Cultivating Love as a Pathway to Prosperity, Health and Creativity

Yesterday, I celebrated a huge shift in my reality...and it inspired something that I am excited to share...(some in pictures!)

And, it is all focused on Cultivating Love as a Pathway to Prosperity, Health and Creativity.

When you visit http://www.powerofmyway.com/soulsjourney.html  you will find an honest and heartfelt letter from me, along with some resources you can download immediately...

You will also find an invitation...

Here is a teensy taste..

Every step towards greater alignment with our soul’s path requires some sort of shift towards greater embodiment.

Allowing and inviting LOVE to lead and inspire you into an elevated consciousness will open you to the thoughts and behaviors that contribute--and open pathways-- to increases in prosperity, health and creativity.

Whether in perspective (HUGE!!!) or in behavior, I can guarantee some profound change is on the horizon.

Considering our human propensity to stay in the familiar, and seek a sense of predictability and certainty in our lives, we can have compassion for the resistance that is likely to come up.

The mythologies and “mistakes” you must reconcile are not always easy to confront.

The BIGNESS you are being called to step towards can feel overwhelming.

Parts of you may feel like they are competing with other parts of you.

And, you are becoming more aware of the opportunity to move from a "Conceptual Understanding" of Prosperity and Abundance into an "Embodied Awareness."

Are You Ready to Dance?

Last night I danced alone in the rain, underneath a lightening filled sky, and dared the thunder nation to mess with me.  Arms outstretched, I felt my clothing getting heavier and heavier as the rain soaked me to the bone.  I raised my voice to the Divine Sacred and felt free of any inclination to be self-conscious or reserved in what I was saying or how I was behaving.  The rain became my tears and my tears became the rain. I turned to each direction and sang the most powerful prayer that I know.  Actually, it was already singing to me, I just simply opened my mouth so it could be heard. In that moment, I didn’t care who saw me, how I looked, or how I sounded. I was honoring the last sentence in a prayer (in the form of a declaration to pain) I shared with you a few days ago on the blog

“And with the sacred winds and the next blessed rains, may you melt into the earth and be reborn as something more beautiful than you know yourself to be."

After all, it was the first rain since writing the prayer and sharing it with you.  The moment I saw the black clouds, I wanted to merge with them; become them in their power, freedom and unpredictability.  Even as the last bit of blue sky was overcome by the storm clouds, there was nothing in me that wanted to take shelter or seek safety.  In that moment I was neither afraid nor inconvenienced. As the wind ripped through my hair and the lightening lit up the darkened sky, I felt connected and alone all at the same time.  In spite of it being Independence Day, I had been silently—secretly--praying for a storm.  As lightening struck the ground behind me my husband smiled at me and told me I was beautiful. He didn’t look at me like I was insane, nor was he worried I would be struck by a wandering bolt of the magnificent currents of light dancing in the sky.

All he saw was beautiful.

As I thought of you, I heard myself saying, “Are you ready to dance with me?”

In that moment I was aware of both my power and my fragility. I felt a conviction to no longer tolerate what is becoming more unacceptable in my life experience, especially when it lacks resonance.  But even in that conviction, there was confusion. This was the kind of confusion that is painfully aware of how much it fears the consequences of clarity. With clarity comes the impending call to surrender to evolutionary inevitabilities that feel threatening, especially to the ways we have come to identify and define ourselves, our worth and our purpose. In the potential dismantling of what has come to define just about everything (we have all been there) we cling to things that we don’t want to let go of.

Conventional Wisdom Would Say I Have Failed…

I once shared something my brother had told me about business. He said that if someone did not say “yes” to an opportunity to do business with me, whether it was registering for a class, hiring me for consultation, healing sessions or coaching, or giving a financial exchange for something available on the website, that no matter what, it would be the result of only one thing; that I had not communicated the value…or shared my value effectively.

From a spiritual perspective, one that includes surrendering to both a Divine calling and instruction, this is a tough one to reconcile.  On one hand, I know that my hard work is not the source of my good, nor the source of abundance, or even my sense of personal value. On the other hand, I live in a world that tells us otherwise.   On one hand, I know that my life and everything I have experienced means nothing to most, yet I am aware it means a lot to a few.   

I have found myself frequently asking, “Why am I alive?” This is a deeper question than merely asking, “Why am I here?” It goes beyond the foundational importance of being aligned with one’s purpose.  Like a sole survivor of a mass tragedy, it is a question that hopes to get to the root of the specific reasons one was spared from death or was granted a miracle. It is a strange and at times, isolating place to be. So much in the world seems irrelevant; wasteful of attention, time and energy.  Other things feel obsessively important, regardless of any justification, evidence or traditional forms of support or encouragement.

All I know is that I made a few important commitments if granted the opportunity to truly live again, including teaching Awakening the Healer Within the second I was able.  I do not know if you are one of the reasons I am here.  What I do know is that I have been prepared in some very creative, unimaginable ways; not just in the last year or two, but throughout my entire life. This preparation has come through some wild and at times, crazy, out of the ordinary experiences, many of which will be shared during the upcoming Awakening the Healer Within Program at   www.powerofmyway.com/awaken.html

Hopefully you have also downloaded the audios we shared with you at www.powerofmyway.com/awakeningthehealerwithin.html

No matter your intention or current level of commitment, I hope you truly take them in and receive value in a way that becomes demonstrated in your life and embodied in your awareness…rather than a nice, flowery idea or sentiment lingering in your mind.

Awakening the Healer Within is a journey that is worthy of our collective time, attention, intention and it is the living, breathing application of everything I am honored to share…because I can and because I truly know I was created to offer it.  It is an imperative journey for coaches, teachers and healers and life altering for those who are committed to enhancing their lives interacting with themselves, their bodies, pasts, minds, and the world around them in radically different ways.

We begin Monday, July 9^th. And, my sense is that the group that is coming together by Divine Appointment has not yet fully formed.

Only you can know if you are one of the ones we have been preparing space for all these years…

If so, reserve your spot today at www.powerofmyway.com/awaken.html

May you be at peace, in love and enveloped in the sacred mystery of your great belonging, Ani

 

 

 

A Question That Can Literally Change Your Life

Is the Environment of Your Mind Conducive to the Transformation and Healing (Manifestation) You Seek?

This question, if answered honestly, can change your life and trajectories currently undesired or feared!

If you have a desire to change the conditions of your life, body, work or relationships (including the ones you have with yourself, your past, your body, etc.) there is always an opportunity to tend to your consciousness.  Consciousnesses, and the thoughts entertained in the mind, are not the same thing though, as is often misunderstood. Rather, your consciousness (the energy fields from which thoughts arise) influences the thoughts you think and the beliefs you carry.

For example, a consciousness of guilt may translate into a belief of “I’m not good enough,” into a trailing thought of “why should I bother trying?” The resulting emotions may be doubt, hopelessness and despair. The body may respond in a variety of ways such as insomnia, digestive issues, chronic fatigue and pain (such as Fibromyalgia), and in the domains of work and relationships you may see patterns of self sabotage.

Having feelings of anger and resentment is different than embodying a consciousness of anger and resentment, just as having feelings of love and gratitude do not necessarily indicate an overarching consciousness of love and gratitude.  You can be abundant and not feel abundant. In the long run, the prevailing consciousness is a much greater influence on all supportive environments and truly reveals opportunities for embodiment.

Wanting to heal - your body or a pattern – does not necessarily mean you believe you can heal. Conceptually you may believe it is possible to heal, or to feel better (get some relief), but you may not fully embody faith that you can heal – or deserve to heal. And, as I wrote about on Friday, healing, for it to be sustained, healing/transformation always needs to occur at the level of consciousness and identity.

All of these layers create conditions that are either conducive (welcome and inviting) to the changes you wish to make and see or they are nonconducive (unwelcoming and uninviting).  Stories need to be released. Most people wish to only address things on the physical level. Some seek to change it on the mental as well as the physical and they become willing to challenge their beliefs and perspectives.  For others, the main focus is on altering the emotions. Others  focus on all of these layers but the environments of their relationships are toxic and non-supportive, and if dependent on their approval and encouragement, sustained healing is less likely. At the final layers, very few scratch the surface at the spiritual and energetic levels (which consciousness is a part of) and even fewer truly get deep down into the level of identity.

It is not as complicated as you may think though, especially when supported by a dynamic approach that naturally addresses the layers at the conscious level and non-conscious levels, tends to energy imbalances in the body and chakras, addresses mental beliefs, creates supportive environments, and offers tools for bringing physical relief, belief repatterning, the release and cultivation of energy, and fosters spiritual connection and identity transformation.

Add to this a kindred and confidential community that feels safe and supportive, yet non-enabling, and you have a rich recipe for healing at multiple levels.  Essentially we co-create an environment that is both conducive to healing and transformation and expansive in terms of elevating consciousness and identity. Naturally, this extends into multiple environments (mind, body, soul, consciousness, work and relationships).

This is the expanse in which we travel during Awakening the Healer Within.  No matter if you  help facilitate healing in others or wish to cultivate it in yourself, no matter  the transformation or healing you seek ( or you know you need to address), this program is rich in content, training and resources that you will be able to use in a variety of ways.  

If you have not registered, or have been dragging your feet (what are you waiting for???), today is the final day to save 20% by using coupon code REBIRTH upon check-out at www.powerofmyway.com/awaken.html .

I am excited to integrate all of what I was shown and taught over the last year into a program I have taught for four.  I knew from the beginning that there would be much to share with you and I am honored to do so.  Learn more about other people’s experiences and many miracles that have occurred while we were in session, such as a woman whose cancerous tumor disappeared in two days (the surgeons were perplexed) and others who healed the past so they could be afforded the future they dreamed of. 

What we teach and emulate is that each of us has an untapped capacity to foster self healing. I am not the healer per se; rather I am a facilitator and witness, an interpreter at times, and an accountability coach at others. Simply put, I am just a person who has been gifted with a lifetime of preparation, experiences and miracles that have caused a drive to share these perspectives and tools with others.

You have received many f*r*e*e audio downloads (of classes and healing activations) and several article links that I truly hope you have taken full advantage of.  

I also hope you take advantage of what you are being offered at www.powerofmyway.com/awaken.html

In closing, I would like to leave you with a few paragraphs from what I shared with you on Friday…

“Healing, not just in physical form, but at the levels of both consciousness and identity, is how you - we – transcend stories and experiences of perceived limitation into an experience of infinite potential.

Clearing the field for infinite possibilities requires a deeper exploration of what we hold as TRUTH, and in doing so we identify the many illusionary beliefs that have created the undesired perceptions of the various worlds we live in.

Compassion enables this exploration, just as empathy enables forgiveness. To create from higher intention requires us to release anything tethered to judgments, resentments or unforgiveness. Releasing such constrictive energies will clear you of spiritual, mental, physical and emotional clutter that blocks a deeper dialogue with spirit and soul.

As you well know, gratitude is clouded by the many constrictive thoughts we carry about ourselves, others and the world. Releasing or healing that which fosters a constrictive energy (such as judgment, regret, doubt, etc.) creates an immediate and expansive opening to new realizations, creations and inspirations. It actually expands your vision and opens up that part of you that once saw from a different level of consciousness.

This is the path of the awakened healer. And, I invite you to visit www.powerofmyway.com/awaken.html and take a few minutes to learn more and read about other people’s experiences. Then, join us (and use code REBIRTH to reduce both options by 20%, through Monday, June 25) for what I can promise will be an incredible, life changing process.

This is so Important! Receive the Benefits Minus the Experience!

I am connecting with you today share something quite personal and to invite you to join me on a journey that is beginning very soon.  It is one I have been honored to guide people through for several years, yet know that this last year has prepared me to share it with you in a way that holds a much different meaning, in a vastly expanded way. 

There is something profound that happens when you face —and make peace with—death.  I’ve been given this gift a few times in my life and know it is not uncommon with people who walk a medicine path. What is so incredible is what I was taught and how it is being prepared to be shared.

The last 2.5 days I have been overcome with some of the most intense inspiration I have ever experienced. I have written over 197 pages of what I know is a direct outpouring of all I have been taught and shown over the last 9+ months.  This book can barely contain its own excitement and as part of the invitation I extend today to join me for a powerful telegathering, I am sharing a small portion of a message I was given just before entering into a radically life altering gestation period. Interestingly, this has become the beginning of a book that I am already humbled by.

I then invite you to visit www.powerofmyway.com/awaken.html and join us for what I know is my most important contribution—a humbling one—of my life thus far. Please enter this code (REBIRTH) for a wonderful surprise if you choose to join us at this time.

There are many of you, that I know, absent of any doubt, that have been praying for what this program provides. Please do not pass on what may be a Divine Appointment!

Here is what is wishing to be shared with you today…

Dear friend,

Join me in the spaciousness of infinite wisdom - an intelligence that seeks to be felt, heard and expressed through you. It does not matter what you call IT; God, Universe, Great Mystery, Source, or Higher Self. It is all the same and knows of Itself by no one name.

You are here to give presence to this consciousness within your Self and to transcend the human mind that says you are limited.

It is time to claim your Divine inheritance and know the truth of your existence.

You are the bridge to all healing, and all healing comes from your Source, your Creator, God. 

In Lakota, my favorite words used to describe, or name God are Taku Wakan Skan Skan, which essentially translates into "something sacred is in motion."

The sacredness of this "something" in motion is a moving presence that exists in all things material, non-material, living and inanimate.

This awareness is asking to be felt, known and demonstrated in your life. You are being asked to actively participate in your own evolution, healing and growth.

And, as you know, it's not always comfortable or timed to fit into your busy schedules, nor is it willed away when you seek the illusionary solace of convenience or comfort.

You are receiving an invitation to move towards embodiment. Conceptual understanding is not nearly as meaningful, nor potent, in the ways of co-creation and healing.

But, you already know this and intuitively, you are aware that you are being nudged to integrate the wisdom that has traveled with you since your inception.

You do not lack capacity or ability and worthiness is just a given. You can argue against all of this, but to what end? Denial of your birthright? Dismissal of the sacred encoding that was born into you?

Enough! It is time to say yes to a reality that exists whether or not you see it, believe it or think you are worthy. It's not personal. It is simply a universal truth that is not capped or hindered by any self-limiting beliefs or the parts of you that resist or are unconscious of it.

 Seek communion in your breath, your thoughts, and in the moments of silence that reveal the still voice of infinite wisdom and possibility.

And if wondering today, "What is mine to do and be?" Ask in the silence and receive the wisdom that is in motion within you. Taku Wakan Skan Skan...and remember, the something sacred in motion is also you.

Be love, be peace, be hope, be faith. Be in the allness of the everythingness and rest in the grace of your Divine nature. 

These are the words that wished to be spoken today and effortlessly, they have typed themselves into existence. As much as I sat down to write something entirely different, I've long ago learned that getting out of the way is my number one job in the roles I have come here to play.

Recently, I was cajoled by many of my clients in the Power of Our Way Community to consider something that I resisted for many months - almost a full year; to really tell the truth of some of my most profound spiritual experiences. I had become attached to a picture of what things needed to look like and in my awareness of this attachment, I surrendered it.

Or, so I thought. Recently, through the grace of conflict, I saw how I had been holding back. I saw how I had denied my own self and allowed an "other" to dictate my worth. Of course, since there is no "other" in the highest of spiritual contexts, I had chosen my own denial.

You would think that a person, such as me, (so my inner ego’s conversation goes) would know better! Alas, the hilarious nature of spiritual amnesia and divine forgetting.

To Truth, I reawaken. As I come out of my own hiding, I say yes to that which I have resisted and now fully rejoice in all of my humanness.

Want to join me?

It begins with a question. What is it within you, your thoughts, your past, and your life that is asking to be transcended, released and healed?

Healing is what delivers us into an experience of gratitude that is so potent, it naturally fosters peace. Healing, not just in physical form, but at the levels of both consciousness and identity, is how you - we – transcend stories and experiences of perceived limitation into an experience of infinite potential.

Clearing the field for infinite possibilities requires a deeper exploration of what we hold as TRUTH, and in doing so we identify the many illusionary beliefs that have created the undesired perceptions of the various worlds we live in.

Compassion enables this exploration, just as empathy enables forgiveness. To create from higher intention requires us to release anything tethered to judgments, resentments or unforgiveness. Releasing such constrictive energies will clear you of spiritual, mental, physical and emotional clutter that blocks a deeper dialogue with spirit and soul.

As you well know, gratitude is clouded by the many constrictive thoughts we carry about ourselves, others and the world. Releasing or healing that which fosters a constrictive energy (such as judgment, regret, doubt, etc.) creates an immediate and expansive opening to new realizations, creations and inspirations. It actually expands your vision and opens up that part of you that once saw from a different level of consciousness.

This is the path of the awakened healer. And, I invite you to visit www.powerofmyway.com/awaken.html and take a few minutes to learn more and read about other people’s experiences. Then, join us (and use code REBIRTH to reduce both options by 20%, through Monday, June 25) for what I can promise will be an incredible, life changing process.

Throughout our time together you will:

• Reawaken and remember that you have a direct relationship and connection to the Divine Mystery.

• Learn powerful ways to pray and utilize various healing activations effectively – with yourself and other—in service to healing and transcendence.

• Become more conscious and present to your innate abilities to heal at the conscious, unconscious, cognitive/mental, emotional, energetic, spiritual and physical levels and be given tools and instruction that will open these abilities on a greater scale.

• Rewire the connections that have been compromised by your conditioning; your human experiences, religious, familial, spiritual upbringing, and the busyness and constant mind chatter that distances you from your original intention and inherent power to heal.

• Become more aware of your own thoughts, energy and emotions and learn how to become more of an observer and alchemist in your own life.

• Work with energy in various ways, through various exercises and activities.

• Have an experiential awareness of what resonates and works for you and learn tools that you can continue to use, develop and practice for ongoing self-healing.

 

• Learn how sound, vibration, breath, hypnosis, theta, prayer, meditation, shamanic healing, touch, or other forms of energy healing modalities may be calling to you to go deeper and engage in consistent practice.

• Experience a variety of group and partnered healing sessions and release and expand in the ways you are ready and want to! 

And...so much more than you can imagine!

A Miracle, Milestone and Gift for You

I am sharing something (a gift, below) with you today in celebration of a miracle. This Thursday, June 7^th, I reach a milestone; one that was told I would never reach. See, when I was about 27 years old, suffering from the effects of Lupus, my doctors sat me down and predicted that it would be unlikely to live past the age of 42.  

 

Six months later, I was blessed with a profound spiritual experience and was healed completely. It did not matter what the medical community said was possible or impossible, there was something within me that made the shift from a desire to "feel better" to a decision to heal.

 

It was during that experience, alone in the woods, that I first consciously heard and felt a Divine Presence in such a way that it bubbled over into my writing and teachings. It was also the beginning of an entirely new existence, one where my most profound realizations and awarenesses would be shared through the inspired messages and that you have experienced as song lyrics, poetry, writing, facilitated healing meditations and audios, and, of course, the Sunday Soul messages and classes I have been honored to share with you over the years.

 

Over this last year, in particular, the last 9 months, as I laid in a darkened room, in almost constant, excruciating pain (caused by a Spontaneous Cerebral Spinal Fluid Leak), I repeatedly drew from my initial experience and subsequent healing. Although there were two distinct moments when I truly though I was dying, I can honestly say that my faith and connection to Source never faltered.

 

As I shared during the June 3^rd Sunday Soul Gathering, I did not need to have faith that I would heal, rather, I needed to stay connected to an unwavering faith that there was a Divine reason and purpose for the bizarre illness and my priority was to continuously foster openings for the "Higher Learning" to be received. As I shared from the beginning, I also knew, absent of any doubt or resistance, that what I was experiencing was a direct response to prayers spoken just 4 days before experiencing my first symptoms. The illness itself was seen as sacred and Divine, even in the toughest of moments.

 

This Thursday, June 7^th, I will turn 43 years old. There will be no big social celebrations or parties. The day itself, however, is monumental; a victory for reaching a birthday that the wisdom of the world said would never be. This is why I am so excited to be integrating all of what I have been taught, shown and seen into the next Awakening the Healer Within Program at www.powerofmyway.com/awaken.html  

 

In fact, beginning today through midnight on June 7^th I am also thrilled to be giving you a special coupon code that will reduce the early bird tuition by 50%. Use this code: BIRTHDAY, all caps through June 7th at midnight EST! 

 

You can also register at www.powerofmyway.com/awakeningthehealerwithin.html for several *F*R*E*E audio downloads on this topic and join us for an open orientation call on June 28^th.

 

To learn more about the blessings of this powerful journey, and the nuggets that I've shared thus far, you can download the last few weeks of Sunday Soul Gathering's at www.powerofmyway.com/sundaysoul.html 

 

 I'll be in touch and thank you for all of the prayers and well wishes!

 

Namaste, Anita Pathik Law

Beyond the Walls Your Treasures Await

Before watching the video (of one of the greatest songs ever), and the accompanying lyrics at the end of this article, I ask you…

“Have you ever had a moment when you felt as if a great, big, huge wall was standing between you and a more desired reality or goal and then you suddenly realized you had built the wall with your own two hands (proverbially speaking, of course)?”

Last week we began a teleclass called Aligning with Your Divine Design. As with most offerings these days, it began as more of an “instruction,” as opposed to an inspiration.

I had all sorts of reasons why it was a bad idea. My personality argued primarily about the timing, concerned that the start date (which was part of the specific instruction) was neither practical, nor convenient.

Now, imagine getting into an argument with God. It shouldn’t be hard to do, especially since I’m fairly certain you, as do I, do it all the time, whether or not we acknowledge it as such, or recognize it for what it is.

So often Divine Instruction comes as a fleeting thought or nudge, one that if we are not fully present to will literally go into one ear and out the other. Other times, it comes as a deep longing that requires willingness, commitment, and action that gets thwarted by fear or patterns of self sabotage.

Other times it hits up against a wall we’ve built around the highest aspects of ourselves, our innate wisdom, and the parts of us that we’ve tucked underneath some of the most elaborate illusions and identities adopted or imagined.

What I have come to understand over the years is that when I say yes to the instruction, the inspiration follows, bursting into my mind and heart as if it was merely awaiting my invitation – or an allowing of the mystical to overcome the practical.

Well, you can imagine who won the fight this time, and finally, I gave in and began the process of letting folks such as yourself know that it was happening. I surrendered my expectations (or so I thought) and the day of the orientation I was flooded with so much information that I was vibrating with excitement and curiosity.

Before we were even halfway through the orientation call, something happened that took my breath away. If I hadn’t already been lying down, my guess is I would have fallen to the ground. Those of us on the call took in a few deep breaths and just sat in silent reverie of a shared moment of knowing that a Divine Hand had been at work all along.

The “why” had so clearly revealed itself that all I could do was cry, look up to the ceiling and whisper, “Thank you God, thank you God. I am so sorry for doubting you. I promise to remember this moment and the perfection you have shown me.”

In that moment, there was confirmation; a sacred validation of a faith I choose to follow, honor, show up for and extend, regardless of outcomes and absent of the conditions my personality so often wants to demand, often for very good reasons.

After wrapping up the session that night, I leaned into the humble knowing that I had witnessed, and fortunately participated in, such a Divinely orchestrated answer to many prayers spoken and unspoken.

Yet, as is still true today, 4 days later, I also felt a deep sadness. I knew there were many people who had ignored the nudge to join us, or never opened the email or read the articles that contained an answer to their prayers.

Timing, cynicism, lack, unworthiness, fear and all sorts of reasons had built a wall between the present and the future, conflict and peace, longing and fulfillment, misalignment and harmony, pain and comfort.

I get it. And, more than ever, I know that life is unpredictable and time can feel short. I could feel remnants of my own co-dependence getting tantalized by the idea of shouting out to who I could feel were thousands of people (not just dozens) whose prayers were answered but ignored or dismissed in ways that have become habitual; a byproduct of conditioning and the ego’s greatest victory when it wins over an opponent to its own transcendence.

Life has an interesting way of revealing what has always been known, yet often denied. Beyond the walls built by fear and the denial or resistance of who we have always been there awaits the treasures you have been seeking.

Listen to this song, The Wall, by the band Kansas, and follow along with the lyrics that follow. It totally aligns with essence of this ongoing exploration into aligning with our Divine design.

The Wall

performed by KANSAS, (Kerry Livgren / Steve Walsh)

I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
And with each passing day I feel a little
more like something dear was lost

It rises now before on me, a dark and silent barrier between,
All I am, and all that I would ever want be
It's just a travesty, towering, marking
off the boundaries my spirit would erase

To pass beyond what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few who've seen it through to glimpse the other side,
The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride

The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air
It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see

Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me I know it well
The riches that I seek are waiting on the other side
There's more that I can measure in the treasures of the love that I can find

And though it's always been with me, I must tear down the Wall and let it be
All I am, and all that I would ever want to be, in harmony
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
THERE IS NO LOSS

Ready to tear down your walls and Align with Your Divine Design? It's not too late to join us... visit www.powerofmyway.com/soulsjourney.html

You will immediately receive the orientation audio and get started before our next gathering!

Love and Blessings, Ani

 

From My Who-ness to Yours

Last spring I had the honor of facilitating a retreat in Boulder, Colorado at the home of one of my best friends and colleagues, Paula Langguth Ryan. It was extraordinary and at the end of each day, Paula and I would hang out and inevitably get into some deep and often hilarious conversations. In spite of knowing each other for about 15 years, I think we were both astonished to learn so much more about each other, and often one of us would say, “Oh my gosh, I never knew that about you!”

One evening, as she was reading a short story she had published many years prior, I sat there looking at her, enthralled not only by her story and her amazing skill as a writer and storyteller, but by her entire essence of being and the energy transmitted through that essence. I must have had a funny grin on my face, because suddenly, she stopped her story and said, “What? What is that look about?”  I said, “I just love your who-ness.” “My whoness? What does that mean?” she asked.

I had never used the word before, probably because it isn’t one (a word), but I knew exactly what it meant.  I explained that I just loved “who” she was and how she had changed and evolved over the 15 years I had known her. I loved her mind, her humor, her heart, and everything that was unique about her. Most importantly, I loved that she was freely being her “whoness,” not just with me in that moment, but during the retreat she wasn’t trying to be anything than who she was.

I reflected on the people and clients who I have come to adore and love the most over the years and what I consistently saw as a common theme was the depth of love and appreciation for their “who-nesses.”

On some level, without planning it, the retreat really began to center around everyone seeing and appreciating each other’s “whonesses” You can imagine the hilarity when, the next day we all explored the idea of being comfortable and accepting of our whoness (within self and with others) as a support of our “royal we-ness (I could go on but it all starts sounding a little inappropriate and hugely hilarious).

Do you love your whoness?

Do you? Do you even really know what that means for you? In all seriousness, on some level I think one of the greatest tragedies is when a person never really gets to know and fully express the uniqueness of their being – the who-ness that gets buried under years of conditioning, fear and self-judgment.

We’ve all been in relationships where it didn’t feel safe to be our true selves, or maybe we had a hard time accepting the “whoness” of another.  Resonance and connection, two of the most transformational and influential elements to fulfillment, and two of the most profound ways our souls communicate, cannot fully exist in a dynamic of denial and rejection.

Yet, isn’t it interesting how often we deny and reject the very parts of ourselves (and others) that will, in fact, create the most opportunities to experience both resonance and connection? In the meantime, we feel as if something is “off” or missing “out there,” but, if really explored, so much of what seems to be “missing” is actually rooted in not knowing, loving, or respecting ourselves (and all of our oddities) in connection to our sacred whoness.

In a world where fitting in, hiding our true natures, or sacrificing who we are for whom we think others want or need us to be, the place of our deepest connection, truth, belonging, expression and purpose can get quite muddled. It is no wonder the numbers of people in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s who come to me for coaching and healing work that often don’t even know who they are or why they exist, let alone devalue themselves because they can’t see themselves as unique and special beings born to a potential not yet realized.

Just like everything that exists in creation, we all have a design that is unique and supportive of the purpose we came here to fulfill and the sense of meaning that will bring us the greatest fulfillment. I’ve come to call this your “Divine Design.”  Your Divine design is your core essence, sourced in your unique encoding; the aspects of your personality, talents, interests and abilities that are inherent to you.

Your life experiences are intended to reveal more of that encoding, sometimes in ways that are challenging.  When taken advantage of, they can be revealing in terms of identifying many conditioned patterns of thoughts or behaviors that have hindered you from both understanding and expressing yourself in a way that supports your encoded potential, or Divine Design.

When out of alignment, we can feel as if something is missing; possibly a key awareness that would significantly alter both your sense of self and the potential that exists when you honor, acknowledge and cultivate what is inherent in your design. Aspects of your unique design have been evident since you were a young child, while other aspects may be hidden from you until the timing that is most Divine and perfect, often for reasons initially unknown.

 Aligning with your Divine Design is a process of unfettering from illusionary identities and beliefs and then undergoing an exploration of what exists at your essence.  Until we can truly come to appreciate and align with our Divine Design how can we even know what resonates and what doesn’t? How can we choose anything with confidence and clarity? And, how can we truly tap into the foundational worth of our existence?

To learn more about the potential that exists when we Align with Our Divine Design I encourage you to join us tomorrow, Tuesday at www.powerofmyway.com/soulsjourney.html

Each week we will engage in dynamic teachings, discussions and a healing activation or clearing. The groups that come together are so clearly orchestrated and organized by the Divine, it is humbling.

If you would love a “taste” of what we experience you can listen to two healing activations today. Due to confidentiality, I can’t share an audio of the dynamic discussions and exercises we do each week, but I can share these with you today!

You Are a Breath of Heaven

I don't think one could spend so much time in solitude as I have over the last few months and not receive powerful insights for one's self and others.

Some of these insights are so important to share that I will do my best to do so as clearly and concisely as possible AS INSPIRED TO DO SO, beginning below in both words and a song...

First, because I dropped off the grid this week, I wasn’t around to respond to some time-sensitive questions about the next Soul’s Journey Into Expression Teleseries beginning on February 21 at www.powerofmyway.com/soulsjourney.html

Why Align with Your Divine Design?

Years ago when I first heard a song entitled “Breath of Heaven” (video posted below) by Amy Grant, also known as “Mary’s Song,” I knew it was not just about Mary and the miracle that Christians commonly refer to as the Immaculate Conception.

From a metaphysical perspective it is a song about me and you. It is a prayer that reminds each of us about the power and gift of surrendering to the Divine Plan for each of our uniquely designed lives.

And, it is a reminder that each of us, you included, has been seeded with a potential that is Divine in its origin; chosen because God had faith in us to carry the dream to “term.”

In other words until the point in time when your greater “why” and all of your preparation (mostly through your life’s greatest challenges) intersected with Divine timing, you have been entrusted to be a womb of sorts for new creation.

It is a song that speaks to one of the toughest truths each of us must reconcile with at some point in our lives; a truth that regardless of religion or faith, every human being was born and created for a purpose and that no matter the resistance, whether internal or external, we at times don’t feel worthy, prepared, or ready to “give birth” to a dream and destiny that is greater than most can even begin to imagine.

And, most important, we are reminded (by Mary) that if we ask for the strength to know, to grow, to accept and surrender to a destiny unfolding, often in the most mysterious of ways, that we will contribute something quite significant to the whole of humanity.

Herein lies the greatest opportunity ever given to every man, woman and child…the opportunity to allow life and all of its crazy and unexpected happenings to be acknowledged as something that is happening FOR you, not to you.

I say this as I celebrate, in victory, a feat I never would have chosen (consciously at least); the feat of being flat on my back, undergoing treatment for 4+ months, confined to my bed, often in total darkness and quiet and not lose either my mind or my sense of purpose and worth.  Although much of the time I am in pain, unable to sit long enough to eat a simple meal, I know I have been given an incredible gift.

I know this is part of my destiny’s path unfolding. I also know that it is not, nor has it ever been totally about me and my own growth in service as a human being, wife, mother, spiritual teacher, or healing facilitator.

This experience has been filled with prayers answered – big, huge prayers (to fully embody faith and compassion) that at times I wished I could take back (ha, ha), or add an addendum that requested my prayers be answered in easier more graceful ways (she says laughing her proverbial a** off!).

You are a Unique and Vital Creation, Created for Reasons Yet to be Known or Fully Understood

You have been chosen to do remarkable things and be a catalyst for great change in a world whose consciousness is forever evolving.  Aligning with your Divine Design is much more than say, healing non-serving beliefs or enhancing your sense of self worth and confidence.

Aligning with your Divine Design is probably one of the most profound opportunities to truly embody faith and trust and cultivate an intimate, ongoing, communicative relationship with a God of a much higher understanding than most of us can presently fathom.

BUT…this level of alignment does not guarantee a life of ease and perpetual clarity, happiness and complete bliss.  Rather, it requires a personal cultivation of faith, willingness and holy communication that will ultimately guide you towards a deeper honoring of who you are in terms of a sacred design that was encoded into you, not necessarily created by you.

Listen to this inspiring song with a metaphysically minded approach and let yourself go beyond the literal, ok?  Imagine you as the vessel through which the Divine wishes to manifest greatness dedicated to the whole of humanity. The more you resist, the more God will persist. The less you interfere, the more grace will be revealed.

Then, reserve your spot at www.powerofmyway.com/soulsjourney.html and join us for this powerful teleclass beginning on Tuesday, February 21!

For Healing to be Made Manifest...

This morning I received this message and initially thought it was to be shared with the folks going thru the Initiating the Shift Program.

Then, I realized it is for everyone...so here it is!

"For healing to be made fully manifest, what has previously been unconscious must become conscious, in both the human perspective and from what has always been within the Divine's Perspectives. When able to see through Divine eyes we receive an understanding beyond the conditioning and consciousness that is human in perspective. As you allow yourself to rise up into the expansiveness of this knowing, all will be forgiven and reinterpreted as the gifts of their Original Intention. You hold the key to freedom. In the letting go of past perspectives held in any form of resentment, guilt, shame, blame or victimization, you allow for the expansion of your God self to be made more aware within you, in others, and in all situations and events of the past. It is not just you that benefits...the entire world benefits.

For this, God gives thanks. Allow yourself to fully receive the blessings that are imminent when you clear space for the good that is wishing to be made manifest within all layers of your being and in every detail of your life. Forgiveness opens you to be infused with the consciousness of love that precedes all healing. Prepare yourself now by saying yes to love inhabiting you in ways that may feel foreign to you at first. Your woundedness may fight to survive. Old stories may try hard to revive themselves. Embracing your shadows in love and acceptance for what they have taught you is a gift you can now give to yourself and others. Celebrate how they revealed that which was in need of the Compassion that opens you to Truth, the Divine Empathy that opened you to Forgiveness and the Love that will be the bridge to healing beyond anything that you can possibly imagine.”

Also, a reminder...Everyone who registers before midnight on Saturday, Feb. 18 at http://powerofmyway.com/soulsjourney.html will receive a free private healing session that we'll record and put to music....

From My Heart to Yours

Yesterday, after another fabulous Sunday Soul gathering, I received the nudge to capture some of the main points in writing.  From my heart to yours, it is my prayer that you come away with a greater understanding of how important your life, and why aligning with the Divine Design that is unique to you, is so vitally important to the rest of us.

This message came two days after I heard myself respond to some Divine Guidance to make a new movie and extend an extraordinary opportunity for those of you who are committed to aligning with your soul’s path and honoring your “Divine Design,” but still find yourself asking, “Why bother? What’s the Point?”

Every day I witness one of the most intriguing dynamics between humans and the Divine. It is akin to playing tug-o-war with one’s lower self and higher self and quite honestly, it can feel as if we are being split in two.

When played out in our relationships and work, or even in how we relate to money, or our deepest, most Divinely inspired dreams, it can be quite destructive to a greater intention that wishes to be fulfilled...

 Simply put, this intriguing dynamic reveals the ongoing ways we war against our innate and intended potential as human beings, in relationships with others, and certainly in relationship with our Higher Power and what we’ve come to call our “Divine Design.”

In fact, many of today’s greatest minds would agree that much of what we are facing—as individuals and as a human race—is a powerful urging and urgency to align with our Divine Design and move beyond lower levels of consciousness and behavior that foster more separation and less unification, within ourselves, and in relationship with others.

They would also agree that this level of alignment begins with you – the individual—to come into greater alignment with your Divine Design.

And, you might be asking (thru layers of past disappointments, or ego interference), “Why Bother?”

Here is why you should bother, ok?

Aligning with Your Divine Design will clear blocks to receiving a good unimagined, and more importantly, it aligns the energy and courage it takes to act on the wisdom, guidance and inspiration that are aligned with your very reasons for existence. 

This level of alignment will also bring clarity to why you have lived the life you have lived thus far and what you have been prepared for, in ways previously unimagined, or unaware of.  Imagine the potential freedom in that one statement!

Our next Soul’s Journey Into Expression Series, will be focused on Aligning with Your Divine Design; opening you to receive your Creator's vision and understanding of what is most aligned with your soul path and the contributions you have been uniquely created to make in the lives of others…beginning with yourself.

In tandem to the clearing of unconscious and conscious blocks and beliefs that hinder you from surrendering to a higher and greater will for your life, relationships and your unique business expressions, you will then be infused with the energy, perspectives and the willingness to fully surrender to your Divine Design, and what is being called forth right now in one or more areas of your life.

Think about this next statement and the amazing implications…

The more aligned you are with God’s will for your life – the very reasons for your existence and the life experiences you have had thus far –the more likely it will be that your desires will be a pre-cognitive, pre-sensory awareness of what is already in the process of coming into your life.

In other words, you will no longer desire something because you think it is lacking or absent from your life. Instead, desire will be an indication of something you are being prepared for, in alignment with your greater “why…,” and in service to a destiny that is in the process of unfolding…

My questions for you are…

Are you prepared? Are you willing? Are you open to a actively engaging in an expedition; not into the vast “unknown,” but rather into the vast expanse of the “inknown” wisdom that has always been?

Are you a welcoming place for receiving energy, inspiration, guidance and clarity that comes from your inherent divinity, as opposed to taking actions (or inactions) from fear, lack, or some other humanly conditioned form of fear and lack?

Or, over time, is it possible that the environment of your mind (and what you have come to believe and disbelieve) has become an unwelcoming place for much of what will bring you the greatest joy and fulfillment?

I know this is a tough question to ask and honestly answer. I also know it is both important and urgent. It is worthy of your time, energy and contemplation.

After all, until you truly know yourself as God knows you, you can never really claim authenticity or fully “own your power”…can you?

Until you trust yourself as God has entrusted you from the beginning – at the genesis of your creation —how can you really place trust in the very foundations of your faith and ever fully understand what it means to surrender to a vision and will that is simply Divine in its intelligence, creativity and reasoning?

Take a moment and consider the potential that is activated when we come into alignment with a higher will.

• Imagine how the things you desire might change, what will suddenly make sense to you, and the distractions and diversions that will no longer be an issue.
• Imagine embodying the value of your worth and how that will completely alter the trajectory of your life, let alone your day-to-day decisions!
• Imagine trusting your inner (Divine) guidance, and the peace that will follow.

And…

Imagine the power and potential of partnering, on all levels, with God’s will and wishes for you to know yourself as God knows you, and be the expression that is most aligned with your Divine Design, in forms unique to you!

What would you be thinking, feeling and doing that you are not currently (or consistently) thinking feeling and doing?

And…

What would you no longer be thinking, feeling and doing that may, in fact, be excuses, diversions and distractions that are diminishing the very “stuff” you are made of and blinding you to your own pre-destined potential?

Here are just some of the words you might begin using to describe your life…

• Extraordinary
• Magical
• Synchronistic
• Amazing
• Beautiful
• Soulful
• Aligned
• Supremely guided
• Fulfilling
• Abundant
• Prosperous
• Miraculous

Here is something you may not have thought of before…

God trusted you with the gifts, talents and passions you have been given.  God has placed faith in you with every glorious opportunity and every challenge or burden you have ever faced, even those you didn’t think you could handle.

This is not something I say casually, nor is it something you should “skate by” without really exploring the profound nature of a co-creative relationship that began long before most of us can or will ever remember.

If you have really given yourself permission to take this all in, you will be feeling humbled right about now.  Honored.  Excited.  Maybe you are even a little nervous (which is soul-level excitement interpreted by the ego as fear).

Although you have been conditioned to question your faith, deny your intuition and ignore many forms of inspiration, you possess the power to go deeper within (to your core essence, intelligence and Divine Design) and higher above, in both perspective and perception of identity.

Are you experiencing a sense of frustration and stuckness and wish to take steps forward?

What would it feel like if your EGO was fully in service to your SOUL...instead of FIGHTING AGAINST IT?

Are you unsure of whether fear is motivating you (or demotivating you) and yet know that you authentically wish to be grounded in faith, aligned with God's WILL, rather than your humanly conditioned will?

Imagine Your Will Aligned with the Divine's...

Imagine being able to get the inspiration from your Soul and your right, creative brain to INITIATE strategy and actions in your left brain...with your body, mind and spirit truly working together to help you show up brilliantly in your life...

This is the focus of our next five-week Soul’s Journey Into Expression Series, centered on Aligning with Your Divine Design;  a transformational and expansive journey that will open you to receiving Creator's vision of the service most aligned with your soul path and the contributions you have been uniquely created to make in the lives of others…beginning with yourself.
