Hullo everyone, this is Julia again.  How are you?

Do you every wonder why you aren't happy?? 

Do you search everywhere for happiness?  Like overseas holidays, gourmet or junk food, alcohol, drugs, partying, shopping,personal growth workshops,  gambling??

If we look at all those things, they are all outside us.   What is it that drives us to do the things we do looking for happiness?

I believe it is the mind.  Our minds are very powerful.  Some think too powerful.
We believe our minds, we listen to our minds, we think that what our minds tell us has to be the truth. But is it always the truth???

NO! Our minds are only as old as our bodies - e.g. 20 or 30 or 60 etc. So that's how much experience our minds have had. 

When our minds tell us "My hair looks horrible today" or " I look ugly today" or "I'm not much of a person because I don't have lots of money",  how do we now this is the truth???

We dont. But we don't usually question our minds, we say, okay that's what my mind said so it must be the truth!  Then if we believe a statement like "I look ugly today" we start to feel sad, or depressed, or if we're a model we might feel fear that we could lose our job!

So this is where it can be so valuable to ask ourselves the question:

Is this true? Is this absolutely true? How do I know it's true?

There is a great teacher called Byron Katie who has written several books about this if you're interested.

We can also make a conscious decision if we hear the voice in our heads saying something negative about who we are, or how we look, we can simply say:

Dear my mind,
Thank you for your input, however, this is not helpful for me today.
Now I will think something positive
I Love my hair, I love my body just the way it is.
Thank you mind.

Then we could take it one step further and repeat over and over,
I love my hair, I love my body.
This is Mind Power, the power of the mind.

This requires discipline, but it can be done, bit by bit until we stop saying negative things about ourselves and also other people.  

I will talk further about this and how we can use Soul Power which is even more powerful than mind power to heal ourselves.

In love and light,
Julia

Dear Friends,
This is Julia again. How are you?
When I learn how to I will add some videos etc. to make this more exciting for you. Until then I will just write to you.

Today I thought I would write to you about the Mind and expectations.
Its just past Easter now and as I reflect back on my weekend I think some of my pain on Friday was due to expectations of how Easter SHOULD be!!!

I have memories of happy Easters when my children were small. Happy Easters even as a child. The warm weather, the relaxation, the Easter egg,s the laughter and more.

But life never stays the same, life is change.

And so the mind - the mind doesnt like change, it wants to hold onto joy and happiness. It wants everything to be just perfect and lovely all the time.  And then we can get angry because of this desire. And then we get depressed because we can't MAKE it how we want it.

Of course, we do have the power to create a happy day. It may be a different kind of day than we have been used to, it might be a quieter day, or a noisier day, or a busier day or whatever, but if we can just ACCEPT what it is, and what we can do to make it how we want it, that is, Happy, then we will be happy!!

But we have to catch the mind and what it is up to!!! There's the catch, we have to start watching our mind. Noticing its little sneaky thoughts that start to build until suddenly we have a strong negative EMOTION. Try to catch it before that and ask yourself, What can I do to make my day enjoyable even if its not what I think it should be.

We could save ourselves a lot of pain if we just did that and nothing more.  But we do have to take action and find something to do that will fill us with joy.. For example if the children come over and expect a nice lunch from us and we're grumpy because we feel like lying on the couch reading a good novel, How about changing the thinking to GRATITUDE and enjoying their company while we have it.  Make them laugh, make them sing, bring joy to someone else and WE  will experience joy.

Or if no one is coming and we are lonely we could think of all our friends and family and send them LOVE, sing I LOVE YOU, dance and sing I LOVE YOU.
We can also chant: I am so grateful for everything I have received in my life.

Here's just a few thoughts, based on my own life experience that I am still learning to do.

Much love to you all,
Julia

Relationships and depression

Good morning everyone! Welcome to my blogspot!

This morning I would like to think about emotions - given that is what my blogspot is all about that's a good start.

When we are in the middle of negative emotions like depression - everything seems very bad indeed.
When we are not in the middle of negative emotions like depression - everything doesnt seem so bad.

Why?

When we are depressed - and Im not talking about Clinical Depression which is an entirely different thing and I will not be addressing here as I am not a Psychologist or Psychiatrist.

When we are depressed it is - for me - because of something that has happened. Usually someone has said some stuff to me that has "hurt my feelings". Sometimes I am not fully aware, in the moment of their speaking, of how I am feeling.  Then the next minute I am feeling depressed. Why?

Because my mind has taken hold of the things said, or the way it is said, and given it all a label. For example:

"He/she is so unkind", He/she is so unfair, He/she has it all wrong" and so on. Then that can escalate into:
He/she doesnt really love me or he/she would never say such a thing, act in such a way.
How can I live with such a person. How can I put up with this kind of talk, behaviour etc.??

Then if we have made a committment to that person we just can't walk away!  So then the mind gets stuck and feels there is no solution, then the depression sets in.  That's for me anyway, how about you?

Then the next day we get up and the person is normal again, kind again, thoughtful and loving again!! Then we feel so strange - what is going on here??

Well I used to have a teacher who talked about "When your demons attack!!!"  So when your demons attack - this part of you takes over and makes you a crazy person an unkind person, an obsessional person or whatever is your particular demon (we can have more than one kind of course).

What I think personally I need to do is when the person close to me has a "demon attack" I need to recognise it as such and start to send them LOVE and start to send ME LOVE. Then when and if my mind starts to take over and reflect on how awful this all is, I might start chanting I love You .

Well anyway, Im just ruminating here and will think about this more, will you think about this? - let me know what you think!! ???


In summary:

1. Label the other person's outburst: A Demon Attack
2. Give LOVE to yourself and the other
3. Chant I love you
 This way you are being pro active and you dont have to feel like a victim in all this - which is what can make us feel depressed I believe.

There is a way to deal with our relationships, our depression, our unbalanced emotions.
In fact there are many ways. This is just one. But a very powerful one because

"Love melts all blockages and transforms all life" Dr and Master Zhi Gang Sha

I will write about other ways in further blogs.

I will also let you know if next time this happens for me I am able to do the above and not just write about it.
With love and blessings,
Julia

Hullo everyone this is Julia again!

Today I dont feel so happy all of a sudden! Why? Thoughts, selfish thoughts actually.
This started to lead me to feel a little depressed, wanting excitement and more.

What to do about this? Allow the depression and thoughts to escalate just leads to suffering more.
So I tuned in to Master Sha's beautiful Chanting Channel available 24/7 free!!!

And just at that moment Master Sha was chanting Shining Soul Light - i joined in and now 20 mins later I feel much better.  Im very grateful for this channel and hope you have a look for yourself - you can ask for a blessing - that's what I did - I asked for healing for depression and negative mindsets.

Just go to tv.drsha.com and see for yourself.

Im so grateful for this channel and the healing it can bring very rapidly if we open our hearts and believe.

Lots of love to you all,

Julia, smiling again. xxxxx

Hullo everyone,
How are you? Im very happy at present. That's a nice place to be isn't it? How do we get to that nice place and how do we stay there?
Well actually we can't stay there!
We all want to stay there, but we are here on Mother Earth to learn lessons and that can be very painful at times. This pain that we feel connects to our emotions.

When I was 12 years old I cried one night in my bedroom because I had been praying to God and asking Him why he never responded to me? Why did he never talk back to people? I was brought up as a Christian and nobody in our circles expected God to reply except perhaps if we opened our Bible and found the answer there. But I felt so sad at that time.

This sadness continued and not until I met Master Sha did I learn how to communicate with the Divine in a way that he was able to reply to me.  I have received many special blessings from Master Sha and the Divine in order to open my Spiritual Channels.  Master Sha teaches that there are four spiritual channels:
1. Soul Language and Soul Song Channel
2. Direct Soul Communication Channel
3. Third Eye Channel
4. Direct Knowing Channel

I am so grateful to Master Sha for the blessings. If you go to any one of his books you will find the technique for bringing out your Soul Language.  Once you do that you can then learn to translate your Soul Language into your own native language. In this way you can start talking to your own soul or any soul in the Universe including the Divine!

Wow! that's all I can say.

Please get a copy of one of Master Sha's books e.g. Soul Wisdom, Soul Communication, Tao Song and Tao Dance and more to find this technique.

When I first found a book of Master Sha's I started practicing and my Soul Language came out. However I wasnt sure that it was my soul language so I went to a workshop with Master Trevor Allen in Melbourne, Australia and practiced with others.  When my soul language came out I just cried - I was so happy!
When i began to translate it was so wonderful.

If you have a good heart and you love the Divine or would like to then it will be possible for you to do the same.  You will be able to communicate with the Divine, or the Buddha, or Jesus or Mary or Quan Yin or any other high level spiritual being.

My sadness regarding this lack of communication has turned to Gratitude,awe and appreciation and reverence for this amazing gift we are being given by the Divine at this time on Mother Earth.

Love you all,
Julia

Hullo, this is Julia again!
 How are you all?
 Whoever you are - you have emotions!!
And that's not always an easy thing. Many of us are governed by our emotions. We get upset by something and we feel miserable for the rest of the day!
Why is that you may ask yourself? Why am I feeling bad all day after that argument with my husband, boyfriend or person I share a flat with.
Well along with emotions come thoughts.

Let's take an example:

Say I have breakfast with my boyfriend or girlfriend, we're in a hurry, have to get to work, or class or walk the dog or feed the baby. So we're in the kitchen preparing breakfast, making coffee etc. Then all of a sudden one of us speaks a little harshly to the other e.g. Why do you leave all the things all over the cupboard and there's no room left for me to put the coffee mugs and pot? Cant' you put things away when you've finished with them?
Well that can be enough sometimes to start something BIG!!!!! The other person reacts angrily saying we're just as bad at that as they are. Then we react with something else, like: You're just like your Mother (or Father).
Okay - so now we have a situation but we both have to leave for work, so its left up in the air and a bad feeling between us. Off we go to work, and on the way we start thinking - yes there we have it- we start THINKING- saying all sorts of things like: He doesnt really love me or he wouldnt say things like that. Or: she is such an unkind person I cant believe I married her!!
And so the thinking goes on , all day whenever we have a few minutes.
And so the emotions continue and can escalate and change to other emotions, the anger can turn to sadness, or depression.

I have struggled with these kinds of scenarios all my life until fairly recently,

Now I do several things when the above kind of situation occurs:

1. I shut my mouth! yes I SHUT MY MOUTH! (very helpful to practice this and as soon as possible!)
2. I leave the room if I have time and BREATHE.
3. I do a quick little forgiveness in my head:
Dear ...... Please forgive me for all the hurt and harm I have ever caused you and I forgive you for any hurt or harm you have ever caused me. I love you.
4. Then I am already feeling a lot better and if I do feel up to it I will go back to the kitchen and say directly to the other person: Im sorry for my part in this argument. Please forgive me. I love you.
5. If I dont feel better I will need to do further work which I will share with you next time. 
And I will talk about how to deal with the feelings you may still have as you walk down the street after the argument.

I hope you find this blog useful and helpful. I love you all. Julia

Negative Emotions often arise when we are tired.

Have you ever looked forward to time for yourself, all alone at last, feet up, heater on, a cup of tea waiting?
Oh Yippee! Great ! Wonderful! and then Boom!
Yes, instead of it being wonderful you feel kind of flat, even depressed?

Well that's what often happens to me, its not a new feeling.  After being on the go, lots of things happening, people all around, suddenly to be all alone isnt so great after all!!

Today I sat on the couch, cheese and biscuits, cup of tea and Boom, i felt a bit flat. In the past this would have developed further, I might have turned the TV on or had a sleep. But when I stopped watching TV or sleeping, it was still there, that feeling of loneliness.

Today I did something different.  Since I have been studying with Master Sha I have discovered many practices that help me to deal with feelings of loneliness, sadness, depression and so on.

If you have Master Sha's new book Soul Healing Miracles there's a wonderful practice on page 157 for healing the emotions - any emotion!! Yes, any!!

If you dont have the book you can order it on Amazon.com.

I followed the practice and chanted :Hei Heng Hong Ha - with my hand on my heart. I did this for about 3 mins. Gradually I started to relax and think of things I wanted to do that were constructive. I didnt sleep. I didnt watch TV. I started to do some study. I felt better. The emotion didnt run away with me into something bigger.

Master Sha teaches the Four Power Techniques - if you always use this format you can design your own practice.
Here's how you do it:
Body Power - sit up straight, put your hands where you need healing.
Sound Power - chant something positive e.g. Golden light heals my depression. Love heals.
Mind Power  - visualise or imagine or think golden light in your body, healing the emotion.
Soul Power - say hello: Dear my heart (for example - for depression) I love you. You have the power to heal yourself, do a good job. Thank you.
Chant for 3-5 mins or longer 3-5 times per day. The longer the better.
Notice how you feel afterwards.
You could be amazed. You could experience your own Soul Healing Miracle.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine certain organs are connected to certain emotions:
Liver - anger
Heart - depression and anxiety
Lungs - sadness and grief
Spleen - worry
Kidneys - fear
So concentrate on the organ that you think fits for your emotion - imagine it healing itself.
Remember:
Master Sha says: I have the power to heal myself, You have the power to heal yourself,
Together we have the power to heal the world.
More next time. Love Julia
