Something to remember:

I’ve been a follower of Joni for a LONG time. I think one of the first records I purchased was “Blue” in Seattle at a used record store on University Ave. That was 1974 or 1975...and I remember it cost $2.99.

Studies show that getting in touch with positive, expansive emotions like kindness and compassion—emotions that are our birthright, by the way—tends to release a different neuropeptide (called oxytocin), which naturally shuts off the receptors in the amygdala, the part of the brain that generates fear and anxiety. With fear out of the way, we can feel infinitely more trust, forgiveness, and love. We move from being selfish to selfless. And as we embody this new state of being, our neurocircuitry opens the door to endless possibilities that we could never have even imagined before, because now we’re not expending all our energy trying to figure out how to survive.

Scientists are finding areas in the body—like the intestines, the immune system, the liver, and the heart, as well as many other organs—that contain receptor sites for oxytocin. These organs are highly responsive to oxytocin’s major healing effect, which has been linked to growing more blood vessels in the heart, stimulating immune function, increasing gastric motility, and normalizing blood-sugar levels.

Your thoughts and feelings come from your past memories. If you think and feel a certain way, you begin to create an attitude. An attitude is a cycle of short-term thoughts and feelings experienced over and over again. Attitudes are shortened states of being. If you string a series of attitudes together, you create a belief. Beliefs are more elongated states of being and tend to become subconscious. When you add beliefs together, you create a perception. Your perceptions have everything to do with the choices you make, the behaviors you exhibit, the relationships you chose, and the realities you create.⁣
⁣
When your perception becomes so second nature and so automatic that you really don’t pay attention to the way reality truly is (because you automatically expect everything to be the same), you’re now unconsciously accepting and agreeing to that reality—the way most people unconsciously accept and agree to what the medical model tells them about a diagnosis.⁣
⁣
So the only way to change your beliefs and perceptions in order to create a placebo response is to change your state of being. You have to finally see your old, limited beliefs for what they are—records of the past—and be willing to let go of them so that you can embrace new beliefs about yourself that will help you create a new future.✨

Things You Don't Know

This brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes!

Absolutely amazing! ❤️

I say YES to this!

Can you give thanks for a new life before it’s made manifest?

Because the longer you feel gratitude, the more you’re drawing your new future to you because gratitude means it has already happened. Gratitude is the ultimate state of receivership🙏🏻⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Whatever intention you experience and emotionally embrace in the realm beyond space and time must manifest in this space and time. It’s the law.⁣
⁣
The latest research in neuroscience shows that when you close your eyes and begin to think about your future and embrace the emotions you are going to feel when that event happens. That you are actually installing the neurological circuitry of that experience in your brain.🧠

Joe Dispenza is amazing, and easy to understand and then apply to life. Find him on YouTube or pick up one his books. You won’t be disappointed! - Carol

When you embrace elevated emotions in meditation or life, what you are actually doing is signaling your genes ahead of the environment.

The body doesn’t know the difference between an emotion created by an experience you’re having in the outside environment and experience you are creating internally by embracing this new, elevated emotion... So when you embrace elevated emotions and think thoughts that are greater than the self-limiting ones that keep you stuck in the past, your body begins to prepare chemically for the future (because it believes the future is happening now). These elevated emotions have a higher (and faster) frequency than base emotions, like guilt, fear, jealousy, and anger. And since all frequency carries information, when we change the frequency, we change our energy. That new energy can then carry new information-a new consciousness or set of intentions or thoughts.

The more elevated the emotion, the faster the frequency and the more you feel like energy instead of matter-and the more energy becomes available to create a more coherent energy field, shifting further away from disease and more towards health (or for that matter, toward signaling the gene). 🧬

This has nothing to do with hypnotherapy, but if we as a species don’t survive I suppose we won’t NEED any counseling or hypnotherapy! There are things gs we can do to help the bees...read on.

The Bee Is Declared The Most Important Living Being On The Planet The Earthwatch Institute concluded in the last debate of the Royal Geographical Society of London, that bees are the most important living being on the planet, however, scientists have also made an announcement: Bees have already entered into extinction risk.

I saw this and felt like sharing with you. Carol

Spring coming on feels like a miracle!

I’m reading Option B by Sheryl Sandberg and in it she quotes Kierkegaard as saying...”life can only be understood backward but it must be lived forward.” I’m pondering this. Thoughts?

How many of you listened to “Blue” every day of your young life and can recite every word?

I feel like Patty Smith has really ultimately found her path! She makes so much sense and has her past fame to launch into this public forum to help create change. She is also a very kind-hearted person and poet. I love her❤️

Good advice!

Water the Flowers, Not the Weeds If you’re out watering your flower garden by hand, you naturally concentrate the flow of water to benefit your beautiful flowers. If there’s an area of weeds, you don’t waste water there. As best you can, you avoid watering the weeds. It’s the same with your consciousness. You can learn to selective...

I'm not certain why this spoke to me today...but it did and so I am sharing it with you. Enjoy! Carol
