Your "past" consists of all that was, what is not happening right "now". In fact everything in our thoughts has passed; our memory is only of the past. Your past, all you have lived, dreamed, thought, felt and experienced translates into vibration. This vibration is not a single "tone" but could be thought of as having many different tones or notes, maybe even a symphony of various sounds.
If your past were a painting, or a series of paintings, it would consist of various colors, shapes and themes. Usually the primary colors of your life’s "paintings" were given to you from your childhood by your parents and the society and culture you grew up in. Often these primary colors that we have taken on from childhood become the palate that we then form our adult “paintings” and the “tapestry” of our lives and daily experiences.
This palate of colors we "find" ourselves painting from can be wonderfully complete or it could be missing shades, hues, vibrancy, variation and even some primary colors. We can see this in what is currently manifesting in our lives at the present moment.
Do you like the painting of your life as it is manifesting today?
Does it show you are painting the story of your life with a full and varied palate of colors?
Are your paintings filled with those things that you value and find pleasing?
Would you like more color?
Maybe you’d like a more adventurous exploration of what is possible if you added some more colors or maybe different shades?
When we play with contrast in our "paintings" it can help bring us into greater awareness of what may be more desired. When we find our creations are darker than we like it is natural to add more colors of a lighter shade and hue. In fact the more contrast we have the more clearly we know what would be more pleasing to us. So, contrast is good as it brings clarity and gives us the vision of how to paint our future in such a way that brings us more of what we truly want and desire in our lives!
This is your creation so you can keep manifesting what you are seeing or you can change it. You can add colors and shades by becoming aware of the palate you are painting from. You can even erase or paint over certain areas by not giving so much attention and emotional energy to certain things that are less pleasing to you.
One strategy is to become aware of our beliefs, especially any that may be less conscious and limiting our palate. Beliefs are energy, a vibration that attracts what they are about. If I believe the world is a hard and difficult place to live in, then I naturally attract experiences and situations that will justify and support "my" belief!
Here is an exercise that may be interesting, fun and informative for you. Taking some time and actually putting this exercise on paper and making it visual and colorful will help to really see a visual representation (a better picture) of why and how you are currently manifesting what you are. You may wish to have some different colored pencils or a box of colored crayons, colored markers or colored highlighters to help with this exploration.
Write down as many beliefs that you can think of on a piece of paper (like white printer paper). For example you may have a beliefs like: “I have to work hard to get enough money to live comfortably.” “I have to keep everybody happy in my life or bad things will happen to me.” “If I stand out or are different bad things will happen to me.” “It is not safe to tell or show my true feelings.” Those “beliefs” all have a certain tone or color. I am sure you can already see where we are going. You will probably have many beliefs that are of a different tone like: “Things always work out in ways better than I could have imagined.” “My life is getting better and better.” “People like and respect me.” “Life is fun and exciting.” Those “beliefs” all have a certain tone or color different than the first group.
Give each belief you write down a color or a shade of color reflecting if they are more uplifting (they feel “good”) or not so uplifting (they feel neutral, draining or give a sinking feeling). Uplifting beliefs get bright and light colors and the more neutral or less uplifting beliefs get darker and less bright colors. Color the whole sentence (the belief) with the color you choose that best reflect its “color” and “tone”.
The more beliefs you write down and give colors that reflect possibly how bright or dark they may be, the more you can see what kind of palate your have to paint your life with and what you are naturally attracting more of into your life.
Remember you automatically attract and physically manifest as your “reality” from the beliefs you carry with you and automatically project outward. So, what kind of an artist’s palate do you have to work with? Do you like your palate? Want to add more colors? Want to let go of some? It’s all your creation and the more conscious you become the more you can consciously create your life “paintings” into works of art that really please you and brings you continual joy, love and fulfillments!
You can work with your beliefs by becoming conscious of them and then choosing to give them energy or not. What you focus on and put emotional intensity into creates a resonance that draws more of the same to you. You physically create from your focus! I know what beliefs and colors I wish to paint with. How about you?
Wishing You Much Love and Consciously Colorful Manifesting! Adama
I have been assisting and teaching during August in various Hakomi Psychotherapy Workshops. I am very honored to be able to work with and assist the founder of the Hakomi method of assisted self-discovery, Doctor Ron Kurtz, during the Trainings and Workshops. This method is a simple and powerful way to assist another person to discover for themselves what they may be unconscious of that is causing them unnecessary suffering in their life. When performed correctly as it is currently being taught by Dr Kurtz, it is very gentle, non-violent and very effective. I am also seeing again and again how people’s thoughts create the reality that they then live in. The thoughts people think bring more and more of the same or similar type of experiences, people and events into their lives making up their current life experience.
One night a few days ago, I went through a process that I would like to share with you. I think it may help you to almost immediately shift your energy and the level of joy in your life to a higher level. It will also most likely allow you to be more uplifting to everyone you encounter in your life. You may even find people want to spend more time around and with you than ever before!
I have been having some challenging emotional times and found myself awake one night and thinking about many things. Since I could not sleep and really wanted to be rested for the new day I began to study my feelings about what I was thinking. I noticed some thoughts were fairly neutral, some uplifting and felt good and others were depressing and sad.
So what I did was every time I caught myself thinking a thought that was neutral or lower “feeling” I immediately began to put it in the most positive framework possible. An example was, I caught myself thinking, “I am sitting so much in class that my body is often hurting during the day and sitting so long in class is bad for me. I can not wait until this workshop is over!” This thought was depressing and felt like a downward spiraling of energy to me. I could even see myself spiraling downward in bed. So, I immediately said to myself, “I can take more breaks and stretch during the day and not sit so much and I really like this class and the people who are in it.” This immediately felt better to me and I felt my energy spiraling upward.
I had another thought like, “I do not have enough time to meditate in the morning when I am teaching workshops because I have to get moving earlier to get to class on time.” This thought was also depressing and felt like a downward spiraling of energy to me. So, I immediately said to myself, “You can meditate some right now and will be perfectly fine in the morning and even have more energy than usual.” This also immediately felt better to me and I felt my energy spiraling upward.
Every time I caught a thought that was neutral or lower “feeling” I immediately re-worded it to myself in a way that felt better and brought my energy spiraling upwards rather being flat or going down. I spent what seemed like the whole night doing this process with every thought I became conscious of. And I really had a lot of thoughts about many many different things! It felt to me like I did not sleep more than a few hours that night.
In the morning I got out of bed feeling better than I had felt in weeks and with energy to spare. What this tells me is that my thoughts have a great deal to do about my energy level and how “good” I feel. It also showed me I can actively work with my thoughts in a way that brings me greater energy, enthusiasm and joy in my life. It really was not that hard and the results were simply great!
I am using this with myself daily as I become conscious of my thoughts and as I am talking to myself or to others. Being conscious of my “feelings” about what I am thinking or saying and actively changing or choosing to say things in a way that feels more uplifting and better to me is improving my energy level and I am feeling much better overall. I hope you will find this useful and even fun to explore how it might improve your life as well!
You will find some current thoughts on Axiatonal Alignment below and if this does not interest you please skip to the part of this months “Thoughts” that offer you an energetic technique to help and assist others you may encounter along your way.
We have had some excellent feedback from the publication of our Axiatonal Alignment Level 1 & 2 Workbook and DVD. People who have purchased the book have found that they can understand what has been written and in conjunction with the DVD can perform the techniques with good results. Khakira and I are delighted with this and it was our desire to share this information and to help those who may not be able to attend one of our Workshops to understand and competently perform an Axiatonal Alignment session.
There is a great deal that goes into performing an Axiatonal Alignment and technical expertise is just one of the elements involved. Competently teaching Axiatonal Alignment to a group of students involves much much more than just understanding the techniques involved and being competent in performing an individual session. The techniques, procedure and methodology of the Axiatonal Level 2 is completely unique to Khakira and I. Khakira directly channeled the Axiatonal Level 2 techniques, procedure and methodology and no one is better qualified to teach this material than Khakira and I. At this point in time we have not Certified or approved of anyone else to teach Axiatonal Alignment Level 1 & 2 as we have been teaching it.
Through the years we have been coming to Japan to teach Workshops and do private Sessions we have worked particularly close with four students who have shown outstanding dedication and skill in understanding and performing the Axiatonal Alignment techniques and methodology as we have envisioned and taught this body of knowledge. These four students of ours have taken special training with us on Axiatonal Alignment and have been supervised by us more than anyone else in Japan at this point in time. Of the four students Yasuto Suzuki has trained with us the most and assisted us for the last two years while we offered Axiatonal Alignment level 1 & 2 Workshops in Japan. Our Certified Axiatonal Alignment Assistants are, Yasuto Suzuki, Masako Suzuki, Ayako Yamasaki and Yoshie Sugiura.
Khakira and I feel that these four people are our most highly trained Axiatonal Alignment practitioners and capable and competent to tutor 1 to 4 students at a time who have purchased our Axiatonal Alignment Level 1 & 2 Workbook and DVD and desire to ask questions or receive some specific advice on how to correctly perform the Axiatonal Alignments. We feel that their sharing of their skill and expertise is valuable and worth the fee they may charge for their tutoring services.
We wish to be very clear that although no one is authorized or certified by Khakira and I to teach Axiatonal Alignment as we teach it at this point in time. The four Assistants mentioned above are the only people we would recommend that anyone who has purchased the Workbook and DVD and is seeking deeper understanding and skill in performing Axiatonal Alignment Level 1 & 2 techniques should consider being tutored by. Anyone else offering to teach or tutor in Axiatonal Alignment Level 1 & 2 does not have the experience of our repeated coaching and training, technical expertise, the skills required or our permission and authorization to assist you in such a way. If anyone other than one of our Assistants is charging a fee for any teaching of Axiatonal Alignment Level 1 & 2 please use your discernment to make sure this is the best use of your time and finances. We always advise our students to use the greatest of discernment in choosing a teacher, trainer or facilitator of any kind, because even people with the highest and best intentions with high values and integrity may not be the best choice available for you.
Below is the energetic technique I mentioned at the start of this August 2009 “Monthly Thoughts” to help and assist others you may encounter along your way. I think you will like it and enjoy practicing it often!
Here is a simple and fun technique that you can use to assist people you may encounter that look like they could use some assistance and help. You can use this on anyone as it allows him or her to use the offered energy in any way that will be most helpful. You are simply offering assistance that may be like giving a drink of water to a person who is badly in need of water, nourishment and refreshment. I often use this technique as I am walking down the street and see people who are obviously hurting and in pain.
Here is how to do it:
When you are ready and have found a person you wish to assist. Imagine you have a small ball of brilliant white light in your hand. The ball of light is about the size of a golf ball or a tennis ball. It is important that you imagine it or see it as pure white light, without any color at all.
Begin to toss the ball of white light up and down in your hand just like you might a real physical ball. You only need to do this a couple of times.
In your mind, toss this white ball of light up in the air so that you see or imagine and visualize it arching up above the top of the persons head you are assisting and dropping down on the top of their head. Just like if you had an actual ball and you wanted to gently plop it down on top of a friend’s head.
You may “see” this ball of white light disappear just above the top of their head is it is absorbed by them. Sometimes the ball of white light gets bigger after you toss it up in the air above the person’s head and sometimes it gets smaller. Once you toss the ball of white light to above the top of the other persons head your part in this gifting is done. They will use the ball of light in whatever way is best for them and only they know what is most correct. They may never consciously know what had just happened and this is fine. You have given a very loving gift of energy and can trust that the other person’s Higher-Self will know exactly how to use this gift in a way that is perfect for the person receiving it.
You have also helped your own abilities to visualize and to offer love unconditionally. You have affirmed that each person has their own journey in this life here on Earth and trusted that your gift will be used exactly in the best way possible for them at the moment that they received it. You will have the satisfaction of knowing you have given something and are not concerned with being thanked or paid for your thoughtfulness and kindness. You can enjoy the “good” feeling of having done something to help another person that may be struggling and in pain. You will also be building and strengthening your own psychic skills by using this technique often.
Beliefs are thoughts that are repeated enough that they often become unconscious. You don’t have to think about them, they save you your limited amount of consciousness in the present moment to attend to the details of whatever is currently right in front of you. Beliefs are like computer programs that run in the background all the time, you don’t have to think about them, they just do their jobs allowing you to focus your limited attention on whatever is going on that is right in front of you in the moment.
Our attention is very limited; what we can focus on and hold in our consciousness at any one time is very limited, so beliefs and our mental constructs of the world and how it works and how we have evolved to function within it can be very helpful. If you had to consciously “think” about everything and all the possible results of your actions you would move very slowly about in the world and be subject to numerous accidents in our fast moving, life and world. Even walking around in the city and getting to where you wanted to go without mishap would be quite an accomplishment as you constantly have to make unconscious decisions to avoid other people walking, automobiles, cross streets, avoid construction activities on sidewalks and the many circumstances that we often do not really pay attention to as we have learned to just automatically go about our day and tasks.
Beliefs can be very helpful and can also be the causative factor in much unnecessary suffering. Our beliefs help to create how we experience the world around us. From our beliefs, of all the possibilities available, the Universe works to deliver those beliefs in all that we encounter in the world. What we find physically manifesting for us is a reflection of those beliefs that are conscious and unconscious.
I would like to give you an example from my life that “happened” (I put “happened” in quotes as it implies I had no connection or influence in what occurred to me) as I was traveling home from a Hakomi Workshop in June.
I was traveling back to Ashland from Vancouver British Columbia Canada on a small airplane early in the morning and had just sat down. Being one of the first people on the plane I had the opportunity to observe the other passengers as they came in to be seated.
A group of four young men came in and as they passed me I felt assaulted by their aftershave and the cologne they were wearing. I was very pleased that they continued to their seats towards the back of the plane. I grumbled to myself about insensitive people who are unaware of or just don’t care about how what they do can effect other people around them. This led me down a memory path of similar incidents, people and thoughts about my sensitivities and living in a world that is often oblivious to how chemicals, scents and smells can be aversive to anyone sensitive to such things.
Shortly, a man of what appeared to me to be of Middle Eastern ethnicity came in and sat directly in front of me. He might have bathed in cologne, deodorant and aftershave, as the odor was so powerful and strong radiating off from him. I allowed this feeling of being assaulted to continue my downward spiraling of thoughts, feelings and emotions. Airplane travel became aversive and painful, fear for my health, dislike of unconscious people, the advertising industry that promotes chemical scents as positive and good, remembering articles and books that I have read affirming how “bad” such chemicals and scents really are for people, wondering if I would get “sick” from the smells…
Somehow I was able to observe and catch myself as I sunk deeper and deeper in negative feelings, thoughts and justifications for my beliefs and sensitivities. I thought if I keep going on this direction of thought, thinking and beliefs I would really have a miserable flight and probably make myself sick before I even got home. So, I quickly determined that I have a core belief that colognes, perfumes, aftershaves, heavily scented soaps and detergents, chemical air-fresheners and all such “unnatural” scents would harm me. I also knew that my intense dislike, strong resistance and fear for my health regarding such scents would draw those exact things to me in greater and greater proportions the more I focused on them, how “bad” they were, how much I disliked them and how they would hurt me.
I immediately got as quiet as possible inside myself, ignoring the scents, incoming people and general airplane noises and began to say to myself things of a soothing nature starting with more general and then more specific thoughts like:
The flight will only be an hour and I can survive it.
After a short while my nose will become numb to the smells.
The people wearing the colognes, perfumes, aftershaves and clothes washed in heavily scented cleaners are just unaware and if they really knew what they were doing to themselves and others they would probably make different choices.
My body is healthy and strong; it will be able to transmute the chemicals before they really negatively effected me.
I will be just fine and can enjoy this flight by focusing on all the things that are going “right” and are pleasant and nice about flying.
People are really interesting and we are all in various stages of awakening, I wonder what their world is really like and why they make the choices that they are making.
I can enjoy this ride and will be wiser for all the experiences I have gained from being here right now!
Well, can you guess what happened as I opened my eyes to see and experience the latest influx of passengers? In came two young women who obviously knew the man sitting in front of me and stopped beside him and one stood next to me as I was seated by the window and began to talk with him. They both wore heavy doses of perfume (different kinds!) and they might have bathed in the perfume seemingly just before boarding the plane they smelled so forcefully!
I surrendered at that point and even silently laughed to myself as I observed the situation I had attracted to me. Then the girl standing next to me very nicely said that she thinks she has the window seat that I was sitting in. I thought, great now she will be sitting right next to me with her girlfriend in front and the cologne drenched man next to her. Surrendering again to my manifestation I looked at my seating assignment and saw indeed I had sat in her seat and my window seat was on the next plane I was to take (same type of small airplane and same seating isle).
Now the airline steward had been attracted to the girls standing and observed correctly that the seat assignment was under discussion. I had resigned myself to sitting with all the perfume, cologne and now chattering friends around me and was internally at peace with it (I usually prefer a more quiet time so I can sleep of meditate while flying so early in the morning). Here comes the best part now.
The Airline Steward asked if there was a problem. We all said no problem, just shifting our seats. The Steward then asked if the three (heavily scented people) were friends and wanted to sit together as there was a seat where they all could sit together towards the back of the plane. They all agreed and moved away from me. So, I now had the seat in front of me empty and the seat next to me empty (quiet and scent free now) and the air quality as good as it can get in a small plane! It was a very pleasant flight and the next as well.
I believe I attracted a situation that I really did not desire by my beliefs and focus on what I disliked and the fear (fear is a big attractor) at the base of my beliefs. By immediately doing the inner work necessary to shift my lower vibrations (downward spiraling thoughts and focus) into higher vibrations (upward spiraling thoughts and focus) and not fighting what looked like an even worsening situation (the addition of the two heavily perfumed girls) my current “reality” shifted very quickly and rather unexpectedly into one much more pleasant and enjoyable. In fact my current reality shifted into my highest vision of what I wanted for that flight!
It is also important to note that the most probable outcome was for me to be seated next to heavily scented, perfumed and noisy people. I think this would have been exactly what would have happened if I had continued my downward spiraling of thoughts, beliefs and feelings. By realigning myself inwardly first my outer reality changed dramatically, quickly and unexpectedly into something much better than I had really ever expected to happen so fast.
I hope you can find use in this example for you own daily lives to shift beliefs and change situations you may find yourself in into a higher vibration that is more pleasing to you. The principals illustrated above will work in your daily life to bring you greater peace, enjoyment and satisfaction if you use them. Simply stated once you bring your own inner vibration higher, your outer reality and manifestations will reflect the new higher level you are radiating out into the world. This can happen remarkably fast and in quite improbable and wonderful ways!
I was talking to a friend on the sidewalk in downtown Ashland Oregon and saw a woman grab the hands of her two children and pull them quickly backwards, stopping their movement forward. A snake had come out of some plants along the sidewalk and then feeling all the people turned and went back the way it came. It was especially beautiful as it had just shed its skin and was very shinny and colorful. This was quite unusual to see a snake in downtown Ashland and then for it to be almost 4 feet long!
I immediately went over to where it was moving away from the people that it had frightened and determined it was not a very poisonous snake and carefully grabbed behind its head (so if it tried to bite me it would have more difficulty). I was very calm and the snake did not struggle very much for as large and strong as it was. It only tried to bite me once. This was only more as a warning than to really hurt me. There is a wonderful Park that is nearby and I knew it would be much safer at the very end of the Park where few people would be and there is wilderness for it to safely live in. So I started the 1-mile walk to the Parks end where I planned on releasing it in a safe place for everyone.
Now here comes the part that I think was even more unusual and interesting then finding such a large snake in Downtown Ashland. I walked carrying this almost 4 foot serpent between my hands held out in front of me as it coiled around my arms and hands and passed almost 50 people along my way to my destination. Only 5 or 6 of the 50 people who saw me, walked close by me and made direct eye contact with me, or said hello noticed the snake! And of those who saw the snake 3 were children and one was a teenager.
So, my questioning and wondering is why did not more of all those people who saw me and made eye contact not “see” the serpent? I think the main reason is that they did not “expect” to see a man walking through the park carrying a 4-foot snake. It did not fit in with the “reality” that they were expecting to see and encounter. The children were more open to really “seeing” what was going on around them. The children all reacted with excitement and wonder at seeing the snake and had big smiles. The adults who saw it were more surprised and the teenager came over to talk to me about it and was appreciative that I was taking it to safety.
What I have been doing since has been watching myself as I wander around and noticing how open I am to seeing what I do not expect to see. To be in a calm place inside of myself where I can really “see” some of the people I walk by and notice as much as I can about them without being rude or staring at them. I am looking to see if I can notice things that I might not otherwise notice or see. I am allowing myself to look with curiosity and the eyes of a child as much as possible. I walk with the attitude of looking to discover and see those things that may escape a more casual or less focused way of being in the world. I am finding it great fun and very interesting.
I would suggest that you might also want to try using this approach when you go out in the world and notice what you may discover and notice that you probably would have missed otherwise. Maybe take a set amount of time (like 30 minutes) to be in this more open and aware state and see how it feels and how it works for you. I think you might be surprised how this can change what may have been a rather dull and “usual” outing into the world into something much more exciting and interesting. This is one way to bring back some of the joy and wonder that can be easily lost as we go about our busy lives and are so inwardly focused or focused in a way that does not let the unexpected be seen and that amazing, unanticipated and unusual things are missed by us. When we do not see or recognize these things that are really right in front of our faces, our world becomes smaller and less interesting and exciting than it really is.
I wish you great new adventures and the seeing of unexpected and unusual things that may thrill and delight you in your daily life!
Please remember, you are strong and resilient beyond your wildest dreams. What your body defends against and heals from is incredible. You were designed that way.
I just returned from a Hakomi Training in Maui Hawaii and it was held in a very beautiful space (Rinzai Zen Mission) where you could see the ocean and hear the waves washing the beach. It was a very nice gathering of people of all ability levels who wished to learn more about the Hakomi method of Psychotherapy and those wishing to deepen their knowledge from many years of prior training. I am always touched by the beauty of the student’s desire to learn more and their openness to explore those areas that may be causing them unnecessary suffering in their lives.
It has been said, "Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional”.
Pain is when you are in a car accident and are hurt and injured or when you trip and fall down and hurt yourself. Pain is felt in the moment, like when you are young and are criticized by those you love and told what your are feeling is not “real” or “true” or that your dreams are “unreal” and to forget about them. You immediately feel the pain of their criticism or immediately feel pain at being told to deny your true feelings and to forget about your ideas or dreams. Suffering is when you go through life remembering the pain of long ago and feeling it anew each day. Suffering is living a life unconsciously reacting to the world around you from all the ways you developed to adapt and cope with the pain you felt as a child.
You are older and wiser now. You can choose to let go of suffering or keep it alive in each day. There are many pathways, tools and techniques to become more conscious of how we are holding on to suffering and then to let suffering go. One pathway is to continually be aware of your feelings and to orient yourself into feeling a little better, a little more hopeful, a little more joyful a little more loving in each moment and in every choice you make. Choose to think thoughts that help you to feel better and happier. Choose to love and be honoring of yourself first and you will be able to share your love with others freely.
Please remember, you are strong and resilient beyond your wildest dreams. What your body defends against and heals from is incredible. You were designed that way. When you find joy, passion, excitement, love and creativity in your daily life and live from your heart you allow your body to be strong and to prosper. When your body is strong and prospering your spiritual life and guidance will be more easily accessed. When you are in a state of being loving your life flows and works beautifully and gracefully.
Khalil Gibran in his famous, articulate and brilliant book, “The Prophet”, speaks very eloquently and beautifully about love and I would like to share it with you:
Then said Almitra, Speak to us of Love. And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a great stillness upon them.
And with a great voice he said: When love beckons to you follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes you to make you naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks. He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant; and then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.
But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; for love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God.” And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips. Khalil Gibran (1883 - 1931) Source: The Prophet pp.11-14 (On Love)
My Monthly thoughts for April are coming to you a little late due to a very full schedule of teaching workshops and giving individual sessions in Tokyo almost all of March.
I was delighted to see the Axiatonal Alignment Level 1 and Level 2 Workbook & DVD published and available for our Students and clients! Now Light Workers of all kinds can offer and utilize these simple, profound and beautiful techniques. What is even more exciting to me is that even people who have never considered themselves “Light Workers” or “Energy Workers” can actually teach themselves the Axiatonal Alignment techniques and offer this to friends, family and even themselves!
What I believe will really make this gracefully possible is the DVD and energy transmitted in the DVD that accompanies the Workbook. Reading the written material and then watching how it is actually performed will allow almost anyone to perform this offering of higher dimensional love, even for those who have not had the opportunity to take the Axiatonal Alignment workshops that are offered by Khakira and me. For those who wish to deepen their skill in performing and expand their understandings of the more esoteric aspects of this work we will again be offering workshops in Axiatonal Alignment Level 1 & 2 in Tokyo
One student who attended the Axiatonal Alignment Level 1 & 2 Workshops we offered in Tokyo in March had never done any kind of work like this before. She was very concerned that she might not be able to really learn how to do the Axiatonal Alignments and if anyone would feel anything from her practice sessions in the Workshops. We recommended that she attend and just decide to have fun at the Workshops and see what happens. Well, she had fun, learned the techniques easily and performed them proficiently, gave excellent sessions and her classmates all felt her sessions were great! It was a joy and pleasure for me to see her work so well and powerfully after doubting herself so strongly.
We offered 7 days of Workshops and many hours of individual sessions in Tokyo and had the pleasure of meeting wonderful people throughout our stay in Japan. Many of our students we had seen before as we offered an advanced level class. It is always such a pleasure to work again with “friends” from prior classes. We also met many new students who were delightful to work with and eager to receive what Khakira and I have to offer. Our individual sessions were exceptionally well received and we saw profound shifts and changes in every person we worked with. We were able to offer tools and techniques that allow for a lasting shift and change for those who desired it. We also offered multiple tools and techniques to allow ones life to flow more gracefully and be filled with more joy, happiness, love and fulfillment in our Workshops as well as individual sessions. I feel our time in Japan this March was an outstanding success for everyone and I really look forward to coming back again.
It has been said, “ We do not see the world as it is. We see the world as we are.”
How we “are” is a mixture of the beliefs we hold as “true” and the thoughts we are habitually thinking combined with the feelings we are experiencing. Beliefs are just thoughts we have kept alive in our minds until we have hardly become conscious of them. They are like the programs that run inside a computer allowing it to do its various jobs without having to start all over from the beginning each time it is asked to do a particular task. We acclimate our beliefs from how we were raised, the culture we grow up in, and our family and the people we associate with daily.
The thoughts that we think as we go about our daily lives are powerful forces and since we live in a kind and loving universe what we are sending out (our thoughts and feelings) the universe gives back to us. This is a simple “law” of how things really work here on Earth. What we focus on and put our attention on we attract more and more of into our lives. The more emotional intensity we put into something be it positive or negative the quicker it may manifest in our lives. So, focusing on what I do not want is just like asking for more of the same to come to me! Focusing on what brings me joy, love, enthusiasm, excitement, pleasure and what we are passionate about calls out for the universe to give more of this to me.
As we then go about projecting out the particular energy that is composed of our beliefs, thoughts and feelings (like a human radio transmitter sending out various channels of vibrations) the world reflects this back to us (the same channels we are sending out). This reflection of us then becomes our view of the “world” or how we see the world and what the “world” is like. We can then say, “See!!! This is “how” the world is because this and this and this, is happening to me. And see! Look at all these things that are going on in the world outside of my personal life, it is just like I knew it would be because “this” is the way the world IS.”
What is often missing is the understanding that of all the possibilities available and they are countless, what we see and consider the world outside of ourselves is simply a reflection of what we are projecting out into the world being the energy transmitters that we are. So then like attracts like. The same channel we are sending out is what we will tune into and get the physical manifestations of that same channel. Like turning your TV to a particular channel. If you tune your TV to channel 7 and expect to receive what is on channel 11 you will be disappointed. If you want to receive what is on channel 11 you need to tune into that frequency, that particular bandwidth.
So, you and I each have the choice of what we wish the universe to deliver to us. As it can be an almost impossible task to be conscious of and monitor all our thoughts there is a simple way to guarantee what we will be receiving from the Universe is what we really want.
The simple and absolutely effective way to bring into our physical reality what we truly desire is to live in a state of joy, of love and happiness as much as possible. When we live this channel this particular bandwidth that is what we will begin to have reflected back to us and see around us.
From this “state” of being in the world, the universe will bring to us all those things that have just been waiting for our alignment to allow the proper synchronicities to “happen”! All that we really want and desire is waiting in a non-physical place ready to be physically manifested. Our alignment with the higher vibration of love, joy, happiness, bliss and following what we are passionate about puts us in the vibration that allows all we have been desiring to physically manifest in ways we might never have thought probable or possible. From this state of joy we flow with the river of life and it effortlessly takes us to where we most want to go.
I feel and believe it is very true, “ We do not see the world as it is. We see the world as we are.”
Please, let us then, "see" and imagine ourselves into what we desire to "see" things "as". So, if you want to change the way the world “is”, change yourself. Focus more on what brings you love, joy and happiness. Make a study of being in the world in the way that is most fulfilling to you. Study and practice love, joy and what you are passionate about. Allow yourself to be filled with so much love and joy that it naturally overflows from you. Let your way of being in the world become like an overflowing fountain that flows to those about you who are thirsty. You can uplift the world by how you choose to live your life day to day and in each choice you make. Living in joy, living in love is a gift to yourself and all those around you.
You can change the "world" by uniting your thoughts and emotions into the highest picture of your vision of Heaven on Earth. The higher our personal vision, the higher "our" vision of the "world" will become and "reality" will shift accordingly. The higher our united vision of what we desire, the faster the evolution into manifesting the "now" of that vision.
Wishing you all much love and joy in your life, Adama
