Blog My Way to the Life I Want: 28 Days of Conscious Creation

Day I
The question that keeps arising is: If I say I want peace or prosperity, and I believe my thoughts and words create my world, why is there still war, debt, and struggle?

I teach the principles of Thought, Perception, Choice and Accountability, Cause and Effect, Abundance and Gratitude, Health and Healing, and Harmony. They are part of the Rapid Eye Life Skills training.
How much do I embrace them? More than 50%; maybe 80 – 90%. But do I embrace them 100%?
I am choosing to blog for 28 days as an experiment to push past the 90% of the conscious and dip into the unconscious blocks using introspection and sitting in the silence.

My theory is that in order for thought to change reality, conscious action must follow thought.
Maybe even repeated action and persistence. To keep on knocking until the door is opened or the thought becomes a reality.

Maybe the thought has to be watered every day until the seed sprouts, roots take place, leaves and blossoms grow, and then the fruit appears and ripens to be enjoyed.

I have many thoughts – some repeat over and over and others change. My number one thought is I want peace – inner peace and peace in the world. Then other thoughts creep in and out goes my inner peace. I imagine if I could keep my mind on inner peace, my quantum frequency or the energy I give out may bring the outer world to resonate with peace as well.

I took my first yoga class in 1971 and learned the fundamentals of meditation. However, I dropped the watering can and jumped from one practice to another without tending to the daily action. Now I have an abundance of tools for inner peace. What can I pull out for the next 28 days?
The big D word – Discipline pops up. Can I stick with a plan without making excuses for just 28 days?
What does the plan look like?
Wake up – literally and figuratively – every morning. Pay attention. Set intention. Act.
Take a morning walk. Shower.
Sit in the sun for 20 minutes and be present.
Fill my head and body with Light and happy thoughts – listen to the birds singing. Feel my connection to nature, the Earth and the Divine.
Happy is the key word here – a discipline in itself and another blog entry.
Consciously eat a healthy breakfast.
Consciously go about my day.

Day One Diary
It was a great day. I completed my practices. I was peaceful. Took my first hula class and loved it. Walked to the library and saw a flash mob dance to We Are Family in downtown Grass Valley. The streets were filled with people at the annual car show having a good time. Can’t get more peaceful that that.

Next I went to the Lake Wildwood garage sale event and stopped by 15-20 houses. I like to chat up the owners and hear stories about their stuff. I even found some picture frames for my art and a beautiful summer dress for $1.00.

In the evening my husband Ralph and I went to our book group and discussed The Dove Keepers and ate a fantastic dinner with friends. I went to sleep very thankful for everything in my life.


Life Skill: Thought

What you consistently think about will show up in your life.
How you think about it also gives it energy.
If you think you can, you will. If you think you don’t deserve it,
you probably won’t attain it – the goal, the love relationship, you name it.

If you watch or listen to discouraging news every day, how do you maintain a positive mind?

I attempt to stay informed of world events but I also search out the good news, the music that uplifts my soul, the actions I can do in service.
I find the more I surrender, Let Go and Let God, the more energy I actually have to do what’s mine to do. Sometimes it means mopping the floor. Other times it might be visiting a friend or teaching a Reiki Class.

Reciting and remembering the Reiki Precepts can bring our minds to surrendering control and freeing us to right action. We can become aware of our thoughts in the present moment. If the thought does not support you and your well being, then you are free to choose again.

Reiki I and II Classes April 21 & 22

You are invited to Reiki Classes with Reiki teachers Sushila Mertens and Lise Squillace on April 21 & 22 in Penn Valley, California.
Reiki is a Japanese hands-on healing art to improve first the mind and then the body.
Reiki Ryoho is easy to learn to bring balance to yourself and others. This is done by means of a ritual called “Reiju” or “attunement.”

Reiki I will be on Saturday April 21 and Reiki II will be on Sunday April 22, both days 10 am – 5 pm.
I usually tell students to wait between classes but I now feel it depends on the individual student.
Most of my students already work with energy and are sensitive to what they can and can’t handle.
If you want to take both classes, instead of $150 and $200, the tuition is $300.00.
We will provide hot tea and snacks. I recommend students bring a light lunch and a closed water bottle.

Contact Sushila at 530 845-5943 for questions, to register and receive directions.


REIKI Returns in April

Reiki Circles and Classes will resume in April.
I have moved from the Grass Valley office for now and am in the process of relocating.
If you subscribe to my newsletter, you will be invited to special events not open to the public.

You can subscribe on the home page.
Be well!
