Reprinted from my Blessings of The Winter Solstice, 2008 post

I offer up this blessing:

Great and Eternal mystery, Great Spirit; God, Goddess, All that is; The Infinite Radiant Is. I thank you for this light and this life. For this beauty way. I thank you for this season of deep contemplation, reflection and retrospection. It is this time of season that offers us the opportunity to grow inwardly as we await the coming of the outward growth of Spring.

In this time of the short day and the long night, I give thanks for all that I have achieved this past year, and all that I will achieve in the new one. I offer up prayers and blessings of gratitude, and thanksgiving for the lessons I have learned; the relations of all varieties I have helped, and that have helped me to grow.

I thank you for this time of stillness so that I can once again hear my heart beat in time with the true rhythm of the Universe.

As we move forward from this Solstice day, I give thanks for the renewing energy that fills all of our lives with the mounting warmth of the new Sun and the new year.

In Gratitude; In Thanks; In Peace; In Wonderment; In Joy I say Ring Out Solstice Bells!

Brightest Blessings to all!

Ring Out, Solstice Bells by Jethro Tull

This is a small excerpt from my forth-coming book on energy meditation. Enjoy!

“The first thing that happens in any creative process, whether that process is designed to manifest something in your life or to change something in your life, is that a decision has to be made. You have to decide what you want, or want to change. This decision includes the parameters of what the change/creation will look like, feel like, etc. Nothing happens until you decide you want it to happen. Once you’ve made the decision and decided what the specifics of it are, then you can move on to the second step.

The next part of this process is belief. You have to believe many things in order to achieve what you’ve decided you want. You have to believe, first and foremost, that it’s possible. If you don’t believe it’s possible to have what you want, all the decisions in the world will not make it so. Secondly, you have to believe it’s ok to have what you want. You can believe it’s possible to have it, but if it’s not ok for you to have it, it’ll never happen. This includes believing that you deserve what you want. This is you giving yourself permission to have.

Then you have to believe that you can have what you want easily and cleanly. You can believe it’s ok to have it and that it’s possible to have it and that you deserve to have it, but if you believe you have to struggle to get it or that it’s hard to achieve, then it’ll take forever to get it and you’ll wish you hadn’t decided you wanted that particular thing, because of all the hassle and grief you went through to get it.

Lastly, once you’ve made the decision, and you’ve gotten your beliefs about it in order, you have to be willing to allow yourself to have it. Without the willingness to change, or the willingness to let yourself have what you want, you will throw up huge resistances to achieving it. This is where the fun begins, because now you get to look inside yourself and see what is blocking you from being willing to have what you want. What form is the fear inside you taking that is causing the blockage?

I’ve seen this over and over again in my healing clients, as they go through the process of deciding and believing and then not manifesting because they were not willing to either have what they want, or to let go of something they are holding onto that no longer serves them, or both. Once you can clean that up, and using C.E.M. will help you do just that, then you can be willing to allow yourself to have more and more of what you truly want and to make any and all changes that you’ve been wanting to make.”

It may take some time and some practice, but once you’ve gotten it down, you’ll become unstoppable in manifesting anything and everything that you want. So…

Make the Decision,
Have the Belief,
Be Willing to allow it,

And it is yours. =)

Bright Blessings,

I want to talk with you today about a great tool that I was taught many years ago. Like most of the techniques and processes that I’ve been sharing, it’s easy to do, doesn’t take much time and can be done wherever you have a few mintues to yourself.

When you use this technique, you’ll see exactly where you are at as far as your inner abundance is concerned, and you’ll begin to increase it. How much and how fast you increase it is up to you. With this tool, as with all things metaphysical, there is no limit.

To begin this process, make sure you are not going to be disturbed for at least five to ten mintues, if not longer. I find that fifteen to twenty minutes works for me the best, but your “time” will vary. Get into a comfortable seated position and ground yourself to the center of the earth. Make sure that you are fully in the center of your own head space, and that you are calm and relaxed. Ed. I highly recommend that you read my article on grounding, and that you are familiar with that technique, before attempting this one, as many of the processes I’m going to talk about are taken directly from that article.

Close your eyes and in your minds eye, I want you to picture a gauge in front of you. It can be any type of gauge that you want it to be with the only requirement being that it has to have numbers going from 0 to 100. This is your device that you will use to determine where you are at in your ability to give to yourself, whatever it is you want.

Once you have the gauge in front of you, see the number starting at 0. Now think of something that you want. An item, a situation, whatever. As you think of this thing, let the gauge begin to move through the numbers until it stops. Whatever number it stops at is the percentage level of your ability to give yourself that thing. Let’s say you want a new car, for example. You’d have that thought in your mind, and let the numbers move. If it stopped at 36, then your inner abundance to allow yourself to have a new car is at 36 percent.

Now comes the fun and exciting part. Obviously, 36% is not high enough to manifest a new car anytime soon, without a lot of struggle. So, give your gauge it’s own grounding cord. See that cord going from the gauge to the center of the earth. Now set the cord on release, and allow everyone elses energy to leave the gauge and go down the cord.

You may see the number increase just by doing that. Countless times, I have seen other peoples energy interferring with a clients ability to give to themselves. Now that the gauge is grounded, bring in a gold sun of neutral energy and fill up your gauge with it. This may cause the number to increase as well. If the number hasn’t increased to at least 90%, then you will move the gauge with your mind. See the numbers on the gauge moving higher. 40% – 60% – 75% and so on. Notice as you do this if you start to feel uncomfortable in any way. That’s your resistance/fear to allowing yourself to have that object or situation. If this comes up, simply forgive yourself and move that resistance down your grounding cord.

Continue moving the numbers higher until you get around 90% or so. Notice if it becomes harder to move the gauge or not. Sometimes it will, and other times it will not. If it does, that is normal, as your last bit of resistance will be highest when the percentage is at it’s highest on the gauge. When you can’t move the numbers any higher, or you hit 100 percent, see the gauge getting “locked in” at that number. You can visualize that in any way that feels strong and solid to you.

Once the number is locked in place, release the grounding cord from the gauge, create another gold sun of neutral energy, this time above you, and place the gauge inside it. Now bring that gold sun down inside of yourself and fill yourself up with it. Congratulations, you have now just increased your inner abundance by several factors.

This is an excellent method of granting yourself permission to have, do, or be, whatever you want. You can use this on literally anything you can think of. You may find that you have to check in with your new “permission gauge” several times for a specific desire, to keep the number at a high level, but once your consciousness gets used to the idea of giving yourself permission and allowing you to have, it gets easier and faster.

I look forward to hearing about your manifesting miracles from using this tool.

Bright Blessings!

We all know how powerful the Law of Attraction is and we’ve either seen, heard or had our own experiences of it in wonderful, positive ways. What I want to do here is give you an example of how NOT to use the Law of Attraction, and to show you in no uncertain terms, that the Universal Law of Attraction is completely neutral. From what I have read and heard from many people, it seems to me that the predominant thought is that the Law is “good” by nature, and that by using it, only “good” can come from it.

While you can indeed bring positive things, people, events, etc. into your life, you can also bring in disaster just as easily. In fact, even more easily, for we are all trained to be in fear and to believe the “worst” will happen, instead of focusing on the “best” happening.

The incident I’m about to relate happened to me, so I know whereof I speak. I also know all too well just how fast the Universe can respond! Whether it’s positive intention and vibes you are putting out or negative ones, the Universe does not care. It simply responds to the energy of your intention.

My first true experience of this type of intending was done in a very negative fashion. I had gone to the Star Trek convention at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. When I got there, I saw that the parking was $5! This was in 1985, and that was a lot of money to shell out just for parking! So, I got mad (read: afraid) and said screw that, I’ll park on the street. So I went around to the main street behind the hotel, parked my car, got out and popped 2 quarters into the meter. Just as I was about to turn the corner to go into the hotel parking lot and to the convention entrance, I said to myself (in full arrogant voice) “I dare anyone to break into my car! Grrr!@$%!!”

I then went and enjoyed myself at the convention. When I went back to my car two hours later to put in a couple more quarters, you guessed it, the car had been broken into, and everything stolen. I was stunned. I thought I had put up a protection around it, but no. That was an illusion. I had put my fear around it and instead of protecting it, I manifested getting robbed.

Needless to say, I learned my lesson right then and there! This is also when I realized the Universe is not picky about what it sends. It doesn’t choose, it merely reflects our energy back to us. The more intense the energy, the faster it reflects it back.

In the movie “The Secret”, Joe Vitale called the Law of Attraction a catalog that you placed your order with. Years ago, my friend Stuart Wilde said think of it as a great storehouse with everything in it, and it’s just waiting for your order. When he said “everything” he meant EVERYTHING! Everything and anything you can think of is availble to us. Any object, experience, person, all of it. Your choice. You decide, and it’s delivered.

Obviously, on that day, I had chosen to have the Universe show me what attracting fear and arrogance will get me. I lost my guitar and amplifier, a 24″ master recording tape my friends and I had just finished recording, (those were in the trunk) the car stereo, and everything out of the glove box. It was devastating at the time, and it took a couple days of introspection to sort it all out. Once I did, it felt even worse, because I knew that I had brought it about.

So you see, the Law of Attraction is completely neutral. “It” doesn’t care. “It” is simply our energy reflected back to us. If you put out positive energy, that is strongly intended, you’ll receive positive energy and very quickly. If you put out positive energy, but your intention is weak or wishy-washy, then you’ll get a weak result. You would not believe how fierce I was that day, internally shouting at the world. That is another lesson I learned. If you are powerful in your intent, it’ll show up quicker. You decide what you want and how quickly you want it.

Another thing to remember is that you have to be specific! The Law is neutral, and it doesn’t read minds. You have to tell it exactly what you want. Stuart used to say, “If you just say you want new shoes, you’ll end up with size 18 pink and yellow clown shoes with fuschia polkadots!” Remember, specific is terrific. Don’t be vague about what you want. Write it down, read it over, change it as needed, edit it so that it’s WHAT YOU WANT! Now, you can project that image with strong intent out into the energy of the universe, and it will respond.

The Universe and the Law of Attraction are neither “good” or “bad”. They simply are. In being neutral, they allow us to evolve as we decide. So, when things are not showing up as you want them to, look at the level of your intention. Look at the level of how specific you were in what you want. Do not berate yourself for it not happening as you first envisioned, but instead, forgive yourself and adjust your energy and vision accordingly. The more you do this, and do it from the same neutrality that the Universe shows us, the better you’ll get at it.

Deep Peace to you all,

“Tolemac”
