Spirit Sustains; Doubt Drains

Spirit Sustains and Doubt Drains

I started thinking of this topic this morning as my mail wouldn’t come in fast as it usually does.

It wasn’t just mail but no site came up fast or easy.

Using a screen reader just added to the challenge.

I started pushing thoughts together and trying to make myself think the mail would come quicker by forcing myself to feel good or push thoughts to form into something I could manage.

The more I tried, the more I got angry which didn’t feel good, as my resistance grew which felt even worse!

I started feeling helpless and then it hit me like a flash of light. Maybe a flash of common sense is more like it, but either way it hit me!

When I got still, and decided to use my imagination to only imagine what I really and absolutely wanted, which was to have my mail and other sites work easily and with out effort.

I started to feel better even though nothing happened so far in the physical.

Something happened in my mind and emotions.

I found the customer support number for my service provider, called, and got a lovely lady who was so pleasant and patient as she explained a few things to me which within ten minutes, my mail was up, andcould open web pages easily, and everything moved fast both sending and receiving as well as surfing are now almost instantaneous.

Who could ask for more I thought.

I learned so much from this one little experience which if I would have allowed myself to stay stuck in the anger, I would never have been able to move to a level of no resistance.

I also didn’t stop my anger. I merely acknowledged it which stopped the resistance and I was able to feel flow which was when I found the customer support number with ease and had a wonderful dialogue with the nice lady who helped me solve this problem.

This issue with sending and receiving mail as well as navigating web pages with ease taught me again that focusing on what I really want is not a bad idea, and very practical indeed.

To me, spirit is like imagination, and doubt is like draining energy like a flopped Souffle

Think about this for a moment. If spirit can sustain, then doubt can drain which to me makes perfect sense.

Spiritual Intelligence

Spiritual intelligence is not neceassarily related to how much you know about your

religion!

Spirituality, may not have anything to do with religion at all.

Spiritual Intelligence can be accessed to improve our spiritual wellness. Spiritual

wellness can:

Help us find meaning in life’s events

Help us to see the beauty in life

Help us to achieve inner peace and calm

Help us create authentic and satisfying lives

Increase harmony in our relationships through compassion.

Help us with a "big picture" perspective that helps us trascend everyday worries.

Work With What Works

Work With What Works

I have not been posting much this past month as I have been busy playing with my brand new Braille display which arrived the middle of January.

This new Braille display already has changed my life for the better as I am now able to feel what I write when I write it, read what I already wrote, edit what I am reading or already wrote which is an entirely new experience for me.Because I am a new user of a Braille display, I am still amazed how the dots appear and disappear and then reappear either by using the delete key or

Whatever method works for me in the moment.

I am not connected to the internet yet as I have much to learn, but I am able to create documents and transfer them to the computer with the stick drive and read them etc.

This Braille display business got me to thinking of not trying to learn the Braille display too quickly as I am into this business of staying in the comfort areas of what works as to what doesn’t work.

This really keeps me connected to how the dots and openings relate to my skating and moving through life in general.

The dots keep me focused, the Braille keeps me connected, and the feel of what the dots represent assists me in my every day moving on and off of the ice.

I got myself into a bit of trouble last year when I tried to push my movements and tried to force myself to move with extra speed on and off of the ice.

The only problem was my movements got smaller and I felt more stuck as I developed too much friction for my blades.

This didn’t happen on the ice alone, but as I was walking, swimming, cooking, going up steps etc.

Everything got more stuck.Why?Because I started believing that I had to push myself through life rather than flow myself through life.

I now know without a doubt that flow works for me instead of friction, and when I have too much friction, the flow stops.

I’m not saying don’t work for a goal or don’t work to become a better skater or whatever.I am stating that as one can learn to feel whatever you do in small and yet very simple and sensitive ways, life will get easier, and the struggles will be less.The challenge with this kind of living is that it takes some patience.It takes some getting use to being with this kind of gentle but yet so powerful energy and when we choose to really use it, this will change your life for the better.You can do it as I am doing it one little step or one little dot at a time!

Remember, the vision of what you want still will maintain itself.The only trick is to remain patient

Which will allow you to grow with flow instead of friction.Play and experiment with these ideas and feel and see what happens.

Thanks To Wayne, I have another clip of me skating.

You’ll Never Walk Alone

This is a perfect example of what happened when I trusted the flow and felt for it rather than fought it.

Roger Rizzo A Real Miracle

Thank you Doctor Carole for introducing me to Roger Rizzo

Dr. Carole’s Couch 1/29/09

Overcoming Blindness (real and mental) to Reach Peak Potential

Today’s guests will inspire you with their courageous stories of overcoming adversity. Stash Serafin, a renowned figure skater despite being blind from birth, and co-author of You Can’t Get It ’Cause You’ve Already Got It!, teaches people to stop putting their dreams on ice. Roger Rizzo, author of An Almost Fatal Miracle, overcame ’blindness’ of another sort, when a motorcycle accident made him see what is really important in life.

Check out Doctor Carol’s Site and click on radio and you can hear this inspiring interview. http://www.drcarole.com

On June 30, 1995, a horrible motorcycle accident changed civil trial attorney Roger Daniel Rizzo’s life forever. His body battered and crushed, he experienced severe, traumatic brain injury that left him in danger of becoming a human vegetable.  He was in a coma for over six weeks and he awoke to reality after 5-1/2 months in the hospital. All along the doctors told his family that he would in all likelihood die. After awakening, he became aware that he had suffered massive injuries.He also soon discovered that every aspect of his life had been irrevocably altered: his home, social status, family, job, friendships, and dreams. His life was at a cross roads. While he underwent extensive rehabilitation, Rizzo began to ponder why he was alive and what he hoped to accomplish during his brief existence on Earth, an existence that had nearly come to an abrupt end. As he slowly yet steadily overcame his disabilities, he realized that he had not been truly achieving his life’s destiny. After considerable contemplation, he came to realize that his life path involved assisting others primarily by performing volunteer work.

Rizzo invites you to examine your pursuits and choices in life to determine whether they have been consistent with divine designs and intentions. You do not have to wait for a death-defying accident; just to follow his insightful story of recovery and self-examination and discover your true mission in life.

Who Should Read This Book:

Those who suffered brain injury and their family or friends.Persons who are severely disabled or extremely ill based on any cause. Persons who are elderly. They also can witness through reading the book the state of mind of someone who was on the doorsteps of death for so very long and see how he changed his life entirely to what he reasoned truly mattered while alive here on earth.

Persons who are religious. This book will enable them to experience what an individual who was on the very brink of death says about his inspired beliefs concerning the nature of God. Persons who are Atheistic or Agnostic. These individuals should welcome the opportunity o read what an ordinary individual, not a priest or minister or deacon, who is not formally a part of a church structure has to say about his close encounter with death. Those people who assist others in care giving. They would learn about an individual who spends almost all of his waking hours helpingother people.

“AN ALMOST FATAL MIRACLE”  Should Be Exceptional Reading For Everyone

Authenticity

I want to thank Michele Gentile for writing such a great post from today’s show with Doctor Deborah Miller

Authenticity: Dressing your Truth with Dr. Deborah Miller

2-2-09

Todays show focused on authenticity- our inner light and what that means to us. We

explored the ideas that when we remove the obstacles to shining our "inner light"

or true essence, we are free and able to:

love ourselves

increase our feelings of self worth

feel loved by others because they know who we are, not who we are pretending to be

understand our differences as our uniqueness and accept them

become accepting of other people’s differences and not try to "change" them which

creates resistance

"shine" which is an attractivesness and beauty in its own right.
