<p>I know these people personally and I think they are amazing!  Check them out :)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dotheo.org"  target="_blank">www.dotheo.org</a> &#8211; This is a friend of mine who has channeled for a while but never wanted to publish anything until recently.  Dotheo is a group of entities from the other side who want to share their knowledge with us.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jovius.or"  target="_blank">www.jovius.org</a> &#8211; This is another friend of mine who has been channeling for a while and publishing messages from Jovius for several years.  There is a huge archive of messages on this website and you can also subscribe to receive daily messages via e-mail.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Law of Attraction we often talk about how important it is to feel good.  But what if you can&#8217;t?  What if something really awful happened and you simply cannot find it in yourself to feel even a teeny bit better about it?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s ok!  You don&#8217;t have to feel better about it at all.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Well here&#8217;s a little Law of Attraction secret:</p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #9900cc;">You don&#8217;t have to feel good about THAT thing&#8230;. you just have to feel good about SOMETHING. </span></strong></em></p>
<p>In Universal terms it&#8217;s very simple.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #9900cc;">Feeling good = in the flow</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #9900cc;">Feeling not good = out of the flow</span></strong></p>
<p>So when you feel good about something &#8211; anything at all &#8211; you put yourself into a place where you can receive all the Universe has to offer.  And when you feel bad you&#8217;re out of that flow and blocking all the abundance that could be yours.  This is why feeling good is so important.  It&#8217;s an indicator that you&#8217;re in alignment with Universal energy and in the flow of receiving those things you want.</p>
<p>So if you can&#8217;t feel good about THAT thing right now that&#8217;s ok.  Just find something else to feel good about so you can stay in the flow.  Do this and I promise you THAT thing will work itself out just fine :)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So a couple days ago we talked about how using the word NEVER can limit your possibilities and life experience.  And in <a href="http://www.mariathemuse.com/2010/09/01/when-you-say-never-you-limit-yourself/"  target="_self">that post</a> we were talking about big things like bungee jumping that may seem out of the realm of possibility for some people.</p>
<p>But what about saying NEVER to things you think are wrong or immoral?  Or just a matter of personal choice? For instance:</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d NEVER steal.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d NEVER prostitute myself for money.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d NEVER abuse drugs.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d NEVER live in THAT neighborhood.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d NEVER allow myself to go broke.&#8221;</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t it a good idea to say NEVER to these types of things?</p>
<p>From a Law of Attraction standpoint, no&#8230; it isn&#8217;t a good idea to say NEVER to these things.  In fact it isn&#8217;t a good idea to say NEVER to anything.  Here&#8217;s why:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong><span style="color: #9900cc;">Saying NEVER limits your possibilities.</span></strong> Not just in the thing you&#8217;re saying NEVER about but in all areas of life.  It&#8217;s like each NEVER slightly contracts your bubble of experience.  And if you say it often enough about enough different things you could find yourself living in a tiny little bubble that is &#8220;safe&#8221; but also really boring.  As an example from my own life, as a kid I always said that &#8220;I&#8217;d NEVER  drive a stick shift!&#8221;  In fact I was quite emphatic about it and refused  to learn when given the opportunity.  And honestly, that shouldn&#8217;t have  been a big deal.  But it was to me and to this day I can&#8217;t drive a  stick.  Ok I can but very badly and it freaks me out to have to do it.   So I&#8217;ve limited myself a lot as to what I can and can&#8217; t drive.  In  fact, there was a time in my life that I was practically housebound  because the only car available was a stick shift and I was too scared to  drive it.  So it limited my life in many other ways.</li>
<li><span style="color: #9900cc;"><strong>Saying NEVER puts the focus on the thing you don&#8217;t want.</strong></span> Most people say NEVER because they feel pretty strongly against the thing they&#8217;re saying NEVER about.  So a surge of emotion goes along with the words.  And what do surges of emotion do?  That&#8217;s right&#8230; they send a signal to the Universe saying, &#8220;Oooo emotion means I want that&#8230;. more please!&#8221;</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #9900cc;">Saying NEVER can cause you to become prejudiced or biased against people who have different standards than you do.</span></strong> And it could also lull you into adopting a &#8220;holier than thou&#8221; attitude which could then lead you into focusing on the differences and negatives about people rather than the positives.  In Law of Attraction we attract more of what we focus on&#8230;. can you see what kind of people you&#8217;ll be attracting in your life?</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #9900cc;">Saying NEVER can cause a lot of shame and self-judgment if later on you are in a circumstance where you have to do the thing you said you&#8217;d never do.</span></strong> I knew a woman who was rather well off and scoffed at people living in apartments.  She lived in a huge, beautiful house and insisted she&#8217;d NEVER living in an apartment building (yeah, I know&#8230; not a big deal to most of us but she saw it as terrible).  Well her husband became very ill and eventually died and the medical bills took up every cent they had.  So she found herself living in not only an apartment but one of those low income housing complexes.  She was very much humbled, and so ashamed that for a while she cut herself off from the world.</li>
</ol>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #9900cc;">So the bottom line is &#8216;NEVER SAY NEVER.&#8221;<br />
Got it?</span></strong></h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever hear these words come out of your mouth&#8230;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh I&#8217;d NEVER go bungee jumping.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh I&#8217;d NEVER juggle flaming knives.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh I&#8217;d NEVER&#8230;.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ok well maybe you haven&#8217;t said exactly that.  But I bet you have said NEVER about many things that you think you wouldn&#8217;t want to do.</p>
<p>What you may not realize though is every time you utter the word NEVER, you are actually limiting yourself.  You are saying NO to one possible life experience and that limits your possibilities.  Not just about that one thing but about many things relating to that thing.</p>
<p>Sure, in reality you may not be interested in bungee jumping.  And so you may think you&#8217;d wouldn&#8217;t ever do it.  That&#8217;s fine.  Just understand that your NEVER may also keep you from participating in activities that &#8220;could&#8221; lead to bungee jumping.  Or that could be risky in other ways.  So that one NEVER not only cuts off that possibility but also many other related possibilities.</p>
<p>Which could leave you with a life experience that excludes many potentially fun and rewarding things.</p>
<p>So never say NEVER.  Instead, say that you don&#8217;t see yourself doing that right now, but you never know&#8230;. it could happen :)</p>
