Book is back from printer and ready to go!

Hey Everyone, my book came back from the printer and it is beautiful!

Judging from the reviews on Amazon, people are really enjoying it!

One reader told me she sees it as similar to Richard Bach's "Illusions" and another said it is similar to Robert Persig's "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance!"

That's pretty cool. Both of those books were on my early spiritual search and had a profound effect on me. Thank you for those thoughts!

My first radio broadcast was this past Saturday.

Check out my book about internal growth, intending your life and how I met my spirtitual teacher. I also have a list of other books I strongly suggest you read to further your own spiritual quest! You can find my book at http://www.joyousintent.com/.

Intentional Living

Many people don't realize that bringing circumstances into their lives is mostly an internal exercise. We in Western culture are so focused on the external showing of value that we miss the importance of our internal actions, thoughts and desires.

In truth, the Law of Attraction reacts to our internal processes. It does not act to change them. Can one tuning fork cause another tuning fork to change its tune?

If we spent as much time intentionally living as we do reacting to what we believe is independent of us, the world would be a different place.

The power of Chi / Qigong / Kundalini Video

The link below connects to an amazing video of a qigong master doing his work.

He is using the creative force that abides in all of us. He calls it Qi (pronounced 'chee' or 'key') and describes it as a polarity of energy (negative in the perineum and positive in the solar plexus).

As he gets it to move, he brings the polarities together and that creates or rather intensifies the electricity in his body.

Anyone who has opened the internal valve to their raw creative energy will describe it as electricity moving through the body. When it gets fully moving, if the person's internal system (chakras) is not clear enough (thought/emotional stuck points), it can create what appears to be shaking of one's hands and feet. The waves of electricity excite the muscles in pulses as if plugged into a wall socket.

This creative energy is part of every daily experience but it normally flows at such a small rate, it is not noticable. The Chi Master in the video has learned, through meditation, to focus it and control it's direction. He is then able to use his creative energy to heal others.

Throughout most of the video, he is able to remain humble but, as with most of us, eventually gives in a little bit to his ego and has a little fun showing off. The repercussions come quick. His internal Master tells him he has broken the rules of his particular meditation practice and thus needs to withdraw from society and go back into a hermitage to meditate.

This video is truly well a well done demonstration of the amazing power we all have within.
The only difference between this guy and the rest of us is that he took the time to develop his.

Advanced Exercises for developing internal Will

For those of you who aren't meditators, this exercise can develop Will just as well as meditation. For those of you who are meditators, you'll recognize the steps.

Although many people meditate by walking in nature, or doing exercise such as long distance running, that is not what I will be referring to. This exercise is solely aimed at developing internal Will and as such needs you to remove all other distractions.

Start by sitting in a comfortable position. Decide on a short timeline, 15 minutes works. Turn off your phone (I know, I'm killing you!).

I suggest sitting because if you lie down, you may fall asleep and that defeats the purpose right? We aren't aiming at total peace and bliss here, we are aiming at strengthening your Will.

Close your eyes and pretend there is a blank movie screen on the inside of your forehead. Look at the screen and make sure it is blank. If there are pictures on screen, blank them out.

If you already meditate, or practice using your imagination abilities you may see movies or pictures or stories on the screen. That's wonderful but remember, we are working on building Will, not going on a journey. Blank the screen. Once the screen is blank, keep it blank until items stop popping up. If it's blank to start, great.

Once you can hold it blank for a bit, imagine a beach ball floating there on the screen. See the shape and colors.

Hold the beach ball for a minute or so. Once it is steady, cut your focus off from the screen and move your full attention down to your chest and feel your heart beat.

Put all attention onto feeling the steady beat in your chest. An alternative is to put all attention on hearing your breath go in and out. What matters is that you intentionally, even forcefully, choose to move your attention from one internal focus to another. The goal is to bounce your focus between the two points, each time disconnecting from the previous focus and totally focusing on the new area.

When you are starting out, there is nothing special about either of these locations, heart or forehead. You could pick other areas of your body to focus upon, however, my suggestion to you is to pick a place between your heart and the top of your head, no lower. When your Will strength starts to increase, you will be sending quite a bit of your creative energy into wherever you focus. Generally that doesn't go over well with the digestive system and other lower organs. Better to stay at heart level or above.

Once you get going and the strength of your Will increases, you'll find the screen on the inside of your forehead may take on quite a bit of significance, especially if you start to meditate.
