They say that God is always trying to speak to us right, and that He will use whatever means available to do it right? … ok … well, this morning I woke up and let my dog outside to relieve herself, like I normally do every morning. She went number one and number two so that was great, and then I decided to take her for a walk. My dog is the type of dog that will go pretty much anywhere. She doesn’t wait to find a nice patch of grass, the sidewalk is just as good a place to go as any, but I wrongfully assumed that because she already went number two, I probably wouldn’t need the little baggy to pick up after her. Of course she went on the sidewalk on the way to the park and I was unprepared. So I said to myself, I’ll go ahead and go to the park and come home and then get a baggy and come back out and clean up after her.
So we continued to head to the park and wouldn’t you know it, there was a plastic bag (a clean plastic bag at that) on the sidewalk just seemingly calling out to me to be used for the noble purpose of cleaning up after my dog. I thought, how awesome that God would provide a plastic bag for me when I needed it. Thank you God, this is just awesome. You care about the smallest things.
So after we went to the park, I cleaned up after my dog and went back home and started to contemplate how I was going to pay my bills this month. I happen to have some debt at the moment and I sometimes feel fear about the subject and I started to say to myself, ok I need this amount of money for this bill and this amount of money for that bill, and I was coming from a place of fear and want. I stopped and thought, if God would provide for me such a simple thing as a clean plastic bag to clean up dog poop, why wouldn’t he provide what I needed financially.
I know that what we say and how we say it is so important for us to be able to manifest the things we need, so I thought about the difference in my words and attitude when I thought, “I’ll just go back in the house and get a baggy, and I will be able to clean up the situation” vs. “I need this amount of money and that amount of money. What am I going to do?”
The main difference I saw was that I had a plan to obtain the baggy and acted on that plan and there was no fear involved. An even better baggy option was provided for me. How can I apply the same principal to the money situation?
My understanding is that God has already provided what I need. Surely he has a way to get me the money to pay my bills.
So I decided to look at it like this, the money is already in the house, I just need to go back to the house and get it.
Next question, where is God’s house? I guess it’s the universe. Ah, the universe, where all this law of attraction stuff is supposed to happen. The Bible says that we do not have because we do not ask. I think my next step is to pray and let God know what I need. Then listen to what He tells me so I know where to find what I need. After all, I’m sure He knows where He keeps the baggies in his house. I’ll let you know how my new perception works for me.
I would like to hear your stories. How have you experienced provision in your life?

Recently I discovered some of the conclusions I made about money when I was younger. It is amazing when you can figure out your childhood reasoning and see how your childhood decisions affect you today. When you can recognize these thoughts and make a redecision about how you are going to think, you can be free from the thoughts that have restricted your ability to move forward in life in ways that would be fulfilling to you. I encourage you to write down some decisions you made when you were young (no matter how childish it sounds). These are the core issues you deal with without consciously thinking about it. Then think about the kind of life you want and figure out how you need to change your thinking to reach your goals. Write down your new decision. Think about your new decision every day until you start to integrate it into your life. Realizing what you are thinking or your thought process is most of the battle. The rest is about renewing your mind to a new way of thinking. It takes 21 days to form a habit. You can change your thinking and how you interact in your daily existence within 21 days.
When I realized what my childhood reasonings were, I used the V-Plus program to assist and support me on an energitic level so that the redecisions I decided to make could come about more quickly for me or integrate more fully into my thought process. It can help you to feel more supported when you work through your stuff.
Hope this give you some food for thought on how you can change your thinking and as a result change your life for the better.
Blessings

I’ve been thinking a lot about love and what it really means to love something or someone. How do we do it? Can love heal us? Can we heal others with our love? What is love anyway? What does it look like? Sometimes it is a mystery to me.
I believe that love is a choice and that is why “love never fails.” It is not about trying to get the outcome we want if we love something or someone enough — love don’t fail me now… . It is about loving no matter what because we chose to love — doing whatever it takes to do the highest good for someone else. I believe only those who love themselves in a healthy way are able to do this kind of sacrificial love toward others without any kind of hidden agenda beneath the surface. It is so important for our thinking to be healthy so that we will not do anything that will cause pain to ourselves or others.
Some thoughts have dropped into my mind lately. Things like – Love deeply, and don’t hold on too tightly to the things in this world. Allow others to make their own choices and trust God with the outcome. He knows all things and is working all things together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to His purpose. Don’t be “married” to the outcome you want. There is more likelihood of using manipulation in a situation if you are married to the outcome. What is our motivation for doing what we do?
So What is Love? I don’t have a full definition because there seems to be so much to real unconditional love but one short description of the nature of love is that “Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” (I Corinthians 13:7-8)
If you are interested, I wrote out some Bible verses below that I just looked up regarding love. They provide some more insights into what love is according to the Word of God.
Galations 5:6 reads, “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” Verse 14, “The entire law is summed up in a single command, ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’” Verse 22, “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
In I John 3:14 it says, “We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death.” Verse 16, “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us.”
Chapter 4:12 “… but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.” Verse 16-19 “… God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like Him. There is no fear in love. But perfect loves drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because He first loved us.”

I went to a wonderful seminar this last weekend with the person who developed the V-plus and Energy Infuser program. Everyone who attended got so much out of the seminar with the information shared and finding out exactly how this program works in the quantum field. It really is fascinating.
One thing that was said at the seminar that stands out to me is that we are a society that is chemically addicted to stimulation. We are seeking quick fixes in food, alcohol, drugs, sex, violence on TV, etc; things that will give us an adrenaline rush. With all the addictive chemical reactions going on inside us, it is difficult to shift to a more positive, healthy existence. It takes a conscious choice and focus.
A most important point was made, that genuine love does not create a chemical addiction inside of us. Love is a conscious choice. “True love just is.”
Endorphin’s released in our body create love, joy, harmony, peace and a “pain-free sense of well-being.” Adrenaline on the other hand creates nervousness and restless behavior. It is part of our fight or flight response.
Looking at the difference of these two states from an energetic perspective, the more peaceful the emotion, the more rhythmic the frequency. Someone with a higher emotional tone is more logical. Insanity is found in people with a lower emotional tone.
In the book, Power vs. Force, there is a chart that shows you the different calibration points of different emotional states. For example, fear calibrates at a level of 100. The lowest calibrating emotional state on the list is shame. The mid point between when a person is functioning in a weakened state and when they are functioning at a more positive state is when courage and integrity are present. According to this source, courage calibrates at a level of 200. From there, the higher calibrating states in order are neutrality, willingness, acceptance, reason, love, joy, peace and finally enlightenment.
So we have a choice, we can choose to remain in our addictive state or we can choose to step into a stronger, healthier existance. It is not always easy, but it reaps great benefits in time. It is a wonderful feeling to be at peace with yourself in all areas of your life. My desire is that more and more people will desire that for themselves and will take the steps to change their world by changing themselves.
Peace

When it comes to our thinking, we all want to be a victim. I’m not talking about being abused, nobody wants that (at least I hope not), but to be a victim in our thinking has its perks. If we don’t over-do our victim statements, we can get sympathy from people. We can feel supported when we tell others how life has given us a bunch of rotten apples. We can get hugs, keep people in relationships because they feel needed, and all kind of other displays of support and forms of “love.”
It takes a lot for a person to decide that they don’t want to be a victim in their thinking any longer. Making that choice is a very mature thing to do and deserves a lot of acknowledgment for this extremely positive step. In my opinion, it ultimately leads to better and more satisfying life experiences and will make this world a better place to live.
Part of overcoming victim thinking is realizing when we do it. Evidence that we are starting to come out of this type of thinking is when we respond to people instead of react to people. When you feel hurt or angry about what someone said to you, take a look at that feeling. Do you feel “less than” or “loss” from the statement they made. When you are able to analyze your reactions to people’s statements, you will start to see your patterns and how easy it is to slip into victim thinking, and it will give you a place to start making better choices in your life.
Using a technique from EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), say to yourself, “even though I feel hurt/angry about what they said to me, I deeply and completely accept myself.” See if you feel better just by saying this statement. Notice how your feelings change, maybe even keep a journal of your experience, before and after, to increase your awareness of your growth.
To assist in changing victim thinking, the V-Plus uses strengthening statements that are written just for your situation. Nullifying statements are included to help counteract negative thought processes at an energetic level. If you want to make a change, I believe the V-Plus and Energy Infuser can assist in your transformation. Try it out.
Have a great day
Cindy

This is my very first post on my very first blog and I’m so excited to have this on my site.
I hope to share with you the experiences that I have been through and the thought processes that have helped me get out of my own victim thinking and have set me on a more powerful and a more fulfilling path.
I have come a long way from my days in high school where I drove down from Flagstaff to Phoenix every weekend to see a psychologist to help me through those very difficult years. Looking back I am thankful for it because after about 3 or 4 years (that’s right – 4 YEARS), I had a significant breakthrough where I no longer wanted to be on a self-destructive course. Ever since then, I have done a lot of my own mental processing to overcome things that have held me back in my life.
Recently I discovered the V-Plus system and I have been able to achieve even deeper revelations about myself and my thinking and have been able to walk in even more freedom as I learned to let go of all my past programming and focus on my exciting days ahead.
I hope you find the information I will share in the coming days helpful in your own walk. Let me know.
Blessings,
Cindy
