Or are you like so many who are at the mercy of the thoughts they think… you know just allowing any old thought to take up residence in your head.  I for one, have often times been guilty of letting these old thoughts freeload in my head.  Not anymore!  I have thrown the bums out.

Recently, I have had some health challenges and have not given my blog much attention.  I had to undergo some medical tests and there was some question about how healthy my heart was.  My doctor asked me to consult with a cardiologist.  I immediately sprang into action after making the appointment. I was not going to sit by and worry about my heart.  I made a conscious decision to visualize the heart I wanted.  I began talking to my heart, thanking it for pumping and keeping me going all these years, despite how I treated it.  While visualizing a healthy heart, I held my hands over my heat and let the energy flow from my hands into my heart.  I did this every day until I saw the cardiologist.

The cardiologist looked over the tests and said, “This is a healthy heart.”  None of the conditions my doctors were concerned about were there.  I do have to have a stress test but the news was so much better than my doctors expected.

Mindset is powerful.  I could have spent my time worrying about my heart and creating stress which would help to create a self fulfilling prophecy or I could focus on what I want and shape my reality.

By keeping my focus on what I wanted, a healthy heart, I was able to raise my vibration to be in harmony with that thought.  All things are created twice, once in our mind as a thought and again in reality.  By keeping the focus on a healthy heart, I was able to bring that about in reality.

When working on creating your reality, this does not mean that you do nothing.  You still need to do the work. If all you do is sit and visualize, you will not manifest what you want. Action is the glue that binds thought and results together. For me that meant eating healthy, taking vitamins and minerals and being mindful of the things within my control to be heart healthy.

In the end, time will pass but what reality do you want to live in?  One of doom and gloom or one of optimism and abundance?

But I am reminded that the Chinese symbol for crisis is also opportunity. It is an opportunity for us to practice living abundantly even in the face of our own feelings of limitations and lack. It is an opportunity for the Haitian community to feel the abundance of love, support and money from the world. Opportunity abounds here. But what does that mean? Haiti has to be totally rebuilt from the ground up. It is an opportunity for all of us to give to the Haitian community a new sense of purpose, of starting anew. The biggest thing it takes to make that happen is money.

I know money is a tough issue to talk about today, given so many people out of work, given our own financial limitations. But I would suggest to you that we can think outside our notions of lack and limitation. It isn’t about how much money you donate, it is about the belief that you can. It is about the belief that we all can make a difference. It is an act of faith, a belief in the abundance of the universe that if you give, it will be returned to you tenfold. Even if you are out of work or your circumstances and conditions in your life make you feel like you don’t have much, try donating one dollar. For someone with a little bit of money, it will be a very generous gesture on your part which has real implications for the vibration you live in around money.

When I was younger, my parents didn’t talk to me about charitable giving. They always said that I didn’t make enough money to donate anyway. In fact, I didn’t learn that my parents engaged in charitable giving until I was an adult. When I first started to donate, it made me feel a part of something bigger than myself. I began to see that there is enough money.

Everyone can do something. Give up Starbucks for a week or bring your own lunch to work and donate the money you would have spent. This is a teachable moment for our children on giving. See if your company has a program of giving and suggest the charity or need that you are passionate about.

Here is a site that lists where you can donate and rates the organizations.

We all can do something. We don’t have to feel or be helpless, crying while we watch our televisions. There is action we can all take. I am posting my favorite Jewel song which reminds us that, “we are God’s hands.”
