Never Take Anything Personal

Good morning to you! Sending loving light to you on this beautiful morning. Through my experience in life Monday morning seems to always have for many people what I use to lovingly refer to Garfield Syndrome. My chorus teacher from high school Mr. Andres used that phrase often on his sleepy eyed students. You see Garfield the cartoon cat hated Monday’s and loved lasagna. Smilez how many of us fit into that box? So I want to wish everyone an especially magical Monday, and may it be filled with loving light!

Today I would like to talk a little about Don Miquel Ruiz wonderful book THE FOUR AGREEMENTS. Like I said in yesterday’s blog this book changed my life, and I wanted to share it with you. Yesterday we talked about how our word’s can cast white magic or black magic. Today I want to touch base with the Second Agreement, “ Never Take Anything Personal.” What a wonderful day to talk about it as many of us will soon be if not already at our designated place of employment. How many of us experienced getting cut off by somebody not paying attention. What reaction did you have? Did you flip them off because they were an idiot? Or did you wish them loving light and a wonderful day? Normally when we take that Cutting off as a personal gesture toward us, it invokes the angry reaction followed by the finger. But if we stop for just one moment and take a breath we realize that person just isn’t in a very happy space and well If I send him or her loving light it raises my vibration and will raise the vibration of that person. So I choose to smile and wave at that person instead.

Another example I find everyday are the posts on facebook. When I come across someone ranting because it was their choice to take whatever was said or done personally. I find it raises my vibration just to send them loving light. When we take things personal we soon find ourselves either in the middle of anger or even in a state of depression. I am here to tell you my friend whatever the reaction to any experience that anyone goes through is their problem and not yours. It only becomes yours if you decide to take it into you and make it yours. Remember anger will bring you more anger, love will bring you more love. When we do decide to take on what I lovingly call other peoples shit we can become ill. We hold onto it and it grows like a cancer, or in my research have seen it turn into cancer.

This also goes both ways in taking a compliment. I have learned that we are on this planet to experience and to also love. When we take a compliment inside ourselves and it goes to our head, we can become “puffed up”. Our spiritual ego loves this because it strokes our ego. I have learned that when I take a compliment into my heart it flows and than whispers away.

I have learned that I am no better than you, as a matter of fact I am a mirror image of you. What do you see mostly? Is it positive loving attributes or the negative judging reflection? It truly is your choice. What I see is truly a reflection of what I have inside me, a reflection of either my heart or ego. After all I am you, and you are me, and we are one.

Think about it. Name calling, labeling, bullying, whatever we have created in the past would simply disappear when everyone starts living by those 4 little words…. “NEVER TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY.” Honestly there wouldn’t be anything to fight over, and than… well we have peace.

Today I have only touched upon the Second Agreement for it is very powerful to choose to Never Take Anything Personally. It’s wonderful food for thought my friends. Happy digesting.

P.S I just wanted to quickly touch on the choices I made food wise in my journey of being healthy. When I first moved back to Colorado I had a wonderful acupunctu

rist at the Whole Health Center in Highlands Ranch that suggested I try the Candida diet. On this way of eating I completely took yeast, caffeine, sugar and anything that could grow yeast out of my daily diet. Did you know that there is yeast in sooooo many products out on the market? I grew accustomed to reading every single label I came across. An over abundance of candida in our system can lead to many health issues as well or worsen a condition that has already manifested. During this healthy way of eating the pounds shed off of me. I excercised some but it was minor and consisted mostly of walking and light yoga. After I started developing my muscles back I even started to run a bit. Exercise is something that I can definitely improve on though.

With that I will leave you to experience your day, remember if you fill it with love, love will return to you. I love you so very much. I wish for love, joy, peace, health, and abundance, and what I wish for myself I wish for every MAN, WOMAN, and CHILD. Sending you loving light. Namaste’ ( I see the god or goddess inside you and I love and respect you.)

Your Word is Impeccable

Good morning to you! Happy CInco De Mayo! Sending loving light to you! Yesterday I talked about how the first step to obtaining health is Love. Today I am going to talk a little about how to obtain the Love. I read a book a while ago called “THE FOUR AGREEMENTS” by Don Miguel Ruiz. This small 138 page book changed my life and set me on the true path of unconditional love! The first step is to Love yourself and then love others. This wonderful book showed me the way and now I would like to share it with you.

The first agreement I would like to talk about is “ Your Word is Impeccable.” In other words “With every word I speak I will cast either white magic or black magic. We grew up with trite phrases such as “ Kill two birds with one stone.” I knew that I probably used that phrase daily and I wasn’t truly aware of how much violence I was spreading by simply having that thought and than using those words. When I became AWARE of my thoughts and words and really understanding that mixed communication I was able to take the power back into my life. By simply transmuting those words into “Saving two birds with one hand.” I was able to have a complete loving thought. Which in turn raised my vibration, which in turn raised the vibration of those around me.

We can curse our children and our loved ones and even ourselves by thoughtless communication especially when we are angry and not guarding our thoughts and words. We simply justify the use of our words by what emotion we were having. Sure we come back and say we are sorry after just lambasting someone, but listen to me very carefully when I tell you those thoughts became words which gave those thoughts power to manifest when they leave our lips and the intent and frequency at which we used them will come back. Remember we were spoken into existence by our Creator God, Source, Divine Spirit. Feel free to fill in whatever name you would like to. We are children of God our Creator and our Creator God passed onto us the power to create as well. We just need to think before we speak.

When we become ill because we don’t love our bodies enough to treat them as temples, we hear people say “My disease is….” I have learned that just by the thought and speaking this we do become the “owners of this disease” The illness or sickness than says” Okay I am yours I am now a part of you.” I have also learned that we can disown the illness as well by not claiming it. When I looked into the mirror I told my body I truly love you, and I asked my body to please forgive me for not taking care of it. I swear at that moment my whole body radiated with a glow. Although I am still overcoming the mistreatment of my body by making the choices I did. My health is bouncing back. It takes some real thought before we speak, but by simply changing something negative into positive the energy will transmute and my friends it will change your life.

A very good example of transmuting energy was seen when Mother Theresa was asked to protest at a Anti-War demonstration. She simply declined and said that” if you have a Pro-Peace rally I would be happy to attend.”

Today I have talked a little bit about our words and truly being aware of them when we speak them because they are truly magical. Of course the power to obtaining health is in our hands by the words we speak is one of the many keys to health. I also want to emphasize that eating fresh organic fruits and veggies, organic eggs, and substituting sweetener by using honey, using herbs and very importantly meditating will put you faster on the road to obtaining perfect health. I believe and has been proven time and time again that to be healthy I must be healthy MIND, BODY, and Spirit. I chose to tell you about spirit first because once spirit is healed everything else will just fall into place. In tomorrow’s blog I will talk about the Second Agreement “ NEVER TAKE ANYTHING PERSONAL”.

I will close now with a wish I make every day and night. “ I wish for love, joy, peace, health, and abundance. What I wish for myself I wish for EVERY MAN, WOMAN and CHILD. And so it is”
I love you so very much! Namaste’

3 questions

As most of you know I have struggled with my health for a very long time. In so much have ended up twice having to use a wheelchair of some sorts. The doctors diagnosed tried to put me in a box and diagnosed me with RSD/CRPS, MS, Severe Sleep Apnea, and finally Severe Mercury and Heavy Metal Poisoning. I have taken quite the Western Medicine Pharmaceutical Journey depending on the doctors in the white coats to return my health to me. I have also taken it upon myself to find out what was wrong and thus started a wonderful journey through Eastern Medicine and Holistic Medicines and Spiritual Healing. Those journies I will speak about later through out my blogging as my only intention I have for writing to you all is to help you through whatever illness you are facing through the sharing of my own experiences.

What I would like to talk about today is Faith. I have read that before Jesus actually healed someone, He asked 3 questions first. Although I can’t recall the questions per batim word perfect. I still can recall the basics of them.

1. Do you believe you can be healed?
2. Do you believe you have the power to heal yourself?
3. What have you learned from this illness?

The first question was pretty easy to answer. Yes I do believe I can be healed. The second question was a little more harder to answer. “What? I have the power to heal myself? “Really?” OK I’ll definitely have to research that one! Than the third question. What have I learned from this illness? “Are you kidding me?” Is there really something I can learn from this illness?

I pondered on these questions for quite some time.
Than I heard a voice, “Deb, you have been told with the faith as little as a mustard seed, You can MOVE mountains! Healing yourself, or at least getting beyond this point of being a victim with this Dis-ease, is with in your reach. You just have to reach out for it, or actually in the answers are all inside you! Let’s start by loving yourself first!”

“Great!” was my answer. “ How can I love myself? I have done some pretty terrible things to people. Cheated, lied, Stoled, and the list goes on….”

“Well how about starting by forgiving yourself and others, it will open your heart. You can start by looking in the mirror into your own eyes and forgive yourself, and tell yourself that you love you.”

That became a daily practice in my life after that and it worked. I fell in love with myself. But not only that. I fell in love with everyone and everything.

The next step was having the power to heal myself. Did you know that the choices of food, beverages, that your body needs to fuel itself are YOUR CHOICE? I’ll be blogging more in the future about what foods and beverages work for me. Right now I just want to make the point clear that it is YOUR CHOICE. If you fill your body with junk, well guess what? Your body will eventually shut down because you are putting Leaded gas into a fuel tank mark Unleaded. With the internet and all of the information at our fingertips, googling etc. we have a plethora of information on how to heal ourselves.

Finally question #3. What have I learned from this illness? At first that as a tough question to answer but now the answers stand out.
I have learned several things. Aside of what faith is, how to heal myself, but thirdly which I believe is the biggest lesson of all. I Debra Lea Aughenbaugh have learned compassion and what unconditional love truly is. I know what pain is and I know what those around me are going through. My heart goes out with sooooo much love to each and everyone of you. I can literally feel the pain you are suffering and through empathy I want to help you. Through this blog I hope to do that. It is my intention to shower you with loving information on how you too can become healthy through sharing my experiences with you. I am on the path of healing and clearing myself of dis-ease and my friend I want to share it with you.

The first step is LOVE! Happy stepping!

I love you so very much! Namaste’
