LOVE ♥


Love is the most powerful force I have; the more beautiful, the most good, and I want to share.
Love supports serve and become a worthy instrument of God.
Love heals everything.
We, are human beings are blessed and privileged because we have the capacity to love.
Love forgives and forgets, memory erase everything negative.
Love unites, not separate.
Love does not manipulate, only pleasure in giving.
Love has no restrictions, is not a business.
Love is not a victim, is powerful.
Love does not discusses, dialogue.
Love does not judge, observed and respected, and only give their opinion if they request it.
Love does not take anything personal, it is in the soul.
True love is not offended, but respect and does not accept lies, this based on truth.
Love does not manipulate anyone, has no hidden agendas.
Love is free, never can put in a cage.
Love is priceless; it is invaluable and can not be sold.
Love believes in the kindness and respect, it gives without condition.
Love does not want to own and demanded possession because that is selfishness.

EXERCISE TO PERFORM AT THE END OF THE YEAR DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON



This week, I read an awesome post from Ms. Cheryl Richardson.  Something that captivated my attention was an exercise that she routinely performs at the end of the year during the holiday season.  This weekend, I will follow her example.  I plan to go to the Hudson River and perform the same exercise, and I choose the Hudson River because it is a site conducive to relaxation that is geographically accessible to me.  I will bring a pen or marker to write on few pieces of driftwood; on the wood, make a list of all the things that I want to let go (I know there are at least three); throw them in the water; and then I will give gratitude for all of my blessings.  Also, I will meditate and visualize what I want in this present and for the New Year 2011.  I think that this is a great exercise “to let it go” and I wish to share it with you.  I recommend that you do try it on any day before the New Year. Thank you, Cheryl Richardson, for the catharsis!

EXERCISE
Go to the ocean, find 3 pieces of driftwood, write the things you would like to let go of (resentment, fear, depression, criticism, etc.) on the wood, thank them for having made you who you are, and toss them into the ocean to be carried far away and to never return.  Then spend some time on the beach/river imagining what you want for the coming year.

SEARCHING FOR THE UNKNOWN



During this week you should stop looking backward looking for the known. Consider to search for a new territory you haven’t gone before.

What is your power to be generous during this week?




During these holidays what are you willing to do for you and others? Had you make a decision yet?
A great gesture can be, to become more generous with yourself and others. You have a heart full of love that is waiting for your appreciation. Every morning look at the mirror and serve a smile with an expression of joy. Also, offer this emotion to anyone you see during the day, either on the street, work, stores, etc.  
Today explore your closets and donate that extra jacket, coat, and any clothes that you don’t use so often. Most of us have a least half a dozen of stuff that we don’t make use of. You can also do volunteer work in any soup kitchen for homeless. Offer any kind of charity to the less fortunate.
How do you describe a generous person?
MAKE A LIST OF 6 DEFINITIONS FOR GENEROSITY
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Be aware that what you give away comes back to you. This universe is full of abundance.
LET’S SHARE!

My Burning Heart, Poem of Rumy

My heart is burning with love
All can see this flame
My heart is pulsing with passion
like waves on an ocean

my friends have become strangers
and I’m surrounded by enemies
But I’m free as the wind
no longer hurt by those who reproach me

I’m at home wherever I am
And in the room of lovers
I can see with closed eyes
the beauty that dances

Behind the veils
intoxicated with love
I too dance the rhythm
of this moving world

I have lost my senses
in my world of lovers

CHANGING MY DNA


Do you know that you can change your DNA? Most of the people think that illnesses are passed down genetically. Others concentrate all their thoughts that they are not going to suffer from it and end up attracting those diseases because of their negative vibes.

Health is the most important component of our lives yet many of us take it for granted and focus our energy on the tiny percent of our life that is not going well.  Focus on the part of your health that is not well, bless it, treat it with love and declare it is well. Know that you have the power to make your health better by doing whatever it is that you think should be done but also know that positive thoughts will ease the process of getting you better in every imaginable way. Every day send this message to your brain “I AM HEALTHY”. Do you know that your brain doesn’t know the difference between reality and illusion? That’s right; it means you can create the health you want. Keep sending positives information to your mind by practicing positive affirmations “I AM HEALTHY AND ENERGETIC”.  

Be aware that you have the power to manifest the healing you want in your life. Have faith in the procedures and treatments you follow, use affirmations, maintain a healthy diet by learning about nutrition, meditate everyday and do exercises at least three times during the week.  Enjoy the health you have and be happy with the anticipation that the parts that need to heal will improve everyday!  Keep affirming “HEALTH IS PART OF MY NATURE”.

FEAR OF NOT HAVING ENOUGH


Are you a compulsive buyer? What makes you a compulsive buyer? You are a compulsive buyer because in your unconscious mind you think that in the future you would not have the money to get what you will need. You always think there is never enough and develop the habit of buying things that you don’t need, especially during the holidays. Because of your fear of no having enough you keep buying to feel secure.
This fear of “not enough” takes you out of your present and keeps you into the future, what don’t gives you time to enjoy the now. Today, start observing your actions. Are you conscious on what are you buying? Are you integrating your mind with your heart or are you only using your head? Both of them have to be combined to keep you in the present. You have to be congruent to develop shopping discipline. At the time you desire to buy something try to focus, unite your heart and your mind and become aware of your feelings at that moment. Your heart and mind has to be vibrating with the same passion.

COMPRADOR COMPULSIVO

¿Te consideras un comprador compulsivo? ¿Que te lleva a ser un consumidor compulsivo? Eres un comprador compulsivo porque en tu subconsciente optas por la idea de que tienes que comprar hoy porque quizás mañana no tendrás para conseguir lo que vas a necesitar.  Siempre crees que nunca es suficiente y por esta razón desarrollas el hábito de comprar cosas que no son necesarias, especialmente durante las fiestas navideñas. Te mantienes comprando para sentirte seguro porque llevas contigo el  miedo de que nunca sea suficiente.
Este  miedo de “nunca es suficiente” te lleva fuera del presente y te transporta al futuro, robándote la experiencia de disfrutar el momento presente. Hoy intenta observar tus acciones. ¿Estas consciente de lo que estas comprando? ¿Estas integrando tu mente y tu corazón, o solo estas usando la cabeza? Los dos tienen que estar combinados para mantenerte en el presente. Para desarrollar disciplina de compra tienes que ser congruente. Cuando decidas comprar algo trata de enfocarte, une tu mente y tu corazón, y toma conciencia de tus sentimientos. Tu mente y tu corazón deben vibrar con la misma intensidad.

Mother Teresa

"Do IAnyway"

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.
FORGIVE THEM ANYWAY
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
BE KIND ANYWAY
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.
SUCCEED ANYWAY
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. 
 BE HONEST AND SINCERE ANYWAY
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. 
CREATE ANYWAY
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. 
 BE HAPPY ANYWAY
The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
 DO GOOD ANYWAY
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. 
 GIVE YOUR BEST ANYWAY
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. 
IT WAS NEVER BETWEEN YOU AND THEM ANYWAY
-this version is credited to Mother Teresa

MADRE TERESA DE CALCUTA

Las personas son irrazonables, ilógicas y centradas en si mismas,
AMALAS DE TODAS MANERAS
Si haces el bien, te acusarán de tener motivos egoístas,
HAZ EL BIEN DE TODAS MANERAS
Si tienes éxito ganarás falsos y verdaderos enemigos,
TEN EXITO DE TODAS MANERAS
El bien que hagas se olvidará mañana,
HAZ EL BIEN DE TODAS MANERAS
La honestidad y la franqueza te hacen vulnerable,
SE HONESTO Y FRANCO DE TODAS MANERAS
Lo que te tomó años en construir puede ser destruido en una noche,
CONSTRUYE DE TODAS MANERAS
La gente de verdad necesita ayuda pero te podrían atacar si lo haces,
AYUDALES DE TODAS MANERAS
Dale al mundo lo mejor que tienes y te patearán en los dientes,
DALE AL MUNDO LO MEJOR QUE TIENES DE TODAS MANERAS
-De un letrero en la pared de Shishu Bhavan. La casa para niños en Calcutta.

A message for this week ♥


This week prevent arguing and been worried for all your limitations. You just need to focus on your abundance; even thought you think they are limited. Stop trying to have control over the things you can’t manage. Don’t let this economic reception weaken your worth, because it is something you cannot be in command of. Focus on your state of being; you are the only one in control of it. It is a learning skill that every one can developed through the art of allowance by letting your life be in motion with the stream.

Think about all the things you take for granted. You have a roof that save you from harm weather conditions, food on a plate, a coat that protect your body from the cold weather, good health, friends and family who cares about you. Now take a moment, close your eyes and think about something you feel graceful. Then, take two pieces of paper and write down why you feel graceful. Post one piece of paper on a place you can see during the week and take the other any where you go (inside your pocket, wallet, bag, car, etc).  Even if you don’t celebrate the Holidays, celebrate happiness inside you. Give yourself a gift by been graceful not matter what are your circumstances. Starting today, apply self-effort to effect the changes you want in your life. Everything around you is sparkling; you have the creative power to shift sadness to happiness

UN MENSAJE PARA ESTA SEMANA ♥


Esta semana trata de prevenir discusiones y sentirte tenso por tus limitaciones. Céntrate en tu abundancia; incluso si crees que estas son limitadas. Deja de intervenir en las cosas que no puedes controlar. No dejes que la situación económica debilite tu valor, porque no está a tu mando. Enfócate en ti; tú eres el único en control de tu estado de ánimo (mediante el control de tus pensamientos). Todo esto se trata de un aprendizaje que cada uno puede desarrollar mediante el arte de ceder y dejar llevarse por la corriente.

 Piensa en todas las cosas que posees. Tienes un techo que te cubre de las condiciones climáticas, alimentos, un abrigo que te protege del frío, salud, amigos y familiares que se preocupan por ti. Ahora tomar un momento, cierra tus ojos y piensas en algo que debieras dar gracia. Luego, toma dos pedazos de papel y escribe porque te sientes agraciado. Pon un pedazo de papel en un lugar que puedas ver durante esta semana y el otro dondequiera que vayas (dentro de tu bolsillo, monedero, bolsa, coche, etc.) Incluso, si no celebras las fiestas de Acción de Gracia concéntrate en celebra la felicidad que existe dentro de ti. Un regalo que puedes darte a ti mismo es sintiéndote agraciado no concierne cuáles son sus circunstancias de tu vida. A partir de hoy, debe aplicar auto-esfuerzo para efectuar los cambios que quieres lograr. Todo nuestro universo es hermoso; tú tienes el poder creativo para desplazar la tristeza y convertirla en felicidad

EMOTIONS ARE THE KEY


Everything is a reflection of your expectations. Sometimes we don’t get what we want is because we are not focusing the right way. There has to be a correlation between the mind and the heart. They have to be blend and vibrate at the same time, longing for the same purpose of attraction. It is the most difficult technique to learn, but when you get focus on the present and begin to combine your mind and your heart together you will see the difference. There will be a connection and the outcome will be the result you are looking for. Your emotions are the key.

LAS EMOCIONES SON LAS HERRAMIENTAS


Todo es un reflejo de nuestras expectativas. A veces no conseguimos lo que queremos es porque no estamos enfocados en la vía correcta. Tiene que haber una combinación entre la mente y el corazón. Estos tienen que estar conectados y vibrar al mismo tiempo para obtener los resultados deseados. Esta es la destreza más difícil de aprender, pero cuando te centras en el presente y comienzas a mezclar tu mente y tu corazón habrá una conexión y el efecto será el resultado que estás buscando. Tus emociones son las herramientas.

The Peace Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi


Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Oración de Paz, de San Francisco De Asís


Señor:
Hazme un instrumento de tu paz
Que donde quiera que haya odio, siembre yo amor
Donde haya injuria, perdón
Donde haya duda, fe
Donde haya desesperación, esperanza
Donde haya oscuridad, luz
Donde haya tristeza, alegría.
Oh Divino Maestro,
Concédeme que no busque ser consolado, sino consolar
Que no busque ser comprendido, sino comprender
Que no busque ser amado, sino amar.
Porque dando recibo,
Perdonando es como tu me perdonas y
Muriendo en ti, nazco a la vida eterna.
Amén.

RESENTMENT


Today is the day to face reality and stop judging our parents. A lot of people spend their life blaming their parents for their misfortunes. Our parents did the best they could, they didn’t took any courses, seminars or read any books about how to raise a child. If you have children think about it. Had you feel afraid any moment while raising your child? Our parents experienced the same feelings of fear, maybe because their ages, emotional state, economy, etc. Lest stop blaming them for the choices we had taken in life. Today is the day to think about all the sacrifices they had done to raise us. Thinking negative about them don’t help you or them, it only creates resentment, depression, illness, more emotional scars and limitations. Few people grow up without emotional scars; some parents had made bigger mistakes than others. We have to recognized that we are adults and need to stop been obsess with that idea of resentment and let it go. Stop been the victim and feeling sorry for yourself. Who you became was your decide, not your parents. It is time to focus in the present and let go the past. Leave behind all your emotional luggage, this universe is the place to be happy and start to look for solutions.
Today you are in charge of your present and your future
1.       Make a list of all your negative emotions about your parents.

2.       Make a list of all the sacrifices your parents made for you.


This exercise will help you to be in control of your happiness and let go the negative emotions.  It is the time to transform all your negative emotions about your parents for positive emotions. Embrace your life and keep optimistic. You have to make peace wherever you are and let it go is the solution.
Repeat this prayer:
Divine make me an instrument of you love. Give me the grace to let go and radiate who I am. I am love and this is what I feel inside me
Song: Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
