I realize I have been posting a lot about the law of attraction, goal setting, and synchronicity lately, the reason being it is a new year and I am stoked about creating and conjuring awesome things in my life! One of the top tools in my “manifestation handbag,” besides mind movies, affirmations, clearing space, and blissful living, is vision boards.

Picture of my vision board

Pictures are powerful. Creative expression is powerful. Combine the two and you have the perfect right brained activity to activate magic in your life! For example, a couple of months before David was born I created a vision board. On it I put a picture of a red car. I really desired a new eco-friendly car. Ours was 10 years old and frequently needed maintenance. Not to mention it was super loud when we drove on the freeway! A couple of weeks after making my vision board our car window broke. Remember, everything that happens, whether it is perceived as “good” or “bad,” is a blessing. Since fixing the window would cost more than our car was worth investing in, this incident convinced my practical husband (we balance each other out quite nicely) to trade it in for a new car. Yeah!! We decided on a RED 2008 Honda Civic with great gas milage (eco-friendlyish) and 4 doors (instead of 2). Just in time for baby’s arrival!

Would all this have happened if I didn’t set my intention and create my vision board? Probably not. The way it works is by placing your vision board in a location where you will see it often, your subconscious mind will absorb the images within it. Then when opportunities arise in your life to achieve the things depicted on your vision board, your subconscious mind will guide you to make the right choices and enable you to achieve these things. By making my vision board I saw a picture of a red car several times a day and envisioned myself owning one. Sure enough, within a month I did!

So how do you make a vision board and start living your dreams? It is as easy as one, two, three…

1. Collect and save your favorite magazines

2. Cut and paste pictures from these magazines onto a big posterboard. Make sure to choose pictures which invoke happy feelings and are representative of your goals and desires

3. Look at your vision board every day and watch miracles happen! Oh, and be sure to give thanks to God, to whom we owe gratitude for every living breath we take, for everything you receive.

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?” ~Matthew 7: 7-11

After writing my Power of Synchronicity post several weeks ago I recieved lots of positive feedback from my readers. Apparently y’all love hearing magical fairy tale stories. You know, the kind where you actually do get what you desire, kiss the prince, and live happily ever after. Let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like experiencing synchronicity. Like the time I decided I desired to take piano lessons and a couple weeks later found a business card for a local piano teacher in a raw food recipe book I checked out from the library. After throwing this business card away, I met the exact same piano teacher in one of my yoga classes who spontaneously asked me if I was interested in taking piano lessons. How did she know? After handing me her card I recognized it right away! Needless to say, I signed up with her and she turned out to be the most awesome piano teacher ever! That reminds me, I require to start my lessons back up again.

A few months ago, one of my friends put a hammock up outside on her land. It is tied between two pecan trees. I would go over there and enjoy a large part of my visit swinging in her hammock with David. What BLISS! How amazing it is to sway back and forth and look up at the clear blue sky and her beautiful pecan trees. David would nurse and nap and I would meditate. I made up my mind. I had to have one of these for myself! Soon after I wrote out a desire list and posted it on my fridge. At the top of my list I put my desire for a hammock. Mentally, I was trying to figure out how to make it happen. We didn’t have the right tree spacing to tie a hammock to, which I really desired, so in my mind I thought I would have to get a hammock with a stand. And because of our budget at the time I knew we would have to wait until spring to purchase one. I was bummed. This is the scary part of our fairy tale, when you don’t quite know if the heroine is going to have her happy ending. But, as fairy tales go, I was bound to come out strong.

My friend Courtney read my desire for a hammock just like hers. She likes to read everything I write down on my fridge, calendar, and notepads. I think my list making and note taking obsession amuses her. Anyway, she had received her hammock as a gift several years ago when she lived in Hawaii with her former partner. Her partner had received one as a gift as well. She called him and asked if he still had it. He did and it had never been opened! She picked it up from him and surprised me with it for David’s early birthday present!! I admit, I went a little insane…. squealing with delight, jumping up and down, and giving her several hugs in a row. In addition to bringing me a hammock, she brought a wood post so that I could tie one end to one of my trees and the other end to this post (remember how I preferred a tree hammock)! The post needed to be cemented into the ground and, synchonictically, our garage had a couple bags of pre-mixed cement, which I guess the previous tenant had left. So we were able to put it up right then and there! Within only a week or two of writing my desire down, it manifested! I was so happy! The next morning we went outside and enjoyed most of our day on our very own hammock! And we lived Happily Ever After!

The End

syn·chro·nic·i·ty n. the experience of two or more events which are apparently unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance which are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner

My experience with the power of synchronicity started in 2006, when I first became aware of the law of attraction and the ability our thoughts, emotions and words have to literally shape our reality. I had a difficult time accepting this at first. It seemed to contradict the beliefs I held about life, God, and the Universe. With further pondering, praying, and reading, however, I realized it didn’t go against my beliefs but only clarified and expanded what I knew and had experienced in my life thus far. In 2007, after my father passed away, I knew I needed to put the law of attraction to the test. I had to find out for myself if I could really create the life I desired, and if we as humanity could really break free from the chains that bind us and live happy and fulfilling lives. I decided on a handful of things I desired to manifest and put the 7 principles of manifestation to work. Within three months almost everything I desired had come to pass!! My husband was offered another job, “out of the blue”, which paid nearly double what he was making, we were able to go on a fun mini vacation, my sister moved back to Texas from southern Utah and my mom and other sister lived with me for over a month (one of my desires was to live near family, so be careful what you ask for;). During this time of speedy manifestation, a whirlwind of synchronicities occured and I felt so peaceful and close to God. I realized then that we are meant to create. We are meant to take hold of our thoughts, words, and emotions and direct them to manifest good and beautiful things. At this point I had no doubt in my mind the law of attraction worked because I had experienced it firsthand. Since then I have created many wonderful things in my life and have experienced hundreds of synchronicities.

For example, this week my husband started working from home. I have desired this since we were first married, but when my son was born the power of my desire became strong enough to make it happen. I wanted him home with us. I wanted him to watch David grow. I wanted him to have lunch with us every day. I didn’t like seeing David cry when Daddy drove away. And so, I vowed to manifest Bryan working from home before David started taking only one nap a day. I practiced the 7 laws of attraction and asked Bryan to look for an at home job. Bryan desired to work from home too but never felt truly motivated to search for a job until one day. On this day I knew exactly what to say… “Bryan, will you find a home job for my birthday? It’s the only present I desire. Pleeeease.” That night he found the job that was soon to be his!! Now here comes the synchronistic parts. First, this company has never had any employees who work from home before. They had only recently decided to give it a try and put an ad up right before Bryan saw it. Two, Bryan is perfect for the job! He has everything they were looking for and more. Three, they decided to pay Bryan 25% more than they would normally give someone in his position, plus he was given a signing bonus! (something I also desired). Four, we received a big bonus from his previous job a couple days before he put in his 2 week notice. Five, we had a week vacation in between jobs so we could have fun together and celebrate our son’s first birthday (another thing I desired). Six, my birthday is on December 1st so I received my present a few weeks early And seven, my son is transitioning to one nap a day! Perfect timing!!

My invitation for you today, on 11/11/11, is to set your intentions for this next year. Decide what you desire to create and put the 7 principles of manifestation to the test. Then record all the amazing synchronicities that are sure to follow. Enjoy your life! We are powerful beyond belief!

P.S. Do you have a syncronicity story? Please share it! I love to be inspired!!

2011 is here and I am super excited to see what this new year will bring my way!! But first, I must pay my respects to 2010. I have learned over the years that in order to bring more good into my life, I must digest, acknowledge, and be grateful for the good that has already come. 2010 was such an amazing year for me and so below I have posted my ode to 2010…

So much has changed for me and my blog will probably reflect my shift in interests. I will always remember 2010 as the year I had my first born son, took a massive leap closer to my dream of owning my own land and forest garden, balanced my healthy diet by adding in more herbs (daily infusions), fermented foods (filled with good bacteria), and animal products (raw butter, dairy, and eggs), and brought myself closer to my family by realizing how important family is!!

Ok, now I am officially ready for 2011!! Let the party begin!!

P.S. If you desire, please post your ode to 2010 below. What were your favorite moments? What did you learn? How did you grow? I would love to hear from you!

“Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.” ~Job 22:28

Last week I was talking with Bryan about the oil spill happening in the Gulf of Mexico. By nature I am a “problem solver.” If I find something I don’t like, I either learn to embrace it or take steps to change it. In this case I could do neither and I started to feel a sense of frustration, helplessness and hopelessness. I asked him, “What can we do when these crazy things happen which we feel we have no control over or ability to correct?” He then reminded me of the most basic and true way to take control of our lives and heal our planet. He said, “We Can Decree!” This immediately brought my power back and inspired me to make this empowering video for you….

A decree is simply any statement, aligned with your heart and said out loud with athority, which affirms your desired state is here now. For example, if you choose to decree for the situation in the Gulf of Mexico you could say something like… “I decree purity and perfection and cleanliness in the Gulf of Mexico and all surrounding areas. I declare all life in this area is healthy and thriving. I demand all manifestations and actions which are not in the divine plan be dissolved into their native nothingness. And so it is! Amen!”

In order for a decree to work, you must have complete faith in the power of your words. “For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” (Mark 11:23) It is relatively easy to decree for and change your personal life circumstances, however, when it comes to something global, it is important to unite with as many people as possible to pray, meditate, and decree for the best outcome. Even 1% of the population can dramatically shift our world circumstances. Check out whenonepercent.org to read studies done on the power meditation can have on reducing violence and war.

Prayer is another important piece, especially if you have strong faith in a higher power, a Heavenly Father and/or Mother who loves you and guides you. Just as when you were young you would turn to your parents for support, praying to your Heavenly Parents for strength, support, and the highest good for humanity is a very wise, comforting and healing practice. It teaches us two very important virtues…. Trust and Humility.

This fun decree below is very thorough and covers many different belief systems. I encourage you to embrace what you believe in and discard the rest or translate it into your own words. A lot of times you will find people use different words to describe the same thing. My point in putting this on my blog is to help you feel the power of a strong and focused decree… I hope you enjoy!

I invoke and dream awake the ascension of planet earth in this NOW!

P.S. Exciting news!! In this video I am now four months pregnant!!

Yesterday was such a FABULOUS day!! I finally manifested some of my big desires and here is how I did it…

If you are taking all the right steps, saying all the right affirmations, thinking positively and still not manifesting your desires, there may be a few things blocking your progress. First, you may feel “unworthy” on some level. Confidence and self-love are crucial to manifestation. Second, you may be holding on too tightly to a certain outcome. The law of “non-resistance” and “non-attachment” play a big role in how quickly you manifest what you desire. A Course in Miracles states, “infinite patience is the only thing that gets immediate results.” Third, it may not be the right time for you. I strongly believe in “divine timing.” More often than not, however, the reason for delayed results in your manifestation is from some sort of physical or metaphysical clutter, habit, person or situation you are tolerating which is blocking your good from flowing into your life.

I encourage you to take a good look at your life; physically, emotionally, mentally, and in your relationships. Do you have something that is not aligned with your higher aspirations? If so, let it go. The results will be more than worth it!!

“It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exiting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power” ~Alan Cohen

Today I am going to talk about one of my favorite subjects of all time… Alchemy. The practice of alchemy has been used for thousands of years by many ancient cultures. Physically, it is the process of turning lead into monoatomic gold; spiritually, it is a metaphor for turning our leaden human experience into spiritual gold. In my opinion, our “leaden human experience” is what Eckhart Tolle calls our Pain Body. It is the part of us that suffers. It is our pain, our anger, our fear, our depression, and our grief. Our pain body is a fragmented part of who we are; it is our dark shadow which has taken on a life of its own.

E.J Gold, Author of The Human Biological Machine as a Transformational Apparatus, writes, “Originally, the meaning of virtue was that the noble aims and aspirations of the essential self had reached down through the mental apparatus and rooted itself into the deepest part of the machine and that the aims and aspirations of the deepest darkest part of the machine had in fact become the same as those of the essential self.”

Before we can reclaim the energy of our pain body and transform it back into our light and life force, we must surrender to it. We must allow ourselves to fully experience and express our pain in a very present and conscious way. We must learn to celebrate our darkness. This may seem counter intuitive, yet, the more we avoid our pain and push it away, the larger our pain becomes and the more control it has over our life. Many people who are aware of this will try to just observe their pain consciously when it comes up, thinking this will transform it. The drawback to this theory is that they are not really embracing their emotions. They may be allowing them, but are they really saying YES to how they feel?

For those who have years of built up longing, suffering, sadness and despair, I suggest another technique. I suggest you dance for your longing; dance for your pain. Give your shadow expression by moving it into being… scream, rant, rave and roll around, allowing yourself to fully express your deep despair through your physical body. Allow your feelings to flow through you with every movement you make while playing music which expresses how you feel inside. Real change doesn’t happen in your head, real change happens through love and when we are rooted in our body. Dancing encompasses both of these things and will help you experience a true pain body release.

Music and dancing help you access your right brain. According to Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor author of My Stroke of Insight, “our right mind is spontaneous, carefree, and imaginative. It allows our artistic juices to flow free without inhibition or judgement. The present moment is a time when everything and everyone are connectd together as one. To the right mind, no time exists other than the present moment, and each moment is vibrant with sensation.” By embodying, through your dance, and accepting your feelings completely in the present moment, you will naturally transform. It is at this moment you will become an alchemist. You will see the divinity and perfection in all that you experience. Once your feelings are seen, loved, expressed, and acknowledged, they will melt back into you and shine through you as your light and life force. You will feel enthusiasm for your life again and peace in your body.

“Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat, your breathing. It’s the rhythm of your life. It’s the expression in time and movement, in happiness, joy, sadness and envy.” ~Jaques D’ambroise

To me, every New Year’s Eve is a special time to reflect on and give thanks for what I have accomplished in the past year and also make new year’s resolutions and renew my commitment to create the life I truly desire. Today I have five tips on how to set and accomplish your goals this year. These principles were inspired by my sexy sister Amy, who used them to train her dog. If you are a Dog lover you will also love this video…

Tip #1: True Desire Produces Results. Make sure the goals you set are really your goals. You might be surprised at how many times you set a goal that is actually someone else’s expectation for you or something to feed your ego and help you “fit in.” If you are setting the right goals for you, you will feel excited, inspired, and giddy when you think about them. Eliminate any “shoulds” from your list. Set goals that are personally profound for you.

Tip #2: We Are Creatures Of Habit. Our daily habits create our destiny. Our consistent actions are what make us and create us. Even those who think they don’t have a routine, have a routine. I encourage you to use your daily routines to accomplish your goals. I have a morning and evening routine which incorporate actions that help me achieve my goals. For example, one of my goals is to stay fit, so every morning I do rebounding and every evening I do yoga. I also have a goal to keep my home clean so in my morning routine I make my bed and clean my bathroom counter and in the evening I do dishes and invest 15 minutes picking up clutter. These actions are part of my daily routine. I also have a 1 1/2 hour “business routine” in which I do online marketing. This helps me achieve my financial goals.

Tip #3: Stay Focused. After you have determined your desired outcome and started taking action toward your goals, it’s important to stay keenly aware of the results your actions are producing. Let go of being “stuck in your ways.” If you aren’t achieving success with your actions, change them. A flight pilot is “off-course” about 90% of the time and yet she always reaches her destination because she does what is called tacking.. or constantly readjusting her direction.

Tip #4: Focus on your strengths. We are all born with special talents and abilities and a personal mission that no one else can fulfill. Instead of focusing on what you “can’t” do, focus on what you CAN do. This is where your power lies. Focus on what brings you joy and you will be living the life you are meant to live.

Tip #5: Anything is Possible. Stop putting limitations on what you can do and when you can do it. If we have a desire for something, I believe we have a sacred responsibility to fulfill it. We are meant to THRIVE and shine our light in this world. We are meant to achieve great things and be an example of what is truly possible!

May this be your most Amazing, Blissful, and Love filled year ever!

One of my passions in life is being in nature and foraging for wild food. I love how much I have learned from my foraging adventures. Nature can teach us so much about life, flow, and abundance. I often times find an abundance of FREE food all around me, such as these tasty persimmons…

Just like in the video above, there truly is a plethora of abundance and happy surprises all around us. First it takes knowing what you desire, and then it takes believing you can have it. Those persimmon trees were there for years before I “discovered” them. I didn’t “find” them until after I became excited about foraging my food! And just like the wild reishi “magically” showing up (for those of you who are unfamiliar with reishi, it is a Chinese medicinal mushroom tonic with very nourishing, strengthening and healing properties… It was consumed by emperors and noblemen for centuries), when we have fun and go for what we want, good things will follow:)

“Life is what you make it so lets make it ROCK!” ~Hannah Montana;)

In my experience, when I desire to change anything in my life, whether it be my health, finances or relationships, it all starts with changing my MINDSET first. This concept has been stated over and over again, but it is soooooooo true and worth repeating… Our mindset really does determine our success. There is definitely a difference between the mindset of a poor (wo)man and the mindset of a rich (wo)man. The mindset of those who fail and those who succeed. Watch this video below as Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, explains the mindsets of the 4 different kinds of people who make up the world of commerce…

When we switch from an “employee” mindset to a “business owner” mindset, even if we have a “job”, we automatically give up the need for safety and security from the outside world. Instead we are willing to take “risks” and enjoy life as the adventure it is meant to be. We are both in control or our destiny and part of a team, and we constantly exercise the power of one of our greatest assets, our MIND! In my opinion, the point is not to BE a business owner (unless you feel called to), the point is to take a stand for our life and to do what we ENJOY doing! Instead of “working” for money, we have money working for us. It is truly possible to be successful in any part of the Cash Flow Quadrant. The question to ask yourself is, “Are you sacrificing your time and joy for security and money?”

Steve Bodansky, author of Extended Massive Orgasm states, “The highest level of human awareness, which can be called enlightenment, nirvana, or oneness with the universe, is the one at which you take total responsibility for everything… The lowest level of human awareness is the one at which you refuse to take responsibility for anything. Everything happens to you by luck or chance. You are a total victim.” I once heard a story of a man who started working for a company he loved and acted as if he was the owner (he claimed full responsibility in his mind), eventually he became a partner in the company! The TRUE Mindset of the Rich and Famous is a desire for freedom and a willingness to take full responsibility for your life. Which mindset do you choose today?
