Manifesting My Heart's Desires

For a long time I have been reading self-development books.  I started reading these books when I was 21, I had just finished university - this is when my real education began - stepping out into the world - LIFE!  And in the last 10 years of my life I have experienced many HUGE life lessons - and I am still learning - learning everyday.

Like many people I enjoyed 'The Secret' - I read the book 4 years ago, I watched the dvd, I listened to the CDs.  I read it and thought that it sounded like a great idea - and yet it has only been in recent months that I have been a lot more focused on developing the skills of Manifesting My Heart's Desires.

A few months ago I had a wonderful conversation with a friend from the Clinic where I work - she is a Master of Manifestation.  It was around this time that I set the intention to bring my Magician Archetype onto the Stage in my life - I started this Process of learning Manifestation by Manifesting my Magician - by consciously inviting this Part of me to be more present in my life.

I started to read the great book  'Ask and It Is Given’ Esther and Jerry Hicks - this was a great book for me to read - I learnt a lot.  This book has so many wonderful words of wisdom, including:

- "... you came from a Source of love and well-being.  When you're matched up to that energy of peace and love, you then regain the power of your Source - that being the power to manifest your desires, to summon well-being, to attract abundance where scarcity previously resided, and to access Divine guidance in the form of the right people and the precisely correct circumstances."

- "there is nothing that you cannot be, do, or have"

The book talks about being in the right vibration - "The reason you have not already gotten what you desire is because you are holding yourself in a vibrational holding pattern that does not match the vibration of your desire."  Now this is a key part of what I read "Whatever you are giving your attention to causes you to emit a vibration, and the vibrations that you offer equal your asking, which equals your point of attraction.  If there is something you desire that you currently do not have, you need only put your attention upon it, and by the Law Of Attraction, it will come to you, for as you think about this thing or experience that you desire, you offer a vibration, and then, by Law, that very thing or experience must come to you.  However, if there is something that you desire that you currently do not have, and you put your attention upon your current state of not having it, then Law Of Attraction will continue to match that not having it vibration, so you will continue to not have that what you desire.  It is Law."

"Sometimes a person will say 'I'm not happy over here where I'm standing.  I would much rather be over there - over there where my body is not sick, or over there where I'm not overweight, or over there where I have more money or a better relationship'... We then explain that it is important to talk about what is believed to be 'over there' and try to find the feeling-place of what's 'over there'."

Since inviting my Magician on the Stage in my life I have been so Excited and Thankful for so many wonderful Gifts from God and the Universe.  There have been so many examples in my life recently of where I have been putting thoughts and desires out into the Universe and if by magic, so many things are appearing for me.  Recently, I had many thoughts about looking for Meditation Resources and Scripts and was Excited when one of the other girls from where I work, was talking about a great author and I looked at the books and found some great Meditation Scripts including one on building Self-Esteem, which a big area of interest for me, in terms of working with Clients.  I was also saying to My Man that we didn't have a song and it would be great to have our own song that we love - and I forgot about it (rather than searching for one) - and then one day when getting ready for work, they had a guest performance on 'Sunrise' and I loved the song - I showed My Man the 'youtube' clip - we found our song!

Just the other day I was planning to go to 'Peter Alexander' in the city (didn't have enough time in the end) and then the next day I was shopping locally and I was just about to leave and then felt Inspired to go a certain way in the Shopping Centre.  And then I was so surprised to see this new 'Peter Alexander' store - and I bought this great new pink and yellow nightie - my favourite colours, and even having yellow wattle on the nightie, I love wattle.

And a big one for me was when I put it out there that I would like to earn around $300 more per week and  I put it out there that I would be happy to take on more responsibility at work - within a few days a position was advertised at work, I applied and I was offered the job.  The great part of this job is that I will be able to bring more Coaching into the workplace.  And with some other opportunities I will be earning the extra money that I put out there to the Universe.

Also once I changed my vibration to being so Grateful and Excited about my current Clients with a trust that more Clients will continue to come to my Business, rather than focusing on the lack of a full diary of appointments, my Coaching Business has been building and I have been attracting new Clients - which I love!

Of course there is always the times when you think of someone you want to talk to or see and then you see them.  It can also work against you - I was talking at College about an ex-partner and all of the stress that it caused me - I really remembered the emotion of this chain of events - and to my surprise, I was checking my phone in the break and at the same time I received a call from this man - someone that would be unlikely to call me on a Saturday and who I hadn't spoken to in over 6 months.

I have learnt now to Consiously choose my thoughts and choose my vibration.

So how does it work - I am still learning and experiencing the power of Manifesting My Heart's Desires - I am not an expert - in fact that is why I have included so many great words of wisdom from 'Ask and It Is Given’ Esther and Jerry Hicks.  I do believe that in sending out the energy of what we desire, this connects with other energy in the Universe and draws that to us.  Likewise if someone sends something out to the Universe, this can also draw us in - like when people say "your ears must be burning" if someone is talking about you. - or just the other day I had the thought that I wanted to hear from my friend, and then realised that they had sent me an email - perhaps them sending out the energy, attracted in my thoughts.

I also believe that when we are very clear about what we want, the Universe, our Angels, God will bring opportunities into our awareness, send messages to us via our intuition.  I also love the Reticular Activating System in our brain - an example of the Reticular Activating System is when we buy a certain type of car or want a certain type of car, and then all of a sudden we see this car everywhere on the road - it has probably always been there - and now this is filtering through to our awareness.

When we are clear about what we want, and when we are totally relaxed and in the flow, we are going to notice and be drawn to that which we desire.

For me I have been practicing Manifesting My Heart's Desires by:
- being clear in what I want, consciously putting an order into the Universe
- feeling into the vibration - being positive and Grateful for all of the positive in my life and in this area of my life (a good step here is to use Visualisation and Imagination)
- letting go of the attachment to the outcome and having TRUST - I recently read about the Law of Detachment - “in order to acquire anything in the physical Universe, you have to relinquish your attachment to it” - it is all about TRUST - what is TRUST? TRUST - To Rely Unto Spirit Totally (I love this acronym - a great reminder to me).

I love this analogy that my friend shared with me about TRUST - which helps me a lot when Manifesting My Heart's Desires.  Consider you are at a restaurant with a friend and you look at the menu – there are a lot of nice things – you decide what you want – you order the fish – the trick is to TRUST that the fish is being prepared and will be delivered to you – and so you enjoy conversation and be PRESENT IN THE NOW with your friend (rather than sitting there wondering when it is going to arrive, asking the waiter when it will be here, thinking about it a lot, talking about it with your friend about when is the fish going to arrive) – the fish will come.

I love that 'Ask and It Is Given' talks about having your own unique desires and preferences and from this place, as we are unique, there is abundance for us all - once again we can just TRUST.

ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT BELIEF FOR ME is that I am also conscious that my Magician cannot work alone - I need all Parts of me to allow my Dreams to come true - other Parts of me such as my  Destroyer (to let go of what does not serve me), my Organiser (to help me with my Priorities), my Sage (wisdom for and from my Highest Self), my Creator (Action from Intuition).  My Innocence is very important, helping me work out what I truly want, what is at the Heart for me.   It is also important that I invite in my Caregiver to listen to and look after my Innocence, and also consciously bring in the presence of my Warrior to defend my Innocence and stand up for my Truth (and overcome any fears or doubts).

I imagine all of these Parts of me dancing together in Celebration as I live my Vision.

I Love Nature

Today I woke up to the view of a cockatoo sitting quietly on the corner of the roof of our unit block.  I am used to the loud screeching noise of the cockatoos, where there is one, there is many to be seen and heard.  And yet today this single cockatoo was just happily outside my window.  I felt that it was calling me outside for a Nature Walk.

I love being outside.  I Love Nature.  I've been enjoying some sleep ins in the last week, especially since I have been having restless nights and waking through the night.  And yet today it is an obvious choice to go outside for Exercise.

I head to one of my favourite places, Gunnamatta Park, a natural park by the ocean.

I just love the Trees.  Today I was thinking that I would love to be an artist to capture the beauty and energy of the Trees.  I would love to be an artist.  I love when my Soul Sisters from College showcase the art that they have created.  I love when I enjoy Art Therapy myself - just getting out my crayons and pencils, colours to capture my feelings and experience.  While to date, it does not appear that I am a natural artist when it comes to a canvas, I am open to Spirit to show me the type of art or colour that I can create, in my unique way.

I also know that I can be creative in other ways.  I would love to get back into photography.  I would love to take photos of the Trees, although I would love to be able to capture the energy on paper - hmmm... perhaps a photo and collage combination.  I also can't wait until I sew again (once I make some space in our home).  I also love writing.  For me it can be about the process and not the end result - and so I will also continue to get out my colours and play.

I love being at the Park.  It is quiet and peaceful.  I feel like I am in my Nature Goddess - Love and Connection with Nature.

I walk to one of my favourite Trees and I ask if there is any wisdom - it is interesting, I get a sense of the words "The answer is not in the Tree, it is in me" - perhaps just for today, as I do believe that there is much wisdom in Trees, in Nature.  I also feel that I do not have any questions - I do not have any questions where I am desperately seeking answers - I feel that I have so many answers - that my life is now simple.

There are two questions that have been entering my mind lately:
1. What would I do if this was my last day on Earth?
2. What would I do if money was not an issue?

Walking In Nature would be an answer to both of these questions.  I find myself loving being in Nature this morning and I hate when I see the time and know that I have to turn back and make my way home to get ready for work.  I could spend hours and hours in Nature, I Love Nature.  I would love to do Coaching out in the Park - perhaps Group Coaching - Sunrise and Sunset Sessions and Groups to Celebrate the Seasons.

If it was my last day on Earth and certainly if money was not an issue, I would spend a lot of my time outdoors, out in Nature, being out in Nature with my Loved ones.  I know that as My  Man and I look forward to having our own Family, spending time out in Nature is very important to me for our Lifestyle.

If it was my last day on Earth I would definitely spend all my time with My Man and My Family.  I am Grateful that this is the Priority in my life. When it comes down to it, Love is the most important to me.  And being in Nature.

If money was not an issue I certainly wouldn't be working my Monday to Wednesday job - this is just a job - this is not a Passion.  And yet I am Grateful for the people at work who are warm and friendly - I feel I am a part of the Community.  I am Grateful that I have found my Lifework in Coaching, I love Coaching.  I am open to the Universe sending me more Clients.  I Welcome new Clients.  I am ready for more Clients.

If money was not an issue, I would spend time in Nature, I would be Coaching, I would be spending time in Creation, I would be involved and raising money for children and communities living in poverty.  I would also be writing, I love writing.  I have some ideas for a book – I feel Inspired to write a book – I am following my Intuition.  I also feel guided to develop products that Inspire others to Spread The Yellow.

As I walk back home I love that I find two small branches of Yellow Wattle.  I love Wattle Trees.  I have a rule of not breaking off branches or flowers – however if I find a piece of Nature on the ground, I accept it as a Gift from the Universe.  I take one of the small branches of Yellow Wattle to work today – bringing the outdoors indoors – bringing Nature to my desk.

I love to get outdoors and have a walk during my Breaks.  Although I am in the suburbs and in an industrial area, I am Grateful for the small delights of Nature, the beauty in the Trees and plants that line the roads.  Driving home tonight I am also in awe of the beautiful sky – an amazing colour of deep pink and then turning to blue and Yellow.

Time for bed soon as I definitely want to get up and enjoy time in  Nature in the morning.  There is often the temptation to sleep a few more minutes and definitely press the snooze button one or two more times - and yet by having my Values and Vision Board posted on the wall in our bedroom, these bring my Spirit alive.

Channel My Energy

I am loving some of the Yang, Structured Processes that can be used for Coaching Clients and which I am using for College and as an opportunity to Channel My Energy.

After looking at my Ideal Scene in 5 years and then looking at my current Wheel Of Life - the next Process is the Energy Leaks Inventory.  As written in my College notes "Your energy is one of your most precious resources.  It's time to look at where it is all going... Anything that we find ourselves 'tolerating', whether we are doing so consciously or unconsciously (such as through habit), drains our energy system.  This is a simple yet powerful concept.  'Energy Leaks' is both an internal and external matter.  Whilst we ultimately hold responsibility for how we respond (or react) to life, we can also call upon our empowerment to change external factors and thereby plug up these holes in our system.  For example, every time we look at an in-tray of papers that need to be dealt with, we actually lose energy on the thought itself.  The 'Oh-no, I haven't done that yet' is an Energy Leak in our system."

Reading the "Oh-no, I haven't done that yet" resonates with me and I realise that this very internal feeling is definitely an Energy Leak for me time and time again.  I have been enjoying being more Yin than Yang since February this year and I have a more Yin Preference - and so I wanting to bring more Yang, more ACTION, more doing into my life.  I love the Energy Leaks Inventory as it gives me a list of Possible Energy Leaks and then I can list a Possible Solution or ACTION.

My Goal or Vision for myself is to feel a sense of Vitality and Freedom where I am Consciously Choosing how to Channel My Energy.

I love this Process where I identify my Energy Leaks and Potential Solutions, including (and not limited to):

MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH

After completing this Activity, I then move to the 'Tackling Procrastinations' Worksheet.  

I list down 5 things I have been Procrastinating about which are 5 of the Items from the above listing including: Yoga, Meditation, Ebay, Garage Sale + Superannuation.  I then rank their importance and also add in a date Commitment.   From a Procrastination List, I now have Specific and Measurable Goals - that are definitely Achievable.  And I feel Inspired to honour these Commitments.

I am also going to continually work on all of the SOLUTIONS of the Energy Leaks in my Life.  I am Committed to being the best I can be on a Personal Level, so that this will allow me to Channel My Energy into being the best Coach that I can be for my Clients.  By understanding the effectiveness of these Processes, they also offer the opportunity to be excellent tools for my Clients to help them on their Journey.

I am happy that I am making my Health a Priority - where I have been concerned that I ranked this at a 2 on my Wheel Of Life in terms of Satisfaction with this Area in my life.  Now that I am Walking more and as I have started Yoga, these are positive steps in the right direction.

In my Brochure I ask 'Do You Love Your Life?' and state 'SHINE Coaching Can Help You Put Your Dreams Into Action'.  And for me I also Choose to Honour these words and Channel My Energy to put my Dreams Into Action.  And even if I am not living my Ideal Scene, where I do not have a 10 out of 10 for every Area of my Life, I can Honestly and Openly say that I do Love My Life.  I am Grateful.  I am Blessed.  I am Loved.  I have Joy.  I have Choices.  Thank you God.  Thank you Universe.

My Goddess Dancing

It is rainy and cold and grey outside - and yet I feel happy, alive, Excited, Inspired.  I feel Joy!!!  I put on my music and I dance - I feel My Goddess Dancing.  I am in Celebration of a milestone for my Coaching Business - my first official Client since I officially launched my Business.

Today I worked with my new Client and I loved being in this space.  It is an Honour for someone to share their story with me.  I feel happy that my Client has made another appointment next week.  When my Client was leaving today, and I was saying goodbye, I felt Connection, and my Yin Part of me had a sense that my Client had a feeling of hope of a better and brighter outlook - this made me feel wonderful.  I am Excited that I have found my lifework and that through Coaching I can help in the enabling of new Awareness and a Plan for Clients to move forward.

I am Excited that I can bring my Strengths to my Coaching - I genuinely care about people, I am Committed to helping people have a sense of Self-Love and love of their life, I believe that all people have a light and spark within them, their Soul, a uniqueness and greatness.  I feel I can share my enthusiasm and help people see the light.  This morning I had a definite sense of being on Purpose - a sense that I did Spread The Yellow to my Client.  This is my Purpose, this is what I am supposed to be doing - this is what I would do, even if I wasn't being paid.  I just love being a Coach.  It is a bonus that I do get paid to be a Coach.   And I do want to be able to spend more of my time Coaching so that my Business does become a major source of income for me.  And yet I am just enjoying the Journey, there is no pressure.  And I certainly do not want Clients to be just numbers or nameless to me, where I am trying to fit Clients into an appointment schedule, and just racing to get more and more Clients.  I genuinely care - each Client is important to me.  I am Committed to helping my Clients achieve their Coaching Goals.  I am especially keen to see people SHINE - to have a sense of Self-Worth and Happiness, to be Inspired, to feel a sense of Newness and to be Empowered.  It is also important that Clients show Commitment - when people come to Coaching, they are saying that they are ready for change, ready to take steps forward.  And payment can be important in helping Clients value and have Commitment to the Coaching Process.

I love that I can feel into my Yin and Yang.  I feel my Intuitive Yin supportive during the Client's Process, and sharing of their story - I feel My Goddess Dancing, just being in the moment, trusting and being in the flow.  And I also feel the Yang part of me present with a Structure for the Session and tools and techniques I can use and maps that can help my Clients understand and the ACTION Yang part of me is keen to help the Client establish a sense of movement.  I was in Yin and Yang and in my job as Coach I am very Conscious of bringing my Client into their Awareness of the Power of their own Yin and Yang.  My Client is interested in looking at Myers-Briggs and I am happy that I have been trained in this area of Yin and Yang.  I am Excited as I believe that this can help people experience Self-Love, become Confident and Self-Reliant and become Empowered to want more for themselves and their lives.  I definitely felt my Goddess in Power today.

I love Coaching.

I love my Coaching room.  I feel comfortable working in this space.  I love setting up this space unique to me and my work.

I love the new addition to my Room - a Lotus Flower (with a Yellow candle).

The Healing Centre where I work is also called "The Lotus Rooms".  I Google Lotus Flower tonight and find some wonderful words regarding - "What makes the Lotus Flower so special?" - I find this information on a jewellery website, such beautiful pieces http://www.ka-gold-jewelry.com/p-articles/lotus-flower.php (I am not a big jewellery person, and yet I will definitely be having a good look at this website)

"The lotus flower is one of the most ancient and deepest symbols of our planet.  The lotus flower grows in muddy water and rises above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty. At night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again. Untouched by the impurity, lotus symbolizes the purity of heart and mind. The lotus flower represents long life, health, honor and good luck."

"Universal symbol for spiritual unfoldment
Egyptian Lotus flower - The Egyptian Lotus flower symbol was called Sesen in the Egyptian language. In the Egyptian mythology the lotus flower is a symbol of the sun, of creation and rebirth.

Eastern Lotus flower - In the East, the lotus flower is viewed as a symbol of spiritual unfoldment. The lotus has its roots in earthly mud, but as it grows upward in aspiration toward the light, its petals open out in a beautiful flower. Om Mani Padme Hum, meaning, "Hail to the Jewel in the Lotus" is the sacred mantra of the Tibetans.
 
Christian Lotus flower
The Christian alternative to the lotus is the white lily which, relating to Mary as queen of heaven, signifies both fertility and purity. Traditionally the Archangel Gabriel carries the lily of the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary. 'Blessed are the pure in heart' said Jesus, 'for they shall see God.'  The teachings of the Galilean Master and those of India's great yogis were cut from the same cloth of self-realization.

Indian Yoga Lotus flower
The Indian Lotus flower symbolizes divinity, fertility, wealth, knowledge and enlightenment. It is associated with the goddess of wealth, Maha Lakshmi, who brings prosperity, purity and generosity. She sits on a fully blossomed lotus flower, symbolizing purity, beauty and everything that is good."

I also love this poem - Lotus flower: Symbol of Spiritual Unfoldment - By Swami Kriyananda
"We were talking - about the space between us all and the people -
Who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion never glimpsing the truth
Then it's far too late when they pass away.

We were talking - about the love we all could share
When we find it - to try our best to hold it there - with our love
With our love we could save the world - if they only knew

Try to realize it's all within yourself - no-one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you.

We were talking - about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see - are you one of them?

When you've seen beyond yourself
Then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we are all one
And life flows on within you and without you."

I am Inspired when I read about the Lotus Flowers and I am happy that Coaching can support "spiritual unfoldment".  

I love my Angel Cards.  I loved when my Client picked up a card today and my Client expressed that these words resonated with her, and we smiled - magical!

I meet with my Doctor to present my Coaching material and he keeps one of my Business cards and says that he will recommend people to me.  He does say that he mainly gets patients who are looking for the free Sessions with a Psychologist, however to qualify you need to be found by the doctor to be medically depressed.  I explain that at this stage Coaching does not have a provider number and explain the opportunity to help people who may need support, to be preventative.  The Doctor asks me about me being so happy and that I am always smiling and have this spark inside of me - this is a lovely compliment - I tell him that this comes naturally for me, this has been my dominant state most of my life.  And my belief is that everyone can be so happy.  We agree that there are many people that are not happy and my Doctor understands now that Coaching is about people becoming Empowered to take ACTION in their lives.  It is always nice to see my Doctor, he is a very caring man.  I am happy that he put my card on his desk so that it is in his view.  I asked him if he would like other cards or Flyers and the Doctor said that he will just write my name on a piece of paper and give to any of his patients (which makes me happy - a note handwritten by him) and he says that I should leave Flyers in the Clinic waiting rooms.  I am delighted that the Office Manager leaves them on the front counter for everyone to see - I am very Grateful to them both for their support.

While waiting at the Doctor's Clinic I also ran into my Osteopath - I haven't been to him for a long time and yet he remembers my name and remembers about me starting my Business.  He is lovely and friendly and encouraging as always and I give him some brochures.  He offers to recommend people to see me if he thinks that Coaching may benefit any of his Clients - wow - thank you!!  I ask him if he would like me to make time to explain what I do and he says that I should just email him some information and that he is also interested in my philosophies.  He is interested!!  I am thankful to him.  I am also thankful to the Universe - timing was perfect - he was leaving work for the day, I was just sitting and waiting for my Appointment.  Perfect!!

It has been a wonderful day.

I am Excited and keen to keep reading and learning and developing so that I can be the best Coach I can be.   I love that I have a Checklist developed from the International Coaching Federation Competencies that I use to help me review each Coaching Session.  Rather than going into analysis or even falling into Overthinker or Critic, I can check in with the Competencies of Coaching and I can always strive to offer the best opportunities to my Clients.

Coaching is so important to me.  And I am also Conscious of being in Balance in my own life - and so even though this is my life interest and my lifework - I also want to make time for my other life Priorities.  I ring my Brother and it is always good when he has time for Conversations, I miss him, I love him.  I talk to my Mum and Dad and I hope to see them tomorrow.  And I ring a Yoga Centre where I have been referred by my Chiropractor - a new sign from the Universe (just when I thought I had found the right class) - this is important as this has been one of my Goals for a year - I want to make this happen.  I also look up times of the movies where I am planning a morning out with one of my close Friends on Sunday morning.  I ring my Man's Mum who is important to me and with whom I wish to build our Connection.

And tonight, it is about my Man - tonight we are looking forward to spending time together.  I love that he is happy for me and interested in me and that he is so supportive.  I am so Grateful for my Man.

I am so Grateful for my day.  I am so Grateful that I am always so Grateful - as I write this I feel again a sense of My Goddess Dancing - music, light, love, colour, energy, movement, grace, happiness, joy...

Dear God

In one day, one moment, your life can change.  Today at 11.20am I received a call from my Mum and Dad - I was sitting there waiting for the call. My Mum has been the specialist and she has found out that the brain tumor has grown - it is not the news that we want to hear.  I have been Praying and Praying and I feel an instant sadness when my Mum tells me about her MRI results.  I wish that I had have been with my Parents at the specialist, so that I could ask more questions.  I feel helpless right now. 

My Mum is Positive and after a few Conversations, my Mum offers that she will ring her own specialist (who is away for 2 weeks) and ask his opinion - yes, yes, this seems like the best Next Step.

This morning in my Meditation I felt that I had fear inside me and I practiced the NLP Technique of looking at the fear, taking it out of your body and then letting it go above you, around you, through you, so that it was now behind you.  I then had a sense of standing close to glass, and my Mum is behind the glass and I am just standing watching, so close and I am sending so much Yellow light to my Mum, and I have an image of my Man coming to stand with me and holding my hand.  I was sending Yellow rays all morning.  And then I received the call, and everything stopped - most of the day I have felt in a cloud, a dark, rainy cloud - laughter and smiles and lightness and brightness do not feel close to me right now.

There is so much out of my control right now, and worrying about what might happen or what this all means will not be helpful.  Right now I just feel sad and numb.

I speak to one of my close friends, and she tells me that her older parents are also not very well - where she is now being her Dad's full-time carer.  My friend was also saying, how easily, so unexpectedly, life can change.  There was a Gift in talking to my friend, she said that she is just cherishing every day with her Dad - really enjoying the time that they have together.  So much truth in these words.

On Saturday I had such a great day with my Mum and Dad - we enjoyed walking and talking and laughing.  These are some of my happiest times, just enjoying time together.  I love seeing my Mum smile.

I refer to my 'Law Of Attraction' book by Michael J. Losier - I have a feeling that I need to get this working for me - I need to get this working for my Mum.  I often talk about the Law Of Attraction and now I am motivated to learn more.

"Have you noticed that sometimes what you need just falls into place or comes to you from an out-of-blue telephone call?  Or you've bumped into someone on the street you've been thinking about?  Perhaps you've met the perfect client or life partner, just by fate or being at the right place at the right time.  All of these experiences are evidence of the Law Of Attraction in your life.  Have you heard about people who find themselves in bad relationships over and over again, and who are always complaining that they keep attracting the same kind of relationship?  The Law Of Attraction is at work for them too.  The Law Of Attraction may be defined as: I attract to my life whatever I give my attention, energy and focus to, whether positive or negative."

I also like these words "What you radiate outward in your thoughts, feelings, mental pictures and words, you attract into your life." Catherine Ponder, Dynamic Law of Prosperity

I read on "Every single moment you have a mood or a feeling.  In this moment right now, the mood or feeling you are experiencing is causing you to emit or send out a negative or positive vibration... For example, when a person wakes up first thing Monday morning feeling a little bit cranky and irritated, they are sending out a negative vibration, the Law Of Attraction responds, matching the vibration they are sending and giving this person more of the same." As I read this passage, it makes me realise that I need to be focusing on my Mum's track record of always beating cancer, she has a hurdle and then she has an operation or a treatment and she is well again.  My Mum is well, my Mum is feeling well and healthy.

I am really enjoying what I am reading - this book is an easy read and it makes sense - it is all a very good reminder to me today - "When you make a statement containing the words don't, not or no, you are actually giving attention and energy to what you don't want.  Simply ask yourself 'SO, WHAT DO I WANT?'"  I could sit here and say I don't want my Mum to get sick - instead I must choose my words - I want my Mum to be well and live to old age to see her Grandchildren grow up.

I like reading about "Contrast" and the step that needs to be taken when I recognise  "Contrast" - "Contrast... anything you don't like, doesn't feel good, or causes you to be in a negative mood.  The moment you identify something in your life that feels like contrast and you spend time complaining about it, talking about it, or declaring that you don't want it, you are offering a negative vibration.  The Law Of Attraction then responds to your negative vibration by giving you more of the same... By observing contrast and identifying it as something you don't want, you become clearer about what you do want.  Simply ask yourself 'So, what do I want?'"

First step is to Identify My Desire - I will repeat (and rewrite these words) - I want my Mum to be well and live a healthy life to old age to see her Grandchildren grow up.  I want my Mum to be with me when I get married and have children (although my Man tells me that I write in my Blogs too much about having children - hmm... this is not a good sign - and yet I am not going to focus on this tonight - and I will  maintain my clear Vision for my future which includes having children - and definitely includes my Mum seeing my Baby and enjoying my Baby growing up).

I really like this part of the Law Of Attraction, reinforcing the importance of being Grateful - "If you like what you are observing, then celebrate it, and in your celebration you will get more of it."  I am in Celebration of he wonderful times I spend with my Mum and look forward to so many more wonderful times, happy days together.

I love my Mum and my plan is to stay positive and send out positive vibrations that Mum will get the help that she needs to be well and healthy.  I am in Celebration of every phone call, every day spent with my Mum, every day I hear my Mum's happy, positive voice.

I love the concept of the "Vibrational Bubble" and as suggested in the book - "If you build your desire list and put it away in your sock drawer, your desire won't manifest because the Law Of Attraction doesn't respond to things in a sock drawer.  It only responds to what is currently in your Vibrational Bubble."  I will be Conscious of including in my Vibrational Bubble:

- talking about my desire

- noticing something I like

- daydreaming about my desire

- visualising my desire

- when I say yes to something

- when I remember something positive

- when I'm observing something positive

- when I'm praying about my desire
- when I'm celebrating something I like.

I am also Conscious of my Yellow bubbles - using the Law Of Attraction to Spread The Yellow to my Mum and putting positive images and thoughts out into the Universe.

As I read and write about the Law Of Attraction,  I have a sense that I should Pray again.  I have been Praying - I was Praying last night and this morning - and I know that God is close by to me and my Family.

Dear God, I am sorry that I sometimes forget to pray to you, or even say hello.  And, I am always Grateful, every day, for the beauty of the world.  Thank you God.  Please bless my Mum, heal my Mum.  I need my Mum.  Please send your love and light and healing power and miracles.  I thank you God for helping my Mum be so brave and positive and strong.  Please keep a watch over my Mum and send your angels to look after my Mum and help her contine to be healthy and well and live a long and healthy life.  Thank you God.

Life Is Not Perfect

Life Is Not Perfect.  Today I feel like a fraud - I certainly don't feel Yellow - I certainly have no energy or motivation to go out into the world and Spread The Yellow (and when I read back over this sentence - I do not feel like a fraud - I just feel real).

We went to bed late - I am worried about my Family - and as I am stressed, this had a ripple effect and caused my Man and I to have a disagreement.  Before we fell asleep we were Best Friends again and we went to bed saying all these nice words to each other, taking turns to shower each other with compliments. - it was so sweet - my Man would say a word and then I would say a word - it just went back and forth - "Sexy", "Spunky", "Princess", "Prince", "Queen", "King", "Goddess", "Handsome"... it was a wonderful way to fall asleep.  I am eternally Grateful for my Man.

I woke up and I was so tired.  I dreamt through the night - I can't remember what my dream was about - yet dreaming makes me feel tired.  When I am conscious that I have been dreaming through the night, I wake up exhausted, almost like I have actually been on the adventure through the night.  I was talking to the Manager at the Bookstore and she was telling me that she also dreams at night and that it is important to write down the dreams - she said that if we do not pay attention to the dream, it is like, not opening a letter that has been sent to us.  I like this analogy.  This morning I can't remember the exact details of the dream - although it is about my Family - and the real life emotions are the same.  I have been told that the most important part of remembering the dream, is remembering the emotions (how did that make you feel?) rather than the story.

I didn't want to get up today.  My throat hurts, my head hurts, my back hurts.  Life Is Not Perfect.  My Life Is Not Perfect.  I could have actually stayed in bed all day - and I had this feeling, to my surprise, that I couldn't wait for the day to be over.  I bring out my Cheerleader part of me and get out of bed to go Walking.  I enjoy being out in the world - I just enjoy being out in the fresh air.

After a visit to the chemist and a bag of potions for my throat and headache, I walk home.  I decide to stay home, and not go to work today.  I make myself a Priority and choose my Health.  Life Is Not Perfect and I am not feeling my usual 120% and yet I can still look at what is within my power and make a Choice.

Life Is Not Perfect - I just want to hang out on the couch.  I even google Yellow flower images and Yellow images - and I love seeing Yellow. 

And as I look at the images of Yellow flowers, I look over on the dining room table and see my Yellow roses - I am so Grateful that my Man buys me flowers.

I love sleeping for a couple of hours and hanging out on the couch is a treat - just a chance for Self-Care.  I read a chapter 'Discovering Your Values' from my book 'Spiritual Business' by Kate Forster - "When you live with your Values, then you are on the right track.  But how on earth can you live them if you have no idea what they are?" - I also like the quote "Too many Values and you are never sure what to grasp at when the winds of change are blowing."  I also love the words "I believe that your own Values as a person, when they are brought into your own business, will make an exceptional company.  It will be a 'self-realised' company.  A company that understands what it is here to provide and is more successful as a result."

I love this book - it is making me think about my own Business - in a natural, flowing way, involving my Yin, rather than just being in a traditional Yang corporate style.  I reread some of my notes about Values from our Coaching Textbook 'Co-Active Coaching' - some of the key sentences I like that help define Values are - "Values are who we are.  Not who we would like to be, not who we think we should be, but who we are in our lives, right now... Our Values serve as a compass pointing out what it means to be true to oneself.  When we honor our Values on a regular and consisent basis, life is good and fulfilling... Important life decisions are easier to make and outcomes are more fulfilling when the decisions are viewed through a matrix of well-understood personal Values."

I remember looking at Values at College - considering our own Values and also the Values of our Clients.  Rather than looking at a long list of Values I loved the process of identifying Values by considering - Peak Moments In TIme, Suppressed Values ("looking at times when a Client was angry, frustrated, or upset") and "Must-Haves" ("look at what they must have in their lives").  I love the idea of having my Values in print - and also having Values that are both my Values for my Life and my Business.  I find that my Journal, and artwork paper and coloured crayons are perfect for putting my Values on paper.

I love putting these words on paper - My Values.  I will now put this sheet of paper up in our Study, next to my Vision Boards - so that I may see them on a daily basis.  These are my Values for My Life and My Business.

Today's main feeling has been that Life Is Not Perfect and yet when I look at my Values, I see LOVE large and right in the centre - and I know that I am so blessed to be able to score this Value 10 out of 10.

Yes, Life Is Not Perfect, and sometimes, like today, I am going to feel less than 100% - and yet I can Honour myself and just have a day to myself - sleeping, relaxing, sitting on the couch watching a fun TV series.  And I am Happy that today I was guided to relook at my Values.  Health is a big one for me - and that is why I decided to stay home.  I know that I could have gone to work and put on a Happy face and yet I am glad that I put my Health as a Priority - as now I feel ready to get back to work tomorrow and give my best - to Honour my Commitment of work, to strive for Achievement, to be in Celebration when I exceed my Targets.

I have listed 17 Values - there are a lot of Values on this list and yet they are all very important to me.  There is the opportunity for me to look at a Values-Based Decision Matrix - make a list of Values in Priority and also Scale each Value, the degree to which I am honouring each Value - this is the type of work that would be beneficial to a Client.  And yet, as I look at my List, I am so Aware that I do Honour my Values - today I just needed a day to Spread The Yellow to myself.  And soon my Man will be home and he has offered to make us dinner - I am so Grateful that he is so capable and so natural and has such a huge capacity to Spread The Yellow to me - just the small things that Make A Difference.

And I hear a knock at the door - and I am Excited - our Organic Fruit and Vege Box has arrived.  I love Mondays - did I just write this right - this morning I had Monday-itis - and yet now I feel so happy with this delivery.

I am also Delighted that I get to talk to the owner of the Business and tell her how much I love getting the Fruit and Vege Box and that I have been telling my friends about her Business.  I ask her how long she has been in Business - Emma tells me that it has been 1 year.  It was so great to talk to Emma about Business - Emma tells me that she has had such great results from being involved in the "Shine" Magazine - and that it is very affordable for each quarter and that I may be able to get an article written about me.  I love the "Shine" Magazine - it is a wonderful magazine - this is how I found out about Shire Organics and now I am a raving fan.  I may have just been given a Next Step from the Universe for my Business - yes, time to introduce myself to the Community - time to tell them that "I Am Here".  Promoting my Business SHINE Coaching in  the "Shine" Magazine is a perfect fit.   I fill my fruit bowl with all the wonderful pieces of fresh, organic apples, oranges, bananas, kiwi fruit, nashi pears - yum!!!  Life Is Perfect!!!

My Hero's Journey

It is definitely Autumn - I can feel it in the air.  This morning I go out Walking, dressed in my tracksuit, and I am wishing that I had an extra layer and scarf - the wind is cold.

I love the Trees in Autumn, the deciduous Trees - I love the coloured leaves.  I love the Liquid Amber Trees - I thought they were called Maple Trees - yet it is easy to recognise the Liquid Amber Trees through the hand shape of their leaves.  I love that there are a few Liquid Amber Trees next door to where I live.

I just love these Autumn leaves - I have enjoyed taking a few of the fallen Autumn leaves to work and putting them on my desk - taking the outdoors indoors with me.

As I enjoy my walk this morning, still being in the Now, I Reflect on My Journey - My Hero's Journey.  I love the Map of the Hero's Journey - it is a Map that I love as a reference in Coaching Clients.

There are so many elements and today I just Reflect on the first part of My Hero's Journey - where I have left behind so much that is familiar and I have accepted The Call - The Call to Adventure.  In terms of My Hero's Journey, I feel that Autumn is definitely the most appropriate - the warmth of Summer is gone, and I can feel the chill of winter.  I feel the changes taking place around me, within me. 

I am just loving 'Soulcraft' by Bill Plotkin, I am reading it slowly, digesting every page - I love every word, every paragraph - I love these words:

"The pull toward Soul feels like an earthquake in the midst of your life.

The journey of descent begins with a call to adventure, a stirring declaration from the depths, from the gods and goddesses, that it is time to leave behind everything you thought your life was supposed to be.  The call is much more than an urge for an extended vacation, a challenging project, or a new career or social scene.  You may think you are simply going to leave home for a while, learn something new, and return to what you always thought was yours, but you will not in fact be in control.  You might one day return to the place where home existed and find only ashes."

So much has happened in the last few months for me - I have literally left my home, and started a home with my Man - and this is huge - this is a BIG Journey.  And I am loving this Journey.  My Hero's Journey for me began when the Universe shifted everything for me when I was made redundant.  The Call to Adventure came for me with a decision to either go back into a secure, BIG salary, full-time job as a Manager or follow my dreams, follow my heart, take My Hero's Journey and start my own Business.

I am not sure what is in store for me - I follow my Intuition as I walk and Reflect.  I am guided to one of my favourite Trees - I have a few Trees that I just love in my local area - actually I love all Trees.  I love this Tree, it is perfect that it is deciduous - and I am surprised that most of the leaves have now fallen off the Tree.

I place my hand on the Tree and ask for a message - and I sense these beautiful words:

"Stay grounded.

Don't let the wind blow you off course.

Stay true to your path and fabulous opportunities will open up.

Let the wind carry your dreams.

Be in your heart.

So much of you is gone.  Yet your core is strong."

As I stand with my hand on the heart of this beautiful Tree, the wind is strong and I stand strong, both feet on the ground, I am grounded.  I am Inspired.  I feel humbled and blessed.

I walk towards the Bookstore where I am Coaching on Fridays.  I am so Excited and Delighted to see my name listed on the Timetable (I love that it is on Yellow paper) and my Flyer is in the window.

I feel SO ready to be Coaching Clients.  I was so Excited the other week when I was talking to a friend of my Client from last year, and he was saying that Coaching was a Catalyst for his friend, that after Coaching with me, so much changed for him in such a positive way.  Wow - Catalyst - I loved receiving such wonderful feedback - and most of all I was so Happy to hear that my previous Client is doing so well.

I decide to get the Law Of Attraction working for me - my Yin imagines me blowing Yellow bubbles - they come from my heart - they are filled with love - my love of people, my love of Coaching, my passion to work with people to help them move towards loving their lives.

I love this image - I can sense it, visualise it, feel it.  Walking home I imagine Yellow bubbles floating towards all of the cars driving past me - I Spread The Yellow to them and wish them a happy day.

I just love imagining Yellow bubbles - I feel them flying through the Shire, through the local community and they will land and be attracted to those people who are looking for a Life Coach, who are seeking Support.  I am so Passionate about seeing people SHINE.  My wish is that through Coaching, my Clients will feel Successful, Happy, Inspired, New, Empowered.

I go to work and I am in my Yang, focused on getting my work done, focused on doing well to exceed Targets.  I am very Happy when my Manager has a meeting with me and I get a pay rise - perfect timing!  I very much enjoy my job and it is allowing me to meet my basic needs so that I can be brave on My Hero's Journey as I live my Vision and am committed to my lifework.

I am not sure of the terrain of where My Hero's Journey will lead me - and sometimes I feel lost and sometimes I feel flat and sometimes I feel fear - yet I have love in my heart, and I am sending out love and light.  And I trust that I have the strength and resources, that are showcasing through the power of my Yin and Yang.

Yellow bubbles... Yellow bubbles... Yellow bubbles...  I am sending out Yellow bubbles filled with love to float towards those people who will benefit from working with a Life Coach - who are currently thinking about getting Support to make changes in their life - to walk towards their dreams - who would like a Coach to join them on their Hero's Journey.

I AM HERE!!!  I AM HERE!!!  I AM HERE!!!

I AM HERE to Make A Difference!!!

Now In This Moment

We have finally put my favourite print on the wall in our bedroom - it is a photo of Cronulla at sunrise.  I love that I see this photo when I first wake up in the morning.  I feel Inspired to get up and get outdoors and get down to the beach when I see this photo.

I get up earlier than normal and I am Happy to receive this message by email -
"There is nothing more important than what you are experiencing Right Now In This Moment." Amir Zoghi

"Nothing Kathryn, nothing.  Absolutely nothing can be more important than what you are experiencing in this moment.  Because there is nothing but this moment, anything you perceive to experience outside of this moment are simply thoughts, a thought from memory or a thought of the future.  This moment is real; anything else is only a shadow of this moment.  Where are you living Kathryn?  In life or in its shadows? The Universe"  

I love these words - this is a great basis of an Intention to carry with me today - especially, consciously on my morning Walk.  I become a witness to myself - observing my own self - it is interesting.  I notice that my mind is so active - so active.  By being a witness to myself, I am able to catch myself each time the Overthinker part of me comes onto the stage - often I am in the moment - and then I will see something that catches my heart and my attention and it may send me back into the past or into thoughts of the future.  For example I see an older couple walking together, hand in hand - and it is a lovely sight - of course it makes me think about love and relationships.  Or I just start thinking about my Coaching Business and what needs to get done this week.  And by being a Witness and Observer to myself, I am able to consciously choose the focus of my energy.  As soon as I am aware that I am moving away from this present moment, I imagine a Stop sign and then I bring myself back to the current moment - being aware of the sounds and sights Now In This Moment.

I love being outdoors, I love the surprises that the outdoors brings - such as this family of ducks.  I see them every morning.  And just as I imagined the Stop sign this morning - I enjoy seeing the ducks today.

I love being at the beach this morning.  As usual I love seeing everyone so active.  I am especially, as always, impressed with the ocean swimmers - watching them swimming at this time of year, while I am layered up with a tracksuit.  I am very Inspired.  I would love to be able to embrace swimming as my sport - I've often thought about being a brave ocean swimmer - yet I just feel the cold (so much).  And yet I am Inspired - perhaps I will start this Goal in Spring.  For now I will just watch the swimmers with admiration.

I just love being out in the sunshine.  I could walk all day.  And yet today I go to work, where I also hold onto the Intention to be Now In This Moment.  This is one of my Goals - to be Present.  My Strategy is to be an Observer to myself, so that I am more consciously aware.  And also by using the image of the Stop sign - this helps to bring me back to the Now - this is a good tool if I get lost in thoughts of my past or start worrying about my future.

I am reminded of a great quote that I saw the other day 

- "Today everything is possible, yesterday has gone"

Tonight I listened to a Webinar by Kristen Hansen - Mind Mastery - it was fantastic.  Kristen talks about being a Director of your thinking - that you are the Director and you can think about your thinking (meta-thinking - being an Observer) where you know you are not your thoughts, and you have a Choice about the thoughts that are helpful and that you can choose to keep or drop your thoughts.  Kristen talks about the difference between Narrative Circuitry (the busy mind, the constant chatting) versus the Direct Experience, where we are in the moment (Now In This Moment), in tune with the senses of the moment, Mindfulness - where we hear the birds singing.  I loved hearing this in the Webinar - especially since I loved hearing the birds singing this morning.

I loved the Webinar.  I love knowledge.  I am Passionate about being the best Coach I can be for my Clients - and that involves a Commitment to my own growth and continued learning.  And in my personal and professional life, I am always committed to my Mission to Spread The Yellow.  By being in the Now and by being totally Present, I have a knowing that I will be presented with so many wonderful opportunities to love and to serve.

Coaching Business Starts Today

7 May 2010 - My Coaching Business Starts Today - SHINE Coaching.

Last night I went to a very special dinner - a gathering of my Friends, my Community of Counsellors and Coaches - I love these women - I love the sense of Connection I feel with them.  It was a wonderful opportunity to speak from the heart - with a genuine heartfelt caring and wanting the very best for every woman at the table.  It was a wonderful night.

I got home at 11.40pm and was so delighted to see that my Man was still up and about and had a present for me.  At 12.01am - a new day - My  Coaching Business Starts Today - my Man surprised me with a beautiful, thoughtful card and present - I love his words - and I love the pen he bought me with the words "Super Coach" engraved - my Man makes me SHINE - my heart sings.

Today I have had a great day.  I delivered Flyers to my friend's physio and also to a doctor's clinic and the womens' community centre - plus I put one of my Flyers on the notice board at Gloria Jeans.  I ran into my Cousin and also a close Friend and it was great chatting with them on my special day today.

A FANTASTIC part of my day involved setting up my Room - my Space for my Coaching.  The Room has been set up for another Healer - yet I love that there is the opportunity to bring myself to my lifework.  My Yin and Yang have been working on this Project - I have meditated on and visualised my Room, my Yin giving me Insights and Ideas and Inspiration - and my Yang getting organised and getting my "stuff" together so that I could Create my Room today.  However, when I arrived at Cronulla, I was surprised that I would be in a different room today - almost a bit disappointed - and yet once I was in the other room (that will now be my room on a Friday) it felt very right - a good reminder to me to Trust the Universe.  I had a wonderful time bringing the room to life.  The Yang, the 'to do', thinking, logical, analytical part of me, couldn't have done this on its own - feeling into my Yin, my intution, my emotional part of me was essential today.  I just followed my intution as I Created my room, looking around, feeling into what would work in this Space.  The Yang part of me was great at recording my Room set up - so that I can have a list of everything that I need to take on a Friday and a Step-by-Step Process of bringing it to life.  Here are two photos showing the original set up of the Room - and then two photos showing my Room Alive.

I choose an Angel Card - it is perfect - "Counsellor - Archangel Azrael 'You are a natural Counsellor, and many people benefit from your guidance and reassurance.' "

I was really Excited when my dear Friend, Aideen visited my Room and she gave me a "lucky $5" which is to encourage the flow of money into my Business.  We had a lovely chat and it was so wonderful being in this Space.  My Friend selects an Angel Card - another perfect card with the perfect wording - "Brilliant Idea! Archangel Uriel: 'Yes, your idea is Divinely guided... please take action to bring your idea to fruition.' "

This afternoon to clear energy and create Space for my business, I burn incense and a candle and I enjoyed a Meditation.  It was very powerful.  I had a sense of a lot of people coming to Coaching in this Room - and I felt myself in a state of Welcome and opening the door to the Space.  Did I mention that the door to this Room is Yellow - perfect!  I had a sense that Clients will flow to the Room, I could see an image of the side of a stage and there were all these people lining up and a director just letting people onto the stage one at a time - and this gave me the sense that Clients will flow to my business and that there will be a natural and steady flow of Clients.

In the Meditation I had a sense of being in the Space with my Client and that we were in the middle of the Yellow heart - that there is such a Sacredness of this Space and a strong Connection between Coach and Client.  I also saw a beautiful visual of the power of Coaching to Spread The Yellow where I am in the middle and then my Clients will be changed through Connection with me - and then others will be changed through Connection with my Clients - and so the energy will flow.  It was beautiful to see and feel into this Vision.

I also had a sense of Clients giving me Gifts to thank me for helping them - and just as they were handing me the Gifts, I could see in my mind's eye that I was holding their hands, and not accepting the Gifts, and said that my Clients give me so much - that just being in Presence with them is a Gift.

After my Meditation I write the words "I Am Here", "I Am Here", "I Am Here".  I am so very ready.  I am looking forward to working with Clients.

I am Excited to see my Business promoted in the Bookshop's Newsletter - Very Excited.  This Newsletter is distributed to 400 Customers.  I am also very Excited that my business cards have arrived and I put my cards in my business card holder (that I bought as a present to myself).

Today is the first day of my Business - and I feel very Happy.

I am looking forward to my Man getting home from work so that we can celebrate Day 1 of My Coaching Business.

When I left my Room today, I bought a beautiful book 'Gaia Body and Soul' by Toni Carmine Salerno - the artwork and words are beautiful - on the cover are the words "In Honour of Mother Nature and The Feminine Spirit". 

There are so many amazing words in this book.  I find a verse that resonates with me today:
"Believe in Yourself
for you are a wonder of creation.
Let go of fear and you'll discover a shining star.
Trust in the healing power of love.
You are an ocean of light,
Reflecting the light of the Sun, Universe and stars.
Love's flame resides in your heart,
And through this love new stars are born.
Through an explosion of love
Your glowing heart moves the ocean's tide
One eternal heart forever"

I am Inspired.

I am also given the Gift of a bookmark that had caught my eye - I love these words (and the image of this flower):
" Find the seed
at the bottom of your heart
and bring forth
a flower."

These words speak to me - as this is the Goal of Coaching - bringing a Client's light and Vision to life...


I am in the right place... I am on my path...
