He's stepping off the precipice and into the void -- or into the jaws of a crocodile in some decks. Yikes! The Fool represents new creative beginnings and unlimited choice. My circumstances have changed -- I have changed -- in the last 400 or so days since I posted last, and I want to choose wisely. Here's how I'll recognize when I'm making wise choices: when the choices I make have you feeling empowered and present to love. ...http://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2011/04/01/rebirthday-party.aspx#Comments20d84665-6bd3-4a0e-8f50-352d7b2f5959Fri, 01 Apr 2011 22:01:00 GMThttp://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2010/02/13/use-it-and-lose-it.aspx?ref=rssAngelaOne of my favorite rituals of the holidays growing up was when my mom would carefully bring her beautiful Noritake Empire china out of hiding. Only on Christmas and Thanksgiving, of course -- we were not allowed to even touch it at any other time of year. I loved those dishes, and they took on almost a mystical significance in my head. My mom told me that they were intended to be passed down from mother to daughter forever, until the end of time, and for any piece to be damaged would mean irretrievable loss, grief, and ...http://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2010/02/13/use-it-and-lose-it.aspx#Comments71068687-10f7-4c4b-ba8e-e602d74dad49Sat, 13 Feb 2010 18:15:00 GMThttp://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2010/01/08/twenty-zen.aspx?ref=rssAngelaNew year, new decade, new era of my life, and entirely new opportunities for feeling good on purpose are opening up. "Opening Up" -- that is the theme I am declaring for myself in this new era. Opening up in the sense that a flower opens itself up, easily and effortlessly, to receive warmth from the sun, nourishment from the rain, and support and enrichment from the earth. And also, with the same ease, allowing myself to be experienced by the world. In 2009 I thought some stressful thoughts about giving and ...http://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2010/01/08/twenty-zen.aspx#Comments1166ee5b-d62d-4ba7-860c-9b9c909f34dcFri, 08 Jan 2010 17:00:00 GMThttp://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2009/11/16/levels-of-change.aspx?ref=rssAngelaDo you want to make positive changes in your life a little at a time, or do you want to make big changes fast? Many people put their toe in the water of personal change by effecting change at the level of environment: move to a new town, change jobs, find a different girl/boyfriend, hang out in different bars, avoid "negative" people and only hang out with "positive" ones. Significant change is not available at the level of environment because, well, you know the old saying: Wherever you go, there you are.

These stories may be true, and they may be not true, and the truth for you about abundance is what you believe is true. That's so about everything. If you believe it, that's how your world occurs for you, positive or negative, regardless of any "real world" truth that other people believe.

Try hakalau, borrowed from the ancient Hawaiian system of spiritual shamanism that is modernly called Huna. Normal outward awareness has a relatively narrow range -- you pay attention to what's in front of you, more or less. In hakalau, your awareness spreads out and you become keenly receptive to the current moment. You are consciously aware of what's going on all around you -- not only in front of you, but peripherally and even behind you, and also to movement that is lower and higher than you're normally aware ...http://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2009/09/05/expanded-awareness-in-one-minute.aspx#Commentsce5c1622-ed23-47f0-afcc-b53f39355c29Sat, 05 Sep 2009 18:11:00 GMThttp://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2009/08/17/born-free.aspx?ref=rssAngelaEntering the world feeling welcomed, loved, alert, confident, enthusiastic, and comfortable. What kind of world will this be when that's the norm instead of the rare exception? I spent a magical morning yesterday with Anna Verwaal, a woman who is committed to transforming the experience of giving birth and being born. Anna helps parents prepare for a wonderful experience for the entire family even before the conception of their child, helping them to release old, outdated unconscious negative patterns that are passed down through generations, so that the new child can start fresh and baggage-free. ...http://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2009/08/17/born-free.aspx#Comments0c67a401-2468-407d-8ca4-ab7d9b46f5ffMon, 17 Aug 2009 16:05:00 GMThttp://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2009/08/02/love-yourself.aspx?ref=rssAngelaQuestion: I keep hearing about how essential it is to love yourself, and how you have to love yourself before you can really love another person. Why is that? And how do I go about loving myself, if I just don't? Why should I love things about myself that I want to change? Angela: I've been asked these questions surprisingly often! I don't think it's essential to love yourself -- lots of people go their whole lives not only not loving themselves, but not even liking themselves, and they ...http://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2009/08/02/love-yourself.aspx#Commentsac6970cc-241f-40d7-a5f7-88c989d04002Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:17:00 GMThttp://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2009/08/10/summer-special--free-mind-massage.aspx?ref=rssAngelaSummer is a fabulous time to make a positive difference in your life, and right now there's a lovely extra bonus available: For every two hours of hypnosis, TIME Techniques, or coaching you book with me before Labor Day, you'll receive an hour of free hypnotic Mind Massage, a deeply relaxing session of relieving mental stress, getting your own positive desires and results programmed into your head at an unconscious level, and having a relaxing, refreshing, and exhilarating mini-vacation.

Maybe even before they left. By midday, that "missing" feeling didn't feel so sweet -- I felt lonesome. I *just happened* to pick up an interview with John Bandler in which he said that you don't have an inner resource if you're not using it. Good timing on the reminder, John, since I have all these tools at my disposal that I use with other people ...http://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2009/08/02/a-new-spin-on-you.aspx#Comments98e3970b-2dbf-4540-9fcc-88bfece2e6d9Tue, 04 Aug 2009 16:00:00 GMThttp://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2009/08/02/anchors.aspx?ref=rssAngelaYou know that song that triggers memories or strong feelings every time you hear it? How about that certain look on that certain someone's face, that when you see it, you instantly feel a particular feeling, every time? You're going along in life and certain sights, sounds, touches, smells, and tastes are like hot buttons for you, and the moment you sense them you are flooded with a particular memory, feeling or emotion. Just like Pavlov's dogs, who would salivate when they heard that ringing sound.

How do you "just lighten up"? It sounds a bit like "Just lose 20 pounds!" or "Just make a million dollars, already!", doesn't it? Well, okay, you know you need to eat less and exercise more, or to provide more value or make wiser investments, but *knowing* that, and being ...http://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2009/07/28/autosaved-95915-am.aspx#Comments0270a795-70bd-41b3-b022-b1fa67b791fdTue, 28 Jul 2009 16:59:15 GMThttp://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2009/07/28/lighten-up--heres-how.aspx?ref=rssAngelaIf you want to feel good, where's the best place to start? I've had some opinions about where the first focus should be -- taking 100% responsibility, physical health, other people.... and it's true, they're all great approaches. And as helpful as those all are, what I've found is that the best first step of all is to just lighten up! Lightening up is not the same as bucking up, by the way. Have you ever been feeling kind of low, and someone gives you some form of "buck up!" advice? "Don't feel ...http://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2009/07/28/lighten-up--heres-how.aspx#Comments48bd51ec-62ba-4af5-99bd-89b048e66951Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:54:00 GMThttp://blog.feelgoodonpurpose.com/2009/07/21/hearts-desires.aspx?ref=rssAngelaThe thing that inspires me most is to feel really good, and to support you in feeling wonderful, too. And so here I am, opening hailing frequencies with you with the intention of sharing my experience of feeling good on purpose, and asking you to please share yours. Being connected with you is my favorite flavor of feeling good -- it’s my heart’s desire. I’m not just talking about hedonism or relief from pain, although I love those, too, and will be posting about them in days to come.
