The Ultimate Manifestation

Tele-Series !

Dear Energy-Minded Individuals, Manifestation Students,
Spiritual Seekers, Law of Attraction Devotees, and Fans of
“The Secret”…

Do You Long to Shift from Wanting and Wishing
to Actually LIVING and HAVING
the Life You Desire?

3 F.R.E.E. Powerful Tele-Classes Show You How!

Do any of these scenarios sound or feel familiar… maybe too familiar?

• You can see your dreams. Taste them, smell them, feel them…, but no matter how close they seem, they still remain just out of reach…
• You wonder why dreams come true for other people, but not for you…
• You’ve been an A+ student of all things metaphysical. You do your visualizations, affirmations, collages, and read all the Law of Attraction books, but still NO RESULTS…
• You know exactly what you want, and are more than willing to do the work, but just don’t know where to begin… (or maybe feel too overwhelmed)
• You’ve successfully manifested certain “easier” dreams, but the big, closest-to-your-heart dreams still elude you…
• You are still searching, longing, and yearning for that “special missing puzzle piece” that will finally turn everything you’ve worked for into reality…

If any of these experiences are familiar to you, you are not alone, and there ARE solutions that make ALL the difference!

And so, read on at your own risk. For I am about to talk about the metaphysical practice of “minding your own business.” Taken out of context one may judge this harshly in any number of ways. However, correctly understood, the practice of minding one’s own business can not only be personally liberating, but it can foster peace in relationships and in the world, and can be a creative catalyst for the betterment of society.

The Problem:

Most people walk around thinking that in order to feel better and to solve problems they must CHANGE the people, situations, opinions and circumstances around them. Wrong. From a Law of Attraction perspective nothing outside of us creates or perpetuates the problems. The only thing that creates your reality is your consciousness. So, if you put a lot of energy into changing your external world, you are telling the Universe the following:

a) My well-being is contingent upon external circumstances.
b) The Source of my well-being is outside of me.
c) John Doe is the cause of all of my problems.
d) I will remain unhappy until things change.

Because like attracts like, your BELIEF in all of this, will make it so. Consequently, you will remain a victim to circumstance until circumstances change. This is bad news. But worse is that nothing will change as long as your attention is on all that is wrong. Since like attracts like, if you focus on wrongness, you get more wrongness. A no-win situation wouldn’t you say?

The Solution:

When you take your nose out of everyone else’s business, and mind your own business, you’ve essentially broken out of your self-imposed prison of victim-hood. What does it mean to mind your own business? It means that you take that finger you were pointing outwardly and point it back at yourself with a single-minded intention to cultivate and nurture a mind-set of openness, receptivity, willingness and possibility. THAT is YOUR business. And THAT is where ALL of your power lies. Here are some tips to help you mind your own business:

When your external world feels negative, scary and overpowering…
contemplate the TRUE nature of Source Energy. Source is everywhere present and infinite in goodness, love, well-being and abundance, beyond human understanding. Make it your top priority to study and immerse yourself in this concept.

When you find yourself judging a person or situation negatively…
say to yourself, “I suspend judgment. It is what it is. It is not good. It is not bad. It simply is. And I remain open to the Infinite Good that is present right here and now.”

When your beliefs have you convinced that there is no other way…
surrender your limiting beliefs to the highest good through willingness and choice. Say to yourself, “It may or may not be true that this bad economy makes finding a job difficult, but I CHOOSE to believe I can find a job easily.” “It may or may not be true that this bully has power over me, but I’m willing to remember, that Source is my ONLY Source, and this person has zero influence over my experience.”

As you practice letting other people, places and situations off the hook, and remember that your creative mind has ultimate power over that which you allow into your life, THEN you are free! Release the desire to mind other people’s business. You have little power there. Mind your own business instead and watch your power to change your own reality, as well as that of others, unfold in ways you never imagined!

There I found my tribe!  A group of like-minded and like-hearted spiritually-oriented entrepreneurs who seek to live their higher-purpose as changed agents, while exemplifying that one can give, serve and help others  WHILE being personally successful and fulfilled.  As a matter of fact, people who want to help others MUST be really good at with regard to self-care, finances and everything else.  Why? Because if you sacrifice your own well-being in the name of helping others, you can’t help others very well for very long, can you?  If your business isn’t profitable, if you can’t pay the bills, if you’re doing everything by yourself and that costs you health and time with your family… aren’t you defeating the purpose?

So, I invested in myself and my work by joining Lisa’s SASSY Mastermind Group.  SASSY is a play on Sasevich AND S.A.S. which is what we learn about: Sales, Authenticity and Success.  You see… one of the things spiritually-oriented professionals struggle with is how to share what they do, get paid appropriately WHILE remaining authentic and not feeling “salesy”… hence, SASSY!

Anyway… as a result of joining this mastermind, I’ve now begun to meet an extra-ordinary group of people.

I just met Veronica Karaman on our forum, and in a short time she has really impressed me!  Veronica offers a unique and eclectic blend of expertise: life coach, professional golfer, minister and relationship healer.  In getting to know her I learned of a free tele-class that really helps people absolutely have a different a positive experience with family members over the holidays.

After reading about her story and only listening to half of the audio, I KNEW I needed to let you know about it. 

This resource is a gem and Veronica teaches from personal experience and a wonderful well-spring of wisdom.

Excerpted from “The Attraction Distraction: Why the Law of Attraction Isn’t Working for You and How to Get Results – Finally!”

“However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act upon them?”

— Buddha

The path of service is a powerful, beautiful and meaningful one for expansion. Service is all about giving. It is powerful because giving, like gratitude, expresses the high vibration of: “I HAVE and I AM.” When you give, you express the vibration of: “I have love to give, I have time to give, I have talents to give, I am loving, I am generous, I am valuable.”

Many transformational experiences can unfold through being of service, if you have the correct intention behind the service. In order for service to contribute to your expansion, you must enter into service willing to give generously. You must give without expectation of anything in return, give for the sake of giving, give without thought of yourself, give without strings attached, and give without keeping score regarding what you’re getting back. The quality of giving is not in the amount you give, but in how you are being when you give. As Mother Teresa taught us, “It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.”

Because giving expresses the I have and I am vibration, it is guaranteed that you will receive much through giving. The Law of Attraction makes it so. The irony is, it sounds contradictory to say in the same breath, “Through giving you will receive,” and, “You must give without any thought of yourself.” The key is this: It is one thing to have your desires motivate you to give, and an entirely different thing to give as a way of getting. If self-interest motivates you to be of service, great! “Yahoo!” for self-interest. Self-interest and ego are great motivators, after all. But once you’re motivated to give, then let yourself learn how to really give! Know it is in fully surrendering yourself to the experience of service that you will be transformed.

The possibilities for growth through service are many. If you’ve never before given selflessly, you will awaken and discover a part of yourself that you have never before experienced. Giving freely opens the heart so you may experience love in ways you’ve never known. If you’ve never given selflessly before, or have only known survival, self-interest or obligation, it is likely your ego or your wounds have played a big role in your life. When you start to give, and stretch to be of true service, your ego and your wounds will be revealed to you. Giving helps you integrate your ego. Giving helps you heal yourself. Your ego would have you believe that, in giving, you will lose the thing that you give. However, through service, you discover you are filled and blessed by that which you give. Being of service will reveal limiting thoughts and judgments – about yourself, about other s, about life and about the nature of the Universe. Once you uncover limiting beliefs, you then have the opportunity to challenge them and determine the deeper truth available for discovery.

Being of service will also activate the manifestation vibration. Again, the seeming contradiction appears: “If I’m to be other-focused, of selfless service, why should I care about man¬ifesting things in my own life?” The truth is, once you really get it about service, manifesting things will no longer become the motivating factor it was. Instead, you will manifest your de¬sires as a natural by-product of living a life of giving – where your consciousness consistently expresses the vibration of I have. Things you want and need will simply come to you, with little effort.

And so it is with the path of service. If you give freely, you will expand. You will discover and tap into all the unseen abundance that lives within you. You will circulate it freely, and it will come back to you multiplied.

Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is Hatred, let me sow Love.
Where there is Injury, Pardon.
Where there is Doubt, Faith

Where there is Despair, Hope.
Where there is Darkness, Light,
and Where there is Sadness, Joy.
O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Anyone who follows my journey with the Law of Attraction, metaphysics, and manifestation probably understands by now that I’m one of those people who can’t just accept the principles and teachings without understanding WHY they work. 

It has never been enough for someone to say, “practice gratitude.”  I needed to know WHY that was important.  What’s the underlying vibration of gratitude which, from a “like attracts like” perspective causes us to experience more fulfillment, abundance and well-being?

Same with: write and say your affirmations as if it is your reality NOW.  Not in the future.  Not from a place of “wanting.”  I couldn’t just “follow” the rules.  I needed to know WHY.  What is the vibrational difference?

Most recently, I’ve been delving into the vibration of FORGIVENESS.  I’ve been hearing about the power, importance and transformational magic of forgiveness for as long as I can remember.  But I had never really heard many teachers talk about it from a vibrational point of view.  WHY does it work? 

Well… I’m starting to get the answers I’ve been looking for, and will be sharing my thoughts in posts to come.  Until then though, I thought I’d share with you something to take in as you contemplate forgiveness in your own life.  I’d LOVE to hear about your thoughts and experiences with forgiveness.

Check out the video above and Azim’s book (link below).  I read a few excerpts on amazon.com and was hooked.  I ordered the book for myself and a friend who is going through a very challenging time. 

• The Secrets of the Bulletproof Spirit: How to Bounce Back from Life’s Hardest Hits by Asim Khamisa and Jillian Quinn

May your heart and life know the freedom, love and light of forgiveness.

I am compelled now more than ever to find a way to serve and the Universe has been sending me ALL KINDS of inspiring ideas about just how to do that.  I’ll be talking to my mentor/coach this week to run things by her and do more brainstorming and will keep you all posted.

Choose YOUR Reality! tm

I did a lot of things “right” in caring for her and caring for myself while I was caring for her.

I slept.

I ate.

I asked for help.

I received help.

I’d set intentions.

I’d meditate.

I’d exercise when I could.

I’d read helpful books.

I’d open my heart.

I’d set boundaries.

I’d feel my feelings……

And yet, the one thing I couldn’t do was ELIMINATE the fact that my mom was battling cancer and I was her caregiver.  It was among the hardest things I’ve ever gone through and it was stressful no matter how you sliced it.  I would have LOVED to create a very different reality, but hard as I might, I couldn’t.  I wanted control over everything and I had control over nothing!

As I find myself unwinding, I find myself experiencing S-P-A-C-E in my life in ways I haven’t for a long time.  Space to be.  Space to have nothing vying for attention in my brain.  Space to be spontaneous.  Space to rest.  Space to catch up on the mundane.  And in the space, I’m feeling things I haven’t had the space to feel in a long time.  Loneliness for one.  I realized the other day that I have no social life.  And I haven’t for a looooong time.  So, with that awareness, I’ve become clear about some new intentions.  To reconnect with friends and make new ones.  What a happy thought!

Anyway, I digress… what I wanted to share is that in these spaces, I reconnected with an important Law of Attraction concept.  And it relates to one of the biggest distortions out there.  It goes something like this:  Just because we’re told that we “create our reality” does NOT mean that we get to CONTROL our reality.  We don’t. 

Just like we don’t get to control what the economy is doing, what world leaders are doing, what the weather is doing, or what our loved ones (or enemies for that matter) are doing,  we also don’t get to control how blessings manifest in our lives, small and large, how miracles occur, or how the Universe orchestrates things better than we could ever imagine.

Creating our reality is about CHOOSING how we will RELATE to what the Universe is giving us at any given moment.  There will always be events and conditions we’d rather NOT experience.  Our power, however, is not decided by whether or not we can determine a certain outcome (i.e. get control over the situation). 

Instead, our power as co-creators comes from…

1) ACCEPTING what is (i.e. releasing any resistance that might give an unwanted situation more life)

2) SUSPENDING JUDGMENT (i.e. rather than labeling something as “bad,” we tell ourselves, “It is not good, it is not bad.  It simply is what it is.”)

3) REMAINING OPEN AND TRUSTING THAT THERE IS GOOD HERE (… because Source is ALL-GOODNESS and Source is All-That-Is.  Therefore there MUST be GOOD here.)

4) ALLOWING THE GOOD TO BE REVEALED… and when it does…

5) GIVE GRATEFUL THANKS!

THIS is how we create our reality!

Choose YOURS – okay?

Wow!  I’ve been getting such wonderful feedback on the interview I did with Constance Arnold, host of “Think, Believe, and Manifest”.

I have to admit, I was perspiring a little by the end of the show.  Lots of GREAT questions from Constance with NO commercial breaks.  If you want a high-content hour of Law of Attraction technology, this program is a must-listen.  We talked about…

• What is the Law of Attraction?
• Why talk about God?
• What is the soul?
• Success with the Law of Attraction is not about the techniques.
• How to create affirmations that really work.
• How to identify what you want.
• How to become a vibrational match for your desires when “reality” conflicts with your intentions.
• The difference between motivational and metaphysical.
• Gratitude, Service, Life Purpose and more!

Most of my clients, new and long-standing, are seeking support around work and money.  And, as scary as this may be for some if not most, I can see the spiritual writing on the wall.  I wish I could find Carolin Myss’ exact quote from “Entering the Castle,” but it goes something like this, “It is in times of greatest chaos for humanity that we experience greatest spiritual evolution.”

Personally, that’s what I think all of this economic challenge is about.  What used to work, doesn’t work anymore.  No longer can people continue to believe the lie: that our source of money or well-being comes from our physical reality.  It simply is not the case.  Our money does not come from a job, a paycheck, a client, a sale, an alimony check, a tax refund… these are ONLY CHANNELS.  Our money comes from Source, Divine Spirit, God, The Infinite, Creator (choose whatever name works for you).  There is only ONE SOURCE and infinite channels.

And the way to find peace, the way to find freedom, the way to ALLOW the infinite abundance that is not only your spiritual birthright, but the NATURE of life and the Universe – is to

~understand this truth,

~study and learn the basic fundamentals of prosperity, and

~practice the principles for the rest of your life.

I’m not saying it is necessarily easy, but do you have a choice?  That’s the big question people are facing today. 

“What are my choices?”

a) Keep looking for a job, or a bank mortgage company, or the government to save me (Hmmm, these aren’t very reliable or encouraging options these days…)

OR

b) Lift my eyes to see higher truth… (Well, this feels really foreign, weird and unfamiliar, but…  what else can I do?)

All you have to do is put yourself on the path.  You’re not going to “get it” overnight.  It takes time and persistence to integrate spiritually-based prosperity principles into your psyche and soul at a cellular level.  But don’t let this discourage you.  The good news is that if you’ve been caught up in the things of this physical world, chances are good that you are operating from a WHOLE BUNCH OF RESISTANCE.  But, when you shift your attention even just a little bit.  When one new idea gives you just a bit of hope.  When one new understanding helps you to let go of one layer of fear.  When you finally take your attention off of one cause of worry and REDIRECT IT to new possibility – THE SHIFTS YOU EXPERIENCE CAN TRULY BE FAST AND REMARKABLE.

Where to begin?

Here’s a starter list of some of my favorite resources to begin learning, understanding and practicing spiritually oriented prosperity consciousness:

The Abundance Book by John Randolph Price (includes 40 Day Prosperity Program)

The Dynamic Law of Prosperity  by Catherine Ponder

The Emergency Handbook for Getting Money Fast – by Carole Dore

The Intensified Prosperity Workshop – by Carole Dore

1. You CAN make money doing what you love, and
2. Even if your higher purpose is NOT expressed through your work, simply knowing and owning your higher purpose will increase your abundance.

Why? Because money doesn’t come from a job, a paycheck, or a client. Money comes from one place and one place only: Source Energy. There is only ONE Source and infinite channels of abundance. And the more you can let go of your attachments and ideas about where money is "supposed" to come from, and truly open up to Source Energy delivering its infinite flow of abundance from anywhere and everywhere, THEN you’ve really begun to awaken to your true nature. It isn’t that you are meant to be prosperous. The truth is that you ARE prosperity itself. This is because there is no separation between you and Source. You ARE Source. You ARE that drop of water that is ONE with the ocean. You’re still the drop of water, but you’re also the ocean.

Your soul is the broader aspect of you that is connected to Source Energy. When you are living your purpose, you are living from your soul’s truth – fully awake and fully expressed. In other words, Source Energy is flowing through you and your life freely and abundantly. Source is All-That-Is. So, when Source Energy is flowing freely, it means that health, wealth, freedom, joy, peace – all of it – is flowing freely. However, when you are not fully owning your purpose there are usually two possible reasons: Either you’re asleep to who you are, or you’re resisting some part of yourself.

Perhaps you never knew enough to ask. Who am I? What is my purpose? If this is the case your soul may not be shining through because it is lying dormant. Maybe you are simply going through the motions; being the You, you were groomed to be, or being the You who is a product of his or her environment. Perhaps you’re afraid to be who you really are, or you judge some part of your as bad or unacceptable, or you think you can’t be who you are because you need to pay the bills. If this is the case, you are resisting aspects of yourself, which means you’re hindering the abundant flow of Source Energy through you and every aspect of your life.

Where does one begin? How do you know if you know and own your purpose? Well, it’s a bit like being in love. You’ll KNOW when you know. But here’s the thing, knowing and owning your purpose are two different things. Many people know their purpose, at least on some level, but are terrified to really own it. Sometimes they are afraid that knowing their purpose means they must DO something about it – right now! Or they simply don’t know how to go about expressing their purpose once they do own it. The great news is that you don’t have to do anything. If you know it, own it. The doing part will come later. And if you don’t even know what your purpose is? Either way, the solution is the same. BE WILLING to have your soul guide you. Declare to yourself and the Universe, "I’m willing to know and own my purpose. I’m willing to express my purpose for the highest good of all concerned." Then let it all go. Wait. Listen. And watch for signs. Your soul will guide you. It’s been waiting for you to ask all along.
