What, Me Worry?

There is song by Kanye West on his 808 and Heartbreak CD in which the song says "You're worried about the wrong thing." I connected with that song instantly because a lot of times in my life, I was worried about the wrong thing and that worry increased the very essence of what I was worrying about in my life.

So what is worry? Dictionary.com defines worry as verb:to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret or as a noun: a worried condition or feeling; uneasiness or anxiety.
a cause of uneasiness or anxiety; trouble.

For many years I was worried about not having enough money and I attracted into my experience the condition of not having enough money. Here is where the paradigm shift comes in. There is a very subtle difference between needing and wanting. Simply speaking, wanting is a focus on that which you want to experience, needing comes from a feeling of lack.

The book Law of Attraction by Jerry and Esther Hicks states it this way, "Focusing on a solution(wanting) makes you feel a positive emotion. Focusing on problem(worry) makes you feel negative emotion, and while the differences may be subtle, they are very important, for when you are feeling positive emotion, you are attracting into your experience that which you want. When you are feeling negative emotion, you are attracting into your experience that which you do not want.
So I ask the question, are you focused or worried?

White Stone~New Year New You

After you have completed your releasing ceremony( i.e. Burning Bowl) and have released that which no longer serves you, you now have a clean slate.

The white stone ritual is based on the scripture, Revelation 2:17 which reads" He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches:To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that recieveth it.

In ancient times when a person was released from prison, they were given a new name.  The white stone represents the na name change that one receives when an obstacle is overcome.  The bible demonstrates many name changes but one well known example is when Abram grew into spiritual awareness, he became Abraham. Name also refers to the nature of things.  Your new name could be the nature of forgiveness, prosperity, gratitude, health etc.

Performing Your White Stone Ceremony

For the White Stone Ceremony you will need

• white stone or tile
• paper
• pencil
• candle
• soft music to set the mood

The ceremony begins with a period of meditation.  During this meditation allow yourself to release any thoughts of lack and limitation.  Become still, focus on your breath and ask Spirit to reveal the new name or nature to embodied for the year.  Don't force it, just let it flow naturally.  When you feel comfortable and you believe your name has been revealed to you, write it on your stone and your piece of paper.  Give thanks to Spirit for what has been revealed.  Place your stone and your paper in a place where you will see it daily.

Now you have been given a clean slate.  You have the power of Spirit to love more fully and conciously with this symbol of new beginnings.  Your white stone will serve as a reminder that you have the gift of choice and the ability to connect and co-create with Spirit.

Many Blessings to you! Happy New Year

Healing vs Cure

In Eric Butterworth's Book entitled: The Universe is Calling-Opening to the Divine Through Prayer, he challenges the reader to think differently about a  prayer and really letting go and letting God work.
He writes,"Traditional medicine may do a pretty good job of curing your symptoms, but you can only be healed causally by making a concerted effort at a mental house cleaning...then consciously letting go, and letting God."
He goes on to state,"An aspirin may cure a headache.  But healing can only come through the release of tension and by dissolving the attitudes or emotions that are responsible for the tension."


The mental housecleaning is the daily "renewing of your mind" as stated biblically in Romans 12:2.  Working with your thoughts and attitudes daily can increase the healing power within you to overcome conditions in your life that challenge you.  It consists of tossing out limiting beliefs that are not serving your highest good and replacing them with the Spiritual Truth that God can do no more for you than He can do through you.

What could be possible for you if all of your hurts were healed?
What beliefs about myself are keeping me from living the life I truly desire?
Am I willing to release the beliefs and attitudes that are not serving my highest good?
