We live in a day and age that many people will live up to one hundred years old.  It is an era that bodies have less physical stress and we have the knowledge to eat better food, proactive and preventative medical health.  However many people are dying in their 50’s and 60’s from various diseases.

It has well documented that almost all illnesses have a psychosomatic source or cause so addressing our personal issues is imperative.  Maybe what we need to ask is, “What state of being do I need to be in that best suits me being healthy?”  The simplest answer, be happy for as much of your life as possible and resolve anything that is in your way to being happy.

It is a choice that we make to find happiness on a daily, hour to hour and minute to minute basis.  We are taught to look at ‘what’s wrong’ instead of enjoying what is right.  Not that we should avoid our issues or problems that arise, it is important to hit them head on and once we are through them to move on to our happier side.

As we grow older it is a time to enjoy our accomplishments, find satisfaction in the person we have become and do the things that fulfill us.  As we grow older it is even more important to remain in a state of discovery.  To learn new information, grow into more evolved emotional states.  The wise older person only becomes wise if they have fulfill their own curiosity and answered the questions that their own life has brought them to.  The wise matured person most likely will not be stimulated by the same things they did in their thirties or forties.  Routine, repetition as a way of life can be numbing which ages us.  Breaking free to new adventures is very important.   Life is a continual changing process of delightful growing experiences if we guide ourselves accordingly.  When they grow into this creative state of being life is full in its own rich way and our body responds, with vitality.

I recall one of my friends years back talking about a great new guy they had met.  He seemed to be just perfect.  As we talked it was all she wanted to discuss in of the possibilities the relationship was going to become such as: how much fun they would have, traveling together would be wonderful because he had such a good sense of humor and her father was sure to like him.  My friend was projecting into the fantasy of what it would be like with this new fascination.  Somewhere she sending a part of her energy to fantasize into creating a reality with this man.  Unfortunately what she was creating was not in the here and now.

Fantasies can be one of our biggest stumbling blocks because they are often to always not creating our life with them.  To fantasize can take us to places that is not about creating something in this reality.  What my friend missed with the fantasy was creating the future dreams to make her become excited.  To fantasize in order to charge up our adrenal glands is not a good ideal.  In fact it can become an addictive pleasure.  How much do people live in their fantasies and send a large part of their power to manifest in these unreal worlds?  Anyone read about Walter Mitty?

Instead of the world to fantasize we can visualize.  For example for those in love: what it felt like to be with the person, how it made their heart feel.  Then to take the feeling and let that sensation be with us.  It is not so much that the other person makes us feel that way but us remembering that warm love within us.   Most importantly to know we can live that love every day, regardless if we have a boyfriend.  It is why feeling like a million bucks in our personal life and being satisfied with the person we are will attract money to us.  We are communicating to ourselves and a higher source we are the energy of love or money, therefore it comes to us easier and we deserve it.

Even if we do adore someone; sharing with a friend the qualities that you like about the person, the experiences you had together and how you felt resonates the energy in the present, it supports our vision. As soon as we project how it will be in the future we begin to fantasize.  Placing our attraction for someone as just an energy and we are willing to let it grow from there is a visualization.  We are placing our energy and intention into something we desire, the difference is we our not into the outcome, we are putting the energy into the present creation.  Then we go about doing the things that best manifest it.   A much more powerful place.

Creation is like a spider web you may be seeing only the center that you are stuck in but there is a whole other world woven all around you that is connected to your actions.  Then there is the spider?

What I have learned about total creativity and creating what we desire is; we have hundreds to thousands of internal paradigms that live within us telling us that we cannot create spontaneously in magical ways.  I love identifying and transforming those limitations.

The magic in creativity is a bit like a thunderstorm in that they show up spontaneously, but certain conditions make them more likely to happen.  Like the thunder it sends an energy forth that affects everything in ways we do not comprehend and sometimes destroys things for something else to grow in its place.

It is like feeling a goal and visualizing how it would be in my life, what would it feel like to double my income.  Not project how I would spend it but all of the sensations it would feel like being that reality.  Feel the joy of that in your body allowing it to be everywhere in you. Not so much in your head of figuring it out how to do it.

Of course goals attained take most likely take more than visualizations, they require us to go out into the world and do it. Do it with curiosity, enjoyment and openness to receive where the journey takes you.

Dreams, creations and creating life forms are best manifested when we deeply know what we want.

I enjoy teaching classes in communing with nature, people learn how to feel the energies of trees and nature.  The forest is a great place to learn these skills of perceiving energy because a tree’s energy is powerful and has no defenses.  People are generally blown away how easy it is to talk to trees and feel into the earth.  For many they are beginning their vocabulary in comprehending energy.  The more they ask their body to perceive this the body generally responds by giving them more interpretations of the colossal sensory reality the body lives in.

It is an ongoing process of becoming a clearer channel to what our body can communicate to us.  One of the biggest blocks to receiving our body’s input is our mind’s reality of linear thinking.  The linear world has its place in our life but the other side of human consciousness, the clairvoyant is a part of us as well.

One of the easiest things that we can do is simply ask to perceive what our body is telling us.  Be willing to listen.  If we make a choice to listen within us more our bodies will respond by signaling to us in some way/s.  Whatever we are experiencing in our daily lives our bodies are responding and giving us information.  It is important to feel the sensations of your body.  You may be feeling tension in your stomach, lightness in your heart, a chill in your spine or various other feedback.  Ask your body what is the sensation about.  Often the next thought that occurs will parallel with what your body is telling you.

For me, when I felt information an inner voice came up from my stomach, I knew that my expanded voice of my body was messaging to me.  It has been a process of learning to hear this inner voice that is more infinite than my mind and has knowing that takes in the world beyond my physical presence.   Like any muscle practice and application develop it’s abilities.

In my experience the more that I resolve inner conflicts my abilities to decipher my body’s sensory systems improves.  Suppressed emotions and traumas block our psychic abilities.  What we suppress in our life is energetically recorded in our body.  Our cognitive memory is paired with these repressed emotions in our body.  Doing some kind of energetic body oriented therapy along side the exploration of the stories resolves these issues so that your body is more free to convey information in an intuitive way to our mind.  The body wants to communicate this stuff to us as it heals us and creates more awareness.  You body will reward you if you do the inner work that it may need.

To evolve to a higher state of consciousness the answers are not beyond you but within.  It is truly a body, mind and soul communion to expand our consciousness.  The more we ask to receive awareness our body will deliver.

Think of the vitality of ourselves as a cup.  What creates our vitality is the joy we have for life.  Each moment of our lives that we are internally joyous inside we are putting into our cup a life energy.  It comes from the things that help remind us that life is a wonderous journey.  We may get it from watching our children, petting our cat, meditating, walking in the forest, communing with a higher source, resolving an issue and more.  It is a self-acknowledgement of who we truly are.

The more we continue to put into our cup we are building a power within us, a vitality or power of creation.  One that helps us in our health but also builds an energy to manifest what our intentions are placed upon.  Enjoying our life is powerful.  It is a confirmation to a higher source that we deserve more.

When we have negative self-talk, or unconscious beliefs that work against us we are filling our cup with those energies as well.  The more we resolve this and get clear of who we are we have less conflicting messages to send to the universe of what we really wish to create.  This is just as important as filling the cup with the joyful messages.

We are building a muscle to stay focused on what we really wish to become.  We exercise it in a positive way and life comes to us.  Force, effort, anger and stress in creating our life are not the effective and fun ways to live.  We can choose something much more fun.

I was sitting and contemplating why I felt so disconnected that day. Things did not feel right.  It did not make sense because I had been resolving some big issues in my life that was affirming, progress on my upcoming book was good and was busy with other projects.  So I asked the question, “What is it that is creating the feeling of disconnection in me?”

The answer came up almost immediately, you are not willing to be in communion with a higher source.  Wow!  In that moment I knew it was true.  I was so involved with writing, networking, processing my life and other projects that I was not doing something very important inviting god into my life.  I was doing all of this on my own.

Inviting god in is one of the easiest things and people do it in multitudes of ways.  There is no right or wrong way, it is what is best works for you.  Some people say a prayer, others acknowledge their powerlessness in life and ask god to come in, others meditate to invite god in and there are many more.  For some it is a daily acknowledgement, others it is almost moment-by-moment exercise.

For me I became involved in the spiritual aspects of my life by exploring the internal side of the higher sources within me. It has given me enormous growth especially when I resolve the limitations that I have created in my life.  I discover a new freedom inside of me that empowers a connection to the god within me.  I am a clearer channel to source by resolving my inner conflicts.

God exists not only within but beyond and all around us (people, places and things).  This is what I forgot that morning and I felt empty as a result.  I began inviting god in my life, also inviting in the energy of places that I felt as sacred and all of the energies around me in my neighborhood.  As I invited each of these energies in I felt their presence inside of me, each felt different but they were all important.  Suddenly I felt connected and a part of the bigger whole.

Sometimes we can become so involved in our lives, it challenges us and in the desire to accomplish that we become so internal we forget about the bigger whole.  It is part of the ego that wants us to pull inward into ourselves totally, or totally the opposite, to be fully external and never venture into our inner world.  Connection best occurs when we are in communion with all of our abilities within and beyond.

Becoming aware of your energetic being is the process of realizing the ability to perceive the energy of every; thing, being and situation.  The opposite end would be the analytical side of figuring out every aspect of our life from an intellectual point of view.

All living things and inanimate objects have an energetic presence that vibrates within them and emanates outward.  We all have the talent to perceive it.  Like the concept of “The Force” from the popular Star Wars movies but we do not have to be Jedi’s to hook into it.

The critical concept to perceiving the energy of your surroundings is learning to perceive the energies that occur within your body.  Your body’s awareness is interacting with your surroundings all of the time but few have yet their intention to discovering something that can be easy to learn.

The key parts to perceiving energy are asking, listening and trusting.

We can ask questions such as, “What is the energy of the oak tree beside me?”  Then see what occurs within us. What ever occurs we trust it is the information of the oak whether we can understand it or not.

I have used this type of questioning in thousands of situations over the years to receive the energies of such topics as nature, foods that are best for me to eat, if there is energy with the things that I would like to create, potential business relationships and countless more.   I simply ask, “What is the energy of blank in my life?”  Sometimes the energy feels big which means it is a strong possibility other times it is flat and I get information that it is not much of a possibility.

As I have developed with this perspective and I have released more of my personal issues that limit my ability to access my body the information is more than a resonance of energy.  I receive messages in words, visions and I see even the quality of energies has a wide variety.  With these blessings giving me more information to make choices in my life.

It is a process of getting out of the intellect and into listening within to the world around us.  Over the years I have transitioned from a thinker to a perceiver.  Now I am someone who directs his attention to an energetic being or situation and perceives the energy.  Coming clear with the logistics are used later after seeing what it feels like.  It is such a faster way of being because energy can tell me the whole picture of a situation.  It gives much more information than a story, research or instructions.  The more I make decisions this way I am happier with my life and what I create.  It is a big part of magical living.

In the ongoing journey of discovery our greatness I am confronted with bouts of regression to behaviors that I had though I resolved.  It feels like phantom behaviors that re-emerge to come into my mind.  It only makes sense because some of our maladaptive behaviors were used for years on end.  Now in the current years that I have committed to heal I plan to heal all of this in a matter of a few years.  I sometimes forget it is a process of peaks, plateaus and dips in the road.

When I have old behaviors return without asking I go through a process.  The first question is the behavior activated from something in my past that I have yet to discover in myself?  Next, is there something that is coming up and the behavior is the result of it?

The other day I was constantly retreating into a fantasy of being a sports star.  It is a part of my grandiose past that I used as a fantasy to escape into so I would not feel the pain I experienced as a teenager.  I have combed over these past years and felt I had discovered every part of this past.  However the past behavior continued.  I could not find any part of my past that resonated with this fantasy.  So step one was not working, time for step two.

I reflected on where the energy of the fantasy originated.  As I felt what parts of my body were stimulated the fantasy; I felt the energy resonate in my solar plexus.  That made lots of sense because the fantasy was about taking action and the solar plexus is about taking action in the world.  I knew what to do.

I began meditating on my solar plexus and sending the energy of allowance and forgiveness to that area.  Like the time when I was a teen I judged that my actions were ineffective, the fantasy was a world where I was great.  These were phantom energies acting out.  It was not a large past unresolved scenario that was hiding undiscovered.  It was something much more subtle and smaller yet it still was making a wave in my psychic.

After meditating by focusing a unconditional loving energy into the limited energy in my solar plexus it seemed to lift.  I was no longer triggered to repeatedly go into fantasy.

When we are confronted with our own behaviors and wish to let them go it is always a good general rule to ask what is our current behavior stimulated from?  It is most likely some memory of our suppressed past that is the source.  Sometimes for those that have done lots of work on themselves and perceive the undesired current behavior resolved it is a smaller phantom of something that has been resolved. But wonder why it is still coming back in some form we may need a fine-tuning of our energetic centers. Nurturing the distress area or situation may be the most effective remedy.

I recently saw the popular movie “The Blind Side” starring Sandra Bullock and was impressed with many of its messages.  The main story of course was the endearing relationship between Sandra Bullock’s character and the young man from the projects, Big Mike.

There is another message that I found very affirming was Sandra Bullock’s family and their relationship with wealth.  The family modeled that you can be rich and be happy.  Every member in the family exhibited a wholeness within that gave the message that they were complete as individuals.  Money was just the by-product of their prosperity whose real source of wealth was within them.

The character “Big Mike” resonanted with the joy of the family because in his own world he had the gift of wholeness within him self.  It was expressed in his kindness and ability to protect others.  The life of living in a ghetto and foster homes were past layers that covered over his real gift of love.

Sandra Bullock’s character helped Big Mike reveal his gifts to himself and others.  They as a family were all richer for Michael’s discovery and were affirmed as a unit that they could all be whole and happy regardless of the circumstances.

I just saw the movie “Avatar” and like everyone was mesmerized with the special effects of the movie witnessing the beauty of the jungle world.   The magic of the movie was beyond the special effects but the connection the jungle Avatar people had to the land.  They knew the communion and respect with all life was the key to their paradise.  The human earth beings were unaware of such a paradise but saw it as a place to exploit.  The opposition of the two species told of an old archetypical challenge of a new state of mind challenged by the more traditional opinion.

In this day and age it seems like there are two kinds of people, those who wish to awaken and the others that want the best riches this world has to offer without concern of the repercussions.  Like a wide range linear scale we have those who are expanding the planet in a wide variety of ways from environmentalism to expanding consciousness on one end and at the other end those who take advantage of resources, terrorism, living life in a numb way and many more.

What can you do if you wish for our world to awaken?  The answer is simple.  Keep stretching the scale by growing our talents and awareness.  It is a time for pioneers to be more courageous to break open new boundaries.  The more we develop inside we invite others to expand by our changes alone.  We do not have to directly teach another with what we know in order for them to receive the benefits of our talents.

In the book “The One Hundreth Monkey” the author explains when a certain percentage of people or species learn a concept the information is easily comprehended by everyone.   It is important for us to remember to continue to teach, speak and become the energy of an expanding consciousness as the concepts will become more accessible to the masses.

I began my practice of Access Energy Transformation eight years ago and when I shared the concept that words could actually release emotional limitations through the use of a clearing statement I would see most people’s eyes glaze over as they did not have a reference for the work.  They basically found the ideals unbelievable.  Since that time there are a variety of modalities in the field of energetic psychology and it seems to make the ideal of clearing statements a plausible topic.  People may not understand the concepts but they are more accepting, eventually those same people who once rolled their eyes are trying a session.

In my opinion it is not a totally rational decision but a general acceptance of a concept that makes it widespread.  I dare say that there is a vibrational component to the acceptance of a concept, when enough people know it the consciousness spreads forth from them to influence others.

Joseph Campbell said the one breakthrough message that brought the concept of UFOs from skepticism to acknowledgment was the movie “Star Wars”.   We get a message and spread it forth to the world.  With that in mind could social media tools like Facebook or U Tube be the greatest promoter of world peace?  This planet is a bit smaller due to their presence.

What can save the world is awareness.  The more we gain our own inner clarity of our own evolution we spread that forth.  Is the concept that “everything on the earth is connected and have the consciousness to perceive it all” has its time come?  If “Avatar” affects the world like “Star Wars” did then the answer is yes.  This is a time to grow.  Being open to perceive your surrounding and become the possibilities requires you to be willing to go forth.
