They are just so beautiful and twinkly that they are irresistible to women. They simply can’t help but own a little diamond ring or a set of diamond earrings.

Earrings themselves have been around for hundreds, if not thousands of years and have taken on many different significances for different current and historical cultures.

Playing the Money Game

Jul 29th, 2009 Posted in business | no comment »

Reprogamming the subconscious mind may seem like a task for a thirty minute CD right before bed, and it may be that is the case. What if, however, you took the self improvement a step further? That is exactly the fun I’ve been having with the simple phrase of “You are the money!” Taking the excitement in front of a mirror makes it all the more personal because you can’t escape who you’re really talking to…YOURSELF!

My favorite mentor is a firm believer in the power of the Mastermind and in having an Accountability Partner. This gives players in bigger games the support they want to stay on track both with physical goals and their own positive mental attitude, PMA. Oftentimes the light hearted play that comes from those sessions BREAKS up stuck energy simply by introducing play into a perhaps too serious thought that one is not good enough.

At just one such moment my Accountability Partner, Joe Caltabelotta and I were affirming money and the free time to enjoy family and life. In the most perfect and light hearted tone, Joe called out, Ellen, you are the money. We both had fun laughing and enjoying the moment while I affirmed it right back to him. In the flavor of our favorite mentor, we decided that the mirror exercise would be the perfect place to take that affirmation. I like that because then Im really sure who Im talking about.

So here’s the fact: you really are the money. I really am the money. We all are. Only our thinking makes what we experience to appear in whatever form it takes. And whenever the untrue thought comes, whatever the negative is, just have fun with it by laughing it out with, You know you are the money!

Change your thoughts and create the abundance of wealth you were designed to have. You are the creator in your world and there is nothing else. You are the power and the change. You decide. You make it happen. You’re the one who can make changes for you but in the meantime I ask that you keep believeing the best about you and for you. If the changes are painful, don’t give up; newness and wonder are at hand. You deserve the best. You are the All Potential and of course, You Are the Money.

Have Fun Manifesting, Ellen Valentine

When Prayer Works

Jul 28th, 2009 Posted in spirituality | no comment »

People have long thrown themselves into supplication when their hearts are heavy, feel broken or in times there seems no way out. Some people say they don’t think God hears their prayers, while others trust completely that their prayers are heard and answered. What makes the difference in outcome and attitude?

One of the earliest decisions we seem to make as humans is that of trust. Can I really trust that life will care for me, give me what I need and desire? Those questions are well described by one of the world’s most caring and loving Humanistic Psychotherapists, Abraham Maslow in his chart of the hierarchy of human needs. The first levels of awareness are relevant to this discussion of trust and why anyone of us views what we pray for as: sure to come to pass in a pleasant satisfying manner, or sure to move away from us because life doesn’t work to support us.

The first revel of Maslow’s Hierarchy is that of Physiological Needs. Are our biological needs met sufficiently, on time and administered with love and openness? Unless these needs flow in regular and sufficient patterns, a small infant will most likely feel like life is not a happy or an abundant place to be. That is a huge message that is ingrained early on in a young mind and will inevitably set up patterns of lack of trust and confidence in life and subsequently, the power of prayer.

The Need for Safety is level two on Maslow’s ladder to Self Actualization and also fits perfectly into the understanding for each of us as to why prayer seems to work or not. A young child will inevitably grab for its parent’s or guardian’s hand when a stranger comes or they start into territories unknown. My young granddaughter will tighten her grasp around my neck when strangers come close out in public. She likes that reassurance that we are one and that nothing bad will happen to her when she is with me.

As people give lovingly to a child: physiological needs, safety, reassurance, orderliness and a sense of decency, the child learns to trust that she or he can travel life paths unafraid of being hurt. In that sense a child also gets the feeling that life works for them. Could it be that those early lessons as to how life works, or not, for us determines how we view the matter of prayers and whether or not they will work for us?

What types of prayers are we talking about here? Are they memorized and practiced with little thought? No, the prayers that are the answerable types are deep, heartfelt, and filled with the entirety of our Being. They are honest and they are trusted in to work out, perhaps not exactly the way we want but always in the most beneficial manner for us and for all concerned. Of course, because life works well for us and in our behalf.

Prayers that work touch that deep core of who we are. The subconscious mind feels their very reality and begins moulding the plastic substance of the Universe to bring to us what we long for, what we expect. Not only do we utter the prayer, we FEEL the prayer into existence. We act as if it already is ours because in the heart of the Universe it IS already ours.

Infinite Intelligence, God, Source, whatever your term is for the Infinite Powers of All Life is directly tied into the Infinite Intelligence within each living soul. It is the very power that breathes us and keeps the heart beating at night, heals our body or digests residues of food while we sleep. Those are not acts we consciously will to happen. In many cases when we meddle in inadequate ways with our body’s intelligence we interrupt some of the good ways in which it works divinely. The body intelligence is DIVINE INTELLIGENCE.

All of that knowledge adds to your good experience of prayer. Will it work for me, you ask? It does work for any of us. Understanding that the divinity programmed into the human body is there IS the bridge between trusting that what we long for, what we pray for will come to us and our ability to receive what we ask for. It allows the human imagination to actually see what we desire as being already true for us. Therefore, it is already ours energetically.

Healing early childhood deprivations and coming to grips with the REALITY that all good is there for all persons regardless of their past is important. The past has no hold on any of us once we realize the insignificance of past thoughts and the wonder of the present moment. We literally break energetic bonds to old outdated thinking. Using the real and spiritual and scientific nature of prayer to attract what we desire is the right and privilege of everyone. The Bible tells us to pray and BELIEVE that it is already given to us. My friend and mentor, Jack Canfield says to “Decide what you want; know you can have it; believe you deserve it; and be open to receive it.” That is a powerful model for prayer.

Yes, prayer does work. What are you praying for? What do you IMAGINE to be true for you? Think of what you expect for yourself as the ultimate prayer. Decide the good things you want, believe that they are already yours and know with all of your heart that you deserve all the good life has to give. What you believe to be true for you is rising as a prayer in every moment, and it does come true for any of us. What are you believing right now?

Expect the Best, Ellen Valentine, CNC

The Critics Of Neuro Linguistic Programming Have These To Say

Jul 25th, 2009 Posted in business | no comment »

Any theory that comes to in this world has had to face its share of criticisms. It happened with Archimedes and Newton when their physical theories came first to presence. But over a period of time, individuals accepted these theories with both their hands. The same kind of response had been given to neuro linguistic programming, and while the technique in itself is not so bad, neuro linguistic programming has generated quite some bad press for some years now.

One of the first claims of NLP to be disputed was that its a scientifically respectable method. This claim of neuro linguistic programming did not have any scientific backing at all. It does have a rather impressive bibliography with terms like neurological levels, accessing cues, but that in no way means it can compete with legitimate disciplines like neurolinguistics or neuroscience.
