Valentine's Message

Law of Attraction goes mainstream in The Secret

Mercury in Retrograde..the Gift

 
Happy Valentine's Day my friends.  Hallmark wants it to be a day of external focus on more things..flowers, chocolates, diamonds, or fancy meals. This can set us up for sadness and disappointment if we don't have a partner or our partners don't comply to our expectations.  I see today as an honoring of the love between partners, appreciation of family and most important the honoring and love of self.  What can you do today to honor the most important partner you will ever have...YOU.  Think about it, you are the only one that will be with you throughout your lifetime.  Parents may go, partners may go, family members may pass but you in your physical body are here with you from when you came into this body until you leave it.  That is a long term relationship!  Are you a pleasant friend to yourself, fun to be around or are you ornery, critical or judgmental?  Maybe you can make a vow to change that.  Turn it around and focus on gratitude.  Be an uplifter to yourself.  Be kind and gentle and be the kind of friend and partner to YOU that you desire in an external friend or partner. 
 
If you are seeking a physical partner, this may be all you need to do to shift yourself from neediness to feeling and acting deserving.  If you are in a relationship this can only strengthen your current partnership.  Remember only YOU can fulfill you and complete you.  We must be whole in ourselves and then we can shine the light on each others gifts and be uplifters.  Unfortunately, sometimes we feel unloved and fearful so we shine spotlights on the faults of the people in our lives to make us feel better about our own imperfections.  This is a spiral that brings guilt and shame and then back to feeling unloveable and fearful we go.  It's hard to get off of that merry-go-round.  I have been told by the angels over and over that the goal of marriage and partnerships is to bring out the best in each other. 
 
So I invite you to do it different today.  Put the focus on what you love about YOU and your life today.  Make a list of your gifts and what you are grateful for.  It can be as basic as "I am kind and understanding.   I am grateful for my warm home and hot shower on this blustery cold day in New England."  You can do it.  The rewards of focusing on appreciation and love for just seconds each day will bring you so much over the months ahead.  Try it and share with me the blessings that come.
 
I will see your beauty and light as the angels do, until you see it for yourself.  I will see you as the powerful creator that you are, peace-filled and abundant in all ways.  I will see you and your loved ones healthy and whole in all ways.  Join me in seeing it for us all.
 
Stay warm and know that you are SO LOVED today and always,
Jackie Eaton 

Law of Attraction Goes Mainstream In "The Secret"

 
Don't you just love that Oprah hosted the cast of  "The Secret" on her show.  If you haven't seen it, go to www.thesecret.tv/home.html.  You can watch the movie for $4.95 right on your computer.  The Secret is the Law of Attraction.  I am so excited that the world is getting to see its power in such a mainstream, easy to accept and understand way.  We are shifting from victim consciousness to fully embracing ourselves as the Deliberate Creators we are.  What a wonderful way to live in joy and peace.
 
If you haven't been introduced to the amazing beings, Abraham, that Esther and Jerry Hicks' channel, go to www.abraham-hicks.com. They have been so instrumental in teaching about the Law of Attraction.  I had the opportunity to meet them in Boston in October and it was such a gift.  They travel all over the country and will be in Boston in May. I receive their CDs monthly and so look forward to their wisdom. 
 
When we shift to realizing the power of the Law of Attraction and that what we focus on we create, whether it's what we want or not, sometimes we struggle when our thoughts are fear- filled or negative.  We try to focus on what we desire and feel gratitude for where we are, but get frustrated when we keep going back to the fears or worries.  Abraham, or who my friend lovingly calls Esther-ham, gives us the analogy of paddling upstream in a canoe.  They tell us to let go of the paddles of struggle and allow your boat to turn back downstream and just float.  In other words give up the resistance (fears, worries, undeservingness) and allow all that we desire to come.  Life is supposed to be joyful, fun and easy.  This has helped but I want to share something that I heard on the latest CD sent to me from them that has made this shift even easier. 
 
Abraham gives the analogy of the car GPS system that guide us to our destination.  If we take a wrong turn it will say something like, "Return to the highlighted route," so we know we've gone off course.  We have that guidance system built in us and its called our Emotional guidance system.  If I'm feeling powerless, angry, frustrated or fearful I have gone off course.  When worries, fears or judgment come to my mind I hear that message..."Return to the highlighted route.  You have gone off course."  I picture myself making a turn off the golden path or yellow brick road that the Universe and I have paved out for me and see myself in the woods.  This visual makes me smile and I find a way back to that golden path of love, peace and well being.  I say "Things always work out for me." or if I have created something I don't like, "This is temporary."  Or I think of all the things that are going right in my life.  It is so easy and gentle and light.  It works so well and in minutes I'm back on the path to my desires.  Try it!

Mercury in Retrograde..the Gift

 
As many of you know, Mercury went Retrograde yesterday, February 13th until March 7th.  Don't start twitching, we're all fine.  First of all I'll explain what that means physically in the sky.  It appears that Mercury is moving backwards.  It doesn't really move backwards.  It is just that we are moving faster and it is moving slower so it gives us the illusion of a backward motion.  Many of you have heard all the negatives related to this time period.... computer glitches, phone problems and advice to not sign contracts during this time.  Why all the hype?  What is it all about? 
 
I have never written about Mercury in Retrograde as my tactic to overcome the negatives were to ignore the period all together.  I believe we aren't victims to anything but our negative thoughts and beliefs.  As someone whose goal is to empower and uplift, I have been guided to share the gifts of this time period as I see them clearly now.  We live in a fast paced world where we race in our cars, our homes and in our minds.  We have gotten so great at multi-tasking. This is a time to slow down, clear your mind and think about what we are doing and wait before making decisions.  It is a gift.  
 
As we have learned through the Secret and Law of Attraction what we pay attention to grows.  So shift your mind at this time to the benefits of slowing down and thinking before we act.  Try to do just one thing at a time or better yet spend time doing NOTHING or no thing.   It is a "Re" time...... re-think, re-learn, re-evaluate, re-discover, re-new and sometimes it causes us to re-wind if we haven't taken a breath and thought through something.  It's not a great time to make decisions.  It's a time to pause.  It's a time to gather great ideas and write them down and wait until after March 7th to act on them.
 
Why do we hate this time so much?  Don't we all need to slow down?  It only lasts for about 22 days and happens every 4 months.  So to feel the grace of this time, move slowly and mindfully.  Don't get worked up about it and fearful as you will just create your fears.  Again, use my favorite statement, "Everything always works out great for me." or "This is temporary."   Join me in thanking the Universe and Mercury for the gifts of this time that allow us to be Human BE-ings instead of Human Do-ers
