If you live in the moment with fear, ‘What if this doesn’t work? What if that happens?’, your fear contracts your energy field.

From my journal:

By Debra Basham, on May 13, 2021 The definition of complaining is the expression of dissatisfaction or annoyance about something.
A popular phrase is to speak of an undesired state (for example, complaining) as your eating rat poison expecting the rat to die. It is not always obvious, but our emotional state has myriad influences on US.

By Debra Basham, on January 25, 2021 This post might be considered “The High Road Part 2.”
I learned to think of re-spect as the willing to look again and again.
I am not attending an eight-day workshop Healing and the Everhealed with Barbara Brodsky (January 23-30). It was very odd to not be guided to attend, especially given that my […]
