Are you sure you want to complain about that?

Did you know that complaining about something holds within it the intention of that very thing continuing? How could it not? The focus is on the thing you are complaining about. The emotional energy of complaining can range anywhere from mildly irritated to enraged. And the words usually stream forth for a while, especially if you've got a sympathetic ear listening to you. All the ingredients of manifestation. Oops!

Look, we're all human. We all get snagged by the ego's desire to blame others for the way we feel. But once we begin to work with metaphysical principles, we can't do that with impunity any longer. We know what we know. and no matter how delicious complaining and blaming may feel to the ego, we're much better off making a choice to identify and release what we're feeling another way, and then focus on the desired outcome, as if it's ALREADY happened.

Quantum physics tells us the the Universe listens to us, reads our vibration, and just like that genie in the fairy tale about Aladdin says, "Your wish is my command". So how about making a commitment to catching yourself in the act of complaining, and maybe even make an agreement with someone close to us, to remind each other to shift the focus.

We consciously know that we don't want more of what we don't want; but our unconscious beliefs trump what we consciously desire and thus, the ego sneaks in the complaint factor. All you have to do is recognize it and shift your focus. And all you'll be giving up is, let's see.....self-pity, feeling victimized, the understanding and agreement about how awful things are from whoever will listen to your complaints.....and oh yes, manifesting more and more and more of exactly what you're complaining about. Are you ready to give all that up for the opportunity to line yourself up more effectively with what you really really want.....with your desired outcome....even about, especially about the situation you're complaining about? I'm guessing that you are.

So catch yourself every time the complaining starts and turn the dial in your mind, and change the channel of your thoughts and feelings. Choose a different program, and get some thoughts going that make you feel a whole lot better. Then you'll see how marvelously you can participate in a friendly, abundant Universe that wants you to be happy! Empower yourself to be grateful and appreciative and see how things around you change, even perhaps that thing you were just about to complain about.

Joy and Peace,

What a great dream I had! And it's about YOU too!

I had a dream last night, long and involved--- but at one point I am in a department store where I had bought two pairs of shoes before, with a 30% discount. The very same salesman who took care of my purchase last time comes over to me and takes the two pairs I am now going to buy and offers me the same discount card. Then suddenly he recognizes me, is overcome with joy by the coincidence that here we are again! And then he gets up on a platform and waving his arms around and talking loudly and happily, he informs the whole store that they should all get ready for exciting times, that this event signifies that we all will be experiencing lots of ongoing wonderful synchronicities.

He is very excited and everyone else gets excited too. It's a very joyful feeling that is shared among all of us. Then he and I go over to the counter where the same cashier from the last time is there for me to pay for my shoes, but not before he shows me the very same funny stuff, cartoons and other fun things that he had shown me the last time. He says, "gotta do it every time, store policy."

I love this dream and feel like it belongs to all of us! Hope you enjoy reading about it, and make it yours!

Happy, Blessed New Year!!

What are you in the process of getting ready for?

Have you ever noticed how impatient you can get when you're working with metaphysical principles and you're not 'getting your stuff', as Abraham says. You're doing the intending, the allowing, the scripting, finding your joy, being grateful, etc., etc.....so where is your stuff, you ask? How come your desires haven't manifested yet?

The Universe can only respond to your vibration, it's a direct one-to-one relationship. You vibrate, and the universe responds in kind. It can't be any other way....just like gravity. What you have in your life now, is there because it's a match for your past and/or current vibe. It's that simple.

The really, really good news is that all the spiritual practices and consciousness work you are doing is getting you ready for what you really want. You are in the process of getting ready to allow, and to receive those things. Every time you choose joy or gratitude or compassion, you rachet yourself closer to the frequency of the things you desire...and quite frankly, although you do live in a physical world and want physical stuff, what you truly want is inner peace and genuine joy. Sound cliche'? Well, maybe, but I know you've had the experience of getting stuff and still not being peaceful nor truly happy.

So continue the meditating, the scripting, the gratitude lists, the masterminding, and all the other beautiful, life-enhancing practices you do regularly. What they are doing is gently and steadily raising your vibration so that you become a match for the New World...a state of consciousness in which manifesting happens very quickly, if not instantaneously, and where people support each other in compassionate and cooperative ways, a world in which peace and joy are the rule rather than the exception.

The practices are worth the time and energy they take; YOU are worth the time and energy they take. Think of all that you desire and know that you are in the process of getting ready for it all...and you know what happens when you are finally ready. Things seem to occur out of the blue; synchronicity abounds; miracles happen; what was hard work is now effortless; shifts happen automatically, and we practically fall on our knees in gratitude for being allowed a glimpse of how life is supposed to be . All because we were willing to be in the process of getting ready for as long as it took. And being in that process required accepting and loving ourselves in the moment, in all our humanity. That's the real gift in this!

I won't tell you to be patient. Patience is about waiting for the future to arrive. What I will tell you is to live in the NOW....that's where it all happens! And in the meantime, live your joy, have fun, embrace your humanity, and roll with the flow. Yes, certainly keep your eye on your dreams, they're on their way, but you don't need to obsess and work hard at it, instead gently embrace it and love it all now.

It's a great time to be alive; conscious evolution is occurring, and rapidly. Evolution has always been a process in motion, but now we are consciously participating, and things are very exciting. Acknowledge your greatness, celebrate your magnificence, ascend to your worthiness....and keep getting ready for the miracles....they're already happening!


Wishing you joy and peace,
