This is a powerful piece of this work, releasing our past is very powerful and yet very difficult process. Only those who are 100% committed will achieve the desired results.
It works like this - let say you want to get new carpet in your bedroom. First you go pick out new carpet, have it delivered and schedule someone to install it. The installer shows up and you have not done any prep work, (in other words your furniture, personal belongings and the various stuff scattered around the room is still there (ok so some people are neat, you I will deal with later, for now we are talking about the average person) IN order to install the new carpet you have to “clear out” the old stuff, move your furniture and clean up the room. Now you can stand there and argue with the installer that it is all your “stuff” and you cant just throw it away, and you love your room the way it is, you need to keep the room as it is, you just want the carpet replaced. ( Most likely you will be hearing the door slam as he walks out.)
In order to create new things, in new ways you have to clean up the old, and get rid of (release) those things that don’t serve you, except to prevent moving forward. This includes emotional energy and attachment to our pain and suffering we experienced as children.
A powerful part of that is awareness, often we become aware of our past experiences and try to process them as if our mind can resolve the pain and suffering. Conventional teaching is we have to talk about and feel all of our emotions, sometimes for years. I know people that have been in therapy most of their lives and still haven’t resolved their issues. Perhaps they have not found the right place to tap. Here is a story that explains what I mean.
Once a giant ship’s engine failed. The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure out how to fix the engine. Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a youngster. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom. Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed!
A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars
."What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!" So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill
"The man sent a bill that read,
Tapping with a hammer...................................$2
Knowing where to tap................................$9998
So it is not that the process is wrong, perhaps it simply means that you have to know where to tap.
Knowing how to release the past is vital and can save hours, days, even years of struggle.
We all have past issues, we all have childhood pain and suffering, some more intense, some ingrained deeper, and some truly devastating. What we choose to do with it and how we deal with it is what makes the difference between staying stuck and being able to move into valuing ourselves enough to have what we want currently. Trying to move emotional trauma and mind controlled childhood fears is nearly impossible using the mind and your thoughts.
Step one is learning how to control your own mind. This is why many people have watched the Secret and other positive programs and still struggle with being unable to make any of it work. I have been there and tried it. I can tell you it is nearly impossible. Your mind and your own thoughts are your greatest challenge to overcome, and yet they are the most powerful tools to create what you want. Try holding a fire hose that is turned on full force, one man cannot do it himself, it takes several people to control the force that is flowing through the hose. You cannot manage nor control your thoughts, until you take control of your mind. As you are reading this, even now your mind is arguing with the validity of these statements, unless you know and understand the power and truth of what I am saying. Until you agree and are willing to do the work, you will struggle and be frustrated.
Step two – If and when you can control your mind, you now can use your awareness to see and know what you are dealing with, decide what you are going to allow in you life and use your thoughts in a positive way. Does this mean you ignore your past? No, but it no longer can create the emotional devastation that did before, you decide what you will allow it to do, or better yet you will decide that it happened, it is over and nothing you can do will change it. You will decide that everything that has happened is part of your life, you will take the lesson from every experience and use it wisely, (Now you know where to TAP!!!!)
It is an interesting and complex journey, very difficult if attempted alone, much easier if we join together. Every day you can choose what you are going to do with that day. You can choose to reach out to those you love and care about and support and encourage each other, spreading Love and Joy, or you can keep holding that Anger Fear and Resentment in your Heart. This is my effort to extend my hand to you, to share my Heart and Joy with you, and hopefully help you experience a piece of what the Divine has given me.

Change Your Life
Where to begin
In talking to people about my work and studying the experiences of those around me, I see the most difficult part of change is deciding where to begin. To facilitate that change I have begun to unravel parts of the dynamics involved and the steps required to achieve clarity. Several people have told me that they have watched the “Secret” movie many times or listened to the CD’s. What I see from my perspective and having been able to produce results myself, is this, watching and listening to these books, movies and tapes is important, but in and of themselves they will never enable you to produce results.
It is much like going to Church on Sunday, it makes you feel good, but by Monday morning you are right back in life’s challenges and the good feeling is usually gone. Being spiritual and experiencing the Divine doesn’t come from going to church. Achieving change in your life cannot come from listening to tapes or movies, although they may be helpful to understand the path, the possibilities, and the concepts.
So in order to get results in your own life we have to start at the beginning –
You have to Look at the big picture. If you don’t know or understand what got you to where you are, you cannot move in a different direction for long, nor will you be able to maintain movement in any other direction. So you have to accept that you and only you put you were you are. IF and when you get that, it accomplishes two things,
One- you will now know and understand your own power, from that you will know and understand that you can and will change any part of your life you want to.
Two – there is no one else to blame, eliminating the need to project our problems on to someone else. Thereby you won’t get caught in the trap of past conditioning and trying to rationalize your lack of results as someone else’s fault.
Now that you have accepted that you have created Everything you currently have, and realize that you also can use that same power to create anything you desire, you can move to the next step.
Your thoughts, mind control – the engine of creation. Unless you can control your thoughts you are working against the most powerful force in the universe. You are literally experiencing the results of your own Holy war. This is where depression and many psychotic issues arise and feed on. This in and of itself takes a lot of practice and for sake of simplicity here I can only touch on the basics. Everything that you have or will create in the future rises out of your thoughts. Most people are unable on any level to control their thoughts (mind) for any length of time. (more than a few seconds actually) To achieve results that are satisfying you MUST learn to get control of your mind and thoughts so that you are able to direct the Force of your own creative power to achieve your desires.
Clarity – You have to learn how to achieve absolute clarity, and reach that place where your thoughts resonate with your heart.
Desire – Your new clarity now defines what you desire, and your desire has to be in harmony with your source, (if you have done your homework, you will understand this)
Emotion – Now you have to bring emotion into the process, this is the spark that ignites your desire, it is what the Divine, the Universal Energy, Your source all understand emotional energy. This signals that what you are sending out is very important to you. Be careful here as negative energy is just as powerful as positive energy, therefore your anger, sadness and fear can create with lightning speed (as many of us have experienced). As emotion is tied to your thoughts this is why it is essential to be able to control your thoughts.
Be what you want to become – the most difficult part and yet the most essential. It is very difficult to feel rich when you don’t have any money and are struggling each week, but to change your experience you have to change what you feel inside, you have to find things and thoughts and feelings that put you in to the state that you want to achieve. This creates a harmonic energy and that the law of attraction understands. As this Law is absolute, you Always attract what you are feeling, is is essential that you get this one.
Commitment – Once you have arrived here, it is essential that you commit to the changes you desire, and it has to be Absolute, 100%, you have to commit to yourself that you are going forward and will accomplish your goal and no one, and nothing will or can stop you.
Now you have experienced your will in creating your desire and dream, this step is about letting go. Not letting go of all the work you have done and it does not mean that you have to let go of having what you want. This is where you give your desire and dream to your Source, the Divine, Universal Energy. You have to trust that it will manifest in perfect timing and in the perfect way. Trusting that all is working, you cannot decide how or when it will come about. This is where many people get stuck and fail or simply decide this stuff doesn’t work. If you simply send your desire on its way and ask for it to manifest, you do pay attention to your intuition and guidance, if you are directed to take an action then do so, just don’t try to force your desire into being. Much like a flower you planted, you cannot make it grow overnight. But if you water it and feed it soon you will have your flower, and soon you will have your desire and dream.

Finding The Source
Finding The Source
In the Star Wars movies we were introduced to the saying “Be the force” and “May the force be with you”. In our daily lives we attempt to change things and people around us in order to “Feel” our connection to this energy. IN reality the “Force” is our connection to our own source energy and power, our connection to the unlimited Divine Power that is our normal state before our parents and others told us that we were worthless.
If you want to understand this better read this article-
http://www.myinnermagic.com/online/resources/genius-dip
What I am finding is that I had to learn to Love myself in all of the ways I was trying to Love others. It is a very difficult thing to learn. I see many people struggling with this one process. And yet it is the root of connecting to source and tapping into the Power that is accessible to all of us. When you Love yourself completely you will not allow others to abuse you no matter what they “SAY” about their behaviors, or allow others to justify their misuse of your love and energy. You no longer accept pain and suffering as part of life. Much like a child that you would protect with your life, you now treat yourself the same way, and begin to allow only the Loving things that make you feel good to be part of your life. Until you achieve that place, manifesting anything for yourself is difficult and requires a lot of effort. Once you have begun to Love your self regularly it becomes easier to manifest what you want.
One trap that we all fall into is expecting someone else to do this work for us. I am here to tell you it doesn’t work, been there and done that! Even in relationships we expect out partner to provide the love we need to make us feel good, and yet we don’t allow them access to our divine self. Our fears and conditioning prevent the heart from opening, and the result is tension and resistance. We find our self trapped in an endless battle of egos.
Accept that you cannot change the other person, it takes two to Tango. It is much like two contractors with two different sets of plans trying to build the same house, imagine the chaos and suffering that would result, and most likely the house would never be built, at best the whole project would get bogged down in daily arguments about whose design and plans were the right ones. A true partnership requires sitting down and working out a compromise, a new set of plans that incorporates ideas and changes from both sides, now it would be easy to build the house, and yes it may look different than either imagined, perhaps a superior design, better than either would have achieved alone. This is Synergy and the blending of two Divine sources. The Power, Beauty and Love that could be achieved from this union is beyond the imagination of most people.
If you put two locomotives on the same track, pulling together you more than double the power they have individually, if you put them on the same track traveling in different directions(towards each other) you have a disaster, the degree of that disaster depends on the distance of their perspective, if they are a large distance apart, sooner or later they will meet at some point, and end up in a pile of mangled steel.
Back to the Force, You have to be the force, one way to do that is to find your heart and what is true for you. It doesn’t mean that you cannot compromise what is important for you, it does mean that you have to know what that is, and find the best way to achieve that. If those around you cannot or do not support that and continually sabotage your mission, you have two choices, find a way to draw new plans together or move on. This is the greatest challenge to loving yourself enough. YOU and only YOU can know and can decide what that is. When you do love yourself enough you will no longer allow others to rob you of your power and feeling good, no matter what type of arrangement you currently have with them. Every choice and decision has to be based on what you Heart needs and wants in this life. No one else will give that to you. At best a partner can only share with you that piece of their own self that they choose to give you. If they are unable to Love their own self enough, they will want and need you to provide what they are lacking. IN that process they are not connected to their source and therefore cannot possibly even be aware of your needs, or be able to connect and share life in a meaningful way.
In summary to find the Source (Force) and to experience what that can provide, it requires work and consciousness. You have to Love yourself, spend time going within and experiencing the Divine within yourself. Once you can achieve that in a regular basis the world around you will change.

Heart Dynamics and Harmonics
What we feel often conflicts with what we are and how we think, a process known as cognitive dissonance, which Psychologist Leon Festinger proposed in a summary of his theory in1950. If you change a person’s behavior, his thoughts and feeling will change to minimize the dissonance.
What I have begun to discover is this, when someone speaks to us in a way that challenges any of these three - our thoughts, feelings or behaviors is also creates similar dissonance. In order to bring things back into balance within ourselves, we try to make the other person wrong, or attempt to “educate” them regarding our beliefs. Hopefully they get it, otherwise things begin to disintegrate. So by observing the behaviors, we see where the thoughts and feelings are. Hence the saying “actions speak louder than words”
By placing our attention in our heart, we bypass the ego and see and feel things much differently. We work towards connecting and balancing things in our lives versus trying to shake off the dissonance. As the heart is the closest to love, it is as close as we can get to being love and giving love. Therein lies the dynamics of heart, mind, and actions in harmony. The mind (ego) has the capacity to rationalize, and often our feelings are the result of distorted thoughts, which then produces irrational behaviors. OH the vicious cycle begins. So in order to bring in balance and harmony wee have to begin in the heart and move that energy into the mind, as we work to eliminate the dissonance that this produces in our feelings, we have to repeatedly and sometimes continuously go back to the Heart.
