BE IN CONTROL UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES

 Ramona welcomed members and guests.  Eddie Conner led us in a guided meditation “Connect with your higher self, heart and soul” via Zoom.  Thank you Eddie for your amazing meditations and for coming to Michigan again this coming July.

In Burbank a member recorded Eddie’s meditation on the same subject as tonight’s meeting.  To listen you will need to download the following file:

Announcements:

Shannon Elhart announced that her new book “The Healing Gift of Gratitude” is now available for sale.  Her book may be purchased online at THE HEALING GIFT OF GRATITUDE BOOK.  

A member had a wonderful experience at Michael Beckwith’s Costa Rican resort and recommends it highly.  Check it out at Rythmia.com.  

The opening video was Abraham-Hicks “You Control Everything Coming to You”    

The key points are:

         Don’t react, flow instead.

         Don’t feed into negativity.

         Be a vibrationalist.

         You get to choose everything.

         Remember only good comes to you.

         Hold yourself in a high vibration.

Tidbits picked up by the audience:

• ·      All is well.
• ·      How to stay in the flow so you remain connected at all times.
• ·      See and hear others with beautiful compassion.
• ·      Train yourself to see others as healed, whole and healthy.
• ·      You can connect with others who feel bad while not getting yourself into their negative mindset.
• ·      Always practice a better-feeling thought and build from there.
• ·      Like nature we have inflection points, ebb and flow.  We can be in these inflection points and not sink into old negative habits.
• ·      Knowledge is power and pure perspective can create the best inner plan to manifest your outer physical world.
• ·      It takes strength and humility to hold your purest vibration regardless of what’s happening around you.
• ·      We can’t NOT attract things to use, but we can control how we view them.
• ·      Don’t argue your limitations.

Each time we have contrast we are launching rockets of desire.  Source sees us as perfect and unconditional love.

Remember Abraham’s recommendation that when someone is attempting to bring us down to their level, just mentally say “I don’t care”.  It’s a form of letting go and feeling good.

The second video was Abraham-Hicks “How to gain control of the way you feel”.    

What are our inner thoughts?  Abraham encourages us to soothe ourselves into alignment.  Remind ourselves of what’s right in our lives, not what’s wrong.  Placing your thoughts and intentions in the forefront of your mind and heart shifts your entire life for the better.  Counting our blessings and focusing on what’s right really works.

How do we get to the point of being in control under all circumstances?  We can leave bad circumstances, but wherever we go, the issue follows.  Why?  Because many times the issue is within us.  We must change our perspectives, our thoughts, and our feelings first so that we don’t repeat history with different people, places, circumstances and situations.

Try acknowledging people’s higher selves when you communicate with them.

Change your perspective.  Change your life… 

… and realign and reconnect to your true core essence so you are in control of your circumstances, not controlled BY them.  When confronted by someone or something that brings back bad memories and feelings, try the following cures:

• ·      Show gratitude and appreciation for what they taught you.
• ·      Bless them.
• ·      Wish them well.
• ·      Send pure feel-good prayers.
• ·      Make a new choice to feel good.
• ·      Acknowledge the negative feeling with love.  Then thank them until you feel it in your heart, mind and soul.
• ·      Remember these feelings, these people cause us to expand.
• ·      Always wish people well.
• ·      Practice forgiveness.
• ·      Love doesn’t hurt; love lifts us up.
• ·      Wish them well and let them go.

Observation – there’s good control and bad control.

Choosing to feel good takes more conscious energy than feeling out of control.  Sometimes our out of control feeling is just a habit of old thoughts that are on auto pilot.

Abraham’s power of meditation practices.

• ·      Start your day with a 5, 10 or 15-minute morning well-being meditation.  This will set the tone for the day and helps you step out of your old, outdated auto-pilot habits.
• ·      When we choose to soothe our thoughts through meditation we live a solution oriented life that feels much better.
• ·      We can’t control others, but we can control how we see, hear and feel the world from core essence.
• ·      Instead of practicing negative thoughts, practice feel-good thoughts.
• ·      Think positive thoughts about what you love in our world – our freedom, beauty, diversity and ease to create our dreams. 
• ·      Ignore the political turmoil.  Think positive thoughts instead.
• ·      Whatever you’re observing is old news, history, already done.  Ignore it.

What does “Living in the Now” mean to us?

• ·      Being present.
• ·      In the now.
• ·      Surrendering without judgement.
• ·      Living the end result now.
• ·      Being in joy.
• ·      Feeling inspired.
• ·      Being uplifted.
• ·      Living in the light.
• ·      OPERATING FROM A BLANK SLATE.  When talking with someone with whom you have history, forget the history – begin as if it is your first conversation with them.

LETTING YOUR DREAMS BE YOUR INSPIRATIONS

Ramona welcomed members and guests and asked the group to share their wins.

Eddie Conner provided another inspiring meditation.  And a BIG THANK YOU to Eddie for always providing wonderful meditations for our group.

The opening video was “Receiving the Gift of your Inspirations” by Abraham Hicks. 

Ramona started the discussion by asking “Who has had a dream come true?” And “Who has dreams that haven’t come true?”. 

Sometimes our dreams don’t come true because we have doubts and contradictions. It’s like having a train with two engines, but one is on the back of the train pulling in the opposite direction. Conflicting thoughts create fear, habit and insecurity because we are not thinking thoughts about what we want.  We are focused on thoughts about what we have, what is.  These are thoughts that don’t serve our purpose.

What happens when we share our dreams with the wrong people? Typically, they tell us every reason our dream won’t come true. It waters down our desires, dreams and goals. When someone tries to tell us why our dream won’t come true, remember to say to yourself “I DON’T CARE!” to release their negativity.

The same is true when we find ourselves telling our story over and over.  Everything we experience is an indication of our being, or NOT being, in alignment. The feeling of alignment has these characteristics:

         That we are in the flow.

         It feels good.

         Appreciation.

         Gratitude.

         Happiness.

As an example,  close your eyes and think of a dream you’ve had for a while.  It hasn’t happened yet…maybe you’ve given up on the dream. It’s like holding a glass of water. For a short time, it doesn’t feel heavy. But after a while, it can feel quite heavy.  The weight of the glass hasn’t changed.  The same is true of our dreams.  Holding on to them will weigh us down and generate other like-minded thoughts.

Some examples of limiting thoughts are:

         I’m not skinny.

         It’s too hard.

         I have bad luck.

         They’ll be jealous of me.

         I’m not smart enough.

So, how do we make our dreams come true? Make a plan but start general, e.g. “I plan to feel good today”. Plan to be in a place where ideas flow easily.  The better we feel, the more effective and better feeling every plan will be.  Then pay attention to emotions.  When they dip down, catch them, rebalance, take deep breaths, meditate, go outside for a breath of fresh air, take a walk.  Continue these activities as needed. Letting go of resistant thoughts will place us in the receiving mode.

Be ready to be ready. Take 15 minutes a day.  Reconnect, meditate, do something to quiet the mind.  The more we do it daily, the more we will be able to say “I’m ready to be ready.”  Ideas will flow.  We are not facing reality…we’re creating it.  And it all starts with getting ourselves into alignment.

The closing video was “Rampage – I like Feeling Good” by Abraham Hicks.
