The Day After Tomorrow
On Friday we’ll all be thinking that the Turkey with all the trimmings was delish‘ and now everyone’s back home with their own leftovers for a week of inventive culinary uses of turkey and stuffing. But what’s this? Gift giving holidays are just around the corner! This means you either need to head to the shopping malls or hunker down on your computer to shop on the internet so gifts arrive in time for those holidays. Yikes! No wonder it’s been called BLACK FRIDAY what with long lines, irritable customers (might this be because of all the sugar they’re consuming?), traffic jams, etc.

Paradigm shift
My friend, Jim Frank from the Malvern Sweat Lodge, makes a different suggestion. He suggests calling the day after Thanksgiving, "You’re welcome day". If we are saying, "Thank you" on Thursday then it naturally makes sense, he reasons, to say, "You’re welcome" on the next day. Sounds good to me.

Saying "You are welcome"
What does it mean to say, "you’re welcome" and really mean it? It moves us from wherever we are into a state of giving even more. We are expressing our own appreciation at being able to give. It means that we give without expecting back, that we love for the sake of loving, that we offer our help out of the kindness of our hearts. "You’re welcome" says, "I love you", "you matter to me", and "you are worthwhile". What a lovely blessing.

Thanks Jim.

And I know he’ll say, "You’re welcome".
"HeyO Dawn, brilliant!!! Yup, I say You’re Welcome. Delightful that you are spreading the good word. Thanks"-jimf

Affirmative holiday tradition
I think Thanksgiving is a wonderful, affirmative holiday tradition. What a better way of remembering to count our blessings than a whole day dedicated to abundance and prosperity? On Thanksgiving we are surrounded with abundance in many areas. We have an abundance of family, friends, food, traditions, parades, children, etc. The feelings of good cheer surround us everywhere we go because Thanksgiving is an American tradition, unlike religious festivals, and its origins are pleasant ones that we probably want to remember: cooperation, collaboration, friendship and sharing (among others).

Count your blessings every day
If we start and end our day, every day, with a feeling of gratitude for everything we have, then we are closer to the Divine and our fellow Beings. Everyone loves to be appreciated so appreciate everyone, especially yourself.

Things to appreciate and give thanks for:

• Twinkling eyes

Father’s Day thoughts
It seems to me that Father’s Day can be a day of remembering that our fathers, and the masculine aspect of all Creation and Creator, are an integral part of the wholeness of all life. While Mother creates the dark, nurturing space of yin, Father provides the pattern and light of yang. Both compliment and balance each other in a beautiful and intricate way and both are necessary.

For my husband
I love to take our daughter out and choose a gift that we can all use as a family, supporting Martin’s commitment to be a wonderful father. One year it was a kite for family kite flying and we had great fun with it. In the evening some nice mommy and daddy time rounds out Father’s Day. We give so much to our children every day that it’s essential to nurture and support the foundation (mommy and daddy) that makes the family unit work. By staying connected and loving we provide a loving, connected and supportive home for our children.

This year
For Father’s Day this year we started out with a special breakfast that I made. He usually makes special breakfast one day on the weekend so I made it this time. I served Martin and Missy with pancakes, turkey bacon, orange juice, scrambled eggs and strawberries that I picked at our bio-dynamic CSA the day before. It was a wonderful hit (it’s what they usually have so of course it was going to be a hit.) Some of Missy’s talents are among the musical, lyrical and poetical type so she made a tape of poetry and songs that she made up on the spot. We went out to sushi for lunch and then lounged around the house for the rest of the day just enjoying each other’s company. He said it was the best Father’s Day he’s ever had! See, it’s all about knowing the man in your life and nurturing him.

My spiritual father
When I was 23 my mother remarried and brought an incredible man into our family. John is my spiritual father and has been there for me whenever I needed him. I’ve always appreciated that and never taken it for granted since I didn’t have a father from 4 to 23.

So this Father’s Day find something, either a present or experience, meaningful for the men in your life and open your heart to a truly meaningful relationship with the wonderful man, whether your biological father or not, who has helped you become the person you are today.

Happy Father’s Day!

Transforming stuck energies
If you get "triggered" by stresses and people in your life, you can use those experiences to realign/ transform the energies that are causing them. They are stuck/ cementized energies and those stuck/ cementized energies prevent you from living a love-centered life and we now know that our part in the evolution of humanity and the earth is to live a love-centered life. Well, Event Temples has a technique to realign the energies that have “cementized” in our energy field. (They can’t be released or removed since they are part of you but you can realign them to they are working for you instead of against you.) By realigning them they are now assisting us in working toward our goal of living from the heart. In The Power of Now terminology, it converts the pain-body into presence-power. It’s quick, easy and you don’t have to be in a quiet place to do it. It supports our journey. When you have this technique you can be grateful when you get trigger because it’s giving you the opportunity to transform what was previously unconscious. How cool is that?

Where to find it
Go to the Event Temples website and sign-in or register and sign-in if you haven’t registered yet. Once you are signed in click on the link in the side navigation that says, “My Journey”. Once the box for your journey comes up, click on, “James’ Notes” link at the bottom of the box. On the right you will then see, “James’ notes archive”. In the list under that you will see, “Neutral Heart Technique”. Click on that title and the text in the box on the left is now the “Neutral Heart Technique”. I copied that text and put it into a word document, changed the margins so it was only on two pages and printed it out.

How to use it
I recommend using it whenever you get triggered or are feeling less than loving. Read through and try the technique a few times. You also have freedom to change it so it works for you. I added in some steps that work for me.

Results
I feel amazing after using this technique. I feel a real shift of energy and get back to being centered in my heart. The "trigger" is now gone and I’m transforming more of the pain-body/ cementized energies. I’ve already heard reports of great success using this technique.
