It is so easy and tempting to soothe our thoughts and feelings with short term gratification and yet it is by focusing on the long term that we can built something of real value that is truly rewarding.

I just listened to a conference call last night with Baeth Davis and Fabienne Fredrickson and here is in simple quotes what I have learned from all the valuable information these two bright and wealthy woman shared with us.

Fabienne Fredrickson is a client attraction mentor and Beath davis is a hand analyst who specializes in telling you what your life purpose is.

I have gathered these quotes from listening to them speak. Reading them over seems to help me change my mind set without trying so hard :)

Read them over and see what it does for you!

• What do you want, what are you here to do?
• Be of service.
• Work less and make more money.
• It is easier to make more money than less.
• The more work on yourself you do, the more money you can make.
• Examine your fears, your believe systems, your excuses.
• Ask and it will be given to you.
• Everything that you want and require, whatever you need is already here.
• What you ask for will not be given to you in the form of a cheque but in the form of an opportunity.
• Take action on the opportunity.
• Write down all the opportunities in your life.
• Money is simply a measuring stick of how much value you are giving to the world.
• Your purpose= your brownies (Fabienne uses brownies as an example to explain that the brownies  are like those special treats that we have been cooking inside, that we have been keeping for ourselves and have not been sharing  with the world). We need to share our brownies, our unique talents with the world.
• You are here to be of service to a lot of people.
• Marketing is a divine tool.
• Our divine duty is to get out there in a really big way.
• You are here to change the world in your own way.
• Things don’t fill your heart, giving more fills your heart.
• Money is all around us.
• When you finally align with your purpose, the flood gates open.
• If there is a struggle on the outside, there is a struggle on the inside.
• You have been programed to have fears and these believes are completely invalid.
• Get your ego out of the way.
• If you don’t take action, you don’t get results.
• Our thought creates our feelings, our feelings dictates our actions and our actions dictates the results that we get.
• When you are committed, you do what it takes.
• People are afraid to invest in themselves because they lack confidence and are afraid of risks.
• There is unlimited supplies.
• Bring joy to people.
• It is like you are slapping the universe in the face when you are not using your own abilities.
• You are like a lion looking in the mirror and seeing a kitten, see the lion and believe you can get your message out there.
• Invest in yourself.
• Upgrade your self image.
• Release control.
• Have courage and faith.
• Remove self imposed obstacles.
• Free yourself from what others think of you.
• You are deserving of greatness.
• Do  not wake up in the morning to be mediocre, live a life that matters, THAT IS the richness of life.

THE 7 BODY ECOLOGY DIET PRINCIPALS

1. Expansion/ contraction

Some foods are contracting, others are expansive and some are right in the middle, perfectly balanced. The goal on this diet is to eat foods that balance and complement one another.

On this diet:

Fats, oils, spices, herbs , teas and kefir are expansive.

Animal protein, eggs and sea salt are contracting.

Vegetables, almonds and grains are the most balanced.

When we are too acidic, our body is toxic. The diet aims at restoring the PH balance in our bodies for bodily functions and for proper beneficial bacteria to flourish. Certain foods are considered acidic, some are neutral and others are alkaline. You will want to eat 80% alkaline and 20% acidic in order to create the perfect PH balance.

I have discovered a very inspirational teacher this week and here is in short what I have learned from her so far.

She is a palm reader that reads the palm of your hands to tell you what your life purpose is.

And she even calls it money in your hands because the real wealth that all of us aspire to have comes from  living our life’s purpose by sharing our unique gifts with the world.

She says that if we struggle with making money or we make money doing something that we don’t love, we are really doing ourselves and the planet a disservice. She mentions that we are basically berrying our gifts in the ground and what a sad thing to do!

Those words brought tears to my eyes because they resonate so deep within me.

She says we all come here with a purpose and we either live in support of it or we fight and resist it.

Baeth mentions that our life’s purpose is something that is outlined on our finger tips right a embryo time and those lines don’t change.

The only lines that do change are the ones in the palm of our hands. These reveal many things about ourselves in terms of our life’s lessons, our struggles, our weaknesses and our strengths. But fascinatingly enough, these can change if we are willing to let go and heal.

Something unique about Beath is that she doesn’t predict our future and I love that!

She mentions that doing so would be a disservice to the client as well as the reader. I guess in doing so, she would not be helping us move into an empowering position in our life.

Baeth points out that having your hands read in the way that she does is really for people who are prepared to do what it takes to fulfill their purpose. She says it takes courage, a willingness to be vulnerable and a real commitment.

She mentions that when we build a business that is fueled by our life purpose, not only can we build a profitable business but we are also in the perfect position to thrive as a spiritual being. And this as a whole is what makes us healthy and wealthy. Instead of having one or the other meaning having a successful business at the cost of what you really value or being a spiritual person at the cost of making money, you can have both and have them be in alignment and harmony with one another without excluding each other.

Apparently the problem is not so much that we can’t figure out what our life’s purpose is but instead, that we intentionally create drama in our life to keep us disconnected from it.

So true, isn’t it?

There is so much more to learn from Baeth but I will keep this as an introduction for now and I will share even more with you as I discover and learn more from the many valuable gifts that she offers.

You can sign up for her newsletter and join her monthly calls if you like. She also offers several other ways to benefit from her many gifts.

Thanks to Baeth, she has put into words some of my deepest struggles which gives me hope for what is possible!

Here is the recording of a beautiful and inspiring story about Gina Laverde and her son named Dougie where Gina shares with us how she has helped cure her son of autism.

Even though I don’t have any kids, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this interview because there is so much to learn from it.

When we are on a journey to heal ourselves, we often get caught in trusting our perceptions as oppose to what we know deep within ourselves.

It is what we know that keeps us grounded and on track and it is so easy to get lost and off track trusting our thoughts, feelings and perceptions.

We get off track expecting quick fixes and cures as oppose to being sensitive and aware of all the subtle changes that can take place as we attempt to heal ourselves and our loved ones.

Gina’s journey is a perfect example of this. She responded to the subtle changes in her son and marveled at  them no matter how tiny they were.

It is beautiful to see that as she took care of her son, her whole family learned to better care for themselves in the process.

I am also a fan of The Body Ecology Diet and I marveled at the results Gina witnessed from feeding her son one tiny spoonful at a time of her homemade cultured vegetables.

Most of all, I love how it has changed things around for her and her family. She has a business doing what she loves and she seems to be absolutely natural at giving!

I sensed a genuine love and desire in Gina to share and help others and I find that to be VERY inspiring

Thank you Gina!
