"Economy Stimulus Program" to Enhance Your Spirituality

The "economy stimulus program" I am referring to is not regularly publicized. In fact, many people do not know what it is. It is merely how I see a major opportunity to turn inward and base our happiness on trust and faith, as well as doing what we love, being grateful for what we have and for the opportunities to serve others.
Ironically, the tough economy has offered many people more time to enjoy their life and make major changes. The illusion that things are our security, or what we need to be happy, is crumbling. Whether you have a lot or not, the key to inner peace is loving yourself, staying positive, and keeping your life simple, so that you can enjoy everyday, no matter what happens out there in the world.
An attitude of gratitude gives us lots of joy and an openness to receive and give even more. Making a difference in other people's lives makes a difference in our lives. We all have gifts to share and a life purpose. These make life meaningful and much more fulfilling than any things we may have.
When we enhance our spirituality, we live from more love, trust and faith.
We feel more peacefully powerful. We are in the divine flow. We are happier and healthier.

Information Vs Transformation

Information is great, but is it always enough? In my counseling sessions, workshops and books, I offer important insights and solutions. However, then I also offer guided visualization exercises to help people transform. The results have been phenomenol.

For example, Mary new that she was angry at her parents. However, only after I helped her heal her issues with them, with my HART (Holistic And Rapid Transformation) process, did she release the anger and feel great.
She was also able to forgive her parents and improve their relationship. Mary experienced a transformation.

In summary, information is important but often it takes more than that to change--to experience a transformation.

No More Excuses! Go for it!

I love that President Obama is publically saying, "No more excuses!" There is proof, by the many people who have overcome extremely difficult times, that we all can succeed. It is a matter of constantly asking yourself, "What can I do to improve my environment and myself?" It is a daily committment to choose to act from love rather than fear. It is a willingness to accept responsibility for yourself and what you have created.

Do what you need to do to grow and raise your self-esteem. Be kind and loving to everyone, including your loved ones. Teach childen how to be kind and loving by your words and actions. Avoid repeating the painful, negative patterns that you may have experienced as a child. Break the pattern! Spend quality time with them. Tell them you love them. Support them to be themselves and not who you want them to be, or could not be. Love and honor them and yourself, and make a diffference. Take control of your life and move forward towards your goals. No more excuses! Go for it!

The Personal Message of Independence Day

Many people will be celebrating this wonderful national holiday. I also see it as a personal celebration to acknolwledge our freedom to live from love instead of fear. That includes being true to ourselves and others, and following our heartfelt desires.
If we do not feel this way, then we can use this holiday to remind us to set our goals to release our fears, so that we can be who we are and reach our personal and professional goals. We do deserve to be independent, successful, happy and healthy.

Faith and Trust

During these difficult financial times, our faith and trust can be very helpful. Many people are hopefully realizing that their security is not out there but inside of them.
In the past, one of the benefits of being a teacher and government employee was job security. Obviously, that is not the present reality. Many people felt comfortable matching their expenses to their income without having much of a cushion. Even more men and women lived beyond their income with the use of credit cards.
No doubt that these times are financially tough, but hopefully we can also benefit by learning from the experience. It is important to have a budget and save money first before the rest is spent. Some financial experts call it, "Pay Yourself First!" It is also helpful to control our buying so that it does not control us.
Finally, let's make the best of the situation and keep the faith and trust that the economy is recovering now. Let's help others in any way that we can. That helps them have trust and faith, too. Our thoughts are very powerful. Together we can emerge even better economically and as more caring and trusting people.

Our Problems are Universal

I have been traveling and moving often in the last four years. I have lived in Australia for nine months and visited New Zealand twice. I also spent a total of 10 months in Hawaii, dividing my time between the four major islands. My journey took me to Sante Fe, New Mexico, Ashland, Oregon, Southern and Northern California, Florida, and Puerto Rico. They are all beautiful places that I have been grateful to enjoy.

In the past, I have lived in Brooklyn, New York, The Foothills of the Sierra Mountains, and Sedona, Arizona. Being an extrovert, I love to interact with people. As a Marriage, Family Therapist for nearly 30 years, I have counseled many people internationally.

One of my observations is that wherever we live, whoever we are, whatever we do, we all have the same basic issues to resolve. We all improve our lives, when we grow to the point that we can avoid attaching what others do or say to our self-esteem, which includes our self-worth. We are okay no matter what others do or say! This concept helps everyone resolve many problems as well as prevent emotional pain. It feels so good when we remember this truth. What people say or do is about them and not us. We are okay!

We are earth angels when we speak and act from our hearts, and want to make a difference!
