The second key in the 3 keys on manifesting what you want to create easily process is to find out what it is that you want to create and connect to that juice or longing that excites you.

Most people are using the law of attraction to attract what they want from a place of need or lack, from a feeling of not having, from what they don’t like that is facing them in the moment or from desperation.

You might have this question coming up. Doesn’t wanting something indicate lack? The word want represents two energies. It depends on the energy that we give to the word want. It could come from the feeling of need, must have, got to have, clinging, if I don’t have this I am incomplete type energy.

Or it could come from the energy of the heart, your longing, desire, wanting, causing  your heart to be open, to be  joyful, and excited.

This is what I am talking about when I use the term want or longing. This wanting, longing or desire which is coming from a state of what feels good to you already, from a place of excitement and joy. This is something that most of us have a challenge with, connecting to our longing.

Contrary to what we may have learned about from various other sources the law of attraction responds to frequency. When you are connecting just on an intellectual level it’s just an idea or a thought, and because there is no passion, excitement or longing it won’t get off the ground.

What changes frequency more quickly than anything else is the ability to connect to the emotion of what you want and to your longing, then life will rearrange itself around your longing.

Usually when you ask  the question what is it that I am longing for, how and why are the two questions that your mind (ego) will throw back at you. It has to know how it is going to happen. It will stop you dead in your tracks if you give it any consideration especially at the initial stage of wanting to get clear about what it is that you want.

Your mind will demand to know how it going to happen. It wants to know all the details, which will stop the process of longing because the mind needs to be satisfied with knowing how it’s going to work out first.

This is why people give up on their dreams because they focus on the how rather than the what. Just focus on the question what do you want and sit with the energy of longing without thinking that you have to do something to make it happen, or needing to take an action.

Your mind will shut down as soon as it feels you have to take some action because that’s scary for it right now. That feels like too much responsibility, it’s too big. It doesn’t feel safe, so it closes down the longing.

So use the question that the heart asks to find out what you really want and connect to that longing, before you get to step 3.

The First Key is Get Plugged in to Your Power Source. When you connect to the heart centered part of you through your emotions, that is what energizes you to manifest what you want to create easily in your life. Your emotions let you know if you are connecting from the heart or the head. If you are disconnected to your feelings and find it a challenge to connect to your emotions you will end up creating a hum drum lifeless and a disconnected type of experience in life. It will be hard to manifest anything consciously.

Therefore it is important to be able to connect deeply to your emotions, because emotion is the energy or the fuel that is used to shift your vibration or frequency. It takes the power of your emotions to change things. Nothing changes without emotion.

Before you go on a journey you need to know where you are before you can get to your destination. In the same way before you can manifest what you want  in your life you must know what you are feeling at this present moment about what is coming up for you in relation to what you want to manifest.

This will give you the clues to what it is that you don’t want and what you don’t feel so good about in your life right at this moment, so that you now can access the emotions that will make you feel good which will  shift  your vibrational frequency a little higher.

That’s the reason why it  isn’t enough just to know intellectually what you don’t want or what you want in life, because it takes a heart connection to manifest what you want to create easily, so get plugged in to your power source through your emotions.

Ask yourself what am I feeling right now about this area of concern, whether it be in your finances, in your relationships, your career, your health or anything else. Then notice what comes up emotionally for you. Are you feeling stuck, anxious, fearful, disappointed, and angry or are there emotions that arise within you feel that life is pretty good right now?

Remember that your emotions give you clues; they are what tell you what is going on inside of you. They are your internal guidance system, and play a big part in your life. They are here for a purpose, so that you can experience a contrast. The more you are aware of your emotions and the information that they give you the easier it is to shift the vibration from what you don’t want to what you want.

Although you may think that the starting point of your journey is not important or exciting you are way ahead of the game because you now know exactly what you don’t want and can get to the next phase of your journey to find out what you want to create easily.

An important piece of information that we need to have on manifesting what you want to create easily is in the area of giving your power away. Not much attention or focus has been given to this area of teaching. Perhaps you have heard the phrase but what does it really mean? Who and what have you given your power away to? Why is it important to be aware of this?

Humanity as a whole has emotionally and energetically been plugged in to what our culture, family, and society have programmed us around what we should do, ought to do, have to do in life. This takes all the fun, excitement and juice out of life.

Imagine a beach ball that is inflated with air which has a pin size hole in it. No matter how much air there is in it right now it won’t be long before the ball will lose all the air in it. Likewise it doesn’t matter much if you have a great vision, a goal, or a great idea, there will be no energy to create easily those things that matter to you if you are plugged in and connected energetically to vibrations and frequencies that do not serve you.

Therefore it is important to become aware of what sources you are plugged in to that are draining you from manifesting what you want to create easily.  What is keeping you in fear, closed and disconnected?

Get Plugged In To Your Power Source.
Getting plugged in to your power source, to that passionate, vital, and heart centered part of you through your emotions is what energises you to manifest what you want easily in your life. It is your emotions that let you know if you are connecting from the heart or the head. If you are disconnected to your feelings or you find it difficult to connect to your emotions you will end up creating a very dull, lifeless and disconnected type of experience in life. It will be hard to manifest anything consciously. Therefore it is important to be able to connect deeply to your emotions.

In order to be good at what you want to create easily it is important to first connect emotionally to what is going in your life so that you can use that fuel to change.  What is your current life situation? Do you love your job? Do you have a relationship? What kind of financial assets do you have? Are you in the red or in the black? Are you living your purpose or your dream?

Know What You Want
Do you know what you want? What is it that excites and makes your juices flow? First connect to that longing in your heart. This emotion of longing is the fuel by which you will be able to go on manifesting what you want to create easily and to change the vibration that is draining your life force.

Setting Goals And Inspired Action From Your Heart
The final goal in this process of manifesting what you want to create easily is to look at setting goals in a different way to the traditional way of doing it. Instead of looking at how you should be setting goals you come from the perspective of “what do you want to do in order to get there?”

Gratitude Quotes.
When we express gratitude for what we have it opens the doors to abundance, and instills in us the attitude of gratitude. Giving attention to Gratitude quotes help us to make a subtle shift in the way we perceive life. It helps us to stay on track, move forward and to remember how important it is to be grateful for the many blessings that come into our lives which otherwise we would take for granted.

Here are some gratitude quotes that I hope will challenge, inspire, and cause you to reflect on all that you have to be grateful for in life.

“If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily.”  Gerald Good
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others. Cicero.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, and confusion into clarity…. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. Melodie Beattie

We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.” — Cynthia Ozick

“What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it-would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.” Ralph Marston

“Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life.” — Christiane Northrup

“Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend… when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that’s present — love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure — the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth.” –Sarah Ban Breathnach

“Gratitude should not be just a reaction to getting what you want, but an all-the-time gratitude, the kind where you notice the little things and where you constantly look for the good, even in unpleasant situations. Start bringing gratitude to your experiences, instead of waiting for a positive experience in order to feel grateful.” — Marelisa Fábrega

For today and its blessings, I owe the world an attitude of gratitude. –Clarence E. Hodges

Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse. Henry Van Dyke.

Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind.  Lionel Hampton.

If a fellow isn’t thankful for what he’s got, he isn’t likely to be thankful for what he’s going to get. Frank A. Clark

If you count all your assets, you always show a profit. Robert Quillen

There’s a beautiful praise song that I recall singing years ago called Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart that came to my mind this morning. I asked myself what it means to live with the attitude of gratitude, and how I could cultivate a grateful heart. I realized that it begins by self reflection and contemplating on gratitude.

It made me think of this saying by Albert Einstein “A hundred times a day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depends on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the measure as I have received and am still receiving.”

The other quote is by Dietrich Bonhoeffer who said “In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich. It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our achievements in comparison with what we owe others.”

Greg Krech author of Niakan: Gratitude, Grace and the Japanese Art of self expression is one of the leading authorities in Niakan in the USA. Niakan is a form of the Japanese art of self reflection which translates as “inside observation,” or “seeing one’s self through the mind’s eye.”

It is structured to focus your attention on your own conduct in relationship with parents, siblings, friends, partners, co-workers and neighbors. It also encourages you to accept life’s events rather than become mired in your feelings about them.

The self reflection is based on three questions that you ask yourself in relationship to your partner, parents, siblings, children and friends.
1.    What did I receive from others today__________?
2.    What did I give to others today __________?
3.    What troubles and difficulties did I cause others today __________?

Take the first of the three questions; you could have received a phone call from your mother to see how you were doing, your children took the garbage out this morning without being asked to do so, and your boss congratulated you on a job well done. Often you may not pay any attention to these small things and take them for granted, and notice only the blocks and problems that come your way. Had you given attention to those little blessings you would have been strengthened at the support that came your way.

The second self reflection question is what have I given to others today? This could be a smile or a word of encouragement that you gave a colleague, giving a lift to a neighbor, or baby sitting your granddaughter. Reflecting on this question gives you a conscious realization of the  contribution that you gave to others.

The third question can be a bit of a challenge. You may  notice when others are late and have kept you waiting, or someone taking your parking spot, yet you may not even be aware when you are the source of the problem or  think that it wasn’t such a big deal,  justifying  it with some excuse.

However this is a question that needs to be taken seriously. It takes courage and a willingness to look at yourself with truth and honesty. If you fail to do so, you will continue to cause pain to others by your thoughtlessness, and continue to be the source of someone else’s suffering. This should in no way cause you to beat upon your self, or  cause you to feel shame or guilt. The whole point of self reflection is to increase your state of awareness.

Self reflection on these three questions is one of the best ways to cultivate a grateful heart. It will generate in you a feeling of gratitude. It will arouse in you the desire to give something back, not out of obligation but because you are overflowing with a grateful heart for all the support and love that you have received from others.

The Law of Attraction tells us that “like attracts like”. Have you noticed that people who like each other hang out together?  When you operate from the attitude of gratitude you resonate and send out a frequency of acceptance and harmony, and as a result you attract to you the events, conditions, and circumstances that match that frequency.

However when you choose to resist or fight whatever you find not to your liking you are creating resistance. This is how you resist, by focusing on thoughts and emotions that may go like this “why is this happening to me?” “Life is not fair”  “It’s not my fault”, etc. Resistance is placing your focus on what you would rather not have happening to you at this moment.

As you resonate with that frequency you will continue to attract those events, circumstances and dis- harmonious events into your life. The Law of Attraction makes it clear that you will literally attract to yourself, the things that your thoughts are focused on.

Gratitude or being grateful for what you have on the other hand is an acceptance of things just the way they are which correlates with acceptance.  This in turn resonates and sends out a much different resonance of energy creating a magnetic force that is conducive to attracting the “desired” outcome.

The first step is to deal with the thoughts and the emotions that have surfaced up for you that are causing you to be worried, anxious, fearful, guilty etc. They are not bad nor are they good. They just are, as a result of your beliefs and perceptions about life. This is what you are feeling at this moment. So own, acknowledge them, observe them and release them. Then remind yourself that you are at this moment truly abundant.

The next step is to change your frame of reference with positive words and affirmations on a daily basis, and taking some time to feel grateful for all the things that you have. You can begin by being grateful for having a roof over your head, food on the table, clothes on your back. “Count your blessings instead of sheep” as the song says.

Let`s look at how developing the consistent attitude of gratitude which will execute the Law of Attraction on your behalf. Everything in its purest form in the universe is pure energy. Your thoughts, feelings and emotions that you are broadcasting determines your  vibrational frequency which attracts to you exactly what you want to manifest into  your life.

For the purpose of this illustration consider that you are a powerful magnet and whatever you may be feeling- frustration, anger, rejection, love, compassion or joy, you are in reality drawing to you the conditions that are experiencing. If for instance you fear something, that creates an attractive force that will draw to you more of what you fear.

When you express gratitude for whatever situation that you are facing, trusting that everything happens for a reason, and that reason is there to serve you, that draws to you more of what you are grateful for. This means that whenever you are not expressing gratitude for an outcome, you are actually in resistance, because it causes you to focus on not wanting that outcome. When you are not expressing gratitude your thoughts and emotions are focused on what you don’t want, which draws more of what you don’t want.

When you are experiencing a situation that is not to your liking it may not be that easy to feel grateful for that situation. However you do have a choice. So begin by releasing or letting go of those emotions that are not serving you. That will bring you to a neutral state which allows you to make a shift in your paradigm, and does bring you to a place of choice. Now it is easier to give heartfelt thanks for “what is”.

Surrendering and being grateful for  gets you out of the way, creating a magnetic force that is essential to attracting the desired outcome.

One of the first ways to develop the attitude of gratitude is to express gratitude with your words when someone has served you in one way or the other. Most people find it easier being grateful for the big things that happen in their lives and forget to be grateful for all the small things that come into their lives on a daily basis.

Notice all the little acts of kindness that people do for you, a sincere compliment, a word of encouragement, a friend that pays for your coffee and donut, the $2.00 coupon off for your haircut that you received in the mail. Get into the habit of giving thanks and feeling grateful for everything.

If you have challenges being grateful for things start by feeling grateful for the big things and then the small things and finally for everything including what you consider being a challenge. As a result of this you will start to express gratitude not only with your words but by your actions.

Gratitude Journal
Writing in a gratitude journal is a way of reminding yourself to constantly look for reasons or things that you can be grateful for. Write five things you’re grateful for each night before bedtime. Review the day and include anything, however small or great, that was a source of gratitude that day, e.g., a sunny day, a flower in bloom, or the smell of homemade baking. Make the list personal. Write a few words about the five benefits or blessings. Be brief and increase the length as time progresses

If you have children getting them to keep a journal would be a good way of recording all the things that they are grateful for on a daily basis. This way they will get into the habit of not taking anything for granted. They can begin the sentence by saying Today I am grateful for __________________________ and fill in the blank for whom and what they are grateful for that day.

Create a Gratitude Box
Have a supply of art and scrap booking supplies for your children to write and draw thank you cards. They can have fun decorating them using ribbons, stickers, drawings, shells, photos, markers and pictures from magazines, and then giving it to the person themselves or mailing it.

Writing thank you notes is almost a lost art but if it is cultivated when children are young they will continue to do it as adults in some form or the other by email, phoning, sending a card, texting etc.

Gratitude Songs.
Children love to sing and dance. Here is a gratitude song that children love to sing and do the actions. “If you’re Happy and You Know It.” Do you remember doing this action song when you were young?

If you’re thankful and you know it, clap your hand x 2
If you`re thankful and you know it,
Then your face will surely show it
If you`re thankful and you know it, clap your hands.

Other verses:
If you’re thankful and you know it, stop your feet …….
If you`re thankful and you know it, shout “I am” …….
If you`re thankful and you know it, do all three ……..

Implementing the attitude of gratitude unlocks all the good things in life that are in store for you; it changes your perspective from confusion and chaos into clarity and order, shifts uncertainty to  comprehension and understanding , causing you to see the gift in every challenge and the so called mistakes into important events.

So just thank Life and the Universe and be grateful for everyone and everything that is sent into your life as they are there in your life for a reason.

Here is a wonderful video -another way of reminding you of these truths you’ve just read about. Allow the lyrics and the exquisite music raise your consciousness to another level.

It’s easy in our busyness to take things for granted yet if we have cultivated the attitude of gratitude we will remember to give thanks for the many blessings that we have which will allow for more abundance to flow into our lives.

What is gratitude? Gratitude is “the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful.” It comes from the Latin word gratia meaning favour, pleasing. Gratefulness broken down can read Great Fullness.

Gratitude is a choice. It doesn’t come easily to us. Most of us were taught as children to say “thank you” when someone gave us a present or did something nice for us. After a while the thank you can become quite glib unless we learn ways to cultivate the attitude of gratitude.

If you are a parent instead of just telling your children that they need to say thank you for something nice that someone did for them, explain to them that the person thought of them and took the time to get them that present or did that nice thing for them. This way it is less likely for them to do it by rote or obligation.

Model this yourself and let your child know how grateful you are for them and for everything in your life. Children notice and are aware of everything, and they will imitate whatever you do, so it goes without saying that they will learn from your example.

Gratitude is also a skill and it is never too late to learn a skill.  Teach your children that it only takes a moment of opening their eyes to see all the blessings around them. As they make this a habit and look for these blessings, very soon it will become their reality. Each night before they go to bed ask them to ask themselves this question. What am I grateful for today?

Here are some things to keep in mind to develop an attitude of gratitude:

Express Gratitude.
When we are grateful we need to express gratitude. If we don’t bring to our awareness and experience the gift of gratitude we will start to take things for granted, complain, find fault and focus on what we don’t want or don’t have rather than all the things that we do have.

The Law of Attraction and Gratitude.
When you are in a state of gratitude you are resonating and sending out a frequency of acceptance and harmony, and as a result you resonate at a much higher vibrational frequency which is what attracts to you the events, conditions, and circumstances that you desire.

A Grateful Heart.
There’s a beautiful praise song that I recall singing years ago called Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart that came to my mind this morning. I asked myself what it means to have a grateful heart. I realised that it begins by reflecting and contemplating on gratitude.

Gratitude Quotes.
When we express heartfelt gratitude for what we have it opens the doors to abundance. One way is by reflecting on gratitude quotes which will help us make a subtle shift in the way we perceive life, and helps us to stay on track and move forward.

Here is a short video providing a new perspective on gratitude.

http://www.peacefulinterlude.com/eipconsultation.htm

Do you feel that there is more to life but somehow you just can’t seem to find it? Do you feel let down or betrayed by life itself? Does it seem that you have lost your direction or that the stuffing has gone out of you? Is there a feeling of deep emptiness within which seems as though nothing can fill it?

The Seventh Energy Center or the Crown Chakra is positioned at the top of the head at the soft center on a newborn baby’s head and relates to the pineal gland. The primary purpose of the crown chakra is to obtain meaning. That meaning gets incorporated into your belief system, and because this is the way you perceive the world to be, you operate from these set of beliefs.

Your beliefs are based on the ideas that you have formed which you believe to be true. Your beliefs shape your reality and your reality shapes your beliefs. So to reprogram your crown chakra it requires you to examine your belief system, asking yourself questions and becoming aware of the operating belief system from which you run your life.

If you want to develop the crown chakra it requires that you are open to a higher power and tap into the mystical. This requires the ability to surrender and to trust in the universe. This can only be done by surrendering your need to control, your addictive habits and attachments, so that you will be able to experience the magnificence of  who you truly are.

It is important to view the chakra system as a complex integrated whole. Energy flows from the crown chakra to the root and back again, and each chakra works together with the other chakras in the human energy system.

An open chakra helps the flow of energy through the centres above and below. If energy is restricted in the solar plexus chakra, there will be limited energy flowing into the sacral chakra and the heart, and so it is with all the other chakras.

The ultimate goal is to achieve a balance in your energy system through the chakras, connecting with the earth below and the sky above.

Here are some ways to bring your crown chakra into alignment:

•    Release the energy of the emotions that you are experiencing as they surface up, by using some release techniques.
•    The colour violet, and gold are associated with the crown chakra.
•   Gems – Amethyst, diamond, selenite, clear quartz, pearl.
•    Essential Oils – Lavender, bay laurel, valerian
•    Affirmations:
•    I acknowledge that the source of love is within me.
•    I am connected to my highest self
•    I am living my purpose.
•    I am always willing to take the next step in my life.
•    I am connected to the higher purpose of money.
•    I am following my divine path
•    I am open to the goodness and abundance of the Universe.

Ask yourself the question how committed am I to making a change in my life? What would that entail?

http://www.peacefulinterlude.com/eipconsultation.htm

Do you feel that you are stumbling in the darkness, not quite knowing why things are always going wrong in your life? Are you able to find answers to the many questions that you might have?

The Sixth Energy Center or the Brow /Third Eye chakra is situated slightly above and between the eyebrows. This energy centre is closely associated with imagination, inner visions and psychic abilities. It is related to the pituitary gland and functions as a link between the inner and outer world.

The information stored within the Third Eye chakra includes seeing things clearly – literal or symbolic, intuition, and insights. It rules over the eyes. Through the eyes one can see into the soul of a person, and can convey a message without words.

The Third Eye chakra gives you the ability of visualization, and the formation of mental images and concepts. If you create a view based on fantasy, then you are not connected with reality, and may find that life is unjust or unfair. This can lead to distorted opinions about life, compulsive and obsessive behaviour resulting in blame and judgement.

Insight means linking perception with understanding and is the highest level of intuition.
When the brow chakra is in balance it allows you to see clearly, letting you see the big picture.

In Sanskrit, the brow chakra is called “Ajna” which translated literally means “command” It is from here that the other chakras are guided. This center is the gateway to other realms. Through awakening this centre we can attain greater command of our lives and respond with greater awareness to the command of our spirit.

Questions to help raise chakra consciousness:

What is it that I am stopping myself from seeing and hearing?
What is it that I’m afraid of knowing?

Here are some ways to bring your brow chakra into alignment:
•    Release the energy of the emotions that you are experiencing as they surface up, by using some release techniques.

•    The colour indigo is associated with the brow chakra. Use it to train perception.

•    Gems – Purple Apetite stimulates all levels of perception. Sapphire strengthens spiritual awareness and communication. Herkimer Diamond enhances all spiritual qualities give vitality and encourages joy.

•    Essential Oils – Yarrow, blue. Increases and focuses psychic awareness. Violet and Geranium stimulate this chakra, while hyacinth quietens it.

•    Affirmations:

•    It is safe for me to see the truth.

•    I am opening myself to my deepest intuition and knowing.

•    My third eye intuits inner knowledge.

•    I trust that a reason beyond my understanding is always at work.

•    I am aware of my higher purpose

•    I am seeing and hearing my spiritual truth

•    I am receiving guidance for my higher purpose.

What one action step will you take to open your third eye?

Do you have problems expressing yourself verbally and saying what you are really feeling? Are you afraid to speak your mind or air your ideas? Do you feel you are not being heard or when you do share you attract a lot of criticism and negative feed back? If you answered yes to any of the above you need help in opening up your throat chakra.

The 5th Energy Center or Throat Chakra is located between the third and fifth cervical vertebrae and is associated with the thyroid gland. The primary function of this chakra is communication, telepathy and creative expressions. It influences the following aspects of your life: speaking the truth, listening and being heard, and expressing your truth. It is through the spoken words that you express yourself to others.

The throat chakra also connects you and the divinity that lies within you, allowing you to listen deeply as your soul speaks.

The throat chakra has to do with creation and bringing things into being through sound.
We know from the ancients that the universe was created from pure vibrational sound. Your thoughts and words hold a vibration which will create whatever you express. You are the author of your script and the universe will support the thoughts and words that you are saying.

Music is a powerful healer and when sacred sounds or a mantra are repeated they can resonate throughout the entire body creating harmony. Sacred sounds are used to clear the mind in preparation for meditation, calming the nervous system and bringing relaxation to the body and mind.

Here are some ways to bring your throat chakra into alignment:
• Release the energy of the emotions that you are experiencing as they surface up, by using some release techniques.

• The color blue is associated with this chakra so wear some blue to open up the true expression of you.

• Essential oils: Lavender, Patchouli.

• Gems: Kyanite, Sapphire, Lapis Lazuli, Blue Topaz, Blue lace Agate, blue quartz
Turquoise, Aquamarine,

• Meditation and silence will enhance energy at the throat chakra.

Tap on your throat as you repeat these statements:
•  I communicate freely in truth and love
•  I am speaking my truth
•  I am expressing myself easily
•  I am using my words to create beauty in this world
•  I am clarity and kindness

Take time this week to be grateful to your throat chakra and thank it for helping you to express your uniqueness to those around you. There is no other voice like yours. Honor it and let it be heard.

Do you suffer from the pangs of loneliness and feel that nobody understands you? Do you feel isolated? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one or nursing a broken heart?

The 4th Energy Center or the Heart Center sits in the middle of the seven chakras and is located in the center of your chest, over the sternum. The heart chakra is a place of balance and harmony, and influences your experience with love, self acceptance, touch, compassion, devotion and forgiveness.

Having dealt with the personal issues relating to survival at the root chakra, self knowledge at the sacral chakra and personal power at the solar plexus chakra, it is now time to move from embodiment to enlightenment.

Embodiment is to embrace the personal attributes of the first three chakras so that they become a part of your life. Enlightenment is a spiritual journey where we learn to walk in compassion and unconditional love. These two attributes especially are the qualities that are associated with the heart chakra.

You may not realize that there are conditions attached to love. You expect that in romantic love the person that you love returns your love. Parental love also has expectations of their children. Unconditional love on the other hand gives love to any and everyone without the thought of return. When the heart chakra is fully opened, it becomes the channel for Universal Love.

Touch is a quality that is associated with the heart chakra, and although we touch with our hands we reach out from our heart and also receive from our heart. When the energy in the heart chakra is blocked we either find it difficult to give love or receive it. There needs to be a balance of both giving and receiving love.

When the heart chakra is unbalanced, the very core of us undergoes pain and suffering. Our breathing is low, and our mind and body feels separated.

Here are some ways to bring your heart chakra into balance:
•    Release the energy of the emotions that you are experiencing as they surface up, by using some release techniques.
•    Green and pink are the colors of the heart chakra.
•    Gems stones: Ruby, Rose Quartz, Emerald, Green Jade, Kunzite
•    Essential oils: Rose, Bergamot and the less well known Inula, Melissa and Jasmine.
•     Bergamot opens the heart chakra and helps the love energy to radiate out.
•     Inula is a delicate pale green color, brings moral courage and assists those who are afraid to acknowledge their own highest gifts and exercise them to the fullest extent.
•    Melissa is valuable where there is an energy block between the Solar Plexus and the heart.
•    Jasmine warms the heart chakra through its connection to both the sacral and brow chakras as a point of balance between the upper and lower chakra.
Place your hand on your heart as you repeat these statements
•    I am safe to give and receive love
•    I am safe feeling my feelings
•    I acknowledge my own loveliness
•    I am willing to love everything about myself
•    I am loved

Are you willing to listen to the nudging of your heart and the small still voice? What is it saying to you?

Do you find yourself always giving in to others even though you would like to be assertive? Are you anxious about your feelings of being powerless, being alone, confused or worrying about what others think?

The 3rd energy center or your Solar Plexus Chakra is found below the sternum/breast bone and above the navel. Digestion is the main function of the solar plexus chakra. These are some of the physical aliment associated with this chakra – digestive problems, food allergies, diabetes, gallstones, ulcers, liver complaints.

Psychologically the Solar Plexus is responsible for digesting emotions. Anger usually hides pain, and as a result hides the inner power within you. This powerful energy is held prisoner when the emotions are suppressed, which must be released if you are to want to utilize and connect to the inner power of the Solar Plexus to achieve your goals.

Old stagnant emotions create a great deal of inner conflict if they are not released. They cause a lot of confusion that is discharged if you do not deal and resolve the encounters or events that take place in your life.

The Solar Plexus defines your self esteem and is all about your power and identity. The energy of your third chakra was developing around the age of 5 and you needed to know how unique you were. You had to learn that you had power and that you could use that power by asserting yourself when you needed to be heard.

If your parents did not assure you by reminding you that you were powerful, that you could do whatever you set your heart on, that you were given wonderful gifts and talents to fulfill your purpose here on earth then your third chakra would be underdeveloped. If this was the case in your life it is never late for you to validate yourself.

This is the last of the personal chakras, and from this chakra we move to the heart chakra which is the first of the universal chakras making this chakra an important place of transition.

Here are some ways to bring your Solar Plexus chakra into balance:
• Release the energy of the emotions that you are experiencing as they surface up, by using some release techniques.
• Yellow is the color that is associated with this chakra so use some yellow to balance it.
• Essential oils: Rosemary, Juniper, Geranium, Peppermint, black pepper, Ginger
• Gems: Citrine, tiger eye, topaz
• Place your hand on your 3rd chakra just above your belly button and below your sternum while repeating these statements:
I choose to release all my fears and struggles that have to do with power and
struggle.
I fully step into my power now.
It is safe for me to be powerful.
I am using my power to better my life and all of mankind.

Write in the comment section below and mention one step you will take to take back your power and be the unique and powerful person that you are.

Do you have a hard time making decisions? Do you use food or other addictive tendencies as a way to cope with life? Are you taken for granted? Do you love and respect yourself?

When balanced energy flows in the Sacral Chakra you feel good about yourself and can have a positive self image.

The Second Energy center – The Sacral Chakra relates to your sexual desire and energy, pleasure and nurturance, your emotional states and functions, and your ability to create. It is located about 2 inches below your belly button.

This chakra governs the whole pelvic region, and is responsible for the ebb and flow of your emotions and feelings. This center is a moon center with water as its dominant element. Just as the energy of the moon creates a magnetic pull on the sea, so too does it affect the waters that flow within you.

The genitals, womb, ovaries, testes, bladder and kidneys are all water related body parts which are affected by your emotions. Notice the queasiness in your belly when you feel nervous or anxious, or running often to the toilet because your bladder fills up, or crying when you feel emotional.

E- motions are simply energy in motion or movements of energy that we describe as fear, pain, anger, and pleasure. The sacral chakra being the center of emotion expresses what we feel. It is also the center of self knowledge where you come to know and love the very essence of who you are.

Are you comfortable spending time to be alone with yourself? If you don’t want to spend time with yourself, why would anyone else want to spend time with you? Do you matter to yourself? Do you put yourself last?

Creativity originates from this center. You are creative in your own unique way and your creativity can be brought forth through the arts, your talents, passion and gifts. “I can” is the statement that characterises you when your sacral chakra is in balance.

Here are some ways to bring your sacral chakra into balance:
1. Release the energy of the emotions that you are experiencing as they surface up, by using some release techniques.
2. The colour orange helps to bring back increased feelings of well being motivation and inner joy. Use purple to restore balance to an overworked sacral chakra.
3. Meditation on the sacral chakra can help you connect deeply with the essence of who you really are.
4. Essential oils of Clary sage, jasmine, rose, Ylang- Ylang, sandalwood.
5. Gems: Carnelian, amber, orange calcite.

While repeating the statements, rotate your hand on the sacral chakra in a clockwise direction to anchor in these truths.

I am worthy of love
I am deserving of all of life’s blessings.
I am enough.
What I have is enough.
Who I am and what I do is enough.
I am good enough to have what I want.
I trust the process of life
I am open to my creativity and sexuality

What action step/s will you take to bring your sacral chakra into balance?

Are you on survival mode using all of your energy just to keep you alive? Do you have enough money to pay the rent? Have you enough food on the table? Are you happy with your job?

What comes to mind when you look at an oak tree? That it is magnificent? It got to be so because it’s root system was strong and intact, going deep into the earth to give it nourishment, support and strength. If on the other hand the tree’s roots were damaged the growth would be stunted.

Material and monetary issues are the domain of the root chakra, and if as a child your root chakra was damaged or wounded you will continue to deal with first chakra issues until they are resolved at the cellular level. How can you devote yourself to having abundance, creativity and fulfillment when you are on survival mode?

The First Energy center - Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine and it is what grounds you to the earth. Energy flows from the earth into your feet, up through your legs into this chakra where it is processed into a more suitable energy for your body.

Your Root Chakra holds the energy that influences the dynamics of birth issues, survival patterns, generational patterns, money, food and health issues, grounding, and what keeps you from belonging.

The root chakra also controls the adrenal glands, and when they are over stimulated they can lead to feelings of anxiety, and fear. These emotions are energy and they all carry a vibration which can be released very easily. Allowing them to be released is the best way to bring your base chakra into balance.

When you are grounded you know that:
You have a leg to stand on
You can stand on our own two feet
You can put our backs into it
You are willing to stand up for what you believe in
You are not afraid to stand up to people.

Here are some ways to bring your root chakra into balance.
1. Release the energy of the emotions that you are experiencing as they surface up, by using some release techniques.
2. Walk barefoot on the floor, grass or on the beach
3. Work in the garden. Get your hand in the soil
4. Wear the color red
5. Use grounding essential oils like vetiver, ginger, sandalwood, and patchouli by adding to your bath, or in a diffuser.
6. Gems: Red jasper, garnet, smoky quartz, obsidian, ruby, black star sapphire, red jade, all help to ground you.

Place your fist on your first Chakra, which is your groin area. Rotating your fist in a clockwise direction will energize the following truths held in your First Chakra:
I belong because I exist.
It is my blueprint to be wealthy and free
I am clear of all energy related to my birth
I am free of generational beliefs that hold me down

Did you know that there is a life force energy that energizes all living creatures and connects us to one another, and to the world of living and non-living matter?

It has been referred to by the Japanese as ki, the Chinese call it chi, scientists have named it the unified field, the Hindus use the word prana, and Christians call it the Holy Spirit.

This life force occurs at a subatomic level at such an infinitesimal minute level that it is just energy. We are all connected through this field of boundless energy which is the cornerstone for everything in this universe because everything is energy.

Our human energy system also known as chakras can be regarded as a way for our mind and body to be cognizant of this life force. Energy flows through us from this source in the same way as it does in streams, rivers, rain, nature, and everything else.

There are major points within our endocrine system which correspond perfectly with the location of our chakras or seven energy system. These centers of energy interact with and control specific emotional, physical, and psychological functions. Understanding how your energy system works will help you to address the imbalances within it to heal physical, emotional, and spiritual issues.

The First Energy Centre (Base Chakra) is the root of this subtle human energy system, and regulates everything to do with security, stability, grounding and sensuality. It is located at the very base of your spine, directly between your genitals and anus.

The Second Energy Center (Sacral Chakra) has to do with your creativity, sensitivity, and your emotional states and functions. It is customarily affiliated with sexual desire and energy. It is located between your pubic bone and navel.

The Third Energy Center (Solar Plexus) is all about your power and identity. It is located above your belly-button and just below your sternum.

The Fourth Energy Center (Heart Chakra) relates to circulation, love, compassion, devotion, and touch.
This point is located in the center of your chest, over the sternum.

The Fifth Energy Center (Throat Chakra) relates to your inner and outer voice, communication which helps you express your true self in a manner that will attract support and encouragement for your truth. It is located at the bottom of your throat.

The Sixth Energy Center (Third Eye Chakra) deals with your psychic power, intuition and clarity. It is found above and between the eyes in the center of your brow.

The Seventh Energy Center (Crown Chakra) influences your connection to Spirit, divinity, belief systems, revelation and pure consciousness. It is found at the very top and center of the head.

Each of these centers has a mission to support us in knowing and expressing our true identity. Has this peeked your interest? Then set an intention to learn more about your energy system enabling you to clear and manage your energy, to raise your vibrational frequency, and be more whole.

What action step are you going to take to shift that vibration that is not serving you?

Do you feel that you are taking one step forward and two steps back regarding money? Does it feel that you are hitting your head against a wall where financial freedom is concerned?

There is an energy exchange between you and everything else, and this includes the people around you, your business and even money. Whether or not you are aware of it, you have a relationship with money.

It seems to flow easily to some people, almost as if they had the Midas touch, but to others it always seems to be scarce. Would you like to change your relationship around money?

Here is an exercise that you can do to by asking yourself what is the relationship that you have with money. Journal on what money wants to share with you about your beliefs around money. What are the feelings that money sparks in you, and the qualities that you associate with it?

•    Your struggle and effort in getting money
•    Your beliefs about how long it takes to get money
•    There is never enough time or money.
•    Do you deserve to have money?
•    Do you deserve to be taken care of?
•    Do you think money is elusive?
•    Here today and gone tomorrow?
•    Something you can’t count on?

You could then ask yourself the question what kind of relationship would I want to have with money?  What would money look like if it were a person? What kind of attributes would it have, and what kind of a relationship can you have with it?

Consider giving money a name so you can create a relationship with it. Do you feel cared about, protected and safe in the presence of money as you would feel with a good friend?

My grand daughter who just turned one year started to use a toy walker to get around.  Although I softly walk behind her as she wheels her walker all over the house she knows I’m behind her and she turns back her head continually to check if I’m there and smiles and giggles when she sees me. Then I say to her I’m right behind you Kennadie, I’m following you everywhere you go.

Every time I walk around now I am so aware of and see money following me around where ever I go. I speak to money, and call it by name and feel safe, secure and blessed in its presence.

Have fun finding ways to have a loving and joyous relationship with money that will serve your highest good and the good of others, and seeing and feeling everyone everywhere feeling prosperous.

When you can harness this energy as love energy, it becomes easy to make the changes you need to draw abundance and prosperity to you.

Does the failure in achieving financial freedom give you the feeling of guilt and shame, and do you blame the situation on others and on circumstances?

Often when people fail to achieve financial freedom they put the blame on the situation they are in rather than looking at the core beliefs and the emotions that arise from believing that they are a failure, or that they don’t have the smarts, which is what is being mirrored to them.

If you are struggling for financial freedom, you probably have some limiting beliefs that are subconsciously holding you back from achieving your financial success. Perhaps you have some insights to what these blocks are but may not know how to make the changes to get a different result.

Before a change can be made in your external circumstances you need to understand that the challenges you are facing are the result of the core beliefs that you have held about yourself, and your limitations, many of them being held at the subconscious level. These beliefs cause you to look at your limitations as something bigger than you, which keep you feeling hopeless, powerless, and weak.

Since everything is energy, your thoughts beliefs and emotions are sending out a signal that is saying “I don’t have the smarts, “I feel like a failure”  or “I can’t make a go of it”. And that‘s what will be drawn to you like a magnet. No matter how hard you try to make a go of it will eventually fail.

These beliefs and the emotions that arise from these beliefs are what need to be changed first, and because they are energy they can be released easily.

David Hawkins in his book Power vs. Force gives us a scale of our emotions that looks something like this from low to high: shame, guilt, apathy, grief, fear, greed, anger, pride, courage neutrality, willingness, acceptance reason, love, joy, peace and enlightenment.

If you are depressed, the easiest way to release this emotion is just by bringing up those thoughts and all the emotions that are making you feel depressed and giving them permission to leave.

Try this experiment: Get a pencil and hold it very tightly in your hand, and let it stay that way for 30 seconds. You will notice that your hands and even your body start to feel tense. How would you feel if you had to hold it that tightly for another hour or two? Not so good right?

When you open your hands and let go of the pencil and drop it you will feel a sense of relief. Did you notice that while you held the pencil in your hand you were not able to pick up anything else with that hand either?  It’s exactly the same when you hold on to those limiting beliefs and emotions. Not only do those emotions cause you pain and discomfort but they do not allow you to attract what you want into your life.

Now when you don’t feel so good about something imagine and feel those limiting beliefs and emotions draining away down your kitchen sink right down to the center of the earth where they are all neutralized by a magnetic force. They have been rendered ineffective and useless. You will actually feel that emotion leaving and in it’s place you will feel at peace.

Do this every time you get t rigged by whatever causes you to feel any “not so good feeling” until you shift into feeling a good feeling. This is how you can change your vibration.

Have you stopped dreaming because you’ve experienced disappointment, regret, and disillusionment? What are your smallest, biggest, deepest, hidden desires, fantasies, dreams or passions? Have you stopped allowing yourself to want them?

How did you get to this place?

When you focus your attention to the thoughts and emotions of what you don’t want
that’s exactly what manifests in your life. However the good thing about knowing what you don’t want will help you determine what you want.

Once you’ve identified what you don’t want you now know what you want. If wanting comes from a need, a yearning, a clutching, a longing or sighing for something, then it comes from a feeling of lack, and a not being able to have. When you desire you know that everything is yours already, and that you deserve it.

If you want a want to be magnetized, you need to get your good feeling juices flowing and the best way to do this is to ask yourself the question why. Here is an example.

So “what is it that you want? “
“I want to pay my bills.”
“ why? “
‘So I can be free from stress.”
Why?
“So I can feel good.”
What else would you do after all the bills are paid?
Travel, have a college trust fund for the kids etc.
Now put it into a statement.
I intend to be financially free to do whatever I want to do, whenever I feel like doing it.

How do you feel?
Free as a bird, light as a feather, excited, and I feel secure.

Use this process by asking yourself the same why question over and over again to the answers you receive until you can’t go any further and start to feel really good about why you want what you want.

Then check on how you are feeling. You want to get to those feeling good feelings. The vibrations of those good feelings that you send out will be magnetized and drawn back to you and manifest what you want. You magnetically attract what you vibrate emotionally.

When you feel good feelings, they are like the open nozzle of your garden hose, allowing the energy to flow through it from source. When you don’t change the not so feel good feelings it’s like having a closed valve; it’s like resisting or pushing against what is confronting you. They will push back. You are trying to change what you want without changing your not so good feelings.

All you have to do is to make a tiny shift so that you can feel a little better than you felt before, which allows the flow of life giving energy to move though.

Because some people may have a challenge about using the word want, you could turn it into a statement of intent – I intend to achieve financial freedom. The definition of intend is – to have in mind as a goal or purpose.

Here are the steps for conscious deliberate creation:
1 Identify what you don’t want
2 Identify what you do want.
3 Ask yourself why you want it
4 Experience the good feeling place that you want.
5 Focus your attention on what you want.

So what is the quality decision that you are going to make which will help you make a shift? It all begins with a choice. It doesn’t have to be a leap; just a small step. You can do it.

Do you anticipate and expect the worst from life, expecting undesirable things to come your way?

As we grow older we begin to limit ourselves in the language of what we don’t want to happen to us rather than defining ourselves in the language of being open to all possibilities. We look at the circumstances that are facing us and give all our attention to it. This attracts back to us exactly what we are focusing on.

Are these some of the things that you don’t want to happen to you?

I don’t want to be poor.
I don’t want to live from pay check to pay check.
I have to work hard for money
I want to junk that old car
I’m tired of being broke
I  feel there’s never enough
No matter how much money I make it seems to be barely enough.
I don’t want to feel guilty for having lots of money
There’s more money going out than coming in
Life is a struggle
You can see from the examples above that even when you aren’t using the words “don’t want” you may still be focusing on what you don’t want. Whatever you focus on grows.

If you listen to most people talk about money they are constantly complaining about how they can’t pay their bills, how the bills just keep coming, they can’t afford things, how bad the economy is, or that everything is so expensive.

Wealthy people demonstrate by their inner and outer talk that they have plenty of money. The law of sowing and reaping says that we get back what we send out. You may be saying to yourself “but I don’t have plenty of money”

Almost all people are creating by default because they haven’t been taught the creation process, and aren’t aware why they don’t have the money or anything else that they want.

Think of yourself as radio transmitters, sending signals continually to the universe. What signals are you sending? To get the results that you want you need to send the right signals.

When you can’t pay a bill you automatically send a signal to the universe that you desire more money, and the universe responds to your requests and takes the steps to bring it to you. Isn’t that wonderful?

You’ve asked, the universe has said yes to your request, so where is it?

Although the universe hasn’t answered your request, it is similar to you placing an order at a drive through. It has been prepared in the kitchen and now it’s up to you to receive and collect it. It’s the same with the universe. You’ve got to receive the finances you’ve asked for, by getting into alignment with what you want.

You can’t be thinking “I’m sick of bills”, “there’s never enough”, and then receive more money. You are not in alignment with your order of what you want.

If you want more money these following statement would be a sign of alignment:

I’m excited by all the things I can afford.

I love feeling abundant

Let’s buy the best, I’m worth it.

Another way of changing your mind from scarcity thinking is to see the abundance that is all around you. Notice the abundance in nature, the  trees, cars, birds, parks. As you become aware of how abundant the universe is, abundance of finances or whatever else you desire is only a step away from you.

What one step are you going to take to shift your consciousness from not having to having abundance and for feeling grateful for all that you have right now?
