This movie is brilliant!  It uses comedic humor (which gets us laughing and immediately raises our vibration ~ we’re wired to be happy) to show us some very important elements of life and how we choose to live it.

Life is about choice. It’s up to us how we live it and what we create for ourselves.

In the movie, Carl (played by Jim Carrey), out of fear of being rejected, abandoned, let down, etc…has grown accustomed to just saying no to life.  …and as a result he basically has no life.

While Carl’s not having much fun, he thinks he’s happy like this.  After all, it’s better this way.  Isn’t it?  (I can’t get hurt if I’m already numbed out and already almost dead to the world.)

Transformation Train

Transformation for Carl presents itself in the form of a high powered motivational seminar series called, ‘Yes Man ~ Yes is the New No’.

One of Carl’s few remaining friends (a blast from the past, when Carl had a life) persuaded Carl to come to the seminar.

Carl attends and reluctantly begins to feel the energy of the room…he begins to notice the seemingly high vibe of the participants.  Carl starts to wonder if maybe there’s something to all this ‘Yes Man’ stuff.

Suddenly he’s face-to-face with the seminar leader (a piece of archetypical perfection in this role).  The leader gets in Carl’s face and with a ‘come to Jesus’ tone, scares the crap out of him inspires him to take the ‘Covenant’.

The covenant states that one needs to say YES!…all the time, no matter what the circumstances or situation.  And if one abides by the covenant their life will be filled with fun and paradise unparalleled.

Yes, Man!…that was awkward.

The movie proceeds to show us some incredibly awkward, mostly funny (one downright ‘ewww, that’s just so wrong’ in my oh so humble opinion) instances where Carl says, YES!

Even in the midst of some ‘not so fun yeses’ Carl realizes his life is turning around for the better.

He’s living again.  He can breathe.  Things that felt like mundane struggles before are now blips on the radar.

Life was now showing Carl all sorts of new opportunities, new ways to express himself, new ways to have fun and enjoy life.

Curses!

As time goes on, Carl feels the weight of the covenant he’s taken as a curse; he believes out of seemingly relevant observations that when he just has to say NO!…bad things happen.

So he tries to continue to only say YES!  This of course brings about quite a conundrum; something inside him tells him the story he’s now living isn’t quite right.

(…get it…internal Resonance Barometer going off…will he listen?)

Some interesting plot twists develop as Carl realizes there are just some instances where a NO! is necessary.

And so continues Carl’s exploration to finding the balance and the deeper meaning of being a ‘Yes Man’!

The moral of the story according to me:

We truly and completely step into our natural, unique and authentic power when we get real with ourselves.  When we’re tuned in enough and honest enough to only go in the direction of what feels good, in ease and grace.  This is what alignment is all about.

Discernment is a beautiful thing.

When we align ourselves with that which flows from our brilliance, our essence, our Divine Spark we empower ourselves to live an inspired, richly promising life that delivers everything we could ever imagine…and more.

When we choose to live our lives in this manner and we trust that by being true to ourselves that only good can come our way…that’s exactly what happens!

The glorious thing about that is that it’s true and applicable to all aspects of our life~
relationships, jobs, careers, home, health…etc.!

In the spirit of ‘Yes Man’

• Let’s celebrate our YESes and honor our NO’s.

• Let’s be true to ourselves and watch the world arrive with greatness right in front of our very eyes.

Are you with me?!?

YES, MAN!  …  (well, only if it’s vibing for you…only if it feels goood…right!)

Tune in to your Resonance Barometer!

Some time ago I was talking with a group of friends about how to tune in, how to really know what that still, small voice inside is talking about.  As I was describing what it’s like for me a great metaphor came to mind; something that captured the essence of what I was trying to translate.

The Resonance Barometer

If a traditional barometer measures atmospheric pressure, then our own internal “Resonance Barometer” measures Energetic Vibrational Pressure or more simply it measures the vibes you’re feeling in tune with your own intuitive, authentic nature.

The Resonance Barometer allows us to gather information:  Is this a match for me?  Is it in sync with my truest desires?  Is this in harmony with my authentic self?  Bottom line…is this a good choice; a good choice for me, in my own uniqueness?

Our Resonance Barometer cannot fail.  It’s harmoniously attuned with our Source Self; that essence part of us that is linked with One Love and One Truth.

Learning to tune into your own unique Resonance Barometer will offer you assistance beyond measure in all of your life experiences.

Can you distinguish your body’s signal for a yes compared to a no?  When you become more familiar with your body’s messages and signals you can then make choices and take action from an empowered, authentic, tuned in, tapped in place that feels good.

Where is this Resonance Barometer anyway??  How do I read this thing??

Where do you feel your Resonance Barometer signals?  For me personally I have alarms that sound all over the place!  The obvious first one is my gut; my stomach offers me loads of information.  Does your stomach leap, fall, jump, flip over, feel anxious, nauseated, queasy…?  These are all signals to help you determine what it is you’re feeling.  But, how do I use the information, you may ask?  Simple.  Just ask yourself; does this feel good or not?  (I prefer to go in the direction of what feels good…how about you?)

Another body reference for me is my heart, felt in the chest.  Do you ever feel your heart race, skip a beat, feel just all warm and tingly (a definite GOOD one!)?  Have you felt your chest tighten, feel as though your breath is restricted?  (Maybe not so good.)  Have you felt your chest expand, as if all the air in the Universe could be inhaled in one breath?  (Hint:  that’s another GREAT one!)

A signal I love and have come to adoringly refer to as “truth bumps”…you know the one, when your skin sends ripples of enthusiasm or chills of uncertainty or doubt sweeping up and/or down your body.  (By the way, I’ve come to determine most times that “truth bumps” moving ‘up’ my body is a good thing and if I notice they descend from the top down it generally tells me I need to take caution and review a bit more before making a decision.)  I could go on…my body is a never ending encyclopedia of signals and references that I’ve learned to read and be grateful for.

Making decisions and choices from this place allows life to show up for you in a way that will turn you on like you’ve not been turned on before.  What I mean to say is that you will be acting in and from your Brilliance…and when you come from Brilliance there is no stopping your Light, your Essence, your Spark from delivering goodness.

Why do I love the Resonance Barometer SO much?

How do I love thee, oh Resonance Barometer?  Let me count the ways…
One of my absolute favorites:  I love the Resonance Barometer because it completely negates judgment, guilt or self-doubt.  If we are simply tuning in to our unique resonance and honoring what we feel to be accurate for ourselves, it’s not possible to be in judgment of anyone or anything as it’s unequivocally about oneself, completely unattached to the ‘outside’.  What a relief when we realize we can say yes to our yeses and no to our noes while feeling completely in our integrity, knowing our decision is accurately based on our own Resonance Barometer, not on a possible sense of duty or obligation, guilt, fear or any of those other illusory self-sabotaging no-gooders!

Honor it, love it, be grateful for it!

Seriously, this Resonance Barometer is quite possibly the best, most treasured gift we have; especially in matters of aligning on our soul path.  It’s there for us at all times; sending us signals that lead us to the lives we wish to create for ourselves.  Honor it.  Respect it.  Love it and give it hugs of gratitude!  It’s working for you!

How about you?  :0)

Will you empower your Authentic Self?  Will you allow your Brilliance to shine like the sun?  Tune in and get to know your Resonance Barometer today.  It’s been waiting for you all your life.  It’ll never abandon you.  It won’t break down.  It’s tried and true, ready, willing and able to assist you.  Tune in and guide your way on!

I’d love to hear some of your best Resonance Barometer stories!  Are you honoring your Resonance Barometer?  When have you tuned in and allowed your Resonance Barometer to guide the way…maybe even save the day?

Guest post from Jonathan Goldman, author and sound healing musician: The 7 Secrets of Sound Healing & Holy Harmony

Every object has a natural vibratory rate. This is called its resonance. One of the basis principles of using sound as a transformative and healing modality is to understand the idea that part of the body is in a state of vibration. Every organ, every bone, every tissue, every system–all are in a state of vibration. Now, when we are in a state of health, the body puts out an overall harmonic of health. However, when a frequency that is counter to our health sets itself up in some portion of the body, it creates a disharmony that we call dis-ease. This is very simple to understand, yes?

Now, if we were somehow able to create the correct resonant frequency for something that was vibrating out of harmony, say for example, the liver, and we were able to project this frequency into that area, one could conceivably create a condition of healing by restoring the imbalanced area back to its own resonant frequency. It is as though your body and all its parts are like some wondrous orchestra that is playing some sort of “Symphony of the Self” when we are healthy. But what happens when the third violin player from the end looses their sheet music? Soon this player begins
to play out of harmony and rhythm. They are not only playing the wrong notes and the wrong timing, they begin to affect the whole string section. Pretty soon the entire orchestra begins to sound badly. This is what happens when a counter frequency sets into the body.

Currently, our medical approach to dealing with this problem is simply to either give the poor string player enough drugs so they collapse and are no longer in the orchestra–either that or to cut the head of this player off with a broad sword. This does alleviate the initial problem. The string player is no longer playing the wrong notes. In fact, they are no longer playing period. But what if it were possible to somehow give this player back their sheet music. What if it were possible to somehow encode and project the correct resonant frequency back into the organ and get it vibrate to its proper frequency? This is the basis of using sound for healing; to restore back to harmony some portion of the body that is vibrating “out of tune”.  Is your orchestra in tune?
