We need Refuelling

I realize how important it is for us to energetically refuel. Actually, I wasn’t thinking about all of you, I was thinking about me.

And sure, I’ve known this ‘forever’ – I teach it all the time. “Oxygen mask on first”. And I do a pretty good job of staying ‘filled up’.

But Friday I felt it – I literally felt the fuel pouring into my body as I was in Marianne Williamson’s presence. And it made me cry to recognize what I had been withholding from myself. I expect that I’m not alone here – most of you are giving of yourselves extensively, day after day. And maybe even doing a ‘pretty good job’ of staying filled up. But what is it that you have been withholding from yourself, that would make you cry when you received it?

Will you please GIVE it to yourself?

Show me the Love!

Last week I travelled to Montreal to listen to Marianne at her most recent event. I learned a lot. Some of it was from her words. Most of it was from her passion and her conviction in expressing her message.

Marianne’s words helped me understand more deeply why I am so passionate about teaching gold standard EFT. She spoke about how many years ago human consciousness took a detour into fear; we’ve been working to return to love ever since.

She noted that there is a huge change evolving now, it’s much different than when she started to teach a quarter of a century ago. Back then, she said, it was all talk. Talking about love, talking about peace. All the thought leaders talked about the concepts and ideas. And it was necessary to talk at the time. We needed to get on the same page. Today we’re beyond the talk.

Everyone has read the same books, the speakers are all saying the same things. Now it is time for application. It is time to actually BE love, to BE peace.

And this is what EFT does.

It allows us to shift the energy of fear (stress, resistance, guilt, shame … whatever you want to call it) into the energy of peace and love. Quite easily, quite gently and so profoundly. So we are, as Gary Craig said, on the ground floor of a healing high-rise. The talk foundation has been built very solidly and now it’s time to rise up.

 

 

Settling vs. Inspiring

And speaking of rising up. Wow – she inspired us with her presence and her words. She chastised us for ‘settling’. She spoke that it is time to move from personal transformation to global transformation and that it is the women of the western world who need to step up and act with the courage of their convictions. In the same way as we fight like tigers for our own babies, how can it be okay with us that 17,000 children starve every day?

And then a powerful moment … Marianne said that the vast majority of people are good, loving people. Only a few are ‘haters’. How can it be then that they are holding the world hostage? The answer?

“The trouble with the world is that those who hate – hate with conviction but people who love do not love with conviction.”

Stepping Up

We need to step it up. We need to see every child on this planet as our child and the entire earth as the home we need to tend to.

We need to develop our attitudinal muscles by consistently aligning our thinking with love. In the same way as we take a shower every day to remove the dirt of yesterday’s activities, we need to start the day with a spiritual bath to remove the residue of yesterday’s non-loving thinking errors.

Marianne suggested that this daily cleansing ritual becomes even more important after age 25 when our thinking has become a little less resilient. And I suggest that this is where EFT comes in – I encourage you to make EFT the ‘soap’ of your daily spiritual bath!
