Technorani tag:happiness
By Guy Finley

To enter the true Now, where a timeless intelligence awaits, awake within itself, requires first that we align ourselves with the eternal principles that are its secret foundation.

Let's look into one of the most fundamental of these empowering principles taught by every great teacher: We reap what we sow. In these so-called progressive times, this all but forgotten principle is as simple as it is prophetic. Share this simple fact with someone who hates his life, and he will hate you for the truth you tell about why he feels as he does!

Everywhere we look, people are concerned with essentially one thing: getting what they want, when they want it, and as fast as possible. The fires that fuel their appetite for this envisioned success create so much smoke that they lose sight of the fact that all they reap for their insistent sowing are the cold ashes of regret raked out of broken relationships.

If we are ever to realize the integrity and consistent kindness of our True Nature, if we long to know something of heaven while we live on earth, then we must sow the seeds that bring that higher life into fruition. One cannot expect to reap what one does not sow; and merely hoping for a higher life is not sowing true spiritual seeds, any more than climbing an imagined mountain is the same as reaching its top.

To sow spiritual seeds means that we do spiritual work. Spiritual work is always interior work first, even if, as a matter of course, this work becomes manifest through exterior action. What is this interior work by which we sow the seeds of the celestial within us? Following are four ways to sow the seeds of a higher and happier life.
We must work to not burden others or ourselves with past regrets, disappointments, or fearful future visions, even as we learn to ask truth for more insight into those unseen aspects of our present nature that are reaping their regrets even as they sow more of the same dark seeds.

We must learn to sit quietly with ourselves and wait patiently for the light of God’s peace to replace those dark, noisy thoughts and feelings telling us that we have too much old baggage to make the journey home. Each time we sow these seeds through some quiet meditation, we reap the strength that comes from realizing that this silence that comes to us is our true home.

We must deliberately remember our intention to start our whole life over every moment we awaken to find ourselves reliving some past conflict. To cultivate this refreshed outlook, born of remembering that our true life is always new in the Now, is to let go of who we have been and to begin reaping a life free of anger and fear.

We must learn to look our fears, weariness, and anxiety directly in the eye, and instead of seeing what is impossible according to their view of life, sow the seeds of a new self by daring to doubt their dark view of things. Our refusal to identify with self-limiting negative states reaps us the reward of rising above their inherent limitations.

It is not enough to just sow seeds in this physical life, i.e., struggle for or make millions, invent the greatest gizmo ever, become the who’s who of some social registry, for regardless of how sublime these intentions first seem, and even if their seeds should grow and flourish, they can only grow into forms that pass and fall in time. If we wish a life that is whole and loving, one that is filled with new light, then we must sow these eternal seeds within ourselves; that is our work. Make your own list of ways to work at sowing the seeds of the higher life. Set your self to the task of being an inwardly awake person and watch how you begin to reap the awareness that makes all things possible.

Technorani tag: law of attraction
by: Eric Seidelman

Creating Abundance Through The Law of Attraction

Have you ever experienced this?

6:00am, and your alarm is ringing in your ears. Your first thought is "not again, I just want to sleep." So you get up to hit the sleep button and you stub your toe. Then you accidentally fall asleep again and wake-up 30 minutes late. Now your rushed through your morning routine. As your driving to work repeating, "I can't be late, I can't be late" you get into a small fender bender which not only makes you late but puts you in a bad place because you haven't paid your car insurance for a couple months.

Your experience may not be exactly the same as this, but I'd be willing to be that you have gone through something similar. What is happening here? Is it coincidence, fate or just plain bad luck?

I am here to make the claim that when your experiencing that, you are creating that by what you think. I know, I know… you think I'm crazy. You're probably thinking or even saying out loud as you read this, "Why would I want to create that for myself."

There are laws in this world that everyone lives by, whether you know it or not. Sure, there are traffic laws that we sometimes obey, and other laws that if you don't obey you're putting yourself in jeopardy of fines or worse, jail. But there are bigger and more powerful laws that each and every one of us live by.

The easiest way to put this is, there is a law in this world, or this universe that states - "You get what you think about." It's really that simple. "You Get What You Think About."

So let's examine this simple principle in relation to money and abundance. What are your thoughts towards money? Do you think about how rich you are or how much money you have, are you thankful for the large bank account you have? Or, do you worry about paying the bills, do you attempt to figure how you're going to get rid of your debt? Do you wish that you had more money so you could buy what you want?

You see, the Law Of Attraction, which is working whether we accept it or not states that "Thoughts Become Things, or like we stated earlier, "You Get What You Think About."

So, are you thinking about debt, bills and lack of money? If so, what does your bank account look like? Most likely, if you are thinking about debt and bills you are experiencing more debt, more bills.

Let's take Bill Gates or Donald Trump. Each of these men have created massive fortunes through their respective work. Each a billionaire. Do you think Bill Gates and Donald Trump think about debt and bills? They have debt, they have bills but is that what occupies their mind? Of course NOT. They are thinking about wealth, abundance, and what they can create with their money and success.

Are you thinking to yourself, Gates and Trump are different, they actually have money to do whatever they want. AH HA. Here is the key to Law Of Attraction. They have money, they have success because that is what they think about.

Try a simple experiment for yourself. Put into your mind a person who you have not talked to in a long time. Think about that person and some experiences you've had with them. Keep that person's image in your mind for a few days. It doesn't have to be constant, just keep thinking of that person from time to time. Something amazing will happen, it may be in a day, or a week or a month. But eventually that person will call you, or you'll see him/her on the street. How does this happen…. "You Get What You Think About."

Use the Law Of Attraction to your benefit. Think about wealth, success, riches, large bank accounts, your dream life. Think about the good in life and you will get the good life has to offer.

Remember, "Thoughts Become Things."

Technorani tag: psychic

Note: I subscribe to Google Alerts and use the word "psychic" to find news stories that have to do with the kind of work that I do. I have to admit, it continues to shock me when I read new articles like the following one and read about how psychics are still scamming, and are able to scam, vulnerable people. It makes me so angry. Taking advantage of people at a time when they are needing guidance and support is NOT what this work is about.

The article:

Short psychic at large

NSW police are searching for an Australian psychic and her Canadian "followers", whom they say conned hundreds of thousands of dollars from vulnerable people.

Detective Inspector Jim Stewart said today the psychic, called Nina, and her husband and another couple may have crossed into another state to set up their scam.

The 60-year-old psychic and her followers, who have what police say are strong Canadian accents, packed up their crystal ball and tarot cards before leaving a unit in Merrylands, in Sydney's west, he said.

Police believe they have fled with more than $500,000 cash and jewellery after gaining the confidence of a number of victims.

"People have been duped into believing that if they bring their property to this particular psychic that all their problems will be solved," Insp Stewart said.


People have been asked to bring large amounts of money to the psychic who promises to return it after five to six days of cleansing it of evil.

Insp Stewart says the psychic has failed to return the money.

A 60-year-old woman has told police she answered an advertisement in the local newspaper for psychic readings.

Over a period of two months, the Bexley woman provided and was defrauded of $308,000 by the psychic and her husband.

Nina is described as being about 140cm tall with a thin build, long dark hair and an olive complexion.

The 60-year-old victim, who only wants to be known as Giuseppa, told reporters she was yet to tell her husband that she had lost their life savings.

She is one of four victims, all women, who have been caught out by the scam which had been operating since July.

Police said two amounts of $300,000 and $200,000 left with the psychic by two victims had been stolen.

Giuseppa said the psychic "looked at a crystal ball and touched me with her hands".

"She said I was aggravated and cursed," Giuseppa said.

The psychic promised, during five or six 10-minute sessions, to rid the cash of a family curse.

Giuseppa said she went to the psychic seeking help for her depression.

Technorani tag: meditation

By Kelly Howell

Here's the open secret to manifestation: your success depends on where you place your attention. In everyday life, our attention is scattered. It's on our bills, on whether we can get the kids to school on time, on whether we're going to get a promotion, and dozens of other things, all at the same time. This is the Beta mind state: the everyday mind state, perfect for multi-tasking.

But - Beta is lousy for manifestation, because your attention is too scattered. If you've been trying to use a technique like affirmations to manifest, it's hard to get your affirmations to create your dreams in a Beta mind state. Your affirmations have zero power.

You can create whatever you decide to manifest. In effect, you can create something out of nothing. You're already manifesting the life and circumstances which currently surround you. You can change these circumstances and manifest something different. All it takes is a secret ingredient.

The secret ingredient to manifestation is meditation. When you meditate, you will find that it's easy to manifest exactly what you want, because your attention is single-pointed: it's focused like a laser beam. When your attention is focused, what your attention is focused on manifests, and often more quickly than you think possible.

In just ten minutes a day, or twice a day if you're keen, you can change your life. You can manifest anything that you truly desire. This sounds like an outrageous claim, but it's quite easy to test it for yourself. After all, everyone can spare ten minutes a day.

Manifest what you truly desire

Perhaps you've already tried affirmations to manifest a new car, or a job, or a better relationship. Then, when nothing changed, you stopped, convinced that affirmations were pointless. Affirmations do work. However they work when you're in an accepting, meditative state when you repeat your affirmations, because in this state you're much more powerful - your attention is focused.

When you start the manifestation process with meditation, you're working with yourself, rather than against yourself. Experienced meditators say that they know when what they desire is on its way to them: there's a "click", a feeling of connection. When this connection happens they know that nothing can prevent their desire from manifesting. This connection always happens in a meditative state.

Ten minutes a day for seven days

This Manifestation Meditation takes just ten minutes a day for seven days.

To enhance the process, you can make meditation easy, by using a Brain Sync program to help. Just listen to your chosen program, and you will naturally access a meditative state. You'll find some recommendations at the end of this article.

In just ten minutes a day, not only will you discover what you truly what, but also make the connection that lets you know that what you want is on its way to you.

Here we go: seven days to manifesting your dreams.

Step One: Emptiness and compassionate silence

In this manifestation process, you start with relaxation, silence, and with complete acceptance. In this silence over the next days, you will find that your true desires will come to you. So for today's meditation, just relax, focus on your breathing, and let go.

Optimally, you'll be listening to a Brain Sync program as you meditate, because you can achieve Alpha and Theta mind states more easily. Put on your headphones, and sit or lie down in a comfortable position with your spine straight, and relax.

Once you've completely relaxed, and your mind is calm, bring to mind a being, or a force, that you associate with compassion. This may be a spiritual figure, or a place in nature, or the earth, or the stars. Bring this being, or this place to mind, and allow yourself to feel the compassion, and the kindness, that's extended to you.

Enjoy the compassionate presence for a few minutes.

Step Two: Intuition and ideas

Today, relax and become completely comfortable again, and let your mind clear. If you're using a Brain Sync program, put your headphones on, and allow the program to carry you into Alpha and Theta.

Gradually, silence will enfold you. Then, ask for your compassionate being to extend kindness to you again - or allow yourself to feel this kindness from nature.

Now bring to mind what you want to manifest. You may know what this is, but don't be surprised if you envision something completely different that you wish to manifest.

Breathe deeply. Relax. If you feel that you're becoming uncomfortable, just focus on your breathing or a time, and listen to the music in your program. Sometimes you've got so much attachment to your desires that it feels uncomfortable.

Watch for synchronicity in your daily life

We're all intuitive, but sometimes w suppress our intuition. Your daily meditations will lead to you encountering synchronicities in your daily life. Just take note of these events when they occur. They're a sign that you've made a connection, that your meditation is working.

Step Three: Expression

In today's meditation, access the silence, and the compassionate state again. Allow yourself to completely relax, and feel happy and serene. You may find yourself smiling during your meditation.

If you've decided on what you want to manifest, state it aloud, if you're alone, or silently if you're not: "I want to manifest a new car"; "I want to manifest a new job, with a salary 25 per cent more than I'm earning"; or "I want a new relationship - I want to find my soul mate."

Step Four: Emotion

In today's meditation, access the silence and the compassionate states again. State your manifestation-desire as though you already have what you want. Yesterday, you made the connection, and what you desire is already yours - it's completely yours, so state it that way: "I now have my wonderful new car"; "I love my new job, with my enhanced salary"; "I and my soul mate have found each other, and life is wonderful."

Allow yourself to feel happy and grateful that you have what you want. Give thanks that what you've asked for has already been given to you.

When your meditation is over, you may feel an impulse to do something - make a phone call, or speak to someone. This impulse arrives without emotion. This is your intuition at work. It has been triggered by your meditations, and will help you to manifest.

Step Five: Will

Today, you're going to activate your will in your meditation. Your will isn't what's commonly thought of as will-power, that white-knuckle do-or-die feeling. Your will is decision and acceptance. It's not as much an emotion as a feeling - a sense - of inevitability.

Access the silence and the compassionate states again as you've done before. And again, state your manifestation-desire as though you already have it. Say: "I now have my wonderful new car"; "I love my new job, with my enhanced salary"; "I and my soul mate have found each other, and life is wonderful."

Now access your will, which is centered in your hara.

In martial arts the source of your will and power is your hara, a point inside your body, about two inches below your navel. It's also known as the dan tien. It's a major focus of chi, of life force energy in your body. Imagine this point in your body as a small area of red glowing light, like a candle flame, or a glowing golden ball.

Notice the bodily sensations that you have in your hara. Don't try to change them in any way, just notice any tightness, or other sensation. Then allow the restrictions you have there to release, and allow the energy of your hara center to flow up your spine and out of the top of your head.

Step Six: Imagination

Begin today's meditation, as you usually do. Access the silence and the compassionate states again. Then, state your manifestation-desire as though you already have what you want. Feel hapy and grateful for your new life - for the manifestation which is already yours.

Let your attention move to your hara. Imagine the light in your hara, and feel the sensations. Let the energy of your hara flow up your spine, and out the top of your head.

As you release this energy, imagine your manifestation - picture it in any way you can, whether it's by visual images, by sounds, by feelings. Imagine your new life, with your manifestation as part of it. Imagine events, complete with sight and sound. What does your family think about your manifestation?

Step Seven: Manifestation

Today, your manifestation process is complete. Whether you realize it consciously or not, your manifestation is on its way.

In today's meditation, follow the same process you've followed over the past days. Here it is in brief, so that you can memorize it:

1. Silence and compassionate acceptance;

2. Express: speak your manifestation aloud, or silently, and feel the emotion of its fulfillment;

3. Sense the energy of your will in your hara, and allow it to move up and out of your body;

4. Imagine your life with the manifestation complete.

Using your Manifestation Meditation

You can continue to use this process. Your life has already begun to change. Keep growing, and manifesting, by using this simple meditation. Over time, you can access this "manifestation mind state" within 60 seconds or less in your daily life. For example, if you're about to give a presentation, use the meditation to both relax yourself, and manifest a wonderful outcome.
