Hi there I hope you have been keeping well. It certainly has been a while since the last updated posting. May I share this thought with you... Understanding that living a centred existence from the heart, we will be able to find a space within called home that is eternal, without a beginning or a end. In this state we will find that our fears, doubts and regrets all fall away, into realm of nothingness and illusion... In thoughts and Love Iain ~~~~ ~~~~~ The secret to allowing an insight to become a permanent way of knowing and seeing is not to touch it, cling to it, dogmatize it or even think about. Insights come and go, but to have them stay we have to flow with them, otherwise no change is possible. ~ Bernadette Roberts The Experience of No Self INTUITION. . . .Awaken to the Journey within. http://intuition2vishnu.homestead.com Cape Town South Africa If someone forwarded this to you, why not visit the above site to obtain your own FREE subscription.

By Susan Dunn, M.A Article: Within You By Judi Singleton Reflections: Some of the many ways to promote and enhance intuition. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> 10 Tolerations we can get rid of using our emotional intelligence. By Susan Dunn, M.A Here are 10 top tolerations we all tend to have that we can get rid of by using our emotional intelligence. 1. Drifting. Most of us start out the day with Intentionality, i.e., we're full of things we want to accomplish. And chances are we immediately start chasing rabbits, i.e., we start responding to the requests and demands of others that pull us off track, and subtly the pressure begins to build. Sticking with our Intentionality is the key. 2. Hating to say " no " or being unable to say " no. " Granted there are times when we wish there were more of us to go around, but there isn't. Most of us like to say " yes, " but we need to learn to say " no. " And we need to learn to say it without apologies and explanations. When we apologize, we're giving ourselves mixed messages. 3. Being inflexible about our needs. Learn to operate from " preferences, " rather than " needs, " i.e., be flexible. There's really very little you can't get along without, if you think about it. You might prefer if it were sunny and you were sitting on a beach in the Bahamas, but it isn't, and you're not, and you're doing just fine. There are all sorts of emotional conditions you think you " need " that fit in the same category. 4. Having a dysfunctional social network. Negative and demanding people sap our energy. If you have an excessive need to be needed in order to feel good about yourself, and therefore tolerate people who are sucking you dry, change this. Stop meeting their needs and unreasonable demands, and stop letting them into your life. Building a strong and supportive social network is an emotional intelligence competency. 5. Running on empty. Emotional intelligence means living your life in such a way that you have reserves. It means taking care of yourself first. These can be reserves of energy, love, money, or time, or any other sort of resource. Put your own oxygen mask on first. 6. Being fragmented. Not operating from an Integrated Self results in lying to ourselves and others--staying in a marriage that doesn't work, or staying in a job we hate, or tolerating people around us we don't like. It means exaggerating our skills and attributes to others and presenting a false life from a false sense of self. Worst of all, it keeps us from knowing ourselves, and self-awareness is the keystone of emotional intelligence. 7. Agonizing over decisions and thinking too much. Most important decisions need to be based on our feelings. Learning to use your Intuition is a much more effective way to make decisions than to get stuck in " analysis paralysis. " 8. Judging. Being judgmental is a tremendous waste of energy. It will pull you off task, alienate people, and damage you as well, because when we judge others, we put judgment into the equation, and must therefore judge ourselves. Forgive others, and be relentlessly and adamantly self-forgiving. 9. Devastating ourselves with anger. Emotions are our guides and we need to let them flow through us, experiencing them but not getting stuck. When we're angry--don't express, don't suppress, process and confess! Expressing anger only makes it worse and is very damaging to your emotional and physical health. You can continue to be angry and do battle, but remember--to the victor goes the heart bypass! 10. Giving up, feeling defeated. Building our resilience muscles helps us bounce back from setbacks, failures and losses. It helps us bounce back faster and higher. Having an optimistic attitude is the facilitator of all the other emotional intelligence competencies.

Just change the strife within. Many times we forget this and struggle in the outer world to create what we would have. Maybe we want to be rich, have a new house, a new car, bring about world peace. There is an old hymn Called " Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. " You only have control over you what you think, feel or are. You can't change the whole world or others. But if you are filled with peace then peace on earth does begin with you. Focusing from the outside in does not work very well. We must change what is within to have our outer world change and to receive these things we desire. How do we do that? We already live in a state of peace. What you say how can you say that when the whole world is going to war and there is such lack in the world. We only really need air, food, and water to survive think on all you have beyond that. We live in a state of abundance at all times We already have all the peace we can express. Just center yourself and meditate for a few moments. When you truly get to the center of you there is all the peace you could desire. You do not have to get caught up in the mass conscriousness, you do not have to give in to fear. These are choices you are making. Focus on the peace you already have. Focus on the state of abundance you already live in. Be grateful. Write a grateful list. The universe responses to your state of mind. If your state of mind is usually in a state of want then you will continue to want. If your state of mind is one of gratefulness for what you already have then you will receive more to be grateful for. So in this time of uncertainty focus on peace for you and the world. More peace will come. It is much easier to effect change internally because we are dealing with an aspect of the universe that we can have complete control over. We can't always control our outer universe but we can always, with effort, control our inner universe. Within is the building blocks of the world. So build a world that you would love to live in. You must want this for others as well as yourself. The more we look within the more our outer world will reflect what we would have.
