What do you use your mind for?

Do you use your mind to bring you pain or do you use it to bring you joy?

When focusing on what we don't want, not only are we in ego, fearing something that has not happened yet, you are using your mind to create pain for you as well as produce a life of undesired manifestations.

Or you can choose to focus on what you want to create, align yourself with how the creator would think (which remember with God all things are possible) and enjoy your thoughts, which will produce a life of desired manifestations.

It's that simple of a concept.

Think of your thoughts as workers. Are you using your workers to produce things in which you want or things in which you don't want.

You attract that in which you ARE. You ARE what you think about.

Taking the time every day to contemplate and consciously redirect our thoughts to things we wish to create, not only helps us create a life more desirable but it also is more pleasurable in the moment of the thought.

Either way we don't know if either thought is absolutely true. The one in which we desire or the one in which we do not desire. However it makes sense if one of these feels better to think about and also puts us closer to attracting it into our lives, to choose that thought. It makes no sense to choose the thought that makes us miserable and only attracts more in which we do not desire.

It's about making a conscious effort to keep redirecting our thoughts onto which we wish to create. And it helps to remind ourselves that with God anything is possible (as I wrote about in my last blog). Helpful questions to realign our thoughts are, "What would God do?" Or "What would God think?" or "How would God feel?", etc..

Aligning ourselves to the way God thinks... Anything is possible, Focused only on Love and Understanding, Knowing everything is perfect, etc. immediately gives us a more joyful life.

And if you doubt this fact, think about this, "Tomorrow is going to be a very bad day."

How did that make you feel?

Now think, "Tomorrow is going to be a Wonderful day."

Now how did that feel?

The effects are IMMEDIATE. Why would you choose anything different?

I said it was simple, not easy. But sooooo worth the practice!

Think like God thinks.

With God all things are possible.

This is what saves me. This is what pulls me out of ego, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. But what does this really mean.

Well if Anything is possible, then thinking like God thinks would mean there are no reasons why life can't be exactly as we want it. But most of the time it isn't....... So now what?

This is because we don't and I certainly don't think like GOD thinks. I have to remind myself constantly that all things are possible. And still do I truly believe it?

I think that if we thought like God thought every second of every day, we would be happy, anything WOULD be possible, and life would be amazing, amusing, and fun.

If only there was a way to remember this every few seconds. Think like God thinks.

I know if I did I would have more patience while driving. I would smile more. I would have more patience with everyone in my life. I wouldn't feel so frustrated when people made decisions that I disagreed with. I wouldn't feel like I NEEDED to do anything. I would watch everything in life with amazement. I would love without wanting anything from anyone. I wouldn't need anyone or anything to be different than they already are.

Is this too tall of an order to ask of a person living in this physical world playing the game of Life?

Is it possible to think like God thinks? Would it take years of meditating, discipline and practice in order to even come close to living in this manner.

Am I setting myself up to fail by even considering this being possible? Is it possible for you? Is it possible for others?

At times just saying, "Anything is Possible" can completely change my thinking, but at other times I am filled with nothing more than doubt. To think like God thinks would be an absence of all doubt.

Maybe its about finding something powerful enough that works for each one of us individually. I have heard many religious people use the phrase "What would Jesus do?" Which may work for them.

I wonder what would work for me. What do you think would work for you?

"What would love do?", "What would source do?", "What would God do?", "What would Spirit do?".

It would have to be powerful enough to really transform your thoughts in the midst of the dramatic ego controlling your thoughts and actions.

All these words mean the same thing to me (Love, God, Source, Spirit), yet depending on how they are used each one carries a different power.

It would be an accomplishment if I even succeeded at remembering this a few times a day, let alone all day.

Maybe I could actually make this a part of my life and not just another concept I would "like" to adapt but never really come to light.

Instead of focusing on "trying" to make this a part of my life, maybe a better intention is to remind others that, "With God all things are possible, and what would God do" with whatever circumstances they are facing.

It's another practical way to go beyond the ego and come from the place inside us that is Spirit, to come from our hearts, reconnecting us with Source. I guess thats always the intention. I have noticed that when I am coming from my heart (Spirit), I am happy and joyful. When I am in a place that is dominated by ego is when I experience suffering and pain.

It is such a powerful practice to "Think like God thinks" and come from that place within us.

My intention is not only to remember to live from that place myself but to help others do the same.

If you receive a text, an email, a tweet, or even more blogs about this don't be surprised.

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

Negative Feelings Towards Others, People who cause harm, lie, control, and manipulate.

The second half of this can be very powerful should you choose to read it.

I uncovered some very ugly feelings towards some people in my life and around me.

One of them I feel is vital to let go of and move beyond because this person will always be a part of my life.

I am well aware that these feelings which I have formed and housed within myself do not serve me and my intention is to release and heal them.

Many of the feelings I have inside me for other people have a common theme. All these people tend to lie, manipulate, and are not authentic. I do not know who they really are and I am inclined to believe they do not know themselves either.

I have tried going to a place of at least feeling pity for these type of people. Pity would be a step up from the anger and disgust I feel when I think about it.

Let me explain (Bare with me it won't stay negative, It helps to clarify what I am speaking about)

I don't understand why anyone would change who they are and what they say every moment in order to convince, control, or manipulate a situation. I know many many people including myself have resorted to tactics of manipulation. I am not discussing that here. I am speaking of extreme cases. Where these people are doing it 24-7. The type of people who will walk over anyone to get what they want. The type of people who will smile at you and pretend to care but are walking away trying to deceive you in some way and would the second it would benefit them. The type of people that lie so much they don't know what the truth is. They use anything they can to control people and manipulate people to do what they want. They judge people and will not hesitate to harm someone as long as that person has nothing to offer them. In order for these type of people to continue to care or "be nice" to you, you must have something to offer them or something they want from you. They talk badly about everyone in their life to others, everyone is wrong and bad and they will produce stories in order to convince others of this.

I am tempted to use names to describe these people as fake, liars, etc... But I know that these are not who these people are deep down, these are just behaviors. Behaviors I seem to have major issues with, nontheless they are just behaviors.

I can't seem to understand these people. My intention is to love all through their decisions and find only understanding and compassion. This has proved to be a challenge at this point for me. I don't understand why anyone would hurt others. How anyone could be so shut off and selfish that they constantly harm others with only care of themselves. Their love is always conditional, they seem to love but deep inside they have lots of reasons why the person they love is bad and they can't stand them. They will not show this as long as they have something they want from the person they express love for. I don't understand why people would lie and make up stories. I don't understand why most people don't call people on this type of behavior. I am sure most people here know of a person like this and it is so obvious to us who these people have chosen to be and what choices they chose to make. Yet most of us say nothing, we walk away when we love ourselves enough but no one seems to say anything. These people have no idea how obvious their behavior is.

I have several people in my life like this. At one level I am angry and disgusted with people like this. I just don't understand why someone would choose to live their life this way and how someone could treat other people with such disregard and disrespect, even just another human being, let alone someone they "pretend" to care about.

At another level I have found pity. I feel sorry, no one will ever see the true person they are. Can you imagine how lonely that is, not knowing yourself and NO ONE ever REALLY knowing you? I feel so bad that these people feel they need to lie, control, and manipulate in order to feel loved and important. I can't imagine what type of thoughts they have going on inside their minds.

They cause such harm and pain in most peoples lives that they have a role in. Yet it is my only intention to see these people with love and for the people they are deep inside. I must move past my own pain and stories I have within myself that relate to these people in my life. My pain is my own, my story is my own, these people may not ever change yet I have the ability to heal my pain, remove my story and find understanding and compassion for these people and everyone like them.

They are unique expressions of god and are nothing less than beautiful light that have been covered by their limiting thoughts, habits, and actions. Their deep love of who they are is nothing less than the love from anyone else. Their hurtful actions are merely my egos interpretation of what their ego should or should not be doing.

It is only out of their programming that they do what they do. They only want love, they have forgotten that they are love and they don't need to lie, manipulate, control or pretend in order to get love.

I choose to work on seeing these people only from a place of love, compassion and understanding.

Their love does not stop, only the egos idea of expressing the love that they have. Whether they choose harmful actions or not, deep inside that love is the same. They are very disconnected from spirit, but that is who they are, not their ego.

I can choose not to allow these types of people with these behaviors to have a role or impact in my life but I can still choose to love them anyway.

No one is ever doing anything to me, my spirit. It is merely their ego doing it to themselves.

I choose to focus on and strengthen this truth inside myself, inside my perception of these people, inside all that I love, inside everyone I see.

I choose to see the light in all beings, I choose to see past the handicap behavior of the ego, I choose to see love in all, I choose to see god in everyone.

I choose to see that these spirits have such dominating and strong egos who completely hide them, so I choose to have compassion for them and seek to speak and respond only to the spirit inside them, not their ego.

EVERY EGO IS ALWAYS DOING THE BEST IS WAS TAUGHT TO DO. IT IS NEVER PERSONAL.

Unimagined, Enjoy life!

All I can say is I am very impressed, we never know what life is going to hand us. 

Dreams come true everyday.  Honestly its more important to be ready for them. 

We think we want certain things and when they come our way, most of us would have no idea how to receive it or accept it.  Myself included. Bigger things than I could of desired are falling into my lap and I have no idea how to deal with that. <- Imagine that!

I have no idea what the future has in store for me, NONE.  I am scared, excited, anxious and most of all impressed.  

I can say, "EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON."  

One day little by little it just all starts making sense.  Just know that everything you are doing today and I mean everything, has a purpose for the future.  Its all tied together.  

We never know what those things are.  We just never know. 

Stop Worrying, Start living. 

Quick Reality Check:

People you love are going to die, you will lose things you love and are attached to. Kids will grow up and have their own lives.  Friends will move away.  Jobs will be lost. People will fall in love.  Babies (miracles) will be born.  Businesses will be created. Things will come along in your life that you never knew possible.  Opportunities will come out of the sky.  Life will never be what you plan it to be, so stop planning! 

And start enjoying!

Right now my life is SOOOOO unpredictable.  Everything is coming together, yet it all was ripped apart.  How can that be, but trust me, it is!!!!!!!!!!!! It could of never happened the way I imagined the way I desired, nor would I have wanted it to.  I wouldn't trade this in and I couldn't of imagined my life as it is now, EVER.

My new life coaching website.

Well after months of trying to get this together, I have a draft of my site up.   It is not fully functional but it is progress.  

I am excited to watch this evolve.  I did it myself and I had no knowledge of graphic design or web design.  So it is definitely something!

Planning and Living

Nice concept, right? 

Recently my life and my future has been ripped out from the roots or so I thought.   

No matter how much, "It's for the best.", or that I even did it (or did I), Letting go of comfort and of the known is a scary freakin feeling. 

Before me lies a blank piece of paper and I get to write my future on it.  As much as we all think we want it (be careful what you ask for), when you have it, it can be.... very scary to say the least. 

No matter how much planning I have done, no matter how much work, manifesting, asking, praying, controling, wishing, intending, begging, bargaining, pushing, pulling, and forcing I have done, my life is nothing like I antipated.  Today is nothing like I thought it would be,  Not even from a year ago and certaintly not what I was planning for five years ago.  Not one thing in my life is as I thought, wanted, planned, or wished for five years ago.  Nor do I have the same desires for it to be so.  

So why do we push so hard for what we THINK we want in our future.  Because I guarantee it won't happen that and way, and more importantly when the future arrives you won't want what you did now. 

Now lay before me, a blank piece of paper.  This is freedom, I have before me freedom, real freedom and yet I don't know what to do with it. Its scary, its new, its unpredictable.  

When most of us obtain the freedom we seek, we look back and wish we still had out ties.  Because being free is scary, the future unknown.  So we create more ties out of fear, we actually want to be tied down.  As much as fight against it, we want nothing more than to have it even if its unpleasant ones because at least we can see tomorrow.  But that is all false because no matter how many ties, attachments, creations you have today, I guarantee they will not be what you think they will be in a year let alone five. 

Shall I start marking my piece of paper?  Shall I start giving it a direction, that will make me feel secure, that will make me feel like I know.  But I don't....  No matter what color I put on that paper, it will change into another, no matter how hard I try to keep it that color.  Change is inevitable.  So instead of trying to force color on my blank piece of paper, out of fear out of needing some familarity why not allow the paper to stay blank.  Let it color itself in the moment. 

I look back at all the ways I contained myself over the years in order to obtain what I thought I wanted.  Did you know I no longer want that, I want beyond it.  I suppressed my desires, my expressions, my mistakes only in hopes of creating the perfect future that I had painted in my mind.  

I guess what I am saying is I made decisions, said things and done things according to what I thought I wanted in the future.  Except that future never came,  that idea of what I wanted doesn't exist anymore.  Now all those actions where taken in order to create something today where there is no longer a desire for it be created.  

Can you guys understand this?  Do you guys understand how significant this is?  Next time someone tells you to act rationally, say f*ck it.  Life is not predictable.  Sure play it safe.   Stay in a job you hate, because you don't have the time to pursue your true desire, and risk never waking up with a smile on your face excited to go to work.  Stay with a man that is there, because you are scared you won't find anything better and are scared to be alone, why he isn't that bad anyways, and risk never living your life with the person who makes you feel loved and you have passion with every minute of the day.  Tell your kids to be quiet, mold them into perfect well behaved children, because you might look like a bad parent as they burst out screaming with laughter and play in an innappropriate place, and risk suppressing your children from who they truly are and creating a life of pain and misery.  Don't ask that person out, they might say no, and risk them being the ONE who dramatically changes your life.  

"Live boldly."   So much easier said than done.  Or hell do what I did, ask the source for freedom, ask the source to truly live your life with joy and excitement everyday and trust me you will be given nothing more than opportunities to truly be free, you will have no other choice. 

Go ahead play it safe.  I know I sure have.  And when your on your death bed remember how many minutes you lived planning for a future that never came.  

Here is your chance, your chance to truly live.  Because I promise you, 

TOMORROW WILL NOT CONSIST OF WHAT YOU ARE PLANNING IT TO BE. 

Think about today, how many things happened today that you had no clue and you couldn't have predicted would happen. 

I knew I would take my son to school today, I knew I would go to work.  I didn't know what song was going to play on the radio and set my mood for the day.  I didn't know each and every person that was going to walk into my work.  I had no idea that my friend was going to say the things she said to me.  I had no idea the interactions I was going to have,  the emails I was going to receive, the phone calls I was going to get, the news I was going to get.   Are we seriously going to spend our day tomorrow planning for the next day when 99% of what we plan for is not going to happen? 

This is scary, this is exciting, this is freeing, and this is eye opening.  

I am scared sh*tless.  It's time to wake up and start living, at least for me it is.  And to be honest right now I have no other choice.  I have a BLANK piece of paper. 

Take risks, stop playing it safe, stop being cautious.  Start speaking the truth, living the truth and f*ck anyone who doesn't like it (thats said with love).  

IT'S TIME TO LIVE!!!!!!!!!!

Boy what a huge statement to live up to.  I better be careful, the universe is listening. 

I could throw myself a pity party, my life is taking a huge gigantic turn, get mad.  It didn't turn out the way I planned it to.  But do I really want it to?  Or I can get excited about what this means, it means growth, it means new adventures, it means I get to be surprised.  

I have always wanted to have profound pleasant surprises in my life.  You know those wonderful things that happen to you that you could never imagine happening to you and they are so amazing. 

I guess my point is, NOW I have no other option other than to face the fact that I don't know what tomorrow holds for me.  But in this lesson I have learned, we NEVER know what tomorrow holds for us, we only think we do.

I am more grateful than ever before. I am so grateful to be the person I am and to actually be able to be excited about life. I want nothing more than to help other people get to this place as well. 

I have a very unique style as a life coach, I like to say "I will tell you what your best friend is aching to tell you about your life but is too scared to."  You may not always like me but I have a no bull shit, direct approach.  I want to get down to business, I am compassionate but I am not the person that will baby anyone.  I want you to be empowered, I would never ever enable a victim mentality, whether you like it or not.  We all have room for improvement and if you open to it and yearning for more joy, excitement, happiness, whatever it may be, TRUST me it is not far from your reach. 

Los Angeles Life coach:

I would love the pleasure of meeting everyone in person but I feel I am being called beyond the boundaries of just the LA area now.  

So, I am currently in the midst of building a website that will allow me to expand to anyone and everyone who I can touch.  However please do not hesitate to contact me at my gmail address if you have any questions about me or a life coach prior to the site being finished. 

Life Coaching or even Spiritual Coaching is my specialty.  Years ago I never ever in my wildest dreams thought I would be in this place to help others so drastically.  I never thought I could live with such peace in my life and knowing how poweful I am and we all are. 

Life is truly amazing. 

I will also be taking on the journey of writing a book.  The process has already been a blessing, I truly believe we all have a messenge and several books inside each and everyone one of us. 

Believe in yourself and if you don't, make it a priority to get to a place where you do believe in yourself. 

It's time to enjoy your life. 

Whether or not it is time to start my own book?

I have recently manifested a book writing opportunity that seems to be very aligned with who I am.  Since I have been exposed to this opporunity I have been attracting many things that seem to point to it being time to for me to write a book. 

I have some concerns and am not sure if it is my ego trying to take me out or if I am being realistic. 

I have yet to even finish my website.  And my website should take priority and then it could be time to start my first book after it is finished.  

Also the finances to begin the with this opportunity is not A LOT but it is still some and at this time it just doesn't seem "smart".

I am also in the middle the quarter with school.  As of yet this quarter has not been very demanding on me but I would like to make sure I can somewhat keep it that way. 

I also want to be able to give it(publishing a book) the proper amount of attention/focus and right now I have so many things going on.  Although it does seem as if it aligned with where I am at now and where I am headed. 

I know that no one can answer this question for myself but me, I am just voicing my thoughts in hope of some clarity. 

hmmm, is it time?

A huge part of me feels compelled to begin this journey, I just don't want this to become another project and another thing I add to my plate that is not getting the proper attention that is needed. 

I would be self-publishing so the entire process would be up to me, which in some ways may not be such a good thing when I have a full plate already, it may just get lost.  

Also lately I have become extremely aware of my tendencies to loose myself in the internet.  It is never anything "unimportant", I am always researching and gathering information about this or that.  However it is not productive, the time could be used for finishing my website or other things needing my attention.  Yet at the time, these adventures of information seem to be important and never seem like they will consume as much time as they do.  

If I could break myself of this habit/pattern,  It would be VERY possible for me to take on the both projects of my website and writing my first book. 

Love and Light,

Who I really AM!

For the first time I finally experienced what I have known and believed for a while.

I have been on a spiritual path for years now and have educated myself quite well on the subjects of god, human existance, human behavior, sciences, and myself.

If you know me well you have heard me say "We are all one", "Everything happens for a reason", "Everything is Energy", "Where your mind goes energy flows", "We create our reality", etc....

I understood the concepts very well, I even looked to science to back it all up. I embarked on a journey seeking to be the best person I could be and to grow and improve myself as much as possible.

I had heard the concepts that we are whole and complete the way we are, and the answers are within not outside of us and I accepted them but some things can't be fully understood or percieved until you have felt them and experienced them.

Its like reading every book there is on swimming, but never getting in the water. You can explain how the body stays afloat, you can explain the science of the water moving and how it all works. But you don't REALLY know how to swim until you get into the water and SWIM.

I have finally come home. Home to who I am. I do not need to seek ANYTHING. I only need to live from that place inside me that is God/spirit/Love, whatever word can be attached to it.

To truly live in the present moment is to BE LOVE. To know this and to experience it is two COMPLETELY different things.

My life took a turn when I was blessed with this experience.

I again feel inclined to seek. But rather than seeking for answers, I am looking for ways to truly live what I have experienced. I felt who I really am, who we are really are, now living from that place on day to day basis when my life has momemtum and my ego has its roots is going to take some practice.

However its all coming from a different place within me now. I wish I had the words to describe it. Maybe I will. I intend to, as I understand this more and go deeper into it my intentions are to learn how to teach it so others may experience the joy of who they really are.

Immediately after my experience, I operated from such a place of peace where I forgot about myself. I was not disconnected from anyone or anything. I was present in every moment. If you asked me what I wanted to eat in 20 minutes, I didn't know, my immediate reaction was "I'll tell you when I feel hungry." It was beautiful.

I know what I am capable of now, I have felt exactly the way I want to live my entire life. It is so liberating, I had no desires, the moment was PERFECT and everything was so blissful. This lasted for days.

However the knowing that I am whole and complete, that happiness and bliss can be felt no matter what and knowing I am more than I ever imagined, has not left me. It is no longer a "good" concept, it is my truth.

Now living that for the rest of my life and helping others do the same is my intention.

I do not regret seeking outside myself for that is what brought me to the truth.

In summary my only intention is to live in the moment from the love that IS. My quest has taken a significant turn and to most it may not look different but it sure the heck feels different.

For those on a spiritual path I sincerely would love to connect with you. My skype is LOVEGROWTH and my email is LoveGrowth@gmail.com

And for those seeking guidance you may contact me as well.

Drama of life

It's moments like these that I look to dramatically increase.  When I stop to "Smell the roses" to count my blessings.  Yet it can never be on demand.  I cannot demand such pure feelings as so many try to teach.

As days go by I get more and more clear about the meaning of being in the drama of life.  As I wake worrying about the list of todo's and the must have's of the day, the expectation of a lover, the chores of caring for child, the person in my way to get where I am going, the money being spent, the class I must attend, the work I must perform, etc.



OR


To think how today is brighter than yesterday.
How I have more knowledge than before.
My mind is clearer and I am happier than ever
And I am definitely stronger than I have ever been.
Not to mention....
I couldn't have asked for a better lover or could have imagined how close  and strong we would be.
Or the beautiful relationship I have with my son and how its evolving
The new found confidence and love for myself
The wonderful opportunities all coming my way
And How excited I am about my future and MY LIFE.



I guess we all have a choice of how we look at our lives, the task of getting through it or the beauty flowing from it.



I couldn't ask for better people in my life.  It's time to remember how blessed I am, even in the midst of my todo's.


Isn't that what its ultimately about anyways, we will always have todo's but never again will we have today.


A lesson I am sure I will rediscover over and over again.

I intend to remember these blessings instead of getting caught up in the drama of daily activities.  This awareness in it self is a blessing and I am sure will continue to evolve.  I have noticed that it is not something you can just tell someone to do, it must be experienced and felt, but I believe it could be taught.

Unfolding of Life

To expect magnificent but not know how you got there. To know it will get even better and know you couldn't dream up what the universe will produce is scary, exciting, illuminating, and anxious.

How do you explain a feeling of faith yet fear. A feeling of great but not quite there. It's like smelling the cookies bake, knowing they are there but also knowing it is not time to eat them just yet. When will they be ready? It could be five maybe ten..... Who knows, but THEY ARE MINE(I made them and now I can smell them)!

The flowers are blooming and they will be beautiful but OH what colors will they be?


Love and Light, Tiffany

How to live from the heart and be more passionate!

Well I wish at this point I could offer some straight forward solutions, but as I continue to seek this the only thing I can offer is what I have learned and how I plan to continue learning it.


Once I realized my biggest issue was opening my heart and living with passion, I thought the solution would be easy.

Just open your heart, right?

Just live with passion, right?

Not so easy, well at least for me! It hasn't been easy but that in no way has stopped my determination to completely live from love and with passion.

Ask you and you shall receive. It may not come today but I am a living example that it will come. Master your Mind, Master your life and do this with the healing power and healing touch of LOVE!

Well I asked and I received.

First, all my work with Peak Potentials has definitely had an impact on this area in my life. My first event with them, I was one of the people sitting in the chairs, extremely uncomfortable, and not talking to many people. The most recent event I was up and completely engaged the majority of the time, meeting lots of wonderful people. This is due to their style of teaching which is very transformative.

But it all definitely started drastically changing for me after Enlightened Warrior Camp. I went through some major challenges afterwards, that I would have never been able to get through without the inner strength that Warrior really showed me had.

I felt a huge expanse in myself and my love. I gave my mother a hug that was years over due, etc.. So the love part was getting easy, but the passion, well..........

Lets just say I definitely feel it! I am a very passionate person especially when it comes to things revolving myself (example being my growth, personal development, progressive, determined to reach my dreams, etc..)I just don't express any passion I do have towards others, which is a lot(but no ones knows it). In that area I still have a major block.

My boyfriend of three years who is the most non-expressive person I know has been able to look me in the eyes and tell me he loves me with every fiber of his being I was able to feel it and see it.

AND I STILL CAN'T DO THAT!!!!!!!!! It feels weird.

Yet, I see people live this way every single day!

But there is hope!!! And I am going to offer you as much as I can.

First there is a seminar that is geared towards this, which I have not gone yet so I have no reviews of it but after hearing the guy speak and his knowledge and the way he lives and expresses himself (So passionately but a very manly passion, its very attractive), I can say that I know this camp will change a lot of things for me, but what?... We'll just have to wait and see.

First I will offer you the information to his website and camp and then I will try to help immediately with the things I have learned so far.

Here is the main page: Warrior Sage. The camp I believe will be the most beneficial is the "Sex, Passion, and Enlightenment" Camp.

If anyone has already been, please share your experience with me.

Here are some things I have learned, that might help:

First becoming consciously aware of what part of you are you living from at all times, are your thoughts and actions coming from your head or your heart.
Another way of saying this is, "Do you have a fear based perception or a love based perception any given moment?"

I have an alert go off on my phone three times a day that asks me "What your you feeling? What are your thoughts?" This helps tremediously, first it puts me in check of whether I am in fear or love, and then it also helps with keeping my conscious thoughts very powerful (because I am working on retraining my subconscious mind)

Like I have mentioned before you can not be experiencing both fear and love, so in everything you do, you are doing it out of love or fear.

There is a great exercise to help expand your heart, which I also mentioned in my other blogs. Spend five minutes in the morning meditating on sending love to everyone. The secret is sending love, not only to people you love but people who you have difficulties with. The more anger or pain you feel for them, the more healing it is to be able to send them love. Start out where you are comfortable.

Another exercise is to pick one person who has hurt you. Take some time and journal about your experience of the pain, how they hurt you, what you would like to say to them, express EVERYTHING. Then after you have fully allowed your self to experience that, then you go through the experience but from their point of view. Why would they do that, was it them being malicious, were they doing the best they knew how, were they hurt and reacting to it, etc....

Now if you can and only if you can, forgive them and write what you forgive them for. It could be everything or it could be for only parts of it.

This is only for you and you do not ever have to let the other person know.

Remember when you hold on to pain some how we think we are punishing the other person but the only person who is hurting from you holding onto it, is you! Do yourself a favor and work at forgiving those that hurt you.

Even if it takes you hundreds of exercises to do so, it is worth it!

The funny thing that does start happening as you open your heart is you start seeing people differently. You see them clearly and for who they truly are. It's actually quite interesting.

The more you clear your "head" of pain, the clearer it is to see!

One thing I have definitely learned is that its a journey, you can't just pick up a book and now your transformed. But that book may give you one concept that leads you to the next and the next. Seminars and workshops do the same, they are more intense and are also quicker than a book, but it will heal and open up one part of you which will lead you to the next. You will always get out of a seminar, book, exercise, what you need to get it out of it. Its a journey but its a very beautiful experience!

"Life is Change, Growth is Optional, Choose Wisely!"

I will be sure to speak about my experience about the "Sex, Passion, and Enlightenment" Camp. For those who are considering that seminar, I will be attending the February dates in Los Angeles, and would love to share that experience with some of you!

Namaste,
Tiffany

Marianne Williamson Experience and her teachings with A Course in Miracles.

Marianne Williamson teaches from A Course In Miracles.

I was blessed with opportunity to see Marianne Williamson speak, again. She is one of the most passionate speakers I have experienced. She has a light and feel about her that is unexplainable. She lives every moment of her life trying to make a difference.

The course in miracles in a book that teaches love, you can also get Journey through the Workbook of A Course in Miracles
, which is what I recommend, and it has exercises to help you live from a place of love. The healing power of love is unmatchable.

This is what I got from her!

That I am divine glory. We are all divine glory. We are all spiritual energy.

I have the choice of where to live from love or fear. You are always living from one, either love or fear, NEVER BOTH.

The magic is choosing not to give your consciousness over to a fear based perception and letting your mind get mesmerized by your environment (which is unarguable mostly negative information). Remember the power of your mind?

"As the perceiver changes, the perceived is changed."

If you believe you are only a material being then your experience is subjected and only to all the material laws.
If you believe you are only a spiritual being, you live and are subjected to spiritual laws.


Marianne said "If we just spend five minutes a day in the morning meditating on sending love for others and honoring the love/spirit in them, in all people, those we like and those we don't like. Each and everyday we do this our days will unfold in an entirely different way."

Ultimately its learning to live from your heart instead of your head(conditioned mind) and Marianne teaches this through the course of miracles and through love.

I highly recommend her work.

"Awareness and love is my religion."

Can you really use Subconscious Mind Power? How does it work?

"Subconscious Mind Power"

Too good to be true?

I am currently in the middle of a four week home study course by John Kehoe, called "Mind Power". The power of the mind or better the power of the subconscious mind is a passion of mine. I must say I have studied the mind a lot, actually the mind is absolutely intringing to me, it amazes me and I love to learn about it. So when I was introduced to John Kehoe's program, I thought it might just be more of what I already know.

But to make a long story short, T. Harv Eker highly recommended it and I seen John Kehoe himself, eating where I was having lunch one day so I figured the universe was trying to tell me something and thought I would give it a whirl.

And I must tell everyone, this program (If followed and practiced) is absolutely life
changing. I have been in the process of the "Mind Power" program for about two and half weeks now and I am already seeing my world very differently and things are already starting to happen. IT HAS ONLY BEEN TWO WEEKS.

The power of the mind is absolutely incredible. And actually it is the power of your Subconscious mind that has all the magic.

This is my chance to master life! Your subconscious mind power can change your life and it is changing mine.

Here is the book:


Or you can visit his site Learn Mind Power .

I truly believe in this guys expertise and process.

Due to this process I am becoming extremely aware of my thoughts, almost naturally. I am also becoming cautious about what I "feed" my brain. So instead of listening to my regular music preference I decided to listen to some music that would be good for my thoughts and plant positive subconscious "seeds". So I have been listening to a CD that is really starting to trigger my thoughts.

I wake up in the morning with these lyrics in my head. It made me think, if these songs are having that much of an affect on me in just two weeks of listening to it while I am driving in my car, how much of an affect does everything else I listen to and watch have on me.

Anyway, I find myself singing the lyrics which is pretty powerful especially if you are familiar with the power of the subconscious and conscious mind or John Kehoe's work. But the best part is looking into the back seat of my car and my son is singing "I'm getting rich, doing what I love. I'm a money magnet, money, money, money's coming to me!"

It doesn't get any better than that. So I would like to recommend this CD. I also highly highly recommend it.

Hear life from a higher vibration

I must say there is something to sound healing, this CD has turned me on to educate myself and experience sound healing, I will report my findings.

Everything is energy, we can heal through music, light, love, etc.. Master your Mind, Master your Life!

Namaste,

My two cents about complaining and drama!

Complaining and Drama go hand and hand.

When you complain you are caught up the drama and emotion of something. Instead take a step back and observing the event, even if it is oneself, this removes the "drama" of any situation. You can not play the "victim" role (which is complaining) with out "drama".

Observing one's own reaction creates compassion for others. However coming from a previous state of mind when I used to allow myself to experience the "drama" (emotion) of the situation, into a place of observance and awareness creates a different type of compassion ( in which creates some "drama" on another level.)

I am not however free from this experience myself, although my awareness is expansive, I am human and still find myself "pulled" (victim word) into the emotion of experiences.

The ability to step back and watch the emotion unfold and to observe your own reactions, is a life practice.

Complaining is a sure sign to know you or someone else is coming from the "victim" mentality and wrapped up in all the "drama" of it.

It is impossible to take full responsibility for your own life and manifestation and still complain. It is impossible to observe a situation and still feel emotion, because it is our judgments of a situation that create emotion. You can not judge something and just observe it at the same time.

Nevertheless, Emotion is a human attribute meaning you can not fully escape it, it is what we are here for, but does it have control over you, or do you control it?

Ultimately the concepts can be understood in an instant but can take a lifetime to experience fully.

I remain a student.

:o)



Lots of love,
Tiffany

P.S. Today I had a "Tiffy" moment where I became anxious about something, I did not stop myself reacting with emotion however I did observe my reaction, which immediately gave it a different "look". I definitely responded to the situation much differently because of this. I also find that in difficult times, I now prefer to call companions that will not add to the "drama" of the situation but will act as a "rock", when needed. Life will continue to throw curve balls, the outcomes of them however rest solely in our own hands.

(This was my thoughts after reading an article by DialyOm)

The Power of Positive Thinking and Daily Affirmations

Have you noticed that people are already starting to get a sour face when you mention positive thinking?

How did it acquire such a bad reputation so quickly?

My question would be: Has the people that are turning their heads the other way, tried affirmations or positive thinking?

And, Do you think the same person that rolls their eyes at the idea of "positive thinking" is the same person who truly tried "thinking positively"?

Here is what I say.

I challenge anyone to commit to producing you own present powerful affirmations, listen to the them daily, write them daily and think only mostly positive thoughts and see how your perspective of life and your experience of it changes.

You can read some of my other posts, "What are affirmations and why do they work?" and "5 simple ways to make your own powerful affirmations".

Here is the dilemma. It takes practice and retraining of the mind to think positively. It doesn't happen over night.

If you can tell me how to change every single thought I have into a positive wonderful thought over night, tell me how, and I will owe you a fortune.

Until then, training the mind to think positively through affirmations is one of the best ways I have found to truly impact the quality of life.

Hypnotherapy is another way that works but requires some investment as affirmations do not.

The bottom line is that, you have to remove your negative beliefs and not only think positively but in order to "live" authentically positive and attract preferable circumstances to you, you must have and create BELIEFS that are positively aligned with what you want.

If you can reprogram your mind to have positive beliefs about yourself and your life, I personally guarantee it will dramatically change your experiences in life.

Unfortunately there is no over night fix, it takes time and dedication to do this.

But its exciting, and as you start to release negative beliefs and adapt more positive powerful ones you will feel your life changing and beautiful shifts within your perception.

I am personally addicted to reprogramming my beliefs and subconscious mind, the process is inexpressible.

You should try it sometime. ;o)


Namaste,

What are affirmations and why do they work?

I am not a scientist or doctor but I will describe what affirmations are to me!

Take it or leave it.

Through out the years of focusing on personal growth and development, it became evident that no matter how much you worked on some "issues" and how much you focused on it them, you always seem to fall back into old habits.

I know I sure do. And it can be frustrating and confusing.

But why does this happen?

From everything I have studied and experienced here is a short version of what I have learned.

Our minds are built on everything experienced in the past. Our upbringing, childhood, and all other past experiences have built certain beliefs that we operate from daily.
Some of these beliefs can hinder or even prevent us from obtaining things we want today.

Without going into a long drawn out explanation. If you believe you were meant to be fat, or you don't deserve a good partner or life is always hard for you this is what will be true for you.

This is what you will experience, this is what your mind searches for and looks for.

AND IT WILL FIND ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT SUPPORTS THAT BELIEF.

No matter how hard you work at changing your habits or patterns you must change the belief that causes those habits and patterns.

Affirmations can be one way to do that! Yes, this is just one tool you can utilize to transform your beliefs. But it is one of the most powerful tools I have come across.

If you have a belief that life will always be hard. Create a positive affirmation to counter that negative or limiting belief. Such as "Good things come easy to me" "Good things always happen to me", "I love my life", etc...

Think of it as weeds and flowers. Your positive beliefs are flowers and your negative beliefs are weeds. Water (your thoughts, writing, affirmations, etc.) the flowers, not the weeds.

Every time you repeat a positive present affirmation, you care fertilizing that flower.

Here is the problem, every time you think, write, say, anything negative, you are watering that weed!!!!!!

"Watering" the flower makes it stronger!
As the flower becomes stronger than the weed, what info/experiences do you think your mind is looking for and supporting?

So what do you think you will start experiencing?

As you start to change your perception the "weed" will slowly wither away, it will gradually have less and less "water" to keep it alive and will eventually die.

This can be a slow process depending on how deeply ingrained the negative beliefs are. Although some limiting beliefs could be changed rather quickly.

However if you think of every thought, every action of either watering a "weed" or a "flower" you will see change immediately.

And why would you want to spend one more second "watering" a "weed" that makes you feel bad?

Every single time you say, write, or think positive powerful affirmations you are planting "seeds" of empowerment in that area of your life.

Pretty soon those affirmations become automatic beliefs which you will eventually truly believe about yourself and your life.

And remember
"Whatever you believe, is true for you"
"Your thoughts create your reality"


How many years have you spent watering those "weeds" and most of the time automatically?

I think its time to plant some flower then water them, because you deserve to be happy!

Leaving you with this:
"Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."

Present Awareness

Upcoming Birthday(July 28th) and stuff!

I usually get a little weirded out when my birthday is approaching.

Just a couple years back it came in form of depression.

Last year it was in the form of anxiety and questioning myself and what I wanted out of life.

This time, its much different. If this is even birthday related.
Recently I have been very deep (as if thats anything new) but even more. My consciousness is expanding and my awareness of my myself and others has increased dramatically.
I can see when I get wrapped up in the drama of the human mind now, but I am still not to the point where I am able to completely control it though!

I have just been absolutely loving life lately and sometimes I think my thoughts don't know what to do about that!

I am realizing that when I am not feeling my best, I have a tendency to blame it on something outside of me..(e.g. I don't care for my job, my boyfriend and I haven't had a lot of "us" time lately, this didn't work out, that didn't work out, etc...)

But living the truth that I live, I know all too well it all comes from within. It has absolutely nothing to do with anything outside of me.

I am not a victim, I am a creator.

Now finding the beliefs and behaviors that are keeping me in my current place of employment and my current place in any other area I am "stuck" in, is the challenge.

Or maybe the ultimate challenge is just learning to enjoy every second in the now and not worry about anything else!

Not sure but what I do know is I am about to enjoy the rest of my night, if I can settle the "demands" of the mind.


;o)

Namaste,
Tiffany

I went way off subject here but I just needed to "empty my basket". :o)

Believe In Yourself

Embedded Video

Thank you!

Who would of thought?

I have reached what was once thought of being untouchable for myself.

To know I will reach the unbelievable still.

The secret being, turning the disbelief into belief.

If anyone can reach the top I will.

Massive dreams, huge ambition, dedication.

Time to learn to enjoy the journey and bask in the gratitude for which I am today.

Who would of ever thought Tiffany would be who she is today?

Not I. Not much to you but a different world to me.

Enjoy it said "I", but the mind demands more.

The ultimate goal, settle the ego, live from the heart and know I am spirit.

More lessons, more laughter, more love!

Until then An imperfect person who is learning the only true perfection(love).

Namaste,
Tiffany
