell?  Did they try to offer you another service or schedule another appointment for you?  Is their primary intention to be paid, or, to be of assistance to you?</p>
<p>10.) Would you recommend them to someone else?</p>
<p>There are some amazing Energy workers in the world today.  There are also some that shouldnt be in the profession at all.  Use your best judgment when selecting someone to assist you.</p>
<p>Just for an example, here is an extremely short list of some of the best I&#8217;ve seen, encountered, or worked with&#8230; (and no, I&#8217;m not receiving anything for promoting these individuals)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.paulakawal.com/">Paula Kawal</a><br />

<p>Do you need help or advice on whom to choose to assist you? Drop me a line, I&#8217;d love to help.</p>
<p>Happy Choosing!</p>

			<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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-389" title="sniper" src="http://shiftedenergy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/sniper-300x196.jpg" alt="sniper" width="300" height="196" />Boiled down to it, I really get paid for just a few hours work each week.  The rest of the time? I&#8217;m watching, listening, waiting&#8230; and getting a lot of personal work done too.  How I&#8217;ve done this can be applied to almost any profession, and most entrepreneurs have realized this too.</p>
<p><strong>Take care of your 50m targets before aiming at your 300m targets.</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s an old saying I picked up from my time in the military.  Tell this to any soldier, sailor, or marine and they will understand what you&#8217;re doing.  During combat, the most imminent danger is usually the danger that&#8217;s closest.  Are you having to fight hand-to-hand, or can you aim your weapon and pick off targets at a distance?</p>
<p>Getting away from the context of war and combat, the saying is still applicable to our daily lives.  What&#8217;s most present in your situation or environment that needs attention or a focus of your Energy?  Are these the little things that have added up to a calamity that&#8217;s now become a &#8220;Big&#8221; thing to deal with?</p>
<p>When shifting your Energy and your perspective what most people find is that there still exists some of the left over &#8220;turbulence&#8221; from what we&#8217;ve already created and are existing in.  These could be habits or addictions that are no longer needed, people in our environment that are no longer conducive nor congruent to our current resonance, or, doors in need of closure before another is opened.  It is often these causes that are a major contributor to a persons failure to maintain the momentum they&#8217;ve achieved by shifting their Energy to allow a goal or desire to be created or manifested.</p>
<p>The 300m target is your intention, your clearly stated goal, your &#8220;Want&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s getting in the way?&#8221;, and, &#8220;Why can&#8217;t I manifest or create?&#8221; or questions best answered by taking a look at your 50m targets.</p>
<p>By simply asking &#8220;What Actions must I begin or stop to align myself with my goal&#8221; you&#8217;ll provide yourself with a path of least resistance to your Goal.</p>
<p>So, how do I get paid large amounts of money for a few hours work?  What&#8217;s my personal example of this modality?  I shoot my 50m targets first.  I study and read to ensure that when I do work for a few hours I&#8217;m the most knowledgeable on the subject matter at hand.  If laws or regulations are involved, I study them to see what type of leeway and allowances can be made.  I know who the decision makers are beforehand, so I&#8217;m not dealing with someone incapable of deciding.  I speak to and with various individuals involved in the project, or on the fringes of the project to better assess the players and the playing field.  I gauge my particular chances of success as applicable to the project at hand.  Finally, when I do &#8220;work&#8221;, I deal with a handful of individuals and it&#8217;s relatively easy to bring them into agreement because I already know what their objections are, the reason they may object, and what counter arguments and persuasive examples I can offer as examples to facilitate my end result, a signed and official, legally binding document; which is my 300m target.  Now, for those interested- my 500m target- my long range goal, has always been to work a little while earning a lot.  Tackle your 50m targets and you can scope out your 300m targets, which gives you a lot of room to clearly see your 500m targets.</p>
<p>Need more examples or advice at how you can shoot your own 50m targets? Drop me a line&#8230;</p>
<p>I know you can change how you need to, if you need to.</p>
<p>Happy Shooting!</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.

<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>

<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Although he knew he would die soon, he forbid me from coming to his funeral.<span> </span>He just did not want me to see him laying dead in a coffin.<span> </span>He told me, “I’m not this body, and I don’t want you to remember me that way”.  He was 76 when we had that one sided discussion.  He was right.  I remember his fatherly, gentle and wise, friendly and outgoing embodiment of universal Energy.  I surround myself with that Energy when I thank him in my prayers for the lessons he shared with me.<br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> We are not our bodies. How true, now that I understand it.<span> </span>It wasn&#8217;t an easy lesson for me to digest because Grandad was all family and love to me. We are only our spirit, our soul in our body. Our body is all we have, right now, but this too will change.<br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><strong>We are far more than our bodies are capable of containing.</strong><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">We are spirits encased in flesh.<span> </span>We live from life to life and are the accumulation of all that we have experienced in every life we have ever lived.<span> </span>Whether we allow ourselves to open to that soulful knowledge is a choice we each make, or don’t. It doesn&#8217;t matter.  Really. Accepting the soulful perspective that we are share croppers on the fields of our fleshy nature, plowing and sowing experiences onto our spirit  in the field of Energy that we call this Universe, can be quite the eye opening revelation.<br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Religion and spirituality are not codependent.<span> </span>One does not need the other to exist.<span> </span>Both can exist separate from the other. Both can exist together.<span> </span>There are many religious people void of spirituality, their practice has become hollow gestures and rituals, glass shards in trash heaps. Yet, they are happy with this. There are many religious people that are spiritual.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Likewise, there are many spiritual people void of religious inclinations, yet, have found a way to peace and happiness, Source and Spirit.<span> </span>Maybe religion assisted them to that point?<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">There are religions void of their spirituality, and there are forms of spirituality that no religion can bind or include.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">For the most part, one particular question is brought to each religion by it’s adherents or disciples.<span> </span><em> </em></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><strong><em>What happens to us when we die</em>.</strong><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">It is a fundamental question and many religions explain their perspective to us, through books and verses, priests and holy men.<span> </span>Indeed, answering this question becomes a fixated point to religion.<span> </span>This question is answered with variations on Heaven and Hell, Reincarnation, Paradise….</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">But wait!  Just WHY exactly are we asking THAT particualr question?!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">We ask religion this question because we tend to be more concerned with what will become of us instead of:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> <em>What becomes us</em>?<span><br />
</span></span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>What will happen to us?,  instead of,  What is happening to us</em>?<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-size:10pt;">How will we survive?, instead of,  How are we surviving now?</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Could it be we are approaching religion<span> </span>(and conversely, spirituality- as many find this through religion) with the wrong fundamental question? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><strong><em>What happens while we live</em>?! </strong><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Do we want to know how to live so that we can die in a manner that allows us the benefits of a religions idea of where “good” people go? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Or, do we bring the right question to religions table and ask it “How do we live to live good while here, to live in a manner that allows Spirit and Source to manifest from us, to flow from us?”<span> </span>You see, even if you don’t believe in reincarnation…, isn’t the best way to serve a religion by serving it’s God?<span> </span>What better way to serve God by allowing the creators work to manifest through you in this field of Energy that we call Life, Now, Here.<br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Is religion or our perception of Spirit, Source flawed? Are we flawed?<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">We are perfect because we are the creations of the universe, God lives through us and in our experiences! Maybe we don&#8217;t &#8220;get it right&#8221;, but then again, maybe we&#8217;re learning a lesson to use in our next lives!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Have a Blessed Day!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Big hugs,</span></p>

<p>YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EMOTIONS OF OTHERS.</p>
<p>There.  That&#8217;s out.  It&#8217;s a relief, right?  You can not and do not &#8220;make&#8221; others&#8230;. happy, sad, disappointed, unloved, hateful.  If you are making others feel emotions that they, perhaps, would not feel otherwise, then consider the possibility that others also have the power over you to influence your own emotions.  It doesn&#8217;t have to be this way.</p>
<p>Maybe to some, this seems like a childish ruse.</p>
<p>&#8220;But, I make my wife, child, lover, partner, etc&#8230; Happy!&#8221;  No, you do not.</p>
<p>Your energy in their presence helps them to resonate with their own energy.  They are &#8220;happy &#8221; because they&#8217;ve allowed themselves to be, and could be happy regardless of the situation, place, or event.  However, they&#8217;ve chosen to be in your presence to resonate with that emotion, in this case- &#8220;Happiness&#8221;.</p>
<p>No one can &#8220;make&#8221; you Happy.  Or sad. Or whatever emotion you may be feeling.  You are the creator of your own story and reality, unsullied by what others may feel about you or about what you are doing.  Your emotions are your own. Your emotions are reflected in your actions (doing)  and your  reactions (being) and are indicative of your spiritual nature.</p>
<p>THE ONLY CONTROL WE HAVE IN LIFE IS OVER HOW WE REACT.</p>
<p>Big Hugs,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-404" title="turtlewisdom" src="http://shiftedenergy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/turtlewisdom-300x212.jpg" alt="turtlewisdom" width="300" height="212" />What&#8217;s the easiest way to change your Life, to REALLY shift your own Energy, to be a vibrational match with the blessings the Universe has to offer you?</p>
<p>This seems to be THE starting point for many people like you and I.  It was THE starting point for many, if not most, of the ascended masters.  While many religions veil this essential message in a cloud of obscurity, I learned this lesson through a young man named Siddhartha, who later became Shakyamuni&#8230; or,  Buddha.  I learned all about Buddha while languishing in a foreign prison, falsely accused of something I did not do.</p>
<p>To paraphrase, Buddha said this world is a veil of illusions.  Only we, as individuals, can part the veil to see the reality of it.  Until then, we remain silent observers, allowing the Illsuion to create and control our reality.  Many of his teachings were parables and analogies, later disclosed in the Lotus Sutra to be a type of ploy or ruse, used to allow those that can understand the meaning, a way to perceive of the meaning, without knowing they were doing so.  The Lotus Sutra was one of his last messages, his epiphanies to the masses both in this world and others.</p>
<p>THERE ARE NO VICTIMS.</p>
<p>Until we realize this, we cannot progress.  There are no victims because each one of us, whether consciously or unconsciously, are creating the very reality we exist in now, and in the future.</p>
<p>We, each one of us, are solely responsible for the Creation we have manifested and are manifesting.</p>
<p>Sure, it&#8217;s a lot to swallow at one time.  If there aren&#8217;t any victims, then just WHO do we blame when things go wrong in our life?  Wow- there&#8217;s just one person to point the finger at now, YOU.</p>
<p>If you can accept the fact that YOU have been creating your own bad luck, bad karma, accidents, etc., then&#8230; drum roll please, you are now free to accept the fact that YOU can and will, create your own good luck, good karma, safety, protection, abundance, prosperity, etc.</p>
<p>Before you begin to tell me that there ARE victims- in fatal traffic accidents, in school shootings, in gang wars, in military wars, in natural disasters&#8230; I would say that you are already negating the Energy of this lesson.  You are still thinking of a way to shift the &#8220;blame&#8221; and &#8220;responsibility&#8221; onto someone.  Stop it, please.  Accept the bad and the good, these things are now past.  When you realize there are no victims, that you alone are responsible for yourself, your life, your causes and your effects, the Universe will meet you half way and take you to the other parts of the lesson it feels would most benefit you.</p>
<p>If I can say it- and do it-  I know you can.  Why? I still have every reason to blame my false, years long incarceration in a foreign prison, on a corrupt judicial system, slander of others, Anti-Americanism, etc.  I choose not to.  It wasn&#8217;t an easy task. I created that experience for myself and the lessons I learned from it, and during it, are now invaluable to me.</p>
<p>I hope you bring yourself *easier* lessons to learn!</p>
<p>Big Hugs,</p>
<p>J. Henry</p>
