Where are you putting your attention?

I recall reading a story about a man who lived in a perfect city. Everywhere he went he saw smiling faces and buildings crafted by hand by the worlds best artisans. Everything was beautiful and in appreciating that beauty, he felt happy and content.

One day the man went for a walk to enjoy the sunshine and the smiling faces. As he turned down a street he had walked down many times, his attention was drawn to a pothole. Goodness, he thought, a pothole? The city fathers have allowed a pothole to ruin the perfection of my walk? Goodness!

And on his way home all he could think about was the pothole. How did this happen and he went through scenario after scenario trying to figure it out. And the more he thought about that single pothole the unhappier he became.

Every day he’d go out for his walk, but wouldn’t you know it, he always ended up on the street with the pothole. He just couldn’t take his eyes off it. It drew him like a magnet and all of his thoughts were centered on that pothole even though the rest of the city was still perfectly beautiful and still filled with happy smiling faces.

He could no longer see the smiling faces or nor could he enjoy the beauty that surrounded him. All he could think about was that single ugly pothole.

Where is your focus? Are all of your thoughts centered on the pothole or can you lift your eyes to see the beauty that surrounds you? There will always be potholes. Life is filled with potholes, but must our gaze always be drawn to them alone?

Lift up your eyes and see the beauty that surrounds you. Make it your daily task to appreciate just one thing and your gaze will be lifted from the pothole. You’ll know it’s still there, but it’s much more interesting and satisfying to watch the things that give you pleasure. Before long, the potholes of the world will seem to disappear leaving you enraptured by the beauty you see all around you.

It’s all a matter of where you choose to put your attention.

Dealing Effectively with Anger - 5 Day Plan

All of us feel anger at times in our lives, and as long as we can acknowledge it and feel it fully, it flows through us and causes no harm. However, when we suppress it, when we hold it in and don’t feel safe expressing that anger, watch out!

I was born into a household with a very angry father and a mother who sought to deal with that anger by ignoring it. Showing anger was a very bad thing and must never be expressed, consequently I was beaten or chastised every time I expressed my own anger. I soon learned to mask my anger, to push it down and I learned that lesson very well.

As the years went on I became more and more angry inside. Life had a way of putting me in situations that triggered that anger. I can recall one situation when I owned a computer sales and repair facility in my hometown of Peterborough Canada. My mother had just passed away a few days before and I did not deal with that well. I was angry at myself for this and took my anger out on everyone around me.

On this particular day I was dealing with two young men who came into my store to buy a computer. They were like young men everywhere, trying to appear more knowledgeable than they really were. For some reason they really pissed me off and one thing led to another and before I knew it I literally tossed them out of the store. That is not good for business especially in a small town!

I was not a fun person to be around. I just couldn’t relax and I always felt like I had a tiger inside me just waiting to jump out. People around me could feel that anger and many were actually afraid of me, and for good reason. They could sense that I was a tinderbox just waiting for the next spark. It’s very difficult to like yourself when you so angry and the worst part is, I didn’t even know why. I didn’t have a clue.

I learned to cope as many do. I read book after book on the subject and understood it all on an intellectual level, but the anger and the rage remained. Untouched by my efforts to “understand it”.

The cost of unexpressed anger on a personal level can be enormous. It slowly eats away at your cardiovascular system, your stomach and throws your nervous system into chaos. When you become angry it’s like suddenly you’re on a dark railroad track heading for God knows where. You stop thinking and start reacting. You literally go unconscious and from that unconscious state almost anything can happen and none of it good. It can destroy relationships, jobs and cherished dreams for the future. In an instant!

A good percentage of people currently serving time in prison are there simply because they could not control their anger. Unexpressed anger costs everyone billions of dollars a year to treat its physical effects on the human body and on society as a whole.

Below you will find a daily plan to release your anger completely. It takes only 10 to 15 minutes a day and lasts 5 days. At the end of that period most if not all of that inner anger will be released and all you need to do is follow the plan. If you haven’t already done so, please read the ZPoint Quick Start Tutorial to install the ZPoint Healing Program and gain an understanding on how to apply ZPoint to yourself. You my wish to print it out and have it handy as you work through each days exercise.

Day 1 - Think of the last time you became angry. Allow yourself to feel that anger within you and repeat the following statement to yourself:

Whenever I think about or remember becoming angry, I feel… <cue>

This will bring any unexpressed anger to the surface where you can release it using the Process. Simply read each clearing statement one at a time as outlined in the Tutorial. Remember to repeat your cue word like a mantra after reading each statement. When you finish, you’ll feel much much better. It’s really very simple yet profoundly effective in releasing the unexpressed anger within you.

Please note that most people repress their anger which means that you may not be fully in touch with how angry you really are. Many people who have used this exercise report that they may actually feel more angry and irritated after going through the exercise for the first time. This is not a bad thing as our intention is always to release the deepest aspects of our anger so that we may free ourselves to live a much more peaceful and pleasant life.

If you find this happening to you, simply go through the exercise again. Each time you do so, you will be releasing more and more of that anger.

Day 2 - Carry out the above exercise again. You should find it much easier to get in touch with your anger and going through the Process will make you feel wonderfully relaxed and peaceful.

Day 3 - Make a list of the things that trigger your anger. Be honest with yourself. Think of these triggers as you repeat the opening statement, “Whenever I think about becoming angry, I feel…” <cue> and work your way through the clearing statements. It shouldn’t take more than a few minutes. Pay attention to how relaxed and peaceful you feel when you finish.

Day 4 - Go back over your list of things that make you angry. Do you notice a change in how you respond to the items on that list? You may find that some items no longer bother you at all. Think of the ones that still upset you and go through the exercise again for those items. During your day, pay close attention to your actual response to those things that make you angry. You should now begin to see a big difference in how you are responding.

Day 5 - Pull out your list again and read it over. Typically many items on that list won’t bother you at all. If anything remains that upsets you, go through the exercise at least one more time until you are feeling wonderfully relaxed and peaceful.

A very effective way of doing this is to do it with a friend, especially one who shares your anger issues. Set a time each day to meet in person or on the phone and go through the days exercise. A few minutes a day spent releasing your anger together will pay huge dividends to yourselves and to everyone you meet.

One final note. Most people who take the time to release their anger notice that they begin to lose weight. I think this is a very pleasant side effect of releasing the deeply held anger within themselves. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if it worked the same way with you?

Please try the above 5 day plan and let me know how you make out. I’d love to hear your success story.

Grant

P.S. Starting August 4th at 10am EDT I will begin a daily telecall series that includes exercises to release anger. We will meet daily for 21 days and release those things that bother us and align with the circumstances or relationships that bring us happiness. For more information, click on this link.

Coming into alignment with what you really want

Recently I posted about a 2 day ZPoint Intensive I was to be holding here in Toronto in early August geared toward training future ZPoint Practitioners.

Yesterday I was speaking with someone about signing up for the training and I realized that I really didn’t care whether they signed up or not. What a terrible feeling that was. When I thought about just teaching ZPoint for 2 full days, even though I love doing it, I felt no positive energy around it at all.

When I realized that I had no passion for doing the class, I decided to go for a walk and think about it. So, I started off in my usual manner, simply repeating my cue with each step and enjoying the sunshine. The further I walked, the more peaceful I became and then about halfway through my walk it hit me. Don’t you love it when that happens.

I realized that my joy comes not from teaching ZPoint specifically, but from personally leading people through the Process to find more peace within themselves and to help them to see their lives from a higher more abundant perspective. I love doing this more than anything!

In that moment I acknowledged that I am a healer first, last and always and that my job is to help people let go of the past and actually start manifesting those things that will make them happy and fulfilled. I also realized that in helping people do this and showing them how to do it for themselves, I would be following my own inner voice and that voice always leads me to personal happiness and fulfillment.

And so today I rewrote everything. The 2 day Intensive I have planned here in Toronto has but one goal in mind; to help you become very clear about what you want to allow in your life and what you don’t.

During the Intensive we will focus exclusively on releasing those things that you no longer serve your happiness, those things that are no longer filled with passion and to help you align with what you REALLY want. There is great power in simply knowing what you want.

When you know what you want, the whole world lends a hand to help you get it. People who are passionate about whatever they do inspire others to do the same. Living without knowing what you really want and seeing no possibility of achieving your true dreams is passionless and devoid of life although it may pay the bills or supply a measure of emotional security. Nonetheless it will always disappoint if that is not what you really want.

The format of the Intensive is a simple one. I will lead the group through a series of exercises that will help you find within yourself what you really want, and use the ZPoint Process to help you release everything that does not align with that. In a very real sense we will be moving you away from attracting circumstances that disappoint to those that fill you with passion. Then watch your life begin to change in amazing ways.

Let me leave you with a quote from famed author Napoleon Hill…

“All success begins with a definiteness of purpose, with a clear picture in your mind of precisely what you want from life.”

Please note that on Monday August 4th I’ll begin a 21 Day, 15 minutes per day Teleclass series with exactly the same intent as the in person weekend. For more information on this visit:

Jumping Fences by Chief Joseph

Today I have a wonderful new article by Chief Joseph and John Cali about “Jumping Fences”. I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do.

*********

John Cali

Antelope, like humans, are creatures of habit. They’ve followed the same migration corridors to and from their winter and summer ranges for thousands of years. But now they have to share the land with people.

One of the antelope migration corridors is a 100-mile stretch between the Gros Ventre Wilderness Area and Grand Teton National Park in northwestern Wyoming. The federal government, for whatever reasons, is proposing fenced pastures along that corridor.

Environmentalists are fighting the government’s proposed fencing. The reason? Antelope, being creatures of habit, won’t leap a fence, even though they’re perfectly capable of doing it.

So they’ll be forced to stop when they encounter a fence. They won’t be able to continue their migration, and will die.

I once saw a buck antelope, running out on the northern Montana prairie, stop when he came to a fence. He looked it over a few moments and then instead of jumping over it, just tried to bulldoze his way through it. He finally made it because the fence was old and worn. But he did it the hard way.

Sounds eerily similar to what humans often do.

Here’s Chief Joseph.

Chief Joseph

Many, if not most, humans have no idea of their full power and potential — just like the antelope. Even though the power is there, you are effectively powerless.

One of the reasons we are doing this work with John is to awaken you to who you really are. Who you really are is physical extensions of that divine energy you may call God or Goddess.

This is your birthright as human beings. Yet you rarely see, understand, or accept who you are. The mass consciousness limits you if you buy into it, as most humans do one time or another during their lives.

But it needn’t be that way. Whenever you tell yourself you’re limited or powerless, that’s just a story you made up.

Many humans, when they begin to get a glimpse of the possibility they may be more than the bodies they occupy, get scared — scared of their own power. Scared, perhaps, because they believe that power carries too much responsibility.

And yet, friends, acknowledging who you truly are, accepting it, and living your lives as the powerful creators you all are, is the most freeing thing you will ever do for yourselves. And for your sisters and brothers on the planet.

Claim your power! Know that power. Live that power. Love that power.

Today, as many of you are aware — sometimes painfully aware — humanity and your Mother Earth are feeling the intensifying energies flowing onto the planet.

This is not a bad thing, despite how it may feel to you. It’s a good thing. You are all moving into higher vibrations, higher awareness. You are, en masse, beginning your return home, to the glorious beings of light and love you came from when you incarnated.

Some humans, believing these are the “end times” or not believing they have the power to move through this time of transition, are choosing to “get a jump” on things by leaving their bodies.

That’s neither right nor wrong. It’s just their choice.

However, those of you choosing to stay on a while longer have a responsibility to claim your power — to remember who you are. As we said before, this will free you to create whatever you want, including peace on earth.

You will no longer argue for your limitations. You will no longer deny your power like the antelope refusing to jump fences. Jumping fences is your life’s work. It’s joyful work. So get busy!

Expectations

Today I have an article taken from John Cali who channels Chief Joseph. John is a good friend as is Chief Joseph himself. I post the article here because these are words we all need to hear again and again….

John Cali

There are many possible reasons we’re willing to settle for less instead of more. For example, we don’t feel deserving. Or we don’t believe the Universe is abundant. Or we believe everything we read in the mainstream news media. Or, for a zillion other reasons, we don’t believe we can have what we want in this life.

Therefore, we set our expectations low. We work hard. Then we usually reap what we’ve sown — results that match our expectations.

But the opposite of that also works because the Law of Attraction is flawless, and you always get what you focus on and expect. Always.

Here’s Chief Joseph.

Chief Joseph

Friends, we do not know where, on your physical paths, you went astray into believing you are far less than we know you are. If you could see yourselves with our eyes, you would be inundated with joy — that indescribable joy you knew before you incarnated, and the joy to which you will surely return when you leave your physical bodies.

We’ve said this many times over the years, but it bears repeating:

All of you — no exceptions — are gods and goddesses in physical form.

The problem is many of you have identified your being by who you are in the particular body you now occupy.

But that body, wondrous thing that it is, is still such a small, infinitesimal part of who you really are. An important part, yes. Otherwise you could not navigate through your physical experiences. Nonetheless, still a small part.

Your higher selves, or souls, see you as we see you — bright, beautiful beings. Struggling sometimes, yes. Courageous always, yes.

Do you know how much courage it took for you (the Greater You) to incarnate into a physical body once again? If you did you would gain a far greater appreciation of your human selves. You would gain a far greater appreciation of the miraculous workings of your physical bodies. You would gain a far greater appreciation of the endless power you have to create lives of joy and abundance while you still occupy your physical bodies.

Your higher selves, your souls, decided to play the game of physical life again because they thought there would be some fun here. Games, after all, are all about having fun. You knew that as little children. You were far wiser then than most of you are now.

It’s not that you’re not innately wise — you’ve just forgotten your own wisdom and power.

When you begin to get more glimpses of that wisdom and power — that is our goal here today, to help you do that — then you will never again set low expectations for yourselves.

You deserve everything you’ve ever wanted. The Universe has noted your every wish, from the moment you were born into this physical lifetime. The only reason you haven’t gotten what you want is because you haven’t allowed it to come to you.

Set your expectations high always. You don’t have to work hard to manifest your desires. Work easy, knowing and trusting the Universe will deliver to you what you’ve asked. Maybe not in the specific form you’ve imagined. But, if not, then something far better and higher.

All is well, friends. Trust your own innate goodness and deservingness. We do. God does. The Universe does.

See yourselves as we see you, with great love.

My Higher Self Speaks

I had a conversation the other evening with Maryam Webster, author of Everyday Bliss for Busy Women. Maryam is an old friend who has supported ZPoint from the very beginning.

Maryam and I were discussing different approaches to healing. There is the psychological model, where we attempt to fix what’s broken, or there’s the spiritual model where we work to uncover our true selves.

I recall a wonderful quote from Michaelangelo who was asked how he was able to capture such beauty with his sculpture. Turning to his latest work which was an Angel, he replied that his job was to see the Angel within the stone, whole and complete, and then to chip away at the stone until he freed it.

We are very much like that Angel trapped within the stone except that what traps us are beliefs and attitudes that prevent us from seeing the truth about life. We see what we expect to see and those expectations are born of cherished beliefs about who we think we are. Who we’ve been told we are by parents, teachers, peers, Television. The list goes on and on. What if we are NOT that? You either are or you aren’t. There’s no middle ground here.

We are not broken, we never were. We’ve merely accepted ways of looking at our lives that are untrue. We live on Planet Earth among those who believe that they will die one day and be extinguished unless they believe a certain thing or act in certain ways or dress and speak in certain ways. We take the word of authority figures for who we are. After all, they must know, right?

What if these ways are not true? What if we really are spiritual beings, and powerful ones at that?

What if you already know the truth but it’s buried within you, underneath everything you’ve learned about life so far? Perhaps it’s time to know the truth for yourself rather than taking someone else’s word for it.

I am not against religion. In fact, I am not against anything. I am however, FOR anything that helps you remember who you are. I am FOR anything that encourages you to release your identification with those things that you are NOT. I am FOR simply embracing those things those things that make you feel good about yourself, your life and your world. They are your connection to your higher self and the freedom that that brings.

We are not born to suffer. Suffering is caused by resisting who you truly are. You’ve been taught to believe that you are somehow less, and those lessons have been painful. Until you really decide to free yourself, to commit to it, you are a prisoner of your beliefs no less than that Angel trapped within the stone. You are not born to suffer. Suffering is optional.

We are not meant to live in lack. Believing in limitation itself is the root cause of lack. We are spiritual beings who by our very thoughts create the situations and circumstances of our lives. If there is lack, it is only because you have created it. You are that powerful.

We are going through an extraordinary time on this planet. We are all being pushed to either evolve and move on to a new level of living or to continue living in fear and lack and to manifest everything that that energy aligns with. Never in our history has this choice been more evident as more and more people are caught up in an increasing spiral of fear and helplessness. Checked the price of gas lately?

Which path do you choose?

Know that you are not powerless. In the past 20 years many tools have been given to help you connect with who you truly are. ZPoint is only one tool among many although it is one of the simplest. I encourage you to make a stand in your life and to adopt a daily spiritual practice that will bring you into alignment with your Higher Self. Even 15 minutes a day can make a huge difference.

***

On August 2nd and 3rd 2008 I will be facilitating a ZPoint Personal Peace Practitioner Training here in Toronto. The purpose of this training is twofold.

First, participants will be trained in all aspects of The ZPoint Process in order that they may teach ZPoint to others. And second, it is my intention to guide participants through all aspects of the Process to achieve a deep and lasting level of peace in their own lives. They can then easily pass that peace along to others. For more information, please click here.

Peace Always Begins with Me!

You may have noticed the tag line I put at the end of my correspondence. It reads “Peace always begins with me!”.

These are not just words, they are a statement of fact. No matter what situation I find myself in, peace always begins with me. When I walk into a room, no matter what’s going on, I am peaceful and that peace extends like a bubble around me. When I speak to people or even just sit near them, they become more peaceful too. Often remarkably so.

I am not the only person who has this effect on people. There are many long time ZPoint users who have noticed this phenomenon as well. It is important to understand that we are not affecting people in this way, it is the peace we carry inside us that does the job.

When you are peaceful inside, that peace can be felt by everyone you come into contact with just as the opposite is true. It is a palpable presence that you carry within you and that presence reaches out to others and affects them as well.

It has long been known and accepted that “as it is within you, so shall it be outside of you” If you are filled with upset and anger or resentment, you will attract those situations, circumstances and relationships that mirror that upset. Your life on the outside will be filled with a turmoil that merely reflects the turmoil already present within you. If you feel abused, you will notice only those experiencing similar abuse. If you are angry, you will constantly meet that anger in relationships or the circumstances and situations that trigger it. As it is within you, so shall it be outside of you.

The purpose of ZPoint is to help you stop the madness, the drama and the upset. It’s purpose is to give you a simple way to let all of that go and find inner peace.

Many people today are concerned with World Peace or Outer Peace. They look at the world and see only the violence, the mistrust, the anger and the resentment. They feel powerless to do anything about the current situation and in their powerlessness feel isolated and alone. To feel better about themselves, they join organizations believing that in working with others, in promoting the idea of Peace this will cause others to change. Those people will become more peaceful and the world will become more peaceful as a result.

I am here to tell you that this approach will NOT work. We cannot change the world by trying to change others. We can ONLY CHANGE OURSELVES. If this approach did work, we would be experiencing a far more peaceful world right now. As Dr. Phil would say “How’s that workin’ for you?”

Mahatma Ghandi said it best, “Be the change you want to see in the world”. This means that if you want a peaceful world, you must first become peaceful within yourself. Peace always begins with you and spreads outward. To say to another, “lay down your arms and find peace” without first feeling that peace within you, is the greatest of all hypocrisies. You are saying “Do as I say, not as I do”. They are merely empty words or actions. There is no power of truth behind them.

When you speak words of Peace and inside secretly think thoughts of anger or resentment, you perpetrate the very conditions you seek to change. First you MUST become peaceful within yourself and then your words and your very presence will have the power to change lives. Peace always, always begins with you.

If you are truly committed to World Peace, find that Peace within yourself first. My personal belief is that The ZPoint Process was specifically created to help you do this easily and with very little effort on your part. Over a very short period of time you’ll notice yourself becoming much more peaceful and relaxed about life, and this is a gift beyond measure.

All parts of your life will change for the better. You will be happier and you will see that happiness reflected in the faces around you. Remember, as within, so without. And the greatest part is, you don’t need to say a word. You become that Peace personified.

Peace always begins with you.

Practice your ZPoint everyday and become more and more peaceful within yourself. You will very quickly see the results of the Peace you carry as it powerfully affects your relationships and everything you touch. Be the change you want to see in the world. Be at peace with the world and the world will smile back at you.

If you haven’t already done so, consider purchasing my Nine Minutes to Bliss Program. It will help you to become the peaceful person you wish to be. Remember, you can change the world by changing yourself first.

Until next time,

Grant Connolly

Peace always begins with me

ZPoint for Pain

A few days ago I received an email from Sue Tanida, a long time member of this list. She brings up a subject I find facinating, using ZPoint on physical issues. Let me quote from her email…

Grant,

I did buy your new 9 Minutes manual and I do love the general clearing… It is relaxing to “sit back” and just focus on my cue word. Not to mention that my cue word is the name of one of my very beloved cats, Pippin–and his name by itself brings a smile to my face.

I’d like to share something that you are free to use in any of your newsletters or a future ebook. I find that erasing the tape on physical pain works really well if I aim at not eradicating pain, but taking away everything but a slight reminder to be careful with what is injured.

I recently had a few small burns, one from steam and the other from bumping my forearm on the edge of the oven when removing my baking. Both were sufficiently severe that the skin darkened and later peeled off, but neither produced any blistering or much pain at all once I counted them down using ETT, once for the pain and once for the remainder of the pain.

Interestingly, as an experiment, I tried to remove ALL pain on a third pass with one of the burns but I got distracted and lost count a couple of times before giving up–the remaining pain was around a 1 on a SUDS scale–or even a 1/2–and something wise in my subconscious decided that it would be a good idea if it had just enough sensitivity that I would avoid using hot water dishwashing or banging the area on something while it healed. Both burns healed beautifully.

Blessings,
Sue

I personally have had experience with this aspect of ZPoint, helping my ex wife through an operation. According to her Doctor, she healed twice as fast as she should have and had half the pain.

I’ve also heard stories about people who’ve slammed fingers in car doors and used ETT to release the pain and promote healing. Now we have another story by Sue Tanida that points to the effectiveness of this technique.

I’d like to know about anyone else out there who has had similar experiences. If you have, can you please leave a comment on this story or send me an email at grant@zpointforpeace.com.

On Reaching your Dreams

What if there really is a simple way to have those things or have those experiences that you really want?

A few years ago I saw a television program featuring world class athletes being trained to run even faster. Each was at the top of their game, but each had reached a plateau. And try as they might, none could move past that seemly insurmountable physical barrier and run faster.

A very clever coach came up with a brilliant way of helping those athletes break through the barrier. He hooked them up to a pulley and a long rope that pulled them down the track just a little bit faster than their personal bests. And it worked. They all ran faster!

What that brilliant coach did was to create the possibility and the expectation that they could run faster. And without seeing and especially feeling that possibility for themselves, they couldn’t get past that seemingly insurmountable barrier.

ZPoint What if’s work in exactly the same way as that pulley and rope but without the sweat and effort. They create a sense of expectancy that sets in motion the circumstances necessary for you to have those things or be whoever you want to be.

Inside each of us, somewhere, is an image of the life we want for ourselves. For countless reasons we’ve accepted the notion that we can’t have or be whatever that is. But what if it’s not true? What if we can?

Below you’ll find some What if Statements that will do for you what that rope and pulley did for the athletes. Just take your time and do each statement and remember to repeat your cue word after each one. And when you’ve finished, just take a few minutes to focus on how wonderful you feel… and keep repeating your cue to feel even better.

And we’ll begin…

What if all the dreams I’ve ever dreamed for myself are just waiting for me to claim them? <cue>

What if I could let go of all the ways I’m afraid to let my light shine? <cue>

What if I could let go of all the ways I blame myself, or others, for things that happened in the past? <cue>

What if I could let go of that past, remembering only those things that give my life purpose and meaning? <cue>

What if I can allow myself to feel good about my life and everything in it? <cue>

What if I can let go of all the stress, all the worry, all the doubt? <cue>

What if whenever I hear the voice of my intuition, I listen and trust what it has to say? <cue>

What if I just let go of all the burdens I carry that are not mine to carry? <cue>

What if I opened to the truth about myself and found that truth to be pleasing. <cue>

What if I could wake up each day with a feeling of excitement in my heart? <cue>

What if I allowed myself to be the person I’ve always wanted to be? <cue>

What if I allowed my most cherished dreams to come true? <cue>

What if I could do all of these things easier than I ever imagined? <cue>

What if I am the person I most want to be? <cue>

Now take a breath. Continue repeating your cue word, notice how you feel and bask in that feeling until you’re ready to carry on with your day.

————–

I’ve just completed a very special program that includes a recording of me leading you through the above “What if’s..?” It makes you feel wonderful and gives you a feeling of confidence that you will let go of those things that no longer bring you happiness. (Read more….)

‘ZPoint Newsletter - More powerful ‘what ifs…’

Those of you who’ve used ZPoint for a while may be familiar with ZPoint ‘What if’ Statements. If you’re unfamiliar with these statements, here’s an example.

What if I can do the things I want to do and have those things that make my life easier. <cue>

What if I can give myself permission to release my resistance to receiving what I really want. <cue>

After each ‘what if’ you would simply repeat your cue word for about 10 seconds.

‘Yes’ is a very appropriate cue word to use with ‘what if’s’ because the word ‘yes’ opens all doors with a smile. And the questions themselves when coupled with the cue word and healing program, creates a sense of expectancy and excitement. This feeling indicates that you’ve created that possibility within yourself and this activates the Law of Attraction to bring you what you seek.

Below you’ll find the text of an email from Maureen Kirk, a Clinical Social Worker from my home town of Peterborough Canada who is currently enrolled in the ZPoint Personal Peace Practioner Program. As you’ll see, she uses ‘what if’ statements in a very creative way to relieve a physical issue. I send my sincere appreciation to Maureen for such a wonderful idea. She writes…

Hi Grant,

“I have had a few very interesting experiences with the What Ifs this week. The “story” is that I have been progressively developing a chest infection over the past 3 weeks. My Dr. was away on vacation so I made 2 visits to the ER at Peterborough with the hope of getting some antibiotics to start my recovery. Both visits the ER Dr. did not provide to needed antibiotic and when I finally saw my Dr. this Monday I was very congested and feverish with a full blown infection.

I was struggling to get my breath and coughing and feeling very unwell on Monday evening so I lay down. As I was lying on my bed I thought of using the What If statements and started with “What If I am able to clear this quickly, easily and gently”. I went on to statements that were focused on me being fully in balance and vitality. I also addressed my fear of not being able to breathe as I had past karma and life experience in this lifetime with breathing difficulties.

I had been wanting to listen to the Oprah and Eckardt Tolle webcast that evening and when I was finished with the What Ifs, I was able to breathe clearly and the coughing had ceased so I was able to view the webcast.

What I realised firstly was that I could make a difference to my physical imbalance with the z-point and create the space for healing to occur. Secondly it came to me that the What If statements are very much more powerful on their own when linked with the original ICATW (I clear all the ways) statements.

I feel energy and the difference in the power of the combination was massive. I felt that possibly there may have been some subtle resistance to the straight ICATW statements and the What Ifs opened up all possibilities…making the approach even simpler.”

- Maureen Kirk, BSW. M.Ed. C.S.W., - current ZPoint Practitioner Candidate

The basic ‘what if’ statement creates a sense of expectancy while the addition of ‘I clear all the ways’ releases anything that dampens that expectancy. As Maureen implies, these new statements may release any subtle resistance we may experience when using regular ZPoint statements. This makes the whole process simpler and more effective.

So, if we change the ‘what if’ statement slightly, it becomes:

What if I can clear all the ways I’m not able to clear this quickly, easily and gently? <cue>

What if I can clear all the ways I’m afraid to breathe? <cue>

What if I can clear all the ways I can’t relax fully and completely? <cue>

or,

What if I can clear all the ways this feeling impacts my life? <cue>

What if I can clear all the ways I hold onto this situation and everything connected to it? <cue>

Questions are always more powerful than direct statements. You can experience the truth of this for yourself by repeating the following two statements and comparing how you feel after each one. The first statement is…

I clear all the ways that I may feel unsafe about change. <cue>

Then,

What if I can clear all the ways that I may feel unsafe about change? <cue>

Do you feel the difference?

If you haven’t already done so, please, take a moment and try these new ‘what ifs’ for yourself. Make up a few ‘what ifs’ for yourself an pay attention to how you feel. Allow yourself to feel GREAT!

Then, send me a quick email at grant@zpointforpeace.com and let me know how you made out.
