Are You Believing Your Thoughts?
According to scientists, we have about 60,000 thoughts a day. Ninety-five percent (95%) of those thoughts are the same ones we had yesterday, and the day before that, and the week before that, and the year before that. What's even more astonishing is that eighty percent (80%) of our thoughts are negative! Having negative thoughts has been proven to lead to depression, fatique, worry, sleeplessness, and anxiety..... all thoughts that lead to contraction. Whereas positive thoughts (the ones we have 20% of the time), lead to a boosted immune system, a sense of peace, an acceptance of what is, and a resiliency to respond to whatever comes at us.... all thoughts that lead to expansion. Regardless of whether our thoughts are positive or negative, they are powerful and they impact us.
A thought that is imbued with the power of emotion produces the feeling that brings it to life. Meaning, what we think is true combined with what we feel in our bodies forms our beliefs about a situation, a person and ourselves. These beliefs not only impact the way we feel about life, but they impact our health and happiness. Recently, Bruce Lipton, a molecular biologist and author of Biology of Belief, has discovered that our thoughts impact and influence our DNA! He states, "it is not our genes but our beliefs that control our lives."
So how do we change our thougths and beliefs? By questioning them.
We have been programed to believe that the thoughts that well up in our heads are true. For many of us, we have been proved wrong. Our thoughts are not always true. We need to check in more frequently and investigate their validity. One profound and easy way to do this is to participate in self-inquiry, a process created by Byron Katie called The Work. The Work consists of asking yourself four questions about your thoughts and beliefs. They are:
- Is it true?
- Can I absolutely know it's true?
- How do I react when I believe this thought?
- Who would I be without this thought?
Then, once you have answered those questions you create a "turnaround" statement that expresses the reverse of your thought or belief. For example:
"He should understand me"
turns around to:
- He shouldn't understand me. (This is reality.)
- I should understand him.
- I should understand myself.
The Work is a profound and simple tool to help us question our thoughts and transform them from causing harm to creating peace within ourselves. For more information on the Work, please visit: www.thework.com.
Below, check out information on the Full Moon tomorrow night and the Featured Awakener. Please call me if you would like additional guidance on how to shift your limiting beliefs or to become more aware of who you really are and what you are truly capable of. I look forward to the opportunity to support you along your journey.
With love & light,
BELIEVE in the possible. CREATE the possible. LIE the possible.

Featured Awakener Linda Radford, Professional Intuitive
 When I am feeling stuck and need help, I often turn to Linda Radford for assistance. Linda is a Professional Intuitive, a channel whereby spiritual guidance can come through to be spoken and heard. Linda serves as a clear conduit for intuitive information that helps people see
their authentic self and realize their natural gifts. She shares whatever
comes through without judgment or alteration. Linda is also able to scan the body's field to see where there are imbalances or stuck energy that is in need of release or transformation. She has helped me release energy that I wasn't even consciously aware of and I felt lighter, freer and more open than ever before, once it left. Working with Linda, remotely or in person, is a compassionate gift I give myself. I am connected to my source and hear the whispers of the Divine through her to me, guiding me along my path and evolution.

Full Moon (May 8-9, 2009)
The full moon that is approaching on Friday night and into Saturday is a profound one. This full moon in Scorpio is considered to be the "death moon", giving us the opportunity to release what no longer serves us and to welcome new thoughts, ideas, beliefs and overall change. Now is the time we will want to reach for what is good and say goodbye to what feels dense, old, and dysfunctional. This Lunation involves new initiatives and the ability to live on multiple levels. This full moon also marks the Wesak Festival, a celebration of the birth, enlightenment and teachings of the Buddha. The teachings of compassion and ways to end suffering are honored, making it the largest spiritual celebration in the world (having nothing to do with religion). According to Robert Wilkinson, "
It is said that the Wesak Festival
is when Buddha, "opens the
treasure chest" and sends out a new global energy of compassion to end
suffering every year. Supposedly when He left the Earth plane, his blessing for
all time was a thought-form of "Buddha Nature," which would renew the
loving-compassion on the Earth whenever it was sent forth. This is the time
when it renews itself for another year." This is a very powerful time to get in step with the full moon energies and release the old while attracting and opening to the new. Know that everything is heightened during this time - your dreams, your intuition, your emotions, your ideas, and your fears. See the Coaching Tip on the left side of this newsletter to harness this powerful time.
** Keep a look out for the Full Moon Circle and Summer Solstice Circle I will be hosting in June!
