Your Sweet Heart

As you know, I am a recovering worrywart.  And as you have no-doubt heard, worry does not help anything.  And as you also no-doubt know, knowing that worry doesn’t help, is not enough to stop your worrying.  

Right? 

What does help?

This time honored meditation works.

Heart Breathing  

Sit quietly.  Phone off etc.  Breathe slowly and easily.   

Feel your fear, your worry.  See the images.  Now breathe all that into your heart.  I know, “Yikes.”  But trust me, your heart will be fine. 

Let your heart soften.  And continue to breathe in the worry, the fear, the pain. 

When you feel you have taken in as much as you can, you can start to exhale loving kindness phrases. 

For instance –

        May I be blessed.

        May she be blessed.

        May I be at peace.

        May I be safe and loved.

        May she be at peace. 

        May she be safe and loved.

You can make up any phrase that feels good to you.  Or if you’re worried about someone else, ask yourself what whould bless them.  Are you with me? 

Keep on with all of this until you feel at home and at peace in your heart. 

OK?

These Two Books Can Guide Your Heart 

I recommend reading Legacy of the Heart : The Spiritual Advantage of a Painful Childhood by Wayne Muller first. 

Muller is kind, gentle, and in your face truth telling at the same time.  He is a therapist and has a masters in divinity or the like.  He quotes Jesus, Buddha, Steven Levine, The Dalai Lama, and Rumi…  All my heroes. 

He offers the most useful meditations I have found for healing shame.  I recommend this highly. 

Comfortable with Uncertainty: 108 Teachings on Cultivating Fearlessness and Compassion by Pema Chodron. 

This lovely book deals with what it’s like to be human and having to live with uncertainty all the time.  The 108 teachings are one to one and half pages long.  I like to read a couple before bed. 

Walk in beauty, and may your sweet heart be at ease, 

William

If You Have Been Following My Tweets

If you have been following my Tweets, you have seen that I have left the Zombies and am talking about the Get Wealthy First Program. I’ll get back to my tweets in a second but first…

Here’s the Premise of The Get Wealthy Program–

1. Wealth is what you have leftover beyond your money. The harsher version – wealth is what you have without your money.

2. By building on this DEEP WEALTH, you can create the time and money you want for living.

3. The Get Wealthy First Program shows you how you can

• Easily gather DEEP WEALTH without spending a penny.

• Expand your DEEP WEATLH into cash so that you can have a life you love wholeheartedly body and soul.

Go get the short introductory video >> HERE <<.

Now Back To The Tweets…

Every morning I get wealthy first. You can discover more when you watch the video.

I go outside, get present, and connect with something in nature that makes my heart glow. From there, Sacred Empowerment takes over and I feel APPRECIATION which leads to LOVE which leads to GRATITUDE which leads to DEEP WEALTH. This all happens simultaneously, not so linearly.

As a personal practice, I write Tweets that attempt to capture the ineffable in 140 characters – a challenge! Here are two Tweets from this week.

Two red oaks embrace in a dawn slow dance. Still and yet filled with slow potent life force welling up into joy.

Full moon sets over the sunrise bathed Olympics. Windows on the peninsula ignite.

You can follow me on Twitter or Facebook.com for my near daily Tweets.

When you get the video, I’ll be sure to let you know when the rest of the Videos, Manuals, and Podcasts are ready.

They will show you in great detail how you can convert DEEP WEALTH into living a life you love wholeheartedly.

Here Is What Happened To Matisse…

Here is what happened to Matisse the first time he took up brush to paint –

“When I started to paint, I felt transported into a kind of paradise.”

He’s talking about flow. He’s talking about the right brain. He’s talking about the Buddha brain. He’s talking about conscious action. He’s talking about presence.

Art of any sort has the ability to put you into the graceful state of flow. When you are in flow, you enjoy what you’re doing. You lose self-consciousness. Your sense of time changes. It disappears completely. It stops dead in frozen, perfect moments. Or it flies.

If you’re in the Seattle area on Nov. 8th 2008, you can join us for FLOW AND THE MAGIC OF MAKING ART. Go here for details.

And do sign up to be informed of future classes.

IF YOU’RE NOT going to be in Seattle, paint. Get books on making art. Visit the libraries of the universe. Go to art museums. Paint. Draw. Sketch. Doodle. Use your right brain. You could start with the amazing book -- DRAWING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0874774195/williamwittmannvA/


Do watch this video about the right brain done by Jill Bolte Taylor, a woman who had a brain breakdown and lost her left brain, thereby making her completely right brained. Fascinating. (Note: Oprah has some interviews with her on-line as well.)

The Other Thing That Happens Is…

It’s 5:17 in the DARK morning, I am half way through my workout, but I want to put my artistic vision that blossomed in my heart during the night onto paper. I want to do it NOW.

I find the paper… Do some physical therapy… breathe hard while I get the crayon… do some more PT… breathe… Oh! Blue tape, that will be good. Tape it down… more PT…

…Enough, you get the idea… The Muse had grabbed me. Again.

The other thing that happens when you engage in life in general and in art in particularly is that passion or more exactly enthusiasm fills you with god spirit. The muse grabs you with a vision and pulls you forward into life. The project must be done. The vision must be fulfilled.

Eckhart Tolle talks about three things that fulfill the goal of staying present while DOING -- Acceptance, Enjoyment, or Enthusiasm. (Do you remember that ENTHUSIASM means to have God within. Cool, right?)

One of the indicators that you are in flow is – enjoy what you’re doing.

Flow is the antidote to fear. Obviously, you have noticed the fear mongers are at work in the world…

Stop listening to them. Stop it.

Be in flow more.

You can learn about flow in my class -- Flow and the Magic of Making Art.

The Sky Is Falling?

Do you remember the story? An acorn falls and bops Chicken Little on the head. She panics and dashes around shouting, “The sky is falling! The sky is falling! The sky is falling!” She vows to tell the king and sets off on her journey.

One after the other, she convinces her friends that the sky is falling. She tells them she has evidence that she has heard with her own ears and seen with her own eyes and even a bit of sky hit her in the head. And off they go to see the king who will certainly help them. Along the way they meet Foxy Loxy who offered to show them the way to the king…

He showed them into his den and ate them all up.

In times of scary news reports, what do you do?

I rely on clear headed friends and mentors who show me the BIG picture. I want a perspective that lets me see a bigger, longer term picture clearly. In the financial crisis of 2008, when the news was screaming, “The sky is falling!” The CEO of Vanguard Funds did just that in a little video.

He showed a graph of the single day loss of 20% that occurred back in 1987 (I think). Can you imagine? It’s a terrifying downward spike. Then he pulls back and shows the BIG picture. You can hardly see a blip on the graph. The sky didn’t fall.

You can have a life you wholeheartedly love -- body and soul. Really.

I can help you.

Become a member of Body & Soul Mentor the next time I open the doors for $9.97/month. You can get on the no-obligation waiting list and get a cool podcast that will remind you of what’s truly important.

Fear Reframed

A famous British stage actor used to be horribly frightened before each performance.

One day someone kindly inquired, “How’s your body feel when you’re about to go on stage, when you say you have stage fright? What are the sensations you feel. Just what your senses tell you. Don’t label the sensations.”

“Hmm,” he pondered. “Well, my heart’s racing, I’m breathing high up in my body. I’m on edge…”

“And how do you feel when you’re excited?” his friend continued.

“Oh! It’s the same.”

So, from thenceforth, whenever he was preparing to go on stage and the old stage fright would ramp up, he would just say, “Jeepers, I’m excited.” And he’d be fine.

Try it the next time you’re feeling fear about a new adventure. Just say to yourself, “Holy moly, I’m excited.”

Blessings,

William

Is That a SHARK?!

What scares you?

Here’s a 50-word mini-saga for you. Silver members may read more about the amazing Mini-Saga’s here. = > http://tinyurl.com/2ul5z9

Holy poop! It’s a BIG shark! Swimming my way! Through the cavern twenty feet below me. Swim away slowly at a 90 degree angle. Breathe. Don’t look back, yet. Swim away. The fish aren’t worried. Hmm. Breathe. Head for the beach, hang out with the fish.

I ask again – What scares you?

When you’re present, you can see danger early and clearly. I did. If you stay present, breathe, you can notice the fish aren’t scared. Fish are easier food, bite size, and closer, they don’t even appear to notice this monster predator.
Afterward, back at the beach rental, my research tells me, the fish know. This large guy, five feet long, is the white tipped reef shark who feeds on the bottom, right where I saw him. He likes lobsters not third-aged men.

Fear is the enemy, not sharks. What are the sharks in your day-to-day life? Stay present and notice. You’ll be fine.

Need help with staying present? Get Simply Serene. It will tell you how. Really, it’s a great ebook.
