Called a love letter to her fans…Oprah leaves us with highlighting these wonderful lessons. All of these are from the final Oprah Winfrey Show…and I’ve taken these notes…her direct words…to have a reference and to be reminded of what I can be…and of the teacher who gave me the lessons.  Thank you Oprah. 
 
Oprah Lessons  (Cont'd) 
 
Lesson 5
 
God Whispers…Are you listening? 
  • I know that I’ve never been alone and that you haven’t either. and I know that that presence, that flow – some people call it grace – is working in my life in every single turn and yours too if you let it in. It’s closer than your breath and it is yours for the asking…
  • I have felt the presence of God my whole life…even when I didn’t have a name for it I could feel the voice bigger than myself speaking to me and all of us have that same voice.
  • Be still…and know it. You can acknowledge it or not. You can work with it or not. You can ignore it or you can know it. Know it. It’s always there, speaking to you and waiting for you to hear it. In every move and every decision, I wait and listen for the guidance that’s greater than my meager mind…the only time I’ve ever made mistakes is when I didn’t listen.
  • So what I know is…God is love. And God is life. And your life is always speaking to you. First in whispers. And a whisper in your life feels like, “mmm, That’s odd…that doesn’t make no sense…or mmm…is that right? It’s subtle those whispers and if you don’t pay attention to the whispers, it gets louder and louder and louder. It’s like getting thumped up side the head. If you don’t pay attention to that, it’s like getting a brick up the side of the head. If you don’t pay attention to that, the whole brick wall falls down.
  • What are the whispers in your life right now? What’s whispering and will you hear it? Your life is speaking to you…what is it saying?  
 
POWER OF FORGIVENESS
 
Sonia Choquette
 
 Forgiveness is a very intelligent policy when it comes to work, and by keeping your grudges few, not only do you keep you awareness sharp, but you also keep your eyes, ears, and heart open to whatever new opportunities may present. Those who forgive keep moving forward. Those who don't remain stuck.
     Not forgiving yourself not only interrupts your business; it also sours and destroys your relationships, as well. It not only frustrates you, but it also drives the people around you crazy. So instead of lamenting yesterday's mistakes, decide you will get over it and do something better today. It is never too late.
     Finally, forgiveness works both ways. If you are guilty of mistreating people or of being unethical in business, ask others to please forgive you. Your vibes are an indelible part of who you are, and your energy follows you wherever you go. If you cheat, manipulate, steal, lie or violate and exploit others for your own personal gains, you may think you are getting away with it, but success is far more than acquiring dollars. It is the ability to look yourself in the mirror and like who is looking back.
        The practical wisdom of forgiving, forgetting and living a life of good vibes and clear energy in the moment cannot be overstated. Forgiveness puts the power for your future squarely back into your hands. And that's where it belongs. That's great for business and great for your life.
 
 
Are You Lonely?
John Holland
 
Everyone feels lonely at some point in their life, and it’s a universal emotion. We not only feel it on a personal and emotional level, but we feel it deep within our soul. We all need human contact and companionship, to be touched, to be held, to laugh, and to share our feelings, so it’s important to reach out to others. It's part of how we evolve, learn, grow, and mature as a human as well as a soul. I want to stress that there’s a major difference between being alone and being lonely. You could be alone in a remote cabin deep in the woods, hidden away from civilization and still be at peace within yourself and your solitude. To understand loneliness, you have to understand where it’s coming from and what’s causing it. There are so many different forms of loneliness that can cause pain.If you’re alone, it may be self-imposed or the result of a number of reasons. Every reason will be totally individual, and each solution will be unique. If you’re suffering from loneliness, then do something about it now. Take the responsibility and reach out to others. When you spend time being lonely and don’t invest time in doing anything about it, you risk falling into the mind-set where you end up focusing on the negative, or worse still, you start beating yourself up.Equally, you can fall into a trap of blaming others for your loneliness. Don’t relive the past over and over again in your mind, as this is precisely why you’ll attract what you’re trying to avoid. There may be some emotional healing required before you begin to feel good about yourself, or if you’ve been let down or hurt in a personal relationship, you may need to learn to trust people again. If you’re not used to being alone, you may need to learn coping skills so that you enjoy being alone. There’s so much support out there, so don’t suffer alone, as I urge you to reach out and ask for help. If you don’t identify what may be causing your loneliness, it’s easy to fill the void with less-healthy remedies, such as drugs, alcohol, bad relationships, or just working all hours. None of these solve the problem – they’re only a temporary solution.I’m a big advocate of support groups for like-minded people, where everyone shares in each other’s story. The love from a small group can be amazing, whether you’re lonely because you lost your spouse or you’ve been through a painful separation. We are all connected in this universe and as a soul, we feel each other’s pain. God put us here to share and to be with each other, as well as to help one another. Remember this goes back to serving your soul purpose of being all that you can be, and helping humanity in a positive way. I also try to push people to try something they never have before. I took a cooking class once and “yes” I was nervous I was alone, but by the end of the classes I had new friends that I still keep in touch with!
 
Disconnect and
Enjoy
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Amanda Gore
 
We are excited to discover 'Day to disconnect' - a worldwide movement that took place on October 2nd, encouraging us to disconnect from technology... and reconnect with what's important. To focus on those most precious to us, our families, parents, spouse, children, ourselves and the spiritual realms.
 
With the advancement of technology our lives should have become progressively simpler, happier and more connected. But is that what is really happening? Seems that with the myriad gadgets we invent to enable us to stay connected, the more disconnected we become...  Click here to watch the promotional video 'Disconnect and Enjoy'. 
Zipping Down the Transformation Highway
 
 
 Jennifer Hoffman
    
Does it feel like time is moving too fast for you now? Do you feel disconnected and detached from the world at times? Are you trying to assimilate the changes happening within and around you but they are happening too quickly? Have you noticed how people are becoming empowered and are suddenly rallying together against institutions and beliefs that they once didn't have any opinions about or couldn't be bothered to rise up against? It seems that everyone is speaking or acting against something right now and it can seem overwhelming but that is an example of the exponential momentum of transformation and it's all thanks to the work we have done.
 
A few years ago I had a client who complained that her husband didn't understand or believe in her spiritual work and their relationship was being affected. I advised her to continue with her spiritual practice, to be accepting of him and his beliefs and he would change when he was ready to. Then a few months later she called again to complain that not only had he embraced his own spirituality but he was now more knowledgeable and aware than she was. Her question was, why had it taken him a fraction of the time that it had taken her and why did she have to suffer through it and it came so easily to him? Someone has to be first, to open the path that others will follow and these people, the pioneers, have a harder time than others.
 
Someone always has to be first in the process of creating the transformation highway and many of us have done that. We volunteered for this mission, glad to be able to finally shine our light which we have had to dim for lifetimes, honored at the prospect of bringing humanity into the light, to higher dimensions of being and completing the ascension process. But while that journey took us decades or longer, those behind us will complete it in a much shorter time, thanks to the work we have done. So rather than complaining that others don't suffer as we did, or have to take as much time, we can congratulate ourselves on a job well done and that the exponential rate of transformation means we did what we were supposed to do and humanity has recognized it and is acknowledging us for our work through their willingness to shine their light.
 
Change Direction
 

We all have those days when life hands us one frustration after another, as though we've been possessed by some kind of negative force that brings mayhem to even the simplest tasks.  I'm sure you know what I mean.  You're running late for a meeting when your child's school calls to say your little boy is sick.  You grab your paperwork on the way out the door, trip and drop the files all over the parking lot, curse yourself and rush to the car (and of course, you can't seem to get the key in the ignition fast enough). Finally, on your way to pick up your son, you get stopped for speeding and realize that you left your wallet back at the office. By this time it feels like you can't do anything right.

Sometimes the tailspin begins with something small like an upsetting phone call or an e-mail that pushes your buttons. One moment everything seems fine, and the next thing you know, your mood has quickly taken a turn for the worse. Fortunately there are things you can do to change your mental direction. When you find yourself feeling out of sorts, try one of the following actions and see what happens:

1. Clear the air. Do something to shift your energy.  Take a shower, change your clothes, or tidy up your office.  If you're at home, vacuum the living room, open a window, or even change the sheets on your bed.  As you take these simple actions, imagine yourself clearing energy blocks that might be fueling the bad cycle.

2. Get into motion.  One of the quickest ways to change your mental state is to get up and move your body.  For example, when you're feeling overwhelmed, resist the temptation to work even harder to get organized. Instead, take a brisk walk or go for a bike ride.  When you do, you'll find that exercise enhances your ability to focus making you better able to tackle your situation later on with more clarity and ease.

3. Shift your thinking. If it's true that our thoughts create our circumstances, then you'll want to shift your negative thoughts to positive ones as quickly as you can.  Recall a favorite childhood song and start singing it out loud (Trust me, "Row, row, row your boat" or "Twinkle, twinkle little star" will make you laugh).  Or, you could pick up an inspirational book, open to any page and start reading.  For some people, taking a nap can do the trick.  Sometimes it helps to shut down your mind for a while, so you can wake up feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

4. Put on some music.  There's nothing that shifts my mood quicker than music.  I still remember the days when I felt stuck or anxious while writing "Take Time for Your Life" and I'd put on the "Mambo Kings" and dance around my office.  The wild rhythms were like a secret prayer that always restored my creative power.

Finally, while there are many things you can do to shift a temporary bad mood, sometimes we need to honor the fact that a low mood may be an indication of something deeper.  For example, if you've experienced a recent loss, you may need to have a good, long cry.  Or, if you feel frustrated or angry about a negative pattern in an important relationship, you might need to rant and rave before engaging in a discussion with your loved one.  Just like a wound that needs time to heal, sometimes our moods are an indication that our heart needs space, rest, or the loving support of someone who cares.
 
This video below is pretty special.  It's a TEDx talk about beauty, nature, and the power of gratefulness.  It'll be one I'll watch again and again.  Thank you so much, Patricia!  You can find

    BOWEN TECHNIQUE - KATHY LAW
    Bowtech, the original Bowen Technique, is gentle form of body work in which very
     subtle moves performed over the muscles and connective tissue send messages
     deep into the body, retrieving memory of a preferred, relaxed, balanced way of
    wellbeing.  Results can be remarkable, even from the first session; often only a
    few sessions are needed to correct the presenting problem.  There are frequent
    but very essential pauses throughout the session that allow the body time to
    respond and begin the healing process.
    The Bowen Technique does not use forceful manipulation.  The technique addresses
     not on the musculo-skeletal framework, but also the facia, nerves and internal
    organs.  The body's integrated response improves circulation and lymphatic
    drainage and aids in the assimilation of nutrients and elimination of toxins.
    The original Bowen Technique is extremely gentle and is considered appropriate
     for anyone from pregnant women to newborn babies, the frail and elderly. 
    It can assist recovery from many conditions, from traumatic injury to chronic
     illness, depending upon each individual's capacity to heal.  No adverse side
    effects have been reported.
    The technique should be considered for:  back pain, sciatica, digestive and bowel
    problems including IBS, ear ache, ear infections, migraines, fibromyalgia, chronic
    fatigue syndrome, knee, ankle, foot problems, menstrual and hormonal irregularities,
    sports and accident injuries, neck/shoulder problems (incl. frozen shoulder),
    groin pain, pelvic tilt, uneven leg length, respiratory problems and hay fever,
    RSI, carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow, etc. etc.
