Living with Great Imagination

Instead of starting this off by telling old stories or even a recent "old story," I am sharing this movie clip that pretty well sums up an aspect of myself that has gotten me into trouble ("A brief shining moment ... and then that mouth." Though it's usually by email)...  A brief shining moment, and then that mouth The thing is, I am attached to this identity. I love this about me the way I love it about this movie character. I am still growing in mindfulness and my communications but I've been thinking, what if instead of revising so much of what I slipped in an email (okay, I will just share my once in a blue moon slip up happened and I said some harsh--albeit truthful--things in an email to a private school I was frustrated with, that I did an imaginal revision scene, so in my last email I acted as if I'd not sent the earlier one and reframed it, but I still haven't changed the story about the school; my feelings haven't changed as they respon...

I manifested a dead lightbulb to turn back on... and it's still working months later  This is one of my first manifestations using imaginal acts & the Law of Assumption.  It was snowing. ❄ ☃️ ⛄ ❄ I had gotten my kids ready but couldn't find my snow boots. The light in my closet died & wouldn't turn back on. I flipped the switch up and down but it was out. Instead of cussing or getting angry, I decided to practice what I was learning. I went deep into my heart space and for a moment imagined I was married and that my amazing husband loved doing handy stuff that I was tired of doing. I imagined he changed the light bulb for me and that I was just so moved by it, so appreciative, even to the point of bragging about that man of mine who did such sweet things for me, always changing bulbs and taking care of things like that. I imagined the bulb back on and just really felt the appreciation deeply. I couldn't see my boots in the dark and my kids were waiti...

  I. BEFORE YOU GET STARTED: A. What you need first: 1.  Cards.  Choose a deck of cards & get familiar with them visually. Examine them so you know what they each look like.  2.  Understand everything in your Awareness reflects.  Have (or begin to cultivate) an understanding of Awareness that Joseph talks about. Remember that, "everything you experience has a source that exists within your consciousness. Everything you experience is there because it exists within your mind... If you then change your mind, you're changing the contents of what Awareness is aware of and therefore that will be pushed out onto the screen of space." Joseph Alai, ij his YouTube video, "I AM = MC2 (Squared)  You Are God..."starting at ~9:15  https://youtu.be/J5FCXX1mntw  3.  Understand/begin to understand Law of Assumption (Neville Goddard) core concepts such as EIYPO, Self-concept (I Am), assuming states, no one to change but self, the 3D world being n...

One of the reasons I feel conscious parenting--parenting that incorporates visualization, LOA, manifesting, whatever you feel safe calling it--is important in my "mindful practice" is because as the old scripture says, "without a vision, my people perish." Mindfulness truly did transform my family from the inside out and is still a daily habit (throughout the day). That being said, it's still possible to fall into ir stay in a victim consciousness and meditate, and to Mindfulness, if my state of being is still "this is happening to me" and I am breathing thru it. I have fallen silent in a number of groups and left FB for a few months because of a collective victim mindset that FB's business model is designed to feed (watch The Social Dillemma). What has been shown to me in my faith throughout my life but even more so recently is that we aren't victims, we don't have to just sit and accept whatever our s...

This is from my post to my support group and resource page on April 9, 2018: "I am enough" ... One of the reasons this mantra is so powerful for me personally is because especially as a single mother (& no co-parent) it is easy to feel insufficient. It is easy to think of all the ways my kids would have a better life, more opportunities, etc., if they had a mother who was more experienced in this thing or a mom who was better at that thing, or heck even two parents instead of one, the list goes on. It is easy to see all our inadequacies, shortcomings, circumstances, weaknesses, etc., and wonder how much different--better even--our kids might be if they had a "better" parent. Maybe a more patient parent, one who yells less, one who has their sh** together and isn't such a "hot mess," a better cook, more fun, more this or less that.... The truth is that you are the best parent for them. You are enough. I am enough. All my weaknesses and beautiful...

This is from my post to my support group on March 3, 2019: Today's Daily Calm (I use the Calm App) guided meditation was on a concept of mindfulness really hard for me called Non-Reactivity. I have ADHD, I am autistic, I am highly sensitive & even if I mask well, underneath I have very strong emotions.  I have had a tendency towards shooting off emotionally charged emails and texts that in my early 20's caused such a riff with relatives that they held it against me for years (& some still do). The technique today's meditation used to develop non-reactivity is a type of body scan where you slowly observe different parts of your body and notice sensations as you move to the next part and the next part. Whether there is tingling or discomfort, you note it and keep moving, noticing how the last feeling disappears as a new one in a diff place starts. It all comes and goes like our breath. And we can learn to sit through it calmly, still experiencing what life brings, b...

From my post to my support group on August 12, 2019: Today's Daily Calm (I use the Calm App) was about effort... To be a "mindful parent" we practice mindfulness which also requires a daily meditation practice even if just 5 or 10 minutes a day. Our effort in both a meditation itself and in learning about mindfulness is not "too loose" or "too tight," but just our best but in a "relaxing yet alert" way. As a friend taught me, "you relax into it." It is a daily transformation process, not overnight, but slowly over time you will notice you react differently. And I believe Benjamin Schoeffler talked about this in a podcast that things that used to bother you won't bother you anymore. This morning I went to do my "morning pages" pre-meditation journaling and my journal was sitting in a puddle of sticky goop... So was my pen... Instead of cursing or muttering under my breath, I actually laughed inside as I cleaned up a...
