Rising Above It - Who Me?

Thank you Eddie Conner for taking notes for this meeting.

Ramona opened the meeting, welcomed guests, and greeted new members.

Eddie Conner led us through a guided meditation to recharge our souls.

There were updates on what members had done since the last meeting.   

• Two members went on an Abraham “Land Cruise” to Cancun using their personal manifestation “Can do Cancun”.   
• A make-up artist posted the play money she received at the last meeting with the intention to do make-up for a creature feature and it came true.   
• Another used his play money with the intention to win the power ball. He won a small prize and used the funds to buy tickets for Mike and Ramona.   
• A member’s husband created a character for an exhibit in two hours, posted it for sale and received $2000, making the couple realize his work is worth $1000 per hour.   
• Someone with a family history of back problems had her back go out. With doctors urging surgery, she visited a healer who used healing-sound bowls for only $10 per session, and her back problems disappeared. http://houseofintuitionla.com/our-healers/dom-web-pic-small/ 
• Searching for a hybrid car with certain attributes, a member finally found the car she wanted. After purchasing it she realized it was the exact year, make, model and color of the car she posted on her vision board five years earlier.   
• Ramona explained vision boards to the group and how they work. 
• A member interjected that she uses “word driven vision boards” versus picture-driven, and they work for her. (That is what the author does, too.)  
• Pinterest is available on the net and is basically a web based vision board.   
• Another member’s husband wanted to produce and wrote a pilot with a certain actor in mind. He later worked with that actor, became friends, and the actor loves the script. Together they will turn it into an episodic. 
• Another’s vision board contained a mansion on a hill. Within two years she saw a sign for that mansion with a room for rent. Unable to afford even the rent, a friend is acquiring the property and offering it rent free to her while he is away.

We watched the Abraham video The Fun of Ignoring Reality which explains the vortex of creation. We are vibrational beings first.

Ramona shared an experience she had recently and how she rose above it. She received some disturbing news and while processing that, her mother-in-law, with whom she was close, passed away. This activated the fear even more. She created an acronym for FEAR; Forget Evidence And Remember. Remember what we know – that we are connected to Source; that our thoughts are powerful and can change any situation to good in spite of what others try to tell us.

Remember, if your mind is filled with fear, there’s no room for dreams. So, if you fill your mind with dreams, and there won’t be room for fear.  Ramona also decided to be more joyful and filled with laughter regarding her fears. That is how she rises above it. And isn’t that the purpose of life? To be happy.

Another acronym for FEAR is “Face Everything And Rise”. Or try “Forget Everything And Relax”.

Hearing a noise in her kitchen, a member ran towards the noise with the intention of fighting off the intruder. This gave her confidence when later on her house was broken in on and she stood up to the burglars. To build confidence, a member placed cowbells on every window so she would hear an intruder. Instead of living in terror, she has risen above it and lived fearlessly for forty years.

Ramona asked “What are some things we need to rise above?” Responses include bad past experiences and family history. The best way to erase these memories and rise above them is to “create a new story.” A simple example is someone is driving recklessly and cutting off other cars to get ahead, create a story that relates how they must be having an emergency and need to get to the hospital fast to save a life.

Why do people stay stuck in the negative? Many don’t realize they are in a fear-based negative place. What do we do when someone insists on telling their negative stories? A great technique is to simply say to yourself “Cancel cancel”. That will cancel the effects of the negativity you do not want to hear. Another technique is tapping which neutralizes the negative programming and shifts our energy to the positive. For a good video on the tapping technique, check out this site. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfZBHWSbrsg

Abraham talks about telling another story. Instead of retelling the negative feeling story, tell it in a positive way, reliving it in the positive and therefore creating new vibrations about the story.

A member shared that she used to live a lot in her mind. Once she learned about Abraham-Hicks, she realized that she created her own reality. Now she understands why it is not her fault or their fault. It just is. She asks herself “What is the good in this?” When she focuses on this she sees proof of what is working for her.

Louise Hay says yesterday is gone. It’s wasted.

A member shared about a retreat she attends annually in a place that has natural beauty. Whenever it’s hard to turn off her brain about challenging situations in life, she finds a place in nature that helps her rise above “what is.”

A member’s mom wisely reminds her that all her obstacles are rewards in disguise. She suggests stepping outside her current situation and seeing it from your soul’s perspective.

Another member had abandonment issues after being lost on a beach as a child. Years later, standing on a beach, she saw a little girl being swept away by a wave and went into the water and saved the child. This new story has allowed her to rise above her fear of abandonment and now has a new story.

Ramona handed out bottles of bubbles for members to use when they need to rise above something and feel the lightness of bubbles rising above it all.

The closing video was Life Vest.  

Next meeting Tuesday, June 4 at SpiritWorks.

Having Fun With Money-Who Me? With Eddie Conner

Ramona opened the meeting with introduction of new members and guests, followed by an amazing meditation by Eddie Conner where we visualized having $10,000 in cash drop into our hands.

A very good book on money was recommended - Happy Pocket Full of Money by David Cameron Gikandi. 

One of our dear members, Michele, would love some healing energy sent to her from our group. Please send some as you read this and whenever you think of it, please.

Ramona reported that she, Eddie and Mike just experienced a new hands-on reprogramming technique developed by two of our Michigan members.  They have adapted Dr. Morter’s B.E.S.T. (BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique) into a personalized reprogramming session to get rid of bad memories and experiences that have plagued and limited us, sometimes without our own realization.

Ramona read a message from a member who traveled to Argentina and is enjoying the trip he attracted using the Law of Attraction.

The opening video was Rampage of Money by Abraham Hicks. 

Question: How many of us have had money issues?  Doesn’t the word Money have a negative connotation? Mostly the negative feelings we have with money come from our childhood due to insufficiency expressed by our parents.

One member shared she does not use the word “money”. She focuses on the energy flow instead. She asks herself some questions, like “What can I do today to start the energy flowing?” Or “How can I flow my energy to get my juices flowing that day.” When the energy moves, the money and prosperity flow to her.  This process creates “circulation.”

Another spoke about how he shares his personal value by helping others. He was able to attract new friends and his love frequency led him to producing films. Doing what he loves brings financial freedom.

Ramona shared how on a meeting day she is usually running around in a hectic manner making sure everything will be perfect. Instead, today she allowed more time to connect to the flow and her demeanor is much calmer. (And the meeting was still perfect!)

Another shared the excitement she felt when she received an unexpected check.

When thinking about prosperity, think about the abundance you have in your life. You have good friends, air, a roof over your head, plenty of blue sky, water, food. Thinking about abundance attracts more abundance to us.

A member shared that she gives an affirmation card to her clients, many of whom have reported the effects of reduced stress, letting go, and having their lives turn around.

Another member shared that he had a chance encounter with a young lady who had just been scammed by what she thought was a friend and was experiencing the worst day of her life. He helped her with some of the principles of the Law of Attraction and how their meeting was created by cosmic synchronicity. By the end of their visit she commented that he had changed her life and that day went from the worst to the best day of her life.

A film maker, whose name means “Goddess of Wealth”, had her film selected for showing at the Cannes film festival, but cannot afford the airfare, hotel and other costs associated with attending. Her dad connected her with someone who was so moved by the member’s honor and the quality of the film that she is sponsoring the member’s trip to Cannes. The film is titled “725” and is about human trafficking. Congratulations to our Goddess of Wealth.

Two members talked about how tired they were from overworking and decided to attend a concert. Someone gave them free tickets, so they had extra cash for parking, drinks and a dinner. After the concert, while walking back to their car, they found exactly the amount of cash they had spent, so their evening was free. But wait, there’s more. While driving out of the lot they saw even more money in the street, stopped, and picked it up. The evening not only relaxed the couple, but also paid off!

When her script consulting job dried up, a member jumped full-time into a topic she loves, Akashic Records. She sent out her request to the Universe: “Bring me my new awareness of income.” She instantly built her past life work with Akashic Records into a great business because she “made the request.”

Eddie did a reading for a member telling him that a small bit part was coming his way and, even though it didn’t appear to be worth his while, it would lead to bigger opportunities. When the small part came, he at first declined it, but was given another opportunity and, remembering Eddie’s words, he took it. The producer of that show liked his bit performance and offered him a million dollar opportunity on another show. The member not only got the big opportunity, but also learned “self trust”.

On her 60^th birthday, a member told everyone she was getting a Jaguar. She absolutely believed she was getting one. She didn’t know how: just knew it would happen. Then her husband surprised her with a new Jaguar, which was quite out of character for him.

Question: What are you going to do to raise your prosperity consciousness? What’s stopping you from attracting prosperity?

Answers:

·         I will walk with the truth that “I am a star” and let myself go along with the bigger greatness and swim in this prosperity consciousness.

·         Keep dreaming and not get angry when things don’t go my way.

·         Have more fun and the money will flow.

·         Let go of all the worries.

·         Going to a Def Leppard concert.

·         Going to see Beyonce.

·         When you know the money is coming and not stressing over it,, the money will come faster.

·         Especially when you appreciate it.

A member whose child is an actor shared how she decided “If they can do it, so can I.” She produced and filmed a short for entry into film festivals. She created a way to do what she and her son love to do and has opened the door for opportunities to flow in.

The closing video was Money is Coming to Me, a music video by our friend Karen Drucker.  

The meeting concluded with Eddie Conner performing “Hot Seat” Readings for two lucky members of our group.

For those who wanted to buy some of Eddie's products and didn't get a chance to, Here is the Link to his online store.

LOVE - WHO ME?

The meeting started with a video entitled “Sivan Garr Presents - I Love You”.  

Ramona asked the new members to introduce themselves, followed by a guided meditation by Eddie Conner – “To Open Your Heart”.

Ramona asked the group to share updates and wins since their last meeting.

We showed an Abraham video “Tuned into Love”.  Ramona started the discussion with the statement “All of us are here to learn from one another – we are all co-creating together.” In that light, what do we think of when we say the word “Love”? Answers included happiness, fulfillment, relatives like a special grandmother, visitations from loved ones who have passed, and a sharing of hearts, kindness, acceptance, and appreciation.

Why do some people feel negative about love? Because some people just don’t feel love, are incapable of love, perhaps because they have not experienced it or had a bad experience with it – giving love but having it betrayed. Sometimes when we don’t see or feel love reflected back to us we begin to feel unlovable.

What stops us from feeling love? Fear.  What is fear? False Evidence Appearing Real.

One of our members shared a life-changing illustration of a person apparently trapped behind two bars. But with one step to the right or left, that person can be free.

Our brain may see many repeat patterns from lifetime to lifetime. How can we replace these patterns with something better? One suggestion was to replace the old patterns with new affirmations. Also try mirror work as suggested by Louise Hay. What matters most is what we are feeling inside when we generate new thoughts. If we feel down, it is unlikely our new thoughts will be uplifting. So get happy and stay happy. Do what you enjoy doing that makes you feel good.

A member shared that she asks the Universe for evidence that she is loveable. She started with subtle, simple pieces of proof that she is loveable. Examples are that clerks and strangers she encounters acknowledge her and are nice to her. That provides the feeling that love exists and it made her feel loved.

Another member plays the “A to Z” game, where on her way to work she finds a positive adjective to describe herself that begins with an “A”, then a “B”, etc. She arrives at work high because she set the tone for loving herself first and the world follows her frequency.

How do we deal with people in our lives who are hard to love? We should forgive them, read the “Four Agreements”, don’t take it personally, send them love because they need it more than we do, put your ego aside and take a second look, be more generous with your perspectives, make up a back story that describes why that person is the way he or she is and that changes our outlook on him or her for the better. Remember that judging others disconnects us from Source. Everyone has an issue. If we can learn to love and especially to love ourselves, we can learn to love others which will free ourselves to be trusting and happy.

What happens when we have an encounter with someone who treats us poorly or cuts us off in traffic, etc.? Remember that person is giving you an opportunity to show a part of yourself. If you cry out an expletive, that is a negative reflection of yourself. Whatever you think becomes present in your body. So, ground yourself, remain in the present, and be an observer of their ill behavior while sprinkling them with sparkles of love. This will serve to anchor yourself in more love, whether the other person sees it or not.

Ramona shared an Abraham quote about limitations. “Just stop arguing for your limitations. We encourage you to think about the good that happened to you yesterday and amplify that good feeling.

Mike shared an experience he had with someone at work who did and said things behind his back, and would not admit to it when asked. The image of the things he said and did behind his back stuck in Mike’s mind and haunted his existence. It kept him awake at night and seemed to fill every waking moment. He tried a “Higher-self Conversation” with his adversary.

In a mode similar to meditation, he said “This is Mike's higher self. I want to have a conversation with your higher self. We were friends and worked well together for many years. Then something happened. I don't understand what it was. If I did something to wrong you I am truly sorry. And, I forgive you for your actions against me. What you did, however, has affected our relationship.  I truly wish it hadn’t.

"I sense that you are still sending negative energy to me. I have decided that whatever negative energy you send my way I will say “No, thank you” and return to you. I truly hope you will stop sending negative thoughts and start sending positive energy. I will send high frequency thoughts to you. Any positive energy you send me I will double and return to you. It will be better for both of us."

Another member suggests that you address the other person in a very direct manner and tell him or her to only focus on what is wanted – love and self-appreciation.

Ramona wrapped up the meeting with the following affirmation we all repeated:

I love and accept myself exactly as I am.

I deserve love and I accept it now.

I attract only loving, healthy relationships into my life.

All my relationships are healthy, healed and whole and I now experience an abundance of love within my life.

Then everyone shared one thing we love about ourselves.

Next meeting is March 19, 7PM at SpiritWorks.

Inner Conflict - Who Me?

After Ramona asked the new members to introduce themselves, several members shared their “wins” since the last meeting. Then Mike showed a brief video of Ramona, Eddie and himself as dancing elves.

“Every time we self doubt we back ourselves up a thousand steps.”

We showed an Abraham video (it starts with a commercial – sorry!) Thinking, as choosing your thoughts followed by a discussion of where inner conflict comes from. Some examples are the media, ego, family history, and self doubt. When we feel negative emotion we are out of the vortex. The vortex is a feeling of joy, relief, fun as opposed to the dark heavy feelings we get when things “go wrong”. It’s where we want to be as much of the time as possible.

When we get upset we only cut ourselves off from our core essence, aka the vortex. Ramona used the example of having to place her mother-in-law in an assisted living facility and the trauma that ensued with her and certain family members. The experience took her out of the vortex. Later, while cleaning out her Mother-in-law’s dresser, she found her original wedding invitation from 1941. It shifted her from the heavy negative emotion, making her feel good and placing her back in the vortex.

Ramona asked how we feel when we have bad thoughts and where do they come from. The consensus was the thoughts eat at your gut. They disconnect us from source energy. A lot of the negatives come from our friends and acquaintances. Some people try to out- do the other with comments like, “If you think that’s bad, here’s what happened to me!”

Someone shared that negative “stuff” is often given to us by the Universe to teach us a lesson. Are they lessons? Or are they opportunities to learn from mistakes? When we keep hitting a wall with things that are important we have the opportunity to birth a new desire. And here are some of the tricks we can use to stay in alignment: Write down the opposite of the existing negative reality we are living; look at what’s going right; say “I appreciate…” and write down what is going right.

When encountering someone with whom you have a negative history, approach them as if there are no issues. Erase the old subject negativity and start all over with a fresh new perspective. Learn to pre-pave your next meeting with that person by stating  a new intention that realigns with our desires.

The What the Bleep video on the effects of intention on distilled water raises the question, “If our thoughts can do that to distilled water, imagine what they are doing to us.”

When Mike was diagnosed as having “the C word” (which he never used) he would explain as follows: “I am going to be OK; I have a tumor; it will be removed; and I will be OK.” He started and ended the explanation with being "OK”.

We can easily become addicted to our negative thoughts and emotions allowing them to become bad habits. We all have the devil and angel represented by our inner dialogue and inner conflict. We need to give more attention to our angels’ voices.

Unfortunately many of us have created the bad habit of wanting to hear the negative stories. Here are some things that were shared to counter the negatives:

Appreciate the good things. Meditate. Pre-pave things the way you want them to go. Find out what works for us. “In the fullness of time, more will be revealed in order to feel better at the time.” Find things that will shift our inner conflict. When you wake up in the morning, do not get out of bed until you can feel joy and bliss. Everybody has things to feel angry about: it takes true courage to feel grateful. Appreciate good customer service and soon you will receive GREAT customer service.

What inspired actions can we take in 2013:

Slow down. Say to yourself “I intend to feel good”. Be the change you want to see. Chant before you start your day. Feel good before you get out of bed. Say “I am in control and own it consistently.” Wake up with gratitude. Meditate first thing in the morning. Set your tone as “for the joy of it.” Do self-love affirmations. Drop the fear. Attend more Burbank Law of Attraction meet-ups.

Ramona closed the meeting with the following:

How are you feeling this very minute? Let’s ask the Universe for more of this in 2013.

Universe, thank you for reminding me that I am good and worthy.

Universe, thank you for reminding me to not take things so seriously.

Universe, thank you for reminding me that I am moving in the direction that is best for me each day.

Universe, thank you for reminding me that the past is gone and the future is filled with unlimited possibilities.

Universe, thank you for the multitude of non-physical beings lined up to assist me every step of every day.

Universe, thank you for reminding me that this is going to be the most amazing year of my life.

And so it is!

We did not have time to show the closing video, but if you are interested, it’s called Life is Good. 

Our next meeting will be February 26^th, 2013.
