Unconditional Happiness

Your Joy Comes From Within

2008-11-30T08:58:00.002-05:00

"My joy doesn't depend upon the approval of others.
No effective guidance will ever be achieved by seeking the approval of others, for they all desire different things of you.
Constant, pure guidance from Source comes forth from within you. It is always there."

Abraham-Hicks

Say No to Fear

2008-11-29T19:46:00.003-05:00

Is there really anything worse than fear? I don't think so. Fear is such a horrible emotion, it feels terrible and can really drag you down into the mud emotionally. Fear is like the polar opposite of positive visualization - it, along with worrying, is like negative visualization. It will send you down a road you really don't want to travel.

I have noticed so many using fear in advertising or campaigning to try to negatively motivate. The people that resort to fear, no matter the motive, are trying to manipulate with no regard to our well being or free choice.

One of the greatest things you can do for yourself is to develop your "fear radar" and to tune out anyone who is trying to motivate, control or manipulate you through fear. The greatest way to motivate, empower and inspire others is through a positive message or example.

If you want to improve your life in a big way, take every small step you can to focus on the positive. Be positive whenever you can and to turn the other cheek to fear. Here is a great Abraham-Hicks quote about fear and illness:

"People DO NOT die of illnesses. They die of FEAR of illnesses. The
illnesses literally SCARE them into the disallowance of wellness. And if
they could just find a little piece of something that could give them
just a little breathing room, just a little breathing room, just a
little breathing room- they could breath themselves right back into
wellness, every single time. We are not kidding you- without exception."

"There is no reason for you to ever live less than the radiant, abundant lives that you have come forth to live. But you've got to make the decision that you are going to follow the path of least resistance, or the path of most allowance."

Abraham-Hicks

Back again - Ready to go to the next level......

2008-11-22T21:31:00.007-05:00

Wow - my little unconditional happiness blog has been on hiatus much longer than I anticipated. Over 16 months since I added a new post. Amazingly, people are still visiting every day.

So, where have I been and why am I back? When I started Unconditional Happiness, I was a widowed single Mom, trying to improve my life, especially my inner life. It worked wonderfully and my life is so different now than it was when I started this blog.

I look back and see that by focusing on unconditional happiness I made all of my dreams come true. I was widowed a few days after my 46th birthday, but my late husband had suffered a stroke 5 years before that and was severely disabled, so I actually lost my husband long before he passed away.

After he died, I thought a lot about what type of relationship I would like to have. I made lists of the type of mate I wanted and the type of relationship I wanted to have. I was crystal clear about what I wanted. Within one moth of deciding that I was ready for a new relationship, THE man of my dreams came into my life. It was love at first sight for both of us. It was like we both instantly recognized that "this is THE ONE". We got married within 6 months and have just recently celebrated our first wedding anniversary. I call him "my perfect man", because he is everything on my list and more, so much more. I tell people it was like I ordered him from a catalog and he showed up as my perfect mate.

Do I believe that I manifested this wonderful relationship? I know I did. It worked for me because I was crystal clear about what I wanted and I really had no resistance to allowing it to enter my life. Our first year has been wonderful and I know it will just get better and better.

Less than two months after we got married, I was thinking one Sunday morning about how badly I wanted for us to buy our own home. We were renting a very nice house, but I wanted to buy a house, that was very important to me. I was sitting outside alone and prayed for the "fastest, easiest way" to buy a house. THAT SAME EVENING our landlord called and said she needed to move back into the house and gave us two months to move out. We ended up buying our beautiful dream house, we got it at a wonderful price and everything just went so easy.

With my dream man and my dream house, that left one dream. The dream of self-employment. I am a Registered Nurse and had a wonderful job, but all I ever wanted to do was to work for myself from home, doing my own thing. About 2 1/2 years ago I started building websites to work towards this goal. I had set a financial target to be able to leave the job and work from home. I ended up leaving the job last month, although I hadn't met my financial targets.

So that is why I am here tonight. I am living my dream life, with my dream man, my dream home and my dream job, but I am allowing myself thoughts way too often that are not going to get me where I want to go. I know from years and years of experience that by concentrating on unconditional happiness, or feeling good, or positive thinking, that I can easily and effortlessly go where I want to go at lightening speed. I also know that is where I want to go now and I want to make it a priority. So what better way to focus on this area of my life again to come back here and focus on "good thinking" and deliberate creation?

One thing that happened as my dreams were coming true that I didn't think would happen to me is that I got "caught up". You know, caught up in the stress, the crap, the less than happy thoughts, stress, etc. I am ready to free myself from getting caught up!!

My dreams have come true. The "Big 3" that I had for so long are here - I am living them! I am so appreciative for that. Now I am ready to go to the next level. I need some new dreams and I intent to recommit to focus on my connection and how I feel. I am making a re-commitment to Unconditional Happiness, because I know IT IS the answer to making my dreams come true!!

What about you? What dreams can the joy of unconditional happiness deliver to your door step? (Mine was dressed up as a tall handsome dreamboat who thinks I am the most wonderful woman to ever walk on the planet.) I guess the bottom line is that I know it is time to turn back inside and allow the spiritual growth that will take me to the next level easily and effortlessly, always remembering the wise words of Abraham "nothing is more important than how I feel". And now that I have written this I FEEL WONDERFUL. Thanks for listening! I'll be back soon.

Your Life Reflects What You Are

Everything Affecting You is Vibrational

2007-07-18T20:40:00.000-04:00

Just love everybody that interacts with you no matter how personally or how peripherally involved with you they are. The efficiency of the people who deal with you... everything is orchestrated by the manager called Law of Attraction. And your vibration is setting all of it into motion. Everything affecting you is a reflection of the vibration that you are emitting. Spend more time focused upon your dream than upon the reality. The reality gives birth to the dream -- but the dream is where you are wanting to put your attention.

Just Say Yes!

2007-07-03T20:35:00.000-04:00

"Say yes to whatever it is. Because if you say yes to it and then you get in the middle of it, and you say, "Uh oh, this isn't really turning out the way I wanted it to," then out of that is born another desire.

And as you say yes to that, then it turns out. And you say, "Well, it's still not quite right." So you have another desire... Until eventually you get it exactly right.

You cannot get it wrong. No creation is ever complete. Just do it."

You Are Who You Choose To Be

2007-06-25T21:27:00.000-04:00

"Nothing can happen- I say to you, nothing can occur- in your life which is not a precisely perfect opportunity for you to heal something, create something, or experience something that you wish to heal, create, or experience in order to be Who You Really Are.

Whatever aspect of Divinity you wish to be- that's Who You Are. That can change at any given moment. Indeed, it often does, from moment to moment. Yet if you want your life to settle down, to stop bringing you such a wide variety of experiences, there's a way to do that. Simply stop changing your mind so often about Who You Are, and Who You Choose to Be."

Love IS the Best Medicine

2007-06-15T21:23:00.000-04:00

"Many studies show that giving or receiving love causes biological changes in the body. For example, if you are watching a program showing Mother Teresa's interaction with children who have leprosy, and the way she hugs and kisses them, just watching that program will increase the production of certain substances in your system that fight cancer and infection. Simply observing Mother Teresa's loving behavior is healing; that's a biological fact. When women who have breast cancer meet together to support and care for one another, their condition usually improves. Studies of children with hormonal disorders have shown that if you love them and touch them, if you offer them emotional support in a nourishing environment, they get better. That's how love heals. I believe that love not only heals, it actually renews your physiology, and slows down the aging process. We have found that for men who believe
they are loved by their wives there is a huge difference in coronary cases. A sense of security comes from feeling loved which is profoundly beneficial to a person's health and well-being."

Seth on Creating Reality

It is Impossible to "Exclude"

2007-06-02T21:16:00.000-04:00

It's that habit of saying "no" that trips more of you up than all other things put together.

It's that looking around your physical contrast and seeing some things wanted and saying "yes" but seeing some things not wanted and saying "no".

Every time you say "no", every time you get into that resistant stance,every time you think, "Oh, I really do not want this" or "I hope that doesn't come to me" -- by your attention to it, you are inviting it.

You are including it.

You are lowering your vibration.
You are separating yourself from your Core.

You are drowning your cork.

You are not in vibrational harmony with who you are.
And most of all -- you don't feel good.

It would be a very short and effective seminar if we said to you,

"The secret of creating anything that you want is get happy and stay there, because in your joy, you are always in the place of allowing that which is in vibrational harmony with who you are and what you are wanting."

One Life - Two Journeys

2007-05-27T14:10:00.000-04:00

"You are simultaneously on two journeys. One is a horizontal journey represented by the story line of your life: life events, encounters, experiences, relationships, and outcomes. The other is a vertical journey represented by what is going on inside you: joy, sorrow, peace, frustration, numbness or aliveness. While most people believe and act as if the horizontal journey is their purpose in living, in truth we are here for the vertical journey. Behind all of your worldly exploits, you are a spiritual being here to unfold to your highest personal reward and expression. If you get hung up on the outer journey but do not recognize the inner one, you will be lost and confused in a big game of Chutes and Ladders that has no meaning or direction. If you check in with your inner self often and make course corrections in the direction of authenticity and joy, you will stay on track and your life will have meaning, purpose, and reward."

Alan Cohen

TRUST and BELIEVE in the Laws of the Universe

2007-05-22T14:38:00.000-04:00

All you must do is TRUST and BELIEVE in the Laws
of the Universe, utilize your own guidance system
to bring yourself incrementally, consistently and
eventually into vibrational alignment with the
things you are asking for.

And as you do that, those who watch you will stand
in amazement! They will begin to notice that you are
someone who launches an idea softly and stands in eager
anticipation of it, exclaiming as circumstances and
events give you constant evidence.

And they will also begin to recognize you as those who
are not one bit impatient about what has not yet come.
Because there is so much is consistently coming that
your plate is always full!

They will begin to notice you as those who are satified
where you are and eager for more. They will notice you
as those who are exploring contrast just like everyone
else. And launching desires, just like everyone else.

But deliberately trying to see the best of where you
stand, playing the positive what if game, looking for
reasons to feel good, trying your best to feel as good
as you can feel right where you stand.

Because you have discovered long ago that when you make
the worst of it, you move in the opposite direction of
what you are wanting. And when you make the best of it,
you move in the direction of where you are wanting.

Health Starts in the MIND

2007-05-22T14:35:00.000-04:00

Guest: (A veterinarian who is now beginning to work with people) .. I have a tremendous fascination with structure and the biology aspect of it and have started to get invitations to speak to groups and I'm wondering how the biology and the spirituality connect - and the kinds of statements I can make to build these bridges.

Abraham: All of the biology - every bit of it - is following the vibration of the mind. Every bit of it, EVERY bit of it.

So the wellness that is being allowed, or the wellness that is being denied, is all about the mind set, the mood, the attitude, the practiced thoughts. There is not one exception in any human or beast that you'll ever discover. It's ALL that. Treating the body really is about treating the mind. Because you have discovered you can patch them up again and again and they will just find another way of reverting back to the natural rhythm of their mind, you see.

It's all psychosomatic - every bit of it - no exceptions.

Nothing is More Important than How I Feel NOW

2007-05-19T22:57:00.000-04:00

"Make up your mind that nothing is more important than how I feel now, because now is everything. Now is the whole enchilada. Now is the power of me. Now, now, now, now, now… You might as well start somewhere, and it might as well be now. Why not start improving your life now, now, now?"

Seth on the Power of Imagination and Emotions

2007-05-19T22:52:00.000-04:00

Imagination and emotions are the most concentrated forms of energy that you possess as physical creatures. Any strong emotion carries within it far more energy than, say, that required to send a rocket to the moon. Emotions, instead of propelling a physical rocket, for example, send thoughts from this interior reality through the barrier between nonphysical and physical into the objective world -- no small feat, and one that is constantly repeated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
To act in an independent manner, you must begin to initiate action that you want to occur physically by creating it in your own being. This is done by combining belief, emotion and imagination, and forming them into a mental picture of the desired physical result.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
The path of experience is nowhere settled. There is no one road that does not have avenues to another. There are deep veins of probable actions ever available to you at any given time. Your imagination can be of great value, allowing you to open yourself to such courses; you can then use it to help you bring these into being.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because you now distrust the imagination so, you do not understand the great clues it gives you, both in terms of problem solving and of creative expression. Many quite valid reincarnational memories come as imaginings, but you do not trust them. A good percentage of your problems can be worked out rather easily through the use of your imagination.

The Law of Attraction, Dating and "Near-Misses"

2007-05-19T09:52:00.000-04:00

I have been reading this Abraham quote a lot lately:

"You don't have to be pure and perfect to begin to be the recipient of avalanches of evidence of well being. In other words, you just have to tip the scale a little bit in order for you to begin to receive the evidence of it.
As you begin to tip the scale, you'll have some, what you will later call, "near-misses": Someone who initially looks pretty good will come in. And by closer scrutiny or exploration, you'll discover, "This isn't quite right," and you'll say, "Oh, Universe! You have foiled me again! (laughter) You have brought to me someone less than I want!"
And we say, Oh! It is just a near-miss! It is evidence that you're getting closer and closer. Don't you notice all of these things that were nearly right? And didn't the parts that weren't right help you to clarify more clearly what it is that you are wanting? And aren't you now sending off clearer signals about what you do want?
And as you're reaching for thoughts that feel good, are you not aligning to these yet clearer signals about what you are wanting? And is your future not brighter? Is it not more assured of satisfying you when it comes? And aren't you willing to sort of cool your jets and relax a little bit, and wait for the perfect timing of the unfolding of this?" -- Abraham-Hicks

I have been widowed for 18 months now and all during that time I have known that at some point I would want to have another relationship. My intention is and has always been "the right relationship with the right person at the right time".

Recently I have just known that it is time to start moving forward with my life. In so many ways, I feel like I have been reborn. I have a renewed zest for live and am so eager to get out in the world and have some fun. One of the things I have been doing is meeting people on an online dating site.

I have met some wonderful people who I know almost from the beginning are "not the one", but they are wonderful people. I have come to realize that every of them comes with a gift. Something I need to learn or know or ponder. Each one is more than a "near miss" it is a way to further clarify exactly what I want and I am grateful to have such an awesome and fun opportunity to "fine tune".

The Only Thing You Have Any Power About

2007-05-19T08:49:00.000-04:00

"See this world as a free world, and see everyone in it as trying - through their individual experiences - to find their way back to that calling, back to that Source Energy. And even though there are billions of them going about it in a way that is different than you would choose, there's no right or wrong way. In other words, bless them all, and get on with the only thing you have any power about, which is opening or closing your vortex to your natural state of Well-Being."

Abraham-Hicks

You are what THINK, not what you eat!

2007-05-18T11:40:00.000-04:00

"You are what THINK, not what you eat- and to a large extent what you THINK about what you eat is far more important.

What you think about your body, health, and illness will determine how your food is used, and how your chemistry handles fats, for instance, or carbohydrates. Your attitudes in preparing meals are highly important.

Physically, it is true, but again generally speaking, that your body needs certain nourishments. But within that pattern there is great leeway, and the organism itself has the amazing capacity to make use of substitutes and alternates. The best diet in the world, by ANYONE'S standards, will not keep you healthy if you have a belief in illness."

- Seth, through Jane Roberts, from The Nature of Personal Reality

Nothing is More Important than Feeling Good

I Trust Myself & I Trust Life

2007-05-17T13:51:00.000-04:00

I trust that Life will provide me with everything I need and want.

I know that I was born a beautiful and trusting soul. If things get difficult, I turn within and anchor my thoughts in truth and love. I ask for guidance from the Universe, and I make my way safely through stormy seas and calm, blissful weather. My job is to stay in the present moment and to choose clear, simple, positive thoughts and words. I trust the process of Life in all its mysterious and wondrous ways.

I trust myself, and I trust Life.

The Importance of Who You Are

2007-05-12T10:31:00.000-04:00

Begin saying, "I now understand that all things are possible. And while I, just like electricity or just like the workings of my engine, or whatever, I don't have to understand the intricacies of how it works, I know that it works. I know that anything that I am wanting to know, all manner of infinite intelligence is mine to be had. All I have to do is relax and trust that it is there."

All-That-Is works for your well-being and to answer anything that you want to know.

You are the center of your vibrational universe. And we could not begin to describe to you the resources that are at your disposal. We think that you do not understand the importance of who you are and the value that this leading edge personality in focus has to All-That-Is, you see.

Sometimes you treat yourselves like you are just unworthy humans here mucking your way through the mire in order to prove some sort of worthiness to someone else and we say it is so far different from that. You are Source Energy focused. You are important to All-That-Is. Everything is at your disposal. Nothing should be inconceivable to you.

Things that before now could not happen to you .... begin happening

2007-05-12T10:27:00.000-04:00

When you talk about what you want and why you want it, there is initially less resistance within you than when you pose questions that you do not have answer for, like how, where, when, and who. It sets up a contradictory vibration within you that slows everything down....

Words like faith and trust are so annoying on some levels, but we want to explain their value, because even though you do not know how or where or when or who, if you know what, and you have talked about why you want it and you have practiced the thought of it until it is starting to feel very familiar to you, what begins to happen is that things that before now could not happen to you .... begin happening. Ideas that would not even occur to you, before, now begin to occur to you, and interactions with people that you do not have access to now .... begin to happen.
