Thought you all would enjoy this lesson in following Inner Guidance. By my husband, Dwight Reynolds
I want to share this story with The Collective Manifesting Project because I believe it is relevant to all of us and it certainly got my attention!
I live in South Florida and I am an avid boater in these beautiful waters, especially in the remote areas of the southern tip of mainland Florida. I’m sharing with you a brief story that happened two days ago and I think it is a wonderful reminder for us all on two levels. One, if we follow our inner guidance/wisdom we will know what action to take, and two, if we trust and connect with Source, all will be/is well.
Let me explain: My good friend Tim and I planned a fishing/camping trip for this past Friday/Saturday in the Everglades at Cape Sable which has miles and miles of white sandy beaches and can only be reached by boat. It is often rare to see another boat or person where we go. The weather was absolutely spectacular Friday morning. We had planned well; food, camping equipment, extra clothing, etc. Tim and I were really looking forward to this adventure together. We get along very well and there is always an ease to our time together. We were both excited and anticipating a phenomenal experience out in the wild.
Before I go on with the story, let me tell you about the premonition I had on Thursday and Thursday night. I kept getting the message that I should stay home and that something was wrong with my boat engine. Through the night I kept waking up and I would push those thoughts away, reassuring myself and telling myself it was just fear. My thoughts kept on "insisting" that I should stay home. My internal dialogue went back and forth. Is this my inner wisdom, a knowing of what to do? Or was this neurotic fear about being out in the wild away from humanity and out of cell range?
Back to Friday morning. I CHOSE to meet my friend with my boat at our prearranged destination. It was without doubt, one of the most beautiful days we have had this winter. We took off north into the interior. The boat engine was purring and running smoothly. I kept "listening" for an engine problem but everything was perfect...for about 4 hours. We both remarked at the beauty of our surroundings and how fortunate we were to have this time to relax and take it all in. One of the things I really appreciate about Tim is his love of nature and how we both "take it in" when we are in it. We were about 20 miles into the wild and away from civilization when my motor lost power. Every time I tried to accelerate, the motor sputtered and shut off.
It's amazing to me how in one moment you experience elation, absolute peace, at one with the planet, and in the next gripping fear that grabs you by the throat. Both Tim and I were silent (we get quiet when we feel panic!) We both knew that in our present location it was unlikely that any boat would pass by for days. So with lumps in our throats and a zillion thoughts running through our minds, we stayed pretty calm (outwardly!) Without cell phone service and questionable radio contact with the coast guard, we had to come up with something else. Prayers were on the agenda. Something like" I know I didn't listen but I'd really appreciate it if we could get back safely to the dock". "I promise that I'll listen more from now on" etc...Fortunately I was able to start the engine and put it into gear. The engine would not accelerate and sputtered at about one mile per hour. I thought to myself, at this speed, if the engine does not conk out, we should be back at the dock in about 18 hours. I was not confident that the engine would keep running! After a mile or two of extreme quiet, and the engine complaining bitterly, through divine inspiration, I began to squeeze the prime ball to give the engine some extra gas. The engine began to speed up a bit...now at 2-3 miles per hour but no faster. I asked Tim to prime the engine every 30 seconds...
The next thing that happened was absolutely amazing and wonderful. Picture this: we are in a large bay surrounded by beautiful mangrove islands in 3-4 feet of water when suddenly a pair of wild dolphins with a baby surfaces in front of the boat. I stepped to the bow of the boat, looking down, I saw the male dolphin, its mate and baby keeping pace with the boat just below the surface. The male turned to its side looking at me and I swear, he smiled at me. After about a minute or so the small pod broke off and went on their way.
At that very moment, my fears dissolved and I truly relaxed. I walked back to the console and very spontaneously pushed down the throttle. The boat gained speed and was now up on plane! I looked at Tim, we both smiled and we were able to maintain that speed all the way back to the dock (Tim was of course priming the engine every 30 seconds for the next 15 miles... his wrist is better now!) The feeling of relief and appreciation was huge. It was only when we got back to the dock that Tim and I discussed what could have happened IF the engine had not started up and run okay....we had many sighs of relief. At the dock I shut off the engine to get my boat trailer. When I tried to start the engine again to get it on the trailer...it wouldn’t turn over! Tim and I started laughing. I sure felt taken care of....thank you angels!!!
I wanted to share this story with all of you because for me it relates to our mutual desire of manifesting particular experiences in our lives. I believe that our inner wisdom, if we listen and really hear, will allow us to take necessary action. I had many thoughts/words that encouraged me to postpone this trip, but I struggled with my thoughts. Is it fear or is it a clear message? Personally, I am trying to get better at being discriminating in these situations. After the fact, my wife Jan suggested that when I am struggling with clarification about an issue, I might try to "ASK THE QUESTION—is this inner wisdom, or is this fear?" sit quietly and listen for the answer.
This seems to fit perfectly with the The Collective Manifesting Project There are times I "forget" to ask the question. Being out there in the middle of nowhere I had a VERY strong Desire..." I want to get home today, before dark" Then the Dolphins showed up. Coincidence? I think not! This reminds me that we get what we need and if we pay attention, the signs are there for us.
An interesting result has come from this experience. My Desire Statement in our CMProject has to do with increased income. This experience reminds me that I am always taken care of (by dolphins, angels, Source) and I truly don't need to worry about or focus on money. Abundance is all around in so many ways and all I have to do is live my life, follow my purpose, and stay connected to faith and trust.
My message is simple and clear. Ask for what you want, Trust, stay connected to the present, listen and appreciate this marvelous life that we have and share.
PS from Jan,: around 2 pm before Dwight called to tell me what was going on with the boat, etc. and that he'd be home soon, I was getting out of the car in my driveway and thought 'oh, he'll be home in a couple of hours'. Then my rational mind kicked in and said, "no silly, he'll be home a couple of hours from now TOMOROW!" So was I surprised when he called? Nope! LOL
Blessings of all kinds to you!

NOTICE THE DOUBT AND FOLLOW ANYWAY: LESSONS IN INTUITION
NOTICE THE DOUBT AND FOLLOW ANYWAY: LESSONS IN INTUITION
Just this morning I was realizing how great it was that my Inner Guidance (IG for short) had kept me from making plans for next weekend, because as it turned out, they weren’t going to happen for me! And that’s a good thing.
I kept thinking that I should firm up the plan, make arrangements, change schedules, etc, and I kept not doing it. I could feel that I wasn’t avoiding, I was waiting. I know the difference. I was noticing the doubt and following anyway. And I also know that my ego will try to convince me to do the logical thing.
I know that waiting is a sign that some things are not in place yet. I know that waiting is an act of trust. And I don’t even have to know what I’m trusting except the beneficent unfolding of life. I’m trusting that the Universe is a friendly place…like Einstein said I’d have to decide about that issue. It’s different from avoiding, which means I don’t want to, and am pretending I do, and then not doing anything about it…ya know?
I have learned to trust my IG implicitly. There have been so many dramatic instances of FABULOUS opportunities happening, or FABULOUS people or experiences coming into my life when I followed my IG that I recognize the feeling and have built trust in that IG system inside of me. And oftentimes, my ego will still try to pull me away with logic and reason. Not buying. Not any more.
How about the time that my husband and I were in the process of finalizing plans with the architects to do a major remodel on our home and I found myself wandering around looking at houses and condos on the water. Huh? I had no idea what I was up to and why. I just followed my IG. Again, I was noticing the doubt, the lack of logical understanding and following anyway.
The end of that story is that we shelved the remodel plans, told the architects to roll up the plans and send ‘em to us, and yes, we bought a condo on the water! We hadn’t planned it but had been talking and dreaming about “on the water, second story, tennis courts, boat yard, woods, pool, etc etc” for a long time. The Universe was listening, led me to it through my IG, I listened and we surprised even ourselves with how quickly we acted when I looked through the publication I had picked up at the grocery store and saw the ad for that condo…”38 units on 24 acres of hardwood hammock on Florida Bay…” Bam!! I KNEW that was our condo!
The realtor showed us around the place, and we looked at each other and laughed--that knowing laugh that we both knew meant ‘done deal, crazy done deal! And it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made in a split second….second only to deciding to be together from the moment we met. That’s another IG story if ever there was one!
I can teach you how to tune in, tap in, turn on, and trust YOUR Inner Guidance and navigate around ego’s attempts to seduce you away with logic.
Or maybe YOU have an amazing IG story to tell me!! Bring it on!
Wishing that all your dreams come true…or better!

Joe Vitale's 4 Stages of Awakening
There are three things you need to know right now about attracting your desires:
1. There are Four Stages of Awakening.
2. 90% of us remain stuck in the first stage of awakening.
3. It is impossible to achieve our desires in this first stage. But we only need to make a subtle but profound shift to move into the second stage of awakening!
One of the most recognized masters of "The Secret," Joe Vitale helped me recognize this.
And today, the folks over at The Masters Gathering were able to grab Joe for a fascinating discussion on The Four Stages of Awakening is guaranteed to generate at least one powerful "AHA" for you.Grab This Free Video Right Now!
http://www.themastersgathering.com/JoeVitale/?10406
I can promise you, this video is unlike anything you've seen. If you loved what Joe had to say in "The Secret," imagine listening to his insight and brilliance for more than 20 minutes!And he goes deep with this one. Way beyond The Secret and The Law of Attraction.
Joe reveals the MUST DO process we have to begin before we can make all the other stuff we've learned work.How do I know this?
Well...I have a confession to make...
This is the secret weapon I've been using to build my business and, more importantly, to build my life.
It's what makes the difference between succeeding and just surviving. And Joe nails it in this video.
It's some of the most profound advice I've heard in a long time and it's easy.
You'll discover:
~Why our attempts to manipulate our lives, our experience, and the universe don't work, and a simple shift to opening the floodgates to success. (This one alone is priceless because most people misunderstand The Law of Attraction. Joe clears this up for us.)
~How to use your own challenges to breed results. Most of us deny or shy away from pain, but pain is a very spiritual place to be. You can use your challenges to directly produce your desires! That's actually what they're meant for.
~ The secret to a happy life. This happens naturally as you progress through the four stages of awakening.

SHARE THE STORY OF YOUR SPIRITUAL AWAKENING
WHAT TRIGGERED YOUR SPIRITUAL AWAKENING?
I am beginning work on a book about spiritual awakenings and am putting out a call for stories about this from those who have been through it.
Spiritual evolution, spiritual ascension, spiritual awakening…many names for the same experience. Something happens to us. It may be tragic, challenging, painful, difficult. It may be joyful, blissful, transcendent. Whatever it was for you, it triggered the awakening of your soul.
How long did the process last? What did it entail? What were the ‘symptoms’ of it—physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual? What happened to you?
How did you navigate through the changes? Did relationships end? Begin? Did you become ill? Did you ‘drop out’ of your former life? Did you quit your job? Start a new career? How did your consciousness shift?
If you would like to share your story with me I would be very honored. I intend the book I am writing to be informative, supportive, validating and resonant for those going through the experience of a shift in awareness now. If you believe your story could be helpful to someone else, please send it to me.
Thanks and many blessings,Jan Masters
I am beginning work on a book about spiritual awakenings and am putting out a call for stories about this from those who have been through it.
Spiritual evolution, spiritual ascension, spiritual awakening…many names for the same experience. Something happens to us. It may be tragic, challenging, painful, difficult. It may be joyful, blissful, transcendent. Whatever it was for you, it triggered the awakening of your soul.

ARTICE ON HAWAIIAN HUNA PRINCIPLES
I am so happy to share this reprinted here for you. These principles are totally resonant with what we are doing here, what I do in my coaching and teaching. It is an honor to share the words of Serge Kahili King, Hawaiian shaman and author.
I hope you are blessed by them as I am.

THE HUNA PRINCIPLES
Serge Kahili King speaking from Kauai.
Aloha!
Greetings to you, and to this ocean and to this land, to this wind and to this sky! I want to share with you a part of the Hawaiian cultural heritage. A very long time ago in the islands of the Pacific, there were wise men and women who looked at the world, who observed the patterns of nature, the behavior of animals and plants, human beings, and they came to some conclusions about life, about what life is all about, about how life works. And they gave a name to this knowledge. They called it Huna, Ka Huna, the secret, the inner knowledge, the hidden knowledge.
And from this knowledge they developed seven ideas, seven principles, and these are what I want to share with you. The people who did this, who practiced this knowledge, were called Kapua; nowadays we might call them Shaman. And they had a very special way of looking at life, of seeing.
1. IKE - our ideas create our reality.
2. KALA - there are no limits.
3. MAKIA - energy flows where attention goes.
4. MANAWA - now is the moment of power.
5. ALOHA - to love is to be happy with.
6. MANA - all power comes from within.
7. PONO - effectiveness is the measure of truth.
Now the first of these ideas in Hawaiian is called IKE (ee-kay). And the idea in English is The world is what you think it is. This life of ours is a dream, our dream, a dream that we share with other people, that we share with the earth; a dream that we also share with ourselves alone. It's a way of saying that this dream of our experience, this reality as we call it, comes from inside, comes from our thoughts, our ideas, our beliefs, our fears, our desires, our angers and our pleasures. That all of the ways that we think produces this experience of ours. That from night comes day, from thought comes reality.
If we would change this reality, says this knowledge, this philosophy if you will, if we would change this reality, then we must change ourselves. And it is wasted energy to try to change the outer world alone, but if we would truly change the outer world we must go within and find that place within us which is creating the outer world, and change that. Change that idea, chang
e that fear to hope, change that anger to love, change that belief in lack to a belief in abundance. This is IKE, working from within to create the outer. This is the most important of the ideas, and all of these ideas that we're going to talk about now come from this first one.
The next principle that comes from the first one is KALA. Kala, which says, There are no limits. Meaning that we are all connected. Each one of us is connected, mind and body, spirit and man, earth and plants and animals and clouds and sky and ocean. We are all one, we are all connected together.
Now Kala also says that separation is an illusion, but that because we can create our own reality with our thoughts, we sometimes create a sense, a belief in separation. And that as we believe we are separate, we create sickness. When the mind is separate from the body, when we think these two are separate, then in that way we create sickness. When the body, our body, ourselves are separate from the people around us, when we create that kind of separation in our thoughts and our feelings, then there is sickness in our relationships. When we feel we are separate from the earth, that the earth is a thing outside of us, then we get sick, and so does the earth. But Kala says that there is really, underneath all of that sense of separation, a real oneness. And that if we can get rid of those ideas and feelings and acts and behaviors and thoughts of separation, that oneness comes together. That connection is made again, we become healthy and whole within ourselves and with the world around us. This is Kala -- it is a way of creating that connection again, a freeing up.
You've probably seen in Hawaii, a gesture they do which says, 'Hang Loose!' And the meaning is very clear, it means that when you get uptight, when you create tension, then you create separation. So when you hang loose, when you relax, when you allow things to flow, you are healthier, relationships with everything are better, and a very interesting thing happens. When you are relaxed and flowing with things, it is easier to change them. So Kala is not saying that you must accept things the way they are, forever, without changing; it says that when you relax with them, you can change them easier. That's Kala.
The third idea that these wise people discovered was called MAKIA (mah-kee-ah). Makia, that Energy flows where attention goes. Wherever there is a flow of energy and attention, events are created. And wherever you direct your attention, and keep it directed in that way, to an object or to an idea, then the flow of energy carries. And according to the nature of your thoughts, that's the return flow that you get. So that if you're putting out and thinking very positive thoughts about the world around you, then positive energy flows back. And that when you are putting out and thinking negative thoughts about the world around you, then negative energy flows back, negative results come into your life. If you are putting our thoughts of abundance, and keeping that consistently, not just once in a while, but thinking that way, then abundance flows into your life. If you are thinking thoughts of happiness and joy, consistently, then to that degree happiness and joy flow back into your life. And where you focus on fear and anger, then you have fear and anger in your life. Where you focus on violence and upsetting and illness, then violence and upsetting and illness flow into your life.
You have the ability, the wonderful skill, says this knowledge, of deciding how you are going to focus your thoughts, your energy, your attention, and thereby change what is flowing back into your life. So all of these principles of this knowledge, starting from the first one, are telling you how to make the changes from within that will make the changes from outside.
There is a fourth idea, called MANAWA (man-ah-wah). Manawa is the idea that Now is the moment of power. This moment, right here. That there is no power in the past, no power in the future. That the past has no power over you either. That you are the one that has power right in this moment to change what you think, and then the past, and the effects of the past, fail to hold you. You walk forward in life from moment to moment with ideas about yourself and about the past. And it is those ideas, in every given moment, that create your reality. If there is beauty in your life, as we have beauty in these Hawaiian Islands, then you are creating that beauty now. Says this idea, you increase that beauty by enjoying and appreciating that beauty now. If you stop appreciating that beauty, if you start losing your sense of beauty, then so does the land around you lose its beauty, as we have seen happens some places on this earth of ours. But the more you appreciate, take pleasure in the moment, the more you strengthen that, the more you increase that.
So it is not what you've been, but what you are, that makes what you have in any given moment. And the future, as well, does not lie in front of you, waiting for you to move forward and bump into it. The future is created in every present moment by the seeds of thought that you plant now. Sometimes we have weeds from the past, but we can pull those up now, and plant new seeds, and create a new future. So says this knowledge. As we go along, new seeds are planted, and if we decide that we don't like, at some moment, what these seeds have produced, then at any time, we can pull them up and plant new seeds. So it is every moment that we have our power, and there is power in everything else too, in every present moment.
One of the most wonderful ideas of this knowledge comes in a word that you've already heard, which is ALOHA. Aloha, which is so often taken to mean hello and good-bye. And it is used that way. We speak of the spirit of aloha which is so often taken to mean friendship. And it is friendship. But it is more. More than friendship, more than hello and good-bye, Aloha means love. Pure and simple, this is the meaning of that beautiful word. Love.
And even deeper within the word is the meaning of love, which is To be happy with. To be happy with something or someone, this is the great discovery, the most marvelous secret of this knowledge that was discovered by these people. That to love is to be happy with. To the degree that you are happy with yourself, with other people, with the world around you, you are in love. And love is being expressed, and love is flowing. But to the degree that you are criticizing, to the degree that you have anger, are not pleased with, do not like things in people around you, you reduce and diminish love. So that love has nothing to do with pain. Love has nothing to do with hurting people or being hurt. Love is the happiness in any relationship. Love is the happiness and the joy and the friendship and the pleasure in any relationship. Because to love is to be happy with.
The sixth principle is MANA. Mana is a word that has been often misunderstood, taken to mean energy alone. But Mana is an idea that means power, divine power, creative power. The concept of Mana is that there is once source of all power, and that source flows through each one of us. Not only us as human beings, but through the earth itself, through every stone, through every tree, through every cloud. Mana is the inner power that give every thing its own creativity. Mana is the power of the waves, of the sea to come up and kiss the shore. Mana is the power of the wind to carry the clouds and the birds, and blow across the lands and the ocean. Mana is the power of a stone to be strong and and stable. Mana is the power of human beings to be creative, in their own unique way. Mana is that source of power within each person, within each thing in this universe.
Now, most important from this comes the further idea that All power comes from within. This is the principle, meaning that there is no power outside of you that has any power over you. That all the power for your existence comes from that one source through you. That whenever we think that something else has power, whether it is nature, or whether it is another person, whether it is spirit, whatever it is that we think has more power over our lives than we do, all we are doing, according to this knowledge, is diminishing our own power, holding it back, holding it down. And in a very strange way pretending not to have the power we really have.
Now Mana is a power to do something, to be creative, not a power over. So it is that inner power within each thing, within each person to be itself, and to be itself to its utmost potential. Now the more we allow ourselves to experience that power, to feel it, to use it, to claim it, then we have that power to make ourselves match our highest potential.
There is a seventh principle, called PONO, and it says that Effectiveness is the of truth. That there is always another way to do anything. That we are never really stuck in one way, that there is no one way for anything. That there is no one truth, that there is no one method, one technique, one kind of medicine, one way to heal, one way to be happy, that there is only one person with whom you can be happy. There are many, many ways to achieve your goals, to be happy, to enjoy life, to fulfill it. This is Pono. That there is always another way to do anything.
The idea continues with the idea that plans are not sacred. Your purpose might be sacred, but the way you achieve that purpose is not. If you want to achieve a given purpose, however, you must use the means suitable to that purpose. If you want to create peace, then you must create peaceful means. For you will never get peace with violence. From violence you will only get more violence, until someday people may tire of the violence and get together and use peaceful means to create peace. But if you start out with peace in your heart, with a love of peace, says this knowledge, then you will move toward peace in your life. A very, very practical truth this one is. A very practical way of living, with yourself, and with other people.
These are the principles of this knowledge. Practiced by the Kapua, this knowledge called Kahuna, this knowledge that comes from these islands and others like them in the Pacific. Here is wisdom to share. And if you would share this, if you would use this, take any part of it that you choose, that you like, and apply and use it in your own life.
This is the end of my story. May you be blessed with peace and love, power and wisdom. Aloha!
I hope you are blessed by them as I am.

EVERYONE'S SPIRITUAL AWAKENING IS DIFFERENT
EVERYONE’S SPIRITUAL AWAKENING IS DIFFERENT
When it comes to shifts in consciousness, everyone’s story is different. That’s because everyone’s life when the shift begins, is different. Some people are married, some single. Some have a job, some do not. Some are with a soul mate, others have been searching.
Some have financial abundance and some are in dire emotional straits. Some have had a spiritual practice like meditation for years and some are totally new to that world.
A friend of mine has had cancer as part of her spiritual evolution experience. Others have serious injuries to deal with. Some have dealt with the death of a loved one. I had a family crisis of major proportions rock my boat. Indigo kids are providing strong energy of change in many families.
Everything we encounter mirrors us. Sometimes we simply don’t understand what is happening. For example, I experienced a very strong current of energy every night when I got into my bed. It was a buzzy, vibrating, not unpleasant energy that was impossible to ignore. This lasted for over a year. Then it suddenly stopped. What I knew was that is was about shifting my own vibration to match the changing energies.
Some meet people who help them to understand what it happening to them and others feel that they are alone in the dark with these changes. Some awakenings are instantaneous, like that of author and spiritual teacher Byron Katie (see www.thework.com ) and some take longer, like mine. ;)
And then are those souls who have a spontaneous satori, or enlightenment, that is joyful, blissful and uplifting. And even that may result in chaos in their lives because of the strong messages demanding change.The ego is challenged by all of these scenarios. And resistance is futile.
More on this as the days go on.
I invite you to send me your spiritual awakening story for a new book I am beginning work on. 1000 words or less in a Word document would be perfect.
Wishing for you all that you wish for yourself…or better!
Warmly,

IS THIS THE TIME OF YOUR SPIRITUAL AWAKENING?
IS THIS THE TIME OF YOUR SPIRITUAL AWAKENING?
I have experienced a spiritual awakening. Have you? Do you feel the stirrings of it? Or have you already navigated your way through the waters of spiritual change?
90% of the work I do as a spiritual life coach is supporting and guiding individuals through the shift in consciousness they are experiencing. The trip can be rough. Take it from me…mine was no day at the beach. I envy those who experience blissful satori out of nowhere. That wasn’t what I needed….obviously! Musta had a lot more ego and limiting beliefs to shed cuz mine squeezed and beat the living daylights out of me. lol Talk about resistance leading to suffering! How do think it WAS that I learned that! lol
If you are in a place of shifting energies and want support, I would be honored to accompany you on the path and hold the lantern and encourage you.
If you are already living in the New Consciousness then I would love for you to share your story with me for the book I am working on about Spiritual Awakening. It is the stories of others who came before us and succeeded and survived—yes, it sometimes feels like it’s going to kill us!—that inspire us the most deeply and hold the most value as we courageously choose to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Would you share your story to help another evolving soul?
What I know is that if you are experiencing a spiritual awakening then your life is being shaken to its core and so are you. Challenges confront you everywhere you look. You may be suffering physically, emotionally, mentally. Being able to read the accounts of others just like you who went through what you are now going through would offer you comfort, encouragement and strength. I intend for my book to fill that need.
And if you are in a more peaceful place now after your consciousness shifted, then you have much to offer the brothers and sisters on the path behind you.
Hoping to hear from you!
Wishing you all you wish for yourself…and better!

I have experienced a spiritual awakening. Have you? Do you feel the stirrings of it? Or have you already navigated your way through the waters of spiritual change?
90% of the work I do as a spiritual life coach is supporting and guiding individuals through the shift in consciousness they are experiencing. The trip can be rough. Take it from me…mine was no day at the beach. I envy those who experience blissful satori out of nowhere. That wasn’t what I needed….obviously! Musta had a lot more ego and limiting beliefs to shed cuz mine squeezed and beat the living daylights out of me. lol Talk about resistance leading to suffering! How do think it WAS that I learned that! lol
If you are in a place of shifting energies and want support, I would be honored to accompany you on the path and hold the lantern and encourage you.
If you are already living in the New Consciousness then I would love for you to share your story with me for the book I am working on about Spiritual Awakening. It is the stories of others who came before us and succeeded and survived—yes, it sometimes feels like it’s going to kill us!—that inspire us the most deeply and hold the most value as we courageously choose to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Would you share your story to help another evolving soul?
What I know is that if you are experiencing a spiritual awakening then your life is being shaken to its core and so are you. Challenges confront you everywhere you look. You may be suffering physically, emotionally, mentally. Being able to read the accounts of others just like you who went through what you are now going through would offer you comfort, encouragement and strength. I intend for my book to fill that need.
And if you are in a more peaceful place now after your consciousness shifted, then you have much to offer the brothers and sisters on the path behind you.
Hoping to hear from you!
Wishing you all you wish for yourself…and better!

WHAT TRIGGERED YOUR SPIRITUAL AWAKENING?
WHAT TRIGGERED YOUR SPIRITUAL AWAKENING?
I am beginning work on a book about spiritual awakenings and am putting out a call for stories about this from those who have been through it.
Spiritual evolution, spiritual ascension, spiritual awakening…many names for the same experience. Something happens to us. It may be tragic, challenging, painful, difficult. It may be joyful, blissful, transcendent. Whatever it was for you, it triggered the awakening of your soul.
How long did the process last? What did it entail? What were the ‘symptoms’ of it—physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual? What happened to you?
How did you navigate through the changes? Did relationships end? Begin? Did you become ill? Did you ‘drop out’ of your former life? Did you quit your job? Start a new career? How did your consciousness shift?
If you would like to share your story with me I would be very honored. I intend the book I am writing to be informative, supportive, validating and resonant for those going through the experience of a shift in awareness now. If you believe your story could be helpful to someone else, please write it up and send it to me.
Thanks and many blessings,
Jan Masters

SHARE YOUR ASCENSION STORY FOR MY BOOK
SHARE YOUR ASCENSION STORY!
I’ve begun writing my next book. I’m very excited. It’s totally inspired. It’s about spiritual ascension and evolution. And I’d love to include your story in it. Write it up in 500-1000 words and send it to me at jan@everydayjoy.com
These are such exciting…and tumultuous times. Everyone needs affirmation and reassurance and validation. Your story could be pivotal for someone to navigate their ascension experience more gracefully, less painfully.
More about this in the days to come……
Wishing you all that you dream of….or better!

INAUGURATION DAY, JANUARY 20th, 2009
Inauguration Day, January 20, 2009
Just a few months ago we were engrossed in holding the vision of Barack Obama being sworn in on a cold January day in 2009. Wow! Just look at what we collectively attracted! Our vision came true. Barack is our President-elect. The power of collective vision, intention, action, and manifestation is amazing. (I’ll be participating next month as a Habit of Attraction coach in a project that focuses on harnessing collective energies to manifest what each person desires. I’ll let you know more about that as it draws closer. It’ll be powerful and exciting so stay tuned.)
So Barack is really being sworn in one week from tomorrow at 11:30 in the morning. I’ll be glued to the tv. My friends from DC are actually coming to stay with me that week and we’ll experience it together. We’re going to have a pot luck party in the afternoon/evening to celebrate with friends and neighbors who worked hard to get Barack elected and are elated. I think we are all just taking in the enormity of the paradigm shift that our electing Barack Obama represents. One of my spiritual teachers says that as things unfold and manifest it’s just ‘the next logical step’. Yeah, energetically I won’t argue with that, but still, it’s stunning and our little left brains are still catching up with the reality of it.
We collectively decided that we were ready to step into this aspect of the New World. Mobilizing to elect him showed us that. He is our representative in the national and international political area. At the same time, he feels like our brother, doesn’t he? He sure does to me.
So here’s the point of my message tonight: What do YOU need to change within yourself and your life to become a total match for this new paradigm? This new energy? This New World? Or better? Who do you WANT to become to match what we have been dreaming of and finally manifested? Is there anything out of alignment with it for you?
'Remember who you came here to be.' That’s what a bumper sticker I have says. That’s what I’m talking about. How can you invite more aspects of your very best self into your daily experience? How can you use the reality of Barack Obama as our President to invite the highest YOU to emerge? He IS an invitation, you know. The reality of him and the hope he holds out to us invites YOU and ME to step up in new ways and with renewed passion and commitment and enthusiasm. Do you know what to shift in yourself and your life to open to these enlivened energies?
Even if you don’t know, keep walking with these questions as we walk through this next week to the Inauguration. Keep asking yourself. Keep pushing the outer edges of who you are and who you can become.
I’ll write more on this and we’ll open to more magnificence together! Remember ~ what you perceive in Barack Obama is a direct reflection of what truly is inside of you and me……
