MUSE-INGS: Where’s your ‘Lens of Learning’?

Life can certainly leave us myopic when we focus only on our self and what we want. We can forget that we are living in the Earth School so that we can spend this time on the Planet to facilitate our Soul’s growth. Maybe we each need to wear a magnifying glass necklace (I happen to own one!) to remind us of our possibilities for learning in every situation.

When people work with me in the intensity of A Day With Your Muse, a full day session wherein we work through a process to bring clarity to their vision and a plan for implementing that vision, we often spend a lot of time working through family of origin issues or internal blocks that they might not have realized were holding them back. So, even though they think they are focused on their business or their future, it is the personal growth work that allows them to experience the quantum leap forward in their desired success.

What are you not learning today? What can you not see clearly because you think that ‘personal growth work’ means setting aside time to meditate or journal or have counseling/coaching sessions? Maybe the learnings are present all the time and all you have to do is notice them.

Remember, we human beings are learning machines. Watch a baby. Every moment she is learning something new. Every step a toddler takes is feeding information to her about what walking is all about, and sometimes what it is NOT about!

If you think that you do not have time and/or energy to devote to working on personal growth at this time in your life, then think again. Look at every item on your to-do list as a task under the category of ‘Personal Growth Work’ and the actual task you are accomplishing as the classroom in which you are doing the learning. The energy is already expended. The focus can be two-fold: get the task done AND learn something for your personal growth.

Maybe our brains aren’t really that great at multi-tasking, but we are certainly good at creating meaning in our efforts and experiences. We learn what works and what doesn’t work. We try something. We interact with others and create ways to be successful in those interactions.

And we can learn something about ourselves, about how the world works, about what our roles are, and about how we can continue to grow through every experience in our daily lives.

MUSE-INGS: Make It So

How compelling is the vision that you have for your Life? DO you have a vision?

This was brought home to me by a good friend who asked me about my vision. I had some ideas but I hadn’t fully fleshed out the vision. As she asked me more details I started to get excited. I knew the details! I could see the colors, hear the sounds, feel the breeze and the temperature. I knew exactly how it would feel to be in that scenario. I could see other parts of that life, too. Active parts and relaxing parts.

And it felt really good!

Then, when I went back to writing some marketing copy, something I’m not particularly fond of doing, I had a renewed interest and excitement because it wasn’t about having to do the chore of writing the copy – it was about supporting that Life that I had visited in my vision. THAT’S a motivator!

And so I invite you to create a compelling vision for your Life, one that draws you forward toward it. If you find yourself talking about what you don’t want in that Life, that’s okay but move your language to the other side of that coin and talk about what you DO want. Sometimes we get information from the identification of what we don’t want but if we dwell on that we energize the very thing we don’t want instead of what we do want. So keep your thoughts focused on what you DO want in your vision.

Create a movie in your mind. You’re the director and the star and the screenwriter. You have full creative control over this project. What does the house look like? What is the setting? Lighting? Temperature? Location? Who is starring in the cast besides you – anyone? What foods are on the table? What colors are around you? What activities are on the calendar? What car is in the garage?

Keep going. Identify the details. Who are you with? What are you doing? How do you relax? What does your work look like?

Isn’t this fun?

And, since you are the director, you can always call, ‘Cut!’ and start over. You are always in charge of how this movie turns out, and the project doesn’t have to ever become static because there’s always another aspect to play with.

But as you see yourself both directing and starring in this film called, ‘My Life,’ step into your roles, don’t just view them from afar.

Your unconscious mind cannot distinguish between the images that are happening in the 3-dimensional world we refer to as ‘reality’ and the reality of your visions. Step into that vision and live it. Your unconscious mind will take this as instructions to ‘Make it so,’ quoting my favorite Starship Captain Jean Luc Picard.

But notice the power of your unconscious mind. It will take any command from what you think about and envision and it will assume you are saying, ‘Make it so.’ THIS is why it is so important that you create the vision of what you want and energize that! If you ask your unconscious mind to create what you don’t want, it will do so.

So it is important that you become aware of your thoughts, your words. Make sure you hold the vision in your consciousness so that you are always moving in that direction, not as if it is in the future but aligning yourself with that vision in the present. Keep yourself focused on the manifestation of your vision IN THE NOW.

It might seem like a miracle but it starts to manifest and you are suddenly realizing that you are in it!

Cool stuff, right?

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: LOVE Your Vision into Life!

Dear Ones,

Life is not only what you make it. Life is what you PLAN to make it.

People often repeat the quote, ‘Life is what you make it,’ implying that you can create your life. But then the language they use implies their victimhood at the hands of Fate. ‘What could I do?’ with shrugged shoulders and upraised hands – the message being sent that there was nothing they could do, they had no power.

Or people talk about all the things that could go wrong in the future, conjuring up visions of great disasters, or expecting behavior from others that stymies their plans. How many times have you heard someone excited about an outdoor activity and then say, ‘But it will probably rain’?

These are not the actions of someone who truly believes that ‘Life is what you make it.’ When you speak and envision what you do not want you energize that. When you speak and envision what you DO want, you energize THAT. Life really IS what you make it. And Life is what you PLAN to make it through your thoughts, words, visions.

Now check in on your language, your thoughts, the pictures that you create and carry around in your head. Are you planning the Life you really want? Or did you just complain to someone about something you don’t want in your life?

Start this today by creating the vision of what you want your Life to look like. Add how it feels, the people who surround you, the activities you engage in, the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the car you drive, what you do for fun, what you do for personal growth and spiritual renewal – Everything!

When you have a vision that carries with it a positive emotional charge and fires you up, then you have the measuring stick to use to gauge your language and your thoughts every day. Check that sentence that you just uttered – is it consistent with the vision you created? What did you just think about how things are today? If it does not bring support for your vision then cancel that thought!

All the energies of your Life must align in the direction of the vision you have created for yourself. If you struggle in some area of your Life, then examine the struggle for the lesson that will bring your vision into manifestation. Where is the lesson in this? Each lesson brings you, as its reward, a little closer to living your vision. When you are considering a couple of different options or choices, ask yourself which path is consistent with your vision and then choose that one.

This pattern becomes your strategy for Living Your Richest Life. You become conscious of every single step you are taking and you allow this conscious awareness to shape into existence your own vision for your Life.

Living a Conscious Life means consciously creating that Life. Go ahead and create the vision today. You can capture it in a vision board, a journal, or just in your head, but make sure you can feel it in your heart.

Then LOVE that vision into existence in your Life by feeding it energy from the thoughts and actions and words that make it manifest.

Love your vision into Life!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Dreams and Visions and Goals, Oh My!

Where do you stand in the realization of your dreams? Do you create visions and goals for yourself? Are you a New Year’s Resolution fan, but have you abandoned them by February?

There is not much in our culture that supports our desire to live our dreams. Kids are taught ‘It’s just a dream’ when they come to Mommy or Daddy after their night visions. But many indigenous cultures believe that Dreamtime is Reality and what we call reality is a collective illusion. If that is true, then we can dream a new reality into existence.

Do you take time to dream? Back when I was a programmer, in the ancient days of room sized computers, there was a designer who used to sit at his desk with nothing on it except his feet while he stared off into space. Everyone knew not to disturb Bob when he was sitting this way because he was thinking through the program he was working on, essentially dreaming it into existence. The boss would just walk by his office, not bothering to stop in but also not judging Bob as not working just because he wasn’t writing or typing. Eventually, Bob would whip out the program in record time and it was always almost perfect the first time it ran. He created it first in his mind and then he manifested it in the computer. It was a very elegant programming style!

I often find myself so ‘busy’ that I don’t take time to just dream. I have to program that time into my calendar so that I can be as creative as possible. If I am constantly focusing on fixing problems I am energizing problems. If I am always looking at the details I am missing the information available about the big picture. And, conversely, if I create the dreams but do not take any action to realize them then they are not energized and dissipate like vapor in the wind.

Have you ever done a vision board? You cut out pictures and words from magazines and glue them to posterboard, then post this in front of your desk so that you can energize what you have desired and created as a vision for your life. Many people have realized exactly what is on their vision board. My friend is doing a workshop wherein he will help people to create a digital vision board so that it can be their computer wallpaper or screensaver they can keep it in front of themselves while modifying it as circumstances warrant. There are many ways, such as, video, to create a vision for your life.

Why not try one this week for yourself? Take some time alone [you don’t want anyone else’s energy or dreams or visions to influence you] and let yourself dream your future. What would you love to see in your life in the next year? Picture yourself a year from now [or 6 months or 3 years, whatever feels right for you] looking back and describing what has come into your life. Speak to yourself in the present tense of already having this in your life. Feel the energy of having your dreams come true. Welcome with gratitude those dreams.

You don’t have to create the vision board but it’s a powerful tool. The important thing to do is to create the vision! Even if you are not a visual person, create the feeling of having that dream in your life and allow yourself to be emotionally and mentally in that place of acceptance of your dream come true.

Let’s all support each other in realizing our dreams. Next time you meet someone, instead of asking them, ‘What do you do?’ ask instead, ‘What do you dream for yourself?’ You might be surprised by the answers you receive!

MUSE-INGS: Share the Vision

What is your typical response when you feel fearful? Do you hide? Do you lash out? Do you run? Do you analyze? There are many ways to respond to fear but most of us stay in the fear and then choose an action.

What if you feel the fear but dialogue with it? Use the fear as a signal instead of trying to ignore it or trying to run from it or attacking it. Our emotions are powerful pockets of energy in us. Because we’re human we have the capacity for great depths of emotion and, we hope, the wisdom to express those emotions appropriately.

Now what if we channeled all the energy of our emotions into the creating of our reality?

The truth is that we are doing this all the time, whether consciously or unconsciously. What we attach our thoughts to following the feeling of our emotions is energized by the energy of those emotions. It’s like hooking up a huge battery to something and letting the energy of the battery activate whatever is hooked up to it. Wouldn’t you like to energize something you actually want to attract into your life rather than attaching that fully charged battery of energy to something that you don’t want?

Fear causes us to focus on what we are afraid of, what we are afraid will happened but don’t really want to have in our life. And the energy of fear can be a powerful battery to charge up the vision of what we don’t want to have. [Did you know that you cannot have fear of something without creating a mind picture of just what you don’t want? Your unconscious mind can’t make sense of a thought about what you fear unless it creates this mind picture of what you are fearing. That alone energizes what you don’t want in your life!]

Now imagine hooking up a positive vision for your personal future to a huge battery fueled by the emotion of joy. Can’t feel the joy yet? Then ramp it up by thinking of something that, in the past, made you feel great joy. Amp it up within yourself. Add all the senses to this exercise. What did you smell? What could you taste? Hear? See? How did it feel? Keep cycling through the senses as you increase the joy. You are charging a battery with some good ‘juice’!

Then switch what you are picturing to a picture of that positive vision that you created. Pour all that Joy Energy into the picture of that vision. Use all your senses to feel, see, hear, taste, smell that vision. How will it be when that has already come into being? Stay with it. Imbue that vision with joy. This really energizes and magnetizes that vision for you.

When you take that vision to others and share it, they, too, can share in the joy and can add their battery to yours to give even more energy to that possibility. This is how a positive vision for the future can imbue humanity with hope. Lots of people getting together to energize a shared vision of a positive future can make things happen.

Start using this technique in your daily life and see if your outlook doesn’t improve. Create your positive vision and share it. Help others energize their positive visions. Spread the joy!

And help humanity have hope because one person shared a positive vision of the future.
