ImageReflections On “A Course In Miracles”: Choosing to Live In A Place Of Love And Not Fear
“No matter what is going on in my body, I strive to remain in a quiet place of peace.” Jennifer Miller
By Jennifer Miller
Marianne Williamson’s “A Course in Miracles” teaches that most of us live in a place of love or fear. We have a choice of how we want to be and act in any given situation.I have been reflecting recently that I am at a point in my life where I am aware of how am feeling and, if I am reacting to these feelings, I know it. I am striving to limit these ”reactions”, and remain in the moment, a state of peaceful quietude where nothing can “rock my world”.
And I continue to make progress. There have been many situations in the past year that might have ”taken me out”. I now strive to find that place of acceptance and often, detachment, which allows me to step back and say to myself ”I see what is going on here…game over”.
Every one of us can chose to live in fear or love at that very moment. I recently watched Marianne Williamson speaking to Oprah about how our life’s blueprint is designed to achieve our highest purpose.
Anyone can “download” their life plan but if it is not synchronized with our emotions, we have little chance of fulfilling our highest purpose.
In yoga, we are trained to stay with our breath. Whatever asana or posture we are in, no matter what is going on in my body, I strive to remain in a quiet place of peace. Our body and mind follow our breath. I strive daily to remain conscious of this and come back to this “place of peace” when I feel rattled or off in some way.
Ahhhh… that beautiful connection to our soul is all through the discipline of BREATH…
Namaste, Jennifer Miller

“See If You Can Give Yourself Gifts That May Be True Blessings, Such As Self-Acceptance…” – Jon Kabat-Zinn
“See if you can give yourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, or some time each day with no purpose.”
“Practice feeling deserving enough to accept these gifts, without obligation–to simply receive from yourself, and from the universe.”

Reflections On Eckhart Tolle’s “A New Earth”: “A Balanced You” By Jennifer Miller
“A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle makes very important statements on the “balance” we need in life to feel fulfilled. I like the term “A Balanced You”.” When we find that connection with Source, which creates the balance in our lives, we become vehicles for awakened consciousness to express in our world. Then everything changes.”
.
Tolle believes that women are ahead of men when it comes to awakening.
.
The feminine is naturally more connected with being because they have never completely lost the connectedness with FEELING.
Because the ego was never as deeply rooted in women, it is losing its hold on them more quickly than men. This is also why there are more women teaching “collective awakening”.

Reflections On Dr. Wayne Dyer’s “Wishes Fulfilled: Mastering The Art Of Manifesting” By Jennifer Miller
Jennifer Miller reviewed “Wishes Fulfilled: Mastering The Art Of Manifesting” with Petra Sovella, her beautiful Soul Mother
.
Dr. Dyer continues to make important contributions to the study of self-development. The following are highlights of a group discussion, led by Petra, of “Wishes Fulfilled”:- The subconscious isn’t impacted by what we feel; it reacts to what it receives. Therefore, what we think can manifest itself in up to 98% of the life our subconscious mind is creating.
- Changing the way the world is viewed, the “outside picture”, allows for a reprogramming of the spirit and soul.
- It is important to the acknowledge the “truth” of what we desire.
What does it feel like in your body when you speak your truth?
- We are all “energy beings”; what we feel and think will manifest itself in some form. For example, worrying will create more suffering.
-
Place a hand over your heart and ask:
What are you yearning for? What are your deepest wishes? What are your dreams and desires?
The truth of what we desire will always feel vibrant and positive. We all deserve goodness. Our truth is love and oneness connected to Universal Intelligence. Imagine the place we want to be, as if in a movie: imagine it as if it is so.
Feel it…Believe it…Know it
We should still our minds with “stillness” so we can hear that small, quiet voice of our intuition. Stillness creates connection, peace and calm within our bodies and mind.
One should find a feeling that is good and let it grow; it will evolve into form. It will lift you up and energize your being. The world around you will respond with what is set forth with your intention.
Thought = feeling = form (manifestation)
Finally, all of us should manifest by stating ”I am” as if it is already so:
.
I am Love
I am honored by my children
I am in a loving , nurturing relationship that supports all of me.
I am abundant in life
I am supported in all of my dreams
.
Say ”I am” throughout your day and watch the transformation in your life.
.
Namaste, Jennifer Miller
