    GANESHA PROJECT NEWS: The purpose of the Ganesha Project is to collectively use our
    energy to manifest our dreams, no matter what they are.  Ganesha is the remover of obstacles,
    but we are the engines for the work. Cultivating the attitudes of higher emotions through
    connecting to Ganesha’s images is a suggested route to your truth. Spiritual practices such as
    prayer and chanting the Ganesha chant will relieve anxieties while the higher powers clear the
    path for you.

    Agreements made at an earlier time can pose a threat to your now. I recommend that you use an
    affirmation to help yourself decode and de mystify these seemingly endless burdens.
    You may contemplate how life would be if you had not already pledged away half you your life.
    Why do you try so hard? How is it that others lives seem to depend on your contributions of
    energy?
    Why not get out your Ganesha image and add a new practice to your repertoire. Light the
    candle, refresh the fruit and flower, and stand strongly grounded in front of you Ganesha altar
    and declare:

    "All of my agreements to supply energy for others are null
    and void now. All pledges of energy for the upkeep of others
    are gone today. My vital energy is mine to use now. All future
    pledges are null and void."

    If you already have a Ganesha image, keep yourself strong by spending some time
    contemplating the image and symbolism of Ganesha. Ganesha Info page

    Dear Readers,
    I am proud to say that most of you are very true people. You are true to your word, loving and
    ready to give the very life essence you have to help a loved one. How do I know this? Because
    you keep your agreements, even if you forgot later that you made them. Your subconscious
    mind has remembered well, and marked out all your duties, responsibilities, burdens and
    energy losses associated with keeping agreements and vows. This fine character trait can be a
    nightmare if taken too far.
    Today I want to mention that I know every single person has these burdens. Even if a person is
    seemingly prosperous, she may not feel it. She is caught up in an agreement she made with her
    brother, sister, father or mother. She agreed not to enjoy her success. Because of that vow,
    she is unable to participate in her current life. She misses the opportunity for vibrant creativity
    and self actualization, so that she can be a good citizen and uphold the beliefs and agreements
    made long ago with family. What are these beliefs, and how could anyone agree to this? One
    client has said that her dad made it clear that she needed to support her brother. He asked her
    to never do better than her brother, and never make him feel inferior. The way she heard it, her
    agreement was to let her brother have all the toys and attention and praise. This was to insure
    her father's love.
    The difference between my version and my sibling’s version of the agreement does not matter.
    Becoming conscious of what your mind is doing is paramount to disabling energy vampires.
    These are the predators from outside the family which we meet later.  Like us, they are obliged
    to operate on the principle of free will. If you choose new agreements that do not include loss
    to vampires they cannot take any more of your time.
    Understanding the family agreements we make in childhood is part of healing our energy losses
    today. If we have made an impassioned pledge to protect someone in the family we will never
    forget that commitment. Unfortunately, we are drained of energy by these agreements when the
    need for them expires. When danger passes, we are still committed to support. We must make
    sure to disengage from pledges that are no longer needed. What if the agreement is to make
    life miserable for the one family member? One member gets chosen to take the brunt of our
    projections. You have participated without conscious awareness, but you said yes on some
    level or at some time. You may have had good reason, being small and helpless, hungry and
    dependent. Adults demand much more than they realize.
    I should mention that the relationship we have with our own children is a special category as far
    as life energy is concerned. Whether father of mother, we make a contract for sustenance and
    nurturing and support of that child, usually at the news of conception. This primary contract is
    deeply human, and it is an intimate deal between what you think is God, the kid and you. Usually,
    these energy contracts are the most binding. They supersede any bonds with an outsider.
    Because the event of birth is a life and death crisis, we pledge our guts out just to get through
    it! With fear and crisis looming, we will vow away our entire future just to get relief from the
    possibility of losing the child. These are the agreements that need to be questioned the same
    way as your own inner family contracts. Yet many people are afraid to approach this sacred
    bond to de-mystify, update or eliminate the dark residue of that truly frightening time. Having
    readings, therapy and hypo- therapy, and getting body work are what I recommend for release
    and healing. Talk about your energy contracts, and what they imply. When we expose these
    agreements as outmoded and invalid, we free up loads of energy for ourselves. How about
    getting a date with that cute guy or girl next week, or stopping by that new school you are
    interested in? Keep in mind that you have free will. You can change your mind and heart.
    A free will approach is not only better, it is universal law! You have free will to choose or not
    choose to support  something or someone. You are entitled to question where your energy is
    going.
    When we stop playing the energy game and be honest, we do not owe our life energy to
    anyone. Your prana, or life force, aura, etc, is your own energy field. As such is nourishes you
    best. It is not really proper to give your power to anyone outside yourself. Even if you have
    made a pledge to support someone, your energy is for you, not to give away. No one has a valid
    claim on your energy. My advice is to buy a gross of greeting cards and let the post office do
    the talking. You may choose to reconfigure your calendar, and in the process, sweep out the
    vows of support and sustenance which masquerade as real love.
    Namaste!
    Lily
