“The Ability To Blossom”

“And the day came when the risk it took
to remain tight in the bud was more painful
than the risk it took to blossom”
– Anais Nin

In Today’s Issue

The Ability To Blossom

Over the years, many of our subscribers have asked how to find more clarity
and focus in their lives.

When I’ve asked them what they mean by clarity, they answer:

“A clear sense of what I’m here to do, I’m not really excited about anything
anymore and I want that feeling of passion or excitement back again
(or to find it for the first time)”.

I answer them by asking what’s bothering them first.
(Because the very thing we can learn from most is the
lesson that continues to come back to us.)

What surprises us is that our passions get bogged down by the resistance to letting
our problems go. In other words, we can get stuck in a pattern of trying to the
“same old thing the same old way”.

Our real lesson is to allow normal life situations to teach us and give us what we
need. If we “fight the flow”, we’re really fighting ourselves.

But, when we honor the lesson, the energy inside of us opens up, (blossoms) and
then we’re free again to create what we really want in life.

Some of you may say:

“But, Paul, this sounds a little too “New Agey” for me”.

It depends on what you REALLY want in your life. If you want life to be simple
and to be in flow (great results with less effort), this may be a good time to just
let go of the “old way” and move forward…

Let’s look at today’s theme once again,

“And the day came when the risk it took to
remain tight in the bud was more painful
than the risk it took to blossom”

What sense do you make of this wisdom?

Are you prepared for the next steps in your life?

Are you ready to be more *passionate* about what you really value in your life?

Are you ready to truly blossom and grow? Or will you settle for the same old way
of living?

You have genius within YOU my friend… it’s there….

I can see it – Can You? : – )

Let’s go on a little “mini” – vacation for a moment or two…

Ask yourself:

“How can I awaken my Dream or Vision today?”

“What step can I take that will energize my Dream and support
humanity in some way?” (even if you don’t yet know)

“What could it be?”

Close your eyes for just a moment…

Take a deep breath…

b   –   r   –   e   –   a   –   t   –   h   –   e

Take a moment and write down YOUR Dream or Vision:
(or something you’d LOVE to do in your life)

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________

Ask yourself:

“How can I energize this Dream in my life today?”
(What simple step could I take now to FREE this energy within me?)

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________

When you choose to just . . .

b   –   r   –   e   –   a   –   t   –   h   –   e

Your energy field opens up and you begin to blossom again – and you begin
to re-discover the REAL you . . .

and your Life’s Dreams begin to awaken . . .

And so it is…

: – )

Allow your Dreams to take flight my friend

Many Blessings and Keep Your Dreams Alive,

The Secret of the Wave


This article is a second in a series that talks about the power of waves
and how they affect literally every part of our lives.

In our last article, we talked about something unique and that most
of us miss about the wave-like energies within us and around us.
Hidden within each wave of energy is a deeper and richer expression
of a life wave.

From our last article:

“Within these waves is the very momentum and flow that we
long for.  Because within each wave is the essence of life itself.”

So there’s more to how we feel that meets the eye…

Let’s take a closer look at a wave of energy…

Within each wave is a range of energies – almost like
waves within waves that we can’t see, and yet we can feel.

We can experience these waves as life-enhancing
(love, joy, happiness, clarity, etc)

…or life-depleting
(anger, depression, unrest, apathy, fear or just
lack of energy)

When we feel these waves, it’s not the waves themselves
that are the issue – but whether even we sense them
or how we choose to respond to them.

If we feel other than life enhancing energies, our body is trying to tell us
to step back, feel and let go of whatever is causing the disruption of the
life force energy within us. (The Chinese call this “stuck Chi”)

Our life rhythms form the foundation of our health and our happiness.

When these rhythms are out of sync, we feel symptoms like anger,
frustration, low energy, depression and dozens of other symptoms.

The key is to hear these symptoms and listen with “new ears” and honor
them – not fight against them with more work, food, drugs, TV, or other
mind- numbing distractions.

The Warning Signs

Our western cultures have significantly higher rates of chronic disease than
indigenous cultures.

What do they know that we don’t?

Is it possible that they’re in touch with a different kind of wave
than we are?

Why should diseases that virtually absent in our ancestors be so prevalent today?

Maybe we’ve allowed ourselves to be torn from the very rhythms of life that
sustain us and give us life.

We wake up to alarm clocks, eat on the run, live and work under fluorescent
lighting, watch TV til late at nite, sit at computers for hours on end, and use
cell phones and text more than we speak face to face.

It’s like we forgot how to live with life.

Our natural rhythms (waves) have become disrupted and chronic unrest and
disease results.

The crazy thing is that we know when we’re out of rhythm – but we seldom
know exactly what to do to get  back into that rhythm.

Each day as we awake, we’re responding to waves of energy that affect us.

Some examples of wave like cycles in our everyday lives:

Our biorythms (circadian rhythms)
Sunrise/Sundown
Lake and ocean waves
Economic waves
Mood swings
Relationship waves
Energy waves
Bad news via the media

and dozens more…

There’s one more wave that we haven’t spoken about and yet it’s the
“Master Wave” of our mind and body.

This Master Wave is the key to the very things we want most – and yet
because it’s “hidden” from our normal awareness, we often miss the
profoundly deep wisdom that it brings us in every moment.

When you discover this Master Wave within you and learn how to
harness its wisdom and power…

Your life will transform
You will find resolution to your greatest problems
It will bring you deep inner peace

This week, we’ll be holding a free Webinar/Tele-Seminar on the secret
of this Master Wave and how it can help you restore your life force,
your inner peace and literally all the “waves” within your daily life.

Watch your e-mail for more details…

Until then,

Peace to you my friend,

The Coming Wave Of Change


Everything in our universe moves in waves.  Even things we can’t
see or sense.

Within these waves is the very momentum and flow that we long for.
Because within each wave is the essence of life itself.

One example:
Many people think that we’re in a downturn of the
wave in our economies.  That’s the “normal” view
and it misses the subtle cues hidden within each wave.

But the savvy ones see the secret of the wave and know
exactly what to do about it.

The wave is made up of many factors:

How you feel
Collective consciousness
Cosmic & Planetary shifts
Weather patterns

and many more visible and invisible forces that shape the wave.

The key is to understand how to sense the movements of the wave
– sometimes even before it moves.

Some think that’s impossible.

But ask a bird or other animals before an earthquake or a fish before
a tidal wave and they’ll tell you it’s coming by their change in behavior.

In the next several weeks, I’ll be sharing some amazing new insights
about the power of one particular wave that affects everything you do.

It affects your:

Innovation & Creativity
Inner Peace
Longevity
Health & Vitality

and much more…

The mind often judges the wave during a “downturn”, but when you
learn about the secret of the wave, you’ll simply be amazed at how
you can harness this powerful force of Nature.

Hidden within this wave are the solutions to even your greatest
challenges and problems.

But when the mind tries to interpret its message, it uses only
what it knows and misses these solutions because they’re hiding
in plain sight.

Be watching for my next blog post for more…

Talk with you soon…

Paul Bauer

P.S. – What would you like to learn more about the wave?

sure I cover it in my next post.    Thanks in advance!

Our Deepest Pain Reveals Our Deepest Gifts

“Your pain is the breaking of the shell
that encloses your understanding”

– Kahlil Gibran

As we take a moment and review today’s quote by Kahlil Gibran,
we have a chance to stop and take notice that whatever challenges
or problems we may be experiencing may actually be a higher
message for us to become aware of.

When we struggle with something in our lives, we experience
resistance – a sort of “inner pain”.  But many of us weren’t taught
that pain of any kind is a signal from unconscious parts of
ourselves to awaken.

Awaken?  Awaken what?

In many cases, we may not even be conscious of what we’re feeling
pain or resistance about.  But if we take the time and really tune into
how we’re really feeling  – in the moment – without judgment, we begin
to unravel the mystery of our suffering.

Let’s take another look at today’s quote – by Kahlil Gibran:

“Your pain is the breaking of the shell
that encloses your understanding”

Let’s take a deep breath together – as we ponder this quote…

And take one more – but this time – close your eyes, and really
allow yourself to connect with the deeper parts of you.

Your breath is the path of your Spirit – and is the lifeline to
your Soul – the REAL you.

Notice how you feel after you’ve taken a few deep breaths?
If you still feel tense, you can review a wonderful breathing
exercise at this link

In this moment -ask yourself  “How do I feel”?

And take some time to write down your feelings:

(you can print this page and snuggle up in a comfy spot
and you’ll really get some amazing insights)

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________

As you’re getting in touch with the deeper parts of you (beyond
the mind) – allow this feeling to speak to you – ask it:

“What are you trying to teach me?”

and just take a deep breath and listen…
(write down whatever comes to you)

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________

You may not get an answer right away, but in time, with a
little practice, you will start to notice that your subconscious
will begin to work with you (not against you).

Ask yourself:

“In what way can I allow my understanding that Gibran talks about
to become conscious?” (known).

As the shell of our egos “break” (let go), we begin to notice that
even our deepest pain begins to reveal a profound sense of
wisdom – a wisdom that transcends stress, struggle and
resistance.

Because it’s a wake-up call from our Souls.

So today my friend – allow yourself to become aware of whatever
pain or challenge you’re experiencing. And let the “shell that covers
your understanding” crack as it may – knowing that a deeper gift
is on its way…

And So It Is…

: – )

We’re All Connected

An incredible video that helps us understand that
we’re not as separate as many once believed.

[youtube XGK84Poeynk]

“We Are All Connected” was made from sampling Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, The History Channel’s Universe series, Richard Feynman’s 1983 interviews, Neil deGrasse Tyson’s cosmic sermon, and Bill Nye’s Eyes of Nye Series, plus added visuals from The Elegant Universe (NOVA), Stephen Hawking’s Universe, Cosmos, the Powers of 10, and more. It is a tribute to great minds of science, intended to spread scientific knowledge and philosophy through the medium of music.

The Sleeping Giant

If you believe everything you read and watch in the
news, things are looking pretty grim…

Yes – I understand that in many ways, the economy
appears to be “heading south”

But that “reality” is an illusion.

It’s part of the trance that many have bought into that
creates the “Matrix” of scarcity and the perception of
“not enough”.

And until you question that “reality”, it will continue
to appear real.

What can you do to end this trance?

1. Step back from what “appears” to be the problem
(money challenges, relationship issues, feelings of not
enough, etc)

and breathe deeply 3-4 times…

pausing between each in breath and out breath…

Close your eyes, stop what you’re doing and just breathe…
(from your belly)

Really allow yourself to look at your life from
a higher perspective and let go of identifying
with the material world.

2. Question it.

In other words, question the assumption of “Not
Enough”, financial instability, need for security
or other beliefs that we’ve been brought up to
believe (in many cases without even wondering
if they’re even true.)

What if this challenge, (my 401k, my business,
money flow, etc) was already transformed?

To the conditioned mind, it appears that things are
at their worst…

But that “trance of scarcity” doesn’t have to
affect you and I.

Because we know different.

And people like us stick together in even the most
challenging times.  And we rise above the negativity
and the naysayers.

Because you’ve chosen a different path…

And the cool thing is we don’t have to participate in
the “lack mentality” and the perception of “doom
and gloom”.

As you read this, there’s a sleeping giant that’s
beginning to stir.  That giant is a part of you that
has access to ideas and intelligence that’s way
beyond the normal patterns of conditioned thought.

Imagine what it could be like if you could tap into this
higher intelligence – and how it could help you and
humanity and build a world based on compassion,
abundance and sufficiency.

In a couple of days, I’ll be sharing with you something
transformational that will affect every part of your
life and the way you perceive reality.

For several months, we’ve been working on
something incredibly exciting that will help you
end  the “Not Enough” Effect and create results
that will knock your socks off…

Watch your e-mail on Thursday, something very
cool is on its way…

To Your Dreams And To Your Abundance,

The false beliefs that our mind runs 24 hours a day

What if you knew that everything you could want or need
already exists – but a part of you simply can’t see or
believe it?

And what if you knew this part of you is running on old
outdated beliefs that were learned before age 7?

What if you could clear these old beliefs and easily
remember how to activate your abundance consciousness?

How would this affect how you feel and how you start
your day?

The false beliefs that our mind runs 24 hours a day go
something like:

  • “There’s not enough…”
  • “Why does this always happen to me?”
  • “This isn’t working – …what am I going to do?”
  • “What did I do wrong – others seem to get what they want”

and dozens of other limiting beliefs that are based on one
central belief…

That you’re separate from your Source and what you want.

But nothing could be further from the truth – and yet
our minds believe this to be so.

Every time you feel stressed about something and your mind
“kicks in” with thoughts of separateness or overwhelm, take
3-4 deep slow cleansing breaths.

And feel your connection to your Source…

And share that essence with others…

Peace my friend,

The 11th Hour

If you’re concerned about our planet – and you realize
that the future of life here is at stake, here’s
a great movie to rent (or buy) this weekend.

It’s called The 11th Hour

It’s not a question of whether we have an impact
on this planet, the real question is what we’re
willing to do about it.

If found this movie inspiring because it tells
us what we can do about the damage we’ve
caused on this planet.

and the solutions are right in front of us – each
day with the choices we make.

You can own the movie for what most rentals
cost by visiting this link.

To watch a preview of the movie, click the image below

[youtube 7IBG2V98IBY]


It’s about more than global warming, it’s about
how we treat the very Mother that gave us birth.

… and how we’ve forgotten our connection to her
and how we can restore that connection and
life itself.

Learn how you can be part of the solution

Peace,

Paul
