Today’s Miracle Moment is about how getting in the Miracle Zone is the best thing you can do for the world…
During these incredibly unpredictable times, we’ve all experienced the effects of what’s going on in the world. As someone who cares deeply about humanity and wants to make a positive impact on the planet, you might be asking yourself, “What can I do to help the world?”
Here at Your Year of Miracles, we believe that the best thing you can do for the world is to first get into the Miracle Zone yourself.
Ultimately, we can only take care of others through helping ourselves first. Here’s a Buddhist teaching story that illustrates that.
There once were two acrobats. One acrobat was the teacher, a poor widower named Akil, and the other was the student, a young girl by the name of Meda. They performed every day on the streets in order to earn enough to eat.
Their act consisted of Akil balancing a tall bamboo pole on his head while Meda climbed slowly to the top. Once at the top, she balanced there while Akil walked down the street. They both had to maintain complete focus and balance in order to prevent any injury from occurring and to complete the performance.
One day, Akil said to the young girl: “Listen, Meda, I will watch you and you watch me, so that we can help each other maintain concentration and balance and prevent an accident. Then, we’ll surely earn enough to eat.”
But the wise little girl answered, “Dear master, I think it would be better for each of us to watch ourselves. To look after oneself means to look after both of us. That way, I’m sure we’ll avoid any accidents and earn enough to eat.” Sure enough, the little girl was correct, and that’s how they successfully did their act together.
In this example, the young girl puts her focus on herself first, because she knew that it was up to her to maintain the concentration needed to successfully do their act. It was up to the teacher to maintain his own concentration as well.
This is true in our lives. Sometimes we get overly focused on how we can help everyone else around us, and our energy ends up being dispersed, distracted and diluted outside of ourselves.
By taking care of ourselves first, we can get grounded, centered, and available to contribute to the greater good.
Scientific experiments are showing us that we can have an effect on our own DNA. Even more amazingly, experiments are also showing that our own DNA can affect the people around us, too.
The people and the environment around us respond to the vibrational frequency that we are emitting energetically–and that means our positive vibration positively impacts the world around us.
By dropping into ourselves and taking great care of our body, minds, and souls, we actually set up the vibrational environment that supports other people to do the same thing for themselves. And so, the more we get into the Miracle Zone, the more we support the whole world to do the same!
We can support one another by responsibly being stewards of our own vibrational power to impact the world through the way we care for ourselves.
As you live your life more and more in the Miracle Zone, you’re creating an incredible impact on the people around you and around the world.
This week, we ask you to explore what you can do to take care of yourself so you can also be of best service to the world.
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” –Howard Thurman
Amazing, I have a friend that wants to sign up for the course 2022, She is amazed at how happy I am even thought I went through 2 years of unbelievable stress. I bought my friend Dr Sue’s book and she said I needed this information 25 years ago, how did you know. She is now really excited to read the book and I am sure she will sign up for YOM as soon as it is open for registration. GRATEFUL, it was a Miracle I saw your program in December 2020 when I knew it was My Time for change.
I will start volunteer at Deland, Fl. Meseum on Friday. That is the way I start giving back to my community.
As I am listening & catching up with YOM, I am staying at a new environmental cabin resort. I am sitting on the verandah, my feet are enjoying an Epsom salt foot bath, I am sipping spring water, the sun is shining, the view is natural, including a natural water swimming pool. No matter how I came to be here unexpectedly, I am in a space where I can forget the world of chaos for a while. I feel safe & relaxed, I am in the Miracle Zone in this moment and hope my good feeling vibes are impacting the space beyond me in a good way somehow 🥰
Thank you Marci & Dr Sue for prompting this realisation & comment 💞
Wow ! Thank you, Marci & Dr Sue, for sharing. This Miracle Message gives support to a decision I’d made no later than yesterday afternoon. I love your class, thank you so much for offering it !!!
This is very timely. I”ve listened an hour or so after setting my Intention and Foundation for the next period. My home life is. so challenging that taking care of myself has become paramount as I get more and more exhausted by what I have to cope with.
I had just set my Intention to create a varying Self Care Routine for myself in the morning – every morning, no matter what. And my Foundation is Soul – to allow myself to listen to and follow my Soul’s guidance.
It feels good Magic that I have listened to you two lovely ladies just before I join my Miracles Group in 20 minutes time. You see, its working already.
I love Howard Thurman’s quote!
Yes! What makes us come alive? And go do that!
I am so grateful for YOM and all the members who are sending out amazing energy into the world.
For me it has been the most nurturing and loving thing I have done for myself!
Dear Marci and dr. Sue,
My life has been transformed by a succession of breakthroughs since the beginning of joining your Year of Miracles. I evolve from giving 10 times before receiving to I deserving. I evolve from diluting my enthusiasm to shining my light. I evolve from believing I was unwanted to being a walking, talking contribution to the world. I’m deeply, immensely grateful to both of you. You have created a portal to miracles. You are gifts to all of us! Lots of love, Agathe
I’m fulfilling my dream to be the music venue in the Adirondacks by building a bee bandshell, putting an awning over our patio and creating an amazing outdoor space at my Irish Pub that we have owned for 55 years. It is amazing to see how happy people are and to be able to provide work for musicians. It’s a beautiful experience! I thank you for your continued guidance in YOM to live in the Miracle Zone and make a difference in people’s lives locally and around the world!
A long time ago, I was the Associate Medical Director of National Planned Parenthood. I was promoting the idea that our 400 clinics nationwide should provide abortions and sterilizations. I was fired by Dr Guttmacher. The National Board was shocked, and immediately passed what I wanted; now some 600 clinics provide these vital services. Do nothing, and accomplish everything!
I am focusing on prayer and meditation more before starting my day. Afterwards, helping others and doing other tasks become seamless.
Thank you for the messages!
I am so amazed and impressed at the happy person I have become by working through the Year of Miracles. I am concentrating on what it is that brings me joy and serenity and pursuing and immersing myself in following my positive path and putting positive into the Universe…and the Universe gives me back my evolution into pure happiness, serenity and belief in myself. Only through this process do I choose “Belief” rather than “Fear”.
What a powerful and resonating message! For most of my life, my ultimate concern was to help others succeed first, putting my goals and success last on the list. Although my intentions were admirable and appreciated, this led to burn out and disappointment, as I never had enough energy or drive left to follow my own passions.
I am now retired and in the last few months, thanks to YOM, I’ve realized that I have not been giving myself the attention I deserve. The message I wish to share with the world can only be accomplished through my living my authentic self and being in the Miracle Zone. I am discovering new callings by following my own heart’s desires, and as I travel MY new path in life, my message is shared as I lead by example of living in the Miracle Zone!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Marci and Dr. Sue for this message. I am filled with gratitude for the gift of the Miracle Zone Family and for having you all in my life!
Retired from my previous career with a strong desire to still help others, I’m in grad school for integrative health with the goal of creating a welcoming environment and atmosphere for healing emotional and mental strife for others using nature and journaling.
Gosh, I never thought of it that way. Thank you for being the great souls that you are!
I started spending more time with my self.I relaxed my mind and body,am so much happier and focus.
Dr Sue and Marci you have no idea how much my life has change since I joined the YOM in February 2021. I’m living a miraculous life thanks to you both. Keep up the good work. You are both such influential ladies, I have never heard anyone speak such inspirational words of wisdom to the world. Abundance of blessings to you both and all the wonderful year on miracle family..Ye have no idea the support you have given me..
AS a young man I wanted tp prove to myself and the world that I was worth something. That is when I took up competitive ballroom dancing. Although it appeared that I had two left feet, through determination and hard work, I managed to win a number of major competitions and show the dancing fraternity, that miracles are indeed possible – must you must dream a little and work hard and with the right guidance, you can achieve the ultimate
The YOM has given me permission and concrete tools to focus on myself which is learning to Love and accept myself and stay connected to Universal Force. I heard someone say that if you are in an airplane that is going to crash you need to put on your oxygen mask on first otherwise you are going to be useless to help anyone else. The YOM is a reminder of this and the small Miracles Group is the practice zone for accepting myself and others to support and love one another as we share what is in our hearts. Precious gifts and precious growth. So much Gratitude for everyone involved in making this YOM happen!
Dear Marci and Dr. Sue,
What a wonderful ride this course has been and continues to be!!! I have experienced such love, joy and openness during this rough time in human history simply due to the Year of Miracles course and all it has to offer. Yay!
Thank you for the reminder to take care of ourselves first and others next. It is a circle of reciprocity that is undeniable.
I often think of life like swinging on a trapeze and loved your story. As a trapeze artist there comes a time for trust and knowing. You have to let go! Believing there is a person to catch you or a bar to reach out for. Thank you for being the light to help us remember that we are all in this together, knowing, trusting and believing not only in ourselves, but in the fact that we can truly make a difference.
Much Love and continues blessings to everyone!
