The Power Of The Mind

Mind power is one of the strongest and most useful powers you possess.

This power consists of your thoughts. When you add focus and feelings, thoughts become powerful.

The thoughts that pass through your mind are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Your predominant thoughts influence your behaviour and attitude and control your actions and reactions. As your thoughts are, so is your life.

Be Careful What You Think

Thoughts are like a video that plays on the screen of your mind. What you play there, determines the kind of life you live and the experiences you meet. To make changes in your life, you have to play a different video, one that you like more.

Thought Is A Creative Power

You can train and strengthen this power. You can use it to make changes in your life, and to influence other people's minds.

If you plant seeds, water them, and give them fertiliser, they will grow into healthy and strong plants.

Thoughts, like seeds, have a natural tendency to grow, get powerful, and manifest in your life. This happens when you feed them with attention, interest and enthusiasm.

Your thoughts pass from your conscious mind to your subconscious mind, which in turn, influences your actions in accordance with these thoughts. Your thoughts also pass to other minds, and consequently, people who are in a position to help you, might offer you their help, sometimes, without even knowing why.

This might seem strange and unbelievable. You do not have to accept these words, but if you analyse the kind of thoughts you think, and the kind of life you live, you will discover interesting things about the mind.

The power of your mind is part of the creative power of the Universe, which means that your thoughts work together with it. You are a manifestation of the Universal mind.

When you repeat the same thought over and over, in one way or another, this mighty power helps you make your thoughts come true.

Using the power of thoughts effectively, is an act of "practical daydreaming".

Ways to Use the Power of your Thoughts 

Visualise a perfect scene of whatever you want to accomplish.

Put a lot of detail, colour, sound, scent and life into these mental scenes.

Repeat your visualisation often, with faith and attention, and your subconscious will accept these mental scenes as real experiences. The subconscious mind does not distinguish between real and imaginary experiences, and accepts both as real. It will start making changes and attracting opportunities, to make your reality match the images in your subconscious mind.

Actions, situations, and objects that you visualise frequently, eventually, manifest on the material plane in a natural way. This manifestation does not happen overnight. It needs time, and depends on how ambitious and sincere you are, and how much time and attention you put into this action.

You can use this process to change negative habits and build new, positive habits or skills. You can also use it for attracting money and possessions, for promotion at work, for building  a business, improving health and relationships, changing circumstances, and for practically almost everything.

Pay attention to the thoughts you think. Do your best to reject negative thoughts, and allow into your mind only thoughts that bring good, happy, and positive results.

A Time for Renewal

Easter is usually thought of as the time for a break from work, Easter eggs, hot cross buns and DIY. But it is so much more, it is one of the most special holidays of the year. Of course there is a special significance for Christians celebrating Easter and Jewish people celebrating Passover. But, there is also something in the air for everyone.

As the mornings and evenings grow lighter and as the last of the winter frosts disappear, there is a great feeling of new beginnings. The first trees are in blossom and the others have green buds. The grass is starting to grow faster than even the most avid gardener can mow it.

This is a great time of the year to look back at those New Year resolutions, to review progress and to take any corrective action needed.

The seasons can affect our feelings and attitudes. The chances are that you made those January resolutions in the midst of a cold, grey and wet winter, that probably made your emotions and optimism pretty cold, grey and wet too.

But, when the natural world is bursting with the promise of a glorious spring and the warmth of summer, this is an ideal time to decide that you too will start over and put right anything that you feel needs correction in your own life.

Unless humans interfere with nature, it has its own graceful balance. The old and used makes way for the new and the vibrant. Anyone can do the same with their own thoughts and attitudes. Perhaps those fondly held beliefs that served you well in the past are due for an overhaul. Perhaps it is time to restore your own natural balance.

Balance means harmony rather than discord. This should include a brief but thorough examination of all the areas of your life, relationships, career, health, finances, leisure and talents.

This is an example of how easy it is to get out of balance. A businessman was successful by most material measures. Despite his large house, ample income and luxury car, he was an unhappy person. He had spent so much time and energy building his business that he had no time left for all of the other aspects of his life that were also important . He decided it was time for change and began working on restoring balance into his life. Within weeks he had found happiness too and without putting any of his material gains at risk either.

You would have to be a very cold person indeed, to totally ignore the promise of Easter. So take some of that promise for yourself and then make sure it is a promise that is delivered. You deserve nothing less.

Happy Easter - Happy Pesach

Maintaining Resilience In Adversity

Every person faces difficult, sometimes life altering, events at various points in their life.  These events might include the loss of a job, a serious illness, the death of a loved one, a natural disaster or other situations that bring unwanted changes. Some can even be traumatic. We can all relate to this now more than ever, with the coronavirus pandemic  engulfing the entire world. However, your ability to cope with these stressful life events has much to do with how resilient you are.

What is Resilience?

Resilience is your ability to adapt to adversity or unexpected changes that occur in your life. Contrary to what many believe, resilience is not an inborn personality trait that some people naturally have and others lack. It is a learned skill. That is good news, because being resilient is one of the best ways to protect against the effects of stress. Since we cannot completely avoid stress the goal of effective stress management is two fold, exercise good decision making over the things you can control in order to minimise self imposed stress, while being resilient toward the stressors you cannott control, such as sickness, accidents and losses.

But, if like a tree in the wind, you learn to bend, become flexible and adapt to the new challenges that emerge, you can find ways to not only survive but thrive.

Here are ways you can build resilience to stressful life events:

Seek out Supportive Relationships 

One of best ways to adapt to life’s challenges is to build and maintain positive and loving relationships. It is hard to overstate the importance of this type of support. When you are feeling stressed, discouraged or overwhelmed, turning to trusted people in your life can give you a renewed sense of strength and cut through any distorted thoughts you might have about your situation. Thankfully with the help of social media, this is still possible even in the current lockdown.

Practice good Self Care 

Your ability to be resilient under stress requires you to have emotional and physical reserves to draw upon. One of the most important ways to build these reserves is by practicing good self care. Deliberate, conscious choices to care for your body, mind and relationships can help you manage even the big stressors in your life. Even if the stress temporarily knocks you down, you are more able to get up and keep going. So how do you build up these reserves as a protective means against stress? Start with getting an adequate amount of sleep, eating nutritious food, making time for exercise, investing energy in maintaining contact with friends and family and taking time to meditate. The better you care for yourself, the more equipped you are to manage stress.

Be proactive against Adversity

When you are proactive you create or cause something to happen rather than responding to it after it has happened. You strengthen your resiliency when you are proactive but you weaken it when you become passive and reactionary. Just like resiliency, being passive and reactionary is a learned response and one that you can change with practice. When you encounter adversity, figure out what needs to be done to move through it, make a concrete and realistic plan and take action. Continually set goals for the future to help propel you toward more action.

Build on your Experience

Most people know when they feel stress, but, most do not learn from their experiences with stress management. How have you coped with hardship in the past? What skills and strategies have helped you through tough times? What approaches have not worked well? Write these down and make a conscious effort to apply what you know about yourself as you navigate future life challenges.

View Adversity as Normal

No one likes the fact that hardship, trauma, sorrow and pain are part of our lives. The question is not whether we will experience adversity but how we will manage it. When you brace yourself against the winds of adversity in an effort to fight it, you can end up broken. The gale force winds are simply too strong at times. But, if like a tree in the wind, you learn to bend, become flexible and adapt to the new challenges that emerge, you can find ways to not only survive but thrive. And when you can learn to do that, you know that you have learned resilience.

Stay Safe

A Message Of Hope

With permission from Sage Taylor Kingsley, I am sharing this chanelling with you from Archangel Michael on Coronavirus:

Dear Ones! Archangel Michael "Mike at the mic" here!

Allow me to embrace you and grace you all...

This may surprise you but I want to speak with you about the coronaviruses. And yes, there is more than one. BUT - here is the good news. It is very, VERY, VERY unlikely any of you will contract it, and even if you did, it will likely feel just like the 'common cold' virus.

So take a deep breath and stand down from Red Alert!

It is ok to take some precautions though - It is always good to maintain your health and have EXCELLENT hygiene and self-care, and also to put extra shielding around yourself physically and energetically if you are in a public place.

Many in your media are generating too much fear and panic so I want you to stand down from Red Alert—a bit of yellow but mostly green. So here is what you need to know:

1) Yes, it was man-made. Literally.

2) Remember the words: 'The only thing we have to fear is fear itself...' ?

There is a lot of fear-mongering going on, and various governments and health agencies are handling this to various degrees of efficiency and care, so you do need to take some steps, but then LET IT GO, dears, let it go.

3) Steps to take:
[Physically] Wear a good mask if you are in a hospital, medical office, airport or airplane, child care center, elderly center. [And wash your hands often and thoroughly! Sage adds]

I want to talk to you about the metaphysical (energy, thought, emotion, belief).

[Metaphysically]

Imagine a Golden Bubble of Protection around you. Right now.

Enveloping you in Divine Love and Light,

Supporting Your Body's Natural Health Systems.

KNOW that you are safe.

KNOW that you are healthy.

KNOW that you are loved.

That is about 90% of making it so = knowing it is so, and so it IS!

Pay attention to your intuition, and put your attention on your intention.

Read that 3 times, please.

Attention >> Intuition

Attention >> Intention

Intuition is the YIN

Intention is the YANG

Divine Female and Male flow together to create Cosmic God Consciousness within YOU.

See your double-spiral DNA helix and ribosomes dancing and ascending,
expanding and contracting, with God's Cosmic Breath within YOU.

(And do not worry if you do not remember what a ribosome is; it relates to RNA and protein, just trust the intention in these Words of Light and FEEL IT.)

4) The last reminder today is to EAT VERY CLEAN & HEALTHY. 

For many of you that means only plant-based foods, for some of you it can include some animal proteins.

But please be aware that MORE plants is always a good thing God thing.

And please remember to shop and cook and eat INTUITIVELY & GREAT-FULLY.

When you do so, you are putting Love into the food and into the beverage and into the water that is YOU.

You are realigning with your Natural Blueprint for Perfect Health and Vibrancy.

If you do these things, and above all, remember that LOVE IS WHO YOU ARE, AND LOVE IS ALL YOU ARE.... You will be and do just fine. (or with an occasional bump or "hiccup" because that is life, and you will even be ok with those little bumps because you learn from them!)

So, repeat after me:

MANTRA:

LOVE IS WHO I AM.

LOVE IS ALL I AM.

AND ALL IS WELL WITHIN ME AND AROUND ME.

AND SO IT IS!

This is your MANTRA. Sage, please make it pretty and share it widely and wisely. The world needs this now. Love, sweet Love. It is the antidote to everything, truly.

And one of the greatest blessings all of YOU have [here in Wisdom School of Light] is COMMUNITY.

There is a reason that so many studies show that people who feel connected to others, people who have purpose, people who feel cared for and loved live longer, live stronger, prosper and enJOY life much more!

So do be sure to connect with Sage more often, with your peers here more often, with anyone who gets you and sees you and celebrates you. You are MUCH stronger together!

I love you, and we love you, so very much. See you next time!

And remember to talk to God, talk to me and all your Angels.
We are always here with you. All Ways!

~ Archangel Michael via Sage (with smiles)
