Dr. Masaru Emoto's prayer for the Gulf of Mexico

This was sent to us by a dear friend of ours, we'd like to share her words of wisdom and Dr. Emoto's prayer.

A beautiful and powerful prayer. I suggest you see,  feel the Gulf clean, beautiful, healthy and abundant. Also note the Ho'oponopono prayer as part of Dr. Emoto's prayer. I love you all. Blessed Full Moon! Love, Patricia


Dr. Masaru Emoto's prayer for the Gulf of Mexico


Most of you might know that Dr. Masaru Emoto is the scientist from Japan who has done all the research and publications about the characteristics of water. Among other things, his research revealed that water physically responds to emotions.


Many people have the predominantly angry emotion when we consider what is happening in the Gulf.

And while justified in that emotion, we may be of greater assistance to our planet and its life forms if we sincerely, powerfully and humbly pray the prayer that Dr. Emoto, himself, has proposed.

I am passing this request to people I believe may be willing to participate in this prayer, to set an intention of love and healing that is so large, so overwhelming that we can perform a miracle in the Gulf of Mexico.


We are not powerless.


We are powerful.

Our united energy, speaking this prayer daily...multiple times daily... can literally shift the balance of destruction that is happening.


We don't have to know how...we just have to recognize that the power of love is greater than any other power active in the Universe today.


(The prayer)

"I send the energy of love and gratitude to the waters and all living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings. To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, planktons, corals, algae ... humankind ... to ALL living creatures ...


I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I Love You."

Please join us in often repeating this Healing Prayer by Dr. Emoto.
Please include your powerful children.

Feel free to send it around the planet. Let's take charge ... and do our own cleanup!

Please repost, tweet, share!

Camping with your kids and connecting with nature.

CAMPING WITH YOUR KIDS AND CONNECTING WITH NATURE!

Camping with your kids can be alot of fun and create long lasting memories.

Leave the computer, phone and electronics at home and really get into the feel of the wild. (Bring your phone but if you can turn it off. Make a goal to be really present on your camping vacation, the world will wait.)
I highly recommend planning a camping trip for at least two days or more. The first day of camping can be a little hectic getting camp all set up and established. It takes about two days before your regular day to day routine starts to wear away and you start to really relax and tune into nature. By the second and third day you are really feeling the peace that can come with getting away from all the daily distractions. Be present with your children during your camping trip. Use this opportunity to teach them about the wildlife that surrounds them. The native plants, the animals, the trees. Also encourage a little quiet time to hear the birds, smell the wild smells and have a little down time.

My boys are now grown. They are ages 19 and 23. We camped all the time when they were little. In Montana there's many open spaces to camp out. One of my favorites still is Hidden Lake. Yep it's hidden so mostly only locals know about it. You can head out on a Monday and have the whole lake and campground with a porta potty to yourself! Love it! Even though they are grown now they still love to camp. They both even got jobs this summer working for the Montana Conservation Corp taking care of the forests and trails.




























Here's some tricks we used to make camping easier

*First things first, explain what camping is to your kids and how you are all going to have so much fun together! Talk about the wildlife and the rules of camp. (Staying in eye shot, making noise so bears hear you, not wiping your dirty hands on your clothes so you don't smell like dinner, exploring together, stay away from the fire rings, water safety, being respectful of other campers, etc.)
* Create a list of items you will need every time and laminate it. Before every camping trip pull it out to remind yourself what you'll need. (tent, sleeping bags, pillows, clothes, cooking supplies, food, toilet paper, toys, coats, shorts for swimming, camp stove, lantern, flash lights, crank radio, etc)
* Keep your nonperishable items you only use for camping in a tucker tote in the garage, storage or camper to save prep time on your next trip.
*Bug Spray- Target has a really good non toxic bug spray. My oldest son just tried it out recently and said it works great.
* Baby wipes are a must. They make for easy clean up for you, the kids, the table. You'll find many uses for them. They have biodegradable wipes in the camping section at most stores that sell camping equipment.
*Bring books, crayons, coloring books, bug net, bug holder, cars, journals, pens and paper. Age appropriate items. Remember leave the electronics at home, this is a time to explore, play, reconnect and learn about nature. Plan on exploring the woods around the campground together as a family.
Hands-On Nature: Information and Activities for Exploring the Environment with Children
Bring wildflower books to identify wildflowers. Animal track books to identify animal tracks and scat ( animal poo).  Collect pine cones for the nightly fire. They add a nice smell to the fire. Wildflowers, pine needles, odds and ends you find can be dried and brought home to make note cards, bookmarks to remember your camping trip or to be used for gifts. This is one of my favorite camping books: Scats and Tracks of North America: A Field Guide to the Signs of Nearly 150 Wildlife Species (Scats and Tracks Series)
*Bring smore material. Marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers. You can buy marshmallow roasters or make some out of sticks.
*If you don't have a porta potty available creating a central bathroom makes it easier for everyone. You can get a toilet seat or use a big branch to sit on. Dig a big hole for waste to go into and wrap a tarp around a few trees to create a private space. Place camp shovel next to your latrine and give everyone instructions to toss dirt in the hole after they use the restroom.
*You can create a shower space the same way. Wrap a tarp around a few trees, hanging a solar powered shower bag, tie a rope between two trees to hang wet clothes and towels on and remember to bring bungee cords they come in real handy!  Solar Shower Pvc Solar Shower 5 Gallon
*You'll need to bring a saw and hatchet for campfires or gather campfire wood to bring with you.
(Bring some newspaper, matches or a lighter for easy fire start up)
Contain the Flame: Outdoor Fire Safety (How to Be Safe!)
*Check the weather forecast ahead of time and plan accordingly. Play it safe get yourself one of these
Etón American Red Cross ARCFR160R Microlink Self-Powered AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio with Flashlight, Solar Power and Cell Phone Charger (Red)
*Bring a camera or video camera to document your trip for memories, your next Christmas card or scrapbooking. (or blog, lol)

Cooking while camping: If you have a camper to cook in great! If you don't, you need to do a little preplanning. A small folding table can come in real handy when your trying to cook in the wild.
Items to remember to bring. Camp stove, grate to go over fire,(the grate over your barbecue at home works real good), pans (cast iron can be placed directly over fire but require scrubbing for clean up) paper towels, pot holders, camp plates, cups, silver ware, knife, spices, Utensils for cooking, small container of dish soap, bucket or large bowl to wash dishes in, dish rags, coffee cups.
If you like your morning coffee don't forget your camping coffee pot and coffee. To make it simple you can bring instant coffee.

Simple food ideas
  • Instant coffee, hot chocolate, instant breakfasts, instant oatmeal, dried soups
  • lots of water (for cooking, clean up and drinking)
  • Cut up fruit and vegetables ahead of time.
  • Bring lots of ice, keep perishables cold at all times. If you are near cold water you can place your cooler at the edge of the water to help keep cool. Dry ice works really well too! Follow directions carefully.
  • Milk, juice
  • Dried foods: nuts, pretzels, popcorn, chips, dried fruit, granola bars, jerky, etc.
  • Prepare meat ahead of time. Fresh meat can be placed in containers with marinating sauce so all you have to do is place it on the grill at dinner time. If your going to be camping for two days or more. Freeze your meat ahead of time so it can thaw in the cooler. This will help it to stay fresh longer.
  • In the camping supply section you can buy a plastic egg holder if you wish to have eggs for breakfast.
  • You can place cut up vegetables, spices, little bit of butter, slice of onion in foil so it's ready for the grill. Potatoes cook great this way.
  • Place fish, butter, lemon juice, spices, onion in foil ready for the grill. Place foil meals in a container in your cooler to keep out water from melted ice.
  • Get creative, plan what your kids will eat. Prep time at home makes life so much easier on your camping trip.
  • Left over dinners prior to your camping trip can be frozen and thawed and heated up during your trip.
  • Keep it simple, your there to have a fun time not work your butt off!
The most important tip of all is to have fun! Relax and enjoy the experience. Your kids will be grown in a blink of an eye. Use your time wisely, make it count!

The Frequency Of Bees

The Frequency of Bees

I recently watched a really interesting show about bees called "The last beekeeper" on Planet Green. It's a show about the massive decline of bees happening all over the world right now. In 1950 there were 500,000 beekeepers. In 2006 there were only 1,600. That is shocking! 100's of vegetables and fruits are reliant on bees for pollination. That's our food supply. Without bees many flowering plants fail to set seed and without flowering plants there is no food for bees, which in turn means no fresh food for us! According to Landcare Research bees are responsible for our every fourth bite of food. WOW!

I've always had a fondness for bees. As a child I had many allergies and had an allergy scratch test done.
I was told that I was very allergic to bees. Living in Montana there used to bees everywhere. I didn't really think much of the warning from the allergy doctors. About six years ago I was walking around the neighborhood and a bee flew into me and I ended up getting stung. It hurt but I was ok. I've never had a deep fear of bees or insects.















A few years ago I was working out in the backyard gardening when I went into my shed to get supplies.
I had been alone and off in thought for most of the afternoon and was in a very calm state of mind. When I walked into my shed I was caught off guard by the sounds that I was hearing. It sounded like a party was going on and they're where various words being said. As I stood there listening I began to hear a hum and I realized bees had made a hive in my shed. I was completely in awe of the communication happening between the bees. They were talking (communicating) on a level we are not normally tuned into. They communicate on a different frequency. For whatever reason that day I unexpectedly tuned into their frequency. I now have an even deeper respect for the bees and the role they play on our planet. I will never forget that day. I'm sure other people have tuned into the bees and I'm hoping they will come and share their experiences. I have bushes planted along the sides of my yard that produce little yellow flowers every spring that attract bees of all sizes. One kind in particular is very large. They are so busy collecting pollen you can even gently touch them and feel how soft they are. It really is quite amazing to pet a bee!

What's killing the bees?
  • Pesticides, Diseases, Herbicides and Insecticides
  • There is a huge debate that Genetically Modified crops are greatly effecting bee pollination.
  • The varroa mite
Ways you can help:
  •  Eat honey from your local beekeepers, this helps to build immunities against allergies from local pollen and supports your local beekeepers.
  • Plant a backyard bee-friendly garden. Plant native plants too. Local bees are more drawn to native plants.
  •  Provide a small container of water for the bees in your garden space.
  •  Avoid pesticides in your yard, it's better for you, your family, your pets and the environment. 
  •  If pest control is necessary try using beneficial insects in your garden. (Bugs that will eat your unwanted bugs.)
  • Sponsor a bee hive
  • Teach your children where honey really comes from. Plant your bee friendly garden together.

The one factor that has been unknown by most humans, that is understood by the beasts, is that Well-being truly does abound, and that you are blessed beings who live in an atmosphere of grace, and that unless you are doing something to pinch off the Well-being, it will be yours. Look for the evidence of the Well-being, and be an advocate for Well-being rather than an advocate for getting rid of what does not feel like Well-being, then little by little, by little, your own personal experience begins to take shape in a way that is more satisfying to you.

Great video! Empowerd child saying her affirmations!

I saw this amazing video and had to share it. This little girl has got it going on! She knows how to say her affirmations! Empower your children! Show them how to create positive self talk and repeat positive affirmations looking in the mirror every day. You are never to young to start learning how to say affirmations.

Disclaimer: We don't recommend having your children stand up on the sink. Let them talk into a mirror located within reach on the wall or use a handheld mirror.




Using affirmations has made a tremendous difference in the quality of my life. Imagine if every one of us spent an entire day really focusing on and paying attention to our thoughts, beliefs and words. We wouldn't worry so much about the future because we would be focused on creating the future we really want. Learning how to use affirmations in your life can be life changing. You learn how to focus on what you want and enforce it with affirmations.

Examples of life changing affirmations can be:
  • I am healthy, happy and wise
  • I love myself
  • I am balanced, healthy, joyful and following my true path.
Create personal affirmations just for you based on what you are wanting to create in your life.
Say them throughout the day. Feel them. When you follow up your thoughts and words with feelings they begin to take form. This is called the law of attraction.

A few of my favorite affirmations are from Louise Hay
  • I rejoice in other people's successes because there is plenty for everyone ~ Louise Hay
  • "I am open and receptive to all the good and abundance in the Universe Wealth can mean more money in your life, but it can also mean dear friends, good health, a happy home and delicious food on the table."
Hay House, Inc. 180x150

If you haven't read any of Louise Hay's books you truely have been missing out. She is the Queen of Affirmations. She understands the power of your thoughts and teaches you in a gentle way how to change your thoughts and change your life. She has a new book out that includes a cd full of affirmations.
It's very affordable. With your purchase you are entered into a drawing for a cruise to the Carribean in January 2011.  A cruise in January would be amazing! Good luck and enjoy.
Remember ~ An inspired child is capable of anything.

Experience Your Good Now!

I'm so excited to share with you Louise Hay's new book.
"Experience Your Good Now".
Louise L. Hay is hands down one most favorite authors. She has taught me and Stacy both the power of our thoughts and how they affect our bodies.
For many years we have referred to her book "You can heal your life".
She is an amazing woman who followed her intuition and will leave an incredible legacy. She has simplified the tools for you to use to work on your subconscious and conscious mind to change your life.

Take the tools you learn from Louise's inspiring new book and teach them to your children now while they are younger and soaking up every little thing you say and do. They truely are learning their core beliefs from you and whomever they are surrounded by. You can also use these tools to help yourself and others that may come to you for help in changing their lives.


Hay House, Inc. 180x150


In this delightful book, Louise L. Hay discusses the power and importance of affirmations and shows you how to apply them right now!

Louise explains that when you state an affirmation, you're really saying to your subconscious mind: "I am taking responsibility. I am aware that there is something I can do to change."

Within these pages, Louise discusses specific topics and concerns (health, fearful emotions, addictions, prosperity issues, love and intimacy, and more) and presents exercises that show you how to make beneficial changes to virtually every area of your life.

On the enclosed CD, Louise offers you helpful information about affirmations that you can also use to your benefit. She recommends that you listen to the CD at any time of the day or night—whenever you'd like positive thoughts and ideas to permeate your consciousness and fill you with hope and joy.

Louise L. Hay, the author of the international bestseller You Can Heal Your Life, is a metaphysical lecturer and teacher with more than 40 million books sold worldwide. For more than 25 years, Louise has helped people throughout the world discover and implement the full potential of their own creative powers for personal growth and self-healing. Louise is the founder and chairman of Hay House, Inc., which disseminates books, CDs, DVDs, and other products that contribute to the healing of the planet.

Anatomy of Transformation: How to Change Your Life Forever...

Anatomy of Transformation: How to Change Your Life Forever...
By David Morelli

What if you could transform your problems into your solutions...would you do it?

We wrestle with our problems so much that they become almost like friends...almost to the point where we couldn’t imagine our lives without them.

Why?

We take our unimaginable potential and stuff it into blocks and beliefs and then we get caught up in our "problems". Here’s the thing, your problems aren’t you! You just need to get “you” out of your problems.

What do I mean?

The only "problem" is how to take your power out of blocks and beliefs that no longer serve you.

Your power (or life-force) is making the blocks or beliefs become your experience. Think about this limiting belief example..."Money is evil". If you have your power locked in this belief (consciously or unconsciously), you’ll make sure you get money as far away as possible. It sounds odd, but this is how your subconscious works.

However, when you take your power out of that belief, the belief itself becomes laughable! "What? Money is evil...ha, money actually supports me in fulfilling my purpose...and, wow, I can’t believe how effortless it's flowing in now."

What’s the point? Your power is in beliefs and blocks that disempower you in innumerable ways.

Does it need to be that way? No.

Here's what to do:

First, find ways to get your power back. What actions do you take in your life that energize and fill you up? Make these a priority.


Second, start empowering the beliefs that serve you. What beliefs are conducive to propelling you towards meeting what you most desire in life?


Third, ONLY AFTER STEP 1 & 2, start taking aligned actions with the new beliefs.


Forth, develop new habits that support the life you want to live.
Soon we’ll be offering a F*R*E*E live call to help you with these steps, but until then start getting your power back and making changes.
