Tohelp President Obama fulfill his promise to us, we must prepare ourselves to take advantage of the opportunity he is presenting to us.  We must accept change.  Change is scary but there are ways to make it easier.  If we want to make significant change, we begin by changing our thoughts and words.  But our thoughts and words come from our experiences.  We store these experiences in our bodies – energetically as well as physically.

Small changes can be handled easily through control of our thoughts and actions.  We can eat a diet with less carbs and more vitamins by encouraging ourselves with dreams of being slender.  However, the changes we are anticipating now are much deeper and require a combination of thought, action, feelings and energy.

It is this combination of the energies of our spirits, minds, wills and bodies that is necessary to make the kind of change that is facing America today.  To accomplish it, we need to learn to listen.  What we are listening for is resonance.  Resonance is the result of combining the natural rhythms of two or more of the vibrations within us.

Applied Resonance Therapy has evolved over the years into a series of techniques to learn to listen for resonance and when it is missing, to bring it once more into resonance.  Resonance works like an upside down 3-dimensional pyramid.  It begins with treating dissonance in our bodies through relieving our allergies.  We gain clarity thought Mental Pathways.  When our emotions are in resonance with the truth, our will motivates us to make the change we envisioned.  And finally we need to clear out all the remains of past illness.

Applied Resonance Therapy begins with learning how to listen within and awakening our senses.  The following Energy Exercises begin that process.

We pick up stones because something in the stone’s color, shape or texture appeals to us.  When we place the stone in our hands we are bringing ourselves into harmony with the stone.  From that harmony, comes the gift of Silence – truth.  With any stone you pick up, you will learn another truth about yourself.

If you want to improve your listening ability the following Energy Exercises will help.

Hearing:  While walking in a natural area, listen to the sounds around you then focus on one sound only – the call of a bird, a squirrel scurrying through the leaves.  After listening to and for that sound for about 5 minutes, change to another sound.

Seeing:  When walking, stop and gaze upward, downward, right and left; then gaze straight ahead.

Smelling:  Think of a situation and remember what it smelled like.  Begin with situations that gave you pleasure – an April ride in a convertible with the top down so you smelled the lilacs, swimming at the beach.  Then think of an unpleasant situation and the smell associated with that – an argument in a restaurant.  While thinking about the situation, shift the scent of your memory to one of the pleasant scents you remembered first.  This will shift your perception of the situation.

Tasting:  Imagine a taste in your mouth until saliva forms; use smell to help!

Touching:  Again on a walk in nature, let the wind touch your skin.  Notice how it feels – cold, damp, etc.

Feeling:  When you feel fear, note the time of day and why you felt fear – 10:00 AM: fear of the meeting ahead.

Awareness:  Face the fear. 

1. Enter into the Silence and focus on one fear.  Identify its location in your body.
2. Create an energy “lock” by squeezing your forearm below your elbow while saying or thinking the following:  Thinking of a time before I first felt “this fear” (be specific).
3. Create another energy lock by squeezing your forearm above your wrist while saying or thinking the following:  Thinking of a time after I first felt “this fear” (again be specific).
4. Create flow by alternately squeezing the two forearm locks while saying or thinking the following: Thinking of the very first time I ever felt “this fear” (be specific as usual).
5. While you are squeezing the locks, again locate the focus of the fear in your body.  Then expand this feeling of fear until it releases.
6. After the release, brush down your arm several time to remove the locks.
