				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Can we accept that the long-term effects of our habitual thinking just might be the cause of how our body moves to a state of imbalance, or what we call disease?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Einstein said that no problem can be solved with the same level of consciousness that created it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;during mental rehearsal, the brain does not know the difference between what it is thinking (internal) and what it experiences (external).  Applying these principles will cause the brain to be ahead of the environment.  In other words, through mental rehearsal, we change our brain before the external experience happens, and the brain is no longer a record of the past, but of the future.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;To pray is to hold a single thought or idea of an outcome in the mind, and make it more real than our present circumstances.  It is intentional thought, which affords us the opportunity to make contact with a greater mind.  When we call upon that innate intelligence living inside of us by making our desire the only real intention, it will answer the call.  When our will matches the will of this mind, when our mind matches the consciousness of this mind, and when our love for an ideal matches its love for us, it invariably steps in.  It is a willful and uncompromising mind that initiates an idea bigger than what we intellectually know.  When we can make our thoughts more real to us than the external environment, and when we lose track of the sensory perception of our body, the environment, and time, we literally enter into this unlimited field of possibilities.  Our brain is already wired to be this way, through the enlarged frontal lobe.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow.  Almost two years later!</p>
<p>I took a breather from the website.  I still had fear and doubt in my heart about me as a channeler despite all the testimonials.  This process is not widely accepted as valid, so I feared the reaction of some family members, co-workers, etc&#8230;if I were to really own this and go public.</p>
<p>That fear is gone now along with the doubt.  I have proven to myself over and over that if I just get out of the way and let the process happen, I can profoundly help people.  And <em>that</em>, the ability to help people in this deep and spiritual way, is infinitely more important than my fear, than any skeptics, than any reaction of family members.</p>
<p>I had to reach that place in myself before I could continue posting to this website.  Now, I embrace it.  My gate is wide open, ready to receive whoever is drawn to my work.</p>
<p>Thanks for listening.<br />
Love always,<br />
Jan</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To follow one&#8217;s heart in the minutest of ways will provide much happiness.  This sounds like stating the obvious and yet how many of you truly abide by this concept?  You wish to do that which makes you happy and indeed there are human responsibilities on this Earth Life but the taking of vacations and tickets to ball games are the macro of following your heart into happiness.</p>
<p>Can you, as well, recognize times when you would rather not, but you say &#8220;yes&#8221; to please a loved one &#8211; when in the scheme of things a &#8220;no&#8221; would not be very significant in that person&#8217;s life.  This is the minuteness of which we speak.  Are you following your heart into happiness in the smallest of ways or are you sacrificing your happiness for that of another?  When you deny your own calling, you are saying to the Universe, my wishes are not as important as those of my brother.  Surely, if they lie sickly in  a hospital bed, then you will weigh the importance of setting aside your needs for those of another.  But if you are asked to go out for a beer after work but your true wishes lie in heading for home to do other things that you enjoy and perhaps feel you have little time for, then by agreeing to go out, you are crossing your own wishes when they should indeed be honored.  There is nothing selfish in following one&#8217;s wishes and forsaking those of another &#8211; for in the giving to yourself, you are later more able to give to others.  Let this idea of self-ness not be of confusion for you.  It is merely survival of the heart by feeding it when it is in need.</p>
<p>You need not continue what may have started in childhood where the needs of others were shown to be of much greater importance.  This is your time now.  Your childhood has ended.  There are things from childhood that need to be let go of &#8211; not necessarily forgotten, as they make up who you are &#8211; but, rather forgiven and let go of &#8211; as they no longer serve you.  You are wise enough now that you understand the difference between when your needs should come first and when they shouldln&#8217;t.  You have been well-taught to think of others first.  It was ingrained in you since a vulnerably young age.  Now, you can say &#8220;No, this time is for me.  I no longer need to serve you or others like you.  It is now time to fill myself up and do as I wish for I have given of myself and sacrificed in many an instance.  The time is mine now and I will take it at your expense.&#8221;</p>
<p>Be good to yourself and happiness will not only lead you, but follow you as well.  Cloak yourself in your wishes and desires and feel good about it.  No guilt.  Treat yourself to a deep purple skirt that smells like fresh cloth, if that is your wish.</p>
<p>Be kind and decorate your life with love of self, patience, and understanding of self.  Allow yourself to be &#8220;self-ish.&#8221;  You will feel the benefits of more vitality, more love to be given, and more peace of mind.  It is simply that way.</p>
<p>Pay attention to the minutest of whispers in your heart&#8217;s desires.  Honor them.  Your time is now.  It has been a long time in coming.</p>
<p>Be well this day and call upon us as often as you wish.  We surround you always.  We bid you well this day of days.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone has their own truth, their own reality, just as every observer of a scene has their own interpretation.  One may see beauty first and later find imperfection just as one may find fault first until innocence is revealed in the quest for truth.  According to Einstein, the object is changed simply by the act of observing.  Is it also true that a situation is effected by the beliefs of the Truth seeker &#8211; as well as &#8211; the beliefs of the Truth seeker being effected by the situation?</p>
<p>If I start out mistrusting someone as I seek the truth, will <span style="text-decoration: underline;">more</span> red flags appear thereby confirming my mistrust than if I began by believing innocent mistakes were made?  Do I create more layers of obstacles to the truth when I begin by assuming the worst of the individual?  Why do I <span style="text-decoration: underline;">want</span> to prove malicious behavior when it would only increase the intensity of the situation?  Is it because I wouldn&#8217;t have to work at trusting them since my fears would be well-founded?  Am I looking for the easier way out?</p>
<p>I certainly don&#8217;t have the patience to reproduce a nature scene on a blank canvas.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please bear with me as I walk the thin ice of life while juggling a triple play of stressors.  I am gathering knowledge to eventually share with you here.  And I am heeding my own words on these pages to help me through this difficult time.  I am needing to be a student in these few months, rather than teacher, but I will return from &#8220;sabbatical&#8221; with new found wisdom and growth to blog.</p>
<p>May your path be easy and marked with Joy as life was meant to be.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You create your reality through thought, which is consciousness.  That which you focus on manifests, however, belief is a strong component.  If you focus every day on winning a million dollars, it may not manifest if there is any doubt.  You may have other chronic thoughts of unworthiness or disbelief that it could happen&#8230;or fear that it will.</p>
<p>Thoughts and emotions are closely linked.  Negative thoughts will stir up and release negative emotion which will, in turn, begin the cycle of negative thoughts.</p>
<p>One must begin to become conscientious of random thoughts and rein them in, harness them, and regain control &#8211; like handling a wild horse.  You cannot get a wild horse to work for you unless you calm it down and learn to control it.  We use the analogy not to advocate domesticating wild horses, but only to demonstrate the process of handling and directing one&#8217;s thoughts to create a better reality and flow in which to live.</p>
<p>This concept is not new, but it is new to the human experience.  Presently, you are all so busy becoming physically fit and filling your brains with knowledge.  This is good for this is where you are as a collective.  But the next wave of evolution will surely be the controlling of the mind and deliberate intention as a means to manifest a better life.  Indeed, there will always be trouble and problems to work out, as this is the way of expansion which is why we are all here.  But, as you navigate the obstacles and thereby stretch and grow, you can learn to do so without much pain and turmoil, but rather move and maneuver expertly like an experienced kayaker, staying in the present while aware of one&#8217;s destination.  The oars are your thoughts, which can guide your vehicle around all the bumps, avoiding collisions.</p>
<p>You can start today, this moment.  Observe your thoughts throughout the day and ask: Is this born of Love or Fear?  For those are the only core emotions we are working with.  Choose Love every time and you will discover the magic of thought creating life &#8211; a good life that flows evenly and expertly, effortlessly.</p>
<p>Go with the flow, glide down the river and use your thoughts as oars to guide you.  You will find&#8230;Happy Trails.</p>
<p>We bid you Love and fare well this day.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this short life of gravitational pull, there are moments of magic.  The snapshots of our memory, the stories we tell and pass on.  Notice those precious few moments that stand out, subtle and sweet, like aged wine.  These are the nuggets of our existence, the egg in our batter that congeals all the mundane and everyday moments as one.  Sometimes Divine Intervention is at work in those memorable moments.  Listen, be open for the gifts that do come to us from Loved Ones on the other side.  As important as they are to us, it is just as important to them that we notice their presence, that we not ignore their efforts to get our attention.  They call to us &#8220;I love you&#8221;&#8230;&#8221;I am here still at your side watching your life develop.&#8221;  &#8220;I am not gone, I am just invisible, living my afterlife and occasionally calling on you as I did in life.  Know that I am here, believe in my continued existence for in that faith, in that belief lies the Love that forever bonds our souls to one another whether in the physical or in the mind.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are only 2 emotions from which all others stem:  Love and Fear.  In this moment, am I leaning towards, am I focusing on Love?  or Fear?  All emotions play out throughout the day and their core is easy to recognize.  Fear, like worry, is lack of Trust, lack of Faith in the natural flow of All That Is.  Love is recognizing that all is in order and flowing in its natural course.  It is trusting that we each are where we are meant to be in this moment in time.  If someone cuts you off in traffic, was your subconscious attracting anxiousness?  Are you &#8220;pushing the river&#8221; and not easily going with the flow?  Were you in a &#8220;not enough time&#8221; state of being?</p>
<p>We can go easily or we can go struggling.  I choose easily &#8211; in this moment&#8230;and in <em>this </em>moment, ever more.  I may need reminders, but I can always adjust my choosing.  I choose Love.  I choose Ease.  I choose releasing resistance and following the Flow.  And when I get off track, I can stop and just breathe, and feel once again the natural current of the River of Life &#8211; as I lay back on my raft, eyes to the Heavens.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Worry is about control.  Letting go is faith in the Flow.  Knowing that all is well and will be well in that future moment.  If you must visualize anything, visualize an easy outcome, unexpected help, an unpredicted turn of events.  Replace worry with the knowing that somehow &#8211; and we can&#8217;t see around the corner &#8211; it will all work out, more easily than you envision.</p>
<p>Our lesson here is faith, letting go, letting be, allowing and going easily &#8211; not kicking and screaming &#8211; with the Flow, the River, the Becoming.  We are uneasy with total trust, total abandon.  We want to do things our way, we want to know &#8211; by controlling or forcing &#8211; the outcome.  And yet, each moment before us is a mystery yet to be realized.  It is our moment to moment task &#8211; though that feels like too strong of a word &#8211; to let that mystery unfold.  Our response to that future moment is the larger challenge.</p>
<p>Worry causes chemical changes in your body that can lead to illness, unbalance, physical pain and stiffness.  Is worry worth it?  Or can we just sit with the unknowing?  And return to the present, distracted by all the blessings that surround us.  There are many, no matter your circumstance.</p>
<p>When you find yourself in worry mode, go back to your breathing &#8211; unless you&#8217;re worried about your breathing!  Return to the present and replace worry with the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">knowing</span>, go with what you <span style="text-decoration: underline;">do</span> know.  And trust that all will be well.  And it is.</p>
