Carving Out Your Future

Dusting off your Desires

Michelangelo, when ask how he carved such magnificent sculptures from blocks of marble, his reply that there is a person captured in that block and he must carefully carve around it to release it. Some of our dreams are like that they are buried deep beneath the surface and it is up to each of us to uncover those truths and learn to live for them.

Julia Cameron who wrote ”The Artist’s Way, A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity” tells of ways in which we can tap back into our own creativity (discover and recover our creative self). She gives step- by-step techniques to assist us on our path. One that I am particularly fond of is called the Morning Pages. Simply put the morning pages are three pages of longhand, strictly stream of consciousness writing-also knick called “brain drain.” Move your hand across the page writing down whatever comes to mind. Write without reading. The MPs are intended as a creative recovery tool. We tend to have a lot of negative mind chatter. Make this rule: the censor’s negative opinions are not the truth. Think of the censor slivering around as a hissing snake in your creative Eden or your censor as a cartoon of a Jaws shark, hang it and put an X through the shark.

“ Words are a form of action, capable of influencing change.” Ingrid Bengis

Abraham teaches The Law of Polarity which simply put is in order to know what we want it sometimes can be clarified by that which we don’t’ want. This CONTRAST in life can give us our “rockets of desire” that are launched from the discomfort of the situation. Dr. Joe Vitale addresses similar steps in his book, “The Attractor Factor.”Joe adds 3 more steps, get clear, nevelize your goal (passion) let go, take inspired action.

Now to get to our process which involves first a free flow or “stream of consciousness” writing session. Think about all of the things you want in your life. This list can include material things or things you want to accomplish in this lifetime. They can involve health, wealth, relationships, friends, families, finances, or new careers or services you hope to experience. The sky’s the limit, you list all of those things you want in your life.

1. Take five sheets of lined notebook paper.

2. Begin writing ALL of the things that you think in your life. If you want it— write it on this paper. Write on both the front and the back of the page. Continue this “free flow” writing until you have filled the front and the back of all five pages. Dream big, be specific, list all of the dreams that have lain dormant, “dust them off” and bring them back to life in these written words.

3. Next select or whittle down your favorites by circling or lining in color your favorite ten things on each side of each page. Read carefully to select the dreams and desires on your lists that have the strongest pull and for which you feel the greatest passion. Pick the dreams on your list that really get you excited and feeling good.

4.On a new sheet of paper, now go back to each list of ten and select one thing, again we are whittling down our lists to get to our most important desires in order to carve out the life of our dreams. Now you want to rewrite these dreams on this new sheet of paper.

Another analogy is like panning for gold, we see the nuggets ( the big dreams) mixed with sand and water ( the not as important things )and as we shake the pan, the water and sand ( the non essentials) run off— leaving the golden nuggets of our strongest desires.

The Law Of Attraction - Creating Magic With A Vision Board

By Patty Tolar

If you have seen The Secret I am sure you remember the story that John Assaraf told about manifesting the exact home that was on one of this Vision Boards. You too, can experience equally amazing things in your own life. Your ability to manifest what you want and create the life you dream of living can take a quantum leap forward when you create a Vision Board and put your attention on it daily.

Creating a Vision Board is a fun and creative way for you to become clear on your dreams and desires and transform them into reality. We become what we think about and our lives are created from our thoughts. Unfortunately we spend much of our lives thinking about what we don't want and often that is what we draw into our lives. One of the most powerful aspects of a Vision Board is that you create a visual representation of your dreams and desires helping you to put your attention on what you want to manifest in you life. Because our subconscious mind doesn't know the difference between reality and visualization it will help you to create what you dream about if you have a clear focus on what you desire.

Put the Law of Attraction to work by using a vision board to bridge the gap between your dreams and what you are actually experiencing in your life. It will bring your dreams to the forefront of your mind and require you to make a commitment to them, daily. This will strongly influence your ability to manifest them into reality.

• A vision Board helps us to become very clear about what we want

• A Vision Board makes your goals visible and keeps them in front of your eyes

• A Vision Board reminds you of what you want

• A Vision Board allows you to choose your goals

• A Vision Board reminds you of what you are working for

• A Vision Board keeps you in a positive mood - as you put your attention on it you will feel yourself receiving what you desire

• A vision Board allows you to create a purpose in life

With a Vision Board you create a visual image of what you do want in your life and place you attention on it every day. See it, believe it, receive it! A Vision Board is a daily visual reminder that keeps you focused on your goals and dreams.

Talk to your FUTURE Self to co- create a GOOD LIFE

(Equivalent to Telling a Different Story)

Fact: 75% of our thoughts are negative

Our words have creative power. With our words, we can either bless or curse our future. If you want to know what you’re going to be like 5 years from now, listen to what you’re saying about yourself; even the small things you say over your life from “I’ll never get that promotion” to “I’m just so tired all the time.” The moment we verbalize a thought, whether positive or negative, we give that thought the right to come true.

To see Source’s best in your life, you have to stay conscious and use conscious languaging to speak victory over your life. It’s not enough just to “not speak anything negative.” You have to take it a step further and speak FAVOR over your life. You can’t speak defeat and expect to have victory.

There is a correlation between what we say and what SOURCE does, but nothing happens until we speak our faith out. When we speak our beliefs into WORDS ( love letters), the moment these emotion filled ideas come out of our mouth, something happens in the unseen invisible realm. We may not see it for a week, a year or even ten years, but the laws of the Universe are working behind the scenes.

If you will keep saying the right thing, the positive thing, the joyous thing, speaking FAVOR, speaking favor, speaking health and wholeness, speaking abundance and prosperity, speaking love in relationship, speaking gratitude and appreciation in your perfect livelihood—these are the seeds you’re sowing, and you can be certain you will reap what you speak. Remember these are the laws of the Universe and Source is going to make all your crooked places straight.

”Sentences are like sharp nails which force truth upon our memory.”

Diderot

Reap What You Speak Process:

Consider that the majority of us remain STUCK in the same thought processes day after day, night after night. We do the same things, go to the same job, eat the same meals, talk the same talk.

In order to shake things up, would you agree that we would have to change something. Drive a different route to work, take a vacation, read a new book, changes wake us up to a new ALIVENESS.

What we will be writing is a love letter to our FUTURE self. Imagine a heartfelt desire that has manifested in your life and how that feels. Now IMAGINE how whatever you are currently dreaming about and how that will feel. Put yourself into that present reality and put into words what that will feel like.

Step 1:

Consider,when writing a love letter to your significant other, they are gone and have been and your heart yearns for their companionship, your words drip with the emotions of your heart. You want a combination of WORDS and FEELINGS in these letters. Write your letters with just such feelings.

Step 2: Within the body of your text and based upon the idea that as we speak we affirm. Write an affirmation into the body of your letter ending the paragraph with this affirmation of truth.

Step 3: Self Talk: Read aloud/silently these LOVE LETTERS while looking into a mirror, on break at work, upon awakening and before retiring for the evening.

Remember that our words have creative power. With our words, we can either bless or curse our future. If you will keep saying the right thing, the positive thing, the joyous thing, speaking FAVOR, speaking health and wholeness, speaking abundance and prosperity, speaking love in relationship, speaking gratitude and appreciation in your perfect livelihood—these are the seeds you’re sowing, and you can be certain you will reap what you speak.

“Your life is a living picture of your beliefs. You won't always get what you desire, but you will always get what you believe. If you want to know what you believe, take an objective look at your life. If you have a life filled with happiness, health, and love, your beliefs are working for you. If your life is filled with frustration, depression, lack, or struggle, your beliefs are working against you.” "Make Your Dreams Come True," Pamala Oslie

Hiring from Heaven, Jean Slatter

“ It all began when I came to understand that I was not alone, that spiritual helpers stood ready and willing to be hired in the cocreative expression of my divinity. Unified with Spirit, I realized I was master of my universe and designer of my world. This was a message of freedom and power.”

Alchemy of Abundance, Rick Jarow, PhD

“Our deepest lines of purpose are reawakened through adversity. During these periods you may go through a sense of rudderlessness, of confusion, of not knowing what to do. Someone once said, “ that when a door closes, another one opens ,but there can be a long hallway in between and I am in that hallway. This practice of abundance says when you are in the hallway, let yourself be in the hallway. Let yourself get to the bottom of the confusion, let yourself be with whatever process is going on. This transitional period needs to be embraced with openness and compassion and above all patience. This practice of abundance gives you the faith to take the road that has not been taken, to go through the dark wood, instead of trying to force a change to happen that is not ready to happen. Remember if you stay open,the greater the crisis, the greater the reward.”
