The Dance Steps of Life . . .

The Dance Steps of Life . . .

There is a dance going on in our lives. As the dance steps reveal themselves, life becomes more like a flow, a flow of enlightenment from the Lord.

 When a challenge presents itself to you, there are certain steps you can follow so that the nuggets of knowledge can be unfolded to you.

The steps go like this:

1.     Father, I surrender my will to thee.

2.   Go into gratitude, ( I thank thee for this difficult experience along with the pain I am feeling. This really hurts.)

3.     I ask for Light and knowledge, what would ye have me do?

4.     I Listen to the Still, Small, Voice . . .

5.     . . . and follow the insights that come.

 For example: One day, just seven years ago, a customer came into my line and asked to buy a pack of cigarettes. The guy looked underage, so I felt an inner alert. I picked up the pack, rung it in when the register prompted for his birth date. I had forgotten my glasses that day so I squinted as I viewed the small numbers and thought I had read it correctly.  After typing in the date, the pack was sold and he went on his way.

A few minutes later, one of my supervisors asked me to come into the managers’ office. Guess what? The customer was part of a police sting!

He was under age and I was questioned as to what happened. I honestly expressed that I had made a mistake. In self-defense I explained that I did not have my glasses and apparently I mis-read his information. Even though I had passed these stings two times before, this mistake was going to cost me.

 The next day, I was invited into the office with two managers and was informed that I was being dismissed – let go! I was stunned and in disbelief.

What was I going to do? I picked up my belongings and departed broken hearted and feeling over whelmed.

I had been with the company for just over five years and so was vested, meaning I would be able to keep the 401K from the company. I was already going on a paid vacation to a family reunion to Bozeman, Montana, and was able to follow through with it.  

 I knew not to become upset at my Heavenly Father over this. I chose to go into the following dance Steps of Life to open a pathway for me to see.

The steps go like this:

1.     Father, I surrender my will to thee.

2.     I thank thee for this difficult experience along with the pain I am feeling. This really hurts.

3.     I ask for Light and knowledge, what would ye have me do?

4.     I Listened to the Still, Small, Voice . . .

5.     . . . and followed the insights that come.

I repeated steps one, two and three then listened and did as directed.

I heard that I needed to return to college and finish my bachelor’s degree in education. So I began to research what to do in order to take this new path. Then I went and enjoyed the trip up to Bozeman for the family reunion.

30 min after I returned from my vacation, the phone rang. I answered and heard the voice of my store Manager. He simply said: “Carolyn, the store policy connected to your situation has been over turned. I wonder if you would be open to returning to us for employment.”

I was happy about the turnaround; in fact my case was pivotal in overturning unfair employee policies. I told him that I would need to pray about the offer due to hearing guidance to go into a new direction in my life. I said that I would be getting back with him soon and give him a definite answer.

Oh my! What was I to do? I studied out the ideas and knelt in prayer. I felt the pain and asked with deep intent, through my faith in Jesus Christ what to do.

The clear soft answers came.

 I heard that I had passed this test!

 This was a test?

“Yes, you did not murmur nor complain.  You surrendered your will to me and went into gratitude for the experience. Call your manager and share that you will be returning. You do not need to go back to college.”

“Yes. Thank you my dear Heavenly Father for all.”

Before this experience, I had had many opportunities to surrender to the Lord’s will. But this test stripped another layer of resistance and I was able to let go of my will vs. thy will faster.

Within every personal trial there is a choice to make. How will we respond?  These are the dance steps I have learned, dance steps that bring me answers and peace. What will you chose when the next test comes around in your life?

How your thoughts transform into chemicals!

How your thoughts transform into chemicals!

   

       Are you aware of the power and control YOU have over your brain? Most people are not aware, believing that symptoms, emotions and chemicals happen to them. I was in the same boat many years ago and set out on a journey to better understand the mind.

  

The first book I ever wrote is “My Life Is A JOY To Me” www.faithunpuzzled.com. I want you to know, that the book is really saying . . . I am going to be happy if it kills me.   Along with the book is a talk presentation, “How To Turn Life’s Negatives to Positives.”

The inspiration for the book came from my own emotionally challenging situation - a situation that felt like a daily uphill climb. I wanted to marry and have my own darlings, yet my JOY in this realm, I had created, had escaped me.

Reflecting over the many years, that have flown by, I have learned to call upon the Lord to lift me up.  This path started with asking questions and receiving answers, the ‘inspirations’ guided me forward day by day.  God’s hand directed me to take classes that changed my life.

Within one class, I came to realize that I was ‘thinking’ more negative thoughts than positive thoughts.

 Hmm – the awakenings revealed that thoughts are electrical energy. That energy then directs our human brain to create chemicals, or Molecules of Emotion.

Simply stated, positive thoughts direct the brain to create endorphins which help in triggering happy feelings.

Negative thoughts trigger our brain or chemical factory to create depressants.

As I learned about the positive and negative thought connection, I chose to think and speak more positives than negatives. That simple effort of changing my self-talk had a Joyful result. I simply ‘felt’ happier. Wow!

When my husband had cancer, I placed affirmations on the fridge door and recited them each time I got snacks for our five children, ages 10 yrs t0 2. The affirmations were:

1.       

•              I am Happy.
•             This is a Happy day

I began to notice moments of peace each day. My life began to be more Joyful, day by day.

I found this quote today from President Thomas S. Monson

“So much in life depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference. To do the best we can and then to choose to be happy about our circumstances, whatever they may be, can bring peace and contentment.”

I wonder, what thoughts can you catch and change from a negative to a positive. Will you have similar results? Who will embrace this sweet challenge? Who? When? Wow!

P.S.    I invite you to capture your new results and send emails to share. My email is carolynpr@gmail.com    

"SWEARING!" Why do cuss words pop into my head?

                           LET US BECOME A THOT COP

     Have you ever wondered – “Why do cuss words just POP into my head?” 

 Have you realized  that every cuss word makes fun of body parts, body functions, and how babies are brought into the world?

 At each moment, could you use a THOT COP to help you out?

 Well, what is a THOT COP?

You are the one who can become your own THOT COP. Just create your own internal - mental filtering system.

Here is one way to filter and delete an unwanted THOT.

 First ask yourself “Will this THOT improve the quality of my life? If NO...... then mentally say, “I delete that THOT, and practice this THOT COP exercise ......until it works for you.

Would you be willing to view your THOTS as 'E-MAIL?'

E-mail?

 THOT's are like Email (or Energy mail) that arrives as if you are a live, walking computer! A THOT arrives....... you wonder why it's there?
You filter the THOT judging if it is either positive or negative. 

There are only two types of THOT. Positive or Negative. If the THOT is positive, keep it and allow it to enhance your character. In this day and age we need more people who are honest and self-reliant........ building a country of moral integrity.

But, if the THOT is negative, full of doubt, harshness or filth, just take charge and mentally say; "I choose to delete that THOT."

Imagine as you receive e-mails into your e-mail account, that you are sent one that says
"Nude picture - open!"

Did you create that e-mail or was it sent to YOU? This happened to me years ago.
I THOT, No - - - then clicked the DELETE button and it was gone.

We can do the same thing within our brain. This can be part of our  THOT COP filtering system.

Compare the parallel worlds. I believe that there are two Internet-like servers in our universe. One server sends out E-vil spam and the other only sends after you have chosen to ask for a subscription.
 

I invite you to use your internal THOT COP, to increase happiness and self-respect.
In doing so you will increase the communication coming to you from the right server (God).

May your life increase in JOY,

Carolyn Pearce Ringger

 

My Life is a Joy to Me!

"My Life is a Joy to me"

Author Carolyn Ringger

The Secret to life is understanding that it never will be perfect!

The expectation that it should be is what causes much of our suffering and unhappiness in this world.

We may not be able to change some of our circumstances or surroundings, but we can change our perception and reaction.

How do we do that?

How can we view our lives as joyful, when the world constantly screams the opposite?

In Carolyn's Book and CD alpha relaxation programming series, we find a beautiful mixture of understanding both the physical and spiritual side of our mind and ourselves.

"The Battle for the Minds of Men" is underway!

Just as we focus on eating healthy and cleansing our bodies from impurity, so must we too focus on cleansing or erasing toxic, harmful thoughts and beliefs from our minds.

Carolyn Ringger writes " We are all MENTAL GARDENERS...we become what we think!"

More than just a book, the CD series focuses on Alpha wave guided meditations. These relaxation sessions help you relax and absorb positive affirmations which help erase negative patterns.

Each CD in the 15 series is designed to be listened to for 21 days each.

Reaching Toward Heaven explained

A REVIEW OF "REACHING TOWARD HEAVEN"

By Tara Wood

                   We Live in a world overwhelmed by every kind of theories, belief systems and information overloading our senses.

Much of the suffering, confusion and pain is based on man relying on himself or others for answers.

We have forgotten to "reach toward Heaven" and ask our maker or Heavenly Father for the wisdom we lack.

Many of us that do remember to look heavenward are confused, or are only scratching at the surface of what is possible.

I was inspired and touched when I read "Reaching Toward Heaven", by Carolyn Pearce Ringger.

Important concepts and true principles backed up by scripture is simply explained for us.

The clarity I received helped to free me even further to feel the love the Lord has for me.

Carolyn writes " The Lord cares for his children as much today as he ever has, and only their doubts and fears stay his hand."

We are grateful for her life long study and work in this area of faith.

Well worth the read for everyone seeking simplicity, clarity, and peace in this days.
