Welcome to Principle Eleven

Relax and Focus Before we get into anything specific, take a moment for yourSelf. Get comfortable and take a deep breath. Relax your neck and shoulders and—let go. Place your hand on your abdomen and gently bring your breath all the way down. Relax with every out breath. Gently let go, relax and release. This 9-minute audio program will assist you in deepening your breath and heightening your level of consciousness.  Opening Meditation - 9 minutes Not yet a member?

All is Spirit, your body included.   We are graced with an awesome instrument with which we navigate through this physical realm. Stop for a moment and realize how utterly amazing your body is: how it regulates temperature, digests foods, infuses oxygen into your bloodstream, relays messages throughout your body, and communicates with you about what feels right or wrong. Your body is your temple and the seat of your Inner Guide.   We have been given the privilege of a human experience, but with this privilege came the responsibility to take care of a physical body. How do we do this?     THE FIRST STEPS TOWARD PHYSICAL RESILIENCE First of all, we need to apply the Magical Formula, as described in Step 8, Mindful Creation. Remember, we attract what we give attention and what we are passionate about. So every day, be grateful and celebrate your health, and see yourself even healthier.   However, your behavior needs to be congruent with this vision. The Journey to Profound Happiness is directed from within. We need to follow our desire to express who we are and what we came here to do. We are whole and healthy; we are love. It is our natural state. And from this natural state, we have a strong urge to joyfully and passionately redefine and create pure Divine consciousness. This deep yearning is a force we all carry inside. It is our Inner Guide. Unfortunately, many people have silenced this power. This course invites you to rekindle the fire, and become sensitive, once again, to your Inner Guide, your intuition. It is a good practice to meditate, be mindful and really, really listen to your body. For instance, if you tend to overeat—just slow down and envision yourself eating your next bite. See yourself putting the food in your mouth, chewing it (calmly and gratefully), and swallowing it. Is your body welcoming the food? If so, go ahead, have the next bite. Enjoy!   ____     The Transformation and Vision Sequence         This audio program helps you transform troubling emotions into powerful creative messages to the Universe. The sequence takes around six minutes. When you are done, go to chapter 5 of your Spirits Onymous Handbook and fill out the Transformation and Vision List for this week.

You will be astounded.   RECLAIMING SPIRIT 2 Review your Goal Plans in Chapter 5 of your Spirits Onymous Handbook and check to see if you are on track.

What I find happens as a result is that I select food more carefully!!"      -Kit
