Physical empowerment

Lets take a look at the aspects of physical empowerment. Your life, your health, your physical environment. All of the physical things around you both living and not living. How are you going to get what is out of balance into balance? First off what do you want to change? Your weight perhaps? The way you look? Of course there is diet and exercise. What about acid and base? How about conscious and unconscious eating? When you learn more about how to be aware and observe, then when you ask yourself "How can change the way I look and feel, you will have a system to help make some changes. I was at a friends house recently. One person came in, sat down and proceeded to finish off half a bowl of potato chips. I tried to stop her by calling her name a couple times in an attempt to wake her. She stopped with eyes wide open and she woke up to what she was doing to herself. She was as shocked at what she was doing as she was because someone was calling her name. People walk around in a state of sleep. They do things like a robot on automatic pilot. After a while they look in the mirror and say "Oh my gosh, what happened?" Its time to wake up before it becomes too late to really live.

EMOTIONAL EMPOWERMENT

What does your life feel like? What factors are preventing you from getting out of that chair and into a different state of being? The first thing you have to look at is, do you have control over your emotions or do they have control over you. Achieving the balance is the key. Even if you have no emotions, it means that you are way out of balance. How can you generate happiness? How do you remove the barriers to having happier more balanced life? When you say, I want to be happy. What does that mean? How can your world give you something unless you define it? Think about all the things you wish to change about your life. How do you neutralize the bad things? How can you draw in more of the positive life force giving things? Are you still looking for peace of mind? Emotions flow, thoughts flow, your life flows. When we learn how to adjust the flow we can use what is a natural process to enhance our lives and the lives of many others. Stress puts a negative effect on our bodies. Once we learn how to eliminate stress at the source then we have more energy for our own health. There are many resources for stress management. I am going to give you one for preemptive stress elimination. You can remove stress at its source by taking some action towards eliminating the factors that cause stress.

Mental Empowerment

Feed your body feed your head. Let's take an honest look at is what you are allowing to go into your head. If you eat bad food you will have a bad body. If you feed your head with bad images, bad words, and bad thoughts you will get a bad head. Sounds simple enough. Would you like to know a little more about the power you have over your thoughts and body? Try this on for size. Here is an experiment. 1. Close your eyes 2. Visualize biting into a lemon. 3. Remember the sour taste and texture. 4. Count to 10 while thinking about the lemon. 5. Is your mouth watering? Now think about this for a second. Is there really the bite of a lemon in your mouth? Did your body react though? Of course it did. Look at the command you have over your body just by thinking. What are the bad thoughts and images doing to you? In the Self Empowerment Guide, there are several easy to use techniques to counter the constant bombardment of thoughts and images that continue to give you disease. Do you like the discomfort that these thoughts and situations give you? I didnt think so. Your thoughts can either help you or hurt you. You can learn to change your thoughts and change your life for the better.

Spiritual Empowerment

Would you like to align your life with the positive things just outside your current reach? There are the things we evolve from and the things we don't evolve from. When we have examples of hardship around us it is our choice to have them there to grow from. It is also our choice to move those experiences away from us as well. Even when we complain and whine about how hard things are, we are given an opportunity to evolve from them. There is always free will choice even when we feel or have forgotten that we truly have it. There is even the free will choice to remember or not that you have free will choice. Take a look around you at the people around you. Who are your friends, confidants your mentors and your students? Why are they here? They are here to assist you in your growth and evolution. Deep inside they all understand this and willingly participate in helping you create the situations you need for the maximum amount of growth that you can handle. Whether you chose to see this or not is very truly up to you. Not seeing or not believing a thing is there is your choice but the sooner you come to the realization that we are all creators of our world and co-creators of our world it will be easier to understand that putting effort into evolving will help not only ourselves but all of us. If you truly feel it is not worth the effort, how about doing it because you are going to help that little girl on the swing set? That little boy playing in the sand box. How about the friend or family member who just needs a push in the right direction. That animal who is wondering where its next meal might come from. Working on your evolution sends a rippling effect to all of us. You are worth it and so are we. We are all truly courageous individuals to take on this evolution on behalf of all of us. This is a beautiful thing.

Love And Peace

1.Let's fill our minds with thoughts of peace, courage, health, and hope, for "our life is what our thoughts make it." 2.Let's never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Never waste a minute thinking about people we don't like. 3.Instead of worrying about ingratitude, let's expect it. Let's remember that Jesus healed ten lepers in one day--and only one thanked Him. Why should we expect more gratitude than Jesus got? 4.Count your blessings -- not your troubles! 5.Let's not imitate others. Let's find ourselves and be ourselves, for "envy is ignorance" and "imitation is suicide." 6.When fate hands us a lemon, let's try to make a lemonade. 7.Let's forget our own unhappiness -- by trying to create a little happiness for others. When you are good to others, you are best to yourself.
