			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we speak in absolutes like these we limit ourselves, which creates anxiety because we feel stuck, like there is no way out. We all use them. Here are a few examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>I will NEVER lose this weight!</li>
<li>I ALWAYS lose at this game.</li>
<li>ABSOLUTELY not!</li>
<li>I would NEVER take a chance on that, it’s too risky.</li>
<li>If you EVER talk to me like that again…</li>
</ul>
<p>There are many others that we use but you get the idea.</p>
<p>These words limit us, limit our potential. We must make every attempt to become aware of when we are speaking with absolutes. They are powerful words and very limiting to the creation of our future realities.</p>
<p>Re-read the statements from above or look at some of your own and question them.  This is how we must speak to ourselves (and others) when these words slip out.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>I will NEVER lose this weight!  Never??</li>
<li>My husband is ALWAYS late, it make me so mad!   ALWAYS??</li>
</ul>
<p>When we question the absolute, we find that it’s not true! This powerful act of simply questioning the statements that we make to ourselves and others can relieve created anxiety. Anxiety is born from the future feeling hopeless and having no control over it.</p>
<p>Becoming aware of our speech, listening to what we are saying and dropping or questioning the absolutes will help in shifting our emotional states. The ego/mind likes absolutes and chooses to use them often, it&#8217;s very limiting. Without absolutes we can be hopeful and even optimistic about our futures.</p>
<p>Feel this statement in the heart center,  &#8220;I will never lose this weight!&#8221; This is when we would question this statement, &#8220;Never?&#8221;  “Well, maybe just not right now, it just feels hard today.” “Maybe someday but not now.” &#8220;Maybe if I hired a trainer or joined a gym that would help.&#8221; &#8220;If I even walked 20 minutes for 3 days a week I am sure it would help me drop a few.&#8221; &#8220;Maybe never is the wrong word.&#8221;</p>
<p>Every statement we make creates our future. Don’t allow absolutes to limit your future. Release absolutes from your vocabulary and realize that sky is the limit for creation of our realities; we just have to pay attention to what we are saying and challenge the limiting words we are using.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My 12 year old recently saw an old friend that he hadn’t seen in over a year. He was excited to see his friend but after spending just 30 minutes with her he said he felt really tired and was having a hard time hanging out with her (because of the fatigue). When he commented to me about the fatigue I asked him to contemplate what he was thinking/saying to himself, and sent him back to play. I knew intuitively that he was not physically tired but that it was an emotional/energy drain.</p>
<p>On our way home, I asked him to go back to the time period when he felt tired with his friend. (I wanted to use this as a real life learning example for him.)</p>
<p>I asked him to think back to what was going through his mind and what he was feeling.  Of course at first his response was, “I don’t know.” My response was yes you do know, now sit with it and get your thoughts and feelings around that time period.</p>
<p>Sure enough, he said to me, “I felt like I might get judged by her.”  I exclaimed, “Perfect!” “What else?” I asked him to reflect on if he felt: too young, too short, too skinny, hair too short, not good enough etc.</p>
<p>He answered, “Yes, a lot of those things.”</p>
<p>I let him know that the ego/mind is in charge of keeping us safe. It is the part of us that tells us that someone else is judging us and what they are ‘probably’ saying and that we need to get out of there FAST! My son wanted to stay but the ego/mind was screaming, “Red alert! Judging! Get out of here and fast!” But he stayed and got fatigued because his energy drained out of his emotional body. Too ‘scary’ to stay, to painful to be judged were probably the thoughts that were coming to him (consciously and subconsciously).</p>
<p>I reminded him how ‘tricky’ the ego can be and that so much of what it whispers to us is not true. It’s our job to disagree with the ego mind and only put in statements that are positive and empowering and not buy into the limiting beliefs such as what happened to him.</p>
<p>At 42 years old, I, like all of us deal with the ego mind. I loved this example of how it sneaks up on us and can create fatigue. Empower yourself with your thoughts and watch your energy amplify in minutes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I cannot think of a better way to end 2009 and begin 2010.</p>
<p>Happy New Year!<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-141" title="iStock_000003167168XSmall" src="http://solutionsbeyondthemainstream.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/iStock_000003167168XSmall-200x199.jpg" alt="iStock_000003167168XSmall" width="200" height="199" /></p>

<p>BLUE MOON MAGIC<br />
on New Year&#8217;s Eve 2009<br />
by Ton Pascal</p>
<p>New Years Eve on December 31, 2009 will be more powerful than a super nova.<br />
This vibration will surpass space and time and will be in the seeds of<br />
ALL LIFE CREATIONS</p>
<p>Be mindful of thoughts, they carry GREAT POWER.<br />
Take action, it has power &amp; magic&#8230;<br />
Those into wishing, WISH BIG ~~~~<br />
Know we are at the seat of our creations!!!<br />
This super novas give us an energetic boost in whatever direction we are pointed.</p>
<p>Only once in every 20 years, the blue moon appears on New Year&#8217;s Eve, as it will this year. On a plain physical level what is happening is that the moon is out of phase with the days. For it to make its complete cycle it&#8217;s about 29.5 days. It doesn&#8217;t coincide with our month, and that&#8217;s why it is out of sync with our Julian calendar. It&#8217;s the occurrence of two full moons in one month, which happens every two years, hence the popular quotation &#8220;once in a Blue Moon&#8221; which means &#8216;not very often.&#8217; On average, there will be 41 months that have two Full Moons in every century, so you could say that once in a Blue Moon actually means once every two-and-a-half years.</p>
<p>On December 31, 2009, we have a Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse.</p>
<p>On a spiritual level it is as if it asks us to &#8216;flash forward&#8217; into the next two years to see what we can see. This is the most important New Years Eve we have ever been gifted in a long time. No matter how much you do not believe prophecy from time and earth, it will still affect your energy field and your choices.</p>
<p>Someone suggested this exercise to me and I am glad to pass it forward. This New Years Eve 2009 create an I AM TEMPLATE, an energetic road map into the next two years.</p>
<p>Command the energies into a direction that serves the better good on all levels of your life.</p>
<p>Ask the Light/Angels/Divine Spirit/God/ to release what still pushes your buttons and pulls your strings.</p>
<p>Release the pettiness between you and others, the green-eyed energy that sucks your light.</p>
<p>Release the anger that drains you of your strength, just keeping it alive.</p>
<p>Release the expectations you have of others, as they ride their own horse of a different color.</p>
<p>The I AM TEMPLATE consists of an eternal circle</p>
<p>First, draw the large circle repeating the words I LIVE IN A PLACE OF PLENTY.</p>
<p>Second, on the inside of the circle place everything you plan on creating<br />
in the next two years.</p>
<p>Put down all of your dreams, aspirations, wants, needs, as well what you want<br />
for the planet.</p>
<p>On the outside of the Circle write everything you are choosing to release.</p>
<p>Release all that does not serve your highest good any longer.</p>
<p>Be specific in those releases.</p>
<p>On New Years Eve bless the &#8216;I AM Template&#8217; and then burn it,<br />
releasing its ashes like a sacred prayer on smoke.</p>
<p>This December 31, 2009, Partial Lunar Eclipse is numerically a 7/11 (#9) vibration<br />
Cosmic and personal completion! Entering the next level of love of heart, of soul and service to the planetary evolution through healing self. Free-falling from the height of the nine into the next level of Light. Entry and exits all in the same breath. A quantum leap into unknown gifts comes through the nine. Are you ready to see and be more than you are at this minute of time? Nine is the photo finish on the heavenly line of multiple choices. If you believe you have won, you have. Your New Years resolutions on 12/31/2009 will be more powerful than a super nova. Their vibration will surpass space and time and land at the feet of God.</p>
<p>Be careful what you pray for, as it will come to past.</p>
<p>Much love,</p>
<p>Ton Pascal</p>
<p>&#8220;When we are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all our thoughts break their bounds. Our mind transcends limitations, our consciousness expands in every direction and we find ourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and we discover ourself to be a greater person by far than we&#8217;ve ever dreamed ourself to be.&#8221;</p>
