New Year’s Intentions

As I look back at 2010 with my preverbal 20/20 vision, I see a year that for all appearances may have exuded chaos and confusion. We have watched as many of the institutions held dear, shimmied and shook and some even collapsed. 

In addition, many have experienced personal challenges that they initially found insurmountable.   However, what we have also seen, is the human spirit rise to the forefront and thousands found within them, new strengths, opportunities and creative juices that rooted and took flight.

Many of these personal revelations wouldn’t have ordinarily had an occasion to surface had they not been stimulated by the catalysts demanding it.  The old adage,   ……is the mother of invention, has taken on new meaning as we have embraced these new demands.  

In an essence, 2010 has been a year of ‘laboring’  a powerful  ‘becoming’, in preparation for the rebirth that is upon us now for 2011 and 2012.

2011 is said to be a year of preparation for the consciousness shifts expected in 2012, and certainly everything we have seen, points to that phenomenal occurrence.  What then does it demand of us and how can we best prepare for these shifts to come?  

My 1^st suggestion is that we do an inner inspection and determine what no longer serves us and needs to be left behind, sending it off in gratitude. These can be traditions, relationships, belief systems, memories, in essence, anything no longer ‘working for us’.

One of these immediate changes concerns the tradition of making New Years resolutions. This tradition in my opinion, has hindered us rather than help us! My suggestion instead, is rather than a New Years resolution, we begin this New Year with a clarity, and setting of intention!  Exactly what is the difference?  Energetically, they are worlds apart!

A resolution is often based upon looking back and the notion that you have somehow fallen short of a certain previously determined expectation.  That sense of falling short, often is accompanied by the energies of guilt, not being good enough, not being competent, not measuring up, disappointment for self and others, etc., etc. 

These energies have a density and a sluggish frequency which one could liken to attempting to pedal backwards with a disengaged chain on our bicycle and expect it to heave us forward at the same time!  It’s just not going to work.  

 In actuality, we then enter into our New Year with a sense that we are failures.  This energy serves NO ONE!!!!!  This is why so often, people describe being right back into previous patterns, soon after the New Year arrives.  The energy carried with them from the past is not only permeating their present energy field, but is being perpetuated as they focus on their ‘failures’ and continue to attempt to right them.

Intentions on the other hand, are based on the power of the present, are used to create our future and catapult forward as they are free of any density from the past.

They are born of clear, fresh,  desires of the heart and are fueled each and every time that we focus only on what we want to create and experience and take the actions that are in alignment with that goal.

They are attached to what brings us joy, excitement, fulfillment and contentment. Our intentions, get wings and take flight as we envision ourselves, our loved ones, and our situations coming into alignment with the natural sense of freedom and abundance that is our very nature.

So this New Years, and the weeks ahead, remind yourself to bless your past…thank it for all it has taught you, for the opportunities it provided for you to grow, learn  and expand your awareness. Thank it for how it has finely polished you into a better version of you in a way you could never have imagined previously.  Thank it for all of the people who came into and out of your life to help you accomplish that mission of growth that is so important to revealing your soul’s purpose. Remind yourself that there is perfection in all of it and celebrate its manifestations, regardless of how they have appeared or are appearing now.  Remind yourself that all of life and its coming s and goings are temporary and simply let you off at the next stop until you are ready to ‘board a new bus’ and take a new ride!

Set your intentions, readdress them as time goes on and determine if your actions are in alignment with them or even if they still ‘feel good’ and continue to serve your highest good and desires.

Practice visualizing your desires and breathe life into them seeing them already being in your life and practice feeling how fabulous they are and how happy you are with these changes!

Put into place the systems and support systems for getting you from point A to point B and every point thereafter fostering your success.

Above all, strive to remain in the ‘now’ so that you will have all of the energy needed for your successful manifestations completely accessible to you at all times.  

These actions are the greatest gifts of ‘self love’ that you can give and when you do, the impact on your CELLpH, will result in great health, happiness, joy and freedom that will make your heart sing and the entire universe lay itself at your feet.

How’s that for a powerful New Years intention?

Creating The Trust Necessary To Manifest Our Dreams

Every Monday night I host a program on BlogTalkRadio called Manifestation Mondays: Create UR Intentions.  On a weekly basis, I highlight some facet of the manifestation process in order to help people employ it in a conscious manner, creating a more fulfilling and a true expression of their heart’s desire. This past week was a challenging one for me, as I watched some of what I thought was part of a big manifestation project slip away and I found myself experiencing some of the same disappointments that my clients often express. It made me stand back a moment and take note of where I was…why… and ask myself the very same question I had been asking my clients: “What do you think is the most difficult part of the manifestation process to maintain?”

The major consensus seems to be the ‘Believe’ state, and I must admit that I concur, although I know that they each are dependent on the other.  Is it the same for you?  Are you frustrated or challenged with limiting thoughts or beliefs that are getting in the way of your happiness? Do your dreams seem to get stuck just out of your reach and you find your ‘vision’ suddenly getting cloudy?  I realized that I needed to do some deep soul searching to find out why this happens and what can we do about it.

A Practical Guide To The Law Of Attraction

The Law of Attraction made international news with the release of the book and DVD, The Secret, along with the offerings of numerous other authors and motivational speakers. Although these concepts appear to be a new phenomenon, they are in fact, ancient teachings and have been utilized for centuries.

The Law of Attraction is a Universal Law

What this means is that it holds true under every circumstance or situation! Similar to the Law of Gravity, it is a law based on understanding how energy shifts, moves and responds under certain conditions. What is important to grasp, is that because it always holds true, we can trust it to work for us whenever we need it regardless of the situation. This is a powerful force to have behind us, and as we understand its simple concepts, we become empowered to change and create life to serve and support our happiness and fulfillment! Doesn’t that sound like something that you would like to learn more about?

A Tsunami of Sustainable Self-Love

While attending a local expo featuring “new age” products, I found myself in a reminiscing conversation…a “back in my day” rendition, while marveling at the incredible changes achieved by this alternative approach to life. Here we were, surrounded by multitudes of companies offering environmentally sustainable and life supporting products.

It was remarkable really, rooms filled with new foods, drinks, herbal remedies, practitioners and philosophies. As I scanned the heads bobbing amid a sea of people, I had this vision of a huge wave of a bright, GREEN, collective consciousness blanketing the room.

I was overwhelmed as a fresh awareness washed over me. There is a new paradigm upon us, but it is much more than new products, practitioners, and philosophies. What we are witnessing is more than new thought — it is an incredible wave of Self Love, a product of the collective consciousness of healing hearts. We are in fact, loving ourselves more. Our hearts and our spirits, have moved dramatically into the next phase of our evolutionary design.

Meditation 101

The benefits of meditation have long been recognized by both the religious and metaphysical sects of the world as a life-enhancing process that enables an alignment of the body/mind/spirit phenomenon.  These many benefits include, but are not limited to: physical, mental and spiritual health, with most of the emphasis being on the mental and spiritual health affects as more long standing.  Fortunately for us, medical science is starting to catch up and is finally also giving their ‘seal of approval’ while also acknowledging the potential physical health benefits as well.

So with world authorities in agreement, why does meditation still appear to be so elusive to our daily regimes? Knowing that such a simple process can have such positive effects, why aren’t more of us engaging in this practice?  Perhaps one of the answers is that we are so unaccustomed to helping ourselves, often abdicating our health and well being to others who we deem more knowledgeable, skilled, gifted or deserving.  However, I think that one of the reasons it has not yet become a daily staple for us all is that there is a misunderstanding about what meditation is and how it can be done!
