Hopeful Notes From Howiej

False Evidence Appearing Real

howard parsons — Fri, 18 May 2012 12:58:48 +0000

The word FEAR is tossed around a lot as a block for the experiences and goals we say we want. I have heard I said that fear is “false evidence appearing real”. Whatever the hurdle we put in front of us, our mind tells us it is real, that we should pay attention to it and invest a huge amount of energy in keeping it alive.

I have a different idea about fear. Let’s acknowledge our essential self as knowing the truth of who we are. We are a light in the world and in the quiet of our heart we can claim victory for this moment of our life. Then take the next step that is shown to us.

Whatever your challenge in this moment, I am sure you have a way around, through or over it.

Do you have experiences of doing this?

Let The Feelings Rock!

We all have feelings, right? Now, sometimes you may not even be aware of how you are feeling. This is a question of becoming tuned into what is happening physically and emotionally. You can do it, it is a practice.

In my experience it is not a good idea to hold your feelings in. When they are held inside they burn and grow and distort your vision. It is better to get them out in a healthy way. Take up a practice that you find helpful for you.

Maybe someone has an idea or two to share.

Some Times…

You know how things happen? Those unexpected events that are part of our lives that show up when it is most inconvenient.

How do you react when your schedule is thrown into disarray?

Where does your power go?

What do you make more important than remembering who you are in the moment?

It is in the unexpected moments that your practice of remembering your essential nature that things work out.

Try Something Big

Try something bigger than you have in the past. I sm sure you have something in mind that you have always wanted to try.

You don’t know all the steps

You don’t know how it will come together. Your heart just tells you you have to give it a go.

Activate that stubborn part that won’t quit when the going gets tough. Recommit to yourself when you have to.

You have it within you. We both know that.

Try something big that gets the juices flowing! We are excited to hear about it.

Laugh, Love, Live

howard parsons — Mon, 14 May 2012 10:52:14 +0000

There is joy within you waiting to get out. The mere act of laughing out loud brings forth the energy of the fun loving you.

There is a love within you that is waiting for expression in your life whether it be with another. The work you engage in or the interests you have.

There is living within you. Energy resides in your power centre that does not want to be withheld any longer.

Share with us your experiences of laughing, loving and living?

Connection with Mother

howard parsons — Fri, 11 May 2012 12:40:25 +0000

What is the connection to your mother? Will you celebrate her on Sunday? How would you describe the depth and quality of your relationship with her?

You have a capacity for connection that perhaps is beyond words. Each of us carried in the womb for nine months in what could only be described as the most intimate of connections? How then does the connection with mother change as we grow up?

What have we intuitively and intellectually learned about connection from our mother?

So may questions, yet so relevant to how you are in the world no matter how old we are.

Connection. Contribution. Meaning

howard parsons — Thu, 10 May 2012 12:54:14 +0000

Thinking about this day, I wonder who I will meet, what contribution I will make, what meaning will there be in this day.

Each of us is born with the gift of choice. It does not matter what adapted behaviours show up, you are still powerful in your essential self.

So with your gift of choice, be aware of who you meet and connect with on your journey. Give them the gift of who you are. How might you do that?

Be aware of your contribution because that comes from your power of choice. Do you know your power?

Be aware of what meaning you bring and what meaning you garner from your life because surely that would bring joy to our heart. How would you describe the meaning in your life?

FEAR

howard parsons — Wed, 09 May 2012 04:04:38 +0000

Lying right below our excuse of, “I don’t have time” or “I’m too busy” might be fear. The fear of the unknown might stop you from moving in your life to where you say you want to be.

What is the fear that you have that lies just below the surface of your excuse?

Excuses

howard parsons — Tue, 08 May 2012 12:09:27 +0000

What’s your best excuse? Mine is, I don’t have time. Running from one thing to another without a clear focus makes me feel important(ego) yet the things I would say are really important are not getting done!

You are such a powerhouse of choice. Whatever you focus on goes out into the universe and then there is an organizing principle that tries to help make that which you focus on become a reality.

Whatever you focus on, you will know that is what you are making most important to you at that moment.

I’d love to hear your best excuse.

Inspiration

howard parsons — Mon, 07 May 2012 12:51:24 +0000

Is inspiration available to you? Is there a time you have every day to connect with that part of you that offers inspiration?
You have inspiration within you waiting to be called upon. I see it as one aspect of your guidance system. A much better way to approach the day than from desperation, Don’t you think?
