With thanks to Heather Wibbels, I give you, the Glowing Sheep of Wales. This is something you’ve got to see to believe. Especially the Mona Lisa and the fireworks bit at the end. Sheer brilliance fellas!
1) Is your hair on fire/is the world ending/is my life in danger this very second? If no, and you have food in your belly, a roof over your head and clothes on your back, you do not have a problem. Use your choice of calming methods from awareness meditation to yoga to bring yourself back to center, and out of stress response.
2) How would you rather feel? Once you’ve breathed yourself back down to okay again, no matter what else might be going on, you have a choice as to how you wish to feel about it. Choose that feeling now. Write it down. Some folks like to write a cue word to this much-more-resourceful state on their hand or a post-it attached to their purse or backpack. Put it in someplace accessible that you’ll see many times as you go through your day.
Try for one word as your “rather feel this way” reminder, instead of a phrase.One of the things I’ve found in my work with clients and large groups is that the simpler you make something, the more deeply it goes and the greater the possibility for communities and whole geographical regions that can come to be able to feel this way, simply because you are putting your intentions out there.
Look at this word throughout the day to remind yourself of how you’d rather feel. Remember the last time you felt this way and fully flesh out that memory. Say “Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!” to confirm to yourself you Really. Wanna. Feel that way.
Now step into that feeling. Mmm…
3) Now make another choice: What generative energy, space and consciousness do you want to be and manifest today? Choose that, write it down in the air in letters of flame or whatever color and shape please you. See the letters fade out. Breathe in and out. Remember what you wrote. Go, and remember it throughout the day.
How do you feel now? Remember that, the next time upset and “things appearing like danger but really, when you think about it… aren’t.” threatens.
Keep breathing in your reminder word – how you’d rather feel. And remembering what you choose to generate, how you wish to be and what you will manifest today.
I look forward to hearing what you are choosing for today.
If you’d like to commit to waking up and co-supporting others who are doing the same,

What do YOU Choose?
I enjoy bringing you innovations in consciousness & healing, hot off the press, to entertain and enlighten. And do I ever have a great resource for you today…a balm for the troubled spirit. This is for everyone who’s had a rocky time in life and finds that makes it rea-a-a-lly difficult to maintain a state of consciousness, and love your life again, despite it all.
It’s a book, and the fantastic woman who is providing us such a great example of using her life to bring consciousness to millions – Lynne Klippel (at right). Lynne and I have mixed it up in various conferences and coaching experiences for the past ten years and she’s a self-publishing go-to gal. Today is special to Lynne as she has just published her new book “Overcomers, Inc. – True Stories of Hope, Courage and Inspiration”. You can find it here or read on for my review:
http://www.overcomersbook.com/booklaunch
(and nope, in case you’re wondering: I don’t get a penny for this, I’m sharing just for the joy of it) 
I did an advance review of the book – still true, plus some:
“It is no coincidence that happiness, gratitude and simple, time-honored truths are key themes in this beautiful collection of stories where faith, hope, optimism, and sheer determination, triumph over the worst of odds.
If you’re stuck in a rut, or doing well either one, you’ll enjoy the unfailingly positive message and relish the tools Overcomers, Inc. provides to surface deep gratitude and awareness to empower your life.”
Who is this book aimed at? You’ll get the most out of it if:
Plus which…
A number of excellent authors, teachers & conscious entrepreneurs have contributed health & wellbeing bonuses & goodies as part of Lynne’s special launch for Overcomers, Inc, and while what I’ve seen today is great stuff the real treasure are the stories, the triumphs and lessons in the book itself.
If you order today, there are bonuses and more, here:
http://www.overcomersbook.com/booklaunch
It’s my pleasure to support Lynne and support consicousness in those who are going through rough times by letting everyone I know, know about “Overcomers, Inc.”.
If you’re into a life of ease, grace and joy, you’ll find it in this book .Congratulations to Lynne for a job very well done!
I sure hope so. But, if things aren’t going so well and you’re having challenges, you’re going to like the freebies & treats I have for you throughout October.
October is going to be a busy month. I love the autumn, and this month, will return to public speaking. Coming up will be several really cool no-fee teleseminar series aimed at getting you Conscious, out of fear and helping you stay there, plus tutorials on Vibrational Healing, Spirituality and Outrageous Wellbeing.
October is also Breast Health Awareness Month, so you can count on a good primer (a video, if I can muster the intestinal fortitude to do it “al fresco”…) on ways to keep breasts healthy, for guys and gals both.
Trick or treat? As the month progresses, you’re in for an amazing grab bag of goodies - all treats, I promise.
You’ll want to mark your calendars for the first of these learning opportunities on Tuesday, October 13th at 6pm Pacific / 9pm Eastern. I’ll lead off the month keynoting the Soulfelt teleseminar series with Michelle Skaletski-Boyd and a host of wonderful presenters you’ll love learning from. If you get my newslettter, you’ll receive your invitation to this no-cost teaching series this Thursday. If you’re not subscribed, you can do that by requesting your free Bliss Kit in the form to the left of this page.
Then wait for Thursday (it’s gonna be so much FUN!) and watch your mail…
Before all that gets underway, I wanted to share some resources I’ve sourced out for the Love Your Life Again class. These are things we all need and are no-cost ways to improve the amount of happiness you have. And who doesn’t need more happiness? Please share these with everyone!
If you’ve ever taken class with me, you’ll know that I love checking in with the body, and always direct you back to your body for answers you need (they’re there, really). The body is a fantastic resource most people partially or
completely ignore, thinking: it’s just a vehicle to schlep your mind around in, why pay attention to it unless it hurts? But the body is also a source of great joy, and the repository of every single memory and emotion you have. One of my favorite quotes about why the world is so screwy relates to this:
“Unresolved emotional pain is the great contagion of our time — of all
time.”
And guess where that emotional pain is stored? Yep, it’s in our bodies. Marc Ian Barasch, spokesperson for “cultural creatives” (like me, and you if you’re reading this) former editor of New Age Journal wrote about the mind-body
connection in a great early-90’s Psychology Today article that’s worth a re-read, especially if you’re new to this idea: “welcome To The Mind-Body Revolution” here:
http://bit.ly/mind-body-revolution
There’s lots here. Candace Pert and the neurochemistry of emotions, breast cancer survival (plus how to make a tumor disappear), the Dalai Lama and wired monks, Larry Dossey & the Boggle Factor and finally the sage advice of Buckminster Fuller. This article is sixteen years old and still relevant as tomorrow.
What did you think of the ideas in this article? Agree? Disagree? Do you even think some of these things are possible? I’d love to enter conversation with you on your mind-body connection thoughts. Just scroll down this pageand share your observations in the comment section.
And…after you’ve absorbed this great info, why not clear the feelings of emotional pain your body may generate, with the ETHOS Method or your favorite clearing technique? The more we clear, the less screwy our world. And by extension, everyone else’s world…
Union Valley Headache RemedySounds like the name of a swanky PTA chapter, doesn’t it? Nope, Union Valley is an acupoint on your hand in the flesh web between the thumb and first finger. From the place where there is only skin, go back into the palm area until you feel the muscle between the thumb and index finger bones.
Use your index and first fingers of your other hand to press firmly on either side of the Union Valley point for at least ten seconds, then let up. This causes energy to drain out of the head and is great not only for headaches, but for over-thinking, addictive behaviors and getting people back into their bodies when they become ungrounded.
So How Happy Are You…Really?Here’s a great series of tests that I sourced out for the “Love Your Life Again” crowd that I thought I’d pass on. They’re from ground zero of the Positive Psychology movement at the University of Pennsylvania, under the guidance of well-known researcher and psychologist, Dr. Marty Seligman. You need to register (it’s f.r.e.e), but you can provide help to the research department plus find out a lot about your own “Authentic Happiness” here:
That’s all for today, and I wish you a very happy first week of October.
Hurray!
Autumn is here with black cats (our charcoal-grey fluffer Anoushka, at least), pumpkins and bobbing for apples plus bonfires, taffy pulls & spiced cider. Hay rides too, and all manner of things that remind me of home during this exciting season.
Did the air EVER smell so good? Drink down the invigorating energies of autumn with every breath and enjoy the results…
Until Thursday, have a great week!
In case you hadn’t heard, I’m on a mission to get people loving their lives again. The content I’ll be putting out for the next little while is geared around this.
So if you haven’t yet joined our open-all-year Love Your Life Again class, you can still benefit from some of the highlights here at the blog, and let me know what YOUR answers to some of the provocative Love Your Life Again questions are — if you dare!
“If I were granted an EXTRA LIFE in addition to my own, what grand and glorious thing would I choose to do with it? ”
…
And now for the kicker:
Each day you are granted a whole new life.
Live the change you want to see.
BE the hero you wish would save you.
…and if in a day it doesn’t work out, remember, there’s always that OTHER brand new life you get when you wake up tomorrow…
…Or for that matter, every single second of every day….for every second is an invitation to be in the Now, to come to Presence and use your awareness to do great things. If this second doesn’t work out, there’s always the next, and the next, and the next.
The nice thing is, it’s always Now.
Your moment to shine beautifully is Here.
Use it wisely.
“You are Love, You are Loved and You are Loving”
- d. deLarm, the Missouri sweet medicine man
At this point in time, many people aren’t having that great an experience of life.
The economy sucks, jobs are lost, relationships are suffering and affordable healthcare seems like a dream. And everyone dislikes some aspect of their life. Thighs and hips are still top the list, followed by jobs, spouses, the economy, personal problems and concerns about our kids.
People are really focusing on the negative, even meditators and therapists I’ve known for years to be the voice of good cheer.
And we wonder why there’s fighting in the world!
LOVE YOUR LIFE TIP #1:
I’ve been teaching this for years but never has it been more important for us to really GET:
“What you give A.I.R. – Your Attention, Your Intention and Repetition – LIVES. And what you give your attention, and intention to repetitively, will manifest more and more in your life.”
Like the flab on your thighs, the dwindling balance in your bank account, how horrible your relationship is, etc. It’s really just that simple. But people don’t get it, and keep paying attention to the bad, not the good in their lives.
(it was a “duh!” moment when I realized this)
One way you can realize when you’re doing this is an old trick from behavioral psychology. Loop a rubber bandaround your wrist and snap it every time you catch yourself thinking negatively. It will soon insert a “pause” in your process where you can choose. A choice you could make given the previous example might be: “Do I want to dwell on how horrible it is to be fat, or will I take a walk and think about how wonderful my thighs will feel when they NO LONGER rub together?”
This simple process inserts Choice, and gives the monkey-mind that tends to fix on negative things, a pleasant and positive alternative. Just keep feeling the air between your thighs, or seeing that gold gleaming in your bank account, or whatever it is that really turns you on when you think about it.
People need those kind of alternatives.
That’s why I want your help to Spread Love to End War as a grass-roots people’s movement.
Let me explain:
Doesn’t it stand to reason, that if we stop fighting ourselves internally, and learn to love ourselves really well, and spend more of our time in a state of supreme bliss, that we’ll be less warlike as a planet?
That’s my goal, because I know that if you love yourself well, you become a beacon to spread that love out to others who don’t have as many happy resources inside themselves.
And what happens when one center of love spreads the love outward? Other people start loving themselves! And outward it spreads, as a movement.
Like a virus, exuding love is infectious. People get happy just being around you!
Isn’t that COOL?
That’s why I’m bringing it back home with these tips, and in sharing more deeply on in our Love Your Life Again Class.
When you learn to love all of you, 100%, even your thighs, and your boss and your bank balance, those things CHANGE. Did you know that? Extra coolness.
Here’s another important tip on how to feel good. I think you’ll find it easy and even enjoyable to implement, to help you, and everyone around you to spread the Love virus:
LOVE YOUR LIFE TIP #2:
If we know the right questions to ask, we open up even more possibilities for happiness, in.come, relationship goodness, and other things you may be seeking. Here’s an absolute barn-burner of a question to ask – and not be attached to any answer or outcome of:
“What generative energy, space and consciousness can I be to manifest ______________?”
Fill in the blank with the SOLUTION you’re wanting – NOT the problem.
Then say: “Anything that wouldn’t allow that to happen, I uncreate, dissolve and release it completely”. Take in a big breath, blow it out, and let it all go.
Then, super-power this affirmation, with the ETHOS Method cues and step aside into your Unlimited Self where these problems don’t exist. You also might wish to use the One-Point acuhold if you respond best to meridian energy work.
If you have difficulty letting things go, want to join a Master Class in The ETHOS Method, or just want more support, love & joy in your life, please join us for the “Love Your Life Again” class. I promise, you’ll come out of this month-long class changed in ways that will delight you!

This material is literally changing people’s lives. I taught a large chunk of it last year in my three month 12 Keys To Bliss program, and am committed to EVERYONE having the same result as Sandy did in that class. She says:
“I want to give this class and Maryam a resounding testimonial!
I thought I was happy. I had a great life, good marriage, great
kids. But was I really blissful? When I thought about it I had to
admit no I wasn’t. I signed up more out of curiosity to improve
my life and got SO much more than I expected! It changed my life
for the better in many, many ways. I learned great techniques and
tools to set us on our path that I can use for the rest of my
life, that I can help my kids, teach my clients. They were easy &
simple to learn yet lifechanging and profound. I’m very very
grateful and happy that I’ve taken this class. Every day I enjoy
my life more and don’t feel life is passing me by. I’m living my
life to the fullest!”

I just met a wonderful new person on Twitter: @stillettochick a.k.a. Betty-Ann Heggie. She’s an energy junkie like me and had this wonderful post on her blog:
Aug 28, 2009 – Saskatoon, Sask.: Is the energy of your city serving you? A friend in Europe emailed me to say that when she enters a city, she feels the energy and can tell whether it’s male or female. For instance, she spent most of her life in Zurich and got a definite masculine vibe from its focus on production efficiency. She now lives in Prague, which has been called the “mother of cities”; indeed, she feels a warm, loving, healing embrace from the city. I experienced this when our daughter was choosing a university. We drove to many good schools that she wasn’t even interested in touring once we arrived and she felt the energy of the city.
To see if there was anything to this, I contacted Patty Beach, an expert on masculine and feminine energy…
This is a great article as is Betty-Ann’s blog. I spent a few moments reading through articles here today and now have a great new blog to add to my daily reading list.
There’s nothing for revealing the truth like a chat with a girlfriend. I was talking this summer to my bookkeeper and gal pal Paula about how much we loved our lives and why others we knew didn’t. Paula said to me “You know Maryam, people just want to feel good about themselves. But in this economy, and with all the violence going on in the world, they just don’t. What can we do to help people out?”
Why don’t people love their lives? It’s a question that has driven many of us (me included) into therapy, coaching, spiritual studies and years of self-examination. For many here, it’s what has driven us to divorce, separation and anxiety-driven lifestyles.
We talked some more about how much of what appears in our lives is illusory, and how people sometimes buy into illusions that make them miserable. People are going through some very hard times caused by those illusions right now and misery is widespread. The rough truth of this caught my attention – this is something I can help with, I thought.
I examined my life to determine why, other than the obvious,I loved my life when many with far more in the way of possessions and prestige seemed so miserable. I came to some valuable conclusions that I wanted to share with you, as I believe just examining these issues in your life can make you so much happier. I am presenting these as coaching questions for you to use alone or with a mastermind partner or coaching buddy, and to pass on to those whose happiness you care about.
1) If you shed the false illusions you live under, you’ll be a lot happier. An example of a false illusion might be “If s/he falls in love with me, my life will be perfect.” That makes YOUR emotional state dependent on the whims of someone else. Who may never fall in love with you, or if they do, may turn out to be a nightmare.
Same thing goes with “When I win the lottery, I’ll finally be happy” or “When the divorce finally comes through I’ll be happy”. Why wait? Choose to be happy today, regardless! Happiness is available to both princess and pauper. What we think of as externally-created emotions are ALL self-generated chemical combinations cooked up inside your own body. YOU have the power to change your emotional state simply by choosing what you want. So ask yourself: “What is True about this situation?” All of it? None of it? 15% of it?
What is yours, take responsibility for and change. What comes from someone else, give back.
To do that, ask of unwanted emotions: “Who does this belong to?” Is the illusion self-created, or another person’s that you’ve bought into? Women are tremendously sensitive to energy. Oftentimes the angst, sudden anger or even menstrual cramps you’re feeling don’t really belong to you, but come from your neighbor next door or a stranger you passed in a crowd.
Our bodies are giant tuning mechanisms for Radio Station Y-O-U. What you give the most attention to in your thoughts will broadcast outward energetically and will attract back to you similar emotions, situations and people. One of the things your body does naturally is to “pick up” other people’s broadcasts of negative emotions, pain, or symptoms. This too is an illusion, because these feelings aren’t really yours. Asking “who does this belong to” helps you realize – and drop – other’s expectations and energy.
2) You don’t need to know the answer to any of these questions, just keep asking them and the change will happen. If you learn to live in the question, without hardening and fixing your expectations around “the one true answer”, you’ll be happier because answers come more abundantly. Bellyaching about how bad things are or saying “this is just the way it is and there’s no point in hoping for better” only keeps you in the rut you’re in.
When you say “I wonder what it would take to start my own business?” instead of griping about not having one, you free yourself to go find out what it would take, get funding if necessary, study up for professional exams and so on. Use “I wonder what it would take…” to defuse the natural human tendency to gravitate towards the negative.
3) If we know the right questions to ask, we open up even more possibilities for happiness than ever before. Here’s an absolute barn-burner of a question to ask – and not be attached to any answer or outcome of:
“What generative energy, space and consciousness can I be to manifest ______________?”
Fill in the blank with the SOLUTION you’re wanting – NOT the problem.
Then say: “Anything that wouldn’t allow that to happen, I uncreate, dissolve and release it completely” and let it go.
If you have difficulty letting things go, I created a quick and easy consciousness bringing method that features healing of “issues” as a welcome side effect. It’s called ETHOS, it works beautifully, invisibly, and is entirely free to the public. You can download the whole method and participate if you like, in our online support community at: http://ethosmethod.ning.com
Put these questions to work and I guarantee, you’ll be happier, open more options in your life and witness amazing things happening that you never would have expected – gifts from nowhere, funds you forgot you were owed, old friends calling you’d wondered about just this morning and more. I’ve even seen miracle cures when people simply stopped needing to know the answer and rested contentedly in the arms of the question.
Try it, you’ll see!
And if you want more structured support around getting happy please do join our “Ethos For Loving Your Life Again” class in September. Bonuses & $70 off until September 1st. Read about it here:

Maryam here, hoping this finds you well in the world and standing firmly inside your Un*limited Self today. I’m still taking time off on a creative hiatus, but there were a few things I wanted to let you in on today so thought I’d put a word your way.
I have a useful, no-cost audio for you below, that tattles on my life at the point of the interview, some practical tips on letting go and incorporates GREAT energy coaching…
A gift, from my dear friend and student Liz Lichti and her business partner Laura Whitelaw, a few well…interesting answers to the question you may have been wanting to ask: Why did I walk away from my business to follow my Bliss? (this is me at right a couple of months ago feeling pretty blissful, with The Book. After a day in the pool, man, was I ever sunburned!)
You’ll also learn how, when and why you can (and sometimes SHOULD) drop everything to follow your own Bliss too.
Get the scoop AND experience a live ETHOS demo with Laura, Liz and myself, in their Way to Bliss Now community and you’ll get a sweet bonus audio of theirs on abundance, as well:
http://thewaytoblissnow.com/blog/download-for-interview-with-maryam-webster
Hope you enjoy it! I look forward to seeing your thoughts if you’d like to post them, in the ETHOS Method Community forums. And if you’ve never visited or posted before, this is your engraved invitation! It’s all here for you:
Further on me? Well, I’m having a lot of epiphanies, learning a lot of new things and reformulating the idea of what true value I would like to bring you in the future. I hope you’re following your own bliss and living in the Now, stepped fully inside your own precious, unique Unlimited Self and having a ton of fun with yourself, every day.
Health & Happiness!
Warm Blessings,
Maryam
