In Gratitude - A Story of Ego

Last night when I was working late, a young couple started yelling and screaming below my window. Curious I observed them in their anger, only because of what the girl was saying I wanted to make sure she was OK: “I want to die.” “I want someone to come out of that building and shoot you in the head” “Get away from me” "You are going to find me dead in the morning" 
He throws her phone and camera to the ground which I hear break into pieces. 
She yells “You just broke my camera and my phone!” "You are such an idiot and a loser!" “You’ve ruined my life.” “You are a loser and a drunk who can’t even finish college” “Admit that you are addicted to alcohol" ….  

This got him pissed and he started screaming back. “You want to die,  I want to die too! Let’s kill ourselves together. Let's kill ourselves together!” “I’m not a drunk and I'm not addicted to alcohol.” (As he completely slurs every word) ...

Then she started attacking his family. “You are just like your loser family and your loser alcoholic dad …”  

Then he chimed in …  "F-ck you!" "Who are you? It's like I don't know this girl" (I thought it was interesting that he asked this question as she was screaming and freaking out - it's her pain body taking over, mixing with his) “You are just a little princess bitch who gets everything she wants and you wouldn’t have anything if your Dad didn’t work. Your family would be poor and living on the street.”  ...

Then she says …. “I don’t get everything I want. I hate you get away from me. Give me my sweater! Why are you not giving me my stuff?”  “You are going to find me dead! Dead on the street in the morning. I want to die!”  ...

Then he threw their key on the ground, which broke.  ...

She yelled at him - “Is that our key? Why did you break our key to the room? You are such an idiot. I hate when you are drunk.” ...

As the conversation got more and more intense and angry, I realized I was witnessing two pain bodies hungrily attacking each other, searching for more juicy tidbits to feed their ever growing egos with pain nuggets to hurt each other with. The ego’s were desperately fighting with each other, tearing down each other with hurt, and despite it, the girl would not run away … she stayed there and took the pain… and the boy would not let her go without following her…..  

Then if by miracle an older disabled woman was walking down the street. She said: “Excuse me. Let’s not fight anymore. There was a girl killed just down the street in the parking lot a year ago, I don’t want it to happen again. Are you ok girl?” The girl hesitantly said yes … in a tone that clearly said no. The boy immediately responded… after “We love each other very much. I love my girlfriend.” “Give her a hug then. I want to see it.” The woman said. He hugged her, but she did not hug back. “There’s no reason to fight like that. And I think there are people in these offices, see the light? You don’t want them to call the police.” The woman informed them.

The couple left right after, but I was left in my head thinking about the intensity that the pain bodies were putting themselves through.  I was able to see it from a distance, and the separation helped me see the bigger picture. I realized that I’ve lost it like those two before … blaming each other for each other’s problems. They were not looking at themselves or their inflamed egos to blame. For example, the boy obviously had issues. He denied he had any problem with alchohol, his pain body mind telling him he doesn’t; he is blind to his own unconsciousness.

Take a look in your own life or in others to see how pain body egos attach and make elaborate stories to make us believe. Kind of what’s going on with our government?  Smoke and Mirrors! Wake up and remind yourself that you are not your pain body or your EGO. Your Ego was created in your mind and if you detach from it you will be in source. So take away the pain, take away the fights, take away the judgment of others and yourself, take away the blame, and you will be free of your egoic mind.

In Gratitude - my extremely exciting life

I’d write about my extremely exciting life…. 

But honestly … there are times when I like to be quiet, reclusive and dig into self-study to reclaim my own personal power again. Often when I over-exert myself in life, I find myself in hermit mode. I find nothing wrong with this .. and I know that others probably do the same. This time I learned so much overwhelming info; I overloaded the mother-load.

It’s the start of week three of eating only 21-layer salad and working out with a trainer… I feel great and strong, but I also feel weak and exhausted and gassy (yes gassy). Contradictions, I know. I am full of contradictions, because I can be everything! And I can switch like a light switch into a new mode … all it takes is one person or thing to switch me positive. Like my trainer helps me do this … ok I will work out today … again …. Hmmm, Will I stick with my word? I really feel like going back into my hermit cave … but what will that do? I know I will feel better with an exhausting workout. Why? Because. It just works like that.

But will I? If I don’t it’s a broken promise to myself. Except that I worked out this morning. Either way, at least I’m moving my body, looking and feeling better every time. 

It’s about practicing your own flow until you are able to flow naturally in the collective Source flow.

Elana's Freestyle Freeflow Poetry - There are days

There are days when I don’t know what to do.

There are days when I know what to do.

There are days when I follow my heart.

There are days when I lead with my mind.

But what I’ve found is that all the answers I seek

I seek within.

I connect with the source and I am at peace.

We all are free to live

Without our present societal curse.

Shed our fear,

Practice letting go, putting light first,

Stop the Fight, Let Go, and Go with the Flow.

 

xoxoxo -EG

Make no mistake - everything counts!

Every Day, pay attention 

to the way you 

think, speak and act. 

Every thought 

counts, 

every action

counts,
every word

counts.

Free yourself

Any miracle in the material world must be preceded by a miraculous change in your own character. Physical reality and human nature are intimately connected. When you create an extraordinary transformation within, the power allows the universe to externally express this inner change.

Free yourself from tiny bits of selfishness, envy, anger and self-pity. 

By rejecting these negative temptations, you will be free to ignite the power of miracles.

The Five Rules for Mind-Body Healing

The Five Rules for Mind-Body Healing

William Braud outlined five major mental techniques that he believed have important effects on the self-healing processes.

They include:

1. The need for relaxation and quietude.
2. Learning to focus your attention on one thing (e.g. breathing), which allows you to develop mental self-control and avoid distractions.(The above two points are achieved through meditation).
3. Learning visualization or imagery techniques since pictures are the preferred language of the mind.
4. Incorporating intent into the process, a wish for some goal to be reached and an expectation that it will.
5. The evocations of strong positive emotions during the healing process.

The Technique for Self-Healing

The following is the basic technique. The more advanced techniques are beyond the scope of this e-book.

The Basic Technique

1. Go to your alpha level of mind.

Get the Alpha audio below. This free audio will guide your mind to the relaxed alpha level which is suitable for mental healing.

Download this Audio File »

2. Visualize Your Current State of Health on Your Mental Screen.

We explained the mental screen in Chapter 4
Visualize the current condition of the body, including the ailment or pain that is bothering you. You do not need to memorize or know what each component of your body actually looks like. Simple pictures are enough to speak to your mind. A lung can be imagined as a balloon. A kidney can resemble a kidney bean. Create a representative picture of the ailment. Feel the emotions associated with this problem.

3. See Yourself Healing and Getting Better and Healthier.

Now visualize the ailment disappearing. Create, with your imagination, a system to remove the ailment.
Examples:

• Kidney stones can be crushed into harmless powder that is then excreted.
• Tumors can be visualized as large black blobs, while your immune system and white blood cells are visualized as tiny soldiers attacking the tumor. On each attack the tumor shrinks.
• A sore muscle can be bathed in an imaginary healing light that alleviates the pain and restores the muscle to a healthy state.

The exact image you use is irrelevant – create something that speaks to you. It does not have to be scientifically correct. It only has to be symbolic. Your subconscious mind will get the message.

4. Let the final picture be one of perfect health.

Feel the joy and energy of having perfect health. Imagine it to be true and already occurring.
It helps to say an affirmation such as:
“I have a perfectly healthy body and mind”
or
“My ______ is now functioning perfectly and is in a state of excellent health.”

5. Let Go.

Let go and trust your body’s self-healing ability. You can now come out of the alpha level. Trust that the healing action is taking place.

Please note that mental healing should not be used as a replacement for a visit to your doctor. Always consult a doctor first for serious health conditions. Mental healing is a type of complementary medicine – as the name suggests it is to be used alongside but not as a replacement for modern medicine.

No matter what type of healing you use – conventional medicine, surgery, or more holistic therapies such as acupuncture, yoga, or massage – the Silva Life system can speed and smooth the normal healing process amazingly.

Silvalifesystem.com - I have not tried this program but I do know that this works. Our minds are very powerful!

With natural healing you can use your mind to heal yourself from within.

Every time I walk past a pharmacy or listen to ads on the TV about a new drug, it makes me shudder.

Just the mere sight of shelves and shelves of pills stacked upon pills... it makes me annoyed!

Have a headache? Pop an aspirin.

Want to lose weight? Pop a diet pill.

Can't focus at work? Pop a Ritalin pill.

Every possible thing you can think of has an over the counter pill solution.

And with society accepting that pharmaceutical companies are the experts, we've become a pill-popping culture.

I think this is one of the saddest things about modern society. 
We have been trained to believe that our bodies are against us.

I know about the power of natural healing, and I know that pills are not only often unnecessary... they can even be harmful.

I am sure you know that drugs only fight the symptom - not heal the cause. Plus they will always have side effects. Even if you don't see it yet, the side effects will accumulate and cause more harm to your
body in the long run.

But the mind-body connection to heal from within is both strong and powerful. And there's no such thing as side effects with natural healing.

With natural healing you can use your mind to heal yourself from within.

the issue of war and soldiers

Here is how a seven-year-old crystal child sees the issue of war and soldiers.

“To prevent war, we must imagine the soldiers happy in their homes and doing what they love. If no soldier wants to attack, then there is nothing to defend, and the soldiers are happy to avoid the risk of killing or dying. And everyone loves them because they do not want to hurt, and they refuse if they are sent out to hurt. People do not want war, and the soldiers do not want to die or attack, but on TV it is being said it is necessary, but that is not true.”

Light permeates all reality.

Light permeates all reality.

So, why is there such misery in the world?

Because negative actions create negative effects that conceal the Light.

Every time we consciously or unconsciously display selfishness, intolerance, anger, fear, or any other reactive trait, we are covering up the Light.

In other words, be nice everyday.

Simple gestures of restriction and kindness make all the difference.

Spread the Love

Question: The Truth

I wonder how many people actually know the truth?

And those that know the truth,

I wonder how they know it’s the truth?

WITH GREAT FORTUNE COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.

intrinsic effect of genuine wisdom

Spirituality and religion (although some religions institutions have been molded over time to fit another agenda of dark) are meant to bring harmony, to arouse love and peace. This is an intrinsic effect of genuine wisdom.

Notice if the beliefs and practices you espouse are building bridges between you and others. Because conflict, intolerance and hatred cannot, by definition, exist in the presence of Light and true spirituality.

Words of Wisdom

ACCEPT WHAT YOU HAVE 

In Gratitude - Say Love

So many thoughts 

puncture our world!

 

Everyone: start focusing once a day on really saying the word love in everything you do and think positive and healing thoughts for everyone in this world. 

If you stop those destructive thoughts and replace it with the word love, you might find yourself smiling a bit more.

 

The power of the mind is more than we know so sometimes you have to have faith.

Did you know, you are praising the Source?   

We are all the Source. 

We are all one. 

We are a collective.

So enjoy the ride you got … you might get to go on different ride again … but just as Santa knows if you’ve been good or bad … so does the Source. Every bad thing you do counts against you … karma’s a bitch they say.  But you can reverse the bad by doing good and acting good and forgiving yourself and others, bringing love back into our families and communities and thus for our world and everything that exists....

It’s easy as 123. 

That’s what I see. 

I love you.

In Gratitude ~ Vegetables don't lie ...

Vegetables don't lie ...

Yesterday Was The Farmer’s Market on State Street. I’m in this mode of ALL ORGANIC NO GMO FOOD kick, Right? Funny because my Mom, My great Mom, Raised me so healthy and I am so grateful because now that I have been more educated on what has been going on with our food supply … I've realized Just HOW MUCH I’ve poisoned myself in the last 13 years I’ve been away from my mother’s organic kitchen.

I am so grateful for real vegetables. I’ve been eating 21 layer salads. It kicks my ass but I love it. I could eat that salad forever … I’d know that I was least getting full doses of real food. It feels so good to eat even though it can also tear you apart inside with its potency. It’s good to mix it with something … like a tortilla. It’s good in everything.

Now I go to the grocery store and everything I see is just inedible. I can’t think about poisoning my body any more… I felt bad for my body so I decided to steer my diet towards cleaner living and now I feel great and radiant. Salad makes you GLOW.

You Know The Way ....

In Gratitude ~ Sore. But feeling excellent.

Sore.  But feeling excellent.

I went to 24 Hour Fitness for my 8:00 am date with HFG (Handsome Fitness Guy), my first session with a personal trainer ever.

I wore black booty shorts and a black tank … my usual workout gear … he even asked me why I was dressed all in black … Am I hiding something? He asked joking. Uh no I replied ... these are the only workout clothes I have…

And then he thanked me for being honest …

I kept my smile big the whole time.  After all, I am very grateful for the personal session and he is such a nice person, so encouraging and patient. It was nice to work with someone that had some knowledge about how to get my body the way I want it.

We talked about diet – Or Lifet – as I call it. It's your life diet ... for all you dieters ... change the word ... it makes a difference because the word "diet" feels restricting ... A Lifet is a life long conscious choice towards health and healthy living. I know that I’ve been obsessed lately with what I put in my body. But the choice is paying off because lately it’s showing on the outside of my body which has been glowing and I feel cleaner and radiant inside.

He asked me what my goals are … I told him I wanted a six pack at least once in my life, I wanted long and lean tone body, and I wanted a killer butt… He told me I wasn’t so far from my goal.

We started on the elliptical machine and did 5 minutes warm up… then hit the mat and did a bunch of different crunches. I love this type of exercise… So I was going for it hard… it hurt at times but I appreciated his attention to detail, though I’m sure I gave him a show … I never wiped the smile off my face, even as I turned beet red, sweating profusely, and forgetting to breathe.

Well, after an hour of body torture…I must admit I feel great. So if you are out there and want to get into shape,  get a personal trainer to learn some great exercises that you can take with you in the future.

Or I can also teach you my SUPER AWESOME workout that takes 20 minutes and pretty much helps tone you fast using Pilates moves … today I learned some more moves that I am going to add to my own routine.

Well, back to the Justin Drew grind Lovers….I’ll update later!

remember you can't please everyone and you don't always have to be right

Before you pick "sides," fly the coop, or let a third presence such as guilt, shame, or outside influences keep you from making a connection, remember you can't please everyone and you don't always have to be right.

In Gratitude - It’s the First, A Tuesday.

It’s the First, A Tuesday. No wait, it’s the 31st because August has 31 days … ever wonder how they figured out the calendar or time? Adding days here and there … what is time? … 24 hours in a day? … they say … how did they come up with that ? 

If we had no clocks how would we know what time it was? 

Would we live in the flow of natural time?

I do my very best to live time in the present … the future is what I make of it.

I don’t know what to tomorrow will bring. I could strike it lucky! Wait … I am lucky just being in great health, happy, and living with open arms, eating So healthy, going with the flow of abundance … I am abundant, I create. Every Single Day.

I think about How lucky we really are …

How much time have we spent complaining?

How much time have we spent appreciating?

How much time have we spent forgiving?

How much time have we spent giving?
How much time have we spent receiving?

Take a moment…

Close your eyes, 
breathe deep, 
and SMILE. 
How does that feel?

The sensation of a smile … it’s not a matter of how long it takes to make you feel better, it just does.

The Smile Challenge … I urge you to take it….

The More you Smile at People; 
The Friendlier your Day is, Guaranteed.

Walk down the street saying Love with every step (either mouth it out loud if no one is around, or quiet in your head if there is). Be mindful of how your body moves. It’s a miracle, if you pay attention.

This is one example of an affirmation I say, but you can say anything as long as it’s positive… 

Read the article I posted about how water absorbs the energy and thoughts of you and those around you … You are made of water. So what I say is “Please heal my body, I love my body, please heal my body, I love my body”. I know that it may sound silly but if you realize that you are healing your body through your positive thought and focus on loving yourself. Take the time to always improve, work hard on expanding your mind. 

You can find peace.
