Mercury In Retrograde

March 9, 2013 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

Hmmmmm. I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I’m not sure that what you heard is what I actually meant! This statement is a perfect example of what happens when Mercury, the planet that rules communication, is in retrograde. Some of you who are familiar with Mercury Retrograde may be saying what in the world is going on. What’s happening to me? But Mercury Retrograde just might be your blessing in disguise.

You may ask: What does it have to do with me? How does Mercury in Retrograde play any role and have any impact in my life?

There are ways you can work to your advantage when Mercury is Retrograde. I would like to give you some inside information that I use; and suggestions on how to do the best with what you have; when life does the unexpected, and at what you might consider really bad timing.

Is there any extra confusion going on lately? Any mishaps, car problems, mis-understandings, communication fumbles, appointment changes, travel delays, mix ups, or breakdowns with anything?

If the above statement sounds familiar it’s doubled when the planet Mercury; which rules communication appears to be slowing down its orbit. This is referred to as Mercury Retrograde. 3-4 times a year is the usual visit of Mercury Retrograde, which lingers for approximately 3 weeks at a time when this occurs.

Here are the dates of Mercury Retrograde in 2013:

February 23, 3013 – March 17, 2013

June 26, 2013 – July 19, 2013

October 21, 2013 – November 10, 2013

Mercury retrograde periods can really be exhausting. Everything can wear us out. Chores that should take minutes take hours instead. Missed appointments and deadline changes occur. Communications that should be easy turn into convoluted exercises in phone tag, misunderstandings, and hard feelings. Ordinary everyday travel gets tangled up in delays, missed, travel plans, confusion, directions get mixed up, traffic jams, car problems and/or accidents occur, and computer or other technology devices have unexpected glitches or crashes. Even if you are on target you still are dealing with people that may not have this insight, and from that perspective things can also affect you and go wrong or sideways. We all have the timing of Mercury to contend with.

Since each Mercury retrograde period lasts about three weeks, the extra effort involved can take an enormous toll. It’s easy to feel drained, tired, stressed out, and completely fatigued mentally, emotionally, and physically when you are unaware of what is upon you. If you aren’t careful, you can get sick, or even worse, you can become accident-prone and suffer debilitating injuries. Car accidents occur more during these times. Mercury rules cars and all technology. Mercury Retrograde can amount to what feels like “Frustration City”

But even if you don’t suffer physically, you may still confront a major problem–and you just don’t have the energy you need to get everything accomplished. You may not even feel as though you have the will to try.

Vince Lombardi said: “Fatigue makes cowards of us all.”

For the reasons stated this is why it’s so important to have a proactive strategy of re-energizing whenever Mercury is retrograde.

You can do all the things that help you keep your energy and attentiveness high–giving yourself time for recreational activities that reduce your stress levels. It’s a time to have more fun. You can put together a better eating and exercise plan, and it’s a good time to work on reducing weight. It’s a good policy to make sure that your schedule includes time for power naps and meditation, and taking a break whenever the circumstances get too overwhelming.

This is especially vital if we’re involved in managing a business, if your livelihood depends on making clear and resourceful decisions of any variety. We can consider a re-energizing strategy ahead of time. Check and re-check during Mercury Retrograde.

So what is Mercury Retrograde good for; when it feels like that uninvited, unwanted, house guest that stays for 3 weeks or more at a time?

Does Mercury Retrograde come with any benefits? Does it bestow on you any gifts when it visits you 3-4 times a year? You may feel lucky in 2013; you will only have Mercury Retrograde visit 3 times.

You can take extra steps to build up your energy reserves if you know when this timing of Retrograde Mercury is approaching, and ‘decide to be and feel more in peace’ when Mercury reverses its direction.

It’s going to happen so you might as well laugh and know not to take it personally, because you can’t control everyone or everything around you. Most people don’t even know there are such events called Mercury Retrograde. They may not care, or comment so what, but be sure it affects us all on some level whether we acknowledge it or not; while we are still attached to this material world.

For me watching events take place over the course of more than 20 years as an astrologer, I’ve developed a good sense of humor. As I see things mis-fire, mis-align, disconnect or change my life; I actually smile and more than not laugh, and say, “this is Mercury Retrograde doing its thing”. I don’t take it all on me too personally. I become more objective and fix what I can. With the rest of the jumble; I include my guidance system to work with me on a deeper level for me to make the best decisions possible.

You can get some extra rest, make sure you are physically taking care of yourself. You can make that health care professional appointment you have been putting off. You can organize your schedules to accommodate delays that you’re likely to encounter. You can allow yourself to not feel so deflated or upset when plans go astray. ‘I always sit quietly and get to a place within me that feels calm, and be still, and enjoy myself as much as I can. And I acknowledge and become more aware of what is going on around me with the people I am interacting with. I attempt to be really clear on what I say to anyone, (as long as they give me time to finish what I have to say). And if I feel it necessary; I ask them to repeat it so I get the conversation straight with them. Or I’ll say, “let me repeat what you have just told me so I know I’ve got it right.” Mercury retrograde is a great time to do any type of research. It’s meant to be an internal processing time for everyone (that’s why meditating or any internal personal work or therapy is so good during these times) so that when Mercury moves forward you’ll have your plans put together in a better order that will serve you. A new and better direction may come out of it. I know that I can just take things so far and then I have to wait. Mercury Retrograde does have that flavor of a lesson in patience’.

When you use your astrological knowledge intelligently in this way, you can avoid feeling a victim of Mercury Retrograde. One the positive side, it is a time when you can complete something that you have not been able to finish up before. Or a long awaited event finally comes to fruition. Or all the pieces to a puzzling situation are uncovered.

Instead, you can use Mercury retrograde periods to get more accomplished than you ever imagined possible when you move in the positive direction that Mercury is leading you towards. So it is good advice to go with the flow of what it is teaching you, and how it is mentoring you.

It is a time of introspection so that you can evaluate and reason if the plans you have made are really on track for you. As you rush around in your very busy life you can get use to being in the motion of doing things without really knowing why you are doing them. You can get caught up in the frenzy of too much energy in motion, and often it can become misdirected.

You may not be thinking correctly, so the planet that rules your thinking, “Mercury” governs what you are thinking on any matter; and therefore the actions that come from these thoughts may easily get you into a mess. So Mercury Retrograde comes to your rescue to help you think more consciously and clearly.

Mercury Retrograde will help you to see if these five (5) key steps to transformation are on track for you:

A decision. You “command” transformation by choosing it. Your conscious intent to go in a new direction redirects your life flow and aims you where you want to go. It all begins here.
A plan. You can direct the energy of circumstances when you are prepared for them, and deflect your stress. Having information on what to do, how and when, will guide you down the path to transformation.
A vision. A clear picture of the end result you want will help you attract it into your life. A great way to accelerate that transformation is to step into the end vision and live from it right now, today.
A why. The more reasons you have for wanting transformation, the better and faster will be the results.
A support team. When someone believes in you, odds are you will boost your own opinion of yourself. When you are in a group of people who want your transformation as much if not more than you do, you will go in the direction of speedy transformation.

Mercury Retrograde is like a support team for you. It holds you in place before it goes in its direct motion, to see if the plans you are making are on target for your success in all areas of your life. If some of the plans don’t feel right; this is a great time to adjust your thinking or doing in such a fashion so that your plans really become an asset to you.

From my own life happenings; my plans were altered as I planned to get this blog out to you when Mercury Retrograde had begun. I didn’t consciously understand my delay. Now while looking back on it; I see that Mercury really did give me first hand experiences of my own to share with you and make this a more insightful blog of my own journey. When Mercury is retrograde, it’s not unusual to see our best-laid plans come to a screeching halt.

Whatever you happen to have on the agenda, it suddenly needs to be set aside so we can tend to other more pressing matters.

This happened to me when Mercury first went into Retrograde. I had to deal with an unexpected car repair in addition to, anti-virus software that got stuck in a loop, a family members misunderstanding, (and I chose not to be a part of their drama, and let the situation chill for while, and I know it will work out). I also experienced project delays. I had to get a refund on a large purchase I made for my business (I made this purchase, the week prior to Mercury going Retrograde). I realized in going over this program, and having the good fortune of a chance conversation with someone about this program I was going to purchase, that the program was not going to benefit me for what I really wanted to accomplish. I was able to get a refund right away. That was a blessing. (If I didn’t know any better I could have really gotten down on myself).

Instead I called upon gratitude, humbleness, and Grace to see me through. What I’ve been doing is healing work on myself and others each day. I go into prayer and meditate, and ask guidance, what is my next best way to proceed? Sometimes my answers are to just stay calm, peaceful, and hold off for awhile longer.

Can I say the problems I’ve encountered have been all cleared up since the beginning of this Mercury Retrograde period? No….but Mercury Retrograde isn’t finished yet, and what I have been doing is looking for solutions, and I’m certainly getting more information on what needs to be done, and it is redirecting me to look into different areas where I did not think I would have wanted previously before this Retrograde.

I’m being open and aware to circumstances around me, and using my insight, intuition to follow me through to my next steps. Hey, it’s a journey. Might as well be up for an adventure while Mercury Retrograde is visiting. The one thing I’m not doing is getting upset or losing my center. I also make the decision as I’m moving ahead that I allow the Universe/God to be my partner along my path. I let go and let God be the best part of this redirecting time through me. You may like to try this as well. Only one thing…know that you can’t push the river. Be alert to clues as how you are to proceed and let the Universe/God steer you with your intuitive hunches that make you feel inspired as you move ahead. That’s partnership!

Have the feeling/knowing that you are getting the correct information for you at this time. Trust Yourself/Trust the Universe/God. (After all the planet Mercury is part of the Universe). Use your energy in positive ways: to sense, or feel, see, hear, or know, in whatever way you get your hunches, which is your intuitive FYI; that you are open and receptive to better help and support to get you not only through it, but also past any difficulties you are encountering.

Many times what comes out of Mercury Retrogrades is what you never expected. Are you an adventurer? ‘I believe we all are’. Even if you say no to this question, I bet you have been an adventurer at some point in your life, in some way, because living on planet earth does require it.

Mercury Retrograde is asking you to be your essential real self when it comes around. Go back to what is really important and real for you. You can get great realizations on all levels of your life to move you forward in a better more solid direction, by the time Mercury Retrograde is completed. You can go through this timing and reap its benefits and come out with a much brighter GREEN LIGHT to go forward with any plans.

You get to see what was missing. You get to find new information you didn’t have prior to this visit of Mercury Retrograde. You can direct your course of action better, because you find out that you didn’t have everything in proper order or perspective to begin with; and now your much better prepared to get better results. You may fine tune your proposals, something new that you haven’t seen or known prior to this timing. And now it may become available to you. This missing piece makes itself more clear to you, and you fill in that part. It’s a time to meditate.

Mercury Retrograde was built into the system of your life so you would have checks and balances for your plans and re-direct yourself in more positive ways.

When you keep goin’ and goin’ you just don’t stop to look at what you are doing. So Mercury Retrograde pulls you inward to take a look at yourself and what you are doing. It’s really a blessing in disguise. Yes, it does entail work, but isn’t that what you do each day? You might as well do it more to your advantage and more efficiently to your benefit.

So when Mercury Retrograde comes around it appears to put on the brakes and screw everything up. Since Mercury rules the mind your thinking may be off track; so when it comes around it gives you that jolt, or it gives a jolt to someone else in your life around you that can bring havoc into your life. View it as: Is there a lesson in here for me? Be open with yourself and ask what really counts here? What really matters?

Sometimes Retrograde Mercury shows up as this is just what is! And then just accept what is. And now is really the time to face it. There may be nothing to fix, only something to experience that may enhance your spiritual growth and understanding. You may want to fix everything but you can’t make it perfect for someone else.

Mercury rules the mind, so you may be asked to change long held ideas and/or beliefs that no longer serve you, maybe a thought, a condition, or a habit which will change your destiny. You have to be willing to do that, because (Mercury doesn’t give up). Three 3-4 times a year it keeps coming back. Did you ever have your mind give up??? Through mind/ego you can get stuck. Is it necessary to control everything to work out just as you feel it has to be to feel comfortable or safe? Could your life or the situation get any better? Could you let go and find out? Since Mercury governs all forms of communication you may have to be more tolerant with yourself, other people, and your plans, and also to be ready to fix what isn’t working.

The maintenance of chores associated with these events can chew up most of what you had originally planned. It can be an inconvenient nuisance to say the least, but it does give you an occasion to think about one of the practical strategies for dealing with Mercury Retrograde periods. I had to revise my priority list and spend a little time reviewing my goals and plans. In other words, Mercury Retrograde pushed me into taking time to Refocus and Regroup.

Applying this strategy is a fairly straightforward process. But the way you get there may take some twists and turns you weren’t expecting. Changes done from the perspective of guidance and inner focus can get you the bull’s eye on target. You’ll be happier and life will work out smoother.

Her are some questions you can ask yourself:

Are your plans congruent with what you want to accomplish in the long run? If not, what changes do you need to make?
What are you willing to do to get the results you really want?
What can you do to make the process easier, more effective, and more enjoyable?
For that matter, what about your long-range goals themselves?
If you have created goals in the past, are they still appropriate? Do they still represent what you really want to accomplish?

The power of inner focus can move mountains, taking us to levels of achievement that you may never have dreamed possible. But if you are focusing on the wrong thing, or if you are heading in the wrong direction, it’s critically important to refocus, regroup, and change your course.

The Bach flower Remedies at anytime, and especially during Mercury Retrograde go hand in hand very well. I find these Flower Essences to be very helpful in this regard. They are made from flowers of a very high order. I use them with my private clients. And as a Bach Flower Registered Practitioner with the Bach Foundation; I can say I’ve always seen them perform outstandingly. Here are only a few of their uses: They help with anxiety, unknown fears, and feeling discouraged. They are wonderful and very helpful for focusing and re-directing old habit patterns that are difficult to re-train. They help you to concentrate and not feel scattered. They are a great aide while going through all types of life transitions. And its a great help when you feel overwhelmed. These personalized remedy combinations are fabulous in keeping a person on track and calm at the same time. (There is a Bach Flower Remedy for every emotion). They are 100% safe and effective and can be purchased over the counter. They have been used for over 70 years. They can be used in conjunction with all other medications safely. They do not have any drug interactions and are not habit forming. They are amazing! You may want to consider having a formula made for yourself? Mercury retrograde periods are the perfect time for doing that! I use them for myself as well. It’s like having a counselor with you 24/7 helping to assist your emotions as you go through periods of change. They help you do this with added awareness, much less stress, and they give you the ability to change what is required.

It’s much better to plan proactively whenever Mercury goes retrograde. In doing so you will be taking steps ahead of time to get the best results with the least amount of stress. But if you don’t do that, as I was reminded when Mercury Retrograde began, Mercury’s job will definitely make itself known on your adventure in life to keep you on track. How you respond is up to you.

And finally, I was able to get this blog out to you!! I’d love to hear your comments, and your interests. Keep in touch fellow adventurer. Visit me at: www.LindaCrane.com

Coincidences

February 1, 2013 by Linda Crane 3 Comments

Since you are reading this material then the time has come to make great progress in 2013. From a metaphysical/spiritual point of view (metaphysical meaning beyond the physical) there are no coincidences. Life has its up and downs, but with a continued dry spell, so to speak, in the happiness department, this can really put a strain, and drag down your immune system as well as your finances. And just for thought…Did you know that your mind is always ease dropping on your immune system? Looking at our bodies from that perspective this implies that our thoughts are powerful and play a significant role in you staying healthy.

It’s in your range of influence to stop settling for those anxious, depressive, circular behaviors bringing you more of the same experiences. Anyone can affect changes in their lives. At times it might look like things are changing but you find that you come up with similar situations. The only difference is these experiences show up in a different package: (different people, different scenarios, but they still continue to produce much of the same results). You know, those familiar, unchanging, underlying, problems that recur again time after time. Even if you’re a Billionaire these problems can still be affecting you as well as others in your family line. These problems have no boundaries whether you are super rich, impoverished, healthy, or sickly, and they don’t have any preferences as to color, race, creed, political affiliations or interests, nor any respect for your level of intelligence.

Science, and books like Epigenetics, and Biology of Belief, in my opinion, are proving how energy and the cells of the body cooperate. I would say, this shows up as a spiritual understanding on the cellular levels. Science is showing that your past history does not have to result in your present and future history any longer. I’d say from my years of study, research, and work in the areas of holistic health, healing, counseling, and spirituality/metaphysical practices; that science is showing in its own ways how the holistic approach, energy, beliefs, spirituality, and the Divine Creator work together.

You may be wondering how quickly you will see results when you decide to advance your life forward by doing the 7-step process in Breaking the Family Curse, DVD. The steps are planned out for you for working with this scientific information. It also gives you insights, and tools to dissolve and eliminate the unspeakable, unthinkable problems related to curses; (those masks of deception with their unhealthy, unresolved, lingering, negativity). This product was created to be a safe, self-help, guided cleaning and clearing tool; which assists you to discover, create, and increase your blessings. This will release the flow of your good, abundance and happiness back into your life.

The “way” to experience results is to make a commitment to yourself to intentionally, consistently release your suppressed energy. While here on planet Earth you might as well uncover and reap your blessings. Breaking the Family Curse, DVD, is an energetic process for clearing and well being. It gives you the tools to start setting your road on track again. It encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual tools from my over 20 years of research and expertise in health and healing; that will bring you to a new level of happiness in your life for you and your family. Through working with clients and experiences, I’ve discovered that there are some simple, straightforward rules and techniques you can use to stay on track for transformation and renewal.

The short answer to the question on getting results with this process is; it can happen rather quickly yet it depends on your willingness to give it your input. Although I am an ordained minister; it is not necessary or required to have a priest, guru, or spiritual leader bliss you out in order for you to be effective in releasing yourself of these curse issues. For an analogy: It is the stored data held within your “internal computer bank” called “your mind” that has the problems. When charged in a certain way the mind/ego tends to run us at the subconscious level.

I’d like to tell you something, if you haven’t heard this for a while, that you are very important. So important, that as soon as you take the first steps forward with this 7 step process, the Universe/God, will rush to meet your needs and wishes. You have free will to do something, or not to do it, so it’s left to you to decide. The best way to get results fast is to do all the steps each day and calmly intend that you are resolving the problems from the past. These curses have been around in some cases, for generations, and for many people these strongholds reach far back into their ancestral history. Scientific research now shows that we do not have to have the negative genetic patterns follow us from one generation to the next any longer.

You can have a better life pattern take hold from the ruins of your past history! Self destructive and abusive behaviors are only part of a list of plaguing problems. Money problems, land ownership issues, business, and corporation problems, legal matters, alcohol and drug abuse, addictions, jealousy, family violence, health issues, just to name a few, no longer have to continue, to be part of your present and future history. Since that’s the way it’s been, it may seem hard to change it. But clearing these problems is on the increase every day. The door has been unlocked and the way has been opened for you to change your course of actions and begin on an improved, positive life path.

We live in time and space, so give yourself some space… and it’s about time for you to give yourself blessings, with no blame or impatience required. The less you feel impatient and have certainty about the betterment now coming into your life from applying the 7 step program in Breaking the Family Curse DVD, the faster it goes. The faster you will feel recharged and restored. Because every person is different and is starting from a unique place, the results will vary. And that’s because the mind is very powerful and one of its jobs is to keep you safe. That’s why you second guess yourself when it comes to doing something completely new or different. It doesn’t want you to dismantle the old programs you have fed it for years.

The mind likes the familiar old ways of expressing through you to keep you under its control. Yes, the mind/ego does move us much of the time in certain directions that are not helpful to a great degree. My DVD is not about mind talking your self out of anything. That’s not key to opening the door to a new start. Yet the mind has to succumb to your new ways; because you are in charge of directing your life, and you are the boss! To get your mind to change the old programs of blame, guilt, anger and frustration, etc., it’s important to know how to work with your mind in specific loving ways to remove curses.

This curse removal program only asks for your “attention” on the process, as well as, your “intention” to follow along by doing all the steps and do your part. Breaking The Family Curse DVD is an “easy and safe” program that works when taken seriously. Being gentle, and loving, with yourself as you go along step by step with me on this guided DVD; will assist you to let go of your worn out, old ways…and enjoy a new start for accomplishing your life goals.

Change can come to anyone for better or worse. Without beating yourself up for what has occurred, know that you are the creator of your life. Which way will you consciously choose? Your subconscious holds the old patterns playing havoc with your life. The 7-step process in Breaking The Family Curse DVD will assist you in clearing out these curses without having to dig into hypnosis or therapy. If you know how the problems came about-fine. If you don’t know, where the problem stemmed from, and their seems no way of finding out?? “take heart”. It is not essential that you have to find out what or who caused the problems in your life. Many times just through doing this 7 step process more becomes evident and unraveled. And you know those “Cursed How’s”…(how did this happen, how did I get this…) you won’t be compelled to dig and search for answers to be able to clear your unproductive past history. This New and Ancient knowledge to clear your problems is a safe, gentle process that will assist you on your journey to a more rewarding life.

How much you will erase depends on you: If you are consistent with the plan of action in the 7 proven steps to Breaking The Family Curse, with a grateful attitude, then Great news! Since you are the creator of your life, (which is a truth, like it or not), it will be an added boost, as you are going through this program to use your physical senses while implementing your desires: Use as many of your senses that are comfortable for you. Seeing, feeling, sensing, and/or just know that your life is being freed of these problems!

Feeling optimistic, (without any pushing, yelling or forcing on your part); what would your life look like if there is no more intrusive stuck energy holding you from your good? If imagining feels good, but is unfamiliar territory for you, then take some time to daydream. Yes, I’m allowing you to daydream in a safe comfortable space of course. This is where you will craft the life you dream of experiencing, and fill your cleared space from doing the 7 step process. Also at my website www.LindaCrane.com, I have a Freee Audio Download available to assist you along. This FREEE RELAXATION PROCESS, for you to enjoy is located at the top right of my website. You will find it beneficial in HELPING YOU TO RELAX, so you can get into the zone for creating your good as you daydream.

When unimpeded, life flows from your intentions for it. By doing this imagining you will be showing your mind what your revised plans are now to take hold, and that this will continue to be true in your life until you change it. As you clear out the places where this junk, sticky, negative, energy came from, God, The Universe, will fill in that space; adding back into your life something blessed from the vacuum space you provide. So it’s best to give God/The Universe the desires you want to experience. That peaceful cleared space is the breeding ground for weaving your dreams…your good.

Growth does not have to develop at a slow crawl pace. This is the 21Century and things are happening quicker all the time. As you decide … your life can show benefits with quickened results. The change that will come into your life is not dependent on who you know. It’s dependent on you, and what you know. Breaking The Family Curse gives you the tools to know how to do what will bring good changes into your life. If you have been uninspired or been put on hold too long then you are ready for this change.

Consider another fact. Think a thought…Sow an act..Sow an act…Reap a habit…Sow the habit…Reap the character…Sow the character…Reap your destiny.

In God’s world everything is consistently energetic, simple, creative and dynamic. Ways of doing things do not have to be difficult for them to be effective and make a difference in your life.

As you work with the process you are able to show your mind your new reality by doing the 7 steps in Breaking The Family Curse, DVD. State to your mind: This is now, and that was then, and this is my new positive creation!!! Then fill in the seeds of your new program. As you feel cleared you will have foresight in approaching your new road ahead. Happy experiences start to come from clearing away these curses (the grime that clouds your energetic mirror preventing you from reflecting outward your beautiful self).

You have the opportunity to clear the slate and get back to a better starting point again. What appears to show up as “Luck” is really the opportunity that you have worked for and it’s now time to receive. People may call you lucky, and you may feel so as well. But you’ll know you had a good part in deliberately making your life happen on purpose. You will move more freely, feeling more comfortable in your own body, less suspicious, trusting yourself more, and be able to clear away any jealous tendencies that may come at the whim of someone else. Then you will consciously move in your own favor, and that’s exciting to begin 2013. This can be your year!

Be firm, and Be loving in your approach with the Breaking The Family Curse process. Tell your mind–and your heart, I now have…(fill in the blank), and I am free, clear and move forward in my life with Abundance and Ease…YES!… It is good! Thank You God! And So It IS!

Generational Curses

August 12, 2012 by Linda Crane 1 Comment

Internal Personal Change Is Necessary To Move And Clean Out Generational Curses. Here are some ways to discover a deeper understanding on the subject of generational curses.

Your ego takes you through all the experiences of worrying, crying, pain, and lack. The ego insures its survival by keeping you trapped through grief, fear, apathy, pride, depression, jealousy, lust and anger. The ego wants to be master and not observe itself. Allow yourself to be the boss of your life, or captain of your own ship, steer your own life and become free. Don’t increase the ego by buying into the trap of continuing the “generational curses”. Anyone in your lineage can clean the curses out and break free from feeling chained or held back from your abundance and well-being.

This starts by stepping up and saying I’m going to remove the ideas of things and situations that have been wrong. Two wrongs won’t make a right. Wrong only perpetuates more of the same. Situations do not change from the same energy that created them. Take off that heavy backpack that has been piled up on top of your shoulders. Lighten your load. It is too costly to continue this cycle on to your children and grandchildren any longer. “The self help assistance I have given here can start the releasing of these burdens”.

There are ways to stop carrying the world and all your frustrations from the past. It’s wise to stop trying to figure out all the details of the generational curse. The mind/ego loves when you do that (it eats it for dinner), because you end up strengthening the ego by doing this. The question “Why?” will not give you the answer. You end up giving the mind/ego more power to keep the negative patterns in your life just the way it has been. The mental viruses continue and get stronger as you keep thinking on it and let it fester even further. You have the ability to get clear of these generational curses.

Become less burdened by opening to the wisdom you are seeking in how to let go. The more you remove these burdens then harmony, peace, and happiness, are known in your experience to be your very nature. Harmony peace and happiness is what you truly are inside you. You do not have to search or look for someone to give you this, because you are that within yourself, only you have been hiding it. Your firelight within is ready to shine when one day you remove the layers hiding your light.

Isn’t it written in the Holy Books that you are the light of the world? You have not acknowledged it. You only recognize the erroneous. Mentally let go of this attachment. Let go of the aversions you hold to letting go of the generational curses. Your aversion/avoidance to something regarding the generation curses will keep life the way it is now.

Everything that happens starts in the mind. Stop reliving your life stories. This would do wonders to start to cleanse your cellular memories. Talk to your self internally and tell your cells you are writing a new story that is positive and abundant. You can’t lie to your cells. Your thoughts ease drop on your emotions all the time. Be honest about what you desire, and do not waiver from thinking on the most positive things even when negativity shows itself to you. Especially at that moment go to your spiritual heart, residing deep within your heart center, and think of abundant loving things there. Go there every day for several minutes, 2 times a day or more if you wish. An unhealthy self-image has to go and when it does, so will begin to go the generational cures.

You may have not known any better but your Self-image plays an important role in your own life success. You must alter your habitual patterns to alter your success; or you will have a deviation from your set goals. Your self-image will continue to perpetuate and keeps your problem in place. You are God’s highest form of creation. You have to develop the courage to decide to change the habitual patterns. You can start this by loving yourself. I am not referring to a narcissistic, I’m so wonderful attitude, look at me type of way, but you truly acknowledging some wonderful good things about yourself, and if you are handsome or beautiful acknowledge that also. I’m sure you can find something or many things about yourself personally that you do well.

A wonderful exercise that brings about great experiences and self appreciation and love to yourself, is to do “the mirror exercise” on a daily basis until you have broken through some barriers about your self. The mirror exercise is simple and very meaningful. After a months time or more of doing this everyday you will have a new self-image emerging.

Look at yourself in a mirror. A hand held mirror is fine if you wish to start this process with looking into your eyes and at your face first. Or stand in front of your home mirror and when you see your self image close up, start to say to yourself: I love you______ and state your name. Repeat I love you_____, or say I love myself, while looking into the mirror. When you pass by a mirror anywhere during your day repeat I love you_____. This is a healing experience. Let your feelings flow. Write down what you learned from the experiences you have from doing this process. Generational curses are not created from self-love. You must add more self-love into your life and heal your life of these intrusions. Appreciation and gratitude will start to emerge and returns to you, and that’s a blessing.

It’s important to realize that we also curse ourselves by our negative thinking, negative talk and attitudes. Love is the answer to heal this dilemma. Develop an unconditional nurturing Christ like love to yourself. This starts with self-acceptance. Acceptance means I accept the way things are now, and I loving accept changing them for the better in a gentle loving manner. Be responsible to the change.

Never beat yourself up. The mind does enough of beating you up with chatter of not being good enough, or yes/but, statements like, this was good, but you could have done better if you would have….. chatter. Eventually you will come to see that everything outside you is a reflection of your own thinking, and the world is the projected image of your thoughts. Begin to see how you react when you see that negative thought. There is an internal cause and effect. When you believe the negative thoughts you will experience that you will have an uneasy feeling, a disturbance that can range from mild discomfort to fear or panic.

Close your eyes and track where you felt it in your body. See how much of your body that thought form takes over. When you sense or feel where that is in your body immediately send love to the thought and to stop what has registered the uncomfortable feeling in your body. You can start to be in charge and in control of your self by saying: I now send unconditional love to this part of my body. Feel, sense, know, or imagine that you are going to send a white/golden light of love to your cells that are holding this negative thought/feeling. Continue this for a few minutes. Without your life stories you are able to act more clearly, fearlessly, and treat your self much kinder. All the changes happen within your-self with generational curses. They lodge inside you and they are to be cleaned out from the inside and released back into pure positive energy.

There is a breathing exercise that I find helpful and enjoyable. This can be done anytime of day or night and virtually anywhere, even while walking, to calm and clear your mind. I have found it to bring into one’s life peace, courage and blessings. You do not have to be in meditation to do this so it’s helpful. Here is the simple yet profound process: As you take a breathe in, say the word “I”, at your normal pace. As you breathe out, exhale as you say the word “AM”. Repeat this over and over. “I AM” is the first name of God. This is a very simple powerful, creative and dynamic exercise. Do this process often and you will have a new dynamic start in your life. You”ll notice that you start quieting down.

The point is not to stop or give up. The mind will get you to stop in subtle ways if you are not alert to what’s occurring. With all the centuries of negativity you have held within for so long from generational curses, the time is available now for you to be ready to release the past; if you acknowledge what is happening, and are willing to see the value in your process of change. Change is the way to solving the impact from generational curses. We all are experiencing change faster than ever before in our history. Use change not as a curse, but as your blessing. Welcome it and invite it in!

Positive Thinking

August 10, 2012 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

At about 4 to 5 years of age, the conscious mind comes in to play. Up to that age we believe what has been told to us, and the subconscious mind is fully operating The child believes you and what you say. Example: There’s a fairy around the corner. The child does not operate from the conscious mind to be able to tell if you are telling the truth or not. These times are when patterns get set.

Suppose at 4-5 years or younger that you were told from an older child around 10 years of age, go away your too young to play with me. The young child could have created from that a belief system that he/she is not good enough. You take it personally because you don’t know any differently. That seed at that moment begins to fester and at that age the child doesn’t look for solutions; because it doesn’t operate from the conscious mind. What occurs is that your subconscious mind, (which is the storehouse of all your data held over lifetimes); will put you in the same situations over and over again to reinforce that you’re not good enough throughout your life, unless you have understanding and closure to that problem.

A lot of people’s minds run because they don’t have answers to their questions, solutions to problems, and closure, so they can’t move on. Once the mind has closure to an issue it moves on. When we are one with the super-conscious mind the right questions come and answers flow easily.

To get rid of a negative emotion all you have to do is raise your energy! It flushes it out when your standing tall and have a smile on your face. When you are full of energy you don’t have any negative thoughts. It’s when you are feeling flat and dull that you have negative thoughts. Let’s think of the face at the moment. When your lips are facing downwards that’s like a switch to the mind telling you to analyze what your seeing in a negative way, to find faults within us. When your lips are straight on your face you are reflecting the situation as an observer. When your lips are in a smiling state you’re looking at the issue in a positive way and that’s the mind/body connection with the lips to the mind. All are interacting within each other. The song “Put on a Happy Face” was so true because in doing so you switch off the past so it doesn’t fester within you. You can’t really be angry when you truly have on a happy face.

The word YES associates with victory. YES, I’ve won.!! I’m on top of the world! Do the following exercise, and give it your full shot. As you say the word “YES” jump up with your hands raised in the air. Then you raise your energy. It’s the action that matters. Ah go on, give it a shot, you have nothing to lose but your stuck energy. If you keep doing this several times it will flush out your negative energy, and you’ll start feeling better. By doing this you are telling the mind I won’t go into the quicksand of negative thoughts.

In other blogs I’ve explained about speaking and thinking on the word WHY, and how it should only be used in a positive way. Why am I (you can fill in the blank)…….is forcing the mind to look for a meaning and the mind then looks for all the negative meanings. The mind will never give you an answer. So you have to change the way you think about the situation. For example: When you ask children, why did you hit Bobby or Jane? They go blank and can’t give you an answer, because of an influx of negative energy and they don’t know how to answer that question.

When you ask yourself a question it must be specific: Example: What is the reason I did this? What is the truth about this? Then your mind can answer you, and then you can find a solution to that problem, and give it closure, and then it won’t come up anymore.

Once you face the truth and take responsibility it’s not hindering you anymore and then you find solutions. You find outcomes and you can improve it. Why is not the question. Who cares why!

What is the reason we strive to “make it” in the world? Look closely… you’ll notice the REAL underlying reason you do anything in your life is to make yourself feel more at one with your true nature, a feeling of being COMPLETE in some way. On some level of your life, and in some aspect of your life, you may feel INCOMPLETE.

Maybe you feel not enough, not good enough, not smart enough, not happy enough. How about not feeling good looking enough. Or maybe not rich enough. Well, guess what? It’s possible for you to feel COMPLETE within yourself (no matter what your perceived shortcomings are). It’s possible because all one has to do is quiet the mind. The mind can run you around all day long. It tells you things from a position of what is not working, and it continues to beat you up for whatever you did or didn’t do as well. The mind is not the good friend you may think it is. What good friend would beat you up all the time? The mind wants to run the show and be always in charge. This way the mind/ego ensures it’s continued existence and keeps one being under it’s control. In other words, not your own boss. Your conscious mind is the director of your life movie. If you don’t like the way you have been living your life; well, whose the boss anyway, you… or your mind? Clearing out the old subconscious tapes will be a blessing, as well as:

When you have a quiet mind — there are no longer any thoughts or feelings of inadequacy.

When you have a quiet mind — you feel at peace within yourself just as you are.

And therefore: When you have a quiet mind — you feel COMPLETE. In other words, the fastest way to feel COMPLETE; (which is this feeling you are unconsciously chasing in everything else you’ve been doing), is to quiet your mind.

When you are in a deep sleep, the delta state of sleep, there is no world, no dreams, just a good deep sleep, and you feel refreshed when you wake up? Well, the mind in that delta state has quieted down, and you rest within your heart center from where all answers come. So when the mind quiets down you can have healing occur and find answers to questions.

What Are Generational Curses?

August 8, 2012 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

There are many applications for working with a holistic approach to health, well-being, and on healing. I’d like to help you uncover some answers concerning; “what are generational curses,” with a beginning understanding of the effects such circumstances have on a person’s life. The affects can be devastating as the harm is infiltrated onto one generation after the other.

Feeling condemned to a life less than what you had planned is not glamorous. Can somebody put a hex or spell on you and have that travel not just to you, but also through and entire family line? Yes, they can! Evidence of this is the Adam & Eve Story, where they ate of the fruit of the tree. Out of that came: all human beings are cursed until they are baptized. Sport team fans for example believed that the Red Sox’s, Chicago Cubs, and legions of people believed that these teams were cursed. Fans desperately wanting their team to win, but they can’t, why, because they’re cursed. Same thing goes for money and wanting to be prosperous. You want more money and you feel you can’t have it. Same thing goes for families with drug and alcohol abuse, sexual abuse, and domestic violence. These are examples of a generational curse or a family curse that travels.

A generational curses start with a negative thought form that is highly energized and directed at a person with the intention of harming them. These are very potent energies that have to be handled with intention. If you really want to break the cycle, and you really want to empower yourself, your life, and break the curse, then it’s time to be aware. Become as conscious as possible about what emotions have been driving you as you start this change. Curses are such primal energies, so powerful even into this present day, and they still have an impact in your daily life. A curse directed and placed on you happens, because of anger, jealousy, greed, emotions of hatred and a great amount of judgments. You energetically absorb the thought form and you begin to fall apart.

It’s your belief that you buy into it, for whatever reason, and (someone did buy into it, way back in your family history, when it comes to generational curses). This can happen consciously or unconsciously, intentionally or unintentionally. The person who received the curse was opened and vulnerable, and they felt that some person or situation had some power or authority over them, as well as believability, and that is what made it happen. Everything we do contains intention with it. Your power of knowing about something happening, receiving the energy and absorbing energy whether you realize it or not, is on various levels of your being. You need to solidify the conscious and unconscious mind together and supersede these curses and make your life the divine play you wish it to be for yourself and family. We all receive energy and it is so much a part of us, that is why energy cannot be forgotten in the 21 Century. You have to deal with it, know it’s there, and know how to work with it, to eliminate those negative energies that you are experiencing. Life is meant to be experienced as joyful and full of abundance.

A curse can come monetarily and can suck you into believing poverty is your lot in life. Some common statements are: I can never make it further than my parents did. Or I can’t make more money, have a better car, or home(s) etc. then my parents did. Or our family can only go so far. You can feel this as an unspoken situation in your family as easily as if someone directly would have told you something. On the other hand you can believe you can do better than your family has before you, be frustrated and struggle, but never get that to happen despite all your efforts.

Teachers are also very powerful and you get to feel what happens in your life and this gets solidified in your cells, and becomes cellular memory. You have to go down to the cellular memory to release the patterns that have been holding you back consciously or unconsciously. You can do this by knowledge and application of some my specific techniques that can start to alleviate the problems.

We all have ancestral history facts and stories, but we don’t have the upfront information that is locked up in the cellular memories. To gain access and connect to those issues; you have to go to the mental/emotional, sticky, uncomfortable, negative energy; that corresponds to these underlying factors. You don’t have to painfully relive what happened in this life to get rid of it. That is the work of connecting to a generational curse. It is necessary to clear these curses or they will continue to repeat from generations of subconscious patterns that still prevails today from Great, Great Grandfathers and/or Grandmothers, down to the children today of the same lineage.

We have taken for granted the way things are now, and have been, by not knowing what we can do about it. The knowledge is available at this time in history, and science is proving that history is not our destiny. Our genes hold remarkable data that can be cleared for your blessings to start to flow. A scientific background is not required, just your responsibility to the issues at hand. Responsibility will bring the power back to you to control your destiny. I would like to note that responsibility does not imply any guilt. It does mean that because you chose to be responsible you are acknowledging that you have decided to start the change. Your ability to clear the problems has always been there, you just had to recognize it.

This clearing method is not a difficult long journey. This energetic process is easier than you may think. Even though I am an Ordained Minister, you don’t need a priest to heal and clear the curse. This was a religious belief of the past that kept this process in the dark. And to some extent, movies like “The Exorcist” kept in our thoughts that a priest is necessary, because the movie was scary and healing the negativity is out of your hands. Actually, the DVD, “Breaking the Family Curse and the CD, “Curses to Blessings,” is a very spiritual, safe and rejuvenating process.

You are valuable. You do deserve the best in life. I have put together, a step by step, 7 Points DVD detailed process, with examples from my own life. There is also available my cleaning CD, with clear instructions to follow along with me, that will assist you in taking definable steps to dissolve problems that YOU can do for yourself, your family, and your children.

In addition, my healing process gives you the information to clear up an event or situation from family members who have passed on, where there was unfinished business. Energy has no boundaries and you can heal with those people, loved ones, and places/locations, where you still feel the desire to complete some situation.

The healing goes exponentially in both directions as it is cleared. It all starts with the work you do with this system for yourself…and from there it is also transmitted to your past, present, and future and to others in your well being/healing journey.

Think the good thoughts they are a lot easier to handle.

What is A Generational Curse?

August 4, 2012 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

Believing in yourself can take you a long way into your own self worth, and confidence in overcoming a generational curse. Traditional religious thinking starts with the premise that you need to continually justify your existence because you are born sinful and unworthy until baptized by a priest…even success in the arenas of life is looked upon with suspicion. How different can this be? In fact this can be very different; because you do not need a priest to bliss you out, clear away your past problems, negative patterns, as well as, a generational curse. Bliss comes from the God of your understanding within your heart. You are worthy because God does reside within that still quiet place deep inside each person you matter what you have done or experienced. You can’t separate yourself from your true nature even if you somehow believe you are not deserving.

Here are some guidelines as to what is a generational curse(s)? These generational strongholds are stored highly charged, toxic, stuck, emotional energies, held in the cellular memories of the holder; that have been set into habit patterns, and have prevailed for centuries in one’s ancestral family line.

Somewhere in the family line someone gave in to a belief consciously or subconsciously that the perpetrator had power and control over their life. The perpetrator so to speak, very likely is, or was, a family member, friend, co- worker, someone in business they know of have known, or someone that was, or is, jealous of the person being sent the curse. The sender of the curse found an energy vortex opening and through (example): jealousy, anger, hatred, fears, blame, guilt, wanting to get even, resentments, resistance to the person’s will, and a whole lot of judgments, these energies attached in the cells of the receiver where the memories are stored.

We can feel each others energy vibes. These energies are deliberate and much more than a feeling of being damned, cursed or unlucky; which has translated into experiencing that your life is now, or has before now, fallen apart. This is not imagined, because thoughts are things. As the mind repeats the patterns set by the original receiver of the generational curse, these energies runs their course through the family line until they are stopped and cleared.

Authors: Bruce Lipton and Dawson Church have scientifically given much new evidence that your genes hold old memories, and that your biology does not have to be your destiny. Thoughts are amenable to changing the course of your past history; when you take your power back in a loving manner.

Your value system is an important factor in the vicissitudes of life. You always play a factor in your own life dramas even if you are not aware of it. Taking responsibility for what have been your experiences, does matter, and makes an impact on your life. I’m not talking about the blame game, where you beat yourself up for what you have done, or for what has been done to you. I am addressing what you do to yourself in terms of not taking control of the way your life has been shaping up so far.

The word “allow” is very appropriate for moving forward in your life. It gives you the power to make changes that consciously would never otherwise get done. The alternative is, you could just stay the way you are, and continue to perpetuate the same ole way things have been, and get more of the same, or make situations worse from continuing on that same path.

You can change your emotions by changing your thoughts. Your mind/ego is very powerful. You are in charge because thoughts are very changeable, and when you change your thoughts you actually can change your conditions. You can change your choice of truths that you are bound by generational curses, and that you need a holy person or priest to bless you and clear away for you your lot in life. It’s time to realize you have more power than you believe is true about yourself, and get your life back on track the way you would like it to be. This will also be a blessing to your family and generations to come. Whatever you give meaning to, is entirely an internal process. We heal from the inside outward. The meaning you give to things does not come from a condition, event, or circumstance outside of yourself. As difficult as this may sound: nothing has any meaning except the meaning you give to it.

Your mind is a storage space of data and it replays like a computer. The mind is filled with stored data just like a computer. This computer/mind merely responds to input, garbage in, garbage out. You have your own delete button, so to speak, that can be used for old no longer useful programs that your mind/ego has held. This is a powerful tool that works with your decisions. There are eons of past history, stored information held in your subconscious mind. Your mind responds to what it was fed consciously or unconsciously, and at the appropriate moment runs the programs that were held and stored within it.

Over the last two thousand years we have come a long way on the path to be in tune with what it takes to overcome the curve balls we have been given in this life, and be in alignment with the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual ways of healing. Since the year 2000 we have taken exponential leaps forward in these areas. Now in 2012 the stage is set for a new level of understanding.

We are all experiencing great rapid changes and find ourselves in unfamiliar territory. We are expanding ourselves in ways that has never been done before, but it’s also an exciting time in our history; which is offering a great deal of promise. How do you see the present and future? Is your glass half full or half empty? Or is it just about completely empty?

This is a time to look into what’s possible. Surrendering to what has been your destiny, because you didn’t know what to do, or what is available to you is defeating. You will have to be willing to do something different than you have ever done before to make the necessary changes. The changes require your full commitment. You can write a new program into your computer, your mind, instead of the past history; which repeats, a warp in your record of life, which replays back to you your current experiences.

We are living in valuable new times of change. As soon as you begins a sincere search for answers in an open way, really choosing to know and change, and committed to do what it takes to get a better life; then you will start the ball rolling in your favor. That is a good place to begin. From that space answers will seem to come out of nowhere.

Things happen so quickly these days. And that is great if you feel “enough is enough” with these unlucky generational curses. In 2012 our thoughts are more powerfully charged for meeting answers to life’s circumstances. That works both ways for positive thoughts or negative thoughts as well. This is a karmic dualistic planet. You can’t have light without dark, ugly without beautiful, stagnation without flow.

You may have recently been thinking about how to get rid of generational curses and here you are reading about the topic! If thoughts become things; then it’s time now to be aware of the input you have on your body, mind and emotions. You impact your life by what you do and don’t do. Decide it is time to connect the dots and return to balance. Realize you can’t do two opposite things at the same time. You can’t sit down and stand up at the same time. You can’t be completely quiet and think at the same time. We do have choices to make.

What will be the price you pay for not changing the old patterns that have been kept within your cellular memories replaying as problems, lack of abundance, and the continual repetition of missing unfulfilled goals and dreams. Breaking generational curses is now possible and not so complicated as you may think. You can release the stuck energy that you could not access previously. You can renew and restore your lost ability to set and continue on your own life’s journey in a positive direction.

I have put together the tools that will safely walk you through the process to accomplishing your long awaited dreams.

Now is the time for an improved life!
