What do these patterns reveal? - article by Dr Robert Anthony

"The motions and patterns and connections of things become apparent
on a gut level."
- Robyn Davidson

Have you ever had a moment in time when you were amazed at how
connected things and people are? Sometimes it comes from finding
out that a current friend went to college with someone you both
know or your colleague in a foreign country is reading the very
same book you are at the time. As our world has shrunk and we are
able to communicate so quickly, we now can validate what many have
been saying throughout the ages; we are all connected.

When we are having a difficult time it is easy to forget that we
are connected. It isn't that our connection is ever broken, most
of the time it is because we have closed down our extensions of
connection and forgotten we are not alone.

Have you ever had a bad day lightened up by an interaction with a
stranger? Have you ever had difficulty understanding something and
then received an answer simply by observing nature or animals?

Try this when you are seeking an answer to a question.
Go for a walk in nature, or even just in your neighborhood.
As you walk, suspend thinking about either the question or the
answer and pay attention to your environment. Feel the temperature
of the air on your skin, notice the sound your feet make as you
walk, let your eyes move and see whatever they want to, smell the
air and touch the textures that you pass as you walk. As much as
possible, just be in the moment with the changing scenery as you
walk.

Notice any pattern you see along the way, the way the flowers are
growing, the way the dogs fight for a bone or the stillness of the
evening, as examples. When you come home ask yourself if you have
any answers to your question. Allow whatever is there to emerge.
On a deep gut level, you always know more than you think you do.

Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation
that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT! No matter how
large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will
only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.

Ego -vs- Inner Voice...article by Dr Robert Anthony

"How do these geese know when to fly to the sun? Who tells them the
seasons? How do we, humans, know when it is time to move on? How
do we know when to go? As with the migrant birds, so surely with
us, there is a voice within, if only we would listen to it, that
tells us so certainly when to go forth into the unknown."
- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D.

Trusting yourself is a major sign of surrendering to the Flow. As
in the above quote, the geese don't seem to argue over when it is
time to fly south, they just seem to know. The less victimized you
feel by your background, your work history, your relationship
history, your health, age or anything else, the easier it is for
you to hear that voice within. As you move higher up the Levels of
Awareness, you will find that voice gets louder in every stage. This
is partly due to the reduction of your drama and partly due to your
willingness to hear your own wisdom.

The next step after hearing your inner voice, is to trust what it
says and dare to act on it. That takes practice and you will find
you do a lot of that in the Learning and Experiencing Level of
Awareness. Don't be alarmed if you act on something that you
thought was your inner voice communicating and it proves to be
inaccurate or not in your best interest. Sometimes our egos want
to get into the game and will play tricks on us. How do you know
the difference? That will vary for each of you, but here are a few
tips. The more your inner voice is concerned with being right, the
more likely it is ego, not internal wisdom. If you waffle back and
forth a lot regarding taking action, that is still your ego trying
to be safe. In that case ask yourself, "If I knew I couldn't do it
wrong, what would I do?" That will give you an answer that is not
coming from fear or ego.

Begin to notice how you hear or sense your inner voice when it has
led you in the right direction. Pay special attention to the fact
that it is often not logical. Your inner voice has its own
non-linear way of knowing and communicating. It is your job to
discover your own patterns and trust that no matter what it looks
like on the surface, there are good reasons to honor your internal
wisdom. How many times have you noticed after something you feared
has happened, looking back on it, you realize it was the best
thing for you after all?

and tragedy."

"Making a decision usually means taking one of two roads. One is doing the right thing. To take the other road, you have to sit back and spin a story around the decision or action you are taking. If you find yourself thinking up an elaborate justification for what you are doing, you are not doing the right thing."

Confidence - to expand your consciousness... - article by Dr Robert Anthony

"Like water, which can clearly mirror the sky and the trees only so
long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only reflect the
true image of the Self when it is tranquil and wholly relaxed."
- Indra Devi

Solitude is a vital experience we require in order to grow and
expand our consciousness. Being by yourself in quiet with no other
distractions is one of the best ways to connect deeply with
yourself, nature and your inner voice. Some Personality Types tend
to have a resistance to that kind of experience because of their
Focus of Attention.

However, solitude is a recommended practice for everyone and the
more you don't want to do it, the more you will grow from the
experience.

Solitude is not about being closed down or putting up walls against
intrusion. The kind of solitude that will help you grow and deepen
is when you purposely choose to be by yourself in the silence. It
is not about escaping, it is about stepping into something inviting.

If this subject is making you uncomfortable, start practicing with
thirty minutes at a time and slowly build up to several hours. Once
you have increased to that level, it is recommended that you spend
an overnight by yourself. There are many retreat centers that offer
that kind of experience in groups, if that feels safer to you, or
you can go away by yourself.

However you orchestrate your solitude, don't take anything but a
journal to write in. No books to read, music to play or movies to
watch. Walking in nature is recommended. It is best to talk or
text others as little as possible. In this fast-paced world our
nervous systems can easily be overloaded and even though your
Personality Type might crave stimulus, your body and nervous system
crave quiet and solitude. Try it and see what pearls of wisdom and
benefits you gain.

but it comes from within. It is there all the time."

Schedule Relaxation and Break Time to Keep Your Work-Life Balance in Check

Whether you're hopelessly overworked by a slave-driving boss, or you do what you love for a living and have a hard time walking away from it at the end of the day, the simplest of tricks may be just what you need as a reminder to take breaks, recharge, and spend time with the important people in your life: schedule them like any other appointment or meeting.

It may sound cold, but we've talked about how important it is to use a fixed schedule to keep that balance strong, how you can schedule your work to avoid interruptions, why not apply the same principle to making sure you get away from work and take time to recharge your batteries? The blog Simple Life Habits explains that if you're the type to forget to do those things that are good for you because you're just "too busy," making sure to lock them into your schedule may be just the kick in the pants you need to get up from your desk, go for a walk, or spend time with family and friends.

Ideally, you know how important it is to stop working and go home sometimes, but that doesn't make it less difficult. How do you make sure you take time out for yourself, even if you do what you love? Share your time management tips in the comments.

Sweet Life '' BANANAS...'' A very interesting FACTS

Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!...
This is interesting. After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.


But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

DEPRESSION:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS:
Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

ANEMIA:
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

BLOOD PRESSURE:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

BRAIN POWER:
200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

CONSTIPATION:
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

HANGOVERS:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

HEARTBURN:
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

MORNING SICKNESS:
Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

MOSQUITO BITES:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

NERVES:
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system..

Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

ULCERS:
The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL:
Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has FOUR TIMES the protein, TWICE the carbohydrate, THREE TIMES the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals.. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A BANANA a day keeps the doctor away!'

PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS...
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !!!

Random act of kindness...article by Dr Robert Anthony

"The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention."
- Unknown

A number of years ago it became popular to talk about and practice
"random acts of kindness". That is still an excellent focus of
attention.  It is especially true if you are someone who is caught
up in your own world so much that you seldom see the opportunities
that exist around you for lending just a little touch of kindness.
Your actions can be so simple; give the cashier eye-contact and
genuinely say thank you, hold the door open for the elderly person
with a cane, carry something for someone whose hands are full or
thank the people you live with for doing their share of the

mechanics of living.

Think back to a random act of kindness someone did for you and how
good it felt.  If you are someone who prides yourself on being
self-sufficient, the next time someone offers you a random act of
kindness, receive it.  You will be giving both of you a gift.

Notice all the times you have opportunities to bestow a kind act on
someone and listen to the reasons you don't do it.  Some of the
most common excuses are being too busy, not wanting to interfere or
be intrusive, or not knowing what to say or do.  There are no right
or wrong ways to be kind. Dare to push your limits a bit and take
the first step.

Today practice a random act of kindness and tell no one about it.

death."

Creating Abundance: Affirmations
 
Affirmations are positive statements made over and over. As you repeat them they go directly to your subconscious where they begin to manifest as your reality. Always affirm what you want in present terms, such as "I have unlimited abundance." To create results, your affirmations need to feel possible to create. Repeat your positive statements frequently.

1. Start by thinking of the area you want to create abundance in.
2. List every reason you can think of that you may have been telling yourself why you cannot have abundance in this area. Use a separate sheet if you need to.
3. Take each statement, and turn it into an affirmation.
4. Write on notes or cards your most important affirmations of abundance from the above list. Put them where you can see them. Say these statements aloud and read them often, especially when you want to feel more positive about creating abundance in this area of your life. This is a powerful step to take to

HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY!!!!

2 ways to be rich... another great article by Dr Robert Anthony

"There are two ways of being rich. One is to have all you want, the 
other is to be satisfied with what you have."
- Unknown

How easy is it for you to really feel satisfied?  Look around you
right now and notice your surroundings. Do you like what you see or
do you see what you don't like?   

How do you feel about yourself right now? Can you truly appreciate
yourself today, still knowing there may be aspects you would like
to improve? 

The higher you live on the Levels of Awareness, the more likely you
are to feel satisfied. That's true because the more aware and
capable of making good choices you are, the less you are caught in
struggle.  The higher on the Levels of Awareness you live, the
richer you are likely to feel, not only in terms of finances, but
also in terms of personal satisfaction.

Being satisfied is an inside job. No amount of money or material
good can give you the inner feeling of satisfaction. We are not
taught to be satisfied.  We are taught and trained by the media to
want more. 

Today don't chase satisfaction. Sit still for a moment and let it
bubble up from inside you, like an underground stream.  

Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation
that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT!  No matter how
large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will

3 Keys to happiness and success that most people skip... article by Dr Robert Anthony

We would never start out for a long drive without gas in the car or
leave our pets without food while we are gone for several days. And
yet I find many people who forget to eat or take food with them if
they are going to be gone for several hours.  Both our cars and our
pets need nutrition and fuel everyday.  So do our bodies. 

Many cars require premium gas. It is easy to forget, but your body
also works better on premium fuel. By premium fuel I simply mean
whole grains, vegetables, fruit and lean meats. The energy and 
vibration of your body will rise considerably by feeding it well.

Two other essential factors about the basics of human self-care are
exercise and rest. Just being reasonably active by moving your body
with walking, gardening or playing will increase your current
health and add to your longevity.  Working out at the gym or
playing a sport is even better, if not overdone. Any movement
counts and adds to your health. Current studies show that even ten
minutes of walking is beneficial.

Rest and sleep are the third leg of the stool of balancing your
basic health. In this fast-paced society it is easy to keep going
by drinking caffeine when twenty minutes of rest is what your body
is craving.

When you are stressed or going through change you will fare far
better if you return to the basics of self care; good food, 
adequate exercise, deep sleep and daily rest. 

"How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterward."
- Spanish proverb

Here is my Daily Tarot Card for Wednesday, April 4

"The Six of Chalices card suggests that my power today lies in self-consciousness. I am not alone. It's not too late to make a fresh start or to pursue my hearts desire. The fountain of my youth or my Holy Grail is revealed in the simple pleasures and gestures that are unaware of their own beauty, connection, and power. I am empowered by nostalgia or past perceptions and my gift is rejuvenation."
