This newsletter has two audio links that will only be available until tomorrow, so please receive them with the same level of love in which they are being delivered. 

 

This past weekend, I was honored to deliver the Sunday message at The Unity Center for Creative Living in Jacksonville, Florida. I am including two replay links, one for the meditation (with hubbie Brent playing the ethereal music) and the second for the message.

 

The replay for my talk, The 7 Core Energies of Transformation, will only be available for 24 hours, so click on the two links below and listen while they are available! If you are sensitive to the various names we give to the embodied presence of the Divine (such as Christ, Buddha, or God), translate them into the language that enables you to hear the deeper message!

I ask that you imagine what it would be like to see through eyes tuned to beauty and your mind tuned to expansion and love. As challenging as the world might have us think, it is only our eyes that prevent us from seeing wholeness and unity as a reality, as opposed to something that mocks us with an occasional glimpse. Imagine knowing (and TRUSTING) that all of your experiences have been in service to a desire you were born with and a purpose you chose. Imagine, right now, feeling unified and whole and being able to sense a Presence in your life that always holds you in loving thought.

 

The 7 Energies bring us back into this spaciousness of thought. They are what I see as the bridges on The Power of Our Way Medicine Wheel and they move us through the progressive and sequential nature of coming into alignment with the center  - the essence of who we were intended to be. Absent of the dramas and conflicts that distract us from seeing how Spirit is in motion in our lives, they are the bridges into a way of seeing and experiencing our lives and the world from a higher perspective.

 

And, as humans, we forget. We forget how creative and powerful we are. We forget where we came from and long to return to a consciousness of faith and wholeness. We forget that healing can occur in an instant and that the stories we keep telling ourselves are what have created the current conditions of our lives. And, then, something reconnects us to the Source from which we came and for a moment, we feel the sweetness that comes from a story surrendered and a truth revealed.

 

A few short weeks ago, as I opened to an inner dialogue that began with the question, "How am I to serve today?" The result was the offering of an eight week teleclass that is beginning this evening called Straight to the Source (we still have some spots open at www.straighttosource.com). It was the next step in calling forth a small group of people into a process that will shift the trajectory of our lives and bring us into communion with wisdom principles that will guide us into the New Year.

My response to the more common Law of Attraction teachings such as;

• "Like attracts like."
• "You create everything"
• "What you are thinking and feeling is an indication of what you are in the process of creating/attracting,"

I felt called to share a vision of a larger message, one that didn't

• Remove Higher Power and Soul Journey from the Equation, or
• Fail to teach the power of the subconscious mind (and imprinted patterns) in the creation of experience or manifested reality.

People had been asking me questions such as:

• How can I access that higher state of awareness at will?
• How can I improve my intuition and connection with my Higher Power?
• How can I become a powerful manifesting magnet - a conscious co-creator with my Divine Source?
• How can I journey into a Higher Level of Consciousness quickly and really go Straight to the Source, especially when I am in fear?
• How can I Unfetter My Desires from conscious and unconscious fears, doubts and expectations so I can be a clear and quick channel for manifestation, joy and love?

At the same time, they were battling the part of themselves (this has been conditioned into us) that craved a quick fix, a magic bullet or potion that didn't require an integrated practice and promised quick, easy and impenetrable results.

 

They had been reading stories that, although amazing, also made them feel like they were doing something wrong. The tried to visualize and be grateful. The worked with affirmations, glued pictures on vision boards, but, in comparison to what they saw happening in the lives of others, they began to feel more abandoned and cynical than ever. In the search for answers "out there," they lost sight of what was within and gave up (at least mentally).

 

This is why I first offered Straight to the Source almost a year ago as a live retreat and am now offering it, for the first time, as a teleclass (chock full of some incredible new stuff). It is why I, along with my husband, Brent Law, offered the Awakening the Healer Within calls a few weeks ago (did you miss them?).

But, as I prepared for the talk I did last Sunday (link above), I found myself longing for a more effective way to communicate with you. Email and audios have certainly been incredible ways to reach out, but if honest, it is not feeling like enough for what I am feeling called to do and be in the world. The form for my work is changing. Into what, I do not know. Words in an email feel flat and absent of the intensity and authenticity in which they come to me.  I can't look you in the eyes as I speak to you. I can talk myself into feeling satisfied with "what is" but I would be dismissing a desire that I believe is growing for a reason - a signal of something coming or of Spirit urging me into a higher expression.

 

Law of Attraction blackbelts might very well be gasping at what might come across as an absence of gratitude. Not so. I am humble, incredibly grateful, and fully aware of how fortunate I am to be able to share my gifts and passions.

 

And. . . there is so much more that I wish to share. It comes in spontaneous moments and is not always easily translated into words that are easy to type into an email. It is a message of potential and promise of monumental proportions and impact that seeks a community of belonging (like the one that is gathering tonight!). It can not be boiled down to one 30 minute talk, a blog entry, or even in the books I am hoping to complete writing before the New Year. It is personal and important enough for me to reach out to you today in spite of having tons of things on my "to do list."

Tonight we begin a profound journey into what I am calling a State of Integrated Wholeness in Straight to the Source; Re-Awakening to Your Divine Inheritance and Releasing the Myths of Attraction, Ego, and Manifestation.

 

If you see yourself benefiting from 8 weeks of powerful small group interaction (all calls are recorded for the group members) and a conscious immersion into principles and practices that will bring you into greater communion with your soul, Spirit, and the gifts that are inherently part of you, visit www.straighttosource.com

 

If you have been in any of my formal programs before, or are a current member of Hypnotic Manifestation, you received a link last Friday that you can still use today.

 

The small group that is gathering thus far are coming together from the United States, South America, Canada and the Middle East. They are already transcending cultural myths that once prevented us from even breaking bread together just a few generations ago here in the United States (and still do in some parts of the world).

 

We'll be joining in the spirit of the Mastermind; the power of the collective mind that comes together to see and hold in faith, a new potential. We'll be engaging in daily practice and meeting weekly to be witnesses for one another as I share so much of what I am craving to share!

 

And, we begin in just a few hours at www.straighttosource.comand you'll need time to print the 92 page manual before we begin!

Namaste, Anita

Are You Asking the Bigger Questions?

Are you—like so many others—asking the big questions that have emerged in response to The Secret and The Law of Attraction?

Questions like:

• How can I feel a more direct experience of God/Source/Creator in my life?
• Where do God and other Universal Laws (such as Divine Order and Timing) fit into the principles and practices of conscious co-creation?
• How can I access a higher state of consciousness and move beyond a lack and fear?
• How can I become a powerful manifesting magnet – a conscious co-creator with my Divine Source?
• How can I Unfetter My Desires from conscious and unconscious fears, doubts and expectations so I can be a clear and quick channel for manifestation, joy and love?

The truth is that in the brilliance of their simplicity, traditional Law of Attraction teachings do not always get to other laws and principles that connect us to higher information—information that can bridge gaps in our understanding and unlock the door to manifestation.

What is NOT Being Shared…

Before these ancient principles can work for you in our urgency addicted, magic bullet seeking culture, you need to literally step back and move up into a higher state of consciousness. Only then can you begin to really embrace and apply the wisdom or the more common teachings such as;

“Like attracts like.”

“You create everything”

“What you are thinking and feeling is an indication of what you are in the process of creating/attracting.”

This knowledge, when aligned with your soul purpose and your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and behaviors, and applied within the context of Aligning with the Mastermind, will open you to a Power that is asking (or begging) to be birthed from your unconscious…and welcomed into your physical reality.

Think about it, simply using the word “Attraction” implies that what you want is “out there” and fosters the illusion of separation and lack – immediate and insidious Enemies of the Conscious Mind™

The truth is that you are always creating, consciously or unconsciously…and when you go Straight to the Source, partnering with your highest and most authentic self, you will see your life changing right before your very eyes.

The human experience is very different from the experience and the INTENTION of the Soul…As humans we quickly forget the essence of who we are, why we are here and what we came to do, give and receive…

The Divine Forgetting may be hindering you in the conscious creation of your physical reality by creating energetic, spiritual and mental blocks to courageously exploring:

• How you have become who you are
• How you have come to believe what you believe
• Why you are who you are
• What you are destined to receive when you align in purpose, passions, belief, desire, expectation, and behavior

For the most part, Spiritual Amnesia and Divine Forgetting prevent you from accessing and even understanding the deeper principles and laws that are working in your life, such as:

• What you have come to believe about yourself, the world and how things work is largely false.
• Unconscious beliefs and expectations create major obstacles to manifesting that which is asking to be received into your life…
• You came here for a reason and most likely have forgotten it!
• The very experiences you have labeled as ‘bad,” tragic, undesired, or unwanted are gifts that reveal important keys to your purpose, your power, and the peace, harmony, love and joy that is yours to claim.
• You made requests for experiences and soul growth that you later resisted, thus turning away much of your Divine Inheritance.
• You can’t (and shouldn’t) have everything you want from the human perspective (Thank God!)…You get everything you need and wanted from the soul perspective – if you Awaken to the Divine Perspective Within.
• Unfettering Your Desires and Aligning with the Mastermind will open you to your inherent and inborn ability to Consciously Create true fulfillment, joy and deep inner peace
• Shifting the Trajectory and Velocity of Your Energy opens you to Divine Flow
• Partnering with Source is the highest form of Receiving the Bounty of Goodness and Prosperity that awaits your welcome

So, are you already vibrating at a higher level?

Are you feeling an inner knowing, a building interest, curiosity and excitement?

If so, you are experiencing RESONANCE, a Divine Inner Knowing of TRUTH.

And, if you resonate with what you have read and heard so far, please know this. . . I have just touched on the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

• Are you at a place in your life where you are ready to take responsibility and harness your co-creative power?
• Are you ready to release some of what may be fettering you and open to an elevated understanding of the role the past has played in your evolution?
• Are you open to looking beyond common Law of Attraction teachings and harness the wisdom of ancient teachings, energetic alignment techniques, and belief re-patterning into how you develop and maintain your manifestation mind set?
• Do you agree that alignment with purpose, forgiveness and gratitude are the keys to many of your desires manifesting in your physical reality?
• Do you appreciate both conceptual and philosophical sharings along and practical, powerful models and practices that will help you create sustained change in your life?

You can review the main elements of the Straight to Source tele-retreat (at www.straighttosource.com) and, if you resonate, you will know that the invitation to join us for the eight week tele-class is going to be the first step in your Divine Remembering...

The commitment you make today to begin Straight to the Source: Re-Awakening to Your Divine Inheritance and Releasing the Myths of Attraction, Ego, and Manifestation will catapult you into the next phase of your own personal evolution.

This process will unleash you into a level of awareness and manifestation that will completely change how you have been looking at your life, your past and most importantly, your future!

Why wait another day to begin manifesting a better life?

It is time to remember and re-kindle your relationship with Source and unfetter yourself from the limitations of the past and the present. Step into your future with renewed zeal, passion, and purpose!

It is time to discover and unleash a power that is aligned with a much higher intention for you and your life – the original intentions of your Soul and the higher reasons for incarnating on the planet at this time...

It is time to remember the Divine Knowledge that was gifted to you before you were even born!

It Is Time to Claim Your Divine Inheritance…to Awaken to Your Divinity and Accept and Receive Incredible Peace and Joy…

Living In a Miracle of Faith

I awoke this morning to a sense of deep longing and a sadness that perplexed me. Was I coming off the “high” of an incredible five-day healing retreat with one of my most courageous clients? Did I travel into a dream that left me feeling a little off?

As I greeted the sun and sat under the trees, I closed my eyes and breathed into a heart that felt less heavy than I first thought. “This is not sadness,” I thought to myself. Rather, it is a desire to share a message on a scale that I have yet to reach.

Over the last few weeks, I have reflected upon the last 3 years of my service, feeling an immense gratitude for the profound nature of the “work” I do and the gifts I have received along the way. Yet, something bigger is emerging in both my writing and recordings and in my healing work with clients. Magical and mystical in nature, I am surrendering to a will and force beyond my own, unsure of the path that is beckoning me to move into unknown territories.

And, as someone who is inherently impatient, I crave to see that which I simply must surrender too – an unfolding that is inevitably much grander than what my human mind would be willing to construct.

Like you, I want to know the details up front. I bounce back and forth between total trust and gut-wrenching fear. I question, at times, my intuition, my purpose, and I wish for a level of sustained grace that at times feels completely beyond my reach.

And, in the stillness, I hear the voice of a higher intelligence. I feel a surge of energy and inspiration that does not feel as if it is completely my own. My pen moves across the breathtaking landscape of a clean page in my journal. The sound of the pen gliding across the white paper is evidence of a miracle discovered in a silent conversation that is first absent of words and I feel myself morphing into higher form.

“Surely this does not come from my own mind?” I question, as I read the words that provide the very guidance I was seeking.

“Doubt is preventing you from truly partnering in the perfection of The Divine; a consciousness that depends on your faith and trust to facilitate the highest good in your life. For the higher, Spirit-infused will of your most authentic being to take dominion over your humanly conditioned mind, you must live in the faith you desire to live in. Your individual consciousness is yet a microcosm of the larger collective. You are connected on a cellular and genetic level to all that exists in the realm of creation. This lineage had its genesis in the first moment I, the Creative Source, thought of the idea of introducing spirit into form. You are both creator and created and I seek to presence myself through all of which I create. You shortchange my intellect when you question the reality of your experiences and deny my expression through you. If you would stop resisting me and let go, I’ll carry you far beyond the edges of your imagination.”

A hawk flies overhead as the wind speaks to me through the voices of the tall ones, the trees that offer me the joy of their dance. They seem to be giggling in the delight of my surrender; clapping in joy that I have been present to the message.

I breathe in the moment and open my palms to the sky. I’m traveling into a spaciousness that is not dictated by physical laws or human ideas of limitation and lack. A glimpse of holiness that no words could describe, yet I know I can share in my walk and work in the world.

The words I shared in Divinity Movie come back to me, a reminder of a previous conversation that warrants revisiting before I officially start my day. I open my eyes and hawk circles above me, as if to say, “Yep, still here! Aho Mitakuye Oaysin, Pila Miya, sweet one.”

“Aho cousin, I respond, Pila Miya, thank you for being with me.”

And with my reply, hawk leaves my view, yet I know he flies back into the realm of my inner awareness of a constant presence even when unseen. I hear Brent practicing Christmas Carols in a variety of silly voices and I begin to laugh with the trees, honored to live in both worlds, each of which is miraculous in their own way.

Craving a Direct Experience of the Divine?

The first time I truly felt what I later learned was Universal Energy, or "Chi" flowing into my head during meditation, it was so intense I couldn't help but reach up with my hand and rub my head. The flow promptly stopped until I recentered myself. Now able to initiate this still profound experience within seconds (usually, unless I am really distracted) I have also learned how to direct the flow; shifting my breath into various patterns and motions and even moving pain out of my body. This is a field of energy I tap into consciously in healing sessions with clients. What is most profound to me (as of right now) is that folks will experience the energy shifts whether in person or over the phone and when I enter into this state while recording, it seems to travel in an audio as well!

A few years ago, the energy began appearing in pictures, and with each click, you could see an orb, or other shapes of light and color coming from worlds beyond. One of the most profound experiences of this occured in a butterfly sanctuary in Mexico, where a client snapped a series of pictures of me standing in the middle of the forest and opening my heart chakra with my breath and intention. If you look closely, there are many of these orb like objects appearing in each sequential picture...

 Here I am getting centered...

 

Now, watch as they move into my field...I felt them...right shoulder and root chakra

 

Now, check this out...

 

And now...see if you can find them all, not just the ones that show up so well on my shirt!

 

 

 

This weekend, as I participated in a weekend Shamanic Five Elements Qi Gong Training with Master Zhongxian Wu, I had several powerful experiences, in particular while doing a movement called Center, or Earth, where I could feel my hands moving through a tangible presence, multiple presences at that. As freaky as it might sound, it was abolutely ecstatic in nature, blissful, profound, and long-lasting.

On Sunday, we gathered in circle with Cindy, Master Wu, and a little Master named Krishna (who later asked my husband to set up a play date so they could talk about music and God). Look at the number of orbs in these pictures...all different sizes and literally surrounding us...

 

 

 

A Potential for Greater Love and Freedom

A Potential for Greater Love and Freedom

 

If the stories I am about to describe sound familiar, you are not alone. Believe it or not, for a few years my life, I too lived in constant stress in a marriage that I left in order to heal. I’ve kept my conversation about this to a minimum out of respect for the fact that I have forgiven myself and my ex-husband for what was a necessary experience; one through which that I grew immensely.

 

But, there seems to be an interesting theme popping up that I am really curious about. Longing for healing, peace, movement on business ideas, happiness and prosperity, I’ve had several conversations over the last year with people that have subordinated their power to choose for themselves in exchange for their spouses controlling even the most basic decisions. Many of them hide the entirety of their spiritual lives, afraid of sharing how they relate to God and sneaking off (one person even has to call from their laundry room) to attend a teleclass or go to church.  For some it is more subtle. They live under the same roof but lack intimacy or the level of friendship that would make their hearts sing.

 

Others are forced to literally “embezzle” from their allotted allowance for grocery money and have no money of their own. They are not permitted to make decisions about money because their spouse has full control of the bank accounts. They are questioned and ridiculed them any time they attempt to do something that is good for them. My heart just breaks at the thought of living in a marriage where one has to hide or live in a constant level of fear or vigilance. It breaks because I still remember my long drive home after working 9, sometimes 10 hours at the jail only to enter my own self-made prison when I walked in the front door of my own home.

 

A few months ago, I reflected on a profound question. Could I have healed and stayed in my first marriage or did leaving it actually pave the way to embrace the miraculous possibility of the blessed life I lead today?

 

My answer was instantaneous, and looking back, I see that my decision to pack up my two babies, enough clothes to get us through winter, and my picture albums (two car seats in a Honda Accord took up a lot of room!), and move in with my parents, was the genesis of my radical and instant healing from Lupus a few weeks later.

 

The next few years were difficult, and yet, looking back I wouldn’t have changed a thing. As much as I had unconsciously handed my life story over to be written by another, these chapters where just as important as the ones I have written since that fateful night on January 11, 1997 when I took back my freedom.

 

I write this not to add to the shame of living a secret life or being afraid to be who you truly are. Rather, I write this to share that change is both possible and often necessary. Yes, I lost all of my possessions. Yes, I moved to a new town with no friends except for my parents. And, yes, I sacrificed and struggled to get my life in order and ultimately start over. But, as a result, I found a deeper relationship with myself and God. I gained so much more than I lost. I healed after a decade of debilitating pain and one failed marriage. I bonded with a spiritual family and met my new in-laws a full year before meeting their son Brent, falling in love, and co-creating a love story that is still my favorite one to date. I took the time to examine the part my own decisions had contributed to accepting a life that no one should ever have to live. I forgave, I grew, and I found the love of a God that opened me to transcend the burdens that once defined every aspect of my life.

 

In 1998, a year to the date after leaving my first marriage, Brent, whom I had not yet met, found his own pathway to his healing. Unaware for several years that January 11 held such significance, we released www.thepowerofmywaymovie.com (a song we co-wrote) and my first book, The Power of Our Way; A Path to a Collective Consciousness, on January 11, 2006.

 

Now, almost three years later, our ways of serving have expanded and shifted and our marriage is my most treasured, fun, free, creative, inspiring relationships of anyone I have ever known. What is most important is that there is no hiding. Love is truly unconditional. He is the first person I talk to when in pain and the first person I share my good news with. I can show up messy and I can show up brilliant. We have spoken at weddings and funerals of friends and relatives, opened our home to the struggling, lost a lot and gained even more.

 

This is what is possible when a spiritual partnership is created between two people from a place of equality, mutual trust and a commitment to serve one another from a higher place. We are not just married to each other, rather, we see and feel the presence of a Divine Source that creates the very foundation for who we are and what we do. Neither of us is the boss, nor are we the source of all of each other’s good, happiness, or abundance. We live big in the world and yet, at the beginning and end of each day, we come together in reverence for the dream we are living. We honor what each of us brings into the co-creation of a beautiful reality that neither of us could have claimed a dozen years ago on our own.

 

And, this is our wish for you; to be happy and feel whole. To look in your partners eyes and know you are loved and supported and respected. To feel God moving through your marriages and partnerships through your words, your touch, and your committed faith and presence in one another’s lives. To be a witness for one another’s evolutions. To hold one another in the highest intention and to trust each other to treat you as you deserve to be treated. To not live in fear or hesitation of speaking up for what you want and need. To be mastermind partners and healers to each other. To be excited to be of loving service to one another and feel honored that you receive and give passionately from a place of wholeness.

 

This is why Brent and I mentor other couples and individuals who desire to co-create spiritual partnerships. As mentors and guides, we hold a space for expansion and healing and bring all of who we are into helping families embrace a potential of love and freedom that will inspire their children, families and friends to do the same.

Join us In This Movement and Intention

 

This letter outlines a powerful intention and vision that asks us to join as a collective and I encourage you to read it today.

 

This issue also has important reminders of three time sensitive events; tonight's Awakening Your Inner Shaman call (at 7:30 eastern call

218-486-1300, bridge pin 390863), a Conscious Dialogue scheduled for tomorrow, and a reminder to reserve your spot (limited enrollment) for Straight to Source and travel into the New Year from a place of wholeness, Divine integration and a deep connection to Source.

Last week we visited one of our favorite spiritual communities, The Gathering, in Cocoa, Florida and about 35 people came together around The Power of Our Way Medicine Wheel to pray, vision and heal.

 

Within minutes of wrapping up, two of my own prayers came true (an extra set of eyes to help edit my next book and a monthly speaking engagement in Cocoa) and the next day, I received the answer to my third prayer (this one is HUGE!), and now, I just need to get out of my own way to make way for the prayers to come into full physical manifestation.

 

My own inner "thought demons" quickly came up to the surface and I was reminded of the self-destructive fears and beliefs within my own consciousness. 

 

It was a great reminder to "Walk My Own Wheel," and today, the Universe conspired to give me the opportunity to practice what I preach and use my own shamanic practice on myself.  But, before going into that sweet space of sacred ceremony, I felt the pull to connect with you and extend the invitation to join me in holding a powerful intention for the over 14,000 people who make up the Power of Our Way Community around the globe and all of the people we impact with our own consciousness.

 

Some active, and some passive, this community is bonded together with some pretty amazing spiritual principles and commitments.

 

Together, we create a powerful force for transformation, each of us bringing a unique infusion of talents, gifts and experiences that can be leveraged to serve the collective.

 

Evidenced in too many examples to list here, we can all agree that we are alive at an incredible time in an evolving history of humanity- one of both transition and transcendence.

 

As we continue to transcend perceived limitation within our minds and spirits, we will witness great openings to miracles that our human conditioned mind can actually block from our perceptions, let alone our experiences.

 

What was commonly held as TRUTH thousands of years ago became tainted with social, political, and religious forms of control and abuse (all the while enticing people with promises of salvation and freedom).

 

I am confident that our future generations will see themselves as aspects of the Divine, regardless of the many labels humans used to place upon them (or attempted to) .

 

Interestingly enough,  in this paradixical world we seem to live in, the mere fact that we are "conscious" of ourselves, and have free will (choice) actually created options for us to be unconscious. Fear and exclusion have worked wonders to maintain power and control at levels within our social hierarchies to date, but moving forward I see us gaining momentum and speed within the consciousness movement.

 

Just as is reinforced in www.divinitymovie.com, we will find ourselves more able to see the Divine presencing itself in every single person on the planet.

 

Race, gender, sexual orientation and religion will become irrelevant when assigning worth to the diverse members of our human family. Instead, we will see an insurgence of compassion, empathy, love, gratitude, faith, and unity within the very fabric of our collective consciousness.

 

Holy, sacred, and fully integrated, our next generation will better understand their inherent power to create heaven on earth. They won't be fettered by the same insecurities, fears and perceived limitations to what they can create in the world, their bodies, and their relationships.

 

Mastery will be encouraged by leaders, teachers and preachers because they won't be afraid of losing power or influence. Equality amongst all peoples will be a reality not a dream. Peace will become The Power of Our Way as a global community and all emerging conflicts or disparity will be seen as an opportunity to come together in CommUNITY.

 

War will become a historical and educational reminder of what happens when we lose touch with knowing one another as brother, sister and cousin - as children of a Divine Source of inherent goodness who loves us unconditionally.

 

Healing our bodies will begin with with healing hearts, minds and spirits. Energy healing modalities will become the norm and we will learn how to harness new forms of energy to fuel our cars and homes in ways that heal the earth and our environment.

 

We won't see poverty and homelessness as options for anyone in our human family and no child will ever go to bed hungry or without a family who loves them as God does.

 

I see this shift happening as a spiritual inevitability. And, intuitively, we know it begins with healing our own internal beliefs and divisions and taking responsibility for our own shifts.

 

This is why I exist. It is why you exist. It is why we are coming together in such powerful ways and I am honored to be playing my own part in the creation of this new reality.

 

So, keep it up. Don't give up. Your life is to be lived as a ceremony - an expression of the Divine in physical form.

 

Be peace, see peace, know peace.

 

Namaste, Anita

There Are No Mistakes - Only Synchronicity - Power of Our Way In Living Example!

As I watched the last few days unfold into a momentous and globally provocative moment in history, I was tickled by the synchronicities and Divine assistance I received in the very pages of my first book, The Power of Our Way: A Path to a Collective Consciousness. Aware of my own fears and judgments (and my very human attachment to the outcome of the Presidential elections) I have also been honored to guide a group at the

Unity

Center

for Creative Living in

Jacksonville

through the 31 day journey.  In “doing the book” alongside them, I find I have been equally served by gong through the daily readings and morning thought invokers myself.

 

The daily readings correspond to the days of the month, and the last three days, corresponding to November 3, 4^th and today, the 5^th, have held such deep and profound meaning and guidance during this monumentally important election. Therefore, I include them here for you to connect into the energy that has synchronistically assisted me in staying focused on a greater truth; one unburdened by cultural codependencies, fear, or the stories that have created the common culture to this point.

 

In particular, today’s reading, found on Day 5, Co-creation, seems absolutely perfect for the unifying opportunities we are facing as a human race.  So, read on and join us in this incredible collective intention!

 

DAY 3 – The Day Before Election Day!

 

Equality

 

"I have a dream - that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.  I have a dream today!"

-Martin Luther King, Jr.

 

Oh Great Spirit, creator of all beings, today I see the grace and gifts within all whose paths I cross.  I bless the existence and contributions of all human beings as we all journey on the path.  I honor each individual as equal under the eyes of God, and I connect to my ability and desire to see all as God sees.  I choose to honor the image in which all individuals were created.  Everyone I meet is a reflection of God’s grace and creativity. I release all judgment against others and see people as mirrors for my own growth and Truth consciousness.  When I experience non-judgment I have an opportunity to love unconditionally.  I see all beings as children born of the same source, driven by the force to meet unmet needs; and I deeply know that all of our needs are the same.  I elevate myself to the highest level of my Truth and possess the wisdom and courage to see others and myself as equals.

 

Morning Thought Invokers

 

 

What does Equality mean to you?

 

How can you honor those who do not perceive you as their equal?

 

How can you embody a sense of equality when interacting with others?

 

How will you take a stand for equality today?

 

How easy will that be for you?

 

DAY 4 – Election Day!

 

Choice

 

"That man can destroy life is just as miraculous a feat as that he can create it, for life is the miracle, the inexplicable. In the act of destruction, man sets himself above life; he transcends himself as a creature. Thus, the ultimate choice for a man, inasmuch as he is driven to transcend himself, is to create or to destroy, to love or to hate."

-Erich Fromm, The Sane Society

 

Today I pray for new beginnings.  This day is dedicated to reinventing past thoughts, feelings and opinions that no longer serve my highest purpose and highest good.  Today I emerge from the fog of my misperceptions and release my old beliefs.  I am no longer scared to admit that life is a wonderful, amazing mystery, with so much unknown and so much to remain unknown.  Today I am in awe of the great mystery and allow the unknown to overpower my consciousness.  I invite curiosity into my awareness and look at the world through the eyes of a child, innocent and untainted by negative experiences, worries, irrational beliefs and thought patterns. Today I take notice of the details in all that surrounds me. The richness and possibility of it all is breathtaking.  I honor the opportunity to choose my existence today.  I honor the opportunity to co-create my thought, feelings, actions and words into experience and memory for myself and all who cross my path.  I define who I am with each thought and interaction and know that I am on the path that I am intended to follow. I walk this path with grace and integrity in all moments of choice.  I choose quality over quantity, success over failure, love over hatred and faith over fear.  I bless this day with the richness of my choices and experiences and walk hand and hand with Spirit.

 

Morning Thought Invokers

 

List three things you have always wanted to learn or experience.

 

What beliefs have created obstacles in the discovery of these desires?

 

What would you need to believe in to take just one step towards your dream?

 

How will you choose to step into your dream today?

 

DAY 5 – A New Beginning!

 

Co-Creation

"Millions of men have lived to fight, build palaces and boundaries, shape destinies and societies; but the compelling force of all times has been the force of originality and creation profoundly

affecting the roots of human spirit."

-Ansel Adams

 

Today I willingly take the hand of Spirit and walk towards my life with openness and spiritual accountability.  God is my partner and I honor His gifts of experience and symbolism with choices that lie in integrity and honor with my highest self.  I co-create each experience by adding my perceptions and beliefs and ask that my perceptions and beliefs be aligned with my highest self. I co-create the totality of my experiences and am conscious of my effect on those around me.  I ask to see divine Truth and free myself of insecurity, negativity and self-sabotage.  I will create opportunities by reaching for God when in need, holding the hand of the all knowing and all loving and walking into the beauty of my life.  I co-create my relationships through my own thoughts, feelings and actions and co-create my experiences through my perceptions, attitudes and beliefs.  I bear witness to my role in the co-creation of peace on the planet, beginning with the co-creation of peace within myself and in my relationships with others.  I co-create a sense of wholeness and willingness to walk the highest path, aligned with the principles of equality and choice in each and every moment of this day.

 

Morning Thought Invokers

 

 

What do you desire to co-create in your life?

 

How might you move towards this desire today?

 

What perceptions or beliefs do you currently hold that may hinder in the co-creation of this desire?

 

How can you co-create happiness and fulfillment in your life?

Everything I Learned I Learned in Jail

Well, maybe not everything, but I venture to say that I learned more about spiritual and life principles during the 14 years I worked in various jails than I ever could have by studying with a zen master or learning how to meditate with a self-professed mindful meditation instructor or guru. Of course my training has added depth to what I have come to understand, but no way would I be the person I am today had I not lead the life I have.

Recently, I have felt a bit challenged by a paradigm that gauges your level of expertise (let alone worthiness) by who you studied with or how many years (or dollars) you spent "earning" your level of enlightenment, or, better yet, who "certified" you through what "accredited" body of "authorities" in your chosen field.

Don't get me wrong, as both a teacher and a student, I'm all for focused study and honing your craft. I wouldn't have surgery performed by an on-line certificated doctor or an amazon jungle shaman (unless it was the absolute only option and my life depended on it). No one becomes proficient without training and practice, but when you're asked "who taught you to meditate?" or what medicine man in what jungle put you through years of humiliation so you can call yourself a shaman (and know in advance that the answer will immediately categorize me as qualified or unqualified) it causes me to wonder.

Number 1, I wonder when we decided there was one right way. I wonder how much we unconsciously qualify or disqualify folks based on what we have come to believe is the only way or the "right" way. I also wonder how much our own judgments prevent us from seeing the inherent gifts in the people that surround us. Even my husband, who is an incredible musician who can play (really well) over 7 instruments. But, because he doesn't read music (his amzingly talented ears does the "seeing" for him) there a lot of people who say he's not really a musician.

I know, I know, some of this really does matter. But recently, I moved to state where a "Hypnotist" is classified as a "fortune teller clairvoyant." And, when it comes right down to it, most of what has shaped me I honestly did learn during my 14 years working in jails.

So, what did I learn?

1. Most people have been conditioned to think and be who they think themselves to be and a lot of that conditioning is pretty screwed up.

2. Compassion is a choice and without it you can not serve. If you judge someone, or see them as damaged or less than, you can't really serve them from a place of potential and possibility.

3. If you think you know everything and are not curious about learning more, or open to the idea that you don't really have it all figured out, your gonna miss a lot of pretty amazing stuff!

4. Being conscious is not about being perfect. Rather, being conscious is about being aware of your inner dialogues, the beliefs that are driving your experiences, and being aware of your surroundings and the influence they have on your energy and thoughts - and behaviors.

5. Intuition can save your life - or at least will direct you in the direction of your highest good and may carry you in a different direction than others might agree is "the right way." In spite of living in a world that is reliant on us not trusting ourselves or knowing how to meet our needs, intuition is an inherent gift that has helped me understand how to approach someone that is especially tender (or volatile, as was the case in the jail), and it has helped me in the areas of timing, relationships, and even how to heal a body that all the medically trained sages told me was impossible to heal.

6. You can not heal that which you harbor hate, resentment, judgment, "othering", disrespect, elitism, guilt or shame towards. This includes our bodies, relationships, politics, or the world.

7. There really isn't a "one way" or absolute "right and only way" to some unatainable level of absolute spiritual perfection or so-called enlightenment. What works for one may not work for another. God speaks to us and through us in some incredibly unique and amazing ways. Just because I don't see spaceships or have had an E.T. experience doesnlt mean they don't exist. My belief in something might influence my experience but it doesn't necessarily make it TRUE with a capital "T."

8. Honoring resonance in self and others makes sacred space for building a sense of deep, mutual respect and self trust in the world. We would spend a whole lot less time recruiting or trying to change or fix ourselves or others and instead open our eyes to the amazing array of individual-ness and uniquenesses that make up our incredible world. Just because I don't resonate with piercing far off places on my body does not mean someone who does is any less of a good person than I am. Even my husband is better liked since he cut his hair and covered up his tatoos. Somehow we live in a world where long hair equates to "bum" and someone you don't want to be seen with, let alone "like." How "enlightened" is that?

9. The fact that someone eats meat ( I do), drinks wine (I don't), loves making love to their husband (I do), watches television (I do), isn't perfect (I'm not) or still has human qualities (I do), doesn't claim one religious affiliation (I don't - as of today), occasionally acts like an idiot (I do) or only eats organic (I don't) doesn't mean they are any less than or more than anyone else - or worthy of your attention.  Thank God we come in different flavors and colors - all bringing a unique texture to the very fabric of humanity. Otherwise I'd be bored by now!

10. True depth of spirit and character requires us to expand our thinking and go beyond our assumptions and beliefs. Being open is not "wishy washy." Rather, being open creates massive opportunity to grow and become more compassionate and loving in the world.

So, join the dialogue, tell me what you have learned about the world and even if you don't have a certificate that you're still paying for in expensive student loans, or have list of commonly accepted qualifications and credentials, I'll listen to you! Leave a comment!

Believe it and Be Free - Pass it Along - Share the Vision of a United Humanity!

It's time to UNIFY not justify

To walk away from the stories once told

To see yourself as complete and whole

To turn away from the invitation

And raise your own soul vibration

To take a stand for a greater unfolding

To wake up to a dream we all are holding

A world where we care - in motion and deed

Release the old story of "othering" and greed

That the color of our skin, and religious affiliations

Does not divide a United Nation

Rather, it makes us more compassionate and stronger

Living a Myth, we say"No longer!"

That You and I we are the same,

In God's Eyes, we share the same NAME

Children of ONE, all unique, yet connected

Only Man has worked hard to disconnect us

From using our minds, our hearts and intelligence

We must now align with what is most relevant

Start seeing through eyes of love and beauty

Have heart for what we have the potential to be

United BECAUSE, not in spite of our differences

We came here for each other - to love and bear witness

Of a potential we all have to wake up and see

That believing we're ONE will set us all free

Be Peace, See Peace, Speak Peace, Know Peace...

Namaste, Anita
