		<description><![CDATA[<p>&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;"How to Enjoy the Shift"&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;br /&#62;<br />
 By Jim Self&#60;/p&#62;</p>

<p>&#60;p&#62;    There is a change, a Shift under way that is affecting every aspect of our third dimensional reality. This Shift is so far-reaching that our limited imagination cannot begin to grasp the transition and change we are now in the midst of experiencing. This Shift is affecting every aspect of life on the planet; political, social and economic structures, the environment, every institution, the wars, how we view our relationships, our work, every thought we think and every feeling we feel. It is altering Time, our memory, our DNA, the wiring of our physical and emotional bodies, our beliefs, our perceptions of good and bad, right and wrong and especially our awareness of what is possible.&#60;/p&#62;</p>

<p>&#60;p&#62;    The Shift is composed of huge waves of Light which hold massive amounts of information and instructions. These waves are re-wiring our DNA, upgrading the body’s physical, emotional and mental systems. These waves of Light are activating the fourth and fifth dimensional chakras, aligning us with a higher awareness. This Shift is providing new understandings of how to once again live in harmony with each other, the environment and All That Is. However, between this new “Heaven on Earth” and where we currently exist, there is transition.&#60;/p&#62;</p>

<p>&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;The Transition&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;br /&#62;<br />
 This transition, as exciting and wonderful as it is, is creating difficulties for many. These difficulties are occurring as this pace quickens, and we continue to hold our third dimensional beliefs and habits as truths. We continue to argue for the right and wrongs, judge others for their actions or fix them because “we know better.” These actions belong to the third dimension and they must be released. As long as we continue to hold these limitations, we will experience the affects of this Shift within our physical and emotional bodies. These affects are known as Ascension Symptoms.&#60;/p&#62;</p>

<p>&#60;p&#62;    Symptoms, such as,, dizziness, confusion, loss of focus, headaches, fatigue, digestion discomfort, anxiety, etc. You may be experiencing Time going faster. There is more on your plate and less time to complete it. You may be losing aspects of your memories (no, it’s not Alzheimer’s). Things that were once very important are no longer as important. And most of us are feeling a heightened sense of distraction coupled with an emotional sense that something is just not right. As we argue for our limitations and hold on to the old beliefs which no longer support us, we create a resistance or blockage within our four-body system creating these discomforts. The third dimensional reality as we have known it is shifting. It is becoming far more grand, aligned and balanced, moving into a Higher Consciousness. Humanity is waking up and as it does, the old structures that have supported duality, maintained separation and have controlled the masses with fear are crumbling. &#60;/p&#62;</p>

<p>&#60;p&#62;    As this new Light finds it way into every corner of darkness, those that live within the darkness are beginning to recoil, react and become very noisy. They will scream the loudest to maintain the status quo. They are creating imbalance, wars, economic failures and many other distractions to prevent this Shift from occurring. They will, for a short time, become very loud, generating much fear in their attempt to avoid this Shift. As this new Light flows within each of us, we are now receiving new information, opportunities and choices which were not available to us in the past. These choices are now allowing each of us to step out of the fear, distraction and separation. By grounding, realigning your energy fields, stabilizing your attention point and focus, you will keep the bodies safe, successful and happy during the transition. &#60;/p&#62;</p>

<p>&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Grounding&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;br /&#62;</p>

<p>Grounding is something almost everyone has considered. But grounding is not a thought; it is an action, a tool to dissipate noisy thoughts, anxiety and undesirable emotions that run through our bodies. If you would close your eyes and in your imagination create an image of a beam of Light, a line of energy, a tree trunk, a pipe or a chain. Just pretend. Then connect one end to the lowest tip of your spine, the first chakra. Feel the connection. Make this real. Then drop the other end of the line to the center of the earth. The center of the earth is not very far away. See the line of energy strongly connect to the center of the earth. With your imagination reach down and tug on both ends and feel the connection. Now, expand the line to about eight inches in diameter and give it the command to activate and become magnetic. Take a breath and notice the relaxation.&#60;/p&#62;</p>

<p>&#60;p&#62;    The command to activate allows the grounding line, a natural part of your body’s operating system, to release thoughts and emotions that do not belong to you, but constantly affect you. These thoughts and emotions flow through the unprotected energy field, stimulating emotions, creating reaction and discomfort. Interestingly, the majority of thoughts you think belong to the world surrounding you and have very little to do with you at all. But once they are in your space they create a distraction, distort your attention and direct your life. Grounding minimizes this noise.&#60;/p&#62;</p>

<p>&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;The Octahedron&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;br /&#62;</p>

<p>Surrounding you are a number of energy fields, one of which you know as the aura. The aura gathers, retains and files every thought, word and action that occurs within, through and around you.  In other words it holds a lot of information, much of which has very little to do with you. This energy field is also an antenna. It attracts frequencies of thought. If you can manage the antenna, you can manage what the antenna attracts. Constructing this antenna around you creates a powerful energy field which aligns with the information of the Shift and your own internal guidance system. In Sacred Geometry there are five forms known as Platonic Solids which hold unique characteristics. One is the Octahedron. It is one four-sided pyramid pointing up with a second four-sided pyramid connected at the base and pointing down.&#60;/p&#62;</p>

<p>&#60;p&#62;    Find a point about two feet in front of you and, with your imagination, place a dot there. Then place another dot two feet directly behind you and two more dots, two feet to the left and right of you. Place a dot about two feet above your head and another below your feet. Six dots.&#60;/p&#62;</p>

<p>&#60;p&#62;    This is an experiential, not a mental, exercise. Feel each of the dots and see them with your imagination. Now, from the point above your head draw four lines connecting to the four dots surrounding you. Then connect each of those four dots creating a four-sided pyramid. See it. Feel it around you. Next, from the point below your feet, draw four lines connecting up to the four dots surrounding you. This will create a sense of containment. This containment is not a wall or a defense system; it is a safe vessel that allows you to move around without becoming affected by the noise. It is also an antenna, which aligns with the Light and Infinite Intelligence being transmitted during this Shift. The Octahedron creates an alignment with all that you are and simply filters out that which you are not.  &#60;/p&#62;</p>

<p>&#60;p&#62;   Experience and play with these  tools. As simple as they are, they will alter your conscious reality and allow you to enjoy the unfolding Shift.&#60;br /&#62;</p>

<p>=================================================================</p>
<p>4. FEATURE ARTICLE: UNLOCKING THE POWERFUL SECRET MESSAGE<br />
HIDDEN IN THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH</p>
<p>&#8220;At Paris, just after dark one gusty evening in the autumn of<br />
18&#8211;, I was enjoying the twofold luxury of meditation and a<br />
meerschaum, in company with my friend, C. Auguste Dupin, in his<br />
little back library, or book-closet, au troisieme, No. 33 Rue<br />
Dunot, Faubourg St. Germain &#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>So begins one of the most famous of all American short stories,<br />
&#8220;The Purloined Letter,&#8221; penned in 1844 by the celebrated writer<br />
Edgar Allen Poe.</p>
<p>The story tells the tale of a famous woman who is being<br />
blackmailed by a man who has stolen from her a letter containing<br />
extremely damaging information. After the police have searched<br />
the thief&#8217;s lodgings thoroughly, looking into every possible<br />
crack and crevice where the letter may have been concealed,<br />
they&#8217;re at a loss because they KNOW the letter is there, yet they<br />
can&#8217;t find it, no matter how hard they look.</p>
<p>Thoroughly bewildered and being pressured to retrieve the<br />
incriminating sheet of paper quickly, the police prefect pays a<br />
visit to Monsieur Dupin, a famous private detective:</p>
<p>&#8220;The fact is, we have all been a good deal puzzled because the<br />
affair is so simple, and yet baffles us altogether.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Perhaps it is the very simplicity of the thing which puts you at<br />
fault,&#8221; said my friend.</p>
<p>&#8220;What nonsense you do talk!&#8221; replied the Prefect, laughing<br />
heartily.</p>
<p>&#8220;Perhaps the mystery is a little too plain,&#8221; said Dupin.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh, good heavens! who ever heard of such an idea?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;A little too self-evident.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Ha! ha! ha! &#8212; ha! ha! ha! &#8212; ho! ho! ho!&#8221; roared our visitor,<br />
profoundly amused, &#8220;oh, Dupin, you will be the death of me yet!&#8221;</p>
<p>While the Prefect laughs and dismisses the idea that the letter<br />
could be hidden right under his nose, that, in fact, turns out to<br />
be exactly the case. The famous Detective Dupin triumphs yet<br />
again and steals back the purloined letter which the thief has<br />
&#8220;hidden in plain sight&#8221; by leaving it right out in the open.</p>
<p>Now my question to you &#8212; in light of deepening our understanding<br />
of The Science of Getting Rich &#8212; is this:</p>
<p>  Are you Detective Dupin or the police prefect?</p>
<p>In other words, are you focusing so intently on what may APPEAR<br />
to be the message of the book or what you expect it to say that<br />
you miss out entirely on what just may be the REAL long-lost<br />
secret of prosperity in ALL its forms, financial and otherwise?</p>
<p>Or, like our hero Dupin, have you spotted the &#8220;hidden&#8221;<br />
information and had it jump right off the page and into your more<br />
and more delightful life?</p>
<p>Well, if you&#8217;re still a bit puzzled &#8212; or even completely baffled<br />
&#8211; hang on, because we&#8217;re about to walk right through the clues<br />
&#8217;til you see it!</p>
<p>In any how-to manual, of course, you always find lists of do&#8217;s<br />
and don&#8217;ts to follow to achieve the desired results. And Mr.<br />
Wattles&#8217; book is no different in that regard.</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s take a look at a few of his prescriptions and see what<br />
ONE THING they ALL have in common!</p>
<p>Mr. Wattles tells us that to practice The Science of Getting Rich<br />
successfully we need to &#8230;</p>
<p>* Understand that there is no limit to abundance.</p>
<p>* Accept that we are worthy and that our true desires are, too.</p>
<p>* Abandon competitive thought.</p>
<p>* Don&#8217;t worry that someone else could beat you to all the good<br />
stuff.</p>
<p>* Avoid unethical practices in business and elsewhere.</p>
<p>* Look for ways to add value in all you do.</p>
<p>* Spend as much time as possible contemplating your desires: See<br />
what you want as if it is already a done deal &#8212; imagine it<br />
clearly, &#8220;bringing out all its delightful details.&#8221;</p>
<p>* And take that even further: &#8220;See yourself owning and using<br />
them. Make use of them in your imagination &#8230; In the mental<br />
realm, enter at once into full enjoyment of the things you want.&#8221;</p>
<p>* Notice when your thoughts turn to worry, doubt, and fear so<br />
that you can choose other thoughts that feel good and lead you<br />
back to positive energy.</p>
<p>* Marinate yourself in gratitude! (There&#8217;s a whole chapter and<br />
more on this one aspect. That&#8217;s a BIG clue!)</p>
<p>* Be careful what thoughts you choose to dwell on: &#8220;Things are<br />
not brought into being by thinking about their opposites.&#8221;</p>
<p>* Avoid dwelling on or talking about your own troubles at all.<br />
The same is true for &#8220;horrible conditions&#8221; in certain places or<br />
for groups of people. Never speak in a discouraged or<br />
discouraging way.</p>
<p>* &#8220;Give no anxious thought to possible disasters, obstacles,<br />
panics, or unfavorable combinations of circumstances.&#8221;</p>
<p>* Don&#8217;t rush, overwork, or waste time trying to figure out some<br />
&#8220;strange, unusual, or remarkable action to perform as a first<br />
step toward getting rich.&#8221; Just do what you normally do but with<br />
a new attitude, point of view, mindset.</p>
<p>* Not sure what action to take? Then you&#8217;re not ready to act yet.<br />
Go to gratitude, contemplate the vision of what you want, don&#8217;t<br />
rush and get yourself all anxious and uptight.</p>
<p>* Use your will power only to keep your mind off what you don&#8217;t<br />
want and focused on what you DO want to attract and create in<br />
your life.</p>
<p>  Have you spotted a common thread yet? </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s another clue: Pick one of the recommendations above (and<br />
this is just a representative sampling) and imagine yourself<br />
doing what Mr. Wattles recommends.</p>
<p>Now &#8230; how does doing that cause you to feel?</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve seen the answer, congratulations! If you haven&#8217;t quite<br />
gotten it yet, that&#8217;s fine, too. We&#8217;ll take it a step further.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s pick the first one on the list. What feels better to you &#8211;<br />
believing that abundance is unlimited or believing that if one<br />
person has more, someone else must go without?</p>
<p>Or jump down the list to &#8220;Marinate yourself in gratitude.&#8221; What<br />
feels better to you &#8212; looking around and seeing so much to<br />
appreciate and be grateful for? Or the opposite?</p>
<p>Do that with the whole list up there. Better yet, get out your<br />
copy of the book and reread it, looking at every bit of advice<br />
Mr. Wattles gives and noticing what is likely to be the IMMEDIATE<br />
RESULT in your own mental and emotional state.</p>
<p>My friend, when you really &#8220;get&#8221; this at a deep level, you will<br />
have the key that unlocks it ALL!</p>
<p>  The real secret of practicing The Science of<br />
  Getting Rich is to focus ONLY on what makes<br />
  you FEEL GOOD. </p>
<p>  Your own JOY is the secret key to all<br />
  abundance!</p>
<p>You are constantly impressing your mental images on the Formless,<br />
constantly sending out a signal, constantly asking for whatever<br />
it is you are focusing on to be delivered to you.</p>
<p>Not just the things you want, but everything you give your focus,<br />
faith, and feeling to. And that delivery is ALWAYS completed.</p>
<p>(Now, not every little thought that comes flitting through your<br />
mind is going to manifest &#8212; just the ones you dwell on. And<br />
which ones are those? The ones you feel any emotion about.)</p>
<p>  So it&#8217;s ESSENTIAL for you to feel as good as<br />
  you can, as much of the time as you can. </p>
<p>My friend, this is great news!</p>
<p>It simply does NOT feel good to worry, to rush, to give less than<br />
your best, to get into competitive mind, to blame or judge or<br />
criticize, to soak up all the bad news in the world, to rant<br />
about politics, to tell everyone all your troubles, to bitch and<br />
moan about everything you don&#8217;t like, and on and on.</p>
<p>But it feels GREAT to turn on your powerful imagination and<br />
practice being, doing, and having all you desire &#8212; to really get<br />
into it until it feels real to you.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an example. One Sunday afternoon I was lying in a hammock<br />
in a friend&#8217;s backyard, thinking about the new home I wanted in a<br />
new location on the other side of the country. I closed my eyes<br />
and imagined my hammock was at the end of the dock out behind my<br />
new house and my cruising sailboat was tied up right beside me. </p>
<p>As I lay there in the sunshine, envisioning all the details of my<br />
surroundings, I imagined I could smell the salt water and hear<br />
the docklines creaking a bit. I imagined another friend coming<br />
down from the house suggesting we go for a sail and have dinner<br />
at a nice restaurant on the other side of the water, and so we<br />
did &#8230; </p>
<p>A while later the back door opened and my friend came out and<br />
said, &#8220;How long have you been out here?&#8221; And when I checked I was<br />
astonished to find out I&#8217;d been &#8220;daydreaming&#8221; for nearly two<br />
hours!</p>
<p>  I had gotten so delightfully absorbed in<br />
  creating and contemplating my &#8220;clear mental<br />
  image&#8221; (CMI) that I&#8217;d lost all track of time.</p>
<p>And the best part was that I felt incredible! You know that<br />
little thrill you get when something wonderful happens &#8212; a<br />
delicious physical sensation you feel sort of all over, and it<br />
can sometimes even make you almost shiver as you grin or laugh<br />
right out loud? </p>
<p>Well, I had it big time &#8212; and that&#8217;s EXACTLY how I knew that the<br />
reality of my CMI was on the way!</p>
<p>Exactly how and when delivery takes place &#8212; that part&#8217;s not up<br />
to me. That&#8217;s up to the Formless. My part is just to get crystal<br />
clear on the desire and all its &#8220;bright promise.&#8221; When I do that<br />
&#8211; when YOU do that! &#8212; it feels fantastic.</p>
<p>So, my friend, that&#8217;s the secret! And your part of the process is<br />
simply to envision whatever it is you desire to be, do, or have,<br />
and then PLAY with that vision until you feel great. Do it often,<br />
until (as Mr. Wattles notes) all you have to do is think of your<br />
desire and the whole big picture jumps into your mind and pastes<br />
a big happy grin on your face.</p>
<p>All the rest &#8212; all the heavy lifting, all the &#8220;figuring out,&#8221;<br />
all the work &#8212; is left to the Formless, the Universe, the<br />
Supreme Mind, God.</p>
<p>Your part is just to be and feel the joy of it until INSPIRED<br />
action just arises naturally.</p>
<p>ONE MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR YOU</p>
<p>Now, whatever it is that YOU desire to be, do, or have, ask<br />
yourself this: WHY do you want it?</p>
<p>When you get right down to it, you want it because you think it<br />
will feel good in one way or another, right?</p>
<p>Hmm.</p>
<p>So &#8230; in order to get what you desire so that you will feel<br />
good, you first need to &#8230;?</p>
<p>Yeah! You got it!</p>
<p>Feels pretty good, doesn&#8217;t it? ;-D</p>
<p>=================================================================</p>
<p>LISTEN UP!</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8221;Ever since I had the [SOGR] audiobook, I have been listening to<br />
it in the car, on public transport, or walking from place to<br />
place, and it has helped to reinforce many concepts. </p>
<p>&#8220;All in all, an hour a day of listening to Rebecca&#8217;s presentation<br />
for 250 working days a year is worth 250 hours of instruction and<br />
self learning and that without setting aside any special hours<br />
for that, only travelling time! </p>
<p>&#8220;And if you are like me, primarily learning using auditory<br />
senses, that&#8217;s double the benefits!&#8221;</p>
<p>  &#8212; KEVIN YEO in Singapore</p>
<p>*****</p>
<p>I know EXACTLY what you mean by reinforcement, Kevin. When I<br />
first got the book &#8212; TEN years ago now, wow! &#8212; I read it more<br />
than 150 times before I stopped counting. I was just so<br />
determined to really &#8220;get&#8221; the message.</p>
<p>(And apparently I was something of a slow learner, too, since it<br />
never occurred to me during all those readings to RECORD it so I<br />
could LISTEN. It took a LOT of SOGR fans asking for the audio<br />
before I got THAT message!) ;-D</p>
<p>I&#8217;m so glad the audiobook is paying off for you!</p>

<p>=================================================================</p>
<p>6. WRAP-UP:  MORE VIDEOS!</p>
<p>Back at the beginning of March I first watched an AMAZING<br />
18-minute online video of a talk given by brain scientist DR.<br />
JILL BOLTE TAYLOR. </p>
<p>Since then I&#8217;ve watched it SIXTEEN more times &#8212; with friends,<br />
family, by myself. </p>
<p>Really. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s THAT good!</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to tell you too much about it, because if you<br />
haven&#8217;t yet seen it I wouldn&#8217;t want to spoil the impact &#8212; and it<br />
packs a TON of impact, especially for those of us who &#8212; thanks<br />
to Wally and SOGR &#8212; have become fascinated by how our minds<br />
(and brains) work.</p>
<p>And even more fascinated by who and what we really ARE.</p>
<p>Apparently a lot of other people have found Dr. Jill&#8217;s talk<br />
mind-blowing (so to speak), too: Less than three months after the<br />
video of her talk was posted on the internet, she was featured on<br />
TIME Magazine&#8217;s cover as one of the year&#8217;s &#8220;100 Most Influential<br />
People.&#8221;</p>
<p>Then, Oprah &#8212; following up on the enormous success of the<br />
ground-breaking, worldwide live 10-week webcast series with<br />
Eckhart Tolle (A NEW EARTH) &#8212; interviewed Jill for her new &#8220;Soul<br />
Series.&#8221; This four-part interview expands on the original talk<br />
and is even more enlightening.</p>
<p>  (I personally LOVE Part 3 because Dr.<br />
  Jill&#8217;s unstoppable enthusiasm for her<br />
  subject is so contagious.)</p>
<p>So, if you&#8217;d care to join me, go grab some popcorn and then head<br />
on over to these websites to catch up on any of the videos you<br />
haven&#8217;t seen yet. Once you hear what Dr. Jill has to say I know<br />
you&#8217;ll agree that it&#8217;s WONDERFUL that so many people are taking<br />
her message to heart!</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll find the original talk, &#8220;My Stroke of Insight,&#8221; here:</p>
<p>  &#8211;> http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/229</p>
<p>And Oprah&#8217;s interview series is here:</p>
<p>  &#8211;> http://www2.oprah.com/spiritself/oss/ss_oss_archive.jhtml</p>
<p>OK, my friend, I&#8217;m off to make it EIGHTEEN viewings of the<br />
original. Hope to &#8220;see&#8221; you over there! (And if you&#8217;re bringing<br />
popcorn, I like LOTS of butter!) ;-D</p>
<p>&#8216;Til next time &#8230;</p>
<p>Many blessings, and of course &#8211;<br />
EXPECT Success! </p>
<p>Rebecca</p>
<p>P.S. Did you participate in the A NEW EARTH webcast series? I<br />
didn&#8217;t miss a single one. There was just something so cool about<br />
taking part in that with millions of people all over the planet.<br />
Lots of good food for thought in there for SOGR readers, too. </p>
<p>And it&#8217;s not too late. You&#8217;ll find the whole series archived<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>The following is from a respected colleague and associate. Be sure to download the 3-page complimentary resource by clicking on the link toward the end of the article. I hope that it supports you well.</p>
<p><strong>Accelerated Empowerment Through Carefully Chosen Beliefs</strong><br />
<strong>By Anita Briggs, DCEd, MSc, DAc.</strong></p>
<p>I recently started a new practice in life. This is something I did awhile ago and lost the connection to it as life got very busy for me. But then I read some short writings I had on the go and was reminded once again of the power of belief, and the immense power of empowering beliefs! So I started up the practice again, and find the effects are better than ever.</p>
<p>The practice I do, which is so simple, is that under any circumstance where things don&#8217;t look great in outer reality, I feel disappointed, anxious, or unhappy, have doubt about a decision made, or am uncertain about a decision not yet made, etc. I will pause to think the following:</p>
<p><strong>What is the most empowering belief that I could have right now?</strong></p>
<p>And then I consciously choose to align to that belief, by going within, connecting to the divine presence within, and feeling that belief as the only truth of my reality.  Usually the discomforting emotions dissipate on the spot and I feel a renewed sense of being master of my life and excited at the potential unfolding. If there was not an immediate shift, then I look at the deeper unrest and apply the process to that level.</p>
<p>For example, if I have an unusually slow week with clients, rather than feel unease or self-doubt over it, I will think of the most empowering belief that I can make at that time.</p>
<p> &#8220;I am being given time to develop new ideas for a product that is very important for people to receive at this time, which will also deepen my connection to spirit and develop my healing gifts.&#8221; Or &#8221; The energy is perfect for me this week to get amazing inspiration and insights and get things done quickly.&#8221;</p>
<p>I will then go within and connect deeply with that belief and know it as truth.  This process aligns me deeply with a reality in which that belief is proven true.  We are continually creating and tearing down futures with our many thoughts, but when we consciously align with beliefs and monitor our thoughts and emotions to be supportive of those beliefs, we sustain the created future until it comes to pass in our reality.</p>
<p>It is quite simple.
<ul> If you want to be powerfully creative of your reality, you need to consciously choose to believe in things that empower you. Belief is foundational to how you feel and think and eventually manifest in your life. When you align with empowering beliefs, you are infused with excitement and hope, and feel open to good things. You become magnetic to new potentials coming into formation.</ul>
<p> Disempowering beliefs, on the other hand, rob you of your power and kill potential formations.</p>
<p>How do you feel when you immerse in each of the beliefs in the following situations? It will become evident how the beliefs you choose deeply affect your vibration.</p>
<p>a)  You are laid off from your job.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have the worst of luck. I&#8217;m no good at anything. If I&#8217;m off for long I&#8217;ll go bankrupt. This is the worst thing that could have happened and at the worst time!&#8221;</p>
<p> &#8220;This is happening because I am being guided to something that is in better alignment with who I am.  This is a blessing and opportunity for wonderful growth. My financial obligations will be easy to manage through the transition, as I am being supported completely.&#8221;</p>
<p>b)  You made a decision between two job offers in two different cities.</p>
<p>&#8220;I wonder if I made the right decision&#8230;maybe the other job is more challenging&#8230;the one I picked is not as prestigious&#8230;will I like it in that city?  Housing is more expensive there&#8230;maybe I&#8217;ll get burned in the housing market&#8230;I&#8217;m not sure I made the right choice. It&#8217;s too late to reconsider&#8230;maybe I blew it.&#8221;</p>
<p> &#8220;My decision was divinely guided. This new job is the perfect one for where I am headed in my life. There are people there I am meant to meet. The housing market is more expensive because the economy is robust and on the rise. I will find the perfect place at the right price.&#8221;</p>
<p>c)  A business deal falls through at the last minute.</p>
<p>&#8220;I nearly had it!  If it had gone through, it would have been so great. Why did this have to happen. It&#8217;s not fair, I did all I could&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The deal fell through so I would be ready for an even better one. I am grateful that I am being divinely supported in all that I do.&#8221;</p>
<p>d) You and your spouse have a big argument.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so tired of fighting over this issue. I&#8217;ve had it. We&#8217;ll never see eye to eye on anything. I&#8217;m not sure I love him/her anymore&#8230;He/she is so unfair and stubborn&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This argument is a godsend and shows me where I am not paying attention to things in my life. I welcome spiritiual insight and help to own and process it deeply. I am excited at the possibilties for greater clarity and truth in our relationship, through the resolution of this issue. I am seizing the moment so that our relationship becomes more loving.&#8221;</p>
<p>Very simply, empowering beliefs impart power to you, regardless of outer circumstances. Nothing on the outside has power, as it is maintained by your inner thougths. When you hold empowering beliefs, potential is stirred into formation through that power. You will radiate potential and possibility and the universal energies will magnetically respond to this power and potential by flowing energies to support your thought formations. Outer reality will bend and shift according to your willed beliefs.</p>
<p>To be a deliberate creator, you must become a powerful force in life. This you do by reaching for the grandest and most powerful beliefs you can in any given situation. Outer reality can only get better when you think and act with power.</p>
<p>There are some fundamental beliefs that can impart great power to you in life. Some of these are listed as affirmations below. Essentially, the more empowering your beliefs, and the more faith you have in your beliefs, the more powerful you will be.</p>
<p>Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Your unwavering faith in the unseen shapes your thoughts and feelings, which create formations in the subtler energy levels that are precursor to matter. Consciousness is all that is real. Outer reality is simply images of the mind expressed. And so it is that anything is possible for those who believe. With faith, your consciousness knows it has what is yet unseen, and the manifestation in outer reality is thus assured.</p>
<p>Practice choosing beliefs that are the most empowering to you in a given situation, and watch your life move into higher levels of excitement. Challenge yourself every now and then to think empowering beliefs that are beyond your usual capacity, and see how these accelerate your evolution.   Nothing can limit you except your own beliefs.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of us have heard of the "Law of Attraction" but very few understand how to use it successfully for Conscious Creation and for Manifesting what we truly want in life. This article, and a totally free 9-page Guide, will help you to do just that. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By now most everyone has heard of the movie, The Secret, and many of us know that there really is a Law of Attraction. My personal interpretation of the Law of Attraction is: Whatever we continue to hold our attention on, is increasingly attracted into our life.</p>
<p><strong>What is this Law of Attraction?</strong></p>
<p>We need to be aware that if we want to create more health, wealth, and happiness (for example) in our life, we need keep our attention and focus on health, wealth, and happiness, so that we carry that vibration with us throughout our day. If we focus on lack or limitation, we attract more lack and limitation. If we focus on abundance, we attract more abundance. So, to create what we want, we need to resonate &#038; vibrate with the energy of what we want, NOT what we don&#8217;t want. It may sound like an over-simplification, but that really is the essence of the Law of Attraction.</p>
<p>As you probably well know, our society &#038; upbringing has conditioned most people to always be focusing on lack, limitation, and what is wrong. First and foremost, we must reverse this old default pattern and start consciously vibrating with the energy of what we want. That is a whole subject in itself, however, the good news is that it can be learned. Many are already beginning to use the Law and are magnetizing and attracting exactly what they want. </p>
<p>What I am most interested in learning, and helping my clients and readers to learn, is how to enhance those basics so that we can amplify the results.  I recently read an excellent post by a colleague of mine, Anita Briggs, who teaches about activating the Power of Attraction within each of us. I&#8217;m sharing Anita&#8217;s article below, and I encourage you read it, and then to download her free 19 page instructional report via the link at the end. It is totally free and extremely helpful:<br />

<p><strong>Clarity and Purpose Part 2 &#8211; Applying Detail, Consistency and Believability to Ensure Quick Results</strong><br />
by Anita Briggs </p>
<p>This article is the 2nd of four articles on manifestation that you will receive in the weeks to come. It is from the Empowerment Through Conscious Awareness Articles Series.      </p>
<p>Another pitfall of conscious manifestation is attempting to energize what you don&#8217;t believe or are not ready to accept. If you don&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s possible, then you will be plagued with doubt and will prove your disbelief correct. Doubt sends mixed signals to the creative substance and can stop manifestation in its tracks.     </p>
<p>Understand your sphere of availability and learn to work within that sphere as a sure way to eliminate all doubt from the process and optimize your efforts. You can only ever manifest what is in your sphere of availability anyway&#8211;this need not be restrictive, as you also stretch this sphere by conscious effort.     </p>
<p>When you believe it&#8217;s possible you can easily anchor the energies of your desires fulfilled and hold that reality mentally and emotionally; in this manner the physical formation is assured.     </p>
<p>In this article you will also learn the most powerful manner in which to formulate a complete creation statement, along with a simple exercise that will generate a strong feeling-imagination for your statement as well as make you a vibrational match to your desires. The key is feeling, because feeling activates the power of Attraction within you.    </p>
<p>Feeling is magnetic &#8211;it&#8217;s speed has as lower limit the speed of light and infinity as upper limit.  Feeling is not emotion.  Emotions can be a less than love vibrations. Feeling on the other hand comes from the higher heart aligned to divine intelligence.  In feeling your creations, you wield the power of the universe and tap its infinite potential.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What Is Holding You Back? Entering Your Discomfort Zone?</p>
<p>How are you doing with your transformation? Are you moving forward at a rewarding rate? Or have things slowed down recently? Is your life visibly changing the way you want it to? Or are you still stuck with the same problems?</p>
<p>Although you’ve made good progress in the beginning, are you now stalled?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a very frustrating place to be, because you get yourself and everyone else caught up in your hopes. You’ve imagined how your life will be when you’ve completed your transitions. You can see the benefits: a healthier lifestyle, a much larger income, more satisfying relationships, a much more satisfying workday, and the pride of knowing that you are doing exactly what you have always wanted to do.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s frustrating for another reason. Because although you can see the finish line, you are standing still.</p>
<p>You have put in tons of hours to develop new skills and change your habits. You have studied programs that are relevant to your success, and have done very well with them.</p>
<p>So why have you stopped?</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t say I know the answer for you. I&#8217;m sure there are many reasons. But I suspect one cause in every case. You have done everything you could do comfortably and have arrived at a place where you&#8217;ve never been before. Any new step forward now is a step out of your comfort zone.</p>
<p>If you want to change your life for the better, you have to accept the fact that you can no longer do the same old things the same old way. Making a commitment to change is a big step. It usually occurs when something has happened to make you realize that you are unhappy with some aspect of your life and an inspirational leader fires you up.</p>
<p>And the charge that you get from deciding to change may keep you going through the early stages of your transformation. It can energize you to read a book, take a course, and even go through all the details of setting up a new business or lifestyle.</p>
<p>All those preparations are necessary and good &#8212; but they amount to nothing unless you are able to get your dream started.</p>
<p>And getting your dream started &#8212; actually kicking your dream life into action &#8212; is new territory. New means strange and strange means uncomfortable.</p>
<p>If you feel that you&#8217;ve made pretty good progress but are currently stalled, you need to admit to yourself that you have probably slipped into a comfort zone &#8212; a way of seeming to be making progress without really getting anywhere &#8212; and do something to get yourself out of it.</p>
<p>What you need to do is take action. Nothing you can tell yourself, nothing you can say to others, nothing you can think or feel or imagine is going to get you out of the mental fog you&#8217;re in. The only thing that can rescue you is ACTION! That physical, get-up-and-do-something action.</p>
<p>Maybe you know what that is. Maybe it&#8217;s a difficult meeting that you&#8217;ve been putting off. Maybe it&#8217;s a phone call that you’ve been dreading.</p>
<p>If you know exactly what it is, do it. If you don&#8217;t know, or aren&#8217;t sure, I&#8217;ve got the next best thing: Act “AS IF” you do know. (Because you do!)</p>
<p>Enlist any or all of the steps below that work for you:</p>
<p>* Awareness of being in this gap is the first step toward making progress. Step one is already accomplished!</p>
<p>* Begin by making the commitment to yourself to start writing down ideas daily. Analyze the situation of where you are now. Go to a quiet place where you are relaxed and undisturbed and start envisioning and even writing down your plan! Putting it on paper makes it so much more real. Telling your plan to someone else makes it even more real! And you become accountable!</p>
<p>* Look back on past successes. What strategy did you enlist then? Using this same strategy will serve you this time as well. You know what works for you. Stop listening to how others think you should proceed and start listening to your own intuition.</p>
<p>* Adjust your attitude and your outlook. No problem can be solved by the same attitude that created it.</p>
<p>* Next, take small baby steps to your goal. You’ve heard it before, by the inch it’s a cinch, by the yard, it’s hard.</p>
<p>* Enlist the support of those people on your support list. These are the person or people who believe in you and will provide safety while you move out of your comfort zone.</p>
<p>* Now look periodically back at your progress and see what is working and what is not. Make adjustments along the way. Be adaptable!</p>
<p>* Make plans for the inevitable pitfalls and setbacks. They will happen. But being aware of them, able to identify them as they emerge, and then respond positively is the key to your success!</p>
<p>* I know you will make it happen!</p>
<p>Make a commitment today, and in a few short weeks you will get your goals going again, even if it means entering you “discomfort zone”. Put aside those feelings of distraction, dismay, inhibition, or just feeling unsure.</p>
<p>Ask yourself! WHAT IS MY DREAM?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t put off the success you&#8217;ve been working and are on track for. Take that first step today and give yourself the jolt you need to make that final change.</p>
