My Everyday Mystic by Jan Puta: blog for the soul

Those of you who are pet owners and animal lovers will find support in my new website and blog as a Spiritual Advocate for Animals.

If you ever wondered what’s going on inside of their heads, or if deep down they love you as much as you love them, here’s what you’re looking for. Find the answers to questions like these and so much more on the weekly blog posts about everyday pets and animals like yours.

Listen in on the conversations I have with pet owners and animals lovers just like you. Discover how we intuitively work together to solve their problems for sick, fearful, and dying animals. Find helpful ideas you can use.

And if you want to feel like you’ve given the best possible care for your pets and animals, schedule an appointment with me for an intuitive energy reading and alignment. It’s more than information – it’s energy clearing work and energy alignment for these beings you cherish as part of your own family.

I’d love to have you become part of our animal lovers family on my Facebook Fan Page. As soon as you become a fan, upload a picture of your pets and introduce them to us. This fan page is all about them – giving them a place to share their wonderful loving energy, and giving us who love them a place to hold a sacred space for their healing and wholeness.

I’m looking forward to your comments and suggestions, especially situations with your pets you’d like me to write about.

Whatever you’re thinking about as your greatest gift to give, I bet you’re thinking about how you might give it away or share it with others.

But what if the greatest gift you can give begins with gifting yourself?

At first I was taken aback by this suggestion, “My greatest gift to give is my happiness.” (*The Teachings of Abraham)

As I read further, I discovered that the most perfect place to begin with any kind of giving is to build up your own center of happiness and well being within. It’s like filling up the well before you dip in and share with others.

“When you are in a state of joy or appreciation, you are connected to the Stream of Source Energy that is truly who-you-are – and anything or anyone that you are holding as your object of attention benefits from your attention.” (*The Teachings of Abraham)

Did you know it could be that easy?

Want to give a great gift to your family today? Go and get yourself happy!
Want to bring a terrific attitude to your workplace today? Go and get yourself happy!
Want to have the best energy for dealing with the people and issues that are coming your way today? Go and get yourself happy!

Snail mail is welcome every year around my birthday! I love greeting cards – the beautiful illustrations, the personal comments, and the special messages for my very own day.

For me, it’s also another opportunity to practice the message of the “everyday mystic” and to weave each card into my daily meditations of grounding and gratitude, attraction and appreciation.

Here are some of my favorite lines. May they enrich and inspire you too.

“The world was blessed the day you were born. You are a gift to us all!”

“Enjoy the sweetness of life…
the joy of family and friends…
and the peace that comes from God above.”

“Today may you be visited by happiness.”

“As you grow into all that God has planned for you this year,
may each day give way to blessing after blessing.”

Blessings on your birthday, whenever it comes this year. Feel free to come back and share some of your favorite birthday greetings with us.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

As suggested in Part I, for the past few days you’ve been looking at what’s on your mind and then writing down your observations.

The whole point in doing that is to gain more awareness of what your subconscious mind and ego are up to.

You are on a mission to empower yourself by taking back your power to create the kind of life you say you really want.

The tools you need to change your life experience into what you really want to experience are higher consciousness and more awareness on how to spiritually evolve into that better life experience.

Here are the last two suggestions that I invite my clients and students to use to turn around the energy and outcome in the observations they made up to this point.

3. Do a blessing for every issue you wrote down. Go back to the list of observations you’ve been working on in step 2 in Part I. Rephrase each entry to make it into a blessing, appreciation, or gratitude statement. The positive energy of these thoughts and feelings shifts your own energy field when you do this. Use statements like this:

• “I am grateful to all the brave and wonderful people working on keeping our country safe.”
• “I am delighted to see all the people making a good living, and rebuilding the economy in our country, because they give me hope for my own journey.”
• “I enjoy seeing couples and friends having a good time together. Just like them, special people are showing up in my life too.”
• “I am so happy for you, Nancy! You have a growing practice and lots of clients all the time. May you and all of them continue to prosper, grow, and to heal.”

You don’t have to speak or send these new statements to anyone. This is for your own confrontation with your self-limiting belief systems, and replacing them with more nurturing and supportive ideas and feelings.

Whether you’re having sessions in Healing Touch, Reiki, or Spiritual Response Therapy, you can use these and other forms of energy work to open yourself up to even deeper benefits.

What each alternative healing modality does for you is to empower you to take charge of your own life experience. If you don’t like what you are experiencing at home or work, in your finances or relationships, you can change those outcomes.

The tools you need to change your life experience into what you really want to experience are higher consciousness and more awareness on how to spiritually evolve into that better life experience.

Here are the first two of four suggestions that I invite my clients and students to use.

1. What’s on your mind? This is the beginning of awareness. Listen to the thoughts going on inside your head. What are you thinking when you listen to the news? What are you thinking when you listen to the conversation among your peers at work or school, your friends on Facebook or in emails.

Look at what comes up for you when you read my articles on this blog, or any other source of spiritual wisdom that you read. A lot of the chatter in your head is ego driven. Becoming aware of what your ego is thinking, and how it is messing with you, is a really powerful step in evolving your consciousness.

Are there times when you feel stuck, going nowhere, same old stuff happening at work and at home day after day?

Did you know you can change that? Did you know there are ways for you to take charge of what is happening?

I used to think that being “stuck” was something that just happened.

Then as I read more of the teachings of Abraham as recorded by Esther and Jerry Hicks, I began to understand this quotation: “Life is always in motion, so I cannot be stuck.”

At first I didn’t get it. After all, I was seeing the same types of clients show up, the same totals in and out of my bank account, and the same feelings about myself as compared to what my vision and dreams were to make a bigger and brighter contribution to the world.

Little by little I began to understand Abraham’s teachings about the Law of Attraction and how energy works: “It is not possible to stand still or be stuck, because Energy, and therefore life, is always in motion. Things are always changing.”

Well if “things are always changing,” how do you explain the same old stuff that shows up in my life and in the lives of many other folks I know?

Jessica is a nurse practitioner in a local urgent care, walk-in clinic. She loves caring for people and what she’s capable of doing for them.

Then there are days when she can’t seem to do anything right for certain patients. We’ve all been there as practitioners, whether we use the medical or the alternative healing modalities!

Jessica was aware enough to know that something else was going on here between her and these difficult patients.

She was also open enough to understand that if she didn’t do something about it on an energy level, the next time she encountered these patients could be chaotic, and even traumatic, for her and for them.

With Spiritual Response Therapy, I worked with her High Self and mine to research the past lives between Jessica and two of the most difficult patients she recently cared for in the clinic. The process involved identifying the subconscious program that Jessica was running in that past life, who perceives they were harmed and by whom, and what unresolved energies each character carried forward into this current lifetime.

That part of the research and clearing the soul records for Jessica brought her tremendous relief. Another significant part of the SRT session was to become aware of and clear all the contracts and agreements Jessica made with these people, now showing up as patients, to experience self-punishment, vindication, or judgment from them.

Prayers and pleas for help for the people of Haiti are coming across our computers, tvs, and cell phones.

There is no end to the current need, and there is no limit to the power of whatever you can share in your time or resources.

In the solidarity we have with them as the human family, let’s embrace them in a higher vision of hope and healing.

This is one way to hold and transmit love and light to those in need:

Choose a strong, affirming, and comforting statement to focus on like these lines from Rev. Angela Peregoff:

“I am a spark of light through which cosmic truth shines. I am a Creational Force in human form that is here to love all that I am afraid of, to look at what I am afraid to look at, and to send love to that which still scars the soul.”

Ground yourself with stillness and focusing on your breathing. Bring your awareness into your heart space and be at peace.

Now imagine yourself in a shower of golden and white light as you repeat to yourself:

“I am a spark of light through which cosmic truth shines. I am a Creational Force in human form that is here to love all that I am afraid of, to look at what I am afraid to look at, and to send love to that which still scars the soul.”

Then broaden your view, enlarge your landscape and see all the people of Haiti standing before you and stretching out to the horizon.

True to what My Everyday Mystic embodies, here is a method to access any spiritual writing as both information and inspiration for everyday support and guidance.

You can use a pendulum or muscle testing to check your energy alignment with even the most profound mystical beliefs.

I’m going to use one line from the December 21, 2009 morning blessing of Rev. Angela Peregoff. (You can read her complete blessing on her website www.AngelaPeregoff.com)

Step 1: bring your awareness into your heart center and open up your soul presence. Become still inside and outside. The intention here is to center and ground yourself.

Step 2: read this statement two or three times reverently and reflectively.
“I know my life to be a continuous unfoldment of Holy Beingness, of I AM.”

Step 3: ask yourself if you believe this deep down in your soul. If you dowse or use muscle testing, you’ll get a yes or no answer.

Step 4: if you get a yes answer, ask yourself to what degree, or how much do you believe the statement in step #2. On a number’s chart you’ll get a percentage. With muscle testing, ask if you believe it more than 25%, more than 50%, more than 75% etc to get an idea of the strength of your belief.

“Through all events of life I am forever grounded in the knowing that I rest in Oneness with the great maker of All That Is.

Thisgreat one is at the center of my Being and provides the healing balm when outer experiences hurt.

This kindness that forever has made its home in my heart knows nothing except wholeness and so I live as Spirit’s perfection in this day and time.”

(© 2003-2009 Rev Angela Peregoff, www.angelaperegoff.com)

The daily blessings from Rev. Angela Peregoff are some of the treasures I look forward to at the start of each day. There is always something deep inside the words and between the lines that finds its way into my mind and soul.

As we’re off and running into a new year, I thought this part of the blessing from December 4th was a thoughtful reminder of how to keep ourselves balanced in mind, body and spirit.

For the soul, keep yourself grounded in the belief, the trust, and the hope that you are never alone. Hold fast to your knowing that you are one with the “great maker of All That Is.” No one and no thing can take you out of, tear you apart from, or separate you from that Oneness. There is tremendous comfort and power in understanding that.

After the presents are opened, the holiday meals eaten, the friends and guests have left, some children express what may be on many minds, “I’m bored!”

It’s difficult to keep up the adrenalin rush of holidays without wearing yourself out or putting a hole in your wallet.

Where do you turn for warmth inside during the cold wintry days in parts of the US? Where are your sunbeams when the sky is grey and sullen? Where is your joy when the weather seals you up inside the house for days?

There is no boredom in beauty! Make that the starting point of a spiritual exercise that warms up your soul and thaws out your heart.

Look for something beautiful to focus on: crystal icicles hanging from a bare tree, hoar frost sparkling like a wonderland up and down the neighborhood, sparrows huddled together around the evergreens. Click here to continue reading There is Never Boredom in Beauty

I’m celebrating Christmas on December 25th here in the States!

Although I’m behind in the decorating, I’m taking my time to savor the spirit of this special season.

Greeting cards are some of my favorite things. I love the many different ways we say some of the same things.

Stroll through some of these tender sentiments and stop to taste the sweetness of those that touch you most.

May the Joy of Christmas stay in your heart
and bring you a year of happiness.

(What I love about this blessing is that it’s focused on the gift of Joy stored inside the heart from where it continues to pour out happiness through out the year.)

May you be blessed with
the love of family,
the warmth of good friends,
the joy of giving,
the happiness of children,
the celebration of life,
and peace throughout the coming year.

(This reminds me of the blessings I already have and take for granted. Wouldn’t it make a difference in the world if we appreciated what we already have, and supported those charities and services that help the less fortunate?)

Every season of the year has God’s handwriting all over the pages of the sky and the land.

Take the time to look for the inner light shining through the trees in full bloom or stripped of all their foliage.

Follow the lines of tree trunks and branches arching up into the sky like fingers poking at the clouds. Smell the earthy fragrance of wet bark after the rain. Marvel at the crystal sculptures of shrubs and trees encased in ice.

Notice the simple joy showing up in the freshness of rain or the first white snow, the blossoms of spring or the harvest of fall. Watch the pulse of life as birds build their nests and geese migrate.

Wait for the moment that unlocks your heart – and then enjoy the thrill of being totally alive again.

What joy and wisdom do you find in nature? Please drop a line in the response box below (or click on the comment link in Facebook) and share your thoughts with us.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

You are invited to join the final month of Energetic Reprogramming for 2009 beginning December 1. This is an exceptional awareness and energy shift opportunity offered by my friends Leni Onkka and Yamini Bhatt.

Here’s what was said about being in their group: “In regard to the affirmation – I  miraculously receive money from unexpected sources – I received an envelope in the mail with a check for $1200.  This is someone I have been supporting for several years.  Never did I expect to receive a return from this person for this amount!”

Saying an affirmation with feeling while imagining your desired outcome activates creative force within us that provides a direct link to our soul.  People often feel a sense of oneness that they achieve through mediation.  Spirit is then able to enter and we feel the connection to our intention.  This enables us to directly manifest what we desire into the physical world.  It teaches us to take responsibility for the creative power we have in choosing the life we lead.

With millions of people putting out a request to the Universe every moment, how do you know your voice is being heard and you’re going to get what you want?

Be assured that “every request is granted” because “there is no end to the Universal resources that fulfill these requests.” (Ask and It is Given Cards by Esther and Jerry Hicks)

Not only is there an unlimited supply from which to draw the answers to every question, the solutions to every problem, and the results for every request, “for that reason, there is no competition.” (Ask and It is Given Cards by Esther and Jerry Hicks)

So relax into knowing what you want, and being clear about that. Then stay in the focus and good feeling of what you want. Look for evidence that what you want is already showing up in the lives of others and say to yourself, “See, it’s over there… and over there… and over there. And now it’s my turn next.”

As we’re approaching our Thanksgiving holiday on November 26th here in the States, I’d like to share with you some “soul food” and bits of wisdom to slip in between the open spaces in your mind and your heart.

I love Chinese food, especially the fortune cookies and the delightful messages inside of them.

I recently received one that said, “Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.”

As I listen to those words over and over again, here is what I’m hearing:

• Give one less criticism and one more compliment;

• Share less judgment and intolerance; share more compassion and diversity;

• Cancel the whiner in your head, and commit to the wisdom in your heart;

• Stop punishing your body for what you’ve made of it, and start providing it with healthier food and more exercise; Click here to continue reading My Thanksgiving Message to You
