And again I totally agree that it will be okay, there are many, many wise and loving souls amongst us today!

I like the last part you wrote too – I hope to having EvolvingBeings and writing on it well into 2012, so who knows I might just do a post on the aftermath ;) Although there will be so much more between now and then!!!

@ CHRIS – You are welcome Chris! And yes Gregg’s work (books) are very thought provoking and mind expanding indeed.

Like you, I didn’t wish to think about the all doom and gloom, as some predictions go. Perhaps I am somewhat optimistic, in the belief that the negative parts won’t happen. I also find that I resonated better with the idea that there is a global uplift in energy.

I’m definitely excited to be to be a witness, observer and a participant to the awakening process leading up to 2012. It will be awesome if you can do a review after Dec 2012 on your blog!

Even though I know that all the answers are within us, it is thanks to other teachers that the information can jolt us a little, wake us or simply make us remember. For me his information really resonates with me. I know that a new Earth is coming, we are moving towards it right now. All the events that are happening personally and globally are not mere conicidences.

And yes we are fortunate to be alive on this Earth today, but Julie we did pick it after all, didn’t we ;)

Thank you for the wishes and hugs right back at you :)

@ TESS – Hi Tess, I completely understand, as spiritual as Gregg is, he is stil “sciency” at his core. I feel perhaps specially moved to him for that reason though, as part of me is a scientist too, so I revel in his stuff, ever since I found it.

Yes, that is interesting that Louise has made that predicition. It makes sense to me, as after 2012, I feel that word “recession” might not even be part of our vocabulary. We’ll see.

Thank you so much Tess for including your valuable thoughts here and I am so grateful with you about these changes :)

Louise Hay says the recession will end in 2012. I wonder what that will “look and feel” like?

I like the heart centered exercise. Your enthusiasm jumps off my computer it’s so great. Thanks for sharing your shot in the arm.

Life is changing as we know it and I’m grateful. It’s going to be better and I’m doing my part in making it that way.

Very good points too about how people can choose to approach this whole subject. To anyone, who is skeptical of anything, I always say, “just don’t dismiss the ideas completely.” Recognize that you may not be in vibration with them today, but respect that another alternative exists! And so I thank you for adding the link to your article, which I know can broaden reader’s ideas about this.

@ LANCE – Hi Lance and thank you for your insightful comment!

I am so glad that it did shed a different light on the whole event. As Liara says above, just looking at alternate possibilities expands our consciousness and that is valuable growth in itself.

And that is exactly as you say, about the power of choice. We are not helpless creatures at the mercy of some invisible force. Many times I think people forget that God is on our side. Thanks to this all supreme creator, we have free will, at all times in terms of how we are going to act, think, respond, etc. And today science has proven to us that our thoughts carry energy and weight in terms of how they dictate outcomes, both big and small!

So yes Lance, I too am very happy about learning all this, and I will not say “hopeful” because with a conscious mind, loving heart and peaceful soul, I know we can deal with anything that comes our way and move mountains if we need to ;)

@ JAMES – Hi James, that is a good observation indeed. Although I cannot talk for Gregg precisely, my intuition and presumption is the following:

For starters Gregg is learning this stuff as he goes, so it is not like he has been living with these paradigms all his life. In fact most of his life he lead a very stressful life based on the line of work he was in. And it is not that heart-centered living necessarily erases the signs of aging, but slows or prevents further aging.

I can tell you personally that I have not lived with this paradigm either, up until now. What I have done is lived a life based on love, peace, gratitude and low stress during the past 5 years and I have to tell you, I have not aged one bit in these past 5 years (I am being objective here, based on photos and people’s accounts)

So the way I understand it, is that it is not even about going through this “formality” of 3 minutes, but about incorporating more high coherence thoughts and feelings into our lives on a daily basis.

We know from biology that stress is acidic to our body and acidic bodies age the fastest. Some people choose to be angry, stressed, fearful, etc, which are all high stress responses that age us, while others choose otherwise and have the health and looks to prove it. So in heart-centered living, all we are doing is trying to bring in more of these anti-stress thoughts into our system, which now we are learning not only impact us physically but, spiritually and globally as well.

Just curious, if he is youthening, why is his hair getting whiter?
