Can Intention Change The World?

As a Healer I use Intention in my practice each day. You don’t have to be a Healer or Coach or Therapist or anything of the like to know and use Intention in your daily life.

I found this short (less than 2 minutes) video today on the subject of change and intention.

Take a look and listen and let me know what you think!

Can intention change the world – or your world? How do you use the power of intention? What does it mean for you?

Let’s continue the conversation below!

I’m A Geek.

Yup. Grade A, Government Inspected, Full-Fledged and proud of it Geek. That’s me!

How do I know it? Well, for one, I have three desktop PC’s, two Macs, a PC laptop and a Mac laptop. I LOVE computers!

Secondly, I can sit at said computers for hours on end without proper food or hydration and be happy as a Lark. Did I mention that I LOVE computers?

Anyway, with my Geekdom now professed let me see if I can make a blog point or two.

One of my favorite people on Twitter and on the internet is Chris Pirillo (@chrispirillo). Chris has been making cool things happen online since 1992 and one of his coolest sites is called -> Geeks! While tweeting away today I saw a link to a blog post on Geeks! by Eric Fox entitled Inconvenient Conveniences.

Eric basic question is – are all the conveniences we so richly have making our lives, in fact, more stressful, crazy and tiresome? He states a need that I have posted about on this blog recently – our need to slow down.

Hear him please:

People around the world are moving so fast, trying to do so much, that humanity as a whole is slowly choking itself with its own progress. We're trying to cram so much into a day, so much into our minds that we don't know how to do anything else. Children are soon going to be taught two languages from the moment they enter school, just to keep up, and some already do. What we need to learn how to do, more than anything else, is to slow down.

For too long I lived this way. Daily grind. Sixteen hour days building businesses while working jobs that I hated. Two years ago I hit the wall. No more.

Eric said it best: People are supposed to smell the flowers that they plant.

Sniff. Sniff.

Weekend Wishes For You and Me

As you go about your plans, or lack thereof this weekend carry a few thoughts with you:

1. Know that you are appreciated for what you do, but most especially for who you are.
2. Remember that there is only one way you can change your life and that is to change your mind.
3. Think about the beauty that surrounds you. Your yard, your family,the ocean, the mountains, your grandchildren, the yappy dog next door – and be thankful. It makes your heart feel better.
4. Consider this truth: In the end, what you give away, you truly do get to keep.
5. Slow down, look around, STOP, breathe and smile. Feel good?
6. As you interact with others, remember: What comes out of your mouth, comes out in your life.

That ought to be enough to keep us busy all weekend. ;)

Wishing you the best weekend ever – you ROCK!

Love, Peace and Bicycle Grease,

The Rhythm of the Spiritual Life

Thanks to my Priest, Fr. Nicholas Junker for inspiring this post.

The rhythm of a spiritual life – We Work. We Walk Away.

One of my favorite bloggers – Leo Babauta – from Zen Habits just wrote a beautiful post about our need to just be still:

We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no time for stillness — and sitting in front of a frenetic computer all day, and then in front of the hyperactive television, doesn’t count as stillness.

This comes at a cost: we lose that time for contemplation, for observing and listening. We lose peace.

Remember the rhythm: We Work. We Walk Away.

Are you taking the time you need to recharge and restore your rhythm?

If you are not – you are paying a cost.

Work. Walk Away.

Rhythm.

Peace,

Frank

Is The World Going To End In 2012?

As I’m sure you are aware, there is a lot of talk these days surrounding the notion that the world is going to end in 2012.

It’s everywhere - blog posts, articles in magazines, prophecy Conferences and water cooler discussions.

I must admit that I have put very little energy into the whole idea. I’m as game as the next guy to take a shot at a thought or two.

Actually, I’ll let two professionals who I truly respect tackle this hot potato. (okay – so I chickened out!)

Take a few minutes to watch and listen to Gregg Braden and Doreen Virtue. I think you will find their perspective refreshing!

What Do Intuition and a '68 Mustang Have in Common?

I’ve blogged a bit lately about intuition. I find the whole area fascinating and my personal intuitive development exhilarating. Working with both my mind and my spirit is just plain cool!

Here’s what I’ve got for tonight’s post:

1. Truth
2. Prayer
3. Meditation

The Truth of the Matter

I heard Matthew Muschott, an intuitive reader make this statement: Intuition development is first and foremost self study. You cannot develop your intuition without studying yourself.

I simply could not agree more. Without understanding your mental, physical and spiritual makeup as a human being on a journey through life, how could you truly feel, hear and see information coming to you? A strong statement, but I feel it to be truth.

The Role of Prayer in Intuition

While not being defined by it, I am a Catholic Christian. For many years prior to being received into the Catholic Church, I was a practicing Buddhist. I only say this to let you know where I come from in relationship to prayer.

While some forms of Buddhism can be practiced without the need for a Deity, I practiced with the understanding of something greater than myself – a Higher Power. Naturally in Catholicism I call that Higher Power – God.

Simply stated – I think you need a belief in something Other, call it Collective Consciousness or whatever, but in my book, you need a God to develop intuition.

Prayer is a vehicle. What? Prayer is where I ask for the information I need in order to practice my intuition. It is the 68 Mustang that blares it’s horn and says: “Hey, I need some help here!” Ponder that for a minute.

The Role of Meditation in Intuition

If prayer is the vehicle that allows me to ask for information, meditation is the place where I receive it. In prayer I ask, in meditation I receive. Asking and receiving sounds too simple huh? We’ll keep working with that one in future posts.

Before I finish, one word about meditation. Before you go getting all uptight about the concept and practice of meditation; just know that I believe meditation can be accomplished standing up, without the use of a mantra and in the everyday situations of life.

Ever receive an answer to a nagging question while in the shower? See what i mean? That’s what I’m talking about.

Truth: You have to study yourself in order to understand intuition.

Prayer: Is the Mustang that drives you to ask for information.

Meditation: Meditation is where you receive. Even in the shower.

How are you developing your Intuition? Do you pray and ask for information? How about meditation? What’s your experience with this whole idea?

Light to you and yours,

UPDATE: Our Daughter and Amazing Twitter Community

Many of you know that our daughter, Heather, was hospitalized yesterday for extremely high blood sugar levels - 600+ readings. She is a Type 2 Diabetic who struggles to keep her blood sugar in check.

A brief update as we are heading out to the hospital now: Heather was severely dehydrated and hard increased levels of acid in her body because of her kidneys not functioning well (a vicious circle with diabetes).

She has received IV Insulin and fluids all night, but her sugar levels are still hovering at 360 this morning. Her doctors are running more tests to determine why her levels are not coming down to acceptable levels.

We should find out more this morning.

Let me give a note of praise and thanks to our wonderful Twitter community of friends and followers. @ReikiAwakening alerted the twitterstream of what was going on and we received a flood of well wishes, prayers, thoughts and energy. Thank you. Thank You. THANK YOU!

I am often awestruck by the amazing people I meet on Twitter. The generosity, caring and love we felt last night is a shining example of what Twitter is all about – Relationships.

I’m blessed and thankful.

Thank you for indulging me with this personal post.

You are truly appreciated!

Reiki Changes Things

Reiki – the wonderful healing art of spiritually guided Life Force energy – changes things.The more I work with this energy, the more I know this to be true. It heals, but it also helps.

Reiki Heals

Let me explain what I mean here. Reiki healing energy can and does provide healing with such things as:

• Back pain
• Insomnia
• Cravings associated with addictions like smoking
• Detoxifying after cancer treatments
• Headaches and migraines
• Physical strength
• Stress

Reiki Helps

I have seen the healing power of Reiki. I have also seen what I call Reiki’s “helping ability.” This is where I feel the phrase “Reiki Changes Things” makes sense. Reiki helps with such things as:

• Family relationships
• A general sense of well being
• A consistent positive attitude
• A feeling of being loved
• A quiet spirit
• Inner balance
• Soothing anger and associated negative emotions
• Enhancing loving relationships

Reiki Changes Things Physically and Spiritually

I have been blessed to work with many people over the years with various healing modalities. The energy that surrounds each of us is powerful. Reiki, for me, is the most holistic healing and helping energy I have ever worked with. It affects every area of our physical and spiritual being.

I’d Love To Help!

Intuition: Three Easy Tips

"The only real valuable thing is intuition" ~Albert Einstein

“You must train your intuition - you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to say, what to decide” ~Ingrid Bergman

“I feel there are two people inside me - me and my intuition. If I go against her, she'll screw me every time, and if I follow her, we get along quite nicely.” ~Kim Basinger

Three Intuition Tips:

1. Value Intuition
2. Train Intuition
3. Follow Intuition

Enough said.

Intuitively yours,

Frank

I Am Hooked On Bruce Lee

“Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one's potential.” ~Bruce Lee (1940-1973) - Martial Artist, Actor, Writer

Bruce Lee Rules!

I was 10 years old in 1972 when Bruce Lee’s film Fist of Fury came out. Early in the film Bruce fights a group of Karate students and their Sensei. He kicks their butt – big time. I was hooked – big time!

It wasn’t until a few years ago that I realized just how interesting of a person Bruce was. He majored in Philosophy at the University of Washington and expressed his eclectic world view in several books he authored. Lee was more than a simple fighter. He was a thinker.

Bruce’s Philosophy

Take the quote above. When Bruce talked about expansion, he was doing more than simple motivation or self-help. He was talking about the very essence of a “quality human being.” Expansion and growth are what defined him – and it should be what defines each of us.

Are you at your fullest potential?

Me either.

Coming Expansion

I am a Kundalini Reiki Master/Teacher. Reiki will always be my foundation. But a Reiki Master is not all I am as a Lightworker.

Expansion has been on my mind lately.

For those of you who follow what I am doing and writing - look for a coming expansion. Look for it here in this blog and in my practice. Energy is being shifted into new and exciting avenues of growth and potential.

I’m excited.

Peace,

Frank

P.S. How can I help in your growth and expansion as a quality human being?
