Continue To Trust; Your Dawn Is Rising
“The light shines and brings the truth into your eyes.
The wind blows and you hear the wisdom of the ages.
A question arises in your mind and, just as quickly, the All answers.
Yes, my dear, you are in the Right place at the Right time.”
~Jennifer Koerner
Check Out Ping Li’s New Book, "Awakening," And Receive $8,400 In Bonus Gifts!
As my good friend Ping Li can tell you:
“The surest route to a life full of joy, clarity, loving relationships, peace, and yes WEALTH … lies in developing your spiritual self first!” Because until you figure out what matters most to your spirit – your Soul – you’ll be constantly pulled off track in your pursuit of other goals. You have to line up those other goals with your ‘Higher Purpose’ in Life. And when you do that… everything else you desire will be drawn to you like iron filings to a magnet!
And HOW do you do it?
That’s where Ping can help you.
Ping’s newest book, AWAKENING: Fulfilling Your Soul’s Purpose On Earth, is an amazing guidebook to uncovering, exploring, and achieving your Higher Purpose in Life, and the nourishment your soul needs. (And, in the process, achieving all your heart’s other desires!) What Ping Li has laid out in such easy-to follow fashion, is a 22-day process of daily mental exercises, journaling, and meditative journeys. Each day, you explore another aspect of spiritual development together…
And as you progress through these simple steps, you can feel your Spirit lifting, your daily burden lightening, confusion and depression dissipating… And nature’s Universal Laws of Attraction, Giving & Receiving, and Manifestation beginning to work in your favor, as God always intended, to create the life you dream of.
When you visit her website, at:
www.awakeningbooklaunch.com/bookpromo.html
… you’ll find many glowing reports other readers have shared. Like these:
*** “Your book has empowered me to replace fear with faith, and embrace my soul’s desire.”
*** “…guides you gently and lovingly through the journey of remambering who you REALLY are. To read it is TRANSFORMATIONAL!”
*** “Your simple and direct, yet powerful, insights and exercises have helped me understand and connect to…the power of my own pure being.”
*** “Your book GLOWS with positive energy!”
*** “thank you sincerely for guiding me back to the power of looking wihtin myself.”
Now I don’t have room here to tell you Ping’s own story of tragedy and redemption. Let me just say Ping’s transformation has been both remarkable and inspiring! And the process she followed to turn her life around is precisely what she shares with you now in “AWAKENING: Fulfilling Your Soul’s Purpose On Earth”. You can learn more about Ping, her book AND the promise it holds for YOUR life at her website, here
www.awakeningbooklaunch.com/bookpromo.html
PLUS…
Here’s the really exciting news I referred to earlier (just in case a 22-day program to put you on the fast track to attracting all your heart’s desires isn’t exciting enough)… Because Ping – and her new book – are so well-loved by so many of us, a bunch of her friends and colleagues have banded together to make the official launch of it a hugely over-the-top success for her AND for you.
Here’s what this is all about…
In addition to the incredible fast-action bonus gifts that Ping herself is giving away to anyone who orders their copy of the book before midnight, September 15…
A bunch of us have come up with a gift package that (with all due humility) is absolutely OUT OF THIS WORLD! In fact, you’ll be receiving over $8400 in bonus gifts when you place your order before the launch cut-off. Look, this letter is already getting longer than I intended (but I’m just so excited about all this – I have a hard time knowing when to stop!) … so let me just say: Get yourself over to Ping Li’s website at:
www.awakeningbooklaunch.com/bookpromo.html
…and check this out for yourself. I quite whole-heartedly give it my highest “3 Thumbs Up” recommendation!
Here’s to living your dreams -

Pete Koerner To Speak About Prayer as described in his book, The Belief Formula, on September 17 at FCCW
Visit the First Coast Christian Writers and hear Pete Koerner speak about prayer and his book, “The Belief Formula: The Secret To Unlocking The Power Of Prayer,” Thursday, September 17, 2009 at 6:45pm. Directions and contact information are below.
“Prayer is the oldest form of problem-solving and healing, yet has been rendered marginally effective through years of ignorance and misunderstanding. Prayer is much older than any religion, and can be explained in such a way that it will become clear what a real and powerful tool we have access to in Prayer — ALL of us.
If you don’t pray because you think it is a religious thing, you should think again. Prayer is thought; thought is prayer. It is our thoughts that create our lives; we just need to learn what that means and start using what we learn. The greatest minds of all-time have always said thing like, “As a man thinketh, so it is done unto him.”
Prayer works the same way for everyone — the only difference between one person and another is their understanding of how such things operate. As a child, I knew I was supposed to be talking to God, but I had no real concept of how to make my wishes heard.”
Pete Koerner in The Belief Formula

Marriage Problems: 5-Reasons Your Marriage Probably Can’t Be Saved…
Marriage problems are much more common than happy marriages. In fact, you aren’t likely to find even a happy marriage that doesn’t have its share of difficulties. A happy marriage is possible; but lasting happiness is, for most people, a frustrating myth – the proverbial magic unicorn. Roughly half of all marriages end in divorce; while the other half are a mixture of miserable arrangements, unpleasant unions, outright battlefields, a few amicable partnerships and, yes, an occasional unicorn. The bottom line is that marriage is not for wimps. Statistically, the deck is stacked against you where “happily ever after” is concerned.
This article may seem anti-marriage or a bit more cynical than most of my articles on relationships; but, in the case of marriage, reality is not pretty and ignoring the truth doesn’t change it. If you want a chance at saving your marriage, you’ve got to come to grips with some of the reasons most marriages cannot be saved. I’m not talking about infidelity, dishonesty, abuse, insensitivity or any of the other obvious issues that lead to marriage problems and divorce; I’m talking about the issues behind some of those problems and the reasons most marriages cannot survive such problems and become irretrievably broken. Here’s a list of five-common reasons most marriages are destined to fail or fall disappointingly short of the bliss most couples think they’re signing-up for:
1. You probably got married for the wrong reason – most people do – and are therefore lacking adequate common goals and incentives to invest more in your marriage than you already have. This is most likely true for at least you or your spouse if not both of you. The reason you got married was either a lie, or has since disappeared, leaving you with no reason to stay together or work on a relationship.
2. Most people only see their side of a situation and are convinced they’re right. Or, they aren’t willing to consider any other view or the fact that they may not be right. In other words, most people want their partner to change so they can be happier.
3. It is rare to find two people who are both interested in personal growth and development – which is exactly what people need to grow beyond their current problems and limitations. What you know at this point in your life has led you to where you are now; you need to learn new things to grow beyond this point – including growing in your relationship.
4. The sad fact is that marriage simply doesn’t work out for people who are not self-disciplined and compassionate; that’s why most marriages suck so bad that they either end in divorce or are sources of misery and bad jokes for those trapped in them. Of course, if you can find two people dedicated to being kind to one another, marriage can be the best thing Earth has to offer. Needless to say, those couples are rare; and most people are more concerned with what’s for dinner, what’s on television or what they have in the bank than they are with each other or with building a strong relationship.
5. Chances are that you or your spouse invest more time in everything else than in each other. It takes two to tango; and, if either of you spends more time watching television, surfing the Internet, playing video games, working, chatting or hanging out with friends, or are otherwise engaged outside the marriage, than you may stay married for quite some time, but an unhappy marriage is not a good thing to hold onto. Unhappy marriages are things that should be fixed or discarded as quickly as possible before they lead to stress, unwanted weight gain, illness, and other disasters and misery.
You certainly can fix any marriage or marital problem – as long as you have two people willing and equipped to work together to fix it. The first step is making sure you want to salvage the marriage and then determining if the marriage is salvageable. If you cannot overcome these issues, you simply won’t be able to save your relationship. If you want to save your marriage, consider these issues and try to address them without shame, blame or criticism. If you and your partner can come to the realization that problems are natural and solvable – and find some common ground and incentive to work together to solve them – then you just might find that unicorn.
Prayer And Religion: Prayer Isn’t A Religious Thing, It’s Thought
Have you ever really thought about prayer – what it is, or why and how it might work? Most people don’t; they simply live their lives with the same simple understanding they were given as children: “Prayer is when you talk to God.” The biggest problem with that is the limited understanding of a child. Children don’t consider that “talking” is a way of converting our thoughts into vibrations in order to share those thoughts with others; nor do they truly understand the concept of a God that is “All things.” Consequently, most children grow up to be adults with childlike understanding and unfulfilled lives – simply because they don’t understand the most basic principle of life: “As you think, so it is done to you.” Prayer isn’t a religious thing, it is thought; and the way you think will determine the life you live – no matter what religion you subscribe to.
I once had a conversation about prayer with a very religious young man who, after a great deal of discussion about the mind and the power of our thoughts, asked to me, “But you do believe your prayers are answered because of your personal relationship with Jesus Christ, don’t you?” I grew up in a Christian household, going to Christian churches; and I understand the importance of a “personal relationship with Jesus Christ” to the Christian church and those who are invested in it. But the complete lack of conscious thought and understanding in that way of thinking never hit me as strongly as it did that day. At first I thought, “Have you not heard anything I said?” and then I realized that most devoutly religious people are relying on their memory of the things they have been told before – at home and in religious settings – by people they trusted and believed (or were afraid not to believe).
My answer to this man’s question is something that all Christians should consider. Believe what you wish to believe; but don’t let your beliefs blind you to the truth of who you are. Christians aren’t the only people who pray. Prayer was not invented by Christians; nor was it invented by the Church or any religion or religious establishment. Prayer takes many forms – even inside a Christian church. If God is Omnipresent (All things and all places), where exactly are you directing your words or thoughts? If God is Omniscient (All knowing), why vainly repeat the same rituals – or continue to state the obvious? Jesus taught, “As a man thinketh, so it is done to him,” and, “It is done to you according to your beliefs.” If you don’t believe the words He said, you will only get what the world around you gives you. Unfortunately, we have been led to believe that, “Believe in me,” means, “Believe the stories others tell about me,” rather than, “Believe the things I say and the stories I tell about YOU.” Jesus said, “You will do these things and much greater,” and, “All things are possible to he who believes.” Do you really believe this?
Obviously, if your efforts to create or find happiness in your life have been thwarted, or unsuccessful thus far, it is probably easier to cling to a dogma you were given by others than it is to ponder the mysteries of the mind as taught by Jesus and other great spiritual leaders who have always told us, “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be.” It is easier to memorize stories and follow rules than it is to accept personal responsibility for your own life and the thoughts that create it. It is easier because the world is full of people willing to tell you what to think, what to believe, what to say and what to do. But it is also more difficult – more painful and unfulfilling. Thoughts are things; and you are responsible for yours and the things they create. All wise people know this. All religions teach this. This wisdom, in fact, predates religion and has always been taught by the wisest among us.
If you want to keep believing that, in order to have your prayers (thoughts/desires) “heard” and answered, you must believe certain stories or have a personal relationship with a specific entity, then do that. Likewise, if you want to believe that, even if you meet the above criteria, there’s no guarantee that your prayer will be answered, and if it is, there’s no guarantee that the answer will be, “Yes,” then by all means do that. But, if you’re doing all of this because you are a Christian, consider that Jesus was a Jew and He was speaking to and teaching Jews and Gentiles alike the same wisdom that had been taught in their holy texts for thousands of years before anyone could have had a “personal relationship with Jesus Christ.” Prayer works because it is thought. Good thoughts are seeds for good fruits; which is why Jesus said things such as, “Fear not; be of good cheer,” “Judge not,” “Do unto others…,” and “As you thinketh, so it is done to you.” Consider these things. Then, consider your constant mind set and the life that it has created. Finally, if you want to change your life, simply change your mind and the thoughts you entertain.
If these words have upset you, angered you, or caused you fear or consternation, just remember that Jesus had the same effect on most of the people he shared this wisdom with; they already had a religion and religious beliefs they lived by, and these words were shockingly different from the interpretations they had been taught their entire lives by their own religious leaders. In fact, the very people Jesus was trying to help and enlighten sought to harm him many of the times He spoke these words. Further, it was this “clarification” of ancient holy teachings that caused the church leaders to have Jesus put to death. Then consider that Truth always goes through 3-stages: Ridicule; Violent opposition; and, finally, Acceptance. Judgment, fear, anger and violence are always signs that the truth has not yet been realized and accepted. Think about it; then take charge of your life by accepting responsibility for your thoughts.

Fear Of Flying: Using EFT To Overcome Flying Fears
Fear of flying is one of the most common fears in the United States. Close to 3-billion people travel by air each year and a significant number of them are afraid of some aspect of flying. If you’re afraid of flying, you are not alone. Until recently, fearful air travelers didn’t have many options for overcoming fear; they were simply forced to sedate, suppress or otherwise mask or endure their negative symptoms and reactions. Now, with EFT, there is not only help for overcoming your fear of flying, but for overcoming practically any fear you can imagine. EFT is safe, easy-to-use, non-invasive, and best of all, it’s FREE! Try using EFT to overcome your fear of flying; then, try it on everything.
The experience you feel as fear is actually a combination of hormones and neurotransmitters your body is using to direct your feelings and behaviors in order to protect you and help you survive. Those hormones, commonly called, “Stress Hormones,” are part of the stress response, or “fight-or-flight response.” These hormones are released in response to your thoughts and perceptions about an event — thoughts and perceptions that aren’t the same for everyone. In your case, the thoughts cause you to believe your safety is being threatened in some way and what you’re feeling is part of your natural survival instincts. What isn’t natural is when your thoughts cause you to feel as if you have to fight for your life when there is no real and immediate threat to your life. In these cases — which are very common these days — you simply need to change, rewrite or delete the problematic stress-thoughts that are causing you to see danger where others are not. Thoughts, beliefs and perceptions are easily changed and, in fact, change all the time based on our experiences. With EFT, changing perceptions and eliminating negative or unproductive thoughts is a relatively simple matter.
To get started, you’ll need to download one of the many Free EFT manuals available online. (I have posted a Free, Illustrated Guide to EFT at: www.ExploreExpandEvolve.com/free_download ) Once you’ve read about the EFT process and technique, you’re ready to begin. Simply apply EFT to any problem or fear and you will find that you have more power and control over your life than ever before. You will no longer be crippled by fears that keep you from going places and doing the things you love to do or have always wanted to do. Help yourself to EFT; and then help set yourself free with EFT.
When using EFT, simply insert a problematic belief (such as, “I’m afraid of flying…”) into the EFT basic set-up phrase: “Even though ________, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” Before starting, rate your level of distress over this belief on a scale of 1-10 and write that number down. After completing a round of EFT, reassess your level of distress and compare it to the original number. You will most likely find that your level of distress has either dropped significantly, or disappeared completely. If there is no change, consider changing the statement by reflecting on the exact wording that causes you the greatest distress.
Below, I’ve compiled a short list of some of the more common beliefs associated with a fear of flying. If you use EFT to eliminate one of them, but still find you have some or all of your fear remaining, you can simply move on to another one. These aren’t in order. There’s a chance that, while using EFT on one of these fears, you will gain clarity on what you are really afraid of. For example, I’ve had clients using EFT with the statement, “Even though I’m afraid of flying…,” who stopped and told me, “It isn’t flying that I’m really afraid of, it’s FALLING!” This fear of falling could have been anchored during a fall as a child, but now it is being transferred to any activity that takes us off the ground. Use this list as a starter; begin with whichever belief resonates most strongly with you.
· I’m afraid of flying
· I’m afraid of crashing
· I’m afraid of heights
· I’m afraid of falling
· I’m afraid of dying
· I’m afraid the plane will break
· I’m afraid of being off the ground
· I’m afraid of being out of control
· I’m afraid of being hurt
· I’m afraid of being in pain
· I’m afraid of being hijacked
· I’m afraid of airplanes
· I’m afraid of being in a plane crash
Don’t hesitate to add to this list; this is just a starter list to get you going. Of course, your fear may be based on one simple statement: “I’m afraid of falling out of the sky.” If so, you might find that EFT completely eliminates your fear forever in only a few minutes. On the other hand, you may be burdened with all the fears I listed above – and then some. In that case, you may need to work with EFT for a while, or even find a professional practitioner to help you zero-in on the exact beliefs that are holding you back. In either case, EFT will help if you apply it and use it until you are no longer afraid. Have fun and expect miracles. In one way or another, your life is about to change for the better!
