Father's Archetype: June 18, 2012
Fortunately, we as humans have the opportunity to choose and act as a "father" archetype or not. It's called our free will. This sets us apart from animals...to choose and act upon what we want to be, or to have.
Regardless of your sex, we manifest the Father Archetype in our day- to -day life, hopefully the "Balanced " Father Archetype.
For example some Balanced attributes of this Father Archetype are: self-assertion, survival, activity, resolve, virility, vigor, muscle activity, courage, action, originality, desire, energy, guide, protector,compassion, love, patience etc.
If you are lacking a lot of theseFather Archetype attributes or are "un-balanced" in the Father Archetype, then you may manifest some of the following negative attributes or conditions: aggression, selfishness,restlessness, arrogance, cruelty, impatience, impulsiveness, apathy etc.
So notice if you are out of balance in these conditions and resolve to restore your natural balance for a healthier and happier life. Remember, we all get out of balance, so be kind to yourself.
Our Creator gave us these attributes: positive and negative, ....your choice.
Do you choose the positive or negative? To help or correct your condition, make sure you rest your physical and mental body.
Some ways to do this: observe nature, quiet time, take time for yourself doing something just for you, relaxation, love and forgive yourself and hopefully others for we are all "imperfect humans" learning new lessons every day, etc. Make a list just for you to do daily.
Remember Balance in all things....and moderation and forgiveness!
Sending love and gratitude to all Fathers,

Are You Blooming this Spring? May 2012
I'm having so much fun comparing nature to us 2 legged humans and
learning a lot about myself and others.
For example, my blooming tulips helped me re-remember the process of our evolution in man. As my tulips were beautifully blooming in full fledge brigade, one tulip just wouldn't bloom with "his family or friends". The stalk and green leaves holding him up was strong and seemed robust, but his flower just didn't want to open up...to bloom.
The next day I watched. No bloom. The following day, no bloom. The third day,no bloom.
Finally, I spoke to it. "Mr. Tulip why aren't you blooming? The rest of your group is and they all look so pretty. "
"Don't hover,"to my astonishment replied he.
Oh, hmm? I thought and thought and said to myself, what am I doing wrong?
"Have faith" he replied.
So I took his advice and said out loud: "you know I love you even if you decide not to bloom this season, for I know now that when you are ready and willing, you will bloom and your bloom will be so beautiful it will even brighten the stars!"
The next day...guess what? He bloomed and bloomed and bloomed!! His bloom was bigger than the rest and yes, the stars looked brighter!
Thank you Mr. Tulip. I have learned valuable lessons from this:
We all need love, faith, and patience in each other...and, oh yes, space to Bloom!
Sending blooming love to you all!

P.S. Do you have a blooming story to tell? Love to hear from you.

You Make Me Feel Special April 2012
The other day at work I just finished giving a new, but late, client a facial and she said, "you make me feel special."
I'm saying this now not to brag but for us all to re-remember this great Truth:
We all should feel special. And since our Divine created us, we are special in His eye and have that responsibility to be respectful to others. Our good manners towards all show them they are special and they in turn will pass this on to others...a great cycle!
Then I believe God smiles on us.
I am working on loving my divine self (some call it spark of the Divine) than dwells within... unconditional love, that devotional, faithful love. And when someone opens the door for me, says something kind to me etc., it makes me re-remember that I am special: The Divine created me for a purpose, out of His love for me. This is true for you too!
I know I " feel" that my love ones are special, but do I "show" them they are special? Sometimes I forget, but I need to show them too. Feeling is an emotion, showing is an action. There is a difference.
Today I'm treating my older son to a nice seafood dinner. It's not his birthday, nor father 's day (he is a great father to my 2 grandchildren), but it's time for me to do something special ...just the two of us.
Please pass this cycle on to strangers or love ones. Make their day! A SPECIAL inter- action for you both. Let's continue the cycle.
Then feel the love of God smiling down on you.
You are Special in His eyes..You are His Divine creation. "He makes no mistakes" as the Saints and Enlightened Masters say!
Thank you my Special new client for helping me re-remember.
Sending loving thoughts to you all,

Valentines Day 20012
"The Greatest Love Of All"
By Whitney Houston
When I heard this song sung so beautifully by the late Whitney Houston, the lyrics spoke volumes
to me on this Valentines Day. Here are some of the lyrics:
"The greatest love of all is happening to me! I've found the greatest love of all is inside of me; it's easy to achieve, learn to love yourself is the greatest love of all.
Find your strength in love. Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be. They can't take away the greatest love of all."
I am sure she is with this love now.
Sending love and blessings to Ms Houston!

Comfort Food: February 2012
"Little Agitating Stuff"
I saw something manifest into love, compassion, caring within a second!
Two people cared about each other but were always butting heads.
Each one was jealous of the other and, of course, each one was insecure. I was in the middle of this quite often and nothing I said or did helped their relationship.
But one day when I was talking to one,I mentioned casually that the other person really loved you, wanted to see you more, and really respected you.
Well, that must have turned on the light for her. She immediately called her, wanting to see her, spend more time with her.
I thought about that and re-realized that when you preface love, respect to a person, miracles do transpire within that person. They really did love one another but "little agitating small stuff" was overcoming the big stuff (their great friendship)!
We call this stuff, the lower self or lower mind, always being negative about any thing, cutting yourself down or the other person. Always judging someone, criticizing, gossiping etc. It's the dark side or lower self taking over. This is very destructive to one!
We are powerful souls so when we see ourself acting this negative way, Stop it right then and there! I have to repeat this: Stop it right then and there!
I say "No,this is not me. I will not allow this to transpire within me!" And then,
most importantly,I turn it into love. I send love and forgiveness to me for recognizing this and trying to do better, and then in my thoughts I send love, respect to the other person. I re-remember that I am a God -created Soul and so is she...we are both divine!
We can easily slip into these bad habits but each time it manifests "cut it asunder" to stop it and replace your thought or action with love, compassion, acceptance or forgiveness.
All it is... is practice, practice, practice, and activating your personal will until negative behavior dissipates, gets less, and less. And then you start feeling better about yourself. It is not our divine nature, but bad habits needing to be transformed into non- judgmental, "higher" view points.
Remember: As above.... so below or As below...so above. We all are trying to change ourself to be more loving and each of our personal effort helps change our planet and the universe. One person at a time. One loving thought at a time.
Always sending good thoughts to you filled with the power of love,

This is the MOST IMPORTANT Day of My Life!
I heard this about a week ago in my daily meditation/contemplation and
thought about this. It didn't say "this is the last day of my life" but it said the MOST IMPORTANT day of my life. It didn't even say "this is the best day of my life."
Hmmm...... So when I heard this voice( my spiritual Master) I really think about it because I'm beginning to learn a new lesson.
For me to learn from this as other things that are sent to me, I try to look at it from a 360 degree viewpoint. First, I write this down, "This is the most important day of my life." At first I thought this was the time I was going to die and to get things in order etc. But I realized there was a more important spiritual lesson to learn.
The word" Important "is definitely different from "Last" as in" last" day of my life day so I looked up" important" in the dictionary: " strongly affecting the courses of events or the nature of things, significant, of great significance or value, powerful, influential, crucial, urgent, meaningful" etc.
When I first heard this on a Sunday, I hadn't planned to do much but spend time with "me" to relax with my two doggies. Maybe a great walk with the dogs, read papers but how and why was this by-my -self day the most important day of my life? I was a little more wide-eyed that day, saying this message to myself more often looking for something.....enlightenment, God realization, well okay maybe the third best thing, the great spiritual man coming into my life, on the way walking my dogs. No not too much happened but you know I really enjoyed my day more!
I seemed to look at nature with more regard, gratitude. I really am a tree hugger so for me to appreciate nature more was hard to beat. Then I began to listen to my speaking voice talking to some neighbors. Was I listening to what they were saying more carefully ;was I talking to them in a slower more peaceful voice? Then I began to look at my plants with more tenderness, making sure they were placed in the right place and were moist; and when I patted my two doggies, I actually realized they were wonderful souls that God graciously loaned me to comfort and give me joy daily. My dogs seemed more happy as if they knew something great was coming as they wagged their tales gleefully. Yes, a good dog treat for them that day.
That day REALLY seemed more meaningful. So I continued it the next day, the next day and one day I forgot but started back again. This is my mantra, " this is the most important day of my life." Insightful thoughts were coming to me. I've lived in Boulder for 22 years and for the first time I actually looked at the foothills and mountains hugging my town, protecting me, giving me joyful and healthy hikes with my friends and family.
My days seem to really be better.I even was given an award this week. All I do know is that I am creating good important days for me . I realize what we dwell on DAILY is what we manifest. And I with excitement "anticipated or expected this day" was going to be the Most important day of my life. I also realized when you continually expect good things to happen, you co-create good things to come.
I think I'll put this mantra on my bathroom mirror as a constant reminder for me until it becomes a good habit.
Have good days always,
Beegee Stivers
P.S. Try this for 14 days and see what happens. Please feel free to email me with your progress or thoughts @Beegee@Sensoriellespa.com.Boulder.
