2.
Have there been times when you've felt that your very presence has brought a healing energy to another, or made a difference in someone's life? Explain the circumstances and how you felt at the time. What did you do, say or feel, that brought about a positive change.

3.
Our thoughts and words have a direct impact on our lives. Can you provide example from your own life of what happened when you consciously created thoughts that led to the results you wanted? If war is caused by a clash of ideas, what ideas and desires do most people share in common? What do most people really want that could lead us toward a common, shared vision of world peace?

READ Chapter 5 (Lifting Your Vibration Level)

7.
Who are the high-energy, heart-centered people who act as role models and mentors in our life? How do we express love's heart-centered energy in our daily life? What does it feel like inside our body when our energy is high? What does it feel like when it's at its highest level? What are you doing at the time? Can your memory of it bring it forward, on demand? Experiment with this. If you like, use one person in the group as a "biooresonator" or "tuning-fork" to help lift the energy level of others in the group. Laughing for 5-minutes can also shift and lift the energy of a group. Practice consciously lifting your energy to a higher level now.

8.
Discuss the difference between visualization and meditation. Use examples of how you use each, from your own life. What do you want to attract into your life? Which will you use? In what way will you use each? If your thoughts and words carry a certain vibration rate, or frequency, what will they attract to you? Is this what you want? What single thing can you change about your thoughts and words so that they carry the same vibration, or frequency, as what you want?

9.
Experiment with using the heart-centered frequency of love, and your intension to heal, to heal something in your life. Discuss the process and the results of this experiment with your group. Experiment with an individual (or group) visualization and then vocalize it, as a sound as a frequency, by putting it into words. Repeat the vocalization until it feels as though the words are coming directly from your heart out into the world. Discuss the results of this experiment in your group.

10.
Experiment with spending five minutes consciously thanking everything that your eyes make contact with. Vocalize it. Say your thanks out loud. Notice how you feel. Try this same exercise with your body. Practice thanking your body, your heart, your liver, your stomach, your intestines, your kidneys, your lungs, and so forth. Speak your thanks, out loud, over and over, until the words feel like they're coming directly from your heart. Report back to the group. Discuss the power of paying attention to something or someone by thanking it.

READ Chapter 6 (Understanding Thought-Forms)

11.
Discuss the power of thought-forms to transform negative energy into positive energy. How many of these examples of positive thought-forms can you incorporate into your everyday life? Like a martial arts expert, practice this spiritual art of transformation. As a group, test the power of thought as a healing force, by selecting something from your local area, or perhaps the hole in the ozone, then practice chanting The Grand Declaration ten times to feel its effect on your own body and that of the group. Discuss how you felt about the process when it's over.

READ Chapter 7 (Transcending Fear)

12.
Discuss: How would you act and what would you do if you let LOVE live in the world, through your life. As an Ambassador of Love, what would a day in your life look like, if in every situation you asked yourself: What would LOVE do? And then did it?

What does the phrase "A rapidly evolving human is constantly self-healing," mean to you? Discuss with the group.

19.
As a group, tryout the HeartMath five-minute stress release exercise (page 180). Discuss how you felt. Did you set your intension to have your DNA unwind? Was the group aligned? Did everyone in the group expect a successful result? Did you begin the exercise with the following affirmation: "Our expectation is success" ... ?
