Your Thoughts

Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.

~ Mahatma Gandhi

Your thoughts create your reality is a term I have often heard. There were times I felt this was true and others times I questioned it.  Eventually, I came to know that it is true. Even the challenges, the bad things, the hard times in some way were recreated in our reality by our thoughts and feelings behind them. If you worry a lot, live in fear of things, these all have energy and behind that energy is a manifestation of what might be.

Now, I'm not saying you wish for bad things to happen. However, I am saying that sometimes the things that you wish for happen as a combined result of the thoughts you have had.

For example: Imagine you are having a bad week. Everything seems to be going wrong in your life. The stress is building in your life and you just wish for peace!

Wishing for peace sounds like an easy and wonderful wish, does it not?

It sounds like the inner peace that one might desire?

What if that peace come with a price to get it? What if you had to lose everything in your life to find a new appreciation for all that is around you? What if your life was turned upside down and inside out and looked worse than that bad week? Maybe a sudden illness stopped your world to give you time to reflect. What if you lost everything?

Then one day you find yourself without all those stresses. Perhaps you find yourself without the job you hated. Maybe and unfortunately a loved one passed away and even though you loved them dearly, their stressful life made yours stressful too. What if your fear of loosing someone or something was so powerfully strong, you did. What if everything you knew as you knew it was gone.

It might look worse. It might look and feel bad. You may not understand what happened and think it is worse. Perhaps you decide to look at life differently one morning. You realize you have not stopped and smelled the roses in a long time. You slow down and notice life. You take the time to breathe, to pray, to chat to neighbors. Maybe you cry more, releasing pent up emotions you did not even realize were stored so deeply that a huge relief is felt upon your heart.

Now that you've raised your awareness to the truth around you there is a realization that  all those 'little' things were not so important. You begin to appreciate life in general more. You watch how you move and flow easier in your day. You may still be looking for a new job, you may still be grieving the loss of a loved one, you may still be wondering why you lost your home. However, you realize that there is actually less stress in your life. One day maybe you are sitting at a lake by yourself. No one is around. You watch the shimmering of the sun creating sparkles on the water. You look around and witness nature and the peace of it all. You realize you are all alone. You are at peace.

You laugh. You cry. You awaken. You realize you got what you asked for in life. 

Be mindful of your thoughts. Wake up with gratitude.

Napoleon Hill, Author of Think and Grow Rich states

Whatever the mind can conceive & believe, it CAN ACHIEVE!!!

~ What is your hearts true desire?

~ What goals will you set to obtain it?

~What will you give back once you receive it?

The energy you place behind your thoughts is powerful!

My wish for all of us today is to manifest our true hearts desire in divine alignment with our Creator. To give thanks for all that we have and all that we receive. To live in a place of love and be kind to everyone. To walk gently upon this earth and be in harmony with all creatures.

A Healing Journey

Stillness

In the stillness, the quiet places, there is creation.

Are you going through a time when there seems to be stagnant energy in your life? You wonder why aren't things happening for you? You meditate and pray and yet still you think nothing is happening. You ask yourself why? You wonder if you are doing anything wrong?

I am reminded of a great lesson I had when I was writing my book. I spent many long winter months sitting at my computer sharing my story.  I worked diligently to listen to the messages as the story unfolded. The words were flowing. I was grateful.

However, my personal and business life seemed to be still. Not much else was going on or at least I thought so. I wondered what was up with this? I decided to take a break from the writing and go out on my porch. At the time I lived on a lake. I looked out to observe. Nature 'appeared' dormant. No leaves on the trees. The sky was perfectly blue, no clouds passing by, the lake was like a sheet of glass and not a breeze in the air. Everything appeared to be standing still. I said a prayer and asked for a sign so I can continue having faith something was indeed happening. Suddenly a gentle breeze came blowing across the lake and the ripples were headed in my direction. I was reminded that even when we don't see things happening there is creation, there is movement and there are many signs if we show up to observe. I knew something was coming my way!

I went back into my house and felt confident something good was going to happen soon to make a significant shift in my life. Within minutes I opened my email to a note from the Hay House Radio Producer, Shelley Anderson. She dropped me a line to let me know that the non profit I helped found, Massage Without Borders, was going to receive a small check in Louise Hay's name. She also proceeded to say they don't typically talk to the recipients but spirit was guiding her to chat with me. WOW! The energy in me built so quickly my body was shaking. I responded quickly with my phone number and no sooner had the send button gone across cyberspace, my phone was ringing. Our chat was lovely and exciting. I was invited to be a guest host on the Hay House Radio Show "Acts of Kindness".  Shelley asked me to talk about the mission of Massage Without Borders and how this organization began and what we do to help our massage community. When she realized I was also writing my book and publishing through the sister company, Balboa Press she got excited. Shelley asked me to talk about my book too! Oh My Gosh, what an amazing opportunity just rippled right through the phone! I was jumping in my chair.

Remember, even when you don't see things happening in your life it takes time to root, to grow and to blossom. Focus on the positive outcome. Focus on your dreams to serve your highest potential. Find what is out of balance in your life and align that daily. When the time is in right order you will be shown. Remember, not everything you want will serve you the best. Don't be disappointed if you don't see things happening the way you thought. Count your blessings for all the wonderful gifts you do receive in life. Watch it shift and provide you with opportunities for your growth and success. The angels and opportunities will appear when you are ready to receive.

Aloha Blessings,
Gloria

Seduction

Each day I am being guided to share messages with you. 

This one was a bit of a surprise. However, once I realized exactly what it meant, it all made perfect sense and is in the divine order, of course.

Do you find yourself giving up on goals?

Are relationships exciting in the beginning and suddenly end leaving you confused or hurt?

Do you feel worthy of attaining your goals and dreams?

If you are dealing with any type of relationship issue or feelings of lack, disappointment or unworthiness, look at this and it may provide you with clarity.

You are capable of reaching your full potential once you know what is blocking you in your life.

Set your goals and watch what you do in your life.

Is there passion in your goal?

Do you give up easily? Do you understand how to attract your goals? 

Don't get seduced! Get Inspired!

What miracle will you create in your life?

Create and inspired successful life!

Receiving

Have you been brought up with the concept it is better to give than receive?
Do you find yourself caring for others more than you allow them to care for you?
Do you have a belief system that you are unworthy of being successful or wealthy?


I would like to share a true story.

A few years ago on the island of Kauai I met Kumu Brenda Ignacio. She was telling me how her kumu Nana Veary once called her an 'Ugly Receiver".  This terminology hit her so hard that she vowed to change this in her life.

I, too, was an ugly receiver. I loved to give and give and take care of people all my life. When others wanted to 'gift' me with something I said I don't need it.  It brings me back to a place of listening to my own mother when we would ask her what she wanted for her birthday or christmas. Her response was always "just peace and quiet".


I met a man, a former Beverly Hills Surgeon on the island of Molokai about 14 years ago. He had recently lost his wife as I did my husband. He invited a group of us to take a helicopter ride to the island  of Ni'ihau, the forbidden island. One is not allowed to visit this island. The only way is to hire a private helicopter (expensive) and spend about 1 hour on the side of the island where there is no one living.
I refused many times. He was sad.  I did not 'feel worthy" perhaps to receive such a gift as I knew the cost was high. Perhaps I thought there was a hidden agenda? A few days later he called me when I was back home on the island of Kaua'i. He asked again. I could hear the sadness in his voice that he did not want to go alone. So I went. He allowed me to sit in the front seat for a better view. He told me he wanted to get me one of the precious necklaces made from the rare shells made on that island. They, too are very expensive. I expressed I did not need this and the ride was sufficient.

So, now I must backstep. The reason I went to Molokai was I heard a voice on the beach one day (in my head), that I must go. There was actually a giggle along with the message. I asked for 3 signs to validate this message. Yes, I received them.  I immediately went to the travel agent to book 2 tickets to this island for myself and a friend. Curiously, the agent had a puzzled look on her face and said there was no availability . She came back in a few minutes to say the Hula Festival was happening at that time and perhaps that was why the seats were sold out. As we chatted her expression changed to amazement. She said "you won't believe this, 2 seats just opened?"  I did not hesitate to say "I will take it". With no available cars or hotels, I purchased the tickets.

Long story short, I listened to a message. A hotel space opened at half price and a convertible car became available. I thought I was going to a Hula Festival.  It was because I listened to this message I met this surgeon. We enjoyed a wonderful day together. He seemed so happy. Later we went into the shop where they sold those special necklaces. He told me to pick one out. I said "oh no, I don't need one".  He said "money is no object". I did not have a concept of that in my life.  I still responded I could not accept this gift. Then he said "Think of it this way. A famous person needed their gallbladder out, I removed it, they are paying for the necklace." I chuckled. I was very resistant obviously. Then he gently took my hand and said let's go outside. It was here that he said "I was sent to teach you how to receive". Oh my gosh, I cried and shook and cried.  Today, I have a beautiful rare necklace to remind me of this kind and gentle soul who started to teach me about receiving.

On the last day of his visit to the islands he thanked me. Me? He said I was the first person in his life that did not expect or want anything from him. He shared I was the first person who spent time with him without an agenda or asking for his money. WOW! How amazing this man was able to open to receive my generosity too. If I had not opened to receive he would not have opened to experience what I can give. Such a beautiful exchange of energy

My journey did not stop here. On the island of Oahu, Kumu Carol Leialoha also taught me about receiving. It was quite comical actually. We constantly gifted each other for 3 days little trinkets, food, etc. It was like Christmas morning every hour. I found myself having a challenge receiving all her little gifts as I wanted to be the one giving.

I learned that if it brings me joy to give, then surely it brings others the same joy. Who am I to limit their joy?

Recently, I found myself in a situation needing more help. My sisters came to help me move, pack and unpack. I was grateful and this was easy for me to receive. Then they started to purchase me items they knew I could use for my office space and it was uncomfortable for me to have them spend their money. They wanted to help, I cried. Every night I went to sleep crying. I realized that I was an UGLY RECEIVER.  I was having a challenge allowing them to spend money on me. Why me? Well geesh Gloria you spent money on people all your life! You asked in your prayers to be open to receiving! Well Girl, it was sent, now receive!

I realize that many of us in the care giving positions may have this challenge. I have heard it often from my colleagues and students. To create the balance in our life, in our world it is a yin and yang. A giving and a receiving. Who are we to stop this natural flow?

So open to receiving the gifts that are ready and available for you. Open to allowing others the joy of giving and caring for you!  Be a BEAUTIFUL RECEIVER!

Enjoy the journey ~
Gloria
