Don't just sit there, do something!

Often we tell ourselves, "Don't just sit there, do something!" But when we practice awareness, we discover something unusual. We discover that the opposite may be more helpful: "Don't just do something, sit there!" We must learn to stop from time to time in order to see clearly. At first, "stopping" may look like a kind of resistance to modern life, but it is not. It is not just a reaction; it is a way of life. Humankind's survival depends on our ability to stop rushing. "Stopping" is not only to stop the negative, but to allow positive healing to take place. That is the purpose of our practice--not to avoid life, but to experience and demonstrate that happiness in life is possible now and also in the future.

Change Your Life...

Have you noticed that the more negative thoughts you have, the more negative events happen? The more you feel stressed the more stressed you get? The more you join in with negativity the greater it expands? Until everything is a problem and everything is negative. What a dark place to be. You are in control of the light switch. So turn on the light.

YOU created the avalanche and YOU can stop the avalanche right now.

The more positive thoughts you have, the more positive events happen. It’s all in your own hands (or head)!! We know for sure that stress is entirely self induced. Negativity breeds negativity etc. Wouldn’t it be worth giving happiness at least half a chance ? Happiness is tapping you on the shoulder, always, don’t ignore it. Let it in and stop entertaining and empowering the negative. Change your life by changing your own thoughts.

You can practice it and prove it right or wrong. Life is about being happy, not sad. :))

Consciousness is Contagious

Each person has influence on the people they contact. We can reach other people who are still in fear and anger, distraction and addiction: we can reach those people through a contagion. Consciousness is contagious.
~James Redfield

When James Redfield talks about consciousness, he's talking about a virus that can heal the world. Redfield is a keen observer of the cultural shifts that are taking place now, and he sees some positive signs. In his latest work *The Twelfth Insight: The Hour of Decision*, Redfield makes his case that raising our consciousness, individually and collectively, is the key to lifting our planet above a sense of fear and separation.
