Superstitions

When you believe in things that you don’t understand
then you suffer. Superstition ain’t the way…

Stevie Wonder

I once read a story about a family that seemed to be doomed. All the males in that particular family passed away before they turned 55 ! Imagine being a boy or a man in that family having such a future prospect ! Imagine the conversations they must have had at family reunions…

Some family members called it bad luck, others called it fate. Some believed their family had been cursed or that someone had put a spell on them.

We often don’t realize that our life situations are caused by our beliefs, that our superstitions can turn into self-fulfilling prophecies and that our convictions can harm or even kill us !

We all know someone whose sudden death surprised us because we thought they probably were the healthiest person in the world, they took care of their body and were moderate in life.

We often sabotage ourselves : we focus on the things we don’t want or take action with the wrong intentions, we let fear constantly be our motivator and advisor !

We put conditions and expectations on things that haven’t happened yet, this way attracting them in our reality !

“I eat healthy because I don’t want to get cancer…” “I don’t do that because I am afraid I am going to fail…”

“I must lose weight before I lose my partner…If he continues to behave like this, I’m going to have a heart attack !”

We believe that certain objects or people are the cause of our good fortune or misfortune, our good luck or our bad luck.

“A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.”

Groucho Marx

These beliefs keep us trapped in an endless loop, a repetitive cycle of disaster until we break the pattern, until we consciously release our belief in them.

It is our belief that creates expectancy in our subconscious mind and attracts a “lucky” or a “bad” situation.

No one has really power over us unless we believe they do ! No outside forces are needed to put us back where we belong : in the driver’s seat of our life !

Do not suffer from these superstitions. Be positively fearless ! Have faith and believe in yourself !

Souls in distress

What if there were a book available to help you take the direction you truly desire in life or help you solve any kind of problem or life situation ?

What if there were a brilliant method to empower yourself and have a clear understanding of your inner nature ? Would you buy such a book or program ?

Maybe you did buy one of these thousands self-help books or online programs promising the end to all of your misery ! You were excited ! You read, took notes or highlighted certain phrases that were interesting. You even did the exercices that were recommended…

But after that promising start, you found out that your motivation was decreasing, you felt it wasn’t worth the try or you didn’t see the change you desired. You threw the book in a corner and picked up life as usual, until there was once again a new crisis or a new promising program online…

What if there’s a helpful tool, completely free of charge offering simple solutions to all life’s challenges ? What if you can access it anywhere, anytime, anyplace you want ? What if you were born with it and this system exists within you ?

It is your emotional system ! The gps to navigate through life, the tools to cure your soul in distress are your e-motions ! The tools through which you balance yourself are your emotions.

Some are immediately expressed or brought to the surface, others are burried or hidden deep within your unconscious. All painful or unprocessed emotions are stored in your body !

Whenever you experience negative emotions, you are holding on to negative thoughts. The mental or physical pain you are feeling is YOUR effort to sustain your negative beliefs and thoughts ! Thoughts are creative and have immense power. You should always be watchful for what you think and believe !

Shouldn’t I analyse my thoughts then instead of my emotional state ? It’s impossible to investigate all your thoughts as we humans have 50.000 or 70.000 thoughts a day and we are not conscious of them all ! How do you know which one is the cause of your problems ?

Whenever you FEEL bad, you are feeding yourself with untruths coming from your unconscious beliefs and thoughts and the words you are stating to yourself.

Are there negative feelings bubbling up ? Release these before they pile up in your mind and body, hiding who you really are underneath all that junk, causing un-ease or even dis-ease in your body.

Take a break for a few moments when you are feeling bad. Stop ! The only question you should ask yourself is : How am I feeling now ?

Feel where the un-ease is seated in your body and how it exactly feels ! Don’t think about the answer, just connect to your body and let your body speak !

Put your focus (mental imagery) on what you want instead of what you don’t want. Focus on things that feel good and keep your self-talk positive if you want to have a succesful result !

Start by being positive to yourself ! Only tune in to the good vibes ! Don’t let other people dictate how you feel ! Give off good vibrations and good things will follow !

The three fields of cultivation

In our body we have three important centers that can store and increase energy, in Taoism they are called the Dan Tien.

The lower Dan Tien (Jing)

Power

The lower Dan Tien(Jing) is located two inches below the navel. All power which mobilizes the body originates from this energy center.

It allows us to develop and use Qi (middle Dan Tien) and Shen (upper Dan Tien). The other Dan Tiens cannot be felt until enough energy has been built in this lower Dan Tien.

In Taoism, martial art, Qi Gong, …the lower Dan Tien is also called the seat of Chi. It is responsable for fueling our body so that we stay vibrant, strong and healthy.

When we focus on this energy center during meditation we increase our strength, endurance and will power.

The Middle Dan Tien (Qi)

Love

The middle Dan Tien or seat of the soul, lies in the chest area and corresponds with the heart. It is the area of our emotions and and the root of the ego’s sense of self and individuality. It is our connection between the heavenly realms (spirit) and the earth.

When we focus on this energy center during meditation we increase our capacity to express our feelings and to show compassion.

The Upper Dan Tien (Shen)

Wisdom

The upper Dan Tien lies in between the eyebrows in the middle of the forehead and corresponds with the third eye or pineal gland.

It is the area of mental thinking, intuition and psychic activity and is related to spirit and consciousness.

When we focus on this energy center we develop our superior mental skills and our connection to spirit.

Alignement of the three Dan Tiens

Jing generates Qi. Qi transforms the food and feeds the Jing. An abundant Jing is the substratum of a strong and clear Shen.

A centered Shen extracts more efficiently the nutrients of the food and the energy of the air.

A focused Shen activates the Qi. When the mind is quiet and empty, the true Qi is under our conrol.

The mind is the owner of the energy and the energy is the owner of the blood. A centered Shen with high values doesn’t waist energy.

The mind influences on breathing. Calming the breathing, the spirit gets centered. An abundant Qi gives you a powerful consciousness.

“外三宝不漏 Wai San Bao Bu Lou: Close your external treasures, do not leak your jing qi shen.”

Governed by…

When you hear the word “to govern”, many of you will instantly think about our rulers, our governments or the people who have authority over us, the leaders of this world.

You might think about several other people, groups or organisations having power over us : the bankers, our employers, even our teachers and parents.

Other words will possibly flash into your mind aswell : possession, dominion, submission,…

Maybe you ask yourself : who governs who ? How can we be completely free ? Is that even possible ?

We can add the words of our beloved Wayne Dyer to this William Penn’s quote : “These tyrants are often self imposed roadblocks of your lower self at work !”

Are we making decisions according to our animalistic and lower nature ? Are we making choises according to our emotional states ? You need to know that these two alone will build dangerous and unstable constructions !

When we keep our focus on resentment and retaliation or fear and anger, we will see it reflected back into our world. That’s why the ruling class likes to keep us trapped in fear and continues to hypnotize and brainwash us through media, politics, economics,…

External conditions can’t govern us, it’s our mental attitude that makes up all these restrictions preventing us from attaining long lasting happiness !

Power versus force

God gave us command to rule over the earth, the expectation was to do so in a way that reflected His character.

Instead of being submitted by all these man made doctrines, which are all a bunch of illusions we are forced to believe in, we have to reinstall our true power, the one that comes from within and that is available to all of us.

To put the real governor into his righteous place, we need to step a little higher and summon a more mighty power, the power of the heart, the place where the Christ resides !

Jesus said, “Behold, the kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21). It is within this kingdom — the realm of our hearts — that Christ rules supreme over his people, guiding us, healing us and governing our lives and future.

David Wilkerson

Surrender to kindness and spontaneity, bend to joy and curiosity and add a little gentleness and genuiness to this magical blend.

Remain loving all the time and be passionate. Create a mysterious fabric, a woven grid of love.

Let love be the authority to which you bow and be true to its power in the eternal now !

As within, so without !

What you put out is what you get back ! As within, so without, it is as simple as that. What you get back from the universe is nothing but a reflection of your inner world !

It means that you are an active player and participator in life whether you like it or not. It gives you a huge responsability in life !

Are there things going on in your life right now, things you would really want to get rid off ?

You can only be affected by something or someone if you agree with it. Only by your agreement (unconscious or conscious) you can attract and experience it in your life.

I will give you a personal example that will show you how important our regular and repetitive thoughts, words and emotions are. A while ago I was wondering why we – as a family unit – couldn’t manifest more money to do the things we really wanted.

The moment extra money came in, the car or the laundry machine broke down, making the repair a priority… Or the moment we saved enough money to do something special, the money got stolen or a bill came in for the same amount.

We were both desperate ! What was happening ? My partner said : “Why can’t it be easy ? I want us to have a normal family life. I don’t even ask for anything special or out of the ordinary, I just want us to be happy together…”

Then I replied : “I know how you are feeling, I feel exactely the same way darling, I hope our money issues don’t burden our relationship too much, all I care about is our love, money can be stolen from me !”

It dawned on me that the universe had given us exactely what we wanted, it simply affirmed all of our statements and said a big YES to it !

Money isn’t important, it can be stolen from me…”Aye aye sir!”, “Roger that”, the universe answered and the money got up in smoke…

This was the obstruction to our abundance, this was the king-pin to deal with !

You can create your paradise on earth, it is completely in your hands, it is completely up to you. Nothing else controls you. Nothing else can ! Nothing else has the power to !

The universe doesn’t say that you are wrong or right, you do ! The universe doesn’t say that you are good or bad, you do ! The universe doesn’t judge, you are the judge !

The universe always supports you in anything that you do and always gives you what you’re asking for.

As above, so below ! As within so without !

Rebirth !

We all tend to highlight big changes in our life and share our moments of glory and grief with our loved ones. We celebrate endings and new beginnings. We bring out a toast to the new born and the just married. We raise our glasses to the death and the divorced…

Now imagine : you’ve invited your family and friends for a drink…No one really knows the reason why you are throwing this party or what kind of news you are about to tell them…

But at a given moment you demand their attention and state :

“I have a confession to make…” All eyes on you off course…

“I’ve been deceiving all of you for quite a while now….” The curiosity of your public raises…

“All these years I pretented to be someone I wasn’t and I covered myself up to meet all your needs and expectations…” Rumors all over the place….

The guessing has started…A friend shouts : “Don’t tell ! I know ! You are coming out !”

You (kind of) ignore the tumult. You bring your audience back to silence, raise your glass and you continue your speech :

“Today I would like to bring out a toast to life ! Real life ! I mean : Life as it was meant to be. Today I invite all of you to celebrate the birth of a new me.”

Auntie Claudia already gives you that look as if you’re coming from Mars. Some of your cousins start quarreling : “What the hell is she talking about ?”

Uncle Bill displays his wisdom : “Have you lost your mind, girl ?”

“Well, uncle Bill now that you come up with it. It actually feels quite liberating !”

Some have lost their tongues, unable to speak ; all they can do is stare at you…

Courageously you continue :

“It means that I am putting an end to my self-inflicted pain and I now choose to go pain-free. I no longer sustain the belief in my negative thoughts. They can no longer count on my participation, I let them go and choose truth instead.”

“It means I am stripping off the lies that I have been told and I no longer resist or deny my own creative powers. I no longer put effort in things that cause me to move away from my essence, leaving me in pain.”

“It means that today I choose life instead of death and I clear my perception of anything that is less than perfect. I now transcend the long time trauma inflicted on me.”

It means I am completely free from the shackles of the past and choose to live in the eternal now !”

Let go, let God

“Growth is only letting go of the concepts of lack and limitation or, on the positive side, going within and seeing this unlimited being that we are and choosing to remain as such.”

Lester Levenson

A lot of people are anxious to let go of their attachements and suppressed emotions. They wonder what will be left of them once they have released these things.

“Will I lose my identity ? Will I be unrecognisable to myself ? Will I get senseless ? Will I become unable to experience the wonders of life ? They again fear…the unknown.

It is a remembrance however. The thousands years of ignorance made us all fall in deep sleep and amnesia. We completely forgot who we are.

All the identities you created in order to properly function in this world aren’t who you truly are. You believe that they are you, but they are just holding a veil in front of the real you. You are feeling restless because you drove far off from your own beingness.

Trying to get rid of your negativity and problems is struggling with them and sustaining them. The only way you can get rid off them is by not holding on to them.

You still hold the mental image in mind of the things you don’t want instead of what you desire. You are still thinking in terms of limitation and bounderies.

Let go of what keeps you trapped in a vicious negative cycle, strip off layer by layer until all the weight and illusions are gone.

What is left when you strip off all these impostors is your Beingness and it has more to offer than all the things you are so desperately trying to sustain or cling on to.

You will gradually see glimpses of who you are, what you came here to do and where you came from. As you remember who you are, you exponentially grow.

True feelings will arise again because they will come from source, straight from the heart, where judgement is non existent and only truth is seen and experienced.

In order to let go of what troubles us, we don’t necessarely have to dig deep in our subconscious. We would only involve our thinking too much, leaving us doubting more and even creating more drama in our life.

Letting go is easy and simple but it can look hard because of all our past habits. Just let go and let God restore everything to perfection. Return to the stillness of your being and surrender to that higher power.

You are an infinite being able to accomplish anything ! Just don’t mind the mind and the mind won’t need minding !

Be a balanced bouncer !

When you were born, you were born “clean”, with a clear slate. But then people began “steering and molding” you. You were learned what was appropriate and what was not, what was “bad” and what was “good”, people taught you how to behave ! The conditionning had begun.

Then people began putting all kinds of “spells and curses” upon you : “You are a good for nothing type !”, “You can’t do that you dummy, people will laugh at you !”, “Why can’t you behave ?”

Even your girlfriend who says : “You’ll never find someone like me again, ever !”, without noticing it herself, is cursing you too !

Once this curse is placed in your unconscious mind, and repeated with time, it gets a life of its own : it turns into a belief that blocks you from further growth and you are completely unaware of its source !

Are you still wondering why on earth things are not working out for you ? Why your life is running on auto mode ? Well you became a good spell caster yourself : a black magician !

You believed all the stories from the past and you became fearful, you started stating all kind of untruthful things to yourself : “I am not this, I have not that, I should not do this,…” “Poor me !”

You looked for happiness outside of yourself or you tried to get it in acquiring all kinds of stuff. You searched for love in your partner, you searched for recognition at work,…

Are you judging others or are you constantly critizing people, putting names on things,…? Are you still feeling ashamed or guilty for what happened a long time ago ? Quit doing penance your whole life !

When you’re about to enter a club at night, you make sure you don’t do anything that pisses off the bouncer, don’t you ? And once you’re in, you behave, so you wouldn’t be thrown out immediately. Right ?

Are you in or out of your club of creation ? Who is staying in your head uninvited ? Who is running around making a lot of turmoil ? Who’s spoiling all the fun ? What is turning the positive vibe in a creepy atmosphere ? What triggers you for a fight ?

Take a break ! Stop ! You need to create a guard, a watchman at the gate, some kind of governor who can take over the command when there is riot in your head. Someone who can restore the balance and act from a higher place.

As the creator of your life you have the power to decide who or what you give entrance to in your life…You decide : You are the bouncer !

You are strong and able to protect yourself. You can say no to the hooligans from your past ! You can skip the dance with the demons in your mind ! You can stop flirting with the devil and bounce all these nasty bitches off !

Let the kind thoughts enter, the loving ones that give you a warm fuzzy feeling. Invite the joyful thoughts in and dance with them all night !

Be there with the strong ones, the courageous and adventurous ones, who gave up judgements and trials long ago, who don’t have to hide or prove anything to anyone !

Remember you are the bouncer : you can get bounced off or you can bounce back. Be a balanced bouncer : set bounderies for yourself and choose wisely !

Hush my darling

Hush my darling, don’t fear my darling the lion sleeps tonight…

A few days ago this song popped into my head. I felt compelled to know why, I needed to explore it further. It reminded me of my childhood, it reminded me of Nietzsche and his three stages of human transformation, starting with the camel, the lion and ending with the child.

A child-like spirit is vital to happiness, health, and well-being. “The child is innocence and forgetting, a new beginning, a sport, a self-propelling wheel, a Sacred Yes”, Nietzsche said. The lion becomes a child when life is no longer a reactive struggle to defeat other forces. Life becomes a celebration.

We are at the final crossroads where we finally understand what needs to be done to fully free ourselves from our imaginary cages. The key lies in our consciousness, in our willingness to shed the old completely and create at a different level.

We are all renewing our vows, vows we made a long time ago. We are remembering where we came from and what we came here to do.

Our time is now to dive deeply into the water, not just tip toe in it. It is time we drink the water and not just taste it on our lips !

We are invited to join NOW, the universe awaits our decision and asks : Are you in or out ? What’s it going to be ?

Your task as a bridger and mediator wasn’t an easy one. You fell in the booby traps of the matrix, you sunk deep in the rabbithole. Your bridge couldn’t hold the weight anymore and started cracking and it eventually collapsed, the walls of Babylon came down…

Your structure collapsed because it wasn’t based on a proper foundation, it didn’t correspond to the laws of the universe, the law of one. So you fell, all the way down.

Only to discover something else at the bottom : Your essence, your I AM, your true foundation !

You have to rebuild your bridge from zero but this time you have help from some new and powerful friends : courageousness and faith, self acceptance and peace !

Relax and return to your foundation, your “I AM” and start generating love for yourself first ! Once you feel that energy abundantly and overflowing, let it flow to your family and friends, then broaden it to your city and your country aswell, let it envelop the whole world and finally let it encompass the whole universe…this is the ultimate love affair !

Be quiet and relax even more deeply, you will see that everything is returned to you again…because you are that universe !

You can’t erase yourself out of this experience. Even death can’t to that !

Release, relax and recreate !

As a way of dealing with residual old stuff and old programming, a way of coping with the incoming energies, all these transmissions and changes, I have created a new mantra : “Release, relax and recreate !”

Release daily

Have you ever tried to install a new program on your computer without removing the old one first ? Then you probably experienced some difficulties or you received an error message saying that another program was still running and blocking the download.

Before you put more positivity in yourself, you have to remove the old negative programs or they will interfere with eachother. Deprogram before reprogramming !

Explore your feelings when you feel bad and ask your body directly where these feelings came from, then consciously release them.

Letting go isn’t that difficult, it just needs your genuine intention to do so, you take a decision and you give the command that whatever is disturbing you leaves you instantly ! You have the authority to do so !

Relax daily

Your mind and body need to relax daily to be able to cope with these downloads at high speed.

Whenever you feel overwhelmed, put your mind on inactive. Listen to your body when it asks for rest. Are you just staring at your screen, unable to write ? Do you feel like your head is about to explode because of all the information but you can’t seem to tie it all together ?

Stop whatever you are doing and engage in a calming activity. Return to the silence more often in meditation or other mindful activities ! You’ll be able to puzzle all the pieces together quite easily when you are operating from a relaxed and peaceful state !

Recreate daily

Bring refreshment to your soul : restore it with play and joy !

Do something that makes your soul happy : it might be something creative or something you used to do as a child, maybe you might want to visit a certain place where you find yourself perfectly at ease.

Choose an activity that gets you out of your mind, that makes you forget time !

Whatever suits your souls, nurtures your inner child, whatever reminds you of your dreams, whatever inspires you to do great things, go do that !

Release, relax and recreate and you will smoothly bring forth the good !

Phuro! Be inspired!
