Caveat and tips

For the last two weeks I’ve been sharing a gentle, accessible process for transformation and manifestation of new states of being as an alternative to the comparatively harsh, effortful, and dispiriting practice of New Year’s resolutions. At this point it feels right to warn you that though this process is simple, its power should not be underestimated. You will usher in tremendous change, support, and all the circumstances, people, resources, and lessons that you need to embody your soul’s deepest desires. This Read more…

2018

This past year was the fourth year running that I worked with a paired mantra and intention for manifesting and transformation, and it was the most magical by far. If you’ve been following this series, you’ll have seen how I gently stair stepped my way from the darkest period of my life to a strong, stable center by using conscious breath to bring me to the state of being my soul was determined to embody. This is Read more…

2017

Photo credit: Brian Rowe I’ve been sharing the details of my own engagement with this process of using a paired mantra and intention for manifestation and transformation because I want to show how it all arises organically from one’s life circumstances. This isn’t about the mind deciding what seems “good” or impressive or convenient to have, do, or learn, but the soul really communicating what state of being it wants to express, for reasons all its own. It provides, in other Read more…

2016

Since the paired mantra and intention process worked so well for me in 2015, I gave it another go the following year. When I leaned energetically into my learning edge what I noticed was that there was quite a disparity between how others saw me, how I felt when I sat in prayer, meditation, or in my Akashic Records, and my own low self regard. I called out for a mantra, and what I initially got was something Read more…

2015

The very first year I was inspired to work with a paired mantra and intention was 2015. In 2014 my dad died and I worked myself to burnout trying to cope with my grief. I knew my learning edge was to figure out self care as a matter of survival, but I had no idea where to begin. It was perhaps an act of grace that I felt a mantra come to me that really captured the deeper undercurrent of that wish: “to rest Read more…

Graceful transformation

Before Christmas I shared my process for manifesting magnitudes of transformation in your life without feeling like you have to reach for something outside yourself or having to engage in all the mental gymnastics of the Law of Attraction. I used to wonder at the magic of this process, which arose organically from my darkest life circumstances, and brought in so much light, beauty, and gifts beyond my imagination. But this month as I looked back on the last five Read more…

The mind’s intention

I’ve been sharing my my new year’s transformation process which requires no striving to become something you aren’t, no forcing yourself to do things you think you “should,” no “trying to motivate” yourself to bring about your soul’s deepest desires. It involves three very simple, gentle, accessible steps, and today I am focusing on the third: 1. finding your learning edge, 2. calling in a mantra, and 3. working with intention. The first two steps happen with such Read more…

Mind

This process I have been sharing of using your Brilliant System to bring about huge transformation is simple, gentle, and full of grace, but it takes a truckload of trust to really commit to it wholeheartedly. Especially in the beginning and during challenging times, your mind will up the ante with its chatter and put up a fight. You are, after all, challenging its authority as judge, jury, and executioner in your life. But the Read more…

Calling in a mantra

If you’ve been following this series, you will have already learned how to connect to your brilliant system with conscious breath and let your Higher Self take an energetic account of how you are showing up for life. Your learning edge is where you sense a gap between full presence—full connection with your Self and the larger flow of life—and your current level of availability to yourself and everyone and everything around you. Because you are letting your Read more…

How are you showing up?

Yesterday I promised to share how to call forth a mantra, but this morning I was guided to explain what I meant about doing it from the place of “where you stand and how you are showing up for life.” So take a breath to connect to your brilliant system and let your Higher Self take in this information only as it is appropriate for you. Asking how you show up is not about the conscious Read more…
