Have you ever noticed
how some people seem so passionate about life…whether they are
talking about their jobs, hobbies, families, or favorite causes.
It's almost as though they know the secret to a fulfilling life.
And perhaps they do. But observe them closely and you’ll discover
their secret. People with an uncommon zest for life have mastered
the art of living from the inside out. Instead of setting their
goals and judging their success by what others think, they live
according to their own values, their own passions, and their
own inner voice. In other words, they live an authentic life.
Knowing, respecting,
and expressing your true self is probably the single most important
factor in attaining satisfaction with life. In today’s fast-paced
society, it is so easy to get trapped in the busyness habit.
Day after day millions of us get up, head out, and just keep
running until we drop…often without any sense of satisfaction.
Why? Because we get stuck in a rut of moving without intent,
thinking less than optimal thoughts, and starving ourselves
for inspiration.
So, how do you get your life back on track when it seems to
be careening out of control? One way is to take time to reflect
on what’s best for you next -your soul’s desires. Listen to
your inner wisdom, by sitting in silence, communing with nature,
breathing deeply, or whatever else quiets your distracted mind.
Spend time in your settled state each day. Just relax and enjoy,
or pose a question if you wish (“What do I want?” “How can I
serve?” “What am I to learn?”). Then see what bubbles up…following
your meditation or later when quite unexpected.
Or you might consider
easing out your inner intent by writing a dream letter to a
dear friend (you don’t have to mail it!). Pretend it is one
year from now, and you are writing, describing your new soul-tickling
life. Where are you living? Whose love do you share? How are
you using your gifts? What are you enjoying? Describe the life
you want as if you were already living it. A dream life is founded
on purpose, structured on core preferences, and embellished
with personal desires.
A second way to bring your inner and outer lives into synch
is to talk to yourself…nicely. . . To read the remainder

Humans are a unique
species in the cosmos in that they are able to self-generate
love and spiritual awareness.
As we advance on our spiritual and personal growth paths,
we increase our potential, our spiritual and intuitive
sides
and, most significantly, we increase our ability to generate
a spiritually fulfilling, loving and rewarding life.
This
is when we are creating a new life in which we experience
Heaven on Earth. Join K2 this Easter

Opportunity Knocks! It's
Our Choice to Listen or Not to Listen
|
By:
Kalyn Raphael
|
 Opportunity
- it is like a four letter word, with extra letters. Life
is a busy thing. We generally don't have the time or energy
for all of the things we need to do, let alone to take
advantage of an opportunity that may come our way. For
some of us, just hearing the word opportunity makes us
tired or it causes us to stop listening. After all, doesn't
opportunity often mean extra work and effort?
Many of us would like a break in life. We'd like to get
help and have some things shift and change so that we
could get ahead or improve our lives. We would welcome
a promotion at work, a bonus check, and relief from some
of our responsibilities. Who wouldn't appreciate the chance,
the opportunity, to make something in their lives easier,
more manageable or to just solve some problems?
Breaks in life do come to all of us. Life is not our
enemy; it is not "out to get us" or to make
our lives a living hell. Quite the contrary, life is
an endless
flow of growth and opportunities. When we have problems
and challenges in our lives, it isn't the world around
us that we need to change - it is ourselves. We need
to
have a healthy and positive perspective of life in order
to recognize life's gifts. The same is true for the gift
of opportunity that life brings us. Opportunity is there
in our lives every day, but the difference between people
who seem like everything works out for them and the people
who seem like nothing works out for them is simply in
each person's ability to recognize and take life’s gifts.
Opportunity is a break; a leg up that life offers us.
It's our chance to change ourselves so that what we currently
experience as a problem or hardships can be transformed
into a solution or an easy ship.
Of course, this comes at a cost because it does take work.
Universal laws dictate that there must always be a flow;
there must always be an exchange. In order for us to receive,
we must also give. In order for us to experience a solution,
we must give of ourselves towards receiving that solution.
And this is where so many people get lost! Their perspective
is that a break in life should mean that they only receive.
They miss the key aspect to the flow of this exchange.
Life is nothing more than one experience after another.
Having money allows us to purchase experiences we desire
such as a bigger house or a trip around the world. Relationships
allow us to experience love, friendship and sharing. Our
hobbies and pursuits in life are nothing but experiences
in which we get to know another aspect of life at a closer
level. Opportunities are really like guides or angels,
pointing us in the direction of experiences that will
enrich our lives. The resistance to an opportunity that
people have is nothing more than the fear of change or
a misunderstanding of what an opportunity really is.
Accepting an opportunity, including the time and effort
involved, brings us to a new, higher level in life. At
this new evolved level, we find that our problems transform
and we become someone that has a carefree and smooth life.
Now our life experiences are more enjoyable because we
have begun to work in the flow of life and we have truly
opened ourselves to receive the gifts life offers.
No matter how bad our situation seems to be, life always
has opportunities available to us. However, we must be
willing to see them. While feeling burdened by our worries
and problems, it is hard to choose to see these gifts
in disguise. Problems are gifts with an unattractive wrapping,
but they are gifts nonetheless. It is those things in
life that feel like endless problems and those places
in life where we feel stuck or helpless that offer the
greatest gifts in life. A problem in our lives is just
a place in ourselves lacking attention and energy - an
experience waiting to be had.
Opportunities come in all shapes and sizes. For example,
feeling like you can't get enough done and that there
is always so much more to do is a common experience. This
is simply an opportunity for us to evaluate our expectations.
When we are realistic about what we want to get done,
we can't experience the disappointment or the overwhelming
feeling of never-ending work. Another opportunity in feeling
like we can't get enough done is the opportunity to evaluate
what is really important to us. We may have a long list
of things to do, but wisdom is the ability to decide what
is truly most important.
Opportunities are even present in large, challenging situations.
A good friend of mine lives in Japan where she is always
treated as a foreigner, keeping her from deeply bonding
with people. She dreams of having good friends and feeling
more comfortable in Japan and she used to feel as though
this was a problem with no solution. Her opportunity is
to find another way to connect with life by finding what
it is that she is truly passionate about, what it is that
she truly loves doing. She has discovered that this opportunity
provides her the time to explore different interests now.
In time, she will find that by taking advantage of this
opportunity, by doing what she is passionate about, she
will meet many new people and will eventually have all
the friendships of which she currently just dreams.
It is true that finding the time and energy to take an
opportunity can be challenging. However, those who find
the means to take the opportunity have a special sight
themselves. They are able to perceive that opportunity
is knocking and that they must open the door, that the
gift in the opportunity cannot be missed. Of course, anyone
can choose to hold this perspective too - it is a simply
a choice we all make.
Opportunity knocks in our lives; it knocks at work and
at home - in problems and relationships. Opportunity knocks
every day in our life. The question is whether we choose
to perceive the knock as a gift being delivered or whether
we ignore the knock, allowing ourselves to feel too busy
to answer the call. |

Feng Shui Abundance Tip:
In Feng Shui
we work with energy, shifting and changing it to enhance its
effect on us and our lives. This is primarily done using universal
laws of energy.
However, you
don't have to be an expert to work with energy and to attract
abundance into your life!
 Try
this simple tip: Place a small
box with 9 coins in it under your bed. The coins should be placed
directly under the space where your left hand rests when you
sleep. Your coins can be gold or any other coin. Nothing else
should be under your bed.
Do you wish to enjoy a life of abundance? Sure, it sounds great,
and you think that it is too good to be true! It is not too
good- it takes work on your part!
If you are willing
to open to life, to change some behaviors and to learn how to
how to attract abundance into your life, then try the
Manifesting Abundance Series! The series was created for students
who wanted to experience more abundance in their lives, and
they are! The Manifesting Abundance Series includes two CD processes
to help you bring the energy of abundance in, and an Abundance
Workbook, an 8 week workbook with daily exercises and behaviors
to help you know what abundance really is.
You won't know
abundance until you breath it, feel it and think it-
and the quickest way to learn these is through the Abundance
Series!

while the Abundance Series is
still being offered at an introductory rate!

Abundance In All Things!
Abundance is an essence that exists in infinite supply
in the universe. Abundance can take on various forms
such as an abundance of love, money, happiness, joy,
success, and so on. Generally, we know what abundance
is, but bringing abundance into our daily life alludes
many of us.
|
|
|
Manifesting Abundance uses the two spiritual
laws, "as above so below," and "as within so without."
Many have heard of these laws but are not certain how
to put these laws into effect. To put the law into motion
you must first be able to access spiritual essences
that exist in unlimited supply on the levels beyond
physicality. Then you must align the structured self
to this essence, bringing the essence fully into your
inner world. When your inner world is completely aligned
to the essence, in this case abundance, it must manifest
in your outer world. It is the law..

life, please go to:

Testimonial: "I really enjoyed it.
What I noticed about myself is that I would grasp at
making an altar for my bills, and come to appreciate
them and look at them as symbolic, but also I
repel actually taking the time to work with self and
energy first. " -T.B.
