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.

Why Bother? Here's Why!

Two days ago, I was in meditation and received the inspiration and guidance to make a new meditation movie called “The Journey Into the Inknown.”

Given the 30 hours of work one of these movies can take I could feel some resistance pushing up against what I have come to recognize as pure Divine Guidance.

I had tapped into a question that I sense many people have been asking lately, especially when they are engaged in consistent, conscious choices but are not seeing the desired results, in the timing of their preference, both of which are often equated as proof or evidence of success or failure.

Many people are asking, “Why Bother?”

I've noticed that I too will ask this question when I'm disconnected from my higher purpose, or am not trusting my Divine Plan, or my ability to really show up in a good, solid, compassionate, loving way in the face of challenges or adversity.

Fortunately, I’ve come to know the tone of my ego when it is in resistance, and I invited her to sit back and enjoy while I followed the Divine Instruction. But, I still hear that question come up in my mind when I am being guided to create something (like this movie), and I get attached to people watching it.

In these moments I'm simply not being present to the absolute awe-inspiring experience of co-creating with the Divine, regardless of what anyone thinks, does or feels in response to the co-creation.

Now I ask you to do the same by turning up your volume and pushing “play” before reading the remainder of what I know is an important message, from my soul to yours…

For the remainder of this message, one I know (and you know) that matters...in ways you may not have thought of, visit www.powerofmyway.com/soulsjourney.html and join us for the next teleseries on Aligning with Your Divine Design….

***Hurry! The first ten people to register will receive a FREE, one-on-one healing session with Ani that will also be recorded for your ongoing use!

Here is recent testimonial from a business and marketing coaching client who recently scheduled a healing session!

“Ani, I’m writing share the incredible results I experienced after just one of your healing sessions!  I came to you because I was stuck – in my life and business.  I didn’t know how to break through and needed some miracles now!  During the session I felt tremendous peace and the sense that all would be well.  After the session I saw significant results in DAYS that impacted me AND my family.

• The day after my session with you, a generous friend called & offered me a paid trip to New York, which allowed me to network for my business AND have a much needed vacation.

• Our home sold in record time (escrow closed in 3 weeks!) and in a matter of days a beautiful new home was provided for us exactly the day we needed it.   And get this, without even asking, friends showed up at door ready to help us move.

• My husband was offered a new job and started 30 days after our session!

• My daughter was offered a paid trip to South Korea where she spent her holiday break from college teaching English and learning a new culture.

Amazing…all this from one healing session!  I can’t thank you enough for the wisdom, support and healing that you shared.  Your warmth and compassion was greatly appreciated during a time when it didn’t seem to make sense.  Since our session, clarity has set in and I see doors continue to open that I had only dreamed of.   From the bottom of my heart…thank you, thank you, thank you!”

The Great Belonging by Anita Pathik Law

The Great Belonging

Anita Pathik Law, January 26, 2012

 

Like music without a melody, or words with no meaning

I arose this morning without a vision, not a glimpse nor a gleaning

Deep inside the thoughts, seemed unable to be formed

into something much more meaningful, than the tears I now adorned

 

The jewels of God’s unanswered prayers that covered skin and face

was the grief of the ancients, my people, my race

Of course I belong nowhere, or so it has been told

Too brown to be white, I heard as a small girl

 

As I grew older, I became perpetually confused

What makes us so darned different? Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, Jews?

And what is so feared, about Muslims and the Koran?

As far as I could tell, we were all part of a Divinely orchestrated plan

 

Of course I grew up in a world, built by terror, threat and fear

Skin color or accents, determined who you would or could endear

Religions all divided, between and within

Who was this God, who created us in sin?

 

Why would he do that? If we were truly made

In their likenesses and image, were the Gods full of hate?

And so I grew up, in worlds of secrets, spite and lies

I was told we are all equal, yet so many still despised

 

Anyone different, in religion, creed or race

I was the lesser of two genders, and belonged in no one place

But my God showed great mercy, to a girl in growing pain

And told me he was the God, known by thousands of holy names

 

spoken in tongues and languages foreign to my mind.

That it was people’s misunderstandings that had made them so clearly blind

And my saving grace was that, I was put on a path of service and love

It happened ever so quickly, at the young age of twelve

 

I let go of all identities, found my purpose and my truth

Cocooned in a world I fashioned, where skin color was simply moot

Yet all around me, this hatred did still reign

Now it’s nation against nation, hating immigrants and gays

 

Politicians acting like children, name calling, hate and blame

And somehow they justify their behaviors, all in God’s good name

Sure there have been some changes, on paper we know at least

But man and his ego, can turn beauty into beast

 

If someone changes their mind, about policy or law

We discount evolution of consciousness as the celebrated cause

Instead we call them flip floppers, and use their growth against them

Now it’s conservatives against liberals, bickering lions in the den

 

Personally I believe, that leaders should demonstrate change

Evolve and create more solutions, instead of causing so much pain

United we stand, divided we fall

Haven’t we learned anything at all?

 

Or is it just a game of power and greed?

That denies us of freedoms, regardless of culture or creed?

I watch them behaving like children immature

It seems as if we accept it, conflict anchored at the core

 

Hate ads and campaigns that point fingers and cast blame

Neanderthals with money, it’s a dangerous political game

Grow up and get on with it, it is time don’t you see?

To see all people as sacred, as holy, and as born free?

 

Some people won’t admit that they really haven’t changed

That they don’t really want better, so all of humanity can gain

Instead they hold onto the rhetoric of the past, hating portions of the population

Even within their own families, communities and nations

 

I used to believe I was lucky that we lived in the land of the free

Yet there’s still a generation of ignorance, denying that liberty

Belongs to all the people, across oceans and all lands

That all the borders built, have been built by hands of man

 

Holy men preaching hate, saying only a few can be saved

Politicians masking hatred as worthy ideals are all the rave

Doesn’t it seem funny that in 2012 we still can’t seem to agree

That all life is precious, and it is this that we refuse to see?

 

I wonder if there ever, will be that blessed day

When what we all do is aligned with all of what we say

And that what we say is said from love, compassion and respect

That we no longer fight to be better than or best

 

But rather we grow up, humanity as a whole

And begin to care about each other; that this becomes the core

Of every nation and religion, to find a common ground

To recreate this world we live in, every city, every town

 

Yes it will take courage, to go against the grain

Yes you’ll have to evolve beyond all your self-justified pain

 It begins with the individual to forgive and move on

And stop looking for what is different than you, as something that is wrong

 

Personally it is easy when you open up your heart

Compassion and forgiveness is a worthy start

Admit where you’re confused and ask to understand

Take personal responsibility and reach out a gentle hand

 

You may call me a dreamer, idealistic and naïve

No matter your opinion, I still bet you would agree

That what we have been doing, up until this point

Isn’t really working, and that something’s out of joint

 

And that maybe we could pursue a higher form of thought

So all the work that has been done, will never be for naught 

And we’ll know that using fear and hatred to manipulate for gain,

Violence and oppression is what truly has been insane

 

I wonder who we’ll give credit to, as history unfolds

And a greater story of past and present soon it will be told

That what once was wrong will be seen as right and right will be so wrong

That the essence of why we all exist will all clearly become known

 

A higher vision already born, of unity and love

Will make its mark in the hearts of all, in all nations under God

Where no other is caste above another human being,

and we co-create a better world by simply changing what we’ve been seeing

 

You may not think it possible, but I ask you then what’s the point?

And why with such vast choices would we not anoint

Compassion and love as our ambassadors, and finally choose to live

All as one and one for all is possible, when we all decide to give

 

Our time and energy to love and care, because it is what we do

Come together in unity and love because we’ve all worn the other shoe

This is what will save us from any more disgrace,

A humanity reborn in love, on behalf of the entire human race

 

It can all start now, right here, right now, today

There is no valid reason to wait even one more day

Clean up your mind of conditioned clutter, take responsibility for your shift

Accept a higher calling, and live like you can truly live

 

What kind of God would create so many, just so they can hate?

It just does not make any sense, it cannot truly be our fate

But I am just one speck of God created in time and space

So I’ll need your help to begin again and quicken up the pace

 

Are you in or out I ask, can you step up to the plate?

And align with a will higher than most, releasing fear and hate?

It’s all about us choosing to live the power of our way

And together we can rise, into a brand new day

 

Where all our children can feel safe and sheltered from all storms

Where love is what we choose from and it simply becomes the norm

Retune our eyes to beauty and see the good in all

This is my heart’s desire and though the order may seem tall

 

I do believe it possible, probable in fact

If we all just take a moment and choose the highest act

One of good will and shared fortune, you soon will come to see

That it really is as simple as moving from “me” to “we”

 

Us and them no longer works, as if it ever has

Too many lives unlived or lost, present, future, past

It will be worth it in the end when we all look from above

That all it took was a simple shift; a change in our perspective

 

And we’ll be proud of where we ended and how we all got there

We’ll laugh at our own misunderstandings, and fix what was unfair

So will you join me in this dream? Yes it may take time.

But after all we are all related, the fruit of the great Divine

 

So the time we take to right ourselves is worthy, it makes a difference don’t you know?

The only real requirement is a willingness to grow

Above, beyond and back to center is where we’ll need to travel

And all the stories and mythologies will finally be unraveled

 

We can co-create great strides, and live heaven here on earth

Personally I think that is why each of us was birthed

So join me on this journey, back to a wisdom once inknown  

And co-create the Great Belonging, where the entire world is home    

 

Join me on this worthy and transformational journey, and Initiate a Shift on Monday, January 30, 2012 at www.powerofmyway..com/shift.html

The Power is in the Perspective

When I awoke on Sunday morning, I had no idea what the essence of our Sunday Soul message and meditation was going to be about.

To be quite honest, this is true most of the time, but on this particular day, I wasn't even given a title to work with. Fortunately, over time, I have embodied the perspective that if I do my part and become the "hollow bone," the message will be clear, and certainly one I will need to hear myself.

The Power is in the Perspective

As I listened this morning, the title became clear and as I received the message I had delivered the day before, I was humbled by the contributions of many who attended live. Listen here and complete the form below to receive this (and a dozen or so inspired messages) as an MP3 download.

The Seed, the Dream and You

Yesterday was pure magic.  As I was preparing to call into the bridge line for our Sunday Soul Gathering, a poem erupted in my mind and we shared it at the beginning and again, as we entered into the beautiful time of meditation (which we have enhanced with music on the download).

Listen to The Seed, the Dream and You and learn about the quantum possibility that was encoded into you...and learn a whole different approach to manifestation! Listen right below (brush your mouse pointer across the title and push play).

A Letter to Your Soul for the New Year

Recently, an active community member sent me a letter I had written in 2008! She said that it has touched her so profoundly that she has never forgotten it. She also asked that I republish it so folks that had not been part of our community could still receive it. So, in honor of Cynthia Garner and YOU...here it is!

This is a letter to your soul for the New Year here on planet earth, so if you don't mind, could you read it aloud so it can hear it in your own voice?

The world is changing rapidly and we, as the ushers of a new and evolving consciousness, are being prepared in some mighty and mysterious ways! A time of reflection, gratitude and re-creation, we face an incredible opportunity to remember our very reasons for existence and come back into alignment with higher truth.

As we enter into the first few days of 2012, we must remain steady in what we know to be true and sacred. Evolution is usually met with resistance and the birthing process isn't always comfortable. In spite of stark projections, I believe that we--and the world--are changing in the very ways we have prayed for. We are finding our voices, embracing our dreams, and cleaning up that which is not a match for the vibration we each wish to project into the creation of our lives.  

Many of us have faced the challenges of loss and transition over the last year. Life has turned us upside down and sideways, yet always, always we land on our feet once again. In the illusion of aloneness, we find sanctuary in prayer, or music, or nature and realize both the humor and necessity of our human dance into divine forgetting. The contrasts shed light on all that we have to be grateful for. As Anita's husband always reminds her, "When we face the light, the shadows fall behind us." Yet, we can only face the light of today when we are willing to look forward and release anything that fetters us to the past.

What will we remember when we look back upon 2011? How will we acknowledge our own growth and abundance? Will we be able to appreciate the massive evidence of positive change? Will we appreciate our own willingness to heal our relationships and pasts and finally understand that regret just prevents us from being witness to the perfection of the present? 

To know, without a doubt, that you are loved, supported and adored may be the greatest wish ever dreamed. The truth is that this is a given. You are. We are. And when you forget, this community will be here to remind you. 

Many of us have lost "sight" of a vision for our lives that is absent of cultural conditioning and a list of "shoulds" that seem to define happiness, success and fulfillment. So much of what we think we want has been influenced by the various cultures and subcultures that we identify with or want to belong to. Your current pictures of what you believe is possible, or what you believe you are worthy or capable of receiving into your life may unconsciously limit you from opening to an expanded picture of what the New Year wants to bring you. 

This is why I am sharing this letter with you today. I wish to share so much with you. I wish to share just a sense of what we are capable of when we let go of what we have been taught by the world. Love, healing, peace - it is all right at our fingertips. . . Ultimately it is simply about reconnecting with an inherent essence that exists within you and supports you in both the physical and non-physical realms.   

You, as both creator and "the created," possess an innate power to manifest that which you desire and which is in alignment with your soul path. Most importantly, you are being called to bring yourself into wholeness and gratitude and heal that which prevents you from seeing yourself as a creative force in your life.

At the same time, as I am reminded of often, we must remember that although we are creators, we are not the Source of all of our good. Yes, we carry the energy and therefore are a physical manifestation of Source/God in the physical. But, the moment we attach to the idea that all of our good or abundance comes from ourselves or others; we dismiss the greater truth that abundance comes from a Source of infinite supply.

ASK your SOURCE TO HELP YOU KNOW and ALIGN with THE DESIRES OF YOUR SOUL and surrender to Divine Timing and an Order that is incomprehensible to most of whom walk with human eyes and hungering hearts.

Lack of clarity, unworthiness, fear, and lack consciousness blocks the communication of our soul's longing to be received clearly by our creative source. Replayed stories of woundings and victimization remove the power we possess to facilitate change in our lives. Plus, the pattern of recalling a past experience (and all of the equations we create) is creative in and of itself! Maybe the saying should go, as it is spoken, so it becomes.

Ancient wisdom shows us the power of prayer, intention, energy and sound to transform, heal and transcend. Pray believing and the whole world changes. Surrender attachment and open to even greater possibilities - potentials you can't even begin to imagine. Forgive the past and immediately open the flow to a wellspring of beauty that awaits your receiving. Release judgment and feel the healing power of compassion enter into your life.

Love what you once feared or hated and understand the blessing of being loved unconditionally in your own life. Give what you most desire. Share your talents and passions. Stop avoiding coming into contact with the immensity of your greatness because we need it - all of us.

Release and or heal all that fosters a constrictive energy (such as judgment, regret, doubt, etc.) and create an immediate and expansive opening to new realizations, creations and inspirations.  You are more ready and worthy than you have been able to realize – or admit.  The time is now and you are the one.

Namaste’, Ani
