Natural Beauty

Affirmation: I live in harmony with nature, acknowlege its beauty and respect its resources. I AM one with Mother Earth.

Did everyone have a nice supermoon the other night? I had the priveledge of seeing it over the ocean. It was big and lavendar. It was magical and breathtaking.

I’m sitting here in my back patio at my home in Redondo Beach enjoying the beauty and magic of the nature which surrounds me. It’s a beautiful sunny day. There is a slight breeze with a hint of the scent of the ocean. There are butterflies and hummingbirds fluttering around the red and purple flowers. It’s peaceful and serene. When I sit outside like this, breathing and taking everything in, I harmonically connect with everything around me. I tap into my spirit on a deep and introspective level. I feel expansive and I see how we are all interconnected.  I see how we are one, and not just you and me. Everything. The air, the water, the earth and all its creatures. And what I feel commands a great respect.

One of the most important causes today is our environment and nuturing a love and friendship with the earth, the air and water. The earth is our life force and continuing a downward spiral to pollute does not serve us. The ground we walk upon is not seperate from us. We are connected to it. We are one with it. Just as your fingers, toes, arms, eyes or nose are a part of your body, we are a part of the earth. Collectively we are Mother Earth.

Spend some time outside and allow yourself to connect with the nature that’s around you. Feel it. It’s a blessing.

A Gratitude Blessing

Affirmation: I AM so very grateful for the miracles and blessings bestowed upon me. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

When I began writing No Plan To Happiness I was starting a journey. One that was very much an internal and external exploration.  Externally I journeyed all through California, Nevada and Arizona, and was given the opportunity to spend more quality time with my friends and family. Internally I was brought deeper into my spiritual path and my faith and belief in miracles were put to the test. Life can appear to be challenging when your faith is put to the test but I can’t tell you how thankful I am for it, because it really strengthened my faith and trust in everything I believe in. Everything that I write about.

Anyhow, where I arrived is all very exciting and new, and a dream come true! To give you a little more detail I’ve landed my dream job and I am absolutely in love with my new home. And the way my life has been transforming around that is exactly how I always dreamed it would be. It didn’t come without letting go of the struggle and embracing a big change in my life though, in whatever form it decided to take on. One thing I learned was the more I stayed grounded, clear, happy, and thankful the more the form it took on was something I saw as beautiful and awesome. The affirmations and meditation I did were my key tools. I AM so happy to embark upon this next chapter of my life.

One of the key things you learn through this process is just how important being in a state of gratitude is no matter what is going on around you. There is always something to be thankful for. So be sure to take some time each day and thank your I AM presence for all the miracles and blessings bestowed upon you. Even just the simple things.

Now if you’ll just give me a moment, I would like to bestow a Gratitude Blessing on you. This is something I do every year at the Sunset Campout with my Living Fae faerie sister Anne Elizabeth.

Let’s get grounded….

Take a deep breath in, hold it… 1 – 2 – 3

Breath Out.

Take another deep breath, hold it… 1 – 2 – 3

Breath Out.

Take one more deep breath, hold it… 1 – 2 – 3

Breath Out.

Now fill your heart with the feeling of gratitude. Allow it to open. See a bright green spinning light over it. You should start to feel your heart get warm. If you need to think of someone or something you are enternally grateful for.

Once you are in a state of gratitude read these words outloud.

Thank you! I AM so very grateful for your presence in my life. Thank you for taking the time to read No Plan To Happiness. Thank you for your comments. Thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts and everything I learn along the way. Thank you for being YOU! You [I AM] an amazing person. You [I AM] a blessing to this world. A blessing to me. So thank you, thank you, thank you.

”May the sun bring you energy by day,

May the moon softly restore you by night,

May the rain wash away your worries,

May the breeze blow new strength into your being.

May you walk gently through the world

and know its beauty all the days of your life.” [apache blessing]

I AM

image from weheartit.com

image from weheartit.com

Affirmation: I AM that I AM. My wishes are fullfilled.

I’ve been working with Dr. Wayne Dyer’s I AM WISHES FULFILLED mediation. I’ve found it to be both a very powerful meditation and have now seen my very own wishes fulfilled after repeated work with it, so I want to recommend it. This is where today’s affirmation comes from.

I combined my meditation work with listening to his audio book, WISHES FULFILLED: Mastering the Art of Manifesting. You can very easily just do the meditative work with I AM WISHES FULFILLED but I think either listening to the audio book or reading the book is a great compliment because Dr. Dyer provides a really good understanding of “I AM,” which comes from St. Germain’s The I AM Discourses. I read The I AM Discourses quite a few years ago, but Dr. Dyer helped me gain a more clear perspective and understanding of it, which I believe has given me a whole new perspective on the world and how I AM choosing to think and live my life today.

So what does “I AM” mean? I AM is you. I AM is me. It’s very common for us to use the words I am when we are speaking about ourselves. But how “conscious” are we of what we are saying.  I AM is GOD. I AM is your connection to the divine source of creation. In Sanskrit I AM is “So Hum.” When you say I AM you are affirming something about yourself, connecting with the divine, and you are creating your future. So when you say I AM remember to be conscious of the words you use that follow for you are telling divine source what it is you wish to create in your life.

I AM THAT I AM, is the mantra that Dr. Dyer tells you to use in the meditation. “That” refers your intension. What you do is write your intension down and then in meditation “that” takes the place of your set intension. The sounds used in the sound meditation were taken from the Moses Code, and according to Dr. Dyer by combining the sounds with the mantra you are tapping into the most powerful way to manifest your desires.

What I can tell you is from my experience I found what I was working on to manifest very quickly once I started began meditating along with the mantra and sounds. Anyone who is close to me knows just how long I’ve been working on making my recently fulfilled wishes a reality so I’m very honest when I say they manifested more quickly once I began working with the meditation.

Be sure to check them out. And may all your wishes come true. Faith, trust and a little bit of faerie dust!

My Higher Self

Altar by Living Fae

Affirmation: I AM my higher self.

Try saying that outloud at least 1o times. Let it sink in. Absorb the idea that you are… I am my higher self. What does that mean to you?

I picked up Dr. Wayne Dyer’s Wishes Fulfilled: Mastering the Art of Manifesting audio book today. Then I hopped in the car and began to drive back down the LA freeway to the beaches with my mom. I put the first CD in and began to listen to what Wayne had to say. While I listened intently to every word my mom fell asleep. Every so often she would wake up and yell out, “Wayne’s yelling at me!” or “Where am I?” It was pretty amusing at the time. The funniest part was she seemed to wake up and yell those phrases at the most perfect moment. It seemed to align with everything I was hearing him say.

As I continued to drive Dr. Wayne began to discuss the notion of the higher self and how choosing this course, listening to his CD, was really about committing to the idea that you are your higher self now. As he spoke of this I felt myself aligning with everything he was saying, and at the same time I could feel my ego hesitate on the concept.

When I began my study of uniting with my higher self I was always looking at it in a way that it was me, but it was a me I was working at becoming. A me I communicated with, but was somehow not where I was now. Let’s say I saw this me in another life or dimension. I wasn’t there yet. It was a goal or a journey I was taking to get there. But then Dr. Wayne had me take a new look at it. As I said the words outloud in the car, “I AM my higher self,” I began to have a new understanding of who “I AM” was,  who “I AM” is. I AM is me. I AM is you. I AM is my higher self. I AM is your higher self. Our higher self, I AM, is the the divine being, the spark, the light, that exists within us. Once we can grasp that concept we can release the limitations we have set for ourselves because our higher self is not something we become. It is something we are. It’s something we have always been and will always be.

I AM THAT I AM.

If the knowledge of your higher self is a new concept to you. Think of it as this:

Your higher self is the perfection of who you are. The all knowing. The all powerful. The unlimited. The essense of this perfect self living here on Earth and you act in accordance with how your perfect self lives on Earth. You are perfect. That is which you are. Absorb the thought and allow it to resonate within you. See what transpires from that. I AM LOVE. I AM MY HIGHER SELF. MY HIGHER SELF IS LOVE. YOU ARE LOVE.

Transform Your Life

from peaceandloveism.com

Affirmation: I AM the cure! I transform my life with my empowered thoughts and beliefs.  

Spread the word! There is an empowering film designed to help you live a happy, healthy productive life. I encourage you to watch The Cure Is U! Click on this link to see what it’s all about.

I’ve learned through dedicated practice how much our thoughts and beliefs affect our lives.  When I chose to change what I was thinking and focus on empowering my thoughts with focused intension I watched things appear and my life transform before my very eyes. I’ve also seen how a belief can create a condition that we have the power to change by beginning to work on changing our thoughts. If you can access where you first chose that belief and identify your patterns you can learn to dissolve the part of yourself that first attracted your condition.

Over the past few months, since I’ve been writing No Plan To Happiness, I’ve watched my life transform. I started with “Entering the Unknown”.  At first I was just placing my foot in to test the water. Now I’ve learned to completely embrace the unknown. The more I continue to embrace it combined with doing the meditative work and affirmations the more I have watched myself be guided to some truly inspiring experiences.

Check out The Cure Is U now! It’s important! Transform your life.

Spirit Dancer

The art of Lorra Lee Rose Photo by Jon Wilhelmsen

Affirmation: Through creative expression I share my true self. I allow my light to shine with the elegance and simplicity of a spirit dancer.

Today’s affirmation came with the help of The Faeries Oracle by Brian Froud and Jessica Macbeth. I couldn’t have turned over a better card from the deck. Before I pulled I had set the intention to use images from The art of Lorra Lee Rose for today’s post and the Spirit Dancer card is so fitting for her art.

The art of Lorra Lee Rose

I saw the art of Lorra Lee Rose at the La Quinta Art Festival the other day and was so inspired by it. I was really in awe when I walked around her booth. Not only did I think it was some of the most beautiful art I’ve seen but I found it touched me deeply on a spiritual level as well. The part that came bursting through was truly my Spirit Dancer.  The faerie in me that loves creative expression and then sharing it with others to see what it stirs in them.

The art of Lorra Lee Rose

Is there a project in the creative arts you’ve been working on or have wanted to do? Seize the day. Carpe Diem. Explore, experiment and express. Unleash your best fantasies and make them come to life. There are so many ways you can express that inner part of yourself waiting to come out. Write, draw, paint, sculpt, collage, dance. Make a creative visualization board ~ cut out images, phrases, and affirmations and paste them on a board.  Take that beautiful light that’s been growing inside you, shine it and share it with the world.

For those of you who took on the 21 day Meditation Challenge, today is day 21! Thank you for taking on the challenge with me.

Choose Life!

Tribal BODY Markings by AMIR \|/ | Amir Magal

Affirmation: Sometimes following your joy guides you in the direction to be there in any way that you can to help heal someone’s life.  Life is miraculous, life is beautiful. I choose life!

You know I wrote that affirmation, but I’m more than sure it was Durek who taught me that. 

My friend, my soul brother, Durek Verrett (Shaman Durek) needs a kidney transplant. His sister, Angelina Verrett-Byrne is donating her kidney. Kidney transplants now days are a very successful, somewhat simple procedure. It’s still major surgery however. With Durek, it’s a bit more complicated so after surgery he will actually be quaranteened for some time. Rather then go into detail about the complexities of Durek’s surgery I encourage you to watch the video where he explains it all.

Due to the extensive costs of surgery and recovery time, Durek and his family need help financially. It would be so much appreciated if you could donate to his cause. Every dollar counts. If everyone out there could spare a dollar they would reach their goal.

Know this…. When you donate money to this cause, when you press that submit button, you will have contributed directly to saving someone’s life. The life of a very special person to me. Not only that, Durek helps, heals and saves so many people on a daily basis. So a dollar to his life is really a dollar compounded with interest because saving him means you save so many more.

My friend Durek Verrett is a healer. He has been as long as I’ve known him. I remember our first meeting. It was in San Francisco at Squat and Gobble on Haight Street. We were there with Jason Peacock (J-Bird of Sunset/Pacific Sound) and Manny (DJ M3 Green Gorilla/Black Pancake Records/Monarch). That was back in 2001. From there it was faerie soul sister-shaman soul brother love at first sight. Kindered spirits are we for sure!

I can’t tell you how many Sunset Parties we spent dancing in front of the DJ booth to Galen, Solar, J-Bird, Sean Murray, M3, Monty Luke, Joshua Iz, John Howard, Jeno and the many, many, many amazing DJ’s that graced the tables at Sunset. Definitely more than I can count. From the dance floor we went to ceremony where we’d collaborate on what the annual Saturday ceremony for the Sunset Campout in Willits would be, to the altars where we’d sometimes dispute over the items I was going to place on it. I always got my way btw… hehehe.

Then Durek moved to LA. I followed shortly thereafter. We’d already talked for years about how he was going to take his healing practise to the next level and he felt LA was the place for it to prosper.  And it certainly did.  In the meantime, I was continuing to work on my own career. Durek was always there supporting and encouraging me along the way. Honestly, I would not be the Faerie I am today without his guidance.  He’s my Merlin.

Then one day, life took a drastic turn and Durek ended up in the hospital. This was about 8 years ago. It was seriously touch and go. The doctors pronounced him dead more than once but he kept reviving himself. I remember walking into his room in ICU and it looked so blank and empty, and he looked so frail. It was still soon after he was first admitted, and all I could think was… “oh my goodness, he’s forgetting who he is.” Maybe that was the case or maybe it was just my shock but it was my reality for a moment. Soon after that, so much love came pouring in. And by that I mean people. People came from everywhere. They sent emails of love and encouragement, and I read them all to him. So many people came actually that his sister Angelina had to create a waiting list just to see him. Thank goodness I was put on the VIP list! The nurses even kept asking us who he was because they thought for sure he must have been a rock star with so many people stopping by. But that’s honestly how many people he had already helped at that time. He had already poured out that much love to so many people and they wanted to return it. Again, that was 8 years ago.

In the last 8 years, Durek has had to be on hemodialysis. It saves his life on daily basis but he needs to get off of it. His partner Hank Greenberg has been there by his side ever since. In addition to the dialysis, Durek has been in and out of the hospital and has had to have multiple surgeries. He almost died again last year due to an anerysm. Hank has been there every step of the way. Words can not express the love and gratitude I have for Hank. It is truely an honor to know him.

Watching Durek evolve into the Shaman Durek he is today has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. He has given me hope, faith, love, encouragement and COURAGE! I will always continue to pursue my dreams because of him.  Durek has touched and healed the lives of so many people, and I know he is destined to help so many more.

So please, if you could take a moment and donate to Durek. I’d be forever in your gratitude. You can donate here at Operation Get Shaman Durek A Kidney until March 31st.

Steady Progress

Cathedral Rock, Sedona, AZ

 Affirmation: I acknowledge my progress on this life journey to align all my thoughts and feelings with love, peace and harmony. I practise the law of attraction and know I’m on the right path.

We are three days into the Chopra Center’s 21 Day Meditation Challenge, how are you feeling? I just finished today’s guided meditation and I’m certainly filled with a sense of peace and well-being. It’s good to acknowledge and recognize our progress, so take a moment today to Thank Yourself for the work you are doing. The more we can acknowledge where we’ve come the more we are encouraged and allow ourselves to continue.

Thanks so much to everyone who has joined The Meditation Challenge with me. It feels good to know I’m sharing the experience with you. And I’d also like to take this moment to thank everyone who has been reading and following my blog. I feel so much love and gratitude for you all. You are all such a blessing in my life.

My BFF Bea has left on a jetplane to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico today. She started a new blog called Bea, Anywhere that gives lots of great insights and info into the different places she travelled to so check it out! We traveled from the “happiest place on earth” Disneyland – to sin city Las Vegas – to the magnificent Grand Canyon Skywalk – to alien encounters at Area 51 – to mystical Sedona – to the mysterious ghost town Jerome – to being “surprised” on the way to Palm Springs [there is city named Surprise in Arizona] – to the magic and illusion of the Magic Castle in Hollywood – all which led us right back to the place we left our hearts, the city of summer love San Francisco.

We had an amazing journey together. It was full of magic and adventure no matter where we were.  During our downtime we watched copious video clips of two adorable rising stars, my new favorite fairies Princess Sophia Grace and Princess Rosie.

Thank you again. I will see you in meditation bliss! Namaste.

A Meditation Challenge

Affirmation: Through the power of meditation I tranform my life and discover the untapped potential that rests within me. I live the life of my dreams.

The Chopra Center is having a 21 Day Meditation Challenge. Care to join me and the many others who have committed themselves to taking on the challenge?

It’s said that it takes 21 days to get yourself into a habit or daily ritual. What do you think your life could look like, would look like if you committed yourself to 21 consistent days of meditation?

I’ve practised various forms of meditation for many years now. I’m not always consistent, but I do know that when I dedicate myself and have a daily ritual my life shifts and changes in miraculous ways. It always goes in the direction that makes me happiest too. Why wouldn’t I just do it all the time then? Good question. Let’s just say I let myself get in the way sometimes. You know the part that likes to distract or create reasons for not doing it.

I’m dedicated to continuing to make my life a powerful journey of following my joy, so I’m taking on the Chopra Challenge. Let’s do it together and see where we end up 21 days from now.

It’s easy! All you have to do is register and give yourself a bit of time to meditate every day for 21 days. We can all make the time. The Chopra Center is even going to provide us with free guided meditations.  You can Register Here.

The Challenge starts February 2oth.

See you in bliss! Namaste.
