24 hours, 1,440 minutes, 86,400 seconds—no matter how you express it, we only have so much time each day into which we cram work or school, cooking, cleaning, family time and a myriad of miscellaneous obligations and commitments, all clamoring for our attention.

LOVE that Liberates vs. “Love” that Enslaves

May 12th, 2009 Joann Posted in abundance, forgiveness, gratitude, happiness, higher self, love, peace, relationships, true love No Comments »

I find this article very inspiring and agree 100% with how the author distinguished the two kinds of love. I have been enslaved by “love” but it was also love that liberated me. I think many people have gone through the same experience. To those who are in love, and those who are broken-hearted, please [...]

Love Is in the Air: Five Steps into Joyful Abundance

on Manifesting Abundance at Manifesting with the Law of Attraction

What is it that brings about healing and attracts love, joy, peace and prosperity into our lives? As a journalist, writer and author, I’ve studied science and spirituality for decades and perhaps like you have formed a seamless belief system that makes sense of everything.

So I’m excited when I see proof of it, which comes over and over again and most recently in an e-mail message from a new friend of mine in Pittsburgh. He wrote to say that when we hugged, he felt the direct transfer of something from me into his chest. It didn’t carry any emotional impact, but a physical shift in his energies transpired and the next day rid him of a misconception that had caused him a great deal of anxiety.

Could I explain what had happened, he asked? Were these two events connected? What isn’t, I laughed in delight, replying with the lessons my inner voice of wisdom had just been teaching me!

Bearers of light

I spoke to David of liking him from the moment we met, as I’d sensed something very special in him. He was coordinating the Sunday service at his Unity church, and as he stood at the podium, speaking so gently of love, my heart opened and I became aware of the high spiritual energies in the room. I was there to speak and my travel fatigue instantly melted away.

During the “meet and greet” portion of the service, I hugged David gratefully for the love he had given me. So it was not I who healed him, but the Love in him that did the work. When we are open and ready for change, love responds and Light flows into and through us, bringing about the transformation we seek.

My seven-year-old grandson understands this perfectly. He delights in creating “pictures” to give away, and alongside many of his colorful airplanes and butterflies are the words, “Love is in the air.”

In this cosmic sea of spirit, composed of energetic waves of thought and feeling, love flows through every person and event. I bring to you some gift of wisdom, a loving thought or touch, and you say something that enlivens me, perhaps opens my heart to a new understanding of us both.

This is what the Hindu mystic-poet Kabir meant in saying, “Sometimes we are a wave, sometimes the ocean. We come here to bring each other to God.” When we are calm and peaceful, we float restfully in the ocean of the OneMind, immersed in its expanded perspectives and at-one with its rhythmic flow. When we are disconnected, we break into separate waves, but even then we call each other back to the One.

Waves in flow with the ocean

What separates us from the OneMind and its peace, joy and fulfillment? It is always stress, fatigue, fear and distrust, tensing us into waves of rigidity and resistance. Many of us fear being hurt and shrink away from life, closing our hearts to the healing Love in and all around us. At times we feel cold and alone, perhaps rejected, abandoned, unsure and confused. But in truth, Love has not abandoned us. We have become oblivious to its presence.

This separation is why we so often feel lost and unhappy. The closed heart, by virtue of its separation, cannot be enriched by All That Is. The law of magnetic resonance, governing the law of attraction, cannot bring riches to poverty, nor peace and happiness to a conflicted bodymind trapped in anger or judgment. When we are experiencing inner conflict and are out of integrity with our souls, we feel a gnawing hunger, a thirst for what is missing, and usually try to satisfy this craving with love relationships, euphoric chemicals, career achievement and/or material possessions. Our busyness almost distracts us from the cold internal knot of separation, but not quite.

The only way back to the ocean of the OneMind is to open our hearts to the light and unfold, petal by petal, into our blossoming.

Nature shows us what to do, especially in the springtime. Out of dark, quiet winter comes a season of warmth and renewal. Brightly colored plants and flowers draw us to the wondrous life force swirling into the curve of a leaf, colorful patches of wildflowers and the light mint greens of budding trees. Seeing the magic of spring, we remember how the Creative Force sweeps into every thing: in sheets of rain upon a rushing river; the pealing laughter in a child’s perfect cartwheel; the sparkling spiral star-dance of our magnificent Milky Way.

Because of this visible and invisible evidence of love, I trust and believe what my inner wisdom tells me: that all waves come to empty our darkness so that Light can flow into the bodymind, enabling us to gently unfold and flower into lives of beauty and joy. Our inner wisdom whispers that each and every wave helps us grow and is called, by our nature, into being.

When we listen to our souls very closely, we hear that this is our dearest wish and the work that we came here to do. The open heart knows this and does it willingly, with excitement and gratitude, understanding its soul’s purpose and the ultimate meaning of life.

The secrets of an open heart

All the same, life is sometimes like a banana peel. It seems that everything conspires to trip us up, throw us off-balance and slide us down some slippery slope, whereupon we close our tender hearts for our own protection. How to open the heart, then, when it closes suddenly or over time?

STEP 1. The most immediate antidote is to breathe and relax inside the remembered assurance that every wave comes out the OneMind and so must be a wave of love calling us back to Love. Knowing this, we breathe deeply and evenly, becoming perfectly present to the flow of air into the nose and back out of the mouth.

Your can deepen this relaxed, peaceful state of consciousness by counting breaths or following the wind of your breath into your diaphragm and back out of your body. Research has shown that focusing on the breath relaxes us, and focusing on two things simultaneously, like counting and the movement of breath, produces a deeper state of consciousness akin to meditation.

Another heart-opening technique, especially useful during conflict, is to close your eyes and focus on the space between your ears. Try this now, to see for yourself how this diffuses thought and relaxes the body. It works just as well when we focus on the space between the eyes or any two objects. Just as in a guided meditation, the act of imagining space shifts our brainwaves into the alpha bandwidth of vibration. This relaxed peacefulness neutralizes the patterns of overexcited, hyper-aroused physical tension that create most if not all illness and disease, according to neurofeedback research.

STEP 2. When we repeatedly experience this meditative state of mind, we extend it into everyday life and are better able to stay united with the OneMind. We are less upset by our own thoughts and by external events, so we live happier, healthier, more balanced lives.

Rooted in the transcendent perspectives of the OneMind, we consistently respond to life peacefully and the heart is better able to stay open. When conflict comes up, we breathe, relax and allow that wave of thought energy to wash into and through us, neither holding on to nor resisting it. This is called peaceful, nonviolent non-resistance. We “hold our seats,” as Buddhism teaches and remain peaceful.

It is easy to do this because we know who we are. We are souls observing our selves and what happens in this earth plane for the sake of learning. We are not trapped here, but choose to be here. In this sense of choice and freedom rests fearlessness, courage and the ability to stay peaceful.

By remaining open-hearted, we stay connected with our soul’s infinite wisdom and its creative solutions. We understand how to respond–what, if anything, to say–because our inner wisdom prompts us. In the silence we are able to listen to, hear, feel, sense and see the transcendent perspectives of our open, loving hearts.

Our intuition is an inner knowing of spiritual truth. It expands us beyond the ordinary thinking mind into the transcendent sixth-sense perspectives of inner knowing, feeling, sensing, hearing and seeing. Going deeper within our souls, we observe that any and all negative thoughts are erased from our minds and replaced by a clear sense of direction. At the same time, the Light heals physical discomfort, pain, stress and fatigue.

===============Advertisement=============

Serenity through Forgiveness and Unconditional Love

======================================

STEP 3. Sometimes our hearts are opened by another person’s kindly word, smile or touch, as with my friend David. Sometimes the opening occurs during a walk in the woods, as nature delights us and points the way home.

But what if someone is yelling at or demeaning us in some way that causes pain?

We can ask that person to please calm down so that we may listen better to what he or she has to say. If the person does so and we wish to listen, but nevertheless begin to lose our peace, we can draw our full attention to the heart and center the busy mind in the heart.

The energy of the heart will relax our thinking. We can open to the heart’s love and ask for the OneMind to help us flow into Love, so that this light circulates into every atom and cell of our bodies. Be assured that it will. This heart-centering will help us listen better to the other person and return love. By the law of magnetic resonance, the other person will attune to our energies and grow more loving.

This has been proved in experiments conducted by The Mind-Life Institute in cooperation with the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibet. A Buddhist monk and veteran, 30-year meditator was placed in a room with a professor outraged by the idea of reincarnation. The man berated the monk loudly and to no avail. The monk listened placidly and did not flinch once; in fact, he was hooked up to electrodes and there was no “startle” response whatsoever. Finally the professor grew just as calm and willing to conduct a reasonable conversation.

Try this for yourself. Be the peacemaker and see what happens.

STEP 4. We can keep our hearts open by freeing ourselves from judgment. The verbal thinking mind loves to name everything and remember similar situations that it then relives and discusses with itself. The ego says, “Aha, I recognize who this person is, because So-and-So was that way, too. This person is devious and dangerous.” Even if the ego is right, this judgment narrows our perspectives and our ability to clearly perceive the full truth about the other person, who, like us, is much more than what was done.

A single, solitary judgment triggers a volley of thinking that closes the heart, blocks inner wisdom and separates us from ourselves, the other person and God! Moreover, constantly reliving the past keeps us from being fully present to the now-moment and serving as a creative, shining light to other people.

The antidote is not to let the thinking mind name, categorize, judge and persecute anyone–us included. We can move the naming, thinking mind into silence by teaching it that no matter what comes up within us or in external reality–an angry person, the loss of a job, illness, the death of a loved one–it is a wave of experience that brings healing and growth. It comes to rid us of what is no longer needed and to evoke in us anything that might be missing. In the world of Spirit, nothing is lost. All is accounted for.

STEP 5. We can be at-one with goodness by keeping our hearts open, rejoicing in the beauty of the world and seeking something to love in every person we meet, including the derelict on the street who teaches us that this is not who we want to be. Even if we feel repulsed, we can look at this person closely enough to find something in him or her to love. Some facial characteristic, some trait…because if love is in the air, it is also in each of us, even at our worst.

Do we have to judge or detest that derelict? My inner wisdom says no, because this person has just given me the gift of knowing myself. I am grateful for that gift and can reach out to return love without needing or expecting appreciation.

In my experience, we come here to open our hearts and love ourselves, others and God. If we feel cold and aloof or separate and apart much of the time, there is a very good chance that our lives are cloudy and gray.

Do you have all of the love, money, happiness and peace that you want in your life? If not, check to see if your heart is open and joyfully aware of the abundance in each and every precious thing in you and your life.

If your heart is closed, you can open it easily with these mind-expansion techniques which enable us to become present to the present. In opening to Love, you will be enlivened by its joy and peace, so that everything you need and so richly deserve will come to you. All else will be pruned away, healed, to make room for fresh growth.

This is the simple and magical secret of life: You have within you all the Love needed to create and attract the life you want. Love calls you to shine your light, for love and love alone will heal our world.

If we stay peaceful, we can catch the waves of love upswelling in our hearts and ride them with perfect balance into our everyday choices and actions for economic parity, social justice and environmental responsibility.

To create a perfect planet of peace and love, all we have to do is remember that love is in the air. We can bring its Light into being with the thought of it, the need of it, the hope of Love that is it. In this wave is the spiritual awakening of our world.

Feng Shui And Romance – Using The Ancient Art To Enhance Your Romantic Space

“If your love life needs a quick boost, you can use the art of placement to produce the romantic results you desire.” Heidi Richards

Feng Shui (pronounced fung shway) is the ancient Asian practice of object arrangement and space planning designed to bring balance, harmony and well-being to your environment. Its purpose is to enhance prosperity, creative, health and romance. Feng Shui fortifies a home with positive energy known as chi. The attainment of positive chi is both an art and a blessing to those who manifest that chi. The word “feng” means wind and “shui” means water, each one associated with a good harvest and ultimate good health or good fortune.

If your love life needs a quick boost, you can use the art of placement to produce the romantic results you desire. Relationships need the proper environment to grow. They need the balance of the five elements, too much or too little will find the romance wither. Here are some Feng Shui tips to enhance your romantic space:

1. The first thing you must do is remove clutter out of your romance area (generally this is the bedroom). That means you must remove trash, dirty ashtrays, dead plants and nothing should be stored under the bed. Dust and cobwebs on the fans, walls, light fixtures and ceilings should be cleaned away.

2. Enhance your space with romance colors, such as shades of pinks, reds and whites. Guys, this does not mean it has to be feminine. You can use maroon, grayish tones of pinks and whites to achieve the same results. The key is to not use any one color so much that it overpowers the others. Other good colors include browns, beiges, lavenders, yellows and deeper shades of those are appropriate.

3. If you keep flowers in the room (an excellent way to attract romance into your life), make sure they are always fresh. At the first sign of wilting, toss them out. Silk flowers are an okay alternative, provided they are free of dust. Absolutely no dried flowers as they signify death. Also, make sure the roses are de-thorned. Nothing prickly such as cactus, unless your goal is to break-up.

4. In Feng Shui a Relationship Altar positively stimulates a relationship. Designate a special place in your romance area in which to put items that will encourage a healthy, loving relationship. Things to include in your relationship altar can include a heart shaped pink crystal quartz, a pair of candles, mandarin ducks.

5. Use the Pairs Principle to encourage love. That means two candles, two nightstands, two lights on top, two potted plants, two pillows, two chairs, etc. The Chinese symbol for love is Mandarin ducks. They signify love, romance, fidelity, affection, and loyalty in love.

6. Your bed should be placed in the commanding position of the room. This is to permit the widest possible vision. The door or entry to the room should be easily seen from the bed. And the head of the bed should be against a wall or against a corner. If you have nightstands, make sure one is on either side (a pair) and that the bed is accessible on three sides to attract and keep a partner. The bed should not be placed under a window.

7. The bedroom is for sleep and intimacy. No one should come into your room without your invitation. There should be no distractions such as workout equipment, a television, things that would remind you of work.

8. It is good to hang pink (heart-shaped) crystals and wind chimes in a sunny window to attract good love energy (yang).

9. Pictures of you as a child, your children or other relatives should also be removed from the bedroom or romance area. This space should be reserved for couples and should only display pictures of the two of you.

10. Dim lights will give the room a warm, inviting feeling. No harsh fluorescents or high wattage lighting, here.

While this is by no means the ultimate guide to Feng Shui for Romance, it is a good start. These ten tips will give your relationship area the boost it deserves and your romance the fulfillment it requires. Altar your space and you will altar your love life.

February 28, Positive Affirmation for Love

February 28th, 2009 Jeanie Marshall Posted in Affirmations, Personal Development, Theme: Love, love, positive affirmation No Comments »

"I act with purposeful awareness of love."

… Greetings! Our theme is Love at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com.. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming love. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
The purpose of awareness is to know. In today’s statement, affirm that you know love through your actions and, further, that you act with love. Awareness is a gift you can have before an action (future), during it (present), and after it (past). Start where you are — where it is most familiar — and expand your awareness in the present as you act. The past and the future are available to you as a context for the present. However, love is an energy that exists only in the present. It is the Presence.

About Your Process
As you read this message, consider some specific actions you will take today or tomorrow and the extent to which you desire to be aware of the love in the actions. After the actions, reflect on your level of awareness during the action. This allows you to set an intention and review the manifestations of your intention. As you continue with this approach, you become more and more aware of love and other dynamics during your actions, no longer needing to wait until later to review the impact. You know in the now.

About February 29
This year, there is no February 29. However, I have written an affirmation and message for Integrating/Embodying Love. Enjoy!

"Today is an opportunity for love.
Every day is an opportunity for love."

About This Affirmation
First of all, this is an unusual day — it is on the calendar once in four or eight years. I had an uncle who attributed his long life to being born on this day. I remember his excitement at his 21st birthday party with his great grand children! Today, open yourself so wide that love can express itself through you. Love desires to be expressed, and who better than through you? Look around each corner to find the opportunity for love. Sip love with your morning coffee, tea, or warm lemon water. Read love into your reports and daily tasks.

About Your Process
These are the last love affirmations, but not the last day for love. You may want to flash back to the over-arching intention you set at the beginning of the month or when you began this process. Ask yourself if you are clearer about what love means to you. Feel love flow through your veins. Let it integrate into each breath you breathe. Experience love shower you with its healing vibration.

About Related Articles
We make available free to the Internet community many empowering articles, including the Marshall House Articles Section, the Empowering Personal Development Articles , the Voice of Jeanie Marshall Articles, and Jeanie’s articles at EzineArticles.com. Here are suggested articles that relate to today’s principles:

“Take Time to Save Time” identifies fifteen ideas for enhancing your effectiveness.
"Your Focus of Attention is Your Key to Happiness" helps you to clarify where you desire to put your attention — your energy — which is a creative force.

"Living in Love TeleMeditation" Program
This TeleMeditation is designed for mentors and managers who want to live in the consciousness of love in any and all situations. Includes an MP3 of the 30-minute TeleMeditation live event, an mp3 of just the guided visualization, a Participant Guide with an advance assignment and articles, and an ebook by Jeanie "21 Quotations for Meditation Time." More about Living in Love.

About Our Next Theme
Tomorrow is a new month, with a new theme. The theme is balance. Before you receive the first affirmation, I suggest that you take a few moments to determine an over-arching intention about balance. Consider also what balance means to you.

Make this a presentable day!

"I let every act be an act of unconditional love."

About Today’s Affirmation
Every act requires energy. Every act is energy. Every act has an energy field. Sometimes you might think that you can cover up your feelings by making an act "look" good. But if an act comes from the consciousness of unconditional love, it will look however it looks and still carry the energy of unconditional love. Bungling through a conversation while radiating unconditional love usually yields understanding. Expressing eloquence while being unloving usually yields misunderstanding or other distortion. Words and actions represent (re-present) the energy of the deeper consciousness.

About Your Process
The Internet is an ideal place to practice this idea of acting from a consciousness of unconditional love. Before opening a message from someone, ask yourself if it feels as though the message is resonating with unconditional love. As you read the message, ask yourself this question again. Observe, with a nonjudgmental eye. Discernment without judgment or disdain is a gift to assist you in lifting consciousness. Here is another way to practice, focusing on yourself: Breathe in unconditional love prior to writing a message. Just sit quietly at your computer with still fingers, breathing love in and out. Then write. Dip in again to the pool of unconditional love before pushing the "send" button. Love yourself for doing this.

"Your Focus of Attention is Your Key to Happiness" helps you to clarify where you desire to put your attention — your energy — which is a creative force.
“Moving Through Puddles” describes the “Puddle Theory of Personal Development” which helps those seeking enlightenment to move more easily through the cycles and changes of life.

"I draw a circle of love and encase myself in it."

… Greetings! Our theme is Love at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming love. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
A circle is both powerful and simple. Living in a circle of love is your greatest protection from anything that is not love-based. I often giggle at the ingenuity of people to construct barriers against things they do not want. All you really need is love. Love, love, love. Love is all you need. (Thanks to the Beatles for the lyrics.)

About Your Process
Those of you who have worked with me in workshops or personal sessions perhaps know about the Circle of Abundance, which is energized by the Infinite Source. As the circle is established inside you, it replicates itself and encases you in a sphere. This sphere is magnetized to attract abundance into your life, moving you into a natural cycle of giving and receiving. This same image is a valuable one for the circle of love described in today’s affirmation. Let the circle multiply and attract more love, which you can give freely since it is constantly replaced from the Infinite Source.

"Abundance and Prosperity are More than Money" focuses on three dynamics that often are interwoven for empowering or disempowerment.
“Moving Through Puddles” describes the “Puddle Theory of Personal Development” which helps those seeking enlightenment to move more easily through the cycles and changes of life.

"I manifest from and with unconditional love of myself and others."

… Radio Show Today! See below.

About Today’s Affirmation
As I have mentioned in past daily messages, "unconditional love" is the term that, for me, best describes what I mean by this month’s theme of "love." The term, of course, means to love without limitations, without expectations, without conditions. While the words of this definition for "unconditional love" are expressed as double negatives, they leave us with an overall understanding of a positive dynamic. When you manifest (or create or act) from a consciousness of unconditional love, you are powerful beyond words. In that consciousness, you do not need to resort to negating negatives to explain; you ARE love with every aspect of your being, speaking wordless love. Love yourself and you love others; lift up yourself and others in this loving energy.

About Your Process
What is your unique process for manifesting from and with unconditional love? Do you sense that unconditional love is a partner? a driver? a follower? a powerful force? a gentle companion? When you are acting or claiming love, what are you specifically aware of from inside yourself? Are you aware of any barriers to manifesting unconditional love? If your answer is "yes" to the last question, what actions must you take to dissolve or manage or work with those barriers? And if your answer is "no" to that previous question, you may wish to explore if there are barriers that are hidden from your awareness. With your intention, transcend the barriers and claim love.

"Abundance and Prosperity are More than Money" focuses on three dynamics that often are interwoven for empowering or disempowerment.

"I claim love. I claim my power throughout life."

… Radio Show Tomorrow!

About Today’s Affirmation
To claim love and power means to embrace it, not capture it or grab it. Love and power need space to grow and prosper. As you live in the expectancy of love, you feel its power so that your world is enriched. Perhaps you are making powerful claims these days: to live in the consciousness of love, to embody your own power, to embrace your life mission, to live life to its fullest. It is time to claim love.

About Your Process
The ideas of the acting/claiming phase of the DailyAffirm process are beautifully presented below, quoting from Marianne Williamson’s "A Return to Love," pages 190-91 of the 1992 edition. (This is often attributed to Nelson Mandela who quoted this piece in his 1994 Inaugural Speech.)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
"Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?"
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so that
Other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously
Give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

“How Big is Your World?” is a little article that focuses on how the world grows as you expand in consciousness.
“Resonating with the Light with Jeanie Marshall” is an interview conducted by Susan Barber from Spirit of Ma’at focusing on Jeanie’s energy work.
“Say Goodbye to Struggle” encourages us to end the practice of glorifying struggles of life.

Make this a powerful day!

"I act with love in my heart.
I speak with love on my lips. I walk with love in my feet."

… Radio Show Wednesday!

About Today’s Affirmation
This affirmation goes hand in hand — or maybe that is foot to foot — with yesterday’s affirmation. As you walk and talk and feel, recognize that love is with you. If you are filled with love, everything you say is filled with love (it has to be!). If you are constantly dipping into the feelings and ideas and energy of love, then all your actions are loving. Some readers may react to this defensively with a thought such as "Sometimes I forget to be loving, I’m only human." Un huh, yes, you are human. Job One of being human is …. to love. And when you forget to be loving, no problem. That provides an opportunity to remember love.

About Your Process
Are you experiencing a quickening of energy right now? If not yet, just wait a few days or minutes, maybe weeks. By "quickening" I mean a high quality vibration, not the frenetic energy associated with physical movement or hyperactivity or a caffeine rush. It is a quickening in consciousness. Lightening. A lightening up. Enlightenment. A blending of love and light. Feel the love, taste the love, move with the love.

February 22, Positive Affirmation for Love

February 22nd, 2009 Jeanie Marshall Posted in Affirmations, Personal Development, Theme: Love, love, positive affirmation No Comments »

"Love energizes my actions."

About Today’s Affirmation
Imagine what your life would be like if every action were fueled by love. How delightful it would be to start your car with love in the gas tank and love as the key, to answer the phone with the hello of love, to begin your day with a loving stretch, to open your meetings with love as the intention, to greet friends and strangers with a loving hug. Love is the most powerful energy that exists. And to quote John Lennon and Paul McCartney, "All you need is love, love. Love is all you need. Love, love, love. Love, love, love. Love, love, love."

About Your Process
Action, action, action…. So much of society equates success with action and activity. I have often observed people engrossed in a flurry of activity without being successful or satisfied. Have you observed the same? Do you do this yourself? Organizations are designed for taking actions through their employees, as well as their products and services. From a higher perspective, though, actions are not nearly as important as the consciousness which accompanies the actions. What powers your actions? If it is the consciousness of love that energizes your actions, you are living a purposeful life. Unconditional love is a power that transcends physical manifestations.

“Energetics of Integrity” describes the energetics of the principle of integrity, especially in organizations.
“Centering: Purpose and Phrases for a Group” suggests ways to talk about how to focus group participants for more meaningful meetings and other group experiences.

Make this an energetic day!

Positive Affirmations for the Week of February 22-28, Love

February 22nd, 2009 Jeanie Marshall Posted in Affirmations, Personal Development, Theme: Love, love, positive affirmation No Comments »

Greetings! This message serves as an overview for the acting and claiming affirmations of this fourth week and the integrating and embodying affirmations, even though we do not have any days in February beyond the fourth week. The top navigation bar links provide you with additional information. Read the messages Day by Day or, simply check in when the spirit moves you. If you prefer to receive the daily messages by email, please subscribe to our email alert list (see navigation bar).

About Acting/Claiming Affirmations and Love
The affirmations focus on acting in partnership with love this week. Include love in the planning and expectancy of your actions (future), in the experience of our actions (present) and in the reflection of our completed actions (past). Every time you speak, make a claim about who you are or what you think or feel. This week, become more aware than ever that these claims are made in association with love. Each word is an action; even a thought is creative and therefore can be considered an action. We move through the week fueled by the energy of love.

About your Process in the Fourth Week
How are you going to claim love or self-love this week? What is the most important action you can take to demonstrate to yourself that you love yourself or you love someone or something else? How can you show that you love your computer? your car? the clerk in the supermarket? the parking lot attendant? Your action may be as simple as a smile, as gentle as a kind look, or as engaging as a playful statement. Consider for a moment, how the whole world would be transformed if you and everyone else in the world smiled a genuine smile of unconditional love at everyone else. Wow! What a picture.

About the Affirmations in the Fourth Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent being and intending for love, it would be the affirmation for February 26: "I draw a circle of love and encase myself in it." I find the image of a "circle of love" very powerful.

About Integrating/Embodying Affirmations and Love
We only have one Integrating and embodying affirmation for love, and this year we do not even have a day to work with it! So we squeeze it into February 28 or perhaps March 1. Although, come to think of it, how about if you let this be an affirmation for every day of the year!?!

About your Process with this Integrating/Embodying Affirmation
How are you going to integrate love into your life? You may decide to do it by reflecting on the month’s processes and ideas. Or, you may decide to mediate on love without any content. Or, you may notice how you have changed this month. Or, you may notice that other things in your life have changed. Has your concept of love expanded?

Make this a lovely week!

February 21, Positive Affirmation for Love

February 21st, 2009 Jeanie Marshall Posted in Affirmations, Personal Development, Theme: Love, love, positive affirmation No Comments »

"Love enhances all my thoughts and feelings.
Unconditional love is a partner in my life."

… Greetings! Our theme is Love at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This third week of the month we work with our being and intention for love. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
Love woven into all your thoughts and feelings enhances your life. At a time when so many folks are looking to find (or trying to separate from) a life partner, it is comforting to know that the purity of unconditional love itself is always available to everyone as a partner. The beauty of having unconditional love as a partner is that it enhances relationships with everything and everyone. This love is never jealous or clinging or dependent or dominant or snarly in the morning. Unconditional love is the power of One.

About Your Process
Today, consider if there is anything else you desire to feel or breathe or know about love. Know with your heart; know with your eyes; know with your head; know with your toes; know to the depth of your being. Let "knowing" be more than an intellectual experience. Is there anything else you desire to know about love? How can you use the energy of love to enhance your life?

"Ask Questions that are Empowering" provides you with many different questions that you can ask yourself or others that encourage empowering answers. These questions move you forward on your personal development journey rather than backward.
"Feel Better One Thought at a Time" is a short poem about a simple approach for experiencing greater happiness as a result of intentional positive thought choices.
"With a Focus on the Power of Guided Meditation" is a dialogue between Irene Watson, Managing Editor of Reader Views, and Jeanie Marshall.
“Guided Meditation for Empowered Consciousness “ presents an overview to approaching meditation as a divine practice.

About the Next Type of Affirmations
Tomorrow begins the Acting/Claiming Affirmations. Today,
reflect on your considerations of the upcoming week, so that you can
more easily affirm and take actions that are loving. Remind yourself of the
over-arching intention that you set for love so that you can more fully embrace love in your actions.

Make this a Onederful day!

February 20, Positive Affirmation for Love

February 20th, 2009 Jeanie Marshall Posted in Affirmations, Personal Development, Theme: Love, love, positive affirmation No Comments »

"I understand the meaning of love.
Love is being Real right now."

About Today’s Affirmation
By "understand the meaning of" I mean more than simply being able to present a definition of the word "love" that appeals to the intellect. You can only truly understand love through feeling love, through loving, through living love. I borrowed the idea for the second sentence from Brother Bob who wrote the books: Please Remind Me, I am the Presence of Love and Real Feelings. I remember as a little girl seeking and finding meaning in events and conditions. It seemed a natural endeavor. I rarely asked "why," even at a very young age. I was far more interested in "how?" and "what?" and also asked "where?" and "when?" Sometimes I did ask "why?" but I did not seem to get the answers I was looking for with that question.

About Your Process
So, as you explore the meaning of love, you may want to be attentive to the way in which you ask your questions of yourself and others. What does love mean to you? Do you desire (or want or need) to deepen the meaning of love? How might you do that? How do you experience love in your life? How do you know that you love someone or something? How well do you love yourself?

"Ask Questions that are Empowering" provides you with many different questions that you can ask yourself or others that encourage empowering answers. These questions move you forward on your personal development journey rather than backward.

February 19, Positive Affirmation for Love

February 19th, 2009 Jeanie Marshall Posted in Affirmations, Personal Development, Theme: Love, love, positive affirmation No Comments »

"I remember to love. I remember love. I Am Love."

… TeleSeminar Tomorrow! See below

About Today’s Affirmation
An affirmation is a means of remembering — reminding you of something you believe or something you desire to believe. All this month, you can use the daily affirmations to remember to love, to remember what love is. If you experience generalized fear, you can use this experience to remember that fear is the absence of love: remember to love. If you feel you have lost your way, you can use that moment to remember that love shines its light to help you find your path: remember to love yourself. Let every experience help you to remember that you are love.

About Your Process
What are some of the ways that you assist yourself in remembering the little details of life? Perhaps a string around your finger? Or your watch worn in an unusual way? Or an acronym? Or some other trick or technique? Today, identify some simple strategy to remember something more important than an historical date or academic fact: Remember to love. Remember love. Remember who you are. For every question you ask yourself or others today, remember the answer is "love."

"Your Focus of Attention is Your Key to Happiness" helps you to clarify where you desire to put your attention — your energy — which is a creative force.
"Feel Better One Thought at a Time" is a short poem about a simple approach for experiencing greater happiness as a result of intentional positive thought choices.
“Fire Free Bird” recounts a true story about a bird who flew into my fireplace to teach a powerful lesson.
