March 10, Positive Affirmation for Balance

Jeanie — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:01:57 +0000

"I allow balance to flow through me and to act as me."

Greetings! Our theme is Balance at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This second week of the month we work with receiving and accepting balance. 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
Today’s affirmation challenges you to become balance, to be balance. As balance flows through you, you become familiar with its vibration. In order for something to "act as" you, you must become it. You must be what you desire. Balance is not something outside yourself, but inside. Other people’s perceptions of your sense of balance may be interesting information (worthy of an appropriate amount of your attention as a piece of data), yet your own perceptions about balance are the ones that are essential for your health and satisfaction.

About Your Process
To enhance your process as you say or work with today’s affirmation, consider these questions. As you feel balance flow through you, what does it feel like? As you see balance flow through you, what does it look like? As you sense balance flow through you, what do you sense? As you listen to the sounds of balance, what do you hear? As you resonate with balance, what do you become? These questions expand your consciousness about balance so that you can more easily become at one with it.

March 9, Positive Affirmation for Balance

Jeanie — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:01:44 +0000

"I receive messages of balance from the Universe.
I flow like a smooth river in this balance."

About Today’s Affirmation
The balance of the Universe is infallible. In the narrowness of the human focus, you often cannot see the perfection of it all. When it is hardest to see, that is the time when you most need to trust, to put yourself in the hands of the divine or your inner guidance. It is easy to trust when you can see the evidence of balance in the outer world. Now, however, you need to trust at a deeper level, to trust in the invisible rather than the visible. Let the Universal river carry you.

About Your Process
Consider several areas of life that you try hard to balance, try to make balance — perhaps work and play, your checkbook, fairness or honesty in a particular relationship, food choices, or reactions to others. Notice how you use your weekend to try to achieve a balance for the week’s activities. Remind yourself of the over-arching intention you set for balance. Look deeply at your own image or interpretation of "flow like a smooth river" or maybe it is a bubbling brook or raging ocean or deep pool or shallow puddle. What do you need to accept into your life so that you experience balance as you desire and define it?

“Fire Free Bird” recounts a true story about a bird who flew into my fireplace to teach a powerful lesson.
“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.

About the Book of the Month Recommendation

Since so much of my work is related to working with energy and energy fields, I have frequently been asked over a period of many years to recommend books about energy. Usually I suggested one or two books that I think a particular individual will like that might address some relevant topics, but then I found a book I felt good about recommending to anyone who is interested in energy, energy healing, and energy fields.

The book I regularly recommend is called
Energy Medicine by Donna Eden. This is my pick for Balance in the month of March on DailyAffirm. She has prepared a companion DVD which is also excellent.

You may read my book

How to Find Peace of Mind

Remez Sasson — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:41:30 +0000

Everyone desires peace of mind, but the big question is how to find peace of mind, when there are problems and difficulties, when there are worries and anxiety, and when you are busy all the time with work, study and chores? When you are so busy all day long, how and when can you find peace of mind?

How to find peace of mind when your mind is constantly occupied with thoughts, taking you from one thought to another, from one worry to another?

You can find peace of mind, but this requires that you do something about it.

What is peace of mind? It is a state of inner peace, when your mind is calm, like the surface of a lake on a summer day. It is a state when you are not harassed by thoughts and worries, and you can avoid the thoughts you don’t want to think. It is a state of freedom from worry and anxiety, and from restless, negative and disturbing thoughts.

In this state there is calmness and happiness, better concentration, inner strength, and a heightened state of awareness. Your external life might not necessarily change, but your inner life, your mind, and your attitude would change.

How to find peace of mind?

Everything that can quiet your mind will help you find peace of mind:

Spend some time every now and then in nature, in a forest or at the beach.
Take a walk, where you can be alone.
Get enough sleep at night.
When watching TV, prefer comedies and programs that make you laugh, feel happy or inspire you.
Read inspiring quotes every day.
Be more forgiving, and don’t harbor grudges or resentments.
Don’t blame or criticize other people.
Don’t postpone doing things that you have to, and which don’t like doing. Do them, and take them out of your mind.
Be aware of your thoughts and refuse dwelling on negative thoughts or worries. Don’t fight them, but just try to express lack of interest in them.
When feeling worried or tense, take a few deep breaths.
Seek the company of peaceful people.

These are just a few simple tips to show you how to find peace of mind. All these tips can bring some temporary inner peace when you need it, but if you wish to find a deeper and more constant and stable state of inner peace you will need to:

Practice concentration exercises.
Practice meditation, any form of meditation.
Develop some degree of inner detachment (it has nothing to do with being indifferent), so that you don’t get swayed or carried away by events, people, or what people say or do.

Get a complete course, with guidance and exercises on how to find peace of mind.

What is Intuition and How do I use it?

Guest Author — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 12:41:05 +0000

Intuition is an incredible resource and gift that we have been given to help us live our best life. Unfortunately, not many people know what it is or how to use it. The word intuition means “in to you” in Latin. Florence Scovel, a theologian, once said, “Intuition is the spiritual faculty that doesn’t explain; [...]

"I open to allow balance and magical synchronicity
to operate in my life."

About Today’s Affirmation
The world is so filled with images and messages about making things happen that it can sometimes be a shock to even consider letting them happen. When you are in the midst of synchronicity, you know that your higher wisdom is in charge, transcending the human manipulation that you might construct. It is such a joy to get out of the way and let the natural balance of life answer your desires in its way. The flow and processes of the Universe are truly magical if you only let go of the reins of control and allow.

About Your Process
I often work with incredibly powerful persons. I recall doing a consultation with such a person, with a wide span of influence and visibility. He was in a shift of merging the being and the doing, the making and the letting. Intellectually, he made the shift many years ago — that was easy for him. Then, he had to make the shift emotionally and physically, which were more challenging for him. Spiritually, no shift was really required for him. One of the questions he asked me was "Does everyone go through this or is my process unique?" To which I answered, "yes." The fuller meaning was that we all do go through various transitions, yet each proceeds in his or her own unique ways. Comparing with others is not usually very helpful. Just be where you are, and open.

Positive Affirmations for the Week of March 8-14, Balance

Jeanie — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 09:08:35 +0000

Greetings! In this message, I’ll give you an overview of the next seven days of the DailyAffirm Process. The sidebars 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 one of our email alert lists (check the options at the bottom of the navigation bar).

About Receiving/Accepting Affirmations and Balance
The ability to be receptive (generally considered a feminine quality) in a masculine and male-oriented society is, in itself, a demonstration of balance. Truly, you must balance the masculine and feminine energies as well as other energies so that one part neither dominates nor distorts the whole (nor believes that one part is the whole). Open. Open to allow. Open to allow so that you can accept and receive.

About your Process in the Second Week
Consider this week what you are most in need of accepting into your life so that you experience balance. Perhaps such qualities as love or peace or calmness or clarity. Perhaps new ideas. Or a new way of thinking. Notice whether you believe that you must accept something from outside yourself or from inside yourself. Notice also any uneasiness about receptivity or acceptance. How do you define and achieve balance in your portion of the world?

About the Affirmations in the Second Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent receiving and accepting for Balance, I would choose the March 11 affirmation:: "Dear God, allow me to see balance in a way that I can understand." This simple prayer supports you in making balance real and present in your life, not as a theory or a dream or a fantasy.

Make this an ACCEPTional week!

March 7, Positive Affirmation for Balance

Jeanie — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 12:01:15 +0000

"I let Spirit
(My Higher Self, God, My Spirit Guides, The One, The Force, Infinite Source)
purify any remaining thoughts and feelings of struggle and injustice."

Greetings! Our theme is Balance at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-balance. 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
This affirmation is the last of the releasing ones with this theme, so give the remains of non-balance to Spirit for purification. Select any (or all!) designations of higher power. You cannot have too much higher power. Give up (up, up, up) struggle and belief in struggle. Give up (up, up, up) injustice and belief in injustice. Give up (up, up, up) disharmony and belief in disharmony. Let Spirit purify you.

About Your Process
While you are reading or saying today’s affirmation, you may want to let your breathing follow the rhythm of the words: the in-breath brings in an awareness of Spirit and the out-breath releases those remaining thoughts and feelings of struggle and injustice, or anything else you associate with the opposite of balance as you have defined it. Let this affirmation empty you out so that you can fill yourself with those things that you desire. Of course, if you want to hang on to struggle and injustice…… Know that it is your choice.

“Freedom from Bondage” discusses releasing bonds of limitation, including a brief case study of energetic release.
“Say Goodbye to Struggle” encourages us to end the practice of glorifying struggles of life.
"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.
“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.

About the Next Type of Affirmations
Beginning tomorrow DailyAffirm focuses on the theme of balance with Receiving/Accepting affirmations. The releasing of this week has made more room available to receive the blessings of life. You may want to re-visit your over-arching intention for balance as you shift from one type of affirmation to another.

Make this a wonder-full day!

March 6, Positive Affirmation for Balance

Jeanie — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 12:01:38 +0000

"I let go of thoughts that suggest there is no balance.
I stop creating images that life is unfair and
start creating images of joy."

About Today’s Affirmation
Today’s affirmation invites you to dissolve and erase ideas and beliefs that block your acceptance of balance. You may find yourself working successfully with this affirmation without even knowing precisely what those ideas and beliefs are OR you may find information jumps out at you everywhere you turn today. When your journey is the latter, it is time for you to turn your attention from these images that you do not want to images that you do want. Give this releasing process the proper attention — just enough to recognize what you do not want — so that you can give your attention intentionally to what you do want. As the thoughts of imbalance and unfairness and injustice and indecision come into your conscious awareness, let them flow from you, and give your focus to balance and fairness and justice and decision.

About Your Process
Are you noticing that you and others are releasing old stuff as you work with these Releasing/Cleansing affirmations? The power of this process (as well as other self-development processes) is more greatly enhanced when you sharpen your awareness of your own process and the processes of others. What do you notice today about balance or imbalance? about fairness or unfairness? about life in any aspect? To what do you most want to give your attention?

As you become aware of specific beliefs that are limiting thoughts, you may wish to return to working with the affirmations of March 1 and March 2. You can adjust either or both affirmations to incorporate the limiting beliefs that you discover, if you choose. You will find that writing these affirmations according to the writing process explained in "Writing Affirmations for Empowerment" will be particularly effective.

"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.
“Pluck it for the Bucket” describes a process for releasing toxins from the energy field, such as, old emotional baggage, false beliefs, dysfunctional patterns.

Make this a clear day!

Do You Have the “Right” Cup Full?

Edward Mills — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 20:06:00 +0000

Have you heard the story of the Buddhist scholar who went to visit an old and respected monk to discuss Buddhism? The monk invited the scholar in and they sat down. While the monk prepared tea the scholar immediately began to expound upon all he had learned about Buddhism at the university. On and on he went while the old monk quietly listened and prepared the tea.

When the tea was ready, the scholar continued to speak even as the old monk poured the tea. Suddenly, the scholar stopped and jumped up as he realized that tea was pouring down onto his leg. The old monk had filled the scholar’s cup and was continuing to pour tea into his already full cup.

The scholar shouted, “You old fool. What are you thinking?”

The old monk calmly replied, “A cup that is already full has no room to receive.”

This story expresses the importance of having an open mind and a willingness to listen for and receive new information.

This is good advice.

However, there is another cup metaphor, from the Old Testament, that seems to contradict the message in this story. I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “My cup runneth over.” In this usage, an overflowing cup is an expression of true abundance.

So how do we reconcile these two seemingly contradictory metaphors?

Well I believe we all have two “cups.” One of these cups we want to keep as full as we possibly can, full to overflowing whenever possible. The other cup we want to keep as empty and open as we possibly can. What are these cups?

The empty cup is easy. I’ve already given you the answer to that one up above: Abundant Mystics have an “empty” mind that is open to new ideas and possibilities. Abundant Mystics understand that their minds are a great tool. But they don’t allow the “tool” to run the show.

When your mind is full, you cannot access new insights and ideas. You cannot hear the guidance that comes from inner wisdom and from the Universe. And most of all, you cannot receive all of the blessings that are being offered to you.

So Abundant Mystics have learned to keep their minds open and empty as much as possible.

And which cup is full? Which cup do Abundant Mystics want to “runneth over?” Would you like to take a guess?

It is the cup of the heart!

Abundant Mystics have an overflowing heart. They actively seek to fill their heart with light, love and joy and allow that energy to overflow out into the world.

And the more you can allow your light, love and joy to flow out into the world the more abundance is showered back on you. But, of course, the cup of your mind must be empty in order to receive those blessings.

I have come to see this as one of the secrets to TRUE Abundance.

Release your thoughts and ideas about abundance and fill yourself with feelings and faith about abundance. The more you can do that, the more abundance you will attract into your life.

Stop spewing your thoughts and start flowing your love out into the world. The more you do, the abundance will flow back to you.

I first explored this concept in my audio program, Release the Money Madness and Unleash YOUR Money Magic. Because the context of this program is now out of date – I recorded it in the Fall of 2008 during the height of the economic chaos – and because of my tendency to overindulge my inner perfectionist (one way that my mind cup is full!) I have not been offering this program for sale. My plan was to update it and release a second edition. There just has not been enough time.

Producing that program was an amazing experience for me and a brilliant opportunity for me to practice having an empty mind and a full heart. There was so much personal learning that happened as I wrote, recorded, edited and offered it. Some programs get produced without much personal growth. But not this one! This one pushed me WAY out of my comfort zone. And that’s a good thing!

Because once I got through my resistance and willingly stepped out into the unknown, the information for this program came through me with such power that I had a hard time holding onto all of it. In fact, I would say that writing and recording this program was the closest I’ve come to channeling.

There are so many life-altering concepts in the program, concepts that I had never consciously explored before.

The empty head / full heart idea was new.
The idea that money has been stripped of its sacredness was new.
The crucial importance of restoring that sacredness to our financial interactions was new.
The recognition that this financial “melt down” is an amazing opening and an opportunity for Modern Day Mystics to make a major shift in the way our culture relates to money was new.
And the, at the time, seemingly crazy idea that we were (are) in the midst of the most fertile opportunity for Modern Day Mystics to embrace TRUE Abundance was also new!

The bottom line is that it’s a powerful program for Modern Day Mystics who want to step into TRUE Abundance!

So, because the material in this program is so valuable, I’ve decided to offer it again at a GREATLY reduced price. The program, which includes 3 MP3 recordings, a guided visualization, a 60-page ebook, a list of 50 inspiring abundance quotes and a master list of over 240 affirmations originally sold for $79.

But until I decide to take it back off the market, or update it and release the second edition, you can grab it for just $19.00!

And even though the context that I use to set the stage is no longer current, the content itself is timeless and incredibly valuable. So go check it out. It of course comes with my unconditional 60-day money back guarantee. So there’s absolutely no risk to you.

And for WAY less than the cost of dinner out and a movie, you’ll have access to some truly abundance building ideas and tools.

So go get your copy of Release the Money Madness and Unleash YOUR Money Magic for just $19.00 now.

And remember… keep your mind empty and your heart full!

March 5, Positive Affirmation for Balance

Jeanie — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 12:01:43 +0000

"I cut negative bonds of attachment to imbalance and inequality.
I untie the duality of bondage and control."

About Today’s Affirmation
Cutting negative bonds of attachment is a powerful technique for releasing and detaching yourself from someone or something. You can perceive or imagine the quality or characteristics of the bonds between yourself and whatever keeps you from experiencing balance. My definition of a technique is a method to train you or focus your attention to do something so well that you do not need the technique — similar to training wheels on a child’s bicycle. As you experiment with powerful techniques (such as many that I mention, and those from other sources), you must remember that they are only tools — you are the power. You have incredible power. If some technique teaches you about your own power, it has done its job. If the author of a technique tells you that the technique is required in order for you to be powerful, it has not served you, but the author.

About Your Process
You can use your imagination to check the bonds that keep you attached to someone or something. The attachment may be a belief that someone or something has power over you. Without focusing on the person or thing to which you are negatively attached, examine the bonds. Are the bonds tight? What color are they? How thick are they? Of what substance are they? What instrument is required to cut the bonds? When you are ready, cut them. As you cut the bonds, also cut or untie the belief that the bondage of one + the control of another = balance. This equation is part of an old paradigm whose time is of the past. The releasing process of this week assists you in moving into a new paradigm and a new definition of balance.

“Freedom from Bondage” discusses releasing bonds of limitation, including a brief case study of energetic release.
"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.
“Pluck it for the Bucket” describes a process for releasing toxins from the energy field, such as, old emotional baggage, false beliefs, dysfunctional patterns.

Make this a freeing day!
