The Four Agreements

With the end of 2011 and the beginning of 2012, I’ve decided to try to implement four agreements I’ve made with myself.  Don Miguel Ruiz, the author of The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom explains in such an easily understandable way how we learn to behave in society, what to believe and not believe, what is acceptable and what is not, what is beautiful and what is ugly, what is bad and what is good. He calls this, the domestication of humans. He continues to say that these teachings were not our choices as children, but rather passed down from the other humans on the planet that came before us.  We are domesticated through the “good girl/boy” or “bad girl/boy” rules of reward and punishment.  So depending on which we received, our domestication was created.

So what are the Four Agreements:

1. Be impeccable with your word
   This is the most important one because the power of words is amazing.   Choose the words you tell yourself and others well because they can either bless or poison you as well as the person they are directed to. Words can manipulate people so choose your words carefully.
2. Don’t take anything personally
   Usually when people are mean to you, it is usually they who are dealing with their own feelings. It is poison they are trying to send you for you to eat up.  Don’t! If you eat that or take it personally, then it now becomes yours.
3. Don’t make assumptions
   The problem with assumptions is that we will usually believe them as the truth. Don’t assume you know what the other person wants or is talking about, always confirm.  Make sure that you are both on the same page and that your communication is both clear and impeccable.
4. Always do your best
   Once you do your best you have nothing to worry about.

After reading this book The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom, and understanding the four parts, I’ve decided as stated before to try to implement these into my daily life.

I would definitely recommend reading this book by The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom Don Miguel Ruiz as it is a very simple way to understand how to improve your life.  The four agreements seem simple enough, so here goes! Go read the book and try it with me.

Ho’oponopono Technique

Heard of the powerful Hawaiian Ho’oponopono technique used to heal yourself emotionally, physically, mentally?

Joe Vitale, author of over 40 books talks about this effective method for forgiving, healing, letting go and releasing in his book Zero Limits: The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More.

This method uses 4 simple phrases: Please forgive me, I’m sorry, I love you and, Thank you.

 

The belief is that your self and state are a reflection of everything and everyone who comes into your life. You are a part of what you attract. So instead of trying to heal the different parts of your life separately, it is you the whole individual who must be healed.

It is just as we have been taught, your inner world creates your outer world. So by repeating these phrases silently to Source, the Divine etc. you will be healing yourself which will reflect into everything and everyone you attract.

Say them now: “Please forgive me, I’m Sorry, I love you, and Thank you”, while at the same time focusing on the problem to be dealt with.

Repeat these phrases silently and watch the magic.

with love & gratitude

Abraham Hicks: Shift Your Point of Attraction

I am currently reading the book, Money, and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness by Esther and Jerry Hicks. There’s a great wealth of knowledge and just came across this and wanted to share. Hopefully it will give you the ‘Ah ha’ moment I’m searching for.

“By softening your attention to the things that are going wrong, and beginning to tell stories that lean more in the direction of what you want instead of in the direction of what you have got, your vibration will shift, your point of attraction will shift, and you will get different results. And in a short time, because of the different results you are then getting, you will then have beliefs or knowledge of abundance that will easily perpetuate more of the same. Look for reasons to feel good. Identify what you want - and hold your thoughts in a place that feels good.”

In The Mystery of 2012, you will discover the startling predictions and revelations of prominent thinkers, including: * John Major Jenkins’ journey to the source for answers–the original Mayan calendar * Gregg Braden’s examination of the scientific evidence for a shift in the Earth’s magnetic field, and how it will affect all life * Barbara Marx Hubbard’s and Peter Russell’s explorations of the accelerating pace of evolution–why we may literally be transforming into a new species * Ecologist Joanna R.
