Lifeline 1. Laughing out loud for one minute for no reason.

Lifeline 2. Giving something away: time, money, some form of supply, or acknowledgment.

Lifeline 3. Telling someone what you are grateful for or asking someone what they are grateful for. Asking the question of the day.

Lifeline 4. Practicing affirmations in the mirror or with a partner.

Listening: the highest form of loving. There are multiple levels of listening. The highest is conscious listening, which can liberate the storyteller from the story. One of the loftiest compliments our society pays a human being is to say that she or he is a “good listener.” A Sacred Commerce manager uses listening as a way to empower employees and gain their trust by being in their world and not trying to fix or change it.

Love is granting being: love is honoring everyone’s journey, everyone’s awakening, equally.

Loving money: money is an expression or representation of the divine presence of abundance that is everywhere, always. Money represents the inner quality of abundance, the knowingness of always being provided for. In the same way, a photograph of your children (loved ones) represents the inner quality of love.

Making a difference: being a contribution as a path of surrender and awakening to the whole; giving over your life to being of service to the whole; no longer serving just your individual wants, desires, and comforts.

Making requests: when you become powerful at making requests you are unstoppable. A manager powerful in making requests can build leadership and team spirit without domination. This is an alternative to making demands. Making requests builds and demonstrates self-worth and self-loving. A community that is powerful in making requests has a high level of workability because everyone’s intentions or desires are clear, and people can readily be supported.

Money as a sacrament: money is a fluid that circulates through the body of humanity. Money doesn’t go anywhere. Every time money changes hands it is a sacred opportunity to connect, to acknowledge our interconnectedness, our Oneness. Money is a representation of the divine attribute of abundance.

Non-attachment: giving, living, loving, full-out, 100%, without expectations. Expectations suck the joy out of life.

Nothing is personal: they are not responding to you. Their upset, their actions are not about you. Freedom lies here, within.

Perfect: One creator, One creation, One awakening. What about the Grand Canyon is not perfect? Consider that an evolving process is perfect. Your business, your employees, the Earth …

Question of the day: a Sacred Commerce manager has more questions than answers. Their questions elicit Oneness for employees, customers, vendors, and owners. What are you grateful for?

Recreation: a tool for verifying that the person being listened to has been heard. “Recreation” in this sense means to re-create what the other person said, to narrate back to the person speaking what you heard from them, verbatim, thus making certain they understand that you heard them.

Recurrent: a re-occurring and habitual story of limitation: “I’m shy.” “I should have gone to college.” “They’re fickle.” “Spiritual people are too spaced out.” “I can’t find good help.
