Have you noticed the speed with which things are happening lately?  It’s hard to keep up with all the activity let alone plan for the future.  However, if we don’t plan for a future by choice and intention – we end up in a default situation, which we might like or maybe not.

For example, Spirit has been whispering to me for some time that my beloved SUV would need to be put to rest sometime soon.  This was pure intuition and had nothing to do with vehicle maintenance issues or breakdowns.  My car was a trusty steed for 13 plus years and never once was I stranded due to a breakdown.   That in itself was amazing, but then I did some research to find a new engine for it and I found out that many people had serious issues with the same year, make and model – I was totally shocked to learn this!

But here is the hitch: in spite of my gentle guidance to prepare for a new vehicle, I clung to the old one and said prayers of gratitude every time I slid behind the steering wheel.  I loved the way the steering wheel felt, I loved that I could see over the engine from high above and out into traffic well ahead of me.  And I loved the color, the shape, the tinted windows, and that the back door opened wide enough to move a refrigerator.  I think you get my point – I was glued to this car!

Now you may have noticed I am speaking in past-tense.  Well, that is because our day of un-partnering has come, and although I was thick in denial up to the minute the engine blew out, now I am completely at peace with it.  The only problem is that I did not have a plan for a new vehicle,  I have no idea what kind of vehicle would make me happiest now.

I FORGOT to manifest, intend or even visualize my new car!

As a coach and teacher, I KNOW how the power of attraction works.  This is one of my favorite subjects to teach and I have oodles of stories of fabulous manifestations.  So here I am flummoxed as I try to imagine my next new vehicle and I have no idea other than that I really loved having a 5-speed transmission. Fortunately, one of the things I’ve recently committed to is a weekly teleconference which is focused on magnetizing all the good things we want for ourselves.   I’ve taught this class many times in the past and always find great pleasure in the weekly sharing of current miracles.  The inspiration to teach this class again was probably another gentle nudge from Spirit to get busy imagining my new car, but I was just stubbornly hanging onto my beloved steed.

The day that I said my goodbyes and final words of appreciation as I sent the car off with the tow truck, a friend gave me a ride back home and on the way, I remembered that my class was to be in 2 hours.  I would have to provide my students a pre-recorded exercise plan – one that they had asked for me to help them with weeks ago.  The process is shifting from where you are now to what your ideal life would look like.  There is no mention of what kind of car you would be driving in this recording – but you can always add that bit in if you are interested in a new car.  The irony is that my denial about needing a new car was so thick that I completely left it out of the visualization.  Lesson learned!

Please enjoy this brief visualization process, it is all about getting clear about what you would like to have happening in your life. The more specific you can see your ideal life – the easier it is for the Universe to align you to your new future in just the way that you like it best.

As for me, I’m shopping for cars and “trying on” different identities, it’s humorous to see what has shown up.  Do I go with the Darth Vader black shiny sedan or the silver metallic UFO like sports convertible? (which ironically was what I had planned to buy years ago as a second car), or will it be another SUV?

I’ll keep you posted on the outcome, in the meantime I’ll be listening to my own recording and visualizing like heck!

Won’t you please join me?

Ever wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Sometimes I don’t want to wake up at all, especially if I was in the middle of a juicy dream:~)

I created a recording to play on my ipod or iphoneas an alarm clock setting, it has some gentle reminders that I am a co-creator with Spirit and as I focus my intention I am creating.

I’m sharing it with you in case you need a little boost in the morning. It’s easy to record your intentions, add them into your itunes library and then create a playlist that you will set your Alarm Clock to wake up to. I got really into it and made the first 45 minutes of the playlist slow and rhythmic classical music to fall asleep to, I set the ipod on sleep mode and drift off. When I awake the next song in the playlist is my intention recording. If you don’t have an Alarm Clock that holds an ipod or iphone, you could just play it on your way to work or at the gym. There is no meditation or hypnosis so you should be safe to listen while driving. I hope you will be inspired and create one of your own, in the meantime feel free to borrow mine :~)

~Sometimes it also helps to imagine that you are working hand in hand with your guides, helpers, or angels from other realms, and that these helpers are there to serve you. They listen closely to your intentions and go scurrying throughout the far corners of the Universe, taking the thoughts and words that you have provided and then delivering them back to you down here on Earth in the forms and substances that you call third-dimensional experience. When you state your intentions in the present and envision them as if they have already occurred, you send the clearest possible message out to your helpers.~

Your joy walks with you every step of the way. You need look no further than that which is your own being. The world would have you think otherwise, and yet, what you do, how you think, and what you feel is entirely up to you. You are truly a magnificent entity with powers lying dormant and feelings, so sublime, ready to burst forth like a young flower which spreads its petals for the first time to greet the morning summer sun.
How long will you wait before you see yourself in your highest light and do what makes you truly happy? What will it take for you to open your heart and radiate outward the ocean of love which lies within you? You have been bound up too long, shackled to your fear, imprisoned by ghosts who are not real unless you make them so. The world needs you to be happy, to shine your light on all that you see, to laugh without limit, to touch the hearts and minds of every man, woman, and child who come your way.
Take a chance now and live life like you’ve always wanted. Envision yourself throwing off the fetters of fear, and calling unto you the glory that is yours by right of birth. Let your joy blaze like a fire in the night. That’s what the world needs from you.
And, more than that, that’s what you need from you.

This is a 13 Minute Chakra Meditation

Connecting with the Earth is a great way to reset your inner compass and to “ground” your electro-magnetic field this is what some people call your aura. As a Sedona guide, I have been asked for a recording of the mediation that I use to help people connect to the land here in Sedona. The meditation is brief yet effective. I hope you enjoy it.
