FAITH
“Dear Lord,
So far today, am I doing alright. I have not gossiped, lost my temper, been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or self-indulgent. I have not whined, complained, cursed, or eaten any chocolate. I have charged nothing on my credit card. But I will be getting out of bed in a minute, and I think that I will really need your help then.” ANON
AFFIRMATION: Faith is my invisible power supply. My trust in the perfection of the universe and my higher self, help me move confidently in the direction of my dreams.
Faith is like a balloon: When you are filled with it you soar and when you are empty of it, you are flat.
Another word for faith is TRUST.
When you practice yoga it is about courage and it is about faith. It is about supporting, strengthening the light that is inside of you
Faith helps us move forward in life and confidently in the direction of our dreams, goals and hearts desires.
“Faith is not, contrary to the usual ideas, something that turns out to be right or wrong, like a gambler’s bet; its and act, an intention, a project, something that makes you, in leaping into the future, go so far, far, far ahead that you shoot clean out of time and right into Eternity, which is not the end of time or a whole lot of time or unending time, but timelessness, that old Eternal Now.” Joanna Russ
We spend so much time stepping out of our lives. Keep trusting in the perfection of the wisdom that resides inside of your body. Many times we want to push past that wisdom and do something to try and quicken the pace. Keep coming back to your center. Keep coming back to what you are feeling and you will be able to remain calmer and have more patience.
Everything in life is a form of energy and so is faith. Faith and gratitude go hand in hand. When you have faith, you are grateful for your life and the way things are in the moment, as you know that you will be guided and led in the right direction. Like other new energies or even health, Faith is something we also have to cultivate and maintain. It takes time to build trust and faith. Allow it to happen in increments. Faith starts with everyday simplicity. Stepping outside of your door each day requires faith, and yet we are very cavalier and flippant about it, as we go on with our busy day. If we were to really assess the risks of “just going to work”, there is no guarantee that we will return. You have the faith on small levels in your life so that when it comes to making big choices and big decisions in your life, you start off small and you build.
Fatih’s co-partner Trust, is allowing the perfection and the flow of who you are designed to contribute and what you’re destined to do here on this earth. We all have a particular things to bring to life. We all have a purpose and it is our job to go out and find it, to discover it and to live it each and every day.
Faith allows you to back down and relax. The more we relax and let go and let God, the easier life becomes. Find your place in YOUR real life today. Stand in your power, stand in your life. When you can take a strong stand in your body, it sets you up to be able to take a stand in your life in other areas.
“It seems, oddly enough, that it’s people with a faith who are best able to live in the present moment. Enjoyment of the present, care for the quality of life; these are a kind of reverence, a kind of faith in life itself. The present is valuable, this faith tells us: it is all we have.” Karen Casey
It is good to put our faith in others from time to time. The idea is to insure we balance this external faith, with the God divine inner body faith. When we put too much faith in others, this is a huge way that we lose power. Whenever we step outside of ourselves, we set ourselves up to deplete ourselves of precious energy. The most important type of faith you can have is the faith that you have within yourself.
The crown energy is the area of faith on the body.
The idea is focus on the breath, and step away from judgement and in these moments of receiving the breath, we are free, when we are fully in the breath and we’re feeling and connecting with our bodies. In this space that is sacred and holy, we can start to hear what it is that we want to do with ourselves our lives and in this space, we can create more health, more peace and more compassion. Faith is being compassionate with yourself and trusting in the divine flow of things.
“There are no accidents. If it’s appeared on your life radar, this is why: to teach you that dreams come true; to reveal that you have the power to fix what’s broken and heal what hurts; to catapult you beyond seeing with just your physical senses; and to lift the veils that kept you from seeing that you’re already the person you dreamed you’d become.” TUT The Universe
Monday is a day you can think about purification, you can think about healing yourself on all levels. Releasing some fear, some anxiety.
Its about the inner reflection, self reflection turning the microscope in, turning the flashlight back in, turning the camera back in, so that you can create more clarity and you can see where your difficulties lie.
The more we look in, the more we can get a clear picture of our habits and how either defeating ourselves before we even start to move forward, if we take time inward, the better you will feel, the more time you take connecting with the breath, connecting with your spirit, your heart, you get more clarity and then you have the faith to trust in things you cannot see, knowing that by setting the intention, you are already propelling your dream into motion. The boomerage has gone out into the distance and you don’t know when its going to turn back around your way cause you have this unyielding faith that in its own time it will arrive.
“God always gives his best to those who leave the choice up with him.” ANON
“Whatever the occurrences in our lives, the circumstances we’d rather shun as well as those that absorb us, we can relish the knowledge that they’ve sought us out to introduce us to new levels of truth. We can be secure that what we need to learn, we’ll be taught. The experiences promising the opportunities needed to fulfill our personal potential will be present today and the days ahead. I will trust today’s experiences, secure in the knowledge that they are meant for me at this time.” Karen Casey

DR. WAYNE DYER
It is simply in the way of things. I know that I am always making choices, and that each choice leads me to the next, and that as long as I am not interfering with the flow of the energy that is the universe, I am going in the appropriate direction. I know that when I say yes to life, trust my intuition (which I cannot define), and keep moving in a direction of harmony and love for myself and others, everything is balanced and perfect. I also know that I have the power to interfere with the harmony by acting in discordant and aggressive ways. My ability to think aligns me in the universe much as the subatomic particles are aligned, even though everything that we observe with our senses tells us that it is all random. I know that a closer, more thoughtful view reveals that nothing is random, including myself and all of my choices.

ASSORTED WISDOM
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PISCES!
Wishing you a wonderful, magical and prosperous new year! Special Birthday wishes to my friends Betty Mehling, Barbara Buddin, Arlen Brumlik and Debbie Lomheim and all the students around the globe, who have practiced with me and follow Practice With A Message.
We all benefit from the shifting of the signs each month. Although we might not have this as our Sun sign, many people have other houses and energies in the house of Pisces. Pisces is a water sign ruled by Neptune, planet of healing the heart and emotions. According to Angel zodiac, this is a time we can utilize to review all that we are doing, identifying the people and causes genuinely worthy of our commitments, particularly if we have made mistakes in the past. This is a time for everyone to be more perceptive when faced with certain choices. We want to be calm, balanced and discerning with our decisions.
Barakiel is the Angel that governs Pisces. You don’t have be a Pisces to call on the aid and support of Barkiel. Call in the Angels for support and guidance and your life will open wide.
EXCERPT: Angel Zodiac by Angela Mc Gerr
Try one of these positive affirmations with Barakiel
For showing greater discernment: “Barakiel, thank you for my sensitivity, which gives me great understanding an sympathy for others. With your support and protection I build emotional strength and ask you to help me to show greater discernment and intuition over people and causes.”
If you need more grounding: “Barakiel, with your loving support and strength I bring myself back down to earth for grounding and manifesting my next steps. Let my strong intuitive skills be balance by powers of decisions and action, for my highest good.”
For Latent artistic skills: “Barakiel, I deserve a chance to allow the artistic imagination that I know I have within me to be expressed. I will bring forth this talent, for now is the time for me to create something beautiful that will bring joy to myself as well as others.”
The Pisces colors of indigo blue, blue-green, mauve-violet and purple help in a variety of ways. Wearing these colors can help you to focus on Pisces issues. Pisces is ruled by Neptune, whose ruler is Phuel, lord of all the waters. This includes tides of earth and powers of moon-remember these affect your mood.
Restful blue aid calmness of thought. If you have trouble resting or finding calmness for thinking, indigo blue will help you. Medium blue aids with saying the right thing at the right time, especially if a commitment is involved. Blue-green soothes and heals sensitive or emotional situations.
Spiritual violet for imagination and psychic development. Mauve-violet is a color for you to wear for spirituality and , when it deepens to purple, for magic and psychic skills/development. But remember not all psychic skills are spiritually linked, so make sure you ask the angels to guide you here.
“Do not judge the journey, by the path you’re now on. Like driving cross country, you can’t possibly know in advance if or where you may encounter detours, hairpin turns, or passing cars with noses and what not pressed to the window. Moreover, little, if any, of the scenery you travel through will remotely resemble the destination you have in mind. Yet neither the “constellations” you see nor the unexpected maneuvers you take will ever mean you aren’t headed exactly where you want to go, moving as swiftly as possible, getting closer every flippin day.” The universe
The hands are powerful! The left hand is said to “Take In” universal energy and the right hand is said to “Give back” universal energy. As you sit in meditation or a quiet pose, maybe turn on palm up and the other down, to bring in balance, because as to give without receiving or to take without giving creates an imbalance.
Your brain is an amazing organ which has undreamed of powers to radically improve your life. It just requires the knowledge to know how to use it fully. A calm, clear, inward flowing mind is the key to mastery. Wisdom appears through many portals in our lives. Mantra is an important tool that supports the mind. A mantra can provide protection for the mind. Mantra protects the mind from negative thinking or destructive (destroying) thoughts.
“Life is reciprocal: The energy you extend always comes back.” Oprah
The Seven Habits of HAPPY PEOPLE
Essence magazine July 2008
1. Hang out with joyful people
Psychologist John Grottman says that we need five positive interactions for every negative interaction in order for us to consider a relationship a happy one.
2. Move Consistently Toward Your Goals
Make commitments and then practice keeping your word.
3. Meditate On Your Blessings
End each day by recalling three moments that made you feel grateful-anything from a gorgeous sunrise to a love one’s smile
4. Be Good To Yourself
Eat nourishing food and get six to eight hours of sleep per night. And exercise regularly-the endorphin boost add to your feeling of well-being.
5. Connect, Connect, Connect
Be intentional in building strong bonds with other people. Study showed that participants who reported the highest level of happiness, also reported the strongest ties to friends and family.
6. Go to Church
A 2006 pew research report revealed that those who attend weekly service of any faith indicate that they feel much happier than those who attend once a month or less.
7. Give and Forgive
Holding on to anger and resentment is an emotional weight that robs you of your joy. Let it go. “Happiness is spiritual peace-peace with God, with yourself and with others.
“Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.” John Wooden
The following are some life tips from a great Life Coach, Greg Mooers, www.lifecamp.com. Greag says we all have a calling, a core virtue.
1. Never share your dreams with people who do not have the desire and resources to make them come true.
2. Take a past fast: Most people speak about their past 3 times more often than their future. You cannot change your past. Trying to is a tremendous waste of energy. For one week speak only about the future and you will get 300% more results from everyday.
3. Switch form “seeking Fulfillment” in life to “making a major contribution” for which you will be highly rewarded. What contribution do most want to make?
4. Focus on experiences instead of results. Instead of doing what makes sense, do what gives you goose-bumps or creates the experience you want from the results.
5. Right now stop and consciously choose to replace one poor thought you frequently have with a new thought that is in alignment with your ambition.
6. Take one day a week and week week off every few months. Plan to be totally free from work, make it restful, rejuvenation period. Studies show that people who do this make money. They are more efficient and decisive.
