Focus on what you want

Focus all your thoughts and energy on what you do want to have, see, be, do in your life.  Don't give any more energy to what you don't want.
What you focus on expands.
The power is in the now, the present moment.  Our creative thoughts of today are creating our tomorrows.
What do you want to see in your life?  What do you want to have in your life?  What do you want to do and be in your life?
The more energy and passion you put into focusing on this and acting on any divinely inspired ideas, the closer this new life will come for you.

Lets send our governments blessings of love, peace and compassion!

Universal energies reflect back to us what we focus most of our energy on. Lets focus on having a government that acts with compassion and peace. A government that pledges to put the needs of our most vulnerable community members first; a government that values the importance of looking after our environment and the creatures that share this planet with us. Lets send our blessings of peace to them, that they can act with wisdom and love.
Lets collectively visualise a world where everyone is safe, fed, cared for, has enough food/shelter/clothing. Lets visualise a world where our leaders are wise and compassionate. Lets visualise a world where we all care for our planet.
What you focus on expands.
Let us use our energy wisely and visualise the best for everyone. Don't waste your energy on fear, anxiety and anger. Use your passion to focus on what you do want; put your energy into projects that work towards your vision. Lets change this world positively together.

If you were guaranteed to succeed what would you be doing?

Someone asked me recently, if you were guaranteed to succeed with anything you wanted to do, what would you be doing?

Well the answer to that only took me a few minutes to come up with, it was very close to the surface.  Is it what I'm now doing?  Not entirely.  Are you doing what you would love to be doing?  Are you following your heart?  Living your dream life?  If not, why not?

Why aren't you doing it then, if its something you would really like to be doing? I observe that what comes up for me is a combination of:  Fear of failure. Fear of ridicule.  Knowing that there's lots of other people around already doing it.  They'be been doing it for longer. They're possibly more qualified, more experienced.  Why would people want to come to me?  I haven't even written a book yet!

I generally feel that I'm a fairly confident person in most areas of my life but I was surprised at my lack of confidence and vulnerability at the thought of putting myself out there in the public arena, offering new services to the public.  I've even read the book, "Feel the fear and do it anyway"

I'm sure that this is a very human condition, and that I'm not alone.  I think that fear of failure and ridicule is very commonplace.  I then remind myself that a lot of the well known inspirational people out there, 2 of whom immediately spring to mind - JKRowling and Henry Ford, (I dont know why I picked those 2!).  JK Rowling had numerous rejections before her book was published and Henry Ford had many setbacks - the rest is history as they say.
It feels easier to carry on doing what I'm currently doing (and that is fine as I do still really enjoy my work and plan to continue in any case).  

I feel like there is a passion inside me that wants to reach out.  Do you have those feelings? I read a lot of spiritual books, and recently read about how our purpose here is for our soul to expand.  Our consciousness to expand.  Change and expansion is a part of who we are, our life purpose.

How do we create change in our lives?

Change is all that is happening, every moment of every day.
I love this ancient chinese proverb "The only certain thing in life is change"
According to quantum physics, matter (human beings, computers, rocks, trees, water) is formed of atoms, which consists of subatomic particles constantly moving.  It has been recognised that we affect these particles with our attention and our intention.  We are surrounded by an energy field that responds to our thoughts/intention/attention/beliefs/  So we are literally creating our lives with our thoughts.  Atoms that are resonating at the same frequency attract each other.  Our thoughts have a magnetic field effect.
To start the process of creating change, you need to initially get really clear about what you want, where you want to be heading, what your vision is.  If you don't give the universal energy field a clear picture about what you wish to draw into your life, it will respond to your most dominant thoughts.
Thoughts are creative.  Every item or object was once just a thought or idea in someone's mind.
I personally have moments where I am completely going with the flow of what is happening in my life and other times where I have huge amounts of resistance and frustration.  
Then there is the issue with belief!  Surely I can't ask for something that seems so far from where I am right now?
When you are asking for something you want to create in your life, your negative beliefs about not receiving can be so strong )for whatever reason) that a huge amount of negativity can come up, which needs to be processed/released to effect change and movement in thoughts.
Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now) talks about how the ego doesn't want change and we create resistance.  He says, when faced with a situation you don't want, you either take steps to change it, or you accept it, everything else is futile, a waste of energy and taking away your power from the present moment; the power that comes with knowing that thoughts are creative.
Your thoughts of today are creating your tomorrows.

Step 10

Daily Rituals

Congratulations, you have made it to step 10.  Now let's try and bring it all together.

To make change in our lives, we need to change something every day.  The more changes we make, the more change there will be.

"If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten" Anthony Robbins

I have found that at the beginning it can all be very overwhelming.  There is a lot of new information to take on.  To integrate, break it down into bite-sized chunks.  Most days, I perform my daily rituals to keep me on track.

Morning (before breakfast)
I would recommend you do a meditation  After the mediation, you could then think about your day ahead, and visualise all the different situations you are going into.  If any of them bring up troubled thoughts, try and visualise them going exactly how you would like them to go.  Send love and blessings ahead of you to everyone you may encounter.  

Spend some time giving some thought to your longer term goals/dreams.  Visualise them positively.

Then choose an affirmation for the day, it may be one that comes readily to you, or it may be to counter-balance some negative feelings you may have that day.  As you say it, visualise your life as though this were true.  Feel love towards this life.

Through the day, aim to notice your gratitude, be loving and kind, give to others.  Receive compliments.  Give compliments, smile.

If you observe negativity coming up, observe, acknowledge, try and release.  Affirm the positive.

In the evening, in your journal, debrief from your day.  Think about the difficult situations, about how you could maybe see it from a different viewpoint, is there any other way you could have reacted to promote a more positive outcome.  Have you honoured yourself?  Your needs and wishes?  Have your voiced your concerns?  Asserted yourself?  Been loving towards yourself?   Sometimes when I notice myself feeling cross with myself for something I have said or done, I imagine if I was a child and I was also a kind loving parent, what would I be saying to myself?  I would probably be telling myself to not be so hard on myself, to forgive myself, to comfort myself, to support myself.

As I am falling asleep, I ask my guides/angels to offer me protection and any healing I may need during the night for my highest good.  I also ask for any divine inspiration or guidance I may need to hear.  I personally notice a lot of answers to my questions and problems come to me during my dreamtime.  

Thank you for reading my blog, for reading these 10 steps.  I hope that some or all of what I have written might be helpful to you.  Please follow up with the recommend reading from step one.  Please feel free to comment/share with your facebook/your friends and anyone you feel may benefit.

May all your dreams come true.  Namaste  Elaine

Step 9

Follow your Bliss.  Find your Life Purpose

What motivates you?  What are you passionate about?  What would you love to spend your time doing?  What makes you feel alive?

"The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose"  Richard Leiden

Observe your emotions.  They are an important component in applying the law of attraction. Learn to listen to them.  Attune to your intuition.  Your emotions will indicate how well you are on track with manifesting your heart's desires/following your life's purpose.  They are communicating back to you about what you are thinking about, believing; what music you are listening to; what tv you are watching - if its good for you.   If you are feeling negative, you will be thinking negative thoughts.  When you are feeling joyful, you are on purpose.  

Your higher self communicates with you through your emotions.  It is generally considered that when you are thinking about something, if you are feeling good about it, it is an indicator that this is good for you (and related to your life's purpose).  If you aren't feeling so good about it, then maybe you need to reconsider.  Follow your "gut" reaction/your hunches.
I notice it when I feel "stressed" - it indicates to me that either something I'm doing or the way I'm doing it; or something I'm thinking about, isn't working for me.  
Its important to listen to this and to follow it as much as possible.  It is like your inner guidance system.

Mood Shifters
Write yourself a mood-shifter list.  These are things that are personal to you, that tend to make you feel better.
If you are feeling negative, it can be helpful to back track to when this feeling started. Sometimes I can wake up feeling positive and motivated, then one little thing that happens in my morning, a small passing conversation with someone, a difficult thought I choose to bring to mind can leave me feeling low/negative/sad.  Unless I stop and back track, this feeling can sometimes stay all day, and it can generate more negativity to come my way because of my negative energy field that I am taking with me to all my activities that day.  Sometimes, just becoming aware of what has upset you is enough, other times you may need to process it more - write in your journal, ring a supportive friend.  Other times you may just feel low and not know why.  Then it can be good to look at and work on an activity on your mood shifter list.  
Examples:
Singing along to your favourite music.
Having a hot bath with essential oils.
Going for a walk in nature - by the sea, in the woods, in the mountains.
Talking to a good friend.
Having a massage.
going to bed for a sleep
Doing a meditation
Reading a book you love.
Watching a film you love.

Our deepest dreams can also be an indicator as to our life's purpose.  What are your dreams?

You might want to write these questions down in your journal and write your answers alongside:
What makes me feel alive?
What are my natural gifts/talents?
What do I love to do?
If money and time were no object, what would I be doing?
If I couldn't fail to succeed, what would I be doing?

You may want to ask yourself these questions before or after doing a meditation and listen for your answer.  You may wish to purchase some oracle cards - (Doreen Virtue, Diana Cooper, Colette Baron-Reid, Sonia Choquette all do good ones).

Step 8

Examine your thoughts and beliefs.  Are they reflecting what you want to manifest?

One of the crucial aspects of the law of attraction is believing that you will receive what you are asking for.  

Ask.  Believe.  Receive.

Think it.  Say it.  Do it.  Be it.

There is a divine timing to all things occurring.  If what we wish for and desire were manifest instantly in our lives, we would have no trouble with believing the law of attraction/creation. However, when things take longer than we want, we struggle with our faith.  We then start believing others (and our inner voice) when they tell us, it cant happen, why do we deserve that, its too expensive, etc
We then start affirming that it is impossible or too far fetched for this to enter our lives, this then starts negating all the work you have been doing in asking for it to come into your life.

 "Be happy with what you have, while working for what you want"  Helen Keller

We are so conditioned by our past experiences that it is can feel really difficult to change and appreciate that the power is in the present moment.

Start questioning.  If what you are trying to manifest is more financial abundance, start looking at your thoughts around money.  What do your parents think about money?  How were the finances when you were growing up?  Were you always scrimping and saving?  Were your parents struggling at the end of the month?  Was food tight?  Or were your parents wealthy? Did you have guilt around that?  Or maybe you didn't get on with your parents and want to reject wealth?
If you have money, are you embarassed by it and try to play it down?  Its ok to be wealthy and spiritual.  The more we have, the more people and charities we can help, the more energy we have freed up to do good, and to follow our life purpose.
Or are you jealous of those with money?  Do you gossip about people with money?
Does money represent love to you?  Or security? 

If you want to have a partner and grew up in a single parent family - did your parent put down the opposite sex or in a double parent family - was there always fighting?

Where do you live?  What are society's views around money?  Relationships?  

Did you have a religious upbringing - what was your church's views?  I recently heard the phrase "money is the root of all evil" - how can humans put so much negative energy on money?  Money is an energy.  It has no intrinsic value of good or bad.  It can be used for good or bad.  Money needs to flow.  To be in our power, we need to not be struggling and making do. We don't want to be spending a lot of our energy struggling to make money and worrying about paying our bills.  It distracts us from our life purpose and depletes our energy/motivation and passion.

Spend as much time as you can observing your thoughts around what you are trying to manifest.  Listen to the conversations you have with others around it.  Do you hear yourself saying regularly "I'm skint, I haven't got enough money" or "There are no good men/women around or All the good ones are taken.

Work with affirmations (see Step 5)
For example
I choose to believe that money comes easily and frequently to me.  
I choose to believe that money comes from many and varied sources.
I am willing to be prosperous, no matter what others may think.

I am open to meeting new loving people.
I have space in my life to attract a loving and supportive partner.
