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

Here’s a situation I see fairly frequently with friends and clients who are new to the Law of Attraction and metaphysics in general. They tend to not fully understand manifestation and creation in regards to the Law of Attraction and how they are the major part of that manifestation.

When I’ve asked them “when are you manifesting and creating?”, most say that when they’ve created something “big” in their lives, whether it was a positive or negative experience, then that is when they were manifesting. They can see the evidence of the Law of Attraction and how it works in their lives, but their perspective is narrow, as they are only looking at these large events that have taken place.

This is not unusual. Most people only really remember the “big events” of their life. Those that have impacted them in a strong emotional way. Rarely does anyone recall or remember the small things that happen on a daily basis. Because we are not taught to pay attention to everything going on around us and inside us, we tend to let those small things drift out of our consciousness. I see this as one of the blocks to our spiritual evolution, and another reason why some people have a difficult time manifesting what they want.

Here is what I tell my healing clients and metaphysical students:

Everything that is in your life right now, you manifested. Everything that has ever been in your life, you manifested.

So what do I mean by “everything”? I mean exactly that. Everything. Every moment, every thought, every action, every feeling, every experience; you created for yourself. That’s what we are. We’re creators and manifestors. We have thoughts, which create feelings, which create desires, which create manifestations. By understanding that this is who we are and this is how we operate, we can now see that EVERYTHING we do is a creation and that it is all sacred.

Does this mean you have to acknowledge every minute thing in your life? Every thought, or feeling, or action, no matter how seemingly insignificant? Of course, you acknowledge everything, but you don’t have to examine each thing separately. You can if you want to, but that would cause you to not get much accomplished, as you’d be too busy acknowledging every breath, and every heart beat, etc. No, you don’t have to go to that extreme, but you do have to acknowledge, in general, that you are the one manifesting all of these things going on, and to be grateful for them in your life.

That said, I will tell you that the more you do acknowledge, appreciate and are grateful for the smaller events and experiences in your life, the more positive experiences you’ll create for yourself. This is the main principle of the Law of Attraction. Like attracts like. As you become more and more grateful for all that is around and in you, more and more circumstances will be created that you can be grateful for.

What Is Your Perspective?

Another aspect to understanding manifestation and creation is knowing what your perspective is. To illustrate this point, let me give you my favorite example. If you are looking at a rose, then what are you seeing? Well, a flowering bush that we call a rose, that has certain colors and smells and other characteristics we find pleasurable, for the most part. There are the thorns, which are not pleasurable, but if we’re careful then we don’t have to worry about them. In the main, it’s a beautiful flower, and we enjoy it. 

Rose

Now what if you were a farmer raising daisies? What would your perspective be then, if you saw a rose in the middle of your daisy field? Now, that is no longer a beautiful flower to be admired for it’s color and scent. No, now that rose a weed. But wait a minute, it’s a rose. How can one of the most cherished flowers in history be thought of as a weed? From the perspective of the farmer, it’s easy. The rose is not where it “should” be, and it certainly isn’t supposed to be in the middle of the daisies.

This example can be applied to everything that you experience. Do you see how our perspective changes everything? To most, the idea of a single rose bush flowering in the middle of all the white and yellow of the daisies would be an interesting contrast indeed, but the farmer’s gone for the weed killer and a hoe. Once you recognize that how you see things determines your feelings about them, you can begin to change your perspective to one that is not limiting and negative. One of the fastest ways to do this is by acknowledging that you were the one who created whatever is in front of you to begin with.

This will give you an opportunity to re-examine your perspective on the object, person or situation and change it to a more positive one. If it’s something that is “perceived” as a negative, then forgive yourself, let the negativity of it go, and even if you can’t see anything particularly positive about it at the moment, at least get as neutral to it as you can. Once you practice this, you’ll see how your feelings and perspective changes about everything around you. You will begin to bring in much more positive experiences into your life.

By understanding that you create it all and that you have the ability to change your perspective, you will allow yourself to see more than you’ve seen before. You will give yourself a view of your life that is clear and uncluttered. You will give yourself a level of gratitude and love higher than you’ve ever experienced. In turn, your prosperity and abundance, on all levels, will grow tremendously.

Bright Blessings to you!

I’ve been getting some really wonderful and positive feedback from you all about the Declaration of Financial Independence post that I put up in January. Because of this, I decided to create a meditation, using the words from the Declaration and a theta metronome. This is a 20 minute meditation, with the metronome starting out first by fading in, then my voice coming in about 45 seconds from the start saying the complete Declaration. I did this to give you a few seconds to allow your brain to get into the theta rhythm by itself without any other influence.

The Declaration is repeated 9 times over the 20 minutes, then the metronome plays by itself for one minute, slowly fading out to silence. I recommend that you listen to this at least once a day, and to keep up with your schedule of reading the Declaration 3 times a day. Between the theta metronome, and my voice repeating the words over and over, you will really amp up your vibration for prosperity and financial independence.

Because I am using a metronome instead of a brainwave binaural beat to induce the theta state, you can use headphones, or your PC’s speakers. Either one will produce the same results. The theta state is from around 4 to 7 brainwave cycles per second, and is the state associated with deep relaxation, increased creativity and intuition, expanded learning and problem solving, it gives a boost to the immune system and helps with long term memory, along with the ability to program your unconscious mind.

As with any meditation, find a time when you will not be disturbed for at least 25 minutes, so that you can prepare before the meditation, and have some time after the meditation to return to your alpha brainwave pattern. Sit in a comfortable position, make sure you are grounded and in the center of your head. Start the track and relax with your hands on your legs, with your palms up. If you want, you can include a simple mudhra (a hand position used by many Eastern philosophies and religions) by connecting your thumb and middle finger at the tips.

While listening to the metronome, breathe easily and deeply in through your nose and out through your mouth. Don’t focus on the words being spoken. Instead listen for the spaces of silence in between the theta beeps. Hear the metronome in the center of your head, and allow yourself to become aware of the spaces of silence. This is a focusing tool that will help reduce the “mind chatter” that sometimes comes up when meditating.

And now, your Declaration of Financial Independence meditation…

Meditation

Enjoy!

Today, I want to talk with you about several key psychological, metaphysical, and energetic methods that you can use to help you to achieve whatever you want in this life. To my direct knowledge, none of these techniques are new, but you may just hear them expressed in a different way, and that may be the catalyst you have been looking for to start implementing them to improve yourself. I am going to write this in multiple parts, with this being part 1.

1. Write It Down, Get It Done

This first method is one that took me awhile to really apply in my daily life. I am always in “creative mode” in one form or another, and many is the idea that I let go because I wasn’t some place where I could easily write the idea down. Once I got to where I could write it down, the idea usually wasn’t as solid or I couldn’t remember parts of it. Very frustrating. Now, I try to keep a little notebook with me so that I can capture these ideas. The next thing is to get a waterproof voice recorder that I can take into the shower with me!

Ok, so aside from writing down ideas, what would you write down to help you to attain or achieve something? First on the list, I recommend you put down on paper exactly what you want to achieve. If it’s an item, describe it completely. Leave nothing out about how you want it to look, to feel, etc. If it’s a situation, then write how you want the situation to come about, and how you want it to flow, and how the resolution of the situation looks. Basically stated, create the beginning, middle and end of the situation. Remember, specific is terrific so be as specific as possible. Details are required to make it real in your thought pattern and energy. The more real it seems, the faster you’ll manifest it.

“The Point of Power Is In The Present Moment.” – Louise Hay

Always use the present tense when writing down your desires. If you use future tense in your words, you are pushing the thing you want out in front of you. Of course, there is an exception to this. The only words that I have seen work for some people that may be considered as “future tense” is saying something to the affect of “I’m in the process of…” It is sometimes easier to view your desire as taking shape, instead of being already formed, and if it feels better to you to say it that way, then do so. My only thing with this is that, to my mind anyway, you are going to have to wait on the desire, whereas using a strict present tense, you’ll manifest it quicker. But, that’s just me. As they say in the car industry, ‘your mileage may vary’, so use what works for you and be open to trying it different ways.

The next thing to write down is your goals. What do you want to do? When do you want to do it? How long do you want it to take to get there, and how long do you want to continue to do it? Again, make with the details, and be as specific as you can. If you don’t know about a certain aspect of your goal, don’t guess; find out about it. Do whatever research you need so that you have the best possible idea and vision of what your goal will look like. You can also write down as many goals as you want. Yes, you will be focusing on one or two at a time, but it’s better to have a few down on paper that you can look at and plan for. You always have the ability to modify these goals at any time.

One other thing about goals I want to mention. Some people will tell you to be realistic about them, especially with the short term ones. On the surface, that seems like sound advice, but I’ve seen many, many miracles in my life. I’ve seen people create situations that others thought were impossible, so I will not limit you in that way. The only thing that I’ll say in this regard is to be true to yourself. This brings me to the next method…

2. Anything Is Possible

After you have written down what you want, the most vital thing you can do to bring it about is to believe it. I mean this in all the ways that you can think of, to believe in it. The first thing is to believe it’s possible. Yes, it’s possible for you to attract, or manifest whatever is on your list. If you don’t believe it’s possible to have what you want, then it will never materialize for you. Ever. I don’t care how much you work, or how much money you save, if you can’t believe it, it won’t happen. Guaranteed. Something will always keep it from you.

Notice how some things come extremely easily to people, yet other things take them forever to achieve, if at all. That is strictly due to their limiting beliefs. Nothing says, “that can’t happen” or “that will never happen” or “that’s impossible” except ourselves. I cannot stress strongly enough how important this aspect of manifesting is. Without your inner belief that it is possible to create what you want, it will not happen. Believe, and you are one step closer to attaining everything. This goes right along with method 3:

3. Permission and Allowing.

You have to allow yourself to have it. You have to give yourself permission to have it. If you don’t allow yourself to have what you want, then no matter how much you believe it’s possible to have it, you are not going to give it to yourself. This is one of those ego trips we run on ourselves, because of feelings of unworthiness, and not being good enough. If you are dealing with this type of insecurity, it will block you from attaining anything that has any real emotional and spiritual value to you. You can tell if you have these feelings of unworthiness by what you do attract to yourself.

As an example, let’s say you want a new car, and you’ve been eyeing a new Mercedes that would be perfect for you. So, do you bring the Mercedes to you, or do you end up with a Chevy? If you got the Chevy, then I say hey, great job! You’ve manifested a new car, but it’s not the one you wanted. This type of situation is one way you can use to gauge where you are at with your allowing and permission. Look back over your life and simply notice when you allowed yourself to have exactly what you wanted and when you didn’t. There’s no fault or blame here, it’s just the way it was. Now you have tools to change it in your favor.

The other method I highly recommend you use to check out where you are at is the Prosperity Tool I showed you before. This will instantly tell you whether or not you are in a place energetically and emotionally to allow yourself to have your desire. By following that technique, you are telling the Universe, and more importantly, yourself, that you are ready to have it, you’re willing to have it and you’re allowing yourself to have it.

That’s it for today. In my next post, I’ll give you a few more methods to help you attract into your life whatever you desire.

Till then,

Bright Blessings!

Now that you are, hopefully, using the Prosperity Tool, I feel it’s time to talk with you about some more advanced grounding techniques. Again, if you haven’t read my post on grounding, I suggest that you read that first to get familiar with the basic idea and technique, so that you’ll understand what I’m talking about here.

In the Prosperity Tool post, I showed you how to ground your prosperity gauge, so that you can release any energy that is not yours from it, thereby increasing your personal level of prosperity, abundance and allowing. So, the question I get from most of my healing clients at this point is, “What else can I give a grounding cord to?” The answer is simple: Everything.

Everything can be grounded

On a daily basis, I ground my home, my computer, my car, the road I’m travelling; just to name a few of the regular ones. Because I’ve been doing this for 18 years, it’s become totally second nature for me to give items and people a grounding cord without any effort or thought. It didn’t take all 18 years to get to this level, believe me. It did take about 6 months of daily practice to get to the point where it became part of who and what I am, and since then the visualization of a grounding cord takes me about 2 seconds.

The next question I get asked is usually, “Why ground all these different things?” Well, the answer varies depending on what it is that you want to give a grounding cord to. I do this for my car, to keep everyone elses energy off of it, especially their “traffic paranoia” so that I’m not caught up in their accident patterns. I do the same thing on the road I’m travelling, to keep it clear of accidents ahead of me, and to help move the traffic along. For “road grounding”, visualize the road you are going to be on from your starting point to well past your destination, and give that entire stretch it’s own cord. This doesn’t take more than a couple of moments, and you can use a map if you’re not familiar with the route you’ll be on.

Grounding others and Non-infringement

This works wonders on crying babies. I get the most amazing looks and smiles from them. They’re so close to the Infinite energy that they just came from, and recognize when someone is there to help. I give them a cord and a psychic “hello” and they just giggle away. This has the same effect on barking dogs, though most animals are very well grounded on their own. It helps to eliminate the “owners” fear energy and gives the dog the opportunity to assess the situation from it’s own natural perspective, instead of through their “owners” stuff. Again, I get great looks from the dogs, as they see me with their own energy, usually followed by wagging tails and lolling tongues, wondering if I have a treat for them.

One thing I will say here, is that when I give a cord to a person, no matter what age, I ask them psychically for permission first. 99% of the time, this is greeted with a resounding “PLEASE!!” and I proceed. There is that 1% where I’ve gotten a “no thank you”, and left it at that. Non-infringement is mandatory here and it’s one of the tenets that Stuart Wilde was really adamant about in our training. Your offer of help and assistance is all you can really do. If they accept, then do what you can. If they reject it, then simply walk away. Remember, the key is being in neutrality and warm compassion for the person and the situation they find themselves in. There’s no judgement, and there’s no thought of trying to “save them”. That’s the ego talking, and it’ll get you into a ton of trouble if that’s the energy level you come from.

Advanced Techniques for Yourself

Now I want to tell you about some advanced techniques that you use on yourself. In my first grounding post, I showed you how to ground yourself at your first chakra. Along with grounding your root chakra and aura, you can also ground the rest of your chakras as well. Once you are at that place where you’ve set up your personal grounding cord, in your mind’s eye see it move up the interior of your body and have it attach to each chakra as it moves up. This is a powerful feeling. Having all of your chakras grounded at the same time allows you to release just that much faster.

Along with your chakras, you can also give your reproductive organs a grounding cord, and see it connecting from those organs to your main cord. This helps to relieve blocked energy and tension from those areas, and to get your female or male energy moving freely. Because we are sexually excited at all times, by our thoughts, the images we see everywhere, and the conversations we have or hear, this really brings an amazing amount of relief. Women, in particular, note how much better they feel when they use this technique on themselves. Considering the amount of sexual energy that is projected on women on a daily basis, this is not a surprise at all.

A grounded home, is a happy home

Giving your home it’s own grounding cord will not only help you, but anyone who lives in the same house. Along with doing the psychic healing with people, I have done a lot of home and office clearing through the years as well, and this is the first thing I do in that process. Simply locate the basic center of the space you want to ground, and place a cord there. If it’s your home, you can create one main cord in the center, and then have separate cords for each room, all connecting to the main one. I also ground my bed along with my bedroom. You are sleeping on it for 6 to 8 hours each night after all, and by grounding it and cleaning up the energy, you’ll get a better nights sleep.

If you work in an office type environment, give the building a main cord, and each office that you work in, or have to be in, it’s own cord that merges with the main one. I’d also have you ground your desk, chair and computer. I’ve done this for clients and have had them report back to me that their computer was the only one that didn’t get a virus that was going around the office, even though they were on the same network as everyone else. Nice.

As you can see, there are endless possibilities here. Look at the different aspects that you interact with in your life, and see what you think can benefit from having a grounding cord attached to it. Post your comments and tell us what you’ve grounded and how the energy changed. I’d love to hear your experiences and to answer any questions you have about this fun, easy and excellent process.

Bright Blessings!
