Are You Evolving or Revolving?

Candace — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 01:48:37 +0000

Have you ever felt like your life is stuck in a revolving door and you can’t break free from the inertia of the spin? Going round and round and round, a different scene each time but the same outcome?

Many if not most people experience this same thing.

I am sure that you have heard the saying “how can you keep repeating the same behavior expecting different results” and can all grimace and know that most of use are guilty of this behavior somewhere in our lives.

Why? Because we really don’t know how to change our behavior. We have been responding, acting and reacting the same way for the most of our lives. These patterns are so engrained that we can’t seem to get out of the rut even though we know we want a different outcome.

Each new relationship ends with amazing similar results. We hear the same criticisms over and over again and keep thinking it’s the other person fault when in fact it’s about us, our inability to take the action necessary to make the changes that can and will bring us overflowing happiness.

First, one must acknowledge and accept the repeating message. This is 90% of the work involved in the change. Denial of our liabilities is the wall that keeps us from living fully in abundance and joy.

Making the necessary changes is the next step but these life long patterns can be difficult to change. This is where 20 Minute Feng Shui can help. Creating the energy in your home for the changes that you desire will create the environment of change. Living in this new energy will begin to influence and change you and your behavior.

We all know that your place in life is directly related to where and how you grew up. Look at the outcome of the lives of those who grow up in Beverly Hills verses those who grow up in the Getto.

You can have a direct impact on where you life is going by taking control of your environment. 20 Minute Feng Shui can help you do this.

Life – a 24/7 HoneyMoon A Must See Video

Candace — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 18:01:46 +0000

The real question is How Conscious are You? Bruce Lipton, PhD says that the average person is only fully conscious 5% of the time.

If we are creating in each and every moment and are only fully conscious 5% of the time this explains why most people are living a less than prosperous, joy filled life.

You must see what Bruce Lipton’s has to say in this video below.

To really take charge of our lives we must become fully conscious or more conscious than we are now. The more conscious we become the greater control we will have over what we are creating in our lives.

I am using the Mind Movies Subliminal program. It runs in the background of my computer (re-programming my sub-conscious ) the entire time I am on it, and I get to decide what it says!

You have got to check this out. The subliminal part of the Mind Movies program is incredible. Click here to see more about Mind Movies.

You can use this to get out of debt, find your soul mate or make more money.

Are you in Alignment with your Goals and Dreams?

Candace — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 22:56:32 +0000

I was talking with a frustrated friend today about why they are having such a difficult time achieving their goals and dreams. As is often the case it is much easier for someone else to see the forest when you are focusing on the trees.

What I mean by this is that when you identify something in your life that you don’t like the tendency is to focus on that thing that you want to remove. The problem with this is that what you focus on is what you create.

Here is an example of how to get into alignment with what you really want.

If you desperately are looking to get out of debt it seems like that is all that you can see, debt. Now, looking at the debt everyday or even several times a day just leaves you feeling depressed, besides looking at it every day does not change the debt.

Now this will take a little discipline but when you get it down you will be on your way to living the life you truly desire.

I suggest a mental filing system. When your issue comes to the fore front or even to the back of you mind, ask yourself…Self…is there anything I can do about this right now or even today? If the answer is yes do it and then set a calendar time for follow up. If not set a time on your calendar when you can do something about it. When it comes back to your mind, remind yourself that you are scheduled to think about it again only at the scheduled time and not before..

Now what is important is that when that scheduled time arrives you address this issue. If there is something you can do about it do if not re-schedule it.

Scheduling your worry time, limits the amount of time that you worry so that you are free to be happy and create from this place of happiness. Instead of spending most of our time in worry you will find that you are spending more in alignment with what you truly want in life. The more time you spend in alignment the faster you will arrive at living the life you desire.

Try it….it works!

Positive Thinking is Hog Wash Find Out Why

Candace — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 21:22:01 +0000

Everyone has heard that positive thinking is the way to creating anything you want in life and most people think that it’s a bunch of hog wash. Well, in one way they are absolutely correct because it takes more than just positive thinking!

It takes re-programming your subconscious or as I call it your hardrive. Your entire life your subconscious has been programmed by your family, role modes, teachers and friends without your conscious approval. Click on the (…More..) link below

If the programs on your PC or Mac did not operate the way you wanted you would easily and quickly get a new program. So why are you letting these old, outdated, self sabotaging programs ruin your life?

For a bit now I have been telling you about this incredible program created by Mind Movies that will help you re-program your subconscious.

Find Lasting Love Using Feng Shui

Candace — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:57:36 +0000

If you’ve already found the love of your life, you’re one of the lucky ones. Many people search for years for the kind of love you already have.

But if you’re still in the searching process, there are plenty of ways you can use Feng Shui to help you meet the perfect person for your life. After all, you don’t want to attract just anyone.

You want to meet the person who’s perfect in your eyes.

Attracting Positive Energies

The first step to finding Mr. or Mrs. Right is to begin to identify who this person is. While you don’t want to have an exact picture in your mind of the person that you MUST meet, you should have some sort of idea as to what they might be like.

You might want to start by creating a list of the things you want your perfect date and love to have.

This can include:

A good sense of humor
A kind heart
A love of children/pets/NASCAR/etc.
Money
A successful career
Etc.

Take this list and put this in your relationship corner of your bedroom. The list doesn’t have to be large enough for anyone to read, so long as you know what’s on it, so don’t afraid of the next step.

You want to hang this list on the wall or place it on a table that’s sitting in that corner. This will help you to increase the energy of the qualities that you want in a date and in a relationship.

The relationship corner is located in the far right corner of your rooms.

Other tips to help encourage love in your life include:

Remove sharp corners in your bedroom – Since the bedroom if really the center of your lover energy, make sure that you don’t have any areas that come to points. To prevent this, soften the corners of your bedroom by placing plants in the corners or other items that help to cut these corners off.

Make sure you can see your door from bed – If you can’t see your doorway from your bed, you might be decreasing the energy of your search for love. You want to always be able to ‘see’ the energy entering your life, even as you sleep.

Add softer colors to your room – If your room is filled with bright yellows and oranges, even some reds are too energetic, not only will you have troubles sleeping, but you might also have troubles with attracting love rather than lust. Choose soothing colors, but nothing that’s too feminine or flowery. Simple is the keyword in this adjustment.

Now that you have stirred up the energy of love in your bedroom, it’s time to see what else you can do with this energy once you head out into the dating world.

Dating and Feng Shui

Unfortunately, even Feng Shui isn’t going to bring dates to your doorstep. So, in order to meet the love of your life, you’re going to have to start dating.

Since you’ve increased the energy of love in your life at this point, adding these dating specific Feng Shui adjustments will help you create the perfect conditions for long term connections.

Add pictures of couples to your relationship corner – Now, these pictures don’t have to include you in them. In fact, it’s better to find pictures of couples whose faces aren’t visible. This way, you’re not directing the energy too much to one certain situation.

Bring beauty into your life – Make sure to add fresh flowers to your relationship corner as much as possible. This will enhance the energy of beauty in those that you meet. When you place the flowers in the corner, give yourself gratitude for trying to find love and tell yourself that you will be successful.

Consider adding pink to the relationship corner – While this tends to be seen as an overly feminine color, there are shades of pink that can be downright seductive and alluring, even in a man’s bedroom. Try adding these colors to your relationship corner as well as to your bedroom, if you can.

Move your bedroom – If your bedroom isn’t in the relationship corner of your home or apartment, you might want to consider moving it. This will not only stir up new energy, but it will also help you encourage the energy of love and romance as you will be in the energetic center of luck in love.

Clear away old relationships – Most of us have some mementos of past relationships that we keep. But if these mementos are in your bedroom, they might be interfering with your ability to reach out for something new in your love life. Try to remove these things from your bedroom, and ideally from your home. After all, these relationships are over and done with – you want something new.

Be thankful for each new meeting – Instead of beating yourself up at the end of each date when you don’t find Prince Charming or Mrs. Right, you should come back to your bedroom, look over the list of things you want in a love match, and breathe. Thank yourself for the fact that you were brave enough to try to find you.

Love is out there waiting for you, but if you don’t stir up the pot of love energy, you might have to kiss a lot of frogs before you get to the prince or princess.

Why not skip the frogs entirely?

Stress Relief Tips

Candace — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 19:19:56 +0000

When you’re feeling stressed in your life, it’s not generally because other people are putting too much pressure on you – though that’s what most decide is the trouble.

Stress is generally the result of our own decisions and errors in judgment.

We take on too much work, too much responsibility, and then other things in our life begin to fall by the wayside, leaving us feeling unbalanced and unable to keep up with the demands placed upon on.

Ideally, we should be learning how to say ‘no’ to things in our life that we don’t want to do, but when we’re already vulnerable due to mismanaged energies in our home, it is only more difficult.

Instead, you might want to start off with Feng Shui adjustments to help you manage your environment and eventually the rest of your life.

When You’re Stressed Right Now

If you’re feeling the heat in your life right now, you need ‘emergency’ Feng Shui cures.

You want to start off by taking a moment to breathe. Simply breathe in and out to regulate not only your heartbeat, but also your energy. Find the center of yourself, the part of you that is quiet and calm and reassured that all is well, even when it doesn’t feel that way.

Once you can created a bit more peace and calm, you can then begin to clear away the energies that are stressing you.

Look around the room – To start things off, take a look at your space. Are there areas where you have clutter or a mess? If you do, take note of these spaces and begin to see what spaces feel as though they need the most attention.

Find out what’s wrong – By looking at a bagua, you can begin to see what these messy areas correspond with energetically. For example, if you notice that the right side of your room is cluttered, you might begin to think about how your family life right now is unbalanced. Look to the areas of clutter not as messes, but rather as ways to diagnose your stressors.

Clean up the clutter – Stress is only enhanced by the presence of clutter in your life. To make sure you are as stress free as possible, you want to remove as much clutter from your space as you can. And no, this doesn’t mean you can just hide it somewhere else. You need to remove the extraneous things from your space and make sure they don’t come back to stifle your energy flow.

Add neutral colors to your space – If you are feeling stressed, try to find a way to add something cool in color and soothing. Blues and light purples are a great way to enhance your energy. Find a scarf that you can drape over yourself or over something in your direct line of sight. Or you might want to remove items that are brightly colored as they can draw too much energy to a space, leaving you feeling drained and chaotic.

Add a water element – Water is a very soothing element to have in your space when you are stressed. Not only is the sound of the water calming, but it also helps you shift the energy of your space, allowing your worries to wash away. Think about placing a small fountain or a fishbowl in your space if you can. Or if you’re in a space without these features, head to a local pond or find pictures of water to post in your office as a substitute.

When You’re Constantly Under Stress

For some of us, stress isn’t just a condition of our current situation; it’s something we will deal with every single day.

It can help for you to have long term Feng Shui cures in place to try to prevent as much energetic disturbance as possible. You don’t want the quick fixes, you want cures that help you retain your sanity every day.

So, whether you are a doctor or in another high pressure position, you might want to try these fixes:

Don’t have things in your environment that you do not love – For example, if there is anything in your environment that reminds you of stressful times, remove it – immediately. The same can be done for your wardrobe. Only wear things that feel good and that make you feel good as you move throughout your day.

Surround yourself with images of happiness – You want to keep pictures of your friends and family close by as well as in your family areas of your home (the left side of your rooms from the entranceway). This way, you can constantly remind yourself of the things that really matter.

Make sure your doorways are always clear – When you block the entranceways of your rooms, you are blocking the career and life path energies of your world. And that is generally where most of us find our stress’s source. Make sure you can easily enter and exit the rooms of your home so that you’re not stifling any positive energy.

Add plants to your environment – Plants are natural energy transmuters. They take negative energy from the environment and turn it into healthy and prosperous energies. Of course, you will need to make sure you are taking care of the plants to ensure they can continue this important work.

Consider soothing sounds – As you enter into the world of jarring energies, you might want to add soothing sounds to offset the stress these noises can bring. Things like soothing music and chimes are a great way to add positive energy back into your life.

Stress may be something that’s entirely under our control, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t going to be stressed from time to time.

With these Feng Shui ideas, you can start experiencing more days of peace and calm, which can make the ‘bad days’ a bit easier to bear when they do come.

Are You Thinking Yourself into Loneliness, Ill Health or Debt?

Candace — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 19:54:03 +0000

We live in an abundant world. Money doesn�t disappear off the planet, it just changes hands. The key is being in the flow so that abundant money flows into and out of your hands continually.

You get what you think about. If you think you can�t afford to get your leaking roof fixed you won�t and never will. If you think that you are un-lovable you are. If you think that you are out of control of your life you can create sickness.

If you believe and trust that money, opportunities, joy, health success are always flowing to you, you will have the money to fix your roof, love, vibrant health and more.

I know that this sounds like woo woo mumbo jumbo, but it isn�t! Let me explain how you keep yourself in poverty consciousness and how to get out of it.

You try to have abundant thinking, you say an affirmation once a day, but behind the scenes, a tape with an automatic loop is playing every second in your subconscious that says �I don�t see it, so it�s not true�. Here is how it stacks up on a daily basis:

� 1 point for the abundant thinking,

� 86,400 points for it�s not true thinking.

Then there are all your helpful friends who confirm the automatic loop. You try to be positive and affirm what you want. Your friends roll there eyes and snicker shredding any hope you had of joy and success, dragging you back into the all familiar rut.

This is why you can�t get out of the poverty consciousness. Years and years of subconscious programming, and well meaning friends who are afraid that you will get out are running your life.

Successful people march to their own drummer. They take back control of their lives. They do not listen to the nay sayers. They create their own dialog that they listen to. They are selective about who and what they allow into their daily lives. People, who do this, set themselves on the track for drawing into their lives true abundance and success.

Below is a list that will help you get on your own track:

Keep your dreams, goals and objectives to yourself or to a limited number of trusted friends and family who support you.
Repeat your affirmations often during the day. If you don�t believe them, keep telling yourself until you do.
Listen to your self talk. Each time you find yourself thinking that you can�t, tell yourself you can and move on to another subject. Don�t battle with the subconscious, just train it!
Take a good look at the people that you associate with and ask yourself if having them supports your dreams. You may want to limit your exposure.
Take a good look at what data you allow into your world: television, movies, newspapers, reading. If it does not make you feel good get rid of it. Your friends and family will let you know if something really important happens.
Feed your subconscious with positive up-lifting information. If you want to re-program your subconscious your must be diligent in this effort.

It all sounds so simple and it is. You just have to be disciplined enough to live it and do it!

Get out of Debt with a Small Shift!

Candace — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 22:14:25 +0000

�The path of least resistance�, we have all heard that before and think it�s for the lazy or underachievers. Many have been programmed,� it takes hard work to be successful� or �there is no gain without pain�. Well I am here to tell you that hard work is for limited thinkers. The concept of hard work keeps you so busy that there is no time to achieve your goals and dreams. The path of least resistance is the way.

I want to address this in relationship to change. When something happens in our lives that we don�t like we immediately think I have to change that! We struggle to not do it again, to resist temptation, to stop compulsive behaviors. But stopping is difficult if not impossible!

Stopping habitual behaviors is like trying to stop the sun from setting, stopping the wind from blowing or stopping the river from rushing. Unless you are Moses, it takes an act of God! So why push against the river to achieve your objectives? There is another way.

Instead of moving away from what you don�t want, try moving towards what you do want. For an example: Instead of moving away from debt try moving towards financial independence. You say �they are both the same thing!� But they are not. When you focus on your debt it becomes an immovable object. The intense energy and amount of time you spend thinking about debt just creates more of it. If this intense energy and focus could be directed towards financial freedom you would be on your way. It is not how do I get out of debt. It is how I make more money!

It is a small little shift in thinking that will make large changes in achieving the desires of your heart.

Unlimited Abundance

Candace — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 17:36:53 +0000

You can be living the life you desire. If you find yourself in a place where you are not, it is time to change your perception. It goes back to �is the glass half full or half empty?� Perception! We are all limited in life by what we perceive.

Have you ever had a disagreement with someone and been totally confused because they just couldn�t see what you were talking about? I think we have all been there. It�s because of the filters of perception!

Most people hold on to their views of the world as if it is life or death. They hold on because it is what (they think) makes them who they are. What they do not understand is that it is this holding on to a limited perception that holds them in a life of mediocrity.

When we open ourselves up, our life expands to unlimited possibilities. You can start creating these unlimited possibilities by writing and speaking affirmations for your life.

You can utilize the subtle energies in your environment to assist you in manifestation.
