We are all 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’s your own personal unique song permeating your energetic as well as your physical body.

     What you experience 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’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.

Affirm – 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.

Visualize – 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 ‘movie’ roll through your head a few times a day.

Breathe – 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.

Write - 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.

Chakra – tap into the energy of your chakras. Identify which chakra the energy of what you desire is located in(visit www.inspiredsoulalliance.comfor more info) and intentionally balance the energy of that chakra each morning and night.

Intention - set an intention to take 1 action daily towards what you want to manifest. Make that action the first thing you do each day.

Talk to yourself - leave messages for yourself, notes, email, text messages and voicemail. Congratulate yourself as if what you desire has already occurred.

     These are a few 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.

Stuck in a rut with the same old, same old. The spark and sizzle has fizzled out. Whether it’s your love life or the creative spark your looking for paying some attention to your sacral chakra can put the zing back into your game.

A fun way to get the energy moving is to try some hip swinging, move your hips in a figure 8 pattern starting out slowly and picking up speed. You can add some sass with a snap of the hip or a shrug of the shoulders to boost the energy a little more.

Taking a couple of minutes to swing those hips will stimulate your sacral chakra, where your creativity, sensuality, and pleasure resides, and there’s no telling where that might lead……

Here’s a video to show you how, this ones for you Sarah

We are all faced with hundreds of choices each day, yet there are some that just get under our skin. You know the decision that feels so big or important that you find yourself questioning everything about it. Then just when you think you’ve got it down 3 more possibilities pop into your head and your back at square one.

Making a major decision triggers 3 things in the subconscious: the fear of the unknown, loss of control, and unworthiness. This shows up differently for each of us both in intensity and the actual way that it feels. Everyone has a hot spot that triggers their decision archetype more intensely, be it relationships, finances, or business.

There are 5 major decision archetypes. Most of have a blend of types depending on the situation and a highly charged situation will activate the primary archetype. Here are the core mindset, thought patterns and choice set points.

Tortoise

Mindset: choosing is overwhelming

Thinks: I just can’t make up my mind.;  Why is this happening to me?;  I just don’t know.

The choice is not to choose

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hare

Mindset: speed = success

Thinks: Just get it over with already.;     Never mind over thinking it.:     Move on.

The choice is made fast without full exploration.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sparrow

Mindset: change is scary

Thinks: The devil you know is better than the one you don’t.;     I’ll stick with what I know.;     Don’t disrupt the apple cart.

The choice is the familiar, no change.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Porcupine

Mindset: conforming gives up all freedom

Thinks: I’m not following the crowd;     No one tells me what to do.;     I’ll do my own thing; don’t tell me what to do.

The choice is whatever is different, regardless of what they really want.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To change it’s important to interrupt the pattern. Each of our bodies contains its own set of energetic vortexes, lines and points that facilitate communication between the mind and body. This communication gets disrupted, sometimes completely disconnected, and we lose the fullness of our inherent well-being. It is difficult to access your best decision making ability with this disconnection.

Using tools to tune in to body’s subtle energy system to interrupt the long-standing patterns of neurotransmissions that we’ve established creates a pattern interrupt, allowing you to see things from a different perspective and choose differently. When you’re faced with a choice, deciding which path to take triggers your decision archetype, because the mind likes to categorize you go to what is familiar.   Energy work like chakra cleansing, EFT, conscious connection, can  create new neuro-pathways for decision making. This allows you to disconnect from the emotional baggage you may have around making a decision and change in general. The result is a more balanced, worry-free decision making process that allows you to be open to opportunity and the many possibilities that life offers.

We are all spiritual energetic beings yet so often we forget the energy of being. The day to day routines, busyness, and ‘shoulds’  keep us disconnected. In day to day life with all that we do how do we keep the connection to our essence?

When we are in meditation or removed in some way from our day to day life we can often connect with our inner stillness, the essence of who we are and allow it to permeate our energy field.  Once we mix in the husband, children, job, life in general the connection fades.  As our energy field absorbs the energy around us; the roles we’ve defined for ourselves, the beliefs we hold, and the energy of others it’s easy to slip into the state of doing without conscious awareness of being.

We forget that as spiritual energetic beings we can experience the external without becoming it. We become attached to outcomes, circumstances, and ways of doing. When we become attached we limit the possibilities, narrow the field of vision. By attached I mean needing it to be just so, and excluding other possibilities.

There is an old parable floating around that goes something like this: There is a great flood and a man prays to God be saved from certain death, a row boat comes by and the man says “No, I’m waiting for God”, same thing happens with the rescue boat, and then a helicopter. The man drowns and when he gets to the pearly gates says “God why didn’t you rescue me?” God replies “I sent a row boat, a rescue boat, and a helicopter what else did you want?”

Having a preference for something is not attachment .The man in the parable was attached to how he would be rescued.  A preference for say, yellow flowers does not mean all flowers need to be yellow, simply that you like them better.

When we step into the energy of being we open the door to possibilities that we may never have even dreamed of.  When we are in the energy of being we are tuned in to the essence of who we are.  This essence does not have the constraints of limiting beliefs, attachments, or preconceived roles to play.

Awareness is the first step to staying in the energy of being.  Becoming aware you can bring your conscious attention back to the present moment, and step out of doing and into being. Using your breath is a great tool to stay in the energy of being.  Taking the time to focus on your breathing brings your attention back to the present moment and energy of being.  Consciously taking three deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling through your nose, periodically throughout the day will help you stay in the energy of being.

This at first seems to be a narrowing of focus, what it does is expand the possibility in ways that doing alone cannot access. Expressing the essence of who you are is a powerful and inspiring act, one that has a ripple effect. Will you add your ripple to the pond of life?

It’s in there somewhere covered with piles of paper, the desk, the one you’ve not seen so for so long forgotten what it looks like.  The folder you need is nowhere to be found.  You’re sure you have an appointment today if you could just find in the hundreds of emails in your inbox so you can check the time.  The phone rings and as you reach for it, your coffee spills, not the way you intended to start your day.

We all know how hard it is to work with a cluttered workspace.  You can’t find things, it feels chaotic, and you just don’t work very efficiently.   What’s happening here in the physical is a reflection of your energetic space as well.

The external is often a mirror for the internal, so all that external clutter very likely means you’ve got a whole bunch of internal clutter, energetic resistance that’s interrupting your flow.  But how do you know?  And really, what can you do about it anyway?

Try this:

• Take a look at an area in your life where you’re feeling stuck or struggling.  That’s the external clutter.

• Then set aside 15 minutes to write out all of your frustrations, fears, and desires for the area that you kept.  Anything and everything that comes up for you.

• Then take a deep breath and allow all of those emotions removed for you.  Just imagine them as if they are floating down a river that flows right down your spine and allow them to flow right out into the sea where they’re neutralized.  {An alternative to this would be to use a whiteboard and write all your frustrations there and then erase them.}

• Now, allow back into your mind what it is that you truly desire.  Notice if there are any fears or limiting beliefs or self-sabotaging habits that pop up.  And if they do, just let them flow out like in the step before this.  And keep doing this until you’ve got a nice, clear stream flowing.

What you’ve just done is clear up some energetic ‘clutter’. Very often when you finish this exercise, you’ll find that you really want to get that clutter cleared out of the way in the physical as well.

An issue that has popped up lately  in client calls as well as MasterMind  groups has been  “How do I know if I am procrastinating or if I’m following my  inner guidance?”  We are so conditioned to keep moving that it feels foreign when we get the signal to slow down or stop so we can integrate what we’ve learned, plant the seeds we need to plant  or  tend to the tender seedlings. Our  first inclination is to judge ourselves and try to push forward labeling it ‘procrastination’. Often  our  Higher Self will send the signal to slow down, take  a look here, or  connect with this person but we second guess it….even more often if it requires deviating from the timeline of what we think ‘should’ be done.

There is immense value in observing the cycle of things.  When learning something new taking the time to allow the information or skill to take seed is vital. If you have just started a new project nurturing it, like a new seedling, and allowing it to grow is exactly what is needed, trying to  harvest at this point would be a waste of time. Once a project is near completion it is ripe for harvest, prime time for reaping what you have sown. The most often ignored part of the cycle is the fallow period where it’s time to sit back and renew, rejuvenate and allow the next idea to form.

Now  there are times when plain and simple it is procrastination, like when you really don’t want to do something and suddenly doing the laundry is of vital importance. The key is to tune in enough to tell the difference. The most basic way to tell the difference is to tune in to the physical triggers , a twitch in your eye, a tightening of your stomach, a relaxing of your shoulders.  Triggers are highly individual but each of us has them and it’s pretty simple to identify them. It takes paying attention to the way your body is feeling when making a decision, or responding to an event. Once you see a pattern you have identified  a body trigger.

In the external world when you get the signal to slow down and you push through it often times things just don’t click, it’s a tremendous effort to get things done. On the other hand  when you get the signal to move forward  things just fall into place, you still take the action but there is a distinctive flow to it. My friend Allison says it’s her Higher Self making sure she has right timing. And that’s really what it’s all about, right timing not someone else’s timing. We all are so tuned in to external time frames that we have a hard time  tuning in to the internal ones. Try tuning in and really listening to what your body is telling you, you will be pleasantly surprised.

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.

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.

Set aside 30 – 60 minutes and work through the following questions

1. Who am I? list at least 10 unique attributes that truly reflect the real you.

1. 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)

1. What were the 3 most fulfilling moments in my life and why. Write the moments that you felt completely connected, fully alive, and energized.

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.

To live consciously and in integrity, to vibrate with joy and peace, to inspire choice within others, and to foster a community of acceptance.

Notice the patterns in this soul statement align with my overall concept of reality:

to live consciously – aware and actively integrating all parts of my Self

and in integrity –  walking my talk,congruency,  a virtue required to pursue conscious growth and to be joyful

to vibrate with joy -  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

and peace -  the serenity that comes from being in harmony with Self and the Divine

to inspire choice within others –  illuminating the ability to choose a higher level of consciousness/awareness, which opens the door for  them to shine their light

and foster a community of acceptance – to accept each individual as whole and the knowledge that we are all one

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

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).

There are universal concerns about ‘enough’ regardless of income level, as well as a swirling mix  of  judgment and shame.

Each of us  has an energetic ‘DNA’  encoded in our energy system  this energetic blueprint supports  our  perceptions in all areas of  our life including money and its meaning to us.

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.

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.

I would love to have you join the conversation on the Energy of Money call.
