Choose the Best, Then Use Your Best
While manifesting, hold the sensation of what you are trying to experience: the end product of your manifestation or the feeling you are trying to reach with your manifestation. Nothing far-flung is required of you in order to manifest a specific outcome — a situation, a result, an effect –. Only three things: time, attention,Continue reading “Choose the Best, Then Use Your Best”
From Appreciation to Mastery
Eating does not make you a cook.Participating in a workshop does not make you an expert.Reading does not make you a writer. And yet, you have to receive before you master anything and then apply what you have learned in the way you are capable of. The more you practice, the better you get atContinue reading “From Appreciation to Mastery”
The How — Bring It On
The best advice comes not from the person who knows the ins and outs of a situation, but from the person who knows the solution. If you have a solution, bring it on. The solution for one issue solves many others. Have you noticed? Your most constructive friend knows your next best step. And theContinue reading “The How — Bring It On”
What can you do to bring more happiness to your family?
Do that! You will not only stay out of trouble by making harmony and ease in the home your priority. Toxic people will stay away from you – because they don’t know what to do with someone so constructive – and their bullshit will not reach you at all. The benefits from that decision willContinue reading “What can you do to bring more happiness to your family?”
Extremist ideologies can not survive in the climate of love.
When your life is full of love, you draw boundaries almost by instinct. Everything that isn’t love, healthy, and doesn’t feel right stays out. You don’t have to think so hard to maintain that attitude. But for those whose lives are not about love, those who have never experienced love, those who fall for anyContinue reading “Extremist ideologies can not survive in the climate of love.”
Song of 2019
It is too early to elect this year’s song.. But here is the top song of 2019 again. Enjoy.
Firm Love Talking
You too deserve to be happy. Don’t make your heart wrong, don’t make your mind wrong, let them work together for your happiness. Look at all the patterns that keep you unhappy and resolve to give them up, one by one. ✩ A major obstacle to happiness is the expectation that people be different thanContinue reading “Firm Love Talking”
The One Who Inflicts the Wound Is Not the One Who Will Put You Together Again
Q: Should I tell the narcissist that the way he/she handled … ( … ) … devastated me? A: It doesn’t matter. At best he will be flattered that he caused a stir, had an effect, “another one stunned, by me”. But do not expect him to be moved. A narcissist is only moved byContinue reading “The One Who Inflicts the Wound Is Not the One Who Will Put You Together Again”
How to Beat a Narcissist
You can’t. Don’t even try. Though I have a tip that worked like medicine. I told the narcissist to take the fight out of his relationships and bring the energy into a cause. To be a warrior for a cause and not fire wars within his intimate bonds. Oh, he was so upset. The relationshipContinue reading “How to Beat a Narcissist”
Mutuality in Love
A huge disappointment is not the end of the story. Sometimes it catalyzes a profound level of appreciation for your life, for what you have done and for what you have given. Perhaps the event and the negativity that played out was not karma at all. But a way to bring your attention to yourselfContinue reading “Mutuality in Love”
Reclamation of the Mind
Most people don’t have to live with the consequences of their advice and if put to a test, they wouldn’t want to. Be very discerning about whose ideas you follow. Wisdom is not in words. It is even hard to put into words; often enough it sounds stupid, awkward, uncool or “repressed”. However, it respondsContinue reading “Reclamation of the Mind”
Contrast (Your Backwind)
Sometimes the opposite of what you ask for comes into your life not to punish you or spite you or deprive you, but to amplify your desire for it, to wake you up to how real your need for it is. If you are too laid-back and talk yourself into the idea that you’ve gotContinue reading “Contrast (Your Backwind)”
Contrast? Nah. Attunement!
By pointing out ugly deeds or who the ugly people are, you haven’t created a beautiful world and you haven’t made yourself a beautiful person. Contrast has its place and time, but it is an effect — shocking, sharp and short-lived — not a lifestyle. Your creative energy seeks its own contentment. It has aContinue reading “Contrast? Nah. Attunement!”

Because I Can
Spirit to Artists: “You make beauty for others not only for personal reward or to raise your self-worth or to raise the joy in the community you are in — although that happens — but to be yourself — that in itself is freedom — and because you can. It is a gift from Creator.Continue reading “Because I Can”
Knowing It and Knowing About It: the Nonverbal and the Verbal
The less mysterious it is, the easier you can talk about it. But life without mystery is an illusion, merely a head trip. And love without mystery, are you kidding me, can that even be called love? And so what is most precious to us can not be (fully) put in words. Even the bestContinue reading “Knowing It and Knowing About It: the Nonverbal and the Verbal”
Mind on Earth, Heart in the Sky
Mind, look to the earth.Heart, look to the sky. Mind on earth, keep me rooted, strong, and humble.Heart in the sky, stretch me into what is possible, into heaven. © Nanda Jurela 28 March 2013
What You Keep Determines Your Life
A great rule of thumb to live by: It’s not about what you attract, it’s about what you keep. What you attract is random, changes from one day to another, even from one hour to another, there is no cohesion to it. You won’t find much meaning in events that have little to do withContinue reading “What You Keep Determines Your Life”
