If time is the space between memories, I wonder what would happen if each night we would forget everything. Every morning we would wake up to a new world. I bet we would feel like babies, excited, totally present, aware, and in a state of wonder.

There would be no time, no past. There would be no tomorrow as tomorrow is only imagination based on the memories from the past. There would be no fear, no anger, no guilt, no shame. As they are only memories of the pain from the past. We would live the joy of NOW. We would be at peace and we would love more.

Upon the awakening, we may ask ourselves I am in my boy or my body is inside of my consciousness?

Am I in the world or the world is inside of me?

What if the path of remembering who we are is practicing forgetting? Do we need to practice amnesia?

Or maybe the path of remembering who we are is about practicing forgiving, accepting, and letting go?

Forgiving is forgetting to judge and criticize yourself first and those are around you. Forgiving is forgetting the pains of separation, mistakes, and failures.

Do we need a dose of amnesia or we can remember to forgive and forget anything that doesn’t serve Truth, Love, Joy, and Peace?

I hope, my reader to help you find your path to being in the NOW.

How can the symptom become medicine to cure it? Are you curious?

We are going to talk about the Paradoxical Theory of Change.

Webster reveals to us that the word paradox is derived from the Greek para (beyond) and dox (opinion). We can also translate it as the “statement contrary to common belief”.

The theory states that change happens when one becomes what he/she is, not when he/she tries to become what he/she is not.

The truth is the more you try to be something that you are not, the more you will stay right where you are.

When it comes to our emotional/mental well-being, we can’t change the way we feel/react only by trying, forcing, or pushing ourselves into what is right. The change in the way we feel/react happens when we invest our time, energy and focus on BECOMING the change.

How?

1. Choose to look at the symptom (negative emotion, uncomfortable feeling, negative thought, or negative behavior) as an opportunity to learn more about yourself;
2. Allow yourself to feel the symptom without trying to change it. Be present with it. Don’t judge it, don’t fight it, don’t run away from it;
3. Allow yourself to ACCEPT the symptom “to the best of your ability”;
4. Repeat these three steps 7 to 12 times or until you become aware that the symptom is disappearing as you are actively accepting it.

Milton Erickson has taught us that whenever a thought or an emotion is completely experienced, it disappears fully.  This is the Paradoxical Theory of Change in action.

Do you know how to shut down fear/anxiety, accelerate healing, learning and perform at your best?

You can accomplish all of these by being in a very specific mind set, one of the states of consciousness we call non-ordinary states.

For thousands of years millions of people all over the world have been practicing meditation, mantras, yantras, qi qong, yoga, and many other methods only to achieve the same states of consciousness, alfa-theta states of brain frequency.
A recent breakthrough in neuro-science has discovered that non-ordinary states allow us to achieve in months what used to take years of diligent practice.

The moment you get into that state, your brain signature changes dramatically. Stress chemicals like cortisol and norepinephrine were momentarily replaced with performance enhancing dopamine, anandamide, serotonin and oxytocin.
A few hours of being in alfa-theta states overwrote years of fearful living. That’s how powerful they are. The science has summarised characteristics of non-ordinary states into four:
1. Selflessness
2. Timelessness
3. Effortlessness
4. Richness

Remember when was the last time or any time when you experienced all four? Remember how it felt to be in the state of almost ecstasy? Free from self, not being aware of time and purely enjoying being in the now?

Running around with friends when you were a child? Watching the starts with the one you love? Laying on the sand of a beautiful beach? Practicing meditation?? Dancing or singing and forgetting yourself? Giving a speech? Last time when you played sports? 
First time when you listened to your favorite song? The time when you have experienced an ecstasy of being in the now, you were in the powerful healing, learning, life enhancing state.
What am I suggesting?

Remember the saying, “follow your Bliss”?
Make it your priority to BE MORE and to DO MORE of what takes you in your Bliss, your ecstasy, your personal non-ordinary states.

This is how you heal yourself. This is how you learn a great amount of information in no time. This is how you grow beyond ordinary. 

Non-ordinary states of consciousness train us to become extraordinary people, to live the lives of purpose, devotion and service.

Take a moment and look at your past. How much did you learn from you own suffering, the changes in life, the failures and losses? How did those unfortunate events, traumas, losses, and failures push you to adapt, to create and to find the strength within yourself instead of looking for resources, support and help on the outside.

How much can we learn about ourselves from a place of losing control? What would it take for us to end the suffering that only comes from us holding onto the past and to the old? What would it take for us to stop trying to avoid change, and stop protecting ourselves from the unknown-new?

How can we grow into our greatness, to be inspired and to let go of old? If you are not holding onto the old, you are flowing with the change. When we accept and adjust, we begin to see opportunities where we only saw uncertainties.

What would it take for you to make a choice to not resist life, but to be inspired by changes? How do you step into your inspirational identity? Where do you start to embody the resilience and grit that is inside of you?

Step 1: Choose courage
Choose to BE courageous enough to accept what is happening in your life. Being brave and courageous to see your reality just the way it is, without trying to avoid it or resist it.

Step 2: Acceptance
As you are beginning to accept what is happening in your life, you will transcend your own negative emotions and you will transform the outside circumstances to your greatsurprise.

Step 3: Love
Unconditional acceptance is LOVE. When you accept somebody with no conditions, you love them. As you accept your emotions and the conditions unconditionally, you begin to heal yourself and you begin to heal your life with love in a powerful way.

These are three steps that will move you from desperation to inspiration; from fear to freedom, from mediocracy to your own greatness.

Choose to step forward.

The Law of entanglement shows us that two particles that were at some point connected remain connected forever, even when they are light-years apart. This is what happens to people when they are connected by what we humans call Love.
There is too much of the physical disconnect in the world now. It seems that the universe is teaching us to become aware of The different levels of our connections, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
The Law of entanglement reminds us that we are ALL connected. That connection is LOVE. Love is what has brought us into this world.

Whether or not we are aware of the Law of entanglement doesn’t really matter. Because we will continue affecting each other and being connected to each other anyway.
Vow to end anger, aggression, and fear within yourself. Choose to make love and compassion your way to connect with the world.
We can only be free when we are all free. We can only be happy when we are all happy. Stay connected, my dear reader.

I have found five daily practices that take me on the path of happiness:

1. Practice to be fully present in the now
2. Train yourself to accept your own feelings
3. Practice letting go of judgment
4. Establish and move towards your “feeling goals”
5. Take time to cultivate peace within

Inspired by the work of Eckhart Tolle

“Beyond happiness and unhappiness there is a peace”

What did you wish for your loved ones on Christmas eve? Happiness?
Take a look at your journal from 10 years ago. Look at the list of the things you wanted for yourself back then. How many of them do you have now? Have those things made you happy?
If I get married, I will be happy; if I get my PHD, I will be happy; if I buy my next house, I will be happy…
Nothing wrong with wanting to have more and to be more. Only when we look back, 90% of the time, things we possessed didn’t make us Happy.
“There is nothing we need to have, to do and to be in order to be happy”. And yet we spend our entire life trying to buy, achieve, manifest and attract happiness.
When we get what we want, it makes us happy for a moment and then it leaves us with the need for the next want.
When we didn’t achieve the goal, when we couldn’t get that next thing the clash between our expectations and reality makes us unhappy. We begin to dread our future and run away from the past, thus creating more anxiety and fear instead of happiness.
What if beyond the duality of being happy or unhappy there is a space within us that is filled with acceptance of both?
What if we can start learning to BE HAPPY by accepting more of our lives just the way they are right now?
What if the ultimate happiness cares less about outcomes and focuses more on being in the process?
Mind is synonymous with resistance. Happiness is unconditional acceptance of what is. it means that happiness can’t be in the mind. Happiness is not the MIND. Where does happiness come from?
From peace, as peace is unconditional acceptance of what is.
It is the acceptance of what is that manifests good that has no opposite. And peace includes the opposite of it.
As you continue working on setting up your goals for 2021, make a list of your goals, look at them and make a promise to yourself to take actions and achieve those goals. Not because you hope this will make you happy, but because you are committing to invest in your journey, invest in yourself, in changing, in becoming and growing in spite of the outcome.
Shift your focus from the outcome to the process, from the results to your growth; from fear of not getting it to the excitement of becoming; from duality into unity; from drama to peace into the ultimate happiness that includes both sides of life.
To your unconditional happiness of peace and acceptance in 2021!

“You can’t create miracles. They are gifts from the Divine. What you can do is to put yourself in the Miracle Zone…”

Marci Shimanoff

In the unpredictable world we now live in, just being nice is limiting. It is time to be great. It is time to grow from being nice to becoming great. It is imperative for us to step into Mastery, which requires you to see your own greatness first and to embody it, to become it, to live it, and to share it with the world.

The time we live in offers us exponential growth from the certainty of old into the uncertainty of new. From the limitations of old into the infiniteness of new. From working hard and creating your reality into receiving Miracles. It’s time to move into the Miracles zone.

There are a few Obstacles that are holding us from receiving Miracles:

Obstacle # 1: Holding on when It’s Time to Let Go
Often good is the enemy of great. In order to receive greatness, we need to let go of what was merely good enough, the comfortable and the limiting old within ourselves and in our lives.

Obstacle #2: Not thinking you’re Worthy of Miracles
This is why it is important to transition from being a nice person into becoming a great person. Being a nice person is about looking for people’s approval, love, likes…
Being worthy of receiving goodness in your life is about learning to accept and love yourself, rather then trying to be liked by others.

Obstacle #3: Being rigidly focused on manifesting your goals, rather than your Soul’s desires.
Great goals come from the greatest part of you, your Soul. When you are in aliment with your Soul desires rather than ego, you are free to dream big, receive big, and create big.

Obstacle #4: Setting up actions Goals, rather than Feelings Goals.
Actions come from feelings. You can’t act if you don’t feel like doing it. In order to change the form, we need to transform the formless substance, the feelings inside of us. Add Feeling goals into your Goal setting for 2021.

Wishing you unlimited success and infinite freedom to be your best self in 2021 and always.

How we relate to these experiences from the past is how we are unconsciously mapping our future. “Who you are today, is the result of the stories you tell yourself about your past”.

Do you desire to be free from the past and to create an amazing future for yourself?

Before the end of December,

• Make a list of the most significant events of your life.
• Next to each event write a few lines on how you feel NOW when you think about that event
• If the memory brings a strong feeling of fear, desperation, worry, anger, loss, sadness, guilt or grief…
• Ask yourself, what is my belief behind this feeling?
• Then ask yourself Will my life be better in 2021 if I hold on to this belief?

If the answer is NO, then allow yourself to feel the feeling that holds the belief together. Allow the feeling to be. Don’t fight it, don’t judge it, don’t run away from it. Just let the feeling be and let yourself be present with the feeling for a few moments.

• Accept the feeling to the best of your ability, thus transcending the feeling underneath of the old belief.
• Next, bless the old belief and release it to the past that is behind you.
• Ask yourself What is my new belief? Imagine yourself in the future living with the new belief.
• Feel how it feels to live your truth and breath in that new feeling into you.
• When you are full, send that feeling into your future that is in front of you.

Bless your past and create your future in advance!

The following day his stallion came back together with a few more horses. The neighbour came and said, “This is great that you have found three more horses”. The man responded “Good thing, bad thing. Who knows?”

A few weeks later the son of the man went on a horse ride and broke his arm. The neighbour came in and said, “That is awful that your son has broken his arm”. The man responded “Good thing, bad thing. Who knows?”

A few weeks later, the war started and the son of the man had to be drafted in the army. But because his arm was still not fully healed, he was allowed to stay home. The neighbour came and said, “This is great that your son stays home”. The man responded “Good thing, bad thing. Who knows?”

The story goes on and on… The truth is there is no such thing as good or bad things, for we do not know what door that situation could open next.

Observe how quickly you label things in your life. Hold the judgement. Tell yourself “Good thing, bad thing, who knows”.

This way of looking at life will help you to accept WHAT IS and to be at peace with your life. Acceptance of WHAT IS, is a way to open the door to infinite possibilities.

If you apply the timeless wisdom of Sufis in your life, I bet you too will surprise yourself with how much easier your life will become.

To your success in 2021!
