Here is one of my favorite positive affirmation statements:
It is when you no longer feel the need for money that money will come. The feeling of needing money comes from the thought that you don't have enough, and so you continue to create not having enough money.
You are always creating, and when it comes to money, you are either creating the lack of it or the abundance of it.
Rhonda Byrne
Creator of The Secret
Here is an excerpt from the book, How to Be Rich ~ Compact Wisdom from the World's Greatest Wealth-Builders.
Watch Your Thoughts, Hate Within, Hovel Without.
There are childish states of consciousness that operate against material harmony. Worry, hate, fear, anxiety and condemnation are interior pivots for exterior hovels. Wherever we rest our ideas and energies, substance must gather round.
"Envy is the ulcer of the soul," said Socrates.
A mind that has been poised through incarnations in the belief of poverty and its power, and backs this belief in the present with childish states of mind - anger, worry and fear, will find poverty abiding with it.
(From The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles, 1910)
A lovely quote by author Louise L. Hay, from her book ~ Heart Thoughts.
We do not have to
know how to
forgive.
All we have to do
is be willing
to forgive.
The
Universe will
take care of the how.
Have a beautiful day,

What do you think about energy? Specifically your energy?
What are your thoughts about the subtle energy system of Chakras?
Do you think if you had an understanding of your energetic self that you could shift your life experiences to be filled with more grace and flow?
Carol Tuttle's dynamic and compassionate teaching ability demonstrates that she most certainly has a few ideas and healing directions for you. I have included a video that is part of a sales page tool for Carol Tuttle's chakra system. However, there is so much information in this eight minute video that I highly recommend that you watch it several times. You may be delighted to find that every time you re-visit the video there is another gem waiting for you in her garden of information.
The video on this posting is one in a group of seven that fulfill an overall view of the chakras from Carol Tuttle.
The most obvious gift to take away from this video about the root chakra or the first chakra is that the energizing color for this chakra is red. Carol also shares that one of the healing techniques for this chakra to open is to stamp your feet.
I know it's easy to sit and listen and watch, but in this offering consider being available to actually take the action that she suggests.
I am really enjoying soaking up all this subtle energy information. I find it facilitates a creative process for an inner exploration of me. There is just a gentle feeling of listening and that is the only requirement on my part.
The set up for this video is as follows:
Are your Chakras open or closed?
Root Chakra is responsible for your career, money mindset and sense of belonging. If it is blocked you are stuck in a unfulfilling and unrewarding career, you never seem to have enough money - which leaves you worried and in debt.
Spending money is a harrowing experience for you as you doubt your ability to budget effectively. You suffer from weight or body issues, which leave you feeling unworthy and uncomfortable in your own skin.

Re-Designing a person's space and working with the placement of their personal collection of artwork is really a interesting practice that I enjoy. When I combined my years of Feng Shui with Interior Re-Design my education included gaining some information that is really quite empowering.
People buy in themes.
You may want to awaken your senses right now by looking at your artwork on your walls. You may not be aware that you buy the same focus over and over again. My favorite example of this is a woman who wanted a more harmonious feeling in her home. In the process of Re-Design we begin with the client and together we take all of their art collection and put it in one room. It can be quite startling to see what your theme is and overall focus. This particular client had several paintings of Robert Bateman the wildlife artist. We were able to see all of the fire energy (animals) that was being represented in the artwork and by combining the two worlds of Re-Design with the art of placement (Feng Shui) maximize the harmony in her space. My point is that we focus on our artwork and buy it from our internal emotional reservoir. When you take the time to look at every piece of artwork you are freeing up your mind to make a conscious space for the areas of your life that would benefit from a new focus. This awareness will give you the self confidence to edit your surroundings with things that truly support you on a path of self kindness.
I remember years ago when I first saw Dr. Emoto's water crystal photographs.
Dr. Emoto's book, The Hidden Messages in Water was released in 2005. My collection of affirmation tags launched in 2003 and I was so excited that his scientific photo essays were showing that what you focus on and think of can change the shape of a water drop crystal. I remember taping LOVE onto the bottom of my water bottle so I could embrace the softness of that vibration in my life. It was kind of fun to do that. I also took my own charms and put them on a little chain around the bottle but they were always falling off. Whenever I visit Dr. Emoto's collection of crystal photographs I am deeply inspired. It makes me want to focus on all and everything that is beautiful on this planet earth.
I put together three videos of Dr. Emoto that I compiled from various Google resources. I never did acquire Dr. Emoto's book, because I know that through my own life discoveries the value of the words we choose to focus on. However by creating this post on the value of finding ourselves through what we focus on I will be adding at least one of his books to my library.
This first video is a brief biography of Dr. Emoto and his photos. Enjoy!

Messages from Water.
This documentary shows how Dr. Emoto originally created his photographs and how they actually froze the water drops. It is 40 minutes in length, has English subtitles in parts of the program and has a lot of information in it to absorb.
If you were to know me, you would understand that I have a habit of singing throughout the day. It's not long - I usually burst out with "la la lah..." likened to the sound of three piano keys, or I would like to think. It happens to me without notice and before I know it my little song has been sung. I pretty much keep a water bottle with me at all times as well. All these years I have been singing to my water and infusing it with the good vibrations of enthusiasm. I have a few songs that stay with me and it makes me smile to think of them and hum a few bars.
This is one of them....
