God does not require any exchange for blessings. I have been feeling unworthy for yers. I was trained to beg for blessings. Little did I know that God has been waiting to gladly give, the way the Father of the Prodigal Son rushed to meet his returning son.

From “Mindfulness Yoga” : Our life is shaped by our mind; all actions are led by mind, created by mind.”

“Happiness follows a skillful thought as surely as one’s shadow.”

Gill Edwards wrote: “We always get what we want (Is she writing about the 4th dimension?), so if you are not creating it, you must be blocking it.”

This is why the Law of Attraction has caused me to blame myself each time I got challenges. Yet Joe Vitale’s Ho’oponopono never allows blaming.
I keep swinging to my old limiting beliefs!
Edwards offered tips:
“You need to clarify what stands in the way:
negative beliefs or attitudes
fears and doubts
anger and resentment
guilt
feeling undeserving
or
payoffs such as self-pity, punishing others, feeling better than others or avoiding responsibility.

GOODNESS! The list seems to say only the Dalai Lama can get his desires.
Edwards continued: “What are the excuses you give yourself?”
At this point I choose not to be further frustrated. I choose to listen to M Tamura: “Instead of insisting that we get what we want, how we want it and when and where, by being compassionate we allow our whole process of receiving to develop in its own way and time.”

But as always I choose Boorstein. She wrote:
“There are all sorts of things I don’t like. And in response to what I find unpleasant, I often feel dismayed or impatient or annoyed or disappointed or grieved.”
“What I try to do is keep my mind from fighting with my experience, confusing and isoating itself in self-centered despair.”
“…the mind’s acceptance of the situation, free to allow space for new possibilities to come into view.”
