			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://theeurekanetwork.com/using-the-power-of-intention-to-dissipate-catastrophic-events.html/atchafalaya-basin" rel="attachment wp-att-1245"><img src="http://theeurekanetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/atchafalaya-basin.jpg" alt="atchafalaya basin" width="170" height="113" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1245" /></a>Being from La. and in the direct path of several Hurricanes was very frightening and unsettling to say the least. As a practitioner of energetic healing, I knew the power of intentions. There is a website conducting the Intention Experiment for world peace, complying scientific data of the number of people participating.</p>
<p>Would it be possible to focus this intention concerning the storm? Because of increased technology in forecasting weather conditions, we were able to get advance warnings about the approaching storms and tropical depressions.</p>
<p>Many people who are aware of the dynamics of focused intention began to put that into practice. People from all over the world joined in with prayers and intentions for the weather conditions to dissipate. At one point I gave into the panic and fear when hearing that Hurricane Gustave could be a category 5 when it reached our area. This means winds over 155 miles per hour and devastation for everything in its path with storm surges higher than 18 feet above normal. By the time the hurricane came over our area, it had diminished to a category 1-2. Category 1 has winds 74-95 mph and category 2 has winds of 96-110 mph. Although we had much to be grateful for, many people fled from their homes, others still not having water or electricity and still others suffered much destruction of property and some fatalities.</p>
<p>What do you do? Was there time to leave the area? Leaving meant many hours on the road with a possibility that there would not be any gas available. Where would you go? The hurricane could change and go in any direction at a moments notice. What about the home that you were leaving? Do you have enough time to safeguard your property? Many areas had mandatory evacuations. If anything was learned from Hurricane Katrina and Rita, it was being more prepared.</p>
<p>Although there was still destruction, it could have been so much worse.<br />
My area was protected and I am very grateful for that. However, there are more storms that are forming.</p>
<p>My request is for everyone reading this to help with the intention of dissipating these catastrophic events. I feel that the collective consciousness is a very powerful thing that should be recognized. Everything responds to vibration and the power that our thoughts have to attract or change events is enormous. Please use your intention as often as you like, but particularly during the times of 9AM and 9PM.</p>

&#8220;The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.” ~Zen Saying</p>
<p>When life seems to be going in many directions at once, think about conscious intentional relaxation. It is simply bringing your awareness and your intention to allow your mind, body and spirit to relax. It only takes a few seconds or minutes, but how often do we take the time to do this?</p>
<p>As you concentrate on your breathe and not your mind, this feeling of relaxation takes you deeper inside yourself. The relaxation response helps you feel supported inside so that you can remain centered in the highest vibrations of love, peace and oneness. This is the only way you can experience what you truly want in your life.</p>
<p>The combination of our awareness of our breathing and being conscious about our intention to relax can have significant effects on the mind,the body and one’s moods. This helps you become more physically relaxed and mentally centered. This is something simple and quick that can help you feel relaxed, alert, and more ready for anything.</p>
<p>By setting our intention to relax, we also warm our heart; uplift our spirit, which gives us the space to remain confident.</p>
<p>Our intentions play a very important role in our lives. Become aware of your intentions throughout your day and consciously set your intention to relax. This is especially important when life seems to be overwhelming or we are surrounded by chaos. These are the times when it most important to make a habit of setting your intentions to relax. This will have a cumulative effect, the more you intentionally relax your mind,body and spirit. Your body, mind, and spirit will react to this conditioned response and become more relaxed and able to cope with the ups and downs of life.</p>
<p>Go to the safe space within your heart that is filled with love, joy and abundance NOW and intentionally RELAX.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are new ideas that are now emerging that challenge everything that we have previously believed concerning how our world works. It was once thought that our mind and body were separate and not connected to anything else in our environment.</p>
<p>Albert Einstein essentially proved was everything is energy, showing that everything in the universe is connected and not separate.</p>
<p>There is an universal life force energy that is in everything.  This flow of life force energy is the essence of our being, flowing through us physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.  </p>
<p>In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.&#8221; Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Nobel Laureate in Medicine. </p>
<p>Energy is all around us.  And it’s not just the energy that turns on our lights!</p>
<p>Invisible energies shape the way you feel, the way you think and the way you live.  You can use these energies for your health and well-being.</p>
<p>Have you ever felt when someone was staring at you?  Have you been able to sense another person’s presence before you actually saw or heard that person? </p>
<p>When you are around certain people, do you sometimes feel drained? Have you ever walked into a room and tightened up, felt angry or wanted to leave?  </p>
<p>Are there others who make you feel uplifted or happy just being around them?  </p>
<p>What you are experiencing are the energy fields around other people that are invisible or unseen by most individuals.</p>
<p>The first practitioner of energy medicine is you.  We all have the power to assist in healing through a simple science of energy. </p>
<p>The ability to heal oneself or others is considered a natural potential.  </p>
<p>Anyone who has a pure intent to help can develop this innate ability with knowledge and practice. </p>
