1. UPDATES
* Soulful Sunday on February 13th in Arroyo
Grande, CA.
Our first meeting was a wondering gathering with some excellent
channeling coming through the Band of Angels and Periwinkle (from the
fairie realm). One message given about the tragic tsunami is that it is
an opportunity for the world to come together, and to bridge gaps
between the rich and poor, and increase compassion in the world. Our
February 13th channeling will be on love and relationships. RSVP at
805-489-9315.
* Looking for sponsor for seminar in
Phoenix, AZ area. We will be traveling through this area the week of
March 17th and would like to offer a seminar or talk on Spiritual
Kinesiology, EFT, holistic healing, or channeling. Please call if you

2. HOW
TO HAVE A HAPPIER NEW YEAR: RESOLUTIONS FOR OVERCOMING ONE’S CHIEF
WEAKNESS
Identifying and
eliminating your chief weakness or defense is essential for personal growth and
successful relationships. There are seven chief defenses:
self-deprecations, arrogance, self-destruction, greed, martyrdom,
impatience and stubbornness. We each have all the weaknesses, but have
selected a favorite one as we were growing up.
Children and
teenagers try on these different armors, to stabilize themselves in an
unpredictable world. This chief weakness pervades one’s negative ego,
or false personality. By the time one is an adult, particularly by the
late twenties, the chief weakness no longer serves any useful function
and becomes an obstacle for growth and intimacy.
RESOLUTIONS
Since January is a
great time to start the year off right, we wanted to suggest some
resolutions that can help you in overcoming your own worst enemy, your
chief weakness. You can use this article or the previously referenced
articles to help identify your chief defense.
For Self-Deprecation:
* I remember to
appreciate myself for my strengths and talents, including {make your
specific list}.
*
I allow for my weaknesses and forgive myself for my mistakes.
For
Arrogance:
* I acknowledge and
admit my mistakes, which helps me correct them.
*
I can know when it is good to be vulnerable with others.
For Self-Destruction:
* I have a purpose for
being here.
* I take good care of myself
and my possessions.
For Greed:
* I control my appetite
for [money, food, drink, experience].
* I am one with
spirit and my abundance will follow.
For Martyrdom:
* I and others
appreciate me for what I do and who I am.
* I take responsibility
for myself [can list specific areas].
For Impatience:
* I am learning how to
wait and know there is ample time. I take time to enjoy life.
* I am tolerant of
others who don’t do things the way I want them done.
For Stubbornness:
* I am open to change.
* I can compromise and
work well with others.
OTHER STRATEGIES
Ultimately, the
chief weakness can be greatly minimized and even erased with a certain
amount of self-awareness and spiritual growth. As a person progresses on the spiritual path,
it's essential to identify and rein in the chief defense, which leads to
eliminating this handicap. You accomplish this task by observing how the
chief feature manifests, which involves being aware of distorted
thoughts, limiting beliefs, negative emotions, poor choices, and
disruptive behavior. In other words, merging with your soul's viewpoint
neutralizes the features.
You can also be
compassionate with yourself and choose to heal parts of yourself that
have been wounded and taken on the chief feature’s defenses. Spiritual
Kinesiology, EFT and the Getting Thru Techniques are excellent tools for
bringing oneself back into wholeness and transforming the chief
weaknesses into strengths.
For more information
on chief defenses see our Awaken
to Your Purpose program.
Overcoming your chief
defense is a long-term affair, taken one step at a time. As you put into
action the above resolutions, or your own variations, you will also be
putting more “happy” into your happy new year.
