I choose inner joy
And walk it into the world
With each step I take
Intensity, I believe, has become a way of
life for most of us. As we move into the first Full Moon of 2007, our
resolutions might be to do all of those things that help us to stay centered
in the midst of change, whether it is meditating daily or eating food
that nourishes our physical well-being. Intensity is forcing us into a
life-style that supports our growing spiritual consciousness, like it
or not! 2007 is a 9 year in a 9 year cycle. That means that collectively
humanity is moving into a year of completions. It is time for us to live
what we have been learning for the past 9 years.
The Full Moon in Cancer highlights the choices
that we have - to respond to intensity with being overwhelmed, defensive
and resistant or to stay centered amidst the chaos. Create space for your
spirit, emotions, mind and body to be nurtured. Use water to soothe your
ruffled feathers and keep you in the flow of life.

Visuals to dream with - Spend some time on this full
moon looking for pictures, or creating pictures, that represent what you
want to bring into your life. Place them where you will see them each
day - on an altar, on the bathroom mirror, on the refrigerator. Whenever
you see them take a moment to feel what it will be like to have this in
your life and hold that good feeling as long as you can. End with a prayer
of gratitude to give thanks for it coming into your life.
I see and feel it
I'm grateful for its presence
Here in my life now
Living as if - Get in a comfortable position and
take a few deep breaths to ground yourself and relax. Imagine yourself
in a crystal cave, like the one that Merlin taught Arthur in. Beautiful
crystals all around you give off a beautiful glow, like being in the inside
of a geode. The crystals may be many different colors and they sparkle
like the moonlight on new snow. Take a moment to get clear about what
you would like to manifest in your life. Then see yourself living your
live as if whatever you want is already be here. How would you feel inside?
What actions would you be taking in your life? Really get into the feeling
and visualizing. You might imagine your life as a movie and then step
into the movie so it feels like it is really happening. Stay with this
visualization as long as you like and when you come back into present
time and space, hold the feeling of what you want already being here.
Holding the vision
Feeding it with my feeling
Calling it to me

Choices
Linda Heron Wind,
Ph.D.
As we move into the New Year and set our goals
and New Year's resolutions, I am looking at the role of visions, manifestation,
choices, and surrender in my life. It feels like the last few years have
been about learning to surrender to what is, to accept the moment and
what arises with it. I have discovered that joy, peace, and happiness
are inner processes and inner choices. When confronted with outer unpleasant
circumstances, I remind myself that I have a choice of how to experience
whatever is present. More and more I am making inner choices to be in
joy. Choice about inner experience, I believe, is the first step in mastering
choices.
The second step is to master outer choices
- choosing actions one takes in the physical world. I could sit and observe
life go by and be perfectly happy inside without ever taking any action,
but that doesn't seem like there would be a point to being here. Whatever
action I take in the world could stem from my awareness or from my unconsciousness.
If it stems from awareness, my choice is a conscious and deliberate outgrowth
of my beliefs and values. If it is unconscious, it arises from emotions
and unresolved issues that are often in conflict with my beliefs and values.
Mastering outer choices requires one to first adjust the inner attitude
and come into awareness. Then the choice can be made on a more conscious
level. Being mindful with the emotions that arise, rather than acting
on them, allows one to come back to awareness in a gentle and loving way.
The next step is to master choosing what shows
up in one's life. When you can choose your inner experience to an outer
event and the action you take in the world, you are ready to manifest
events. Books on manifestation always make it sound so simple, and it
is if you have mastered the first two steps in making choices. When you
manifest, you are using the law of attraction to bring to you what you
desire. The law of attraction is a vibrational law where vibration attracts
like vibration. So if you are vibrating the frequency of something that
you desire on an inner level, it will be attracted to you on an outer
level.
To begin the vibrating on an inner level, you
must first decide what you want to manifest, then you visualize it, feel
it, and act as if it is already here. The tricky part is to keep your
unconsciousness from counteracting the vibration you are sending out into
the world. The unconscious often sounds like, "That can never happen,
I can't do that, I don't deserve that, etc." Sometimes these thoughts
may come up and they remain minor blips on the radar screen if we immediately
release them. If we allow them to command our emotions, however, the vibration
is interrupted and manifestation is either delayed or canceled. So you
can see why learning to master your inner choices is critical in the process
of manifestation.
When you act as if what you desire is already
here, you must choose outer actions that are vibrationally consistent
with it. For example, I am working on creating an online training for
the mystery school. I must get clear about its purpose, visualize it,
feel it, and take actions in the outer world to support it. Those actions
might involve writing, recording meditations, organizing materials, creating
graphics, and meditating on content. All of these actions vibrate at the
feeling level of the completed training and help to call it into being.
If I am acting as if it is already here, the process of creation is simply
allowing what is already created to emerge. The actions themselves are
not what creates the finished product, it is the resonance of the actions
that attracts the completed training. If the outer actions I take do not
resonate with what I want to bring into being, the energy is conflicted.
While this might sound like a complex process,
it is something that all of us are already doing. When we do it with awareness
of what we are doing and we have control over our inner responses and
outer actions, then we become the magicians in our lives. It is a simple
process but it is not always easy to stay aware and at choice. As we move
into this New Year perhaps we can all visualize ourselves choosing what
supports the emergence of a more loving, peaceful, and abundant world
for ourselves and Earth.
From my awareness
I become the magician
Master of choices
