I am convinced that recognizing the importance of mind energy could change people’s attitudes to negativity and positivity the world over. I have seen so clearly the effects of thought on people’s physical energy and health: how positive thinking stimulates it, causing the energy to expand outwards, while negativity draws that same energy downwards, eventually causing congestion throughout the body.

In a healthy positive person the energy pulsating around the head is quite amazing. It surrounds the head as far as just below the ear, and is separate from the aura around the body. It can extend outwards ad infinitum, unlimited by space. The ability to see this has brought new meaning to the concepts of ‘open’ and ‘closed’ mindedness. In an open-minded person the expansion of the energy can be tremendous, whereas closed-minded people literally draw their minds in so that not only are they unreceptive to new ideas but they have also cut themselves off from the ability to attune to other people and even to nature.

Many conditions which have baffled medical science are caused by negative energy pressing on a vital spot which undermines the efficient working of a major organ.

Positive thought expands the halo of mind energy.

Betty Shine  1919 – 2002

Be grateful simply for being alive. When you are grateful for life, pure and simple, your life becomes one you can be grateful for. That may strike you as circular or even backward logic, but your attitude really does have an effect on how things work out. When you can’t change your life any other way, you can still change your attitude. When you do, your life changes. you find more chances to love, and you will be surprised to see how much more love is returned to you.

Michael Singer
Everything will be okay as soon as you are okay with everything. And that’s the only time everything will be okay.

All personal achievement starts in the mind of the individual.
Your personal achievement starts in your mind.
The first step is to know exactly what your problem, goal or desire is.

Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement.

Sales are contingent upon the attitude of the salesman, not the attitude of the prospect.

Tom Stoppard  1937
Every exit is an entry somewhere else.

Meryl Streep  1949
I want to feel my life while I’m in it.

Put blinders on to those things that conspire to hold you back, especially the ones in your own head.

Mark Sullivan
To find a career to which you are adapted by nature, and then to work hard at it, is about as near to a formula for success and happiness as the world provides. One of the fortunate aspects of this formula is that, granted the right career has been found, the hard work takes care of itself. Then hard work is not hard at all.

Talmud

Anna Taylor
Adjust your attitude. Allow your artistry. Accept your body. Awaken your Spirit.

All pain is the same. There may seem to be a distance between slight discomfort and agony, yet there is no way to truly measure our individual feelings because we cannot walk in each other’s shoes. So instead we must decide to let go of comparison and have compassion. We must remember that while our experience of pain and what we choose to do with it may differ, our pain is pain. And as we allow ourselves and others to be present with whatever form it takes, without the need to fix or judge, we are always present to more love.

Do not shrink your beautiful Light to make someone else feel more comfortable. Be Who You Are without hesitation and you will inspire others to shine too.
