In the wake of these tragic events last week (nigeria and france)
..although some might take this as a time for mourning and grief...
one must and should ask who really profits from these events...


Qui bono?

Let us make this year memorable...

From a LYL point of view, "athletes" (you!) must adapt their attitudes to a change.
It´s not the change that causes turmoil, it`s your attitude or view
of the change. Flexible attitudes toward changes lessen their impact.

Refuse to give unpredictable events the power to control your reactions.
LYL encourages us to accept, incorporate , and embrace change; the athlete who adapts
will triumph and become a powerful force in his field.

_______________________________________________________________

Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.

~ Marie Curie

Newness....

Dear LYL,

We wish you a great and productive year.
Regular updates are coming soon again.
And they are going to be very different from what you are used to.

Kindest regards,

LYL

The Breath of Life .....


It has been said that if we were to change nothing – not our eating, exercise or
thinking patterns and habits – except our breathing pattern, we could radically alter our life
span. Leonard Orr, the author of Physical Immortality and founder of rebirthing, states that
if we reduce the number of breaths that we breathe per minute from say 15 to five, we will
triple our lifespan......

A “Which Thought Feels Better?” Game Example 

This process works best if you can sit for a few minutes and write your
thoughts on paper. In time, when you have played the game sufficiently,
you  will find success with it just by rolling the thoughts
across your mind, but  writing them down onto paper causes
a much more powerful point of focus,
which makes it easier for you to feel the direction of your chosen thought.

To begin: First, write a brief statement of how you feel
about the subject  right now. You could describe what has happened,
but what is most  important is that you describe how you feel.
Next, write another statement that amplifies exactly how you feel.
This  helps you more easily recognize any improvement
as you move through the  process.

For example, you have just had an argument with your daughter
because  she makes no effort to help around the house.
She does not even take care of  her personal things, and
her own room is a terrible mess.
She seems to hold  no regard for the effort you are making
to maintain an orderly environment.
Not only does she not try to help, but it seems that she deliberately tries to
hinder you. So you write:

She [or write your daughter’s name] is deliberately trying to make my life 
difficult. 
She doesn’t care about me at all. 
She doesn’t even come close to doing her share of the work.

Once you have made a few statements that indicate how you really feel
right now, make this statement to yourself:
I’m going to reach for some  thoughts about this subject
that feel a little better. Now, once you have  written each thought,
evaluate whether it feels better, the same, or worse than
when you initially began.

So you write:
She never listens to me. (same)
I want her to be more responsible, (same)
I shouldn’t have to pick up after her. (same)
I should have taught her better, (worse)
I wish her father would support me more, (worse)
A clean house is important to me. (slightly better)
I know she has a lot on her mind, (better)
I remember what it’s like to be a teenager, (better)
I remember when she was a sweet little girl, (better)
I wish she were still that sweet little girl, (worse)
I don’t know what to do about this, (worse)
Well, I don’t have to figure it all out today, (better)
There are so many things about her that I adore, (better)
I know there is more to life than a clean house, (better)
It should be okay that I want a clean house, (worse)
It’s all right that I want my house to be clean, (better)
It’s fine that she doesn’t care about that now. (better)

Remember, there are no right and wrong answers here,
and no one else can  really know which of your thoughts
ring better or worse feelings to you.
The  value of this process is that you will become aware
of how your thoughts  feel—and you will become more adept
at choosing better-feeling thoughts.

Many would ask, “But what good would it be to feel
better about my  daughter’s sloppy habits?
My thoughts won’t change her behavior.”
We want to say to you that your thoughts change
the behavior of everyone and everything who has anything to do with you.
For your thoughts  absolutely equal your point of attraction,
and the better you feel, the more  that everything and everyone around you improves.
In the moment that you  find an improved feeling, 
conditions and circumstances change to match your feeling.
The Which Thought Feels Better? game will help you begin to realize the
power that your own thoughts have to influence everything around you.

You Must Be Consciously Aware to Be a Deliberate Creator 

We think it is a wonderful thing when you begin
to make the correlation between what you have been thinking and feeling,
and what is manifesting.

For in that conscious awareness,
you are then able to deliberately modify
your thoughts in order to attract something that is even more pleasing.

But  the most satisfying aspect of Deliberate Creation
comes from being sensitive to the way the thoughts you are thinking feel,
for then it is possible to modify  a bad-feeling thought to one that feels better,
and to thereby improve your point of attraction before something unwanted manifests.

It is far easier—before an unwanted physical manifestation appears—
to deliberately change  the direction of your thought to something
that feels better. You will come to understand that Deliberate Creation
is about deliberately  guiding your thoughts in good-feeling directions.

You will feel the  satisfaction of deliberately choosing a good-feeling thought,
and then you  will enjoy observing the good-feeling manifestation that must follow.

There is even some satisfaction to be found in
recognizing the not-so-good-feeling  thought and then observing
the not-so-good manifestation that must follow,  for now your
conscious awareness of the powerful Law of Attraction will
give you the feeling of control.
Without making the correlation between your thoughts and feelings 
and the manifestations that are occurring, you have no
conscious control of what happens in your experience.

Instead of “Earning” Abundance,“Allow” Your Abundance .......

Your action has nothing to do with your abundance!
Your abundance is a response to your vibration.
Of course your belief is part of your vibration, so
if you believe that action is part of what brings you abundance,
then you  have to unravel that.

We would like you to release the word earn from your
vocabulary and your understanding altogether, and we would like you to
replace it with the word allow.
You want to allow your Well-Being;
it is not  something that you need to earn.
All you have to do is decide what you  would like to experience,
and then allow it in order to receive it.
It is not something you have to struggle or try for.
You are all worthy Beings, and you  are deserving of this Well-Being.

All the resources you will ever want or need are at your fingertips.
All you  have to do is identify what you want to do with it and then practice the
feeling-place of what it will be like when that happens.

There is nothing you  cannot be, do, or have; you are blessed Beings,
and you have come forth into  this physical environment to create.

There is nothing holding you back other than your own contradictory thoughts.
And your emotion tells you whenever  you have such thoughts.
Life is supposed to be fun—it is supposed to feel  good

You are powerful creators, and you are right on schedule.
Savor more; fix less. Laugh more; cry less. Anticipate positively more;
anticipate negatively less. Nothing is more important than that you feel good.
Just practice that and watch what happens.

The next time you feel any discomfort.......

stop in the middle of it and say to  yourself,
“This discomfort that I’m feeling is nothing more than my
awareness of resistance.
It’s time for me to relax and breathe, relax and breathe, relax and breathe.”
And you can, in seconds, bring yourself back into comfort.

Every cell in your body has a direct relationship with Creative Life Force,
and each cell is independently responding.
When you feel joy, all the circuits are open,
so the Life Force can be fully received. When you feel guilt, blame,
fear, or anger, the circuits are hindered and Life Force cannot flow as
effectively.

Physical experience is about monitoring those circuits and
keeping them as open as possible.
Your cells know what to do; they are summoning the Energy.

There is no condition that you cannot modify into something more,
any more than there is any painting that you cannot repaint.
There are many limiting thoughts in the human environment that can
make it seem that these so-called incurable illnesses or unchangeable
conditions cannot not be changed.

 But we say that they are only “unchangeable” because you believe they are. 

Someone asked us recently, “Is there any limitation to the body’s ability to heal?” 
And we said, None, other than the belief that you hold. 
And he asked, “Then why aren’t people growing new limbs?” 
And we said, Because no one believes they can.

Success Is about the Joy You Feel .......

We love seeing you applauding someone else’s success,
because when you  are genuinely thrilled by it,
that means you are right on the track of your  own.

Many think that success means getting everything they want.
And we  say that this is what dead is,
 and there is no such thing as that kind of dead.
Success is not about getting it done.
It is about still dreaming and feeling  positive in the unfolding.
The standard of success in life is not the money or  the stuff—
the standard of success is absolutely the amount of joy you feel.

[Trying to Hinder Another’s Freedom 
Always Costs You Your Freedom ]

When you ask, it is always given, but you must be in vibrational 

harmony with what you are asking for before you can let it in to 

your experience. The reason why so many people do not 

remember or believe that all that they are asking for is being answered is 

because they are not consciously aware of what they are doing, vibrationally. 

They are not making the conscious connection between their thoughts,

the  subsequent feelings those thoughts evoke, and the manifestations that are 

occurring. And without that conscious connection, you cannot know where 

you are in relationship to that which you desire. When you know that you 

want something, and you notice you do not have it, you assume that there is 

something outside of yourself that is keeping it from you, but that is never 

true. 

The only thing that ever prevents your receiving something that you 

desire is that your habit of thought is different from your desire. 

Once you are aware of the power of your thoughts, and of your ability to 

allow in the things that you desire, you then have creative control of your 

experience. But if you are predominantly focused upon the results of your 

focused thoughts rather than feeling your way within your thoughts, it is 

easy to lose your way.

[updates are coming on the regular again]

Are You Clear about What You Want? 

You do not have to keep telling the Universe what you want;
you only have to tell the Universe once.
But the advantage of continuing to talk about
it is that you get clearer about it.

Usually you cannot clearly articulate  everything you want with your
first statement, so the more you talk about it,  the more you fine-tune it.
But as you say “I want it,” the Universe begins  manifesting it,
 and then when you say, “I would like it to be this way,”
the  Universe modifies that. You say, “And a little bit of this would be nice.”
and  the Universe... you see what we are getting at?

And once you are clear about what you want;
once you have zeroed in on it and you know what you
want—it is on its way to you. It is done.
The manifestation of it will probably  follow later, however,
because most often, there is enough resistance that you  will not receive it instantly.

Remove Your Attention from the City’s Potholes....


“As I focus upon what I want, I feel good. If I focus upon lack of what I want, I will feel bad.”

So let’s take it a little further. Can you focus upon more than one thing at a time?
You cannot. Can you feel more than one way at a time?
 Can you feel good and bad at the same time? You cannot.

And so, is it not logical—for it certainly falls within the guidelines of the Law of Attraction—
that if you are focusing upon what you do want, you cannot, at the same time,
be focusing upon what you do not want?
And, if, when you focus upon what you want, you will feel good;
and, if, when you feel good, you would be in the positive mode of attraction,
 then would not your most important work be to look for the positive aspects
of all things, to look for the parts of all things that are uplifting to you—
and to get your attention off of the potholes?

Sometimes, when first learning about Deliberate Creation, some will worry.
They are afraid that every negative thought they think is going to reach out into
the cosmos and bring some monster into their experience.
We want to ease your fear bv reminding you that you are living the balance of your
thought, so it requires quite a bit of thought about something before it will manifest in your experience.

But as a people who have lived in a society that is predominantly oriented toward criticism
and to what is wrong, always wanting to face the facts,
you have become those, even in your individual thoughts, who
predominantly worry, rather than predominantly know that all is well.

We want to encourage you to give more of your attention to what makes you feel good—
not something so radical that you must control every thought—
just make a decision that you will look ‘or what you want to see.
It is not a difficult decision to make, but it can make a big difference in what you bring into your
experience.

The Better It Feels, the Better It Gets....

Now, here is the thing we want you to hear:
We have not solved anything.

In other words, nothing has really changed.
You still have your taxes to do, but the thing that we most want
you to hear is that you are standing in a different place right now than you were before.

In other words, clarity will come to you more easily than before.
Memory will come to you more easily than before.
An idea of where you left something will come to you more easily than before.

In other words, all those scattered pieces of your life that are in piles and boxes
and folders and bottoms of purses— all those pieces of information that are
scattered here and there— are coming together in your mind.

In other words, your Inner Mind will begin to
feed you in a consistent way; in a way that did not happen before
you took a little time to align your Energy with your desire.

Whether it is a castle or a button, if you are using it as your object of attention,
it is summoning the Life Force, and it is the feel of the Life Force that life is about.
The reason that you are summoning it is inconsequential.

In other words, it is every bit as possible to feel as much joy in the preparation of your
taxes as in the planning of an ocean cruise. Now you might not believe that,
but that is because you have not allowed the Energy to flow through you
toward that object of attention without resistance.
You summon the Energy because you want to do what you have to do,
 but then you divert the Energy, because you have all these habits or practiced statements
that do not let it flow.

Do Not Try to Save the World; Save Yourself...

Because thoughts are so attractive (meaning that they attract more unto them),
once you get going on a thought that does not feel good to you,
 it is easier for you to stay focused in that train of thought until
you have a great amount of negative energy going than it is for you to pivot away.

And for that reason, we would encourage the greatest exercise in
Pivoting that we can offer you. In other words, rather than moving forward
into your day, not having any clear ideas of what you want,
and waiting until some influence touches you that you do not like,
feeling the negative response, and deciding that you will pivot—
it is so much more productive for you to go about your day with the
decision to look for positive aspects.

Do not try to save the world; save yourself. That means that you need to focus
on what makes you feel good. The process of Pivoting is the tool that will
bring you to what you want. It is the process whereby you consciously decide:
Yes, I want to look for what I want, and I will no longer look
 in the direction of the lack of it.

Pivoting is the continual, hour-after-hour, segment-by-segment process
whereby you choose the positive.

It is the way you get to feeling good—and it is a way that you can get whatever you want.

Your Attention Must Be on It, Not on the Lack of It....

The Creative Process is occurring whether you are consciously aware of it or not.
 Because of the variety and contrast of your experience,
continual new preferences are being born within you, and you are,
even without knowing it, broadcasting them as requests.
And in the moment that you broadcast a preference,
Source Energy receives your vibrational request and, by the Law of Attraction,
offers immediate responses, which you must then align to vibrationally.

The reason that you are not always aware that your desires
have been answered is because there is often a time gap between your asking
 and your allowing.

Even though a clear desire has emanated from you as a result
of the contrast you have considered, you often, rather than giving your
attention purely to the desire itself, focus back on the contrasting situation
that gave birth to the desire.

And in doing so, your vibration is more about the reason
you have launched the desire than it is about the desire itself.

Give Attention to What Feels Good.....

Something that is reality seems like it deserves your attention,
 it’s true, after all, it’s true. Shouldn’t I document it? Shouldn’t I count it?
 Shouldn’t I make the statistics of it? Shouldn’t I tell others about it?
Shouldn’t I warn my children about it?”

Shouldn’t we beat the drum of these things that we do not want,
because they are reality, and therefore make them more reality?
And, we ask, why would you do that? Why not look out into the database of
creation and selectively sift the realities that you want to replicate, and beat those drums?
And your answer is never a good enough one.
It is: “We do it because it’s reality. We do it because somebody else did it.”

If we were standing in your physical shoes, we would not let the reality of something
be our basis for attention; we would let the feeling-vibration of it be our basis.
So we would start saying to anyone who was interested in knowing what we were about,
“If it feels good, I give it my full attention; if it doesn’t, I don’t look at it at all.”

And you know what they’ll say to you? “You should face reality!” So answer back,
“I do—I do it all the time. I’ve just become a more selective sifter of the reality that I face.
 Because I’ve begun to discover that whatever reality I’m facing; whatever reality
 I’m talking about, thinking about, remembering, regurgitating; whatever reality
 I’m making statistics of; whatever reality I’m holding for very long in my vibration,
 becomes my own reality.

And I’ve become particular about the realities that I replicate in my experience
because I’ve discovered that I can create reality.
 I can create reality! I can create reality—and
I can choose the reality that I’m creating.”
Oh, we love saying that to you. You are creators, and you can create anything that you want,
but there’s a better way of saying it:
You can and will create anything that you are giving your attention to.

Another Example of the Meditation Process....

So, here is the process that, if we were in your physical shoes, we would utilize:
 Every day, for 10 or 15 minutes, and not for much more time than that,
 we would sit quietly by ourselves in some pleasant place where we would not
 be interrupted—maybe under a tree, maybe in our vehicle,
maybe in the bathroom or garden...

We would do our best to shut down our physical senses.
In other words, we would draw the curtains if the light was too bright;
we would close our eyes; we would choose a quiet place.

We would be aware of breathing air into our lungs,
and we would be conscious of breathing out. We would concentrate on long breaths
 in and long breaths out. We would breathe air in, and when we thought it
was all our lungs would comfortably hold, we would softly bring still more air in.
And then, at a place of full expansion of our lungs, we would take a long,
slow, delicious moment to let the air out.

Our intention would be nothing more than being in this moment
and being consciously aware of our breathing, nothing to do other than breathe—
not fixing breakfast, not combing hair, not wondering how someone is doing,
not thinking about yesterday, not worrying about tomorrow,
 not focusing on anything in this moment except air in and air out.

This is a state of allowing where, for just a few moments, you stop running the show.
You stop trying to make anything happen.
This is the time when you are saying to your Source Energy, to your Inner Being,
to your GOD (or whatever you want to call it): Here I am, in a state of allowing.
I’m allowing Source Energy to flow purely through me.
Fifteen minutes of effort will change your life because it will allow the Energy
that is natural to you to flow.
You will feel better in the moment, and you will feel more energized when you come out of it.

Some Other Ways to Raise Your Vibration....

Now, there are other ways of raising your vibrations than Meditation,
such as listening to music that makes your heart sing, jogging in a beautiful place,
petting your cat, walking your dog, and so on.

These are just some of the many pleasant activities that cause
a release of resistance and a rise in vibration.
Often you are in your highest state of connection to Source Energy
while you are driving your vehicle. That is the reason why there are relatively
so few traffic accidents. The rhythm of the road, the distraction from
what has been bothering you, and the idea of going someplace new
often causes you to leave behind thoughts of things that have been bothering you.

Your goal is to release any thought that causes resistance
so that you are then in a place of pure, positive thought.
It is not a problem if you cannot completely quiet your mind
—unless your mind is chattering about negative things.
If you are softly thinking about pleasant things during Meditation,
it can be of value.

In other words, it is quite easy to find something that is pure, positive Energy. T
hinking about your pets can be a good source of positive thought because animals
are so unconditional in their love.
Just find any thought that feels good when you think it,
and practice it  until you begin to set that tone within you.

And then, other good-feeling thoughts will follow.
