Tuesdays Wtih Terrie

by

tuesdays-with-terrie-croppedThis is a new series and will not necessarily be every week but when I have something that reflects what I teach here I have to share it.

You may remember that 1 1/2 years ago when I was worried and scared about doing my second 100 miler in just 6 weeks, I created and then got rid of low back pain. That showed me my power at that time…however, I obviously forgot that lesson.

I am scheduled to do a 100 mile event in Las Vegas over Valentine’s Day weekend. But since I’ve been trying this “Whole30” (http://www.Whole30.com ) program and my body has been switching to a “Fat burning” mode (no, not for weight loss but to get rid of my addiction to sugar), I have felt like my body had no endurance. Since the 30 days won’t be over until the day before the race, I’ve been questioning whether or not to do it (the race, not the program although I should have planned that one better too). So, the worry and concern (translate that into equaling FEAR) were there in my subconscious mind, marinading like a luscious meal.

This is actually very ironic/funny – Sunday I finally decided that I would implement this strategy for imroving your back health. I had a Varidesk that I bought over 8 months ago but never figured out how to really make it work. But Sunday I was determined!

I am pretty strong and it didn’t seem that heavy. But when I tried to move it from its storage place to my desk, I had to slide it on the tile. Not so bad. But then I had to lift it up onto the desk. I’m so short that when I got it to the desk level, it wasn’t going any further. I tried again. This time as I gave it my all, I felt my vertebrae move in my back. Down went the object and I just stood there wondering if I had done significant damage. When the dizziness passed, I realized I was not paralyzed but that I had hurt my back. As the day went on, the pain continued and increased. Etc…typical back pain scenario. Nothing special here.

What’s the lesson here? Even injuries can be brought on via the Law of Attraction. People tend to think that because it’s an injury, caused by an external event (“how can that be something I created?”) there’s no way you can attract it.

Let me ask you this – why did I decide on this particular Sunday, just two weeks from my event, to change my setup. Why not a month from now, why not a month ago?

My answer – because I wasn’t so focused on this race a month ago like I have been for the past 1 1/2 weeks since I felt my training had gone to pot.

I have to turn this around because there are upcoming events that are really important to me. Last year my fear (and stupidity in not following all the training rules I had ever learned) led to the back problem that interfered with my trek across Tennessee.

How am I going to turn it around? By using a variety of means. EFT, journaling and visualization as the primary means.

You might ask if I shouldn’t wait until my back is “healed” before I start all of that? The answer is a resounding “no”! The key is to identify what you have attracted into your life as quickly as possible and then take action to correct that. I almost immediately realized what I had done and so was able to start working on it Sunday. I am constantly amazed at the power of EFT to assist with, not only pain, but also the issues behind that pain. So, that is going to be my primary focus. What is it that’s going on deep inside that I keep repeating this pattern?

Stay tuned for those answers though.

Just remember that we attract EVERYTHING in our lives even if it seems ludicrous. Go deep – that’s my new motto – go deep within and you’ll eventually find the answers. Sometimes we have to be beat over the head to figure out the why and how but it’s there. I guarantee you.

Til next time….I hope this has helped you realize that all of us are subject to the same laws, even those of us who have studied and “worked” the laws for years.

Momentum Monday

momentum-monday1“Delegate it to the manager. You have this really good staff that will take care of everything for you. You just have to delegate it — and trust it.” —Abraham Excerpted from the workshop: St. Louis, MO on July 18, 2000

This is such an important concept. We try to do everything by ourselves and that’s not the way to operate. It puts way too much stress on our mind and our body.

When you feel overwhelmed:

  • Write down on a sheet of paper all the things you have to do.
  • Then prioritize them all based on what absolutely has to be done today, what can be done at at time other than today. Use a numbering or a letter system to identify the ones that have to be done today.
  • Then really scrutinize the list and identify those items that only you can do.
  • After that, take those items that could be done by someone (or something) else and move them to the other side of the sheet of paper.

These are the things you’re going to turn over to the Universal Manager. You forget that there is this power out there that can do all things for us. And if nothing else, can help us accomplish what we feel MUST be done by us.

Let this manager help you out. All you have to do is ask. It’s funny how we forget this and struggle along in our own misguided way often. If you ask “Show me the way” – you’ll be amazed at what answers and ideas come to you.

There is no need for you to ever be overwhelmed once you realize this!

Try it this week.  See what jobs you can give to the Universal Manager.  You’ll be surprised and I think very happy too.

Influential Laws That Govern Your Life – Part 13

by

rule 13Law of Realization

This is one of the laws we use the least but should use the most. There is more than knowledge. It’s a complete realization. It’s the flooding of consciousness, understanding that whatever you’re thinking about or whatever law is involved, it’s more than knowledge. You have to be doing it. You have to understand the principles that are in use. You have to use the principles totally and completely.

In order to understand something you’re talking about or something that’s new to you, sit down and identify your oneness with God. Identify that you’re one with this divine energy. Then say something like “reveal to me so that I can clearly understand the Law of Power (or the Law of Dominion or whichever one you want to learn about at that time).” There’s an asking and receiving in meditation.

When you go into meditation, you should always have a purpose. Your purpose is to understand whatever it is that’s not clear in your mind.

Sit down and say “reveal to me the truth about Power. Reveal to me the understanding of Power. Reveal to me what it is I need to know and feel”, because Realization is both feeling and knowing. It is complete within itself so you can say “Okay, I know what this is. I can feel it. Now I have to learn to put it into words.” This is just an example. You would substitute whatever it is you are asking to understand – or seeking clarification/realization about.

Knowledge is not realization. Understanding is not always realization. Realization is when you can get into words that have been spoken and put them into feeling. Without feeling, you don’t demonstrate. You don’t demonstrate out of knowledge. You have to get into the feeling, which is why you use a lot of visualization.

Consider this – go back over the laws and take one day – say “Reveal to me the Law of Consciousness (for example). Reveal to me what it means to me. Reveal to me how I can realize the wholeness of this spiritual law”. That’s the asking.

Then turn around and begin to receive. After you practice this a few times, it comes almost within minutes. You can do shorter meditations and more of them. If you sit for five or 10 minutes and nothing comes through, get up and continue your activities. Frequently when you stop wanting to hear or realize something, you can get up and go do something else. All of a sudden, the answers pop into your mind – “Oh, that’s what that means!”

Meditation should NOT be simply about blanking your mind. The first step is the identification with the spirit. Have a purpose. What is it that you want to realize in that moment of meditation? A moment could be two or three minutes or two or three hours, whatever it takes. I recommend you do 10-15 minutes at a time, then get up.

Use this at least once a day. Some insight, some idea, will always come to you at the least expected time. If you jot it down and then take five to 10 minutes to meditate and just say “show me”. Between then and the next time you sit down to meditate, you’ll get answers. A good time to do the meditations is just before you go to sleep. Say something like “Reveal to me how I can give my service in the most productive way.” You always want to ask for the most productive way, not the best or happiest. What you want when you’re asking for insights is the most productive way that you can learn it, then give it back out when you start teaching it to someone else. That’s the Law of Realization.

Influential Laws That Govern Your Life – Part 12

rule 12Law of Power

The Law of Dominion is the recognition that you do have dominion and that you can do everything. Power is the energy that makes it work.

The definition of the Law of Power is that you have to know and understand that this power, this divine substance is available and it works because you live, move and have your being within that power. It’s the power of the Universe that holds all things in their place. It’s the power that holds the start, sun and moon where they’re supposed to be. It makes air and water available to us.

When you know that this power is available and that it works in and through your thoughts and actions, then you take the Law of Dominion and take charge of things. That’s where the responsibility comes in, when you have to combine the two laws.

You use it by determining that you and God, you and Spirit are the majority. You stand firmly on doing that which is yours to do.

Determining what is yours to do comes from the hunches, ideas, thoughts and feelings that this divine idea that came to you is something you were meant to do. Everyone is here for a purpose and we’re the only ones who know that purpose.

The individual is the only one who knows what they are supposed to do. You take responsibility when you realize that if you have an idea, it’s yours to do.

Use the two laws together – use it any time you feel overwhelmed. Any time somebody tells you or you think ti’s going to take a long time for something to happen or that there’s difficulty to overcome, or that more is needed for you to be ready.

Add to your affirmations “the easiest, quickest way possible”.

It’s like a light switch. The raw power is there but we have to use the wires coming to the switch (which are all the different laws) in order to turn it on and turn it loose. You can turn this power on when you know and understand that it’s available and does work.

God and substance are passive. Nothing is ever forced upon us. The energy is passive. We have to invite it into our lives. The more you grow in spiritual awareness, the less you tell others what to do. You realize that everybody has to do it on their own. You cannot force another person or tell them how to do it.

The most important thing to understand here is that any idea you get is yours to do AND that you DO have the power to do it. Always remember that.

Momentum Monday

momentum-monday1“Whenever you are feeling less than good, if you will stop and say, Nothing is more important than that I feel good—I want to find a reason now to feel good, you will find an improved thought.

Anytime you feel negative emotion, you are in the mode of resisting something that you want, and that resistance takes its toll on you. It takes its toll on your physical body, and it takes its toll on the amount of wonderful things that you are allowing to come into your experience.” —Abraham [Excerpted from the workshop: Money and the Law of Attraction on August 31, 2008]

At the beginning of the year when the nights are long and the days are cold, this is an important concept to remember. Try to figure out what it is you’re resisting when you start to feel a negative emotion. Maybe you’re just resisting the cold, winter weather. Remember to reach for a better feeling place. It doesn’t have to be joy, it just has to be a better feeling. Move your way up the emotional scale. Use your Kodak Moment to get yourself on a different plane/disc.

If you’re constantly resisting things, then you will be able to remove that toll on your body. You don’t want to continually be experiencing that do you? The emotional and physical are all intertwined and must be worked on together. This applies to nutrition too. You have to pay attention to what’s going into your system to fuel it.

This week pay particular attention to your feelings and be conscious of what you might be resisting. When you realize that you’re feeling less than you’d like, identify what it is you’re working against and annotate what is going on in your body. It would be a good idea to record these observations this week. When you reach for a better feeling thought then see how your body responds and record it.

At the end of the week look over what happened all week and see what conclusions you come to. Share them with others here in the comment box!
