Welcome to Principle Seven

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?

Did I scare you? Take a deep breath; it’s okay. I will not lay a guilt trip on you and talk about your responsibility to work harder, be polite to your mother, put the garbage out, or give more money to the poor.   In The ClearView Conspiracy, Chiquita talks about the kind of responsibility that makes or breaks the quality of our lives, regulates the drama-soup around us and creates peace in the world. She says, “[…] virtually everything that ‘gives’ us a strong emotional response, such as anger, sadness or fear, has nothing to do with the outside world. These emotions indicate that parts of us are bruised, insecure and still unconscious. We are triggered and must assume complete responsibility. Blaming others for our emotional imbalance will only perpetuate the drama. Whenever we are triggered, we must stop and take responsibility.” It’s similar to having someone accidentally bump against your bruised arm. It’s not the person who bumps into you, who caused the pain; no… it’s your bruise. And the pain is really a blessing, because it reminds you to take care of your bruise.   When life is getting hard and painful, it usually indicates that we are paddling upstream. Let’s not blame the river for flowing toward the ocean, it is meant to go there—and so are you.   Are you stressed out, angry, sad? Your actions are probably based on fear and you are paddling upstream. Turn around, take the oars out of the water and go with the flow. Trust, release your grip, and let go. Choose the path of least resistance. Follow your aspirations, do the things you love to do. It will give your life direction and purpose. There is no virtue in suffering. God wants you to follow you heart's desire, but leaves the decision in your hands. Only you can turn the boat around. It's your responsibility.   ____     The Transformation and Vision Sequence         This audio program helps you transform troubling emotions into powerful creative messages to the Universe.

I am Spirit, You are Spirit, All is Spirit and All is Well Adrianus     "Thanks for the suggestion to work with one of my predominant triggers. Holding the emotional response in an accepting and nonjudgmental way while breathing into it worked beautifully. My highly charged, emotional response quickly transformed into a very manageable form with mild emotional elements and helpful insights. I'm looking forward to applying this technique when this issue gets triggered in a real life situation."     - Dr. James Strohl   "Another 'zinger' by Adrianus, the 'r' factor. Who wants to be responsible? Only me if it's good. but if not so good--ah, that's different. Thank you for bringing this discrepancy to the forefront of my attention, and for the incredibly effective audio segments."     - MC   "What is becoming clearer to me as I follow your program and listen to the spirit within me is that I am the one responsible for this journey. I am responsible for my emotions, for my 'reactions" to what happens around me and finally I am responsible for following my destiny. And through awareness I can increase the joy in living."     -KR
