The Art of Allowing is not easy to practice. The following Abraham quote sounds so straight forward and easy, but really following it is a totally different story. "We practice the Art of Allowing. Which means reaching for the thought that feels best, not the thought that is the real thought, not the thought that is telling it like it is. Telling it like it is only holds you where it is: "Damn it, I'm going to tell it like it is. I'm going to tell it like it is, because everybody wants me to tell it like it is." Tell it like it is if you like it like it is. But if you don't like it like it is, then don't tell it like it is—tell it like you want it to be. If you tell it like you want it to be long enough, you will begin to feel it like you want it to be. And when you feel it like you want it to be, it be's like you want it to be." ~Abraham From the youngest age we are taught that we have to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. Then one d...

Late last month I had cold and didn't feel so well. One night around 3 or 4 in the morning I woke up with the song "Always look at the bright side of life" going through my mind. I view it as a strong reminder to pay attention to where my focus goes. The Law of Attraction says that what you focus upon you draw to yourself. From my experience with Reboot Tapping (emotional acupressure) I have discovered that more than our thoughts it is our feelings that are the magnets that attract things into our lives. Change the way you feel and you will change your life. It does not mean that you are happy all the time, but that when something unpleasant happens, you just acknowledge it and let it go and move and find the good in things, like the song says: "always look on the light side of life". Can we change our feelings? Yes, we can quite easily. I use a simple technique that taps on the Chinese acupuncture points and so creates a disruption in the body's ener...

Today is Valentine's Day and I wish everybody a wonderful day. What does this day mean? According to Wikipedia it is the annual day celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. The day is named after the early Christian martyr Saint Valentine. When I grew up in Switzerland in the 60s and 70s, we did not have Valentine's Day. But I was aware of it because they had it in England. In today's world the Swiss have it now also. This got me thinking. Wikipedia explains this day as the day celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. We naturally think of our loved ones, but what about our love to ourselves? How can we love somebody else, if you don't already love and cherish ourselves? You can only give to another what you already have in yourself to give. Then there is this one special day thing. Why can't we do this everyday? Why does it have to be limited to just one day? As I see days meld into each other, I just don't see the diff...

I just watched this video from Ted Talks . In the past I have watched  a number of videos on the site. The site is full of ideas worth spreading. In today's world where many of us are looking for ways to learn how to sell our products, this talk explains it in a very simple way that is easy to understand. Now it is up to us to apply it.

It is the end of November and a glorious morning. At 9 am the temperature is around 0°C, no wind and sunny. I just had to go for a walk around Oat Hill Lake. As usual, I took my camera with me in case there was something that would grab my attention. And something did grab my attention. On the western side of the lake there was a small area where dead reeds were sticking out of the water where the water was frozen. I bent down low and tried to capture the ice with the open water. Oat Hill Lake - November 2010 As I continued walking on the grass, I realized that the ground was frozen and it felt different walking on it than earlier in the year. Once I made it home, I shrank the photo for the web and then tried my newly discovered Pixel Bender Oil Paint filter in Photoshop. Oat Hill Lake photo as an oil painting I feel so blessed to live in such a beautiful area.
