<p><strong><a href="http://www.inspiredsoulalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/leaf-water.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-337" title="leaf water" src="http://www.inspiredsoulalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/leaf-water-150x150.jpg" alt="Soul Statement" width="186" height="158" /></a>We are all </strong>vibrational beings, a never ending symphony of movement. Most of which cannot be seen by the naked eye (yet). The tempo of that movement is your vibrational resonance. It&#8217;s your own personal unique song permeating your energetic as well as your physical body.</p>
<p>     <strong>What you experience </strong>in your life is a result of vibrational resonance, the physical evidence of your unique song. This is why your thoughts are such a powerful force. When you tune in to what you want rather that what you don&#8217;t want you are effectively choosing what you want to create. Here are a couple quick and effective tuning techniques, I would  love to hear yours.</p>
<p><strong>Affirm</strong> &#8211; begin with an affirmation that feels like a stretch but is believable to you. Repeat it at least 10 times a day this sets the energy in motion to experience it in your physical reality.</p>
<p><strong>Visualize</strong> &#8211; use your imagination and vividly imagine what you want to attract, be sure to really tap into the feeling. What does it look like, feel like, taste, how will you be in relationship with this experience. Let this &#8216;movie&#8217; roll through your head a few times a day.</p>
<p><strong>Breathe</strong> &#8211; Focus on your breath inhale the feeling of what you desire and exhale any resistance. You would  be surprised how much resistance you may be holding and how your breath will reveal it to you.</p>
<p><strong>Write </strong>- write the story of what it is you are creating with you as the main character , write as if it has already occurred , then read it aloud every day for at least 21 days.</p>
<p><strong>Chakra</strong> &#8211; tap into the energy of your chakras. Identify which chakra the energy of what you desire is located in(visit <a title="" href="../../../../../">www.inspiredsoulalliance.com</a>for more info) and intentionally balance the energy of that chakra each morning and night.</p>
<p><strong>Intention </strong>- set an intention to take 1 action daily towards what you want to manifest. Make that action the first thing you do each day.</p>
<p><strong>Talk to yourself </strong>- leave messages for yourself, notes, email, text messages and voicemail. Congratulate yourself as if what you desire has already occurred.</p>
<p>     <strong>These are a few</strong> methods you can use  to move toward vibrational resonance. A minimum of 21 days are needed to affect the neuropathways in the brain to support a new state of vibration. Commit to a practice for at least that long for the highest success. Do you have a favorite technique for tuning your vibrational resonance? I would love hear your thoughts in the comment section below.</p>

Each chakra processes a different frequency of energy and relates to a different area of the body.</p>
<p>What most don&#8217;t know or pay attention to is the different frequency in the front and back of the chakras. Tuning in o this can make a big difference  when working with blocks in your  energy system.</p>
<p>The front vortex of each chakra relates to the conscious self and our immediate reality while the backside relates to our unconscious self and our ancestral , past life energy.</p>
<p>When working with the chakras, the front side is where we access the energy from this current life experience.</p>
<p>The back side is where we access the energy to connect with our past life experiences, higher dimensions, as well as hidden knowledge, feelings, and secrets.</p>
<p>Here is a handy chart showing what is held where.</p>

			</a>
		</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.inspiredsoulalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/leaf-water.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-337" title="leaf water" src="http://www.inspiredsoulalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/leaf-water-150x150.jpg" alt="Soul Statement" width="150" height="150" /></a> Life purpose is a phrase that is often over used and misunderstood. It’s not a destination, a job, a relationship, or any single thing at all. It’s really an expression of your soul, a soul purpose. Your soul purpose is the guiding light for this journey we call life. It’s the lens through which we filter our dreams, goals, and actions. We take actions to achieve our goals which help us realize our dreams. Your life purpose is your souls call for fulfillment. It is the foundation we use to create our talent for living.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With out it life often feels fuzzy and unfocused, the goals we set seem elusive and unsatisfying if met. It’s as if we set out on a hike and don’t know how to read the compass that we have to guide us. Finding your soul purpose isn’t a long ,drawn out, difficult process. It’s really pretty straight forward, though may take some tweaking over time and  expressing it will take  some practice.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Set aside 30 – 60 minutes and work through the following questions</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li>Who am      I? list at least 10 unique attributes that truly reflect the real you.</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li>What      am I most passionate about? Passion and purpose go hand and hand, write      down everything that comes to mind and circle those with a strong      emotional charge when you feel like you have no more write 10 more(hint go      back to the ones you circled and move from there)</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li>What      were the 3 most fulfilling moments in my life and why. Write the moments      that you felt completely connected, fully alive, and energized.</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Look over your lists and star any common words, feelings, or themes. Take these and all the circled items from your passion list and begin to form a soul statement or vision statement. I’ve included mine below.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To live consciously and in integrity, to vibrate with joy and peace, to inspire choice within others, and to foster a community of acceptance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Notice the patterns in this soul statement align with my overall concept of reality:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>to live consciously</strong> &#8211; aware and actively integrating all parts of my Self</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>and in integrity</strong> &#8211;  walking my talk,congruency,  a virtue required to pursue conscious growth and to be joyful</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>to vibrate with joy</strong> -  my sense of connectedness, oneness, and well being, a feeling of eager anticipation and wonder for each moment as it unfolds and sharing this grateful delight</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>and peace</strong> -  the serenity that comes from being in harmony with Self and the Divine</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>to inspire choice within others</strong> &#8211;  illuminating the ability to choose a higher level of consciousness/awareness, which opens the door for  them to shine their light</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>and foster a community of acceptance</strong> &#8211; to accept each individual as whole and the knowledge that we are all one</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Posting your soul statement where you see it regularly can help you to apply it to everyday life and imbue a sense of ease and flow into even the most mundane moments. I would love to hear your soul statement share it below</p>

<p>Money evokes a myriad of reactions,  especially when connected to spiritual or  healing work. It is consistently in the top 3 concerns for most  people( health and relationships are the other two).</p>
<p>There are universal concerns about &#8216;enough&#8217; regardless of income level, as well as a swirling mix  of  judgment and shame.</p>
<p>Each of us  has an energetic &#8216;DNA&#8217;  encoded in our energy system  this energetic blueprint supports  our  perceptions in all areas of  our life including money and its meaning to us.<a href="http://www.inspiredsoulalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/th_zenstones.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-277" title="th_zenstones" src="http://www.inspiredsoulalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/th_zenstones-150x106.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="106" /></a></p>
<p>Money is an area that, even though all of us  interact with it regularly, is not openly discussed.   There is a cloak of secrecy that surrounds it . This secrecy provides  fertile  ground for old programming encoded in our energy print to continue to run. Even if the old programming is  not congruent with our current reality, hopes, and dreams. In order to create new  experiences  new  patterns must be created and old ones released.</p>
<p>There are many ways to do this, the  key is in identifying the old programming then anchoring the new  while releasing the old. Understanding your unique dynamic comes into play here, a cookie cutter approach will not have lasting effects. Any technique that is used must be  fine tuned to your specific money consciousness.</p>
<p>I would love to have you join the conversation on the<a href="http://www.inspiredsoulalliance.com/the-energy-of-money"> Energy of Money</a> call.</p>

<p>We think of  and experience time in a linear fashion. It&#8217;s a finite resource, after all each year we get 525,600 minutes, that&#8217;s it, no excess  minute bank or depository where we can store them for later use. This sense of not enough time can really constrict your energy flow, it&#8217;s like static on a radio station making it difficult to tune in and get in alignment.</p>
<p>I get still caught up in this from time to time and have to take a step back to reevaluate. The somewhat breathless feeling of can&#8217;t quite get there and the ever so deflating feeling of &#8216;not quite good enough&#8217; as I peruse the long list of &#8216;undone&#8217; things on my list, surely everyone else must always complete their lists.</p>
<p>What if we looked at it differently, not merely as a linear  progression but as an energetic structure that we get to define.  Like a glass that is the structure for holding liquid time is the structure that holds our experiences. Just like  a glass that comes in many different shapes and sizes, time can be shaped to hold our experiences.</p>
<p>When we mark the vacation on our calendar  we create the energetic and physical space for it to occur in our reality. There are different phases anticipation, planning, experiencing, and memories  all contained in this structure. We have the choice to experience these as rushed, relaxed, exciting and yes most definitely it is a choice.</p>
<p>For many of us there is a perpetual audio loop running in our minds  of &#8220;not enough time&#8221;.   Debunking the &#8216;not enough time&#8217; loop is definitely an achievable goal. The  3 major parts of the loop are:</p>
<p><em><strong>Over Scheduling</strong></em> &#8211; creating a structure that&#8217;s too small for the purpose you created it for, like pouring 8 oz of coffee into a 4 oz mug. Allow enough space in your structure.</p>
<p><em><strong>Rigid Guidelines</strong></em> &#8211; we have a sense of rigidity when it comes to  time, while time frames can be helpful  we often use them as blunt objects to beat ourselves with. You know the whole I should  have done&#8230;.. Relaxing into time and allowing some flexibility allows you to get more of what really matters done.</p>
<p><em><strong>Right Timing</strong></em> &#8211; As long as you&#8217;re alive you will never be done, there will always be more to do, and that&#8217;s okay it&#8217;s how we expand and grow. So why not focus on Being and enjoy the process. When we line up our energy and tune in to right timing we can move more elegantly and efficiently.</p>
<p>Time is valuable why not relax into it like you would a fine wine,(or in my case some good dark chocolate) and allow yourself to enjoy it rather than rushing through, you won&#8217;t get more that 525,600 minutes each year but they will be a heck of a lot more enjoyable.</p>

<td valign="top"><strong><em> It&#8217;s  so easy to   give away </em></strong>your power, to abdicate your choice to the &#8216;expert&#8217; or   authority. Yet, inside of each of us is the ultimate authority, your internal   compass, your  inner wisdom.</p>
<p><strong><em>Say for example, your   moving</em></strong> through your day and stop to get a gallon of milk, at the   grocery store there is a woman in a suit expounding on the virtues of a super   juice that&#8217;s bound to make you healthier, your gut tells you &#8220;back away   from the display&#8221;  yet the woman sounds so convincing, maybe your   just being skeptical. You rationalize it&#8217;s only twenty bucks and maybe it   will work.</p>
<p><strong><em>What&#8217;s happened is   you&#8217;ve</em></strong> effectively turned down the volume of your inner wisdom.   We repeat this process over and over again and soon we don&#8217;t even hear the   nudge from our gut anymore; and if we did we wouldn&#8217;t trust it anymore.</p>
<p><strong><em>So when it comes to   bigger </em></strong>choices like changing careers, taking a training program,   choosing a mentor  it&#8217;s really hard, we&#8217;re not talking about $20 here or   a bottle of sugar water, the stakes are higher both in terms of dreams and   cost. So what do you do?</p>
<p><strong><em>This comes up in many </em></strong>of   my coaching calls clients just not sure how to trust themselves. What we work   on is building the trust muscle with their inner wisdom.  It has become   such a big issue that friend and colleague <a href="http://www.trustyourlife.com/">Max Wellspring</a> has a whole   program designed to address these issues on many levels. She says&#8221; In   the face of a time when nothing is working like it did in the past, our   desire to move into a space of &#8220;trust&#8221;&#8230;to trust our   decisions&#8230;to trust our relationships&#8230;to trust ourselves&#8230;to trust a   connection to a Universe that will support us&#8230;goes out like a fervent   prayer.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><em>I find that in   order to trust </em></strong>myself  I must filter the information I am   receiving in my own unique way. For me that includes giving myself time to   absorb and &#8216;feel&#8217; what I am processing and how it fits in to my big   picture(my primary processor is 6th chakra).</p>
<p><strong><em>Understanding and   allowing for</em></strong> this is critical, otherwise  I can end feeling   slow or wrong  for not acting quickly or jumping on a band wagon.    I&#8217;ll bet more that once you have felt the same way.  Have you ever   stopped to think about how you process information?</p>
<p><strong><em> I encourage you to   trust </em></strong>yourself to process the information in the way that suits   you and not let someone else dictate how you make a decision that is entirely   yours to make.</td>

<p><a href="http://www.inspiredsoulalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/poker-hand.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-158" title="poker hand" src="http://www.inspiredsoulalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/poker-hand.jpg" alt="" width="124" height="93" /></a></p>
<p>I recently finished a great book, (easy quick read) The Power of  TED by David Emerald. There is a quote in it &#8221; What determines your destiny is not the hand you are dealt but how you play the hand. And the way to play the hand is to see reality for what it is and to act accordingly&#8221;.</p>
<p>At first blush it seems like a take off the rose colored glasses type of statement,(I am quite fond of mine thank you very much) it&#8217;s only when you look a little deeper that it is apparent that this is about personal truth. It&#8217;s about what you feel called to express and how you chose to do so. Because reality is highly personal, what I see as nirvana; say a hot sunny day at the beach is someone elses nemesis.</p>
<p>So, looking at &#8216;your hand&#8217; through the lens of what you are creating takes on a new meaning. Others can try to define it for you, if you let them, yet nothing fits like your own unique view. What is the truth of your reality? How are you shaping your destiny? What part of your hand can you look at through a different lens and then act from your inspired soul? Is your energy lined up? or is it scattered and ineffective? Are you fully utilizing your 7 Centers of Influence?</p>

<p>You hear a lot these days about life purpose. Your &#8216;why&#8217; , why you do what you do. I think of my &#8216;why&#8217; as the inspiration that breathes life into all that I do, I didn&#8217;t always feel that way.</p>
<p>The thing is,  often we can feel it pulling at us, calling us forward yet we really are not sure what &#8220;it&#8221; is. Trying to answer the call can be scary, unnerving, and just a plain pain in the butt. It&#8217;s that insistent starting out out subtly then getting progressively stronger and harder to ignore. You know that sense of there&#8217;s something more, something not yet expressed that needs an outlet.</p>
<p>For many, especially women, most of our lives have been spent nurturing others and along the way we&#8217;ve somehow( between the car pool, soccer games, job, and household chores I can&#8217;t  imagine how!)lost touch with who we are and what really feeds our soul. The thought of exploring this while tantalizingly appealing can feel like just one more hoop to jump through.</p>
<p>Try this quick fun exercise to begin tuning in to your purpose, your &#8216;why&#8217;.</p>
<p>Think back to when you were a kid. What did you love to do? What did you dream of doing?  Ok, now think about why you loved or dreamed doing  it. This is where the gold is. Look back over your life and see if you can find glimmers of that why in the choices you made.  Make a conscious choice to nurture this in small ways at first and then bigger as you get acclimated to thinking this way.</p>
<p>So what is your &#8216;why&#8217;? How does that relate to purpose for you? I look forward to hearing your thoughts.</p>
