THE INSPIRATION TIMES
April 2006 Issue

This month's topic:
“Twirling the Pieces”
.
********************************************

      I have been twirling the pieces for this newsletter. I have started it several times and then the pieces would twirl and change. I am sitting here today with three pieces and they make sense to me. Twirling pieces are equally frustrating and freeing. Truthfully, they are only frustrating when I try to force them into the form I think they are supposed to fit. It is when I exhale loudly and shake my head and say, “Okay, I give up,” that they land in a beautiful design. So, here we go!

      Piece number one: The Magic Key of Self-Appreciation is a class I teach. I pulled out a handout from the class, and feeling in need of a little self-appreciation, I decided to share it with you… my beautiful subscribers… who might also be in need of a little self-appreciation.

Here is the handout:

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”  -- Leo Buscaglia

      What if you take that touch, that smile, a kind word, a listening ear, or any small act of caring and apply it to yourself? What impact would it have on your life?

      If you give to yourself in equal measure what you give to others, what happens in your life?

      I encourage you to write the quote down in your own handwriting. What buzzes inside of you as you write? Do you treat yourself as kindly as you treat others in your life? Then, answer the questions. Once again, I encourage you to write down your answers. It gives physical form to your inner answers. No editing, just write from inside.

      Too easily, we can gloss over what we feel good about in our life and focus on what we think needs fixing or improving. For example, we may have 14 things on our to do list, complete 13 of them, and be mad at ourselves for the one we did not get done.

      If you are feeling unappreciated in your life, check in and see where you are not appreciating yourself. What we send out comes back to us. If the vibration you are sending out is not appreciating yourself, you will attract people in your life who will not appreciate you.

      Piece number two: From a brochure for the I Can Do It conference in Toronto, Canada, (For more information on the conference, go to www.icandoit.net). I read the section on Dr. Masaru Emoto’s lecture. His lecture is titled: “Love Thyself: The Message from Water.” Dr. Emoto has been doing research on how molecules of water respond to human thought and emotion. It says, “In this profound live lecture, Dr. Emoto will share his fascinating discoveries of how crystals that form in frozen water reveal changes when specific thoughts are directed toward them, thus showing how we can positively impact the earth and our personal health. To love yourself is to love and thank all of existence.”

      “To love yourself is to love and thank all of existence.” This is a very powerful statement of truth. Why, because we are mostly water and the thoughts and words we direct to ourselves impact every molecule of water within us. And, we get to choose. It’s all about us and what we think about us. What do you think about yourself? If like energy attracts like energy, and every thought and word impacts us physically, will beating or berating ourselves ever bring love, joy, or happiness into our lives?

“You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire Universe, deserve your love and affection.” Buddah

      You, yourself…you deserve it simply because you exist. There is no earning, fixing, or when to it. You deserve it now. Get on board with your beautiful self and change the world!

      Piece number three: Doreen Virtue’s Healing with the Fairies Oracle Cards. I asked for guidance and drew the Self-Reliance card. Card meaning: “You are your own best friend, and you can provide for yourself emotionally and physically.” “You can rely on yourself and your own spiritual gifts to manifest all that you need in your life.” “This card also counsels you to filter out negativity that may sway you from listening to your own inner voice.” Affirmation: “I am tuned in to my inner source of direction. I confidently rely upon this inner source to guide me perfectly.”

      Hmmm, filter out negativity includes negative self-talk and lack of self-appreciation.

      Three beautiful pieces slyly weaving together with a message of love for all of us. I am thankful with all of my heart!

With great respect for the beauty within each of you!
