2011 Successes

In the last 2 books that I have read: Mike Dooley's Manifesting Change, it couldn't be easier and Dr. Joseph Murphy's book, Maximize your Potential through the Power of your Subconscious Mind to Create Wealth & Success: book 2. I found that the concepts in both books of manifestations are basically the same.

First and foremost - it's really all about being connected to your spiritual resource, (Infinite Intelligence, Source, Universe or God). It's about co-creating your experience by feeling and experiencing that connection. Spend time each day praying, meditating, and giving thanks. It's this pure unconditionally loving connection that allows us access to the higher vibrations that creates and manifests.

Secondly, start with the end result in mind. Think about what it's like to have what you want, what does your life look and feel like by accomplishing your goal? Don't think about the HOW concentrate on the NOW. Experience the feeling of having it now and let the Universe do the rest. I once read that Wayne Dyer makes the jacket cover of his new book even before he starts to write it, so he sees the end result through the creative process.

Lastly and most importantly...MOVE and TAKE ACTION in the direction of your goals. Pick up the phone, go out and meet people, talk about what you do, get on the social media sites and connect with other like-minded individuals. The 'Secret' is an excellent pre-view to the Law of Attraction but I think it misses a key element....MOVE and TAKE ACTION. I'd like to be clear - it's NOT about controlling the process, it's about taking the steps to move you toward the direction of your goal. It's letting the Universe know that you are serious about what you want and then it'll meet you more than half way.

Today. I wrote out "2011 Successes" in my journal as if everything has already happened. Here are a few items that I wrote down:

2011 Successes

I have my own radio show, this show is a success, it has a strong following each time I broadcast. I am grateful for the following special guests that graced my show throughout the year: Michael Neill, Gregg Braden, Sylvia Browne, Deepak Chopra, Mike Dooley, and the many others who participated.

I travelled internationally to conduct workshops, healings, and lectures and I got paid well.

Places I visited for business and pleasure this year: Hong Kong, Geneva Switzerland (3x), London, Italy, Fuji, Cyprus, Spain, India, and Africa.

I was invited to participate in a Hay House "I Can Do It Cruise". The response was so well received that they have asked me to come back again next year.

At the end of the list I wrote: Through the grace of God this has all come to pass and these blessings continue to be present in my life. Thank you Lord for all these blessings. With you, through you, for you, anything is possible. Blessed be.

Take a moment now....breathe deeply and let it out with a sigh...feel yourself grounded to the earth's energy, balanced, and connected to your spiritual resource. Write your list of 2011 Successes as if they have already happened, write out as much detail as possible about what it felt like to accomplish each goal, how had your life changed with those remarkable events? What was the positive reaction of the people in your life? Spend sometime reading them over. Allow yourself to experience those feelings of accomplishment now.

What are the first steps you need to take to move towards those goals? Write them down. Take those first steps.

Now let go of the how and allow.

Have a blessed, joy-filled, successful 2011, filled with Love, Light, Grace, Blessings, and Prosperity.

What if?

What if we are to learn from those children who have ADD & ADHD? Study how they learn differently from our 'normal' way of teaching. Research what they are sensitive to, i.e. light, dyes, textures, preservatives in food, additives, all environmental factors, etc... Do they hear, see, and sense things differently?

What if we should be learning from them instead of medicating them into fitting into our way of learning, relating, and functioning? Like trying to fit a round peg in a square hole. It'll fit, but not quite - there will be gaps, it'll be shaky, not very secure. Or it'll be too tight with no room to move, holding fixed in one state.

What if they are here to help us move into the higher vibration of 2012? Perhaps they are here to show us how to relate, communicate,and function in the higher vibration?

Just a thought...

Embrace, Breathe, Allow

When people ask us how long does it take for something to manifest, we say, "It takes as long as it takes you to release the resistance. Could be 30 years, could be 40 years, could be 50 years, could be a week. Could be tomorrow afternoon." --- Abraham

Last week while I was riding my bike around Cherry Creek State Park I noticed a big beautiful Cottonwood tree that had changed into its fall colors - only the leaves at the very top remained green. What needs to happen so the remaining less than 1% can change too? To me it is a message: what is causing the resistance? What needs to be released? Again, I am being reminded to release control and expectations. Like those top green leaves, they will change into their glorious fall colors. The change is going to happen the way that is meant to. All that there is left to do is: Embrace, Breathe, and Allow.

Our own Eat, Pray, Love Pilgramage

A few days ago, I decided it was time to make the drive to see The Great Stupa of Dharmakaya located in the heart of the Shambhala Mountain Center by Red Feather lakes Colorado.

First I wanted to stop and eat at my favorite Restaurant for Lunch - it's called the Cheese Importers in Longmont Colorado. They have a 200 square foot refrigerator filled with Cheeses from around the world. They also have a store filled with colorful household items from France, plus specialty conficture, oils, vinegars, and of course, chocolates. My favorite part is their deli where you can order freshly made salads, sandwiches, quiche, soups of the season and cakes - which you can enjoy in their quaintly decorated dinning room with French decor. All their cakes are divine. My favorite is the chocolate Oblivion served with Fresh Raspberries.

After enjoying our lunch. We then continued on our journey up Highway 287 through Loveland and Fort Collins.

Finally, we arrive at the Shambhala Mountain Center. It's a beautiful center nestled in the Northern Rockies. When we arrived there were signs posted that they were hosting a silent retreat and asked that we respect the silence through the 'downtown' area. Downtown is a few buildings and platform tents for sleeping. We could, however, talk in the gift shop and around the Stupa.

As we walk the 1/2 mile trek up to the stupa, we start to get an impression of the magificents of the Stupa. It is 3 stories high. Whatever your religious belief is, you can appreciate the craftsmanship, architecture, and artwork. Written in the visitor's center is a plaque that states: "The purpose of the Stupa is to promote peace and harmony and compassion in the world. It is a proclamation - a monument to human kindness."

Inside the base of the Stupa in a domed shaped room where there is an 18 foot statue of Buddha. You have an opportunity to spend some time meditating. What I found impressive was whatever you are thinking about, or dwelling on - nothing appeared bigger at that moment than the grace and beauty of the 18 foot statue. Every problem seemed dwarfed, diminished, and inconsequential.

While we were in the room with the 18’ Buddha, I received a message for a lady that was in the room with us. I ignored it – and walked around the outside of the Stupa in a clockwise fashion. I came back in and started to meditate again. I got the message again – but much louder this time. I looked up at the Buddha and said silently…”But I’m going to look like an idiot, if I do that.” The voice said,” this is your work.” So I went and asked if I could give her back energy. She said, "yes please". When I finished I sat down and started to meditate again…the voice said louder, but in a kind yet firm voice…”give her the message too.” So, as I was leaving, I mentioned that I received a message for her and asked if she would like that I share it with her. She said, "yes please". I gave her the message. She said thank you and we left.

After leaving the Stupa, we watched the 25 minute video of the making of the Stupa at the Vistors Center - which is a must see. As we entered the building, there was a hummingbird enjoying the wild flowers planted around the patio.

On the way back to the car, we stop off at the visitors center and purchase a few items - a memory of our visit.

As we drive back to Denver approaching home around sunset time, we looked at the mountain range and saw that where we had visited in the Northern Mountains - the setting sun was a vibrant red - the rest of the mountains were already dark.

Almost as if saying, thank you for the visit.

Joy filled or Miserable?

While I was driving to my office to meet clients yesterday. I had a thought. God, created us and everything around us. Then I thought. Well, why? So we can create. Then I thought...God didn't create us to be miserable, fearful or guilty. God created us to be joyful, abundant, and loving. He created us to be connected to him and everyone and everything. It is *man that is making man miserable and it's man making themselves miserable. Look at the news - it perpetuates fear. Listen to how people talk. Are they speaking of joy, appreciation and happiness, or fear and misery? Every new day you have an opportunity to make a decision to what kind of a day you will create: will you decide to feed into the misery track that is being handed to us by the media, news agencies, and the negative talkers or will you decide to be happy, connected and joy filled? What kind of a day are you going to create today?

Remember...seconds become minutes, minutes become hours, hours become days, days become months, months become years. Every second counts. What are you creating at this very second?


*man is being used as a general term for the whole human race in this text.

Spring Cleaning

"...Your past history does not need to own you. You are free." Quote from Steve Chandler's book, Shift your Mind, Shift The World.

As I'm in the thick of spring cleaning: drawers, closets, and cabinets going through what to discard and donate - a surprisingly meditative process. I'm thinking about the stories that could use some 'Spring Cleaning'. Stories that were created around events that happened during my childhood - or later. I started deciding which stories could be re-written, edited, or just plain deleted.

Reflecting back to this past summer while I was visiting a dear friend of mine and her family. When prompted, I remember automatically retelling her a story of something that happened over 30 years ago. Looking back, the story no longer fit who I am today. I have grown up, matured and my viewpoint of life has shifted into a more tolerant, forgiving one.

I find myself, like the Hawk flying high above, looking at the bigger picture. Seeing opportunities for growth, development and life lessons.

Which stories of yours need "Spring Cleaning"? Which one can be re-written, edited, or deleted? Be like the Hawk, step back look at the bigger picture. Free yourself from the encumbered scenarios.

Allow yourself to be free.

BE FREE.

How Many Past Lives?!

Last month I took a Past Life Regression Class at the Colorado Coaching and Hypnotherapy Training Institute in Longmont Colorado, taught by Zoilita Grant.

I had done some personal growth work with Zoilita summer of '09 and I was aware of some of my past lives (and there are many). Taking the class I became aware of some additional lives lived.

What I find interesting: what I thought had happened which was briefly experienced in meditation around a past life wasn't anything like what was reveiled to me in a hypnotic trance. Amusing how the conscious mind can try and come to conclusions about images and settings that the subconscious mind shares.

Through a powerful process of redecision work and changing contracts that were made lifetimes ago - these lives no longer have a hook in this lifetime.

Beginnings

"Whatever you believe is true in your conscious mind, your subconscious will accept without question." and "The Conscious mind is the captain, subconsious is the crew." Dr. Joseph Murphy.

The path to my new career started with quotes similar to those by Dr. Joseph Murphy. I stumbled on his book "The Power of the Subconscious Mind" in the library. I devoured the book within 2 days. Everything that he said, resonated with me with such truth and clarity that upon completion of the book - I searched out a hypnosis school. I found the Colorado Coaching and Hypnotherapy school in Longmont. Coincidentally, the director of the school was conducting an introductory class the next week. I went to the class and had that AHHHHHHAAAA moment. I came home and told my husband I knew what I wanted to do. It's been a year since I started on my journey, I feel complete joy. I have been priviledge to life-changing sessions for my clients. I find this work very satisfying and humbling at the power in which it can heal decades of emotional pain, habits, and behaviours. I have seen it bring release and happiness into their hearts. What's great about being a Hypnotic-Coach is that is NOT a therapy model. It's a life-coaching model. It takes people from where they are today towards their desired future.
