Day 12...sharing Daily Teachings and ©Stef's thoughts Jan. 30, 2009

Hey dear ones..

I hope you all slept well...I really did.
and get to spend the day with my hubby...at least for a few hours..
rare..but nice....the best part about him not working..lol
I will take some really special time today for my journal..as I am not working
for 2 days, and really see what I write. I love to write, for me the flowing
of the pen, as compared to typing sometimes...allows me to ..oh I don't know
how to explain it..but I type everything and well...but writing for me is more
personal as it comes from my mind to my hand onto the paper...my messengers..
my sent emails..are all my life's and daily journals I type as I respond
to my friends and people around the world...but writing in my journal, is
really amazing for me to go back and look...

Persist, persists, persist, and you will reach a point where the principles
of The Secret become second nature to you. You will be come so
aware of the words that people speak, especially when they speak
of things they don't want. You will become so aware of the
words that you speak.

When you reach this point, it is a sign that you are becoming more and
more aware! You are becoming more consciously aware!


For me this is so wonderful to read, for I have taken classes and been to lectures
and been to weekend and week long conferences on so many types of positive,
health, psycho cybernetics, spiritual life enhancing things..
as my mother worked for the A.R.E. Clinic for 17 years.
in Arizona..so I was raised with a new attitude a new thinking, as well as for the
first 10 years of my life raised American Baptist, then to Congregational, then to Unity
(not Unitarian, which is ok but that was not Unity)...then to so many different faiths
I started to learn about, as my soul was seeking something that made sense...and yet
gave me some of my inside inbred principles of God...so I sought after many things,
listening to many many people from around the world...and as much as it all is so
connected...for everyone is on their own spiritual journey in this human existence...
The principles of The Secret..have sort of brought it all together...not that there isn't
more to learn, but as I said in the beginning, things come to us when we are ready...
and if we allow ourselves to be open to listening..to hearing with not only our ears
but our hearts and souls, we can help this journey along in this lifetime....
and not everyone is ready...some are in great great lesson learning, life situations,
far challenging than anything I have been through...I thank you all so much for being here,
for me ...as much as my spiritual journey is mine...I have always loved having people
walking beside me with similar goals and different thoughts and idea of how they feel
and think..how life effects them..and they effect life...
I have so much become more consciously aware of what I speak...especially
in public and with people who don't know me so well....so this is wonderful to read,
as I try to put allllll I have learned to some kind of use..not only for me, but for others.

Life is so precious...and living it to the fullest at least sometimes..is so wonderful.
and part of that is quieting and being still within our minds and spirits so we
can take all we have learned and sort through some of it...so we can start
realizing exacting what we do want...and bring those thoughts to the forefront,
so the Universe can bring them to us.


Have a beautiful wonderful day..

warmest hugs

Stephanie

Day 11...sharing Daily Teachings and ©Stef's thoughts Jan. 29, 2009

Hey dear ones...

I hope you slept wonderfully..I did...was hard to wake up...lol

I did get back to my journal yesterday and it was nice to sit in my car at lunch
and write in it. This one is a beautiful journal..called a journal..that has a giraffe design
on it with purple on the pages, (I love giraffes and purply stuff
I happen to have found it last year after the holidays, and now
is the perfect time to use it....as well as keeping my gratitude's
there and in my The Secret book too.
whenever I think of one to write down, through out the day.


©Day 11...Daily Teachings

Here is a simple, powerful precess that you can do everyday to bring yourself into positive harmony with the Universe and the law of attraction.

Sit down comfortably. Notice how you are feeling, and now relax your entire body. When you haverelaxed your whole body, then relax it some more. Now relax it even more. And relax it more! Repeat this deeper relaxing seven times, each time relaxing as much as you can.
When you have finished, notice the difference in how you are feeling, compared with howyou felt when you began.

Now you are more in harmony with the Universe and the law of attraction.


Now many of us do relaxing techniques often, but keep in mind this is a part of
this journey. To allow yourself time each day to do this. and remember it says to
"Notice how you are feeling" and at the end it says to "notice the difference in
how you are feeling, compared with how your felt when you began."
I have often taught people how to meditate or just to simply relax. the process above,
is not instant..you need to allow 15-20 for it each day at least.
The seven times part is something I have always said too...and to use your breath
to help you relax...find a quiet place for these few minutes...
close your eyes....breathe in through your nose slowly deeply for 4 slow counts..
hold it for 4 slow counts...(allow your breath to gather your stuff, you may wish
to let go of...big or small) then out through your mouth for 4 slow counts...releasing
blessing..thanking...push out the last bit.....do this 7 times...then stay in that state
for a little bit...a few minutes..some days more minutes..in this state you can pray..
you can ask for some guidance on something going on in your life...and you can
listen, to what is coming in...what thoughts ...many times in this state, I get answers.
Then quietly move your feet, your hands...open your eyes a bit slowly..allow yourself
to come back softly...and to remember what came through.
The first time people actually try this..they have told me often..."Wow I was so relaxed"
It is amazing how when you get to doing this for yourself everyday, it will help you
in your everyday life, and as it says..keep you in harmony with the Universe...as it flows
no matter what we are doing thinking or saying...harmony is always better ...


have a Beautiful safe wonderful day
warmest hugs

Day 10...sharing Daily Teachings and ©Stef's thoughts Jan. 28, 2009

Hey friends...

Wow day 10..how time flies heh...
it is a beautiful rainy day here and suppose to be 60s..that sounds ok..

I did not write in my journal for the past 2 days...and I am only telling you all this for
I have to say...I can feel it...the not writing...the not expressing of myself and my life..
I can tell you this I will not do this again...but today I will sit and think about the past 2 days..
and how the Daily Teachings effected me in..hind site...I will continue to give myself..the time
of a day..for me...for my spiritual connection..to my everyday life...as I am on this journey too.
I have to simply keep my book with me, and I did not for the past 2 days...truly makes a difference
for me...so I urge you all to carry your journals with you, if you are not at home during the day.
As I mentioned last night also...please save these daily sends on the Daily Teachings..in a file
or folder on your computers ok...for a reference to go back to if you need to..ok..espeically
perhaps in like...6 months...


©Day 10...Daily Teachings

You are a unique and magnificent human being. Of all the billions of people on the planet,there is not another YOU, and your very existence is vital to the functioning of our Universe,because you are one part of the whole Universe. All that you see, and all that there is,could not exist without you!


And yes..it could exist and would exist...but what they mean, to me..is it would notexist, the way it would today..with you in it...and here...from all and who you touch today.

I write often in a lot of the emails/letters I send out to my groups and friends, how special
they are, and I know so many don't realize how true this is....and not many people in their lives
tell them this....they simply don't hear it enough....They have no idea of the impact
of their life on the planet...and in the Universe. If people did, the world would be
lifted to a higher level I feel. for they would know and understand how vital and important
they really are. We are exactly where we are suppose to be, doing exactly what we
are suppose to be doing, with exactly the person/persons we are suppose to be doing
things with......NOW...the difference is in that free will thing...and how we chose to effect
our world and the world around us... but life would not be the same with us gone..
and you can know this and maybe understand this by thinking upon these thoughts..

When someone passes from this lifetime, back to spirit...does it not effect OUR world..the world
of the people they worked with, the world of the people met at park or a beach...even a
night club a store...let alone their families and friends...who loved them soo much...
that spirit...that entity ...YOU...is no longer here...to make any effect on who is left here.
And just for a few minutes, think upon how you not being here tomorrow..would effect
the world...through your family..your friends..your work..your play.. your animals..your
future grandkids...etc ...etc....etc.....and as I say so often too...We are soo connected...
So never underestimate the power and impact YOU
have, not only on your family and closest friends...but this world.
You are famous in your own right...declare that and let it amaze you..to how
wonderful and special you are....everyday.

Have a beautiful safe loving fun day

warmest hugs n love

Day 9...sharing Daily Teachings and ©Stef's thoughs Jan. 27, 2009

Hey Y'all..

I hope your nights rest was wonderful...

Remember, all you do..all you know..and all you are seeking
is already within you...but as you journey through this life,
it will make it's way to the top and out, if you allow it.
Remember to allow yourself time each day, to be still
to quiet yourself, this allows you to listen.
Then in your journals...write...let it flow...see what comes
after asking in quiet meditation...the answers to the questions.
Pay attention to your dreams and your feelings...they are some of
your best tools.


©Day 9...Daily Teachings

We attract to ourselves, what we hold inside. Every circumstance, every person, andevery situation that we attract and experience is based on what is inside of us.Could you ask for a more magnificent system that this?

Your life is a reflection of what you hold inside you, and what you hold inside
you is always under your control.


Humm...isn't that an interesting thought...and so true. So what do we do with this
knowledge, this system. How do we use it in our everyday life, to better this life.
In just the knowing that it is already inside us..and we have control...is a powerful tool.
But sometimes we are not sure how to use that power, these tools. That is where....in being still
and quieting yourself...lies great great knowledge and power, for you to use, that will come through.
So in knowing this, we can say, "what do I need to learn here" with this person,
this situation, this experience, so if it is an unpleasant one, I don't have to repeat it.
The wonderful experiences, are easy to take, but there is still always a lesson within them.
Our being still each day, is so important to gaining the knowledge we have already
within us...to help bring it out and allow it to be used for living our lives.


Have a Beautiful safe day

warmest hugs
Stephanie

Day 8...sharing Daily Teachings and ©Stef's thoughts Jan. 26, 2009

Hey Friends

Well another new week...how nice..
life is moving along for sure.
I have to say, you all are so amazing in your energy to do this..
for just the twelve of us, to take the time and energy each day
to commit to this great life change within us...well we are like the
ripples that go out to the whole lake..from one little stone thrown in
the water...we are the ripples that help the world and make difference...
one person at a time....

I hope your weekend was wonderful and you were able to take some
time for you....Keep up with your journals, your gratitude's and your time for you, each day.
Remember we are creating change, and as Hanneica mentioned in her letter
to the group...this in particular..

"Even though I am aware of all the knowledge in "The Secret"knowledge is not the be all and end all without the
action of putting it into practice it is worth very little."..(thank you for that sweetie)

This is soooo true...it could not have been said better, and as we remember each day,
we are in a time of change, not only for the planet but for our own personal journey's,
and putting this into practice each day...helps it to all become more automatic...
as we go through this lifetime.

©Day 8 ...Daily Teachings

There are two words that, when spoken, have the most unfathomable power to completely change your life. Two words that, when they pass your lips, will be the cause of bringing absolute joy and happiness to you. Two words that will create miracles in your life, wipe out negativity, and bring you abundance in all things.Two words that, when uttered and sincerely felt, will summon all the forces in theUniverse to move all things for you.

There are just two words standing between you, happiness, and the life of your dreams.

THANK YOU.


Now, are these two words really that powerful!! Think upon this...consider this,
in all we are doing here, we are creating great change on the outside, that is
already within us...and when you even for one minute consider why you would
say thank you to someone, or expect a thank you from someone...what was the
original driving thoughts behind that...For me, it comes completely from Gratitude.
So when we think of it as that, and the feelings, remember the feelings within us
are what we touching up on everyday in the journey.. and the feelings of gratitude from the
words Thank You ..whether given or received...truly is powerful.
So I ask you to consider today...these words...the two ...Thank You.
and what they mean...for we often say then and hear them lightly...but as I said
the original driving force/power/thoughts/etc behind them..are very strong.
And as we are learning to replace the negative thoughts and energies with Grateful ones..
these two words are so very powerful for us.

I wish you all a beautiful Monday
stay warm n safe

much love
Stephanie

"Happiness depends upon ourselves"

ARISTOTLE (384-322 BC)


I find that this is so true...no matter what we're doing or who we're with,
no matter our ups and our downs..we all have them..
Happiness must come from within...and I offer to you...
Allow it...through fun and joy through tears and fears..
allow your happiness to shine..feel it..
at least during some parts your day..each day..
it's right there...Always.



Please feel free to write into the group if you wish, how your week was...
any changes you may wish to share...this is up to you..

Oh the weekend how wonderful..

there are some members that are having a hard time getting into
the site/group, so hopefully I can get with them today and help them,
and help them catch up from this first week.

Is that a wonderful comforting thought, or what.
It gives me great peace, as I close my eyes and allow the words to
meld into my mind and my spirit.

Day 5...sharing Daily Teachings and ©Stef's thoughts Jan. 23, 2009

Hey all

I hope you Thursday was wonderful and now into Friday...
we will continue the Secret daily teachings into the weekends
as well...
Please do continue to write everyday, what you are grateful for.
replace those thoughts of fear or negativity with grateful thoughts
as it will become automatic in time.

©Day 5... Daily Teachings

Look for the gifts in everything, especially when you are facing what appears
to be a negative situation. Everything that we attract causes us to grow, which meansthat ultimately everything is for our own good.
Adjusting to a new path and a new direction will require new qualities and strengths, and these qualities are always exactly what we need to acquire in order to accomplish the great things ahead in our life.

For me this means...well ya know when you recognize that you are where you
are in a situation/job/relationship etc...because of what happened, and had
it not happened that way..even though at the time it was so hard...you would
not be where you are today...in a jobs, in relationship, etc.
so many things flow together..and in the end..it is good for us.

and as it says...it will require new qualities and new strengths..keep this mind
as we go and grow this next year...
New strengths..I love that...sometimes we sooo can't see ahead...and are in
such fear...but as I said..later we can go..ohhh ok.now I understand...
not always easy for sure...but always possible..as we draw on new qualities and strengths,
already within us...just waiting to be used.

I wish you all a wonderful peaceful fun ..fun day

lots of love n hugs

Day 4 ...sharing Daily Teachings and ©Stef's thoughts Jan. 22, 2009

Hey Friends

I hope you Wed was super...

Keep writing your gratitude's...I have to tell you..I started writing all of mine
in the front and back pages of the book, there a 2-3 blank pages in the front an the
back and I wanted for me, for it to be connected right there to the book..
I keep adding stuff everyday, things I am so grateful for.
Also on the first blank page in the back, is where I have been
writing my wants...I do also have the notebook, but for me
who is always on the go, and people are wanting to know more and more
about the book, I have found it is easier to carry the book with me, and
write it in...

©Day 4...Daily Teachings

The Universe is guiding you and communicating with you in every second of
your life. It is responding to your thoughts and it is giving you invaluable
feedback through your feelings. Your feelings are cosmic communications!
The good feelings mean, GOOD FOR YOU. The bad feelings are getting your
attention so that you will Change what you are focusing on.

Tune in to the cosmic communication that is with you every day. You are
never alone, not for one second. The Universe is right with you at every
step, guiding you. But you have to listen!


Sometimes, this is hard to understand, but remember you are allowing
change, you are wanting change in your life...that is the difference
you may have not had a year ago..a month ago. You want a difference
in your life, so continue to allow it to happen, and think of these words
of the Daily Teachings with an open MInd, a mind that is seeking a better life.


Have a beautiful safe day

Hey Friends...

I hope you night was wonderful...with some good dreams..

Please keep up with you daily gratitude journals..
they are for you...

©Day 3...Daily Teachings

Whatever feelings you have within you are attracting your tomorrow.
Worry attracts more worry. Anxiety attracts more anxiety. Unhappiness attracts more unhappiness. Dissatisfaction attracts more dissatisfaction.
AND
Joy attracts more joy. Happiness attracts more happiness. Peace attracts
more peace. Gratitude attracts more gratitude. Kindness attracts more kindness.
Love attracts more LOVE.

Your job is an inside one. To change your world,

all you have to do is change the way
you feel inside. How easy is that?



It is quite easy if you allow it. Remember you have to think of your feelings, feel them, pay
attention to them, then you..YOU can change them.
It is so many who don't recognize their own feelings...so what is there to fix!!!
I will talk about recognition a lot. it is so important.
You can always, always do your breathing ...7 breaths in through your nose
for 4 counts slowly..hold for 4 counts slowly..let it gather some of your stuff...
then out through your mouth for 4 counts slowly...releasing blessing thanking the teachers.

I know we all are so busy in life...but give yourself a little bit of time each day
to do this work, this important work you have chosen, at this time in your life.
this is for YOU.

Hey everyone..

I hope your night was well..
we got some beautiful snow...not a lot but some.

Did everyone get in your notebooks..what you want..
and what you don't want...so you can see the difference..
and how they effect each other...

©Day 2...Daily Teachings

To change your life fast, use the gratitude to shift your energy.
When you put all of your energy into gratitude,
you will see miracles take place in your life.
To change things quickly,
commit to writing 100 things each day, until you see the change.
And FEEL the gratitude. Your power is in the FEELING that
you put into the words of gratitude.

Yes each day in your journals...write 100 things you are grateful for...even things
like having toilet paper, or ketchup or a glass to drink from..everything you
are grateful for and FEEL gratitude. This is a very important part of you journey
here. We really can think of 100 things a day...we really can. Doing this will change
your energy and give you incredible power, as at some point there will be
a shift in your thoughts and energy, effected by this in everything in your life.

Remember your journal is ..your journal...
it is your life as your go through this year and in the shifting.

In the book, Dr. Joe Vitale says this...
"Thoughts are sending out that magnetic signal that is drawing the parallel back to you"
and here is a quote from the book from Charles Hannel (1866-1949)
"The predominant thought or the mental attitude is the magnet, and the law is that like
attracts like, consequently, the mental attitude will in variably attract such conditions as
correspond to its nature"

what does that mean...to me it means..every thought we send out to the Universe,
attracts everything out there that is on the same level...and that basically what you
send out comes right back to you, as you are that thought's source...so
why not think good positive thoughts...and shift our negative thoughts as often
as we can. Now doing this is not instant, we have to rethink it, almost everyday,
in every situation, for we tend to think the negative..and that is what we open
ourselves up for. Give it a try for this time, to shift all thoughts to only positive ones.
on every situation and to not react out of fear and what we don't want...but
again what we do want..in every situation.

wishing you all a beautiful day
warm hugs
Stef

Hey friends..
and welcome to this group

We all are here to learn and share, from each other and from within ourselves.
If you have not joined our Yahoo Group, from which we will be communicating to each other,
if you wish. please do...here is the link for address...just click on it...then click on
Join this Group
if you need any help with this, please let me know.
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Sharing_The_Secret2/
Please remember, this is not about spending money to get the book, movie,
etc. it is about that feeling you got when I sent out this notice of this group..
remember that feeling...recognize it, and the change you felt that stirred you
to this....recognition is important and is so ok.

...
I did say that you need to commit to this for a year, and you really do. I want you all to think
about why you wanted to do this, what moved you into wanting to change something about
your life. When we chose to make a change, we must consider why we want this, what
within us, made us choose to even consider a change. That is the driving force within you
to recognize.....you want something different, something to move you....
and that my friend, is so ok. It is the beginning of a shift, of a change, of recognizing
a need within us...many don't recognize things, they go day after day, being unhappy,
unfulfilled and wondering why. The biggest thing I got out of reading the book
The Secret and seeing the movie, was how simple it was...the whole idea of what
it is all about, it's so simple...as it is about what you think, is what you bring to you.
As I said that is what I got out of it...now how simple is that...well
it is the POWER that drives us...our very thoughts are what get us to our next step,
to our next movement, to our next breath....it is so powerful...and we must learn to think
what we want and not what we don't or what we fear...and that is lesson to learn.
Sound simple...for today please consider what you are thinking, about you, meaning
how you look, how you eat, how you plan your next move, how you plan your tomorrow,
and your week...and your life, for this next year...what do you WANT..think about what you want.
So many, don't know what they want...they think they do...but I want you to write down,
in your notebook for today...what you want in life..everything. Then prioritize it and
think about it today...you can go back and change something, add more, even write
down the ridiculous, but write what you want in life...in your body, your job, your home,
the people around you...anything...everything. Now, before you do this, close your eyes
and take some deep breaths...7 of them..slowly in for 4 counts, hold for 4 counts...
release for 4 counts...7 times..and while you are doing, be thinking...what do I want.
Then write, what you don't want, that is in your life now...separate papers within your notebook.
keep this notebook with you, it can be a $1.00 notebook from walmart, doesn't have to
be any fancy...but it is your notebook, you will look back from time to time,
and you will see change.

©Day 1...Daily Teachings

The Secret contains clear principles on how to live your life in accordance with the natural laws of the Universe, and the most important thing for any person to do is to LIVE IT. You
can only become the Master of your life by LIVING IT.
As we travel through a year of teachings, the clarity, understanding, and wisdom you
will receive every day will help you live the laws that govern human beings, so you
may truly become the Master of your life.
May the joy be with you.

Sound easy, LIVING YOUR LIFE...are you living it the way you want...
that is why you're here...to make a change. Even through your faith
your religion, your belief in everything you believe in...you are here wanting a change.
please consider that, and know we all are here to help one another make that change.

As I said, please get this book...The Secret
you can order it online or get it at many book stores.
you can even watch the moving online for I think $4.95
if I had, I would send it you all, I don't...it used to be free to see online.
and maybe it is somewhere, you can do a search too.
but you need to see it and/or read it..and that doesn't mean if you don't get it
today or this week, that you can't do this group...for you can...but please get it
as soon as you can ok....so to have more of an understanding.

When you join the group we can talk to each through the group, if any of you want
to do this privately, that is fine also. I can also put your replies to me, in the group.
this is stress free, it is an open group, with loving people here. I know most of you
very very well, and the love and care within here, will touch you all.

I wish you a wonderful day, and I look forward to this journey with you.
We will learn from each other, no one is the leader, we all can be the teachers
in different days, as we read from each and learn....but most important
we will learn from within ourselves what we want..and how to recognize that,
and to stop thinking and living what we don't want....

Today also please send in your introduction about yourself..why you are here
and what you want...we will do this once a month, and see what changes
happen, by our growth. If you are not in the Yahoo group yet, send this to me
and I will share it there....If you need help with getting in..let me know, ok..smiles.

with much love, as we all are so connected
take care
Namaste
Stephanie
