Does Britney have love linked to Pain and Drama

Everyone wants to feel loved, and yet 50% of all marriages end in divorce, similar to Britneys. Love's Secret Live Your Life In Love, offers couples an action plan to leave pain and drama behind and create love.

When a child is conditioned to experience love only when it feels pain or trauma love becomes wired neurologically to pain. Once this conditioning is set, they continue to recreate pain and drama in an attempt to feel love. This is a conflicting belief system and could be the underlying cause of 50% of all marriages that fail.

Love's Secret offers couples proven tools to cut love's connection to pain and drama. The Secret and The Law of attraction offer couples the awareness that what they think, is what they attract. Yet most couples feel stuck in pain and lack the skills to bring about the change they desire. http://www.retreatandheal.com Visit our website, or amazon.com and order your copy of Love's Secret.

Al Gore gets Nobel Prize--in time for national blogging day

National blog day to make a difference is October 15. Al Gore was just awarded a nobel prize for his work with global warming. Many still deny any relationship between global warming and emissions and co2. Yet, extreme weather conditions are happening daily if anyone is aware. For the first time in history the summer was so extremely hot that the northwest passage is open for shipping. Fires in the west, in Florida, and more hurricanes than ever in history with typhoons in China, and tsunami's leave our world in turmoil.

Still in reading blogs I have noticed that some still deny a relationship with our changing weather patterns and global warming. It is apparent that our leaders are not concerned with our health and environment--simply money, and power. Until we wake up and decide to make our voices heard and demand that our leaders take steps to produce healthier alternatives for transporation our future is unsure.

The technology is available for producing electric and other alternative fueled cars. In a state like Arizona the technology is available for solar energy yet the solar cells are still not affordable for mainstream. What can we do to make a difference? Direct our money where our values are. Don't buy new vehicles, until the industry produces vehicles that are better for our environment.

Passion test can love last beyond initial passion--Love's Secret has the answer

Passion pulls couples together and then pain can push love relationships apart. Passion and Pain seem to be the universal love dance. Many in hollywood are drawn together by passion and then soon pushed apart by the pain of past hurts and trauma.

Pregnant Christina Aguilera and her husband Jordan Bratman, announces her baby registry. After losing custody, of her children Britney Spears reunites with her mother. James Van Der Beek, slow dances with wife Heather McComb to "The Joker" at West Hollywood hot spot Winston's. Also there Julia Roberts and husband Danny Moder, dressed down in jeans, dancing and holding each other close. Brad Pitt and Angelina are ready for their fifth child and direct their passion toward creating affordable housing, eco issues, and other world issues.

The love relationship is not always easy to survive and keep the embers of passion alive and blazing. Love's Secret tip for today is to find an anchor tool to bring you back to love. As a couple if you are commited to the relationship then agree to find a word to keep you focused on love. When life brings up old habits and issues that push your buttons agree to bring your focus back to love. When you consistently bring your focus back to what is most important in your life you can establish new love habits. As you reclaim your power, you can choose to leave pain and drama in the past.

Typhoon Korsa landed in China--16th typhoon to hit China this year

Creating peace in a world with environmental changes and disasters, economic and financial change and uncertainty--is a challenge. Love's Secret offers tools to create inner peace in the midst of the chaos. World peace starts with creating inner peace.

October 15 is national blogging to make a difference and this year it is focused on the environment. What can we all do to make a difference? The first step is take individual responsibility to create inner peace and take action to send that inner peace into your community, state, country and then to the planet. Take action steps each day to take your power back from packaged foods and buy locally. Purchase foods, herbs, and products that are produced as close to your home as possible. Eat at home and avoid take out and driving to eat out. Recycle your plastics, cans, and cardboard. This is a practice that takes some time and for many has not yet become a habit. Demand electric car alternatives and plug in technology for our cars. Our environment will not change until we stand up and take action and demand car makers to create cars that are more environmentally friendly. We can reduce the co2, if we all speak up, speak out and take action and only then will we be heard.

Take action to take your power back from chaos and habits that rob your inner peace. Once you have more inner peace you will have more energy to take action steps for the environment. Decide what you want in your life and commit 15 minutes each day to visualize our world at peace and then see yourself living your life at peace, in tune with the law of attraction. Once you know what your want and commit your energy to it you will create it.

"Make your dream relationship a reality. Follow Annie's love vision to live your life in love with the love of your life." Author of Inside the Atom, Dr. Don Engelhardt

Winning the love relationship dance requires skill and a game plan. It doesn’t happen by chance. Love relationship's dance floor is riddled with mine fields from past hurts and traumas. Love’s Secret provides a vision for love, and proven tools and solutions to release the past, and keep you focused on love.

Today's Love's Secret tip is to spend time reflecting and get in touch with what you want. Next, create a vision of what you want in life. Most people travel through life without a clue as to what they want, and end up living their life by default. This is like going on a very expensive and important vacation without a map. Once you know what you want, create a vision of how you want your life to be. Then commit to 15 minutes each day to be quiet and focus on your vision.

You are worth 15 minutes each day to create your dream life and relationship. Send me your questions or comments on how to create your vision or for a love's vision template go to http://www.retreatandheal.com/products.html and purchase your copy of Love's Secret.

Britney's Emotions out of control??

Britney seems to have her emotions on auto-pilot? Her emotions appear to be out of control and she seems lost as to how to change it? Dr Phil says it might be time to commit her??

You may not be as lost as Britney, but still experiencing emotional pain, and need some tools. Love's Secret offers proven emotional self help to focus your self and your energy.

Love's Secret, similar to The Secret, and both relationship self help books, offer answers about the wife relationship role, and the husband relationship role, and how to focus on love. Self therapy tools are offered in Love's Secret and today's tip is to remain present and take your emtions off auto-pilot. An easy tool to stay present is also referred to as self yoga. Yoga means union so as you create union within your body, mind, and spirit, it becomes easier to stay present.

To take your emotions off auto-pilot you must create more union within with your self yoga. This means becoming aware of words, thoughts, and habits that cause you to either shut down or create inner battles. When thoughts spin out of control within this creates anxiety, depression, and frustration. As you take you power back from habituated thought patterns and habits it becomes easier through self yoga to create inner peace.

Practice self-yoga today and repeat the mantra "I choose to feel safe, and experience inner peace." Notice any thoughts that might arise that try to pull you out of inner peace. As you notice these thoughts through your self yoga stay centered and choose to release the thoughts. Notice your reaction to life and your relationships and keep bringing yourself back to "inner peace."

Dr. Phil gives Britney advice!

Will Britney wake up and take Dr Phil's advice or lose her children permently? According to recent research millions of children have parents who are addicted to drugs. Take your power back from old habits that cause drug and alcohol addiction. Drug and alcohol addiction destroy marriages and cause extreem pain and trauma for children.

Why reach for drugs and alcohol to numb your emotions? Most would agree that they reach for drugs and alcohol to numb painful emotions. Emotional Freedom Technique is a proven tool to disolve old hurt and trauma and assist in taking your power back from addiction.

Love's Secret tip for the day to stay focused on love is to learn which emotions you are avoiding. You may learn that you are addicted to certain emotions and attract situations that recreate these emotions. Start an emotions journal to learn which emotions you recreate that keep you either angry, resentful, or frustrated. You will discover emotions that you recreate often, and then shut down with drugs and alcohol. Once you become familiar with how you are creating your emotional hell then you can contact someone professisonally to assist you to remove the emotional addiction that causes you to reach for your substance addiction. This can be drugs, alcohol, food, sex, or relationships there are many different addicitons.

Retreats are a good way to take yourself out of your environment and spend time doing some inner reflection to find the root to your emotional pain and addiction. Post your questions or comments and I will respond with further tools and support.

Britney loses her children--could Love's Secret help??

Young people are seeking escape through numbing drugs, alcohol, and or prescription drugs to releive pain, and escape reality. Britney was on top of the charts and for a while seemed to have it all. Did she hit the big time before she had the emotional maturity to handle stardom? Do young people bring children into the picture by choice or by accident? What can we do to guide our youth to make better more responsible choices?

Love's Secret offers hope for all ages to release pain and drama and create love. The tip today is to own your emotions and learn that you are not your emotions. Learn to breathe and resist the urge to shut down and disown whatever you are feeling. Yoga, tai chi, jogging, tennis, handball, biking while you are feeling you emotions will help to move the emotions and then release them. Shutting down and numbing emotions only postpones the pain and is not a solution.

Next time you are feeling sad, angry, hurt, dissappointed, guilty, fearful or anxious take the opportunity to move the energy by taking a walk. Name the emotion and as you walk make a conscious decision to let it go ie, I am releasing this fear with each step and choosing to feel safe.

Emotional Freedom in Your Relationship

Do you feel emotionally free within your relationship? Love's Secret tip for today is to empty your bag of emotions that you carry from your past.

Old emotions are like a sore from the past that gets reinjured over and over in your day to day life. Until you clear that sore and heal it completly you allow your past to affect your daily experiences and your future.

Complete with your emotions from the past in order to stay current with your emotions and stay connected to love. EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique is an energy technique that releases pain from the past to keep you focused on love. This technique has you concentrate on what you are feeling and give it a scale ie 0-10. If you are feeling angry or hurt you rate how angry or hurt you are feeling and give it a number. Then you repeat positive phrases and tap on points connected to the energy meridians in your body. For more indepth explanation follow this link www.retreatandheal.com/EFT_Tools.html and view a video.

Once you have completed with old emotions it becomes easier to stay connected to your mate and focus on love.

Lack of Sleep May Be Deadly

People who do not get enough sleep are more than twice as likely to die of heart disease, according to a large British study released on Monday. Many couples who don't know how to express their emotions spend sleepless nights tossing and turning.

Love's Secret offers tools through "heart expression" sessions to stay current with your emotions and stay connected to love. Here is a tip to express yourself and resist the urge to shut down.

Set aside time each week for a heart expression session. Turn off the phones, tv, and light a candle. When you light the candle set the intention to stay connected to love and to your heart. Take a couple of minutes in silence before you begin to speak. During this silence each partner takes time to visualize the things they love about the other partner. This establishes a heart connection. Next each partner takes turns expressing themselves, always using terms like "I feel and I want" ie: "I feel that I am not being heard and I want us to stay connected and continue to feel the love we did when we first met."

By establishing guidelines for communication from your heart you will stay connected. You will build a solid foundation for love and resist old habit of shutting down which destorys love. Old habits are sometimes hard to break and require a commitment. In order to live your live in love with the one you love you must make love your priority and focus on love.

Do you have Love linked to pain?

As a child how did you get attention or feel loved? For many the only time they felt love from their parent was when they had an injury either physical or emotional. As a child this learned habit was reinforced over and over and created a pattern still gets repeated unconsciously. This habit of creating emotional pain and and drama to create a feeling of being loved becomes an automatic response to life. Many have become comfortable with their self created hell. The Secret, and The Law of Attraction teach that whatever is focused on is what is attracted. For those stuck in pain and drama, they must recognize the root of their self creation, in order to change their life.

Love's Secret offers answers to cut the neuro connections linking love to pain and drama. In order to be happy, a choice must be made, along with a commitment to change the old habit and addiction to negative emotions.

Love's Secret tip today is to release the past and take your power back from an addiction to pain and drama. Begin an emotions journal. Make a commitment to your own healing and journal each day for ten minutes in the morning and evening just before bed. Notice what you are feeling and use EFT to tap on whatever the emotion is just before going to sleep. As you fall asleep hold a vision of yourself happy and living your life in love with your mate. Feel how good it feels to be happy. As you continue to practice this exercise you will notice your life getting happier and happier.

Is Your Relationship Making You Sick??

When couples disagree and then shut down and give each other the silent treatment it has been proven to create health problems. Married women who keep silent during marital disputes have a greater chance of dying from heart disease and other conditions than women who speak their minds, research shows. The research, from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, was the latest to show that how couples fight affects not only their relationship but their health.

And a 2003 study in the journal Archives of General Psychiatry found that after marital spats, blisters generally healed more slowly, a sign that stress interfered with immune system functioning. In hostile couples — those who hurled insults or rolled their eyes when arguing — healing was 60 percent slower than in couples who didn't display antagonistic behaviors, the study showed.

Love's Secret offers couples easy to apply tools to release emotions and stay connected to love. Couples who learn to express their emotions have a greater chance of long term success in their relationships. Use this tip to stay focused on love when you are discussing an issue that brings discord. Find a word that has meaning to both you and your mate. This word can be anything that will bring you both back to your love. It can be as simple as "focus on LOVE" or "what is important" or whatever will work for the two of you. When one person repeats the word agree to each take a deep breath and for a moment back away. When you take a breather focus on what is important to you. And most importantly remind yourself that you are committed to stay connected and release the emotions are causing you to want to shut down.

Many times arguments are over little things and couples allow little things that don't matter to push love out of their life. Comment on my post and give me your ideas and secrets that help you stay connected to love.

Electric Cars can make a difference

Today's tip is that we as a society need to focus on how to save our environment and demand change. We as a whole have allowed corporations and big money to control our lives and our natural resources. Money, greed, and power have dominated their decisions about how our natural resources have been used and now we find ourselves with global warming. Which is bringing natural disasters more frequently including tsunamis, typhoons, hurricanes, mudslides, flooding, drought, and drastic weather all over the planet.

Our best hope is to stand up for our rights and ask our government officials to focus on the changes that can be made immediately. Electric cars is one of the first steps that can reduce pollution and global warming immediately. The other initiative that can be demanded is to bring the cost of solar electricity down to reasonable levels that make it affordable for the average person.

We can bring the changes that we want to see if we stand up and make our voices heard. Many answers to global warming and alternative energy production have been offered and have been stopped. We no longer have time to waste we either speak out now or our children suffer the consequences for our lack of action.

Blogging to Make a difference

Each day for the next 23 days I will be sharing something I feel can make a difference for the environment. I hope that you will join me to share your ideas and opinions. Yesterday I shared that Mattel is saying oooops! We all need to take a look at that and decide to make a difference by making purchases as locally as possible.

The old herbalist believed that there was a cure for any ailments we might have that grows wild within a ten mile radius. Most have become so removed from the earth and the environment that they would never recognize a remedy if it were available. Sometimes the cure is the dandelion or other "weeds" that are being killed with pesticides.

My tip for today is to reconnect with the environment where you live. Look around and what can you do to make a difference? One simple thing that we do often is when we are in nature we carry a bag and pick up trash. Stay aware and give me your tips to make a difference!

Mattel sorry for 'design flaws'

Can we trust packing anymore? First it's food and medicine and now it hits home even deeper in our children's toys. Guess we better get back to trusting our gut. Not good to be eating food and drugs from outside our own area and environment. We have to get back to buying things inside our own country.

Buy local and eat local and buy toys made here in the USA.

Bloggers unite to make a difference

On October 15 all bloggers are invited to blog together on the environment. The goal is to bring awareness to creating the change that we all want to see. So join us and blog about what you want to see. How can we create a world of people who hold themselves accountable? We all want to see the world as a healthy place for our children and grandchildren let's unite to create it.

My view of what we can do. A very simple step is to stop the use of all those plastic bags that are convenient but create clutter and then have to be recycled. Purchase a few cloth bags for grocery store and other purchases and use them.

I will be sharing ideas each day on how to take personal responsibility for being the change we want to see. Share your ideas and I look forward to hearing from you.

Internet Dating causing loss of intimacy

Many people wanting to avoid the pick up scenes are resorting to online internet sites to search for partnership. Some complain of falling in love with the profile of their intended and being disappointed with the live person. How do you avoid falling in love with a person who you have created in your head. Here are some tips for finding the person of your dreams and keeping yourself grounded in reality.

1. Create a vision of what you want to create in a relationship. Write down all the things you would love to find in your perfect partner.

2. Once you have found someone you think shows potential set up a public place to meet. Make sure that you set up this meeting shortly after you have made your contact to avoid falling in love in your head with someone who may not exist in person.

3. Once you have met your potential partner, then trust your gut. If you feel that they have not presented themselves as their true self move on. For many people it is much easier to have an intimate relationship via the internet than in person. A partnership requires the ability to communicate in person, negotiate differences, and create compromises to make love and intimacy last long term.

4. Once you have met look back over your list and vision, be realistic, and don't settle for something that doesn't fit. Many times you want intimacy so bad that you settle for something that you know is not a good long term relationship.

Smokers risk aging skin with acne

A study of 1,000 women found over 40% those who smoked had non-inflammatory acne, characterized by blocked pores, large white heads and small cysts. Smoking is already known to cause premature aging of the skin. Many of the smokers who I have worked with confess that they don't like the smell of smoke or the way smoking controls their life. Many have become closet smokers and have shame and guilt around their smoking. While they don't like smoking many find themselves powerless to quit on their own.

A smoker of 30 years, who visited our retreat center last year, recently wrote to say thanks for helping her to release cigarettes. She shared: After feeling controlled by cigarettes for over 30 years I have been free since my visit to Sedona. The EFT session with you flipped a switch in my head and I have not craved cigarettes since that day. It is a wonderful feeling to take my power back from the nasty habit. I feel much more energy and in addition I have released 40 pounds since that same visit.

It is a wonderful feeling to assist guests to find the strength within themselves to take their power back from cigarettes. COPD is an umbrella term for a range of progressive chronic lung diseases, such as emphysema and bronchitis, which block the airways and restrict oxygen flow around the body. More than a million people who smoke are thought to have COPD, but many have not been diagnosed.

If you are a smoker you can take your power back and choose not to smoke. EFT and Hypnotherapy are a powerful tool to assist in releasing the urge to smoke.

Saudi women challenge driving ban

As a woman I started driving at age 15 as most American women do. I grew up on a farm in Tennessee where women were dominated by their husbands. However this level of domination is completely unimaginable, and I hope the Saudi women can win their independence.

Speaking of independence,let's look at some of the other things we need to take our power back from, like old habits. What habit do you have that you would like to claim independence from? I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist and I also work with EFT to assist people to take their power back from habits. I have great results assisting clients to stop smoking, loose weight, and take their power back from depression and other addictive emotions. You might be thinking-- are emotions addictive? More on that later.

Hi-tech crime is big business

This morning I read this head-line and by noon I got a call that my business card had suspicious activity on it. We all can become a target for this crime and yes, my business credit card got hit. How, I don't know but I have become accustomed to doing a lot of business over the internet.

In looking more closely this card has a word virus listed right on the card NO HASSLE. And yes, it just became a huge hassle. My card had to be canceled and a new one reissued. It is an interesting life to keep a positive outlook when things take a downward spiral. The good news is that the $2000 western union wire transfer that was made to my card will not be my responsibility. Somewhere out there someone just made away with $2000 and it seems to be easier than robbing a bank and if this is happening all over the word it can be just as lucrative. When it happens to us personally it hits home how widespread the crime is.

Love's Secret offers tools to live life in love!

A 13 year study found that many newlyweds are far from blissfully in love. Couples whose marriages begin in romantic bliss are particularly divorce-prone because such intensity is too hard to maintain. Believe it or not, marriages that start out with less "Hollywood romance" usually have more promising futures. Huston, a pioneer in the psychology of relationships, launched the Processes of Adaptation in Intimate Relationships (the "PAIR Project") in 1981, in which he followed 168 couples--drawn from marriage license records in four counties in a rural and working-class area of Pennsylvania--from their wedding day through 13 years of marriage.

The conclusion of the 13 year study showed evidence that couples who were still successfully married had maintained positive loving intimacy. Love's Secret empowers couples with communication skills to build love habits, ignite passion, and keep romance alive.

Major Corporation using the word virus

A new version of the word virus showed up in my mailbox today from a major credit card company. An invitation to sign up for a new card, and part of their offer was that receiving their card=NO WORRIES.

In a world of plastic and a slow economy, over spending with a credit card can bring lots of worries. And since our subconscious mind doesn't hear no we are being bombarded with either "no problem" or now a new version of the word virus is sprouting up as "No Worries". Technorati Profile

Word Virus on Auto Pilot

Are your words on auto pilot? Awareness is the first step to change a habit. Words are our tools for creation but when they are on auto pilot we continue to create the same things we have always created. We can get stuck in a comfortable chaotic world.

Most of the guests who come to us at Retreat and Heal come to us seeking inner peace and clarity. Unless you are willing to go through a period of being uncomfortable in becoming present in your current situation--you are powerless to change.

Examine the words you use on a daily basis and commit to change your word diet. Once you become aware of words you have become conditioned to repeat, you are empowered to choose your words. Awareness allows you to use words to express who you are and what you want in your life. The old saying "as long as you do what you have always done you will continue to get what you have always got."

For some change is a challenge. If you want to create a better world with your words then make peace with change. Don Miquel Ruiz's book Four Agreements, just like my book, Love's Secret, offers tools to live life in choice and create more love and passion for life.

Become present and aware of your words and take them off auto pilot. You are then empowered to create more joy, happiness, and love in your life.

The Secret, The Power of Now, Law of Attraction, and Words

The Secret, The Power of Now, Law of Attraction, are all popular and a lot of us have read these books. Many in main stream society have the working knowledge but are lacking in skills for living the secret and the law of attraction. I live in Sedona, Arizona and I am sure if you did a poll here 99 % of the people have read The Secret, Law of Attraction, Power of Now, and all the popular books, cd's and watched the videos. Yet there is a "word virus" that runs rampant everywhere in our current society. It is "No Problem" and my intention is to raise awareness of the widespread use and it's effects.

Do we see our world riddled with problems and lack the ability to control our words to create what we want? Most of us are aware that like attracts like, and if we see our world as a problem, then problems is what we will attract. Let's all intend to raise the awareness of words and clean up our word diet.

If you end a conversation saying "no problem" you are leaving a bad after taste with your friends, family, or co-workers. In order to avoid inviting problems into their life as well as yours, you must take your words off auto-pilot.

Word Virus creating problems world wide!

Is the NP virus running rampant in your life?? Have you ever noticed the answer that has become automatic everywhere you go even on TV, phone conversations, check out lanes in the grocery, through most work environments. To the point that many companies have even adopted a "no problem" attitude.

The subconscious mind doesn't recognize negatives like no and only hears "problem." Therefore those who continually repeat over and over problem throughout their day are creating their "problems" by using the law of attraction.

I would like to hear from you and have you share your thoughts. I have found that if I bring it to the attention of those saying this negative phrase it can really push buttons.
