Does the nursery rhyme,”Pop Goes The Weasel”, have an inspirational message?

Liz Gracia — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 16:02:15 +0000

Round and round the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey stopped to pull up his socks
And Pop goes the weasel

During morning meditation when asking Spirit for guidance, this rhyme popped (no pun intended) into my head. In my altered state, I felt like saying “Really God, this is all you’ve got for me… a nursery rhyme” Instead I decided to look at the deeper meaning behind this guidance. So….here is the inspirational message.

My interpretation is that we all have things in life that we are chasing or manifesting or intending. At times, we may feel like the monkey which goes around and around the mulberry bush tirelessly. He stays the course for a while tracking and waiting for his move. However, instead of remaining focused, the monkey gets distracted and notices his socks have fallen. At that moment, he gives attention to his socks, and what happens, “Pop goes the weasel!”

We can look at this rhyme almost as a parable definitely as an inspirational message. Think about what it is that you are manifesting or intending. If your manifestation is not created instantly, don’t get distracted. Keep going around that mulberry bush. Visualize that “weasel” and how you will feel when it is yours. If your patience wears thin and you decide to “pull up your socks”, you just might miss out on seeing your dream manifest. Hold on, keep going, the prize awaits you. God is asking for your patience. Listen, even if it seems like a silly nursery rhyme.

Mother Mary Comes to Me….Let It Be, Let It Be…

Liz Gracia — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 18:28:22 +0000

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
The Beatles

Inspirational messages are all around us and a few weeks ago they came to me through The Beatles’ song “Let It Be”. It happened as I drove down to be with my family because my mother was hospitalized. Distraught, saddened, and wanting to change the circumstances for everyone, I began to pray fervently. My plea was for peace and love for my mother and father.

When my amen was uttered, the very next song on my radio was Xavier Rudd’s version of “Let It Be” by The Beatles. I listened to those profound words of “Mother Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom, let it be”, and I knew that Mother Mary was answering my prayer right then and there. So for the remainder of the time that my family was in crisis, I repeated those wise words over and over. I sent my family love and peace and released the need to fix the situation. I allowed the inspirational messages of “let it be” to reverberate through my head. The result? Peace for myself and a knowing that I wasn’t alone in one of my darkest moments.

Today allow inspirational messages to come to you because I wholeheartedly believe they will. If you’re in a dark moment, allow the words from The Beatles to bring you peace…”Let it be.” We cannot control or change another, so allow the power of letting it be to bring you comfort. I’m sending each one of you love and peace and may God’s inspirational messages surround you today and always.

Inspirational Messages Created Through the Help of Mark Twain Quotes

Liz Gracia — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 18:06:30 +0000

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.-Mark Twain

So, I do appreciate Mark Twain quotes on life , but I would make some modifications on this particular one. The term “Small people” suggests superiority over another. I choose to perceive others in a state of appreciation and remember that we are all at a different place in our conscious awareness. I would loosely define “small people” as those that do not appreciate or comprehend our own level of perspective and awareness. They are not there yet and have a limited point of view….at this moment.

I love the analogy from “Conversations with God” books which emphasizes if you can appreciate that all of life is going through school on one level or another (and age has nothing to do with it) then you would not call someone “small” if you realized that they were still in nursery school on a subject while you were in high school on the same subject. You would simply appreciate and understand their perspective and allow them their way. You would also accept that there are things in your own life that you have yet to understand. You are still in the beginning stages of school yourself.

We all know who the “small people” are in our lives. Sometimes it is best to keep ambitions to yourself or share them only with those that support you. Vibrationally, those that support you are in alignment with your greatest potential and assist you in maintaining your alignment.

“Small people” don’t help you and send your alignment “vibrationally” in the opposite direction. Don’t give negative attention to those in your life that you would consider “small”.

This blog is an invitation to only offer compassion and kindness and allow them to “be right”. This way of being is much more in alignment with who you really are and who you want to be. …again.

A Natural Fit?: Spirituality and A Handmade Felt Purse

Liz Gracia — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 20:24:44 +0000

I bet you’re all wondering if I have lost my mind. In what way can spirituality and a handmade felt purse go together? In my opinion, spirituality is much like a beautiful handmade felt purse. First, spirituality is carefully and meticulously crafted by people to fit their personal needs much like a handmade purse is created thoughtfully and attentively in order to hold personal items. Secondly, people’s spirituality is often a private experience held closely with the Creator. A purse is rarely opened for all to see and is confidentially guarded.

You didn’t think I could make the comparisons, did you? Well, I still have more to share.

Thirdly, spirituality and a handmade purse are connected because each is unique. Whether you are praying, meditating, attending church, or participating in a sweat lodge, no one’s path to God is the same. It is a unique experience. When a felt purse is made, it has it’s unique qualities as well…maybe a tassel here or a zipper there, maybe a nub of yarn protruding on the side or a color variation in the design. Finally, a spiritual journey is a container for the essentials of soul and spirit. It holds hopes, dreams, desires, and faith. A handmade felt purse is a container for the essentials of being a women. It holds….well you get the idea.

Next time you see a handmade felt purse ,remember it’s connection to spirituality. To what ordinary object can you compare your spiritual path? Maybe a favorite tin box or a fishing pole. Who knows? I’m sure the ideas are endless!

Take a moment and see Liz with a handmade felt purse in our version of QVC…Seeds of Intentions Internet Cafe.

Think It, Become It.

Liz Gracia — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 17:20:46 +0000

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.
Buddha

The Law of Attraction is suggesting the very same thing. No matter what it is that you think about, positive or negative, you are creating those thoughts into an experience in your life. So, pay attention to where you are spending your time. What are you consistently thinking about? How are you consistently feeling while you are thinking these thoughts?
Did you know that you are emitting a vibration while you are thinking and feeling these thoughts? So what are they? If you are in a state of negative emotion and negative thought patterns, you are negatively creating the experience of your life.
If you are predominantly oriented in thinking about life in a positive direction, you are creating positive experiences for your life. If you take the time to see what it is your life has been, many of us will see that we are a mixed bag of the two, so our experiences are mixed
Therefore, if you don’t like what you’ve created, take responsibility for your life. Take responsibility for your thoughts. Take responsibility for your feelings….and turn them around! Become the deliberate creator of your own life! When you come to the realization that you get everything that you get because you have “asked” for it “vibrationally”, you become the powerful creator of your own life experience now.

“Plant Yours Today”

Les Brown Quotes, “Accept responsibility for your life…”

Liz Gracia — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:42:22 +0000

Todays Seeds of Intentions Blog is about Les Brown Quotes, “Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.”

I have come into the experience of knowing this to be true. I also realize that there are steps between doubt and knowing the truth about this and anything.

Here are my feelings about the steps to knowing…..
• first there is fear about being responsible for your life,
• then there is doubt that you can be responsible,
• next there is hope that you are responsible for your life,
• then trust comes about,
• now there is belief that this is so,
• finally you come into knowing that you are responsible for your own life. This is where true freedom exists, and you realize you are the creator of your own life experiences and can now do something about it.
Each step is vibrationally different and is an experience unto itself. Allow yourself to be where you are on any subject. My feeling is, “what’s the hurry”? We are here throughout eternity. Enjoy the process. Enjoy the contrast as contrast is the spice of life. Each step is simply the “launching point” to the next level of knowing.

You can “feel” your way into the knowingness and the acceptance that you are responsible for your own life experiences. You are the sole (soul) creator of your own life.

We received a call today from someone wanting to share her intention and prayer for Eric. So, we are more than happy to post it here.

The caller’s prayer is that Eric will remain working at his job.

We, at Seeds of Intentions, understand the power of the Law of Attraction ,and therefore would also like to say a prayer for Eric and the woman that called today. We know that focusing on what you do want is what brings about positive manifestation. We also realize that there are many people out there concerned about economic stability.

So…our prayer is that Eric and the caller experience financial stability and well being. May their thoughts be focused on appreciation for the job they have, appreciation for the skills and expertise that they bring to the job, and appreciation for one another.

What we focus on expands? Focus on what makes you feel good.

If you’d like to leave a comment, prayer or thought for the caller or Eric, please feel free to do that on our blog.
