How Daydreaming Creates New Possibilities

daydream

Affirmation: I dare to dream! And I dare you to lead with your dreams.

Daydream, visualize, create and make your dream life your everyday reality.  Relax, and open your mind to receiving.  Allow your thoughts to play the movie and let creation unfold.

You are reading this blog post, this message, because the universe is reaching out to you. It wants you to be open and receptive to new ideas. It’s calling out to you to spend quality time daydreaming. When you engage in daydreaming you allow for inspiration, new possibilities, and ideas beyond what your logical mind accepts. Follow the trail naturally and see where your thoughts and feelings lead you. Be peaceful, gentle and loving. Then write down your ideas and ask for guidance on the steps to take to put your dreams into action. Move forward fearlessly with love. You are about to create something magnificent.

I have some wonderful news about an amazing woman who recently made her dream a reality. I couldn’t be more proud of her, because I remember the day she announced to me that this is what she was creating for herself in her life. What a blessing to have  such an inspiring individual in my life. Her name is Dr. Lori Friesen, she is the creator of Five Steps to Finding Your Inner Happy and is launching a new book  called How Your Dog Can Help Your Child Read, Lead and Succeed. Her dream was to have her program endorsed by Jack Canfield, acclaimed author of Chicken Soup for the Soul and The Success Principles.  She put it on her vision board, voiced it in affirmations, and lived her life in joy and gratitude while it played itself into reality. Within less than a year, she made the official announcement to us all, “Today I celebrate achieving one of my goals on my vision board! Those ladies who have attended my “Five Steps to Finding Your Inner Happy” workshop will remember that I had a picture of Jack Canfield and I on my vision board. My intention was to ask if he would review and then endorse my “How Your Dog Can Help Your Child Read, Lead, & Succeed” program. Well – today I celebrate one small, incredible miracle in an amazing journey! Remember to remain grateful, to act and feel as if, and to take one small step every single day towards your dreams – they really do come true.” (source: https://www.facebook.com/FiveStepsToFindingYourInnerHappy)

Jack Canfield writes, “Dr. Lori Friesen’s How Your Dog Can Help Your Child Read, Lead & Succeed  is a remarkably simple program that produces extraordinary results. It is a transformational experience for kids and their parents that combines the principles of success with innovative reading strategies while helping parents develop a deeper bond with their kids. If you want your child to thrive in reading and develop the skills, confidence, and compassion required for success in life, Dr. Friesen’s program will show you.

An Exercise in Giving and Receiving

givingreceiving

Affirmation: I AM aware of the thoughts and energy I offer the world. For what I give out to the world I receive. I AM the creator of my life.  

I’ve been studying A Course in Miracles and the lesson I just completed was on Giving and Receiving.

When you think about giving and receiving there are times when we able to give more, and other times when we are put in the position to need to receive more.  At one time or another it may not feel completely balanced but overtime life does seem to create a balance with giving and receiving. Also we need to keep in mind that sometimes things come in different ways. The energy is the same, its just that the form it chose to manifest in was different based on an individuals perceived need.

 A Course in Miracles teaches us that what we give out comes back to us in equal amounts. Whatever you offer is returned to you. The idea here is to be truely conscious in what you give out, how much you give and the feeling attached to it, because what you give comes back. This isn’t just centered around physical items, help, etc. This includes what you think.  Think negative thoughts, those get sent out and that energy comes back to you in one form or another. Think positive thoughts, those get sent out and that energy comes back to you. Now this can really put things into perspective. Think of all the thoughts that run through your head every day. The ones you latch onto, the ones that quickly pass by, the ones you voice. Listen to what you are thinking and/or saying because whatever it is, is energy you are giving and that energy is coming right back to you like a boomarang.

So the question here is: how much love energy are you giving out throughout the day? And by love energy I mean unconditional love, acceptance. Catch yourself throughout the day and notice what you are giving out. If it’s something you wouldn’t want back, stop yourself and change the energy.

Here’s the exercise from A Course in Miracles I’ve been practising.

Affirm the things that you would like to have given to you and offer them to others.

  • I offer everyone peace.
  • I offer everyone love.
  • I offer everyone success.
  • I offer everyone prosperity.
  • I offer everyone support.
  • I offer everyone compassion.
  • I offer everyone wealth and financial abundance.

As you recite what you give out feel how much of it you are giving. Then pause for a moment to allow the universe to give that energy back to you. Take your time with each affirmation and really feel what you are giving and receiving.  Do the exercise in front of the mirror and repeat it when it comes to mind as you go about your day.

Love Your Life

Love Your Life ~ Altar for Sarah Pugh | Sunset Season Opener

Love Your Life ~ Altar for Sarah Pugh | Sunset Season Opener

Affirmation: Love Life! I am aware of the miracles happening around me. I love my life. I AM LOVE.

Last weekend a part of my life was dedicated to honoring the memory of some very special people, Sarah Pugh and DJ/Music Producer Scott Hardkiss, amongst the presence of my extended and soul family at the 2013 Sunset Season Opener. The theme of the weekend LOVE YOUR LIFE!

I met Sarah Pugh a little over 12 years ago through the San Francisco Sunset Party Collective. I can’t express to you how infectious her smile and spirit were. She’s always been such a great inspiration to me. I have many cherished moments with this beautiful soul and they will certainly continue to live on because those moments will serve as divine inspiration to the gifts I continue to share. Most of them involve either dancing behind DJ Sean Murray (Pasean) or moments with the Living Fae Faerie Temple at the Sunset Campout, which typically involved Sarah showing up to help me decorate it at just the perfect moment. It was usually right around the time I was tangled up in the curtains somewhat frustrated. There she would appear, just like a faerie, to calm me down and get things straightened up.

Scott Hardkiss, I was lucky enough to have a brief encounter with back in the mid 90s where I did a short interview with him on a rave docu-film project I was working on called XTV. I’ve been dancing to his tracks for many years but there is one that stands out in my mind. The track that served as a great inspiration to me, my spiritual path, my life journey, is God Within Raincry (Spiritual Thirst). To this day, its still one of my favorite tracks of all time!

The weekened and moments like these always give you perspective on life. They help to remind us what is important, how precious life is, and how much we must love our lives.  I am so very thankful and grateful for all people in my life. Thank you Sarah, thank you Scott. Thank you Sunset! Everyone I encounter is truly a blessing.  So much love to you all!

Harmonic Convergence – December 21, 2012

Album Cover for Sol Starz [Solstarz.com]

Album Cover for Sol Starz [Solstarz.com]


I AM THAT I AM! I am awake and aware of my life purpose. My divinely empowered spirit has flowered into its full form. I am my higher self in every moment, every breath. I walk the path. I AM the way. I AM THAT I AM.

That’s my mantra for 12.21.12. By now, I’m sure you’ve heard a lot about this date. It’s the end of the world. The end of the Mayan Calendar. The beginning of a new world. The Age of Aquarius. Whatever you have heard, it is a much anticipated date and a very exciting time.

I was first made aware of the date and time back in the early 90’s when I had first discovered the Internet. My experience with the Internet led me a on path of discovery as I navigated my way through hyper-links learning and reading about things I hadn’t been exposed to before. Because of my curiousity and spiritual nature I was always drawn to everything I read about the date, so I’ve known since the 90’s that the date never meant “the end of the world” as so many people like to refer to it. Instead it’s a movement into a new state of consciousness.

When you hear its the beginning of a new world, what it means is that you have the ability to move into a new dimensional state of being.  You will live in a state of mind and stream of consciousness that equates to the vibration you choose to be in. And it will be an amplified state of being.  So when you wake up, you might not see a different world, but if you choose to heighten your vibration you’ll see the magnificence and awe of the world around you, and that’s the new world you will live in.

So on 12.21.12 BE IN THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE VIBRATION YOU CAN BE IN. And do whatever it takes to be there. Gratitude. Humility. Joy. Happiness. Excitement. Faith. Trust. And for me it includes a whole lot of FAERIE DUST. You are responsible for your vibrational tone. You are responsible for our vibrational tone. The world’s. The earth’s. The universe.

For many years I thought I would go to Machu Picchu, but instead I’ve decided to make my way to Costa Rica. I’ll be in Los Angeles for the first part of 12.21.12 and then I’m leaving on jet plane… Whereever I AM you can trust I will be meditating and vibrating in the highest possible vibration I can achieve. Setting the intension and affirming all that I AM.

I encourage you be there with me. Whereever you may be. Join me and the  World Parliment on Spirituality for the Harmonic Convergence on 12.21.2012.

Love, light and faerie dust,✶*¨`*.✫*¨*.¸¸.✶*¨`*.✫*¨*.¸¸.✶*¨`*.✫

Vow to BE HAPPY

Affirmation: Happy, Healthy and Holy AM I. I vow to speak words of light and love and to refrain from complaining.

I went to a kundalini yoga workshop with Gurumakh and Tej at Golden Bridge yesterday to celebrate the autumn equinox. It’s a magical time of year so doing a workshop working with powerful yogis seemed like the perfect way to celebrate.

Tej warmed us up for the first half, then Gurumakh took over and cooked us. It was an intense class but well worth it. We had one meditation where we sat knee to knee with a partner holding each others hands with elbows bent slightly raised. Seems simple enough. Until you have to hold it for 11 minutes. I held on, but I can tell my mind certainly went to that place where I thought, “Oh my god. My arms are dying! Is it over yet??!”

I gained a lot from the workshop. I always do when I attend one, but there was one message from it that rang strong for me and so I want to share it with you. Gurmakh challenged us to vow not to complain all the way through to the winter solstice, Dec. 21, 2012. She told us it has been proven that everytime we complain it affects the chemicals in our hypothiamus gland and depletes them. Even just being around it listening to someone else complain affects us as well. It turns our brain to mush!

I made the vow and I challenge you to make the vow too. So any time someone asks you how you are doing say, “I AM great!” And anytime you catch yourself about to speak anything but words of light and love, stop yourself and remember your vow. Then see how it affects your life over the next few months. I’ll report back on my results. I’d love to hear what the vow does for you too.

If you are ever in Los Angeles or New York, I recommend checking out Golden Bridge even if kundalini yoga isn’t your regular yoga practise. It’s a beautiful place to take a class with a very loving, supportive spiritual community.

Faeries!

Summer Solstice ~ Living Fae

Affirmation: My wishes and desires have been heard. They are carried on the wings of faeries and through divine timing arrive at the perfect moment. I AM the creator of my wishes and desires.

Can you hear them? Listen closely. They are the silent whispers and giggles dancing among the leaves and flowers. They see you. Can you see them?

Whether you can see and hear faeries or not. Whether you are believer in their magic or not. Whether you are believer in their existence or not. Trust! Trust that just because you can’t see, hear or touch something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Believe in the power within you to manifest your dreams and wishes into a reality and have faith that they coming. Have faith in divine timing.  There are many reasons why things do and don’t happen when we think we want them to.

Let go of any controlling thoughts on how your wishes and desires should arrive. Allow them to show you their magic. Its amazing how they’ll pop up on you at the most unsuspecting times if you let them.

Oh, the beauty and abundance of summer.  All the seeds we planted are in full bloom.  Enjoy your summer and enjoy receiving everything you’ve been asking for. Remember to take notice with joy and excitement when they arrive and be sure to express your deepest gratitude for all the blessings bestowed upon you. The faeries tell me there are many.

Happy July 4th!

Share Your Love

Shaman Durek @ Lightning in a Bottle

Affirmation: I open my arms and share my light and love with the world. I bring happiness to myself and others. I AM love.

It’s been a while since I’ve made a post. My new job and summer festivities have led me to a place where I’m now trying to keep up with myself. Yes, the pace of my life has definitely sped up a bit since the period of my life I refer to as “my dress rehearsal for retirement”. I felt it was time I stop for a moment and dedicate time to No Plan To Happiness.

That’s my soul brother Shaman Durek in the photo above hugging someone who just listened to him speak at Lightning in a Bottle. He spent a good minute hugging each person who stood in line to meet him after he finished speaking . Here’s a person who has dedicate his life to sharing his light and love with the world. He’s an amazing soul.

Its so important to share your light and love with the world. The more you share the light and love eminating from within you, the more you unconditionally love and accept yourself and those you do and don’t know, the more your life will  shape into the beautiful divine magic that is within you.

So share your love today. Remember to give yourself and those around you a great big warm hug. I hope you realize how amazing and beautiful you are.

You are light. You are love. May the magic of summer bring you great blessings. Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends and family!

With love, light and faerie dust, ✶*¨`*.✫*¨*.¸¸.✶*¨`*.✫*¨*.¸¸.✶*¨`*.✫

Change in Direction

from apartmenttherapy.com

Affirmation: My new phase in life has transformed into a magical garden. I follow my path to a beautiful bright future.

What’s new in your life? Embrace it! Love it!

Mine certainly has landed in a place where my life took on a whole new direction. Embracing a big change like this can sometimes prove to bring out feelings of uncertainty because everything is so new. It can certainly throw you out of your comfort zone.

It’s good to get thrown out of your comfort zone, and uncomfortable as it might be, it helps you to learn to establish a whole new level of comfort. One that you might have thought you could never possibly have. When things are new and uncertain it brings out a whole new world of possibilities for you. And those new possibilities somehow actually begin to seem possible. Imagine that!

So change direction. Do something different. Make one small step towards something new. You are protected now and in your future. Your future is bright!  All the changes you experience are being directed by your willingness to trust yourself. The more you open your heart to love everything around you. everything in your life, the more your path will lead you to the place beyond your wildest dreams.

True Desires

image from thebeldam.tumblr.com

Affirmation: I know my true heart’s desires.  I AM clear, open and ready for their magic.

Later this week I’m heading to an annual music and art festival in Southern California called Lightning In A Bottle. This will be my second year attending the festival. I was so inspired by the festival last year that I decided I wanted to help build altars at the Temple of Consciousness this year. The Temple of Consciousness is an area of the festival where they have workshops, speakers, yoga, and meditations. They also have beautiful altars all throughout the temple.

My desire to help led me to not just assist with building the altars but to be given the opportunity to have Living Fae build our own altar in the Temple. So later this week Living Fae (Melanie Dawn & Anne Elizabeth) will be heading there to build an altar. Not only are we excited to have this opportunity to share what the divine inspires us to create but we are also very excited to be working along with Brent “Shrine” Spears who is well known for his amazing temples at Burning Man, Lightning In A Bottle, and Coachella. He is also responsible for the design of the interior of the House of Blues chain.

Another highlight of the event for me is having an altar we’ve built be somewhere where Shaman Durek is speaking. Some of you may recall me blogging about Shaman Durek in my Choose Life! post. Shaman Durek is speaking at 10:30am – 11:30am  on Sunday, May 27th ~ Expanding Your Vessel. When I started building altars at public events it was in collaboration with an event Durek was speaking at so its very exciting for me to be in the same space again with him. It’s like we’ve come full circle.

Building altars is most certainly one of my true hearts desires. I love what it invokes in and evokes from me. I love what channels through me. I love how it comes together in the most magical way. I love the stories they tell. But most of all I love what I’ve seen them bring about for others. It’s always music to my heart when I see someone meditating in front of the altar.

Building an altar is a great way to discover your true desires. However, I know that isn’t for everyone.  If you want to tap in and be clear on what your true heart’s desires are then I recommend looking at images, writing a story and making a creative visualization board.

Something about the magic in the above photo spoke to my heart. Looking at it brings a huge smile to my face. It brings out a sense of awe, beauty and wonderment.  And it reminds me of faeries which I love.

What are you true heart’s desires? Do you have a clear vision on them? Do you know you deserve them? Are you ready to receive them?

Start by looking at images and seeing what kind of emotion that image evokes.  You can go through magazines, your own photos, or check out some great places online like Pinterest. Choose the ones that resonate with you on a deep level. Then once you can see how that image has opened your heart let it speak to you. It’s sure to give you an indication of what it is you desire more of. Sometimes it may bring out something you might desire less of. In this exercise focus only on the ones you desire most.

The next step is to collect a series of images and let them tell a story. Get out scrapbook, and tell your story. Begin to journal your story along with the images.  You’re the main character. Write it in the affirmative and present tense as though it were happening now.  Feel excitement, joy, love, tenderness, peace and the beauty of your emotions as you experience the magic of your desires.

One thing I’ve learned through No Plan To Happiness is not just how important it is to imagine and believe in all your dreams and wishes. But mostly importantly you must let go of how you think they should happen and allow life to guide you to them.

Cleansing

photo from withstyle.me

Affirmation: I AM healthy, vibrant and full of energy.

I noticed internally my body hadn’t been feeling very good so I thought it might be time to do a cleanse. May is a great time for cleansing too. It’s good to do a cleanse at least once year and it’s been more than a year since I’ve done one, so I’m definitely due.

The cleanse I do is a liver cleanse that my yoga instructor taught me a while back. I’ve given this cleanse to many of friends as well. I done it both with them and on my own. It’s always great to do it with someone if you can but its just as easy to do it on your own too.

Here are the instructions for the cleanse:

Every morning drink 1 glass of water with 1/2 squeezed lemon.

Eat ONLY fresh fruit and raw vegetables. You can “lightly” steam some vegetables as well. (They should still be crunchy).

Drink 8 glasses of water a day. You can also have coconut water and fresh squeezed juice. I like to make my own juices.

On your veggies you can have olive oil and sea salt.

Wash your skin only in sea salt (no soaps). For moisturizer you can use almond oil if you need it. I sometimes mix them together.

Do an enema every day. You can do a coffee enema, chamomile tea enema or lemon and water (use 3 squeezed lemons). You can get an enema kit at any Walgreens.

Do this for 7 days.

On the last day stop eating at 2pm. Make a mixture of epson salt (the kind that is a laxative) and water in a jar. You can add lemon or an emergen-C to help with the taste.

At 6pm drink 1/4 of the jar.

At 8pm drink 1/4 of the jar.

At 9pm mix 3/4 cup of olive oil and 1 fresh squeezed grapefruit and drink it.

Go to bed.

At 6am drink 1/4 of the epson salt jar mix.

At 8am drink the last 1/4.

Some time will pass and you’ll likely start not to feel very good. This is OK. You are doing the final flush of your system. Make sure you are near a bathroom. 🙂

What should come out is a lot of little cholesterol deposits. This is good as it serves as a preventative for gallstones.

That’s it!

There are many different cleanses out there but this is the one that I like to do. Whether its this cleanse or another one I encourage you to do a cleanse. You will feel great!

I hear so many people make excuses when it comes to cleansing. Everything from I couldn’t go without eating meat, my schedule won’t allow for it,  to my body will go into shock, etc. You can a cleanse anytime you decide you can do it. That’s all it takes.

If someone came along and said to you that you would get a million dollars at the end of the week if you did the cleanse would you be able to do it? Somehow I think so. So think of it that way, its only a week of your life and you might not end up with a million dollars but you will feel like a million dollars. Who knows if you’ve got manifesting mastered you might end up with a million dollars too. 😉
