The “Inspiring Thoughts” puts into written form the thoughts, questions and solutions that come from the constant flow of universal energy. This is a monthly format that is intuitively inspired and becomes an experience that reaches deep into your spirit to awaken you to your own truth. You will feel validated, peaceful and hope-filled. The energy of the universe is in constant movement. This movement is the result of the ebb and flow of the emotional response from each individual’s experiences. There are patterns that are developed from this energy. It is consciously felt by many people, often with much confusion. The questions come, with intensity, about the source of what you are feeling and why. It is especially difficult when you realize that issues you felt you had previously resolved are back. Join the thousands that have already enjoyed it, shared it and have even placed it on their desktop for emotional support on those difficult days. http://avanamethod.com/id20.html Copyright 2009, Avana Method, Inc. http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss en-us Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:15:10 -0400 chris@avanamethod.com Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:14:43 -0400 chris@avanamethod.com FeedForAll Mac v2.1 (2.1.0.1); http://www.FeedForAll.com/ http://avanamethod.com/podcasts/am_podcast.jpg http://avanamethod.com/id20.html Avana Method Inspiring Thoughts 144 144 This is the season that reminds us of the circle of life and the infinity of existence. It is a time to remember and to celebrate the miracles, joy and new beginnings that are hidden inside the most difficult times. Passover is one of those memories... http://www.avanamethod.com/id20.html 98D6D87F-87E3-4963-A081-D066A5FD9446-14086-0000BB2F6D6895C1-FFA Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:15:07 -0400 The Chinese New Year has begun. They say it is the year of the Water Dragon and a very powerful, pivotal year. As I reflected upon what it may mean for me and for everyone individually and ultimately collectively, I heard softly to pay attention to the concept of intentions... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_02_12.html 68E45997-F434-476D-8F67-7E350C9409F0-3962-0000280AAE1FFCB5-FFA Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:14:24 -0400 The year of 2012 has arrived and it is bringing with it the greatest possibilities for lasting peace. It has been said that this year will end with the end of the world. We certainly have seen a lot of evidence that the changes across the world might support that fear. However, if you choose to look at it on the other side, I believe you may find it means the end... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_01_12.html 31BEA5E0-1669-4866-A8DA-00375D0D19B0-1893-0000138D5EACFACA-FFA Sun, 12 Feb 2012 18:09:01 -0500 So much growth and movement has happened in a short six-month time period since I last wrote. I have seen intense experiences take place in everyone’s lives that have ultimately altered the way their life looks. But the most interesting part is that the internal shifts are even more significant than the external appearance of drastic change. I can liken it to seeing the color... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_11_11.html 2017AFC0-7228-4F2D-A823-82C7015C5789-47483-00034999B4BD7705-FFA Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:36:15 -0500 In celebration of Mother’s Day, I would like to bring forth the intention of celebrating our understanding of unconditional love. We often associate a mother with the concept of love that holds no judgment. There are many that do not have a pristine memory of a mother’s love. Some more than others and some have no understanding of that experience at all. I understand the bittersweet moments... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_05_11.html 2EBB1791-52E2-4716-9892-44550B9AFA4F-9112-0000D46ED287C2B4-FFA Mon, 28 Nov 2011 19:12:21 -0500 Today begins the Chinese New Year of the Rabbit. It is the Yin, Metal Rabbit. Yin is representative of an inward movement; metal can simply mean protection and rabbits signify stillness and then quick action. Rabbits are also associated with creation in great numbers and family. If we pull it all together, this signifies a year of manifesting in great magnitude while... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_01_11.html 0DEFAF56-50CD-40B0-8A8D-21159C6E3F21-22114-00021BFDB8CA68E3-FFA Wed, 18 May 2011 22:18:27 -0400 At the ending of last year, I was honored by a request to assist a soul to pass on with peace and then turned my attention to assist a new life to be born in peace. This is the circle of life and the ultimate vision of endings and beginnings, the beloved closure of a life here on earth to the endless possibilities of a miraculous life of new beginnings.... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_01_11.html F75B3E29-CA8C-471A-A6FA-9A346F0EDA5D-1227-0000074B42FE9A81-FFA Wed, 09 Feb 2011 21:07:19 -0500 This month’s newsletter was bittersweet, but extremely important. We have arrived at a time of the year that may bring the best gift to enlightenment that you have ever experienced. I am feeling an intense shift that is calling us, begging us, to release all pain that we have collected through our lifetime. There is an energy of amazing potential for transformation ... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_11_10.html DF6899FF-E746-4F7C-AE5E-F7DB78A7045E-9040-000131DAE6BF42BE-FFA Tue, 11 Jan 2011 18:59:19 -0500 I awoke this morning rapidly from a rejuvenating sleep. Even though most nights grace me with about 4 to 5 hours of sleep, it seems enough because of the depth of it. It is what it is! The day was filled with one crisis after another as my clients wept over their loneliness, betrayal, fears and the overwhelming thought of how to move through... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_11_10.html 18A4F28F-9ED9-451A-AC04-AE86CB818A1B-412-0000017B950DF4FF-FFA Sun, 12 Dec 2010 20:32:39 -0500 We have come to a time in the universe that Spirit is beginning the journey of merging with our third dimensional, physical being in a way that has never happened before. The ultimate progression of this is to become one with the Spirit of God eternal within every cell of us. That is the sound of Ohm, a sacred tone that is our spiritual center in cycle with the... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_10_10.html 554437FE-0BA9-4F94-8771-427E560075CE-2686-0000E83FB130B902-FFA Thu, 18 Nov 2010 22:36:41 -0500 When I began to write this, it was my intent to describe what people are presently experiencing in their lives, but I decided to bring you more insight as to why it is all happening. I know that many families are finding some of their most difficult patterns repeating themselves. It has been one crisis after another. You are not alone, it is happening to... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_09_10.html 4310E205-2BF7-4894-834F-DD853395F5E7-2180-000013627A5468E9-FFA Sun, 17 Oct 2010 20:32:45 -0400 The earth is slowly awakening simultaneously. It is the time of year in our area that gently nudges the slumber of winter into the rebirth of spring. At the same time, the universe is also spiritually opening its bud into full bloom. There has been a great shift into deeper understanding about all of life. What seemed to be top priority before is now an issue of simple acceptance and the realization that some things don’t really.... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_06_10.html BA50F95F-BF68-4F05-8B0F-BBB5B49523F8-15619-00020ADA7383EA7D-FFA Wed, 01 Sep 2010 19:54:22 -0400 This is a dedication to Mother of the Year, Helena Kleinlein. We would also like to acknowledge her teacher, her daughter! They are a very special family, Mom, Dad, brother and sister and a very special child named Meghan whose life purpose is to tell her story of faith. This is one of the many amazing stories on their journey together in discovering the miracles of life. It will refresh your spirit about hope, trust and the true definition of what matters most.... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_05_10.html 8C9B25F9-AD96-4767-BAB7-A2FBA4C296F1-652-000002B83FC38D2E-FFA Mon, 14 Jun 2010 19:51:26 -0400 Spring is gracing us with its presence of birth and growth. The skies are blue, the sun is bright and setting with more glory, the trees are budding and the birds are arriving in perfect formation. This all testifies to the never ending process of life and the presence of confident purpose. One season brings numerous, unique life cycles along.... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_04_10.html 0CE1FCBF-6DC1-4E6E-BB95-7F53FE6F62DE-5353-0000CC46A088739C-FFA Thu, 13 May 2010 21:49:21 -0400 Past discussion about the Diamond Children and their reflective abilities, leads us back this month to shed more light on the very special exchange that takes place in every relationship. What we feel within those relationships is the mirror reflection of our deepest awareness aboout ourselves. Diamond children’s reflective abilities are a mirror to us to see.... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_03_10.html 41A17BF5-67BF-46A6-98FF-411E8FC3F632-4057-00007802F81AD054-FFA Thu, 08 Apr 2010 22:53:20 -0400 Here we are in the month of mid winter at a time that is meant to warm the heart.

It is my wish that you may accept my extended hand of love bearing the gift of understanding; an understanding of how to recognize, experience and carry the light within you and to reflect it to .... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_12_09.html DFF099E0-4ABE-444E-88A6-811BC32AA010-10848-0000BBB1737BF1BE-FFA Wed, 10 Feb 2010 21:23:47 -0500 The goal of many people is the search for their life purpose. The “truth” that I have been given is that we all have the same life purpose. How amazing! There is a significant importance to understanding this. I have been Divinely given the answer to the question, “what is our life purpose”? The answer is truth. That is the same answer for everyone. The greatest thing that .... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_11_09.html C3C47B1C-A9C4-4093-98C8-A7C7EFE65F37-3828-000035DD1033F1AF-FFA Thu, 07 Jan 2010 14:13:27 -0500 My favorite time of year is here. Northeastern USA has been my primary residence all of my life and what a fantastic place to be in autumn. When you are moving so quickly through life, nature has a way of halting you in your steps as the trees begin to change color. The rich fullness of green slowly turns to the golden reflections of the summer sun with the splash of orange and crimson as the recall of.... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_10_09.html 1A74032F-E0A4-4E2D-BD18-8F798FD73104-8095-0001603AFFCFB1D8-FFA Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:58:06 -0500 Congratulations! You are seeing the glimpses of a new life ahead. You have been through so much inner transformation and it has probably led you into physical transformation as well.  You may have noticed that you are more easily drawn to pray and meditate deeper, eat better and exercise more. You may.... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_09_09.html 8214531F-2CF4-403F-A9A2-2EE7929B1109-586-00000E0DE1F4967A-FFA Wed, 30 Sep 2009 21:50:56 -0400 The sunlight, the nourishing raindrops, the electrifying, clearing lighting, the moments of rest, stillness and appreciation of all the blessings are leading us to more awareness of the secrets of life. Have you been “still” within these natural miracles? Did you intuit answers that you were.... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_08_09.html BE0F23B2-25FA-4F6E-A17E-A480A1E0ECAA-1807-00000A83BE4D9BD5-FFA Tue, 08 Sep 2009 18:57:18 -0400 Become aware…we have entered into the most powerful time of spiritual awakening for thousands of years. The Summer Solstice opened a doorway to unconditional love and the heightened intuition that comes with it. It will be your choice to step through.

Spirit is intuitively imparting to me new insight about this time of year. It is with my hand on my heart that I transcribe what I have been told and I share it with you now. It is about love… http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_06_09.html 2560E317-E652-4DE6-9FE9-7B6DA38AC5F3-1089-0000088857DF8280-FFA Tue, 04 Aug 2009 09:43:21 -0400 Life is moving forward as finally evidenced in the arrival of spring. When you take a deep breath to breathe in the fresh air, make an intention to open yourself up to receive the new information that is being birthed within the soul essence of humanity. Change within is often a difficult thing to accomplish and often its only stimulus is the force of desperation. Most of the population resists..... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_05_09.html A0916A5A-2327-46DB-B7BF-C589A195E71D-593-0000044D22FAEE22-FFA Wed, 03 Jun 2009 23:16:40 -0400 I am filled with endless love and gratitude for life and all of the side roads within it. My life in the last year and a half has offered me deep insight and many opportunities to reach deeper to find the peace within. Sometimes I would lose my focus and feel as if I was falling uncontrollably into hopelessness. It was within these experiences that I eventually found my true strength. Once it was..... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_04_09.html 18FDD12F-EECA-4803-9F6F-434BBCE37F51-631-000007A92762F7E7-FFA Wed, 03 Jun 2009 23:16:35 -0400 It is 2 AM in warm, beautiful Florida while the rest of the country is enduring sub degree, blizzard conditions. Hard to imagine when you are yearning for the AC to kick on. My entire being is dedicated to my 86 year old mother as I sit by her bedside holding her hand as she is answering the calls of my father who passed away 4 months ago..... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_03_09.html 49FE573C-BC8A-4BD4-823A-877ECE04DB0D-631-000007BD88F9C6AA-FFA Wed, 03 Jun 2009 23:16:31 -0400 We are all individual souls, traveling individual journeys of life. Each choice we make affects the collective whole and the individual lives of many. One soul, one life in particular had the most amazing affect on many lives. Each person that was gifted to have their life touched by hers was then able to send that magical touch to many others. ago..... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_02_09.html C65A93D0-64FF-4313-8455-3A7BEBC35302-631-000007C9D708DEB2-FFA Wed, 03 Jun 2009 23:16:28 -0400 This is the question that keeps coming up over and over again in different situations. The most recent one just happened last night and carried over into this morning. I am compelled to share this story with you for your greater understanding of truth. A well known healer in my area, Mary Anne Cotter, has been a personal friend as well as a..... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_01_09.html 2BAA8901-E0BF-4AD2-9D6F-2A86FFF13253-631-000008376F76DCBB-FFA Wed, 03 Jun 2009 23:16:23 -0400 We have arrived at that time of year that inspires us to give thanks. It is a time of families, friends, planning gifts, surprises and homemade recipes to warm the heart and express our gratitude and love. There are hours of preparation with days of previous planning and usually more food than we can comfortably eat. It seems sad that we need to designate a time to do all of..... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_11_08.html A7C42E4E-6574-4734-AFBA-FEEBDB232827-631-00000847B98D098B-FFA Wed, 03 Jun 2009 23:16:19 -0400 This is a dedication to all the parents that have left lifetime memories as gifts and to their children who tirelessly granted loving care to their aging parents.

There have been many unusual weather patterns lately that have led us to believe that warmer weather was finally here and then suddenly it would turn cold once again. I am thankful that at some of those times, the heavens still allowed the sun to brightly shine with the gift of hope. The outcome.... http://www.avanamethod.com/inspire_archive_05_08.html BA63D031-1F05-4F6D-B6D2-73847E27E0EC-631-000008659997CF7B-FFA Wed, 03 Jun 2009 23:16:10 -0400
