Your Weekly Vimala Alphabet

I'll be speaking about one of my passions: organic gardening! --- which I've been doing for decades. When I was four years old my grandmother-the-earth-mother gave me my own patch of earth for a garden. She let me know clearly: "We do not poison God's earth, we bless it with the plants He has given us. We keep away any insects who mistakenly think the plants are for their dinner, by planting our vegetables, berries, and flowers in neighborhoods where they have friends who make these 'bad bugs' feel unwelcome." (These days we call it companion planting.) So easy. So natural. Such fun! I can't wait to share a few tips on Diane's show. Please tune in!

I have been using the Vimala Alphabet for only 40 days! I have just completed the largest order of my life as a corporate gift designer since I closed down the family business in 2004, and I have a purchase order for an even bigger order in hand! I had designed and supplied Jute folders to a famous Indian finance company. Their East India head called me to give me more work and said that my goods had been greatly appreciated by everyone and he has got a very good response from "every zone" in India.

Thank you so very much.

Warmest regards,

After years of study and research, Vimala Rodgers developed The Vimala Alphabet. Each letter shape is designed specifically to bring your hidden talents and abilities to life. As you begin to adopt self-affirming writing patterns, you naturally release those that are self-limiting, and at the same time you reconfigure the neurological patterns in your brain. This process is invaluable for people who are determined to let go of the past and stride ahead fully expressed in life. In scientific circles it is called neuroplasticity or cortical remapping. All it takes is pen and paper

Does it work? You bet it does! --- every time. Pick up your pen and experience it for yourself.

If you are among the courageous visionaries who want to transform their lives through the Vimala Alphabet technology, choose at least 3 letters:

The first letter is the initial of your first name - not nickname, but your real birth first name. If you adopted a new first name after your 35th birthday, use that as your first name. By writing this letter, you will experience profound personal changes.
The second letter is the Letter of the Week.
The third letter is one you have chosen in order to bring about a specific transformation in your life. Choose a letter from the Vimala Alphabet Guidebook.

Follow these steps:

Write at least 3 lines of upper and lowercase letters.
Write on unlined paper in the landscape direction.
No pencils, please. Use a pen.
Begin by writing once, at the top of the page, the Declaration of Intent of the initial of your first name.
Write the first and third letters for at least 40 consecutive days. If you skip a day, start over. 40 is the number of transformation; it takes 40 days for the neurons in the brain to realign themselves, which is what the process of adopting self-affirming handwriting patterns does.

Just as you have gifts unique to who you are, so does each letter. I call them "aspects." I'd like to begin our new venture by sharing one of those aspects, perhaps the most important one of all: the Guardian Protector.

Through the years I've studied hundreds of traditions throughout the world, and have found that within each one, there are such beings that we call called "angels" in English, yet are called by a different name in many traditions: devas in the scriptures of India, Al-Malaikah in the Qur'an of Islam, Malakh in the Hebrew Bible--and on and on throughout the world. To avoid religious distinctions, I call each one a Guardian Protector, because that is their role.

Trust me. They are as alive and attentive as you and I--just invisible, that's all--but fully present nonetheless. Create a conversation with them--then you will know. As with everything I teach, I insist that you do not believe what I say. To know in your heart of hearts that what I say is true, I suggest that you experience it by adopting suggested writing habits, along with applying the aspects of each letter, especially that of the Guardian Protector.

Letter of the Week - Z z

This sweet old letter stands alone, looking back at his alphabetical family with love and appreciation for each letter, and for each quality they represent so beautifully. His attitude is summed up in his

DECLARATION OF INTENT: There are no "shoulds" in my life; I am at peace.

SOUL QUALITY: Perfect contentment

I prefer to call this elegant letter the zed, because it rings with more eloquence that the term zee. Call it what you will. As the Grandfather of the Alphabet, the Letter looks back on his alphabetical family with a deep sigh of gratitude and contentment with one single thought: "It's all unfolding perfectly." Looking around at the world today, this attitude is puzzling to accept---yet when you stand back far enough from it all and look at the big picture, it makes perfect sense. There are no accidents; everything is unfolding in the divine plan; it is not for us to understand, only to change what we see we can, and hand the rest back to God to figure out. The Letter is a scripted example of the well-known Serenity Prayer: "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." It is no accident that in Yiddish, Zayde is "grandfather."

GUARDIAN PROTECTOR: Zacharael ( Zah-kah-ry-EL) --- the angel of surrender

Zacharael enables us to be in the mind, heart, and soul space of knowing that everything in the universe is occurring in perfect timing. If this seems unrealistic on your particular journey, you might want to create a dialogue with Zacharael. If you are sincere, your conversation with him will progress from a monologue to a dialogue. Trust me---these angelic beings are waiting to be acknowledged. As you spill out your concerns to him, and ask not for an understanding of the current situation, but rather for the serenity, courage, and wisdom expressed in the Serenity Prayer, above.

HOW TO INSCRIBE THE MOST
SELF-AFFIRMING LETTER

Uppercase:

From the top of the midzone create an arc as though you were going to inscribe the numeral 3.
Complete that arc slightly above the top of the baseline.
Now dive into the lower zone creating a long, fat loop tending slightly to the left, ending at the baseline.

Lowercase:

Same as the shape of the uppercase, but beginning in the midzone.

Some time ago our Newsletter Angel explained why the lower loops when we write become "high flying" loops in the newsletter. In case you weren't here at the time, let me explain, as simply as I can with my minimal electronic knowledge:

The formatting we use won't allow the loops to 'settle down' where they belong, especially when they
appear on a mobile device...and we know of no other program that will.

If these misplaced loops still bother you, you might want to do this: Practice writing lines of the Letter

(patience), the

Ligature (non-resistance), and the Letter

(gentle acceptance of what is). You might also include a few lines of the initial of your first name, because that one letter holds within it your greatest opportunity for spiritual growth---a curriculum in itself, as it were.

Sursum et pergite! (Upward and onward!)

Founding principles of the
International Institute of Handwriting Studies

Last year, several "Handwriters for Peace" members requested, and we formed, an Alphabetical Prayer Circle through which members could ask for specific prayers in emergency situations and we would hold both those intentions with our own intentions in our prayers.

Because it's time to expand the Circle, I'm inviting you to join us. There is no need to become a Handwriter for Peace, nor do you have to give me your name, only your e-mail address, as I send all Prayer Circle Emails as BCCs. If you choose to join us, please send an e-mail to vimala@vimalarodgers.com with PRAYER CIRCLE in the Subject Box and this message: I'd like to join your Alphabetical Prayer Circle.

To strengthen our intentions, each day we agree to spend a precious 10 seconds once---or many times a day---offering our Alphabetical Healing Prayer:

Fill each of us with Your Healing Light:
those of us in this Prayer Circle,
all those we love,
and all those we have difficulty loving.
Thank You.

Also...In the course of the day, each of us devotes a few minutes of quiet time to write, on unlined paper, one line of the initial of our first name (not nickname) in both upper- and lowercase. Just one line; that's it...more if you care to. Read more online...
