Tips for a Peaceful Holiday Season

At times the Holiday time period can be fun-filled with parties, parades, family traditions and craft fairs. Other times, it can get quite stressful with buying gifts, getting places on time with mega traffic and unpleasant thoughts of past Holiday seasons.

When things get crazed for me, I do these 4 things that bring myself back into position to be better prepared, poised and peaceful. To continue on with the Holiday Season. If you are having stress, give one or all a try and let me know how it goes in the comment section.

Four Ways to Cope Ahead for Peace during the Holiday Season

Stop binging on TV shows and movies & Turn on Church Sermons to get calm

Personally, I’ve gone to Unity Churches in Chicago, New York and Hawaii. But, I do go to the church for different reasons and lately I’ve been going to St. Clements because I like the Minister and the social events they do.

When it comes to the Holidays, Unity churches know where it’s at to provide you with a Peaceful Holiday Season. My all time favorite video is below. The message is simple yet so hard to remember during the hectic Holiday Season. I listen to this almost daily during December and sometimes around Thanksgiving and also Easter.

It shows you how you can be peaceful in ANY situation. Remember, from past posts: People, Places & Things Can NOT affect your Good Mood. You can ONLY control your OWN Thoughts, Feelings and Behaviors.

Here is Unity minister Justin Epstein Choosing Peace & Joy This Holiday Season…. to elaborate on this theme. In my opinion, no matter what way you reach God, it is worth watching during the Holiday Season.

Nothing is Good or Bad, Only Thinking Makes It So. William Shakespeare

And here is one of my favorite Ministers at the moment from CUT in Chicago. If music and the word help you, this is a great one to check out. Or look for more videos from them on YouTube or Facebook. They work hard preparing & pack a lot of content into one Sunday service. Reverends: McDowell, Wells, Jackie and McGee put an abundance of prep work into their Sunday sermons.

And here is one of their newest videos from December 2024:

Turn off the Outside World and CHANT

If you can, go to a live chanting session. On Ohau, we meet every Tuesday at Church of the Crossroads, if you are ever in town, stop by Tuesdays between 7p-830p. We are a small yet effective group of chanters and I ALWAYS leave more peaceful than prior to arriving. I’ve also been to many interesting and different chanting/Kirtan events in NYC. Just Google Kirtan in your town to see whats happening.

Or if you can’t, find a live Kirtan, turn on Spotify, get a CD or check YouTube for Krishna Das Kirtans and do it with the TV or your blue tooth sound system. I listen to a lot of extra spiritual music and chanting during the holidays as I drive around town. It keeps any possible road rage from attempting to invade my space.

Below is KD’s OM NAMA SHIVAYA, recorded on Maui in 2024. This one song, can elevate your mood and bring peace very quickly to your world. Many of the great sages have said, that Chanting is the Quickest way to reach GOD. And it’s quite easy to do. Give it a try if you can. I can vouch that it works every time I do it.

As you can see, It is my YouTube Channel. My good Friend Peter K recorded it for me as I stayed locked into Chanting. I do not use my phone during a Kirtan/Concert. And by showing you this is my channel, you can see that I DO Practice what I Preach. Or CHANT as I recommend you do too!

Or if you prefer the entire Kirtan/Concert, check out this Video of KD live in NYC 2023.

Exercise to Feel Good this Holiday Season

This should probably be the number one thing you can do for any Holiday Season. Run, Walk, Play Basketball, Swim, Surf, Ski, Do Yoga, Pilates, Ride a Bike, Do whatever you can to get some exercise. The immediate endorphins will INSTANTLY make you feel better and later on you’ll sleep better too. Both of which are great during the year and especially during the Holidays.

Not only will you feel better, but you’ll burn calories. And with all the extra eating one does at parties, while shopping or just nibbling on sugar cookies, your body will thank you for the exercise.

Here is what I do: When I wake up in the morning I don’t even put on shoes, I just start walking from the Window to the Wall. Back and forth for 1 hour. This way, I’m sure to get my exercise in for the day and any extra I do later on is just bonus for my body. This is what works for me. Hopefully, you can do something too. Make sure it’s fun to do too. When I walk I listen to upbeat tunes on Spotify like Bob Sinclar, Madonna or Audio Bullys. This helps the walk go by easier and many times quicker, which is great for my Heart.

Breathe Work/Meditation for Peace

The word Meditation sounds daunting to some, thus the added Breathe work in the Heading. The reason I put this in is because just 2 Minutes of breathing will calm you. Here is the simplest and a very effective thing to do: Set your clock for two minutes, close your eyes and deeply breath in ONE, let out ONE. Then breath in TWO and let out TWO slowly. Do this from ONE to TEN. If you still have time, start another round. Guaranteed, you will feel better, calmer and more peaceful from this simple technique. And it only takes 2 minutes. It’s a mindfulness technique I learned at DBT class in 2024.

I also recommend Box/Square Breathing. Picture a box in your brain, breath in for 4 seconds, going up the square. Hold for 4 seconds going across the box, then close the box with a giant 8 second out breath, going down and back to where you started. It’s upon the out breath that the relaxation happens, thus make sure your out breath is longer than your in breath. Feel free tweak this technique up or down in seconds depending on your fitness level.

And third, turn on a guided meditation on YouTube. There are so many to choose from. Do 5-10 minutes to start and build up to 20-30 minutes. All three of these techniques are 100% guaranteed to bring you Peace. If it doesn’t work on your first try, do it again and maybe again, until you feel calm.

Have a Positive, Pleasant, Peaceful Holiday!

Spiritual Story Sunday Sermon

Elisha, The Widow & Prosperity for You

Photo by Mareefe on Pexels.com

Today, we delve into the story about Elisha, The Widow and how metaphysically this story can assist YOU with your own increased prosperity.

First, I will tell the story, then I will tell you at least two ways that you can take take the story and turn it into a more Prosperous life.

THE STORY:

Elisha was a prophet of God, who traversed the lands assisting those in need.

One day, when Elisha passed through a town, he saw a woman with two sons. Please, sir, the woman said, I am a widow. When my husband was alive, he borrowed money from a friend. He thought that he could work and pay the man back. But then unexpectedly my husband died. And I was left with his debt and I don’t have any money to pay him back.

She said she was all out of money and only had a house, her two sons and a tiny bit of Olive oil. If I do not pay back the money I owe, the man who lent the $$ to my husband will take my sons away to be his slaves. I can not let this happen to them. Could you please help me?

Elisha came up with an idea and told her to send her two sons out in to the hood and borrow as many EMPTY jars as they could from as many neighbors and friends they could find that day.

The sons did as Elisha and their mother asked and went out and acquired many, many empty jars. The Neighbors were all very friendly and accommodating, hoping to help the two sons from slavery.

Next, Elisha told the woman and the sons to go inside the house with ALL the empty jars. Take the little bit of Olive Oil you do have and fill the first jar. Then fill the second and continue until all of the vessels are filled.

The Widow looked at Elisha like What the … But knowing he was a smart man, she did as he ask. Low and behold, she filled one jar than another & another & another. Miraculously her small jar of Olive Oil continued to fill multiple jars over and over again. Soon her home was filled with full jars of the precious Olive oil.

Elisha told her to take all of the oil and go out and about and sell it all. She did as he said and had enough money to buy off her debt and money left over for delicious foods and rent money for many months. And even better news, her two sons would not become slaves of the man they had owed the money.

Elisha and God/Spirit/The Divine Entity blessed this family with a great idea, which turned into prosperity and a beloved blessing upon this Happy family.

THE METAPHYSICAL INFORMATION WE GAIN FROM THIS STORY:

This information comes from many years attending Unity Church in person, CUT Temple online services and over 22+ classes from Unity Church & CUT Temple Chicago. And my own Metaphysical interpretation of the story. I hope it helps you find increased Prosperity in YOUR life.

NUMBER ONE: LOOK INTO YOUR OWN ABODE FOR THINGS TO SELL OR DONATE

Some days when you think you may are out of money or lack the wealth to pay your bills. You can easily be mistaken by this false claim. The easiest thing you can do, is to look into your own home and find things that you can sell to make money. Almost everyone has something they haven’t used in years or has hidden away in a spare bedroom.

Filling up the Empty Olive oil jars with full jars of Oil is just like going through your home and finding things to sell. Clothing, kicks, spare appliances, maybe you’ll even find a rare Pokemon or Michael Jordan card. Yesterday I was trying to find a record to play on my radio show and inside of one of the records was a PRISTINE sheet of the World Champion Chicago Bulls limited Edition card set from Jewel/Osco. I didn’t sell it, but could have easily made a couple hund’ I gave it away to my Friend G because I knew he would enjoy it being a stead fast massive fan of the Chicago Bulls. And during the pandemic he blessed me with food when I was almost dying of having no food to eat.

Which segues to the other reason to look around your home for things. Find things and give them away. YES, give them away, donate, give to your neighbors, friends, strangers or just leave on the street corner. As the LAW states: The More you Give the More you Receive! Thus providing you with even more prosperity.

See when you get rid of things and de-clutter, either by selling or donating it, it leaves space in your home for new things to arrive. Like more money, better Karma and even New people who may become great friends or lovers.

Look into your own abode and find items to sell or donate. You will be delightfully surprised what you find and what happens to you next!

NUMBER TWO: LOOK WITHIN YOUR OWN MIND FOR IDEAS ON HOW YOU CAN IMPROVE YOUR PROSPERITY

The widow may have lost her sons to slavery if it wasn’t for Elisha’s wisdom and his communion with his God within, that brought him to the IDEA he gave to the widow. To go out and get vessels to fill with the vastly treasured Olive oil and sell to make money for the debt collector.

Note: Olive oil is loved today for it’s healthy cooking abilities. Back in the day it was even more valuable and used for medicine, fuel, perfumes, soap, anointing & of course, cooking.

Look within your own mind and come up with IDEAS on how you can become more prosperous. This isn’t just for money, a truly prosperous person has Wealth, Health and Happiness. Whatever it is you are lacking go within and think of ways you can increase your prosperous living.

Going into the silence and Listening to a guided mediation on Prosperity on YouTube is a great start. Or just doing a simple meditation will help. the easiest meditation I do is this: I set my clock for just two minutes. I close my eyes and breathe in slowly and think ONE, breathe out slowly ONE, then continue to TEN. If I hit TEN before two minutes is up, I start at ONE and go to TEN Again. Simple yes, effective yes. Prosperous yes, because it calms me, centers me, helps me feel happier instantly and in turn when I see others I smile more at them and am much more friendly during my day. Way better than leaving the house stressed out and pissed off because I forgot to eat or exercise that morning. It works if you work it. And like attracts like. Smile at strangers at Whole Foods, be likeable and you will receive this in return.

Another way to think of ideas to increase your prosperity in Wealth, Health and Happiness is to brainstorm. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Get a pen and paper out, or your computer/iPad and write or type.

Write or type as many ideas as you can think of in ten minutes. Remember there is never a bad idea when brainstorming. The more the merrier. Write or type everything that comes to mind. Then look at your list and pick one and do it. Don’t just read it, Do it. Action is extremely important when it comes to ideas. Many of us have great ideas, but not enough ACTION TO MAKE THEM A REALITY. Take action Now, not later today or tomorrow, do it now in the moment. My rule has always been shoot the arrow then aim the arrow later on. It’s better to start an idea then think of the plan and then end up doing nothing. You don’t have to do it all at once, but do TAKE ACTION now on your great IDEAS.

CONCLUSION

The story about the Olive oil, can help you remember that no matter how bad things may seem. There ALWAYS is a WAY to a better more prosperous life. No matter the outside circumstance, You will prosper, you will live in Peace, Love and Happiness. How bout choosing that time to be TODAY! I wish you the best of luck and hope you have a wonderful day today and life going forward. Remember the past is done, the future has not happened yet, the present moment is here now, take advantage of it and take action for a better more prosperous life. Next time you cook with a tad of Extra Virgin Olive oil remember the story and the metaphysical meanings and create your best life. Don’t worry, be Happy!

Have a Positive, Pleasant, Peaceful Day!

Peace Always

Photo by F T on Pexels.com

When I feel out of my own peaceful mind, I figure out what incident is causing this. Then I realize it is such a small portion of my life, it will not enter my home inside my brain. And I keep my inner home filled with Peace, Love and Happiness.

And remind myself that: People, Places and Things can not enter my own mind unless I allow them to do so. I keep my thoughts Peaceful, Calm, Serene, Happy, and Positive.

If this doesn’t work, I can easily:

  • Eat food (Many times it’s because I didn’t eat all day)
  • Exercise
  • Meditate
  • Count from 100 by Sevens to Ground myself
  • Walk in nature/Get outside
  • Watch a Spiritual video on YouTube
  • Read a Spiritual Book

It may seem challenging to keep things out of your brain, which it is and no human being is perfect. You may have thought that others affect your mood for many, many years. Thus, it will take some work. But remember that you are the only person who can let things into your own brain. You control your inner home, If there is something there you don’t like, kick it out or Don’t let it in at all.

And what is the conflict/resentment/situation/person you are worried about. Call it out and cut it out like scissors thru paper. Try not to keep bad thoughts in your brain…the cause was just a tiny blip of time and you do not need to let bad things into your inner home.

Let Go and Let’s Change

GLORY STORY

Pete & The Parrot

Photo by Zepps Project on Pexels.com

Back in the day, a hunter named Pete traveled into the depths of the jungle in search of food. During the last week of his trip, Pete would search for a special creature and take it home alive to keep as a new pet

During one of his trips, he found an exquisite green, blue & yellow parrot. He took his new found pet home and taught her to talk

The pristine parrot was enjoying her life, learning English, French and Hindi. But she did miss being free to enjoy the freedom & outdoor splendor of the jungle

After a couple years, when Pete was ready to return to the jungle, the parrot asked him if he could let the other birds in the forest know that he was doing well and eating some interesting yet tasty food

Pete gathered his gear and set off on his yearly expedition into the jungle to get some food for the winter and hopefully find another new pet for his menagerie

While there, he told the birds that the parrot was doing quite well, a black bird heard this and fell from a low branch and landed with a thud, Pete thought figured the bird was dead, he then moved on to find the jungle animals.. He found a small tiger and took him home for his newest pet

Pete used his machete to get out of the jungle with his new pet and a load of food including new found game meat, fruits, nuts and vegetables

When he got home, he put the tiger in a cage, the meat in the freezer and the fruits and veggies in the fridge and along the window areas of his home. Pete had a delicious supper, then went and let the parrot know that he told the birds she was ok and then a black bird dropped dead directly in front of him. The beautiful parrot immediately collapsed dead inside of its locked cage

The yearly hunter broke down and cried and took his pet parrot out of its cage. Upon being released the parrot sprang back up and flew away back to the jungle. Come to find out the black bird had played a trick on Pete by faking his death. The Parrot being as smart as he was figured this out and faked her own death to escape the confines of the locked cage.

The Takeaways from the Story include:

  • If your intuition sees, feels or hears something important yet challenging, consider listening to the sign and doing what it tells you to do. The bird felt that the black bird sent her a sign, she did not dwell on the idea, she just did it and it worked for her. Even if it doesn’t work perfectly, you can always look for another sign and try that. The main thing is to do the action, don’t just think about doing it
  • You may need to kill the life you live now to live a better life tomorrow
  • Search for clues that can improve your day no matter where they may be
  • People and animals are not born to be locked up in a cage. A real cage or a mental cage, it doesn’t matter, you have free will. Use it and move on to a better life. Yes, there is better out there. You just need to take action to find it.
  • If you are in a bad job, relationship or addiction to drugs, alcohol or food that no longer serves you or gives you joy. You may want to quit/move on/get some help to get yourself out of the cage you are locked in.
  • Figure out a way to get out of your cage and live a more Wonderful life. Take charge, do the action steps, challenge yourself, have fun and if you see the sign more than 3x, you know you need to do it, it’s telling you something and that is for sure!

Tomorrow, when you wake up, jump out of bed, feel the joy and be grateful that you are alive on this planet. Not every being gets to be a human being. And not everyone will wake up tomorrow. You will and you will have a great day! -Huna Das-

Have a Positive, Pleasant, Peaceful Day!

Attitude of Karmatude

Story: The Boy and the Monk

Goal: Good Karma

There was a very wise Monk who lived in a secluded monastery in a large cave along Mount Kailash near Tibet. He was very smart and had been meditating daily, teaching and doing good works since he was a young boy. He became so powerful that he was able to take a look at someone and see their future in less than 2-3 minutes.

This Monk had a young disciple aged 8. He was a great person, doing everything that was expected of him during his studies at the Monastery. One day when the boy came to see the Master Monk, the monk saw his future instantly and it was not good. He saw him dying in 6 months. So, the Monk, thinking it best that the boy die surrounded by family, said to the young boy: Go home tomorrow and visit your family, this is what you must do.

The boy needed to travel quite a long way to get home, and home he went. With a slight detour…

One day when the master Monk was sweeping the front entrance to the famed monastery, his eyes widened and who did he see? It was the boy returning to the Monastery just after 5 months had gone by.

The Monk was astonished to see him, the boys eyes glistening with Joy, Love, Peace and most importantly LIFE! The monk read him right away and saw that he would live to be 101 years old. Wow! thought the Master Monk, what has occurred here?

So he asked the young boy: So tell me what have you been doing the last 5 months? The Boy replied that on the way home to visit his family a monstrous storm occurred and brought much water to the land. The boy found himself standing along the shore, looking out on to a small island that had formed around the staggering waves from the storm.

The boy noticed a large colony of ants, stranded on this island in the middle of the raging waters. The boy told the Master Monk that he grabbed a vast amount of twigs and twisted them together to form a bridge between the land and the island with the immense amount of ants on it.

The boy stayed in the pouring rain until every single ant was guided to safety with his make-shift bridge. To say the least, it was quite a large quantity of ants and took days to get them all to safety. The boy then continued his travels to his family. Stayed 140 days, then returned to the Monastery. The Karma from saving the ants gave the boy over 100 more years to live his life in peace, love, and happiness. All from doing good for other sentient beings, producing an overflowing amount of Great Karma for the boy.

The Master Monk and the boy continued their lives at the monastery accomplishing many good deeds including taking care of ailing neighbors bringing them good health with their secret medicinal herbs and dynamic healing thoughts. The Monastery never went hungry and is still thriving in 2023.

God First, Good comes Next

Photo by Skitterphoto on Pexels.com

During my latest class at CUT with Reverend Dr. Jacqueline Triche Atkins, I learned an immense amount of knowledge. It was like taking a graduate class on Spirituality and brain growth. We studied Living an Inspired Life by Wayne Dyer. There was a lot of great information in this book and most of us read the book 2-3x. There was So much good in this book.

The Biggest takeaway I took from the class and the book is Seek first the Kingdom of God and your life will work so much better. Here is the quote from the Bible and my metaphysical interpretation is below this:

BUT SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED TO YOU. Matthew 6:33

Ok, to start, this may be a bit different than some writings on other spiritual websites. This is totally my interpretation on what this all means without notes, without looking on the internet, it’s all from my brain, my spiritual education and my experience. It may sound different than some, but it is worth reading. And could be helpful for your day/week.

I will relate this to my day job: I work in media sales and there are days that include many rejections and other days with big wins. Just the other day I pitched 22 XYZ packages and didn’t sell any. To say the least my mind could have gone the wrong way from right.

If I took the 22 rejections and continued my day or even my week being bummed, stressed and generally in a sad mood. That would not have worked in my favor for good health or to sell other custom deals and meet new people/prospects. This is when I really needed to dig deep and remember my spiritual teachings. This is where seeking God first is the way to go.

Here’s the juicy main point of today’s teaching: When one seeks God first they will see the Good, because God is Good, When? All the time! This will help you realize that “It’s all Good, there is only God, and wherever you are God is and all is Good” Things may seem sad, but look for the Good and ye shall find it, I promise, it is there!

Seeking God first can also mean to take a step back from what you may feel the real world is putting upon you and taking a moment to meditate, chant, go on a walk around the block or in nature or read some positive information like a Wayne Dyer book, the Bible, or the Bhagavad-gita. You could also turn on YouTube and watch a Sister Shivani video. She teaches some great information about Not letting people, places or things around you affect your Good mood. Only you control your inner Peace. You can not control others, but you can control your own thoughts anytime even when you don’t sell enough packages to make quota.

Here is a real life reason and the way I am able to relate to seeking God first. If you have something you think goes wrong today, someone calls you ugly or a loved one gets hurt. Seek God first and do some of things listed above or change your mood to Happy and not Sad. You and I can both do it. Yes, it is hard especially in the moment of sadness/rejection/fear, but it is possible.

When something in the outside world affects your inner peace, remember to seek God first. God thoughts, Good thoughts, Find the positive in the situation and get out of your sad mood and change it to happy. I realized this after I didn’t sell any of my 22 packages. For about 10 minutes, I felt bad, bummed out, sad, and had a sour face on. But, what good would that do when I call another customer or even request a cafe order? It will do no Good. There’s a much better chance I can sell the 23rd package or order a coffee easily in a Good/God mood instead of a bummed out sad face/vibe.

And do you know how hard it is to order a Starbucks coffee on a good day, try doing it when you are not seeking God first and are attempting to get coffee mad, sad or depressed. It will most likely taste funny or you will get a confused look from the barista. I know from the times I forget to put God first and act as I think I feel sad and bad and not Good.

Seek God first when things feel bad. It won’t always come naturally or be easy to do, but once you are able to do it, you will enjoy your life much better, I guarantee it.

Instead of Ah em… ah ..can I have a, have a… uhm, medium, one of those…uhm, coffees without too much caffeine, with ice that has some of that fake milk, I think it’s…uhm. aah…almond milk. You will request your coffee like this: I’ll have an Iced Venti Half Caff Almond Latte Please. You will get the correct coffee easily and at the same time, you will make the barista happy for asking for it the best way..or let’s even say … The Kingdom of God Way!

Best wishes to you this month, whichever month you read this. Make it the best month of the year for you and all of those around you.

Have a Positive, Pleasant, Peaceful Day!

The 2 Worlds

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com

There are 2 worlds out there. You get to choose which world you are in at all times.

There is the world of appearance in which you may think you are being verbally attacked, you think someone has rocked your world so bad you want to fight, or simply a world where your mind believes everything you see.

Then there is the Secondary World, some call it Christ Consciousness, I just like to call it the Secondary world. In this world, there is only Peace, Love and Happiness. Nothing else exists, although you can include Joy, Wisdom, Happiness, Prosperity and Health.

To be in the Secondary world, you need to watch and train your thoughts. Remember, no one or nothing can make you feel bad. You are in control of your thoughts and emotions at all times.

You can think yourself well or you can think yourself ill

In the world we live in 2022, it can be challenging to stay in the secondary world. You may see road rage, being berated by the boss, or just feel over worked and stressed out.

Lack of sleep, lack of food and lack of spirituality in your life can easily put you in the world of appearance. By sleeping enough, eating fresh fruits, veggies and lean proteins, exercising and doing some work on yourself will put you back into the Secondary world.

I can not tell you that I live in the secondary world at all times, I slip up especially when I drink too much caffeine, watch Netflix until 3am and go to work at 9a and when I don’t do any physical exercise.

Here are some things you can do to stay in the Secondary world MORE than the world of appearance. Even 5-10% more into the Secondary world will help your life to improve for the better. Pick one or more and try them out. And always remember that No One or Nothing can make you feel bad. You are in control of how you feel at all times, even if someone dies, you can still stay in your Power. Think of all the great memories, the time you did spend with that person, all the happy moments. Be Glad not Sad. And as the song says, Don’t worry Be Happy!

TIPS FOR THE SECONDARY WORLD

  • Take a walk: Even for 10-15 minutes. If you can, take a walk outside in nature, but a stroll back and forth in your condo/house will do the trick
  • Eat Breakfast: If you drink coffee like me. You may not be hungry. Eggs are quick and easy. Even an Apple will help. Piece of whole wheat toast is also a quick and easy option to help soak up the caffeine. My doc says to have some source of protein and a bit of carbs. In 2022 Protein seems to be very important.
  • Meditate: Take 5 minutes out of your day and just breathe. I like the square box breathing method. Close your outer eyes and Breathe in 4 seconds, hold for 6 seconds and breathe out s l o w l y for 8 seconds. It is on the out breath that your body will relax. If it’s hard to sit still all alone, try a YouTube video or use the CALM app. If I can’t get right on the square box breathing, I go straight to the Panic SOS meditation on the CALM app. Just 4 minutes does wonders for your secondary world.
  • Use Affirmations: When appearances seem to be going off the wrong road. It’s good to have some pre-made affirmations in your pocket. Pull them out and read them over and over for the next 5 minutes and throughout the day. Or you can have your favorite affirmation memorized so when the boss yells at you, just repeat in your mind, your favorite affirmation over and over as the appearance fades into the secondary world. Affirmations can also be called Affirmative Prayer. Keep your mind on the Good and the Positive. I use this memorized affirmation: I am Happy, I am 100% Healthy, I am Peaceful and Prosperous, I am in my Power.. Right Now.
  • Watch Eric Butterworth’s You Always Have a Choice on YouTube. He will remind you that no one or nothing can affect your happiness and Secondary World.
  • Hobby It: You know, it took me a long time to realize that doing a hobby can be just as good for you and affect the same chemicals in your brain as mediation does and its fun to do! I like to check out and make collages, paint, play basketball, swim, surf, write various blogs and make clothes. Getting lost in a hobby is a great way to get you into the Secondary World.
  • Shop: I may get some flack for this one. But one of my favorite ways to space out, feel calm and tune in, is to shop for clothes and shoes at real stores. My perfect day would be a nice breakfast, some cardio, then jumping in a cab and going to Soho in NYC to shop. I like to touch and feel the fabrics and take pictures of the fashions on the street. And of course buy some nice shoes, shirts or pants. Retail therapy does work. But, be careful so it doesn’t get out of hand. Pro Tip: Use Cash Only.
  • Pray: You can do morning mid day and nightly prepared prayers. Or just thinking good thoughts all day is also another way to pray. Think of all the good in the world, all day throughout your day.
  • Help others: Help out at the soup kitchen, Usher at Church, donate your time at a non-profit. I like to randomly put shoes and clothes by my local basketball court (Cartwright Park) for others to stumble upon to lighten up their day with a big smile.
  • Read: Settle in and read some good spiritual books like Fear Not, Think and Grow Rich, Discover the Power within You, the Bible, Lessons in Truth, the Power of Now, the Revealing Word, I of the Storm, the Teachings of Buddha, Psycho-cybernetics, Mind-the Master Power, and When everything changes, change everything. Just 10 minutes of enriching reading per day will change your life.
  • Practice Gratitude: Every morning when you wake up write down 10 things you are grateful for. Then before you go to bed write down another 10 things your are grateful for. Write them down, then read them out loud. It’s hard to be in the appearance world when you are grateful you will easily flow into the Secondary World…Pretty immediately.

21 Days to a New You

Refrain from Complaining in your Membrane

We tend to give you something to do, today we are giving you something not to do. Do NOT Complain…ever. Whatever you may think is going on around you, do not complain about it. High Gas prices, covid, unhealthy body parts, lack of Money. They are all illusions. God is large and in charge and always available to you.

Complaining will do nothing for you! Spirit will only hear complaining and negativity and will give you more to complain about. Spirit needs to hear God talk, Powerful positive conversations, Loving compassion, Praise of yourself and others.

Complaining brings more to complain about

Love brings more Love

Joy brings more Joy

Happiness brings more Happiness

You get it, think of great awesomeness and get the correct rewards. Complain or be negative and the universe will bring you more of that! Think of what you would like to receive and think it all day long. What kinds of things you think and say will come your way

Where Attention Goes, Power Flows

Now, you can address an issue. This is different than complaining. This would be like telling the waiter that your steak isn’t cooked enough, Can you please cook it up some more? This does not mean going off on how the restaurant isn’t as good as it once was, how the Chefs were better before, it’s too Hot in here, prices are so high. Actually its bad for me to even write these things that are negative. I need to protect my own consciousness as I teach today’s tips for better success in life. Don’t complain or be negative, but it is ok to address an issue. You are not a door mat when you are practicing spiritual laws

You could say something like this: Please cook my steak some more, your earrings are beautiful, have a nice evening. This is a lot better way to get things done than to complain. You can address a problem, go to the source to fix it or come up with your own idea on how to fix it. Complaining will not get you results you are looking for like solution finding will

EXERCISE:

Put a stretchy bracelet or a rubber band on your wrist. Try to go 21 days without complaining, criticizing or condemning. If you do one of these 3 things, SNAP your wrist band (OUCH!) For every bad C you do, you get punished and reminded that complaining brings pain and unhappiness. Your goal is to bring Excitement, Happiness, Peace and Joy to the Party!

If you bump into a complaint party at the “water cooler” Either leave immediately or give words of encouragement, praise or positivity. Remember as Eric Butterworth taught us we ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE! Today’s choice is to choose Happiness, Peace, Prosperity, Wisdom and Joy. No complaining is allowed. Do not even do it a little bit. There is zero tolerance on complaining for the next 21 days, then you can decide what to do for the next 21 days.

Best wishes on your next 21 days to a more successful Life. I wish you Blessings Today and many more on the way!

Praise your way to a higher Frequency

Some days you may be in a bigger hurry than others, you may forget to pray or meditate. If you need an quick and easy fix, just read Philippians 4:8. Read it 5 times and immediately change your state of being.

feel old, if you think and say great thoughts, you will have an awesome day. Today, I had a stomach ache, so I concentrated very hard on Healthy, healing, uplifting thoughts and in doing so, I ran into Philippians 4:8 three times. First: I read it on my fridge door Second: I heard it in my spiritual class Third: It showed up on my bedtime YouTube Video. Seeing it so many times today, I decided to share it with you. Hope it helps with your situation. It’s a classic, yet still quick and effective way to praise your way to the top of the mountain

The following is Philippians Chapter 4 Verse 8 (4:8) AKA The Main Letter from the Apostle Paul

FINALLY BELOVED, WHATEVER IS TRUE, WHATEVER IS HONORABLE, WHATEVER IS JUST, WHATEVER IS PURE, WHATEVER IS PLEASING, WHATEVER IS COMMENDABLE. IF THERE IS ANY EXCELLENCE AND IF THERE IS ANYTHING WORTH PRAISE, THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS!

Read this daily or when you are in a crunch. Keep it on your wall, in your phone, near your car’s steering wheel. Use it, review it, and praise your way to a higher frequency

Give and You shall Receive

Bible Verse: I pray that out of his Glorious Riches he may strengthen you with Power through his spirit in your inner being. Ephesians 3:16

Affirmation: The Power of God flows through every cell in my body. Today, I am prosperous+powerful, strengthened by God filled with over flowing Abundance

Metaphysical interpretation/The teaching:

Awaken this morning Knowing that you are Prosperous and Abundant. Prosperity, Joy, Peace, and Happiness is always available to you, no matter what may seem to be happening around you. You are in charge of your own thoughts and reality. So make your world Prosperous, Joyful, Peaceful and Happy

To increase your abundance. Give something to someone or many ones today. Be it cash money, some AJ1’s from your back closet, or pay the food for the person behind you in line at the Grocery store.

If you don’t have a physical donation to give or money in your pocket. Give blessings and good wishes to all that you meet and greet throughout your day. You could say in your mind. You are Blessed and Prosperous today, I am Blessed and Prosperous today. Say this in your mind to everyone you meet today and see the rewards.

Remember, its not just the words that come out of your mouth that radiate vibrations. Your thoughts will radiate light + love sending a higher (or lower) Vibration into the world. Watch your thoughts, whatch your talking, If they are of lack ore negativity…Stop those thoughts now and change to positive prosperous thoughts

Today’s the day to give cash money, donations of food, clothes or kicks. Or send Good blessings to all you meet. Give and ye Shall receive. This is the Law of Giving and Receiving. Since it’s labeled a law it will manifest and it becomes your reality

Do not fret or worry, remember worry is a negative form of prayer. Stay Strong, Prosperous and Happy. God is within you all the time and with God all things are possible.
