This very second you’re living in a miracle.
Our bodies contain miracles every moment. Your body is performing functions, creating cells, letting cells die and giving you a home to live in while you are here.
We’ve been studying the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza so that we can understand how to help ourselves and our clients truly reprogram their consciousness, their nervous systems and the patterns in their bodies and minds.
Contentment can feel weird at first and yet it’s an essential ingredient for healing. It’s been something we all quest for and yet we “think” ourselves out of contentment. Our nervous systems just aren’t used to it.
Contentment is a state of being where nothing is desired and the richness of the moment and all that’s in it comes totally present and we have the big ahhhhhhhh moment.
There is an epidemic of waiting.
As you’re reading this, see if you can notice what you are waiting for. How many layers of waiting are running inside you right now?
Waiting takes so many forms that unless we really take time to notice how we are spending ourselves in waiting we can end up living a whole life waiting to live.
The presence of creative energy is an essential ingredient to any lasting true transformation or healing. If the fires of our creativity are not kindled we’ll stay the same.
Creativity fuels our capacity to feel possibility. When we use our creativity to live into possibility our world can and does change.
There is a lot of baggage around the word. We often associate creativity with the making of art. That’s true and it’s a beautiful reflection of human possibility. But our creative essence fills us, enlivens us and seeks to lead us away from the parts of our lives that are way too small to thrive in.
The following invocation or blessing is purposeful in its reminder that we are at the foundations of our being uniquely and powerfully creative and that we can use this creativity to bring forth the change we long for in our hearts.
This blessing is from our allies the Archangel Michael and the Christ Consciousness.
We come to remind you that one of the greatest gifts of your incarnation is your natural talent to create. You are creating right now.
By reading this you are seeking remembrance of your essential most beloved part.
You create all the time. You create your reality with so much regularity that you tend to forget what you are doing. The myriad of responses and reactions that you pass through everyday re in fact reflections of what you are creating.
You create your life by the choices you make. Just as a painter chooses a color and a brush, you choose to create a filter that can make you happy or sad.
You have been conditioned to believe that you are not the vast creative energy you truly are. We are standing with you as reflectors so that you may know and claim the true power of your inventiveness.
Yes, by claiming your essence again, you will leave behind what is dead and arise reborn into the light of your true nature. Many will come to you and say “but if you do that you won’t be the same!”
Love is never lost. Love changes form and shape but its presence is pure, always within you and around you.
Remember you have been conditioned to forget. The reclaiming of your creative essence begins with the simple yet powerful realization that you are the spirit of creation itself formed into the body, the life you are living.
You do not need to understand this to claim it. In fact your desire to understand can get in the way of the resurgence of your pure creative nature.
Ask yourself:
What can I invent today?
How can I see the new not the old?
How can I laugh unabashedly?
Claiming your birthright of pure creativity begins with the simple acknowledgement. Let’s all arise in our pure inventive creative power. By doing so we will be able to dance in this life and stop just trudging through it.
Experiment with saying:
I am the essence of life itself.
I am bathed in love now.
I am alive in the greatness of life beyond all the noise in my mind.
I am love thickened into this body.
Remember, Creativity is Essential for Transformation. Risk being the joy and wildness that you really are. It’s in you now waiting for your yes.

We’d love to hear your thoughts below.
None of us will be immune from the ever-growing presence of the conditions known as dementia or Alzheimer’s. In 2015, There were an estimated 46.8 million people worldwide living with dementia which will reach 74.7 million in 2030- Link
The causes of this condition are unknown. What is clear however is that the impact on individual’s, families and community is enormous.
Our friend Don Cramer, in his book
Where’s Whitney Now -A Husband’s Alzheimer’s journey and Caregiver’s Guide has written a personal account describing his and Whitney’s mutual evolution and offers caregivers everywhere valuable guidance.
This compelling story is a fascinating read: sobering, and ultimately transformative written with clarity, good humor and love..
Don’s account of their collective evolution is essential reading because it shatters myths about what this condition really is and whom it affects.
Don and Whitney were meditators who lived a very healthy lifestyle. He was successful in the business world and she was a well-known teacher in the San Diego area. When Whitney suddenly slipped beyond Don’s ability to manage her care, it required an immediate, gut-wrenching move to San Miguel de Allende in central Mexico where we have witnessed first hand this amazing story.
As one reviewer writes:
“Anyone who is a caregiver or who knows a caregiver should really read this. It would also be helpful for anyone recently diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s to help them understand what may be ahead and how to deal with it.”
We agree.
Here’s the link on Amazon to the book.

Please share this book with anyone you know who might benefit be they recently diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s or is a caregiver.
Having navigated illness with many clients and their loved ones and caregivers, we know this book is a vital gift.
Love,
Susan and David
This blog starts a new series for 2016 on Tools for Thriving. We are bringing forth blessings from our allies to assist each of us to connect to the fountain of life and vitality that surrounds us all the time.
Why is it that so often we don’t achieve the New Year’s resolutions we make at the beginning of each year?
It’s because our resolutions are often veiled demands on ourselves and the world around us. When we demand we stop the flow of life.
We are trained to take ourselves away from the rich mystery we actually live in. We think and believe in ways that block us from living and expressing from our deepest heartfelt desires.
What if some of our processes of affirmation, like meditation, yoga or prayers are getting in the way of thriving?
Sometimes even though a process seems so good, it’s actually a form of demanding on life.
The primary thriving tool we have found is that acceptance is the first law of spirit.
If we don’t accept what’s so, we create turbulence that keeps us stuck. We’ve all developed clever tools that hide our habit of demanding.
Ask yourself, “Am I in a place of acceptance or am I requiring that what is so be different?”
The only difference we can create is in how we perceive. From a clear point of perception we can take actions that can nurse greater ease, clarity and love.
A perception based on acceptance opens us to a battery of creativity in the life that is all around us and allows for real change, real evolution- Transformation not just stimulation.
Use this blessing as an invocation, a daily reminder, to let go of ideas that have tried to comfort us but actually hold us back from the very things we want and need.
This blessing is from our allies the Archangel Michael and the Christ Consciousness.
You have been trained to believe that what you think is darkness is the absence of light. So much of what you sense as darkness is in fact filled and vibrating with a radiance of light.
In the days before you, know this, there is a rain of guidance showering down upon you. If you give your seeking a rest, this fervent guidance will touch your mind, your heart and your body.
You have been trained to believe you are separate from the vast aliveness that life is, that you are. It is time now to end that illusion.
Before each of you is a fountain of life and vitality. You can be nourished in ways you long for by trusting that at times you will be afraid and other times you will have unbridled joy. Sometimes you may want to die. Sometimes you will want to fly.
Your life is a spectrum of experiences designed to grow you as a soul, an eternal being. We hold you in a resting pose invite you into the wild mystery that life is.
Now is the time for you to feel and know your unmistakable connection to the web of life that you are part of on this planet and to all the life that is beyond earth.
Yes- we are asking you to trust in ways you have not before because you are ready to.
How, you may ask?
When you feel yourself grasping, seeking the answer you believe you must have, STOP. Bring everything around you to a full stop. Notice in the stopping the stillness.
We your beloveds will meet you every time and usher forth to you the knowing that you need to reclaim your thriving no matter what the circumstances.
There is thriving in joy.
There is thriving even in sorrow.
There is thriving unto death.
Thriving is what you are, remember.

from David and Susan
