Abraham on Imagination and Physicality

"Before you can live anything, in what you are calling physical manifestation--you have to have conjured it in vibrational form. You have to have imagined it before it can become a reality. Everything that you are living here in this physical body, you have imagined before you are living it." --- Abraham

Fairy Doors

Do you love fairies? I certainly do. This beautiful, hand-carved Fairy Door was created by Lori Toledo. Each door is unique and I was immediately drawn to this one which actually looks like my own front door!

Lori Toledo is a rustic artist with a focus on high quality, rustic carvings and frames. Her exhibits can be found around the country including, her rustic mirrors.

I recently met Lori at a metaphysical fair in Upstate, New York where she displayed her Fairy Doors. If you would like one of your own, Lori can be contacted at 732-278-5068.

Fairies are God's guardian angels of nature, and they ensure the health and safety of animals, plants, and Mother Earth. In that respect, they also play a significant role in helping and directing us humans. Fairies can also bring a sense of magic, playfulness and romance into our lives.

Joyous Affirmations

"The key is to anchor your desires and expectations within your body", the fairies instructed. "The method that we fairies use, with great success, is to joyously state our desires and expectations mentally or aloud while we move our body in nature. so, you could affirm your expectations while jogging, walking, stretching, or dancing outdoors."

Excerpt from Healing with the Fairies by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D.

Missed The First Six Classes to A New Earth? Here is a Link

So how are you enjoying the Eckhart Tolle/Oprah classes so far? Although the book, A New Earth is excellent reading by itself, the classes add another dimension as people ask the really good questions and share their real life experiences. If you can, the classes are fun to participate in also since they are live with millions around the world in their classroom seats (we actually get virtual seats) and you can ask your questions also or even appear in the class from wherever you are using Skype.

Everything we are learning immediately begins to raise our consciousness, no matter what state we were before and no matter what religion one is affiliated with. It is not about changing ones belief system for another.

What we are learning applies also directly to the Law of Attraction and is so important when consciously manifesting what we want. Being present as much as possible (or all of the time) in everything we do allows us to easily use time, manifest anything much more efficiently and have the kind of life we came to this planet for.

If you missed any of these classes, they can be downloaded in several ways. Chapter 7, "Finding Who You Truly Are" will be discussed live on Monday, April 14th at 9:00 PM EST and the classes are about 90 minutes long.

Here is a link to the previous classes which you can listen to on iTunes, download to CD or DVD, watch the classes on your computer, or even print out the transcripts.

Eckhart Tolle, Oprah and the Gathering of the Pain-Bodies

Although not a happy situation, the image that the "gathering of the pain-bodies" conjures up made me laugh out loud during Oprah and Eckhart Tolle's free online class, A New Earth on March 31st, chapter five. Familiar images of past family reunions came to mind and other such gatherings, including holiday times with friends and relatives. Pain-bodies at such events love, love, love to live in the past. As Eckhart and Oprah mentioned, Thanksgiving and Christmas are the best days for the pain-bodies!

We learned that pain-bodies are like actual entities formed from past pain and negativity we haven't yet faced or dealt with. These entities or thought-forms enter or attach to our bodies and actually feed on negative thoughts, causing some of us to become addicted to negativity. When the negativity isn't dealt with, it goes into the body causing illness, disease, weight gain, rage, etc. The pain-bodies love to reenact negative drama in all relationships including at the workplace, are drawn to negative news and events, enjoy seeing violence and negativity in movies (written and produced, of course, by other pain bodies), etc.

Eckhart taught us that pain-bodies are very cunning and when you meet them, they will find ways to make you unconsciousness, pushing your buttons until you do go unconscious. He warned if you encounter someone's pain-body, don't feed it! And certainly don't confront or address their pain body! Allow that person to be in their pain-body and just listen. He said it takes one person to be present and one to participate.

Eckhart Tolle also explained the importance of clearing up your mind when you find streams of negative talk in your head. We are to:

"Recognize the negativity and step out of the stream of negative thinking.

Come into the present moment. Take one or two conscious breaths. You've stepped out of the stream of thinking.

...or feel the inner body. Feel the aliveness in your arms, your hands, your legs.
Put your attention there. You've stepped out of the stream of thinking.

...or look at something and bring your full consciousness to the act of perception, for example, a tree or a flower--anything natural is best. Look at anything natural and give it your full attention. This takes you out of your stream of thinking.

...or any natural sound that the birds make...or find little ways in which you can step out of the stream of repetitive thinking."

Much more was discussed in this class with people calling in from around the world with excellent questions. On Monday, April 7th the class is on chapter 6 called, "Breaking Free" and what to do to get rid of these pain-bodies once and for all.
