Therefore they return to us over and over, so that we can remove the load which we have placed upon them, which should not be there. A loaded thought puts things out of balance with us. It creates a resistance which our body does not want, and because everything within our being strives for balance, it keeps returning to be addressed. This is why we should not fight negative or fearful thoughts, because we need to heal them, de-potentiate them and restore them to their correct status. So we remove their power by noticing them when they arise and allowing them to pass through our mind, like clouds in the sky, whilst we remain in peace, totally unmoved and unaffected by their presence. We don't engage with the content of the thought, we just simply observe its presence. This simple process of non-reactivity de-potentiates any loaded thought, so that it no longer has any charge, any power, any significance, or influence upon us, upon the emotional and physical state of our body.

It will not harm you, even though it is the most immense power in existence. In fact, it wants to flow through you, it wants to light up the circuitry of your body, fill you with the fire of bliss and ecstasy. How could you feel anything less than bliss and ecstasy when divine goodness is flowing through your bones, transforming all fear and negativity? And after this inner purification occurs all that remains is pure goodness, which fully occupies your body, your heart and your mind. All we have to do is let go of negativity, tension and fear, and like a fist that relaxes and becomes open to receive a gift, we relax every fibre of our being (especially our heart) so that we can simply receive the gift of divine goodness and beauty.

• http://AlexanderBell.org • So many things de-tune us from our natural connection to life's positive vibration, which is a loving, peaceful and subtly joyful one. When we are in balance, open and relaxed, we feel it. We feel positive, we feel harmonious. This is also the effect of spending time in nature. It balances us and restores a sense of well-being, a feeling of positivity. Yet there are many subtle influences in our lives that divert us from this, that take us into subtle disharmony, tension, anxiety and stress.

Stimulants and addictive substances such as coffee, alcohol, tobacco, sugar and chocolate all subtly alter our body/brain chemistry and detune us from the more peaceful vibration of our heart, of nature. Nature's vibration is a slower vibration, a slower rhythm, which does not rush, yet it does not stagnate. It is a consistent, steady yet powerful flow of energy, deeply enriching and creative. Embodying and attuning to this energy is what makes our body truly strong and truly healthy.

If we withhold our love from others, it can feel good because we feel we are giving them what they deserve and teaching them a lesson. This gives us a satisfying sense of justice and righteousness. But in truth this is a very unintelligent and self-defeating thing to do. Do we really think we can punish someone and it not affect us? It is our pain that wishes to punish others through anger and if we continue to do this, we simply keep our pain alive; we feed it. The way to heal the inner pain which lies beneath the anger is to forgive. There is no alternative. We have to want to let go of the anger, so that forgiveness can occur.

It is the energy we originally invested into the fearful thought, when we first believed in it. The energy is not fear, but it became fear as we poured it into a concept, an idea of something that we did not want to happen.

That is what fears are. They are thoughts of things that we don't want to happen. And because we don't want them, we resist them in a very real and physical way. Our body tenses up when that thought is present. Our heart tightens. Chemicals are released into our blood stream. All of this happens because we are resisting an imaginary scenario in our mind, which the body treats as real. It is the resistance which is the sole cause of all our discomfort, distress and physical fear.

For this reason, the end of resistance is the birth of freedom, because resistance is the only problem we have. If we stopped resisting fearful thoughts, we would realise that they cannot threaten us, and that in fact they have something that we need; the energy we originally invested into them; part of our life force, part of our power.

• www.AlexanderBell.org • Fearful thoughts cannot harm us. It is only through resistance to fear that we suffer, because resistance is conflict. Stop fighting, stop resisting and let the tension be replaced by relaxation, by a feeling of trust and safety. Because the truth is that you are safe and you are protected. When you decide to stop engaging with or fighting against anxious thoughts, and instead focus upon relaxing your body and allowing your heart to relax also, you will see this beautiful truth clearly for yourself....

• www.AlexanderBell.org • It is essential that you learn to move beyond the superficial mental realm of ideas and thoughts, because there is a beautiful depth to life that you will only perceive when you do so. It is the true depth of reality, and it is where divine beauty is found. Thoughts cannot give us the depth we need. It is like a magnificent whale living only on the surface of the ocean. It does not belong there. It must swim in the depths to be truly fulfilled, to experience it's deepest joy, and to feel its deeper purpose.

• www.AlexanderBell.org • If you want to reduce the amount of cruelty on this planet – and most people do – then you must address and diminish any tendencies for intolerance, coldness and unkindness that exhibit themselves within you. This may be in the form of unkind words, mean, critical and judgmental thoughts, intolerant or impatient behaviour and so on. If we want society to improve, we have to model the improvement for others. We have to be part of the solution, we have to embody the solution, through the way we feel, act, speak and think about others. Yes indeed, we have a lot of work to do!

8 mins of excellent music for shaking the body. Relaxing the body and shaking it (vigorously) does many wonderful things for you. It releases negativity, it releases stress, and it releases any fear that is trapped as tension in your muscles. When these heavy energies are released, you are flooded with positive energy, joy and a sense of celebration!

Generally speaking, your arms and your face store aggression, your legs, knees, stomach & heart store fear, your lungs store sadness and grief and your shoulders and back store guilt and burden. How do you let go of all of this? You literally shake it all off, and release the contraction (tension/fear) held in those places. Shake your body regularly, and negativity cannot accumulate in it, because your are holding no tensions.

"The truth is that you are totally protected, loved and guided by a force which you cannot mentally understand, but which you can become totally familiar with by accessing the peace within your heart. As we become more familiar with the heart's realm, leaving behind all the mental doubts, fears and insecurities, we realise that we are living in the perpetual embrace of this greater loving intelligence, and that literally no harm can come to us if we fully trust it and stop trying to control and manipulate the outside world, the people we encounter and the events of our life". www.AlexanderBell.org
