We need Erasers!

 

 

Video InspirationHave you ever made a mistake?  That is a silly question, because everyone makes mistakes.  But when you make one, isn’t it funny how you feel so alone, like you are the only one who has ever fallen short of perfect?  That is why we have erasers!

 

Send Love and Gratitude to Japan’s Water!

A Message from Masaru Emoto, Author of Messages in Water

 

During over twenty year research of hado measuring and water crystal photographic technology, I have been witnessing that water can turn positive when it receives pure vibration of human prayer no matter how far away it is.

Energy formula of Albert Einstein, E=MC2 really means that Energy = number of people and the square of people�s consciousness.
Now is the time to understand the true meaning. Let us all join the prayer ceremony as fellow citizens of the planet earth.   I would like to ask all people, not just in Japan, but all around the world to please help us to find a way out the crisis of this planet!!
The prayer procedure is as follows.
Name of ceremony:
�Let�s send our thoughts of love and gratitude to all water in the nuclear plants in Fukushima�
Day and Time:

March 31st, 2011 (Thursday)
12:00 noon in each time zone
Please say the following phrase:
�The water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant, we are sorry to make you suffer.  Please forgive us.  We thank you, and we love you.�
Please say it aloud or in your mind. Repeat it three times as you put your hands together in a prayer position.
Please offer your sincere prayer.
Thank you very much from my heart.
With love and gratitude,
Masaru Emoto
Messenger of Water

The Silver Lining

The Silver Lining

Yesterday, some clouds were covering my ability to see all the good in my life.  I had a day of self doubt, worry, anger and the inability to look beyond my personal failures to little successes that have lined my path over the past years.  I was focused on all the grayness, the inconsistencies, and the feeling of not measuring up to my own standards.

Then I began to heal my negativity by using an ancient Hawaiian healing prayer called Ho’oponopono.

Ho’oponopono means, to ‘make right, or to rectify an error.’ According to ancient Hawaiians, error arises from thoughts that are tainted by painful memories from the past. Ho’oponopono offers a way to release the energy of these painful thoughts, or errors, which cause imbalances and disease.” (Page 5 of Zerolimits)

The process is to repeat four statements over and over again until you feel a sense of peace.  It can be done around any situation.  I felt my anxiety level decrease steadily each time I spent five to ten minutes repeating the statements which are:  I love you, I am sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you.

I am most hard on myself, and therefore, I am  the last person I want to forgive.  When I started the prayer yesterday, I could feel the anger bubbling to the top and I felt like I deserved a good scolding from my own self.  But as I worked with the statements, I was able to come to a place of knowing that I have done my best, I am learning from my mistakes, and I am in the exact place I need to be in order to move forward in my life.  I went to bed, repeating the statements over and over, allowing the words to move through my body, looking for places where unforgiveness rested.  I would stay there in my mind and pray the statements until I felt a shift of energy, releasing the negativity.

I know I still have some work to do, but a hug from one daughter and words of wisdom from another ( You are here now, and you are successful now!) was enough to remind me that success isn’t always measured in the amount of money in a bank account.   And like the clouds being lit by the sunset, I am aware that Divine Guidance is moving in and through my life, and there will be light at the end of this situation.  I have to remember to look for the silver lining, but I can’t see it unless I am willing to look at the situation head on, and move through it.

I love you,  I am sorry,  Please forgive me,  Thank you.

Forgiveness and Gratitude

On Saturday, I got a call from a panicked Mothers of Preschoolers  president, who had a speaker cancel and was looking for a quick replacement.  I said yes of course and got to present to the women on “Your body is a temple”  I love any opportunity to speak to women about self care.  Although this particular talk was focused around nutrition, I still talked about being present to oneself, and recognizing one’s self worth.  When we don’t appreciate our bodies for what they do, and appreciate ourselves for who we are, we can eat without thinking about the cost of what we are eating.

One of the activities I had the women do was identify with their senses their favorite sights, smells, tastes, sounds, and touches in the kitchen.  I wasn’t surprised  when so many women identified a clean kitchen sink as one of their favorite sights, as opposed to a gathering of fresh fruits and vegetables, or a table set nicely for company.  It took me back to when I was a mother of young children and the battle for cleanliness seemed just as important as paying attention to my children.

Based on their comments, I told the women that if I could impart one gift to them, it would be the gift of forgiveness, the ability to look at yourself and know that you have done the best you could in any given situation.  Don’t try to be a perfect mom with a perfect house, but rather focus on presence and love.  I also told them to create 5 minutes in their day to breathe, because their own sanity will save the sanity of the family.

Why is it that as women, we are the last ones to have our needs met?  I watched these mothers who have their hands full look at me like I was crazy, thinking that even 5 minutes of peace would be impossible.  But the reality is, deep down, we as women don’t always feel like we are worthy of self care.  We know we are the glue that holds families together, yet do we know that we are sometimes the cause of meltdowns?  Have you heard the saying, “If Mama ain’t happy, nobody’s happy.”  When we don’t take care of ourselves, and our stress builds, we can take out our frustrations on the people we love the most.

My last suggestion of the day was a gratitude or Do-well journal.  Everyday, write down one or two things that you accomplished, or really felt good about.  An accomplishment to me can mean that you were able to play a whole game with a child without multi-tasking, or you managed to make yourself a healthy lunch.

We need more play, gratitude, love and forgiveness in our lives.  What one thing can you do today to bring more of these good things into your life?
