Senior Moment or Lack of Attention
March 12th, 2011
Lately I’ve heard numerous friends comment that they’ve had either “blonde” or “senior” moments. I myself had wondered if my memory was getting bad since I wasn’t remembering things as easily as I used to. After considering the amount of mucus-forming foods I was eating I also considered the possibility that my fruits and vegetables aren’t fresh enough and consequently aren’t providing me with enough brain food. My mind is certainly too busy so maybe spending more time meditating will help. I just wasn’t quite sure.
After considering the issue a bit further I am working on a theory that, while there may be other factors at play, the biggest problem is attention. Paramahansa Yogananda said that attention is the needle that puts the grooves in the record of memory.
So if you’re having problems remembering things, before you start limiting yourself with unhelpful beliefs, consider whether or not you are doing a good enough job of paying attention.

January 26th, 2011
The Year Ahead – 2011 Susan Miller brings us this book to assist us through the ups and downs of new moon, planet influence, eclipses and the like.
Sought-after astrology 
One of the hottest astrologers of our time is Susan Miller. Her website, Astrology Zone, gets “six million unique readers per month and 17 million page views”. That’s impressive! And it must be reliable if people to keep coming back month after month. About Susan In addition to astrology, Susan is also a syndicated columnist and best-selling author. I’ve enjoyed her company a couple of times when she’s in town (Philadelphia, to record her astrology show for Comcast). She really knows her astrology and is also quite a wonderful person. Missy really likes her too. Astrology Zone products 
Phone App: I got the Astrology Zone Premier for my iPhone and just love it. It delivers not only your daily horoscope but you can use it to help your choose a gift for someone (their birth date tells you what gift they would like), decide if that person you met at the club has potential (see if your signs are compatible) plus so much more. Website: You can look at your monthly horoscope,use her life and love tools for everyday life (Matchmaker by Sign, Fitness by Sign, Stress Busters by Sign, Gift Guide by Sign, Seducing Your Lover by Sign, Vacation Tips by Sign, Wealth Tips by Sign), find your place in the Universe, join her community, read the books she’s read in the reading room. Audio: You can even download your Astrology Zone horoscope and listen to it when you have time. My experience I like to look at my horoscope the day after and see if what was predicted was accurate. After doing this for a while I’ve decided I’m going to start reading them sooner because, in addition to being pretty accurate, the horoscopes contain tips on the best projects to tackle on a given day. I looked back after Martin and I had a particularly enjoyable evening together and there it was in my horoscope. If I had looked at my horoscope that morning I would have planned more time and maximized the alignment of the stars. Check out Astrology Zone and get your astrological tools working for you
The Secret Code of Success
December 2nd, 2010
What this book is about:
Have you ever done affirmations? How about having done a million bazillion of them and wondering why your life hasn’t changed? Well, Dr. Noah St. John had done his share but his life hadn’t changed so he wondered what he was doing wrong until he realized why affirmations don’t work. They don’t work because they hit the conscious part of your mind and the beliefs that create your life situation are held in your sub-conscious mind. He also realized that the brain thinks in questions so he created afFORMations: You ask a question and your brain starts looking for the answers and evidence of what you are asking. According to the Law of Attraction, you attract what you pay attention to and what you look for. So, “Why am I so happy?” makes your mind start looking for all the ways you are happy and you get happier.
The exercises in the book:
Now in order to create the right afformations you need to know what you need to change: those beliefs that aren’t working for you. This book offers easy and comprehensive exercises that shine the light into your sub-conscious mind so you can change those beliefs that aren’t working for you.
My experience:
We started doing afformations and the exercises in the book and within a few weeks (2 or 3) my husband had manifested a promotion at work where he’s now doing what he really enjoys and is much happier. Our financial situation is shifting too as well as our relationship.
It’s a thing of beauty.
But remember, you have to ask the right questions and that happens by getting to know your subconscious.
Enjoy!

Kim Eng’s meditation cd
September 19th, 2010
What this CD is
In this CD of meditations Kim Eng teaches the fine art of paying attention. Is it really that easy, just pay attention… you may ask. Well it is and it isn’t. That’s why I call it a “fine art”. These meditations are centered around our normal activities of eating, walking and sleeping and by bringing more consciousness into these activities it can make us more conscious at other “ordinary” moments in our lives.
How to use this CD
These meditations can be used throughout the day or as you need them. For the daily activities there’s one for conscious eating, one for walking and one for entering sleep consciously. The as needed ones are for things like dissolving the pain-body. I like to listen to the one for Entering Sleep Consciously. It really does affect my dreams positively and my waking consciousness is better. Kim recommends choosing one and listening to it for a while before moving on to another one or adding another one.
My experience
I find that by regularly listening to meditations from this CD it helps me to be more conscious at other times even when I’m not listening to it. One day I had the experience of constantly being pulled back into the moment. It only lasted that day but I think it was my Soul showing me what I’m working towards and now I know what it feels like.
About Kim Eng
Kim and Eckhart Tolle have been working together for many years and this CD goes hand-in-hand with Eckhart’s book A New Earth.
