Spread the Love

There is great purpose in Love & Hope

Tonight the benefit "Hope For Haiti Now" is airing on CTV, CBC, Global, and MuchMusic at 8 pm EST.  Tune in at 7 pm for an exclusively Canadian event. 

Will the funds be distributed efficiently?  I don't know - I hope so.  Does Hollywood indulge in celebrity spectacle whenever there is a disaster?  Yea, let's face it ... we all like a good benefit!  But I'm sure the commitment is sincere and a lot of money will be raised.


(Thanks to the Comedy Network for the picture - click on the picture for more information on the benefit)

Here is the spiritual angle: Millions of people will join together to watch the benefit.  By sharing in a collective field of hope, healing, and care viewers can create within their hearts a powerful force of energy that can lift the spirits of those affected and those who are on the ground helping.  (This is not just mystical sounding woo-woo, it's a scientifically proven principle.) 

If you want to participate in this force consciously follow these steps:
  • At a particularly compelling moment in the benefit (wait until your heart strings are being tugged really hard) pause for three minutes
  • Focus all of your care and love in your heart and build this energy to a vibrant feeling of gratitude
  • Breathe deeply for three minutes, keeping your focus in your heart and feeling the gratitude and care
  • Picture this energy expanding and reaching out to those in need
You may think you can't make much of a difference.  Don't let despair get the better of you.  Be the hope you want to share.

And so it is.

Listen to this week's Lovecast for more informtion.

And so it is.

Be a Book Smart Shopper of Spiritual Development

Your spiritual choices have measurable impact on the world around you ...

How many of us know where all of those best-selling, 1-million-copies-sold-world-wide, this-book-will-change-your-life books actually come from?  I am a BIG fan of spiritual books (books of all kinds really!)  However, I believe we need to take a more responsible and sustainable look at the books we purchase. 

To read a spiritually enlightened book without paying attention to how it is published  is not very enlightened at all.


I took a strong stand with my business partners and team members when it came to publishing my book Love Threshold: Practicing the Art of Choosing Love in Every Moment.  Here is the environmental information from just the first run of 1000 printings: 

The production of the title Love Threshold on Rolland Enviro 100 Print paper instead of virgin fibres paper reduces your ecological footprint by:

Trees: 6     Suspended particles in water: 1.1 kg     Solid Waste: 175 kg    
Air emissions: 384 kg     Water: 16, 624 L     Natural Gas: 25 (cubic)m


Is it a perfect solution?  No, perfect solutions don't exist yet.  But it is one of the best choices I can make towards being a part of the solution, instead of the problem.  Did it cost more to publish with the environment in mind?  Yes, absolutely!  My profits may be smaller, but I am far more proud of them this way.

The Sixth Principle of Thresholding speaks of total integration: Practice Love with "Every breath, every word, every movement." 

Next time you buy that fabulous book, take a moment at look at the publishing information.  Look for books that are printed on recycled paper.  Even if it isn't and you buy it anyway - don't buy it in ignorance.  Buy it consciously and know that even the act of looking creates change.

Here's a great website for taking simple action to counter-balance the  effect of the publishing industry on the environment.  You can plant tress for every book you purchase!  Check them out, they are doing wonderful work!

Ecolibris - They also have a partnership with BookMooch - a fantastic book swapping program.
 
And so it is.

Embrace the Release

Love lets go, so that it can begin again.

Releasing the past is a deeply held spiritual principle.  Now is the perfect time to practice letting go so that you can allow for new magic and transformation to begin.  Listen to the Lovecast and learn:
  • How connecting with the natural rhythms of the Earth can enhance your own journey
  • What you can do to celebrate your past, no matter what your personal style
  • The importance of honouring your journey so far in order to support your growth into the future

Release the old.  Make room for more magic.

And so it is.

Spiritual Learning in Disguise

Use it for Development, Not Just Distraction

This is a preview for the movie "Wonderful World" staring Mattew Broderick.  (I still love Ferris Beuller!)  It premiers today in limited release.  If it manages not to wallow too much in Hollywood schlock, it could be a lovely story of revelation, redemption, and transformation.  Many teachers will tell you that watching inspirational movies is a wonderful way to support your spiritual development.  This is true.  But the way you watch inspiration movies is far more important than whether or not you watch them. 

Whenever you watch a movie with a transformational or spiritual theme keep these tips in mind:
  1. Don't just watch the story unfold, challenge it.  Is it authentic and emotionally real?  Even when a story is meant to be magical, it can resonate with a sincere sense of learning and discovery.  Don't settle for less.
  2. Ask yourself what you would do in the same situation.  Allow yourself to be truly informed by the story, not just entertained by it.  How does the story illuminate your own values, challenges, blocks, or gifts?
  3. If you are deeply moved by watching the movie, put one word on the quality it inspired for you.  Was it hope, joy, freedom, or courage?  Hold this quality in your heart, take deep breaths for three minutes, focusing all your energy on this quality.

Purpose Is As Purpose Does

Living On Purpose

January is the month of Dawning at Love Threshold.  January is also the month when I caught a cold and my voice got more than a little wobbly!  So here is a repeat posting of one of my favourite Lovecasts.  It was orginally part of an on-going series.  Next week we will be back talking about beginnings, transformation, and stepping into our greatest truth.  In the mean time, welcome to your new year.  Welcome to your purpose.

December's Global Healing Meditation

Give yourself the gift of 20 minutes of peace ...

I have heard from several people in the past few days that they are experiencing personal issues of health, stress, and emotional fatigue.  (Probably not unusual for this time of year!)  Because this meditation seemed to have a particularly strong resonance for those of us who were on the line this past Sunday, I thought I would take the opportunity to offer it out to everyone.  I don't normally do this, but I can't resist in this case. 

Tip: take a moment before you listen and set an intention for yourself.  Ask yourself "How do I want to feel?" and then pick a few words to describe that feeling. 

Enjoy!  And please let me know what you experienced.

Click here
if you want to register for any of the upcoming meditations.  They are held the final  Sunday evening of every month at 8 pm EST.

Stillness In Action

Every Action on Purpose and in Love


Today's Love Note: Use your talents.  Always and forever, allow your actions to flow from the best of who you really are.  This is stillness in action.


Technically the energy of the Universe doesn't actually move, ever.  All movement is within the realm expression.  The energy of who you are does not move ... you do.  When you move from the center of your being, you are acting in the spirit of stillness.  In this way you become a living conduit of Love and peace, every action becomes a demonstration of your most authentic truth. 


Learning to use your talents - to find your greatest gifts and live them freely, is one way to cultivate the capacity for stillness within your consciousness as is:

  • Seeing things from a spiral  perspective
  • Practicing the Attention Exercise
  • Keeping an Admiration Journal

Find out about each of these tips in the audio lesson Lovecast


Create the space and the energy will follow.

And so it is.
