What is in your magnetic field of attraction for relationship?

If you have ever been in the losing end of the relationship game, you may still be tormenting yourself with thoughts about “what went wrong?”, “what should I do differently?”, “why don’t men/women respect me”, etc. or affirming your negative beliefs such as “I will never marry”, “all the good ones are gone” or “I always get abused in relationship”, “Men/women can’t be trusted” etc. These thoughts, are a kind of unconscious intention that vibrates in our energetic field and has the power of attracting more of the same. We barely notice the origin of our bad relationship luck.

If our best intentions and actions for finding a partner, dating or taking an existing relationship deeper, are not manifesting, chances are non-coherent patterns are standing in our way. Here are some areas of relationship energetics to consider:

Do you resonate with and allow for phases of relationship to happen in the developmental order of acquaintance phase, friendship phase and 3-4 stages of dating to relationship intimacy? Flowing too fast with instant chemistry may burn out the wiring needed for a long term relationship. Skipping steps in relationship development will lead to problems later. It’s like a baby trying jog before crawling.

Do you expect to go from the stage of when your eyes first met to a wedding in a matter of weeks? Allowing for relationship evolution as each stage of relationship builds on the last creates a stronger and stronger platform. Building a strong energetic base built over time helps to endure the ups and downs of a longer term relationship.

Do you give away your power to choose? After a dating drought we may feel like the next person we date has to be ‘it’! Use the stages of evolution to evaluate if a potential partner actually has what you need and want in a relationship. Be detached as much as possible in this evaluation. It’s not about him/her accepting you – do you accept them? This is can be very tricky because we may want a relationship so badly that we overlook the deficits, or project our ideal image on to someone who is not at all what we want. Relationship heartache results. You could wake up and find yourself married to someone who plays an Elvis radio station 24/7 where you yourself need a daily fix of Mozart and Bach to feed your soul.

Do you enjoy the dating game? Know that a successful courtship doesn’t always end in a marriage or life partner. A successful courtship may also reach the conclusion that both of you are good people with not enough in common at every level to make a long term commitment. You don’t have to end things with a drama to declare this conclusion. Instead appreciate the opportunity for finding out what you need and want in a relationship and gracefully move on. Your field of attraction will have expanded and is sending out vibes for attracting a better match. In the meantime, enjoy getting to know a new person, find out who they are, what their values are and do so independent of what is true for you.

Resonating with all the elements of having a life partner – your masculine/feminine polarity, your values, the stages of relationship development, and the relationship capacity you build at each stage is essential to creating a magnetic field of attraction. It is a simple law of quantum physics that what we resonate with is what we manifest.

Nun Karma Repatterning Download

 Nothing has created more of a stir in my weekly newsletter announcements in recent months than the telecall repatterning I hosted November 3rd for the Nun Karma Release.   It was a topic that hit a chord for anyone struggling with what seemed to be a karmic relationship to solemn vows taken in a previous life and invisibly operating this life – inappropriately holding individuals back. 

“SOLEMN VOWS
A spiritual consecration in which one is irrevocably set apart through a state of absolute surrender of self to a higher authority. All right to ownership of goods or property is relinquished. For many people, especially men, this commitment is taken to heart at a deep and irreversible level. Until now.” 

For those that know of resonance repatterning inner work, it was a topic that also hit a chord with the usual repatterning practitioners excitement and exuberance for not only clearing the pattern but replacing it with a more highly energized pattern of our choosing.  

The Nun Karma Repatterning - an initiative organized by Gail Glanville, with colleagues  Carol Cannon, Kathie Joblin, Nancy Martin, Helene Zahn-Chilberg  and myself earlier this fall is now available as a free download  e-book.  We have written this for anyone to read and do work on themselvs.  Resonance Repatterning practitioners may find it particularily useful to add to their repatterning protocals.   Be sure to sign up for the free E-Book version AND get updates on upcoming events using this repatterning at http://www.NunKarma.com .  Also let us know how this repatterning is working for you. Comments welcomed!

Name 3 Good Things That Happened for You…

Quick! Name 3 good things that happened for you in the last 30 minutes.

- 3 good things that happened for you in the last week.
- 3 good things that happened for you in the last 30 days.
- 3 good things that happened for you since September 1st.
- 3 good things that happened for you since last January 1st
- 3 good things that happened for you  in the last 3 years
- 3 good things that happened for you in the last 3 decades

Take in the energy of the good things you appreciate and notice how you feel.  You have just repatterned yourself!
Write out your list of good things that happened for you and print a copy.  Glance at your good things list when you need to remember life is good or you need an energy boost.  It may be easier to name the good things in your life you think as you have been repatterned with the daily mini repatterning called ENERGIZE!

Here are mine

30 minutes ago, – wonderful visit with my Practitioner colleague Kathie Joblin here from north of the city, being recipient of a repatterning for getting ‘on’ for social media, and having tea (Prince of Wales tea) and dessert (not fair to say) before she had to leave.

- 3 good things that happened for you in the last week. – friends put me in charge of planning the pot luck dinner menu,  the upcoming gathering, finished 3 more quilt blocks that are now getting to look like something.
- 3 good things that happened for you in the last 30 days. – Won a bag of Intelligista Coffee on Twitter from @grindercoffee (okay now I know what the fuss is all about), figuring out how to connect on Twitter, discovering how information is now moving through the internet as a result of reading tweets and blogs. Oaky it’s all making sense to me – even though I have a ways to go to figure out how to use a blog!  
- 3 good things that happened for you since September 1st. – learning about the evolutionary impulse, Craig Hamilton’s class, the book – Integral Consciousness by Steven MacIntosh
- 3 good things that happened for you since last January 1st – my previously loved car, attending an integral style wedding for the son of dear friends, finishing 2 quilts as gifts for friends.
- 3 good things that happened for you  in the last 3 years – Kathie inspiring me to quilt (has it been 3 years!), learning how to install a login program, use session variables and customize my online resonance repatterning sessions with huge gratitude to the web guys at Thomas Brunts http://www.Outfront.net and the mystery guy called SPOOKY.  I am still not a web developer but feel like i could be!  My road trip in Las Vegas with Elaine and Rick still feels like yesterday and left me with the inclination to not always drive with map. Now I am inclined to say “let’s get lost in the part of town for a while and see what its like”

- 3 good things that happened for you in the last 3 decades – 2 great learnings…Resonance repatterning and Integral Consciousness, finding work that aligns totally with who I am using the first 2, the opportunities to serve others and make a difference every day.

Okay it’s your turn!

With love and light,

Carolyn

Repatterning for Peace In Afghanistan

UPDATE  FOR MONDAY NOV 23rd  - The next session is this evening approximately 7:00PM Eastern.  Hit Reply to be included.  Nov 16th notes are ready but yet to be posted. I am still working out a system for this.   

Visualize peace in Afghanistan by envisioning the Tribes being protected, empowered and honored. 

With light and love

Carolyn

Hi all – my thanks to those of you who so enthusiastically endorsed this endeavor.   This past week, we repatterned all group members for peace in Afghanistan using items from current events as the coherent and non-coherent patterns to clear.  As a reminder these were sessions done by long distance healing method known as the ‘proxy method’ using the Resonance Repatterning(R) System. 

To follow up with the last 2 posts at this site, I have provided the session notes for you.  SESSION NOTES -REPATTERNING FOR PEACE IN AFGHANISTAN Nov 9 & 11th 2009.    Reading them can help you integrate the session for yourself OR if you just found out about this endeavor, – you can retro-intend your participation in the process. You’ll like feel a healing wave of fatigue, yawning or tearing eyes while reading the document signalling a healing response in your system.

Our collective shift is now creating a wave for peace.  Trust me we are far from done.  More is coming on this long distance healing project in the weeks to come.

With light and love,
Carolyn W.

Repatterning For Peace In Afganistan

Please see the other post “Do we resonate with Peace in Afganistan” . This post is an invitation to join me in a long distance healing session where my part is done in real time -November 11 2009.  Your part is done in virtual time – when ever you read this.  We are using the Resonance Repatterning (R) system for shifting energy and my unique online group proxy method for doing this work at a distance.

The underlying principle to these type of sessions are:

1. We are pulsing fields of energy including our thoughts and these frequencies are governed by the laws of physics
2. What we resonate with is what we tend to experience in our outward reality
3. When we change our frequency others change in relation to us – evidence for a unified field or our interconnected nature.  (see that article on the happiness study of social networks to get an idea of this (RT @SignalPatterns http://bit.ly/jLP5)
4. Change the frequency pattern in a network and the entire field of frequencies change.

 
I use the analogy of a hologram to describe this kind of work. When I do a  long distance session for a group on a topic it is NOT that we are repatterning specific individuals.   We can only notice the problems in another because we ourselves have that frequency. (like attracts like).  Therefore if you have a problem with your spouse – repattern that same issue in yourself. Notice your spouse changing!  Likewise – if I am resonating with war in Afganistan – my outward reality will be noticing headlines with war in Afganistan.     To change my outward reality of Afghanistan admittedly is HUGE!   But if this theory of our interconnectedness is true, I am willing to venture this unexplored map and repattern what I can.

Awareness is everything.  I am using the information gleaned from The Newshour interview, and the illuminating E-Book by Jim Gant, as maps for the resonant qualities to change in this session. 

So how do you participate? For this session we’ll keep it simple. Please just press reply and say “include me” .   Later I will post the link to a PDF with the session notes – which will provide more explanation about resonance repatterning sessions and everything else you need to know for this to work.

So join me either from the holodeck looking back in time at this space time co-ordinate or in real time.  Press REPLY to be included.  Think Peace in Afghanistan. Take an hour to noodle around online to fine out what that means.  

With light and love
Carolyn W.

Do We Resonate With Peace in Afghanistan?

Repatterning Afghanistan - If nations have frequencies with patterns that are both coherent and non-coherent, are we really resonating with peace in Afghanistan?

Some random thoughts floating in my head…

I don’t really understand Afghanistan.
I am very uncomfortable with what I see.
I would like to make a difference.
Everyday, people are dying for this country or cause – why is that? Why won’t it stop?
What can I honestly do?

First of all, I will admit to not being at all well informed on this topic and high on my list is more reading about the nature and problems over there that become hazy news titles over here that I avoid reading.  Last year I was driving along Ontario’s busy highway 401 returning from a family gathering north of Toronto where I live, when I began noticing people lining up over the bridges, trucks and cars pulled over to the side and traffic slowing down. In the dim light of dusk it was an eerie site.  I had no idea what was going on. It turned out to be the  Highway Of Heroes – a space time dimension carved out on one of the worlds busiest highways paying respects that day for 3 Canadian soldiers who died in Afghanistan.  A cavalcade passed me on the highway carrying the caskets towards their final resting ground.

Remembering the soldiers, so many promising young men and women – it is a strange kind of grief I feel when I hear of the next one going down that highway.  Did we throw their lives away for nothing?

I know that we are there as a nation trying to restore order; that the military brass say its a tall order and we can’t leave now. Canada is set to exit its troops in 2011.

There is a peripheral awareness or knowing that western soldiers from everywhere are dying from roadside bombs, and small village attacks. I know it is not just about the western aid and soldiers. Looking at pictures from David Guttenfelder, it is also about regular people who would just like to have a life where things worked out well, where they could reasonably expect their children to do better than themselves in their life time, where women don’t worry about the kids going out to play because of mine fields, where people can trust one another.

Floating into my awareness is a documentary from sometime ago, maybe in the mid 90’s with Barbara Walters revealing how a new social order was turning the clock back for women in Afghanistan. It was increasingly harder to hold posts at the university, or wear western clothes. Why didn’t ‘they’ do something about the problem then? 

Was it on the News Hour recently? The idea that there is a feeling that there is too much corruption in the country for any of our aid to do any good.

This has all come to the light of my day via my recent Twittering experiences.  More than one tweet from Guy Kawasaki and others caught my interest and I explored a bit.  Here are some of the key links that moved me:

A blog article:
http://atwar.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/04/going-tribal-in-afghanistan/  

and leading to a download 45 page paper  by Major Jim Grant entitled “On Tribe at a Time”  - found at Steven Pressfield’s blog:  http://blog.stevenpressfield.com/

Moving pictures of Afghanistan from Photographer David Guttenfelder
My heart aches just looking at David’ pictures.

The blog post by Steven Kayser on Overcoming Resistance inspired by Jim Gants book  moved me to action at least to do what I can with who I am and what I have by way of tools. Consequently this post.

Tools for Change? - Awareness is everything.  In the scheme of things, I am nobody. That is the part that can feel so hopeless. Other than how I vote, or spend money what other tools do I have? Plenty – locked away in an interior life rich with possibility where as Deepak Chopra says we have infinite potential. This is the area where anyone can create peace and depending on your quest,  a world wide movement.  We just need tools. Here are my tools…

Power Tool #1 – Ghandi’s “be the change you seek in the world”.  Now I have always loved that quote, and interpreted it loosely as ‘walk your talk’. but lately I see it differently. If we examine our life as though it were a part contained in the whole and that changing one part can change the whole – holographically, Ghandi is so amazingly right.  Perhaps looking  at the trending topics of our own day and see how they are mirrored in the issues of Afghanistan and taking corrective action in our own life can leverage the efforts of our troops can create a better outcome personally and globally.  Be the change for Afghanistan when you are driving, negotiating, strategizing, leveraging, talking to the family, making business deals etc. Be the change. Read the news to see if it made a difference.  I know this concept may strike you as strange… but try it just for a day.

Power Tool #2 – Envision the change.  Lynne McTaggart’s book “The Intention Experiment”  explores the science of intention.  Her experiments are incrementally working towards proving how collective thought can change a system. Monks blessing polluted water can change the chemistry of a pond. It’s what I do every day – set intentions. On my ‘to do’ list is 5 minutes of visualizing good outcomes for our efforts in Afghanistan. Knowing what the troops or the country needs will help. Must do more reading here. 

Power Tool # 3- Repattern the change. Now my disclosure is that I do make a living helping others solve problems using Resonance Repatterning. My motivation is that I believe people are innately good, that out of nothing we create our own reality, that what we resonate with is what manifests and that light travels a spiral of consciousness individually and collectively. My thought is to employ this tool and regularly do a repatterning for the situation in Afghanistan. I am starting tonight. Monday November 9th 2009 and will also do a session on Wednesday Remembrance day.  If you know what it means to say “Proxy me in” You are welcomed to join this hologram with me.  It will be the first of many unless the wave we create is so strong, change happens over night and a repatterning is no longer needed.

Be the change, Set an intention and envision an outcome that gives meaning and purpose to those who have given their life to this cause – living or dead, allow a shift to occur for a country that needs to connect with humanity so that our interconnected well-being improves.  If you like the idea of being repatterned to be the change…  just hit reply and declare ‘Proxy me in” my overall intention is repatterning Afghanistan for peace and prosperity.

What are your thoughts? How is the situation in Afghanistan mirrored in the events of your day today? Do you think we can bring about a peaceful new beginning for this ancient far away land?  

Comments welcomed.

Last Update with audio! Nun/Monk Karma Release Repatterning

November 3rd – This afternoon we did a pilot resonance repatterning session for Nun/Monk Karmic release http://aweber.com/b/1t-lI . It is certainly a topic that spoke to quite a large group. My thanks to all who participated. The recording will come soon so you can listen to it again or retro-intend if you missed it altogether. Your feedback is appreciated as we continue to develop the repatterning. The feedback at the end of the call was certainly awesome.

Later that day….

Here is the the audio link and mp3 if you missed the session.

Just a few notes to give a context to everyone’s comments, many of the vows taken in past life roles such as being a nun, monk, martyr, servant, or starving artist, etc, were taken in an expanded enlightened state of consciousness before God or source depending on your spiritual view point. While the vows perhaps fit the evolved state of consciousness for that lifetime, in this lifetime, they may well hold us back from living an abundant life of purpose and happiness. But a vow is a vow, frequently accompanied by an oath of maintaining the vow even in death and beyond. So where does that vow of poverty, celibacy, martyrdom, renunciation get us today?

In centuries gone by I can well understand how these type of vows were the only options that could be understood by someone following a spiritual path seeking enlightenment. It would take a lifetime of meditation and prayer or contemplation to understand what it meant to reach a state of self or God realization, or non dual state of awareness. The mental neuronet just wasn’t there for most of the populations and for even most of the enlightened leaders of the times. The simple answer was vows such as renunciation of all worldly goods and to embrace poverty.

To update our inherited or past life karma residing as invisible viruses in our unconscious awareness is necessary in the context of the current times. I see the ultimate evolution of a spiritual path as one where we are ‘over our ego’ , being in the present moment free of unclaimed baggage and an exalted state of oneness and awareness of our place in the universe. In that state of spiritual enlightenment, we are detached from worldly goods, ego driven concerns and the trappings of having more stuff. But unlike the past life experience we can be in this exalted state and ‘be the change’. We apparently have the mental gears to get there at this point in our evolution, but few of us may do much about it. I think its because past vows are getting in our way of being effective spiritual beings. It’s hard to lead a cause to save the planet if our vow of poverty won’t support us with paying the costs of a public awareness campaign. Spirit is not too concerned with paying our bills. Floating between a worldly state and spiritually enlightened state effectively, (in my opinion) requires that we recognize the abundance of the universe within ourselves.

Our repatterning released the vows that no longer serve us and updates us with vows or newer versions in keeping with our evolutionary path of enlightenment.

What are your views on karmic vows?

Participants,…did you feel that shift? Comments welcomed! How did you like the scribbling exercise?

Much appreciation for everyone’s involvement and to my colleague Gail Glanville who initiated the collaboration.

With love and light,

Carolyn

Build Your Energy Reserves – Appreciate Good Things that Happened for You

Energize Focus for the Week:  ”Appreciate 3 good things that happened for you today”  Energetically, we are in the season of appreciation. In the 5 Element and meridian system of energy on which acupuncture is based, Metal element is associated with the season of autumn, and the quality of appreciation. To be in synch with the energy cycles of nature puts our own system in energetic order and while there may be thousands of things we can do, I find the simplest is just the straightforward act of appreciation and /or gratitude.

A principle from quantum physics is closely linked with this spiritual quality – all probabilities are equally probably. What manifests is what we focus on. Appreciation does that in subtle ways that can build over time if we make it a habit. Appreciating traffic going well – notice how it always flows well for you. Appreciating your family for pitching in and getting the chores done – notice how often it starts getting done with asking. Praising your child for their completed homework and lovingly asking what they will work on next -notice how homework becomes the first thing they want to do. (Works in the workplace as well!) The choice to appreciate something over time activates a secondary quality of the Metal Element cycle – that of building a reserve of energy. If we want reserves of health, money, vitality, energy, good humor etc. – this is the season to start filling the tank.
This week fill your energy tank by selecting 2-3 areas of your life where you will appreciate outcomes regularily.

Do some of the recommended positive actions now posted at the Energize program web. See if it helps you establish a pattern of appreciation. http://lighttravels.org/energize/actions.asp . Appreciating 3 good things that happens for you may be easier to do than you think as you have been repatterned with the mini repatterning called ENERGIZE!

Carolyn Winter’s Applebutter Recipe

Inspired by all of the great samplings at the September Savor Stratford event, I did something I haven’t done for  years and made applebutter.  It’s so easy I wonder why I don’t make this more often. Plus you can control the amount of sugar you put into it.  I know my recent batch, must have had a good number of people in our apartment block, scurrying to make apple anything homemade. 

Make it yourself and you may drive everyone in the apartment block/household wondering “who IS that fabulous cook?”  Think of all the positive vibes you’ll attract!

Here is my version of applebutter:

Into a large roasting pan with lid place:
3-4 pounds of apples. Use what you have but I tried 2 or 3 of every kind at the green grocers about 2 dozen in all.   Quarter them and remove seeds and stems but don’t peel.

1 large lemon cut in half and squeeze out the juice into pan; remove seeds and cut lemon into quarters for the pot.

A  2″ piece of peeled fresh ginger chopped fine and added to the pot
2 whole cloves + 1 cinnamon stick + 2-3 all spice pods

1 cup of dark brown sugar.

Put the lid on pan and place in an oven at 200 degrees and slow cook for a few hours. I left mine in the oven overnight.  (Note:- I haven’t tried this but I imagine a large slow cooker will also do the trick)

Remove from oven when everything is mushy and kinda dark brown, with little liquid on top. Cool and then whiz with a hand processor or blender.

Pour in pint jars and refrigerate. Of course giving some away to the neighbors, is also a good thing to do!

Enjoy.

World Peace Hologram Session: Eradicating Child Poverty

Can our thoughts really change our outward reality? Can we really just intend away some of the harsh realities of our existence? One of my favorite books iluuminating my interior world and that gives me hope for the future is “The Intention Experiment” by Lynne McTaggart. Actually, anything written by Lynne McTaggart is on my favorites list as she is first and foremost a professional journalist who goes after the facts, and in a logical step by step analysis of those facts brings me to the place I started out based on faith and intuition.  The science and probablity of intentions that Lynne writes about has now been part of the inspiration and muse in Dan Brown’s latest book The Lost Symbol.

The idea that our thoughts can change our lives has always held promise for me that things beyond my control are very much within my abilities to change. When outward action doesn’t seem to do it – like hopelessly complaining to Bell Canada, I think well – perhaps I can change things with my thoughts.  While I am still trying to work this magic on Bell Canada (unreasonably hoping that they have the capacity to serve customers and carriers with integrity), I experienced far more instantaneous relief with yesterday’s World Peace Hologram resonance repatterning session with Ardis Ozborn.   In a 1 hour telecall session we  repatterned the vast deep topic of Eradicating Child Poverty.

Operating on the principle that the sum is contained in all of the parts, The World Peace Hologram sessions aim at repatterning topics that simoutaneously address our local personal issues that are also frequency patterns playing out on a larger stage of the world and contribute to peace.  Peace inside and out is one of the mantras.  Over 1000 participants are included energetically in the session  with a handful taking the time to submit their issues and intentions for repatterning. My role in this event was to stand in as the proxy for the group giving a voice to the various patterns that practitioner and veteran teacher Ardis Ozborn surfaced throughout the session. She set the stage with an overview of the vastness of child poverty and the tradegy that there are more than enough resources world wide to prevent this.  Every day children’s lives are slipping away without a murrmur due to our collective resonace of despair feeding the bigger pattern of blocked distribution.

Typical of the subtle energy nature of resonance repatterning, during the session, I could physically feel the weight of despair, from our collective involvement in the topic and went through many waves of emotions.  Equally powerful was the sensation of shifting to higher ground, and a sense that no matter how vast the topic, my going forward with just one small positive action in my world will contribute to a wave of shifts – an expanded world hologram of peace where child poverty is eradicated.   I feel more hopeful and optimistic about taking any action and thank Ardis Ozborn for the privilege  of  serving as proxy in the session.

The session is recorded and posted along with detailed session notes, and a place to retro-intend your particiaption (read The Intention Experiment to understand that concept) in a session that happened yesterday.  If you are signed up here is the direct link http://worldpeacehologram.org/Program/Notes2009/October.asp

If not, just get a u/p – its really easy.

Did the session make a difference? Is there a little less child poverty in the world today? I am sure that until The Intention Experiments gains further recognition and reaches deeper, journalists will not be picking up this story. The answer is in my awareness, the news that I am noticing, tweeting, and paying attention to.  Today, I am reading the twitter feed, and newspapers looking for the signs that something has changed.  Perhaps even Bell Canada will do the right thing in my world today. I will let you know!

In the meantime, I invite you to tune in, and join a coherent wave for world peace.  It may be the one thing that changes your day and in doing so saves one child’s life from the despair of poverty.

With light and love

 Carolyn Winter
