I could have used one the other day for the little guy I take care of (he's mercury toxic too!)...

But isn't that imposing our beliefs over their free will?

[AnoriensMom]

you ladies are on fire...
I haven't checked for two days and you're up to 12 pages.
It's only feb 6th.

Just wanted to share my new affirmation

"wow, that was so easy"

I am now in the worry-free zone!

Maybe we should post under Questions & Suggestions.

Quick question- is the Oprah show on the 7th or the 8th?

Anyway, I've manifested a (pretty bad) sinus infection :, so I'll be away for a bit.

[MsChatsAlot]

I caught the end of Oprah today and she said the Secret show was coming up "Thursday".

I'll double check tomorrow, just in case...but I'm pretty sure it's Thursday.

[A&A]

For all you "Secret" people

Oprah is going to be talking about the "Secret" on Thursday.

It's Thurs the 8th ... I've got my Tivo all set up

[ananas]

Awesome! Thanks guys!

I have a few things I want to write about when I'm well. Right now, I'm working on manifesting a clear head, and a better-feeling throat.

Welcome to the club! You're NORMAL

Most of us have an area with a lot of resistance. The area varies from person to person, but I think that most everyone who has started down this path has thought, "but there is no way that I can feel positive about X."

I have spent so much time attempting to work on his diet, taking him to therapists, taking him to a neuropshychologist, reading book after book on the "explosive" child and the "difficult child" and the "sensitive child". And we are no nearer to having a harmonious relationship, and I know, now, why. But what I can't seem to figure out is how to focus on the positive. Because, honestly, it's like I can't find anything positive to focus on. About my own child, a child I love. But a child I can't seem to like.

I think that it took a lot of strength to admit there here on mothering.com and it shows your deep commitment to healing your relationship with your son.

We had another huge explosive episode this morning. And I started losing it -- I was so angry, I locked myself in the bathroom. After I emerged, and took him to school, and came home, I sat down to write out a list of all the things I am grateful for, the things I enjoy, about him. I ended up just staring at the blank page and crying, because I couldn't come up with one single thing without a qualifier. Like, "He's helpful ... when he feels like it" and "He's caring ... to everyone but me".

Keep working on the list, just little bits at a time. May be making the list more specific rather than general would help. For example, no child is helpful ALL the time, so make a list of times he has been helpful lately, when he has shown caring. As you start to look for those specifics, you will notice them more and more, and gradually start to attract them more and more.

An exercise from Ask and It is Given that I really like is called "wouldn't it be nice." This is a simple exercise where you finish the sentence "wouldn't it be nice" lots of different ways that relate to your area of resistance. You might start with:

wouldn't it be nice if I could see my son's strengths.
wouldn't it be nice if we could have an easy morning
wouldn't it be nice if I could take joy in just watching him play
wouldn't it be nice if I could let go of the guilt and just move forward

Also, as you do other exercises -- totally not related to your son -- your overall vibration will raise and it will help the situation with your son. As you practice happy thoughts and feelings in some areas of your life, it becomes easier to feel them in ALL areas because they start to feel like your normal state of being.

Any EFT practicing mamas out there? Has anyone used EFT to help and your child heal from emotional wounds? When my first was born, I went back to teaching when he was only 8 weeks. It is one of the only decisions that I truly and deeply regret. During a phone consult today with the creator of our hs'ing curriculum, she was letting me know that she believes his rage/anger issues all stem from a need to know that I'm still here for him. It all goes back to that first year. I was a wreck, beyond a wreck. And he became very clingy while I was gone and when I was home. Anyways, I know she speaks truth and I want to heal us. I know I can use EFT on myself and started today as I was very emotional following our conversation, and I've read on the EFT website a bit about it being used on small children. But I'm not sure how to do it. He is 5 1/2 and would love for the "tapping" to be done, but I'm not sure how it would all work or if I can help by proxy ... so, if any of you wise mamas are experienced with EFT could help. You can pm me or post here. Thanks!

[ananas]

I thought I'd share this here, I posted it on my personal-yet-public diary as well.

I've been knowing that a great idea was coming...I just didn't know what it was.

I've got the idea I've been waiting for. I'm going to start a blog and a shop. The idea was inspired by the thelactivist.blogspot.com, and actually was inspired by all of the drama surrounding her blog, what with the Pork company trying to sue her and all. Lol.

It will be an informational yet educational blog. My eventual goal is to start a magazine, and though it's a long way off (just because I'm not ready to embark on that quite yet), I know I can get there.

I'm being vague here, but- it's a good idea, and I don't want it to get snagged.

The blog should have posts within the next few days.

Oh, or post the answer publicly please? EFT might be a great idea for my DS, too.

nak...

great e-mail from scott noelle today!

:: "I Want It NOW!" ::

The *inner* process of creating requires two things:
asking and receiving.

(See http://dailygroove.net/receiving-mode )

People often fail to get in a receiving mode because
of it's paradoxical nature. To receive what you want,
you must be free *not* to have it. The longer you're
willing to wait, the sooner it will come.

Full e-mail is here: http://dailygroove.net/i-want-it-now

[Annikate]

That is great! I'm going to print it and hang it up. Just what I needed this morning!

ETA: I think I manifested your post!

I just signed up to get the daily emails. Thanks so much for posting that. This is one thing I'm working on manifesting! Joy in parenting!

I had a bit of a breakthrough last night. I think Oprah calls it an 'Ah Ha moment'. I don't know how or why it came about when it did and I've been working towards this for a while but I suddenly felt really good about the way things are. I suddenly was overwhelmed with love for my family and happiness at our place in time right now. I suddenly felt like everything was good right now. Instead of thinking about what I want in the future or what I regret in the past and focusing on what I don't have I was suddenly able to realize how to be completely grateful for what I do have and I really felt it. Before I was going through the motions of gratitude but since last night I've actually been able to feel the feelings of love and gratitude. I have no idea why or how it happened but I'm holding onto it because it feels right and good.

I think all of the visualizing I was doing was actually keeping me holding onto thoughts of what I don't have. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced that. Like when I spent time visualizing the things I want and feeling them it was nice but also bittersweet since it made me think about not having them now. Maybe I'm not ready for that step and I need to just stick with this feeling of gratitude and love for what I have in my life now.

What a beautiful post Tara ...yes, focus on those feelings of happiness and gratitude, you can never go wrong if you are feeling those things.

Great Tara!

I am also feeling really really good today. The major thing I'm working on is finding joy everyday with my girls. Today I soooo feel it.

It makes me feel a bit manic (seriously) because I know how crappy I felt last week about everything. Last week for me was all about lack. Lack of joy, lack of sleep, lack of romance, lack of well . . . everything.

I made a decision to focus on abundance and it's working. However, I do know that PMS and AF make my thinking totally turn around as hard as I try not to let it affect me.

Guess I'll try to manifest an easy one next month.

dharmama's post above w/the link to EnjoyParenting is awesome btw!

[~Nikki~]

Quicky question:

I finally got a moment to print out the 30 day challenge, and am about to start today's exercise.

But what the heck is segment intending?
