Ending Procrastination Once and For All
I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are ready for a great week, enjoying the warmer weather and finding greater fulfillment in each moment.
Today’s post is about Ending Procrastination Once and For All which is definitely possible. Procrastination is caused by several emotional states:
1) fear of failure,
2) fear of success, which is the mirror image of failure and
3) perfectionism
All of these causes are just habits of mind, thinking and beliefs which can be released easier than you might presently think. Just keep an open mind until you’ve listened to the Tapping World Summit audios found on the attached links.
But, no matter what the cause procrastination can be overcome regardless of the cause using tapping or EFT,aka, emotional freedom technique.
My colleague and founder of the Tapping Solution, Nick Ortner, is holding the complimentary 2011 Tapping World Summit during this introductory period. The audios are complimentary to listen to as a way to sample the work being done with EFT or tapping to release the blocks that procrastination cause. It is easy, fun and anyone can learn this method with a little focus.
I have found tapping helpful in dealing with some procrastination and success issues with completing the writing of my book, Making Friends with Angels. Tapping might be just the thing you’re looking for for relief.
If not, they’re still available until 8pm EST tonight at which time you can join Lindsay Kenny on:
Ending Procrastination Once and For All is ready for you to listen to at the 2011 Tapping World Summit. Go there to listen for yourself. If you are half as impressed as I was, and am now, then it will be helpful for releasing the blocks you need to get rid.
Additionally, Mary Ayers has a 2011 Tapping World Summit presentation on the topic of – From Zero to Hero: Using Tapping to Fly Into Action. This is related to procrastination in that once the energy blocks are released the next step is to move into the area of success you’ve been holding back on Mary will be teaching some good tips on that.
And speaking of procrastination I have a very important question for you today…
Are you going to procrastinate listening to today’s calls or are you going to listen in, do some tapping and get the results you’re looking for in your life? It is an obvious question, but needs to be asked. Commit to taking the valuable opportunity to listen in on this limited time 2011 Tapping World Summit opportunity. Nick is holding the conference for just a week, then closing it for this cycle.
The choice is yours, it always is. My commitment as a spiritual teacher is to bring the best resources to your attention for maximum happiness, success and well-being. Then you can take it from there. Follow your inner voice to listen if there is something good in this for you.
I’ve been listen to Nick and the group of teachers for 18 months. It has helped me and my partner deal with all sorts of issues.
Remember, attracting what you want into your life is about you making a conscious choice to have something different…something better, and to open a door to happier living.
Which means that in this moment you have a choice to listen in to the calls or to procrastinate and put it off for things that you “believe” are more important.
So in this moment, what choice are you making for what you want for your future?
There’s a great opportunity to listen to these amazing calls every day but you have to take the action to show up and listen in to the 2011 Tapping World Summit.
Don’t procrastinate the life that you want any more.
It’s your life and you deserve to get everything you’ve ever wanted.
So find a way to get there tonight and you’ll see that Lindsay and Mary will make moving forward effortless and fun.
And in the meantime if you haven’t listened to yesterday’s calls make sure to do that now by clicking on this 2011 Tapping World Summit link here or any others on this page with the phrase, Tapping World Summit…
Positive change is possible but must be sustainable. EFT is perfect for working through the old beliefs, struggles and habits of mind that keep you stuck. Any real effort to achieve good emotional health and well-being must be sustainable while avoiding extremes of self-denial of those bad habits or indulgence in habit that are not helping you move forward towards greater well-being.
There isn’t any obligation to investigate for yourself. Visiting the 2011 Tapping World Summit might be just the thing you’re looking for for relief.
I hope you will give yourself the gift of exploring the Tapping Solution today. It could help you turn the corner when dealing with procrastination, success and dozens of other issues.that says.
Wishing you health and happiness,

CBS’s Suspension of ‘Two and a Half Men’
While reading a news report about Charlie Sheen’s reaction to the popular show ‘Two and a Half Men’ being suspended by the producer Lorre and CBS’s, it occurred to me that a dose of kindness would be in order. Charlie is reacting in anger and attacking the producer after hearing the news of the show being placed on hold until issues are resolved.
Reacting in anger is a sign of frustration, but focusing on the obligations and responsibilities of the producer is a more proactive approach. Every relationship is better served by kindness and understanding. Kindness is an act of respecting and honoring oneself. Kindness towards those with who you and I, or in this case Charlie Sheen, has relationships with is the higher road to take allowing for resolution to the TV show crisis.
Kindness creates the opportunity for healing, whereas, reacting with blame, name calling or anger give rise to more tensions. Tension is a form of friction which serves neither party. If Charlie keeps creating more tension both parties will move apart rather than cooperate for mutual benefit.
Anger is also a destructive defense mechanism which only builds a greater wall between the two parties, Charlie Sheen and Two and a Half Men show producer Lorre.
Harming oneself is bad enough, but harming another person creates a great deal more negative karma. The greatest benefit comes from cooperation rather than antagonism. There are more good possible outcomes when coming together to work through a challenge.
Attacking others, especially those who have given us opportunities to make living, undermines both the attacker and the person being attacked. The only way forward for a healing to take place is through acknowledging one’s own errors and making efforts to heal them. Without kindness and compassion relationships will be marred by the scars of hurt and anger.
I always recommend to those I teach about healing anger, injury, blaming study a series called Loving Kindness Meditations short course by Sharon Salzberg.
Anger is caused by pain or hurt. But if you or I react in anger with more injury to the other person, then more anger results. Compassion is the antidote to anger and injury. Compassion focuses on the other person’s needs. In this case that would be the fans, CBS network executives and the producer. Does Two and Half Men producer Lorre have a right and obligation to protect the show, the network from threats to the show? Most would say, yes he does. He is the boss. What employer would tolerate illegal conduct from an employee, even a highly paid contract employee?
In the words of Sharon Salzberg, “Loving kindness meditations are not a technique for repressing your awareness of life’s pain. Rather, it is a way to break down the artificial mental barriers that separate you from others.”
The benefit of watching another person, whether Charlie Sheen, or any public figure struggle with tough emotions, is that you and I can learn how to not face a similar situation. We can learn from each other even when there are bloopers being expressed. Two and a Half Men is a very popular show with a huge following and provides CBS with strong ratings. It would benefit all parties if Charlie would draw down the anger, focus on the need of the show, and his loyal fan following. This takes some restraint but will give him the opportunity to practice compassion, kindness and understanding.
I recommend this wonderfully easy to use reflective Loving Kindness Meditation practice in order to reduce emotional friction while increasing skills to cope with hurts, disappointments and daily challenges. The need for more kindness towards Two and a Half Men producer Lorre is certainly called for. After all, he is the boss, and what he is doing is reasonable given the recent crisis.
If you, or someone you know is struggling with anger, hurt feelings or would benefit from developing empathy and compassion, then click on the links called Loving Kindness Meditations to get a copy for developing this life saving skill. This series is easy to use.
Wishing you loving kindness and healing,

A Course In Weight Loss on Oprah’s Top Things List
Every year at this time Oprah creates a list of her top things she appreciates from the year. In late November Oprah placed A Course in Weight Loss by Marianne Williamson on the list, and gave away a copy to each guest on her Oprah TV Show.
As seen in O Magazine December issue – Oprah’s Favorite Things 2010: A Course in Weight Loss. This book and audio series by Marianne Williamson was one of the items on Oprah’s list this year. Why? Because it takes a fresh new look at weight loss, dieting and more…something so many Americans are struggling with.
What’s the connection between weight loss and spirituality?
New York Times best-selling author Marianne Williamson, author of Return to Love and Every Day Miracles answers that question in A Course in Weight Loss, featuring 21 spiritual lessons for surrendering your weight forever. The lessons in this book will help you shift your relationship with your body and focus not on how quickly you lose weight but on how holistically you lose weight.
“A Course in Weight Loss is about retraining your mind to let the light of a higher consciousness be your guide—to release the burdens and fears your weight represents. It’s not a quick fix. The results will come only from your full dedication and commitment to the process… It is the miracle we’ve been waiting for.”
— Oprah, from The Oprah Magazine, December 2010 issue
Get ready to begin a new relationship with food…and with yourself.

This new work brings you 21 spiritual lessons to help you surrender your weight forever. These lessons are taken form a holistic paradigm for weight loss, addressing the spiritual, emotional, and psychological elements involved in what Williamson refers to as “conscious weight loss.” If you are a food addict, a compulsive eater, or someone who for any reason sees food as the enemy, this book is for you.
Marianne Williamson’s intention is to shift the relationship to eating food to being one of joy and positive pleasure, giving the reader a new perspective on food. In truth, food is medicine, food is life giving substance.
A Course in Weight Loss addresses the true causal root of your weight-loss issues: a place within you where you have forgotten your divine perfection. This forgetfulness has confused not only your mind but also your body, making you reach for that which cannot sustain you . . . and reject that which does. As your mind reclaims its spiritual intelligence, your body will reclaim its natural intelligence as well.
The 21 lessons in this book will take you on a deep, sacred journey. One step at a time, you will learn to shift your relationship with yourself—and your body—from one of fear to one of love. And you will begin to integrate the various parts of yourself—mind, body, and spirit—to become, once again, and in all ways, the beautiful and peaceful person you were created to be.
As Williamson writes: “When it comes to your enjoyment of eating, your best days are not behind you but ahead of you!” So get ready to begin a new relationship with food . . . and with yourself.

Among her other 9 published books, four of them — including A Return to Love – were #1 New York Times Bestsellers. A Return to Love is considered a must-read of The New Spirituality.

I am Grateful is a Chant
One of the most effective, life enriching chants is: I am grateful…I am grateful…I am grateful. This chant is a healing thought bringing balance into your entire life.
Gratitude awakens us to far more than receiving things from others. Gratitude releases energy from the human soul or chalice. The deepest gratitude allows us to see the reflection of ALL things good within our own mind and heart.
Try making gratitude an all pervasive attitude you take towards whatever happens. One of the most powerful opportunities to use gratitude is when you are ill, lost a loved one or left a job. These are the most difficult times to feel anything good, yet it is exactly at these moments when gratitude will assist you the most. Why is that?
Gratitude helps you see the bigger picture. It allows you to see the good in life vs the losses. Losses are necessary to open the door to new love, new life, new jobs, to heal the cause of illness. We tend to look at life in a dualistic way, seeing the things we love and the things we hate or resist. Yet, the entire process is beneficial.
Sometimes I envision my life as a garden. In the Fall thinning, pruning and removal of dead plants needs to take place. When the Spring arrives I plant new plants, seed the garden with new life and nurture new crops of flowers, fruit and vegetables.
If you watch your life as the seasonal changes that take place in the garden it becomes easier to be grateful for the harvests and periods of pruning when the garden appears to be in decline. Losses are important in order to make the way for new life for the next cycle.
If you repeat the phrase “I am grateful” throughout as many moment of life you can whether “good” or “bad”, joyful or sorrowful experiences, victories or defeats, then life more abundant will appear along the way. Gratitude opens the ability of our emotions and mind to digest our experiences, making use of them to form knowledge. The wisdom to live life fully comes through awakening an awareness of gratitude.
Try repeating this phrase each morning when you awakening…I am grateful…I am grateful…I am grateful. Do this for 30-60 seconds. Notice how you feel.
Be sure to sign up for my newsletter in the upper right hand side of this page to keep in touch regarding tele-seminar classes I will teach on this and other life enriching subjects.
Karmic Benefits Are Increased During Full Moon Cycles
Today is the Sun in Libra, aka, the Full Moon of Libra. Whatever intentions, actions and activities you engage in today will be magnified by the streams of electro-magnetic energy. Like the sea life at the shore that feeds on the harvest of life when the tides are high, so too are human kind during the cycles of increased energy from the surrounding ocean of life.
Farmers know that being mindful of the cycles of Sun and full moon when planting seeds create better crop yields. The same energy and cycles are affecting the entire planet, solar system and galaxcy. There are clearly cycles of electro-magnetic energy which rise and fall in a rthymic manner. We have yet to scientifically fully understand the depth of the electro-magnetic energy cycles from the Sun, distant stars and galaxcy. Some people disregard them altogether as superstition because the body of scienfic knowledge is still small, while others have been studying Sun Cycles for thousands of years. Only recently has the notion of dark matter, which is the fabric of the universe, been grasped. Enlightened masters have known about dark matter for eons, calling it the fabric of life. Perhaps what science calls dark matter is a network of electrical fibers that act as the nervous system for commuication. If the human body has a fiberous network, why not the universe from which the human body is just a tiny micro cosmic reflection?
In the ancient wisdom, Buddhist, Hindu and Chinese wisdom traditions understanding the relationship of mankind to the greater universe has been a source of study for spiritual practice. According to the Buddhist masters, both positive karmic benefits and destructive consequences are multiplied 1,000′s of times during the full moon period. Make special efforts to express loving-kindness, compassion, generosity and joyfulness the 2-3 days preceding a full moon, especially the day of the full and the 2-3 days following the full moon. These days are more powerful.
No harm can come from exercising self-discipline to be more mindful of your conduct during these times. Only good will come from efforts to be your better Self, expressing positive qualities in each moment. This is the path of happiness.
Activities which are particularly important today would be meditation, prayers for the welfare of the world, and those you love, service projects, and engaging in life long passions which are philanthropic.
Blessings for a prosperous day.
Free Beginner’s Guide to the Joys of Meditation Course
Four Gates is the company I founded 14 years ago when I heard Tom Brokaw report on the NBC evening news that prozac had become the fifth most commonly prescribed drug in America. This was an alarm bell for me. It meant that many of my fellow Americans were having trouble coping with loss, grief, stress, divorce, financial uncertainty and more. Taking drugs only masks the suffering rather than address the causes of daily suffering. Meditation builds skills for coping and conquering stress, loss, grief and suffering.

Caring for One Another Creates a Flow of Blessings
Caring for one another creates a flow of blessings from the Angelic Kingdom, God and the Masters which you often times never imagine in the beginning of the experience. You never really know where the journey of love will lead you at the outset of the experience. But, if you reach out to someone around you that is hurting and in need, often you receive the gift of love in return.
Here is a story my friend Monika shared with me recently. See if this story of caring for another creates a flow of blessings for you too. You might find yourself knodding your head in agreement, “Yes, I have been there when I performed a random act of kindness.”
“Someone just gave me a prescious gift. While drinking my cup of coffee outside at a cafe I was feeling slightly alone. A disabled man approached me asking for food. My first reaction was judgement because of his appearance. But then something happened. I bought him as much food that I could afford to. He ate with me at my table while I drank my coffe. We sat together for some time talking about life. The love that I felt towards him was priceless. His name is Edward. I want to thank Edward for this gift of love we experienced in a moment where two people sharing some time together just being there with one another. Edward reached out when in need, and I reached back to help him have a nice meal. I lost the feeling of loneliness and was given a precious gift by seeing that when we help someone, we feel love too. I don’t feel alone anymore. I realized we are ALL ONE family here to help each other in times of need.”
When you express love and compassion towards others through random acts of kindness something amazing happens. You are blessed as well by the energy of love flowing through us to that person in need. We know love through expressing love. We experience love when giving love in service to others. Love is a current that is ours only when we maintain the flow of love.
When the opportunity presents itself to help someone, reach out. You are a servant of love when you express love and compassion to others.
Couples Arguments Cause Clogged Arteries
Couples Arguments Cause Clogged Arteries
A recent study of men and women’s communication styles in relationships at the University of Utah revealed that contentious, angry and negative arguments between couples significantly increased the risk of clogged arteries. Women’s hearts were affected negatively by hostile comments from men, while men’s hearts were also adversely affected by domineering, controlling words from women. If you think eating a low fat diet is important in maintaining heart and cardiovascular health and heart health, then you now have another Ah ha to consider for overall health.
Disagreements are a natural part of being in relationships. This includes our relationships with siblings, mates, parents, neighbors and friends. Conflict is inevitable but how you resolve conflict presents many creative choices. The question is this: Are you aware or mindful enough to see the choices in the present moment?
It is far better to honor each other through discussion vs. attacking the other person. This is essential for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. It takes 100 kind acts to heal 1 negative act. Peaceful communication about conflict trumps attacking your partner, friend or family member. Words can so easily wound another human being.
If you gradually train the mind and emotions to express themselves more expansively, calmly and with greater awareness under your wise guidance, then unimaginably great blessings will emerge in your relationships. But, this process of good communication first starts within your own self. You must begin to have a mindful relationship to your own mind, emotions and body, and then great things begin to emerge as a result.
The physical, emotional and mental bodies are very much like children that need the gradual daily discipline or guidance from a parent. You as a soul are function through the personality. You are much like a parent in relation to your personality bodies. They need to be trained to respond with positive expressions rather than react in anger, greed, jealousy, lust, hatred and fear. Meditation trains the mind and emotions to slow down just enough to be redirected towards happier expressions rather than negative reactions.
The Joy of Meditation is a course about helping you blossom as a human being. It is a course about being mindful. Mindfulness Meditation Practice gives rise to choices, creativity, a sense of spaciousness, and most importantly the ability to choose. You cannot choose to respond vs. react to your mate until there it awareness followed by choosing to move to honoring the other person. You will need to wake up from the habits of attacking to choose habits of love, kindness, respect and joy.
Healing yourself from old, wore out, negative habits takes time, awareness, and a plan for living the joyful life. I created the special Joy of Meditation Course for everyone interested in becoming happier within themselves and then reflecting that well being out to others.
It doesn’t matter what your spiritual or religious affiliation is. You can adapt the course to any view point, any “ology” or “ism” or faction. It is an ecumenical meditation course, a true one of kind healing course which builds a step by step foundation for anyone wishing to enjoy meditation, reduce stress, find inner peace and invoke Angelic guidance more fully into your life.
The Joy of Meditation is a unique a six-month, guided meditation course designed for beginning-intermediate level students from all walks of life.

Do You Understand Happiness?
Do You Understand Happiness?
As I read the current literature presented from so many get rich quick, or prosperity teachers, they present the idea that having more money, the perfect relationship, the dream job, a bigger house, newer car, fancier vacations are the pinnacle of happiness. These are false teachings. It is good to be prosperous but is this the source of happiness? Take a look at many wealth celebrities or other rich and famous people in our society. Are they truly happy?
I don’t think we understand happiness too well. If you see Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Ted Turner, Oprah Winfrey or any other wealthy person as an example of happiness, you are missing the value right in your own heart and mind. You have access to as much happiness as you can imagine in your own Self.
There truly isn’t a way or path to happiness. Happiness is the way or the path. Relative happiness or favorable conditions are helpful but not the causes of happiness. Happiness is the cause. Conditions are the effects, or by-products of happiness. When chasing the effects the cause of happiness will escape us! We need favor conditions in daily life, but without a strong connection to the source of happiness within us, the outter conditions are empty, and feel unfulfilling.
There is a series by noted spiritual teacher, Jack Kornfield, called Wise Heart which addresses this subject with elegance and clarity.
The Wise Heart (6 CDs), Jack Kornfield shares an important message that you have within you an unlimited capacity for extraordinary love, for joy, happiness, for communion with life, and for unshakable freedom-and here is how to awaken it.
On The Wise Heart, celebrated author and psychologist Jack Kornfield offers an accessible, comprehensive, and illuminating guide to the universal teachings of Buddhist psychology. He shows you how to use powerful Buddhist insights and practices to go beyond the trap of “self-improvement”-and find in your own life the path to unconditional fulfillment and happiness…

You need to be reminded of this message about real happiness often because the world around you is full of deluded messages that you are not good enough, or that without this or that product something is missing in your life. These messages are rubbish. You have the connection to the source of happiness, joy and love within you. Keep listening to those who honor that part of you which is wonderful, good, positive and joyful.
As a spiritual teacher, I encourage you to listen to this series On The Wise Heart many times over until the cloud of non-sense of the advertising, and media delusions wash away from your being, leaving just your clear mind and good heart shining brightly.
To your happiness and joy,
