Introduction

We’ve all experienced miracles.

Likely every day.

Yet few of us would say so.

Why?

Because we don’t notice them. We misinterpret them. We deny them. Or are simply not open to receiving them.

My Year of Miracles contains 52 opportunities to change all that.

If we decide we want them. If we are willing to accept them. If we are ready to spend one year totally transforming our lives by experiencing miracles in our lives on a daily basis.

These are not the rare, burning-bush types of miracles. Rather, they are those things that we will thoughtfully and deliberately think of. Work to create. Invite in. Fully notice, Build on and cooperate with.

Nothing is overlooked in our quest for miracles. We will be experiencing them in all aspects of life: spiritual, personal, professional, relationship, health and self-care, financial, and avocational.

Tapping/EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Instructions

Called ‘emotional acupuncture’ in some circles, EFT uses Chinese acupuncture or meridian point tapping along with guided scripts to calm, redirect thoughts and energy and bring healing on expressed topics.

The first step in using this powerful self-help technique is to express then displace stress, anxiety, negative feelings or unwanted beliefs. Once our doubts, fears or upsets are expressed, we replace them with positive scripts that bring relief, new, healing thoughts and behaviors.

Tapping points and styles vary but the basics are much the same. If you have already established a tapping practice, simply apply the scripts to your own style. Otherwise, taking the index and middle finger, gently tap these areas in rotation as you repeat each line of script:

TAPPING POINTS:

Above the eyebrow

Side of the eye

Below the eye

Under the nose

On the chin

On the collarbone

Top of head

NOTE: Repeating this tapping exercise throughout the day particularly when feeling doubtful, uncomfortable or agitated is very helpful.

Daily Journal Suggestions

Journaling, in general, is a highly effective way to express and, ultimately, know ourselves better. As a practice in pursuit of Miracles, it will be important to write specifically about the Lesson of the week. This does not suggest the elimination of other forms of journaling. Only that there is full focus at the end of each day on one’s experience with the Miracle Lesson being cultivated that week.

Writing about the specific lesson, recounting personal doubts, hopes and real experiences with each Lesson increases the focus on positive experience, shows how our spirit and mind combine to energize the flow of Miracles.

It is helpful to have an especially inviting area to enjoy as this work is being done. Maybe unique tools like a beautiful journal and a special pen. Adding in the beauty of soft lighting, gentle music, a fragrant candle or other sensory appeal, may bring further inspiration and pleasure to your journaling time.

The important thing is to surround your Year of Miracles Lesson work with inviting ritual. Peaceful, rewarding sensations. Marking the time in some special way that represents sincerity. dedication and total joy in each lesson of My Year of Miracles. All will enrich your journey.

My Year of Miracles

Week 1

We can see a thousand miracles around us every day. We just have to look. - S. Parkes Cadman

Most of us believe miracles exist. We’ve read about them. Heard about them. Maybe even known someone who has experienced one. For many of us, miracles may seem non-existent, rare or elusive.

But we long for the joy, the uplift, the transformation that usually accompanies miracles.

We’re also pretty much convinced they belong to others. That we don’t qualify. We’re destined to live more ordinary lives. Without the miraculous.

Starting this week, we begin to believe we can and will have miracles in our lives. Yes, every day of the week.

We will sense and be filled with awakening. Wonder. Curiosity. Energy. All the result of relentlessly and fervently focusing on the belief that miracles are occurring all around us. Even if we don’t yet see them. We firmly believe that are there. Every single second. In myriad and unrecognized ways.

This simple act of looking for miracles will create an air of expectancy. Excitement Optimism. We will feel uplifted every time we see the unusual, even the smallest thing because this may just be a miracle in the making.

What might some of them look like?

The pleasure of coincidences during everyday life. The tiny enrichments that come from an unexpected greeting or word of praise. A feeling – even if momentary - of being heard or appreciated. Unexpected opportunity, connection or income. All new possibilities - big or small – that occur to us as we open ourselves to this new way of thinking.

By simply focusing on belief,
