Good Medicine-A Song, New Movie and Reflection

Several years ago, as I watched the sun rise over the red rocks of Sedona, the words to a soon to be composed song we'd soon call Good Medicine, found their way onto the blank pages of my journal.

I wrote about half a dozen lyrics that week and the music that my husband, Brent Law, composed and recorded to go along with them lifted my words off the pages in a way that was magical. Our debut CD, Chosen Road, offers one of our most treasured co-creative expressions, one that we wish to share on a much larger level!

Lately, I've been writing and teaching quite a bit about coming into one's unique gifts - the medicine that is inherent and is to be used to heal, transcend and guide us back to a state of wholeness - within ourselves, in relationship with others, our Source, and the Earth.

Please receive Good Medicine this with same magic I experienced when the words came and the music was composed.  If inspired, share it with others and visit the beautiful man behind the music at www.brentlawmusic.com

Cultivating a Welcoming Place for Receiving

Are You Welcoming or Repelling the Arrival of Good?

This is a question I've been asking myself lately and honestly, I've been experiencing a conscious awareness of both, and taking responsibility for my shift when needed. On some level, no matter your focus or prayer, you desire to receive something.

Maybe it is direction and clarity, maybe its inspiration, maybe it is energy and healing, maybe it is courage or faith, maybe it is peace, maybe it is relief, and maybe it is prosperity and abundance. Whatever it is, the one thing in common is that you are praying to receive something.

One of the most understated aspects of receiving is the cultivation of energies and states of consciousness that are welcoming to, as opposed to repelling against, the focus of your desires.  The environment created by your thoughts, mental attitudes, emotions, and the characterizing aspects of your physical body and the details and structures within your physical life is either expansive; open to receive in an inviting way, or constrictive; closed to receiving and unwelcoming.

Think about it as “becoming a vibrational match” to your prayer or desire and “becoming a vibrational mismatch” for that which you don’t desire. Simply put, be the energetic beacon that welcomes and guides the “good” towards you by shifting your focus on “receiving,” as opposed to “getting.” And, become more conscious of how you may inadvertently be welcoming in that which you don’t desire.

Are you a welcoming place for receiving that which you desire?

Think about it.  Let’s say you are opening your home for an out of town guest, or a visit from a relative or old friend. There are preparations you make to ensure your home is welcoming.  Whether you realize it, you engage in rituals that prepare your physical environment, and possibly, you may also prepare your mental environment, especially if the visitor kicks up any historical patterns that are not pleasurable.  Some of us also attend to the energy of our physical environments and engage in clearing rituals such as smudging, lighting candles, and placing sacred objects that call forth a higher energetic reality.

Now, metaphysically speaking, when you think about the focus of your desire or dream, are you a welcoming place in terms of:

· Your mental thoughts, beliefs and attitudes (a can’t vs. can do attitude, victim orientation vs. empowerment orientation, controlling vs. allowing, thoughts that are grounded in compassion vs. judgment, empathy, faith, love, positive expectation, and trust)?

· Your emotions (gratitude vs. lack, joy vs. sorrow, loving vs. hating) ,

· The physical details of your life (do you have room in your life, and the structures in place-are you taking care of your physical body and its need for nourishment, hydration, rest and movement?)

· Your energy-the essence that is emanating from you (is the culmination of all of the above creating a magnetic, attractive field within you and around you)?

· Your spirit – the essence of compassion, oneness, unity, love, gratitude, and faith in your connection to the Divine Intelligence that simply needs you to surrender, ask, and receive.

Let me share a very real example. In 1997, when I experienced my instant healing from Lupus, I had begun to cultivate a welcoming place for the energy of wellness and healing, first by opening the door to the possibility.  I had been working diligently on shifting my mental attitudes, which had almost been crushed under the weight of many years of negative forecasting and conditioning (I had bought in to modern medicine’s opinion that my “condition” was incurable), and the chronic pain, debilitation, and fatigue that had plagued my every day experience for many years.

My sense of self-worth had been chipped away from years of emotional bashing and a bad, but Divinely arranged first marriage that was imperative and, I believe pre-destined, in service to my evolution.  Previous to “making the decision to heal,” I hated my body, my marriage, my life, myself, my decisions, much of my past, and all of my pictures of the future. 

My energy and spirit were anything but welcoming to healing; until I began to cultivate a different environment in my mind, body, heart, energy and life.

Systematically, I went to work on the details of my life. I departed from my first marriage and moved into my parents home, a physical and emotional environment more conducive to healing. I began having a different conversation with my body, one that was much more loving and compassionate. Meditation, prayer, spiritual study, and developing relationships and community with like and heart minded people became a priority.

I watched my thoughts and words and diligently re-wrote my story into one in which the themes were empowering and loving. No longer a victim of circumstances, I began to see myself as a creator of love and positive energy, I dismantled much of what had become familiar – and automatically conditioned. I built my inner and energetic immunity against pain and misery.

I opened to door to spiritual guidance and became intimate with the subtle energies in my own body and surroundings. I often wonder if I became so repelling to negative energy that my kid’s father just disappeared off the face of the planet within six weeks of my departure.  It was only about four months later that my healing occurred. Maintaining a welcoming place, and continuing to sift and mine through the layers that still had the potential to “invite back in the undesired,” is something that I continue to attend to today.

It’s Your Turn

Bring your focused desire, prayer or soul aligned (this is important) dream into the forefront of your mind. In fact, take a few minutes, close your eyes, and imagine that desire being fully present in your life. What does it look like, how does it feel to be in the presence of that desire manifested? What will change, improve, and grow as a result of its presence?

1.    Now, when meditating on those things (above) that create either an unwelcoming or welcoming place within you or your life, what is asking to shift with your thoughts, emotions, physical environments (body included) and spiritual and  energetic emissions? More of what and less of what?

2.   How is judgment, negativity, criticism, lack, anger, unforgiveness, unworthiness, or doubt creating an unattractive place for that which you desire, and therefore “not welcoming” the arrival of the good that simply put, is just searching for a welcoming place in which it can exist at the highest of its potential?

3.   What might you create as a focus and commitment to cultivate within you and your life so as to become more welcoming?

What Poses a Potential Distraction?

As soon as we initiate a change in our lives, lots of things can pop up as distractions and diversions that remove your energy and focus away from what is important. Old dramas and belief patterns can resurface to be healed, not to get in the way. Busyness can be both a distraction (from being present), and an excuse that prevents us from cultivating a more welcoming place within ourselves. Stillness and the quietude created within it are often avoided and even deemed unproductive (by our ego) amidst the competing thoughts of what we should make priority.

Over the last week I’ve noticed how being busy became a “justifiable reason” for me not engaging in some activities that are paramount to my own self-care.  Although I spend a considerable amount of time in a meditative, prayerful state when working with my healing clients and leading groups in meditations and group healings, I can’t really “count it” towards my personal spiritual practice of daily meditation and prayer.

By Wednesday, I could feel a low level of irritation and stress building. When I simply checked in and asked, “What do I need?” the first thing I saw was the bathtub. After taking a salt bath, I asked again. I saw myself outside, facing the lush forest behind my home, meditating.  I followed the guidance. I reclined in my zero gravity chair, closed my eyes and after a few centering breaths, I saw myself sitting on the ground and praying in the sacred ways of my spiritual tradition.

Again, I followed the guidance and began the ritual of prayer that has been passed down through my elders. I prepared my outdoor altar, smudged the sacred artifacts and sang the songs that activate and call forth both the conscious presence of the Divine, and foster a deep embodied presence of the Divine within my body, mind and spirit. Through the rituals, I attune to the subtle spiritual energies of the prayer ceremony and all it elicits. In essence, the rituals within the process raise my vibration so that I may be in harmony with that which I am calling towards me – making me a welcoming place. I felt harmony being restored and sensed an immediate shift in my own vibration.

Creating a Sacred Space – a Hocoka – Within Your SELF

In Lakota, the word hocoka (pronounced ho-cho-ka) can translate to many things.  It can describe a sacred territory, a circle representing unity, continuity, or a sacred place for gathering in community. It can refer to a sacred altar or environment. It can also be used to describe the sacred space within your mind, heart, body, and energy – the internal altar and welcoming place for the sacred and holy to reside within you.

Becoming a more welcoming place for what you want in your life, may invite a reflection of what is unwelcoming and counter to the creation of the sacred, allowing space within your mind and heart. In Awakening the Healer Within, we bring great focus to the cultivation of a “Hocoka” through spiritual practice and practicing the various healing rituals I teach in the program.  Living our lives in ceremony and becoming a hollow bone (for energy, information, inspiration, intuition and healing) are consistently reinforced.

Releasing or transforming blocks is also a focus, in particular when it comes to non-conducive energies such as:

· Absence of Clarity (this is quite a block)

· Lack consciousness, not enoughness

· Unworthiness

· Impossibility or negative thinking

· Doubt, irrational, or conditioned fear

· Anger, resentment, guilt, shame, judgment, etc.

· Non-serving beliefs and perspectives about ourselves, others and how “things work” or don’t

· Disempowering language (in our inner dialogues and conversations)

· Illusionary identities tending towards a victim-based sense of self

· Energetic imprints in one’s body, subconscious, chakras, and auric field

Each of these examples fosters a field that is unwelcoming to positive, desired manifestation, healing and receiving the good in a way that is sustainable. Engaging in spiritual practice and cultivating a ceremonial way of living (whether praying or doing laundry) are keys to raising our vibration to the level that is open to receiving the highest good in our lives.

Make Receiving a Practice – and a Priority

Make receiving a practice. Whether to compliments, gifts, offers of help, energy, prosperity, intuition, healing, or inspiration, receiving plays a primary role in everything that comes into – and through – our lives. Be the portal through which the good can come and cultivate a welcoming place in the totality of your being and life.

It’s All About the Questions – You Gotta Ask ‘Em

Inasmuch as we are often focused on "getting" the answers, I have found that the most profound shifts occur when we ask ourselves the BIG QUESTIONS. Inquiry and curiosity will lead you back to truth with a capital “t.” Asking also opens a welcoming place for clarity to arrive - often in its own timing.

1.    First, reflecting upon the inner stirrings and insights relating to what you’ve just read, where do you see opportunities for yourself?

2.   How can you choose to become more welcoming to that which you desire to receive in your life?

Aligning With the Mastermind Audios

This morning, as I was searching for something else, I stumbled across the Aligning With the Mastermind Teleclass audios (from several years ago) and felt compelled to share them. There was such dynamic information and sharing on these calls that I had to post them for you!

Part One: Aligning With the Mastermind 

 

Part Two: Aligning With the Mastermind

Speaking of Alignment...

There is a heightened sense of a new emergence on the horizon – a new level of realization and alignment that is asking to be welcomed and embraced for yourself and those that you serve.

What is asking to be healed in your mind, body, spirit, and/or life, right now? In other words, what is causing the most pain (frustration, struggle, hopelessness, etc.) for you right now?

And, most importantly, what are you ready to transcend so you may experience true and lasting liberation and embrace the Original Intention of Your Soul?

I am here today as not just a teacher and healer, but as a receiver of an instant healing from Lupus and Fibromyalgia in 1997.  I progressively suffered from Lupus and a variety of auto-immune diseases starting with my first diagnosis at the age of seven. I know what facing a life in chronic pain is like. I also know the miracle of relief.

This knowledge extends into money, relationships, career, and all of the subconscious and conscious thoughts and beliefs that contribute to disharmony on all possible levels.

The Path to Peace is Always a Choice

Please click the play button for this song as you continue to travel through these words.  

One of the songs written and recorded by my husband, Brent Law, it is often performed as we walk The Power of Our Way Medicine Wheel.

 

You can download a pdf of the wheel at www.powerofmyway.com/return.html

The human journey today seems to be accelerating towards the emergence of a new and higher reality. Facilitating this journey of Returning, to what I have come to call our Original Intention, is core to everything I do and all of whom I am.

It helps us re-awaken to the knowledge of our Original Intention as individuals and the intention and encoded potential of humanity. Many of us believe that we are at the precipice of great transformation and I encourage you to read a bit more about the process at www.powerofmyway.com/return.html

Several years ago, as The Power of Our Way Medicine Wheel was first being shared in healing circles up and down the East Coast, I went through a period of deep reflection and even entertained the idea of not calling it a Medicine Wheel.

As I reflected upon my own deep search for clarity and direction, this song became a pivotal aspect of the acceptance that this was, in fact, a medicine wheel and one I was to share not just in small groups, but on a global scale. It was clear that I was to be the steward to the Wheel and over the years, we’ve built and walked the wheel dozens of times with hundreds of people. For those of you whom have not yet experienced it, I can only say you have not yet experienced the essence of “me” and what this community is about.

In my humanness, this has saddened me. Yet, from a spiritual perspective, I strive to detach, and embody the awareness, that at some point, those who are meant to experience the healing and freedom that comes from this form of work will find their way to it.

Beginning tomorrow, for the very first time, we are beginning a teleclass called Returning to Your Original Intention; Embracing Your Own Becoming at www.powerofmyway.com/return.html .

Step by step, we’ll move through the progression of the 46 layers in the Medicine Wheel. Beginning with all that keeps us circling the edges of our potential, and the original intention of your soul’s existence here on planet earth, we’ll be moving into the center – the place of true spiritual power and accessibility to Divine knowledge, healing and guidance- together.

There is so much potential for this process at both the individual and collective levels. A toll for healing, manifestation, guidance, and transcending the levels of consciousness to elevate all aspects of our lives is just a small piece of it.

As we move through the progression of the Five Dimensions of Evolutionary Transformation and the core energies – or bridges that enable us to reach each new, and higher dimension, the changes that are occur are nothing less than extraordinary, although they have become, in  my experience, common.

I invite you inside the sacred wheel with us. Transformation is inevitable. Healing will occur. Clarity will come. The resolution needed in support of you stepping into an expanded version of yourself will happen.

Join us tomorrow for the orientation…at www.powerofmyway.com/return.html

The One Viral Explosion You Will Want to Get!

  

 A few months ago, NY Times Bestselling author, Peggy McColl, joined us for a Conscious Dialogue. Peggy, in case you’re not already aware - has been an amazingly successful Internet Marketer, Success Coach, and Author for more than a decade. Perhaps you’ve read some of her best selling books, or taken one of her popular courses.

Or maybe not. At any rate...

We had such a great time; we immediately scheduled her for the show again.

She came on the show last week and we explored her SEVENTH book, Viral Explosions, and I've been excitedly awaiting its release, which, finally, is today!

Grab it at http://www.viralexplosions.com/book/

I know that you know that we are very selective about what and who we invite onto Conscious Dialogues, and for that reason, we've maintained an impeccable reputation.

 

Listen to this Conscious Dialogue about Viral Explosions and you'll understand why I am sharing this resource with you today!

 

Honestly, every week, I receive countless numbers of emails from people asking me to support the launch of their new book or product. 100% of the time, I review (and usually thoroughly read) the book before agreeing to schedule a Dialogue or provide a gift.

 

Peggy is one of those friends and colleagues who gets this. And, as soon as I reviewed her book, I immediately knew I would share it with the thousands of service providers and soul based business owners in the Power of Our Way and Dare Dreamer's Communities.

 

Here's the deal folks - the REAL DEAL...if you have any interest whatsoever in selling anything online (and if you sell ANYTHING AT ALL, you really ought to move it online - at least partially) . . . Then this book is an absolute must, a true God-send for anyone who is in business for themselves and everyone with a profound message to share.

I can honestly say that, if you follow Peggy’s advice in Viral Explosions (yes, that’s the name of the book - you’ll understand when you visit her website)...

http://www.viralexplosions.com/book/

There's practically only one result possible: you WILL meet with near unimaginable success - if you apply what she outlines.

Because whether your goal is to increase sales, build your brand and your business, or simply raise awareness of your favorite cause and spread a message of good will ...

...you can reach an extraordinary number of people in record time following the program Peggy shares with you.

 

Listen to the interview (above) and grab this book today!

 

http://www.viralexplosions.com/book/

 

During the dialogue, I shared the story of how we got started in 2006...with a Viral Explosion that was created by sharing one of dozens of songs co-written by me and hubbie, Brent Law at  www.thepowerofmywaymovie.com

 

In the first three weeks, we had 6,000 new subscribers. But, and Peggy is good at emphasizing it, we did not fully leverage the Viral impact and learned so much along the way (what you don't know can hurt you!).

 

So, if you are marketing anything, getting ready to launch your dream, or are seriously re-vamping your approach because it just isn't getting the results you had hoped for and planned for...get this book today! http://www.viralexplosions.com/book/

 

 

Where Are All the Men?

Recently, one of my clients, Charlie, a mortgage broker from Houston, has gotten a lot of chuckles about being our “token male” in the Thriving Soul Based Business and Awakening to Purpose groups. His presence is both welcomed and valued. His questions and contributions always move us into a higher potential, just because he is there!

In spite of a fairly equal number of “passive community members,” meaning a fairly balanced male to female ratio in subscribership, the truth is that most of the men in this community appear to be passively involved. Note the word appear. Just because men are not signing up for programs, coaching or healing work with me to the degree I wish, does not mean they are not “doing the work.”

It has both concerned and perplexed me, especially since I used to work primarily with men, absolutely love the depths we can travel, and see a more urgent need for more men to step up into “their heroes journey” in a way that demonstrates a gentler, yet no less powerful way for all who are touched by them.

Many of my favorite guests on Conscious Dialogues have been men, and a few years ago we interviewed the infamous Matthew Fox, author of The Hidden Spirituality of Men.  The title alone reminds us of a current phenomenon with a lot of men in this world.

“The deepest desires, dreams, questions, fears and pains of our men largely remain unexpressed and unaddressed, a secret rarely revealed even to the most intimate of friends.”

Last week, we joked with a few of our single friends that we needed to figure out how to get more single men to come to church.  I would venture to say that for every 20 women coming through the doors of churches there might be one man, if that.

I Can Handle it on my Own!

The men I have worked with (in my current work), interestingly enough, have shown a pattern of attempting to “go it on their own,” and in spite of great effort, stay stagnate or worse yet, give up and are challenged to implement and bring to completion some incredibly worthy and important projects.

Looking back, all of these projects and endeavors have promised significant service to others and all of them were quite compelling and exciting when we first began to work on them. Then, as often seems the pattern, something comes up that stirs up a pattern of insecurity or fear and they all but throw their hands up in the air and announce “Never mind, it was bad idea any way!”

Here’s the thing.  None of these endeavors I am thinking about was a bad idea. In fact, they were brilliant and very much needed.  They would have filled huge holes that have been a vortex of unaddressed topics, needs and desires of men and women alike.

A few weeks ago, I received a lovely email from a gentleman who pops up every now and again. Upfront, I perceived the only correct response on my part would be to present a solution that was quick, easy and involved no real work or investment on his part. I also perceived that his demand for a quick, instant solution to a lifelong pattern of pain was not about being lazy or even unrealistic.

It was about the dirt he didn’t want to have to dig up to get the gold.

I suggested doing some one-on- one work. I suggested that he sign up for an upcoming class that has proven, over and over again, to resolve past patterns of conflict and hurt. I also suggested coming on to a free teleclass that was hauntingly connected to his plight.

“I wonder if he’ll ever be able to share his amazing gifts with the world?” I pondered. “I wonder if he’ll ever truly dance his dance and sing his song.” I thought to myself.

It will sure be a shame if he doesn’t. I thought of the thousands, if not millions of people who would LOVE what he could be offering, if only he was able to get out of his own way.

I’m calling out to the men in this community.

 I’m calling out to you men who are ready to step up and step into your brilliance in way that empowers you to fully express and be who you were born to be.  I’m calling out to the men who wish for balance and soul, mind and heart, to be present in all of who they are and all of who they are invited to become.

The world needs you and your passion is truly what the world is hungry for. We want to hear your voices and the wisdom you are being positioned to share.

Call into a Conscious Dialogue and share your questions and comments, join a teleclass (we have two formal programs beginning at www.powerofmyway.com/awaken.html and www.powerofmyway.com/return.html ) and/or reach out to me personally to explore the opportunities you are facing.

Plus, my husband, Brent, who historically performs 99% of his service and offerings in person, as opposed to on the telephone, is an amazing mentor and spiritual teacher whose own contributions in this community are more vast than most realize.

We wish to serve you…and invite you to take the next step!

The Journey of a Thousand Prayers

Over the last several weeks, I have been praying quite a bit in preparation for some upcoming ceremonies. Each time, I experience popcorn epiphanies that often get recorded in my journal. Funny, the act of focused prayer always reveals the deeper, sometimes non-conscious need and desire in a way that is often quite spectacular (picture “I could’a had a V8!”).

The eureka moments, although surprisingly common, are always extraordinary in the revelations and clarity they deliver and, like a treasure hunt that follows the crumbs to ultimately find the gold cache, I find myself traveling into some interesting and powerful awarenesses each time.

Some are private, and held sacred, but yesterday, I knew I would share something I began to ponder. I will go into greater detail today at 3:00 pm EST during a preview call for The Power of Our Way Coach and Integrative Healer Program at www.powerofourway.com/coach

Are You Praying for Proof, or Are You Praying for Embodied Awareness?

At the center of The Power of Our Way Medicine Wheel, we begin to see how the final three “bridges” of Faith, Unity and Trust lead us towards a consciousness that is:

· truly embodied in its awareness,

· immovable and calm in its power,

· integrated in its wholeness, and

· grounded in a sense of oneness that is beyond most of our human perceptions.

Yesterday as each prayer (by the way I was on about prayer #900 of a 1000) revealed a deeper one, I realized (duh!) that I was focusing more on praying for proof as opposed to the more profoundly impactful embodied awareness .

Let me share an example.  Last week I welcomed in the clarity of one of the prayers I will take into ceremony this year. It took a long time (almost a year) to really get to the essence of it.

“To know my value and worth in a way that is fully embodied.”

I shared it (in a traditional ceremonial way) with my main supporter and spiritual community on Monday night. My supporter also declared that nothing would hold her back from making the trip and that she was willing to get there with no supplies, no tent, and trust that the rest would be taken care of. The trip (like a pilgramage) is long and expenses are fairly high. We all prayed for the resources to show up in a good way, and all who were going also made statements of their commitments.

The very next day, out of the seemingly clear blue, some friends of hers were inspired to buy her plane ticket so she could attend. Excited at the immediacy of the Universe’s response to both of our commitments, she called me to share the news. Much of the potential stress of finding the money to make the pilgramage was completely gone, and she saw that the Divine response was directly related to her vivacious declaration (with no back doors) the night before.  Clearly, she had moved from desire to decision and she quickly and effortlessly received her response.

Yesterday, I fully realized that her abundance was also my abundance. In truth it is also abundance that, in its unique ways, will ripple out to everyone in our community because of what she and I will bring back to it.  

I did not, however, immediately see it as evidence, or proof of the prayer I so clearly communicated the night before. As most of my friends and close clients know, I love evidence. I love the validation that can boldly arrive when we see physical, touchable, tangible proof of the mystical and miraculous. And, I love it when others are present to witness those miracles.

And then, yesterday, it hit me. So often I am praying for proof, as opposed to praying for embodied awareness. Think about it. Let’s say you are praying for a certain amount of money to show up. The money becomes the proof that the Universe is taking care of your needs, or that you are doing a good job, or that you are loved and cared for, worthy, deserving, or even possibly, that prayer and intention does, in fact, work.

Imagine the difference if the focus was not on the external, often uncontrollable physical evidence that is so often “outcome based,” but rather, the focus was on the internal - the root from which all else grows.

Imagine if my prayer for embodied awareness of my true value and worth came true. Imagine if absent of any doubt, hesitancy, or outside physical evidence, I just knew, to the core of my being, that I was of immense value and worth, regardless of what “proof” manifested in the four corners of my life, as opposed to the focus on just one – the physical.

What would be different? What would I be experiencing more consistently? And, what would I no longer experience because it is completely counter to this deep, immovable awareness of my own value and worth? What if I no longer needed physical evidence, but just knew? The implications run far, deep and extend out into just about everything I can currently wrap my head around.

I knew that what I was truly tapping into is about Returning to Our Original Intention, and Embracing Our Own Becoming.

And so the Story is Revealed

As you examine what sits around the circumference of The Power of Our Way Medicine Wheel, we can easily identify all that keeps us “circling the edges of our inherent potential and true spiritual power.”

Some related to the beliefs established during our upbringing, or adopted as a result of our conditioned experiences, much of what prevents us from standing firmly in the reality of our Original Intention (your core purpose for existence, the intentions for your soul’s experience, as well as the Higher intention for human evolution on a collective level), are simply the stories we tell ourselves.

Recently, several of my old (geez, wasn’t I done with that?) stories have come back up to the surface to be healed. Several go way, way back, and possibly began to imprint well beyond the childhood years of this current lifetime.  These stories, and I KNOW you can relate, present themselves as patterns and blocks to the true experience and expression of our Divinity. They tend to flavor everything we see and experience, and blind us to what is TRUE and real.

Here are just a few select power hiding, energy sucking stories that are just “oh so common,” that we almost need to take a step back and engage in one universal chuckle at the commonality of our collective struggle to return to wholeness and love!

· I’ll never be good enough

· I’m not loveable

· Good things only happen to other people

· I’ll never heal

· I’m all alone

· Money is hard to come by and only certain people are destined to a life of financial ease

Now, Think Proof vs. Awareness

What if you embodied the absolute, unequivocal knowledge and awareness that were loved and always have been loved, vs. being focused on manifesting all of the various ways you would potentially see the proof or evidence of that unconditional love coming into your life?

The latter requires something in the external, physical world to be present in order for us to be happy. What that essentially means is that we walk around thinking, albeit not always consciously, that “I won’t truly be happy, or at peace, until x, y, z happens.”

Imagine just simply knowing you were loved, as opposed to having to see that soul mate show up at your doorstep, or your dead mother descending down upon you and apologizing for all the ways she made you feel unworthy or not good enough during childhood, as the way you heal from the mythology of being unloved.

Imagine knowing, absent of any doubt, that you are valued, as opposed to a certain amount of income being the focus of your prayers. Awareness, embodied, carries us through the times of human uncertainty and centers us in immovable, unshakeable faith and trust.

The point here is to examine the focus of your desires, or your prayers and go deeper; beyond the surface of our desires (the physical) to the core of what you are really wanting.

You are Being Prepared for Something Quite Spectacular

There is a higher energy attempting to be received and channeled through you. It is more sophisticated in its intelligence and simply requires you to be a more open, clear pathway through which it can manifest.

Think about it. Just as water flows through territories that are least resistant, and typically, that are more receptive to the gravitational forces of the physical universe, anything that hinders its flow will either be avoided or destroyed.

I say typically, because I happen to live near The St. John’s, a river that flows North (not common), as opposed to South; up, as opposed to down. The most famous river that flows north is the Nile in Egypt. Seemingly, the laws of the physical universe just don’t seem to apply.

The laws that become the governing forces of your experience, and what you believe is possible, are often not based in TRUTH with a capital “t.” Rather, your beliefs (many illusionary in nature) become the laws that your life experiences must abide by. Any violation (or occurrence of the contrary) is interpreted as a freak, and often temporary (don’t hold your breath) blip in the scope of what you believe is possible or impossible.

Over the last few years, many of us have noted an acceleration of sorts. It’s as if we’ve stepped on the fast track to evolution and many are in serious transition as part of their personal preparation.

I recall the essence of a favorite quote from the bible. “God doesn’t call the qualified; rather, God qualifies the called.”

Tag! You’re it!  You are being qualified and prepared to receive the deeper prayers of your soul – not your personality.

The challenge and opportunity many of us are facing is to get truly grounded in two main things.

1.    Our Original Intention (as individuals and as a collective),

2.   Trust in our faith (yes, faith in our faiths, and in the unseen that lacks evidence, interestingly enough)

Imagine the difference between embodying your faith, as opposed to seeking evidence that your faith is valid?

Imagine feeling grounded in your core gifts and feeling confident in your mission to share them abundantly, regardless of what anyone else thinks, validates, encourages, discourages, says, supports, or approves of?

What FLOW would you then open to? What would you be doing and demonstrating, regardless of what was going on around you?

What would be more welcome to arrive and reside in your life?

What Blocks Your Allowing of this Flow?

Today, regardless of your interest or disinterest in becoming certified as a Power of Our Way Coach, I invite you to join us at 3:00 PM EST for some empowering instruction on how to use The Power of Our Way Medicine Wheel as a pathway to transcendence, healing and manifestation.

In particular, we’ll focus on cultivating The Core Energies of Transformation and reveal what unfolds as we cross each of the eight bridges depicted on the wheel.

Simply register for the telelclass at www.powerofourway.com/coach and you’ll get the new and improved Power of Our Way Medicine Wheel that was just completed by my amazing designer, Kelly Patrick, a prior client and an amazing artist whose website is http://www.kellypatrickphotography.com/design-marketing/ .

Are You Ready to Embrace Your Own Becoming and Initiate the Unfettering Needed for the next phase in your own expansion?

Do You Know the Gift You Are to the World in a Way that is Fully Embodied?

Today I reach out to share something that is incredibly humbling.

What you see pictured here is the most updated version of The Power of Our Way Medicine Wheel, which is core to everything we represent in this community.

This is also the foundation of the book we have submitted for The Next Top Spiritual Author Contest (we are in the top 150 and still need your votes)!

You can download a PDF of The Power of Our Way Medicine Wheel by clicking here! or going directly to www.powerofmyway.com/return.html

I invite you to meditate and reflect upon the wheel, just as you would a sacred mandala, or a beautiful sunset, and see what emerges both in thought and in energy.

The wheel provides the pathway to transcendence, healing, and a re-awakening to your Divine nature; what I have come to call, Original Intention.

 This is where Creator's Gifts are revealed...

and you understand the gift you are to the world.

What are you ready to transcend and create (and give permission to!) in your life?

Are you consciously cultivating the core energies of transformation within yourself and unfettering from the patterns of belief, thought and behavior that keep you circling the outer edges of who you truly are?

Are you fully aware of all that is accessible and, more importanly, received, from this centered place of immovable power?

What would be possible if you knew the value of your worth and fully surrendered all of the ideas that hide this knowledge from your reality?

How could your Divine Source then presence Itself within you - and provide the inspiration, energy, healing, guidance, and wisdom that simply needs to be welcomed and surrendered to?

What might you begin to experience? And what undesired patterns would either cease to exist, or, at the very least, not shake you up so much when they pop up?

Returning to Your Original Intention-Embracing Your Own Becoming will guide you step-by-step into your own becoming...and is beginning this Wednesday, April 14th.

Join us for a never before offered opportunity to walk the wheel as a community, and step-by-step, travel back to the center of our Original Intentions  - as individuals, and as a human race by reserving your spot at www.powerofmyway.com/return.html

Becoming that which you were Divinely designed means unbecoming that which has falsely directed your sense of who are in the belonging of things...

Moving beyond the patterns and beliefs that keep us circling the edges of the wheel and denying our true SELVES, and the impact we came to create is just the first step...

Visit www.powerofmyway.com/return.html and consider the potential of knowing exactly how to return to your original intention...

*  Imagine living from a place of embodied awareness, oneness, faith, unity and trust.

*  Imagine connecting to a God of your higher understanding, from an identity of wholeness, in a world created of love.

*  Imagine the potential that exists when stories and beliefs of limitation or not enoughness are replaced with the immovable power of the centered self.

*  Imagine surrendering control and worry to the miracles that occur when you allow your Source to guide and direct you.

Imagine knowing, absent of any doubt, who you are, why you came, and how your life experiences have prepared you to be a vehicle for divine expression, service, and all of what is possible when we cultivate The Core Energies of Transformation: Compassion, Divine Empathy, Love, Gratitude, Surrender, Faith Unity and Trust...and ground them in the physical...

"As a person who has extensive experience in the medical field, in the field of psychology, in the cutting edge of integrative medicine, and who is spiritually observant of my own tradition and who has invested a lot of my energy throughout my 60 years into self-development and personal growth, I cannot say enough about the effectiveness of Anita Pathik Law's Power of Our Way Medicine Wheel. The Power of Our Way Medicine Wheel far surpasses any other tool I have ever tried for becoming the person I truly choose and want to be in accordance with my most genuine values. Using the Wheel is at once simple and deeply healing. It elegantly reflects all dimensions of life and readily facilitates your journey to healing and bringing out your potential to be the best version you can be in life.

Anita brings every dimension of life into expression and resolution in the Medicine Wheel, so it is whole, it is comprehensive, it is three dimensional and consonant with how the Universe truly works. Within a few short minutes, between the time one enters the wheel to process any life issue, and the time one completes the cycle, one traverses millions of light years in energetic change and almost immediately gains a whole new perspective on one's entire life experience of each situation. The Power of Our Way Medicine Wheel is simply divinely inspired, ingeniously taught by Anita Pathik Law, and healing and uplifting beyond measure to each person who learns and applies it."

Your Reach Your Last Day – The 10 Human Regrets

This article was inspired by Robin Sharma’s New Book, "The Leader Who Had No Title: A Modern Fable on Real Success in Business and in Life."

A few months ago, I received an advanced copy of Robin Sharma’s newest treasure, "The Leader Who Had No Title: A Modern Fable on Real Success in Business and in Life."

I was immediately absorbed in the pages…and found myself profoundly impacted as I read about the 10 Human Regrets…and the thoughts I had about my own last day here on planet earth.

I read this passage…“and on your last day, all that truly matters is whether you got to know your inner leader, and if you did, whether you had the bravery to allow it to offer its gifts to the world around you.”

Gulp. “Hmmm,” I wondered…”am I being as brave as my soul needs me to be?”

I turned the page.

“You reach your last day with the brilliant song that your life was meant to sing still silent in you.”

Tears welling now.

“You reach your last day and awaken to the fact that you never reached your absolute best nor touched the special genius that you were built to become.”

As I read each of The 10 Human Regrets, I could feel myself becoming aware of some commitments I need to make on behalf of my soul. I also knew I had to share this book with you.

Robin says, “Each of us alone creates the lives we get to live.”

And today, I am honored to share a fable that will touch your heart and possibly kick you in the proverbial butt…to not waste any more time on the stuff of smallness…

If you wish to live bigger, bolder, and leave the footprint your were designed to leave, you’ll love this inspiring fable chock full of profound and practical wisdom…
