Welcome to Principle Three

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 3-minute audio program will assist you in deepening your breath and heightening your level of consciousness.  Opening Meditation - 9 minutes Not yet a member?

Lao Tzu said, "The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step." Similarly, a joyful, abundant, healthy, meaningful and love-filled life can only be created one moment at a time, and that moment is always in the now.   Of course it doesn't apply to any of us, but you may know people who rush from moment to moment, regretting what they did, and wishing for a better life in the future? People who live lives that seem out of control. What do they need to do first and foremost?   STOP. They need to stop for a moment and realize that life takes place right now. What "was" is gone and the future has not arrived yet either. So, if we want to have a great life, we better grab it before it slips through our fingers.   Before we further enter the realm of magic, we must come to terms with a tricky dilemma: Are we willing to be amazed, loved, rich, healthy and respected? Are we really? Are we truly willing to be happy—at this very moment? Oh, what are you thinking? The circumstances are not quite right to be happy? Oh...      One of the main ingredients for Mindful Creation is thought: congruent positive thought, focused on what we want to create. But that is not enough. It is essential that we feel enthusiastic, joyful and passionate as well.   Q: How can I be enthusiastic about a job, a car or health I don't have?"   A:   The very nature of our existence is not reaching a certain goal, it is the process. The name of the game is creation itself. We came into physical form to engage in a creation process that never ends and always happens in the Now. Let's realize this and enjoy the journey! Life is like a vacation. The idea is to savor each and every moment.      Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Zen master, uses a mindfulness bell in his center in the south of France. Throughout the day the bell rings and everyone is instructed to stop, take three breaths, focus on the moment and ask themselves what they are doing and with what intention they are doing it.       In The ClearView Conspiracy, Moses says, "During every breath, you have the choice to live your next in a state of spiritual consciousness or not. During every moment, you have the choice to embrace your true Self and see Spirit in all living things or not. The choice is yours. Between every thought, there is a pause a smidgen of space. Step into that void and direct your next thought. What is it going to be? Will your next moment be spent consciously? Enlightenment is merely a breath away.  It’s a process of choice and created one moment at a time: now and now now now now now now .”           A deeply fulfilling existence is reached by mindfully pursuing your happiness and engaging in a gentle daily practice of controlling your mind  and living from awareness.     The following exercises will help you develop this practice. It's best done with a friend, a peer-coach or life coach.   ____     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.

As a matter of fact, the Universe always agrees. Therefore, before we unleash our creative powers, it's necessary that we are willing to receive and feel deserving: congruently and now. Go to your mirror and look yourself in the eyes and say, “I deserve to be happy and healthy,” or “I deserve to be in a loving relationship,” or anything else you would like to manifest. Do this every day until you really mean it with every cell of your body. In the beginning, the critic inside of you may protest. That is to be expected. Just smile and breathe. Give it time.     RECLAIMING SPIRIT 2 The greatest magicians have conditioned their thoughts so well that they cast, with every exhalation, a very powerful spell into the world: they send thoughts of gratitude. They know that every moment is a seed that encapsulates infinite potentiality. They know that in the moment they can access that potential and mindfully create the next moment. Be convinced that the moment is perfect as is: All is Well. This course is focused on uplifting your vibrational energy and transforming your day-to-day experience into a magnificent journey. In order to do that, it is essential that you establish a deep sense of gratitude. To assist you in this process, go to chapter 5 of your Spirits Onymous Handbook and fill out of the Gratitude List for this week.      YOU ARE PART OF A COMMUNITY     "The very nature of our existence is not reaching a certain goal, it is the process.

"He's right". I know this.... How is it that I forget, get stuck in the negative time after time???"       -K.   "I'm enjoying using the Course to focus and rejuvenate while I muddle through school. I've found that focusing in the NOW allows me a reprieve from the "chatter" and projection. Full time work, full time school make for a very full and over-extended life, so moments of "Being" are vital right now."      -Melissa
