Falling In Love

I just finished watching one of my favorite movies, Falling In Love.   I've lost count how many times I've seen this movie.  

As I watched, I wondered about fate, chance, destiny and whether some part of our lives have been programmed.  Do we choose our paths or is it destiny? Does the Law of Attraction work in all cases or is there more to life than we can even imagine?

Do we meet by chance?  How many chances do we get to meet with the one love in our life?  How many loves can be the one?  Is there more than one person/soul we are meant to be with?  Can we have successive real loves?

If we are married and meet this special person would it be enough to see them occasionally?  Would it be okay to sleep with them?  Or would it be best to walk away?  Is there one answer?  I don't feel there is one answer.  I don't believe anyone should judge another because who really knows?  There are so many various circumstances, so how could there be one answer, one way for everyone to "behave"?  
What is love? Why do people get married? Goodness there are so many different reasons.   So many different stories. 

What is your story? Is anyone brave enough to share?  

Of course you can always private message me on Facebook and share your story or email me at jeanmaurie@angelsloveyou.com  
Or maybe you just want to keep your story to yourself.  

What's Stopping you from Achieving your dreams? Is it Time To Take The Parking Brake Off Your Life…And Have More Fun!

Do you feel stuck, have projects you have to do but just can’t get around to working on them?

Do you start beating yourself up about procrastinating and call yourself lazy?

Do you feel overwhelmed and wonder if there is something wrong with you?

Not fun is it? 

What if it isn’t your fault? What if there is nothing wrong with you? What if you could find a new way to live your life more successfully with less struggle?

“First, it’s important to know that none of this is your fault! The struggle and pain you’ve been through isn’t because you’re bad or don’t deserve abundance. The reason you’ve been struggling is because a part of your brain has been fighting you.  Why would my brain fight me you ask?

There is a part of the brain, called the Primitive Brain that focuses on survival. Its main purpose is to protect you. This part of your brain has first dibs on all your resources. Your primitive brain will flood you with adrenaline and other chemicals to let you run faster than you ever thought possible to escape a bear. It can give you the strength and courage to fight a mugger or pull a car off a small child.”

My primitive brain tried to keep me safe when I was having a lot of surgeries as a child.  I was terrified but told not to cry, to be brave and be a good girl. So instead of letting my fears out I stuffed them and tried to be a good girl.   I couldn’t run away, I couldn’t fight so I froze.   I developed phobias which turned into agoraphobia, the fear of having panic attacks and losing control.   I would sit in school, so scared that I couldn’t learn and I made terrible grades.   I lost confidence in myself and didn’t know where I’d be when I had a panic attack.  I knew where every bathroom was and carried a portable toilet in my van.  I stopped going to restaurants, stopped traveling and wouldn’t go to meetings or movies.  Along with this came body pains – backaches and stomach aches.  Life wasn’t fun.  

I searched for answers with hypnosis, “primal scream therapy”, talk therapy, desensitization therapy, prayer, meditation, and more. Everything helped a little but it wasn’t until I discovered Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and joined Rick Wilkes and Cathy Vartuli at Thriving now, did I really find help.  I learned about the primitive brain and how it tried to keep me safe through all these traumas and I was able to release many of my old struggles.   Now that I understand that my primitive brain loves me so much it will do anything it can to keep me safe, I can use the tapping tools I learned from Rick and Cathy and work with my primitive brain instead of fighting with it.

Free Wednesday Tarot Class - Wheel of Fortune

Hi and welcome to our Wednesday Tarot lesson. This week we will be exploring tarot card ten, The Wheel of Fortune. This card has many meanings. If you look at in the Rider-Waite deck, you see this big wheel in the middle of the card that looks like it is suspended in space. The eight spokes on the wheel represent the figure 8 we found over the Magician’s head and at the top of the Strength card. This expresses the message “as above, so below.”

The Wheel of Fortune represents cycles. Look at the cycle we’re in now. People are getting laid off, the stock market has had its ups and downs, the housing market is chaotic. Life is cyclic. What is down will always come back up again. What cycle are you in? Are you doing things the same old way and wondering why your life isn’t working? Take a look at your cycle and think about new ideas you can use so you won’t make fruitless choices over and over again.

At each corner of the Wheel of Fortune card are the fixed signs of the zodiac (Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo and Taurus), the four seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter), the four corners (north, south, east and west), the four elements (fire, earth, air and water). Notice they have wings, representing archangels. This means that everything we desire comes from our Higher Source. In the Rider-Waite deck, each of these figures has a book, meaning we are always learning. Lots of times when I get this card I see that my client is either in school or going back to school or about to take a class. We are all in the school of life, always learning. The snake at the side of the card represents the shedding of skin, the ability to start over.

The Wheel of Fortune in Greek means Kaph, a grasping hand. Grasping means to embrace, to comprehend, to know, to act boldly. Do you comprehend how you create your own fortune? Do you realize that you are a co-creator with God? Do you know that nothing happens by chance? I'm not talking about a ruthless kind of grasping but an understanding.

Fortune means good luck, realizing your destiny comes from working and being true to your visions. You make your own luck. If you’ve read any of the Law of Attraction books by Esther and Jerry Hicks you know that everything is vibrational and the vibrations we send out through our thoughts come back to us in the form of experiences. What do you want for your life? Have you made a plan, written it on paper or are you just hoping that things will fall into place for you? Are you living your life to please your parents, your friends or your significant other?

What is your passion in life? When you were a child, how did you visualize yourself as an adult? What turned you on? What got you excited? If you can think back to that time and remember your dreams when you were a kid, you will realize that this is what you wee supposed to be doing until someone told you that it wasn’t practical or that you wouldn’t make any money at it and talked you into another career. What is fun for you? What would you be doing if money was no object? To see your fortune is to grow, to discover who you really are and where your talents lay. Kaph also means the hand that grasps the golden ring of fortune. Remember the Emperor, the number 4 card? He created his own empire and when we follow his teachings we, too, can create our own wheel of fortune.

Speaking of good fortune, abundance and prosperity, I love the book, The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Catherine Ponder. It is in paperback and it is filled with wonderful examples of how people in her classes prospered during a recession. It has been a trove of inspiration since the early 60s when I was agoraphobic and broke. Yes, that is where I was, but using Catherine’s ideas about prosperity changed my life. It can change yours too. Since then, the Abraham Hicks books on the Law of Abundance have been published along with many other self help books. Catherine tells us why we deserve to be prosperous and outlines step by step many different ways we can manifest our good and live the kind of life we really want despite the obstacles that sometimes we can’t see past.

This is an abundant world. I’ve been awed by planting a tomato seed and growing a whole bush filled with tomatoes, each one filled with enough seeds to grow many bushes. The same is true with most other produce, trees, flowers and other crops. There is no lack in God’s world; it only exists in man’s mind.

So there is “Gold Dust in the air for you and me.” The Wheel of Fortune represents new beginnings and so many people are going through this. It only takes a small change in our thinking to change our lives. Are you ready? Let’s go for it!!

The Wheel of Fortune’s advice:

Recognize the cycles and turning points in your life and remember that you can start over.
Keep learning from your experiences and adapt accordingly.
Cultivate optimism, generosity and adaptability.
Move or change jobs to expand your luck.
Get still within and tap into your resources to create your own good fortune.
Consider other ideas and viewpoints – be creative.
Revolutionize and transform your ideas to get a handle on your destiny.

Next week we’ll explore the nature of justice.

Let's Play Treasure Mapping

Do you want to play a fun game that could help you manifest your most exciting dreams? This is called the Treasure Mapping game. A treasure map is about looking for pictures that represent what you want to manifest in your life. If you want a new car you get some automobile magazines or magazines with auto advertisements and cut out a picture of the kind of car you want, and hang it somewhere where you can see it often, like on a mirror in your bathroom or on a wall. This is just a small example of treasure mapping. What if you wanted to get married and go on a fabulous honeymoon? You could round up some travel and wedding magazines and start cutting out picture of what this looks like to you. If you wanted to go on a cruise you'd find some magazines with people having fun aboard a ship

Even better, you can get yourself a large poster board and paste or glue these pictures on it. You could buy a journal or a notebook and fill it with pictures. I've done both. It is amazing when I look back on what i pasted in my treasure map, how much I've manifested.

Catherine Ponder, author of The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity writes, "Truly nothing is impossible for the imagination to accomplish. But perhaps you are thinking, 'I am not yet well versed enough in the imagining power of the mind to get results as you have described. Isn't there some simple way I can begin training my imagination to produce such results for me?'"

Yes there is! That is why creating a treasure map for yourself is so powerful. You cut pictures out of magazines of what your desires look like and it gives your imagination a picture to focus on to produce "rich results." Some also call it a wheel of fortune. They take a poster board and draw a big circle on it and divide the circle into pie shapes, which represent different areas of their life. One can be money, another friendships, a third could be romance, and on. Each of us has our own special desires and dreams. One woman wanted to go on a vacation but she had to take care of her sick mother. She made herself a treasure map / wheel of fortune about a vacation. She was able to take her mother to Florida and was actually invited to stay at a friend's house free of charge - at the height of the winter tourist season. Her mother was able to stay warm, which helped her health improve. So see, miracles still happen.

Along with pictures you write affirmations under the pictures like - "Divine Intelligence knows where my perfect job is for me and by focusing on the kind of work I desire, Divine Guidance is bringing me my prefect job for the pay I want." Then don't watch the scary news about the economy. That only feeds into fear. You can say, "The Divine plan for my life is manifesting now in my every experience for manifesting my desired job."

If that is too wordy then make up affirmations that feel right for you. You can cut out words and phrases from magazines to create your affirmations. Let me give you a warning though. A friend wanted a baby but she forgot to put a picture of a man on her treasure map, only a picture of a woman and a baby. Guess what happened! She ended up as a single mother! So watch what put on your treasure map, watch what you wish for.

We are always creating whether we are aware of it or not. Each thought we have is a creation. It vibrates when it is sent out and the Universe immediately begins to send back experiences that vibrate at that same vibrational energy or cycle that we send out. Yes this is a bit simplistic to be sure, but the law of attraction does work.

So get some white poster board, some colorful pens and a stack of magazines, a glue stick, scissors and some creative sayings. Let's pull out our favorite inspirational books and copy phrases from them to add to our treasure maps. You can Google affirmations or if you have any of Catherine Ponder's writings you will have all kinds of uplifting affirmations to add to your treasure map/wheel of fortune. Maybe you could get together with people of like minds and have a treasure map party. Don't invite anyone who is a nay sayer or who is a downer. "You are the only thinker in your mind, Louise L Hay says so have fun with this and create the life you want for yourself. Don't give up. Add things to it, make it fresh from time to time. It does take a little time to change habits and begin thinking in different, more creative ways.

Happy Treasure Mapping !

My Angels Help me all the time

Yesterday I talked about how my astrology chart helped me understand myself better and how I learned about balance in my life. I wrote about how I was helped to work through being agoraphobic for 30 years.

Today I want to talk about how I learned about angels, how they helped me and how they can help you. Did you know you have angels and unseen guides around you all the time? Some people teach that we have one guardian angel, others say we can call in the archangels at any time, and others teach that we have many angels around us. I choose to believe that we have at least 5 angels with us at all times. I've learned that before we were conceived we worked with our Guides to decide what adventures we wanted this lifetime and what lessons we wanted our soul to learn. We chose our parents, we chose our astrology charts and we even chose who we wanted to learn and have adventures with. In other words, say we wanted to learn how to love ourselves better. So we worked an agreement with other souls who wanted to help us. Maybe someone was mean to us in our life and we didn't like feeling this so we worked hard to learn to overcome feeling bad. That lead us to start searching for reasons why we felt so bad and what could we do to help ourselves. So we found out that once we started loving ourselves our vibrations changed and the person who was being so mean left our lives. They were one of our greatest teachers. This is simplistic, I know, but it is just a small example. While we were setting these "adventures" up with our Guides and other souls, we also got to select our angels who would come with us and help us through our adventures here on this earth plane.

"Then why don't we remember this?" You might ask? Because when we were inside our mother's womb we drank from the water of forgetfulness. I mean if we remembered everything it wouldn't be such a challenge would it? Have you ever noticed how humans seem to learn the most through their struggles? Of course we don't have to but that is how we've been programmed. Now that the Law of Attraction and the Secret have entered our consciousness we are learning we can create better things for ourselves without such struggles. But back to our angels...

Did you know that our angels can even help us find good parking places if we ask? Imagine it is raining and we want to go to the mall. It is raining so hard that if we parked 3 rows back we'd get soaked, so we can ask our angels to find us a parking place near the entrance and they will. I remember many times when we lived in Florida we'd like to park at the Lake Worth beach overlooking the ocean. But we'd have to get there early or all the spots would be taken. Now I'm talking about parking on the first row right along side the ocean. Many times when we asked our angels to help us find a parking place there someone would be getting ready to back out and often they'd leave money in the meter so we not only got a good spot but didn't have to pay for it.

"Isn't that too trivial for the angels?" You ask? No it isn't. Our angels love to help us in any way they can. But we have to ASK. They are not allowed to interfere. One of my favorite books is Angelspeake by Trudy Griswold and Barbara Mark. In this book they teach us how to write to our angels and get our own angel messages. http://angelspeake.com/ I highly recommend this book.

Joan Borysenkso has a CD that I use all the time calling in the Archangels to help us. It is called Invocation to the Angels. She talks about Uriel, Gabriel, Raphael, and Michael. Here is the link to the interview about how she calls on these angels for everything: Arch Angel Invocation She has a CD with explanation on how to use these angels and then a wonderful meditation. Once I learned and practiced this, I am always calling on them to ask for help and guidance, healing and - well for everything. It feels like I am surrounded by wonderful protection and love.

So yes YOU too have angels and guides you can call on and believe me, if we allow them to help us and get our egos or our worries out of the way and LET them help us, they will - in miraculous ways. Next time I'll tell you how they brought me my husband when I had NO idea what I was doing.

So tons of Angel Hugs to you and know that your angels love you now and forever no matter what. They are always there for you too!
