Beliefs Creating Reality - Jul '09

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:

1. The flight will only be an hour and I can survive it.
2. After a short while my nose will become numb to the smells.
3. 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.
4. My body is healthy and strong; it will be able to transmute the chemicals before they really negatively effected me.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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!

In Light, Love & Service,

Lessons From A Snake - Jun '09

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!

Much Love and Joy in your life,
Adama

You Are Strong & Resilient! - May '09

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)

Wishing you much Love in your life,

Change Yourself, Change Your World - Apr '09

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

The Universe Will Deliver Your Desires - Feb '09

When life challenges us with events that are not what we find pleasing we can be sure of several things.

1. We have somehow become in resonance with the frequency or vibration that attracts or allows this event to physically manifest in our life.
2. We can raise and thus change our frequency and vibration so that we invite more pleasing “things” to us into our life.

How we respond to those times when we find that we have intersected with things that are not pleasing to us begins the process of bringing the next things we will set into motion to intersect with. We do not have to deny what is going on or pretend that what is currently manifesting is somehow pleasing or even acceptable. How we respond to what is currently manifesting in our lives sets into motion the chain of events that will lead to more of the same, worse than what is currently manifesting or a continual movement forward into more and more pleasing events to manifest in our life.

What is, really is just what “is” and that is all. It is like driving in your car and running out of gas in an incontinent place. You know exactly what to do; you get more gas for your vehicle and then continue on your way to your intended destination. Finding yourself having manifested something unpleasing, you know what to do, you simply make choices that bring you more “gas” and you continue on you way to the destination you really want to be going. You see you are in charge of this process. Finding yourself stopped and out of gas somewhere is only and indication of thoughts, ideas and emotions that you have put out catching up with you. It is an indication that you have been paying attention putting energy (thoughts and emotions) in a direction that is most likely unintentionally creating this lack of “gas” situation.

The simplest way to get more “gas” is to consciously choose to think thoughts that feel good to you. Thoughts that help you lean in the direction that feels uplifting or even brings just a little bit of relief. Thinking about what it is you want and where you want to go shifts the vibration you have been putting out in a way that will bring you the gas you need to move forward to what you really want. Thinking about the qualities of what you want and how good it would feel having those qualities manifesting in your life right now brings cleaner, higher-octane gas that lets you move faster forward! Moaning about having run out of gas in such a rotten place and how it must be somebody’s fault (other than your own energy management) that you are currently stuck and out of gas or maybe being harsh with yourself for allowing this to happen only prolongs the time it will take to get refueled and worse can set the stage for less pleasant things to arrive.

Imagining the FEELINGS of having what you want as if it was already physically manifested will tell the Universe to bring this “thing” into physical materialization for you. You do not have to figure out how to make this happen. Allow the Universe to bring it into manifestation for you.

Trust that if you do your part:

1. Consciously choosing to focus on thoughts and ideas that feel good to you. Thoughts that help you lean in the direction that feels better or brings relief.
2. Using your intellect and imagination to discern and discover the qualities of the things you wish for rather than just thinking of the specific object.
3. Do all you can to FEEL in the here and now those qualities in your life as if they were currently manifested and a hard physical reality for you.

The Universe will deliver your desiring to you in a way better and more proficiently than if you tried to figure out how to make it happen and bring it to you yourself.

The absolute key in this whole process is bringing you into a state of being that is happy and feeling joy. When you are feeling happy, feeling love flowing through you and focusing on seeing the beauty that is all around you the Universe knows to bring you your hearts desires. Making feeling good a priority in your life, allowing love to be ever present and flowing through you also is the way to be of greatest service to all those around you and the world as a whole.

Wishing you much love, grace & ease during all the shifts and changes this New Year brings,
Adama

Who Is The Healer? - Jan '09

We have made it through some challenging times and the light will begin to shine more and more in each coming day. Please remember that whatever you are currently experiencing is only an indication of past thoughts, feelings and emotions made physical. In the same way as you have made your way to this point in time and all that is unfolding around you, you can write a new story that will manifest into the “now” that will unfold around you.

You have the ability to write a story about yourself and your life that will keep you in basically the same place or move you higher or lower depending on how you choose to write it.

I recommend writing a new story for this New Year filled with all the love, joy and wonder you can possibly imagine!

How you talk and interact with people day to day, how you think and feel and what you choose to focus on and pay attention to is how you write your story.

If you are wanting and desiring some change, tell a new story! Feel this new story as if it were really here and now! Really enjoy how it feels to have all the love in your life you desire even if it is not physically apparent to you right now. Feel how it would feel to have all the money you desire to do all the things you would like to do even if it is not currently in your bank account. Feel how great it feels to have people surrounding you who love and support you in everything you do and all the choices you make even if this is not currently the case. Imagine you are doing exactly the job that is most fulfilling to you and working with others who are supportive and enthusiastic as you are, even if this is not currently happening for you right now. Imagine you feel exuberantly alive, vital, full of energy, optimism, hope and see your life as a marvelous adventure that you are the shinning star of.

When people ask you how you are doing and what is happening in your life tell them of your new story and how wonderful it is. Your job is to believe “it” before you see “it”! When you really do this the Universe moves to make your story “real” and brings about all the things necessary for the story to physically manifest. You absolutely can do this and you have all the skills and tools necessary to do this. You do your job and let the Universe worry about how it will deliver and manifest your story into physical “reality”.

I received the questions below from a very dear client and I thought the answers might be something valuable for you to consider as you start the New Year.

• What is health?
• What is a healing?
• Who is the real healer?

I would define “health” as: The bodies natural state of being in alignment with all dimensions of its physical and non-physical energy systems. The state of being vibrantly alive, loving, joyful, being at ease with the unknown, loving and feeling the love of others. Being at ease with living in the physical world and participating in this Earthly dance.

Healing is the natural response of our bodies to injury, stress and anything that might bring us out of our natural state of health, well-being and balance. Others can assist us to regain our balance and health, like when we offer a hand to a person who has fallen down to help them up. Sometimes offering too much help deprives an individual of doing what is necessary for them to gain the strength, skills and abilities to take care of themselves and this leads to a dependency on the helper to do the “work” for the other person. Sometimes people who call themselves “healers” really are disempowering to others and seek out people who they can “heal”, “fix” and “save” to justify their need to be of service to others.

When we hold people as the true Multi-dimensional Masters that they truly are we realize there is no need to heal, fix or save anyone else. I believe the “real” healer is the individual himself or herself and that a person who can help others to find their own power, alignment and the doorway to discovering how to find their own alignment, balance, healing and health is the real “healer”. The real “healer” stands in their own power and shows the way through the example of their own lives and gently assists others into discovering the Master that they truly are. The person who is a real “healer” holds and energy of balance, health and alignment and radiates love, compassion and caring that is automatically “felt” by those around them that this person is best able to assist them. A real “healer” is a person who can best assist others in regaining their health, alignment and balance through their actively radiating love, their competence in being able to help those around them to shift into a higher vibration through various techniques they may have learned and often just by their high radiating vibration that invites others to raise their own vibration to a higher level. A true “healer” views each person as a Multi-dimensional Master who intuitively know what is best for themselves and is able to assist others to discover the pathway that allows them to re-balance, align and bring themselves into a higher state of vibration thus allowing their natural processes of health and healing to do the necessary adjustments in their energy fields.

We are the real “healer” for ourselves. Others may assist us to find the pathway to our own health. Like when we are lost sometimes asking directions from another helps us find the right direction to go on again. We still are the ones who must make the decision to follow the correct pathway or go through the doorway that leads us to where we desire to go. Others also can give us directions that led us away from where we really want to go and if we trust them and follow their advice or guidance we can find ourselves farther away from our desired destination. So, we can only really bring ourselves into health and we are the ones who allow healing to take place.

One more thought for the New Year that I would like to share with you:

True love is very clear and makes no mandates of another. Love always wishes what is best for others. Love knows that taking care of oneself first, then gives the ability to love. Loving and honoring oneself first and foremost is the foundation that allows us to be of any service to others at all.

In Light, Love & Service,

Telling A Better Story - Dec '08

We have seen a physical manifestation of profound change here in the United States as evidenced by the election of a man to be our President who is not of purely white Anglo-Saxon genetics as well as supporting a platform for progressive change. It is a demonstration of the shift that is happening away from what has been an established order of thinking on many levels. There was much contrast needed for many people to embrace this needed change in perspective. Many people needed to experience some extreme circumstances so they would be open for a change and then to take the necessary actions that will provide more of what they truly desire.

This change, as with all change that is physically manifested, came from the non-physical dreams, requests and desires for a shift in how things were currently physically manifesting. When we continue to do the same things, think the same thoughts and take the same actions we continue to get mostly the same things. There is a definition of crazy that I am fond of: Crazy is doing the same things over and over and then expecting different results. Please let us choose not to be crazy in our thinking.

When I think of “doing” I am more and more concerned with the “thinking”, “dreaming” and “imagining” than of physical actions that are taken. All that is manifested in a physical way comes from the non-physical that then unites and merges into the physical we see in our day to day life.

The “story” that we tell is one way to maintain or to call forth a shift in what we see as our physical day to day existence. This is what we generally call our reality. Our “story” is what we say to ourselves in our mind, our self-talk and what we say to others. If someone asks you “how are you doing?” how you reply is your “story!”

So, if you like how your physical day-to-day reality is going, tell that story. If you are having a really challenging day filled with difficulties and strange and unpleasant interactions and happenings by telling this “story” in a detailed fashion you energetically attune to this frequency and then attract more of the same! You create what becomes you day to day “reality” by the story you tell. You might say, "Well, Adama, I would not be telling the 'truth' if I say something different than exactly how 'IT IS' and I must tell the truth."

Well telling exactly how it is almost guarantees that this is what you will get more of. So, I do my best to tell a story of how I would like it to be, how I would like my present reality to shift to or to remain as. I tell the greater “truth” demonstrating my knowledge of how the Universe works and how I can bring about what I want. On one of those challenging and simply difficult days when I am asked how it is going I often reply, “It has been challenging and it is getting better and better. This is what I would like to see happening and then describe what I would like to see and then say that I know it will be this way shortly.”

My story is not about all my difficulties, challenges and the things that I perceive not working out the way I want them to but about how I want my future to manifest. I know that no matter how difficult things may appear to me at any given “now” point in time that I have the ability to consciously shift what is into something better and more of my desiring. You have this same ability. This is your power and strength. This is why you chose to be physically manifest here on this world, to explore contrast and to consciously create what you desire! We somehow have found ourselves in a society that does not give most of us the real knowledge and tools to create in ways that allow graceful shift and change.

We are brought up to think the harder we WORK, the more we sacrifice and conform to society then eventually we will get what we want. The truth is we can create change in amazing and miraculous ways through our attunement to what we want by our alignment with our Higher-Self and the non-physical actions we take. We all can bring to ourselves the circumstances where we are in the “right” place at the “right” time through our alignment and the story we tell. When we use our natural strength and power to create through our dreams, intentions, the alignment with our Higher-Self and the story we tell the Universe delivers our desiring in amazingly fast and efficient ways. The Universe will give us what we want without us having to do all the physical things that our society and most of our history has taught us is the way to do things and to get the things that we want.

So, please align with your Higher-Self, dream and imagine your highest pictures of how you would like to live and what would be your finest picture of living heaven on earth and then tell your story in a way that supports all you want to manifest. Feel right here and now the joy, love, wealth, the pleasure in the relationships and interactions you want and the Universe will do all in its ability to deliver this to you as quickly and efficiently as possible. Live here and now in joy and love, actually FEELING the joy, the love and the alignment NOW at this point in time and the Universe hears and sets into motion the circumstances to allow the here and now physical manifestations of you desiring. All you have to do is get out of the way of this taking place. You get out of the way by living here and now in love, joy, enthusiasm and having the most fun and delight you can imagine in any now point in time.

I wish you Beautiful Dreaming, Great Love and the Highest Alignment with your Higher-Self! Please feel NOW all the love, pleasure, delight and Joy that having all your hearts desires manifested here and now would give you and then KNOW it is on its way.

In Light, Laughter & Love,
Adama
