Freedom From...
by Dr. Gerald Jampolsky.
'Our
present thoughts and choices are the sole determiner of our present
experience.' Because this statement is so foreign to how we usually approach
life, I would like to give you an illustration from my own life.
Getting Rid of Stress
by Stuart Alve Olson.
Stress,
generally speaking, is actually nothing more than a self-trained response we
have developed in dealing with problems. Getting rid of stress can be quick
and easy, but only if we allow ourselves to change the response.
Assignment: Awareness
by Deborah Tyler Blais.
In
an eight-month workshop, we asked ourselves four questions each day. What
did I notice that had nothing to do with me? What did I do today that I
respect myself for? What did I do to help another person today (anonymously
if possible)? What bothered me today, if anything? The assignment was to
stretch beyond who you normally are.

COLUMNS:
HEALTH & YOU:
A
Self-Healing Personality
by Elaine R. Ferguson M.D.
I
recently met a 'senior citizen' with a childlike twinkle in his eyes, the
mental acuity of a 20-year old and the nimble body of a person at least 35
years younger than his 100 years on earth. When I asked his secret, he
replied, 'I live right now. I live only in this moment. The past is over,
and it is a joy to be on earth.'
SPIRITWISE:
A
Miracle A Day...
by Neale Donald Walsch.
Sometimes
God comes along and gives us a real jolt... In 'Friendship with God' there is
an extraordinary statement. 'I have given you nothing but miracles.' The
message is that we can expect miracles every day of our lives.

DEAR
CHILD
|
|
Dear Child,
Count the days that you have
spent in wild abandonment -- doing just what you want to be doing. Enjoying
life -- not shirking your responsibilities but rather making the time for
yourself to enjoy what you truly wish to be doing.
Do not put off being in a joyous
space. Make time. You deserve it.
All is well,
Child of God.

MESSAGE

PEACE ON EARTH
Join James Twyman, Doreen Virtue
and Gregg Braden in "Living and Praying Peace" on February 9th. Please pass
this information to everyone you know.
"I was once asked why I don't
participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that,
but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there."
-- Mother Teresa
On February 9th at noon New York
time (9 AM Pacific, 5 PM London), millions of people around the world will
focus their prayers of peace, sending a wave of healing energy to the
governments of both the US and Iraq. Join James Twyman, Doreen Virtue and
Gregg Braden in manifesting a peaceful conclusion to this standoff in the
Middle East. The vigil will be called The Great Experiment III (3),
following on other experiments in recent years.
Technicians will be with James
Twyman and a large group of Lightworkers in Jerusalem taking measurements to
hopefully prove the effectiveness of this prayer technology. Please pass the
word to everyone you know, and most of all, participate by adding your own
energy. (James will be in Isr'l instead of Iraq because Jerusalem is the
cradle of the three major mono-theistic religions, and is in many ways the
most powerful vortex in the Middle East.)
Here's how you can help:
Mother Teresa once wrote a
prayer, which is an adaptation of the Prayer of St. Francis, that clearly
shows the path to peace.
"When I am hungry, give me
someone that I can feed.
And when I am thirsty, give me someone who needs a drink.
When I'm cold, give me someone to keep warm.
And when I grieve, give me someone to console."
So...if you want something the
only way to truly have it is to give it to someone else. We are seeking the
experience of oneness, for only then does the Peace of God flow into our
lives. Therefore, we're asking you to join the millions of people who'll
spend February 9th giving peace and compassion to everyone they meet. Let it
be an active prayer you live all day long, enjoying your peaceful and
compassionate actions and interactions with others. Go out of your way to
bring smiles to others, and set the intention that the energy of this living
prayer. It's that simple.
Then at noon (New York time) on
the same day, join us as we focus our prayers of peace, sending healing
light to dissolve the hatred and suspicion that could lead to war. Some will
think it naive and simplistic, but we believe that our loving actions are
what will heal the world, and that our prayers of peace are the most
powerful force in the Universe. This is the Spiritual Art of Peacemaking.
We are also gathering together
100,000 trained Emissaries of Peace to stand at the front line of this
prayer vigil, activating an ancient technology of prayer at the same moment.
These people have undergone several weeks of training through the Internet,
and you are welcome to join them. If you would like to be part of this
group, go to
www.EmissaryOfLight.com and click onto the
registration button for the Spoonbenders class. This is a by donation or
free course that should enable you to bend a spoon with your mind in three
weeks, then apply the same technology to bending the whole world toward
peace.
Doreen Virtue will be on the
west lawn next to the steps of the State Capitol building in Sacramento,
California, from 9 to 10 a.m., joining James and Gregg, as well as everyone
around the world praying peace. If you'd like to physically join Doreen and
the others for peaceful prayers, no reservation is necessary. Simply meet at
the west lawn before 9 a.m., and bring something to sit on.
We believe that we have the
power to create a world of peace rather than violence, but we need your help
to make this real. Please pass this email to everyone you know. Together we
can heal the planet and make the dream of peace a reality. We hope that this
is only the beginning.
(The technology we are
describing is a heart-centered approach, not related to projecting the
thought or concept of peace. If you would like more information on this
importance of this, please go to
www.GreggBraden.net and click on the "Thoughts From Gregg" link.)
