What are you attracting into your life?

I'm here in Ft. Lauderdale on a mostly unplugged vacation :-) taking a break by the ocean - my favorite place to be. Reading and reflecting...

Question...is there an area in your life that is not unfolding as you would like? Or a goal you'd like to achieve? Health? Finances? Relationships? Job? Instead of giving your attention to thoughts of lack, regret, fear or insufficiency, try visualization.

Shakti Gawain's Creative Visualization lays out 3 main steps:

1) Set a goal. Is your goal to be debt free, find a healthy relationship, work you love, write a book? Make sure it's clearly articulated.

2) Create a clear idea or picture; a mental image. Imagine how you will FEEL when you reach that goal. How free will you feel to be debt-free? How loved will you feel in a healthy relationship? How will it feel when you sell 50K books? Really feel into it like it has already happened. Imagine...

3) Focus on it often. Take a few minutes each day to revisit your goal and how you'll feel when you achieve it. Even just 5 minutes a couple times a day.

4) Give it positive energy. Have fun with it. Repeat the process every day

The goal here is to dissolve any internal barriers or dis-empowering ideas about your life and the power we inherently have. And when thoughts that are contradictory come up, don't fight them...it gives them more power...just let them flow past like clouds passing, and return to your positive images.

For example, one of my goals is to buy a condo on the ocean by the time I am 50. We went to visit a furnished model in the exact condo I had visualized. Now I have an even clearer mental image to visualize. I imagine myself sitting on the balcony, reading, entertaining friends, feeling so incredibly grateful as the ocean breezes blow by. And as I continue to visualize living there - while simultaneously enjoying, being present to and greteful for my current home - I am drawing my vision to me. May not be that condo - but I know that vision will manifest in some way, shape or form - according to the highest good for all concerned.

Creative visualization has worked in my life in so many ways - try it for yourself. Maybe you call it something different, but the key here is to - while staying in gratitude for the present - consistently revisit and FEEL into your goals for a life fulfilled.

Be well and blessed.
