Part 1 

If I had my time again I would have adopted some powerfully positive, proactive practices into my life and the lives of my Children  -  but the past is past and now I feel I am privileged to be able to see things in a new light.  I have, throughout my journey, gained more and more wisdom about respecting  the thoughts and feelings of others and have become consumed by what CAN make a difference !!!!

As we embark on the journey of Parenthood we have given to us a responsibility not to be taken lightly. .  We need to learn positive qualities and respect each person as a soul.  We have all come to here to learn from each other.  When it is loved ones, it can be a bit up hill.  Our ultimate aim is to achieve harmony and peace inside us and carry it out into our family.

In teaching your children all those good qualities mentioned before, you will finally have a mature adult who respects and loves him or herself, and will do the same for you and others and our planet.

Train your children to look inside for their information.  It is all inside us.  We must learn to tap into our source to find our own power to just be.

Your children learn by your example.  When you give them understanding they see that life is no big deal.  The way to bring up your children is by being an example to them.  Be yourself always and allow your children to be themselves as well.  If they see that you always discern a problem without making a fuss about it or make a “Federal case” out of things, they will learn to do the same.  When you are cool and calm, you learn from every situation, and you know there is always a solution.

Understand that children are old souls in new bodies.  Therefore they do understand you.  They always need explanations of your actions towards them.  For instance, if you say, “Get out of here,” without telling them why, the experience will create the fear of rejection in them.  They will then do things for everybody else just to be accepted all their life.

Always be consistent and children will know what to expect of you.  It is better to be a consistently “bad” parent than to be inconsistent.  One way one day and another the next will send the child into total confusion.

From the time your child is born you need to show that baby you that you are in charge.  When you enforce your guidelines consistently with room to grow, you will not need harsh discipline later in life.  It is your house and your rules that are to be abided by while the child is here to learn from you.

Speak to your children as a soul.  Do not speak down to them.  Remember how it feels to be little and how big a person looks to them.  If you respect them, they will respect you.

When giving a suggestion to your children make sure that they do not assume that it is a command.  You usually want the best for them but they could take it the wrong way, just by the tone of your voice.  Tell them it is only a suggestion and not a command, if that is what you want, then you will not meet with hostility.

Children will not always do what you like because they need to experience things for themselves.  When that happens express you love for them but say that you do not like their actions.  Never say that you do not love them.  It is only what they have done that you do not love.

If you see something that you do not like your children doing, stand back and see what you are doing or have done that may have caused them to do what they are doing.  Think before you blame.

You most probably are bringing up your children in the same manner as your parents did, and their parents did, because that is what you have learned.  Once you have become “Soul Conscious” you will want to change you attitude towards disciplining your children.  Being seen and not heard does not help children to learn to communicate.

As adults our perception of love comes from out own childhood and how we experienced it when we were just feelings in our first seven years.  If your father was away most of the time earning money, you think that is normal when you get married.  You push a man away who is giving you too much loving attention because that is not love as you know it.

Make sure your children are given as much love as you can possibly give them.  They will thrive on it.

You are being inconsiderate to your children if you are doing too much for them and not teaching them to do for themselves.  You are taking away their opportunity to learn and grow, and it makes them weak.  They will become dependent on you and they will dislike you for it.

Discipline your children with boundaries so they know how far they can go.  Let these boundaries out gradually as they grow.  Children fell secure with boundaries.  They stop them from being confused.  Be consistent with your boundaries and keep them enforced until they are old enough to make their own.  They will do this if they have lived by yours and have gained respect for themselves and others.

Give children responsibility so they can feel successful.  Having responsibility also gives them a feeling of being worthwhile.  Responsibility can mean to be in charge, and they need to learn to be in charge of their own lives.  This stops them having thoughts that they are unworthy.  Make sure they are not living by yours or other people’s responsibility, only by their own.

Give your children positive guidelines by setting them a good example.  That is by loving yourself.  This is what gives you inner strength and you want your children to have the same.  So do it and they will follow.

Being overly “mothered” is as bad for the child as being neglected.

Children from 0 to 7 years never hold grudges.  They can be spanked and mistreated by a parent and they will very quickly give that parent a big hug as though nothing has happened.  I call this recycling their love and we can learn from them.  At that age they are always in their feelings and simply being themselves.  When something adverse happens too them they just get back to loving again.

Your children mainly get sick because parents are inconsiderate to them.  They do it to make the parents suffer.  It is their way of rebelling.  They do not realise that in doing this, they are the ones being hurt.

Listen to your children’s feelings and learn from them how to get back into your own true feelings.  See the elf in S-elf, and put some fun in your life.

Adults hold on to grudges, want revenge and want to keep retaliating, with never a thought for forgiveness.  This all eats into your bones and bodies and that is how your sickness begins.

Now is the time to get into hypnosis

Everyone is talking about hypnosis, and it is becoming more and more popular as a way to change naturally.

Hypnosis is now established i.e. a way to gain access to your mind and reprogram your limiting and negative beliefs, a tool you can use to eliminate these negativities and change for the better.

Hypnosis is a simple tool really, and is often way over mystified. All it really does is put you into a deeply relaxed and susceptible stateof mind, where you can be fed positive suggestions which you will accept without resistance.

It is because of this that you can make changes more naturally – as your logical, conscious, and often negative mind is turned off, and so you can make changes on a deeper level.

There are two main ways in which all hypnosis audio recordings work:

Firstly, to help re-wire your patterns of thinking. This can vary with regards to the area you’re pursuing, whether it is weight loss or self confidence for instance. Hypnotherapy would look at exactly how you think about balanced eating, going on a diet exercising, or meeting new people, socialising and so on.|tap into exactly how you think when you think about training, or eating healthy food, or how you feel when you think about having to meet a new group of people.

It essentially pinpoints and then replaces these damaging thinking patterns for constructive ones – for example, if you see exercising and healthy eating as a chore, it would re-wire your perspective to start to enjoy exercising, and to imagine all of the important things about healthy eating. Or if you worry about social situations, then it would instil inside you favourable patterns of thinking in this subject – in order that you start to look forward to socialising, and employ a way of thinking where you relish meeting and learning new things about new men and women.

This is where the transformation starts. However, the second element is essential for greater, and actual, lasting change:

The second way self-hypnosis helps is by switching your core beliefs.

For example, it aims to replace the negative self beliefs, beliefs which hold you back from real change, for positive ones. It’ll make you more positive, more confident, and make sure that you truly feel like you are really capable of change, like you can improve yourself and most importantly, that you DESERVE change.

Once you have these main self beliefs, this natural self assurance, and belief in yourself, then you will be able to change for the better.

The Key to Mastering the Law of Attraction is Responsibility.

The ultimate responsibility for how your life turns out rests with you and you alone… not with your parents, your boss, your ex, your society, God, or anyone else.  You can blame whomever you wish, but you’re the one who must experience (or endure) the results.

The Law of Attraction brings you what you think about.  To think is to ask.  Every thought is an intention.  The Law of Attraction is totally neutral — it doesn’t filter what you ask for.  If you think about what you want, you get it.  If you think about what you don’t want, you get that too.

The key to mastering the Law of Attraction is responsibility.  You must accept personal responsibility for everything in your life.  And I do mean everything.  If you perceive it, you’ve manifested it.  Whatever you give your attention to will expand.

By assuming responsibility for creating my reality, I also assume the power to change it.  I can consciously put more energy into thinking about what I do want.  Some of those negative thoughts will still pop into my mind, but I can drown them out with positive alternatives

If you’re determined to think about what you don’t want, I certainly can’t stop you.  The best I can do is to hold you accountable for your results, which can help you become more aware of what you’re doing to yourself. Only you can save you.

At one stage of my life the skeptical part of my brain had trouble believing reality could actually work like this.  It requires a new model of reality in which the Law of Attraction makes sense.  Consequently, I’ve had to make major adjustments to my beliefs to compensate for the Law of Attraction.  This led me towards a more subjective view of reality, which eventually became my default way of thinking.

What if I deny responsibility for what I experience?  What if I say, “Something or someone out there is causing these problems”, it is then, I’m powerless to change my reality.  If I focus my thoughts on what I’m already getting, I’ll unknowingly activate the Law of Attraction to continue bringing me more of the same.

One of the reasons I’m so happy and passionate about my life is that I’m getting better at aligning myself with the Law of Attraction.  As I think about what I want, I keep wondering when it’s going to show up.  When I try to control how it comes to me, I usually block it.  But when I relax and allow it to happen, that’s when it finally begins showing up.  The right people, resources, and opportunities somehow find me, usually through unexpected synchronicities.

By assuming responsibility for creating my reality, I also assume the power to change it.  I can consciously put more energy into thinking about what I do want. Some of those negative thoughts will still pop into my mind, every now and then, but I can drown them out with positive alternatives.

The Law of Attraction works 24/7 in all areas of our lives

     Setting Personal Boundaries – protecting self

The purpose of having boundaries is to protect and take care of ourselves. We need to be able to tell other people when they are acting in ways that are not acceptable to us. A first step is starting to know that we have a right to protect and defend ourselves.

We have not only the right, but the
duty to take responsibility for how
we allow others to treat us.

It is impossible to have a healthy relationship with someone who has no boundaries, with someone who cannot communicate directly, and honestly. Learning how to set boundaries is a necessary step in learning to be a friend to ourselves. It is our responsibility to take care of ourselves – to protect ourselves when it is necessary.

Boundaries are about the emotional and physical space that we place between ourselves and others. Setting proper boundaries is important to our mental and emotional health. When appropriate boundaries are not set, we run the risk of becoming either too detached from or too dependent upon others.

It is impossible to learn to be loving to ourselves without owning our self – and owning our rights and responsibilities as co-creators of our lives. If we want to be loved, we need to be loving toward self and toward others. Once we start having a more loving relationship with ourselves, everything changes.

Setting boundaries is not a more sophisticated way of manipulation – although some people will say they are setting boundaries, when in fact they are attempting to manipulate. The difference between setting a boundary in a healthy way and manipulating is: when we set a boundary we let go of the outcome.
Maybe this is a good opportunity for me to explain boundaries versus manipulation, so I will do it in a personal way so that you can understand it clearly.
I, (for whatever reasons) decided that I wanted to set a boundary around my evening meal, so then my husband had a choice to make. Other scenarios could have been:
1.    Dinner will be at 6pm  (my boundary)
2.    Dinner will be at 6pm and if you are not here, it will go in the bin (manipulation)
3.    Dinner will be on the table at 6pm because you (blaming)
We ultimately discussed the problem and came up with a win/win solution

In order for new healthy boundaries to become our new reality,

1. We need to accept and take responsibility, to change what we can change
2. We need to take responsibility for our behaviors and emotions.
3. We need to let go of blaming others
4. We need to go within and allow the healing to begin

Emotions do not define us, they are a form of internal communication that help us to understand ourselves, and are a vital part of our being – as a component of the whole. Owning the feeling gives us the opportunity of choice and change, and allows us to get in touch with the source of these feelings. By stating the feeling out loud, not only are we affirming that we have a right to feelings – we are affirming that the feeling exists within ourselves, allowing us to take responsibility for owning self, our reality, our choices and our responsibilities in our journey of learning and growth

It is vitally important

1. To own your own voice
2. To own your right to speak up for yourself.

It is OK to say NO

Changing our relationship with ourselves is
vital to making any long term changes
in our relationships with others.

Part 1 of 5

Personal responsibility is the freedom to create our own lives

Part 1 of 5…… Personal Responsibility & Freedom

Part 2 of 5….. Personal Responsibility and Boundaries

Part3 of 5…… Personal Responsibility and the Law of Attraction

Part 4 of 5….. Personal Responsibility and Blame

Part 5 0f 5….. Personal Responsibility in Listening & Honesty

When we take responsibility, we admit we are the ones responsible for the choices we make. We attract to ourselves an experience, which we make a choice about. It is all about staying committed to our choices, and staying flexible to our approach and outcomes

Let’s get personal and talk about you for a moment. Are you perfectly happy with the way things are at this time, or do you wish things were better? Chances are you are neither perfectly happy nor completely unhappy, for most of us lie somewhere between both extremes. However, if you’re not totally satisfied, what are you doing about it? If you continue to do the same things, everything will remain the same. Nothing will change until you do.

It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibility. No body ever did, or ever will escape the consequences of their choices – this is called learning, and an opportunity to raise our vibration empowers us, when we acknowledge the learning behind the lesson

When we take responsibility, we admit we are the ones responsible for the choices we make. We, not other people or events, are responsible for the way we think and feel. It is our life, and we are in charge of it. We are free to enjoy it or disdain it. No, we are not responsible for all that happens to us, but we are responsible for how we think, feel, and act when the consequences of our choice are presented to us.

We all must learn to take personal responsibility – in most cases we cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but we can change ourselves and more importantly change the habitual thinking associated with the way we live our lives

If you believe that things or people make you unhappy, you are looking outside of yourself, for someone or something to blame. If you are unhappy, you make yourself unhappy – your unhappiness is a choice that you make for yourself, it comes from within you and what you are seeing from the outside is a mirror – an opportunity to “Tap” into the emotion that has presenting itself to be healed

One of the first ‘people’ we greet each morning is our reflection in the mirror. Don’t we want to be accountable, answerable, and responsible for the life we are creating for it? By accepting that responsibility, we unleash great power and transform ourselves. It may be convenient for a caterpillar to have so many legs, but it remains earthbound. It is far better to make a dramatic change and transform ourselves like a butterfly, so we can take flight and explore a new world.

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, and opportunities to give back, by  embracing a journey of learning and growth, and by taking responsibility for our own personal freedom

As thoughts are the seed of all action, let me plant only good pure seeds

So the fruit will be the best

~ Anon ~

Your journey is right NOW and exists in this moment, whether you realize it or not. It will be enjoyable if you consciously pursue your Spiritual purpose to bring the world to LOVE. You do this by expressing love in whatever you do, and more importantly doing what you love, with love. Consciously following your spiritual purpose brings you ultimate joy, balance, peace freedom and happiness.

We have set up our environment where Children are our teachers. We are on an equal basis where love is shared abundantly; we are all here to do the same thing: to let go of fear through the vehicle of love. We do this through learning that, no matter how much pain you have, if you take one small moment and totally give to another person your love, during that one moment you will not experience pain or sickness: you will not perceive yourself as having pain.

Free will is the ability or power to make our own choices. Free will includes choices over our thoughts, and words, as well as actions. Our greatest choice is to choose between love and fear. One cannot exist in the presence of the other –so we cannot choose both. It is like light and darkness – if light is present, darkness disappears Thus, the choice between love and fear is the most basic and most important choice we have.

False Expectations Appearing Real is an acronym for FEAR – it is simply a figment of our imagination since it does not exist … it is a projection into the future which is based on past memories, or other peoples fears. The past is done and the future does not exist, so the fears of the future are fears that do not exist. It is easy for us to say ”I choose Love over Fear”, but the tricky part comes in the daily interactions, the moment to moment reactions, the constant thoughts that wander through our head, the spontaneous actions and reactions. It becomes a constant “challenge” to stay present (in the moment) and be aware of the choices we are making. One must act with wisdom

Love is divine and beautiful, love is and allowing the higher thoughts to be our guidance in everything we do. Love is just letting go

Now is the only time there is. Pain, grief, depression, guilt and other forms of fear disappear when the mind is focused in loving peace in this instant.

by Marie T Russell

I choose to let go of the need to be right and simply choose happiness

The other day, I found myself remembering a situation which took place 20 years ago… I got fired from a job for having disagreed with my boss over a question of the work schedule for the Labor Day long-weekend. He had given everyone the weekend off, leaving no one to work except himself. I had suggested that I would work the weekend as well, and take time off during the week instead. For some reason, he did not agree with that scenario, and wanted to stick with “his” schedule — he’d be the only one working, and the whole staff would have the weekend off.

As I reflected on this event, I found myself thinking that I had been right, and he’d been wrong. And then I realized… Wait a minute… I might have been right from my perspective, but he was “right” according to his (he wanted everyone to have the long-weekend off). He had his own motivations for his schedule, and I had mine. (I’ve always preferred taking time off when the roads and beaches, etc. are not so busy as on long weekends.)

In such arbitrary situations, who is “right”? Am I right because it fits into my thinking, my plans, my judgments, etc? Is the “other” wrong, because whatever they want does not fit into my thinking, my plans, my judgments, etc?

Upon reflection, I realized that we were both right and we were both wrong. Both of us, being good mirrors for each other, were headstrong and stubborn and wanted things our own way (which of course according to us was the “right” way). We were both unwilling to see things from the other’s perspective, choosing instead to “stick to our guns”. We were both insistent on being right. So we were both wrong… wrong in choosing “righteousness” over love. We were both “right” in standing up for ourselves, but not at the expense of love and compassion.

The only “right way” is the way of love. Now, for those of you who are going, “but what about…” Let me interject this. Love does not mean being a doormat, love does not mean letting someone walk all over you, love does not mean being “less important than”, love does not mean being a wimp… But love does mean not letting egos take over, love does mean seeing a bigger picture than the “you against me”, or the “I’m right and you’re wrong”.

Love sees the other person’s perspective without necessarily agreeing with it. Love would have seen that my boss had his reasons for choosing to run his store the way he did, and that even if I thought I could have done it better, it was his store and he had the “right” to make decisions there. I had chosen to work for him, so I had to respect his “right” to make decisions.

Love might not have called him the few choice colorful words that I hurled at him as I expressed my frustration at not having things “my way”. Love would have seen that while his way of running his business was not the way I would have run it, it was his store, thus his choice. I then would have accepted his decision without necessarily agreeing with it.

Instead, we both “stuck to our guns” and I ended up walking out in the middle of the “conversation”, and he ended up telling me I was fired. Yes, we both felt we were “right”, but I think we both lost that day. He lost a good employee, and I lost a job. But more than that, we lost our way… We both ended up choosing the way of ego, of “righteousness”, of “I’m better than you”, of “I’m right and you’re stupid”. We lost our way, because we chose anger and pride over love.

We had been friends before I started working there. And through all the disagreements (there were others) and all the frustrations, we ended up “on opposing sides”.  We forgot that we were both on the same team… the team of wanting to create a better life for ourselves and the people around us… the team that has a common goal, and that while not always agreeing on how to get there, still keeps the higher vision of the goal in mind. So while we both may have “won” the argument, we both lost the game of life that day.

How often do we let “being right” step into the way of “peace and love”? We see it in international politics and local government, but we also see it in our own “internal politics” with co-workers, relatives, and the people we live with. We’ve often lost track of our ultimate goal: Love, Harmony, Inner Peace, and Well-Being. We instead get side-tracked by our ego that wants to be right at any price. It doesn’t care about lost friendships, or uncomfortable work relations, or families torn apart by pride — it only cares about being right.

The other day, I was thinking about the recent behavior of a friend of mine, and found that I was angry at her actions (actually I was angry at something she didn’t do… something I would have liked her to do). Then again, I realized, that I was only upset because she hadn’t acted in the way I would have preferred. But… she had been herself. Yes, I would have done it differently… but that’s me, not her.

How often, do we get angry for people for being themselves? What a ridiculous concept! How can we be angry at someone for being themselves? That’s who they are, at this moment in time, on their path of growth, that’s who they are… And just because we may think that if they acted another way it would be better, that doesn’t not necessarily make us right. They have their reasons for their actions (yes, maybe they’re “stupid” reasons from our perspective, but it’s their reasons nevertheless). You have reasons for your actions, and they have reasons for theirs. But who is right?

No one is right! and no one is wrong! Everyone is simply doing the best they can at that moment! Now I know we’re all heard that, and sometimes we accept it, and sometimes it just goes against the grain. Yes, the alcoholic who mistreats his family is doing the best he can — at that moment in time. Yes, the mother who abandons her child is doing the best she can — at that moment… These people may not be choosing the highest path — the path of love — but it’s not by our condemning them, by our calling them names, by our judging them, that we make it any better.

The only way to healing is through love… Love and respect for ourselves, and love and respect for the people around us — whether we think they’re right or wrong. In the same way that we need to give our children room to make their own “mistakes” so they can learn, we need to give the people in our lives room to make their own “mis-takes” as well.

In this movie of life, there are many “mis-takes”. Just as in Hollywood, it may take many “takes” to get a scene “just right”, so in life it takes many “mis-takes” to get our life in balance… and everyone is rewriting their script as they go, making decisions that later turn out great, and others that necessitate a change down the road…

Let’s give ourselves and the people around us the room to make mis-takes. After all, no “perfect” invention or “perfect” scene was created on the first try. It took many wrongs to finally get it right. Each of those “wrongs” actually contributed to the end result. Without the mistakes, the “perfect” solution may never have been found.

So, maybe by giving the people around us the space to make their mis-takes — without the burden of our judgments and anger — maybe, just maybe, we’ll get to discover the perfection of it all.

Control the Need to Control Others

Fear of success can be just as paralyzing as fear of failure. Many people fear success because it tests their limits and makes them vulnerable to new situations. Even worse, success can expose weaknesses and force people to deal with their flaws.
We claim to want it, yet we sabotage success in countless ways:

• We procrastinate.
• We talk ideas to death instead of doing them.
• We never quite finish a project.

Many of us stave off success because, deep down, we feel we’re not worthy.

Then sometimes, almost in spite of ourselves, success arrives on our front porch. It’s rather like having a baby: You know it’s going to happen, you plan for it, dream of it – and then suddenly it’s there, real – and you can’t believe it.

Success can feel scary, almost like a shameful secret.

Success carries a whole new set of fears:

• of being rejected by people,
• of having our parade rained upon,
• of having our success somehow invalidated or
• even ripped away from us overnight.

Success can feel good and bad at the same time.

Where do the mixed messages come from?
Many of us get mixed messages about success while growing up.

On the one hand, we were urged to do our best, to do everything perfectly and finish whatever we began, and criticised when what we did, did not reach “the” standard or we could do better.
Those were the words we heard.
The actions we saw told us otherwise.
People who did well – were constantly criticized.

So while we were encouraged to succeed, we also were discouraged – not because our parents wanted to confuse us, but because they’d internalized the same messages. Mum was taught in her youth that girls where to be slaves to the kitchen, while Dad was brought up with extreme discipline and was taught that you had to be seen as successful, no matter what

No matter how hard, we worked, and agonized, trying to get our parents approval, we could never achieve it, because our parents did not approve of themselves, so as children we took on the same shame as our parents

We also learned to be hypercritical of others, quick to find the flaw to elevate ourselves on the self-worth totem pole.
We, as children, where to be seen and not heard

As a result of my programming, I learned that I should be looking for love on the outside, and giving to others, was the rule to be obeyed. I learnt that as long as I did what others expected of me, I would be respected!!! therefore I became needy, because I needed others, to be successful. I not only wasn’t capable of success, I didn’t deserve to have it. I was a perpetual victim, always yearning and never having.

Did I really deserve success?

Sometimes people fear success because they don’t know if they can live up to their achievements. They don’t think they’re good enough or smart enough. They’re afraid they don’t have what it takes to rise to the challenge, and they don’t know if they can sustain their success.
And that’s where self-sabotaging behavior comes in.

It’s taken work to correct my faulty thinking about all this. Gradually, these truths emerged:

• It’s OK to make mistakes. Everyone does. That’s how we learn: through a process of elimination.
• Comparing ourselves to others isn’t constructive. And knocking someone else down to feel better about ourselves produces only temporary self-esteem.
• One – or even ten – rejections doesn’t mean your idea (or you) is no good. Sometimes it’s just a matter of timing.
• Dividing people into categories of have and have-not is simplistic and inaccurate. Contrary to appearances, nobody “has it made”. We all have our worries, our addictions and our insecurities.

We all deserve success – especially when we,ve worked hard for it. Success has many definitions. We each must decide what it means to us. Peace of mind may not be flashy, but it’s probably more important than driving a status-symbol car.

What is your dream of success? How are you getting in your way?

Any feelings of negativity that you carry around are only hurting yourself. These feelings are stored in your body and become like a rotting core of energy that poisons your every moment. Why encumber yourself with feelings of anger, hatred, and thirst for revenge? Any negative feelings you harbor do not hurt the person they are directed to; these feelings only hurt the person who is carrying them — you.

It is much better to empty ourselves of stored emotional hurts and fill ourselves instead with light, love, and compassion. We will feel much better when we are living in a clean, light-filled body. It’s our choice… Let the light of love shine and make the darkness of unforgiveness and old resentments disappear. See the pain dissolve into well-being.
