Lifebuilder New Edition 3 - 29/09/2006

                Create a Life of Balanced Success

 
                                                                    QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"There is an Indian belief that everyone is in a house of four rooms: a physical, a mental, an emotional and a spiritual. Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time, but unless we go into every room every day, even if only to keep it aired, we are not complete."
- Rumer Godden 


Hi 

Welcome to the third edition of the new Lifebuilder! Following on from our last edition,
we talk about how to tune into your body to determine what is right for you using the principles of applied kinesiology, and related to this, exactly what success is and how to measure it. We are also offering you the opportunity to come to a freë 'Power Hour' talk on Tuesday the 3rd of October in Sandton on how to overcome the fear of rejection specifically, and, if you are in any kind of job or business that requires selling (and like it or not, everyone working in any business is in sales), you will also be interested in an exciting Sales Superstar Seminar coming up in October. Enjoy!

Body


"The body has its own way of knowing, a knowing that has little to do with logic, and much to do with truth, little to do with control, and much to do with acceptance, little to do with division and analysis, and much to do with union." 
                                                                                                                                                 - Marilyn Sewell

"When you are saying that you are happy and you are not, there will be a disturbance in your breathing. Your breathing cannot be natural. It is impossible." - Osho

Last week, we talked about Applied Kinesiology and some techniques to apply it to help you live a better life and make better decisions. Just becoming aware of your whole body and its responses to your thoughts can reveal whether you are on the right path or not because our bodies usually know us better than our minds do. If you have a decision to make, consult your body before making it final in the following way:

Exercise

Reflect on a decision you are about to make and then pay attention to your body. Are you breathing deeply or barely at all? Are your muscles tense or relaxed? Is your energy blocked or flowing? Shallow breathing, tension and blocked energy in response to a particular choice mean it is probably not right for you.

Your body knows what it likes and is relaxed and at ease when you are happy. Conversely, it becomes tense and dis-eased when you are not happy and at peace with yourself and what you are doing in your life. It's like a pressure gauge measuring the pressure in your life: too much pressure and the bubble will burst; too little, and your life is a deflated balloon of unfulfilled purpose. Find the right balance of activity and relaxation for you, and you will soar into the heavens!


Mind and Heart

"Our inner guidance comes to us through our feelings and body wisdom first, not through intellectual understanding. The intellect works best in service to our intuition, our inner guidance, soul, God or higher power - whichever term we choose for the spiritual energy that animates life." - Christiane Northrup

If you tend to be overly analytical and use only your mind to run your life and make decisions, which is how most of us have been brought up to believe is the right way to make decisions, make it an ongoing practice to be aware of the emotions and feelings you are experiencing in your body, which are the bridge to the Higher Intelligence that is always there for you to tap into if you know how.


Soul

For the entire history of mankind, societies have created many different measures of success in life, but these have always changed to be replaced by other measures. For instance, voluptuous women were deemed to be more attractive and therefore successful during the Renaissance, but in today's world, it is the wafer-thin models on the covers of all the glossy magazines that are viewed as the ultimate paragons of female beauty and success. Which is the true measure of success? The answer is neither, because any criteria for judgement that changes over time cannot be true.

The work of Dr. David Hawkins in developing a scale of human consciousness that accurately measures the level of a person's consciousness is absolutely revolutionary in that it is the first time in history that we have a way to measure success in life truly. After all, what else does one have in this world - where everything changes and what we value so much all gets left behind at death anyway - but the inner peace one experiences moment by moment, and the love one spreads in the world as a natural result of this? One only has to look at the lives of many of the super-models mentioned above to see that what the world sees as success and true success are clearly very different - someone who has to use alcohol and drugs to escape from their self-created hell and who behaves completely selfishly most of the time is clearly not very successful in this game we call life. As Jesus said, those who are judged as first by the world, are in fact last, and many of those who are judged as being last, are actually first. Think about that the next time you envy a super-model or sports star, and remind yourself that your level of inner peace is the only true measure of your success.
