Did you know that 99.9% of those who try to teach us how to create wealth, how to earn money, how to learn their wealth system are not really wealthy? Have you considered why we would want to listen to them when considering wealth building? Yes, they will have very good ideas and yes there is some success to be had using these ideas. BUT doesn’t it make sense to listen to those who are multi-millionaires or even billionaires? Well now we can.
It makes sense to me. Look, I am not going to try to teach you any thing or tell you that I have become a millionaire yet. However, I had these questions presented to me yesterday while listening to an Audio Program that claims to be providing just those ideas and ways to apply these “secrets”. We were asked a lot of things. But to mean the one that hit me hard was “Why would you learn how to create wealth from someone who has not done themselves?” Food for thought for sure.
I have stayed away from the wealth building hype for a long time. Recently with the foreclosures and people suffering, losing jobs I began to realize that we — I — need help. It was serendipitously that I contacted a Doctor friend of mine, who is rather wealthy, and asked him if he had any ideas for me in terms of finding a product or service that I could promote online, since this is what I do for others.
He responded with sending me what you see below. When I first saw it I thought, ok, I have seen this before it’s just one of the same-old –same-old affiliate programs out there with some more hype. Thank God I decided to look deeper, and I did this because I knew my doctor friend who is getting a book published for a cousin of mine, is someone I can trust and he does not go around promoting this or that. I even asked him WHY had he not
told me about this before!
Bottomline, by joining this Organization, you can learn from very wealthy what you need to know to create your own success. It has never been done before, where people from these “secret” societies share it all. In fact, that has been the problem. We get half the truth more or less and then wonder why we are not successful. I know all of this is for real because of my friendship with the good doctor personally. I also know that what I have learned in half a day has set me free in many ways. It is time for any of us, if we wish, to step up and change our lives. I have to tell you that I personally have had my “spiritual” views keep me from looking at this. But there is nothing spiritual about our friends and neighbors suffering due to lack of money!
Recently, I realized that, we have a responsibility to make money, lots of money so can help ourselves and others. Why should the people who want good in the world not have the money to make it happen. Why should these societies to which the rich have belonged keep secret on just how they do it. I have learned that a great majority of them do not want the rest of us to know. Well, no surprise here. However, there are a number of them who want to share with others for the good of humanity. I had already been researching a lot of the societies etc for other reasons and I know that those that are coming forward are tired of seeing humanity suffer.
Learning How to Produce Wealth
By · CommentsI bet you are wondering why I am bringing in the topic of Produce Wealth in a writing with the heart blog? It is really simple: I am tired of seeing people in need, suffering, hungry even at times when the those that own 1% of all the wealth sit by. I am writing from my heart here, I am learning how to produce wealth now and have found just the vehicle to do it with. I have the White Knights of the Wealthy if you will who are sharing their secrets with us. And we can bcome a member of their organization for much less than we have spent on trying to make money online.
I was personally invited by one of the top members whom you will hear in the member’s section. My only question to him is why didn’t you tell me about this before! I knew that he knew how to produce wealth and figured he just had the right connections. Well, that is also true. These “connections” are available to us as well. Don’t be fooled in to thinking this is just another get rich quck scheme or anything else of that nature. Check it out for yourself.
I Am Going to Write a Book Finally
By · CommentsIf you were following my blog posts last year, you know that I am kept talking about how I want to Write a Book and also how I love poetry. Well, life happened, and more than a year later after my sweet Mother’s passing, I am still not writing. In fact I have gotten distracted several times. Recently, the distraction wiped me out and I felt like I was just dragging around. I realized that I have to follow my own path and my own passion not someone else’s. Cheez, maybe soon I will learn. Obviously, my body and heart let me know but just pulling the plug. And when I get back on track, my energy comes back.
I am just posting this really quickly to get out in to the Universe, I am going to write a book, and I am going to collect all my poems and make that into a book. I am also going to follow the Write Book in 28 Days course. I will let you know how it goes.
Shinzen Describes Mindfulness
By · CommentsAs someone said to me earlier: I am on a roll. Check out this description of Mindfulness on youtube. If you want to know how Shinzen Young compares to others this is a sweet one. You might see why I appreciate his clarity.
Santa Monica Mindfulness Meditation Teacher on “Ick”
By · CommentsWhat do you get when you cross “Ick” with Mindfulness Meditation teacher Stephanie Nash? Aaah, you get a really coool youtube video that instructs you on what you could do when “Ick” hits. What in the world is Ick? It is a word Stephanie uses to label the unpleasant experiences (thoughts & feelings) that come up in our lives.
You may remember Stephanie if you have watched any of the Shinzen Young interviews on youtube. (You will want to watches these for sure) Step is a mindfulness meditation and acting coach and is someone who has helped me more than I can say. I have experienced much generosity on her part too.Santa Monica Mindfulness meditation happens in style with Steph.
Oops, almost forgot the youtube video. I have watched it 3 or 4 times and absolutely love it. So…check it out–>

A few months ago I discovered a teleconference mindfulness retreat! You might think I am kidding, but I kid you not. Mindfulness Meditation Practice Retreat home program now comes to you. I am very ” mindfully ” excited about this: a meditation retreat that comes to you. What a “best kept secret!”
Last night I discovered another best kept secret. The Senior Mindfulness Teacher, Shinzen Young, actually receives your calls and returns them. He then answers your questions and if you want he works with you on getting clear about your practice. Never have seen this kind of generosity. Does he do it for everyone? No, of course not. But he does do it for anyone who is on his home practice program or otherwise attends in local retreats. And, there is even another secret to tell, which I hope won’t be a secret for much longer. I just don’t know why the whole internet isn’t buzzing about this amongst those of use who have done some kind of spiritual practice in their lives.
What’s that other secret you say? Well, the 4 hour retreats are only $20! Usually on a Friday there is a 2 hour session and it is only $10! If you are like me and it is has been hard to impossible to get a way for a retreat, then you, like me, should be overjoyed to hear this. You can do more than one 4 hour retreat in the monthly retreat weekend. Last month I did 3 – 4 hour retreats and the 2 hour on Friday. I meditated for two hours–never before have I done that.
I know I sound a bit enthused here, but it is because I am honestly happy to know that any human who suffers needlessly can easily get affordable help. This has been a major search for me most of my life. I speak from experience too. And I have much I will be sharing about my experiences. Bookmark me or subscribe to my feed if you are interested. And do comment here and I will respond 
I have been meditating for years and Shinzen’s cd’s have helped me tremendously and have given me a big head start as well as much clarity and assistance. I actually listen to them everyday. However, I can tell you that the interactive practice brings so much more clarity and just catapults you up to a whole other level in terms of understanding what we do when we meditate.
You can still sign up for December 11th to 13th programs. Deadline is December 9th. For $20 you have a experience you will want to repeat. If you realize the need to practice for longer periods or if you just want to learn mindfulness practice this is your chance. If you can’t this month, they are held every month. Hope to “hear ” you on one of them soon.

Surya Das & Meditation on Google University
By · CommentsI just love google–well most of the time. As a person who does SEO I sometimes get upset at the changes. HOWEVER, Google is very “evolved” and why do I say that. Well, their Google University rocks. They have speakers from all walks of life and all disciplines. I have watched their Brain research and mindfulness practice Google University workshops on youtube.
Today I found another great offering with Surya Das, a well known Meditation teacher.. I am not a Buddhist just to make it clear, but I have found such great help with the mindfulness meditation practice that I like to share what I can. Surya Das is great although he does come in the “clothing” of Buddhism much more than Shinzen Young for example. But we can learn from him and Google thought so too. Here is that video with Surya Das:
Surya Das says we can become enlightened. Interesting whether we agree or not.
Do We Really Know What Depression Is?
By · CommentsBefore addressing mindfulness meditation for depression, let’s take a look at the meaning of depression. What is it really? Maybe you have not considered this, depression has become medicalized, and a concept. So when we ask ” am I depressed? ” what do we really mean and how do we know that we are? Are we depressed as a concept? Isn’t there real “feeling” going on, not just thoughts? Is there a living, breathing “process” happening? If there is something called depression that could really be defined–wouldn’t it have to be a living process, since we are living beings? There can be no one-size-fits-all definition, although defining it this way, is the tendency for most of us, whether it a doctor, a psychologist, a physiatrist, or a lay person..
So…what might depression as a process look like? Is it possible that the reason(s) for the depression does not really have to be to our detriment, and if only we would allow the process, it is actually for our good? Let’s use the words “depressive process” so as to begin to see it more as a dynamic process instead of a static list of symptoms. Consider the true undefinability of depression. If you have symptoms a, b, and d you are depressed, BUT if you have symptoms a, b, and c, you have something else wrong with you, and don’t worry we (the professional and authority), will come up with a name by next week. Because when we have a name, then we can find a drug to fix it, and the beat goes on!
There is help for depression, but in our normal silver bullet approach, it will not go to the crux of the problem. Mindfulness techniques are really an unsung hero in this regard. Lots of research has been done on it and this is really good and worth checking out. For me, as I am experiencing it, mindfulness meditation does not deal directly with a concept (diagnosis) called depression. Something much deeper is happening. (Incidentally, this is how it works for any issue in our lives.) I am addressing depression by writing this, not just to publish on my blog; as it turns out, it has become an inquiry that I seem to be doing here as I write this and “feeling” you who may read it. Maybe you wish to follow along with me in this post and the next.
As much as I would like to never feel depressed, I am more interested in going deeper and not just understanding this as a concept, as an idea or to seek some pat answer, but to understand it at another level where I no longer need answers. Sometimes I “taste” this, or I would not be writing about it.
The surface mind wants an answer, the deep mind and heart has something much more profound and real to give us and to help us release the unconscious pain that is there. I see the depressive process as Nature or God if you wish, taking us deep to allow that to happen. If we think something is terribly wrong then the process will go in the wrong direction. (Of course if you are suicidal or something like that, you need to get help, as you surely cannot wait for the meditation to work for you. BUT you can still meditate and work with it on a deeper level.)
Unless you think I am someone who has gone mad, this is what Psychologist Robert Sardello has said, “The depressive process is the very process by which we digest the meaning of events at a level deeper than words, letting things “get to us” and change us. It is the process of deepening.” This can sound like another concept, and in a way, it is.
So, I personally, don’t ask am I depressed any more. I have an opened question now. My quest is not to get final answers, but to explore, and to allow what just may have no answer to emerge from within. I know this is possible because I am, although to a very small extent, living it now. You have, in a way, lived some of this yourself. Haven’t you grappled with a problem and then just given up only to have the answer or the clarity you needed just come to you out of the blue sky?
As I have said elsewhere, I see the light at the end of tunnel for the first time in many years. I only share below what I have used myself. I hope you come back for my next post. Some friends have wondered whether it is a good idea for me to share my deepest feelings on the internet- such as my poetry- which I intend to do in the future. I feel I should since perhaps it may touch you or someone else. This post is not too personal, but it is a beginning and it feels right.
Not All Mindfulness Meditation Styles are Equal
By · CommentsAll mindfulness meditation is helpful and worth doing. But I have to say that in my experience they are not equal. This has a lot to do with what a person is attracted to, their personality, and may be even their particular needs. But I feel, for me, it has to do with clarity in the presenting of what it is and in the ability of the teacher to take you into a direct experience. I would not have known this had I not discovered Shinzen Young and his style of presenting and teaching mindfulness meditation. Check out this video so you can get a taste of what I mean

How to Treat Depression – My Biggest Help
By · CommentsWhen I started this blog, I was once more in my life slightly depressed to majorly depressed at many times. You can read back and see what was going on. I was the caregiver for my sweet mother and it was not easy. Later when she passed, well, the grief just seemed to dig me further into what I call “depression”.
How to treat depression has been a focus for a long time. I might have called unhappiness or traumatic symptoms or grief. But depression was definitely part of it. I am not talking about being clinically depressed. Although I wondered at times, but I truly felt as if I were dying. I found out that clinical depression means you are not taking care of yourself, not eating right, not resting etc. etc. That was never the case. Very trusted professionals and therapists have confirmed that mine is was not a clinical depression.
I have decided to share about my struggle with depression and my years of spending large amounts of money and time to get help without going the medication route. Although I have practiced some type of meditation for at least 35 years or more and I know it has all helped, even before the last years of caring for my Mother, where it was a majorly stressful situation, I still always battled with the question: ” Am I depressed ? ”
Now I have comprehended, that I didn’t understand it in the way I needed to, nor was I practicing meditation in the way that would finally dig me out of the hole. I have begun to see the light at the end of tunnel, with some very wonderful surprises along the way. More on this later.
I realized that 35 years of learning, studying, trying many modalities, therapy, bodywork, meditation has helped bring me to this point. It has all helped, but it wasn’t until recently that a light went off in my head about why mindfulness training and meditation has begun to make the difference. I have decided to write about it. In a way it is a daunting task, because I don’t want to overwhelm the reader with a lot of data, yet I want to present the viewpoints and the insights I have had that have brought me to this conclusion. Of course, besides the major changes in my behavior and my feeling states. For example, food cravings seem to have dropped away on their own! A very natural change, no forcing, manipulation or any thing of the kind. Just Nature working in me.
It doesn’t matter what your faith is. I doesn’t matter if you have none. We can all agree that there is love in the world and loving kindness, inspite of all the atrocities we may be subjected to by the bias news. Just this little bit can keep us going.
Probably the most difficult thing for me has been and still is allowing myself to not always think I have to have answers and allowing what is called the “don’t know mind”. This is a whole other subject. Well, this was going to be a short post and then I decided to revisit it. And this is what happened Please feel free to comment, if it is a real comment, I will approve it and even respond.
Please subscribe and come back soon. I am working on a short ebook which I will make available for just a few dollars. But I will also keep posting.
Meantime, if you are depressed, don’t give up and check out Shinzen Young.
Shinzen Young Mindfulness Meditation CD’s will take you deeper and give you much more than stress relief. It is his style of mindfulness that has helped me more than anything else with depression =>
I recommend all of his “stuff” but I am very partial to the Break Through Pain Series which is how I was introduced to Shinzen style mindfulness practice. I will share what happened on the nextpost and link it here after I do
Shinzen also offers Teleconference Mindfulness Training retreats! I feel like I have died and gone to heaven to have this available. Once you listen to the free interviews you will understand why I feel so strongly about it. There is help and it lies within us, in our own hearts and minds.
