Howdy Folks and Welcome to November!


It’s a basic metaphysical principle that our biography becomes our biology.  The stories in our mind, and what we focus on have a tremendous effect on our bodies. 

Although scientists previously thought the brain was the only place to retain memories, they’ve recently discovered that many cells all over the body – including the heart and stomach – contain actual memories of events and emotions!  If we don’t’ consciously clear our mind and emotions, and the energy they emit, they get stored within our bodies. And the negative ones especially transform into dis-ease, discomfort, aches and pains. 

So how do we clear ourselves of these things?

Meditation, prayer, energy work such as Reiki, and mind/body/spirit exercises such as yoga, tai chi, and qi gong are all excellent.   Another method that works wonders for moving the energy and emotions of our thoughts out of our bodies is Spiritual House Cleaning.  It literally moves everything out of our body and transfers it onto the page where we can release it mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically.

The results are amazing… especially when it comes from the heart.  You can literally feel a physical shift in your energy.  And those around you can feel the difference too, even if they’re not “sensitive.” 

The basic concept of Spiritual House Cleaning is to write a letter to God, the Universe or your Higher Self.  Come from the heart and spill your guts about everything going on in your life.  Then make a list of things to hand over and place it in God’s hands.  Next, do something to symbolically move it out of your hands such as putting it in a God Jar, burning it in a fire, or burying it in the ground.

Even if you journal regularly, Spiritual House Cleaning is very powerful when done as directed!

The beginning or end of the month is a wonderful time to do Spiritual House Cleaning.  If you’ve been with us a while, you’re probably familiar with this procedure in full, but for our newcomers, and those of you who need a refresher, here’s link to the complete directions.

Happy house cleaning with lighter, brighter, days ahead!

With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…

A New Entry From 'The Girl'
who wrote THE TRUTH, I'm Ten, I'm Smart and I Know Everything

I'm already working on more stories about 'The Girl'.  In fact, I'm hoping for a book about her to be published in China.  That book will contain lots of entries that have been hidden up to now.  Here is one:


" We got our report cards yesterday.  I got 2 C’s, 5 B’s and 4 A’s.  My parents were pleased.   They know how hard school really is.  I’m lucky to have parents that understand.  Today in school Angela told me she can’t talk on the phone for three months.  That’s her punishment for not getting better marks.  She got 4 C’s, 6 B’s and only 1 A.  I don’t think that is such a bad report card!

I hate her parents for making her feel so bad about herself and her marks and I hate them because I can’t talk to her every night.  She is my best friend.  I need to talk to her at night!  This is terrible and that’s the truth."

----

This excerpt is from a future edition of SmarTHE TRUTH, I'm Ten, I'm Smart and I Know Everything, is designed to elicit conversation about our marking system and also how parents handle and interpret children's report cards. 

What do you think?  Are you more like the girl's parents or more like Angela's? 

Please comment.

CHICKEN . . . NO ALA KING

Shari loves cook books. She loves to read the recipes, and imagine how each delectable dish will taste. She loves to look at the pictures and imagine putting artistic creations like that before her husband, Sam. He would enjoy each mouth full. She knows that.

And her kids would turn up their noses without sampling a bite. She knows that, too.

"That’s just the way it is with my kids," Shari says. "If it’s got onions or peppers or mushrooms or any of the stuff that I like, they’re not interested."

Not that she hasn’t tried.  About 25 years ago Sam bought her a popular cook book, and she was thrilled with it. She spent hours reading and re-reading the recipes, and selecting the best ones to try out on her family. It didn’t take long for her to figure out that any dish featuring onions, peppers or mushrooms was going to get a thumbs-down from the peanut gallery.

"For years I tried to get them to eat some of these things," Shari said. "I would blend the onions and cut mushrooms to the smallest portions possible. Peppers were hard to camouflage because of their color. But no matter how hard I tried to hide them, the kids always found them – and that would be the end of that dish."

Take, for example, her favorite recipe from the cook book Sam had given her: Chicken ala King. It had all kinds of tasty things in it – including, of course, mushrooms, onions and green peppers. She followed the recipe precisely the first time she made it, and for her it was love at first bite. Such a wonderful mix of flavors and textures! But the children picked out the offensive little tidbits right away, and would have nothing to do with Chicken ala King.

Shari tried everything she could think of to save the recipe intact: coaxing, threatening, bribery, sabotage, trickery. No luck. One Sunday, the family hadn’t eaten in nearly 24 hours and everyone was hungry. It seemed like the perfect time to bring out the Chicken ala King.

"I’d rather starve!" said Robbie.

"That can be arranged!" said Sam.

Shari prepared the meal, but she and Sam were the only ones to eat.

"I just couldn’t enjoy it," Shari said. "My kids were hungry and I felt so selfish."

So Shari started tweaking the recipe. Out came the onions, mushrooms and peppers. In came . . . well . . . chicken. And rice.

"My Chicken ala King recipe pretty much became chicken and rice," Shari said. "No ala King. The kids liked it, but it always seemed a little...you know…bland to me."

Earlier this year, however, Sam’s work took them to the Middle East. Their children, now young adults, opted to stay in the United States. It should come as no surprise that one of the first meals Shari prepared in their new apartment in Abu Dhabi was Chicken ala King.

"I was so excited," Shari said. "For the first time in years I was going to be able to prepare this recipe the way it was meant to be prepared."

She went to the local markets to carefully select all of the ingredients. She found some incredible mushrooms, onions and peppers. She hurried home and meticulously followed the recipe. It looked even better than the picture in the recipe book as she placed it on the table before her adoring husband, and the smells... oh my goodness... to die for.

Sam took a bite. He chewed slowly and deliberately (Sam is an engineer – he does EVERYTHING slowly and deliberately). He smiled at Shari, who anxiously awaited his verdict.

"Well," he said, "maybe if you add some green olives . . ."

Sam ducked as the cook book whizzed past his head.

No wonder Shari likes cook books so much!
