Celebrating

Every Friday, Kalyn and I celebrate. We have a group of students and friends who are actively improving their lives who come and celebrate with us, either at our home or we choose a restaurant in Santa Fe. Since doing so, we have not only seen the manifestation of our dreams and desires accelerate in incredible ways, but we have witnessed wonderful things our students and friends are bringing into their lives.

Why is Celebration a Powerful Path to Manifestation?

There are several reasons why celebrating accelerates your creating process. Here are a few;

1. Celebrating lifts the spirits of all those participating. It raises your emotional tone. As you live from a happier place, you can’t help but to attract higher vibrating things into your life.
2. Celebrating is a form of gratitude. As part of our celebrating process, Kalyn asks each person what they are grateful for in their lives. Everyone then toasts that person and celebrates what they are grateful for, acknowledging what they have received or created. Gratitude is one of the most powerful energies to strengthen manifestation.
3. Celebrating what you have manifested or are thankful for gives you more of what you are celebrating. As you celebrate what you are celebrating, you increase the energy, the thoughts, and feelings around it, attracting even more of it. It is also a personal marker for you giving you a reference point to just how much you are actually manifesting. When doing this people are often surprised at just how many of their dreams are coming true.
4. Celebration is a form of ritual. A ritual, as I am using it here, is something you repeat over time. When you repeat something often for a long period of time, especially when you do it at the same time (such as every Friday), you create energetic pathways for the energy of celebration and manifestation to come through. This empowers your manifestation process.
5. When a group of people with a common Intent come together, such as celebrating what they have manifested or what they are grateful for, it amplifies and strengthens everyone’s power of manifestation. The group synergy is powerful. Plus, having others celebrate your manifestations is a great affirmation.

A celebration is different than a party. A party is for having fun, or meeting people. A celebration is also for fun (we dance, feast, and play games), but also has Intent behind it that everyone shares. In this case the Intent is to celebrate what you have manifested or those things for which you are thankful. Even if your manifestation hasn’t yet taken form, by celebrating something you are grateful for, you will accelerate your manifestation process.

I highly recommend you take on the celebration habit. Not only will you empower your manifestation process but you will have a wonderful time doing so.

Living Your Dreams

There is a question that if you sincerely ask, and honestly answer yourself, will propel you onto to personal growth and spiritual faster than you can imagine. It will also powerfully activate The Law of Attraction. It is a question you should ask yourself every day. It is a question you should ask whenever you have a life challenge. Ask it and you will find that you already have the solution to any of life’s problems. Best of all, you will empower yourself to create the life of your dreams.

Before I give you the question, let me ask you a couple of other questions. When you dream at night, who is dreaming? Who creates your dreams? The answer is, of course, you do. You, or an aspect of the bigger self that you are creates your dreams, and you dream them.

Along the same lines, who creates your life? Who lives your life? The answer is the same. You do. You create your life and you are the person living it, no one else. When you are ready and willing to accept this truth, your entire life dramatically changes.

This first thing that changes is that suddenly you are empowered. If you are creating your life, life no longer happens to you. You make it happen. Perhaps you are not happy with everything in your life now. Knowing you are creating even those things you are not happy with, gives you the power to change what you create, and create something you will be happy with. After all, if life just happens to you, how can you change it? You can only change it if you create it. And, you do.

The second thing that happens when you realize that, just as you create your dreams you create your life, is you take responsibility for what you are creating. So often, people blame their life on other people, on circumstances out of their control. As soon as you do this, you have just given away your power to create the life you desire.

Blame is always self-destructive as is the anger that comes out of blame. In its extreme form, blame turns to rebellion which always harms self. Many people have more or less ruined their lives by blaming their parents and going into rebellion. They then project the blame onto bigger authorities such as society and/or government and ultimately end up dropping out of life and dis-empowering themselves.

This does not mean that you should not strive to improve the world you live in. You should. And, the best way to do this is to honor self and take responsibility for the world you are creating.

The third thing that happens is, because you are taking responsibility for the life you are creating, and because you are empowering yourself to more powerfully create that life, you begin to create the life of your dreams – a life full of love, abundance, well-being, with your deepest desires fulfilled.

So what is the most important question you must ask yourself every day? It is this. Ask yourself “Why am I creating this?” If you ask yourself this question, and honestly look at self, you will know. You will not only know why you are creating the situation or attracting the person or that kind of relationship, you will know what it is you need to shift in self to attract something better. You will have just empowered yourself to create the life of your dreams.

Aikido - In The Flow

If you push someone what happens? Chances are they will push back. If you grab someone’s hand and pull them, what happens? They pull away from you. If someone is needy and is grasping at you for your love and attention, what do you do? Most people pull away. Grasping at something you want can actually stop you from having it. Repelling something you don’t want, can make it push at you even harder.

People grasp and repel in many arenas in life. They grasp at things they want. They grasp at receiving pleasure. They repel people and things they don’t like. What they don’t realize is that the constant grasping and repelling, not only creates the outcome they don’t want, but puts them in a lot of stress and drains their energy.

In personal development, grasping and repelling will stop you in your tracks. You can’ heal something you avoid looking at. If you avoid and deny that you have an alcohol problem, for example, the problem will persist, or get worse. It is only through shining the transformative light of awareness on something that it can heal and be integrated.

If you wish to manifest your hopes, dreams and desires and activate the Law of Attraction, the best state to do this in is being in the flow of life. You must allow what you desire to be, not grasp at it. Grasping at something implies that you don’t have it. If you don’t energetically have it first, you won’t have it in form.

When you allow both the good and the bad without grasping and repelling, you enter into the the powerful flow of the now moment that flows through self and all of life. You naturally move into a state of well being that is more aligned with your desires manifest, activating the Law of Attraction.

There is a powerful Japanese martial art form called Aikido. Ai means harmony. Ki means spirit. Do means ‘the way of’ or ‘the road to’. In other words, Aikido means ‘the way of harmonized spirit’. The key difference between Aikido and other martial arts is that you don’t repel or block a person attacking you, you flow with punch or kick, using the energy of their momentum for yourself.

Do this in your life and you will have more energy to manifest what you wish to manifest. Instead of resisting things you don’t like and pushing them away, simply allow them to flow through you and dissapate. This puts you in the universal flow of life as you move into living in the now moment.

Be aware of where you are grasping at things in life. Imagine having your desires manifest. Grow the sensation of your desires manifest in your inner world. Do this without grasping at them and you allow them to move from being to having. Grasping prevents the having. For example, if you wish more abundance in your life, imagine yourself being abundant. Imagine what you will buy, what you will do, and most importantly how good you will feel with your abundance. If you are grasping at it, it means you don’t yet have it. Let the grasping go and have it in your inner world (your thoughts, feelings and imagination). As you do this you open the door to having it in your outer world as well.

Living in the Flow has other advantages. One obvious one is that when you are not repelling or grasping at things in life, you have more energy, and less stress. You are more relaxed and because of this are able to get more done in less time. One can only surmise that living a relaxed, stress free life with more energy would be better for your health and longevity.

Want to increase your well-being and more powerfully activate the Law of Attraction in your life? Be aware of where you grasp and repel in your life. Consciously let the grasping and repelling go. Allow whatever is to be. As you do so, you begin to live in the Flow where all good things reside.

Entrance to The Vortex at the sacred pyramids of Chichen Itsa

The life you desire resides just on the other side of your comfort zone. If you resist your uncomfortableness, guess what happens. What you resist persists and the discomfort only grows bigger. By resisting your uncomfortableness, that which you desire stays perpetually out of your reach.

I talk a lot about living life in The Flow, that wonderful state of being where you feel fully supported by life, stress free, cherishing every now moment. It is a magnificant way to live. It takes no effort to move into The Flow. You only need to allow it to be.

If it is such a wonderful way to be and live, why are so many people not living in The Flow? One reason is that they have a fundamental misperception about it. They believe that if you are in The Flow you won’t have problems, or life challenges. So, they avoid their challenges thinking that by avoiding them they will be in The Flow. Another thing people do, which is related to this avoidance, is they avoid the feeling of being uncomfortable. They believe that if they are feeling uncomfortable they won’t be in The Flow.

The problem with this avoidance is that it negates allowance. The only way to be in The Flow is to allow. More than this, the solution to the problem or life challenge often lies just beyond the resistance. If you avoid feeling uncomfortable, and don’t allow the problem, the solution will have difficulty coming to you. You have heard the saying, ‘What you resist, persists.’ This is true, and often what happens is that when you avoid problems, not only do they persist, they get bigger.

Feeling uncomfortable is a natural part of growing and expanding. If you want to become stronger physically, for example, you may need to exercise to the point of discomfort. If you want to become a public speaker, moving through the uncomfortableness of getting up in front of a group of people will help youbecome a skilled speaker. If you have had an accident and need physical therapy, it may be very painful. But, by moving through the pain you heal.

When you are living in The Flow, it doesn’t mean that you are problem free. It doesn’t mean that there are life circumstances that come that may make you feel uncomfortable. However, when you allow the uncomfortableness to be, you remain in The Flow and it moves through you much more quickly than when you resist it. If you simply allow the problem to be, more times than not you will find the solution magically presents itself. The solution is in The Flow.

As you allow and welcome life challenges, discomfort and move through your resistance, sooner than not you will find yourself stress free in a state of free flowing Joy, the problem will be resolved; and you will have grown, and become more of Who you truly are.

Are You in The Flow?

There comes a time in one’s life when you cherish every moment you are alive. The beauty of this state is that the more you cherish your life, the fuller it becomes. The more life you receive. Life is a gift and when you realize that fully, all of its beauty, abundance and love opens to you. Life supports you.

I am presently at an amazing chapter in my life. Everything that I could possibly desire on a deep level is here, right now. This morning I was taking a run along the country road that winds through the New Mexican high desert here in Santa Fe. It is June and the temperature is perfect. As I was running I could feel the warm, yet cool desert breeze on my face. Off to my right I was being serenaded by crickets chirping. The somewhat pungent scent of the desert plants was in the air. I felt alive and connected to that bigger part of Who I am.

A memory of a scene earlier in the morning came into my awareness. I had awakened to find a warm little body snuggled up against me. My three year old daughter had crawled inbetween my wife and I. I had my arm stretched across her, my hand holding the hand of my wife. I looked at the two angelic faces next to me as they dreamed. I remember feeling blessed with the love and beauty that surrounded me. It was a moment to cherish, a moment that I now realize set the tone of my day in the most exquisite way. What better way could there be to begin my day?

Sometimes we don’t realize just how much of our hopes, dreams and desires are actually right here in our lives. Too the degree you look at your life and cherish the things you have, life responds and supports you.

My wife Kalyn and I are living the life of our dreams. We have a loving relationship that deepens each day we are together. We are expanding our conscious business, doing what we love. We travel several times a year abroad, taking groups of wonderful people to explore the many incredible magical places there are. We teach, write in alignment with our Intent to help people grow, evolve and live a life full of love, abundance and connection. We are surrounded by no only our biological family but our ‘ohana (the Hawaian word for family), a loving surrogate family supporting each other in being all we can be. We are guided and supported in so many ways, both my seen and unseen friends.

You Can Have It All

Why am I telling you this? I want you to know that you too can have it all. Don’t let the illusion of mass consciousness tell you otherwise. It didn’t always appear this way in my life. There were times when I thought life was unfair, full of pain suffering, and just too much hard work with little reward. There were times when I was ready to throw in the towel and give up. Don’t do it. Begin by taking a walk, going on a run, or even a drive in the country, and find what you are thankful for in your life. Let the gratitude grow and thank your physical body, your emotional body and your mental body for all they have done to try to make life work for you. Be aware that you are not alone. You are never alone. There is so much help waiting for you if you were only to give consent and invite it in. Know that you are loved and always will be. There is nothing you can do in this lifetime to change that.

As you do so, you will come to know Who you are, that authentic part of you. Connect to it. Invite it in. Live your life from that place.As you do so you will see your hopes, dreams and desires take form in your life.

The now moment is infinitely small, yet infinitely big. In its smallness, it contains nothing. Yet, the moment of the now contains everything. Because the now moment contains nothing, to be in the now, you must let everything go and empty.

For a moment, empty yourself of everything. Let everything go. Let your problems go. Let your to do lists go. Let your preoccupations go. Let your thoughts and feelings go. As you empty you enter the Golden Flow. The Flow moves from the Source that you are, into your persona, through your body and into your life. This Flow contains a beautiful dream where all your deepest hopes and desires are manifest. The only thing missing from this dream is you. When you are in the Golden Flow of the now moment you are able to step into the dream and it becomes manifest in your life. This is one of the ’secrets’ of The Law of Attraction.  To the degree you align to the bigger dream of your life, it becomes real.

When you are having mental machinations, worries, or charged emotions, your energy is pulled away from the Source that you are. You are off center. Your center exists in the now. It is from the place of being on center that spiritual growth and evolution occurs.  The center of a river is where the current flows strongest. It is the center of self where Source energy flows most powerfully.

Take the time to find your now moments. Tell your mind to let it all go, even if only for a few minutes. Tell your mind it can come back to its concerns later, but for now, empty. Do this often. As you do the tremendous power of Source’s flow begins to move through you. Then, hang onto your hat as your life moves in wonderful ways.

It is good to ponder the word allow. Where do you allow in your life? Where do you not allow? Do you have beliefs that are not tolerant of new ideas? Do you allow the people you encounter in your life to be who they are? Perhaps most importantly, do you allow the greatness and glory that you are to flow through you and into your life? This is a time in humanity where people are empowered to plant the seeds of their greatness. The biggest factor that stops or limits your greatness is not allowing. You must allow your greatness to be.

One of the biggest misperceptions the human persona has is that it must make and create its life on its own. It doesn’t. You are a co-creator. The bigger You that you are, has great power in helping you manifest what you desire. In its natural flow, your Source Energy is always creating. However, the personality has the free will to block the creation. If the persona were to simply allow your greatness to be, all of your deepest hopes, dreams and desires would be manifest now, and you would be ready for the next leap in the expansion of Self.

To be in the flow of the bigger You, you must be in a state of complete allowance. It is the holding onto the illusion of control that stops the flow. The truth is you can’t control your life. Life is much larger than the persona. But, you can allow the bigger, more powerful part of you to work with you and through you to support you and create a wondrous life. So many people try to control their lives. They have long lost the trust in their Source. They have lost the trust that their Source works through life to support them. If they were only to allow the power of their Source Energy to flow through them, they would realize that there is no need to try to control. Source is always ready to work with you to manifest your deepest desires. Nevertheless, it will not override the persona’s free will. When you choose to allow your Source Energy to flow through your life, your life can’t help but to reflect back to you good things.

Be aware of the degree you allow in all areas of your life. As you are able to relax and allow, more well-being will flow into your life and will be reflected in your outer world. Health, abundance and love, which are things you don’t need to create, you simply need to allow them to be, will flow in and through you. The bigger You that you are is already in a natural state of love, health and abundance. All you, the persona needs to do is to allow Source Energy to flow through you and you will realize your greatness and glory in every aspect of your life. We call this flow the Golden Flow.

What is the Ego

The ego is one of those words that is thrown around in many different ways, and can have a different meaning depending on the context. Psychology speaks about the Ego and the Superego for example. In everyday conversation, we talk about ego as being equivalent to over inflated self-importance. However, in a spiritual growth context the meaning is specific and through understanding what the ego is and how it is formed we are better able to deal with it. We need to deal with it because ego prevents us from realizing our Unlimited Potential.

Shamanic Egg Cleansing

“A certain man believed that the ordinary waking life, as people know it, could not possibly be complete.

He sought the real Teacher of the Age. He read many books and joined many circles, and he heard the words and witnessed the deeds of one master after another. He carried out the commands and spiritual exercises which seemed to him to be most attractive.

He became elated with some of his experiences. At other times he was confused; and he had no idea at all of what his stage was, or where and when his search might end.

This man was reviewing his behavior one day when he suddenly found himself near the house of a certain sage of high repute. In the garden of that house he en­countered Khidr, the secret guide who shows the way to Truth. (In Sufi lore, Khidr is also known as ‘the green one’. Green is the color of compassion).(...)
