Claim What's Yours

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”

―Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You'll Go!

We've all been in places that we'd rather not be. But how many of us would still be there if we KNEW a fool proof way to make today's glass ceiling tomorrow's foundation?

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, -or- you have to eat it to know what's in it! 

My point is that, although it's possible to read something and understand it completely, you cannot accomplish what you're intending through understanding alone. Conscious action is necessary- whether in the form of visualization, physical doing, attitude accountability, creating new habits, cutting cords with toxic relationships and substances, etc.

ॐ

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got.

Try something different:

Reach outside of your comfort zone

and apply your will, motivation, effort, and habits

towards what you want to create for yourself and your life.

You cannot get to where you want to be if you do not will it.

You cannot begin to move in the direction of your dreams

if you don't take it upon yourself to motivate yourself.

You cannot achieve what you want to accomplish without applying effort.

And you cannot apply effort if you keep giving in to your same old, oppressive habits.

Take responsibility for your life,

accountability for your actions and happiness,

and claim freedom now. 

I came across an amazing page today in search of something for a loved one that reminded me of the power we carry within ourselves, that most of us have forgotten about. It's the unlimited power to create anything we choose~ you can read it here.

At the above link Stefan states, "If you fail to learn to use the law of attraction, you’ll continue to struggle and manifest bad things in your life.  If you can learn to take advantage of it, you possess the ability to create and manifest anything you want in your life."

Basically, if you don't watch what you think, believe, do,  desire, or expect to the degree of abolishing destructive or debilitating subconscious patterns and ways of being, you'll continue to witness your life going in directions other than what you would want for yourself. 

There's more to manifesting than simply holding the vision in your mind, although visualization alone is extremely helpful in helping one to achieve goals.

To take advantage of the Law of Attraction:

define your dream: know what you want

get clear on what is desired

believe in your ability to manifest anything you desire

believe that it's not only possible, but already on it's way

create goals in alignment with desires and beliefs

take action in alignment with pulling the vision into physical existence

let go of the outcome while you focus on your goals

while letting go of being attached to how they manifest

  

I know it sounds easier said than done, but that's where practice comes into play.

L I T E R A L L Y, play. Have fun with it!

The more enjoyment you get out of what you're focusing on,

the more you can feel the passion you have for it and the joy it would give you,

the faster it will become real to you.

"Unless you consciously choose a different future, your past will decide it for you."

—Rod Stryker

Here's couple more powerful statements from Stefan: "If I didn’t have the success I have now, then I would have told you that it’s B.S.  But because I have undeniable evidence and have experienced it working for me first-hand, I am a believer.  I attribute the law of attraction to helping me to create everything I have in my life – the good and the bad.  I take full responsibility for everything that happens for me, the good and bad, as I truly believe that I’ve created and manifested EVERYTHING." and "The way the law of attraction works is simple:  Likes attract likes.  A vibration will attract a similar vibration. The closer the vibrational match, the stronger the magnetic pull. Whatever frequency that you put out is being pulled back towards you, or is attracted to you."

This may sound like a new age idea, woo woo, too much work, or too mystical to be practical or even real- but what do you have to lose by really applying the effort it takes to see if it works for you or not, other than something to complain about or remain in misery over? 

What's a commitment of four to six weeks of continual practice towards the life of your dreams in the grand scheme of things? It's small and doable for everyone!

The concepts I'm speaking of here have been said throughout history by some of the world's leading masterminds who have reinvented the world as we know it. The only reason it may seem so foreign is because of the agenda to keep people on the hamster wheel, which we may step off of anytime we're ready. 

If you need more proof that this concept has worked for others, you can do a quick internet search and pages upon pages of results will pop up in less than a second in most cases with account after account of the Law of Attraction working for them.

I can honestly say from my own personal experience that it does actually work. I've seen the good and the bad and it has all come from my mindset, intentions, and actions. The good shows up when I apply my ability to focus, make decisions based on what is truly best for me, and use my mind's eye to visualize what I want more of. The same is for the opposite. If my intentions are no good, I'm lazy and playing small or a victim, and my thoughts are made of piss and vinegar~ that's what I get.

It's comfortable to fall into the limited mindset of judgment, dismissal, or falling into the countless reasons of why it won't work for you. Push through those limits by reviewing the beliefs you carry around manifestation, universal laws, and anything that's outside of your current scope of awareness regarding similar subjects.

One cannot manifest what is wanted when they don't first believe that they can.

"Your very intention to keep believing, even in the face of challenges, will often be enough to carry you through any rough spots and keep you focused on the outcome you want." ―David Hooper, author of The Rich Switch - The Simple 3-Step System to Turn on Instant Wealth Using the Law of Attraction

When you have the desire and believing in yourself parts down, the action plan will almost manifest itself because your harmony with it is building momentum towards its manifestation.

A profound statement made by Napoleon Hill in his 1937 unedited edition of Think and Grow Rich, “When faith [by which he meant belief] is blended with the vibration of thought, the subconscious mind instantly picks up the vibration, translates it into its spiritual equivalent, and transmits it to the Infinite Intelligence, as in the case of prayer.”

And more profound statements on manifesting came from Claude Bristol, author of The Magic of Believing in 1948, “We are moulded also by the thoughts of others; by what we hear in our social life, what we read in newspapers, magazines, and books, what we hear in the movies, the theatre, and on the radio; even by chance remarks from the conversation of bystanders --and these thoughts bombard us constantly. Some of them that accord with our own inmost thoughts and also open the way to greater visions in our life are helpful. But often there are thoughts that are upsetting, that weaken our self-confidence, and turn us away from our high purposes. It is these outside thoughts that are the trouble makers, and later I shall point out how you can keep free of them." "However, I would like to point out that hard work alone will not bring success. The world is filled with people who have worked hard but have little to show for it. Something more than hard work is necessary: It is creative thinking and firm belief in your ability to execute your ideas. The successful people in history have succeeded through their thinking. Their hands were merely helpers to their brains.” ―Claude M. Bristol, The Magic of Believing

Believe in You.

I Am Authentic

How am I so happy and yet so sad at the same time?

What’s wrong with wanting all my reasons to rhyme?

I look in the mirror grateful that I survived

and simultaneously wonder how I’m alive

How much suffering can one person take?

If I’m not being crucified, I’m burned at the stake.

What’s wrong with wanting all suffering to end?

Why is that most only have one true friend, if that?

How many people must I be forced to walk away from?

Why do I want to feel when I’ve always wanted to be numb?

What has changed in me that’s causing this revolution?

How did I break free from the institution…

that broke me into a million tiny pieces

and told me salvation lies in my thesis?

 ➳

My worth isn’t found in textbooks or assignments

or in someone else’s interpretation of my alignment

with who I know, where I'm going, and where I’ve been

or the balance between my yang and my yin.

I determine my value and where I’m going,

whether I’m growing or whether I’m towing

baggage from thoughts I refuse to heal

or letting them go in order to reveal

exactly who I Am.

Limitless, powerful, sexual, and expansive~

I Am.

ShadowWork And Manifesting With The New Moon

The New Moon is the perfect time to welcome transformation, growth, and abundance. 

It's the birthing of a new lunar cycle when we get to see the shadow side of the moon in all her glory. 

She provides us with soil for us to plant our seeds and intentions that we'll tend to over the next four weeks, and with continued effort, manifestations will come into being faster and faster.

This is a time when we go within ourselves... deep within ourselves, to investigate our current lifestyles, habits, thought processes, and internal dialogue of all sorts to cultivate balance, compassion, and confidence.

We learn to love and accept those aspects of ourselves that we don't want others to know about or that we hate about ourselves. We illuminate these elements through self-exploration to understand where and what underlying beliefs and experiences they are sprouting from. We search for the roots.

It can be mentally difficult to navigate through these types of things, so to help ease this suffering simply remind yourself that you're remembering who you are more and more every day and as long as you don't quit, you can't fail. We all fall short sometimes and we can pick up right where we fell off.

Everything about who you are has been changed by who know, who you've known, where you've been, what you've seen and heard, how and what you were taught by others,

not to mention your general experience as a human on this planet.

The media and advertising industries tell us that we're not sufficient as we are in every possible way and it encourages us to do things and be people that we'd rather not do or be. But, we do it. 

We do it because we're taught how to not be confident, how to speak when spoken to, how to be who everyone else wants us to be, to doubt ourselves, to abuse ourselves and to allow others to abuse us. 

We're taught that if we don't look a certain way or live a certain way, we're not acceptable or we're lower than. We're manipulated to believe in illusions and lies and the truth makes people angry.

Until we take responsibility for ourselves and our sovereign right to not be mistreated,

this is how it will stay. 

 

Integrity means doing the right thing when no-one is watching. Anyone can act right when they're around people they want to impress- Impress yourself.

Do the right thing for yourself. Believe in yourself. Cheer yourself on. Love yourself. Care about yourself. 

Use this New Moon energy to set intentions that help you discover who you are, going deeper and deeper every single time you look within. Let it usher in the birth of who you want to be.

NEW MOON HEART ACTIVATION

Center yourself by placing one hand over your heart and the other over your solar plexus.

Take a few deep, cleansing breaths while holding your hands in these positions

for at least 13 to 33 seconds,

and throughout the rest of the visualization.

Envision a violet fire blazing in your heart, pulsating and soothing

everything currently being held in this space.

Breathe into any anger you feel in your heart until it changes to compassion.

Breathe into any hostility, stress, or pain that you may feel anywhere in your body to surrender control and allow yourself to hear what it's trying to tell you.

Breathe into sadness, fear, anxiety, and depression to let go of the past, the future,

and what you cannot change.

Breathe in peace, love, light, and clarity.

Connect with the fire in your heart and envision it burning brighter and bigger, smoldering all that no longer serves your highest good.

And throughout your day, when you find you're loosing your grip on tranquility, put your hands back where they are now and take ten deep breaths~ filling your belly fully and visualizing the flame in your heart burning through anything that disrupts your peace.
