Hello !

Practicing Extreme Nothingness - Sounds like an  

oxymoron, I know. But I really wanted to get your attention. Yesterday we talked about getting morsels of information and that we sometimes get impatient. There is a cure for that you know. It's free and easy and it produces mega results.

If you are someone who tries harder, thinks more or moves faster when things aren't going your way when you want them to, then this may come as a surprise for you. The secret to getting huge results lies in doing a LOT less not more.    

For the past several months I have been going through several life changes and my mind wanted to solve them all because that's what minds do. I thought myself into a tizzy and with very little results, and a lot of frustration and fear that I was never going to get out of this stuckness. Sound familiar? Even though I knew the answer, I still tried harder and sneaked in more doing with little or NO results.  

One day I ran out of ideas. None of my efforts worked. I was empty. I am so grateful for the emptiness because all I could do was surrender. It didn't happen as easily as I am saying. There was a lot of resistance and I tried surrendering many times before without any luck... probably because I called it surrender but it was me still trying to run the show.  

Real surrender is very challenging. When you have a bill to pay or a real issue that needs resolving, the likely action is just that, to take action. If that's working for you then that's fine. But for those of us who come up empty time and time again, consider practicing EXTREME NOTHINGNESS.  That means nothing, nada, zilch. Pray, meditate, journal but nothing else. TV is not nothing and games are not nothing. Playing with the dog is not nothing. Nothingness is when you create a space for answers to come. The more nothingness I allow, the more information I am given and the closer I become to my solution. It's miraculous.

If the answers don't come on the first try DON'T GIVE UP.  It's something you want to do more and more, not just once. Giving up on the first try would be like giving up on the first day at the gym because you don't see results. (I know, we've all done that)  

as you can tell I am an advocate for nothingness and you will probably hear much more about it from me in the future. People think I am crazy to spend so much time introspectively but to be honest with you, this is the purest information that is designed just for me. I respect those who helped along the way with their professional support and wisdom. I could not have made it this far without them,but eventually I must follow my own inner guidance system. When I do, it never fails. 

Here's to NOTHING!

Enthusiastically,

Fran
