Monday. Kids are out of school. Their mom is off work. Another day without the grandkids. No responsibility. Just me and my guy. TOGETHER. ALONE.

Time today to work on the 2014 Theme. Empowerment. Feels good. I've elicited some help from friends for support on Empowerment. I have AMAZING friends. We have much of what is needed for kicking off 2014 Empowerment in our Themes document:  https://themes.blueiris.org/

Powerful fun. I LOVE my life. I Appreciate BEing here.

QUIET-BLESSED-BE.
(Quiet the ego, feel peace, gratitude and appreciation, be unaffected by ridicule and negative or contrary energy.)

Sunday. A QUIET day. A day for relaxation, reflection, just BEing.

PEACE. JOY. LOVE. Just a few things to REFLECT upon as the day flows. How BLESSED I am to have a place to BE, family to LOVE, a Home for QUIET peaceful reflection.

Today I just BE in Appreciation.

QUIET-BLESSED-BE.
(Quiet the ego, feel peace, gratitude and appreciation, be unaffected by ridicule and negative or contrary energy.)

December 21 - Appreciation

The Farmer's Market! The last Saturday before Christmas. Time to explore, enjoy, and, of course, an opportunity to GIVE some people a HEART of GOLD. I LOVE that! GOLD yarn, a couple of minutes, and voila, a HEART of GOLD.

I LOVE to ask people...do you have a HEART of GOLD? Sometimes the response is...I'd like to think I do...or...I wish I did...

No sooner than they say that then, INDEED they DO have a HEART of GOLD. Everyone deserves a HEART of GOLD. We passed out a bunch of them at the Farmer's Market.

I LOVE telling people I want to GIVE them a HEART. They simply can't refuse when you use that wording. Pay ATTENTION to your words. Use them to express your desires. When you ask someone if they want a HEART they then have an easy time turning you down (and losing an opportunity to enjoy a small, simple pleasure). Often they think you're trying to sell it to them, so they are quick to shut it down. Often they also BEGIN to LISTEN about halfway through the question and hear only "want a HEART?" When instead of asking what they want you tell them what you want, when they tune in, they hear "GIVE you a HEART."

What a warm feeling it is to see someone smile, to get a HUG, to see tears of JOY in someone's eyes, when you GIVE them a small, simple, beautiful HEART.

I Appreciate the ability these little crocheted HEARTs GIVE me to TOUCH other people's lives.

GIVE-HEART-GOLD.
(Help others center in joy, an enduring reward.)

December 20 - Appreciation

Friday. Half-day of school. Party time. Movies. Hot cocoa...oh dear. Hot cocoa has corn syrup in it. My grandson can't have any kind of corn products - he has had rage reactions to corn (CONSIDER if children get angry shortly after eating candies, or really anything, looking to see if corn is in anything they ate, as from what I've seen rage is the most common reaction to corn in those with issues with corn...and corn is in most processed foods).

Thoughts...half the fun of the movies is the hot cocoa, sharing the experience with friends. Wait a minute...he doesn't have to miss the hot cocoa. As I leave the school, I call Grandpa...please start some milk heating. I stop by my daughter's house and pick up some of the hot cocoa mix she has there - corn-free - and in minutes I am back at the school with hot cocoa for Dean. He gets to share in the MAGIC. YES!

He told me he was the first one to get the hot cocoa, and I had checked the cream they had to go in the cocoa...it was safe for him, so he got to pile that on high first too!

Dean is important. He matters. He knows that. I made sure of that by doing what it took to make sure he got to have the experience everyone else did with the hot cocoa. I have watched before as parents have brought treats for birthdays, always seeming to have corn syrup, corn starch, or some other form of corn in them. Dean has just quietly accepted that he can't have any, and chosen not to take other snack items in the cupboard, without corn.

We all silently write stories in our heads, starting at a very young age, stories about us, our families, our friends, things that happen, experiences. Isn't it cool that I had the opportunity to do something, to make a difference, to perhaps CHANGE a story as it was being written? I had a chance to make sure Dean felt important, special, loved, and I took it. I decided I could make a difference for him that day. Perhaps he wrote a story about himself being important because of that. I don't know. We never really know what experiences someone will write about, on their Walls (in their minds), the writing that they use to define the world, other people, themselves. I take my job, as Grandma, seriously. I CHOOSE to OFFER many positive experiences, opportunities, to my grandchildren to GIVE them positive things to write on their walls.

I Appreciate so much, the PLETHORA of opportunities I am allotted to BE a CONDUIT to OPEN a SMORGASBORD of positive aspects (HIGHEST POTENTIAL) in spaces that may have previously been bereft of them.

GIVE-JOY.
(Help others give and receive joy.)

When I arrived at the school this morning, a mother of one of the students, one whom I wind up talking with often, told me she had something special for Cammarie. She proceeded to GIVE me a bag full of beautiful clothing and all kinds of other "girly" things for her.

Cammarie absolutely loves dressing up, loves Hello Kitty and all kinds of girly things like that. She didn't know about all the fun stuff until she arrived home from school. What a beautiful SURPRISE!

I LOVE that people CARE and share (TRICKLE) with each other. I LOVE that someone thought about Cammarie WITH LOVE and brought such JOY to her.

Then, when school let out this afternoon, the parapro (teacher's assistant) in my grandson's class handed me an envelope that she had found in one of the children's binders in the side for returning to school, labeled "Miss Kat". It was a Christmas card with a gift inside it, from one of the students, expressing appreciation for all that I do.

I do what I do at the school out of LOVE for the children. It was unexpected and AMAZING to have a beautiful card and gift given to me simply because I do what I LOVE to do.

What an AMAZING world we live in. People are awesome. I LOVE my life.

SLEUTH-ON.
(Solve mysteries, nourish ambition.)

December 18 - Appreciation

It's the small things that build up and create the big things.

When I gave a little girl at the school one of my little crocheted hearts this morning, her father commented about how I must spend a lot of money on yarn.

I do buy yarn from time to time, but most of the yarn I use for my hearts, snowflakes, flowers, etc., that I give away has been given to me. How PERFECT is that...I am given yarn, which I often turn into pretty little things and then GIVE away to others. A form of Pay it Forward.

One of the young men who has gathered many hearts from my grandchildren and me has a small Christmas tree of his very own, which he has decorated with simply hearts. How SWEET is that?

A couple of years ago, I also used a hot glue gun to glue a bunch of little hearts on a tiny Christmas tree my daughter currently has on her kitchen table.

YES! INDEED the little things can make a big difference.

I Appreciate having the ability to first CREATE these small beautiful things, and then secondly to be able to share them with others.

I LOVE that with my little hearts I often TOUCH a HEART....which now brings me to another little thing...Last year's poem Mom and I wrote TOGETHER while I was up in Salt Lake...

December 17 - Appreciation

While going through the pantry today, I ran across an old food grinder Mom gave me a few years ago. It has embossed on it that it was patented on April 20, 1920...It was given to Mom by her mother, and she remembers her using it all the time when she was young.

Wow! Only a few generations back a lot of what is so automated today was done by hand...but with help of tools. I have a mixer that also can be used for grinding and shredding food. A lot less work for a lot more productivity now, nearly 100 years after that grinder was made.

Look at our ancestors, and how they built the world we have today. Each generation builds upon the discoveries and inventions of the last, ever progressing, ever growing.

What a beautiful, integrated world we live in. I Appreciate all those who preceded me had and passed to us. I INTEND to pass to those who follow all that I can ADD to what is!

Many THANKS to all of our ancestors for the things they built for us for today.

DIVINE-THANKS.

December 16 - Appreciation

Today, both of my daughter's children stayed home from school sick.  This often can be a big deal, when both parents work, as often when a child is sick, the babysitter doesn't wish to take them either.

I LOVE that I can BE here with my grandchildren, in sickness and in health, so that Mom always knows that they are with someone who loves them and will take good care of them.

I Appreciate having been given the opportunity to BE here for them. Many thanks to Camille, for having given us the precious gift of allowing us to BE a large part of these children's lives.

DIVINE-EMBRACE.
(Increase personal ability to give and receive complete acceptance.)

December 15 - Appreciation

We had two of the grandkids sleep over last night. They are getting so big that instead of pulling out the twin mattress for them to sleep on, we pulled out the queen-size hide-a-bed.

It is AMAZING to watch the excitement children have over a new experience. Almost as soon as it was announced that they would be sleeping on the hide-a-bed they announced that they were tired and ready to sleep (6 pm).

We pulled out the hide-a-bed and let them watch a movie while lying on it. And INDEED Dean did fall asleep quite soon after we set things up.

Sunday morning we had Waffle Scone Sticks - we used my Rolls recipe at https://blueiris.org/community/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=528&Itemid=192 and just rolled the dough out, cutting it to size to cook in the Waffle Iron. The kids were in heaven with Grandpa's Waffle Scone Sticks and whipped cream with fruit for breakfast.

I so Appreciate every opportunity I get to share (TRICKLE) special times with my grandchildren.

My mother and my sister surprised me with a trip to get new glasses when they were here. We spent the Friday after Thanksgiving getting an eye exam and ordering glasses for me.

I picked the glasses up on Saturday, December 14.

I Appreciate that my mother and sister were so SWEET to me as to make the surprise appointment for me and to pay for the whole thing.

I Appreciate that we have corrective lenses that help people who would otherwise have difficulty seeing in this world see.

Our eyes, our vision is so important to us. Thank you Julie and Mom for making a difference for me, I Appreciate you.

DIVINE-POINT-BE.
(Increase personal ability to improve eyesight and focus, be unaffected by ridicule and negative or contrary energy.)

Today, my husband walked into the front room, said, "I have the hot tub ready for you, and an enticement playing."

I've always loved Neil Diamond, since a teen, when my sisters would play one of his records often. Such a beautiful deep voice, and beauty in his songs. Joe had queued up a bunch of Neil Diamond's songs to serenade me while I enjoyed the bubbles.

Shortly after I got in the tub, he showed up with hot tea for me too.

THEN he came in and asked if I was almost out a while later, and informed me that he had scones cooking. Scones and bacon, what a delightfully decadent dinner!

What a guy! I am enamored by this guy, still, after all these years. What a lucky gal I am!

Joe, every day, in every way, I totally LOVE and Appreciate you!

Currently, on Wednesdays, I post the Flower of the Week on Blue Iris Learning Center's Community page - https://blueiris.org/community

As I looked to the Flower for this week, I thought about how BLESSED we are to have Flowers to remind us of things we can do to CHANGE ourselves and our world to BE in a space of comfort.

Flowers SHOW us, in their own QUIET way, patterns of imbalance that we may be holding onto, and entreat us to make shifts to help us live a more comfortable, enjoyable life. Flowers help us to OPEN UP to the world and SHOW our Inner Beauty. They lead the way for us.

Flowers, again, I salute you. Thank you for bringing such a VIBRANT RAINBOW of colors, beauty and scent into our lives.

I CHOOSE to stop and smell the Roses.

I CHOOSE to see the beauty in a meadow of lavender.

I CHOOSE to MARVEL at all the wonderful tools at our fingertips, which can, if we CHOOSE to ALLOW them to, enrich our lives.

I have DEEP Appreciation for the Flowers in this world, sharing such JOY and LOVE with us.

December 10 - Appreciation

I went in and helped the Kindergarten Teacher this afternoon. Spending a little time in a Kindergarten room can substantially increase one's Appreciation for what the Kindergarten Teacher must do during the year she has these kids in her charge.

The kids come to Kindergarten at so many different levels of ability, and these magicians we call Kindergarten Teachers TRANSFORM total chaos into DivineORDER and learning.

To take 20+ wiggly, squiggly, boisterous beings, used to lots of free time, and doing as they please, and bring order, logic and learning TOGETHER WITH them, giving them a sense of wonder and desire to learn more as they enter their academic years is INDEED a daunting task. Here, we are almost 5 months into this school year, and it is an extraordinary experience participating from time to time in the classroom, watching the children grow, mature and BEGIN to write, read, TRANSFORM. Day by day, week by week, these TINY children LEARN how to LEARN.

THANKS to all the Kindergarten Teachers out there. They are FULL of MAGIC.

December 9 - Appreciation

I went to my Snowflake crochet patterns today. I created them last year using CHARM-LIGHT to help me focus and CREATE. I crocheted the first two, and immediately the grandkids absconded with them.

Cammarie made a Snowflake bracelet for a friend, and Dean...wow Dean, barely 6 years old, asked me to show him how to make crochet chains, and the absolute DARLING that he is, he made a bracelet for his mom, with a Snowflake on it. He learns so amazingly fast...I showed him in perhaps 5 minutes how to make chains with crochet, and he did the bracelet part all on his own.

I have so much Appreciation for the small things in this world. The little pleasures. I relax and crochet often. I love creating beauty with crochet.

I'm taken back to my daughter's first Christmas while she was in college. She came home for the HOLIDAY. My Christmas tree had many crocheted items on it. She showed so much Appreciation for them, and asked me about taking some back to school with her. I told her that all the crocheted items on the tree could be hers, and she could take them all when she left. She then proceeded to GIVE away crocheted items from my tree to friends who visited the house that year. Wow! How fun! Slowly my tree was being depleted of decor. Then came the day she was helping me take down the decorations while she was packing to go back to school. Her dad watched as she was putting all the crocheted items in her bags to take with her..."hey what are you doing?" "Mom said I could have them!" A quick look to me to see the smile on my face, and Dad conceded.

That was the first year my Christmas tree was undecorated throughout the Christmas season. Since then, every year people who visit my house walk away with crocheted decor this time of year.

I rarely buy much in the way of traditional Christmas gifts anymore. Most of my Christmas comes from Kat's HEART. Every year it's all new decor, every year it gets depleted as the season matures, and every year I feel my HEART SOAR as I contribute to others' Christmas decor.

I Appreciate, again, Switchwords, especially CHARM-LIGHT for helping me CREATE NEW recipes for HOLIDAY crochet decor. CHARM-LIGHT, though coined for making DELICIOUS dishes, will BRING absolute MAGIC to creating NEW crochet patterns, and I suspect anything you wish to make DAZZLE.

December 8 - Appreciation

Again, several Success Stories were added to the Switchwords Database today. I CONTINUE to BE in AWE of the power of Switchwords. A few things added today include:

DIVINE-Hu-PERFECT-life partner-NOW-SOMEHOW.
(Increase personal ability to feel the world with love, and fill the world with love, feel satisfied with a life partner now, release the details and let it be.)

To find your soul mate, marriage, love.

New Success Story: Good news and a success story. I found my true love and got engaged last month. Thanks for your help. The Switchwords which you gave worked very well. Thanks a lot. I am blessed to have you in my life. (Switchphrase given by Girija.)

-----

DIVINE-CRYSTAL-REACH.
(Increase personal ability to clarify the situation and find what you are looking for.)

New Success Story: This Switchphrase has worked again today within 5 minutes of chanting on adding NOW, thank you.

-----

DIVINE-BRING-MAGIC-CHARM-SOMEHOW.
(Increase personal ability to deliver the goods, be enchanted, manifest your heart's desires, release the details and let it be.)

Given for getting a job already applied for but not yet hired.

New Success Story: I got the job. Thank you so much. I didn't use the Switchwords that much, but I guess even reading it once or twice works.

-----

I have great Appreciation for my spiritual/energy connections. Most every day I receive answers to healing questions asked. I LISTEN to suggestions that are brought to me, and I pass the information along. Often it makes a big difference. I Appreciate that my Source, Spirit, Universe, All-That-Is supports me in my endeavors.

Sometimes people tell me that Switchwords and Energy Circles don't work for them, and then they so often go on to explain themselves, and I see how they are working, but the filters people see the world through often prevent them from seeing it.

One example is an Energy Circle for selling a house, given several months ago. A number of offers have come in, but each has been rejected for one reason or another. The interpretation of the house seller is that the Energy Circle is not working...my perspective is that it is bringing opportunities, and perhaps, if the offers do not meet with expectations either something can be done to upgrade the house, or perhaps a new focus added to the Energy Circle will help to increase the offers. However, I have found that Switchwords will not bring about an over-valued sale. They work to the advantage of all parties concerned, including the seller and the buyer, regardless of which is the Requester.-----

I was given the opportunity to enjoy all three of my grandchildren today. I LOVE it when they can spend time TOGETHER, and when the opportunity arises for US to BRING them TOGETHER for a few hours, I Appreciate the experience.

The youngest has been a bit reticent to explore the jetted tub with the jets turned on. After each of his cousins had their jetted tub bath, he requested one today, and really enjoyed the bubbles. It is an incredible experience watching children grow and learn and experience.

A bag full of paper airplanes accompanied my daughter's kids when they arrived. They have been creating many different designs and at the ripe old ages of 6 and 7 have already begun their careers as aerospace engineers. What fun!

Nothing matches the JOY of experiencing children in their unbridled play, engineering and simply BEing in life.

December 7 - Appreciation

Just now I was thinking about all the Success Stories that come in, and how much Appreciation I have for those willing to share them. As I enter them into the Databases, I wind up losing track of what came in when, and how many come in. Then I realized an option I have as Administrator of the Databases - I can look up all the new activity in them. Oh yes! Wow! How AMAZING it is to have a husband who had the forethought to have that option available for me!

Added today were:

QUIET-CRYSTAL-RESTORE-REACH-NOW-DONE-SOMEHOW.
(Quiet the ego, clarify the situation, restore fairness and honesty, find what you are looking for now, create completion, release the details and let it be.)

DIVINE-REACH.
(Increase personal ability to find what you are looking for.)

WOLF.
(Increase confidence.)

New Success Story: I had lost my silver jewelry a month back, searched a lot but did not find it and forgot about it thinking will not find it in any case. A few days back read a success story of finding lost item, I chanted Switchwords 2 days ago and to my amazement and joy found it today.

----------------

BRING-PERFECT-COPY-WITH-BENEVOLENT-EASE.
(Deliver the goods, be satisfied with the results of fertility (baby), harmonize well with being peacefully accepting, calm down and simplify the task at hand.)

For labor/child birth.

New Success Story: Your Switchwords for a smooth delivery worked. I am a first time mom and I only pushed for 38 minutes. It wasn't a walk in the park but as deliveries go it kind of was! Thank you.

----------------

TAP-TOUCH-LISTEN-BETWEEN-TENDER-RENDEZVOUS.
(Adapt, gather serenity and strength, create a supportive impact, connect with your Inner Being, increase psychic awareness, negotiate successfully, meeting of the minds to mutual benefit.)

New Success Story: Last week I asked you to help me for a court case. Your suggestion helped me. The guy has agreed to withdraw it.

----------------

Every day is exciting, looking forward to what NEW experiences are coming my way.

I also spent time today working on putting TOGETHER information on Color Mudras. I am working on simplifying the complex (SHOULDER) instructions for these Mudras so i can add them to Blue Iris Learning Center. Perhaps by the first part of the week I will start posting the articles for Color Mudras.

I also am working on getting the Spandan Mudras input into the new vial I have been working on the past few years...Blue Iris Wellness. The vial is not yet (officially) for sale. It started off as my own combinations of techniques for some disciplines I use, but has expanded to including much, much more.

----------------

My life holds so much to Appreciate! Many THANKS to all who BRING me so much to Appreciate!

Daily December Appreciation
December 6, 2013

I have been writing on Kat Thoughts at Facebook, Appreciation for each day throughout this month, and wanted to BRING my thoughts here as well. I may post daily, or at times compile a few days (as I have below).

--------------------

December 1 - Appreciation

December 1 is my eldest's birthday. He was born two months premature and we fought long and hard to keep him with us, oh so many years ago.

He thrives and has shown us such JOY for so many years. It has been an AMAZING life, sharing it with him. I Appreciate every moment of my life, knowing that my Sunny (love calling him that, as he brightens the day) is here with me. May we KEEP you, my Sunny, for many, many more birthdays.

--------------------

December 2 - Appreciation

Today, I begin to look forward to the festivities and joy of the season. I contemplate which shifts I could make in my crochet as we MOVE into the season and the year begins dwindling. I have not looked at my Snowflake patterns for about a year (see patterns at https://kk.blueiris.org/ ). I wonder if I will want to make them, or perhaps CHOOSE to BRING forward some NEW ones. I love quick, simple beautiful crochet, because it allows me to TRICKLE (share) with others around me.

BLESSED-THANKS-AWE.
(Feel gratitude and appreciation, stop regretting and release guilt, be aware of your singular place in the Universe, be your authentic self, the world is better because you are here!)

December 3 - Appreciation

Today I worked more on compiling information on Mudras for Blue Iris Learning Center. I added information about the Adi (Surrender) Mudra on the Forum and in the subscription area of Blue Iris. It is fascinating to read up on the Mudras and see all that is available, then compile it and make it quickly and easily available for reference.

So far I have done:

Adi (Surrender) Mudra
Beginning, Commencement

Chin/Gyan Mudra
Unified Consciousness, Gesture of Knowledge, Elated Consciousness

Mahasirs (Headache) Mudra
Headache relief

Pushan/Acceptance Mudra
This Mudra represents the gesture of acceptance, as well as giving.

This list is at:
https://blueiris.org/community/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=848&Itemid=261

I anticipate frequent updates with additional Mudras and expanding information on what is there. I love and appreciate my friends giving me additional input and thoughts about the Mudras.

I also updated the FLOWER Energy Circles article at Blue Iris Learning Center today, adding configuration files for downloading for the Energy Circle Creator - learn about it at https://ecc.blueiris.org/ - making it every easy to take Energy Circles for editing in the program.

I found myself totally amazed at the easy with which I am able to update the articles and work with the configuration files for generating the Energy Circles. What an AMAZING man I have, to CREATE such simplicity for me.

I also awakened to a message from Rhoda telling me she had updated information in the Switchwords Database. I always LOVE those messages. The Database continues to grow by leaps and bounds, allowing us to find so quickly and easily the things we are looking for.

Recently, we have been adding Energy Circles to the Databases too, making it easy to get a graphic representation of things being presented there. I just checked and we currently have 475 entries that have Energy Circle information in them. Wow! That's AMAZING.

I also checked to see how many entries have at least one Success Story and we now have 489. Sometimes it's fun to just search on Success Stories and read what is in there.

I've been compiling my Personal Switchphrases in the Database for quite some time, and just did a search showing me that currently I have 513 of my own Switchphrases in the Database, all added one at a time.

As people have given me quotes to translate into Switchwords, I have added those to the Database as well. Right now we have 52 entries that are a "Switchwords way of saying..."

Some time ago Rhoda did me the honor of adding all the Switchphrases that are listed for enhancing Flower Energies into the Database. I have not defined all of them yet, but many have been, and as I get time to update them, I do. Right now we have 258 Switchphrases for enhancing Flower Energies in the Database, and I only have 162 of them left to define (slowly but surely I am getting there).

Rhoda also entered the Switchphrases associated with the 82 Vibrational Balancing Images for me, and all of them have been defined (whoooo hoooo!).

Though I have not entered every Switchwords Birthday Wish I have made on groups into the Database, at this moment in time we have 77 there.

The versatility of the Switchwords Database often astounds me. I have been so BLESSED to be able to express my desires and have Joe BRING them to fruition for me.

There is INDEED great Appreciation here, for all that I have and all that I DO.

BLESSED-THANKS-AWE.

December 4 - Appreciation

It is so AMAZING to read success stories people post on groups. A few came in today, and as they come in I try to add them to the Databases. One using CUT-OFF-LIMIT-GUARD for getting rid of an "evil eye" and to stop negative effects of neighbors was added to the Switchwords Database today...

Success Stories: Achieved success with the Energy Circle for bad bad habits that can be used for other emotions also, used it to keep off evil eye. For a long time, I can say years,a neighbor maintained wrong attitude of interference in my family's life. We had caught them several times listen to our private conversations too, since the day Energy Circle was broadcast they seem to have disappeared. My intention was to cut off the negativity or evil eye & not the person. They no longer seem to spy us. Two days back they came to us for work and surprisingly and amazingly, they were very sweet.

I have so much Appreciation for others sharing like this, giving others the opportunity to utilize it for their own situations.

BLESSED-THANKS-AWE.

Wow! December 5th Appreciation...Dawnalee, and friends like her who have, and CONTINUE to ENHANCE my life.

Dawnalee has known me for well over 20 years. We were introduced to and grew into energy healing techniques TOGETHER.

Dawnalee was my first contractor when I was doing medical transcription...was in a panic that the work was about to explode when I first met her. We worked TOGETHER many a long hour as I trained her in the work, and as things expanded she was absolutely invaluable...back then I was Precision Typing.

Now I am totally out of transcription and totally into Switchwords and Energy Work...and I believe the same is true of her.

Dawnalee has an amazing touch, and has been the main source of new Flower Energies added to the vial for years. I am greatly enhanced by her friendship.

BLESSED-THANKS-AWE.

December 6 - Appreciation

Switchwords came into my life in April 2007. A dear friend of mine sent me a link to the e-book that was then available from Shunyam Nirav. The book allowed one to read the first 43 pages for free, and then asked for payment to read the rest. In reading specifically about REACH, I found that that Switchword almost exactly matched the definition of the file "Lost, Forgotten, Need to Remember and How to Find" linked to the Emotional Freedom vial.

I decided I needed the whole book and bought it. Since then I have been having a LOVE affair with Switchwords. I joined Nirav's Switchwordsgroup on Yahoo, began participating very actively in the group, and found myself so aligned with Switchwords that I was giving advice on usage almost from the GET-GO.

I offered my services to Nirav as a moderator for his group, and when Nirav passed on in 2008, I took ownership of the Yahoo Switchwordsgroup and have maintained it since.

I later found a mostly inactive Switchwords group on Facebook, joined it, and soon found myself an administrator thereof. In 2011, a notification that the group was of an old format that could not be brought forward into the newer Facebook groups format sent me to creating a new Switchwords group on Facebook. On May 5, 2011, I founded the current Facebook Switchwords group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/197272440315306/ -  and I brought Rhoda to help me manage it.

NOW, today, our Switchwords group on Facebook has blossomed to 2,133 members in less than 3 years. We are growing by leaps and bounds, and that means that every day more and more people are benefiting from Switchwords.

Looking to James T. Mangan's book, The Secret of Perfect Living, it was first published in 1963. As I realized 2013 was coming to a close and we had not yet celebrated 50 years of Switchwords, I decided that I would GIVE Switchwords a birthday, December 6.

Though Mangan worked with Switchwords for years before he published his book, the initial public introduction to the concept came with publication of his book in 1963, so I decided to DECLARE them to be 50 years old.

Much Appreciation is felt here for James T. Mangan, for his research and introduction of Switchwords in 1963, for Shunyam Nirav for his reintroduction of Switchwords, bringing focus to a nearly lost technique in 2006, and to Switchwords themselves for having come into my life and for allowing me to FIND NEW ways to BRING them to the world.

May Switchwords continue to FLOWER WITH all of humanity.

EMBRACE-Switchwords-TOGETHER.

December Theme:  Appreciation
December 1, 2013

The last two months we focused on Contemplate and Forgiveness. This month we turn to Appreciation. Appreciation shows gratitude, thankful recognition. Let us look to the waning days of the year with Appreciation for all of our experiences throughout these 12 months. What has this year brought to you? Has your knowledge expanded? Have you overcome challenges? Take time each day throughout this month to notice something for which you have Appreciation, be it something in the current moment or reflections of the past. Focus on it. Expand it. Linger in the space of Appreciation. SHOW it thankful recognition, Appreciation.

APPRECIATION
A Poem by Girija Sridhar

The year end Theme aptly is Appreciation,
Let US all SHOW thankful recognition.
Your day may have brightened by a single SMILE,
BE appreciative, make it your unique style.
Appreciating anything is truly a delight,
So UPlifting and always right.
Whether a REFLECTion of the past or something in the present,
Let gratitude and appreciation, BE just as frequent.
WITH appreciation comes a sense of JOY and PEACE,
Happiness and contentment are sure to increase.
Contemplate ON all you received through the year,
Feel satisfied, recognize and BE FULL of CHEER!
Never miss an opportunity to appreciate,
Let it always BE your finest trait.

Switchphrases:
BLESSED-BENEVOLENT-ENVELOPE-PERFECT-CLAP.
(Feel gratitude and appreciation, receive generosity, make a priority feeling satisfied, and showing appreciation.)

How Do I Know I Am the One Creating My World?
November 24, 2013

CONSIDER what you experience in life is 10% what happens and 90% the story you CREATE about what happens. CONSIDER also that from your emotional state you make decisions about what to do, where to go from here, etc. So, as you move along you do things that ALIGN WITH the energy vibrations from which you FLOW. Each experience you have, you have a choice as to how you will interpret it...whether you interpret it is good or bad, frustrating or elevating, etc. It is by the story that you tell yourself about the specific happenings that determines how you feel.

For example: Let's say you have anger toward someone who has been your friend in the past. They did something that you decided was hurtful to you. You don't want to see them again. You've decided they are not your friend anymore. There is a knock at your door. When you answer the door there is this former friend. You feel cold and angry.  You tell them you don't want to talk to them and then close the door in their face. Now you created a continued anger, frustration and reconnected to the feelings that you had about that friend. You did not give them a chance to do anything to CHANGE that. You have no idea why they came by, but it was a very bad and anger-inspiring experience seeing them at the door. Now you are focused on that, probably for the rest of the day, and you have one bad experience after another.

Now let us set up another scenario for the same thing. You have the same feelings about this person, but you are wondering about the possibility of restoring the relationship. You're wondering if you did something to cause them to react the way they did. Now they knock on the door, and when you see them you realize you have the opportunity to mend the fence between you. You look at them and each of you at the same moment starts to say you're sorry. You feel relief come. You sit down with them discuss things, let go of the hurt and anger, and suddenly your friend is back in your life. You feel good. The day shifts and you enjoy the rest of the day.

What if in the first scenario your friend intended to mend fences, but your reaction to them being there stopped that dead in its tracks? What if they had been in the intention of forgiveness, but your reaction overruled that and they shifted once again to anger, resentment and frustration? What if they decided they no longer wanted to forgive? What if they too had a bad day after the interlude, as both of you again aligned with the negative emotions?

Now a third scenario....What if they were there to give you a piece of their mind, to return to you gifts you had given them because they did not want to be reminded of you ever again, and wanted to completely sever ties with you? You on the other hand were in a forgiving mood and really just wanted your friend back, and had the intention of making things right between you. Upon opening the door they thrust your gifts in your hands and begin to say that they never want to see you again, but you do not allow the negative state where they are to influence you. Your intention is to mend the friendship. You accept what they are saying and tell them what you are thinking...you are sorry for how things have gone between you and you miss them, want them back in your life. They may stop in the tracks, reevaluate where they are standing and shift to a positive space, now choosing to be your friend again. They may be in a space where they are not willing to do that, but you have given them the opportunity, and whether they CHOOSE to BE your friend again or not is their choice, but you chose to BE their friend. And it can leave you in a much calmer, relaxed state.

CONSIDER your actions, driven by your thoughts and your emotions, CREATE your experience. You can go through the same thing with a different perspective and completely CHANGE the outcome. It is not just action (what you do) that creates your experience, and it is not just your intention, nor just your emotional state, it is all three that work TOGETHER to CREATE your life experience.

Creating Friendships
November 17, 2013

Are you lonely? Feel like you have no friends? Nobody calls on you. You feel you must always make the first contact or there is no contact ever made?

CONSIDER that any relationship that is important to you - TAKE 100% responsibility for maintaining it. So what if you call first? You are the one who wants the relationship. CONSIDER in all relationships, if you expect others to TAKE responsibility for maintaining it, you will be disappointed, every time.

NOW let us look at Switchwords for creating friendships...

CIRCULATE is to end loneliness and to mingle.
EVAPORATE is to mingle with your environment, to make a difference.
DIVINE-TOGETHER is to improve interpersonal relationships.
TOUCH is to create a supportive impact.
BETWEEN is to improve telepathy, but I believe it also is about working on the relationship between people.

CONSIDER-CIRCULATE-EVAPORATE-DIVINE-TOGETHER-TOUCH-BETWEEN.
(Fix this, end loneliness, mingle with your environment, make a difference, improve interpersonal relationships, create a supportive impact, work on relationships with other people.)

Use this Switchphrase. Start making first contact. See what happens.

What If I Don't Feel the Energy Work?
November 16, 2013

Today I was asked about feeling the energy of Switchwords, Energy Circles, well any energy work. How do you know if it is working if you do not feel it?

Personally, when I do energy work, I do not feel the shift as it happens...I simply realize later, wow, it did work!

I use PERSONAL-HOLD...when I start to feel an urge to void and nowhere to go. I will intend it or maybe even say it several times, and still feel the pressure...then as my mind wanders elsewhere...SUDDENLY several minutes later I realize the urge is gone and I safely make it to a space before it returns.

I may have a headache...I think, I wish to feel refreshed, calm and relaxed, use CHANGE or ADJUST or even perhaps 160 Hz. I still feel the headache. I find myself, again, focusing somewhere else, and then again SUDDENLY realize sometime later, the headache is gone. I have no idea when it left, but it did.

ALONE is the Switchword for healing. What if how they are working for me is by getting my focus OFF whatever it is that I wish to clear/heal, to ALLOW it to heal?

Why worry about feeling the results? When you are looking to feel the results...you are attaching to lack of feeling them, which in turn keeps you from feeling them.... So, why not just INTEND the Switchwords to work for you, and MOVE ON?

SUDDENLY-ALLOW-ALONE-BE-MOVE-ON.

CONSIDER You Must DECLARE It
November 16, 2013

To make something the truth, CONSIDER you must DECLARE it first to CREATE it next.

CONSIDER-DECLARE-CREATE-SPEED-CLOUDS-RAINBOW-CIRCULATE-GOLD-EVER.
(Fix this, create possibilities, transform thought into action, bring about good fortune, abundance and prosperity, miraculous formation of event, create a colorful conscious life, dreams beckon reality, mingle, shine under pressure, enduring rewards, be in peace and maintain wellness, be unaffected by ridicule and negative or contrary energy, maintain continuity and keep it going.)

A Switchwords way of saying, "All is absolutely wonderful as life is gloriously prosperous and I am totally healthy and fulfilled beyond belief and all my connections and life experiences are beyond magnificent and this is 100% truthful so I am totally allowing space for others to join me."

Remember, if you can't CHANGE it...
If there is only one option...
If it already has been so...
CHOOSE it.

Never try to BE in another's shoe.

NEW! Flower Pendant Pouch History
November 3, 2013

I have had requests for a way to protect Pendant Vials.  As all Energy Vials are (and must be) glass, they are vulnerable to breakage.  I have been looking for a way to help protect them.

As I looked into what could be done, I wanted to address all CONCERNS associated with Pendant Energy Vials.

I have used chains and cords for working with Pendant Vials.  Chains occasionally have broken, and there has been some concern about clasps on cords either failing or not being easily hooked together.

The cost of Pendant Energy Vials also was something I wanted to address.  Because Pendant Vials cost me more, and require substantially more work and materials, I have to charge extra for them.

With the NEW Flower Pendant Pouch, I have addressed all these CONCERNS and more.

Several months ago I found a new nylon crochet thread.  The nylon thread is much stronger than regular crochet thread.  Having worked for many years with different types of yarn, I have found the nylon to be invaluable as a strong and durable yarn.  I chose this nylon crochet thread for creating the Flower Pendant Pouches.

This past August, my sister asked me to make some Flower Earrings for her.  Eventually, out of the Flowers I developed for those Earrings, came the Flower used for the Flower Pendant Pouch grew.  

I looked for a way to create a pouch that was easy to use, didn't require buttons, clasps or drawstrings, could be worked in one piece and would hold the Vials safely and securely.  Using CHARM-LIGHT (as I often do when looking to develop a new pattern), the thought came to me to have a flap that overlaps the bottom from the top, and has the edges sewn down, allowing for easy access to insert and remove the vial, but keeping it securely in place once inside.  My first try proved the design to be PURRFECT.  I have been using the Flower Pendant Vial Pouches since the day I completed the first one.  The vials stay securely in place.

I chose to face the pouch flap toward the Flower, which gives an extra layer of security for keeping the vial safely in the pouch.

I chose also to work the Pouch and the chain in one continuous piece, as areas where two pieces are joined tend to be the "weakest link."  The crocheted chain is long enough to go over the head, and also places the Vial securely at the center of the chest, ready for work at any and every moment.

One other advantage of the Flower Pendant Pouch is that Vials can be interchanged easily.  It obviates the need for multiple Pendant Vials.  CHOOSE any vial you want, put it in the Pouch, and have it available to you anytime, anywhere.

CHOOSE from a dozen beautiful Flower colors, which can be mixed and matched with Pouches to CREATE the presentation you want.

Flower Pendant Pouches are NOW available for $14.99 USD at https://blueiris.biz

Inner Thoughts
November 1, 2013

The world around you reflects your inner thoughts. As you judge the world, so shall the world return to you.

CHOOSE to find a golden nugget in every situation (Chocolate), and put your focus on that (HIGHEST POTENTIAL). Let go (POSTPONE) what doesn't serve your joyful purpose, including anger and resentment (CLEAR).

CHOOSE-Chocolate-HIGHEST POTENTIAL-POSTPONE-CLEAR.
(Release old pains, be empowered, find a golden nugget in every situation, focus on positive aspects, let it go, dispel anger and resentment.)

November Theme: Forgiveness
November 1, 2013

The last two months we focused on Wonder and Contemplate, this month we look to Forgiveness. Forgiveness allows us to let go of blame, judgment and remorse. Forgiveness releases you from the ties that bind you to those you now CHOOSE to FORGIVE. Forgiveness is not about the person being forgiven; it is about the person doing the forgiving. You are the one who suffers the pain and anguish when you hold onto unforgiveness. Let us give ourselves the gift of Forgiveness this month.

November 18th is the birthday of the Emotional Freedom vial.  The Emotional Freedom vial is one of the first vials developed by Kat Miller, in 2005, as a way to energetically run the Emotional Freedom Techniques. It has been said that the Emotional Freedom vial SUPERcharges EFT, and while Gary Craig said that with the Emotional Freedom Techniques we were on the ground floor of a healing high-rise, some Emotional Freedom vial owners have said that the Emotional Freedom vial is the 82nd floor!

FORGIVE
A Poem by Girija Sridhar

From hatred and revenge emerges only bitterness,
And lost is the fragrance of LOVE, in the wilderness.

This heavy burden has so changed my countenance,
That I have ruined my child-like INNOCENCE.

Learning to FORGIVE, transcends me to another plane,
Where I FIND release from the bonds of hate and pain.

With forgiveness, all negative emotions FADE,
And from within, I glow like the precious Jade.

Forgiving is so DIVINE, no less a resurrection,
Freeing me FOREVER, from suffering and suffocation.

The healing brings the ultimate reward,
From darkness to LIGHT, like a glimpse of the Lord.

I reflect deeply and completely FORGIVE,
To CREATE a world where only PEACE and Harmony live.

Switchphrases:
LOVE-WITH-OPEN-HEART-FORGIVE.
(Generate, radiate and experience love and acceptance, harmonize well with freeing the mind, breathing easier, dispelling inhibitions and allowing, center in joy, eliminate remorse, end desire for revenge.)

LAUGH
October 29, 2013

CONSIDER-LAUGH as a therapy for healing. A good belly LAUGH at least two to three times a day can BE very healing. CONSIDER watching comedies or reading jokes that BRING the laughter to you. LAUGH your way to wellness.

I have been reading the book Deadly Emotions by Don Colbert, M.D. He talks about the therapeutic qualities of laughter, some of which include:

Increases immunoglobin A, which helps protect against respiratory tract infections

Increases gamma interferon, the immune system's front-line defense against viruses

Increases B cells tha produce antibodies directly against harmful bacteria

Increases complement 2, a combination of proteins that acts as a catalyst in antibody reactions

One citation he makes in the book include a lady with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, high blood pressure and arthritis, all abating with LAUGH therapy.

Remember, JOY is a choice, a choice you make. Nothing in life can BRING you JOY. Some things may BRING a moment of happiness, but JOY is a choice you make. Regardless of what is going on around you, when you CHOOSE JOY you can BE there anyway.

I have just defined LAUGH as a Switchword:

LAUGH – boost the immune system; connect to youth and longevity; feel good (O) (77%)

MONA LISA-GIGGLE-CHUCKLE-LAUGH.
(Smile, enjoy what you are doing, turn on personality and feel good.)

Rock-WITH-GRACE
October 14, 2013

Rock-WITH-GRACE.
(Bring about solidarity and unity, harmonize well with smoothing the rough spots.)

Awesome for dry cracked feet.

Note from Kat: My heels have had very deep fissures in the past. Often it would hurt to walk on them. I started using Bag Balm on them years ago, which really helped a lot. I still had some fissures, however.

A while back I started using Rock-WITH-GRACE for my feet. I started massaging them with a coconut oil lotion morning and evening, and while doing so chanting Rock-WITH-GRACE, giving them attention for several minutes each morning and evening. They really began to smooth a lot.

Then a while back one morning while massaging the coconut oil lotion into them I was prompted to also use a fine grit sandpaper on them. Now a fine grit sandpaper is used each morning, followed by the lotion massage. There are no more fissures, and they are feeling much softer and smoother.

Pay ATTENTION to thoughts that come to you about changing routines or adding to routines when you use Switchwords. It may be your Inner Being trying to direct you in ways that will bring to fruition the requests you are making with the Switchwords.

Rock-WITH-GRACE.
(Bring about solidarity and unity, harmonize well with smoothing the rough spots.)

BEAM to the Rescue!
October 10, 2013

Last night a friend called, wanting to meet at the park this morning, to have kids play and us talk. Great! So that was the plan.

This morning when I went outside, it was dark, cold and overcast. Heavy clouds looking like they were ready to burst. Oh dear!

We had about an hour before our planned trip to the park, so I spent the time BEAM-BEAM-BEAMing frequently. I told the grandkids we wanted to BEAM the clouds away, so they also assisted.

Then it was time to go. Still a lot of dark clouds out there, but the sun was shining through them, and some had cleared a bit. Off to the park we went.

The next two hours were spent enjoying the park, with the sun shining on us. It was not real warm (only in the low 60s), but it was beautiful. The kids enjoyed their time. We enjoyed our conversation, and the rest of Tucson enjoyed the overcast sky.

Now we are home it is okay to QUENCH-WITH-Raindrops (though Dean was asking for QUENCH-WITH-snow).

BEAM seems always willing to GIVE us a break anytime we CHOOSE it.

THANKS-BEAM!

The Trinity of Most Requested Topics
October 9, 2013

At the Facebook Switchwords group, I was asked for Switchword solutions to the three most common topics. Below are my thoughts:

NEW! Flower Energy: Comet______
October 9, 2013

Last week, when I sent out the Switchphrase for the Comet ISON, I received a response from Dawnalee Shields, one of our Flower Energies developers, informing me that a NEW Flower Energy had come forward as she read about ISON:

Comet _____ (insert the name of your favorite one)
Positive Qualities:
Abundant attraction of peace, love, joy and prosperity; supports us in fulfilling our purpose of forgiving and healing ourselves and by extension others with whom we interact; well seen is well-loved.

Patterns of Imbalance:
Fearful of expressing one’s true nature, unwilling to be seen for whom we really are; distancing ourselves emotionally in a false attempt to protect ourselves. Creating stress as we “wait for the other shoe to drop” in relationships when what we keep hidden is revealed. (DAW)

Switchphrase to enhance:
KEEP-JOY-LIGHT-ON-US-GO.

I also discussed ISON with Marianne yesterday on the Kat Talks Talkcast series:
Click here to listen to Episode 220:
ISON Comet, New Flower Energies and More

Click here for an article I found discussing Famous Comets.

ISON Sungrazing Comet
October 5, 2013

October 2013 through early January 2014: Comet ISON

ISON, a Sungrazing Comet is currently creating a lot of excitement for astronomers and sky watchers. Because in November it will come close to the Sun, it is called a Sungrazing Comet. ISON should be visible to the unaided eye from November through early January. One place with some interesting reading on ISON is:
https://www.lunarplanner.com/Snippets/13.11-Comet-ISON/

The feelings I get from ISON are a positive flow, excitement and reunion. A friend requested a Switchphrase for the few months for accentuating the positive aspects.

Switchphrase: KEEP-JOY-LIGHT-ON-US-GO.

This Switchphrase means: Feel cherished, increase bliss, lighten your load and be inspired, get new ideas, nourish ambition, unify and progress.

I have also created an Energy Circle for this Switchphrase for ISON:

October Theme: Contemplate
October 1, 2013

The last two months we have focused on Manifest and Wonder. October is here, and it's NOW time to Contemplate. Think about life; what is it that you want? How did you get to here? Is here where you want to be? If you wish to MOVE forward, MOVE ON, FIND something NEW, NOW is the time to think things through. Look into the details, how can it become? What brought you to this place, and how can you get what and where you want? Contemplate.

Switchphrase:  FATHOM-DEEP-SOCRATES-Sandbox-NEW.
(Develop deeper understanding, give focused attention, look deeply into the focus, see different perspectives for a more solid foundation from which to make decisions, keep creative juices flowing as new challenges and beneficial possibilities are discovered, form innovation.)

CONTEMPLATE!
A Poem by Girija Sridhar

Beautiful October shall BRING US Contemplation,
It says, "Look within for CALM reflection."

When you Contemplate, to yourself you REVEAL,
How WITH many issues, you wish to deal.

It will OPEN doors to knowledge of the Self,
That you had forgotten, ON your bookshelf!

Contemplation is like your favorite teacher,
Soon, will GIVE you the PERFECT answer.

As the past, present, and future FLOW like a river,
You look DEEP, you make decisions, you become stronger.

MOVE forward, and GIVE focused ATTENTION,
Life will OPEN possibilities, like the vast ocean.

Transmute fears and concerns about your financial situation to having faith that you will always have what you need in order to sustain and maintain you and your chosen lifestyle. Work diligently toward achieving your spiritual goals, manifesting wealth and positive abundance, and finding balance between your daily work life and your spiritual journey.)

Kat's Heavenly Gingersnaps
October 1, 2013

This recipe makes soft, chewy, heavenly Gingersnaps.  Quite by chance I found the cream to make a real delicious difference.  We were at a family reunion and I had been asked to make Gingersnaps.  One of the two eggs that had been brought along to make the Gingersnaps was broken, and therefore could not be used.  I looked for a possible substitute and added 1/4 cup of heavy cream instead of the second egg.  YUM!

Yield:  about 10 dozen cookies.

As usual CHARM-LIGHT chanted (or intended) while cooking, then following inspiration, turns this into a Masterpiece.

Preheat oven to 325 F.

Directions:
Cream together butter and brown sugar.  Stir in egg, cream, vinegar and molasses.  Sift and add remaining ingredients.  Mix until well blended.  Form dough into 3/4 inch balls.

Bake  on a greased cookie sheet about 12 minutes.   As  the  ball melts down during baking the cookie develops the characteristic crinkled surface. Makes about 10 dozen cookies.

If you can see it you can CREATE it. Let go of I am not...
and just BE what you say you want to BE.

Switching Switches
by Kat Miller
(September 25, 2013)

At times when you are feeling blue,
UP may be a great Switchword for you.

When anger and resentment affect you dear,
Perhaps it's time for the Switchword CLEAR.

You're lonely?  You need some friends?
With the Switchword CIRCULATE, loneliness ends.

Whenever frustration is taking a toll,
OVER will be your Switchword goal.

Someone needs to back off, boundaries need to be set,
LIMIT is your Switchword to get these needs met.

What if this happens? or that? or something else goes wrong?
CANCEL is the Switchword to quit that worrisome song.

Stress has been building, you need to relax and reduce tension.
HO is the Switchword for you to mention.

Your ego is talking, it's running amok,
The Switchword QUIET will help stop that negative self-talk.

Want to connect with yourself, your Inner Being?
LISTEN is the Switchword with this meaning.

If comprehension is what you need.
JUDGE is the Switchword to do the deed.

The game is afoot, the scoring is tight.
To kick it up a notch, the Switchword is FIGHT.

BE is your Switchword for being skillful in sports.
Also when you feel ridiculed, BE helps stop the retorts.

When the day is rainy and you want a break,
Use the Switchword BEAM three times, for sunshine's sake.

The toilet is running, the fridge and oven are not,
CONSIDER is your Switchword to fix what you've got.

To release the need to maintain a routine or break a habit,
The Switchword is FLOW, there you have it.

To avoid carelessness, for detailed work that must be done,
ATTENTION is the Switchword that won.

"I don't want to write." This job is tedious. The party's a bore. 
Use the Switchword GIGGLE to enjoy what you're doing much, much more.

Switchwords and Energy Circles
(September 25, 2013)

I was asked why not just write Switchwords? Why put them in Energy Circles? My thoughts are...

Switchwords are not being broadcast when they are not in an Energy Circle. They are there to read. When you read them you BEGIN to activate them.

It's kind of like a book. You've read it. You remember it. But when you see it sitting on a shelf and read the title, you reconnect to it. It just sitting on the shelf does nothing until it is gazed at, then it activates a memory.

So it is with the Switchwords just written on surfaces...they await your noticing them and activate when you read them.

The Energy Circles broadcast the Switchwords to a space, place, person, or whatever is added to it.

An Energy Circle with no Requester or Focus inserted will generally broadcast to the space where it is hung or set facing up.

An Energy Circle with a Requester (person who wishes to have the Energy Circle affect them) will broadcast the Subject (Switchwords, Defusing Words, Homeopathics, Numbers, etc.) to the Requester, whether they are near or far.

If a Focus (additional person, place, thing to be affected by the Switchwords) is added to the Energy Circle, they too will receive the Energy Circle broadcast.

When placed inside an Energy Circle, the Switchwords are ON for broadcasting, whether they are being read or not.

Without an Energy Circle, the Switchwords are activated when you specifically read them.

What's in a name?
(September 20, 2013)

I have this new little nephew. He was born at 26 weeks and weighed 1 pound 6 ounces. He is now about 3 1/2 months old and has had his share of trials, coming through all with amazing strength.

I thought this morning....because words can be so powerful in creating things, and our names (I believe) really do impact us with the meaning behind them, that I would look up Barrett (his name) and see what the name means...

Barrett means Bear Power, or Brave as a Bear!

Wow.....so with that information in hand I went looking for information that a Bear shares with us to see the Wisdom of a Bear, and here is what I have on it...

Bear represents strength and confidence. Bear teaches us to stand strong in times of adversity. Bear teaches us to take action and leadership.

Life is....

Wallowing in JOY...
BEing in the moment...
ALLOWing each to CHOOSE their own way...
Accepting others (and yourself) as they (and you) are...
Letting GO of judgment...
Recognizing that you and you ALONE CHOOSE how you experience life...
Remembering that it is all story and that you can CHANGE the story to CHANGE how you feel about it...

And most importantly....
to BE enJOYed to its FULLest!

Never put off until tomorrow the JOY you could experience today.

CONSIDER Changing the Story
(August 5, 2013)

One wears filters with regard to everyone in one's life. You bring to the experience stories you have written.

If you are not happy with how the relationship has been, CONSIDER changing the story. That is now the past, and it is only your interpretation of the interactions from the past.

CHOOSE to write a NEW story in the NOW, which then can be brought into the future.

CONSIDER NOW you have great interactions with them. The relationship is beautiful, caring, loving. Imagine it the way you wish it to BE, and BEGIN speaking as though it already is that way.

DIVINE-TOGETHER-REVERSE-RESTORE-TINY-SWEET-MAGNANIMITY-FOR-DIVINE-LOVE-TRICKLE.
(Improve interpersonal relationships, bury grudges, restore fairness and honesty, be courteous, kind and polite, be caring, end pettiness and be generous, promote increased personal ability to generate, radiate and experience love and acceptance, and share this.)

Kat

Feeling desperation helps to keep a situation in
a state that perpetuates desperation.
Acceptance of what is allows one to begin to shift to a new reality.
(August 4, 2013)

And I just set up an Energy Circle with this and a Switchphrase inside it...

Notice how I put the statement about desperation outside the Energy Circle? That was done to specifically put desperation outside the experience.

Turning Dreams into Reality
(July 27, 2013)

CONSIDER you can turn dreams into reality, but it is in you saying it was a dream and you can't have what you dream about that you actually CREATE that you can't have what you dream about. Stop assuming that it cannot BE.

And, it is true...you cannot make anyone else happy. It is not your job to make others happy. In expecting that you can make others happy and not being able to achieve that you cause your own pain. It is not your job...ever.

Your only job is to maintain your focus where you are happy. When you CHOOSE happy, others around you are affected by that choice, and they see additional options, allowing them to be happy too.

Remember...what someone else thinks about you is none of your business, and actually really has nothing to do with you. It has only to do with the filters that they bring to their view of you. And you don't know through which filters they look at you.

What matters is what youthink of other people. Take care of your own filters through which you look at others. For what you think of them is reflected back to you. Use Switchwords as a tool to help you ALLOW your filter to CHANGE.

GLEAN-LAVENDER-Fountain.
(Learn intricacies, let go of anxiety, remember that hope springs eternal.)

My World
(July 16, 2013)

You CREATE your world with your thoughts, your words.

In my world people have integrity.
In my world people are quick to PRAISE and GIVE JOY.
In my world people focus on the best things about life.
In my world we all look for the golden nuggets.
In my world people are absolutely beautiful to be around.
That's my world.

How is your world? (Be careful how you answer...this begins to CREATE your future.)

Dragonflies handcrafted by Kat

Legends of the Dragonfly

The Dragonfly represents the powers of
light and transformation,
and the ability to see through illusion.
The Dragonfly brings prosperity and harmony.

The Dragonfly’s magic is its
light magic, and all of the wonderful
similes, metaphors and clichés
that light has inspired.
Thus, the Dragonfly has come to be
an image that inspires us
to not only learn to practice the
shedding and mirroring of light
in our own lives, but to learn to
see when others are doing it too!

The Dragonfly spirit means
you must consciously make
an effort to express your
hopes, dreams, needs and wishes.

The Dragonfly spirit is the essence of
the winds of change, messages of
wisdom and enlightenment and
communication from the elemental world.

Release need, and CHOOSE desires.
Need perpetuates need.

KAT-THE GUARDIAN ANGEL

Your thoughtful advice works like MAGIC, anywhere you go,
You plant seeds of LOVE and JOY, that grow and grow.

The HEART Hoarder!
(Rewriting a Story)
(May 24, 2013)

Experience is 90% story. Rather than trying to release the negative emotions you have swallowed down regarding experiences, CONSIDER changing the story. Only 10% of an experience is actually what happened, the other 90% being what you decided it meant to you, about you, about the world, the Universe, the person(s) also involved in what happened, etc.

ALLOW me to give you an example of one way to CHANGE a story. This is a personal experience that I had last week...

I have a granddaughter whom I tend 5 days a week. I crochet HEARTs all the time. She (and my other two grandchildren) LOVEs to GIVE HEARTs away to people. She has a reputation at school as a HEART source (and me too, as either Kat or Cammarie's grandma). Anyway, we've been doing this for a long time.

The last while in particular one little girl has been there at the school gate looking for us in the mornings, and has every day wanted to have many HEARTs. She said she wanted them to give to friends, etc., but it felt more like she was hording them for herself. That's how the story started out...this little girl is always looking to get HEARTs from me and Cammarie, as many as either and both of us would give her so she could horde them.

Out of that story came a feeling of wanting to avoid her, wanting to LIMIT her to taking just one or two HEARTs a day, perhaps some resentment of her lying about why she wanted more HEARTs (lying is part of the HEART Horder story...I had no way of knowing if she was lying or not).

BOY, that didn't feel good at all! She just a little girl. So....time to CHANGE that story.,,

What if she LOVEs my HEARTs? What if she just wants to KEEP feeling the LOVE I put into the HEARTs as I crochet them because they feel so good to her? What if it is all about LOVE? Oh wow, someone LOVEs my HEARTs! She wants as many as she can have! How SWEET that is. It feels so good to know that someone LOVEs my HEARTs.

Wow, this new story feels really good.

And...as we are driven by our stories (first story about hording drove me to try to avoid her and KEEP HEARTs away from her), I made about 30 HEARTs of varying sizes and colors, put them in a Ziploc bag, along with one of my cards, which has a poem Mom and I wrote last year on it, and wrote, "I gave (her name) all these HEARTs" on the card.

Interestingly, that day she was not at the gate, and I had to purposely seek her out at the playground. When I saw her, I pulled the Ziploc out of my purse and walked over and handed the HEARTs to her.

What happened next? Her eyes got big, she smiled a huge smile, she gasped, she reached out and gave me a DELICIOUS HUG, thanked me profusely, and then had a magnificent day (okay, the magnificent day is my story). NOW that feels AMAZING.

Story is everything. If you don't like how you feel about something, CONSIDER changing the story to something you like. Remember, it's pretty much all story to which you are reacting. That SIMPLE technique (changing your story) can CHANGE your world.

CONSIDER-CHANGE.
(Fix it, dispel the pain.)

Sideways Uno
(May 9, 2013)

My grandson, Dean, and I created a whole NEW game for Uno.
He coined the term "Sideways Uno."

We decided to address it totally different from the original rules. He's 5.
He loves this way of playing.

Sideways Uno Rules:

1. You cannot play the color or the number that is showing. You must play something
that does not match the top card in the discard pile.

2. If you play a + card (+1, +2 or +4) YOU must draw the specified number of cards.

3. If you play a Reverse card YOU must take a card from another player's hand (you
choose whose cards you pick from).

4. If you play a Skip card, YOU must skip your next turn.

5. The Four-Color Change card keeps the color the same as the card played just before it
(so the next person cannot play that color).

6. If you say Uno when you have one card left, you must draw two cards.

It tends to work better to deal 7, 9 or 11 cards, rather than just 5, as it tends to be
easier to empty your hand playing this way, but it is lots of fun!

Thoughts About Instant Manifestation
(May 8, 2013)

When you are in the NOW, focused on just BEing, you tend to have an easier time with Instant Manifestation.

What is your default setting? Where do you spend most of your focus? That is where the Instant Manifestation tends to happen.

For me, it is in healing and helping.

One amazing Instant Manifestation happened a couple of years ago. I was at the store. I had been walking through the store with one of those hand baskets for probably 10-15 minutes. I came around the end of an aisle and saw a lady standing about 10 feet away. She was struggling to hold onto all the things she was intending to buy. I locked eyes with her. In that instant she and I both thought to ourselves she really needed a hand basket. I heard a crash at my feet. There was a hand basket. Apparently either I had a second basket attached to the one I was carrying when I picked it up and it chose that very second to let go of the one I was carrying, or it simply dropped in out of thin air. Whatever happened, I saw someone in need and I gave them supply. It happened instantly, because that is my default focus...be helpful.

Wherever you KEEP your focus is where you wind UP WITH Instant Manifestation.

NOW is the Switchword to act on good impulse, to end procrastination, to be in the current moment.

CHARM is to manifest your heart's desires.

Perhaps CHARM-NOW would be useful in helping with Instant Manifestation.

Divine and Angel Numbers
(May 5, 2013)

I was asked about Divine Numbers and Angel Numbers. My take on them:

Divine Numbers originated as a a Sufi method of healing based on the numerical values of Divine names and attributes.

One website that discusses Divine Numbers:
https://www.ps-magazine.com/Well-being_94/Self_Healing_Through_Divine_Numbers.shtml

Angel Numbers were originally repeating number sequences said to come from Angel Guides as a way of communicating with you. However, much as Animal Wisdom allows for you to call on Animals to share their Wisdom with you as you desire, rather than relying on one or two Animals throughout your life, you can utilize Angel Numbers to bring about what they represent.

Just as Animal Wisdom can be a two-way street - messages requesting help from the Animals and Animals specifically coming to us to share their Wisdom, so can we make requests of our Angels, besides acknowledging messages coming from them.

One site with a lot of information regarding Angel Numbers, at least what the Angel messages are in repeated sequences coming to us is:

May Responsibility
(May 1, 2013)

May
Theme:  Responsibility
The  last two months we have worked with Nurture and Patience.  NOW  we are set to BEGIN to TAKE Responsibility. In Responsibility we recognize and acknowledge that where we are in our lives is a direct result of decisions we have made up to this point. When we CHOOSE to let go of blame, of ourselves and others, for things that have affected us in our lives, we BEGIN to reclaim our creative power, giving us the ability to build a life of our choosing.

RESPONSIBILITY
A Poem by Girija Sridhar

May says - fulfill promises, TAKE responsibility,
FOR every action, GIVE accountability.
WITH responsibility comes decision-making power,
Ends needless discord, creeping in every other hour.
Being loyal, being fair becomes a part of you,
You GUIDE by example, have an OPEN view.
How the other is affected, you understand and realize,
To outcomes and repercussions, you become wise.
Responsibility lays the foundation to receiving and accepting clarity,
And in you one FINDs, complete trust and honesty.
You possess the ability to look ahead, to think,
WITH Wisdom you look back, WITH conviction, you form a link.
Responsibility teaches you the value of cause and effect,
And this in your character, you amply project.

Switchphrases:
ALIGN-KEEP-53-SKY-CRYSTAL-BUBBLE.
(Support being safe, taking responsibility, open closed viewpoints, let go of limitations, look to the future, clarify things and expand beyond perceived limitations.)

RAINBOW-REFLECT-ROGER-REMISSION-RENDEZVOUS.
(Fulfill promises, look within the details, gain advantage, receive and accept clarity, look to the future with positive expectations, meeting of the minds to mutual benefit with equitable combing and distribution of resources, time and expertise.)

Future Echoes
(May 1, 2013)

This morning, I ran into a lady with whom I had a deep discussion about an experience where, in her mind's eye, she saw something distressful happen to a friend. She shared it with the friend, who scoffed at her, and then sometime later the incident referred to actually happened. The friend then got upset with her, thinking she made it happen.

What's going on here?

My thoughts about something like this....

What if what she had see was what I would call a "future echo," seeing of something that may happen in the future before it happens?

What if a future echo is simply the Universe letting us know that if things continue along the current timeline that there is a great possibility of what is seen in the future echo actually happening?

What if a future echo is simply one way of getting forewarning about something, allowing an opportunity to make changes that prevent or enhance it?

What if everything is connected in time and space, and making a shift can change what the future holds?

What if, when one see a future echo which involves someone they care about and they take action they don't normally take, which then shifts the timeline between the person they saw in the future echo and themselves, which in turn shifts the future event? Like the Butterfly Effect. (From Wikipedia... In chaos theory, the Butterfly Effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions, where a small change at one place in a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences to a later state. The name of the effect, coined by Edward Lorenz, is derived from the theoretical example of a hurricane's formation being contingent on whether or not a distant butterfly had flapped its wings several weeks before.)

What if worries and negative thoughts, scenarios, coming to you are just giving you an opportunity to shift timelines to what you want?

What if worries are just beckoning you to move into the now and pay attention to what you want?

It is not necessary to share your worries with those for whom you worry. Instead try stepping out of your normal routine with them, and do something different, change the timeline, and ALLOW the worries to ZERO OFF.

The future is written in possibilities, until it becomes the NOW!

Instead of focusing on Murphy's law (which I will not quote), how about focusing on Bijan's Law? Whatever can go right, will go right.

ALLOW-ZERO-worries-OFF-NOW.
(Release, dissipate worries, put them to sleep, act on good impulse, now.)

LEARN from your children...They’re here to teach the world.

Switchwords FAQ
(April 27, 2013)

Recently I had someone ask me a few Switchwords questions, and I thought I'd share my answers with you:

Do declaring Switchwords in our mind once, chanting Switchwords and writing Switchwords, all have same effect? or does writing Switchwords give faster results?

It is more how you ALLOW the Switchwords to work FOR you than which way you use them. Some tend to ALLOW them to be more effective if they set intent, say the word then MOVE ON and forget about it. Some FIND if they intently repeat a Switchword it works FOR them more quickly. Some FIND writing them in an Energy Circle and then moving ON works fast FOR them. There is no one answer here.

It is in making the request, knowing it is coming, and letting GO of need that you ALLOW fruition.

When we write Switchwords on a drinking water bottle or inside an Energy Circle, is it necessary to write in capital letters only? Does it affect the results? or is normal writing okay?

To distinguish Switchwords from normal English words, James T. Mangan presented them in FULL caps. Nirav continued same, and so DO I. It really does not matter if you write them in FULL caps, all lower case or anywhere in BETWEEN. It is simply the word you want. So the short answer is normal writing is fine.

According to your experiences, after we print an Energy Circle and keep it on our working desk, approximately how much time it take to get results from it?

Results vary from situation to situation and person to person. It is all about the ALLOW. To ALLOW it you have to stop feeling the lack, the need, having to have it. Let it GO to ALLOW it to BE.

You mentioned once to, "Just place your order with Universe and then wait. Don't get desperate, attached and obsessed with the outcomes." So I'm DOing the same (and the Switchwords are not working for me).

This note is kind of showing that you are not. Quit noticing that it is "not working" to ALLOW it to work. I know, it can be a tough concept.

Switchwords always work. I saw ON your website so many testimonials, and in our Switchwords group also many members have reported their Success Stories. That means, it works. Then I wonder, Why didn't it work for me? That's very unfair.

The world is never fair. You don't get what you want. You get what you ALLOW. You get more of what you don't want when you KEEP screaming that you don't want it. When you BEGIN to feel that it is there (even when it is not) you BEGIN to draw it to you. CONSIDER this... Let GO that Switchwords have to work. Let GO that they didn't work FORyou. Let GO that life is unfair. Let it all GO.

What DO you want? State it cleanly, in a NUTSHELL. No reasons why you want it. No reasons why you can't have it. Nothing but what you want. Write it down. Circle it. Set it aside. Forget about it. Just leave it be and live. Take each day as it comes. Start it WITH a GIGGLE and a smile (MONA LISA). Whistle while you work.

Switchwords are catalysts. They HELP to jump-start you. They GIVE you inspiration to make moves and DO things that PUT you in the right place at the right time FOR miracles to happen. Switchwords sometimes just make things happen, no action taken. But often they spur you into action. When you use Switchwords, LISTEN to your inner voice, promptings. When you feel a desire to DO something outside your ordinary path, DO it. KEEP yourself OPEN to ALLOW shifts to happen. And most importantly, when you feel fear about doing something...don't stop, DO it anyway...BLUFF (dispel fear). It is staying in our comfort zone, not doing things that STRETCH us, holding onto old concepts and ways that prevents us from progressing. CHOOSE to MOVE forward.

CONSIDER that you may have PUT yourself under a deadline that made you feel uncomfortable. You asked Switchwords to fix something that you felt, you believed, was unfixable, but you prayed FOR a MIRACLE to happen. You feared it would not. So NOW let it GO. Deadline passed. Did you die? Are you still here? Okay, worst that could happen didn't happen. Good. NOW then, let us let GO of all that is past. It happened. No changing it. Can only MOVE forward from here. CHOOSE it. SOMEHOW you already have, because you have lived it. To BE empowered FOR the NOW and the future, CHOOSE what already has been and what is NOW. Lay WITH it. BE WITH it. Accept it, then let GO of it and CHOOSE where you wish to GO NOW. And NOW REACH FOR that. BE that.

BLESSED-GOLD.

Writing on Water
(April 27, 2013)

A Success Story...

A friend told me that someone close to her was dealing with Alzheimer's, and that a doctor had suggested using Strattera, a medication used for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) to help with focus, attention and awareness. They gave samples and it really helped, and it also helped increase appetite (which was needed). The cost, however, was prohibitive.

It was suggested that writing "Strattera" on water vessels, or perhaps even on the body may help to bring the positive effects they had experienced with the medication.

Today I heard back from my friend that there has a substantial change since writing Strattera on the bottom of glasses from which the person drinks water, and writing it on a post-it, and placing it on the body under the clothing. There is much more awareness, communication, attention and focus, and appetite has increased, just as it had when taking the medication.

The power of a word.

BLESSED-GOLD.

I placed my hands on some parts of my body that I have been experiencing pain and meditated with the combination. I had two HUGE emotional releases and it was perfectly clear what the blockages were from. It was the most amazing experience for me! You are such a BLESSING! Thank you so much!

-

CHOOSE-SIMPLE-LOVE is working wonders for me. Instant pain relief! Thank you Kat. I had lower back pain and pain at my soles of feet. Chanted CHOOSE-SIMPLE-LOVE. Feeling the pain melt away!!

-

I chanted CHOOSE-SIMPLE-LOVE this morning during my yoga practice and truly, my practice FLOWED! This sw phrase is fast becoming one of my favorites!

-

I chanted CHOOSE-SIMPLE-LOVE this morning when I was in a business meeting and I was coughing and couldn't talk...the air conditioner doesn't suit me. However, my throat quickly (in a few seconds) settled down and I was able to do my part of the presentation without coughing. And my throat is fine now too!

NEW! Energy Circle Creator
(April 20, 2013)

For the past few months we have been working on a program to simplify creating Energy Circles. Until now it has been a bit of an arduous task to create Energy Circles on the computer, especially if you want to have Concentric Energy Circles, Energy Circles with Rays, FLOWER Energy Circles, etc.

The Energy Circle Creator is NOW in the final stages of development and we are looking for people to help in Beta Testing it.  Watch a short demonstration of the EASE in using Energy Circle Creator:  https://blueiris.biz/ecc.swf.html

Creating Energy Circle Sandwiches
(April 18, 2013)

What are Energy Circle Sandwiches?
Energy Circle Sandwiches are two similar Energy Circles drawn or printed and placed facing each other, with whatever is to BE addressed by them placed BETWEEN them.

How do Energy Circle Sandwiches work?
Unlike regular Energy Circles, which broadcast their content to the Requester(s) and (if applicable) the Focus(es), Energy Circle Sandwiches pull the CONCERNS to them and work on them in the space of the Energy Circle Sandwich. This allows for innumerable Energy Circle Sandwiches to be active, working for any Requester(s) at any time.

What are the components used in an Energy Circle Sandwich?

Energy Circles - circles drawn or printed on paper

Energy Circle Sandwich - two similar Energy Circles drawn or printed on separate pieces of paper then put together, facing each other, with Requester(s), Subject(s), Focus(es) and/or CONCERNS either within both Energy Circle or on papers BETWEEN them

Requester(s) - person/people/thing requesting or for whom the Energy Circles are being made

Subject(s) - Switchphrases, Numbers, Frequencies, Homeopathic Remedies, etc., to be applied to the contents (Requester(s), CONCERNS and/or Focus(es))

Focus(es) - person(s), places, things, to included in the broadcast of the information inside the Energy Circles

CONCERNS - things within the relationship between the Requester(s) and themselves and/or the Focus(es), to be addressed by the Subject (pain, leg cramp, relationship, whatever)

How do we make Energy Circle Sandwiches?

Additional Information
Papers BETWEEN the two Energy Circles do not necessarily have to be completely within the bounds of the Energy Circles, as, just like a Sandwich often has overhang outside the bread that you can STILL eat, things overhanging the edges of the two Energy Circles is STILL "eaten" by the Energy Circle Sandwich.

You can stack papers as you wish BETWEEN the Energy Circles, FOR whatever Focus(es) you wish to have addressed.

We have found that an Energy Circle Sandwich will OPEN additional possibilities. The Energy Circle Sandwich removes the Focus from being directly in your energy field, allowing you to have however many Energy Circle Sandwiches you wish.

The original Energy Circles, which go direct to your energy field still remain with a limit of 3 per person. If you CREATE more than that, you may cause either overwhelm or some of the Energy Circles to go inactive. As you do not know which ones will be deactivated, or if it will be overwhelm, it is wisest to KEEP those to a maximum of 3.

CONSIDER the Energy Circle Sandwiches as a completely different technique, not attached to the regular Energy Circles and therefore not affecting how many of the regular Energy Circles you can make.

TAKE some time and PLAY WITH Energy Circle Sandwiches, see what they can DO FOR you.

PHASE-SHOW.

How Many Switchwords?
(April 12, 2013)

A question was posed: I was wondering are switchword combinations more effective than single Switchwords, like the words TOGETHER and DIVINE for example, do they need to combined with other Switchwords?

My thoughts...

I think it depends on the person and the situation, even on belief systems. DIVINE and TOGETHER can certainly be used alone separate, or even as a Switchpair.  I also find that if you are wanting to work on relationships, with self, adding the TOGETHER-DIVINE can be substantially enhancing, and between two or more people, DIVINE-TOGETHER.

If there is a single Switchword which by itself encompasses exactly what you want. In that case that Switchword by itself may be the best way to go.

Sometimes two Switchwords combine to create a new vibration that gives you more than you would get using them individually. One example of that is CRYSTAL-HORSE: CRYSTAL – clarify the situation, things; look to the future; improve clairvoyance; purify; neutralize; access Universal Knowledge

HORSE – be solid; be strong; gain power

CRYSTAL-HORSE - increase self-confidence and self-worth

Though as you can see neither CRYSTAL nor HORSE in definition mentions self-confidence or self-worth, yet the combination brings those qualities out. We have seen a lot of great successes in helping people to build self-confidence and self-worth with this combination. I am not sure that using one or the other of the individual words would have made that kind of difference.

Some people may believe that when you work with more than two or three Switchwords together they begin to lose potency, and if the belief is there, that will almost certainly be the experience.

I personally feel like just as a run-on sentence may lose its meaning in the complexity of the sentence, so might one begin to lose efficacy with Switchwords if you run too many together. Perhaps expressing the desires you have in as few Switchwords as you easily can is a good way to use them. However, again, how you see it and believe it can have a major impact on how they work best for you.

For me, I find 1, 2, 3 and 4 word Switchphrases are usually most powerful, but there are times when longer ones do apply, and are very effective.

I personally create Switchphrases by setting intention on what it is that is desired and using Reflex Muscle Testing to find the preferred Switchword combination(s) for it. I find most of the time with this technique the phrases are fairly short, but have seen them get as long as 7 to 10 Switchwords.

Patience (396 Hz)
A Poem by Girija Sridhar
(April 1, 2013)

Come April, we MOVE on to Patience.
It HELPs to cope, BRING about BALANCE.
Sometimes FOR problems, there is no END in sight.
Burden is heavy, wish it BE LIGHT.
But Patience when you EMBRACE, the path will turn.
Progress is ON the way, you will soon LEARN.
Life is a gift, Patience a virtue.
TAKE comfort, God walks WITH you.
Over time you CHANGE, you TRANSFORM.
CLOUDS CLEAR, you REACH the PERFECT platform.
When Patience you befriend, often WISDOM follows,
You maintain CALM, no matter the highs and lows.
Welcome Patience into your life, WATCH MIRACLEs unfold.
In all spheres you will discover GOLD, GOLD and only GOLD!

P-PIVOT
A-ADJUST
T-TOGETHER
I-INTEGRATE
E-EMBRACE
N-NOURISH

Many thanks Girija!

Welcome to April!
(April 1, 2013)

Here is what we are developing for the April Theme:

Theme:  Patience
Having focused on Harmony and Nurture the last couple of months, we can now move into Patience.  Patience helps allay discord and bring rewards. Extending patience in trying times helps bring one calmly through an experience, ride out the storm and arrive serenely on the other side, often bringing greater wisdom to the individual. When tyrannical ego suggests interceding or interjecting, often holding one's tongue with patience, allowing the fervor to subside, gives one the opportunity to grasp more details, see other perspectives and maintain peace and serenity in a space which could have jeopardized a relationship.

A farmer sows his seeds and in patience reaps great rewards.

Saturn, the great educator, also helps teach us patience.

Switchphrases:
INTEGRATE-THANKS-SHOW-SLOW-ADJUST.
(Embrace and bond with releasing guilt, and stop regretting, be devout, moral and give respect, be patient and wise, create balance.)

JUDGE-AROUND-Bypass-CLEAR-PRAISE-BE-SLOW.
(Increase comprehension, gain perspective, defuse need to participate in unwelcome situations, dispel anger and resentment, stop being critical, be unaffected by ridicule and negative or contrary energy, be patient and wise.)

Flower: White English Daisy
Flower Energy Blend:   Positive Expectancy
Chant/Mantra/Meditation/Prayer: Guru Gaitri Mantra
Gemstone/Crystal:  Diamond
Animal Wisdom:   Anteater

CHOOSE-BE-UP
(March 27, 2013)

Let go of the negative perspectives on it all, and ALLOW yourself to BE, regardless of what is happening.

Focusing on all the things that make you feel hopeless will keep you feeling hopeless. Perhaps instead look for things that make you feel good.

What is is. Accept it. CHOOSE it. FOR in accepting it, you ALLOW yourself to ALIGN WITH the current space, which is the only place from which you can build a different future.

CONSIDER the taxi scenario....

You want to go somewhere, perhaps to a party.
You call a taxi service.
You tell them your desired destination.
You ask them to please take you there.

They ask you where you are.
You say...I don't want to be here, I want to be there!
Please take me there!

They repeat...where are you? You continue to insist that you don't want to be here...you want to be there and refuse to acknowledge where you are so you can be taken to where you want to go.

Kind of RIDICULOUS, isn't it?

CHOOSE-NOW. From there you can progress (GO) and MOVE ON.

Conversation with Kat: Soulmate
(March 27, 2013)

I thought I'd start a series here taken from conversations I have had with friends, some of whom have returned to me asking me to share them with others.

Friend:
What if one meets a soulmate and for whatsoever reason does not CHOOSE to recognize and realizes later?

What if one is seeking to marry a soulmate? What if one feels that there is only one soulmate and has missed to be with him/her?

Kat's Reply:
CONSIDER you have more than a single soul mate here on this Earth.
CONSIDER looking at what attracts you to him and placing an order for those characteristics in a love to be discovered.

For Example:
I like his care free attitude
I like the bond we share
I like his height
His personality
He is respectful and cares about me
He enjoys life
Is fun loving
Takes his own decisions
Bold
Health conscious
Lives by his own rules
Is non-judgmental
His smile
The way he speaks
His voice
He is courageous
He encourages me to pursue my dreams
He gives me space to be myself
Ì am able to express myself to him
He is patient
He is a good listener
He is a good friend
And yes he is smart, intelligent and good looking, etc.

Write down whatever you like about that person. Focus on that. It is okay to have missed what you have missed...you can't CHANGE what you have DONE in the past, so CHOOSE it.

CHOOSE to LEARN from what has been, and MOVE forward without regret. Accept what is and then decide where you wish to GO NOW.

FORGIVE yourself for not knowing any better before...because, well you didn't know any better before. NOW that you are in a space of BEGINning to understand more thoroughly how to work WITH your goals and aspirations, just BE.

CHOOSE-LEARN-MOVE-FORGIVE-NOW-WITH-BE.
(Release old pains, rejuvenate, clear inertia, eliminate remorse, act on good impulse, harmonize well with being in peace and wellness, unaffected by ridicule and negative or contrary energy.)

To Gain Something...
(March 24, 2013)

Some of my thoughts on this proverb which has been told for ages...
"To gain something, we have to lose something."

I CHOOSE a very different and some may say amazing perspective on the above.

To lose something, you want to gain something too. CONSIDER when you "lose" a negative thought, something must replace the space that is opened. In this space you may have expansion of another negative or you can fill the space with something positive.

CONSIDER you OPEN space, and fill it. Whether you just let whatever fill it or you CHOOSE what you fill it with.

You could CHOOSE to see the above statement in a different way.

For example: When you smile, you lose hatred.
When you DANCE you gain JOY and you lose the stress in your body.

When you give something, you "lose" it to someone else. But why see it as a loss?

Why not see it as a CLEARing to be filled with what you want?

So what if....

You CHOOSE to CREATE a CLEARing and BRING in what you want.

ENGAGE - occupy possibilities.

CLEAR-CONSIDER-OPEN-CHOOSE-DANCE-JOY-CREATE-BRING-ENGAGE.
(Dispel anger and resentment, fix with comprehension, dispelling inhibitions, releasing old pains, feeling joy, increasing bliss, transform thought into action, deliver the goods and occupy possibilities.)

Calling Flower Energies
(March 24, 2013)

My thoughts regarding calling the Flowers with Emotional Freedom file Passive Modifications versus with the Flower Energies vial....

CONSIDER Chocolate milk. Say you LOVE Chocolate milk.

You go to a gourmet and have him prepare gourmet Chocolate milk for you. It is smooth and delicious, heavenly.

Now, you FIND the gourmet Chocolate milk in a store and buy it. It is delicious, but the ambiance is not the same as actually having the gourmet prepare it specifically for you while you are in his presence.

Next you buy a powdered mix for Chocolate milk and make your`own Chocolate milk by adding it to milk. It is good, but it is just not the same as either of the two experiences above.

CONSIDER that the gourmet Chocolate milk made and enjoyed in the presence of the gourmet himself as similar to experiencing the Flowers live surrounding you, embracing you. A wonderful experience.

CONSIDER the gourmet Chocolate milk bought from a store to be similar to the Flower Energies from the Flower Energies vial. You have the live energies of the Flowers, but you do not have the visual of the Flowers, the ambiance they bring by having the physical Flowers with you.

CONSIDER the Chocolate milk you mix from powder as similar to calling the Flowers from the Passive Modifications file linked to the Emotional Freedom vial. You are not in direct contact with the Flower Energies. It is still a good experience, but not quite the same.

Also note that the Flower Energies vial also has instructions for Flower Energy Blends, Formulas and additional elements such as Switchwords and other supports that are not there when Flowers are called from the Emotional Freedom Passive Modifications file.

Instant Ice Cream
(March 23, 2013)

A few weeks ago fresh strawberries were on sale for about half the usual price. I bought many, and froze a bunch. I flash froze them individually then bagged them.

One of the stores here often sells ripe bananas for half -price.  These bananas are at the peak of ripeness.  I peeled and froze the ripe bananas I bought.  I froze them whole except for skin.

This morning I put about 4 strawberries and one banana in the blender, then poured cream over them, added a little orange juice and blended.

The results were MAGIC-DAZZLE-GOLD.  Instant Strawberry Banana Ice Cream.

Next time I may drop the orange juice and just add a little more cream.

A-Z of Switchwords
(March 22, 2013)

I wanted to share here poem written by Girija Sridhar about our Switchwords group on Facebook.

A-Z of Switchwords

It is AMAZING to BE in the Switchwords group,
And CREATE this enchanting DIVINE loop.
How with EASE solutions we FIND,
GRACE exists in the HEART and mind.
Call upon Ice Blue, JOY you perceive,
Will KEEP you happy, LOVE you receive.
A MIRACLE appears NOW, when need is strong,
Oompa Loompa! and PEACE comes along!
When your QUEST is fulfilled to REACH, to gather,
Then you SING and dance and feel so TOGETHER.
UMBRELLA protects and you become VIBRANT,
WOLF helps to XERO any ailment.
YES! all members have enormous ZEAL,
Small wonder, the group has so much appeal.

What If I Pray Over My Food But Don't Believe in God?
(March 16, 2013)

CONSIDER the Law of Attraction works according to your focus, so if you are praying for food to nourish you and saying words of thanks over it, then you are affecting the energy of the food...whether you are saying to God, Universe, or whatever provided the food.

Take some tap water.
Unfiltered.
Taste it.
Write LOVE on the glass with your finger.
Taste it.

Did you pray?
No.
You just put positive vibrations of LOVE into the water.

See what it did?

LOVE.

Happy Switchwords
(March 16, 2013)

I was asked about a Switchword for happiness. There are so many ways to come to a space of happiness...and it is something that comes from focus, from within...something we CHOOSE by our focus. These are the Switchwords and Defusing Words that come to my mind:

I do not see a Switchword with "happy/happiness" as part of its definition, but there are some for similar things:

TOGETHER - the Master Switchword - may be what you want.

BE - to be in peace and wellness, unaffected by ridicule and negative energy - seems very appropriate here too.

NOW - to act on good impulse (and to me to be in the current moment) - may also be useful.

Additional Switchwords that seem to apply:

DANCE – feel joy
GIGGLE - enjoy the task at hand
HEART – center in joy
HOLIDAY – enjoy yourself
JOLLY – create enjoyment
JOY – give and receive joy
SURPRISE – feel elated; take joy in discovery

And a few Defusing Words:

Curry
Curry is about defusing pain and inflammation. Curry is about reconnecting with joyful memories to help defuse and remove painful, invading thoughts and feelings. Curry is about letting go of inflammatory thoughts about ourselves and others. Curry is about allowing joyful movement through the life experience.

Dancing Cane
Dancing Cane is about catching the negative bits and pieces, sweeping them away and filling the spaces left behind with joy. Dancing Cane is about feeling uplifted and joyful. Dancing Cane is about releasing, letting go, and removing destructive thoughts. Use Dancing Cane to enjoy the current moment, the NOW.

Sunflower
Sunflower is about dissolving and defusing blocks created by past memories, beliefs and rules limiting our access to joy. Sunflower gently soothes irritations and disharmonies to lift spirits and allow us to harmonize with joy and happiness. Sunflower brings us to the now, releasing focus on past and future, allowing us to experience the now in joy and happiness.

Teapot Whistle
Teapot Whistle is about defusing and releasing stresses of the day. Teapot Whistle helps create a time of relaxation, soothing and bonding. Teapot Whistle signals time for calmness and peace. Teapot Whistle inspires joy and sharing wonderments of the day with family and friends in a comfortable, warm environment.

I trust this information will be helpful for you.

I Need to RELEASE and Let Go
(March 15, 2013)

Excerpts from a conversation with a friend...

Friend: I seem to have held onto something. I need to RELEASE and let go.

Kat: Talk.

Friend: I don’t like them. They are being nice to me and I don’t like them. I have an attitude it seems. I have been trying to shake it all morning, but it’s sticking for some reason… Perhaps not getting an apology, but I shouldn’t make myself need an apology.

Kat: You resent that they see you as the enemy often.

Friend: It’s all in my control for sure. Yes, I do resent that. It bothers me that they think I’m the problem.

Kat: But you see.... you never can control another.... and here you are wanting to control how they see you. You feel like you give and give and give and give, and bend and bend and bend and bend, and still they see you as the enemy. It is not your fault. It is because of the filters they are wearing and has nothing to do with you, and you are being very judgmental of them.

Friend: I see.

Kat: Because of your own filters.

Friend: Yes.

Kat: Yeah...you expect them to do what you would do, and.... they expect you to do what they expect you to do, often without even saying what they expect of you. And they resent you for not knowing what they want before they know it, and yes often they have no idea what they want.

You see, in LOVE there are no expectations. You can have wants, and desires. You can have LOVE without expectations. Expectations…they'll get you every time…fill you with resentment, because you expected something of someone, and more often than not they don't even realize you expected something.

Like…how many times have you been yelled at for doing something you didn't know you did to offend them?

They have expectations, unstated and unfulfilled, and they JUDGE it as you are the problem, just as you have expectations of them, which go unfulfilled, and you JUDGE them, and you blame them for not fulfilling on your expectations.

LOVE is accepting a person...exactly as they are, with no need to change them, and exactly as they are not, again with no need to change them. They are not apologetic...they don’t understand how they are wrong when you JUDGE them as wrong. They don’t see it. Their filters don’t allow it. They have deep fear of being wrong, of being found out to be wrong, so their filters are very sharp and tight. They see you through many filters. They have conclusions they have made about you, they see you with the conclusions already made. They are trying to be nice, and you are refusing to accept that into your filter, because you hold judgments against them. They don’t need to apologize for you to forgive them. What if they can't apologize? What if they closed themselves down so much they can't apologize?

You can accept an ungiven apology, because it is you who is hurt by holding the grudge. Not them.

REVERSE to bury grudges.

CONTAIN---CANCEL-CLEAR-CONCEDE-CONFESS-REVERSE.

20 minutes later…

Friend: Wow. Just had a RELEASE. Wow.

Kat: Good.

Friend: Wow. I hope that becomes a Kat Thought. It’s amazing.

And so it is.

Sunlight (aligns you current geographical location)

My Mornings
(March 5, 2013)

Often I awaken 30-40 minutes before I need to.

I usually put the tea kettle on, surf for a few minutes on the net, assess what has happened over night.

I often have crocheted items I made the night before waiting for me to charge with positive vibrations, or perhaps awaiting stiffening, so sometimes I spend some of that time in that manner.

If I am feeling like I don't want to get out of bed, I will start off with BUBBLE-UP-MOVE-NOW, which seems to energize me and get me out of bed.

About an hour before time to leave home I take a relaxing shower, and get ready to go. I spend any extra time before I have to leave home catching up on email and groups, then FLOW-ON-OVER to catch Cammarie and whisk her off to school.

We talk on the way to school, setting our intents for the day. She uses a little technique I was taught several years back, called "Goal Setting." She makes two fists, then bangs them TOGETHER with the little finger sides hitting each other while she says her intentions for the day and calls Switchwords to help enhance them.

We then walk casually to her classroom, sometimes giving out hearts along the way. We watch for people wearing hearts on their clothes, or on their backpacks. We watch for people feeling out of sorts or sad, and she steps up to them with a smile and a hand full of HEARTs (crocheted - see at https://heart.blueiris.org asking if they want one.

I leave her at her classroom with hearts in her backpack, in case anything comes up during the day requiring hearts, and stroll off to begin the rest of my day.

It's all about focus.

You have to get up and go to work? Call it PLAY and FIND ways to look forward to it. Then BEGIN.

Releasing Resentment(of Self and Others)
(February 19, 2013)

When we "should" all over ourselves we get into a space of self-resentment, self-loathing.  Should is very judgmental, and using it in reference to oneself or someone else, and will create a feeling of guilt or remorse, either in oneself or that another "should" feel guilt or remorse. CONSIDER replacing "should" with "could" to ALLOW that there was/is a choice that was/is to be made.

We strive to be (or at least show face of) the "Hu" part of Human, and when the "man" part of being Human shows up, we find ourselves regretting and resenting the things we have done that we judge we "should" not have.

So, accept that you are both "Hu" and "man" and CHOOSE to accept all of you, the DIVINE "Hu" and the more common, animal part "man."

You're here. You're stuck in it. You have the bumps, warts, scrapes and scars. You will find yourself judging yourself and others. You will find yourself standing at odds with your own goals and desires. You will find yourself in a space of defiance, denial and regret. That's all Human, normal Human. Accept it, then let it go and get back to where you really want to be (PIVOT-HIGHEST POTENTIAL).

Taking responsibility for where you are in your life helps you BEGIN to ALIGN WITH where you wish to BE. However, you may wish to CHOOSE to let go of (POSTPONE) blaming yourself for anything you might have done to get yourself into an unwanted space...you have always done the best that you could do from the place where you have been. Perhaps you didn't know you were creating what came your way. Or perhaps you knew you were creating something you didn't want, but you were in a space where you didn't care and you did it anyway. It's okay. You're allowed to be Human! GIVE yourself a little slack. FORGIVE.

Helping "Stuck" Friends Get Out of Their Stories
(February 19, 2013)

We create our lives by the stories we create around events that happen in our lives. As we become aware that we are the authors of our own stories, we also begin to see others around us spinning stories in their lives and we see them "stuck" in the stories.

I was asked how one might be able to help another become aware of, and perhaps CHANGE the stories in their lives.

My thoughts...

Perhaps GIVE your spin on the story they write...

For example...

They say...did you see how that lady just cut me off????.

Instead of agreeing with their story (she cut me off) or disagreeing with their story (no, she didn't see you is all)...offer up other possible perspectives..

You say...perhaps she was in a hurry....didn't see you...was distracted....had something on her mind and wasn't paying attention...whatever....to open other possibilities besides what their story was (she cut me off!!!).

Perhaps, if you do this enough they will begin to see more than a single possibility in their stories, and may BEGIN to rewrite them.

We are Human. It is absolutely natural to write stories...we started out very young asking "why" and "what" and writing about why what is is and what it means to us, about us, about the world, the universe.... but it is in recognizing that it is story rather than fact can BEGIN to OPEN US to other possibilities and perhaps NEW ways of looking at it..

When you're stuck in a story and recognize that you are...END-SHUT.

Look at the story. What happened...the facts, only the facts:
She moved into your lane.
You had to slow down.

That's it. That's all that happened.

She cut you off is story. You can see that when you break it down and look at what happened. .

So, now that you know what happened (She moved into your lane. You had to slow down.), you can CHOOSE what story you want to apply to it, and through that you can CHOOSE what emotional state you will attach to it and where you will go from here.

You only remain stuck in your story so long as you say you are stuck in your story.

My Poem for Mom
(February 17, 2013)

Mom's birthday was Friday. My family is getting TOGETHER to celebrate her birthday with her this evening.

As I cannot join my siblings, nieces and nephews in celebrating her birthday, I wrote a short poem for her.

I wish to share it with you here:

Mom
Always there for me.
Always allowing me to BE.
Always PERFECT to a T.

Mom
Always bringing me comfort.
Always helping thoughts to sort.
Always giving needed support.

Mom
Always smiling and giving a hug.
Always making me feel so snug.
Always willing to provide a needed tug.

Mom
Always giving me her love.
Always peaceful presence like a Dove.
Always as a Divine presence from above.

Mom
My Mom.
Mom.

My Valentine's Day Switchphrase

A Valentine's Switchphrase
(February 13, 2013)

I was asked to create a Valentine's Switchphrase today, and here is what came up for me...

DIVINE-TOGETHER for interpersonal relationships

WITH for harmonizing

TOUCH to create a supportive impact

LOVE to generate, radiate and experience love and acceptance

RAINBOW to create a colorful conscious life

DIVINE-TOGETHER-TOUCH-LOVE-RAINBOW.
(Improve interpersonal relationships, harmonize well with creating a supportive impact, generate, radiate and experience love and acceptance, create a colorful conscious life.)

What If What These Evil People Have Done to Me is Unforgivable?
(February 1, 2013)

First, CONSIDER putting what has happened into the past by speaking of it in past tense...I tried to heal every single day. It was a battle...

Also CONSIDER disowning the fear..."my fear" means you are taking possession of it, claiming it.

Instead, CONSIDER referring to it as "the fear." In this manner you BEGIN to distance yourself from it.

CONSIDER that you may CHOOSE to FORGIVE those who have had a negative impact on your life. Though you may feel that they do not deserve forgiveness, the forgiveness is not for them, it is for you. In forgiving them, you BEGIN to CUT the ties that bind you to them. For in holding onto the unforgiveness you bring your focus around to pain OVER and OVER again. Forgiving is not condoning a behavior, nor is it saying you agree with what they did. Forgiving simply says, you are DONE wasting your time and energy in a space where you need not BE. It is about releasing you from the negative energy created by the actions taken and the unforgiveness kept in your HEART.

CONSIDER-CHOOSE-FORGIVE-BEGIN-CUT-OVER-DONE-BE-HEART.
(Fix this problem by letting go of old pains, eliminate remorse, end desire for revenge, bring into existence severed ties (to this negativity), end frustration, complete it, be in peace and wellness, unaffected by ridicule and negative or contrary energy, and center in joy.)

What is My Life Purpose?
(January 30, 2013)

Have you been asking yourself...

What is my life purpose?

What if your life purpose is just to BE?
to experience the JOY of BEing...
because everything is here for you?

What if in BEing in JOY you show others how to BE in JOY?
What if you wanted to just BE for others to see?

What if your life is just a blank canvas that is OPEN FOR you to CHOOSE your life purpose, rather than a maze that you must traverse to FIND your life purpose?

What if the reason you have not found your life purpose is because there is nothing set to BE your life purpose?

What if life and life purpose are simply what you CHOOSE them to BE?

CHOOSE-BE-OPEN-JOY-POINT.
(Be empowered, be in peace and wellness, unaffected by ridicule and negative or contrary energy, breathe easier, be artful, dispel inhibitions, give and receive joy to find direction.)

500 Hearts
(January 23, 2013)

Here they are!  500 crocheted hearts, now packaged and mailed to Newtown, Connecticut.  I started making these hearts on December 18. I mailed them this week. I crocheted all the hearts myself, with love. It was a huge project, and I enjoyed every minute.

Sleeping Too Much
(January 20, 2013)

A Request Made: Please help me. I sleep a lot. I miss a lot of things because I'll be sleeping. I need to reduce my sleep.

A few of thoughts about things that may cause one to be tired:

Lack of sunshine (I don't mean sunlight through the window, I mean being out in the sun, absorbing rays from the sun). The sun helps reset the serotonin/melatonin cycle, which helps with sleep (and depression).

Sugars/grains - the simple sugars. These tend to have an effect of giving a burst of energy and then crashing one. Eating a lot of grains (yes even whole grains), carbohydrates, processed foods, can tend to cause a lot of fatigue.

Protein is important for stamina. Protein also helps digest carbohydrates, so a diet high in carbs and low in protein will tend to cause a lot of fatigue.

Water. Water is energizing. Many people are dehydrated, even though they drink a lot of fluids throughout the day, but sodas, coffee and tea actually tend to deplete more water than they give, so can be dehydrating. Water with any additives (including lemon slices)has to go through the digestive tract to be extracted. Pure water is much more hydrating, as the body can begin to utilize it immediately.

I also love to drink what I call Happy Water - water from a container that has Switchwords (specifically I LOVE LOVE) written on it. Try taking ordinary tap water (non-filtered) and tasting it, then write LOVE (just with your finger is fine) on the glass and taste it again. AMAZING.

Note: If drinking water fatigues you, CONSIDER that you may be low on sodium.

------------

Focus is everything. Your entire note was focused on sleep..."I sleep a lot, I miss a lot of things cause I'll be sleeping, I need to reduce my sleep. Less sleep & codes for less sleep."

CONSIDER shifting your focus from wanting less sleep to having more energy and wakeful time.

------------

All that being said, a few Switchwords that may be useful for increased energy and wakefulness:

MOVE – increase energy; eliminate tiredness; increase pep; clear inertia (Ever notice that when I child gets tired and doesn't want to sleep they start moving a lot?)

BUBBLE – expand beyond perceived limitations; get energized; get excited

UP – be in high spirits; dispel the blues; dispel inferiority complex

ALERT – increase awareness; perk up; pay attention to your surroundings

FIFTY THREE (53) – pay primary concern; take responsibility (often we feel tired when we look at work to be done and we don't want to do it, so 53 is about taking responsibility and doing it anyway, which the activity in and of itself may dispel the fatigue)

And along the same lines as 53, often feeling overwhelmed, not knowing where you want to start, too much to do and not enough time for it, will cause one to feel fatigued and want to sleep instead. The Defusing Word Manhattan would be appropriate in this situation:

Manhattan is for defusing confusion, frustration and overwhelm in a chaotic and/or busy environment. Manhattan allows you to maintain focus and peaceful awareness wherever you are and whatever you are doing. Manhattan helps maintain equilibrium and balance.

MOVE-BUBBLE-UP-ALERT-53-Manhattan.

------------

Numbers/Frequencies that may be helpful:

37,586,748,578 (Energy and endurance)
99,477,867,785 (Energy and health stabilizer)
20 Hz (Mental fatigue, energize)
5 Hz (Sleep, reduce amount needed)

The Stories We Tell (Ourselves)
(January 14, 2013)

Taken from a post at the Facebook Switchwords group...someone had noted that each time they contemplated working at a specific place, something negative would happen... This time someone died the morning after job offer was made.

I suspect that if I tried, I could find negative trends in my life, and could probably associate a negative event with every positive event in my life. Instead, I CHOOSE to always look at the positive spins. For if I focus on something I feel is negative and associate it with something else seemingly unrelated in my life, I begin to draw more seemingly negative things to associate with it.

What I am trying to say is...you CHOOSE what something means to you, and how to associate it with other things in your life. When you see your dear one's passing as a negative, and associate it with the push for the job, ego grabs that and looks for additional negatives to associate with that. So, to my thoughts, even if you wait months, when the offer comes back around so will the negative events, because ego tends to strive to always be right, and therefore pushes its perspective (meaning you will be more aware of negative things happening than usual as the offer comes around).

What if your dear one's passing was (for them) a positive thing? What if they were finished with things in this realm and felt a strong call to proceed elsewhere? What if there are gifts they had for family and friends that were waiting to be experienced until their passing? We cannot know the why of when a loved one passes. We only know our own perspective, and that is one of grief and loss of an energy we so love. The depth of the pain mirrors the joy of the life that was. The more it hurts, the greater the gift they gave us through their life.

We are in a world of contrasts. We cannot recognize the positive things we have without tasting the negative. The negative reinforces our appreciation for the positive.

What happened?
Your friend made a job offer.
You had a dear one die.

The rest is story. Any connection. Any connotation be it positive or negative.

Unless you can CUT the ties that your story has created (anytime the job offer comes up something negative happens), you will never be in a space where you will be comfortable accepting that job.

All that being said, perhaps you will FIND comfort and an equitable solution with:

CRYSTAL-POINT-CHOOSE-CUT-SAGE-TENDER-RENDEZVOUS.

Thoughts on Using Switchwords
(January 12, 2013)

If you wish to use same Switchwords in two Energy Circles for the same person, that is fine. I am not sure it will make a big difference.

The Radionic Amplifier Energy Circle can be placed underneath another Energy Circle (paper under a paper) to enhance the other Energy Circle. No need for anything to be inside the Radionic Amplifier Energy Circle when you do this.

If you put the Energy Circle in a My Own File (a file linked to the Emotional Freedom vial), then adding Switch tells the vial you are calling the Switch file.

The difference between running the EF vial with versus without Switch:

No Switch - the phrase is run through energetic EFT 1000 times.

With Switch - the phrase is copied 999 times, then run through Energetic EFT 1000 times.

--------------

CONSIDER saying a Switchword to be like taking a shower - you are showered with the energy of the Switchword.

CONSIDER tapping the Switchword through EFT is like immersing yourself in a bathtub of water - you are surrounded by the energy of the Switchword.

CONSIDER putting a Switchword in an Energy Circle - a continuous stream of the energy of the Switchword is coming to you.

CONSIDER broadcasting a Switchword from an Energy Circle through the EF vial widens and deepens the stream, allowing it to begin to engulf you in the Switchword energy.

CONSIDER broadcasting a Switchword from an Energy Circle through the EF vial with the Switch file brings a lake of the Switchword to you - you are surrounded and engulfed in the energy of the Switchword.

CONSIDER running the Switch file linked to the Emotional Freedom vial in person, with the vial in your hand is like having an energetic ocean of the energy of the Switchword surround, engulf and permeate your energy field.

That is the difference I see in the different ways we apply Switchwords.

500th HEART
(January 9, 2013)

On December 18th, four days after the tragedy at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, I decided to crochet HEARTs for the student body, staff and others affected by what happened there.

Today I created the 500th HEART, and will continue to make HEARTs through this weekend, intending to mail them on Monday, January 14th, exactly a month after the tragedy.  I will continue to make HEARTs through the 13th, and send however many I have completed.

This is just a small project I took on to let the people of Newtown know that they are in our HEARTs.

Many Thanks to Rhoda
(January 7, 2013)

I was just thinking about all the things Rhoda does for me, well for us, and decided to let you know about some of the support I get from Rhoda.

Emotional Freedom vial
Rhoda grew up with the Emotional Freedom vial. She knows it pretty much as completely as I do (perhaps in some ways better).

When Rhoda first received the Emotional Freedom vial, there were no files linked to it. It simply supercharged EFT.

Rhoda has been responsible for spawning many of the files linking to the Emotional Freedom vial.

The Emotional Freedom vial is better because of Rhoda.

-----

Flower Energies vial

Rhoda has suggested many of the Flower Energy Blends in the Flower Energies vial.

The Flower Energies vial is better because of Rhoda.

-----

Healing Energy Vibrations vial
When Healing Energies Vibrations did not yet exist, Rhoda brought to me the 101 Facets of Ahuramazda, wondering about adding them to the Emotional Freedom vial. I was just about to start on a new vial that I thought would be a Ho'oponopono vial, but turned out to be much more, as when Rhoda brought the 101 to me, I was told there were to be 5 (or 6) techniques from around the world (and beyond) in the new vial, and that it was to be Healing Energy Vibrations.

When it was first introduced HEV had 5 techniques, and as I released it I knew there was a sixth coming and began working on it with David Wilson. TOGETHER we worked for almost a year on TEST1 Energy Vial, the sixth technique in HEV, and an amazing technique.

-----

Blue Iris Learning Center
As I write new articles on Blue Iris Learning Center, Rhoda often helps (a lot!) with STRUCTURE and presentation.

Blue Iris Learning Center is better because of Rhoda.

-----

Vibrational Balancing
Rhoda suggested adding Switchphrases to the Vibrational Balancing Images as we were developing them. Without her we would most likely be short this powerful addition to Vibrational Balancing.

Vibrational Balancing is better because of Rhoda.

-----

Numbers and Frequencies
Though I introduced Rhoda to numbers and frequencies, I do not know that I would ever have incorporated them into my work without her persistence in learning them and bringing them to me again and again.

-----

Energy Vials and Other Healing Tools group on Facebook
Last year, Rhoda suggested opening a Energy Vials and Other Healing Tools group on Facebook so we could talk about more than just Switchwords in a group there. Rhoda is why that group exists.

-----

Rhoda suggested that I ALLOW her to make the vials available through her to our friends in India. As international shipping costs are high, because of Rhoda's MAGNANIMITY, vials are more easily available to our friends in India.

India has greater access to my work because of Rhoda.

Rhoda quietly goes about doing what she does, often deeply behind the scenes, without many people knowing just how much she does, and how deeply indebted I am to her for all her generosity toward me, the Blue Iris Learning Center, and you.

Rhoda, thank you for all that you do. If I am the Soul of Blue Iris Learning Center, Switchwords and the Energy Vials, you are the HEART.

BRING-TOGETHER-Blue Iris-Fountain-WITH-HEART.
(Unite with mastering defusing and clearing communication channels with Source and Spiritual communication, be uplifted, engulfed, quenched, nurtured and nourished, refreshed, energized and entranced, relieved of stress and calmed of spirit, have faith in the future, trust in the life cycle and a know that all can be, is and ever will be well; remember that hope springs eternal, and harmonize well with centering yourself in joy.)

Thoughts About Suffering
(January 4, 2013)

What if you suffer because you say you suffer?

Each time you say you are doing something you are perpetuating whatever you say into the future, making it continue.

Try letting go that anything is wrong. Nothing is wrong.

What if the illnesses and pains you have been experiencing are simply a reflection of the feelings you CHOOSE when you look at life through the filters you CHOOSE?

Everything that happens, that is, is interpreted by your filter...the story you apply to it. CHANGE the story to CHANGE your life.

CONSIDER thoughts on this scenario. You go home to visit your mom. Every time you go home to visit your mom she asks if you are hungry and she offers to make you your favorite foods.

What is the story there? Is it that Mom thinks you are not eating, or not eating well when you are away? Is it that Mom loves to cook for you? Is it that she only cares about you if you eat her food? Or is it that she is saying, "I love you" by making offers to you of things she knows you like?

The story of your life is yours to write.

Quit putting focus on spinning what happens to it meaning something you don't like and start putting focus on spinning what happens to something you do like.

Personally, I think that I like the story, Mom is saying "I love you" with her offer for food every time I visit her. So, I would put the spin on it that each offer Mom makes is her saying, "I love you."

Every experience you have in your life, be it good or bad, is determined by you as to whether it is good or bad.

When are you going to start telling stories you like?

DIVINE-TOGETHER-CIRCULATE-ADJUST-TRICKLE-JOY-WITH-LOVE.
(Master interpersonal relationships, mingle, create balance and handle uncomfortable or unpleasant conditions, share, give and receive joy, harmonize well with generating, radiating and experiencing love and acceptance.)

Kat

Perspectives
(January 4, 2013)

I want you to see how completely things can change if you ALLOW yourself to let go of all the negative perspectives.

If you don't like what you have been experiencing, and are experiencing now, CONSIDER writing a different future in the NOW. Instead of thinking of your mother-in-law (sister, aunt, boss, co-worker, etc.) as bitchy, start looking for things about her to like.

CONSIDER looking for a new way to see things she does. If she does something that you feel is an attack on you, CONSIDER looking from her perspective and seeing if there might be another perspective. It doesn't really matter how it was meant, what her thoughts were, why she did it...it only matters how you write the story about it. Because when we experience things in life, we don't react/respond to what happens, but rather to our interpretation of what happens.

One example: You are carrying a lot of things, and your mother-in-law leads to the house, opens the door and walks in, the door closing behind her,right in your face. You then have to set things down, open the door and take half the load in at a time.

Now, this experience could be spun a number of ways:

"She doesn't give a hoot about me. First she makes me carry everything, not offering one hand of help, then she goes ahead of me and slams the door in my face. BITCH!"

Or...

You might have asked for a hand in carrying things. She may or may not have helped with the request having been made. But if the request was not made, how is she to know that you feel like there is too much for you to carry...she doesn't.

You might have asked on the way to the house if she would hold the door for you, but you didn't. She might have done it, or she may have said, "I can't, I've got to use the restroom (or something) and I can't wait."

You might have not asked for any help on either thing, and when she didn't hold the door for you, you might have decided that she had something important to do, and didn't realize you were left to figure it out on your own.

You did not stand up and ask for help, yet you expected someone to know what you wanted. How'd that work for you?

What if we write stories, react to them, then decide that the story we wrote is the way the world is, and as such we continue to experience it exactly that way?

If you never stand up and ask for what you want, you will get walked on. Nobody is focused on you but you. They are always focused on self, just as you are always focused on yourself, and what the world means to you. You write all the stories, and yes, it is all story. Life is 10% what happens and 90% the way you write the story. So, CHANGE how you write the story and you will begin to see a CHANGE, in your world.

COZY-CHARM-CHLORINE-BEAM.

Kat

P.S. Dove is a defusing word for helping one stand up for oneself... Dove is about defusing self-loathing, letting go of mourning that which is in the past, allowing bygones to be bygones and releasing resentment, opening one for peace and serenity. The Dove has no gallbladder and as such is often seen to be at peace with the world, as it has no gall (bitterness of spirit). A Dove will always speak up for itself, making its voice heard. Use Dove to help you stand up and speak for yourself, rather than allowing others to speak for you.

January Love
(January 3, 2013)

I DO DECLARE...

January is the Month of Love.

January is a time of new beginnings, a fresh start. We ended the year with November Forgiveness, which helped open us to December Appreciation. Now, having released the old pains with Forgiveness, and opened to Appreciation, we are in a place where we can begin to generate, radiate and experience love.

Switchphrases:
ARISE-ALIGN-OPEN-WITH-DIVINE-LOVE.
(Bring into being support, dispelling inhibitions, and harmonizing well with and work miracles with generating, radiating and experiencing love and acceptance.)

Fountain-Hu-NEW-HAVEN-BRING.
(Hope springs eternal, feel the world with love, and fill the world with love, form innovation, open opportunities and deliver the goods.)

Flower: Carnation
Flower Energy Blend:  Love
Gemstone:  Garnet

A complete listing of currently defined Defusing Words is available at: https://dw.blueiris.org

**********

As we have accumulated a number of different types of Energy Circles over the last few years, many with specific applications and qualities, I created a new article with Specialized Energy Circles (subscription only), expanding on Energy Circle components, additions and applications.

**********

We added the Healing Numbers and Frequencies Database to the Switchwords Database subscription in 2012. (Database access is also available free with a six-month subscription to Blue Iris Learning Center)

The Switchwords Database grew to almost 4000 entries throughout the year. It has all the currently defined Switchwords and Defusing Words, along with (nearly) Daily Switchphrases I have coined throughout the last couple of years, Switchphrases given on subscription (without names), Switchphrases for specific applications, Switchphrases with success stories, etc.

The Healing Numbers and Frequencies Database has well over 10,000 entries, including Healing Numbers, Rife Frequencies, Essential Oil Frequencies, Planet Frequencies, and much more.

**********

Animal Wisdom has been very active during 2012. We have updated a number of the Animals and even had Unicorn join Ewok as another mystical Animal sharing Wisdom in 2012.

A member of the Facebook Switchwords group, Girija Sridhar, began to grace us with Animal Wisdom poems in 2012. Animals that have poetry (or other information) attached to their Wisdom are shown in Green on the quick list of Animal Wisdom.

**********

Energy Vials and Other Healing Tools, a Facebook discussion group was added during 2012. With the wider scope this group entails, we are able to discuss Switchwords, Energy Vials, and much, much more.

The group has many discussions regarding working with Energy Vials, including Emotional Freedom, Healing Energy Vibrations,Flower Energies, Rescue!/span>, and Whatever.

The group is open to discussing many other types of energy healing.

**********

As many of you know, I am an avid crocheter, and occasionally create patterns of my own. If you have received a package from me in the last couple of years, chances are you have a small crocheted HEART or something else from me.

In 2012, I began to share some crochet patterns I have created under Kat's Krochet Korner (off the top menu under Additional Topics) here at Blue Iris.  The first pattern I added was for a TINY SWEET HEART, then later added some Snowflakes, a TINY 3-D Butterfly and Dragonfly.  During November and December, I included Energized Dragonfly or Butterfly Earrings for free with all vial purchases, as part of the Themes for those months.

**********

On June 4, 2012, for the first time in my life (at least that I recall), Mom and I composed a poem TOGETHER. The poem was written specifically for my brother's wedding, which I was in Salt Lake to attend, as well as for giving away with the crocheted HEARTs. The poem is titled Touch a Heart and is now printed on the back of my business cards.

**********

I declared on November 1, 2012 that I was going to set themes for each month, and declared at that time that November is the Month of Forgiveness. We started then to create Switchphrase(s) for the month's theme, as well as Flower Energy Blends, and whatever else comes up.

I have also had a friend bless me with a calendar with a Flower for each month, so shall be addressing that throughout 2013.

November is the Month of Forgiveness.
December is the Month of Appreciation.
January is the Month of LOVE.
