Did You Know You Were Once A Zygote?

Before you were born, your mother's fertilized egg split into three parts: one formed the placenta for you to be nourished, one grew into your brain and neural system and one became your body. You brain has over 100 billion neurons in it that all are carefully encoded to help you use your muscles, sort our your body's systems and, of course, to help you with usiong all your five senses.
So how great is that! Plus it all works because your Spirit self is the conductor making sure that everything stays in tune. So you dance to your own music! Tiny electrical impulses stimulate you into action. So, do not use drugs, alcohol etc. Be natural and enjoy life. Make sure your chemical composite is correct with all the right minerals and vitamins, hormones etc. etc. which keep you in balance.

We Knew YOu Know Before You Were Born!

From the day your child leaves the womb, he/she is awakened to learn instantly. As we wriggle, blink and feed, wee  and poo we sense our experiences as normal. In time we learn more and then get into judgment. Time to erase those early ideas and make some new ones of your own..
The things you were told as a child are out of date! Time to lake a long look at the way you think, what you believe and why you hang on to old ideas that only make you crazy. Yes, it is a time of change and yes, we are in the shift, but it would not happen if we do not adapt and change.
Excuses, mistakes and much more are no longer relative! Be a child and just try. Each time you do your brain will learn something new and you will feel excited and possibly over-whelmed but with practice and patience you will succeed just like you did before, only this time you will have the adult part of your brain working for you to make new ideas and new feelings that will make you entirely confident and a better parent, even if you are 90 years old and your child is 70!
The kids today are modern and technically minded. If you are making excuses to not learn these ways and use the equipment, you will be left behind as they reach out to those who do. So, do yourself a favor and get with it!
Blessings

Love A Child Today

You may be busy and impatient with a child, but in that moment they may not understand your issues and feel abandoned. Put down whatever you are doing and give them a minute of your time.
A child need to have eye contact which should be soft and tender as you explain that something is not right! Don't yell and scream at them unless you want to become the monster. Instead show them by actions what you want done. Take their things and help them put them away and then hug and love them. Do not promise a reward, especially if you forget to follow through. They will hate you for breaking your promise.
In times when a child is bored, give them a responsibility, such as put the pots in the cupboard, or write a letter of thank you. Their scribbles will be unintelligent, but it has meaning for them. Involve your child in your activities, and above all else be patient as they follow along. This will give your child confidence to try and do anything.
Hugs are always important. I child needs tactile activities as well as human contact. So enjoy yourself being a child on and off throughout the day.
Blessings

Changing your mind - it is ok!

When I was teaching in Japan, one of my students asked me if she should change her focus on her courses. She felt guilty that she had enrolled in another course and then wanted to change her mind and do someone else's courses instead. She felt she had made a decision that would affect the prior teacher.

So often, people make promises or commitments to do something with someone and then find that they are really not able, interested or want to do the things they originally promised to do. Why does that happen?

The truth is that we receive new input to our brain every second of the day, and by the time night falls, we are busy processing this new input with all past events. Once we have done that, we come to a conclusion that something is either right or wrong for us. Next, the emotions kick in. Thoughts such as I feel guilty or afraid to change happen. Then we start to believe that we will be badly thought of by those who know us.

Well, the truth is, they may have a bad thought about you when you change your mind, but if you explain to them in a simple way that you have gained a new awareness and experiences that have brought you to a new conclusion and color it with a compliment to the person you feel you are letting down, you will find out that they are actually glad you are not free to be with them. After all, who wants someone who is miserable for company!
